Forget Sheng was quiet for a while, looking at the jade pendant, the jade was glowing with a gentle and pure green, but on the phoenix's body, it was imperceptible red, looked up at him, and asked suspiciously: "Owe me?" ”

"I want to give you a birthday gift on your birthday, but you are not by my side", he kissed her on the cheek, "You said that on your birthday, we will definitely spend it together, but unfortunately, on that day, I waited in the cold palace for a day and a night, and I still didn't see you......"

Forget to move his fingers vividly, caressing the jade face reflecting the light, remembering the snowy night and the scene by the river, he lowered his head, "Spend the birthday together...... Did I make a promise with you in the past? ”

"Hmm," he said, staring at her smooth right side for a while, "Ugly, do you know, many times I just think that you are not the person I once knew. ”

"Do you like the person you used to be, or do you like the person you are now?" Wangsheng raised his face, his eyes shining with water.

Xi stopped all his movements overnight, withdrew his eyes, and lay down on the bed, looking up at the sky, some memories that he didn't want to recall drifted in his mind.

The hatred that once ate into the bones has now completely disappeared.

"It's not so much about liking ...... It's better to say ...... It's more about hating you. Xi Lianye closed his eyes and replied softly.

Su Wusheng put away the jade bracelet, put it in his arms, sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at his reflection in the lamplight, "I'm not Su Wangsheng......"

She raised her face, bit her lip as if she had made up her mind, and turned to Xi Lianye, who closed her eyes and slept softly, and said in a fixed voice: "Xi Lianye, in fact, I am ......"

"Bandits! The bandits have attacked the town! ”

A sharp call pierced through the starry sky of the night dance and reached Wangsheng's ears, and her body shook sharply, and she stood up and ran towards the window.

When I opened the window, the bonfire was still lit, and the woman ran towards the house, and the man ran back to the house with a hoe and a knife and a plow towards the entrance of the town.

Xi Lianye opened his eyes, stood up and hugged Wangsheng, kicked open the bamboo door, and whispered an order to the couple of newcomers who were outcropping in the house, "If you don't want to die, leave immediately!" ”

**********************************************

Su Wusheng looked up at Xi Lianye, his face was expressionless, he hugged her and walked out of the attic bamboo house at a fast speed, and took her to a few miles away with light skills.

"What's ...... back?"

Before they could say a word, there was a sudden loud bang in the place where they had stayed, and the whole room crackled and burned violently.

Her heart shook, and she covered her throbbing chest, "What's the loud bang just now?" ”

"It's gunpowder," said Nishi, putting her down and pulling her towards the place she had used before, "now you have to get out of here." ”

"Could it be that the patriarch wants to harm us, but we have no grievances with him, and there are still Spirit Clansmen ...... there" Speaking of this, she turned around suddenly, her eyes wide and fixed, "Only the two of us escaped, what about the others?" ”

"Don't worry about others uselessly", Xi Lianye's voice was very flat, still pulling her forward.

"Dead...... All burned to death...... "Wangsheng shook his lips, and his steps couldn't help but slow down, "These people are coming towards you and me?" ”

Because of them, have so many innocent people been implicated?

Xi Lian groaned all night, picked her up, walked to the door of their house, found their horses, jumped on them, pulled up the reins, and ran towards the gate of the town.

Sitting on a horse, looking towards the back of the town, he saw a large number of horseback thieves, holding large swords and weapons in their hands, and searching the pavilion house one by one, and the patriarch's house was already a sea of fire.

"The information is absolutely right, they must be here, whoever catches that woman with a large reward of silver will find them out if they turn this town upside down!"

Some people shouted, some people instigated, and many spirit people were arrested and tied to an ancient book in the sky, and several fierce and evil people with knives guarded them, and kept whipping them to inquire about their whereabouts.

Wangsheng grabbed the placket of Xilianye's clothes and blocked his right hand driving the horse, "We are gone, what will happen to these villagers?" ”

"Die."

