"Hurry up, protect the prince"

"Yes"

Darkness is the best protection, and darkness is also a turbulent dark tide. A group of black-clothed guards shuttled through the darkness at a very fast speed, they had only one goal, that is, to run, as long as they left here, they would be saved if they left here.

"Shadow Dance, Shadow Xuan, you take the prince and go first." The leader of the guards quickly dodged the hidden arrows that came from him, and decided to lead people to drag those people and fight for a chance for the prince.

"Chief, be careful," Ying Xuan said, and immediately took the prince to the path and left.

As they moved quickly, the sound of fighting behind them became farther and farther away, and they also breathed a sigh of relief. Shadow Dance observed the surroundings, and saw the shadows of the surrounding trees, not daring to be careless at all. Shadow Dance had traveled here for sixteen years, and she thought she could go back, but she had been hovering on the edge of death more than once, and she hadn't been able to go back.

From the time she crossed over here and was sold, she had no choice. I can only exchange my body for other people's lives again and again, and I have become numb again and again. Every time she came back from a mission, she was injured, and she never thought that she would become so strong.

The name Ji Xiaotong seems to be very far away from her, can she go back? She didn't know, she only knew that this time, she was afraid that she would be more than lucky. Shadow Dance still remembers that when she first crossed over, this body was only three years old, and the childhood of a three-year-old child was over before it even began. From the initial screening and elimination to the training day and night, her body and mind have become numb.

At first, she sympathized with these children, but when her compassion was exploited, she was almost killed by the children she sympathized with. She was already doomed, sympathy, hatred, sadness, pain, and as these emotions grew farther and farther away from her, she no longer felt that she was a human being.

The only thing that sustains her alive is to travel back in time and return to that world. When she returns to that world, she can be a normal person again, and she doesn't have to live like this anymore, when she returns there, she is still the daughter of the Ji family, and she is still the carefree girl.

"Let's take a break...... the prince's voice stopped Ying Wu's thoughts, and hurriedly reacted, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Yes" Ying Xuan immediately spread his clothes on the ground and waited for the prince to sit down on the ground.

Shadow Dance leaps up the tree to check her surroundings. Shadow Dance took out a small packet of jerky from his clothes and threw it to the prince, the prince opened the oiled paper, picked up a piece and chewed it slowly, Shadow Xuan drew his sword and stood by the prince's side on guard.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the sound of the prince eating food, there was no other sound at all, no sound at all......

No, something was wrong, Shadow Dance didn't have time to inform the prince of them, and there were random arrows shooting around.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh ............"

"It's not good, it's a dark arrow, Ying Xuan, you take the prince first" Shadow Dance jumped down from the tree, holding a sword in his hand, and frantically swept the dark arrow beside the prince.

"Whoosh...... Ah...... "A dark arrow hit Shadow Dance, and Shadow Dance gritted her teeth and pulled out her sword.

"Hmm............ Lord Wang, you go first, and your subordinates will break off" Shadow Dance trembled in pain, gritted her teeth, and tried to ignore the wounds on her body as much as possible.

"Lord Wang, let's go" Ying Xuan helped the Lord and wanted to rush out, but the Lord was indifferent.

The Dark Arrow stopped

"I can't go," the prince sighed softly, as if he had anticipated the impending death.

A group of black-clothed people slowly surrounded them, Shadow Dance held a sword in his hand, and Ying Xuan protected the prince by his side, Shadow Dance looked at these black-clothed people, knowing that he would definitely die today.

"Yingxuan, do you remember what I told you, my world? I hmm............ This time I may really want to go back, and the prince will hand it over to you to protect......" After speaking, Shadow Dance took off her veil, and her beautiful and lovely face appeared in front of everyone, Shadow Dance smiled self-deprecatingly, clenched the sword in her hand, and prepared for the final round of fighting.

King Ding never thought that one day he would see the face of his secret guard. Obviously a face that looks soft and weak, but at the moment her eyes are firm and fearless of death, what does she mean by "that world"? King Ding was puzzled.

"Congratulations, you've been looking forward to it for so many years, and you can finally get what you want" Ying Xuan seemed to know her origins.

King Ding looked at the woman in front of him, dressed in black, with her hair tied high behind her head, her face was white, not very beautiful, but it was very comfortable to look at.

Ying Wu smiled slightly, with a bright smile, glanced at Ying Xuan, seemed to be a little reluctant, and King Ding was shaken by this smile.

