Chapter 94 No.11 Act Exile II

Jiang Yan rode Wu Chen for an unknown distance.The baby horse under his crotch has now grown into a long-hoofed horse of thousands of miles, and soon left the official road and broke into a strange plain.

When the heavy rain fell, the blood from the wound had already formed a scab on the young man's back.He turned around with difficulty, and was relieved when he saw that there was no trace of the pursuers anymore.

An uncontrollable cold gradually spread to all limbs and bones, making Jiangyan's body icy cold, and the remaining trace of strength also dissipated like running water in a bamboo basket.He couldn't sit still on the horse anymore, he tilted his body and fell down.

In a daze, the young man vaguely felt that Wu Chen arched his head lightly, and then opened his mouth to hold his skirt, trying to ask his master to get up.But he was so weak that he couldn't even use the strength to move his fingers, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.Right now, he only felt as if he had fallen off a cliff, and his soul and soul were all falling into the endless darkness.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that someone wiped Jiang Yan's wound with a warm and damp soft cloth, and then poured some salty liquid into his mouth.Those fluids allowed life to return to the young man's body bit by bit, and allowed him to open his eyes again.

At this time, what he saw was not the adobe wall of an ordinary farmhouse, but a huge tent made of linoleum.Through the thick felt cloth, you can still clearly hear the strong wind and the torrential rain outside.And the person in front of her who was wiping her body was a woman of a foreign race with her hair coiled up and her feet bare.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

Jiang Yan suddenly struggled to get up, struggling to sit up.The alien maid opposite seemed not expecting the person on the couch to wake up without warning, she was startled, immediately dropped the soft cloth in her hand and rushed out, yelling words that the young man couldn't understand in her mouth in panic.

Jiang Yan immediately wanted to catch up, but his legs couldn't exert any strength at all, and he rolled over on the ground when his center of gravity was unstable.At the same time, the sound of footsteps came again from outside the tent, and then a girl, surrounded by her attendants, raised the curtain and walked in quickly, helping him back to lie down on the couch, but what she said was a standard big Shengchao official language:

"You have suffered such a serious injury, just lay down obediently and let the maid take care of you, what are you doing in a hurry?"

The visitor was wearing a red cloak embroidered with gold trim, and his head was full of black silk, which was carefully braided into countless braids thinner than fingers. There was a gilded forehead on his forehead, and his two curved eyebrows were slightly frowned. , although the big black eyes are not as deep as the young man's, they are still shining like jewels, but they always keep their face down, not daring to look at the other party - never thought that the person who saved the young man would be Princess Sodi who had met once before!

"Why is the princess still staying in Wanzhou? Now, you should also know what happened in the city..."

Seeing that it wasn't Ye Guo chasing soldiers, Jiang Yancai was slightly relieved, but he still refused to lie down obediently.The other party did not answer immediately, but picked up the soft cloth left by the maid from the golden basin with his own hands, rubbed it a few times, and then gently pressed it on the boy's forehead:

"You just need to rest assured that I am recuperating, and you don't need to worry about others. I have ordered my warriors to send away those chasing soldiers from Ye Kingdom. Even if the other party knows that you are in my account, forgive me Rushed in and robbed people head-on."

"But now I am a wanted criminal in Ye Kingdom, and the Princess is here to make peace, so it would be inappropriate to save me. Besides, there are still friends waiting for me in Huxieping outside the city. I can't stay here for long!"

The black-eyed boy was shocked suddenly, turned his face to avoid the opponent's hand, and struggled to get up after finishing speaking.Princess Tuya had no choice but to explain, while firmly holding the other party's shoulder:

"Look at your current appearance, where else can you go other than lying down? You know that you have been in a coma for three whole days, and all the roads and roads in a radius of a hundred miles outside Mulu City have already been closed. As long as your companions are not stupid, It’s absolutely impossible to stay where you are and wait.”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan's expression changed, he suddenly lost his temper, and waved his hand violently to push the girl away:
"Then you don't need to pity me! Whether my friend is waiting, you will know when you go to see it! Quickly return Wuchen and Yijia to me, I'm going to find Ziyin and them!"

