I became the apex of my nemesis by acting

Bai Chengjue has always been stubborn, once a decision is made, no one can stop it.

Even Miracle Doctor Le's persuasion was ineffective, and when he left angrily with the medicine box on his back, he left only one sentence to do it for himself.

Before dawn the next day, as soon as the city gate opened, Bai Chengjue left the imperial capital on horseback.

Before noon, the news of Bai Chengjue's departure had reached the Imperial Study Room, and Bai Yanqiu was so angry that he threw the documents on the table to the ground.

Eunuch Xu hurriedly knelt down and buried his head, and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Bai Yanqiu sternly said: "Didn't you say that Uncle Huang couldn't afford to be seriously ill?"

"Return to the Holy Lord, the little eunuch who went to Min Wang's mansion yesterday said that it is true that Min Wang is seriously ill."

"Have not woken up from a serious illness? I was bedridden not long ago, and I can drive out of the city this morning. I really treat Gu as a fool!"

He raised the jade seal and was about to smash it to the ground, when Eunuch Xu got up and hurriedly stopped him at the table: "Your Majesty can't do it!"

"It's a good sentence!"

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and put down the jade seal, picked up the jade inkstone on the table and slammed it at Eunuch Xu.

The inkstone was smashed to pieces at Eunuch Xu's feet, even the old slave who watched Bai Yanqiu grow up broke into a cold sweat under Longyan's fury.

He looked at the torn pieces on the ground, and caressed the portrait on the table with the back of his finger. Just now he was so angry that he wanted to cramp his bones, but now he smiled.

"Uncle, you despise me, don't you?"

The laughter was suppressed and treacherous, and the fingertips finally landed on the handsome eyebrows in the painting: "He is obviously just an outsider..."

For the sake of an outsider, I promised to celebrate his birthday before, but it didn't count.

Bai Yanqiu in the imperial city was furious.

Bai Chengjue's horses never stopped outside the imperial city, relying solely on water and dry food to maintain his body along the way.

Tired and resting in the forest for a while, in order to find Xue Beiwang as soon as possible, he almost traveled day and night.

All the way, they relied on the pills prepared by Doctor Le to soothe the sick body. Although the medicine can quickly restore mental strength, the side effects are huge.

Under this friendly greeting, Bai Chengjue didn't feel fluctuated in his heart, and praised Miracle Doctor Le for his excellent medical skills and few enemies.

Relying on the pills given by Miracle Doctor Le, Xue Beiwang had traveled nearly a month, and Bai Chengjue had caught up in only eight days. The horses had changed to eight or nine fast horses along the way, and most of the small porcelain bottle of medicine given by Miracle Le had been eaten.

As they approached the border of Wu State, Bai Chengjue hurried forward, but he and Xue Beiwang were still behind each other.

When he turned over and got off the horse, Bai Chengjue's footsteps were flimsy, and after holding the rein tightly with one hand, he managed to stand still. He hurriedly took out a pill from his bosom and swallowed it. The silver mask covered his face, which was completely drained of blood.

He stood beside the horse and waited for the effect of the medicine to take effect, and his breath gradually stabilized before he led the horse and prepared to leave the capital of Wu State with the certificate of customs clearance.

When leaving the capital, he happened to meet a caravan returning to Wu.

"Little brother, you'd better wait a little longer in the nearby tea house. The fight over there is fierce. Two No. 30 people surround one person in the middle. It's very fierce! You go over now, you can't keep the sword without eyes and accidentally hurt you." .”

Bai Chengjue hurriedly said, "Where is it?"

"Two miles ahead."

Bai Chengjue sped up his horse and rushed towards the direction of Chen Guo. The horse's hooves kicked up the yellow sand along the road, and the wind blowing against his face was mixed with a disgusting fishy smell.

The heavier the fishy smell, the louder the noise of the fight, until the shadows of swords and swords are seen in front of you...

Bai Chengjue drew out his sword and drove his horse to disperse the crowd. He jumped up on the horse and finally used the sword in his hand to cut a bloody path.

