Heartburn

Although the beauty is in my arms... well, I am in the beauty of the beauty, and I have not completely fallen asleep. I am afraid that I will not see her when I wake up, and I suspect that this is just a fantasy created by my longing and thinking; therefore, I am different. When the change was about to happen, I vaguely felt wrong.

"Jiang Zhuo, do you think... it's too quiet outside?" I tugged at the corner of her clothes, I turned to my side, and changed to lying on my back, but still reluctant to leave her legs—— Staying for a while is a while, I don't know if I have a chance in the future!

"Well, although it's not a avenue, it's too quiet..." She frowned and patted me on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness, you get up first."

"Don't... Well, the king is still a little dizzy, yes, dizzy..." Seeing that she meant to go out to inquire, I didn't want her to take the risk, her brain was hot, and she hugged the rogue to the end. She refused to let it go, "Don't go anywhere, just stay in the carriage..."

But before I finished speaking, I heard an angry shout from the guards outside the carriage: "Who? Protect Your Highness!"

The captain of the guard assigned by Yan Ke hurriedly knocked on the wall of the car, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, our team is surrounded by a group of masked men in black. The opponent is the same number as us, so it is not suitable to fight for a long time; Your subordinates will arrange for some people to cover your Highness's breakthrough, please take care of yourself."

"What? Breaking through?" I was stunned, and it took a while to realize that the team had encountered an unknown ambush—according to what the captain of the guard meant, he was actually trying to hold the enemy behind me, okay. Teach me to escape first?

And hearing her say this, Jiang Zhuo's face turned straight, but he didn't rush out.

I saw that she carefully lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at the situation outside intently, then knocked on the wall of the car, and shouted to the driving guard: "Go now!"

As the wheels swiftly rolled up, I heard the screams of soldiers intersecting outside the carriage filling the land, and occasionally heard the sound of sharp blades cutting flesh and the dull, suppressed cry of pain, some from my guards, There are also those from those in black.

Shrunk in Jiang Zhuo’s arms, I carefully distinguished every sound that taught people to numb the scalp. I wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going on, but cowardly didn’t dare to move. I struggled, hesitated, and at the same time. Spit on his own powerlessness.

—— Needless to say, the purpose of this group of people in black is naturally me, and the guards who rush to fight outside are responsible for the mission of protecting me; in fact, they don't have to do this.

Just hand me over.

It’s a good deal for me to exchange so many people alone, isn’t it?

But I knew in my heart that it was the same thing. If I really wanted to do this, I was still shy away from it.

Whether the current King Ling is the infamous Kuang Xihan or Jian Xin who once held the bottom line of principle, I will not stand out stupidly, stop everyone, and then let the other party kill...I won't.

Because I am afraid, because I can't be so selfless—for me, my life is the most important thing.

With apology and guilt, I acquiesced to Jiang Zhuo's arrangement with the captain of the guards, and half of the guards desperately cut a gap and fled in a carriage.

The carriage was very bumpy, and it was very different from the smooth ride before. I bumped into Jiang Zhuo's arms from time to time, but I no longer had the original charm.

Galloping for about half an hour, I felt a little churning in my stomach, and my head began to dizzy.

At this time, the speed of the carriage finally slowed down, and a strange female voice shouted through the carriage: "Your Highness, it's going to rain soon!"

——It's really a leak in the house that even rains in the night.

Her voice just fell, as if to respond to her, there was a loud "bang", and the thunder was so shocking that the horse pulling the cart panicked and almost overturned the cart.

If it weren’t for Jiang Zhuo’s eyes and swift hands to hold me, I’m afraid that my head will come into close contact with the hard wall of the car. I don’t want to thank her, I lifted the curtain of the car, and said to the temporarily leading guard at my throat. : "Is there a place to shelter from the rain near here?"

The road is slippery on rainy days and it is not suitable for us to hurry. Besides, we were ambushed. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to rest and make plans.

Fortunately, the guard nodded, pointing in a certain direction, and said, "The guard of Pathfinder found a ruined temple three miles away, so I can barely take a break after tidying up."

——It turned out to be a ruined temple with a 99% probability of accident in the legend.

A joking thought suddenly flashed through my mind. The situation forced me to lose my joking mood. I was afraid that the ruined temple three miles away was our only choice.

"Then go to the ruined temple and let's go." After encouraging the guard a few words, I lowered the curtain of the car, and my expression became serious.

"His Royal Highness is worried?" Jiang Zhuo asked faintly, his face was as calm as usual, and taught me to relax a bit.

"Jiang Zhuo, will you protect me?" Listening to the sound of the rain falling on the roof of the car, I stared into her eyes and couldn't help asking.

"Yeah." She answered very softly, almost using breath sounds, but I heard it very clearly, as if she had directly engraved the answer in my heart-and I would not ignore her as well. After answering, the eyes drooping quickly and the reddish cheeks.

