There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

The man reached out from behind Xiao and hugged him tightly, and then tightly clamped Xiao's neck with a blade.Xiao didn't even dare to take a big breath, let alone shout, for he was afraid that if he moved a little, the blade would cut his flesh.

Xiao had never experienced such a situation where someone had his throat stuck with a knife, but for some reason, he was not very afraid.

If the man behind him wanted to kill him, he would probably be dead by now.Since the man hasn't done anything yet, there must be some reason, so he doesn't need to be too frightened.

What's more, Qinglong is still asleep and still, Xiao firmly believes that if his life is in danger, Qinglong will not stand by and watch.

The person behind him really said:

"Where did you get this knife?"

He tightened his stranglehold, and Xiao didn't want to risk his neck being cut, so he didn't say a word.The man seemed to think that he was resisting in silence, and wanted to tighten it even more, only to realize that Xiao seemed a little out of breath.

He let go mercifully, giving Xiao's neck a little room to move.Xiao took a deep breath and opened his mouth to answer his question:

"A gift from a friend."

"What friend?"

"It's a ranger I met when I was in the capital," Xiao thought of Xiao Yi, feeling a little melancholy in his heart, with a wry smile on his lips, "His name is Xiao Yi, and he left the capital after giving me this dagger. Maybe he's dead after all these years."

The person behind Xiao didn't make a sound for a while, and after a brief silence, he spit out words that surprised Xiao:

"He's not dead."

Xiao didn't expect that he would get such an answer, the person behind him must have a close relationship with Xiao Yi.So he quickly asked:

"You know him?"

The people behind were silent again, and Xiao felt that the man quietly took the blade away, but his hands still hugged Xiao's body tightly, preventing him from moving.

Xiao felt the man's body trembling. He was shaking so badly that Xiao even had the illusion that he was crying.

With a guess in Xiao's heart, he couldn't help becoming excited:

"You're Xiaoyi, right? I'm Xiao, you you you you you...do you still recognize me?"

Xiao was very nervous.He was in a panic, unable to speak fluently.Is that person really Xiao Yi?Is he the assassin sent by the emperor?

The man behind dropped the dagger and just hugged him, his head resting on Xiao's shoulder, and Xiao felt that the clothes on his shoulders were damp.

So he knew that it must be Xiao Yi, and he couldn't be wrong.Xiaoyi always cries so much, she will shed tears when she gets a little emotional.He knew that apart from Xiao Yi, no one else would cry on his shoulder at this moment.They haven't seen each other in years, and nothing is the same, but some things may never change.

Xiao gently patted Xiaoyi's hand:

"Don't cry, you don't cry. It's rare to see each other, and we should be happy for it."

Although he said so, in fact, he felt that he was about to cry.Tears kept rolling in his eyes, and they would drip down as long as he blinked a little.He raised his head, desperately trying to stop the tears from falling, trying to leave a stronger impression on Xiao Yi.But the choked up voice had exposed his excitement, and he was indeed about to cry.

Xiaoyi hugged him for a long time, then finally let go, and came to sit in front of him.Xiao looked at his appearance carefully and realized that he was no longer the child he was back then.

He has grown taller, and seems to be thinner than before, his arms are so thin that only skin and bones remain.His skin is very fair, and he doesn't seem to see much sunlight.His face is calm and beautiful. If you are not familiar with him, it is hard to imagine that such a person put a dagger on someone's neck just now.

At this time, he had already wiped away his tears, but his red and swollen eyes exposed the fact that he was crying so hard just now, and his lips curled up, revealing a lovely smile:

"When I first received the mission, I was thinking, could it be you who they wanted me to kill? Even though I thought so, I still felt 'impossible'. So hesitantly followed you all the way, now We finally met."

With his smile like this, the child Xiao once knew seemed to be back.Xiao was full of thoughts, with mixed feelings in his heart, and many questions came to his mind, and he didn't know where to ask them for a while.

After all, it was Xiaoyi who said first:

"After I left the capital, I had nowhere to go, so I could only wander around. It happened that I ran into Shen Feng who I met when I was in the capital. Shen Feng was a few years older than us. Qian □□. Later, he got into trouble with someone he shouldn't have, and couldn't stay in the capital any longer, so he was forced to leave.

Shen Feng was very happy to see me, and said that he is currently in need of a helper.So he recognized me as his brother, named me Shen Yi, and taught me how to be an assassin.I worked together with Shen Feng for a few years, and after he died, I worked alone. As time went on, I also made some famous names, and people often came to me.The day is still going on. "

"how did you find me?"

"A man came to me specifically and said that he heard that I was the most famous assassin in this area, so he offered me money to assassinate a man. The man was so generous that he gave 1000 taels just for the deposit. After the agreement was made, You have to pay me another 1 taels, and even if it doesn’t work out, give me another 1000 taels for hard work. I thought this business would not lose money anyway, so I took it. The man didn’t say your name, but just took the portrait. Show me. I think it looks a bit like you, but I dare not admit it, so I decided to come and have a look."

