Chapter 126: Priceless Treasure
It was late autumn, and the night was very cold.
Shigetsu couldn't help but hug her shoulders tightly.
King Yan saw it in his eyes and leaned forward to Xiyue, "An'an, is it cold?" You wait here, I'll go collect some firewood and make a fire for you!" ”
Xiyue looked around at the pitch black, a little scared, "Otherwise, I'll go collect firewood with you!" I...... I'm scared! ”
At the foot of the pitch-black cliffs, where you could barely reach your fingers, you could hear the barking of wild beasts from time to time, and see the dark green eyes that glittered in the night.
King Yan knew that An An was afraid.
"There are wild beasts under this cliff, it's so dark, it's hard for us to find a way, we have to make a fire, one is to keep warm, and the other is to drive away the beasts, An An, if you're afraid, I'll cut some dead branches around here, you just follow me!"
Xiyue nodded and followed closely beside King Yan.
King Yan's left hand was injured and he couldn't use his strength, so he could only carry the short knife he wore with him, found a dead tree, and cut some branches.
"Whew......" a wolf howled.
The sound was so creepy in the dark of night.
Subconsciously, Xiyue tightly hugged King Yan from behind, "Lord Wang, there are wolves!" ”
Xiyue was close to her body, and King Yan could feel her shivering.
"So this girl is scared too?" King Yan muttered in his heart.
"An An, with me, you don't have to be afraid! Aren't they just beasts and jackals? ”
Xiyue floated on the broad back of the Yan King, and felt the power that came from the Yan King's body.
Xiyue let go of the Yan King.
King Yan found a large rock to block the wind, and then built a bonfire at the foot of the rock.
The flames swayed in the wind.
Shioduki felt a lot warmer.
King Yan gathered the fire with a dry branch, and by the light of the fire, Xiyue noticed King Yan's handsome and angular face.
"Actually, he doesn't seem to be that annoying!" Shigetsu thought as she hugged her knees.
"An An girl, what are you thinking about staring at the face of this king? Aren't you moved by this king? King Yan had long been aware of Xi Yue's gaze sweeping on his face, and a faint evil smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
"What's there, how can I look at you, besides, your uncle, what's so good-looking, the prince will really be amorous!" Shizuki pursed her lips, her mouth stiff.
Uncle?! Yan Wang repeated, when An An is naughty, he will call himself uncle, yes, his sons are two years older than her!
"An An, what day tomorrow is, do you know?"
Shigetsu didn't react.
"What kind of day could it be?"
"Look at you, I didn't care about it from the bottom of my heart, right, tomorrow is the day when you and I officially visit the church, and it is also the day when you really become the wife of this king!" King Yan is full of longing, in the past, as long as she wanted to get close to her, she would prevaricate with this matter that had not yet visited the church, and after tomorrow, see what excuses she had to find!
In King Yan's opinion, tomorrow is so important, he has been waiting for this day for a long time!
Tomorrow Xiyue will be able to justifiably be his own woman!
Thinking of tomorrow, Xiyue's heart couldn't help but tremble, she had prayed that something would happen at her wedding, so that she wouldn't have to worship with King Yan, she really responded, this accident really came as soon as she said it, and almost took the lives of two people, today fortunately King Yan arrived in time, otherwise she would really die on this cliff, so high, it must be not a joke to fall down!
Xiyue is still a little scared when she thinks about it.
"Lord Wang, why did you come here?" Shizuki put aside the sensitive topic of the chapel.
"This king has a lot of things in the army recently, and he didn't care about going back to the house, after today's Shen Shi, I want to take the time to go back to see how things are prepared in the house, but as soon as I returned to the house, I knew that you were actually invited out by me with a letter, Bi Luo let this king see the letter, the handwriting is indeed similar to my god, I can see that this person has used a lot of thought! At that time, this king didn't think so much, and asked Mrs. Ning about the characteristics and physique of the person who took you, and in a trance, I felt that when I entered the city, I saw the purple-topped sedan chair that overloaded you, and it was coming in the direction of Mochiyue Peak, and I rushed here without saying a word, fortunately, it was not too late! ”
"Lord Wang, in fact, I also felt a little strange when I held the letter at that time, but Mrs. Ning said that the handwriting was indeed yours, although I was reluctant at the time, but I still decided to come out and take a look, the person who picked me up was wearing the clothes of your army soldiers, I recognized this kind of clothing, the soldiers who escorted Scarbeard at Mochizuki Peak in those days were wearing such clothes!"
King Yan lowered his head and pondered, who was so scheming to put Xiyue to death, and dared to imitate his own handwriting, this person really ate the courage of an ambitious leopard!
"Xiyue, what clues did you find, do you know the origin of these people who killed you?"
"The leader didn't look clear, he was wearing a small silver mask, but he said that he was a well-known cold-faced killer in the rivers and lakes!"
'Cold Face Killer'?! King Yan has also heard that this person has always only recognized money and not people, I am afraid that as long as people dare to pay a high price, even if he is asked to assassinate the current saint, he will definitely take risks for money, but he has no fixed place, and there are not too many people who know his whereabouts!
