Outside the well is heaven and earth, and inside a small well is also heaven and earth.They all saw snow falling, and they all felt icy cold, but compared to the emptiness and helplessness outside the well, the narrowness inside the well made Zhao Zhen feel at ease.

I thought a lot in a mess, but after sitting for a long time, my thoughts became more and more chaotic, and gradually I didn't think about anything.In fact, what's the use of thinking?There is no way of knowing Bai Yutang's life or death, nor how to get out of trouble.Come to think of it, incompetent people are not sad, what is really sad is powerlessness.I have always been too dependent, and I have been arranged by others in an orderly manner. Now the dependent person is lying in my arms, sick and injured, with a haggard look. Even if I want to do something within my ability for the other party, I don’t know for a while Where to start.

Confused, Zhao Zhen raised his head and looked at the square inch of the sky at the mouth of the well, and his arms tightened and tightened.

Zhan Zhao has been in a drowsy sleep all this time, and his scorching snort sprayed on his neck one after another, a little itchy, and there was always a wave of strangeness in his heart.For fear of disturbing the person who had finally been persuaded to sleep, Zhao Zhen didn't dare to move more, so he had to endure it, and kept embracing it with one arm, which eventually became numb after a long time.Called twice, seeing Zhan Zhao's response, Zhao Zhen relaxed his hands and feet and adjusted his posture again.He first helped Zhan Zhao to sit in front of him, took off his outer garment to cover his upper body, and then hugged him tightly from behind again.After a lot of tossing, Zhao Zhen couldn't help falling into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already a night, the sky was getting bright, and the snow stopped at some point.

The first thought that comes to mind after getting rid of the muddle is Zhan Zhao.He called "Guard Zhan", but there was no response, so he couldn't wait to raise his hand to touch Zhan Zhao's forehead, only to feel that the heat continued to increase, and when he listened to his breathing, it became even more rapid.

Zhao Zhen was a little anxious.Originally, he had hoped that after a night of rest and rest, Zhan Zhao could suppress the heat by himself, but the attack was sudden and violent. When he heard that Bai Yutang was dead, he was exhausted physically and mentally, so that he still hasn't woken up. If he doesn't care about it, something serious will happen.

My heart was spinning like ants on a hot pot, but I couldn't come up with any ideas.Looking up at the sky, the snow has not fallen, and it is still freezing cold.With the brighter light, seeing the snow on Zhan Zhao's body, he hurriedly swept it away, but felt the chills all over his body while touching Zhan Zhao's body.At that moment, Zhao Zhen's eyebrows were inexplicably painful, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter, wishing to share all his body temperature with him.

What should I do?To maintain the status quo is only a dead end.

The flustered mind finally calmed down after touching the Yunlang Sword at hand. The word "Bai Yutang" jumped in his brain like a projectile.

If Bai Yutang was by Zhan Zhao's side right now, he would definitely try his best to save Zhan Zhao. He could use his internal energy to protect Zhan Zhao from the cold, and maybe he could easily get out of this dry well.But now, Bai Yutang has already...Zhao Zhen shook his head and stopped thinking about it, but he became annoyed.Son of Heaven, how can you still think of relying on others in such a situation?If they don't think of a way, even if Zhan Zhao doesn't die of illness, they will starve to death and freeze to death in this well.

With a determination in his heart, Zhao Zhen helped Zhan Zhaoping to lie down, jumped up by himself, and circled around the square inch.I touched the wall of the well with my hand, and felt the cold stabbing my hand. When I looked carefully, I found that the wall of the well was covered with thin ice, which was so smooth that there was no place to hold my strength, let alone climbing.No wonder Zhan Zhao had to wrap his hands with cloth strips before jumping off yesterday.

His eyes unconsciously turned to Zhan Zhao, who was unaware of human affairs, but after sweeping to Yun Lang beside him, his eyes shone brightly.Thinking of Zhan Zhao's use of this sword to cut rocks and rocks, Zhao Zhen pulled out the sword body and stabbed at the wall of the well, two dents immediately appeared, and his face couldn't help showing joy.After repeated attempts, I finally mastered the knack of climbing. The holes carved out by the thorns can also be of appropriate size, but the hands are exposed to the cold and the palms are easily scratched by the thin ice.So Zhao Zhen bent over to imitate Zhan Zhao, tore off the bottom of his robe and wrapped his hands with cloth, then took a deep breath and walked to Zhan Zhao's side.

