Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Li Yuan was a child who didn't drink alcohol at first, but later he learned to drink when he went to the military camp. He drank in front of her once and was scolded by her. They never saw each other again after that.

But he drank too much that time and his face didn't turn red. He was a very good drinker.

For someone who doesn't blush even when drinking, he probably won't blush either. So now Li Yuan's entire ears and neck were all red, causing Wei Qiqi to take a closer look.

What's going on here?

What happened made him shy.

wrong.

Just now Cheng Feiyue asked him to bring something, and when she turned around, Li Yuan looked like this.

She looked at Li Yuan with strange eyes, but didn't ask any more questions.

Li Yuan couldn't stand Qi Niang's gaze and felt that Cheng Feiyue was really unteachable.

What did they ask him to bring...

And he said it in front of Qiniang.

As soon as Li Yuan thought of what that thing was, he couldn't help but feel his whole body getting hot, and he could even feel the heat on his face.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see his own expression, and naturally didn't know that what exposed him was not his blushing face, but his earlobes that were red enough to almost bleed.

There were already ten people waiting at the foot of the mountain. When Li Yuan and Wei Qiqi approached, someone came over leading two horses.

Seeing the horse, Wei Qiqi was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

The previous painful experience of riding a horse caused her to have a dull pain on the inside of her thigh.

And she can't ride a horse.

Li Yuan took a tall horse and raised his hand to signal him to take the other horse back.

"One horse will do."

As he spoke, he turned over and sat on it. He was tall and dressed in dark clothes, which made his face look like a handsome man.

The moment he lowered his head to look at Wei Qiqi, he felt like a person in power, looking down on others but having to bow down for the one he loved.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Wei Qiqi really felt like she was possessed by a demon.

However, having this thought also made her deeply aware at this moment that even though she had always thought that Li Yuan was only fifteen years old, it was undeniable that Li Yuan had grown into a man.

A serious man in this dynasty.

She suddenly looked at the men who were about to follow her.

When they met her gaze, they quickly lowered their heads, but she could still catch the look in their eyes.

Perhaps the things she had been ignoring were finally made known to her at this time.

In the eyes of these people, she and Li Yuan were stepson and stepmother, an ethical relationship without blood ties.

It's the age to avoid suspicion.

Even though she raised the child herself.

But in the eyes of these people, many dirty and filthy things can arise.

She didn't care, after all, she had lived her entire life under such gaze.

Apart from those three or two people, there are not many people she really cares about.

It doesn't matter how others speculate about her life and her every move.

But Li Yuan couldn't do that.

He was still a teenager in her eyes.

A rising star, he has great abilities and has not made any mistakes so far.

Even if there is really nothing between them, once other people's suspicions and speculations arise, the thing that does not exist will become something.

Rumors can destroy a person and can kill him or her. Isn't this something she knows best?

She cannot become this stain on Li Yuan.

"Qiniang?"

Li Yuan maintained a half-bent posture, he looked at Wei Qiqi and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wei Qiqi looked up and put his hand on her. “I’ll sit in the back today and just hold on to you. The wind is too strong in front.”

Li Yuan hesitated for two seconds and finally agreed.

He took Wei Qiqi's hand, pulled her up, sat astride her in front, and then held her around the waist and carried her back.

When Wei Qiqi sat in the back facing Li Yuan's back, she was frightened by his amazing strength.

Suppress the shock in your heart.

good boy.

After Wei Qiqi had a firm grasp, Li Yuan raised his chin and signaled the person in front to go first.

He followed behind.

Li Yuan specially had this saddle made larger so that two people could sit on it, so it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as before.

The horse started to run, and at first it was a little uncomfortable with the movement and didn't notice it.

By the time I realized something was wrong, the horse had already run several meters away.

Li Yuan's originally somewhat distracted expression froze in an instant.

Then it became stiff.

The touch behind him was particularly clear in the slightly cool breeze. When he realized that the person leaning against him was Wei Qiqi, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he even felt his limbs go weak and he almost couldn't hold the reins in his hands.

Once people feel something, they will always pay attention to it.

He knew that all the touches behind him came from Qiniang. The more Li Yuan restrained himself, the more clearly he could feel the touches behind him.

In a trance, he felt the place behind him burning, which made his soul tremble.

Li Yuanqiang suppressed his emotions and silently recited the "Lingyan Sutra" that he had just started to learn.

They traveled at lightning speed all the way. Li Yuan and others set out a little late, so they traveled too fast.

After Li Yuan recited the "Lingyan Sutra" several times without success, he recited the "Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch" silently. When he finished, he was almost at the city gate and it was time to close the gate.

Li Yuan and his men parked the horses at a horse grazing area they had set up nearby, and then entered the city gate.

Perhaps because it was already late, and there were still many people at the door, the guards guarding the city did not pay much attention.

After taking a quick look and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he waved his hand and let the others in.

It's getting late and it's not suitable to be outside now. Most of the shops are closed.

Li Yuan picked up the things in his backpack and handed them to Wei Qiqi.

Wei Qiqi took a closer look and found it was actually a hat veil.

Wei Qiqi understood his thoughts and put on the veil to cover up the stunning glory underneath.

The group arrived at the inn, ordered some food, and then went back to their rooms to eat.

Wei Qiqi had her own room, and Li Yuan's house was next to hers.

When the food was delivered, it was Li Yuan who brought it. When Wei Qiqi saw that the dishes were for two people, she followed his lead.

After all, she couldn't finish so much food, so she gave it to Li Yuan.

After calming down for a while, Li Yuan still doesn't dare to look at Wei Qiqi.

Wei Qiqi also didn't want to talk for the time being because of some of her own thoughts.

The two of them finished their meal in rare silence, and after Li Yuan had cleaned up, they went back to their rooms.

After locking the door, Wei Qiqi took off his coat and lay down on the bed.

There are a lot of mixed thoughts in my mind.

Maybe she needs to learn how to ride a horse.

Otherwise, she and Li Yuan would have to ride on the same horse in the future. How could that be possible?

The bigger the worse.

And I can't be with others.

Everything will be convenient once you learn it yourself.

Moreover, there were ready-made horses and ready-made teachers. Wei Qiqi immediately decided to wait for a while, when she was less busy, and take some time to learn horse riding.

I was thinking so much that I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes the next day, Wei Qiqi realized something was wrong.

My whole body was in unbearable pain, my head was dizzy, and my body felt like it was filled with lead.

Regret suddenly flooded my heart.

How could she fall asleep like that!
