The prince slept very deeply, and Liu Ye waited for half a night and didn't see him ask for water to drink, so he squinted on the couch for a while.

When the first ray of light shone in the morning, Liu Ye suddenly opened her eyes, she felt a mysterious and mysterious aura, glanced at the prince on the shelf bed, Liu Ye got up and walked over to put down the three-layer bed tent, and then walked back to the bed.

Behind the bed is a window, and the breath that the willow leaves feel leaks in through the crack.

Outside this window is the East.

Willow opened the window, and a cold wind hit, but Willow held back her sneeze and felt refreshed.

Purple gas is coming from the east!

This is the rarest golden time for cultivation that they have ever talked about.

Liu Ye hurriedly faced the east, sat cross-legged, his hands naturally rested on his knees, silently recited the mantra in his heart, and silently ran his true qi.

Liu Ye, who is not very talented, has finally touched the threshold of true qi.

The purple qi came from the east for a short time, only about a pillar of incense, and it was not available every day, so Liu Ye was very lucky.

When the prince woke up, he felt a little depressed, and sat up alone and silently recalled the events of the previous night, he did not break anything, and finally looked at the overlapping bed tents, and felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Suddenly opened the bed tent, but felt the temperature plummet, raised his eyes, and saw the willow leaves sitting cross-legged facing the east window, bathed in the morning light, indescribably quiet and serene.

The prince's anger suddenly dissipated and was completely gone.

This girl kept watch over me all night!

Only then did I understand why the thick bed tents had fallen, because I was afraid that I would freeze.

The prince sat on the bed and also crossed his knees, he didn't want to disturb Liu Ye.

The shadow on the roof opposite woke up and took over from his subordinates, and what he saw was such a picture.

The willow leaves were in front of the window, facing the rising sun, and the prince on the bed not far behind her was also cross-legged.

The first wisps of smoke rose in the courtyard, and Willow Leaf woke up, and she smelled the fireworks. Looking back, the prince was also opening his eyes.

"Your Highness is awake, do you have a headache, do you want to drink water?" Liu Ye hurriedly walked over to the ground and asked.

"Uh..." The prince was about to say no, but when he saw that Liu Ye really cared about himself, he changed his words and said, "I'm a little thirsty." ”

Liu Ye picked up the teapot from the round table, poured a cup of warm tea, and handed it to the prince.

As soon as the crown prince felt that this feeling was very warm, Liu Ye couldn't wait to ask: "Your Highness, when will we leave, can I go first?" ”

The prince sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "You have to eat breakfast before leaving!" ”

"I'm not hungry! Can I go first? Liu Ye wanted to rush back to tell Wang Yuhe the good news.

"Then bring some dry food, drink some water, and then go." Looking at the willow leaves as if sitting on pins and needles, the prince had no choice but to compromise.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Ye was very happy, thanked the prince and ran out, passed by the kitchen, took a piece of bread in his mouth, and rushed to the stables with a kettle.

The prince had just gone out and stood in the corridor on the second floor, and Liu Ye had already rushed out of the post station first.

"Tadaji!" The prince whispered.

Tadaji can appear downstairs and get down on one knee.

"Keep up!"

Tadaji nodded, and also led a horse out of the stable, galloping all the way to follow Willow Leaf.

Tadaji was a little excited in his heart, he was here to protect her along the way, and he used to think that he would be happy to take this responsibility, but for this period of time, he has been faintly worried, afraid that the replacement will not be as attentive as himself.

Although she returned to the capital, she would still be replaced to protect her, but in this short half a day, although she was riding a horse and galloping, Liu Ye was under the protection of him alone.

Although, Liu Ye didn't know that she was secretly protecting her behind her.

If you follow the convoy, you will not be able to enter the city until at least evening, and at this speed, you will be able to reach the city gate before noon.

Perhaps too anxious, Yanagiha lost control of the horse during a turn and was about to fall off with a few screams, but fortunately, Tadaji arrived in time and made a human flesh mat.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Liu Ye found that it was not as painful as she imagined, and when she raised her eyes, she grinned at the pressure of Zhongji...

Willow leaves rush

Got up tightly, helped Tadaji to stand up, patted the soil on his body, and said, "Thank you." ”

Tadaji shook his head, still not good at words.

The horse had already run away, Liu Ye was a little helpless, Tadaji looked at her anxious appearance, and whistled, and when the horse, which had no shadow, heard it, he turned around at a trot.

Liu Ye was very surprised when he saw it, and looked at Zhongji and said, "Wow, you are so amazing!" ”

Tadaji was overjoyed.

The horse came back, but it was panting, Tadaji wanted to speak and stopped, and Liu Ye said: "It's tired, let it rest and rest." ”

Zhongji nodded, just now he wanted to say it, but he was afraid that Liu Ye would be anxious.

Looking at Tadaji's appreciative look, Liu Ye smiled and led the horse to the woods next to him, letting it eat at will on the grass, and said, "Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter." ”

Tadaji also led the horse over, and for a while the two of them quietly watched the horses grazing, and the air suddenly became heavy.

"I'm sorry." Tadaji did countless mental construction before he said to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head slightly.

Zhongji thought that Liu Ye refused to forgive him, so he knelt down and said, "You can beat and scold me if you want to." ”

Liu Ye smiled bitterly, walked over and pulled him up, and the two of them sat on the grass.

"You just did the right thing by separating us before things got to the point of no return, so don't blame yourself like that."

