103. Your Highness, I may not survive tonight
I've never seen Xu Guangguang like this.
In the years that he has been my adjutant general, he has always controlled his feelings very well, except for the new army to fight and relieve my worries, he has no emotional world of his own, no girl he likes, and no cherished affection of himself. I didn't even ask someone to tell him about the matchmaker, but he always refused, saying that he was a son of the field, maybe he would sacrifice his life for the country that day, and even other girls became widows at a young age, how should he be.
I believed it like this, even when I was in the same room with him and Cheng Yu, I never noticed his feelings for Cheng Yu.
He hid it so well.
He regarded Cheng Yu as the treasure in his heart, and he spent his life in this life to feel that he was not good enough for her, and hoped that Jin Ge War Horse would protect her in the next life.
But I really couldn't stand it, this scrawny man with bruises and bruises didn't even intend to cure his own illness, and he still wondered if the person he liked was well fed and warmly clothed.
The person who spoke over there was obviously not much moved, and said condescendingly: "It is impossible for the Lord to want to marry you, you have stayed with this prince for too long, and you have become more and more cowardly, and the Lord has lost confidence in you after the failure of the last mission, and your words have no other use except to add to her worries, I will not help you talk." ”
This king sneered and picked up Xu Guangguang and walked out of the door: "Did you hear that, it's time to die now?" ”
At this moment, a cold light suddenly broke through the night and came straight to my neck.
I woke up intuitively, and when I caught a glimpse of the cold light, I quickly turned around and protected Xu Guangguang behind me. But her blade was menacing, and I tore away the cold wind and quickly retreated half a foot away, but I still didn't avoid the tip of the knife that was approaching, and a shallow wisp of warmth seeped out of my neck, and suddenly, there was a bloody smell under my nose.
I looked at her in awe, and was about to pick out the sword with my backhand, but I found that there was no sword at all.
Doctor Cheng obviously saw the disadvantage of not carrying a weapon, and held the short knife to force it over, and I had no other way but to dodge. Xu Guangguang behind him was flashed by my movements, and he coughed nonstop. I thought for a moment, retreated to the corner of the courtyard wall, first put Xu Guangguang there, picked up a dead branch, and then turned around and continued to receive Dr. Cheng's move.
But Doctor Cheng's target didn't seem to be on me from the beginning, and when she sneaked up from behind, she aimed at Xu Guangguang on my back. I reacted instantly, Xu Guangguang was afraid that he would end up with the same fate as Lu Shu - it was useless, so he killed him.
It turned out that Cheng Yu was more cold-blooded than she imagined, even if this one was someone who had a marriage contract with her, she still didn't break up.
I became more and more angry, stood up with my sleeves, and used my internal strength to block Xu Guangguang's body, Cheng Yi saw this, and laughed mockingly: "I didn't plan to kill you today, but you just protect the person I want to kill like this, then I can only solve you together." ”
The withered branch in my hand was clenched by me, and I also looked at her and smiled, "I don't know where you got the confidence to think that you can kill this king?" ”
"Of course, my martial arts are not as good as the battle-hardened King Chong'an, but fortunately," she unhurriedly took out a porcelain vase from her sleeve pocket, her face full of ambition and description, and her tone became more and more proud, "I am good at healing and poisoning." ”
My heart tightened.
Seeing this, she smiled more and more wantonly, and glanced at Xu Guangguang's body: "His Royal Highness King Chong'an should not know yet, recently there was a plague outbreak in Kang'an Mansion in the west of the imperial capital, resulting in corpses all over the field, this porcelain bottle contains the blood of a child, the doll just turned five years old, and died three days after being infected with the plague." His parents were still waiting for the court to send someone to help, but who knew that their court didn't know about it at all. His Royal Highness King Chong'an, you can't even save the people of your own country, and you are still desperately protecting the people of our southern country, which is really moving. ”
The king really didn't know that there was an outbreak of the plague in Kang'an Mansion, and the recent excerpts submitted by local officials and court officials had been read by the king, but he had not seen the excerpts presented by Kang'an, and the fact that there was no song to report meant that the area was safe and sound. Is Doctor Cheng lying, or is the governor of Kang'an deliberately concealing it and not reporting it?
