The beauty is endless

Chapter 44
When the wind and snow first cleared, Murong Qi and Wei Nange had already left the ruins of the ancient city far away.

Wei Nange's left foot was injured in the sneak attack, and he couldn't walk fast. Murong Qi couldn't help but pick him up, and his pace didn't slow down at all.

A big man was being carried by a woman, Wei Nange felt a little embarrassed, but what he cared more about was Murong Qi's expression at the moment.Since she left the ruins, she hasn't spoken a word.

"Qiqi, where are we going now?"

"Tianhe City."

Wei Nange was a little surprised. He thought that what she wanted to do most at the moment was to find Ji Che's whereabouts as soon as possible.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Murong Qi explained: "The twelve princes of King Khan stationed in Tianhe City are my friends. I will bring you there as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can ask him to pass them on to King Khan."

"But Master Ji Shao..."

"Ache worked so hard to save you, I won't give up halfway!" She frowned tightly, her tone was heavy, but she was not depressed. Wei Nange was stunned, and then heard her whisper again:
"Master Wei, do you still remember that you asked me, if Ah Che and I were in danger at the same time, who would I save first? Up to now, my answer is still the same, I will definitely save you first, if Ah Che is in danger because of this, who will I save first?" Dead, I—" She paused, then continued calmly, "I will die with him."

He lowered his head in surprise, and saw a faint smile flickering from her lips, it was the firmness and peace of mind that had finally found her way.

In just a few days, she seemed to be a different person. Not long ago, the girl who held a pen by the window and smiled shyly at the young Shoufu-sama had disappeared in the snow in the north.

"Okay." Wei Nange gently pressed his shoulder, "Then I'll leave it to you, Qi Qi."

Along the way, they didn't encounter any pursuers. After walking for half a day, Murong Qi finally found a shelter from the wind under Wei Nange's persuasion.

When he looked up, his eyes were all white.Bypassing the swamp at the foot of Riyue Mountain and passing through the ruins of the ancient city, Tianhe City, which was not far away, added two more days to the journey.

Murong Qi leaned against the fire, while gently stroking Lei Zhuo's cold gun body, while staring at the flames in a daze, until he felt a few small lines with his fingertips, he has been in a daze for several hours Suddenly there was a flash of light.

The body of the Thunder Cone gun is made of cold iron on the seabed, and it cannot be harmed by ordinary swords and swords. The few scars are all caused by world-famous weapons, and there is a thrilling story behind each scar.She has always been fond of listening to rumors in the world, and she has heard those stories from Ji Che no less than ten times, so she knows the location of every scar on the gun.

However, these lines have never existed before.

She hastily brought the short gun closer to the fire, and by the light of the fire, she could see the scars located an inch above the handshake, near the switch mechanism of the long and short gun, the marks seemed a bit messy at first glance, but to Murong Qi, they were all too familiar .

It was a special code they created when they were young and playing around, only he and the Murong brothers and sisters could understand it.

And now Murong Jiu is in Tianhe City, so, is this the message he left for her?

She collected herself, lowered her head and carefully discerned, those symbols expressed the meaning of "open".So she pressed the gun body bracket, and the black gun rod popped out. Her fingers explored carefully in the gap of the gun bracket, and finally pulled out a piece of tissue paper as thin as a cicada's wing. When she unfolded it, the writing on it was very scribbled—" Fifty miles west of the ancient city, Longmian Lake".

She couldn't help pressing the tissue paper to her heart, took a breath, and then walked towards Wei Nange who was sleeping.

According to Mr. Wei, the live map, Longmian Lake is a very small lake. Because the lake does not freeze for many years and the water quality is poisonous, birds and animals avoid it. Therefore, the surrounding nomadic tribes believe that there are dragons living in it. Sleeping Lake".

"According to the "Jingwei Zhi" records, this area was rich in sulphurite and hot springs in ancient times, and there are still more than 30 hot springs preserved today. I estimate that there should be ancient hot springs at the bottom of Longmian Lake, so it will not freeze in winter .As for the poisonous water quality, it is probably because the sulphurite dissolves in the water..."

Quoting scriptures is Mr. Wei's strong point, but Murong Qi is not in the mood to listen at the moment. The code on the thunder cone should be carved by him with the tip of another spear. Therefore, he deliberately let Kazama Flower get his weapon, and he expected Feng Will Jianhua use this lightning cone to disturb their minds?He left a message that only she could understand, did it mean that he was fine?

Longmian Lake... Will she be able to see him when she arrives at Longmian Lake?

