Empress’ Conquest - C272 hyperpyrexia
Inside the house, Shui Ruo Han heard the noise outside and could not help but push open the door. She saw the background of Jian Chen’s group flash past!
“Proud Sky …” Something happened? ” Shui Ruo Han’s heart tightened, was it the same person from last night?
“Bi Xuan, she …”
“Something happened to Bi Meng?” Shui Ruo’s pupils suddenly constricted as she took two quick steps towards Xu Bixuan’s door. Her gaze swept across the entire room, but she could not find Xu Bixuan’s figure!
“None… “She just left behind this word to borrow Chu’s army …” Leng Ao Tian’s voice contained a hint of bitterness. He knew that Bi Xuan had chosen him and wanted to betray Murong Che, but today she had gone to Chu for him. How could she endure this!
“Borrowing troops?! “It shouldn’t be possible …” Shui Ruo Han snatched the letter from Leng Ao Tian’s hand. It was indeed Xu Bi Xuan’s handwriting, and there was some doubt in her heart. Two days ago, Xu Bi Xuan had stopped her, saying that she wouldn’t let him borrow any troops from Da Chu even if she died. These few days, nothing special seemed to have happened, so why did she suddenly change her mind? Confusion!
“Is there a problem?” Seeing the cold expression on Shui Ruo Han’s face, Leng Ao Tian asked worriedly.
“Ugh …” No… “No …” Shui Ruo Han passed the letter to Leng Ao Tian, her heart was filled with doubts and doubts. Was Bi Xuan really going to borrow troops from Da Chu? Although it was reasonable that Murong Che would only give Xu Bixuan face, in terms of time, Bi Xuan’s trip would take at least half a month. By then, all the battles would be over, and Bi Xuan should be well aware of this!
The more Shui Ruo Han thought about it, the more confused she became. She couldn’t help but shake her head and walk back to her room …
The sky was blue, clouds were floating, a light breeze was blowing, the willow branches were swaying in the wind, the scenery was very pleasant.
The originally tranquil road suddenly resounded with the sound of hooves kicking against the ground. In the blink of an eye, a handsome horse galloped by, its branches swaying wildly!
Since leaving Dingzhou last night, it had been almost a day and a half. Xu Bixuan hadn’t shed a single drop of water, and her mind was filled with thoughts of how Senior Servant Feng and Little An had been tormented by Li Ao Yu until they wished they could die! At this time, when no one was chasing after her, Xu Bixuan couldn’t help but calm down. It seemed that the words she had left must have worked. Even if Leng Ao Tian wanted to chase after her, he would only know how to head south … I’m sorry Ao Tian, I can’t leave Senior Feng and Little An alone. I know that if I don’t go, with Li Ao Yu’s character, they will definitely die! But don’t worry… I will never let Li Ao Yu threaten you … Never …
There was a teahouse in the distance. Xu Bixuan thought for a long time that even if a person did not rest, he would have to let the horse eat some fodder, so when they reached the teahouse, Xu Bixuan tightened the reins and pulled the horse towards the teahouse!
“Please come in!” The waiter with the white cloth over his shoulder ran outside quickly and welcomed them with a smile!
“Mm. Waiter, add some ingredients to my horse, it’ll be good for you. I’m in a hurry!” Xu Bixuan nodded slightly, then passed the horse to the waiter and slowly entered the teahouse!
Although the teahouse was small, it was still extremely clean. Xu Bixuan casually sat at the left side of the table, ordered a bowl of wine, then picked up her teacup and took a sip, her sweet aroma wafting through the air. She never thought that there would be such a good tea in this small teahouse.
“Tsk tsk. I’ve never seen such beauty in my life! ” The deep voice contained a trace of surprise!
“You mean that I am on the same level as Third Mother, so it won’t enter your eyes?!” Lian Ling shot a fierce glance at Ling Jun before turning to look at Xu Bixuan. She could not help but inwardly marvel at her beauty. It was indeed difficult for her to be infatuated with Ling Jun. Even she herself was reluctant to look at her!
“How could that be!?” I meant to say that your beauty is different from hers. You are a hero! Naturally, she lacked the heroic spirit of a child from the martial arts world! You can tell it from the way you drink tea! ” Ling Jun wanted to explain, but it made Lian Ling even angrier!
