Chapter 12 Sincerity
Yo, archery. ”
Speechless for a moment, Xie Lingxu took a step back and detached from his palm.
Chu Xiu saw the emperor coming in person and bowed his hand to him
"Your Majesty, you're here."
The emperor walked up to him with a glorious face: "I'm idle, I'm going to wander around, and I'm here without knowing it." ”
"The emperor's daily concern for military affairs is really commendable"
Xie Lingxu closed his eyes, too lazy to ridicule this untechnical sycophant.
"Eh, where has the King of You?"
"Go back to the emperor, coach him, and guide the training over there."
"European ...... Then I'll go and take a look. ”
The emperor took two steps and then stopped suddenly
"I'm a little thirsty, do you have tea here?"
"Your Majesty, I'll pour you tea."
"No need." The emperor turned his head and hooked his index finger in the direction of Xie Lingxu: "You, don't practice, come and serve me tea." ”
Xie Lingxu's eyebrows locked, and he moved to follow.
Chu Xiu saw the dark red blood dripping from the sand after she left, and he was secretly worried in his heart, not knowing how injured she was and how long she could hold on......
Xie Lingxu shrunk his hand in his sleeve and held the tea, so as not to stain these things with blood, looking at the expressionless King You in front of him and the emperor who looked like a brainless boy were relatively speechless, Xie Lingxu could feel the embarrassment in the air from afar.
"Ahem...... Brother Mo Heng, recently, what is the situation in the northern Xinjiang, I heard that the barbarians have been very unpeaceful recently."
Xie Lingxu secretly thought: Isn't the military situation in the frontier the first time to report to the emperor? Why did he still hear about it?
King You still couldn't see the waves on his face, but he was a little surprised that the emperor, who didn't listen to the affairs outside the window, had heard about the affairs of the northern frontier
"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, the barbarians are not a threat now." I thought to myself how he could be worried, full of only thinking about how to have fun.
"Then I'll be relieved."
The conversation that lasted less than a minute came to an abrupt end, Xie Lingxu looked at the awkward conversation between the two, and really couldn't figure out what it meant, the wound began to hurt again, and his wrist was weak, and he almost dropped the tea he was holding.
The feeling of the world spinning came again, only to feel that the world in front of me was upside down and dim, and I didn't know whether it was the heaven and the earth or myself that was spinning......
In a trance, I saw the emperor beckoning to him, and his figure in dragon robe flickered far and near, flickering and tilting......
"Come here, pour tea for me and Brother Mo Heng."
Xie Lingxu walked crookedly, every step seemed to be stepping on the ethereal void, and in the next second, he would fall from this unpredictable illusion, but even if he was covered in bruises, no one would care.
Standing in front of the wooden table between the emperor and the king of You, Xie Lingxu's hand holding the teapot trembled violently, the ghost of the cup mouth was shaking in front of him, and he poured tea into a pile of cup shadows in an unknown direction, and his soul had already flown out thousands of miles away.
King You looked at Xie Lingxu, who had been pouring tea on the table, and felt that she was as useless as the emperor, and couldn't help but frown
"You can't do a good job of serving tea and pouring water, what can you do!"
The tea poured to the ground, and Xie Lingxu's hand pouring the tea paused, closed his eyes, and exhaled heavily.
The emperor coughed lightly and approached her, patting Xie Lingxu on the shoulder
"Eh, are you alright?"
The person in front of him was weak, and he fell into the emperor's arms, and the emperor looked shocked
"Hey...... Hey, what's wrong with you, Xie Lingxu? ”
I only felt that the body in my arms was cold, but the right side of my chest was hot. The emperor wiped it with his hand, stained with a hand of blood. Xie Lingxu in his arms had no blood on his face, and the emperor raised his eyes to look at King You, who was still unchanged at the moment, with a somewhat solemn expression
"King You doesn't even care about the life and death of his subordinates?"
King You's eyes moved, he glanced at Xie Lingxu, who was unconscious in the emperor's arms, and turned his back indifferently......
The refreshing sandalwood soaked into his nose and struggled out of the dark blue that surrounded him, Xie Lingxu opened his eyes and looked at the dark beams with a vacant gaze.
I realized that I was lying in my room, but how could there be sandalwood in my room? It was the smell of incense lit daily in the emperor's bedroom. Unless...... Xie Lingxu turned his head and saw that the emperor was leaning against the head of the bed, falling asleep with his eyes closed. The smell of sandalwood on his body was very reassuring.
Why is he here? Xie Lingxu thought desperately, he seemed to have fainted, and before he lost consciousness, he seemed to be leaning on something, something? Xie Lingxu glanced at the emperor's face and ...... This thing...... It seems to be the emperor.
The emperor frowned, opened his eyes, and smiled at her when he was looking at Xie Lingxu's eyes
"You're awake."
Xie Lingxu saw a dark red on the emperor's chest, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and blurted out
"Your Majesty...... Why help me? ”
The emperor leaned back in his chair, and seemed to be very surprised by the question of Xie Lingxu
"How do you ask this? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you express your deep gratitude for saving you? ”
Gratitude is there, but it's not deep, the kindness of people in high positions is fleeting or will be like a yellow crane, helping once, it doesn't mean that they will help every time in the future, maybe in the end, you will find that to your own death, is the person who has sincerely helped you.
"Tsk...... The reason is not simple, because I treat you as a friend. ”
Xie Lingxu glanced at the emperor's clear gaze and felt that it was either the ordinary gaze of a simple and simple person, or the excellent performance of a person who was good at disguise. However, for him, Xie Lingxu didn't want to guess or think too much, in such an insignificant position, whether he wanted to think or not, whether it was right or wrong, it didn't matter in the first place.
