Chapter 236: Heartbreak (Part II)
As the sun set in the west, a humble two-wheeled carriage jolted along the rugged mountain roads.
This place is hundreds of miles away from the holy capital city, located in a lofty mountain range in Wannan County.
It was Zhao An who drove the car, but he had become a handlebar, and what he held in his hand was no longer a whisk that could turn over rivers and seas but a crackling horsewhip, which was impressive.
Wang Rou sat in the car and held Ji Chengche in his arms and never let go, in the past few days, he was sometimes unconscious and sometimes woke up, his body was hot and his face was crimson.
But fortunately, his injuries are gradually recovering, and the high fever has improved since last night, and it is slowly starting to recede.
Wang Rou has been sleepless day and night, her cold face is slightly haggard, and her mind is even more tense and she dare not relax for a moment.
In order to avoid the search of the brigade, Zhao An took a very remote and secret route, and the carriage always drove in the mountains. The strange thing is that the three of them did not encounter any checkpoints along the way, let alone be caught up by the pursuers.
At first, Wang Rou was quite puzzled, after all, no matter how lucky she was, she would not be able to travel unhindered for several days in a row. But later, she had already understood, and guessed that someone must have secretly arranged it early, so that she could avoid the pursuers and encirclement so smoothly.
Even so, Wang Rou did not dare to relax her vigilance.
She knows better than anyone how powerful Xiang Lin is, even if Zhao An escorts Ji Chengqing, it is absolutely impossible to stop him.
Ji Chengqing does not heal for a day, and her heart hangs for a day.
She stared at Ji Cheng's clear and sleeping face, gently brushed away the hair that fell on his forehead for him, and said with tears in her eyes: "It's all my fault, I thought it was a joke, but who knew that it turned into a prophecy, and you were hurt more seriously this time than the last time." β
She vaguely knew some of Ji's clear heart knots, and she could guess a little bit why he had to venture into the Holy Capital.
However, things have developed to this point, which Wang Rou never expected.
"If one day you really lose your heart, please remember me!"
She leaned down in his ear and whispered to him over and over again, silently pleading with him, and she had never told him such a heartbeat, much less taught him to understand it when she was awake.
There is a feeling in this world, which can only be precipitated in the heart lake forever, and he is not taught to know.
"But I don't want that to happen. Trust me, I'm going to make you better...... β
Wang Rou closed her eyes, and a crystal teardrop slipped down and dripped down Ji Cheng's ear.
I don't know how long it took, Ji Chengche opened his eyes and stared at her in amazement.
Wang Rou woke up, took the water bladder from the car and said, "Are you thirsty?"
Ji Chengche nodded, she rested his head in the crook of her arm, opened the water bladder and approached his mouth.
Ji Chengche took a few sips of water, and said with a boost of energy: "Where am I, why are you here?"
"We were in a carriage and were heading back north. Wang Rou replied: "You and Xiang Lin had a fight in the Yanwu Mountain, you lost too much blood and fainted, and he retreated and didn't know where he went." But it's fine now. β
She didn't mention the dragonization, Ji Chengche lay in her warm and soft arms and her head was a little dizzy, thinking carefully about what happened before she fell into a coma, she only felt messy and groggy and couldn't remember it clearly.
"How did you evade your pursuers?" he asked after a moment, surprised.
Wang Rou said: "It was Gonggong Zhao who brought us out, and this road is very safe." β
"Father-in-law Zhao?"
"He is the chief eunuch of Zhangwu Palace, and he is the person in front of Xiang Yi. β
Hearing Xiang Yi's name, Ji Cheng's face immediately changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
The carriage came to an abrupt stop on the mountain road, and Zhao An's male duck voice asked in front of the car: "Your Highness Chengche, are you awake?"
Ji Chengche took a breath and sat up forcefully, and asked, "Who told you to send me across the border in a carriage?"
Zhao An said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered, let the old slave send His Royal Highness Cheng Che out of the siege safe and sound." β
"No need," Ji Chengche said coldly: "Since I have woken up, I will not work for Zhao's father-in-law." β
Zhao An said: "But Your Majesty ordered the old slave to send you to Taiyue Mountain." β
"No, I have legs to walk. Ji Chengche lifted the curtain and said to Zhao An's back: "Go back and tell your majesty the emperor, I can't die, and one day I will return to the holy capital to visit you!"
Zhao An grinned disapprovingly and said dryly: "His Royal Highness Chengqing's resentment is so big. His Majesty did not feel that he owed anyone, or wanted to ask for anyone's gratitude and forgiveness, he just hoped that His Highness Cheng Cheng could live well. β
Ji Chengche said hesitantly: "Don't worry about it, I will live better without him." β
Zhao An said: "Of course, Your Majesty also knows that His Royal Highness Cheng Zheng Zheng is arrogant and will not accept favors, so he ordered the old slave to bring you a word - what you lose today, he will gain more in the future." β
Ji Chengche grabbed the wheel and got out of the car, and walked forward step by step: "Please tell your Emperor His Majesty the same words - what he got today will definitely lose more in the future!"
Wang Rou listened to the conversation between the two, and silently reached out to help Ji Chengqing walk slowly.
Zhao An sat in the car and didn't move, and persuaded: "Your Highness Chengqing, Your Majesty secretly arranged for the people who protect you to recognize the car and not the person." Even if you don't want to be escorted by the old slave, take the carriage with you. β
Ji Chengche sneered and said: "You can keep the carriage yourself, the older people have inconvenient legs and feet, so you have to save yourself from fatigue all the way back!"
Zhao An said: "Your Highness, your courage is commendable and admirable to the old slave, but you are too young and vigorous. According to the old slave, you will not be able to move an inch without this carriage!"
