Blade of Wind

Departure back to Beijing early the next morning.

Shang Long broke up with us right here, and flew into the sky on Zouyu himself, and he didn't know who he was looking for.

Most of our group was wounded, Zhenzhou Marquis dispatched a small team to escort me, Mo Yekong thought he didn't have enough manpower and wanted Zhenzhou Marquis to divide up his troops, but I stopped him.

Although we all feel that the monsters are targeting me, Zhenzhou is still the most infested place by monsters. If there is any loss in the city, then the people in Zhenzhou will really have no way out.

So I dragged this group of remnants and defeated generals on the road.

When I went back, I walked much slower than when I came.

On the one hand, it was because there were wounded, and on the other hand, it was because there were few people, so Mo Yekong was more cautious.I am also the one who was injured and taken care of, so I can't say anything, but I thanked him one night when I was camping, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, and said, "It turned out to be troublesome for you."

Mo Yekong just bowed and saluted, and said, "It's all the job of a humble minister."

I smiled and said, "Am I stupid? Going back and forth like this is like a farce."

Mo Yekong pondered for a while before softly saying: "I don't think so. The Lord came to Zhenzhou, showing a kind of courage and persistence. Even if it takes another 100 years, all the soldiers and civilians in Zhenzhou will remember that the Lord is on the city wall." The heroic posture of the battle. Everyone can feel that the Lord has never given up on a single subject."

I burst out laughing, feeling even more helpless, "Do you think I'm here to play a show to buy people's hearts?"

Mo Yekong even laughed softly, and said: "What is the Lord's intention, I dare not make wild guesses, I am just explaining the facts that I see in my eyes."

It was the first time I saw him smile like this, and I couldn't help frowning as I didn't know what his words meant.It happened that Xiuhuang came to help me change the medicine, and Mo Yekong also bowed and left.

Xiu Huang put down the medicine box, lowered his eyes and said softly, "Master, please take off your clothes."

I responded, took off my shirt, and turned my back to him.

Although after Qinglong left, he was the one who helped me change the dressing, and I didn't mind it anymore, but he was still reserved, always sitting upright and not looking sideways.

It's the same this time, as I untied my bandage, I said softly: "The lord should at least bring a maid with him."

"If there is a suitable person, it doesn't matter." I laughed and said, "But what should I bring with the maid who only screams and drags her feet? If you feel embarrassed, just treat me as a man. Anyway, it’s not like you haven’t seen me as a man.”

Xiu Huang didn't reply to my words, but sighed and said, "My lord's wound has opened up again, didn't you say not to use too much force, and don't move too far?"

"I've been paying attention." I argued, "I just fell asleep accidentally. Do you think I want to? It hurts."

He didn't speak for a long time behind me, but when I was about to look back, he reached out and stroked my back.

I don't know if it's because of the ointment, or because of his own constitution, I just feel his fingertips are slightly cool, slowly brushing across my back, and my skin trembles slightly because of this, I can't help being startled.

Xiu Huang's voice was low and soft, as if helpless and pity.

"Why are you working so hard?"

At that moment, I suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

I was drunk that time, and I vaguely remember that there was also a person who caressed the scar on my back like this, sighed and asked: Why do you want to be brave?Why not love your body?

I don't remember how I answered at that time, nor what happened afterwards, but when I think about it now, I don't know why I suddenly feel like something is blocked in my heart, sore and swollen, which is indescribable.

"Lord."

I came back to my senses because of Xiu Huang's voice, and found that he had changed my medicine for me, re-bandaged me, and was putting my clothes on my shoulders.

"Oh, thank you. I'll do it myself." I answered and got dressed myself.

"What was the Lord thinking just now?" Xiu Huang asked.

"Man." I replied.

Xiu Huang was stunned, with an expression of discomfort, and lowered his head to pack the medicine box.

I smiled and said, "I thought people from the Twelve Kingdoms were much more casual in the relationship between men and women than we are."

Xiu Huang said: "Why does your lord think so?"

