It was another nightmare, and the king woke up from his sleep, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with cold water, and stared intently at the unlit sky outside the window———

Last night was unhappy again, when will the two be less radical and prejudiced and treat each other gently...... At the very least, be as open as a friend, just as you would with everyone else......

I went to Northern Xinjiang this time, I don't know when I will meet next time, is there really no reluctance and nostalgia......

The majestic Underworld Army lined up around the emperor's carriage and was ready to go, the king of You was dressed in military uniform, and the morning glow was sprinkled on the heavy iron armor, projecting the former's cold temperament. In the solemn atmosphere, King You lowered his eyes and let out a turbid breath, and immediately raised his head and ordered:

"Let's go—"

The silent air was cut through by the sound of neat footsteps, and the army dragged its horses outside the city gates with a long tail note.

King You held the reins, his mood was a little abrupt, the breeze blew the messy hair of his sideburns, and he was touched by inexplicable thoughts, and King You couldn't help but look back......

On the platform of the imperial city, will there be that - the figure that I am looking forward to......

Turning his head, the man on horseback smiled bitterly, when did he become so humble that he was annoyed...... I know that all the expectations are just a blank -

"Driving-" King You's horse smacked his horse's back, and the galloping war horse stepped on the smooth stone road, dragging a heavy heart, stepping through the boundless loneliness and sentimentality......

#########

The day's march was shortened by more than half because of the emperor's peers, and in order not to make the emperor feel bumpy and uncomfortable, the Stygian army slowed down by nearly half, and the army moved forward little by little, but fortunately found a relatively safe place to camp before dark.

Chu Xiu brought a bowl of warm medicinal soup from the back kitchen to King You, feeling that the face of the predecessor did not seem to be very good, and wanted to ask King You what happened, but he didn't know whether to ask or not, so he hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

After drinking the slightly bitter medicinal soup, King You looked at Chu Xiu's worried expression, knowing that he seemed to be looking too sluggish, and let out a deep sigh......

At this time, I shouldn't have been disturbed by trivial thoughts and troubled by inexplicable emotions...... But—

There is always some picture in my mind, a figure.

King Yu rubbed his eyebrows...... Now is not the time to think about that

Handing the empty bowl in the former's hand, King You raised his eyes and casually caught a glimpse of a foot in the kitchen, which seemed to pass a figure-

Wrapped in a jet-black military uniform, the man's hair was tied high, and the handsome and fair side face that always appeared in his memory flashed......

King You's heart palpitated - how could it be ......?

Chu Xiu saw the former's expression change drastically, and couldn't help asking:

"Boss, what's wrong?"

No way......

King You's eyes dimmed, wondering if he was crazy, and said indifferently:

"Take strict precautions tonight, and be sure to protect the emperor's safety."

Chu Xiu: "Yes!"

The cool breeze in the evening was quite chilly, which made people a little uncomfortable, and the king stood in the cold wind, looking at the dark and deep sky......

The road ahead is steep, and you must not be distracted by other things.

Turning around, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.

Isn't he crazy, how can he see her in such a place......

The former's figure was hidden under the curtain of the temporary kitchen where the army was stationed, and the king couldn't help but move to follow.

Carrying a bowl full of medicinal soup from the kitchen, Xie Lingxu lifted the curtain in front of him a little inconveniently, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that King You was standing in front of him, and almost splashed him without standing firm......

Xie Lingxu was taken aback: "King You, you-"

"Why are you here?" The former seemed to open his mouth with some impatience.

Xie Lingxu's eyes lowered, thinking that it was time for him to be questioned again.

King You restrained his look of surprise and some joy, and then his usual indifference and solemnity:

"Didn't you say you shouldn't come?"

Depend on...... Here we go again!

Xie Lingxu raised his head and said in a rather unkind tone:

"The emperor asked me to come."

A look of uncertainty flashed in the former's eyes, but Xie Lingxu ignored it, and continued:

"The emperor suffered a little cold, so he asked me to come and bring some medicinal soup, if the king is fine, I will go back first."

Xie Lingxu lowered her head and walked around the person in front of her, her cold gaze did not seem to have the slightest emotion, and King You turned to look at the back of the former without looking back, only to feel that every step she took was a decisive alienation, like a sharp sword, inserted into her chest alive......

Finally returned to the emperor's camp, recalling the scene when he met King You, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Compared with those who deliberately wanted to kill themselves, in fact, King You never hurt himself. Even if he was suspicious and prejudiced against himself, King You did not ask for any trouble for himself. But I don't know why, I always feel that there is an insurmountable gap between myself and him, and every time I see King You's indifferent and disdainful look towards him, I always can't control my emotions. Perhaps for himself, pride and prejudice are the culprits that kill all good feelings......

