Xue Hua has managed this Dingyuan city very well, coupled with the cooperation of the people, many industries have gradually become vibrant, and Qian Qianqian's improved bud seeds have also made some progress, and the growth is much better than before.

Qian Qianqian's confidence increased greatly, and just as she was concentrating on researching new seeds, news came from outside, saying that Aunt Liu in Lianzhou City was seriously ill and was dying.

"This Aunt Liu is not young, her body is not good, and now she is sick, it is normal, Miss Qian, don't worry, everyone has their own creation."

Xue Yi saw that Qian Qianqian was sitting still, and knew that Qian Qianqian must be anxious and worried about Aunt Liu's affairs, so she stepped forward to comfort her, but Qian Qianqian didn't listen to it at all.

"Aunt Liu has a great kindness to our family, if it weren't for Aunt Liu and Brother Liu Han, our family would have starved to death, even so, I have to rush back to see her off for the last time."

Qian Qianqian packed up her things, her face was full of gloom, and her brows were twisted into a dead knot.

"This Xiao country is at war right now, and it's not peaceful outside, if you go back to Lianzhou at this time, it's inconvenient not to mention, there are still many dangers, it's really not a good choice."

Xue Yi followed Qian Qianqian closely and reminded cautiously, her expression becoming solemn.

"I know what you said, but I still can't, if I can't send Aunt Liu, I won't be at ease in my life, if you don't want to go back with me, then stay here, I won't force you."

Qian Qianqian said categorically, she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, even if she knows that she may not be able to do anything when she goes back, she can't sit idly by and ignore this matter.

"Even if the Liu family is kind to you, you helped them so much before, Liu Han was also sent back to Lianzhou by you, you have done so much for them, it is enough to repay them, why do you have to risk your life like this?"

Xue Yi is also very helpless, when she meets such a loving and righteous master, sometimes it is really not a good thing.

"I can't repay them for their kindness to me in my life, the hour is not early, you get out of the way."

Qian Qianqian was unmoved, and there was no superfluous look on her face, she lowered her eyes and was about to go out as she spoke, but Xue Yi immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Now that you have decided, the slave will escort you with you, General Xiao asked me to protect your safety, I don't dare to leave my post without permission."

Xue Yi had no choice but to agree, if Qian Qianqian was allowed to go back to Lianzhou alone, she would not be able to survive if she had three long and two short, so she might as well follow.

Qian Qianqian knew that Xue Yi would definitely agree, so she was not surprised at all, stopped, and waited for Xue Yi to arrange the carriage and leave the house.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, Xue Hua hurried over, he suddenly learned the news that Qian Qianqian was leaving, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.

"Miss Qian, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't report it as soon as possible, so that the last general would be able to make arrangements. ”

Xue Hua got off the horse, gasping slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

"The matter is urgent, I also made a temporary decision, I don't have time to inform you, after I leave, this Dingyuan City will be handed over to you, you must take care of it, don't make mistakes."

Qian Qianqian turned her head, looked at Xue Hua, and said lightly, fortunately, the plague in this city has been lifted, and there is no major event for the time being, Xue Hua should be fine alone.

"Don't worry, the last general will not be dishonored, but you are going to Lianzhou, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and if you can't meet any bandits, let these soldiers escort you back."

Xue Hua brought a lot of people, all of whom came to protect Qian Qianqian, and if he had to go such a long way, he couldn't just rely on the guards of the General's Mansion.

"Then thank you, General."

Qian Qianqian didn't refuse, Xue Hua was thoughtful, she didn't have much to ask, safety is the most important thing now, she didn't want to see Aunt Liu yet, she would die.

Xue Hua personally sent Qian Qianqian out of Dingyuan City, and saw that Qian Qianqian and his party had gone away, so he rode around and walked back.

Qian Qianqian sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain from time to time to look at the situation outside, this field is really overgrown with wild grasses, just like the current Xiao Guo, these weeds must be cut down in order to produce crops.

The carriage ran very fast, Xue Yi knew that Qian Qianqian was in a hurry, so she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and those soldiers followed all the way and ran into the night, already sleepy and tired.

"Miss Qian, Boss Mu wrote to say that he has found the best doctor for Aunt Liu, and he will try his best to stabilize Aunt Liu'er's condition, don't worry too much, don't worry about it."

Xue Yi unscrewed the water bag in her hand, handed it to Qian Qianqian, and comforted her on the side, Qian Qianqian hadn't eaten much all day, and her face turned a lot paler.

"I know Mu Tianyue will find a way, but I still feel that this matter is not quite right, Liu Han came to Dingyuan City before, I asked him, he said that Aunt Liu has good bones, and it has not been a few years now, why did Aunt Liu fall ill so quickly? Still so sick. ”

Qian Qianqian had been thinking about it in her heart, puzzled, her brows twisted into a dead knot, and her eyes dimmed.

"Aunt Liu is old, which is inevitable, but Liu Han's side is very quiet, and he didn't write a letter to Dingyuan City."

