Eighty-four, malicious escort
Helian Ruoyu and Tuxi sat on one side of the long table, sandwiched Ling Xi in the middle, and stared at each other coldly.
Jiulang smiled bitterly and advised: "Class leader, don't do this, you should say it quickly."
"What should I say? I have nothing to say." Helian Ruoyu turned his head and looked out the window.
"Now that the army of the Caveng Kingdom is backed by you, do you still think you can deal with the people of the royal court and Eliluos? Are you really stupid or fake? Why do I want to block this knife for you, you don't know?" Tuxi persuaded him by pressing the unhealed wound on his shoulder.
"I don't know anything, don't ask. Even if I know, it's something we must never spread and cannot tell you." Helian Ruoyu still refused unmoved.
"What are you talking about?" Ling Xi was confused and asked after hearing the two of them.
Both women looked a little taboo and were unwilling to speak. Seeing their attitude, Ling Xi stood up and left: "Since you didn't tell me what you mean, I'm sorry I won't accompany you. There is no need for you to use like a fool."
The two women said in a panic: "Wait!" It seems that they are unwilling to let Ling Xi leave.
Ling Xi turned around, looked at the two girls, and waited for them to speak.
"They want our family to plant life-extending grass according to their teachings." Helian Ruoyu sighed: "Our family also declined because of this."
"Since that's the case, you can just hand it over, why should you be forced to this level?" Ling Xi then questioned.
"But I really don't know. I've been in charge of the family for only three years, and that method has long been lost." Helian Ruoyu clenched his hand unwillingly: "If I had the ability and ability to stop it, how could so many tribe members die in vain?"
Jiulang's eyes flashed with dullness when he heard this, and he lowered his head in guilt.
"No matter what, we have to follow you. Even if Ming Zai's prince can't get it, Eliluus will never get it." Tuxi said tactfully: "If you don't want it, we will kidnap you."
Helian Ruoyu turned his expectant eyes to Ling Xi, wanting him to speak for him. Ling Xi sighed helplessly. He could not deal with the group of heavy armored soldiers in the spiritual cultivation realm outside, so it was useless to see him.
"Senior Lin Yi." Tu Xi took the word Lin Yi very seriously: "I know you don't like us like this, but we are really helpless, please forgive me."
"How did you follow me?" Ling Xi looked out the window and asked the soldiers guarding the restaurant.
"That's thanks to the one beside you." Tuxi laughed twice, as if it was involved in the wound on her shoulder, and her eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Ling Xi looked at Jiulang when she heard this. Before Ling Xi could question it, Jiulang confessed: "I left a trace all the way and let Tu Xi follow him."
"Why do you do this?" Helian Ruoyu asked in surprise, unwilling to believe that it was her tribe members who betrayed her.
Jiulang's Adam's apple moved, and knelt down to Helian Ruoyu regardless of the injuries on his body and said, "Please! If you don't have the protection of the Ming Zai prince along the way, it will be difficult for you to return to our clan. Even if you have Senior Lin Yi here, he will be unable to defeat four hands with both fists. If you can't protect you, then our entire Helian family will be finished."
The old wound on his chest broke open and dyed his chest red. Helian Ruoyu's expression changed slightly, and he bent down to help him up.
"If you don't agree, I won't get up! Let me die here!" Jiulang shouted stubbornly.
Ling Xi stepped forward and slashed Jiulang's neck with a knife, knocked him out, and helped him on the chair. Tuxi took out a healing pill and handed it to Ling Xi, and asked at Helian Ruoyu: "Do you still don't want it?"
Ling Xi took the healing pill and recognized it as a Gen-level pill, and fed it to Jiulang. Jiulang's face immediately became much rosy, and the wound on his chest stopped and began to heal.
"Think about how he was so seriously injured." Ling Xi's light words finally moved Helian Ruoyu who was hesitant.
Helian Ruoyu finally gave up his prejudice and agreed to Tuxi: "Yes."
Tuxi looked happy and immediately greeted: "Let's go immediately and hurry to your clan overnight."
Late at night, dozens of blood-colored war horses galloped in the desert, forming a long line, rushing towards the end of the horizon.
Helian Ruoyu rode on the bumpy horse back, forcing himself to cheer up, and looked at the bright night sky with longing eyes. There were countless dazzling stars in the starry night, hanging in the sky, moving in an orderly manner according to the rules it should have.
"I'm missing home?" Ling Xi's horse rushed forward and asked.
"I'm wondering, why do people like you, be willing to wander alone for a lifetime?" Helian Ruoyu asked thoughtfully.
"The heart embraces all rivers and the chest embraces the sea. You can see the changes of all things in the world in the world, so you will naturally not feel lonely. Besides, how do you know that I am lonely?" Ling Xi thought for a while and responded, not knowing why she suddenly thought of asking herself this question.
"You are just like him, but you are unwilling to admit this. Do you not know whether you are lonely or not?" Helian Ruoyu curled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Why do you always mention that person, a man who meets by chance, you have to worry about for so many years. A woman with a status like you must find someone who is a perfect match for her identity."
"I wish I could say frankly that for so many years, except him, no man I have ever seen is worthy of me. You are not worthy of me either." Helian Ruoyu smiled half-jokingly, and the smile that bloomed in an instant even Ling Xi, who had always been uninterested in other women, was lost for a few breaths.