The two of them had been heading southwest, but now they turned west. Fortunately, they were not too far away, and they could see a small piece of sparkling lake before sunset.There are tangled and lush trees growing around the shore of the lake, and the branches are covered with white snow, but the lake is not frozen. Even because the trees block the wind, there are only small waves on the water surface, silently beating against the grassy slopes on the shore.

The lake is very small, Murong Qi quickly circled around, and found the same code on the trunk of a tree on the shore as on the gun.Following the direction indicated by the signal, she quickly found and found the next place. Just like that, she supported Wei Nange, and slowly went deep into a small forest along a small tributary hidden among the bushes by the lake.

Perhaps because of the hot springs here, the trees are more lush than other places, and most of the leaves are still full of green, which is quite a bit like the hot spring valley in the Red Moon Palace.The location of the third signal was a small clearing in the forest, next to the tributary. In this clearing, they found the ashes of the campfire and some blood-stained cloth belts, but there was no one there.

The code is broken here, and the next one can never be found.At this time, the sky had turned completely dark, so they had to rest for a while. This place was sheltered from the wind, and it was warmer than other places. When she lit the fire with the remaining dead branches, they looked back, and the exhausted Master Wei was already leaning on the tree trunk. He fell into a deep sleep.

From the ruins of the ancient city all the way to Longmian Lake, Wei Nange followed her silently without a single complaint, but she also knew that such a hasty journey had reached its limit for an ordinary person like him who was seriously injured.

Murong Qi took off his cloak and lightly covered Wei Nange's body, then walked to the water's edge alone, picked up a handful of cold lake water and patted his cheek.

She was also very tired, but couldn't sleep at all.

where is he?

How did it hurt?

Since she was directed to come here, why didn't she appear?

Uncontrollable irritability began to pervade her heart, just like when she heard Kazama Hana's flawed words in the ruins of the ancient city that day, she lost her mind in a hurry and became confused.Because of him, all because of him!

She remembered that Ji Che once told her to keep calm at all times, so as to make the most correct judgment in a critical situation.It was so easy to say, she thought, and she probably would never be able to do it.

She stared blankly at her blurred reflection in the lake, he must not have guessed how much she missed him at this very moment.

Because, even she didn't expect it.

We've known each other for so long, and we've parted ways countless times, but it's the first time we're so entangled.It's all his fault. He clearly said he wanted to marry her, but he wanted to push her to Wei Nange, wouldn't he try harder?His composure, his patience, why are they gone?It's just a slap in the face, at worst, let him slap back.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, wishing she could grab him and ask him for clarification, but she didn't know where he was, so she angrily picked up a stone and threw it into the water forcefully, muttering fiercely: "If you don't show up again, I don't want you!"

The sound of stones entering the water was very clear in the dark night. The water splashed and the fire flickered, as if something faintly flashed through the water.

Murong Qi put his hand on the dagger at his waist immediately, and looked vigilantly towards the water.At this moment, the water splash suddenly parted, and one person broke through the water.

He only poked out his upper body, and the black clothes on his body were completely wet, but his eyes were like colored glaze in the dark night, looking into her eyes unexpectedly.

Murong Qi stared at him blankly, drops of water rolled down from the tip of his hair, her gaze unconsciously followed, passing over his deep eyebrows, straight nose bridge, tightly pursed corners of lips, broken hair sticking to his face. On his neck, the neckline was slightly open, revealing a small piece of chest... She looked carefully, not even letting go of the opals by his ears and the messy tassels on the hair rope.Every glance is so familiar, yet so different—yes, this is him, the person she misses day and night, he is back!
With a slight sigh in her throat, she crouched down and hugged him tightly.

"Seven seven?"

Although Ji Che was also very surprised to see each other suddenly, he obviously didn't react as violently as Murong Qi. He wanted to push her hand away, but he met with resistance. Instead of letting go of him, she hugged him even tighter. .

"You bastard." She buried her head in his shoulder and muttered.

"..." He stretched out his wet hand to touch her, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't.

"Okay, let me go first."

"Don't let go!" Murong Qi snorted, raised her head and gave him a look, which seemed angry or angry, Ji Che hadn't understood where the resentment in her eyes came from, suddenly felt a heat on her lips, she even bit his lip.

His whole body froze.

He even forgot to get up from the water. At that moment, all the senses in his body could only feel the woman in front of him.The memory of four years ago is still there, but the intimacy in the details has been blurred. How young and sweet she is, at this moment and here, those details are suddenly awakened, like falling into an old dream.

