POW camp

Di Heng drove the carriage and led Prince Haiya to escape from Fancheng.At this time, Fancheng was surrounded by enemies on three sides, and only the north was adjacent to Yadi City.The carriage ran to the northeast, and after running for a while, Di Heng asked Prince Haiya to get off the carriage.He slapped the horse hard and let the carriage continue to gallop forward. He and Prince Haiya avoided the road and walked through a dense bush into the mountains.

Prince Haiya was pampered and pampered. He seldom even went out of the city gate. It was the first time he walked so hard on the rugged mountain road, and he was a little out of breath after walking for a while.Di Heng wanted to come over to help, but he stopped him gently but firmly: "Thank you, but I'm not tired yet."

Only Di Heng clearly understands how tough and arrogant this seemingly weak boy is in his bones, and he must still be brooding over Di Heng's disrespect and offense just now.Di Heng took a deep look at him and said, "I will follow your orders at any time, Your Highness."

"What else is your Highness?" Prince Haiya smiled wryly, "Since this is the case, you should just call me Haiya."

Di Heng hesitated for a moment: "Then... Haiya..." He read the name in a low voice, as if savoring a young olive.Hearing his strange voice, Haiya asked, "What?"

"It's nothing, Dian... Haiya..." Di Heng raised his head in a hurry, and suddenly changed the subject, "It's not far away."

Then both fell silent.Haiya looked at Di Heng's back, the man walked steadily step by step, his body was slightly arched, and the exposed arms and calf muscles showed beautiful and smooth lines, which seemed to contain infinite power and could be ready at any time. Like it exploded.

It was only then that Haiya realized that he hadn't actually paid attention to Di Heng's back. That man was always silently guarding behind him, silently, and would stand up and obey all orders only when he needed it most.But now, Haiya looked over and found that this figure she should be most familiar with was a little strange.Occasionally, Di Heng turned his head to look at him, his tall figure commanded him, making people feel a kind of coercion.

Haiya bit her lip, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. "He is the only one you can trust, that's the only way." He said to himself, but at the same time another voice would come out quickly: "Di Heng is too familiar with this road, this is by no means a hasty escape, he had already Be prepared."

The two walked along the looming mountain road for nearly a day, picking some roadside fruits to satisfy their hunger and thirst.When the sun was about to set, Di Heng pointed to the front and said, "Here we are, just ahead."

It was a small wooden house, hidden in the dense forest on the top of the mountain, next to a curved stream.

The two entered the cabin, and Di Heng helped Haiya to sit at the table, and said, "Take a break, I'll get you some water." He took a water jug ​​from the window sill, and hurried out.

Haiya was exhausted, and his legs seemed to be almost numb. He felt that he would fall asleep as soon as he lay down, but he still managed to cheer up and pay attention to everything around him.

The house is very clean, the items are neatly arranged, the firewood stove, pots and bowls are all available, and there are even seasonings.This shows that people will come here from time to time and replace them in time.

Haiya looked at it calmly, and when Di Heng brought the water, he didn't ask a question.He took the jug and drank his fill. The coolness and sweetness of the stream refreshed him, and his fatigue seemed to be relieved a lot.He handed it to Di Heng and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Di Heng was also extremely thirsty, and his throat was about to smoke, but he waited for Haiya to finish drinking, then took the water bottle, poured down most of the bottle of water, and let out a rough breath.

Di Heng said, "Wait a while, I'll go get something to eat."

Haiya stood up: "I'll help you."

"No need." Di Heng walked out quickly, and brought back two pheasants and a hare within a short time.He lit a fire with the wood piled up in the corner, went to the stream to clean his prey, set up the stove and put on the pot, and his actions were orderly.

Neither of them spoke, and they occasionally looked at each other, but quickly avoided it.In the past, two people who belonged to different levels with clear distinctions, living in the same room like this seemed a little uncomfortable, and they didn't know how to get along with each other.

But Di Heng still did his best to serve Haiya. The pheasant and hare were roasted deliciously; the fire in the stove was warm and warm, driving away the cold air in the mountain night; the bed was clean and tidy, making people want to lie on it and feel comfortable Take a good night's sleep.He even brewed a pot of black tea for Haiya and mixed a bucket of bath water.

When Haiya took a shower, Di Heng washed his clothes and hung them outside: "It will be dry tomorrow, and it will be better to wear."

