Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

What happened in [-] was not what I wanted, if I hadn't fallen ill, I would definitely..."

"Your Majesty always gets sick at the most critical time." Li Juqi's voice was ironic, but what he said was the truth. Ye Qingxiao had pretended to be sick several times in order to turn the situation around. No one would believe it anymore, and now that she was in a situation where she couldn't explain it, Ye Qingxiao could only sigh and let it be her own fault.

"Whether you believe it or not, I really wanted to save you back then. It's just that I became ill so suddenly that I couldn't recover." Ye Qingxiao opened her eyes and looked straight at Li Juqi openly, but she responded with a disdainful voice. Leng snort.

"What the truth is, only God knows and His Majesty knows." After finishing speaking, Li Juqi's brows stretched out, and his tone was filled with joy that could not be concealed: "The life of my minister is like duckweed, depressed and unhappy, only at this moment, A long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."

Ye Qingxiao's heart was overwhelmed, and there was a deep sense of despair, but on the surface he had replied calmly and solemnly: "If you want revenge, just kill me, don't hurt the people of Dongyue."

Li Juqi let out a long laugh when he heard the words, and said frankly: "Even if I am willing to kill you, Chu Aohan is not. He is coming, as long as you are handed over to him, the favor I owe him will be repaid. The future situation How, it is beyond the control of the minister."

Ye Qingxiao couldn't help but tremble when she thought that she would fall into that person's hands, and when she thought that Beijing Pass was as dangerous as Xia Bing, her heart felt ashamed.

At this moment, a strong wind rolled up the cowhide at the entrance of the tent, and along with the strong wind came a burst of dazzling light and fierce murderous aura, which pressed directly on Li Juqi's chest.

Li Juqi's expression changed suddenly, and he had to let go of Ye Qingxiao. Just as he was about to draw his sword to meet the enemy, a cloud of white mist came towards him. Although he immediately held his breath, he still inhaled a little medicine powder, his body softened, and he almost fell down , had no choice but to take a few steps back and use the wooden case to stabilize his body.

At this time, the situation was critical, Qin Shinan couldn't care about the difference between the monarch and his subjects, and immediately grabbed Ye Qingxiao's wrist and rushed out.

Ye Qingxiao followed Qin Shinan and ran wildly, panting and asking: "Where are the others?"

Qin Shinan suppressed his grief, and said in a calm voice: "The imperial army has been controlled, and the rest of the dragon guards have been killed. Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if you are heartbroken, you will still lead your Majesty to fight out."

Although Ye Qingxiao was mentally prepared, he still felt terrified when he heard the words. He heard the wind whispering in his ears. He stared at the road ahead, and felt confused for a moment, but was immediately covered by a firm expression.

After running for a short time, he saw a horse tied under a tree not far away. Qin Shinan pulled off the buckle, got on the horse swiftly, pulled Ye Qingxiao into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, offend me!" gone."

After finishing speaking, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, like a goshawk swooping down on a cliff, and flew down the mountain.

The author has something to say: Has anyone guessed that Li Juqi is a traitor?In fact, I am very reluctant. Such a good person is actually a traitor...

☆, (33) A dream of Huang Liang

The mountains were full of greenery, the grass was deep and the forest was luxuriant, but the two on horseback had no intention of admiring them. They galloped through the mountains and forests. Qin Shinan held the reins tightly with his hands, his body was murderous, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

There was a small army of ten or so people rushing to intercept them. Qin Shinan drew out his long sword without hesitation, and Ye Qingxiao also drew out his sword at the same time. His sharp blade was stained with blood, and the murderous aura flourished between heaven and earth.

Qin Shinan kicked the horse's belly, and the horse swooped over. The moment they rushed into the enemy's formation, they waved their weapons at the same time, threatening to kill them. However, the enemy army was ordered to capture Ye Qingxiao alive, and they were quickly killed.

Qin Shinan wiped off the blood on the blade, put it back into the sheath, and galloped forward again. He carefully looked around and listened to all directions, for fear that he would fall into the enemy's trap if he was careless.

Ye Qingxiao, who was silent for a long time, finally asked: "Where are you going to take me?"

