I knocked my own cp[entertainment circle]

??【Ying Yuanxue seemed absent-minded all day long. At night, the two of them walked to the riverside. The place was crowded with people. There were lanterns and festoons along both sides of the river, and smiling lovers could be seen everywhere.

??Xiao Shuwu didn't like crowds, he raised his feet and wanted to walk towards a place where there were few people, but Ying Yuanxue took his hand suddenly, his eyes flickered: "My lord, let's go over there and look at the lights."

??The place where the lights gather is also the place with the densest flow of people. Xiao Shuwu frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse, but his eyes fell on Ying Yuanxue's jade-like face, and suddenly he could not utter the words of refusal.

??He was dragged there obediently by Ying Yuanxue. There was a peddler selling lotus lanterns. Seeing the two interlocking fingers, the peddler squinted his eyes and smiled knowingly: "My lords, do you want to buy a lotus lantern?" ? Bless you for a long time."

??Ying Yuanxue kept looking around vigilantly, and perfunctorily said to the peddler: "No need."

"Why not?" Xiao Shuwu raised his eyebrows lightly, took out the money and handed it to the peddler, "Take two, you don't have to look for the money."

The peddler immediately smiled, and picked two large and exquisite lamps for the two, and said: "Each write each other's name on the lotus lamp, and the two young masters will be united forever and never be separated."

The peddler is used to saying nice things. Xiao Shuwu didn't like such nonsense at first, maybe because he was influenced by the surrounding atmosphere today, he was elated for a while, and gave the peddler another piece of silver, and then talked with Ying Yuan Xue wrote each other's names respectively.

?? When the tip of the pen fell on the lotus lamp, Ying Yuanxue's wrist trembled, and she hurriedly raised the pen and said, "This lamp should be written by the lord and princess, so it's my turn to write."

?? "I don't have a concubine," Xiao Shuwu said with a calm face, "If you want to write, write quickly, don't shirk."

??Ying Yuanxue tilted her head and stared at him for a while, smiled with complicated emotions, and wrote down the three words "Xiao Shuwu" solemnly.

The two of them put the river lanterns into the water together like ordinary couples. Xiao Shuwu looked at the lotus lanterns drifting away, with a soft smile on his face: "The lotus lanterns are very close, does it mean that you and I will be together forever?" Won't we be separated?"

??Ying Yuanxue smiled and said: "If this is the case, Yuanxue will really go to the temple to thank the Buddha for his protection."

??Xiao Shuwu smiled, turned his head and picked up his long hair scattered around his shoulders: "It's up to man, why bother to pray to God and worship Buddha." He leaned into Ying Yuanxue's ear, "This king has promised that I will never doubt you in this life."

??Ying Yuanxue froze her smile and nodded.

??Xiao Shuwu said softly: "Then when will Yuan Xue tell me your true origin?"

?? The wind suddenly picked up, blowing and wrinkling the calm river surface.In a burst of sudden coolness, Ying Yuanxue clearly saw that the lotus lanterns that the two were close to each other floated to both sides.

?? He lowered his eyes, "One day..."

??Xiao Shuwu clasped his chin: "When?"

??Ying Yuanxue closed her eyes.

??Xiao Shuwu's heart was a little cold, but he didn't force him anymore.He held Ying Yuanxue's cold fingertips, and said lightly: "It's getting cold, let's go back."

??Ying Yuanxue walked quietly beside him.

?? On the way back, Xiao Shuwu heard the sound of footsteps all around, which was very soft, and if it wasn't for someone with superb hearing, he would not have noticed it.He is good at martial arts, but he can only hear faint voices and cannot judge the number of opponents.

??Ying Yuanxue was held by him with one hand and placed on his waist with the other, as if ready to draw his sword at any time.

?? The two didn't bring guards when they went out because they didn't want to be disturbed.There are quite a few people around now, and with just the two of them, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape.

??Xiao Shuwu kept thinking of a way to escape in his mind, but before the result came out, those people could no longer hold back, and appeared from all directions, with the short moon scimitar in their hands glowing coldly.

