Chapter 163 The two of them turned their longing into entanglement, inseparable
He did not carry her in his arms in the carriage, for he was afraid that the small carriage would keep her in fear.
He did not spur his horse to a gallop, but let the horse move forward slowly.
He held the reins tightly with both hands, put them around her waist, and held her in his arms, giving her support and warmth.
The night breeze was cool, and even though the horse was moving very slowly, the wind still made Su Ying shiver slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, finally believing that everything was over. And behind her was the man she had missed so long.
She tilted her head slightly and tried to touch him with her face. It seemed that only the touch of skin could make her feel at ease that all this was not a dream.
After a long silence, her sudden initiative startled him. He tightened the reins, bringing the horse to a halt, then clasped his arms tightly around her in response.
When their lips touched, it seemed as if they were expressing their unspoken lovesickness to each other. Perhaps it was because they had been apart for too long, and even a gentle touch could not resist the strong longing.
I don't know if she raised her hand first and brushed it back against his face.
It was he who opened his lips first, leaned forward slightly, and probed towards her lips.
In this way, the two of them turned their longing for each other into entanglement, and were inseparable.
I don’t know how much time passed, I just felt dry mouth and a little dizzy. Su Ying finally ran out of strength and leaned back into his arms.
He kissed her face gently as if to comfort her, and whispered softly, "We should go back and report that we are safe. We shouldn't let our grandparents get scared."
Du Heng's gentle reminder made Su Ying feel ashamed: "Then go back quickly!"
He felt her slightly hot cheeks, and the love in his heart was even greater than before. After a low response, he pulled the reins and galloped towards Yandang Academy.
When they arrived at the academy, the gate was already full of carriages and horses. Knowing that her aunt and the others had all returned to the academy, Su Ying's face turned red and she couldn't face anyone.
Du Heng was not panicked. He took her hand and went forward to knock on the door.
The gate opened immediately, and it was Qingquan and the servants of the academy who opened the door together. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them.
"Miss, Master Du, you are finally back!"
The servants of the academy were so happy that they didn't even bother to be polite and hurried to report the news inside the courtyard.
Qingquan happily called out "Miss" and then closed the gate consciously. He deliberately fell a few steps behind and followed the two of them.
Du Heng and Su Ying smiled at each other and continued walking into the courtyard together.
But as they walked, Su Ying realized belatedly that the servant's way of addressing Du Heng was somewhat inappropriate.
"Master Du?"
She stopped and looked sideways at him.
Du Heng just smiled without saying anything, holding Su Ying's hand and continuing forward. Now was not the time to talk, he had too much to tell her, he would find a chance to tell her slowly and in detail.
......
Although Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong were persuaded by Liu Xianling and the others to go back to their rooms to rest, they could not really rest assured. The two elders just did not want to hinder their rescue process.
After hearing the maid's report that everyone had left the academy to rescue people, the two elders sat back in the front hall, as if only by sitting in the hall could they get the news as soon as possible.
I don't know how many hours passed, but it was still dark when I heard a sound in the hazy air. Madam Rong vaguely saw two figures.
"Ruolan?"
One of the slender figures hurriedly swung his sleeves, as if trying to break free from something, while the other tall figure remained motionless.
"Mother!"
The old lady heard her daughter's call and finally saw who was coming. Her daughter had already run to her. Not far away was her husband's student, Liu Xianling, who would come whenever she was told to.
She quickly patted her husband, who had also been waiting for a long time and was already exhausted and confused, and said, "Husband, wake up quickly, Ruolan is back!"
Seeing his teacher and his wife hugging Ruolan who was kneeling in front of them and crying with joy, Liu Xianling sighed with relief.
He and Du Heng and others rushed into the courtyard. Su Ying's scream not only made the sword in Du Heng's hand flash with cold light, but also made his heart stagnate.
When Du Heng kicked the door open and stepped in, he also held another thug hostage with a sword and forced him to tell where the others were being held.
The thug was so frightened that his legs went weak and he stretched out his hands, trembling all over, pointing at the two rooms.
Without time to think, Liu Xianling chopped the nearest room with force, unlocking the door and opening it. Inside were Ruolan's maid Xiu Yu and another maid, leaning against each other in fear.
He said nothing, letting his men behind him take over. He then quickly walked towards the other room, breaking the lock with even more force than before. He felt an unbearable irritation throughout his body. If it wasn't Ruolan behind this door, the emotions he had suppressed for over a decade would burst forth like a blaze, igniting him uncontrollably!
The cold sword tip collided with the rusty lock, sparks flying.
As the padlock fell to the ground, he pushed the door open and felt relieved.
He could no longer restrain the other self hidden in his heart and strode forward.
And the woman who had appeared in his dreams countless times was looking at him in disbelief with frightened eyes.
He eagerly used his sword to loosen the ropes that bound her hands, then painfully pulled the cloth out of her mouth, and then without a word, he carried her out of the house.
His subordinates were all government officials who had served him for many years, so he confidently handed the remaining matters over to them. Furthermore, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yuan Song standing alone not far away.
Unlike Du Heng, he carried Ruolan in his arms and got into the carriage. The servants from the academy Du Heng brought with him did not know martial arts, so they had to wait for orders in the carriage.
After instructing his servants to take the main road back to the academy, he lowered the carriage curtain and once again embraced Ruolan in his arms, as if he had found a treasure long lost, unwilling to let go for a moment.
Rong Ruolan's panic hadn't subsided yet, and she was stunned speechless by Liu Xianling's sudden action. He seemed to have become a different person, a strong and powerful person, domineeringly locking her in his arms, not allowing her to speak or struggle.
"Ying'er,"
Before she finished speaking, Liu Xianling replied, "She has Du Heng."
"And Xiuyu and the others,"
Before she could finish, he immediately replied, "My people are there."
"But why?"
It was hard to tell whether he was impatient or anxious, but Liu Xianling put one arm around Rong Ruolan's waist and the other hand on the back of her head. Without saying a word, he bent down and kissed the lips that had tempted him for so long, so that she would no longer be distracted by thinking of other people's names.