"Save them," he said, turning back to the west for the night, "although I don't know why these people are looking for us, and I don't know their purpose, but because of us, we can't just leave." ”

Xi Lian took the reins overnight, "Why do you do these superfluous things." ”

"Superfluous! That's human life! Forget Sheng replied angrily, and glanced at him indignantly, "Please also ask the emperor to occasionally be some examples of loving the people, these people are ordinary people, how can they be so mermaids?" ”

He chuckled and turned his horse's head in the direction of the bandits.

As soon as the sound of the horse sounded, the dozens of thieves up and down were vicious, and when they saw Xi Lianye and Su Wusheng, they hurriedly lifted the scroll in their hands, handed over the person who was the leader, and roared excitedly, "It's them, boss, it's them, let's send it!" ”

The bandit leader stared at Wangsheng, pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This girl is much more beautiful than the painting, and it is not too late to let the brothers be happy and happy before sending them over." ”

Su Wusheng's face sank, and he shouted at the people on the horses opposite, "We have no grievances and no hatred, what is the purpose of you indiscriminately hurting innocents like this?" ”

The leader glanced at the picture scroll and snorted coldly, "No grievances and no hatred, you are so valuable, who in the world is not red-eyed, brothers, give it to me, catch the woman, don't kill the man!" ”

Wangsheng stared at the scroll in his hand, "Since you want to arrest me, let these townspeople go, and have nothing to do with them." ”

"Hah! I didn't expect this beauty to be compassionate and heartfelt! It's easier to do, if I want to let them go, you can come by yourself! ”

She shrunk her shoulders, and Xi held her shoulders overnight, and sighed, "You always get into trouble." ”

Wangsheng turned his face sideways, "I've always been very safe by your side, I don't know who wants to arrest me." ”

Xi Lian Yeying dismounted, picked up an old sword blade that fell from the ground, fixed it, his body moved, and the straight sword stabbed towards the person who was the leader, no one could see how he got to that person, nor how Xi Lian Ye made a move.

I felt a cold wind whistling in my ears, and a terrible cry pierced everyone's eardrums.

The painting in the leader's hand slowly fell to Xi Lianye's hand, and the sword was pierced through the throat in the neck, and the blood did not flow, and it fell to the ground with a thud, becoming a dead body.

Su Wusheng couldn't help but shudder, a cold breath came straight to the soles of his feet, Xi Lian Ye or Xi Lian Ye, killing with a smile, one move was fatal, and he didn't blink.

He shook the paper in his hand, threw it on the ground, shook his head and said: "How can the person in this painting be as beautiful as my little ugly, and if you paint her like this, won't you be punished?" ”

Xi Lianye glanced at the dozens of pale centaurs, smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and raised his fingers.

"Wait! Don't kill the West overnight! ”

Su Wangsheng saw Xi Lianye's movements, and suddenly understood what would happen in the next second, and opened his mouth to shout to stop it, but the words had not completely fallen into the ears of the crowd, and in an instant, the people on the horses fell down one after another, with big eyes open, and fell down without a god.

Even the horses and the people are all destroyed.

The moves are ruthless, and no one can stop them.

At this moment, the absolute and murderous intent exuded from Xi Lianye's body made people tremble and fear, she half-opened her mouth, closed her trembling lips, her throat became dry, and she couldn't say a word.

He looked back at the tyed up townsfolk and threw a sharp blade at them, who had no one to pick them up, just looked at them with fear in their eyes.

Seeing this, Su Wusheng jumped off his horse and picked up an axe, ran to their side to cut the rope, and whispered to them: "It's okay, these bandits won't hurt you anymore." ”

As soon as the townsfolk loosened their ties, they ran away and surrounded them in the middle, and shouted at them with great excitement, forgetting that they could not understand him, but retreated to Xilianye's side, and helplessly pulled at his clothes.

"Get out!"

Stiff Chinese mixed with incomprehensible roars, they grabbed their weapons and threw the short logs placed next to the campfire, "Get out!" Get out! Get out of the ancient town! ”

She stood in the crowd, looking at the fierce and vicious people with hideous faces, among them, Ah Cha was throwing herself with resentment and crying, "Why ......"

