Murong Zhining helplessly followed the room and saw that there was only one bed in the room. Qi Yun Yuexuan lay on the only bed, looking at her proudly and smiling.

Murong Zhining ignored Qi Yun Yuexuan and sat down quietly at the table. About a pillar of incense, the shopkeeper sent a few dishes of food and two sets of chopsticks. Murong Zhining was so hungry that she picked up her chopsticks and went to pick up the vegetables. Qi Yun Yuexuan quickly bounced up from the bed, rushed to her, snatched the chopsticks from her hand, and threw them on the table. Qi Yun Yuexuan took out a cloth bag from his arms and unfolded it, took out a silver needle, pricked it into each plate a few times, and stared at the silver needle carefully for a while: "Well, you can eat it, there is no problem with the meal." Murong Zhining glanced at him with disgust, and the two sat at the table, eating each other wordlessly. Qi Yun Yuexuan wanted to find something to say, but he didn't know what to say. He found that when he was alone with Murong Zhining, he was actually a little nervous.

After dinner, Qi Yun Yuexuan asked the shopkeeper to bring hot water and pour it into the bathtub behind the screen in the room. He exited the room and stood at the door, smiling ill-willedly: "General Ben is guarding you outside the door, and the princess closes the door and takes a good bath." If you need this general to wait for you to take a bath, just call out. Murong Zhining lowered her head, blushed, and silently bolted the door.

Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't dare to walk away, he paced around the door vigilantly, he didn't allow Murong Zhining's safety to be threatened in the slightest. Qi Yun Yuexuan carried a dagger in his arms, ready to deal with the situation that arose. After a while, there was no movement except for the slight sound of water in the room, and his tense nerves began to relax, and he leaned against the railing to rest for a while.

As soon as people relax, they start to think cranky. Qi Yun Yuexuan imagined the image of Murong Zhining bathing in her mind: she was leaning against a wooden barrel full of floating petals, and hazy water vapor rose around her. Her slender and white neck was exposed to the water, and a pair of plain hands gently rubbed back and forth on her body hidden underwater. After a while, she slowly stretched out her porcelain white delicate jade legs out of the water, and lifted them on the edge of the bath tub, and her soft and boneless slender hands caressed up and down on the jade legs. There is an impulse to explore the graceful body hidden underwater. Thinking of this, Qi Yun Yuexuan, who came back to his senses, blushed and heartbeat, and secretly scolded himself shamelessly in his heart. Murong Zhining is now sacred and undesecrated in his mind.

After Murong Zhining finished bathing, she opened a crack in the door, and Qi Yun Yuexuan entered the door with understanding. After Qi Yun Yuexuan entered the house, he secretly glanced at Murong Zhining, whose hair was still wet, and walked behind the screen. Behind the screen, the bucket of water that Murong Zhining had just used when she bathed was still steaming, and the air was filled with the faint, unique body fragrance of a little woman on Murong Zhining's body.

Murong Zhining blushed and walked over: "I haven't had time to clean up these yet, the general will wait a little longer and let the junior second brother fetch you some hot water." Qi Yun Yuexuan took off his clothes: "There is still half a bucket of cold water that you haven't used up here, and General Ben will use this cold water to wash it." When marching, sometimes there is not even cold water, and General Ben has long been used to it. Murong Zhining blushed and froze there, and a meaningful smile appeared on Qi Yun Yuexuan's face: "What's the matter? Does the princess still want to wash with General Ben?" Murong Zhining glanced at him angrily and retreated outside the screen: "The wound on the general's body has not healed yet, be careful, don't get wet." Qi Yun Yuexuan's heart was confused, but he deliberately teased her: "Alas, it hurts, General Ben can't see the back, is the wound broken again?" Murong Zhining ignored him, she walked to the side of the bed and gently poured it on the pillow. While Yun Yuexuan was taking a bath, she wanted to lie down first. After a day of riding, she was so tired.

