obey

Endless darkness.Faint breathing.

The water dripped down the cheeks and into the mouth drop by drop, and the fishy and sweet smell awakened a sliver of clarity in the young man lying in the mountain stream.

Fingertips curled slightly, Ying Qi woke up from the coma, struggled to get up from the stream, with the sound of rushing water, the whole stream was stained red by his blood.

Surrounded by the corpses of soldiers wearing the battle armor of the Howling Wolf Battalion, Deputy General An fell not far away, he had already died, his limbs were twisted in a strange posture, as if his whole body had been wrung apart like someone twisting his clothes, and he was dead. Tragic.

"...Your Highness!" Ying Qi woke up suddenly, dragged his scarred body staggering around, looking for Li Yuan's voice, and walked upstream along the mountain stream with difficulty, staggering.

The memory is fragmented, and Ying Qi tried hard to recall but could only piece together some fragments. He only remembered that the moment before he fell into a coma, he heard the urgent whistle of His Highness gathering the ghost guards. The moment he flew into the air, he was dragged down.

Then there was darkness, and his entire spine hit the ground, powerless to fight back.

His blankly looking eyes fell on the bushes in the distance, a piece of familiar black satin glowed faintly under the sunlight, Ying Qi ran after the hem of the ink cloud brocade dress, and only when he got closer did he realize that the soles of his boots were sticky. Stepped on a pool of blood.

He hesitated to part the bush, and his heart stopped for a moment.

Ying Si fell into a pool of blood, leaving a huge gap in his waist, his flesh turned over, and a strangle mark on his neck. His own whip was wrapped around his neck, and he had already lost his breath.

"Commander." Ying Qiyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he knelt down beside Ying Si on one knee, peeled off the black whip wrapped around his neck, and tried his breath persistently, then tore off the medicinal cloth from the inner layer of the hundred-edged belt and pressed it on Ying Si stopped the bleeding from the wound on his waist.

"Commander... Commander..." Ying Qi was a little flustered. Ying Si was the core of this ghost guard team. Without the command of the ghost guards of the Nine Infants Group, this team would become a mess. Substitute, and Yingdie is still staying in the Yanhan Siling camp at this time, I am afraid that he doesn't even know anything about the changes here.

Even if Shadow Stack heard the commotion here, he was helpless in the scorching summer.Yingqi can top the Taotie group's attack position, and can also guard the Feilian group's duty of scouting and delivering letters, but he has not learned the command ability of the Jiuying group, which also depends on his strong talent.

They underestimated the enemy. They thought that the Wuyue clan could not stand alone and were already at the end of their strength, but unexpectedly, the sentence "they have a group of undefeated warriors and no one can stop them" that Tai Li, who was captured alive, came true.

I don't know what method they used to make the rest of the Shensha tribe who are still independent work for them. Ying Qi thought that it was just Kong Lanjiao, the second young master of the Kong family, who was gifted with amazing strength. A natural warrior is nothing more than an army of ferocious ghosts.

In the past, he didn't quite understand that although Kong Yanxi was a little weak, he was not so disgusted by his family. Now he knows that such a powerful and rare bloodline finally gave birth to an eldest son, but he did not inherit the fierceness of the Shensha clan at all. With fierce combat power, how disappointed his people will be.

Ying Qi refused to believe that the almost all-powerful shadow guard had passed away, so he bandaged Ying Si with the hemostasis taught by Wei Cheng, but he had to immediately think about the best tactic after Ying Si's sacrifice.

The wrist was suddenly held by a pair of blood-stained hands.

Ying Si coldly opened his eyes, met Ying Qi's bewildered eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just hold your breath. There is a saying in the shadow palace training rules, and the shadow guards should not be panicked."

Ying Qi calmly breathed a sigh of relief: "Can I still go? Your Highness is in big trouble."

He only remembered that the soldier who grabbed his ankle was so powerful that it was frightening. He couldn't break free with all his strength. He was thrown high in the air by his ankle, and was dragged and smashed to the ground. Just like an adult playing around with a child, the ghost guards of the palace are vulnerable in front of him.

Shadow Four pushed Shadow Seven away: "Go to His Highness. I'll be there later."

"Yes, Commander." Ying Qi drew out the dragonfly swords, used his almost exhausted breath to make the soft swords sharp as before, endured the severe pain in his bone marrow and quietly disappeared, and in the next moment he had already run several tens of feet away.

Ying Si took a breath, pressed a few acupoints to stop the bleeding, his face was still expressionless, it seemed that there was nothing to scare him, he was the head of the shadow guard, and he should not show any loss of composure at any time.

