Ye Xichen muttered and then asked Zhou Yiyi in a low voice, "Are you scared? There's an ambush ahead. Maybe we'll become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."
Zhou Yiyi used his elbow to push back hard against Ye Xichen's chest.
"Bah, shut up! I'm still waiting to go into Qicheng and eat some date cakes."
Ye Xichen raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Did you hear that? The princess is in a hurry to go to Qicheng to eat date cakes.
The reward for breaking through the siege within one incense stick is ten taels.
The highest reward for the thief's head is 100 taels."
As soon as Ye Xichen finished speaking, the guards around him rushed out.
Each one of them is as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
These close guards who often follow Ye Xichen are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also have rich experience in fighting against enemies.
They had long been accustomed to Ye Xichen's unconventional way of rewarding.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
In order to get the bounty, these guards risked their lives, launched roundabout attacks, and made feints to the east while making a move in the west. In short, they used all kinds of methods.
Zhou Yi was not afraid at all, but watched with great interest.
Occasionally, he would comment on it with Ye Xichen.
Ye Xichen didn't expect that this little girl was so brave.
He put his arm around Zhou Yiyi's waist and rode forward leisurely on his horse, as if the constant sounds of fighting coming from all around were welcoming them.
Sure enough, in less than an incense stick of time, all the people who tried to intercept them were killed by Ye Xichen's guards.
But there were no casualties on his side.
Ye Xichen was very satisfied with the result.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the forest, carrying with it the smell of blood, which made Zhou Yiyi unable to help but retch.
Ye Xichen patted her back and teased her, "You were so capable just now, why are you scared now? You can't stand the smell of blood."
At this moment, Zhou Yiyi's stomach was churning. She was also very surprised. She had seen many bloodier scenes before, so why was she reacting so strongly now?
The system promptly explained, "Many people have a particularly sensitive sense of smell during early pregnancy. It's possible that you have this condition."
Zhou Yiyi originally thought that she could get pregnant earlier and complete the task earlier, but she didn't expect that there would be so many things to do after getting pregnant.
Whenever he thought that all this was caused by Ye Xichen, he would get angry.
He pushed Ye Xichen back angrily.
The two of them were already on horseback, and Ye Xichen was caught off guard and was pushed by her and staggered.
Ye Xichen also felt like playing and pretended to fall off his horse.
He thought Zhou Yiyi would pull him back on the horse, but he didn't expect Zhou Yiyi to squeeze the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately ran into the woods.
Ye Xichen was afraid that something might happen to Zhou Yiyi, so he grabbed a guard's horse, jumped on it, and chased after him.
The guards left two people to clean up the aftermath, and the others rushed to catch up.
Zhou Yiyi was originally angry with Ye Xichen and wanted to go for a ride in the woods. However, the woods were very strange and he could not get out no matter how hard he tried.
At first, she could still hear Ye Xichen chasing her from behind, but when she turned a corner, there was fog in front of her.
Hearing the sound of Ye Xichen's horse hooves getting closer and closer, Zhou Yiyi rushed into the fog regardless of anything.
Ye Xichen felt his heart tighten when he saw Zhou Yiyi entering the big house.
"Be obedient, stand still."
But even if Zhou Yiyi heard it, he didn't even turn his head and disappeared in the fog in an instant.
Ye Xichen looked up to determine the direction and then headed into the fog. Before entering, he told the guards to wait here and not to go in.
As we walked further in, the fog became thicker.
Zhou Yiyi was getting more and more frightened as she walked, and she couldn't hear Ye Xichen calling out anymore. Finally, she pulled the reins and stopped.
The horse let out a long neigh, raised its front legs, and kept paddling the ground and snorting.
The horse Zhou Yiyi rides is Ye Xichen's exclusive horse.
It is a top-quality Arabian horse.
If Ye Xichen had not introduced Zhou Yiyi to Ma Er before, Zhou Yiyi would have been knocked to the ground by Ma Er long ago.
This BMW is very psychic and stands still without panicking.
Zhou Yiyi hugged the horse's neck and called the system, "Asheng, help me see if Ye Xichen is catching up."
"Don't worry, sir, he'll be right next to you in another 50 meters."
Zhou Yiyi finally felt relieved and stayed where he was.
The thick fog affected Ye Xichen's vision.
But his hearing became more and more sensitive, and he soon caught up with Zhou Yiyi by the neighing of the horse.
Only when I saw Zhou Yi holding the horse's neck and staying in the thick fog did I feel relieved.
Ye Xichen touched his pounding heart and felt very puzzled. He had only known Zhou Yiyi for a month, but he had already fallen for her without even realizing it.
Even if this girl is extremely pretentious, I am willing to spoil her.
"snort!"
When Zhou Yi saw Ye Xichen, not only did he not go to greet him, he also snorted heavily.
"Why are you chasing me? Don't you look down on me? I just can't stand the smell of blood, what's wrong with that?"
Ye Xichen looked at the little girl who was acting unreasonable and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will never say that about us again. We are the bravest.
Please forgive me, Miss Zhou.
I will never dare to do that again!"
Zhou Yiyi frowned in disdain. "What's with your attitude? What do you mean by 'OK, OK, OK'? You were wrong, wrong is wrong, how can you still say 'OK, OK, OK'?"
