The fire shook the sky.

Blood stained the surface of the lake, and corpses fell on the planks. Someone couldn't help but look back, and was immediately frightened by the cruel scene, and let out a terrible scream. The frightened lady pushed the person in front of her in a panic and kept retreating, almost squeezing the others into the water, and the scene fell into a panic again.

"Don't be in a hurry!"

An Li fished the ink bamboo that was almost squeezed into the water to his side, protected Xu's retreat, let the rest of the people squeeze forward, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, father should have been prepared, we won't lose too many people, if it is chaotic now, the scene will be even more difficult to control." ”

Nodding, Xu Shi glanced at the fire at the end of the painting boat, but his eyes couldn't help but show worry: "But I don't know where Xiu'er is..... Tingting's three-legged cat's kung fu, if the girl is left alone, what should I do? ”

Hearing Xu's words, An Li couldn't help but show a worried look, and she forced herself to calm down: "Xiu'er, they-"

"Mother!" An urgent call came from Yaoyao, interrupting the attention of the three of them.

An Yan was leading a team of people to protect the three girls in front of him to this side, Agarwood was holding a sword in one hand and blocking Gu Liyi in the other, even if he saw the large army here, he didn't show a relieved look. An Ting's body was stained with water, but there was no bloodstain, she followed the agarwood and held Gu Liyi tightly and ran here.

"Mother! Embroidered sister! ”

"Where's Xiu'er?"

When he came to the front and saw the ink bamboo on An Li's side, Gu Liyi felt panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but ask. An Yan on the side was sure that no one was approaching, so he hurriedly looked at An Ting, and asked out loud at the same time.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned, and An Yan had already turned back with his sword: "I'll go look for her!" ”

"I'll go too!" Anting said hurriedly.

Before she made the appearance of turning around, she was quickly grabbed by Xu's side, and the always gentle woman frowned slightly: "Don't mess around!" Ah Yan went to look for embroidery, forget it, didn't you go to make trouble! Stay here! ”

Gu Changge in the crowd was protected by Mingzhu behind him, with his eyebrows hanging and his eyes full of quiet and obedient appearance. When she heard An Ting's words, she quietly raised her eyes, glanced at Gu Liyi, who was anxious and almost cried, and then glanced at An Li, who was obviously worried but silent, and quickly lowered her eyes, silently hooking out an indifferent smile.

"Shen Huai—"

The young man, who was slightly sluggish, only paused, and Gu Mingxiu's eager and firm voice sounded behind him. Before he could look back, his back was slammed away by the other party, Shen Huai didn't know the situation, and subconsciously took two steps back in the direction that Gu Mingxiu came from—at the same time, the cold streamer pierced the dark night, accurately crossed Shen Huai, and shot Gu Mingxiu.

The cold arrow shot into Gu Mingxiu's shoulder, staggering her back two steps.

Shen Huai wiped the neck of the black-clothed man who rushed over with a backhand sword, and quickly grabbed Gu Mingxiu. A low sound of pain sounded in his ears, Gu Mingxiu had not lost consciousness, but his face was completely pale. She was almost unsteady on her feet, leaning on Shen Huai's arms and whispering, "To... Get out of trouble.... waterways...."

The next second he fainted in Shen Huai's arms.

The fire had already burned to his feet, and Shen Huai couldn't see the situation clearly from that direction. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the black-clothed man in front of him, looked back at the fire behind him, sneered, picked up Gu Mingxiu and walked over the fire behind him, and suddenly plunged into the water.

The black-clothed people who gathered around looked at each other, and one of them whispered, "Find!" They're all drugged and can't run far! ”

When the fire was finally extinguished, the boat was almost completely burned, and only half of the skeleton remained, desolate and tied to the riverside. Most of the officials were sent back to their homes after interrogation, and there were few people by the lakeside except for General An and Jinyiwei.

"After the count, there are a total of 120 corpses, all of them are fresh faces, and the 62 people who have been captured have not been interrogated so far, and they have all taken poison." When An Zhikang came to look for General An, his face was still a little tired, "Little sister, they all went back to the General's Mansion first." ”

General An nodded and said coldly, "Can you find out anything?" ”

"At present, there is no documentary evidence to prove that the prince conspired with the prince of Song, and besides, last night..... The crown prince has been on the boat, and the prince of Song was injured in order to save the young lady of the Dong family," An Zhikang pressed his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little irritable, "The envoy of the Song State is still asking us for an explanation, why did they make the prince injured." ”

With a heavy sneer, General An said, "Where did you come from, go cool!" He turned his head to look at the painting boat and waved his hand, "Don't bother with that in the past few days, if you have any problems, follow the prince, after all, this time the matter is not our business, and now it is only Your Majesty's order to meddle, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with them." ”

"Yes." An Zhikang replied, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "There is one more thing, father..... Xiu'er disappeared last night, and His Royal Highness King Xiao has not appeared since last night. ”

"What?!" General An Huo Ran looked back.

