As if sensing that I was trying to suppress myself, Pei Yuanxiu held my hand harder and his voice became firmer: "The news they sent back is that Li'er was just kidnapped - don't worry.

!I will definitely find Li'er and bring her back safely!"

My cold fingertips slowly calmed down in his palm, I raised my head, looked at his firm eyes, and said softly: "Yeah."

Hearing my voice, he immediately seemed relieved and smiled at me.

But just when he was about to get up and leave, he felt my backhand grabbing his hand. Pei Yuanxiu was suddenly startled and turned back to look at me in disbelief.

I looked into his eyes calmly: "I'll go too."

"What?" After hearing this, he immediately said subconsciously: "No."

"I must go."

"Qingying!"

"Master!" I looked at him seriously and irresistibly, and said, "No matter what disaster my daughter encounters, or what harm she will suffer, as a mother, I should always be by her side.

I have been absent for so many years, and I don’t want to be absent again at this time, when I am so close to her!”

As if shocked by my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a while, and finally said softly: "But your body -"

"I have gotten much better. Besides, any mother will persevere for her daughter." I said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to survive today."

"..."

Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak, just looked at me, with a hint of shaken trembling in his eyes. After a while, he turned around and faced me, took my hands with both hands and squeezed them hard, saying: "

I can take you there, but Qingying, you must also promise me——"

"I won't force myself." Before he could speak, I already said, "I won't take risks either. I want myself and my daughter to meet each other safely."

After hearing my words of assurance, Pei Yuanxiu finally seemed to feel relieved and nodded gently: "Okay."

It was already past Yin hour when he came to the inner courtyard, and naturally he couldn't sleep for the rest of the time. Soon several maids came to help me wash and dress, and I sorted my luggage for a while. Before dawn, I

After helping me out of the inner courtyard, Pei Yuanxiu and others were already waiting at the door. When he saw me leaving, he immediately came to greet me.

"You're here."

I nodded and looked around. He did bring a lot of people, and they were all good people. But to my surprise, I saw two carriages parked at the door.

If you rush to rescue someone, shouldn't you ride a horse and rush there as quickly as possible?

As if he saw the confusion in my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "Your body can't withstand such a bump, so I prepared a carriage for you."

I hurriedly said: "Don't worry about me, it's important to rescue Li'er earlier."

"Qingying, you promised me to be obedient."

"But——"

"Shh-" He stretched out his finger, touched the white gauze in front of my hat, and said softly: "I promised you that I will bring Li'er back safely. You must also be obedient. If I don't have you,

...Then whatever I do will be meaningless."

If it weren't for you...then whatever I do would be meaningless.

With these words echoing in my ears, I was stunned when I looked at his unsmiling eyes.

The sky was dark, the clouds were thick, and the city of Yangzhou without sunshine was as cold as an icy bonsai in this early morning. The only thing with warmth was his hand. I was led by him stupidly to the carriage, softly

He coaxed: "I own both carriages.

It's pulled by a good horse, so don't worry, it won't be any slower than ours on horseback. But when the carriage on the mountain road can no longer be boarded, you have to get down. At that time, it really depends on whether you can carry it down.

Now, take a good rest."

I finally couldn't say anything else and nodded lightly. Just as I was about to get on the carriage, I saw a group of people coming from behind carrying several large boxes and putting the boxes into the carriage behind.

, looking at the heavy box, it shook a few times when it was put on the carriage, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange - weren't we going to rescue Li'er? What were we doing with those big boxes?

Just as I was wondering, Pei Yuanxiu had already helped me get on the carriage, and he quickly jumped on.

I moved to the window, looked back, and asked, "What's in that carriage behind?"

He said calmly: "Money."

"Ah?"

"If those people want money, that's the best thing to do."

"Oh..."

I forgot that Li'er was kidnapped, maybe for money. If I can redeem Li'er by giving them gold and silver, this is naturally the safest and most appropriate way.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Pei Yuanxiu. Fortunately, he thought carefully.

But...

If those people don’t want money, I’m afraid——

Meeting my gaze, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to understand everything, and smiled faintly at me: "Don't worry, just close your eyes and take a rest now. When we get there, we'll see what happens next."

I nodded.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. It seemed like someone was talking loudly and making noise inside. Many people's footsteps were heard. After a while, someone ran out from inside and asked.

