"Hold me tight." I admonished, and then drew the soft sword at my waist with my intact right hand, ready to fight against the water.

Peony raised her eyes, slightly stunned to look at the figure that was getting closer and closer with the black shadow, and suddenly laughed.

"Brother Shen." She whispered in my ear, "You really are the luckiest person I've ever met." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the dark shadows cleared the vegetation that blocked her vision.

Cold-clothed spears, sharp shields and swords, dark purple helmets look eye-catching and cold in the dim dense forest, neat teams, strict discipline, and elite momentum seem to be able to break through the bamboo in the next moment.

It is the protector of the Qi Kingdom.

"Is it Prime Minister Shen of the neighboring country?" The ironclad general, who was at the forefront, spoke.

Surprised, I frowned and took a defensive step back.

"Sister Shaohong!" Before I could speak, a figure had already rushed over from the group of Qi soldiers.

I fixed my eyes and saw the original Jingyang.

"Sister Shaohong, what's wrong with you?" Jingyang saw Shaohong lying on my back with her breath dying, she was shocked and anxious, so she immediately hugged Shaohong into her arms, bypassed the soldiers of Qi State in a few steps, and rushed away.

"Hey......" I subconsciously wanted to say a few words to Jingyang, but he ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When General Qi Guo saw the scene in front of him, he knew it in his heart, knelt down on one knee at the young man in front of him, hugged his fists and said, "Greetings to the envoy of Qinguo, I have been waiting here for many days." ”

Envoys of Qin? Who? Me?

I blinked, and with a smile on my face, I lifted the saluted General Qi Guo, "You're welcome, general, please get up." ”

When the general got up, his eyes fell unconsciously on my left arm, which was hanging at my side, and he opened his mouth to ask something, as if he was afraid that he would be rude and annoy me. He didn't ask.

"I've been injured a little in the jungle, and I hope the general won't be too troublesome and will hire a doctor for me." I didn't hide it, half answering his questions, half telling what I was asking for at the moment.

General Qi Guo was stunned when he heard me tell his injuries so bluntly, but before he came here, the emperor had already told him that he must treat Prime Minister Shen Cheng of Qinguo as a guest until he was escorted to the Biancheng Palace.

"Lord Shen Xiang, please come here, we have a good bone doctor in our camp." The general leaned sideways and invited me to pass.

I smiled and nodded to him, and walked away, and the general followed me half a step behind the diagonal.

"How many days has the general been here?" I asked him.

"It's been more than ten days." He answered me.

More than ten days? That means he was waiting here when Peony and I first entered the jungle.

"Why is the general here to meet me?" I then asked.

He replied, "My emperor has an order, and it is stated here." ”

Emperor Qi? Emperor Qi.

After a little contemplation in my heart, I paused for a moment and changed the topic: "I don't know if the general is here, in addition to seeing us, but also seeing others?" ”

"Yes." The general did not hide that "before you, a dozen men dressed in black appeared. ”

"So how are they doing now? Is it left? I turned to look at him.

"No, I didn't." He said, "My emperor has an order, and anyone other than Prime Minister Shen and his entourage will be killed." They have been killed by our soldiers and thrown their bodies into the wilderness. ”

General Qi Guo deliberately said it so explicitly, after all, let's not talk about the delicate relationship between Qin and Qi, just the civil ministers and military generals have always despised each other, although there is an emperor's order first, it does not prevent him from occasionally showing a little anger towards such a thin young man.

In fact, he didn't deliberately want to embarrass the prime minister from Qinguo, she was very friendly and polite, but because of habit, he couldn't afford her from the bottom of his heart.

However, what obviously surprised him was that this Prime Minister Shen not only did not show the slightest look of fear or disgust, but also did not even show a look of joy, but only a faint smile throughout the whole process, polite and detached.

Didn't those men in black who were so murderous come to hunt her down?

General Qi Guo muttered in his heart, but he still respectfully welcomed this Prime Minister Shen into the barracks.

"My lord, your injuries have been delayed for a while, and although I can help you take care of your bones this time, the pain you will have to endure will definitely be more intense than those who have dislocated." The doctor in the army looked at my injuries and said, "If the adults can endure a little longer, and wait for me to prepare a prescription to alleviate the pain, and then the bones will be grafted, and the adults will definitely suffer less." ”

Time is precious to me, and I can't afford to waste it here.

Taking a slight breath, I shook my head at the doctor and motioned with my eyes for him to take the bone immediately.

This doctor had already seen my position in the army, and he did not dare to go against my will, so he could only agree at the moment.

General Qi Guo, who was outside the military tent, took two steps left and right, and stood still outside the tent for a while, but he didn't hear the cry of pain from the military tent, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more confused.

"What's wrong?" He asked urgently.

This is the person that His Majesty likes, if there are three long and two short, he will have to be buried with him.