The tall figure blocked in front of her, Xi Lian blocked all attacks for her overnight, stared at a man who could speak Chinese, and said coldly: "Tell them that we will leave, but if anyone dares to hurt my woman again, I will let him die!" ”

After saying that, he immediately picked up the somewhat sluggish woman and got on the horse, drove the horse out of the town in silence, and quickly disappeared from the field of vision of these people with a galloping speed.

It took a long time to raise my face, "I just feel guilty...... I want to save them......"

Xi Lianye's eyelids drooped, "Ugly, you have to remember that even if you kill to wait, in the eyes of others, it is still an unforgivable sin." ”

He smiled, "It's better to leave at the beginning, it's all because of the ugly and unobedient, isn't it?" ”

Su Wangsheng didn't say a word, closed his eyes and exhaled faintly, leaning back on Xi Lianye's broad chest.

Xi Lian slowed down the speed of his horse overnight, loosened the reins, and ran his hand through her waist, "What's the matter, are you still afraid?" ”

Wangsheng opened his eyes, grabbed one of Xi Lianye's hands and raised it, looked at his pure and white hand, and stroked the clear lines of his palm, "Xi Lianye, how many people's blood have been stained with these hands?" ”

"How many people ......," he stared at her side, "haven't counted, and don't bother to count." ”

Her palms tightened, and the strength of holding his palms weighed a little, "Life is not an ant, maybe it doesn't matter to you, but life is something worth cherishing for everyone, in the future, don't do it again, okay?" ”

"When I was eight years old, I killed the first person", Xi Lianye smiled slightly, "It was a woman, she shed a lot of blood, and she was very embarrassed, so she thought of various ways to stop the dead from bleeding." ”

"The feeling of blood leaking out of your body makes you feel terrified, doesn't it?"

"No, it's just a little fishy, and I hate the smell of blood."

Su Wangsheng opened his lips in surprise, let go of his palm, and lowered his arms weakly, no longer answering.

He saw her still trembling body and firmly held her shoulder, "Don't be afraid of me, ugly, I won't hurt you, I will only protect you, understand?" ”

Wangsheng shook her head, turned her face, raised her head, and found that Xi Lianye was staring at herself deeply, and there was some panic in her eyes that was difficult to dodge, and her heart was shocked, and she looked at him quietly.

Xi Lianye, who was unblinking and afraid of killing, was panicked in his eyes because of his words.

She fluttered her eyelashes, "Xilian Night, do you have anything to be afraid of?" ”

"Yes", he lowered his thick and thick eyelashes, "you, I'm afraid you'll leave me." ”

Su Wangsheng's heart lake was thrown on a boulder, and it was difficult to calm down after rolling for a long time, "I'm sorry ......"

She leaned on his shoulder, "I'm no longer willful. ”

Xi Lian retracted his eyes overnight and rode his horse in the direction of Yanjing, "Go back to Beijing." ”

*******************************************

The ancient town was attacked by bandits, and the first person Su Wusheng thought of was Su Qianfu, and he also guessed that this picture scroll must have something to do with the disappeared Su Qianfu, and when the two discussed this matter later, Xi Lianye just nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you." ”

After passing through the ancient town, Xi Lian worked hard overnight, and finally arrived at the post station near Yanjing.

He dismounted and took Wangsheng into the post station, and walked to the resting house, there was already a person waiting in front of the door, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are finally back, the slave is worried about you, and the slave has been waiting for the emperor here!" The Emperor ......"

"Let's get up", Xi Lian entered the house overnight, Ye Gonggong hurriedly got up and followed him to the house, and when he saw the person following behind him, he stared at it for a long time, and stammered: "This is ...... It's ......"

Shen Yun is a little similar to the ugly concubine, but this beautiful face is like a fairy...... How can it be an ugly concubine?

