Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 157 Time to wake up from the dream

Gu Yizi had no intention of killing her, and she knew that the murderous intent was not directed at her when he raised the crossbow. However, he shot the crossbow at such a close distance from her, and she instantly understood something.

And she actually knew about the neck vine.

After all, her mother brought her to Kyoto to escape the war. They didn't take a clear route, but had to climb over mountains and cross rivers, and had been to all kinds of forests.

This herb can cure minor poisons and doesn't pose any major problems, so she was busy digging wild vegetables and ignored it.

But she had probably made the connection the moment Gu Yizi shot the crossbow, so she sprained her ankle at that very moment.

Gu Yizi was dissatisfied with her involvement at that time.

But if she doesn't get involved, how can it all go smoothly and seem real?

Even though she had no martial arts skills, she could guess that since these people dared to come, they must have been secretly watching them when they entered the mountain.

It was impossible for them to withdraw.

The only thing to do is to follow their lead and look for opportunities.

If they don't plan to come to the hunting ground now, the sharp knives hidden in the dark will definitely emerge in the next moment and point towards their necks.

Gu Yizi is a martial arts expert, but Xia Zheng is weak and has a little baby like Ruanruan with her. He may not be able to take care of them all with so many people around.

Fortunately, there are green beans in this mountain.

Fortunately, she picked enough.

What’s better is that they don’t know that this thing is poisonous.

Of course, everything is not that simple. With so many eyes staring at them, the slightest mistake will put them in a desperate situation.

But the tacit understanding between her and Gu Yizi seemed to be much better than she had imagined. With just a glance or a gesture, she could know what the other was thinking.

"Come up." Gu Yizi walked over, half-knelt, turned his back to Xia Zheng, and supported his other hand underneath.

Xia Zheng didn't bother to be pretentious. Her foot really couldn't take it anymore, so she just lay down.

"Where are these people? Are you going to leave them alone?" Seeing Gu Yizi taking her and Ruanruan back and forth like this, Xia Zheng looked at the people still lying on the ground and asked.

"Someone will clean it up."

anyone?

Xia Zheng looked around but didn't see any trace of anyone.

What's more, these people have been following them. If there are other people, wouldn't they know?

Or, those people are higher than them, so...

Then she was acting on her own initiative.

Feeling the tension on his back, Gu Yizi comforted him, "Your method is better. It doesn't require any manpower, nor does it alert the enemy. It saves a lot of effort. Just don't sprain it so badly next time, and don't be afraid of the pain."

"It's not cruel or true." Xia Zheng argued in a low voice.

Gu Yizi glanced back at her, seeing her slightly unconvinced expression, and couldn't help but recall how she was trembling with fear when she was being hunted down in the mansion and accidentally killed Madam Zhao. Now she is much more powerful than before.

She is just like the weeds, able to adapt quickly to any environment.

"Then lie down quietly and rest well when you get back."

"Yes, I'll listen to Gu Lang."

The whispered word "Gu Lang" made Gu Yizi's ears red, and his steps slowed down a little.

It was already 3 p.m. when we walked down the mountain, and the sun began to set.

From a distance, we could see a group of people wearing light armor and holding long spears standing in front of the gate of Yuliu Garden. They were from the patrol camp.

Seeing the two of them, Qin Yang, who had been waiting anxiously outside the door, ran over in two steps.

Xia Zheng wanted to get off Gu Yizi, but he held her tightly. Before she could struggle, Qin Yang was already in front of her.

Looking at Xia Zheng, whose cheeks were slightly red and who dared not look at him directly, and Gu Yizi, who had a calm face, as if nothing was wrong at all, and was still holding the soft and sleeping Gu Yizi in one hand.

Qin Yang didn't care about their affairs and said anxiously: "Why are you running up the mountain for no reason? Do you know that those people have already sent people to wait for the opportunity to get rid of you?"

"What's the rush? Everything has been taken care of."

"deal with?"

