By the time I finished my business and came out of the Hanlin Academy, it was almost sunset.

Looking up at the sunset in the west, the clouds burned like fire, dyeing half of the sky, and imprinting all the qiē red, looking bewitching and charming.

I can't help but feel that time always passes so easily, and it feels like there are still many things that are too late to be done, and the day is over like this.

I left the palace quickly, and met Ah Zheng who had been waiting for me at the Donghua Gate.

"Childe!"

Ah Zheng saluted, helping me into the carriage as he spoke.

I nodded slightly to Ah Zheng, and when I sat down, I asked Ah Zheng to leave Donghua Gate quickly.

On the carriage, he hurriedly changed the official clothes, put on a set of light regular clothes, and then inserted the bamboo flute bought in the market yesterday on the back belt, and then waited for the place where he said goodbye to Ah Zheng, he got off the carriage, sat on a white fast horse arranged in advance, and instructed Ah Zheng to go back to the princess's mansion first, and then galloped to the direction of Yong'an Temple on the fast horse.

I rushed all the way, just want to rush to Yong'an Temple, otherwise, I am afraid that the sky will be completely darkened if I miss the hour, and then it will be a little dangerous to ride a horse to drive at night.

Of course, even if there is danger, I will go to Yong'an Temple, because I have agreed with the princess that I will convey my thoughts about her to her, and I want her to know that I am safe!

I have already looked at the scenery along the road, the horses are galloping fast, the long wind in my ears is constantly whistling, and I only feel that the road is extraordinarily long, as if it will never go to the edge;

"Horse, horse, hurry up and send me to her, and I will thank you for your help today!"

I said cheerfully, and my feet tightened a little tighter, and the white horse, as if he understood what I was saying, neighed, raised his hooves, and drove me as fast as I could down the path, toward where she was.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, I looked at the road in the distance, and in about a stick of incense, I only had to climb the slope to reach the hill opposite Yong'an Temple.

It was the place where Yong'an Temple was picked up recently.

I can't get close to Yong'an Temple, let alone climb the back wall of Yong'an Temple, because those are dangerous acts, and the princess would be worried if she knew about it.

What worries her, I will never do.

As the princess said, I can't climb over that high wall, I can't release the paper kite when the wind is calm, and even if I miss her very much, I can't pass notes or exchange messages with her.

The only way to convey my thoughts is to let my thoughts, accompanied by this distant flute, blow to Yong'an Temple with this pleasant mountain breeze on the hill opposite Yong'an Temple, and then settle in her heart.

My beloved, I want to tell you this heartfelt longing!

......

On the way to the hill, I met an old woman who had fallen in the middle of the road, who seemed to have injured her foot and could not move, and it was so sparsely populated that few people would come this way.

If I hadn't seen it, I am afraid that this mother-in-law would have called the heavens and the earth to be spiritual.

"Kind official, come and save me, poor old woman!"

The old woman's voice was old and a little frightened and hoarse, probably because she was frightened!

"Phew~"

I immediately tightened the reins of my horse, and hurriedly jumped off the horse, having to check on the old woman's injuries first.

"Old woman, don't move, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you, I'll help you check your injuries first. ”

As I spoke, I hurried to the old woman's side, lifted her body from a long distance, and asked while helping her check her injuries:

"Old woman, you sue me first, where did you get hurt?"

I patronized to check on the old woman's injuries, but I didn't see the strange look on her face, and when I was unprepared, the old woman quickly pulled out a dagger from behind, and then stabbed me in the heart without hesitation.

This sudden change scared me out of the body in an instant. But the instinct to survive still prompted me to make a self-help defense, and hurriedly pushed the killer away, trying to take the opportunity to distance the two of them.

The killer thought I was a helpless scholar, and he didn't go all out to hunt me down from the beginning. Suddenly, I pushed me so hard, my body slanted half of the way, and the knife was also in the wrong direction, and it didn't penetrate my heart, but it was extremely sharp, and it scratched my left arm!

Due to the effect of the reverse thrust, my whole body fell backwards, and I was wounded by a knife, and I fell to the ground in a wolfish manner, and after struggling desperately to get up, the killer stabbed me for the second time, and it also followed.

Fang Cai was careless for a while, so he failed to hit with one hit, and now that he has suffered a dark loss, he naturally knows that he has to use all his resources to eliminate this target.

"Die!"

Seeing that I was struggling to get up, the killer shouted, and immediately took the opportunity to pounce, crushing me to the ground in a moment, and stabbing me in the chest again, this blow was a life-threatening and merciless blow.

I immediately reached out and grabbed part of his hand and the wooden handle of the dagger, and some of it touched the blade directly, and the blood instantly dripped down the blade and onto my chest.

My hands hurt, but I can't let go, and once I let go, I have no choice but to die.

I can't die, I definitely can't die here......

