long night

The quiet moon hangs in the sky, and the night crow sleeps peacefully.The early autumn wind stirred the locust trees beside the road every now and then, drawing long and short afterimages on the dilapidated fence.

Wuye leaned on the railing of the prison car boredly, lowered his eyes, and looked down without focusing. He didn't know if he was looking at his naked, scarred feet, or he was supposed to watch the night before the prison car, but at this moment he was watching The jailer was soundly asleep.

Suddenly, Wuye felt an aura slowly approaching behind him.The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Among the twenty or so jailors, there was only one person with such profound internal strength and super high lightness kung fu.

"Wei Yuqing, why didn't you sleep well, and why did you run out again? Could it be that you tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep because you couldn't see me?" Wuye deliberately raised his chin, and looked provocatively at the expressionless young man in front of him.

Wei Yuqing didn't answer, but just stuffed a black cloak into the prison car, and after a little practice, the cloak seemed to be pulled away by an invisible big hand, and it covered Wuye's body evenly.

"It's made of rabbit fur. It's cold at night." After speaking, Wei Yuqing left on his own. The whole process was light and smooth, without making a single sound, and didn't even disturb the guards sleeping in front of the prison van.

"Who wants you to be troublesome!" Wuye muttered angrily at Wei Yuqing's back, but uncontrollably pulled the cloak over his shoulders, just enough to cover his neck.Of course Wuye knows that his martial arts are higher than Wei Yuqing's, and he has internal strength to protect his body. No matter how cold it is at night, Wei Yuqing probably feels cold without his cloak, right?But as long as he thought that this cloak belonged to Wei Yuqing, he would not refuse it, as if he could get closer to him even just wearing his cloak, and he could even clearly smell the faint cold fragrance on the cloak.

That is the taste that only Wei Yuqing has.

Early the next morning, 22 jailers mounted their horses and continued to escort the death row prisoner Wuye to Huanzhou, thousands of miles away, without any further delay.

Wuye yawned, looking lazy and sleepy, his clothes were still in tatters, and the exposed skin was covered with shocking scars, and Wei Yuqing's cloak had been put on the horse's back again, no one knew What happened last night, he still looked stern, unsmiling, and never participated in any conversations with other jailers.

After walking for more than half a day, there was still no sign of the town, so everyone had to find a few trees to tie their horses, sit on the ground, and distribute today's rations.

After Wei Yuqing got his food, he didn't open his mouth to eat it.

"Brother Wei, why don't you eat?" an older jailer asked him.

"Where's his." Wei Yuqing pointed to Wu Ye who stared blankly in the prison car but didn't receive any food.

The jailer said in a low voice: "Two days ago in Sheng City, the brothers lost a lot of gambling money, and the remaining money was not enough to buy too much rations, so I had to reduce his share, anyway, I will be killed soon. It’s okay to be hungry for a few meals.” After speaking, he smiled flatteringly and nudged Wei Yuqing’s arm with his elbow.

Wei Yuqing looked up at the other guards who were wolfing down steamed buns, and then looked back at Wu Ye, who just met Wu Ye's eyes.

Wuye smiled heartlessly at Wei Yuqing: "It's okay, I'm not hungry at all!"

Wei Yuqing didn't say anything, just lowered his head, wrapped up his steamed buns, put them in his clothes, said "I'll go relieve my hand", and left without looking back.

When he came back again, Wei Yuqing saw that the jailers were leaning against the tree and taking a nap after eating, so he went to the prison cart and stuffed the steamed buns he had left at noon into it.

Knowing that he didn't eat anything at noon, Wuye quickly said, "Don't, don't, I'm really not hungry!" But because his hands were handcuffed to the prison car, he couldn't move, so before he could push Wei Yuqing away, he stuffed the steamed buns came in.

"Are you stupid? How can you have the strength to ride a horse without eating?" Wu Ye was so angry that he picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it out, but Wei Yuqing's face turned cold in an instant, and he blocked him from stuffing the steamed bun, as if he was losing his temper child.

