Thinking

Qi Sili had gone through life and death, and at this moment the vigilance in his heart was suddenly lifted. He didn't have a sword in his hand. Looking at the figure of the man, he knew that the man was not an ordinary master, and he couldn't beat him.

He immediately stepped back to prepare for the confrontation, and shouted: "Come..."

Before he could utter a call, the black shadow rushed to him, and he took the lead in striking Qi Si's throat.

Qi Si immediately stopped shouting, turned sideways, and then quickly punched, intending to hit the opponent's chest and abdomen.

Like a bat, the man withdrew his hands and volleyed sideways, and suddenly jumped behind Ji Si, who immediately spun low and turned around on the ground with a thin layer of snow, so that his back was not facing him.

This man moves too fast!

Qi Si concentrated all his attention on avoiding the attack, and had no time to distract himself from shouting, besides, the top of the Bafang Terrace was nearly ten feet above the ground, so even if he shouted, he might not be heard by the guards who were watching the night.

While he was thinking, the man had already bowed and rushed towards him.

Qi Si immediately tapped his toes, raised his knees and jumped, and missed the man in mid-air, turned around and saw the man tanned and coming to his side, and his feet were caught.

The man's speed was unbelievably fast, and his moves were extremely vicious. Qi Si raised his elbow and slammed at his throat, but the man didn't dodge, stretched out his hand and punched Qi Si in the chest, and Qi Si endured the blow. With one blow, the right hand also punched the man under the ribs, but the man sneered and took a step back.

Qi Si suddenly felt that his internal energy was drained, and the heart suffocation hit again, and he said to himself: "It's unlucky!"

He tried his best not to fall, bowed his head slightly and looked up at the man, but he saw through the moonlight that the man was the strange man of Great Liang at the palace banquet——Duji Hubu.

Qi Si felt that it was extremely absurd that this person followed out at the palace banquet and attacked him.

His heart throbbed violently in pain. On the high platform in the cold night, the air was icy cold, his limbs and bones were all numb, he couldn't even speak, and he tried his best not to fall down.

Duji Falbu seemed to see that Qi Si had no ability to resist, he walked towards Qi Si with strangely light steps, pinched Qi Si's neck, and pressed his index finger against Qi Si's jaw to force him to look up and meet his gaze.

Qi Si felt that Duji Falcon's hand on his neck was like a steel claw, and he raised his eyes to stare at him.

Duji Falcon approached Jisi, under the night, his face appeared to have extremely high cheekbones, distinct bones, vicious and deep eyes, a hooked nose, and a crazy and cruel expression, his eyes licked Jisi's face like the tongue of an evil spirit, The whole person looks like he crawled out of hell.

He smiled sinisterly: "It turns out that if you look like this, you will be killed sooner or later!"

The voice is hoarse and crazy.

Qi Si stared at Duji Fulbu, and suddenly realized that his cold eyes were very familiar.

While thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that day on the mountain road in Bianzhou, the night rain was like a waterfall, and the masked man in black holding a sword strangled his chin and looked at him with a vicious smile.

Duji Hubu is the one who robbed and killed the envoys!

It was he who almost killed himself and fed himself Zhu Yanshou's poison!

Qi Si was strangled by his neck, his heart was suffocated, almost suffocated, he struggled and said angrily: "Get lost!"

Suddenly, Duji Falcon shot like lightning, grabbed Qisi and dodged backwards, retreated to the edge of Bafangtai, and looked at the opposite side.

Qi Si laboriously looked back and saw that Xiao Zhi had just arrived on the Bafang Terrace, and the corners of his clothes were still swaying in the wind.

Xiao Zhi took out his sheath from the water in his hand, the light of his sword was as cold and solemn as snow, and his slender figure gathered strength, confronting Duji Falcon.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Zhi's expression was serious, his usual gentle aura faded away, his body was stern and murderous, his hands were cold and gleaming.

"Let go of him, or you won't live."

Xiao Zhi's voice was calm and cold.

Qi Si was about to shed tears, but he couldn't open his mouth. Zhu Yanshou's heart attack caused severe pain in his heart.

He was pinned on the edge of the Bafang platform by Duji Falcon's steely hand, and the cold wind on the edge of the high platform blew across his cheeks, and he could fall if he leaned over.

