Hongque had just experienced a torrential rain, and the green grass and trees had sprung up like mushrooms, and the people who were tracking them on horseback could not see through the dense layers of grass and trees to see what the fugitive siblings were doing. Bai Qige followed Bai Haoyu and walked backwards, until he stopped the horse's hooves next to the boulder that was more than one person high, and silently signaled his younger brother to hide behind the boulder, while he held the handle of the knife and leaned to the side.

If the tracking target is lost, the tracker will definitely rush to check it out.

Sure enough, less than a stick of incense when the two of them hid behind the stone, the tracker hidden in the grass couldn't wait to gallop on the horse, and the loud sound of horses' hooves approached more and more. Listening carefully to the louder and louder hoofs, the moment the shadow of a man and a horse next to the big stone appeared, Bai Qige swung his horizontal knife and suddenly attacked, and the sharp snow blade slashed straight at the unexpectedly approaching tracker.

There was a loud clash of gold and iron, and the horizontal knife that used up eight points of strength was accurately intercepted by the long sword, obviously that person was not a vegetarian, and he was both alert and experienced. The deflection blade attacked again, Bai Qige did not leave any gap to give the other party a chance to counterattack, and was bent on a quick battle to let Bai Haoyu leave safely, and then did not reserve his strength to slash hard.

"The Princess. It's me. It's me. The urgent voice stopped Bai Qige's movements, the vicissitudes of life were powerful and confident, Bai Qige was familiar with this voice, and he could hear it almost every day since he set out on the expedition.

"General Xiao."

Dressed in iron armor and vermilion, the tracker in the prime of life is none other than the deputy general of the Northern Expedition of the Yao Army, Xiao Baishan.

Xiao Baishan can be said to be the second only general in the army to Yi Chenjing, who is not only cultivated by the general but also deeply trusted by Emperor Yao, Yi Chenjing treats him with three points, what does it mean for such a prominent deputy general to track her down. It's nothing more than that Yi Chenjing is bound to win Bai Haoyu's life. Perhaps, there is also her life.

Dai Mei is tall and tall, and the gentle princess of Dayao is less intimate and more hostile in the face of the respectful deputy general, the horizontal knife in her hand is stopped in front of her, the vigilance in her eyes has not decreased for half a minute, and her tone is mocking: "Yi Chenjing inevitably looked down on me too much, and even sent General Xiao to pursue me personally, why, are the two cheap lives of our sister and brother more important than the major events of the Northern Expedition." ”

"The princess has misunderstood." Xue Liang's sword light was approaching, Xiao Baishan couldn't say what was suffering, so he had to take a step back and say that he had no malice, and his smile was more bitter than eating fish gall, "The princess put down the knife first, and the last general was not sent by the general to pursue the two." ”

"It's not here to pursue, isn't it here to protect?" Bai Qige sneered.

Rao is Xiao Baishan explained in a thousand ways, and Bai Qige was always vigilant. The heart of defense is indispensable, she has experienced too many times of deception and betrayal, who knows if the middle-aged general who has worked hard for the country for half her life will stab her with a sword when she puts down the knife. Yu Yaoguo, Yu Yi Chenjing, she is an outsider after all.

Seeing the deep suspicion in Bai Qige's eyes, Xiao Baishan had no choice but to abandon his sword and turn over and dismount, and knelt down on one knee with respect: "The last general was ordered by the general to escort the princess and Bai Gongzi. ”

Escort. Bai Qige was stunned, she poured Xiao Baishan and the others with wine before she escaped from the Yaoguo camp with Bai Haoyu, it stands to reason that Yi Chenjing could not know, how to escort her. Moreover, he hated the two sisters and brothers of the Bai family who killed Hongxuan, how could he not kill and protect him. What Xiao Baishan said was difficult to convince Bai Qige, or rather, there was no reason to believe Bai Qige at all.

Just a few days after making the promise of the white head, Yi Chenjing took the sword and faced him indifferently, his capriciousness, his mind was difficult to understand...... Bai Qige no longer had any expectations for Yi Chenjing's pity, but at this moment, someone came out and said that he wanted to protect her.

Is it possible.

The trance didn't last long, a thought flashed, Bai Qige still stubbornly crossed his fingers, and his thin body blocked in front of Xiao Baishan: "General Xiao doesn't have to cover up for him anymore, as long as he is willing to let Xiao Yu go, I can go back with General Xiao immediately without saying a word to confess the guilt, but if he insists on taking Xiao Yu's life." Forgive Qige for offending, even if I die, I will never let anyone hurt my family. ”

Bai Qige has always said the same, the export must be done, after getting along for so many years, Xiao Baishan also understands something, seeing that thin and slightly pale cheeks have a resolute look, and the deputy general of Yaoguo really doesn't know how to react. After hesitating for a long time, the words in his heart came to his mouth several times and swallowed back, and the complex performance of wanting to speak and stopping made Bai Qige wonder, but his body did not dare to move at all.

"The princess, you are forcing the last general...... faintly sighed, Xiao Baishan closed his eyes and shook his head, and took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind, "It is inconvenient for the general to hide it now, in fact, everything that happened today is expected by the general, and the general knows everything that happened after the arrival of the five princes." ”

Bai Qige's heart trembled suddenly, and she lost her voice in surprise: "Yi Chenjing knew that I would save Xiao Yu." ”

"It's not just about saving Bai Gongzi, all the princess sees is a play, and the person who made up this scene is the general."

Originally, her clear thinking was chaotic, and there seemed to be a vague clue in her mind that was difficult to grasp, Bai Qige's intuition told her that Xiao Baishan was not lying, and everything had an inside story that she didn't know.

