Yun Qixi looked up in astonishment, only to see the dim moonlight casting a shadow on Yun Chong's face.

"Don't you have no one to rely on? "Where are you going?" he asked.

"Me? I live in the four seas. Any place that I feel comfortable in can be my home." Yun Qixi hugged her knees, thinking about that carefree life, her eyebrows raised up. The moonlight enveloped her, soft and gentle.

Because she had initially rolled down the hill, her clothes were a bit dirty and her hair was a bit messy. Now that she was sitting cross-legged on the ground, she seemed to be in a somewhat sorry state. However, her bright smiling eyes seemed to be able to plant hope into people's hearts.

After a long while without hearing a response, Yun Qixi looked over, just in time to meet Yun Chong's gaze. Yun Chong was in a sorry state, caught unprepared and in a hurry to avoid opening his eyes, and when he opened his mouth there was a trace of an unusual silence.

"Go back and pretend that nothing has changed. Don't call me General Yun, and don't change your mind. You are still a Miss Er of the National Duke Palace, father's daughter, and sister. In the future, no matter who asks, don't speak the truth so honestly again."

Yun Qixi was not surprised, his meaning was that she could continue being a Miss Er? Knowing she was an impostor?

She had already mentally prepared herself, desperately thinking about how carefree and joyful it would be to dig out a dead person's fortune with one hand and cure a living person's illness with the other. When she thought back to the two hundred and fifty taels of silver that she had lost, she didn't feel that pained anymore. After hearing what Yun Chong said, she hesitated again. Maybe she could wait until a month had passed to take the silver before leaving?

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Yun Chong had already walked over, squatted down in front of her and carried her on his shoulder.

Yun Chong climbed up the slope that they climbed with difficulty while carrying her on his back. Thankfully, Yun Chong had good arm strength, and although the terrain was steep, and he still had people on his back, he managed to climb up.

When they reached the place where they had fallen, Yun Chong put his finger to his lips and whistled. Then, in the silence of the night, the sound of hooves came closer and closer, and soon the first runaway horse was back in front of them.

After suffering such a loss on top of the horse, Yun Qixi's heart palpitated. Being bitten by a snake for ten years was her true self.

Yun Chong supported her up onto her horse and then rode on it himself as he slowly and unhurriedly went down the mountain. He came in a rush, but when he returned, it was as if he was strolling.

"Do you really have no one to rely on?" As they walked, Yun Chong's voice suddenly came from behind.

The night wind was blowing gently in the mountain forest, and even though Yun Chong's breath was still heavy with alcohol, his tone clearly showed that he was much more clear-headed.

To Yun Qixi, her family and friends were all in another era, so it was only natural that she had no one to rely on in this foreign world.

"Alone." Yun Qixi replied.

"You're not alone. You're a Miss Er of the National Duke Palace, you have a family, a family, a brother, and many people who love you. Remember?"

Even though everyone knew that she wasn't, they still had to make her continue to pretend so that everyone would think that Miss Er was still alive. Was it his own deceit, or his sympathy for her solitude?

Yun Chong's eyes were unsettled and her thoughts were deep, so Yun Qixi could not completely guess what he was thinking. But tonight, she at least knew that Yun Chong's feelings for the Miss Er were deep.

"Well, why do you think this horse suddenly went mad?" After confessing her identity, she really couldn't get Yun Qixi to call her brother again.

"If I guessed correctly, it should have been infected by the Gu." Yun Chong said.

"Has he been infected with a Gu?" Yun Qixi was surprised, this was too mystical!

"Rumor has it that there is a Gu technique in the North Dee that can use the sound of a flute to disturb one's mind, making one's mind enter a trance and giving birth to illusions. If a person without sufficient mental strength were to be bewitched by this flute sound, they will lose their sanity and die with their seven orifices bleeding. "

Yun Qixi had seen this kind of Gu technique in some of the ancient books she had read before. She thought that it was just a kind of legend, but she never thought that it was actually true.

Did that mean that someone had been following them the entire way? This would explain the Gu technique in horses.

But, who could it be?

She had been on the battlefield for many years, so it was hard to avoid becoming enemies. Maybe he already had the answer to this question in her heart, but since he did not say it, Yun Qixi did not ask.

After descending the mountain and returning to the official road, Yun Chong rode his horse and started to run, but he was no longer running as he had before, and his speed slowed down a lot.

"Does your leg hurt?" Yun Chong asked.

"It doesn't hurt." Yun Qixi replied.

On the mountainside where they had just left stood a man with a body as white as the moon. He gazed at the two men and their horses in the distance before leaving in a cloud of dust.

"Gongzi, why did you do this?" the girl beside the man asked.

Under the moonlight, he faintly smiled, appearing to be in an extremely good mood.

"I'm just helping her."

"But she is no longer an old friend of yours, Miss Er Yun." The woman was still puzzled.

