The night shrouded the wilderness.

Blood quietly emerged from the dark city gate.

Nan Baoyi squatted slowly to the ground, her hanging hands were covered in blood.

The night wind outside the border was chilling and poured into the dan gauze robe, making her face pale.

Her hands were in pain, but she was not crying.

Stars are everywhere.

Her Danfeng eyes were extremely calm.

After a while, she finally stood up, walked to the horse, and turned over to the horse neatly.

She grabbed the reins, took a deep look at the sentry on the city tower, and urged the horse to move forward.

After walking along the Great Wall for half an hour, every not far away, there were guarded soldiers standing on the city tower, all staring at her with vigilant eyes, and she could not find a chance to enter.

Until the sky was bright, she was still helpless at the foot of the Great Wall.

The cold wind that had blown all night made her feel uncomfortable.

She sneezes, looked at the solid city wall again, and had to turn over and get off the horse tiredly, find a corner of the city gate, and curl up and fall asleep.

She slept until dusk. After she woke up from hunger, she took a piece of dry food from the bag beside her saddle, ate it with cold water, and then continued to guard the city tower, as if she would not leave without opening the city gate.

She stayed at the foot of the Great Wall for three days, regardless of the wind and rain.

The sentries looked at each other a few times.

The girl looked young, but she didn't expect that she was so stubborn.

They felt unbearable and reported it to Poinsettia, but the always gentle national teacher had a slight face and scolded them for meddling in other people's business.

On the fourth night, Nan Baoyi finally couldn't stand the wasteland outside the border with a huge temperature difference between day and night, and was unconscious and curled up under the city tower, without waking up for a day and a night.

"Will you die?"

"It's so cold at night, I bet she won't last tomorrow morning!"

The sentries whispered, wanting to give her some food and drink and a thick fur coat, but when they think of the military orders of the national army, no one dared to step out of that national border.

In the long night of the wilderness, the grass and trees are frost.

A carriage drawn by six horses is from far to near.

Qinfeng sat outside the carriage, shining the lanterns in the distance. Seeing the towering city tower, he couldn't help but say happily: "Master, we are about to arrive at the Great Wall! According to the news reported by the spies two days ago, Miss Nan should be at the foot of the Great Wall!"

A man with red lips and white teeth sat upright in the car.

He twisted the red sandalwood Buddhist beads and stared at the shadow of the black building in the distance.

How stubborn should I be to stand there?

Yipin Hong put her to death. Even if she waited until she died, the other party would not open the city gate for her. As expected, she was still as stupid as before.

Or...

It's still the same as before, with too deep obsession.

People with too deep obsessions are all stupid people.

He himself...

The carriage was parked at the foot of the Great Wall.

Gu Chongshan stepped out of the carriage and saw a girl curled up in the corner of the city gate.

The eunuch held the lamp, clearly illuminating the girl's appearance.

The dan gauze robe she wore had long been stained with the wind and sand of the Gobi. The soft crow hair that used to be as messy as weeds, her face was pale and blue, and her cold red hands were holding a drunk water bag. Her lips were slightly chapped, and she was already thirsty for a long time.

Gu Chongshan frowned.

He stepped forward and touched Nan Baoyi's forehead with the back of his hand.

The forehead is hot.

He was silent, raised his head without expression, and glanced at the towering city tower.

The city tower was full of lights, and the sentries stood at their posts, and they were curiously paying attention to the movements here. Even though Poinsettia knew that Jiaojiao of the Nan family was about to die here, he still refused to open the door for her.

Gu Chongshan suppressed the resentment that surged in his chest.

He stretched out his hand to the little eunuch.

Qinfeng respectfully said: "Master..."

Gu Chongshan: "Bring it."

Qinfeng paused, and had to take out a pair of deer-skin guards unwillingly.

Gu Chongshan put on his hands and leaned over to pick up Nan Bao's clothes and walked towards the carriage.

Qinfeng followed behind and couldn't help but mutter: "Seeing that the emperor of Dayong doesn't want her anymore. Such a good opportunity to get close to the beauty, what does the master wear a handguard to do... just pick it up directly. Touching the little hand and kissing the little face, isn't it? I see, the heroes in the book save the beauty in this way..."

Gu Chongshan ignored him.

When he was in Shengjing Palace, his hands had served countless women.

I still think it’s dirty, let alone the Nan family’s sweetheart?

The car is spacious and comfortable.

Gu Chongshan put Nan Baoyi on the soft couch and personally diagnosed her pulse. After confirming that there was nothing serious, he fed her the medicine to take.

The carriage slowly passed through the Gobi grassland and drove towards the prosperous Wang Ting.

When Nan Baoyi woke up, it was already dusk the next day.

After her pupils were dissipated for a moment, she suddenly sat up: "Regent? Am I not on the other side of the Great Wall? How could it be..."

Gu Chongshan did not answer, but handed her the bird's nest porridge prepared in the morning.

Nan Baoyi held the white jade bowl and quickly figured out what happened.

It must have been that Gu Chongshan found out that she was missing after returning home, so he urged the car to come out to find her.

She whispered: "It was not out of malice that day, but seeing the Regent was busy all day long and had no time to take care of me, so... I thought I was just going home, and I didn't have to bother the Regent to mobilize everyone to send him off in person-"

"Nan Baoyi."

Gu Chongshan suddenly interrupted her.

He rarely calls her name directly.

Nan Baoyi subconsciously shrank deep into the soft couch, and looked up at him with a little fear: "What are you doing?"

Gu Chongshan stretched out his hand to her.

Nan Baoyi hurriedly avoided.

Gu Chongshan's hands were in the air, and complex emotions flashed through his eyes.

He just wanted to touch her head.

He withdrew his hand, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, turned his head and looked out the window, and said lightly: "For me, you have never been a trouble."

She is his undesirable.

It was even more a pity for his two lives.

The atmosphere in the carriage was weird.

After a while, Gu Chongshan stood up and walked out of the car: "You should rest first. I will help you with the matter of returning to Dayong."

...

Just when Gu Chongshan's carriage returned to Wang Ting on a starry night, a white dove quietly landed in a remote mountain village with letters from Chang'an.

It made a "cuckoo", stood at the top of the branches, tilted its head to overlook the group of embarrassed officers and soldiers on the muddy road.

"Prince, there is Huai Village in front! The map given by the national teacher is actually fake, which has caused us to go a lot of unjust paths. Could it be that he is trying to make us happy?"

Xiao Sui's face was covered in dust.

He took his subordinates to look for Huo Tingyu more than a month ago, but the map given by Poinsettia was wrong. He ran against Huai Village where the girl was. He asked countless local passers-by in the middle before turning back and finally found the so-called village.

He saw a woman washing clothes by the pond at the entrance of the village. She wiped her face with her sleeves and rode her horse towards the pond.

He tied the horse's hooves and asked the woman, "Has outsiders come to your village a few months ago?"

The woman was wrapped in a floral turban, with a slender and thin back.

Hearing this, the hand washing clothes paused slightly.
