Although the beauty is in my arms... well, I am in the beauty of the beauty,

    and I have not completely fallen asleep. I am afraid that I will not see her

    when I wake up, and I suspect that this is just a fantasy created by my

    longing and thinking; therefore, I am different. When the change was about to

    happen, I vaguely felt wrong."Jiang Zhuo, do you think... it''s too quiet outside?" I tugged at the corner

    of her clothes, I turned to my side, and changed to lying on my back, but

    still reluctant to leave her legs—— Staying for a while is a while, I don''t

    know if I have a chance in the future!"Well, although it''s not a avenue, it''s too quiet..." She frowned and patted

    me on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness, you get up first.""Don''t... Well, the king is still a little dizzy, yes, dizzy..." Seeing that

    she meant to go out to inquire, I didn''t want her to take the risk, her brain

    was hot, and she hugged the rogue to the end. She refused to let it go, "Don''t

    go anywhere, just stay in the carriage..."But before I finished speaking, I heard an angry shout from the guards outside

    the carriage: "Who? Protect Your Highness!"The captain of the guard assigned by Yan Ke hurriedly knocked on the wall of

    the car, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, our team is surrounded

    by a group of masked men in black. The opponent is the same number as us, so

    it is not suitable to fight for a long time; Your subordinates will arrange

    for some people to cover your Highness''s breakthrough, please take care of

    yourself.""What? Breaking through?" I was stunned, and it took a while to realize that

    the team had encountered an unknown ambush—according to what the captain of

    the guard meant, he was actually trying to hold the enemy behind me, okay.

    Teach me to escape first?And hearing her say this, Jiang Zhuo''s face turned straight, but he didn''t

    rush out.I saw that she carefully lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at the

    situation outside intently, then knocked on the wall of the car, and shouted

    to the driving guard: "Go now!"As the wheels swiftly rolled up, I heard the screams of soldiers intersecting

    outside the carriage filling the land, and occasionally heard the sound of

    sharp blades cutting flesh and the dull, suppressed cry of pain, some from my

    guards, There are also those from those in black.Shrunk in Jiang Zhuo’s arms, I carefully distinguished every sound that taught

    people to numb the scalp. I wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going

    on, but cowardly didn’t dare to move. I struggled, hesitated, and at the same

    time. Spit on his own powerlessness.—— Needless to say, the purpose of this group of people in black is naturally

    me, and the guards who rush to fight outside are responsible for the mission

    of protecting me; in fact, they don''t have to do this.Just hand me over.It’s a good deal for me to exchange so many people alone, isn’t it?But I knew in my heart that it was the same thing. If I really wanted to do

    this, I was still shy away from it.Whether the current King Ling is the infamous Kuang Xihan or Jian Xin who once

    held the bottom line of principle, I will not stand out stupidly, stop

    everyone, and then let the other party kill...I won''t.Because I am afraid, because I can''t be so selfless—for me, my life is the

    most important thing.With apology and guilt, I acquiesced to Jiang Zhuo''s arrangement with the

    captain of the guards, and half of the guards desperately cut a gap and fled

    in a carriage.The carriage was very bumpy, and it was very different from the smooth ride

    before. I bumped into Jiang Zhuo''s arms from time to time, but I no longer had

    the original charm.Galloping for about half an hour, I felt a little churning in my stomach, and

    my head began to dizzy.At this time, the speed of the carriage finally slowed down, and a strange

    female voice shouted through the carriage: "Your Highness, it''s going to rain

    soon!"——It''s really a leak in the house that even rains in the night.Her voice just fell, as if to respond to her, there was a loud "bang", and the

    thunder was so shocking that the horse pulling the cart panicked and almost

    overturned the cart.If it weren’t for Jiang Zhuo’s eyes and swift hands to hold me, I’m afraid

    that my head will come into close contact with the hard wall of the car. I

    don’t want to thank her, I lifted the curtain of the car, and said to the

    temporarily leading guard at my throat. : "Is there a place to shelter from

    the rain near here?"The road is slippery on rainy days and it is not suitable for us to hurry.

    Besides, we were ambushed. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to

    rest and make plans.Fortunately, the guard nodded, pointing in a certain direction, and said, "The

    guard of Pathfinder found a ruined temple three miles away, so I can barely

    take a break after tidying up."——It turned out to be a ruined temple with a 99% probability of accident in

    the legend.A joking thought suddenly flashed through my mind. The situation forced me to

    lose my joking mood. I was afraid that the ruined temple three miles away was

    our only choice."Then go to the ruined temple and let''s go." After encouraging the guard a few

    words, I lowered the curtain of the car, and my expression became serious."His Royal Highness is worried?" Jiang Zhuo asked faintly, his face was as

    calm as usual, and taught me to relax a bit."Jiang Zhuo, will you protect me?" Listening to the sound of the rain falling

    on the roof of the car, I stared into her eyes and couldn''t help asking."Yeah." She answered very softly, almost using breath sounds, but I heard it

    very clearly, as if she had directly engraved the answer in my heart-and I

    would not ignore her as well. After answering, the eyes drooping quickly and

    the reddish cheeks.If it wasn''t for the wrong time, I would really like to kiss her on the face,