Haiya had no choice but to lie naked under the quilt. Fortunately, Di Heng used to help him get dressed, so he didn't feel uncomfortable doing so, and he fell asleep soon.

When Di Heng finished washing and returned to the cabin, Haiya was sleeping soundly, breathing steadily and evenly.Di Heng walked over lightly, stood by the bed, bent down, and carefully described Haiya with his eyes.

The beautiful prince lay there quietly, shrouded in the dim light, like an angel strayed into the mortal world.One hand was placed casually beside the pillow, and the quilt was only spread to the chest, revealing slightly thin shoulders, graceful neckline and delicate collarbone.

In the past, when Prince Haiya fell asleep, Di Heng could only retreat, close the door, and do what a most loyal guard should do.He has never seen Haiya's sleeping state so closely and within reach.

Di Heng knew that Haiya under the quilt was naked.He is like a newborn baby, all the protection is just a thin quilt, as fragile as the most exquisite jade, making people want to hold it carefully in their hands and love them freely; To the ground, completely crushed.

Deep desire was condensed in Di Heng's brown pupils, and a kind of unbearable pain appeared on his face.He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the smooth and delicate skin, but stopped halfway.Di Heng knew very well in his heart that if this went on like this, he would definitely lose control of himself, and he would crazily possess this person, even if he would die in the next second.

Di Heng took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, put it close to Haiya's ear, and called in a low voice: "Your Highness...Your Highness..."

Haiya was motionless, he seemed too tired.

Di Heng straightened up, blew out the candles, and opened the door.Glancing at Haiya again, he made sure that the other party hadn't woken up at all, and then hurried out.

Almost at the moment when Di Heng closed the door, Haiya suddenly opened his eyes.He lay quietly for a moment, listening intently to the movement outside, and the sound of footsteps gradually went away.

Haiya stood up, hugged the thin quilt and walked to the window.He gently pushed the window open a gap, and under the hazy moonlight, he saw Di Heng leaping over the stream nimbly and quickly disappearing into the night.

Morton's mind was completely occupied by Lan Ting and Howes, and it wasn't until after dinner that he realized that something was wrong with Lindsay today.When he came out of Prince Haiya's mansion, he asked to go home first. At that time, Morton was in a hurry to find the torture materials, but he didn't take it to heart.As a result, Lindsay was very quiet all afternoon, just eating with his head down. The dishes were not up to par, either too salty or too bland.

From what Morton knew of Lindsay, this man was angry.He wiped the corners of his lips and said, "Can you tell me? What did I do wrong?" Lindsay kept her head down and didn't see the shape of his mouth at all, so of course she couldn't answer.

Morton lifted Lindsay's jaw with a smile, and said slowly, "Okay, can you tell me?"

Lindsay pursed her lips and said angrily, "I don't understand why you would do that."

"what?"

"Framing Prince Haiya." Lindsay looked straight into Morton's eyes, "You know it's not like that at all."

Morton suddenly said "Oh" and said, "So you are doing it for him."

"Morton, Lauter is not a good person, Prince Haiya is so pitiful, why do you..."

"Lindsay." Morton gently supported his lover's shoulders, "You are too kind, of course you will think things too simply. I don't think Haiya is innocent. As the prince of the empire, he only cherishes his feathers and protects himself wisely. What he always talks about is that his noble and pure character is not tarnished. He doesn't care about the suffering of the people at all, or just cares about it on the surface. Compared with his own reputation, he cherishes the heavy responsibility that a prince should shoulder. It's reputation. In fact, I think Haiya deserved what she deserved for being where she is today, and she doesn't deserve sympathy at all."

"Then you shouldn't frame good people out of thin air." Lindsay stretched out his hand and gestured hastily, it seemed that he was very angry.

Morton pondered for a moment and said, "I'm very selfish. This method is too despicable. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

He admitted it so directly, Lindsay didn't know what to do, and said awkwardly, "No...I'm not..."

Morton took Lindsay's hand: "Fancheng has fallen into such a situation, Prince Haiya, as the supreme ruler, has an unshirkable responsibility. This empire is too decayed, so decayed that no one wants to die for it. Lin Sai, think about the suffering you have suffered since you were a child, don't you have any resentment towards this rotten regime?"

Lindsay stopped making a sound, he tilted his head, and a trace of sadness gradually appeared on his face.

