Su Jiu sniffed the tip of his nose.

In addition to the smell of blood, she also smelled the scent of acquaintances.

"Xie Rongjing?"

She whispered tentatively.

Xie Rongjing did not speak.

A quarter of an hour later, he finally reined in his horse.

He hugged Su Jiu and buried his head in her neck, trembling uncontrollably.

Su Jiu's breath was a little urgent, "Xie Rongjing?!" ”

"Hmmm......"

"You're back, why don't you go find me? I met Huahua a few days ago, and he asked me when you would be back. ”

Xie Rongjing: "I came back secretly." ”

Su Jiu turned around and noticed the black clothes on his body.

Thinking of the group of black-clothed assassins and the guards of the East Palace, she was surprised, "Xie Rongjing, you assassinate the prince?!" ”

"Hmm."

Hearing him admit it so simply, Su Jiu simply collapsed.

Xiao Tingchen wants to assassinate the emperor, Xie Rongjing wants to assassinate the prince, they are poisonous, right?!

She was puzzled, "Why did you assassinate the prince?" ”

Xie Rongjing lowered his eyes and rubbed the girl's neck with his fingertips, "My brother was killed by the prince's people." Su Xiaojiu, I want the prince and the queen to accompany my brother to the funeral. ”

His tone was very calm.

Obviously, it was well thought out.

Su Jiu shook off his hand, turned over and dismounted, "What is the crime of assassinating the prince, do you know?" ”

Xie Rongjing followed her off the horse, "Yes." ”

"Then you're—"

Xie Rongjing: "I have to do it." There are things that must be done, no matter how dangerous the process is, no matter whether the result is successful or not. For example, if I like you, even if I can only end up in nothing, I am willing to continue to like you. ”

Su Jiu raised his head with a complicated expression.

A gentlemanly boy with the appearance of spring flowers and autumn moons, he has now grown into a handsome and calm man.

He's changed a lot.

However, the way he looked at her never changed.

Xie Rongjing suddenly hugged her.

It has nothing to do with love, nothing to do with Fengyue, and no blasphemy.

Yes, it's just a deep longing.

"Su Xiaojiu, when I was on the battlefield of Yan Kingdom, the person I missed the most was you. I have made an agreement with Xiao Tingchen that he and I will survive this war against Yan, and then return to Chang'an together and pursue you fairly.

"After the war, I was in charge of the aftermath and wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the cause of my brother's death, so I came back so late. Xiao Tingchen returned to Chang'an ahead of schedule, and he ignored the agreement and married you before I came back......

"Su Xiaojiu, I don't accept it, I don't accept ......"

Su Jiu felt his embrace.

He hugged him so tightly that she could even feel his body trembling slightly.

How many things do you have to carry to grow from a good-for-nothing, stealing chicken and dog, to the current point?

Although growth is a good thing, this kind of growth is too cruel.

Gently stroking Xie Rongjing's back, she said softly, "Xie Rongjing, I-"

Xie Rongjing covered her mouth.

Danfeng's eyes were full of water, and his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, "Don't say it!" ”

Just like what he said in Zhenguo Temple before, he didn't want to hear Su Jiu say no.

As long as she didn't say anything, he still felt that he had a chance.

Even if that little hope is as ethereal as a mirror, it is hope after all!

Not to mention......

He had just touched Su Jiu's neck, and she was clean and there were no kiss marks at all.

Xiao Tingchen may not have touched her yet.

The wind blows.

Xiao Tingchen appeared silently not far away.

He sat cross-legged on the branch, a playful smile on his lips.

He knew that the leader of the man in black was Xie Rongjing, and this thing probably found out the cause of Xie Rongzhi's death, so he assassinated the prince.

It's just—

He narrowed his peach blossom eyes, why is Su Xiaojiu here?!

Xie Rongjing's ears moved slightly, and he glanced at the distance not far away, clearly catching the bellflower blue among the green leaves.

The expression on Jun's face softened, and he tucked the broken hair on his forehead for Su Jiu, "Originally, I should have evacuated after assassinating the prince, but one of my personal things was lost in the mountains and forests." I just came back to look for it, but I didn't find it. ”

"What?"

"A piece of jade pendant."

Su Jiu frowned, "It's too careless!" If someone else picks it up, the evidence that you stabbed the prince is a certainty! ”

Xie Rongjing: "It was picked up by Xiao Tingchen." Su Xiaojiu, steal the jade pendant back for me. ”

Su Jiu nodded.

If you grow up together, you must help.

Xie Rongjing picked her up on horseback, "The arrows in the paddock don't have long eyes, it's too dangerous for you, go back to the camp quickly." ”

Su wine is well-behaved.

Since the assassin is Xie Rongjing, then she doesn't have to worry about Xiao Tingchen having an accident.

Going back to the camp and waiting for him is the best option.

Xie Rongjing watched the girl's back disappear into the jungle, and soon left with light skills.

The mountain breeze blew, Xiao Tingchen held a small branch in his mouth, and his eyes were almost turning to the sky!

Tsk, what is the relationship between the two, Su Xiaojiu wants to help Xie Rongjing steal things, and Xie Rongjing holds Su Xiaojiu on the horse......

If you show it to outsiders, I am afraid that there will be a sensational news of "King Yong's concubine's private meeting with Wu'an Hou" in Chang'an City.

Xiao Tingchen spit out the twig and smiled cruelly.

It seems that Su Xiaojiu, she is disgusted that her head is not green enough!

……

Xiao Jingzhen's death did not cause much of a sensation.

After all, Xiao Jingzhen's popularity is not good, and she occupies the position of the prince's side concubine, and there are even many cold-hearted daughters of the family who think that she died well and make room for them.

Zhao begged the queen to kill Su Jiu like crazy, but to no avail, but was dragged down as a crazy woman who talked nonsense.

It was nearly dusk, and the bonfire in front of the camp was lit, and the women were laughing and laughing, waiting for the men who had gone to hunt to return with a full load.

Su Jiu sat in the middle of them.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden exclamation all around.

She looked at the paddock, and it turned out that people had already returned.

One by one, the prey was placed in the open field, and the little eunuchs held paper and pen to carefully count them, and loudly reported the prey that everyone had hunted.

The girls often cast shy glances at their favorite sons, hoping that they would win, and then gave the peony to themselves in public.

Naturally, the crown prince had no hope.

Zhao Wuyang sat on the big chair and ate wine expressionlessly.

Yuan Xu had a thick gauze tied to his legs, and he was still humming and screaming in pain.

Zhao Wuyang said coldly: "Don't scream, it's noisy." ”

Yuan Xu: "People hurt ......"

"If it hurts, go back to the tent."

"But people still want to see the excitement."

Zhao Wuyang sneered: "If you can't endure hardship, don't go hunting, it's embarrassing." ”

Yuan Xu pursed his lips aggrievedly and glared at her quietly.

He covered the wound on his leg and looked at the campfire with a look of loneliness for a moment.

Yes, he is not as capable as others, but he also wants to win the first place, he wants to prove himself in front of his father, and he wants to win the peony.

And then......

Give it to Zhao Wuyang.

Because my father said that the peony should be given to the most beautiful girl present.

In his heart, although Zhao Wuyang was pungent and cold, he ......

The tip of the man's nose was sour, and he silently turned his face away.

I think the prince is a little cute,
