There are always humans who pursue me [system]

No, this team is not the only one, there is another team.

Although Ling Jiu was sitting on the tree without moving, he subconsciously adjusted his hearing system up, and all the breath, heartbeat and fallen leaves spring within a thousand kilometers fell into his ears in the next moment.The rustling movement in the depths of the dense forest was as clear as it was beside him, its movement speed was no less than that of a galloping horse, and it was subtle and subtle, like a wild beast lurking and hunting at night.

The sun was sinking lower and lower, and night was coming.

The galloping team has appeared in Zero Nine's field of vision from far to near. They are all dressed in brown clothes with narrow sleeves and dark red girdles. They look like guards, and their riding postures are also well-trained. , distributed in a formation of six on the left and twelve on the front and twelve on the front and back, tightly guarding the low-key carriage in the middle.Perhaps the dim light of the sky affected the vision, the speed of the carriage slowed down when it was about to approach [-], and one of the guards asked softly inside the carriage.

"It's been a long day's journey, does Your Highness want to rest for a while?"

The first response to him was a low cough, which gradually subsided after a while, and then asked without answering: "...How long will it take to reach Jiangcheng?"

This male voice sounded completely different from the dull and depressing cough. It was not only elegant and pleasant to hear, but also unusually warm and gentle, like the warm sun in the morning.The guard immediately replied: "We have already arrived at the border of Jiangcheng. After passing through this forest, we will be Jiangcheng. It's just that it's dark and the road is muddy. I'm afraid it will take an hour or two before we can enter the city."

The team of 'predators' lurking in the dark gradually stopped moving after the guard's voice, so in Ling Jiu's ears, the surroundings suddenly became very quiet, and the birds and insects in the forest also disappeared inexplicably, like a storm The brief peace before.But Ling Jiu still sat on the tree expressionlessly, watching the sunset in the sky completely recede to the foot of the mountain, and the whole forest was swallowed up by darkness, so he moved his hands and feet, ready to jump off the tree and go back.

However, three things happened in sequence at the moment he jumped off.

First, the people in the carriage lifted the car curtain in order to check the sky and terrain, and then there was a very sharp sound of breaking through the air.More than a dozen arrows shot out of the sky and struck the carriage like lightning. At the same time, the third generation notified Zero Jiu that the host had issued a third mission to it.

The content of the third task is to require the artificial man to provide rescue and assistance to human beings as much as possible, and add a rule that the artificial man must not injure human life unless it encounters danger or attack.The third generation then dutifully reminded Ling Jiu that there seemed to be someone in need of assistance in the distance, so Ling Jiu, who was about to turn around and leave, paused and looked at the attacked carriage again.

It was obviously an ambush and interception, and the interception had officially begun.

The guards pulled out their knives with the fastest reaction and tried their best to split the chaotic arrows, but there were too many and the incident happened suddenly. Even though their martial ranks were not low, many people were still injured by arrows.There are more than a dozen men in black leaping out from their hiding places after the arrow rain, and surrounded them with long swords in their hands. The killer's policy has always been to make quick decisions, so in the blink of an eye, the sharp sword The air has left deep and penetrating marks on the outer wall of the carriage.

Under the relentless and dense attack, the carriage finally cracked with a loud bang, revealing a tall and thin figure in a dark blue robe inside the carriage.The attack of the black-clothed killer suddenly became more ruthless and denser, breaking a gap in the protective circle of the guards, and in the next second, a long sword stabbed at the figure who was still coughing.

"Your Highness, be careful!!"

The guard shouted in shock and tried to fly to block it, but it was of no avail, because the sword light had landed before he arrived, and was about to stab Qin Zhenghan in the heart in a blink of an eye.This sword used all the strength of the swordsman, the speed was like lightning, and the moves were sharp and exquisite. None of the guards or killers present thought that anyone could keep the Seventh Prince safe and sound, and the swordsman was even satisfied Foresaw the scene of the other party's death on the spot.

