Chapter 999 Love at First Sight, Determined for Life

The man crossed his arms and looked at her coolly.

His eyes were cooler than the moonlight shining down from above his head.

Qianyi couldn't hold back her momentum, her small shoulders slowly retracted, and she moved back to the man, "I will really help you, but before I help you, you have to help me first..."

Seeing the man's eyes narrowed, Qian Yi quickly added, "We are friends! Help each other!"

Xue Qinglian turned around and left.

He hated being threatened the most in his life.

With mouth and feet, he didn't believe that he could still be trapped to death in Xiliang, unable to find his way back.

The sound of footsteps catching up from behind, the woman took his hand, "Really, I'm not lying to you, the only way out is really the one in our village, I have slipped out from there before!"

Xue Qinglian shook her hand away, gave her a cold look, and kept walking.

That look made Qianyi's heart shudder, and finally she gritted her teeth and chased after him again, this time she hugged the man's arm tightly and refused to let go, "Don't go, if you go out from the checkpoint, you will really be thrown into a prison and beaten to death , I have an order from the emperor that anyone who suspects a black household will be punished!"

"I have never allowed other countries to visit, nor have diplomatic relations with other countries. The border checkpoints are particularly strict in implementing the emperor's decrees. Don't make fun of your own life just because you are angry with me! At worst, I don't want your help, I will help you escape It's not good to go out!"

In the end, the woman had already started to cry.

She fell into his hands and was dragged by him for more than ten meters, but she refused to let go just like that.

"I didn't mean to lie to you. I just didn't tell you in advance that I want you to do me a favor. Why are you so angry? If you don't help me, don't help me. I'll just think of another way..."

Limping, sobbing, as if he had been wronged by the sky.

"What can I do for you?" Xue Qinglian asked, rubbing the space between her eyebrows.

The woman looked up in surprise, her eyes under the moonlit night were sparkling and moist, like a puppy picked up by its owner after being discarded, "Will you help me?"

"Stand up and talk." Headache.

A woman who wraps her hands and feet around people at every turn, like an octopus, is there something wrong?

Don't know how to avoid suspicion?

"It's okay, I'm not tired, I can say that!" Qianyi's eyes lit up, and there was a door!

Xue Qinglian sneered, "I'm tired."

He hangs a weight of several tens of kilograms on his hand, even if he has the strength, he will not pull it, he is lazy.

With her feet on the ground, Qianyi stood firm, and she did not forget to help the man smooth out the wrinkles of his sleeves and trousers, "It's easy for me to help you. You don't need to do anything, you just need to be my guardian for a while."

"protector?"

"Let's talk as we walk," Qianyi dragged the man into the village, before Qianyi began to talk about the reason, "Every April, the emperor will select girls of the right age from our village to enter the palace. Lose."

"What is a guardian?" Xue Qinglian raised her eyebrows.

"It's the marriage partner of the girls in our village." After finishing speaking, Qianyi immediately explained, "Don't worry, I know you have a sweetheart, and it's just a stopgap measure to let you be my guardian. If you leave, I will definitely not defile you, let alone make you a ungrateful person!"

"..." The corners of Xue Qinglian's mouth twitched, and she finally chose not to explain.

He can't talk to a bastard.

"It's already March, and it will take at most one month until the emperor's selection ends in April, and it won't delay you for too long."

"Didn't you say that the Emperor of Xiliang has an order that all black households found will be punished? I am a black household, why do you dare to take me into the village?" Xue Qinglian obviously noticed that the woman's footsteps were stagnant, pretending to be ignorant, and casually said, "Also, When someone asks you, what do you say? Will you be accused of covering up and arrested? Or, your village is afraid that you will be implicated and expel you?"

"... Cough, no." The woman answered this sentence in a low voice, vaguely.

"What did you say?"

"I said no," Qianyi bit the bullet and said after a while, "Our village has privileges."

privilege.

Xue Qinglian looked at the woman with deep eyes.

In Xiliang, what kind of privileged place would it be?

I wanted to ask further, the two had already entered the stockade, and someone from far away rushed over immediately upon seeing them.

Xue Qinglian stared, and found that the person rushing was a young woman, dressed differently from Qian Yi, Qian Yi probably wore light-colored casual clothes for the convenience of travel.

The women should be wearing Xiliang women's costumes, which are colorful and have a hat full of gold and silver leaves on their heads, which looks very gorgeous.

The woman rushed in front of the two of them and immediately scolded Qian Yi, "Where did you go today, Qian Yi? Do you know that the special envoy who came to pick someone up is almost here? When I called for someone, I found you were not there, and the elder sent me a big message." Temper, you hurry up and explain to her, or you will be punished!"

After finishing speaking, I found the man walking behind the woman, and immediately exclaimed, "Who is he? Qianyi, why did you bring the man into the village?"

"What are you talking about, it makes people look unsteady. He is my guardian," Qianyi raised her chin, "I have a marriage partner, even if the special envoy really comes, it's nothing to do with me. I'll go to the elders and make it clear later."

The woman on the opposite side gasped, and looked back and forth between Qianyi and the man for a long while, but couldn't believe it was true.

"How is it possible, you obviously didn't..."

"How can it be impossible? He and I fell in love at first sight, and we decided to be together for life immediately." Pulling Xue Qinglian around the woman, "It's okay, don't hang around here, go back to the house quickly, lest the elders see you and scold you for not doing your job properly."

"...Qianyi, you haven't told me his name yet!" A voice came from behind.

"What's the rush, I'll report to the elder first and then I'll talk to you slowly!" Qian Yi secretly rolled her eyes, she asked if she was going to talk? I don't know if it's his real name yet.

While the two were talking, Xue Qinglian had secretly observed the surrounding environment.

After walking in, I found that although there are bamboo buildings everywhere, each bamboo building is independent, with yards and walls, which are actually similar to the houses in Nanling.

Walking on the road at this time, it is almost impossible to meet people in the village, so they should all be ready to rest.

When passing by those bamboo courtyards, I could occasionally hear human voices coming from inside.

Under the moonlit night, even the smallest voices are very clear, which shows the tranquility of the whole village.

And this kind of tranquility is completely different from Xinghua Village, showing a kind of restraint.

Keeping her composure, Xue Qinglian pretended not to notice anything strange, followed Qianyi around and turned right, and finally stopped in front of a bamboo building.

"This is where I live. You are my guardian. You can live in a bamboo building with me." Pushing open the courtyard door, under the clear moonlight, Qianyi took out an oil lamp from a recess in the courtyard wall, Light it up with a torch, and greet the person who is still standing at the door to come in, "I am the only one living in the whole yard, no one will disturb you, don't worry."

It's the 2nd and I don't want to count down the clock at all...
