Ahaya couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, carefully moved out, and cleared her throat.
"Your Majesty, I..."
She paused, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.
In such an ambiguous situation, when she said she didn't know how to do Qinggong, didn't she just make it clear that she wanted Xie Jie to carry her up?
Xie Jie looked at her side face, amusement and success quickly flashed in his eyes.
The tunnels in Wancheng were all dug by the common people. Who would set up such a embarrassment mechanism?
This rope was specially put down by King Wuwei after he presented the map of the secret passages in the city.
If Ahaya didn't come tonight, he would not have taken the secret passage of the black market. Now that he is here...then don't blame him for swallowing the rabbit that he ran into the trap.
Seeing that he could clearly see her embarrassment but refused to take the initiative to speak, Ahaya snorted, glared at him angrily, then simply put aside her face and stretched out her hand towards him.
"Your Majesty, hold me."
Xie Jie was startled, his forehead suddenly hurt, and his eyes were in a trance.
It seems that in front of you is not an abandoned ancient well, but an imperial garden full of spring scenery.
There was a woman happily swinging on the swing, and there was a lot of laughter.
But as soon as he approached, everyone knelt down in fear, and even she was too timid to move.
His heart suddenly became angry. Before he could get angry, he saw the woman sitting on the swing, stretching out her hands towards him...
"His Majesty."
The dream that had troubled him for many years coincided with the scene in front of him. Xie Jie suddenly came back to his senses and saw Ahaya looking at him with doubts in her eyes.
He squinted his eyes slightly, hiding the darkness in his eyes, put one hand around Ahaya's waist, put one hand on the rope, and just a little tiptoe, he flew up with the person, landing a few times on the wall of the well.
Taking advantage of his strength, he flew straight out of the well mouth.
As soon as she stood firm, Aheya couldn't wait to break free from Xie Jie's arms.
Her cheeks were red, she lowered her head to hide the clarity in her eyes, and stammered: "It's too, too close."
"Is this too close?" Xie Jie stared at Aheya, something flashed in his eyes, he curled his lips, his tone was ambiguous, with a teasing smile.
Ahaya refused to answer him, and lowered her head while groaning. Her ears were red as if they were about to bleed, but her heart was unmoved and she was already thinking about other things.
It seems that Xie Jie has been taking the initiative for a little too long.
I have to find a chance...
"Your Majesty, where should we go next?"
She thought for a while, then took the initiative to ask.
For a moment, Shen San could not imagine that Wancheng was so huge outside the city that he could search it for a day or two.
Since Xie Jie knew all the secret passages in the city by heart and had already anticipated Shen San's actions, he must have prepared a backup plan.
Now they are hiding, whether they go to rescue people, then besiege Wancheng and destroy Shen San's rebels, or take a step back and lie dormant, they can sink Sanyizi first.
However, Xie Jie didn't follow the routine she imagined at all. He pondered for a moment and just said lightly: "Take one step and watch one step."
What does it mean.
Ahaya looked at his expression and was stunned. She moved her fingertips slightly to cover up the strange color in her eyes. She was not sure whether he was suspicious or something else, so she simply pretended not to notice anything and called him.
Yawn.
"Then take a step and take a look." She said lazily and raised her head.
This dry well was located somewhere in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city. There was not even a village around it. At this time, the breeze was passing by, turning the leaves into waves.
While on the run, they actually stole some luxurious leisure time.
Ahaya closed her eyes slightly and relaxed herself.
If you don't say it, don't say it. He didn't trust her enough, so he just gave her the opportunity to take the next step.
If the string of the kite is pulled too tightly, it will break easily. If people get too close, it will lose its fun.
After this time, it was time for her to loosen the string of Xie Jie's kite.
But before that, I have to tighten it a little more...
Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the bushes not far away.
Ahaya suddenly opened her eyes: "What is it!"
"It's human!"
A man emerged from the bushes, holding a bow in one hand and a quiver on his back, looking at the two of them warily.
Ahaya looked at his outfit and was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at Xie Jie.
That was a Beirong man.
The man looked at the two of them, his fingers still secretly resting on the dagger at his waist, and he said in an unorthodox Daxu dialect: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Seeing that Xie Jie's face was expressionless, Ahaya felt relieved, paused, and changed into Beirong language.
"I fled from the Tasang tribe, and this is the man I picked up on the road."
She lied without changing her expression, only the roots of her ears were slightly red, which made Xie Jie behind her look at her.
"Can you provide us with a place to stay? He is not in good health. We can take a short rest and leave soon."
Being a fellow Beirong man made the man relax a little. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take his finger off the dagger, but his tone softened.
"My name is Teji, and I come from the Gehe tribe." He introduced himself. It seemed that after some struggle, he finally agreed, "You can come to my house to stay for one night, but only for one night."
"I will pay you the due reward." Ahaya breathed a sigh of relief and gave him the Beirong courtesy of thanks.
Teji did not shirk, but nodded slightly and led the way: "Come on!"
Ahaya glanced at his tense muscles and movements that were obviously still on guard, and couldn't help but curl her lips, with a smile and sadness in her eyes.
These were her people in Beirong, people who were displaced but still friendly to their fellow villagers.
But their good prime minister of Beirong did not care at all about the lives of these Beirong people in Daxu. For his own selfish interests, he did not hesitate to interfere in the politics of other countries, without any regard for what the possible war would bring.
She stepped heavily and pursed her lips.
The next second, someone grabbed her hand and interrupted her thoughts.
"Ahaya." Xie Jie quickened his pace, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked, "When did I become the man you picked up?"
coming.
Ahaya suppressed her emotions very quickly, and her eyes suddenly widened. Xie Jie's figure was reflected in her pupils, and her sluggish look was like a kitten being picked up by the scruff.
"You, how did you..."
"How can I understand Beirong dialect?"
Xie Jie took over her frightened stammering words, raised his eyebrows, snorted, and asked deliberately, "If I don't understand, wouldn't you be taking advantage of me?"
If you don't understand, then aren't her words in vain?
"I didn't take advantage!" Ahaya secretly laughed in her heart, but her eyes were rolling on her face, half guilty, half brazenly arguing, "This is an expedient measure!"
"A stopgap measure?"
Xie Jie glanced at her sideways, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Then why didn't I show mercy and pick up a dirty little beauty on the roadside?"