    even if it was a slap in the face, I was willing to do it.The rain is getting heavier, and I can already feel the rain stars floating in

    the curtain of the car and the unstoppable chill; finally, when the rain

    curtain continued to sky, our group rushed to the only bunker nearby-the one

    that was made simple Described as a ruined temple decorated and beautified.After several hardships, the guards used the hay in the temple and the

    dilapidated tents to raise a fire, but I was surrounded by sitting on the

    upper wind closest to the fire, silently watching the guards take off

    carelessly. Wrung out their soaked clothes and socks-deliberately told them to

    be closer to the fire, and then swallowed it back.Although everyone is a woman, but they are not familiar after all, is it

    really good to be honest and relatively frank like this?No matter how long it has been, I still can''t adapt to the heroism of the Dawu

    woman.And \- quietly glanced at Jiang Zhuo, who was concentrating on cooking on the

    fire. Seeing her looking over at her, I immediately lowered my head and

    pretended to stir up the fire, and my heart was beating \- I had already

    decided in my heart. Feeling moved with Jiang Zhuo, he consciously should keep

    a distance from everyone, not to mention staring at someone to change clothes,

    just look at it more, it shouldn’t be... This consciousness treats Jiang Zhuo

    equally and has nothing to do with it. men and women.The hot water boiled, and the "gudugudu" bubbled, and there were some foamed

    dried mushrooms, which Yan Ke specially prepared for me during the trip; but

    most of the luggage was in another carriage. There are only so many edible

    foods left.I took the wooden bowl Jiang Zhuo handed me and took a small taste. Although

    it is not as good as the superb craftsmanship of the royal chef, it is not so

    delicious and wild. The hot soup flows from the throat to the stomach, and the

    whole body is warmed up. .Holding a wooden bowl and covering my hands, I sipped the hot soup and counted

    the number of people-there were probably a hundred escorts with the guards by

    the carriage when I came out. I experienced the breakthrough just now, plus

    the scouts and scouts who went out to explore the road. In this small ruined

    temple, only a group of more than 30 people were left in this small ruined

    temple. More than half of them had wounds of varying degrees, and even the

    smell of food could not cover up the wounds. The smell of blood.When I thought that the wounds of these people and the embarrassment at the

    moment were all because of me, I suddenly lost my appetite.The heavy rain continued, and the sky was almost dark. Under the warm fire

    light, the firm faces of the guards were stained with a touch of fatigue, and

    the shame in my heart became even heavier.I simply washed it, and lay on the thick bedding Jiang Zhuo had laid for me,

    curled up and closed my eyes, but it was hard to fall asleep; it’s not that

    the place is too hard, nor that it’s too cold this day, it’s just in my heart.

    Unable to calm down-every time I close my eyes, the scene of those guards

    falling in a pool of blood emerges. Those young and unwilling eyes seem to be

    staring at me all the time.The fire light became faint again. I couldn''t help moving towards the heat

    source, but suddenly an arm crossed my waist and pulled me in the opposite

    direction. Jiang Zhuo''s indifferent voice with a hint of nervousness sounded

    in my ears. :"Be careful!"I was so scared that I immediately opened my eyes, and saw her lying beside me

    with a cold face, with one hand close to my waist and one hand to my ear,

    almost pressing my whole body under my body; her heartbeat stopped abruptly.

    One shot, I quickly turned my head to avoid her stare, and saw that the fire

    was less than one arm away from me. If she hadn''t pulled me in time, I was

    afraid that my face would have been licked by the tongue of fire. It''s been.After being afraid, I didn’t care about being ashamed, and quickly nudged in

    her direction, and simply withdrew into her arms-I only felt that she was

    stiff at first, and then I sighed helplessly, confessing my fate. So I use her

    as a pillow to keep warm.With Jiang Zhuo by her side, she slept very sweetly while her heart was at

    ease.If it were not for the intermittent sound of rain, other movements would be

    particularly obvious, and the body holding me would suddenly tighten, and I

    would not be awakened suddenly.After the clouds were sold and rained, the night sky was as clear as a mirror,

    and the cold moonlight covered the ruined little temple with a layer of veil,

    which also added a bit of romance; but even in this way, poets were also

    impressed by the quiet beauty of the night. There are still people cruelly

    sabotaging.The group of people led by the captain of the guard did not catch up. It was

    probably horrible. The ruined temple taught a group of people in black to

    surround it. Compared with the panic and panic earlier, I was not so scared,

    and I still watched leisurely. Look at it-this look, really found a clue.These people in black wear the most common coarse cloth shorts, which are

    clean and easy to move. The weapons they use are also the most common private

    ritual knives. Even the general rivers and lakes are equipped with more, only

    one point-the ritual knife. The knife blade is not an ordinary oval, slightly

    slender and flat.And I clearly remember that when I was surrounded for the first time, I saw

    with a glimpse that the knives in the hands of the people in black were round

    without edges.Could it be that these two groups of men in black... are not the same power?It seems that there are so many people who want Kuang Xihan to die.
