Wait a minute, heroine

The roar of the avalanche spread far into the mountains, and two figures flew down from the top of the snow.

The Night Terror Hall fought fiercely one after another. Although it didn't last long, it obviously consumed a lot of money. As they ran, they were panting like an ox. The black robes didn't seem to have changed much, but the blood seeping from their shoulders and chest stained their faces. Clothes.

Because of the inconvenience of his left arm, he had to carry the gun, and it was not convenient to run with someone in his arms. Ye Jingtang directly put the Queen Mother on his right shoulder, holding his hand around the crook of his leg, like a bandit trying to snatch his little wife.

The Queen Mother was lying on her shoulder, and the branches were shaking wildly, but she couldn't care about it at this time. She turned around and saw the shocking wound on Ye Jingtang's shoulder. She was so frightened that her face was as pale as paper and she said incoherently:

"Night Terror Hall...you..."

Ye Jingtang's injuries were not fatal, but they could not be said to be minor. He received a splitting blow on his shoulder and a wound deep enough to show the bone. He also received a blow on his chest. If it hadn't been for the tyrannical effect of Bathing on Fire to stop the bleeding, such a high-load sprint would have been impossible. , I'm afraid they have lost too much blood.

Because the nerves had not relaxed after the bloody battle, the pain was actually not strong, and Ye Jingtang still looked quite calm. Seeing that the Queen Mother was frightened and crying, he comforted her:

"I'm fine. I have a picture of bathing in fire. I'll bandage it later and it'll be fine in a few days."

"It's my fault……"

The Queen Mother showed deep guilt in her eyes. She wanted to raise her hand to cover her bleeding shoulder, but she couldn't reach it when she was lying behind her back.

As soon as she moved, Ye Jingtang noticed that her full buttocks were rubbing against her face. The hug was a little unstable, so he casually slapped her buttocks with the barrel of a gun:

Pa~

"Don't move."

"..."

The Queen Mother was obedient and immediately stopped moving.

Rumble——

The snow covered the sky and the ground slid down for nearly two miles before gradually reaching the end of Qiannu.

Jiang Zahu took his family back over the mountains and ridges, and camped in a col on the north slope to rest at night.

Ye Jingtang ran to the top of the mountain col and found that the avalanche gradually stopped and could not slide into the camp below. He was secretly relieved and his speed also slowed down.

Jiang Zahu just arrived near Hidden Dragon Ridge last night. He was sleeping when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting on the mountain. He ran over and found that Ye Jingtang was fighting two Wu Kui in a one-on-one fight. He still hadn't figured out the situation yet. At this time, he turned back ask:

"Master Ye, what happened just now?"

Night Terror Hall panting like a cow responded:

"King Zuo Xian arranged for Xi Tianshang to take revenge. Duan Shengji may have discovered my identity in Honghualou and came to eradicate the roots. The two of them bumped into each other somehow..."

Seeing that Ye Jingtang's injury was serious, Jiang Zahu didn't say much. After flying to the mountain col, he brought Ye Jingtang to the old wizard Han Ting.

Although the avalanche did not slide down, the sound of landslides and ground cracks still frightened more than a dozen people in the camp. They all ran to the higher reaches of the hillside to hide and waited until Jiang Zahu came back before turning back.

Ye Jingtang was helped by the Queen Mother into the temporary tent, and the old wizard Han Ting began to treat the wounds. He also talked about what happened in Langxuan City.

Han Ting is the old imperial master of the Northwest Royal Court. After hearing about Sima Yue's rebellion and even Ye Jingtang's talk to Wan Bu, he felt a lot and expressed a lot of his own opinions.

To sum it up, it's probably this - what Sima Yue said before his death is correct. The northwest has a large output of minerals and medicinal materials, but the vast territory and sparse population are scarce in daily necessities. As long as there is trouble, various ministries will start hoarding food to protect themselves, not knowing how to preserve selfishly. Tribes with strength cannot be passed down at all. For this reason, they can only share wealth and wealth, but cannot share hardships. This is where the Qinchi tribe fell.

If you want to change, you can't follow the old path of King Tianlang. You have to use the power of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to completely regain the tribes in the West Sea, suppress the clan forces and split them into states and counties, and concentrate the power in the hands of the court. Then the north and the south can allocate resources to solve it once and for all. The problems of the tribes in the Western Sea.

Ye Jingtang felt that these words made sense, but he was not good at them. He just took note of them carefully and told the empress when he went back later to let professionals do these professional things.

