Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

In the moonlight of the water, he stood upright, with a calm and stern look, and he had no fear in the face of the steps full of blood and corpses, as if what was in front of him was not the stairs, but the whole world.

When Ye Chenxi, who was wielding a sword to kill the enemy, saw him, his heart beat like a drum. Although the person in front of him changed his face and was no longer his familiar face, the familiar gaze still made his blood boil.The gazes of the two were intertwined through the light of the sword, and at that moment, it seemed that the stern light of the sword and the bloody wind and rain did not exist, and only the tenderness in their eyes remained in the world. Even if it was only for a moment, there were thousands of years left.

When Ye Chenxi came back to his senses, he immediately crossed the crowd and came to him, knelt respectfully and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Mo Yichen, Xue Lingyun, Hou An and Lu Shaoxing came back to their senses, and they also knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor!"

The former emperor's old party who came with them also knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ye Chenxi's guards saw Ye Chenxi bowing his head and proclaiming himself a vassal. Although they were fighting and couldn't kneel down, they still shouted long live.Seeing this situation, the forbidden army of the former emperor's old party also shouted, and for a moment, the palace was filled with the sound of shouting long live, which was like water, endlessly.

However, at this exciting moment, some people knew that they were bowing their heads to Emperor Ye Qingxiao of Dongyue, while others thought they were bowing to Chu Lingxi.

The front of the Hall of Scales has become the main battlefield tonight. Swords, armor, corpses and severed limbs can be seen everywhere. Countless soldiers shed their blood for their beliefs.Ye Qingxiao has been standing in front of the hall, tall and tall, proud of the sky, Ye Chenxi is guarding beside him with a long sword dripping with blood, and never leaves, although occasionally someone breaks through the guard's line of defense and wants to kill Ye Qingxiao , but were all killed by Ye Chenxi's sword.

The morale of Ye Chenxi's faction was high, and until the middle of the night, they almost wiped out all the imperial troops of Chu Aohan's faction.Lu Shaoxing looked at Chu Aohan's remnants who had gradually lost their ability to resist, and couldn't hide his excitement. He respectfully said to Ye Qingxiao: "Now the imperial palace is under His Majesty's control, and His Majesty will hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, how about Your Majesty, go and rest first!"

Xue Lingyun snorted coldly, and said, "Lord Lu seems to be happy too soon."

Lu Shaoxing was startled when he heard the words, and asked back: "What is the explanation of nephew's words?"

At this time, Ye Qingxiao who was standing in front of him suddenly said: "Thank you Lord Lu for your help, I am very grateful." After speaking, he tore off the human skin mask, smiled at Lu Shaoxing, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Ye Qingxiao!" Lu Shaoxing was startled, his blood turned pale immediately, he suddenly turned his gaze to Xue Lingyun, and said angrily: "Xue Lingyun, you actually lied to this old man!"

Xue Lingyun looked back at Lu Shaoxing, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and his tone was as cold as winter's frost: "Lu Shaoxing, my father's body is still hanging on the top of the city looking at you!"

Lu Shaoxing was startled again when he heard the words, subconsciously took a few steps back, his face became even more ugly: "You...you already knew?"

Xue Lingyun snorted coldly, and said: "If you don't avenge this revenge, I, Xue Lingyun, will be a son of man in vain." After speaking, there was a flash of cold light, and Lu Shaoxing's head fell to the ground.Several ministers of Rising Sun Kingdom who were standing not far away screamed and ran down the stairs.

Xue Lingyun's actions seemed to be a signal. The East Vietnamese soldiers who had gradually stopped killing showed their butcher knives at the allies just now. Although the Rising Sun Forbidden Army saw Ye Qingxiao tearing off the human skin mask, they couldn't react for a while. Then several people fell down, the bloody wind rose again, the shouts of killing resounded throughout the palace again, and a new round of killing started again.

The night was deep, the moon was shining like snow, and the once-blossoming imperial palace was now full of blood, and the smell of blood permeated the entire imperial palace, making people want to vomit.

After this drastic change, the Imperial Army of the Rising Sun knew that they had become a legitimate rebel army. Everyone was heartbroken and their fighting spirit was completely lost.Some staunch soldiers wanted to kill Ye Qingxiao to atone for their sins before they died. Suddenly, several people rushed up the slippery bluestone steps, trying to break through the protective circle of Ye Chenxi's guards. Ye Qingxiao stood among the guards , with a calm demeanor, he didn't care about the turbulent murderous aura coming towards him.

