Even though the assassin disrupted the situation, this troublesome ritual was

    over anyway.After another two days of rest in Lingjue Zen Temple, it was the day to

    return.Before leaving, the beauty artist took another pulse for me; then he talked

    with Yan Ke in a low voice; I couldn''t hear them clearly, only that the latter

    looked worried—could it be that What''s wrong with my body?But these days, except that the physique is weaker than ordinary people, I

    don''t feel any uncomfortable...When I was puzzled, I saw Jiang Zhuo leading the horse and slowly walking into

    the convoy—my eyes followed her involuntarily, and watched her straighten up

    the saddle without blinking, turning on the horse neatly and neatly; Er

    sprayed his nose, and then planed his hoof.She smiled lightly and patted the horse''s neck to show her intimacy. The horse

    was so spiritual that she shook her mane as if responding.This person-by-horse interaction made me almost stunned.However, what shocked me the most was the faint smile at the corner of Jiang

    Zhuo''s mouth. I was afraid that he could not smile at the horse as well as at

    me... I couldn''t help being a little bit jealous of the horse.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It is absurd to say that the dignified prince is no better than a mount.——Well, who taught me that I can’t control my heart?Suddenly, the figure riding on the horse felt my gaze, holding the rein,

    turning his head to look.I didn''t have time to dodge, and I made a direct gaze with her, blushing and

    heartbeat immediately, so nervous that I couldn''t know what to do-what should

    I do? Peeping at someone and got caught... Does she, does she think I''m a

    voyeur? Or do you think I am plotting against her?Although, I do have such a little bit of unpleasant thoughts about her...In desperation, I didn’t know where my strength came from. I actually gave up

    my feet and didn’t wait for the attendant to help me. I climbed onto the

    carriage with my hands and feet and quickly got into the carriage-temporarily

    isolating the person from it. My eyesight also prevents more people from

    seeing me blushing.If Yan Ke found out and thought I had some symptoms, maybe he would

    immediately take me back to bed and force me to rest, and cancel the return

    trip.Stabilizing the steady and pounding heartbeat, I sat down in the carriage.After waiting for a while, he couldn''t help but lifted the curtain up a gap,

    squinting his eyes and quietly following the figure of the man.After searching for a while, but I didn''t see her, I anxiously opened the car

    curtain halfway, but to no avail.--how so? Could it be that she has already set off first?But, as my guard, she should be by my side all the time, how can she... leave

    me...After the anxiety was over, the loss spread, I sighed, and silently lowered

    the curtain: That''s right, this guard job was originally imposed on her by me,

    and it was natural for her to be unwilling to cooperate."What is your Royal Highness looking for?" When I was feeling down, I heard a

    familiar female voice faintly sounded.I suddenly lifted the driving curtain, and saw that the people who could not

    be found everywhere were riding a horse, waiting happily on the side of the

    carriage, pulling the reins in one hand, and combing the horse''s mane

    carelessly in the other— I couldn''t see any emotions when I glanced over, but

    the corners of my lips naturally curled out, like a wave of soft and clear

    spring water, which taught me to be stunned."No, nothing..." After finally finding my voice, I opened my eyes in annoyance

    and replied casually."So, the subordinates retire." After hearing this, she didn''t stop much,

    urging the horse to the front of the team."Hmm..." I watched her back go away, but the words she kept were in her

    throat, and in the end it just turned into a sigh.——Tossing and turning when I can’t see her, thinking about it, worrying about

    what trouble she will encounter, and tasting her mind about other things,

    forgetting herself; but when I really want to see her, I am too shy and dare

    not live with her. How close I was, for fear that it would leak the thoughts I

    shouldn''t have, and annoy her... Such repeated contradictory moods can only be

    tasted by me alone, and I can''t tell anyone.After the convoy left the Lingjue Temple, Yan Ke ordered a rest on the spot.I was wondering when I saw her getting into the carriage with a young guard;

    when I saw the body of the guard, I knew it-I''m afraid it''s the so-called

    stand-in again.Sending out the small cicada, the guard took off his clothes, and Yan Ke

    dragged a bag from the dark side of the carriage, lowered his voice and said

    to me: "Although I have already poisoned my Royal Highness. When the news of

    the aggrieved person is released, it is difficult to keep those who are

    willing to see it through. For the present plan, the soldiers are still

    divided into two groups. I will arrange another three groups of troops as a

    guise, starting from different directions, and the wronged Highness will

    pretend to be a guard. Leaving with the second team... I don''t expect your

    opponents to guess your whereabouts."Yan Ke’s plan is indeed meticulous. It’s me. Even if she guesses, she will

    split up in two ways. At most, she will focus on the last group of troops, but

    she can’t predict that the rest of the troops will be blindfolds. The real

    team is hidden. In the middle wave, God avoided it unconsciously."Aunt Ke, how many people have been sent to attract attention this time?"

