Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 400 Alone
"It's going to get lively."

A voice that seemed to be full of poison sounded from the abyss somewhere.

"what."

In the darkness, Ying Baoyue who was lying on the bed suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.

"here it is……"

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes and quietly looked at the bed curtain embroidered with intricate patterns above her head, and the girl's soft breathing came from her ears.

She slowly turned her head to look at Ji Ange who was lying asleep beside the bed.

The familiar top of the bed, and the familiar person next to the pillow.Feeling the softness of the bed under her body, Ying Baoyue looked out of the dark window through the hazy bed curtain.

"Is it the west courtyard of Qing'an Academy..."

This is the temporary residence she has lived in so far, and she is lying peacefully on the bed where she has slept for so many days.

Judging by the sky, it should be already midnight.About four hours had passed since she left the polo field.

And she slept for so long.

Although she would stay awake for three minutes while sleeping, that level of sobriety was for danger. She was able to sleep for such a long time because she was always surrounded by people who did not have the slightest malice towards her.

"Did Gui Chen bring me back and put me back on the bed..."

Ying Baoyue hugged the blanket covering her body and sat up, feeling the familiar touch of her palms. She lowered her head and quietly looked at the blanket covering her body.

She woke up in the Qing'an Courtyard, still covered with a familiar blanket.

She slept in Qing'an Yuan's bed, but the blanket she was wearing was not from Qing'an Yuan.

Ying Baoyue quietly stared at the blanket in her hand.She knew this blanket too, it was the one he would always cover her with when she fell asleep in the Jijiashu yard.

"Is it on the carriage?" She murmured, then lowered her head and smiled slightly in the darkness, and spoke softly to the young man in another courtyard who couldn't hear her.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"Hmm..." Ji Ange, who was lying on the bedside, snorted.

Ying Baoyue sat on the bed and glanced at her quietly, then got off the bed gently, carried Ji Ange back to the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

"Good night, thank you for your hard work."

After finishing these things, she gently closed the door and walked into the moonlit courtyard.

Because of a heavy rain in the evening, the night sky was wide and clean, with a bright moon hanging high, and a few stars floating around the moon.

Ying Baoyue raised her head, reached out to the stars in the night sky, and looked at the moon in the sky through the gaps between her five fingers.However, when she turned the angle, she suddenly froze slightly, and shifted her palm slightly to the north side, and the jujube tree in Qing'an Courtyard appeared between her fingers.

And the figure on the jujube tree.

In the moonlight streaming from her palm, through the gap between her five fingers, Ying Baoyue quietly looked at the person on the jujube tree.

I don't know if the moonlight tonight is too bright, the moonlight shining on the heavy bronze mask doesn't look so gloomy, but it seems to carry the weight of history, diffusing an eternal gleam.

"good evening."

Ying Baoyue put down her hands, and looked at the person who sat motionless on the tree without sleeping in the middle of the night, "Don't you sleep at night?"

The person on the tree didn't answer, but quietly looked down at her, and paused, "You're awake."

"Yes," Ying Baoyue nodded.

There was silence between the two of them for a moment.

After an unknown period of silence, a man's voice suddenly came from the tree.

Under the moonlight, Li Ji glanced at the girl under the tree and said softly, "I'm practicing."

Ying Baoyue was taken aback, only to realize that this man was answering what she said earlier about staying up late at night.

But if he doesn't sleep at night, he is practicing again?

She raised her head and looked at Li Ji on the tree, "You are really practicing all the time."

When he first met him in Qianqin, he was like this.Afterwards, from Qianqin all the way to Nanchu, every time he met him, he was practicing, and he forgot to sleep and eat.

And the places where you practice at night are quite unique.

Ying Baoyue glanced at the man who was not the first time he saw a man who was practicing on a tree at night, and restrained his desire to ask questions.After all, staying in a tree is better than watching in a coffin anyway...

Noticing the eyes of the girl under the tree, Li Ji's dark eyes moved.

"What's the matter," he said indifferently, "I've seen people who practice all the time, even when they're sleeping."

"Really?" Ying Baoyue was slightly taken aback, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Ji asked.

"It's nothing," Ying Baoyue smiled, suppressing the inexplicable feeling in her heart, "I just think it's really powerful."

"Of course," Li Ji nodded seriously.

Ying Baoyue didn't say anything. The next moment she looked at the man on the tree, she thought of something, "By the way, I didn't realize the medicinal materials you brought from Soochow yesterday when you went back, and I haven't thanked you yet."

It was only after the dinner yesterday that Ji Ange mentioned to her that the stepson of Soochow Wu didn't come here empty-handed, and he brought a lot of medicinal materials.

"You can't go to the banquet empty-handed," Li Ji said indifferently, "We accept your hospitality, and you don't need to care about a little gift. It's just a sudden invitation, and our stepson has no time to prepare anything else."

If he had enough time, Li Ji had no doubt that Zhao Guang would be able to pick out a set of jewelry from the street even if he didn't bring anything.

"Really?" Ying Baoyue smiled, "That's what I said, but I still want to thank Soochow Stepson for his kindness."

Li Ji responded quietly, "I will tell him."

tell him...

"Although receiving the medicinal materials is indeed very practical," Ying Baoyue looked up at the moon in the sky, and looked at the man who was cultivating with his eyes closed, with a strange expression, "but I don't understand one thing."

"I didn't suffer any internal injuries," Ying Baoyue said, "May I ask why you gave me the bell flower?"

This kind of medicinal material for treating internal injuries is not cheap.

"If you don't have it now, it means that you don't need it later," Li Ji said lightly, "I thought you would use it this time...wait."

"Wait, it wasn't from me," he corrected after a sudden pause, "it was from Zhao Guang."

"Really?" Ying Baoyue smiled and said, since he is so persistent, that's the case.

"I didn't expect you to call that medicinal herb bell flower," Li Ji said suddenly at this moment.

Ying Baoyue stared at her palm in a daze. The bell flower was just another name for that medicinal material, and it was an uncommon name.It was also the first time that she could understand her instantly when she mentioned it to others.

"Is it really the name in the former Qin Dynasty?" Before she could answer, Li Ji himself spoke lightly.

"Maybe." Ying Baoyue smiled, looked at the moon in the sky, "It's getting late, I'm going back to sleep."

After all, she will continue to participate in the official polo match tomorrow.

"Well," Li Ji replied lightly.

Ying Baoyue turned around and walked towards the west courtyard.

"you……"

However, just as she was taking a step, the voice of that person suddenly came from behind.

Ying Baoyue stopped with her back to the jujube tree, lowered her head slightly, and her eyes changed.

The next moment she turned around and looked at Li Ji who stood up from the tree trunk.

"Excuse me and..."

Is there anything else?
Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other.

"you……"

However, Li Ji still didn't answer right away. He quietly watched the figure of the girl under the moonlit night, and the next moment he looked at Ying Baoyue, he suddenly opened his mouth quietly.

"How long are you going to fight alone like this?"
