17 Innocence

The sunset melts gold, and the twilight clouds merge.

Luo Chaolu rushed all the way back to his palace.

Biyue couldn't find her, and was slumped on the felt carpet and burst into tears. At this time, seeing her rushing in panting, Biyue's expression was a little dazed, she got up from the ground, and sobbed:

"Where is Your Highness? Scared the hell out of me. ”

Chaolu hurried to the king's banquet tonight, walked a few steps briskly and sat in front of the makeup bride and began to groom herself. She looked through the bronze mirror, but saw that Biyue's face was full of tears and trembling. She was a little puzzled in her heart, turned her head and asked:

"What are you crying about?"

"Your Highness will be good when you come back...... "Viyue lowered her head.

Chaolu became more and more puzzled, glanced at it sharply, and saw a blood mark on Biyue's chin, and then refused to speak no matter how she asked, but pointed to the depths of the dormitory.

The sky is getting dark, and there are palace lights lit everywhere, but it still can't suppress the heavy night.

Chao Lu's heart moved, picked up a hairpin in his hand, held it in his hand, and walked slowly inward. She hadn't taken a few steps when she saw a black shadow suddenly appear from behind the mica screen, flashing in front of her.

Between the lightning and flint, she swung her wrist forward, and the tip of the hairpin was firmly clamped by the man.

As if he knew what she was going to do, the man knocked out the sharp weapon in her hand with one hand, holding her in front of him, and covering her lips with the palm of the other.

The hot breath exhaled by the man behind her was a bit familiar, and it flickered faintly behind her ears:

"It's me."

Chaolu heard the voice and looked back in shock.

The person behind him was dressed in a night robe, with a left robe, and the breastplate was not removed, and there seemed to be blood stains on it.

Under the palace lamp, the light and shadow are gathering. The man has a high nose and deep eyes, the outline is like carving, and the extremely outstanding facial features are clear in front of his eyes.

A pair of amber eyes looked at her, and the smile was clear:

"Dewdrop's skills are a little worse. Forgot everything I taught you? ”

Between the figures and shadows, a lock of hair was picked out from between his two agate foreheads and hung down, making him casual and uninhibited. The thin eyelids drooped, and the voice was lazy.

She was in a trance for a moment before she shouted:

"Third brother!"

Her hands clenched the man's arms and looked up at him.

The person in front of him was tall, with burly shoulders and back, and he was already an adult, but he was still a handsome young man. After all, he is a prince general who has led troops in the army of King Uzi all the year round, and it is difficult to hide a sharp spirit that has been killed for many years in his gestures.

In her previous life, the last time she met the Uzi envoy in Daliang before her death, Li Yao did not allow her to meet her third brother. In the end, she managed to buy off the chamberlain and glanced at his back from a distance through the palace gate.

In my memory, the invincible general in the desert, injured, faltering, was left at the end of the envoy team, and even the horse had to be supported to ride.

At this time in this life, the third brother is still so high-spirited. It's just that because of the long journey, compared to the appearance of the younger days in his memory, the jaw has lost a lot of weight, and the ribs and bones are more distinct.

She couldn't help but let her eyes ache and burst into tears.

At this moment, Luo Xiao lowered his head and looked at his sister who was crying silently, wiped the blood in his palm on the arrow sleeve, and steadily hugged her into his arms one step away, and said softly:

"People who are about to get married, how can they still be so childish?"

His chin has a cyan stubble, which looks a little uninhibited, and he speaks so lightly at this time, as if he is not like an outlaw who escaped death.

Chaolu threw herself into his arms, his chest as wide and firm as before. She blinked and shook off the tears on her eyelashes, and whispered:

"The third brother used to make fun of me. How did you come here? ”

"I'm in a hurry, and if you don't come, I'll go into the city to find you first." Luo Xiao tore off his disguised beard and lips and beard, and leaned against the corner of the wall with a loud voice.

He didn't know which group of envoys he had mixed into, and ventured into the palace to find her.

Chaolu said softly:

"Third brother, the royal court is too dangerous, they are all arresting you."

"Nothing can stop me, I'll take you away. Your maid says she can't see you, but she makes me anxious...... ...... hissed," Luo Xiao covered one arm.

When he looked at the dew, he made a cut on his left arm, which was still oozing blood, staining the nocturnal clothes into a darker ink, and exclaimed:

"Third brother, are you injured?"

"I'm fine," Luo Xiao snorted softly, "There's a forbidden army miscellaneous, very powerful, chasing me all the way...... Don't say it, hurry up and get out of the palace. With that, he urged her to go outside.

When the two of them passed by Biyue, who was standing outside the door, Luo Xiao glanced at her, pulled out the dagger tucked on the leather belt, and was about to extinguish his mouth, when Chao Lu hurriedly grabbed his arm and said softly:

"Third brother, don't kill her, she's innocent." Viyue grew up with her since she was a child, and she is also a sister.

