About five miles away in the distance, several fire dragons formed by torches were meandering towards them, converging in the same direction.
Wang Yan thought to himself that he must be chasing the sounding arrow, but he doesn¡¯t know who caused the sounding arrow? But now Wang Yan doesn't care about this. He only knows that this is definitely a great opportunity to escape from the encirclement!
"Princess, hurry up!" Wang Yan ran a few steps, but saw that Ji Chan didn't move. His voice was a little more concerned, "Princess, is there something wrong with your body?"
Ji Chan looked straight at the fire dragons and said coldly: "Who are they arresting?"
"What does this have to do with us?" A figure of Li Tai flashed across Wang Yan's mind!
Ji Chan nodded, and then said: "Let's go back!"
"What did you say? Go back!?" Wang Juan thought he was still in a state of ecstasy.
"As long as there is one percent chance that he is Li Tai, we can go back!"
Wang Juan felt a little embarrassed: "Is he so important? More important than our own lives!"
Ji Chan nodded, "Even if we die, we must ensure Li Tai's safety!"
Wang Yan felt a little irritated and said: "You can go ahead! I won't do this kind of thing that involves death!"
Ji Chan's beautiful eyes flashed coldly: "You promised me!"
"When did I promise you!" Wang Yan saw Ji Chan's expression changed, and immediately said, "Even if I promised, I only promised the princess to go to Li Tai, but I didn't say that I would die!"
Ji Chan said coldly: "You were very brave just now, but now you are as timid as a mouse! I really don't know what Zhuge Yan likes about you!"
Wang Juan was speechless for a moment, and then said: "Princess, what did you say? What did you say about Third Miss? Did you think of it yourself, or did she say it herself?"
"Huh!" Ji Chan snorted and ignored Wang Juan's question, but said, "We need to save this person. We don't have to die, we just need to light a few fires!"
Wang Yan was startled for a moment and then realized it immediately. This is a dense forest. If you light a fire, you can attract the attention of those who are surrounding you, and you can save that person's life if you can't help it.
Although do this. It would increase the risk of being exposed, and may also miss this good opportunity to escape, but judging from Ji Chan's attitude, she would not give up unless she did this.
"Okay! Let's finish it quickly and leave!" Wang Yan sighed. He had no choice but to succumb to Ji Chan's lustful power, and he didn't forget to take advantage of him.
Ji Chan didn¡¯t know if she heard the different flavor in Wang Juan¡¯s words, so she left to start a fire.
The two chose several locations and lit many fires.
It is the beginning of winter now, the wind is high and things are dry, and a single spark can start a prairie fire. After a while, the fire expanded and flames shot into the sky.
Wang Yan was about to leave after lighting the fire, but Ji Chan refused. He turned around and fled until he saw those Liao people's torches tending to move this way.
But there was no time to burn a stick of incense. The sound of hoofbeats sounded faintly from behind, and Wang Juan, regardless of dignity or taboo, pulled Ji Chan into a bush by the roadside.
The next moment, a group of seven or eight cavalrymen quickly approached and then quickly moved away.
Wang Juan and Ji Chan looked at each other with serious expressions. The Liao people even brought in cavalry. Now it was even more difficult to escape.
The two hid for a while again and continued to run. This time they did not dare to go along the road for fear of being discovered by the cavalry. Instead, they looked for some difficult paths. In order to cover their tracks, they even encountered trees and vines. On the way, the two of them did not dare to draw their swords and split, fearing that they would leave clues.
Maybe it was the end of the day, or the calm before the storm. In the next few hours, the two of them never encountered pursuers again. After walking for a while, the two finally came out of the dense forest.
Wang Yan turned around and looked at the place where he was almost buried, pointing to his thigh and gasping: "Finally escaped. Your Highness, where are we going now?"
Ji Chan also looked back at this large dense forest, but Xiang Lip whispered: "I wonder if that person escaped?"
Wang Juan felt unhappy, why did Ji Chan care about Li Tai so much. Although this woman's temperament is a bit vicious and unpredictable, she is definitely a great beauty, and after the skin-to-skin kiss, she had a strange feeling in Wang Juan's heart, so when she saw that she was so interested in other men, she felt sad in her heart. Always a little unhappy.
However, Ji Chan just said one sentence, and then said: "Let it be up to fate! Now let's find a town first!"
"Ah?" Wang Yan was a little surprised by Ji Chan's suggestion, "Go to the town? This is the north. Once you enter the town, there are countless informants from the Liao people. How can we still have it?"Is there any way to survive? If we want to be safe, we should stay out at night and day, and then cross the Yangtze River and return south as soon as possible! "
"No! When I get to the town, I can make contact with Daxia's hidden line buried in the north, and then find out about Li Tai. I will only cross the river if I am sure that Li Tai has returned south safely!"
Wang Yan became angry when he heard this, "Your Highness, why are you so persistent for him?"
