Chapter 73: Alone in the Cave
The half-squinted eyes suddenly became deep, and Wei Jingyao turned his head vigilantly and looked at the entrance of the cave.
"Don't move here! I'll take a look. ”
Wei Jingyao struggled to get up, walked to the entrance of the cave with his sword, pricked up his ears, and leaned against the branch to observe the situation outside.
The dead lynx at the door was gone, and it should have become someone else's prey.
After a while, Wei Jingyao walked back, but he didn't go back to Xie Fuyao's side, but sat down at the entrance of the cave.
"It's just some wild wolves, don't worry, I've set up traps outside, they can't get in. ”
The bright moonlight shine through the branches and leaves, and the stars sprinkled on Wei Jingyao's body, making him even thinner.
Although the branches outside are dense, they are not impermeable.
Xie Fuyao knew that he was sitting in that position just to use his back to block all the cold wind out of the cave, and at the same time block all the dangers.
Knowing his kindness, Xie Fuyao didn't say anything more, just silently picked up the extra branches next to him and stuffed a lot into the fire.
Without the interference of the cold wind outside, the fire burned more vigorously, and there was a pleasant crackling sound.
Wei Jingyao's face has improved a lot, although he still looks bloodless because of excessive blood loss, but his spirit is very different from just now.
"Lord Wang, why did you suddenly come to Tiancheng Temple. ”
Xie Fuyao still said the doubts in his heart, and in the face of his own affairs, he always seemed to be able to predict the prophet.
"If this king said that it was a coincidence, would Miss Xie believe it?" Wei Jingyao's serious face made Xie Fuyao a little more convinced.
"This king doesn't know why things are so coincidental, every time he goes out, he happens to encounter Miss Xie in danger, do you think this is fate?"
Wei Jingyao adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable.
"It's not a secret, this king came today to be entrusted by his mother to come to Tiancheng Temple to make a vow, but just halfway through, he felt the earth shake. ”
Xie Fuyao quietly listened to Wei Jingyao's narration, presumably the earth shook because of the fallen tree.
At this moment, thousands of calculations were made, but there was no calculation, at noon, the dignified King Chu would appear there.
Just when the king checked what was going on, he saw the girl's maidservant, entangled with a few men in black, combined with the scene in front of him and the carriage tumbling in the forest, the king guessed a rough idea. ”
It's just that what Wei Jingyao didn't expect was that this was not an ordinary robber, but a professionally trained killer.
"Your maidservant recognized this king, saying that you are in danger, and the rest of the things are clear to Miss Xie. ”
Wei Jingyao tightened the clothes on his body, missing a padded sleeve, which was really a little cool.
"Thank you for telling the prince, but the courtiers still have some questions, the prince has fought with those assassins, presumably he has a certain understanding of the martial arts moves of those assassins, and the courtiers want to know if these assassins are from the palace. ”
Xie Fuyao's expression was very serious, and he didn't look like he was joking.
"Why do you have such a question?" Wei Jingyao's eyes were half-squinted, revealing a slight dangerous aura.
Is there still a connection between Xie Fuyao and the palace that he doesn't know, the crown prince, or King Xuan, or someone else.
"To tell you the truth, a few days ago, during the birthday banquet of my fourth sister, the crown princess suddenly came to visit and kept saying that I seduced the prince?"
Looking at Wei Jingyao's vigilant eyes, Xie Fuyao knew that if he didn't tell him about the matter, he was afraid that he wouldn't reveal it to himself.
"You suspect it's the crown princess. Wei Jingyao's eyes were dyed with a smile.
"With such well-trained killers, I really can't think of anyone other than the crown princess who can dispatch them. ”
Thinking of those assassins, Xie Fuyao still has lingering palpitations, he must be careful in his actions in the future, and he can't be exploited by others again.
"You don't have to worry about this, although the crown princess is usually arrogant and domineering, but he is also above board, since she has already been to the mansion to save your face, she will not make such a trick again, and it should be someone else who wants to kill you." Wei Jingyao said without concealment.
This princess and the prince have the same temper, she can do something to slap her face, how can she have the brain to plan assassination, this picture is funny to think about.
The corners of Wei Jingyao's mouth suddenly pulled out a smile, and he looked at Xie Fuyao with interest, looking up and down.
"It's just that what do you mean by this seduction?"
Xie Fuyao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was still confused.
"I have no personal contact with the crown prince, and the only opportunity to meet is the palace banquet, I don't know where the crown princess is chasing the wind and shadows, so there is such a misunderstanding. ”
Could it be a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, when Xie Fuyao danced a sword dance, which was shocking.
Although the prince did not speak, his eyes were full of praise and appreciation when he looked at Xie Fuyao.
Presumably this scene was watched by the crown princess, so there was something later, which is really interesting.
"Lord Wang, but what did you think of?" Xie Fuyao was a little puzzled.
Seeing Wei Jingyao bowing his head and chuckling, he seemed to think of something funny.
"No, it's just something else. Wei Jingyao subconsciously blurted out without thinking about it.
As soon as the words came out, Wei Jingyao himself was stunned, why did he subconsciously want to hide this matter, did he not see others showing favor to Xie Fuyao.
Xie Fuyao didn't care, since Wei Jingyao had already said so, it seemed that the person who killed him was indeed not the crown princess.
Although it is not yet certain who the murderer is, it is good to be able to rule out one.
"Lord Wang. ”
Xie Fuyao suddenly remembered a particularly important thing, after all, the thing they had thought of from the moment they encountered danger was just not a chance to say it just now.
"What's wrong?" Wei Jingyao was slightly stunned, looking at Xie Fuyao's serious expression, it seemed that something terrible had happened.
"I don't know if the prince has ever heard of the word shadow guard. Xie Fuyao made up his mind and spoke.
The shadow guards, as the name suggests, are like shadows, hidden in the shadows, and they do not appear on weekdays.
But when danger comes, they are the last critical barrier to protect the safety of their owners.
"Like a shadow, like a maggot attached to a bone. ”
Wei Jingyao's thin lips opened lightly, and he said word by word, about these Wei Jingyao has only heard about it in the book.
As for why Xie Fuyao knew that Wei Jingyao was too lazy to ask, after so many things, it was no longer unusual to hear anything from her mouth.
"Why did Miss Xie suddenly mention this?"
