The mountains are shrouded in moonlight, and the mountains and trees are covered with a faint silver light, and everything is quiet. There was a rustling sound from the flowers and grass nearby, which seemed to be a deer running and moving in a mountain stream, and the sound was small and imperceptible at first; Then the voice gradually became louder, Bao Xi even held his breath, and quietly leaned on Ji Gongyan's side, his eyes were firmly fixed on the clearing in front of him, his hands were propped up on the rocks, and his eyes were staring into the distance.
Suddenly a figure passed by from the darkness, and Ji Gongyan immediately drew his bow with arrows, and the arrows shot out and whistled in the air, and the arrows that shuttled quickly rushed towards that target with a deadly killing machine. Ji Gongyan's movements were completed in one go, and before Bao Xi could see clearly, he heard an animal wail—a hysterical chirp.
"It's a deer," Bao Xi saw the other party clearly.
Ji Gongyan's brows were tightly locked, his eyes were like a vulture overlooking his prey, and he pulled out another sharp arrow from the quiver on his body, aimed it with his bow, and wanted to hit it with one blow after shooting. But before he could think of it, the prey, which was badly wounded, suddenly rolled over and struggled, and ran, ran towards the woods, leaped into the bushes, and then disappeared without a trace.
Bao Xi stood up suddenly, almost without thinking about it, and tried to chase it, only then did he suddenly remember something, looked at the motionless Ji Gongyan and asked, "Doesn't the king chase?" ”
"Don't chase," Ji Gongyu said, "Since it ran away, forget it, it's its life." His voice was faint, he turned around and sat down on the ground against the rock, stretched out his hand and took Bao Xi's hand, motioning for her to sit beside him, the autumn mountain stream was a little cool, and the moisture of the dew was emitting up the soil, he looked at her and asked, "Is it cold?" ”
Bao Xi pinched the arm of the other with one hand, shook his head, and slowly sat down beside him, "A few days ago, the princes entered Beijing one after another, and Dazaigong said that you went hunting, and sent the princes one by one, so you came here?" ”
"Well, I don't want to see them." Ji Gongyan pinched the temples on both sides of his mind with the thumb and index finger of one hand, put down his hand and lay on the rock to stare at the movement in the distance, there was a rustling sound in the jungle again, I don't know if there was a new prey rushing out, the world said that it was the Great Zhou, but Ji Gongyan was just an arbitrator, everyone took advantage of the New Year's tribute, always wanted to get a little benefit from other countries back, and tried every means to participate in others, and finally put the king of Zhou in front of him as a cover for his own profit.
"You can't keep avoiding." Bao Xi said.
Ji Gongyan turned around and sat down again, "Slow down," he asked softly as he looked at the sky, "Have you ever hated fate?" ”
Bao Xi shook her head, "Everywhere has its own problems, and they can't be solved by changing their identity and fate." If you change people, you will have the pain of changing people. ”
Ji Gongyan turned his head to look at Bao Xi, as if he didn't expect her to say this, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You dance very well." ”
"That's why you left me in the palace?" Bao Xi asked.
"Well," Ji Gongyu nodded, "The widow can't stand a woman who the widow doesn't love dangling around him." ”
"So when you married Shenhou, you also loved her?" Bao Xi asked.
"Hmm," Himemiya nodded.
"And then?" Bao Xi asked.
"Annoying," Ji Gongyan said, "Shenhou is too annoying. ”
"Really......" Bao Xi hesitated again and again but asked, "Isn't it because of Shenhou that she married Empress Shen?" ”
"The widow said no, do you believe it?" Ji Gongyu asked.
Bao Xi shook her head, I was afraid that it was not only her, as long as it was any woman in the harem who knew a little bit about Ji Gongyan and was not too stupid, she would not be able to believe it, he was by no means as simple, tyrannical, and mediocre as he seemed on the surface!
"I can't say that I married because I love her, at least I don't hate it, I liked it very much at that time," Ji Gongyan said softly, with a kind of helplessness in his tone, "Think about the emperor's life, how many people can treat you sincerely, and how many people have treated you sincerely?" In this way, I also felt that if I married her back, I would definitely be able to stay together for a lifetime, at least protect her for a lifetime. Pity...... The world is unpredictable," he shook his head, sighed, and put Bao Xi's hand in his other hand to hold it, "Marrying Mrs. Qin is like this, marrying Mrs. Wei is also like this, if the widow can't sit on the throne of God's king, the widow and the queen mother will only die, when people are trying to survive, they will always make some extraordinary decisions, so that you suddenly feel that you don't know yourself either." ”
"I didn't think that I would kill someone one day," Bao Xi leaned on Ji Gongyan's shoulder, looked at the stars in the sky and said, "But if I don't kill her, I will die in her hands, I am afraid of death, I say I am not afraid, but I am really afraid when I die." I don't want to experience the pain, loneliness, and despair that death brings. ”
Ji Gongyan stretched out his hand and took Bao Xi in his arms, "If you had a choice, wouldn't you have entered the palace in the first place?" ”
Bao Xi didn't speak, and she had asked herself this question countless times, but where did the answer to a hypothetical question come from, she asked rhetorically, "If you choose me to stay, has the king ever regretted it?" ”
"Yes," Ji Gongyu nodded, "I was really angry when I pushed you." ”
"But my uncle is your man, and his impeachment of me should also be a good game set up by you," Bao Xi felt a little strange.