"Ye Qingxiao, you pretended to be the Fourth Highness and lied to me, a hero of the Rising Sun Forbidden Army, and I will definitely tear you to pieces!" One of the Rising Sun soldiers shouted loudly while charging, his voice was hoarse, but full of murderous intent, It's chilling.

Ye Chenxi's eyes froze, she moved quickly and swung her sword like a monkey, but in the blink of an eye, the soldier who was shouting just now was decapitated.Ye Chenxi looked contemptuously at the head rolling in the pool of blood, snorted coldly, and then retreated to Ye Qingxiao's side.

Ye Qingxiao glanced at the head indifferently, and said: "He can't kill me, he can only show his tongue, why are you angry?"

Ye Chenxi is not someone who gets angry easily, and she is even more unwilling to waste her eyes on such innocuous passers-by, but when she first heard that person cursing Ye Qingxiao, she still couldn't help getting angry.Before meeting Ye Qingxiao, he was worried day and night, as long as he thought of how Chu Aohan would torture Ye Qingxiao by any means, his heart would be pierced like a knife.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking anxiously: "Has Chu Aohan tortured His Majesty?"

Ye Qingxiao shook her head when she heard the words, with a smile on her lips: "Chu Aohan is a gentleman, he has always been very polite to me."

Seeing Ye Qingxiao's expression, Ye Chenxi couldn't help feeling sour: "Your Majesty seems to appreciate Chu Aohan very much?"

"Chu Aohan is a character like dragon scales and phoenix feathers. Before I ascended the throne, I cherished him. If it weren't for the dispute between the two countries, I would have become a confidant. It's a pity that it is impossible now." There was regret in the words.

Ye Chenxi's heart tightened, and the soreness in her chest became even worse. She couldn't help but increase the strength of her grip on the sword, and remained silent.

In the second half of the night of the battle, the situation was settled, and only part of the Rising Sun Army was stubbornly resisting. Ye Qingxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ye Chenxi beside him: "Before returning to Dongyue, I still want to go to one place."

Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Ye Qingxiao nodded with a smile, but her expression turned cold in an instant, and her words clanged loudly: "I want the world to see the fate of betraying me, Dongyue!"

Ye Chenxi had this intention a long time ago, and when she heard Ye Qingxiao's words, there was a bit of coldness between the corners of her eyes and brows: "The person who betrayed me in Dongyue, even if he is thousands of miles away, I will kill him .”

At this time, the guards had already brought hundreds of horses, Ye Chenxi explained a few words to Su Moyun, and then helped Ye Qingxiao get on the horse, Xue Lingyun and Mo Yichen each rode a horse to protect Ye Qingxiao .The other guards have also mounted their horses and are on standby.

Ye Chenxi let out a long laugh, flew onto the horse, and said to the Rising Sun Forbidden Army who were still resisting: "Go and tell Chu Aohan that Ye Chenxi thanks His Majesty Chu Aohan for taking care of him. We will meet later."

After finishing speaking, he rode to Ye Qingxiao's side, Ye Qingxiao glanced at him, slapped his ass, and said: "Let's go!"

Ye Chenxi followed closely, honking and walking, very flamboyant.Seeing this, Mo Yichen covered his mouth and smiled lowly.Xue Lingyun said: "I heard that His Highness used to go out to fight, and whenever he stole the camp, he would go through the camp with his horns. It was like entering a land without people, which often made the enemy's teeth itch with hatred."

Sure enough, the Forbidden Army of the Rising Sun was furious, but he had no choice but to watch them go away.

24. The hardest thing is the king

Prince Yu's Mansion is not far from the Chaoyang Gate of the Imperial Palace. At this time, King Yu Ye Payang had already received the news of the palace change and deployed defenses.He paced back and forth in the main room anxiously, sending people out to inquire about news every once in a while.

At present, he only knows that the former emperor's old party seized the palace, but he doesn't know that Ye Qingxiao is involved, otherwise, he would have already escaped by now.

The more he paced, the more distracted he became. He stopped, picked up the porcelain cup on the tea table, and took a sip of tea. The tea was already cold and tasted bitter. In a rage, he threw the teacup to the ground, making a crisp sound.

A servant heard the sound and saw King Yu's angry face, his face was as pale as paper in fright, and he was shaking while packing the teacup.

