Twilight War

04

"Zi Chen!"

Huang Xuanjin looked at the Knight Templar running towards him, that person was about the same age as him, but looking at the military badge on his shoulder and the silver leaf badge on his chest, he could tell that the young man was now the Deputy Commander of the Knights Templar .

That person held Huang Xuanjin's shoulders as if he couldn't believe it, "Zichen, why are you here?"

Huang Xuanjin remembered him, his name was Xi Wen, and he had entered the Hall of Valor with the highest score in the Valkyrie trials, but he had only seen Xi Wen a few times in the Hall of Valkyries.If we say we knew each other, it was only when Wihipel imprisoned him by his side later, and Xiwen was in charge of guarding him.

At that time, Wihipel was as desperate as a tyrant.He knew that Huang Xuan Jin would cut him with a sharp blade, but he refused to let go no matter what, even though his hands were already dripping with blood, he refused to accept any possibility of Huang Xuan Jin leaving him.

But it was impossible for Wisper to stay by his side all the time. After all, he was the consul of an empire, so when he left, most of the Westerners guarded Huangxuanjin.

Xiwen still remembers that he guarded that boy named Zichen for half a month, and that boy was quiet and silent all day long, like a marionette made by Donghuang craftsmen, never throwing things or making noise.

Even if His Royal Highness Vehipel came back, he just took a look at it indifferently.

But when he was standing outside the door that day, the boy suddenly asked him how long it was until the second day of March.

He still remembered the boy lying on his side on the chair at that time, his receding neck seemed to be broken at any time, he was wearing a Donghuang heavy tunic, and his bare ankles were hanging from the side of the chair.

He was like a gray swallowtail flying in a glass enclosure.

After the boy finished asking, he suddenly turned his head to look at him, those eyes were beautiful but lifeless.

And that was a year ago.

Xi Wen stared blankly at Huang Xuan Jin, he didn't know what happened this year, in fact, he didn't even know what happened back then.

"You...why are you here." Xiwen looked at Huang Xuanjin and said.

Huang Xuanjin bit his lip, sighed, and raised the paper bag in his hand, "I really just stopped by to buy fish and chips, Xi Wen, you have to trust me."

Before he finished speaking, he was handcuffed by Xiwen, who said: "Your Highness said that anyone suspected of smuggling activities must be imprisoned first, and will be dealt with after careful examination." After finishing speaking, Xiwen raised his head He looked at Huangxuanjin very sincerely.

05 Huangxuanjin sat on the haystack in the prison, holding a withered yellow grass orange. The cell was surrounded by wet and blue stone bricks, and the jailers could be seen walking back and forth through the iron fence.

"Your Highness is still going to see when." He lowered his head and grabbed the grass roots.

Wisper didn't know how long he had stood by the side, but he didn't answer when Huangxuanjin asked him. He just walked to the iron fence, opened the box with brass corners next to it, and took out the contents. Put them one by one into the iron bars and line them up in a row.

Huang Xuanjin took a look and found that they were all for food.Even he himself couldn't help laughing secretly, did he feed him like an animal in a cage?

"When can I go out?" Huang Xuanjin didn't go to get the food, but still grabbed the grass root in his hand.

"I've already talked to the responsible officials here, it won't be too long, but at least I'll wait until tomorrow night to finish the formalities," Wihipel said.

Huang Xuanjin twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously unhappy.

"If you need anything, I'll do it."

"Help me remove one arm from the steel blade." Huangxuanjin looked up at Vehipel, "I don't care if he kills me, but now I'm going to be killed in this kind of place for a day, I'm very unhappy .”

"Change it," said Wihipel.

"how?"

"Steel Blade is dead."

"How could it be?" Huang Xuanjin was startled, "He was fine when I left."

"He hurt you." Wihipel said looking at the wound on Huang Xuanjin's hand.

Huangxuan Jin looked down at the wound on his hand, and pieces of dried grass were stained on his hand with dried blood. If it wasn't for Weisipel's mention, he would have even forgotten that his hand was wounded.

"Bring me a bottle of wine." Huang Xuanjin said, "It's too boring here."

"No."

"Why not?"

