Chapter 1817: Sudden Enlightenment
The officers and soldiers outside didn't seem to notice the figure upstairs, so they hurriedly knocked on the door of the inn, and the trembling shopkeeper took these officers and soldiers up to the second floor, but they were empty. Only then did he find that the window at the end of the corridor was open, so he quickly chased after it.
The man walked quickly from the eaves with Xia Ye'er in his arms, and soon shook off his pursuers and landed on a lawn covered with white rain.
Xia Ye'er felt very uncomfortable. With his hands hooked around the man's neck and his head resting on his chest, Xia Ye'er listened carefully, but his breath was unusually stable, and it seemed that his internal strength was very deep. On the contrary, it was himself, and his heart suddenly panicked, and he jumped wildly.
What's going on? It was the first time I was so close to a man, I could hear his heartbeat, I could smell his breath, and I was hugged tightly by his hand, as if I was afraid that she would fall.
She raised her eyes to look at his face, and by the light reflected from the rain, her eyes reflected a resolute and handsome face, and the angular features on her dark face were as deep as a knife carving, and her whole body exuded a resolute temperament. She looked at him with a little distraction, and it was not until he suddenly lowered his face and met her eyes that she realized that she was somewhat out of order, and hastened to avoid him, and if it had not been for the darkness of the night, he would have found her red and hot cheeks.
"It's safe." He couldn't help but be happy when he noticed the way she looked at him.
"Put me down." She struggled to escape from his arms, but she didn't want to shake off the hat on her head, and her long black and beautiful hair was suddenly revealed.
She took a deep breath and looked at him with wide eyes, only to find that there was no surprise in the way he looked at her, but there was a faint smile on his handsome face, as if everything was expected.
He already knew—she dawned on her.
I couldn't help but be a little angry, and pushed him away hard, only to find that he hugged himself tighter.
The light reflected by the rain reflected her white face like rain, illuminated the faint anger that fell from her lips, the starry eyes like water shone brightly, and the long eyelashes trembled like cicada wings.
He was a little fascinated by it, and his deep eyes gradually melted into more pampering, imprisoning her tightly to his chest, her hands around his neck, and her skin transmitting each other's body temperature. Although he could still smell the fragrance emanating from her body through the thick clothes, her lips curled slightly because of anger, and he couldn't help but lower his head, wanting to touch the fragrance.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he couldn't help but let go of his hand, and she slid down.
Somehow, Fang Cai's right shoulder seems to have been attacked, could it be her? He was a little surprised, looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to know martial arts.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a commotion behind him, and it turned out that those officers and soldiers were chasing after him. So he quickly pulled her to squat under the big tree in front of her until the people left.
"Why are they chasing you?" He asked with interest.
"Nonsense, the person they are looking for is obviously you," she said as she tried to withdraw her hand from his, "It is clear that you injured them yesterday, and I will settle accounts with you tonight!" ”
Seeing that she didn't want to admit it, he didn't ask much, but said, "My name is Chengde, what about you?" As he spoke, he wrote his name with his hands on the rainy ground.
"I ......," she hesitated for a moment, then followed his example, her slender fingers carving her name on the ground with one stroke.
"Xia Ye'er ......," he muttered, read, "the rain sends winter away, and the jasmine welcomes spring." ”
She couldn't help but smile softly, and a pair of bright eyes turned to him, but he didn't dodge, and his smiling black eyes looked at her with interest.
"Are you the emperor's man?" She asked.
His lips hooked into a light smile, "Are the emperor's people still afraid of officers and soldiers?" ”
Her eyes fixed on him for a moment, and said, "Are you looking for the Dragon Blood Crystal?" When he heard those three words, his face sank slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips became unnatural.
He didn't answer immediately, but quietly looked at her bright, clear eyes, thoughtful.
In recent years, there have been countless people competing for dragon blood crystals, and it is rare that she is one of them? Was she approaching him just for the stone? His heart ached at the thought of this, but when he saw her clear eyes, he could not connect the pure and beautiful woman in front of him with those people. After a while, he sighed lightly and said: "The dragon blood crystal is a holy relic handed down by the ancestors, at that time there was only one country in the world, and the dragon blood army was an elite army created by the emperor at that time, they did not directly obey anyone, only the orders of the person who held the dragon blood crystal, that is to say, whoever has the dragon blood crystal will have the dragon blood army." Due to the peace of the country and the people, the Dragon Blood Army gradually retreated, but according to legend, its descendants will be loyal to the Dragon Blood Crystal for generations, so even if the world is divided and the heroes rise together, the Dragon Blood Crystal still has a strong attraction. ”
"Where is the dragon blood crystal now?" Xia Ye'er asked.
"All I know is that the Dragonblood Army appeared once ten years ago, and that was the time when everyone saw its power, including those who doubted this rumor before. At that time, Ximen Xiaji led the army to rebel, and the entire emperor of Chu was surrounded by the dragon blood army that gathered from nowhere, and the bloody wind and rain in the city were killed for three whole days, and then the dragon blood army suddenly disappeared, and the Chu country changed dynasties, Ximen Xiaji became the emperor of Feng State, and the whereabouts of the dragon blood crystal are unknown, many people guess that the dragon blood crystal is hidden in the palace. But how could a man as cunning as Simon Shaji hide such a treasure with him? There was disdain and disdain in his tone.
"Why haven't I ever heard of the Dragonblood Army appearing ten years ago?" Xia Ye'er's good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was also a trace of uncertain doubt in her eyes, she inquired for six years, but there was no news.
"The dragon blood crystal is still in someone's hands, and the dragon blood army doesn't know where it is scattered, not many people who witnessed the war at that time survived, in order to protect their lives, most of them kept silent, who knows if the dragon blood army is hiding by their side?" Chengde said lightly, he was still young that year, if it weren't for his identity, he would definitely not know about this incident, "But I don't know where this Ximen Xia Ji got the dragon blood crystal." ”
Hmph, Xia Ye'er smiled faintly, but her eyes were cold. The glare of blood resurfaced in front of her eyes, and the thick smell of fish in the air made her want to vomit.
Her originally clear eyes were slightly red, and she looked into the distance in distraction, her hands clasped around her knees, and her body trembled slightly.
He looked at the faint pain in her eyes, raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Listen to me—whatever your purpose, don't go looking for the Dragon Blood Crystal." His gaze became solemn, "The Dragon Blood Crystal can only bring you the scourge of killing." ”