After the servants cleaned up, a spy just came back. King Yu immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is the situation in the palace now?"

The spy's face was pale, although it was the beginning of spring, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his voice trembled a little: "His Royal Highness, it turns out that those former imperialists were deceived, and the person they rescued was Ye Qingxiao. Now The East Vietnamese Army and the Rising Sun Forbidden Army are fighting, and the situation is not good for the Rising Sun Forbidden Army... I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

King Yu's whole body was shocked, as if he had been bullied by frost, his haggard face was full of panic, after a while, he came to his senses and said anxiously: "This king can't just sit and wait for death, this king must go out of the city to take refuge temporarily."

"Your Highness must not leave the city. Ye Qingxiao made such a fuss in the palace, but he didn't see the Beijing camp entering the palace to rescue him. Ye Qingxiao must have ambushed soldiers outside the city to assassinate the rescuers. If His Highness If you go out of the city, you are afraid of dying."

Hearing what the spies said, King Yu was suddenly enlightened. He forced himself to calm down, thought for a moment, and then said: "Ye Qingxiao must not dare to stay in Thailand for a long time. After tonight, he will leave Beijing quickly. As long as this king Just stay up until Chu Aohan returns to the palace, life and death only depends on tonight."

After hearing this, the spy nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, as long as His Highness hides in the private residence tonight, and when Chu Aohan returns to the palace, Ye Qingxiao will have nothing to do with His Highness."

With a firm idea, King Yu clapped his hands vigorously and strode out of the main room: "It's not too late, let's go right away."

After finishing speaking, he ordered dozens of guards outside the main room, and walked out of the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.Just after more than ten battles, he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far away. King Yu's face changed drastically. Knowing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered: "Hurry back to the mansion and close the gate!"

Before he had time to act, those hundreds of riders rushed over like shooting stars, only to hear a clear male voice say: "Uncle Emperor, you have been away for a few years, are you safe?"

King Yu didn't care about him, he just shouted to the guards beside him with a pale face, "Go!"

The group of them took a few steps back, and another majestic and cold voice came from behind: "Uncle Huang, don't try to escape, since we met today, either you will die or I will die."

As soon as the words fell, a long sword flew towards him like a lightning flash and a rainbow. King Yu quickly dodged and swiped the sword with his backhand to block it. After a clang, he and Ye Chenxi each backed away.King Yu glanced at Ye Qingxiao who was sitting on horseback, and in a moment of thought, he turned his head and gave his guards a look. Immediately, several guards approached Ye Qingxiao while beating, intending to hijack Ye Qingxiao. Qingxiao.

Seeing this, Xue Lingyun rode his horse in front of Ye Qingxiao, and ordered the guards behind him: "Protect Your Majesty!"

With an order, Ye Chenxi's guards immediately protected Ye Qingxiao tightly.

Yu Wang and Xue Lingyun had already met each other on the battlefield back then, and now the enemies are jealous when they meet, but Yu Wang is pressed every step of the way by Ye Chenxi, and has no time to take Xue Lingyun into consideration.

The battle was in full swing, when the porter of King Yu's Mansion heard the movement outside the door, he opened the door to peep, his face turned livid with fright, and then quickly ran into King Yu's Mansion to gather troops.

Ye Qingxiao's expression changed slightly, and she said to Ye Chenxi: "Chenxi, make a quick decision."

Ye Chenxi knew that time was running out, so he waved to the guards behind him and ordered them to guard the door, not to let the guards in King Yu's mansion come out to rescue King Yu. There is no way to retreat, tired of coping, so he had to speak to disturb his mind: "Ye Chenxi, today you help Ye Qingxiao kill this king, and your fate will be worse than this king in the future."

Ye Chenxi laughed a lot when she heard the words, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Huang, I'm afraid Uncle Huang won't see that day."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chenxi's eyes turned cold, with a murderous look, and between flashes of the long sword, a sword cut off King Yu's right arm. King Yu screamed, his body was shaking, blood was like rain, his arm and The long sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Ye Chenxi didn't let him have a chance to breathe, chopped off his head with a sword, threw it into Prince Yu's mansion, and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to betray me, Dongyue, even if he chases him thousands of miles away, this king will not hesitate! "

Once King Yu died, his entourage was no longer a threat, and most of them dispersed in shock. Although there were still a few loyal guards who wanted to avenge King Yu, they were not successful and were quickly wiped out.

