The night wind blew the white curtain, and under the somewhat dim light, it was the first time for Murong Qiancheng to see Chu Jiangmian so sad, and her heart suddenly became inexplicably colic.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Chu Jiangmian didn't look up. The woman squatted down with a faint fragrance and put the porridge she had cooked with her own hands in front of her.

"Xiaoli said that you didn't eat too much, how can your body stand it? This little porridge stayed up for half the night, and I don't know if it suits your appetite. If you're picky...... But you are not allowed to say! ”

Qiancheng cocked his mouth, but he didn't dare to look at the tears on his face. If she had enough courage, she would love to dry him now. But she wasn't that brave.

"Well, that's good."

Chu Jiangmian didn't shirk it, and he didn't say anything. He drank the small bowl of porridge with a warm smell in one go, and his face was full of satisfaction.

Murong Qiancheng lowered his head, only to find that there was a wound on his wrist, although it had been bandaged, but I don't know how he touched it just now, and blood oozed again. She was taken aback and quickly took the small bowl and put it aside. But he complained.

"Why don't you say it's hurt?"

"Oh, it's just a minor injury, and it's not in the way. I have already dealt with ...... when I was in the army. ”

"What do those rough guys in the army know? If you don't clean up the wound well, in case the cold gets serious, see what you do! ”

"It's not that serious, it's just a cut."

Chu Jiangmian whispered, and he had already seen Qiancheng reach out to untie the tangled gauze for him, revealing the wounds inside. She frowned, the knife was very deep, and the flesh rolled up, shocking.

"Then do you blame me for being nosy? If you don't care about your own body, don't you know how to think about others? Wait here, don't move. Hum! ”

Chu Jiangmian's face was stunned, and he involuntarily rubbed his forehead. It was the first time that a woman had been reprimanded like this. A moment later, Murong Qiancheng, who had gone and returned, brought the best medicine for his injuries. She cleaned his wound, reapplied the medicine, and bandaged it carefully.

The woman's hair fell down from her forehead, obscuring her face, and it was impossible to see what expression was on her face. Chu Jiangmian watched her carefully bandage, then tied a bow, and exhaled softly, as if he was finally relieved. His heart unconsciously seemed to be entangled by a tenderness. Perhaps, when people are most sad and sad, only such beauty is the most effective healing medicine.

"How can you do it if you are always injured, don't fight so hard when you are fighting! You are about to become the new king of Zhao, and some of your soldiers will serve you, and you will not be allowed to go to the battlefield in person in the future. ”

knew that her concern for him came for no reason, but she couldn't help but say it. If you count the two times at Zhongyue Mountain and Luohe Ferry, this is the third time she has bandaged his wounds.

"I don't want to! But there is no way. Whose life is not a life on the battlefield? From the moment they pick up the knife, everyone is a comrade who fights together, regardless of each other, let alone the noble and lowly ...... of status. ”

Listening to this man's low voice, the look in Murong Qiancheng's eyes was both confused and surprised. She had never heard of a person of nobility who would think like this.

"But you are about to become the king of a country, will you go to war in the future?"

"Absolutely! My father has always personally led the army and mounted his horse to kill the enemy. Am I, as his successor, going to hide far behind? ”

"Do you have that much ability? Just the hero ....... ”

As soon as the words came out, Qiancheng suddenly blushed. It turned out that in his subconscious, he had always regarded him as a gentleman in the mouth of the world, but he didn't expect that he had already transformed into a hero.

"Qiancheng, it's so late, why don't you sleep yet? Do these things for me...... But it's hard for you. ”

As if sensing her embarrassment, Chu Jiangmian changed the subject. Unexpectedly, the other party's face turned a little redder, and after half a sound, she muttered in a low voice.

"It was the queen who instructed you to take good care of you. I didn't do it myself. ”

However, before Qiancheng finished speaking, she suddenly felt a pair of arms gently hugging her from behind, and heard the man say in the gentlest tone.

"Thank you, Thousand Cities! Whatever it is, I want to thank you. From now on, no matter what happens, I will face it positively and never be the same as before. ”

Feeling the warm manly breath in her ears, Murong Qiancheng was a little stiff, and she didn't know how to deal with it. Was he confessing something to himself? Still is......? She was so cramped that she stirred the placket of her clothes with her fingers, and took several deep breaths before she finally calmed down.

"Actually, Xiaoli and I should thank you."

The man's arm left her body, and he just wanted a little comfort when his feelings were at their most vulnerable. The rest, didn't think much about it.