"If we can, let's see you in the next life! In the next life, you will be my boyfriend! I haven't been in a relationship yet, remember...... My name is Ji Xiaotong. Shadow Dance smiled brightly, as if she was saying something very beautiful.

"Okay, in the next life, you will be my wife, I will love you and spoil you, and I wish you happiness in my life" Ying Xuan's voice was cold, listening carefully, and there was a slight trembling that could not be detected.

King Ding looked at the two of them, a little unhappy, life and death were at stake, and he was in the mood to look at the group of people in black.

"Who sent you?" King Ding's voice was cold, with some anger faintly.

"Huh...... Dingwang, you should know, we won't talk much, we will leave you a decent one" The man in black laughed, very rampant, and with a wave of his left hand, the assassin immediately swarmed up.

Oh, yes...... I know that the king of Chu, who is always very enthusiastic, gentle and harmless, is so unscrupulous for the throne, royal affection...... It's really worthless. He has always known the ambition of the King of Chu, but he is too lazy to say it, even if there is no King of Chu, it will be difficult for the imperial brother's throne to sit firmly.

King Ding looked at them and raised his hand slightly, and the two of them immediately rushed forward and fought with the man in black. The two cooperate with each other, but there are too many enemies to kill.

King Ding grabbed the sword in his hand and rushed to Shadow Dance's side, blocking a sword for her. Shadow Dance showed gratitude, stood by King Ding's side, and used his body as a shield to protect King Ding behind him.

"Lord Wang, go quickly, run as fast as you can" Shadow Dance waved the sword in her hand, she had already been hit by several swords, she was about to run out of strength, Shadow Dance heard the sound of her own heartbeat, the sound of fighting around her, Shadow Dance felt that her life was losing rapidly.

"Hmm...... Ah......h

"Lord Wang...... Let's go" Shadow Dance grabbed King Ding and pushed hard. Behind him, several men in black stabbed at Shadow Dance together.

"Ah............h

Blood splattered, Shadow Dance looked at King Ding, she had never looked at a man so seriously, her thick black hair was tied behind her head with a golden crown, and her handsome face exuded a cold temperament. One last look at this dark world, she could finally leave, she was finally free, Shadow Dance slowly fell down with a satisfied smile, and slowly closed her eyes.

King Ding looked at Shadow Dance, didn't know what to think, rushed to Shadow Dance's side, hugged Shadow Dance's body tightly, and looked at her in a daze.

Ying Xuan stood beside the prince, trying his best to prevent this crazy assassination for the prince. Ying Xuan did his best to protect King Ding, but King Ding seemed to be unaware of his surroundings, watching Shadow Dance, watching Shadow Dance disappear into this world after a white light. Is it true that she is not a person of this world, so is she a god or a man?

With this question, King Ding also left this world, and after a white light, all three of them disappeared without a trace, and the assassin rummaged around, but did not find them, and they just disappeared.

The room, spacious and bright, warm sunlight shining through the window, the room was quiet, there was a girl lying on the bed, she looked beautiful, the girl closed her eyes tightly, she was unaware of everything.

The door to the room opened, and a woman carried a basin with a towel on the side. The woman put the towel in the basin, wrung out the water, and wiped the girl's cheeks, and after a while, the girl's whole body was wiped clean. The woman put the basin under the hospital bed, held the girl's hand, looked at the girl, and wept silently.

The woman wiped away her tears, put the girl's hand in the quilt, picked up the basin, and walked out of the room.

"Drip ............ Drip............ Drip............ Drip ............"

The ward was quiet, only the faint sound of the apparatus was made, and suddenly, the girl's hand moved.

After a while, the girl's hand moved again, and the girl slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the snow-white ward, she lost her mind for a moment, and she couldn't tell what night it was.

After a while, Ji Xiaotong reacted, and he finally came back. Recalling the gloomy sixteen years, Ji Xiaotong cried silently, and everything in the past was like a dream. But she knew that it was not a dream, it was a past that she had personally experienced, and it was painful to the bone marrow.

Finally back, but can she still live simply? Can you still eat, drink, shop, and shop like you used to? She knows that she can't, forget it, just take it as an experience given by God!

I don't know how long it has been, the woman came back, habitually came to the bedside, and before she could get closer, Ji "" Xiaotong turned her head and said, "Mom...... Mom......"