??A total of eight people, all in black clothes and black scarves covering their faces, the head of the person walked almost silently, Ying Yuanxue's eyebrows turned cold, and she stood in front of Xiao Shuwu, facing that person.

"A Yuan," the man said, his voice hoarse like a crow, "why didn't you do it by the river."

"What are you talking about?" Ying Yuanxue frowned, pretending to be stupid, and staring at him coldly.

??The eight people gradually narrowed the range of the circle, and they were all taken aback when they heard these words.They looked at each other, and the leader laughed out loud like a ghost.

?? "Don't pretend to be stupid, here, finish him, and then you go to ask the king of Northern Qi for credit, just say that you killed Xiao Shuwu, and he will reward you." The man said humanely.

??Ying Yuanxue felt Xiao Shuwu's aura suddenly sink, he gritted his teeth, and said to the man: "Brother, now is not the time."

"It's not the time?" The voice of the commander of the Southern Security Guard suddenly tightened, "Nine of us are fighting against him, and you say it's not the time? Ying Yuanxue, don't tell me, you came undercover and paid for yourself."

??Xiao Shuwu's breathing changed, and a cold gaze hit him behind him, so sharp that it was about to punch a hole in his chest.

??Ying Yuanxue felt all the changes in Xiao Shuwu, but she didn't dare to turn her head back. She could only bite the bullet and explain to the leader: "His Royal Highness Chong wants to cooperate with our monarch. I have written a secret letter on this matter, but I haven't sent it yet. go back."

??The commander snorted coldly: "It's not necessary. Kill him today, and then kill the Northern Qi monarch in a few days. When the Northern Qi Dynasty is in chaos, I can send my troops back to the north to flatten the Northern Qi."

"It's not that easy," Ying Yuanxue argued, "If I kill him, Xiao Shushao will definitely think that my value is exhausted, and kill me directly or drive me out of the capital. Who will be able to sneak into Northern Qi again then?" The palace, to assassinate Xiao Shushao?"

?? "Stop talking nonsense," the commander's voice barely fluctuated, as if stating a fact, "A Yuan, you betrayed."

??Ying Yuanxue gritted her teeth and said nothing.

?? He did not betray.

?? he thought.

?? From the beginning to the end, he was only loyal to one person, and this person stood behind him, and he never betrayed.

??Now that Nanhui has sent top secret guards to attack them, presumably the lord of Nanhui has made up his mind to kill Xiao Shuwu.

?? He had to think of a way to protect Xiao Shuwu and escape from the sky safe and sound.

??The commander stared at him coldly, smiled suddenly, took out a small bottle from his arms, shook it and said, "I have two purposes for coming this time. One, to kill Xiao Shuwu; two, to deliver medicine to you. "

?? "Your antidote is almost finished?"

??Ying Yuanxue calculated countless ways in her mind, but did not reply.

"What antidote?" Xiao Shuwu asked suddenly.

??Ying Yuanxue was startled, and turned to look at Xiao Shuwu, only to see that the other party was looking at him with a frown, with a serious expression: "What antidote?"

??Ying Yuanxue smiled weakly, wanted to say nothing, but when the words came to her lips, she thought of Xiao Shuwu's "I don't doubt you anymore", and felt unable to say it.

?? Xiao Shuwu has already guessed.

??The dark guards of the Southern Hui sneaked into the Northern Qi Dynasty. If there were no sufficient conditions as a guarantee, which monarch would dare to use this knife with confidence.

??He looked at the bottle in the hands of the commander of the dark guards back to the south, thinking in his mind how to snatch the bottle of antidote.

?? But the next moment, the commander in black threw the porcelain bottle in his hand to the ground, and the black pills rolled out.Suddenly, there was an extremely strong internal force all over him, and the pills that were supposed to roll away all stopped in place.

?? He picked up the fragments of the porcelain bottle with the toe of his shoe, and then put his feet down hard. The antidote, which was regarded as the most precious treasure by the Southern Guards, was crushed to the ground and turned into a puddle of mud.

??Xiao Shuwu's body froze, and a powerful murderous aura erupted from his whole body.And Ying Yuanxue just watched the leader's movements lightly, without any surprise in her eyes.