Qin Shinan replied without hesitation: "I took your Majesty to Moyang to find His Royal Highness Kang Wang. If His Highness Kang Wang knew that His Majesty was in danger, he would definitely not sit idly by."

Ye Qingxiao fell silent again when she heard the words, and only let the crisp sound of horseshoes cover up the suffocating silence.

They had only walked halfway through the mountain road, and they had already met several groups of soldiers who were pursuing them. Fortunately, they were not many in number, and they all killed them. Once they encountered a tripping rope, their mounts fell down. Although Qin Shinan tried his best to protect Ye Qingxiao, But still, Ye Qingxiao's right foot accidentally bumped into the boulder beside her, hurting her muscles and bones.

After killing all the ambushing enemy troops, Qin Shinan was wounded in many places, and there were two deep bones.Qin Shinan didn't care about bandaging, and carefully helped Ye Qingxiao walk into a remote path, walking along the dangerous road with strange rocks.

The further they went down the mountain, the more people were hunted down. In order to escape the soldiers who were hunted down, they were in a panic. They had no water or food on them, so they could only occasionally pick some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, but they couldn't eat enough.Although the wound on his body has been treated with medicine, he has not been given enough rest, and the wound has gradually deteriorated.

In the middle of the night, Qin Shinan and Ye Qingxiao hid in a dense grass to rest. Tonight, the dew was heavy and the mountain wind was fierce. They did not dare to light a fire to keep warm. The cold dew soaked their muscles. Ye Qingxiao only felt cold all over his body, staring at the The night sky is full of despair.

"Shinan, there is something I want to tell you to do." His voice was hoarse from overwork, but his tone was very firm.

Hearing Ye Qingxiao's voice at this moment, Qin Shinan's heart trembled for some reason, but he still respectfully said: "Your Majesty, please order, I will never refuse to die."

"I know you belong to King Kang." Ye Qingxiao didn't look at Qin Shinan, and there was no anger and bitterness of being betrayed in his tone. Instead, Qin Shinan stared at Ye Qingxiao with wide-eyed eyes, hesitant to speak for several times, but Can't refute.

Ye Qingxiao's eyelids were half drooped, and her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of startling Han Ye: "Since you are Kang Wang's person, this will be easy. Only if you go, he will believe it."

"Your Majesty, although I am a member of His Royal Highness Kang Wang, His Royal Highness Kang only gave one order, which is to protect you to the death..."

"There's no need to say any more." Ye Qingxiao interrupted his defense, and said in a harsh voice: "It doesn't matter what Kang Wang wants now."

Qin Shinan was at a loss for words, clenched his fists and waited for the next sentence.

"That day I begged King Kang to send troops, but King Kang was indifferent. I know that King Kang was afraid that I would consume his troops and settle accounts later in the fall. He also wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the king's army so that he would not be attacked by me in the future. But now Dongyue is besieged on all sides, and its military strength cannot be exhausted..."

Ye Qingxiao's voice was full of indescribable exhaustion and despair, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he said four words: "I admit defeat..."

Qin Shinan's heart skipped a beat, and he called urgently, "Your Majesty!"

Ye Qingxiao closed her eyes and said: "I have the capacity to tolerate people, but I don't have the knowledge to understand them, and finally caused a catastrophe. Now Beijing Pass is under Li Juqi's control, he is Chu Aohan's spy , as long as Chu Aohan's army arrives, they can go straight to the capital for thousands of miles."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxiao sighed softly, no matter how stubborn she is, she must admit her failure at this moment.His thin lips trembled slightly, he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or the panic and despair: "Now only when King Kang returns to Beijing can he defend Chaoyang City."

Qin Shinan persuaded with a trembling voice: "As long as His Majesty returns to the capital, he can hold on..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes were already foggy.

Ye Qingxiao shook her head when she heard the words: "If you take me with you, you won't be able to get out of this mountain. I have let Dongyue fall into such a situation, and I don't want to drag Dongyue down at the last moment and become a sinner through the ages."

"Your Majesty..." Qin Shinan called out, but he didn't know what to say, because he knew that Ye Qingxiao's decision was the best for Dongyue.Li Juqi has rebelled, but only the two of them know that one of them must report back, otherwise the country will be destroyed.

