Chapter 18: Whereabouts Leaked
As the lights come on, the streets are gradually becoming less crowded, many of the vendors have closed their stalls, and the rows of shops have closed their doors, except for the lanterns hanging high outside the shops swaying from side to side at night.
Mu Yunqi woke up in the room and was dark, and his hands were sore. By the light that came in through the lattice, she got up and walked to the couch to call out to the man on the couch.
"It's time to go."
Gong Ran got up, shook his head, and said lazily: "Why did I sleep so deeply?" Then he got up, walked to the window, and pushed the sash open.
He looked around under the window, nodded his head, and jumped over the window on the roof tiles.
Mu Yunqi followed closely behind, and jumped into the open space in the courtyard with a light drop on the eaves.
The silence around was terrifying, and there was an unusual calm in the air.
Gong Ran stopped Mu Yunqi's body in front of him, closed his eyes and listened.
The back door of the courtyard suddenly opened, several armored men stepped in, and rows of secret guards on the eaves surged up under the night, surrounding the courtyard layer by layer.
"Damn." Gong Ran cursed secretly, annoyed at his negligence, he didn't even notice such a big battle.
The armored man at the door gave way sideways, and a black brocade man walked in from the crowd, his cold and unparalleled face exuding coldness and terrifyingness.
He looked at the woman in the courtyard, stretched out his hand to her, and said in a calm tone, "Come here." ”
Mu Yunqi's eyes drooped lightly, his expression was solemn, and after a while, he raised his eyes and shook his head at him and said, "I can't go back with you." ”
She looked sideways at Gong Ran and whispered, "Are you sure?" ”
Gong Ran nodded, then pulled out the soft sword on his waist and jumped onto the eaves with a wave of his hand, fighting fiercely with the secret guards on the house.
Gu Hanxuan stared at Mu Yunqi, as if he wanted to see her through, his eyes faintly revealing pain.
"Bring the queen here." He commanded coldly, and then said, "Don't hurt her." ”
The guards around her slowly moved closer to her, and she jumped up to the eaves and fought with the guards on the house.
For a while, the originally silent night was now filled with swords and swords, and the sound of fists and feet resounding through the night sky.
Mu Yunqi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Gong Ran was so skilled, the secret guards with high martial arts poured a batch and then came up, he was at ease and could deal with it easily.
A masked man suddenly fell in the night, he flew briskly to Mu Yunqi's side, looked at Gong Ran and nodded, hugged her and flew over the eaves, and disappeared into the night.
Gu Hanxuan looked at the man who took her away in anger and flew after her.
Gong Ran threw a cigarette bomb in his hand, and a thick smoke rose everywhere, blocking his body and blocking everyone's sight.
When the smoke cleared, the scattered dark guards looked at each other, and their hearts were terrified.
Gu Hanxuan was furious, and immediately ordered all the city gates to be blocked, strictly investigated from house to house, and all suspicious people were taken away.
She was actually taken away from under his eyes, or a man took her away, and the thought of this burned his heart with jealousy, and his internal organs were devoured.
In the cold forest, the trees are bare and leafless, and only the branches are rustled by the wind, which makes people's hearts flutter.
"How did the palace master know that we were here?" Mu Yunqi looked at him, although it was pitch black, she could still keenly catch his face looking at her, sobbing and smiling.
"Yun Yin is so smart, how do you know it's me?" He smiled back and took off his mask.
"Gong Ran can let people take me, and there will be no one else but you." She said softly.
"Right now, you have to take a detour from the mountains to the border." He said solemnly, not answering her.
"I know."
Gong Huan was stunned, looked back at her, the hazy moonlight poured into the forest, he looked at her face through the faint moonlight, and couldn't help but remember that it was the same in the woods on the day he first met her, she seemed to have been so calm and unhurried, and she didn't panic.
"The forest will be searched tonight, and we must hide in the mountains as soon as possible." He said solemnly, his face slightly darkened.
"Okay." She smiled and said lightly.
The two shuttled through the forest, the night sky fluttering and falling snowflakes, and the originally difficult mountain road was now even more rugged. The snow fell one after another, and the snow piled up again, and the two of them were covered with snowflakes, and their bodies were gradually cold.
Mu Yunqi's steps were slowly difficult, and he felt a little powerless.
Gong Huan took her hand, held her slender hand with warm big hands, and led her all the way forward. He pulled her the same way that day, and she followed him like this.
"Gong Huan, you saved me again." She said, looking at his back.
Gong Huan didn't look back, pulling her all the way up the mountain, until the top of the mountain was faintly visible, and then he paid attention to the nearby cave.
"You're here, I'll pick up some usable branches." He stuffed Mu Yunqi under the wall rock, and now this was the only place where he could shelter from the wind and snow.
Mu Yunqi took his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't, don't go." ”
He looked back at her squatting face with her head bowed.
"Where can you use branches in winter? It's snowing big right now, if you..."She didn't know how to say it, but she was worried anyway.