Lian Ling couldn’t help but lower her eyes. One foot on the stool, one hand on the waist, tea will make a gurgling sound! Looking at Xu Bixuan’s gentle and refined look, a taste of skit! It was indeed very different!
“Ling Jun! I said you’re really looking for trouble, aren’t you? If you want to fight, just say it! I, Lian Ling, have plenty of time to accompany you! ” Lian Ling’s self-esteem suffered a heavy blow and his violent temper surged as he glared at Ling Jun!
“It’s just a joke, there’s no need to rush! “Third Mother!” Ling Jun looked at Du Sanniang for help. It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat Lian Ling, it was just that there was a saying in the martial arts world: a good man doesn’t fight with women!
“Alright, Lian Ling!” We have serious business to attend to this time! ” Du Sanniang noticed Xu Bixuan as soon as she entered the room. Such an outstanding looking woman was on her way alone. If she had decent martial arts skills, then she would be in danger.
“Sanniang!” You have a good temper! You can endure this! No wonder even after chasing Xuan Xiao for three years, you still haven’t seen him! If it were me, I would have tied him up and carried him anywhere! ” Lian Ling muttered!
“You have no shame!” Are you sure you can beat the Immortal Sword? Ling Jun replied respectfully.
They were not far away, so Xu Bixuan naturally heard their conversation clearly. What they had said before no longer mattered to her anymore, but upon hearing the last sentence, Xu Bixuan could not help but turn to look at the woman called San Niang.
She was dressed in white, her black hair fluttering in the wind like butterflies, her eyebrows were lightly swept, her face was not covered with makeup, but still, she could not hide her peerless beauty. Her neck was covered in a crystal necklace, which made her look even colder, revealing snow-white skin through her jade-like fingers, and her expression was as indifferent as a fairy!
The two girls looked at each other, smiling slightly. Xu Bixuan turned her head, thinking that if Senior Brother could have this woman as his wife, it would be a blessing in disguise. As for the rules of Mount Yufeng … People naturally changed when they were set. Senior brother had done so many things for her. If she had the chance, she really hoped that someone would take good care of her senior brother.
“Alright, stop talking. Come and drink some tea. We’ll set out later!” Du Sanniang’s face turned slightly red and a dim light flashed in her eyes. Xuan Xiao didn’t like it, so he had a reason to dislike it …
At this moment, the waiter suddenly rushed in, charging straight towards Xu Bixuan!
“Lady! Not good, your horse just ate the grass and the horses on the side started to bite. Here … I was so scared that I couldn’t pull it back no matter how hard I tried! ” The waiter’s face turned pale. This was only a small business. If the customer asked for a horse compensation, then he would have wasted this whole year!
Hearing this, Xu Bixuan stood up and rushed out of the teahouse!
Just as expected, just as Xu Bixuan was about to leave, her horse had already galloped far away. It was impossible to chase after it!
“This… What should he do! Waiter… Is there any place nearby that sells horses? ” How could they have reached the capital without a horse within three days?
“None… Yes… “No …” The waiter became flustered and incoherent!
“Do you or do you not!”
“Yes …” There’s a market five miles south of here, and occasionally there are horse sellers there … ” The waiter spoke timidly!
Wasn’t this the same as not mentioning it!? Xu Bixuan frowned. Even if she didn’t say that she wouldn’t turn back, even if she did, there might not be people selling horses. How could she afford to delay such a long time!
“Then how long will it take to go north?” Xu Bixuan suppressed the anxiety in her heart and asked softly!
“We need to travel twenty li before we arrive at the next town …” The waiter’s heart was full of guilt, he didn’t dare look at Xu Bixuan!
“Take it …” Xu Bixuan looked at the time. She had no other choice. Other than walking forward, she couldn’t think of a better solution!
“Customer… “You …”
“Tea money!” Xu Bixuan stuffed the money into the waiter’s hands, turned around, and left the teahouse with her bag and bag, heading straight for the capital!
“Waiter, check out!” When Du Sanniang heard it clearly from inside the house, she couldn’t help feeling anxious for the girl just now …
“Not yet! “What’s the rush?!” Lian Ling looked at Du Sanniang with a puzzled expression. However, Ling Jun had already stood up to pack her bags …
“If you haven’t had enough, you might as well put on another show! That’s right! “Third Mother!” Ling Jun pushed Qian Jin, who was engrossed in drinking his tea, into silence for a long time!