The Queen Mother stayed in front of him and couldn't bear to look at the bloody wounds. She silently helped wash the hot towel and wipe away the blood.

Niao Niao hadn't gotten off work yet. After flying down from the mountain, he followed his two apprentices and ran up the mountain to find the lost horse. After all, the big white horse was not only expensive. If it fell to death or was buried by an avalanche, Night Terror Hall wouldn't care. Know where to find one and return it.

After the wounds were simply treated, Ye Jingtang got up and left, coming to a tent behind the station.

——

After working hard in the middle of the night, the eastern sky was already dim, and a faint golden glow could be seen vaguely.

Ye Jingtang entered the tent and sat down on the floor. The stern expression on his face immediately disappeared, and he took a slight breath:

"Hey...I'm going..."

"Eh?"

The Queen Mother followed behind and saw that Ye Jingtang's robe was torn due to the treatment of injuries, with half of his shoulders exposed, so she wanted to find a blanket and put it on. Seeing Feng Qingyun Dan's night terror, he suddenly twitched and trembled with fright. He quickly knelt down next to him and wanted to turn around and call the doctor.

Ye Jingtang quickly pressed the Queen Mother's shoulders:

"No, no, it's just a little painful and I can't hold it in. It doesn't matter."

The Queen Mother was dubious. She wanted to see the injury but didn't dare to touch it. She just picked up the quilt and put it on Ye Jingtang's back:

"Why are you holding back the pain? I thought you were fine... If I had known that I would be practicing martial arts in the palace, if I practiced hard, I would definitely be better than Shui'er now, and I wouldn't be just a hindrance... "

The Empress Dowager's talent is definitely not bad, and her foundation and teacher training are not to mention, it is just that she neglects to practice, which makes her look weak.

However, Ye Jingtang still didn't believe that he surpassed the real person Xuanji. Of course, he didn't refute the Queen Mother, he just said:

"It's never too late to learn kung fu. The talent and age determine whether the martial arts path will be smooth or not, but it is not everything about martial arts. In the past, there were cripples, blind people, etc. in the martial arts world. They relied on the breath of their hearts to practice, and the disabled body and mind were strong. Became a great master..."

While the two were talking, there was a noise outside the tent.

Ye Jingtang paused for a moment and returned to his calm demeanor. He turned around and saw the tent opened, and an unknown daughter-in-law came in holding two sets of clothes:

"Sister-in-law from the Jiang family asked me to bring it to you. If it doesn't fit you, tell me anytime and I'll change it for you."

"Oh, thanks."

The Queen Mother quickly took over the clean clothes and nodded her thanks. After the young daughter-in-law went out, she turned around, looked at the thick clothes, and then wanted to help Ye Jingtang untie her belt:

"Hurry up and change your clothes..."

It was definitely impossible for Ye Jingtang to let the Queen Mother serve him. Seeing that half of her body was covered in blood, he said:

"I'll go out and change, and I'll take off my clothes too."

But before he could get up, he was held down.

The Queen Mother didn't want to be exposed to the cold wind outside at night. She wanted to go out and change by herself.

But there are only a few temporary tents in the camp, and it is impossible for each person to have a separate room. The tent she is living in has just been vacated. There is not even a small forest on the mountain. She cannot stand in the middle of the camp to change clothes.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, then turned around:

"It's so cold outside, what are you doing out there? Just change here, just don't look at it."

It was not easy for Ye Jingtang to stand in front of the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law to change clothes, so she didn't insist on it at the moment. She turned around, went back to back with the Queen Mother, and untied her belt:

"That's a shame, Madam."

"Why are you being wronged? I am the one who wronged you. I have somehow caused you to suffer such a serious crime..."

"What is supposed to come will always come, and it has nothing to do with the empress..."

The Queen Mother originally wanted to wait for Ye Jingtang to finish changing, but she didn't want to be too squeamish and let Ye Jingtang bother again. After a moment of hesitation, she also untied her belt:

"Don't look back, I'll change too."

"Well……"

As he spoke, he unfolded his lapels, revealing a light golden bellyband embroidered with a phoenix. However, because of the large curvature of his chest, he naturally turned into a fat phoenix, which probably weighed several kilograms.

When Ye Tingtang saw that the Queen Mother was also changing her clothes, she naturally didn't say anything. She put on her trousers in a few seconds and sat on the same spot with her blanket on her back. She didn't dare to turn around and looked around casually. Suddenly she noticed that there was a candle on the ground beside her. The slanted shadow cast by the fire.

