Before dark, Ye Xun's group did not pass through any villages or towns, but they found a dilapidated temple and stayed here for the night.
Pushing the goods into the courtyard, the place was already overgrown with weeds. Dongfang Zhi ordered a group of disciples to clean up the place and free up the temple hall so that Ye Xun could rest.
Ah Qing found some hay and found a slightly clean place in the main hall. He spread the hay in front of it and used it as a resting place at night.
But Ye Xun gave this place to the fainting woman.
Ye Xun looked at her pretty face and was very confused: "Why doesn't she wake up after so long?"
Ah Qing shook his head: "I don't know either."
Ye Xun used his fingers to explore between her nose and found that she was still breathing, and was a little relieved.
Dongfang Zhi and Su Qingchen led the disciples in the escort agency to tidy up the place. Ming Zuer, Chu Zilong, Xia Xueyi and Liu De were guarding the goods. Ye Xun ordered Murong Fu and Yi Jifeng to go out to find some food.
Ah Qing raised a fire in the dilapidated hall, and the flames brought some light to the dark hall.
With nothing to do, Ye Xun sat by the fire and began to practice Daoxuan Zhenqi. Since the double cyclones were condensed on the second level, Ye Xun made a breakthrough in the second level very quickly. It only took two months. Time has reached the second level bottleneck.
Since Ye Xun could not understand the method of breakthrough, he had been stuck in the bottleneck period of this level.
So Ye Xun planned to tell Ye Tianxuan about this when he attended the Six Sects Conference held by the Qiyun Sword Sect and ask him to help him break through to the third level.
However, because Ye Xun ran away from the engagement ceremony before, he knew in his heart that his great-uncle would be furious and would teach him a lesson when he saw him, and he would definitely suffer physical pain.
But Ye Xun has no regrets. Firstly, he really doesn’t want to be engaged to Ye Jingyi, and he also knows that Ye Jingyi doesn’t like him. Secondly, he doesn’t want to let Ye Xiaoxiao down. The three-year agreement will expire soon. .
Maybe Ye Xun will make a private life-long commitment with Ye Xiaoxiao before the expiration of the term.
Returning to reality, Ye Xun looked at the busy people. When he learned last night that the second batch of people who came to rob the darts were the Seven Star Gang, Ye Xun used the two summoning cards rewarded by the system to summon them.
After all, the Seven Star Gang is also one of the thirteen factions, and its strength should not be underestimated. Most of the people in the gang are evil people, and they will do anything they want.
The most important thing is that one of the branches of the Seven Star Gang is in Lin'an City, and the final destination of his escort is Lin'an. Therefore, facing the Seven Star Gang, Ye Xun is always a little wary.
Therefore, strengthening the strength of these people is the most important thing at the moment, but there are too many people in this ruined temple at this time. Once you summon martial arts characters to appear, these people will definitely find out the clues, and then your biggest secret will be revealed. Ye Xun didn't want to see this made public.
Therefore, Ye Xun had to give up the summons and wait for a suitable place to be found before calling in secret.
Not long after Murong Fu and Yi Jifeng appeared, they hurried back. At the same time, they hunted some game in their hands. After cleaning it, they roasted it on the fire.
The bursts of fragrance made Ye Xun move his index finger. At this moment, the sleeping woman beside him slowly opened her eyes and let out a soft hum.
Ye Xun immediately turned around, saw the woman who had woken up, and quickly approached her.
This sudden move startled the woman. Just when Ye Xun was approaching her, she subconsciously slapped Ye Xun with her palm.
If Ah Qing hadn't struck in time, this palm would have hit Ye Xun squarely on the chest.
"Hey, I saved you, you won't repay me like this, right?"
Ye Xun looked at the woman with an unhappy face and said angrily, and it was these words that made the woman see her situation clearly.
"Where is this? I remember clearly..."
"You are obviously dealing with bandits, right?" Ye Xun rolled his eyes at the woman: "If we hadn't saved you, you would have been humiliated by the bandits long ago."
The woman touched her somewhat groggy head and seemed to be trying hard to recall what happened. Ye Xun and Ah Qing did not disturb her and just looked at her quietly.
Not long after, the woman seemed to remember something and suddenly asked: "Have you seen my sword?"
"Is it this one?"
The woman looked in the direction of the voice and saw Dongfang Zhi walking towards him with a smile, holding a rather expensive-looking sword in his hand.
Walking to the woman's side, Dongfang Zhi leaned down and handed the sword in his hand to the woman.
The woman took it and carefully pulled out the sword. She felt relieved when she looked at the green characters on the blade.
Looking at Dongfang Zhi, the woman whispered: "Thank you!"
"How could you, a girl, appear alone in the wilderness, and how could you conflict with those bandits?"