By the time Yun Yuexuan finished bathing, Murong Zhining was already asleep on the bed. Her face was facing inward, her back was to Qi Yun Yuexuan, and she was wearing a goose-yellow satin shirt and pants, and her back was delicate and charming. Her long soft hair was scattered between the pillows, making Qi Yun Yuexuan want to caress it, carefully rubbing the silk-like soft hair. Qi Yun Yuexuan was stunned for a long time before he got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart. He walked to the bed gently, pushed Murong Zhining into the bed, and fell down beside her.

At night, Murong Zhi woke up in a daze, Qi Yun Yuexuan's body was close to her, a big hand was held on her waist, and she was sleeping deeply. Murong Zhining slammed his chest with her elbow, and Yun Yuexuan half opened her sleepy peach blossom eyes: "What's the matter? Can you still sleep well?" Murong Zhining broke away from the hand on his waist and shrank inside: "You sleep on the ground." Qi Yun Yuexuan's body wrapped around like a snake, and continued to hug Murong Zhining's waist: "General Ben has the right to protect you closely, sleep honestly and quickly, otherwise General Ben will take some extraordinary measures." For example, tie you up with a rope. Murong Zhining had taught him cold-blooded ruthlessness, she shrank back in fear, helplessly let him hold him, and fell asleep again.

When she woke up in the morning, Murong Zhining was secretly taken aback. She found that she had turned to face Qi Yun Yuexuan, her head was tightly resting on Qi Yun Yuexuan's arms, and one leg was still on Qi Yun Yuexuan's body, God knows how she turned over into this position at night. Murong Zhining quietly raised her head, wanting to secretly see if Qi Yun Yuexuan was awake, but she happened to bump into the charming peach blossom eyes that Qi Yun Yuexuan leaned over to look at her, and those peach blossom eyes looked at her gently, full of smiles.

Murong Zhining kicked Qi Yun Yuexuan away, and Qi Yun Yuexuan fell to the side, his face full of grievances: "Women are just unreasonable, obviously you didn't drill into General Ben's arms last night, and you are still so fierce." ”

The shopkeeper knocked on the door and brought breakfast to the two of them, and the two of them ate breakfast with their own hearts. Murong Zhining had been blushing because of her sleeping position in the morning, but Qi Yun Yuexuan had been secretly laughing there.

After breakfast, Qi Yun Yuexuan asked the shopkeeper to prepare some dry food to eat on the way. He laughed and helped Murong Zhining put his mustache on, and Murong Zhining pushed him angrily. The two walked out of the inn and prepared to leave.

Qi Yun Yuexuan put a thick and soft fur on the horse's back, and he helped Murong Zhining onto the horse and let her sit on the leather cushion on the horse's back. Qi Yun Yuexuan quickly stepped onto the horse and hugged Murong Zhining. Murong Zhi sat reclining, and the horse couldn't go too fast. Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't want to be in a hurry, and the two of them rode on their horses and walked unhurriedly on the official road. Murong Zhining thought to herself, fortunately, Qi Yun Yuexuan thought thoughtfully. Riding a horse like that in a straddle posture yesterday, at the end of the day, it is really unbearable.

Qi Yun Yuexuan pulled Murong Zhining's body to his chest: "The princess will be more comfortable leaning on General Ben like this." General Ben used to ride a horse with a halberd of about 100 catties, but compared to this, it is much easier, you can rest assured. The black horse walked unhurriedly, and Murong Zhining was a little sleepy, and fell asleep in Qi Yun Yuexuan's arms. Qi Yun Yuexuan hugged her waist tightly and gently rested his chin on top of her head.

At noon, Qi Yun Yuexuan let the horse drive into a path next to the official road, walked to a quiet field, and hugged Murong Zhi off the horse. Ma Zi was leisurely eating grass in the field, Qi Yun Yuexuan handed the dry food and water bladder to Murong Zhining, and the two sat on the grass at the edge of the field to rest.

A bird's shadow appeared in the sky, and the bird flew in his direction. The bird flew closer, and Murong Zhining saw clearly that it was a carrier pigeon. The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed beside Yi Yun Yuexuan, he grabbed the carrier pigeon, untied the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's feet, and took out the paper roll inside to check it.

