If you want to repel the wolves, you must first find the leader of the wolf pack, but the night was too dark and there were too many wolves, and the scene was once chaotic, and there was no leader wolf to be found. The one with the best eyesight here is Si Qinglian. Shuttle back and forth in the group, with agility, one foot on the ground, one can climb to the top of the tree, the lightness kung fu is extremely good, even so, Si Qinglian wandered around but couldn't find the leader wolf.

Xia Ningle was worried about Si Qinglian, it was too dangerous for her to be alone among the wolves, so she couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness, come back quickly."

Si Qinglian was far away, and she didn't know if she heard her, but she saw her body fluttering like a leaf blown by the wind, over a few treetops, and was rushing back, no one noticed the nanny's husband Get up from the ground, and bump into Xia Ningle's back.

"Ning'er!" Si Qinglian called out, looking particularly anxious amidst the chaotic voice.

Xia Ningle fell to the ground, and the torch rolled away from her hands. The light of the fire just happened to shine on the bottom of a tree root. There was a knife-cut mark on it, like some kind of mark. Before she could see it clearly, the torch was snatched away by the nurse's husband , he ran all the way with the torch, and a handful of flames disappeared in the black forest in an instant.

The elbow was in burning pain, Xia Ningle didn't dare to delay, she got up immediately, but fell into Xiangruan's embrace, the world was spinning for a while, a wolf passed by Xia Ningle's side, and then was kicked heavily, fell to the ground The hungry wolf whimpered, turned and fled.

"Are you OK?"

Si Qinglian hugged Xia Ningle at some point, she was also the wolf she kicked flying just now, her eyes were full of concern, not a fake, Xia Ningle's heart warmed up, and she shook her head.

"The man ran away."

"It's okay, wild beasts that live in groups often like to hunt single and weak prey." Just as Si Qinglian finished speaking, a howl of wolves sounded, and the wolves quickly chased in the direction where the man was fleeing.

The wolves left, and everyone dared not relax.

Fortunately, there was no danger, this time there were no casualties, Si Qinglian ordered the team to continue to rest, leaving a few people to watch the night, the vigorous bonfire illuminated the surroundings, and everyone was a little ashamed.

Not long after, a wail sounded in the forest. Everyone looked around vigilantly, and there was no abnormality in the surroundings. The wail must have come from the nurse's husband.

Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and no one would sympathize with him. Only the nanny sighed, but it was only a sigh.

Xia Ningle was very concerned about the imprint just now, but she couldn't remember which tree it was under, so she took Si Qinglian's hand and drew a "<" character on his palm to ask.

Si Qinglian withdrew her hand, looking unnatural, she was silent for a while before saying, "A kind of mark, used to identify the direction or..."

"Or what?"

"It's nothing, it will be dawn soon, you should rest first!" Si Qinglian seemed unwilling to delve into it.

In fact, Si Qinglian didn't say anything, Xia Ningle probably understood in her heart that maybe someone left a mark on purpose to guide someone or track the team, Si Qinglian didn't pursue it, it was her own consideration, Xia Ningle also It's not good to interfere too much with her decision.

While thinking about it, Xia Ningle saw a dark red spot on Si Qinglian's sleeve. She grabbed Si Qinglian's wrist, and under the light of the bonfire, she touched it with her hand. It was blood: "Your Highness, why are you injured? Let's deal with it."

"Just a small injury."

Si Qingli hooked her lips.

Xia Ningle didn't answer, she asked Chun'er for some clean cotton cloth, Chun'er didn't know that Si Qinglian was injured, and thought she wanted the cotton cloth for Si Qinglian to sleep on, so she found a two square meter cotton cloth for her.

Xia Ningle didn't explain either. She tore the cotton cloth into pieces with a dagger, and then rolled up Si Qinglian's sleeve. A small scratch looked extremely hideous on the snow-white cream. She dipped the cotton cloth in some water , slowly clean the wound.

This injury should have been caused when Si Qinglian rescued Xia Ningle just now. While she blamed herself, she also had an inexplicable feeling, sour, a little pain, maybe it was distressing?

"Your Highness must not do this in the future. If those wolves are infected, His Highness's life will not be guaranteed, and it is not worth it."

"It's not up to Miss Xia to teach me what to do."

Xia Ningle frowned, and the force of cleaning the wound in his hands increased a little bit, Si Qinglian's face was also as usual, really stubborn, as a princess, Si Qinglian would never bow her head.

Xia Ningle lightened the strength in her hands again, and said softly: "Your Highness, it is possible that you have forgotten your identity. We agreed at the beginning that I am a singer, and I am a tool that His Highness can use until death."

The arrogance in Si Qinglian's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"In the future, don't put yourself in such a dangerous situation again." What Xia Ningle said was indeed a bit repulsive. When she said these words, she was actually quite unwilling, but there was no way, girl The Lord is the bond of this world, nothing can happen, she must be careful.

He thought so, said so, but Xia Ningle was suffering in his heart. Si Qinglian must have felt uncomfortable in exchange for several reproaches for saving someone.

"Okay, Your Highness, let's rest earlier!"

"Ok!"

After bandaging the wound, Xia Ningle fled to Chun'er to rest. Chun'er felt very strange, because Xia Ningle was by Si Qinglian's side these days. Let me go to accompany Si Qinglian.

Just far away, Chun'er didn't know what Xia Ningle and Si Qinglian were doing, and only when she got closer did she realize that Si Qinglian was injured. Si Qinglian spread a clean cotton cloth, and asked Song Yuhang for some goat milk for Si Qinglian to take care of.