Even if you encounter an invincible enemy, you can't take half a step back.

He stood up supporting his body that was bleeding continuously, and chased after Ying Qi.

Under the tree, there were dead and broken centipedes all over the ground. Some were broken in two, and some were already torn to pieces. The golden incantations on the centipedes' backs were dim, and their owners were dying.

A pair of lifeless and cold eyes slowly opened, their gazes were dead silent.

Yingchu leaned against the tree, his thigh was pierced by a sharp branch, blood flowed all over the ground, soaking the centipede's body.

He heard the whistling of ghost guards in a hurry in the distance, and his burly body seemed to be summoned by a spell. Regardless of the legs that were pierced and nailed to the ground, he slowly got up and broke the sharp branch.

There was a slight hissing sound as the muscles came out of the wooden spines, and Yingchu dragged along the way dripping with blood, following the whistle and disappearing in the dense forest.

A medicine box was stuck in the crevice of the rock, and a scarred boy's hand slowly protruded from the depth of the crevice. Wei Cheng crawled out of the crevice, his calf had already been cut open by the gravel. The long wound made the already thin and frail boy's body look even weaker.

Holding his breath, he climbed out of the rock crevice, opened the medicine box in pain, found the silver needle and medical thread, bit the glove he had taken off, his little face was pale, and sewed up the wound with slightly trembling hands, one stitch at a time. The needle pierces the flesh.

"Hmm..." The silver needle pierced into the flesh, Wei Cheng bit his gauntlet and moaned.

I don't know what is supporting him to not give up, he has long regarded himself as a shadow guard, and for His Highness, he will never back down.

Wei Cheng skillfully sewed up the wound on his calf. At this moment, his whole body was already dripping with cold sweat, and his whole body was stiff.

He crawled over to carry the heavy medicine box on his back, and limped along to the calling whistle.

"Your Highness..." He was too thirsty, and there was still half a bag of water in the medicine box. He took a sip and put it back. There was no stream nearby, and the water had to be saved to save other people's lives.

The ghost guards were all scattered, and they were all sneaking towards the direction where the summoning whistle sounded, like pious believers who had been called by their mission, stepping on the bloody road, because they shouldered the responsibility of protecting the master, they were covered with bruises and bruises. willingly.

A hundred or so Shensha warriors chased and killed the two princes, so Li Yuan and Li Mo had no choice but to enter the corner of the gorge. The two had just entered the gorge when they heard a loud bombardment, and the entrance behind them collapsed. The falling rubble and thick smoke covered the line of sight, blocking the pursuers behind on the other side of the collapse.

The dust and smoke dissipated, Li Yuan looked around, and saw Ying Yan lying on the ground behind a protruding rock on the cliff. The girl hugged the firearm barrel that hadn't faded from the residual heat, and it became extremely difficult to even open her eyes. Seeing His Royal Highness's face appeared in front of her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly coughed violently, spit out the blood stuck in her throat, and her once delicate cheeks turned into a blood-stained white peony, which made it impossible not to feel pity.

Li Yuan looked at her in surprise, and didn't dislike the blood on her body at all. He sat beside her and helped her up, letting Yingyan lean into his arms: "Is the injury serious? How about the others?"

Ying Yan sat up with the gun barrel, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and knelt down into a standard shadow guard ceremony: "Subordinate...we can hold on. We were scattered by the sneak attacking soldiers, Your Highness, Your Majesty I have never seen such a powerful opponent...they...maybe already..."

Li Yuan's hands holding her shoulders trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm down, "No."

He touched his heart, and he could feel the connection between his children and himself, because no matter if he lost any ghost guard, it would still hurt here.

"Your Highness!" Just as Li Yuan's heart was in turmoil, a cry came from high on the cliff. Ying Wu leaned on the wound on his shoulder and poked his head out from the edge of the cliff to look down. When he saw His Royal Highness, he beat the ground twice in surprise, Little by little, he jumped down the cliff and knelt down beside Li Yuan.

"Thank you, God! You're fine!" Ying Wu happily hugged Li Yuan's thigh. The ink cloud brocade clothes on his body were already worn out, and he looked a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury.

Ying Wu wiped the blood on his face, panted and said: "Your Highness, you and His Highness Li Mo retreat quickly, this subordinate can hold on for a while."

The sound of digging and beating came from the other side of the collapsed gravel. The Shensha tribe was reckless and tough by nature, and they had no tactics at all, and they were head-to-head.

The moment the gravel was pushed away, Ying Wu rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.