Ye Chenxi wiped the long sword in his hand with a brocade cloth, put it back into the scabbard, then calmly mounted the horse, pulled the rein, and said to Ye Qingxiao with a smile: "Let's go! My brother and Mo Yun have made an appointment in the city. The doors meet, he should have arrived."

Ye Qingxiao nodded when she heard the words, waved her hand, and ordered: "Get out of the city!"

With the sound of horses' crowing, the team of blood-soaked horses disappeared into the long street in an instant, and the originally noisy street gradually quieted down, only the disgusting smell of blood lingered for a long time.

After the monarchs and ministers of the Rising Sun Kingdom arrived at the residence in the suburbs, a vegetarian banquet was held as required, and the monarchs and ministers had fun together.After the banquet, everyone has a rest.

In the early morning of the next day, after Chu Aohan took a bath, he changed into plain white gauze and stood on the steps under the altar.All the officials followed behind him in official uniforms, everyone looked dignified, and no one dared to make noise.

The music sounded, and the passionate voice seemed to fall from the sky, and it was endless in everyone's ears, which was very exciting.

Chu Aohan was about to walk up the steps when he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far away. Chu Aohan frowned and turned around abruptly. Stained with blood, the soldiers were crumbling on their horses.

Chu Aohan's heart tightened, knowing that something had happened in the palace, he quickly walked towards the soldier.As soon as the soldier pulled the rein, he immediately fell off the horse. He wanted to kneel down to Chu Aohan, but he was unable to get up, so he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Lord Lu and some of the imperial guards have rebelled! Lord Lu Colluded with King Kang, sneaked into the palace late at night, and started killing, almost all the forbidden troops in the palace were wiped out..."

Having said that, the soldier couldn't help crying.

These words hit everyone's heart like thunder in the drought, and everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and they became a mess.Chu Aohan's face was ashen-colored, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and he asked anxiously: "King Kang rebelled? Where's Ye Qingxiao?"

All the officials heard it like falling clouds and mist. They didn't know why Chu Aohan suddenly mentioned the Emperor Dongyue who was said to have been killed by him, but the soldier wiped his tears and said in a hateful voice: "Master Lu has been beheaded by Xue Lingyun. Qing Xiao and Ye Chenxi left Beijing together."

When everyone heard Xue Lingyun's name, they felt as if they were in a fog. They were completely clueless. Only Chu Aohan could guess. He no longer cared about offering sacrifices to heaven, so he ordered someone to bring a wooden chair and sat down. He also ordered the imperial doctor to bandage the soldier, and then said in a deep voice, "Please tell me the whole story."

The soldier was exempted from kneeling by Chu Aohan, and was sitting on a low stool to be bandaged by the imperial doctor. He tried to explain the whole thing in as concise a way as possible, while all the officials stood by and listened, their expressions changing frequently. Some of those who secretly colluded with Lu Shaoxing were so shocked that their backs were covered with cold sweat.

Chu Aohan's handsome face was already full of evil spirits, when he heard the whole story, he suddenly slapped the chair, and with a bang, the chair was cut off abruptly. Said: "Your Majesty calm down."

Chu Aohan got up and glanced at all the officials one by one, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and after a while, he shouted: "Zhu Mou."

Among the hundreds of officials kneeling down, Zhu Mou, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly came out: "The minister is here!"

"You immediately send a team to explore the way back to Beijing to see if there is an ambush."

"I obey the order!" Zhu Mou took the order to retreat, and immediately went to mobilize the troops.

Chu Aohan watched Zhu Mou walk away, ordered someone to fetch pens and ink, hurriedly wrote a letter, and then shouted: "Tan Xian."

Loyal and Lie General Tan Xian heard the voice, and replied with great enthusiasm: "The minister is here!"

"Take my handbook and go to the capital camp, order them to block all the roads out of Beijing, and search all places within [-] miles of the capital. If you encounter suspicious people, arrest them immediately. In case of resistance, everyone except Dongyue Emperor Ye Qing Xiao, kill other personalities."

When he said the word Ye Qingxiao, his voice was cold, and he actually gritted his teeth.

"I obey the order!" Tan Xian respectfully took the handbook and left quickly.