Walking to the emperor with a soup bowl, Xie Lingxu listened to Gonggong Shen expressionlessly and complained, "Why are you walking so slowly!" The emperor, who was wrapped in futon on the side, sneezed coldly, and was half-coaxed by Shen Su to drink a small half bowl of medicinal soup, and then fell asleep.

Shen Su: "The emperor has suffered some cold tonight, you stay by the saint's side and take good care, if something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks!" ”

Xie Lingxu replied weakly: "Yes." ”

Leaning against the pillar by the door tent staring blankly at the emperor on the bed, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but think: Shouldn't the emperor be unable to stand it before he arrives in northern Xinjiang? So the barbarians' strategy is - under the guise of peace, let the emperor who is weak and weak kill himself?

Xie Lingxu turned his head to look at the scattered fires outside the window, and thought: The road to Northern Xinjiang is still long, I don't know how long you can last......

After marching for several days, the emperor's body was completely rested. The emperor, who was infected with the cold, said that he was groggy and lying on the bed and did not want to get up, so the evil spirit also suspended the progress of the process.

At night, Xie Lingxu was trying to take care of the emperor, who was already troublesome and even more hypocritical when he was sick, and was looking for a chance to rest for a while, but the king came to visit at this time......

Groove ...... Dare to love and stage a drama of brotherly love?

King You: "The ministers see the emperor." How has the emperor's health improved recently? ”

Xie Lingxu secretly thought: I didn't expect King You to be quite straightforward, the meaning of this is that the emperor should also be fine, urging when to leave......

The emperor turned over to the wall, revealing a somewhat pale face:

"Mo Heng, you're here."

The emperor sat down with his hands:

"I've been doing it for the past few days...... The limbs were weak, very uncomfortable, and after taking the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, it did not get better. ”

Xie Lingxu: Did you really take the medicine?

King You: "The emperor takes care of his body, and when he is in a hurry, let's take it slowly." ”

Xie Lingxu felt that the two big men were shushing and asking for warmth, and he was indeed a little embarrassed to watch from the sidelines, so he interjected:

"Your Majesty, you talk slowly, I'll go out first and don't disturb you."

When he turned around, Xie Lingxu looked sideways at King You, who happened to turn his head to look at him, and didn't care about his expression, Xie Lingxu walked out of the tent quickly......

Although the air outside the tent was a little cool, it was still refreshing, Xie Lingxu took a breath, rubbed his sore neck with his hand, and thought about his thoughts all the way......

This time he went to the northern frontier, and the king of Shang actually recommended himself to bring hundreds of elite soldiers to go forward with the emperor, I really don't know if he was trying to show his loyalty, or if he had ulterior motives? It is really difficult to distinguish whether the Underworld Army, which has been greatly injured this time, will be helped or accompanied by a tiger, and Xie Lingxu always feels that he must not take the King of Shang lightly.

While thinking, he unconsciously walked past some garrisons guarded by the Underworld.

After walking a few meters, Xie Lingxu stopped his steps......

The guarding Underworld Army that he had just seen in a daze didn't seem to have the slightest impression of him. Although it is normal for Xie Lingxu to be blind and unable to recognize people, there is obviously something wrong with the person just now, his face is dark, his body is too tall and burly, and his well-defined facial features are very different from those around him...... Exotic feel......

Oops-

Xie Lingxu turned his head, but when he returned to the same place, the man was gone......

Could it be - barbarians?

…… If the barbarians are mixed into the barracks, then the emperor will be in danger-

"You-" Startled by the sudden voice, Xie Lingxu turned around and saw that King You was standing in front of him, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Xie Lingxu: "I saw a suspicious person just now, it seems to be a soldier disguised as a barbarian. ”

King You: "How's it going?" ”

Xie Lingxu shook his head: "I didn't catch it, when I reacted, he had already run away......"

"I'm asking how you are?" King Yu interrupted the former.

Xie Lingxu raised his eyebrows: "Me? I...... It's okay. ”

King You handed Xie Lingxu a bronze token, and said with a grim expression:

"This is the pass token for the journey, take it and return to the palace tomorrow."

"Why?" Xie Lingxu raised his chin.

King You looked at the former's clear eyes and was silent for a long time, "There is no reason, this is a military order." ”

Xie Lingxu felt that King You was simply inexplicable, did he suspect that he was a tip sent by the barbarians or an undercover agent laid by King You?

"Since the emperor asked me to come, then I should naturally listen to the emperor's orders. Although I am your subordinate, but at the moment, I should obey the emperor's orders, so I can't obey my orders. ”

The king looked at the stubborn person in front of him, and thought to himself, when did you obey anyone's orders, but you just did as you pleased......

Xie Lingxu bowed his hand to the former and then retreated...... The woman in front of her was still so arrogant and cold...... King Yu clenched the token in his hand and let out a long sigh in the silent cold night......
