Chapter 21 Return to the city
Then she was caught off guard by a blow in the back, causing her left shoulder to be cut by a knife, and the cracked wound continued to gush blood, staining her left sleeve, and a deeper black began to spread on her clothes, she frowned, gritted her teeth and took a breath of cold air.
was originally exhausted, and now he is deeply stabbed, which makes Canglan in a state of fire and water.
The black leader was about to swing a knife at the neck of Canglan, and at the last moment, the turbid air was cut by a sharp arrow, and the sword in the hand of the black leader was accurately hit.
"Brothers, be careful!" The leader in black saw a man coming on a horse with an arrow.
Seeing that the speed of the man on horseback did not decrease, and he only ran towards the black-clothed crowd, the other black-clothed men retreated one after another to avoid injury.
"Come on!" The man on the horse stretched out his large, powerful hand.
And the man in black wanted to grab Canglan, who resisted with one hand, and handed over the other hand to the man on horseback who couldn't see his face clearly.
The other men in black began to attack the horse violently, and in a short time the horse was also stabbed several times and began to neigh and scream violently.
The man grabbed Canglan's hand and brought her up, and before Canglan could sit down, the galloping horse took the two away.
The injured horse seems to be spurred by the shock and pain, and instead runs faster than before.
The wind in his ears whistled by, and the cold wind of winter brought up his hair, and when he looked back, he saw that the group of black-clothed people chasing them were thrown away by them far away, and at this time Canglan felt the wound on his shoulder become more and more painful.
She looked down at the wound on her shoulder, and although the flesh was blurry, the blood was still flowing.
"Thank you! I don't know you though! The kindness owed to you will be repaid in the future! ”
Canglan raised his head, and could only see the back of the man's head, his hair neatly tied by a crown, and the dark blue fashionable fur coat was inlaid with white down on the neck and shoulders and constantly trembled in the wind.
"Thank me, I'm afraid it's too early to say that!" Wei Xinghan glanced down at Canglan's hands holding him, and said with a smile.
"Too early?" Listening to the man's voice, it seemed a little familiar, but because the wind was too strong, and he didn't remember who the man in front of him was because of the strong wind and the bumpy ride on the horse.
"Can you take me back to the capital now?"
"This horse is dying, only waiting for the rescue soldiers to arrive!"
After that, there was silence all the way, no one spoke, only the clatter of the horse's hooves and the undulating of his own feeble body.
Thinking that the eldest prince would find out that she was missing tomorrow morning, how would he explain it when he went back? Maybe it was because the fight had just consumed too much physical strength, and not long after being rescued, he felt sleepy, and just as he felt that he was about to fall asleep, the horse slowly slowed down, and the blood on his abdomen continued to flow.
"It should be safe now! Come down and bandage the wound! Canglan sat in the back, and could only obediently dismount.
After they jumped off the horse, the horse stood beside him in a proper manner, dressed roughly, and then fell to the ground, Wei Xinghan half-knelt in front of the horse's head, stroking the dying horse's head, "I'm sorry!" ”
"Third Highness?!" Wei Xinghan was taking off her clothes in front of her, and she saw Wei Xinghan's silhouette clearly in the faint light.
"So don't thank you too soon." Wei Xinghan said expressionlessly, and then he took off the white sleeve shirt inside and put it on the horse's back.
"What are you going to do?" Canglan retreated again and again, and his eyes flashed with a look of vigilance.
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Then neatly put the dark blue fox fur coat on the horseback, and took off the white cotton sleeve shirt inside, fortunately, I wore it more in the cold in winter, and it would not reveal anything that made Canglan feel shy.
Wei Xinghan grabbed Canglan's injured hand, and Canglan wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that he was just bandaging her wound with his cotton-sleeved shirt.
"Thanks... Xie "Although she was extremely reluctant that her enemy had saved him, it was now an established fact.
"This place is far away from the capital, and the fast horse will arrive in an hour, but my horse is also injured, and someone will come to the rescue, and I will send you back tomorrow morning."
"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight..."And the two of them were alone in the woods, Wei Xinghan was still wrapping her injured arm, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and she wanted to cover up her discomfort with an interrogative tone.
"By the way, why are you here today?" Such a forest in the dead of night, the dead branches of the winter night stretch lonely to the sky.
"Then why didn't the tide beauty stay in the palace and appear here?" Wei Xinghan asked rhetorically, and suddenly Canglan was speechless.
"I..."
After Wei Xinghan had worked hard to build a fire, Wei Xinghan and her sat opposite each other around the fire, and the crackling light of the fire illuminated their silence.
From time to time, Canglan glanced at Wei Xinghan, who was sitting cross-legged and resting with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but guess all kinds of possible situations in his heart.
