After that day's conversation, Chu Jinmo didn't say anything more to me, and just took me to hurry day and night. Along the way, he was very familiar with the terrain of the desert, where to rest, where to have water, and where to supply food.

The more I see the talent he exudes on weekdays, the more sure I am that it was wrong for the Empress Dowager Yaotian to choose Chu Anguo as the heir, how could such a talent be buried?

If he can grasp the power of Yuexi, he will definitely govern Yuexi in an orderly manner. Maybe he doesn't need to rely on the ethereal Huo Yong, he can re-shake Yuexi by himself.

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Yaotian is not a good stubble, cutting her wrist is like cutting cabbage, once a woman like this makes up her mind in her heart, she will definitely not be easily shaken.

I shook my head, I seemed to care too much about Chu Jinmo. It's already my bottom line for me to help him rescue Whitewater, and I can't do more for him.

Because I have more important things to do.

Huo Qu's disease.

This night we rested in a desert, Chu Jinmo lit a fire and asked me to rest, and he came to keep vigil.

I lay flat on the ground, wearing Chu Jinmo's cloak, looking up at the brilliant stars in the night sky. The stars seem to be so close that they seem to be within reach.

"Did you sleep?" Chu Jinmo asked softly.

"Not yet"

"I... I want to ask you a question. ”

I rolled over to face him, and he was sitting about two meters away from me, and I said, "What's the problem?" ”

Chu Jinmo played with a dagger in his hand and said lightly: "Did you go to Huo Quai's illness the day you were caught by me?" ”

I was stunned, he actually saw what was on my mind. I rolled my eyes, not sure how to answer.

Seeing that I was silent, Chu Jinmo said softly, "You secretly ran out to find Huo Quai, right?" In fact, I should have guessed what kind of feelings would make a woman go thousands of miles alone to make a danger, or that this person has an extremely important position in your heart. ”

I closed my eyes and took a long breath, Chu Jinmo's words hit my heart.

Thousands of miles of desert, I am a woman on the road alone, those days when I was tied to the back of a horse and running, my blood-soaked feet, the rainstorm on the grassland, the soldiers of Baishui City are coming to the city... Each of these things almost killed me.

But I miraculously survived every time, in order to see Huo Quai.

I couldn't let him go anymore.

At this time, when Chu Jinmo said it, his heart was full of tenderness, and it was broken into pieces of petals and bloomed.

And where is Huo Quzhi now? What are you doing?

Chu Jinmo's voice seemed to come from far away, "If you want, I can go and beg my mother not to let you marry An Guo." Maybe one day my mother will let me inherit the throne, or maybe I won't be able to take the throne for the rest of my life. But do you want to..."

I sat up abruptly and said, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Chu Jinmo saw that my expression was wrong, listened with his ears, the blood on his face faded, and said, "It's a wolf pack!" ”

Wolves! The kings of the desert, they have sharp minions and terrifying speed.

The most terrifying thing about them is that they act collectively, and the wolves can easily swallow up the caravan in the desert, leaving no bones left.

And at this moment, many wolf howls came from all around, from far and near, and there were not a few of them.

I quickly got up from the ground and went to lead the horse.
