The team was not huge, and the accompanying soldiers changed into coarse clothes and dressed up like ordinary people.
Rong Di rode in front, and Song Lian's carriage followed.
Gu Qi looked at Yuan Zhe, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating beside him, and dug his toes on the ground in embarrassment.
"Have you been to the county?"
A sudden sentence made Gu Qi jump.
"Go back to Your Highness, this is your first time."
Gu Qi lowered his head and raised his eyes slightly. Yuan Zhe still had his eyes closed and showed no expression.
After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped. Rong Di opened the curtain and said, "This forest is nice. There is a stream in front. Let's rest for a while and adjust before setting off."
"Yes, I understand." Yuan Zhe nodded.
I can finally breathe!
Gu Qi blew on his sore waist and said with a naive smile: "In that case, ordinary people should go down for convenience."
Yuan Zhe glanced at her and said nothing.
Gu Qi pursed her lips and got out of the car.
Looking around, he found that people were running towards the stream. Gu Qi felt happy and ran towards the bushes in the opposite direction...
Just as they were finishing up, they heard someone outside yelling: "There's an assassin!"
assassin? Could it be that group of people again?
Gu Qifang walked lightly and looked in the direction of the carriage through the grass half a man tall.
I saw a group of strong men wearing coarse cloth, surrounding them. The three leaders were riding horses and holding heavy swords in their hands.
"Brother! This group of people is much richer than the bad guys who robbed it two days ago!"
A thin and short man on the left is talking to the fat man with big ears in the middle.
"Yes." The man in the middle nodded, raised his knife and pointed it at Yuan Zhe's carriage and said loudly: "We are just asking for money. Please come to my humble house to have a rest, and wait for your family to send the ransom. Let you go!"
Rong Di, holding a sword, stood on the right and watched coldly, ready to take action at any time. Yuan Zhe's voice came from the carriage: "As long as you promise not to harm the lives of my group, I can give you as much money as you want."
Gu Qi suddenly became confused. Although the gangsters killed many people, these people led by Rong Di were all from the army. They were rough men who actually went to the battlefield to fight! It's more than enough to deal with these little bandits, so why doesn't Yuan Zhe resist?
Could it be that it was difficult to launch a surprise attack because it was surrounded?
Gu Qi looked around and saw that she was the only one outside.
Gu Qi lowered her head and saw a stone the size of a palm two steps behind her. She walked over with gentle steps, took the stone in her hand, returned to her original position, and waited for the opportunity.
At this moment, Yuan Zhe opened the curtain, got off the carriage, raised his hand and pointed directly at Gu Qi: "You seem to have missed someone."
A thin bandit next to him turned his head and looked in Gu Qi's direction.
Right now! Gu Qi raised the stone and threw it hard, hitting him on the arm.
"Ouch! Brother!" The bandit was in pain and cried out in grievance.
After Gu Qizhong hit the target, he picked up a big stone and rushed out of the grass, shouting: "Rush! Protect..."
"Protect... protect... protect... protect..." Gu Qi's voice became softer and softer.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but he ran forward two steps and found that Rong Di didn't make any move.
Time seems to have stopped.
Everyone stayed where they were, looking straight at Gu Qi.
Gu Qi was dumbfounded, what is going on?
Why didn't they start a fight?
The bandit leader looked Gu Qi up and down, he was just a weak scholar! He said to the two younger brothers beside him: "You two, go catch him back."
Then two strong men came over menacingly with knives in their hands...
"Smile, smile, I don't know what you are laughing at." The group of people were escorted forward by bandits. Yuan Zhe was laughing all the way. The more he laughed, the angrier Gu Qi became.
"I guess you must have wanted to get along with Rong Di, but I disrupted your plan." Yuan Zhe came over, his voice was low, but he couldn't hide his smile.
Gu Qi glared at him, looked at his team, and found that there were a few missing. He lowered his head and smiled: "Your Highness seems to have done this on purpose."
"Huh?" Yuan Zhe turned to look at Gu Qi, with a rare hint of appreciation in his eyes. "It's pretty bright."
Gu Qi stopped talking.
