king and his guard

Just when Xue Ai's soul was about to leave her body, the prison door was kicked open with a bang, a silver light pierced through the air with the sound of a sharp weapon, and with a click, the white silk was cut off in unison.

Xue Ai fell in mid-air, at the same time, the visitor had rushed towards him like lightning, before he fell to the ground, he was firmly held in his arms.

Before he could think about it, he threw the noose around Xue Ai's neck, picked him up on his shoulders and ran straight out of the prison, stepped on several corpses lying on the ground, and flew towards the endless night sky.

Long Jie leaned helplessly on the brocade couch, ordered someone to take the imperial edict to kill Xueai, and the ink fragrance from the tip of the pen stabbed his heart deeply like a sharp knife. From the accident to the present, he has been thinking about it for two whole days After two nights, after writing the imperial edict, he was exhausted, panting and waiting for the news of Xue Ai's death.

Finally someone rushed to report, saying that several eunuchs and guards who delivered the decree were assassinated outside the death cell, Xue Ai was also taken away by a masked man, that man was not as fast as ordinary people, and there was no way to chase him down.

Long Jie's eyes were wide open, this rebellious son really had a secret connection with the master!Immediately, he rose up against the case and said angrily: "Strictly guard the gates of the city, and send more people to hunt down this traitor. If he is found, he will be punished on the spot and bring his head to see the lonely king! Then pass on the decree of the lonely king. If anyone covers up the traitor, Punish them together!"

As soon as the words were finished, An Hou came swaying in lotus steps, with unconcealed pride in his eyes, he said: "It's not as I expected, it must be someone else who snatched Xue Ai."

Long Jie frowned and said, "Queen refers to... the male favorite Wu Shuang?"

An Hou said: "Nine times out of ten. Even if it's not Wu Shuang, there must be other accomplices behind Xue Ai... Regardless of who saved him, just look at the fact that the Fourth Prince gave him a bodyguard for no reason. , it won't be that simple."

Long Jie frowned and pondered: "The beauty is suspecting that the person behind Xue Ai is Long Li?"

Empress An leaned back and said, "I don't dare to doubt myself, I just think for Your Majesty, it's not uncommon for brothers to fight for the throne since ancient times, maybe I worry too much, if I offend you, please forgive me for my ignorance .”

Her words really reminded Long Jie that after thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he became.I couldn't help feeling angry from my heart, and hated secretly, Longli, Gu didn't even think of you...

The sky was pale, I don't know how many hours and how many roads I ran, and there was no one in the front and back, Wu Shuang stopped walking in the forest, and put Xueai on his lap carefully.

The clothes all over his body were soaked in sweat, as if he had been drenched in a heavy rain, Wu Shuang wiped the sweat with his hands, supported Xue Ai's shoulder and shouted urgently: "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai!"

Fortunately, Wu Shuang rescued her in time, Xue Ai finally recovered from the bumpy journey, and heard someone calling her, so she opened her eyes with strength.

Suddenly seeing Wu Shuang's anxious face, Xue Ai was filled with sadness and joy, before she could speak, she coughed.

Seeing that he woke up, Wu Shuang changed his tone excitedly: "Xiao Ai, you finally woke up! It's great that you didn't die!"

"Wu Shuang, did you save me?" Xue Ai asked him panting, her voice was weak.

Wu Shuang's expression darkened, and he sighed, "I heard about you, Xiao Ai, why did you... do this?"

Xue Ai was stunned, and stood up on the ground: "Since you know that I am such a wicked person, why do you want to save me?"

Wu Shuang said: "Although we haven't spent much time together, Wu Shuang firmly believes that you will never do such a thing!"

Xue Ai insisted: "I did it! Everything is the mastermind of this king! It's a pity that this king lost, a complete defeat, and nothing left!"

Wu Shuang immediately said: "But this is not the reason for me to save you or not. Your good and evil, right and wrong, and your choices are my choices and beliefs, because you are my master."

Xue Ai turned her head suddenly, looked straight into Wu Shuang's eyes, and after a long while, she suddenly smiled wryly: "Now I have nothing..."

"But, you still have me!" Wu Shuang looked into his eyes firmly, his tone stronger than his eyes.

Xue Ai sighed: "With your martial arts talents, you can definitely vote for another Ming Lord. You saved my life today, you have done your best, why bother to follow me..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Shuang covered his mouth and said with tears: "Wu Shuang is wandering in this world and has no one to rely on. Thanks to the grace of the prince for saving his life, Wu Shuang has nothing to repay, and now I have to treat my Highness like a brother again." , Wu Shuang is even more grateful! Wu Shuang has already made a heavy oath that he will follow Xiao Ai in this life, and would rather die than leave!"

There was a burst of blood in Xue Ai's chest, and he couldn't control his emotions anymore and hugged him, he also hugged Xue Ai tightly, the wind was blowing by his ears, Xue Ai bit her lip and wept.

Finally he couldn't help crying bitterly: "Wu Shuang, they are the ones who hurt me! I have long seen Empress An's ambition, and I have been holding back and giving in, like a ridiculous shrinking turtle! I just want to calm things down, I just want to live a simple life! I am afraid of intrigue and any casualties, it will be very tiring and painful, I really don't want to! But they are forcing me, Wu Shuang! They are forcing me!"

He was like a wailing child, hiding in Wu Shuang's arms and crying into a mess.Wu Shuang hugged him quietly and waited for him, because no amount of consolation would help at this time, Xiao Ai, you are too kind, you should not have been born in an emperor's family.

After a long time, Xue Ai finally stopped, straightened up in Wu Shuang's arms, exhaled lightly, looked at the brilliant morning glow in the sky, and her heart turned tragic.

Seeing that he was silent, Wu Shuang called out cautiously from behind: "Xiao Ai?"

Xue Ai suddenly said: "I am not reconciled!"

Wu Shuang was very surprised.

"I want revenge, Wu Shuang, I want revenge!" Xue Ai turned around and grabbed Wu Shuang's shoulders, he gritted his teeth with a ferocious face, and seemed to suddenly become another person, "Wu Shuang, I thought about it, in my situation I'm weak and have no ability at all, so I'm going to Beiyue to find my fourth uncle, he has a certain amount of military power, and he has always treated me kindly, I believe he will not stand still."

Wu Shuang nodded and said, "That's a good idea!"

Xue Ai's eyes were shining brightly, she bit her lips and said to herself: "Since the sky will not kill me, there must be my ambition, success or failure... all in one fell swoop!"

Wu Shuang squeezed his hand and gave him an encouraging smile: "I'll be with you!"

The two of them made up their minds and headed northward. Within six or seven miles, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, and after a short walk, they could see the bustling street in front of them, full of traffic, mixed with all kinds of shouts from small vendors. Sound, extremely prosperous and prosperous.

Xue Ai said: "Going forward is the North City Gate. After exiting the city gate and passing the Tianyong Pass in front, we will leave the Royal City."

His words were mixed with too much reluctance and helplessness, no matter what, this is the place where he grew up, how could he not be nostalgic.

Wu Shuang grabbed his arm suddenly and said, "Xiao Ai, look at the guards at the city gate over there are checking closely!"