Ji Chengqing didn't bother to pay attention, and the person had already walked more than ten feet away.
Zhao An shouted: "Miss Wang, you should persuade His Highness Chengqing, you should know better than him that what the old slave said is not a threatening word. β
Wang Rou said lightly: "If your emperor wants you to jump off the cliff on the side, I don't know what the Zhao Gong Guild will do?"
Zhao An sighed and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but Miss Wang ......"
"That's it," Wang Rou interrupted him, "He's my master, and I listen to him." β
Zhao An said helplessly: "Why did the two dead brains come together?" β
Ji Chengche stepped forward step by step, ignoring Zhao An behind him, Zhao An really didn't drive with him again, and stayed where he was to watch the two leave.
When it was evening when he was walking, Ji Chengche was already exhausted, so he could only find a secluded place to stop and rest.
The place is located in a dense bush with a small stream next to it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, Wang Rou called a roe deer to wash and peel it and put it on the fire for barbecue.
Ji Chengche leaned on the trunk of the tree and watched Wang Rou roast roast roe deer with her hands and feet, the red firelight reflected on her mutton fat jade-like face, indescribably bright and moving.
He felt apologetic and said, "I refused Zhao An's escort, did I do something stupid?"
Wang Rou pursed her lips and flipped the roe deer, and a slight "um" in her nose for a while was an answer.
"Knowing that I was being hunted and killed, you still came to me," Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Are you more stupid than me?"
Wang Rou didn't answer, Ji Chengche waited for a long time and couldn't even hear a sound, thinking that she was angry, so she hurriedly explained: "I'm joking with you." β
"I know. β
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, I'm actually very happy. β
"I'm not happy. β
"Why?"
"You almost died. β
"How can I be, my life is very big, and I can live well when I rush out of the iron array of 2,000 people. β
Wang Rou bit her lip and said, "Self-deception." β
Ji Chengche smiled and said, "Come, let me taste your craftsmanship." β
Wang Rou used the Longyang Divine Sword to cut off a small piece of roasted roasted roe deer meat and fed it to Ji Chengqing.
Ji Chengche took a bite and sighed regretfully: "If you can drink wine, this taste will be better." β
Wang Rou silently cut off a small piece of roe deer meat and fed it to him, "When you are healed, you can drink as much as you want." β
Ji Chengche took two more bites, shook his head and said, "I'm full, you can eat." β
Wang Rou ate the meat without saying a word, and a little tear suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Ji Chengche was stunned and said, "What are you doing?"
"You...... How many bites did you take?"
"You're not so careful, are you? I'm going to cry after only two bites, and if I eat the whole one, you're not going to cry out of a river?"
Wang Rou shook her head and said, "I still remember when I just returned from the Northern Wilderness and passed through Yunmen Pass, you took me to the market and ate everywhere. β
Ji Chengche smiled: "Of course I also remember that when I asked you to eat a string of rock sugar gourds, it turned out to be like you were going to cut off your head." β
Wang Rou said: "You can't even eat a few more bites of roe deer meat now, teach me how not to be sad?"
Ji Chengche was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was blinded.
"Bang!" Wang Rou suddenly threw the whole roe deer away, ran to the side of the stream, leaned down and turned her back to Ji Chengqing to wash her fingers.
Ji Chengche opened his mouth, and finally realized that he was wrong: "It's me who is bad, I shouldn't make you angry." If you don't bother to beat another roe deer, I'll make sure you eat it cleanly and not even have any bones left. β
Wang Rou ignored him, picked up the stream and splashed it on his face.
Since her father's defeat, she has rarely had emotional out-of-control, but I don't know why she just can't help it today.
"Well, I'll be honest. Ji Chengqing couldn't make a plan and made a plan, "It's because your craftsmanship is so bad that I have no appetite." Actually, I'm so hungry that I can swallow eight cows nowβ"
Before the words fell, Wang Rou looked back, and the stream drew her dark eyebrows into two amazing arcs.
"I just want you to be good, don't you understand?!"
Ji Chengche stared at Wang Rou's pear blossom with rain, and her face could no longer tell whether it was a stream or tears, but the red and sparkling appearance of her eyes was the first time she saw it, and she was so surprised that she couldn't say anything.
He suddenly smiled and said, "What I just said is true. When I get some sleep and bake a roe deer for you, you'll know what the gap is. β
Wang Rou stared at him motionlessly, and after a while, her expression returned to coldness, and said, "Rest early, we still have to hurry." β
After speaking, she sat cross-legged by the stream, staring at her nose and nose, concentrating on her heart, and cultivating her skills.
Ji Chengche looked at Wang Rou with some uneasiness, and unconsciously recalled the past when Lin Hansi gave her to himself as a slave girl.
"Do you know how to cook?"
"I, I ......"
"No, do you do the laundry?"
β......β
"Where's tea?"
"What about chopping wood and making a fire?"
"You've always done cleaning up the house, haven't you?"
"Then you'll always learn, right?"
"I ...... I'm willing to learn, and I promise to learn soon!"
"Well, you stay, and learn to do the laundry firstβnot mine, it's this one you've got on yourself. β
Thinking about it, he didn't know it, and before he knew it, he felt his eyelids get heavier and heavier.
"In the end, I still kept you, after so many years, your cooking skills are actually very good, at least not worse than the skills of the chefs in Tiandu City......"
He yawned, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said to himself: "I don't know if you remember this, you will be fine if you eat a few more bites in the morning, and you will not be made to cry." β
As he spoke, he fell asleep.
This night, the grass and trees outside the mountain were full of soldiers, but he slept very deeply. (83 Chinese Net.)