Shadow straightened his upper body slightly, put his hands behind his back, and pulled away the tether. Then the tightly fitting fabric loosened, revealing a figure like an upside-down jade bowl...

? !

Ye Jingtang coughed silently and moved his eyes to the other side.

Rustling, rustling...

The Queen Mother didn't wear much, but it was a bit cumbersome. After unbuttoning her top, there was a pleated skirt underneath, and there was a leg ring on the right thigh with a dagger stuck in it.

The dagger is called 'Feng Dan' and is a birthday gift from Master Xuanji. Naturally, it means to embolden the Queen Mother to defend herself.

But the Queen Mother basically used it to peel fruits, and the leg rings were tied a bit high. If something happened in the summer, the effect of pulling out the dagger would be no less than the gangster's excitement punch.

The Queen Mother first untied her leg rings, and then took off her thin pants. The tent was suddenly filled with white flowers, and the light from the candlelight became a little brighter.

She picked up the dress she had changed into, took out the folded bellyband from inside, looked at it briefly, and said unexpectedly:

"Jiangzhou's ingredients are quite particular..."

Ye Jingtang forgot about the pain in his shoulder and responded casually:

"The wife of the gang leader of the Hongshan Gang, if you put her in the world, she would be considered a figure whose legs would be weak even if she coughed. It is not unusual for her to be particular about food and clothing."

"Um……"

The Queen Mother unfolded her brand new bellyband, put it on her chest and made some gestures. She was measuring the size. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Mrs. Chiang's call:

"Niuniu! Come back!"

The Queen Mother shrank in shock, and quickly pulled up the quilt next to her to wrap herself up. She found that the quilt couldn't be pulled away, so she turned around and rolled in, and then there was a "bang~" sound!

Ye Jingtang had injuries on his shoulders and arms. He had no clothes on and was wrapped in a quilt.

There were footsteps outside, and he wanted to raise his hand to pull the curtain, but his right shoulder felt warm and a cloud of fragrant wind hit him directly.

? !

Ye Jingtang froze and turned to look at the Queen Mother in disbelief, only to see that the Queen Mother was also looking at him with her eyes wide open.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, the Queen Mother reacted first, but instead of separating, she tucked her snow-white legs into the quilt, and huddled close to Ye Jingtang, tightly fitting together.

At this time, the tent curtain was opened a little, and a fat girl's head came in, looked around, and asked:

"Brother, where is your big fat bird?"

It looked like Jiang Zahu's daughter had just gotten up in the morning. When she heard him coming, she disobeyed and ran over to play with the birds.

Ye Jingtang's face turned red for some reason, but his expression remained as usual and he smiled:

"I'm going out to look for horses. When I come back later, I'll ask Niaoniao to find you."

"Thank you... Ouch~"

Before the fat girl finished speaking, a hand reached in, grabbed the ear and pulled the person out, and then said a lecture:

"You want to rebel, right? Run away if you're not careful. How did your father teach you?"

"Mom, I was wrong..."

…

Naturally, the two people in the tent had no intention of listening to these words.

Ye Jingtang sat upright, not daring to move. He only felt a warm sensation on the right side of his body, and the touch of smooth skin was transmitted to his body without reservation.

In order to completely cover her body, the Queen Mother put her left hand through the Night Terror Hall to hug her back, her right hand held the quilt in front of her to protect her, and her cheek rested on her shoulder. And the broad mind, half-folded with arms, must be crushed.

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth, maybe because he was a little too stimulated, and he didn't know what to say.

The Queen Mother's face turned as red as blood. After the fat girl left, her eyes began to flicker. She wanted to separate but didn't dare to move, so that the tent was almost still.

"Um……"

Ye Jingtang held it in for a moment and felt that the wound was about to burst. He pretended to be calm and said with a smile:

"Haha, this girl is quite naughty... Your Majesty, are you not frightened?"

The Queen Mother's mind went blank, her face was red and dripping with blood, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes. After holding it in for a long time, she said in a voice like a mosquito:

"I...I'm fine. You...just turn around."

"oh."

Ye Jingtang closed his eyes and turned his head to the other side. Then he felt the soft touch on his arm. He slowly let go and Xiangruan slid out from his side.

The Queen Mother was still angry, so she carefully got out of the quilt, put on the tight bellyband, and then put on her thin pants, then she took a breath and whispered:

"Well... I am the Queen Mother, the mother of a country. Please don't talk about today's events, otherwise I... No, don't keep it in your heart. Is it an accident? Just pretend that nothing happened..."

