The knife flickered, and the eyebrows on Scar's face were cold, without a trace of hesitation.

The light reflected the dilapidated and jagged silhouette of the street, the sharp teeth of the beast.

Xiao Yin's legs couldn't help but tremble. My mind went blank, and there was only one word - run.

Backwards.

Scarface slashed into the air, and when he saw that she was about to run, he stretched out his arm like a steel tong and wanted to grab her......

Xiao Yin slipped under his feet and fell to the ground.

The dagger was raised again......

Behind the corner, in the middle of the main street, an ink-colored figure "tom" twice, stepping on the sack stack built high on the side of the street, flying over, and kicking horizontally, "clang", the knife in Scarface's hand was kicked out.

It was a man in an arrow sleeve shirt. He stood with his back in front of Xiao Yin.

Scarface stared at the face of the visitor, and on his originally cold face, a trace of expression flashed in a trance, and he finally had a little human flavor. He quickly picked up the dagger and, with a twist of his head, rolled over the low wall.

The man in the ink-colored arrow sleeve shirt took two steps forward. Scarface had no choice but to give up quickly.

Xiao Yin, who was sitting on the bluestone ground of the dilapidated street, looked at the back of this life-saving benefactor, and looked slightly stunned. Scarface is gone. The man paused slightly, and finally prepared to lift his feet and leave.

This back! Xiao Yin's heart was intertwined for a while, and they all came to the tip of his heart, and he was so anxious that the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

"Wait!" Xiao Yin shouted, but he couldn't stand up immediately, "Why don't you turn around?" ”

The man stopped, and the dim light cut out a gloomy back, and he froze, as if he did not react at all.

"Since the fourteenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, when I first arrived in Chang'an, you have often followed me quietly, right? From the Yuyan Mountain Palace, to the Prince's Mansion, and then to this Luoyang, from beginning to end, as long as I encounter danger, you will always appear. I have lived in Luoyang for 19 days, and every time the sun sets, I will add a trace of doubt in my heart, sad that I have misunderstood what you meant. But today......" Xiao Yin looked at the back, and he didn't feel tears in his eyes, "You like me!" ”

When the man heard this, he seemed to move, and his figure trembled slightly, but he still raised his feet to leave.

Xiao Yin was in a hurry, and he held on to the sack stack beside him, only to find that Fang had just been frightened, and his legs and feet were really weak. Before he could get up, he fell between the idle strips of wood by the wall, and the wedges were poking at his calves, and the gauze skirt cut a hole, and the blood seeped through the folds of his clothes. There was a tingling pain, and Xiao Yin sobbed.

Deng Yao finally turned around and walked over quickly. Lean down and reach out to look. I carefully rolled up the folds of my clothes slightly, but fortunately I only scratched some skin. Deng Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fine, it's just scratched. I hate that I was in a hurry and didn't have any medicine with me," he carefully rolled up the folds of his clothes, afraid of touching the wound again, "does it hurt?" ”

Xiao Yin looked at him, tears slid down his face, but his eyes were full of joy: "You just like me." ”

Deng Yao retracted his hand, got up and lowered his head and said, "Yao's status is low, and he doesn't dare to trespass." ”

"But that's not how you think in your heart." Xiao Yin stubbornly raised his head.

It was already completely dark. Just as the tuyere was blowing, the evening breeze in Luoyang was gusting, and the rags were rattling on the ground where the sundries were scattered. The two people on the corner of the street, one sitting and the other standing, but they were both frozen and silent.

Deng Yao finally spoke: "You are not mistaken, I did arrive in Luoyang many days ago. ”

"But you didn't come to see me, is that your answer to me?"

"No," Deng Yao explained, even though the street was drowsy, Xiao Yin still seemed to be able to see the bitterness in Deng Yao's eyes, "I'm just because the times are treacherous and subject to others, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to give an answer to Lord Weng." ”

"Subject to others?"

Deng Yao smiled bitterly: "In the eyes of Lord Weng, Yao is the protector of the prince's mansion, but his status is low. Ke Yao knew in his heart that his identity was even more unbearable than that of the prince's retainers. He seemed to hesitate, but continued in a deep voice, "I am actually a dark person who is despised. ”

"Dark Man?" Xiao Yin was shocked.

"Yao is young, and he has no relatives except for a younger sister. Later, a very powerful man of the Di tribe took control of my sister, and from then on, I had to obey him and be trained to become a dark man he raised. This big man descended to the Great Zhou Dynasty and became an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I, a chess piece, was also placed in the Prince's Mansion......"

"How can this be, is it this big man this time?" Xiao Yin asked urgently.

"This time the troubled waters have nothing to do with him."

Deng Yao's answer made Xiao Yin breathe a sigh of relief. However, thinking about it, Deng Yao turned out to be a dark man of the Di clan, a knife raised by others who would never walk in the sun, Xiao Yin was still shocked. The identity of the dark man can never be spoken. He hid it so well, I'm afraid it's as fine as Liu Ke, and I don't even know his identity. But now he's ......

"Why do you tell me, aren't you afraid?" Xiao Yin stared into his eyes. This man, who had been hidden in the East Palace for many years, squatted down and smiled sincerely and dotingly: "If you believe me, I will not hide it." ”

"Okay," Xiao Yin said, "Then let me ask you, have you ever killed an innocent Zhou person?" ”

"Nope!" Deng Yao's expression was sincere and determined.

Xiao Yin was moved, she looked at Deng Yao's eyes: "I believe it." The two words came out, but the tears on his cheeks still didn't stop.

Ordinary Deng Yao was full of cold and resolute faces, but now his eyebrows were slightly bent and he smiled. Probably a person like him, who doesn't have any emotions on his face, will be like this once he laughs, with the warmth of the summer breeze. It seems that the warmth and tenderness accumulated in his life are all at this moment. Xiao Yin was a little crazy.

"Don't cry." He said.

Deng Yao turned around and patted himself on the back: "It's late, I'll carry you back." ”

The streets are lonely. In the streets, there are only a few scattered lights, dim and distant. At the beginning, the winery and tea shop on the street are now only left with the banner wine in the air, only in the courtyard under the eaves, the sound is more leaky. Xiao Yin listened to this sound, imagining the fireworks days of the people in this wall, and felt both happy and a little sad in his heart.

The fabric of the arrow sleeve shirt is crisp, but Xiao Yin can still touch the warmth of Deng Yao's back. Step by step, step by step, he walked slowly and slowly, but he stepped on it very steadily, lying on his back, Xiao Yin was very relieved. She closed her eyes slightly, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of Deng Yao's heartbeat, which was caught in the sound and penetrated into her heart.

For many days in Luoyang, she was either sick or thinking wildly, and she hardly had a good night's sleep. Tonight's trouble, I am very sleepy at this time.

After a while, Tingyun's sweet breathing sounded in his ears, and Deng Yao couldn't help but snicker. A whisper in his ear, he was startled at first, and then he had mixed feelings.

"Big brother, your back ...... Just like the big tiger. Xiao Yin muttered.

Deng Yao looked at the road ahead, as if he had seen through the long years. The moon shadow is shining, and the light is flowing.

Deng Yao didn't seem to be so happy in his heart for a long time, for her to have a long and happy dream.