Among the crowd, Xue Beiwang was covered in blood, having been stabbed many times in recent days, the usually handsome and cheerful young man was already haggard.

His eyes were dull, and he seemed to be unable to see anything. During the fight, he kept relying on the sound to identify the enemy's position, so that when Bai Chengjue approached, Xue Bei looked sideways at his ears, turned around and stabbed Bai Chengjue with his sword.

Bai Chengjue hastily turned his sword to block the attack, turned his sleeve arrow sideways, and the arrow shot out from the cuff, piercing the throat of the assassin behind Xue Beiwang. The set of movements was smooth and smooth, except for leaving Xue Beiwang's fragile back, and not letting the assassins around There is half a chance to take advantage of.

Fortunately, Xue Beiwang listened to the trajectory of the sound, distinguishing between friend and foe, and stopped fighting Bai Chengjue, and instead focused his hearing on his surroundings.

With a cup of tea, more than 30 killers were killed in pairs, and none of them survived.

Xue Beiwang couldn't see, relying on his sense of hearing, he turned to where Bai Chengjue was, and said, "Thank you for your help, brother, I have offended you so much, Xue must make amends."

Bai Chengjue raised his hand and shook it in front of Xue Beiwang's eyes. Seeing that he didn't respond, he frowned: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"The enemy I met before, I don't know what kind of powder was sprinkled, and my eyes can't see."

Hearing this, Bai Chengjue subconsciously wanted to touch Xue Beiwang's cheek, but as soon as his fingertips touched the upper and lower eyelids, Xue Beiwang took half a step back, pointing the bloody blade at Bai Chengjue unceremoniously.

"Brother, respect yourself."

Bai Chengjue slowly withdrew his hand, calm and in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I don't know where your Excellency is going, I want to meet you and me by chance, if you don't mind..."

"Never mind, no need."

Xue Beiwang turned around and just half a step forward when he tripped over the corpse. He wanted to stand up with his lips tightly pressed together, groped forward with his hands, and turned over in embarrassment from the corpse.

He knew that there were a pair of eyes looking at him all the time, and he was already arrogant, but now he felt a little humiliated by the eyes behind him.

He took two steps forward, heard the man still following behind, and pointed his sword at Bai Chengjue again.

"If you follow me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Is this the young master's attitude towards the savior?"

Xue Beiwang froze on the spot when he heard the sound of Mr. Xue, and the scene when Jueyu called him Mr. Xue rang in his ears. He couldn't help but clenched the handle of the knife tightly in his palm, as if he had been stabbed severely by someone.

He gritted his teeth, took out an ingot of silver and threw it at Bai Chengjue's feet.

"I'll give you the money, I don't owe you any more, don't follow me anymore."

Originally seeing that Xue Beiwang was blind, he wanted to escort Xue Beiwang away as if he had met by chance, but now seeing that he couldn't get in, he had no choice but to put on a vest.

"Brother Xue is really ruthless. I came all the way to send Brother Xue back, but Brother Xue sent me away like a beggar?"

Bai Chengjue suppressed his voice, trying to change his usual tone of voice.

"Bai... Brother Bai?"

"Otherwise, who do you think still cares about this business?"

Xue Beiwang moistened his chapped lips: "Thank you, Brother Bai, for your rescue."

"polite."

After a few seconds of silence, Xue Beiwang slightly closed his palms.

"Then... is he okay? Did he ask me when he woke up?"

Before Bai Chengjue could answer, Xue Beiwang shook his head, with a little mockery in his smile: "Forget it, don't tell me, it's not important."

"He's fine. He didn't ask about it. It doesn't matter to him that you left."

Xue Bei looked red and murmured, "It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter..."

Seeing Xue Beiwang like this, Bai Chengjue clenched his fists, and his tone was still calm and gentle when he spoke: "Let's stay for two days first, your eyes need to be healed before we go on the road."

"Don't bother, even if you can see it, you won't be able to see the person you want to see in the future."

Seeing Xue Beiwang like this made Bai Chengjue feel uncomfortable.

