It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

In the blink of an eye, the humming blade pointed directly at the back of Shen Jinghe's heart with Li Feng, and it was about to pierce into the robe.

The man in black was overjoyed, but the next moment, he couldn't prevent the man in front of him from sliding away sideways as if he had eyes behind his back, and sprinkled some unknown powder on his side with his left hand.

Shen Jinghe had been on guard for a long time, when he felt the sword intent looming, he took a step to the left and turned around to avoid it.The wind traces aroused by the sword blowed away the black hair on both sides of him, but he took the opportunity to forcefully sprinkle the dust that had been held in the palm of his hand on the face of the person behind him.

The man in black had coarse dust in his eyes, he roared in pain, and stabbed at the sound with a sword indiscriminately.Shen Jinghe had already dodged to avoid the tip of the sword, the thin blade slashed behind his knee, clenched his fist and hit his forehead and temple hard with his protruding knuckles.The man in black groaned, staggered and hit the wall, and fell limp like mud with his eyes closed.

After the person in front was dealt with, the remaining two people were more cautious towards him.They glanced at each other, quickly set up their positions, and approached cautiously from left to right.Shen Jinghe flicked his aching right hand, smiled provocatively at them, and purposely stretched out a finger to lightly hook in disdain.

The person on the right was irritated by his mocking and contemptuous attitude, ignored the frequent winks from his companions, clenched the sword in his hand, and stabbed at him vigorously.It was this moment that Shen Jinghe was waiting for. He knew that his strength was insufficient, so he didn't fight him head on, but just made a false move to go around his back, and slammed his elbow into the soft place under his ribs.The man's tendons were numb, and the hand holding the sword trembled unsteadily. Shen Jinghe took the opportunity to slap the long sword off with a heavy blow on his wrist, and quickly crossed the thin blade to finish him off.

The last person saw that his two companions were dealt with by the weak-looking sixth prince in three or two moves, and the battle in the distance seemed to have come to an end, his eyes flickered.He swallowed his saliva, tilted his long sword and ran towards Shen Jinghe.When he rushed in front of him in a few steps, he used all his internal strength and stabbed at Shen Jinghe's shoulder, the sword light was as swift and fierce as lightning.Shen Jinghe leaned back, and he took advantage of the situation to quickly change his moves, and slashed at his waist again. When the sword was halfway, it suddenly turned around, and using a trick, he used his strength to run towards the wall on the right, unexpectedly To take the opportunity to escape.

Shen Jinghe straightened up, but he wasn't in a hurry to chase after him, he just smiled and called calmly.

"Liang Yan!"

The man in black had just climbed up the wall with his hands when a short dagger flew towards him screaming like a shooting star. The silver light pierced the night and quickly pierced his right wrist.The man in black screamed in pain, clutching his pierced wrist, which was bleeding profusely, and wailed and fell down. He fell heavily on the ground among the broken tiles and smoke, rolling and struggling.

After finishing the last person smoothly, Liang Yan grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the corpse lying on the ground. He pressed his knuckles and stepped over with a cold face.

When he passed by Shen Jinghe's side, his aura, which was as cold as an unsheathed sharp sword, subsided a little bit. Looking at him with a slight smile, he seemed a little helpless, "You really believe that I can stop him?"

Shen Jinghe also frowned, and reached out to wipe off the dust on his shoulders, "Why don't you say that we cooperate with each other tacitly and have a good understanding?"

Liang Yan rubbed his head, didn't say much, strode up to the rolling and howling man in black, squatted down and looked at him coldly.

"If you want to kill or cut as you please, give me a good time!" The black-clothed man's finger joints were dyed bright red by the continuous gushing blood, his whole body was trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke forcefully. .

Seeing his trembling appearance, Shen Jinghe knew that he was not really as tough as he said.At the moment, he just chuckled, and slowly wiped the thin blade clean, his eyes were stingy, "Leave a living."

Liang Yan naturally knew what he meant, and sternly curled the corners of his lips at the man in black on the ground, pulled off his mask, strangled him by the throat, and slowly lifted him from the ground.The throat of the man in black was restrained, and his breathing suddenly became difficult. His other intact hand scratched the back of Liang Yan's hand feebly, making a "ho ho" sound of gasping.

Seeing that his face had turned purple and his eyes were white, as if he was going to faint in the next second, Liang Yan let go of his hand and let him fall back to the ground again.The man in black regained his freedom, and immediately bowed his body, covered his neck, coughed and gasped, and greedily breathed in the fresh air.

