After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Li Er win in one go.

Fortunately, she knew some roundabout ways of speaking that could help her achieve her desired goals.

But now that Li Er has agreed, she can no longer say what comes next.

She must guide Li Er indirectly and let him make his own decision.

This way, what she said before wouldn't make him realize that it was so deliberate.

Wen Baizhi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But the governor is unconscious now, and your majesty's carriage is so far away from us, how can we take the governor there?"

Now she just needs to throw the problem out, and then Li Er will have to find a solution himself.

Anyway, there are only a few methods. No matter what method Li Er comes up with, Wen Baizhi has a way to make his final method consistent with her ideas.

Li Er was also struggling with this issue.

"If the Governor was still awake, it would be easy to arrange, but he is unconscious now, why don't you let me carry him? I am strong and I can definitely carry the Governor safely to His Majesty so that he can find a doctor to treat him."

Wen Baizhi shook her head slightly: "I don't think it's right. Look, the ground is all muddy. Although you are strong, the governor is not light either. No matter how strong you are, the road is not easy to walk on. You are not light either, and the road is not close. If you fall down again and are seen by the people around, isn't this a clear handle for others to use against you? And let the governor add to your crime. Is this what you want to see?"

Li Er pursed his lips and shook his head: "Then this method won't work." He raised his hand and patted the back of his head, as if he was thinking of a solution.

Wen Baizhi interjected at the right time: "It would be great if there was a carriage like the one your majesty has here, so that the inspector can be safely placed in it, and then you can send him off in person. Then everyone will say that you are careful and smart, and you will definitely be promoted to a higher position."

This woke Li Er up again.

He saw the cart under Si Jiu lying.

"Miss, this cart under you can accommodate Dugong, and I will personally drive the horse to take Dugong to see a doctor."

It’s almost there, the goal is almost achieved.

Wen Baizhi knew that she couldn't be careless at this final moment.

She looked embarrassed again.

Li Er asked quickly: "What's wrong, Miss? Isn't this method a good idea?"

Wen Baizhi said, "No, I think your idea is very good. It makes the governor feel comfortable and shows your intelligence. But have you ever thought that you just tied the governor's hands under this cart and dragged him forward. You then used this cart to send him to His Majesty. Aren't you clearly reminding the governor of the unbearable things you did to him? When he wakes up and sees this cart, the first thing he will do is find someone to kill you. By then, let alone getting promoted, it will be difficult for you to survive."

Li Er cried out in regret: "Why didn't I think of this? Oh! Thank you so much for reminding me, Miss! Otherwise, I would have really done this stupid thing."

Wen Baizhi: "You don't need to thank me, but I don't want to see someone as talented as you buried at the end of the team, so I said a few more words. I hope you don't think I'm being long-winded, and don't blame me for meddling in other people's business."

Li Er waved his hands and said, "Miss, what are you talking about? How could I blame you? I can't thank you enough. If you hadn't reminded me several times, I might not be here now."

Wen Baizhi thought to herself, just because she wasn’t here now, didn’t mean she wouldn’t be here in the future.

She must take revenge for what he did to Si Jiu.

Just not now.

Now we only have one last step left.

Wen Baizhi continued to show her acting skills.

"But if these methods don't work, I really can't think of any other way. I think the governor seems to be barely breathing right now. Don't let him die here, or we will all be in trouble."

Wen Baizhi deliberately spoke in a serious manner, and Li Er was also very scared.

He looked at everything around him anxiously, trying to find a way to solve the problem.

After all, Li Er was at the end of the team, and he couldn't have a fast horse like the other cavalrymen.

The only horse available to him was the one pulling the cart.

If all the previous methods are not feasible, this is the only method left.

That is to let the horse carry Si Jiu away.

He immediately told Wen Baizhi about this idea.

"Miss, if I use this cart horse to carry the governor, wouldn't it be a little better?"

Wen Baizhi felt joyful.

The purpose was achieved.

But she still needed to guide him: "You mean to let Du Gong ride a horse to the front to find a doctor?" She pointed at Si Jiu's sleeping face, "But he is not awake yet, how can he ride a horse?"