Luo Xiao shook the sharp knife in his hand, compared it above her head as if he were nothing, and threatened:

"Dare to reveal half a word......"

Viyue's face turned blue, and she didn't dare to cry out loud, and she was trembling there.

Chaolu looked at the noisy palace from afar in the court, and the thing that he couldn't let go of in his heart gradually overshadowed the joy of seeing the third brother again. She slowed down, kicked the stones on the ground, and asked:

"Third brother, where are you going to take me after you leave the city? Can I go to Northern Hungary with my third brother and explore the world? ”

Luo Xiao paused and slowly turned around.

The girl hung her head and refused to go any further. The face is gradually red, and the cheeks are reflected with a little light, lined with snow skin, delicate but not charming, very moving.

My sister is no longer the little girl who pestered him when she was a child, begging him to hold a horse and release a paper kite.

For some reason, looking at her like this, Luo Xiao's heart swelled with a sadness that he had never felt before.

"Chaolu, the third brother can't take you to Northern Hungary."

The third brother has always only called her by the nickname Dewdrop, and rarely called her "Chaolu" seriously.

She raised her head and looked at the third brother who had stopped walking on the side.

Luo Xiao didn't look at her, but looked at the mountains in the sky in the distance with heavy eyes.

"When my father was alive, he had already set a family business for you. After you get married, I will go to Northern Hungary alone. ”

She is the daughter of Princess Daliang, and she will not be allowed to go to Beihun with him. When he leans on the Northern Hun to gain a firm foothold, he can come back to protect his dewdrops.

Chao Lu was stunned, turned his head and left, brushed his sleeves and said:

"Family? How can there be a family affair...... I'm not going to get married. ”

In her previous life, she had never heard that her father had set a family affair for her, so why are many things different in this life.

"Stupid." Luo Xiao smiled, chased after her, and stroked her scattered sideburns, "How can the girl's family not marry?" ”

Chaolu was angry, and she didn't know how to clarify it with him, and when the two were at a stalemate, she was suddenly slammed to the other side by Luo Xiao, who was walking quickly:

"Be careful!"

In an instant, a sharp arrow passed by.

He took a step towards Lu and looked back, only to see that Luo Xiao's shoulder was pierced by a sharp blade that flew quickly, and the cracked silk spread out, revealing his strong arms.

"Third brother!"

"It's just a small wound." Luo Xiao knelt on the ground and covered the bleeding wound on his right shoulder. In the end, it was a general who had fought for many years, his face was calm, and he said, "It's that miscellaneous person who is chasing after him." ”

The sound of a halberd came from afar, as if it was coming towards her palace.

It is certain that the third brother's whereabouts cannot be discovered by Luo Sumi's people.

Chao Lu stepped forward to help Luo Xiao, and hurriedly walked to the inside of the dormitory, and as soon as he closed the door, he heard someone outside ask Biyue:

"Did you see an assassin in black?"

Biyue didn't answer for a long time, and the man shouted:

"Search for me!"

Chaolu heard the voice and her heart moved. She pushed the injured Luo Xiao to the couch, trying to cover him with several layers of curtains and a few thin beds. However, he was too tall, covering his head and showing his feet.

Luo Xiao was sunk in the soft quilt, and a girlish fragrance rushed to the tip of his nose. His face sank, his heart felt inappropriate, and as soon as he wanted to get up, the armor soldiers outside had already broken through the door.

The girl's slender figure stood in front of him, and she rebuked the comer:

"My dormitory, you dare to trespass?"

Dozens of armor soldiers gathered a few steps in front of her, ready to move. Suddenly heard a voice behind me:

"Get out of the way!"

Zou Yun, who was dressed in red and silver armor, appeared from among the heavily armored soldiers, arched his hand and said:

"Your Highness is frightened!"

Chaolu expected it to be him. There are not many people in the world who can hurt her third brother.

She pulled down the curtain and looked at the young man with his head bowed with a smile:

"It's General Zou. Long time no see. ”

Since the fire started that day, Zou Yun seemed to avoid her, and he didn't often come to her palace to show up.

It is said that recently, the envoys and monks of various countries in the Western Regions have come to the court, and the army inside and outside the royal court is forbidden to be deployed, and he must not come over.

The actual reason, she knows.

"The courtier's capital offense. There were Assassins in the palace, and traces of Assassin blood were found outside His Highness's palace. Please ask His Royal Highness's brigadier to enter and investigate to ensure His Highness's safety. He didn't dare to look at her, only lowered his head.

