Prince Wanted

At the same time, there was another knock on the door of Gu's mansion. The person who came was the confidant of the King of Chu. He sent an order from the King of Chu to let Gu Xiangyan enter the palace immediately to discuss countermeasures.

Li Qin patted Gu Xiangyan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the gates of the city are closed now, and no infected people will come in."

Gu Xiangyan put his arms around his shoulders, and kissed Li Qin's lips in front of everyone, "No matter how powerful you are, you must not act rashly before I come."

Li Qinjun blushed. He felt that he and Gu Xiangyan had a sticky feeling like newlyweds. No amount of hugging could relieve the longing in his heart. He had to roll on the bed and hand over the most important thing to each other. It's a bit of a struggle before giving up.

"I know, His Highness knows it well." Li Qin was about to push, but his body was too honest, and his arms naturally wrapped around Gu Xiangyan.

"Cough, cough!" Chu Wang's confidant urged secretly.

Gu Xiangyan gently straightened Li Qin's clothes, and then left the Gu residence.

Before the incense stick was up, Li Qin cast a spell and reached the top of the city tower in a flash.

The defenders of Yingdu City had received the news in advance, and the city gate was closed, and there was no sound outside the city.

noon.

At the height of the city tower, Li Qin suddenly saw a group of civilians fleeing from the city, still physically able to support the sick, and the children were carrying cloth bags on their backs. Called: "We are saved, my lord, open the door, we are fleeing from the south, I heard that the king of Chu and Lord Ling Yin are kind, come and save us."

There was a cloud of darkness outside the city gate, and Li Qin recalled the situation recorded in the book of life and death. These people were all healthy and living people.

The general defending the city ordered: "Close the city gates tightly and don't let these people in."

An upright soldier said to the general: "My lord, most of them are the family members of the soldiers who fought on the front line. Besides, the wire reports that a group of walking dead are coming towards Yingdu. Should we ignore them?"

The guard general asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Bing was stunned, and then said: "I have no official position, and I just joined the army this year."

The city guard general asked again: "Where did your family's ancestors live?"

Xiaobing replied: "Yingdu washes the streets."

The general guarding the city put his hand away, and he poked the little soldier's chest, saying: "This group of people are neither acquaintances nor relatives and friends of you. Why do you worry about them? Do your part well, so that you can keep your own comfortable."

After Li Qin heard this, his phoenix eyes narrowed, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's unreasonable."

"My lord, have you told the king about our situation? Why doesn't the king let us enter the city?" someone asked from below the tower.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely not ignore us. My son is a soldier in the north and has been favored by His Majesty all year round. His Majesty must be discussing how to arrange us. Be patient and wait." The old man who was the leader said.

"But Mr. Zhu, those people infected with the disease are also heading here, and they will arrive soon."

The old man was silent, and suddenly another person shouted from the tower: "My lord on the city wall, I haven't eaten for a long time, can I have a bite of food?"

Several lieutenants guarding the city each held a big chicken leg. They gnawed a few bites, leaving only the bare chicken bone. I don’t know who took the head. One chicken leg bone was thrown down the tower, and one after another chicken bones and pig bones went to the city. Throw down.

"Hahahahahahahahaha, is there enough to eat?" The soldier laughed.

"Too much deceit—"

The people under the city were angry, pointed at the city and cursed: "When Master Ling Yin knows what you have done, you must be severely punished!"

Li Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at the guarding officer who was drinking alcohol and eating meat, he clenched his fists, a stream of anger pooled in his chest, he thought, Gu Xiangyan said that he should not act rashly.

The sky is gradually getting dark, and it is now the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and there is a breath of white mist at any time at night.

In the south of Yingdu, there was a sound of rumbling footsteps, and the howling of wolves was creepy. In the depths of the dark dense forest, something was approaching the tower of Yingdu.

When Li Qin went back, Gu Xiangyan just came back from the palace.

"How's the discussion with King Chu going?" Li Qin asked.

There was a hint of worry between Gu Xiangyan's brows, but when he saw Li Qin, his expression was much gentler, "The king of Chu did not agree to let them enter the city, and Ling Yin also received news that the epidemic victims were less than twenty years away from Yingdu. In Lidi, it may be too late for the people to enter the city."

Li Qin was stunned, and he said: "Isn't it coming tonight?"

"Yes." Gu Xiangyan's eyes darkened, he pinched a corner of the Eight Immortals table, and he was able to break off a corner of the high-grade mahogany.

