"Ah--"

Xing Qiu looked haggard and couldn't believe his ears.

He stared at Xiao Linglang with a look of doubt on his face.

She must have heard it right! No one is chasing her!

Who is it! Who! Who gave Miss Xiao this illusion?

Xing Qiu knelt down and cried out in his heart.

She was being chased like a stray dog, constantly changing routes, horses, and equipment. From her husband to her sister-in-law and then to her sister-in-law, she, Miss Xiao, had multiple identities.

No one is chasing——

"...!!!"

Xing Qiu looked at Miss Xiao with eyes full of anger, her eyes were clear and innocent. His hands holding the reins creaked, and he squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

"No."

Xiao Linglang and Xiao Man both lowered their jaws, looking puzzled, and asked softly, "Why? This road makes me uncomfortable. I vomited and it was very uncomfortable."

"That's because of you—" Xing Qiu pursed his lips and touched his face, almost hurting himself. He looked at Xiao Linglang, who was eager to learn, and said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, don't blame Lu."

Xiao Linglang must not be let to know that she is pregnant. It would be terrible if she misses her child and doesn't want to go back to Nanliang. Prince Chang must not be let to know either, at least not before her brothers are rescued.

Xing Qiu exhaled heavily and turned away.

"If you can't, then you can't. Why are you angry?"

Xiao Linglang held Xiaoman in her arms and her cheeks puffed up.

Just as he was about to turn his face away and fight with Xing Qiu, the sour feeling in his stomach rushed up his throat again. His snow-white cheeks suddenly became pale, his spirit weakened, and he began to dry heave while holding the spittoon with tears in his eyes.

While vomiting, he looked at Xing Qiu with a condemning look.

Xing Qiu was both amused and angry. She stood up and put the little wolf cub in her arms, rubbing her aching brows. The old saying goes, "Pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years," which is absolutely true.

She hummed and smiled, then nodded at Xiao Xiaoman who opened his mouth to bite her.

"The concubine left when he went to war. How could Tuoba Jin let you go? But if he issued a wanted order for you, how could he save face? So I, who was chasing you, spread the wanted order throughout the streets and alleys. The closer to the border, the more wanted orders there are. Every dog ​​will have one in his mouth."

Xing Qiu tilted his mouth and slapped himself. What was he showing off at the beginning! Wouldn't it be enough to let him investigate Ya Qiyi himself? It can also delay some time.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Linglang again, muttering in his heart, isn't it said that emperors are ruthless? Did Tuoba Jin take the wrong medicine? Or is he incompetent? He put aside the war with Jiehu and led troops to capture the escaped concubine.

Xiao Linglang was unaware of the turmoil in Xing Qiu's heart. She took a handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth, wiping away the tears that welled up at the corners of her eyes.

She couldn't vomit, and her stomach was cramping again and again. She felt so uncomfortable that she just wanted to curl up and hug herself.

Hearing Xing Qiu's words, Xiao Linglang's eyes widened. Is that so?

His eyelashes fluttered.

She thought Tuoba Jin was broad-minded and would let her go. If she left, she would leave. There was no need to catch her back to vent her anger.

Looking up, her eyes were full of guilt as she looked at Xing Qiu. Xiao Linglang raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her nose, apologizing a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't notice this."

Due to the constraints, she apologized briefly.

Xing Qiu was not polite either. He raised his eyebrows, smiled, clapped his hand on Xiao Linglang's, and loudly assigned her.

"Come and massage my shoulders, and I'll forgive you. My arms are going numb from driving all day."

Xing Qiu deliberately raised his arm in front of Xiao Linglang, pretending to be struggling.

Xiao Linglang felt that she had been a little unreasonable just now, so she nodded in agreement, half-knelt over, and pointed her fingertips at Xing Qiu's shoulder.

When she poked it with her finger, it was hard. She raised her eyes and glanced at Xing Qiu secretly, frowning. She had agreed too quickly just now and forgot what they were wearing. She couldn't bring herself to do it.

Xing Qiu caught a glimpse of Xiao Linglang's distressed expression, pretended not to know, and asked teasingly, "Why don't you move? Are you going to break your promise, Miss Xiao?"

His eyebrows drooped, and he sighed, "I am a rough man, and I am not worthy of Miss Xiao's careful treatment. It's okay, I'm fine, I can pinch it myself."

She crossed her hands and pinched her shoulders, screaming and wailing as she did so. She kept an eye on Xiao Linglang's changing expressions, and seeing how conflicted and worried she looked, she laughed secretly in her heart.

Xiao Linglang held down Xing Qiu's miserable hand, and said hurriedly with worry in her eyes, "Don't, I'll pinch it for you."

Xing Qiu loved to tease her, but if she was honest, she realized that Xing Qiu had really been taking good care of her over the past month and a half.

Xiao Linglang's brows relaxed slightly. Everything would be fine once they crossed the border and entered the territory of Nanliang. Now they still needed to be cautious.

If she was caught by Tuoba Jin's men, Xiao Linglang trembled unconsciously, knowing that she would be punished and retaliated by him.

When the carriage passed through Beidi, Xing Qiu whipped the horse to leave this damn place quickly, but he ended up making things worse. The horse went too fast, the wheel hit a rock, and the axle broke.

Xing Qiu hugged Xiao Linglang to prevent her from getting bumped. Xiaoman hit her head and cried miserably, and was held in Xiao Linglang's arms.

"The car broke down, what should I do now?"

Xiao Linglang coaxed the little wolf cub, suppressed the nausea rising in her throat, and asked Xing Qiu worriedly, "We have just bypassed Beidi City. If we return to the city, the risk will be too great. Who knows if we will meet someone ahead who can help us repair the car."

She looked at the two helpless horses in front of her, and decided to unload the carriage and ride away.

Xing Qiu looked at the carriage with the wheels off, held his forehead, and looked very upset. He kicked the carriage calmly and spat, "Useless thing."

If they hold on a little longer, they will be able to return to Nanliang.

Now, Xing Qiu pulled a handful of hair in annoyance, turned back to look at the worried girl, and after a long while, pulled her lips, "We won't be so unfortunate."

She unloaded the carriage, put the package on one horse, and she and Xiao Linglang rode on another horse.

The horses moved slowly.

Xiao Linglang's lips moved, then she pursed her lips and said nothing.

When it was getting dark, they finally met a house. Xiao Linglang thought that Xing Qiu was now wanted, so she asked her to cover her face and went to stay overnight.

Before knocking on the door, she clenched her fists and encouraged herself. Usually, it was Xing Qiu who did it, and she couldn't rely on her all the time.

After knocking on the door, she nervously pinched the corner of her clothes and kept looking at Xing Qiu in the distance.

She was startled when the door was opened, but she quickly composed herself and respectfully asked if she could stay overnight as Xing Qiu had instructed.

The visitor looked at her carefully with a serious expression.

Xiao Linglang swallowed nervously, stretched out her finger, and indicated in Mobei dialect that they could add some more silver.

The master was very tempted by the offer she made. He looked at her clothes carefully and thought that she should be able to come up with so much silver, so he nodded.

After getting the affirmation, Xiao Linglang immediately waved to Xing Qiu happily. The sweat on her palms touched the cold wind, making her curl her fingertips.

"Thank you, ma'am, for taking me in."

When Xing Qiu arrived, Xiao Linglang smiled brightly and expressed her gratitude to her master again.

When their eyes met, neither of them noticed the flash of doubt and joy in the master's eyes.
