Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Crisis of the Locust Grove
"Now that you have made your choice, I would like to wish you a helping hand, now that it is March, it is time for my agreement with Old Madam Qin to be fulfilled. Let me take the lead for you, go to the capital first to find out the news, and you won't be constrained by not knowing the situation when you go back. ”
Ye Fuyun rubbed Mu Xi's head and said, "How can I rest assured that you will go into danger, you will wait for me here, and I will send someone to pick you up after I arrange everything." ”
Mu Xi took his hand and said righteously: "How can I be too weak compared to you, if I can't help you, I will only become a burden to you, and now, I can't be alone, don't think about pushing me away, don't worry, I still have the ability to protect myself." ”
Ye Fuyun also had to admit that if he wanted to compete for the throne in the future, he would be prepared to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed, if the people he cared about the most needed his protection all the time, I was afraid that he would not have time to take care of it at that time, and he would be used by someone with a heart, and he was afraid that he would fall short. Taking advantage of the fact that it is good to let Mu Xi experience and experience now, Ye Fuyun did not say anything against it again, but just advised: "You must not be radical, everything is based on your own safety, you must know that I can't lose you, so I must be good for me, and I can't be hurt at all, you know?" ”
Mu Xi nodded very seriously and said, "Well, for you, I will definitely wait for you in the capital city safely." ”
The night clouds hugged her into her arms, and the two of them didn't say anything again, enjoying a short period of warmth.
After a few days of preparation, no matter how reluctant he was, Mu Xi finally said goodbye to the night clouds and set foot on the road to the capital. There is Ye Mingqin and a few guards in the bright to protect, and in the secret there is the protection of Sicheng and others, Mu Xi is going to the capital, and the night clouds are also relieved. The only thing I was worried about was that she was afraid that she would be calculated by the people of the capital, which was a tomb, and how many people had died under its prosperous appearance, and the people there had long lost their hearts, just a walking corpse driven by power.
His Xi'er is so clean and simple, if he can, he would like to give her a carefree life for the rest of her life.
Sitting in the carriage and feeling the bumps and shaking of the carriage, he lifted the window curtain and looked at Yunxi City that was gradually moving away, but Mu Xi still refused to withdraw his gaze. What to do, she has just left, she has already begun to miss the night clouds, this parting, goodbye will take some time, it seems that this time she will suffer from the taste of lovesickness.
March in the Northern Desert is still a little cold, and the trees on the side of the road have not yet seen new shoots, and the journey looks a little desolate and boring. Mu Xi sat bored in the carriage, with the bump of the carriage, her upper and lower eyelids fought, and she fell asleep on the cushion.
Ye Mingqin is also a master who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and along the way told the guards who drove the car to slow down and not to go to places with serious potholes. The guard promised in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart: How could this King Qin be so considerate to Miss Mu? Miss Mu is the person on the tip of their master's heart, and she may be their princess in the future, King Qin's move is really suspicious, he has to watch the princess for his master, and he can't let King Qin rob the princess.
Ye Mingqin, who was riding a horse and following closely on the side of the carriage, didn't know the guard's thoughts, his mind was all on the people in the carriage, and at this time, he felt the breathing coming from the carriage slowly and evenly, and he expected Mu Xi to fall asleep, and smiled, and the pampering in his eyes was so soft that he couldn't get rid of it.
It's not that he can't feel that the relationship between Ye Fuyun and Mu Xi is extraordinary, it's just a preconceived notion that since he first saw Mu Xi, he has been incorrigibly fond of her. She is intelligent, merciful and kind, not like a pretentious woman looking for conventional rules, she is generous and has a true temperament. I paid more attention to it, and when I woke up, I found that my heart had sunk, and it was impossible to take it back.
Even if he can only look at her from a distance like this in this life, he feels that he is also happy, and he is willing to guard her from afar for the rest of his life, just like now, when she is sleeping soundly in the car, he is guarding her outside the car.
The official road to the next town is interrupted in a locust forest, which is the only way to go if you want to continue. The guard who was driving the carriage stopped the carriage and listened attentively, cautiously observing the situation in the woods.
Although the woods are quiet and nothing unusual, it is just too quiet to make people a little uneasy. Ye Mingqin also cheered up. The seemingly ordinary woods give people a weird feeling at this moment, Ye Mingqin said in a low voice: "This king goes in and has a look, you protect Miss Mu." ”
The guard stopped him and said, "Let's go, it's better for His Royal Highness King Qin to guard the carriage." ”
After all, he is a prince and has a noble status, how dare ordinary people like them let him take risks. Ye Mingqin shook his head and said, "It's better for this king to go in and explore, you can rest assured, rest assured that you will wait for this king to come back here." ”
So saying, he drove his horse into the locust forest. As soon as he entered the locust forest, a chill came to his face, and Ye Mingqin was excited, and his eyes swept across the entire forest like an eagle.
The dry branches of the trees were intertwined, obscuring the sky and the sun, and only a little sunlight filtered in through the cracks. It's so quiet, even if it's warm and cold in March, there are always a few birds, or else, a small animal can be fine, but there is nothing, which is a bit unusual.
Suddenly, a gust of wind struck, and Ye Mingqin, who had been prepared, jumped up from his horse, his clothes fluttered to the ground, and when he raised his eyes, a man in white had already appeared in front of him standing in the forest.
This white-clothed man dragged his long skirt to the ground, a wide ribbon was tied around his slender waist, and his eyebrows and apricot eyes were all hidden in the white veil, unable to peek into his true face, and the chill emanating from her body was comparable to the severe cold of Sanjiu, Ye Mingqin couldn't help but tremble.
On such a cold day, dressed so flutteringly, the internal strength is not comparable to ordinary people, Ye Mingqin probably estimated it, just because she appeared in front of her out of nowhere, her internal strength should be above herself, and the winner or loser is in her heart.
"His Royal Highness King Qin should also see it, you are not my opponent, the road to the capital is ahead, I have no intention of offending His Highness, Your Highness cherishes all the way."
The woman's voice was as cold as her people. She understood very clearly, he could go over, but not the carriage behind. Who is going to be bad for Mu Xi? She was no threat to anyone, so why would anyone want to get rid of her?
Treating the plague of the people of Yunxi City goes against the original intention of the father, but this is not like the father's handwriting, so who could it be?
Ye Mingqin said without flinching: "Who gave you the courage to provoke this king so much? Do you want to be the enemy of the entire Nightfall Nation? ”
The woman sneered and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin has to think about it, don't regret not leaving at this time." No matter what your life or death is, what happened here today, there will be people who will carry the black pot. ”
