I am neither beautiful nor crazy

Xiao Xiangling's eyes rarely contained an extremely suppressed anger, and that intense emotion seemed to be diluted by the frost outside, leaving only a gloomy look of indiscriminate emotion.

People on both sides were at odds with each other, but no one took the lead.

Just because they are breaking the rules.

Jiang Qi wanted Jiang Yu's life, but there was no reasonable evidence, so he could only kill him first; and Xiao Xiangling sent the Northern Xinjiang army back to Beijing privately, no matter the reason, it was already a serious enough crime.

Jiang Yu never thought that he would personally lead the army to come, completely cut off the back road, and openly contended with the imperial power.

"General Xiao...you are safe." Wei Dong stared at the soldiers outside the house with a gloomy tone, "But I don't know that General Xiao took the heavy army from northern Xinjiang back to the capital for M's use, and shot and killed one of my guards. What do you mean?"

"You don't have to deal with me here." Xiao Xiangling's tone was blunt and direct, and there was a hint of impatience in it, "Take out the antidote, and I'll save your life."

"The antidote? What antidote?" Wei Dong sneered. On his usually calm and self-possessed face, an extremely cruel smile suddenly appeared, ferocious and strange.

"Does General Xiao want the antidote from Lord Xia, or the antidote from His Highness the Seventh Prince?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment.

"What kind of medicine does His Highness have on him?" Xiao Xiangling's voice became colder and harsher, and the hand holding the sword tightened extremely due to restraint.

"There's no need to hide it from the general." Wei Dong said, "The poison on Mr. Xia's body is the Western Region Gu poison, which can only be inflicted and cannot be cured. If there is no flesh and blood to feed the Gu insects, the victim will gradually recover and die. And Seventh Highness..."

There was some regret in his voice, "The medicinal powder that His Highness took that day was not just a simple love poison, the medicinal powder would gradually penetrate into the blood of a person, and within seven to forty-nine days at most, the poisoned person would die of heart failure. .”

"Unfortunately, there is no cure for either poison."

Jiang Yu's breathing froze for a moment.

The medicinal powder mentioned by Wei Dong had been accidentally seen in a book.The poisoning was no different from ordinary love poison at the beginning, and the subsequent manifestations were not obvious, but the poison powder would erode the human body silently, until finally exhausted and died.

"There is no antidote." Xiao Xiangling said in a deep voice, but if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that his chest is slightly undulating, far from being as easy as it appears on the outside.

Wei Dong smiled, and threw the weapon in his hand aside casually, and took a few steps forward, with his throat facing the point of the sword Xiao Xiangling raised.

"No, it's not. You killed me, and you didn't."

Xiao Xiangling's face froze, and he clenched the hilt of the sword with almost all his willpower, but he didn't stab it.

"Xiao..." Jiang Yu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wei Dong's cold snort.

At the same time, a menacing arrow shot out from nowhere, and the arrow barely grazed the top of Wei Dong's hair, and was firmly nailed to the bed board behind him.His headband broke in an instant, and his hair fell down in a mess.

He didn't react much to the arrow, as if all he cared about at this moment was the poisoning of Jiangyu.

"Have you said it all? Why is General Xiao still not giving up? Even if the arrow was shot at me just now, no one in the whole world can come up with an antidote."

He smiled darkly, "Because when the poison was produced, I didn't even think about how to get rid of it."

In an instant, Xiao Xiangling stabbed the epee in his hand towards Wei Dong's throat, and at the same time Wei Dong shouted, a lot of men in black came out from every corner outside the house, there were nearly a hundred in number.

The two groups of people surrounded the mansion tightly and confronted each other. In an instant, the situation suddenly turned sharply. Everyone showed their powerful soldiers hiding in the dark, ready to fight at any time.

"General Xiao's move is to compete with the imperial power?" Wei Dong's voice was somewhat playful, "This is a dangerous road."

"Xiao Xiangling!" Jiang Yu said hastily before the other party was about to strike.

