The beauty is endless
Chapter 46
Chapter 46
The omnipotent Murong Jiu once again used an unknown method to persuade the upright Wei Ji to cooperate with him in acting.Therefore, what Feng Yuan saw after he came to Tianhe City was no different from the rumors. Every time the wronged "Murong Seven" saw him, he always looked hesitant to speak, which made him even more nervous. restless.
He wanted to meet her, but he couldn't find a chance. In his anxiety, he waited for Ban Weizhi to come.
Not two days later, Xi Yingdi Ji, who sneaked out of the capital because of missing her sweetheart, "accidentally" ran into Feng Yuan and the Twelve Princesses of unknown origin together on a dark and stormy night of the month. Telling others things that have never been said to her, how can Ban Weizhi, who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, can bear it, and immediately fights, but the twelve princesses changed from the previous sturdy style in the King Khan's racecourse, blindly dodging Showing weakness, but she refuses to be idle with her mouth, doing her best to insinuate, sneer, and sarcastic, her eyes are blackened with anger, but Feng Yuan beside her not only does not help her vent her anger, but also defends that woman everywhere.Ban Weizhi was so angry that he couldn't help but press the hidden compartment in the iron fan. The sharp blade on the fan bone was soaked in poison. During the fight, the poisoned sharp blade cut through the wrist of the twelve princesses.
The insect poison from the Western Regions was extremely overbearing. Even though the twelve princes tried their best to treat it, the princess still passed away before dawn.The twelve princes were frightened, angry and heartbroken. They decided that Feng Yuan was the culprit, and led Tie Yingwei to detain him forcibly. On the same day, they sent an urgent message back to the capital, asking King Khan to make the decision.
At the same time, news was sent back from the capital that the case of the missing envoy of Dayou had finally made new progress. Someone anonymously provided evidence that the man in black who chased and killed Wei Nange that night came from the Royal Ranch. A Yonghe army has just entered the pass and is temporarily stationed there.
What's even more ominous is that when the Khan's palace envoy went to the Yonghe military camp to investigate, he found that the leader of the army, Fengjianhua, had been away for many days, and his deputy Mei Wangting was evasive about her whereabouts, which made people suspicious.
Murong Qi saw Feng Jianhua buried in the sea of flames with his own eyes. I don't know if this news has reached Feng Yuan at this time. Even if he doesn't know it yet, the current situation is already very unfavorable to him.
Now, he even lost Ban Weizhi's trust.
"With such repeated blows, even Feng Yuan might not be able to hold his breath anymore." Murong Jiu conjured up a paper fan out of nowhere, and tapped his palm time after time.
"He... Feng Yuan really thought I was dead?"
"Of course he's not that easy to deceive, but it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, anyway, he can't explain it to Ban Weizhi, unless he doesn't want to be married." Murong Jiu chuckled, "I also just took the opportunity to escape, By the way, let the twelve little princes go free, that kid is not bad, and he will have a chance to meet a good girl in the future."
Murong Qi remained silent, these plots are intertwined, although it is very easy for Xiao Jiu to say, but the timing, measure, and even everyone's reaction need to be calculated accurately, she can't do it by herself.
"What, your heart hurts?" Murong Jiu tapped her forehead with the fan handle.
She shook her head, "This is the path he chose. Whether it is good or bad, he must bear it alone. Even if a step is good, it still needs to be fulfilled by God's will. Other people's emotions are useless."
Whether he walked together all the way, or lived and died together, but after all, he is not the one she can devote her whole life to, this is God's will.
"That's right, you should feel sorry for the one you should love right now." Murong Jiu smiled in satisfaction, stretched out his foot and kicked her, "Okay, the story is over, you should go down."
"What do you mean?" Murong Qi noticed that the carriage had stopped at some point.
"Aren't you going to Tianhe City? The two of us will not accompany you." Murong Jiu conjured up a crimson face scarf decorated with pearls and jade out of nowhere, put it on, raised his eyes and said with a smile, "My lord personally escorted Mr. Wei back home." In Chiyue City, King Khan should show some face."
Wei Nange, who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the carriage as an audience, was finally startled when he saw his appearance at this moment: "Young Master Fei Yi! Young Master Jiu, you are actually..."
Murong Qi couldn't hear the rest of the conversation, because at this moment, Murong Jiu opened the car door, pushed her out with great force, and said with a beating smile, "Hurry up, someone is coming to pick you up. "
Surprised by this guy's sneak attack, this made Murong Qi very upset. She turned over in mid-air, and was about to catch up with him to repair it, but suddenly saw a person in the post booth a few steps away. He folded his arms and looked up at her without saying a word.
She changed her mind immediately, her breath sank, and she lightly landed in front of him, smiling like a flower.
"Ah Che, so you came to pick me up!"
Looking at the carriage going away, Ji Che said, "What the hell are you two doing?"
Murong Qi was upset: "When it comes to playing tricks, how can I compare to Murong Jiu!"
As if to confirm her words, around the carriage running alone on the road, suddenly there were eight snow-white horses, and eight young girl knights in white clothes, very coquettish and [-]% ostentatious.
After all, Ji Che couldn't help smiling, and pulled out two horses from the post booth: "Let's go."
The Shuobei grassland in the early winter afternoon is desolate but vast, with undulating mountains in the distance, snow-capped peaks meeting the sky, and the rare sunlight passing through the gray cumulus clouds, shedding beams of golden light.Murong Qi kept turning her head to look at the man half a horse behind her, the corners of her lips could not help but slightly raised.
Ji Che felt uncomfortable being watched by her, and frowned, "What are you looking at?"
Murong Qi raised his horsewhip and pointed to a big tree in the distance, and said loudly: "Ah Che, let's compete to see who will arrive first. If you win, I will tell you."
After saying that, he shook the rein in his hand and galloped away first.Ji Che was stunned for a moment, then gave a light scold, and rode his horse in hot pursuit.
When he was about to catch up, Murong Qi suddenly let go of the reins, his toes came off the stirrups, and he jumped up from the horse's back and rushed towards Ji Che.
Ji Che hastily took control of the rein with one hand, and tied her up in the air with the other, placing her firmly in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't get carried away."
Murong Qi raised his head from his embrace, smiling brightly: "With you here, I'm still proud!"
Ji Che lowered his head to meet her gaze, that gaze was so clear that he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, he tightened his palms around her waist, and said softly, "Sit tight!" The two of them joined forces, like arrows flying against the wind. gallop.
The cold wind blows fiercely on the face, and the body behind her is warm and strong. At this moment, it is so satisfying. It turns out that what I wish in this life is nothing more than this.
Ji Che didn't stop until the big tree he just pointed out, let go of the rein, and let the horse roam freely.Murong Qi leaned lazily in his arms, looked at the mountains and the vast grasslands, and sighed: "Actually, this place is quite nice..."
"Qiqi." Ji Che interrupted her suddenly, "What are your plans when you arrive in Tianhe City?"
"Plan?" Murong Qi was stunned, he was busy running for his life all the way, and he hadn't thought about this question, so he asked, "What about you?"
"I need to go back to the head of the Hongshui Gang." Ji Che's voice became cold, "the gang has urgent matters to deal with."
Murong Qi's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly remembered what Feng Jianhua said in the ruins of the ancient city, did he know about Xiao Ci's life experience?
She asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"After I pretended to fall off the cliff that day, Feng Yuan instructed Feng Jianhua to pass the news of my death back to the Hongshui Gang. I was injured at that time, and Longmian Lake was too remote to contact the gang in time. Cheng Cheng had the opportunity to pass on the letter to Xiao Guo, according to Xiao Guo, now the big and small affairs of the gang have been replaced by others, if I don't go back, I'm afraid something will change."
Murong Qi couldn't help frowning and said: "Your words have no basis, your subordinates believe that you are dead so easily?"
"What if it's Xiaoci who said that?"
Murong Qi was stunned for a moment, he really knew!
Ji Ci is the nominal daughter of the old gang leader, Ji Che's younger sister. She has helped with the gang's affairs for many years, and she is as familiar with the entire Hongshui gang as Ji Che. Everyone even tacitly agrees that she is the future wife of the gang leader. ... If she said that Ji Che was dead, it would be a matter of course for her to take over the Hongshui Gang. Not only would no one doubt it, she would even get the support of the elders.
She turned her head and looked at him worriedly, but his expression was the same as before, whether he was sad or lost.
But she thought, for so many years, he loved Xiaoci wholeheartedly like his own sister, and never kept any secrets, but in the end, he couldn't live up to Fengyuan's orders, and even lost the foundation of the Hongshui Gang for many years, what was going on in his heart? Can you not be sad?If it was her, she would have been so entangled that she couldn't eat or sleep.
She stretched out her hand, put it on the back of his hand holding the rein, and said, "I'll go back with you!"
"Okay." He flipped his wrist, held her hand instead, and replied solemnly.
The two of them didn't stop all the way, and soon they saw the tall city walls of Tianhe City.
As the largest border town in Baishuo, Tianhe City has a very special terrain. The whole city is built on the mountain, and the side facing Dayou Zixia Pass is an extremely steep cliff, and horses can hardly walk on it.But the side facing Baishuo is low hills and valleys, surrounded by big rivers outside the city, named Tianshi, after the name of the middle and lower walls of the three walls of stars.
Seeing the sparkling water of the Tianshi River close in front of him, Murong Qi was about to urge his horse forward, but Ji Che suddenly tightened the reins and abruptly stopped the horse, which was not running fast.
