Proudly follow your heart

I say almost because it's not perfect.

It is indeed slender and well-proportioned, as if carefully crafted by a skilled craftsman, it glows faintly under the sun, like a sharp weapon, but there is a scar on the palm.

This scar is slightly raised, vaguely, like a pair of wings.

Its wings soar like an eagle, destroying the original perfection, but adding another meaning. One day, Nangong Cangao caressed it and asked with a smile, "Look, Zhanran, does it look like a bird?" eagle?"

"You want to say that my scar is because of you, and this eagle is you, and this is the trace that proves that I belong exclusively to you?" Anticipating what Nangong Cang Ao would say, Jun Zhanran could not have answered more fluently .

"The one who knows me is Zhan Ran." Nangong Cang Ao raised his head and laughed loudly. When the laughter died down, he suddenly fell silent and kissed his palm tenderly.

That day, the sun fell on Jun Zhanran's palm, which was slightly red with a pale golden light. Under this light, it seemed that the blood flow under the skin could be seen.

Nangong Cang Ao's lips were hot, burning a piece of fire in his palm.

The palm is also hot, hot as a fire, but at this moment when Jun Zhanran made a move, it was like cold needles shooting all over the place.

Everyone raised their heads, only heard the sound of whoosh piercing through the air, but did not see their bodies, dozens of people had fallen to the ground and died, Feng Jixiu was the first to bear the brunt, although he knew the danger was approaching, he was powerless, and suddenly dozens of streams of blood shot out from his body.

The blood came from the joints of the shoulders, legs, and elbows. The dozens of blood and tears seemed to come out of nowhere. Seeing this, many people thought of the rumors about the hidden weapon used by Jun Zhanran.

No one has seen what his hidden weapon is, and now they watched this scene happen with their own eyes, but they still couldn't see what the hidden weapon came out of his hand, and even Feng Jixiu couldn't see any trace of the hidden weapon on his body.

Only Nangong Cang Ao knew that using qi as a tool to make it as real as it would require considerable consumption, and Jun Zhan would never have done so if he hadn't been extremely angry.

"Zhanran! Come back!" He was afraid that he would consume too much, so Nangong Cangao immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "It's better to save some strength to deal with these people brought by Feng Jixiu, besides, your leg injury hasn't healed yet ? Don't mess around!"

"I know my body." Jun Zhanran is not a person who listens to persuasion, at least not now, his lips are curved like a hook, and his sneer is faint, "Feng Jixiu, I can save your life, but if you want Bring Mu Zhaoxia personally."

"Are you going to kill her?" Feng Jixiu looked at the man in front of him, and for some reason, he suddenly had this feeling.

He felt the killing intent, but he didn't know whether the killing intent was directed at him or Mu Zhaoxia.

kill her?Jun Zhanran didn't think about it, and didn't know what his actions made Feng Jixiu have such a guess, "Then do you want to save her life, or your own life?"

He asked slowly, without explaining, the indifference and coldness in the eyebrows and eyes made people have no doubts, what he meant by this sentence was to admit that he was going to kill Mu Zhaoxia.

"What a cruel heart! Ghost Hand Wushuang Jun Zhanran, Lord Jun, will not let a woman go!" Feng Jixiu was in unbearable pain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I came here under orders to arrest people , but it’s not her, but you two! Nangong Cangao, Jun Zhanran! Kill me if you dare! Even if I die, I can’t live up to His Majesty’s entrustment!”

Unexpectedly, this Feng Jixiu turned out to be a foolish and loyal person, not afraid of death.

Jun Zhanran glanced at him indifferently, "Huangde won't thank you even if you die, your death is worthless."

"If you kill me, His Majesty will send people, and eventually one day Lord Lin Nan will send people, and then you will have no place to stay!" Feng Jixiu decided that he would die, "Come on! Leave me alone - take them down for me -"

The soldiers behind Feng Jixiu saw that he was seriously injured in the blink of an eye, and they didn't know what to do. Now that they had listened to the order, they finally knew what to do, and they stepped forward.

"This thing has a tough temper." Xiao Hu rubbed his fists, and was about to go up to meet the enemy, Jun Zhanran raised his hand to stop him, "Wait a minute."

"Lord, what are you waiting for?" Xiao Hu was puzzled, Nangong Cangao also frowned when he saw that Jun Zhanran was indifferent to him, and asked, "Xiao Hu is right, what are you waiting for?"

"Do you still remember the twelve hidden guards who were taken down before?" Jun Zhanran suddenly mentioned them at this moment.

The twelve dark guards, those people came here under the order of Huangde. They were arrested for assassinating Jun Zhan and kept in the dungeon of Wulou. The evil spirits had precedents, and it was uncertain when these twelve people would be used, so they were also escorted to Linnan.

Naturally, these people did not come here with Jun Zhanran and others, but were later escorted and divided into the second and third batches. When they were broken up and withdrawn from Xia Kingdom, they arrived in Xilin in batches.

Now, they are imprisoned in the other garden together with the evil spirits.

As soon as Nangong Cang Ao heard him mention the twelve hidden guards, he knew what he meant, "I'll go and bring them out."

No matter what Nangong Cangao and Mu Zhaoxia have had in the past, he is still the one who understands his thoughts best. OK."

Luo Qian was ordered to leave, and after a while the 12 people had arrived.

The twelve secret guards of Xuanzihao have lost the prestige of the royal secret guards in the past, and each of them looks sluggish. After all, they were imprisoned in a prison, lost the power to control their own life and death, and were forced to leave Xia Kingdom. Depressing.

"This is..." When these twelve people saw the sky again, what they saw was Xia Guo soldiers fighting with the people here, and they didn't know why they were brought here.