All the officials were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to take a breath. Ever since Chu Aohan came to the throne, has he ever encountered such a thing?Originally thought that catching Ye Qingxiao would take the opportunity to cause civil turmoil in Dongyue, but unexpectedly, Dongyue used his tricks. Not only did he instigate rebellion against the former emperor's old party, rescue Ye Qingxiao, and even killed King Yu.

What surprised him the most was that Ye Chenxi, who hated Ye Qingxiao so much, was willing to give up the throne and rescue Ye Qingxiao back to Dongyue.He had seen the scars on Ye Qingxiao's body with his own eyes, if it wasn't for revenge, how could Ye Chenxi treat him like this?Now why...

If Ye Qingxiao had been killed with a sword at the beginning, there would be no such change, but he couldn't do it, and even thought that if Ye Qingxiao couldn't fall in love with him, it would be okay to be with him for the rest of his life.Maybe he was really crazy.

These days, he has been receiving memorials from Wen Qiaolei to impeach Ye Chenxi, but Ye Chenxi brought thousands of guards back to Beijing, but he didn't know that something must happen at the border, maybe Wen Qiaolei is A dark chess game by Ye Qingxiao.

Chu Aohan stood with the backlight, the plain clothes on his body were rattled by the strong wind, his eyes were like lightning, and the cold air was oppressive. After turning his thoughts for a few times, he hurriedly wrote a letter and called out in a cold voice: " Stone Weishang."

Shi Weishang, the servant of the Ministry of War, quickly knelt down in front of him, and said in a trembling voice, "The minister is here."

"Ye Chen rebelled after he fell in the evening. The situation at Qinghe Pass is not good. Go to Qinghe Pass immediately to find out the situation. If the situation at Qinghe Pass is critical, you can gather troops from the border towns along the way to fight against the enemy. I will allow you to adapt to local conditions." After a while, he continued: "There is Dongyue's army outside Qinghe Pass. If Ye Qingxiao wants to go back to Dongyue, he must go to Qinghe Pass. You should guard Qinghe Pass carefully, and never let Ye Qingxiao have a chance to leave the pass. Do your best. can capture him alive."

"I obey the order!" Shi Weishang took the letter respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "If Ye Qingxiao resists to the end and cannot be captured alive, should I kill him?"

Hearing this, Chu Aohan's whole body trembled, as if a bone was stuck in his throat, and he was unable to answer for a long time.After a while, he sighed and said, "If you can't capture him alive, then... kill him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shi Weishang stood up respectfully, when a gust of wind hit, Chu Aohan's plain white gauze fluttered like flying feathers in the wind, and it was so dazzling under the sunlight.

However, at that moment, Shi Weishang vaguely felt the indescribable loneliness in the young emperor's heart.Maybe, standing at that height, it is doomed that you can't really have someone who can stand side by side with you in your life, right?

25. Love

When Chu Aohan returned to the palace, the sun was already fading, and the sunset had dyed half of the sky red, rendering the messy battlefield extremely tragic. He stepped over the corpses and swords on the ground and walked towards the Holy Scale Hall step by step, from the imperial garden to the holy palace. There is almost no clean ground on the long road of Scale Hall, the setting sun is like blood, the sky and the earth are the same color, the bloody smell wafts for several miles, and even the grass and trees are also stinky.

Chu Aohan's face was like a thousand-year-old stone, and every step he took made the followers behind him startled.After finally reaching the Hall of Scales, everyone was already in a cold sweat.

Chu Aohan stood quietly in front of the blood-stained stone steps, looking at the bare ground, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart.The soldiers were waiting for orders, he did not give orders, no one dared to clean the battlefield, but this wise emperor seemed to have forgotten about it, he just watched every place he could see with a pair of cold eyes, until the lights came on, he did not He ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield with a voice that suppressed his emotions.

The soldiers whimpered softly while cleaning the battlefield. If Chu Aohan hadn't been standing quietly in front of the hall and watching the battlefield, they might have already burst into tears.

Broken swords, armor, severed limbs, and rags can be seen everywhere, and the lights are broken, reflecting the young emperor with extraordinary martial arts in front of the hall.All night, he stood in front of the temple, silently staring at the corpses, listening to the soldiers crying like ghosts, as if he wanted to remember this painful moment forever, this is the greatest opponent in his life imprint on him.

