I'm here to pick you up
()
Outside-
The fire burned the entire Heavenly Prison Gate, and the blood on the sword had completely covered the cold light, but the forbidden army was still pouring in from all directions.
Compel.
Asymptotic.
In his life, he rarely used a sword.
Once trusted by the emperor and when he ascended the throne at a young age, he knew that the emperor used his wisdom and brain to calm the country all his life, but he rarely really killed people with his sword. He had always known that this was the lowest way to force people to submit, but now, this lowest way could not save even the people he loved the most.
When she went out in the early morning, Shu Lan knelt on the ground and pleaded, even her forehead was bleeding, saying that my Chu country can do without Master Xi, but I can't do without the emperor, so even if Hua Xixi really dies in Jing Kingdom, I can't let Chu Yeqian take the risk in person.
Take a look.
That's just a palace maid.
But she is such a wise and atmospheric palace maid.
Chu Yeyan smiled lightly, faintly charming, her thin white lips opened lightly, and only spit out four words that fluttered lightly: "I will try ......"
Try it.
Even if you are alone in Jingguo.
Even if there is no right time and place at this moment.
But he never forgot why he came here, if it wasn't for her, how could he personally try the danger, how could he know how fierce and sinister wolf ambitions there would be outside the peaceful and prosperous Chu State?
So here he comes.
With his own hands, he used the sword in his hand to save her.
Miyagi made a big noise.
Xiao Xi'er in prison is not stupid, seeing the bright sky outside and the murderous aura and noise getting closer and closer, she knows that the sky is as strong as iron, even if it is not easy to rob the prison in an environment she is familiar with, let alone in a strange place, there is no order, and there is no way out.
The firelight illuminated her little face.
The little hand was about to break the steel bar, and the lower lip bit blood, and Xiao Xi'er stared at the outside of the prison with a pale face, just hoping that he would go. Hurry up.
The sound of the "......" sword broke through the air fiercely, cutting the flesh and blood!!
In the misty sky, outside the prison, the forbidden army outflanked it with a strong crossbow......
The navy blue cloak had been cut through a deep gap, and crimson blood gushed out, snaking along the arm, falling to the ground, drop after drop......
Chu Yeqi's handsome face was pale, and he took a step back, feeling that the entire imperial city of Jing Kingdom was alarmed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take her away at this moment today.
The corners of Junyi's lips were raised, evoking a pale but warm smile.
Creation makes people.
That day, Jing Gexuan was burned, knowing that Zhong Liye would search for her whereabouts in the entire palace, so he took advantage of such a vacancy to rescue Chu Wan first, but at the same time, he knew so deeply that he was careless...... All hands are lost.
Now that I have this thing in my heart, I am afraid that it will be like this, and it will be left in Jingguo.
The flames are blazing......
The sound of the forbidden army on the periphery shook the sky and outflanked them......
The long, tall figure held a blood-dripping sword in his hand, his thick eyelashes drooped, and with a wave of his navy blue cloak, he leaned over slightly, and gently released something from his cuffs.
His slender fingers were still stained with blood, and against the background of the navy blue cloak and white snowflakes, he was bewitching and charming, and the pale smile at the corner of his mouth hooked the soul of a person.
Faintly visible, the thing was a small fluffy rabbit, small ears stretched out in his palm, and a red strip of cloth still on his feet, when he fell in the snow, he suddenly stood up, shook off the snowflakes on his body and ran inside with some breath, and rushed into the prison through the firelight.
Chu Yeqian raised his eyes, glanced at him with a deep smile, and walked away with the cute little thing.
In his ears, the sound of killing shook the sky.
……
When the little rabbit arrived at the door of Xiao Xi'er's cell, he arched a few times and then slipped through the iron bar.
Xiao Xi'er was stunned, her eyes were red, and after a while, she reacted and suddenly fell down and picked up the small rabbit that was only as big as a human palm, its bright eyes stared directly at Xiao Xi'er, and her fluffy little paws were tied with red strips of cloth.
"......" Xiao Xi'er trembled and untied the strip of cloth to look at it.
After reading it by the firelight outside, her whole body suddenly sat down cross-legged, as if the rock in her heart had fallen suddenly, and her whole heart warmed.
The fire was still burning.
Half a moment later, the outside seemed to calm down, someone came to inspect what was going on, Xiao Xi'er pricked up his ears to listen, and heard the man say that someone robbed the prison and killed a large number of people, but the man was also seriously injured, and the prison robbery failed but let the man escape.
Ha.
Xiao Xi'er silently clenched the red cloth strips, covered her stomach, and laughed with tears in her eyes.
Ran.
Of course he ran.
He is Chu Yeqi, how can he be trapped so lightly?!
Knowing that he couldn't rescue her at this moment, he would naturally not be stupid enough to be captured alive here, let alone leave the huge Chu State and his subjects alone!
