In distress outside the city
Zheng Zhi raised her head, Ling Xiao was less than two fists away from her at this time, and she could clearly see her figure reflected in Ling Xiao's amber eyes. There was amazement and obsession in her eyes, which made Zheng Zhi suddenly nervous, she looked away, and she didn't know what to say.
Ling Xiao found that he was out of shape, and his whole handsome face began to flush, he was not good at dealing with women, and at this time he was facing Zheng Zhi in this atmosphere, his usual calm and strategic strategy was useless at this time.
In the end, it was Zheng Zhi who broke the silence first, "Seeing that Xiaolan is okay now, I am also a little relieved." I've been out for a while, and I'll have to go back sooner. ”
Ling Xiao's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched his fist and released it again. After a while, he commanded aloud: "Dark gold, send your sister-in-law back." ”
After Zheng Zhi got into the carriage, Dark King Kong wanted to whip the horse, but Ling Xiao, who was already standing at the door to see him off, suddenly said: "Wait, it just so happens that I am also going to enter the city, let's go together." ”
Holding the horsewhip, Dark Jin was taken aback, the master is not a person who will change plans at will, why every time Zheng Zhi is there, he will be confused. Dark Gold exclaimed, "Master, this is too dangerous, and you and your wife will be in trouble if they are seen." ”
Ling Xiao's voice turned cold when he heard this, and said, "Recently, you have been talking more and more, I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry." ”
Dark Jin looked at the corners of Ling Xiao's pursed lips, knowing that his master had already made up his mind, he just arranged a few more subordinates just in case.
Zheng Zhi was sitting in the car, and when she heard Ling Xiao's words outside, her heart fluctuated, and he ignored the admonition of his entourage to ride in the same car with her, what did this mean? Zheng Zhi subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt with her hand, and immediately left a fold on the cotton skirt.
After Ling Xiao got into the car, Zheng Zhi looked at her nose and nose, and her nose looked at her heart, and the whole person was respectful and did not squint. And Ling Xiao didn't seem to care, he didn't look at Zheng Zhi, just leaned on the carriage, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at Zheng Zhi and asked, "Brother Bai, ...... he Is it okay with you? “
Zheng Zhi thought to herself that he was asking what he was doing, but she still hummed casually for the sake of face. Ling Xiao stopped talking, turned his head and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
The carriage was not far from the city, and the dark gold driving in front of him suddenly shouted: "There is an ambush!" Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and the murderous aura in his eyes appeared, he lifted the curtain and looked, only to see more than a dozen people coming down the lush hillside, all masked and carrying swords, and walking lightly. In the blink of an eye, those people were already gathered near the carriage, and Dark Gold jumped off his horse and drew his sword to meet him. And the subordinates arranged by Ling Xiao, the four people hiding in the shadows also quickly fought with the masked man.
The carriage was still rushing forward, and the car that was not being driven was on a rampage. Ling Xiao stabbed a masked man who wanted to get into the carriage with the short blade he was wearing, and he saw that more and more masked men were fighting under him, and they were now outnumbered.
Zheng Zhi had never encountered such a scene, and even if she was calm on the surface, she was terrified at the moment. When she saw the blood gushing out of Ling Xiao's knife from the masked man's body, she bit her lip desperately to keep from exclaiming. Ling Xiao turned around and saw Zheng Zhi cowering in the corner, her face was full of horror, and her lips were biting her lips with her teeth and bleeding slightly.
"It's so stupid, if you're scared, you call it out, what's going on with biting yourself." Ling Xiao had already picked her up as he spoke. I don't know if it was because I listened to Ling Xiao's words, in Zheng Zhi's loud exclamation, Ling Xiao flew onto the horse with Zheng Zhi in his arms, and then turned around and decisively cut the rope between the horse and the cart. Without the restraint of the car, the horse instantly pulled out its legs and galloped wildly. The masked man was getting farther and farther away from them, Ling Xiao and Zheng Zhi didn't dare to slack off, and the howling wind blew by his cheeks.
"Are you cold? Why is your body shaking so much? Ling Xiao's clear voice behind her sounded in her ears, and she could even feel the hot breath exhaled by Ling Xiao.
Zheng Zhi trembled for a while, and finally her voice returned to her throat: "I haven't seen so many bloody ......"
