Xue Zhen's answer was very firm, but when it entered Li Yuejiao's ears, it was blown by a strong wind and scattered in the early winter of northern Xinjiang.

But she had heard it very clearly,

After that, they rarely spoke when they were in a hurry, and most of the time Li Yuejiao could hear nothing but the sound of the wind, only the sound of Xue Zhen's heartbeat.

Occasionally, during a break, Li Yuejiao asked Xue Zhenjing what was going on now.

Xue Zhen could only answer her: "I don't know, but Your Majesty and the crown prince have sent people north." ”

"Which side will the prince choose?" Li Yuejiao asked him.

Xue Zhen was silent for a long time, and replied to the question: "I hope nothing happens." ”

At least, it shouldn't be something that involves you.

Li Yuejiao didn't understand the meaning of his words, but she seemed to understand his choice.

*

Li Yuejiao followed the team and walked from the capital to the north of Xinjiang for nearly a month.

But this time, he rode back to Yujing City with Xue Zhen, and ran non-stop for two days and two nights, and then arrived within the range of Gyeonggi.

On the way, they changed horses once at the post station, using the silver whistle and official certificate of the brown-clothed man.

The exchange went unexpectedly smoothly, and the post officer did not doubt it, but not only changed horses for them, but also provided them with some good dry food.

And after arriving in Gyeonggi, Li Yuejiao still couldn't feel the tense atmosphere that could show such a major event as "His Majesty's assassination".

There are not even many road blocks.

It was so peaceful that Li Yuejiao really suspected that the rumors of killing the monarch were as Xue Zhen said: nothing happened.

Could it be a nightmare? She thought about it, and quietly twisted herself to see if she could come to her senses.

However, Xue Zhen slowed down his journey, and finally arrived thirty miles outside the capital on the night of the third day after they left the northern frontier.

On this day, it began to rain heavily in the afternoon, and after the heavy rain turned into a rapid light rain in the night, hitting people in the face, making it difficult to see clearly, and the roads were even more muddy, even for horses.

They didn't have a robe, and both cloaks were wrapped around Li Yuejiao's body by Xue Zhen.

Xue Zhen no longer hurried, but in front of a willow tree, he turned over and dismounted with Li Yuejiao in his arms.

He stroked the three circles carved on the tree, and said with a slight mutter:

"That's it."

He picked up Li Yuejiao horizontally, walked into the depths of the bushes with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and chose a place to put her down.

Li Yuejiao looked at him inexplicably: "What is the son going to do?" ”

Xue Zhen smiled at her.

She had raindrops hanging from her long eyelashes, and the three days and two nights of traveling made her look much haggard.

He raised a hand in front of her forehead to block the rain, but time was tight and he couldn't stop it for long.

He shoved a bag into her hand and admonished:

"Keep it. Wait, whatever happens, don't go out, don't make a noise. ”

After that, he didn't delay any longer, squatted down according to Li Yuejiao, turned around and walked out.

Li Yuejiao held the rather heavy bag at a loss, looking at Xue Zhen's figure moving quickly towards the official road, a very bad premonition rose in her heart, and she hurriedly whispered to him:

"Shizi."

The sound of the rain was too urgent, I don't know if Xue Zhen didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it.

"Xue Zhongjing!" She shouted again, slightly higher, when suddenly a thunderclap rang out, engulfing her voice.

But this time, Xue Zhen looked back at her, moved his mouth, and said two words.

The thunder made her unable to hear what he said, but the lightning that pierced the darkness before made Li Yuejiao understand the shape of his mouth.

- Don't be afraid.

Li Yuejiao watched in a daze as Xue Zhen ran out of the bushes and turned over on his horse.

Only this time, he didn't go far, and suddenly a cold arrow flew out of the darkness, hitting Xue Zhen's left shoulder.

Xue Zhen, who had been running for three days and two nights, couldn't dodge the arrow, snorted, and rolled off the horse.

Li Yuejiao, who was hiding in the bushes, saw the moment Xue Zhen fell off the horse very clearly.

She almost shouted, but when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she covered her mouth hard, and used her body to protect the bag he gave her, staying in place, not daring to move.

- Don't go out, don't make a noise.

(This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 116: Throwing Yourself into the Net

- Someone will die between you and me, but it can only be me.

But why?

Before she could figure it out, a figure jumped behind her silently, covering Li Yuejiao's mouth with lightning speed in the dark.

Li Yuejiao was so frightened that her face was pale, but the strength of the person behind her was so strong that she couldn't break free at all.

A woman's voice rang in her ears at the same time:

"Ma'am, long time no see."

*

When Xue Zhen fell off his horse, four shadows broke through the rain curtain from not far away, surrounding Xue Zhen in the middle, and two people's swords were already on his neck.

The leader wore a hat and a silver spear, and said with a cruel smile: "The prince is the commander of an army and the patriarch of a party, so rich, why do you take it lightly?" ”

Xue Zhen half-knelt on the ground with a shoulder injury, and when he saw who it was, he laughed.

"Each other, why did Governor Jiang leave the northern frontier?" He said, not resisting.

When he fell from his horse, his bow and arrow fell to the ground, and he was so tired that he couldn't resist, so he simply grabbed it.

He just said, "I want to see the prince." ”

Envoy Jiang's smile became even more hideous.

He has always looked at Xue Zhen unpleasantly, and he is in a high position at a young age, isn't it because of his background?

Everyone in Beijing said that he was elegant and easy-going, but only people like him, who were ordered to supervise the army in northern Xinjiang, knew the other side of Xue Zhen:

Arbitrary, arrogant and rude, there is no respect for him!

And now, at least for now, he is finally shorter than himself.

He walked over, raised his hand and pierced Xue Zhen's right shoulder with a shot, and said sarcastically: "How noble is the prince, and he is also worthy of a chaotic minister and thief like you?" ”

The silver spear pierced his body, but Xue Zhen didn't snort, only as if relieved, and said softly:

"Not the prince."

It's not the prince, it's fine.

The father and son of the heavenly family have not fallen into the situation of cannibalism in the end, so it's good.

Jiang Du didn't want to say a word to himself, but let Xue Zhen guess the current embarrassing situation, his face flashed with anger, kicked Xue Zhen in the chest, kicked him to the ground, and then turned the silver gun hard.

The severe pain made Xue Zhen almost die.

"Where's the blood edict?" Governor Jiang asked hatefully.

Xue Zhen lay on the ground and looked at him, smiling like a fool.

Governor Jiang had already understood, angrily pulled out the gun, and then sent him hard, directly nailing him to the ground.

"Does the prince think that if you hide your wife, we won't be able to find it?" Governor Jiang pointed to the bushes and angrily, "Bring me the Li family!" ”

Xue Zhen still stared at him and smiled.

It's just that his remaining subordinates were ordered to go around the bushes, where can I still find Li Yuejiao's shadow?!

"Master Jiang, no." Humane men.

Envoy Jiang's eyes widened and he looked at Xue Zhen incredulously.

"Where's she?"

Didn't he throw himself into the net?

Xue Zhen finally laughed out loud, only twice, and the rain and detachment made his laughter turn into a cough.

"Your Excellency," he said weakly, "you'd better keep me alive, or ......"

Before he finished speaking, the man had already fainted.