Yuan Zhe was a little surprised: "Aren't you curious?"
Gu Qi pursed her lips and said softly: "What's there to be curious about? I just hope to be able to go to the capital. If His Highness's plan has nothing to do with me, why bother asking."
Yuan Zhe chuckled lightly, raised his arm and put it casually on Gu Qi's shoulders: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
"Go in!" Gu Qi, Yuan Zhe, Rong Di, Song Lian, and Yingge were pushed by bandits from behind and entered the front room of Yangzi's house. The boys tied their hands and feet and carried them into another room. in a house.
The thin man who was hit by the stone pushed Gu Qiyi hard!
Gu Qi threw herself forward involuntarily, bumping into the man sitting in the corner.
"Is the master okay?"
There was a dull pain in his arm, and the flying dust made Gu Qi cough uncontrollably and bring tears to his eyes. A greeting came from above my head. Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Looking up, Gu Qi was surprised: "Chu..."
Yan Churong narrowed his eyes slightly and signaled Gu Qi not to speak. Seeing that her collar was a little open, he hurriedly reached out and pulled it up: "My little brother has a cold, so he should wear tighter clothes to avoid being damaged by the wind."
Rong Di stepped forward and pulled Gu Qi up, looking at Yan Churong suspiciously: "Are you a doctor?"
Yuan Zhe looked around, his eyes finally fell on Yan Churong, and he couldn't help but look up and down.
Yan Churong stood up generously: "I am Yan Churong, just an unknown traveling doctor."
Yuan Zhe was half-leaning on the pile of firewood in the corner, always staring at Yan Churong and asking: "Why did Dr. Yan come to this wilderness?"
Yan Churong turned around slightly, faced Yuan Zhe, clasped his fists and said, "I am not talented, but I still want to do my best for the people of Lan Country. Nowadays, people cannot afford medicine, so they can only try their luck in this wilderness. I hope I can pick some rare medicinal herbs.”
Rong Di let go of his vigilance and helped Gu Qi sit down next to the pillar.
Yuan Zhe looked at Gu Qi and saw that her face was pale. He pointed at her and looked at Yan Churong: "As soon as we came in, did you say that this young master has a cold?"
"This little brother's cheeks are white and rarely rosy. When he just fell down, his hands were a little cooler than ordinary people. This cold body syndrome is different from other diseases. It is necessary to take nourishing medicine from time to time to warm and nourish the body."
After Yan Churong finished speaking, he reached out his hand and put it on Gu Qi's wrist, feeling for his pulse. Suddenly his eyes tightened and he looked at Gu Qi and said, "Are you injured?"
Gu Qi frowned and pulled his hand back: "It's okay, it's just a small arrow wound."
Yan Churong's face sank, thoughtful. Then he whispered: "You should also pay attention to small injuries. If they cause infection and pus, it will be troublesome."
Rong Di took out some dry food from his arms and distributed it to everyone.
Gu Qi looked up at Yuan Zhe and saw him holding the dry food in his hand, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly he raised his head and the two looked at each other.
Yuan Zhe smiled and Gu Qi lowered his head in fear.
Seemingly feeling the concerned gaze, Gu Qi raised his head and saw Yan Churong looking at him with a complicated expression.
"You guys!" The thin man opened the door and shouted with full force. Then he stood at the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Brother."
It wasn't until the strong man at the head stepped in that the thin man followed. A gentle man next to him put the pen and paper he brought in front of Yuan Zhe.
The leading strong man stared at Yuan Zhe and said: "I think you are the leader among these people. Your relatives at home must be very anxious. Why not write a letter early and send someone to pay the ransom."
Yuan Zhe took the pen and paper, pretended to think for a while, and then started writing eloquently.
The man glanced at Yan Churong in the corner, pointed at him and asked the thin man, "He still refuses to write?"
The thin man grabbed a handful of stubble on his chin, walked straight to Yan Churong, and pulled him up.
"Brother, this posture doesn't look like a rich man, so why not tear it up!"
"What are you doing!" Gu Qi rushed forward and stood in front of Yan Churong.
This move not only shocked the bandit, but also Yuan Zhe, who was sitting next to him and wrote a letter, also looked surprised.