He saw that the other party was also looking at him at that moment, with deep eyes hidden under the mask, but the weight of those eyes did not weaken at all.The other party's eyes scanned M for a week, and finally stopped at the most serious knife wound on his arm.

Jiang Yu was badly injured, with mottled blood stains almost all over his body. It wasn't considered serious, but it looked particularly shocking.The skin and flesh of the incised part were turned outward, and even pale bones could be seen faintly.

Everything Jiang Yu wanted to say was swallowed back in his throat at that moment.

He walked towards Xiao Xiangling.

There was a man in black with a knife between them, but no one acted rashly against Wei Dong's order.

Jiang Yu's pace was very slow, as if he was waiting for something, but also seemed to be afraid of something.Only he knew from himself that as the distance between the two gradually narrowed, the knife wound, which he hadn't felt at all, suddenly started to hurt, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

What's more serious, he found that since M's heartbeat began to be unstable.

The mistakes that he would make every time he came into contact with Xiao Xiangling before, now seem to be more serious than minor.

When the distance between the two was less than five steps, Xiao Xiangling spoke softly.

"Your Highness, I came here this time mainly to return something to Your Highness."

"What else?" Jiang Yu's voice was still very soft, as if there were only two people present at the moment, and he ignored the men in black holding iron tools around him, even though Zi M was currently unarmed.

"What else, you want to come in person?" He chuckled softly, unable to tell what his feelings were.

"It's very important to return His Highness's things." Xiao Xiangling said ambiguously, "It's better not to have other people present."

Before he could finish speaking, the soldiers behind him moved at the same time. They were trained to quickly draw their bows and arrows, and shot forward with all their strength.

The narrow indoor archery looked dangerous and cramped, and the arrows blocked by the sword seemed to be spinning around.

At that moment, Jiang Yu quickly looked at Xiao Xiangling, the time was too short, but Xiao Xiangling shuddered when he saw that look.

The corners of the beautiful eyes are slightly drooping, as if viscous water flows through a penetrating river, so deep that it is hard to figure out, but there is a hint of helplessness.

This scene instantly reminded him of the last time the two met a long time ago.

Those few days were no different from usual, but Jiang Yu's complexion was pale and he looked sick.Jiang Yu, who was not very public, became even more reticent, ignoring his condolences, and even not allowing him to get too close.

Even when delivering medicine.

He never felt that since M had really understood Jiang Yu, even in the time he spent with him, he didn't even know the deep meaning of the other's sentence "You have the cleanest eyes".

The only thing he can feel is that his own feelings for Jiang Yu have gradually deteriorated, and then became uncontrollable.

But the other party is always the spotless young man, with sharp and vivid eyebrows and eyes in the firelight, and there is always a bit of tenderness in the corners of the eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling; and since M is always the kid who was rescued in the fire , Even a "like" seems so unconvincing.

What happened in the next few days was a dream, and he had to spend a lot of effort to confirm that those magnificent and crazy indulgences were real, and not something that M had imagined for no reason because of the long time.

And after that, Jiang Yu's eyes were like this, like dull connivance, and uncontrollable regret, but it didn't make the character feel sad.

He never forgot that look.

The sharp arrow pierced through the air in the room, making a sharp squeal.Xiao Xiangling suddenly concentrated from his short absence, and suddenly felt palpitations for no reason.

Jiang Yu had already withdrawn his gaze, and his nimble and slender body was passing through the fine sword, and ran straight in the direction of Xia Zhixing.

The latter tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't make up his mind due to nervousness.

His state at this moment looked a little dangerous, his eyes were a little out of focus in the extreme confusion, and his right hand was hurriedly looking aside, as if he was looking for something.

Jiangyu was only a few feet away from Xia's trip, but the moment Xiao Xiangling's eyes swept over there, a cold light flashed across.Xiao Xiangling froze suddenly, and blurted out Jiang Yu's name at that moment.

It's not His Highness, but the word Jiangyu.

But everything happened too hastily, the moment Xiao Xiangling called out to organize, the soft sword that was thrown off the ground was picked up before someone else.

