Beiyue Chapter 55 Obsession
The bright moon illuminates the woman's confused state of mind and illuminates the way forward at night.
As the heat of the day recedes, a fresh breeze blows across your cheeks.
Two horses galloped from afar, broke through the darkness, rushed out of the moonlit earth, and quickly disappeared into the night in the direction of Kowloon City.
Even though the heat dissipated a lot, even if there was a breeze blowing, but all the way to the rush, the two of them were still sweating hot.
Suddenly, only a neighing was heard, and the horse raised its front hooves and fell to the ground, obediently stopping where it was.
"Who?" The two men stopped their galloping horses and looked behind them.
A man and a horse came slowly from the night, and Ji Qianning and the dark night saw the people clearly through the moonlight.
"Eleven."
"Your Highness."
It was Xuan Yi who came in the dark night, and he shouted quite aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law." ”
Ji Qianning frowned: "Eleven, didn't you want to stay and take care of Your Highness, why did you come with you again?" ”
Xuan Yi pursed his lips, a little unhappy: "Brother Wang has someone to take care of, I am just worried about you, so I quietly followed." ”
"There is a dark night, it will be fine, be obedient, go back quickly." Ji Qianning comforted him, this time, there was more than luck, and she couldn't let a child be in danger.
"Sister-in-law, just let me go."
The first time Ji Qianning saw Xuan Yi being coquettish, she looked disgusted, she had goosebumps, turned her head to look at the dark night beside her, and shrugged her shoulders, his tone made her unable to refuse: "That's it, let's follow." ”
Hearing this, Xuan Yi suddenly put on a smile and took a few steps forward to walk side by side with them.
The dark night on the side held back a smile and just watched quietly.
"Sister-in-law, your body?" Xuan Yi knew that she had deliberately come into contact with Brother Wang, and she was a little worried.
"I don't know if I can catch the epidemic, but now I can't care about anything else, so I will hurry first." Ji Qianning laughed at herself in her heart, this was the first time she was so looking forward to her illness.
Xuan Yi felt a little sorry for her, sure enough, the woman who could make the Sixth King Brother like was a world of difference between those vulgar fans in Biancheng who only knew how to compete for beauty, and in his heart, her image gradually became taller.
This time, the three of them hurried and walked for a day and two nights, except for occasional rest, they were basically on the road. The journey was supposed to take three days, but by the night of the next day, it was less than 40 miles from Kowloon City.
The horse that was originally galloping suddenly slowed down, and after a while, Ji Qianning fell from the horse. Xuan Yi and Dark Night heard the movement, and quickly stopped, jumped off the horse, and ran towards her.
Ji Qianning heard their footsteps, propped up her upper body, and stopped: "Be careful, wear a veil." ”
The two nodded, took out a thick veil from their arms and put it on their faces, and then walked over to help her up, through the clothes, Xuan Yi felt the heat of her body, he frowned, although it was a planned thing, but it was true, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Sister-in-law, offended." ”
He put his hand on her forehead, and the hot immediately retracted. At this time, Ji Qianning's face was flushed, her breathing became heavy, and her whole body was soft, and she couldn't use her strength.
"Night, how far is it?" Ji Qianning took a deep breath and cheered up her heart, she couldn't fall, she must persevere.
Dark Night looked around and whispered, "Estimate thirty miles." ”
Ji Qianning laughed, excited: "It's almost over." She struggled to her feet, "By the way, is there a problem with the secret guards in Kowloon City?" ”
The dark night helped her to her feet: "Everything is normal. ”
"Very good, Eleven, Dark Night, just send me half more, don't let the Daxin people find out your whereabouts, get the medicine, I will immediately let the dark guard find the machine and send it out." Ji Qianning might have made it easy for her to speak.
"But sister-in-law, your body?" Xuan Yi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I can hold it." Ji Qianning laughed, this will, even if it doesn't work, you have to do it.
She used her internal force to breathe her body, endured the high fever, and jumped on the horse under the gaze of the two.
After a while, she began to feel sleepy, the whole person was a little confused, and the speed of moving forward became slower and slower, but she still persisted, and after a gust of wind, she was a little sober, trying to cheer herself up.