Liang Yan looked at him condescendingly, without any emotion in his tone, "If you want to live, you must exchange it with something worthy of our forgiveness."

The man in black had just walked through the gate of hell, and now he was looking at Liang Yan with fear on his face.It wasn't until that moment just now that he realized that the young man in front of him was really a person who survived by stepping on blood, and the evil spirit he had honed in the fierce battle of life and death for many years was by no means in vain.There was a flash of struggle in his eyes, and the expression on his face was unpredictable, as if he was still hesitating and suffering.

But Liang Yan didn't have the patience to wait for him to make a decision slowly. He lightly held the handle of the dagger with one hand, and pushed it deeper and deeper into the wound on the man in black's hand inch by inch.The dagger blade cut through the muscles, bringing out more blood dripping violently, and the mouth of the black-clothed man let out a shriller scream, and tremblingly begged for forgiveness.

"I say! I say! We were sent by..."

With a muffled sound of "poof", a sharp short arrow was shot from the sky from the shadow of Chuo Chuo's wall, and it precisely pierced deep into the neck of the man in black.His changed voice seemed to be cut off and suffocated in the same place. He spit out a stream of blood foam, and then fell heavily with his eyes wide open.

"Who?"

Liang Yan's eyes sharpened, and he immediately wanted to cheer up and rush to where the arrow came from.In the shadow, several sharp arrows that also shone with silver light flew one after another, pointing directly at the place where Shen Jinghe was, as if they were going to pierce into his body in the next second.

Liang Yan quickly pulled Shen Jinghe past him with one hand and threw him to the ground. He stood in front of him himself, and with the other hand, he grabbed the long sword scattered on the ground and flew to block short arrows.The arrow body crackled and scattered all over the ground. After a while, the sound of people whistling and fleeing in the distance was finally heard, but Liang Yan's right hand holding the sword froze almost invisible, and then put it down as if nothing had happened, and looked around cautiously.

"...Are you alright?" Shen Jinghe quickly straightened up, grabbed Liang Yan's sleeve, with concern and worry on his face.

Liang Yan touched his head again, and gave him a comforting smile, "I'm fine."

He turned around and looked at the man in black who was dying with regret, and gradually frowned.

Shen Jinghe looked at the messy corpses lying on the ground, and rubbed between his brows wearily.He looked around, and suddenly his eyes fell on the arrow in the throat of the man in black. His eyes froze, and he didn't dislike the blood stains, so he stretched out his hand and gently pulled it out.

"This short arrow..." He checked the body of the arrow over and over in the moonlight, with a solemn expression, "The material of the arrow tip seems to be a bit special."

Liang Yan's expression also became serious when he heard the words, he stretched out his hand to take the arrow, and tapped the tip of the arrow twice with his fingertips.After hearing two dull and thick sounds, he swiped heavily at it again with the short dagger.Silver light splashed everywhere, but there was no scratch on the tip of the arrow.

"This is the cold iron unique to Weidi. It is indestructible, but the amount of refinement every year is very small." Liang Yan pondered for a while, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Among them, all the rest were sent to one place to be cast into weapons."

The two of them looked at each other and said a name at the same time.

"Jianzhang camp."

Shen Jinghe was silent for a while, then frowned, with a hint of mockery on his face.

"Jianzhangying? Tonight's assassination is indeed in line with my elder brother's reckless temperament." He paused, always feeling as if something was missed by him, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that trace of doubt quickly disappeared. In his mind, he couldn't catch it.

He thought for a while, but still couldn't sort out his thoughts. He put one hand on Liang Yan's right arm and wanted to say something.However, half of Liang Yan's arm stiffened for a moment. Although he relaxed quickly, Shen Jinghe saw the flash of forbearance on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Jinghe suddenly had a bad feeling, he raised his hand to pull Liang Yan's shoulder, but his eyes widened in astonishment because of the faint blood stain on his hand, "You Injured? You...why didn't you tell me earlier! "

Impatient and panicked, he quickly straightened up, trembling his hands slightly to help Liang Yan up, but he was afraid of touching his wound again, and was so anxious that he was at a loss.

Seeing his worried face, Liang Yan's eyes instantly softened, he waved his hands and stood up on his own, his voice was still steady and powerful.

"It's just a small injury, and I don't want to worry you."