I couldn't figure it out for a while, I just knew that I couldn't be bluffed by her words, and the most important thing was to take Xu Guangguang out of here, otherwise the longer it dragged on, the more unlikely it would be for him to live.
But Xu Guangguang behind him raised his hand, tugged at the corner of my clothes with great effort, and reminded me in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't touch that bottle of blood...... It's going to catch the plague. Your Highness, she can't kill you, otherwise you can leave now, you leave me here, and I will hold her back......"
I scolded: "Now that the matter is over, who is still polite to this king?" If I leave you here and flee for your life, the reputation of this king will be ruined by your bad idea. Stay here and be silent. With that, he shook off his robe and broke free from the hand behind his back, and walked straight forward.
Cheng Yi's smile became a little weird, shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, and threatened: "Are you really not afraid of the contents of this bottle?" ”
This king is not an immortal who is immune to all diseases, how can he not be afraid, but what I am more afraid of is that she is holding this bottle of blood and doing something wrong, so more people will be infected with the plague, so from the moment she took out this porcelain bottle and told me what it contained, I made up my mind to want her to die.
When a person's purpose changes, his actions will change for him, either by showing mercy to his subordinates, or by making a move to kill without leaving him alive.
Cheng Yi obviously didn't expect that her words not only did not threaten the king, but instead stimulated the king's fighting spirit, her martial arts foundation was not solid, and the few tricks she used to take advantage of the unpreparedness were already her extraordinary performance, and now the king wanted to kill her with a strong murderous aura, even if she was holding a dead wood branch in her hand, she was not the king's opponent at all.
Sure enough, seeing me approaching, the short knife in her hand had already made it out of order, I easily dodged, the sword in my hand was steaming on the dead branches, the cold sword wind carried the dead branches forward, and a deep wound was cut on her hand with lightning speed, and a blood splashed out, the short knife in her hand had fallen to the ground, but the porcelain vase in her left hand was still firmly held.
When I was a child, I read books, and I often saw words that were forgiving and forgiving, and when I was a child, I thought that this seemed kind, but when I grew up, I found that being merciful to the lives of my enemies was irresponsible for my own lives and for the lives of others, and this is especially true tonight.
If the demon who was killed was originally dead, why did this king put down the butcher's knife.
So, I didn't break up with half of the breakup, and chased her straight to the opposite wall step by step, the dead branch in my hand took over the palm wind, and the next second I was about to get out of my hand and haunt her neck, but Cheng Yi, who was at the end of the road in front of me, suddenly had a cold eye, and threw the porcelain bottle in his hand towards Xu Guangguang on the opposite side!
"The Lord has told you to die, so take the initiative to fulfill her!" She let out a maniacal laugh.
"Bastard!" I was so angry that the dry branch in my palm came out of my hand and went straight into her throat, and the blood gushing out suddenly stained a large piece of the clothes on my chest, and her pupils instantly contracted and dilated, as if I couldn't believe that I was so decisive and would not be half soft.
I left Cheng Yi, who had become a dead man, and turned around and rushed to Xu Guangguang's side, only to find that he was lying on the ground in order to hide from the bottle of blood, and the porcelain bottle not far away had turned into pieces, and under the fragments was a pool of crimson blood.
I quickly turned around, rushed into the house, brought out all the coals, and poured them all on the pool of blood, and the courtyard crackled and lit a red fire, as if to burn everything clean.
Not far away, Xu Guangguang curled up there, staring at this scene in a daze.
"Blood splattered on you?" I asked hurriedly.
He was still stunned for a while, and then shook his head, and said to me with tears in his eyes: "I shouldn't have asked His Highness to bring me here tonight, because it has caused you a lot of danger." ”
"The king doesn't like to hear these words, so don't say them." I turned to the fire and said angrily, "When this fire is over, I'll take you out to find another doctor." ”
But the wind blew more and more urgently, and there was light snow in the sky, and Xu Guangguang shrank there and coughed more urgently, as tight as a burst.
When I picked him up again, I was running through the streets of the imperial capital, and his physical strength was gradually unable to support it.
"Your Highness, I may not survive tonight."
