C602 River jump escape (1/2)
Mu Bai stood by the side of the horse and looked at his young master's silhouette. He couldn't help but sigh. This young master had a heroic aura on the battlefield, and was unrestrained. Yet, he was now in such a sorry state.
As he was thinking, Mu Bai seemed to have heard something heading east. He raised his head, and his face revealed a panicked expression. He shouted, ”Second Young Master, look over there! There's a fire!”
Hearing his voice, Xiao He turned his head to take a look. Indeed, there was a house that was on fire all of a sudden in the darkness. Smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.
”This seems to be the clothing shop in Jingxi. Come, let's go take a look.”
”Yes, Second Young Master, please get on the horse!”
”Young duke.” Xiao He had just jumped onto his horse and was about to rush towards the river when Feng Qianyue's personal guard, Ying Kong, walked over and knelt on one knee as he called out.
”Win empty? What brings you here now? ” Xiao He asked.
”The wangfei has urgent matters to attend to. She asks the young duke to make a trip to the Residence of Yue as soon as possible and to order this lowly subordinate to deliver a letter.” As he spoke, he stood up and delivered Xiao Rou's letter into Xiao He's hands.
Xiao He opened the letter and saw that Xiao Rou had written that because she could not get out of bed during pregnancy, she had to be very careful and fidgety every day. As a result, she was very nostalgic and wanted to see her second brother immediately.
”Young duke, when the wangfei handed the letter to me, I don't know why but she cried …” Ying Kong lowered his head and said.
”Put out the fire, put out the fire …” Xiao He could vaguely hear that there were a lot of people shouting over at the shop in the west of the capital. He said, ”Let's go to the Residence of Yue.” He immediately turned around to look at the house that was engulfed in a sea of flames. Then, he mounted his horse and rode in the direction of the King of Yue's mansion.
Not long after Xiao He's horse left, a black figure hurriedly ran over. Xiao He's horse had just left when a black figure hurriedly ran over.
She bit her lower lip again and ran toward the river.
She heard the faint clatter of hooves behind her, and she jerked her head back, as if the horses were coming her way, and when she saw that she was at the edge of the river, she stood on the embankment about three feet (three meters) high, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down.
”Eleven!” As she jumped to her feet, a hand reached out and grabbed her by the waist.
She was shocked. She turned around and saw a familiar face in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat.
”Fourth brother …” ”You, you …”
Feng Qianyue's gaze stared fixedly at him, and a hint of shock flashed through his eyes as he said, ”So it turns out that you're really not dead.”
Feng Lingyue quickly lowered her head, a look of guilt flashing through her eyes. ”I, I'm not …”
Feng Qianyue heard the horse hooves getting closer and closer, so he held onto Feng Lingyue and said, ”Come with me.”
”No!” Feng Lingyue suddenly kneeled down, tightly grasping Feng Qianyue's hand. Her eyes reddened as she implored bitterly, ”Fourth Brother, please, please let me go. Just pretend you didn't see me. Let me go, I beg you.”
Feng Qianyue looked at the pitiful child kneeling on the ground, then shook his head and sighed. ”Eleven, you've already died once. It wasn't easy for you to escape, how can you still be so innocent?”
Feng Lingyue stared blankly for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Feng Qianyue's overly indifferent face. She immediately understood and said in a trembling voice, ”Moli Niang said that someone wanted to force me to reveal myself. So this person was you, Fourth Brother.”