All of them were silent, and a little light fell on the grass where they were hiding. Ye Qingxiao stretched out her hand, letting the light dance in his palm, and continued: "Chu Aohan has something wrong with me, so only I can do it." Hold back his army, but I can only delay it for a few days. You must immediately go to Moyang to find King Kang, and persuade King Kang to return to Chaoyang City to inherit the great rule. I have made a will before the personal conquest, and a copy is in the hands of the national teacher. The other one is in the hands of King Heng, as long as he is willing to return to the capital to take the throne, the national teacher and King Heng will never make things difficult for him."

Hearing this, Qin Shinan was shocked. He didn't expect that Ye Qingxiao had already made up his mind to die before leaving Beijing, leaving Dongyue with a way out, but the successor he chose was not Ye Youran, who had a close relationship with him, It was Ye Chenxi who broke with him completely.

At this time, the moonlight illuminated Ye Qingxiao's jade-like face, and in an instant, the despair on his face disappeared without a trace, and he regained his former dignity. He stood up and said, "Qin Shinan, pass on my words!"

Seeing this, Qin Shinan immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "The minister is here."

"Ye Chen, the king of Kang, passed through the heavens and latitudes at night. He was far-sighted and far-sighted. He should be the king of Yao and Shun. He worshiped his ancestors and taught his brothers and brothers, and returned to Chaoyang City to be the emperor. Taking the people as the foundation of the country, being close to the virtuous and accepting rules, expelling foreign enemies, and protecting the country and the people. .”

Qin Shinan's face paled as paper after listening to the oral order, and it took a long time before he took a deep breath and replied, "Your Majesty's order."

After Qin Shinan was flattened, Ye Qingxiao took the jade flute from his waist and handed it to Qin Shinan: "If King Kang refuses to believe it, you can give this jade flute to him. Tell him that the people are the foundation of a country, and the foundation of a country is solid." Ning, remember to treat the people of Dongyue kindly."

Qin Shinan took the jade flute respectfully, only feeling that the jade flute in his hand weighed a thousand catties, and he could hardly bear the weight, so he quickly wrapped it in a brocade handkerchief and put it away carefully.

Another gust of mountain wind came, although Ye Qingxiao's sleeves were cold, she still stood upright and said: "This matter should not be delayed any longer, you should go!"

Qin Shinan only felt a bitterness in his throat, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are your majesty's plans for the future?"

Ye Qingxiao heard the words, looked at the round of jade plate in the night sky, and said in an ethereal voice: "I will never have a future..."

Qin Shinan held back his grief, fell to the ground and kowtowed three times to Ye Qingxiao, choking with sobs, "Take care, Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, he didn't even dare to look back at the lonely king, he just let the tears run down his cheeks.

Ye Qingxiao watched Qin Shinan's back disappear into the boundless world, then slowly turned around and walked back and forth.Enduring the severe pain on his right foot, he moved slowly, looking for the place in his memory.After walking for less than half an hour, I finally found a small cave on the back of the rock near the cliff, which can only accommodate two people. The entrance of the cave has been covered by dense weeds, so it is difficult for anyone to find it.If Ye Qingxiao hadn't been looking for herbs there during the day, she wouldn't have found this hiding place.

With the few remaining wild fruits, he slowly pushed through the grass and got into the hole.The body has long been exhausted, and now the mind is gone, and soon fell into a dream.

It was already dawn when he woke up, and the sound of bells sounded from somewhere, suddenly far and near, adding a bit of life to this silent mountain.He sat quietly in the cave, listening to the ringing of the bell one after another, his heart was overwhelmed, and he could not calm down.

The old past reappeared in my mind like a revolving lantern, over and over again.In his life, although his ideals were lofty, he had no earth-shattering achievements. He always felt that he was still young, and he still had a lot of time to create the ideal peaceful and prosperous world, so he took every step of the way, hoping that one day the country would be prosperous and the people would be safe, but his fate was unfortunate. What awaits him is bloody rain on the battlefield, people have different expectations, and in the end he loses everything.

In the annals of history in the future, it is just a sad story with a few strokes.

At noon, soldiers came to search. He hid in the cave and waited with bated breath. His intertwined fingers were wrung as pale as paper, his lower lip was bitten and bleeding, and his heart was beating violently in his chest. It seems that it will burst out at any time.

