Chapter 208: The North Frontier

After a long time, Princess Lingyue opened her eyes, and felt that her brain was still a little groggy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

She looked around, and the first thing that caught her eye was a shriveled female corpse with wrinkled skin.

Princess Lingyue was startled when she saw her appearance, could it be that this old woman was the graceful Peach Blossom Lady before?

This scene was too weird, Princess Lingyue unconsciously took a few steps back, looked away and looked in the other direction, only to see Xia Qingcang lying on the ground unconscious, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate the injury. Fortunately, although the breath is weak, it is quite well-proportioned. So he picked up Xia Qingcang's tall body and walked in the direction of Shi step by step.

In a haze, Xia Qingcang felt a trace of warmth coming from his chest, he slowly opened his eyes, and found that he had been asleep all day, and now it was a starry sky.

He saw that the campfire beside him was burning hotly, and it seemed to be the place where he had spent the night yesterday.

When he looked down, he was covered with a woman's clothes, although it was small and could only cover his chest, but the woman's residual warmth from it still made him feel extremely warm.

Beside her, Princess Lingyue sat in front of the fire, buried her head deep between her legs, and fell asleep.

The firelight reflected Princess Lingyue's fair face, white and red, and there seemed to be some tears left in the corners of her eyes, which looked particularly pitiful.

Xia Qingcang sighed lightly and put the clothes on his body back onto Princess Lingyue's shoulders.

At this time, Princess Lingyue felt the movement, woke up suddenly, and saw that Xia Qingcang had woken up from a coma, and was excited for a while, and threw herself into his arms.

Xia Qingcang was stunned by this sudden move, and he didn't know how to put his hands all of a sudden.

Princess Lingyue also seemed to feel that her actions just now were too aggressive, so she hurriedly came out of Xia Qingcang's arms, sat up, and asked softly, "Brother Xia, are you feeling better?"

"I'm a rough man, with rough skin and thick flesh, and this little injury is nothing. Xia Qingcang said with a smile. In fact, after a day's rest, under the self-repair of the true qi in the body, the damaged meridians have been restored to seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

"Well, you're fine, that's good. Is that female corpse really Lady Peach Blossom during the day?, what the hell is going on?" Princess Lingyue asked suspiciously, remembering Lady Peach Blossom's death.

"Hey, speaking of which, Mrs. Peach Blossom is also a hard-working person. At that time, Mrs. Peach Blossom was also a lady who was proficient in all kinds of famous piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately she married the wrong person. Her husband was very lustful, and not long after passing the door, he got tired of her, so he went out to hook up with some young and beautiful women. Over time, Mrs. Peach Blossom put all her resentment on these women, in her opinion, it was these vixens who relied on their own good looks to snatch her husband, and then they cultivated this evil skill out of nowhere, and singled out young women to attack. Hey, this time I took a few more lives, I think what would happen to Uncle Jiang if he found out what happened to his daughter-in-law? There will be a few more poor people in this world. Xia Qingcang sighed.

After listening to Xia Qingcang's story, Princess Lingyue thought of Xiaobai again, tears flashed in her eyes, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

Seeing Princess Lingyue's appearance, Xia Qingcang didn't know what to do, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Brother Xia, can you hum that song from last night again?" Princess Lingyue asked lightly.

Xia Qingcang cleared his throat and began to hum, humming to the point that Princess Lingyue actually hummed along with the rhythm.

In this way, the two echoed each other, echoed high and low, and hummed the whole track together.

"Rest early, we will go back to Nanyang Village early tomorrow morning and inform everyone of this incident. After saying that, the two lay down and fell asleep quietly.

The next day, the two rushed back to Nanyang Village, told Uncle Jiang the whole process, after hearing the news of his daughter-in-law's murder, Uncle Jiang cried bitterly, and was able to calm down under the continuous comfort of the surrounding neighbors, and Ping'er learned that her mother was gone, and she cried loudly, seeing that Xia Qingcang and the two couldn't bear it, and sighed again and again.

"What about Ping'er's father, why didn't you see him at home?" Princess Lingyue asked Xia Qingcang.

"Her father went to join the army, and he won't be able to come back for a while, and her mother has always been taking care of Uncle Jiang at home. Xia Qingcang sighed.

After listening, Princess Lingyue took a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Jiang Bo to let him use it as a silver tael for the family's future living expenses. Jiang Bo resolutely didn't want to, but after Princess Lingyue forcibly let him accept it, he and Xia Qingcang left.

"Brother Xia, where are we going next?" On the way out of Nanyang Village, Princess Lingyue asked Xia Qingcang.

"Send you home. You say, where does your family live?" asked Xia Qingcang.

As soon as she heard this, Princess Lingyue was flustered in her heart, and before she could think of how to answer, a person on the road hurried over on a horse, jumped down in front of Xia Qingcang, and handed over a letter.

Xia Qingcang opened it and looked at it, his face changed greatly, and after putting it away, he sighed, and said to the person who sent the letter: "I'll set off to the north immediately, and I want you to send this young lady home for me." ”

"I'm not leaving, you don't care where I go. As soon as she heard that she was going to send herself home, Princess Lingyue was anxious.

Xia Qingcang shook his head, thinking that he really didn't have the right to ask her to do anything, so he put it aside and walked briskly in the direction of the north.

Seeing Xia Qingcang leaving, Princess Lingyue hurriedly chased after her.

"Moon Spirit Girl, why have you been following me?" Xia Qingcang slowed down and asked.

"Who followed you, is this path yours?" said Princess Lingyue with a smile.

"Miss Yueling, the place Xia is going to this time is on the northern border, it has not been peaceful over there recently, and skirmishes with the Turks have occurred from time to time, for your safety, please don't follow me anymore. Xia Qingcang sighed and said with concern.

"Since it's so dangerous, then don't go either, let's go to the eastern seaside together, how about it?" Princess Lingyue said with a smile.

"I have something important to do, and I have to go north. Please say goodbye to the girl. After speaking, Xia Qingcang suddenly sped up and ran forward.

In fact, it was easy for him to get rid of Princess Lingyue, but after getting along for a few days, he felt that Princess Lingyue was also a little cute, and he was reluctant to leave her behind, so he wanted to persuade her to stay in person, but this time he saw that this method was ineffective, so he could only force it, and if she couldn't catch up with her, she would naturally leave.

After thinking about it, Xia Qingcang accelerated his pace and ran forward.

"Hey, Brother Xia, you wait for me. Wait for me. ”

As the distance narrowed, Princess Lingyue's voice became softer and softer, and finally gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, Xia Qingcang felt an inexplicable loneliness in his heart.

At this moment, a sharp cry came from behind him, and the voice seemed to be Princess Lingyue.