Li Qin said: "Why don't you come and pray, I will help you as a god, maybe you can save Chumin's life."

Gu Xiangyan was startled for a moment, he wondered, "The epidemic is a natural disaster, and you are a god, if you forcefully obstruct it, won't it hurt you?"

Li Qin didn't have a clue in his heart, he really had never experienced such a situation, he smiled and approached Gu Xiangyan, hehe said: "Do you know who I am, my highness is the majestic prince of the heaven, the so-called law does not blame the superior , who dares to convict His Highness."

Gu Xiangyan couldn't hide the worry between his brows, he said: "If there is an accident, how can we stop it?"

Li Qin touched his chin, and he said seriously: "You just tell heaven: the wish just now doesn't count, don't allow it, take it back!"

Gu Xiangyan: "..." He was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

When they came to the top of the city tower, the soldiers on duty took the opportunity to play cards in a leisurely way, accompanied by a few prostitutes disguised as delivering wine, and they didn't even notice Gu Xiangyan's appearance.

"Ridiculous." Gu Xiangyan threw the wine jar and said in a deep voice.

The sound of the shattering of the wine jar awakened the drunken officers defending the city. The disheveled sergeant quickly raised his head, looked at Gu Xiangyan, and exclaimed, "I have seen Mr. Gu."

Gu Xiangyan's face was frosty, he walked to the side of the tower with his hands behind his back, and looked down.Li Qin could vaguely see that his hands were slowly clenched into fists, as if he was enduring something.

Groups of people huddled together, adults hugged children, old people wrapped their clothes tightly, shivering and gathered together to keep warm.The defenders ordered that no open flames should be lit outside the city to prevent fires, so they had no way to keep warm.

Suddenly, there was a sound of trampling in the distance, and the crackling sound of dead wood and dead branches was creepy at night.

The crows neighed, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and Li Qin's sense of smell was the keenest. In addition to the strong bloody smell, there was also a rotten stench all over the sky. This is the smell of rotting corpses!

In the darkness, countless rotting shadows came under the moonlight, their mouths were full of thick yellow liquid, their necks and limbs were festered to the bone, their eyes were full of greed, "Eat...eat!"

"Gu Xiangyan, hurry up, it's too late." Li Qin said anxiously.

The people nesting downstairs have been awakened by the movement of the rotting corpses. Two to 3000 people squeezed into the bottom of the city tower, crying heart-piercingly, "Help us, open the city gate quickly, we will die if we don't open the city gate." ah."

Gu Xiangyan turned around suddenly, he hugged Li Qin's waist, and hugged him deeply, "Be careful, don't force yourself."

Li Qin's phoenix eyes curved, and he kissed Gu Xiangyan's cheek, "Who is your Highness?"

Gu Xiangyan nodded lightly, then closed his eyes and read the sacrificial words, "...May the people of Chu under the city tower not be harmed by the epidemic."

In the night, Li Qin had black hair and black clothes. His long hair fluttered, and he stepped on the city wall, eager to try.After waiting for a while, they didn't see the small golden characters that would appear in front of the priest when he prayed.

"Dad, save me, woo woo woo—"

The sobbing sound from the tower was almost desperate, Li Qin gritted his teeth, his dark phoenix eyes glowed strangely in the night, he thought to himself, don't worry about it, save people first.

At this time, the rotting corpse held up a boy, aimed its foul-smelling mouth at the immature neck and gnawed at it.

Li Qin's figure was like a stream of black light, the long sword in his hand flashed coldly, and when it landed, it completely separated the neck and body of the carrion.

All the crying stopped abruptly.

"Your Majesty sent someone to rescue us—"

"Long live the king, long live the king!"

Instead, there was cheering.

Li Qin fought against thousands of rotting corpses by himself, and he had to ensure that the people would not be affected by his spells. He glanced at Gu Xiangyan on the tower, as calm as water, with no abnormal color on his face. Li Qin thought, what a gentleman! wind.

"Tch!!!" Thousands of rotting corpses seemed to smell Li Qin's pure immortal power, and roared from their stinky mouths. They all gathered together and rushed towards Li Qin frantically.

The Qiankun Sword in Li Qin's hands is pure and clean, and contains a vast Qi of Qiankun.As soon as he turned his sword, his sword intent was sharp, and the cloudy white sword light immediately drew an arc of light, wrapped in a shocking power, and swept towards the group of carrion corpses.

The night suddenly fell like day, and the sword light illuminated the entire sky.