The soldiers turned over the grass a few times with their spears, and then walked away cursing.After the voices of the people faded away, he broke out in a cold sweat, and it was very uncomfortable to stick the wet clothes to his body. Although it was already April, the mountain was still lingering cold. Feel like a dead tree.

☆, (34) Rescue

These days, Ye Chenxi has been paying attention to the situation in northern Xinjiang. Not long ago, he received a report from spies that Ye Qingxiao had an encounter with the enemy army when he was out on patrol, and he was not injured, but Ye Chenxi stayed up all night.

I thought that as long as that person stayed in Beijing Pass, he would be safe, but I forgot that this person was born with iron courage, and was eager to convince the crowd, so he would never hide in the pass to plan strategies.

A few days ago, there was news that Ye Qingxiao was attacked by the enemy army when she was out on patrol, she hurriedly retreated into Hanyang City, and had a bloody battle with the enemy army, and the man stood awe-inspiringly at the top of the city and played the flute to boost morale, if not for Li Juqi's timely rescue , I'm afraid the city will be destroyed.

Ye Chenxi was pacing back and forth in the gazebo, but he couldn't suppress his agitation. He even wondered if that person deliberately used his own safety to force him to compromise.

As long as he thought of the scene of the man playing the flute on the battle front, he would be filled with anger and panic, and finally couldn't suppress it, and slammed the teacup on the table, making a clang and crisp sound.

Su Shiqing, who was guarding outside the pavilion, trembled subconsciously when he heard the sound, but quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened, and still stood upright.

After a while, Ye Chenxi suddenly shouted: "Shiqing!"

Su Shiqing immediately stepped forward respectfully: "The minister is here."

Ye Chenxi flicked his sleeves irritably, and frowned: "Is there no news from Beijiang? It's been several days."

Su Shiqing replied: "Your Highness, there is no news yet."

Although Ye Chenxi didn't say anything, she seemed more and more irritable, her brows frowned, and she started pacing back and forth again.Su Shiqing didn't back down, and it didn't matter if he didn't back down, so he had to bite the bullet and stand where he was.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps sounded that the awkward atmosphere was broken.

A guard stopped in front of the gazebo and reported: "Your Highness, there is a man outside the door who claims to be His Majesty's Dragon Guard Qin Shinan. He said he has something urgent to see His Highness."

Ye Chenxi's heart trembled, and she looked at Su Shiqing anxiously and suspiciously, and said, "How could he leave the side of the emperor? Didn't this king give an order that no matter what, the safety of the emperor must be put first?"

Su Shiqing immediately said: "Qin Shinan is here at this time, I'm afraid there is something urgent."

Ye Chenxi's heart tightened, and she immediately ordered: "Let him in quickly."

After the guard took the order to leave, Su Shiqing immediately ordered someone to clean up the fragments of the teacup on the ground, and exchanged a pot of hot tea for Ye Chenxi before stepping aside.

Qin Shinan soon came to the gazebo, he staggered, looked haggard, and looked very embarrassed, before he saluted, Ye Chenxi walked up to him quickly and scolded: "Didn't this king tell you, no matter what? Must the emperor's safety be the most important thing? He is in northern Xinjiang and is in danger at any time, how can you leave him?"

Qin Shinan was injured in many places, and he traveled long distances without sleep for two consecutive days. His body could not take it anymore, and he only relied on his willpower to support him. Now seeing Ye Chenxi, he was so excited that his body could hardly bear it. With a mission, he refused to fall no matter what, and said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness, I have come to announce the decree."

Seeing Qin Shinan's appearance, Ye Chenxi already felt ominous in his heart, but when he heard this, he still endured his doubts and waited for the next article.

Qin Shinan cleared his throat, and shouted dignifiedly: "Shangyu!"

Ye Chenxi just raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and did not kneel down, exuding a rebellious aura all over her body.

Qin Shinan didn't have the energy to care about these details at this time, so he just read aloud: "King Kang Ye Chen passed through the heavens and the earth at night, and has far-sighted insights. He should be the king of Yao and Shun. I will honor my ancestors and brothers, and I will return to Chaoyang City to be the emperor. The people are the foundation of the state, be close to the virtuous and accept the rules, expel foreign enemies, and protect the country and the people."

