"Just, that'......" The man was so frightened that his whole body, including his tongue, trembled.

Ashina suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.

He threw down the man, strode to the coffin, grabbed the coffin lid with both hands and lifted it up hard, seeing that the coffin lid did not move at all, he thought that it must have been nailed, so he pulled out the sky with a "poof".

"What does Your Highness want?!"

"Your Highness, I can't help it, I can't help it!"

……

When they saw this, they were all shocked and stood up. But seeing Ashina's indefinite and arrogant appearance, still holding a knife in his hand, no one dared to really step forward to stop it.

Ashina didn't care what everyone said, he put the blade of the knife flat, and was about to cut it off at the interface of the coffin lid.

"His Royal Highness stays!"

Just then, a man shouted as he strode over.

Ashina has no time to pay attention to it at this time? With a hard slash, I already felt that several nails were broken by the sharp Guanxiao.

The person who came was Xiahou Yuan, and when he saw that Ashina did not listen to the advice for an indefinite period, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his arms and said, "Imperial husband!" What is this going to do?! ”

"I don't believe she's dead!" Ashina said angrily: "Your doctor here can't do it!" I brought her back to life last time! I'm going to open it and see if she's still alive! ”

Before he finished speaking, he had already made a brute force break away from Xiahou Yuan's hands, and he was forcefully cutting into the gap in the coffin lid.

"Are you Great Zhou even the emperor so untrustworthy?!" As he strained, he said angrily, "Don't you remember what you owe me?!" Come out of here! Otherwise, even in the Netherworld, I will capture you back! ”

Xiahou Yuan saw such a situation. Sighing, he approached Ashina and whispered, "Imperial Husband!" Your Majesty is not in the coffin, come with me! ”

Ashina left the Zhongjun tent under Xiahou Yuan's stiff pull and came to a camp tent. Pulled him in.

Bypassing the screen, I saw a person sitting on a bamboo bed in the depths of the tent, dressed in single clothes. His long hair was scattered, and one sleeve was down. A medic is changing a dressing for a wound on her shoulder.

Isn't this slender and weak body, pale face, and bright eyes the "little girl" who was said to be dead just now?

Ashina's anger suddenly subsided, but another feeling of annoyance came back. He strode over to Zuo Ying's bed and sat down, looking at Zuo Ying angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Husband ......"

Before Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, Zuo Ying already roughly knew that it was Ashina who came back indefinitely to make trouble.

"General Xiahou has worked hard. Stand down, all of you. I spoke to the Imperial Husband alone. ”

The crowd retreated.

Ashina looked at her seriously for a while, as if confirming that she was not fake, and then said angrily: "Aren't you good?" Why do they say you're dead? Give you back Dai Xiao?! ”

"Imperial husband, this is a ploy." Zuo Ying smiled: "Last night, an assassin disguised himself as a meticulous work of our army sneaked into the barracks and attacked me. I will do what I want, and let the Taishi declare to the outside world that I have died. And so it goes. The enemy must have thought that our army was in disarray, and would attack the camp tonight while it was dark. At that time, our army has already been prepared for ambush, and the thieves who come to the door will definitely suffer a heavy defeat. ”

Zuo Ying said as she carefully stretched her arms and put up the sleeves of her faded shirt.

Ashina heard Zuo Ying say this indefinitely, and she fully understood her intentions in doing this, but she still couldn't forgive herself for being tricked like this.

"Humph!" Reaching out and grabbing Zuo Ying's collar, he said angrily: "Let me see how the injury is." ”

Whether Zuo Ying wants to or not, Ashina untied the bandage on Zuo Ying's arm indefinitely and uncovered it layer by layer. When he saw the wound that had penetrated a few inches into the flesh, his brow furrowed even tighter.

He carefully re-wrapped the bandage on Zuo Ying. Seeing that her slender and white arms were wrapped in thick bandages, and under the bandages was the shocking wound, I couldn't help but tighten my heart, and opened my arms to hug the weak body in front of me into my arms.

The slender and thin body seemed to have to be hugged with a lot of strength to really feel that she was really in his arms, but he didn't dare to use any more force. I'm afraid she'll hurt herself.

Zuo Ying was buried in Ashina's arms, listening to his rapid and powerful heartbeat and increasingly heavy breathing, feeling that he was restraining the restlessness in his heart, as if it weren't for her injuries, he would never have behaved so restrained. Her heart couldn't help but tremble deeply.

Ashina's indefinite lips fell on Zuo Ying's bun, forehead, cheeks, and cheeks like a kiss, and her voice was beautiful but dry and insisting: "Remember what you promised me?" I don't want you to give that. All I want is you. ”

Those brilliance, those glory, if you have to rely on a little girl to give it to him, then what is it? Although he had no doubt about her ability to fulfill those promises, he now longed for her promise no longer glory, glory, territory, and resources...... And just her.