Morton caressed Lindsay's hand and made him look at himself: "I have to plan for our future, and this is the question I've wanted to ask you for so long." He looked solemn, "Lindsay, I have a secret, but I can't tell you yet. I can only tell you that I want to treat you well and be with you. When the time comes, I will leave Fancheng and this country. You will follow me Let's go together, shall we?"

Lindsay gazed into Morton's resolute, calm eyes and nodded slowly.

Morton sighed contentedly, he took Lindsay and hugged her tightly.The two embraced each other, sharing each other's body temperature and breath, as if they were the only ones left in the world, as if they would never be separated forever.

After a long time, Morton let go: "I still have something to do, I guess I won't be able to go to bed until later."

"What's the matter? I see you brought back a lot of videotapes."

"It's Lan Ting. Lauter said that he got a very important piece of information. Lan Ting is the heir of the Lan Clan Legion."

Lindsay was startled: "Really? No way...that Lauter..."

"He won't joke about this kind of thing, it's about the future." Morton said sarcastically, "I just said that Hovis is too concerned about that prisoner, it's very weird. You think, if Hovis is a spy, and he Knowing Lan Ting's identity, then such a special treatment is very reasonable."

Lindsay thought for a while, then shook her head: "No, these are just coincidences. Hovis also said that Lanting is a gift for the eldest princess."

"But it can also be an excuse. Anyway, I want to check the interrogation materials, maybe I will find some clues." He pondered for a while, and said, "Also, I want to use Lan Ting's identity to test Hovis well. .”

"You want to tell Laut your suspicions about Hovis?"

"No, no." Morton was amused by Lindsay's nervousness. He knew that his lover had no affection for Lieutenant Colonel Lauter, "How could it be. This is a very important bargaining chip. If it is what I think, it can be secretly Investigating Howes and attacking Lan Ting, even if Laut doesn't know my plan, he will agree."

Lindsay lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Morton smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about these things, as long as you have me."

"I still have a class tonight, and I have to go to Teacher Zhong Min." Lindsay looked at his watch, "It's almost time."

"Didn't it just go up yesterday?"

"The teacher said to add another section, my portrait is not good." Lindsay frowned slightly, "Sometimes I also think he is too strict."

Morton kissed Lindsay's smooth forehead lightly, as a comfort to his little complaint: "Okay, go, be careful on the road."

Morton stayed in the office to watch the tape, and Lindsay drove to the teacher's residence in a carriage.Without waiting for Zhong Min to ask, he stretched out his hand and said, "Teacher, I'm here."

Zhong Min nodded without showing the slightest surprise, and said indifferently as usual, "Then come in."

The coachman drove the carriage to rest, and Lindsay followed Zhong Min to the second floor.

Zhong Min closed the door and made a gesture, indicating that this place is very safe.Lindsay spoke in a very low voice: "The situation is extremely critical. The enemy already knows Lan Ting's true identity, and they must try to organize a rescue. Morton has begun to suspect 'Kapok' and wants to use Lan Ting to tempt him. You must notify him immediately." He spoke slowly at first, but after two sentences, he became quite fluent.The docile softness in front of Morton completely disappeared, his expression was calm and calm, and his cold eyes showed a bit of determination and sternness, "It is recommended to activate the 'Dead Leaf Butterfly' to implement the cocoon breaking plan."

Zhong Min replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Morton watched the tape all night.

The ruling class of the Puman Kingdom is so corrupt that all technologies are very backward. The video tapes are still in black and white, and the images are blurry to make people headache.Most of the torture was carried out by Lauter, and Hovis appeared only at the very last moment.Morton watched the video over and over a dozen times, but found nothing unusual.He rubbed between his brows, feeling tired and frustrated.He had an intuition that Hawes must have something to do with Lan Ting. How could it be possible for the two to not show a little when they met for the first time?

Morton picked up the cold coffee and took a big sip. The bitter taste hit his nose, and he rewound the videotape unwillingly.This time it was a bit more, and Hovis had just appeared in the broadcast screen.Before seeing the figure, he heard his deliberately exaggerated voice: "I heard that Lieutenant Colonel Lauter is about to make meritorious service again, why didn't you inform me?..."

Morton straightened up suddenly, he quickly reversed the screen, and played the episode again.

"I heard that Lieutenant Colonel Lauter is going to make meritorious service again, why didn't you inform me?..."

At the same time as Hovis said these words, Lan Ting, who was hanging, obviously raised his head, and then lowered his head very quickly.

Morton smiled slowly, with certainty, satisfaction and relief - Hovis and Lanting knew each other before.