"Ache?"
"No." He frowned and murmured, "It's still early in the day, but the suspension bridge has not been lowered, and there may be changes in the city."
Murong Qi followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw that the city gate on the other side of the river was closed tightly, and the huge suspension bridge at the gate was also firmly tied by iron locks, and there was no other road to pass through.
"What the hell is Wei Ji doing?" She muttered, looking over the city wall.When I saw this, I was shocked, and saw that the battlements were densely packed with archers who were ready to go, and behind the archers, the Baishuo City flag, which should have been an eagle chasing a wolf, had been replaced by one. Faced with a black and black flag, the cold wind blows, she can see clearly, the beast on the flag has red eyes, red beak, and yellow body——
Yonghe!
Her heart sank.
Ji Che also saw the flag of the Yonghe Army on the city wall. He calmly steered the horse back, and only took two steps back. Suddenly, a feathered arrow shot out from the city wall and stabbed deeply at the horse's leg. The black horse was frightened. Neighing and standing up, Ji Che hastily drew back the reins to stabilize the horse, his eyes fell on the city wall, where a large iron-bodied bow was slowly being retracted, revealing a familiar, unparalleled handsome face.
Now, he has taken off his gorgeous robe, his eyes are no longer affectionate, and his smile is no longer gentle. Under the black armor, his face has a strange chill, looking down at the two people on horseback. .
Ji Che also looked at him. Although his voice was not loud, he could hear every word clearly.
"It seems that Palace Master Feng has decided to break with King Khan?"
While talking, he stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow, turned his fingers lightly, and just as he finished speaking, the arrow in his hand was shot, like a flash of lightning, straight towards Fengyuan above the city wall.
With such a long distance, Feng Yuan could naturally avoid it, but he had to interrupt what he was going to say, and he was a little embarrassed in the end.He caught the arrow with one hand, his luck was broken, and his voice was as soft as before, but with a bit of coldness: "Master Ji Shao is going to return to the city, since he is here, why bother to leave?"
Ji Che said coldly: "This city is not that city, so it's useless to stay longer. I'm afraid Palace Master Feng is too busy to take care of himself at this time, so we won't bother you."
"Us?" Feng Yuan glanced at Murong Qi in his arms, narrowed his almond eyes and said, "I don't know what Master Ji Shao wants to do by kidnapping my wife?"
Murong Qi, who had been trying to keep silent all this time, finally couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily: "Shen Qianchi, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh? What's wrong with what I said?"
Murong Qi gritted his teeth angrily, decided not to entangle him with this matter, and asked loudly: "Where is Wei Ji? Where is he?"
Feng Yuan smiled faintly: "What does the whereabouts of the defeated generals have to do with me?"
"You..." She looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally said, "...you are crazy."
He took a deep look at her from the city, but didn't answer any more, he just said to Ji Che, "Presumably Ji Shao's gang leader has already known that your gang has changed hands now, Ji Ci—or she should be called Shang." Feixu—has taken over the helm of the Hongshui Gang." After a pause, he continued, "As the widow of the young gang leader."
The hand around his waist tightened, Murong Qi knew that he was afraid that she would think too much about it, so he stretched out his hand and stroked the back of his hand lightly to indicate that it was okay, but he immediately held it back firmly.
She heard him say in a calm voice, "So what?"
The subtle movements did not escape Feng Yuan's eyes, and a trace of rage flashed in his almond eyes, he said coldly: "No, I just kindly remind you that if you meddle in your own business here, it is better to hurry back."
Ji Che said: "I also want to remind you that Wei Nange is heading towards Chiyue City right now, and you are the one who should rush back earlier."
Regarding this matter, Feng Yuan obviously didn't want to say more. He drew the iron bow again, put three feathered arrows on the string, and said loudly: "As long as Master Ji puts my wife down, I can let you retreat completely, otherwise , even if your miraculous skill is world-class, I am afraid it is not as good as the thousand arrows fired from this city."
Ji Che's face was indifferent when he heard the words, he didn't even look up, but lowered his head and asked, "Qiqi, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Murong Qi shook his head, and smiled lightly: "Even if I accidentally die, I will be with you anyway."
The conversation as if there was no one else around, maybe other people can't hear clearly, but with Feng Yuan's ear strength, he can hear it very clearly.In his eyes, her smile was nothing more than a sharp sword, piercing the eyes and piercing the heart.He couldn't help closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and when he let go of his fingers, three arrows whizzed away.
These three arrows were like a silent order, and thousands of arrows were fired at the city wall, and the sky was full of arrows, covering the two of them in an instant.
Just as Feng Yuan let go, Ji Che had turned his horse's head and galloped away, but in a blink of an eye, the feathered arrows roared behind him, he flew up with one arm around Murong Qi, and the other hand held the thunder cone, pouring his inner energy into the tip of the spear , knocked away the three arrows that Feng Yuan had fired first, and when they landed, the dagger in Murong Qi's hand cut a circle of cold light, and the arrows close to him were chopped off by the sharp blade one after another.The two cooperated with each other and retreated a few feet. When the second wave of arrow rain fell, a group of heavily armed cavalry suddenly rushed out of the valley not far behind. The knights and tall horses were wrapped in thick iron armor. , The speed was fast and orderly, forming an encirclement trend. Immediately, the iron shield in the knight's hand closed, like a copper wall and an iron wall, enclosing the two of them into the horse formation.
Yujian was already exhausted so far, and in this way, they didn't even touch the corners of their clothes.
Murong Qi was slightly startled, looked around, saw the horse's hooves trampling, and Ji Che was scattered to nowhere.
Just at this time, a black horse in silver armor galloped straight towards her. The knight on the horse bent over and stretched his arms, picked her up, and put her in front of him. His movements were clean and neat, obviously his equestrian skills were superb.
Murong Qi's heart moved, he hurriedly turned his head, and he saw a pair of green eyes behind the visor, he said happily, "Wei Ji!"
The person on the horse was Wei Ji, and his silver armor was particularly eye-catching among the gray iron armor.Murong Qi looked over from him immediately, and saw that in such a short time, many teams of cavalry emerged from the valleys in all directions, although there were many in number, they were not chaotic at all, and they quickly formed an formation by the Tianshi River, obviously there was something wrong come prepared.
How does this formation look like a defeated army?Murong Qi suddenly understood, and said in a low voice: "Did you let Feng Yuan occupy Tianhe City on purpose?"
Tianhe City changed hands easily after only one day of Ji Che's departure. This is really not like the strength of Wei Ji, who is known as "Greedy Wolf".
Wei Ji said in a deep voice: "I just took the order of my father to let him return to the capital as soon as possible to test it out. Who would have thought that he would join forces with the Yonghe army who entered the pass to attack at night. Don't blame me for being so impatient. You're welcome."
How Wei Ji probed, and how Feng Yuan attacked at night, Murong Qi didn't know, but obviously, Feng Yuan, who was besieged on all sides, faced the inauspicious king's capital, whether he would endure or break, he bet on the latter.
With the strength of the Yonghe army, it is absolutely impossible to fight against Bai Shuo's army. She knows him well, and even if she has to resort to dangerous tactics, she will never do the stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg. The most likely thing is that Feng Yuan wants to use this battle to win Tianhe City was used as a bargaining chip, and perhaps together with the treasures of the Juze Digong and Ban Weilian's favorite Xiyingdiji, they came to negotiate terms with King Khan.
However, Wei Ji's feigned defeat and the current approach of the soldiers forced the two armies to form a confrontation.It is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Wei Ji looked at Murong Qi's thoughtful expression, and said dissatisfied: "He deserves to be blamed, it's not worth worrying about."
"I just feel that he's acting too hastily." Murong Qi shook his head and said.
Wei Ji snorted coldly: "It has nothing to do with me that he wants to restore the country. As long as the father supports it, I don't bother to care about it. But he shouldn't lie to Xiaozhi. What I hate the most is the guy who takes advantage of women."
That's right, although he is young, he is still an elder brother, he has someone he wants to protect, and he doesn't want her to be wronged, just like Murong Jiu.
When she was in a trance, she heard Wei Ji say again: "It's very dangerous here, you should avoid it first, I'll talk about it when I come back."
After speaking, he supported her waist with one hand, and after giving it away, her body was already in the air, and was picked up by another person in a blink of an eye.
Two horses passed by, Murong Qi hurriedly said: "Hey, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the young general Yinjia rushed to the front of the team like a gust of wind.
"On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, so let's talk about what we have to say."
A familiar voice came from behind, she touched her nose and said, "I just told him to be careful."
"Although your second husband is young, he has already been on the battlefield for a long time. You don't need to remind him, so he will naturally be careful."
She burst out laughing: "Ache, are you jealous?"
The palm around her waist tightened slightly, and she heard him say: "This time the marriage is your own decision again, I'm afraid you have already forgotten what I said when I was in Quxia."
"This is an expedient measure, otherwise—" She glanced at him sideways, and smiled without any regrets, "I promise there will be no next time, okay? But... I have already promised you, there will be no next time How can it be good?"
"...Murong Qi, how dare you!"
"Don't dare dare!" She smiled maliciously, "Ah Che, you are blushing, did I hit you?"
"..."
