This time, Zhou Peng and others were able to successfully collect the amaranth grass thanks to the assistance of Yelü Qi. Therefore, in Xiao Zhen's view, Yelü Qi also deserves credit for saving his life.
Xie Jingrun felt very uncomfortable hearing Yelü Qi's approval in his words.
If Qingqing hadn't already married him, would Xiao Zhen still have been willing to marry Qingqing to Yelü Qi?
"I'll go find her and bring her back." He suppressed his displeasure, said calmly, and walked out.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhen didn't dare to stop them, so he only ordered Zhou Peng and the others to follow and protect them.
At this moment, on the grasslands outside the pass, Rong Qingqing, Yelü Qi, and Jiang Zhou were having a horse race.
Although it was called a horse race, Yelü Qi and Jiangzhou's horsemanship was far superior to hers, so there was no way they could compete. The two of them were just accompanying her on horseback.
However, the feeling of galloping freely on horseback across the vast grassland was so exhilarating that Rong Qingqing was in high spirits.
After a few exhilarating rides, she felt that her equestrian skills had improved.
Behind a mountain not far away, two men dressed as Huns were hiding. They couldn't help but get anxious as they watched Yelü Qi and Jiang Zhou, who were always by Rong Qingqing's side.
"If those two don't leave, how can we make our move?"
"Let's wait and see, she'll eventually be alone."
...
Rong Qingqing had no idea that someone was hiding behind the mountain and wanted to capture her.
She rode her horse around several times, and as noon approached, she thought about Xiao Zhen and decided to go back.
But before that, she needed to relieve herself.
She looked around and saw that the only place to relieve herself was behind the hill not far away, so she told Jiangzhou and spurred her horse to go there.
She needed to relieve herself, and Jiangzhou naturally couldn't follow her, but he rode his horse to accompany her to the side of the mountain before stopping his horse.
Looking at the lush trees behind the mountain, he thought for a moment and said to Rong Qingqing, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment while I go and check to make sure it is safe before you go."
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Rong Qingqing was already aware of his cautious nature, and upon hearing this, she didn't object.
Not long after, Jiangzhou returned. "Your Majesty, I have checked and there is no problem. You may go now."
"Okay." Rong Qingqing threw down the reins, jumped off the horse, and walked over quickly.
Upon reaching the back of the mountain, Rong Qingqing gazed at the lush trees in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to go over. Although Jiangzhou had inspected the area, there was no guarantee that there would be no danger.
That jungle is very well hidden; even if someone is hiding there, it's not easy to spot them.
So she didn't go into the jungle, but instead relieved herself behind the mountain.
Fortunately, the skirt was loose, and once the pants underneath were taken off, nothing could be seen.
She squatted down with peace of mind.
But just as she finished relieving herself and got up to pull down her pants, she suddenly heard the sound of pine branches being broken behind her.
Although the sound was very soft, she still heard it.
Her body hair stood on end.
Could it be some kind of wild animal?
Thinking this, she stood up calmly, quickly put on her pants, and then took a step to run.
"River……"
However, she had only managed to utter one word when her mouth was covered, and then her body was forcefully pulled backward.
A sense of horror washed over her; it wasn't some wild beast she had imagined, but a human.
Realizing this, she calmed down and quickly pulled the gold hairpin from her hair, then stabbed it hard into the hand that the person was using to cover her mouth.