Dozens of tall and burly Shensha warriors broke through the rocks, swarmed up, stepped on the cliff gravel and flew back to slash, with their legs clamped on the neck of the person in front, they turned around suddenly, and the neck that was twisted by Ying Wu's legs There was a series of crisp sounds of bone twisting.

"Grandma's... Even the neck is so hard, I'm going to break my legs." Ying Wu whispered to himself, and landed on the ground. The wounds on his shoulders and abdomen showed signs of tearing. He clenched his teeth, trying not to let His Highness See the end of his strength.

Among the ghost guards, the only one who has the strength to fight head-on with the Shensha warriors is Ying Wu. It's not that the ghost guards are too weak, but because the blood of the Shensha tribe is too powerful.

They wanted to retreat, the camp was completely slaughtered, where to retreat?As the chief general, wouldn't it be the laughing stock of the entire Dacheng if the two nobles from Tianhuang were to flee.

Li Moxuan has been guarding the dark for many years, so it is natural to see that even Ying Wu is holding his last breath. He didn't want to speak at first, but before he could react, he blurted out: "Where is the dark sadness? My Where is the secret joy?!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the secret joy that was dragging a bloody road from the small fork road and walking weakly against the wall.

Anxi stared blankly at Li Mo, kneeling on the ground with soft feet, he looked at his master in amazement, tried several times but failed to stand up, and simply crawled to Li Mo's side with all his hands and feet. There was dignity at all, but he was just taken aback by His Highness calling him.

Li Mo didn't have the heart to pay attention to the dark waves in Anxi's eyes, his dog was still alive, this was enough reason for him to look away.

Anbei came staggeringly from the small path, and suffered serious injuries. Li Yuan's ghost guards appeared from various directions one after another, and even the boy with the medicine box limped over.

The first one to appear is Ying Qi, who has been guarding Li Yuan's side since the moment he appeared. He was seriously injured, but he had to stand up and fight to the death for Li Yuan.

"Ying Qi!" Li Yuan's blood surged when he saw Ying Qi's scene, and his eyes went dark. At that moment, he wanted to hold Ying Qi, but he only grabbed a phantom in his hand, and Ying Qi had already rushed behind Li Yuan. , and slashed together with the Chenshaman who slashed over with a knife.

No amount of speed or trickery can resist against absolute power. The opponent is already crushing, and they are just fighting in a corner, burning the last drop of decent blood for the glory of their master.

Li Yuan watched with his own eyes that when Ying Qi jumped up and turned around to cut a sword, a person behind him grabbed a leg, Ying Qi turned around and slashed, and the sword that cut gold and broken jade could only hit the man's throat Leaving two shallow traces, Ying Qi was grabbed by both legs and smashed to the ground hard. The other party gave him a cold look, raised his foot and stepped on his kneecap, this will definitely destroy him all at once. legs.

His Xiao Qi was about to become disabled in front of him.

Li Yuan couldn't bear the suffering any longer, he turned over and rolled over, the Wuye Bow in his hand was tightly wrapped around the man's neck, the muscles of Li Yuan's arms were tense, and the veins in his temples were bulging, he strangled his neck with the bowstring, saw and crushed him Pulling, Li Yuan tried every method that could cut a person's neck.

Li Mo was startled by the sudden change, and whispered to his hidden guard: "Quick, hurry up and help him."

The man was so strangled that his eyes turned white, and he grabbed Li Yuan behind him with both hands, and when he landed on the ground, his foot was crooked, and stepped on Ying Qi's belly, Ying Qi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his body twitched and convulsed, and he had no strength to resist. .

Li Yuan immediately let go, jumped off the man, picked up Ying Qi and retreated.

Looking back at the deep and silent canyon, there were bloodstains all over the place, and the rest of the ghost guards could no longer stand up, only Ying Wu and An Xi held their breath.

Li Yuan half-kneeled on the ground, hugging Ying Qi tightly in his arms, Ying Qi could only feel his viscera throbbing with severe pain, the corners of his mouth kept dripping with blood foam, his pupils were dilated, and he twitched and leaned against Li Yuan's arms.

"...Does it hurt? Does it hurt baby?" Li Yuan's eyes were all red. Holding his cheek with his hands, he hugged his only treasure tightly in his arms, as if this could strangle his soul and keep his lover's life that quickly passed away and burned to the end.

Ying Qi's eyes were blurred, and the voice he heard seemed to be separated by a curtain of water. He wanted to raise his hand to touch His Highness's face, wondering if he would still shed tears for him, but he felt that his strength had been completely exhausted.

