The cold wind blew away the warmth on Ruan Lu's body, as if his voice had ended in the cold winter, and he couldn't wait for the next spring flowers to bloom.

And at this moment, he saw that Xi Xi came over with Akong, these days of getting along, Akong still doesn't like Xi Xi, even if Xi Xi almost tried his best to find all the fun things in the world for him, he still begged to see his mother.

Today, Ruan Lu came back, and he was naturally overjoyed, but he saw that he had not come to see him, and that his face had not been good, so he personally brought Ah Kong.

Ruan Lu looked at Ah Kong, but saw that he had lost a lot of weight these days, and there was no more flesh on his little face, and his eyes were more and more watery, just looking at Ruan Lu timidly.

Ruan Lu reached out to hug him, as if he were the most precious treasure in the world.

And when Ah Kong's eyes looked at Shi Ran, his eyes flashed with brilliance in an instant, and he rushed straight into his arms, shouting excitedly, "Daddy, you're here to pick me up, take me to see my mother, okay?" ”

His son called others like this, but Ruan Lu's heart was like a knife, but he didn't dare to do anything.

Shi Ran picked up the child, and rubbed the child's cheek with his bony hand, "Okay, I'll take you home." ”

After he finished speaking, he hugged Akong and wanted to leave, but he was frightened. But she subconsciously wanted to stop her, but unexpectedly, Ruan Lu's tired and hoarse voice came, "Let him go." ”

Unfortunately, she could only look at Ruan Lu blankly, this was the first time she had seen Ruan Lu with such a look, that kind of desperate and lonely eyes.

Shi Ran walked outside with Ah Kong in his arms, Ah Kong looked at the melting snow on the eaves, and fell on the bluestone steps on the ground, kicking his legs excitedly.

He turned around the pavilion, but saw a woman in a brocade dress and a swaying head standing alone in a pavilion. Although it is unparalleled, its silhouette is thin, like a puppet.

Seeing him walking over with Ah Kong in her arms, her dark eyes turned, and her voice was full of excitement, "Where are you going?" ”

"The four seas are home." His voice was distant and indifferent, as if she was just a stranger, "I will not enter Beijing in the future, nor will I become an official." ”

"What!" When Fu Yunhuang heard this, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she stepped forward to pull Shi Dye's shirt regardless of her identity, "I am the person who knows you best in the world, I know that you are full of ambitions, is it possible to bury the world's amazing talent?" ”

Shi Ran took a step back and shook off her hand, "It has nothing to do with the princess. ”

"Shi Ran, you can leave with me, I don't want the position of any bullshit princess, as long as I can follow you." Because of the excitement, her beautiful face looked a little distorted. "Over the years, Ruan Lu and I have just been husband and wife, don't dislike me."

Shi Ran still had only indifference on his face, "Self-respect." ”

"Do you love that woman so much, but she's dead." She suddenly laughed, her eyes were full of tears, "I'm afraid that even when she died, she hated you, thinking that you betrayed her!" ”

Shi Ran's eyes were filled with a chill, "You calculated her, the gold medal was obviously given to you by her, but you hid it, why don't you have her blood on your hands?!" ”

Seeing that her lie was exposed, her face turned pale, "She must die, or I will never get your heart." I killed her, you have the ability to kill me to avenge her, Shi Ran, I'm the regent princess, my father is now Jing Suihou, do you dare? ”

Ah Kong, who was in Shi Ran's arms, was frightened by the hideous appearance on her face, and only threw her head into Shi Ran's arms, not daring to show it at all, her small body was trembling.

"All I have in my life is disgust with you." Shi Ran looked at her, "Why should I kill you, but you will definitely live better than die in the future." ”

Fu Yunhuang was frightened by the look on his face, but he could only watch him disappear in front of him, unable to do anything, he was afraid that after seeing him today, it would already be a farewell.

Just when she was crying with tears on her face, she saw a long figure standing in front of her.

When she raised her head, she saw Ruan Lu holding a sword in her hand, with a fierce light in her eyes, and almost gritted her teeth and said, "It was you, the slut, who killed her, and today this king asked you to pay for her life." ”

Fu Yunhuang only then knew what Shi Ran meant by what he said, but at this time, he was already frightened by Ruan Lu's appearance, and only roared urgently, "You killed her, why are you a concubine now, whether she is dead or liked, she is like a man like you, that is living in hell, isn't it still the prince himself who pushed her step by step to the point where she is now?" ”

"Okay, then I'll kill you first, and then this king will judge himself." He was already lost in pain, "We are all sinful people, so we will all pay for her life." ”

After saying that, he really took the sword and sharpened it, without the slightest scruples, and only came at her neck.

She was so frightened that she didn't expect him to be so ruthless, but she helped him win the position of today's regent, otherwise he would have died in the hands of Liang Yan.

Her legs were weak, and she fell on the bluestone steps.

But she picked up a life because of this, the sword actually cut off more than half of the green silk on her head, and even the golden hairpin on her sideburns was broken into two, which shows that he has no mercy, and he is simply determined to let her die.

And at this time, I saw that Xi Xi and others had already arrived.

