Chapter 36: The Silver Mask
"Back to Your Highness, the slave will ride a little, but... But not proficient. ”
"Just don't fall!" Mu Lingzhi asked the copper coin to lead her a jujube red horse, and watched her pout her ass and carefully climb onto the horse's back, her brows twisted slightly.
But at this time, he didn't care too much, he raised his horsewhip high, and the man who took the lead led the crowd away.
Mu Lingzhi has always been reluctant to return to Beijing to listen to his father's accusations because of the killing of Qi Guo and the princess, coupled with the emotional entanglement with Mu Ziyue, which made him depressed and unwilling to return to the Eastern Capital. Now, once he decides to go back and face everything, he can't wait to fly back to the Eastern Capital immediately.
A group of people and horses rushed to the eastern capital day and night, except for the time of eating and drinking Lazar, the rest of the time were in a hurry, and they could reach the eastern capital in a few days, and in the evening, Mu Lingzhi finally stopped at the door of the largest inn in Guyu Town, the auspicious inn, and let the tired people stay and rest for a night.
Yu Ruyan's thigh was ground out of blood by the saddle, and she gritted her teeth and endured it. Mu Lingzhi's face was ugly all the way, she didn't dare to say anything in pain, at this time, no one would provoke him.
Seeing that Mu Lingzhi was finally willing to stop and rest, everyone was silently relieved in their hearts, and they followed one by one to dismount and enter the store.
Yu Ruyan struggled for a long time before she could bear the pain and slide off the horse's back, her legs were numb to the point of pain, and she couldn't move half a step. She was not good at equestrianism, and she relied on her desperate gritted teeth to endure this gallop, but now she suddenly stopped, and she found that her legs were almost wasted, and every time she moved, her heart hurt.
Inside the inn, copper coins have been used to set up meals for the store. Mu Lingzhi's eyes drifted through the door, and when he saw the pale Yu Ruyan dragging his legs in with difficulty, his pants were stained with blood, he frowned, his eyes turned slightly, and he turned around and gently commanded the copper coin.
Hearing this, Tong Qian glanced back at the dusty, pitiful Yu Ruyan, and nodded in response. stepped forward and said to her: "Xiaoqing, you go to the guest room to rest first, and I will ask the store to deliver the food to the room." ”
Tong Qian helped her move her things to Mu Lingzhi's room together, and told her that there were not enough rooms in the inn, so she could only lay the floor in Mu Lingzhi's room······
She was so tired that she didn't want to speak, and now she would be happy to let her sleep in the stable, let her sleep in the stable.
The bathtub at the inn was already filled with hot bath water, and she didn't have time to eat, so she threw herself into the water······
The warm water relieved her whole body of soreness, and when she was halfway through washing, she fell asleep leaning back in the tub from exhaustion.
The east window opened slightly, and a black figure floated in like a ghost. The silver mask on his face was like the blade in his hand, shining with cold light, and the hatred in his bloodthirsty eyes was clear at a glance.
Approaching the bathtub step by step, the sharp blade in his hand was about to stab down, and the person under the mask was slightly stunned, looking at the person in the tub in confusion.
How is it a woman?
The eyes as deep as Gu Tan flashed with cold light, as long as it was his people, they would all die!
The poison-quenching blade in his hand swung down again, and the person in the bathtub did not notice the danger around him at all, and turned around comfortably······
The blade paused in mid-air again, and the masked man looked at Yu Ruyan's exposed wrist in horror, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
How can it be? How could she be here? Isn't she dead?
