Dianxia Qingcheng

"help me……"

Qi Changyi muttered silently.

Yes, he really wanted to escape from Pei Zheng's side, but he couldn't do it at all.

It was easy for Pei Zheng to keep him by his side. If he wanted him to live, he would live, if he wanted him to die, he would die. He never had the strength to resist.

But this time, could he really escape from Pei Zheng's hands?

Several men in black moved away, and the dark figure hidden behind appeared.

"Brother Tang! Why are you here?" Qi Changyi was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Litang, "Are these people arranged by you?"

Zhao Litang walked up to him, and when he saw the little man holding the tattered lantern, his heart was full of longing and distress.

"I arranged it." Bending down to look at the little man, Zhao Litang said softly, "I'm here to rescue you."

He stretched out his hand, and his warm and wide palm spread out in front of Qi Changyi's eyes.

"Would you like to come with me?"

All eyes around were looking this way, waiting for Qi Changyi's answer.

Qi Changyi looked at that hand, raised it tremblingly, and when he was about to hold it, Pei Zheng's threatening words sounded in his ear again.

"Don't think about running away, otherwise, I'll let you know the price."

The little hand immediately retracted, shaking his head while saying repeatedly, "No, no, I can't go, I can't go..."

"Chang Yi, Chang Yi! Don't panic, listen to me first!"

Zhao Litang held his thin and frail shoulders with a little more strength, which caused the little man to tremble and let out a low cry of pain.

"Forehead……"

Seeing his painful face, Zhao Litang quickly let go of his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you? I hurt you? Or, you have a wound on your shoulder? Let me see."

As he said that, he was about to pull off his clothes to check.

Qi Changyi's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Before meeting Pei Zheng, Zhao Litang hadn't led troops to fight at that time, and every time he was injured, only Zhao Litang cared about him and protected him.

It has been a long time since Zhao Litang's anxious and caring tone has been heard, which made him feel unreal. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Litang, with big teardrops rolling in his eye sockets, for fear of blinking. , You will find that you are actually still in that dark and deep prison cell, and all this is just a dream.

It wasn't until the temperature of Zhao Litang's fingers came from his neck that Qi Changyi's tears suddenly hit his hands.

It's warm, unlike Pei Zheng, whose fingers are always cold.

Qi Changyi quickly closed his neckline, not wanting Zhao Litang to see his injuries, "Brother Tang, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm really fine..."

Unexpectedly, when he raised his arm, a small white arm was exposed by the wide cuff, and there were a few shocking red marks on it, which looked like tender new flesh that had been torn from the skin.

Zhao Litang saw it, took his arm away, and pulled the sleeve up again, revealing more red marks, mottled densely extending upwards, hidden in the further inside of the clothes.

Zhao Litang's hand holding his arm became very gentle immediately, "What's going on! Is it Pei Zheng, he hit you?"

Qi Changyi withdrew his arm, pulled back his sleeve, wrapped his arm tightly, took a breath, and didn't speak.

This pitiful look really made Zhao Litang's heart throb with pain.

In fact, the emperor had already ordered him to return to the border area as soon as possible to guard the border, but he was always thinking about Qi Changyi, so he did not leave for a long time.

——It was not until the emperor issued an imperial decree that Zhao Litang had no choice but to repair the queue and prepare to return to the frontier.

He secretly found out that Pei Zheng had brought Qi Changyi back to live in his house. After the marriage, Zhao Litang's original prejudice against Pei Zheng was actually a little less.

Since Pei Zheng was able to get himself injured in order to protect Qi Changyi, he must be able to treat him well.

In this way, I can go back with peace of mind.

Although he hated that little man, as long as he was happy, Zhao Litang thought, he had to let go.

He has an important position, and his body is shrouded in the battlefield. Maybe he will die in a battle and never come back.

He is happier than anyone else to see the silly little people being protected and loved by others.

Unexpectedly, just the night before the departure, the little eunuch Li Yu who had been by Qi Changyi's side all of a sudden ran to his general's mansion covered in blood in the middle of the night.

"General Zhao!" Li Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "I beg you to save Your Highness! I don't know what happened between Your Highness and Mr. Pei, and now he is locked in a secret prison by Mr. Pei. His life and death are uncertain! His Highness I'm weak, I can't bear the pain!"

But the departure matter must not be delayed any longer. Although Zhao Litang was very anxious, he could only continue to lead the team to set off on the second day, and then he brought a few more confidants and quietly returned to the imperial capital.

"Chang Yi, what happened between you and Pei Zheng? Why did he treat you like this?" Zhao Litang didn't go to check the scars on Qi Changyi's body, it must be very scary.

"I thought that although Pei Zheng approached you at the beginning because of the fourth prince, it is impossible for him to have no feelings for you after such a long time. Now it seems that I was wrong. How can I torture you like this if I have feelings? !His heart is cold from beginning to end, no matter how hot the blood is, it can't cover it!"