"I asked Shen Su to bring you the medicine to treat your injuries and put it on the table, don't go to the Yuanyuan Palace if your injuries are not healed, let's recuperate first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing that Lingxu was not very eager to say a word of gratitude, the emperor smiled meaninglessly, got up and left.
Xie Lingxu looked at his back and thought to himself: He is sincere...... Do you want to treat me as a friend? What kind of person is he?
I don't know if it's the medicine given by the emperor is too spiritual, or the self-repair ability of Xie Lingxu is too strong, within two days, the body will fully recover, what makes me puzzling is that after healing, his endurance is much longer than before, and his swordsmanship seems to have improved a little, and there is a feeling that he has opened up the second pulse of Ren Du.
Xie Lingxu aimed his arrows at the target, and now he can hit the bull's-eye effortlessly, and his archery skills are about to catch up with the underworld army around him.
King You stood on the pavilion outside the Floating Dream Pavilion, looking at her calm archery from a distance, her thin back was quite graceful, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Xie Ling shot an arrow outward, the arrow was quite powerful, the arrow feathers swirled and set off a stream of air, and in less than a moment, the fierce armor-piercing arrow was firmly rooted in the bull's-eye, and at the same time heard a voice behind him, "Meet the emperor." ”
Turning around, seeing the emperor waving to him with a slight smile, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but smile at him, it was a natural smile from the heart, which was different from the previous pretended pandering. Seeing her such a bright and clean smile, the emperor was stunned, as if he was a little unexpected, and his steps stumbled.
Seeing that the emperor fell as if he was frightened, Xie Lingxu didn't know why, so he smiled, turned his head, and shot an arrow in a dashing manner.
The emperor walked up to Xie Lingxu, felt that her eyes aimed at the target were a little ruthless, and spoke
"The arrow is a good shot!"
Letting go of his hand, Xie Lingxu said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Chu Xiu smiled again and pasted it over: "Yo, Your Majesty, you are here again." ”
Xie Lingxu inexplicably felt that Chu Xiu was interesting to the emperor, and every time the emperor came up to the Yuanyuan Palace, Chu Xiuzhun came over as soon as possible.
The emperor didn't want to pay attention to Chu Xiu's "harassment", so he snatched the arrow arm from Xie Lingxu's hand and said, "Let me try it too"
didn't expect the emperor to reach out and grab the arrow, so he couldn't help but sigh. Seeing the emperor's innocent face as a child's sister-in-law and looking at the face of the toy blossoming, Xie Lingxu couldn't bear to refuse him, so he let him take it.
"Your Majesty, just follow the example of the people next to you." As he spoke, he took a few steps back, afraid that the emperor would send him directly to the west with a random arrow.
The emperor's thin white hand weakly pulled the string and released the arrow, and the arrow body shot less than five meters before he died of anger, and fell down. Xie Lingxu didn't want to laugh at him, the emperor was thankful that he didn't use arrows to harm sentient beings, and he never thought that he could shoot arrows at the target.
The emperor complained and pulled the strings with the strength of milk. Armor-piercing arrows can no longer be said to be armor-piercing, at most they are rags. The rag arrows trembled and shot out, hanging dangerously crookedly on the edge of the grass target.
The eunuchs behind the emperor suddenly applauded in unison, which frightened Xie Lingxu into a spirit.
Yang Ling said in his somewhat shrill voice: "The emperor is really powerful! ”
"Of course, I practiced arrows with King You when I was a child."
Xie Lingxu felt that the person in front of him was simply ashamed, and couldn't help but glance at him,
"Your Majesty, you didn't notice that your arrow was shot at someone else's target?"
After speaking, seeing the emperor's eunuchs and harems, they said the truth with a blind face, what the emperor's target is the target of others, and the expression of the emperor's target is the emperor's target all over the world.
The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with his record, "What's this, isn't that target like a person on the battlefield, killing the person in front of me is the same as killing the person next to me!" ”
Heh, then how do you know if the person next to you is our comrade-in-arms?
But there is no point in worrying about these with the emperor, and it is impossible for him to go to the battlefield, a stupid person like him who has no head or brain, it is enough to save a small life in this dangerous palace. Xie Lingxu faintly felt that if one day in the future, he needed to desperately protect the emperor Zhou Quan, and he might be willing.
"Chu Xiu, go find a sword for me to play with."
Chu Xiu was frightened into a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, forget it, the sword has no eyes, what should I do if I hurt you for a while?" ”
Xie Lingxu secretly thought: If the emperor stabs himself, it is estimated that he as an eyewitness will also finish playing.
The emperor was deflated for a moment: "I really can't dance with a knife or a gun." Seeing that his eyes lit up, a trace of uneasiness surged into Xie Lingxu's heart: "But I can ride a horse!" ”
Yes, yes, it can be used to escape, and the emperor's equestrian skills must be very clever.
The emperor smiled: "By the way, you two, and, Brother Mo Heng......"
As soon as Xie Lingxu turned around, he saw that King You was walking slowly, and he turned his back silently with a sinking face.
"See the Emperor." The emperor of the You Dynasty clenched his fists, with a face of indifference that was neither sad nor happy.
"Brother Mo Heng, you came just in time, I just wanted to tell you that I plan to go to the Wind Ming Forest to ride a horse in a few days."
"Oh...... Who does the emperor plan to take with him? ”
"You, me, and ...... Shang King. ”
King You's always calm expression flashed a hint of strangeness, and after a while, there was no trace, and he responded lightly: "Good ......." ”
Xie Lingxu inexplicably felt that this title was somewhat familiar, but he didn't plan to toss his barren memory, so he didn't think about it anymore.
