As if sensing that I was trying my best to suppress myself, Pei Yuanxiu's hand holding my hand was a little harder, and his voice became more firm: "The news they sent back, Li'er was just robbed - don't worry!" I will definitely get Li'er back and bring it back safely! ”

My cold fingertips slowly calmed down in his palm, and when I raised my head and looked at his determined eyes, I said softly, "Hmm." ”

When he heard my voice, he immediately seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at me.

But just as he was about to get up and prepare to leave, he felt my backhand grab his hand, Pei Yuanxiu was startled, and looked back at me in disbelief.

I looked calmly into his eyes: "I'll go too." ”

"What?" When he heard this, he immediately subconsciously said, "No." ”

"I have to go."

"Young Baby!"

"Childe!" I looked at him seriously and irresistibly, and said, "No matter what calamity happens to my daughter, no matter what harm she will suffer, as a mother, I should be by her side." I've been absent for so many years, and I don't want to be absent at this time, when I'm already so close to her! ”

As if shocked by my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a while, and finally said softly: "But your body-"

"I'm a lot better, and besides, any mother would stick with it for the sake of her daughter." I said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to carry it today." ”

“……”

Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak, just looked at me, there was a tremor in those eyes, and after a while, he turned around and faced me, holding my hands and clenching them hard, and said, "I can take you there, but Qingying, you must also promise me-"

"I'm not going to push myself." Before he could speak, I said, "I won't take any risks, I want to let myself and my daughter meet each other in peace." ”

Hearing my assurance, Pei Yuanxiu finally seemed to be relieved a little, and nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

When he came to the inner courtyard, it was already past the end of the hour, and the next time naturally he couldn't sleep, and soon a few maids came to serve me to wash and dress, and tidy up my luggage a little, before dawn, he helped me out of the inner courtyard, Pei Yuanxiu had already taken someone to wait at the door, and when he saw me go out, he immediately greeted me.

"You're here."

I nodded, and looked around, there were indeed a lot of people he had brought with him, and all of them were good hands. But to some surprise, I saw two carriages parked in front of the door.

If you rush to save people, shouldn't you ride a horse and rush as much as you can?

As if seeing the doubts in my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "Your body can't withstand such bumps, so I prepared a carriage for you." ”

I hurriedly said, "Don't worry about me, it's important to save Li'er earlier." ”

"Qingying, you promised me, you want to be obedient."

"But—"

"Shhhhhh You also have to be obedient, if not you...... Then it doesn't make sense for me to do anything. ”

If it weren't for you...... Then it doesn't make sense for me to do anything.

This sentence echoed in my ears, and I looked at his eyes without a smile at all, and I was stunned.

The sky is dark, the clouds are thick, and the city of Yangzhou, which has no sunlight, is as cold as a cold bonsai in such an early morning, and the only thing that has temperature is his hands. I was stupidly led by him to the side of the carriage, and coaxed softly: "I use good horses to pull these two carriages, don't worry, they won't be slower than us on horseback." But when the wagons can't get on the mountain road, you'll have to get down. At that time, it really depends on whether you can carry it down, and now is the time for you to take a good rest. ”

I finally couldn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and was about to get into the carriage, but I saw a group of people behind me humming and carrying a few large boxes over, and put the boxes in the carriage behind. What do you do with those big boxes?

Just as I was puzzled, Pei Yuanxiu had already helped me into the carriage, and he himself quickly jumped up.

I moved to the window and looked behind me and asked, "What's in that carriage in the back?" ”

He said calmly: "Money." ”

"Huh?"

"If those people ask for money, that's the best thing to do."

"Oh......"

I forgot that Li'er was robbed, maybe for money. If you can give them gold and silver treasures, you can redeem the departed son, which is naturally the safest and most appropriate way.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Pei Yuanxiu, fortunately he was thoughtful.

But......

If those people don't want money, they're just afraid-

When he met my gaze, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to know everything, and smiled faintly at me: "Don't worry, take advantage of closing your eyes and resting now." When we get there, we'll see you again. ”

I nodded.

I was about to close my eyes, when I suddenly heard a loud noise outside, as if someone was talking loudly inside, and the footsteps of many people were ringing, and after a while, someone ran out of it, asked, and ran outside our carriage, and said respectfully: "Childe......"

Pei Yuanxiu had already closed his eyes to recuperate, but at this time he also opened his eyes, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Miss Zitong heard the news and is going too."

