Chapter 12: The One-Eyed

The beauty of jade is flawed, and it does not hide the quality.

Xu He will probably never forget the first time he saw Xuanyuan Jue, his eyes were stained with blood, the only intact eye, three points of resentment, and seven points of hatred. Although his breath was weak, he was still struggling, as if he was dissatisfied with the prey trapped by the hunter's trap, even if he fought to a blur of flesh and blood, and his limbs and limbs were broken, he had to get rid of the thistle terrestris that had penetrated deeply into his muscles and bones.

Many years later, he had seen this thrilling moment again in the Yecheng Palace, but the man no longer struggled, but accepted it with a peaceful smile.

Although the four of them came all the way and were very embarrassed, Xu Xi still recognized the doctor and Xuanyuan Qi, who were very familiar with him on weekdays. Xu Xi looked around vigilantly, making sure that there was nothing abnormal, so he took three steps and two steps, hurriedly stepped forward, and steadily held Wang Xiaoliang, who had exhausted his strength and was crumbling, and Xuanyuan on his back.

"Ahe?! It's you! Great, his eyes were ...... We've been wounded by a wolf, and we've been bleeding on the way, so take us to the doctor! Wang Xiaoliang choked up, he thought, don't look back at everything that happened in the forest today, just think it's a nightmare.

After Xu He took the four of them, he carefully made a special detour, and the group entered the general's tent. The five of them didn't notice it at all, and a masked man in black peeked into it from a bush in the darkness outside the main entrance of the camp.

The grass was low, and the man in black only used his hand to pull away the blade of grass slightly, revealing one eye. After seeing that the five people had indeed entered the camp, the man in black began to make a big move, only to see him struggling to support the ground with two hands, propping it up, and with the increase of the strength in his hands, the man in black actually emerged from the soil little by little!

It turned out that in order to conceal his figure, this well-trained man in black had dug a deep pit under the grass early in the morning when Dan Gonggong arrived, and buried his body below the shoulder with floating soil, so it was no wonder that no one was aware of his presence. When he completely crawled out of the pit, the man in black ran neatly into the dense forest behind him, but at a distance of 100 meters, the sudden firelight made Gonggong Dan and his party, who had just returned home from the barracks, not leave, but waited here for a long time.

"Back to Father-in-law Dan, General Xu's son just met the little prince and them outside the gate, and they entered the camp, is it now...... Poof, cough cough...... "Before the man in black finished speaking, a sharp blade had already pierced from behind him, and he couldn't wait, with the master's uncontrollable invitation to merit, the same as his words. Father-in-law Dan looked at the man in black who had fallen to the ground and was lifeless, and the smile on his face became more and more kind and kind. Dragging his fat and bloated body, Dan Gonggong turned around, glanced down, and smashed his tongue.

"Good boy, it's too late now, the emperor has already rested in the palace, this news, tomorrow, I will personally tell the emperor for you."

After speaking, Father-in-law Dan reluctantly got up, waved his hand, and signaled that the corpse was disposed of as soon as possible. And the next moment, he sat on a chair carried by two people. "Go back to the palace." This time, the voice was deliberately suppressed, as if in this way, it could sound more like the voice of a normal person.

On the other side, in the general's tent, the medical officers, medical women, and all the best gold sore medicines in the entire barracks were all transferred by General Xu's order.

"What do you say?! What does it mean that the pearl is destroyed and there is no hope of regaining sight?! You, you, and you! If you can't cure your eyes, you will be dealt with by military law!! After listening to the trembling statements of several medical officers, General Xu's fiery temper overcame the calmness of General Gyeonggi, but fortunately, it was only temporary, and the trembling small bodies of several medical officers were not pulled by General Xu's collar and thrown out.

At this moment, lying on the couch, Xuanyuan Jue, who only had one intact eye left, was using it to look straight at the ceiling of the tent, I don't know if it was due to the illusion of pain, or other reasons, Xuanyuan Jue felt that his right eye also began to have a faint pain, and even a little blurred. Although he was lying down here, the quarrel between General Xu and the medical officer, word by word, did not miss a single word, and they all listened to his ears. He knew that not only was his left eye hopeless, but if he didn't make a quick decision at this time, even his right eye would be blind in a short time due to the effects of the wolf venom that spread from his left eye.

No, he must not be blind......

But in the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan made another decision and made the choice he regretted the least in his life, but also the most regrettable.