"Don't want to worry me? You won't worry me like this!" Shen Jinghe pressed his lips tightly, looked down at his right arm that was cut by the short arrow, and felt a pain in his heart, "... ... Forget it, I'll settle the bill with you later. Let's go back to the General's Mansion to heal your wounds."

Liang Yan was really surprised this time, "Back to the General's Mansion? Are you... along with me?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Jinghe suddenly raised his head and looked at his face confidently, "Now on the way back to the mansion, there may be many assassins lurking in secret. What's more, if I let you go back to the mansion alone , who knows if you will take good care of your injury?"

Liang Yan looked at him helplessly, and gently held him with his uninjured left hand, "Got it... let's go."

Shen Jinghe walked a few steps ahead with his head lowered sullenly, as if he was still worried about his injury.Liang Yan looked at his back while walking, and after a long time, smiled slightly.

"Actually, you didn't have to say so many things just now... I am happier than anyone else if you are willing to come to my house."

Shen Jinghe didn't look back, and he didn't know if he heard clearly.It's just that the hand holding Liang Yan clenched a little more for no reason.

……

General's Mansion, inner room.

The candlelight danced with warm yellow light on the table, reflecting the shadows of the trees projected on the window lattice beside them.Chizhi cried intermittently in the depths of the long grass, and when the moonlight came, a piece of mercury-like flowers fell from the window sill.

Shen Jinghe has already become a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion in the past four years, and now he is even more familiar with searching for golden sore medicine on the ancient shelf.He picked up a small white jade porcelain vase, brought clean gauze, and sat back beside Liang Yan.

The gold wound medicine in this porcelain bottle is the most commonly used one in the military camp. Although it will cause a burning sensation when it touches the wound, it can make the wound heal the fastest, and it is not easy to get inflamed and hot.

Liang Yan had already washed the wound clean, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he quietly looked up at him busy.Seeing Shen Jinghe lowering his head and concentrating on trimming the gauze, he suddenly smiled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"...It's all hurt like this, why are you still laughing?" Shen Jinghe put down the gauze, looked at the deep wound on his arm with distress, and pursed the corners of his lips.

"I see you busy around for me under the candlelight, and I wish I could get some more scars on your hands." Liang Yan stared at him intently, his eyes filled with his reflection.

Shen Jinghe looked away a little unnaturally, and after a while, he muttered, "... talking nonsense."

Whether he was talking nonsense, Liang Yan naturally knew better than anyone else.He didn't say any more, just moved his injured right arm forward again, turned his head and looked at Shen Jinghe without blinking.

Shen Jinghe pulled out the stopper from the bottle mouth, fixed Liang Yan's arm with one hand, and hung the bottle above the wound with the other hand.After waiting for a while, the powder was still not sprinkled, and the hand holding the bottle was even trembling slightly.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yan asked softly.

Shen Jinghe was silent for a long time before murmuring a word from his mouth.

"……pain."

He raised his head and looked at Liang Yan with a downcast expression, his tone was so low that he could hardly hear it,

"I'm afraid you will hurt."

Liang Yan's breath suddenly suffocated, and he felt as if his heart had been hit lightly, and an indescribable soreness and throbbing intertwined and spread across his chest.His eyes were so soft that they seemed to drip water, and the decisiveness that was all over his body just now turned into pity for the person in front of him.

He gently embraced Shen Jinghe with his left hand, let his head rest on his chest, combed his black hair carefully, lowered his eyes to look at him, "My silly crane..."

He sighed almost inaudibly.

"It won't hurt. Compared with the previous confrontation on the battlefield, this little injury is nothing." He stepped back a little, held Shen Jinghe's face in one hand, and carefully looked at every inch of his eyebrows, " If you're worried that you won't be able to do it yourself, why don't you let me do it?"

Shen Jinghe looked at the scar on his arm, as if he had made up his mind, he straightened up and looked up at him.

"Let me do it... You suffered this injury because of me. Although I didn't have the ability to protect you at that time, it's just a trivial matter of taking medicine now, how can I shirk it?"

He carefully brought the porcelain bottle close to the wound again, but this time his hands were firm and did not tremble at all.

Shen Jinghe held his breath, and carefully shook off the brown-yellow medicinal powder.A thin layer of the medicine powder fell on the wound, and the sore that was still oozing blood was immediately sealed by the melted golden sore medicine, and no more bleeding.

As expected, Liang Yan sat upright without moving, as if he couldn't feel the pain from the medicine powder touching his skin.