The horizontal knife hanging in the air finally hung down weakly, Xiao Baishan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, in order to prevent Bai Qige, who was suspicious of the fox again, had to keep a distance of three steps, and his eager tone eased a lot: "The general treats the princess very much, and the soldiers in the army are obvious to all, even if others are suspicious and speculated, the princess should never suspect that the general treats you harshly." In the past few days, it has looked like the princess and Bai Gongzi are suffering, but in fact, the person who is really sad is the general, the princess may not have paid attention, only a few days of hard work, the general has lost a whole weight. ”

"General Xiao has something to say, what the hell is Yi Chenjing doing." There have been too many things that have happened recently, Xiao Baishan is vague and only says something about Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige, who is in a mess, gives up thinking alone, and simply frowns and asks directly.

"The general's attitude has changed so much before and after, didn't the princess ever doubt it?" Xiao Baishan completely ignored Bai Qige's anxiety, and asked slowly.

"This ......," Bai Qige hesitated.

Indeed, after Xiao Baishan said this, she suddenly realized that Yi Chenjing's gentleness before Yi Chenxuan's arrival and his resolute coldness later were really worlds apart, and she was angry and blamed him on his paranoid personality and instability, but she didn't carefully consider his mood. Didn't he remember all the changes he had in his heart during the day and night relationship. Isn't he willing to use his life to keep her safe. Although he broke his word, he has been trying to stick to his oath of never leaving, such he, such Yi Chenjing, what reason does he have to abandon her because half of the truth is already clear.

His changes were so rapid and drastic that they were so unreal, and she didn't hesitate to label him with a broken promise.

The expression in his eyes changed violently, and his pale cheeks showed a confused color, Bai Qige's hand began to tremble, trembling until he couldn't let go, and the horizontal knife fell to the ground.

"He didn't blame me, and he didn't have to kill Xiao Yu, did he."

Xiao Baishan shook his head slowly: "Is it that the last general doesn't know, the last general only knows that the general loves the princess deeply, and he will never cut off the love thread because of the appearance of the fifth prince or some secret matter." The princess didn't see him behind the scenes, the general always looked at the void and was stunned, he didn't think about tea and dinner, he didn't keep his soul, and he really worried about the princess and missed him very much. ”

If Yi Chenjing really cares about her as Xiao Baishan said, why should she be forced step by step to make her almost crazy until she escapes.

"The liquor left by Boss Ning is really domineering, but if you don't drink it, where does the drunkenness come from." Xiao Baishan saw that Bai Qige was shaken, and opened his mouth in a low voice to take advantage of the situation to pursue, "The soldiers guarding the cage were specially replaced by the general, and they are all the most trusted subordinates of the last general, even if they are forced with knives, they will never neglect their duties and run to drink any wine, and now they are sitting soberly in the camp tent." Also, the princess thought that the general publicly announced the burning at the stake for something. Before leaving, he ordered Bai Gongzi to eat and drink well and nourish his physical strength. The princess is a smart person, and she really can't even figure it out. ”

That is to say, Xiao Baishan and the guards did not drink the wine at all, they were pretending to be drunk; It is said that Yi Chenjing deliberately let her know that Bai Haoyu was about to be burned at the stake, and if she wanted to save people, she had to take action; That is to say, he knew her, and knew that she would be forced to make such a decision, so he provided all the necessary conditions for escape in advance to open the door for her.

The thin figure flickered suddenly, staggering back a few steps.

She understood.

How can there be any ruthlessness to bear her, and where did she come from for Hongxuan not to hesitate to turn against her again. Everything Yi Chenjing did was for her.

No one understands the importance of family in her heart better than him, so even though she is angry and hateful, Yi Chenjing finally chooses to protect her most important family member and betrays her own heart and gives up avenging Princess Hongxuan. He seems to be ruthless, first imprisoning Bai Haoyu and then threatening to have nothing to say to her and refuse to meet, but he is actually doing it for others to see. To avoid someone's eyes and ears and to make people believe that they have broken up.

"Why didn't he tell me?" With a sour throat, Bai Qige asked softly.

If he made it clear that everything was to deceive Yi Chenxuan, no matter how wronged she was, she wouldn't blame him and wouldn't die because of it, wouldn't that be better.

Bai Qige's confusion was all seen in the eyes of Xiao Baishan, who had rich experience, and the middle-aged general smiled lightly: "The fifth prince is such a smart character, how can he believe it if he plays a fake act." First, the general is worried that the princess will be messy if you care about it, but he knows the truth but shows his feet because he feels sorry for Bai Gongzi, and secondly, he ...... The wall has ears, and the general has to guard against the ubiquitous opponents, and he must be extremely cautious and careful in everything he says and does, and even the last general can only use the opportunity to discuss military affairs to make sure that he is not discovered by suspicious people. ”

That's right, Yi Chenxuan, the fifth prince who is gentle and elegant on the surface, is the most proficient in acting, she is a person with an anxious personality, and the performance of knowing the truth and not knowing must be different, and it is very likely to be noticed by Yi Chenxuan, who is deaf and clear-sighted; Then there is Su Jinyan, who is strong in martial arts, in the Yaoguo Palace, it is this blue-eyed man who has been monitoring the dust Xuan, and there are no battle court guards in the military camp, who would have expected that the shadowy watchdog would still be eavesdropping somewhere.

I have to say that Yi Chenjing is delicate and thoughtful, this scene has to be performed like this.

The answer was revealed, Bai Haoyu's life was worry-free, and the relationship between her and Yi Chenjing had not changed in any way, and the fleeing princess with her eyes lowered had a faint smile on her lips, hiding thoughts that only she could understand.

Although the thrill was followed by a sudden impact, and what happened made it difficult for her to be completely relieved in a short period of time, Bai Qige understood one thing.

He loves Hongxuan and loves her, sincerely.