Ji Chan was not angry but smiled and said: "Didn't you say that I have that kind of relationship with Li Tai? Then I ask you, if Zhuge Yan was lost and trapped in the North, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown, will you risk your life or death? Want to find her?"
"This" Wang Yan was left speechless by the question, and his heart was torn in two. Half of it was rational, telling himself that he must go back as soon as possible, and the other half was occupied by an inexplicable complex emotion, feeling that he could not Just leave Ji Chan behind.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Wang Juan compromised and agreed to take a risk, but if there was no news within three days, they would have to return south together.
Ji Chan didn¡¯t know whether it was a delaying tactic or out of sincerity, but she agreed to Wang Juan¡¯s conditions.
In the next three days, the two of them sneaked around the Northland in a strange atmosphere. They ventured into two towns and met Ji Chan's so-called informant, but they had no news about Li Tai.
During this period, Ji Chan's complexion became worse and worse. It was probably caused by the recovery from typhoid fever, the bumpy and hard work, and the depressed mood. Wang Juan tried to persuade her several times, but finally did not speak, only thinking about the third day. The evening is coming soon.
When the moonlight shone on the ground, Wang Juan and Ji Chan were still walking in the wilderness. For the sake of safety, they never stayed in the town at night.
But after walking in the dark for half an hour, Wang Juan found that he was lost.
It was not without reason that the two of them got lost. Firstly, in order to avoid being surrounded, they chose wilderness trails. Secondly, this Northland was unfamiliar to them, so they could only rely on the stars in the sky to get there. Judging the direction, but tonight happens to be a dark night.
As for the third and most important thing, Wang Juan and Ji Chan had other thoughts in their minds for a period of time before they got lost. What Wang Juan was thinking about was that the three-day appointment had come, how should he say something to Ji Chan? Ji Chan changed her mind and crossed the Yangtze River to return south, and Ji Chan was also worried. As for who and what she was thinking about, Wang Juan felt that she could guess at least 70%.
With a "pop" sound, the torches in their hands happened to burn out again.
There is boundless darkness all around.
In such a dark night with no one in sight and no shops in sight, trying to find the direction is like trying to fish the moon out of the water.
what to do?
There was no quarrel or discussion. The two were silent for a while. In the dark night, Ji Chan said: "I know what you want to say. I promise you that we have done our best. God's will is like this. How can human power change it?"
Wang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Princess, so you are willing to go back!"
"Yeah!" Ji Chan responded lightly in the darkness. It was unclear whether it was because of depression or physical exhaustion.
Wang Juan didn't care about this and said: "Let's find a place to spend the night, and then we can go south tomorrow when we know the direction!"
"good!"
After Ji Chan made the decision to return south, her mood seemed to have hit rock bottom and she was unwilling to say another word.
Does Ji Chan care about Li Tai that much? Wang Juan felt that he could not calm down, but in the end he successfully hid his emotions and began to think about how to spend tonight.
The weather is cold and it¡¯s in the wilderness. If you can¡¯t find a relatively comfortable and warm place, you won¡¯t be able to get enough rest. The journey back south is bound to be difficult and requires a lot of effort and energy, so we must have a good rest tonight.
Wang Juan, who had this thought, used his eyesight to look around the wilderness, hoping to see a little bit of fire. If there is fire, it means there is a farmhouse, and if possible, he can stay overnight.
¡°But no matter which direction Wang Yan looked, it was pitch black, and no light could be seen. It seemed that there was nothing else in the world except thick ink.
what to do?
"Your Highness, you might as well have to walk a little longer before we can find a place to rest?" Wang Juan wanted to suggest that we continue walking, but suddenly he felt a light flashing in front of him on the left, and a faint light suddenly appeared.
Ji Chan also saw the fire, looked at each other with Wang Juan, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to step forward to take a look.
The two of them followed the firelight for about as long as a cup of tea.
"ah!"
Finally seeing the source of the fire clearly, Wang Juan couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
In the sparse forest of more than 200 foreigners, there were faint flashes of firelight, and a dilapidated mountain temple appeared in front of us, and the light came from it.
It would be great to have a ruined temple where you can rest, but the fire in this temple
Both of them are bold and bold, and they are not afraid of any strong gangsters, so they go straight to the broken temple.
The two passed through the dilapidated temple gate and stood outside the main hall.
In front of the dilapidated clay statue of the mountain god, three big red candles were burning. A kind-hearted old monk with white eyebrows sat cross-legged in front of the statue, looking at him with eyes that seemed to be open and closed. He must be at least eighty years old.
When the two of them saw this and were hesitating, the monk suddenly recited: "We are guests when we meet. It's freezing outside and the two donors are here. Why are you so hesitant?"
When the old monk said this, he opened his eyes. His eyes were clearer and brighter than those of the young man, even making the candlelight in the temple lose their color.