The soft cloth in Princess Di Ren's hand was slapped by the boy and fell to the ground on the spot.She was also scared back again and again, and she couldn't help letting out an exclamation.

Hearing the dispute in the tent, an old general who was over sixty years old rushed in from outside.Seeing him wearing a pair of white iron armor, his beard and hair are already grey, but his body is very tough, he immediately reprimanded loudly:
"Bold! The princess of my Muyun Department condescends to take care of you. You little brat not only refuses to thank you but also offends you. Aren't you afraid that you will be pushed out and beheaded right now?"

As the old man said, he stretched out his hand to pull out the machete with the barbed spine on his waist.Claw marks are clearly visible on the leather wrist wrapped around its forearm that is used to lift the falcon.

"Old General Yuan Ti calm down, I accidentally bumped into him."

Princess Tuya shook her head again and again, signaling that the other party should not be violent.

"Princess! It's this time, why do you still have the heart to protect this brat? Not to mention that Du Lie died under his sword before, and now that Duke Ye is dead, even if this brat is Beizi who was canonized by him, then As far as my Muyun Department is concerned, it is already useless. Even if we take him back to Yanluoyuan, Hehan will never let him go easily!"

"Could it be that the old general thought that if he went back empty-handed like this, he would easily let me go?" Tuya asked back.

"How can the princess say that? After all, as soon as Hehan heard that there was a change in the country of Ye, he ordered the old minister to come and lead the team to pick you up. Even if he is wrong, but blood is thicker than water, he is still your elder brother -"

Before the other party finished speaking, he was interrupted by the princess:

"In that case, why didn't the old general go north immediately after he found me, but continued to stay in Wanzhou for a long time?"

"Princess, the old minister is incompetent..."

As soon as the matter of the Muyun Department was mentioned, Princess Tuya immediately showed indifference and maturity that did not match her age.There was no emotion in her tone, and she seemed to be used to being used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits for the tribe:

"Old general, you are loyal, and you have taken good care of my mother and daughter over the years. Erda knows that if you are sent to find someone, you will be able to find me. Naturally, you are very clear in your heart. If you don't send me this time If I take me back, I will break with the entire Muyun tribe. But you are worried that if you take me back to the grassland like this, Rierda will still order me to marry another country, and there will be no room for maneuver. But what I want to say is, in fact, you don’t need to be embarrassed, we will set off and go back today.”

The veteran in front of him hesitated for a moment, and the beard on his lips moved, as if he still wanted to say something, but he couldn't.He finally let go of the knife, bowed and saluted, and exited the tent.Princess Di Ren took out a small handkerchief embroidered with lotus from her bosom, soaked it in water, kneaded it, and then applied it to the hot forehead of the young man again.

Jiang Yan didn't resist this time, but looked at this Di Ren girl who was half of Yubei's blood in a strange way.Ning Yue had mentioned about this foreign princess in front of the boy, but the black-eyed boy never expected that the other party was protecting her so much, and couldn't bear to refute her good intentions.

"Old General Yuan Ti was the guard who escorted my mother north to the Muyun Department. He didn't have any malicious intentions, but after my mother left, he wanted to do his best not to let me get hurt."

Princess Tuya lowered her eyes, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly.

"I still can't figure it out, why did you save me?"

"The Shodi people and the Nan people are both human beings. Now that I have seen it, I can't stand by and watch."

"Then, are you going to take me back to the grassland next?"

"Now that you are alone, it is absolutely impossible to leave Wanzhou alive. It is the safest to follow us. Once you enter the border of Zhuzhou, your injuries should be healed, and it will not be too late to leave by then."

"Mizhou? From Wanzhou to Yanluoyuan, shouldn't the shortest way be through Changzhou?"

"North of Suoyang Pass is Yujing. How could a group of barbarians like us be allowed to stop by? This time we went south, we also traveled to Jiushan in Pengguo, and then detoured to Wanzhou by sea. It's just that the grassland people After all, sailing is inconvenient, and now that the southwestern countries have ceased fighting, the land route is not as dangerous as it used to be."