If it wasn't for the wrong time, I would really like to kiss her on the face, even if it was a slap in the face, I was willing to do it.

The rain is getting heavier, and I can already feel the rain stars floating in the curtain of the car and the unstoppable chill; finally, when the rain curtain continued to sky, our group rushed to the only bunker nearby-the one that was made simple Described as a ruined temple decorated and beautified.

After several hardships, the guards used the hay in the temple and the dilapidated tents to raise a fire, but I was surrounded by sitting on the upper wind closest to the fire, silently watching the guards take off carelessly. Wrung out their soaked clothes and socks-deliberately told them to be closer to the fire, and then swallowed it back.

Although everyone is a woman, but they are not familiar after all, is it really good to be honest and relatively frank like this?

No matter how long it has been, I still can't adapt to the heroism of the Dawu woman.

And - quietly glanced at Jiang Zhuo, who was concentrating on cooking on the fire. Seeing her looking over at her, I immediately lowered my head and pretended to stir up the fire, and my heart was beating - I had already decided in my heart. Feeling moved with Jiang Zhuo, he consciously should keep a distance from everyone, not to mention staring at someone to change clothes, just look at it more, it shouldn’t be... This consciousness treats Jiang Zhuo equally and has nothing to do with it. men and women.

The hot water boiled, and the "gudugudu" bubbled, and there were some foamed dried mushrooms, which Yan Ke specially prepared for me during the trip; but most of the luggage was in another carriage. There are only so many edible foods left.

I took the wooden bowl Jiang Zhuo handed me and took a small taste. Although it is not as good as the superb craftsmanship of the royal chef, it is not so delicious and wild. The hot soup flows from the throat to the stomach, and the whole body is warmed up. .

Holding a wooden bowl and covering my hands, I sipped the hot soup and counted the number of people-there were probably a hundred escorts with the guards by the carriage when I came out. I experienced the breakthrough just now, plus the scouts and scouts who went out to explore the road. In this small ruined temple, only a group of more than 30 people were left in this small ruined temple. More than half of them had wounds of varying degrees, and even the smell of food could not cover up the wounds. The smell of blood.

When I thought that the wounds of these people and the embarrassment at the moment were all because of me, I suddenly lost my appetite.

The heavy rain continued, and the sky was almost dark. Under the warm fire light, the firm faces of the guards were stained with a touch of fatigue, and the shame in my heart became even heavier.

I simply washed it, and lay on the thick bedding Jiang Zhuo had laid for me, curled up and closed my eyes, but it was hard to fall asleep; it’s not that the place is too hard, nor that it’s too cold this day, it’s just in my heart. Unable to calm down-every time I close my eyes, the scene of those guards falling in a pool of blood emerges. Those young and unwilling eyes seem to be staring at me all the time.

The fire light became faint again. I couldn't help moving towards the heat source, but suddenly an arm crossed my waist and pulled me in the opposite direction. Jiang Zhuo's indifferent voice with a hint of nervousness sounded in my ears. :"Be careful!"

I was so scared that I immediately opened my eyes, and saw her lying beside me with a cold face, with one hand close to my waist and one hand to my ear, almost pressing my whole body under my body; her heartbeat stopped abruptly. One shot, I quickly turned my head to avoid her stare, and saw that the fire was less than one arm away from me. If she hadn't pulled me in time, I was afraid that my face would have been licked by the tongue of fire. It's been.

After being afraid, I didn’t care about being ashamed, and quickly nudged in her direction, and simply withdrew into her arms-I only felt that she was stiff at first, and then I sighed helplessly, confessing my fate. So I use her as a pillow to keep warm.

With Jiang Zhuo by her side, she slept very sweetly while her heart was at ease.

If it were not for the intermittent sound of rain, other movements would be particularly obvious, and the body holding me would suddenly tighten, and I would not be awakened suddenly.

After the clouds were sold and rained, the night sky was as clear as a mirror, and the cold moonlight covered the ruined little temple with a layer of veil, which also added a bit of romance; but even in this way, poets were also impressed by the quiet beauty of the night. There are still people cruelly sabotaging.

The group of people led by the captain of the guard did not catch up. It was probably horrible. The ruined temple taught a group of people in black to surround it. Compared with the panic and panic earlier, I was not so scared, and I still watched leisurely. Look at it-this look, really found a clue.

These people in black wear the most common coarse cloth shorts, which are clean and easy to move. The weapons they use are also the most common private ritual knives. Even the general rivers and lakes are equipped with more, only one point-the ritual knife. The knife blade is not an ordinary oval, slightly slender and flat.

And I clearly remember that when I was surrounded for the first time, I saw with a glimpse that the knives in the hands of the people in black were round without edges.

Could it be that these two groups of men in black... are not the same power?

It seems that there are so many people who want Kuang Xihan to die.