Zhao Litang clenched his fists, "Don't worry, since I dare to snatch you away from Pei Zhengshou, no matter what happens, I won't let you go again, unless, unless you want to leave..."

Zhao Litang looked at Qi Changyi with sincere eyes, "So Changyi, you don't have to worry about other things, you just need to tell me, now, at this moment, are you willing to come with me?"

Qi Changyi huddled into a ball, lowered his head and remained motionless, as if he had been thinking for a long time.

He wiped his tears desperately with his cuff, and raised his head.

"Brother Tang, I want to go with you."

Zhao Litang finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The people behind seemed a little anxious.

"General, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. There were a lot of guards patrolling outside just now. It seems that the whole city army has been mobilized by some means. The streets and alleys are being searched closely. We have to get out of the city as soon as possible."

Zhao Litang nodded, "Chang Yi, let's go."

Qi Changyi was still holding the dilapidated lantern in his arms, even though the fire had already been extinguished, he refused to throw it down.

"This lantern is broken, throw it away, I'll buy you a new one later."

Zhao Litang said that he was going to get Qi Changyi's lamp, but Qi Changyi avoided his hand holding the lamp, and then shrank back, his eyes were full of alertness and panic and helplessness.

Zhao Litang was helpless, "Okay, okay, don't throw it away, just hold it if you like. Come, I'll help you up."

Only then did Qi Changyi let Zhao Litang support his arm to stand up, but as soon as he stood up straight, Qi Changyi's body shook twice suddenly, and then fell limply back on the straw mat.

There was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, his face became paler and paler, his lips were bloodless, and he looked like he had lost all energy.

Zhao Litang hastily supported his body, holding his small body tightly. It had been a few days since I saw him. He was getting thinner and weaker, and his body was still too weak to look good.

"Wu Quan!" Zhao Litang shouted.

- A man in black stepped forward.

"Give him a look!"

Wu Quan was one of Zhao Litang's soldiers who knew some medical skills, so he hurried over to take Qi Changyi's pulse.

Qi Changyi's pulse condition is very weak, it seems that he must have been greatly stimulated by something, even the consciousness of life is very weak, the vitality is slowly being consumed, and it is quietly withdrawn from the ends of his hair.

It's so cold tonight, and it's hard for him to resist the wind and cold even though he's wearing so many clothes. It's already exhausted his whole body's strength to be able to hold on until now, and now he really can't hold on anymore.

Wu Quan whispered something in Zhao Litang's ear.

Zhao Litang's eyes froze, and he interrupted him loudly, "What are you talking about! This is absolutely impossible! If you talk nonsense, be careful, I will dismiss your military rank!"

Qi Changyi's breath was weak, and he asked with a pale face, "Brother Tang, what's wrong with my body?"

Zhao Litang comforted him and said, "It's okay, Chang Yi will be fine, don't be afraid. The world is so big, there are so many genius doctors, and it's not only the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital who can save people, you will be fine."

Qi Changyi nodded lightly, her obedient appearance made people feel distressed.

Zhao Litang supported him and walked outside the ruined temple. It was pitch black outside, with several black horses parked.

Several subordinates said, "General, just take your Highness to the north until you reach the edge of the city wall. There will be people there to meet you. After leaving the city, continue northward, and within a few days you will be able to catch up with the people who went north." The army. At that time, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Litang nodded, "Be careful, you guys, you must all return to your orders."

"Yes!"

After saluting, they rode their horses towards the south of the city.

Zhao Litang carried Qi Changyi onto the horse, turned himself onto the horse, and then rode the horse and galloped north of the city.

When Pei Zheng rushed to the south of the city, the guards surrounding here had already been tied up and thrown aside.

He stepped forward and tore off a mouthful of cotton wool, put his fingers on his throat, his eyes were shining red, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

"What about people?"

The soldier of the Imperial Guard shrank his neck, "Return...to the words of your lord... When we arrived here, we saw two men in black. Those two men are very skilled in martial arts, and we are not opponents if we try our best to resist..."

Pei Zheng pressed his fingers hard, "Get to the point."

"They, ran away...and, only saw two men in black, and... didn't see anyone else..."

Pei Zheng's fingertips were so fierce that he pinched the soldier until he passed out.

He withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and the mighty Imperial Guard troops came behind him.

"Okay, good, good to make a noise."

The corner of Pei Zheng's mouth curled up, and he gave an order, "Rush to the north of the city immediately, and kill all the men in black you meet again this time."

embankment! "

Holding a torch, the imperial guard hurried to the north of the city.

Pei Zheng also got on his horse and squeezed the reins tightly with his cold fingers.

"If you really dare to run away, I will also capture you at the ends of the earth."
