Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1512 Disguise
This was what Li Zhao taught him back then.

Back then when he was hunting in the cloud forest, he was accidentally injured. The wound was on the root of his thigh. Now that he was aware of gender differences, he stood in front of him with a wooden sword and refused to let Li Zhao check the wound for him.

At that time, Li Zhao directly reached out and broke his wooden sword, and gave him such a sentence.

He blushed and wanted to struggle, so Li Zhao told him the story on the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

Only then did he know that Li Zhao had served as a soldier on the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

In such a place full of men, how inconvenient it is for women, even he could think of it when he was young.

But Li Zhao casually talked to him about how she and her friends climbed the ice and lay in the snow in the north without distinguishing each other.

When you are about to freeze to death, when you are injured, and in the cruel natural environment, incompatibility between men and women is probably the most useless thing.

At that time, everyone tried their best to survive, and no one cared whether the patients were men or women.

"By the way, the men I've seen have hundreds if not thousands of bodies. You are still young, so don't worry about it."

Li Zhao's words almost shocked him when he was young.

"In the eyes of doctors, everyone is just the same flesh and blood."

Li Ji sighed, so in her eyes, he was probably no different from other men even if he was naked.

"Li Ji?"

Ying Baoyue's voice brought back Li Ji's thoughts, and he looked at Ying Baoyue.

The cold wind came and went, and even the grass under the two of them was gradually covered with a layer of frost.

Although he still has the strength to think wildly, both of them have been cornered.

"Since you want to live, let's make an appointment tonight."

Ying Baoyue stared at the black eyes of the person in front of her, and had a premonition in her heart.

"I also wanted to tell you just now," she smiled, "If you want to make an agreement, you should talk about it first."

Li Ji looked deeply into her eyes.

"Just tonight, let's forget about all the identities and etiquette."

Just as two people who want to live and help each other.

Li Ji stared fixedly at Ying Baoyue's face.

He is a man, so he should speak first.

Although people are going to die, there is nothing to be scruples about, but he is the one who speaks this sentence first.

In case she regrets it, he will be the one who offends her, persecutes her, and takes advantage of others' danger.

It has nothing to do with her.

Ying Baoyue slightly lowered her eyelashes and nodded, "Yes."

Li Ji's heart relaxed for a moment, but froze suddenly in the next moment.

Ying Baoyue pulled his sleeve, pulled his body towards her, and pressed his face against his chest.

"You don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself," she said calmly, "You just want to save me, why are you so nervous?"

She is the one who has a marriage contract, she is the one who insists on keeping him, and she is the one who is willing to bear it if someone scolds him for being shameless in the future.

No, Li Ji was stiff all over, and he tried his best to calm down his heartbeat.

She didn't know that he was selfish.

Ying Baoyue looked at him with pure and clear eyes. In her clean eyes, Li Ji felt more and more ashamed.

She has never been emotional with anyone, she just wants to live.

She had no plans for him, but he couldn't say that he didn't have any.

Even if he has pressed these thoughts to the bottom of his heart countless times.

"I..." Li Ji was silent for a moment, he really didn't know how to explain, he took a breath, "Do you want to lie down?"

"No need," Ying Baoyue moved his head to his shoulder, "I'm not tired, it's almost dawn, just sit like this."

Even if the physique of a practitioner of the heaven rank is strong, lying on the frozen ground for a night without moving his true essence, half of him should be useless, not to mention that Li Ji's meridians still have problems.

"But..." Li Ji wanted to say something, Ying Baoyue leaned on his shoulder and slowed down his breathing.

He was slightly taken aback and lowered his voice.

"you are tired?"

"Well," Ying Baoyue said in a low voice, his vision was a little blurry.

Li Ji wrapped her outer robe tightly, her chest rose and fell slightly.

He has been to the north with Zhao Guang many times, and he knows that it is very dangerous to fall asleep in a cold place.

