Zhuo Qian led the way for them.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng were holding hands and walking behind. Before they reached there, they heard the sound of weapons clashing coming from the front.

Mingjin knew that Brother Ying was good at martial arts, but he also knew that Qingxin's martial arts was the strongest among Wu Ji and the other two, so he couldn't help but worry that something might happen to Brother Ying.

Gu Mingheng saw her worried face and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, they are just sparring, nothing will happen."

Ming Jin nodded softly and felt relieved.

The two continued to walk forward. Yingge and Qingxin were competing in a training ground. There were quite a few people gathered below. Wu Ji even shouted and started a gambling game. It was very lively both above and below.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng did not go.

Firstly, there were a lot of people there, and Gu Mingheng was afraid of disturbing Mingjin. Secondly, Mingjin was also afraid of disturbing their interest.

Neither of them asked Zhuo Qian to serve them.

Gu Mingheng told Zhuo Qian to go back and tell Eunuch An that they would have dinner at the waterside pavilion tonight.

Naturally, Zhuo Qian had no choice but to respond.

After hearing the instructions, he bowed and withdrew, going to pass on the message to Eunuch An.

Ming Jin and Gu Mingheng stood under a tree, watching the competition between the two people in the martial arts field.

On martial arts.

Brother Ying is naturally no match for Qing Xin.

Qing Xin learned several martial arts from the most powerful masters and is the most skilled guard around Gu Mingheng.

But Brother Ying is a wild person.

She was originally a killer, and all her martial arts were for the purpose of taking lives. Even though she didn't win for so long, she didn't lose either.

One of them used a sword, and the other used a knife, and they were fighting fiercely.

Mingjin also gradually became excited from his initial worry.

The impact and excitement brought by the visual of two people with great martial arts skills competing against each other is indescribable.

Ming Jin felt that he was overwhelmed and dazzled by what he saw.

She stared straight ahead without blinking, and several times she silently clenched her fists because of the situation above, silently cheering for Brother Ying.

Gu Mingheng didn't look ahead.

He was looking at Ming Jin, and seeing the changes in the expression on Ming Jin's face and the encouragement he murmured several times, he couldn't help but laugh.

The wind is a bit strong.

The sky gradually darkened.

Gu Mingheng frowned slightly. He called a servant and whispered to him to go back to the room and get a cloak.

Wu Ji noticed the movement behind him.

Seeing the prince and princess standing in the back, you can tell that they don’t want to disturb the battle here, nor do they want anyone to know they are here.

He was not affected by the brothers around him who were still watching excitedly, and the pair who were fighting fiercely on the stage.

He walked over by himself.

He smiled and greeted the two of them: "Prince, Princess."

As he spoke, he also saw the two people holding hands. Suddenly, his eyes became brighter and the smile on his face became deeper.

The relationship between the prince and the princess is so wonderful!

Gu Mingheng saw it and glanced at him as a warning, asking him to be more careful.

Mingjin didn't notice it.

At the moment, she was concentrating entirely on the competition ahead, so naturally she didn't notice Wu Ji's gaze.

Hearing this, she just nodded, called out "Guard Wu", and then continued to look ahead with her full attention.

Wu Ji was the most talkative among the three. Seeing their princess's expression, he smiled and said, "If the princess wants to know who won, she can actually ask the prince."

"what?"

When Ming Jin heard this, he looked away in surprise.

She first glanced at Wu Ji and said in surprise: "We can know who will win and who will lose now? Isn't the game over yet?"

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Mingheng beside her.

Although he didn't ask any questions, there was no hiding the confusion in his eyes. It was obvious that he was asking Gu Mingheng for an answer.

Gu Mingheng kept looking down at her.

Mingjin had a few strands of hair messed up by the wind, so Gu Mingheng reached out and tucked the messed hair behind her ears. Then he met Mingjin's gaze and asked her softly, "Want to know?"

Mingjin nodded without hesitation.

Wu Ji stopped talking at this time, and stayed quietly and honestly beside him.

Gu Mingheng did not hide it either.

While holding Mingjin's hand, he watched the game in front of him and explained things to her in simple and understandable terms.

"Brother Ying is a wild man and good at close combat, but Qingxin is a solid martial artist. It won't be easy for Brother Ying to defeat him."

Mingjin heard him say this.

I'm not surprised to know that Brother Ying's martial arts are not as good as Qing Xin's.

After all, Qing Xin is the most powerful guard under Gu Mingheng. I don't know how many people he learned from. It is normal that Brother Ying cannot compare to him.

"but--"

Ming Jin suddenly heard these two words again, and he repeated in surprise, "But?"

