Rong Yan, who had done something bad, returned to her tent, quickly fetched a basin of water, wiped her face, and quickly took off her dirty skirt. Stuffed into a corner of the tent, it was simply stinking, and when I raised my hand and smelled my arm, I always felt that the smell was unpleasant.

The water source in the desert is particularly precious, and Li Jiu can still take out a pot of water for her to practice at this time, which is simply a great grace.

I don't know why, the first word that Rong Yan thought of turned out to be...... Grace.

Phew, Rong Yan took a sip of herself, you are a person with no potential, what are all you thinking of in your head?

After taking the time to scrub the filth on her face and arms, Rong Yan sat on the mat and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead.

If someone else finds out that he used to be a little maid in the palace of the Great Qi Kingdom, it doesn't matter, but if that person finds out his true identity. That's a real big deal.

Especially the person who had just talked to Li Jiu, Rong Yan couldn't help frowning deeply when she thought of this, although she hid herself under the horse's belly at that critical moment, but ...... He still saw a side face of the man with great certainty, however, just such a side face, he already knew...... This person is actually ...... Which one once had a relationship with Li Xi in the lamp market.

It's the prodigal son from the frontier!

However, it wasn't just this that made Rong Yan even more nervous. And the important thing is that this prince from the frontier has seen his true face!

Thinking of this, Rong Yan's brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper.

couldn't help but hold his cheeks, squatted on the ground, and thought carefully.

The door curtain suddenly moved, and Rong Yan just thought that if it was that person who came in! Her shocked expression just fell on the eyes of the person who came, and at the same time it further confirmed the conjecture in the person's own heart.

I'm afraid that this little woman really knew her fourth brother once.

Rong Yan calmed down, and when she saw that it was him, she breathed a long sigh of relief, one hand still on her chest, and looked at him with white eyes, "Young Master Li, why didn't you break in without saying hello, I'm a girl anyway." ”

The implication is that he is disgusted that he is forcibly breaking into other girls' "boudoirs", which is really not good.

Li Jiu was not angry when he was called, but just smiled faintly, Rong Yan suddenly felt that this man had a good-looking and elegant smile, "You...... What's the matter with you? ”

"It's abrupt girl, it's not down, it's down, it's going to apologize to the girl." Li Jiu clenched his fists and apologized to her, "Miss Rong Yan, is there anything you want to tell me about tonight's events?" ”

Rong Yan didn't have the slightest guilt on her face, let alone any panicked expression, some, just infinitely calm and steady, "Yes, I was in high spirits tonight, and I really wanted to fight horses, but as a result, that horse gave me a lot of and made myself stink, that's it." She said heartlessly, one hand on her cheek, and one eye secretly aimed at him.

Li Jiu shook the fan in his hand that had not changed for thousands of years, and smiled as lightly as water, "Is that all?" Princess Rongyan? ”

The smile on Rong Yan's face was completely stiffened, like a clay statue of stone, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly slapped her forehead with her hand, "By the way, I forgot, Li Jiugongzi's hands have almost all the interpersonal relationships in the entire Central Plains, and it is really easy to find out the details of a little woman like me." She figured it out herself.

Rong Yan smiled, "Now that you know my details, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Jiu was calm this time, and sat opposite her, "Me? I'm not going to do anything. Miss Rong Yan, since you don't want others to know about your past, you must have a reason, so why should I expose your secret and let you hate me to the end? ”

Rong Yan smiled brightly and stood up, "Since this is the case, then, I have thanked Li Jiu Gongzi for a large number of adults." ”

"No thanks." Li Jiu sat on the spot and put the fan in the palm of his hand, "So, does the girl have any plans for herself?" ”

"When I get out of this busy and uninhabited desert, it is the border of Xiliang Kingdom, and I plan to do something there to make a living, and I can live happily."

Li Jiu pondered for a moment before saying, "This idea is not bad. It's a pity that in the border land of Xiliang, although there are a lot of business trips in the past, there are many people and mixed eyes, and you seem to be a foolproof strategy to hide there, but do you know that Xiliang will be convenient for the Great Qi Kingdom to start a war in the near future, this battle has been delayed for decades, it has been delayed for too long, and it will not be fooled. ”

Rong Yan sighed, thinking that another country was going to suffer the sharpness of war, the people were going to be displaced again, and all the achievements of the nation's founding would be destroyed by those artillery swords and guns, and her heart suddenly felt infinite pain and sadness, but in a thousand words, Rong Yan at this time had to turn into an inaudible sigh.

