"Crossing this hill, you can reach Ye Capital first. Let's take a night's rest at Ye Capital and then continue on our way." Bai Aoxue lifted the curtain gently, watching and saying to Liushuang who drove the carriage.
"Why should we rest? After reaching Ye Capital and hurrying on with our journey for a few more days, it will be very close to the capital. I can continue to hurry on with our journey." Liushuang looked at Bai Aoxue wonderingly and said.
Bai Aoxue didn't say a word, just looking at Liushuang's tired face, and she really sighed with emotion in her heart.
Although Liushuang and Qi Tiance took turns to rest, so many days of rushing were really unbearable. She could see it from the eyes of Liushuang who tried to hide his weariness.
"It's okay. We will soon arrive anyway. It's okay to have a day off. I don't want you to fall ill for tiredness after returning to the Chengxi Dynasty smoothly. Besides, Ye Capital is very beautiful, and you can take Jianjia to visit at that time." Bai Aoxue gently smiled and said.
Recently, because Liushuang had been exposed to the blazing sun when hurrying on with their journey, he lost his fair face, and his face turned reddish when she heard Bai Aoxue's words at this time.
"Eh-hem... Well, then take a day off at Ye Capital. I will take Jianjia to Ye Capital and taste some delicious food at that time." Liushuang turned his face slightly and said slowly.
But the reddish face revealed his awkwardness at this moment.
When Bai Aoxue saw Liushuang's appearance, she didn't say much but turned to look at Jianjia and said, "Have you heard that your Brother Liushuang will take you to taste some delicious food."
Jianjia nodded like a chicken pecking rice, indicating that she was happy.
In the evening, Bai Aoxue and her companions finally entered Ye Capital smoothly.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Those houses are so beautiful and gorgeous!" Jianjia lifted the curtain of the carriage. She looked at the houses outside and said with joy and exclamation.
Bai Aoxue watched people coming and going on the street, and she had some mixed feelings in her mind.
She was here a few months ago, and at that time Jun Yeyan accompanied her and spent the Water Lantern Festival which was unforgettable.
But although she was careful to cherish those days, they were disturbed by others eventually. Coming to Ye Capital again, everything had changed a lot.
Just like now, his uncle who was once admired by everyone could be punished by everyone at this time as if he was a thief who betrayed his country in order to get a high position!
How could she die? How could she die so easily? If everyone came to such a conclusion, wouldn't everything that his uncle had done for so many years be a big joke?
Outside the carriage, there were some people who were murmuring, which drove Bai Aoxue's thoughts back.
"Oh, this is really unexpected. General Ye Zhaojue turns out to be such a person. We admired him so much before, but for the sake of glory and wealth, he rebelled and killed his own brothers. What a damn person!" An angry voice passed into the carriage.
"That's right. I have already known that Ye Zhaojue is not a good person. It is so lucky for him to die in this way now!" There were many people echoing.
"I think you should not judge someone like that. General Ye Zhaojue has paid a lot for so many years to make us live a peaceful life. If he really wanted to betray, he would have done it earlier. How could he wait until now?" A disapproving voice sounded.
"Please be considerate. Isn't your peaceful life for so many years attributed to General Ye Zhaojue's efforts?" The indignant voice of a young man sounded.
"Young Master, stop talking. This is the conclusion made by the emperor. What can we do? Whether General Ye is framed or not, it is none of our business! And we can do nothing to help him."
Bai Aoxue slowly lifted the curtain and saw a young boy who was tall and handsome. He pointed at those people excitedly.
Bai Aoxue raised her lips slightly, but there was no smile in her phoenix-like eyes, and her cold appearance made people feel cold out of fear.
"Let's go. It's just public opinion. No need to make more comments." Bai Aoxue said gently, lowering the curtain again.
"I'll kill them!" Liushuang looked at those people who slandered Ye Zhaojue with his beautiful eyes tinted with the intention of killing.
"No need. If many years of stability and prosperity make them start to forget who makes them where they are today, this corrupt country will need no shelter because they have lost their consciences and forgotten their beliefs." Bai Aoxue looked down, saying softly.
"This country has been eroded by those corrupt people. Although the outside is bright and beautiful, the inside is too horrible to look at. In this case, only war can make them clearly understand that it is not the superior emperor who gives them stability and peace, but the sacrifice of the soldiers who died unjustly because of the emperor's selfishness!" The cold tone was severely frigid and penetrative.
But there was an irresistible momentum as if it was in control of the world, which made people shocked a lot.
Hearing Bai Aoxue's words, Liushuang didn't pause anymore but gradually drove away in a carriage.
Qi Tiance heard Bai Aoxue's bloody words just now and then asked calmly while looking at her, "What is the relationship between General Ye and you?"
Bai Aoxue was slightly stunned when hearing the words of Qi Tiance and then thought that Qi Tiance had been detached for five years, so he did not know her.
"He's my uncle." Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Tiance. She gently opened her red lips and said slowly word by word.
Although Qi Tiance had learned about something from Bai Aoxue's expression, he did not expect that it was such a blood relationship.
For a moment, the carriage was silent.
After a long time, Qi Tiance gently said, "I also heard of Ye Zhaojue in those days. When I was young and ambitious, I even wanted to compete against him, but we never encountered each other since we chose different roads."