He wanted to carry him on his back, but when his right hand accidentally touched Zhan Zhao's knee, he had a strange idea.He thought that whether it was Bai Yutang or Zhan Zhao, holding each other in his arms would be effortless.I don't know what happened at that time, but Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to Zhan Zhao's hip inexplicably, and picked him up in a hug.

but……

……Good weight…….

Zhao Zhen tried three times in a row and finally blushed and decided to abandon his armor and surrender.I thought that Zhan Zhao was so heavy, and it would be difficult for him to climb up the rock alone relying on the holes dug out, how could he bear another person? (Zero: Haha, of course, writing this paragraph is not purely for the sake of being funny. Xiaolong actually has other purposes in wanting to embrace Zhaozhao. But the most important thing is to show that Zhaozhao has weight. Even if he is thin, he is still thin Slender. Those who have a kung fu background are considered birds, and any cat or dog wants to hug him. Xiaolong anger: Do you dare to say that I am a cat or a dog? If you want to hug Zhaozhao, you have to endure hardships first before hugging the Master. Hey!)

After some thought, he changed his mind.Even if Zhan Zhao could be brought out of the well, Yi Zhanzhao was in a coma at the moment, and it would be very dangerous. It would be better to stay in the well, it would be an excellent hiding place.It's just that sitting in the open air is not good for Zhan Zhao's condition.Zhao Zhen thought that the two bear skins hidden in the cave could keep out the cold, so he decided to take the risk.

Climbing is not easy.At first, he could bear the pain and coldness that filled his fingers, but gradually he couldn't bear it anymore.Especially when digging upwards with the sword raised, the two feet barely stepping on the notch can not provide much strength, and it is all supported by one hand.After a long time, his arms became numb, and his body weighed more than a thousand catties, forcing Zhao Zhen into a dilemma.

Countless times I wanted to give up, and countless times I held back after facing the white figure at the bottom of the well.Until the line of sight couldn't be reached, Zhao Zhen still gritted his teeth and persisted, because the image had been reflected in his mind and burned in his heart—the pale face, the bright winter clothes, helpless and fragile, like a white lotus blooming in the snow, if you don't go Guardian, are you watching "wither"?

I don't know how long it took before Zhao Zhen finally climbed out of the well.One turned over and fell on the snow, he gasped heavily.

He raised his hand, his ten fingers were worn out, dripping with blood under the sun.It is said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and just now I was distracted, but now I think about it, and I grin my teeth in pain.However, after all, Zhao Zhen was a generation of emperors who knew how to handle the overall situation. Knowing that there were dangers everywhere, he took a strong breath and ignored the pain. Then he tore off two robe bottom cloths and wrapped his hands tightly, then lifted Yunlang and carefully sneaked into the cave where he came.

The journey went smoothly, without encountering a single person, but the sky began to snow again at some point.Going back to the cave to find the place where the bear hide was hidden, suddenly heard the faint voice of conversation from the other side of the cave.Zhao Zhen knew that someone must have thought the cave was suspicious and sent people to guard it, so he didn't dare to be careless and tiptoed to remove the covered stones.However, just as he was about to take out the bear skin, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.When Zhao Zhen was in a hurry, his hands twitched, and the broken stones that he didn't pay attention to were immediately carried all over the ground, and the noise was naturally inevitable.

"Who?"

Zhao Zhen whispered that it was terrible, but he didn't run away in a panic, because he realized that the person who made the sound didn't approach quickly, but stopped.Zhao Zhen guessed that the other party must be afraid that he might be Zhan Zhao with high martial arts skills, so he didn't dare to make rash advances.Taking advantage of this mentality, he warned himself not to meet the enemy face to face, while retreating silently.It was just that a whistle that seemed to invite friends and friends made him no longer care about stabilizing his figure, and started to run wildly.

Running out of the cave, the white snow made people feel troubled.Unlike Zhan Zhao, who has excellent lightness skills, swallows can fly without a trace, knowing that footprints are inevitable, Zhao Zhen had an idea, gritted his teeth, shook off the bear skin, wrapped himself around his body, and rolled down the slope.This roll seems inexplicable, but it is actually quick-witted.The snow was so thick that he was stuck everywhere on foot, and the slope was quite long, extending towards the village. Zhao Zhen saved his strength by rolling.