Li Er said hurriedly: "Of course not, I will let Dugong ride the horse. I will put Dugong in front of me and let him lean on me. I will drive the horse behind him. This way, there will be no risk."

Wen Baizhi showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "So this is the solution you are thinking of, but how can I go back? Although I was sent by His Majesty to check on the Dugong's condition, I also have to go back to His Majesty. I almost fell several times when I came here just now. If I fall a few more times when I go back, what will I do if His Majesty's jade pendant is lost?"

Her eyes were troubled and her tone was weak, but she really seemed to be trying to find a solution for herself.

Li Er knew that Wen Baizhi was probably from an important background, and at this moment he was rarely thinking about her.

"This... Miss has been trying her best to find a solution for me. Now that Miss is in trouble, I must try my best to help Miss solve the problem. Miss is light, so she can sit on this horse with the governor. If Miss can't ride a horse, it doesn't matter. I can help you lead the horse from below, so that Miss and the governor can be safe."

After hearing what he said, Wen Baizhi wanted to jump up and cheer.

This was the best solution she could think of under such circumstances.

This is the very end of the team, and the soldiers basically have no horses.

Even if she took Si Jiu on horseback, they would not be able to catch up in a short time.

But she still needed to cover up: "Can I? I don't know how to ride a horse. Will I fall down?"

Among the women in Kyoto, there are indeed few who can ride horses.

Her words actually made Li Er less wary of her.

"It's okay, young lady. Don't be afraid. You just need to support the governor from behind and hold him. I will lead the horse and make sure you don't fall."

Wen Baizhi then pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you very much in this case. I am really afraid of riding a horse."

Li Er did not dare to delay any longer: "It is settled then, let's help the governor to get on the horse first."

Si Jiu had been leaning quietly in Wen Baizhi's arms, and the breath he exhaled was extremely hot.

He was also very familiar with Wen Baizhi's aura, and even when he was in extreme discomfort and pain, he could be comforted well by Wen Baizhi.

So when Li Er reached out to push him away from Wen Baizhi, Si Jiu instinctively protested physically.

It was as if he was about to be taken to a very dangerous place and he couldn't move away even an inch.

Wen Baizhi really couldn't bear to see Si Jiu in so much pain while he was unconscious. When Li Er turned his head away and couldn't see her movements, she silently touched Si Jiu's back soothingly.

Soon Si Jiu was helped onto the carriage by Li Er, followed by Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi sat behind Si Jiu and let his back lean against her.

She kept saying to herself, Zijin, you will be well soon, and we will be free soon.

Seeing that the two were seated securely, Li Er said, "Young lady, please sit tight. We are leaving now."

Wen Baizhi held Si Jiu's skinny waist tightly with one hand and held the reins with the other hand: "I'm sitting well, thank you for your help."

Li Er untied the rope.

But the luck that Wen Baizhi thought she had didn't favor her for long.

Just when she was ready and able to escape at any time, Qi Yan'an, who was at the front of the team, successfully woke up after being treated by several different doctors.

After waking up, he hadn't recovered his strength yet, so he asked Li Qingwen about Baizhi's whereabouts.

Li Qing trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Wen asked me to tell you about your unconsciousness. When I came in, I saw you really were unconscious on the bed. I was so distracted that I only cared about finding a doctor for you. I didn't notice Madam Wen's movements afterwards. By the time I realized what was happening, Madam Wen had already gone somewhere."

Qi Yan'an was still lying in bed, too weak to get up.

He didn't even have the chance to kick Li Qing at this moment.

"Go, go find it for me! Bring some people and go find it for me!"

Judging from Qi Yan'an's attitude, he will not give up until he finds Wen Baizhi.

But how could he know that Wen Baizhi had the most determined blood in her bones.

No matter what dangerous situation you are in, you will try your best to find an opportunity to save yourself and get yourself out of trouble.

After Li Er led their horse for a few steps, she suddenly clamped her legs around the horse's belly and rode away from the reins in Li Er's hand.

Li Er was frightened by this accident: "Miss! Miss, you don't know how to ride a horse, don't mess around! This is very dangerous!"

