Ye Qingwan made up her mind to leave tonight, so she found Qingqing.

As a result, Ning Shaoqing was almost scared to death: "Sister, you want me to knock Xingmu out?"

"Shhhhh." Ye Qingwan quickly covered his mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. Do you want me to give you a loud speaker so you can shout outside?"

You are afraid that Xingmu doesn’t know, right?

I'm afraid you are an undercover agent sent by Xingmu.

"Why don't you find someone else, but you?" Ye Qingwan began to deceive people: "Because in my eyes, you are the most powerful, young and promising, with extraordinary martial arts skills."

"Yes, I am young. If I die in Xingmu's hands tonight, I will always be young."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Not really, not really. At most you will be beaten up by him. Can he really kill you?

"Besides, you are so good at Qinggong. If Xingmu starts to attack you, you can just run away. He can't catch up with you anyway."

Ye Qingwan pulled his sleeves, swinging them back and forth, begging him: "Go, please go, okay?"

Ning Shaoqing: ...

But on second thought, it seems to make sense.

It’s true that I can’t beat Xingmu, but it’s also true that Xingmu can’t run faster than me.

Why am I afraid?

Yes, don’t be timid.

But suddenly I realized something was wrong: "Why do we have to do it? Why not use drugs?"

Is it that the drug doesn’t work?

Or fell out of favor?

Ye Qingwan was stunned. Yes, how could she forget that he was a flower thief? Putting people under the influence of drugs was his specialty.

"Okay, I'll drug you."

So the two of them made the decision happily.

He did it right away. After nightfall, he sneaked to the outside of Xingmu's tent, inserted a bamboo stick into it, and blew several gusts of sleeping pills into it.

Then the two of them stared at Xingmu's reaction, waiting for Xingmu to be knocked down.

After a while, Xingmu's body suddenly collapsed and finally lay on the ground, motionless.

"Fallen?" Ye Qingwan asked him.

Section 123

Ning Shaoqing took a glance and said, "It should be here."

"Let's go, let's go." Ye Qingwan pushed Ning Shaoqing, and the two of them sneaked into Xingmu's tent, lifted him up, and struggled to get him to **.

"Wow, it's so heavy. Did he eat a lamb tonight?" Ye Qingwan rubbed his sore arm.

She helped him take off his shoes, covered him with a quilt, and placed the sword that he always carried with him next to his hand. She clasped her hands together and said apologetically.

"Young Master Xingmu, please be magnanimous and don't bother with us kids. We just had no choice."

Ning Shaoqing poked her head lightly with his finger: "Coward."

Just as he spoke, Xingmu suddenly snorted, and frightened him so much that he instantly jumped three meters away. Ye Qingwan was also frightened and immediately shrank behind the bed.

On the contrary, he might have just hummed in his sleep, and then he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so scary.

But he still reached out his hand to pull Qingqing out with some fear. Ning Shaoqing was also very scared, but he still reached out and grabbed her and pulled her out.

It’s not advisable to stay here for long, let’s go.

The two of them huddled together, as if this was the only way they could find a little sense of security.

After sneaking back to the tent and pulling the carriage that had been prepared long ago to the grassland far behind, Ye Qingwan pushed Ning Shaoqing and said, "Go and call Qingqing."

Then he ran to call the old tutor.

Liu Sheng found her sneaky look a little funny: "Leaving tonight?"

Ye Qingwan nodded quickly: "It will be too late if we don't leave now."

Liu Sheng got out of bed and put on his shoes and socks. After these days of rest, his injuries were mostly healed.

When they went out, Ning Shaoqing was already waiting in the carriage with Ning Qingqing. When everyone was there, they immediately drove the carriage away.

But they had not walked far when they suddenly heard the noisy sound of horse hooves from behind. Looking back, they saw many flickering flames in the dark night sky.

Are they chasing us?

This was discovered?

Damn it, they were discovered so quickly, there’s no way they can escape.

When Ning Shaoqing found out that there were pursuers, he immediately whipped his horse whip and drove the carriage as fast as possible. He also changed the route and decided not to go back to the northern border, but to find a place to hide first.

This side is grassland, flat and vast, but further ahead is a canyon with forks in the road everywhere, with twists and turns. Once they get in, it will be difficult for them to catch up with them.

Once they have shaken off the pursuers, they can find a way to return to the northern border.

But just as they reached the entrance of the canyon, torches suddenly lit up on both sides, and a dozen cavalrymen were blocking the center of the canyon.

As soon as Ning Shaoqing spotted the person, he immediately stopped the carriage.

The one blocking the road was none other than the Great Khan Tuoba Xiong.

Ning Shaoqing drew his sword, and Qingqing also took out a dagger and threw it to Ye Qingwan: "Take it, stay inside and don't come out. If someone rushes in, you can chop him."

After saying that, he walked out of the carriage and stood back to back with Ning Shaoqing, staring at the grassland people who surrounded them with a fierce look.

As a result, Tuoba Xiong just glanced at them, suddenly pulled the reins, and rode his horse leisurely past their carriage.

He didn't even look at them from the side, not even a glance at them from beginning to end.

Ning Shaoqing: ...

Ning Qingqing: ...

Is he... blind?!

When he passed by the carriage, he happened to meet Liu Sheng's eyes as he pulled aside the curtain to check the situation. He actually stopped and said, "Khan, I hope I will never see you again."

Liu Sheng just smiled: "As you wish."

After saying that, the two of them immediately returned to an expression we had never seen before, and passed each other indifferently, as if the communication just now did not exist at all.

Tuoba Xiong and his men ran in the opposite direction of them and soon met the pursuers.

"Greetings to the Great Khan."

"There's nothing over there. Search the left and right sides separately." Tuoba Xiong commanded the grassland cavalry to chase to the left and right, directly avoiding the direction of Ye Qingwan and the others' escape, and chasing them further and further away.

Ye Qingwan and his companions entered the canyon, found a small path to stop, and waited until daybreak to continue their journey.

In this kind of small canyon with so many twists and turns, you really don’t dare to go too deep, otherwise you will be stuck in a matter of minutes.

"Did Tuoba Xiong let us go on purpose?" Ning Qingqing didn't understand. Wasn't he the Great Khan of the grassland?

He even asked her father for help just to marry Wanwan. What is he doing now?

Ning Shaoqing sat on the top of the canyon, half lying down to keep watch: "You can choose between him being blind or letting us go on purpose."

Ning Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "But why would he let us go?"

"Because he's a good man." Liu Sheng replied casually.

He had long seen that Tuoba Xiong was not an ambitious person. He enjoyed the harmonious life with his family more. The ambitious one from beginning to end was his mother, Queen Dowager Xiao Ning.

Tuoba Xiong was a filial son. He did not want to upset his mother, nor did he want to get involved in national hatred or family feuds. He just wanted to lead the people of the grassland to live a prosperous life without war.

Unfortunately, his mother kept pushing him forward, so his face always showed his entanglement, embarrassment, and helplessness.