Although Qin Shinan's voice didn't change, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks halfway through the reading, and his eyes were full of sadness.

When Ye Chenxi heard the phrase "Brother ends up with brother", he felt his mind went blank, and the fear that was severely suppressed in his heart rushed to his heart like a tide, and he asked anxiously: "What happened?" ? Where is the emperor?"

With tears streaming down his face, Qin Shinan choked up and said, "Li Juqi has rebelled. He belongs to Chu Aohan. Now Beijing Pass is in Li Juqi's hands. His Majesty was besieged in Lingshan by Li Juqi. He was worried that Chu Aohan would take the opportunity to attack the capital, so he ordered Your Highness returns to the capital to inherit the great rule and guard the capital."

After hearing this, Ye Chenxi lost her wits and subconsciously grabbed Qin Shinan by the collar, shouting: "He is besieged in Lingshan, if you don't protect him, you dare to escape back to see me, don't you forget that I was the king? Did the king tell you anything? In any case, the safety of the emperor must be the most important thing!"

"Your Majesty has the will to die, and there is nothing I can do." After saying that, Qin Shinan fell on the ground and cried, tears soon soaked his clothes.

Ye Chenxi's eyes were already red with anxiety, and she was a little dazed, muttering to herself: "No...no...he can't die...I don't want Jiangshan...I just want him to be safe...I Don't force him anymore...don't force him..."

That day, he was full of hatred and broke through the barrier, and even secretly vowed not to see him again.When I received his letter of appeal for help, I also felt happy, wishing to let him suffer a crushing defeat, so as to comfort my heart that had nowhere to vent.It wasn't until now that he was facing death that he realized that the hatred he had been insisting on was no longer important. As long as that person was alive, he could give up anything.

But now that life is uncertain, but he is far away...

Ye Chenxi was so heartbroken, she felt her eyes were dark, she wanted to breathe but was unable to breathe, and her face gradually turned blue due to suffocation.

Seeing this, Su Shiqing, who was guarding outside the gazebo, rushed into the pavilion, poured a cup of tea for Ye Chenxi from the table, and shouted anxiously: "Your Highness, it is important to save people."

The warm tea fell down his throat and into his stomach, which gradually relieved Ye Chenxi, and he ordered Su Shiqing anxiously: "Go and call Shen Man over here, and gather another five thousand light cavalry, this king will go first. "

"Yes, Your Highness." It was about Ye Qingxiao's safety, Su Shiqing didn't dare to neglect, and ran away after receiving the order.

Ye Chenxi pressed the center of his eyebrows, forced himself to calm down, ordered someone to fetch ginseng soup, poured a bowl for Qin Shinan himself, and said, "Tell me about the situation at that time."

Qin Shinan immediately wiped away his tears, took the porcelain bowl in Ye Chenxi's hand, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then recovered a little strength.

Ye Chenxi helped Qin Shinan to sit down, and moved a few plates of snacks in front of him.

Qin Shinan has been on the road day and night for the past two days, ran away and killed a horse, barely ate anything, now that his stomach is empty, he can't care about etiquette, and started to gobble it up.When his stomach was half full, he described the recent events to Ye Chenxi in detail.

Ye Chenxi listened intently, but his right hand was clenched into a fist all the time. When he heard Ye Qingxiao's words "I have no future", his heart seemed to be crushed, and his teeth were too tight. Bite out the blood hard, and the salty taste filled his mouth, but it couldn't make his inner self-blame and pain a little less.

He couldn't imagine what Ye Qingxiao was feeling when he said these words. He sent him letters one after another with hope, but he stubbornly refused to respond and let that person go north in despair. border battlefield.Now, he finally pushed that person to a dead end...

Guilt, heartache, self-blame and panic, all kinds of emotions surged in Ye Chenxi's chest. The man said that he had surrendered, but he felt that winning was worse than death.He never thought of forcing that person into such a situation, because he knew that it must be the worst lose-lose situation.

When Qin Shinan finished speaking, Shen Man just happened to come. Ye Chenxi immediately ordered someone to take Qin Shinan down to rest, and then said to Shen Man: "Something happened in the northern border, and now the emperor is besieged in Lingshan, and his life and death are uncertain. Qingqi will rescue you first. You go and gather all the troops, march northward, and meet up with the king at Lingshan."