Why? Qiancheng, after you came to Zhao Kingdom, you helped me so much. This time thanks to the small ....... ”

"Now, I won't hide it from you. The reason why we decided to follow you to Zhao Country in the first place was that we hoped that we could use your strength to avenge us in the future. I thought that this goal might be far away, but I didn't expect to see hope so soon...... If we make a request to you when the opportunity is right, will you help? ”

Murong Qiancheng raised her head and looked at Chu Jiangmian's eyes, her face was already full of tears. The blood and hatred buried deep in my heart made this originally intelligent woman a little persistent. When I chose Chu Jiangmian, I wanted to use him. But now, she's changed her mind.

Chu Jiangmian nodded calmly, as if he had already known a lot. His gaze met the bright and flawless eyes of the woman in front of him, and in that autumn water, he understood everything.

"You're from Yanguo, right? If I'm not mistaken, I have a lot to do with the Murong family, the former ruling Yan State? ”

"That's right! Our family used to be the nobles of Yan Country and was in charge of the national affairs of Yan State, but three years ago, because of offending the royal family, we were hooked by treachery for no reason. My father was summoned to the palace and said that King Yan had a state affair to discuss. Unexpectedly, he never came back...... And, that very night, the entire mansion was surrounded by a large number of unidentified masked men, who broke into the mansion and did everything they could to kill people and set fires. Some of the escaped warriors rushed to call for help, but the entire street was surrounded. I don't know who ordered the troops to be transferred, and they were waiting in the dark night, and as long as they were out of the house, none of them could survive! ”

When Murong Qiancheng talked about these past events, although more than a thousand days and nights had passed, the raging fire and the dead clan relatives everywhere seemed to be happening right in front of him. Angry, her body involuntarily trembled again. Chu Jiangmian sighed lightly and held one of her hands. In fact, many of the major events that have happened in Yan Guo in the past two years, he has learned a little bit in Qianji Pavilion. The cruelty and ruthlessness of the struggle for power is happening all the time in every vassal state today. What happened to the Murong family in the Yan Kingdom was just one of them.

"Qiancheng, you have suffered. Rest assured! The Yan Kingdom has been openly hostile to the Zhao State, and from now on, the Yan royal family is not only the enemy of you and Xiaoli, but also our enemy. ”

Murong Qiancheng's eyes flashed with gratitude, but at the same time, they were a little gloomy. When she was in Zhongyue Mountain, she once seriously thought that she and Xiaoli had nothing but themselves. If you want to take revenge, you can only rely on the strength of others. So after seeing Chu Jiangmian at the beginning, she agreed to Murong leaving the city and going north with him. In her cognition, no one in this world would help others for free. Now that their siblings have made such a choice, they must give their all.

"That night the fire burned the whole street to the ground. Few people in the entire Murong family were able to escape. Xiaoli was just fifteen years old that year, and he desperately protected me, fought a bloody way, and escaped from Jicheng in Yan Kingdom. However, those people vowed to cut down the grass and chase after it. We have no foothold in Yan Country at all, and no one dares to take us in. was forced to leave Yan Country in desperation, and fled all the way to Zhongzhou, only to finally get rid of the enemy's pursuit. And then, I met you...... If you can really avenge us and wash away the rebellious sewage that the Murong family has been poured on your head, then I can promise you now, from now on, Xiaoli will be the most loyal general to you and your minions. And I, in any capacity, am willing to follow you ....... ”

Feeling the shame in her heart, her voice became lower and lower, and in the end, her voice was like a mosquito and a fly, almost inaudible. Although she once understood the slightest affection that Chu Jiangmian showed to herself, the woman had a very clear understanding in her heart. On the one hand, there are people who have fled the country and exiles, and on the other hand, there is a future king who shows his edge, and the identity gap between them is huge, and it cannot be as beautiful as imagined after all.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian held his hand a little harder. He stared into her eyes and said slowly, word by word.

"Qiancheng, I know what you're thinking, but those are superfluous. Listen well, you don't have the power to decide Xiaoli's life, nor do you have the power to decide your own life. A small Yan country, not in my eyes yet. It's not worth your humble request...... Could it be that after such a short period of time, have you forgotten the promise I made to you in the Zhongyue Mountains? ”

Murong Qiancheng felt his heart pounding. Of course, she will not forget that he said that he should treat Xiaoli as a brother. And the promise to her is...... In the future, I will hire a thousand cities!

Could it be that he is not joking, but true?!