She yelled, "Save me, the prince wants to kill me." ”

It's a pity that he was originally a very good-hearted person. Seeing such a ridiculous thing happening, he couldn't care about anything, so he hurriedly ran over, hugged Ruan Lu's waist from behind, and said with tears in his eyes, "Lord, what's wrong with you, this is the princess, your wife." ”

"He deserves it, too." Ruan Lu's voice was sad, he was deceived by this woman, so he killed Lian Zhi'er.

Fu Yunhuang took advantage of this time, only quickly got up from the ground, only the hair was scattered, and the slightest dignity was gone, although she was wearing cotton clothes, but her body still rubbed off the skin and burned like a fire.

Ruan Lu struggled violently, and his weak body flew out like a paper kite, and then lay on the ground, "wow" and spit out half a mouthful of blood.

Only then did he slowly recover his senses, and he quickly dropped the sword in his hand, walked over and hugged him, "But where did it hurt?" ”

There were tears in his eyes, but he still pretended to be strong. "Lord, don't kill the princess."

And at this moment, the housekeeper and the servants also rushed over, only to see that the trouble was so inexorable, they had to kneel on the ground, "Lord Wang, you have to think about Jing Suihou, he is your right-hand man." Do you want to cut off your arms and be left alone in the middle of the court? ”

"Chaozhong? Regent? He suddenly laughed, but there was a cold look between his eyebrows, "She's gone, what's the use of all this?" Take it if you want. ”

It was a pity to lie in his arms, but when he heard him say such words, it suddenly seemed that something was shattered in his heart.

She faintly saw the snow drops on the eaves dripping down, as if dripping on her heart, so she suddenly thought of something, and her face suddenly changed, "Lord Wang, she won't die, maybe she can still be saved." ”

Ruan Lu's heart seemed to stop beating, and he only stared at it, "What did you say?" ”

"Now that the snow in Beiliang has melted, the snow water will definitely flow into the coffin along the bamboo poles, and she will naturally have water to drink." Xi Xi sat up from his arms, and her teeth were still full of bright red blood, "Besides, the people of Beiliang have always had a habit of carrying a piece of air-dried beef in their arms, if they encounter any danger, they can support it for a while." ”

She tried her best to prove that Lian Zhi'er still had a chance to survive, just to calm Ruan Lu down, or to let him survive.

Something seemed to light up in Ruan Lu's gray eyes, and he stood up, and as he galloped in the direction of the stable, he shouted in his mouth, "This king has not returned within a month, so he will kill this slut." Burial for the king. ”

He has already made up his mind to find Lian Zhi'er, if Lian Zhi'er really doesn't survive, I'm afraid he won't even want his own life.

Ruan Lu chose the fastest horse in the palace, a sweaty horse plundered from Beiliang, this is the mount of King Yan Cheng, which can travel thousands of miles in a day and run eight hundred at night. Let's have a book

However, after he had been running non-stop for three days and three nights, the horse was still exhausted and died on the road, foaming at the mouth, and his hooves only kicked a few times and then did not breathe.

Ruan Lu went to the official office in the city and took out his token, and the prefect was frightened when he saw him, but he only asked for a good horse. Continue to rush in the direction of Beiliang.

He didn't sleep, he was afraid that he would be late, and everything would be irretrievable.

Finally, before noon on the fourth day, he arrived at the Cover Pass.

Hongwu guarded there, one was to bury the soldiers and Beiliang people who died in battle, and the other was the remnants of Beiliang hiding in the shadows, coming from time to time.

When Hong Wu heard his subordinates reply that the regent was coming, he naturally didn't believe it. I just thought that someone who didn't want to die came here to swagger and deceive, but when he came over scolding, he was still stunned when he saw Ruan Lu.

But seeing that Ruan Lu, who was arrogant and unruly in the past, his face was covered with dust at this time, and he could barely distinguish his facial features, and the clothes on his body were also full of black mud, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't changed.

"Lord Wang, why are you here?" He shouted, and in astonishment, he forgot to kneel down and say goodbye.

His hands were blurred with flesh and blood from the reins, but he didn't seem to feel any pain, just shouted anxiously, "Go and follow me to save her, she won't die, she's waiting for me to save her." ”

Hong Wu almost subconsciously said that it was impossible, even if a big man didn't eat or drink, he wouldn't live for seventeen days, let alone a weak woman.

But seeing Ruan Lu in such a hurry, he didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly found a hundred strong people, and only rushed to the place where he had buried people before.

Ruan Lu only dug it with his own hands, and everyone didn't dare to be lazy, but after half a pillar of incense, he dug out the shallow coffin.

He was the first to rush forward, but the moment his hand touched the coffin, he was still trembling, he had never been so scared in his life.

At this time, Hong Wu had to come up and open the lid of the coffin at once, but saw that the person lying inside was quiet, as if he was asleep, and his eyes were tightly closed. There doesn't seem to be much pain.