"Okay, it's really you." The commander looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, then stopped laughing and said, "When I picked you up on the border of Northern Qi, I saw the madness and despair in your eyes, and I knew that you would be The sharpest knife I have ever had."

"It's a pity that this knife is now someone else's." The commander seemed to sigh lightly, pointing his fingers over the tip of the knife, before he finished speaking, his body moved suddenly, like an arrow flying from the string, rushing towards Ying Yuanxue.

??The other seven people moved with the sound and bullied them in one fell swoop. The eight people were like a dark night, covering Xiao Shuwu and Ying Yuanxue in between.

??These eight people are the top leaders of the Southern Dark Guard. Ying Yuanxue prides himself on his superb martial arts skills, but he can barely block two or three of them, not to mention that the commander whose martial arts skills are far above him is also here.

??He and Xiao Shuwu tried their best to block for a while, and many wounds were drawn on their bodies, and bright red blood gushed out from all parts of their bodies.

?? When the two were back to back, Xiao Shuwu quickly said: "You give in and go with them."

??Ying Yuanxue smelled the bloody smell on his body, and suddenly smiled: "If I leave, who will I serve as king in the future?"

??Xiao Shuwu's whole body tensed up, and he wanted to say a few more words, but Ying Yuanxue jumped out suddenly, directly meeting the attacking commander.

??The commander was also taken aback, and then laughed: "Okay, let me see how much you have grown in the past ten years."

??Ying Yuanxue smiled sweetly, and when she was in close contact with the commander, her body suddenly twisted into an extremely tricky curve, directly slashing the commander's blade, and flashed to the commander's side.

??The commander immediately attacked sideways, but Ying Yuanxue didn't dodge. He cut a knife wound on his chest and reached out to a jade gourd pinned to his waist.

??But in the blink of an eye, Ying Yuanxue flicked off the gourd's cap, raised her head and poured all the liquid in the bottle into her mouth.

?? "You!" The commander was shocked, and he slashed at Ying Yuanxue's arm, but it was too late, the jade bottle that fell on the ground was broken into pieces, and there was very little left.

??Xiao Shuwu said in astonishment during the battle with the other seven people: "Yuanxue!"

??A thread of red overflowed from the corner of Ying Yuanxue's mouth. He breathed out twice, clenched the soft sword in his hand, and then rushed forward to the leader of the hidden guard.

?? This time, his strength was more tyrannical than before. The commander raised his knife to block, but was forced back several feet by him before he managed to stabilize his footsteps.

?? "Brother!" A hidden guard shouted to the commander.

"I can't retreat!" The commander said viciously, "The medicine can only last for half an hour. After half an hour, Ying Yuanxue will die of exhaustion, so support me!"

??The crowd fought together again, Ying Yuanxue's skill suddenly increased, and three or four hidden guards bullied him, but he still felt powerless.

??In less than half an hour, all the eight hidden guards who came to attack were cut by Ying Yuanxue's sword, and he and Xiao Shuwu almost became two blood men.

??Until the commander fell down staring at a pair of unwilling eyes, Ying Yuanxue's body swayed, unable to hold the weapon in his hand any longer, and the soft sword fell to the ground with a clang.

??Xiao Shuwu hurriedly hugged him into his arms, Ying Yuanxue held on to the last sliver of clarity, and ordered: "The desk...the secret compartment, there is a letter, pass it on for me..."

??Before he finished speaking, he directly fainted in Xiao Shuwu's arms.

?? After a fierce battle, Xiao Shuwu's physical strength and internal strength have already been exhausted, and an unknown amount of blood has flowed from his body. He gritted his teeth, supported Ying Yuanxue, and walked towards the palace step by step.

??Everyone in the palace had not waited for the master to return, a small group of guards was patrolling along the road, and happened to see Xiao Shuwu and Ying Yuanxue who were soaked in blood.

??Xiao Shuwu always hugged Ying Yuanxue tightly, no matter how much his subordinates persuaded him, he refused to let go and hand it over to them. He held back the blood surging in his chest, and ordered: "Go and clean up over there."]
