Chapter 266: Petals Hidden by Blood
The north wind suddenly calmed down, and the snowflakes, which had not been seen for a long time, slowly fell down. The white petals fell, cold, and fell on Yue Shao'an's shoulders, slid down, and fell on Wan Yanxiang's face, melting and mixing with tears.
Yue Shao'an hugged Wan Yanxiang, stepped out of the carriage cautiously, ignored Liu Ruyan's worried eyes, and walked straight towards the city defenders who had already arrived quickly.
The city guard came in a hurry with people, but in such a cold weather, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and his face was pale, thinking that the beads of sweat should be a cold sweat that scared out.
Seeing that the city defenders were about to march closer, Wan Yanxiang suddenly stopped crying, turned her head and stared at the city guards fiercely: "Stop, don't come." At this time, he was still worried that something would happen to Yue Shao'an, in fact, the city guards no longer dared to suspect Yue Shao'an at this time, as long as he didn't come, Yue Shao'an was safe. However, Wan Yanxiang didn't dare to let them come closer, and if she could threaten Yue Shao'an, even if it was a little possible, she didn't want to leave the other party a chance.
"Xiangxiang, don't be willful." Yue Shao'an looked at her with pain, and said with an unusually gentle gaze: "They should have come to take you to heal your injuries." ”
"You go!" Wan Yanxiang bit her lip, stared at him tightly and said, "My fourth brother is here, you really can't leave." ”
"I'm not important!" Yue Shao'an squatted down, held her in his arms, freed up one hand, stroked her cheek, shook his head and said, "Now, your injury is the most important. ”
"You go, I'll stay!" Wan Yanxiang shrunk her body into his arms and bit his hand violently, the lower bite was extremely heavy, and blood seeped out from between her teeth. Yue Shao'an frowned, but he didn't move, letting her bite like this. Wan Yanxiang slowly opened her small mouth, smiled slightly, but tears still fell down her face, her little hand grabbed his hand, raised it in front of her eyes to look at the neat row of tooth marks, and said softly: "Does it hurt?" ”
"It hurts!" He replied honestly: "However, it is nothing compared to your pain." ”
"I'm just going to make you hurt ......" she suddenly cried, "Who told you to keep me...... I'll go back, but you can't come along, or I'll hate you, I'll hate you......"
With that, she struggled to stand up, pushed Yue Shao'an's hand away, and walked towards the city defenders. Looking at her thin figure, swaying, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow her down, Yue Shaoxin was tight, and just about to rush forward to help her, but was grabbed by the arm by the one that followed.
He looked back and saw Liu Ruyan with tears in his eyes, watching him slowly shake his head. Yue Shaoan retracted his steps, clenched his fists, and quietly looked at Wan Yanxiang's figure, his body trembling slightly.
"What the fuck, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go find the guy and carry the princess back? The city keeper scolded fiercely, and he ran forward first. With the soldiers, he helped the princess towards the city.
"Xiangxiang-" Looking at Yan Xiang's figure gradually moving away, Yue Shaoan shouted violently: "You wait, I will come to you......"
Listening to the voice, Wan Yanxiang Huoran turned her head and watched Yue Shaoan put her hands on her lips, leaned forward, and screamed loudly, she closed her eyes and turned her head in pain, she didn't dare to respond to him, afraid that once she talked to him again, she would not have the courage to leave him, and she was afraid that she would delay his trip and be chased by the fourth brother.
The city gate slowly closed, thinking that it was the meaning of Wanyanxiang. Yue Shaoan's expression was gloomy, if he took her away at this time, he would undoubtedly gamble with her life, he didn't dare to gamble, because he couldn't afford to lose.
"Let's go." Liu Ruyan pulled his arm and said, "Don't let Xiangxiang's thoughts go to waste, as long as you're okay, you can still come to her sooner or later." ”
Yue Shao'an glanced up at her, nodded, the red horse on the side, Wan Yanxiang stayed, Yue Shao'an took the horse, gently stroked its mane, looked back gloomily, retracted his gaze, turned over on the horse, and reached out to drag Liu Ruyan onto the horse.
Niu Ren had already recovered from the shock, and was no longer in the mood to study the arrow, so he unloaded the carriage and rode on horseback, although he had no saddle, but he didn't care if he was a skilled horseman.
Yue Shao'an clamped his legs and rode away, Liu Ruyan hugged his waist tightly. Niu Ren followed closely and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Drops of red, plum blossom-like traces all the way to the city, slowly, were obscured by the falling snowflakes.
……
……
Wan Yan Xiang had already been sent to the palace master for treatment, and Wan Yan Man was standing in front of the city gate at this time, looking at the city guard with a gloomy face, listening to his explanation.
"Your Highness, I just wanted to stop that person, but I didn't expect to injure the princess by mistake, and I deserve death for the crime of humiliation, please punish Your Highness." The city defender knelt on the ground tremblingly, bowed his head, and said.
"What about people?" Wan Yan Man snorted coldly.
The city guard was full of excitement, and said stubbornly: "If the princess is not blocked, she will not dare to disobey her order." ”
"Don't dare to stop it." Wan Yan stared at him with full eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate his body: "Then you dare to hurt the princess?" ”
The city guard lay on the ground and didn't dare to say a word, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, because the four princes had never shown favoritism in governing the army, and although he had accidentally injured the princess today, his heart and ambition were good. But after all, it was the princess who was injured by mistake, and he didn't expect himself to be unpunished, he just wanted to keep his head, and he didn't plan to ask for an official position.
"Someone!" Wanyan shouted in a faint voice.
"The subordinates are here!" The soldiers who had already been waiting on the side bowed forward.
"Beat the man who released the arrows with fifty military sticks, and take them into custody for the time being, and wait for the princess's injuries to be stabilized, and then send them down."
"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and left, and after a while, they heard a miserable howl from there.
Wan Yanman glanced at the voice, and then, his eyes moved to the city guard. Seeing it, he only had hair in his heart, and he didn't know how the four princes were going to deal with him, listening to the scream, he was so scared in his heart that sweat was already soaking his back.
Fifty military sticks down, that archer is estimated to have half a life left, who doesn't know that the military sticks of the four princes' personal soldiers are the most powerful, if they wait a while, they will also suffer such a military stick, and they don't know whether to resist or not.
Just when the city defender was worried in his heart, Wan Yanman waved his hand and said, "Take him down, take care of him, and send him down with the man who released the arrow." ”
The two soldiers came up and pulled the city guard away, his face was gloomy, and he only begged the princess to be okay, looking at this result, if something happened to the princess, his life would be gone.
"Haruz." Wanman's slightly tired voice sounded.
Haruci, who was standing beside him, hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Highness......"
"The defense of the South Gate, you should take care of it first." Wan Yanman patted Haruci on the shoulder.
Haruci was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Yes!" Then, he said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the one who fled? ”
"Since Xiangxiang used her life to save him, let him go." Wanyan said flatly: "I should meet him again on the battlefield, this time, I will give my sister a face, next time, see who saved him." ”
Haruci shuddered suddenly, following His Highness for so long, he knew that the more bland words with a hint of coldness in them, the more his Highness was very angry, and he knew that the fourth prince was already extremely angry, so he didn't dare to answer again, just quietly followed behind him.
"Yue Shao'an-" Wanyan slowly spit out three words......