Miss Zitong? It's the descendant of the King of Jiangxia, Han Zitong!

As soon as I heard her name, my eyes widened subconsciously, but I saw that Pei Yuanxiu just said lightly: "Tell her, let her stay in the mansion well, and we will naturally save Ruoshi when we go." ”

"Yes."

The man took the order and withdrew, and heard the whip whistle outside, the sound of horses' hooves speeding forward, and our carriage was moving quickly.

Because it was to save people, naturally we couldn't delay time, and the first group of horses quickly left us behind and disappeared in front. Pei Yuanxiu didn't lie to me, the horse pulling the cart is indeed a good horse, although the speed can't catch up with the galloping horse, but it is not too slow, but under the premise of moving forward so quickly, we can't be too comfortable.

The carriage drove for most of the day, and I was also in a faint pain in my body, but when I thought that Li'er might be in danger, I could only grit my teeth and endure it. In order to hurry, we hardly stopped to rest halfway, just watched the sun outside the window like fire, and then slowly dimmed, I lasted a day, and my eyelids kept fighting, and finally I couldn't help it, and closed my eyes gently.

I don't know if it was because I was too tired, or for some reason, I quickly fell asleep, but the carriage was so bumpy, even if I fell asleep, it was unstable, I frowned and was subconsciously hummed, after a while, as if I had fallen into a cloud in a dream, the soft and warm breath around me was surrounded, and finally made me feel more comfortable, and I fell asleep deeply.

When I woke up, I still couldn't open my eyes, but I first felt a person's breath blowing on my cheeks, that kind of slight **** feeling.

The warm feeling under my body made me stunned, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was being held in Pei Yuanxiu's arms!

He sat on the edge of the carriage, almost holding my upper body in his arms, no wonder I slept so peacefully, he helped me bear all the bumps, and he didn't rest, and when he met my eyes, those slightly red eyes bent a little.

My body stiffened, and I hurriedly struggled to get up: "Childe......"

He didn't stop me, just let go gently and looked at me with a smile: "Did you sleep well?" ”

"......" I bit my lower lip and didn't speak.

"Don't you mind," he looked at me gently, "I just see that you are sleeping sadly, and I want you to be comfortable." ”

“……”

"Don't worry, no one else will see it."

"......" I glanced at him, and stopped talking--Actually, I don't mind anyone else seeing it, he has been seen in and out of Yangzhou with me in and out several times, and I just don't want to---Thinking of this, I raised my head to look at his gentle eyes, and was even more speechless.

At this time, the carriage stopped.

A horse turned back from the front, walked to the side of the carriage, and said respectfully: "Childe, the carriage can't go down the road." ”

When I heard it with him, our spirits were lifted, and Pei Yuanxiu immediately said, "Prepare the horse." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and jumped down, and I hurried to the door, and as soon as he stood still, he turned around and stretched out his hands to me: "Come." ”

I was stunned for a moment, feeling that I still had some sore joints, so I could only obediently stretch out my hand, and he half-helped and half-hugged to get out of the car, only then did I see that the convoy had entered a valley, and the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed on the way to come, and when I raised my eyes, there was already a narrow and rugged mountain road ahead, and the carriage could not move forward at all.

In addition to our carriage, the carriage containing the gold, silver and jewels had just stopped, and a group of men and horses came over, and each of them opened the boxes and took out the contents and distributed them to the jackets in the saddles of each man's saddle.

I was watching, an attendant had already led a tall horse and walked over slowly, Pei Yuanxiu took the reins, turned over and got on the horse.

He was very athletic, and I only watched his coat fly, and he sat firmly on the horse, and then leaned down and stretched out his hand to me.

It's still the same as just now.

I looked up and looked at the rough and steep mountain road ahead, and no matter what my horsemanship was, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold out for long with my current body alone.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, reached out and grabbed his hand, and I felt him pull hard, and I was pulled by him on the back of the horse and sat in his arms.

A hand came over and wrapped firmly around my waist, feeling his breath in my ear, and said softly, "Sit tight." ”

I don't know if it's because his breath is a little strangely hot, and my ears are also burned red by the breath, so I only said softly: "Hmm." ”

As soon as the words fell, I felt my body leaning back, and Pei Yuanxiu had already clamped the horse's belly: "Go!" ”
