Near noon, the group of people happened to reach the wilderness with no village in front and no store in the back. They could only temporarily find a ruined temple to stay.
The people brought out by Chencha are already used to this. They have been fighting all year round and have become accustomed to living in harsh environments. They are already fine with things like this. Once they fought against the Liao people and strayed into the vast desert. After staying there for more than thirty days, after that experience, no matter how difficult the environment was, they would not be surprised or confused.
On the other hand, the people from the Forbidden Army and the patrol camp who came from Xijing City were particularly uncomfortable at the beginning. They had no idea that there would be such a difficult environment when traveling. They knew they would endure hardship, but they did not expect it to be so difficult. . After being in a hurry a few times and making His Highness Prince Ning hungry a few times, they slowly got used to it.
So, this time they quickly packed up and divided up the work. There were those who chopped firewood, those who made fires, and those who buried pots to make rice. It was very orderly and it was quite a lively scene.
Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu inspected the camp and confirmed that there were no problems. They came over personally to ask Prince Ning to get out of the car and rest.
Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao followed His Highness Prince Ning and flew out of the carriage. They nodded towards Song Qiyun. The two of them dragged Shen Jiu into the carriage and disappeared into the dense forest in a few leaps.
"Uncle Wang, let's go this way. If you bear a little patience, we can have a good rest at the Duke's Mansion tonight." Song Qiyun accompanied His Highness Prince Ning to slowly walk to the arranged leeward place and made a small log. He asked His Highness Prince Ning to sit down on the bench and watched a few shadows fetching water from the river not far away. "Uncle Wang, wipe your face and have a rest first."
"What about you? You should also have a good rest!" His Highness Prince Ning looked around, "Now the carriage can no longer find Xiaocha, Xiaojiu, and Miaomiao. Where did they go?"
"Go and see what game there is in the woods."
"Looking for game? Didn't we bring food ourselves?"
"Yes, we brought our own dried meat and dry food, but we still have to travel after lunch, which should consume a lot of energy. So, Sister Xiaocha said, we still have to eat a little full."
Song Qiyun watched the shadows heating up the water by the river and squatted beside His Highness Prince Ning. He thought for a long time but didn't know how to speak.
"What's wrong?" His Highness Prince Ning tugged on Song Qiyun's earlobe, "Why do you look so embarrassed? Just say what you want to say. You don't have to be so cautious in front of me."
"Then I'll tell you!" Song Qiyun looked around, then nuzzled towards His Highness Prince Ning, and lowered his voice and said, "I heard you talking outside, not only I heard it, but Xiaojiu also heard it. "
"Did you hear us talking? Oh!" His Highness Prince Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a bad smile, "How much did you hear? You heard too many secrets, but your uncle and I will silence you! This is no joke. "
"I heard everything that should be heard and what shouldn't be heard." Song Qiyun snorted, "I probably understand the cause and effect."
"Oh, that's really the extent of silence."
"Uncle Wang, my nephew feels very uncomfortable. Please stop joking."
"Why do you feel uncomfortable? How do you feel uncomfortable?" His Highness Prince Ning stretched out his hand to rub Song Qiyun's face, "Hey, just smile, don't keep a straight face, just like a little old man."
"I'm not a little old man." Song Qiyun sighed softly and looked at His Highness Prince Ning seriously, "What would happen if Brother Xiaotian knew about it? He..." He took a deep breath, "Would he Will you hate us?"
"Then I have to ask you, why do you hate us? In the final analysis, it is the Xue family's own choice that has evolved into this situation. What does it have to do with us? What we are doing now is to prevent Daxia from falling into The situation of internal and external troubles, on the other hand, can also pull the Xue family out of the abyss, why does he hate us? "
"Just...I don't know why, but I just have this feeling." Song Qiyun sighed softly, "I always feel that our feelings will change because of this fact, and there will be a gap. Uncle Wang, if your brother , If a friend encounters something like this, will you hide it or tell him the truth?"
"Of course I have to tell him the truth, but after he knows the truth, it is his choice how he should go next. However, as long as he chooses, no matter which one it is, I will respect it." His Highness Prince Ning He looked at Song Qiyun, reached out and pinched his chin, "Okay, kid, don't think about this."
"How am I still a child?" Song Qiyun looked down at his hands and raised his eyebrows slightly at His Highness Prince Ning, "I just don't want to be an enemy of Brother Xiaotian. Apart from the friendship between brothers, we are the closest people in the world. people."
"Don't worry, he won't be an enemy of you or us." His Highness Prince Ning patted Song Qiyun, "Although I only met him once when he was young, maybe he doesn't remember that I met him, but that time After meeting, I told Lao Xue that it was up to him to change the Xue family and completely wash away the stains of the past. This child is naturally smart. The most important thing is that his sense of danger is very obvious. We have seen this before. He has passed the assessment and he passed all my tests perfectly, so I have great confidence in him."
"Is this really the case?" Song Qiyun looked at His Highness Prince Ning pitifully like a puppy, "Uncle Wang, please don't lie to me."
"How could it be? This is a big deal!" His Highness Prince Ning pinched Song Qiyun's face, "Those things I lied to you about when you were young were just random jokes, and they also had the intention of the emperor brother. He wanted to temper your brother's temper. We can't let you be too much. If you are arrogant, I will let you suffer a little more torture. If you know more about the sinister nature of people's hearts, you will suffer less harm in the future."
"So it was your father's intention?" Seeing His Highness Prince Ning nodding, Song Qiyun curled his lips, "Okay, let me just say that every time I file a complaint, there is no news!"
"You!" His Highness Prince Ning sighed, "We are old, and we will leave you sooner or later. We cannot protect you little bastards for a long time, so what is best for you is not I dote on you, but teach you how to protect your life and survive."
"Uncle Wang, you will live a long life." Song Qiyun took His Highness Prince Ning's hand and said, "Sister Miao Miao studied under Master Huilan. She is very capable and she will definitely take good care of you. Look at Sister Xiaocha. Your health was so bad, isn’t it pretty good now, right?”
"Yes, you are right." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "The ones who can be your parents now are us old guys. None of you have married yet, and I still have to live well. , watching you find the one you love!"