When Fang stopped, he heard someone startled at the entrance of the cave in the distance: "What is that? A wild bear?" Then he changed his mind, bent down to prop up the bear skin, avoided it, and ran to the village.

Although the two people who were chasing did not know whether they were humans or beasts, they did not dare to be sloppy. They pursued closely but kept a cautious distance.

The bear skin is wide and big, so I don't expect others to mistake me for a wild beast. After all, the footprints can't fool people when I chase it close, I just want not to reveal my identity.Because Zhao Zhen believed that he was able to escape to the courtyard where the dry well was located by relying on the other party's sense of fear.

Distraught and flustered, he only wanted to hurry back to Zhan Zhao's side, but stopped abruptly when he was less than seven steps away from the mouth of the well.

Zhao Zhen looked back, his brows furrowed deeply.There were slight drag marks from the bear's belt on the ground, but the clear footprints could not be worn away, let alone the cover of the newly fallen snow.The footprints were so clear that Zhao Zhen's eyes hurt.

what is he doingThe traces are so obvious, and jumping into the well like this, isn't it a clear way to catch a turtle in the urn?

Thinking of Zhan Zhao who had a high fever underground, Zhao Zhen's whole mind was like being poured with a basin of ice water, and he woke up completely.Shouldn't he learn from Zhan Zhao's dodging tricks, and use the ruins of ruins to hide from the old house, so as to avoid this catastrophe first?But he quickly rejected this idea.Without Zhan Zhao's outstanding lightness kung fu, the traces under his feet would not be removed, so this is just delaying time, and he must be the one who suffers in the end.Furthermore, one wrong step, one wrong step, and I am afraid it will be too late.

Unconsciously, he clenched the bear skin in his hand a little more, Zhao Zhen seemed to have made up his mind: put all your eggs in one basket!

He turned around and ran towards the high wall on the other side, and then stepped back cautiously in the original footprints all the way back, creating the illusion of leaving over the wall.After everything was over, Zhao Zhen used his unskilled lightness kung fu and jumped down the well.

The snow under the well was thick and soft, so he was thinking of falling again, but Zhao Zhen miscalculated the depth of the well, and this fall was even more striking than the previous fall with Zhan Zhao, which made him stare at each other. Su, his body was brought by the momentum and turned several times in a row, feeling that he was about to be crushed into a white mass, his confused mind suddenly froze, and his uncontrollable body forcibly supported it.After the sight became clear again, he saw Zhan Zhao's magnified face, and at that moment, his back suddenly stiffened, because the distance between the two was so close that they were almost face to face.

Moments later, his face suddenly flushed red, and Zhao Zhen gasped, not knowing whether he hadn't calmed down from the violent action, or his heartbeat was aggravated by the embarrassing situation at this moment.It's just that the stiffness is still going on, when Zhan Zhao's face flushed due to fever is in front of his eyes, and his hot breath, like the smell of alcohol, directly blows over his face and intertwines with his breath, Zhao Zhen suddenly forgot the danger just now , the mind is empty, so I can only maintain this posture.It wasn't until a voice came from the superior: "Go there." Only then did Zhao Zhen get out of this state and get out of reality.

Zhao Zhen clearly saw a drop of sweat from his forehead fall onto Zhan Zhao's cheek and then slide down his neck, he wiped his forehead with lingering fear, he let out a long sigh of relief, and fell on Zhan Zhao's body.

Thinking of being caught almost, the feeling of fear weighed on his heart, and he couldn't help but hug the person under him tightly.The mouth close to Zhan Zhao's ear unconsciously murmured "Guard Zhan" over and over again, a little greedily as if wanting to absorb the dependence and peace of mind that only Zhan Zhao could bring him.I just didn't expect this kind of self-comfort to respond. When Zhan Zhao uttered a weak "Your Majesty", Zhao Zhen bounced up like an electric shock.

Tilting his upper body slightly, he looked at Zhan Zhao who was in a coma in astonishment, watching him frowning and struggling, his breathing becoming more and more chaotic, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt his heart being grabbed by an inexplicable hand, and it was getting tighter and tighter. It seemed to be crushed.

