In July in the northwest, the breeze is cool, rolling up the long yellow sand.

Zhao Chen was lying in the carriage, his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep; Meng Yong sat across from her, frowning and watching quietly.

Zhao Chen was very sleepy all the way, he could lie down without sitting, his eyes could be closed without opening, and he hardly spoke.

At first, he was worried that she was sick, until he gradually realized that she was trying to dream about something-

Zhao Chen opened his eyes with a helpless expression.

Whoever thinks that the more deliberate it is, the more counterproductive, not only did she never dream that night again, but she didn't even dream of nightmares...

"Why don't we quarrel again!" She said to Meng Yong suddenly.

Meng Yong was inexplicable, stared at her and asked, "When did we quarrel?" ”

"Just that night." Zhao Chen leaned in eagerly, "You lose your temper like that again, and then I..."

She thinks about it these days, and the only thing special about that night is that her mood swings are so great that she can't even control it, maybe that's why she had that dream.

Meng Yong turned his face and didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

Zhao Chen leaned over again, "I'm serious, anyway, you haven't lost your anger yet, it's easy to suffocate if you hold it, you don't have to let me, if you're angry, you-"

"Shut up." Meng Yong interrupted her and moved to the side with a cold face.

He was really angry, angry that she didn't have a real heart, angry that she denied what he cared about, but when he couldn't wake her up that night-

Just as he was distracted, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly approached, carrying the violently burning fire oil, stabbing into the carriage.

Meng Yong quickly pulled her into his arms and kicked the wall of the carriage, and the moment the fire rose, they fell out of the carriage, and the burning arrows still kept chasing them.

At this time, Shen Sanyi and the others also reacted, and while dealing with the rocket, they approached the people who attacked in the shadows.

The rocket stopped, Meng Yong stopped his body in embarrassment, and hurriedly pointed at Zhao Chen's shoulder, he was still a little slower in the car just now, and Zhao Chen's arm was pierced by an arrow...

"Thirty-two, it's a swarm of bees..."Zhao Chen endured the pain and gritted his teeth, "Run, run to kill me!" ”

A swarm of bees is a firearm that is famous for a hundred tigers rushing arrows, it is lightweight, and it can be carried and used by a single person, the trouble is that there are imitations among the people, and it is difficult to find out the source.

Meng Yong didn't say a word, and while paying attention to her surroundings, she carefully tore off her half-burned sleeve.

The arrow pierced her arm, scorching the wound to a scorching place, bleeding slowly, but fortunately not poisonous.

"Bear with me for a while." He picked her up, pulled out the Yanling knife in one hand, and took the initiative to meet the man in black who was fighting hard.

Blood splattered on the yellow sand, and the men in black had a clear goal, which made his eyes colder and colder.

Zhao Chen was right, these people were clearly here to kill her, but he was obviously watching all the people who would be unfavorable to her, and if any party had such an action, he should have received the news in advance...

And the other party not only knew their whereabouts, but also got a swarm of bees and waited here to ambush -

"Whose people?" He restrained a living mouth and knocked out the poison sac from the man's mouth.

The man was silent, he looked at it a few more times, and couldn't help frowning, the man's mouth that was wide open due to severe pain had no tongue...

He slashed the man's neck with a knife and commanded Shen San: "Don't leave any more alive, kill them all!" ”

Not long after, the black-clothed people were all wiped out, and many people died on Meng Yong's side.

"Send them home for burial, dispose of the bodies of these killers, and the rest of them will enter the county in batches and return to the mansion!" Meng Yong ordered to turn over and get on his horse and rush to Lan County, which was not far away-

………

Lan County, east of the city.

Zhao Chen was so pained that he couldn't stop talking, "Your house?" So big... You're really rich..."

"The arrow must be taken out as soon as possible, and it can only trouble Xiao Xi'er." Meng Yong ignored her and said to Chu Yuan.

Little Xi'er... Zhao Chen suddenly remembered that last time Chu Yuan was poisoned to protect the prince, Meng Yong seemed to have mentioned this name...

Chu Yuan shook his head, "Don't worry, my subordinates have already asked people to call her." ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the little girl ran in at a bounce, "Daddy, Daddy!" Ciel misses you! ”

The little girl was about eight or nine years old, carrying a large medicine box on her back, and as soon as she entered the door, she happily threw herself into Chu Yuan's arms.

"Hey... You—you're not going to let this girl heal me, are you? Zhao Chen's eyes widened and he grabbed Meng Yong's sleeve, "Then you might as well pull out the arrow directly..."

Meng Yong pressed her dishonest hand and said, "Xiao Xi'er, let's see the patient first." ”

"Yikes... Patronized Daddy. Xiao Xi'er smiled, picked up the medicine box and came over, looked at Zhao Chen's wound, and stretched out her little hand to touch Zhao Chen's forehead.

Zhao Chen subconsciously wanted to hide, but was restrained by Meng Yong, and said: "Be honest, Xiao Xi'er is Fuzheng's apprentice, and there is no better doctor in the county than her." ”

"The sick man has a fever, so hurry up and get the arrow." Xiao Xi'er took out the pill and stuffed it into Zhao Chen's mouth, "Daddy go and ask my mother to send the medicine quickly, Brother Meng, help hold down the patient..."

Seeing her turn around and pull out a small knife, burning, Zhao Chen asked uneasily, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt soon." Xiao Xi'er bent her eyes and smiled.

In the next moment, she quickly peeled off the charred flesh at the wound in her hand, and kept -

Half an hour later, Xiao Xi'er was taken away by the woman, and Meng Yong covered the sleeping Zhao Chen with a quilt before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Check, in addition to those who may attack Prince Wu, there are also all the unknown forces that have entered the northwest recently..."Meng Yong commanded coldly, "Including your own people!" ”

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and silently led the order to retreat.

Meng Yong glanced at Yingchun, who was guarding nearby, paused, still didn't drive him away, got up and twisted the cotton towel, and slowly wiped Zhao Chen's sweaty face.

Suddenly, Zhao Chen on the bed talked in his dreams again, as anxious and panicked as that night, making people unable to hear clearly.

Thinking that she had been trying to dream recently, Meng Yong endured it, didn't call her, stared at her gradually faded lips, and tightened her eyebrows a little helplessly...

And at this time, in the dream, Zhao Chen finally saw something-

Covered in red snow, she desperately ran somewhere, someone was chasing behind her, she fell and got up, looked behind her in a panic, and the only two people she could see were blurred.

Only the armor of the Changming Army on their bodies is extremely clear.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers protecting her, and someone shouted: "Take the son of the world into the mountain!" The rest of me will stop the rebels! ”

Running non-stop, her eyes were bloody, and she was overtaken...

A vague figure walked towards her, the light from the blade blinding, and the man swung his knife at her without hesitation.

The intense fear made her motionless and wide-eyed, and someone pounced on her as the knife was about to fall on her.

"Shizi, run!" The soldiers who saved her were dying.

The chaotic picture flickered and stopped, stopping at her picking up a corpse and burrowing into the deep pit that she had made an appointment with Meng Yong.

I don't know how long it has been, what I smell, what I hear... Suddenly magnified in an instant—

Seeing that her face began to turn blue, Meng Yong couldn't help it, and was about to shout, but she opened her eyes suddenly.

"Somebody's going to kill me—"
