After being reprimanded by the three masters, the bandit was obviously in a depressed mood.

"What the hell, it's such a big place, why can't you see it anywhere!"

"So many people were in ambush and told them to run away!"

The cave was pitch black, the straw sandals were sloppy, and the bandits scolded and bowed their heads, but they saw a pile of bones in Bai Sensen, I don't know if it was an animal or a human.

He shuddered, and suddenly felt that this cave was a little dangerous, and it must be some kind of beast's lair.

Looking further in, the darkness was bottomless, and it was already night, but now it was completely dark, ghostly, and there was no trace of life or other people in the place where the torches reflected.

In the area where Su Jiao and Wei Jingji were, he could already see the straw sandals that the men were wearing, and if he walked a little further, he could see the end of the cave around the corner.

She gripped the scabbard with a little force.

The bandit hesitated, scolded to embolden, and walked inside.

At this moment, another voice came from outside the cave.

The tone of the three masters was very impatient, "Are you done looking for it!" ”

"Where's Ma Liu? Are you done with the cave? ”

The sound of everyone stepping through the grass came closely, and the bandits who had entered the cave were stunned and ran out.

"I've found a three-master! No one! ”

Another bandit spoke, "Are you mistaken, the third master, that man is clearly running in the direction of the east, how can we find anyone here?" ”

"You know the! That's just a little minion, his master has been hit by my arrow, how can he be healed so quickly! They must have changed their clothes while we weren't looking, this is a diversion from the mountain! ”

The third master was so angry that he broke an arrow in his hand, "That girl is gone, the two of them must have run together, they definitely can't run far, continue to chase me!" Whether or not the blood revenge of the brothers can be avenged, there is only one chance today! When the lackeys of the court come, there will be no more chance! ”

Everyone echoed one after another, thinking of the tragic situation of the river of blood flowing in the village, and they were also sad and indignant for the many evils.

"Don't worry, let's go find it separately!"

“……”

The sound faded away.

Su Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and when the voice was completely gone, she wanted to climb down from Wei Jingji, because she was taking care of his wounds, so she seemed a little tiptoeing.

"They should still be around here, I'm afraid we won't be able to go out tonight." She thought for a moment and said, "But someone checked this just now, and they shouldn't come in again." ”

Wei Jingji hummed, looked at Su Yao's eyes but didn't leave.

Su Yao thought of what had just happened, and was silent for a moment.

Just when she thought Wei Jingji would say something, he put down his sword and closed his eyes.

"I'll sleep a little longer."

Su Yao got closer and found that the young man's face seemed to be worse than in the morning, but when he talked to her, she didn't hear anything unusual, and if there was light on his face now, it would be difficult to hide his paleness.

She nodded, and stooped out of the cave, where they were gone, and would they come here again for a while, and she might be able to find some water.

Luckily, he quickly found water, and Su Yao washed the jade bottle that had been filled with medicine, drank enough of it himself, and then put the water into the bottle and brought it back.

After drinking the water, for the sake of safety, Su Yao still sat in the innermost part of the cave, next to Wei Jingji.

The next day, the temperature of the sun came through the stone wall.

Su Miao opened her sleepy eyes and moved her fingers, but she didn't feel half stiff and uncomfortable in her body, and she felt as if she was lying on the silk quilt in the bedroom and fell asleep. Night.

This realization woke her up completely, and when she looked at it again, she finally understood why.

Because she was lying on Wei Jingji's body.

Su Yao hurriedly looked at his wound, and when she saw that the blood stains on the wound had not expanded, she calmed down a little.

I immediately thought about it, when she fell asleep last night, she was obviously sitting next to Wei Jingji, how could she wake up and climb on top of him.

Perhaps she was afraid of the cold at night, and subconsciously leaned towards him, thanks to not crushing his wounds.

The temperature of the sun was a little warm, and it seemed that it had been dawning for a while, and while Wei Jingji was not awake, Su Yao walked out of the cave, and was hesitating whether to take him away, when there was a slight shout.

"Nope!"

She was startled and listened attentively.

"Not here!"

"Find it! If the prince and the county lord have a half-point difference, everyone will have to be buried together! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find Your Highness! ”

"Your Highness! Princess! ”

Hearing this, Su Jiao's heart was slightly happy, and when she just wanted to agree, she calmed down again, whether it was the man who asked or the man who answered, their voices were like a hissing sound pulled out by a broken erhu, and the accent was also a little strange.

Sure enough, after a while, the familiar sound of cursing was heard again.

"Is that kid crazy, he actually said that the person we are holding is the county lord of Yongjia, and the one who was shot by the three masters was His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"It's not uncommon for a hard bone to say anything, no matter what kind of county lord and prince he is, even if it is!"

The people who were caught by them took a bite of His Royal Highness the Prince, and said that if they dared to touch that young man, the saint would punish them for the nine clans!

Where did they come from? Who has a concern at home and still runs to the mountains to be a bandit!

Even if there are nine clans, they can't beat them with eight poles, and they will die! The prince gave them a funeral, and it was not a loss!

"That's right, the three masters are right! Now that we have shot and wounded the prince, there is no way out, sooner or later we will die! ”

Su Jiao felt a chill down her spine when she heard this, judging from the source of the sound, they were not far from them, if she had made a little noise just now, she would definitely be discovered by this group of people.

She carefully touched the wall and sat back again, not resting or eating anything for several days, and her spirit was tense, and she was almost at the limit.

This time, the menacing bandits did not linger as long as they had done last night, but seemed to be in a hurry, as if they wanted to catch a cushion in the process of escaping, and after a while, the outside of the cave was quiet.