But someone shattered this idea in an unbelievable way.

A swipe of white clothes came silently like a fleeting shadow, and at the same time, something cut into the gap between the sword and Qin Zhenghan's chest, which was only two centimeters away. After taking a closer look, he realized that what stood in front of the sword was actually a hand, a hand so slender and perfect that it was only suitable for playing the piano and painting, and even enough to fascinate people.The sharp sword point pierced the palm of the hand, but it could only pierce a thin layer of skin, and it was difficult to move forward. The latter only moved lightly, and almost didn't use much force to flick the originally imposing sword Going back, it was broken into three pieces, and one piece fell to the ground with a shocking sound.

At the same time, the boy in white raised his other hand and gave a strong push to the killer. His wide sleeves swelled rapidly with his movement, and his long black hair fluttered in the night wind, like a bird spreading its wings. Elegant wings.Immediately, the killer was pushed away by the huge momentum without any resistance, hitting the tree trunk and spitting out a mouthful of blood, obviously suffering from internal injuries.

For a while, everything was silent, only the big tree that had been hit shook off a dead leaf, which slowly floated down like a dead butterfly.

The killers instantly realized that they were no match for the young man at all, so all they had in mind was escape, but they stayed where they were as if facing a formidable enemy, not daring to make rash moves.And the boy didn't move again, nor did he say a word, he just frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.His face was as perfect as his hands, and only half of his side profile was so touching, like a bright summer flower, but it was as cold as a blade, without any human emotion.

In fact, Zero Nine was just thinking about electricity—he didn't expect that the 'speed-up X12' would consume so much power, and it was finally fully charged to 80.00% with the help of solar energy, but the power dropped to [-]%. Only then can he make up for it, but in the past two days, he has controlled his appetite to three bowls for task two.

"I made a detailed comparison of the various elements contained in the food," the third generation shared its latest research with Zero Nine, "and found that the energy extracted from lactose is no less than fiber, so you can drink milk, I think drinking a big pot of milk is much more normal than swallowing a big pot of rice.”

The man in black finally couldn't help but set out to retreat in this oppressive silence, and was staggeringly fast because he was worried that he would be chased and killed by the teenager, but he didn't know that it was impossible for Ling Jiu to chase and kill anyone, even the people he saved Without even looking at him, he raised his foot to leave without saying a word.

"--and many more!"

Qin Zhenghan couldn't help shouting to Lingjiu anxiously, but Lingjiu, who still had a small amount of water mist in his head, responded after half a minute, turned around and looked at Qin Zhenghan with a pair of beautiful eyes in confusion, Also tilted his head.

This small movement of tilting his head made the young man look a little cute, and his bright black pupils also carried the childishness of a child, which could directly hit people's hearts.Qin Zhenghan just kept looking at the young man until he coughed again after a while.

Maybe it was because he spoke too hastily just now or because he was injured by the sword energy, he coughed badly for a moment, bent his waist slightly, and his whole body was trembling constantly.There was an indescribable weirdness in the painful cough, as if a hand was pinching the heart and throat, which made people feel inexplicably cold.Ling Jiu thought of the weak personality among the 36 types of personality, which is characterized by being thin, sick, and poor in physical fitness, and the other party fits it very well at first glance.

So the investigation object No. 3 was locked in this way, and then Zero Nine used electronic eyes to scan and evaluate Qin Zhenghan.

“叮，该生物种族：古时期地球人。骨龄：24岁。身高：1.8米八。友善值：0。战斗力：1.5。好感度：35。”

Ling Jiu couldn't help but tilted his head in confusion, - the opponent's combat power was as good as Xu Tiange's, but why Xu Tiange was so strong that he was fine with a slap from him, but the opponent coughed at every word?

The guard who carefully supported Qin Zhenghan was also a little confused, because he seemed to see a dark red circle around the edge of Qin Zhenghan's eyeballs when he was supporting him.

