Chapter 12 Riding the Same Horse
On the other side, Tang Xi and Jian Chijin have reached the final stage.
There were piles of corpses as far as the eye could see, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was nauseating.
After getting rid of the last person, Tang Xi was covered in blood and stained to the point where it was hard to tell what color dress she was wearing.
Jian Chijin was dressed in black and looked cleaner than her. Seeing that Tang Xi had only a small face and could barely see through it, he couldn't help laughing.
Smiling like this in a mountain of corpses, there will always be a creepy and weird feeling. Tang Xi cursed "madman" and threw the dagger in his hand.
After killing so many people, her physical strength was already a little exhausted.
The dagger was easily caught by Jian Chijin and put into its sheath.
Tang Xi turned around and went to look for the treasure.
"Miss." Baozhen struggled to stand up.
Tang Xi pressed her shoulders to prevent her from getting up. He lowered his head to check the wound on her leg and found that it had been bandaged.
"Miss, are you injured?" Baozhen looked left and right, her eyes were red.
She did the lady a disservice again.
Tang Xi smiled and shook his head. He wanted to reach out and rub her head, but found that there was blood on his hands, so he had no choice but to give up. His eyes fell on the porcelain bottle in her hand, "What is this?"
"Painkillers." Baozhen handed her the medicine bottle and said obediently, "I didn't take it."
She doesn't understand medicine, but the lady knows these things well.
Tang Xi reached out to take it, uncorked the bottle and sniffed it closer to make sure there was nothing strange. He took out a white handkerchief from his arms and poured a pill on it, "Ah, open your mouth."
Baozhen obediently opened her mouth and ate.
Gao Feiwei on the side:...
Beware of him if you are a co-author.
Does he look that bad?!
"Thank you." Tang Xi returned the porcelain bottle to him, then sat down on the spot, leaning side by side with Baozhen on the tattered carriage, showing no image at all.
Gao Feiwei scratched his head, looked at her exhausted look, said "You're welcome", and ran to help others clean up the battlefield.
The corpses at the scene were quickly buried. Tang Xi squinted and rested on Baozhen's shoulder. Suddenly she heard the sound of horse hooves and she opened her eyes suddenly.
When he saw that the group of people had already mounted their horses and were about to leave, Tang Xi was so angry that he ran over and opened his arms to block their way, "Jian Chijin!!"
Because of him, the guard who protected her ran away, the carriage was hacked, and Baozhen was injured. Now this person is going to leave without caring about them? How irresponsible!
The soldiers following Jian Chijin widened their eyes. This woman actually dared to call them the general's full name.
Sitting upright on the horse, Jian Chijin held the reins, lowered her eyes slightly, and said seriously: "Miss Tang, what else can you do?"
Tang Xi resisted the urge to punch him in the face, gritted his teeth and said, "I need a horse."
"Horse?" Jian Chijin frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking seriously. She looked behind her and pointed, "Unfortunately, we don't have any extra horses."
Tang Xi clenched her fists. She tilted her head and looked in the direction pointed by Jian Chijin. Was there no horse left? She could just kill anyone.
"Don't even think about it." Jian Chijin suddenly stretched out her hand to straighten her head.
Tang Xi stared at him unconvinced.
How does he know what she is thinking?
"There are no extra horses. If you don't mind, we can ride on the same horse." Jian Chijin said.
"Baozhen has an injury on her leg and cannot be bumpy. I can take care of her by riding with her." Tang Xi looked up at him.
"What a coincidence. Gao Fei's horse guarding skills are excellent, and the horse has been with him for many years. It is more stable on the horse than in the carriage. It is more suitable to leave it to him than Miss Tang."
Gao Feiwei, who had been listening to their conversation, raised his eyebrows. He had never heard the general praise him so much. Why did he feel that he had a purpose?
Tang Xi turned around and looked at Gao Feiwei, who was riding on a horse and carrying a sword behind Jian Chijin. He looked up and down and reluctantly nodded.
Her horsemanship is not very good. No matter how well-behaved a horse is, it will turn into a wild horse if she rides it.
She agreed, and Gao Feiwei dismounted himself and picked up Baozhen, then climbed back on his horse to protect her in his arms. The horse took a few steps on the spot, and it was indeed very stable.
Gao Feiwei was also a little nervous being stared at by Tang Xi. He completed a series of actions with great diligence, and it felt like he was back at the school where he trained as a soldier. If he didn't do well, he would be beaten.
After settling Baozhen, Tang Xi looked at the remaining dozen horses and asked, "Where should I sit?"
Jian Chijin patted the saddle under her body and stretched out her hand with a playful smile on her lips.