Xue Yi didn't care, and inadvertently mentioned this, Qian Qianqian's face sank, and her eyes were full of fierceness.

"How far are we from Dingyuan City right now?"

Qian Qianqian's words changed, and suddenly asked about this, it was dark in this forest, only a few fires had some faint light, and the soldiers were resting, but it was a little quiet.

"We've been on the road for a whole day, and we're some distance away from Dingyuan City right now, what's the matter, you want to go back?"

Xue Yi was a little puzzled, looking at Qian Qianqian's expression, she was very puzzled.

"That's not the way, I'll just ask casually, it's not early, you can rest and go, you have to continue to hurry tomorrow."

Qian Qianqian shook her head, squeezed a smile from her face, and gave a faint order, Xue Yi didn't ask any more, walked straight to the side, leaned against the tree and rested.

Somehow, Qian Qianqian vaguely felt that it should not be so easy to go to Lianzhou, and there was no telling what would happen on the way, those fine works that secretly mixed into Xiao Guo were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they would not let her go easily.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qian Qianqian and his entourage set off on time, from Dingyuan City to Lianzhou, there were many mountains, forests and wilderness along the way, and there was a small town for more than ten miles, so in this wilderness, if they encountered any danger, they died here, I am afraid no one knows.

Qian Qianqian was a little tired, the carriage was so bumpy that it was about to tear up the bones in her body, although she was used to it now, but the feeling of such a bump was still uncomfortable.

There are many roads in this mountain forest, and the roads are also barren grass and rocks, and after walking for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Qian Qianqian lifted the curtain, glanced out, and couldn't help asking.

"Miss Qian, there is a mountain road ahead, it is very narrow, and I am afraid that this carriage will not be able to pass."

Xue Yi rode outside, looked at Qian Qianqian, and reported 1510.

Qian Qianqian got out of the carriage and walked to the front, and found that this was indeed the case, in order to save time, they did not take the official road, but took the small road and took the tree-lined path, so it was inevitable that this kind of thing would happen.

"Since we can't get through it right away, then we don't want this carriage, I've seen the map, and I'm going to the next town soon, and I'll buy another carriage then."

Qian Qianqian immediately made a decision, said it neatly, her footsteps must not stop, take the official road to Lianzhou, it will take at least ten days, you can copy the path, if it goes well, you can save half of the journey.

"That's fine, you can get on the horse first."

Xue Yi nodded, freed up a horse for Qian Qianqian, and threw the carriage in place, crossing the rugged path.

The terrain here is very dangerous, there are deep valleys on both sides of the path, if you are not careful, you will fall to the bottom of the valley, no one can say what is at the bottom of the valley, maybe if you fall, you will fall to pieces, so everyone is very cautious, even the horses.

"Miss Qian, slow down."

Xue Yi has been following Qian Qianqian closely, knowing that Qian Qianqian's equestrian skills are not very proficient, so she reminded her carefully.

In fact, Qian Qianqian didn't have a bottom in her heart, she kept staring at the front, not squinting, but fortunately, the horse under her crotch was well-trained and very obedient, otherwise it would be really difficult to do.

Just when everyone was cautious, suddenly a strong wind blew, and the people were blown to stagger, and the horses were also a little frightened, and they took a few steps back.

"Miss Qian, be careful." Xue Yi suddenly shouted, pulled Qian Qianqian behind her, and a cold arrow flew in front of Qian Qianqian, and the forest suddenly became lively.

It seems that someone has already laid an ambush here, just waiting for Qian Qianqian and his party to pass by, and those soldiers are protecting Qian Qianqian, but this path is narrow, and they can't turn around in it at all, so it is very restrained.

Those people have already sealed the way out in front of them, and they are pressing step by step, if they can't find another way out, Qian Qianqian and his party will be buried here.

Xue Yi pulled out the long whip on her waist and tried her best to resist, but she still retreated again and again, and almost fell into the valley several times.

Qian Qianqian was surrounded in it, dodging left and right, but it was obvious that those people were determined to win, and after several fights, Qian Qianqian's side was at a disadvantage, and the situation was critical.

Those people were not ordinary people, and the soldiers who were protecting Qian Qianqian were scattered step by step, and Qian Qianqian was forced to the edge of the valley, only one step away, and she was about to fall into the abyss.

"Hmph, look where you're running this time."

Several black-clothed people approached step by step, their faces were covered with black scarves, but their eyes were full of murderous aura, and they waved the long knife in their hands and rushed towards Qian Qianqian.

The cold light of the blade flashed in front of Qian Qianqian's eyes, her heart suddenly hung in her throat, her body leaned back, her feet stepped into the air, and the whole person fell backwards.

"Ahh

Qian Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, and the stones under her feet fell towards the valley with her body.

"Miss Qian-" Seeing this, Xue Yi immediately rushed up, but she still didn't have time to hold her.

Qian Qianqian's body fell rapidly, the cool breeze around her was blowing, and suddenly a sharp pain came, her eyes were dark, and she suddenly lost consciousness.
