Chapter 41: Night Walk in the Mountains
The long stars are in the sky, and a rare glimmer of light crosses through the night sky as dark as the Stygian Sea, as if the seed of a disaster has clearly fallen to this stormy country.
Yanguo, Nanshan
It was late at night, and the wind in the mountains was very cold, blowing on everyone's chest, as cold as Murong Chui's heart at this time. They were tired, but they didn't dare to sleep, and they forced themselves to move slowly in the dark, because time is a weapon of escape, and they could not sit still.
"Shizi, where are we going?" Ding Ruosu followed behind Murong Ling and couldn't help but ask.
Murong Ling didn't make it clear to her, so he had to let her wear this stinky beggar clothes, and now she can't even ride a horse, the road in this mountain is so difficult to walk, she has been knocked by stones several times.
She frowned tightly, and patted the clothes on her body in disgust, this beggar's clothes were dirty and smelly, she really didn't know what Murong Ling brought these clothes for, and now she wanted her to wear them, she only felt itchy and uncomfortable.
"You don't care, just follow us." Murong Ling said angrily.
He understands her, at this time, she must still be paying attention to this and that, she is used to the life of a princess, and it is difficult to let her return to the ordinary.
"These clothes are dirty! When are we going to change this outfit? ”
If it weren't for the cold wind in the mountains, she would have changed this outfit.
When Murong Ling heard this, he immediately frowned, and he couldn't hold back his seizure.
King Wu Murong walked in front, as if he hadn't heard the princess's complaints, otherwise he would definitely scold him.
"Sister-in-law, what a crisis is this, you still hate this and that, don't dress up as beggars, how can we get into Yecheng!"
Murong Bao couldn't help but say unaccustomed to it, his life is at stake, do you still want to wear it.
The eldest brother took the Ding family, it was really troublesome, I just hoped that when she entered Yecheng, she didn't want to be bad.
"Yecheng?!"
When Ding Ruosu heard the word Yecheng, she felt her head explode, she heard it right, they just escaped from Yecheng today.
Now go back, go to Yecheng, what is the difference between this and suicide?
It's better not to escape, if she knew it, she wouldn't have assisted him in planning all this.
"Shizi, we can't go back to Yecheng, the court is looking for us, and if we go back, it's equivalent to death!"
Murong Ling stopped and looked at her coldly, "If you don't go to Yecheng, where are you going?" ”
"Are you okay with the level ahead?"
Where did Ding Ruosu think about it so much, she was already scared to death when she only heard the word "Yecheng".
Not to mention that the court's pursuers are ruthless, even if the Queen Mother catches her, she will have to die for a lifetime!
She betrayed the Queen Mother, and with the Queen Mother's ruthlessness, she will not let her go!
"I don't want to go back, Ling, you can think of another way."
As she spoke, Ding Ruosu immediately stopped, she grabbed the corner of Murong Ling's clothes, and pleaded softly.
Who knew that Murong Ling shook off her hand and said coldly, "Then don't go, just in this deep mountain and old forest, waiting to be taken away by wild beasts." ”
"Kugou, let's keep walking, leave her alone."
"Oh."
Murong Bao looked back at Ding Ruosu, who was walking at the back, did not speak again, and continued to move forward with the footsteps of his eldest brother.
Sure enough, women are troublesome, but fortunately I didn't bring Mrs. Zhao, otherwise they would have dragged them down more!
Ding Ruosu was only stunned in place for a while, and when she reacted again, Murong Ling had already walked forward and didn't care about her at all.
The night wind in the mountains blew whirring, and the low, trembling sound seemed to wake up all the sleeping beasts, and came from afar, and gradually seemed to roar, and she was terrified to hear it.
"Shizi, you wait for me!"
Ding Ruosu didn't dare to think about it anymore, and didn't care about the smell on his body, so he hurriedly chased forward.
It's just that now it's dark, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, she can't walk fast at all, and seeing the figure in front of her getting more and more blurred, as if at the next corner, it will disappear into the jungle, and she can't help crying.
