Chapter 36 (1/2)
Chiyun Yuexuan felt the dagger from his arms and rode the lightning to the direction of the inn. Murong Zhining shouted after him: ”be careful, pay attention to safety.”
Murong Zhining looks at the direction of the distant Inn, listening to the noise of people and horses, she feels uneasy.
In a moment, the inn was ablaze. The burning fire flushed the sky for half a day, and the sound of fighting came, accompanied by the long sound of lightning. Murong Zhining holds her shoulder and shrinks into a group in fear. The sound of fighting lasted for a long time. After half a column of incense was quiet, Murong Zhining heard the sound of more than a dozen horses leaving, and the peace was restored around her. Murong Zhining sat alone in the field and spent a long and fearful night.
Until dawn, chiyun Yuexuan never came back. Murong Zhining stood up and walked towards the inn. She wanted to see what happened?
The inn was burned to ruins, and the ruins were everywhere. There were several bodies of people in black at the scene, and the second shopkeeper was also killed on the spot. There was a dead silence at the scene, no one was alive at all, and no one could tell Murong Zhining what happened last night.
The lightning whines and runs to Murong Zhining. Murong Zhining pleasantly touches the head of the lightning and asks, ”how about chiyun generals?” The lightning only made a low hissing sound, and kept scratching the earth with its feet, as if telling Murong Zhining that its owner would never come back.
Murong Zhining feet a soft, fell on the ground, her mind a blank. She didn't want to think about the whereabouts of chiyunyuexuan, but lied to herself in her heart: chiyunyuexuan may have something urgent to go back to Huayan, too late to say goodbye to her.
Murong Zhining after a struggle, she stood up to wipe away tears, led lightning slowly to the official road, she decided to return to Nanjin alone. The lightning body is too tall, without the help of chiyun Yuexuan, Murong Zhining can't ride at all. She was reluctant to leave the lightning, and led it slowly on the official road, all the way to South brocade. At night she would walk into the field by the road with lightning and find a place to rest. Lightning always eats grass not far away from her. From time to time, she paws a few feet impatiently. Murong Zhining has a hot eye. She knows that lightning is missing its owner.
Murong Zhining drives in the daytime and rests in the field at night. She firmly told herself that she must go back to her father and mother, and understand this series of things.
Murong Zhining was very weak when she went to the third day on the official road. She was staggering along the reins, deep and shallow. She didn't eat well for a few days. Her feet were floating so much that she took the lightning hand loose and fell on the side of the road. The lightning whined uneasily around her, and the hot breath went straight to her face.
On the official road behind, a team of people and horses appeared far away. Murong Zhining wants to stand up in panic and escape to the field, but she has no strength to get up. She said sadly to the lightning, ”run away, don't follow me.” Lightning excitedly claws the ground with its hoof, but does not leave. Murong Zhining gradually loses consciousness.
Murong Zhining feels a cold on her face. She suddenly wakes up. In front of her eyes is Tuoba Blue's worried eyes. Tuoba's deep voice echoed in her ears: ”Miss Murong, you finally wake up.” Tuoba LAN wipes Murong Zhining's face with a piece of wet cloth: ”sister Murong, how can you fall on the road alone? What about general chiyun? ” ”Miss Murong is very weak now. Don't ask so many questions. Wait until she is better,” said Tuoba Tuoba blue low ground ”Er”.
Murong Zhining looks around. She lies in Tuoba Zhi's carriage. Tuoba LAN patiently feeds her warm water. Tuoba blue took a long breath of relief: ”fortunately, my sister met us. If we meet bad people, the consequences will be unimaginable. My brother asked someone to cook porridge for you. You can rest and raise your spirits. ”
The carriage was walking slowly. In a short time, someone sent a pot of rice porridge on a fast horse. Murong Zhining slowed down for a while and asked anxiously, ”what about lightning?”
Tuoba blue blew hot porridge with his mouth: ”do you mean the black horse? Here, follow me. ” She lifted the curtain of the carriage with one hand, and the lightning followed it. Murong Zhining is full of sorrow and joy. She knows that she left the lightning to scold yunyuexuan and took her as the master. Murong Zhining silently shed several lines of tears.
Tuoba LAN can vaguely guess Murong Zhining's situation. She feeds Murong Zhining millet porridge and comforts her: ”general chiyun has his own natural appearance. It will be OK. My sister will take good care of herself.”
In the evening, the motorcade stopped in front of a big inn where the wine flag was displayed. Tuoba came to take Murong Zhining out of the carriage and Murong Zhining blushed: ”I I can do it myself. Princess Tuoba will give me a hand. ” Tuoba blue pushed her: ”let your brother hold you, you are too weak.” Tuoba Zhi holds Murong Zhining horizontally in his hand, carries her into the room upstairs of the inn, and carefully places her on the bed.
Murong Zhining looked at Tuoba gratefully and said, ”thank you very much for your help. It's going to cause trouble for Tuoba again this time.” Tuoba looked back at her gently: ”Miss Murong is very kind. It's my blessing to take care of Miss Murong. I will send her to Nanjin safely, and miss Murong will follow us.”
Murong Zhining asked in a low voice, ”how long does it take to get to Nanjin here?” Tuoba Zhi's eyes never moved away from Murong Zhining: ”at the current speed, it will take about half a month. Miss Murong is not fit to walk too fast because she is weak. If Miss Murong needs to bring a letter to her family to report her safety, I can send an express horse to take it for you. ”Murong Zhining said softly: ”no, I'm afraid to disturb Tuoba for too long.” Tuoba smiled sincerely: ”I said it's my blessing to take care of Miss Murong. If Miss Murong trusts me, she can tell me the truth. If she doesn't want to, I won't ask. ” Murong Zhining looked at him apologetically. ”When I got to Nanjin, I told you about it again.” Tuoba gave a graceful smile: ”OK.”
Tuoba blue sneaks into the room and pats Tuoba Zhi on the shoulder. Tuoba Zhi's eyes rush from Murong Zhining to her: ”Lan'er, you are naughty again. If your future husband is not brave enough, he may not live long. ” Murong Zhining covers her mouth and smiles.