The stinging sensation came from the Qilin pattern on the right arm, which pierced the heart, and then pulled Ling Xi's consciousness back.
Ling Xi suddenly became afraid of Helian Ruoyu and did not dare to look at her face again. He turned his head and said, "I am guarding you from the side, concentrating on the road, don't think too much."
Ling Xi's horse fell down to Helian Ruoyu for a while, and an armored soldier suddenly reached out to Ling Xi and handed a letter.
Ling Xi took it and looked at the armored soldier in confusion. The armored soldier glanced at Tu Xi, indicating that it was her letter, and then he retreated.
Ling Xi opened the letter and saw only a few words inside. Tu Xi pointed his hand and burned the letter in Ling Xi's hand. Ling Xi was puzzled by Tu Xi's actions, so why did it cause such trouble?
"Ling Xi, Helian Ruoyu has been staring at you with his soul just now. After I noticed it, I took it back. It was very cunning."
Ling Xi suddenly realized and recalled the contents of the letter. Tuxi's meaning was probably to say that Helian Ruoyu had a deep relationship with Eliluos, so that Ling Xi would not trust her easily.
Tuxi warned Ling Xi repeatedly, not to let Ling Xi believe Helian Ruoyu, probably his own plans are included.
"Ling Xi, I think she is right. Helian Ruoyu's scheming is deeper than you think. If you knew her before, it may not mean that she will not change in the past few years." Xiao Ling was also dissuading her, not wanting Ling Xi to approach Helian Ruoyu again.
"Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Ling Xi knew Helian Ruoyu's personality quite well. Although she was a little more scheming, she could not hide her innocence.
A woman without power found a passerby based on her feelings, and was unwilling to escape, and was still trying to poison the prince of a dignified empire. This is not naive.
If Ling Xi hadn't sacrificed his life to save her so many times, Helian Ruoyu would have been refined into a pill by the Taoist priest beside the little prince.
Ling Xi believed that her innocence was still there, but she was still her. But I don’t know what she had plans this time, and wanted to protect her tribe members.
Ling Xi nodded to Tuxi and signaled that he knew. In any case, Tuxi represents the most powerful force in the Western Regions. With this group of people protecting him, Ling Xi can rest along the way.
Tuxi guessed from Helian Ruoyu's previous words that Ling Xi and her relationship should be unusual. Seeing Ling Xi responding, she was still worried and turned around to the guard beside her, saying, "Look at Lin Yi and try not to let him contact Helian Ruoyu. There is also that seriously injured boy. He is ours, try to protect him."
Jiulang was carried at the end and quietly left some white powder and mixed it into the desert, without anyone noticing it.
The sun is bright and the scorching sun makes the sand pale. Behind a small sand slope outside an orange-yellow sand and gravel city.
"Fire!" Several people shouted in unison, throwing spears to assassinate the scorpion spider that was crawling rapidly in the desert not far away. The scorpion spider was stabbed into the body by several spears, and struggled for a while before dying.
Several people ran away barefoot with pride, not thinking that the ground was hot at all. They must have been used to this climate. They carried the sharp and sharp feet of the scorpion spider, pulled out the hunting knife and skillfully dismembered the scorpion spider, resisted part of each, and brought it back to the city.
A team of heavily armored cavalry rushed from the distance from the horizon in an orderly manner. Helian Ruoyu was at the front, leading the cavalry team. When the guards on the city saw the leader, they immediately shouted happily and sounded the alarm bell.
Helian Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the protection of these soldiers, they ignored the group of scorpion spiders along the way. The momentum emitted by these soldiers could shake off the scorpion spiders.
Jiulang's injuries healed a lot. He rode on a horse and shouted at the group of people returning from hunting from afar.
The group of people came up with ecstasy when they heard Jiulang's voice. The middle-aged man in the lead was about to ask, but his eyes swept the team around. Except for Jiulang, all the people were strange faces they didn't know, and they couldn't help but wonder: "Where are the others?"
"The others, they all..." Jiulang couldn't say anything and rubbed his red eyes.
"It's good that the patriarch is fine." Several people looked disappointed and heard the middle-aged man in the lead comfort.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault that they can't come back." Helian Ruoyu dismounted and bowed to everyone, "I can't repay you."
"Captain, how can you say this? You are the only one who can take on the burden now. We can't live without you, their sacrifice is worth it."
Tuxi stepped forward to interrupt them: "Okay, I'm not interested in listening to you continue to say it. Prince Helian, since you have returned here safely, some things cannot be hidden from us. Does your family have this book about the Longevity Herb? Let's check it out and maybe you can see some clues."
"Impossible." Helian Ruoyu refused and began to drive people away: "Please please come back. I will not forget your help. I will definitely give you a big gift to the King Mingzai."
"What if we don't leave?" Tu Xi's tone became worse. Dozens of cavalry from the Spirit Cultivation Realm surrounded him and were ready to take action at any time. Helian Ruoyu stood helplessly and could not do anything. With the strength of their clan, he could not fight against these people at all.
"You go back, I'll stay here." Ling Xi spoke to Tuxi and his group for the first time with such cold words.
