Chapter 45: Heart-to-Heart Talk
"She's been caught too?" Fu Shen asked.
Huan Ci sighed: "Except for the people we brought to explore the path first, the rest are dead." We just ran away together, and I was found before I could leave, but luckily she ran out, and I don't know where she is now? ”
The dark room was damp and cold, and Huan Ci involuntarily leaned against the man.
"It's so remote here, even if she finds a rescuer, she won't necessarily be able to find us, we won't die here, right?" She said dejectedly.
"It's just that I didn't expect that I would die with you." Without waiting for Fu Shen to respond, she spoke again.
For a long time, the man did not reply. In the flustering darkness, Huan Ci could only hear his faint breathing.
"You—" she paused, almost silently, "do you hate me so much?" ”
"Hmm."
Huan Ci grinned bitterly.
Although she had been prepared, she felt as if she had been pulled by someone, which made her a little breathless.
"I'm the one who bears you." She muttered.
"Hmm."
"It's a pity," she shook her head regretfully, "I thought the peak had turned, and who knew that creation would make people." ”
In the flash of light, the situation on the cliff that night appeared in her mind again.
Huan Ci leaned weakly against the wall, thinking about the recent accidents.
"Are the Yong people who assassinated Zong Zhengche the same people who attacked us?" She turned her head to look at Fu Shen.
No matter how much she helped Fu Shen make excuses, the person who assassinated Zong Zhengche that day had nothing to do with him. But since they colluded, why did that group of people turn around and deal with Fu Shen? What was their purpose in capturing her and Zong Zhengtang?
"Tell me, is it that old thief Zong Zhengyuan conspired with the tiger for skin, and was bitten by the tiger as a result?" She asked.
There was no sound in the dark room for a long time, and Huan Ci gradually ran out of patience.
"Why are you helping him? He is incompetent, suspicious and fickle, and he is not the Ming Jun you want to assist at all. ”
"But he's the emperor."
"Humph!" Huan Ci stood up and looked at him indignantly, "As long as he is in place for a day, the government and the opposition will not be able to live in peace." My father and I have endured it for too long, and we won't sit still. ”
"No one has let you sit still." Fu Shen's voice was exceptionally clear, "I just hope that the least amount of blood can save the most people." ”
"I know what you mean. You should say this to Zong Zhengyuan. Huan Ci said coldly, "On the way from Yingdu to Puzhou, what kind of life the people lived, didn't you see it?" He only cares about his own pleasure, only knows infighting, and he is the one who deserves the most blood. ”
"You're right." Fu Shen coughed heavily twice and then agreed.
Huan Ci opened his mouth, and he blocked the next words.
"And why are you?" She asked in a low voice.
"No matter what you're facing, you have to try it to know if you can do it." The man's smile was a little bitter, but Huan Ci didn't notice it in the dark.
She suddenly remembered something from the past.
When she pretended to be a man and went to school in the academy that year, Fu Shen said something similar.
It was her first time touching an arrow, and she and Fu Shen were separated together, and then they had to compete with two other men.
Fu Shen was still a half-ass, and she didn't know anything. She didn't want to go up and be embarrassed, so she planned to give up a long time ago.
As a result, Fu Shen scolded her for this, and dragged her to the shooting range to practice archery as soon as she got school.
Although they didn't win the competition, their archery skills improved a lot. Over the years, I have always practiced archery when I am bored, and now I am a master. As for Fu Shen, looking at the arrow he shot at Zongzheng that day, he knew that he must be diligent in practice.
"I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." She yawned and sat down next to him.
I was woken up as soon as I fell asleep last night, and I didn't rest for a moment on the road because I was in a hurry. Now that she saw that Fu Shen was still alive, although the two of them were locked up here, she was actually relieved.
It doesn't seem so bad to be able to die with him.
She leaned lightly on Fu Shen's shoulder, and after a moment relaxed.
The man's body froze, and he almost forgot to breathe for a moment. Feeling Huan Ci's head getting heavier and heavier, Fu Shen knew that she was really asleep.
She seemed to be dreaming, and kept talking about her dreams. It's just that his voice is too muffled, or maybe he's too unconscious to hear a word.
My body is getting hotter and hotter, and my chest is getting more and more uncomfortable. Looking at the sleeping woman, Fu Shen still endured it silently. However, some things could not be held back, and finally, he began to cough violently.
This movement immediately woke up Huan Ci.
She looked at the man's blurred silhouette in surprise and reached out to cover his forehead.
"You have a fever."
"Leave me alone." Fu Shen took her hand and moved away.
"How can this work? It's a pity that I only brought gold sore medicine. Huan Ci pouted.
"It's okay, we're going to die anyway." Fu Shen smiled.
Immediately afterward, the back of his head was firmly slapped with a slap.
"What nonsense?" Huan Ci glared at him with displeasure, but soon regretted it.
"You must hold on, I'll go find the exit." She put some dry grass behind Fu Shen and wanted to go to the door in the dark.
But the man dragged her tightly, and had no intention of letting her go.
"No exit, don't go." He suddenly buried his head in her shoulders and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Huan Ci was stunned, and then began to gently stroke his hair.
The man's hot temperature could still reach her through the fabric, and the fine sweat slowly wet her clothes.
"It's because I can't live with you, I shouldn't let you go to the capital."
After a long time, the person in his arms suddenly made a low voice.
Huan Ci smiled self-deprecatingly.
In fact, when she received the secret decree at that time, the first thing she thought about was to see him again.
She took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat for him, and said softly, "Don't think about this, you can rest for a while." ”
I don't know what time it was, but the two people in the dark room finally quieted down, and a man and a woman fell asleep close to each other supporting each other.
When Sweeping Leaves arrived, he saw such a situation.
Zong Zhengtang, who followed him in, was stunned in place, and looked at this scene unexpectedly and calmly.
Fu Shen was leaning on Huan Ci, his head buried on her shoulder. Huan Ci leaned against the wall, his arms clasped around Fu Shen's shoulders, and he was sleeping soundly.
In fact, she was not surprised, she had already heard about the two. It's just that she always deliberately doesn't listen, and always makes excuses for them, just like now, she still wants to believe that they just hug each other to keep warm.
The voices of the crowd were the first to alarm Fu Shen, who slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person who came with vigilance.
Sweeping Ye raised his eyebrows and hurriedly walked in front of him to block the view of the group of people behind. After peeking at the frowning woman in the man's arms, he said softly: "Fortunately, the third master left a mark outside, and this place is too difficult to find." ”
Fu Shen hurriedly looked down at the sleeping woman and breathed a sigh of relief silently.
When Sao Ye saw the warning handed by his grandfather, he was really puzzled by the second monk.