……
While speaking, Ji Che had already led her away from Tianhe City, within a stone's throw of Tianhe City, and entered the valley where the cavalry appeared before.Murong Qi was surprised to find that these not tall rocky mountains were full of caves and corridors. The cave entrances were originally blocked by bushes and boulders, but now the obstructions have been pushed away, revealing dark and deep cave entrances.Presumably, after Wei Ji pretended to be defeated and left Tianhe City, he led his troops into these secret passages, so that he could come back without anyone noticing.
This should be the secret fortification that Bai Shuo dug to protect Tianhe City. Feng Yuan obviously didn't know about it, but Ji Che didn't seem surprised. Recalling his performance just now, Murong Qi suddenly said: "Ah Che, you Did you already know that Wei Ji was nearby?"
That's why he intentionally provoked Feng Yuan and distracted him so that Wei Ji could take the opportunity to attack!
"Before leaving Tianhe City, Xiao Jiu and I discussed with General Wei Xiao, if there is any change in Tianhe City, we will use the black eagle raised in his army as a secret."
Ji Che raised his head, and in the clear blue sky, several big black eagles were circling low and low. This common sight in the Mobei grassland has now become a secret signal of a deep mystery.
It turned out that all of Feng Yuan's possibilities had been considered.It turned out that this was God's will.
She wanted to look back at the lonely city standing tall, but finally held back.Only Yu sighed curlingly, scattered in the cold and lonely wilderness, soundlessly.
The battle under the city did not start, of course Feng Yuan would not really lose his mind, when he saw Wei Ji's returning cavalry, he already knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he chose to retreat and negotiate.
"He wants to take two thousand Yonghe troops in the city and retreat to Zixia Pass in three days." In the main camp, Wei Ji looked at the map on the table and said thoughtfully, "He will keep Xiaozhi on condition that I retreat thirty li."
After a moment of silence, Murong Qi said: "Have you promised him?"
"Not yet." Wei Ji shook his head and said, "I also need some time to make a decision. On the day the Yonghe army attacked Tianhe City, the fastest horse had already sent a secret letter to the king, and the king's capital replied to arrive here. There are two days."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked out with his hands behind his back: "Xiao Zhi is still in his hands, I can't act rashly. It's up to my father to decide how to choose."
However, no matter whether Feng Yuan and Wei Ji, or between Feng Yuan and Ban Weilian are enemies or friends in the end, it has nothing to do with Murong Qi and Ji Che. To be honest, the relationship between them and him During the period, some of them were just some personal grievances, never involving national hatred and family hatred.
It's just that Tianhe City is the only place to go out of the customs. The continuous mountains and mountains on the border are difficult to climb. If you want to change to another border city to pass the customs, you will have to walk for at least ten days.Therefore, the two decided to stay temporarily and decide where to go depending on the situation two days later.
At midnight of the next day, Murong Qi was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up by a noise, and walked out of the barracks in cloaked clothes, only to see bright lights in front of him, figures constantly coming and going, and the muffled sound of military drums coming from a distance, followed by a loud bang.Her heart tightened, she turned her head and went to Ji Che's residence.
After walking a few steps, he saw Ji Che's tall figure walking towards her through the soldiers coming and going. Before she could speak, he said, "One hour ago, King Khan's secret letter arrived."
"how?"
His voice was extremely low amidst the chaotic footsteps: "Destroy the Yonghe army, kill without mercy."
Murong Qi understood that Wei Ji must have executed the secret order as soon as he got it.
"He's preparing for a surprise attack, but it's a pity that the Movie Emperor Ji is still in Feng Yuan's hands. The longer the time, the worse it will be." Ji Che frowned, "I haven't received Xiao Jiu's letter from Qingyao yet, but counting the time, Wei Nange should have just arrived in Chi Moon City—"
"So, Ban Weilian didn't make this decision because he negotiated the conditions with Wei Nange, but because he had long wanted to get rid of Feng Yuan." Murong Qi sighed softly, "He still made a choice, even disregarding his own daughter's wishes. safety."
"Ban Weilian is cruel and perverse, but Feng Yuan wants to take advantage of his favorite daughter. How can he be willing to be controlled by this? His own flesh and blood are not more important than Jiangshan."
He paused for a moment, then said again: "It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay."
Murong Qi was stunned for a moment, before he could speak, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, Wei Ji in silver armor came striding forward, his blue eyes were cold and his face was livid.
"He used Xiao Zhi to threaten me." His voice was cold, but his eyes fell on Murong Qi, "Yan Ran, he wants to see you."
The tall city walls of Tianhe City showed a grim gray-white under the light of the stars and the moon. The lights below the city were brightly lit, but only a few old lanterns under the eaves were on on the towers. Looking from a distance, the two people under the lights seemed to be embedded in the dark blue night. Silhouetted, the man is tall and tall, with flying skirts, and the woman is petite and delicate, so weak that if it is not for the soldiers approaching the city, it is really like the person in the painting.
Murong Qi rode forward slowly, Wei Ji at the side hesitated again and again, and finally reached out to hold the rein, saying: "Yan Ran, don't force it."
Murong Qi turned to look at him: "Xiao Wei, tell me the truth, do you have other ideas?"
Wei Ji lowered his eyes and said, "There will always be some."
Of course there will be—as long as Xiao Zhi is forced to attack the city regardless of Xiaozhi’s safety, ten Fengyuan can also be taken—he understands the choice behind his father’s order.But the father could be ruthless, but he couldn't.Although Xiaozhi is pampered, she is the best person in the entire Chiyue Palace who treats him the best. She never cares about his humble background, so he tolerates her waywardness.He is her elder brother, how can he abandon her?
Murong Qi asked him to tell the truth, the truth is, in the current situation, he has no way to have both.
"You have no other way." Murong Qi knew very well in his heart, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So I still want to go, at least I have the ability to protect myself. As long as you get back to Xi Ying Di Ji smoothly, you will have no scruples. Xiao Wei, you I used to say that I am your family left by God, now, just treat it as my sister helping you, don't thank me too much."
As she said that, her eyes passed him and fell on the person not far behind him. He was watching her quietly, with a hint of tenderness in his usually stern eyes.From the beginning to the end, he didn't stop her, as he himself said, it was up to her to decide whether to go or stay.
She smiled at him, turned her head, scolded lightly, and rode away.
Ji Che watched silently as she wore a bright and sassy Hu suit, walked through the heavy military formations alone, the huge suspension bridge was slowly lowered, one person rode one by one, and gradually disappeared at the other end of the dark city gate.
Wei Ji's voice sounded beside her ear: "I thought you would stop her."
Ji Che smiled faintly: "Whatever she wants to do, just do it."
From childhood to adulthood, it is better to be.She is in charge of whatever she wants, and he is in charge of her—her safety, her mess, her joy, her distress, what's wrong with this?She can be as free as possible, regardless of the consequences.This is the greatest pampering he promised to give her.
Dada's hoofbeats sounded very clear in the middle of the night, with a hollow echo, step by step across the thick wooden boards of the suspension bridge, and across the huge bluestone under the city gate.A dim and flickering lantern lit up on the long street not far away. The two people who were standing on the city wall just now were waiting quietly under the lamp, like two statues.
She stopped her horse and said loudly: "I'm already here, you can let Xi Ying Di Ji leave."
Feng Yuan didn't speak, but hung the lantern in his hand on the window lattice of the small building next to him. In the dim light, she saw him reach out and pat Ban Weizhi's body a few times, unlocking the acupoints.
Ban Weizhi didn't come over immediately, she turned around and said something to the man behind her, the voice was as low as a whisper, Murong Qi couldn't hear clearly, but she heard Feng Yuan's answer, he said: " Never."
As soon as the words fell, Ban Weizhi raised his hand and slapped him hard, turned and left without looking back, walked straight to Murong Qi, and said coldly: "Come down, give me the horse."
The girl's face was full of tears, but her eyes seemed to be stained with the frost and snow of the Northland, she was fierce and cold.
Murong Qi suddenly remembered how she was when he first met her, although she was spoiled and willful, she was also bright and charming.But from now on, since she turned around, Ban Weizhi, who was so carefree, will never come back again.
Perhaps it will be a long time before she understands that Feng Yuan's unfeeling is the greatest tenderness towards her.
The sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared at the end of the long street, but he just looked at her, as if he had returned to the Tanhua Mansion in Beigong that day, with his affectionate and soft eyes, and the corners of his lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, calm and charming.
He slowly took down the lantern on the window sill, and said softly: "Yanran, have a drink with me."
He took her around the corner and knocked on the closed door of a wine shop.It's just that there was sudden chaos in the city, and the store has long since disappeared.He was not polite, with a swipe of his palm, the door panels were split apart, and he entered with a lamp. The familiar person took out a simple and simple pottery vase from behind the counter, and even put an ingot of gold on it.
"This is the best wine in the city, called 'Zhu Yan'." He took off the cap, and a burst of rich wine fragrance wafted out immediately.He took two glasses by himself, sat down by the window near the inner courtyard, filled up the wine, and then smiled at her: "Come and sit, have a taste."
The wine in the black pottery wine cup showed a faint rose red under the dim candlelight, Murong Qi gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, but he did not raise his glass for a long time.Feng Yuan chuckled lightly, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, and said: "Now that things have happened, are you still afraid that I will harm you?"
"That's not it."
Murong Qi shook his head, lightly took a sip of the wine in the glass, only felt the aroma was overwhelming, the taste was sweet, he couldn't help but drank it all in one gulp, sighed: "It really is a good wine."
