That night, the moon was mutilated and decayed, like a broken tooth spitting out of a broken mouth, glowing a hideous reddish in the night sky, as if there was still unwiped blood foam on it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The faint sound of fighting came from the halfway up the mountain, mixed with one or two terrible screams, like a cry from hell, and Yun Yang shivered when he heard it.

She couldn't help but wonder, "How painful does this have to be to make such a sound?" ”

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, especially after the shouting had been going on for two hours.

Much like the last time, in the carriage late at night, Yunyang waited lonely and frightened. The only difference is that there are now three layers of protection outside the car.

Yoonyang's eyes flickered in the darkness, and his mind was chaotic and difficult to help himself.

Zhao Yuan's expression was very relaxed when he left. He lifted the curtain and said goodbye to Yunyang with a smile on his face.

"I'll be back soon, there are many people here to protect you, you just have to wait in peace."

Yun Yang saw that he was wearing a long dress, and his simple and humble outfit was completely different from his usual sharp appearance, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart for a while.

She raised her hand to straighten the bone hairpin on his head, and said softly: "Does the emperor want to negotiate with those people?" Those people are reasonable, if those people are messing around, the emperor will let me go. ”

"As the only descendant of the Song family, no matter how much they want to get the treasure, I'm afraid they won't be able to bypass me."

Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed in the darkness, like ripples in a secluded pool. He pinched Yunyang's fingertips and whispered, "Okay." ”

Lowering the car curtain, Zhao Yuan said to the left and right: "Let's go!" ”

Yunyang lifted the curtain on the car window, and in the night, Zhao Yuan and his entourage were all wearing Taoist clothes, and they didn't seem to be carrying weapons. They also used an iron cage cart to imprison the white lion tiger beast in the middle, and marched mightily up the mountain.

……

"Ahem, ahem......"

A somewhat rapid cough came through the car window, interrupting Yoon-yang's memories.

"Brother Li, are you okay?" A young voice asked.

"Shhhh An old voice came.

"Uh...... After all this time, the county lord must have fallen asleep too. I've got a noosk here, and you can take one first. ”

"It doesn't work. This is with the emperor Pingxiang King rebellion, was hit by the enemy hammer to the back of the heart of the problem, when the weather is cold, what medicine does not work. It's just that...... Tonight thanks to Wang Baihu. ”

"How?"

"I was supposed to go up the mountain tonight, but he knew that I had another asthma, so he temporarily changed the guard with me. Listening to the fight on the mountain for so long, you can know how fierce the opponent is...... If he misses, he also has a young son under the age of one...... It's my sin. ”

"Alas, Brother Li, you think too much, it is the duty of our military attachés to go into battle to kill the enemy. Besides, how many times have you saved us over the years, and now that you are old, I should help you a little. ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... The situation tonight is also too unusual, how can it take so long to destroy the people on the mountain with our strength? ”

"The emperor's order is to strangle all the people on the mountain. These people are all top masters sent by the various pillar countries, and they must do their best at the end of the road, which is why it is so difficult to fight today......"

A whimpering night breeze blew, and the conversation outside came to an abrupt end.

Yunyang was blown by the cool breeze that came through the crack in the curtain of the car, and his body became even colder.

Her fingers slid over the sleeves of her shirt full of embroidered flowers, and the gold and silver threads made a soft sound of "yarn" between them: "I used to wonder why the emperor did something dangerous. Now think about it, with his status and situation, where is it not dangerous? ”

"He was originally from a humble background, and now he can sit on the dragon chair, and I don't know how many bloody storms and life and death trials he has experienced during this period. So, I thought that the dangerous situation might just be ordinary for him. ”

"This time, several major pillar countries came to look for treasure, and they actually used fierce beasts and elite troops to sneak into the vicinity of Luoyang. If it weren't for the emperor's efforts to save me, he went to the ruined temple and met the villains, and then experienced some twists and turns, he might never have found out about it. ”

"It would be a great shame for any emperor that the elite troops of the neighboring countries appeared near the capital, at the gate of the palace, and the people in the palace knew nothing. What's more, Zhao Yuan, who is so conceited? ”

"Even if there is no such thing as looking for treasure today, the emperor will definitely kill these people. Kill a hundred and knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, only in this way can the several pillars of the country die and will not make such a decision. ”

"Ugh." Yun Yang sighed in his heart, "It's just that this matter can't be done blatantly, and the army can't be mobilized, so it can only be done by the Royal Forest Army." However, the Imperial Guards were limited in number, and the battle must have been very difficult. ”

While he was thinking wildly, Yunyang heard a noisy sound coming from outside the car. The curtain of the car was lifted suddenly, and Zhao Yuan appeared in front of him.

The smile on his lips was exactly the same as when he left, as if he had just gone for a walk on the mountain, and his expression was relaxed and comfortable. Although there was a strong smell of blood wafting from his clothes.

When Yunyang saw Zhao Yuan's expression, he knew that he couldn't ask more, so he also greeted him with a smile and said, "The emperor is back, things have been arranged, right?" ”

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I have to make a trip to the mountain...... There had just been a clash on the mountain, and the scene was ugly. If you are afraid, hide behind me and do not look. ”

Yunyang nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by the emperor." ”

After getting out of the car, Yunyang found that there were already two Royal Forest Soldiers waiting with a simple step. Yun Yang's heart moved: "At such a dangerous time, the emperor still wants to prepare a step for me." ”

"He's always like that, no matter how serious the big things are, but he is not sloppy in the small things at all. It can be seen that he was able to win the battle for the crown prince in the later years of the first emperor and become the emperor of Xiaoya, not only by the courage of the horseman, but also by the army. ”

Yun Yang stepped up, and Zhao Yuan naturally walked beside him.

At this time, the sound of the battle that had lasted for a long time was no longer audible, and it seemed that the Imperial Forest Army had taken control of the situation. It's just that it took so long to achieve such a result, and the tragedy in the meantime can be imagined.

The smell of blood on Zhao Yuan's body wafted over for a while, and when Yun Yang smelled it, it seemed to be getting thicker and stronger.

"Is he hurt? Isn't there a soft armor amulet? The more Yunyang thought about it, the more worried he became, but the emperor didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask clearly, so he had to pull his sleeve and want to hold his hand.

Zhao Yuan sensed that Yunyang wanted to take his hand, so he switched the matching knife to the other side and freed up the hand that was close to her. Before handing it to her, Zhao Yuan also wiped his hand on the placket of his clothes a few times and wiped the bloodstains.

Thinking that Yunyang was scared of walking at night, Zhao Yuan wanted to wrap around her cold fingertips and give her warmth. Unexpectedly, Yunyang didn't give him this chance, but put his palms together, put his hand in the center, and then put it on his chest.

Her hands were soft and small, and her fingertips were still cold, the same feeling as the jade Ruyi that was often placed on Zhao Yuanyu's desk when it slid across her palm.

Although she put her hands together, it only covered half of Zhao Yuan's palms...... But Zhao Yuan understands her intentions.

Holding Zhao Yuan's hand and putting it on his chest, knowing that he was okay - this feeling made Yun Yang feel an indescribable peace of mind.

Zhao Yuan stared at the deep and rugged mountain road ahead, so he let her hold her hands and walked silently.