Su Wangsheng's buttocks hit the stool, her sore waist made her frown, Xi Lianye glanced at her, and ordered: "Ugly, you go to the couch and rest." ”

When Gonggong Ye heard this, he hurriedly threw himself on the ground, "Welcome the ugly concubine Niangniang back, and the slave will kowtow to Niangniang!" The slave gods are protected, resurrected in the fire, and the emperor has to find it, good news, good news! ”

After a day and a night, she didn't even have the strength to smile, but said to the west all night: "I'm too tired, go and rest." ”

"Go ahead", Xi Lianye gently brushed her sideburns, "call you at dinner." ”

Forgetting his life and being pardoned, he went to the bed in the inner room and lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

******************************************

As soon as Su Wusheng left, only Xi Lianye and Ye Gonggong were left in the house, and Ye Gonggong knelt on the ground and couldn't stand for a long time, "Your Majesty, the servants always look forward to you coming back, and now, Yan ...... Frequency is in danger......"

"What's the situation?"

"Wei ester united with Qi Hu and the neighboring scattered tribes to attack Yan, Feng Yan, Daxuan also sent troops to garrison the position of twenty miles away from the country, now Yanjing is no longer in the palace because the emperor is no longer in the palace for many days, the queen mother is in charge, it is difficult to revitalize the dynasty, those remnants of the former prince Wei Wang took the opportunity to play, and made a lot of nonsense to disturb the dynasty and threatened to destroy the country. Now the people in the palace are panicking, and no one is willing to come forward to offer a strategy against the enemy, the queen mother ordered the servants to be here at any time, just looking forward to the emperor's return as soon as possible! ”

Wei Ji is a small country with a weak army, but it unites the country of Qihu, and the leader of Qihu is insidious and cunning, which should not be underestimated; Feng Yan and Daxuan are both big countries, these two countries are strong, and Yan is on a par, it is difficult to distinguish between them, so that the four countries are attacked, ready to move, and Yanjing is in danger.

"Don't worry", Xi Lianye clasped his fingers, his eyes were not shocked, "Don't disclose the matter of my return to Beijing to anyone, including the queen mother." ”

"Your Majesty, why is this, the situation is critical, and it is urgent to ......"

"Three days later, I will return to the Yan Palace."

Xi Lian retracted his fingers and smiled confidently at the corners of his mouth.

"I have said that the destruction of the kingdom and the death of the king will not happen to me."

**********************************************************

When Su Wusheng opened his eyes, it was already dark.

She got up from the bed, saw the green and green cigarette shirt and the shade of the mist green pleated skirt at the head of the bed, put on the curtain and went out of the room, and saw that Xi Lian had also changed into a gorgeous brocade dress and sat at the table, drinking fragrant wine one after another, and the room was wafting with the faint aroma of wine with the summer breeze.

Hearing this, he raised his head, and Xi didn't put his wine glass down all night, but paused and said to her: "Ugly, sit next to me." ”

Wangsheng sat down beside him, grabbed his hand, took the wine glass and put it on the table, "Your injuries have not fully healed, so you can't drink so freely." ”

He chuckled and reached for her hug, "Okay, listen to you." ”

The night wind blew into the house, and Wangsheng leaned on him and asked, "Aren't we going back to the palace?" ”

"Do you want to go back to the palace?"

Forget Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, I'd rather never go back if I could." ”

She raised her head and stared at Xilianye's glowing side, "You are the king of a country, I know it's impossible." Pursed his lips and chuckled, "People say that marrying a chicken is a chicken, marrying a dog is a dog, who asked me to marry you." ”

Xi Lian kept his arms around her all night, and said, "Okay, then we won't go back." ”

As he spoke, he stopped for a while, there was an incomprehensible look between his eyebrows, his fingers unconsciously raised the transparent jade cup again, forgot his life, and snatched the wine glass back, "Didn't you say listen to me, why did you regret it again?" ”

Xi stopped for a long time overnight, but just nodded, a little absent-minded.

"What's wrong?"

