Chapter 377: Riding Together
The people in front had already run far away. If they fell behind in the dark and encountered danger, the consequences would be disastrous.
If they fell behind again, the emperor would be in a bad mood. If he found out, he would probably blame them.
When you are out, you can't be so particular.
You can only ride with Lord Ning.
"Thank you, sir." Ling Chu thanked him, took Ning Chuyi's hand, climbed on the horse, and sat behind him.
"Sit tight." Ning Chuyi said briefly and pulled the reins.
Taxue immediately ran forward like lightning.
Although the accompanying guards felt that it was inappropriate to let Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi ride together, they could only do it in an emergency under the current situation.
Seeing that Ning Chuyi's horse had already run a distance, the guards also hurriedly rode to catch up, full of envy.
Ning Chuyi's horse Taxue is indeed a good horse with a strong body, well-developed muscles, and shiny fur.
And it is fast and has great endurance.
The mounts under them have shown signs of fatigue, but the state of treading on the snow looks not much different from when they just set out.
Even if they are now carrying the weight of two people, they still throw their mounts far away when they run.
Ling Chu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was a little worried that Ning Chuyi's mount would not be able to bear the weight, but she was surprised.
Such a good horse is not only wanted by the guards, but also coveted by her.
It's a pity that there are not many good horses, and good horses are also hard to find.
Today's weather is a bit unusual.
It changes in an instant.
In just a short while, the rain as big as beans turned into a downpour.
Although they wore hats and raincoats, they could not resist the wind and rain in the wind and rain.
However, with Ning Chuyi standing in front to block the rain and cold wind, Ling Chu felt much better than when she was riding alone before.
It's hard work, Lord Ning.
Ling Chu sighed, a little worried.
She owed Lord Ning more and more, and she didn't know when she could pay it back.
I hope she can live longer, longer. Otherwise, if she died one day, she still owed Ning Chuyi a lot of debts, and she would be guilty even if she died.
After thinking about it for a while, Ling Chu collected her thoughts, grabbed Ning Chuyi's clothes on his back with her left hand, and used her right hand to calculate.
Not long after, her face changed slightly.
This time she actually calculated it. Although the details were not clear, it showed that there was danger ahead.
For fear of not calculating correctly, Ling Chu calculated again quickly.
The result was the same.
"Lord Ning, can you go faster? I calculated a fortune, and there might be danger ahead. We have to catch up with the people in front as soon as possible."
The rain was heavy and the wind was strong, and the sound of horse hooves continued.
Ling Chu was worried that Ning Chuyi couldn't hear clearly, so he could only straighten his body and try to get closer to his ear.
Ning Chuyi noticed that she was holding his clothes with only one hand, and was worried that she would be thrown off the horse again.
He turned his head and wanted to remind her to hold on tight.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chu just approached his ear and spoke.
When he tilted his head, Ling Chu's lips almost kissed his cheek.
Ning Chuyi's heart tightened, and he leaned back without making a sound.
But the two were close, so he couldn't help but smell her breath.
But Ning Chuyi didn't have time to care when he heard Ling Chu's words.
He said "Hold on tight" and turned back to signal Taxue to move forward at full speed.
Ling Chu's mind was on the team in front, and he didn't notice that Ning Chuyi's ears were red and his voice was a little hoarse.
She was also worried about being thrown off again, so she could only hold Ning Chuyi's clothes tightly with both hands.
The guards behind saw that Taxue's speed was faster, and worried about being thrown off, so they could only grit their teeth and chase with all their strength.
The guards didn't know Ling Chu had read the fortune. They only wanted to catch up with the emperor and his entourage as soon as possible so that they could stop and rest for a while.
If they continued running like this, even if they could bear it, the horses under them would be exhausted.
Running fast, Ling Chu suddenly pressed against Ning Chuyi's back under the influence of inertia, and subconsciously hugged his waist with both hands.
It was raining heavily and the wind was strong, and there was danger ahead. In this situation, he should have been anxious.
But Ling Chu suddenly had a thought in his mind, Lord Ning's waist was really strong and powerful.
Realizing what he was thinking, Ling Chu felt embarrassed.
Lord Ning wouldn't think she was taking advantage of the opportunity, right?
Never, never.
With a wail in his heart, Ling Chu hurriedly used both hands to hold Ning Chuyi's waist to gain strength, and tried his best to straighten his body. He wanted to leave some distance to avoid Lord Ning's misunderstanding.
Running too fast, the cold wind whistled past his ears.
In order to prevent herself from being left behind, Ling Chu did not dare to continue hugging Lord Ning, and could only pull his clothes as before.
However, due to excessive force, her knuckles turned white and hurt. But she did not dare to make a sound, for fear of affecting her speed.
She could only grit her teeth and hold on, praying in her heart that she could catch up with the emperor and his entourage as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Lord Ning's clothes were made of good material and were not torn by her.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to face him in the future.
Ling Chu raised her head and stole a glance at Ning Chuyi, and found that he was not abnormal, and she was really relieved.
However, what she did not know was that although Ning Chuyi did not react, it did not mean that he did not notice her actions just now.
The two of them rode together and were close to each other.
Ling Chu suddenly pressed against his back and hugged his waist with both hands.
In fact, he felt the softness of his back the first time.
Ning Chuyi's waist suddenly stiffened, and a dark feeling surged in his sword-like eyes. He pursed his thin lips slightly, and his hands holding the reins clenched tightly.
But Ling Chu, who was sitting behind him, did not notice his abnormality.
Ning Chuyi knew that the two of them were in an inappropriate posture, and wanted to remind him, but he was afraid that she was a girl with a thin skin. When he was hesitating and struggling, he noticed Ling Chu's movements and realized that she was pulling the distance between them.
While he was relieved, he also felt a sense of loss.
But soon, he noticed that Ling Chu seemed to be secretly looking at him.
Ning Chuyi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously gathered his mind and focused on hurrying on.
In order to avoid the embarrassing situation just now, Ning Chuyi could only focus on controlling the rhythm of stepping on the snow.
After chasing for about a quarter of an hour, Ning Chuyi faintly heard the sound of swords and knives coming from the front.
The breath around him suddenly condensed.
As Taxue ran closer and closer, Lingchu also heard the sound of swords.
She subconsciously wanted to see the situation ahead, but was blocked by Ning Chuyi's tall body.
Just as she was worried, Ning Chuyi asked Taxue to stop. Turning back to her, he said, "There are threats ahead, you stay here, I will go to help the emperor and them."
After saying that, Ning Chuyi handed the reins to Lingchu, picked up the long sword, and flew forward.
Lingchu took the reins and looked up.
At the edge of the woods, the emperor's team was besieged by a group of masked men.
Faced with this situation, Lingchu did not hide aside.
Pulling the reins with both hands, "Go!"
Taxue immediately ran forward.
Ling Chu summoned a large shovel and a small hammer from the system and smashed them at the masked men...
