Li Qingyang, Princess Chang'an's legitimate son, Prince Honghui!
How come he is here and working as a rickshaw driver?
Si Jinxing lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him any longer, for fear that the cold-faced man would notice something.
At this time, they were near a forest three miles outside Wuning City, which was relatively sheltered from the wind.
Li Qingyang picked up some dry branches from the ground and lit a bonfire.
He skewered the cooled buns with a branch, heated them up, and handed them to the cold-faced man, saying:
"Boss, here, eat it while it's hot."
The cold-faced man stared at the driver for a moment before reaching out to take the bun and speaking indifferently:
"Even lighting a fire is so clumsy.
His hands don't look like they've been used to do rough work.
Who are you anyway?
His words made Si Jinxing feel a chill in her heart.
This cold-faced man is very fierce. How can a young man from a noble family like Li Qingyang deal with him?
Just as she was about to say something to change the subject, Li Qingyang beside her added firewood and said with a helpless smile:
“The boss really has a good eye.
My family used to be in business, and I have been pampered since I was a child.
Unfortunately, last year my cousin got into trouble and our family’s property was confiscated.
Now I am the only laborer in the family, so I have to learn to earn some money to supplement the family income.
I don’t know if I can go back to my old life in this life, alas…”
The dancing light of the bonfire added a bit of melancholy and sadness to Li Qingyang's eyes.
It seemed as if he had really experienced the ups and downs he described.
Seeing that the cold-faced man was still staring at Li Qingyang, Si Jinxing moved a little and said:
"My dear brother, you know that when you are cold, you can warm yourself by the fire and eat some hot buns.
I'm really unable to move around like this, could you please untie me?
Even if you can tie it up again later, it’s fine!”
Li Qingyang was tactful enough to keep quiet and continue roasting the buns with the branches.
He looked like he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
The cold-faced man finally moved his gaze away from Li Qingyang, but didn't even look at Si Jinxing.
He just straightened his cloak and said:
"Noisy."
His cold expression revealed endless chill, making people feel that it was even colder than the biting wind outside Wuning City!
That night, Si Jinxing was sleeping in the middle of the night when he suddenly heard a slight creaking sound from the carriage.
She was immediately awakened, and in the dim light of the fire, she could tell that the person who opened the car door and stuck his head in was Li Qingyang.
Before she could speak, Li Qingyang pointed outside and whispered:
"Princess, sit down!"
Si Jinxing immediately understood what he meant and was about to stop him!
But then he heard Li Qingyang in front of him whipping his horse whip and whispering, "Go!"
That person was able to deceive Qingchan and kidnap her from the tent. How could he be easily provoked?
The horse neighed and leaped high with its front hooves. The carriage suddenly lurched forward, but then suddenly stopped in place!
Si Jinxing, who had been bumped on the head by the car, hadn't reacted when she heard a cold voice coming from outside the carriage:
"Why, where are you two going?
Why don’t you take me with you?”
Then, Li Qingyang was a little shocked, and his voice stuttered slightly:
"You, you're not...already...how..."
The cold-faced man kicked Li Qingyang off the carriage and asked in a cold voice:
"Are you trying to explain why I didn't fall asleep after eating the buns you poisoned?
With just these tricks, you still want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?
I guess you are Qi Moli's man?
Then today is the day you die!"
As he spoke, he walked up to Li Qingyang!
He kicked Li Qingyang in the stomach and drew the long sword from his waist...
The cold metal collision sound of the long sword became even more creepy in the dark night!
At this moment, Si Jinxing kicked the door open and shouted:
"Wait a minute!
He is the legitimate son of Princess Chang'an. If you keep him, he will definitely be useful to you!"
These words successfully made the cold-faced man move the sword that was against Li Qingyang's neck away.
But the next moment when Si Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, the long sword in the man's hand pierced deeply into Li Qingyang's thigh!
Sharp screams resounded throughout the entire Wuning Prefecture city gate!
Li Qingyang had his hands tied and thrown into the carriage.
Si Jinxing really wanted to help Li Qingyang check his injuries, she could already smell a strong smell of blood!
I'm afraid the wound is quite big!
That cold-faced man who was like an iceberg was simply a madman!
In the dim light, she looked at Li Qingyang, who was sweating profusely from the pain, and said:
"Prince Honghui, it's because of me that you got hurt so badly.
Why are you here? "
Li Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and watched the county lady struggling to hook the medicine box to her side with her feet.
He grinned and said:
"I have joined the army, and this time I am accompanying General Lan to transport food and fodder.
That day, I saw a carriage coming towards me on the street. When the window curtains flickered, I saw that the person sleeping inside looked very much like the county princess.
I didn't have time to go back to the barracks to confirm, so I quickly caught up with him.
Later, I accidentally lost him and only caught up with him in Pingchang Prefecture ahead."
Li Qingyang finished speaking these words intermittently, and finally did not forget to comfort:
"Don't be afraid, County Master.
The prince must be looking for you by now, and I will do my best to take good care of you."
When Si Jinxing heard this, she felt her eyes sore.
Having someone slightly familiar around her at this time gave her some peace of mind.
However, this means there is one more hostage in the hands of that cold-hearted man!
I don't know if it will have any impact on the battle situation...
Si Jinxing looked at Li Qingyang and couldn't help but recall the time when this man blocked her carriage on the street for his beloved.
She pointed at the medicine box and said:
"When you feel better, find a way to open the box.
There are excellent debridement and wound medicine inside. Your leg was injured by me, so it must be in good condition."
Li Qingyang blushed and agreed.
It was the first time for him to share a carriage with a woman.
Si Jinxing tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep until dawn.
Li Qingyang fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.
It was just his flushed cheeks and chapped lips that made Si Jinxing immediately realize that Li Qingyang had a fever!
She quickly kicked the door of the carriage and shouted:
"Hey! Come here quickly! His wound is inflamed and he has a high fever! Get him some medicine!"
The stern-faced man sitting on the shaft of the carriage said coldly upon hearing this:
"He asked for it. The county lady is truly a compassionate doctor!"
But have you ever thought that those soldiers you saved killed so many of our Hanlan warriors?
"I, the Hanlan Warrior, am not a life in the eyes of the county lady?"
