Lock Xin

A ray of sunlight reflects on the closed window sash and casts a bright spot, and the breeze blowing by seems to have a hint of warmth.Zi Xin stood by the door, her waist straight, her fingertips tightly holding the sword hilt, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely serious, but there was a hint of tenderness in her bright eyes.

The guard standing on the side was tall, with a handsome face, very beautiful blue eyes, and a faint layer of blue beard on his chin, showing a hint of heroism.He turned around and looked around. There was no one passing by in the empty corridor. He walked forward a few steps and stood beside Zixin.

"Chen Lang." The guard looked at Zi Xin who was looking ahead, and called out.

Zi Xin froze for a moment, then slowly realized that the person beside him was calling him.He turned slightly to face the guard.

"You don't remember who I am, do you?" The guard secretly sighed at Zixin's good memory. He had worked with him many times and even chatted with him in his free time, but he still forgot who he was.

"Of course I remember," Zi Xin chuckled, he just couldn't get used to this strange name, "I was just distracted just now."

"The guards are not allowed to be distracted when they are on guard. Fortunately, I woke you up in time just now. If the master looked at your eyes in a daze, he would have punished you." The guard didn't know what Zixin thought, The corners of the mouth curled up slightly, and the ordinary face was a little bit charming. Sure enough, the Central Plains people were much more refined and handsome than the Huns.

"Then I would like to thank you." Zixin put down her slender knuckles and relaxed her body a little. If Yeluning saw his slightly obsessed expression, she would definitely put her arms around his thin waist and wake him up with a warm voice. he.

"The shift will change tomorrow. We can have a free day. Why don't we go to the market together." There was a hint of joy in the guard's eyes. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"You are a big man who likes to go to the market like a woman." Zi Xin couldn't help smiling when she saw the excitement on the guard's face.

"So what, I have been staying in the palace to guard, but I haven't been out of the imperial city for a long time." The guard looked slightly surprised at Zi Xin's calm expression, "Aren't you bored?" Maybe Zi Xin stayed in the palace. The time in the city is very short, and I still can't understand the boringness of his years.

"I can't go with you tomorrow." This is the first time Zi Xin was invited by someone, and he was a little embarrassed to refuse, but he wanted to stay in the palace tomorrow to accompany Chen'er well. For many days, he has stayed by Yeluning's side , and couldn't play with Chen'er for a few hours.

"Why, don't you want to stay bored in the imperial city all the time? If you wait until the next shift change, it will be more than half a year. Why should you waste this hard-won opportunity." The guard said a little puzzled.

The guard suddenly realized, and looked at Zi Xin with a somewhat ambiguous smile, "Which maid has won your heart, don't worry, I will never tell others." , the maids in the palace are all beautiful, no wonder Zixin is tempted.

"Don't talk nonsense, I really have something to do." Zi Xin said in a deep voice, if this matter got to Ye Luning's ears, Ye Luning would not let him off easily.

"It's very difficult to fall in love with a maid in the imperial city. Even if you survive these years, you may not be able to get together with the person you like. I advise you not to be too affectionate, or you will break your heart." The guard He raised his hand and patted Zixin's shoulder lightly. They were just chatting out of boredom to relieve boredom, and neither of them had ever been sincere.

The guard looked at Yeluning approaching from a distance, bent down and knelt down on one knee, "See my lord."

Yeluning glanced at Zi Xin coldly, his blue eyes were filled with coldness, and there was a hint of anger on his face.

Zi Xin hadn't heard Yeluning's voice for a long time, he faintly sensed a chill all over his body, slightly raised his head to look at Yeluning's handsome face, his heart sank, Yeluning got angry again, either because of the minister's note, or because of him He didn't stay in the study in the morning, but as a guard, he must have shifts.

Zixin stood up slowly, and slightly parted her lips.

"Did I wake you up?" Yeluning said sharply, his cold gaze didn't rest on Zi Xin, and turned to the distance.

Zi Xin leaned over and knelt on the ground, the guards on the side were a little bit bitter. Today, he touched the master's bad luck, and he will inevitably be punished. I am afraid that there is no hope of leaving the city tomorrow.

"Someone drag him down and stick him to death." Yeluning raised his hand to signal the guards behind him to step forward.

"My lord, this subordinate has not made any mistakes. I beg the Lord to spare this subordinate." The guard looked extremely terrified, and hurriedly bent over and kowtowed, his smooth forehead touched the cold ground, and there was a trace of blood stains, which was very bright under the sun .

Zi Xin frowned. Although Ye Luning had a violent and irritable temperament, he never disregarded human life, or because of some misunderstanding.

"You were bribed by the traitor to steal the secrets of the palace, what should you do?" Yeluning said seriously, looking coldly into the panicked eyes of the guards.

"This subordinate is wronged. This subordinate has never been loyal to the master." The guard hurriedly defended, his strong voice trembling a little.He has never even heard of treason, so how could he participate in it.

