The beauty is endless

Chapter 45
Murong Qi had a good sleep, it was probably the most comfortable sleep she had after leaving Zixia Pass.

The moment the sun shone into her eyes, she almost immediately remembered what happened last night. She stretched out her hand to touch her side, but when there was no one there, she immediately shouted: "Ache, where are you?"

"It seems that you are in good spirits." A faint voice came from behind her.

The tall and slender man in black stood under the strong sunlight, his eyes were stern, but there seemed to be a little tenderness in his expression. Why didn't she realize that before, he was so good-looking that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

She narrowed her eyes contentedly, showed him a bright smile, and said, "Ache, I'm hungry."

Ji Che's eyes flicked on her gray men's clothing, and took out a package from behind: "Go and change first, and then eat."

"Okay." Murong Qi answered kindly, jumped up quickly, picked up the package and rushed into the woods.

When she came out again, she was already a handsome and fresh girl from the Baishuo nomadic tribe. The cowhide belt and boots outlined a beautiful figure, her long hair was loose, and the stains on her face had been washed clean.

She sat down by the fire, looked at the boiling beef soup in the small iron pot, couldn't help sticking out her tongue.

Even though he couldn't take care of himself while fleeing, he could still get a change of clothes and food, even a pot...it's amazing.

"These are all in exchange for herdsmen scattered outside Tianhe City." Seeing her doubts, Ji Che explained while serving her soup, "The tributary of Longmian Lake can go all the way to the outside of Tianhe City. The city river is nearly half the distance compared to the land route.”

No wonder he appeared out of the water last night. It turned out that he came by water, and being good at water is self-willed.

"What did you use to change it?" She was really curious. Her luggage had been lost long ago due to the fights and killings along the way.

"Of course I have my own way."

"Tell me, tell me."

Looking at the shining phoenix eyes of the woman in front of him, Chief Ji Shao had to admit that it turned out that Murong Qi's coquettish behavior would also be overwhelming.

According to Ji Che, in the swamp that day, he tried to break through under the siege of many people, but in the end he was cornered by a group of people led by Feng Jianhua in a valley not far from Riyue Mountain. On the cliff, there is no way to retreat. After a hard fight, he was outnumbered and fell to the bottom of the cliff. The "Thunder Cone" in his left hand was injured and dropped, so it fell into the hands of Kazama Flower.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Hearing the story up to this point, Murong Qi was even more sure that he left the thunder cone intentionally. Based on what she knew about him, even if he was really cornered, he would not let himself lose. It's so embarrassing.

"There is a river at the bottom of the cliff here, leading to Longmian Lake. I already knew it when I studied the nearby terrain with Master Wei earlier." Ji Che did not deny it, "I can only delay a little time by myself, but I can't stop their actions .With Feng Yuan's ability, we will be able to find the ruins of the ancient city very quickly. It's better to let them think that I'm dead, and rest assured to chase you, so that I can act secretly."

He said it easily, but Murong Qi understands the danger. If he is a little careless, not only will the plan not go ahead, he may even be killed. it is true.

She couldn't help feeling scared, and couldn't help holding his hand, as if in this way, she could be sure that he was right by her side at the moment.But he hummed and said, "Are you so sure that after I get the thunder cone, I can escape safely with Mr. Wei, and I can find this place according to your tips?"

"uncertain."

Murong Qi originally wanted him to boast about his cleverness, wit and martial arts, but unexpectedly got such an answer, he couldn't help pinching his palm with his nails, gnashing his teeth and saying:

"You don't trust me! You haven't trusted me since you were a child!"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that there are accidents in everything." Ji Che pressed her restless hand firmly, "If you can't come, I will naturally go to you."

Why did he forget, he has always been so practical, sweet words to make her happy, this kind of skill, he didn't have it before, and he probably won't be able to learn it in the future, Murong Qi curled his lips helplessly, twitched his hand twice, but didn't pull it back, so he Let him go.

"Governor Ji Shao has kept the accident to a minimum." Wei Nange, who had always been in the background, finally said, "I guess, Commander Liang and Mo Zhu were able to find the ruins of the ancient city so quickly, it should be the news from you that they stopped Feng Jianhua, Qiqi will have a chance to get out of trouble, right?"

Ji Che raised his eyebrows, but did not deny it.

Anyway, because he didn't have confidence in her, Murong Qi continued to scratch his palm fiercely.

Wei Nange smiled casually, looking straight ahead over the small movements between the two of them, and said, "Since everyone is safe now, why don't you think about what to do next."

"Go to Tianhe City to find Wei Ji and Xiao Jiu as soon as possible, and then send you to see King Khan." Murong Qi said without thinking.