I saw Xia Zhixing trying his best to reach the soft sword on the side of M's hand in the blink of an eye, so hard that the veins in his hands bulged.At this moment, like a reckless lunatic, he lowered his head, raised his soft sword with both hands, as if offering a sacrifice, and then stabbed down

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and Jiang Yu saw that there was a bright mist of blood on the white clothes that had been stained with blood since M. He could even smell the smell of blood, which came in from his nose , more intense than ever before.

He seemed to be frozen, and his footsteps barely stopped in place.

He saw Xia Zhixing suddenly raised the sword at that moment, and then stabbed straight at M's lower abdomen.

Xia Zhixing's originally chaotic eyes seemed to be a little brighter, which contained an unconcealable pain.His eyes were fixed on the direction of Jiang Yu, his trembling lips were slightly opened and closed, as if he was saying a word.

"Jiangyu, don't..."

What else?

As if a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured down from the top of his head, Jiang Yu's fingertips began to tremble slightly.His heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a hand, causing him to raise his neck to breathe, but he couldn't find any oxygen at all.

The soft sword was pulled out with a swipe, and more blood splattered all around.

Jiang Yu raised his arm helplessly, as if to block the bleeding wound, but stopped suddenly when he touched the bright red liquid.

The scuffle in the distance did not stop, and not many people even noticed the change here, as if only the time between the two of them was stopped at that moment, they looked at the knife light outside, but they couldn't feel any extra emotion .

Under the strong shock, the pain from the wound on his body spread like a tide, and Jiang Yu felt that there was no place on his body that was not painful.

At the same time, for some reason, his heart twitched violently.He clutched the front of his shirt tightly, and slowly half-kneeled on the ground.

The swords had no eyes, stabbing from behind one after another.

Jiang Yu is Jiang Qi's most obvious knot, and is their main attacker. If anyone can bring Jiang Yu's head back, he will be rewarded heavily.

But Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment at that critical juncture. He held the bloody sword hilt tightly with his right hand, but he didn't immediately turn around and take a defensive fighting posture.

If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that due to pain and loss of strength, even the hilt of his sword is trembling and unstable.

Those dense and unified sword tips are like an impenetrable wall, trapping the prey to death inside, and the momentary hesitation deprives Jiangyu of all opportunities to fight back.Like a fish in a pond, a turtle in a urn, or a bird caught in a silk net, it is difficult to fly high when it flaps its wings.

At that moment, he subconsciously looked in Xiao Xiangling's direction, and was stunned for a moment, but the long sword in front of him was swept away at the moment of a flash of cold light.

The speed was so outrageous that no one could see how Xiao Xiangling rushed out, and then swung the epee in his hand with an almost impossible strength.

Holding a sword in one hand, he stood in front of Jiang Yu, the flickering candlelight perfectly depicted his slender figure on the ground, and the blurry shadow outline happened to envelop Jiang Yu's entire body.

Including the mottled blood on the ground around Jiang Yu.

Wei Dong gritted his teeth and shifted the direction of his sword to Xiao Xiangling.

"General Xiao's current position is too obvious." He said in a very low voice, "As a general who holds the power of the northern border army, he openly defends the prince who is suspected of defecting, and even before the emperor's secret guard, he did not avoid suspicion at all. General Xiao Is this to announce the word rebellion to the world, or is it an attempt to openly protect one's shortcomings?"

Xiao Xiangling didn't care about this seemingly terrifying threat. He didn't even look at the other person at all, but lowered his eyes in silence, watching a few strands of bright red blood flow out from the wounded person behind him, leaving behind him on the ground. Deep rust and dry marks.

The body under the black armor gradually tensed up.

"I don't intend to oppose the emperor, and it's not to protect my shortcomings. It's just that even if these trumped-up charges are charged on my head, I don't think it's anything."

The voice was calm and slow, as well as calm and indifferent.

"But today I am with the Beijiang Army, and no one should even think about touching Jiangyu."