"Okay." Shen Jinghe breathed out, wrapped the cut gauze thinly around the wound and tied it, and helped him roll down his sleeves.

Liang Yan held him with the other hand, recalling the adventure just now, his face became a little dignified, "You will stay in the mansion for the past few days, so don't go out if you don't have anything to do. You can do it under the eyes of the emperor in the capital." With such incidents happening, I think the First Prince is becoming more and more daring."

"Boldness..." Shen Jinghe repeated these two words unconsciously, suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression changed suddenly, he turned around and looked at Liang Yan excitedly, "Yes, that's right, it's boldness The actions of that group of people tonight were flawless, but they were simply too bold!"

"You mean..." Liang Yan looked at him uncertainly.

Shen Jinghe seemed to have figured out some hurdles, his face suddenly relaxed, and he returned to his usual composure, "The group of assassins who assassinated us tonight never revealed their identities at all. If it wasn't for the last We have no way of knowing their identities for the few short arrows that were shot when they were killed."

"If someone else picks up those arrows, there is no way to see anything wrong with them. Only one of us is in the barracks, and we know the weapons and arsenals well, and the other is thoughtful, and we will definitely check the leftovers on the scene carefully. other clues.” He paused, then said again, “The problem of the short arrow itself is extremely hidden, and we discovered it through our own inspection. Therefore, according to common sense, we must firmly believe in this hard-won clue. .But...does it have to be true?"

Liang Yan's eyes darkened a little, "If someone with kung fu can sneak into Jianzhangying's armory, or there are people with evil intentions hidden in Jianzhangying, then steal a few short arrows made of cold iron , as long as the number is not large, it will be difficult for someone to find it for a while."

"That's right." There was a trace of coldness in Shen Jinghe's eyes, "I don't think the arrow was used to deal with us. First, it was to silence people. Second... it was to show us the way."

"Pointing to a, totally wrong path."

The light and shadow of the candles swayed left and right in the night wind, the room was silent for a while, and there was the dull sound of knuckles tapping on the table.

Shen Jinghe knocked on the table again and again, turned his head and casually looked at the Bogu shelf not far away, and said in a soft tone, "At the beginning, although I had a faint doubt in my heart, I believed too much that we dug it with our own hands. Given the clues, and the fact that the assassination is really reckless, I firmly believe that the matter was done by the First Prince."

"Until I said those two words - bold?" Liang Yan took over his words and said calmly.

"Exactly!" Shen Jinghe slapped the table with a smile, his eyes sparkling, "Don't you think they are acting too boldly? First, they took a lot of trouble to block up the frequent traffic in the capital with mounds of dirt. Dao, you deliberately chose to do it on the night of the Fourth Sister’s wedding, and deliberately told you that you can leave on your own, regardless of whether you will quickly report this matter to the court... Hmph, I’m afraid there won’t be any big disturbances Like."

Liang Yan also let out a cold snort, and narrowed his eyes unkindly, "Their attitude is as if they are going all out, and they just vow not to give up until they create a storm...It's really bold."

"That's right. In fact, we survived tonight, thanks to those mediocre black-clothed assassins." Shen Jinghe sighed, and said leisurely, "It's so easy to deal with them, I really thought I What kind of unborn martial arts genius."

Liang Yan glanced at him, but couldn't help but leaned forward and raised his eyebrows, "Are you questioning the level of this general's teaching?"

Shen Jinghe's face froze, he quickly restrained his expression, and looked back with a serious face, "Don't dare. If General Liang didn't teach me martial arts, I'm afraid you will have to hang a few more colors to protect me tonight. gone."

Only then did Liang Yan chuckle, sat back, and said vaguely: "Then I'll be happy too."

Shen Jinghe's face was reddish, and he only looked away, pretending not to hear, "Starting tomorrow, the real masters behind those assassins are probably looking forward to us having a good fight in front of His Majesty...you Say, shall I let him get what he wants?"

"...Are you really going to suppress this matter? No matter what happens tonight, if you report it to His Majesty, there will be more or less guards by your side." Liang Yan frowned and looked at him worriedly.

"Then let this group of guards sent to protect my safety sneak in a few other people's eyes and ears?" Shen Jinghe chuckled, and deliberately turned his head to throw a playful look at Liang Yan, "Isn't it because of our heroic and invincible people?" Is your General Liang protecting me?"

Liang Yan looked at his high-spirited appearance, and his expression moved slightly.After a long while, she still rubbed his head and smiled lowly against him.