Ji Xiaotong's voice was hoarse, looking at the woman, the woman was stunned as if she had been pointed, and after a while, the woman reacted, rushed over and hugged Ji Xiaotong, crying loudly, as if holding a lost and recovered treasure.

"Hmm............ Xiaotong ............ My Xiaotong............ Yes............ I thought...... Not............ I thought you'd never wake up again............"

Ji Xiaotong hugged her mother back, hugged her tightly, buried herself in her mother's arms and cried bitterly, she was about to lose sight of her mother's appearance. Sixteen years, there is not a day when she does not miss her family, in order to be able to see her family, she endures pain again and again, completes assassination after assassination, and guards that man again and again.

Protecting him is not because of how loyal she is, but because there is always someone who can make you die for him without regrets. It's not about feelings, it's just because, he's living for thousands of people, and as long as he's there, no one in Izumo Province will dare to move.

She used to be entangled, and she also thought that maybe if she killed King Ding, she would be free. In the process of getting along slowly, I gradually knew what kind of person he was. He had traveled long distances to ask for the lives of the people. Go to the battlefield and share your worries for the king. She watched him stay awake at night for the sake of the people, watching the candles in the study from dark to dawn. Seeing that he was so anxious that his mouth was foaming because of the drought in the mall, I also saw him sad because the soldiers in front of him had no clothes for the winter. She often thinks that if it were in modern times, these materials could be transported by train and plane, but in ancient times, people were always unable to fight.

He is too difficult, the new emperor ascended the throne, the foundation is unstable, for the sake of the world, he has changed from the five princes who have no worries about food and clothing to the king who makes people smell and change. The new emperor entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, when he was only 14 years old, he was named the king, the first emperor died suddenly, the new emperor immediately succeeded to the throne, and the new emperor who urgently ascended the throne did not even have a person who could be trusted.

King Ding has escaped assassination again and again, framed again and again, if it weren't for the new emperor's great trust in him, he would probably have no bones.

He guards the world, so it is not so unacceptable for them to protect him.

King Ding is benevolent, he has never used poison to control the shadow guard, just because he is a person, he is already convincing, he is like a light, people will not hesitate to follow him to burn their lives. In this life, people always have to do something that they admire.

The mother and daughter hugged for a long time before they reluctantly separated, Ji Xiaotong looked at her mother's haggard face and felt guilty. It's all for her that my mother became like this, she is so unfilial, she spits on herself.

"Mom, are you okay?" Ji Xiaotong leaned on her mother's arms, and her voice was much better than just now.

"Okay, as long as you can wake up, Mom." Mother hugged Ji Xiaotong and stroked her back one by one, mother and daughter have not been so close for a long time.

"Mom...... How long did I sleep? ”

"It's been two years...... You have slept for two years, and your mother looks forward to you waking up every day, and your mother talks to you every day, but you ignore your mother......" As she spoke, Ji's mother wanted to wipe her tears again.

"Mom...... I'm sorry for worrying you, "It's only been two years here!"

"Mom, where's Dad?"

"Your dad is going abroad, and he wants to go abroad to talk about a customer" Mom looked at Ji Xiaotong, "Calculate the time, it seems that it's almost time to come back, and it's only been these two days!" By the way, Xiaorui has enlisted in the army, and it has been almost a year."

"Enlisted, how did he remember to be a soldier?" Ji Xiaotong drank a glass of water and felt that his throat was much better.

"Alas...... Maybe it's just that I feel very powerless! After you had a car accident, he hoped that you would wake up every day, and even if the doctor said that you might become a vegetative person, Xiaorui did not give up. But for more than a year, Xiao Rui became more and more bottomless, he began to be anxious, grumpy, in order to distract his attention, we decided to enlist him in the army, the high-intensity training of the army is very tiring, we thought, let him be so tired that he has no strength to think cranky every day! Mother Ji wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and sighed softly, "It's good that you woke up, it's okay......"

Ji Xiaotong comforted her mother softly, cherishing this hard-won reunion, fortunately she survived, and fortunately she didn't give up.

Ji Xiaotong was unconscious due to a car accident, she remembered that she had just graduated two years ago, and when she went on a graduation trip, she took a classmate's car, and that classmate was a little reckless, the car drove fast, and she couldn't stop the car at a sharp turn.

Ji Xiaotong didn't know how this matter was solved, but she felt a little aggrieved.
