The bright sunshine fell, as if a layer of golden light was spread on his palm. Shen Xihe smiled and raised her hand, gently placing her hand on his palm. He quickly held it tightly, and led Shen Xihe all the way up the mountain, and went down the mountain from the other side. There was already a carriage waiting on the side of the road.
Xiao Huayong took Shen Xihe to the carriage and let her lean on his shoulder: "We are going to Liangzhou, you take a rest for a while."
This place is still some distance away from Liangzhou. Xiao Huayong made a mess here, but he took Shen Xihe and went straight to Liangzhou. Even if Xiao Changfeng was not caught, facing such a mess, even if he guessed that they had left the city, it would be impossible for him to leave and catch up.
Shen Xihe thought about the journey and fell asleep leaning against Xiao Huayong. Xiao Huayong turned his head to look at her peaceful and defenseless sleeping face. He always felt that he could keep looking at her like this until the end of time. His eyes were so gentle that he himself was probably unaware of it, and it was enough to drown a person.
But this kind of tenderness did not last long. After only half an hour, his face darkened.
"Your Highness, do you want me to..." The carriage did not stop. Someone on horseback followed the carriage and asked for instructions across the carriage.
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Huayong took out a bone whistle and blew it.
Shen Xihe heard the sound of the bone whistle in a daze and opened her eyes sleepily. Before she could ask anything, Xiao Huayong stroked her hair and said, "We still have a long way to go. Let's rest for a while."
His rock-steady attitude made the alert Shen Xihe lose his habits. Out of trust in him, Shen Xihe just found a comfortable position and fell asleep again.
Xiao Changying caught up with the carriage that Xiao Huayong and Shen Xihe were carrying. It was at this time that he realized that Xiao Huayong had arrived. At this point, he should have turned around without worry, but he didn't know why he just wanted to follow.
Or maybe he just wanted to know what their purpose was, or maybe he just wanted to take a closer look at her. Less than an hour after following her, a huge bird flew down from the sky, flew straight towards him, and knocked him off his horse.
This Saker Falcon looks too familiar. Its fur color and majestic appearance are enough to make people unforgettable.
Saker Falcon would never live in such a place, nor would it attack people without reason. Thinking of the various events in the hunting ground two years ago, how could he not know that this Saker Falcon might have been tamed and controlled by someone long ago, and the person who could control such a Saker Falcon was his elder brother, the Crown Prince—Xiao Huayong.
Therefore, Xiao Huayong knew that he was following him and sent Saker Falcon to warn him.
When the Saker Falcon saw him fall, it spread its wings and flew into the sky, seemingly not wanting to hurt him. He was a little unconvinced, so he jumped on his horse and continued to move forward. However, he was suddenly attacked from behind by the Saker Falcon again. Its speed was so fast that it was frightening, and Xiao Changying was scratched on the shoulder.
The wound was not deep, so it should only be a slight punishment. If he dared to move forward again, I'm afraid it would be even more rude. Xiao Changying sat on the horse, looking at the Saker Falcon circling in the sky, and was very curious about how his brother, the prince, trained a bird to be so humane.
After watching for a while, Xiao Changying looked forward again, in the direction where the carriage disappeared. He pulled the reins and turned the horse's head. Although he didn't know what Xiao Huayong and Shen Xihe were doing, he felt that since they had come here and left Xiao Changfeng behind, they must be going to the northwest. So he would turn around and go to the northwest to wait.