"If you see my uncle, you'll respect and admire each other." Bai Aoxue said gently.
Qi Tiance nodded and said, "Then what do you intend to do now? What are you going to do in the future?"
Bai Aoxue tilted her head slightly and said after a while, "Go back to the Chengxi Dynasty first, and I will take you to visit Helian Cangyue and settle you down. After giving the medicine to Jun Yeyan, I will go to the Mobei Dynasty."
Hearing Bai Aoxue's words, Qi Tiance said with some doubts, "What are you going to do in the Mobei Dynasty? Don't you plan to act with the prince? According to my judgment, both of you are dangerous now, and the emperor will never let you go."
"Go to the Mobei Dynasty and kill those who have betrayed and hurt my uncle. The people of Jun Yeyan in the Mobei Dynasty are still searching for my uncle, and I want to look for him there. As for here, I believe Jun Yeyan can solve it." Bai Aoxue turned her head and said, and her eyes were sparkling.
"So, let Jianjia go with you to the Mobei Dynasty, and you can take care of each other along the way." Qi Tiance thought about it for a while after hearing the words of Bai Aoxue and said seriously.
When Bai Aoxue heard Qi Tiance's words, she turned to look at Jianjia and saw Jianjia looking at her with great interest.
Although she had guessed that Jianjia must be extraordinary, Bai Aoxue didn't expect that Qi Tiance was so relieved to let Jianjia accompany her to go to the Mobei Dynasty.
"This journey is very dangerous, so Jianjia should stay in the Chengxi Dynasty and guard the gambling house for me. I will go to the Mobei Dynasty with my master." Liushuang interjected.
When Qi Tiance heard Liushuang's words, he said with a smile that was rarely seen on his face, "Jianjia, tell Brother Liushuang whether you want to go to the Mobei Dynasty with Sister Aoxue."
Jianjia could not wait to say when hearing the words of Qi Tiance, "I will go wherever Sister Aoxue goes. Brother Liushuang, you can't underestimate me!"
These four people joked all the way and found a place to live. They planned to stay here for a night and then continued their journey.
Liushuang took Jianjia to visit Ye Capital, and Qi Tiance stayed at the inn to rest.
Bai Aoxue appropriately released the crutches and started walking when Liushuang and others were not there.
After rushing for so many days, she had been using the crutches, not trying to walk by herself. Now she could have a try carefully.
Although she could not walk flexibly as before, now each step was firm, and the leg bones did not hurt anymore.
It was believed that she could recover soon if she walked around and practiced more to ease her main and collateral channels.
By then, she would have nothing to worry about in the Mobei Dynasty.
After a day of rest at Ye Capital, Bai Aoxue decided to leave when the sun went down. Jianjia was very happy when she heard it, and she took Qi Tiance out to stroll about, leaving Liushuang here to rest.
"Go and take a good rest. I will call you later when we leave." Bai Aoxue said lightly and looked at Liushuang sitting next to her.
Liushuang shook his head and said, "No need. I took a good rest last night, and I am not as fragile as you think." Only he knew what was in his heart although he said so.
He just wanted to cherish the days he spent with Bai Aoxue.
The sun was gradually setting. Bai Aoxue and her companions were ready to continue their journey. After leaving Ye Capital successfully, they headed towards the empire's capital.
Suddenly, Bai Aoxue who had originally leaned on the soft couch to catnap opened her eyes, and Qi Tiance beside her became a little vigilant as well.
"It seems that they have caught up with us eventually. Qi Liange is really smart." Bai Aoxue sighed with emotion softly.
"Ho... He is far more than clever. He is so clever that he even asked two groups of people to outflank us." Liushuang watched those people who contained them and said ironically as he drove the carriage.
"Miss Bai, please go with us to the Nanyue Dynasty. The emperor has been waiting for Miss Bai for a long time in the Nanyue Dynasty!" Yu Wu approached them on the horse, saying in a deep and low voice.
"It is impossible!" Liushuang said in a heavy voice on behalf of Bai Aoxue, and he had spun off from the carriage.
"Jianjia, protect your Sister Aoxue well, and I will go out to help him." Qi Tiance looked at Jianjia and said to her lightly.
"Master, be at ease!" Jianjia nodded.
Although Bai Aoxue did not open the curtain, she knew that there were a lot of people. The dagger forged by her at Ye Capital was pinched in her hand tightly.
Although Qi Tiance and Liushuang had powerful Kungfu, there were inevitably some people escaping from their attacks. Two trained soldiers rushed towards Bai Aoxue's carriage quickly.
They had believed that these two people were planning to hijack Bai Aoxue, but they just hit the carriage with the internal force condensed after looking at each other with a glance.
"Bang!" As these two men reversely flew out, the roof of the carriage was lifted.
The fighting people all looked at this side, and they could not help being shocked and frightened.
In the cold moonlight, a man in the fine black dress raised his lips and had a wicked smile on his lips. When he looked at those people, his phoenix-like eyes were cold and cruel. He tramped on the top of the carriage, holding a woman in white tightly with his hands.
The woman's hair was scattered due to the impact of the internal force just now, and she was even more seductively charming in the moonlight.
As the cool breeze blew over, their corners of clothes were flying in the air.
"Xue has been found." The cool words were a little hoarse and deep, but more of the long-lost peace of mind.