"Your wounds are not healed, and it's impossible to heal without eating. Don't refute! I saw the wound on your ankle was still bleeding last night, so don't try to hide it from me!"

For the first time in so many days, Wuye heard Wei Yuqing say so many words in one breath, and he was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Knowing that he had lost his composure, Wei Yuqing looked away in embarrassment, found a tree far away and sat down against it.

Wuye looked at the slightly deformed steamed buns in his hand and smiled helplessly.

Hey, Lancheng, have you seen that your precious son has perfectly inherited your bad character.

A huge grief suddenly surged in my heart, as if I had accidentally overturned the memory of my memory, corroding my entire chest until a big hole was formed, and it hurt like nothing.

Wuye forced himself not to look at Wei Yuqing's eyebrows and eyes that looked so much like that person, biting the steamed bun, but couldn't help laughing again, on this steamed bun, there was still the moonlight-like cold fragrance on Wei Yuqing's clothes, that fragrance should come from Wei Yuqing hides the chest of the steamed bun.

In the afternoon, the jailers continued to work hard, and finally found an abandoned temple where they could rest in the evening. According to the schedule, they should be less than half a day away from the next town.

Everyone was very happy that night, and finally got rid of this deserted ancient road and entered the bustling and prosperous town. Someone took out a jug of good wine that he kept privately and shared it with everyone. On the way to escort the death row.

The jailer who lowered his vigilance was soon drunk, and no one noticed how meaningful Wu Ye was laughing in the prison car behind him.

The moon hid in the thick clouds early, and there were occasional cries of partridges in the distant forest, but as if they were afraid of disturbing the thick night, the cries disappeared without being noticed in time.

There was a sweet scent of blood in the wind.

As if appearing out of thin air, the chaotic figures instantly surrounded this small open space. After a moment of distraction, the fire was extinguished, and there were not even sparks left.

real darkness.

Wei Yuqing didn't panic at all, and drew out his sword almost at the same time as the fire went out, stood in front of the prison car, held his breath and focused his attention, allowing his eyes to fully adapt to the current environment and respond to all changes with the same.

Although I couldn't see it clearly, I could clearly hear the sound of swords entering and exiting flesh and blood splashing everywhere. After a while, a strong smell of blood mixed into the thick night.Wei Yuqing guessed that there might be no surviving jailers. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to concentrate on protecting the prison cart behind him. As for the jailers who died tragically, he only wished them to rest in peace.

The wind has passed without a trace, the moon is dark, and the locust tree above the head makes a soft rustling sound, as if singing an ancient lament.

Wei Yuqing has already identified that there are only three people who came, and they are all top experts.

He had to fight desperately, not because of his duty, but because he didn't know whether the purpose of these people was to save Wuye or to kill him. The secret of human life is hard to guarantee that it will not be targeted.At this time, Wu Ye was not only handcuffed, but also locked in a prison car, with almost zero combat power, so if these people came to kill him, once Wei Yuqing fell, Wu Ye's death would be announced at the same time.

He will never allow this to happen.

Even if there is no light and shadow, just listening to the sound makes people feel frightened.

The more and more dense sounds of clashing swords, more and more heavy gasping sounds, and more and more frequent blood dripping sounds, all converged into a grand music, singing alone under the vast night.

Wei Yuqing smiled, he should have known that he was no match for these three people, if he had left Wuye and escaped by himself from the beginning, with his lightness kung fu, he would definitely be able to escape successfully.

Oh, what a stupid self.

However, Wei Yuqing knew very well that if he was given another chance to choose, he would still stay and protect Wuye until the last moment of his life.

Wei Yuqing felt that the wound was bubbling with blood, as if even life was flowing away with the blood.He wanted to see Wu Ye again before he died, but he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, he heard the sound of the door of the prison car being opened and the iron chain being cut, he finally let out a long sigh of relief and passed out.
