Chapter 24: Assassination on the way
After staying in Ji Mansion for a few days, the affairs in the City Lord's Mansion piled up, and Baili Lian couldn't stay any longer, so he immediately set off to return to the house after saying goodbye to Ji Xiang.
Qingzhu told Ji Xiang about visiting the night market that night, Ji Xiang was very proud, and Baili Lian was willing to treat Ji Qingyuan like this, which showed that Ji Qingyuan was not low in his heart, and the probability of success of his plan in the future would only be higher.
"Finally home." Ji Qingyuan slept in the carriage all afternoon and woke up to stretch.
"Prefer the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Nonsense." Ji Qingyuan lifted the curtain, "Why is it dark?" "She didn't sleep that long.
Jifu is not home, but the city lord's mansion is.
"Because of me?" He leaned over her. The thin lips were close to her forehead.
"Shameless." Ji Qingyuan glanced at Baili Lian, but she didn't deny that it was because of him. She has no feelings for Ji Fu, and she doesn't like it very much for a few days, so she is very awkward. Every time I saw Ji Xiang, I didn't know what to say, and it was even more difficult to meet Lu Ziqian from time to time, and Lu Ziqian's eyes stared at her numbly.
"Shameless?" He pulled her into his arms and pecked her in the neck, his burning breath wandering around, "Madame is hinting at me?" β
Ji Qingyuan shrunk up: "You...... Why? β
"What do you think I'm going to do, huh?" The slender fingertips caressed the slender white jade porcelain neck little by little.
"I tell you, you dare...... Oops......"
Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, Baili Lian rolled over Ji Qingyi, and the folding fan in his hand stretched out the bamboo arrow that shot into the carriage.
At this time, the sound of fighting outside the carriage was endless, thinking that they had been ambushed, and there were still many people on the other side, and the phoenix owl was entangled with the assassin outside.
Ji Qingyuan's heart sank, the common routine of going out and being attacked in TV dramas, if you don't die, you will be injured, what should I do, she hasn't lived enough, and the happiest period of her life has not begun. Compared with the safety of life, go to his love, go to his Ji Xiang, nothing is a matter.
"Young City Lord, go quickly!" Feng Yu's eager voice disappeared into the sound of sword strikes.
Baili Lian said in a low voice: "Hold me tight." β
Ji Qingyuan knew that she was in a dangerous situation now, she shouldn't be a burden to him, it was his love to save her, it was normal not to save her, she thought that her status in his heart was not so high.
"Hmm." She put her hand around his waist and didn't say much.
Baili Lian broke out of the door with her in his arms, put his toes on the horse's head, and jumped to the woods on the side. With the whirring wind and the sound of bamboo arrows cutting through the air in his ears, Ji Qingyuan could feel the light skills of Baili Lian, and carrying her did not affect his speed at all.
In the darkness, she couldn't really see it, but her instinct told her that his elegant and shapely thin lips must be pursed at this time.
The two shuttled among the bamboo arrows, and she was very scared, but also very relieved, because he was there.
"You were shot?" As soon as he let go of his hand holding her, he stepped on the tree less frequently.
"It's okay, get rid of them."
"Either you run away alone, and I'll lure them away."
"You can't, you're stupid." As he spoke, the strength with which he held her tightened again.
Baili Lian is right, she is indeed not smart, but she is even more afraid of implicating him. She doesn't know martial arts, and she can only rely on him in case of danger. What should she do if she leaves him in the future.
After a few jumps, Baili Lian stopped by a small stream with Ji Qingyuan in his arms, he needed to treat his wounds, and the white moonlight hit the two of them.
He let go of her and sat down by the stream to untie his shirt: "Get rid of them, don't worry. β
"You've got an arrow in the arm." When she ran for her life, she only noticed that he was hit by an arrow, but she didn't want to be in her right arm.
Baili Lian used his hand to stop the bleeding from the two big points on his body, and said lightly: "Will you pull out arrows?" β
"I don't dare." She sat down in front of him.
