In the hot summer, the army of all parties began to feel restless. Chu Yunning stood in front of the camp tent and looked at the thick smoke in the distance. Texas city was still burning, and even the air was filled with a strange smell.

"Sister Ning, what are you worried about?" Yu'er came over.

Chu Yunning said nothing, always feeling very nervous, and stared at the city not far away for a long time.

Suddenly, a very firm idea came to her mind, and she turned around and turned to find Xiao Jingheng.

The curtain was raised but Xiao Jingheng had already changed into an ordinary black long gown, his face was covered with a beard, which blocked his face, and he could no longer see his original appearance.

"Are you going out?" Chu Yunning asked in surprise.

Xiao Jingheng nodded, turned around and handed Chu Yunning a military talisman and a seal. She was stunned: "Is this?"

"The military camp is for now. I will take people back to Jokhang Temple tonight and bring Chu'er."

This idea happened to be together with Chu Yunning. Chu'er was not under her nose, and she always felt uneasy.

Chu Yunning dreamed of Chu'er at night for two consecutive days, and she felt unsure.

"I don't believe anyone except you in the military camp. If necessary, you must stabilize the military camp." Xiao Jingheng said.

Chu Yunning shook his head: "It's too dangerous for you to do this. You are the backbone of everyone. I can't let you get something wrong. I'll pick Chu'er up."

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

It took at least more than a month for a weak woman to go back and forth from the border to the temple, and she would definitely not be able to bear it.

"You are the emperor, your goal is too big, and I am just a little girl. Even if I disappear, no one will pay attention to it."

Chu Yunning always felt that he had already suffered a lot from Xiao Jingheng and didn't want to continue to owe him.

Moreover, Xiao Jingheng is the emperor, and once he is injured, Chu Yunning will be a sinner for the ages.

The two were in a stalemate, Xiao Jingheng was silent for a moment and did not let go. Chu Yunning immediately gave a wink at Eunuch Mo. Eunuch Mo quietly retreated after understanding.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Yunning stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Jingheng's sleeve, stared at him with wet eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "I promise you that I will come back safely."

Xiao Jingheng took a deep breath and turned his head and refused to look at her. His body turned, and Chu Yunning followed immediately, touched his head, and blinked gently: "Xiao Jingheng, I am not a reckless person. These days, because of Chu'er's affairs, I am uneasy. You are the person I trust most in this world. It's not that I don't worry about you, but that I rely on Chu'er's body.

I left the back mountain rashly, and I was worried about what symptoms would appear on the road. I thought my medical skills were OK, so..."

While explaining, Chu Yunning stroked his fingertips across the back of Xiao Jingheng's hand, tickling gently as if he was tickling.

"The two children are by my side, and I will have no scruples in the future." Chu Yunning was extremely grateful to Xiao Jingheng. She decided to help Xiao Jingheng settle down and clear the obstacles for him.

Xiao Jingheng was so angry that he lost his temper and sighed long: "You know I can't do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunning grinned and leaned his head gently on Xiao Jingheng's shoulder: "I will definitely protect myself and will not mess around."

"This is certain."

After Xiao Jingheng's repeated instructions, Chu Yunning agreed with confidence, so it became dark. After disguising, Chu Yunning left the military camp and rushed towards the border city.

She took away more than a hundred secret guards who fought against a hundred, and the group was like a sharp arrow in the dark night and shuttled through them very quickly.

Chu Yunning was anxious and didn't dare to delay halfway. She always felt that something bad was about to happen.

And this intense uneasiness became more and more disturbing her mind as time went by.

"Aning?"

"Mother!"

"Mother?"

As long as she closed her eyes, several sounds would linger in her ears. Chu Yunning suddenly opened her eyes, and before she knew it, she was already sweating profusely and her clothes were wet.

"Chu Shanggong, are you okay?" A secret guard beside him asked worriedly.

Chu Yunning shook her head, washed her face with cold water, kept herself rational, and after replenishing dry food, she continued to turn over and ask with a face clasped: "How long will it take to get to the temple?"

"We are all walking remote paths along the way, and the distance has been shortened a lot.

I guess I will be there in three days.”

"Three days..." Chu Yunning gritted his teeth: "One day! We must rush to the temple before midnight tomorrow."

"yes!"

The group did not dare to delay, and they all turned over and ran towards the temple. Every three hours, they would change another horse to temporarily replenish food and then continue on the road.

Finally, I arrived at the foot of the mountain early the next morning, but in fact this speed was already fast enough.

"Chu Shang Palace, footprints and horse hoof prints are everywhere..." The secret guard held a torch and found the hoof prints on the ground with sharp eyes.

Chu Yunning turned over and got off the horse, took the torch from one of them, lowered his head and looked at the marks on the ground, reached out and touched it. The horse's hoof print was obviously different from their horse's hoof. Judging from the width and narrow marks, it should be that they wore a horse's hoof hand, so it was deeper and wider than ordinary marks.

"There are still blood on the ground, but it has not been dry, so it shouldn't be too long." The secret guard found blood on the branch on the other side. When he reached out, he still felt slightly wet. The blood was not dry yet. It should be that a group of people had just left.

Chu Yunning's heart was almost at his throat, and he immediately dispersed the secret guards into two groups. The first wave went up the mountain to see what was going on, while Chu Yunning followed the horse's hoof prints with the rest of his plans.

Fortunately, when she came, she stuffed the ferret into her bag, which came in handy.

Ferret was still sleeping in a daze in his bag. Suddenly, his neck was picked up by someone. He couldn't help but stare at Chu Yunning with an innocent face.

"Let me lead the way."

Ferret woke up in a flash, jumped down to smell the blood, then turned his head around and ran firmly towards the west.

"Chasing!" Chu Yunning said.

After a while, everyone came to a big river, the horse's hoof prints disappeared, and the ferret squeaked and pointed at the opposite side.

"Have you crossed the river by riding a horse?" Chu Yunning asked with a frown.

The sky is not white yet, so I can't see clearly how wide the river in front of me is, nor do I know the depth.

She hesitated for a moment.

“Is there any other way?”

Ferret shrugged. It was not omnipotent and could do anything, but she was eager to save people, and she could even notice that Chu'er was not far from her.

So she let go of the reins and raised her whip and continued to rush forward, flowing across the river, and at most she could swim halfway through the way.

The river water in summer is not quite cool and the temperature is still good. The deepest part of the water just passed the horse's back, at her knees.

Mo around half an hour later, everyone successfully landed. It was much dawn and the surroundings could be seen vaguely. She looked at Ferret, "Can you still find the direction?"

The ferret smelled everywhere, jumping around, suddenly noticed something was wrong and turned around and ran away. He jumped into Chu Yunning's arms and screamed with tears.
