Chapter 482: Alone
They walked a long way before stopping.
Liang Huan was somewhat surprised that Xiao Jingnan could recognize her at a glance.
She led the horse to take a look at the city gate. The long queue of people continued to be interrogated and entered the city one after another.
Liang Han withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at the silent person.
His black hair was tied up high, he had a tall and straight figure, and his handsome face had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Even though he was wearing cold armor, he could not hide his elegant temperament.
He is a handsome young man and a humble gentleman.
But at this moment, his expression was a little solemn.
Liang Han smiled lightly and opened his mouth first.
“The prince didn’t expose me in public, so he wanted to let me go, right?”
Xiao Jingnan Qingjun's face was slightly surprised, showing a look of shame.
Liang Huan felt deeply: "Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize. I should be grateful to you for not exposing me."
Xiao Jingnan blushed and raised his hand in salute: "Please forgive me, Princess, I am too -"
"Princess?" Liang Huan smiled and interrupted without mercy, "Which of your Zhou kingdom's princesses is named Liang Huan?"
Xiao Jingnan was stunned and looked at her blankly.
Liang Huan met his gaze calmly. During the days she stayed in Zhou Kingdom, she never wanted to be a princess.
She felt a pain in her heart and did not want to continue this topic anymore, so she got straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, you might as well tell me frankly, where should I go?"
Xiao Jingnan lowered his eyes, feeling ashamed in his heart, feeling that he had really underestimated her all this time.
Liang Han raised his head and glanced at the sky, not wanting to waste any more time with him.
"Prince?"
Xiao Jingnan raised his eyes, crossed his hands on his chest and leaned forward to salute.
"You once helped me and Qianqian, but now, I treat you like this. I am really ashamed. But compared with personal grudges and the righteousness of the family and the country, which one is more important, I think you must Understand.”
“I know what you mean to His Highness, but if you stay with His Highness, it will only make him restrained and worried. Tu Yangcheng is the best example. He could have taken it early in the morning, but for your sake, His Highness—"
He looked serious and sincere.
"Originally, as soon as Yu Wenke died, His Highness should have taken over the military affairs, but instead he returned to Lincheng with you. The King of Wei and His Highness were not of the same mind, but this time he was allowed to take advantage of the loophole."
He said no. No regrets.
Liang Huan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
It's a bit sarcastic.
Xiao Jingnan softened his tone and added: "In addition, you also know that His Highness's identity was very sensitive in the past. Now, plus you - some things can be hidden for a while, but not forever. Your Highness’s future should not be burdened by this, nor should it stop here.”
"Otherwise, it would be a waste of all your hard work in saving him, right?"
Painful efforts?
Liang Huan laughed.
Xiao Jingnan stopped talking, his face becoming more and more embarrassed.
Liang Huan lowered his eyes, with a distant and cold expression: "I know the prince has good intentions. However, the relationship, whether to stay or not, are all issues between him and me. Others should not comment. That’s all.”
After she finished speaking, she climbed onto the horse and looked down at him: "Your Majesty, you don't want me to enter the city, just because you don't want him to know that you have seen me, and you don't want him to know that you didn't keep me. Your Majesty, don't worry, I didn't go to the city for fun." What are you trying to do?"
Xiao Jingnan was startled and quickly defended: "No, don't misunderstand me, I--"
Liang Huan looked at him coolly: "See you soon, prince."
After that, he kicked off his feet and galloped away on his horse.
Looking at Jue Jue’s back, Xiao Jingnan froze on the spot, suddenly woke up, and shouted at the retreating figure.
The sound wasn't too loud, but Liang Han still heard it. Liang Huan rode his horse forward. The setting sun had completely set, leaving only a wisp of twilight purple in the sky, followed by a long night.
I sighed slightly in my heart, I was destined to stay in the wilderness tonight.
The mountain forest at night was too dark, and Liang Huan did not dare to go deep, so he only stopped at the edge.
There was a huge tree next to the creek. She tied her horse under the tree, picked up some hay branches nearby, and built a bonfire.
While the horse ate grass, she sat by the fire and took out the hibiscus cake she had prepared earlier in the morning from her baggage. She drank it with some water from the sheepskin bag, which was enough to fill her stomach.
She has had a bad appetite these past two days.
After eating and drinking, Liang Huan looked around and decided to climb up the old tree and sleep for the night.
She tied the baggage tightly to her body, nestled on a big tree branch, rested her head on the trunk, and looked at the bright moon on the sky through the layers of branches and leaves.
I don’t know since when, what she likes to admire most is the full moon above her head.
But, unfortunately, her moon will never come back.
Liang Huan felt sore and painful in her heart. She closed her eyes. Unknowingly, her face became wet and hot.
She lay quietly on the branch, not wanting to be depressed or restrained.
The fire was burning under the tree, and the bright red flames were twisting in the evening breeze.
The horse snorts occasionally.
There are also the chirping of insects in the grass, and the croaking of frogs by the stream.
When I opened my eyes again, my chest felt much more relaxed. I listened to everything and felt everything, and I didn't feel lonely anymore. It would be late at night when sleepiness hit me.
Liang Huan was awakened by the sound of heavy breathing and the neighing of horses.
I was startled. I looked under the tree and suddenly saw three wolves.
Two wolves were attacking her horse, and one was trying to jump up a tree.
Liang Huan took a breath, feeling frightened and frightened for a moment. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down. She sat up and took out her small bow and arrow from the small bundle.
She shot an "arrow" at the wolf biting the horse's leg. The wolf screamed, let go of the horse's leg and jumped and barked at her.
Liang Huan shot three arrows in a row. After a while, the wolf fell down one after another, twitched a few times and stopped moving.
She did not dare to climb down the tree immediately. She did not climb down slowly until she was sure that there were no more wolves around.
Fortunately she was prepared, the silver needles were all tempered with poison.
The horse was not seriously injured, but was bitten on both its front and rear legs.
After Liang Huan bandaged the horse, he led the horse and walked slowly.
The horse is lame and can't walk fast. It's just out of the way. It's dangerous to leave it behind like this.
Liang Huan stopped and walked. When he was resting, he took out the map and looked at it again and again. It was not too far from Lianzhou. If he followed the main road, it would take a longer detour, but he could take a shortcut and there would be another place. Unknown danger.
Liang Han sat on the ground and turned to look at Da Ma, who was kneeling and resting next to her. His wet eyes were also looking at her.
Liang Huan smiled and patted the horse's back.
Just as I put away the map, I heard a noise of people and horses neighing.
Liang Huan panicked. If the visitors were ordinary officers and soldiers, if unfortunately they encountered bandits, it would be difficult to deal with them.
She quickly stood up, and Da Ma also stood up.
In the rush, I only had time to lead the horse and hide it in the woods by the roadside.
Liang Huan hid behind the horse and leaned out slightly to look at the road in the distance. When he saw clearly who was coming, his heart relaxed and then became anxious again.
What is surprising is that they are not bandits, but what is surprising is that they are Zhou Jun.
Liang Huan glanced at the big white horse, patted its back gently, quickly tied it to a small tree, and then abandoned the horse and went deeper into the vegetation before the Zhou army approached.