Ruan Lu's heart seemed to be tugging, so he only dragged her out of the coffin, held her in his arms, and then looked at her cheek, "I'm here, you get up, it's good for you to scold me, just beat me, you get up." ”

Hong Wu saw that Lian Zhi'er did not open his eyes, and saw that Ruan Lu was like a madman. Only then did I look inside the coffin, but I saw that the bamboo pole in the coffin was wet, and there was a piece of oil paper in the coffin, which was originally used by the Beiliang people to wrap the air-dried beef, which showed that she still had a chance to live.

Ruan Lu's heart almost froze, and he couldn't hear anything clearly in his ears, and then stretched out his finger to touch her snort.

And at this moment, I saw her long eyelashes like butterfly wings trembling slightly, and those eyes only opened a gap slightly, and then closed them again.

Presumably in the dark for too long. Such a strong light could only pierce her eyes.

Ruan Lu used his sleeve to face the scorching light for her, and then asked the guards to bring water, slowly put it on her chapped lips, and fed her a small mouthful.

Lian Zhi'er coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes, but she didn't have any strength in her body, just curled up there, like an injured little beast.

Ruan Lu's voice was filled with endless joy, as if he had won a treasure in the world, "Lian'er, I'm sorry, I shouldn't treat you like this." ”

She finally raised her eyes and looked at him deadly, her dark eyes filled with endless hatred, as if she wanted to peel him to the bones.

Hong Wu subconsciously pressed his hand on the saber on his waist, and even he was in endless fear, but Ruan Lu still didn't notice it.

He had to send a piece of roasted naan in his arms to Ruan Lu's hand and let her give it to Lian Zhi'er. Originally, she had to drink some gruel, but she was so weak that she didn't eat anything again, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to go back.

Ruan Lu tore a bag and put it on her lips, and then said slowly, "Eat some, I'll take you back." ”

She just stared blankly.

Finally, Ruan Lu realized that something was wrong, and only gently opened her mouth, only to see that there was a shocking wound on her tongue, the blood from the wound had stopped, but it was a few deep tooth marks.

Presumably she couldn't hold on anymore, and only thought about biting her tongue and committing suicide, but the strength in her body was exhausted, but she still didn't end her life.

Ruan Lu felt terrified when he thought about it.

He stood up with her in his arms, but he seemed to have used his strength for several days and nights, and only carried her and walked until he carefully placed her in the carriage, and he was still comforting her, "It's all right, it's all over." ”

However, before she was put away, the horse pulling the cart suddenly saw that there seemed to be several wild wolves in the grass in the distance, and most of the horses in the Central Plains were afraid, and only ran a few steps with their hooves. Ruan Lu actually fell straight from the carriage.

Then the carriage swept past his arm, and rushed forward, and saw that it was going downhill, and was so afraid that the horse would turn on his back, and everyone was too far away to hold the horse which had lost control.

But Ruan Lu dragged the carriage to a foot, until the carriage was dragged, and he fell down and never got up again.

Seeing this, everyone hurried over, but saw that his forehead was full of blood, and the whole person had fainted, and the arm that had been picked up by Shi Cai was also broken, but it was injured like this, and he could still drag the cart and horse, and the people in the cart were so important to him that they could imagine how important they were.

When Ruan Lu woke up, it was already the second day, and he couldn't sleep one after another, coupled with such a serious injury, even the iron beaten people had to sleep for a few days, but he still woke up quickly, and Hong Wu knew that there was naturally something that made him unable to let go.

The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was to ask Hongwu. "What about her?"

Hong Wu sighed, but had to explain honestly, "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the county lord is just weak, and his life has been saved, but your body is not good, you have to raise it well, don't get hurt again, if you have anything to do, Weichen is not enough to have ten heads." ”

Ruan Lu had already lifted the quilt on his body and sat up suddenly, with urgency in his voice, "Quickly take this king to see her." ”

Where can Hongwu let him, "Lord Wang, you also have to take care of your body, you can't move." ”

His voice had changed, "What are you, you dare to stop this king, don't get out of here." ”

When Hong Wu saw that he was so angry, he naturally didn't dare to say another word, so he had to personally help him go to Lian Zhi'er's house, so he had to stay outside anxiously, but he didn't dare to go in to persuade him to say half a word.

Ruan Lu slowly entered the room, but saw that Lian Zhi'er had woken up, only sitting alone on the bed, with his head down, even if he heard the movement, he didn't even raise his head.

Ruan Lu's heart was like a knife, and he only walked over slowly, but every step was very difficult, and he was even a little afraid to see her.

He knew that she was speechless now, but he hoped that she could scold him, even if it was the most vicious words in the world, he would not be angry, even if she killed herself with a sword, he would have no regrets, this was originally a sin he had committed.

How could he calculate that she killed his own brother, how could he be so ruthless, now that he thinks about it, he knows what a ridiculous thing he has done.

If he could, he would rather he had never done all of this himself, even if it was in exchange for his life.

He slowly sat down beside her, only smelling a pungent smell of herbs, presumably she had just taken the medicine, but she was most afraid of bitterness, he knew it, and now the person who caused her like this was himself.

"Lian Zhi'er, are you willing to follow me to the Central Plains." He asked slowly, "Or would you like to stay with me." ”
