Chapter 42: The Hope of Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly
In the late autumn season, the withered yellow fallen leaves can be seen everywhere, which looks a little bleak and desolate.
When the Purple Feather Imperial City was as peaceful and peaceful as ever, but I didn't want to, the soldiers at the border were suffering from the plague, and they had to guard against the enemy's sneak attack from time to time, and they didn't know when they would say goodbye to this world.
What the people don't know is that the seemingly peaceful Ling Wangfu is also facing unprecedented danger, and their meritorious God of War has already become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people.
In the quiet courtyard of King Ling's Mansion, the dead leaves on the trees made their last struggle like moths, and when the last leaf fell into the dirt, the bare trunks stood on the ground, no one noticed, and a chrysalis was crawling tightly on one of the branches.
The magpie looked at the courtyard that had just been cleaned, and it was full of fallen leaves, and Shui Ling's eyes became dim, "Winter is coming, but can this winter be as peaceful as before, Miss, you must come back safely..."
"Miss is a martial artist, she knows both medical skills and is good at using poison, and she is extremely smart, so she will be fine." Jiang Yi slowly walked behind her and whispered, for fear of scaring her.
The magpie turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw the handsome and firm face of the person who came, his face was on fire, and he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, "Why are you here, doesn't the Qixiang Pavilion have many things that you need to deal with?" ”
The corners of his mouth rose, hooking up a good-looking arc, and slowly moved towards her, "I'm just a killer leader, I don't have to do everything myself, so I naturally have some leisure time, so I want to come and see you." Why, the Magpie Girl doesn't want to see me? ”
"No, no..." whispered, her hand unconsciously tugged at her sleeve, God knows how nervous she is now, for some reason, there are so many men in Ling Wang's Mansion, when facing Ling Feng and them, they have never felt this way, but when facing the person in front of them, it is like being possessed by something, as if they have become not themselves.
Jiang Yi looked at her now, his heart was happy, and his eyebrows were frivolous, "The magpie girl seems to be a little uncomfortable every time she sees me, am I too fierce and vicious?" ”
"No, no, it's just me..." suddenly looked up, forcing himself to look at him indifferently, but he never thought that he was looking down at him, his eyes were hot, and his face was as red as coals of fire.
His thin lips opened lightly, and he said softly, "Just what? ”
"I, I don't know, why, when facing you, I would, would be like this, I wasn't like this..."
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Jiang Yi's face suddenly distanced herself from her, "Miss asked me to pay more attention to the palace before leaving, she was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation." And..."The last two words, the voice was deliberately elongated, and the corners of her mouth looked at her with a wicked smile.
"And what?" Still bowing his head, he asked in a low voice.
"And, miss, she has entrusted you to me, let me take good care of you these days when she is away. When the young lady comes back, I'll have to give her a live magpie..."
The magpie's face turned even redder after hearing this, and his chest kept pounding, it's over, is he sick......
At this time, hundreds of black-clothed people suddenly flew down from the air, the sword in their hands went straight towards the magpie, Jiang Yi quickly pushed her away, pulled out the sword in his hand and jumped up, where the swords collided, there was a clang, and there were slight sparks, and the guards of the palace heard the sound of the fight and all came out to fight, but these black-clothed people were all dead soldiers, and they didn't stop if they didn't see blood, and it didn't take long for the courtyard of the palace to be stained with blood, and seeing the guards fall one by one, Jiang Yi, who had no time to separate, shouted at the magpie, "Hurry up!" ”
The magpie knew that he would only drag him down here, so he ran to the gate, but he never thought that there were people in black everywhere, and when he ran to the front yard, when a man's sword stabbed at her, she closed her eyes tightly, Miss, the magpie can't be with you in the future......
But there was no unexpected pain, he opened his eyes, and found that he was lying next to him full of corpses of people in black, when he saw the familiar figure, his nervous and frightened heart temporarily eased, and he shouted excitedly, "Ling Yi! ”
Ling Yi glanced at her, did not speak, and continued to fight with those black-clothed people, his shot was as fast as lightning, his neat and vigorous figure swirled in the air, and the sword in his hand swung rapidly, and it didn't take long for the assassins in the front yard to fall to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Ling Yi landed smoothly, gasping lightly, and walked towards the magpie, his face stained with the blood of the assassin.
When the magpie looked up and saw the blood on his face, he was startled, "No, it's okay..."
Ling Yi touched his face, saw the red in his hand, and smiled slightly, "I didn't expect Miss to be so powerful, but her maid is so timid." Coward..."
"Who do you say is cowardly!" Staring at him with wide eyes, it was so unreasonable to dare to say that she was cowardly.
"I said you were a coward, but the blood of the assassin scared you like this, but when I saw the man's sword facing you just now, you were very brave, you didn't hide or cry, and you looked like you were going to die generously..."
The magpie was stunned, Ling Yi, who had always been dull and indifferent, and who was not smiling, actually laughed now, and would make fun of her, but he was really charming when he laughed. She had to admire the magic of her young lady, who could not only change the prince, but even these thousand-year-old ice cubes under the prince's hands were also reborn......