Ji Che nodded: "It only takes more than half a day from the waterway to Tianhe City. I will go there this afternoon. You stay here first."

Murong Qi immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

"No." Her proposal was flatly rejected by Ji Che, "Your Majesty Wei cannot be left alone. If there are more pursuers, how will you deal with it?"

In fact, Murong Qi also knew that even though Feng Jianhua was dead, it didn't mean Feng Yuan would stop.Besides, if what Feng Jianhua said is true, then Feng Yuan is in Tianhe City at the moment, and whether it is her or Wei Nange, entering the city rashly will be risky.

However, she had just met him, and she was really unwilling to part with him so soon and continue to watch him go into danger.

She was absent-mindedly listening to Wei Nange and Ji Che discussing which river to follow to enter the inner city, where to find Wei Ji and Murong Jiu, and what to say after seeing Wei Ji... These were all things she had thought about before. It's been a long time, but at this moment, I feel a little lack of interest. In the end, I simply stood up, walked to the water's edge alone, and sat on the bank in a daze.

Anyway, with him here, everything will be arranged properly.He has been sensible and considerate since he was a child, not as emotional as her...Anyway, he will not understand her mood.

After an unknown amount of time, light footsteps sounded in her ears, and someone sat down beside her. The familiar atmosphere made her know who it was without raising her head.

"Qiqi, Master Wei will leave you alone."

She was silent.

"If everything goes well, someone will come to pick you up in three days. If the situation changes, take Mr. Wei to find a way to go to Zixia Pass first after three days. Remember not to enter the city."

She still doesn't speak.

"Seven seven?"

He stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and pulled her around forcefully. Now she had no choice but to meet his gaze, and said angrily, "What if I say no?"

"..." Ji Che sighed softly, "Master Wei is seriously injured, and you don't know how to swim, this is the best arrangement. And—" he paused, before saying, "Feng Yuan is also here Tianhe City, I don't want him to see you."

Murong Qi froze for a moment, she seemed to see uneasiness, a little sullenness and a trace of embarrassment in her usually cold and calm eyes.

The mood suddenly improved.

Hmm, this explanation... She can barely accept it.

She then stretched out her hand and cupped his face vaguely, the short beard on his chin that hadn't been shaved for several days pierced her palm.

"Ache." She bit her lip, her face blushing slightly, "Do you still remember what you asked me at the Sword Holding Villa? I thought about it for a long time, and decided to agree to you. So, you must All right, wait there for me!"

He looked at her steadfastly, as if he had to chew on the words just now. After a long while, he lowered his head and slightly bent the corners of his lips, stretched out his right hand to hold her right hand, and slowly moved it to his lips. A solemn and gentle kiss fell on the palm of his hand.

"Well, I'm waiting for you."

In fact, since the reunion last night, he still has a lot of things he wants to ask her, but now he knows that he no longer needs the answers to these questions.

At this moment, here, with the person in front of me and the warmth of my palm, this is enough.

Already worth it.

The food and daily necessities that the supernatural Ji Che exchanged from the herdsmen were enough for Murong Qi and Wei Nange to live through these three days without any worries. During the three days, Murong Qi chatted about the world and Wei Nange talked History story, time flies by.

At noon on the third day, Murong Qi, who had eyes and ears, heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance. After going up a tree to observe, he called Wei Nange to the lake where they first discovered Ji Che's code.

A light carriage is parked there, the body is decorated with a peculiar lotus flower pattern, and the flower center is dotted with various gemstones, which looks quite ostentatious.

Murong Qi knew who was coming at a glance, "Tsk", and before he could speak, the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a handsome face with a wicked smile.

"Little sister, do you miss your brother?"

"..."

"Don't you miss me? I miss you so much, I wish you could come to Tianhe City to watch a good show." Murong Jiu, who was dressed in crimson, walked down from the car lightly, and did not forget to say hello to Wei Nange, "Oh, Brother Wei, it's been a long time No, you look a little embarrassed, I almost don't recognize you."

Wei Nange returned the salute with a smile, but Murong Qi frowned: "Good show? What good show?"

"I'll tell you slowly on the way." Murong Jiu took out a white jade bottle from his arms and threw it into her arms, "Here, the newly developed facial cleanser can powerfully remove any stains on the skin, wash your face and hands quickly Get in the car."

Murong Qi who was about to climb into the car thought he heard it wrong: "Why wash your face at this time?"

"Although it's none of my business, it's hard for me to bear to see a face that looks exactly like mine so unkempt." Fei Yi, the former prince of Xin County and now his son, rolled his eyes at his twin sister, "Good boy, Wash your face first."

"..." If it wasn't for other important matters, I really wanted to beat him up.