After reading the note, Qi Yun Yuexuan took out a small piece of paper in his arms and rolled it into a bamboo tube, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and released the pigeon. Qi Yun Yuexuan glanced at Murong Zhining: "General Ben has received a letter from Captain Wu, Cai Sang and they are all safe and sound under the protection of the guards, the princess can rest assured." General Ben has sent the news of our safety to Captain Wu, and he will have your father informed him on a fast horse. Murong Zhining nodded with satisfaction: "When did the general write the note?" Qi Yun Yuexuan looked at the pigeon flying away: "I wrote it when Tuoba Zhi Manor was recuperating from his injuries, and I never had a chance to send it out." ”

Murong Zhining was a little incredulous, the man in front of her was once the brutal general who was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless to her, wantonly trampling on her body and dignity. Thinking of this, Murong Zhining's face showed a little pain, she hated that her scar was still there, so she forgot the pain. Qi Yun Yuexuan also caught the change in her mood, and her face sank, and both of them were silent for a long time.

The afternoon sun was just right, soft and warm, Qi Yun Yuexuan fell on the grass, pulled a grass in his mouth, and broke the silence: "Rest for a while, wait a while, there will be a large group of people passing by on the official road, and General Ben doesn't know if it will pose a threat to the princess?" Murong Zhining didn't believe his judgment: "How did the general know that a large group of people and horses would pass through this place?" Qi Yun Yuexuan closed his eyes and did not respond, as if Murong Zhining's question was insulting his intelligence.

After a pillar of incense, the official road was covered with dust, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves and the noise of people. Murong Zhining secretly admired Qi Yun Yuexuan's extraordinary observation, and Murong Zhining asked: "When the general was still so far away, he could find a large group of men and horses, how did the general do it? Could it be the person sent by my father to find me?" Qi Yun Yuexuan chewed the grass in his mouth: "What is this? Ten miles away, this general can judge how many people and horses the other party has." Now that you don't know the situation of the other party, General Ben will not let you take risks. You trust General Ben to return you safely to your father and queen mother. Murong Zhining nodded.

When the group of centaurs went away in the direction they had come, Qi Yun Yuexuan whistled, and the black horse obediently ran back to him. Qi Yun Yuexuan patted the horse's head lovingly, tilted his head and looked at Murong Zhining proudly: "It's called lightning, and it only recognizes General Ben." If the general had told the princess that she could understand human speech, the princess would not have believed it. Murong Zhining pouted: "Is the general deceiving a three-year-old child?" Qi Yun Yuexuan patted Lightning's head: "Lightning, someone doesn't believe that you can understand General Ben's words, can you understand?" Lightning's nose was snorting, the horse's head was nodding up and down, and his hooves were happily gouging twice on the ground. Qiyun Yuexuan winked at Murong Zhining ostentatiously, and Murong Zhining shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be very difficult to get Ma to learn to nod." Qi Yun Yuexuan's eyes widened, and he patted Lightning's head again and asked, "Lightning, isn't this young lady next to General Ben beautiful?" Lightning shook his head from side to side. Qi Yun Yuexuan patted the horse's head mischievously: "General Ben is wrong, is the little boy next to him so handsome and handsome?"

Murong Zhining's eyes widened in surprise, she walked over and touched Lightning's body, and Lightning's head turned her head in favor and rubbed against her. Qi Yun Yuexuan patted the lightning: "Lightning, this little boy likes wild flowers, you go and pick one for him." When the lightning heard this, he really ran to the river, picked up a wild flower, and threw it at Murong Zhining's feet.

Murong Zhining happily looked around the lightning carefully, as if she was looking at a rare treasure. When she saw the word Qiyun on the lightning buttocks, which also had a soldering iron mark, the joy in her eyes slowly condensed into mist. Qi Yun Yuexuan knew that it had aroused her sadness, so he hurriedly walked over and hugged her on the horse, he rode on the horse and silently hugged Murong Zhining, but Murong Zhining refused to lean on his chest anymore.

The two sat silently on horseback, walking slowly and leisurely on the official road, and occasionally passing merchants cast surprised or exclamatory glances at them.
