Chapter 31: Return trip

Even though the assassin disrupted the situation, this troublesome ritual was

over anyway.After another two days of rest in Lingjue Zen Temple, it was the day to

return.Before leaving, the beauty artist took another pulse for me; then he talked

with Yan Ke in a low voice; I couldn't hear them clearly, only that the latter

looked worried—could it be that What's wrong with my body?But these days, except that the physique is weaker than ordinary people, I

don't feel any uncomfortable...When I was puzzled, I saw Jiang Zhuo leading the horse and slowly walking into

the convoy—my eyes followed her involuntarily, and watched her straighten up

the saddle without blinking, turning on the horse neatly and neatly; Er

sprayed his nose, and then planed his hoof.She smiled lightly and patted the horse's neck to show her intimacy. The horse

was so spiritual that she shook her mane as if responding.This person-by-horse interaction made me almost stunned.However, what shocked me the most was the faint smile at the corner of Jiang

Zhuo's mouth. I was afraid that he could not smile at the horse as well as at

me... I couldn't help being a little bit jealous of the horse.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It is absurd to say that the dignified prince is no better than a mount.——Well, who taught me that I can’t control my heart?Suddenly, the figure riding on the horse felt my gaze, holding the rein,

turning his head to look.I didn't have time to dodge, and I made a direct gaze with her, blushing and

heartbeat immediately, so nervous that I couldn't know what to do-what should

I do? Peeping at someone and got caught... Does she, does she think I'm a

voyeur? Or do you think I am plotting against her?Although, I do have such a little bit of unpleasant thoughts about her...In desperation, I didn’t know where my strength came from. I actually gave up

my feet and didn’t wait for the attendant to help me. I climbed onto the

carriage with my hands and feet and quickly got into the carriage-temporarily

isolating the person from it. My eyesight also prevents more people from

seeing me blushing.If Yan Ke found out and thought I had some symptoms, maybe he would

immediately take me back to bed and force me to rest, and cancel the return

trip.Stabilizing the steady and pounding heartbeat, I sat down in the carriage.After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but lifted the curtain up a gap,

squinting his eyes and quietly following the figure of the man.After searching for a while, but I didn't see her, I anxiously opened the car

curtain halfway, but to no avail.--how so? Could it be that she has already set off first?But, as my guard, she should be by my side all the time, how can she... leave

me...After the anxiety was over, the loss spread, I sighed, and silently lowered

the curtain: That's right, this guard job was originally imposed on her by me,

and it was natural for her to be unwilling to cooperate."What is your Royal Highness looking for?" When I was feeling down, I heard a

familiar female voice faintly sounded.I suddenly lifted the driving curtain, and saw that the people who could not

be found everywhere were riding a horse, waiting happily on the side of the

carriage, pulling the reins in one hand, and combing the horse's mane

carelessly in the other— I couldn't see any emotions when I glanced over, but

the corners of my lips naturally curled out, like a wave of soft and clear

spring water, which taught me to be stunned."No, nothing..." After finally finding my voice, I opened my eyes in annoyance

and replied casually."So, the subordinates retire." After hearing this, she didn't stop much,

urging the horse to the front of the team."Hmm..." I watched her back go away, but the words she kept were in her

throat, and in the end it just turned into a sigh.——Tossing and turning when I can’t see her, thinking about it, worrying about

what trouble she will encounter, and tasting her mind about other things,

forgetting herself; but when I really want to see her, I am too shy and dare

not live with her. How close I was, for fear that it would leak the thoughts I

shouldn't have, and annoy her... Such repeated contradictory moods can only be

tasted by me alone, and I can't tell anyone.After the convoy left the Lingjue Temple, Yan Ke ordered a rest on the spot.I was wondering when I saw her getting into the carriage with a young guard;

when I saw the body of the guard, I knew it-I'm afraid it's the so-called

stand-in again.Sending out the small cicada, the guard took off his clothes, and Yan Ke

dragged a bag from the dark side of the carriage, lowered his voice and said

to me: "Although I have already poisoned my Royal Highness. When the news of

the aggrieved person is released, it is difficult to keep those who are

willing to see it through. For the present plan, the soldiers are still

divided into two groups. I will arrange another three groups of troops as a

guise, starting from different directions, and the wronged Highness will

pretend to be a guard. Leaving with the second team... I don't expect your

opponents to guess your whereabouts."Yan Ke’s plan is indeed meticulous. It’s me. Even if she guesses, she will

split up in two ways. At most, she will focus on the last group of troops, but

she can’t predict that the rest of the troops will be blindfolds. The real

team is hidden. In the middle wave, God avoided it unconsciously."Aunt Ke, how many people have been sent to attract attention this time?"