Tang Xi paused, without being pretentious, and put her hand on his generous palm. Jian Chijin pulled hard, and she jumped up and straddled the horse, sitting in his arms.
"Drive!" He shouted in a low voice, pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and started running along the road ahead.
The road was not easy to walk on, and the horse was bumping up and down violently while running on the road. Tang Xi tightly pulled the mane around the horse's neck with both hands, and was almost knocked off several times.
She really let Jian Chijin carry her because her head was caught in the door.
She was a little worried about whether Baozhen could sit firmly, but it turned out that she was overthinking it, because Gao Feiwei held the reins with one hand and put his other hand thoughtfully around Baozhen's waist to ensure that she could sit firmly.
She was the only one holding on to her horse's hair, trying to spit out the overnight meal.
The horse made another big jump. Tang Xi couldn't hold it firmly and was about to fall off. Jian Chijin quickly picked it up and held it in his arms.
Tang Xi grabbed Jian Chijin's arm around her waist and breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was a little embarrassed. Although the fall only happened in a moment, she was ready to drag Jian Chijin down with her.
Thinking that he would still pull her.
Jian Chijin tightened his arms around her, and the shape of her waist was outlined. She leaned into his arms and quietly moved her position.
"Don't move." Jian Chijin warned, but a wave of heat rose up in her body.
"I will never sit on your horse again!" Tang Xi shouted uncontrollably. She was not a boudoir lady who didn't understand anything. She could feel what was going on behind her.
Jian Chijin's arm around her waist relaxed and sighed, "Who told you to move?"
"Your horsemanship is so bad that I can't sit comfortably."
Jian Chijin caught a glimpse of her red ears and smiled softly. The magnetic deep voice passed from his hard chest to Tang Xi's ears. She glanced sideways, "What are you laughing at?"
"You're not smiling." Jian Chijin straightened her head and said in a dull voice, "Stop moving."
He couldn't stand it anymore.
Hot breath sprayed on Tang Xi's neck. She shrank her neck and snorted coldly, "Didn't you say that General Ning Yuan is not a womanizer?"
Jian Chijin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that he should explain, but he didn't know where to start. He could only say, "Don't move, I will be fine in a while" and endured it secretly.
Tang Xi pinched his arm hard as punishment.
The horse ran very fast, but the battle in the woods took too long. It was already dark when we saw the gate of the capital city.
There were hurried pedestrians rushing back to the capital city to the beat of closed-door drums.
Jian Chijin pulled off his cloak and pulled Tang Xi into it.
He led the troops and went straight to the city gate.
The city gate guard recognized him, said a few compliments, and let him go.
There were not many pedestrians on the street. A group of people were galloping on their horses, raising dust along the way.
Tang Xi revealed his eyes from his hood and wanted Jian Chijin to find a deserted place to put them down.
But he caught a glimpse of a familiar carriage.
"Brother!" Tang Xi called as he passed by.
Jian Chijin tightened the reins urgently, and the horse's hooves were raised high and fell down.
The carriage also stopped, and a pair of fair and slender hands lifted the curtain, revealing a face as gentle as jade. He looked for the source of the sound uncertainly. When he saw Tang Xi surrounded by Jian Chijin, he hurriedly
He lowered the curtains and jumped out of the car with the support of the groom.
Tang Xi pushed Jian Chijin's arm away and jumped off the horse.
The horse snorted twice.
Gao Feiwei had already placed Baozhen firmly on the ground, and Tang Xi stepped forward to support her.
"Xi'er," Tang You looked at the two of them in a state of embarrassment and asked in shock, "What's going on?"
Tang Xi sniffed and said hoarsely: "I met a group of gangsters when I went down the mountain today. Fortunately, General Ning Yuan came to the rescue, and I barely escaped. Baozhen was injured on his leg in order to save me."
After saying that, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Gao Feiwei stared at this scene with his mouth open. The female devil who had just cut off a human head with a knife was now crying and miserable.
The real world is not easy, and the witch is miserable.
Tang You's eyes were solemn. He glanced around and saw no familiar clothes. He asked in a deep voice, "Where are the guards who protect you?"
"They... they died to protect me." Tang Xi sobbed softly, her shoulders shaking.
Now that you run away, never come back.
Tang You carefully wiped away the tears on her cheeks and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, my brother will accompany you when you go to these places in the future."
"Uncle Yong, help Miss and Baozhen get into the car." Tang You turned to tell Uncle Yong and then faced Jian Chijin.
He cupped his hands, his moon-white attire shimmering, his figure slender, gentle and courteous, standing in the midst of the crowd, his temperament elegant and unfazed.
