The north wind swept up the white grass, and the snow fell in August.
The northwest wind screamed, seemingly wanting to tear the weakened Duan Yunfei into pieces.
She looked at the strong wind blowing outside the tent and could not help but shiver. After that, he quietly sat beside the fire and placed his hand on the fire. He did not feel uncomfortable. Duan Yunfei had trained in the Martial Arts since childhood and had a good body. Now that she had come to this desert, she was actually afraid of the cold.
She lowered her head and looked at the flickering flames within the furnace, finally giving the room a sliver of life.
That day, she was overbearing and asked Xiu Heng why he had saved her.
Xiu Heng hesitated for a long time and could not help but laughed bitterly, "Think of it as repayment of my gratitude. Today, I shall repay you all the kindness that I had shown you in the Jin Country. "
"Alright." Duan Yunfei answered firmly, but her eyes turned dense.
She took the cloak from her shoulders and placed it on the bed before she slowly walked out of the tent.
Duan Yunfei had already observed that at this time of day, when the guards in the military changed, the guards would relax a lot.
The army cannot afford to lose its cool for a single day. Duan Yunfei had already been missing for quite a few days. Her heart was burning with anxiety, and she had no idea what was happening in the military camp. Coincidentally, Xiu Heng was not around today, so she changed into a lighter set of clothes and prepared to use this chance to escape.
She had just come out of the tent and was trying to sneak around the haystacks in the army. At this moment, a group of sentries approached them.
If it was in the past, with Duan Yunfei's agility, it would be easy for him to avoid the group of soldiers. However, her injuries had yet to recover, and she accidentally fell to the ground.
Just as Duan Yunfei was about to leave, the group of sentries noticed her traces and walked towards her.
"What are you doing, sneaking around here?" The leader of the sentries pointed at Duan Yunfei and asked sinisterly.
Duan Yunfei did not know how to explain, so she could only lower her head and not reply.
"A man sneaking around here and refusing to speak. Maybe he's an enemy spy." Seeing that Duan Yunfei did not answer, she grabbed her and said: "Come with me to Big Khan, let's see how he will deal with you."
Duan Yunfei struggled, not willing to leave with the other, both sides soon started to fight.
"Stop." A calm voice suddenly came from behind him, allowing Duan Yunfei's heart to calm down.
The leader of the sentries saw Xiu Heng coming over and hurriedly bowed towards him. Greetings, Crown Prince Xiu Heng. "
"What are you doing here?" Xiu Heng slightly nodded, and looked at them as he asked.
"Our brother is standing guard here today. Suddenly, we see him sneaking around here. He is probably a spy from the enemy forces. So we wanted to take her to Big Khan and let him handle her. " The man replied, unable to suppress the joy on his face. If this person was really an enemy spy, then he would be the first to be rewarded. It wouldn't be long before he wouldn't need to be here as a sentry.
"So that's how it is." Xiu Heng laughed as he pulled Duan Yunfei up from the ground.
"Crown Prince Xiu Heng, this..." The sentry hesitated, not understanding what Xiu Heng meant.
However, Xiu Heng ignored him, and simply smiled at Duan Yunfei: "You little boy, you are getting more and more outrageous. I asked you to come out and help me get some charcoal back, but you actually started hiding here. "
Hearing Xiu Heng's words, the sentry at the side became even more suspicious. He looked at Xiu Heng with a puzzled expression and stuttered: "Crown Prince Xiu Heng, this … You two know each other? "
"Xiu Heng turned his head and nodded to the sentry by his side. "This is my personal bodyguard. I felt the room was cold and told him to come out and search for some charcoal, but who knew he would come here to hide and be caught as a spy by the general? He really deserves a beating."
"The Crown Prince has misunderstood. It's not that this little one is deliberately lazy, it's just that the tent is too big. I accidentally lost my bearings and thus decided to linger here." Duan Yunfei understood what Xiu Heng meant and started acting with him. Duan Yunfei lowered her head and bowed to Xiu Heng. This lowly one knows his crimes, I hope that Your Highness can punish this lowly one. "
"If you do something so careless, you will be punished." Xiu Heng refused to look at Duan Yunfei who was kneeling on the ground, "Later, go back and see how I will punish you."
After Xiu Heng finished speaking to Duan Yunfei, he turned his head and smiled towards the sentry at the side. "This is the first time that my guard has come here, and he is also very timid, so I have misunderstood him today.
He thought that he had caught the enemy enemy enemy spy, but he didn't expect that it was Prince of Xiliang's guard. The leader of the sentries was a little disappointed, but there were differences in status between the two. He still bowed to Xiu Heng. Since you are Prince Xiu Heng's guard, then I will be offending you today. I hope that you do not take it to heart. "
Xiu Heng smiled and nodded, then brought Duan Yunfei back.
In the tent, Duan Yunfei glared at Xiu Heng fiercely.
Looking at the expression in her eyes, Xiu Heng couldn't help but smile and extend his hand out to touch her forehead.
"Thirteen, right now you are in Golden Horde Kingdom's army camp and only I am able to take care of you. Why are you always looking at me with such hostility?"
"Xiu Heng, if you truly wish to help me, you should think of a way to help me escape this place." "Duan Yunfei looked at Xiu Heng, his eyes seemingly filled with countless sharpness. "I am a princess of the Jin Country, but I am currently imprisoned in the camp of the Golden Horde Kingdom. If you bring me along, there will be a day when something unexpected happens."
Duan Yunfei spoke nonstop, her entire person looking excited.
Xiu Heng hurriedly walked over and covered Duan Yunfei's mouth, and frowned at her. He scolded her in a low voice, "Thirteen, how did you manage to make such words come out of your mouth? Have you gone mad?"
Duan Yunfei regained her senses and calmed down a little. Lowering her head, she did not dare meet Xiu Heng's eyes.
He sighed heavily and said to Duan Yunfei: "Thirteen, I also don't want you to be afraid here. But now that your injuries have yet to heal, I can only take you with me to protect you."
"However, there is no one leading the army right now. I don't know what kind of chaos is going to occur. Even if I give my life up here, it won't be a long term plan." Duan Yunfei's tone softened, she did not know what to do.
"Xiu Heng pondered for a moment, then patted Duan Yunfei's shoulder. You don't have to worry, just stay here and recuperate. When the time is right, I will think of a way to help you escape. "
Duan Yunfei hesitated, but in the end, she nodded her head. She wasn't sure why. The person sitting in front of her was clearly her enemy. They were at opposite ends of the spectrum.
But when he said he would take her home, she really believed him.