After changing the clothes of the guards, I checked the contents of my bag and

asked."Counting you, there are twelve in total," she said."That's three people in each group?" I shook my head and did not approve of

her arrangement. "It doesn't have to be the case. According to the king, two

people are enough... As for the guards of the king, Aunt Ke thinks , How about

Guard Jiang?""This...I meant to send Bingyi and Bingsi to follow Your Highness," she

frowned, but then compromised under my slightly pleading gaze, "Well, the left

and right sides are just a cover, and the real protection of your Highness is

hidden. Hands in the dark."——I breathed a sigh of relief, with a gesture of success in my heart: In order

to achieve my goal, I also spared my face and used coquettish methods. If I

didn't succeed, I would despise myself.However, when he thought of acting alone with Jiang Zhuo, he felt excited and

nervous in his heart. In addition to this nervousness, there was also a bit of

indescribable shyness.The guard stayed in the carriage instead of me, and I got out of the carriage

with my baggage on my back, looking around for Jiang Zhuo's figure.Not long after, the two horses came out more and more from behind the convoy

and left. After they left, they saw Jiang Zhuo riding the maroon horse, and

the guard on the other side also led a horse. A tall horse with a pure white

coat came towards me.Although I don't know about Xiangma, I also know that this is a wonderful

horse.It's a pity that at this moment I suddenly remembered an overlooked key-I

can't ride a horse.Most girls have had the dream of Prince Charming. If they had the opportunity

to ride a white horse, they would have been half fulfilled... But the reality

before me taught me helpless.Seeing that my face was embarrassed, the guard explained carefully: "This wind

and snow is already the best horse we have brought out on this trip, and it's

docile, with very few scumbags..."——Does she take my hesitation as a disgust?How can I tell her that I don't know how to ride a horse.This is the end of the matter, and I have to bite the bullet and get on the

horse... I just hope that this horse is really a good horse with gentle

temperament, as she said.With the help of the guard, I got on the horse tremblingly. I firmly tightened

the rein, but I didn’t dare to let people see the fear in my heart. Jiang Zhuo

gave me a fixed look, shaking the rein, his legs knocked the horse's belly

lightly. , Urging the horse to trot forward.I followed her, and knocked the horse's belly lightly, and the horse

obediently stepped forward and followed the previous horse.——Actually, it is not difficult.Overcoming the initial fear, I jolted along with the horse's ups and downs,

and gradually mastered the balance.It's just that the ease has disappeared under the horse's faster and faster

speed."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

The sound is nowhere near the sound of my increasingly rapid heartbeat. If

this continues, I am afraid that I will either fall off the horse and die, or

I will die suddenly due to an overburdened heart.When he was almost desperate, a warm embrace was suddenly attached to his

back, and the speed of the horse running under him was reduced a little bit

until he resumed his initial jogging.Before I got back to my senses, I heard an indifferent voice floating softly

into my ears: "Calm down, it's okay." I don't know if it was my illusion, the

voice seemed to contain a smile."Whhhhhhh..." I opened my eyes cautiously, and looked back—it was Jiang Zhuo

as expected."Maybe Your Highness has never learned riding?" When I gradually returned to

my normal breathing rate, she asked casually."Uh, I have learned and learned some, but I haven't practiced for a long time.

Some are...unfamiliar." Kuang Xihan can ride a horse, and I can only rejoice

that I have been some distance away from the team now, and no one else has

seen the embarrassment before— —By the way, not counting those hidden guards

hiding somewhere."So... just to prevent any accidents, please share a ride with your

subordinates." Her hands passed through my waist, clutching the reins,

although they were only vainly, they seemed to hold me in my arms. The same."Okay, okay..." As the white horse jolted forward, his swaying body always

touched inadvertently. Even with two layers of clothing, the friction between

the back and the opponent's chest still made my scalp numb, as if there was a

thin thread. The silver needles, like cow's hairs, ran across my spine,

trembling endlessly.——Despite being shy, the opportunity to have such close contact with her is as

slim as a feather, so why would I refuse?Even if it is a dream, I hope this dream will last longer, and don't wake up

until we return to Guanlan, the imperial capital.
