Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 257 I Can't Leave You Alone

The setting sun sheds its last ray of light on the top of the mountain, and then leaps into the boundless darkness.

Sitting in the carriage, Chu Qingyan looked at the blazing fire through the window, slowly and in a daze.

I don't know how the big ice cube is doing now, whether I have eaten on time, it is only a few hours apart, but it seems that I have been separated for many days.

It seems that what I heard before is true, there are two most tormenting things in life, one is waiting, and the other is parting.

I really don't know if she can wait until that day.

The car curtain was lifted, and Xining came in with a steaming bowl of broth, "Master, you haven't eaten much tonight, drink a bowl of soup to warm your lower body, otherwise, it may be difficult for such a cold night."

Listening to Xining's words, she sighed slightly, because she remembered that as long as she stayed out overnight, she didn't have to worry about the cold at night, because there was always someone to help her out, and that person held her in his arms in the middle of the night, Give her the warmest body temperature.

But at this time, that person was no longer around.

Chu Qingyan took the soup bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

In order to preserve her strength, she had to take care of herself.

But because he drank in a hurry, he accidentally choked.

Xining quickly stepped forward and patted her on the back, and couldn't help complaining, "Master, you are such an adult, you will choke even after drinking soup, don't be distracted by drinking soup in the future."

Chu Qingyan blushed slightly, she didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a little girl at her age, she felt ashamed.

However, I have to say that along the way, Xining has also grown a lot. Although her temperament is still as cheerful as before and she occasionally goes offline, she has become more and more secure in her work.

After a while, Xi Ning took the bowl down, got into the car again, and prepared to make the bed and other matters.

"Master, it's so strange. Master Huo Ling seems to be planning to stay up all night tonight, and now he is sitting by the fire without moving. The slaves are worried that they will see him frozen there tomorrow." It seemed to enlighten their master. Xining told her deliberately in a teasing tone.

Chu Qingyan smiled when she heard the words, "Be careful not to be heard by him, or I won't be able to save you when the time comes."

Xining vomited at her, then carefully tidied up the carriage and lit the hand warmer.

After laughing, Chu Qingyan still couldn't help looking at the fire with curiosity. Indeed, as Xining said, Huo Ling stood guard over the fire without moving, feeling a little sad. With a slight movement in her heart, she lifted the hem of her clothes, jumped out of the carriage, and then He walked slowly towards the fire.

Huo Ling, who closed his eyes lightly, heard footsteps, put his hand on the handle of the knife, turned his eyes and shouted coldly, "Who is there?"

"It's me." Chu Qingyan walked from behind him to the fire and sat down.

"Little Princess?" Huo Ling withdrew his hand when he saw her, and asked with a puzzled face, "It's freezing cold now, you don't sleep, what's the matter when you come out?"

Chu Qingyan turned her eyes from the handle of the knife to him, and smiled, "It may be the first time to leave His Highness, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Slowly, you will get used to it." Huo Ling added a piece of firewood to the fire, with a dull expression.

"Huo Ling, tell me honestly, is your Highness's journey very dangerous?" Sensing Huo Ling's absent-mindedness, Chu Qingyan asked straight to the point.

Huo Ling shook his hand and lowered his eyebrows, "Little princess, don't think too much, the master has his own destiny, and he will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

"But you don't even believe it yourself, how can you convince me?" Chu Qingyan explained the hesitation in his heart.

"Little princess, what do you mean?" Huo Ling raised his head immediately, his tone a bit stiff.

"Huo Ling, don't lie to me again." Chu Qingyan closed her eyes, her expression a little painful.

Huo Ling was slightly startled, "What are you talking about, little princess, why can't my subordinates understand a word?"

"You don't understand, do you? Then I'll analyze it for you one by one." Chu Qingyan stood up and looked at him with blazing eyes, "You wanted to travel all night, but you chose to stay overnight because you were afraid of my suspicion. But you ordered everyone to spend the night in the carriage instead of tents. You knew that the tent would be warmer than the carriage. But you asked all the guards to strengthen their guard, and you planned to stand on guard all night, as if you were ready for battle at any time. Why do you do that?"

Huo Ling pouted, but couldn't answer a word.

"I'll answer it for you." Chu Qingyan took a deep breath before slowly letting out the stagnant air in her chest, "The reason why you did this is because once a killer strikes, you can leave at any time to escape. Fight anytime."

Huo Ling lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You are right, there are too many uneasy factors around us, and this subordinate must protect you."

"No, that's because His Highness is afraid that after he suffers, the next people will turn their finger on me and take revenge on me. Therefore, His Highness has ordered you to send me away from this place of right and wrong quickly. He is very dangerous around him. I'm afraid it will implicate me."

"Actually, he had already expected that he would not be able to go to the Fuli Mountains alive."

"Huo Ling, you know, time is running out, if you stay a little longer, His Highness' situation will become even more dangerous."

When Chu Qingyan said this, she couldn't go on anymore.

The big ice cube lied to her.

"Little princess, don't say any more!" Huo Ling turned around and slammed his fists hard at the old tree behind him, leaving a hole in the trunk, while the back of his hand was stained red with blood.

"Huo Ling—" Chu Qingyan bit her lip.

At this time, Huo Ling had crouched down with his head in his arms, his expression very painful.

"Little princess, I know you are very sad, and my subordinates are also very sad. His Highness handed over most of the troops to his subordinates, and asked them to protect your safety no matter what, but there are no people around him. how much down."

"This subordinate has been by His Highness's side since he was a child, and has never left him a step, but now he can only watch him fall into a whole but cannot fight side by side with him, little princess, do you know the pain in this subordinate's heart?"

"However, the only thing the subordinates can do is to do their best to fulfill the orders given by the master and not to disobey."

"Master, I have already made the worst plan, and you are the person he wants to protect the most, and my subordinates will do everything they can to complete the master's confession, so little princess, please don't worry His Highness any more, pretend that you don't know anything, Then go to the Fuli Mountains safely!"

Huo Ling's mournful voice lingered in her ears over and over again like a spell.

worst plans?

Most of the people are by her side?

Pretending to know nothing?
But she can't do it!

She can't know that he is in trouble, but let him go and leave alone.

"Huo Ling, let's go back, we can't leave His Highness to face those opponents alone." Chu Qingyan walked up to her and said firmly.

"Little Princess—" Huo Ling raised his head with a surprised expression.

"I know you really want to go back in your heart, so we will follow your heart's decision!" Chu Qingyan clenched her fists and said firmly again.

However, as soon as the words fell, she felt a pain in her neck, and she fell into darkness.