"I knew that this disease was dangerous, but I still didn't expect it to be so ferocious." She laughed at her recklessness in her heart, and suddenly felt Xuan Qi's pain, which also strengthened her determination to see Ling Chengzhi. She was filled with a force that had sustained her all the way to Kowloon City.
Xuan Yi and Dark Night were worried that Ji Qianning would fall off her horse again, so they followed her all the way, carefully watching her every move.
Waiting three miles away from Kowloon City, under Ji Qianning's repeated urging, although Xuan Yi and Dark Night couldn't bear to leave her alone to face everything, they could only helplessly turn the horse's head and slowly disappear into the night.
They believed her.
……
The majestic Kowloon City is tightly wrapped in two mountain ranges, like a baby sleeping in a cradle.
"Who?" When it was almost ugly, the already sleepy defenders heard the sound of horses' hooves and immediately came to their senses, and they clenched their weapons tightly, and all the archers were ready to shoot at any time on the tower. Their commander looked down at the tower, and by the moonlight, a man and a horse stopped outside the moat, and he shouted to stop.
At this time, Ji Qianning was alone, the fever had not subsided, her consciousness was still quite clear, she opened her mouth and did not make a sound, a sharp arrow pierced the night and came straight at her, her body leaned back, and when the arrow continued to press, she turned around and caught it with her bare hands.
She covered her chest and coughed, several sharp arrows came from the original direction, she sank her eyes, and waved the arrow in her hand to the ground a few times.
Poor her, coughing more and more violently.
"Who made you?" The commander on the tower of the city was furious, and before he could give the order, some soldiers shot arrows, and then three in a row, and six or seven people followed, "All stop for Lao Tzu, and when the situation is investigated, it is not too late to kill." ”
"Who's coming, reply quickly."
Ji Qianning heard the voice from afar on the city tower, held back her cough, and shouted: "My lord, please inform the third prince, Ji Qianning please see." ”
"What, shout back."
Ji Qianning sighed helplessly, and shouted upstairs with all her strength: "My lord, please inform the third prince immediately, and Ji Qianning please see." ”
After a while, she couldn't hold it anymore, and her eyes went dark, and she fell off her horse.
"Ji Qianning? Want to see the third prince? The commander asked the people around him for confirmation.
"Yes, sir."
The commander suddenly thought that it was rumored in the army that His Royal Highness was dumped by a woman surnamed Ji a few months ago, but I don't know if this is it? Thinking of this, he looked in the direction of Ji Qianning again, vaguely saw her falling from the horse, shouted in his heart that it was not good, and quickly turned around and ran downstairs in the city.
He wants to see His Highness immediately, but he can't let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
In less than half an hour, the torches suddenly lit up to the sky, only to hear a few sounds of iron chains touching steel rings to break the silence of the night, the suspension bridge on the city gate slowly fell, and finally calmly set up on the moat, and then, after a dull sound, the city gate slowly opened, and a horse drove out of the city at great speed, stepped across the suspension bridge, and stopped beside Ji Qianning.
The dozens of cavalry behind him also stopped one after another.
It turned out that Ling Chengzhi rushed to hear the news.
He quickly jumped off the horse, leaned down, and by the light of the torch, although the woman on the ground was wearing a veil, the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows was exposed, and Ling Chengzhi recognized her at a glance.
"Xiao Ning, this king said that you will definitely come to me." He was snickering in his heart.
Summer's clothes were light, and as soon as he put his arm on her, he immediately felt a surge of heat, he frowned, and reached out to attach his hand to her forehead: "It's so badly burned?" When she lifted her veil, she saw that her face was flushed, her breathing was disordered, and a sense of familiarity came over her, and she was immediately put back on the veil.
Picking her up and jumping on the horse, he held her by the hand and the reins with the other, turned the horse's head, and shouted to those behind him before entering the city: "Don't chariot, take the medical officer to the king's dwelling." ”
"No."
As soon as the words were spoken, several horses quickly entered the city, the gates were slowly closed, the drawbridge was slowly raised, and everything was calm, leaving only the moonlight into the quiet moat.
At this time, not far away, the figure hidden in the dark night left with confidence.
