Chapter 37: Death Is So Near

"So this Xiao Ling is from the same southern country?" ET

"No, she's not from the South." Liu Shiyan replied without hesitation, "We met when we were in Wuguan, when those Yelang people chased after us, the princess was taken away and we were trapped, and I heard the princess say that it was this passing woman who saved her." ”

Liu Shiyan thought about it and began to try to recall the events of that day: "It's just that Princess Yushu didn't say that she was going to take her to the palace with her, and Princess Yushu suddenly mentioned it to me the day after she arrived at General Meng's military camp. ”

"Then do you remember that the little girl you saw for the first time was what she is now, without the slightest change?" Meng Tian suddenly spoke, asking this somewhat confusing word, but no one knew how much expectation he had in his heart when he asked it.

Meng Yi and Liu Shiyan looked at him inexplicably when they heard Meng Tian's words, and it took a while for Liu Shiyan to come to his senses and say with some uncertainty: "It seems to be!" ”

Liu Shiyan wasn't sure what Xiao Ling was like at that time, when he knew that he had lost Yushu and found her and saw her safely, he just put his mind at ease where he could notice anything else, let alone see what Xiao Ling looked like!

Besides, Xiao Ling at that time had just been fighting with the white harrier for a while, and he was blocked between them by Yushu when he spoke, so he naturally didn't have a chance to see what she looked like, and he didn't see Xiao Ling's face until the next day, and Xiao Ling had already changed his face at that time!

It was precisely because of this that when Xiao Ling appeared in front of Liu Shiyan after being changed by Yushu's face later, he didn't notice anything wrong at all, which saved Yushu the trouble of explaining it to him.

After listening to Liu Shiyan's words, Meng Tian looked very disappointed, although he knew that it was not very likely, but he still had some illusions, and it was inevitable that he would be broken by Liu Shiyan's words: "In this case, I will definitely find out about this matter, General Liu can go and prepare, and we will set off in a while." ”

"Did the eldest brother suspect anything when he asked Liu Shiyan like that just now?" After Liu Shiyan left, Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian and asked curiously.

"Nothing!" Meng Tian's eyes looked at the bow on the bandage on Meng Yi's leg as he spoke, "It's just that it suddenly occurred to me that someone once said that this princess of the same southern country not only has medical skills, but also has a supernatural disguise technique." ”

Meng Yi followed Meng Tian's eyes and saw the bow on his leg, and his heart was clear: "Hmm! I've heard it before, and I want to see it when I have the opportunity. ”

"Big brother, from Liu Shiyan's words just now, can you see if they have any conspiracy?" Meng Tian suddenly shifted the topic to Liu Shiyan, after all, each of them still had no trust in him Meng Yi.

"Impossible, Wang Ben is not so stupid as to cause some trouble at this juncture." Meng Tian shook his head firmly and denied Meng Yi's guess, and then said, "It's just that this Liu Shiyan wants to tie up Princess Yushu!" ”

"What you mean is that this is completely just Liu Shiyan's meaning, he will agree to Princess Yushu to bring one more person, just to meet her." Meng Yi guessed along with Meng Tian's words.

"It should be, after all, Princess Yushu is the king's concubine when she arrives in Xianyang City, and it may be more effective than Wang Ben to talk to the king, but his mind is simple, he just thought of the benefits, and didn't think of anything else." Meng Tian continued with Meng Yi's words.

Meng Tian said and snorted disdainfully: "This Liu Shiyan is famous for his courage and resourcefulness, but he is very good at slapping horses, otherwise he would not have stood out among the many guests of the Wang family so quickly and got this errand." Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Jian retired, his son was so ignorant. ”

As soon as Meng Yi heard Meng Tian's words, he was immediately displeased when he thought of Liu Shiyan's appearance just now: "As long as he is still a seven-foot man, when he sees that the matter is revealed, he immediately leaves it clean and clean, and he actually pushes everything on a woman's body, and the Wang family will lose sooner or later with such a person." ”

"Let's observe this matter for the time being, what is going on, don't make a noise for now." Meng Tian instructed Meng Yi.

"But I'm going to Xianyang City this afternoon, do you still have time to observe?" Meng Yi was a little worried, if the identity of the woman was as they thought, wouldn't that be a tiger for trouble? At that time, the crisis will not be as simple as one or two people.

"Yes, I guarantee that even if she enters Xianyang City, she will not be able to enter the Qin Palace." Meng Tian said confidently, exuding a fierce aura all over his body.

Knowing that she could reach Xianyang City in the afternoon, Xiao Ling was extremely excited, because as soon as she arrived in Xianyang City, it meant that she had to go to the Qin Palace, and in modern times, she knew that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang were very spectacular, but she had never had the opportunity to visit Xi'an!