Ye Jingtang looked a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said:

"Of course I know this. I'm just afraid that the Queen Mother will remember it in her heart and live in a deep palace in the future. She won't be able to think about it..."

The Queen Mother paused slightly. She wanted to say that she wouldn't take it to heart, but wasn't this a lie?

She bit her lower lip lightly and didn't say anything. She just put on her clothes and sat down again:

"alright."

Ye Jingtang looked back and made sure that the Queen Mother was neatly dressed before turning around:

"It's almost dawn. I haven't slept well these past few days. Let's catch up on some sleep. I'll be on guard duty."

The Queen Mother's mind was filled with the contact just now, and the blush on her face could not go away, but her expression was very motherly. She patted the pillow:

"You have just been seriously injured. Get some rest quickly. I'm not sleepy, so why should I sleep?"

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't insist. He lay down on the floor and closed his eyes to rest.

The Queen Mother sat sideways in front of her, looked at Ye Jingtang who looked peaceful, then turned her back and sat hugging her knees, her eyes flickering.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was inexplicably weird...

——

On the other side, thousands of miles away.

The horse team protects the frame and travels thousands of miles through the Gobi desert at a much slower pace.

Dongfang Liren set off with his team, and then entered Blackstone Pass and returned to Honghe Town.

In the early morning, outside the escort office in the old town, several court experts were patrolling outside the wall.

Dongfang Liren got up early and stood at the window of the room where his employer settled accounts, looking in the distance towards Hongshan.

Baifa listened to Meng Jiao standing behind him, holding the information collected by Hei Yamen in his hand, saying:

"According to the spies' report, a protector from Beiliang Qianjimen seems to have entered the border from Yazhou recently. The purpose is still unclear...

"The news about Langxuan City reached the Beiliang court, and the reaction was huge. I estimate that Beiliang will definitely send people to assassinate Ye Jingtang, otherwise the tribes in the West Sea will be a huge hidden danger, and they will never be stable..."

After Dongfang Liren listened for a while, he turned back and asked:

"How is the investigation on Duanbei Cliff going?"

"The mine of scaly steel is controlled by General Wang's nephew. He has been doing well in recent years. I guess he is Duanbeiya. He took advantage of his apprenticeship and bribed the warehouse manager."

"How many people are related to Duanbeiya and serve in the Yazhou Army?"

"There are quite a lot of people, but most of them are in low-level military positions. There are six people in the middle-level generals, and there are no high-level officers. Even if they are all hidden, they won't be able to cause too much trouble..."

Duanbeiya is a martial arts sect that excels in gun and stick skills, but cannot teach military tactics. The disciples join the army and start as petty officials, but their upper limit is only middle-level generals. What the commander requires is that he can march and fight. It doesn't matter whether an individual knows martial arts. Jianghu warriors have no advantage in this regard.

The generals in charge of various armies are basically monopolized by military families, such as the Wang family, Jiangzhou Qin family, the former Liangzhou Fu family, etc. Outsiders may not be able to command the troops.

After listening to the situation, Dongfang Liren thought for a while and said: "Don't let the wind go out first, so as not to scare the snake. When the matter of Duanbeiya is found out, these people will be cleaned up, and those who have problems will be dealt with according to the law, and those who have no problems will be dealt with." Heading to Tiannan. Even if you can't interfere with the military power, it is still a big trouble to assassinate important generals with hidden stakes..."

"yes……"

…

In the compound of the Escort Agency, several chief officers who got up early were doing morning exercises.

In the middle of the courtyard, there are stone locks, wooden figures and other objects used by Ye Jingtang before. Iron-armed Wuchang She Long held the stone locks in one hand and commented while rising and falling:

"The total is only eighty kilograms. Master Ye can use these things to become a martial arts master?"

Shang Jianli was beating the wooden man next to him and said:

"Master Ye relies on his understanding, not his stubbornness. The heavier the stone lock, the higher the martial arts. The number one in the world should be Tu Jiuji. He has more meat than three of you..."

"That's true..."

…

In the center of the yard, there was a large iron pot with a fire burning underneath and iron sand inside. It was originally used by She Long to practice martial arts.

At this time, the little heroine dressed up as Zhe Yunli rolled up her sleeves, stepped into a horse stance beside her, raised her breath with both hands, and looked like she was preparing to stir-fry iron sand.

