Cai Sang spread soft fur on a large stone and carefully helped Murong Zhining to sit down. In front of Murong Zhining was a small river flowing quietly, Cai Sang washed the towel in the crystal clear river water, gently wiped Murong Zhining's delicate white cheeks, and then combed her somewhat scattered bun. Murong Zhining took off the gorgeous clothes and decorations on her body, and only wore a plain white skirt. Her hair was simply tied in a bun with a ribbon, and the end of the ribbon hung long, and the wind blew it behind her. She looked sick and pale. Despite her morbid face, it did not affect her beauty in the slightest, but made her look like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world. Luo Siyao picked a large handful of wildflowers on the bank of the river and handed it to Murong Zhining. Murong Zhining held the flowers to her chest, lowered her eyelashes, and gently sniffed the fragrance of the wildflowers.

On the other side of the river appeared a tall black horse riding a man in armor. He had a green cloth on his face, a gold-rimmed blindfold, and a glittering halberd in his hand. The man reined in his horse and looked at Murong Zhining quietly on the other side. Murong Zhining saw the charming and narrow phoenix eyes under his blindfold, those phoenix eyes lost the fierceness and coldness of the past, with a trace of tenderness and pity.

Cai Sang also found Qi Yun Yuexuan on the other side, she glanced at Qi Yun Yue Xuan fiercely, helped Murong Zhining up, and walked in the direction of the tent. The immediately Qi Yun Yuexuan stood in place for a long time before leaving lonely.

For several days, Murong Zhining could see Qi Yun Yuexuan following behind Shang Xia's escort. No matter where she appeared, Qi Yun Yuexuan would ride a horse and watch her from afar. She didn't know what Qi Yun Yuexuan wanted to do? Obviously, she had returned Biwu, and she also expressed her determination not to meet the mountains and rivers, but that person still seemed to refuse to let her go.

Luo Siyao seemed to see through Murong Zhi's thoughts: "Is the princess wondering why General Qiyun is following closely? Siyao knows that the general has something to say to the princess in person." Caisang glared at her unhappily: "You don't need to mention your inferior master, you say that the princess will not see him." Murong Zhining also nodded and said, "I can't control what happened in the past, but I can grasp my future, and I don't want to see him again in my life." Luo Siyao still refused to give up: "But...... But even if General Qiyun commits a crime, he should be given a chance to defend himself, right?" Cai Sang pinched her arm fiercely: "What kind of opportunity do you give? That's the princess's kindness, not like him." If it were me, I would simply let General Huyan lead someone to cripple him. No matter how ruthless it is, it's not impossible to kill it. Luo Siyao's voice was like a gnat: "Caisang, you are unreasonable." Cai Sang rolled his eyes disdainfully: "Why should I reason with the beasts? The things he did to the princess are simply outrageous, he has reasoned?" Murong Zhining felt as if her heart had been pierced by something, and she felt a faint pain.

At dusk that day, when it was time to set up camp and rest in the evening, the escort team drew a group of people to set up camping tents. Murong Zhining, Cai Sang, and Luo Siyao sat in the carriage parked on the side of the road and waited, leaving only three guards with knives beside the car.

Next to the carriage was a small hill with dense trees and weeds, which looked very desolate. Cai Sang faintly felt a little uneasy: "There won't be thieves in this place, right? I just saw the grass on the hillside move, I don't know if there will be people hiding?" Cai Sang alertly stretched out his head and went out to look at the mountain: "Si Yao, hurry up and see if the camp tent is set up?" Call some people over. ”

As soon as the words fell, several masked people suddenly jumped out of the grass on the hillside and rushed towards the carriage. Cai Sang shouted "not good" and helped Murong Zhining get out of the car and run, and the three guards around him rushed forward and mingled with the thieves who rushed down the mountain.

There were more than a dozen masked thieves, and the three guards were outnumbered, and they were soon overwhelmed. The thieves chased after Murong Zhining and Caisang, their intentions were obvious, they were coming at Murong Zhining. Caisang shouted, "Help." Qi Yun Yuexuan, who was commanding the soldiers to camp in the distance, heard Caisang's call for help, stepped on his horse and galloped over.

The masked thief had already carried Murong Zhining, preparing to flee to the hillside, when he saw someone chasing him, he stopped and shouted in front of Murong Zhining with a knife holder: "If you chase her again, I will want her life, you only want money." When you are ready for the money, we will release this little lady, if you don't cooperate, you don't mind robbing by the way. The thief said as he stepped back up the slope.

Qi Yun Yuexuan waved his hand behind him, signaling the guards on both sides to stop, he tried to suppress his anger: "Since it is a request for wealth, it is easy to say, please make a price." The thief who held Murong Zhining hostage took a knife and pointed forward: "Stand back." We haven't figured out how much money we want, we have to take this little lady away first, and then contact you when we think about it. Qi Yun Yuexuan dismounted and took a step back: "Since it is to seek wealth, wealth is in front of you." Now that she is released, General Ben may be able to give you a way to live. If you hurt one of her hair, General Ben will make you die even if you ask for death. ”

Shang Xia's envoy asked the guards to bring a large box of silver and put it on the side of the road. The masked thief still refused to let Murong Zhining go, and wanted to forcibly take her away. Qi Yun Yuexuan suddenly realized that they were not here for money.

