I endured great fear, pretended to be calm and walked to Yan Cuo's bedside, covered the quilt for him, and shook his wrist by the way—it was surprisingly hot!

I jerked my hand back, it couldn't be my delusion, right? When I wiped the rust on his wrist just now, his hands were still as cold as iron!

I held his wrist carefully, and it was indeed hot—

Then my eyes widened again—

The choke buckle has quietly derived a layer of short rust!

Am I dazzled?

I leaned down to take a closer look, and yes, the black wrist buckle that I had just wiped with my heart was now covered with a layer of short velvety rust, and I wiped it with my hand, and this time the rust was not as dark and smelly as last time, but a faint red like rouge.

Is the rust on this choke still like human hair, and it will continue to grow after shaving?

I held Yan Cuo's hot wrist, and my heart felt uncomfortable, but no matter what, it was better than being as cold as a stone, at least then I could still feel his blood flowing, his heart beating, and he was still alive.

"I was fine a few days ago, how could I be so seriously injured?" Zhu Jing asked me in a deep voice.

I carefully wiped the rust off the choke buckle, repeatedly checked that the choke was smooth and rust-free, and then carefully put his hand back on the quilt, and said with extraordinary calm: "The injury I suffered last night has improved after guarding it all night." ”

Zhu Jing took a few steps forward, leaned over slightly and stared at Yan Cuo, gritting her teeth, her face line was strong and cold: "Someone actually dares to go against the Yan family - you tell me who did it, see if I don't cut him off!" ”

He straightened up suddenly, and subconsciously reached behind his back to draw his sword, but today he did not carry the sword, so he had to high-five him with his bare hands, and the fist was so strong that it whined in my ears.

I wiped my sour eyes and whispered, "I don't know—I don't know who hurt him......"

Zhu Jing said anxiously: "How could you not know?" Who was there when he was injured? And who brought him back?! ”

"Haipiao said that it was too dark to see the ...... of people coming"

"What happened to that, I'll take the brothers to find out!" Zhu Jing gritted her teeth.

I pulled him, although I was moved by his enthusiasm, but I was still a little scared, and said hurriedly: "Don't-don't have to--what's the use of pursuing it now, whether that person has it intentionally or unintentionally, the most important thing now is to let Yan Cuo recover his injuries quietly, and I don't want anything else, if you move too much and provoke the thief to come to retaliate, Yan Cuo can't help the slightest twist and turn, I ...... I just want him to live......"

Zhu Jing said hatefully: "The eldest lady is kind-hearted and will not be investigated, but others will only regard this as weakness and can be bullied." This matter is no longer the personal matter of the eldest lady and the little master, this is the face of our Yan people, I want to let these poor people who don't know what to do and what is bad taste the methods of the Yan people! ”

I glared at him and said, "What Yan people?" What exactly do you have to do with my family? ”

Zhu Jing wiped her face, looking indescribable.

He still knew everything, but now he is an indescribable virtue, I was anxious and said: "Your eldest brother Xiang Zhou inexplicably doesn't let you associate with us, and Zong Bai always admits his mistakes to me in a weird way, what is our relationship?" - If you don't say anything, then don't come to us again, how do I know if you are bad people with ulterior motives, deliberately looking for strange reasons to approach us? ”

Zhu Jing raised her eyebrows, and said with justice: "What kind of joke is the eldest lady, what can we do to you?" You're ours—"

With that, he quickly closed his mouth and gritted his teeth in frustration.

"What is it you?!" I pressed after him, "What do you mean you always call me Miss?" ”

Zhu Jing pursed her face and sighed.

I sighed, stood up, and pushed him out: "Since you have no relatives and no reason, let's go our separate ways, and besides, your hot and cold and Xiang Zhou's dislike to see each other, I really can't stand it, we all live our own peaceful lives, don't interfere with each other——"

Zhu Jing stopped for a moment, just standing there helplessly, but it was like a big tree growing on the ground, and I couldn't push him at all.

"The eldest lady said this, is it really hurtful?" Zhu Jing said softly.

I was stunned, let go of the hand that was pushing him, and walked around to look at him.

Zhu Jing lowered her eyes, and under the high bridge of her nose, her lightly picked lips flowed with a mocking smile.

I was a little annoyed, I didn't expect him to look so arrogant that he would be sensitive to my angry words.

"Don't interfere with each other, no relatives and no reason...... Miss, do you know that we have been looking for you for twenty years. After this winter, it will be twenty-one years. ”

I stared at him stunned: "You are looking for ...... Looking for us? Why? ”

Zhu Jing's slender eyes shone like water, looking at the faint shadow of the sun shining on the ground through the door frame, and said quietly: "Yes, why, a master who has broken his oath will never have the possibility of regaining his subordinates, so the eldest brother has always had hatred in his heart, and after twenty years, he still hasn't crossed it." We are all from famous families, and after chivalry, we are in charge of morality and glory. The elites among us were all ordained by the Yan clan when we were young, and we were sent to the clan at the age of five to choose the elders to learn, which was our pride. We are all hot-blooded and heroic people, vowing to help the common people, but now we have become the wilderness, the object of ridicule by everyone, and the helpless rogue, why? ”

Zhu Jing turned her head to stare at me, as if hoping that I could give an answer.

