Chapter 715: Traveling at Night
After all, this mission was too dangerous. It was a blessing in disguise that they were able to survive. However, when they thought about their companions who had died tragically, they couldn't help but feel scared.
At this moment, they were like frightened birds, and the slightest disturbance would make them tremble with fear.
Song Yun looked at the two frightened people in front of him and comforted them softly, "You have worked hard. The loss of life caused by this incident cannot be restored, but we will try our best to compensate you financially."
After hearing this, the two people who were originally uneasy felt a little relieved.
You have to know that while escorting these three people, they not only nearly lost their lives, but also ultimately failed to complete the mission and deliver the people safely. They were originally worried that their employer would refuse to pay them.
However, after hearing what Song Yun said, their hearts finally settled down.
Although this money is far less valuable than the life that was lost, it can at least give them some comfort after experiencing this life-and-death disaster.
After all, as the old saying goes - fortune and honor are achieved through risk!
Song Jin asked, "What does that hero look like?"
The man thought carefully and described the man's appearance and features.
Song Yun and Song Jin said in unison: "Li Yi."
Song Yun nodded: "It can only be Li Yi, because he also listened to Xia Xia's words and went to find someone."
"What about the others?"
“I don’t know.” The man shook his head. “After the person was kidnapped, he left with them. I don’t know if he followed those people.”
"Well, that's fine."
Song Yun looked at Butler Ming and said, "Butler Ming, take the people down and make some arrangements."
Then he looked at the two of them and said, "You should recover in the yard first. I will arrange for you when you are well."
The man bowed and left with Butler Ming.
Song Yun stared at Feng Yu and asked, "Where's Feng Qi?"
Feng Yu's face was solemn as he slowly replied, "Fourth Master, Feng Qi has already followed the princess."
Hearing this, Song Yun frowned, and after a little thought, he said, "Okay, we must quickly report this to His Highness and see how to plan next."
Regarding Xia Xia's safety, I must tell the princess.
After all, the eldest princess's options are definitely wider than his.
At this time, Song's mother looked at Song Yun with a worried look on her face, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Old Four! You must do everything you can to rescue Xia Xia safely!"
Song Yun nodded heavily and responded firmly: "Mom, don't worry! I will try my best to keep Xia Xia safe."
Feng Yu turned to look at Song's mother and said softly, "Don't worry too much, old lady. The princess did voluntarily follow that person and leave. Moreover, that person also said that he would never hurt the princess in the slightest."
Song's mother shook her head repeatedly, her face full of worry as she murmured to herself: "That being said, who can guarantee that he will really keep his promise? This really makes me feel uneasy!"
Seeing this, Song Jin, who was standing nearby, hurried forward, gently patted Song's mother's shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Mom, please relax."
"As far as I know, this person is the teacher of the Bo Lan Academy, and Xia Xia is a princess of an extremely noble status. I believe he would never dare to do anything that would endanger Xia Xia's life."
Despite Song Jin's persuasion, Song's mother still couldn't completely let go of her worries.
Seeing this, Song Yun hurriedly spoke again to comfort his mother, "Mom, don't think too much! As the saying goes, good luck will come to those who are lucky. Xia Xia will definitely return safely. That person took Xia Xia away, maybe he took Xia Xia away for something."
Although Song Yun tried to comfort his mother, he was actually as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pull Feng Yu up and hurriedly ran towards the Princess's Mansion.
Shen Xia rarely comes into contact with horses on a daily basis, let alone riding for a long time.
After only riding the horse for two hours, she felt as if her buttocks no longer belonged to her. The numbness caused by the bumps spread from her tailbone to her entire body.
Ling Heng on the side, however, maintained a fast pace all the time, seemingly not affected by the long journey and fatigue at all.
Finally, Shen Xia couldn't stand this torture any longer and couldn't help asking, "How long will it take to reach our destination? My butt is almost numb!"
Hearing Shen Xia's complaint, Ling Heng looked down at her, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he comforted her: "Why don't you get some sleep first? It will probably take until dawn to arrive."
Shen Xia looked up at the dark night sky. If it weren't for the bright moon hanging high in the sky casting a cool light, she would have had difficulty seeing the road beneath her feet.
It's amazing that this guy can ride the horse so fast in such a dark environment.
The road we passed was indeed relatively wide, but the moonlight was good tonight, so it didn't have much impact on our journey.
Shen Xia didn't know that for people like them with high martial arts skills, even the absence of moonlight would not affect their journey at all.
Asking her to go to sleep now? What a joke! Even if she was a god of sleep, there was no way she could fall asleep peacefully on such a bumpy and shaking horseback!
Besides, it was dark that day, which made it convenient for her to act.
So Shen Xia answered stubbornly: "I won't sleep, this is fine."
After saying that, she forced herself to keep going.
But as time went by, sleepiness came in waves like the tide, and gradually Shen Xia's consciousness began to blur.
Finally, she couldn't resist the invasion of tiredness. Before she knew it, her body tilted and she fell limply into Ling Heng's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Ling Heng felt the sudden weight in his arms, and looked down, only to see Shen Xia with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, and had fallen asleep.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a faint, doting smile.
Then he gently adjusted his posture so that Shen Xia could sleep more comfortably. At the same time, he still controlled the reins steadily and continued to gallop forward...
I don’t know how much time passed.
Shen Xia herself didn't know how long she had slept.
There was a smell of barbecue.
Then he slowly opened his eyes.
I saw Ling Heng grilling meat and cooking porridge nearby.
Shen Xia was curious. Barbecue was normal and could be done by just hunting, but how did this porridge come about?
When I turned around, I saw two people standing by with their backs to each other.
Ling Heng might have sensed Shen Xia's gaze.
He looked up at her and said, "You're awake. There's hot water here. Wash your face and eat something. We still have a long way to go before we get there."
Shen Xia was curious: "How long is the journey?"
"There is still more than an hour,"
"Oh fine!"
