Princess Jiaojiao is fierce and charming, making him blush and heartbeat

Chapter 32 Isn't it worthy of your trust?

After hearing the voice, Qiao Ji immediately pulled Xie Liangyue aside and hid.

But because the place is too spacious and there are too few places where the body can be covered, the two of them can only stick together to avoid being discovered.

Xie Liangyue lay on Qi Yujin's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her face turned red for a moment.

"This period of time is not peaceful. I heard that strangers have come to the island these days."

"Yeah, when I was going out just now, I heard someone on the street saying that I had found it, and I was looking for it."

"Hey, we have been here on this island for so many years. Who would have thought that so many northerners would suddenly come here a few years ago, and something like this would happen. Now I am wary of outsiders every day. I guess, the days to come will be sad. .”

The meaning of these two people's words is very vague, but Xie Liangyue and the two can understand it [-]% to [-]%.

They are foreign visitors in the other party's mouth, and what happened in the past few years is probably doing private salt.

Xie Liangyue seemed to understand why they were so defensive, probably because they were afraid that the private salt would be exposed.

In this way, if they had not come here by accident, it would be difficult for the imperial court to find out.

But who is so courageous to buy the whole island?
Xie Liangyue was still puzzled, and then felt Qiao Ji's hand on her back lightly patted.

She looked up and asked with her eyes: What's wrong?
Qiao Ji seemed to have heard her heart, and carefully took her hand over, writing on it: Foreigners.

Xie Liangyue was shocked, she frowned, and asked with her eyes: How do you know.

Qiao Ji sighed, hesitated for a while, and when he was about to write something more, he suddenly heard a commotion.

"Have you seen anyone?"

A group of residents came out from the entrance of the tunnel they came from, and asked the two people just now.

The two of them were a little confused for a while, and it took a long time to realize that they didn't see it.

Xie Liangyue and the two hid aside, not even daring to breathe, for fear that they would be exposed if they didn't pay attention.

People outside are still searching around.

The man in the lead was still yelling: "No one found it when I came in. What are you doing? Damn, search carefully, don't let people run away."

Just now Qiao Ji told her that this place is related to foreign barbarians, but the accent of this person sounds like an inlander.

Xie Liangyue's mind was a little confused. Could it be that someone in Daqu colluded with foreign barbarians to cooperate in the production and sale of private salt?
If any one of these things is singled out, it is a crime of beheading. She thinks this matter is too ridiculous. How many heads can be lost?

In a daze, she felt Qiao Ji's body getting tighter and tighter, and the next moment she heard Qiao Ji quickly say in her ear: "Run to the exit."

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from behind where they were hiding. Qiao Ji pushed her aside and greeted her.

He forced the people back, and then shouted at Xie Liangyue: "Run!"

Xie Liangyue raised her leg and rushed towards the exit, but this door was so special that she couldn't open it at all.

Seeing that Qiao Ji was about to be unable to resist, she finally touched the switch in the crack of the stone beside her.

Xie Liangyue was overjoyed, and was about to open it, but was hit by a rock from behind.

"what!"

The stone was not very big, but the edge was very sharp because it was broken, and a bloodstain was drawn on the back of her hand in an instant.

Just in this gap, someone rushed to stop her movement, but Qiao Ji kicked her away the moment she was about to touch Xie Liangyue.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Qiao Ji pulled over the wooden shelf where the salt was placed and smashed it towards the back. The crushed salt on the shelf instantly scattered and scattered all over the group of people like snowflakes.

Xie Liangyue hurriedly opened the door while he was throwing airs, and the two quickly ran outside. It took them an unknown amount of time before they completely shook off the group of people.

"Whoosh. Whoosh."

Xie Liangyue fell to the ground uncontrollably, panting heavily, stumbling and saying to Qiao Ji: "I, I can't run anymore."

Qiao Ji's illness has not recovered quickly, and his legs are also a little weak at this time.

He supported his knees with both hands, looked around carefully, and found that no one was chasing him, so he sat next to Xie Liangyue.

"Then take a break, isn't it hard?"

Xie Liangyue saw that he was sweating profusely, with his hair sticking to his face, and looked very embarrassed, but when he looked at her, he was gentle and caring.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe her sweat, shook her head and said, "It's okay."

Qiao Ji nodded and said, "Let's see if there is any place to stay nearby. I guess we can only hide here for a while today."

Xie Liangyue looked at the trees and grass all over the mountains, and frowned uncomfortably.

After a short rest, Qiao Ji got up and pulled Xie Liangyue up, and the two went to find a place together.

Fortunately, they found a cave where they could live not long after.

This cave is not big, and there are many weeds at the entrance of the cave.

Qiao Ji was worried that there would be beasts inside, so he went in to check first, leaving the worried Xie Liangyue to probe outside frequently.

Soon after Qiao Ji came out and said that it was safe inside, Xie Liangyue felt relieved and walked in with him.

"Why don't we get rid of the weeds outside?"

Seeing Qiao Ji messing up the weeds at the entrance of the cave, Xie Liangyue asked puzzledly.

"In case someone finds this way, these weeds can at least help us cover up a little bit." Qiao Ji replied.

Xie Liangyue nodded, she turned around, sat down in a place in the cave, and said casually:
"It's so hot outside, but it's pretty cool in this cave."

After Qiao Ji finished, she came over, took out a wild fruit from her bosom and handed it to her.

Xie Liangyue's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Where did you get it from?"

"When I just came here, I picked it outside."

Xie Liangyue's cheeks were bulging with fruit, and her voice was vague: "When? Why didn't I see it?"

She looked cute like a child, Qiao Ji looked at her and smiled, but said nothing.

After a while, Xie Liangyue felt a little embarrassed seeing him staring at her all the time.

She swallowed what was in her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth, and asked, "What do you always look at me for?"

Qiao Ji didn't answer, but looked at her with distressed face, and asked, "Why did you insist on coming to Jiangnan before?"

Xie Liangyue didn't expect him to ask about this matter again, her eyes darkened, she hesitated for a long time before she said: "This is none of your business, you just need to do your job well."

Qiao Ji frowned, "What is my job?"

"Protect my safety." Xie Liangyue replied.

Suddenly, a nameless anger rose in Qiao Ji's heart. He knew why she did this very well, but he still worried about what happened before he recalled the memories of his previous life.

He just wanted her to tell him herself, but she still didn't trust him.

"Am I not worthy of your trust?"

Xie Liangyue heard Qiao Ji say: "Even if you risk your life to rescue you from the East Palace, isn't it worthy of your trust?"