The two got to know each other too quickly.
Yuan Zhe stopped writing and stared at Gu Qi and Yan Churong in front of him.
The thin man was already dissatisfied with Gu Qi. When he saw her rushing out, he took out a knife and waved it in front of Gu Qi's eyes: "Hey, after all this time, you two are inseparable?"
"What the hell are you talking about!" Gu Qi's blood surged, his chest felt like needles pricking his chest, and he couldn't help but cough violently.
Yan Churong raised his hand and held Gu Qi in his arms, patting his back constantly.
When Rong Di, a martial artist, saw Gu Qi being humiliated, he was so angry that he came over and pulled the two of them back, puffing out his chest and blocking them in front of him.
Seeing that Rong Di was also so impulsive, Yuan Zhe said that he was as strong-blooded as Gu Qi, so he smiled and shook his head. It seemed that I was overthinking it.
After a moment of stalemate, the gentle young man next to the "eldest brother" slowly spoke: "Third brother, that's not how 'glue is like paint' is used."
"It's just a ransom. What's the difference between one more person and one less person." Yuan Zhe took the written letter and patted it on the thin man's chest. He pointed at Yan Churong and said, "This person, I Redeemed.”
The thin man put away the knife and handed the letter to "big brother" with a bang.
"Yes, we can send someone to deliver the letter tomorrow." The man folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, and then the group left.
Silence returned to the surroundings.
"Take a rest, I can have a good sleep tonight." Yuanzhe yawned, closed his eyes and lay on Rong Di's lap.
Maybe yawning is contagious, so Rong Di couldn't help but yawn and took a nap against the pile of dry wood.
Late at night, snoring could be heard not far away. Gu Qi felt relieved and fell asleep leaning against the pillar.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt someone put his clothes on his body. Although the movement was slight, it startled Gu Qi, and he subconsciously grabbed the person in front of him!
Through the moonlight, I slowly saw the face in front of me clearly.
"It's you." Gu Qi took a long breath and let go of his hand.
"It's very cold at night." Yan Churong looked worried. He surrounded Gu Qi with his coat, and said close to his ears: "Your arrow wound was mostly healed when we set off. Why is it that after half a month, the injury is still so bad?" Are there any signs of repeated aggravation?”
Gu Qi looked around and saw several people sleeping soundly.
"No," Gu Qi raised his right arm and pushed up his sleeve, revealing a piece of white gauze: "I was shot once when I arrived at the Qingzhou Pass."
"What!" Yan Churong got excited and raised his voice several times, and Gu Qi hurriedly covered his mouth.
"It's nothing serious, just a little injury to my arm."
Yan Churong frowned and looked at the gauze on Gu Qi's arm: "How about you go back and I'll take care of Han Zizheng's side."
Gu Qi moved his chin in the direction of Yuan Zhe and said seriously: "I don't want to say whether I want to go back or not. That person is the prince of the Lan Kingdom, Yuan Zhe. Now, my identity, Pei Qihuan, has passed the Ming Dynasty. Road. Who else can we send?"
Yan Churong looked worried: "They say Yuan Zhe is suspicious, but it's not so easy to gain his trust. I'm worried about you..."
The moonlight shines through the mountain window and shines on Gu Qi's profile. She stared at Yuan Zhe with a sly look in her eyes: "It's too easy, wouldn't it be boring?"
Yan Churong felt a chill running down his spine, feeling that her expression was getting more frightening.
Suddenly Gu Qi's face turned around, and Yan Churong burped in fright.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"No, it's okay." Yan Churong calmed down and looked at Gu Qi again. She looked innocent again.
Gu Qi looked at Yan Churong. The moonlight outlined his mandible in a beautiful arc, and his tongue moisturized his dry, soft lips, which looked pretty good.
Yan Churong felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and retreated with a dry cough.
Gu Qi looked at Yan Churong's back, suddenly feeling bored and sleepy.
Have a good night's sleep.
The sun shone in through the small window on the earthen wall and shone directly on Gu Qi's face. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, stood up, stretched her waist, and handed the coat back to Yan Churong.