No one knows how he escaped.
Except for her...... No one knew how he had escaped, and no one knew what had been written on the strip of cloth he had brought to her from the little rabbit.
"If you can't, you will be here for the time being. If you don't do it, I will follow. ”
These simple eight words, in the past, she couldn't figure out what it meant even if she broke her little head, but when people were about to die, they seemed to become smarter, she read it word by word, and tears of emotion and happiness rose in her clear eyes.
He said.
I'm afraid I won't be able to take you away at this time, Xi'er, you stay here and wait for me.
If one day, you are killed in Jing because of this, then whether you live or die, I will go with you.
The country of Chu is so big that it cannot be without a king for a day.
If he sits on the throne of the king for one day, he must shoulder the responsibility of rejuvenating the country and securing the country.
Before the country is in danger, he Chu Yeqi's life and death cannot be manipulated by himself.
So wait.
When this shocking catastrophe passes, when the Chu State survives this crisis, and when the people of the Chu State are saved from fire and water, then his life and death can be controlled by himself.
Outside, the flames shook the sky.
Xiao Xi'er got up, her eyes flashed brightly, and she ran to the mouth of the railing, holding the iron fence tightly with her little hands, looking outside, except for the sound of anger and chaos that could not catch people, there was nothing else.
She laughed.
It was quiet at first, but then it laughed loudly and excitedly.
The little velvet rabbit was stunned, hidden in Chu Ye's cuffs for a long time and still had a docile temperament, this time the two hind feet squatted down on the ground, and found a big peanut that I didn't know where to get it, and the three-petal mouth leaned over and sniffed it and gnawed it.
That's probably its reward for completing the mission.
It never knew what great things it had done.
This night, Xiao Xi'er slept so peacefully, so stable that she surpassed the pain of life and death, and felt that she had no regrets in this life.
That's right.
What more could you ask for.
**********
On the third day of the army's departure.
Xiao Xi'er leaned against a pile of thatch and bit a steamed bun when he listened to the jailer outside, saying that the emperor of Chu didn't expect it to be so powerful, no wonder he couldn't find him after the entire imperial city was cleared, guess what?
The little jailer who listened to the gossip was aroused, and his bright eyes leaned over and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Hey!" The old jailer slapped his thigh and said, "He actually escaped by hiding in the army of our Jing Kingdom going south!" ”
Who would have thought that the most dangerous place would be the safest place?
Zhong Liye only expected that he would not escape from the palace, but he didn't want to be mixed into his own army, so he followed the army to the Chu State, and maybe he was reporting to the Praetorian Guards of the Chu State along the way.
The little jailer was stunned and stupid! It's like hearing a myth like never before.
Xiao Xi'er's little face showed a sweet smile and continued to nibble on steamed buns.
The little velvet rabbit snuggled at her feet, hungry, and her bright eyes stared at Xiao Xi'er.
Xiao Xi'er broke off the steamed bun and handed it to it, it looked at it in a daze, leaned over to sniff, and squatted down to look at her, not eating.
"Then I don't have anything else, if you don't eat, you'll starve to death!" She frowned at it.
But it's only strange if it can understand it.
"Okay," Xiao Xi'er squatted down and smoothed its fluff, "Don't look at me down-and-out now, when we go back to Chu in the future, we will ensure that you eat and drink spicy food, and you must be right to follow me!" Bahahaha......"
"Squeak", unexpectedly, before she finished laughing, the outside cell door was pushed open.
Who??
Xiao Xi'er was scared, remembered the lesson of the last time, picked up the velvet rabbit and stuffed it into her cuffs, fortunately, it was very docile and well-behaved, and it didn't move or make trouble when it was stuffed inside.
Three or two shadows fluttered in, tender and charming.
"Ouch......"
"Tsk, what kind of place is this......"
"That's it, if you go away and dye my clothes, can you afford to pay for it......"
"Ouch, why does it stink so much......"
Xiao Xi'er's little face was dark, sweaty, Nima's, don't think about it now, she can guess who they are with her toes.
Really.
The three or two shadows that shook in were all concubines of Zhongli's night harem, and the embarrassing appearance of being half-spoiled was just enough to bully people.
"Tut, sister, what am I telling you, this place is not suitable for our sisters, you see, we wanted to come over to see if this phoenix in distress is still beautiful, but what do you see now?? Hahaha......" The concubine covered her mouth and smiled, looking at her with disdainful and cold eyes, "It's really a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, you look at her dirty appearance, where can it match the glimpse at the banquet at that time...... Hahaha......"
"It's just ......"
In the echo of a group of people, the leader must have taken the lead, and she sneered and said, "If you are locked up here for a few days...... Think it will be stronger than this virtue? Or is it worse than this one of virtues?? ”
As soon as these words came out, the ridicule immediately weakened, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she followed behind her.