The bone doctor calmed his mind for a moment and stammered, "Back to General Chen's words, then...... The Lord is ...... It's all right......"

"Since it's nothing, what are you panicking about?" Chen Kun frowned.

The bone doctor knelt on the ground after being drunk by Chen Kun, and cried while kowtowing, "It was the adult who disappeared through the window by himself, and it has nothing to do with me, I was clicked by her, I couldn't move, and I couldn't make a sound...... You can't blame me for this, it's true......"

Shocked in his heart, Chen Kun angrily grabbed the placket of the bone doctor's clothes, lifted him up, and said in disbelief, "One of her arms has just been connected by you, and her vitality is greatly damaged, how can she disappear so quietly?" Or is it under the nose of General Ben? ”

"The general spares his life, I really don't know anything, I'm just a doctor who gives people bones, and the adult doesn't say a word, and I can't help it......"

"Humph!" Chen Kun threw the doctor on the ground, opened the tent and went in to investigate.

There was no one in the tent, except for the curtains that were rolled up and opened, and the tea poured on the table was not touched.

What a carelessness!

Chen Kun secretly cursed bad luck and immediately ordered the soldiers to start a search in the whole battalion.

Although I expected that after I sneaked away, there would be people in the barracks who would turn on their backs, but I still rode on the stolen military horse without hesitation and galloped in the direction of Biancheng.

Now that Peony is in Jingyang's hands, I don't need to worry about her anymore, everything can only depend on her own creation.

After galloping all night under the moonlight, I finally arrived at the Gongqinguo Mansion in Biancheng early the next morning.

Dismounted, I held the reins and hesitated for a while, but finally gritted my teeth and walked to the gatehouse of the Guogong Mansion.

"Excuse me, can you spread the word on your behalf? I want to see your young master. I said.

The porter glanced me up and down, but didn't say or move.

I had no choice but to tear off a piece of jade pendant that I was carrying and handed it to him, "The silver on my body has been lost on the road, only this piece of beautiful jade remains, and I ask the little brother to be accommodating." ”

When the porter saw that the jade was full of lushness and was a really first-class product, he immediately smiled, and politely asked me to wait outside the door for a while, and ran in by himself.

After a night of running and toiling, I felt that the left arm that was connected to it was a little misaligned, not only that, but that day I fell off the cliff, in order to protect the peony, the back of my head was smashed hard, and I was just dizzy for a while, and now I don't know how to get in pain, as if there are insects drilling into it, not only the pain is dizzy, but also the pain is nauseous.

Sure enough, heroes have to pay a price.

I was lamenting in my heart that the bad luck was good, but the side door of the Gongqinguo Mansion was opened from the inside.

"Gu Yuan......" The corner of my eyes swept the familiar white shadow, and I just opened my mouth to say two words, but I found that the person who came was not Gu Yuancheng, but Chen Yi.

"Lord Shen Xiang." Chen Yi bowed to me very seriously.

He has always treated me with respect, but now this gift has made me stand back involuntarily.

Chen Yi looked up at me, and there was a cold air in his eyes that was different from usual, "Lord Shen Xiang came today, if you are looking for my young master, you can leave by yourself, and my young master will not see any outsiders." ”

The hands in the sleeves couldn't help but clench into fists, and I looked at Chen Yi who was so cold, and there was a momentary tingling in my heart.

"Is he ...... "I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at him" and said he didn't want to see me? ”

"Yes." Straightforward, without any tactful phrasing.

"Yes...... I closed my eyes, reached out and took one out of my arms and handed it to Chen Yi, "This is a condensation branch, if it is...... If he still needs it......"

Chen Yi sneered and pushed my hand away, "My lord, let's go back and forth from where it is early, my young master doesn't need anything from you." With that, he turned and walked into the door, and ordered his men to close the side door.

I stood there stunned, and for a moment, I didn't know where to go.

After all, I first pushed him to death mercilessly, and now, it can be regarded as karma.

The sachet in my hand didn't weigh much, but I felt like I had to use all my strength to hold it tightly, just as I wanted to hold the morning glow.

"Gu Yuancheng, am I ashamed of you? But you were the opponent I wanted to get rid of, so how could I be ashamed of you......"

I can't, I can't.

I have sent him a condensation branch with all odds, but he doesn't want to see me, he doesn't want it, he can't complain about me, he can't complain about me......

After stumbling several steps in succession, I raised my eyes to look at the vermilion gate in front of me, my heart was stabbed, the qi and blood in my body surged, and the familiar feeling of tightness in my chest directly made me dizzy, I tried to calm my breathing, but my eyes were getting darker and darker......

Suddenly, I heard the side door open, and I wanted to see who it was, but I felt a blur in front of me.

"Gu Yuancheng, are you ......?"