"You're injured, so you can't drink." Vehipel said seriously.

"This injury, you treat me like a child." Huang Xuanjin looked up at Wisipel.

"You eat something first, and I will deal with other things first."

The food brought by Wisipel was still arranged in a row next to the iron bars, one bar facing the other.Huang Xuanjin was not in the mood to take it, he just felt the pain as hell.

The injection Isabel gave him was put on the truck by him, and it was injected every seven days, and this evening was exactly the time for the injection.

Gregory was right, and Isabel used it on him when she asked the parish to kill weeds.Isabel was there to save him, but also to bind him.

Crows and grasses are like an invisible rope around his neck, and he cannot live without Isabel for half a month.

But if he didn't kill the weeds with crows, he couldn't even survive a year ago.So he did still have suspicions about Isabel, but there would never be any hatred. Even if Isabel took his life, she deserved it.

He hit the stone brick with the back of his head, and it hurt, and it started to hurt when Vehipel was there just now.

He pulled another piece of dry grass and began to pull it, and chopped the grass into fine pieces. The pain from the wound on his hand made him feel like a relief.

Isabel once told him that he was like a wild ghost living in the world.But wild ghosts always stay in this world because they still have unfinished obsessions in this world. She asked him what his obsessions are.

... Obsessive?

Huangxuanjin heard the sound of military boots stepping on the ground, and he knew it was Vehipel.

Wischpel passed by the iron fence, followed by the officials in charge here.

"Brother..." The boy leaned back on the stone brick behind him and suddenly called softly, "Remember to bring me a bottle of wine."

The boy's eyebrows were like blurred fireworks, looking at the man through the cold iron fence.

Wihipel didn't look back, just walked out.

There was a slight smile on the corner of the boy's mouth. Hearing the footsteps of the man leaving, he continued to bump his head against the stone bricks.

The so-called obsession is all delusion.

When Huangxuan Jin heard the footsteps again, he was already in pain, and even his consciousness was not very clear, and he caught the wine thrown by Wisipel in a daze.Obviously, the pain was gone, but Huang Xuanjin still remembered to look at the wine label on the bottle.

Yes, it is good wine.

Just as Huangxuanjin was about to remove the seal on the wine bottle, he was suddenly pulled out by his arm, and Huangxuanjin was pushed down onto a wooden table in the corner of the prison corridor.

There were heavy shackles and iron locks on the wooden table, which were rattled by the movements of the two.

Huang Xuanjin wanted to quickly unseal the wine bottle, licking his lips and studying the wine seal on the bottle.

Vehipel pressed Huangxuan Jin on the table, and he felt that he could even hear his own panting.He is like a beast holding a lotus flower, wanting to destroy him, but he is reluctant to touch him a little bit.

His throat was a little tight, and he stretched out his hand to gently rub Huang Xuan Jin's lowered face.

He thinks that Huangxuanjin has become more and more beautiful these years, and he doesn't know what others think, at least he thinks so.

In fact, when this child was not grown up, he thought he was good-looking, and he had always been very partial to his little phoenix.Huang Xuanjin finally broke the seal of the wine bottle, laughing so hard that even the canine teeth came out from the corner of his mouth.

Wisper pressed Huangxuanjin back on the wooden table, and the chains on the table fell to the ground with a clatter, but in the end they didn't fall all the way down, just hanging on the table, dangling.

Huangxuanjin took a sip of the wine suddenly, and the liquid flowed down his chin. Wihipel bit his neck, as if he was tasting a piece of crane neck meat marinated in Huadiao wine.

Eat its meat, sleep its skin.

Wisipel still remembered the look that Huangxuanjin looked at him through the iron bars just now, he really wanted to lock Huangxuanjin up again, and keep him by his side, day and night.

But he didn't dare, he really didn't dare.He is not afraid of cutting himself, but he is afraid of hurting his little phoenix.

Huangxuanjin yelped in pain, and Wisipel interlocked his fingers and pressed his hand on the wooden table forcefully.

The light in the corner of the aisle was dim, and the other prisoners in the cell kept shouting and making noise, mixed and disturbed.The half-falling chains on the wooden table swayed and hit each other, making people upset.

