The sun is gradually sinking. In the winter desert, the temperature is similar to the outside during the day, but it is extremely cold at night. The bright moon adds more firewood, and turns to look at the half-clothed woman over there. It is so cold at night, and the whole night has passed. , she might die here...
Her heart finally softened, she made a pot of broth, hugged two more blankets and trotted over.
The woman's lips turned purple from the cold, and her whole body was trembling. Jiaoyue quickly wrapped the blanket around her, unscrewed the pot and handed it to her, "You should drink something hot first!"
The woman forced a smile, and her hand that took the pot was a little unsteady. The long-lost heat made her heart warm, and she drank the soup in a few mouthfuls.
Jiao Yue smiled, took the pot and said, "I'll get you another pot!"
This time, Jiaoyue took some more meat and pushed it to the woman for her to eat. The woman held the thing in her hand, with tears in her eyes, and choked with sobs: "Thank you..."
Jiao Yue sat down next to her and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank my young master."
"You are all good people..." The woman shed tears while eating the meat.
Jiao Yue quickly helped her wipe it, but when it touched her face, she felt the ice was scary, so she said, "Why don't you go over and warm yourself up by the fire? You're so cold!"
The woman looked at the fire hesitantly, "But..."
Jiao Yue took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Don't look at the cold face of the young master. She is a very nice person. No one is chasing her at the moment. You can go over and warm yourself by the fire. We can go separately during the day."
"You..." The woman was stunned, but the bright moon had already pulled her towards the fire.
The woman looked at Jinglan and couldn't help but feel ashamed. They didn't agree to take her. She must have guessed it...
"Whoosh!" The whistle of an arrow piercing the air came. The woman pushed Gaoyue, and the two fell to the ground. When they looked back, they saw an arrow stuck right where they were standing.
Jiao Yue stood up and looked at several black horses running side by side in the distance. She held the woman's hand and said, "Are they the ones who are chasing you?!"
The woman lay on the ground, listening carefully with her ear against the sand. Suddenly her body started to tremble, and her voice had an obvious tremor, "He's coming... He's coming!"
"Who is here?" Jiao Yue wanted to ask, but then she thought that now was not the time to talk about this, so she quickly pulled her up and said, "Let's go quickly!"
"No...!" The woman screamed and pushed her away, stepping back. "He's coming. I can't run away. If I'm with you, I'll hurt you. You should leave quickly!"
Jiao Yue became anxious and pulled her up again, "As long as the young master is here, no one can hurt you. Come with me quickly!"
In a blink of an eye, the men on horseback with arrows on their backs were in front of them. They took out arrows from their backs and pointed them at the woman and the bright moon. The woman gritted her teeth and stood forward, opened her arms and closed her eyes. Just die, it would be better than falling into the hands of that beast!
"Whoosh whoosh!" There were three arrow sounds, but the expected pain did not come. The woman opened her eyes, and unexpectedly two people appeared in front of her!
Mei Er and Su Huan dropped the feather arrows in their hands and rushed towards several horses. They dodged several feather arrows and jumped up in front of the horses. They raised their feet to hit the people on the horses. Kicked down. Five people from Hua Yin followed, each holding the other captive.
Mei Er took out the flag in their luggage, shook it open and saw that it was half a yellow sun disk with a flame shape around it.
After escorting the person, Mei Er handed the flag to Hua Jinglan, "Sir, they may be rangers from some tribe."
"Let me see!" Murong Wei walked over quickly, but her eyes trembled fiercely the moment she touched the flag, "Cocodoa...!"
After a second of silence, Chun Yuyan turned her head and looked into the distance. There was still no trace of anyone there, "They are not far away."
Hua Jinglan held her chin up and looked at the woman, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that we have provoked an incredible person this time."
The woman lowered her head, grabbed the blanket around her body, and whispered: "Yes... it's Cocodoa..."
"If you dare to take away my king's woman privately, you will never leave the desert alive!" a ranger who was kneeling on the ground said harshly.
Hua Jinglan raised her eyebrows, "It turns out it's a family matter, there's no reason for us to get involved..."
"No! No!" the woman shouted in shame and anger, "I was forced!"
"Shameless woman, it is your honor to be favored by my king, but you dare to escape, we will stone you to death!"
"Shut your mouth, it's too noisy." Hua Jinglan waved her hand.
Hua Yin and the other five people neatly clicked on the dumb points of several people.
"Sir, do we want to save her...?" Jiao Yue asked carefully.
"It depends on the number of people on the other side," Hua Jinglan said without any emotion: "If the power is overwhelming..." She said and looked at the woman, "Just accept your fate."
The woman shuddered heavily, but had to accept this fact.
A group of people sat around the fire, no one said anything, they could only hear the crackling of firewood, and everyone listened to the sounds in the desert.
"I, my name is Zai, I am the daughter of the leader of the Yuxi clan. My tribe has been occupied by the Cocodoa clan. I am the only one who escaped..." Zai covered his face, "The Kokodoa clan is cruel and domineering. Only Only a saint can punish them..."
"The Kokodoya clan has become king. Their ambitions can be expressed and their forces have been annexed. Tribal war is inevitable. There is no other choice but to obey and fight." Hua Jinglan leaned in Chunyuyan's arms and said while looking at the jumping flames.
Zai looked at the two of them with tears in his eyes, but both of them were as cold as ice. How cruel was it to end the fresh life with a cold word? !
"No, the saint will save us!" Zai said hopefully: "Punish the Cocodoa clan just like we punished the sand bandits thirty years ago!"
Hua Jinglan shook her head gently, raised her eyes and smiled at Chun Yuyan, "Are you cold?"
Chun Yuyan hugged her tighter, smiled, covered her hand, and said, "Is it still cold like this?"
"Much better." Hua Jinglan nestled against his chest, trying her best to stay close to him, absorbing the heat radiating from his body.
Horse hooves resounded like thunder through the desert, and the black horse team came running wildly with sand and dust, reflecting a dark red under the slanting sunlight...!
