I am neither beautiful nor crazy

Jiang Yu's body was completely protected by Xiao Xiangling, which could be called a perfect protection.His chest was heaving violently due to the pain, but the spine behind him was still standing stubbornly, like some kind of excessive stubbornness.

He raised his eyes slightly, and saw Xiao Xiangling's tightly clenched fists and that sturdy epee, like an indestructible door, but the secret code inside the door was only in his hands.

His eyes trembled a few times, and he frowned as if he wanted to speak, but he still kept his unfinished words in his stomach after all.

Xiao Xiangling was so close to him that he could clearly see the fine lines on the opponent's black armor, just like an unignorable pain in his heart, which made him subconsciously tense up.

He heard the sharp sound of swords colliding, as if the tongue of fire licked the fear of talcum; he heard the sound of people screaming out of pain, like wolves in the Western Regions in a snowy night; Shaking in front of him, occasionally scarlet blood was thrown from the gap in the corner of his clothes, but it could only form a blurred afterimage in his eyes.

Jiang Yu seemed to have lost his perception for a part of the time, and it took some time before the sounds around him calmed down a little.

He heard the slight yet heavy panting in the air, and tried to blink to see the surrounding environment. After a few seconds of stunned, he realized that there were only two people left in the room.

Xiao Xiangling's epee rested on Wei Dong's neck, and the latter had mottled bloodstains on his face, and his expression was a bit ferocious due to excessive force.

He shook his head slightly at Xiao Xiangling.

Wei Dong didn't seem to be surprised by Jiang Yu's reaction. He broke away from Xiao Xiangling's sword, wiped the blood on his face perfunctorily, stared at Jiang Yu for a long time, but it took a long time to say a word.

"Your Highness is crueler than anyone else, but in some respects, he is softer than anyone else." He paused, "It's a pity that the medicine powder in the wine really has no solution, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, if there is another chance, I will not stand by Jiang Qi's side."

Jiang Yu slightly raised his hand towards Xiao Xiangling, and then stood up with his arms around him.For some reason, his face was a little too pale, and he didn't give Wei Dong a look from the beginning to the end. He opened and closed his thin lips, and just said a word in a neutral manner.

That extremely dull tone seemed to be dismissing someone.

"Do you think I care about which side you stand on?" He raised his eyes, his upper eyelids curved into fan-shaped folds, "You are not even in my consideration."

"Go back and get back with Jiang Qi."

Jiang Yu's gaze immediately turned to Xia Zhixing who was aside, seemingly careless, but in fact his palms were clenched so tightly that they were almost white.

Xia Zhixing was lying on his side on the ground, with a dangerous pool of blood under his body, his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Xiao Xiangling's heart suddenly trembled violently.

This scene was so similar to Jiangyu's corpse in the rainy night in his previous life that anyone who saw the bloody man lying on his side on the ground would feel his scalp numb unconsciously.

Jiang Yu suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, his eyes were gently covered by a warm hand, and then a low and deep voice rang in his ears, echoing in his head.

"Don't look, don't be afraid."

He felt the people around him squat down, probably to sniff Xia Zhixing's breath, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"You're still angry, don't be afraid." He repeated.

But Jiang Yu pushed the opponent's hand away somewhat cruelly.

He staggered a few steps forward and pressed his unsteady fingers towards the side of the other's neck.

Xia Zhixing must not die, he still has so many urgent questions to ask, so many things to say that he didn't have time to say.

Suddenly, he suddenly realized something

In this state of physical instinct, what he cares most is not Xia Zhixing's life and death itself, but whether he can learn the cause and effect of this series of clues from the other party, and whether he can avenge him.

He suddenly felt an extremely deep and self-loathing sense of oppression and powerlessness.

Xia Zhixing seemed to realize that Jiang Yu was beside him, and opened his eyes with some effort.Now his sanity has fully recovered, but his face is terribly gray and defeated.

Jiang Yu just sat halfway in front of him, gasping for breath and not speaking.

"You..." Xia Zhixing opened his mouth slightly, trying hard to prop himself up with his arms, but was suddenly pressed down by Jiang Yu.

"do not move."

"Jiang Yu..." Xia Zhixing hurriedly pressed the wound on his body with one hand, and a steady stream of red liquid was flowing out of the hole in the body, like a gushing gap, "Some things, I must... you say."

"I'll talk about it later." Jiang Yu spit out these words word by word, his slightly scarlet eyes stared directly at the wound on the opponent's body, until he felt a hand pressing on his shoulder with some force.

He was breathing so fast that his shoulders were a little unsteady, but all the small tremors were suppressed by that steady hand.It seems to strangle the branches and leaves of the sapling dancing in the wind, and then stuff them back into the soil.

"Jiang Yu, don't be afraid." Xia Zhixing tried his best to force a smile, just like how many years ago when Jiang Yu was young, he coaxed people to practice swords, "I just want to show you something."