Evenly like a circle carefully drawn in a meticulous painting, but very light and light, making the guard wonder if he is dazzled, not to mention that coughing and sleepiness will make people's eyes red.

And Qin Zhenghan looked at Ling Jiu's hand after coughing, "Is your hand okay?"

Obviously his voice and expression were very gentle, and there was genuine concern, but Ling Jiu somehow felt that this voice was different from the one he had heard from a distance in the tree before.But he still spread his hand, showing the wound left by the sword tip to the other party, "...it's okay."

Qin Zhenghan looked down at the red mole-like wound on his palm, the dark red in his eyes deepened faintly where no one could see.When he looked up again, his expression was as elegant as before, even with a smile like a spring breeze blowing flowers, "It's fine."

The moonlight gradually came out, shining through the clouds and treetops, and the man's smile was more dusty than the moonlight, "Thank you for saving me,——I dare to ask, but you are the legendary young master of the Ling family! ?”

Boom, boom.

The watchman struck the gong twice.

It was the second watch now, and Ling Jiu hadn't come back so late, Qin Lie couldn't help but feel worried and want to find someone.Xu Tiange, who came to the palace uninvited for dinner for two consecutive days, stood up without saying a word, and went straight out the door.

He first searched the streets in the south of the city as quickly as possible, and then turned to the north of the city.The night market in the north of the city is a major feature of Jiangcheng. It only opens every three days. Today is the day when the market opens. Beautiful lanterns are hung at the door of every shop, which looks like a bright long dragon.

As a martial saint, Xu Tiange's eyesight is naturally much better than that of ordinary people, and he can extend his sight to far away places.So he stood on the low wall and looked into the distance, and indeed he vaguely saw Ling Jiu's back in white from the bustling crowd in the distance.

Immediately without thinking about it, he raised his feet and ran towards the opponent, and because he was afraid that the opponent would leave before he arrived, he drove faster and faster, even ignoring the surrounding road conditions, and turned two corners at a speed that could be called rampage.

It's a pity that what Xu Tiange saw from the back in white was just a boy with a similar figure, but Lingjiu was indeed nearby, leading Qin Zhenghan and the guards to take a shortcut to the palace, and when Xu Tiange turned the third corner, it was very coincidental collided with it head-on.

With this collision, Ling Jiu slammed into Xu Tiange's chest firmly with a bang, and even touched Xu Tiange's chin with his forehead.

Although Xu Tiange walked fast, and Ling Jiu, who wanted to rush back to have dinner, also walked fast, but with the strength of the two of them, no matter how fast they were, they could escape.It's just that Lingjiu's left hand side is a wall with an old man pushing a small truck on his right hand side, and behind him is the sick Seventh Prince. In comparison, Xu Tiange still thinks Xu Tiange is the most resistant.And Xu Tiange didn't know what was going on, he froze in a daze when he saw Ling Jiu, and didn't know how to hide at all.

To passers-by, the bump pain must be the slender boy, but they saw the man who was a head taller and twice as strong as the boy was knocked back two or three steps, and finally sat down on the ground unable to hold on.The old man pushing the cart immediately shook his head, expressing that even he didn't bother to make this kind of porcelain.

Xu Tiange, who was sitting down on the ground, was still in a daze, just staring at Ling Jiu with a pair of eyes, without even blinking.Ling Jiu walked towards him subconsciously, and stretched out his hand.

Only then did Xu Tiange come back to his senses a little bit, and then he grasped that hand, and finally stood up slowly, but in the process, his eyes still looked at Ling Jiu without moving away.Ling Jiu only felt that the body temperature on his hands was very high, scalding like a fever, and it seemed that the heat still remained on the skin after he let go.

Little did he know that Xu Tiange's heart was burning hot.

It's a pity that Ling Jiu thought that he was in a hurry to find someone else, and was thinking about going back to the palace for dinner, so he bid farewell to him and left the next moment.So it wasn't until Ling Jiu's back disappeared that Xu Tiange was completely freed from his daze, and turned his eyes to his hand.His fingertips began to tremble with excitement, and the roots of his ears were slightly red.

