Peach Blossom.

In the blink of an eye, Princess Si Yao and more than a dozen guards arrived on horseback to Wang Jing and Tao Ye and surrounded them.

"Who are you calling a 'bastard princess'?" Si Yao stopped his horse and glared at Tao Ye fiercely.

Tao Ye's eyes rolled a few times in her sockets and she smiled awkwardly. She learned this word from Yu'er and was used to scolding her behind her back. She didn't expect that she would say it to her face this time!

Si Yao dismounted and walked towards Wang Jing, his anger rising: "Are you really going to elope with this goblin?"

Wang Jing had a displeased look on his face. He had always disdained to talk to this person. In this situation, of course he didn't want to speak. He wouldn't even look at him straight in the eye.

Si Yao acted as confident as a wife catching a mistress, pointing to the road ahead and saying, "Do you think you can run away? Ever since you left the palace with this devil, I have already placed spies at the front and back gates of the Wang family, at every gate in Jiankang, and even in the streets and alleys. I am here to prevent you from running away!"

Tao Ye shrugged, looked at Wang Jing awkwardly, and asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"

Wang Jing glanced at Tao Ye and did not answer immediately. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Si Yao shouted again: "I command you! Come back with me now! Today is the funeral of my brother, I command you to come with me to the palace to mourn!"

Wang Jing smiled contemptuously and did not answer.

Si Yao drew a guard's sword and pointed it at Wang Jing: "What do you mean?"

Tao Ye looked at Jian Feng and weakly suggested to Wang Jing: "How about... you tell her the truth, she should understand, right? Maybe she can even sponsor you a horse, otherwise... your foot... it hurts so much every time you take a step..."

Si Yao was confused: "What's the truth? What happened to your foot?"

Wang Jing smiled coldly: "Even if I die of pain, I don't need her charity."

When Si Yao heard this, he was immediately furious: "Am I so unbearable in your eyes? If I hadn't concealed your secret departure from the capital, the people standing in front of you right now would not be just a dozen horses!"

Wang Jing smiled, his expression was rather strange, and responded to Si Yao's words: "The princess claims to be good to me. If that's the case, you should be as anxious as I am. I have been investigating Ah Jiao's murder case these days. Why don't you help me find the real murderer? That will also make me believe that you are sincere to me."

Si Yao was a little confused. She understood every word Wang Jing said, but she still didn't seem to understand his real intention: "You want me to investigate the case? Then...if I find out, will you come back with me?"

Wang Jing smiled faintly: "That may not be the case."

Faced with Wang Jing's frivolous attitude, Si Yao immediately became angry again: "Are you kidding me? You don't take me seriously at all. Why should I help you investigate the case?"

"You are of course not obligated to investigate the case for me, but I have the responsibility to seek justice for my deceased wife! So, please get out of the way!" Wang Jing's expression changed from frivolous to serious, and his words gradually revealed a strong tone.

Si Yao habitually displayed her natural dominance: "I won't let you!"

Wang Jing snatched the sword from Si Yao's hand and swung it at the front hoof of a guard's horse.

The horse neighed, leaped with its front hooves, and knocked the guard to the ground, then suddenly began to run wildly. The nearby horses were frightened and some of them did not obey their masters' commands. Some raised their front hooves or ran away. There was a bit of chaos.

Wang Jing simply picked up the wooden box, leaned on his cane, and walked in the original direction without saying anything to anyone.

Tao Ye hurried to chase after him.

Si Yao was unwilling to accept this, and he shouted to the accompanying guards: "Are you all idiots? A dozen grown men can't catch a cripple?"

The guards then abandoned their horses and ran after Wang Jing with swords in hand.

Wang Jing didn't have enough strength, so he was easily caught up. Tao Ye was behind him, and the two of them were surrounded in a circle, unable to move forward or backward.

Si Yao trotted and quickly caught up, standing outside the circle, panting.

"What sin have I committed? Do I deserve to be your prisoner for the rest of my life?" Wang Jing gritted his teeth and squeezed out these two words as if from between his teeth.

His hands were shaking as he suddenly dropped the wooden box heavily, drew the sharp sword from his waist, and slashed around mercilessly.

Tao Ye screamed in fear. She had never seen Wang Jing so angry before. The sword was merciless, so she had to dodge to the side.

Si Yao hid further away, her face also full of fear, and she kept shouting: "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

The guards did not dare to hurt Wang Jing, so most of them were injured by Wang Jing.

Tao Ye paid attention to Wang Jing's feet, and saw that his shoes were already bleeding!

Tao Ye yelled at Si Yao angrily: "Tell them to release them immediately! Otherwise, I will use my magic to make you all die uglier!"

Si Yao naturally yelled at Tao Ye: "How dare you!"

"A princess's identity can only intimidate people. How can you expect it to intimidate a 'monster'?" Tao Ye stuck out her tongue at Si Yao wantonly.

Having said that, it was already bright outside, and this place was not far from the city gate, so people would pass by from time to time. Tao Ye did not dare to easily create the horrifying scene of trees growing branches and rivers of green blood.

Si Yao was so angry at Tao Ye that she pointed her finger at Wang Jing and shouted, "I'm telling you! Whether you are willing to admit it or not, I am now the nominal mother of your daughter, and I decide her marriage. If you come back with me, she will be the empress of the new emperor! If you dare to go with this witch, I will marry her to a bitter and cold place!"

After hearing this, Wang Jing finally stopped, and the guards also stopped fighting.

