Ji Qianning and Xuan Qi rode a horse together, walking slowly in the moonlit night outside the city, the horse walked aimlessly, and soon came to a stream. The moonlight was reflected in the water, and it also gently caressed the faces of the two men.

"Xuan Qi, how do you know I'm there?" Midnight was silent, and Ji Qianning's voice drifted with the wind in the empty moonlit night.

"Counting the time when you and Eleven arrived, but I didn't see you, I sent people to look around, and as soon as I found your traces, I took people over." Xuan Qi replied to her gently, his tone relaxed, God knows how anxious he was when he didn't see them.

After he finished speaking, he jumped off the horse, and gently helped Ji Qianning to get off the horse.

"It's you every time." Ji Qianning looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.

The two walked side by side, walking and walking, Xuan Qi naturally took Ji Qianning's hand, slowly walked to the river and sat down, Xuan Qi was afraid that she would be cold, so he took off his cloak and wrapped it around her: "Why did you meet him?" After saying that, he took her hand again.

Ji Qianning suddenly looked up at him, only to see a trace of displeasure in his eyes, so she told him what had happened.

"Don't see him again." Xuan Qi said domineeringly.

"Huh?" Ji Qianning suddenly looked at him with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Ling is this jealous?" ”

"Jokes." Xuan Qi's eyes dodged, his ears were a little red, he clenched her hand, and looked panicked, "How can this king be jealous." He tried to hide his discomfort with laughter.

"Really?" Ji Qianning held back a smile and stared into his eyes, "Aren't you really jealous?" ”

"He also deserves to be jealous of this king." Xuan Qi's face began to redden.

Ji Qianning looked at his suddenly cute appearance and laughed.

"Don't laugh." Xuan Qi's face was a little unhappy, "Anyway, this king ordered you not to see that person again in the future." He said the most cowardly words in the most domineering tone.

Ji Qianning smiled so much that tears floated from the corners of her eyes, and she tried to hold back her smile and nodded.

Xuan Qi hugged her, and his voice was a little choked: "I'm afraid that you will be hurt again, and I'm afraid that you will abandon me again." ”

Ji Qianning was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, Xuan Qi's two words touched her heart deeply, she hugged Xuan Qi tightly, patted his back with her hand, and comforted: "No, I will never leave you." ”

Xuan Qi suddenly pushed her away and clenched her hands excitedly, his face full of joy: "Really? He stared into her eyes, full of anticipation, and there seemed to be stars in them.

Ji Qianning nodded with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Xuan Qi with a serious face: "Ling Chengzhi gradually lost his heart for the sake of power, Xuan Qi, will you be like this?" She had heard too much of the royal family's intrigues, and seen too many people who had lost themselves in the struggle for power, even if some of them were involuntary.

Xuan Qi suddenly let go of her hand, looked ahead, and his expression became indifferent: "Born in the royal family, it is not my will, there, there are too many insincere words, there are too many involuntary bodies, I hate the darkness and blood in the royal family, even if my hands are stained with blood in the war, I still hate killing." He was suddenly silent for a long time, "But I am burdened with the responsibility of the Prince of Chiyan, if I can, I would rather give up all this and go to see the scenery of Kyushu, or like Yan Ziling, choose a blessed place to live in seclusion and live a life as I like." Speaking of the back, there was a sudden light in his indifferent eyes.

Yes, who doesn't want to live as chic and comfortable as Yan Ziling a hundred years ago, even Ji Qianning's heart is extremely envious of that ancestor. She held his hand: "Xuan Qi, I believe in you, no matter what path you choose in the future, I will support you." In her eyes was unconditional trust in this man.

Xuan Qi's heart warmed, his eyes at the moment were endlessly gentle, the two pairs of eyes were facing each other, sometimes, a look was worth a thousand words. He stared at her bright eyes, and for a moment he couldn't help it, and grabbed her in his arms and kissed her gently on the lips.

Ji Qianning's eyes widened in surprise by his sudden movement, but after a moment, she obediently closed her eyes......

The night is like water......

After kissing, Ji Qianning looked shy, and gently leaned her head on Xuan Qi's shoulder, Xuan Qi unconsciously smiled, and the eyes of the two looked ahead at the same time......

The moonlight sprinkled in the stream, and the crystal water of the stream was like a silver stream. On the other side of the stream, there is lush greenery, and in the middle of the grass and trees is a wooden house, and the walls are crawling with faintly visible roses......

"Xuanqi, I miss the peach blossoms on Lanluo Mountain." Ji Qianning's voice came into Xuan Qi's ears slowly, with a little regret, "At this time, I'm afraid I will lose early." ”

Yes, after four years of separation, the peach blossoms on Lanluo Mountain have bloomed four times, Jingdu and Jifu seem to have been in their memories for a long time, and even her brother can only appear in dreams, at this moment, she is homesick more than ever......

"When the war is over, I will accompany you back to Jingdu."

"Hmm." Ji Qianning looked at him with a smile on her face.

……

The army led by Ling Chengzhi, after losing in Meizhou and other places one after another, retreated to Kowloon City in order to preserve its strength.

Kowloon City is the most important city in the northwest of Beiyue, after this city, but a hundred miles is a primeval forest that stretches for several miles, through this forest, and then cross dozens of miles of grassland to the border of Daxin.

Therefore, the strategic location of Kowloon City is important, the city itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with Ling Chengzhi's order to rebuild the fortifications, for a time, Kowloon City is impregnable.

For two months in a row, the Chiyan army was repeatedly defeated, and even if every once in a while, the rest of the troops of Chiyan and Beiyue came here to assemble, they still could not attack for a long time, and suffered heavy casualties.

Xuan Qi led the army to attack Kowloon City and stationed more than fifty miles away from the city.