A few days later, dozens of fleeing soldiers rushed back from the front line of Qinghe Pass, and brought a shocking news to the Rising Sun Court: Wen Qiaolei defected to the enemy, and a group of soldiers brought to the front line by Ye Chenxi and Wen Qiaolei The Wanjing Army has been completely wiped out by Ye Chenxi and the East Vietnam Army.

Later, the East Vietnamese Army seized several border cities with lightning speed, took control of Qinghe Pass, and spared no effort to block the news, cut off the road back to Beijing, and prevent the fleeing soldiers from reporting back to Beijing.These dozens of soldiers all came back from the Rising Sun Kingdom, and when the news reached Chu Aohan's ears, Ye Chenxi and Ye Qingxiao had already disappeared.

When Chu Aohan heard the news, he was so angry that he suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the dragon case, unexpectedly cutting off a corner of the dragon case.

Today, as long as he thinks back on the matter carefully, he will find that all of this is a round from beginning to end—the round that started on the day Mo Yichen failed to rescue Ye Qingxiao. The minister impeached the former emperor's old party, Wen Qiaolei and Ye Chenxi were all part of the game, but because everything was developing in his favor, he lost his guard and thought that everything was under control , who knew that he was turned against the general.In the end, all games were lost.

Before the anger dissipated, Ye Youran's envoy arrived. Chu Aohan held back his anger and summoned the envoy in Xizhao Hall. The envoy conveyed Ye Youran's meaning: He will wait for Ye Qingxiao at Qinghe Pass, and if he sees you in a month, If you don't reach Ye Qingxiao, you will slaughter ten cities in the border gates to be buried with Ye Qingxiao.

Ye Youran's attitude is tough, if Chu Aohan prevents Ye Qingxiao from returning home, Ye Youran will definitely not let it go.Although Chu Aohan hated him extremely, Qinghe Pass was lost, and the frontier was not safe to defend.If Chu Aohan insisted on pursuing Ye Qingxiao regardless of the life and death of the common people, he would definitely be infamous forever.

Moreover, being so provoked by Ye Qingxiao, the court was in turmoil, and everyone in the former emperor's old party was in danger, and it was very easy to change.The current Kingdom of Rising Sun is definitely not suitable for facing foreign enemies.He must settle inside first, and then fight outside.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Aohan decided to give in and ordered a complete stop of the search, allowing Ye Qingxiao and his party to leave the customs safely.

When the envoy left, he sat quietly in the imperial garden alone, holding a jug of wine, and drank it with his head raised. The spicy wine slipped down his throat along his teeth, as if to burn his soul, and the bitter taste slowly permeated. After entering the internal organs, he was drunk and laughed a lot, and then fell asleep on the stone table.After waking up from the wine, he returned to the calm Chu Aohan before, he threw away the wine pot on the table, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Ye Qingxiao, I will never let you return in high spirits. Dongyue. If I can't win this game, then I can only lose."

After leaving the capital, Ye Qingxiao and his team changed their clothes and galloped towards Qinghe Pass non-stop. They were bloodied and killed all night. Everyone's faces could no longer hide their exhaustion, but they dared not stop Take a break, and don't dare to stay in crowded towns, just take remote paths.

When they arrived at a secluded mountain stream, the moon was over, and the group of people galloped all day, and several wounded were already crumbling.

For fear of being discovered, they did not dare to take the risk of lighting a fire to keep warm. After hastily eating dry food, they rested separately.

Ye Qingxiao found a leeward rock and sat down. After a day and a night of nervousness and hard work, he was already exhausted, and soon fell asleep.When he woke up, it was not yet dawn, except for the soldiers in charge of guarding, everyone else was sleeping. The night in the mountain stream was as silent as death, only the sound of gurgling water lingered in his ears.

Ye Qingxiao looked around under the moonlight, but he couldn't see Ye Chenxi and Su Moyun. He was slightly surprised, remembering that he had accidentally seen Ye Chenxi and Su Moyun making out in the past, his heart was sour, and he felt drowsy. remove.

Slowly stood up, moved the stiff limbs, walked along the stream, looking for a remote place to freshen up.At this time, the night was full of dew, and after walking for a while, Ye Qingxiao's hair was covered with frost.

There was a faint whisper in the wind, Ye Qingxiao was startled, knowing that Ye Chenxi and Su Moyun were nearby, she stopped immediately, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to turn around and leave.After walking a few steps, he accidentally kicked a rock, which rolled into the stream with a crisp sound.