Shen Man didn't ask any further questions, and respectfully took the soldier talisman in Ye Chenxi's hand, and was about to leave when she heard Ye Chenxi's cold voice: "Chu Aohan may already be in Dongyue, you send a team If someone intercepts him, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must be found, and he must not be allowed to reach Lingshan."

Shen Man was able to keep his face unchanged when he heard about the accident in Beijiang, but when he heard that Chu Aohan had sneaked into Dongyue, his expression changed suddenly, and he finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

Ye Chenxi continued: "Chu Aohan came round from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, so he must have chosen a remote path, but he has detoured more than half of Dongyue, so it is impossible that he will not meet people at all. Yucun Tucun, hurry up and find someone to find out which villages have been slaughtered for no reason recently, follow this clue to find him, and be sure to stop him. Otherwise...you know the consequences."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Shen Man bowed solemnly, and took the order to leave.

Ye Chenxi went back to the dormitory to put on his battle armor, and hurried to the school field without delay. At this time, the five thousand Qingqi had assembled, and everyone was in high spirits, waiting for Ye Chenxi's order.

Ye Chenxi's brows were full of murderous aura, and his body was overflowing with evil spirit, which made people dare not look directly at him.He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, his palm was already soaked, and his white joints looked very strange under the sun.He glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "Now the northern border is in emergency, and your majesty is trapped in Lingshan. You follow the king to the northern border to rescue him, and secure my east border to defend your majesty!"

The soldiers didn't question Ye Chenxi's decision when they heard the words, they just shouted loudly: "Strengthen our battlefield and defend Your Majesty!"

The sound shook the sky, echoing endlessly, all the soldiers shouted this noise, their blood was boiling, and they wished to rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately.

Ye Chenxi gave the order to set off, then got on the horse impatiently, and galloped north.All the soldiers followed closely behind, and all of a sudden, the dust was flying, the horses neighed, and they rushed towards the unknown battlefield in northern Xinjiang like arrows.

Ye Chenxi rode forward recklessly, the wind was as sharp as a knife, and his eyes full of anxiety were blown red, his whole body was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with evil spirit rising, unless that could be his scabbard The man who wants to return to him, otherwise his sharpness will burn the whole world.

He didn't dare to slow down for a moment, for fear that his slowness would cause a lifetime of regrets, and he kept calling Ye Qingxiao in his heart all the time, hoping that that person could hear his heart and persist until the last moment.

Brother Huang, I swear on my life that I will never let you down again in this life...you must wait for me...

The author has something to say:

☆, (35) National War

Ye Qingxiao hid in the narrow cave, and the outside of the cave was covered by dense weeds, so she hardly knew the time.

The matter behind him has been explained clearly, and he has nothing to worry about in his heart.Feeling the sunrise and sunset outside in the cave these days, thinking about the ups and downs of the past, the panic and despair in his heart gradually dissipated, and he was even able to calmly wait for the moment when his bones were buried in the green hills.

The water in the water bag was exhausted, and on the fourth day, he was so thirsty that his throat was about to smoke, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to go out of the cave to find a source of water.

A few days ago, he found a stream nearby. Enduring the pain of his foot injury, he stopped and walked along the way, and finally heard the sound of running water.He approached the stream, squatted down slowly, drank a few mouthfuls of stream water, filled the water bag, and washed his face happily.

When the stains on the face were washed away, a calm face was reflected on the stream, although it was a little haggard, it was as handsome as before.It's a pity that even if there is a peerless beauty, it will soon be turned into dust.

Just as he stood up slowly and was about to return to the cave, there was a sound of footsteps and a dog barking not far away.With a chill in his heart, he knew that his whereabouts had been revealed.Unexpectedly, Li Juqi was so desperate that he would find wolf dogs to search. Now even if he hides in the cave again, he can't escape Li Juqi's search. He has only two choices, either die or be captured without a fight, and become Chu Aohan's prison.

With his temperament, he would rather die than lose Dongyue's dignity, and even if he died, he could not leave a corpse for humiliation.He hastily dropped the water bag and ran towards the cliff regardless of his foot injury.

