Chapter 84: The Rescue Girl (Part 2)
Through the hazy moonlight, Xiao Bi quickly identified the positions of the two people on the bed.
I have to say that these two are really mother and daughter, even their sleeping positions are exactly the same.
She made a clean move and accurately landed on the back of Jing Ruo's neck.
Jing Ruo just hummed slightly and fainted.
"ah……"
Hearing the noise, Miss Xing gave a small cry and quickly covered her mouth with her little hands.
She slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Bi beside the bed.
"Sister, are you here?" She put down her little hand and said softly.
Xiao Bi knew that her eyesight was far inferior to his own, so she deliberately moved closer.
"Were you scared just now?"
Miss Xing shook her head and gently pushed Jing Ruo beside her.
Jing Ruo remained motionless, as if there was no sign of life.
"Sister, is she... dead..."
Xiao Bi rubbed her little head soothingly: "She just fainted. She will wake up in an hour at most."
Miss Xing touched Jing Ruo's long hair with her little hands, leaned forward and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Xiao Bi felt a little sad.
After all, it is the nature of mother and child.
No matter how much the little girl said she hated Jing Ruo, she actually still missed her in her heart.
After this separation, mother and daughter may never have the chance to meet again.
This kiss condensed all her nostalgia for her mother.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long, everyone cherishes it.
"Sister, let's go."
Xiao Bi hummed and untied the baggage on her back.
He took out a small night clothes and put it on for Miss Xing as quickly as possible.
"Xingxing, the northeast corner of this lake is the most laxly guarded place in the entire harem.
So later we have to get into the water first and swim directly from here to that place, are you afraid?"
Miss Xing shook her head: "With my sister here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Xiao Bi caressed her little face: "After you get into the water later, you must not struggle. If the water reaches your mouth and nose, try to hold your breath as much as possible. Do you understand?"
"I know." Miss Xing responded obediently.
Xiao Bi hugged her into his arms and swept her out of the window.
She gently got into the water and swam quickly towards the northeast corner.
Liuyun Palace occupies a small area, and Concubine Rong's bedroom is not too far from here.
The babbling singing and joking voices floated in the silent night, but it made Xiao Bi's heart feel particularly stable.
The two of them got out of the water smoothly and leaned against the wall.
"Is it cold?" Xiao Bi rubbed Miss Xing's thin shoulders.
"I won't feel cold if I rely on my sister."
Xiao Bi hugged her tighter.
After living for more than ten years, she has never seen such a smart, sensible and well-behaved little girl.
No wonder Liang Ruoru and Pu Lan are obsessed with her and want to save her no matter what the cost.
She put her mouth to Miss Xing's ear: "Something big will happen later, and we can take advantage of the chaos to escape."
Miss Xing wanted to ask her what the big deal was, but in the end she chose to keep her mouth shut.
They are not out of danger yet, and keeping quiet is the most important thing.
After about a cup of tea, a noisy sound came from the direction of the king's palace.
Immediately afterwards, a thick smell of smoke wafted into their noses.
"It's gone!" Xiao Bi exclaimed softly.
Not long after, flames were seen rising in the direction of the king's palace, lighting up the night sky.
There were endless cries, and the whole palace was in chaos.
Xiao Bi held Miss Xing's waist tightly with her left hand and gently shook her right hand.
The flying claws firmly grasped the wall, and she took advantage of it to fly up, and the two of them quickly climbed onto the wall.
After another cup of tea, Xiao Bi took Miss Xing to the place agreed with Huan Yu.
"Xiaojiu——"
A familiar male voice sounded, and Xiao Bi quickly looked up.
On the tall and thick outer wall of the palace, Huan Yu, dressed in Liuyun military uniform, was looking at her with a smile.
Xiao Bi gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you hurry up and help me? You're laughing your ass off!"
Huan Yu lowered the rope and took the two of them out in just a few breaths.
Only then did Xiao Bi realize that the entire sky in Liuyun Capital was lit red by the fire, and the air was filled with choking smoke.
"You guys are really having a great time!" She excitedly punched Huan Yu on the arm.
Huan Yu coughed twice, took Miss Xing and said, "Hurry up and find a place to change your wet clothes. We are getting ready to leave the city now."
Xiao Bi quickly changed into a Liuyun military uniform, while Miss Xing transformed into an ordinary-looking boy under Huan Yu's skillful hands.
Huan Yu carried Miss Xing on his back and ran with Xiao Bi. After a while, they ran into a small alley.
A Liang and others had been waiting here for a long time. Then they got on their horses and galloped towards the north gate.
Because there was a fire both inside and outside the city, there were less than twenty soldiers guarding the city, but the city gates were still closed.
The little leader surnamed Song showed the pig head token, and the attitude of the defenders immediately changed.
He said with a smile on his face: "Why are the officers out of the city at this time?"
A Liang shouted angrily: "Are you blind? Didn't you see that there was a fire outside the city? The general asked me to go out of the city to inspect the fire. Why don't you open the city gate quickly!"
The soldier was startled and hurriedly opened the city gate with several other soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people disappeared without a trace.
A soldier guarding the city rubbed his eyes vigorously.
The soldier who had just been talking to A Liang and others pushed him: "Are you sick? Why are you rubbing those eyes?"
"Those people just now... seemed to be carrying a child..."
"What? A child?"
Another soldier came over and said, "Boss, I saw it too. There is indeed a little black boy."
"What the hell, the capital is almost burning down, why don't you allow your children to escape for their lives?"
The soldiers looked dejectedly at the sky as bright as day, with a sense of sadness in their hearts.
Officials can still run away, but they have to stay here. They don’t know if their homes have been affected...
Xiao Bi and his party ran twenty or thirty miles in one breath.
The fire was no longer visible, the smell of smoke was no longer smellable, and both the man and the horse were so tired that they were covered in sweat.
Huan Yu stopped the horse and said, "Everyone, please dismount and rest for a while."
Everyone got off their horses and sat around under a big tree.
Xiao Bi placed Miss Xing on his lap: "Xingxing, you can sleep next to your sister."
"Yeah." Miss Xing tilted her little head and soon began to breathe evenly.
Huan Yu took out a cloak from the baggage and covered Miss Xing's body.
Xiao Bi said: "Brother Huan, the terrain of Liuyun Kingdom is uneven. The area near the capital is considered good. I'm afraid we will have to suffer some hardships next."
Huan Yu said: "Let's go north first, trying to avoid the Tianmu Mountains. When we get to a place where it's really inconvenient to ride a horse, we abandon the horse and walk.
A dozen of us will take turns carrying Miss Xing on our backs, so we won’t be too tired.”