At this moment, my desire to survive is stronger than ever, and I see that killer's hideous face exposed in front of my eyes, this man is so powerful, what kind of old woman, it is clearly a man who is pretending to be an old man!

Gradually, I began to feel a little weak, but the killer's strength was getting bigger and bigger, I began to be a little unable to support it, and the blade was getting closer and closer to my heart, so close that it had already cut through my robe, as if with a little more force, it could penetrate my chest and take my life!

Who sent this killer?

He shot really fast and accurately, I'm just afraid that tonight is in a catastrophe, but I'm extremely unwilling, I still have promises to fulfill in the future, I still have people I want to see again, I don't want to die, I can't die!

"Princess, princess......"

I closed my eyes in resignation, and silently said her name.

Suddenly, the muffled sound of the sword piercing into the flesh and bone reached my ears, and I was a little frightened, did the knife pierce my chest?

Then a stream of warm blood sprayed my face, and the killer who had been holding me down, like a puppet that had lost its string, let go of the hand holding the dagger and fell to my side......

My eyes widened suddenly, and I realized that the killer's neck was pierced by a flying knife at some point, and the killer was actually dead?!

I'm not dead, the one who died, it's not me!

When I realized that I had survived the catastrophe, I hurriedly sat up, threw the dagger in my hand, and threw it aside.

The blood all over my body suddenly made me feel sick to my stomach, but the * who survived still dominated me, making me forget the horror of blood for a while, at this time I just wanted to leave this place as much as possible, it was too dangerous here.

I hurriedly stood up, looked around, and did not know who came to the rescue, nor whether it was friend or foe, and hurriedly shouted:

"Who saved my next life, why don't you show up and see you?"

I still can't find out the exact location of that person, but I can imagine that this person's martial arts must be far above mine, and if this person also came to kill me, then I am still in danger.

After a moment of silence, a voice came from the depths of the woods, and it was a little unclear whether it was a man or a woman, but the man said:

"It's better for adults to leave this place, don't stay here, please be cautious!"

And when he had said that, the man said no more.

I breathed a sigh of relief, such a strange and unpredictable method and style of doing things can only be done by the exclusive guardians of the royal family, the Shadow Guard.

If this is the Shadow Guard, is that the princess entrusted me to keep me safe?

She sent her own shadow guard to protect me, so what about her safety?

I hurriedly clasped my fists and said:

"Today's grace, Gao Chen is unforgettable, he will report after the day, thank you, farewell!"

After saying that, I immediately ran to the white horse, turned over and got on the horse, and between the two choices of going back the way I came and continuing on to the hill, I chose to continue on to the hill without hesitation.

There may be some danger ahead, but I said that no matter how dangerous the road ahead, I will still keep my promise.

I really want to see her, I really want to see her right away!

"Rack!"

I drove the horse fast towards the other side of the hill, and when I finally reached the top of the hill, the bright moon was already high in the sky, the cool breeze of the night swept by, and the sound of rustling was constantly heard in the woods.

I sat quietly on the horse's back, pulled the reins of the horse, and looked at the sparsely lit Yong'an Temple.

The eaves bell on the pagoda was entangled by the night wind, and it made a crisp sound that spread around, even if I was standing opposite Yong'an Temple, I could hear it so vividly......

I immediately dismounted, pulled the horse rope, and stood there with the horse, looking in the direction of Yong'an Temple, stunned.

Tonight's night breeze blows people like a drunken drunk, which makes people feel a little reluctant to give up.

The corners of my clothes also danced with the breeze, rolling in the direction of Yong'an Temple, as if to show my state of mind at this moment.

I just want to turn into the wind, fly over this mountain barrier, fly over the high walls of this temple, just to be able to caress your beautiful face, I want to see you again!

For some reason, I thought of the song of Han Yuefu:

Lovesickness, who can complain? I don't know where you are.

Fumen earnestly thinks of the king's order, and climbs high to look at the end of the world.

Isn't that exactly what I'm in mind at this moment?

Lovesickness, since ancient times, is beautiful and sad, but it is as sweet!

Behind him, a person walked slowly, his steps light but concealed, as if he wanted to tell others about his existence.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, took the bamboo flute in front of me from behind, and wiped the dust on it with the corner of my clean clothes.

I put it on my lips and blew it on my lips, but fortunately, it was still intact and the tone was unaffected.

The man behind me stopped not far from me, and I didn't look back at the man, but just said lightly:

"Are you here to kill me, too? Can you please wait a moment until I'm done blowing this song?"

I waited quietly for the man's response, but I didn't get a reply from the man, and the man didn't say anything to me, so I assumed that he acquiesced!

The sound of the flute was lightly opened, and the melodious rhythm came out of the bamboo flute, blending into the wind, breaking the quiet night, I turned this momentary lovesickness into a flute song, let it cross the barriers, and pass it to her side!

This lingering lovesickness, I just want to tell you!
