Chapter 1535: The Month Is Getting Older (5)
Following the direction in which Xiaobai had sniffed out, they found it was just over a hill and they were out of Governor’s Office Mountain, only to see a desert outside, with a road stretching into the distance within the desert.
In other words, this place wasn’t very far from the grasslands once you left it.
"It looks like Miss Peng was taken to the Royal Court of Yuan Country," Yang Ruxin concluded in the end, "As for how to rescue her, I’ll leave the planning to you all."
"Mm," Qi Jingyi nodded, "Let’s go back and discuss with Brother Crown Prince first, and then make a long-term plan."
Yang Ruxin nodded; she wouldn’t boast and claim she could do the rescue on her own, even with Xiaobai, Xiaohei, and the others’ help, she wasn’t capable enough to confront a whole country.
She was aware of her own limitations.
Besides, Peng Jing wasn’t worth the risks for her.
On the way back, regardless of the others, Yang Ruxin felt much more relaxed with Gu Qingheng’s company, and even picked a lot of herbs.
Gu Qingheng was in such a good mood that he picked wildflowers and wove a garland for her.
As for the two flaunting their affection, Qi Jingyi could only roll his eyes and grumble now and then, "Acting like somebody’s woman."
"You’re jealous," Gu Qingheng slightly raised his eyebrows, "You have women, but alas, none that would stick with you through life and death, what a pity."
"You..." Qi Jingyi was at a loss for words, pointing at Gu Qingheng without being able to articulate a response, "You think I can’t snatch your wife away?"
"I don’t believe it!" Yang Ruxin chimed in, "Unless his wife changes, you won’t be able to steal her away, so don’t waste your effort and end up embarrassing yourself."