He stared blankly at her eyes, which were no more than an inch away, with long and curled eyelashes, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

She bit his lip back and forth, with slight ruthlessness. At the beginning, she felt some pain, but gradually, the pain turned into a heart-stopping itch, and the cold lips were slowly burning in the rubbing. The heat spread from the tip of the tongue to all the limbs, he finally couldn't help reaching out, clasped her waist, pressed her back of the head, pressed her closer, and then grabbed the tip of her restless tongue, allowing him to turn defense into offense , Wanton siege.

The years whizzed by between the lips and teeth, the greenness faded away, no longer evading, fulfilling the secret buried deep in the heart that year.

"Ah Choo" "Ah Choo" "Ah Choo"

The charming emotion ended with three loud sneezes in a row. Ji Che panted slightly. Looking at Murong Qi who suddenly turned his head, covered his mouth and sucked his nose, he realized that he was still in the water and was completely soaked. She was all wet.

He grabbed her waist, flew ashore, put her down by the fire, pulled a piece of clothing casually over her shoulders, gently wiped the water droplets from her hair, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: " Do you know what you're doing?"

They were very close, their foreheads were almost touching, her cheeks were flushed under the flickering fire, but her eyes did not evade, she looked straight at him, and replied: "I know."

His voice became hoarse: "Won't you regret it?"

She shook her head: "If you don't come back, I will regret it, and I will regret it to death."

He smiled, and the gleam in his eyes was extremely moving: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"I don't care." She reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, with a nasal tone as soft as a baby, "If you don't worry me, don't leave me alone to do such dangerous things again. "

He gave a soft "hmm".

"If you die like this, I will never forgive you!"

"Ah."

"Don't you have anything else to say to me other than 'um'?"

"..."

"It's such a cold day, how about you change your clothes first and talk about the old days?" A gentle and joking voice interrupted their conversation.

Wei Nange woke up at some point, holding Murong Qi's cloak in his hand, he didn't care about the moment of embarrassment when the two saw him, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything."

Murong Qi: "..."

Ji Che: "..."

At midnight, everything is quiet, except for the occasional crackling of firewood.

Ji Che quietly looked at Murong Qi who was lying beside him, her breathing was even and gentle, she was obviously fast asleep, but one hand still firmly grasped his skirt, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

After watching for a long time, he gently pulled her hand away, stood up alone, and walked towards the shore.

There, Wei Nange was sitting on a tree trunk, looking up at the dense stars in the clear sky.

Ji Che stood beside him and asked, "Does Master Wei not rest?"

"You slept for a long time before you came back, but you can't fall asleep now." Wei Nange looked up at him, "Did Qiqi sleep?"

Seeing Ji Che nodded, he smiled again and said, "She was exhausted after killing the enemy and protecting me all the way. Now that you are here, she can finally sleep peacefully."

Ji Che didn't know how to answer these words, so he asked, "How is your injury?"

"It's not very good, but it won't be fatal. It's okay." Wei Nange looked at the tall man in front of him, "Young leader led the Yonghe army away for us alone. He must have gone through a life-and-death struggle. If it wasn't for life and death, Fengjianhua wouldn't dare to claim you Already dead. Compared with you, my injury is really nothing. There is no way to repay the help of Master Shao, so I have to owe it first."

"Your Majesty Wei, you're welcome, I'm just..." At this point, he couldn't help but pause before continuing, "...I just don't like Feng Yuan's behavior."

"Is that all?" Wei Nange smiled knowingly, "I understand, you saved me because of Qiqi."

After being exposed, Ji Che no longer concealed it, nodded and said, "That's how it is."

"So?" Wei Nange gave him a meaningful look, "I've always wanted to ask you, since you're interested in her, why do you want to give in? The Young Leader doesn't seem like someone who will back down when encountering setbacks."

"Give it up?" Ji Che frowned, "I didn't mean that, but if you died, she would always remember you. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose when you fight with a dead person." As he spoke, he squinted He glanced at him, "What's more, if you are alive, the world can still be peaceful for a few days, lest you be taken advantage of by shameless people."

Wei Nange was startled, and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. In terms of peace in the world, I can indeed play some role, but the former..." He raised his eyes to look in Murong Qi's direction, "Even if I want to be with you today She won't give me a chance if I fight for it."

"...but when we were in Liaoyang Jingzhong, Qi Qi said it himself..." Ji Che finished speaking, but finally stopped, "Forget it, there is no need to mention the past."

Wei Nange sighed softly: "It is said that the world is like flowing water, and the past is hard to get back. Everything has a destiny, but I don't have this blessing."

Ji Che was silent for a moment, then said: "Even if you know this truth, the matter with the queen should be settled as soon as possible."

He said it bluntly, and Wei Nange wasn't angry when he heard it. He just slightly lowered his smile, nodded and said, "That's natural."
