Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

"Sir, where should we hide?" Yunling stood up and looked around and asked.

"Go over there." Cui Qiyan pointed to the depths of the jungle on the left front and took the lead.

Yunling limped to follow.

Sensing something strange about her, Cui Qiyan stopped, turned around and said, "Injured?"

"I broke my leg, but I can still walk." Yunling gritted her teeth and insisted.

Cui Qiyan stretched out an arm and said, "Grab me."

"Thank you, Master." The other party has a large number of people, and both of them are injured. If they really fight, they will obviously be easy to capture. Yunling didn't hesitate and immediately grasped it with both hands.

Cui Qiyan's shoulders sank, his lips curled up, and he led her towards the dense forest.

The two of them walked and stopped, keeping in circles with the people sent by Yan Chao.

After Ji Bai came down from the mountain last night, he escorted Qu Wei into the inn. With the gold medal given by the emperor, Yi Cheng did not dare to neglect and acted according to his words.

Ji Bai stayed up all night and thought of many ways. He wanted to find the person in person, but he was worried that if something happened to Qu Wei after he left, he would not be able to explain it to his master. Seeing that Yan Chao insisted on taking the person away last night, and his master's special instructions, he felt that Qu Wei must be of great use.

He also thought about tying up Qu Wei and going together, but looking at Qu Wei's appearance, he would definitely not cooperate on the road, and would actually hold him back.

The distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and it is too late to ask for help from the capital now. What's more, the fact that the master came to check the tax bank in secret was a secret order given to the master by the Holy Father. The master didn't even tell the Duke and the eldest lady, so he couldn't make a big deal out of it.

After much deliberation, Ji Bai came to Yi Cheng at dawn and asked Yi Cheng to respectfully find a few reliable people to search for the person at the bottom of the cliff.

Cui Qiyan

After taking Yunling to deal with those people for a whole day, when the sky darkened, those people were tired and found an open space to light a bonfire and eat dry food to rest.

Yunling lay on the high slope and asked softly: "Master, why don't they leave yet?"

"It should be Yan Chao who killed them. If they can't find us, they can't do business." Cui Qiyan turned around and lifted her up from the ground. "Let's go, find a place to rest for a while."

Yunling hugged his arm easily.

Cui Qiyan felt the weight on her body became heavier again. He looked down and saw that her right leg barely dared to touch the ground. The injury must have worsened. He couldn't help but slow down his pace so that she could relax a little.

On the way, Cui Qiyan picked some edible fruits, and the two found a big stone and sat down against it.

"Here," Cui Qiyan handed her some green fruits, "If you can't make a fire, eat some of this cushion."

Yunling went over to take it with both hands. She was indeed thirsty and hungry since the water and rice hadn't been eaten all day, so she picked a big one and started to bite it.

"what--"

Cui Qiyan turned his head and saw her face wrinkled into a ball, and smiled knowingly.

"It's so sour..." Yunling almost swallowed the pulp whole.

Cui Qiyan ate it as if nothing had happened, "Don't waste it. There is nothing to eat here except these unripe fruits. Eating it can at least quench your thirst."

"It really quenches your thirst," Yun Ling swallowed and saw that his expression remained unchanged, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Master, are you not afraid of acid?"

Cui Qiyan said nothing. If it weren't for the darkness, Yunling would have seen the twitching of the corners of his eyes.

After finishing the fruit, Cui Qiyan asked casually: "How is the injury on your leg? Can you still hold on?"

Yunling nodded: "Slave, you can

of. ”

Cui Qiyan glanced at her legs. He couldn't go around in circles with those people anymore. He had to find a way to get out of here tomorrow.

The nearly full moon hung up, and there were sounds of various insects and beasts all around the forest. Yunling thought of the snake she saw during the day and couldn't help but move closer to Cui Qiyan.

"Afraid?" Cui Qiyan saw her little movement.

"Yes, but with the young master here, I won't be so afraid." Yunling said matter-of-factly. In the wilderness, with someone as a companion, psychological fear will be alleviated.

Cui Qiyan was very helpful after hearing this. He moved his hand and touched something. He took it out, pressed the jade stone, and the blade popped out.

"The dagger is good, where did you get it?"

Obviously this was not something that a maid should have. Yunling couldn't think of a good explanation, so she had to tell the truth: "Master Lu gave it to me."

"Lu Siheng? When did your relationship become so good?" Cui Qiyan recalled seeing her getting off Lu Siheng's carriage on the morning of the first day of the new year.

"We are not what the young master thinks..." Yunling waved her hands.

"What's that like?"

"It's just..." Yunling didn't know what to say. She had promised Lu Siheng not to tell others about his coming to Yuzhou. He said they were friends. He could say this, but she, a maid, could not. No matter how ridiculous he was in the eyes of others, he was still the third son of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, so how could he become friends with her.

Seeing that she was hesitating and unable to explain, Cui Qiyan suddenly didn't want to listen anymore, took the blade back, and threw the dagger at her.

"Since it's for you, you should keep it well."

This dagger did come in handy last night. Yunling thought about meeting Lu Siheng again when she went back.

He wanted to return the thing to him, so he put it around his waist.

Cui Qiyan caught a glimpse of her movements and leaned hard against the stone behind him, forgetting that he was still injured.

"Hiss—" He frowned and straightened up again.

"Master, are you okay?" Yunling was startled.

"What can happen to me?" Cui Qiyan glared at her.

She didn't know what provoked this man, so she quickly shut up and said nothing.

After a period of silence, Cui Qiyan cleared his throat and spoke first: "I have nothing to do. Why don't you sing and listen?"

"Now?" Yunling was worried, "What should I do if the people below hear me?"

"You're far away. Besides, you've only eaten two or three fruits. Do you still have the strength to sing for them to hear?"

Yunling thought about it, "I don't know how to sing much. What do you want to hear, Master?"

"Just sing the words of the song you sang on the Mid-Autumn Festival night that year."

Yunling leaned back and sang a cappella, "When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine..."

Cui Qiyan listened quietly, his beautiful words became even more beautiful, making people feel relaxed and peaceful after listening.

After finishing the song, he still had more to say, "Keep singing."

Does he like listening to this poem so much? Yunling thought to herself and continued singing.

Cui Qiyan also leaned gently on the stone, closed his eyes and listened silently.

After repeating it several times, Yunling's voice became weaker and weaker, sleepiness came over her, and her eyelids trembled.

Suddenly his shoulders sank, and Cui Qiyan opened his eyes, only to see her head tilted on his shoulder, asleep.

The outstretched hand just touched a few strands of her hair, paused, then took it back, and he closed his eyes again.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the dense forest. Cui Qiyan woke up but did not move because the man on his shoulder was still asleep.

Yunling was woken up by the chirping of birds. When she raised her head, her neck felt a little sore.

When he saw that he was leaning against Cui Qiyan, he quickly moved away in panic.

"I'm sorry, sir..."

Cui Qiyan moved his compressed shoulders, stood up and said, "Let's go, find a way to get out of here."