Qi Yun Yuexuan deliberately distracted the thieves and delayed the time: "Master, aren't you asking for money? The silver is right in front of you, you take it and release it, it's not enough." As long as you can take it, you can have as much as you want. The thief was shocked by his momentum and exchanged glances. The masked thief holding Murong Zhining pointed a knife in the direction of Qiyun Yuexuan, threatening him to retreat with his subordinates: "Don't fool master, can we still run away if we let people go?" Quickly retreat, otherwise I will kill her." ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan glanced at the hillside behind the masked thief, and his cold voice made the thieves tremble: "General Ben has already given you a chance, but you don't want it, look behind you." Just as the thieves turned back, a group of Qiyun soldiers who had secretly outflanked the thieves were already armed with bows and crossbows, and shot the dozen masked thieves to death with arrows. The masked man who held Murong Zhining hostage had his arm cut off by the halberd thrown by Qi Yun Yuexuan, and the knife fell to the ground with a "clang". Murong Zhining was frightened, and her body fell to the ground limply. The Qiyun army on the slope rushed down and held the thief who had injured his arm.

Qi Yun Yuexuan stepped forward to help Murong Zhining up, and Murong Zhining pushed him in resistance. Qi Yun Yuexuan stepped on the horse with a smile, leaned over and hugged Murong Zhining on the horse's back, one of his hands firmly clasped on her thin waist. Murong Zhining struggled desperately: "Let me go." Are these all your means? are they all the people you arranged?" Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't reply, only tightly wrapped his hands around her waist, and rode his horse in the direction of the tent.

Murong Zhining could feel that the words just now had angered Qi Yun Yuexuan, she heard the sound of Qi Yun Yuexuan "clucking" and gritting her teeth, she remembered his fierceness, shivered, and did not speak again. Qi Yun Yuexuan rode a horse and sent her directly to Shang Xia's tent, and he threw Murong Zhining from his horse into a pile of straw in front of the tent as if he were punitive, and rode away.

More than a dozen masked men who had been shot by the arrows were dead, and some recognized several of them as Shangxia people. General Huyan brought the only person alive who had injured his arm to the big tent for interrogation, and invited Murong Zhining to come over and listen. The black cloth on the thief's face had been removed, and he looked like he was not afraid of death. Murong Zhining looked at the light of the torches in the tent and saw a scar on his brow and a black mole on his ear. Although so many years have passed, those two marks are still deeply rooted in Murong Zhining's heart.

Murong Zhining's body softened, and she couldn't help but tremble: "Why do you keep chasing and killing me, why do you want to kill my nurse?" The thief was taken aback, he didn't expect that he could be recognized by Murong Zhining with his face covered all the time. He had a complicated and frightened expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I can't survive anyway, it doesn't hurt to tell you, you let these people all retreat, what I want to say is very important." General Huyan was afraid that he would hurt Murong Zhining, so he refused to retreat. Murong Zhining waved her hand and motioned for the people in the tent to withdraw: "You all retreat, he is seriously injured, and his hands and feet are tied, and he can't hurt me." ”

Everyone withdrew from the big tent, and the thief glanced at Murong Zhining, and his mood seemed to be very complicated: "Actually, we are still relatives, and my mother Murong Ruoyu, who is now Empress Shangxia, is a cousin. We are all descendants of the Northern Yan Emperor Murong Yun, and when the Northern Yan fell to the country, the Murong family took a large number of treasures with them when they fled. The most valuable of these treasures is not gold and silver treasures, but a strange book, which is said to have been written by Qin Shi Huang himself. Our ancestor hid his treasure in the ...... on the way to escape," the thief said this, when suddenly an arrow shot from the window and pierced him in the chest. The thief took his last breath: "You...... Sheet ...... Treasure map ......".

The night is as cold as water, and there are unknown insects outside the tent that keep "chirping", disturbing people's thoughts. Murong Zhining sat in the tent and her thoughts surged, always puzzled by the mystery of her life experience and the cause of the nurse's death, and basically had half of the answer in her heart. It's just that the missing part of this answer will have to wait for her mother to be fully revealed.

Murong Zhi condensed herself thinking about what happened today, Cai Sang came over to change her clothes, and when she saw the thing hanging from her waist, she pouted unhappily: "I didn't expect you to forgive him so quickly, and you also accepted a dowry." Murong Zhi frowned and asked suspiciously: "Who forgives whom? What dowry?" Cai Sang angrily pulled the corner of her clothes: "Biwu accepted it, and said that I didn't forgive, I knew that you had a good scar and forgot the pain!"

Murong Zhining looked down at Cai Sang's eyes, and Biwu was hanging on her belt.

Murong Zhining took Bi Wu off and looked at it in her hand. Qiyun Yuexuan has replaced the original old silk rope, and now on the green tree, there is a brand-new, red thread with gold silk lanyard. Murong Zhining's face flushed, just now when Qi Yun Yuexuan was on the horse, Qi Yun Yuexuan took advantage of her struggle and secretly hung Bi Wu on her waist.

Murong Zhining smiled flatteringly, with a flattering expression accompanied by an innocent look: "When I was on the horse just now, he took advantage of my inattention and hung on me, and asked Si Yao to take it back to him another day." Caisang's face softened, and he lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly. Murong Zhi sighed and deliberately teased: "I didn't expect this palace to look at the face of a minion. After saying this, Murong Zhining's face was hot, and Yan Feng suddenly flashed in her mind.
