Chapter 315: Now I'll Protect You
The two rested in the mountains for a night, and after dawn they went out of the mountains and rushed to southern Xinjiang, where Ximen Zhe brought Su Ran's paintings directly to the herdsmen he had mentioned, and the nomads lived relatively scattered, so there were no other people near Fangyuan.
After the herdsman Ximen Zhetuo helped take care of Su Ranhua, he hurried back to the barracks.
Along the way, Su Dye painting has seen the environment of southern Xinjiang clearly, although the climate is mild, but this land is not fertile, the soil is barren, stony, so the plant growth is not good, even if the herdsmen live on the grassland is only sparse, there is no landscape of fertile fields and green seas,
Without plants, it is very easy to be sandy, and the southern Xinjiang is very different from the Yuehua country across the mountains.
The wind is continuous, and the flying sand and rocks have become a special scene in this southern place, comparable to the depression of Mobei,
The Qingyuan Dynasty wants to cross this barrier and obtain the fertile soil of the Yuehua Kingdom, and the Yuehua Kingdom also wants to rush over to get the rich rivers and mountains of the Qingyuan Dynasty.
Southern Xinjiang has become the first battlefield for them to compete with each other.
Su Dye painting temporarily lived on this barren grassland,
On the second day, Ximen Zhe took the opportunity to patrol the border to see Su Ran's paintings, changed into the military uniform of the Qingyuan Dynasty, and walked in front with a few people.
Su Ranhua stood at the door of the tent and looked at Ximen Zhe and smiled, although she felt that Ximen Zhe, who was carefree and idle in the past, lived a happy life, but she had to look at Ximen Zhe with admiration at this time.
This herdsman lives under the care of Ximenzhe, and occasionally becomes a foothold for Ximenzhe's patrol, and his subordinates are more familiar with it.
Simon Zhe asked the people around him to stop in the distance and approached the tent alone,
When he walked up to him, Su Ranhua obviously saw that his face was gloomy.
"What's wrong," Su Ran asked,
Ximenzhe's gaze swept over Su Ranhua's injured arm, at this time she had already freshened up and changed into herdsmen's clothes, but the cuffs were still stained with shallow blood, which should have been stained with blood from the change of dressing.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Ximen Zhe looked away and looked at Su Ran's face, "Last night I heard the news from Kyoto in Yuehua Country, the prince and concubine who were engaged to Uto were missing, you said that it was the most capable person in Yuehua Country who brought you to Yuehua Kingdom, is it Utuo, you just want to be the person who wants to be his prince and concubine, so there is a piece of skin missing from your arm, which is the tattoo you cut off with your own hands,"
Su Ranhua quietly listened to Ximen Zhe's affirmative analysis, and then smiled slightly, "Without tattoos, I am nothing,"
"Your status in Yuehua Country is not ordinary, why did you risk your life to escape, why did you take a tattoo," Ximen Zhe asked step by step, "As long as you have the engagement gift and have the tattoo of the prince and concubine belonging to Yuehua Kingdom, you will have an identity that everyone envies, it is a real position, unlike the princess of the North, no one will abuse you, you can even be the queen of Yuehua Kingdom, why do you give up these, and escape back with all the difficulty, what else is worth your nostalgia here,"
"It's not my home, I'm not comfortable living there," Su Ranhua said lightly, his right hand gently touching his left arm, "This tattoo is just a means for me to leave and confuse Utop, and I don't need it after I use it,"
"If you are obsessed with him, you can use Uto fight him to get revenge on him, why do you need to return in person and put yourself in danger again," Simon Zhe's eyes were full of incomprehension and pity,
He didn't understand what Su Ranhua thought, and he felt sorry for her giving up the good life she had, which was not just fleeing from Yuehua Kingdom, but offending Uto and losing her last protective umbrella.
"Would you like to see me have a great relationship with the enemy and appear as their queen on the battlefield where the two countries are at war," Su Ran asked.
"I don't want to treat you as an enemy," Ximen Zhe said without thinking, looking at Su Ran's painting, and said in a heavy tone, "However, I don't have the ability to give you a happy day now, so I won't hinder your happiness,"
"Happiness, you mean that I will be happy if I stay by Uto's side," Su Ran smiled lightly, "Although I have lived a very comfortable life these days, I have never felt happy, real happiness is not to look at the appearance of living a luxurious and luxurious life, in fact, it is better to be with Uto than to be happy to see you,"
She has no emotion with Uto, like a stranger who suddenly broke into life, but to Simon Zhe, she is like a good friend who has not been seen for a long time.
"It's enough to have your words," Ximen Zhe raised his solemn eyes and sighed softly, "The matter has come to this, now I will protect you,"
Just when Ximen Hao was about to find the female killer who thought it was Su Ran's painting, suddenly the woman disappeared.
"What is she going to do," Ximen Hao had a cold face, staring gloomily at the portrait in front of him,
This painting was painted by him himself, and the painting of Su Dye stood under the plane tree with purple flowers falling, which was the memory left by him when he first looked deeply at Su Dye's painting.
It turned out that as early as when he was newly married, as early as Su Dye's painting had just moved to Wutong House, he had left her mark in his heart.
She is arrogant against herself at this time, but what will happen when she really finds her,
Ximen Hao has been thinking about it, but he has never thought of an answer, it seems that the matter can be over after finding Su Ran's painting.
"Chen Mo, there is Chu Hang's whereabouts recently," Ximen Hao asked Chen Mo in front of him,
Since he searched all over the place for Su Dye paintings and alarmed Chu Hang, who was healing in Jiangnan, Chu Hang began to search in the dark alone, and brought him a message, for Su Dye paintings, he wanted to rob people alive and rob corpses, and vowed to snatch Su Dye paintings in his hands,
Therefore, while looking for Su Ran's paintings, Ximen Hao was also paying attention to Chu Hang's whereabouts, but his hiding kung fu was extremely high and quite laborious.
"Recently, he has been more active, but it seems that he is not looking for Su Ran paintings, but for an old friend of his master," Chen Mo said.
"The old friend of the old miracle doctor," Ximen Hao raised his eyebrows,
"Yes, he has been looking for something related to the old divine doctor recently, so his whereabouts are relatively easy to check," Chen Mo said, if it weren't for Chu Hang's actions being a little more public, he wouldn't have caught his whereabouts easily.
After Chen Mo left, Ximen Hao had been pondering the purpose of Chu Hang's move, it was said that in the case of the sudden news of Su Ranhua, he should step up his search, but suddenly shifted the target, then the old doctor who had been dead for many years and Su Ranhua would have a connection.