"The boss here is from Jiangnan. He never went back after coming to Mobei in the early years. Because he missed his hometown so much, he made this wine with green plum and rose paste from Jiangnan. This is the taste of his hometown in his memory." Said while opening the wooden window at hand, and raised the lantern to the window, "Look, Yanran."
She looked along the light, and vaguely saw pavilions, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water outside the window, which were arranged into a small and exquisite Jiangnan garden.To be able to build such a landscape in the land of Mobei, the boss's homesickness is considered a big deal.
"I grew up in the inner palace of Juze, and then I went to Dayou. I never knew whether there are green plums and roses in the Jiangnan countryside. I thought I must go and see them in the future." He looked at the garden in the dark, Quietly said, "Now, I'm afraid there is no chance."
Murong Qi couldn't bear it, and said sternly: "You put Ban Weizhi back, Wei Ji has no scruples, I'm afraid he will attack the city soon. You are still drinking at this time, do you plan to lose without a fight? "
Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled: "How is it possible?" Before she could speak, he said again: "Do something, don't do something, I think it's worth it, that's the reason. Anyway, I won't see you again , there is probably no chance, I will not rest in peace when I die.”
The first half of this sentence is still serious, but the second half of the sentence becomes shameless.He rested his chin in one hand, rubbed the rim of the cup lightly with the other, and fixed his gaze on her with rolling eyes, gentle and sweet, true and false, elusive.She was stunned for a moment, and put her hand on her forehead: "People are always going to die, but now when the two armies are confronting each other, what you said is really capricious."
He laughed immediately, his almond eyes curved: "Then I will be self-willed for a while."
As he spoke, he filled the wine glass again, looked at the hazy landscape outside the window, and began to sing aloud.
She couldn't understand what he was singing, but felt that the tone of his voice was soft and melodious, which was very pleasant to hear, presumably it was a little song from Jiangnan.But she didn't understand that he finally replaced her with Ban Weizhi, but he just drank and chatted with her, neither talking about war nor love affairs.What exactly is the intention?How would he deal with the Baishuo cavalry who were staring at him outside the city?Was he going to take her hostage, or let her go?
However, maybe the wine is too mellow, or the music is too sweet, even though she has a lot to ask, she didn't say anything, just listened quietly, Zhu Yanzhi's wine glass fell into her throat, as if there were snowflakes falling to the ground outside the window , turned into streamer in an instant.
Gradually, he felt a little groggy, as if drunk, but by the time Murong Qi realized something was wrong, it was too late.
She rubbed her eyes, but there was an upside-down and chaotic scene in front of her eyes.At such a time, he actually gave her drugs. This person is really shameless, but she can't bear his situation. She thinks that she can trust him at last, she is really stupid.
But before she could say these words, she was overwhelmed by drowsiness, and before she fell asleep, she could only hear him sing: "The most unbearable thing in the world..."
Murong Qi had a dream.
In the dream, she returned to the wedding two years ago. She, Feng Guanxia, married into the Shizi's mansion, the red tape flashed by, and finally she was fixed in the new house illuminated by red candles.
She still remembered that day, the bridal house was deserted, no one came to congratulate her, and the groom was even missing. After sweeping away the cakes and wine on the table, she wrapped herself in a quilt and slept soundly.
In the dream, the pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles were still there, but the candle flame was in a trance. From that trance, she vaguely saw a slender figure standing in front of her. The man slowly raised the red hijab with a weighing ruler, and she seemed to He was tied up with ropes, unable to move or shout.
Feng Yuan's face appeared little by little from under the swaying tassels, with a graceful jaw, light lips, narrowed almond eyes, and an affectionate smile. He stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said, "Yan Ran, if I don't care about anything, Don't ask for anything, don't want anything, will you go with me?"
She could neither shake her head nor nod her head, she couldn't speak, she could only watch him leaning down towards her, the red candles in the room behind him turned into a fierce flame in an instant, and the flames swirled around like a giant beast in the wild, devouring it. Come.
Xifu burst into flames, but he didn't dodge or evade, bewitching her: "Come with me, Yan Ran, come with me."
The flames suddenly enveloped him, and his flawless appearance turned into horrific scars in an instant, just like when she first saw him.But he still didn't leave, just stretched out his hand to hug her, the fire on his body burned her body, skin and hair, scorching hot and stinging, but she could only watch him turn into ashes inch by inch in front of her in vain, the ashes However, the voice continued: "Yanran... come with me..."
She shuddered and screamed, and woke up suddenly.
However, the suffocating heat did not disappear because of the disappearance of the dream.
She sat up suddenly, only to find that the strange bedroom she was in was already surrounded by fire. Although there was no fire in the room for the time being, the hot air was full of burnt smell, and the bright red flames that sprang up outside the window seemed to be spitting out one after another. The giant snake with a bright red tongue could break through the window at any moment.
Is this the purpose of Feng Yuan?He tried every means to see her, just to kill her silently.
Recalling the scene in the dream, she only felt shuddering, he was such a ruthless and cruel person, those gentle whispers and emotional confessions, at this moment, all turned into destructive flames, and disappeared into nothingness.
The sound of the beams collapsing brought her back to her senses quickly, and she jumped up. The most important thing right now is to find a way to escape.But when she got off the ground, she realized that she had changed into an extremely gorgeous dress. The fine white silk satin was cold and slippery to the touch, but thick and warm. The skirt was embroidered with colorful silk threads, with clusters of flowers and birds among the flowers. The feathers are gorgeous and lifelike.The blue cloak is as deep as a lake, embellished with fine peacock feathers and precious stones, embroidered in the shape of phoenix feathers, wrapped around the shoulders.
——Hundred birds facing the phoenix, this is a dress that only women in the world are qualified to wear!
Did he do this because he thought that if she became a ghost, he would willingly follow him to dominate the world, or did he think that he would die in this battle so he wanted to die with her?She didn't have time to speculate about his treacherous thoughts, the clothes were pretty, and they must have been expensive, but at this moment she just felt cumbersome, not to mention the inconvenient movement, and those peacock feathers and skirts that dragged the floor could easily ignite her body.
She tore off the shawl and the gorgeous embroidery, rolled up her sleeves, found an embroidery stool from a corner, and threw it at the window.
As soon as the window was broken, the flames rushed in immediately, quickly burning the tables and chairs with overwhelming momentum, but it also opened up a passage.Murong Qi picked up the thin quilt on the bed, extinguished the few fires closest to him with all his strength, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed out.
But she didn't know where it was at all, she lost her way after walking a few steps without thinking, looking around, there were all tongues of flames, the sea of flames was thick, and there was no way out.Her eyes were blurred by the smoke, her throat was stinging, and every breath was filled with hot soot. She could smell the burnt smell of her hair being scorched by the flames, her heart beat violently like a drum, and unprecedented fear gradually came to her heart.She felt a little hopeless that she might really have to confess her life that she had raised for 20 years today.
Not reconciled!She is still so beautiful, she has not yet married and had children with the person she loves, she doesn't want to die!
If she was burnt beyond recognition, would Ah Che still recognize her?She just promised to marry him, but she broke her promise like this. Is he more angry or sad?In another ten or twenty years, will he forget her—no, no, no!If he dares to forget her, she will become a ghost, pestering him every day and night...
While thinking wildly, she waved her arms in vain to fend off sparks, until even despair became trance, her head seemed to be stuffed with ashes, and even her body was turned into ashes. Seeing the ashes-in-the-gray Feng Yuan in the dream, his smile was gentle and gloomy, and he said: "It's all turned into ashes, and we will never be separated again."
"Ache..." Help!But her voice could only be a hoarse whimper through her burning throat.
"Seven seven!"
It's over, she's really dying, and she's hallucinating.
"Qiqi! Qiqi answer me quickly!"
No, not right!This is not an auditory hallucination!
She raised her heavy eyelids with all her remaining strength, and saw a tall and familiar figure appearing in front of her like a god through the ever-collapsing roof beams and crumbling door openings.
It's so dazzling!She blinked, wanting to smile coquettishly at him, but the tears couldn't stop falling, drop by drop, before they fell to the ground, they were burned away by the heat.
He bent down and picked her up by the waist, and covered her head and face with the soaked robe, before he could say a word, he rushed into the flames again.
She was held tightly in his chest by him, and the flames were raging within his arms, but her whole world was settled and quiet in the familiar warmth of this side.She could hear his heavy breathing, violent heartbeat, and slight trembling—he was afraid, and she knew that this guy who was not afraid of death and always pretended to be cold, he was afraid because of her.
She was a little proud and wanted to laugh at him a few words, but she gathered the clothes on his chest tightly, and her tears became more turbulent—really, this is not an illusion, he is real!He found her who was lost in the sky full of flames, all of this is true!
At some point, the clamor of flames in her ears was replaced by chaotic footsteps, and the hot and stuffy breath became cold and comfortable. She heard him whispering her name, and his lips fell on her forehead and cheeks. I wanted to say that it would not be very good-looking to say that it would be half-cooked if we kissed each other soon, but after taking a few breaths of fresh air, she finally fainted out of disappointment.
Before she fainted, she did not forget to hold his hand firmly.
After waking up, she must tell him that the moment she saw him, she suddenly wasn't afraid of death at all.She has done it arbitrarily for so long, and he has indulged and guarded him for so long, she has long been inseparable from him, no matter whether it is life or death, no matter whether it is the past or the future.
The world is so unpredictable, the road is so tortuous, fortunately, she turned around, fortunately, he is still there.
