The mist is dim, and a ray of morning light shines through the gaps in the forest on the dew on the branches and leaves of the plants, crystal clear.
A big foot suddenly stepped over, and dewdrops instantly fell on the ground.
Li Jing's bare feet covered with mud finally stepped on dry ground, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, why is this swamp so far away!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the empress lying on his back.
"How about it, it has to be me, right? If you hadn't followed me, you might have had no choice but to crawl over with your internal energy exhausted."
The empress who was being carried on his back was a little pale, but there was a bit of anger in her pretty eyebrows.
"Let me down! I can survive without you!"
At this moment, Li Jing hung the long and wide Longquan Sword around his neck with a crude vine, holding the empress with both hands behind his back, and came from the swamp over there. His face was not red and he was out of breath, but he looked a little downcast. .
Li Jing made a sound, and then lifted up the empress. She could not help but touch a piece of plumpness between her fingers, but Li Jing, who had long been accustomed to this texture, had a pale expression on her face.
"Stop bragging, who almost fell while walking? Yesterday, I lost a lot of internal energy. Don't show off. When I find the Corpse Ancestor, he may have some elixirs that can be used, and there will still be a fight to come. "
The empress's beautiful eyes flashed with anger, and her chest rose and fell violently.
Li Jing's body froze and he coughed dryly: "Let it go, let it go... Who wants to carry you all the time..."
Just as he was crouching down, he received a sharp kick on his back. Fortunately, Li Jing reacted quickly enough. If he hadn't put his hands on the ground for support, he would have ended up looking like a dog chewing mud.
After rubbing her back and getting up, Li Jing walked to the swamp over there, put her muddy feet in and swung around to wash them.
"baffling!"
The empress over there returned to her handsome and graceful appearance, and the faint blush on her face did not disappear for some time.
"Among thousands of armies, the power of an individual is limited after all. If the other party came yesterday with any well-trained elite troops, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape."
The cloth boots had been soaked in water and discarded when she came here. Li Jing rolled up the wet trousers, stood up barefoot, and said curiously:
"You can't leave alone?"
The empress shook her head: "It is inevitable that we will be hit hard. The well-trained archers will not leave us breathing time like yesterday... You have never seen the scene of thousands of cavalry attacking. In that case, how many heavenly positions can we take?" It’s no use.”
"In this world, only the army can resist the army."
Li Jing nodded, thinking about whether Yuan Tiangang could fight an army alone, while picking up the Longquan Sword put aside.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Do you still have to carry me on my back? Lao Li, I still have some strength..."
The empress snorted slightly.
"OK."
"What's wrong with our relationship? What's there to be ashamed of... huh?"
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then startled.
Empress Fengmu sneered and nodded slightly: "I'm afraid I have to be carried on your back all the way."
Li Jing touched the short stubble on his chin, looked at the empress who couldn't figure out the details, walked over and squatted down.
"Are you still joking now?"
Then a touch of fragrance came from behind: "Let's go, don't be too hasty, I'll take a moment."
Li Jing was confused, feeling the soft body on his back, and supported the empress to stand up.
what's the situation……
…
The sky was completely white, and the not-too-dark sunlight shone on Li Jing's head.
Feeling the faint breath on his neck, Li Jing squinted and looked ahead.
It took a full hour to get out of the dense forest, and finally reached an empty area where the vegetation was not particularly lush, but I didn't know which direction to go.
The empress really fell asleep on his back, and with no one to discuss with, Li Jing chose the direction by the sun and walked towards the south.
Where did Hou Qing and Chi Meng go...
The sunlight lengthened the shadows of the two of them. Li Jing was thinking about messy things in her mind, wielding the Longquan Sword in her hand and cutting off the tips of the weeds on the roadside.
When I was young, if I had this sword in my hand, all the cauliflowers would be headless.
"boring……"
The empress' faint voice came from behind, and Li Jing paused.
"How long have you been awake...and you haven't said a word for a long time."
Seeing that the empress fell silent again, Li Jing continued to move forward.
"Even in my hometown, even if you are a girlfriend, it is impossible to carry her for dozens of miles... I am very interested in you."
The empress rested her head on Li Jing's back, looking sideways at the shadows of the two people on the ground moving forward unhurriedly.
"I don't know if you've heard of it, oh... Journey to the West hasn't been written yet. Once it's written, you'll know. There's a story about Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back, which is about a thankless thing."
Li Jing passed the time talking nonsense all the way, regardless of whether the empress heard or not, she just said whatever came to her mind.
In the end, the empress on her back stopped moving again, and Li Jing turned her head and glanced behind her.
"Asleep again?"
Seeing that the empress made no movement, Li Jing curled her lips and continued to stride forward.
"Before watching anime, you could be considered one of my wives..."
"If I could become emperor, I would definitely give you a queen..."
In a place where Li Jing could not see, the corners of the mouth on the beautiful face were slightly raised, feeling the calmness of the back.
"Well, of course..."
Li Jing's words came out again, the empress frowned, and a cold voice sounded in Li Jing's ears.
"Put me down!"
Li Jing, who was silently meditating, was stunned: "Are you awake? Didn't you say you have to carry it all the way..."
The empress' face was full of indifference.
"Why do I need you to carry me? Put me down!"
Li Jing didn't know what to think, so she squatted down and put the empress on the ground.
"It's strange, isn't it? You, your internal strength, have recovered?"
The empress snorted coldly, walked away with her hands behind her hands, and walked forward alone.
Li Jing made a cut, but knowing that a woman's heart was deep in her heart, she didn't bother to argue with her, and continued to move forward with her sword on her shoulder.
The two of them walked towards the south one after another against the sunlight. Li Jing, who was looking quite bored, pricked up his ears and heard a vague sound coming from the front.
The empress who had been ignoring him with a cold face stopped at the same time and turned to look at him.
Li Jing nodded slightly, and the two of them disappeared from the spot and rushed towards a small forest in front of them.
It's not really appropriate to call it a forest, but there are only a few trees growing sparsely, which provide a little shade.
The closer the distance, the clearer the voice in front. Li Jing frowned and heard a very familiar delicate voice.
"You fake! Where are Xiao Guo Guo and Miss Sister now!"
It's Chi Meng...
Li Jing and the empress looked at each other and began to slow down.
"Little girl, don't pester us! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Chi Meng's voice sounded immediately: "Just do it! Corpse Ancestor, play the flute I taught you!"
Li Jing looked at the man in red who was surrounded by several figures in the forest, his eyes flashed with sharp light.
The empress looked at the figure that was very similar to Li Jing, and frowned at Li Jing.
I saw Li Jing walking over without hesitation and calling out:
"Zi Ancestor, Chi Meng."
Hearing the movement here, everyone in the forest turned their heads and looked over. Among them, a young man with slightly immature eyebrows met Li Jing's eyes.
The legs of his trousers were slightly rolled up, his feet were bare, and a heavy sword was gently inserted at his feet, giving him a desolate look.
The sword eyebrows fly into the temples, the nose is as sharp as a knife, the face is resolute, and with a smile that seems to have been prepared for a long time, he stands with his hands behind his back.
"I've admired you for a long time..."
"Li Xingyun."