While hesitating, the bottle in his hand had already been taken away by Wei Nange, and Mr. Shoufu smiled gently and said, "Lend me to use it too. Correct clothes and clear appearance are the foundation of my life as a gentleman."

"..."

The carriage carried three people and slowly drove away from the shore of Longmian Lake.

"Where's Ache?"

As soon as she got in the car, Murong Qi asked her the question she wanted to know the most.

"He is very good. He had a fight with Wei Ji when he first entered the palace. After the fight, the two of them looked at each other very well, although I don't understand that these two people have been together for a long time without saying a word. What's the point, if it were the two of us, we would have been suffocated to death."

"..." Speaking of Wei Ji, she thought of the important point, "You just left? How will Wei Ji explain?"

"I have to leave to explain." Murong Jiu said without thinking, took out the candied fruit hidden in the dark compartment and ate a few mouthfuls, and then said, "The quasi-twelve concubines who are in Tianhe City have been arrested. Xiying Emperor Ji was accidentally killed, and the twelve princes were distraught, even though they hadn't formally entered the family, they personally put on mourning for the princess, and it became a good story in Tianhe City."

He leaned over treacherously and said: "So there is no such person as Twelve Princess Murong Yan in this world anymore, you can follow me into the city later, don't let yourself be caught."

The plot suddenly turned around. Wei Nange, who was drinking water, suddenly choked and coughed, while Murong Qi, one of the protagonists, was dumbfounded.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Murong Jiu didn't like to hear these words: "I'm not doing it for you. Look at you, you only know how to make love and debts everywhere but don't know how to clean up the mess. How can you be like my sister? It hurts so much for my brother, it's a crime. "

Why did this guy and her have the same parents!She also thinks it's a crime, okay?
According to Murong Jiu, the thing is like this——

Ever since Murong Jiu replaced Murong Qi as the quasi-twelve princesses and went to Tianhe City with Wei Ji, he has been very boring every day, except sending spies from the Kaye Palace Secret Society to sneak into Chiyue Palace to investigate the whereabouts of Tianhe City's defense map, and Apart from the clues that Murong Qi gave him, there was only eating, drinking, playing, dressing up and chatting with Wei Ji, but Bai Shuo's diet was not to his liking, and Wei Ji was a young man who cherished words like gold, so he had to work hard to dress up, and put his clothes on every day. Dressed up in a dazzling manner, he soon became the target of all the girls in Tianhe City to imitate.

For this, Murong Qi could only send him the word "hehe".

However, this situation changed soon after Feng Yuan arrived.

According to the news from the people of the Secret Society, the situation in Chiyue City is not optimistic. Although the old fox Ban Weilian verbally acknowledged Fengyuan Juze's identity and agreed to his marriage with Ban Weizhi, in fact, he has been doing it all the time. Wait and see, the engagement ceremony of the two has also been delayed again and again, and it is kept secret to the outside world.At such a time, not only did Feng Yuan not stay in Wangcheng, nor was he in a hurry to appease Ban Weizhi, but instead he rushed all the way to Tianhe City in the name of delivering military supplies for King Khan, which was really not a wise move.

Murong Qi had already learned about this matter from Feng Jianhua, but with her in-depth understanding of Feng Yuan, if there were no special circumstances, he would never act hastily. If he wanted to keep her, why did he have to go to Tianhe The city, earlier in the Red Moon Palace, had plenty of opportunities.

"Did you do something?" Looking at the complacent Murong Jiu, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"It's nothing, I just spread some random rumors..." He glanced at her, then stepped back a little, "It's like the twelve princesses conceived out of wedlock, the prince was young and energetic, and wanted to accept the side concubine... and so on. .”

Murong Qi was furious, and rushed forward again: "Murong Jiu, you really want to die!"

Murong Jiu, who had been prepared for a long time, flashed sideways and nimbly, stretched out his hand to hold her fierce fist, and said: "These rumors are just to test him. If he ignores it and only wants to be Baishuo Diji, it will be considered after all. I won't embarrass him, anyway, whoever of these conspirators wins has nothing to do with us, but if he comes to you because of this..." He snorted softly, "Whether you want a country or a beauty, what in the world? With such a good thing, he can't let you go, but he wants to marry someone else, how can it be so easy to be equal to others, I just let him fetch water from a bamboo basket!"

Murong Qi was stunned, and muttered: "I don't like him, whoever he wants to marry has nothing to do with me."

"Whether you like him or not, the girl from our Murong family is worthy of being a hero in the world, how can she be bullied like this?" He let go of her fist and gently stroked her hair: "Don't worry, brother I will vent my anger on you."

Murong Qi looked into his smiling eyes, no matter what he punched, he couldn't continue.
