As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of swords slashing outside, and then the horse's tragic scream sounded, and under a violent shaking, a "bang-" sound was heard, as if some heavy object fell to the ground with a bang, and the car stopped almost instantly, and the surroundings became dead and silent for a moment.

At this moment, Han Zhen sat on the horse coldly like Shura, a trace of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, the sword in his hand was shining coldly, but there were red blood stains dripping down the blade of the sword little by little, and beside it, the frightened horse had already fallen to the ground, and there was a blood mark on his neck that went deep into the extreme, and along this blood mark, the red blood gradually flowed down. The rope that connected the horse to the cart had long since been cut and dangled lonely in mid-air.

"The minister is late for help, please punish His Highness. ”

The man's resolute and cold voice sounded outside, and under the slight shaking of the car curtain, Xiao Yi had already leaned out, carefully helped Gu Yanling out, and then personally stepped forward to help Han Zhen and said, "Thanks to you today." ”

Han Zhen stood up smoothly, and when he saw the wound on Xiao Yi's left arm, his eyes moved slightly, and he immediately said in shock: "Your Highness is injured?"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, then glanced at the horse corpse lying on the ground, and Han Zhen immediately said: "This matter must be reported to Your Majesty, and the Gyeonggi guards and Dali Temple will investigate." ”

"That's it—"

Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Han Zhen was slightly stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "Your Highness—"

"Your Majesty's dragon health has not been safe these days, so don't bother anymore, what's more, today is just an accident. ”

Han Zhen frowned slightly, judging from his many years of patrol experience, the situation in front of him was clearly not an accident, when Han Zhen raised his head and wanted to say more, he saw a flash of deep meaning in Xiao Yi's eyes, almost a flash of lightning, he seemed to understand something, so he covered the surprise in his eyes, and said quite respectfully: "Yes." ”

Under the protection of Han Zhen, Xiao Yi and Gu Yanling returned to the mansion safely, Xu was too nervous, so when Xiao Yi took the medicine, he fell asleep.

At nightfall, Gu Yanling dispersed the group and sat on the edge of the bed to give him medicine, Xiao Yi leaned on the soft pillow, and looked at Gu Yanling in front of him gently, only to see the girl bow her head and be very quiet, carefully dipping the medicine in her hand, and then gently wrapped the gauze tape, for fear of hurting him.

Feeling Xiao Yi's focused gaze, Gu Yanling's heart warmed slightly, looked at the rather deep wound, and couldn't help but say, "If you hadn't protected me, you wouldn't have been injured." ”

Xiao Yi's eyes were still warm when he heard this, but he was a little more willing to say: "If I hurt you, it will be my life, and if I can protect my life, this injury is nothing." ”

Gu Yanling paused slightly when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Yi's serious smile, but he pretended to be angry and didn't reply, lowered his head and continued the work in his hand.

And the next moment, the warm and familiar breath gradually approached, Xiao Yi lowered his head and covered Gu Yanling's lips with an affectionate kiss, Gu Yanling's hand holding the gauze belt couldn't help but loosen slightly, and gently took the bracelet up, the two seemed to be short of breath between the two, and at this time, Xiao Yi reluctantly moved his lips away, covering Gu Yanling's ear, and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice: "It's not a poor mouth, it's true - you are my life, so no matter when, don't care about me, as long as you are good, you are protecting my life." ”

Hearing this sudden affection, Gu Yanling only felt a slight movement in his heart, both painful and warm, so he hugged the person in front of him tighter, and then took the initiative to put his lips up and kiss deeply: "You also have to protect yourself for me-"

The words that followed gradually became lingering and broken, and when the moon gradually climbed into the night sky, and the stars in the sky flashed and brightened in it, Gu Yanling leaned on Xiao Yi's chest, and gradually became serious in his words: "You deliberately suppressed today's affairs, did you have a plan?" ”

The corners of Xiao Yi's lips were slightly hooked when he heard this, and he held Gu Yanling's hand in his hand and said slowly: "Actually, you don't need to think about it, you can guess who it is, it doesn't make much sense to check it or not——"

"What's more, the people who do this are sure that they can't find themselves-"

Hearing Gu Yanling's answer, Xiao Yi nodded.

The two of them almost did not speak as if they had a tacit understanding, but they both knew that except for Xiao Kang, the king of Huai, I was afraid that no one would dare to murder them arrogantly at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Compared with a soft knife like Xiao Yan who is good at camouflage, Xiao Kang really belongs to a simple and rough temperament, perhaps after a long time on the battlefield, he has become accustomed to the way of liking shapes and colors, and is accustomed to the strategy of white knives entering and red knives out.

If you call him like Xiao Yan, he obviously can't wait for the other party to die, but he can still talk and laugh face-to-face, but I'm afraid it will kill him.

But it is such a person who is not as terrible as Xiao Yan.

But this time, Xiao Kang really went too far.

"Compared with the second uncle, Xiao Yan is the one who should be more careful. ”

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, and his voice gradually lowered: "I have a hunch, but I am afraid that the second uncle will suddenly kill us, and it will have nothing to do with Xiao Yan." ”

"Then King Huai, what do you want to do? ”

Hearing Gu Yanling's inquiry, Xiao Yi's brows relaxed slightly, and then he said slowly: "Everything is ready in Fengxian, and when the second uncle goes to Liaodong and has no time to take care of Fengxian, it will be over by uprooting everything." ”

When Gu Yanling heard this, he understood, since he wanted to put a long line, there was no need to startle the snake at this time, just need to be paralyzed.

When Xiao Kang went to Liaodong, all the forces left Jingling, and Fengxian was bound to be the weakest time to guard against it, as long as he took advantage of this time to make everything daylight, and waited until Xiao Kang reacted, it would be too late.

Even if Xiao Kang has prestige in the army, who would dare to cling to a traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne?

I'm afraid that Xiao Kang won't be able to wait for the scenery to return to the dynasty, so he will be sent to Beijing and wait for the verdict to be announced.

"Therefore, returning to Liaodong this time is the best time to weaken Guo Shenzong's military power and have your second uncle and eldest brother stand out. ”

Gu Yanling raised his head slightly when he heard this, and saw Xiao Yi said: "Your second uncle and your eldest brother have already made a name for themselves in the previous war, although they are not as powerful as Guo Shenzong for many years, they are already rising stars in the eyes of others. ”

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, which has been an unchanged truth since ancient times.

What's more, Guo Shenzong's previous wave is a body of sewage, which has long been washed away, and any two of them are enough to kill.

And they only need to light a small fire to illuminate these filths in front of the world, even the Iron Coupon Danshu is afraid that they will not be able to save his life.

"Guo Shenyi is there—"

Hearing the question of the person in his arms, Xiao Yi took it in his arms and said softly: "Guo Shenyi heard that the quarry in Fengxian County was very profitable, so he thought about Fa'er's stuffing money into it and wanted to get a piece of the pie, and the second uncle didn't stop it when he knew about it, but he was afraid that he also had the mentality of pulling the Guo family in." ”

In Xiao Kang's mind, he thought that if something happened, he could threaten Guo to save his life, but he didn't know that acting like this was just a few more backs.

For Xiao Kang, Gu Yanling felt that he was only born to be suitable for the battlefield of sword fighting, and for a place like the court, where there were constant dark arrows, he was unable to deal with it at all.

Because if you want to win here, in addition to ruthlessness and murderous intentions, you also need a pair of long-term eyes, when others see the first step, if you can see three or four moves, and even see the chess path of others clearly, the winner has already been decided.

In the duel that King Huai thought was with them, they had seen his chess moves clearly, but he didn't see them clearly at all.
