Chapter 1443: Chapter 1443 Huyang Forest
“What’s the fun in going alone? Love happens when two people are together.” She looked at the elongated shadows beneath the carriage with a face full of envy.
Chasing after him this far, who knows when she’ll ever catch up.
Thinking of this, she felt a bit tired.
“Yue Rujing, aren’t you going? How about sitting up and having a chat with ?”
“What is there to talk about with you?” Yue Rujing sneered.
Then he turned over irritably.
“Anything!” Duan Xiaoi said happily, “For example… what kind of girls do you like? The doctor said you might like soone romantic, a bit persistent, is that true?”
“What?” Yue Rujing sat up instantly, slapped the roof, and shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense, or you’ll get a rotten tongue!”
Gu Youyou was discussing Western Regions’ culture with Jin Zijin when such discordant sounds abruptly disrupted her mood for small talk.
“Yue Rujing, don’t want to sit in the carriage? Ride a cal instead!”
“Hmph, I’ll ride!” Yue Rujing’s stifled voice ca from below.
A while later, he left and mounted a cal.
Duan Xiaoi hurriedly chased after him, laughing loudly, “Haha, it’s okay not being on the roof. We’re not that tasteless. Riding a cal to see the scenery is even better!”
She climbed onto the cal behind Yue Rujing.
Upon seeing this, Yue Rujing imdiately quickened the cal’s pace, leading it to run toward the front of the caravan.
Duan Xiaoi, accustod to Yue Rujing’s antics, rode her cal, chasing after him.
Up ahead, Yixi teased, “Brother Yue, little sister is chasing after you so hard, why don’t you wait for her…”
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter erupted.
Gu Youyou also started to find it amusing and said, “Zijin, look, I think they’re quite a match.”
Duan Xiaoi has a heroic and bold spirit rarely found in other won.
As for Yue Rujing, if you didn’t know him well, you’d be captivated by his grace. The two of them riding cals and dashing through the desert is a unique sight.
Jin Zijin also laughed, a rare occurrence to see him smile so openly.
He said, “Duan Xiaoi’s personality isn’t too dull, and Ajing wouldn’t get along with those overly reserved noble ladies. They do seem like a pair of joyfully-bickering frenemies; now, Marquess Yue can be at ease. Just that Ajing does have so aversion to Duan Xiaoi indeed!”
That’s true, Gu Youyou noticed it too.
They were nearing the edge of the desert, with a vast stretch of the Huyang Forest and fresh water ahead.
Everyone beca excited.
Worry lood that if they continued on like this, both people and horses would run out of water.
“Ajing, Yue Rujing, look over there, there’s trees and water…” Duan Xiaoi excitedly shouted, her cal picking up speed, racing toward the Huyang Forest, sand streaming behind.
Yue Rujing squinted to see clearly, called out to those behind, and hurriedly dashed over too.
“There’s water ahead, hurry!” The whole caravan rejoiced.
Duan Xiaoi stopped her cal not far from the lake and ran over to take a sip of fresh water.
But just as she drank her second sip, an arrow whistled toward her.
Having spent years on the battlefield, she wasn’t easily hit by arrows. With just a flip, she dodged it.
Then another arrow ca.
She turned sideways, reached out, and forcibly caught the arrow in her hand.
“Who? Who’s shooting arrows in secret?” she shouted angrily toward the forest.
Up in a tree, a person in strange attire raised a bow and loudly said, “Who are you? This Huyang Forest and water are our possessions.”
