Half an hour later, Jiang Chong came back with his men and knelt on the ground to apologize: "I was incompetent and let them escape. Please punish me, sir."

Murong Xuanyi said calmly: "Go down, you guys step up to protect Master Yuan's safety."

Jiang Chong and others said: "We obey your orders!"

After they left, Murong Xuanyi said sternly, "Xiaoying, now that the assassin has escaped, you'd better not go south. You should consider going north or west. Just in case the assassin attacks again."

Yuan Ying became a little worried when she heard this: It seemed that the road south was not possible for the time being. It didn’t matter to her, but Old Man Hua should not be involved.

She looked at Old Man Hua apologetically: "Master..."

Seeing this, Old Man Hua waved his hand and said, "You decide for yourself. Since I have decided to follow you, I will follow you no matter what lies ahead, whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire."

Yuan Ying fell into deep thought, and Murong Xuanyi was in no hurry and just waited quietly. It didn't matter if she didn't agree this time, he had plenty of ways to make her go back to the capital with him.

After a while, Yuan Ying said, "We will go north with you, but we will not enter Beijing."

She had no destination, so she could go anywhere, just as a sightseeing trip, but the capital was a place of power, so she didn't want to get involved.

Murong Xuanyi suppressed the joy on his face and said: "If you don't want to go to Beijing, then don't go to Beijing. You can go wherever you like. It's up to you."

Yuan Ying felt something was strange when he heard this, but he didn't say what was strange about it.

A large group of people rested and then set off again. Originally, Yuan Ying and Old Man Hua were riding in the same carriage.

But Murong Xuanyi said he was injured and needed her care. Yuan Ying had no choice but to ride in the same carriage with Murong Xuanyi.

Fang Yang and Jiang Chong were both stunned. Their grandfather had always had a severe mysophobia and no one had ever ridden in his carriage.

This time, I really spent a lot of money to keep Yuan Ying, a talented man, for Daxia, and I even resorted to the tactic of self-torture.

I hope the emperor will appreciate my efforts and grant me a good marriage. Their grandfather is already 26 years old, and other people of this age already have several children.

However, their grandfather is not interested in women and is still alone. He only thinks about building his career all day long. As bachelors, they are all worried about it.

It was also Yuan Ying's first time to ride in Murong Xuanyi's carriage. The decoration inside refreshed her understanding of ancient imperial power.

The carriage is made of black nanmu wood, and is covered with silk on all sides. It is exquisitely carved, inlaid with gold and jade, and the flowers and plants are all gold leaves. The windows are covered by a curtain of light blue crepe, so that outsiders cannot peek into the splendor inside. It looks mysterious and noble.

The interior of the car is spacious and very clean, with a faint scent of sandalwood, as refreshing and clean as Murong Xuanyi himself.

Looking at this magnificent carriage, which looked like a moving palace, Yuan Ying was secretly amazed.

This Murong Xuanyi is really extravagant. If he pawned the gold, silver and jewels on the carriage, it would be enough to feed the people of Zhuang County for at least two years.

She sat down on the couch opposite Murong Xuanyi. Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi was very unhappy and said, "How can you take care of me when you are so far away from me?"

Yuan Ying was speechless and said, "It's right in front of you, only ten feet away. How can it be far? Just tell me what you need to do."

Murong Xuanyi said: "I need to sleep, but I injured my shoulder bone and can't sleep lying down?"

"Then how do you want to sleep?" Yuan Ying asked, resisting the urge to beat him.

"I can only sleep on my side with my head resting on your legs, so that I won't put pressure on the wound."

When Yuan Ying heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Let Fang Yang take care of you."

"How can a rough guy like him take good care of me? What are you afraid of as a man? Besides, I suffered to save you..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Ying sat down next to Murong Xuanyi, pressed his head on his lap and said, "Go to sleep!"

Murong Xuanyi's face turned red as he rested his head on Yuan Ying's soft legs. This was the first time he had such close contact with a woman other than his mother. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. At this moment, he didn't dare to breathe deeply, and his back was tense. In fact, he just wanted her to sit closer.

Yuan Ying saw him rolling his eyes and covered them with his hands and said, "Go to sleep!"

Smelling her delicate and elegant body fragrance, that was the scent of lily of the valley. Murong Xuanyi slowly relaxed. He did not sleep well last night, and he fell asleep quickly while resting his head on Yuan Ying's legs.

Yuan Ying looked at Murong Xuanyi's face. Although his eyes were closed, his resolute face still exuded a handsomeness and majesty that could not be ignored.

His usually frowned brows relaxed in his sleep, revealing his inner peace and tranquility at that moment.

When Murong Xuanyi woke up, it was almost dark, and the carriage had already entered Yunfu City. Jiang Chong had sent someone to book an inn in Yunfu City in advance. Seeing that Murong Xuanyi was still asleep, Yuan Ying did not wake him up, and sat in the carriage in the same position waiting for Murong Xuanyi to wake up.

