Chapter 483: Escape by Fire
Qin Xiangnuan understood from Aji's tearful explanation that Aji was sent to Jiang Lin because his family was in the hands of King Cheng.
However, a few days after Aji left, King Cheng ordered all the people to be killed.
After learning the truth, Aji wanted to die with King Cheng, but he was too weak. He had no way to kill King Cheng and was instead knocked down by King Cheng's men.
"So these injuries were left from your resistance?" Qin Xiangnuan asked with a frown.
Ah Ji nodded and said, "Miss Qin, don't worry. Although I'm in this state now, I have found out all the information I need to know. My good friend is a know-it-all and he loves these gossips the most."
Qin Xiangnuan pursed her lips and didn't tell Aji that this news was no longer important to them.
Since things have developed to this point, there is no need to think about it so much, and Aji's news will not arouse King Cheng's suspicion.
The hatred for the murder of his relatives was enough for Aji to set fire and escape. King Cheng would not connect Aji's news with Jiang Lin.
"You take a rest first. I'll go check out the route and come pick you up later." Qin Xiangnuan said to Aji.
Ah Ji responded: "Okay, I'll wait for Miss Qin."
King Cheng lied to Aji, but Qin Xiangnuan would not do that. Aji was extremely sure of this, but he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Normally, when one stays alone for a long time, the passage of time would be very slow for him, not to mention that he had to spend this time with anticipation. Aji only felt that the time was endless.
Fortunately, when Aji was about to give up, Qin Xiangnuan appeared.
At this moment, in Aji's eyes, Qin Xiangnuan was like a fairy.
"Can't you stand up?" Qin Xiangnuan came in and waved to Aji, but the other party didn't move at all. Qin Xiangnuan walked forward a few steps and asked.
Aji immediately shook his head, "Sure, sure."
Qin Xiangnuan lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand for Aji to use as leverage. When Aji saw this, he couldn't wait to grab it.
"Remember not to move later, and be sure to wait for me here." Qin Xiangnuan supported Aji and did not forget to remind him.
Aji nodded vigorously. He would seriously follow what Qin Xiangnuan said and would definitely wait for Qin Xiangnuan to come and rescue him.
Qin Xiangnuan then put Aji in a hidden spot she had found. It was very close to the door, and there was a horse left in front to make it easier for Aji to escape.
After making sure that Aji would not be discovered by anyone, Qin Xiangnuan returned to the place where Aji came out.
Then, a huge fire started from there. The fire was extremely fierce, and soon thick fog rose into the sky, breaking the silence of the camp.
The people around rushed here in a hurry. Qin Xiangnuan shouted a few words loudly in a place where no one could see, and asked the soldiers guarding the door to move away a few steps.
At this moment, Qin Xiangnuan asked Aji to quickly get on the horse and threw stones at the horse. Then, the horse carrying Aji rushed out of the defense at the door quickly.
"Go chase him!" They didn't even see who was on the horse, but they instinctively wanted to chase him.
But the horse was already far away from them, and it was very likely that they could not catch up.
When the people patrolling around found Aji, they wanted to chase him, but it was obvious that the fire in the back needed more people, so they naturally did not chase him.
Now that Aji is gone, Qin Xiangnuan's departure will be much easier.
The bumps on the horse's back made Aji feel a little pain, but he was more panicked at this time. When he found that Qin Xiangnuan did not come out, he wanted to stop the horse.
However, he remembered Qin Xiangnuan's instructions before getting on the horse: no matter what happened, he must not get off the horse, otherwise he would be caught and all Qin Xiangnuan's efforts would be in vain.
So, when Aji looked back and saw someone trying to catch up, he didn't dare to rein in the horse's neck at all, and even slapped the horse's back, trying to make it go faster.
It was indeed very fast. Aji soon lost sight of the people behind him, and then he and the horse slowly stopped.
Aji was worried about Qin Xiangnuan, but he didn't dare to look back. If he really held Qin Xiangnuan back, he would never be able to forgive himself.
Fortunately, Qin Xiangnuan never lets Aji down.
Qin Xiangnuan walked over and appeared in Aji's sight. Aji clearly felt the vibration in his chest.
However, Aji understood the huge difference between him and Qin Xiangnuan, and was also clear about his own status and position, and knew that nothing could compare to Jiang Lin.
Poor Aji, he just realized his feelings for Qin Xiangnuan and knew it was impossible.
"Are you okay?" Qin Xiangnuan asked the dazed Aji.
Aji still had many injuries on his body, and they must have been aggravated after this bumpy ride.
Listening to Qin Xiangnuan's concern, Aji nodded shyly, "Miss Qin, I'm fine. Are you hurt?"
"No." Qin Xiangnuan said, "Everything is going well, let's go back."
Qin Xiangnuan was about to lead the horse away as she spoke, and Aji was so scared that he immediately turned over and got off.
"You just stay on top. The carriage is parked in front and we will be there soon." Qin Xiangnuan stopped Aji's actions and said as they walked.
But how could Aji feel at ease letting Qin Xiangnuan lead his horse? He said to Qin Xiangnuan in a panic: "Miss Qin, you absolutely can't do this. I... I..."
Hearing Aji's anxious stuttering voice, Qin Xiangnuan didn't make things difficult for him.
"Then you go by yourself, I'll go ahead first." Qin Xiangnuan let go of the lead rope.
Only then did Aji nod.
Qin Xiangnuan left with a smile. She didn't care about these little things at all. What Qin Xiangnuan cared about more was people.
Nothing is more worthy of her attention than a person. The reason why Qin Xiangnuan wants to bring Aji out is because she wants to be responsible for the lives of others.
Qin Xiangnuan has the ability and is determined to take on these things.
The same is true for Jiang Lin, Qin Xiangnuan understands it, and this is also one of the things Qin Xiangnuan appreciates about Jiang Lin.
After getting on the carriage, Aji let down all his guard and fell into a deep sleep. When Qin Xiangnuan stopped the carriage, Aji still hadn't woken up.
"Don't rush to wake him up. After he wakes up, find a doctor to bandage him." Qin Xiangnuan handed the carriage to the soldier and said to him.
"Okay." The soldier responded.
It happened that Liu Qingfei was in the stable at that time. When he saw someone leading the carriage in, he took it.
The other party said in an envious tone: "This person is really lucky. He was picked up by you by accident and Miss Qin took care of him like this."
Liu Qingfei instantly realized who the other person was talking about. He grabbed his shoulders and asked, "Have you seen Aji? Where is he?"
The soldier frowned and slapped his hand away, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, "Isn't it in the carriage? And you, why are you so protective of this Aji?"