Su Wusheng looked at the frowning brow, stroked him with his fingers to smooth out the folds, and faced him with a worried face, "What are you waiting for?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden movement in front of the window, and a black shadow flashed into the room, covering the blood stains on his chest, panting and kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty...... The minions are incompetent and fail to do what you command. Please give the emperor death! "According to the emperor's rules over the years, if you fail to complete your order, you will be given death, and you don't dare to question it.

Wangsheng's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at the west all night with a puzzled face.

Xi Lianye lowered his eyebrows and glanced at him, put down his forgetfulness, moved to the table, listened to the window for a while, and said lightly: "If you are not dead, you are successful, go down." ”

"Your Majesty?" The person kneeling on the ground raised his head incredulously, "But the emperor wants the slave to invite the person......"

"Go down, prepare good wine and food, your guests are coming."

As soon as the words fell, another dark shadow flashed in front of the half-open window, and a gray-clothed man was standing, with a resolute face and a very cold expression, pointing at the person kneeling on the ground with a sword, threatening with a calm face, "Who is it in the night to visit my military camp!" ”

Xi Lian looked at the person who came overnight, sat down at the table, looked at the person from the corner of his eye, and waved his hand.

The kneeling man stood up, covered his chest and said to the gray-clothed man, "My master is invited." ”

The gray-clothed man looked at the person sitting at the table, just sitting like that was the momentum of the world, and thinking of the recent rumor of the disappearance of the Yan monarch, his eyebrows moved, he withdrew his sword, and bowed lightly, "Attacking my main tent at night, Yan is a loss of hospitality." ”

Xi didn't say a word all night, and ordered Wangsheng to bring a pen and paper, write a few words, and push it to the table, "I wanted to invite your master to come and reminisce about the past, but I didn't invite the deity, so I handed him this letter." ”

Seeing that there was no ambush in the west all night, and there was no hostility, the man in gray picked up the letter and put it in his arms, glanced at it, and flew out of the window.

Forgetful was dumbfounded, looked at Xi Lianye, pointed to the open window, and then pointed to the blood stains on the ground, "What's the matter." Who is that man? ”

Xi let go of her overnight and patted her on the shoulder, "Ah Ugly obediently waits in the inner room, and the party will be ready for dinner." ”

The door was pushed open, a plate of delicacies and jade food was placed on the table, and a fragrant wine was put on it. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wangsheng, and Wangsheng obediently raised his steps to the inner room, with a lot of confusion in his heart, and he could only swallow it in his stomach at this moment.

Although Xi Lian Ye didn't have too much expression on his face, just as usual plain, she could faintly feel that he was doing something extremely important, and that this matter was also dangerous.

The room was very quiet, and suddenly, from the verandah outside the house, came the sound of slow, clear footsteps, and under such quiet wakefulness, the footsteps were so slow that people could hear the graceful posture of people.

There was a creak and the door was pushed open.

A clear and cold voice sounded in an extremely tempting voice, "I Dao, who dares to use such a method to greet this king, it turns out to be the Yan monarch." ”

"It's just that the night is quiet, and I invite the prince of Lian to come to enjoy the moon and drink a glass of sake." Xi Lianye's voice was still very flat, but it was a little more oppressive out of thin air.

The footsteps sounded again, the clothes were sluggling, and the man sat on the chair, "Your Majesty, this is the first salute and then the soldiers, and I am just tired of these, otherwise, I will definitely not come." ”

"That thing, will I destroy it, retreat, or not?"

Xi Lian drank a glass of wine overnight, squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of confidence.

Forget Sheng hid behind the bead curtain, and heard that it was beginning to be quiet outside, so he quietly poked his head to look at the person, only to see that the person was dressed in an ice-blue fine silk, with dark cloud sleeves, long black hair sliding down his waist like flowing water, and a pale veil covering his face.

A chuckle overflowed, clear and ethereal, forgetting that I only wanted to see the face behind the scarf.

"Monarch Su Wenyan is cruel and murderous, should this king thank you for your amnesty?" The man glanced at the ink on the trickle paper on the table, and turned slightly sideways, "This king has always been afraid to be interested in these troublesome things. ”