"Who is it?" Ye Chenxi's alert voice sounded almost at the moment when the rock fell into the water, and then two figures rushed out from behind a huge rock not far away.When they saw Ye Qingxiao, they were startled at the same time.

Ye Qingxiao turned around and set her gaze on Ye Chenxi, only to see that his clothes were messy and his chest was exposed, anyone with a discerning eye could guess what they were doing just now.Ye Qingxiao suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and said quickly: "Sorry, I didn't know you were here."

After saying that, he was about to leave. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly felt a strong wind rushing towards his face. The wind was accompanied by a vague smell of blood. Chen Xi grabbed hold of it, and raised her head to meet Ye Chenxi's gaze. Although the anxiety in Ye Chenxi's eyes flashed away, it couldn't escape Ye Qingxiao's eyes.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Chenxi tightly grasped Ye Qingxiao's hand, but stopped talking.

At this time, the smell of blood suddenly rose, Ye Qingxiao's heart tightened, and he immediately asked: "Are you injured?" Before Ye Chenxi could answer, he broke away from Ye Chenxi's hand, took off his shirt, and carefully examined his body. On the upper body, the shoulders were covered with messy gauze, which apparently stopped halfway through the dressing.Ye Qingxiao frowned, and was about to lift the gauze to take a closer look at the wound, but was stopped by Ye Chenxi: "Don't look."

Ye Qingxiao said in a deep voice: "It's just a wound, what can't be seen?"

Hearing this, Ye Chenxi sighed softly, and finally let go of Ye Qingxiao's hand.Ye Qingxiao slowly lifted the gauze, and what was seen in front of her eyes was a bloody wound, the turned out flesh was oozing blood, it looked very hideous.

Ye Qingxiao's hand that grabbed the gauze trembled, her heart ached: "When did you get this injury?"

Su Moyun came to them and replied: "Your Highness was hit by an arrow when he besieged King Heng's Mansion, but he has been working hard since then, and he didn't have a good rest. He went to Qinghe Pass before he recovered from his injuries, and he was wounded more and more when he surrounded and wiped out the Rising Sun Army. The wound has burst open several times so far."

Ye Qingxiao was heartbroken upon hearing the words, and sternly said to Ye Chenxi: "If I didn't find out, how long are you going to hide it?"

Ye Chenxi glanced at Ye Qingxiao, and said comfortingly: "Don't listen to Mo Yun's nonsense, this is just a minor injury, it's not a problem." After speaking, she gave Su Moyun a hard look.

Su Moyun pretended not to notice, put down the wound medicine in his hand, saluted respectfully, and left sadly.

Ye Qingxiao quickly pulled Ye Chenxi aside and sat down, and bandaged his wound again. He was very careful in his movements, for fear of accidentally hurting Ye Chenxi. When the cold fingertips touched Ye Chenxi's skin, , Ye Chenxi couldn't help breathing quickly, and the heavy panting hit Ye Qingxiao's face, burning his skin like a fire, he didn't dare to look up at Ye Chenxi's eyes full of lust eye.

Ye Chenxi kept staring at Ye Qingxiao's face, as if she couldn't get enough of it.Ever since we parted that night, Ye Qingxiao's face has been lingering in his dreams, but every time he stretches out his hand to grab the person in his dream, that person disappears without a trace, and when he wakes up every day, only cold sweat is left of myself.Who can experience this kind of sadness?

After the dressing was finished, Ye Qingxiao tidied up Ye Chenxi's clothes. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help asking: "Chen Xi, since you have the heart to manage the world, when I'm trapped in Thailand, it's the best time for you to seize the throne." Timing, but why did you choose to save me?"

Ye Chenxi avoided Ye Qingxiao's gaze, and her voice guided Chang Qingxi in the silent night: "Because of the current situation in Dongyue, there must be no civil strife."

When Ye Qingxiao heard this, a smile appeared on her lips, but that smile was a little lonely under the hazy moonlight: "I should have guessed that you are always the King Kang of Dongyue, and everything will be done in the east." The more important it is, you can abandon your own ambitions, you can abandon Ye Qingxiao, but you can't ignore Dongyue."

Ye Chenxi's whole body shook, and she turned her face to look at Ye Qingxiao. Ye Qingxiao looked back at him without flinching, and said, "I've heard Yichen say that you talked about conditions with Yichen. Although At that time, I didn't promise personally, but since Yichen has already promised on my behalf, I will never go back on my word. I will not blame you and your party members for everything in the past, and I can even promise that if you are willing to return to the court with me, I will never do anything to hide everything."

