Fingers of crossing

The wind was howling, and when Jiang Ning woke up drunk, the surroundings were pitch black, and her brain was in pain.

In a drowsy state, the body on the horse kept bumping, and she realized that she was leaning softly in a warm embrace. Jiang Ningzui's consciousness suddenly came to her senses. She looked back and saw the person behind her wearing a Dressed in plain white, with delicate and picturesque eyebrows, even in the dark night, his appearance is still profound and clear.

"Chi Wei."

Barely propped up, Jiang Ningzui let the strong wind blow her clothes and long hair, she narrowed her eyes slightly in the ink-like night, and looked around.

She remembered the last moment before unconsciousness, she was still by Yan Yilan's side, they were so close, she could even smell the blood on Yan Yilan's body, they were surrounded by assassins, all of them showed ferocious faces , with a desperate killing intent in his eyes, and then what?

Why is it that only she and Chi Wei are left running away at night, and Yan Yilan?

The fierce horse is galloping against the wind, like a sharp ax that splits the night, the cold wind is like a sharp blade, blowing on the face like a skin-cut, Jiang Ningzui's heart heaves and aches with the undulating horse, "Why are you here, her?" she asked.

"When the two of you went to Qionghua Forest to meet us before, I had an agreement with the eldest princess to protect your safety during the time outside the palace." Chi Wei whipped his horse, facing Jiang Ningzui's For the question, she only chose the most suitable question to answer.

As for Yan Yilan's situation, she didn't dare to make rash judgments, and she didn't dare to answer Jiang Ningzui rashly.Facing Jiang Ningzui, if it was a pure lie to deceive, then she would definitely be able to detect it immediately.

Perhaps the wind blowing head-on was too violent, and Jiang Ningzui's eyes were dry and painful. She slowly closed her eyes, stretched out slightly trembling hands to hold Chi Weihu's arms on both sides of her, and said calmly: "Chi Wei, tell me the truth."

Jiang Ningzui's calm tone sounded full of flaws at this moment, and her usual calm voice was shot down to pieces by unknown emotions. As she spoke, she held Chi Wei's hand a little harder. "What about her?"

"All I can say is that the situation is not too optimistic."

When Chi Wei followed their whereabouts and came to the mountain, the whole mountain was already ambushed and surrounded by assassins. The enemy's goal was very clear from the beginning. They only wanted Yan Yilan's life, so they chased Bi Yuan and Qing Qing on the mountainside. After seeing Fu's carriage, they immediately abandoned the carriage and continued back up the mountain.Chi Wei was escorted by a group of hidden guards to the depths of the woods. At that time, Yan Yilan had just repelled a wave of ambushing killers. Her plain clothes glistened with scarlet blood under the moonlight, matching her complexion. It was pale, and although the situation had been brought under control for the time being, no one could say for sure how many assassins were hiding on this mountain.

"Take her away."

Handing Jiang Ningzui in her arms to Chi Wei's hands, Yan Yilan gently stretched out her hand to brush away Jiang Ningzui's thin hair scattered on the side of her face, a soft expression flashed across her brows and eyes. "It's not safe here, you guys leave immediately."

Holding the unconscious Jiang Ningzui tightly in his arms, Chi Wei looked down at Yan Yilan and asked in a low voice, "What about you?"

"Naturally, I have to stay and deal with the aftermath." Yan Yilan smiled casually, lightly stroked Jiang Ningzui's cheek with her fingertips, and said, "Don't worry, I won't die." This is my promise to her .

Thinking of Yan Yilan's last open-minded and bright smile, Chi Wei's heart froze slightly, she recovered, looked at Jiang Ningzui in front of her, and said: "But I believe that the eldest princess will not die so easily of."

The word death, like a ruthless hand, cruelly plucked the tight string in Jiang Ningzui's heart, the blood on her face disappeared instantly, and she was as pale as paper. "Put me down."

"No." Chi Wei waved his whip and walked more hastily, his voice could not be reversed, "Don't say that I promised her that she would protect you well, even if I let you go back now, with you and me, it is impossible to break out of the tight encirclement."

"I know." Jiang Ningzui said in a deep voice, "I don't intend to go back to her, but since this is what she wants to do, I want to prevent future troubles for her."

Hearing that Jiang Ningzui had something to say, Chi Wei was noncommittal, and she asked, "What do you want to do?"

"If I remember correctly, the location of that mountain is still within the sphere of influence of King Minnan. It is impossible for King Minnan to be unaware of such a big incident. I want to know, if he knows about it, What will be the reaction?" Jiang Ningzui said, her eyes were as clear as a mirror, revealing a sharp coldness. "There is also King Wu, the eldest princess met an assassin outside the palace, life and death are unpredictable, what should he do?"

Jiang Ningzui's few words brought out a meaning as strong as stained with blood. It seemed that just by her few words, Chi Wei could smell the conspiracy and ambition in them.

Chi Wei said: "According to what you said, whose idea do you think this matter should be?"

