148. [147] Old Love
Hongling continued to ask, "So, you already know my identity?" ”
"Probably." Although Mu Chen still had a lot of questions to solve, seeing that she seemed to be injured more seriously than expected, he put it aside for the time being, "You are injured, don't say too much about it, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when you are better, I will send you back first." ”
"Go back?" Hongling gently spit out two words.
"Yes, where do you live?"
Hongling smiled lightly: "I have no fixed place, I came to the ghost city to prevent Bai Yan from assassinating the prince on the order of the sect master, originally the sect leader has an order, try not to alarm the prince you, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you by such a coincidence, it seems that I am against the will of the sect leader." ”
Mu Chen said in her heart, this sect leader is really caring, in addition to sending people to protect her, she also told the people sent not to alarm her, it seems that this Cang Shen Sect is not a sect of evil demons, and even from her point of view, the Cang Shen Sect can be regarded as decent, but there are some people with evil thoughts who do bad things under the banner of the Cang Shen Sect.
Mu Chen's impression of the Cangying Divine Sect was immediately impressive, and his favor towards Hongling rose even further: "How can I blame you for this?" I found it myself, and you didn't tell me about it. ”
Hongling opened her lips slightly, and wanted to say something, but suddenly she felt a fishy stuffiness in her chest, blood and qi surged, and a burst of blood couldn't help but gush up her throat and overflow from the corners of her mouth.
"It seems that you are really injured a lot, anyway, you don't have a place to live, so it is better to go to my barracks to rest for a few days and take care of your body." Mu Chen didn't wait for Hongling to answer, so he helped her walk in the direction of the barracks.
Hongling was still weighing at first, is it appropriate to go to the prince's military camp for a temporary stay? If you disturb the prince, will the sect leader blame him?
But if you think about it carefully, you are really injured a lot, you have to find a place to live anyway, and the prince already knows his identity and mission, if he can be by the prince's side, it will be more convenient to protect the prince.
Back in the barracks, Gao Yuan had not yet returned, Gao Yi went to the granary to count the grain and grass, and Mu Chen ordered a few soldiers to set up an extra camp near their camp tents so that Hongling could recuperate.
It also takes time to set up camp, so Mu Chen asked Hongling to rest in his small bed first.
Hongling was really tired, so when she arrived at the barracks, she drank two sips of water, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
When Gao Yi came back, he opened the tent and walked in, and was about to greet Mu Chen: "Prince......"
Mu Chen immediately raised his index finger and motioned for him to whisper: "Shh, someone is resting in the back, be quiet." ”
The camp tent is not the palace hall, there is not much space, there is no luxury equipment, between the place to talk about business and the bed, there is only a tent curtain apart, Gao Yi is a man, and the normal voice is not too small, Mu Chen will of course worry that he will disturb Hongling, and Hongling has not been asleep for a long time.
As soon as Gao Yi heard that someone was resting, he observed through the curtain, and faintly saw a person lying on the bed, determined from the figure, it was a woman.
Gao Yi's expression immediately became confused, and Mu Chen knew at a glance that his thoughts had begun to be polluted again.
He deliberately lowered his voice, and Yin said with a smile: "No wonder the prince came back so early, and it turned out that he also brought a woman." So Wei Chen is so reckless, did he disturb the prince's enjoyment? Prince, are you done, or haven't you started? ”
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his clenched right fist, and slammed it in front of Gao Yi's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he was a few years older than herself, how could he be considered a brother, her punch would have gone down a long time ago.
Gao Yi sweated, but still grinned: "Don't fight, I don't want to be disfigured, don't say it, don't say it." ”
Only then did Mu Chen put down his fist: "How old are you, do you know that a woman's innocence is more important than her life?" In the future, stop talking nonsense. ”
Gao Yi coughed twice, and said seriously: "I know, I won't talk about this, I will say something else." That...... How's that woman's figure? Does it feel good? Isn't it? ”
I couldn't listen to it anymore, the more this guy talked about it, the more Mu Chen couldn't help it.
A fist slammed into the bridge of Gao Yi's nose, fortunately Gao Yi avoided it quickly, otherwise his pretentious handsome face would have been disfigured.
He knew that Mu Chen's punch was very serious.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go." Gao Yi raised his hands in surrender, in order to avoid another surprise attack by Mu Chen, his muscles were tense, his eyes did not dare to leave Mu Chen, his legs carefully and slowly moved towards the door, until the moment he went out of the door, he dared to relax physically and mentally.
But he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and when he got out of the tent, he had to stick his head out and add: "Enjoy it slowly, I'll keep watch outside, as long as you don't instruct me, I won't let anyone in, oh, no, mosquitoes won't let in." ”
After saying that, he was afraid of being beaten, and his head immediately shrank away.
Mu Chen, if she wasn't really afraid of disturbing Hongling, she would definitely bring Gao Yi back and beat her up.
