she has golden eyes

Chapter 52 Tenderness
Mei Xue returned to the inn, packed her bags and prepared to return to Luoyang.

After leaving the courtyard gate, she found that Shen Qingyang was already waiting for her, beside the two horses they rode when they came.

The prisoners related to the case of Princess Chenyang were naturally escorted by the government.

It was late autumn, and the mountain road was cold and windy in the evening.

The two white horses that Mei Xue and Shen Qingyang were riding galloped side by side, in front of them was a narrow lane with steep cliffs on both sides.

Shen Qingyang suddenly shouted, and reached out to grab the rein in Mei Xue's hand.

The two galloping white horses were dragged to a stop by him at the same time, making a long neighing sound together.

Mei Xue immediately hugged the white horse's neck, bent down and pressed herself tightly against the horse's back.

"There is an ambush, you run."

Before Shen Qingyang had time to say more, he punched the horse that Mei Xue was riding, and he himself had already drawn out his sword and charged forward.

The sound of killing suddenly rose, and hundreds of people rushed out from the woods on both sides of the road.

Judging from the weapons in their hands, Mei Xue could tell that these people must be officers and soldiers, but they didn't wear the clothes.

And the only ones who can mobilize officers and soldiers to ambush them thousands of miles away are Yan Tie and his family.

Knowing that staying by herself would only increase Shen Qingyang's burden, Mei Xue galloped back without any hesitation.

However, there were still too many ambushes, Shen Qingyang obviously couldn't stop them all in time, an arrow shot to the hip of the white horse that Mei Xue was riding.

Another arrow flew past Mei Xue's head.

If she hadn't been leaning over and clinging to the horse's back, the arrow would have hit her in the back.

Pained and frightened, the white horse no longer ran back along the mountain road, but ran up the mountain like crazy.

Shen Qingyang, who was struggling to kill, quickly glanced at the direction in which Mei Xue and the white horse disappeared, his eyes instantly turned blood red.

Branches and thorns slid across her head, face and body. Mei Xue clenched her teeth in pain, but she dared not close her eyes. She kept nervously searching for a chance to jump.

A crazy horse is running wildly among the rocky mountains, and it may fall down the deep mountain or hit the rock wall at any time, and that is fatal.

However, Mei Xue hadn't found the time yet, and already felt that the horse under her was gone.

She immediately pulled her feet out of the pedals, clamped the horse's back tightly, and tried to make herself as close as possible to the horse's back.

The night was dark, with the wind whistling in her ears, Mei Xue gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

The moment she landed, Mei Xue felt relieved suddenly, because she was sure that her whole body was covered by the white horse.

Mei Xue believed that Shen Qingyang would definitely survive, and he would come to find her.

Her throat was so dry and painful, Mei Xue struggled and coughed twice, and immediately felt water coming to her mouth.

She hastily drank a few sips, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Qingyang who was half-naked.

She was held in his arms, wrapped in his clothes, blood-stained clothes.

Looking at each other, Shen Qingyang's eyes were red, and he choked up and said:
"Mei Xue, I was really... really scared before I found you, I thought I would lose you forever."

Mei Xue looked at Shen Qingyang's red eyes and the new wounds on his neck and shoulders, silently sighed in his heart and said:

"Master Shen, I'm fine, I just fainted from the fall, please let me go!"

Shen Qingyang hurriedly stood up with Mei Xue in his arms, and put her on the flat ground beside the fire.

It was a very spacious cave, and Mei Xue took a few sips of water slowly while holding the water bag, silently looking at the dark night outside.

Shen Qingyang went outside to cut a piece of horse meat and came back, sitting on the stone beside the fire and roasting it slowly.

He glanced at Mei Xue quietly, then turned his face away and said:
"I was just afraid that you would be cold, so... I hugged you for a while, and I didn't do anything else."

Mei Xue looked at Shen Qingyang, smiled calmly and said:
"My trust in Mr. Shen doesn't stop there. Also, thank you for coming back to me."

In such a cold night, if Shen Qingyang didn't find her in time, even if she survived, she would definitely be injured.

Shen Qingyang licked his lips and smiled, like a child who got a compliment.

The two ate the barbecue separately, Shen Qingyang insisted that Mei Xue drink more water, but he himself refused to drink a sip.

It was dawn soon, and Mei Xue refused to let Shen Qingyang carry her on her back, so she followed behind him and walked down the mountain step by step with difficulty.

Before reaching the foot of the mountain, they met the officers and soldiers who searched the mountain.

Yuan Hao, the commander-in-chief, quickly found him, and excitedly said to Shen Qingyang:
"Master Shen, Miss Mei, I have found you."

Shen Qingyang killed all the soldiers in ambush, and the caravan traveling at night found the body and reported it to Qingzhou government office overnight.

Shen Qingyang smiled coldly and ignored Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao smiled uglier than crying, knelt on the ground and tried to explain.

The people who ambushed Shen Qingyang and Mei Xue were indeed officers and soldiers, but they were not directly under him, but officers and soldiers stationed in Shouguang County.

