The aroma of barbecue gradually wafts away, tempting people's appetite, and the sound of laughter and laughter mixed with the sound of wine bottles colliding invigorates people's hearts with long-lost pleasure.

Under the fiery red light, everyone's face was covered with a layer of Microsoft luster, and the man's jade-like face was exuding a gentle aura at the moment, pursed his lips, his body exuded a different aura from the past, and his eyes fell on the torch.

Unconsciously, he remembered the scene when he first met Luo Wushuang when he was a child, his small figure, his head was wrapped in a veil because of injury, like a ceramic doll, petite and cute, the moment he lifted the curtain, the crystal clear eyes, with a stunning color, flashed.

Although it was a short time together, it made Nangong Xingchen remember the different feeling of that moment, that night was also in the open air, a pile of torches, roasting game.

He missed her.

Nangong Xingchen glanced at Nangong Yue on the opposite side and asked, "Your Majesty, when are you going to return to Beijing?" ”

"It's been three days, and we should go back too, tomorrow."

"Hmm."

The queen said sharply, with a gentle smile on her face.

"I'm afraid the regent misses the princess."

"I see."

"Hmm."

Nangong Xingchen was tumbling the roast chicken, adding some firewood on the side, and the general was cooking on the side, roasting it seriously, looking extremely experienced.

"The general is really familiar, I think it must be delicious."

"The queen praises falsely, nothing else, it's still okay to roast game, and the queen will eat more in a while."

"Okay."

After a while, it was almost cooked, and the general took off a piece of chicken leg and handed it to Nangong Yueli.

"Your Majesty, taste it."

Then he pulled one out and gave it to the queen, Nangong Xingchen cut some of it, and ate it carefully, the meat was firm, the fragrance was fragrant, the golden crispy skin, and it was a taste under the candlelight.

If Wushuang was here, she would have liked the taste of roast chicken. I wonder what she's doing at the moment?

The moon is cold and gray, the sound of insects is in the ears, the wind chimes ring, the wind through the hall fills the door, the red candles are swaying, there is a dark fragrance floating, and the footsteps outside the courtyard are approaching step by step.

"Princess, it's time to rest."

The maid crossed the threshold and entered the room, and saw that the woman was sitting on the desk drawing Dan paintings, and stepped forward to the side, and saw a woman in this red dress, but did not draw her facial features.

"What is this?"

The maid asked, and after a closer look, the red dress of the woman in the painting was really beautiful and elegant, faintly revealing a sense of arrogance and uninhibitedness.

"It's a new style."

"It's so pretty."

"Well, Thundercloud and Xiaozhu don't know when they will come back?"

Luo Wushuang put down the painting, her eyes fell in the direction of the door, she missed Nangong a little, she had long been accustomed to having him by her side in the past.

got up and walked slowly towards the interior, and only then did he go out of the room after the bedside maid helped Luo Wushuang to lie down.

At the bottom of the cliff, a guard was searching on both sides, trying to find clues in the barrenness, and the night was like ink, and the torch held high was bright and unusually obvious.

Figures flowing, starlight shimmering, weeds beneath their feet, trees growing all around, carefully observing the path, swishing sounds, making the scalp tingle in the darkness.

Pacing cautiously, the two of them took a step, while asking the lightning that they were looking for.

"Lightning Guard, are we still looking for it?"

They had already found the night since noon, and there was no one to see, the only thing was a few bloodstains that they saw when the lightning was not long, and the only thing that could be sure was that Xiao Yue was still alive.

"yes, we're all hungry."

A guard chimed in.

"You go back first."

Lightning said, he couldn't let go of the task given to him by the prince before he was completed, and he would never leave easily.

“……”

If this lightning guard doesn't leave, how can they leave, and they may not be caught by the regent when they go back, but it's not at all, several people looked at each other, and finally had to continue to look for it.

At that moment, one of them suddenly shouted.

"Found it."

The man picked up a small piece of blood-stained white cloth and saw it clearly under the torch, which should have been on Xiao Yue's body.

Seeing this, the lightning immediately stepped forward and led the way in that direction, and all kinds of traces showed that Xiao Yue was going in this direction.

The torches are getting farther and farther away, the candles are getting darker and darker, and under the darkness, next to the thorns, a pair of translucent eyes are watching a group of people slowly walk away.

Staying farther away, the man hunched over and slowly walked down the hillside, his pace became more and more flustered, and even the scenery in front of him began to ghost, and a sense of powerlessness slowly attacked.

The sky suddenly became cloudy, and it fell in a moment, suddenly fast, and quickly cleaned the world under the clouds, and the raindrops hit the body quickly and heavily, penetrating into the skin little by little.

The blood in his heart flowed down, the pain was eroding his reason little by little, and the ethereal nothingness in front of him became more and more ethereal, was he going to die like this, he was unwilling.

In the haze, he looked at the rain on the blades of grass, which were only pressed and swayed in the rain, and the sound in his ears became louder and louder, and slowly became more and more blurred, and his consciousness began to drift.

A carriage approached slowly in the wind and rain, and the man lying on the ground was unusually thin under the lightning and thunder, and if it weren't for the sharp eyes of the horseman, he would have stepped on the corpse and passed by.

