In the dark and lonely grove, a bright bonfire was lit. The fire light danced and made a "crackling" sound, illuminating the expressions on people's faces.
There were three people around the campfire, two sitting and one lying down. The person lying down was curled up in a thick quilt, with a piece of fire tiger skin underneath him. The soft tiger skin had the power of fire and could automatically bring warmth to people.
These three people were Ye Xiuwen, Jun Xiaomo and Rong Ruihan. Because the temperature dropped sharply after nightfall, and because they were sleeping in the wild, in the thick fog, the coldness penetrated from the surface of the body to the bone marrow. .
After Ye Xiuwen lit the bonfire, he was worried that "Yao Mo" sleeping on the ground would catch a cold, so he added quilts and blankets to "him" and wrapped Jun Xiaomo into a tight ball, with only one exposed Tiny brain.
The potion of Chunhunxiang had just worn off, and it was warm under the quilt. Under the light of the campfire, Jun Xiaomo's face had two blushes, which made her delicate little face look pitiful and cute.
Perhaps because he felt that the quilt was too tight and uncomfortable, Jun Xiaomo pulled the edge of the quilt with his hands to get out, and murmured a few times in a daze.
Ye Xiuwen helped her loosen the quilt, then put his hand on Jun Xiaomo's cheek and patted her comfortingly.
Jun Xiaomo reflexively grabbed Ye Xiuwen's hand, placed it next to his cheek, rubbed it with nostalgia, and murmured something in his mouth.
This sound was not "senior brother" but "brother Ye". Ye Xiuwen's heartstrings were gently plucked, and the hand that was about to be withdrawn continued to be placed next to Jun Xiaomo's cheek.
Jun Xiaomo seemed to have seen something beautiful in his sleep. He raised the corners of his lips, revealing his two dimples, and fell into a more fragrant dream.
Rong Ruihan looked on without speaking. He could see that the intimacy between Ye Xiuwen and "Yao Mo" could hardly tolerate the interference of a third person. For some reason, this feeling made him a little restless and upset.
A sound of flapping wings came over, especially in this quiet grove. Rong Ruihan was about to be alert when he saw a small paper crane flapping its wings and landing on Ye Xiuwen's shoulder.
This is a paper crane for Ye Xiuwen.
Ye Xiuwen frowned slightly, wondering who would send him a sound-transmitting paper crane in the middle of the night.
Is it something within the sect
Ye Xiuwen opened the paper crane, and Di Le's voice jumped out of the paper crane, saying: "Senior Brother Ye, Lieyan Kingdom's National Master may want to hunt you and Yao Mo down. Leave this town quickly and don't come back!"
Di Le's handwriting was still shining in the paper crane. The words on it were crooked and very sloppy, obviously written in a hurry.
Ye Xiuwen's expression became serious, and the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line.
He did not expect that tonight's incident would have such serious consequences. Logically speaking, the injuries he caused to the second prince were not enough to attract Lieyan Kingdom's national advisor.
Those injuries were minor injuries and could be cured by taking an ordinary healing pill. Why did it cause so much trouble
Ye Xiuwen could not have imagined that after he and Jun Xiaomo left, the irrational eldest prince almost bloodbathed the second prince's mansion and even punched the second prince in the chest.
The eldest prince also had no memory of what happened after he lost his mind. He raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "What did you do to offend that old guy?"
"When I was rescuing Xiao Mo, I injured the second prince." Ye Xiuwen said calmly, without elaborating on the cause and effect.
However, Rong Ruihan still knew a lot about the second emperor's younger brother. One look at "Yao Mo"'s appearance and he was able to guess about it.
After so many years, the second emperor's brother has really not improved at all. He is nothing but lustful. There is a trace of disgust in Rong Ruihan's eyes.
"It's no wonder that old guy wants to fight for you. My 'good' emperor brother is the old guy's heartthrob. Even the slightest scratch can arouse the old guy's wrath."
Rong Ruihan said mockingly, mentioning the Imperial Master and Rong Yebin with a cold tone.
Ye Xiuwen did not accept Ruihan's words. He threw a few dry branches into the bonfire and fell into deep thought.
The long night finally passed, and a bright light appeared on the horizon. After tossing about for most of the night and sleeping for less than half the night, Jun Xiaomo woke up leisurely to the sound of birdsong in the early morning.
She opened her eyes, and it took her slow brain a moment to realize that she was not lying on the bed of the inn, but in the woods outside Xingping Town.
"Are you awake?" Ye Xiuwen noticed the movement around him and asked sideways.
Because he hadn't slept all night, Ye Xiuwen didn't seem to be in a very good condition at this time. His eyes were filled with thin bloodshot eyes and his voice was a bit hoarse.
"Brother Ye, your curtain hat..." Jun Xiaomo looked into Ye Xiuwen's dark eyes and found that he was not wearing a curtain hat.
Ye Xiuwen rubbed Jun Xiaomo's head and said, "I won't wear it anymore."
He used to dislike other people's strange and frightened looks when they stared at the scars on his face, and Jun Xiaomo's unintentional act when he was a child made Ye Xiuwen develop the habit of wearing a hood all the time. habit.
