At this time, the surrounding soldiers finally arrived and formed a circle around them, protecting the two of them in the middle.But the archer hiding in the dark seemed to have no chance of winning, so he turned and ran away.

The soldiers ran to a distance from the two and stopped suddenly, not daring to take a step forward.

At this time, Jiang Yu was very strange to them. The person who was usually elegant and cold seemed to have completely shed that layer of weakness.The blood that Xiao Xiangling splashed just now remained on his face and neck, his usually indifferent eyes turned red, all the camouflage and masks were torn off bloody in an instant, and became hideous and complicated.

Xiao Xiangling was shot with an arrow in the chest and the back of the heart. At this time, the thick blood had already flowed all over the ground, and the edge was still spreading outward.

He finally let go of the hand holding the epee, slowly raised it in mid-air, and touched Jiang Yu's side face that was also stained with scarlet.

That movement was still cautious and cautious, as if he was twisting a rare treasure, on which he touched the dried blood and also touched the scalding hot liquid.

"Don't be afraid." He said softly, "Small injury."

It's just that this slightly weak sentence, coupled with the sharp injuries of the two arrows, is not convincing.

"Why did you do this?" Jiang Yu asked through gritted teeth, his voice became hoarse due to the congestion in his throat, and his breathing was unstable due to the heaving and falling of his chest.

He squeezed Xiao Xiangling's hand that was caressing his face until the knuckles turned white with force, probably intending to shake it off, but in the end it just stopped halfway along the temperature.

"Why did you come to block the arrows, why did you disregard your own life and death?" He questioned in a trembling voice, "You promised me that you would always be by my side until I got poisoned."

A few drops of water flowed down his cheeks extremely quickly, drawing a trace in the blood, and finally hanging precariously on his jaw, shaking slightly with his movements.

Xiao Xiangling seemed to want to wipe it off, and raised his other hand, but after all, he just wiped away the blood on the other's neck.

Jiang Yu's eyes swept around sharply, and the soldiers around him retreated a certain distance knowingly.

"Listen to me." Xiao Xiangling held the opponent's hand instead, his voice was a little abnormally low.

Most of the time in the past, he was the one who took care of and missed the injured Jiang Yu, but now the situation is completely reversed.

"I'm really fine, and I'll try my best to survive." The corners of his lips curled up slightly with some effort, "I can't bear to part with you even more. Now that I finally have the chance to come down to take care of me, I will cherish it."

"Do your best?" Jiang Yu refused to let go, his voice was urgent and unsteady, "That means you are not sure about this matter, right?"

After a long time, Xiao Xiangling exhaled slowly, and said softly, "But if I didn't block it just now, those two arrows will hit you."

Jiang Yu seemed to want to blurt out something, but was restrained abruptly.Then he slowly lowered his upper body until the drops of water on his chin merged with the blood on the side of the opponent's face.

"If I can remember what happened before, I've lived in this world for a long time." His voice was slow, word by word, and all his breath sprayed on the mandible of the other party.

"Too many people don't like me, hate me, and naturally, I don't like them either. Whenever I look at them and see the filthy things in their eyes, I feel that this world is really boring, boring Extremely."

He slid his head down against his beating heart.

"Only after seeing you, did I realize that the world is not so boring, and there are some interesting people, some... people I like."

"But I like you so much, why do you still have to go?"

There was a long silence, the air gradually thickened in the calm gaze, and gradually dissipated in the violent heartbeat.

"I like you too, and I will try my best to stay by your side." Xiao Xiangling responded to the other party's gaze, looking at the portrait of him countless times.

It must be that the blood was concentrated in the pupils, which caused his complexion to be so pale.he thinks.

He stretched out his hand, trying to spread the bright red, but found that the more he touched it, the more out of control he became.

"Jiang Yu, you have to remember." He said in a deep voice, "You are the person I am running out of ammunition and food, and I will fight to the death to protect you; I will always be loyal to you no matter how poor or honored I am." Your Highness."

Jiang Yu's eyes moved slightly, as if the thick blood was being shaken away, rippling thick ripples.

"Then I allow, and I request—" he responded in a deep voice, "You will always be loyal to me."

"You are also the person I will always like."

The long-delayed turmoil in the palace finally calmed down. Ever since the capital publicly announced that Ruoyang had overturned the verdict and added etiquette to the law, the Northern Bandits also followed their previous promises and promised not to invade the border areas on their own initiative, and to It is commensurate with the friendship of the Central Plains.

Xia Zhixing was also buried in accordance with the etiquette, and a new prime minister took office.At the same time, Jiang Qi and the Taoist priests manipulated the courtiers without authorization, and the things that caused chaos in the court were also made public.The Taoist priest was temporarily held in a prison awaiting follow-up treatment, but Jiang Qi hanged himself in the bedroom before the incident because he could not bear the tremendous pressure.

It's just that the monarch is still vacant, and the prime minister still handles court affairs on his behalf.

"Your poison was given by that Taoist priest, and only he can know the antidote. He will be executed the day after tomorrow. Why don't you ask the poison for the solution?"

Nearly half a month later, Xiao Xiangling half leaned on Jiangyu's bed and asked.