This Wei Tianyue must have something to do with Concubine Xiao's parents when he appeared here tonight, but didn't there be another man in black before? The two pairs of men in black are clearly hostile.
If Qian Qian is the person sent by Wei Wei Xinghan, and this old couple is the father and mother of this Qian Qian, then Wei Xinghan is here to kill them.
But someone prevented this assassination tonight, could this person be sent by Coriander Qian? How to protect your parents?
But in case it is Coriander who comes to kill her parents, to prevent the eldest prince from seeing the flaws in her life experience in the future, and the third prince is the one who wants to leave evidence, then the third prince is here to protect Bai Qianqian's parents, but what sounds good is protection, and at worst, there is a threat.
I thought about it for a while, I felt too tired, and the cold wings around me kept coming, and I didn't feel cold because I had been fighting, but now I sat down here and my body was trembling unconsciously.
"You're wondering why I'm protecting this couple?" Looking at Canglan's sluggish distraction, Wei Xinghan had probably guessed one or two of them, but Cang Lan thought the opposite of him.
"Nope!" Canglan hurriedly vetoed, is this third prince a roundworm in his stomach? He knows everything he wants?!
Canglan almost didn't choke on her own saliva, and the hairy feeling on her throat made her can't stop coughing up the discomfort, Wei Xinghan still came to protect them? It doesn't look like it, huh?
"Ahem, ahem... Ahem," Canglan patted his chest, finally relieved.
Wei Xinghan saw that Canglan was choked by herself, and wanted to go over to help, but he finally held back, he reminded himself that she was also the beauty of the imperial brother now, even if she saved him ten years ago, even if he refused Princess Mirror who came to marry and make peace in order to find her, he couldn't show any flaws in his feelings.
Wei Xinghan: "Better?" ”
Canglan nodded, "Uh-huh"
"Well, you'd better get some rest"
The topic that was originally very important just now was intercepted by his own cough, and Canglan felt that Wei Xinghan had no interest in talking more.
"Next!"
"Huh?"
When I looked up, I saw the blue fox coat falling from the sky, and Canglan reached out to catch it.
"Thank you!"
"Courtesy!"
In this way, Canglan was dressed in Wei Xinghan's coat, and the two of them stayed silent for two hours, and when the sky was twilight, a soldier finally came with a team on horseback.
"The person they want to kill tonight is Qian Qian's parents, this Bai Qian is used to clear my name of framing Bai Fu, her real name is Yulai."
It's a bit unexpected, but it's expected, but the third prince's honesty makes Canglan feel incredible, and he cleared his proof of framing Baifu? Wasn't the fire in Baifu secretly planned by the three princes? Even if he is cleared now, one day Canglan will find out the evidence, and when the time comes, he Wei Xinghan will be guilty of crimes.
"Why are you telling me this?" Canglan listened to Wei Xinghan's understated narration, and couldn't hide the hatred in his heart, his Bai family's parents and more than 100 people up and down the Bai Mansion were framed by the man in front of him, and no one survived, and this man was still trying to clear his name.
"Why do you want to know this?" His Royal Highness turned his head sideways and smiled at Canglan, and he asked knowingly.
"Baifu has a life-saving grace for me, so I want to understand clearly, you tell me this. Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor? ”
"Why do you want to snitch? In what capacity are you now informing the emperor? "Could it be that she is going to tell the whistle as Canglan, who has nothing to do with Baifu? This will only lead to slander.
"Let me tell you, I am a female killer raised by General Bai. It is my task to inquire about the truth of the fire in Baifu so that the spirits of General Bai and Madame Bai can rest in peace. ”
After Wei Xinghan heard what Canglan said, Wei Xinghan turned his head and snickered, Qian Qian, Qian Qian is really interesting, but he doesn't break it.
"Did you find the evidence?"
"Of course, after the fire in Baifu, I found a waist card on the ruins, if I remember correctly, this waist card is still owned by the soldiers under your Third Highness!"
Wei Xinghan paused slightly after hearing this, thinking about who went to the soldiers in their mansion to steal the waist card.
"You think I did it?"
"Isn't it?"
"But have you ever thought that it was a frame-up? How could I allow my men to leave any traces of such murder? You're underestimating my abilities. ”
"But the third prince and General Bai have always been intolerable in the imperial court, don't let it, who else can there be if it's not you, the third prince?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to make you sad, General Bai for me, although we have different political positions, but I have no intention of framing him, if I want to frame your father in the battle in the north three years ago, why would I intercede for him? Besides, the young lady of the Bai family, Bai Qianqian, also saved my life. ”
Well? Canglan thought about when he had saved the lives of these three highnesses? "I haven't heard my young lady say that she saved your life."
