Chapter 130 Cannon Fodder Jin 13 Targeted by Slaves
*
At nightfall, Xie Rongjing rode his horse all the way around the top of the mountain and headed south. Yun Wu was sitting in front of him in his arms, a small group of people sitting obediently, with a beautiful little face that was a little pale.
"Xie Rongjing, will Chunxing be fine?"
Xie Rongjing was tying the reins and driving his horse along the road in the suburbs. The night was quiet, and the voice of the girl sitting in front of him trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, Miss. When I took Miss away, I saw that they had already withdrawn. Their target was Miss. They were followed by pursuers all the way. I have already thrown them away."
Xie Rongjing said softly, and Yun Wu was very worried. She didn't care that Xie Rongjing didn't call himself a slave.
Listening to Xie Rongjing's comfort, she relaxed a little. She had been tense all the way. Now that she relaxed, she could vaguely smell the faint smell of blood.
Yun Wu's body was fine, with no injuries at all. She looked sideways and discovered that there was a deep wound on Xie Rongjing's left arm.
The clothes were all torn, seemingly caused by the jolts of riding a horse, and blood was still oozing out.
"You are hurt?"
Yun Wu's voice was soft and surprised. She couldn't help but think of something, and then she turned her head and slightly raised her eyes to look at Xie Rongjing.
It seemed that she was injured when she got on the horse. At that time, a masked man with a knife wanted to kill her. Xie Rongjing protected her and blocked it before he had time to kick the man to the ground.
"It's a flesh wound, it doesn't hurt."
Xie Rongjing only spoke in an understatement, still holding the reins tightly and walking along the road to find an inn.
Sitting in front of him was his young lady. The faint fragrance of her body lingered around him. What did the injury on his arm mean?It would be a blessing if I could get some sympathy from the young lady.
The weather was a bit cold at night, and Yun Wu shivered, unconsciously shrinking her shoulders and moving a little closer to Xie Rongjing's arms behind her.
Yun Wu was thinking so much now that she never noticed Xie Rongjing's breathing becoming heavier due to her proximity.
She and Xie Rongjing could not continue to Yao City now, nor could they return to the capital immediately for fear of being ambushed by pursuers, so Xie Rongjing took her to a nearby city.
"Xie Rongjing, come down and rest for a while..."
Yun Wu's soft voice came, and Xie Rongjing saw that no one was chasing after him for so long, so he tightened the rope and stopped the horse.
There happened to be a stream nearby, and the environment was quiet. They could rest here for a while. His young lady was so beautiful that he couldn't make her tired anymore.
Xie Rongjing first got off the horse himself, then wiped his palms clean, and then stretched out his hands, letting Yun Wu put her hands on his clean palms to use his strength to get off the carriage.
The road around was a bit muddy, so Xie Rongjing took off his robe and spread it on the ground.
"Miss, sit down and rest for a while..."
Yun Wu was wearing moon-white winter clothes, and Xie Rongjing didn't want her white clothes to be stained with mud.
Yun Wu sat on his robe spread on the ground. The white snow dumplings seemed incompatible with the desolate environment of the surrounding countryside.
Xie Rongjing half-knelt on his outer robe and carefully unfolded the edges. Then when he wanted to stand up, Yun Wu suddenly held his hand.
Yun Wu's soft white hands grasped his wrist, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes unnaturally.
"Miss, are you thirsty? If we walk a little further, we should be able to see the inn..."
Before Xie Rongjing finished speaking, he watched Yun Wu wrap her brocade handkerchief around the wound on his left arm.
The scarf was not big, just enough to wrap around it. Yun Wu had never bandaged a wound before, so she clumsily tied a small knot to secure it.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss..."
Xie Rongjing's voice was low, and his dark eyes concealed unbearable joy.
Yun Wu sat back awkwardly, her amber eyes looking away like a dodge, and the pearl hairpin on her head dangled a few times.
"B-Miss, I don't care about you, a cheap slave. I just think that if you are too seriously injured, how can you escape with me? Humph..."
She raised her chin coquettishly and did not look at him. Her fair little face looked very soft under the moonlight.
"Why are you kneeling on the ground so stupidly? Sit down here quickly. The ground is so dirty. If you don't sit down, I won't ride a horse with you!"
The eldest daughter, who had been spoiled since she was a child, moved a little to the side, leaving a large space for Xie Rongjing to sit and rest on her large and clean robe.
Xie Rongjing's heart was so softened that he loved the lady's duplicity, liked her so much, and wanted to kiss her so much.
Can the lady call him a slave again? Xie Rongjing swallowed hard, but did not ask the question.
When Xie Rongjing lowered his eyes, he noticed some dirt on the back of Yun Wu's white hands.
He then carefully wiped the back of Yun Wu's hand clean with his cleanest cuff.
Xie Rongjing felt that his young lady should not be in such a mess. She should dress up like a porcelain doll and live in a splendid palace.
Then he takes care of the young lady to bathe and change clothes, wash and eat every day, and he is also responsible for warming the young lady's bed at night, hehe...
The two rested for a while before remounting their horses and continuing to walk along the road. Soon they arrived outside an inn next to a nearby town.
Most of the people who come and go here are travelers from poor families. The environment of this inn does not look very good, but there is only one such inn within a few miles.
In the spacious courtyard of the inn, Xie Rongjing carefully helped Yun Wu down from the horseback.
Yun Wu was carefully looking at the inn in front of her, while Xie Rongjing held the reins with one hand and took out the silver from his arms with the other.
There are two ingots of broken silver in total, which is enough to book two rooms in this remote inn.
But... Xie Rongjing took back one of the broken pieces of silver.
Yun Wu was in a bit of trouble, she didn't even have a penny on her, and the only jewelry she took with her when she went out today was a hairpin, which was her mother's dowry, and she couldn't bear to exchange it for it.
"Miss……"
Xie Rongjing's deep voice came, and Yun Wu looked up and saw Xie Rongjing hand over the small piece of broken silver in his hand.
"The money I have is enough for the lady to book a guest room to rest. I can just sleep in the stables. It doesn't matter..."
His voice was low and pleasant, but Yun Wu's eyes froze, and she subconsciously looked at the stables in the corner of the yard.
There were two horses there, and the ground was covered with dirty thatch. It was so dark that there was no place to lie down.
But Xie Rongjing seemed to be used to it. He held the horse's reins and was about to walk to the stable.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Yun Wu suddenly said, and Xie Rongjing stopped leading the horse. Under the moonlight, his beautiful face had clear outlines and handsome features.
Her glass-like eyes showed a trace of hesitation, but she looked at the dirty stable and saw the injury on Xie Rongjing's left arm that was sustained for her...
"You, sleep with me..."