Tao Ye glanced at Si Yao, her heart pounding with panic. She walked to Wang Jing and whispered, "Remember? I once told you that if you don't obey her, she will definitely take it out on Yu'er."

Wang Jing's face was as cold as ice, and his lips and teeth moved slightly: "I don't want my daughter to be a queen!"

"But we can't marry her to a bitter and cold place..." Tao Ye lowered his head, with melancholy in his eyes.

"There are priorities. She is still too young to get married."

Tao Ye had no choice but to nod. She knew that saving Wang Yi was more urgent at the moment.

But... Si Yao's guards are still surrounding them... how could they let them go so easily?

Si Yao yelled at Wang Jing again, "Do you want to come back with me?"

Wang Jing closed his sword, picked up the cane on the ground, and held it out to Tao Ye: "Can't you make it fly?"

Tao Ye nodded.

"Then let it fly, now." Wang Jing urged.

Si Yao looked confused.

Tao Ye suddenly realized that since the cane can fly short distances, it can also fly long distances! She quickly grabbed the other end of the cane and gave the command: "Take off!"

The wooden cane immediately flew upwards carrying Wang Jing and Tao Ye.

Before leaving the ground, Wang Jing did not forget to grab his big wooden box.

Si Yao and the guards watched Wang Jing and Tao Ye fly into the sky with their staffs and escape from their control, but it was too late to do anything.

When flying mid-air, Tao Ye lowered his head and glanced at the ground, and saw Si Yao just staring at him and stamping his feet anxiously.

At this moment, Tao Ye felt so happy!

When she watched videos before, her favorite part was the plot of "you can't stand me, but you can't get rid of me"! What's more, it was performed live, and the other party was the "bastard princess" she always hated?

Tao Ye held on to the cane tightly and continued to climb. When she saw that their altitude had surpassed the flocks of birds soaring in the sky, she hurriedly ordered the cane to stop climbing to avoid lack of oxygen, and so she flew steadily. She also ordered the cane to become longer and thicker so that she and Wang Jing could sit on it and place their suitcases on it.

"I am a tiny little bird, I want to fly but I can't fly high..." Tao Ye couldn't help singing out loud in joy, she secretly felt lucky that she could fly so high so easily...

Wang Jing sat behind Tao Ye, also looking at the endless blue sky and the mountains and rivers below. He then glanced at Tao Ye who was humming in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"

Tao Ye turned around, swaying her body with a smile: "I am a demon!"

Wang Jing smiled.

Tao Ye turned her head back to the front again, her hair brushing against his face, and they watched the cane fly over the heads of a flock of geese, soon leaving the geese far behind.

She lowered her head and smiled: "I'm just teasing you... To you, I should be considered a person from the future! I came here, originally assigned a mission, but later... I felt... I seemed to have come here just for you..."

"Will people in the future be so powerful?" Wang Jing looked very curious.

Tao Ye couldn't help laughing again: "Humanity is evolving, and of course the level of civilization is getting higher and higher! But... people of our time actually look no different from you. It's just that I... you may find it hard to believe, my body is still in my time, only my soul came to you, and then the ghost king of the underworld... the one who assigned me the task and lent me the magic mirror... he used a peach leaf to make me the same body as before, so my blood is green, but I didn't know that green blood is so magical. Perhaps, it's because the peach tree that is its mother is an ancient tree that has become a spirit, so the blood has the ability to command all the trees in the world..."

Wang Jingxiao nodded.

Tao Ye opened her arms, feeling the thrill of flying in the wind. She excitedly told Wang Jing what she was thinking: "Do you know? In our time, there was a kind of transportation called airplanes, which flew in the sky, but they flew much higher and faster than we do now. Even if the distance was very long, it could reach the destination on the same day!"

Wang Jing smiled and nodded again.

"We have something called a camera, which can take a picture of our current appearance, just like you draw a picture, but the picture is completely restored to reality, not just similar in appearance. In this way, we can keep every beautiful moment and recall it slowly when we are old..."

Wang Jing still smiled and nodded.

"We have another poem there... a modern poem that I like. It expresses a female poet's view of love, which is also my view of love... Do you want me to read it to you?"

Tao Ye's face turned red inadvertently. She looked back at Wang Jing again, and Wang Jing just smiled.

Seeing that Wang Jing did not object, she just brazenly read it out loud:

"If I loved you—

It’s definitely not like a climbing flower in the sky,

Use your high branches to show off yourself;

If I love you——

Never learn from the infatuated bird,

Repeating monotonous songs for the green shade;

more than a fountain,

Bringing cool comfort all year round;

It is not just like a dangerous peak,

Increase your height and highlight your majesty.

Even the sunlight,

Even spring rain.

No, that's not enough!

I must be a kapok near you,

As the image of the tree stands with you.

root, clinging to the ground;

Leaves, touching in the clouds.

every gust of wind,

We all greeted each other,

but no one,

understand our words.

You have your brass branches and iron trunks,

Like a knife, like a sword, and like a halberd;

I have my big red flowers,

Like a heavy sigh,

It is like a heroic torch.

We share the cold waves, winds, thunderbolts;

We share the mist, the clouds and the rainbow.

as if separated forever,

But forever.

This is great love.

Here lies the faithfulness:

Love--

I not only love your tall and majestic body,

I also love the position you insist on,

The ground beneath your feet. "

After reading it, she looked back at Wang Jing again. She felt her heart beating rapidly and she really hoped that Wang Jing would say something.

Wang Jing still gave a warm smile and said softly: "Thank you."
