After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 460 Escape (Part [-])
In the darkness, Duan Yi explained in a low voice, "The princess is on the top of the mountain, so I didn't leak it from the humble official. I didn't want to reveal the whereabouts of the princess, so I left."

Hearing his explanation, the coolness in Han Youning's heart dissipated instantly.She is still willing to believe in Duan Yi, even though there are secrets behind Duan Yi that she doesn't know, and even the people behind him want to hurt her.

Because Duan Yi never lied to her.

Han Youning regained his intimacy when he spoke, "It turns out that you left because of this. You can just say no to me in private? Why bother to make such a big circle. Now that you betrayed them, what punishment will you receive? "

Duan Yi said, "I don't know about the humble job."

He has always been expressionless, and there is little emotion when he speaks. Although his voice at this time is calm, there is a bit of depression that cannot be concealed.

Han Youning suddenly realized that people who have experienced the pain of annihilation must do things to extremes, Duan Yi betrayed them, and perhaps the consequences she would bear were beyond her imagination.

She was originally sad because of Duan Yi's betrayal, but at this moment, she began to hope that he chose to betray her, so as not to fall into a dilemma.

Han Youning asked, "Will it be serious?"

Duan Yi replied after a long time, "No."

But how could there be betrayal without any price?If there is no price, how can the other party rest assured to put the thirteen-year-old Duan Yi in Dingguo's mansion, their enemy.

Han Youning said, "Why don't you hand me over. I saw that they didn't mean to hurt me. If I negotiate with them, maybe it will work out? No matter how bad it is, there is still the prince, and the prince will save me .”

He had already died once to save her, and she didn't want to hurt him again.

On the other hand, if the other party is a descendant of the Southern Chu nobles, he will definitely fight his father forever.They laid down such a pawn as Duan Yi many years ago, so they must be planning something big.If she didn't enter the tiger's den, how would she know their plans?

Duan Yi said, "Princess, don't think about these things. When they go far away, I will send you back to Xiangping Mansion."

He was silent, and said again, "The person next to you is not the prince."

Han Youning's expression tightened, did he finally see it?
Duan Yi continued, "My lord will not let you go out without accompanying him, especially to a dangerous place like the top of the mountain. It is easiest to ambush enemies in the mountains, and the lord is not clear about his thoughtfulness. Also, he doesn't have that kind of The majesty that comes from within, Ye Chang lacks respect for him, and you also lack admiration for him."

Han Youning listened, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

If Su Bai was right, Duan Yi was as careful as a hair, and could easily find out the clues.

"So... the people behind you know?"

Duan Yi said, "The humble official didn't say anything. If the humble official did, they would probably have done something to Wangfei long ago."

Han Youning let out a long breath.

But Duan Yi said, "My lord is going to the northwest."

His tone was affirmative, not a question, nor a test.

Han Youning was shocked again, and his heart raised again.

"Duan Yi, what else do you know, you're still talking..."

Duan Yi nervously covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Princess, please keep your voice down, they might not find it."

Han Youning blocked his hand and leaned against the mountain wall weakly, feeling scared for a while.She couldn't imagine how much danger Zhao Chengyuan would have encountered if Duan Yi hadn't betrayed his people.

His people didn't even need to do it themselves, they just need to tell Emperor Qingming this secret, and Zhao Chengyuan would be doomed forever.

The two waited until midnight, only to leave the cave when they saw that there was no movement outside.

They didn't choose the way they came, but spent a whole day climbing over another mountain on the opposite side, and walked eastward along the valley, which was in the direction of Xiangping Mansion.

Duan Yi has always been adhering to the duty and propriety of a bodyguard, only protecting Han Youning, but keeping a respectful distance from her.He seldom speaks, and he must use honorific titles when speaking.Han Youning reminded him several times that he didn't have to do this again, but he just complied, but nothing changed.

Standing up, he was born in a noble family of Southern Chu, and in terms of background, he is definitely not inferior to her.Since it is not the real master and servant now, why should it be so.

But Han Youning couldn't persuade him.

They kept on going until it was dark, and they found a dry place to rest.

Duan Yi hunted a pheasant and roasted it on the fire, and picked some mushrooms and put them in the pheasant's belly.When roasted, the aroma is overflowing.

He took off the best chicken legs and gave it to Han Youning, "Princess, you will settle down for a while. If you feel tired, you can eat mushrooms and wild fruits. We don't have cooking utensils for cooking, and we can't cook vegetables. I will try to make a clay pot and clay bowl tonight. "

Han Youning took the chicken leg, "It's already great, there's nothing to make do with it, and you don't have to bother making cooking utensils, and running for your life isn't so important."

Duan Yi didn't say a word, he tore some meat from the belly of the pheasant and ate it.

Han Youning tore off the other chicken leg and handed it to him, "Eat more, we have to rely on you to escape. If they come after you, you must have the strength to carry me."

Duan Yi hesitated for a moment, took the chicken leg and lowered his head to eat it. The fiery red bonfire was jumping, and a thin blush was baked on his drooping cheeks.

After driving the mountain road all day, Han Youning was exhausted.After eating, she curled up by the fire and fell asleep.

The night in the mountains is quite cold and damp, and there is a chill in the night wind.But she felt the warm fire in her sleep, warm and dry.

When I woke up, it was already daylight.

The fire beside him was burning vigorously. Inside the fire was a clay pot, two bowls, and two spoons.

Han Youning sat up, only to find that he was covered with Duan Yi's clothes, a navy blue short jacket.Duan Yi, on the other hand, was wearing a middle coat and sitting on the other side of the fire, leaning against the mountain wall and sleeping with his arms folded.

He must have stayed up all night last night, right?

Han Youning got up, tiptoed to him, and unfolded his clothes to help him cover them.

Duan Yi suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and at the same time grabbed Han Youning's wrist like lightning, with a murderous look in his eyes.

After seeing that it was Han Youning, he quickly let go, took a step back, and bowed his hands, "Princess, you are rude in your lowly position."

Han Youning rubbed his almost broken wrist, and handed him back his clothes, "I originally wanted you to sleep a little longer, but instead it disturbed your clear dreams."

Duan Yi put on his outer clothes, "The humble officer has woken up. It's already dawn, and it's time to get ready to go."

He took the pots and bowls out of the fire and washed them, with some success and simplicity.

There were already some wild vegetables and fruits beside them, which must have been prepared by Duan Yi last night. They cooked and ate them, and then continued on their way.

Han Youning wanted to do something within her power, but Duan Yi didn't give her any chance to intervene, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

The traces of the fire had been buried with earth, and they avoided leaving traces along the way.

Duan Yi seems to be naturally sensitive to these things, extremely vigilant and meticulous.
