Allure (8)

I knew I shouldn't stay here any longer, but should leave before He Liancheng found out. But for some reason, at that moment, my body was not commanded by my thoughts, and my legs couldn't move out.

Fortunately, He Liancheng seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, and was not aware of my presence. Swimming to the middle of the river, he poked his head out again, his upper body out of the water, and took a deep breath. Drops of water dripped down his simple black hair, flowing over his strong chest and resolute back, and his bronzed skin shone faintly in the moonlight, softening the resolute lines of his body.

Because of his perennial martial arts practice and the battlefield, I have to say that He Liancheng's figure is really good. Looking at the scene of the beautiful man in front of me taking a bath, I lowered my eyes slightly, and my face felt a little hot.

was struggling with whether to take the opportunity to leave, and He Liancheng had already plunged into the water and continued to swim forward. I saw that his paddling movements became more and more violent, and the speed of swimming was getting faster and faster, and after swimming dozens of meters away, he turned around and swam back, and his body passed everywhere, causing a surging splash all the way.

After going back and forth like this, I gradually felt something abnormal. It doesn't look like he's just swimming, but rather like he's venting some kind of suppressed emotion.

Judging by his appearance, he should have just returned from Hefu. Could it be that something happened in Hefu today?

"Who?" Suddenly, a low cry of power came into his ears. I was startled, and then I realized that he had stopped swimming at some point, and two sharp eyes were looking at my hiding place.

Oops, he still found out.

With a "bang", his tall and sturdy body had jumped up from the river and flew towards the opposite bank. I should have gone and picked up the clothes he had put over there.

Don't run now, wait when. I forcibly suppressed my panic, hurriedly performed light skills, shook my body, and fled here as if I tried my best to fly.

I felt like I had never run away in such a mess. I don't know if he saw me just now, but fortunately, when I rushed back to the barracks, he didn't catch up.

Outside the barracks, I took a few breaths to try to look calm and natural. walked into the room casually, but found that Dazhe was the only one there. Seeing me come back, Da Zhe didn't ask much, just stretched out his hand and handed me a pancake wrapped in oiled paper, and said with a straight face: "I saw you didn't go to eat just now." ”

In fact, Dazhe's temperament is quite similar to mine, they are the kind of people who are lonely and not very social, and they are usually cold-faced and never deliberately please others. However, perhaps because I entered the forward battalion with him, and now I have joined the same group of guards, he is very friendly to me.

"Thank you." I took the pancake from his hand and thanked him faintly.

Dazhe just looked at me, didn't answer, and turned to wipe his shiny sharp knife. The knife was strangely shaped, not common, maybe it was an heirloom of their family or something, but it seemed to have a special meaning to him, and I saw that he was almost ready to take it out and wipe it a few times, so it was no longer strange.

Seeing that he ignored me no longer, I didn't care, and sat down on my own bed and took a small bite. The glance that Da Zhe looked at me just now seemed to have some deep meaning, but at this moment I was not in the mood to analyze and explore Da Zhe's thoughts. Everyone has their own story, and I don't have a hobby of finding out what is on other people's minds. Except, of course, for him.

I could see that He Liancheng, who was swimming in the river just now, was not in a good mood. When he returned to Hefu today, something must have happened. Could it be related to the cause of his father's death?

That night, until I fell asleep, I was haunted by it.

However, the next day, He Liancheng rarely showed up in the barracks, and even Su Li and several of his cronies disappeared, and the deputy team was in charge of the training of the guards that day.

After the training, to everyone's surprise, the deputy team is announcing that tomorrow all the guards will have a day off, and the training will be suspended for a day.

It was rare for the guards to have a full day off, so after the deputy team was announced, everyone cheered in the school field. However, I began to take care of He Liancheng.

He must be in real trouble, right? What would he do if he found out that the real culprit who killed his father He Yuanshan was really Wanyan Lu? In my opinion, their He family is obviously more inclined to support Wan Yan Ping, and now he is biting Wan Yan Lu tightly, I don't know how Wan Yan Lu will deal with him?

It's a pity that a little guard like me, who is of humble status, has nowhere to inquire about him.

Coincidentally, the day when the guards rested also happened to be the day when Murong Jing and I made an appointment to meet in the hut. I haven't seen Red Flame for many days, and I've missed it a little.