When he said this, he smiled again:

"Your appearance has changed a lot. If you hadn't held the dagger I gave you in your hand, I really wouldn't have recognized it."

Xiao touched his face. Many things happened in the past two years, which really changed his face a lot.Sometimes he looks at himself in the mirror and feels like he doesn't recognize himself.

The two sat and talked to each other, telling each other about their experiences over the years.Xiao's experience is too special, and it involves secrets, so it's hard to explain clearly. Most of the time, Shen Yi is talking, and Xiao sits opposite and listens quietly.

They talked for a long time, Qinglong appeared behind Xiao at some point, bent down and asked with a smile:

"I waited impatiently in that room and came out to have a look. I didn't expect you to chat. Who is this? Did you know each other before?"

Xiao turned to look at Qinglong and smiled at him:

"You say it's a coincidence, they sent someone to kill me, and they found him. This is Shen Yi, the ranger I met when I was in the capital, and he gave me this dagger."

After Qinglong heard Xiao's words, his expression seemed a little subtle, but there was still a smile on his lips:

"That's really a coincidence,"

Shen Yi looked at Qinglong, Xiao raised his head to look at Qinglong, then at Shen Yi, knowing that he should introduce himself, but he didn't know how to speak. After looking at both sides for a long time, he finally said:

"This is Qingjun, my...friend."

After he said this, his face flushed a little, and his heart felt a little guilty.Recalling that Qinglong used to call himself his partner in front of the sharks, but he called Qinglong a friend in front of his acquaintances, I always felt that it was not very good.But Qinglong is the master of the East China Sea after all, and no one dares to question his decision, but Xiao always finds it difficult for him to face his friend's surprised face.

Back when he and Shen Yi were friends together, he always hated this kind of relationship between men, Shen Yi also knew about this.Now that the two haven't seen each other for several years, he has become a partner with a man. No matter how he thinks about it, he always feels embarrassed.

He raised his eyelids and peeked at the dragon, afraid that Qinglong would be angry at what he said.Unexpectedly, Qinglong's expression didn't change much, he still had a faint smile, and didn't say anything.Seeing him like this, Xiao couldn't feel at ease.Although he and Qinglong have not known each other for a long time, they have spent a lot of time together day and night.Knowing that Qinglong never puts all emotions on his face.At this moment, although he was smiling, he couldn't say what was on his mind.

Shen Yi didn't seem to notice Xiao's uneasiness at all, just smiled and nodded to Qinglong, then smiled to Xiao:

"Your friend is so vigilant. I have been with you for many days, and I tried to find opportunities to do it several times. Every time, I had to give up because I was noticed by him—fortunately, he was here, otherwise I would regret it if I killed you by mistake. and."

Xiao also smiled, raised his head to look at Qinglong, and reached out to hold his hand:

"Thanks to you."

Although he called Qinglong a friend, when he looked up at him, there was affection in his eyes unconsciously.As an assassin, Shen Yi has always been sensitive and vigilant.Sitting across from him and seeing Xiao's expression, he understood the real relationship between the two.

It was unexpected that Xiao would show such an expression in front of a man.

Shen Yi looked at the situation in front of him and didn't know how to sigh.

He has longed for Xiao for a long time, not just in a day or two.

When Xiao Xiao first joined the place where the rangers gathered, he was not particularly eye-catching.He was only wearing ordinary clothes, and the sword hanging from his waist was plain and simple, without any surprises at all.But Shen Yi has been attracted to him since then, in Shen Yi's eyes, Xiao seems to be shining.

Shen Yi didn't know what kind of emotion this was, he was only 14 years old at that time, and he didn't understand anything.He just followed Xiao instinctively, and felt happy every day when he was with him.

Until one day, he and Xiao passed by in front of Nanfeng Pavilion together, and saw two men standing in front of the door, hugging and kissing each other.

Shen Yi felt that something that had been puzzling in his heart was unraveled at this moment.

But he also heard Xiao's voice at the same time:

"Go away, these people are so strange."

He looked at Xiao's face, and Xiao's face showed disgust and unhappiness, and Shen Yi's heart suddenly turned cold.He hid his wish in his heart and never tried to reveal it again.

But at this time, Xiao held the man's hand and told him that it was his "friend".

Shen Yi looked at the scene in front of him, not knowing what expression to make.

The author has something to say:

I feel... I feel like... I have a cold.It's so cold in the room and my back hurts.Look at the temperature gauge and it's 20 degrees in the room. It shouldn't be particularly cold. I was in Xiamen before, and the room was probably less than 20 degrees at night. I didn't wear much clothes, so I didn't feel so cold.

That's about a fake 20 degrees.