"Chun'er, do you think I saved the wrong person?" Si Qinglian lay on the cotton cloth, watching the stars in the night sky, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Chun'er paused: "Your Highness is a man of gold."

"Can't you save people with a body of a thousand pieces of gold?"

Chun'er glanced at Si Qinglian's injured arm, and didn't know what to say, "It's right to save people, but His Highness's life is not only His Highness's, but we must be cautious."

Si Qinglian didn't ask any more strange questions. She closed her eyes and slept on her side, as if she didn't want to talk to anyone.She is a princess, how can she not understand some truths, but there are some things she can't help herself, the identity of a princess is to save people.

Just when Chun'er was about to take a break, she heard Si Qinglian say: "Actually... I'm not angry about being lectured by her."

It turned out that Xia Ningle had talked about her highness, that's why it became so strange, but Chun'er didn't understand, since she wasn't annoyed by Xia Ningle's preaching, why was she still so angry?

Chun'er was not easy to ask, so she put her doubts in her heart.

It was dawn, and the team rushed to Beixia Pass immediately.

On the way, Si Qinglian was still the same as before, directing when she should, occasionally looking at people out of the corner of her eye arrogantly, surrounded her in all seasons, handing water and food, she was still the high princess in the past.

From time to time, Xia Ningle's eyes would fall on the wound on Si Qinglian's arm. Last night was too dark, even with a bonfire, he couldn't see the exact depth of the wound, but looking at Si Qinglian's fresh appearance, he thought it would be fine. of.

She also felt relieved.

Not long after, the team arrived at Beixia Pass before noon. A wide and long wall connected the two sides of the cliff. The closed gate directly blocked the place. There was a camp under the wall. Most of the soldiers were in the camp, and some soldiers were in the canyon. close.

Soldiers blocked the way and drove the crowd away.

"Beixia Pass has been blocked and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"This is His Royal Highness Chang Le, the eldest princess of our dynasty. Hurry up and inform Liang Xie to pick him up!" Geng Zhi stood at the front and showed his guard's badge.

Hearing this, the soldiers rode to the camp.

Liang Xie came out in a hurry to greet him, with a respectful and respectful attitude. He looked a little fierce and had a burly body, but Xia Ningle knew that this person was actually a loyal and honest person, and because of this, this person didn't know how to change things. Under his command, he would often offend He Shikun.

Most of the soldiers in the camp were seriously practicing. Liang Xie also explained how he drilled the soldiers. Si Qinglian glanced casually, not very focused, and was already getting impatient, but Liang Xie didn't know.

Xia Ningle interrupted him and said, "General, can you prepare some horses for us? We have to leave the customs immediately and head to northern Xinjiang."

"However, the plague in northern Xinjiang is very serious. General He has ordered the final officer to close the Xia Pass according to the order of the crown prince. If there is no order from the crown prince, the final officer will not be able to open and close it privately."

After hearing what Si Qinglian said, she didn't look at Liang Xie, but instead focused on Xia Ningle, unable to see what he was thinking.

Dong'er was the first to get angry: "You reckless man, if you can listen to the crown prince's orders, why can't you listen to your highness's orders, you should prepare your horse now."

Liang Xie looked puzzled: "The prince supervises the country, and the last general will naturally listen to the prince." He lowered his head, not daring to look at Si Qinglian.

"You... Presumptuous!" Dong'er pointed at him.

Xia Ningle stopped Dong'er and said, "Since it was the crown prince's oral order, can the general receive the crown prince's token?"

"No, General He is a flying pigeon."

"Apart from blocking the gorge pass, what else can I order you to do?"

"General He asked the general to send [-] troops to exterminate the infected villagers in the fishing port. The general knew that it was taboo to send troops to the imperial city at will, so he sent [-] troops to the fishing port."

The implication is that Beixia Pass can be blocked, but Si Qinglian is the princess, Liang Xie can listen to the crown prince but not her. As for dispatching troops, there must be an imperial edict, otherwise he will be punished as a rebel.

"The general knows that the epidemic outbreak in Northern Xinjiang is not as simple as the plague. If His Highness cannot go to Northern Xinjiang to preside over the situation, maybe..."

Before Xia Ningle finished speaking, Si Qingliang interrupted her, saying: "Okay, I don't need Miss Xia to come forward." These words sounded a little angry.

She was stunned for a moment, but after she realized it, she realized that Si Qinglian was not as free and easy as usual, and what happened last night was obviously something that the other party was still thinking about, and she wanted to draw a line with Xia Ningle today.

It's really a bit childish, but Si Qinglian was only a teenager, so Xia Ningle could only laugh it off.

Suddenly, soldiers came rushing over.

"General, look over there!" The soldier pointed to the woods behind him. Black smoke was slowly rising under the hot sun, which seemed to block out the sky. Obviously, the fire was not small.

Every time Si Qinglian's team left, they used soil to put out the bonfire. This fire was not caused by the team, but judging its direction, it may be that the village they left yesterday caught fire.

"Gather 3000 people and go over there to have a look." Liang Xie looked worried, and said to Si Qinglian, "Your Highness, the plague incident will not be easy in the end. Now that northern Xinjiang is more chaotic, it is safer for Your Highness to stay here .”

It seems that Liang Xie is not stupid.

Si Qinglian took out the crown prince's badge: "Just let it go, general. Whether it's dangerous or not, I can't let the people of northern Xinjiang ignore it."

Seeing the badge, Liang Xie sighed, "Come on, open the door." He also ordered dozens of horses to be prepared for Si Qinglian.