Ye Chenxi shook her head: "I said before, I don't want to be an idle prince. And with someone like me in the court, don't you feel like a thorn in your back?"

Ye Qingxiao's heart tightened, although she had already guessed Ye Chenxi's decision, but hearing it with her own ears, she still couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

With Ye Chenxi's character, once he decides to give up fighting for the throne, he will never appear in front of him again.

If a person like Ye Chenxi folded his wings and used it as a display in the court, living his life in fear, that would definitely not be what he wanted.Ye Chenxi should live her life wantonly, show off when she laughs, have fun when she is drunk, lie drunk in the mountains, or ride horses in the wilderness, chic and unrestrained.

The grievances between them are too deep and complicated, it is lucky to end in this way, he shouldn't expect too much.

Thinking up to this point, I couldn't even say a word to stay.He was silent for a moment, until the loneliness in his eyes gradually subsided, and then asked: "When are you leaving?"

"After sending you back to the palace, I'll leave." Although Ye Chenxi pretended to be relaxed, he felt an indescribable loss in his heart.

"Really?" Ye Qingxiao's voice was extremely low. If you didn't listen carefully, it would be difficult to know what he said, but Ye Chenxi always paid attention to him, and of course listened to those two words, and the voice permeated The deep loneliness that came out made his heart ache even more.

Ye Qingxiao cast her eyes on the gurgling brook, and didn't ask where Ye Chenxi was going, nor did she ask if there would be another date to meet her again.The moonlight was like snow, illuminating his eyes dimly, and the melancholy inside was faintly visible.

Ye Chenxi will never forget Ye Qingxiao's expression at this moment for the rest of his life, because Ye Qingxiao had such an expression on the rainy day when he first saw Ye Qingxiao. The softest part of his heart.

"It's getting late, you haven't slept all night, go get some rest!" After speaking, Ye Qingxiao was about to stand up, but Ye Chenxi grabbed his wrist, and he was pulled into Ye Chenxi's arms by that force. The next moment, The domineering lips were pressed down, and the heavy panting sound kept lingering in the ears. Once the suppressed emotions broke out, they could no longer be controlled. Ye Qingxiao was only stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes, letting the The wild tongue rushed into his jaw, robbing him of his breath.He knew that he should push Ye Chenxi away, he knew that there was an unclarified misunderstanding and an unbridgeable gap between them, and he knew that they had no future...

This kind of deep despair engulfed their rationality, making them like drowning people longing to grab the driftwood in front of them. Even if there was only a moment of embrace, even if the sky thundered, they still didn't want to let go of each other.

After the lingering, they panted violently, and their eyes met naturally. In addition to the unfaded passion, there were many unspeakable emotions in the eyes of the two.

Ye Chenxi wiped off the white liquid on Ye Qingxiao's body with a brocade handkerchief, washed the brocade handkerchief in the stream, and wiped it again for Ye Qingxiao. His movements were very gentle, and his gestures were full of pity.

Ye Qingxiao closed his eyes and let him take care of it. He didn't stand up slowly until Ye Chenxi put on his clothes for him. Although his movements were as careful as possible, he still affected the wound on the back. The tearing pain made him His face paled instantly.

Ye Chenxi was arranging his clothes at first, seeing his face showing pain, she asked nervously: "Is it uncomfortable?" After saying that, she immediately reached out to support Ye Qingxiao.

Ye Qingxiao held Ye Chenxi's hand instead, and said in a low voice: "It hurts a bit, but it's not a serious problem."

Ye Chenxi looked at Ye Qingxiao, and said angrily: "How can you ride a horse like this? Why don't we stay here for a day!"

Ye Qingxiao shook her head when she heard the words: "Although this place is hidden, since we can find it, the Rising Sun Army will definitely be able to find it too. If it takes too long, we might change things. Let's go to Qinghe Pass as soon as possible!"

Ye Chenxi chuckled when she heard the words, with a familiar arrogance on her brows: "Don't worry, if I'm not sure about saving you back to the capital, how can I show up? The area around Qinghe Pass is already under the control of our army. If Chu Aohan If you dare to prevent us from returning to the capital, our army will turn the Qingheguan area into a thousand miles of red land. Chu Ao
