Chapter 35: Returning to the Capital

Helian lost his patience and his composure, and the tension in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

"Si Nanyue, why aren't you awake yet? Are you going to die so easily? You're not afraid...... Aren't you afraid that everything you've done will be wasted? You will not be afraid that this king will slaughter your whole city! You're waking up!! ”

Finally, the jar in his hand fell to the ground, and he kept shaking her unresponsive body, terrified as he had when he faced his mother's body when he was six years old.

Apohan clasped his shoulders and sighed: "Your Highness, don't be like this, since the little city lord is gone, you can bury her well, and it is not in vain that she has accompanied you." ”

"Don't touch me!"

His eyes were blood-red, he waved away Apohan's hand, stepped forward to hold Si Nanyue's face, and carefully observed her, like a drowning man desperately seeking a glimmer of life.

"Have you forgotten your promise to this king? You said that within two years, you will help this king to fulfill what you want, how can you abandon this king now......"

He was numb and cold, shook his head and got up, brought a wine jug, forcibly pinched Si Nanyue's lips and poured it in, "You drink quickly, you can warm up after drinking, and you can wake up......"

"That's fucking enough!" Apohan couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and pushed Helian Du away, blocking him and Si Nanyue like a wall, shouting: "Your Highness, be sober!" We haven't seen you do this for a woman for more than 20 years, so we don't understand, if you like the little city lord, why do you torture her so much? If you don't like her, what's the difference between her living and dying? She's all like this, so don't toss her. ”

"I ......"

Helian was confused, he shook his tall body and skewed two steps back, yes...... It's just a woman, from the beginning, he didn't have her in his plans, but when did he start caring about her?

Was that the night when he fed her an aphrodisiac? Her tears that night haunt him to this day.

Or is it when she is about to die? At that time, he tried his best to want her to wake up, and even willingly returned to the black worm quagmire to find the aconitum green that could detoxify......

Or was it when she pushed the boat down the river to force out those rebels? Maybe...... Or when she used her own blood to save Apohan?

He couldn't figure it out, he only knew that when he knew that her heart belonged last night, his unwillingness and anger were still ...... Heartache for some reason......

Ah Po rarely seemed to be effective in his words, and said: "Your Highness, the little city lord is a good woman, but she ......"

"Ahem...... cough cough ......"

Before Apohan finished speaking, he heard Si Nanyue behind him suddenly cough violently, and then tilted his head and spit out the wine he had just drunk.

"Hah...... Hahahahaha......ha

Helian was stunned, and suddenly let out a trembling laugh, and a pair of cold eyes were filled with water, "This king knows that you are not so easy to die!" ”

He pushed Apohan away and walked quickly to her, only to see her head hanging down, her bloodless lips slightly buzzing, as if muttering something in a low voice, he leaned over and listened, she was trembling and sobbing, "Brother...... Save me...... Help me......"

Helian decided to hold her hand and froze in the air, the tears dripping from the corners of his eyes fell into his heart, and the smashed heart throbbed, she should hate him very much......

Looking back now, in the past, every look, every word, and uncommon smile she used to have a bitter hatred for him, and she buried her true self in the bottom of her heart and showed that she was just a puppet who was a little low for him.

But so what?

Helian resolutely hugged the trembling her into his arms, even so, he didn't allow Si Nanyue to leave his side!

"Brother...... Father...... I can't hold it anymore...... Help me...... Kill...... Kill me......"

She leaned limply on Helian Duan's shoulder, almost desperately pleading, tears pouring out of her eyes, as if only death could free her from her never-ending torment.

At the same time, halfway up the mountainside in a cold and damp cave......

"Don't touch her...... Don't touch her!! ”

Bai Yu was talking in a dream, his voice was getting louder and louder, his hand kept waving, Ah Kui wanted to wake him up with sleepy eyes, but as soon as his hand was on his arm, Bai Yu suddenly shouted and sat up, as if he was choked by the neck, panting violently.

"Brother Baiyu, what's wrong with you?"

Ah Kwai asked him with a gesture, and intimately wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"It's noisy for you, it's nothing, it's just ...... Had nightmares. ”

He smiled reluctantly, since he survived the battlefield, he had often had nightmares, but this time the dream was extremely realistic, and even in the moment after he woke up, he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.

Bai Yu was awakened by a nightmare, and he could not sleep for a while, so Ah Kui simply lit a candle and illuminated the lonely cave, which they had stumbled upon yesterday while hunting, and although it was cold, it was much better than living in the snow.

Since leaving the town, in order to avoid the Chiyuan soldiers, the two of them have picked difficult mountain roads to hurry, and after getting along these days, she feels more and more that Brother Bai Yu is not an ordinary person.

She only knew that he was going to Ganquan City, but she didn't know what he was going to do there, but she could be sure that Brother Bai Yu was not just looking for a place to settle where there was no war.

"What's the matter, Ah Kui, can't you sleep?"

