The next sentence of Chapter 772

Xiao Qi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He felt his cheeks burning, but he pretended nothing had happened and said, "What did you say? The wind was a bit strong just now, I didn't hear you clearly."

"I've learned from Xiao Qiuyue for a few days, so let's go all out with this act."

Lin Yuesha meant that a superficial show of affection was enough to fool Prince Luo. For someone about to die, not being perfunctory was the greatest respect one could show, and she would do her best to fulfill Prince Luo's wishes. As for the full wedding night ceremony that followed, she decided against it.

"Not this sentence, the next sentence."

Disappointed at not hearing what he wanted to hear, Xiao Qi continued to guide Lin Yuesha.

"The next sentence?"

Lin Yuesha was completely baffled. Chatting wasn't an exam; she couldn't possibly remember what she had said.

"Speaking of titles, let's get to the titles."

Xiao Qi kindly reminded her, and then waited hopefully for Lin Yuesha to utter those two words.

But Lin Yuesha deliberately prevented him from getting his way, and kept rambling on. When they arrived in the suburbs, Xiao Qi still hadn't heard those two words. He kept looking for an opportunity.

It felt like an addiction.

"Brother Qi, this area looks familiar."

Lin Yuesha looked around and realized that they seemed to have returned to the territory of the Forty-Eight Villages.

"Yes, let's go to Sixteen Villages to find Yang Qing for a drink."

Xiao Qi carried Lin Yuesha off the horse and galloped towards the mountaintop.

With the war in the Northwest becoming increasingly intense and good generals hard to find, he did indeed intend to bring Yang Qing under his command. Moreover, Yang Qing was an upright man and a man of unwavering integrity.

"Then why didn't you say so sooner?"

Speaking of Yang Qing, Lin Yuesha gets angry. She went to great lengths to recruit Yang Qing, exhausting all the love she had for her country in her past life. She racked her brains to come up with the right words, but the pockmarked man snatched the prize away and even rubbed salt into her wounds.

"Before that, there was no plan."

Seeing his little sister seemingly having her tail stepped on, Xiao Qi felt a little happy for no reason, just like when he was teasing a kitten.

Lin Yuesha was dejected. It was too late to say anything now. People who try to interfere when others are about to succeed are the most despicable. They are too good at picking up the scraps.

When the two arrived at the Sixteen Villages, Lin Yuesha clearly noticed that the brothers of the Sixteen Villages were different from the rabble under Hong Niangzi's command; they were well-trained and full of energy.

"Most of Yang Qing's brothers are loyal and courageous."

Xiao Qi timely clarified Lin Yuesha's doubts. Birds of a feather flock together, and for this reason, he greatly admired Yang Qing's talent.

"Young Master Qi, since you've come to our mountain stronghold, there's plenty of meat for you. How could we possibly let you bring your own pheasants and rabbits!"

Feng Anqing, the second chieftain under Yang Qing, greeted the two and said, "Our chieftain is in a bit of trouble and would like to ask Miss Lin for help."

"Oh, is there anything I can do?"

Lin Yuesha stood up and said very enthusiastically.

Xiao Qi did not stop him, but instead extended his hand, signaling Feng Anqing to continue speaking.

"Here's what happened. Today, on our chieftain's way back to the mountain stronghold, a girl fell in the snow, and our chieftain's horse almost trampled her."

The village chief has already asked, and they are not from the surrounding villages, nor do they look like people from the Forty-Eight Villages based on their clothing.

At that time, the girl was so frightened that she fainted, so the village chief had no choice but to take her up the mountain. He couldn't just watch her die.

“Miss Lin, our mountain village is full of men. That young lady’s clothes are soaked through with snow and she needs a change. We went to great lengths to get two sets of clothes, but no one is available to help her change.”

She is, after all, a young woman. If they were to do something improper and cause her to lose her reputation, it would be unseemly.

After the commotion that started last night, all the mountain strongholds are now resting and recuperating, and Yang Qing doesn't want to trouble Qiu Niang because of this.

"We were originally planning to ask an old lady from the village to come up the mountain to help us, but since Miss Lin is here, could you please do us this favor?"

Feng Anqing explained it to Lin Yuesha in detail, and then asked for her opinion.

"No problem, it's a small matter."

Lin Yuesha agreed without hesitation. She could only help with small matters; she wasn't a doctor. If the girl was injured, she would have to go to the First Village to ask for Lianqiao.

"That's natural."

Feng Anqing led the way, with Lin Yuesha following. The two headed straight for the residences of the Sixteenth Village, which, like the First Village, consisted of a row of spacious cave dwellings.

Inside the room, the lights were bright, and Yang Qing was sitting on the edge of the bed, blushing and fiddling with her clothes.

“Miss Bai, you can speak as you please, but there’s no need to lay hands on me. It’s improper.”

Yang Qing was red-faced and at a loss. He felt sorry for the girl, who was lying in the snow and almost trampled by his own horse. After bringing her up the mountain, he realized that he had made a mistake and should have taken her to a villager's house instead.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little scared."

Bai Youran's limbs were stiff. She had been lying in the snow for a long time, and even now, a cold wind was blowing all over her body, and she had not yet regained any feeling.

She was terrified and could only cling to the person in front of her.

Lin Yuesha was led to the room and asked in disbelief, "Bai Youran?"

After they parted ways outside Qin City that day, Lin Yuesha never saw the Bai siblings or Wei Lan again.

I heard that the Wei family has rebelled and turned against the Bai family. Prefect Bai fled to Sishui City with his family, and Bai Dingfeng has also disappeared.

Seeing this, Yang Qing wiped his sweat and said, "It's easy if we know each other. Miss Lin, I'll leave this to you."

After he finished speaking, he strode away from the room in an instant, leaving Lin Yuesha and Bai Youran staring at each other in disbelief.

"Moonlight Maiden, that's wonderful!"

Bai Youran burst into tears of excitement. In the past few days, she had been fleeing and hiding everywhere. Because she did not know the way, she could only look for deserted wilderness. Unexpectedly, she encountered the battle of the Forty-Eight Villages.

She spent the night in the cold haystack, and the next day, exhausted, she fainted and knew nothing more.

"I woke up to find myself in the mountain stronghold. I thought I had been captured, but it turns out Chief Yang isn't that kind of person..."

Bai Youran wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, unable to find the words to describe the harrowing days that had passed.

In short, she was lucky to have survived.

"How much do you really know about the Wei family and the Bai family?"

By the light of the oil lamp, Lin Yuesha fiddled with the two sets of clothes on the table. They were a little too big for Bai Youran, but she could only make do with them.

In urgent situations, one must act expediently. Judging from Bai Youran's condition, if her blood is not massaged first, her entire leg will be ruined.

"I didn't know much before, but Bai Dingfeng told me the day we parted."

Bai Youran smiled bitterly. If she hadn't known, she wouldn't have considered returning to the Bai family as a bargaining chip for exchanging benefits, let alone knowing her father's ambitions.

Therefore, she had no choice but to run, to run as far away as possible, to avoid the Bai family and the Wei family at the same time.

"Sister Yue Sha, can you understand?"

Bai Youran burst into tears; she was truly wronged.

She admits she's jealous and has done her share of bad things, but all she wants is to marry a good man and live a stable life, nothing more.