I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, the world he spoke of was far away from me, and I was speechless.

"Miss, do you remember the conversation between Zhu Jing and you in the alley a few days ago?"

I nodded, "Yes." ”

"When I was five years old, I was selected by the head of the Yan clan and abandoned my family to enter the Yan clan for training. My original surname is Zhu, the Zhu family has produced several generations of generals, and I am the only one who was selected by the Yan clan to join the clan, although I want to cut the surname into Yan, but it is still the glory of the Zhu family. I remember that on the day of my trip, the whole family, including those distant relatives who had not interacted for several generations, came, and they gave gifts and said goodbye, vying to see off my competitive Zhu family. At that time, I was still very young, and I only knew that I was leaving my family, and my father held me on his shoulders and kept sending me like this, and he kept saying to me, Ah Jing, practice martial arts well, don't embarrass the Zhu family. ”

Zhu Jing stood straight like a sword, holding his arms, reminiscing about his parents and family when he was young, his face did not look very nostalgic and longing, maybe he was too young from home, and he didn't feel so much, this memory was just a story for him.

"My father sent me to the street corner and handed me over to the commander of the day. There is no sedan chair, no horses driving, only the main general alone, he walks in front, I follow behind, he threw me a bag of water, only said a word to me, follow tightly, with the loss is not capable, the Yan clan does not accept people who can't even walk the road. At the age of five, I followed him for dozens of miles, and he didn't look back once. ”

It's so cold, it's just a five-year-old.

"When I arrived at the territory of the Yan Clan, it was a kingdom made of walls and trees, a kingdom that I had never heard of in any legends. The Lord went straight into the city, and did not show the slightest sign of approval for following me all the way, as if it were supposed to be. He took me to the dormitory, where I had all the utensils in my bedroom, as if I had lived there since I was born. ”

I tried my best to use my limited imagination to depict the great country he remembered with a face, but no matter how gorgeous and majestic it was, I would not go to the holy place that he piled up with his memories.

"My real name is Zhu Yijing, and the lord will say that if you enter the Yan clan, you must take the surname Yan, but you can still keep your original surname. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand, the lord will explain that when I usually talk to people, I don't have to say the surname Yan, just say my own name, so there is no difference with the surname Zhu, but this is the glory of all Yan people, and I will be proud of this surname in the future. So I changed my name to Yan Zhujing. ”

I just understood a little, when Zhu Jing first told me that his name was Zhu Jing, I always thought that his surname was Zhu Mingjing, and then he told me that his surname was actually Yan, and I thought this name was a bit funny-

So Xiang Zhou's name is the same, what about Zong Bai? Is he also from the Yan tribe?

"At that time, there were children and adults in the same clan, and they were of different ages, but they all got along very well, like a family. Usually I practice martial arts with the big guys, and at night we sit together to chat and drink, and the adult brothers will tell us about the great tasks they have carried out, adhering to the mission of the righteous teacher. These heroic stories make us children yearn for it, and we all want to practice a skill quickly and serve the clan. At that time, it was a troubled time, and the struggle for power and distribution between the DPRK and China was very cruel, and the Yan clan, as the head of the court, had always maintained neutrality, and the patriarch had been mediating with the lords, and had never had time to visit the clan. When the clan brothers mentioned him, they always had a look of reverence on their faces, and even the lord general, who had always been strict and cold, nodded slightly. At that time, I was very curious, what kind of person is the patriarch, who can make a hundred generals of the clan so willing to surrender? ”

Yes, listening to Zhu Jing say this, it seems to be really powerful, no wonder I think he is always arrogant, it turns out that he is not only from a family of military generals, but also was selected into a famous family since he was a child, and learned literature and martial arts in that isolated place, of course, it is a bit untouchable, and it is simple and straightforward that is not deeply involved in the world.

"I've always tried my best to learn everything. It wasn't until I was eight years old that I suddenly laughed all over the city at noon, which was supposed to be a quiet rest, and I followed my brothers who were a few years older than me to the city road, and saw a group of people hugging a man in black talking, and the man in black was talking to the general, and the general who was not smiling was also smiling. Although our lord has lived in the clan city for a long time, there are also officials in the court, and the rank is not the bottom, plus the identity of the lord general, there is almost no need to fake a smile on people, so who is this person who puts his arm around the shoulder of the lord and laughs loudly? ”

"Who is it? Is it the patriarch? I wondered.

"Yes, we all guessed so, inside and outside the court, those who are so young and can be so courteous to the Lord can be counted in the palm of one hand, but others are unlikely to attract the support of the clan brothers, except for the patriarch."

I nodded, although I wanted to know what happened, Zhu Jing was still not in a hurry, for him, even if he said it, it was a beautiful memory, and he couldn't miss any details.
