After the two of them rested, they finally started the long mountain climb again.

It's just that when I went back this time, my mood was extremely comfortable, and I finally successfully solved my purpose and successfully completed the task. The way back has also become a lot easier.

The two of them walked comfortably on the hillside in the summer evening breeze, completely leaving the hustle and bustle of the town behind them, together with the old man of Yifu and Miss Yi Xinlian.

Afterwards, the development here will be handed over to others to manage and be responsible, and Xiang Zixi will not plan to come back even if he is killed!

The two of them walked and stopped, blowing the cool night breeze while looking for a suitable place to camp.

Because they were in a hurry, most of the two people's things were thrown in Yifu. Of course, there aren't many important things, and the really important ones are on you. Who can be so stupid as to put something about life in a strange place? Therefore, even if two people escaped, they ran out, and only then did they purchase enough daily necessities along the way.

Anyway, there is a Ji Yan who exists like a strong man by his side, and he doesn't feel tired and hard to resist many things! Xiang Zixi only carried the food on the road, clean drinking water and necessary salt, and handed over all the other things to Ji Yan.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the two of them finally found a leeward place and dug a pit by hand, which was considered a resting place for tonight.

Ji Yan put down the things in his hand, took out dry food and water from Zixi, and gave Ji Yan more than half of it, just dealing with dinner so simply.

Ji Yan didn't eat directly, but asked Xiang Zixi: "Xiang Xiang, you tell me the truth, what would you do if the closest person around you betrayed you?" ”

Xiang Zixi, who was eating, stiffened his fingers: "What nonsense are you talking about!" My friends will not betray me or betray me! If he betrayed me, then he would not be my friend! ”

Ji Yan glanced at her with a complicated expression, threw the dry food in his hand into his mouth, and never said a word again.

Xiang Zixi said softly: "Ji Yan, promise me, never betray me!" Even if the whole world will betray me, but you can't! ”

Ji Yan suddenly lay on the grass: "Why? Why can't the person who betrayed you be me, not Jin Haoxuan or someone else? ”

Xiang Zixi looked up at the starry sky and said softly: "Because, I take you very seriously, if you really want to betray me one day, then kill me before I know it, so that I never know!" ”

"How heavy is it?" Ji Yan turned his head to look at Xiang Zixi: "Xiang Xiang, do you know?" I am confident that I can read through the hearts of many people, but I can't see through yours! ”

"Ji Yan!" Xiang Zixi lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of sadness: "I'm sorry, I know that I am very selfish, and when I know that I can't give you hope, I still selfishly want to hold you in the palm of my hand." Because, I am an insecure woman. Yes, growing up, I didn't have a real sense of security. Everything I did was to hide the fear in my heart and prevent others from discovering my vulnerability. ”

Ji Yan looked at her quietly.

Xiang Zixi sighed lightly and said, "I don't know if you can understand me when I say this, but in fact, I am a person with a dual personality. In addition to the identity of Xiang Zixi in Xiangjia Town, which is clearly manifested on the surface, I also have another identity, and that identity is a secret that I can't say. Because even if I did, you wouldn't be able to understand it. Therefore, I can only simply explain that there is another me in my heart, and that other me is not Xiang Zixi from Xiangjiazhen, but a street child who has been abandoned since he was a child and does not know who his parents are. Abandoned maliciously, left outside, hesitant, helpless, cold, hungry, panicked, scared, hopeless, helpless...... All the negative feelings came in an instant. I was so scared, I felt as if I had become a person from another world, and looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, I suddenly felt that life was worse than death. ”

"When I wake up, I am Xiang Zixi, and when I am asleep, I am another me." Xiang Zixi said softly: "And you, always appear when I am asleep, your meaning to me is like a wall in another world that shelters me from the wind and rain, although it is cold, it will give me warmth." ”

Xiang Zixi looked up at Ji Yan, tears flashing in her eyes: "I don't know when I became dependent on you. Actually, you've already discovered it, haven't you? I keep saying I don't like you, I hate you, but I—but I can't live without you! Yes, I'm such a contradictory woman, so bad and so bad that I hate it! However, Ji Yan, I still can't deny this dependence of mine! ”

"To you, I may just be an ordinary friend, no matter how important, it doesn't matter much! But for me, my life can actually be divided into several parts, there is love, there is family affection, there is friendship, and each part is so heavy that I will be miserable if I miss one piece. The tears in the corners of Xiang Zixi's eyes slipped down suddenly: "And you, you have begun to occupy these three feelings at the same time, but I can't tell which one it belongs to!" I'm sorry, Ji Yan, I'm sorry, I know I'm very selfish like this, but I still beg you, never betray me! Forever! ”

Ji Yan sat up slowly, stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiang Zixi's eyes, and said softly: "Fool......"