Li Yuan looked at his withered ghost guards all over the ground in pain, and shouted at him in a low voice: "Stop beating. Tell me what you want."

The other party said in unproficient Chinese: "Please come back with us, Your Royal Highnesses, the leader of the negotiation will personally negotiate with your emperor."

They wanted the prince and son as hostages, threatened Dacheng to withdraw his troops, and ceded the city to provide gold, silver and grain. It's just that they don't know how tortured and humiliated these two precious hostages will be in their barbarian prison.

Li Mo gripped the antler bow tightly, and said contemptuously: "Delusion." The Lingnan prince's character is like this, it is easy to die in battle, but difficult to endure humiliation.

But Li Yuan hugged Ying Qi and said in a hoarse voice: "I am willing, let me go by myself." His eyes were already bloodshot and extremely tired, as if he could cry two lines of blood tears with just a light touch, his eyes were as dark as deep ravines , without hope.

Li Mo glared at Li Yuan fiercely, but couldn't think of any reason to refute.

If they lost, any strategy would be futile, and the disparity in strength could not even be compensated by tactics.

Li Yuan felt that Ying Qi was grabbing his clothes hard. He lowered his head against Ying Qi's forehead covered with cold sweat, and took away the hand that was clutched on his lapel. When he grabbed his wrist, he was reluctant to let go, and he began to regret the cruel words he said to him. He just felt that he had been hurt, but he never thought about the unavoidable reason why this little shadow guard lied to him.

If a person can sacrifice his life for himself, there is no reason for him not to forgive. Li Yuan forgot the previous resentment and disappointment for a moment, and at this moment he only hoped that his Xiao Qi was fine.

Li Yuan took Ying Qi's hand and kissed his scarred palm.

Ying Qi's throat was blocked by blood, he could only make a hoarse voice, he begged Li Yuan: "Your Highness...don't...go over..."

Anxi stared blankly at this scene, and suddenly felt that the flattery he had just now was a bit cheap, so there is still such a favor in the world, the master would hug him without hesitation, kiss his blood-stained cheek, even if he didn't say a word, he could still see it. It can be seen that Li Yuan is comforting Ying Qi, and will hold his hand, willing to give up his dignity in exchange for the lives of a few lowly guards.

Since he was a child, he longed for his master to look directly at him. It is so difficult. It turns out that there are still shadow guards in this world who are lucky enough to be here, and those who protect him with their lives are also hurting him.

Wei Cheng dragged the medicine box and crawled over with difficulty, using slightly trembling hands to support and heal Ying Qi whose life was hanging by a thread, but Li Yuan put down Ying Qi and walked towards him.

"Your Highness!" Ying Qi desperately crawled over, suddenly coughing violently, his vision was blurred, and he coughed up a puddle of blood.

He suddenly grabbed Wei Cheng's hand like crazy, and shouted hoarsely: "Give me! Medicine! Give me that medicine!"

Wei Cheng was stunned. He had never seen Ying Qi who was as crazy as a hungry wolf. The next moment he understood what Ying Qi wanted. When it came out, Wei Cheng held the small porcelain bottle tightly, and Ying Qi grabbed it with his weak body: "At least let me try..."

Wei Cheng pursed his lips and reluctantly let go.

The porcelain bottle did not fall into Ying Qi's hands.

Ying Qi glanced back, bit off the wax seal secretly, and swallowed the whole bottle of purified snow orchids.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of translucent scales grew on the back of Anxi's hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wound on his body was healing rapidly. At this time, the sharp arrow of the opponent's archer had arrived in front of Anxi, and he stood on tiptoe. The ground suddenly disappeared, and the next moment it appeared above the arrows galloping in the air, and disappeared again, and when it appeared, it had leaped tens of feet away.

An arrow hit Anxi's chest, and it hit Anxi's chest, unable to penetrate any more into the flesh and blood, Anxi flew forward with the arrow, and the sand-sinking archer was pierced through the throat by Anxi's left hand wearing the green-gold thorn finger in an instant.

Everyone was shocked by Anxi's sudden burst of astonishing strength. Like the mice and foxes that Wei Cheng used to test the medicine, he was covered in scales, extremely ferocious, and his strength was doubled. He did not bleed when he was seriously injured, and he was invulnerable.

As soon as Anxi fell to the ground, the five sand-sinking warriors around her died out of breath and fell heavily to the ground.

Like a lone wolf breaking into a flock of sheep.

Ying Wu supported the wound on his shoulder and said to himself in amazement: "I/fuck, it's so fierce, give me a bucket of this medicine too..."

