Chapter 20: The Cabin in the Woods
"This damn woman!"
Baili was shocked and couldn't care about anything else, jumped on the top of the wall, walked along the edge of the city wall, lifted the rubble, and chased Xuan Zhige all the way.
Baili Shengji, who was so frightened that he was stunned, stuck out his tongue, muttered and sighed-
"I really can't see it, why is this third brother's concubine who has just entered the palace so violent? The third brother, who dares to love this once-in-a-millennium enlightenment, actually likes this tune? β
Baili Sheng shook his head, and saw from a distance that Concubine Dong seemed to be coming in his direction, like a mouse seeing a cat, he rushed out of the palace in a few steps, and specially instructed his subordinates-
"Whoever asks, just say that I have never been to the palace. Do you understand? or you will cut off your tongues and eat and drink. β
"Yes, yes."
The subordinate nodded again and again.
Baili Shengji jumped on the horse, and with a "drive-" sound, he ran away without a trace.
This Concubine Dong, he can't afford to provoke him, and he can afford to hide.
******************************
Under the moonlight, it was Xuan Zhige who flew non-stop over one obstacle after another, and didn't even dare to breathe and ran all the way.
She intuitively felt that someone was following her behind her, but she didn't dare to stop longer, for fear that a person who stayed and followed would stab her with a sharp sword.
"If I had known, I would have learned martial arts from the old man! Alas! What a bad day today! β
Xuan Zhige sighed, jumped into a jungle, and disappeared!
And Tianwu, who was following behind her, was shaken by her like this, obviously disoriented, and whispered "Huh-" and stood in place, missing the trace of Xuan Zhige.
He slowly picked up the sword in his hand, and by the moonlight, he tried to remember something, and mutteredβ
"Could it be...... Did I think too much? She's not the one we're looking for? β
Tianwu hesitated for a moment, and saw that he was afraid that it would be fruitless to search for a long time in this jungle, so he withdrew and left.
He didn't notice that above him, above a treetop, there was a figure of a hundred miles of shocking dust condescendingly looking at Xuan Zhige's departing figure, he looked down at Tianwu in the distance, and said with a smile: "Could it be that this kid really likes this woman?" So persevering, all the way to here? β
Baili Dust just crossed the tip of a treetop, looking at an old man who had been standing at the door of the only small grass hut in the forest for a long time.
I saw that the old man seemed to be leaning on his back, coughing constantly, and staggering, but the moment he saw Xuan Zhige, the old man's eyes flashed with reassuring surprise, and he shouted with all his strength-
"Xuan girl, slow down, slow down."
"Old man pig! Look, I've brought you something! β
Xuan Zhige took out a paper bag from his arms like a trick, shook the paper bag in his hand happily, and ran all the way towards the old man!
"What Xuan girl brought to me must be called Huaji. You can smell the fragrance from afar! Hahaha - the old man is hungry. β
The old man coughed several times, saying that he was hungry to death, but he still hugged Xuan Zhige, as if he had gained and lost, and there was joy in his eyes that could not be hidden.
"Old man pig, let me tell you, I have spent a lot of effort to call this flower chicken today! It's a pity that the road is delayed, it should be cold......"
"It's okay, it's okay. Have you eaten it? β
The old man smiled lovingly and stroked Xuan Zhige's hair.
"Me! Eat early! Eat it! β
Xuan Zhige wiped the tip of her nose and said with a dodge in her eyes, while stuffing the chicken leg into the old man's mouth.
"Lying again."
Baili Shocking Dust above the treetops looked at this scene and said faintly.