Since she didn't have the opportunity to see the place where the first emperor of the ages died and lived, it would be good to be able to visit the place where he lived when he was alive, but she still remembered how the awkward ancient texts in the book described the palace of the Qin State, and of course she was so excited that she couldn't calm down when she thought of them.

Compared with Xiao Ling's excitement, Yushu seemed a little sullen, she couldn't be happy when she thought that she was about to arrive in Xianyang City, and she was still very irritable, because she knew that entering Xianyang City meant that she had to say goodbye to everything before, and the past would become the past.

Maybe she can let go of everything in the past, the only one is Meng Yi, although they have no results now, but at least she can see him, but from then on there is an insurmountable obstacle between them. It was not only the high palace wall that stood in their way, but also an invisible barrier.

No matter how high the palace wall is, there will be a time when they can climb over it one day, but that barrier is something they can't touch, let alone climb over? From now on, they will be eternal strangers!

"Yushu, what's wrong with you, why are you sullen from the moment you go out?" Xiao Ling finally found out about Yushu's unhappiness.

Yushu shook his head and put his head on Xiao Ling's shoulder weakly: "Ling'er, after entering Xianyang City, Meng Yi and I really don't have a chance!" ”

Yushu spoke in a faint nasal voice, and Xiao Ling's heart was also sour: "It's okay, don't you still have me!" At the beginning, I didn't know who said that it was enough to have me with me, and everyone else should go to hell! ”

In order to make Yushu happy, Xiao Ling teased her with what Yushu said at the beginning, Yushu didn't care about her, now she has to lick her wounds silently, she doesn't have the leisure to pay attention to Xiao Ling, just quietly leans on her shoulder, wanting to give herself some courage through her shoulder, so that she can walk more bravely.

Just when the two were talking, the carriage suddenly came to a sudden brake, but fortunately the two girls were sticking to each other at this time, so they quickly stabilized themselves with each other's bodies, and after stabilizing, the two looked at each other suspiciously.

Before he could answer the doubts in his heart, there was a noisy voice outside, and Xiao Ling quickly guessed that it was probably the person who did not succeed in catching Yushu last time who wanted to take advantage of this last opportunity to carry out the final assassination of Yushu.

Now Xiao Ling didn't feel scared, but she carried forward her heartlessness: "Yushu saw that they came to you again, last time you watched me being beaten by others, I won't help you anymore this time, I want to watch the play on the side." ”

Yushu glanced at Xiao Ling with disdain, how long has it been, and still hold grudges! It's just that it's all a mess at that time, but I don't know if she can still watch the show: "Okay! It's just up to them to see if they will let you go. ”

Before Xiao Ling could reply, the carriage was really unsafe, the body of the soldier driving the carriage fell straight in, his chest had been pierced by an arrow, his eyes widened as he looked at Yushu and Xiao Ling, blood was still bubbling out of his mouth, and the fresh blood was still bubbling out of the master's last body temperature.

The blood meandered along the place where the soldier was lying in the direction where Xiao Ling was sitting, and it was about to reach Xiao Ling's feet, and the brightly colored skirt was also faintly stained, but the bright red disappeared immediately after it disappeared into the skirt.

At this time, Xiao Ling's smile froze on his lips when the soldier poured in, and it never dissipated. Xiao Ling thought of the first day she came here, she also faced death like this, but there had never been a time when it was so close, so close that it seemed to be within reach.

Yushu immediately stepped forward to check on the soldier's situation, and found that he had been killed on the spot, and kindly stretched out his slender hand to close his eyes that he had not had time to close at the last moment of his life.

After doing this, Yushu lifted the curtain and took a look at the situation outside, Meng Tian's people were already entangled with the people brought by the white harrier, and their carriage was surrounded by layers of soldiers to protect them, and there would be no danger.

"Princess, are you all right?" Ah Zhen and Ah Li are guarding against the enemy while asking Yushu about her situation.

"It's fine!" After speaking, Yushu thought that Xiao Ling didn't seem to hear her voice since the incident just now, so he immediately turned back worriedly.

Xiao Ling was already pale at this time, huddled in a corner, his eyes staring blankly at the bright red blood that had spread to his feet on the ground and disappeared into the hem of his skirt.

Seeing Xiao Ling's abnormal appearance, Yushu was startled and immediately walked to Xiao Ling's side and hugged her shoulder, at this time Xiao Ling's body had become a little cold, she shook Xiao Ling's body anxiously: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me! ”

Yushu's words could no longer enter Xiao Ling's ears at this time, and he couldn't even shake it without the slightest response. Now she has been shocked by the bright red, and has fallen into a world of blood, and she no longer knows where she was born.