"Yes, but I just feel angry," Ji Gongyan nodded, the bureau was to push Uncle Zhao to take the position of Shangqing without arousing the vigilance of the princes, in fact, this step was very successful, but I didn't expect that the matter of Bao Xi would be big, no one knew that after the demon concubine disaster to the country, there were two harem women who contributed to the trouble, Ji Gongyan explained, "I feel that I suddenly have a weakness, so I am very angry." He frowned.
Bao Xi gasped slightly, "So you were really angry that time when you incited me?" ”
Ji Gongyan turned sideways and raised his other hand to hold Bao Xi's cheek and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"It's been so long." Bao Xi said.
Ji Gongyan dropped a kiss on Bao Xi's forehead, "Mrs. Zheng can't have an accident." ”
"You pushed her to the cusp, just to divert people's attention from the incident of the demon concubine, but why is it on me?" Bao Xi asked.
"There are some things that I have kept in my mind for many years, thinking that I have forgotten them, but I remember them from time to time." Ji Gongyan's explanation, Bao Xi didn't understand, he was still saying, "The widow knows that it wasn't your intention to say Uncle Zheng's death that day, it's just ...... The widow can't let her have the slightest damage, and he ...... in anger, "He didn't know how to say this, and he couldn't organize a suitable sentence, Bao Xi heard this, and his heart was filled with a feeling of being scratched by a blunt knife, there would not be a lot of blood but it was very painful, Mrs. Zheng was different from other women to him, he did his best, even if it was to hurt most of the people around him, he must protect her thoroughly, this called Bao Xi took a deep breath, "Needless to say, the king, Since you came out to hunt, don't mention the affairs of the harem and the court. ”
"Hmm." Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and nodded.
The sound of rustling in the grass behind him became louder and more frequent, but Ji Gongyan's brows became tighter and tighter, and he felt that something was not right, he stood up abruptly and lay on the rock to look behind him, a pair of green eyes glowed with a terrible luster from the bushes, and the first wail came from the bushes, and the wolves walked out slowly.
This mountain stream is often visited, but this is the first time to hunt at night.
He let out a long sigh, then looked at the Bao Xi beside him and said, "Now the widow can answer you, there are wolves in this mountain." ”
Bao Xi nodded, not feeling that this was the time to say such a thing, "What now?" She asked, her hands dripping with sweat.
"You might have to run." Ji Gongyu nodded, turned to Bao Xi and asked, "What about the torches?" ”
"In!" Bao Xi squatted down to find the torch that had just been extinguished and handed it to Ji Gongyan, Ji Gongyan lit the torch again and emitted an orange dazzling luster and warm temperature, the wolves rushed out, he hid Bao Xi behind him, and kept waving the torch in front of him, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, there were about six wolves in this group, it should be the one who rounded up the deer just now, and found new prey halfway, and now the twelve green eyes are all staring at the two people in front of them, and let out a low roar, I don't know if I want to summon new partners to enjoy this rare gluttony together.
"If they really eat the widows, they will really earn it!" Ji Gongyan said, holding a torch and flickering in the wolves, the wolves stared at a man and a woman in front of them with bared teeth, in their eyes this is the best food reserve that is about to enter the long winter, "I'm afraid that when I write the widow's epitaph, I have to embarrass your uncle, the emperor who was eaten by wolves, I'm afraid there is no one since ancient times!" ”
"I'll take a torch to drive away, the king will shoot arrows with a bow, if you kill these six wolves, I am afraid that there is no emperor who can kill wolves since ancient times." Bao Xi said, trying to get the torch in Ji Gongyan's hand, but the whole person was dragged by Ji Gongyan, and returned to behind him, "You hide it honestly, don't move!" ”
As he was talking, a wolf pounced from the air, and after a while of circling it seemed to feel that it had found a flaw, it jumped in the air, and Ji Gongyan immediately swung his stick directly to hit the wolf's head, it whimpered, fell to the ground, turned over and took two steps back, and the remaining five wolves also quickly took two steps back, staring at Ji Gongyan and Bao Xi vigilantly, looking for new offensive opportunities.
"Take it." Ji Gongyan said, taking advantage of the retreat of the wolves, handed the torch to Bao Xi, and then immediately shot an arrow with a bow, and the two arrows hit the belly of the wolf just now, and the wolf fell completely in a pool of blood with a whimper. The wolf on its right side suddenly went crazy and pounced towards Ji Gongyan, he didn't have time to prepare for a second chance to shoot the arrow, so he had to snatch the torch in Bao Xi's hand and smash it towards the wolf fiercely, the fire was extinguished, and the wolf also flew out, and fell to the ground weakly.
The other four wolves immediately changed their offensive posture to defense, and roared at Ji Gong Yan and bared their teeth, trying to scare him away, Ji Gong Yan grabbed Bao Xi's skirt and said, "Run!" Then, with some strength in his hand, he grabbed Bao Xi and ran forward violently, while the wolves ran wildly behind him.
The skirt on Bao Xi's body was wrapped too tightly, she pulled Ji Gongyan, stopped in place and quickly tore the skirt and tied it up, completely no longer binding her legs, she felt a lot easier under her feet when she ran again, and the speed became faster and faster, shuttling through the bushes of the mountain stream, sometimes being hung by clumps of thorns, leaving a red wound on her fair skin, faint pain, but Bao Xi didn't even snort and just ran forward, trying to catch up with the sturdy king, not becoming a burden to her- Just like she used to.