Before Qin Yang could ask again, someone came down from another mountain road.

There were two people in a team, each carrying a person wearing hunter clothes, no, a corpse.

Qin Yang was surprised. He had come all the way from the mountain road and didn't hear any noise.

After all, if they fight, they will definitely be defeated, and these people are all trained in secret. Even if they are not as good as Gu Yizi's secret guards, they can still fight for more than ten rounds.

Unless it's silent...

Qin Yang looked at Xia Zheng on Gu Yizi's back. Seeing Gu Yizi nod slightly in response, his understanding of Xia Zheng was further improved, and he felt that Gu Yizi had really found a treasure.

As a result, she was not so angry about him taking two days off at this time and letting all the trouble fall on her head.

"But it's not enough to just kill these people. If this batch doesn't work, there will be the next batch. Besides, a report came from Lin'an today that there is a flood in Cangzhou Prefecture." When Qin Yang mentioned the words "flood in Cangzhou Prefecture", his expression was obviously heavy.

Xia Zheng, who was lying on Gu Yizi's back, also felt his breathing slow down for a moment.

The flood in Cangzhou Prefecture is probably not just a flood.

"Ruanruan is asleep. I'll take her back first."

Xia Zheng went down as she spoke, and this time Gu Yizi did not stop her.

Xia Zheng limped back to the yard carrying Ruanruan in her arms. After placing Ruanruan on the bed, she sat on a small stool outside the kitchen. Looking at the backpack that had been sent back at some point and the flowers inside that she had dug, she felt a little reluctant to leave.

I knew it was a dream from the beginning.

I just wanted to earn money even if it lasted only for a moment.

But when it was time to wake up, I became attached again.

People are indeed greedy.

With a light sigh, Xia Zheng took out one of her favorite wild chrysanthemums from her backpack, dug a hole outside the vegetable patch with a small shovel, and transplanted the wild chrysanthemum in.

When it was time to compact the soil, another shovel got in first, and a slightly apologetic voice rang out in my ears: "I broke my promise."

Xia Zheng shook her head. "Two days is enough. There will always be another chance in the future."

"Once everything is settled, shall we live here?"

they?

Just the two of them?

Xia Zheng didn't understand why Gu Yizi said that. Did everyone else give up?

Just a casual remark from a deep situation.

Since that was the case, Xia Zheng couldn't disobey and just lowered her head and said, "Okay."

I didn't see the joy and satisfaction in Gu Yizi's eyes.

After the wild chrysanthemum was planted, they left Yuliu Garden.

Gu Yizi sent Xia Zheng and Ruanruan back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion before leaving. Nanny Liang and Shuangjiang met her at the door, one holding Ruanruan and the other supporting her.

But as soon as I entered the house, the lights were on and the servants were busy, as if they had just finished something.

"Something happened at home?"

"The Crown Princess went out half an hour ago. His Royal Highness summoned her to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. I guess she won't be back in the near future. She instructed that all affairs in the mansion will still be managed by you." Nanny Liang explained the matter concisely.

Tao Yurong entered the palace to accompany the empress dowager at this time. It seems that the flood in Cangzhou Prefecture has affected a wide range of people.

The rise and fall of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion may also depend on this matter.

Thinking of this, Xia Zheng immediately went into the mansion and ordered people to close the door.

When he returned to Yinlin Courtyard and was about to inquire about the affairs of the mansion in the past two days, he first saw a long brocade box on the dressing table. It was the one that Gu Yizi brought and took away last time.

"It was sent by the prince before you came back, Surong." Shuangjiang said.

Xia Zheng reached out and opened the brocade box. Inside was a long, crystal-clear glass hairpin. The kitten on it was lifelike, and its claws swayed the lotus, creating ripples.

Xia Zheng couldn't help but think of the time she spent in Yuliu Garden. She immediately closed the lid and handed it to Shuangjiang to put away.

Now that I'm back, I shouldn't dream anymore.
