=======================

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Buwen gently stroked Su Xun's back, lowered his head as if to comfort him, and hugged him tightly, "It's safe now."

The little emperor in his arms was silent, Xiao Buwen sighed lightly, didn't say much, just hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to rub him into his body with great strength, but Su Xun felt strange So a bit of relief.

"Your Majesty is not injured."

"……No."

Su Xun slowly raised his head from Xiao Buwen's arms. He could clearly see the worry in Xiao Gonggong's eyes when he looked at him, subconsciously tilted his head to avoid his fiery gaze: "I'm fine."

When he lowered his head, he saw Xiao Buwen's right hand that was still holding the sword, with a winding bloodstain still flowing on it.

"You are hurt?"

Xiao Buwen subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to hold his arm, but then he realized that it was just a cover-up, so he said, "It's just a flesh wound."

"No, how do you know they didn't put any poison on the knife?" Su Xun frowned, "Let's go back to the tent, the national teacher is there, let him show you."

"Your Majesty is worried about your servant?" Xiao Buwen teased subconsciously, and when he saw Su Xun's serious expression, he restrained himself and said, "I need the national teacher to come and see, but it's just a small injury. Besides, if The poisonous words have already exploded, how can the slave talk to His Majesty here?"

Then why are you still...

Su Xun pursed his lips, but didn't ask why Xiao Buwen had known this kind of risk long ago, and still blocked the knife for him.

He was only silent for a moment, and then said: "...what do you want?"

"Your Majesty wants to reward the slave?" Xiao Buwen raised his eyebrows, "Can the slave ask for anything?"

The original emotion in Su Xun's heart was immediately lost by Xiao Buwen, he said speechlessly: "I can only say that I will try my best."

If you ask me to get you a star and moon or something, I'm sorry I really don't have one.

"I don't want anything, I just want Your Majesty to be well." Xiao Buwen looked up at the sky, the bright moon in the sky was still bright and clear, it seemed that he would not be stained by the evil and blood in this world.

And his majesty, who was supposed to hang high in the sky like the bright moon in the sky, looking down on all the creatures on the earth, but instead he set his sights on those who were regarded as "untouchables".Poor families, ordinary people, or court ladies and eunuchs, these scholars are ashamed to mention their existence, but are regarded as precious subjects by His Majesty.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that I tried my best to protect him.

Not just to protect an emperor, but to protect a fire in this damned darkness, to protect those traitors among the nobles who lifted themselves to the clouds.

Xiao Buwen could even recall that when His Majesty woke up from his illness that day, he looked at him with vigilance, scrutiny, and resentment, but that kind of look excited him and made him know for the first time Well, it turns out that these so-called big families don't all look at them like wild dogs.

Your Majesty, it is you who made me realize the dignity of human beings, and you who taught me that all people should be entitled to live a good life. It is you who taught me that not being born into a family does not mean that you are born guilty... I have seen the light , How can bear the darkness without light?

Want me to be good?

Su Xun was helpless, what kind of reward was this? Eunuch Xiao saved his life anyway, so could it be that the emperor himself seemed so stingy that he couldn't even bear to give a reward?

Su Xun thought for a while, like Xiao Buwen... Cough, nine thousand years old, what do you generally like.

Thanks to the TV series of the later generations, Su Xun really thought of something good: "If you do something wrong in the future... I mean, as long as it is not seeking to usurp the throne, or neglecting human life, I can give you a life-saving sentence." promise."

At this time, there is no such thing as a death-free gold medal. This is the only honor. Xiao Buwen was shocked by the generous reward of the little emperor, so he couldn't help raising his voice: "Your Majesty is serious?!"

"Well, do you want me to make a written statement for you? You don't care about seeking to usurp the throne and disregarding human life."

Xiao Buwen felt his heart beating wildly, and an unprecedented feeling flooded into his heart.He stretched out his hand suddenly, and tightly grasped the little emperor's hand.

Only then did Su Xun notice that Eunuch Xiao's body was trembling a little.

