Ning Ziqing came to the quiet creek alone. She stood quietly on the shore, listening to the gurgling water, and thinking secretly.

Then she picked up the pebbles and threw them into the water glumly. When Huo Yunjue came, her mood was immediately affected.After what happened that night, she had been feeling depressed and stayed in Xiyuan for several days, refusing to go out.It wasn't until Cao Yanyan sent someone to invite her to fly the kites that she happily agreed to go out.

"Huo Yunjue, you bastard!" Ning Ziqing angrily kicked a stone into the stream and smiled as she watched the huge waves in the water.

"It seems that the third lady doesn't want to see me again!" Huo Yunjue's deep voice suddenly came from behind.

"Your Highness is joking, how dare I be disrespectful to you, Your Highness!" Ning Ziqing's face suddenly stiffened, and she raised her head to look at him, her eyes deep.

"Are you still angry with me? It was just a misunderstanding that night. I didn't mean to belittle you, I just..."

"Why do you need to explain, Your Highness? I have already made it very clear. Nothing happened between Your Highness and I. Please don't pester me again!"

Ning Ziqing interrupted him and turned around to leave. Huo Yunjue's face darkened upon hearing this, and he rushed forward and grabbed her arm.

"Ning Ziqing, what do you mean, don't pester you? Don't forget, your life has fallen into my hands several times. If you want to break up with me, you are dreaming!" He tried his best to restrain himself. His anger and complexion were extremely bad.

"Then what does Your Highness want from me?" Ning Ziqing asked him.

"Miss Third, you should pay back what you owe me slowly until I am satisfied!" Huo Yunjue's handsome face became more and more gloomy. He pursed his lips tightly and his tone was very domineering, not allowing Ning Ziqing to refuse.

Ning Ziqing's expression changed slightly, and his tone was a little cold: "Your Highness, why don't you give me a pleasure!" Then he took out a short knife from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"You!" Huo Yunjue angrily knocked the dagger in her hand to the ground and stared at her coldly.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Huo Yunjue immediately let go of Ning Ziqing's arm and turned to look.

Su Yanqi was seen looking at them in surprise not far away.

"I've met His Highness the Fourth Highness, why are you here with the Third Miss?" Su Yanqi saluted him respectfully and asked in confusion.

"The scenery here is very beautiful. My Highness was interested for a while, so I came over to take a look. I happened to meet the third lady who came here to play." Huo Yunjue's expression gradually returned to calmness. He glanced at Ning Ziqing, and then walked around She walked towards the path ahead.

"Qi Langjun, why are you here?" Ning Ziqing was a little surprised.

"My villa is nearby. I planted a medicinal garden in it. I came over to take care of it today if I have nothing to do. I didn't expect to meet you here." Su Yanqi's voice was calm and gentle, and he walked towards her.

"Are you here with His Royal Highness the Fourth?"

"I came here with two friends to fly kites. His Royal Highness went out to search for bandits in the city and happened to meet us." Ning Ziqing explained to him.

Huo Yunjue looked at them standing and talking together from a distance, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. He continued to move forward gloomily, no longer paying attention to them.

After a few people returned to the grass and exchanged greetings, Cao Yanyan suggested that they go horse racing in the afternoon, but no one responded to her for a long time.

Several people had different expressions, as if they were absent-minded.

"What's wrong with you today? You're listless." Cao Yanyan complained with some dissatisfaction.

"Sister Cao, I haven't learned to ride a horse yet." Ning Ziqing was the first to explain, while Huo Yunjue remained silent with a gloomy expression.

"Why don't we go take a look at the nearby pear blossom forest first? The pear blossoms here are blooming just right." Cao Yanyan suggested again.

Several people nodded in agreement and followed Cao Yanyan through a grassland and came to a pear forest.

Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi walked side by side and chatted very well, while Huo Yunjue walked silently behind, feeling depressed.He suddenly found that when he saw Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi together, his inner irritability and uneasiness were particularly obvious.

The pear blossoms were falling and the fragrance was overflowing, but he felt that he could not fully enjoy them.

"I have to go search for the bandits, so I'll leave first." Huo Yunjue didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye to them and turned around to leave.

"It won't take you a while, your Fourth Highness, you haven't even raced with me yet!"

Cao Yanyan shouted at his back, but Huo Yunjue didn't look back. Ning Ziqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him leaving.

"Qi Langjun, why don't you have a match with me!" Cao Yanyan looked at Su Yanqi with expectation.

"Miss Cao, please!" Su Yanqi made a gesture of invitation.

They came to an open space. Cao Yanyan and Su Yanqi were riding horses side by side. Song Yu gave an order, and the two of them rushed out quickly, raising their whips and stirring up a cloud of flying dust behind them.

Just as Ning Ziqing looked at the two galloping figures, Song Yu suddenly spoke.

"Third Miss, His Highness the Fourth Highness seems to be particularly concerned about you." His sudden words shocked Ning Ziqing.