"You're right, but I don't have any good ideas at the moment, so I can only take one step at a time." For this, she thought very openly, life is like a cluster of apple algae, where it floats, it will be where to set up camp, where to settle down, that is.

Li Jiu looked at her contemplatively. The uninhibited side face, something in his heart seemed to suddenly bloom in an instant, giving him an unprecedented feeling, so fresh, so different.

"Well, since the girl herself doesn't have a foolproof plan, it is better to ...... Just give birth to me for the time being, and wait for the edge of the desert, I still have some friends in Xiliang, and I still have the ability to find a quiet place without war. ”

Rong Yan looked at him in surprise, thinking to herself, he had already exposed his lineage, but she didn't want to expose his details, he called the prince of Xiliang Li Shi the fourth brother, so wouldn't his identity also be revealed?

What's more, the names of the two brothers are so similar that people can't think of them together.

Li Shi, Li Jiu.

Hehe, the fathers of these two people really seem to be the same person, otherwise who else would have thought of giving their son such a meaningful name?

Rong Yan looked at his face without the slightest ill intention, and that sincere expression, and finally nodded, "Okay, but I still want to ask Mr. Li Jiu to keep this secret for me for the time being." ”

"Oh? So, you met my fourth brother? Li Jiu's eyes flashed with a little unnatural light.

Rong Yan sighed again, "Sort of, but it's really inconvenient for the two of us to see each other now." ”

Li Jiu didn't ask any more questions, and left.

Rong Yan stayed in Li Jiu's queue until the day she walked out of the desert, Rong Yan packed up her small baggage and came to Li Jiu's tent, she looked up at the sky, there were a few large clouds in the sky, covering the entire night sky, such a night, the most suitable for saying goodbye and never seeing each other again.

She made up her mind, put the burden on her back, stood outside his tent and said, "Young Master Li Jiu, are you sleeping?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiu opened the curtain, and the clothes on his body were still intact, obviously still not sleeping, because he himself knew that they would be able to leave the desert tomorrow, that is, on the day of the breakup agreed between him and her.

"Not yet, can't Miss Rong Yan sleep?"

Rong Yan looked at his handsome face under the moon, and her heart moved slightly, thinking that God couldn't bear to let him live a happy and happy fairy life, only to let him fall into the whirlpool of this court, it was really pitiful!

She shook her head, "It's not that I can't sleep, but ...... I want to say goodbye to you. ”

Li Jiu looked at his own shadow on the ground, slightly stunned, and seemed to smile bitterly, "Yes, tomorrow will be the day to get out of the desert." Deserve to say goodbye. ”

Rong Yan nodded, "That's right, where can there be no banquet in life?" Don't today, don't tomorrow, sooner or later, it's just another word. The mountains are high and the waters are wide, the green mountains do not change, and the green water flows for a long time. Li Jiugongzi, we will have a period later, tomorrow before dawn, I will leave, please take care. She finished speaking by herself, and even she didn't know why she was talking so fast, so neatly, as if she couldn't look at him more. After finishing speaking, he stared at his toes for a while, turned around, hugged his fist at Li Jiu, and left.

I walked a little faster than when I came.

When she came, she was still hesitating whether her goodbye tonight was really good enough. But tomorrow's parting was imminent, and she had been cared for by him for many days, and if she had gone away like this, it would have been ......

Inexcusable.

Yes, I can't say that.

Well, that's the truth. Rong Yan finally found a high-sounding reason for herself, and her heart was very comfortable. After I went back, I had a good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the red sun on the edge of the sky was still hanging in the clouds, Rong Yan had already stepped on the pony prepared in advance, and the terrain here was already able to ride a horse. After walking a few dozen meters away, she turned around and saw that the light green tents behind her were still sleeping in the dawn, and her heart warmed.

Sideways on the pony's back and continue westward.

In the dawn, she walked alone on the glorious desert, watching the sky getting darker, and the shadow of a person suddenly appeared in her heart. She looked at the horizon and muttered to herself.

"Will such a beautiful scenery be stained with blood by the handle of the knife?" She sighed lowly. Glancing towards the location to the north.

Once again, I asked myself in my heart.

"Wei Sa, has it been that even people like you have become murderous when they ascend to the Great Treasure?"
