When the Mon people and the Liang Dynasty exchanged hostages, the other Mon soldiers were not idle either.

They simultaneously dispatched three teams to continue hunting and searching for the whereabouts of Xue Qingyin and his party.

The sound of horse hooves and the voices of people sounded intensively, and there were obviously many new faces near the villages along the way.

The farmer was just honest and not stupid, so he hid Xue Qingyin and others in a nearby cave overnight.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk. Once you enter the forest, you can't even tell the direction without local people to guide you." In order to reassure them, the farmer spoke up.

Xue Qingyin was startled and thought to herself, if this farmer stopped coming to deliver food to them one day, wouldn't they easily starve to death here?

She glanced out of the corner of her eye.

He Songning didn't say anything, but he obviously thought so in his heart.

The farmer left some food and a quilt and prepared to leave.

"Thank you for your hard work these past two days." He Songning stopped him, took out some broken silver from his purse and handed it to the farmer.

Farmers refuse to harvest.

Xue Qingyin said: "The cave is simple, you can buy some soft clothes and quilts tomorrow."

She has a commanding air about her.

The farmer didn't dare to refuse immediately and nodded quickly to accept the money.

When the farmer gradually walked away, He Songning turned his head, and the darkness in his eyes disappeared.

Even Qiao Xinyu saw it... Xue Qingyin's eldest brother was extremely suspicious.

If people don't want gold and silver, he might not let them go.

"I know you are squeamish, so please bear with me." He Songning said.

But when the words came out, He Songning felt a little regretful.

He had always been used to saying this before and couldn't change it for a while.

Fortunately, Xue Qingyin doesn't care... No, it's not that she doesn't care.

He Songning looked at her and found that after she said those words to the farmer, she lowered her head again and fell into her own thoughts, completely ignoring what he meant.

Still scared.

He Songning wanted to comfort her, but at the moment he didn't know how to start...

"Aren't you happy that King Wei is dead?" After a while, he only asked this sentence.

Xue Qingyin did not answer.

He Songning frowned, glanced in Qiao Xinyu's direction, and said, "The concubine of King Wei hasn't felt sorry for him yet, why are you..."

She hated King Wei so much. Could it be that when King Wei died, she felt sorry for him?

He Songning felt unhappy.

Xue Qingyin stood up and walked out of the cave without saying a word.

He Songning's tone was slightly serious: "Where are you going?"

Xue Qingyin: "Wash your hands."

He Songning looked at the hem of her skirt.

There was blood all over it.

When you come to a place like this, you can't even take a shower. How can the squeamish Xue Qingyin endure it?

He Songning held on to the cave wall, stood up slowly and said, "I'll accompany you."

He paused and added: "Lest you accidentally fall into the river."

Xue Qingyin was startled.

Fell into the river...

After He Songning finished speaking, he himself was startled for a moment.

Apparently he had also thought about it...if he followed him, he didn't know whether Xue Qingyin would fall into the river. But he had to be careful that Xue Qingyin took the opportunity to push him into the river.

For a moment, both of them stopped, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Qiao Xinyu suddenly said softly: "Someone must be following... Qingyin seemed... very frightened. She had never seen someone die so miserably. Mr. Xue should have covered her eyes at that time.

.”

Yes...he should have covered her eyes then.

But his original intention was to scare her.

But I didn't expect it to be so powerful...

He Songning felt a little softer and walked behind Xue Qingyin again.

Qiao Xinyu continued: "But Mr. Xue is seriously injured, so he should sit down and rest. I think it will be fine if the two Mon slaves follow him."

This is naturally a foolproof strategy.

But He Songning just said that he would accompany her... Now that Qiao Xinyu said this, He Songning felt that he couldn't save his face.

"No need, I will take care of my sister." He Songning said in a deep voice, and urged Xue Qingyin: "Let's go."

So the two of them walked out of the cave one after another.

The atmosphere is still devoid of any warmth between "brother and sister".

There is a small stream not far from the cave. It's not really a river at all.

He Songning breathed a sigh of relief.

There were a few deer hanging their heads down to drink water by the stream. When they saw them coming, they immediately ran away.

He Songning saw this and said, "I don't have to worry about eating meat."

Xue Qingyin didn't say anything, she squatted down and washed her hands silently, then took a corner of her skirt and scrubbed it slowly.

He Songning couldn't stand her silence, so he squatted down with her and continued to try to comfort her: "It'll be fine in two days."

Xue Qingyin still didn't speak, but she was thinking.

Why can it be fine in two days?

What exactly is He Songning's plan?

He was sure that someone would find them in two days? Was it the person he had arranged for early in the morning?

Xue Qingyin suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety.

She wrinkled her nose.

"After we go back, without King Wei, Liu Yuerong will no longer be able to argue with you..."

Xue Qingyin said with a cold tone: "Without King Wei, shouldn't the child in her belly be more important? She can live a better life with this child."

He Songning laughed: "You don't know... that child is gone."

"No more?" Xue Qingyin turned her head in shock.

In Qiao Xinyu's belly...

Xue Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and thought that this was good. If Qiao Xinyu could return to the capital well, she would naturally become the most noble woman in the Wei Palace.

Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, He Songning was in a much better mood for no reason, so he smiled and asked, "How are you? Are you happy?"

Xue Qingyin turned her head back and said in a low voice: "Why are you always so suspicious?"

He Songning's expression suddenly froze.

He got it.

She wasn't necessarily scared...it was just that she noticed his suspicion and was sad.

"I..." He Songning started, but he didn't know how to start.

No one had ever asked him that.

He could brush it off.

He can also make up excuses.

But He Songning pressed his chest and sat on the floor like this.

He said: "...because no one taught me."

"It's better for me to be afraid, isn't it?" Xue Qingyin asked him softly.

He Songning opened his mouth.

Before he could speak, Xue Qingyin continued: "You could have killed King Wei in many ways, but you deliberately let me see that scene... Because you don't believe me, you need to scare me. I will not do what you did.

Tell the truth."

"I, you don't believe it. You don't believe that farmer either..."