"Thank you so much, General Ning Yuan, for your rescue today. Tang expressed his gratitude to the general on behalf of his sister-in-law. The grace of saving her life will be unforgettable. From now on, the general will be my guest at the Earl of Xianchang Mansion."
Jian Chijin nodded slightly as a reply.
"One more thing," Tang You looked at Jian Chijin apologetically, "I hope General Ning Yuan will not publicize what happened to my sister today."
Jian Chijin nodded, took one last deep look at the closed carriage, clamped the horse's belly, and drove away.
After returning home, Tang You immediately arranged for a doctor.
After Tang Xi and Baozhen took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and invited the doctor in.
He took his pulse and checked Baozhen's wounds.
Tang Xi was fine except for mental illness, but Baozhen's leg was seriously injured, with bones visible.
Tang You asked a doctor who specialized in treating trauma to bandage her, used golden sore medicine worth a hundred gold, and thoughtfully prepared the best scar-removing ointment. He also provided her with two maids dedicated to serving her.
Tang Xi watched Baozhen fall asleep, tucked her in and walked out of the side hall.
The candlelight danced, and Tang Xi saw Tang You sitting at the table at a glance. He was casually flipping through a book, which should be the leisure book she usually read. The candlelight illuminated his face in and out.
"Brother." Tang Xi called out in a low voice.
Tang You looked up and saw her, his eyes full of doting.
"Is she asleep?" He put down the book gently.
"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded and sat down opposite him.
"You really care about this little girl." Tang You joked, "You still have to coax her to sleep."
Tang Xi smiled, looked at the dancing candlelight, and thought of Baozhen's bright smile, and said helplessly: "She is afraid of pain, and can't sleep when it hurts. If I coax her, she can sleep early."
Tang You caught a glimpse of her lips, stood up and poured a glass of water for her, "Baozhen's loyalty to you is unparalleled, and you are so kind to her, but you have failed no one." He pushed the water glass in front of her,
"The prerequisite for taking care of her is to take good care of yourself and keep your mouth dry."
Tang Xi blushed in embarrassment, took a few sips from the water glass, and moistened her lips.
"Xi'er," Tang You pursed his thin lips slightly, his eyes dimmed, and he spoke slightly solemnly, "Have you and General Ning Yuan known each other before?"
Tang Xi held the cup, thought for a while, and shook his head, "I have only seen him once from a distance at a palace banquet, and today is the first time I spoke to him."
Tang You nodded thoughtfully.
"Xi'er, do you still remember how those gangsters dressed?"
Tang Xi knew he was going to investigate and looked serious, "There are more than a dozen of them, all wearing black night clothes and face scarves. I can't see their faces, but they seem to be very powerful. General Ning Yuan took them all at once."
No less than them."
She didn't tell her any useful information, and Tang You didn't ask any more questions. He told her not to think too much, to rest early, and to see her again tomorrow, and then left.
Tang Xi remained seated and still, listening to his footsteps that were moving away. She got up and went to the inner room to change into night clothes, then quietly went out under the moonlight.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
There were so many escaped guards, and she wasted a lot of energy searching for them one by one.
The second day.
early morning.
The Earl of Xianchang received an anonymous gift, along with a letter addressed to the countess.
Naturally, the countess would not do such an inexplicable thing herself, so several servants went up to open the box together.
When they saw what was inside, they were instantly frightened to the point of peeing, and some of the timid ones even fainted.
Those are four heads.
The news quickly spread throughout the house, and when it reached Sun Wanrong's ears, she was tying Tang Min's hair into a bun. Tang Min was picking through the spilled rouge and gouache like a child and smearing it on her face.
Sun Wanrong did not dare to see it in person, so she sent a maid who knew the details to go and see it.
She knew that things had gone wrong since she learned that Tang Xi had returned safe and sound last night, but she never expected that Tang Xi would dare to send these four heads back.
The eldest maid quickly ran back in a panic and was sure to be the four people who took the money to do the work.
Sun Wanrong's legs weakened and she collapsed to the ground.
How did she do it?
Isn't she a sick person?
"Madam, I want you to go to the study." The boy next to Tang Xianchang ran over to deliver the message.
Sun Wanrong knew that the news of someone sending a head to the Countess would soon spread throughout the streets.
This is related to the face of the entire Earl Xianchang Mansion, and Tang Xianchang will definitely investigate it.
Sun Wanrong looked at her stupid daughter and already made up her mind. She couldn't hide it from him by buying and killing people, so she might as well tell him honestly and let him see clearly what her daughter was.