"Feng Jixiu, tell your people to stop." Nangong Cangao's voice was very clear in the battle, and no one could ignore the threat of a smile in his voice, "Look who they are."

Feng Jixiu was seriously injured, and only one life was left, so he couldn't control who these people were. He didn't know why these people didn't threaten his subordinates with his life, but brought out twelve prisoners instead.

Looking up, the hem of the gray-white clothes fluttered, and Jun Zhanran's indifferent voice continued: "These people are Huangde's cronies, the secret guards used by the royal family. Look at them, then go back and ask if Huang De has looked for them, and has he thought about saving them."

Not only Feng Jixiu was startled when he heard these words, but even the twelve members of the mysterious name were also startled.

"Naturally, a king would not mobilize people for the sake of a few subordinates. If he didn't look for them, he would know that they were in danger and let it go. Isn't this a normal thing?" Feng Jixiu snorted, "On the contrary, you are the one who is surprised, don't you Do you think that using these twelve hidden guards can make me turn against you and betray His Majesty?! What a joke!"

Feng Jixiu's words were reasonable, and the twelve secret guards of Xuanzihao also thought the same way. They were used to it, but some people thought differently.

"I wonder? As long as it is my subordinate, as long as it is not dead, I will not give up one person. It is strange to give up the lives of my subordinates and those who help me casually. For the sake of the monarch, you don't It is also strange that you take your own life seriously, and what is even more strange is that you take it for granted."

In the midst of the fighting, Jun Zhanran said calmly, with a cold expression on his face, "Since you don't care, what do I care about? Xiao Hu, bring me the medicine."

"Give it to them. If you kill a hundred people, I will give them the antidote. If anyone wants to commit suicide, let his companions be buried with him."

12 people, killing a hundred people, wouldn't it be enough to kill the group of soldiers brought by Feng Jixiu? !The 12 people's acupuncture points were restrained, and they were powerless to resist, so they could only be forced to take poison.

"Despicable!" Someone yelled.

The mandible was pinched, the teeth closed together in an instant, and the tip of the tongue was bitten off, "You'd better think about it, next time it won't just bleed." , Nangong Cang Ao was behind this hidden guard.

"Feng Jixiu, go back and tell Huangde that his hidden guards are in our hands. If you don't want them to die, and you don't want to die, then tell him not to send anyone to pester you, and send Mu Zhaoxia here as soon as possible. Killing, one of the two sides will always die in Linnan."

Blood flowed from the mouth of the cursing dark guard, and his face turned pale. Hearing what Nangong Cang Ao said, he became even less pale.

They are both shields and spears, and these two men actually used them to block the pursuers sent by Emperor Pingkang, and used them as weapons, unless Emperor Pingkang cared about their lives, so he compromised.

Hearing what the two raised their voices, Feng Jixiu's face suddenly changed. If he didn't tell people to stop, wouldn't he want to confront the imperial family's secret guards?That was originally His Majesty's person, who knows that he still doesn't care about the lives of these people.

"...all stop." No matter how unwilling, he could only order to stop.

The rest of the soldiers also knew the seriousness and retreated as ordered. Xiao Hu, Wen Rufeng and others behind Nangong Cang Ao and Jun Zhanran were dumbfounded.

If Huang De wants to preserve his reputation, it seems that he can only compromise. If he refuses to make concessions for the lives of his subordinates, he will be disregarding human lives, which will make other hidden guards feel bad, and even make soldiers in the army treat him differently. dissatisfied.

This move is really high.

"Let him go, let him take my words back to Huangde." Nangong Cangao asked his men to back away, and Feng Jixiu was immediately carried down. As soon as he turned around, there was a black shadow in front of Jun Zhanran, "follow me."

Nangong Cangao dragged him by the hand and walked in, no matter how chaotic the scene was, he dragged him all the way to the inner courtyard, his smiling face just now darkened, "What are you going to do, Zhanran? Just now you It's so out of control, there's no need to take such a heavy hand against this kind of opponent, and these few days, before Mu Zhaoxia comes, you can't hold back?"

"What do you mean?" Judging from Jun Zhanran's expression, he really didn't know what he was talking about.

But how could he not know?The man in front of him frowned even tighter, "I saw your face, I wanted to forget it, but I couldn't help but ask, what is your plan? When Mu Zhaoxia comes, you can really control it." Hold your emotions?"

"It turned out to be this matter." As if suddenly enlightened, Jun Zhanran showed a smile that didn't look like a smile, "You can tell that I'm unhappy, it's not surprising, you can't make me happy, why don't you want me to clap your hands and cheer, Congratulations on your precious son?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't care about this?" No matter how the soldiers and horses outside the gate retreated, Nangong Cangao had more headaches to solve now, "It's too early for you to show my face now, What's more, I still don't know if the child is mine."

"Don't talk lightly!" When he reached the door, Jun Zhanran kicked the door open and was about to drag him in. Nangong Cangao supported the door frame with one hand and blocked the door, "Why don't you just speak clearly here .”

Jun Zhanran stood still suddenly, "That is your flesh and blood after all! You want me to not care at all, unless I don't have any feelings for you, how can I do it?! Nangong Cangao! You really think I am A god who is pure-hearted and ascetic and doesn't care about anything?!"

A palm slapped on the door frame, and pieces of wood shot out, brushing past Nangong Cang Ao's cheek, leaving a bloodstain.

The palm with the scar was pressed against his face, wiping away the blood, "If she doesn't know her duty, I don't guarantee that I will do anything."

The eagle spread its wings in Jun Zhanran's palm. In fact, if he wanted to, it would not be difficult to get rid of the scar, but he didn't do that.

In fact, before Nangong Cang Ao said those words, he had already noticed that the scar had a special shape.

In the final analysis, he is just a man, and his own things cannot be contaminated by others.
