Ye Qing pulled Ji Ling over and looked around, waiting to make sure that there were no more enemies, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Wang, can you guess who that is?" Ji Ling did not have a trace of panic, but seemed unusually calm, looking at the departing carriage in the distance.

It was an ordinary-looking carriage, probably to hide people's eyes, but the people sitting in it must not be ordinary.

Zheng Qi looked a little embarrassed, and he squatted down in front of the new grave, remembering the last words that Furong had said to him before he died.

Yazi, the Yan Kingdom is dying, protect the little princess.

At that moment, the memories buried deep in the depths finally resurfaced.

In his memory, there are parents who love him and a good-natured sister.

There is a plain but happy family.

He never saw his family again until he was four years old, when he went missing.

After that, he was picked up by Gu Yuan, when Gu Yuan was just a young boy who had just entered the military camp, so Gu Yuan went to the military camp, and he was sent to the secret guard training camp.

I heard that there he can become a very powerful person.

In the future, he thought, he could protect his family.

In order to find him, my sister infiltrated the General's Mansion, but she didn't think about it, she became Xiao Qing's pawn, and finally died because of it.

That Xiao Qing was not a benevolent person, he threatened his sister with his parents' lives, and after the matter was revealed, he was ruthlessly killed.

When Zheng Qi thought of this, his eyes turned around, but the indifferent look on his face did not change much.

"What happened in this Aokou Village?" Ji Ling walked a few steps to Zheng Qi's side and asked.

This village is very abnormal and lifeless.

Zheng Qi stood up with his body propped up, and no one around him dared to help him.

"There is no one in this Aokou Village, and everyone who can walk is gone."

Ji Ling nodded knowingly.

"We're looking for the little princess, do you really, don't you know where the little princess is?"

Zheng Qi shook his head helplessly.

Yeqing had been behind him all along, but at this time, she suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Ji Ling.

"We can take you away to Guiguo, you are a very good guard."

The faint voice of Yeqing came, reaching the ears of Zheng Qi and Ji Ling.

"We can heal you."

His eyes scanned Zheng Qi's body, if he didn't treat it in time, this young man would definitely die.

Zheng Qi: "......"

The prospect is tempting.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over from a distance, panting, as if something terrible had happened.

"Little boy, we just searched around, found it, found the little princess." The guard slurred and finally finished speaking.

Ji Ling turned around abruptly and asked eagerly, "Where?" ”

The guard trembled, glanced at Yeqing, and saw that the prince didn't say anything, so he had to continue to explain: "It's over there." ”

Ji Ling looked in the direction he pointed, it was another hut away from here, next to the river.

Ji Ling didn't think about it, he pulled his legs and ran over.

Zheng Qi, who was originally standing aside and was injured, pulled out the arrow on his body, supported it with a long sword, his face was nervous, and he limped to the hut.

Yeqing silently followed at the end, not saying a word.

The hut, from the outside, was still intact, and when I walked in, I found that it was a charred ruin inside.

Ji Ling saw this broken scene, and his feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it was difficult to move that slope anymore.

The guard cautiously followed behind him and explained, "This is it, we found the little princess in there...... Body. ”

"Are you sure?" Ji Ling stared straight at the guard who was leading the way.

The guard saw that he was asking him, and nodded without hesitation.

This time, Ji Ling did not continue to ask, but dragged his steps towards the scorched ruins, Zheng Qi had already dragged his injured body in.

It's not that he doesn't want to believe it, but why would the little princess die in such a place?

When Ji Ling walked in, Zheng Qi had already limped out again, and his face was obscure.

He looked at the young man's sad expression, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

There was only one female corpse inside, but because it was burned so badly by the fire, it could only be roughly seen that she was fat and thin.

It is conservatively estimated that it should be a seven or eight-year-old girl, but that face has long been indistinguishable.

Ji Ling turned back to the guard suspiciously, "How can you be sure that this is the little princess?" ”

"This?" The guard scratched his head helplessly, looking embarrassed.

Then, under Ji Ling's gaze, he took something out of his arms.

A charred, but faintly recognizable red bean bracelet.

"This is found on this female corpse, please take a look, little boy." The guard handed the burnt red bean bracelet to Ji Ling with both hands.

Of course, he remembered this red bean bracelet, because it was made by himself three years ago, and although it went through some twists and turns, he finally gave it to the little princess as he wished.

God knows how happy he was at the time.

That was the only time he didn't hate Joan's meddling.

However, now this red bean bracelet actually appeared here, on the charred female corpse.

Ji Ling clenched the red bean bracelet tightly in his hand, and the corners of his eyes were red, until he finally knelt in place.

The guard looked at a loss and said softly, "Little boy? ”

No response.

That little princess with a strange temper really left, left forever.

Yeqing walked in softly from outside, didn't make too much noise, and stood silently beside Ji Ling, letting the little boy be sad for a while.

"Don't be delusional, from now on, your name is Yexi, remember this name."

His voice had no warmth or pity, but it was full of helplessness and confusion.

Ji Ling originally lowered his head, but now he suddenly turned his head and hugged Yeqing's thighs, with tears in his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, you tell me that the little princess is still alive, right?"

Yeqing didn't look down at him, and an indifferent voice came from above.

"She's dead, the Yan Kingdom is gone, a princess, what else?"

Ji Ling's hand slowly slid down, no one could understand his mood, they just wanted to give him another identity.

Let him do the things he doesn't like.

But what's the point of him doing this?

Yeqing's faint voice came from above again, "You should know who killed her, so you should know what you should do." ”

The young man who was sitting on his knees didn't answer him, just pinched the red bean bracelet in his hand, stood up, and walked out alone.

Yeqing immediately followed out and ordered, "Bury the princess and prepare to return to Guiguo." ”

"Whoa." The guards replied in unison.

No one noticed that the young man who was limping before had disappeared, and he was so badly injured that he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"It's a pity that such a martial arts wizard." Yeqing muttered.