Shen Qingyang snorted, took a few sips from the water bag Yuan Hao was holding, and said:
"Find out the matter, especially the relationship between these people and the Yan family and the Tie family, and send a secret report to me in the capital."

Yuan Hao responded repeatedly, and led Mei Xue and Shen Qingyang to the foot of the mountain.

After changing clothes and eating in the small town, Mei Xue treated Shen Qingyang's wounds.

Yuan Hao had asked people to re-prepare horses, dry rations and water bags, and watched Shen Qingyang and Mei Xue go away before he wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

He killed more than 300 well-trained soldiers with swords and arrows by himself, but he only suffered some skin injuries. In the entire Jin Dynasty, Shen Qingyang was probably the only one with this ability.

But that miracle doctor named Mei Xue is also powerful enough, a little girl, after going through such a dangerous night, is not even half abnormal.

On the way back, Mei Xue and Shen Qingyang arrived at the hut where they came in the middle of the night. She changed Shen Qingyang's dressing, smiled and said:

"Master Shen's shoulders are almost covered with scars."

Shen Qingyang also laughed, put on his clothes indifferently and said:
"God has rewarded me with several lives, what is it to give me this little scar?"

Mei Xue was silent for a while, then said softly:
"If your mother and your sister are alive in heaven, they will definitely feel distressed when they see you like this."

Shen Qingyang ignored Mei Xue, turned his face and stood with her back.

Mei Xue sighed softly and continued:
"Whether it's for those who love us or for those we love, we should all live better.

For example, you can at least drink less and take care of your body more. "

After a long time, Shen Qingyang finally turned around, his eyes were filled with tears, but his voice was very cold:

"I have thought about living a good life, but you don't allow me to love you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingyang walked out without looking back.

Mei Xue was stunned, bit her lip and turned her face away after a long time.

Throughout the second half of the night, Shen Qingyang did not enter the house again.

After dawn, Mei Xue walked out of the hut and found that Shen Qingyang was already waiting for her.

All the way in silence, the two arrived at the gate of Luoyang City at the end of noon.

Mei Xue went to Shu Palace, Shen Qingyang directly entered the palace.

Mei Gang and Gao Yuan stood guard at the gate of the mansion. As soon as they saw Mei Xue, they ran to meet her.

Mei Xue came back much earlier than expected.

Mei Gang looked at the scratches on Mei Xue's face and neck with distress, but couldn't say anything.

Gao Yuan was so anxious that he refused to let Mei Xue walk again, so he had to call a soft sedan to carry her.

Mei Xue couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to accept Gao Yuan's arrangement.

Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie were supposed to be talking together, and they came out together.

Mei Xue was dusty, with blood scabs from tiny scratches on her hands and face.

Li Jinzhi pursed his lips in pain, and there was no smile on his face.

Song Zhijie glanced at Li Jinzhi, lowered his eyes with a smile.

The three of them sat down, and Mei Xue talked about Cai Yu and the attack on the way in detail, and Song Zhijie smiled and said:
"Very good, the Tie family has finally made a move. My son, Miss Mei, I still have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

Both Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue stood up, Song Zhijie signaled them not to see them off, and left quickly alone.

Mei Xue smiled slightly, and said to Li Jinzhi:

"Seeing how impatient Mr. Song is, the good news will probably come soon."

Li Jinzhi didn't answer her words, and put the fan on the table, and he had already walked in front of her.

"I know the situation must be much more serious than what you said, these injuries, these injuries..."

Li Jinzhi's eyes were full of anxiety, and he raised his hand, but he didn't dare to touch Mei Xue.

Mei Xue was amused by Li Jinzhi's bewildered look, and comforted him by saying:

"It doesn't even count as a skin injury, so don't worry about it. I'll go back and rest for a while. I'm going to the palace tomorrow to see the princess and the princess."

After Mei Xue finished speaking, she walked out, but Li Jinzhi couldn't bear it after all, and wrapped her arms around Mei Xue's waist from behind and pulled her into his arms.

Li Jinzhi's body has a faint medicinal smell, very similar to the smell when Mother held her in the past, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

After a long time, Mei Xue gently touched Li Jinzhi's hand and said:

"Then I'll go back first, you can take a nap at ease."

Li Jinzhi let go of his hand slowly, watching Mei Xue go out, he hurriedly followed out again.

Gao Yuan was still waiting in the yard, and as soon as he saw Mei Xue, he hurriedly called the woman who carried the sedan chair over.

Just like that, he was still worried, and actually followed behind and sent them to the inner courtyard.

Peng Liang was stunned and said to Li Jinzhi:
"Master, what's wrong with Gao Yuan? He's embarrassing Miss Mei."

Li Jinzhi laughed and said to Peng Liang:
"Gao Yuan received two monthly payments this month, but you didn't."

Peng Liang opened his mouth wide again, only then did he notice that Li Jinzhi's face was blushing, he hurriedly turned his face to look in the direction Mei Xue left, and finally smiled as if suddenly enlightened.

Li Jinzhi's face became even redder, and after kicking Peng Liang lightly, he turned and entered the room.
