"Qingchen, are you awake?"

"How's your body recovering?"

"I didn't expect the fish in this prison to be so fat, and after only a while, I caught two of them, haha-"

Lu An was in a good mood, handed the two fish to Qiao'er to stew, and returned to the shuttle tree by the tent with Qingchen.

Seeing the two walking hand in hand, Elder Bayan shook his head secretly and quietly sat down not far away.

"If Mr. Lu hadn't arrived in time, Qingchen would have died in the desert long ago, thank you."

After a day of recuperation, although she was still a little haggard, she was finally a lot more energetic, Lu An looked at her with a smile and felt an indescribable calm.

Unlike when he was in the Light Smoke Pavilion before, at this time, Lu An didn't dodge anymore, just looked at it like this, as if he was enjoying a beautiful scenery.

Qingchen's face flushed slightly, and he changed the topic, "Mr. Lu can come here, he must have recovered his free body as he wished, right?"

The county lord's sister is kind-hearted, how is she? ”

"She's fine." Lu An didn't retract his gaze, and briefly talked about what happened after Qingchen left the capital.

At the end, Fang Cai asked, "After Qiao'er went back, I told you what happened to you, what happened?" ”

"How could anyone hunt you down?"

"And-"

Lu An looked at Elder Bayan a few meters away, "Who are they?" ”

"Ahem!"

Elder Bayan had been pricking up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two, and he coughed heavily twice at this moment.

Qingchen shook his head with a faint smile, stretched out his hand and beckoned, and Elder Bayan walked over.

"Mr. Lu, this is Elder Bayan, and he is also a powerful minister representing the Qiuzi Kingdom."

He also pointed to the remaining twenty people, "They belong to the countries of the Western Regions, and they are also some important ministers of each country. ”

After the introduction, Qingchen said to Elder Bayan again, "Mr. Lu is a person that Qingchen trusts, and he is also a good friend that Qingchen made in the Central Plains.

If it weren't for him, Qingchen would have died long ago.

So, Elder Bayan, there are some things that I don't want to hide from Mr. Lu anymore. ”

"But......" Elder Bayan obviously still had a lot of doubts, and looked at the capable warriors under General Pu around him, "Mr. Lu is really just an ordinary person?"

In that case, how can there be so many brave and invincible attendants? ”

For this, Qingchen is also a little curious.

Lu An explained with a smile, "General Pu, they are not my attendants, they are just helpers I hire.

By the way, Qingchen, you should know Lingfeng, right?

General Pu and them were found by Lingfeng. ”

"I see." Qingchen nodded.

Elder Bayan suddenly lifted his spirits, "I didn't expect such a powerful team of warriors to be hired!"

Miss, if Mr. Lu or that General Pu are willing to help, we will definitely be able to get out of here and return to Qiuzi!

It's a big deal, just pay them more, you say? ”

When Qingchen heard this, he was also moved.

Lu An instantly understood, "This matter shouldn't be difficult.

I can see that although General Pu has a cold temperament, he has always been obedient to Lingfeng, and when the time comes, just let Lingfeng help say it. ”

At this time, Lingfeng also came over and asked with a smile, "What do you want me to help with?" ”

Lu An immediately repeated Elder Bayan's meaning, "Lingfeng, why don't you go and ask General Pu to see if you can escort Qingchen back to Qiuzi with us?" ”

"I'm afraid not."

What Lu An didn't expect was that Mu Lingfeng didn't think about it and refused directly.

"Xianggong, when I asked General Pu and them to come over, there was only one task, which was to escort you all the way and ensure your personal safety.

Now that we have found the light dust girl, we can be regarded as having completed the task, and General Pu has also completed the task. ”

"Isn't it a big deal to pay him more?"

Mu Lingfeng shook his head, "It's not a matter of remuneration, but General Pu also has to return to Suizhou earlier, after all, ...... He has other important things to do! ”

Hearing this, Qingchen was obviously a little disappointed, "In this case, Mr. Lu doesn't have to be strong, besides, it's best to rely on our own strength to solve the matter here, Elder Bayan, do you say yes?" ”

Elder Bayan nodded sadly, "What Miss said is extremely true, but in this situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to leave!" ”

Seeing that Mu Lingfeng directly refused to help, Lu An was very unhappy.

But when he heard what Elder Bayan said just now, his eyes immediately lit up, "That's right! Lingfeng, you hurry up and invite General Pu here, let's discuss together how to get out of the predicament in front of you! ”

"But-" Before Mu Lingfeng could speak, Lu An added again, "Even if he doesn't want to help Qingchen, at least, we just want to go back to the Central Plains, and we have to find a safe way out, right?" Just go. ”

Lu An made up his mind, for the time being, he stabilized Pu Zhen first, and after taking Qingchen and them out of this ghost place, he would think of a way to fool around, and say that he would help Qingchen return to Qiuzi!

After a while, Mu Lingfeng came over with a dead face Pu Zhen.

"Pu-"

As soon as Lu An said a word, he was stopped by Pu Zhen and looked at Qingchen indifferently, "Girl, who are you?"

If you want us to help, you have to get to the bottom of it, right? ”

In fact, long before Mu Lingfeng came over, Qingchen was planning to talk to Lu An about it.

Since Pu Zhen asked at this time, Qingchen just took the opportunity to explain.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, when I was in the Central Plains before, I was very helpful, and I should have repaid myself, but Qingchen insisted on coming back, and I really had to suffer......"

"Miss—" Elder Bayan's concern for Qingchen could be seen by anyone, and I am afraid that only the relationship between father and daughter can be compared.

Of course, just by looking at their appearances, they know that the two can never be father and daughter, but more like a superior-subordinate relationship.

"Mr. Lu, my young lady is the Holy Maiden of Qiuzi."

"What? The Holy Maiden of Qiuzi? Not only Lu An, but Mu Lingfeng and Pu Zhen were stunned when they heard this.

"That's what the outside world calls Queen Qiuzi."

Ba Yan continued, "It's a pity that my young lady has not yet ascended to the throne, because of a coup d'état, she fled to her homeland and has been living in exile ever since. ”

"No wonder." Mu Lingfeng looked at Qingchen again and muttered in a low voice, "No wonder when I first saw Qingchen girl, I always had a strange feeling, whether it was facing the second prince or the county lord, I was always so calm." ”

Lu An also nodded secretly.

As Mu Lingfeng said, Qingchen has always had a cold temperament, and he would rather die than give in when he was in Qingyan Pavilion.

Now that I think about it, it is precisely because of her own identity and the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders that she has developed this natural temperament.

Although Pu Zhen was surprised, it was only an instantaneous thing, and he reacted quickly.

"The Holy Maiden of Guizi? Even so, what about them? ”

Pointing at Elder Bayan, "Lingfeng said just now, you people are all important ministers of the Western Regions, why would you work so hard to save the future queen of Qiuzi?" ”

"That doesn't seem reasonable, does it?"
