"What is it that makes you so frightened that you call me so quickly?" The boy leaned in the deepest part of the darkness rather mockingly, as if he was deliberately trying to hide his figure, but the words he said were a little unscrupulous.

“…… I want to make a deal with you. The woman, who had her back to him, turned slowly, and looked calmly into the darkness, but her burning gaze fell deep into the young man's turquoise eyes hidden in the darkness.

"Oh?" The boy raised his eyebrows slightly, and pulled out a smile in the darkness that was willing to hear it, although the other party might not be able to see it clearly.

"I'll give you the recipe you've always wanted. You will keep the city of Yonghui safe for me. The woman slowly pulled out a thin piece of space from her sleeve and handed it straight to the young man without waiting for him to answer.

Even if the young man deliberately pretended to be calm before, he couldn't pretend to be a little at the moment, his turquoise eyes were staring at each other at this time, and there was a not very good premonition in his heart, he didn't move, and he didn't stretch out his hand to pick up the square, just stared at each other with his turquoise eyes, and only spoke after a while, and his voice was a little trembling: "Why?" ”

"I'm running out of time." The woman's voice was extremely calm, as if she were telling the story of someone else's house. Hearing this, the young man's turquoise pupils suddenly dilated, and in a flash, he revealed his figure without any scruples, and the long dark green hair of the same color as his eyes suddenly floated in the air, and his figure came to the woman like lightning, frowning at her, and his concern overflowed: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Listen to me." The woman held out a finger slightly, motioning for him to keep silent and listen to herself.

"On that day, Lord Zhuo Ao entrusted the future of Yonghui City to me so prudently, but my time was short, and I couldn't bear to let him down, so..."The woman didn't say any more, she lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was sorting out her emotions, and after a while, she raised her head again, looked at the young man with turquoise hair steadily, her eyes burned, and the hand holding the prescription took the young man's hand even more firmly, and stuffed the thin prescription into the young man's palm.

The young man suddenly felt a little angry, he wanted to ask her what had happened, so that she who was originally optimistic and cheerful would say such desperate words? And in such a desperate tone of will, he entrusted Yonghui City, which originally belonged to her, to himself, but he knew that he couldn't ask, since she didn't want to say it, then, she didn't want him to know.

After being silent for a long time, as if to calm the depression in his chest, he pinched the piece of paper that still had her residual warmth in his palm, and finally opened his mouth in a dumb voice: "Why me?" ”

"Because you are the prince of the Ruoye clan, because you have strong strength, because you still have a pure heart and a benevolent heart in your heart, so only by entrusting it to you can you continue to keep the peace of Yonghui City." The woman's golden-brown eyes suddenly bloomed with a strange look, and the expression on her face became much softer at this moment, she smiled indifferently, and continued to use her gentle voice to say a sentence that the young man could not forget even after five hundred years: "Actually, those are all boring excuses, and the only reason is that you and I are close friends." ”

――――――――――――――――――

"Your Highness! Your Highness? ”

Hurriedly and softly, the man who sat firmly on the handsome chair of the Chinese army's big tent, wearing a Xuanjia helmet slightly tilted his head to support the desk, and lightly dozing pulled back to reality from his dream.

"Your Highness, good news ahead!" The person who disturbed his sweet dream was dressed in a blood-stained helmet at this time, kneeling in front of the case, and his face could not hide his joy.

At this time, the Chinese army marched solemnly for a moment, and the large banner with a silver-edged trident pattern on a black background stood in front of the tent, and two columns of Xuanjia soldiers holding silver tridents stood majestically.

Looking up from the place where the tent was raised, the fire outside the enemy camp in the distance was blazing, and the neighing of war horses, the trembling of horses, and the howling of soldiers were chaotic.

Slowly retracted his gaze, even though the left and right wings shouted and killed, the yellow dust was rolling, and the flag was covering the sun, but his Chinese army camp did not move at all, and he, the commander, was also napping in the tent easily.

This is a battle with almost no suspense, and the advantage of their own side is overwhelming, if the two old guys on the left and right flanks can't even fight this kind of small battle, then they can also tell the old man to return to his hometown and return to the South China Sea to accompany his father.

Therefore, the man in the dark armor and helmet didn't need to listen to the spies' report to know what the battle situation was now, only to see him tap the table in front of him with his slender fingers expressionlessly, blurting out words without a trace of the joy of a victor: "Pass my message to the two generals of Zhiguo and Zhuguo, all of them have been killed, and there is no need to leave a living mouth." ”

This breezy sentence was a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of people in the enemy camp, and finally the person in front of him was a warrior who had been in the battlefield for a long time, and he didn't feel a slight chill in his heart, and he didn't know how this Jue clan had annoyed His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was so ruthless.

I thought so, but I didn't dare to have the slightest objection, and after receiving the order, I quickly turned around and left.

At this time, the person sitting in the handsome chair gently leaned his body on the back of the chair, and his long dark green hair came out from under the black helmet, and scattered wantonly on the silver shining black armor, which actually made the handsome face as sharp as a knife more fierce.

He closed his eyes slightly, which were also turquoise, and inadvertently remembered the woman in his dream.

How long has it been since I dreamed of her? Decades? Or a hundred or two years? For their Ruoye tribe, it was just a blink of an eye, but for ordinary humans, it was a cycle of several lifetimes.

Why did you think of her so suddenly? Even her eyebrows were so clear in her dreams, as if she had just said goodbye to him yesterday, and he frowned inadvertently.

She was really a woman of incomparable intelligence, and she made such a request to him at such a time, she must have calculated that she would not break her word.

Best friends?

Or the only confidant in this world.

Confidante.

He pursed his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, for the sake of her dear friend, he had kept his promise for five hundred years, and perhaps would continue to do so until the day his life ended.

As long as he is alive for one day, Yonghui City will be able to stay away from the flames of war for one day, no matter who dares to fight the idea of Yonghui City, there is only one way to die.

The fate of this Jue clan is a case in point.

He will make them pay the price of extermination.

Inadvertently, I remembered her words that day: "You still have a pure heart and a benevolent heart in your heart." ”

Oh, charity? If she knew what she was doing now, she wouldn't know what she should be relieved to? Or is it resentful? She is such a benevolent woman, she must not bear to see this scene of rivers of blood.

However, he also has his own helplessness, the world at this time is no longer the day, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. Only by being so ruthless can he keep his promise to her that day.

He was no longer the most sincere young man he was back then, and the blood-stained robes of the battlefield had already cultivated his outnumbered temperament.

Perhaps, the only innocent love left in his heart is when he remembers her.

She is the only woman in the world, a unique confidant.

This love has nothing to do with love, but it is a lifelong constant attachment.
