Although the beauty is in the arms...... Well, I was in the arms of a beauty, and I didn't completely fall asleep, for fear that I wouldn't see her when I woke up, and I suspected that this was just an illusion caused by my longing and twilight; Therefore, when the change was about to happen, I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Jiang Zhuo, do you feel ...... Too quiet outside? Tugging at the corner of her clothes, I turned sideways and changed to lie on my back, but I still didn't want to leave her legs - I stayed a little longer, and I don't know if I have a chance later!

"Well, although this is not the Great Road, it is too quiet......" she frowned and patted me on the shoulder, "Your Highness, you get up first." ”

"Don't...... Well, this king is still a little dizzy, yes, dizzy...... "I see that she has the intention of going out to investigate, I don't want her to risk herself, her brain is hot, she is simply a scoundrel to the end, and she refuses to let go as soon as she hugs her, "You don't go anywhere, just stay in the carriage......"

Before I could finish speaking, I heard a sudden shout from outside the carriage: "Who is it? Protect Your Highness! ”

The captain of the guard assigned by Yan Ke eagerly knocked on the wall of the car, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Qiqi, our team is surrounded by a group of masked black-clothed people, and the other party is equal in number to us, so it is not suitable to fight for a long time; The subordinates will arrange some people to cover His Highness's breakthrough, please take care of yourself. ”

"What? Breakthrough? "I was stunned for a moment, and it took me a moment to realize that the party had encountered an unknown ambush - according to the captain's words, he actually wanted to drag the enemy to my palace, so that I could be taught to flee first?

Hearing her say this, Jiang Zhuo's face was straight, but he was not in a hurry to go out.

I saw her carefully lift the curtain of the car, glance at the shape outside, then knocked on the wall of the car, and shouted to the guard who was driving: "Go immediately!" ”

As the wheels rolled rapidly, I heard the shouts of soldiers outside the carriage filling the land, and occasionally the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh and muffled, suppressed cries of pain, both from my guards and from the men in black.

Shrinking into Jiang Zhuo's arms, I carefully identified every sound that made people's scalps tingle, and wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going on, but I didn't dare to move timidly, struggling and hesitating in my heart, and at the same time spitting on my own powerlessness.

Needless to say, the purpose of this group of men in black is naturally me, and the guards who are fighting bravely outside are tasked with protecting me; In fact, they didn't have to.

Just hand me over.

I can change so many people by myself, it's a good deal, isn't it?

But it's one thing to know in my heart, if I really want to do this, I'm still timid.

Regardless of whether the current King Ling is the infamous Kuang Xihan, or Jian Xin, who once upheld the bottom line of principles, I will not stand up stupidly, stop everyone from stopping, and then let the other party slaughter ...... I won't.

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

With apologies and guilt, I acquiesced to the arrangement of Jiang Zhuo and the captain of the guards, and half of the guards desperately fought to make a gap, and fled in a carriage.

The carriage was very bumpy, very different from the smooth driving before, and I crashed into Jiang Zhuo's arms from time to time, but I no longer had the original charming thoughts.

After about half an hour of galloping, I felt a churn in my stomach and my head began to feel dizzy.

At this time, the speed of the carriage finally slowed down, and a strange female voice shouted through the carriage: "Your Highness, it is about to rain!" ”

――It's really a leak that happened to rain overnight.

Before her words fell, as if to respond to her, there was a loud "boom", and the earth-shattering thunder startled the horses pulling the cart and almost overturned.

If it weren't for Jiang Zhuo's quick hand to hold me, I was afraid that my head would have a close contact with the hard car wall, and I didn't care about thanking her, so I lifted the curtain, pulled my throat and said to the temporarily leading guard: "Is there a place to shelter from the rain near here?" ”

The road was slippery in the rain, and we were ambushed, so it was imperative to find a safe place to rest and make plans.

Fortunately, the guard nodded, pointed in a certain direction and said, "The guards who explored the path found a ruined temple three miles away, and they could barely rest after cleaning up." ”

-- It turned out to be a ruined temple with a 99 percent chance of an accident.

A joking thought suddenly crossed my mind, and I was forced to do so, and I was not in the mood to joke, but 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 a few words of encouragement to the guard, I lowered the curtain and looked solemn.

"Your Highness is worried?" Jiang Zhuo asked lightly, his face was as calm as usual, and he relaxed a little with him.