……
Ling Chengzhi gently put Ji Qianning on his couch, took the veil handed by the attendant and put it on his face, and reached out to her forehead again: "It's even hotter." He was a little anxious.
At this time, Ji Qianning muttered something in his mouth, and Ling Chengzhi listened to it.
"Brother, Ah Ning misses you, brother ......" she called her brother over and over again.
Ling Chengzhi was a little jealous, but despite this, he still comforted gently: "Brother is here." ”
Hearing his voice, she immediately fell silent.
At this time, Mo Che walked into the house with the military doctor: "I have seen Your Highness." ”
As soon as Ling Chengzhi wanted to get up, Ji Qianning grabbed him: "Brother, don't leave Ah Ning." ”
Ling Chengzhi looked back at her, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and patted her hand gently: "Brother is not leaving." After speaking, let Ji Qianning pull him, he sat in front of the couch and motioned for the military doctor to come over.
The military doctor immediately understood, stepped forward and knelt in front of the couch, took out a silk scarf and put it on Ji Qianning's wrist, and then carefully called her pulse.
"Plague?" Ling Chengzhi's face was like frost, and he suddenly asked the military doctor.
The military doctor raised his hand, withdrew the silk scarf, and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, exactly." ”
"Is the previous plague in the city the same as that contracted by this girl?"
"Back to Your Highness, judging from the pulse, it is the same kind."
"So, go and dispense the medicine quickly." Ling Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there was medicine to solve it.
"No." After the military doctor finished his salute, he respectfully withdrew.
"Your Highness......" Mo Che, who was standing silently not far away, suddenly spoke, wanting to say something.
"Speak."
And Mo Che was a little worried: "Your Highness, the people in the city and within a radius of a few miles have been cured, we sent people to look like the Central Plains, with germs to try to throw themselves into the Chiyan army, the six princes and most of the soldiers contracted this disease, this is undoubtedly great news for us, now, I am afraid that only the epidemic is prevalent in the Chiyan army, this Ji girl must have come from there, with illness to find His Royal Highness, her heart is ......"
Ling Chengzhi raised his hand to stop him: "Chiyan is currently leaderless in the dragons, there is no need to be afraid, Xiao Ning came to me, no matter what her purpose is, as long as she is willing to stay by this king's side, other kings will not care." But don't let your guard down, and if you find anything, tell the king at any time. ”
"No." And Mo Che asked Ling Chengzhi again, "Your Highness, where are Chiyan and Beiyue?" ”
The corners of Ling Chengzhi's mouth raised a sneer: "They have already messed up with themselves, let them be chaotic for a few more days, by the way, how about the people who arranged it?" ”
And Mo Che's face was full of smiles: "Your Highness, that Chiyan pawn is a greedy villain, and a few days ago I came to report that the sixth prince of Chiyan is in critical condition, and I am afraid that his life will not be long." ”
Ling Chengzhi was inexplicably happy in his heart, as soon as he mentioned Xuan Qi, he couldn't wait to break his body into ten thousand pieces, if he really died, he would definitely hold a banquet to reward the three armies and share the joy.
Ling Chengzhi waved his hand, signaled and stepped back.
And Mo Che saluted him and retreated with interest.
When the room was empty, Ling Chengzhi looked at Ji Qianning on the couch, her hand left his hand at some point, he wanted to hold it again, I don't know if it was intentional, she suddenly turned around.
Ling Chengzhi thought she had woken up, leaned forward to take a closer look, and saw that her eyes were closed, her cheeks were red, her breathing was heavy, and she was still in a coma.
He sat back, his thoughts confused.
That year, by the Lanluo River, the moment he made an oath to this woman, the truth was already contained in the pretense, but he finally failed her. When she had the courage to see her heart clearly, she was already in despair. After she fell off the cliff, his heart was distressed for a long time, for more than four years, for many days and nights, he prayed to meet her again......
Obsessed with her heart, now, she can't tell whether she really loves her or the terrible possessiveness, because she is unwilling and just wants to have her.
Beauty, Jiangshan, the more he can't get it, the more he wants to use all means to get it.
"Xiao Ning, as long as you stay by this king's side in the future, this king will give you the best of everything in the world to make up for the debt to you."