Listening to the meaning of Liang Yuan's words, Mo Xianjia is rushing here with people, and now he should have arrived at this mountain, and the fate of this group of bandits has come to an end.

She simply continued to sleep to reduce the taste of starvation.

If Mo Xianjia hadn't found them yet, then she would have to go out to find something to eat after a while, and in the daytime, lighting a fire would not attract attention, otherwise she wouldn't even have the strength to help Wei Jingji escape.

When she woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw many familiar faces.

Bai Lu, Mo Xianjia, and Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan took the lead and led a group of people to find the place where she left.

Su Yao was completely relieved, and her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

……

Back at the inn, Su Yao slept all morning, although he slept well at night, his spirit was still a little lacking.

Wei Jing was extremely injured and could not ride in the carriage, so they could only continue to stay for a few more days.

But with the example of the mountain bandits, Tang Taishou chartered the entire inn, and sent thousands of people to be stationed outside the inn with trepidation, for fear of another accident.

The innkeeper was also very respectful, lest there be a place where the hospitality was not good.

Bai Lu prepared the meal early, and as soon as she woke up, she ordered someone to bring the food in.

Su Yao ate and asked, "How is Wei Jingji now?" ”

Bai Lu seemed to know that she would have a question, so she was ready and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not woken up yet, and the doctor said that the medicine is timely and the treatment is very clean, and it only needs to rest for a while." ”

Wei Jingji had seen more serious injuries than this in the barracks, and he had become a doctor after a long illness, and his methods were also very simple and decisive.

When Su Yao heard this, her mood finally lightened a lot, and she asked again, "What about Ru An and Shi Mingjing?" ”

Bai Lu said: "Miss Ru'an fell from the mountain and fell into the lake, because she broke her foot, she swam slowly, and she didn't have time to change her clothes when she went ashore, so she ran away with her wet clothes. At night, now infected with the wind cold, the doctor said that he would not see the wind for two days, and Miss Ruan herself said that she had a headache when the wind blew, and she might not be able to come to your house for a few days. ”

"And Miss Shi, Miss Shi ran down from the mountains, and not long after she met His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness asked her to send her back, but ......" She was halfway through her words, and she stopped talking a little.

When Su Yao saw Liang Yuan and them, she had already asked about the safety of the two of them, and when she received a positive answer, she gave up. ”

But the slave and maid thought it was strange. Miss Ru'an couldn't jump around because she was infected with the wind and cold, but Miss Shi made it clear that she was not injured, but her arms and calves were scratched by branches and leaves, and she suffered some skin trauma, but she was much quieter, and since she returned to the inn, she didn't even look in front of His Highness. ”

Bai Lu was really puzzled, Shi Mingjing chased Wei Jing extremely hard before, and when he had nothing to do, he would come to him if he had nothing to do, and it meant that he would not marry, and the entire Su Yuan knew her thoughts.

But after such an experience, it was clear that she also met His Royal Highness the Prince, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved her, but she didn't rush forward by head.

Su Yao didn't know what was going on, but every time she heard the names of Shi Mingjing and Wei Jingji appear together, some subtle emotions would ferment in her chest.

"Miss," Bai Lu looked at her cautiously when she saw her silent, "when the slave maid came in just now, Lord Liang asked the slave maid, do you want to go and see His Royal Highness the Prince?" He called you by your nickname when he fell asleep. ”

At this moment, he hesitated to become Su Yao.

At the critical moment of escaping for her life, she seemed to say a lot of things that should not be said, and Wei Jing was extremely sure that she could not even take her life, and saved her again and again.

She couldn't help but say something ambiguous to him, which was tantamount to giving him hope.

But what happened to her and Wei Jingji in the future was something she didn't have time to think about at that time.

Before Su Yao could make a decision, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Liang Yuan withdrew his hand and said outside: "County Lord, Weichen has something to ask to see." ”

Su Yao glanced at Bai Lu, Bai Lu nodded, went to open the door, and then went out by herself, closed the door, and guarded the door.

"What's the matter with Lord Liang?"

Liang Yuan greeted him first, and then said, "That's the case, county lord." ”

He said, frowning, as if in distress.

"Your Highness is injured, it's inconvenient to move, Weichen and Weichen's subordinates are also some masters, they haven't done these things, they don't know the severity of their hands, you see, you may help take care of Your Highness in the past two days?"

After speaking, as if he was afraid of Su Yao's refusal, he hurriedly continued: "Just like the county lord when you lived in the East Palace when you were a child, you can take a hand from time to time, if you are tired, Weichen will immediately call someone to replace you, okay?" ”

Having said that, Su Yao has no reason to refuse.

"He was there to save my wounds, and he should have taken care of them for a few days."

Liang Yuan said in his heart, thanks to his timely response, he could hear it when he came just now, and when Bai Lu asked that sentence, the county lord did not reply.

"County Lord, His Highness deliberately told Weichen when he was awake, this time the mountain bandits are obviously related to General Mo's army, but General Mo Xiaojun was also ordered by the Son of Heaven to suppress the bandits, and His Highness has nothing to do with it, you are the victim among them, and His Highness deserves to save you,"

Su Jiao said: "He has many ways to save me, but he chose the most dangerous one, putting his life and death aside, Mo Xianjia was ordered to suppress bandits, the reason why the saint gave the order is also for the innocent people, I was born to enjoy glory, free from cold and suffering, but in the final analysis, it is also given by the people, how can I be an innocent victim." ”

Liang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after understanding the meaning of his words, he said sincerely: "The county lord is reasonable, but it is indeed difficult to sort out all these things. ”

Su Jiao said in his heart, just like everything between Wei Jingji and her, who can sort it out, let's take a step at a time.