Zhongji was surprised: "You don't hate me? ”

"I'm more reluctant to see him hurt because of me than I would be hurt because of me, and I'll blame myself, and it's more painful than I am now." Liu Ye stared at the lawn in front of him and said, "This is the conclusion I finally came to after thinking and tangling during that time. ”

Zhongji's chest rose and fell violently, he didn't expect Liu Ye to have this attitude, this kind of thought, he didn't blame him at all, he... I couldn't help but wet my eyes a little, and the knots and guilt that had been held in my heart for half a year disappeared like this.

"After all, I ruined your family." Tadaji is still a little unrelieved.

"In life, there are many things to do, and feelings are not the only thing. There's a lot I want to do, and I'm still happy if I do it. Some people are not suitable to spend their lives holding hands, so I hide them in my heart, and missing them is also a kind of happiness. ”

Liu Ye showed a gentle smile, and there was an indescribable sense of healing for Tadaji.

Zhongji reflected on Liu Ye's words, and slowly realized that the firm will in her heart was the same as the feeling that Xia Yibai gave him at the beginning. Tadaji has made an important decision at this moment!

Seeing that the time was not early, the two of them went on the road again, and with Tadaji, the master of horse taming, the second half of the journey was very smooth.

When we arrived at the gates of Phoenix, it was just after noon.

"I'll go directly to Changxingfang when I enter the city, you're tired too, go back to the other courtyard." After saying goodbye to Tadaji, Ryu Ye rode his horse forward cautiously.

Just after noon, there were not many pedestrians, and the horses were able to trot.

Tadaji didn't go back to the other courtyard, he observed that no one followed to protect Willow Leaf, so he followed Willow Leaf all the way.

Liu Ye was anxious all the way back to Changxingfang to know that Wang Yuhe went out of the city to the temple to burn incense a few days ago, and he has not returned yet, and he originally said that he would come back in the morning.

Liu Ye was anxious when he heard this, and asked who he was bringing with him, what things he had brought, and how many guards followed him in several carriages, and turned his head and ran out of the city.

There are many temples outside the city, Liu Ye went straight to the one where Wang Yuhe went, Zhong Er also followed, Liu Ye said the situation, Zhong Er said to inquire about the situation, and acted separately.

Liu Ye went up the mountain to ask the monk who had been a guest for four years, and learned that he had gone down the mountain early this morning, and it stands to reason that he should have arrived a long time ago.

Liu Ye hurriedly went down the mountain, carefully observed along the way, and sure enough, traces of a fight were found not far from a fork in the road, because Liu Ye was in a hurry to go up the mountain, and they were all riding horses and walking on the path, and the road was spacious but relatively far away.

So at first she didn't find out.

Liu Ye was anxious, and followed the traces all the way to a valley in the north of the capital. Abandoned wagons were found here, and then there were more horseshoe prints and ruts, apparently met by the people who met them, all of whom had changed their gear.

Willow soon found a hidden mark.

It's the mark of Xiao Ding! Willow Ye lifted his spirits, put down the mark, and came to a tree, and dug out a shallow buried ball of cloth, apparently torn off in a hurry.

The willow leaf was hurriedly opened, and it was written by Xiao Ding biting his finger.

The three words "King Han Rong" were written on the strip of cloth, and Liu Ye guessed that it was carried out by the Han family and King Rong, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, Zhong Er had already followed the mark left by Liu Ye.

He took a few of his subordinates, understood the situation, and waved his hand forward, and several of his subordinates jumped out like arrows, and soon disappeared in front of them.

After a while, a man returned, saying that he had found a group of centaurs in a dense forest ahead, and they were suspected to be the people they were looking for.

Tadaji consulted Yanagi Ye for advice and decided to follow them first, not to startle the snake, and the other party had the advantage in numbers.

So Zhongji and the others returned, and chased in the direction where the previous person had marked, Zhongji asked Liu Ye to go to the city gate and wait for the prince and his party to ask for help, where did Liu Ye agree, Zhongji had to send another man.

Just before the prince's convoy entered the city, Tadaji's men successfully entered the convoy and found Aoki, and when the situation was reported, the tracking of Tadaji and Yanagiha and others also arrived at the location.

It was a cottage built on a slightly flat part of the valley, shaped like a cottage, with a high wall and a stone wall, and two sentry posts a hundred meters outside the wall.

Liu Ye and the others observed the mountain villa in the distance through the night and the dense forest, frowning. Not only is this place easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also easy to spot even when you get close.

The surrounding mountains are all tethered with hounds, and countless torches are lit at the entrance of the villa, just like day.

Zhongji frowned, in this case, he can only guarantee that he will not be discovered when he goes in, and he can't guarantee the others.

It would be nice if the shadow was there.

"Zhongji, you go first to find out the situation and take a look secretly." Liu Ye lowered his voice very solemnly and said, "If they are being tortured... If it is not life-threatening, do not expose it for the time being. If... Miss, they may be humiliated..."

She squeezed Tadaji's hand hard and shoved a few wrapped flying needles into his hand. Tadaji understands that flying needles are poisonous, and skin injuries can be cured, and if the women are humiliated, no one may be able to save them, so at that time they must take action.

Zhongji nodded, and Liu Ye grabbed him: "You have to come back safely, too!" ”

Tadaji's heart warmed, and he gestured to the subordinates beside him.

Liu Ye didn't know, that meant, if I can't come back, I'll swear to protect this woman to the death!