When the search team behind heard the movement, someone immediately shouted: "There is someone in front!" and then chased after him.

The cliff was not far away, Ye Qingxiao heard the footsteps behind her and the barking of wolf dogs, her heart was beating like a drum, she didn't dare to look back, she just ran forward desperately.The wind and cold on the mountain brushed against his cheeks like a sharp knife, almost making him unable to open his eyes.

When he reached the edge of the cliff, the scenery below the mountain came into view. Ye Qingxiao saw the rushing river and the city standing in the distance. Among the ten or so people, Li Juqi stood at the front of the crowd, wearing no armor but a blue robe, with a confident smile on his lips, he said, "Your Majesty has nowhere to escape, why bother? Chu Ao Han treats Your Majesty with deep affection, if you win His Majesty, you will naturally regard it as a treasure, and when the time comes, the two Majesties will love each other and spend the moonlight nights, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

Ye Qingxiao was unmoved, if he loved Chu Aohan, he could naturally compromise on this, but he only had Ye Chenxi in his heart, he and Ye Chenxi grew up together, Ye Chenxi loved and protected him, and even more so He once sacrificed his life to save each other, although what happened later broke his heart, but this love still has a depth that cannot be described in words.

He has an aloof personality and cannot give in emotionally. It is impossible for him to commit himself to Chu Aohan in order to survive. He is not even willing to leave his body to Chu Aohan.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Li Juqi persuaded: "Your Majesty, Chu Aohan will be here soon, if you have any requirements, you can tell him face to face."

Ye Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, her eyes glanced at Li Juqi indifferently, and she couldn't help but think of that young man's firm eyes and sonorous words when they first met that year.

"If Your Highness can save my father, I will be loyal to Your Highness from now on until after death. If I have a different intention, I will be responsible to Your Highness; but if Your Highness is perfunctory, I will be responsible to my Highness!"

Maybe it was already doomed in the dark, although he wanted to save him, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and finally he lost Li Juqi due to variables, causing the disaster of today.

He sighed softly, and said: "Li Juqi, back then I made a promise to you but failed to fulfill it, and I have always felt ashamed. Now that I have experienced this, there is no debt between you and me."

Li Juqi was secretly startled when he heard the words, he was also a person of great promise, he had promised to hand over Ye Qingxiao to Chu Aohan with his own hands, but now that Chu Aohan hadn't arrived, he naturally wouldn't allow any mistakes.But he couldn't see his thoughts from Ye Qingxiao's indifferent expression, so he could only reply: "Your Majesty broke his promise to my minister, and let the first exam be wronged and died, and my minister also broke his promise, forcing His Majesty to come here. Your majesty's grievances and grievances have been eliminated. No matter what happens to your majesty in the future, I will not ask any more questions."

Ye Qingxiao has always admired Li Juqi, but it's a pity that the matter has come to this point, and no matter how much he appreciates it, he can't use it.He pondered for a moment, then asked: "You once said that you are not in the world, and you will go back to the mountains and forests after this matter is over. Is this true?"

Li Juqi nodded, looked at Ye Qingxiao with a pair of eyes that were born with evil spirits, and replied: "This is the truth, as long as Chu Aohan's favor is repaid, I will be fine with all my worries, and I will be with Qingya Wild Deer for the rest of my life." .”

Ye Qingxiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, turned her eyes to look at this magnificent river and mountain, said with a light smile: "The river and mountain are picturesque, but it's a pity..." I can't see it anymore.

Li Juqi was slightly startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Ye Qingxiao again. He saw the man standing on the edge of the cliff, dressed in white, although there was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were extremely indifferent. As proud as ever, no praise or insult is allowed.

The sky was full of sunset, and the whole world was dyed bloody, which stained Ye Qingxiao's handsome face with a bit of vicissitudes, making people unable to bear to look directly at it.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, Ye Qingxiao and Li Juqi turned their eyes and saw a group of people galloping towards them, the leader was Chu Aohan.

Ye Qingxiao's expression remained unchanged, she quietly watched Chu Aohan dismount from his horse, and by looking at his smoky look, one could tell that he came all the way in a hurry, that knife-sharpened silhouette looked thinner than before , but it did not damage the domineering arrogance of the sky.

