I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 85: The gods fight and the mortals suffer
After a thrilling moment, the red horse stepped across the wooden bridge

The people behind me are chasing me relentlessly
Song Lingyi never thought that she didn't even have a driver's license in her previous life. Before she even drove a car, she was already riding a horse.

There was a loud cracking sound, and the old wooden bridge broke in the middle because it could not bear the weight of three horses at the same time.

Both the man and the horse fell into the turbulent river.
Song Lingyi looked back, and after the joy she felt a wave of sadness. The bridge was broken, how could she go back? !

The sky is dark
After running around in the dense forest along the river for an unknown amount of time, Song Lingyi led the red horse to an area with a wide view. She found a rock to sit down exhausted.

Fortunately, she brought a corn bun with her when she came out, so she didn't have to suffer from hunger and cold in the middle of nowhere. She sat on the rock and bit the corn bun bite by bite. The more she thought about it, the more sad she felt. She didn't know if Sister Zhao had returned to the camp safely, and the master was so good at fortune-telling, could he tell where she was...

Just when Song Lingyi was feeling sad about the passing of time, a hand holding a dagger quietly reached out from behind her. The cold back of the knife pressed against her neck. A familiar male voice came from her ear, "Lady Song, I didn't expect to meet you here..."

pat-

The cornbread I ate only two bites of fell into the mud

"!"

It’s Yu Youzhi!

Song Lingyi's hair stood up all over her body. In just a short moment, a lot of thoughts flashed through her mind: Yu Youzhi was being chased by Lu Jing's men, and he was clearly fleeing towards the camp, but he suddenly appeared here. This shows that this place is not too far from the camp, but it also shows that this place is not safe, and the hidden blade's men may jump out at any time.

She had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den!
"Cough cough..."

The person behind him coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, and the dagger in his hand loosened. Song Lingyi took this opportunity to grab Yu Youzhi's hand and snatch the dagger away, then turned around and pointed the dagger at him.

But the situation behind is not optimistic.
His handsome face was stained with blood, and there were several holes on the arms and abdomen of his riding suit, with blood oozing out. It was a horrible sight.

……

Yu Youzhi raised his eyes and looked at her, not afraid at all, and said with a slight smile: "… Lady Song, rather than killing me, why don't you make a deal… If you save me and return to the camp, I will use all the resources of the Huainan family to ensure that you will be promoted to a high position and a high salary in Chang'an."

Humph - despicable and dirty

He just wanted to threaten her with a knife, but now he wants to cooperate for a win-win situation. People who are fickle are the least trustworthy.

"I won't do anything that would benefit a tiger. Yu Shaoqing is blessed with great fortune and will surely be able to turn danger into safety. I will not accompany you any more."

Song Lingyi led the horse and turned around and walked a few steps away. She noticed some movement in the woods ahead and immediately returned to where she was. She lowered her head and saw that Yu Youzhi had lost too much blood and was somewhat unconscious...

After hesitating for a while, she turned the horse's head, raised her hand and whipped it, and the horse galloped quickly in the other direction, making quite a noise.

Song Lingyi squatted down and lifted up Yu Youzhi's arm, gritting her teeth and exerting strength: "You should also exert some strength yourself, otherwise I will run out of strength and leave you behind."

……

Before we knew it, night fell and the mountain wind became increasingly fierce, whistling past our ears, as terrifying as the howling of ghosts, foxes, and wolves.

Song Lingyi found a narrow cave and threw the person to the ground, panting.

He brought a piece of wood and started to drill the fire. Yu Youzhi was slightly sober after being thrown down. He looked at Song Lingyi squatting on the ground and busying himself with a stick for a long time, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

After drilling for more than ten minutes without even seeing a spark, Song Lingyi replied unhappily, "It's obvious. I'm drilling wood to make fire. This is a hunting ground. Fire can drive away some beasts. My lord has been living a life of luxury for too long and has lost his basic common sense..."

Yu Youzhi, who was ridiculed, rarely showed any anger. He simply pointed out her problem, "But you need kindling to make fire. How can it burn without kindling? Go find some weeds and fallen leaves..."

"..." It turned out that there was no fire starter

The fire problem was solved quickly
But Yu Youzhi's injury has not been treated yet.
After Song Lingyi briefly checked the injury, she rummaged in the grass at the edge of the cave and picked up a few green leaves. She crushed them with a stone and applied them to Yu Youzhi's bleeding wound. She then tore a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt and gave him a simple bandage, using the technique taught by Lu Jing.

"Do you know medical skills?"

"I know a little bit. This is called Hairy Money Grass, the most common hemostatic herb. You are lucky. It can be found around this remote cave. If it is farther away, I won't go to find it for you."

…………

After escaping danger, Zhao Yinxian returned to the camp, but found that Song Lingyi had not come back. She anxiously went to find Ye Xuan for help, but was told by the eunuch that Master Ye had disappeared early in the morning. Perhaps he had returned home early. After all, Master Ye has always been a maverick.

At the same time, the news that Yu Youzhi and others did not return to the camp alarmed the empress, who sent people to search the entire hunting ground.

In the quiet forest, shouts startled birds and shook the branches and leaves. Torches were like red eyes, floating in the silent and dark night.
As there were too many people in the hunting ground, An Ren and Shen Liuyun's men could not stay any longer and all evacuated. The bodies were all thrown off the cliff in a disguised accident.

in cave

Yu Youzhi was seriously injured and was sometimes conscious and sometimes confused. Every time he was about to fall asleep, Song Lingyi would wake him up and ask him to hold on.

"Ahem... ahem..." Yu Youzhi forced himself not to close his eyes. In order to divert his attention, he started chatting with Song Lingyi, "Now we are both on the same boat. Do you want to know who is chasing me?"

Song Lingyi paused as she poked the fire.

Of course she knew who it was, Dark Blade, Lu Jing...

But the next wave of people rushing out was not so clear. Zhao Yinxian said that the moves they used were like those of the army. Looking at Chang'an, there were only a handful of people who could mobilize soldiers. However, the only person she could think of who was related to the dark blade was the prince of Jin. The jade pendant that the maid of Hesi Tower brought out at the risk of her life must be a very important item. Lu Jing almost killed her for the jade pendant of the prince of Jin. They were either in the same group or enemies.

It was obvious that Yu Youzhi was well prepared for the assassination at the hunting ground today, but he did not expect the other party to send out so many experts. In Chang'an City, many people hated Yu Youzhi, but there were also many people who feared him. How could ordinary people dare to assassinate him under the nose of the empress on the day of the autumn hunting?

I think this matter is closely related to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

A chilly wind blew past, and the coolness penetrated into her neck. Song Lingyi shuddered. After coming to her senses, she turned sideways and looked at Yu Youzhi, with a serious expression: "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Yu Youzhi wanted to tell her that he was just thinking about going out so that he could sue the Prince of Jin and let her be a witness. She was not stupid. If Yu Youzhi was the winner today, it was not certain that he would let her go. They fought for their own interests, and she would not wade into this muddy water.

Yu Youzhi smiled weakly: "It's really interesting...