He was half-chaired against the stone wall behind him, tilting his head to look at Ah Kui, she nodded, gestured and asked, "Brother Baiyu, what kind of nightmare are you doing?" ”

"What is this for?"

"Mother said she had a nightmare, and she had to say it before the sun rose the next day, so that the nightmare would not come true."

"There is such a strange saying......" He lowered his eyes and chuckled, twisted the corners of his clothes, and finally raised his head to look at Ah Kui, the corners of his lips were obviously hooked upward, but his eyes were red, and there was a layer of mist floating in them.

"I dreamed that my little sister, in a white snow, covered with wounds, begged me for help, she said she couldn't bear it, she wanted me to ...... Kill her......"

His nose twitched slightly, as if trying to tell the story as if it were an unimportant matter, but the tears in his eyes betrayed him.

"In the dream, I was standing behind a transparent wall of ice and couldn't do anything...... In the end, I watched her be dragged away by the madman and finally disappear into the snow......"

Ah Kui moved her body forward, locked her eyebrows in distress, and tears rolled out of her eyes.

"I'm not crying yet, why are you crying?"

Bai Yu wiped her tears, but wiped a drop, and two places fell, he was amused, pinched the tip of Ah Kui's reddish nose, and said: "There is a little girl next to my little sister, called Ximing, she is cute and crying, she has to cry ten times a day, her eyes are red like the rabbit I raised, and then I named her, called Xiaoxitu, you are about the same age, if you meet in the future, you can cry more than anyone." ”

Ah Kui snorted and shook her head, meaning that she didn't love tears so much.

"Ha ......"

Bai Yu smiled bitterly, moved his gaze to the burning candle flame, and frowned unconsciously when he remembered the dream that made him feel painful.

"I must borrow soldiers, you are holding on for a while, waiting for me to ......"

It turned out that he was going to borrow soldiers! Ah Kui suddenly realized, no wonder they were in such a hurry these days, she tilted her head and thought about it, so she came to Bai Yu and gestured to him.

"You want us to leave now?"

Ah Kui nodded heavily.

"It's too cold outside now, your body can't bear it, so let's start tomorrow morning."

"I'm fine." Ah Kui grabbed his arm and shook it, his deer-like clear eyes looked at him blinkingly, and continued to gesture: "I have been going up the mountain every day to chop firewood since I was a child, and I have to set off in the middle of the night, and it is the same on snowy days, I am used to it, Brother Baiyu don't have to worry about me." ”

"Aoi ......"

"Let's go, let's go."

Ah Kui pulled him up from the ground, neatly packed his bags, and the two continued to set off in the snow, she looked up at the white elm in the snow, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, dimples are sweeter than candied fruit.

She hugged the bag in her arms tighter, she might not be able to do anything for him, but she would definitely stay by his side, hoping that his family would be reunited, as long as Bai Yu could fulfill his wish, it would be Ah Kui's greatest wish.

The cold wind roared by, the snow was rolled up and flew in the air, entangled with the snowflakes falling from the sky, and the dead leaves hanging on the branches shook desperately in the wind, making a mournful roar, and the long night was bitterly cold, but the people who took refuge in the camp tent were not relieved.

Although Si Nanyue reacted, she had no sign of waking up, contrary to Fang Cai, her body temperature was terrifyingly hot at this time, and her face, which was as white as paper, was covered with redness, but she was still like being in the wind and snow, she kept muttering about cold, and talking nonsense from time to time, her body trembled involuntarily, her mind was in a trance, and her breath was dying.

Qingier was implicated, waited here for a day and a night, he listened to Apohan snoring like thunder on the side, he couldn't help but secretly envy, after he checked the pulse again, he said: "Your Highness, the little city lord has a high fever until now, our army is already short of medicine, and now it is catching up with the heavy snow to close the mountain, and there is no place to pick herbs, if she survives by herself, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

In fact, he understood what Qinggil said, and finally, after Helian decided to think about it carefully, he ordered Qinggil to send Dari Achi.

As soon as Dari Achi entered the king's tent and saw Si Nanyue, who was in a precarious condition, he secretly congratulated himself that after he knew that Si Nanyue was punished yesterday, he found an excuse in advance to break up the tea, otherwise the little girl didn't know what the rush would be.

As soon as Dari Achi came, Helian Du arranged a secret mission for him, asking him to wear Helian Duel's human skin mask again, and lead the Wolf King Army back to the frontier troops after the wind and snow stopped.

And Helian dueled...... He wanted to personally take Si Nanyue back to the royal capital for treatment.

He is still relieved of Dari Achi, he is clever, and he has some means, and after what happened last time, it can be determined that he has no second thoughts about himself, he is a usable person, and this is not too far from the frontier troops, there is nothing to worry about, it's just ...... The only problem today is the making of human/leather masks.

Dari Achi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said at the right time: "My subordinates saw that Miss Si had made a human/leather mask once, and I have the confidence to give it a try, but I still have to bother His Highness to cooperate." ”