Chu Aohan handed the mount to the guards beside him, stepped forward a few steps, and stopped beside Li Juqi. The black cloak on his body was blown by the mountain wind, and his sturdy figure was faintly visible under the cloak. The aura he had trained gave people a sense of oppression that could not be ignored, but when he raised his eyes to look at Ye Qingxiao, his expression softened in an instant, as if he was transitioning from cold winter to warm spring all at once, but he did not let People feel awkward.

Li Juqi glanced at Ye Qingxiao, then turned his gaze to Chu Aohan, and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you, and I won't owe you anything from now on."

Hearing this, Chu Aohan asked without giving up: "You really don't consider working for me?"

Li Juqi shook his head, smiled lightly, and said: "The first half of my life was like floating dust, and I saw all the changes in human relationships. Now I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the first exam, and I just want to live a life of drinking alone in Taoyuan."

Chu Aohan had already expected his reply, so he was not surprised to hear his words at this time, but just reminded him: "Remember the promise you made to me."

Li Juqi raised his eyebrows and smiled heartily: "Don't worry, I will never be an enemy of the rising sun in this life. Farewell!" After finishing speaking, he made a bow, and before leaving, he took another look at Ye Qingxiao who was standing on the edge of the cliff, and walked towards Chu Aohan prepared the horse for him, got on the horse and kicked the horse's belly, only to hear the steed neigh, and fly away.

After Li Juqi left, Chu Aohan turned his gaze to Ye Qingxiao, when he saw the figure that was tottering under the sunlight, he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and said softly: "Ye Qingxiao, come here."

When Ye Qingxiao heard the words, she just glanced at him indifferently, without saying a word, and then turned her eyes to the land that he had spent his entire life protecting, with a calm expression.

Chu Aohan looked back at this face that he had been thinking about for a long time, and the sense of ominousness gradually spread in his heart. He deliberately lowered his tone, as if he was afraid of disturbing the person in front of him.

"Ye Qingxiao, come here first, I swear that I will never let you down in this life."

At this moment, an urgent cry pierced the sky, passing by the ears like a lone goose's long cry, with anxiety and fear that could not be concealed in the voice: "Brother Huang——"

Ye Qingxiao's whole body was shocked, her eyes fell on the cliff, and finally she found the figure she was thinking of by the riverside.In the tens of thousands of rays of light, he vaguely saw the man's face of despair.

There are many emotions in his heart, but now there is no turning back, and only death can end it all.

Another heart-piercing call came from the wind: "Brother Huang——"

Ye Qingxiao's heart ached, and she was about to take another look, but she felt a strange movement coming from behind her. At this moment, he was not allowed to think about it any longer, so he took a step forward, and jumped off the cliff with a determined expression.

Chu Aohan who was behind him originally wanted to take advantage of his distraction to imprison him, but unexpectedly he threw himself off the cliff. He was so anxious for a moment that he quickly reached out to fish, but he couldn't even touch the man's clothes. His face immediately paled, and his heart felt like a knife, and he shouted anxiously: "Ye Qingxiao——"

But the only answer to him was the hunting wind on the cliff.

The slanting sun was sinking, and the deep and shallow orange-yellow soft light mottled the entire river and mountain. The rushing river was like a deep scar lying under the cliff, roaring the sound of rolling water.

When Ye Chenxi came to the river with five thousand cavalry, and saw the man standing on the edge of the cliff in the direction Su Shiqing pointed, his heart trembled almost to pieces.

Since he set off from the school grounds, he has been on the road day and night, not daring to take a break, and the hand holding the rein of the horse trembled all the way. Although he has been bearing it all the time, his eyes are flushed with anxiety several times.He was originally a high-spirited person, but he was haggarded by regret and despair, like a frightened bird.

Now I finally saw this person who was thinking about it day and night, but it was separated by the distance between life and death, he was so frightened that his body was as tense as a bowstring.

He never thought that he and Ye Qingxiao would meet in this situation. If life was a chessboard, they had already entered into a game of life and death, but this game was facilitated by him.He looked at the man standing on the edge of the cliff, as graceful as a jade mountain about to fall.

Looking back suddenly, I have gone through many vicissitudes.

He regretted so much that he had been obsessed with hatred.