Yushu saw that she didn't react no matter what she said to Xiao Ling, she was completely controlled by her own thoughts, as a healer, she knew that if she continued like this, Xiao Ling might be like this for the rest of her life, so she immediately reached out and pinched her person.

Because she was worried about Xiao Ling, this pinching Yushu was not polite at all, and she pinched it fiercely with full strength, and by the time she let go of her hand, Xiao Ling's people had already left a bloodshot deep crescent trace.

Because of the pain, Xiao Ling finally had a little reaction, and turned her head to look at Yushu with her eyes open blankly, but there was still no brilliance in those eyes that should have been bright.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Say something! It was the first time Yushu had seen such a situation, and at the moment she was so anxious that tears flowed out, and her hands caressed her slightly cool face, and kept rubbing it to restore its original temperature.

Xiao Ling Yushu's eyes finally had a little brilliance in the incessant rubbing, she glanced at Yushu, and before Yushu had time to get excited, her eyes had already moved to her feet, and when she saw the blood flow under her feet, she suddenly shouted: "Ah......"

Yushu hadn't come back to her senses, Xiao Ling had already rolled her eyes into her arms, all this happened a little too suddenly, Yushu didn't know what to do at all, kept shaking and calling the woman in her arms but didn't get any response, and her tears kept falling.

Just when Yushu was almost desperate, a black shadow suddenly and quickly rushed into this small space, looking at the small body that fell into Yushu's arms, the pain in his chest was unbearable.

Yushu looked at Meng Tian who suddenly appeared in front of him, as if he had seen a savior, and immediately pulled his arm for help: "General Meng, you save Ling'er, I don't know how she is, she suddenly fainted, you save her!" ”

Ling Er, these two were like a heavy punch smashed into Meng Tian's heart, so that he couldn't care about anything snatching Xiao Ling's body from Yushu's arms and holding it in his arms, although it was not a familiar face, but the sense of familiarity that came from the depths of his heart could not be ignored.

Just now, he was obviously fighting with the killer of the Yelang Country, and suddenly he heard a scream, but the voice was familiar to him, and it was the voice of the girl who had disappeared in his heart for nearly a month.

At the moment, Meng Tian couldn't care about anything, leaving behind his opponent and his brothers who were in the battle, and ran to the source of the voice without any scruples, although there was still some uncertainty in his heart, but after hearing Princess Yushu's words, everything was confirmed.

,, this is her girl, the girl he has in mind.

"Girl!" Meng Tian stretched out his hand and caressed Xiao Ling tremblingly, even if he touched the thick powder, he still showed a pale face, and saw that Xiao Ling didn't react at all and looked at Yushu as if he was asking for help: "Princess, what's wrong with her?" I'm sorry for you to take her pulse. ”

Meng Tian's appearance made Yushu gradually ease up from the panic just now, just now he was too worried about Xiao Ling to forget that he was a doctor, and he was only in a hurry when he hugged her, but he didn't know what was going on for her.

As soon as Yushu heard Meng Tian's words, he immediately wiped his tears with his sleeve, then grabbed Xiao Ling's wrist and tried to calm himself down and began to take Xiao Ling's pulse: "Judging from the pulse, Ling Er will only faint when he is too frightened. ”

Yushu said and looked at the environment in the carriage, she was a healer, so she was naturally accustomed to such a scene, but she didn't expect that Ling Er would still be afraid of the dead and blood, and she felt guilty for a while when she thought of Xiao Ling's appearance just now.

Meng Tian is no better than Yushu, although his girl is not afraid of heaven and earth on the surface, but after all, she is just a little girl, she will naturally be afraid of such a situation, thinking of Xiao Ling's appearance when facing such a situation for the first time, she can't help but blame herself a little.

Obviously, I already have doubts about her identity, but I didn't think more about her, let her bear such a fright, I really damn it!

"The princess's carriage can't stay any longer, let's go to Yi's carriage!"

Seeing that Yushu nodded and agreed, Meng Tian picked up the woman in his arms, although the body was still familiar, it was much lighter than the familiar weight, there were not a few taels of flesh in the first place, but now there were only bones left, and Meng Tian's heart was even more painful.

Meng Yi had a leg injury and couldn't deal with the enemy, and it was also to hide people's eyes, so he was naturally surrounded by heavy soldiers outside his carriage, and now that Yushu is here, the number of people guarding outside has doubled.

"What's going on?" Meng Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, glanced at Xiao Ling, who was being held by Meng Tian, and looked at Meng Tian and Yushu who was following Meng Tian with some strange eyes.

"Ling Er was frightened in the carriage just now and fainted." Meng Tian said as he carefully put Xiao Ling on Meng Yi's couch.