Xiang Zixi grabbed Ji Yan's hand, lowered his head, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really annoying enough!" I think I'm so annoying myself! ”

Ji Yan laughed softly: "Fool! As long as you need me, I won't leave! Unless ————"

Xiang Zixi's eyes widened suddenly: "Unless?" ————”

Ji Yan covered up his eyes in a panic: "No, it's nothing!" Xiang Xiang, I'm not kidding, I'm serious about you! ”

Xiang Zixi was stunned: "What serious?" ”

"I mean, I liked ———— be careful from the beginning!" When Ji Yan said this, he suddenly grabbed Xiang Zixi, dragged her into his arms, rolled on the spot, and instantly hid away from the place!

A series of sharp arrows suddenly appeared ———— where Xiang Zixi was sitting just now!

"What people!" Xiang Zixi shouted in horror: "Why do you want to deal with us? ”

In the darkness, several black shadows quietly appeared, slowly touching the direction of the two people. One of the black shadows said gloomily: "Xiang Zixi, today next year will be your death day!" This time, you won't be able to dodge! ”

At this time, Ji Yan and Xiang Zixi also quietly had several dark shadows behind them, and then many figures appeared on the left and right. They are surrounded!

Ji Yan was shocked to find that all of these people who came were not weak! They are very professional in lurking, and even they are keenly aware of it when the other party attacks! If it weren't for the murderous aura of the other party, he was too sensitive, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to detect it!

In other words, these people who came were all top killers who were almost the same level as themselves or even the same as themselves!

Ji Yan's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the huge murderous aura suddenly exploded!

"Who the hell are you?" Xiang Zixi said coldly: "Even if I am allowed to die, I should always be allowed to die, right?" Along the way, from Yaoguo to the Dark Kingdom, who is the mastermind behind you? ”

Ji Yan said in a low voice: "Xiang Xiang, these people are very tricky, and I can't fight the enemy at the same time alone. I'll hold them back for a while, you run quickly! ”

Xiang Zixi said absolutely: "No! To go together, to stay together, to die, also together! ”

"Towards you! Now is not the time to make gas! Ji Yan shouted: "No matter how strong my martial arts are, I can't contain so many masters!" ”

Xiang Zixi said quietly: "I don't mean to be angry with you. Ji Yan, I'm not that kind of person, I can use my companion as a tool, I can escape by myself regardless of the life or death of my companion, no, never! If I can't give you a satisfactory answer when I'm alive, then I'll give you a satisfactory answer when I'm dead! If you can't sleep together in life, then you want to be in the same cave after death! ”

The last sentence, Xiang Zixi roared out with a roar, Ji Yan was stunned, and his eyes were instantly ruddy! It turns out that she doesn't understand! She's just afraid she's hurt!

Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang, how can you make me not love you? Your empathy, your cleverness, your foolishness, you know? That's another kind of cruelty to me!

Xiang Zixi slowly pulled out his scimitar and let out a long breath.

That thing has been returned to Jin Haoxuan, so he has no regrets!

"Hmph, it's really as deep as the sea! Yes, today you are going to make a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate! The killer in front of him said coldly: "Come on!" ”

The killer rushed in the direction of Zixi, and Ji Yan blocked her in a flash. At the same time, killers from the other three directions also rushed towards the two men! No matter how powerful Ji Yan is, he can't fight more than twenty masters of the same level at the same time, and he still has to protect Xiang Zixi behind him.

After only a dozen moves, Ji Yan's body was already embarrassed.

Seeing the injuries on Ji Yan's body, Xiang Zixi's eyes were about to split: "Don't!" ”

Ji Yan guarded Xiang Zixi to the death, and said coldly: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be Lord Huyan, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army of the Emperor of the Dark Kingdom!" ”

Xiang Zixi looked at Ji Yan deadly: "What did you say?" What Dark Country's Guards? What does that mean? ”

Ji Yan sighed lightly: "Xiang Xiang, in the Dark Country, there are only two people who can mobilize the Royal Forest Army. One is the current emperor, and the other is the crown prince of the Dark Kingdom, Jin Haoxuan! ”

Xiang Zixi was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji Yan in disbelief: "Then do you mean that the person who gave this order is either the emperor of the Dark Kingdom or Jin Haoxuan?" No! It's impossible! No, it must not be like this! Haoxuan, he would never be like this! ”