He took out the jade pendant from his bosom, originally thinking to leave it for Nianxiang after Xue Beiwang left, but now he decided to cut it off, keeping these dead things would only make people sad.

Since Wu Guo is farewell and will not see each other again in the future, why not make a clean break now.

Touching the lines of the jade pendant with his fingertips, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then handed the jade pendant to Xue Beiwang.

"Before leaving, the prince said that if I am lucky enough to meet brother Xue, I will return this jade pendant to you."

"...Give it back to me?" There was a little more loneliness in his expression.

"He said that brother Xue is useless to him now, forget all about the past!"

Xue Bei looked Momoran, and took a long time to slowly accept the jade pendant that Bai Chengjue handed over. His fingertips brushed the jade pendant over and over again, his silent eyes were filled with water, and just looking at it made people feel distressed.

It turned out that the sincerity entrusted to her was smashed to pieces by that person in the end...

"Thank you." He paused every word.

Xue Beiwang clenched his back molars. He wanted to return the jade in his arms, but when he touched the cold jade face, he couldn't bear it for a moment. He pulled out his hand and gently pressed the jade in his arms through his clothes. Jue, bowed to Bai Chengjue.

"Since the item has been delivered, Brother Bai please return it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, and staggered when he was tripped by the corpse before taking two steps. In front of Bai Wuming, he was so ashamed that he wished he could bury himself in the ground. .

Seeing that Xue Beiwang couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north in the corpse, Bai Chengjue stepped forward and grabbed Xue Beiwang's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think you can go back like this now?"

"Brother Bai was too worried. He was able to come here safe and sound before, and he can return to the country of Chen safe and sound afterward."

"The mountains are high and the waters are far away. Do you really think you can return to Chen Country like this?"

This assassination was expected by Bai Chengjue.

Once you think about the purpose of the person behind Xue Beiwang's sending here, you will understand that the other party has no intention of letting him go back alive.

People can't die in the territory of Wu State. The previous assassination was more like a wheel battle that consumed Xue Beiwang's physical strength and energy. In this way, it is not known how many killers the other party planted along the road from Wu State to Chen State.

Although Bai Chengjue had found out that there was a prince in Chen Guozhong conspiring with King Zhao to seize the heir apparent, he still had little understanding of Chen Guo, and was still unclear about the current situation in Chen Guo except for the struggle for the heir apparent. way!

If it wasn't so, why would he harm himself by traveling thousands of miles away.

Xue Beiwang said in a deep voice, "I don't know."

"Brothers, if you can't return home safely, I can't feel at ease either."

"...Then there will be Brother Labor Bai."

Seeing that Xue Beiwang was no longer stubborn, Bai Chengjue breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a wooden root from the pile of corpses and handed it to Xue Beiwang.

"Hold on to it."

"hold head high?"

Bai Chengjue's wooden stick lightly touched the back of Xue Beiwang's hand: "Brother Xue still wants to hold hands with me?"

Xue Beiwang hastily grasped the wooden stick, and frowned slightly: "Brother Laobai is here."

He took two steps forward, and because of the internal force just now, the pain climbed up his body again. The fingers holding the wooden stick were hoarse like tens of thousands of ants. The eyes were constantly shrouded in darkness. He took out the porcelain bottle from his waist, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat.

The footsteps were almost unsteady, the palm clenched the wooden stick tightly, the pain intensified, the pinched wood exploded, the wooden thorns cut the palm, and blood oozes from the fingers.

He took a deep breath, Thumb opened the jade cork, poured three or four pills of medicine from the porcelain bottle into his mouth, his breathing became more and more heavy.

Xue Beiwang heard that Bai Chengjue's breathing was unsteady, and asked with concern, "Brother Bai is injured?"

"...No." Bai Chengjue tried his best to breathe calmly, "It's so ugly to see a dead body."

"No, let me see..."

Xue Beiwang stroking the wooden stick moved forward, groping forward with one hand restlessly, until his palm was pressed against Bai Chengjue's chest, Xue Beiwang withdrew his hand feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Give me your hand."

