CHAPTER XIII

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" An Yue looked at her suspiciously

"I promised Aliel to help him before, I can't just leave by the way" Xia Tongchen explained as he pulled her clothes on, "The Night Pearl is here with me, and I originally wanted to give it to you when I brought it out."

"Check if it's this." Saying that, Xia Tongchen took out a golden sachet from his arms, "Hand it to An Yue, the night pearl belongs to you, and the box containing it belongs to me!" That's what you want anyway, right? One person and half, the feelings will not be scattered~"

An Yue took the sachet and opened it to take a look, "It's it"

"Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" An Yue didn't move, she turned her head and saw the scarlet on her shoulder, and her voice was a little cold, "Are you pitying me?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare" Xia Tongchen hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and then looked around like a thief, "Here's the thing, I'll tell you quietly, don't tell others!" ”

Xia Tongchen leaned into An Yue's ear and whispered, "Ariel and Yan Heng, they actually have one leg. After these days of confrontation, they appreciate each other and have fallen in love with each other before they know it. However, their romance is not accepted by the world, and even if it is not, they are still hostile. It's even harder to be together. So, Aliel now wants to end this war as soon as possible and dissolve their tense relationship. I may have been arrested because I was jealous of my status as Yan Heng's fiancΓ©e. But it doesn't matter, he will soon know the fact that I have no place in Yan Heng's heart. ”

"What does this have to do with you not leaving?"

"I can't go, I'm gone, who will push their relationship further? And I promised Ariel that I would cooperate with him. He told me to stay here."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"My instincts tell me that Ariel doesn't want my life."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"And if there is a temporary truce between the two countries, it would be good for me to be a hostage here. Hopefully, neither side can withstand the attrition of the war, and everyone needs a reason for an armistice. I probably happened to be chosen for this reason, but Yan Guo might be more passive. ”

"As far as I know, Aliel does have the intention of peace talks, but Yan Heng doesn't seem to agree."

"hmmmmm, for the sake of face, it is possible that they on Yan Guo's side will not care about my life or death, but they will not want me immediately, right? Meow, one day I won't be useful, and I'll probably be clicked off by Ariel, right? The more Xia Tongchen analyzed, the more pessimistic he became

"Boom...... Sister" she hugged An Yue's neck with a sad face, "I called you sister, when you recover from your injuries, if Yan Guo is unreliable, you must come to save me duck-"

An Yue's body that was hugged was stiff, and the emotion called "gentleness" in her heart quietly grew, she raised her hand and hung it in the air, but she couldn't let it go. Just when she finally made up her mind and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, Xia Tongchen had already gotten up from her.

"For now, I'm not in any danger. Alright, let's go! I've been here for a long time, be careful of other people's suspicions," Xia Tongchen urged, "I'm still waiting for you to save me!" ”

An Yue nodded, put on the mask again, and said nothing more. Now she is indeed not 100% sure that she will be rescued, in fact, it is difficult for her to cross the river by crossing the river, but why did she agree to her? She didn't know, she only thought that her self-preservation ability was stronger than Xia Tongchen, and she was better here than Xia Tongchen here. If Xia Tongchen escaped, would anyone save her except for herself? Xia Tongchen at least has a family, she only has herself. Thinking of this, she began to regret her impulsiveness at that time.

But since An Yue promised Xia Tongchen, then she would come to save her, and she didn't want the clues she had been looking for for so many years to be interrupted like this.

==

Xia Tongchen, who finally took a bath, opened the curtain and prepared to let the guards guarding outside take away her bath water.

But as soon as the curtain was lifted, she was so attracted by the scenery in front of her that she couldn't take her eyes off it, and at this time it was dusk, and the clouds on the horizon had been dyed yellow, like a dream. The sky gradually darkened, and tonight the sky was very clear, and even though it was already night, the background of the sky was faintly blue. In the vast night sky, there are dots of light hanging and sparkling. This is a rare scenery in modern society, and she suddenly didn't want to "close the door".

The guards on the side saw that she had not closed the curtain for a long time, and was worried that she was playing some tricks, so without saying a word, he pulled the curtain from her hand and forcibly pulled it down.

"......" Xia Tongchen wants to cry without tears, she hasn't seen enough of it, okay?