When he asked such a rhetorical question, I didn't know how to answer, so I coughed lightly and said, "Look, at least the people here don't have the troubles of children and blood relationship. And getting married..."

"Does the master think that because there will be no children, you can have wild sex?"

Xiu Huang interrupted me, her voice didn't fluctuate much, but I became embarrassed for a moment, coughed lightly again, and said, "That's not what I meant."

Xiuhuang said: "Although we may be born differently from the fetus, we are indeed not the combination of father's sperm and mother's blood like the fetus, but from the time when our parents tied the knot on the wood, to when we were born and brought up, how can we be born? Is it the parents' wish that Yiding is different? Who dares to say that this is not a blood relationship? Who can be completely indifferent?"

I was silent for a while, speechless.

Xiu Huang continued: "The marriage system here does have very few restrictions on both parties, but everyone has their own thoughts and feelings, whether it is a wild marriage or a marriage, they always have their own thinking and feelings. People who only care about benefits, but if you think that everyone doesn't care, the Lord is a bit generalized."

I was quiet for a while, and then said softly: "Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, but I just said it...I'm sorry, I will try my best to pay attention in the future."

"I don't feel offended, the Lord reminded me a long time ago." Xiu Huang replied, lowered his eyes and continued to tidy up his medicine box.

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and said again: "Since you still remember, and you have your own persistence in this regard, why do you still follow me?"

Xiu Huang's movements stopped, then raised her warm and moist eyes to look at me for a long time, and then said softly: "I want to look at you."

I couldn't help but startled. "scare?"

Xiu Huang continued softly: "How will the king who knelt down to the people at the enthronement ceremony lead Fangguo to what kind of future? I want to stand by your side and use these eyes to see clearly and carefully. clear."

I lowered my shoulders and smiled helplessly: "Please, the entire Fangguo is already heavy enough on me, so don't put any more pressure on me."

Xiu Huang was silent for a long while, his voice became lower, and he said, "Sorry, I didn't mean that."

I laughed, sighed again, and said, "Are all men like this? I always feel that women can't do big things, women shouldn't rush ahead of men, and women can't bear too much responsibility? Once a woman stands in this position, it will Would you like to see how long she can stand?"

"No, I never meant that." Xiu Huang argued eagerly.

I raised my hand to interrupt him, smiled softly, and said, "I know, I also know that many people have good intentions. Good men will protect women and want women to be safer and happier, but do you know I don’t know, women also have people who they think are important, and things that they want to protect desperately?”

Xiu Huang pursed his lips and said nothing.

I smiled again and said: "Maybe a smart woman will have other ways to achieve the best of both worlds. But I can't, I'm a fool, I can, it's just fighting. So all I can do is just fight. You Ask me why I am desperate, because there is no way, I only know this trick."

Xiu Huang looked at me for a long time, then sighed softly, and said: "It's getting late, my lord, please rest."

Even though he said that, he didn't look like he was going to leave.

I raised my eyebrows to look at him, and smiled, "What? Do you want to stay with me?"

He actually nodded.

Instead, I was surprised for a moment, looked at him, opened my mouth, but couldn't speak.

Xiu Huang smiled lightly, and said: "My lord, please rest assured, I will guard here, and will not let my lord break open the wound again in his sleep."

... Hey, he made fun of him.

I pursed my lips, sighed, and muttered, "It would be great if there was Bi Shuangzhu from Qing Kingdom. It wouldn't take an instant to heal such a small injury? Why doesn't Fang Country have such a treasure? Why don't you go grab Yangzi next time."

"...My lord, robbing treasures from other countries...is a felony."

I lay down on the quilt and sighed again, "So it's just talking."

Sitting beside me, Xiu Huang stretched out his hand to help me pull the quilt, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Ok, I know."

As a result, Xiuhuang really stayed in my tent all night.

When Mo Yekong saw him the next morning, he had a strange expression on his face, but he still didn't say anything, he just asked me if I could set up camp.

But before we set off, an orderly came hurriedly from Pusu on a flying beast.It brought the news I least wanted to hear.

The Custodian rebelled.