His kiss continued to move downward, gently pecking Zuo Ying's ears, neck, and collarbone, and a tingling sensation flowed from where his lips touched Zuo Ying's whole body, making her laugh at herself for being like a little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, so easily teased by him that her heart was beating wildly.

"Your Great Zhou is too dangerous, follow me back to Black Sand City." Ashina's endless voice became as illusory as a dream, indicating that he couldn't help himself, and his hands unconsciously stroked the slender softness in his arms, "I won't let anyone touch a hair of yours." ”

Zuo Ying raised the head lying on his chest, looked at him and smiled: "Could it be that the imperial husband can't protect me here?" ”

Ashina Wuji cupped Zuo Ying's face with one hand, "I know you're provoking me." It's not that I can't do it, I just don't want to take any more risks. ”

He knew that she wouldn't agree, and he didn't even want to delve into whether her feelings for him were as fierce as he did for her, so he lowered his head and kissed Zuo Ying's lips deeply. Yun sucked in the smoothness of her mouth, and he seemed to be able to forget for a moment his desire to return to the desert and his ambition to compete in the world.

That night, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, the clouds were indifferent, and there was a strange aura floating in the four fields. Sure enough, a team of thieves came out of Ziyang City, and they secretly came to within half a mile of the Dynasty Army's camp before rushing to kill.

When they drove straight into the camp full of sacrifices, they found that the camp was empty, and there was not a single soldier in sight.

The thief general quickly realized that he had been tricked, and hurriedly reined in his horse's head, turned around and shouted: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

When the army retreated in a hurry, it was too late, and the sound of drums and shouts was like waves coming from all directions.

The dynasty army was well prepared, attacking from all sides, and the thieves were like turtles in an urn but trapped beasts were still fighting, and the two sides fought fiercely all night, and only collected their troops and returned to the camp at dawn.

When he went to the various departments to count the men and horses, the dynasty army lost more than 100 people, captured 3,000 people, thwarted half of the elite of the thieves in Ziyang City, and captured two generals, which can be described as a solid victory.

The battle had already been won, and the news that the other two groups had also arrived and were in a state of attack, and the celebration banquet the next night was very happy with the optimism that victory was in sight. Even Helan Chu made an exception and drank a lot of wine.

After a few rounds of drinking, Zuo Ying got up and changed her clothes. On the way back to the camp, he saw Helan Chu's tall back wandering alone in the twilight.

Zuo Ying walked over and said, "Aiqing, why are you here alone?" ”

Helan Chu turned around, bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty." The minister was not strong enough to drink, so he avoided the table and rested for a while. ”

Zuo Ying had the impression that Helan Chu's alcohol consumption was definitely far from being strong enough to drink a few more glasses, but it was rare to drink as much as he drank in the army today.

"Aiqing drank all the time today, must it be because he expected our army's victory to be in sight?" Zuo Ying said with a smile.

But in her heart, victory is both a good thing and not necessarily a good thing. The matter itself may not be bad, but once the counterinsurgency is over, it means that she will return to the imperial court where the balance of power has been imbalanced and the forces she has cultivated have not yet grown, and she will have to face the situation of surviving under Helan Chu's absolute advantage.

If he thinks so, Helan Chu should indeed be happy. However, the humility and sincerity he showed in front of Zuo Ying recently did not show a trace of hypocrisy, which made Zuo Ying feel confused.

"Yes." Helan Chu looked down at Zuo Ying and said, "However, it's not the most important thing. ”

"Oh?" Zuo Ying raised her eyebrows, "Then what's the most important thing?" ”

"The most important thing," Helan Chu said in a deep voice, "The minister sees that His Majesty is wise in his decisions and wise in his thinking, and he can be a holy monarch. ”

Zuo Ying's first reaction was: Are you pretending to be the minister who is orphaned again? But after thinking about it, he knew that he didn't need it at all, especially when only the two of them were there.

The light of the torches from far and near outlined Helan Chu's flawless face, and his still deep and sharp eyes were like a sword in the sheath at the moment, without a piercing edge, which could be seen and read up close.

"Thanks to Aiqing's assistance." Zuo Ying smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear."

I don't know if it's because of the wine, Zuo Ying always feels that Helan Chu's speech and demeanor tonight are cold and there is a faint sadness. She had never seen him look other than contempt and anger.

"Aiqing might as well say it directly." Zuo Ying said.

Helan Chu stared at Zuo Ying for a moment before he said quietly: "Your Majesty is well versed in important military and political affairs, and has a strong strategy...... Why, hiding but not revealing, has been withheld until now? ”

If she had known that she had such a talent, she would be a wise man, even if she was still young, she could only show intelligence and studiousness. After deposing Emperor Xiao, he could have established her as emperor and assisted her wholeheartedly, and his hands might not be stained with the blood of his relatives and ministers of the same dynasty as they are today. Why the hell did she keep pretending to be crazy and stupid, putting on that arrogant and domineering appearance that didn't give people any hope.