The woman sighed slightly: "Actually, the little woman is a miserable person. Her father passed away a few days ago, and this sword is the only relic left by her father to the little woman. He asked the little woman to take this sword to Lin'an City to seek refuge with her distant relatives. They didn't want to meet bandits in the valley. They asked the little girl for a thousand taels of passing money, but the little girl didn't have so much silver. So the bandits asked the little girl to go up the mountain with him, but the little girl didn't want to , and started fighting with them, but the little girl’s skills were low and she was no match for them. In the end... the little girl didn’t know what happened next.”
Ye Xun said: "Fortunately you met us, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."
The woman smiled faintly and whispered: "Thank you for saving me, I am very grateful."
But just after saying this, a buzzing sound came from the woman's abdomen, and she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Ye Xun quickly ordered Ah Qing to bring some roasted food and handed it to the woman to taste. The woman was not polite, took the food and started eating.
"What's your name?" Dongfang Zhi asked softly.
The woman slowly raised her head, looked at Dongfang Zhi, and smiled shyly: "My name is Xiaoqing."
"Xiao Qing?"
The woman hummed softly and nodded, but then she asked: "You guys saved the little girl from the bandits. The little girl is very grateful. I wonder if they are also going to Lin'an. If so, can you let me?" I will follow you, and when I arrive in Lin'an, I will thank you greatly."
Ye Xun and Su Qingchen looked at each other. Ye Xun originally planned to let the woman leave after she woke up, but he never expected that the woman would turn her back.
For a moment, Ye Xun didn't know whether he should agree or not.
Su Qingchen was also thinking about it. He didn't want to take this woman with him. After all, the woman's origin was unknown. If she was really from the Seven Star Gang, then once the Seven Star Gang came to kidnap the escort, and they cooperated inside and outside, the consequences would be unimaginable. .
"Girl, I'm sorry, our trip is very dangerous, and we can't let you follow us. After dawn tomorrow, you should go on the road alone." Su Qingchen refused.
Seeing Su Qingchen's refusal, the woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears could not help but roll in her eyes. She choked and said: "Xiao Qing used to follow her father, but now the little girl is left alone. She goes to Lin'an alone, afraid of meeting her again. I'm in danger, so I hope all brothers can help Xiaoqing."
After saying that, the woman began to sob softly.
Ye Xun quickly comforted her, but the woman was still crying.
In the end, Ye Xun had no choice but to agree to the woman.
"Thank you so much, brother!"
Su Qingchen quickly pulled Ye Xun aside: "Brother Ye, the identity of this woman is not clear yet, why did you agree to her?"
"We are going to Lin'an anyway, so it doesn't hurt to take her with us on the way."
"Isn't Brother Ye afraid that she is from the Seven Star Gang? If she is, our situation will be very dangerous. If she is not, she will also be in danger if she follows us."
Ye Xun fell into deep thought. What Su Qingchen said was not unreasonable. For the safety of the escort, he could not take this woman with him, but he had already promised, so should he break his promise like this?
"Brother Su, I know your intention, but I have already promised, how can I break my promise? If she is really from the Seven Star Gang, I will not let her go."
Su Qingchen sighed slightly: "Then proceed with caution."
After saying that, Su Qingchen picked up a piece of food and handed it to Ye Xun, asking him to rest quickly after eating so that he could start early tomorrow.
While everyone was eating to fill their stomachs, two people were lying on the roof of the ruined temple, observing everything in the ruined temple through the narrow gap in their foreheads.
In fact, they came here very early and have been waiting for Ye Xun and others to move into this ruined temple. They all saw everything that had just happened. They looked at each other and smiled, with happy expressions on their faces.
"I didn't expect Ye Chanqing to pretend to be so similar. It seems that they agreed to let Ye Chanqing follow them."
One of the men spoke softly. His voice was so low that even the woman who was in close contact with him had to pay close attention to hear it clearly.
Because they know that there are many experts among Ye Xun and others, and as long as they have the slightest trouble, they might be able to alert others.
Once this happens, it may be impossible for them to escape intact.
"Be careful tonight and don't let them discover us. When Ye Chanqing sets off with the people from the Longmen Escort Bureau tomorrow, we will slowly follow them. This time the master asked us to do it secretly and attract more people to intercept them. We must complete the mission." The woman also said in a soft voice.
"Don't worry." The man smiled faintly, a touch of confidence flashing in his eyes.
The two of them each leaned down and tried to keep their bodies in close contact with the tiles to prevent themselves from making the slightest sound.
Ye Chuanqing, who was in the crowd, looked at Ye Xun and others eating food, touched the Chuanqing sword in her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. At the same time, her eyes wandered to the bodyguards and Liu De Si outside the courtyard. A touch of fierceness appeared in her eyes from her brother.
