C332

In the distance, Xu Lie could smell the thick stench of blood, and when he saw that the ground was filled with the carcass of the eagle, he became even more alarmed. The moment he got off the horse, he rushed over and hugged Chu Qingyao, "A You, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Chu Qingyao pushed him away, "Xu Lie, it's great that you're back. Quickly help me find a carriage, the coachman and Man Tianyao are both injured."

While speaking, Man Tianyao walked over, "Girl, I'm fine. As it happens, he has a horse, so he should first give it to the coachman.

"You guys wait for me at the front. I'll bandage him first, then take care of the eagle." The eagles were temporarily out of consciousness and had to be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, he would get up again after the effect of the anesthetic had passed.

"I'll bury him." Xu Lie rushed to answer.

"He's not dead yet!" We need to burn them down before we can get rid of any future troubles. " Chu Qingyao hated these fierce beasts to the extreme. Xu Lie was startled, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the eagle was still gasping for breath.

He couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

"Poison." Chu Qingyao passed by him in a blur.

Man Tianyao looked at the carriage driver, "Let me bandage him, let the girl go to the front and wait. Xu Lie set a fire."

"Let me do it!" He has two broken ribs. " Chu Qingyao was afraid that Man Tianyao was not good at it.

"Not to mention only breaking two bones, even if all of them were broken, I would still be able to bandage them well." Man Tianyao was not convinced.

Just now when she checked, she already knew that the broken bones didn't pierce into the internal organs, so she took out two fixed belts and handed them over. "Use this." Man Tianyao looked at it for a few moments, and surprisingly, no one knew how to use it.

Xu Lie threw the eagle aside. After confirming that there was not a single one left, he took out a fire piston and lit it with a poof. The eagle's feathers were on fire, and soon, the fragrance of burnt meat wafted in the air.

After burning the eagle, they set off together. That night, they arrived at a small town. Fortunately, there were three empty rooms in the only inn in town. In the end, Chu Qingyao and Man Tianyao shared a room each. Since Xu Lie had to take care of the carriage driver, he could only stay with him.

The next day, the coachman woke up with a face full of lingering fear. After recognizing Qing Yao and Man Tianyao, he anxiously said, "Let me go home! I won't pull you guys. "

If an ordinary person were to encounter such a situation, it would not be strange for them to be frightened.

Chu Qingyao patiently said, "Old Uncle, don't worry. You can stay here and recuperate. After you've recuperate, you can leave after taking the silver."

Actually, she had already asked around long ago. This carriage driver was alone, or else he wouldn't have wandered around with them for so many days. It seemed like he had been scared out of his wits yesterday, which was why he lost his composure like this.

When the carriage driver's mood stabilized, Man Tianyao asked, "Did you clearly see the person on the carriage opposite us yesterday?" When he opened the door, he only saw a carriage that seemed to have left in a cloud of dust behind the eagle.

The driver said, "I saw it. It was very scary. The driver wore a red mask like an eagle's head on his face. I only took a glance before he whipped me up and threw me out. "

Chu Qingyao immediately looked towards Man Tianyao, "Was it the person who tried to take Ke Xue away that day?"

"Probably." Man Tianyao frowned.

Wearing only a red eagle mask didn't mean much, but since this person could control the eagle, it was hard to not ponder on this matter. According to what he knew, only the Falcon Kingdom Royal Family had this special ability.

Seeing him deep in thought, Chu Qingyao was puzzled, "Do you know who that person was?"

"I don't know." Man Tianyao shook his head. This matter still needed further confirmation.

Chu Qingyao changed the carriage driver's medicine, then turned to Xu Lie and asked, "When are you going back to the army camp?"

Xu Lie's heart raced. He accidentally spoke out the words in his heart, "A You, I don't want to go back. I want to stay and protect you."

"I can't show you." Man Tianyao glared at him in disdain, "If you want to be a deserter, then prepare to be dismembered by Xuanyuan Zhi!" This reminded Xu Lie, if the Duke found out that it was A You who betrayed them and left the army, he would definitely not be able to live.

But he didn't care, did he?

In the past few years in the northern region, he'd heard that the prince was very good to his wife, so he didn't have any other ideas. However, the person in front of her was clearly the prince. When she was in danger, not even a guard appeared.

He regretted it.

"Xu Lie, Man Tianyao will protect me, your duty is to protect your family and country, go back to the army camp!" As long as more time passes, Xu Lie would definitely be able to become a good general like He Lanhoude, and protect the peace in one area.

How could Xu Lie not hear such an obvious rejection? His heart was aching but at the same time, a smile appeared on his face. "A You, then I'll go back, and if there's a day when you need me, I, Xu Lie, will definitely not give up."

Chu Qingyao did not expect Xu Lie to be so loyal, and said emotionally, "Xu Lie, I will remember your words. Chu Qingyao, Xu Lie, will be your friend for life. "

Although he was disappointed, Xu Lie still said, "A You, I will be going now."

Give him the horse and send him out of the inn. Chu Qingyao turned her head and coincidentally bumped into Man Tianyao. Inadvertently, her forehead drew across his lips. Man Tianyao froze, and his face flushed red almost imperceptibly. His eyes darkened for a long time before he finally said, "Girl, let's go in."

Returning to the coachman's cabin, Chu Qingyao said, "Uncle, we can't stay too long. I'll give you more silver, after you recuperate from your injuries, you can go back to the capital by yourself!"

