General

"Then Lian Jingzhi privately called the garrison troops to escort Zhao Jianyong back to the capital. If others found out, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go easily." Lan Jing put together the testimonies and put them neatly on the table, while Tilting his head, he looked at Li Xuan and said, "Such a man who is both affectionate and mighty is rare~"

"Oh?"

Li Xuan saw the teasing meaning in his words, so he raised his eyebrows on purpose, leaned over and whispered in his ear jokingly, "Look at your envious face, am I not affectionate enough or mighty enough?"

"Affection is naturally there..." Lan Jing simply put her hands around Li Xuan's neck, folded her hands on his shoulders and hooked her lips, and said charmingly, "But it's mighty...it depends on which aspect~"

Looking at his sultry smile, Li Xuan felt his heart beating wildly several times. He stood up abruptly, lifted Lan Jing high and hugged her into his arms.

Lan Jing was startled by this sudden movement, and then realized that Li Xuan was hugging her, so she hugged Li Xuan's neck tightly as if in reproach, and wrapped her legs ambiguously around his waist.

"Remember, no matter what aspect, your husband is the most powerful man in the entire Longxiao Kingdom~" Li Xuan snorted coldly pretending to be displeased, raised his heroic face and frowned at Lan Jing.

Lanjing was firmly held in his arms, and finally she was willing to let go of the hands that were tightly wrapped around his neck. Panting unconsciously, she held up his knife-like handsome face, staring at the deep black eyes Charmingly said: "Tonight...I just want to try~"

"Yes, but..." Li Xuan paused intentionally, turned his head and gently kissed his fair wrist, and smiled slightly, "Don't cry this time~"

……

Among the snow-capped mountains and forests, a group of chariots and horses are speeding along the quiet official road.Two teams of guards wearing military uniforms and long swords on their waists escorted them, all of them with stern faces, guarding the people in the car meticulously.

Although it is an official road, this place is very desolate, surrounded by continuous mountains, and the rugged path twists and turns in a dark dense forest.

It was dusk, and the already dimmer setting sun was struggling to pass through the dead branches, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. Ning Yu looked around with her brows furrowed, and her expression became more dignified.

It's going to be dark soon, but the mountain forest still can't see the edge, the cold wind in the distance passes through the dead trees, and there are frightening whispers among the swaying weeds.

"Lord Zhao." Ning Yu rode her horse to the side of the carriage, and said in a low voice through the simple thick satin curtain, "Your subordinates didn't plan well, I'm afraid I will have to sleep in this dense forest tonight."

Zhao Jianyong slowly lifted the veil, looked around through the dim light, shook his head invisibly, and said in a deep voice: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go on the road overnight..."

"But my lord, you haven't eaten water or rice for a whole day, and you haven't been able to rest for a while, I'm afraid your body will be overwhelmed." Ning Yu knew that this place was not right, but she couldn't ignore Zhao Jianyong's situation, she hesitated slightly, pursed her lips and said .

"This place is located at the junction of the two counties of Chang'an and Changxing. It is deserted and uninhabited. Changxing County is also Li Shouhong's territory. It is very convenient to set up an ambush. The most important thing is that it is getting late and the cold wind is covering the trail..." Zhao Jianyong There was a gloomy look in the shrewd eyes, and he said coldly, "No matter the time, place and people are at a disadvantage, it doesn't matter if I'm tired. Don't disregard the lives of the guards. It's better to leave earlier now."

"...Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Ning Yu nodded, looked around cautiously again at the gradually fading sky, and slightly frowned at the guard beside her: "Notice, hurry on the road overnight."

……

Night finally fell on the land unknowingly, and the dark woods became more and more frightening. The cold wind in winter was biting, roaring and passing by.

Not far away, half a person's tall weeds grew on the snow-covered ground, swaying back and forth with the howling wind.Ning Yu looked around silently, bit her thin lips tightly, and clenched the rein tightly in her hands with eyes full of anxiety.

For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with this place, and even the air seemed to carry a vaguely dangerous atmosphere...

Just when he rode his horse and galloped to Zhao Jianyong, a burst of arrows roared from the darkness.Accompanied by a burst of screams that were caught off guard, Ning Yu suddenly pulled out her sword, jumped up from the horse's back, and quickly blocked those sharp arrows from the carriage.

"Protect Lord Zhao!"

The rain of arrows gradually stopped, and Ning Yu stood in front of the car with a horizontal sword, staring at the front with cold eyes.

Countless dark figures gradually poked their heads out from the grass, and under the dim moonlight, the icy sharp blade reflected a frightening cold light.