He hurriedly spoke again before Jiang Yu stopped him, "Since you obediently took the file, haven't you been looking into the matter of Bingtongue and your mother and concubine?"

He spoke calmly, but the air in the room seemed to freeze suddenly at that moment.

The Prime Minister's Mansion could be seen that there were no people living there for some time, and the hall was dark. After several days of rain, there was even a layer of water droplets on the beams and pillars, and a layer of clear dust floated on the table with the naked eye.

I tried to light the candlestick a few times, but it didn't light up.

Under Jiang Yu's silent gaze, Xia Zhixing took out a box from under the bed, which looked dark and rusty under the dark light, and on the side of the box was a lock with a toggle pattern.When he pressed the box with his hand, the blood from his fingertips dripped into the crack of the lock, and then flowed out with the vibration.

The box was opened, and there was an epee in it. The sword body was pure black, with almost no fancy and complicated lines on it, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling.

Jiang Yu suddenly felt a little out of breath, not only because of the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss, but also because of some terrible guesses that almost broke out in his heart.

Black, heavy sword, ice tongue grass, it was hard for him not to associate this sword with certain things.

He stood where he was, but didn't speak.It is rare for him to feel such unbearable shock and confusion, facing the result that he has been imagining all along, but he can't believe it.

At this moment, he seemed to be stepping on the soft grass, like a dream.

"You should be able to guess what this sword is." Xia Zhixing didn't have the strength to stand up, so he sat on the ground covering his wound, his voice was as soft as a gossamer, "You guessed right."

"You are so smart, didn't you guess something a long time ago, even if you only occasionally thought of this possibility?"

The miscellaneous notes mentioned that the ice tongue grass needs clues in two swords to find it, one sword is tough and soft, and the other sword is heavy and hard.

And he speculated from Ruoyang's past letters that she most likely got the ice tongue grass, left a sword in his hand, and the location of the other sword is "I am very happy with it".

When meeting Ruoyang's elder brother in Beijiang, He Louqing accidentally said that the meaning of this sentence may also refer to the person Ruoyang loves.

He once thought that the other sword was in Xiao Xiangling's hands, so he sneaked in late at night, and caused a misunderstanding; he thought it would be in the hands of the second prince, but it was difficult to find clues; finally he thought it might be in a certain deep palace of the emperor Hiding, after all, he should be the person Ruoyang likes.

But it is now lying in the metal box that Xia Zhixing collapsed, revealing traces of dust and time everywhere.

Everything seems to be logical, but people can't accept it normally.

"The ice tongue grass is a treasure that people all over the world are desperately trying to grab. Every time there is a clue of it in the SLR, there will be chaos in the world. I don't know how Ruoyang got these two swords, but the information was already known at that time. Be known by some people." Xia Zhixing's voice became smaller and smaller, and there was a sense of despair in it.

"I once persuaded her to hand it over, but she was very stubborn about it. She kept one sword for herself and entrusted the other sword to me for safekeeping. The whereabouts of the soft sword was no secret at that time, but this heavy sword, No one has ever doubted me here."

"So if Yang uses this method to completely cut off the whereabouts of the ice tongue grass, he will inevitably get burned and eventually be framed by the queen." Xiao Xiangling stood beside Jiang Yu and asked him what he wanted to ask.

"But why did Ruoyang put the epee with you?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyes, but there seemed to be light ripples in his eyes, and even the sound he made was so unstable.

"are you……"

Xia Zhixing thought about it for a long time, but he seemed to have lost his strength, and he didn't know where to start.

"Since you were young, I have paid special attention to you. I came to your palace to play with you, help you find a master who teaches martial arts, and teach you the art of war and etiquette when I have time. When you were sent to the Western Regions, I did not know How many times have I followed you?"

He said these words, but he didn't look Jiang Yu directly in the eyes.

"I have always wanted to reverse the case for Ruoyang all these years, but the risks I have to bear are too great, and the biggest uncertainty itself is you." He shook his head, "Because the most important thing now is not how the former emperor treats you , but whether you can retreat unscathed in the melee...but you also surprised me."

"You are so brave, so reckless. Although Ruoyang may not be in your memory at all, you will do so many risky things. Many times when I see you, I think, if anyone dares to think and do like you , what will this world look like?"

Xia Zhixing smiled helplessly, "But obviously not, that's why I said, you are different from other princes, and everyone."

With a bit of damp and cold moonlight shining from the door into the dark room, Jiang Yu heard the sound of swords and swords beeping along with the whimpering wind. It was the sound of Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses approaching, very much like the moonlight in the Western Regions Howling wolves.

Xia Zhixing finally raised his eyes in this atmosphere, his eyes were tired and old.

"Perhaps you have doubted before, why I did not betroth my daughter to you under the order of the first emperor anyway." He said softly, "Because Jiang Yu, you and I are related by blood."