Huangxuan Jin raised his head and drank the wine, relieving the pain in his body.

"You shouldn't have provoked me in the first place." Huangxuan Jin heard Wei Xipel say behind him while he was half asleep and half awake.

Look, now he is blamed for provoking him. At the beginning, he was clearly in the mud, and he was obsessed by Vichypel.

They owed each other so much that it was impossible to calculate the account, but how could Wisipel be willing to write it off, and how could he be willing to break the score clearly.

Huangxuan Jin drank the last sip of wine, and fell down on the wooden table as if he had collapsed, panting with his mouth open, his half-length black hair was disheveled.Wine bottles dangled on the table.

"...This wine is very good." Huang Xuanjin played with the bottle with his fingers, watching the bottle dangling on the table.

In the end, Huangxuan Jin was carried to the cell by Wisper. He was so drunk that his peach-like eyes were half-closed, and his head rested on Wisper's chest.

Wisipel put Huangxuan Jin on the haystack in the cell, and looked at it for a while. Huang Xuan Jin's eyelashes were not very long and straight, and looked a bit thorny.Vehippel wanted to touch it, but in the end he just looked at it over and over again.

He was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard the young man behind him say in a low voice, "Bring me some water."

Wisipel was stunned for a moment, and heard Huang Xuanjin continue to say, "You take so much food and no water, are you trying to choke me to death?"

He nodded, he didn't think about it himself.

On the second day, the pain on Huangxuan Jin's body eased a lot, replaced by a deep sense of tiredness, who would be exhausted after a night of pain.

What's more, this is originally a side effect of the crow killing the grass. If it doesn't get what it wants, it will torture the host desperately.

Wihipel was still leaning against the iron fence and watching him, making him wonder if the consul of the Arthur Empire was really so easy to do, with nothing to do all day long.

He took a cigarette out of his arms, and pressed the iron-cased lighter a few times but failed to ignite it.

"I have it here," said Vichypel suddenly.

Huang Xuanjin looked back at him, hooked his fingers, and signaled him to throw the lighter over.

Wischpel didn't respond, Huangxuan Jin knew that Wihipel was letting him go, so he smiled with his mouth curled up, turned over, leaned against the iron railing, and passed the cigarette over.

Wisipel lit the smoke that Huangxuanjin held in his fingertips, and the burning tobacco looked like dark molten gold against Huangxuanjin's fingertips.

Light feathers were engraved on the simple metal casing of the lighter. Huang Xuanjin raised his eyes and looked at him, "Why would you bring such a thing?"

Vichypel never smoked.

Seeing that Wisipel didn't speak, Huangxuan Jin didn't continue to care about him, he raised his body and leaned his back against the black iron railing, gray smoke enveloped his fingertips.

"Thinking...in case you borrowed fire from me someday." Vehipel said suddenly.

Huangxuan Jin leaned his head against the iron railing and let out a dumb laugh, his eyes could not see clearly in the smoke.

At night, they were indeed let out. Huangxuan Jin was about to go out when he was suddenly stopped by Wisipel, who told Huiwei and the others to go first.

The two walked one after the other along the river, and the wind blows over the large reeds under the moonlight.

The two of them just walked quietly without saying anything.In the past, when they were together, Huangxuan Jin talked non-stop, and Wisipel listened carefully.

Now Huang Xuanjin didn't want to talk anymore, there was only silence between the two of them.

"Huangxuanjin." Vihipel suddenly called out Huangxuanjin's name, as if to say something.

Huangxuanjin pulled a reed in his mouth, and looked back at Vehipel.

"Vichpel, some things are like the wind blowing through the reeds. Since there are no traces left, it's better to pretend that nothing happened."

After he finished speaking, he walked forward through large stretches of reeds, and the hem of his windbreaker fluttered among the reeds with the wind.

Wisipel suddenly grabbed Huang Xuanjin's wrist, and pulled his collar, revealing the marks on his neck, "Isn't that leaving no traces?"

Huang Xuanjin stretched out his hand and pulled down the hand that Wisipel was pulling on his collar. Wisipel finally let go of his hand after seeing the blood on his fingertips.

He shook off Wischpel's hand, turned and continued walking.
