The prince is hard to serve

Jiang Xi's tour this time is very powerful.

An Yi knew that this was to divert Shi Buyuan's attention, so that Yan Wenhao and his group could reach Jiangnan without being discovered.

For this protection, An Yi still hid in the dark and didn't show up, only occasionally appearing beside Jiang Xi at night, protecting him personally.

The guard of honor walked and stopped, as if they were really on patrol, and wherever they went, Jiang Xi visited and investigated seriously, and even solved several unjust cases and dealt with several county magistrates who knew the law and violated the law.

When Jiang Xi was doing these things, An Yi followed him, watched him quietly, and protected him with a protective attitude.

This already satisfied An Yi very much.

Because of Jiang Xi's conscientiousness and responsibility, it was already more than half a month before the team arrived in Yangzhou.

Yan Wenhao and the others have already arrived in Suzhou first.

Originally, Jiang Xi wanted to go directly to Suzhou after a full day's rest in Yangzhou, but because it had been raining during this period, the rain washed down the rocks on the mountain and blocked the official road leading to Suzhou, so it was impossible to go to Suzhou. Walking, in desperation, had to stay in Yangzhou.

Tang Zhuang got the news early in the morning, knowing that the imperial envoy would arrive today, so he led many squires and subordinate officials to wait outside the post station to welcome them, but they just waited and disappeared.

Tang Zhuang's group waited for half an hour before they finally saw the shadow of the imperial guard of honor, so they quickly straightened their backs again, put on a smile, and when they saw Jiang Xi getting off the carriage, they raised their smiles to flatter them go up.

After some compliments, Tang Zhuang put forward the invitation with a smile, confidently thinking that Jiang Xi would agree.

Unexpectedly, after Jiang Xi finished listening, she shook her head and smiled faintly, saying that she was not feeling well, so she shirked the night's banquet.

Sitting on a branch not far away, An Yi saw this scene in his eyes, and recalled Jiang Xi's analysis with himself a few days ago, and felt that it was very accurate, so he couldn't help but nodded and laughed.

In the next few days, due to the continuous rain, the official road was not cleared because no one was clearing it.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Jiang Xi took An Yi to walk through Yangzhou City. Yangzhou is very prosperous and lively. Walking on the street, people come and go, but I can't find much fault.

In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.

On the seventh day, the official road to Suzhou finally resumed.

It was also on this day that An Yi stood beside Jiang Xi in an upright manner, accompanying him and protecting him.

At night, they sat on the roof together and watched the moon.

When sitting with Jiang Xi, An Yi could feel that after these days of getting along, Jiang Xi had already regarded himself as a friend. He was happy with this change, and he thought that one day, there would be peace between them. go one step further...

Such a leisurely time always passes quickly, but Anichi really hopes that it can pass more slowly.

After leaving Yangzhou, An Yi knew that the road ahead would not be peaceful anymore. Sure enough, after walking for a day, they were attacked.

Simply speaking, the attack this time was not so much an attack as a reminder, it didn't really intend to hurt them. Except for a few people in the team who were slightly injured, there was nothing else.

However, An Yi still checked Jiang Xi up and down carefully, and after making sure that he was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Regarding this, Jiang Xi was only taken aback for a moment, and after regaining his senses, he smiled and condoned An Yi's behavior again.

After repairing on the spot for a while and bandaging the wounds of the injured, Jiang Xi ordered to set off, but because the carriage was damaged during the fight, only the horses were left, so he could only ride a horse if he wanted to continue on the road.

Jiang Xi didn't know how to ride a horse, so looking at the tall horse, he frowned, and was in trouble for a while.

As soon as An An saw it, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xi pointed to the brown horse in front of him, wondering: "...Actually, I don't know how to ride a horse." He is a civil servant and has been in the capital for a long time.

An Yi thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, I'll ask An Wu to find a carriage, let's rest for a while, wait for the carriage to arrive, and then set off."

Jiang Xi looked at him for a while, smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, I will ride a horse with you today, and when you have free time, you can teach me how to ride a horse."

When An An heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he was overjoyed. Looking at the smile on Jiang Xi's face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "Okay, I'll teach you."

When he spoke, his usually expressionless face also showed a little smile, which softened his whole person a lot.

Afterwards, An Yi brought his own horse, sat on it first, then bent down, pulled Jiang Xi up, and let Jiang Xi sit in front of him.

When stretching out his arms around Jiang Xi's waist, An Yi hoped from the bottom of his heart that he could freeze time at this moment.