Ling Xiao was silent for a while, as if he hadn't heard Zheng Zhi speak, and said to himself: "If it's cold, I don't have any clothes for you to wear now, so I can only give you a big bargain, and I won't be cold if you hold me." As he spoke, he held the reins with one hand, wrapped the other around Zheng Zhi's waist, and brought her into his arms with a slight force. Zheng Zhi was tightly confined in Ling Xiao's arms, but at this time, her nerves and senses were a little dull, and now she just wanted to return to Baifu as soon as possible.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and it turned out that two masked men chased after him. Ling Xiao hugged Zheng Zhi tighter, and he whispered, "Hold on to me." With a flick of the whip, the horse ran madly forward.
Seeing this, a masked man in the back took out a bow and arrow and pointed an arrow at the horse's hooves, and the horse was planted forward in a roar, Ling Xiao and Zheng Zhi were thrown off the horse, and Ling Xiao rolled on the ground several times with Zheng Zhi in his arms. Ling Xiao didn't care that his hands and face were scratched by the rubble, he pulled up Zheng Zhi, who was already speechless, and fired a signal flare. And the two masked men quickly surrounded them in the middle, and Ling Xiao protected Zheng Zhi behind him and entangled with them.
After more than a dozen moves, one of the masked men wanted to pull Zheng Zhi while Ling Xiao was unprepared, saying that it was too late to be discovered by Ling Xiao and repelled fiercely.
"You're here for me, let her go." Ling Xiao said sharply.
One of them, who seemed to be older, laughed and said, "She's from Baifu, then don't blame us for being rude, you and she don't want to leave alive." With that, he slashed at Zheng Zhi with his sword.
Ling Xiao quickly pushed Zheng Zhi away, but he accidentally received a sword in his shoulder. He swerved and stabbed the older masked man in the heart, then picked up the man's sword and swung it until the other masked man fell to the ground.
"Let's go!" The front was not far from entering the city, Ling Xiao pulled Zheng Zhi and ran forward, blood flowed down Ling Xiao's shoulder to the back of his hand, and then to Zheng Zhi's hand that was holding it.
"You're badly wounded." Zheng Zhi said in a trembling voice.
"It's okay, I'll send you back to the city right away." Ling Xiao's face was pale, and he held on to his spiritual path.
Zheng Zhi looked at the city wall not far away, and she suddenly stopped. Ling Xiao looked back at her in surprise, only to hear her say: "We will definitely be suspected of entering the city like this now, I will help you bandage it to stop the bleeding, and we will not be in a hurry to enter the city again." ”
Ling Xiao frowned: "But, you won't go back......"
Zheng Zhi interrupted him: "It's okay, soon." “
They hid in a patch of grass more than a man high, and Ling Xiao stripped off his upper left body, revealing his injured left shoulder. The wound was still bleeding, and the stab wound was deep enough to see the bone. Zheng Zhi tore off one of her skirts, she was glad that she was wearing a plain cotton skirt today, and it was best to use cotton cloth to bandage the wound.
"You used to have just a wrinkle on your skirt, but now it's torn like this." Ling Xiao actually laughed, and that smile seemed to mock himself.
Zheng Zhi was surprised when he noticed her dress. Seeing Ling Xiao's complicated expression, Zheng Zhi no longer answered, focusing on the bandaging work at hand. After a while, Ling Xiao's shoulders were properly bandaged. Ling Xiao moved his arm and said with a smile: "Your bandaging skills are much better than embroidery." ”
Zheng Zhi couldn't hold back anymore and wondered: "How do you know that I can't embroider well?" ”
Ling Xiao smiled playfully and said, "Just look at the silk handkerchief you usually use." ”
Zheng Zhi's heart was churning, she and Ling Xiao had only met a few times, and he had noticed so many details.
Ling Xiao saw Zheng Zhi bowing her head and was silent, thinking that she had thought of the previous fight again, so she comforted: "Wait for my people to arrive, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Zheng Zhi looked at the gradually darkening sky and nodded, habitually biting her lip again. Ling Xiao looked at Zheng Zhi's rouge-coated lips, which had cracked and broken at this time, and when Zheng Zhi didn't react, he had already reached out and gently stroked her lips. Zheng Zhi's lips felt a warm touch, this touch seemed to reach the softness in Ling Xiao's heart, and he suddenly felt as if he had been trapped in a swamp, unable to extricate himself.
Zheng Zhi came back to her senses in shock, she immediately turned her face away, and the look like Ling Xiao just now made her at a loss. And at the moment when Zheng Zhi turned his face away, Ling Xiao's hand frozen in the air suddenly felt lost.