Pei Xiangjun stood beside him holding a big gun, a little funny, and whispered:

"There is an old saying in the world, 'Put on the thickest armor and get the hardest beating.' It's OK for a thick-skinned person to bully ordinary people, but when you meet a master, you'll basically get beaten on one side. You'd better learn to shoot with your aunt, who is a professional It’s not good to treat anything that’s flashy, has fine skin or tender flesh, and your hands are covered with calluses.”

Zhe Yunli suddenly wanted to practice She Long's "Double Buddha Arms" because when he came back, he saw She Long being bored and teasing the wild dogs in the town. He specifically extended his arms to be bitten by the wild dogs. Then the wild dogs took one bite and shut down on the spot. !

She thought this kung fu was so overbearing and wanted to learn it and try it.

But horizontal kung fu is an absolutely hard skill. After mastering it, you will definitely be big and thick, and you will be slapped with two rough and fleshy palms. It really does not look good on a little girl.

After Zhe Yunli gestured aggressively for a long time, he felt that getting married was more important than teasing wild dogs. For this reason, he returned the iron pot to She Long and ran to Aunt Pei to demonstrate his marksmanship:

"My wife said that top masters all use swords."

"What do you know, my master's wife? I no longer carry weapons, so I only carry a sword with me. What I carry is not a weapon, but a 'gentleman's weapon'. It can kill people and also alert myself. If you, my master's wife, bring a sword, you can All we have to do is remind ourselves to stop fighting with force."

"Eh~ If the master's wife hears this, she will be so angry that she won't be able to eat for three days... I think the knife is more powerful."

"The same goes for swords. In the last years of the Great Yan Dynasty, the heroes in the imperial city were fighting. Those leaders and saints were shouting loudly. As a result, the weapons that appeared were longer than the last. Kuang Yazi was a real person. He really wanted to fight with a sword. I went in, but was shot three times and was almost crippled. I took off my clothes and barely escaped..."

"Is there still this matter?"

"uh-huh……"

…

Inside the door with the words "Glacier Escort Agency" hanging on it, Xuanji, the real person, was wearing a white dress, sitting on the steps, drinking her morning wine slowly.

Fan Qinghe, dressed as an exotic beauty, sat beside him, holding his face with his hands, looking at the distant west.

After the incident in Langxuan City was over, the Queen Mother fainted. As the goddess doctor, Fan Qinghe was supposed to accompany her, but there was only one good horse and could not carry three people, so she, Prince Jing and others followed.

Before leaving, Granny Gui once told her that Ye Jingtang had helped various ministries a lot and had the ability and courage to lead them. She asked her to maintain a good relationship so as not to become estranged over time, and also to establish a good relationship with Nanchao.

Fan Qinghe was used to wandering outside, and he was also very grateful to Ye Jingtang. He could come out and run around with him impartially, so he naturally had no objections, but there was a witch beside Ye Jingtang who couldn't keep her clean!

Fan Qinghe had just looked into the distance for a moment when Master Xuanji next to him asked:

"He He, what are you looking at? Do you miss a man?"

Fan Qinghe came back to his senses, frowned and said:

"What man do I want?"

Master Xuanji raised her slender eyebrows: "You were in Langxuan City a few days ago, hugging Night Terror Hall and crying, thinking that afterward you pretended it didn't happen and the matter would be over?"

Fan Qinghe did hug her, but it was as a thank you, and he didn't feel it was inappropriate in his heart. When he saw Master Xuanji teasing her about this matter, he said confidently:

"So what if I hugged you? You haven't hugged me?"

"..."

Master Xuanji was stunned for a moment and sat up straight for a moment:

"Have I hugged you?"

"That's it, why are you teasing a little girl like a married woman who has never been hugged by a man?"

Master Xuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his casual look, and said casually:

"Seven emotions and six desires are human nature. I am afraid that you will be hindered by secular etiquette and do not dare to do what you want, so I will give you some advice."

"I need your advice?"

When Fan Qinghe said this, he became interested and asked again:

"Speaking of which, you are so coquettish, have you really never even hugged a man?"

"..."

Master Xuanji was not easy to answer this question, so the fairy stood up slowly and said:

"Idiot."

Then he walked to the backyard.

Not to mention, Fan Qinghe was really frightened by the appearance of a magic stick who had seen through the world of mortals and gained great enlightenment.

Fan Qinghe held it in for a long time and refused to answer. He began to secretly wonder if the demon girl's teasing just now had a deeper meaning...

…

Thank you [Touching Flower,] for the reward from the leader!