"Oh? Assassin? I didn't see it. Chaolu slowly got up, swept a crow cloud of black hair behind his back, and walked to his side. The cuffs intentionally or unintentionally brushed his arm hanging by his side, and quickly turned away and sat back on the couch, "I'm going to rest, do you still want to check?" ”

Everyone looked at the sky that had just sunset, and stood still, silent.

Zou Yun hung his head, only the hilt of the knife swaying back from his waist in his eyes, but the tip of his nose smelled a faint fragrance, which was entwined and went to people's hearts.

The princess's boudoir, how dare you peep? He'd only seen it from afar, never so close.

"General Zou, you let the others retreat first." A pleasant voice floated over, and through a layer of tulle curtains, there was a hint of hazy air, "I only allow you to check." ”

The girl hooked her fingers slightly, as if to invite him into the account.

Zou Yun stiffened, and whispered like a ghost:

"All down."

As if they had been granted amnesty, the soldiers retreated outside in a daze, and closed the door of the temple for the two of them.

Zou Yun took a step forward and stood a few steps away from the couch, only to be brushed by her under the sleeve of the arrow, which was still tingling, and the tiger's pulse was beating wildly.

He was about to open his mouth to say something, but he saw a patch of snow in front of him.

"General Zou, how do you want to check?"

The girl slowly faded her garnet-colored coat before his eyes, and wore only a plain silk robe. The beautiful face is shy and timid, and the delicate figure is looming.

The two decisive warriors, one hiding on the couch and the other standing in front of the couch, invariably turned their faces away at this time, holding their breath, helpless.

Inappropriate. This is extremely inappropriate! The two of them read in their hearts.

"Your Highness didn't see the assassin here, the minister, the minister will retire......" Zou Yun's face turned red, like a fire.

As he turned to stride away, he heard a muffled grunt behind him.

"Who's there?" Zou Yun has always been keen, turned his head quickly, and pulled out his waist knife at once.

The tip of the knife pierced through the heavy curtains and lifted it into the tent.

The thin jacket was scattered, and out of it rolled out a man in black who was five big and three thick.

He also had a red complexion and a rough voice, no different from him at this time.

The two looked at each other, and Zou Yun recognized the assassin's face at this time, his eyes widened, and he said:

"Three, His Royal Highness the Third Prince? ……”

Before the words fell, Luo Xiao had already turned over and pounced, his momentum was very fast, he took out a dagger and stabbed straight at Zou Yun's face.

Zou Yun was suddenly attacked, and he was almost unable to parry, only to feel that the tip of the knife that was still dripping blood was approaching his eyes inch by inch.

Luo Xiao is going to gouge out his eyes.

"Third brother!" Chaolu, who was stunned on the side, came back to his senses and hurriedly broke away the two who were fighting on the felt carpet.

"You, put on my clothes!" Luo Xiao had a cold face, glanced at Chaolu viciously, and soon looked away, and continued to aim the dagger at Zou Yun.

Chao Lu put on his coat, and Zou Yun, who was restrained by Luo Xiao but didn't dare to fight back, rushed outside, and finally persuaded the two to retreat.

Luo Xiao was furious, hateful and anxious, and said:

"You are a woman, you can only give your husband in this body and this tent......" He suddenly couldn't speak, and he didn't get angry, but only smashed his fist on the ground.

"But the third brother didn't ...... in my account just now," Chaolu pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice.

"I can't, not anyone! Do you want the innocence of your daughter's family? Luo Xiao's knife-like chin line suddenly turned red, he suddenly thought of something, twisted his thick eyebrows, and said, "But there are other men who make you like this, like this, so ......."

Chaolu couldn't help but think that a few days ago, she and Luo Xiang, who was ill, were also so hidden.

On the second day, Luo Xiang came to his senses, and he was flogged and covered in blood, and then he looked at her and stopped talking.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, just repeatedly kicked her out of the Buddha hall.

Is he also for her innocence?

Chaolu's fingers casually hooked his hair, pouted and stomped his feet:

"Hmph, he won't."

"Who is he?" Luo Xiao was startled, alert, and suddenly got up and grabbed her and asked, "Wouldn't it be that Buddha?" I knew he wasn't at ease! ”

Luo Xiao fled before, but he didn't worry about this baby sister, for fear that she would be tortured by the new king in the royal court. As soon as I entered the palace today, I inquired about her current situation, but what I heard was some rumors, all of which were unbearable rumors about the princess and the Buddha. In a fit of rage, he killed a few palace people who chewed the root of his tongue, and only then was his whereabouts discovered.

"Dewdrop, what's wrong with you, monk?"

Seeing that Chaolu was delicate and red, he hung his head and didn't answer, as if he had acquiesced to something, Luo Xiao couldn't help but be angry, and gritted his teeth and "creaked".

He jumped up, drew his sword suddenly, rushed out of the hall, and said hatefully:

"He smeared your innocence, see if I don't kill him with a knife today!"