Wait, are you so excited?

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Buwen had countless emotions surging in his heart, but in the end it was only a short sentence, "This slave will never let down His Majesty's trust."

Under Xiao Buwen's fiery and excited eyes, Su Xun nodded stiffly: "I believe in you."

A burst of birdsong interrupted the conversation between the two. Xiao Buwen, who was immersed in excitement, immediately pulled out the silver whistle at his waist, put it to his mouth and blew out a special bird's cry.

Taking advantage of this accident, Xiao Buwen quickly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart so as not to lose his composure on the spot.

You came and went back and forth a few times on both sides, and Su Xun saw that Eunuch Xiao, whose muscles had been tense, slowly relaxed.

"He's a dark guard."

Xiao Buwen jumped off the horse, holding the rein in one hand, and the long sword that was still dripping blood in the other.

The head of the dark guard who rushed over saw the pile of corpses here, his whole body froze, and when he looked up again, he saw His Majesty sitting on horseback and Eunuch Xiao leading the horse, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xiao Buwen's face was extremely ugly, as long as nothing happened to His Majesty, they could at least survive.

He took two steps forward and knelt on one knee in a pool of blood: "The assassins have been cleaned up, but...they moved too fast, and we couldn't survive."

"Not one?" Xiao Buwen frowned, "Have you found any other clues?"

The man moved his hands forward and handed a broken arrow: "We found this."

Xiao Buwen took two steps forward, picked up the broken arrow, "... from the Tuoba family?"

During autumn hunting, in order to facilitate the calculation of prey, various ministers and envoys, as well as their guards, used arrows with special markings, such as Su Xun, who used simple dragon patterns engraved on them.

Su Xun frowned when he heard this, this is not quite right, if he wanted to assassinate, why would he use such an arrow that would show his identity, but if he wanted to frame him, this method would be too childish.

Xiao Buwen obviously also thought of this, he turned to look at Su Xun: "Your Majesty?"

Su Xun pondered for a while, and said: "In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the arrows of the guards carried by Tuoba Hong flowed into the hands of the assassin, and this matter has nothing to do with him anyway."

If people from the Eighteenth Department were involved in the matter, then this matter was not simply an assassination incident, and if it was not handled carefully, it would become a conflict between the Yu Dynasty and the Gu Shuo Dynasty.

But the previous drought not only affected the Central Plains, as far as he knew, the pastures outside the customs also suffered large-scale dryness and death. Eighteen tribes lived as nomads, and many cattle and sheep starved to death this summer. The barbarism and cruelty of the people will definitely attack and plunder the border people this winter.

That being the case, there is no need for him to unilaterally maintain the relationship between the two countries.

Su Xun said: "When Tuoba Hong returns to the tent tomorrow, send people to surround him and order Su Cha to investigate the identity of the assassin."

"Tell Su Cha that Tuoba Hong is a member of the [-]th Department. For the sake of the [-]th Department, let them solve it internally. We don't need to come forward except for prohibiting Tuoba Hong's people from entering and leaving the camp."

Although he has no relationship with Gu Shuochao, Su Xun doesn't want to give Gu Shuochao a reason to attack in vain.

Xiao Buwen heard His Majesty pass this matter on to Tuoba Hong and Su Cha, two people who had long been at odds with him, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart, His Majesty has really become more sophisticated.

"Just do as His Majesty tells you."

Su Xun looked at the fallen guard again, was silent for a while, and continued: "These guards, investigate and find out who has been bribed. If they can't judge, they will die as the guardian, so that they can settle down."

"I also want to appease their families. They are given priority in the positions in the factory. If you have any other difficulties, you can also raise them. If I can solve them, I will try my best to help them."

Sitting on his horse, he took another look at the old hunter lying in a pool of blood before leaving.

"His Majesty?"

The face of the old hunter when he died was deeply etched in his mind.

"...Nothing, let's go."

[The author has something to say: Although Xiao Gonggong’s reward has just been obtained, I have already thought about when this promise of avoiding death will be used.