Bai Chengjue let go of the wooden stick, took half a step back, squatted down and said, "He died really badly. Brother Xue slashed open the man's face with his sword, and the nose and lips were ripped open from the middle. Tsk, everyone is dead. , and make people die better..."

Xue Beiwang frowned, groping forward with the source of the sound, his legs were tripped by the corpse lying in the middle again, his body fell forward, Bai Chengjuan quickly caught the man into his arms with sharp eyesight and hands.

At this time, Xue Beiwang raised his hand, touched Bai Chengjue's chin, and moved his blood-stained hand to his nose.

"Are you vomiting blood?"

Bai Chengjue wiped away the bright red from his lips: "If you kill someone, blood will inevitably splatter on your face."

Xue Beiwang still had a stern face, as if he had sensed something, he tried to touch Bai Chengjue with his hand, but as soon as his finger touched his lips, Bai Chengjue pushed him away.

Seeing Xue Beiwang fell to the ground in a state of distress, Bai Chengjue wanted to reach out to help him up, but then retracted embarrassingly, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xue respects himself."

Xue Beiwang stood up slowly, looked aside silently, and said softly, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I know something, so you dare not let me touch it?"

"The same men are so tired and crooked! Bai Mou came to see each other off, but thinking about the brotherhood between you and me, it is not as good as a peach. This time, your love hurts first, and Bai Mou doesn't care about it anymore. Bai Chengjue drew out his sword and pointed it at Xue Beiwang's throat, "If there is any disrespect again, don't blame Bai's sword for having no eyes."

"The sword has no eyes?"

Xue Bei looked forward half a step, Bai Chengjue gritted his teeth and did not take back the sword, allowing the tip of the sword to cut through the skin.

For a moment, the disappointment in those empty pupils could not be concealed, Xue Beiwang raised his hand and pressed down on the blade of the sword.

"So it wasn't..." He took half a step back, stepped on the corpse, staggered and slipped his arm, then stood still and bowed to Bai Chengjue, "Xue has offended me, I hope Brother Bai will forgive me."

Looking at this devastated appearance, Bai Chengjue knew that at that moment Xue Beiwang seemed to guess him again, as long as he got close and touched his skin.

No matter what his appearance, Xue Beiwang could guess it was him.

It's like sleeping in each other's arms on the bed every night, this person has engraved everything about him into his bone marrow.

Bai Chengjue picked up the wooden stick, pretending to be impatient and knocked on the back of Xue Beiwang's hand: "Hold on, stay longer, you and I will spend the night with these corpses."

"kindness."

Relying on wooden sticks for traction, Bai Chengjue led Xue Beiwang around the pile of corpses.

Fearing that Xue Beiwang would recognize people by touch, Bai Chengjue had no choice but to leave the horse and walk forward with Xue Beiwang.

Xue Beiwang asked, "Brother Bai doesn't ride a horse yet?"

"The horse is dead."

The abandoned horse behind looked aggrieved at the distant owner, pawed at the dirt twice with its hooves, raised its front hooves and let out a long howl.

Bai Chengjue glanced coldly at the steed not far away, his lips tightened into a line, and his brows frowned slightly.

Xue Beiwang couldn't see it, but he poked his ears back sensitively: "Is there a horse behind you?"

"What? Brother Xue still wants Bai to wrap you in his arms." Bai Chengjue stopped, raised his scabbard against Xue Beiwang's side neck, "Brother Xue has a bad intention for Bai again?"

Why does co-riding involve evil intentions!

Xue Beiwang couldn't laugh or cry, he would never pinch and pinch Bai Wuming on the horse, he would have been rude to someone else, but Bai Wuming had saved him several times after all, so he couldn't say harsh words, he could only speak.

"Brother Bai, you have misunderstood. I only have brotherhood towards you, and I have nothing else to say!"

"Since that's the case, brother Xue should respect himself in the future."