The sound of broken waist bones was densely packed, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.

All sounds are silent.

The people and the city guards covered their eyes with their hands. The burning sensation brought by the sword light just now made them cry crazily. Trembling all over.

Li Qin looked back in the sea of ​​corpses, and grinned at Gu Xiangyan on the tower.

Gu Xiangyan looked at him deeply, as if there was only room for this one person in his eyes.He gently raised his hand and stroked his cheek.

Li Qin paused, and immediately understood, he smiled and touched his cheek, as expected, there was a smear of blood on his face, he didn't pay attention, and wiped it on his clothes with his hand.

Putting away the Qiankun sword, Li Qin walked towards Gu Xiangyan under a layer of moonlight.

And at this moment, there was a loud bang from the sky—such as a landslide, a huge rock colliding, and a dull thunder approaching.

"Ahhh! Mom, I'm afraid of thunder." The child timidly shrank into his mother's arms.

The people who had just been saved were frightened to the extreme again, which was even more terrifying than the carrion corpses before. The sound of thunderstorms seemed to kill everyone in an instant.

Li Qin paused on his toes, his pupils contracted, and he immediately looked up at the sky, where thunder and lightning, like a wandering dragon, loomed among the black clouds, and the lightning flickered, flying and flowing, entrenched above Li Qin's head.

"Gu Xiangyan..." Li Qin's lips parted slightly, and he looked at the top of the tower in a daze.

Gu Xiangyan obviously understood something, his calm and self-sufficient expression shattered like a mask in an instant, and he shouted: "Go into the crowd, the thunder of heaven will not strike mortals—"

Li Qin had never thought about this scene, he reacted more slowly than usual, after hearing Gu Xiangyan's words, Li Qin made a gesture to run away, but the thunder and lightning above the sky had already covered the sky and covered the sky, thousands of thunderbolts fell to the ground like sword rain, and their directions fit perfectly Li Chin.

"Ah----!!!" Li Qin had no way to avoid, no way to hide, every inch of his skin was pierced by the thunder.

Thunder rang endlessly, and lightning swam across Li Qin's body, and the electric grid wrapped him in it.

"Don't, don't come here..." Li Qin convulsed all over, thousands of electric currents flowed into the sea like rivers, penetrating into the internal organs.

Gu Xiangyan's pupils dilated, he looked at Li Qin, and stretched out his arms to hug him, but Li Qin backed away desperately, his body flashed with lightning.

Feelings of regret never before swept over Gu Xiangyan's body, he stared at Li Qin without blinking, heartache, regret, and pity were far from being able to describe his mood at the moment.

damn he-

Why did Li Qin be put in danger when he knew it was dangerous——

Fortunately, this is the only one of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, punishing Li Qin for tampering with his destiny, the current flowed through Li Qin's post for 49 cycles before gradually disappearing.

When Li Qin woke up from the bone-eroding pain, he found himself lying in Gu Xiangyan's arms.

Gu Xiangyan's meticulous bun was slightly crooked by half an inch, and Qingjun's eyebrows were extremely soft, but the other party's arms were wrapped around like iron bars, and he couldn't move a single bit.

Li Qin's mouth hurt even when he bent his mouth, so he squinted his eyes and tried to make a "smiling" expression, trying to make Gu Xiangyan feel relieved.

But I don't know if it was just the opposite, or if he smiled too fakely, Gu Xiangyan's dark eyes sank even deeper.

"Hey, don't look like this," Li Qin's bones were hurting, but he was optimistic, and couldn't see Gu Xiangyan's cold appearance, "Smile."

Gu Xiangyan bowed his head on his neck, tightly grasping Li Qin's clothes with five fingers, "I'm sorry."

"It's none of your business, this is what I asked for..." Li Qin forced a smile with his lips pale.

After returning to Gu's mansion from outside the city, Li Qin has been recuperating quietly. What surprised him was that he had a special constitution, and only Wu Yang's medicine could cure him, but why did Gu Xiangyan's mansion also have such Panacea?

The days were getting longer, and when he was able to go to the fields, he asked Ah Fu to buy some refreshments from the dessert shop and spend the afternoon outside the Chenxiang Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, when Ah Fu came back, his eyes were red—out of anger.

"Obviously it's Mr. Gu's credit, why do they all say it's the credit of King Chu and Ling Yin?" Ah Fu was indignant.