The waves came, and the fierce turbid water crashed on the rocky shore. In the morning, the sky is hazy, and the lake here is not very clean, turbid and the waves are fierce, and the impact on the body is extremely powerful.

Shen Huai slowly went ashore with Gu Mingxiu in his arms. The young man's clothes were stained with sewage, and he should have been embarrassed. However, his face was calm, but there was a bit of coldness and cold light hidden in his eyes, cold and solemn, but he was a chivalrous man walking on the edge of the blade with a sword, and he would suddenly draw out his sword anytime and anywhere.

The purple-clothed girl in her arms was flooded, the beads on her hair fell completely into the water, and her long black hair was scattered casually between the crooks of the young man's arms. The girl's face was white, her long eyelashes were half-drooping, and the luster under her eyes was dull. The wet sideburns pressed against her cheeks, making her look weak and pitiful.

Carrying the person under a tree and slowly putting it down, Shen Huai probed Gu Mingxiu's forehead, then reached out to untie the sachet on her waist and took out the small porcelain bottle inside. He did this action neatly, Gu Mingxiu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't have the extra strength to question him a sentence.

The pill entered his mouth, and Gu Mingxiu reluctantly swallowed it.

Shen Huai saw her weak but still sober appearance, and a lazy smile suddenly appeared on her face. Pulling out a dagger from the edge of his boot, he raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily: "That quack doctor has some skills, from last night to today, your body is indeed a little better than before." ”

The cold arrow was still inserted in Gu Mingxiu's shoulder, and after a night of ups and downs in the lake, the edge of the wound had been stained red with blood. The girl in purple half-hung her long eyelashes, looked at her wound with a faint breath, and only moved her fingers did not have the strength to continue.

"Bear with it, it will hurt." Shen Huai said.

He carefully cut the clothes on Gu Mingxiu's shoulders, revealing the skin inside, before he paused, and said in a soothing voice: "Don't be afraid, they will definitely repay the pain you suffered today." As soon as the words fell, the young man's hand had already fallen quickly, and he quickly pulled out the cold arrow.

Gu Ming's embroidered hair didn't have time to make a painful sound, tears hung on his long eyelashes, and he fainted in Shen Huai's arms.

The little girl in her arms was cold.

Covering the handkerchief on her wound, Shen Huai raised his hand and touched the head on his shoulder, and there was a bit of a dark light in his eyes. It was dark and cold, as silent and dangerous as an ancient pond - Gu Mingxiu had never seen Shen Huai's eyes, and he didn't know that when Shen Huai gave birth to such eyes, he had the intention to kill.

"You don't want to have anything to do with me, but you want to save me." Touching the little girl's long hair with his palm, Shen Huai tilted his head slightly, and there was a bit of complex and cold light in his eyes, "You teach me how to do it.... It's good for you. ”

The boy sighed softly, picked up the little girl horizontally, and walked forward.

When Gu Mingxiu woke up, her clothes were almost dry, and she also wore a cloak of Shen Huai. The campfire jumped merrily at his side, the wood crackled, and a few sparks splashed and fell at the people's feet. Gu Mingxiu paused, and then looked in the direction of his shoes.

Shen Huai leaned against the stone wall and looked at her casually, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and there was no smile on his face.

The light of the fire reflected on the young man's face, and a bit of danger and tension spread in the cave. His shadow swayed behind him as the flames danced, like a ghost dancing wildly at night.

"Wake up." Shen Huai said lightly.

Gu Mingxiu leaned against the stone wall and slowly moved his fingers. Her strength seemed to be drained, and although the emotions on her face did not fluctuate, there was a slightly complicated dark light flowing from her eyes. With just a slight movement of my fingers, my shoulder felt like it was about to be torn.

"If it hurts, it will grow a long memory." Shen Huai watched her movements coldly, and a slightly sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "What arrows are you blocking for this king?" What do you tell people to tell this king? Gu Mingxiu, since you don't want to have anything to do with this king, don't do these things that are easy to misunderstand. ”

There was a fleeting stunned look in his eyes, Gu Mingxiu blinked, as if he was a little puzzled: "I ......"

"Do you feel that you owe this king.... Do you want to pay for your life to this king? Shen Huai casually threw the wooden branch in his hand into the fire, and watched coldly at it being quickly engulfed by the bonfire, and then he lazily turned his gaze, "Or do you think you are teasing like this..... It's a lot of fun. ”

Gu Mingxiu frowned: "You ......"

"Don't you think the current situation is a little familiar?" Shen Huai casually cut off Gu Mingxiu's words, turned his head to look at her with interest, and sneered, "Huh? ”

"The King of Religion remembered the last time he was trapped in a cave, and it was not a friendly memory."

"I don't know if Miss Gu has any impressions."

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
