Chapter 21: Returning to the Palace (1)
?
It was completely dark, and the fire in front of me was gradually weakening, so Qi Min carefully put my feet on the ground, stood up and said, "I'll go pick up some branches again!"
I hurriedly grabbed his sleeve to prevent him from leaving, in such a terrible environment, I would be scared to death if I was alone here.
He looked down at me with a frightened look, then at the flickering fire, and said, "This fire is about to be extinguished, and if you don't keep burning, you will be cold!"
"Then I'll go with you. I struggled to stand up, but I couldn't stand up because of a foot injury, Qi Min hurriedly supported me, I blinked helplessly, he had to help me sit down, I took his arm, leaned my head on his shoulder, yawned, closed my eyes and whispered: "I'll sleep for a while!"
There was only the sound of the wind whistling around, I was obviously very scared, but I don't know if it was because I was too sleepy, I actually fell asleep in a daze, and my arms were as solid and warm as that man, which made me feel a little relieved.
I don't know how long I slept, but Qi Min gently woke me up and said, "Auntie, Auntie, wake up!"
I opened my eyes and 'touched' my sore neck: "What's wrong!"
"I think I hear someone's screaming!"
"Really, someone came to save us. "I was completely sleepy, and all of a sudden I was 'refreshed'.
He leaned me against the tree again and said, "Wait, I'll climb the tree and see!"
Without waiting for me to answer, he had already jumped onto the treetop branches, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect that he actually had martial arts, and remembered his strong arms, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer.
After a short time he jumped down from the tree and said happily, "I have seen the torches, and it seems that they will soon find us." Then he picked up some branches around at random and lit a small fire, "so that if they could see the light of the fire here, they would not be delayed!"
I looked up and smiled at him, I was afraid that I would be driven back to the palace tomorrow, and the thought of returning to the cage where I could only see the four corners of the sky made my mind sink a little.
"Why, aren't you happy. He asked, sitting down next to me.
I rested my chin on my knees, folded my hands, and said, "Thank you, Enlightenment!"
He was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "It's nothing, besides, it's me who is not good......"
"I'm not talking about today, I'm talking about ...... Thank you for the birthday gift, it's hard for you to remember, but ......" I smiled faintly and lowered my voice, "That hairpin is not recorded, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to wear it in my life!"
He was silent for a long time, until the shouting gradually 'approached', and then he said in a firm and low tone, "There will be a chance!"
At that moment, he had a domineering spirit that I had never seen before.
"They're here. When the call came, three figures suddenly came, and one of them hugged his fist at Qi Min and said, "Fifteen masters." He gave me a slight salute: "Little master!"
I turned my head and saw that it was General Ziling, and I couldn't help but pout.
"The fifteenth master is fine, the little young master is fine. General Ziling always had a straight face, and his tone was cold, so similar to that person.
Qi Min returned to his previous courtesy and gentleness, and said, "I'm fine, it's just that the little boy's foot is injured, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to walk." He saw the two people following behind General Ziling, and hurriedly asked, "These two are!"
General Ziling said briefly: "It's the students of the academy, and the time is in a hurry, and it's too late to go back to the city to mobilize people, so I can only appoint them." As he spoke, he turned back to the two scholars and said, "There are still people looking for them in other places, you go and inform them that they have been found, and I will take them out of the mountain!"
The two scholars nodded their heads and said goodbye, and General Ziling walked up to me and asked, "Can you still walk, if you can walk, walk faster!"
I said angrily, "You broke your foot and tried it!"
He raised his eyebrows impatiently, then crouched down with his back to me: "Come up!"
"What are you doing, you can't hire a sedan chair, and the man and the woman will not be kissed. I muttered.
Ziling said loudly: "Where did you get the sedan chair in the middle of the night, don't rub it in, you are messing around like this, making the Lord worry in vain!"
I was angry, but I didn't dare to provoke him, maybe he would sue him when I went back, so I had to climb on his back and let him carry it, his back was very broad, and his muscles were tight, so he didn't have to be afraid of slipping down.
He held me in one hand and a torch in the other, and said to Qi Min: "The fifteenth master has followed!"
Qi Min followed silently and asked, "Does the imperial brother know about this?"
General Ziling nodded and said, "The Lord originally asked me to come and pick you up after I took care of the errand, but who knew that I would encounter such a thing, I was afraid that the matter was very important, so I ordered someone to go back and inform the Lord!"
I lay on his back and couldn't help muttering, "Aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility!"
General Ziling said coldly: "You are a daughter, if there is really any mistake, the last general will not be able to bear it!"
"Cut. I rolled my eyes, and saw that his neck was in front of me, and if I bit it, I might be able to bite off his veins, and I bit the air twice, but I didn't dare to really touch him, and I glanced at him, and I pouted to look at him.
Ziling didn't know if he noticed it, frowned and said secretly: "'Female' people are trouble!"
I was ashamed and angry, and said in a weird way: "Yes, 'women' are troublesome, but men are not troublesome, no wonder generals like to be with men!"
His steps slammed, I leaned forward, my lips touched his earlobe, and I immediately said angrily: "Do you want to fall me to death?" Under the light of the fire, I found that the roots of his ears were red, and I don't know if I was thinking about it.
Qi Min hurriedly said: "General, let's hurry up, the imperial brother doesn't know how to be in a hurry." He looked at me again: "Niangniang's foot is injured, so you have to find a doctor quickly!"
"Where will people care if I live or die? I was still angry, and said casually.
Qi Min gave me a faint look and motioned for me to stop talking, I snorted and turned my face away from him.
General Ziling took a step, but it was faster than before, and I yawned again, wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes.
I don't know what time it is, tired, hungry and sleepy.
I felt that someone was holding me in my arms, and I opened my eyes and saw that the gray 'cloud' and 'cloud' all around, as if it was about to dawn, and then I saw a cold face and a pair of eyes full of anger.
"Qiheng. I muttered, hugged his waist and pillowed my head in his arms, "Don't scold me yet, wait until I wake up...... I am so tired. ”