Duji Hubu didn't care about Xiao Zhi's warning, but pushed Qisi a few inches away.

The snow powder was lifted up, and then fell on the face and melted coldly.

Only Duji Falcon was holding on to Qisi's body, almost suspended in the air. He felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his pulse was like thousands of needles.

"Xiao Zhi, if I throw him down tonight and kill him, no one will know that you and I have been here."

Every word of Duji Fulbu is full of vicious and bewitching meaning.

Hearing the words, Qi Si noticed the unusual meaning in Duji Falcon's words, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhi in amazement, his heart twitched violently with severe pain.

Xiao Zhi said in a deep voice, "You are courting death."

Duji Falcon sneered a few times, his voice hoarse like a vulture in the wilderness: "Xiao Zhi, what is he? Have you forgotten who you are? Would you like me, an outsider, to help you remember?"

Qi Si tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at Xiao Zhi, the cold wind blew across his cheeks, like the cold blade of a sinking water sword.

"Do you really want to save him? His surname is Yu—do you want to think about it carefully?"

Duji Falcon added every word, every word was heartbreaking, with vicious provocation.

Qisi heard Duji Falcon's words clearly in his ears, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhi, the cold wind came from the edge of the high platform, he was in pain as if cut by a knife, and his eyes were blurred by tears.

——Qi Si saw Xiao Zhi's figure froze.

Then he really put down the hand holding Shenshuijian slowly, put away his attacking posture, and stood there silently looking at Qi Si and Duji Fulbu.

Will not……

why?

Xiao Zhi didn't answer Duji Falcon, holding the Shenshui sword silently.

This was the first time Qisi saw Xiao Zhi pull out of the sheath holding submerged water, his appearance was really heroic and majestic.

Duji Falcon's bewitching words corroded the mind like a bully: "You must be very happy to watch the prince of Jin fall to his death."

——Then Duji Falcon raised his hand, and Qisi was grabbed by his waist, his whole body was hanging outside Bafangtai, high in the air, Qisi had no strength, and his heart seemed to sink into the cold underwater.

The Bafang Terrace is about ten feet high, the outer bricks and stones are straight up and down, there is no leverage, I can't use my internal strength, I can't even use my hands and feet at this moment, if I fall, I will only die!

But Xiao Zhi still didn't move or speak.

Qi Si looked at him, Xiao Zhi's face was beautiful and clear under the moonlight, with complex expressions.

Xiao Zhi, why?

He didn't have the energy to speak.

Duji Falcon suddenly let go, and Qisi fell suddenly...

"Bang!" The fireworks on New Year's Eve blasted into the sky, blooming incomparably magnificent light in the sky of Changyu, and thousands of sparks scattered in all directions.

It seems that the cheers and laughter of thousands of households in Changyu City can be vaguely heard, and the world is full of joy.

Fireworks light up the sky, and the stars and the moon are gorgeous.

Qi Si opened his eyes wide and saw the stars shining brightly, while the wind on the side of his cheek whistled and whimpered.

The empty high sky behind him wrapped him coldly, and the earth grabbed him and fell.

Then came the figure of Xiao Zhi jumping down under the moonlight.

Xiao Zhi was like an eagle jumping towards the abyss, he charged up and kicked off the edge of the high platform, his slender body stretched quickly with tense strength, a little illusory under the light and shadow of stars, moon and fireworks.

The deep and flickering night sky seemed to separate a gully between Qi Si and Xiao Zhi, swallowing all the warmth.

A moment is like an eternity.

Qi Si saw Xiao Zhi's face, which was a little dazed and anxious, with unknown emotions flickering in his clear eyes, and his figure was reflected in his pupils.

When he jumped down, the leverage of his toes made him fall at a faster speed, quickly approaching Qi Si.

However, Qi Si lost consciousness due to the suffocation of his heart.

In the moment before he passed out, he felt exhausted like a dark current that finally overwhelmed him.

Everything is in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand to embrace Qi Si, held the Shenshui sword tightly in his right hand, and slashed across the solid masonry side wall of the Bafang Terrace, making a clanging sound like gold and iron clashing, and the Shenshui sword left a deep scratch on the stone wall. Notch, rub a little spark.

