Chapter 300 Which No. 1 Assassin?
Axue is a horse who is as mysterious as her owner.
After Xuan Yi put the large basket of steamed buns he bought in the corner, a snow-white horse slowly walked out from the end of the street.
It walked with its head held high, and the mane on its head glowed a light golden color in the sunlight.
I don't know where he went crazy all night, but there was a faint floral scent on his body. He stood beside Shi Li and deliberately raised his head and neighed.
Shi Li's eyes followed the red clothes quietly. He was startled by the neighing sound. He turned around and saw Axue's big eyes like watery grapes. He waved his fist in anger and amusement.
But Axue saw through her true cowardice and raised her front hooves to stomp twice, splashing dust that fell on Shi Li's newly changed skirt.
"As bad as your master." Shi Li hurriedly stepped back, muttering angrily.
Unfortunately, this sentence was heard by someone with sharp ears and eyes. He came over and put a hand on the scabbard, "Huh? You said something bad about me?"
"No, no, you heard it wrong." Shi Li denied it without hesitation and pushed Axue's head directly, "Axue can testify that I didn't say anything."
Xuan Yi: ...
[Axue: Don’t bully me just because I can’t speak! Hahaha~]
[The anchor is becoming more and more skilled at passing on the blame! ]
[A horse like Axue should be very valuable in ancient times~]
The old friends in the barrage were chatting happily.
It’s still a long way to Liaocheng.
They did not stay in the town any longer, but rode away quietly on Asue.
From time to time along the way, you can see tired and hungry refugees, each of them with pale and thin faces, and there is no trace of hope in their cloudy eyes.
Shi Li couldn't bear to watch any longer and quietly looked up at Xuan Yi.
He held the reins in one hand and let the other hand hang casually at his side, looking ahead with clear eyes.
There is only the road ahead, no strangers in my eyes.
Shi Li opened her mouth, but in the end did not utter a word. She just lowered her head silently.
She actually wanted to ask why Xuan Yi bought steamed buns for the refugees just now, and whether he could see what she was thinking.
But I didn't ask because I was afraid of being too sentimental.
Forget it, the most important thing right now is to arrive in Liaocheng safely and save my own life first.
Shi Li lowered her head and silently played with her bracelet.
Axue carried them, gradually leaving the town behind, chasing the sun, and stepping into another forest.
Liaocheng is located in the most remote northwest, surrounded by thousands of mountains, with one mountain after another blocking your way.
Shi Li, as a delicate princess, showed extraordinary strength.
She slept in the open air on the road, it was cold in the morning and evening, and scorching hot at noon, she gritted her teeth and persisted without saying a word, but the human body has its limits.
On the night they left the town, they couldn't find a place to stay and had to sleep in the wild.
It was very cold at night. The wind howled all night long and the campfire went out again and again. Shi Li put on all her clothes and curled up into a ball, but still felt cold.
By the early morning, my body was almost frozen.
Just when she thought she was going to pass out from the cold, a bright red sleeve appeared before her eyes.
"Little Princess, don't be so stubborn."
It was like the sound of jade striking each other, carrying some indescribable emotion into her ears. Shi Li looked up in confusion, and before she could see Xuan Yi's face clearly, she was embraced in his arms.
Unlike the cold fingertips, Xuan Yi's embrace was very warm.
Especially on a cold night like this, it is like a burning stove, dispelling the cold and keeping the night wind out.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else and it won't hinder you from getting married in the future."
When Shi Li was about to fall asleep in his arms, she heard a low sound like a sigh.
Instinctively, I wanted to retort, but I was too sleepy to speak. My head rested against the crimson collar, feeling warm and safe, and my eyelids were too heavy to open.
After a while, Xuan Yi heard the sound of even breathing coming from his arms. He curled his lips silently and looked towards the distant mountains with clear eyes.
Born as an assassin, he has experienced too many nights like this. He once hid in the ice and snow for an entire night when water froze into ice, just to succeed in an assassination.
But, I have never experienced such a cold and warm night.
It's really... magical.
Just as magical as the sour apple he ate.
