Chapter 238: The Battle
"It's so late, where did you go, didn't I tell you not to walk around, why don't you be obedient." Unlike the usual pampering voice, this time it was obviously very serious.
Bai Xiyue knew that she was at a loss, and she didn't dare to defend herself, but she kept standing there with her head down, Bai Ze also nestled in his arms obediently, didn't dare to move, and kept silently thinking in her heart, "I am air, I am air, I can't see me, I can't see me." ”
Gu Yichen saw that she didn't speak, so he raised his legs and walked over, his action did not scare Bai Xiyue, but scared Bai Ze a lot, and quickly ran out of her arms and disappeared without a trace.
Bai Xiyue scolded angrily in her heart: "How can this guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death be able to leave his master and escape by himself at such a critical juncture." ”
She kept her head down, not daring to raise her eyes to look at him, until she saw a pair of black boots as far as her eyes could see, and she knew that he had come to her.
"Wang, my lord, I just felt too bored to stay in the barracks, so I went out for a walk twice, and I didn't do anything, I swear." In order not to be frozen to death by this cold breath, he was forced to lie again today.
Bai Xiyue was righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and even stretched out her four fingers to show her determination to swear, however, her heart was panicked, and when she touched the person's gaze, she immediately lowered her heart.
When Gu Yichen saw her like this, his anger immediately disappeared, and he shook his head helplessly, "If you want to go out, it's not impossible, but you must not go out alone, you must bring a secret guard." ”
"I, I know, I'll pay attention next time." Bai Xiyue adhered to the attitude of actively admitting mistakes and resolutely not changing, and gave in.
The regent was only worried about her safety, and didn't really want to do anything to her, so he just knocked and beaten, and there was no substantive punishment, but seeing that the little girl in front of him was still restrained, he immediately softened his attitude and reached out to take her into his arms.
"I've been very busy lately, and after a while the war here is over, I'll take you back to the Tianyuan Kingdom." Originally, they could go back after returning from the floating island, but how did they suddenly say this change, tonight he also saw the power of the weapon, if he didn't want to solve it, it wouldn't take long for Hu to really be able to annex other countries.
Bai Xiyue nestled in his arms with a look of grievance, but he was proud in his heart, he was really a guy who eats soft and does not eat hard, it seems that the next time he makes a mistake, he must be soft first, so that he can't bear to say anything more.
"Xiyue, did you really just go out for a spin and didn't meet anyone?" He said suddenly.
"I, I really just walked around the barracks, and I didn't meet anyone at all, don't you believe me when you ask this." Bai Xiyue said righteously, obviously with a weak heart, but what she said was convincing.
Gu Yichen looked at her clear eyes and didn't continue to ask, at this moment he already knew that she was lying, because her sleeve was stained with a leaf that she didn't know where to bring back, this kind of leaf didn't grow near the barracks at all, but grew in the forest where they fought before.
But what did she do there, if she was worried about her own safety, why didn't she tell him when she got there, but if it wasn't for that, what would it be,,,
Eventually, the matter became an unsolvable mystery.
The night was getting deeper, Bai Xiyue fell asleep, Gu Yichen walked out of the tent with a sober expression, and at this moment Dark Six was waiting for him at the door.
"Lord, the guard at the gate said that this afternoon, the princess was stopped from going out, and then she obediently returned to the tent and never came out again. ”
"However, the guard on duty in the back mountain vaguely saw a woman in a black cloak slipping out of the back mountain, because it was a little far away at that time, he didn't see it very really, and he didn't know if that person was a princess."
At this point, he paused. Gu Yichen saw his hesitation, and said: "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, and there is anything that this king can't listen to." ”
Dark Six thought for a moment "Lord Wang, although there is a sentence that I shouldn't say, I always feel that it is related to the safety of the prince."
"Say!"
"That ghost lord has an unknown origin, and he can still make such a powerful weapon, and the princess has shown great interest in him several times, and she has always come up with some strange things before, at least some things that have never appeared in Tianyuan Kingdom, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence. ”
Although Dark Six didn't want to be so suspicious of Bai Xiyue, he didn't know why, he vaguely felt that the princess was definitely related to this ghost, because when he first investigated Bai Xiyue's identity, he couldn't find anything at all, as if he had changed into a person out of thin air, not at all like what had been rumored before.