Could there be some unexpected twists and turns?

She was a little curious.

Gu Mingheng looked at her and said, "In the martial arts arena, Brother Ying may not be better than Qing Xin, but in a real fight, Brother Ying may not lose."

"Why is this?" Ming Jin was puzzled.

Gu Mingheng explained to her: "Brother Ying was born as a killer. In addition to close combat, he is also best at assassination."

At this time, Wu Ji also said casually: "Miss Ying is also very honest. In fact, during the competition just now, she didn't say that you can't use hidden weapons."

"Given the current situation, the two are so close to each other. If they use hidden weapons, Qing Xin will definitely lose."

As he said this, he still felt a little regretful because he had bet on Brother Ying to win.

After hearing the two people's explanation, Ming Jin finally understood and looked back at the stage.

"In fact, Yingge's endurance is better than Qingxin's. If the time is prolonged, Qingxin may not win." Gu Mingheng's voice came to his ears again.

Mingjin looked ahead.

Indeed, although Ying Ge was already out of breath at this time, such fatigue and exhaustion not only did not defeat her, but instead stimulated her even more.

Under the gradually darkening sky, her eyes were very bright.

Like a wolf.

This is probably related to Yingge's background.

Although I have never heard Brother Ying mention her past after being together for such a long time, judging from the fact that she is always on guard, I guess her past must not have been a good one.

This is also normal.

She used to be the best knife around the Gaotai tribe leader.

To become the best sword for the Gaotai tribe leader, one must have fought among countless people.

She is still a woman.

The hardships and sufferings endured are probably not something that ordinary people can endure.

Mingjin suddenly thought of his past.

If she hadn't run into Man Niang in Xiu Li Building, how could she have possibly fought off those people with just the scars on her neck?

Xiu Liou has countless ways of dealing with women.

Even the most fierce-willed woman would be taught to be well-behaved and obedient when she gets there.

I'm afraid she can't resist it.

The result is either being tamed and becoming obedient, or committing suicide.

Gu Mingheng suddenly held her hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, Ming Jin gradually came back to her senses from those bad thoughts. She turned around and looked at Gu Mingheng beside her.

Her eyes were blurry at first.

It was not until Ming Jin saw the worry hidden in Gu Mingheng's star-like eyes that his thoughts and eyes suddenly became clear.

The little bit of fear in her heart that she had felt in the past also gradually dissipated.

All the dark shadows of the past were covered up and replaced by the man in front of me.

"Don't be afraid. I'm fine."

She looked at Gu Mingheng, pursed her lips again, and comforted him.

The hand that Gu Mingheng was holding tightly also gently shook his back.

Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin.

At this moment, he said nothing.

He just held the person tightly in his arms, ignoring the presence of Wu Ji, and buried his face in Ming Jin's head.

It is clearly a protective posture, but Gu Mingheng looks more like a dog that relies on the people around him.

It looks mighty, yet extremely weak.

Ming Jin didn't say anything at this time.

She felt Gu Mingheng's sadness, and she knew that every time she recalled the past, she was actually torturing Gu Mingheng's soul.

If she was in pain, Gu Mingheng would only be more painful and more self-blaming than her.

So even though she was outside and even though Wu Ji was by her side, Ming Jin did not struggle. She let Gu Mingheng hold her tightly.

While she patted Gu Mingheng's arm to soothe his trembling soul, she winked at Wu Ji and asked him to go first.

Wu Ji immediately bowed and took his leave.

After walking away, he couldn't help but turn back quietly and glance behind him.

If one had not seen it with one's own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that someone as tall and mighty as their prince could have such a fragile side.

Although the prince had been deeply trapped in the past for so many years, unable to extricate himself, and his mood was sometimes bad, he never showed this in front of them.

In front of them, he is always as majestic as a mountain, and he will always be the invincible King of Chang'an.

Wu Ji looked behind him.

The tall man, at this moment, seems so weak and pitiful.

And that woman who looked so fragile seemed to have the bravest and strongest soul in the world.

The passage of time is just a drop in the ocean.

No matter how time and space change, they always stay together.

do not know why.

Looking at this scene, Wu Ji suddenly felt like crying.

He held back his tears and looked away, but his heart was full and even his steps became much lighter.

He knew that their prince would never have nightmares again.

He smiled and walked to the front.

Mixed back into the crowd.

He acted as if nothing had happened, and followed his brothers beside him, cheering loudly forward.

The brothers around him asked him what he was doing.

He just smiled and said he didn't do anything.

In the end, Qing Xin still won.

Wu Ji turned around and found that the prince and princess who were originally standing behind him had left without him noticing.