Zixin raised his hand and lightly tugged on the hem of La Yeluning's trousers, "The secret guards can search for evidence." Although Zixin rarely gets along with the people around him, he also understands his personality. A city that is too deep will never betray Yeluning.

"If there is no proof, how could I easily execute my subordinates." Yeluning turned to look at Zixin, and stepped back vigorously, "You are just a small guard, how dare you question my words."

"I don't dare. If I have been with him for many days, I can guarantee his loyalty with my life. I beg the Lord to look into this matter clearly." Zixin knelt on the ground and pleaded. He is not a cold-hearted person, so how can he? Watching the person who had saved him many times die tragically in front of him.

"Don't think that if I tolerate your recklessness again and again, I dare not hurt your life. If you are pleading for him, I will kill you with the stick." Yeluning said sharply, his blue eyes slightly abrupt.

Zi Xin put down his hand suddenly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, even though he knew that Yeluning loved him deeply and was not willing to let him suffer any harm, but hearing Yeluning's decisive words still made his heart ache.

"Don't say any more." The guard looked at Zi Xin and said softly. He offended the master and ended up being killed with a stick, but he was not willing to let the innocent Zi Xin die with him.The guard looked desperately at the icy ground. If there was an afterlife, he would never be a guard in the imperial city.

"My lord, you put him in prison first, and it won't be too late to make a decision after you find out the truth of the matter." Zi Xin raised her head, and put her fingertips into Yeluning's loose sleeves.

When Yeluning touched Zi Xin's warm skin, he threw away his arm suddenly, "It's not your turn to teach me how to do it."

Zi Xin's body swayed slightly, he got up and walked to Yeluning's side, holding back the hurt in his heart and said in a warm voice, "My lord, getting angry is easy to hurt, you are just a small guard, is it worth your anger? "

"I'll stay with you in the study in the afternoon." Zi Xin leaned close to Yeluning's cold face, and smiled slightly, with unusually soft brows and eyes.

Seeing the tenderness in Zixin's eyes, Yeluning couldn't bear it, he clenched his sleeves tightly, and said in a cold voice, "As the King of the Huns, I don't need the company of a small guard. If you enter the imperial city, you will not be punished for speaking out, if you speak wild words next time, I will never forgive you."

Zixin stared blankly at Yeluning's face, as if the person in front of him was no longer the person who had been with him for many days, and he just had a warm relationship with Yeluning yesterday, so how could Yeluning not remember him.

"Do it." Yeluning shook off his sleeves vigorously, and walked aside with his back to Zixin.He used to be ruthless and cruel, but when he fell in love with Zi Xin, he could no longer be ruthless.

The long whip hit the guard's back fiercely, and his skin was cut open and his flesh was bloody. The bright red blood trickled down slowly, soaking the blue clothes.

"My lord, he has saved me several times, please spare him." Zi Xin ignored the guards around her, stepped forward and hugged Yeluning's waist.

"Let go." Yeluning didn't want to hurt Zi Xin, he forcefully pulled Zi Xin's clenched fingertips away.

"My lord, it's for Chen'er, okay? He's still young, and I don't want him to see the blood in the palace right after he was born." Zixin felt a tingle in her heart when she heard the guard's shrill roar, and Yeluning felt it herself. After meeting Chen'er, his heart softened a lot, but he didn't know when Yeluning became so unfeeling.

Suddenly there was no sound from the people behind him, Zi Xin turned around and saw the guard lying on the ground with a pale complexion, blood was overflowing under his body, and a faint ups and downs could be seen in his chest.

"Come on, drag him down." Yeluning looked at the hands that had slipped from his waist, his cold voice slowed down a bit, with a slight sense of loss.

"My lord." Zi Xin looked at Yeluning's cold and heartless face, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes. He had never seen such a cruel Yeluning, with a cruel heart, and even no trace of humanity.If Chen'er grows up in the future, how sad it will be to see such a heartless father.

Yeluning raised his finger to Zixin, and didn't say a word for a long time, Zixin looked at the chill on Yeluning's face, and even thought that Yeluning was going to execute him on the spot, but he stayed with Yeluning for more than a year, watching Yeluning's love for him, and the hardships of raising Chen'er for him, he was even more moved, and he was willing to love Yeluning with all his heart, but now they have come to this step.

Zixin is not reconciled, he doesn't even believe that Yeluning has forgotten the affection between them.But now Yeluning's cruelty really chilled him to the bottom of his heart.

"Put him down and put him in the cell." Yeluning slowly put down his sleeves, maybe Zi Xin was heartbroken, and he didn't even have a glimmer of hope for him anymore, but he only hoped that Zi Xin would be safe in the cell After these few days, when he settles Yeluhong's matter, he will take Zi Xin out personally, and no matter how Zi Xin treats him, he will be willing to accept it.

Yeluning sighed slightly, the army in the imperial city was weak, he really didn't want to let Zi Xin accompany him to take risks, but he didn't know how he would save Zi Xin from hurting her heart today, as long as Zi Xin is safe and sound In the long road ahead, he will have plenty of time to please Zi Xin.