Poor him, he still thought that Wen Baizhi was that delicate little girl, and thought that she would not take the opportunity to escape.

Wen Baizhi no longer needed to act in front of him, and didn't want to waste any more time.

She turned around and headed towards the woods she had her eyes on earlier.

Even if Li Er was stupid, he could understand it at this moment.

Wen Baizhi had fooled him.

He was furious, but there was no point in doing anything. He could only stand there with his hands on his hips, cursing helplessly to vent his anger.

"You actually lied to me! You little bastard! How dare you lie to me! I trusted you so much!"

But there's no point in scolding now.

Just as Wen Baizhi thought, there were no extra horses for him to ride and chase them.

The only solution is to report this matter to the higher-ups as soon as possible.

I just don't know if the higher-ups will punish him for his sins as well.

But before he could go find someone, someone came to find him.

It wasn't just one person who came, but a group of people.

A group of people came on horseback.

The leader was Li Qing.

He lied to Qi Yan'an.

In fact, he had already seen that Wen Baizhi was planning to escape at that time.

He could have stopped her.

But he didn't do that.

Afterwards he himself had no idea why.

But now he had to pretend to atone for his sins in front of Qi Yan'an.

Otherwise, with Qi Yan'an's character, he would definitely end up in trouble.

So he brought a team of people and went to the end of the team as Qi Yan'an said.

Just because Si Jiu is trapped here.

If Wen Baizhi wanted to escape, she would definitely find Si Jiu first and then escape.

Perhaps the touching love between them was one of the reasons why Li Qing let him go.

Li Er knew Li Qing.

Although not many people saw him, Li Qing was Qi Yan'an's servant after all, so he became a familiar face in front of everyone.

Li Qing sat on the horse and did not get off. He knew that Si Jiu was detained here, but he did not see Si Jiu at this moment.

Wen Baizhi didn't see it either.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, when Li Er saw Li Qing coming, he knelt down immediately and said, "Please forgive me, sir. A woman came with your majesty's jade pendant and claimed that your majesty asked her to find Si Dugong. I... I asked her to take Dugong away... By the time I realized what was happening and wanted to catch them back, they had already ridden away."

He didn't dare to reveal the details. After all, he was the one who let the person go. He was afraid that Li Qing would be unhappy if he revealed too many details.

"On horseback?" Li Qing grasped the key words.

Li Er's eyes flickered. "It's the only horse I have. I gave it to that woman and let her ride away, taking Dugong with her..."

Li Qing was riding on his horse. Upon hearing this, he kicked Li Er, who was kneeling on the ground.

"You are so stupid. Do you know who you let go? When His Majesty first woke up, he asked me to come and check on their whereabouts. Now, you've let them all go!"

Li Qing's eyes showed ferocity.

This person cannot be kept, as he will become a scapegoat and a vent for his anger in front of Qi Yan'an.

Li Er was kicked to the ground. The ground was muddy and his face was covered with mud.

"My Lord, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. They went deep into the forest. There was only one horse and a woman with an unconscious person. They couldn't go far. I know I was wrong."

Without him saying anything, Li Qing knew which direction Wen Baizhi and the others fled.

He raised his right hand, and a man rode up to him and said, "You, go back and report to His Majesty immediately, saying that Si Jiu and the others have escaped deep into the forest, and ask His Majesty to send more people to chase them back."

The man took the order and left.

So this is the only scapegoat left.

Li Er looked at Li Qing's horse that was getting closer and closer, and he let out a few sounds before dying.

"This man neglected his duty and carelessly let someone go. I have executed him on the spot. You are all witnesses."

When it comes to playing tough, Li Qing is the best.

Wen Baizhi could actually predict Li Er's fate.

She didn't need to do it herself to avenge Si Jiu.

When he got on the horse just now, Si Jiu was sitting in the wrong direction and position.

Plus, she didn't tie them up with any ropes.

Wen Baizhi was obviously getting tired of riding a horse and supporting Si Jiu at the same time.

Before she could slow down, she saw Si Jiu's body sitting on the horse, no longer supported, and fell off the galloping horse.

"Zijin!"