Li Mo suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Wei Cheng and asked sharply, "What the hell did you feed him?!"

Wei Cheng was so frightened that his tongue tied up: "I, I, I..."

Li Yuan, who had already walked to the side of the Shensha tribe, took advantage of the sudden change in the situation and leaned over to pick up the Wu Yebow at his feet. Ying Si was best at observing the situation, even if the chance was slim, he could make Ying Si make a decision in an instant.He struggled to pull out the nine-section whip from his waist, and flicked it vigorously. The tip of the whip wrapped around Li Yuan's wrist, and threw His Royal Highness to the place closest to his quiver.

Li Yuan grabbed the seven heavy peony arrows from the quiver and quickly stepped on the steep conglomerate. The moment the seven peony arrows hit the strings in the air, the sound of Wu Yemingsha's bow strings clanked, and the snow-white bow strings His whole body was stained rosy by the blood from Li Yuan's fingertips.

The seven arrows were fired at once, and the sound of the wind was accompanied by a long and sharp howl. The sound of the long howl was like a falcon spreading its wings, Qingming under the wings.

There is a bursting sound in the arrow, the arrow is like a peony in full bloom, every elegant petal is transformed into a poisonous sharp blade, and the sky is like rain in an instant, falling flowers and people's heads, all-pervasive, cunning and venomous beyond compare.

This archery technique is the swan song of Li Chongjing, the king of Qi, which broke through the army with one arrow among the galloping horses.

The narrow corner of the gorge has completely become a dark slaughter/slaughter/field, and people are constantly falling to the ground with poisoned arrows, and then the back of the head is smashed by Anxi's hand, Anxi has become a hell of harvesting people's heads, and the clear and mischievous eyes gradually lost their whites , was replaced by pitch black, and the tiny scales on his body continued to fall off, revealing the bright red flesh and blood underneath.

Until the 110 and [-] soldiers of the Shensha tribe were wiped out, Anxi was like a fish in a dry rut, the tiny scales on his body were mottled by the fishermen, and he stood quietly among the corpses everywhere, his hands and fists were bloody and bloody, almost exposing the bones.

He just stood there so quietly, under the shadow of the first ray of moonlight at night, he looked back at Li Mo and smiled.

The contempt in Li Mo's eyes was no longer there, he lost his last bit of composure, ran over the corpse, touched Anxi with his fingertips, and took him into his arms.

Li Mo's eyes were at a loss, showing a sad expression that only belonged to young people, his lips trembled, and he groped to grab Anxi's hand.

He grabbed it, but when he held it in front of him, he only saw a skeleton hand bone, slender and gentle, wearing a row of green gold spikes.

"Ah." Li Mo's back felt cold, and he saw Anxi's flesh and blood slowly disappearing from the skeleton, starting from the tip of his left finger, melting into fly ash.

Wei Cheng covered his face with tears streaming from his fingers. He never thought of using his medical skills to kill people, so he shouldn't have developed such a drug that destroys humanity by chance.

Ying Qi stared blankly at An Xi, if he hadn't snatched it away, it would be himself who was gradually turning into dust in the arms of his master, he should have told An Xi that there was no cure for this medicine.

An Xi seemed to see through Ying Qi's eyes, turned back and smiled and said, "I know that's the end. When I went to visit Little Fifth Brother, I passed by you and made small talk, so I heard it."

Ying Qi's eyes became deep, and he looked at him blankly.

Secretly said: "I lost to you at the Beijing rally, and the bet is my name."

"My name is Jiang Tianxin, and I follow my mother's surname."

Ying Qi's red eyes widened even further, and he punched the ground below him hard. He struggled to crawl over and grab his collar. He wanted to question him, but he didn't know what else to say.

Li Mo gritted his teeth and pushed Ying Qi away, hugged An Xi in his arms, and walked silently on the way back to the camp.

Anxi rested her head on Li Mo's shoulder in exhaustion and fear, and closed her eyes in relief.

Li Mo looked at the endless road ahead and asked softly, "Do you want to go home?"

He closed his eyes secretly and said: "This subordinate wants to go back to Lingnan Prince's Mansion."

Li Mo kept walking, and the person in his arms became lighter and lighter. He felt that the lighter the person in his arms, the faster his steps. He wanted to catch up with the speed at which Anxi disappeared. There is no beginning and no end.

She secretly asked him with a smile: "Your Highness, is your subordinate really that useless?"

Li Mo said: "You are my best hidden guard."

After all, there was only a smiling skeleton left in Li Mo's arms, peacefully leaning on it.