"Ling Yi, you said, what kind of potion did my young lady give you, how did you change so quickly, you actually laughed." The magpie looked at him as if he had discovered a new continent and couldn't help but laugh.
Ling Yi was stunned, he just smiled? Touching his face, how long had he not smiled so carelessly, he had forgotten himself......
"One of the envoys, all the assassins in the palace have been wiped out by us..."Ling's secret guards appeared in front of them out of thin air, startling the magpie.
"Good. Were there any casualties? Ling's face was cold, and a stern voice burst out of the air.
"Thirty of our men were killed, fifty wounded, and three hundred of our enemies were destroyed."
Ling nodded slightly, as long as it was a battle, it would be impossible to have no casualties, and what he had to do in the future was to minimize the casualties as much as possible, so as to live up to the prince's heavy responsibility, "Let them go down to recuperate their injuries, and in addition, give a generous burial to the dead." ”
The magpie watched their vigorous skills disappear into the air all of a sudden, and couldn't help but sigh, all the people under the prince are very powerful, and she finally knows why these people can die for the prince today, because the prince treats them as sincerely as the young lady treats herself, not just as a subordinate.
"Brother Jiang!" Suddenly thinking that Jiang Yi was fighting alone just now, I don't know how he is now, I turned around and wanted to run to the backyard, but the moment I turned around, I saw Jiang Yi standing behind her at some point, showing a joyful smile, "Are you okay?" ”
Jiang Yi raised his lips and smiled, "Are you worried about me?" ”
The magpie blushed and nodded.
Ling Yi on the side frowned, his hands on his hips, "Magpie, why aren't you so coquettish when you talk to me..."
The magpie turned around and gave him a big roll of his eyes, "Ling Yi, I think it's better for you to be as you used to be, at least not so annoying." ”
Ling Yi's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Yi on the side, "Miss expected it well, they really attacked the palace." The butler was seriously injured just now, and more than half of the guards were killed or wounded, so it seems that these days, we have to strengthen the protection of the palace. ”
"Not bad. Fortunately, there were no assassins alive today, otherwise the matter of Miss's absence in the palace would have been exposed. In this way, because they are afraid of Miss's power, they should no longer be unfavorable to the palace in the short term. Ling Yi now finally understands the reason why the princess insists on not letting him go, compared to it, the palace needs more protection now, the princess has Ling Feng by her side, and the protection of the prince of the water country, there should be no danger, he only hopes that the prince can be safe and sound now.
At this time, the chrysalis on the tree in the backyard suddenly broke out of the cocoon, and a beautiful butterfly flew out of it until it flew in front of them, and the magpie shouted in surprise, "Butterfly!" ”
Jiang Yi and Ling Yi looked at each other, the corners of their mouths curled slightly, in such an environment, it seems that the light will come soon, as long as they don't give up, hope will always be ......
Shui Mo Xuan's carriage was speeding towards the border, and Ling Feng was driving the carriage outside with Chuan Xiang and Yi Rong, but he did not let go of any movement inside.
Ling Feng knew that Shui Mo Xuan was interested in the princess, but now he had to use his identity as the prince of the water country to hide his eyes, and all he could do was to take good care of him for the prince, in case he took the opportunity to mistreat the princess.
Along the way, Mu Zhiyu sat quietly in the corner, no matter what Shui Moxuan told her, she didn't want to deal with him, and the previous image of the iceberg beauty was perfectly interpreted by her.
"Mu Zhiyu, I know you're worried about Murong Lingche, but it will take a few days to reach the border pass, do you just keep not eating, drinking, or talking like this?" Shui Moxuan's brows were about to twist, and he grabbed his sleeves and scratched his head for a while, but the woman in front of him just ignored him.
"I don't have an appetite." These were the first words she had said since she got into the carriage.
"Oh my God, you're finally willing to speak." The smile of surprise was dazzling, and the ecstasy that could not be concealed made so that people outside could also feel it. "Anyway, you have to eat a little, you are like this, you fell down before you arrived..."
"Shui Mo Xuan, do you know that you are very noisy." glanced at him, reluctantly took the food he handed over, and reluctantly ate it, he was right, he must not fall.
Seeing that she was finally willing to eat, the corners of her mouth slowly rose, "Yes, I'm noisy..."
She lowered her head and nibbled on the osmanthus cake in her hand, and stopped talking, although her face was cold at the moment, but in the eyes of Shui Mo Xuan, it was extremely cute.
I think when I first saw her, she said that saving herself was just by the way, but he could feel the worry and unbearability in her eyes at that time, although she was very indifferent, but she couldn't hide her kind heart, in such a family, she could always hide her strength, forbearance and protect herself, what kind of state of mind has trained her now.
It was also from then on that her figure lingered in her mind until it was deeply imprinted in her heart and could never be erased.
Suddenly, there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows were lowered, and his eyes were unspeakably lonely, what kind of torment was he going through in his heart to make him willing to accompany her to save another man......