When the imperial envoy's team arrived in Suzhou, it happened to be the day when Yan Wenhao and the others did their work. On that day, they successfully captured Shi Buyuan's evidence, captured Shi Buyuan, and also captured officials who had a relationship with Shi Buyuan. .

After that, Jiang Xi got up so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. It was already half a month after Shi Buyuan's case was finally settled.

At that time, it had already turned into November, and the beginning of winter had passed.

At this time, all the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River were settled, and Jiang Xi also received a letter from Yan Wenhao, asking him to rush back to the capital.

Before leaving Jiangnan, Jiang Xi had a rare day of leisure, so he invited An Yi to accompany him out for a walk.

At this moment, Jiang Xi was actually vaguely aware of An Yi's thoughts, and he wanted to take this opportunity to talk to An Yi.He didn't want to lose this friend if he could.

The south is different from the north in that winter comes later, so even after the beginning of winter, the weather in Suzhou will not be cold.

After getting Anyi's consent, Jiang Xi went to change into a simple robe, and then went out with Anyi.

The two walked side by side, An Yi never spoke much, so Jiang Xi didn't speak, and he was quiet all the way.

Before they knew it, they had passed through the bustling market and came to the lakeside. The lake was green and clear. When they looked up, they could see many boats floating in the middle of the lake. There were many young masters and ladies on board, and they were swimming in the lake. .

Jiang Xi stood and watched for a while, and heard the sound of silk and bamboo wind music coming from his ears, so he simply found a clean place by the lake, sat on the ground, and beckoned to the dark, signaling him to come and sit too. Down, and then propped his chin with one hand, closed his eyes, and listened quietly.

Just listening to this tune fluctuates from time to time, from beginning to end, it is gentle and soft, it is really refreshing.

After An Yi sat down, seeing Jiang Xi closed his eyes, he stared at Jiang Xi boldly. Although there was not much expression on his face, his eyes were full of deep affection.

At this moment, Jiang Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and An Yi didn't have time to hide the affection in his eyes, so he directly crashed into the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, and he was stunned.

A trace of complexity flashed in Jiang Xi's eyes. He took the lead to look away, and then set his eyes on the lake not far away. After a while, he said softly: "An Yi, I used to like a woman, and I do like it." 20 years."

An Yi's eyes darkened, and he replied, "I know."

Jiang Xi stared at the lake in a daze, and slowly said: "Although she hurt me to the extreme, she always just used me, but the feelings that have been given are not so easy to take back and forget. Although I let go of the past, but now, I still can't let go of it." To accept a new relationship."

Jiang Xi said again: "You treat me very well, I know, but I have always regarded you as a friend."

There was a little bitterness in An Yi's heart, he replied: "I know."

Hearing the sadness in An Yi's words, Jiang Xi felt sore, "The reason why I choose to explain to you today is that I hope you can re-examine our relationship." After a pause, he sighed again , then hardened his heart and continued: "Until you think it through, we still don't want to see each other again."

He didn't want to give An a hope, otherwise he would be like him in the past, in the end, what he got was full of despair.

"it is good."

Barely suppressing the sourness and loss in his heart, An Yi stood up, and he said seriously: "After escorting you back to the capital, I will leave." However, when you need me, I will be there, this sentence, he did not say come out.

Hearing this, Jiang Xi gave an 'um', and then stopped talking.

When returning from the lakeside, they were no longer side by side, and An Yi hid again, becoming the invisible guard.

On this day, he never showed up again.

Although Jiang Xi couldn't see An Yi, he knew that An Yi must be around him. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly ached, but he knew that no matter what, he really couldn't accept a new relationship. Emotional.

Therefore, instead of letting An Yi wait indefinitely, it is better not to give him any hope from the beginning.

Because, without hope, there will be no disappointment, let alone despair.

After nightfall, Jiang Xi went to bed early, ready to fall asleep.

In a daze, Jiang Xi suddenly felt very hot, and heard a burst of noise from outside, and woke up suddenly. He saw himself in the middle of the fire, and his hands and feet were tied again. Not at all afraid--

He instinctively believed that An Yi would come to save him.

There were too many things that could be burned in the house, and it seemed that they were all poured with kerosene, so they burned very quickly, but within a short while, the whole house had already been turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Jiang Xi looked at the fire that was burning bigger and bigger. Although he didn't panic and was calm, he was still choked by the smoke, coughed violently, and frowned.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe soon, Jiang Xi only felt that his eyes were getting blurred, and his head was hurting, but at this moment, he saw someone looking for him quickly, he opened his eyes hard, and saw the coming After finding out who the person in front of him was, he finally curled the corners of his mouth, opened it again, called An Yi softly, and then passed out completely.