Who can have a relationship with the people on the rivers and lakes? I think this person is also a person with a background!
King Yan would never have thought that this person would actually be his most proud son, Zhu Gaozhi!
Xiyue suddenly laughed heartlessly, and the laughing King Yan didn't know what was wrong.
"Silly girl, what are you smiling at?"
"Lord, do you know? I, Mu Xiyue, am actually a valuable person, I am actually worth so much gold! Shigetsu stretched out five fingers.
King Yan deliberately teased Xiyue: "Why five taels of gold!" ”
Xiyue smiled proudly: "It's five hundred taels of gold!" This man is really bloody! ”
King Yan deliberately measured Xiyue for a long time with a serious face, and said in a puzzled tone: "Such a stupid girl, five hundred taels of gold is really expensive enough!" ”
"What do you say?" Shizuki was disgusted.
King Yan laughed haha, and when he laughed, the two mustaches also raised his lips, which was very good-looking.
Xiyue was teased by King Yan like this, and her face turned red.
By the light of the fire, looking at the shy flowers of the people in front of him, King Yan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but hook Xiyue's chin: "You have more than five hundred taels of gold in the heart of this king, you are the priceless treasure of this king!" An'an, you know what? It's priceless, I can't imagine that if you had an accident today, would I go crazy? King Yan's eyes were blurred and full of affection.
King Yan's face approached Xiyue, and Xiyue wanted to break free, but King Yan's hand was too strong, don't kiss it, don't! Shizuki thought to herself.
"His Royal Highness King Yan! Concubine Ann! In the distance, there was a faint sound of people calling, and torches were faintly visible.
It seems that someone from the house sent someone to find it.
King Yan had no choice but to let go of Xiyue.
Xiyue breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, these people are really looking for the time!
Xiyue shouted at the top of her voice: "People are here!" ”
Soon the torches in the distance began to approach in this direction.
"Quick, quick, it's Concubine An and His Royal Highness King Yan, they are still alive!"
Soon a group of people gathered around King Yan, led by Steward Qin and Deputy General Yao.
Seeing that King Yan and they were still alive, they were very excited.
"Lord Wang, it's okay if you're okay!" Vice General Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and received Zhu Shizi's order tonight, and immediately led hundreds of elite soldiers and strong generals to look for them along the cliff.
"Haha, this king is fine, let the brothers worry!"
"Lord Wang, your arm?" Vice General Yao saw King Yan's bandaged arm.
"It's fine, just some scrapes! Okay, hurry back, this Concubine An is frightened and has to go back to the house quickly! Vice General Yao, you take the brothers back to the barracks first, and this king accompanies Concubine An and Steward Qin back to their homes! ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
Back in the house, it was already the second half of the night.
Bi Luo didn't sleep all night, and Mrs. Ning was still waiting in Mingyue Pavilion.
"Miss, Miss, you're back! Scared the hell out of Bilo! Bi Luo excitedly took Xiyue's hand and checked Xiyue back and forth.
Seeing the intact Xiyue, Bi Luo and Mrs. Ning's hanging hearts finally relaxed.
"Concubines see the prince!" Mrs. Ning saw King Yan behind him salute him, Mrs. Ning's eyes were sharp, and she first saw King Yan's arm bandaged, and blood oozed out, she was very distressed: "Lord Wang, your injury, let the concubine take a look!" ”
"Ying Ning, it doesn't matter, it's so late, are you still waiting for An An here?"
"Yes, Sister Ning, I'm worried about you!" Xiyue saw that Mrs. Ning and Bi Luo had been staying at this time, and she was very grateful.
"Where? You are the one I watched out of the house with my own eyes, and you said that if you have three long and two short, how can I feel at ease! "Mrs. Ning is obviously very guilty about persuading Xiyue to leave the mansion today.
"Okay, my good sister, don't worry, okay, I can't blame you for this, if you want to blame the person who wants to harm me, it's all about scheming! Okay, it's not too early today, you can rest with me in this Mingyue Pavilion! "Xiyue didn't want Mrs. Ning to go back so late.
King Yan saw that Xiyue kept Mrs. Ning, and he couldn't stay in Mingyue Pavilion and didn't leave, so he had to go back to Xiangruixuan.
In this auspicious ruixuan, Concubine Shu and Zhu Gaozhi were also very anxious, and this Qin housekeeper came to report that King Yan and Concubine An were safe and sound, and Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it didn't make a big mistake.
After sending the next person, Concubine Shu held Zhu Gaozhi's hand tightly: "Zhi'er, God bless, your father is finally fine, Zhi'er, today's matter, God knows that you know and I know, don't mention it in front of anyone, if your father asks you where you are during the day today, you will say that you haven't seen your mother for a few days, and you miss it a little, go back to the house to see your mother, your mother is not feeling well, you have been with your mother, and you haven't gone anywhere." Remember, you're not going anywhere today! The caliber of our two mothers must be the same! Remember! ”
Concubine Shu told Zhu Gaozhi for a long time, and Zhu Gaozhi nodded again and again.
