The pale golden glow of the crescent moon is scattered in the dark night sky, quiet and quiet, dream-like, soothing. Tired, tired, Ning Yue but felt that the moonlight on the horizon was becoming more and more hazy, and the snoring and percussion sounds that sounded from time to time in the prison became more and more distant, and gradually, consciousness became blurred. Out of nowhere, a vague aroma wafted into every corner of the cell. The clammy and cold floor seemed to collapse rapidly, and Ning Yue's body lost its support and fell down. The sudden upheaval made Ning Yue panic, but her limbs were weak and she couldn't move, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, she couldn't open them, she couldn't even take a look at what was happening, let alone resist. Just when she was helpless, a solid arm gently lifted her up and hugged her into her arms. The fresh medicinal fragrance of ice and snow soaked into Ning Yue's heart, and the warmth of a stream and spring continued to flow into her body along the big hand on her shoulder, dispelling the cold and sleepiness of her body, and making her refreshed.

The warm palm of his hand rested on her cheek, and a low, melodious voice rang in her ears: "Wake up." ”

Even if the mist in her eyes made it impossible for her to see the appearance of the person in front of her, with just these few words, Ning Yue immediately knew who he was. The "big boss...... "Farewell for dozens of days", goodbye is like a different world, Ning Yue's heart trembled, and tears rained down.

War Dragon's deep gaze skimmed over the sparse thatch beside Ning Yue, the thin prison clothes on her body, and her pale and purple face, and finally stopped at the blood stains on her lips. How did she get hurt? Staring at the girl who was silently crying in his arms, Zhan Long's heart ached faintly, and his arms involuntarily tightened to his chest, wanting to protect her firmly. After leaving the queen mother's bedroom, Zhan Long did not delay for a moment, and immediately rushed to the prefect's mansion. In order to avoid extraneous branches, Zhan Long opened the way with the unique incense of the second shopkeeper, and quietly sneaked into the prison, but unexpectedly found no trace of Ning Yue. In a fit of rage, he woke up one of the gatekeepers and forced him to tell Ning Yue's whereabouts, only to learn that a few hours earlier, she had been placed on death row for pleading guilty to murder, pending execution. Luckily, I didn't come too late...... "Come with me." Although the voice is soft, it reveals an irreversible toughness.

Hearing this, Ning Yue lowered her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Big boss...... I confessed to my guilt......" **The effect of the medicine remained, and the feeling of dizziness and body floatiness lingered, Ning Yue clung to the corner of the war dragon's clothes, and felt a little more stable in his heart.

The war dragon reached out to hold her hand and whispered, "Kill it, kill it, that person is not a pity to die." ”

Listening to Zhan Long's words, Ning Yue's heart was surging, and her eyes were hot again. I didn't kill him...... I didn't kill it...... Of course, she was afraid that Zhan Long would look down on her because of this, but she was even more afraid that he would be implicated, so she still didn't tell him the truth after all. With the upright nature of the big boss, he will not sit idly by and ignore the injustice, but now that she has pleaded guilty, there is no room for maneuver in this case, so he will inevitably collide with the government for this. He mistakenly thought that I had committed a felony of murder, and was willing to take the risk to save him, and he was so kind to me, how could I bear to involve him in it! It's better to keep it a secret from him, at least he won't feel sorry for her death. "I deserve to be punished for murder." Ning Yue pretended to be calm and said softly.

Zhan Long had already expected that she didn't want to affect herself, so she sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "But I don't agree." After speaking, he put his arms a little harder, picked up Ning Yue steadily, and went straight to the prison door.

"I can't go......" Ning Yue struggled with tears, but he was firmly imprisoned in his arms, and there was no way to escape.

Just as the war dragon was about to perform his light skills and leave, a dazzling white light broke through the wind, blocking his way. "Bold fanatic! How dare you rob a prison! The head catcher shouted as he brandished his broadsword and approached the war dragon.

For a time, the fierce sword wind swept through the narrow corridors of the cell, leaving people with nowhere to hide. Seeing this, the war dragon protected his body with internal force, and moved forward against the sword wind, and did not fight back from beginning to end. was about to escape from death row, but was blocked by two men in official uniforms. One of them was furious and sweaty, and was busy directing the officers behind him, while the other seemed calm, and nothing but a flash of consternation flashed in his eyes.

"Why did the big boss come late at night?" Ning Feng asked gently.