(End of this chapter)
The omnipotent Murong Jiu once again used an unknown method to persuade the upright Wei Ji to cooperate with him in acting.Therefore, what Feng Yuan saw after he came to Tianhe City was no different from the rumors. Every time the wronged "Murong Seven" saw him, he always looked hesitant to speak, which made him even more nervous. restless.
He wanted to meet her, but he couldn't find a chance. In his anxiety, he waited for Ban Weizhi to come.
Not two days later, Xi Yingdi Ji, who sneaked out of the capital because of missing her sweetheart, "accidentally" ran into Feng Yuan and the Twelve Princesses of unknown origin together on a dark and stormy night of the month. Telling others things that have never been said to her, how can Ban Weizhi, who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, can bear it, and immediately fights, but the twelve princesses changed from the previous sturdy style in the King Khan's racecourse, blindly dodging Showing weakness, but she refuses to be idle with her mouth, doing her best to insinuate, sneer, and sarcastic, her eyes are blackened with anger, but Feng Yuan beside her not only does not help her vent her anger, but also defends that woman everywhere.Ban Weizhi was so angry that he couldn't help but press the hidden compartment in the iron fan. The sharp blade on the fan bone was soaked in poison. During the fight, the poisoned sharp blade cut through the wrist of the twelve princesses.
The insect poison from the Western Regions was extremely overbearing. Even though the twelve princes tried their best to treat it, the princess still passed away before dawn.The twelve princes were frightened, angry and heartbroken. They decided that Feng Yuan was the culprit, and led Tie Yingwei to detain him forcibly. On the same day, they sent an urgent message back to the capital, asking King Khan to make the decision.
At the same time, news was sent back from the capital that the case of the missing envoy of Dayou had finally made new progress. Someone anonymously provided evidence that the man in black who chased and killed Wei Nange that night came from the Royal Ranch. A Yonghe army has just entered the pass and is temporarily stationed there.
What's even more ominous is that when the Khan's palace envoy went to the Yonghe military camp to investigate, he found that the leader of the army, Fengjianhua, had been away for many days, and his deputy Mei Wangting was evasive about her whereabouts, which made people suspicious.
Murong Qi saw Feng Jianhua buried in the sea of flames with his own eyes. I don't know if this news has reached Feng Yuan at this time. Even if he doesn't know it yet, the current situation is already very unfavorable to him.
Now, he even lost Ban Weizhi's trust.
"With such repeated blows, even Feng Yuan might not be able to hold his breath anymore." Murong Jiu conjured up a paper fan out of nowhere, and tapped his palm time after time.
"He... Feng Yuan really thought I was dead?"
"Of course he's not that easy to deceive, but it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, anyway, he can't explain it to Ban Weizhi, unless he doesn't want to be married." Murong Jiu chuckled, "I also just took the opportunity to escape, By the way, let the twelve little princes go free, that kid is not bad, and he will have a chance to meet a good girl in the future."
Murong Qi remained silent, these plots are intertwined, although it is very easy for Xiao Jiu to say, but the timing, measure, and even everyone's reaction need to be calculated accurately, she can't do it by herself.
"What, your heart hurts?" Murong Jiu tapped her forehead with the fan handle.
She shook her head, "This is the path he chose. Whether it is good or bad, he must bear it alone. Even if a step is good, it still needs to be fulfilled by God's will. Other people's emotions are useless."
Whether he walked together all the way, or lived and died together, but after all, he is not the one she can devote her whole life to, this is God's will.
"That's right, you should feel sorry for the one you should love right now." Murong Jiu smiled in satisfaction, stretched out his foot and kicked her, "Okay, the story is over, you should go down."
"What do you mean?" Murong Qi noticed that the carriage had stopped at some point.
"Aren't you going to Tianhe City? The two of us will not accompany you." Murong Jiu conjured up a crimson face scarf decorated with pearls and jade out of nowhere, put it on, raised his eyes and said with a smile, "My lord personally escorted Mr. Wei back home." In Chiyue City, King Khan should show some face."
Wei Nange, who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the carriage as an audience, was finally startled when he saw his appearance at this moment: "Young Master Fei Yi! Young Master Jiu, you are actually..."
Murong Qi couldn't hear the rest of the conversation, because at this moment, Murong Jiu opened the car door, pushed her out with great force, and said with a beating smile, "Hurry up, someone is coming to pick you up. "
Surprised by this guy's sneak attack, this made Murong Qi very upset. She turned over in mid-air, and was about to catch up with him to repair it, but suddenly saw a person in the post booth a few steps away. He folded his arms and looked up at her without saying a word.
She changed her mind immediately, her breath sank, and she lightly landed in front of him, smiling like a flower.
"Ah Che, so you came to pick me up!"
Looking at the carriage going away, Ji Che said, "What the hell are you two doing?"
Murong Qi was upset: "When it comes to playing tricks, how can I compare to Murong Jiu!"
As if to confirm her words, around the carriage running alone on the road, suddenly there were eight snow-white horses, and eight young girl knights in white clothes, very coquettish and [-]% ostentatious.
After all, Ji Che couldn't help smiling, and pulled out two horses from the post booth: "Let's go."
The Shuobei grassland in the early winter afternoon is desolate but vast, with undulating mountains in the distance, snow-capped peaks meeting the sky, and the rare sunlight passing through the gray cumulus clouds, shedding beams of golden light.Murong Qi kept turning her head to look at the man half a horse behind her, the corners of her lips could not help but slightly raised.
Ji Che felt uncomfortable being watched by her, and frowned, "What are you looking at?"
Murong Qi raised his horsewhip and pointed to a big tree in the distance, and said loudly: "Ah Che, let's compete to see who will arrive first. If you win, I will tell you."
After saying that, he shook the rein in his hand and galloped away first.Ji Che was stunned for a moment, then gave a light scold, and rode his horse in hot pursuit.
When he was about to catch up, Murong Qi suddenly let go of the reins, his toes came off the stirrups, and he jumped up from the horse's back and rushed towards Ji Che.
Ji Che hastily took control of the rein with one hand, and tied her up in the air with the other, placing her firmly in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't get carried away."
Murong Qi raised his head from his embrace, smiling brightly: "With you here, I'm still proud!"
Ji Che lowered his head to meet her gaze, that gaze was so clear that he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, he tightened his palms around her waist, and said softly, "Sit tight!" The two of them joined forces, like arrows flying against the wind. gallop.
The cold wind blows fiercely on the face, and the body behind her is warm and strong. At this moment, it is so satisfying. It turns out that what I wish in this life is nothing more than this.
Ji Che didn't stop until the big tree he just pointed out, let go of the rein, and let the horse roam freely.Murong Qi leaned lazily in his arms, looked at the mountains and the vast grasslands, and sighed: "Actually, this place is quite nice..."
"Qiqi." Ji Che interrupted her suddenly, "What are your plans when you arrive in Tianhe City?"
"Plan?" Murong Qi was stunned, he was busy running for his life all the way, and he hadn't thought about this question, so he asked, "What about you?"
"I need to go back to the head of the Hongshui Gang." Ji Che's voice became cold, "the gang has urgent matters to deal with."
Murong Qi's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly remembered what Feng Jianhua said in the ruins of the ancient city, did he know about Xiao Ci's life experience?
She asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"After I pretended to fall off the cliff that day, Feng Yuan instructed Feng Jianhua to pass the news of my death back to the Hongshui Gang. I was injured at that time, and Longmian Lake was too remote to contact the gang in time. Cheng Cheng had the opportunity to pass on the letter to Xiao Guo, according to Xiao Guo, now the big and small affairs of the gang have been replaced by others, if I don't go back, I'm afraid something will change."
Murong Qi couldn't help frowning and said: "Your words have no basis, your subordinates believe that you are dead so easily?"
"What if it's Xiaoci who said that?"
Murong Qi was stunned for a moment, he really knew!
Ji Ci is the nominal daughter of the old gang leader, Ji Che's younger sister. She has helped with the gang's affairs for many years, and she is as familiar with the entire Hongshui gang as Ji Che. Everyone even tacitly agrees that she is the future wife of the gang leader. ... If she said that Ji Che was dead, it would be a matter of course for her to take over the Hongshui Gang. Not only would no one doubt it, she would even get the support of the elders.
She turned her head and looked at him worriedly, but his expression was the same as before, whether he was sad or lost.
But she thought, for so many years, he loved Xiaoci wholeheartedly like his own sister, and never kept any secrets, but in the end, he couldn't live up to Fengyuan's orders, and even lost the foundation of the Hongshui Gang for many years, what was going on in his heart? Can you not be sad?If it was her, she would have been so entangled that she couldn't eat or sleep.
She stretched out her hand, put it on the back of his hand holding the rein, and said, "I'll go back with you!"
"Okay." He flipped his wrist, held her hand instead, and replied solemnly.
The two of them didn't stop all the way, and soon they saw the tall city walls of Tianhe City.
As the largest border town in Baishuo, Tianhe City has a very special terrain. The whole city is built on the mountain, and the side facing Dayou Zixia Pass is an extremely steep cliff, and horses can hardly walk on it.But the side facing Baishuo is low hills and valleys, surrounded by big rivers outside the city, named Tianshi, after the name of the middle and lower walls of the three walls of stars.
Seeing the sparkling water of the Tianshi River close in front of him, Murong Qi was about to urge his horse forward, but Ji Che suddenly tightened the reins and abruptly stopped the horse, which was not running fast.