He ran outside our carriage and said respectfully: "Sir..."

Pei Yuanxiu had already closed his eyes to rest, but at this time he opened his eyes, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

"Miss Zitong heard the news and wanted to go too."

Miss Zitong? She is the descendant of the King of Jiangxia, Han Zitong!

When I heard her name, I opened my eyes subconsciously, but I saw Pei Yuanxiu just said lightly: "Tell her to stay in the house well. Once we go, we will naturally save Ruoshi."<

/p>

"Yes."

The man took the order and retreated. He heard a whip whistle outside, the sound of horse hooves galloping forward, and our carriage also started to move quickly.

Because we were rescuing people, we naturally couldn't waste time. The first group of cavalry quickly abandoned us and disappeared in front of us. Pei Yuanxiu didn't lie to me. The horses pulling the cart were indeed good horses. Although they couldn't keep up with the galloping horses, they were still fast.

It's not too slow, it's just that we can't be too comfortable under the premise of moving forward so fast.

The carriage drove for most of the day, and I felt a slight pain from being bumped around. But when I thought that Li'er might be in danger, I could only grit my teeth and endure it. In order to rush on the road, we hardly stopped to rest along the way. We just looked at the scenery outside the window.

The sun was like fire, and then slowly dimmed. I held on for a whole day, and my eyelids kept fighting. Finally, I couldn't help it, and gently closed my eyes.

I don’t know if it was because I was too tired or for some other reason, but I quickly fell asleep, but the carriage was jolting like this, and even if I fell asleep, it was not stable. I frowned and hummed subconsciously as I was jolted. After a while,

As if I fell into a cloud in a dream, the soft and warm breath surrounded me, finally making me feel more comfortable and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I still couldn't open my eyes, but first I felt someone's breath blowing on my cheek, a slight **** feeling.

The warm feeling under my body made me stunned. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was being held in Pei Yuanxiu's arms!

He sat on the edge of the car, almost holding my entire upper body in his arms. No wonder I slept so peacefully. He helped me bear all the bumps, but he didn't rest enough to look into my eyes.

At this time, the slightly red eyes bent.

My body froze and I struggled to get up quickly: "Young Master..."

He didn't stop me, he just let go gently and looked at me with a smile: "Did you sleep well?"

"..." I bit my lower lip and said nothing.

"Don't mind," he looked at me gently: "I just saw that you were having a hard time sleeping, and I wanted to make you feel more comfortable."

"..."

"Don't worry, no one else will see it."

"..." I glanced at him and hesitated - actually, I didn't mind other people seeing him. He carried me in and out several times in Yangzhou, and he had already been seen by others.

I just don’t want to—thinking of this, I raised my head and looked into his gentle eyes, and became even more speechless.

At this time, the carriage stopped.

A horse turned back from the front, walked to the carriage, and said respectfully: "Sir, the carriage cannot go on this section of the road below."

When he and I heard this, our spirits perked up, and Pei Yuanxiu immediately said: "Prepare your horses."

As he spoke, he opened the curtain and jumped down. I also hurriedly moved to the door. Once he stood still, he turned back to me and stretched out his hands: "Come."

I was stunned for a moment, feeling that my joints were still aching, so I could only hold out my hand obediently, and was half-supported and half-carried by him out of the car. Then I saw clearly that the convoy had entered a valley, and smoke was billowing on the road.

Before they dispersed, I looked up and saw that there was already a narrow and rugged mountain road ahead, and the carriage could no longer move forward at all.

In addition to our carriage, the carriage containing gold, silver and jewelry also stopped. A group of people walked over, opened the boxes and took out the contents, and distributed them to the bags on each person's saddle.

As I was watching, an attendant led a tall horse slowly over. Pei Yuanxiu took the reins, turned over and got on the horse's back.

His figure was very strong, and I just saw his clothes flying, and he was already sitting firmly on the horse, then leaned down and stretched out his hand towards me.

Still the same as before.

I raised my head and looked at the rugged and steep mountain road in front of me. Regardless of my equestrian skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long with my current body.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, reached out and grabbed his hand, and felt him pull hard. He pulled me onto the horse's back and sat in his arms.

A hand came across and wrapped tightly around my waist. I felt his breath in my ear and said softly: "Sit tight."

I don't know if it was because his breath was strangely hot, but my ears were also burned red by the breath, so I just said softly: "Yeah."
