In just two days, Yun Miaoyin has traveled thousands of miles. According to this speed, it will take another three days to reach the northwest.

After all, her physique is not as strong as those who practice martial arts like Yin Wei and Le Yao, so she can barely keep up with the progress.

And Xiao Qingye's large army should still be a long way from here.

"Girl, after the meal, do you need to stay here?" The shopkeeper went directly to her table and asked earnestly.

Seeing that it was getting late, it was unrealistic to drive any longer, and she only needed to arrive earlier than Xiao Qingye's troops, so she complied.

The shopkeeper of this inn was a bit too enthusiastic, there were obviously many guests, but he kept entertaining them all the time.

This made Yun Miaoyin a little vigilant, but after one night, nothing happened.

After resting, Yun Miaoyin and his group began to travel day and night, and finally on the third day, they arrived at a small town in the northwest called Yancheng.

Yancheng itself is extremely rich, but now every household is closed, few people walk on the streets, and it is desolate.

Yun Miaoyin also inquired for a long time, and only then did she find out the current location of her mother's natal Sheng family.

However, Gu's residence is really hidden, and there is still a desert to go there.

Yun Miaoyin made some preparations in Yancheng, without any delay, she went directly to the desert.

The desert is even more desolate. Before the bandits ran rampant, there were some passing merchants, but now they have walked for half a day but have not seen a single person.

The hidden guards of the Yun Mansion couldn't help complaining, just when Yun Miaoyin was pulling the horse and was about to be unable to hold on.

In the distance, a shadow of green light suddenly appeared.

Everyone started to get excited, Yun Miaoyin was also very happy, but at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and everyone's feet began to collapse.

Slowly, the feeling of subsidence under their feet became more and more intense, and Yun Miaoyin yelled in her heart that it was not good, they only cared about seeing the doorway that appeared in front of them, but they didn't notice that they had fallen into the quicksand!

There was no one around, and the hidden guards who came with her were all trapped in quicksand.

Le Yao has not yet reached the range of the quicksand, but she was lucky enough to avoid falling into it.

But the vortex they fell into was too far away. Le Yao tried many methods, but she still couldn't reach it.

Yun Miaoyin sank deeper and deeper, and in a blink of an eye she had already reached her neck, just when she wanted to sigh that this life would end so hard again.

But her arm was pulled violently, she only felt her waist being embraced by someone, but her feet were already higher than the desert.

It wasn't until she had a solid feeling under her feet that Yun Miaoyin suddenly opened her eyes, but she saw someone who she never expected to appear here.

"The army should be two days away from here, why are you here?" Yun Miaoyin asked in disbelief.

"You have never been a reassuring person, but now you are here and you didn't tell me, do you really think I don't know?" Xiao Qingye's tone was already sharp: "I don't have any skills. , but you still want to be brave, if I hadn't saved you today, would you have survived?"

Yun Miaoyin's gaze couldn't help looking at the quicksand, the hidden guards of the Yun Mansion were all trapped in it, but now they were above their heads, and there was no way to rescue them.

A trace of fear flashed through Yun Miaoyin's heart, but after hearing Xiao Qingye's words, she couldn't help becoming angry: "I didn't ask you to save me."

As he said that, he turned his head away to look at Le Yao who was facing the quicksand.

Le Yao also looked a little anxious, and his eyes kept turning to her.

Before reaching Sheng's house, the guards around her were already damaged. Although Le Yao's kung fu was not as abnormal as Xiao Qingye's, he could still protect her.

Yun Miaoyin hesitated for a moment, but she had no choice but to say: "Since you have already made it here, help me send my maid over there."

Xiao Qingye's expression was still tinged with anger, but he directly threw a rope to the opposite side.

Le Yao just grabbed the rope and was pulled over by him.

Only then did Yun Miaoyin heave a sigh of relief. Although she never thought how peaceful the journey would be, she also never thought that such a horrible thing would happen.

"Let's go." Yun Miaoyin couldn't help but patted Le Yao's body beside her, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Fortunately, I left the army and followed you first to protect you. Is that how you treat me?"

Yun Miaoyin paused, but the inexplicable feeling in her heart became more and more intense.

But she didn't want to admit it, but she didn't even turn around, and said directly: "Prince Duan, this time I want to thank you very much, but some things can't be achieved just by being moved."

As he said that, he had already taken another step.

Xiao Qingye was about to catch up, but saw a sachet dropped from the ground.

He couldn't help but reached out to pick it up, but saw a red lotus embroidered on it.

The corner of Xiao Qingye's mouth suddenly relaxed, but he said directly: "You seem to have dropped something."

Yun Miaoyin couldn't help turning her head, but she saw the sachet in his hand.

She really didn't know why she was stunned that day, and she actually embroidered a sachet for him, so she walked up to Xiao Qingye in two or three steps, and said angrily, "Give it back to me!"

Xiao Qingye laughed unscrupulously: "Isn't this just for me? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

The above is a unique cross-stitch embroidery method, Yun Miaoyin does not know these ancient embroidery methods, but chose the cross-stitch that she knows a little bit at least.

"Since it's in my hands, I won't give it back to you." Xiao Qingye put it in his sleeves, and said in a good mood, "Let's go."

Yun Miaoyin followed behind Xiao Qingye annoyed.

She embroidered this cross-stitch, but she didn't intend to give it to him. She just put it on her body when she came out this time. It seemed that she had been exposed, but she couldn't help being annoyed.

The green place they saw before was indeed the Sheng family's.

Several people came to the door, but there was an attendant without a handle at the door of the yard.

Yun Miaoyin frowned and looked at Xiao Qingye who was at the side: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to do what you came for." Xiao Qingye replied naturally, but she had already reached out and knocked on the door.

Inside, a man who looked like a servant walked over, looking at the two of them with a vigilant expression.

Yun Miaoyin came forward directly and introduced her identity: "I am the daughter of the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. I am here today to find my grandfather. Please pass it on to me."

The boy's eyes turned into a sizing look, and he said, "Do you have a token?"

Yun Miaoyin immediately handed over the jade pendant her mother left her.