"Phew."

"What's going on?"

"There was a person in front of me who fainted and was injured."

"Go see if there's any help, and if so, help the carriage."

"Yes."

"Miss, why save those irrelevant people."

"You can't die without help."

The woman was a little angry, and her tone was gentle.

The man got out of the carriage to probe Xiao Yue's snort, and when he found that there was still breath, he immediately put it into the carriage.

Wet, Xiao Yue's face was white and colorless, and he was dressed in black close to his body, outlining his figure, and his chest was dark red, and a hole was broken, and he knew that he was injured at first glance.

"This person doesn't know at a glance that he is not simple, will it be in trouble to save him?"

The woman dressed as a maid on the side spoke to persuade.

The woman frowned, but everyone came up and said that if you don't save it, you won't save it, it's not too cold-blooded, and then look at the man's handsome face, she is reluctant, it's a pity that such a good-looking man died.

The woman squatted down and pulled the man's shirt open, saw the wound on his chest, and immediately said to the maid.

"Bring the medicine box."

"Ah, miss, how do you take off his clothes, it's not appropriate."

"What's inappropriate, it's important to save people."

"Give."

The woman bandaged the man's wound, and then sat up, she was very curious about this man, what happened to him, how did he faint, was he being chased and killed by the enemy? Or something else.

The woman couldn't help but smile when she thought that she had saved someone, this was the first time she felt that she could save someone's life, which was just a gesture for her.

"I'll find an inn outside the city later."

"Yes."

The lightning had just reached the end of the road when he realized that the trace was gone, and then a low mountain appeared in front of him, and there was no way out.

Thinking back to the traces along the way, could it be......

The lightning reacted, and returned to the place where he had just left, and several people went out to look for a while, but there were a few deep pits next to the thorns, and someone was supposed to settle here.

With intuition, lightning came to the bottom of the hillside, and there was an official road in front of him, but there was nothing, and the heavy rain tonight had washed away the traces without a trace.

Lightning was annoyed, it was the momentary mistake just now that allowed the man to escape, and now he was afraid that he could not be found, and his eyes flashed with frustration.

Then a few people braved the rain to return to the camp, and the rain behind them was going down, but it was a mess of the spring water, and it was even more disturbing to the young man's mind.

The camp had already been packed up, Nangong Yueli and Nangong Xingchen had all returned to the camp, and all the generals and magnates were resting in the small tents.

When he came back, Nangong Xingchen was looking at the book of soldiers in the tent, and the candles illuminated the camp like daylight.

The lightning rained and his face became more and more cold and white, the buns on both sides were close to the skin, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "The subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't caught Xiaoyue." ”

"He fled."

"Yes."

"Well, you go down."

Nangong Xingchen was a little surprised, but he also knew that it was not impossible to escape death, besides, it was just a river, how could Xiao Yue not have this ability if he was a killer.

"Yes."

Lightning was slightly stunned and got up to leave.

It was still raining, dripping, and it sounded a little good in the camp, Nangong Xingchen raised his eyes, and the cool breeze outside the door was blowing the curtain rolling.

A night of wind and rain, the city is full of flowers.

When you wake up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning, the moment you push the door out, the fragrance of flowers fills your nose.

"Princess, you're awake."

The maid took the toiletry water and entered, but Luo Wushuang stayed at the door for a moment before slowly asking, "When do you say the prince can come back?" ”

"The princess misses the princess." The door where the maid smiled.

"Yes, I don't know when I can come back today, maybe in the evening, you will tell the kitchen later, tonight will be more hearty."

"Okay."

Luo Wushuang woke up and came back to the room to wash up, and after changing his clothes, he left the small courtyard and found a pavilion.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard are in full bloom, the petals are flying down, the wet bluestone platform, the red walls and green tiles, a rain seems to wash the courtyard away, and the things in front of you are clearer.

Lantai looks down, the clouds are uneven, the letter bird flies in the air, the light smoke and mist, the cool breeze is blowing, and the clouds and mist are slowly lifted to see the sun.

"Hmm." A soft moan sounded in my ears.

The man slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing everything around him, a burst of joy welled up in his heart, and the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe filled his heart.

Is this an inn?

Getting up to see the layout of the room, Xiao Yue sat up slowly, his hands covering his chest, which was already bandaged.

"You're awake."

The maid pushed the door and saw that the man had woken up, and immediately put down the breakfast in her hand.

"You saved me."

"It was my young lady who saved you, this is your breakfast, you use it first, I'll tell my young lady."

"Thank you."

The maid turned around and left and went to another room, and saw that her young lady was combing her hair on the dresser, and she had already washed and dressed up at the moment, only her maid was left with a pearl hairpin.

"Miss, the man is awake."

"Wake up, I'll take a look."

"Wait, Miss, you haven't put your head on the table yet, it's not good."

"What's this, it's not to meet important people."

“……”

The maid was speechless for a while, so she had to follow behind her own young lady.

Xiao Yue was dressed in gray clothes at the moment, sitting on a stool, eating the breakfast prepared by the maid, looking up and seeing the woman who saved him and her maid entering the door.