"Ling'er?" Meng Yi listened to Meng Tian's words and asked curiously.

"Yes, it's Ling'er!" Meng Tian's hand gently caressed Xiao Ling's pale lips and closed eyes. They really belonged to his girl, and he felt how real everything was now when he touched them, and his girl was back to him.

The shouting and killing outside shook the sky, and the fight seemed to have entered a white-hot stage, as the coach Meng Tian knew that he had his own unshirkable responsibility, although he had thousands of reluctances at this time, he still had to make a choice.

"Please also ask Princess Yushu to take care of Ling'er for me!" Meng Tian reluctantly took his eyes off Xiao Ling's body and turned to Yushu to plead.

"General Meng, don't worry! Ling'er is also a good friend of mine, even if you don't say it, I will definitely take care of her! "There is no need for Meng Tian to say this, Yushu will not let Xiao Ling go, it is rare for her to have such a friend who she does not want to lose.

After getting Yushu's answer, Meng Tian turned to look at Meng Yi and patted him on the shoulder: "Take care of yourself." ”

The tacit understanding between the brothers didn't need too many words, Meng Yi smiled and nodded to Meng Tian: "Big brother, don't worry!" ”

Meng Tian also had no scruples, and walked out of the carriage with Cao Hao in his hand, isolating the deafening shouts outside from the carriage, and the carriage seemed to be not in the same time and space as the outside world, but it was stable and peaceful here.

Yushu just glanced at Meng Yi and walked to Xiao Ling's side, took out a handkerchief to wipe some beads of sweat from the corners of Xiao Ling's forehead, and completely treated Meng Yi as air.

"Princess, can you tell Meng Yi what all this is all about?" Meng Yi was very uncomfortable with Yushu's deliberate snubbing, so he deliberately spoke to Yushu for a reason.

"What's going on?" Yushu still just looked at Xiao Ling, didn't even leave a look at Meng Yi, and pretended to be stupid and asked rhetorically.

Meng Yi didn't care about Yushu's tone, she was willing to talk to herself, but she felt extremely happy: "Is Xiao Ling really Xiao Ling's girl?" ”

"Yes and what? Isn't it? Yushu suddenly felt uncomfortable when he saw Meng Yi caring about Xiao Ling like this, and his voice increased a little, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!" ”

Meng Yi was a little speechless by Yushu's words, and paused for a while before saying, "I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else." ”

Yushu ignored Meng Yi's defense and took care of Xiao Linglai seriously, and silence returned to the carriage again. Meng Yi shook his head helplessly, I really don't know why this woman's heart is so small, didn't she just say that! As for holding grudges until now?

After a while, Yushu noticed that Xiao Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and immediately grabbed Xiao Ling's wrist to check her pulse! found that Xiao Ling was already much better.

"Ling'er!" In the quiet space, Yushu's excited voice broke the silence.

As soon as Meng Yi heard Yushu's voice, he also moved his gaze to the face of the person lying on the small couch, probably because Yushu wiped her sweat just now, the disguise on Xiao Ling's face was already a little white and delicate because of the baptism of sweat.

Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yushu without blinking, Yushu was even more worried, thinking that Xiao Ling would be better when he woke up after fainting, but he didn't expect it to be the same as before he fainted.

Yushu thought about it and grabbed Xiao Ling's wrist worriedly, wanting to seriously diagnose Xiao Ling's pulse again, but she hadn't started to diagnose Xiao Ling's pulse, but Xiao Ling suddenly held Yushu's palm with her backhand, and Yushu immediately looked up at Xiao Ling excitedly.

At this time, although Xiao Ling looked a little weak, he was no different from ordinary people, seeing Yushu looking at him, he was speechless with excitement, Xiao Ling said weakly: "Yushu, I'm fine!" ”

When Yushu heard this, he hugged Xiao Ling and burst into tears, "You dead girl, scared me to death, do you know, you bad girl." ”

Although Yushu's tone was prepared, it was full of coquettishness, Xiao Ling's appearance just now really scared her, and now seeing that she is fine, all her emotions can be vented.

Xiao Ling was also very touched that Yushu cared about herself, but she was crying and making trouble when she hugged herself like this, or she was still a little unaccustomed to being in the presence of others, Xiao Ling pushed Yushu away with some effort, and raised her hand to wipe her tears.

"Aren't I all right, you're still crying and you're not afraid of someone laughing!" Xiao Ling laughed, and Yushu didn't forget to squint and glance at Meng Yi.

As soon as Yushu heard Xiao Ling say this, he thought of Meng Yi's existence, his face was red with shame, but fortunately, he couldn't see it when he turned his back to Meng Yi, Yushu glanced at Xiao Ling angrily.