At noon, I arrived at the cottage on the outskirts of the city. When he walked into the house, he found that there was silence, and there was no one around, Murong Jing and Chi Yan were not there.

Red Flame should have gone to the nearby mountains to forage for food and did not return. As for Murong Jing, a merry man, he probably forgot the agreement between me and him. I tore the corners of my mouth and sneered lightly, thinking that it would be more reliable to go out and find Chiyan first.

But before I could reach the door, I heard a "bang", and the door of the hut had been slammed open with a bang.

I subconsciously looked towards the door, and at first glance, I couldn't believe my eyes.

The person standing outside the door was tall and straight, with a handsome face, and his moon-white clothes made him even more erect and outstanding. That person is actually He Liancheng!

Why? Why did he suddenly appear here? I stood still, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He Liancheng looked at me fixedly for a long time, then raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, approaching me step by step. Behind him, the guards were Su Li, and more than a dozen other guards lined up to protect him.

"You...... Who the hell is it? His eyes were as sharp as a blade, as ruthless as ice, and the words that came out of his thin lips were so cold. I felt a pain in my heart, and I could only look at him quietly, unable to say anything.

Seeing that I stared at him without saying a word, He Liancheng was obviously a little impatient. The two heroic eyebrows furrowed, and ordered Su Li behind him: "Take it away." ”

"Yes, General!" Su Li raised his hand, and the two guards got the order, and they stepped forward in a few steps, and they wanted to catch me.

At that moment, a low, angry roar came from outside the courtyard wall of the hut, and the next moment the red flame body jumped down from the wall, protecting me in front of me, holding his head high and roaring at He Liancheng and the others as if demonstrating.

"This ...... Is this a fire?! Su Li let out an exclamation. He was older and well-informed, and he could see at a glance that the fierce-looking beast in front of him was the legendary ancient divine beast of the Beidi Kingdom, Huojiao.

When He Liancheng saw Chi Yan, there was a moment of stunned on his face, and then he seemed to react to something, his face sank, and his tone of questioning me was even more severe. "You are from Xuanwang's Mansion! said, whose order did you follow when you infiltrated the He family's army, and what are your intentions? ”

In the face of his questioning, I could only smile bitterly and feel very sad. I knew he recognized Red Flame, and he recognized me. After all, at the wedding banquet of Qianmo and King Xuan that day, he watched me tame Chiyan from the sidelines.

However, in his eyes, I am a person from Xuanwangfu, just a person who works hard for Xuanwangfu. He didn't know what my name was, and he didn't know what I thought of him.

Now that he has found out his identity, I don't want to hide it anymore. Raising my hand and gently tearing off the human skin mask on my face, I showed my true face in front of him for the first time since joining the He Jiajun.

"You...... You're a woman! Su Li's eyes widened, and he screamed again. The rest of the guards had also expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Sure enough, it's you." He Lianchengjun's face was frosty, and he spit out words like ice, "King Xuan and Princess Xuan are really good strategies, on the one hand, they forced our country to sign an armistice agreement with the northwest, and on the other hand, they sent people to secretly infiltrate the He family's army, which is really ill-intentioned and ambitious. ”

Apparently he misunderstood, but no wonder he was thinking about it. I am a member of the Momen, and who in the world does not know that the Momen has now surrendered to the Xuanwang Mansion.

But my sneaking into the He family's army is completely my selfishness, and it is also my responsibility. In any case, I can't let Xuanwangfu carry this black cauldron.

Xuan Wangfu sent people to lurk in Beidi Kingdom, if such news spreads, not only will it damage the reputation of Xuan Wangfu, but if it is not done well, it may also lead to conflicts between countries. That's not what I want to see.

In just a thought, I already had a decision in my mind.

"General He thinks too much." I returned to my usual rigid tone, and said to him expressionlessly: "My infiltration into the He family's army has nothing to do with the Xuan Palace, it is my personal reason. ”

He Liancheng snorted coldly, "Are you a three-year-old child when you are a general?" You were the one who followed General Ben the night before yesterday, what, do you want to plot against General Ben? ”

His cold and detached eyes were like knives, slashing through my heart. But I could only be ruthless, gritted my teeth and said: "That's right, I want to plot against you, but unfortunately I plotted against you, not on the orders of King Xuan's mansion, but because of ...... I want to avenge my parents and family. ”