"Ache?"
"No." He frowned and murmured, "It's still early in the day, but the suspension bridge has not been lowered, and there may be changes in the city."
Murong Qi followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw that the city gate on the other side of the river was closed tightly, and the huge suspension bridge at the gate was also firmly tied by iron locks, and there was no other road to pass through.
"What the hell is Wei Ji doing?" She muttered, looking over the city wall.When I saw this, I was shocked, and saw that the battlements were densely packed with archers who were ready to go, and behind the archers, the Baishuo City flag, which should have been an eagle chasing a wolf, had been replaced by one. Faced with a black and black flag, the cold wind blows, she can see clearly, the beast on the flag has red eyes, red beak, and yellow body——
Yonghe!
Her heart sank.
Ji Che also saw the flag of the Yonghe Army on the city wall. He calmly steered the horse back, and only took two steps back. Suddenly, a feathered arrow shot out from the city wall and stabbed deeply at the horse's leg. The black horse was frightened. Neighing and standing up, Ji Che hastily drew back the reins to stabilize the horse, his eyes fell on the city wall, where a large iron-bodied bow was slowly being retracted, revealing a familiar, unparalleled handsome face.
Now, he has taken off his gorgeous robe, his eyes are no longer affectionate, and his smile is no longer gentle. Under the black armor, his face has a strange chill, looking down at the two people on horseback. .
Ji Che also looked at him. Although his voice was not loud, he could hear every word clearly.
"It seems that Palace Master Feng has decided to break with King Khan?"
While talking, he stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow, turned his fingers lightly, and just as he finished speaking, the arrow in his hand was shot, like a flash of lightning, straight towards Fengyuan above the city wall.
With such a long distance, Feng Yuan could naturally avoid it, but he had to interrupt what he was going to say, and he was a little embarrassed in the end.He caught the arrow with one hand, his luck was broken, and his voice was as soft as before, but with a bit of coldness: "Master Ji Shao is going to return to the city, since he is here, why bother to leave?"
Ji Che said coldly: "This city is not that city, so it's useless to stay longer. I'm afraid Palace Master Feng is too busy to take care of himself at this time, so we won't bother you."
"Us?" Feng Yuan glanced at Murong Qi in his arms, narrowed his almond eyes and said, "I don't know what Master Ji Shao wants to do by kidnapping my wife?"
Murong Qi, who had been trying to keep silent all this time, finally couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily: "Shen Qianchi, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh? What's wrong with what I said?"
Murong Qi gritted his teeth angrily, decided not to entangle him with this matter, and asked loudly: "Where is Wei Ji? Where is he?"
Feng Yuan smiled faintly: "What does the whereabouts of the defeated generals have to do with me?"
"You..." She looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally said, "...you are crazy."
He took a deep look at her from the city, but didn't answer any more, he just said to Ji Che, "Presumably Ji Shao's gang leader has already known that your gang has changed hands now, Ji Ci—or she should be called Shang." Feixu—has taken over the helm of the Hongshui Gang." After a pause, he continued, "As the widow of the young gang leader."
The hand around his waist tightened, Murong Qi knew that he was afraid that she would think too much about it, so he stretched out his hand and stroked the back of his hand lightly to indicate that it was okay, but he immediately held it back firmly.
She heard him say in a calm voice, "So what?"
The subtle movements did not escape Feng Yuan's eyes, and a trace of rage flashed in his almond eyes, he said coldly: "No, I just kindly remind you that if you meddle in your own business here, it is better to hurry back."
Ji Che said: "I also want to remind you that Wei Nange is heading towards Chiyue City right now, and you are the one who should rush back earlier."
Regarding this matter, Feng Yuan obviously didn't want to say more. He drew the iron bow again, put three feathered arrows on the string, and said loudly: "As long as Master Ji puts my wife down, I can let you retreat completely, otherwise , even if your miraculous skill is world-class, I am afraid it is not as good as the thousand arrows fired from this city."
Ji Che's face was indifferent when he heard the words, he didn't even look up, but lowered his head and asked, "Qiqi, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Murong Qi shook his head, and smiled lightly: "Even if I accidentally die, I will be with you anyway."
The conversation as if there was no one else around, maybe other people can't hear clearly, but with Feng Yuan's ear strength, he can hear it very clearly.In his eyes, her smile was nothing more than a sharp sword, piercing the eyes and piercing the heart.He couldn't help closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and when he let go of his fingers, three arrows whizzed away.
These three arrows were like a silent order, and thousands of arrows were fired at the city wall, and the sky was full of arrows, covering the two of them in an instant.
Just as Feng Yuan let go, Ji Che had turned his horse's head and galloped away, but in a blink of an eye, the feathered arrows roared behind him, he flew up with one arm around Murong Qi, and the other hand held the thunder cone, pouring his inner energy into the tip of the spear , knocked away the three arrows that Feng Yuan had fired first, and when they landed, the dagger in Murong Qi's hand cut a circle of cold light, and the arrows close to him were chopped off by the sharp blade one after another.The two cooperated with each other and retreated a few feet. When the second wave of arrow rain fell, a group of heavily armed cavalry suddenly rushed out of the valley not far behind. The knights and tall horses were wrapped in thick iron armor. , The speed was fast and orderly, forming an encirclement trend. Immediately, the iron shield in the knight's hand closed, like a copper wall and an iron wall, enclosing the two of them into the horse formation.
Yujian was already exhausted so far, and in this way, they didn't even touch the corners of their clothes.
Murong Qi was slightly startled, looked around, saw the horse's hooves trampling, and Ji Che was scattered to nowhere.
Just at this time, a black horse in silver armor galloped straight towards her. The knight on the horse bent over and stretched his arms, picked her up, and put her in front of him. His movements were clean and neat, obviously his equestrian skills were superb.
Murong Qi's heart moved, he hurriedly turned his head, and he saw a pair of green eyes behind the visor, he said happily, "Wei Ji!"
The person on the horse was Wei Ji, and his silver armor was particularly eye-catching among the gray iron armor.Murong Qi looked over from him immediately, and saw that in such a short time, many teams of cavalry emerged from the valleys in all directions, although there were many in number, they were not chaotic at all, and they quickly formed an formation by the Tianshi River, obviously there was something wrong come prepared.
How does this formation look like a defeated army?Murong Qi suddenly understood, and said in a low voice: "Did you let Feng Yuan occupy Tianhe City on purpose?"
Tianhe City changed hands easily after only one day of Ji Che's departure. This is really not like the strength of Wei Ji, who is known as "Greedy Wolf".
Wei Ji said in a deep voice: "I just took the order of my father to let him return to the capital as soon as possible to test it out. Who would have thought that he would join forces with the Yonghe army who entered the pass to attack at night. Don't blame me for being so impatient. You're welcome."
How Wei Ji probed, and how Feng Yuan attacked at night, Murong Qi didn't know, but obviously, Feng Yuan, who was besieged on all sides, faced the inauspicious king's capital, whether he would endure or break, he bet on the latter.
With the strength of the Yonghe army, it is absolutely impossible to fight against Bai Shuo's army. She knows him well, and even if she has to resort to dangerous tactics, she will never do the stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg. The most likely thing is that Feng Yuan wants to use this battle to win Tianhe City was used as a bargaining chip, and perhaps together with the treasures of the Juze Digong and Ban Weilian's favorite Xiyingdiji, they came to negotiate terms with King Khan.
However, Wei Ji's feigned defeat and the current approach of the soldiers forced the two armies to form a confrontation.It is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Wei Ji looked at Murong Qi's thoughtful expression, and said dissatisfied: "He deserves to be blamed, it's not worth worrying about."
"I just feel that he's acting too hastily." Murong Qi shook his head and said.
Wei Ji snorted coldly: "It has nothing to do with me that he wants to restore the country. As long as the father supports it, I don't bother to care about it. But he shouldn't lie to Xiaozhi. What I hate the most is the guy who takes advantage of women."
That's right, although he is young, he is still an elder brother, he has someone he wants to protect, and he doesn't want her to be wronged, just like Murong Jiu.
When she was in a trance, she heard Wei Ji say again: "It's very dangerous here, you should avoid it first, I'll talk about it when I come back."
After speaking, he supported her waist with one hand, and after giving it away, her body was already in the air, and was picked up by another person in a blink of an eye.
Two horses passed by, Murong Qi hurriedly said: "Hey, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the young general Yinjia rushed to the front of the team like a gust of wind.
"On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, so let's talk about what we have to say."
A familiar voice came from behind, she touched her nose and said, "I just told him to be careful."
"Although your second husband is young, he has already been on the battlefield for a long time. You don't need to remind him, so he will naturally be careful."
She burst out laughing: "Ache, are you jealous?"
The palm around her waist tightened slightly, and she heard him say: "This time the marriage is your own decision again, I'm afraid you have already forgotten what I said when I was in Quxia."
"This is an expedient measure, otherwise—" She glanced at him sideways, and smiled without any regrets, "I promise there will be no next time, okay? But... I have already promised you, there will be no next time How can it be good?"
"...Murong Qi, how dare you!"
"Don't dare dare!" She smiled maliciously, "Ah Che, you are blushing, did I hit you?"
"..."