However, now that "Yao Mo" was approaching her without fear again and again, cracks opened in Ye Xiuwen's heart wrapped in layers of ice, and the long-lost warmth poured in, making him understand that this world There are still people in the world who will face the scar on his face with a normal attitude.
Last night, after "Yao Mo" took off the hat from his head, Ye Xiuwen never thought about picking it up again - he didn't care about other people's eyes at all, as long as the people he cared about in his heart could treat him as always You are enough.
Jun Xiaomo smiled, stretched out his hand from the quilt, held Ye Xiuwen's palm, and said to him with crooked eyelashes: "It doesn't matter if you don't wear it, I have already got the Black Moon Grass, as long as I still find some elixir, I can help Brother Ye configure the elixir."
Ye Xiuwen felt even warmer in his heart, but the "Xuanyue Grass" mentioned by Jun Xiaomo also reminded him of the bad things that happened to the second prince and Lieyan Kingdom's national master.
"Xiao Mo, I'm afraid you and I have to be separated for a while." Ye Xiuwen patted Jun Xiaomo on the head and said as calmly as possible.
"Why?!" Jun Xiaomo sat up anxiously, grabbed Ye Xiuwen's arm and asked.
"Because of what happened last night, Lieyan Kingdom's national master is eyeing us, and he may cause trouble for us. I was the one who injured the second prince, and it has nothing to do with you. As long as I distract him..."
"No!" Jun Xiaomo's eyes suddenly turned red, "Obviously it was me who caused this incident. If I hadn't self-righteously ran to the Second Prince's mansion to get the Xuanyue Grass last night, you wouldn't have interacted with that person at all. Guys, take it on!"
Ye Xiuwen sighed softly and said: "This is the best way, Xiaomo, although I don't know your origin, but I think your background is not bad. Only when you return to your parents can they have the ability." protect you."
Ye Xiuwen had no chance of winning against the national master of Lie Yan Kingdom. After all, the opponent had reached the middle stage of becoming a god, and he was only at the peak of level 12 Qi training, which was not enough.
My father is your master, and I can’t look down upon the national master of Lieyan Kingdom! Jun Xiaomo thought anxiously and angrily in his heart.
Jun Xiaomo recalled scenes from his previous life. Because of his damn sense of responsibility, Ye Xiuwen gave up the chance of survival to himself again and again, which also led to his final death!
"Brother Ye, I'm leaving my words here. If you insist on moving separately from me, I will place a tracking charm on you, and I will follow you wherever you run!" Jun Xiaomo said through gritted teeth, like a The ferocious little beast whose tail was stepped on glared at Ye Xiuwen angrily.
Ye Xiuwen was touched and a little dumbfounded. He could only stroke Jun Xiaomo's head and said nothing.
Rong Ruihan looked at the interaction between the two, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, which even he himself was not aware of.
At this moment, another sound of flapping wings came over, this time it fell on Rong Ruihan.
The sound transmission paper crane has the exclusive runes of Rong Ruihan's force on it. Only Rong Ruihan himself can open the paper crane. If an outsider insists on opening it, the paper crane will spontaneously ignite. disappear.
Rong Ruihan bit his fingertip and wiped a little blood on it. The paper crane opened automatically and turned into a small note.
After browsing through the contents of the note, Rong Ruihan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
A flash of fire burst out from Rong Ruihan's palm. After Rong Ruihan read the letter, the note automatically burned and disappeared.
"I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved." Rong Ruihan said to the other two people present in a slightly serious tone, "Just now, the spies I planted in the second emperor's brother's mansion came with news that Rong Yebin was beaten to death. Seriously injured, the Imperial Master is furious and is preparing to liquidate everyone present last night."
"Severely injured? It's impossible. Brother Ye and I don't have the ability to seriously injure him." Jun Xiaomo said very depressed.
"I was the one who severely injured Rong Yebin last night." Rong Ruihan said calmly. "After I lost my mind, I went to Rong Yebin's mansion for some reason and beat him seriously."
Rong Ruihan didn't feel a little upset about this. After all, sooner or later he would have to face the national division, it was just a matter of time.
Now that Rong Yebin was seriously injured, there was no guarantee that it would not be a chance to survive. Rong Yebin's constant pressure on him had already annoyed him.
Rong Ruihan's calmness did not affect Jun Xiaomo's mood. She patted her head and said: "It's over, it's over. The second prince was actually seriously injured. With the old guy's protective mentality of the Imperial Master, it is certain that last night He will not let go of anyone who has hurt the Second Prince."
This was also the reason why Jun Xiaomo did not use a powerful talisman last night. It was not difficult to seriously injure the second prince. The difficult thing was how to deal with the overwhelming anger of the big backer behind the second prince. Her current strength has not even reached one ten thousandth of what she was at the peak of her previous life, and she would almost only have the word "death" when facing a national master.
Could it be that she was on the road to escape earlier than in her previous life? Jun Xiaomo frowned, his heart heavy as if filled with lead salt.