Don't think about me anymore, although I'm really happy that you responded to my voice, but...don't think about it anymore, please, don't think about Bai Yutang either.Zhanwei, why have you never thought about yourself? !The strong are unfortunate, and the weak can rely on the strong as an excuse when they are weak, so who should the strong rely on?Who can think about you?Who can you rely on?Who can protect you and support you?Who can love you more than love yourself?

Suddenly felt a tingling pain in his right hand, he looked blankly and saw that the Yunlang sword was lying in his palm intact.

Bai Yutang? ...Why do I always unconsciously think of this person's name?Ah, that's right, because that's also a strong man, a strong man who can support Zhan Zhao.And he...although he was very unwilling, but what Han Mengfei said was right. After leaving the palace, he was nothing more than a burden in this ridiculous and terrifying pursuit, a downright weakling. No matter how strong his desire to protect the other party was, he could Can he do it?Does he have the ability and determination like Bai Yutang to sacrifice his life to rescue the most important person from the prison?

Shaking off his troubled thoughts, Zhao Zhen decided to end that fruitless introspection.He clearly understands that now is not the time to think about those things, people have a lot of things to do, what they can do, what they can't do, and the first thing he has to do now is to make Zhan Zhao recover, apart from this, thinking about other things is futile.

Just as he was about to pull the bear skin over Zhan Zhao's body, he suddenly heard a commotion from Inoue, and it turned out that the two who were talented just now had returned.

One of them said, "Are you sure the person is hiding in the well?"

"The footprints disappeared out of thin air. Unless what we were chasing was a ghost, it must have been hidden. I thought about it for a long time, but there is no other place to hide except this well."

The man murmured, "What you said makes sense. If a person wiped out the traces when he was outside the wall, he should have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

Zhao Zhen's heart sank in vain, knowing that his confusing calculations were a failure.He couldn't help looking at the scarred palm of his left hand, and he clenched it tightly, forcing the pain in the palm to emerge more clearly.

Sure enough, he is a weak person with no ability...?

The eyes that were in extreme pain became sharp like blades in an instant, and Zhao Zhen lost any expression on his face, only a kind of determination.

It doesn't matter if he is weak or not, it doesn't matter if he is capable or not, he only knows one thing now, he must save Zhan Zhao and himself.

Yun Lang raised his chest flat, and was about to pull out to meet the enemy, when an inexplicable thought flashed through him, stopping all his movements.

Wait a minute, the conversation between the two of Inoue seems to be probing. If it is really concluded that there is someone in the well, he and Zhan Zhao would have already become entangled with the depth of the well, so they can quietly call for the big team, why bother discussing loudly on purpose.

Zhao Zhen looked up and saw a head poking into the well, knowing that he was listening to the sound in the well, and he knew it immediately.He held his breath for a moment, and sure enough, the two above started discussing again.

"There is no movement." The person who heard the voice said. "Could it be that you made a mistake, there is no one in the well. Besides, the footprints didn't reach the well at all."

"Anyway, just to be on the safe side, let's go down and explore." The other paused for a moment, and then said, "The rope may not be long enough. I remember seeing one in a certain abandoned house. I'll go get it."

Zhao Zhen knew that he couldn't escape this time, and he no longer imagined that there would be some miracle to make the other party back out of difficulties. Instead, he thought about countermeasures more seriously.There was nothing in that courtyard, if he wanted to lower the rope, one person must hold the rope outside the well, and the other would go down the well to explore, so this was his only chance.Wait for one of them to go down the well, make sure to stab him to death with a sword, and then when the person outside the well does not react, pull the rope to drag him down the well and kill him.Yes, everything must be done in one step, he can't make mistakes, and he can't let those two people leave alive.

He helped Zhan Zhao sit up in the only hidden place by the wall of the well, and then covered the dazzling white clothes with bear skin to ensure that those who went down the well could not easily see them. waiting.

Zhao Zhen has indeed made up his mind, but he is not like Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, who is used to life-and-death struggles, and the waiting becomes unbearable the longer he waits.Strictly speaking, he has never killed anyone with his own hands. Even when he was surrounded and suppressed by Prince Chai's mansion, under Zhan Zhao's protection, he only wanted to protect himself, and never actually killed anyone. The thought of killing two people in a flash , My heart suddenly became nervous and frightened.As if compulsively repeating the steps of how to kill a man over and over in his mind, those feelings became clearer.What does it feel like to kill someone?If No.1 can't hit it with one hit, shouldn't it be better to pull down the people outside the well before making any plans?Or if you accidentally didn't pull someone down the well and let the people outside the well run away, how should you deal with it?The more I think about it, the more chaotic my mind becomes, and the air in the well seems to be sucked away by this oppressive feeling, which is suffocating.

