midnight out of control

Quan, will go together, when the king and the prince will condolence and resettle the refugees to ensure the smooth resolution of the matter.

As the captain of the personal guard, Curtis was assigned to lead the team and protect the safety of the two.In fact, Curtis just needs to make sure that Jack is not threatened.

Everything went as smoothly as a knife cut butter, as Jack planned. A month later, the prince and the king boarded the plane, and Curtis led the bodyguards and pro-guards to follow and headed to the border.

They finally arrived in the evening and the plane landed on the runway.The border is cold, the oxygen is thin, the snow has not completely melted, and there are few people here. The huge sunset reflects the blood red sky, and the wind blows in the air. In the cold wind, there are only a few pine trees standing tall and scattered in the distance. A few small houses—that's where most of the refugees from the Snowpiercer lived.Only a small number of extremely lucky people can go to the capital like Curtis, while more people are the truth that is covered up and can only spend the rest of their lives in frontier huts.

The rails that were previously built to support the operation of the Snowpiercer train have not been dismantled, but they are no longer in use. Due to the humid air, there is a layer of rust. The rust looks like the scales of some kind of animal. The railroad track crawled on the ground like a dead snake, and it looked even more desolate under the bloody sunset.

Jack and Curtis avoided the crowd and walked back and forth along the railroad track to a place a little farther away. The two were in complicated moods, and neither of them spoke.Jack intentionally concealed his relationship with Liz, but was still discovered by Curtis. Although Curtis didn't complain, he didn't dare to look into Curtis's eyes. Burning him made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.What he did was ruining Curtis's feelings. He couldn't bear it, but he had to calm down and tell himself that these were nothing compared to the throne.

Curtis was wearing a black fleece cap on his head, which he wore on the day he was rescued from the train. He was reluctant to throw it away. He was moved by the scene, and recalled the first half of his life spent on the train. His friends and brothers all Died of this man-made disaster, he hated what the king had done even more than he grieved.After losing his family, he has been confused. He doesn't know why he lives, and he doesn't know where he is going.

However, on the day he met Jack, everything was different, and he seemed to have a heart from then on.

The tall pine trees beside the railway tracks were covered with thick white snow, which rose from the ground like clouds. They walked farther and farther, and they had reached a pine forest. In a safe and secret space, they have walked on the snow for too long, and the snow on their black boots has already melted, like boiling tears.Jack finally stopped. He leaned against a pine tree, his heart was so entangled, he took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to Curtis.

Curtis lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and frowned in thought. The smoke intertwined with the white air exhaled by the two, revealing a chaotic and ambiguous atmosphere.

Distraught, Jack took out the cigarette from Curtis's mouth, and took a puff where Curtis had smoked. This was Curtis's smell, which sliced ​​through his chest like a cold dagger, irritating his eye sockets. Fat up.In his heart, he wanted the smell to last for a while, but he threw the leftover cigarette butt in the snow without hesitation, turned around and left.

Curtis hugged him from behind. In the icy and snowy world, only the place where the two of them touched was warm. Suddenly, there was a fulcrum in the vast journey of life, like the dancing flame in the old fireplace. Jack was a little bit reluctant to bear this Embrace, let Curtis hold her.

There are very few tender moments like this. Jack has never really followed his heart to like someone. The appearance of Curtis made him find himself, but he became less and less like a prince.This feeling of being out of control is uncomfortable, and Jack tries to restrain himself, trying to get everything back on track.

"Do you still remember the first time we met?" Curtis lowered his head, Jack's ears were a little red from the cold, and he kissed Jack's ears fascinatedly, "I wanted to do this the first time I saw you .”

"At that time, your eyes were red and there was blood on your face. You looked like a wild dog that had just eaten a dead man." Jack leaned himself completely towards Curtis, and Curtis held him in a warm and thick embrace , making him feel as if he was indestructible.

"It used to be a wolf..." Curtis pulled the hem of Jack's clothes away, and eagerly moved up his waistline, "Now it's a dog, your own dog."

Jack stopped his hand, he couldn't fall like this anymore, reason tightened Jack's nerves like a steel wire, "Don't touch."

"The dog wants some bones." Curtis's eyes seemed to want to eat him alive, but he stopped obediently.

"Are you hungry?" Jack asked him.

"It's very hungry here," Curtis pointed to his chest, "There seems to be a hole that can't be filled, can you give the dog some bones?" He looked at Jack eagerly, but didn't do anything else, he couldn't wait At Jack's command, he will not move.