Li Qin waving the Mountain and River Pearl Fan, lying lazily on the long couch carved from mahogany, he said: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

As he spoke, Li Qin also poured a cup of tea for Ah Fu.

Ah Fu said angrily: "You saved the people outside the city that day. I don't know who took the lead. They said that you were a subordinate of the King of Chu and were ordered to come to protect the people. Then suddenly there was a thunderbolt. There was a demon in the thunderbolt. Harassing people indiscriminately, Lord Priest actually let you run into the crowd to hide. It's just—it's right and wrong!"

Li Qin sighed inaudibly.

Ah Fu was so angry that he slapped the table, almost scaring Li Qin.

"Do you know that there is something more excessive. That day, Mr. Gu was worried about your injury, so he picked you up. Ling Yin arrived at some time, and sent Mr. Gu away with a smile on his face like a tiger, and then cleaned up the mess. He said to the people:' God bless my country of Chu, I prayed day and night, hoping that immortals would come down to save the common people, as expected, when God saw me in Chicheng, he sent immortals down to protect the people of Chu. From now on, Chu will no longer be afraid of Qin!' As soon as he finished speaking, those who only liked Those who listen to good words will be fooled in a short while, and they will all be grateful to Ling Yin and the king of Chu, and completely forget about our family, Mr. Gu."

Li Qin shook his fan, although the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, but there was no smile inside.

"Where's Gu Xiangyan? Didn't he say anything?"

Ah Fu wiped the corners of his eyes, and he said: "Master Gu never cared about these vain names. The king of Chu handed over the matter of showing off to Ling Yin, and then handed over the most offending to Mr. Gu, and asked Mr. Gu to tell the people that they still don't allow it." Entering the city," Ah Fu sniffed at this point, "some rioters even threw their shoes at Mr. Gu!"

Li Qin paused, and didn't even bother to bend the corners of his eyes.

"Why is Gu Xiangyan so honest!"

Ah Fu finally knelt down beside Li Qin, "My lord, my lord really likes you, the King of Chu wants to take you into the palace, so please don't agree."

"Oh?" Li Qin leaned back on the couch, and said, "There's one more."

Ah Fu nodded, "Yes, only this matter, Mr. Gu is resolutely unwilling, so King Chu tried every means to get Mr. Gu to hand you over."

Li Qin played with the Mountain and River Pearl Fan, he said: "In my eyes, King Chu is not as good as Gu Xiangyan with a strand of hair."

Ah Fu smiled happily when he heard this, "I knew that my son is the best, you must be inseparable from our lord."

Li Qin thought to himself, how could the king of Chu be fat, big ears, and greasy all over, compared to the overwhelmed Gu Xiangyan.Thinking of Gu Xiangyan, the suffering he had suffered before suddenly became gratifying.

From then on, those who came to visit Li Qin almost broke through the threshold of Gu's residence.

As soon as it got dark, Gu Xiangyan invited people out of the house, which made people slander and slander Gu Xiangyan in front of the King of Chu.

Li Qin said: "Why do you want people to think that you are unreasonable?"

Gu Xiangyan took the brocade quilt and covered the two of them. He kissed Li Qin's cheek and said, "Sometimes I wonder whether it is the fate of the Chu Kingdom to perish."

Li Qin never expected to hear these words from Gu Xiangyan's mouth.

Didn't he always love the people like a son, self-denial and serve the public?

"Why do you think that way?" Li Qin rested his head on one hand and looked at Gu Xiangyan quietly.

"That thunder made me see the essence of the matter."

Gu Xiangyan used to smile from time to time, but now, when it comes to the matter of Chu State, there is only an indifference in his eyes.

Li Qin thought to himself, Gu Xiangyan is the only one who really cares about Chu now, maybe because of the last rescue incident outside the city, Gu Xiangyan saw that corrupt officials are in power, the country is like a moth-eaten, the foundation has been destroyed, and medicine is useless.

"Go to sleep." Gu Xiangyan didn't want to mention it, his facial features were like white jade, he reached out his hand to Li Qin, motioning Li Qin to sleep.

Li Qin's eyes were full of smiles, he threw himself on Gu Xiangyan, and licked the corner of his mouth, "Since I was injured, how long has it been since I didn't do that?"

Gu Xiangyan tightened his arms almost instantly, and he leaned close to Li Qin's ear, his voice was mellow, as if he was enduring something, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's because you've just recovered from your injury, I don't want to hurt you again..."

Before finishing the rest of the sentence, Li Qin directly kissed Gu Xiangyan's lips.