Xiao Zhi kicked on the wall again, held Qi Sihu in his arms, rolled over and landed on his shoulders, and then quickly and steadily stopped.

"Your Highness! Young Master!"

Qisi struggled to open his eyes in pain, the dark tide was still trying to pull him back, and his consciousness was trying to pull himself to wake up.

Holding Qisi in his arms, Xiao Zhi knelt on one knee on the withered grass covered by winter snow under Bafangtai, holding Shenshui sword in his right hand, wrapped his arms around Qisi, and called him in a low voice.

Qi Si looked at Xiao Zhi in a half-chaos, his eyes seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end he just raised his hand and shook Xiao Zhi's wrist, and then fell into a coma again.

At the last moment, he thought: Xiao Zhi, I am not some highness.

When he woke up again, it was in Jingyun Palace.

In the warm hall, there was a familiar faint scent of incense. When Qi Si was first brought to the Yan Kingdom Palace, he lived here for a while.

Qi Si felt his forehead covered with warm palms, and then left again.

His consciousness struggled to pull himself out of the dark tide, and tried to open his eyes again.

In front of him were warm and bright candles, exquisite brocade curtains, and a person sitting beside him.

"Your Highness is awake!" A palace official noticed and reminded quickly.

The man turned around and looked down at Qi Si carefully: "Does it hurt?"

Qi Si blinked a few times, got used to it, and shook his head.

There is still some residual pain in the heart, and it is hard to tell whether it is the real throbbing pain or the remaining hallucinations.

He tried to move his arms and legs a few times, and slowly tried to sit up.

"Your Majesty." Qi Si's voice was a little hoarse, half of a word could not be uttered.

Emperor Su stretched out his hand to help him sit up, asked the palace servants to bring a cup of tea, and personally fed him a few sips of warm tea.Qi Si felt that his throat was more comfortable, but his consciousness was still a little sluggish.

He looked around, Xiao Zhi was standing not far from the bed, watching Qi Si quietly.

The little eunuch who accompanied Qisi to Bafangtai knelt beside the couch, looked up at Qisi with tears all over his face, then lowered his head, not daring to be rude.

Qi thought was aroused for a moment, and his consciousness quickly became clear, and he remembered what happened on Bafangtai—how should I say it?Did Xiao Zhi tell Emperor Su?How will it be handled?

But what would Xiao Zhi say?

When he thought of the scene on Bafangtai, his first reaction was, if Emperor Su knew about it, would he punish Xiao Zhi?

Qi Si's heart beat faster, with faint pain, and finally rushed to the little eunuch before Su Di could speak, "What's going on?"

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, kowtowed, and replied tremblingly: "I don't know, slave... The slave can't remember, and I don't know anything all at once... When I woke up, I saw Xiao Shizi holding His Highness, and I panicked." I panicked and sent you to Jingyun Palace, and I don't know what happened."

Sudi frowned and looked at Qi Si: "What about you? Why did you faint together?"

Qi Si frowned, thought hard, seemed to be remembering, hesitated for a moment and said: "I was going to ask him to go back together, but when I saw him lying there, I felt nervous...I wanted to wake him up...I didn't know why. Here it is..."

Emperor Su turned his head to look at Xiao Zhi again: "What about you? Didn't find anything?"

After listening to Qi Si's words, Xiao Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were condensed slightly, and calmly followed Qi Si's words: "I didn't find anything in my humble position. Your Highness should be in a coma due to Zhu Yanshou."

Qi Si relaxed a little, and rounded up the words, Xiao Zhi would not be punished.

But I feel very cold in my heart.

Xiao Zhi's indifference today made him poke at the pain, as if he had been betrayed and abandoned again, and he didn't dare to think about it, thinking that Xiao Zhi was involved with the person who assassinated Yu Ke and his party in Shandao that day, he felt a tight pain in his chest.

Could it be that I misunderstood him?After all, he jumped down to save himself in the end, but Xiao Zhi's reaction at that moment was so clear...

Emperor Su stared at Xiao Zhi for a while, his eyes were like a pool of deep water, so calm that he could penetrate people's hearts.