"I'm not going to be able to get hurt myself." He raised his eyes.
"I γγγγγγ" Ji Qingyuan hesitated, she has experienced this as a modern person, she has to die or live to kill a fish, and she tosses for a long time.
Baili Lian was not reluctant, and stretched out his left hand to pull out the arrow. "Wait." Ji Qingyuan pressed his left hand, "I'll come, give me the dagger." β
"There is Mrs. Lao, remember to lighten it, I am afraid of pain for my husband."
"When are you still telling jokes?" Ji Qingyuan carefully cut the clothes next to the bamboo arrow to expose the middle arrow part, so that the moonlight was bright enough to facilitate her to treat the wound.
"Does it hurt? I'll take it a little lighter if it hurts. Just looking at the wound, she felt pain, and her heart was extremely sour.
"It doesn't hurt." He stared at her focused brow, the pain on his face palpable, he didn't have to be hit with his skills, but he wanted to know more about her reaction to his injury.
Ji Qingyuan swallowed her saliva, trembling her hand and holding the bamboo arrow, the first time she pulled out the arrow, she was very worried.
"What is the hand shaking, remember to be fast when you pull it out."
Ji Qingyuan choked: "I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it out." β
"Treat me as your father's killer and use all your strength."
"It's better to treat you as a negative person, I can be ruthless." She was amused by his words and replied casually.
Negative man? Does she care more about him abandoning her?
"Think about it, you are pregnant, but I divorced you and married someone else's girl, that girl is more beautiful than you, and her figure is better than youγγγγγγ"
Even though she knew that he was joking, she was not happy when she heard him marry someone else and praise others, so she clenched the arrow and pulled it out one by one.
"Hissγγγγγγ" Baili Lian inhales.
"It hurts? I'll blow it for you. Ji Qingyuan secretly blamed himself for being too heavy, and leaned over to blow on the wound.
He looked at her silly movements and laughed: "Madame, it's better to kiss me, it's better than blowing to relieve the pain." β
"Shut up!" She glanced at him, cut off the hem of her skirt with a sharp dagger, and dipped it in the stream water to wash his wounds.
Ji Qingyuan took the skirt cut into strips and wrapped it around Baili Lian's arm, until she couldn't see any blood oozing out, she quickly tied a knot.
"Reach out." She walked around behind him and put on his underwear and outershirt for him, but fortunately he didn't wear much in the summer recently. Bai Li Lian obediently opened his hand and let her move.
Fastening his belt, Ji Qingyuan climbed Baili Lian's shoulder and stood on tiptoe to kiss him lightly on the lips, Bai Li Lian was stunned.
"Thank you." Her forehead pressed against his chest, preventing him from spotting his crimson cheeks.
"Go find a cave to rest." He came back to his senses and pulled her to the cave, but she couldn't spend the night by the stream, she couldn't stand it.
The two entered the woods again, and the moonlight was mostly blocked by the dense branches, and their vision began to blur. In the dark, people's hearing will be more sensitive than usual, and those rustling sounds make Ji Qingyuan recall the horror movies he watched.
"Baili Lian, I'm afraid."
"I'm here." He hugged the ground tighter.
"Can you see the way?"
"It's fine. Are you afraid of the dark? β
"Hmm."
Baili Lian took out the fire fold on his body, and made a simple torch from the scattered branches and dead leaves, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings, and the scenery could be vaguely seen. The two of them are deep in the dense woods, and there is no way to go.
The two walked for about half an hour to find the so-called cave, Ji Qingyuan pulled the corner of Baili Lian's clothes and didn't dare to go in, sure enough, it's not a good thing to watch too many horror movies.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even with one hand, most people are no match for me. He led her into the cave with a torch.
The cave is just an ordinary cave, uninhabited, and the open area is a little cold. Baili Lian found some wood and made a fire on the ground, and Ji Qingyuan sat down next to the fire.