Finished.
Xiao Xi'er "chuckled" in her heart.
When you meet someone who is not brainless, first show favor and then put you to death, that is definitely a master.
The slender figure took two steps forward and said softly, "Are you Hua Xixi?" ”
Xiao Xi'er sighed, stood up and swept the straw on her body, and replied crisply: "I am!" ”
That figure, although not tall, has the unique petite and agile nature of a southern woman, the waist can be palmed in one hand, and the outline of the small face is also a charming state that captivates the country and the city.
Heh, who said that a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken??
The woman glanced at her coldly, and continued to say softly, "I am Concubine Rong." ”
"Oh." Her little face tilted over and replied lightly.
Concubine Rong smiled, bent down to pick up the bowl of hot water on the ground, and said, "The sky is dry and cold in this prison, so my sister might as well come over and drink saliva to warm up her body." ”
Drink??
Your sister, am I an animal?? Need you to carry water to feed me??
When others saw that she was silent, their anger immediately rushed up: "Hua Xixi, you are so bold, you don't even give my sister Rongfei face, do you know that this is the first concubine in our Jing Kingdom to be pregnant with an imperial heir!" Even King Jing has to be pampered and protected, where did you come from to dare to despise your sister so much! ”
Xiao Xi'er sighed, and a small cloud of mist rose in the cold dungeon, seductive.
A pair of clear water eyes swept over, and she said crisply: "She is King Jing's darling, and I am King Jing's prisoner; She loves King Jing, and I hate King Jing; Now that she's come to give me comfort, I'm going to lean over and be thankful, are you all in your head? What do you think about things? ”
The concubine who was scolded for being suddenly turned red, and her hand trembled and pointed at her: "You...... You, you, you......"
Concubine Rong swept her cuffs lightly and said coldly, "You step down." ”
The concubine retreated resentfully, and Concubine Rong laughed, still waiting for her with the bowl of water in her hand.
Xiao Xi'er was helpless, she was really thirsty, the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, and walked over and wanted to hold it with her little hand, but she didn't want Concubine Rong's eyes to be cold, and suddenly "splashed" the hot and steaming water on her face!!
"......" The hot water poured down from the top of her head, washing her little face, which was a little dirty.
Of course, it was also burned red.
This loss is a little too big.
Concubine Rong didn't have the slightest apology, raised her chin gracefully, and said softly: "Now you come to see this Xi girl, just washing her face, is she out of the ordinary, the country and the city?" ”
All the concubines were stunned, and only then reacted at this moment, happy and angry, and almost clapped happily for a while, the difficult concubine just now simply laughed out loud, leaned over and said: "Ouch, then I have to take a good look, this little girl is really born to be loved and pitiful, but what's wrong with this face, is it good to be scalded like this?" Don't wait for His Royal Highness King Jing to come back, what can I do if I lose my appetite......"
Laughter, accompanied by the heat coming out of her face, filled her face.
Xiao Xi'er didn't dare to touch her face with her hands, but she was afraid that her hands would be dirty, and if she touched a bacterial infection, she would be really disfigured.
It just hurts......
The pain made her shiver a little, especially the hot water became frozen in an instant under the dissipation of the winter cold, and a thin layer of mist instantly condensed on her long eyelashes, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Rong, only to see that between her eyebrows was still full of charm and indifferent like water, knowing that she was planted this time.
Vicious people have their own vicious retribution, but this punishment has just begun, and she is also prepared for what the Holy Lord of Xiyan reminded her.
Just afraid.
I am afraid that I am not strong enough, and I will not be able to hold on to the day when the Chu State wins.
Holy, you poisonous women.
If I go out, I will ask a group of animals to drag you out alive! ! Knife the girl's face, you are ruthless!!
Sure enough, Concubine Rong flicked her sleeves when she saw that she didn't react, and said in a quiet voice: "I think this Xi girl should have little patience after staying in prison for a long time, she must want to go out for a walk, right?" Someone's coming......"
Several jailers ran over and knelt down beside her.
"Open this cell door and give this palace a chain and iron lock, this palace will take Miss Xi out for a walk," the words suddenly turned to the two jailers who were about to open their mouths to refuse, "Don't tell me that King Jing ordered that no one was allowed to take her away, this palace didn't store her thoughts, when you took her out, you were all waiting in the back, it was your responsibility to take care of the prisoner, who did the palace want to use to relieve the boredom That is the freedom of the palace, understand?" ”
"That's it!" A concubine next to him echoed, "Why don't you raise you?" What are you doing with the chains and locks?! ”
The two jailers looked at each other, and although they hesitated, they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to say "Yes!" So he went down and prepared.
Xiao Xi'er gasped in the cell, and there was a hint of fear on her little face like a green mountain after the rain.
Carabiner.
Chains.