When a person is asleep, the body's sensitivity to cold is reduced. As a result, it is likely that the sudden drop in temperature will not be felt, and there is a possibility of freezing or even freezing to death.

He heard from Zhao Guang that many people who climbed the snow mountain just fell asleep on the snow mountain and never woke up again.

"Embracing the moon?"

Li Ji moved his shoulders and called softly, "Hold the moon?"

"I'm awake," Ying Baoyue said in a low voice. She knew that she couldn't sleep in a cold place, but her health was too bad in her life. Not only her hands and feet were cold, but she even had the hidden injuries she suffered in Soochow before. signs of recovery.

At this moment, she only felt that her eyelids were heavy, and she never wanted to open them again.

"Baoyue, wake up, you can't sleep."

Li Ji breathed on her hand while rubbing her hands and feet.

In the grass, clouds of white air rose upwards.

"Ok, I know."

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes slightly, "It's okay, even if I fell asleep, I'm still half awake."

The instincts she developed from a young age kept her from sleeping to death.

This was probably the last straw for her survival.

After walking together for so long, Li Ji also knew that Ying Baoyue had such a habit.But at this moment in the ice and snow, he really didn't dare to bet on her instinct.

Gradually, he couldn't rub her hands and feet anymore, so he could only talk to her constantly.

"Embracing the moon?"

"I'm here."

"Embracing the moon?"

"You...what's the matter?"

Ying Baoyue leaned on his shoulder, and was even more sleepy after being asked the same question over and over again.

Sensing the impatience in her voice, Li Ji looked left and right, desperately trying to find something to say.

"Where are you going after the high-level ceremony is over?"

"Me?" Ying Baoyue replied in a daze, "Maybe I'm going back to the former Qin Dynasty. I heard that Brother Wang's queen is about to give birth..."

Ying Hanri will have an heir?
Li Ji was taken aback for a moment, feeling that the political situation in the former Qin Dynasty might also undergo major changes.

After saying this, Ying Baoyue closed his eyes again, and Li Ji quickly spoke again.

"Embracing the moon?"

"Ok?"

"You," listening to her unconscious tone, Li Ji took a deep breath, "You...why did you stop me before?"

If she was discovered by those heavenly killers, she would be useless in reality, but she would just save her life.

He didn't understand why she had to wake him up when he was at the bottom of the lake.

Li Ji was already ready to die when he saw the eight heavenly ranks coming to surround and kill him.

There are not eight people in this world who want to kill but can't kill them, unless there is a son of God who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect him.

But the only God Son in this world who can risk his life to protect him is his adoptive father, but Dongfang Yi has already retired, and he is not an opponent of the eight heavenly ranks.

This time, he probably couldn't escape.

He left Ying Baoyue before and wanted to leave alone, not for escape, but just because he didn't want to cause trouble to others because of his death.

"I just……"

Ying Baoyue spoke in a daze.

Li Ji's heart tightened, "Just what?"

"I didn't think about it that much," Ying Baoyue said, half asleep and half awake, "I just... don't want to watch you die alone."

"do you know?"

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes slightly, looking at the grass under the moonlight in a daze, her voice was as soft as a whisper.

"It's very painful to die alone."

"Really?" Li Ji stared blankly at the front, not knowing what kind of feeling he was feeling.

He put her head on his shoulder, and opened his mouth slightly in a voice she couldn't hear.

I am sorry.

Sorry for letting you die alone.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything," Li Ji touched Ying Baoyue's forehead and found that it had become hot.

His heart clenched into a ball, looking at the still dim clouds in the distance, he had never been so eager for the dawn to come soon.

"Can I get some sleep?"

"Go to sleep," Li Ji took a deep breath. It was past midnight, and the temperature was gradually rising when it passed the lowest point.

"Then you can sleep too."

Ying Baoyue leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Li Ji didn't close her eyes, but straightened her body so that she wouldn't feel the slightest shake.

He just sat motionless on the frozen ground all night.