“We only have four horses …” Qian Zhu didn’t say much, but every word he said was being chopped off! Seeing how anxious Feng Lingjun was, Qian Zhu knew what he wanted to do!
“I know!” It’s none of your business! ” Being exposed, Ling Jun was naturally embarrassed. He turned around and jumped out of the teahouse. Du Sanniang, Lian Ling, and Qian Zhu followed closely behind him!
The four of them tightened the reins of their horses and jumped onto their horses …
“It depends on that girl’s luck!” Sanniang gently pinched the horse’s belly and headed in the direction she had planned. Ling Jun and the others followed!
Sure enough, just as he turned the corner, he saw Xu Bixuan. From her previous anxiety, she had only come this far. Du Sanniang pondered over the fact that this woman might have a lightness skill, but it was only mediocre.
Thinking of this, Du Sanniang tightened her reins and slowed down her speed …
Feeling the sound of horse hooves coming from behind her, Xu Bixuan subconsciously looked back.
“Miss, where are you going?” When they were almost in front of Xu Bixuan, Du Sanniang tightened the reins of her horse. Her cherry lips slightly parted as she smiled at Xu Bixuan!
“It’s you …” “To the capital!” Xu Bixuan had an inexplicable favorable impression of Du Sanniang. Perhaps it was because of her close relationship with Xuan Xiao!
“Along the way!” We can bring you along! ” Du Sanniang gave a faint smile and was about to give way on the horse’s back when Ling Jun snatched her away!
Ling Jun then dismounted from his horse, and hurriedly walked over to Xu Bixuan’s side!
“Girl, I’m sorry, I just saw it. It was my horse that bit your horse away! “Come, you get on my horse!” Without another word, Ling Jun handed his horse over to Xu Bixuan!
Xu Bixuan had naturally declined, but it was nothing compared to Ling Jun’s enthusiasm!
“You can just ride! Someone’s Qing Gong is really good! You don’t even have to run for a day or two to not even breathe! ” Lian Ling glanced at Ling Jun. A toad wanting to eat the meat of a swan? You don’t even know what you’re talking about!
“Exactly! Get on the horse! Time is limited, we are also rushing to the capital! ” At this critical moment, Ling Jun did not have the time to bicker with Lian Ling!
“This …” Xu Bixuan could not help but look at Du Sanniang. Seeing her faint smile while clenching her hands, she no longer refused!
“Master! You should come up too… “It’s too embarrassing for you to let Bi Xuan run on the ground …” Xu Bixuan had believed in Du Sanniang for no reason, so she naturally believed in the few people who were with her!
“What’s good about it …” Ling Jun’s face suddenly turned red as he embarrassedly opened his mouth …
“What’s so bad about it?” What’s so bad about it? I say, Ling Jun, stop dawdling! “Since the girl wants you to mount, then don’t put on an act!” Lian Ling scoffed!
“Then… “Then I apologize …” Ling Jun took advantage of the situation and immediately jumped onto the horse to sit in front of Xu Bixuan!
Lady! It was done! “Hold onto me tightly …” Ling Jun pursed his lips, holding the reins in his hands. His legs clamped down hard on the horse’s belly. The horse was in pain, and he charged straight ahead!
“Just this little trick! “Humph!” Lian Ling disdainfully opened her mouth!
“Alright, we still have important matters to attend to!” Let’s go! No matter what, we must save Mother Feng and Little An, or else we won’t be able to explain ourselves to Luo Jinye! ” Du Sanniang then left with the horse. Lian Ling shrugged and followed closely behind Qian Zhu …
General Mansion of Danzhou
Chu Jian and the others had already chased after them for an entire day, but there was still no news. In the hall, Leng Ao Tian and Shui Ruo Han walked around from time to time. Yin Yuerong carefully looked at the words Xu Bi Xuan had left behind, feeling that something was not right. Was she afraid that Murong Che would make an unreasonable request? Impossible, with her understanding of Murong Che, he definitely wasn’t someone who would take advantage of someone else! Then what exactly did Bi Xuan’s words mean?
At that moment, Zheng Kui suddenly rushed into the front hall.