******

When Jiang Xi woke up, it was already the time of the next day.

Sitting on the head of the bed, Jiang Xi looked up at the maid who was serving her in front of her, and asked, "Was the person who came in to save me last night injured?" He still remembered that the fire was very big at that time.

The servant girl didn't dare to hide it, and replied honestly: "My lord, the guard who saved you was seriously injured and has not woken up yet."

Jiang Xi was anxious, forgot to worry, grabbed the servant girl and asked, "He was injured? But was he burned by the fire?"

The servant girl was startled, shivered, and quickly replied: "He was not only burned, but also wounded by a sword. After I carried you out, he bled a lot, his whole body was covered with blood..."

Jiang Xi's face turned pale, and he couldn't sit still any longer. He was about to get up from the bed immediately, but the little servant girl saw it and quickly stopped her: "My lord, you can't come down. The doctor said you can't get out of bed yet."

Jiang Xi ignored her at all. After getting out of bed, she went straight out the door, even forgetting to put on her shoes.

At this moment, the only thought left in his mind was to see An Yi.

Jiang Xi forgot, he didn't know where An Yi was now, he just walked around like a headless chicken for a long time, his feet were worn out, but he seemed to have forgotten the pain, and there was only anxiety on his face.

The servant girl took the shoes and chased Jiang Xi all the way, finally caught up with him, and hurriedly begged: "My lord, your feet..."

Interrupting her, Jiang Xi asked, "Where is An Yi?"

The servant girl didn't know who An Yi was, so she just looked at Jiang Xi blankly. After a while, she finally came to her senses and replied, "The guard is assigned to the room next to you, sir."

Hearing this, Jiang Xi was overjoyed, and left in a hurry.

This movement finally alarmed the others. A man who looked like a general came over. After looking at Jiang Xi, he saluted him and frowned randomly: "Master Jiang, why are you here?"

He is a general of the Imperial Guard sent by Emperor Yan to protect Jiangxi, named Zhao Da.

Jiang Xi just glanced at him, but didn't answer. His current thoughts are all on An Yi alone.

Zhao Da saw that Jiang Xi didn't answer, so he turned to look at the maid beside him. The maid didn't dare to hide it, so she said it in detail.

Just as they were talking over there, Jiang Xi had already entered the house. He came to the bed, looked at An Yi who had no blood on his face, felt a sudden pain in his heart, couldn't control it anymore, and shed tears.

Only now did he finally understand how much weight An Yi had in his heart.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jiang Xi lowered his head and watched the lying on the bed quietly. He was unconscious for a while, and after a long time, he asked, "What happened last night? Dark one, why did you get hurt so badly?" "

Zhao Da replied: "A dozen assassins came to the mansion last night. He was the first to discover the assassins and started fighting with them. Later, when he heard that your house was on fire, my lord, he was caught by the assassins for a while. I stabbed him once, but the assassin didn't get any benefit and was killed. After finishing the assassin, he rushed to your lord and rescued you from the sea of ​​fire. Because I wanted to protect you, my whole body was exposed to the fire..."

After Jiang Xi heard this, his eyes darkened, and he waved his hand to signal them to go down.

"Yes." In response, Zhao Da and the servant girl backed out as promised.

After Zhao Da and the maid left, only Jiang Xi and An Yi were left in the room.

Looking at An Yi without blinking, Jiang Xi's heart softened into pieces. He has never been treated so dearly in his life, only An Yi treats him like a treasure, even disregarding his life.

Bending down, Jiang Xi grabbed An Yi's hand, pressed it to her cheek, and whispered: "Wake up quickly, when you wake up, I will tell you my heart, the real heart..."

Opening his eyes, An Yi said weakly: "...What's your intention?"

Jiang Xi subconsciously said: "I like you too." After the words fell, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the secretly smiling eyes, his eyes turned red, and said: "You are awake, fortunately, you are awake. "He was a little incoherent.

He held Jiang Xi's hand, looked at him secretly, and asked seriously: "Is what you said just now true?" There was deep expectation hidden in his eyes.

Jiang Xi looked at him, smiled, then lightly rested his head on An Yi's chest, nodded and said: "It's true."

Jiang Xi said: "I also have you in my heart."

The author has something to say: This is the end of Jiang Xi and An Yi's episode.

Tomorrow is Xie Jingyu and Ah Lin.

Well, there are bugs to catch tomorrow, so good night =3=