Seeing that it was Ning Feng, Zhan Long smiled lightly and replied coldly: "Why does Lord Ning ask knowingly. ”

Mo Niancong, who was on the other side, frowned after hearing this, became even more angry, and shouted loudly: "Take it!" ”

"Master Mo, please don't hurt him, I won't go, I won't leave......" Seeing that the officials showed their knives one after another, intending to rush up, Ning Yue pleaded with tears in her eyes.

After hearing this, the war dragon couldn't cry or laugh, and the murderous aura in his eyes decreased a little. "I don't mean to hurt anyone, so you better disperse early." The war dragon glanced around nonchalantly, with a proud smile on his lips.

Seeing that the war dragon was so reckless, Mo Niancong gritted his teeth in anger, and wanted to order a group to attack him, but when he saw that the head catcher who was blocking behind the war dragon had a difficult face, he hung his head, and knew that this person was not their enemy, so he could only suppress his anger and turn his head to discuss with Ning Feng how to deal with it.

Ning Feng saw that the war dragon was about to leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Mo has been running around for days, and the murder case has taken a turn, and it will be clear tomorrow. ”

Zhan Long was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Ning Yue, with a slight hesitation in his heart.

Seeing this, Ning Yue hurriedly persuaded him: "What the eldest brother said is very true, Master Mo knows everything, and he will not settle the case hastily." What's more, he is kind to me, and I must not leave him and embarrass him. ”

"Then I'll wait another day." Thinking that the Queen Mother was still in the palace and it was inconvenient for him to travel far away, Zhan Long had no choice but to entrust Ning Yue to Ning Feng for the time being, and wait for the Queen Mother to come to save people after she left the palace.

Seeing that Zhan Long nodded in agreement, Ning Feng moved to Ning Yue, stroked her forehead, and said loudly: "Xiao Yue's illness has improved a lot, the big boss doesn't need to worry, Ning will take good care of her." ”

Mo Niancong immediately understood that Ning Feng had the intention to protect this person and cover up his crime of robbing prisoners on the pretext of visiting the sick, so he couldn't help but look at each other angrily and reprimanded sharply: "The government is heavy, how can you be allowed to trespass." Come, weigh fifty rods, to set an example! ”

Seeing that the servants were approaching step by step, the war dragon was still standing in place, and Ning Yue suddenly lost his bearings. Why hasn't the big boss left? Could it be that he really let Master Mo torture him? "The big boss has not recovered from his injuries, so he begs Lord Mo for extrajudicial mercy, and the people are willing to receive heavy punishments." As soon as the words fell, Ning Yue noticed Mo Niancong's implicit reproachful gaze, and she was immediately ashamed.

The elegant moonlight fell on the clear eyes of the war dragon, and a trace of ripples rippled. "I'm fine." After he whispered to Ning Yue, he looked up at Mo Niancong and said indifferently, "Let's do it." ”

"Get on your knees!" A servant shouted.

"What if I don't kneel?" The war dragon smiled even more happily, as if it meant mockery.

"Contempt for the imperial court officials, thirty rods." Mo Niancong's face became more and more ugly.

The officials were ordered, and they swung their sticks from left to right and struck at the back of the war dragon. Seeing that it was menacing, Ning Yue wanted to reach out to block it, but was restrained by the war dragon with his hand. Suddenly, two wooden blocks broke in the darkness, and the four sticks with flat breaks fell to the ground, and the hands of the two staff officers were numb, and they looked at the war dragon in a daze, shocked. The head catcher strode to Mo Niancong's side, shook his head and sighed again and again.

Mo Niancong clenched his fists and ordered: "Take all the sticks and sticks in the palace, and the eighty canes will be punished, and they will be executed!" ”

Seeing that all the fifty sticks and sticks in the palace were broken by the internal force of the war dragon, Mo Niancong ordered someone to go to his mansion to get thirty, so that the eighty rods were executed. But all those who held the staff were panting and sweating, and the numbness of their hands lasted for a long time, but the war dragon still looked calm and light, which made it unclear who was punished. Glancing at the broken wood on the ground, Mo Niancong didn't say a word, threw off his sleeves and left. The head catcher scratched his head, very helpless. Ning Feng instructed the servants to clean up the ground, and then sent Ning Yue back to the cell with the war dragon.

When parting, Ning Yue grabbed the sleeve of the war dragon and asked softly, "Can the big boss send Gugu back for me?" ”

War Dragon wiped away the tears from the corners of Ning Yue's eyes with his fingertips, noncommittal. "I'll come back tomorrow, wait for me."
