Chapter 18: Lonely Men and Widows!
After galloping for dozens of miles, Ye Shun finally escaped from the encirclement of everyone and left Jianning City. Taking advantage of the darkness of night, they came to a relatively safe and remote place.
Ye Shun fled in a panic, he didn't know exactly what the location was, and the general direction seemed to be fleeing towards the location of Zhuting Town.
The reason why it stopped in this place was because the fast horse really couldn't run anymore and needed a break to continue running. After all, it has two people on its body.
At this time, Ye Shun was not relieved because he was far away from Jianning City, on the contrary, he had an indescribable sense of unease. When he was in Jianning City, he felt a breath of nothingness, oppressing him.
But now, he has left Jianning City for dozens of miles, and this kind of aura still exists, which makes Ye Shun very unhappy. It's good that he used to be the Emperor of the Southern Darkness, but he was actually disturbed by this unknown breath, and to put it simply, his own strength was too low, so he was only in the intermediate stage of the Qi cultivation period, which was one level lower than this Xia Lili.
The daughter of the city lord who was held hostage seemed extraordinarily quiet at this moment, and there was no trace of resistance. At the mercy of Ye Shun, the two sat on horseback ambiguously, and the bumps along the way made Xia Lili's ears red.
"This waste of the third prince, really, what do you want to do if my eldest lady is still in this kind of place where no one sees people and ghosts? Could it be that this guy is going to be hard? Xia Lili watched Ye Shun jump off the horse, and her heart was even more cranky. His eyes involuntarily looked at the third prince who was still a little handsome, and after calming down, he continued to pretend to be dead and motionless.
At this time, Ye Shun didn't know what the city lord's daughter was thinking, Ye Shun was thinking about how to set up camp now. It's so late today, and the fast horse probably won't be able to run for a while. What kind of broken horse, only ran for dozens of miles before he was tired and lay down, and he really wanted to pull out the guy who chose the horse and shoot him for half an hour, in order to vent his hatred.
Originally, Ye Shun thought, how could this fast horse go, he had to run directly to Zhuting Town in one go, but he turned off the fire directly on the way. In this wilderness, where to find supplies, it's a real headache, and there is a big girl on horseback.
"Hey, get up, don't play dead, think of a way, we're going to spend the night here today!" After Ye Shun searched around, he found some branches and firewood, and shouted to Xia Lili not far away.
"You are a big man, and you still want me to help such a weak woman, really, and you hurry up and find a way to send me back to Jianning City, I don't want to spend the night in this kind of ghost place!" Xia Lili got off the horse and said to Ye Shun angrily.
"I said you, we are grasshoppers on a rope now, if you don't want to do anything, we will have to freeze to death here tonight. Besides, you're an archer at the advanced stage of the Qi training stage, what kind of weak woman are you! Ye Shun was angry with Xia Lili's words. But in line with the principle that good men don't fight with women, he symbolically replied a few words.
"You didn't kidnap me to this damn place, so you're responsible! Tell me, people are very afraid of this wilderness! Xia Lili said shyly, staring at Ye Shun twice from time to time.
"Please! City lord daughter, can you speak normally, I have goosebumps now. When you were in the ring, you were a heroine! Ye Shun, a straight man of steel, is such a big beauty in front of him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't make good use of it, he actually took the initiative to talk back to the other party. I deserve to be single for so long.
"Hmph, if you hadn't taken the initiative to show weakness and engage in a sneak attack, I would have fallen into your hands? If my father wasn't the city lord of Jianning City, would you be able to escape from Jianning City so easily? Xia Lili asked loudly, and the tone suddenly changed again.
"You... You grew out of the ice, right? Ye Shun stopped talking, and the voice that came out became smaller and smaller, and finally he lit the firewood of those branches alone, and suddenly the temperature around him rose. It's damn cold, and when it snowed a few days ago, I didn't feel how cold it was, and after the snow melted, it became extremely cold.
As the firewood was lit, the two of them roasted around the firewood, and the fast horse next to them lay beside the fire, gasping weakly.
"It's not that I'm angry with you, I told you to be angry with me, and asked you to sneak attack me, which made me so embarrassed now!" Xia Lili muttered quietly, her eyes staring at Ye Shun even more deadly, the culprit of all this is this third prince. But when she thought of having such a handsome little prince accompanying her in the wilderness, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Hey, I say, what are you muttering alone? Let me tell you, tonight, the two of us take turns resting. Otherwise, the firewood will go out, and we won't be able to sleep! Ye Shun picked up a lot of firewood and slowly added it to the fire, the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, warm, but not cold. Ye Shun looked at Xia Lili who was muttering, and asked out loud!
"What's the matter with you, I don't care, I won't take the turn. You're responsible for me! Xia Lili lay beside Kuaima, her eyes squinted and said, it seems that this little girl is tired.
"Please, you're now a hostage I'm hostage, you're a little bit of a hostage, okay! Feed... Ye Shun was just about to say a few words to Xia Lili, but found that this little girl was actually asleep. One man and one horse, just leaning on each other and falling asleep. This made Ye Shun completely speechless, and he couldn't wake up the little girl. Come on, you have to come by yourself, who calls yourself a man?
"Whew, whew! Call! Xia Lili's breathing was one after another, very rhythmic, and this little girl slept quite soundly. At this time, Ye Shun had to carefully add this firewood to ensure that the flames in the fire would not be extinguished. Seeing that this little girl was asleep, Ye Shun still put her clothes on her body, how to say, she also coerced her to come here and suffer with herself, otherwise, how could she be the daughter of a city lord and sleep in the open!
"Forget it, since you can't sleep peacefully, let's take this opportunity to practice well. It's also considered to be recharged! Because of the need for a vigil, Ye Shun just gently closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about the sadness he had come from this journey. Actually, he is also quite tired, and he also wants to rest for a while, but at this moment, he still has to fight his spirits!