Zhao Zhen trembled involuntarily, rubbing his chest with his free left hand for a while, and groping aimlessly on the wall of the well for a while.Feeling that there seemed to be a sound on the well, and I don't know if the person who took the rope came back, Zhao Zhen's heart tightened, and his hand was heavy, and he felt that the hand that was pressing on the well suddenly lost strength, and he fell to the left without any precautions. .

After stabilizing his figure, he saw that his left hand was inserted into the wall of the well. When he moved his left hand, he found that the wall of the well was actually empty.This change touched a certain nerve in Zhao Zhen, he withdrew his hand excitedly, groped on the wall of the well, and found that the wall of the well was different from others, it was made of dozens of large green bricks, It's just that it is impossible to distinguish in the dark because of the snow and ice attached to it.If he hadn't just clicked randomly just now, how could he find out that there is something wrong?

Use a short dagger to carefully separate the places connected by the ice, and take them out one by one, and inside is a cave the size of half a person.At this moment, Zhao Zhen can finally appreciate what it means to survive from a desperate situation.No longer thinking about it, he hurriedly carried Zhan Zhao into the hole, then carefully removed the traces left in the snow, and finally put the blue bricks back into the hole one by one.I don't know whether to say good luck or not. After everything is over, a rope hangs from the top to let people down.

The cave was narrow, and Zhao Zhen sat against Zhan Zhao's wall, holding his breath and concentrating on it, but his hands never left the clouds.Fortunately, after the visitor got down the well, he could see the area clearly at a glance, so he just muttered: "It's strange, did we really meet a ghost?" He climbed back to the well and left without looking again.

It wasn't until there was no more sound that Zhao Zhen fell down beside Zhan Zhao in relief.Turning his head and smiling at the people beside him, Zhao Zhen wrinkled his nose, and asked with a self-deprecating smile: "At least I still have luck. Isn't I not too incompetent?" The people in the dark didn't respond, and Zhao Zhen didn't know what it was Disappointed or lost, he could only sigh, put Zhan Zhao on his back, and then crawled straight into the cave.He believed that this cave might be the secret way that Zhan Zhao said Nangongwei escaped from Haoshan back then, but it became wider and wider as he went in, and there seemed to be something shining in the depths of the cave, and he climbed for about [-] minutes. The distance of ten feet or so has come to an end, a thick stone wall blocks in front of him, he pushes and pushes vigorously, but does not move at all, and under the stone wall, three strange stones the size of a thumb lie there with a bright blue brilliance.

Zhao Zhen laid down a bearskin, put Zhan Zhao on his back lightly, and asked someone to lie flat on it, and then wrapped it with another bearskin. Then he bent over and picked up three small stones, and put them in his palm to play with. This strange stone has never been seen before, but I once heard from a foreign envoy of Zhaohe that there is a strange stone called Yueyingshi, which is the same in the daytime, but can emit a brilliant blue brilliance in the night, presumably this is up.

Borrowing the brilliance of the moonstone, I checked whether there were any mechanisms around the stone wall. I just groped for a long time, but found five notches in the middle of the stone wall, which were also the size of thumbs, and found nothing else.Zhao Zhen carefully observed the shape of the notch, suddenly inspired, picked up a moonlight stone and inserted it, and found that it was a perfect match.Zhao Zhen was secretly happy, so he put the other two in, but nothing happened.Zhao Zhen carefully searched along the cave to see if there were two other moonlight stones left somewhere else, but he went back and forth several times and still didn't find them.He took out the stone without giving up, and put it in another position. After trying all the possibilities, the stone wall remained motionless, and Zhao Zhen finally gave up.

The ray of light that was so hard to get was stifled again, and Zhao Zhen sat beside Zhan Zhao in frustration.Perhaps after going through a lot of ups and downs, he finally couldn't hold on, so Zhao Zhen gradually fell asleep on Zhan Zhao's body.
