24 Return to the capital
Fortunately, the town is not big, and Lan Meng and the others quickly found a place to buy horses. In the process of choosing horses, they learned from the mouth of the horse boss that this place is not far from the capital, and it is more than a hundred miles away. It's noon, and if they set off from now, they will be able to get to the capital tonight.
Since the carriage here is not hired from outside, Lan Meng and the others can only buy a horse. Ye Ling bought some dry food and water at the market, and rode a horse to the capital with Lan Meng.
The bump of the horse's running made Lan Meng, who was sitting on the horse's back, a little unbearable, she felt that her internal organs were shattered, and her head was dizzy. She leaned weakly on Ye Ling's back, and her hands were clasping his waist. She was afraid that her hand would be slackened for a while, and she would fall off the horse.
Ye Ling felt Lan Meng's discomfort, he grabbed Ma and asked Lan Meng, who was leaning on his back, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, you can leave me alone and keep going." Lan Meng has been bumped and weak, the long pain is better than the short pain, let's bear with it, hurry back to the capital, so that she can sleep well.
Lan Meng's words made Ye Ling feel even more sorry for her when she heard it, but they couldn't stop, otherwise they wouldn't be able to reach the capital tonight. Wandering in the jungle in the past few days has exhausted their muscles and bones to the limit. If something happens again tonight, they will die in the suburbs.
The sunset receded in full silver. Lan Meng and the others finally arrived at the gate of the capital when the night just fell, but the gate was already closed.
Since Lan Meng had been sitting on horseback for a long time, her feet had become numb to the point of being unconscious. She looked at Ye Ling bitterly, and said helplessly, "Can you help me?" I can't get off the horse myself right now. ”
Ye Ling suddenly used light skills, and a princess hugged her off the horse. This handsome scene made Lan Meng stunned for a while.
When Ye Ling saw Lan Meng, who had lost her mind, her heart was full of satisfaction with her behavior, and a smug smile appeared on her mouth, presumably she must have been moved by her behavior.
Suddenly, Ye Ling woke up from his dream: "I just asked you to help me, why did you come to a princess hug?" ”
Lan Meng's legs were numb, Ye Ling only had to gently help her get off the horse, at least she could slowly stretch the muscles of her thighs, so that her legs were not so uncomfortable to stand up. Unexpectedly, Ye Ling hugged her directly, because when he hugged her, his hands touched her thighs at the same time, making her two feet numb at the same time, and the spasms that made her whole body ache.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Ye Ling hurriedly apologized and wanted to put her down directly.
"Don't put me down now, you let the numbness in my legs slow down and then let me down." Lan Meng immediately drank Ye Ling, who wanted to put her down. Her feet were now scattered, and if he put her down now, she would come and get up close and personal with the ground.
Ye Ling obediently hugged her for a while before putting her down. They all looked at the closed gates at the same time, and they all wondered how to get in. While they were still pondering. With a "squeak", the gates opened.
The sudden opening of the city gate surprised Lan Meng and them. At this time, a shout of "Blue Dream" made them set their eyes on Litian who ran out of the city gate.
Litian, who ran over, hugged Lan Meng: "Meng'er! ”
It turned out that when Litian was about to go to Fengyi Hall to share dinner with Lan Meng after returning to the house, he learned from Ling'er that Lan Meng had been out for a whole day and had not returned home. When he heard this, he immediately ordered Leng Ran to take someone down to look for it, but he searched all the places Lan Meng usually visited, but he didn't see anyone. At this time, Li Tiancai discovered the seriousness of the matter, because Lan Meng's identity is relatively special, and if it is not handled properly, it will provoke a war between the two countries, so he ordered Leng Ranjia to send people to secretly find Lan Meng's whereabouts. After several days and nights of investigation in the capital, no trace of her was found. Therefore, Litian asked Leng Ran to send some royal soldiers to guard the city gate, and if there was any news of the princess, report it immediately.
Litian's embrace made Lan Meng a little uncomfortable, and she pretended to be uncomfortable and pushed Litian away: "Lord Wang, you hurt me." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry! This king was so happy just now, he may have used too much force for a while, are you okay? "Litian asked with concern.
"It's fine!"
Lan Meng looked at Litian with a haggard face, and the black stubble on his chin, it seemed that he was really worried about himself. Although he has no love for him, his concern for himself still touches Lan Meng's heart.
Litian suddenly looked at Ye Ling, who was standing beside Lan Meng, his eyes exuded hostility, and he asked coldly, "Why did you appear here?" ”
Lan Meng saw Litian who suddenly changed his face, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble. She hurriedly explained: "He saved me." Lan Meng told Litian about the things he was chased and killed on the street that day, and how he came out of the jungle in the past few days.
After listening to Litian, he angrily ordered Leng Ran: "Check this king well, see who is so bold, since he wants to take the life of this princess." ”
"Yes!" Leng Ran received the order and called the carriage, and said respectfully: "Lord, princess, let's go back to the house first." ”
"Well, Meng'er, let's go!" Litian ignored Ye Ling's existence and helped Lan Meng to walk towards the carriage.
The moment Lan Meng got into the car, she glanced back at Ye Ling, and her eyes contained a lot of things she wanted to say to him. Ye Ling saw Lan Meng who turned around, smiled at her gently, nodded at her, and signaled that he understood what she wanted to say.
After the carriage of the palace left, Ye Ling also entered the city. As soon as he entered the city, Ye Feng walked out of the dark corner: "Childe! ”
"I'll talk about it when I get back!" Ye Ling said sharply.
"Yes!"
With a loud "squeak", the city gate was closed again, and the city gate returned to its usual tranquility in the darkness.