……
While speaking, Ji Che had already led her away from Tianhe City, within a stone's throw of Tianhe City, and entered the valley where the cavalry appeared before.Murong Qi was surprised to find that these not tall rocky mountains were full of caves and corridors. The cave entrances were originally blocked by bushes and boulders, but now the obstructions have been pushed away, revealing dark and deep cave entrances.Presumably, after Wei Ji pretended to be defeated and left Tianhe City, he led his troops into these secret passages, so that he could come back without anyone noticing.
This should be the secret fortification that Bai Shuo dug to protect Tianhe City. Feng Yuan obviously didn't know about it, but Ji Che didn't seem surprised. Recalling his performance just now, Murong Qi suddenly said: "Ah Che, you Did you already know that Wei Ji was nearby?"
That's why he intentionally provoked Feng Yuan and distracted him so that Wei Ji could take the opportunity to attack!
"Before leaving Tianhe City, Xiao Jiu and I discussed with General Wei Xiao, if there is any change in Tianhe City, we will use the black eagle raised in his army as a secret."
Ji Che raised his head, and in the clear blue sky, several big black eagles were circling low and low. This common sight in the Mobei grassland has now become a secret signal of a deep mystery.
It turned out that all of Feng Yuan's possibilities had been considered.It turned out that this was God's will.
She wanted to look back at the lonely city standing tall, but finally held back.Only Yu sighed curlingly, scattered in the cold and lonely wilderness, soundlessly.
The battle under the city did not start, of course Feng Yuan would not really lose his mind, when he saw Wei Ji's returning cavalry, he already knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he chose to retreat and negotiate.
"He wants to take two thousand Yonghe troops in the city and retreat to Zixia Pass in three days." In the main camp, Wei Ji looked at the map on the table and said thoughtfully, "He will keep Xiaozhi on condition that I retreat thirty li."
After a moment of silence, Murong Qi said: "Have you promised him?"
"Not yet." Wei Ji shook his head and said, "I also need some time to make a decision. On the day the Yonghe army attacked Tianhe City, the fastest horse had already sent a secret letter to the king, and the king's capital replied to arrive here. There are two days."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked out with his hands behind his back: "Xiao Zhi is still in his hands, I can't act rashly. It's up to my father to decide how to choose."
However, no matter whether Feng Yuan and Wei Ji, or between Feng Yuan and Ban Weilian are enemies or friends in the end, it has nothing to do with Murong Qi and Ji Che. To be honest, the relationship between them and him During the period, some of them were just some personal grievances, never involving national hatred and family hatred.
It's just that Tianhe City is the only place to go out of the customs. The continuous mountains and mountains on the border are difficult to climb. If you want to change to another border city to pass the customs, you will have to walk for at least ten days.Therefore, the two decided to stay temporarily and decide where to go depending on the situation two days later.
At midnight of the next day, Murong Qi was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up by a noise, and walked out of the barracks in cloaked clothes, only to see bright lights in front of him, figures constantly coming and going, and the muffled sound of military drums coming from a distance, followed by a loud bang.Her heart tightened, she turned her head and went to Ji Che's residence.
After walking a few steps, he saw Ji Che's tall figure walking towards her through the soldiers coming and going. Before she could speak, he said, "One hour ago, King Khan's secret letter arrived."
"how?"
His voice was extremely low amidst the chaotic footsteps: "Destroy the Yonghe army, kill without mercy."
Murong Qi understood that Wei Ji must have executed the secret order as soon as he got it.
"He's preparing for a surprise attack, but it's a pity that the Movie Emperor Ji is still in Feng Yuan's hands. The longer the time, the worse it will be." Ji Che frowned, "I haven't received Xiao Jiu's letter from Qingyao yet, but counting the time, Wei Nange should have just arrived in Chi Moon City—"
"So, Ban Weilian didn't make this decision because he negotiated the conditions with Wei Nange, but because he had long wanted to get rid of Feng Yuan." Murong Qi sighed softly, "He still made a choice, even disregarding his own daughter's wishes. safety."
"Ban Weilian is cruel and perverse, but Feng Yuan wants to take advantage of his favorite daughter. How can he be willing to be controlled by this? His own flesh and blood are not more important than Jiangshan."
He paused for a moment, then said again: "It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay."
Murong Qi was stunned for a moment, before he could speak, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, Wei Ji in silver armor came striding forward, his blue eyes were cold and his face was livid.
"He used Xiao Zhi to threaten me." His voice was cold, but his eyes fell on Murong Qi, "Yan Ran, he wants to see you."
The tall city walls of Tianhe City showed a grim gray-white under the light of the stars and the moon. The lights below the city were brightly lit, but only a few old lanterns under the eaves were on on the towers. Looking from a distance, the two people under the lights seemed to be embedded in the dark blue night. Silhouetted, the man is tall and tall, with flying skirts, and the woman is petite and delicate, so weak that if it is not for the soldiers approaching the city, it is really like the person in the painting.
Murong Qi rode forward slowly, Wei Ji at the side hesitated again and again, and finally reached out to hold the rein, saying: "Yan Ran, don't force it."
Murong Qi turned to look at him: "Xiao Wei, tell me the truth, do you have other ideas?"
Wei Ji lowered his eyes and said, "There will always be some."
Of course there will be—as long as Xiao Zhi is forced to attack the city regardless of Xiaozhi’s safety, ten Fengyuan can also be taken—he understands the choice behind his father’s order.But the father could be ruthless, but he couldn't.Although Xiaozhi is pampered, she is the best person in the entire Chiyue Palace who treats him the best. She never cares about his humble background, so he tolerates her waywardness.He is her elder brother, how can he abandon her?
Murong Qi asked him to tell the truth, the truth is, in the current situation, he has no way to have both.
"You have no other way." Murong Qi knew very well in his heart, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So I still want to go, at least I have the ability to protect myself. As long as you get back to Xi Ying Di Ji smoothly, you will have no scruples. Xiao Wei, you I used to say that I am your family left by God, now, just treat it as my sister helping you, don't thank me too much."
As she said that, her eyes passed him and fell on the person not far behind him. He was watching her quietly, with a hint of tenderness in his usually stern eyes.From the beginning to the end, he didn't stop her, as he himself said, it was up to her to decide whether to go or stay.
She smiled at him, turned her head, scolded lightly, and rode away.
Ji Che watched silently as she wore a bright and sassy Hu suit, walked through the heavy military formations alone, the huge suspension bridge was slowly lowered, one person rode one by one, and gradually disappeared at the other end of the dark city gate.
Wei Ji's voice sounded beside her ear: "I thought you would stop her."
Ji Che smiled faintly: "Whatever she wants to do, just do it."
From childhood to adulthood, it is better to be.She is in charge of whatever she wants, and he is in charge of her—her safety, her mess, her joy, her distress, what's wrong with this?She can be as free as possible, regardless of the consequences.This is the greatest pampering he promised to give her.
Dada's hoofbeats sounded very clear in the middle of the night, with a hollow echo, step by step across the thick wooden boards of the suspension bridge, and across the huge bluestone under the city gate.A dim and flickering lantern lit up on the long street not far away. The two people who were standing on the city wall just now were waiting quietly under the lamp, like two statues.
She stopped her horse and said loudly: "I'm already here, you can let Xi Ying Di Ji leave."
Feng Yuan didn't speak, but hung the lantern in his hand on the window lattice of the small building next to him. In the dim light, she saw him reach out and pat Ban Weizhi's body a few times, unlocking the acupoints.
Ban Weizhi didn't come over immediately, she turned around and said something to the man behind her, the voice was as low as a whisper, Murong Qi couldn't hear clearly, but she heard Feng Yuan's answer, he said: " Never."
As soon as the words fell, Ban Weizhi raised his hand and slapped him hard, turned and left without looking back, walked straight to Murong Qi, and said coldly: "Come down, give me the horse."
The girl's face was full of tears, but her eyes seemed to be stained with the frost and snow of the Northland, she was fierce and cold.
Murong Qi suddenly remembered how she was when he first met her, although she was spoiled and willful, she was also bright and charming.But from now on, since she turned around, Ban Weizhi, who was so carefree, will never come back again.
Perhaps it will be a long time before she understands that Feng Yuan's unfeeling is the greatest tenderness towards her.
The sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared at the end of the long street, but he just looked at her, as if he had returned to the Tanhua Mansion in Beigong that day, with his affectionate and soft eyes, and the corners of his lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, calm and charming.
He slowly took down the lantern on the window sill, and said softly: "Yanran, have a drink with me."
He took her around the corner and knocked on the closed door of a wine shop.It's just that there was sudden chaos in the city, and the store has long since disappeared.He was not polite, with a swipe of his palm, the door panels were split apart, and he entered with a lamp. The familiar person took out a simple and simple pottery vase from behind the counter, and even put an ingot of gold on it.
"This is the best wine in the city, called 'Zhu Yan'." He took off the cap, and a burst of rich wine fragrance wafted out immediately.He took two glasses by himself, sat down by the window near the inner courtyard, filled up the wine, and then smiled at her: "Come and sit, have a taste."
The wine in the black pottery wine cup showed a faint rose red under the dim candlelight, Murong Qi gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, but he did not raise his glass for a long time.Feng Yuan chuckled lightly, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, and said: "Now that things have happened, are you still afraid that I will harm you?"
"That's not it."
Murong Qi shook his head, lightly took a sip of the wine in the glass, only felt the aroma was overwhelming, the taste was sweet, he couldn't help but drank it all in one gulp, sighed: "It really is a good wine."
