Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 799 Route
Ying Baoyue stared at the figure of the man in front of the road. She had seen this sight for No.17 times this month.

No matter which route she takes, there will always be him waiting for her in front of the road.

"It's over," Ying Baoyue looked at the man standing under the moon and smiled, "But how many times have I told you that you don't need to pick me up."

"I'm not here to pick you up," Li Ji shook his head, "I'm here to stop you."

The girl's eyes paused, and the next moment she smiled helplessly, "I also said, I'm not going to run away..."

Li Ji looked at her silently, then spoke.

"Last week in Beitiaoling, you ran for thirty miles, and you are only forty miles away from the border of Southern Chu."

If she hadn't been stopped by him, there was no doubt that she would go through the barrier alone and run all the way to Soochow regardless of the ambush ahead.

The man's voice was calm, but his dark eyes were staring at her closely. For some reason, Ying Baoyue only felt that these eyes implied accusation.

"That day... I wanted to find out if there was an ambush ahead," Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

"That day, there was an ambush three miles away from where you were standing," Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "Don't tell you that you can't feel it, you can detect it even five miles away."

"This..." Ying Baoyue was at a loss for words.

Under the bright moonlight, Li Ji looked at her quietly.

The face of the young girl in front of her was as white as jade, but right now she was black from lack of sleep.

These days, she locked herself in the study to study the map, and she has been doing one thing.That is to find a safe route to Soochow.

only.

It is the route by which she can safely go to Soochow alone.

In fact, when Li Ji learned that Lou Xiaolou was injured while exploring the way for her, Li Ji heard Ji Jiashu invite Ying Baoyue to set off to Soochow with him.

Ji Mo has once again entered Zihua Mountain for retreat.He was extremely indifferent to the fact that his son-in-law would go to Soochow to participate in the middle-level ceremony.

Mrs. Ye Shi and Ye Jingshu, the wives of the national teacher, cried and wanted to go with Ji Jiashu, but they were rejected by the boy.

Ji Jiashu was going to hitch a ride from Jixia Academy, set off with Xu Yishan, Chen Zichu, Chen Zihan and others, and then invited Ying Baoyue to go with him.

As an unmarried couple, it was only natural for them to go together. Hearing this invitation, Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief even though he was in a complicated mood.

Because of Lou Xiaolou's injury, people can't help worrying about the dangers she will encounter along the way.Walking with Ji Jiashu, Xu Yishan and others, among other things, means that she has a lot of strong hands to protect her at once. For ordinary practitioners, this is a great thing, so there is no reason to disagree.

however……

However, the woman in front of him refused.

Not only did she reject Ji Jiashu's invitation, she didn't even want to bring her brothers and sisters back home with her.

Li Ji stared at the girl standing alone under the moonlight in front of her, and looked at the dark forest path behind her, and wondered how she had the courage to explore the road alone.

That's right, Pathfinder.

Just three days after studying the map, Ying Baoyue began to disappear from the Qing'an courtyard.

I don't know how she is so proficient in sneaking and overcoming walls. In short, this woman will leave Qing'an Yuan every day to explore the way from Nanchu to Dongwu by herself.

But to explore the way, in Li Ji's view, it was more like sneaking away... The time she ran the farthest that day, if he hadn't stopped her, the girl should have tried to see if she could get past those ambushes.

Then he rushed to Soochow alone.

Thinking of this, Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue with serious eyes. Her abnormal behavior made people wonder whether she had anticipated any danger.

After all, she had been hunted down all the time when she went to Southern Chu, but he remembered that at least she didn't leave Guijia brothers and sisters and Lou Xiaowei, female officer Yao, at least that time.

But this time she actually wanted to leave alone behind their backs.

What is she worried about?
At the same time... who the hell is ambushing her?

These days, there have been rumors of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls being attacked on the official road from Southern Chu to Soochow.But as long as the officers and soldiers carefully study these news, they will definitely prevaricate with bandits and bandits in the end.As a result, everyone in the villages and counties around the border of Southern Chu was in danger. The government told women not to go to the official road, and let the practitioners who went to Soochow go first.

But on the Mountain Sea Continent, there is another person who is both a woman and a practitioner.

Li Ji learned through Zhao Guang's intelligence line that the way to ambush a [-]-year-old girl is not just official roads, and now even such forest trails with names on a few maps have more people who don't know what they are.

"I don't want to mention that day, but is today's road exploration enough?"

Li Ji turned around and looked at the road behind him, took a deep breath and said, "Three in the Divine Dance Realm, six or five in rank, this cold air... probably is a crossbow."

He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, "You can't make it through."

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, then nodded, "I know."

Today's Xiheling is the last road to Soochow that she searched from Ji Qingyuan's pile of maps.

But there are still unknown dangers lurking ahead.

Time has not allowed her to find a new way.

"Go back," Li Ji looked at the woman in front of him, "Go back and discuss with Second Young Master Ji, and find a relatively safe route to go together tomorrow."

"If he doesn't walk with me, all roads are safe for him." Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

Sure enough, it was because of this.

Li Ji quietly looked at the girl in front of him.

She never wants to hurt anyone around her, or they are hurt because of her.

"You shouldn't tell me that," Li Ji said flatly, "You can go back and reject him yourself."

"You're not here to stop me, and I don't have to go back," Ying Baoyue looked at the man standing under the moon in front of him, and smiled wryly the next moment, "By the way, you obviously won't go back to Soochow, so why do you want to get involved in these things."

Li Ji's eyes paused, and he looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him and said softly, "You know?"

"Well," Ying Baoyue nodded, "Zhao Guang said that you will stay in Nanchu to find your enemy."

Li Ji nodded.

Since that time when he received the news that Shao Siming was among the practitioners who participated in the primary ceremony, he did not receive any new news.There is no news that Shao Siming has left Nanchu, so he will naturally stay in Nanchu to search.

After all, he didn't have to participate in the primary ceremony, so he had no reason to go back.

Zhao Guang has already revealed his identity as the king of the county. The king of Dongwu decreed him to be the stepson of the middle-ranking ceremony ten days ago. With his current status, few people dare to harm him, so Li Ji rest assured that he will go back alone.

It's just that he didn't expect that the only thing he was worried about was that there was another person.

Looking at the girl standing under the moon, Li Ji took a deep breath.

He didn't know why, but he didn't want to see her take the risk to go to Soochow alone.

"Actually, there is another way." The man paused and said.

Ying Baoyue was startled when she heard the words, "What did you say?"

"I said that there is still a road from Southern Chu to Eastern Wu, and generally there will be no ambushes on this road." Li Ji said.

"What road?" Ying Baoyue was taken aback. She confirmed that she had searched all the maps and geographies, but she did not find such a road.

"Because that road itself is dangerous enough, there should be no ambush." ​​Li Ji said quietly.

"You mean..." Ying Baoyue suddenly realized something.

"That's right," Li Ji stared deeply into the eyes of the girl in front of him, "It's the place where one of the three great impasses is taken, passing through..."

He paused every word.

"Cloud Forest."