"Order!"
"Don't leave me behind!"
Soon, she was lost in the dark.
"Order!"
"I'm so scared! Where are you? ”
The darkness was like an endless echo, deepening her fear.
"Big brother, it seems that my sister-in-law hasn't caught up yet."
The eldest brother was angry just now, he didn't dare to persuade him, but he had also walked a long way, and it seemed that he hadn't seen Ding Ruosu.
When Murong Ling heard this, his heart tightened, and he immediately stopped, he subconsciously looked back, where could he still see the figure of the woman in the dark.
At this time, his heart suddenly panicked, it was him who was not good, and he shouldn't have left her alone at this time.
This mountain road is difficult to walk, where can she distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, if she falls down the steep slope, if she is really attacked by wild beasts, he can't even think about it, only deeper and deeper self-blame.
"Father, you wait, I'll go find Ding."
When Murong Chui saw his son's nervous expression, he hurriedly said, "Go quickly, we will wait for you here." ”
Murong Ling was about to hurriedly walk back, but Murong Kai suddenly grabbed him and said, "Shizi, make a mark along the way, just in case." ”
Murong Ling nodded at him.
"Ruosu!"
"Ruosu!"
He didn't dare to shout too loudly, for fear of revealing his whereabouts, and for fear of alarming the beasts in the mountains, but he was even more afraid, she couldn't hear him.
The mountains were big, the jungle was big, and apart from his own shouts, there was only the sound of a fierce wind blowing in his ears.
She must be very afraid, she is so afraid of the dark.
He still remembered that when he was busy with official business, she had to hold the lamp before she dared to sleep.
Ruosu, where are you?
Ding Ruosu sat on the cold mountain ground, rubbing her ankles constantly, without Murong Ling to lead the way for her, she was either tripped by branches or stones several times, she didn't dare to walk around, she was afraid that she would go farther and farther away from their direction in the dark night.
After thinking about it, she decided to stop and wait for Murong Ling to look for her.
He, will he come?
At this critical moment of escaping, will he still turn back to her?
When she stopped, she became even more frightened, and every hula of the wind blowing the branches would startle her, for fear that it was the wild beasts of the mountains that had moved.
"Ruosu!"
"Ruosu!"
She vaguely heard Murong Ling's familiar voice, and her heart suddenly moved, and she stood up suddenly.
"Shizi!"
"Shizi! I am here! ”
Murong Ling seemed to hear Ding Ruosu's voice, and immediately stopped, he held his breath and pricked up his ears, and quickly identified the direction of the voice.
When he ran over and saw her thin and helpless figure sitting on the ground, his heart seemed to soften for a moment.
"Ruosu, I'm here." His voice was soft, just like the ear and sideburns that had been grinding.
Ding Ruosu turned her head suddenly, and saw his familiar figure again in the dark night, she stumbled into his arms, the familiar warmth of his body was the warmth she wanted to rely on most now.
"Shizi, don't leave me, okay!"
"It's me who is bad, it's me who shouldn't kill you."
At this moment, he hugged her tightly.
The cold wind blew him awake, and it turned out that he was still afraid that one day he would lose her.
"Actually, you still care about me, don't you?"
She looked at his familiar face, and in the darkness her eyes could still trace his handsome outline, like countless nights in the same bed.
Murong Ling held her forward tightly, did not answer, and then used indifference as armor, but he was just imprisoning his affection.
Concubine Duan Yuan saw the figure of Murong Ling and the two coming back, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and finally let go of her hanging heart.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
She stepped forward and helped Ding Ruosu, for fear that the prince would get angry at this time.
Murong Bao looked at his father with a tense face, and he didn't dare to make a sound, after all, this Ding Ruosu had brought them a lot of trouble.
"Let's keep walking."
Murong Chui glanced at Ding Ruosu, he was dissatisfied in his heart, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart, after all, it was the end of the road, and he didn't want his son to be difficult.
After all, they are no longer in the Wu Palace.
"We must enter Yecheng from Nanshan before dawn and find another hiding place."