    After changing the clothes of the guards, I checked the contents of my bag and

    asked."Counting you, there are twelve in total," she said."That''s three people in each group?" I shook my head and did not approve of

    her arrangement. "It doesn''t have to be the case. According to the king, two

    people are enough... As for the guards of the king, Aunt Ke thinks , How about

    Guard Jiang?""This...I meant to send Bingyi and Bingsi to follow Your Highness," she

    frowned, but then compromised under my slightly pleading gaze, "Well, the left

    and right sides are just a cover, and the real protection of your Highness is

    hidden. Hands in the dark."——I breathed a sigh of relief, with a gesture of success in my heart: In order

    to achieve my goal, I also spared my face and used coquettish methods. If I

    didn''t succeed, I would despise myself.However, when he thought of acting alone with Jiang Zhuo, he felt excited and

    nervous in his heart. In addition to this nervousness, there was also a bit of

    indescribable shyness.The guard stayed in the carriage instead of me, and I got out of the carriage

    with my baggage on my back, looking around for Jiang Zhuo''s figure.Not long after, the two horses came out more and more from behind the convoy

    and left. After they left, they saw Jiang Zhuo riding the maroon horse, and

    the guard on the other side also led a horse. A tall horse with a pure white

    coat came towards me.Although I don''t know about Xiangma, I also know that this is a wonderful

    horse.It''s a pity that at this moment I suddenly remembered an overlooked key-I

    can''t ride a horse.Most girls have had the dream of Prince Charming. If they had the opportunity

    to ride a white horse, they would have been half fulfilled... But the reality

    before me taught me helpless.Seeing that my face was embarrassed, the guard explained carefully: "This wind

    and snow is already the best horse we have brought out on this trip, and it''s

    docile, with very few scumbags..."——Does she take my hesitation as a disgust?How can I tell her that I don''t know how to ride a horse.This is the end of the matter, and I have to bite the bullet and get on the

    horse... I just hope that this horse is really a good horse with gentle

    temperament, as she said.With the help of the guard, I got on the horse tremblingly. I firmly tightened

    the rein, but I didn’t dare to let people see the fear in my heart. Jiang Zhuo

    gave me a fixed look, shaking the rein, his legs knocked the horse''s belly

    lightly. , Urging the horse to trot forward.I followed her, and knocked the horse''s belly lightly, and the horse

    obediently stepped forward and followed the previous horse.——Actually, it is not difficult.Overcoming the initial fear, I jolted along with the horse''s ups and downs,

    and gradually mastered the balance.It''s just that the ease has disappeared under the horse''s faster and faster

    speed."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

    The sound is nowhere near the sound of my increasingly rapid heartbeat. If

    this continues, I am afraid that I will either fall off the horse and die, or

    I will die suddenly due to an overburdened heart.When he was almost desperate, a warm embrace was suddenly attached to his

    back, and the speed of the horse running under him was reduced a little bit

    until he resumed his initial jogging.Before I got back to my senses, I heard an indifferent voice floating softly

    into my ears: "Calm down, it''s okay." I don''t know if it was my illusion, the

    voice seemed to contain a smile."Whhhhhhh..." I opened my eyes cautiously, and looked back—it was Jiang Zhuo

    as expected."Maybe Your Highness has never learned riding?" When I gradually returned to

    my normal breathing rate, she asked casually."Uh, I have learned and learned some, but I haven''t practiced for a long time.

    Some are...unfamiliar." Kuang Xihan can ride a horse, and I can only rejoice

    that I have been some distance away from the team now, and no one else has

    seen the embarrassment before— —By the way, not counting those hidden guards

    hiding somewhere."So... just to prevent any accidents, please share a ride with your

    subordinates." Her hands passed through my waist, clutching the reins,

    although they were only vainly, they seemed to hold me in my arms. The same."Okay, okay..." As the white horse jolted forward, his swaying body always

    touched inadvertently. Even with two layers of clothing, the friction between

    the back and the opponent''s chest still made my scalp numb, as if there was a

    thin thread. The silver needles, like cow''s hairs, ran across my spine,

    trembling endlessly.——Despite being shy, the opportunity to have such close contact with her is as

    slim as a feather, so why would I refuse?Even if it is a dream, I hope this dream will last longer, and don''t wake up

    until we return to Guanlan, the imperial capital.
