She didn't know how far she had gone, but she knew that the forest was very quiet, and she could occasionally hear the cry of owls, which seemed very strange in this quiet forest.

Another owl's cry sounded, and she shivered, and couldn't help but stop, not daring to run any further.

She has no heart and no lungs, but she is even more courageous, she is afraid of many things, all kinds of fears, she doesn't really need to appear, just her imagination can scare her to death!

She stood down, stretched her neck to look back, and shouted in her heart, "Husband, husband, come", but her husband didn't call, but called the snake.

On the tree in front of her, a python with a thick bowl mouth was wrapped around the tree, and two round snake eyes were staring at her, as if thinking about whether to eat her and when to eat her.

"Woo...... Husband, I'm so scared......"

She suddenly cried out with a wow, her eyes closed, and she hugged the bun in her arms tightly, as if the bun was her only reliance now.

At this moment, she only heard a muffled sound, as if something hit the flesh, she opened her teary eyes, her vision was blurred, she wiped her tears with her hand again, and then she saw that the big snake that had just been wrapped around the tree had its head drooping for some reason, as if it had lost all its strength, and hung on the tree like a boiled noodle, motionless.

Just as she was wondering, a handful of wildflowers suddenly stretched out from behind the tree, and then Tuoba Jiuxiao, dressed in black, walked out slowly from behind the tree.

Seeing him at this time, there were no wild flowers in her eyes, and she plunged into his arms.

"Uh......h Husband, you're finally here, scared me to death......"

He was startled, a little helpless in the face of her crying, holding the wildflower in one hand, and the other hand could only gently fall on her back, while comforting, he did not forget to observe the movement around him.

"Shh......h

He wanted her to turn down the volume, but the more he comforted her, the more fierce she cried, he helplessly looked at the dead snake on the tree next to him, and whispered in her ear,

"Be quiet, the snakes are scared to death by you."

These words made her stunned for a moment, and she raised her eyes to look at the great snake hanging from the tree, and then pouted at him, and cried out dissatisfiedly:

"You wronged me, this snake was obviously killed by you, you dislike me for crying ugly, woo ......"

He didn't come for so long, she was scared to death, afraid of adding grievances, she cried all at once.

But before he could make a sound, he suddenly took her face, sealed her lips, and swallowed all the cries that underneath her.

Tossing and sucking, it made her heart feel numb, tears were still hanging on her face, and the bun was still in her arms, she was kissed by him so stupidly that she forgot to react.

He let go of her lips, couldn't help but evoke a light smile, helped her wipe the tears from her face, and said:

"You're also the most beautiful when you're crying, so beautiful that I want to eat you in one bite."

She finally stopped crying, with tears in her eyes, watching him reluctantly curl the corners of his lips little by little, but smile so happily.

"I'm so scared of who told you not to come to me for so long."

She pouted and complained.

He brought the handful of wild flowers to her, and he was a little embarrassed, his eyes wandered around, but he didn't look at her, and said:

"This king thought you would like this, so I picked a few on the road and delayed it for a while."

She looked at him a little embarrassed, no matter how many grievances were gone, presumably it was the first time he sent flowers to someone, he knew the prince who was fighting all day long, where did he have the time to study these, it was really difficult for him.

She snatched the flower from his hand, and she had just run away, not even noticing how beautiful the wildflowers were blooming in the forest.

I took it to the bottom of my nose and smelled it, it smelled so fresh, and there were dewdrops on the petals, which made people feel refreshed.

She was overjoyed, stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips gently, and grinned:

"Thank you, husband."

Then he took out a bun from the paper bag in his bosom and held it up in front of him, saying,

"I invite you to eat steamed buns."

Tuoba Jiuxiao took the bun, pinched her face dotingly, and then hugged her and continued to walk east.

"I don't have time to eat buns now, those bandits recognized us, presumably Nangong Jue's people will soon chase after us, we have to hurry up."

"However, since they know that we are going east, they will surely guess our purpose, and if we go down this road, they will find out sooner or later."

"That's right, so we're going to go east and then west, so that they can't figure out what we're thinking, and then go around them."

Lin Ling'er's admiration couldn't help but be like a surging river, she gave a thumbs up and said seriously:

"Husband, you're awesome!"

Tuoba Jiuxiao glanced at her arrogantly, didn't say a word, hugged her and continued to walk east.

Besides, the group of bandits who were beaten to the ground, under the command of the bald man, pulled the unconscious one-eyed dragon and two other injured brothers in a cart to the Jintan Mansion in broad daylight.

Along the way, this group attracted the frightened and curious eyes of many people, until they entered the yamen of Jintan Mansion, and some people did not give up wanting to know what was going on.