Hongling slept for a short time, and when she woke up, it was already night, she slowly opened her eyes in a daze, and through the curtain, she vaguely saw Mu Chen's back.
Probably because Mu Chen was tired of reading the military book, he sat at the desk and fell asleep with one hand pressing the military book and holding his chin with the other, and the light in front of the table was still not extinguished.
Hongling got up, walked around the curtain, walked to Mu Chen's side, and saw that she was asleep, so she took a cloak and gently draped it for her.
Sleeping in this position is already difficult to fall asleep, and since leaving the palace, Mu Chen has become accustomed to light sleep in order to guard against sneak attacks, so as soon as Hongling put on her cloak, she woke up.
She smiled at Hongling: "Awake? ”
Hongling nodded: "Well, I seem to have slept for a long time." ”
"It's fine." Mu Chen dozed off unconsciously, at this time, he should have gone to sleep.
"Prince, go to bed and rest, I just woke up and want to go outside." Hongling had just woken up, and now she was very energetic, and it just so happened that she also wanted to familiarize herself with the environment in which the prince was located as soon as possible.
Mu Chen thought about it, Hongling was full, and it was his turn to sleep: "Okay, I have already ordered someone to set up a new camp tent for you, right next to here, if you don't know, just ask the soldiers, you can go in and rest directly after you finish shopping." Also, be careful. ”
"Okay, I'll be careful, thank you, prince."
Hongling got out of the camp, and Mu Chen climbed into bed and slept.
Gao Yuan had come back very late from the front-line army, and in order not to disturb the rest of the prince and Gao Yi, he planned to report on the situation and discuss the strategy tomorrow.
He was about to find something to eat, but on the way, he saw the back of a man dressed in red.
In the night, everything was covered by darkness, and all colors were robbed of the grace of the day, except for this red, the blood-like red was too strong, and it was still bright and eye-catching in the endless darkness.
Long hair cascading down to the waist like a waterfall, ghostly and charming.
Very familiar back, like an old man many years ago.
He remembered that she also liked red, always appeared in front of him in bright red, and then smiled enchantingly and called his name: "Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, when will you marry me?" ”
He couldn't help but take a few quick steps to catch up, and the closer he got, the more it felt like and the more familiar it felt.
Not only that figure, but also the charming fragrance emanating from her body is still the same as before.
His eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of moisture, and he couldn't help but spit out two words in a slightly trembling voice: "Hongling." ”
The woman's footsteps suddenly stopped.
This voice is both familiar and unfamiliar, once upon a time, she heard this voice calling her name almost every day, and she didn't get tired of hearing "Hongling" one by one.
But it's been three years, and it's been three years since I've heard this voice that smitten her all day.
It seems that he has slowly gotten used to it, but at this moment he heard this voice calling his name again, like a dream, still so good, so intoxicating.
It must be the dead of night and sudden auditory hallucinations, right?
Hongling's thoughts took a detour, and without looking back, she took her light steps again and continued to walk forward.
"Hongling." But another call was even more real.
Hongling stopped again and looked back slowly in disbelief.
Sure enough, it was him, she once decided that someone who was not a gentleman would not marry, Gao Yuan.
Hongling was still stunned, and Gao Yuan had already rushed forward at some point, hugging the woman he had been thinking about for many years.
The enthusiasm and longing that had been trapped in my heart for a long time came up in an instant.
"Hongling, I miss you very much, do you know, I really miss you......" Gao Yuan kept confiding in Hongling's ears the voice of the past three years, that kind of infinite longing, it seems that no matter how you say it, you can't say it all, that kind of inner feeling, it seems that you can't express it clearly.
He hugged her tightly, and a pair of big hands hugged her tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body, so that she could see her heart clearly.
Hongling was indifferent, did not respond, and did not resist, but was hugged by him, and was hugged by him a little painfully, only with such pain did she really feel that her him was finally back.
After a long time, Hongling's injured and weak body finally couldn't bear the more and more profound pain, and she couldn't help but snort.
Gao Yuan immediately recovered from his intoxication and let go of his hands.
He was pleasantly surprised: "Hongling, I finally see you again, why did you appear here?" ”
Hongling's face was bloodless and expressionless, adding a little chill to the dark night, and she said coldly: "I am now a member of the Cangshen God Sect, and I will appear here because I want to protect the crown prince." ”
"The Cult of the Underworld? Why did you become a member of the Cult of the Underworld? Why did the Cult of the Underworld protect the crown prince? All of a sudden, too many questions came to Gao Yuan's mind.
Three years ago, he had just been named a general by the emperor, and he had already chosen a date to marry Hongling, but he suddenly received a holy order to lead troops to the battle, so he had to postpone the marriage.
It's just that he didn't expect that when he returned from victory, Hongling had completely disappeared from his world.
He tried everything, but he couldn't find her.