The man watched the horse disappear into the distance. The rhythmic sound of the hooves lingered in his ears, and the curve of his lips added a hint of charm.

"Does it matter again? Heroes do not ask for their origins, and friends do not ask for their names. "

"What if Miss Yun falls and something happens to him?" Upon recalling the scene from before, the lady still felt a lingering fear.

However, the man didn't seem to be worried at all. He smiled and said, "As a deputy general of Jin Jun Army, how can he not have the ability to protect a woman?"

At this point, the woman finally understood. So the young master had already predicted that the Miss Yun would be fine.

In her heart, her master never did anything he wasn't sure of. At first, she was really worried for Yun Qixi. Looking at the smiling face and handsome side of the young master under the moonlight, the reverence in her heart increased by a few points.

When he returned to the National Duke Palace, the sky had already turned white.

There was a light in Yun Fenglie's room, it was unknown if he had not slept at all, or if he had already woken up.

Hearing movement outside, he opened the door and stood in the doorway. A dim yellow light shone from behind him, giving him a feeling of exhaustion.

Seeing Yun Chong carrying Yun Qixi on his back, the two of them whose clothes were not too clean, with a few areas of damage, he could not help but frown.

"What's wrong with you all? How come you're only back now? "

Yun Chong lowered his eyes, not meeting Yun Fenglie's eyes, and only said, "I fell for a while at the age of seventy."

Yun Fenglie shifted his gaze towards Yun Qixi who was behind Yun Chong, and his expression became complicated for a moment. Seeing her roll up her pants, with a piece of cloth wrapped around her leg, he asked in an unclear mood, "Are you injured?"

"Small wound, it's fine." Yun Qixi replied.

Yun Fenglie probably did not sleep at all, and looked very haggard, but he let out a heavy sigh.

"Then let's quickly find a doctor."

"Yes, Father." Yun Chong replied as he carried Yun Qixi and returned to the courtyard.

Yun Fenglie frowned, he watched as they disappeared from the entrance of the courtyard, and held on to the door frame with his hands. It was as though his heart was pressed down by a heavy weight, and even breathing was particularly laborious.

So it turned out that he was still worried!

When Yun Chong carried Yun Qixi back to the courtyard, Qiao Er was already awake.

Seeing them, the Qiao Er was shocked.

"Miss Er, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Qiao Er, don't worry."

Seeing Qiao Er's nervous appearance, Yun Qixi's heart felt very warm.

After placing Yun Qixi on the bed, Yun Chong instructed the Qiao Er, "Qiao Er, heat up some hot water and wash up." After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Qixi again, "Qixi, I'm going to look for a doctor."

Yun Chong was about to leave, but Yun Qixi stopped him, "No need brother, I can take care of my own injuries."

Yun Chong looked deeply at her, and said, "Don't try to be brave."

Yun Qixi laughed, "Don't worry, I can do it."

"Alright then, everything is settled. Let's have a good rest." Yun Chong reminded his once again before he left.

Qiao Er brought hot water over. When she saw that Yun Qixi had already unwrapped the cloth wrapped around her leg and exposed the wound inside, she was even more frightened.

"Miss Er, how did your leg get so injured?"

At first, the mountain was dark, so Yun Qixi couldn't see clearly. But now, under the bright light, he could see that her leg had been cut deeply, to the point where her bones were almost exposed.

It looked like she wouldn't be able to walk properly for a while.

Qiao Er couldn't help but feel pained as she twisted the handkerchief to help her clean the area around her wound. "How can this be? Didn't she come back from the palace? Isn't Eldest Young Master still on the road?

Yun Qixi did her best to comfort her with a gentle smile, "Qiao Er, don't make a fuss.

"Do you really not need to call a doctor for this?" Qiao Er was very worried.

"No need, I just haven't slept for the whole night. I'm a bit tired, you can go down and let me sleep for a bit." Yun Qixi yawned, looking very tired.

Qiao Er was still worried, but she did not say anything else. After washing up, she left the room.

Yun Qixi heard the sound of footsteps walking far away, she got down from the bed, jumped with one leg to the door, locked the door, then jumped back to the bed and hid under the bed. Although one of her legs was injured, it still did not affect her agility. She quickly took out her treasure from under the bed.

She took off her dirty clothes, used some good medicine to treat her wound, and then fell onto the bed.

Although there was white light outside the window, she was very tired, not just physically but mentally.

The night had not yet ended. The night had come one after the other. It was too dramatic.

After experiencing a life and death ordeal at the Taihe Temple, he had thought that she would be able to rest easy. He didn't expect that Yun Chong would have already seen through her identity. Initially, he thought she would never come back here, but Yun Chong had brought her back, and everything had returned to where it started.

Tonight, Yun Chong was in deep pain and entangled.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she could not resist her sleepiness and fell asleep.

In her sleep, she felt a pair of unfriendly eyes falling on her. When she forced herself to open her eyes, she was shocked.

"Miss Er?"