Princess Tuya finally raised her eyes and smiled at the young man.Jiang Yan suddenly realized that the seemingly innocent princess in front of her had been silently thinking about many things in her heart.He didn't say anything more, but felt that he had already owed the other party a huge favor inadvertently.

At the same time, Ning Yue, who had been in a coma for a long time after being cast a spell, also woke up in the cabin of a small boat.She sat up with her hands on her sore forehead, and saw Granny Cen sitting a short distance away, looking at herself with a half-smile.

"How can my mother-in-law forcefully bring her out of the city?! Hurry up and turn the boat around, I still have to save Ziyin and find Jiang Yan!"

"Miss, there should be patrolling soldiers everywhere in Mulu City at this time. Do you know that shortly after we left the city, the Ting Weisi immediately searched for you and that black-eyed land boy. Now that we have turned back, there is no one. It’s different from asking for your own death.”

"I won't listen, I won't listen! If my mother-in-law were replaced by me, would you just watch the person you care about being in danger and not go to the rescue?"

"Old man—" the old woman on the opposite side hesitated for a moment, but she avoided answering: "Anyway, we have gone so far now that there is absolutely no way to turn back. The young lady listened to the old man's advice and stopped trying to save her. It's a matter of people. After a while, the old man will personally send someone to find out the whereabouts of the two young men on Miss's behalf."

"But, but Ziyin can't wait until then!"

"But what if the old man told Miss that the young master of Ye country has escaped safely?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ning Yue was startled for a moment, and then the blue eyes suddenly flashed again: "Ziyin escaped? Really?"

"I don't need to lie to Miss about this matter. It is said that someone robbed the execution ground that day, but since the person you want to save is safe, is Miss willing to go with me now?"

"Then—where are we going?"

The red-haired girl was finally moved by the other party's persuasion, and she raised her brows slightly.She lifted the curtain on the small window and stared blankly at the muddy water outside the boat, but she didn't give a positive answer.

"We are currently sailing up the Yanjiang River, all the way to the east. After passing Yugu Lake ahead, and traveling to the eastern foot of Qinglan Mountain, we can transfer to a carriage and enter Jingshu City to meet an important person."

"Grandma is going to the capital of Weiliang? Who are you meeting?"

"Miss, haven't you ever wondered where Qi Shouyu learned about it and practiced it?"

Seeing that the girl no longer persisted, the old woman also smiled again, but asked the other party instead.

After thinking for a while, Ning Yue finally came to her senses:

"Could it be that - mother-in-law suspects that it's my father? But my father hates people on land so much, why would he have any contact with him?"

"At first, the old man was also suspicious of the priest, but after thinking about it, he gradually realized that there might be someone else who leaked the secret. As the investigation deepened, I felt more and more that maybe it was this person. He gave Qi Shouyu the method of making the firebolt gun."

"Mother-in-law is saying that someone in the clan deliberately leaked the secrets of the ancestors and our clan, and blamed it on my father? But there is no one in the hall who knows these secrets except for the chief priest and a few high-ranking priests. .Doing so is of no benefit to him at all!"

"Regardless of who this person is, and no matter what the other party's purpose is, it is imminent for the clansmen to return to land now, and you have already seen the power of the scorpion and the firebolt gun. In the future, once the soldiers meet See, not only tens of thousands of people on the land will be devastated, but tens of thousands of clansmen in Cangliu City will also inevitably be wiped out! Miss, the person you and I met on this trip to Jingshu is precisely to prevent this thing."

Granny Cen's tone didn't sound as peaceful as usual, she was obviously not trying to scare her, and it also made the red-haired girl feel the seriousness of the situation from between the lines.She didn't continue to ask, but turned her head again, stared at the surging river in silence for a long time, and finally nodded gently:

"Okay, then I will go with my mother-in-law..."

Even though she said this, the tears in the girl's eyes could not stop rolling down her cheeks, and slipped into the muddy river.Because she knew clearly in her heart that even if Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin were still in the world, they would travel thousands of miles, and it might be difficult for them to meet each other again in this life.

In her mind, a scene of encountering Qi Ziyin by chance when Jiang Yan first entered Mulu City three years ago suddenly appeared - at that time, the sun was rising, the grass was still green, and the begonias were still fragrant...
