Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 243: Practicing with Bandits

Hearing him say this, she looked up at him and thought, okay, this is not a bad idea.

However, she felt a little melancholy when she thought about how many people were now looking for treasures in ancient tombs. She only hoped that those nourishing bodies had not been destroyed.

……

The night was spent peacefully.

The next day, when Si He woke up, it was already noon, but the windows were closed tightly and the curtains were drawn tightly to block out the dazzling sunlight. Only a faint light could be seen through the gaps in the corners, and the room was very dark.

If Ning Ji hadn't opened the door and come in, she might have continued sleeping.

She sat up with her eyes hazy, thinking to herself that she had slept so soundly that she hadn't noticed him getting up and leaving.

"Awake?" He walked towards her and sat down beside the bed. Seeing that she was still a little unconscious, he couldn't help but smile, then reached out to tidy up her slightly messy hair.

She leaned towards him, rubbing her head against his neck, her face a little tired and lazy. She asked, "When did you go out?"

Because she had just woken up, her voice was hoarse.

He then pulled her into his lap and held her close, saying, "I've been out for quite a while. I bought some things and sold the carriage, leaving only one horse for transportation. But the sun is very strong today and it's very hot outside. We can leave the city in the evening."

"Okay." She closed her eyes and stayed awake in his arms.

"Sleep a little longer?" Ning Ji saw that she was really sleepy, so he didn't urge her to get up and eat.

She thought about it and decided that since there was no rush to leave the city and it was still early, she might as well get some sleep. "Then you sleep with me."

"Okay." Ning Ji carried her back to the bed, put her down gently, took off his coat and shoes, and lay down.

Si He smelled the familiar scent and soon fell asleep again. Her breathing gradually became so weak that it was inaudible.

Looking at her porcelain-white face and her innocent sleeping expression, he curled his lips and gently kissed her forehead before closing his eyes and sleeping with her for a while.

The room was dimly lit and quiet, and the two of them slept until the afternoon.

After getting enough sleep, Si He felt much more energetic and it was time to go out to find food.

After a simple wash, he went out with Ning Ji.

In the summer afternoon, the sun is scorching and the weather is extremely hot. Going out is like entering a furnace, making people sweat profusely.

So, the two of them didn't go far and just went to the restaurant across the street to have dinner.

When she went out, she still wore a veil hat, and Ning Ji also held an umbrella for her.

This made many people look at him sideways because he was too different.

Even the few people who were secretly following him were a little surprised, with strange expressions on their faces, thinking that he was being pretentious.

At this moment, there were not many customers in the restaurant. There were many empty tables in the lobby on the first floor, and there were also many private rooms upstairs. Si He originally thought that it was a problem with the restaurant, but when she went upstairs, she heard some diners talking around her and realized that many people had left the city today and were heading for the treasure in the ancient tomb in the Black Forest.

During the meal, Si He asked Ning Ji about this. He said that when he went out in the morning, he did see many people leaving the city together, and they were indeed going to the Black Forest to look for treasure.

Upon hearing this, Si He had to say that money can move people's hearts. The news of a treasure in an ancient tomb has attracted so many people to take the risk and go there.

After lunch, Si He and Ning Ji returned to the inn to rest. When it was almost evening, the sun was about to set, and the city gates were about to close, the two of them picked up their bags and rode out of the city.

At this moment, Si He was still wearing a veil hat and riding a horse with Ning Ji, but because there were many people on the streets in the city, they could only move slowly.

Seeing this, the people who were secretly following them couldn't help but curse them for being cunning. They chose this time to leave the city, which caught people off guard. Helplessly, they could only hurriedly pull their horses and follow them out of the city from a distance, hoping to make a big profit.

At this moment, the sun is setting, and more people are entering the city, but very few are leaving the city. After all, it is getting late, and the bandit problem outside the city is quite serious, and it is even more dangerous at night. Most people would not choose to leave the city at this time unless they have something important to do.

Leaving the city was smooth. The officials hardly checked and let us pass quickly.

However, since they were leaving the city at this hour, it was a bit eye-catching, and many people looked at the two people on horseback curiously.

After leaving the city gate, Ning Ji whipped his horse, increased the speed, and headed towards the Black Forest.

The figures of the two men quickly disappeared on the official road. At this time, five people in the city rode their horses quickly, chasing in the direction where the two men had just left, with great momentum.

When the people at the city gate saw what was happening, many of them guessed what was going on and their expressions changed.

After a while, these horseback riders also disappeared in the secret passage.

After leaving the city, the five people who were chasing them suddenly had no scruples and no longer concealed their tracks. They were like excited leopards at this time, chasing very urgently, fearing that the prey would run away or be gotten there first by others.

In the small woods outside the city, after getting away from the city, Ning Ji chose a spacious place and stopped.

At this time, the sun had already set, leaving only the sunset glow in the sky, and it was getting dark.

As soon as Si He took off her veil, those people came after her.

"He He, I'll leave one for you to practice with later."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leading man who was chasing them immediately pulled the reins, drew his sword, dismounted, and walked towards the two men with murderous intent, followed closely by several others.

Although they were also wondering why the two men were waiting here, after glancing around and finding no ambush, they immediately took action without a word!

Ning Ji didn't say much. He also drew his sword, jumped up, and attacked the leader.

The two fought fiercely, and the people behind were a little stunned. They didn't expect him to be so skilled.

Ning Ji attacked fiercely and showed no mercy. The leading gangster raised his knife to block, but the next moment, the sword turned and slashed across the man's neck with lightning speed, causing blood to spurt out immediately.

The besiegers were shocked. In the blink of an eye, the boss fell to the ground seriously injured!

Immediately afterwards, Ning Ji attacked them with great momentum, each move was deadly, and his speed was very fast, making it impossible for them to get close to him. In just a short while, two of them fell down one after another.

Seeing the critical situation, the remaining two people did not care about anything else and quickly turned around to run away. However, Ning Ji did not kill them this time. He disarmed one of them and kicked him towards Si He, and then captured the fleeing man.

Si He watched the man being kicked by Ning Ji, and she immediately jumped off her horse and used him as a training ground.

She practiced with Ning Ji for so long a few days ago, and now she has to see the results. Although her skills may still be mediocre compared to these desperate criminals, she will improve if she practices more.

Besides, her fighting skills may not be that good, but she can still escape and retreat, and Ning Ji is watching her from the side.
