Chapter 17: The Hidden Star (8)

Jing Yi seemed to feel a shadow pass in front of her.

"Got it." Lu Qi said,

Lu Qi didn't speak again.

Tao Xiang's powerful arms encircled Jing Yi's body. Jingyi looked up at him. His deep eyes were still looking behind her under the brim of his hat. Sensing that she was looking at him, he withdrew his arm, but did not say anything to ask her.

Jingyi heard Tu Huyi whisper: "Seven Shao, it's done." Da"

Jingyi's glasses were no longer on the bridge of her nose, and her eyes were blurry. She thought it was because she had lost her glasses, but when Tao Xiang bent down to pick up Jingyi's glasses and put them on her, her eyes were still blurry, and she realized that her eyes were full of tears...... She clenched her hands tightly. His nails dug into his flesh, and his back sweated in pain, so he held back his tears. She was still thinking about her aunt and grandmother in her heart, she didn't know what was going on with them, and she wanted to say something to Tao Xiang, but she felt her teeth chattering, staring at him, and she couldn't say a word.

Tao Xiao looked at Jingyi intently and ordered, "Pony, move your aunt to a safe place." Let the bomb be defused. He"

He took her hand and pulled her out of the door, leaving the room that smelled of blood, walking and walking, his feet already weak. Tao Xiang held her up.

Jingyi subconsciously struggled.

Tao Xiang looked at her, but didn't let go.

He waited there, looked her in the eye, and said, "It's all over, don't be afraid." ”

"Miss!" Qiu Wei ran over. Compared to Jingyi, she is much calmer. Seeing that Jingyi's face was snow-white, and there was a large red and swollen piece on her forehead. The handkerchief in her hand pressed lightly, "Miss, where else is it hurt...... Miss? ”

Jingyi pulled her hand down and shook her head.

Tao Xiang said: "Qiu Wei, accompany your young lady to rest." I went over to see my aunt. ”

Qiu Wei saw that people were coming and going, it was very noisy, and she couldn't wait to leave the place with Jingyi, so she wanted to urge Jingyi to leave.

"Old Seven, Jingyi!" Mrs. Tao is here.

Jingyi didn't want to see Mrs. Tao here, so she was stunned and forgot that Tao Xiang was still holding her hand. Tao Xiao didn't let go, smiled at Mrs. Tao, and said, "Let you come up later." It's still a bit messy inside. ”

"Where can I wait?" Mrs. Tao walked quickly to the front, also helped Jingyi, and looked up and down. When Mrs. Tao spoke, Jingyi looked at her and nodded. But she didn't hear what Mrs. Tao was talking about. She was a little dazed.

Mrs. Tao called the doctor.

Jingyi covered her forehead, shook her head and said to the doctor, "It's okay, it's just a knock." ”

The doctor still asked her a few questions, just to see if her stress response was normal and whether she had a concussion in addition to the trauma.

Her reply was a little stiff, as if she was impatient. Waiting for the doctor to leave, Mrs. Tao looked at the silent Tao Xiang, pulled Jingyi aside, looked at her, and said, "Good boy, let Lao Qi send you away." I stayed to watch my aunt's. Obedient...... Obedient to go first. You're like this, and I'll have to take care of you while you stay. ”

Jingyi nodded.

Between nods, his forehead hurts again. It made her sober up. She watched Mrs. Tao leave and Qiu Wei, who was guarding her side, her face full of worry.

After this shootout, the hospital is *** uneasy. Tao Xiang brought a lot of people, and he was cooperating with the doctor to settle down the order. There is also an atmosphere of terror on this floor.

Jingyi took two steps, and when she looked back, she saw Tao Xiang walking over and carrying out of the ward on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth. She hurriedly turned her face away......

Tao Xiang makes people stand.

After a pause, he said, "Settle down first." ”

"Yes." Ma Xingjian waved his hand.

Tao Xiang felt something, and when he turned around to look, Jingyi was no longer on the porch.

He paused for a moment, waited for the doctors and nurses to arrive, and after transferring Tainze to the other wards, he walked into the room. After such a test of life and death, they were very calm. He looked at the blood stains and glass shards on the ground...... "Old Seven? When Mrs. Tao came back, she saw him here alone, and hurriedly spoke.

Tao Xiang turned around and said, "Mother, I'm frightened. ”

Mrs. Tao came over, looked at her son by the light, and said, "It's a little bit, it's not a big deal." You, on the other hand, really worry me. ”

Tao Xiang smiled at her.