The coachman thought for a moment, then suddenly changed his mind, "Girl, if you don't mind, I'd like to follow you guys. I have already thought about it. If I am alone, I would not have any family members even if I were to return to the capital.

Seeing that Man Tianyao was looking at him, he could only say, "Don't worry, I will stay for two days and I can drive.

The coachman had followed them from the capital to the mountains, and they had been together for more than a month. Plus, he had no children, so he wouldn't be able to go back alone.

Looking at Man Tianyao, he saw that he did not say a word, and said: Man Tianyao, why don't we bring our old uncle along! When the time comes, settle him down in the Guwu Men and let him do some chores. "

"If the girl likes it, I have no objections." Man Tianyao had some doubts about the coachman's sudden change of heart, but he had tried using the coachman before, so he really didn't have the time.

Seven days later, Chu Qingyao said, "I'll go to the farmhouse and ask if there's a carriage."

"There's no need to go. The carriage is about to arrive." Man Tianyao stopped him.

"Who will send us a carriage? Your subordinates? " Chu Qingyao was pleasantly surprised.

Before Man Tianyao could reply, a string of hoof steps came from outside. Chu Qingyao followed Man Tianyao outside, and saw a luxurious carriage parked in front of the inn.

Upon seeing Man Tianyao, the teenager immediately jumped down in excitement, "Sect Leader, the carriage is here, is it not too late?"

"Not bad." Man Tianyao saw Shuang Ya looking at Chu Qingyao, and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? She's your elder. " Although he said that he was an elder, he did not tell Shuang Ya what to call him.

Shuang Ya was clever, he stepped forward and bowed, "Shuang Ya greets Master."

Chu Qingyao was stunned. She and Man Tianyao were innocent!

On the other hand, Man Tianyao seemed to be extremely satisfied with Shuang Ya's way of addressing him, smiling as he said, "Get inside the house and carry him out. Let's go on our way." Seeing Shuang Ya entering the house, Chu Qingyao spoke, "Man Tianyao, we clearly have nothing to do with each other, don't mislead others."

Man Tianyao suddenly leaned over, "Little girl, you mean to say, you want to have something to do with me?"

"Scram!" Chu Qingyao was angry at his shamelessness. Man Tianyao caressed her face. But what's wrong with being his wife? They were a match made in heaven.

Shuang Ya sent the coachman to the carriage, and waited for Chu Qingyao and Man Tianyao to get on the carriage. Then, he waved his horsewhip lightly, and the carriage drove out of the town steadily.

The coachman, who used to drive outside, suddenly seemed ill at ease with them. When he first got on the car, he was clearly lying there. At this moment, he struggled to sit up.

"Miss, Young Master, please let me sit outside! "I'm not used to it …" He was really not used to it. In his entire life, he had never been cared for this way by a rich person before.

Just as Chu Qingyao was about to advise, she saw Man Tianyao reaching out his hand and pressing down on the carriage, from the center of her head, a board slowly fell, covering the driver who was lying down.

Chu Qingyao was shocked, this carriage was very advanced. She intentionally took a look at it and saw that her uncle was lying down very well. With a foot of beast skin beneath him, the carriage would not even bumpy if it ran.

She laughed and said, "Old Uncle, you can just lie there peacefully. If anything happens, just shout out. Rest assured! We won't leave you. "

"Ai ai!" The old man was so touched that he didn't know what to say.

Shuang Ya's driving skills were top-notch, the horse carriage running on the road was fast and stable. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Chu Qingyao calculated that they would reach the Toxic Sect in three days. He didn't know if Ximen Mo and the others had settled down yet, or if they had found a suitable mountain top to rebuild their sect.

She thought about the Nine Moons Country again and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Dongfang Zhengning, this matter isn't over.

"Clan Master, Wind-Fire Cliff is right in front of us. Let's rest for a bit before we continue our journey!" Shuang Ya said from outside.

"Yes." Man Tianyao looked at Chu Qingyao, "Girl, I'll bring you to see Wind-Fire Cliff in a while. It is said that there is a fire-breathing cave beneath the Wind-Fire Cliff, so the four seasons below the cliff are as warm as spring and there are many precious herbs growing within.

"I'll go too." Hearing that there were good herbs, Chu Qingyao's eyes lit up. The Tian Qiong was currently growing his own medicine, but the herbs that had a certain age were not something that could be grown in a short period of time. Even after several years, if a person was able to cultivate it, the medicinal effects would still be vastly different from that of a wild one.

Thinking of this, she laughed at herself once again. What kind of status did she have to worry about the Tian Qiong? The three words Prince Zhi's Concubine? Even he himself felt sarcastic.

After the carriage stopped, the two got off. Man Tianyao brought her to Wind-Fire Cliff, two miles away.

After reaching the edge of the cliff and listening to the sound of the wind blowing past her feet, Chu Qingyao finally understood why there was the word 'Wind' in this place. Just hearing the sound of the wind was enough to make her hair stand on end. Resisting the dizziness and looking down, all he could see was smoke swirling around him, without being able to see the bottom.

Man Tianyao pulled her back, "Girl, don't stand so close to me, I feel dizzy just by standing there for a long time."

"How can we get down at such a high altitude?" She was somewhat saddened. If there really was a good medicine at the bottom of the cliff, it wasn't worth using his life to exchange for it.