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

"Hmm." She replied softly, almost in a breathy voice, but I could hear it clearly, as if she had engraved it directly into my heart—and I would not ignore the fact that her eyes and cheeks were flushed so quickly after answering.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, I would have liked to kiss her face, even if it was a slap.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I could already feel the rain stars drifting into the curtain and the chill that could not be concealed; Finally, in the midst of the rain, our group rushed to the only shelter nearby, the ruined temple that was already decorated and beautified.

After much difficulty, the guards had taken advantage of the dry grass and the old curtains of the temple to start a fire, while I sat upwind closest to the fire in a huddle, and watched in silence as the guards took off their soaked coats, shoes and socks and wrung them out—with the intention of telling them all to be closer to the fire, and swallowed them back.

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

No matter how long it has been, I have never been able to adapt to the heroism of the Dawu woman.

And-I quietly glanced at Jiang Zhuo, who was concentrating on cooking something on the fire, and when I saw that she seemed to be aware of it, I immediately lowered my head and pretended to stir up the fire, and my heart was beating unstoppable--I had already decided in my heart that I was in love with Jiang Zhuo, so I felt that I should keep my distance from everyone, not to say that I was staring at other people's clothes, but I should not look at them more...... This consciousness treats Jiang Zhuo equally, regardless of men and women.

The hot water boiled, and the "goo-goo-goo" bubbled, and there were some dried mushrooms that had been foamed in it, all of which Yan Ke specially prepared for me when I traveled; It's just that most of the luggage is in another carriage, and there is only a little food left.

I took the wooden bowl that Jiang Zhuo handed me, and tasted it slightly, although it was not as good as the exquisite craftsmanship of the imperial chef, it was very wild and delicious, and the hot soup flowed from my throat to my stomach, and my whole body warmed up.

Holding the wooden bowl and covering my hands, I sipped the hot soup and counted the number of people—there were about a hundred or so guards who followed the carriage when I came out, and after the breakthrough just now, plus the scouts who went out to explore the way and the single rider who reported the news, there were only more than thirty people left in this small and ruined temple; More than half of them had wounds of different kinds, and even the aroma of food could not hide the smell of blood that permeated the wounds.

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

The torrential rain continued, the sky was almost dark, and the warm firelight illuminated the resolute faces of the guards with a faint color of fatigue, and the guilt in my heart became a little heavier.

After a simple wash, I lay on the thick bedding that Jiang Zhuo laid for me, curled up and closed my eyes, but I couldn't fall asleep; It's not that it's too hard, it's not that it's too cold, it's just that my heart can't be calmed - every time I close my eyes, I see the guards lying in a pool of blood, those young and unwilling eyes, as if they have been staring at me all the time.

The firelight became fainter again, and I couldn't help but move towards the heat source, but an arm suddenly crossed my waist and pulled me in the opposite direction, and Jiang Zhuo's indifferent and nervous whisper sounded in my ears: "Be careful!" ”

I was so frightened that I immediately opened my eyes, and I saw her lying on my side with a cold face, one hand around my waist, the other hand on my ear, almost pressing me under me; My heartbeat stopped suddenly, and I quickly turned my head away from her direct gaze, only to see that the fire was less than an arm's length away, and if she hadn't grabbed me in time, I was afraid that my face would have been licked by the tongue of fire by now.

In addition to being afraid, I didn't care about being shy, so I quickly rubbed in her direction again, and simply shrunk into her arms—I only felt that she was stiff at first, and then sighed helplessly, and resigned myself to letting me use her as a pillow to keep warm.

With Jiang Zhuo by his side, he slept very sweetly when he was at peace.

If it weren't for the interlude of the rain, the other movements would have been very obvious, and the body holding me suddenly tensed, I would not have woken up suddenly.

After the clouds disappeared and the rain disappeared, the night sky was as clear as a mirror, and the cold moonlight covered this dilapidated small temple with a thin veil, which also added a bit of romance; But in this way, the poet also sighed a lot of quiet and beautiful nights, and some people still ruthlessly sabotage.

The group of people led by the captain of the guard never caught up, and they were probably more than lucky; The temple was broken and a group of black-clothed men surrounded me, and I was not so frightened than I had panicked earlier, and I had the leisure to observe and look at it.

These black-clothed men are wearing the most common coarse cloth short beats, which are clean and easy to move, and the weapons they use are also the most ordinary private ritual knives, even the ordinary rivers and lakes are also equipped with more than one point-the blade of the ritual knife is not an ordinary oval, slightly slender and flat.

And I distinctly remember that when I was surrounded for the first time, I saw at a glance that the knives in the hands of the black-clothed men were round without edges and corners.

Could it be that these two groups of men in black ...... Isn't it the same force?

It seems that there are a lot of people who want Kuang Xihan to die.