"The King of Jiangshan is such a big piece of soup, how can one person finish it, and how can he have the ability to take it?" Jiang Ningzui said, smiling slightly, "But if two people work together, it's just right. .”

King Minnan relied on his meritorious service in helping Yan Yilan ascend the throne. He has always covered the sky with one hand in the capital, and committed many vicious acts of seeking people's fat and anointing. The evil deeds of Minnan King.Now that King Wu stayed in the capital for a long time, it was supposed to be the most sensitive and special time, but Yan Yilan wanted to bring up the old matter again, and put the matter of King Minnan on the table to make a big fuss. Offending King Minnan at this time, this is really considered It must not be a wise move, let alone something that Yan Yilan, who has always planned strategies, would do.

And since she did this, there must be her reasons.And this reason, until this moment, Jiang Ningzui finally understood.

These years, the king of Wu has always been Yan Yilan's big worry. He has been coveting the throne so far, and has secretly recruited troops in Eastern Chu to continuously expand his strength. But after the incident with King Beiyang, he also clearly understood that if he wanted to Swallowing Dayan with his own strength alone seems to be a bit powerless.If he wanted to win the throne without the support of someone with deep-rooted influence in the capital, it would be nothing but a dream, and there was no better candidate for this person except King Minnan.

I'm afraid they have already secretly reached a consensus, thinking about how to share the face.

Chi Wei also vaguely guessed what Jiang Ningzui was thinking at this time, but she didn't immediately stop following Jiang Ningzui's words.

"I promised her that I will protect you and leave safely."

Jiang Ningzui didn't know what Yan Yilan was thinking, but with Jiang Shuying's lessons learned, she would never keep Jiang Ningzui by her side again, nor would she allow her to accompany her to danger.

She has already lost Jiang Shuying, so she cannot lose Jiang Ningzui again.She could no longer bear this kind of pain for a second time.

"Heh." Jiang Ningzui's heart hurt like a knife, she smiled softly, and asked: "Chi Wei, if it were you, would you stay or leave?"

The hand holding the rein suddenly paused, Chi Wei gave Jiang Ningzui a complicated look, and fell silent.

"When Liu Huanxue entered the palace, why didn't you listen to her and leave, but accompanied her into the palace?" Jiang Ningzui seemed to have thought of something, and looked back at Chi Wei, "You once said that we are the same kind. People, so you understand my feelings better than anyone else."

I'd rather stay by her side and fight for her to the last drop of blood, than leave at this time and live a careless life.

If I leave with you at this moment, then no matter how others look at me, in my heart, I will only look down on myself.How can I be worthy of her deep love like this, and how can I be worthy of her love?

Jiang Ningzui didn't say what was in her heart, but Chi Wei could understand it.Because she also made the same choice as Jiang Ningzui back then, she fully understands Jiang Ningzui's feelings.

Tightening the rein in his hand suddenly, the galloping horse gradually stopped at this moment. Chi Wei sighed behind Jiang Ningzui, his voice full of helplessness and playfulness. "The eldest princess has always been very thorough. I didn't expect that there would be a hundred secrets and one omission. At the beginning, she chose to let me protect your safety because you and I have a close relationship. I didn't expect this to be her biggest omission."

Feeling that the horse under her had stopped, Jiang Ningzui turned her head to look at the vast night behind her, and said: "If you are not afraid that the eldest princess will punish you if she finds out the truth in the future, then please send me back to the general's mansion. "

"At this point, do I still have a choice?" Chi Wei pulled the rein and turned the horse's head, Mo Kenai said: "Since I will accompany you with my life, you can always tell me what you plan to do when you return to the General's Mansion ? In this way, even if I die in the future, I can die with more understanding."

Jiang Ningzui thought for a while and said, "Go to see King Wu."

King Wu?

Chi Wei was curious: "How can you be sure that King Wu will definitely go to the General's Mansion?"

Jiang Ning curled her lips drunkenly, her eyes were full of coldness, "Because there is an answer that King Wu has not yet obtained. And this answer, like the eldest princess, he has been waiting for four years."

In the general's mansion.

The moonlight was as bright as silver, solidified into a pale white on the ground.

Jiang Ningzui retreated from Zhen's room door, she looked up at the bright moon above her head, and remained silent.

Turning around and walking back to her bedroom, Jiang Ningzui closed the door, and all the moonlight that came in was shut out of the door. She didn't light the lamp, and walked into the inner room in the dark according to her memory. , she looked down at the dried brown blood on the cuff of her shirt, half worried and half empty in her heart.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she could still recall the scene at that time. They were fleeing everywhere, and the blood was constantly pouring from Yan Yilan's body. She seemed to be able to smell the bloody smell from her nose. think.

Changing into clean clothes again, Jiang Ningzui walked to the side of the bed, put on her clothes and fell asleep.

In the dead of night, every little wind and grass could be heard clearly. When the sound of small footsteps came to her bedside, Jiang Ningzui still kept the sleeping position in the first place, until a hand touched her. cheek.

It was as cold as iron, and it seemed that if it went any further, it would cut her throat.