Xuan Yi and Su Yi were ordered to travel back and forth between the front line and Meizhou to transport the wounded.

In the blink of an eye, it was June, the weather was unusually hot, and the huge sun hung in the sky and scorched the earth, and the hearts of the people who roasted were anxious.

In Meizhou City, a woman's figure was busy in a big house, she wiped the sweat beads on her forehead from time to time, and then bandaged the wounds of the wounded.

She raised her eyes to look out the window, and the dazzling sunlight immediately made her raise her hand to protect her eyes, and she was worried: "Xuan Qi has been leaving Meizhou for more than ten days this time, and there has been no good news so far, I don't know how?" ”

"Ah......h

Ji Qianning turned around to check, Xu is hot weather, the wound on his leg was not treated in time, and it had suppurated at the moment, her brows suddenly wrinkled together, and she quickly ran to call the military doctor. There was a lack of anesthesia in the army, Ji Qianning watched as the military doctor removed the purulent bad flesh on the man's leg, re-medicated and bandaged the wound, the man wailed heartbreakingly, Ji Qianning was sad to hear it, and was even more upset, but she still smiled and comforted the injured soldiers, picked up the pu fan and fanned it gently, subtracting a trace of heat for them.

Suddenly, a man broke in, pretending to be messy, sweat on his face was like rain, obviously coming all the way, he panted and patrolled left and right, and suddenly saw Ji Qianning in the corner, hurriedly ran over and grabbed her wrist, didn't say anything, and directly dragged her out of the house.

Ji Qianning didn't react for a while, and waited until outside the house to see the person who came, seeing him so flustered, she had a bad premonition in her heart: "Eleven, what's wrong?" ”

Xuan Yi suddenly stopped his rapid steps, turned around and didn't dare to look directly into Ji Qianning's eyes: "Brother Wang......" He was speechless for a while.

Ji Qianning read the sadness in his eyes, and she suddenly felt panicked in her heart: "Something's wrong?" She cautiously tested, but inwardly she expected his denial.

Xuan Yi lowered his head and did not answer.

Ji Qianning's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, her eyes were a little sour, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself: "Where is it now?" Even so, the voice was still a little shaky.

"Twenty miles from the city." Xuan Yi looked at Ji Qianning and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"Take me there." Ji Qianning's tone was eager, and she tightened the corner of her clothes.

Xuan Yi nodded. After a while, the two of them quickly stepped onto the horse led by the attendant.

"Drive." With a loud shout, the horse stepped into the dust and mist, and walked out of the city at great speed. Without resting, they walked twenty miles in one go, no matter how scorching the sun was.

Ji Qianning saw from a distance that the camp was divided into two clearly visible parts, heavily guarded between the two places, and when she arrived outside the camp, she jumped off her horse directly and quickly ran inside, wiping the sweat off her face with her sleeves as she ran. But at the same time, she wondered in her heart: in such a hot weather, why did so many guards cover their faces with thick veils? Before she had time to think about it, she rushed past the guards and ran straight inside.

Xuan Yi caught up with her and took her quickly to a big tent, at this time, Su Yi and Dark Night came to meet each other and hurriedly saluted the two.

Ji Qianning saw that the two of them were also covering their faces with a veil, and at the same time, Su Yi also handed himself a veil: "Girl, please wear this." ”

Ji Qianning took it, and was even more puzzled in her heart: "Su Yi, why is this?" ”

Su Yi's brows suddenly furrowed together, and his eyebrows were full of sadness: "Back girl, there is a sudden plague in the army, it is fierce and spreads very quickly, and more than 300 officers and soldiers in our army have been infected with this disease. ”

"Is there any medicine to solve it?"

Su Yi shook his head and looked lost: "It's not an epidemic that I usually see, there is no cure for it so far, the infected person will be dying in a short time, if the person is in poor health, within a few days, he will die of respiratory failure, and now, more than 100 people in the army have died." ”

When Ji Qianning heard this, she suddenly had a hint of ominous premonition, she turned to look at Xuan Yi: "Eleven, it's not, your brother Wang is also ......."

"Hmm." Xuan Yi's voice was muffled, "Even Su Wei and them are." ”

Before Ji Qianning could finish the second half of the sentence, she turned around and lifted her skirt, and ran towards the tent at great speed, Xuan Yi immediately put on a veil and followed Su Yi and Dark Night after him.

As soon as he entered the big tent, a pungent smell of medicine came to his face, Ji Qianning just saw Xuan Qi lying on the couch, raised his feet and prepared to pass, but was stopped by a military doctor with a heavy veil: "Girl, this disease is dangerous, don't get close." ”

"My lord, how is Your Highness now?" Ji Qianning hurriedly saluted the military doctor, and then her eyes were fixed on Xuan Qi, full of worry, and she wanted to rush to his couch immediately.

The military doctor put down the hand that stopped Ji Qianning, turned around and sighed helplessly: "In the past two days, His Highness has had a continuous high fever, and he couldn't wake up this morning, and he vomited after waking up for a short time, but fortunately, His Highness has a firm willpower." ”

Ji Qianning's throat was a little dry, her clenched fists trembled slightly, and she didn't care about anything else, and walked towards Xuan Qi.

"Sister-in-law." Xuan Yi's voice of stopping sounded in the back.

Ji Qianning stopped, put on the veil, turned around and nodded slightly to him, and then walked in front of Xuan Qi in two or three steps.

Xuan Qi on the couch was wearing a white bedgown, his chest was slightly open, revealing his fair skin, several faintly visible scars were hidden under the clothes, and a large area of his chest was soaked with sweat. His black hair was held back with an inky ribbon, his face was pale, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his brows were wrinkled together in pain, and his lips were cracked into a few small cuts.

Ji Qianning looked distressed......