She opened the curtain again, and the guard looked at her with a frown, and spoke to her for the first time, "Settle down!" Let me in! ”

"I'm not going out, but can I just keep this curtain open?" Xia Tongchen asked cautiously

"No, go in," the guard brother shouted expressionlessly

"But your boss only said he wouldn't let me out, he didn't say he wouldn't let it open!" Xia Tongchen looked at them pitifully, "You guys are so beautiful here!" I've never seen such a beautiful scenery since I've grown up! I'm just pulling open the curtain, and I won't get out, and I won't be able to escape. After all, you two have such a mighty and majestic person watching, where can I run? The two of you who can be sent to guard me are the best in the army, right? Alas, can you still not believe in your own strength? It's just a little girl who doesn't know how to do martial arts, so why be so cautious? Open the curtain and let's look at the stars together, I'll look at the stars with you! I can show you the stars! ”

Without waiting for the two guards to say anything, Xia Tongchen pointed to the sky and said, "Did you see that?" That's the North Star, will you look for the North Star? If you look at this, this, and this star, you imagine connecting them and you'll see them like a spoon......"

Xia Tongchen whispered as he spoke, observing their expressions and seeing their expressions with interest. She breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly brought it up again, as she would only look at the North Star...... What happens after talking about Polaris? Forget it, play free!

"Did you find it? Isn't it amazing? Next we're going to look for Sirius, which is said to be the brightest star in the sky, don't you think that's it? ”

"I think this one is brighter," one of the guards said

"Obviously it's my side," said another guard

"Are you blind? It's the brightest of this one."

"You're blind! How? Want to fight? ”

……

"Uh...... It seems to be very bright" Xia Tongchen said weakly, she actually didn't know how to look at the stars, except for the classic Big Dipper, she didn't know anything. In modern times, there are few opportunities to look at the stars, and looking at the stars is pure appreciation for her, and she can't tell what kind of star it is. In fact, she thought that all three stars were bright, but the one she found was the brightest! But she didn't dare to say it, for fear of being beaten, because the two were now arguing to the point of tension over the question of "which star is the brightest".

"Three stars in a straight line among these two bright stars, looking down the southeast direction, the one that shines blue-white is Sirius" Just as the two were arguing, a gentle voice descended like heaven

"It seems to be yes!" Xia Tongchen and the two guards said in unison

This...... Si pot to!

The guards of the "Wen Junshi" respectfully saluted Wen Pei with their fists

After Xia Tongchen saw that the person who spoke was Wen Pei, he suddenly lost interest in looking at the stars. She put down her hand holding the curtain, and walked towards the tent while turning her sore arm, don't look at her like this, she is very resentful!

After taking a few steps, I found myself standing still. Xia Tongchen turned his head while struggling, and found Wen Pei holding the curtain with one hand, and one hand stretched out a finger to hook her back collar.

"You guys go and rest first, I'm watching her here," Wen Pei explained as he turned to the two guards

"Let go" Xia Tongchen gritted his teeth and said

"Do you want me to teach you how to look at the stars?"

"Don't" keep this trick to tease others, she won't be fooled!

"Yo, it's quite a grudge!"

"Nonsense! Don't you get angry if you want you? ”

"Would you like to come out?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thinking "Xia Tongchen was like turning off the battery switch, she immediately stopped struggling and walked out happily, she had long wanted to visit here!"

But before she could take a step out, she was blocked by Wen Pei's fan, and she looked at Wen Pei puzzled.

I saw Wen Pei replied with a very low smile, "I can't go a few more steps!" ”

"What the hell? Didn't you promise to let me out for a walk? ”

"No, I just promised to let you come out, but I didn't promise to let you go. Look, aren't you out now? ”

"......" Xia Tongchen was speechless, gritted his teeth and turned in, can't he hide if he can't provoke her?

But what greeted her was the familiar standing still, Xia Tongchen gave up struggling, "What do you want to do?" Fun playing around with me? ”

"You've found out," Wen Pei smiled and bowed

"......" Xia Tongchen was so angry that she lost her temper, she was a Buddha, okay, okay, just be happy.

After she blew the dust on the ground, she sat down with her ass, and asked him what he asked her to come out for, anyway, her purpose was achieved, she planned to sit on the ground and watch the stars and the moon, and she ignored him when he talked to her.

"You don't want to know why I brought you here?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you call this a 'belt'? It's obviously a kidnapping," Xia Tongchen, who said that he ignored him, couldn't help but retort, "I don't know, I don't want to know, it's not a good thing anyway." Don't bother me looking at the stars."

"Aren't you curious about the purpose of Ariel's arrest?"

"Don't be curious, don't ask"

"You don't care about your safety?"

"I don't care" Xia Tongchen looked into his eyes, his eyes were full of confidence, "You won't take my life now"

"Oh?" Looking at her determined appearance, Wen Pei suddenly became interested.