The two confronted each other for a while, looking at Curtis' expectant eyes, unable to say the words of refusal anyway, Jack finally lost the battle and kissed the corner of Curtis's mouth lightly.

This was already the most "bones" that Jack could give, and Curtis was satisfied, puffing out his tongue, wagging his tail and obediently lying at Jack's feet, listening to him carefully.

"Tomorrow's actions may go wrong, I don't worry about Uncle Wang." Uncle Wang's ambition is too big, Jack faintly sensed it, and was quite uneasy, but a done deal, the plan can no longer be changed.

"I am here."

"In any case, you have to make sure that father doesn't die on the spot."

"I only keep you safe."

Jack froze for a moment, raised his hand and patted Curtis, "I'll be fine."

Curtis looked deeply into his eyes, and Jack dodged his eyes.Curtis hugged him again, like a silent huge beast.In fact, Curtis would prefer that things be simpler and rougher. It would be great if the king could die directly.

plan

Thirty-six hours later, Jack was sitting on the return flight, in a state of embarrassment, his left arm was heavily wrapped in gauze, and he was still in pain.The dizziness from blood loss and weightlessness hit his brain.

24 hours ago, the meeting started. The king was shot during his speech and was shot in the chest in the dark. The killer immediately fired a second shot to ensure that the king died on the spot.Jack was standing next to the king at that time, before he had time to think about it, he rushed out to block the second fatal shot for the king, and he retreated in embarrassment from the impact of the bullet and fell to the ground.There was an uproar, and everyone rushed to help the king, surrounded him and protected him in the center.Seeing that he could no longer sneak attack on the king, the killer aimed his gun at Jack. Curtis in the audience had already been prepared and sensed something was wrong. At the critical moment, he rushed up to the stage to protect Jack, shot violently backhand, and was ready again. And ruthless, the killer was killed on the spot by sharp bullets, and the killer fell from the second floor. Curtis shot a few times aggressively, smashing the killer into a sieve.Then he held a gun in one hand and put his arm around the prince, escorting him to quickly evacuate the scene.

Everything happened so fast that no one had time to react, and the situation changed in an instant.The prince had two hearts and did not fulfill his promise, but directly wanted to send the king back to the west and replace him.He even wanted to kill Jack to silence him when he couldn't do it, which Jack never thought of.The bullet that was blocked by the king scraped Jack's arm and flew out, leaving a shocking penetrating wound, and half of Jack's clothes were stained red with blood.

The king was shot in the chest and was rushed to the hospital, where his life and death were uncertain.Under the escort of Curtis, Jack bandaged the wound. The scene of the incident had been sealed off, and the king's personal guards were standing outside, and the killer's body remained where it was.The situation was chaotic, and everyone was waiting for orders. Jack pulled himself together and assigned Curtis to lead the guards to investigate the scene, pay attention to the king's situation, and stayed up all night.

An hour ago, Jack received a call from the queen.The border is remote, and the news of the king's attack is tightly sealed, but the queen still knows about it, and she orders Jack to return quickly, and come back to seize control of the court before the king wakes up.

And now, Jack didn't even have time to say goodbye to Curtis, so he hurried back on his way.Uncle Wang went beyond his control and made things even more troublesome. Jack not only had to face Uncle Wang's sneak attack in the dark, but also had to brace himself to deal with powerful officials and the royal family. In addition, the life and death of the king also affected Jack's life. Heart, Jack doesn't want the king to die, but he doesn't want the king to live either.

The queen sat gracefully in the hall, and the maid served fruit snacks one after another. The queen casually picked up the teacup. Although she was old, she was pampered and well maintained. There was no trace of age on her face. Jack's beauty was mostly inherited from her.Her fingers are slender and slender, which makes the diamond ring on her fingers even bigger.There was so much power, desire, and wealth condensed on that diamond ring that it was almost too heavy to bend her finger.Sitting on the sofa next to her is Jack's new "girlfriend", Liz, the daughter of the cabinet minister. Liz is usually proud and domineering, but she is nervous and a little guilty when facing the queen. She carefully handed a small cake to the queen, not moving. He sensually flattered this future "mother-in-law".

The queen took her cake. Her husband's life and death were uncertain at the border, and her son was injured and came back to seize the throne. She understood her husband's grudges over the years.