He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, squatted down to look at her and said, "Don't be afraid, I will be back soon." After saying that, he untied the big scarf on her body, and walked straight into the distance.
Mu Yunqi squatted under the wall rock, although she was wrapped in a big body, she was still shivering with cold, the hours passed little by little, she looked into the distance uneasily, desperately longing for the figure to appear.
The snowflakes are falling bigger and bigger, and the sound of whirring wind is emitted in the air, making the surroundings look particularly deep and terrifying.
She was already anxious in her heart, and got up and walked in the direction where Gong Huan had left.
The moonlight in the night sky shone on the top of the mountain, illuminating the night and brightening her path.
"How did you get out?" He asked, holding some fallen branches in his hand, looking at her and frowning.
She walked up to him and said with some grievances: "I'm afraid you'll be taken away by wolves......"
After hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle, his heart was warm like a warm breeze, and he said helplessly: "I just found a cave, let's go." ”
He pulled her up and walked forward, but the smile on his lips could not be hidden, as if he did not realize that he was secretly happy in his heart at the moment.
The cave was very small, and there were a lot of dead trees in it, so I think he had just picked it up in the cave. He took out the fire fold from his bosom and quickly raised the fire.
"Will the fire be discovered?" She asked, sitting down at the fire.
"The moon is bright outside, and there are trees to hide the cave." He sat down next to her and said.
She couldn't help laughing, and said, "Last time I avoided you in the cave, too..." she suddenly didn't speak, swallowed what she was going to say later, and looked at the fire in a daze.
Gong Huan wanted to listen carefully, but for some reason, he saw that she suddenly kept silent, pretending not to care, and asked, "Why don't you say it?" He looked at her sideways, a charming smile on his lips, and her figure reflected in his eyes.
She sighed as she looked at the fire, then lifted her face, "Thank you." She said it with great sincerity.
Gong Huan still looked at her with a smile, "But it's still cold?" ”
She shook her head.
"Let's go when the snow stops."
"Okay." Mu Yunqi replied, leaning against the wall stone and closing his eyes.
The wind and snow were all over the night, and the overwhelming snow covered the entire mountain, and between the heaven and the earth, only a white expanse came into view.
"What now?" Mu Yunqi looked at the snowflakes falling from the entrance of the cave.
Gong Huan glanced at her and said, "Let's go, you can't be trapped here all the time." ”
Mu Yunqi followed him and walked out of the cave.
The cold wind blew over, blowing her green hair in the air, she put on a bucket hat, and put her hand into Gong Huan's outstretched palm, his fingers were lightly clenched, and his palm was as warm as a furnace.
Walking out of the dense woods, there were no big trees around to block the wind, Gong Huan untied the big shackle on his body and tied it to Mu Yunqi, but when he turned around, he saw her staring ahead, her expression was solemn, she looked at her gaze, her heart flashed, and then she fixed her eyes.
A snow leopard rolls in the snow, clutching the snow in its hands, as if foraging for food in the snow.
Mu Yunqi's eyes turned, as if he was looking at a place to hide.
"Do you think you can dodge from it?" Seeing her posture, Gong Huan asked suspiciously.
Mu Yunqi raised a smile: "It's impossible." ”
The corners of Gong Huan's mouth twitched, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "After you go to the big stone over there, I can handle it." He smiled at her.
"If you can't handle it, I'll go out of my own way."
When the snow leopard heard the sound, his black eyes like spars stared at him, and he slowly approached with his legs, for fear of startling the two of them.
Mu Yunqi stared at the things that were getting closer, and was pushed out a few feet away by Gong Huan.
The snow leopard jumped up and pounced on the man in the snow, who flashed behind it and kicked it to fight in the snow.
Mu Yunqi saw that he was swaying freely and easily ambushed the snow leopard to the ground, so he sat in the snow with his back against the boulder, looked ahead, and ignored it.
After a fierce battle, Gong Huan pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed it into the side neck of the snow leopard, blood sprayed on the white snow, shocking red, the huge thing let out a roar and scream, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell to the snow, and the blood infected the surrounding snow.
He just glanced at the edge of the stone, and when he saw the woman treating it indifferently, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, whether she believed too much in her own skills and could sit so calmly and enjoy the snow.
The blood of the snow leopard was splattered on his white clothes, much to his displeasure.
There was no movement behind her, and the woman looked back and chuckled, getting up to wipe the snow off her skirt.
"The palace master is really extraordinary, and the little woman admires it." She arched her hand, her face bright and moving.
Gong Huan glanced at her with a smile and pulled her to run briskly. "There will be snow leopards nearby, and if a group comes, you and I will have to be buried here forever." His clear voice fluttered from the wind into Mu Yunqi's ears, making her not feel afraid at all.
Vast snow-capped mountains, endless snow, the figures of the two quickly from the snow all the way forward, the wind occasionally waved a few beautiful laughter, the air diffuse cold, leaving an earth-shattering beauty. If in a few years, this scene will be infinitely amazing, infinitely embarrassing and regretful.