Murong Xuanyi slept for two hours. He originally just wanted to take a nap but he didn't expect to sleep for so long. He stood up apologetically and said, "Xiaoying, how are your legs? Is it numb?"

Yuan Ying said calmly: "It's okay."

In fact, her legs were numb and she almost lost all feeling. If this was the way to repay him for saving her life, she could bear it.

Yuan Ying waited for a moment before the two of them got off the carriage and walked slowly towards the inn. At this time, the big red lanterns of the inn were already hung high.

Jiang Chong had already asked the inn to prepare dinner. Two tables were filled with hot meals, and because Murong Xuanyi couldn't eat spicy food, he specifically asked for light and non-spicy dishes.

Steamed lamb with wine, chicken and goose with bamboo shoots, braised chicken in red sauce, rabbit with green onions, musk deer, eight-treasure duck, fish with pine nuts, braised pigeons in red sauce, fried yellow sparrow... the innkeeper respectfully introduced the dishes on the table to Murong Xuanyi.

There were two tables in total. She, Murong Xuanyi, Fang Yang and others sat at one table, and the others sat at another table; the guards ate alone.

Yuan Ying is not picky about food. After a whole day's journey, he is very satisfied to have hot meals and dishes to eat.

As expected, Taoran Inn is worthy of being the largest inn in Yunfu City, and the food they serve tastes excellent.

She ate with gusto. Murong Xuanyi reluctantly picked up a big chicken leg for her. Did this girl not consider herself a woman or him a man?

The noble ladies in the capital always chewed their food gently, savored it carefully, and ate very little. Their eating manners were extremely elegant. But Murong Xuanyi still liked Yuan Ying's quick and unrestrained manner. It made people hungry just by looking at him.

Seeing how happily she was eating, Murong Xuanyi moved his chopsticks a few more times.

After eating and drinking his fill, Yuan Ying patted his stomach and returned to his guest room contentedly.

The waiter in the guest room had already prepared the bath water. After resting for a while, I took a nice bath.

After putting on his clothes, Yuan Ying walked to the windowsill and opened the window.

The lights outside are on, the night is falling, and strings of red sand lanterns are rising on the streets. The prosperity and tranquility of the ancient city blend at this moment. The small bridge and river opposite and the black-sailed boats traveling north and south on the river can be vaguely seen. It can be seen that the nightlife of the ancients was also very rich.

After admiring for a long time, Yuan Ying closed the window and prepared to go to bed when Jiang Chong knocked on the door and said that the prince wanted her to come in.

Yuan Ying followed Jiang Chong to Murong Xuanyi's room, which was not far away and next to hers.

She asked patiently, "My Lord, what's wrong?"

Murong Xuanyi curled his lips: Finally it’s not the prince, there is something going on.

Murong Xuanyi handed her a bottle of golden medicine and said, "Well, I need your help to change the medicine. I can't change it on the back."

Without waiting for Yuan Ying to answer, he took off his shirt and lay on the bed.

Seeing that she was still standing there, Murong Xuanyi asked again: "Why are you wasting time as a man? Do you have any improper thoughts about me?"

Yuan Ying was speechless and extremely suspected that this person was seeking repayment for a favor, but she had no evidence.

When I approached him, I saw his well-defined bare back, with firm muscles and beautiful lines. The scars on his back added a bit of wildness to him. It was matched with his thin waist like a male dog, and his perky buttocks hidden under his pants.

Yuan Ying thought of a lion running on the grassland. He was stunned for a moment and sighed: This dog man has a really good figure.

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, Murong Xuanyi glanced over, only to see her staring at his back in a daze. He jokingly asked, "How is it, are you satisfied with my body?"

Yuan Ying looked like he was caught peeping. A rare trace of shyness appeared on his face.

But he still said calmly: "It's OK!"

Murong Xuanyi stared at her blushing face and curled up a smug smile: It's good that you can be shy in front of him, which proves that you have feelings for him. It's only a matter of time before you fall in love with him.

Yuan Ying poured some golden medicine on the wound and gently spread it with his fingers. Seeing the red and swollen wound, he still felt a little guilty and grateful.

Murong Xuanyi felt the touch of her fingertips, and felt a slight itch. Suddenly, he thought of his last dream, and his whole body suddenly became hot. Something had quietly stood up! His old face turned red.

Yuan Ying was flirting without realizing it, and was still concentrating on applying medicine to him while saying, "Don't touch water for the next two days, or it may cause infection and scarring."

Looking up at Murong Xuanyi, his face was flushed as if he was enduring something.

"Did I hurt you?" she asked confused.

Seeing Murong Xuanyi didn't say anything.

"Then I'll be gentler." Yuan Ying said apologetically as he thought about how he didn't use much force during his daily training.

Murong Xuanyi forbearingly said: "I'm fine, you go back and rest!"

Looking at Yuan Ying's back, Murong Xuanyi said lovingly, "What a silly girl who doesn't care about the world."