These days he has been living in Jiangyu's dormitory. A bed is not big enough to sleep two people, but Jiangyu still blows out the candles every night and lies beside him.

In this way, all parts of the body are tightly fitted together through the clothes, and the two can feel every inch of each other's body temperature.

Their conversations began to increase. Due to the situation and identity, even if the relationship was confirmed, most of the conversations were business affairs.Now that I was suddenly free, I talked about Haibei from Tiannan, what to eat for dinner, and the thick pine trees in the courtyard for a few weeks.

"He is a dying person, and he is even more fearless. He was unwilling to tell me the solution no matter what, and now he will not." Fang Pa went to wipe the blade, "Instead of wasting time dealing with him, it's better to let Gu Yuan prepare a dowry gift and plan to marry you, the prince and concubine."

Xiao Xiangling was stunned for a few moments because of these words, and then chuckled, this short expression came to an abrupt end due to being pulled by the wound.

"Who is the concubine? Why is your Highness still not sure?" He teased speciously.

Xiao Xiangling looked out of the window, the sunlight was a little dazzling.

"The pine tree has grown a little more."

Jiang Yu lowered his gaze slightly, but did not respond.

The two of them were tacit to each other, but what they couldn't say was that Xiao Xiangling's injury had not improved during this period of time.

Jiang Yu once asked the imperial doctor to explain the situation to him in private. The man said that the two arrows had pierced his heart veins. The passage of time gradually wears off.

"How long is that?"

"Report to Your Highness." The imperial doctor bent down deeply, as if a little frightened, "Maybe only, fifteen days."

He stood in the night wind for a long time, trying to digest the news that was not easy to accept, and took a long time to take a deep breath, lowering his eyes to cover up all the extreme emotions.

Then he returned to the bedroom, lay down next to the other party, and blew out the candle in time before his eyes became sour.

Then he said, "I just went out and saw that the pine tree in the courtyard has grown a bit thicker. When your injury recovers, I will carry you out to have a look."

The other party's reaction at that time was to turn sideways with difficulty, wrapping Jiang Yu in his arms, "At that time, I want to be with you under the tree..."

The last few syllables were disturbed by the breath, but Jiang Yu could still clearly hear what it was.

"What did you do this afternoon? Gu Yuan wanted to find you, but he couldn't find you."

Xiao Xiangling's voice interrupted Jiang Yu's reverie, and only then did he realize that he had been holding the square handkerchief and sword blade in a daze for a long time.

He continued the movement of his hands slowly, the joints moved like rusty gears that were not soaked in oil.

"In the afternoon... went to meet someone." He looked up at Xiao Xiangling, "Su Yang."

The person who was hiding on the eaves and shooting arrows that day was quickly found out to be Su Yang, the former aide of the second prince Jiang Chibin.Ever since Jiang Chibin's tragic death at Jiang Yu's hands, he has always harbored resentment towards him.

And at this time when the court was slightly disturbed, he carried a bow and arrow and hid on the road that must pass through the court. The two arrows he and his companions were only Jiangyu, but he didn't want Xiao Xiangling to use his body to block the sword, and did not let Jiangyu. It doesn't hurt.

"What did you tell him?" Xiao Xiangling asked.

"I don't know why, but he always trusts Jiang Chibin and thinks that everything I say is false, and foolish loyalty is nothing more than that." Jiang Yu put the sword back to its original place, "Attempting to assassinate the prince is already a serious crime against the nine clans, and there is no need to do it." I got my hands dirty dealing with him. Besides... I don't have the time."

Xiao Xiangling pondered for a moment, and said, "It's probably not difficult to understand. Su Yang is to Jiang Chibin, just like Shen Chen is to the prince, and I am to you. No matter what happens, I will stand on the side of my support and trust without reservation." side."

Jiang Yu was noncommittal.

"Come here, don't stay so far away from me." Xiao Xiangling said casually, "I'm a little uncomfortable right now."

Jiang Yu controlled her emotions very well, walked to him naturally as if she had repeated it many times, and listened to the solid but chaotic heartbeat of the other party in a hugging posture.

He closed his eyes and smelled the clean sunshine from the medicine-scented neckline.

Like a small stone that hit a long sword sideways in a rainy night, like a galloping black horse galloping in an avalanche.

Like a solid wall of copper and iron, it is invulnerable and indestructible.

It was a city wall built brick by brick, but not a single soldier could invade at all.

Xiao Xiangling clearly felt the changes in his body, his whole body became weaker and his wounds became more painful.

When he made the decision to block the sword, he thought that he might die, and that Jiang Yu had asked him to confirm many times that he would never leave.

But it wasn't until the arrow shot aggressively towards the unsuspecting Jiangyu that he realized that all the concerns and trade-offs had become so insignificant at this moment.

He couldn't do nothing but let Jiang Yu fall in front of him bleeding again.This is almost an instinct engraved in his bones, to protect without hesitation, to take sides without reason.

"If I tonight..." he said softly.

"If you sleep around tonight." Jiang Yu blocked half of what he said, and deliberately took the opposite meaning.

"I'll kiss you awake."
