It was just after sunset when we returned to the barracks, Ye Huaiyun lost his appetite by the death of those men in black today, so he went straight back to his tent with a sullen face.

Naturally, the guards of Ping Great Wall had to be replaced by their people, but more importantly, it was the desert of souls that the tea shop owner said.

The desert was separated between the Southwest Domain and the Dachen Territory, and it was the only way for them to march forward.

No one survived... Ye Huaiyun tapped his fingertips on the table.

The last time he stood on the mountainside of Dieshui Valley, he looked forward.The desert is not an endless expanse, why can't we get out?

Unless, there is something unusual in it.

He doesn't believe in strange powers, so it seems that he has to send someone to explore the way.

"Xie Lan." Ye Huaiyun walked out of the account.

The warm setting sun slanted over the man's sideburns and sprinkled in the tent, and he walked in with a food box in his hand.Ye Huaiyun raised her eyes for a moment, "...Why is it you?"

"Otherwise, who does His Majesty want?" Chu Tingyun looked at him with a smile on his face.

"I have business to call Xie Lan," Ye Huaiyun said.

"Xie Lan was dismissed by me, and it's the same when His Majesty entrusts me with the matter." Chu Tingyun put down the food box, looked down at the map he had spread out on the table, and drew a circle in the desert with the ink pen, and immediately understood up.

"Leave me the matter of going to the Dead Soul Desert to find the way." Chu Tingyun rolled up the map and put it away, "I will give you an answer before tomorrow morning."

"You don't have to." Ye Huaiyun said: "You haven't healed from the sword wound yet, let someone else handle this matter."

Chu Tingyun looked at him and smiled slowly, "Huaiyun, are you caring about me?"

"It is." Ye Huaiyun did not refute, "I have always cared about my subordinates."

Chu Tingyun touched his chin, "I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has a problem, I will definitely solve it for Your Majesty with my own efforts."

"Yeah, I did it myself for four years, but I haven't heard from you." Ye Huaiyun's voice was cold, and he deliberately mocked him.

But when Chu Tingyun heard him say this, he knew that he was not really angry, but just couldn't get over the uncomfortable hurdle in his heart.Smiling, he opened the food box, brought out dishes bought from Pingshui City Restaurant, and placed them in front of him.

Soup dumplings filled with crab roe, shredded chicken tremella, sweet and sour lotus root... one after another.

Chu Tingyun handed the chopsticks to his hand, "It's all what you like to eat."

The Imperial Dining Room of the He Palace doesn't know what His Majesty likes to eat, but Chu Tingyun does know.

For example, whenever steamed crabs are used in the palace, he only picks out the roe and discards the crab meat; he uses lotus leaf chicken to tear off the meat from the chicken breast, and pulls it into strips in a bowl before he agrees to eat it; he uses hot and sour potatoes Si must throw away the red pepper, and use potatoes to dip the bottom of the dish with vinegar...

These little habits that Ye Huaiyun didn't even pay attention to, were remembered by Chu Tingyun in his heart.

Therefore, Ye Huaiyun watched him fawning over him, even if he lost his appetite because of the Pingshui City assassin.At this moment, I couldn't find any bones in the eggs.

After Ye Huaiyun finished eating slowly, Chu Tingyun put away his things, soaked a cloth towel in warm water and wiped his hands, and said, "You have a good rest in the camp. I'll go to the Desert of Souls and find out for you."

"Wait a minute." Ye Huaiyun called to stop him from behind, "You are injured, I will send more people to go with you."

Ye Huaiyun knew that Chu Tingyun had a high opinion of himself, so he decided to go for it alone.Although she wanted to leave him alone, she was a little worried after all.

But the man's next words immediately made him feel that the worry had fed the dog.

"Whether my wounds are healed or not, Your Majesty will come and try it yourself, so you will know?"

Ye Huaiyun hadn't heard such intimate and joking words from him for a long time, Ye Huaiyun turned his head a little uncomfortably, and blushed in disbelief, and immediately kicked him out.