"I don't care about the outside world, and I have to say something to you today. You're too risky to do that. How much of a loss does a slight difference in the pool? It's not that you don't know his temperament, and besides, the bereaved dog doesn't care about anything when he's in a hurry, how can you ......" Mrs. Tao said, a little angry. "Could it be that at this time, what are you still thinking about?"

Tao Xiang said: "How can there be any difference." ”

Mrs. Tao looked at him, frowned, and said, "Jingyi seems to be frightened, so you can send her back." Here I am. ”

"Okay." Tao Xiang promised, "Then I'll take her away first." ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Tao nodded. After a moment's pause, she stepped out. The hospital had returned to order, and there was nothing unusual in the hallways, except for a few additional guards. She saw her son knocking on another door......

Tao Xiang knocked on the door, and Qiu Wei came out.

He looked at Qiu Wei and asked, "How is the injury?" ”

Qiu Wei shook her head and said, "Thank you, uncle." I'm only a little dizzy and out of the way. ”

Tao Xiang turned his face to see Tu Huyi, raised his hand and hooked it, waited for him to come over, and said, "Take Qiuwei to the doctor for examination." You're in charge of sending her home. ”

"Don't. Uncle, I'm here with Miss. Qiu Wei said busily.

She blushed in anguises.

Tao Xiao didn't speak, just looked at her. Tu Huyi came over, grabbed her arm, and took her away...... Tao Xiang watched them walk away, turned his face to Ma Xingjian and said, "You stay and listen to Madame's orders." Keep them safe. ”

Ma Xingjian stood up and asked Tao Xiang: "The car is waiting below, will you leave immediately?" ”

Tao Xiang looked at Jingyi through the glass on the door, and said, "Wait." ”

He entered the hospital room, and Jingyi was waiting for him.

She'd just been sitting on the edge of the bed and wanted to get out of here. She could have taken advantage of this time to take a break. But her eyes were wide open, like something was holding her eyelids, so she had to keep her eyes open and see the ...... she didn't want to see. Those bombings, attacks...... The horrific crash, she had suspected...... There are also conspiracies, calculations, and enemies, all of which do not live in her mind.

"Let's go." He said.

She looked up at him and whispered, "I still have to go see my aunt." ”

"Grandma and grandma are very nice. I've been transferred to the ward, and my mother is here, so don't go there. Tao Xiao said, holding her arm and taking her away.

Jingyi obediently followed him all the way down the stairs, in the car, and left, without seeing anything wrong, everything was the same as when she first arrived, quiet, calm and orderly. She heard Tao Xiang say to go back to the headquarters, but she didn't tell anyone to send her home. So she followed him.

Everything was business as usual around the command of the North-Western Army. The car drove into the headquarters compound, and Jing Yi felt that it was a little too relaxed in the current situation. But when I entered the headquarters, I immediately realized that everything was an illusion. A few steps away from a heavily loaded soldier stood motionless, like a terracotta figurine.

Cen Gaoying was waiting there, and when he saw them, he saluted and said, "The commander has arrived." I am talking to Principal Qian. Say you'll get up as soon as you arrive. ”

Cen Gaoying said, his gaze turned to Jingyi.

Tao Xiang asked Cen Gaoying to take Jingyi to the lounge and said, "You wait for me." ”

Jing Yi stood at the top of the stairs and watched him go upstairs. Cen Gaoying reminded her, and she immediately turned around.

"This is the rest room of the Seven Youths." Cen Gaoying opened the door and asked Jingyi to enter. "I'm just outside, and the young grandmother will tell me if I need anything."

He closed the door.

Jingyi stood there for a long time without moving.

There was an occasional noise outside, very slight, sneaking through the thick door. It was footsteps, and she thought someone was coming. I didn't want to go through the door, and I didn't stop. I can't hear the password clearly, but I know it's a changing of the guard...... She looked around and saw the simple single bed on the south side of the room. The dark gray blanket looks especially tough at this time, like its owner.

Jingyi walked over and stroked the bed. The surface of the blanket was silky and delicate, and she sat down......

This sitting is almost overnight.

It was almost dawn before she heard footsteps again.

Tao Xiang entered the door and saw Jingyi sitting on the edge of the bed, stunned for a moment.

Jingyi immediately sat up straight.

The two looked at each other. After staying up all night, Tao Xiang became thinner and thinner, and Jing Yi's face was pale.