This, this, this, this hand, never wash it again!That piece of chin that touched his forehead never shaved again!And this robe that has been bumped to the full, it needs to be put into a box and locked up! !

Boom, boom, boom.

The sound of Xu Tiange's heartbeat mixed with the beating of the watchman's gong, and when Ling Jiu rushed back to Anping Palace, it was already the third watch.Let alone dinner at this point, even the servants had gone to bed, and King Anping, who was about to fall asleep, heard the report from his personal guards that the Seventh Prince had arrived suddenly, so he got out of bed again and went to the hall to pick him up.

Although the weight of the prince is not as great as that of the prince, Qin Zhenghan is serving the emperor's order, representing the emperor, and King Anping will respectfully greet him no matter how late it is.

"Uncle, you don't need to be too polite," Qin Zhenghan immediately said to Wang Anping: "It's too late today, so don't disturb more people, why don't you rest early, and talk about things tomorrow."

King Anping also knew that the Seventh Prince had been ill for a long time, and saw that his face was pale, as if he would fall down at any time, so he nodded, "Well, the Seventh Prince must be exhausted after traveling for days, and the west courtyard of the mansion is warm, clean and spacious. , how about living there first?"

"Okay, please trouble the emperor."

The Seventh Prince seemed to be courteous and courteous to everyone, even his brows and eyes were gentle, and he had a beautiful smile, as clear and peaceful as flowing clouds, which made people feel peaceful and moved along with him.

But after he stepped into the room and waved away the guards, the expression on his face completely changed.

It even seemed like a different person, or the devil hiding in the dark showed his true face, and the dormant beast showed its fangs.The temperament around him is as cold as frost, with the ambition and cruelty of a superior, his eyes are like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, it will choke all people or things in sight, making him feel the pain of being in a desperate situation. Fear and pain.

But at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "...I saw him."

As if he wasn't afraid of the heat, he flicked the dancing candle with his hands, and said, "It's a pity you won't be able to see it until daytime."

After a while, there was another voice speaking, and this was the genuinely gentle and warm voice that Ling Jiu heard from a distance like a ten-mile spring breeze when he was sitting on the tree: "What did you see?"

"...I see my light."

He pressed the wick, and then let go of his hand. Thousands of strands of candlelight shot out through his fingers, reflecting on his dark red pupils, like blood-stained obsidian refracting the ghostly fire in hell.

"Have you ever felt this way?" His voice began to tremble, slow and fast like nervousness, calm and crazy, "When he suddenly appeared next to me, he put his hand on my chest, as if opening It was like a switch, there was unprecedented joy and joy growing in an unknown place. At the moment when I met his eyes, I even felt that I was hit by something, as if the sword was not blocked by him, but pierced through It pierced through my heart, making me unable to breathe, and I can only make that damned endless low cough like you, and my whole body is shaking..."

He suddenly stopped, and took a deep breath nervously, like a god of death sniffing the fragrance of blood, and his tone was like a lyrical aria: "This is a catastrophe,—some people survive from a desperate situation, but I am doomed."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Ling Xiaojiu is counting several survey objects he has collected so far.

"Number 1 is Qin Lie. The characteristic of this giving personality is generosity and gentleness."

Qin Lie, who was born with a violent temper and was very stingy with his emotions: ...

"No. 2 is Duan Mosheng. This indifferent personality is characterized by being quiet and indifferent, and indifferent to everything."

After adulthood, Duan Mosheng, who has everything in sight and has a fiery attitude towards him: ...

"Wait first," Qin Zhenghan interrupted Lingjiu unbearably: "Why do you keep talking about other men, what am I yours?"

"You are little 3," Ling Jiu replied seriously: "The characteristic of this personality is that his physical fitness is not good, and..."

"Little Saner?" Qin Zhenghan gave a dangerous and charming chuckle, "My dear, I'll let you see if I can do it tonight."