"I know this matter in my heart, I don't need to say it again in the future, from tomorrow, you will follow the princess every step of the way, and you must not let him go out again."
Gu Yichen didn't expect that he also found out about the previous incident, and if Dark Six could notice it, maybe others would be able to notice it too, but now he didn't know what her secret was, and he was a little suspicious of her origin.
Returning to the tent, looking at the sleeping person on the bed, he suddenly felt that the worries just now were gone, he reached out and rubbed her face, "Yue'er, you can only stay by my side, never think about leaving, otherwise, I don't know what crazy thing I will do." ”
Bai Xiyue was a little uncomfortable by the rubbing of that hand, frowned, muttered a word, and turned around.
,,,,
After three days of operational discussions, they finally had a complete set of defensive measures, but they had not really fought in actual combat, and they did not know how effective they were.
The army is already fully equipped, waiting for an order to set off, Bai Xiyue is the last to know the news, since that day, she has rarely seen Gu Yichen, every time she goes to find him, she is busy, she knows that she can't help, so she simply doesn't bother.
"Bai Tao, the prince is going to personally lead the troops to fight, why didn't he tell me, I am his princess, don't you even have the right to know."
Bai Xiyue was a little depressed, and she was still a little uncomfortable, although she didn't know what she was uncomfortable with.
"Princess, if the prince doesn't tell you, he must be afraid that you will be worried, but it can be seen that he is still thinking about you in his heart, so don't think nonsense. Bai Tao naturally picked good words, and she couldn't guess what the regent meant, but at least she was sure that the prince loved the princess.
"Is that really the case?"
"Definitely, yes."
Just as the two were chatting, Dark Six hurriedly walked over, "Princess, the prince is waiting for you at the gate of the barracks." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Bai Xiyue picked up her skirt and ran out, it can be said that she had no image, and the soldiers passing by didn't see who it was, and she had already run over.
Panting and running to the door, the army was ready to go, standing neatly and waiting.
"Gu Yichen!" She shouted to the crowd.
I saw a person slowly turn his head, Bai Xiyue was a little stunned when she saw his appearance, the two had been together for so long, she had never seen him wearing armor, this dress seemed to be made for him.
He just stood with his hands in his hands, as if it was a beautiful picture, after putting on the armor, the whole person looked more towards the high god, so that people did not dare to climb high, did not dare to approach, could only look at it from a distance.
A pair of eyes, as if containing two black jades, seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in the dark eyes, making his eyes look hazy, making people unable to see it at a glance.
Until he walked in front of him, Bai Xiyue had not come to his senses.
"Yue'er, you're here." He opened his mouth and said softly, such a tender voice, with such a face that could not be refused, she felt as if she was in the clouds, and the whole person was soft.
Gu Yichen looked at her eyes, and her dark eyes were full of pampering.
"King, lord," for some reason, he looked at him like this, and he stammered a little when he spoke.
He chuckled, "Why, you won't be able to speak when you see me, I'm going to go on the expedition today, you obediently wait for me to come back in the barracks, remember, don't run around." ”
When he said this, he actually had the meaning of reminding him that what happened last time recently must not happen again this time.
Bai Xiyue is not a fool, of course she can understand the subtext of his words, and nodded silently, "Then be the prince and return triumphantly, I will wait here for you to come back." ”
She didn't plan to go out again, but now that she knows that the stone is in the hands of the ghost, she doesn't have to be in such a hurry, there will always be a chance to get the stone in the future.
"Okay." Gu Yichen's smile became even stronger, and as usual, he reached out and rubbed her hair.
"Lord Wang, it's time for us to go!" Although Gu Xiu didn't want to disturb the two of them getting along, in the face of national affairs, these sons and daughters should also let go.
"Got it!" Gu Yichen's hand retracted and returned to an indifferent look.
Bai Xiyue watched them leave, and her heart was mixed, "Gu Yichen, if I don't go back, I'm afraid I really have to stay here for you." ”
She had already realized that she was moved, but she always thought that she could withdraw, and it was not until today that she really felt that if she wanted to completely strip off this relationship, it was actually far more difficult than he imagined.
"Two years, one year and four months."
This time is not short, it is not long, it can be enough for her to change her mind, but she can't do this, it is not easy to live this time, if she can't avenge herself, what is the point of living again.
On the other side, the army soon arrived at their destination.
