Chapter 70 Danger approaches step by step
Li Ying was a little annoyed by being held, and Ye Jingchi quickly let go upon hearing this, and pulled Li Ying to check if she was injured anywhere.
"Let me see, are you injured anywhere?"
"I'm fine." Li Ying subconsciously pulled her hand back and gave Ye Jingchi a cold look. With so many people watching, he didn't care about his image.
The soldiers carried the man's body away.
Hua Qingqing came up and pushed Ye Jingchi away, holding Li Ying's hand, and said excitedly: "Yingying, you saved my life, and this life of mine, Hua Qingqing, is yours!"
Li Ying held her forehead with her hand. The Hua sisters were also interesting. Hua Chenyue had said before that her life belonged to her, and now Hua Qingqing also said so, making it seem like she was here to take her life.
"You'd better keep your life and film."
Hua Qingqing put her arm around Li Ying's shoulders and swore, "Yingying, don't worry. From now on in the imperial capital, our Hua family will protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I, Hua Qingqing, will be the first to stand up!"
Ye Jingchi felt a little aggrieved. Second sister-in-law, can you be a little more considerate? What's the point of pestering his wife? He hasn't even been close to his wife yet.
Hua Qingqing naturally saw Ye Jingchi's resentful eyes and rebuked him unhappily: "Ye Jingchi, I'm telling you, Yingying will be protected by my Hua family from now on. If you dare to let her suffer any injustice again, I will never forgive you!"
Ye Jingchi raised his hand: "Second sister-in-law, I can't bear to let Yingying suffer any injustice!"
"Hey, hasn't Yingying suffered enough in the Ye family?" Hua Qingqing didn't give her any face and said directly.
Ye Jingchi was very embarrassed and touched his nose.
Li Ying was indeed wronged in the Ye family. It was his fault. Now that Li Ying has moved out, she will never be wronged again.
"Second Brother, I scared you! Zhou Qi, thank you!"
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "It's my job to protect Miss Ying. No need to thank me!"
Ye Jingchi patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder. This kid was quick to react and very considerate in his actions. He was quite good.
"Junior sister, that person just now knew your name. Do you have a grudge against him?" Shi Bai remembered that the person just now deliberately mentioned Li Ying and Ye Jingchi.
Li Ying shook her head and looked at Ye Jingchi: "I think it should be someone who knows you."
Ye Jingchi shook his head slightly: "I don't know him, but there must be someone behind this person. It's just that he is dead now, so the clues are gone."
In the situation just now, it was impossible for him to leave her alive. Ye Jingchi would never joke about Li Ying's life.
If the clues are lost, just start looking again. These people will not give up.
After completing the mission, Ye Jingchi was allowed to take a few days off. Instead of returning to the imperial capital, he followed Li Ying to the mountains to collect herbs.
"Ye Jingchi, do you really have to follow us up the mountain?"
Li Ying actually didn't want him to follow her.
"Well, I'm free anyway, so I might as well follow you."
Ye Jingchi looked at Li Ying expectantly and reached out to tug at Li Ying's sleeve.
Zhou Qi almost laughed out loud: "Miss Ying, just let Captain Ye go with you!"
Li Ying discovered that Zhou Qi had been speaking for Ye Jingchi everywhere recently.
"Zhou Qi, when were you bribed by him?"
Zhou Qi immediately said, "Miss Ying, you've wronged me. I wasn't bribed. I just really respect Captain Ye!"
Ye Jingchi gave Zhou Qi a grateful smile and held Li Ying's hand: "Just promise me, okay!"
Li Ying knew that if she continued to refuse, it would probably arouse the suspicion of her second senior brother. She didn't want her second senior brother to worry about her affairs, so she nodded in agreement helplessly.
When going up the mountain, Ye Jingchi protected Li Ying and walked in front.
Shi Bai pulled Zhou Qi aside, and after seeing the two people walking away, he asked, "What's going on between Junior Sister and Captain Ye?"
He had eyes and could observe. There was absolutely no love between the junior sister and Ye Jingchi as that of a young couple.
Zhou Qi chuckled and said, "I don't know anything about the couple's affairs."
Zhou Qi is just not good at speaking, he is not a very stupid person. Miss Ying must have a reason for not telling Doctor Shi.
Li Ying stopped and said, "Second Brother, let's go deep into the forest!"
I searched many places on this mountain, but still couldn't find any strong grass. It seemed that I could only go deep into the forest.
"It's very dangerous in the depths, are you sure?" The second senior brother was worried about Li Ying's safety.
"With Captain Ye and Zhou Qi here, I think it's fine."
With Ye Jingchi by her side, Li Ying felt that her second senior brother could go deep into the mountains and forests to look for rare herbs without any worries.
"good."
The second senior brother took out a handful of grass from his backpack and gave it to Zhou Qi and Ye Jingchi.
"This is for fumigating snakes and insects. When they smell this herb, they will automatically avoid it. But wild beasts are an exception. Everyone must be careful!"
Ye Jingchi and Zhou Qi nodded seriously.
If Li Ying wasn't the only one who knew that kind of herb, Ye Jingchi wouldn't have let her go deep into the mountains.
There is no road in the depths, the ground is covered with thick dead branches and leaves, and the smell of decay is everywhere.
Li Ying felt her stomach churning and wanted to vomit, but when she thought of her junior brother's wrist, Li Ying persevered, endured the discomfort in her stomach, and continued to move forward.
"stop!"
Ye Jingchi noticed something was wrong and raised his hand to stop a few people.
The wind was whistling all around. There was already very little sunlight in the deep forest in October. The sudden blowing of wind in the gloomy forest was not a good sign.
Zhou Qi and Shi Bai looked at each other and guessed something.
"Zhou Qi, protect Yingying!" Ye Jingchi ordered.
Zhou Qi protected Li Ying behind him, and Shi Bai also stood in front of Li Ying, making a protective gesture.
Li Ying knew that her silver needles were of no use in the face of a large beast, so she did not try to be brave. She just stood there obediently without moving.
A huge tiger rushed over from the side. Ye Jingchi dodged quickly, took out his pistol, and shot at the tiger's leg.
Although it missed, it angered the tiger and it roared and rushed towards Li Ying and the other two.
Zhou Qi picked up a dry branch nearby and rushed forward, but the branch broke before he could hit him. Go to hell!
Zhou Qi threw away the branch and rushed forward with his bare hands.
Ye Jingchi also rushed forward, and the two of them worked together to deal with the big beast.
Seeing that it could not win the battle, the tiger turned around and ran away.
"If you can't beat it, just run away. It's like a spirit!" Zhou Qi felt strange.
"Let's get out of here!"
Shi Bai felt it was very strange, so he pulled Li Ying and the four of them returned along the same route. In an inconspicuous place, Li Ying saw the strong grass they had been looking for for days.
"Second Brother, I found it!"
Li Ying pointed to an inconspicuous blade of grass among a field of green flowers and plants.
"I'll go pick it!" Zhou Qi said as he was about to step forward.
"Wait a minute!" Shi Bai stopped Zhou Qi and pointed at the grass. "That might be a trap. If you go over there, you'll probably die."
"What should we do then?" Zhou Qi was a little anxious.
Miss Ying has been searching for so many days and finally found it. She can't give up just like that.
"I have a plan!" Ye Jingchi pointed to a large tree nearby and said, "Zhou Qi, hold me on the tree while I go get the herbs!"