"The boss here is from Jiangnan. He never went back after coming to Mobei in the early years. Because he missed his hometown so much, he made this wine with green plum and rose paste from Jiangnan. This is the taste of his hometown in his memory." Said while opening the wooden window at hand, and raised the lantern to the window, "Look, Yanran."
She looked along the light, and vaguely saw pavilions, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water outside the window, which were arranged into a small and exquisite Jiangnan garden.To be able to build such a landscape in the land of Mobei, the boss's homesickness is considered a big deal.
"I grew up in the inner palace of Juze, and then I went to Dayou. I never knew whether there are green plums and roses in the Jiangnan countryside. I thought I must go and see them in the future." He looked at the garden in the dark, Quietly said, "Now, I'm afraid there is no chance."
Murong Qi couldn't bear it, and said sternly: "You put Ban Weizhi back, Wei Ji has no scruples, I'm afraid he will attack the city soon. You are still drinking at this time, do you plan to lose without a fight? "
Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled: "How is it possible?" Before she could speak, he said again: "Do something, don't do something, I think it's worth it, that's the reason. Anyway, I won't see you again , there is probably no chance, I will not rest in peace when I die.”
The first half of this sentence is still serious, but the second half of the sentence becomes shameless.He rested his chin in one hand, rubbed the rim of the cup lightly with the other, and fixed his gaze on her with rolling eyes, gentle and sweet, true and false, elusive.She was stunned for a moment, and put her hand on her forehead: "People are always going to die, but now when the two armies are confronting each other, what you said is really capricious."
He laughed immediately, his almond eyes curved: "Then I will be self-willed for a while."
As he spoke, he filled the wine glass again, looked at the hazy landscape outside the window, and began to sing aloud.
She couldn't understand what he was singing, but felt that the tone of his voice was soft and melodious, which was very pleasant to hear, presumably it was a little song from Jiangnan.But she didn't understand that he finally replaced her with Ban Weizhi, but he just drank and chatted with her, neither talking about war nor love affairs.What exactly is the intention?How would he deal with the Baishuo cavalry who were staring at him outside the city?Was he going to take her hostage, or let her go?
However, maybe the wine is too mellow, or the music is too sweet, even though she has a lot to ask, she didn't say anything, just listened quietly, Zhu Yanzhi's wine glass fell into her throat, as if there were snowflakes falling to the ground outside the window , turned into streamer in an instant.
Gradually, he felt a little groggy, as if drunk, but by the time Murong Qi realized something was wrong, it was too late.
She rubbed her eyes, but there was an upside-down and chaotic scene in front of her eyes.At such a time, he actually gave her drugs. This person is really shameless, but she can't bear his situation. She thinks that she can trust him at last, she is really stupid.
But before she could say these words, she was overwhelmed by drowsiness, and before she fell asleep, she could only hear him sing: "The most unbearable thing in the world..."
Murong Qi had a dream.
In the dream, she returned to the wedding two years ago. She, Feng Guanxia, married into the Shizi's mansion, the red tape flashed by, and finally she was fixed in the new house illuminated by red candles.
She still remembered that day, the bridal house was deserted, no one came to congratulate her, and the groom was even missing. After sweeping away the cakes and wine on the table, she wrapped herself in a quilt and slept soundly.
In the dream, the pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles were still there, but the candle flame was in a trance. From that trance, she vaguely saw a slender figure standing in front of her. The man slowly raised the red hijab with a weighing ruler, and she seemed to He was tied up with ropes, unable to move or shout.
Feng Yuan's face appeared little by little from under the swaying tassels, with a graceful jaw, light lips, narrowed almond eyes, and an affectionate smile. He stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said, "Yan Ran, if I don't care about anything, Don't ask for anything, don't want anything, will you go with me?"
She could neither shake her head nor nod her head, she couldn't speak, she could only watch him leaning down towards her, the red candles in the room behind him turned into a fierce flame in an instant, and the flames swirled around like a giant beast in the wild, devouring it. Come.
Xifu burst into flames, but he didn't dodge or evade, bewitching her: "Come with me, Yan Ran, come with me."
The flames suddenly enveloped him, and his flawless appearance turned into horrific scars in an instant, just like when she first saw him.But he still didn't leave, just stretched out his hand to hug her, the fire on his body burned her body, skin and hair, scorching hot and stinging, but she could only watch him turn into ashes inch by inch in front of her in vain, the ashes However, the voice continued: "Yanran... come with me..."
She shuddered and screamed, and woke up suddenly.
However, the suffocating heat did not disappear because of the disappearance of the dream.
She sat up suddenly, only to find that the strange bedroom she was in was already surrounded by fire. Although there was no fire in the room for the time being, the hot air was full of burnt smell, and the bright red flames that sprang up outside the window seemed to be spitting out one after another. The giant snake with a bright red tongue could break through the window at any moment.
Is this the purpose of Feng Yuan?He tried every means to see her, just to kill her silently.
Recalling the scene in the dream, she only felt shuddering, he was such a ruthless and cruel person, those gentle whispers and emotional confessions, at this moment, all turned into destructive flames, and disappeared into nothingness.
The sound of the beams collapsing brought her back to her senses quickly, and she jumped up. The most important thing right now is to find a way to escape.But when she got off the ground, she realized that she had changed into an extremely gorgeous dress. The fine white silk satin was cold and slippery to the touch, but thick and warm. The skirt was embroidered with colorful silk threads, with clusters of flowers and birds among the flowers. The feathers are gorgeous and lifelike.The blue cloak is as deep as a lake, embellished with fine peacock feathers and precious stones, embroidered in the shape of phoenix feathers, wrapped around the shoulders.
——Hundred birds facing the phoenix, this is a dress that only women in the world are qualified to wear!
Did he do this because he thought that if she became a ghost, he would willingly follow him to dominate the world, or did he think that he would die in this battle so he wanted to die with her?She didn't have time to speculate about his treacherous thoughts, the clothes were pretty, and they must have been expensive, but at this moment she just felt cumbersome, not to mention the inconvenient movement, and those peacock feathers and skirts that dragged the floor could easily ignite her body.
She tore off the shawl and the gorgeous embroidery, rolled up her sleeves, found an embroidery stool from a corner, and threw it at the window.
As soon as the window was broken, the flames rushed in immediately, quickly burning the tables and chairs with overwhelming momentum, but it also opened up a passage.Murong Qi picked up the thin quilt on the bed, extinguished the few fires closest to him with all his strength, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed out.
But she didn't know where it was at all, she lost her way after walking a few steps without thinking, looking around, there were all tongues of flames, the sea of flames was thick, and there was no way out.Her eyes were blurred by the smoke, her throat was stinging, and every breath was filled with hot soot. She could smell the burnt smell of her hair being scorched by the flames, her heart beat violently like a drum, and unprecedented fear gradually came to her heart.She felt a little hopeless that she might really have to confess her life that she had raised for 20 years today.
Not reconciled!She is still so beautiful, she has not yet married and had children with the person she loves, she doesn't want to die!
If she was burnt beyond recognition, would Ah Che still recognize her?She just promised to marry him, but she broke her promise like this. Is he more angry or sad?In another ten or twenty years, will he forget her—no, no, no!If he dares to forget her, she will become a ghost, pestering him every day and night...
While thinking wildly, she waved her arms in vain to fend off sparks, until even despair became trance, her head seemed to be stuffed with ashes, and even her body was turned into ashes. Seeing the ashes-in-the-gray Feng Yuan in the dream, his smile was gentle and gloomy, and he said: "It's all turned into ashes, and we will never be separated again."
"Ache..." Help!But her voice could only be a hoarse whimper through her burning throat.
"Seven seven!"
It's over, she's really dying, and she's hallucinating.
"Qiqi! Qiqi answer me quickly!"
No, not right!This is not an auditory hallucination!
She raised her heavy eyelids with all her remaining strength, and saw a tall and familiar figure appearing in front of her like a god through the ever-collapsing roof beams and crumbling door openings.
It's so dazzling!She blinked, wanting to smile coquettishly at him, but the tears couldn't stop falling, drop by drop, before they fell to the ground, they were burned away by the heat.
He bent down and picked her up by the waist, and covered her head and face with the soaked robe, before he could say a word, he rushed into the flames again.
She was held tightly in his chest by him, and the flames were raging within his arms, but her whole world was settled and quiet in the familiar warmth of this side.She could hear his heavy breathing, violent heartbeat, and slight trembling—he was afraid, and she knew that this guy who was not afraid of death and always pretended to be cold, he was afraid because of her.
She was a little proud and wanted to laugh at him a few words, but she gathered the clothes on his chest tightly, and her tears became more turbulent—really, this is not an illusion, he is real!He found her who was lost in the sky full of flames, all of this is true!
At some point, the clamor of flames in her ears was replaced by chaotic footsteps, and the hot and stuffy breath became cold and comfortable. She heard him whispering her name, and his lips fell on her forehead and cheeks. I wanted to say that it would not be very good-looking to say that it would be half-cooked if we kissed each other soon, but after taking a few breaths of fresh air, she finally fainted out of disappointment.
Before she fainted, she did not forget to hold his hand firmly.
After waking up, she must tell him that the moment she saw him, she suddenly wasn't afraid of death at all.She has done it arbitrarily for so long, and he has indulged and guarded him for so long, she has long been inseparable from him, no matter whether it is life or death, no matter whether it is the past or the future.
The world is so unpredictable, the road is so tortuous, fortunately, she turned around, fortunately, he is still there.