It seems to hear a long roar of the horses, galloping wildly, gradually going away.

Ye Huaiyun asked someone to bring a bucket of cold water, and soaked himself in it after taking off his clothes.

Yun Yu, who had experienced the most wonderful and joyful experience in the world, went to Wushan, and was abstinent and forbearing at the most vigorous age.During those few years, Huan often woke up in a dream, with shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat, and then tossed and turned, unable to sleep.Just ask people to send cold water to soak for half a night, and the pain subsides.

But just now, he just woke up after hearing Chu Tingyun's intimate words.

But even if he knew that if he soaked in cold water in the cold and steep spring night, he would definitely catch a cold tomorrow, he still didn't want to touch it.

Strangely, until the temperature of his skin faded today, he didn't feel at peace.A subtle feeling gradually climbed to another place that was hard to describe.Ye Huaiyun took a deep breath and stood up from the bathtub, put on his robe and walked outside.

The night wind in the suburbs was chilly, and those who had just soaked in cold water couldn't help shivering.

Seeing him coming out in this outfit, Xie Lan couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty is going out?"

Ye Huaiyun gave a "hmm" and said, "Bring Feng Guiyun here for me."

Xie Lan remembered that his senior brother had just rode out on a fine horse before a stick of incense, and immediately understood something.

Ye Huaiyun got on his horse and went straight to the desert of dead souls.

Tonight, the clouds are thick, the stars are faint, and the desert shrouded in the night is pitch black, and the road ahead cannot be seen clearly.

Ye Huaiyun took out a South China Sea night pearl from his bosom, and chatted with a clear vision.

With a compass in his hand, he searched half a circle in the desert, but he did not see Chu Tingyun's voice.

The surrounding area was desolate, and suddenly, a shrill wolf howl resounded in the mid-air not far away.Ye Huaiyun's heart tightened suddenly.

In the desert of dead souls, there is no survivor.

A few words lingered in his mind, and his hand holding the horse's rein tightened for no reason.

The horse's hooves kicked up dust, and Ye Huaiyun circled in this desert of dead souls.Every time I walk, the stone hanging over my heart goes up a little bit, until finally it gets stuck in my throat and I can't breathe.

"Chu Tingyun!" Ye Huaiyun called out his name.

The sound scattered in the air, and at the same time, the grains of sand under his feet suddenly moved, as if they were beginning to collapse.

Ye Huaiyun was immediately alert and wanted to speed up the horses.

But as if something was pulling the horse's hooves, Feng Guiyun suddenly retreated, and Ye Huaiyun was also thrown off the horse's back and fell into the sand.

The surrounding sand began to flow rapidly, forming a depression centered on him and the horse, sinking down little by little.

Ye Huaiyun wanted to climb up, but his feet were already entangled in quicksand, and he couldn't use any strength.

The more he struggled, the faster he sank, Ye Huaiyun simply didn't dare to move.Let the quicksand flow over his ankles, knees, waist and hips little by little...

Ye Huaiyun looked at the flowing sand, as if it was his lost life.He suddenly understood why no one who entered the desert of souls would survive.

But the way has been found out, and this life seems to be almost gone.

At the juncture of life and death, he suddenly wanted to laugh a little, he was afraid that he would become the emperor with the shortest life and the most absurd cause of death in history.

Ye Huaiyun slowly closed his eyes, "Huaiyun—"

In the distance, Chu Tingyun's voice made his eyelids tremble.After confirming that it was not the flashback before his death, Ye Huaiyun threw out the Ye Mingzhu he was holding in his hand forcefully as a response.

Chu Tingyun rushed to his side in an instant.

"Huaiyun, grab my hand and I'll pull you up."

Ye Huaiyun stretched out his hand as he said, but he had sunk too deep into the sand, and his fingertips couldn't reach Chu Tingyun anyway.

Anxious in his heart, Chu Tingyun stretched out the Xuanyi sword and said to him: "Grab the scabbard."

