C19 Deadly Offenses

Decisive as it was, Li Shouyi's eyes opened wide, and the hand holding the sword withdrew a third of its strength.

Cui Mengxi dropped the herbs in the bamboo basket and scattered them all over the floor.

"Ugh …" Li Shou withdrew his sword with a clang. "What are you sneaking around for?!"

Ji Qingye's eyes narrowed as he carefully observed the girl's every move and the expression on her face.

Frowning, Cui Mengxi raised her chin, "I would like to ask you, what are you trying to do to my herbs?"

Suddenly, he realized that the military doctor that Ji Qingye was talking about just now was the one standing in front of him. His almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, his lips were red, and his teeth were white; he was completely different from the 'beautiful woman lamp that was broken by the wind' that Ji Qingye had mentioned.

Cui Mengxi glared back angrily.

Moving his feet away, Li Shou discovered that he was stepping on a ginseng. The fight just now had been completely stomped to pieces.

"I …"

"You what you! I've gone through so much trouble to gather medicinal herbs to treat the injured soldiers, but you, you've been completely destroyed. "

Cui Mengxi was pretending not to recognize the young man in front of her, but she also did not know who he was. However, since she was able to talk to Ji Qingye side by side, her position should not be too low.

But in the end, the youth was still a youth. He was used to being cheated on by others on the battlefield, so he was not familiar with the length of the market.

Cui Mengxi's face remained as unperturbed as ever as she picked up the medicine on the ground.

She was about to pick it up when the black boots in front of her suddenly stopped, right in front of her handsome face.

Just now when she came back, from the soldiers' words, it wasn't hard to know that Ji Qingye was looking for her.

It wasn't hard to guess Ji Qingye's thoughts, but he was worried that she would take the opportunity to run away.

Putting aside the fact that she lacked strength, there were knife-wielding soldiers patrolling the area. Even if she had wings, it would still be difficult for her to fly out of the inescapable net.

"You can leave first." Ji Qingye ordered.

"Yes." Cui Mengxi retracted her hand and was about to step back.

The pressure suddenly dropped.

"Li Shouyi, get out."

Li Shou, who was at the side, finally reacted. After being stunned for a while, he cupped his hands and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look at the woman on the ground once more before picking up the curtain and leaving.

Ji Qingye's sword-like eyebrows pierced into his temples as he looked down at the people beneath his feet, "What did you go out to do this morning?"

"Collect herbs."

Cui Mengxi stood tall and straight, staring straight ahead, not yielding at all. Even the linen robe could not conceal the elegance.

Hearing this, Ji Qingye looked at her seriously with doubt flashing across his eyes, "Do you know what treason is?"

Cui Mengxi laughed coldly, getting straight to the point, "A death sentence."

"It's good that you know this." Ji Qingye sneered, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to take even half a step out of the tent without my order."

Although Ji Qingye was suspicious, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he smiled, "Do you understand now?"

"Yes."

Cui Mengxi didn't even blink. Inhibition of her?

It just so happened that she was given a quiet place to recuperate!

Seeing that she wasn't afraid, Ji Qingye adjusted his emotions and called for her.

This squat had caused her legs to become numb and she almost lost her balance. A pair of powerful hands supported her.

Just a light touch, and let go.

Ji Qingye coldly snorted, "Don't try to play any tricks. Remember your own identity!"

"Understood." Cui Mengxi almost forgot. In this kind of environment, there are many different levels of people.

Ji Qingye was merely warning her not to think about anything else.