"Mr. Song, why did you say that? Your Highness and I are not what you think." Ning Ziqing explained to him.

"I know, I believe in the third lady's character, but the fourth prince's behavior is too obvious, even I can see it. I'm afraid Qiluojun will misunderstand you!"

Ning Ziqing was slightly stunned when she heard the words. She didn't know how to answer for a moment. She looked into the distance silently. Su Yanqi's moon-white robe was fluttering in the wind. He raised his hand and whipped and galloped towards her.

After a moment of silence, she looked away and said calmly.

"Thank you Mr. Song for reminding me, I will pay attention!"

Just when Su Yanqi and Cao Yanyan were riding back, a group of dark clouds suddenly floated in the sky, covering the sun, and the light suddenly dimmed.The breeze suddenly turned cold, accompanied by a layer of gray mist, which made people feel extremely cold and depressing.

Suddenly, several big men with knives rushed over from all sides and surrounded Ning Ziqing and Song Yu.Su Yanqi sensed something was wrong and pinched the horse's belly hard. The horse immediately neighed and galloped forward.

When the two arrived, the person was gone, and only an embroidered handkerchief of Ning Ziqing's was scattered on the ground. "

"They were kidnapped!" Su Yanqi picked up the embroidered handkerchief on the ground and was suddenly shocked. He got on his horse again and prepared to chase after them.

Cao Yanyan also got on her horse anxiously. At this time, there was a crisp sound of horse hooves behind them, and Huo Yunjue was leading a group of Golden Wings.

"Your Royal Highness, Song Yu and the little fairy were kidnapped!" Cao Yanyan shouted to him anxiously.

"What did you say!" Huo Yunjue was shocked when he heard the news, and his expression suddenly became nervous. He whipped the horse hard in an anxious manner.

"Follow me and chase!" He gave the order and immediately led the Golden Wing Army to run quickly.

In a hidden ruined temple on Jiuxi Mountain, Song Yu and Ning Ziqing were tied to two large pillars. Several fierce men stared at Ning Ziqing up and down with malicious intent.

"What a beauty. Why don't you give me a few to play with first?"

"Little beauty, give me a smile." They teased Ning Ziqing, who glared at them with disgust.

"Oh, he is still a good-tempered one, I like him!" A big man hooked Ning Ziqing's chin with his hand.

"Bah, scoundrel, it's really disgusting!" Ning Ziqing reprimanded loudly in disgust and turned her face away.

"What are you going to do? This is the foot of the emperor, and the government is chasing you! Let us go!" Song Yu struggled hard several times, trying to break free from his bonds.

"You little bastard, you have a tough mouth. Believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife!" A big man slapped him hard.

"Stop, aren't you kidnapping us just for money? We can write a letter asking you to go to our family and bring money to redeem us, but the premise is that you must ensure that we are not harmed!" Ning Ziqing calmly negotiated with several big men. arrive.

"The beauty is still smart, and she hit the point right away. We don't want much, so 5 taels of gold can be exchanged for two of your lives!"

"5 taels of gold? You are like a lion, why don't you go and grab it!" Song Yu scolded angrily. Ning Ziqing looked at him speechlessly, they are just grabbing it now, okay?

"While I'm in a good mood now, we'll let him go for 5 taels. If it's later, it won't be this price!" A big man put a knife on Song Yu's neck, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to say a word.

"A good man will leave a request under his sword. We will write a letter right away. Please untie us first!" Ning Ziqing begged quickly.

"Untie them and watch them tighter. If they are dishonest, I will chop them with a knife!"

"Yes, boss!"

Two big men immediately came up and untied them. Ning Ziqing rubbed her wrists and pulled out the hairpin from her head. A big man immediately put a knife on her neck.

"Hero, spare your life, I just took off the hairpin as a token, so that my family can believe that we were kidnapped!" She stood and did not dare to move. The leader waved his hand, and the big man immediately put the knife back. Song Yu Seeing this, he also took off a piece of jade pendant on his body.

The big man handed Ning Ziqing a writing brush. Ning Ziqing picked up the pen and wrote a letter. He glanced outside and vaguely saw a few lights. It must be Su Yanqi and the others who came for him.

"Stop taking your time and write quickly for me!" the big man urged fiercely.

After Ning Ziqing finished writing, he handed the pen to Song Yu and whispered in his ear.

"They are coming!" Song Yu was overjoyed and started to write a letter. He deliberately wrote slowly to try to delay as much time as possible.

After the two wrote the letter, the leader reached out and asked them to hand over the token.Ning Ziqing was about to hand it over when suddenly a sharp arrow flew and hit the leader's feet.The leader screamed in surprise and suddenly became alert.

Immediately afterwards, the leader grabbed Ning Ziqing and pointed the sharp blade at her neck.Ning Ziqing held her breath, her whole body tensed up, and she didn't dare to move.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the ruined temple.It turned out that a group of Golden Wings had gathered here, ready to rescue them.