Ye Huaiyun grabbed it easily, Chu Tingyun gritted his teeth and pulled up with all his strength.Seeing that there seemed to be some results, suddenly, the scabbard and hilt of the Xuanyi Sword suddenly separated, and Ye Huaiyun, who had just been pulled up a little, was sucked back by the quicksand, and his whole body was swallowed up in an instant.

Chu Tingyun looked at the pile of yellow sand that was still flowing, and without thinking about it, he jumped down.

The yellow sand submerged his body and blocked his nostrils. Ye Huaiyun closed his eyes tightly and held his breath.

Just when he was about to lose his hold, he suddenly felt light, and fell from mid-air onto the hard ground.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was darkness thicker than the night, and he couldn't see his fingers.

"Huaiyun!" Chu Tingyun's voice sounded not far away: "Are you here?"

Ye Huaiyun's heart skipped a beat, and she responded, "I'm here."

Chu Tingyun said: "Stand still, I'll go find you."

The sound of hurried footsteps gradually sounded in my ears, and the next second, Ye Huaiyun was hugged tightly into an embrace.The tip of his nose was filled with the familiar faint cumin, which made him take a deep sniff, and then another.

After a while, Ye Huaiyun tapped his back lightly, "I'm going to be smothered to death by you."

Only then did Chu Tingyun let go of him, held up the luminous pearl that he picked up in the desert just now, shined it on the side of his face and asked, "Are you all right?"

Ye Huaiyun patted the few grains of sand on his face, shook his head, "It's fine."

Under the illumination of the night pearl, the two found that they were surrounded by stone walls, as if they were in a stone room.

Ye Huaiyun walked up to the four walls with the fluke mentality that there might be an exit. He didn't know the mechanism of the mysterious door, so he could only try one by one.

After trying for a while, he found nothing, but Chu Tingyun stood behind him all the time, arms crossed, not only did not come to help, but also seemed to be watching the show.Ye Huaiyun was a little annoyed immediately, "Chu Aiqing wants to be trapped here forever?"

Chu Tingyun smiled in the faint jade light of the night pearl, "If there are only you and me here, I am willing to be trapped for a lifetime."

Ye Huaiyun snorted coolly, "Forget it if you starve to death."

After finishing speaking, someone hugged her waist from behind, and Chu Tingyun rested her chin on the crescent of his neck, "I haven't asked yet, why are you here?"

Ye Huaiyun blushed in embarrassment, but luckily the place was dark and the people behind her couldn't see.

Chu Tingyun said again: "If you don't say anything, I will acquiesce that His Majesty misses and worries about me."

Ye Huaiyun remained silent, unwilling to admit it easily.

Chu Tingyun spun around him, pinched Ye Huaiyun's chin again, let him look at him, and said seriously: "Huaiyun, I was wrong."

"Four years ago, I shouldn't have given you medicine, I shouldn't have passed the imperial decree and left without saying goodbye, I shouldn't have written you a single letter. A year ago, I shouldn't have rushed to the southwest overnight and killed you on the tower It rained all day. Huaiyun, I..."

"No, you are right." Ye Huaiyun's heart was beating extremely fast, but his tone was calm, "I am the one who is wrong."

"As an emperor, I shouldn't put all my heart and soul on you alone, otherwise I wouldn't have experienced great sorrow after enjoying all the great joy."

Every time he said a word, Chu Tingyun's hand around his waist tightened a little, a little at a loss, and murmured: "Huaiyun, I promise, I will never leave you from now on. Well, no matter if you want to retire to the mountains and forests, I will accompany you."

"Just forgive me this time..." After speaking, it was already pleading.

For a person as proud as Chu Tingyun, Ye Huaiyun had never seen him so helpless, and almost immediately indulged in his soft whispers.But reason told him that he should not let go easily, so he said: "If you have time to talk about this, why not think about how to get out first."

Chu Tingyun let it take its course and understood it as: "As long as I can find a way out, will you forgive me?"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

Chu Tingyun took him as his acquiescence, and immediately started looking for agencies.
