Late at night, in a barren mountain temple.

Yan Liu stretched out his hand to stir the somewhat dim fire and said, "So that's why you teleported me directly from the bottom of the water to the town?" ”

Her complexion was pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and her long hair was tied up by strips of cloth torn from her clothes, which should have been tied in such a hurry that she did not have time to remove the little algae from her hair.

With the sound of crunching, the mountain breeze carrying the cold air in the middle of the night blows into the ruined temple.

Yan Liu sneezed, her body trembled, and she hurriedly picked up the coat that was roasted on the fire and draped it on her body.

"Alas, I have never been wronged like this when I am so old."

[Alas, there is no host I bind who does not get lost.] 】

One person is worried about the fire.

This world is a completely ancient world, and the system can't exert any abilities here, and it can only sneak around and make small moves at the moment of binding.

So after the system selected Yan Liu, it waited patiently for sixteen days, until Yan Liu's body floated near the town before binding her, and then quickly teleported it to the edge of the town.

The system was content to think that this time it would not finally get lost.

And then there was an accident.

As soon as Yan Liu entered the town, he met Lu Cai, the maiden confidant of his eldest uncle, and was caused by that person to settle down here.

Then Yan Liu took advantage of the man to go out to boil water, decisively and quickly climbed over the wall and left, and escaped from the town.

After that, it was a whole day of chase, until she fled into the mountains and forests before she completely shook off the people behind her.

The system has been confused until now: [How did the host find out that Lu Cai had a problem? 】

Yan Liu said slowly: "There are drugs in the food he arranged for me, and he is a close confidant of my eldest aunt, he is a person who can leave an impression on me, such a person is not a simple servant."

People like us, cronies say they are inferior, but in these small places...... It's bigger than a serious person.

Do you remember what he said when we first met? ”

The system thought about it for a moment and said, "Miss Table, I finally found you. 】

Yan Liu said lightly: "Yes, they are specifically looking for me."

However, there were not a few servants in the mansion where Lu Cai led me, so I should arrange at least one or twenty maids.

Otherwise, if they do find me, who will serve me?

Could it be that Lu Cai was going to temporarily find a servant woman from the town?

If he didn't have this look, he wouldn't have gotten into that position. ”

Yan Liu thought of his current situation and regretted: "If I knew this was the case, I should have learned how to recognize the way in the first place, instead of relying on the compass to be lazy and not learning." ”

[Is it true that the host can't go back the way it came?] There are many fierce beasts in the mountain, and if you climb this mountain, it will not only take a long time, but also be very unsafe. 】

"Of course not......"

Yan Liu stopped halfway through his words, frowned and listened to the movement outside the temple, and the whistling mountain wind was faintly mixed with the sound of a carriage running over the dead branches.

"Young master, there is a deserted temple ahead."

"Rest there tonight."

The male voice that sounded in the back was just like a mountain spring, tinkling, even if you didn't meet and only listened to this voice, others would have a good impression of the person who came.

When Yan Liu heard this familiar voice, his tense body relaxed, and he rarely felt a little childish, and said, "Of course it's okay." ”

"System, you don't have to worry about us getting lost, I am passing in front of Lu Cai now, and he will salute me respectfully."

[Huh? 】

The system is at a loss, it only receives vague information related to the mission, and it is not even clear how many forces are in this world.

The world consciousness here is very stingy!

Yan Liu stood barefoot, dressed in a mid-coat, and a faded coat in front of the temple and beckoned to visitors.

As soon as the servant over there saw Yan Liu's face, he was about to scream, but his young master was already full of excitement to greet him.

His ghost could only get stuck in his throat.

Yan Liu jumped to his feet and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring me a set of clean clothes, my clothes are all dirty." ”

She had been dead for more than a year, her clothes had been soaked in water for a year, and she had been stained with a lot of dirt when she ran away after that, if it hadn't been replaced, Yan Liu would have thrown it far away.

What? You say she's been soaking in water for a year, and she hasn't drunk anything dirty.

Yan Liu said no.

If you ask again, the system has already cleaned it up.

If you still want to ask, then you will experience the bad temper of an aristocratic girl who is pampered by her elders without a bottom line.

Xiao Jing didn't seem to hear Yan Liu's words, and strode directly towards her, and when she got to the back, she was already running.

Yan Liu frowned, and his young friend seemed to have become stunned.

Xiao Jing directly hugged Yan Liu into his arms, and the force was so great that it seemed to embed her directly into his body, and warm tears were left along his cheeks and submerged into Yan Liu's hair.

"I knew they were liars, how could you die? All of them are scourges that have been left behind for thousands of years. ”

Yan Liu narrowed his eyes dangerously, raised his foot and kicked Xiao Jing's calf, and said, "Who do you say is the scourge?" ”

Xiao Jing heard the familiar words and laughed, first silently laughing, and then the smile gradually expanded, and the loudness of the sound directly shook away the birds perched on the trees outside the temple.

The eldest son of the Lanting Xiao family, when he was young, was praised for having the style of an ancient gentleman, and he was a model of the family in every gesture, and there would be such a time when he disregarded his manners.

Yan Liu looked at him like a fool, and couldn't believe that this was his best friend.

She raised her hand and took clean clothes from the attendants, turned around and went directly into the temple, and changed her clothes after the faded Buddha statue.

[Who is this?] 】

Yan Liu said lightly: "Xiao Jing, the recognized young patriarch of the Xiao family's generation.

The Xiao family is a famous minister, and all the previous patriarchs have worshiped the prime minister, so although he is just a man now, everyone knows that his future is limitless.

Calculating the time, he should go to Beijing to catch the exam.

He must be the champion of today's department, and he will definitely give him this face. ”

The system can see that the host is in a bad mood, but it is a little confused.

Yan Liu turned around and walked out of the Buddha statue and saw that Xiao Jing was already sitting by the fire, which happened to be where she had been sitting before.

Against the backdrop of the orange-red flames, Xiao Jing's face was as white as jade, and he looked up like a fairy descending to earth, and he really deserved the title of the first beautiful man in Daqi.

Every time Yan Liu has a conflict with him, he can't get angry when he sees his face, if he lowers his posture and coaxes a couple of words gently, then Yan Liu will no longer be able to put on a face.

"Xiao Jing, do you know the reason why I went to Beijing?"

Xiao Jing was silent and didn't speak, his entourage had already been sent outside the temple by him, and now there were only the two of them, and the atmosphere became more and more stagnant.

"The elders in the family have long had a tacit understanding, I have a marriage contract with my mother's cousin, and I don't plan to refuse this marriage."

Xiao Jing's hand hidden in his sleeve suddenly clenched, his lips pursed deeper, but he still didn't speak.

Fortunately, Yan Liu didn't need him to speak, so he just said to himself: "If it's me, it's the best, but if not...... I also hope you don't like me anymore.

When you first met me when you were a child, you told you the origin of my name, do you remember? ”

Xiao Jing's face was even more ugly, and Yan Liu was not in a hurry, just sat and waited for him, as if he could sit here until dawn if he didn't answer.

After a long time, a hoarse male voice sounded: "Yan is your father's surname, and Liu is your grandmother's surname, which means that they will cultivate you as the son of the Yan family."

You have the right to inherit the throne first, and you will take over the power of both your grandmother and your father's family. ”

Yan Liu's face softened a lot, and he said gently: "Yes, so it's impossible for us, and the mistake should be stopped here for me." ”

Xiao Jing lowered his head, yes, he always knew.

So he hasn't declared his liking to it.

So he accepted her to Beijing at that time.

But...... She died on the way to Beijing!!
