Although Xu Fengwu spoke casually, he did not dare to be careless.
Everyone rode their horses and galloped all the way, only choosing the secluded path to walk on. They had been rushing for an entire night.
The next morning, Xu Fengwu and the other men were still fine, but Dalibo had a bitter look on his face. She had never suffered so much since she was young.
At this moment, Dalibo was sitting on the saddle, leaning softly in Xu Fengwu's arms. His little face was pale.
Last night, this little princess was lying on the horse's back and couldn't stand the jolting. She directly spat out bitter water and now, she had yet to recover.
Xu Fengwu felt sorry for her, so he untied her legs and let her sit in front of him.
Xu Fengwu looked around and saw that they were surrounded by dense forests. He immediately said,"Everyone has been traveling all night, so let's rest here for a while. Chen Xing, go and take a look around. See if there are any towns or houses nearby so that you can buy some food and water.”
They had traveled for an entire night. Even if Ye Lui Dezhong discovered that his daughter was missing and sent out a large number of soldiers to search for her, it would be difficult for them to catch up.
Moreover, Ye Lui Dechong did not know their whereabouts.
"Young Master, please wait!" Chen Xing nodded, took everyone's water bags, and immediately rode off.
The group walked into the dense forest and dismounted. After tying up the horses, they sat on the ground to rest.
Xu Fengwu carried Dalibo and placed her on the ground before sitting down to rest.
Not long after, Chen Xing returned on his horse with a big bag of food in his hand. It turned out that not far from them, there was a small town called Xincang.
Everyone took the food and water and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
After eating a few white buns, Xu Fengwu heaved a sigh of relief. After asking Chen Xing, he said to Shi Qian,"There's a small town called Xincang nearby. How far is it from the Song-Liao border?”
"Brother, Xincang Town is to the east of Xianghe County. From here to Bazhou at the border of the Great Song, it's about 200 miles.”
Xu Fengwu nodded and said,"Everyone, let's have a good rest and let the horses eat and drink. Then, we'll go to Bazhou in one breath."”
"Good!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Xu Fengwu smiled and took a big gulp from the water bag. He turned to look at Dalibo and saw the little princess staring at her water bag.
Xu Fengwu saw that her originally rosy lips were a little dry. He smiled and brought the water bag to her mouth.
"Drink it. Although you are a woman, I don't mind.”
Dalibo was stunned for a moment, then he glared at Xu Fengwu and turned his head to the side, as if he was not going to take the food handed out.
"You're still throwing a tantrum at me at a time like this?”
Xu Fengwu didn't want to waste his breath on her. He grabbed her chin with his left hand and poured the water into her mouth with his right hand.
Dalibo was so drunk that he coughed violently. He glared at Xu Fengwu and shouted angrily,""You despicable Song people, don't even think about making me submit to you!”
"Why should I make you submit?" Xu Fengwu laughed. I'm just afraid that you'll die of thirst. You're a princess, after all. How can you die so aggrieved?”
Dalibo's eyes were as if she wanted to eat someone alive. After a while, she suddenly asked,"What do you plan to do with me?"
"What do you think?" Xu Fengwu asked.
"If you let me go, I promise I won't pursue everything that happened before, including the fact that you kidnapped me.”
Xu Fengwu smiled and said nothing.
"I didn't lie to you, I swear!" Dalibo hurriedly said.”
Xu Fengwu chuckled and said," Princess, let me tell you the truth. I have no intention of bringing you back to the Great Song. When we reach the border, I will naturally let you go."”
Hearing this, Dalibo was overjoyed and hurriedly asked,""Is what you said true?"
Xu Fengwu chuckled." Of course it's true. Do you want to be my wife?"”
"I'm the princess of the Liao Dynasty. How can you…" Dalibo spat.
At this point, Dalibo quickly shut his mouth and carefully looked at Xu Fengwu.
Xu Fengwu pretended not to hear her and fed her some water and food. Then, he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to rest. He had to hurry on his way later, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense with this girl.
About two hours later, the group rode on their horses again. Dalibo was still sitting in front of Xu Fengwu, but his expression was a little bashful.
Fortunately, the horses that everyone rode were all high-quality horses. After waiting for half a night, everyone arrived at Yongqing County, and the horses were all exhausted.
A few dozen miles further south of Yongqing County was Bazhou of the Great Song.
The group did not enter the city. They found a farmer's house outside the city.
By the second day, everyone had recovered their energy, and the horses had eaten and drunk their fill. Only Dalibo was listless.
Last night, Dalibo, Xu Fengwu, and the others had squeezed into the same room. Although they hadn't done anything to her, she had been on tenterhooks and hadn't slept much the entire night.
Dalibo had never suffered like this before. He could only complain in his heart. He only hoped that Xu Fengwu would keep his promise and let her go when they reached the border.
After the group set off, Xu Fengwu asked them to stop after traveling for about ten miles.
Xu Fengwu did not waste any time. He untied Dalibo and placed her on the ground before returning the mount to her.
" I'm a man of my word now. You can leave. I hope you won't go back on your word, or else…" Xu Fengwu smiled at Dalibo.
Dalibo moved her sore body, her delicate face filled with disbelief.
Then, Dalibo stretched out his hand and said to Xu Fengwu,""Give me back my Golden Sabre."
"Golden Sabre? What Golden Sabre?" Xu Fengwu said with a blank expression.
"Why are you acting dumb? You were the one who stole my golden saber. Return it to me quickly!”Dalibo glared at him.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Xu Fengwu laughed and took out a silver ingot. He threw it in front of Dalibo and said,"Take this ingot of silver and buy something to eat on the road. What are you looking at? Have you never seen so much money?”
"I'll go to the authorities," he said angrily."Who wants your stinking silver? Give me back my golden saber."”
"Haha, I didn't expect the princess of the Liao Dynasty to learn how to extort people. Let's hurry up and leave.”Xu Fengwu laughed loudly and ignored Dalibo. He rode his horse and headed south.
Shan Shiqi, Ruan Xiaoqi, and the others laughed and followed Xu Fengwu.
"You damned Song people, you will die a horrible death! I'm so angry!"
Dalibo stomped his feet as he watched Xu Fengwu and the others leave. He was so angry that his entire body trembled as he cursed.
After a while, Xu Fengwu and the others had disappeared. Dalibo finally gave up. He felt an unspeakable grievance in his heart as he led his horse and prepared to leave.
At this moment, she saw the silver ingot on the ground. She hesitated for a moment, then walked over and picked it up.
Dalibo looked to the south again, his eyes filled with hatred. He gripped the silver tightly in his hand, then rode his horse toward Yongqing County.