"Xu He, Qi'er and Princess Scarlet are frightened and hungry, you can take them out to rest." When Xu Xi heard this, he didn't say too much, took the two out and went to sit down by the fire outside a military tent far away. "Sir, please ask General Xu and the medical officers to bring me a few jars of spirits." Wang Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xuanyuan Xuan's face, resolute, extremely resolute. Although he had only known Xuanyuan for two days, he also knew that this kid must be dead at this moment, and no one could change his mind.

Wang Xiaoliang moved quickly, and General Xu and the medical officers prepared everything one after another and entered the camp tent in less than a moment.

It was no longer a dim candlelight, I don't know how many times brighter the surroundings, it was obviously night, but now it was as bright as day. Xuanyuan was still a little uncomfortable with such a shining light, and his right eye narrowed slightly, looking at the blade that was being held by the medical officer and placed on the candle flame and was burning. After all, he was still a little scared in his heart, and Xuanyuan Jue's hand holding the wine bowl was still trembling slightly.

The liquor burned his throat, and a bowl of it had already made Xuanyuan a little dizzy. Long pain is better than short pain, Xuanyuan slowly closed his right eye, "Do it!" ”

Pain!!!

I don't know how many times the pain is worse than when I was injured! Obviously he had already drunk the liquor, Xuanyuan could still really feel the thin blade cutting in inch by inch, cutting through his muscles, and for a moment, he felt that the place where his left eye was originally located was empty, and he knew that this once belonged to a part of his body, but now it was just a dead thing. The familiar pain was still haunting him, and before the medical officer could deal with it next, the voice that had been suppressed for a long time finally poured out all at once.

"Ahhh!!h Xuanyuan pushed away the medical officer who was about to sprinkle him with hemostatic powder and gold sore medicine, and rushed straight to the spirits. Unsealing the wine, there was no need for a wine bowl, Xuanyuan raised his head and drank, swallowing a lot of wine, which was directly soaked in his clothes. It hurts, it hurts to the extreme, it doesn't hurt anymore. Xuanyuan poured the wine directly into the wound that was already a blood hole. Restless, it was clear that he was almost fainting in pain, but Xuanyuan poured liquor on it again and again.

"Hahaha!!" With a wild smile and a strange look, the left half of Xuanyuan Jue's face was painfully distorted, but the right half of his face was smiling. "Bang!" One didn't grasp it steadily, and the wine jar fell from Xuanyuan Jue's hand to the ground and shattered into several pieces. And he himself fainted, unconscious. General Xu, who had just taken the opportunity to knock Xuanyuan unconscious, hurriedly helped him back to the couch lightly. "What are you doing in a daze! Don't hurry up and bandage the prince! ”

In the middle of the night, the breeze and drizzle, the coolness passed the tiger camp.

Although the wound has been carefully bandaged and the bleeding has stopped, the pain will not fade away. Tossing and turning, Xuanyuan Xuan, who couldn't sleep, simply got up from the couch, he subconsciously looked in a familiar direction, the tent was pitch black, and General Xu was not there, but there were still a few jars of spirits left for him by the couch.

"Ahem, cough ......" took a big sip of wine, drank too quickly, and Xuanyuan coughed lightly again and again. The whispers of the soldiers outside the tent were casually listened to by Xuanyuan as if they were appetizers.

"I heard that it's the prince lying inside?"

"Phew! What kind of prince is this? How can the future emperor of my Xuanguo be a one-eyed dragon?! ”

Sneering and terrifying. A knife that must be avenged, first slit the soldier's throat, so that he could no longer speak, another knife, gouging out the soldier's eyes, and finally, a knife dragging mud and water, stirring his internal organs......

"Brother......" A soft ball suddenly pounced, and the fleshy little hand gently stroked the wound on his face. Like waking up from a dream, Xuanyuan was stunned, it turned out that Fang Cai's cruel and unbearable self was just an illusion. But the little dot in his arms is a real existence.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a familiar arc, Xuanyuan didn't speak, but just held the red bean in his arms as always. The hoarse shouting and uncontrolled drinking had made his throat hoarse now, like a stone slicing through another.

The two men snuggled up to each other and slept, and neither of them spoke.

Many years later, in the midst of a raging fire, Xuanyuan remembered this scene for a moment, his "little brother" who had concealed his identity as a daughter for many years, curled up in his arms like a kitten, but his hand was tightly grasping his collar and refused to let go for a long time......