"I didn't expect it so late. You should get some sleep, too. Tao Xiang came over and said.

"The meeting is over?" Jingyi asked.

Tao Xiang nodded and said, "I still have some time, so I'll send you home." ”

Jing Yi saw that his dark face was very calm, and it seemed that the matter of Lu Qi's family had disappeared. But she didn't have a past in her heart, and layers of smoke screens were stacked in front of her. She just looked at him.

Seeing that she didn't move, Tao Xiang sat down on the chair opposite her.

"If you have anything to say, you can talk to me now." He sat up straight.

Jingyi shook her head and said, "You haven't rested all night, and I won't tell you at this time." ”

Tao Xiang asked, "You want to know, did I plan it in advance?" ”

Jingyi pursed her lips, looked at him, and whispered, "It doesn't matter if it's not." You get rid of your troubles, and we are all safe. ”

Tao Xiang said slowly: "He has a lot of roads to walk, and I can tolerate them." This is the only one, and I can't let him go. ”

Jingyi only felt that her heart was frozen a little bit. As if seeing with his own eyes that Sun Wukong couldn't turn over the palm of the Buddha's hand no matter what, Tao Xiang's gentle and warm tone was cold.

She looked at him quietly, and before she knew it, she gritted her teeth.

Tao Xiang also looked at her and said, "Think I'm ruthless, despicable, and unscrupulous? ”

Jing Yi's face changed.

"Did you hear what he said?" She asked. My heart trembled.

"You don't have to listen, you know what Lu Qi will tell you. Cheng Jingyi, Tao Xiang's wife is not easy to do. In addition to making vases, there are also many opportunities to eat spears. Tao Xiao said, placing something beside Jingyi.

Jing Yi looked at it, it was the pistol he gave her before.

"I hate days like this." Jingyi said. She grabbed the cold pistol in her hand, so heavy that she almost couldn't hold it steadily, "Tao Xiang, I really hate such days......"

I'm so disgusted that I can't wait to get away with it.

She raised her eyes to look at the man who was looking at her calmly in the morning light.

In Lu Qi's mouth, Tao Xiang, who is mean, ruthless, tough, and does everything to achieve his goals.

He is strategic, he advances and retreats freely, he is fearless, he turns his hands into clouds and hands for rain in the treacherous clouds...... She thought she had already recognized. But she had never felt so much fear as she did today. But it is not clear where this fear is, where it comes from, and where it is going...... She couldn't hold on to that fear, and she couldn't control herself.

"I know." Tao Xiang stood up.

He walked to the window, turned his back to her, and looked out at the empty square.

"My dream was to save lives. I never want anyone to die because of me...... My hand is to save people. Jingyi said.

In the world of home and country, those things are too illusory and too distant.

She didn't understand it, and she didn't want to touch it.

But the men around her are always fighting for this illusion and remoteness......

She looked at Tao Xiang. His hands clenched into fists, and he trembled a little.

She couldn't help but get closer to him, but Tao Xiang turned around at this time.

She couldn't see any signs of anything unusual in him, but she intuitively felt that something was wrong with him.

"You're hurt?" Jingyi asked.

As she spoke, her hand reached over and touched his shoulder. Where the fingers touched, blood stains leaked out.

Tao Xiang's face turned white when he saw her, and he was about to speak when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in." As soon as he spoke, Jing Yi lowered his hand. But she didn't go away, still standing beside him.

"Qishao, Doctor Zuo has come to change the dressing." Ma Xingjian came in.

Jing Yi frowned when she saw Tao Xiang, obviously a little unhappy.

"Let him wait." Tao Xiang said.

"Wait." Jingyi dragged his hand, "Adjutant Ma, please ask the doctor to come in." ”

Tao Xiang looked at Jing Yi.

She unfastened his cufflinks.

Tao Xiang pressed her hand. Jingyi listened to the footsteps, and when she looked back, Zuo Ming, a military doctor carrying a medicine box, walked in. Seeing the appearance of the two, Doctor Zuo stood a little embarrassed. Jing Yi quietly twitched his hand, Tao Xiao turned around and sat down in the chair.

Zuo Ming approached and saluted.

Tao Xiang looked at Jingyi and said, "You go out first." ”

Jingyi didn't move.

Tao Xiao unbuttoned his shirt in her calm gaze. When he pulled down the left half of his shirt sleeve, Jing Yi saw that the bandages around his shoulders were soaked in blood.