Xue Beiwang opened his mouth. He wanted to explain, but when he thought that Bai Wuming was the witness of his relationship with Bai Chengjue, he thought it would be useless to say more.

Some things are explained again, but the description will only become darker and darker.

The two of them had no horses, so they walked on their legs alone.

There are too few post houses where you can stay temporarily outside the country, and the sky is getting darker. Bai Chengjue looked at Xue Beiwang sadly. If it weren't for his keen sense of touch, why would he abandon his horse and walk.

Although he suffered a lot in the past [-] years, it was the first time he had walked such a long distance on foot. Bai Chengjue led Xue Beiwang to sit down beside the rock, bent over and rubbed his legs and waist.

After recovering a bit, he dragged his tired body to the forest to pick up a few pieces of wood.

Bai Chengjue fumbled for the package to start a fire, but when he found nothing, he realized that both the flint and the fire bag fell on the horse's back.

He sighed, resting his hand on his forehead, took a moment to take out the dagger to sharpen the wood, and started the most primitive method of his ancestors - drilling wood to make fire.

About a cup of tea, he wiped the sweat from his brow, and let out a long sigh as he looked at the unmoved wood.

Xue Beiwang groped along the source of the sound to Bai Chengjue's side, reached out and touched the wood, pressed his fingertips on the tip of the stick and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Bai, let me come, I am familiar with this matter." Xue Beiwang touched the wood, "More hay, it will be easier to ignite the fire."

"it is good."

Bai Chengjue found some hay, and Xue Beiwang sat by the woodpile with the forage and skillfully turned the stick. After turning for a while, the dry grass ignited with sparks. It became a fire that could keep warm.

After confirming that the fire would not be extinguished easily, Bai Chengjue took out the steamed buns from his luggage, put them on the wood and roasted them hot, then wrapped them in a handkerchief and handed them to Xue Beiwang. Xue Beiwang took a bite of the steamed buns politely. It also tastes like a milky aroma.

"Come on, eat another one."

Bai Chengjue tore open the baked steamed bun, sprinkled a small layer of meat floss in the middle, and sent it to Xue Beiwang.

Xue Beiwang took a bite, his dull pupils dilated slightly, and said softly, "Are people in Prince Min's Mansion that particular about food?"

"In this case, I have to supplement." After finishing speaking, Bai Chengjue leaned closer to Xue Beiwang's side, "Is it delicious?"

"kindness."

"Just delicious."

Bai Chengjue turned the wooden stick for baking steamed buns, glanced at the half-eaten cold steamed buns in his hand, the corners of his lips raised.

He is not particular about food, but it happens that the nobles of the palace are lucky enough to taste some delicacies in the world.

In addition, it is good to eat something, and the meat floss and jerky in the package is to replenish some energy when on the road.

Nowadays, in this barren land, it can be used together with steamed buns for a tooth-making festival.

"Brother Bai, you all like to use orchid scented clothes in the Min Palace?"

Before Bai Chengjue could swallow the cold steamed buns, he coughed choked up by Xue Beiwang's question.

It's just a sensitive touch, and this sense of smell is not inferior to ordinary people.

Others have already smelled of sweat during the bumpy journey, but Bai Chengjue is different, after all, he is the top card trained by the former emperor, and the medicines used on him never hurt the body or not, as long as they are useful.

If it wasn't for the fact that the first emperor knew what courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame are, the methods he used to deal with Bai Chengjue would be cultivating stepping stones, and he was obviously trying to teach him to play with things...

However, this orchid fragrance is very faint, and it can be covered up with incense on the clothes on weekdays, but whoever is on the road can be so delicate that it can be scented with an incense burner before leaving.

Bai Chengjue thought for a while, then took off the purse that was close to him and handed it to Xue Beiwang: "Are you talking about this sachet?"

Xue Beiwang leaned forward and sniffed it, then lowered his head and took a bite of the steamed bun: "Sachet...it turns out that a person like Brother Bai lives so delicately on weekdays..."

"Working beside the prince, you have to pay attention to everything."

