Chapter 22: Meat to the Mouth

Xiao Yunyan and He Lianyi walked a long way, and when they knew that there were no pursuers, they stopped. Helian Yi waited anxiously for Shen Liuxiang, and waited for a while, but he didn't see them catch up, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious. Xiao Yunyan comforted: "Don't worry, with Luo Hong and Luo Hu here, nothing will happen." ”

Helian Yi was relieved when he heard him say this. The more I thought about what happened to the other party, the more confused I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. Only then did she take a closer look at the clothes on her body, although they were not very luxurious, but the workmanship was extremely fine, the color and embroidery were also elegant, and the material was not like what ordinary people could have. The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and I couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you think it's weird, the two women in the private room, the three big men, and the masked man who appeared opposite the restaurant, who are these people?" Why help us? Do they know each other? ”

Xiao Yunyan smiled: "Don't you understand yet, the target of those Ning Jun is not us at all." ”

Helian Yi remembered that he was wearing the girl's clothes but was still recognized by them at a glance, so he was convinced: "Yes, their target must be those two girls." Those men came before us, and if they were together, they would be exactly five. It seems that the young girl searched by the Ning army at the pass should be the girl in the restaurant. However, the masked man on the other side of the restaurant seemed to be prepared, but they seemed to be sincere in helping us out. ”

The two were still talking, and suddenly, Xiao Yunyan heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and there were no less than dozens of people, Xiao Yunyan said again: "Oh no, they are chasing after me." Although they knew that they were not chasing themselves, but because Helian Yi was still a wanted criminal by Daning at this time, the two had to hurry up and urge the horse to whip away.

"Ahead is Tang Hao's pass, and I happen to have a customs clearance document on me, why don't we avoid it for a while?"

Helian Yi agreed with his idea, and also wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible, "It's okay, let's just go to Tang Yu to take shelter for a few days." ”

"As for Yangling, after the army is stationed, we still have a lot of opportunities. Don't worry, I will definitely let you see Gongsun Zhi again as soon as possible. ”

At that moment, the two hit it off, and Xiao Yunyan Pegasus went straight to the pass. He entered the Tang Yu realm very smoothly, and seeing that the group of people did not follow, Xiao Yunyan slowed down his horse. Helian Yi only felt that today's events were all kinds of unbelievable: "It's strange, there are only two of us, and they are so powerful, why can they let us go so easily?" ”

After walking for another half a day, the road became more and more deserted, and everywhere I passed, I saw wild bears and marmots from time to time, but there was no one to see.

At night, the moonlight was exceptionally bright, and the two were still riding their horses all the way. Tang Yu is a nomadic people, and the people all live in pursuit of water and grass, but this place is barren, Xiao Yunyan knows that there must be no people within this radius, and there is no food to eat, so he has to continue to move forward.

It's getting darker, the wind is getting stronger, and it's getting colder. Both of them were wearing clothes in spring and autumn, but the weather here was getting more and more like a cold winter, Xiao Yunyan heard Helianyi's teeth chattering, and he stopped and turned back to Helianyi behind him: "Hold me tight when it's cold, and sleep on my back when you're sleepy." ”

Helian Yi was still staring, and Xiao Yunyan said: "You can't let yourself freeze to death, rely on me." ”

Helian Yi finally pillowed his head on his back, and his body warmed up a lot. After another journey, he finally fell asleep.

Xiao Yunyan continued to run all the way, and suddenly, among the dark mountain passes in the distance, dots of green light loomed. Xiao Yunyan followed the lights and drove away, but never saw the traces of those lights again.

Xiao Yunyan felt a little strange, and at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a black shadow moving on the mountain road at the corner in front of him. He hurried forward again, but before he could get there, he found the black shadow slowly falling. When I got to the scene, I found that it was a newborn fawn.

At this time, he was extremely hungry, and looking at the food brought to his mouth, he didn't have time to think about it, and called out softly: "Yi'er, Yi'er." ”

Helian Yi was sleeping very peacefully and sweetly, and was shouted a few times by Xiao Yunyan, and reluctantly removed his head from his back, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yunyan pointed to the deer in front of him and said, "Get off the horse quickly, there is something to eat." ”

"yes, okay." Helian Yi got off the horse, Xiao Yunyan looked at the deer, a cut was bitten between the neck, although there was still a faint breath, but it was already in a state of dying.

Helian Yi asked, "How did you get hurt?" ”

"Looks like it was bitten by other beasts."

Helian Yi was a little frightened, "Does that mean there are other fierce beasts around here?" ”

"Don't worry about it for now, this head is small, but it's enough for us to have a full meal. Otherwise, you won't have the strength to deal with the beast. Xiao Yunyan picked up a bunch of dry branches, lit a fire, skinned the deer, and roasted it on the fire. After the two finally filled their stomachs, Xiao Yunyan said again: "Just rely on me to sleep first." ”

Helian Yi shook his head suddenly, "Didn't Your Highness say that there are fierce beasts around here?" ”

"Silly, where are there no fierce beasts in this barren mountain range? Don't worry, it's fine. Xiao Yunyan smiled and took off his robe and wrapped it around He Lianyi.

When Helian Yi heard him say this, he trusted him inexplicably, leaned on him, and soon fell asleep again. Xiao Yunyan was also too tired, but for a while, he was also snoring like thunder.

The two rested like this for nearly two hours or so, and Helian Yi gradually woke up from a cold, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that the fire had been extinguished. She got up and saw that Xiao Yunyan was only wearing a single coat and curled up, so she put his robe back on him.

In the moonlight, his face was cold and resolute. Helian Yi looked at him, thinking of what had happened since she met him, and suddenly a thought flashed to her, if she hadn't been responsible for recovering the country, they wouldn't have met, if she never knew that there was such a person as him, then how dull her life should be? In a flash, she was shocked by this idea of herself, it turned out that she had unconsciously forgotten that he was the prince of the enemy country, that he was also burdened with the blood debt of his own family and country, that she had forgotten the words of Master Xuan, and that she had forgotten her repeated promises to Master Xuan. But what will happen to them in the future? If one day he becomes the crown prince as he wishes and captures Daning, then what will happen to Ning Guo and become the bag of Liang Guo, is this what she wants? No, it's not, what she wants is to restore the country, even if she can really become the queen of the Great Liang in the future, this is not her father's will. For a while, Helian Yi repeatedly asked in his heart: Master Xuan, what do you want me to do? What should I do?

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a long howl, apparently a wolf or something. Helian Yi was so frightened that she turned pale and unconsciously snuggled up to Xiao Yunyan's side. After another while, the long whistle sounded again, and Helian Yi patted Xiao Yunyan, "Your Highness, Your Highness." ”

Xiao Yunyan didn't dare to sleep deeply in his heart, but when he heard Helianyi's low call, he woke up instantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Listen."

There was another long howl in the distance. Xiao Yunyan woke up suddenly, remembering the green glimmer he had seen before, and the injury on the deer's body, his mind was extremely sober: "Could it be a wolf?" ”
