Cold night, cold winter.

In the cold sky of this polar night, the lights of the thirteen cities of the royal court were lit up, and the entire thirteen cities of the royal court shone like the stars and bright moon sprinkled on the snowfield.

But, even in the thirteen cities of the royal court.

With the cover of this long night, some dirty and cruel things are constantly happening in dark corners.

When night falls, people and ghosts walk together.

The evil spirits hurry, and the pedestrians take their time.

Not to mention, it is still under this long polar night, on this cruel snowfield.

Even if the Xiongnu had already strengthened the patrol team in the thirteen cities, they still couldn't prevent such chaos from happening.

This also makes it possible that even if something that is not very noticeable not far from the palace is not subject to strict interrogation.

It's like two people squatting on the side of the street not far from the palace and not moving, so they won't be questioned by the patrol.

Because this is simply too common in the thirteen cities of the royal court.

In the thirteen cities of the royal court, the Xiongnu people gathered.

But in the dark corners, there are also many people who are like ants stealing life.

Displaced, homeless, where not to squat on the streets?

One of the people squatting on the side of the street slowly stretched: "Let's go, go back to the changing of the guard, freeze to death." ”

This person is Zhang Chao.

After calling their companions, the two tightened their hoods on their heads, wrapped their black robes, and headed in the direction of the inn.

Since deciding to squat in the palace, the secret guards have almost changed their guards, the purpose of which is to guard Chen Dong who came out of the palace.

It's just that...... In Zhang Chao's opinion, this is simply too time-consuming!

It's too much of a test of patience!

In the hotel.

Wang Yu looked at the time and said to the members of the secret guard beside him, "Zhang Chao and they should come back, organize two people to go over and change the guard." ”

"Okay boss."

The members of the Dark Guard immediately got up, and they set off with another companion.

"Young Master...... What exactly has been experienced? ”

Wang Yu frowned, muttered in a low voice, and thought.

As the leader of the Secret Guard, he thought more than Zhang Chao and the others.

The secret guards were born because of Chen Daolin, and they were all willing to die for Chen Daolin.

But as the leader, Wang Yu naturally hopes that everyone can live well, and bring the young master back to the domain safe and sound without paying for their lives.

Of course, when it was really critical and he had to pay for his life, he and the secret guards would not hesitate at all.

Squeak......

Zhang Chao and his companions pushed open the door of Wang Yu's room.

A gust of wind and snow swept into the room.

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Yu shook off the snow and took off his hooded black robe, while complaining: "Boss, it's not a way to squat down like this, a shift of posts squatting down, everyone is about to freeze into popsicles." ”

Wang Yu glanced at Zhang Chao, but his gaze fell on the short knife on Zhang Chao's waist.

Under the light, you can vaguely see a little frozen blood on the scabbard.

"Got the knife?"

Wang Yu frowned and asked.

Zhang Chao looked at the short knife on his waist and shrugged his shoulders: "When the two of us came back, I encountered a miscellaneous piece that jumped out and wanted to rob, so I gave him a knife." ”

"Tell everyone, try to be careful in the future, and if you can, don't use the knife." Wang Yu said calmly.

"It's fine."

Zhang Chao waved his hand, sat next to Wang Yu, took a sip of a cup of hot tea, the warmth in his stomach surged, and the person was a lot more comfortable, and then said: "Where the two of us were robbed, I am not the only one who uses the knife, all the way, just in that dark alley, there are three groups of people desperate." ”

Wang Yu was not surprised, this was the real and normal thing in the thirteen cities of the royal court after the polar night fell.

Wild and cruel, even in the city, it is extremely clear, and it is completely different from the region.

So after knowing that Zhang Chao had moved the knife, he was still able to remain calm.

Wang Yu rubbed his chin: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, we only have one chance!" ”

"I know, we met just now, otherwise I wouldn't want to use the knife."

Zhang Chao nodded, motioned to his companions who came back together to rest, and then approached Wang Yu and said, "But let's squat down like this, in case the young master doesn't come out, this is not a solution, why don't we go into the palace?" "I'm not willing to take that risk unless absolutely necessary."

Wang Yu shook his head and said seriously: "Our first goal is to safely take the young master back to the domain and see the family master. ”

"But if you keep squatting, I don't know how long it will be squatting, let's sneak into the palace, the efficiency will be much higher!" Zhang Chao's eyes were a little hot.

"Do you know that the time between the two of us in the dark guard is almost the same, why did the head of the family choose me as the leader, do you still have to listen to me?"

Wang Yuwei looked at Zhang Chao with a smile.

Zhang Chao shook his head: "The secret guard is just such a person, the head of the family can choose whoever he wants, and I have no complaints." ”

"Because I'm more stable than you!"

Wang Yu explained with a smile: "The head of the family established a secret guard to seek survival, safety, and self-defense, not to take risks. ”

Zhang Chao shrugged helplessly: "Then continue to squat." ”

……

"Is this night or day?"

Chen Dong slowly opened his eyes, stared blankly at the lights in the room, and slowly looked at the night outside.

When the polar night falls, the dividing line between day and night disappears.

It's hard to tell what time it is.

"During the day, you've been in a coma all night."

Xixing responded, rubbed his swollen and dry eyes, stepped forward and hugged Chen Dong from behind, and gently rested his head on Chen Dong's back: "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry to let you be in such danger yesterday." ”

"Dangerous?"

Chen Dong's eyes changed, and he suddenly reacted, it must have been yesterday that he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

But now Xixing's reaction is obviously that he hasn't figured out the truth about him vomiting blood and falling into a coma yesterday.

"Well, yesterday you comprehended the Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body, and you were so angry that you provoked the injuries on your body, vomited blood and fell into a coma."

Behind him, the voice of cherishing the stars sounded.

Chen Dongdeng relaxed, such an explanation is very reasonable, and there is no need to spend any effort to cover it up.

But.

I felt the softness behind me and the strength around my waist.

Chen Dong's gaze changed rapidly, and finally it was as deep as a black hole.

In my mind, the scene before I fell into a coma yesterday appeared, and Gu Qingying's appearance even appeared.

In a trance, he suddenly had an indescribable strangeness to the cherished stars behind him.

Even, I was a little disgusted with the softness behind my back, and the hands around my waist.

Such an action...... It's so intimate!

But...... My wife...... Someone else!

Cherish the stars, not my wife!

Although Chen Dong was still in a coma yesterday, after suffering a huge pain that ordinary people could not bear, it also verified his initial speculation.

Only by enduring the great pain of headaches again and again can you recover your memory little by little!

Gu Qingying.

Big fool.

In his mind, he remembered it clearly, and recalled Gu Qingying's appearance.

The girl named Gu Qingying in his mind gave him the feeling that he was obviously more familiar and close to than Xixing behind him.

Gu Qingying...... It's my wife!

He only remembered this, but this alone was enough.

The strong disgust, disgust, and even the spontaneous feeling of being used made Chen Dong's perception of the cherished stars behind him completely collapse at this time.

However, Xixing behind him didn't know.

She leaned on Chen Dong's back, her eyes were red, she pouted, and said softly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, in the next few days, you have a good rest, and I will accompany you well." ”

Chen Dong's eyes flickered twice, and then he became firm.

He nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Xixing slowly raised his head, rested his chin on Chen Dong's shoulder, and said softly: "Now that you have woken up, you should be able to move around freely, do you want to go out of the palace with me and relax?" ”