"Speaking of him, there are some questions that Xue has been wanting to ask all this time. I wonder if Big Brother Bai can answer one or two?"

Xue Beiwang waited for a while, but did not hear Bai Chengjue's response. He twisted open the water bag and took a sip of water, holding the mouth of the bag tightly.

"Did Brother Bai know from the beginning that Jueyu and King Min are the same person?"

"……Yes."

"I met him for the first time, and he was kidnapped and seriously injured. Is this a trap prepared for me from the beginning?"

"Yes."

Under the firelight, Xue Beiwang's expression was the same as usual, but the steamed buns on Bai Chengjue's wooden stick had been blackened by the fire.

Xue Beiwang said: "When I first entered Prince Min's mansion, Lantern Club assassinated him. He could have left me to fend for myself. Why did he send me back as Jueyu?"

"...Beauty saves the hero, in order to make you give up on him."

"Why did he drink the poison that would cause dumbness so that King Zhao would stop attacking me?"

Bai Chengjue stared at the charcoal-like steamed buns, was silent for two or three seconds, and said with a slight smile: "In order to lower Zhao Wang's vigilance, I can stay in the mansion to search for evidence of Zhao Wang's collusion with the enemy."

"These days, doesn't he have any affection for me?"

"Brother Xue, the person who can even plot against himself, who do you think he will use affection for?" Bai Chengjue sighed softly, and put down the scorched steamed bun, "Since we are leaving, we should plan our way forward carefully, and treat the old love entanglement with the prince as a cloud of the past. Let's go..."

Xue Beiwang sneered.

The moments in the past could be scattered so easily, why is it that now he responds to this sentence with unbearable heartache.

"Since Big Brother Bai is looking for things for others, and our friendship is all calculated, why do you have to make this trip?"

Bai Chengjue lowered his eyes: "Brother Xue thinks that as long as you ask, Bai will definitely answer?"

"Because I'm curious what else Bai Chengjue wants? He wants it, and as long as I have it, I can give it to him." Xue Beiwang threw the package in front of Bai Chengjue, "There are three important letters in it, plus the evidence collected by Bai Chengjue. There is a chance to finalize the matter of King Zhao Tongguo."

Bai Chengjue looked at the package in front of him and said, "Brother Xue, what are you doing?"

"Now that I'm useless, shouldn't it be time for Brother Bai to do something?"

Bai Chengjue frowned: "What kind of hands are you moving?"

"kill me."

"It's just nonsense!" Bai Chengjue threw the package back in front of Xue Beiwang, "I'm tired, and I don't want to be sad with Brother Xue anymore, please do it yourself."

When Bai Chengjue stood up, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt a fishy sweetness pouring out of his throat. He covered his lips with his hand, swallowing the fishy smell forcefully.

He walked to the side of the rock and lay down on his side under the package.

After eight days of sleepless nights, I didn't expect that I didn't feel sleepy when I lay down, only the forehead hurt so badly, Bai Chengjue couldn't fall asleep, tossed and turned, sat up and looked at Xue Beiwang who was still sitting by the fire.

Obviously, all Xue Beiwang's actions were as he thought, looking at his sad back, he still couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Even if everything in the past was deceitful, you and I met each other because we met by fate. Does Bai have to be full of scheming and not have the slightest thought of old love?"

Xue Beiwang sat by the fire, unable to close his eyes.

Thinking back to that day in the forest farm again, the young emperor of Wu's words made his heart sink, and his heart sank.

It turned out that a liar who was by the little oiran's side could remember the old love, and even though he took out a heart, the little oiran never fell in love with him...

The author has something to say: Today's Wangwang is also a day of being pierced.

small theater:

When the little oiran Min Wangpi is about to post.

Xue Beiwang [dodges]: My lord, please respect yourself

When you want to touch the little oiran hero skin.

Bai Chengjue [draws the sword]: Brother Xue respects himself.

Xue Beiwang [hugs legs and legs wronged]: So will love disappear?

There will be an update in the evening, thank you for your support and company, thank you.