In the yamen, Shencheng received them, and the bald man flatteringly told them the ins and outs of the matter, and finally added:

"Official, you see that our people were seriously injured in order to capture the imperial court, how can this be good?"

Of course, Shen Cheng understood what he meant, so he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to the bald man, and said coldly:

"Let's go to the doctor."

"Hey, thank you, thank you!"

The bald man hurriedly thanked him, and then took people and pulled the cart away, his news can't be sold in vain, and people can't be injured in vain, how can it be worth the money.

After the thieves left, Shen Cheng hurriedly entered the inner hall and reported the news to Nangong Jue.

Nangong Jue's two handsome thick eyebrows immediately tightened:

"They're going east?"

Shencheng Road:

"Yes, General, according to their current route, two more mountains will be Sinan, it seems that they want to return to Wani from Sinan and avoid our encirclement."

For several days, Nangong couldn't sleep at night, his eyes were bloodshot because of lack of sleep, no one could understand his pain, and his heart was entangled with longing, worry, hatred, and love for Lin Ling'er...... All kinds of emotions tied him up and made him miserable.

A punch slammed into the table, causing the water in the teacup to spill out.

"Mu Jiuxiao really treats everyone else as a fool! Quickly pass the order, whether it is Sinan or Zhebei, whoever dares to let Mu Jiuxiao enter the country will be my enemy in Daegu! Also, ambushes have been strengthened at all the borders, and I will not allow them to escape! ”

"Yes, General."

Shen Cheng turned around and walked out, but met Nangong Qingfeng who was slowly coming.

"Prime Minister."

He hurriedly hugged his fists to greet him, Nangong Qingfeng just nodded and let him go down.

Seeing that his father was coming, Nangong stood up weakly and bowed his head to him.

"Father, why are you here?"

Nangong Qingfeng looked at the environment here, just a Jintan Mansion Yamen, the environment is naturally not comparable to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Mansion Yin here was sent by Nangong Jue to break the small lawsuit for the people, and the entire Jintan Mansion Yamen has become a base for arresting wanted criminals, and Nangong is at the disposal of one person.

Nangong Qingfeng sat down, poured out the original cup of tea, and personally poured a new cup of tea for Nangong Jue, which flattered Nangong Jue, and hurriedly took it with both hands, respectfully and humbly, changing his previous hostility towards his father.

It's just because his father mentioned him last time and promised to help him find Lin Ling'er, and his father's scheming is indeed above him, so he has to obey.

Nangong Qingfeng looked at his bloodshot eyes and said:

"For a woman, is it worth it?"

His heart moved, this is what he had questioned his father countless times, but now when it came to himself, he had nothing to say, because the answer was: it was worth it.

The muscles on his cheeks twitched, he endured the pain in his heart, didn't say a word, and the word "anxiety" was printed on his white face.

Nangong Qingfeng did not continue to ask, but said quietly:

"Concentrate forces to encircle the east and west, relax the defense of the Lingshui River, and show them a clear way."

Nangong Jue's eyes tightened, and he hurriedly put down the teacup and said puzzledly:

"Father is trying to let them escape?"

Nangong Qingfeng raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and said:

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows."

Nangong Jue still didn't quite understand, but Nangong Qingfeng had already gotten up, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly:

"Jue'er, if you want to achieve great things, you can't care about immediate interests, just do what your father says."

After that, Nangong Qingfeng ignored the doubts in Nangong Jue's eyes, and did not explain more, and walked out of the inner hall slowly.

Nangong Jue looked at his father's thin back, although he was puzzled, the voice in his heart was very clear, he believed in his father.

The sun has set, the night is getting thicker, and you can only rely on the moonlight and starlight in the sky to travel in the dense forest.

"Husband, I'm so tired that I can't walk."

Lin Ling'er said breathlessly.

They had been on the road since they got out of the carriage, and no one could afford such a toss, let alone a pregnant woman who was four months pregnant.

Although she ate five large buns, she was almost digested now, her stomach rumbled again, she was tired, sleepy and hungry, and she was almost prostration.

Tuoba Jiuxiao paused, listened intently to the movement around her, and then asked her to rest against a tree first, and put her ear to the ground.

After a while, he got up and took out a dagger from his leather boots, cut a lot of the surrounding artemisia grass, and then spread the grass on the ground, opened the package that was tied to his body in the crop field, took out a clean coat and spread it on the artemisia grass, and then helped Lin Ling'er to sit down.

"Sit down and rest for a while, eat something, and I'll fetch water for you."

Seeing that he was leaving, she hurriedly grabbed him and said pitifully:

"Husband, don't go, I'm afraid."
