Shen Gong Ji

A person whispered in my ear, "Young master, please keep quiet, this subordinate was sent by His Majesty Emperor Yan to rescue you."

His Majesty?little emperor?

I was startled, and stopped struggling immediately.The masked man seemed to be aware of my cooperation, and slowly moved his hand away.I stared at him closely, fully alert, "How can I trust you?"

"Your Majesty asked his subordinates to bring a word to the young master: Juntian, when I come back, I will never leave you again."

This sentence was said quietly to me by the little emperor in the Fuyao Palace that night before his departure.At that time, the moon and stars were thin outside the window, and the dark wind floated the green curtain, and his smiling face was as bright as a flame.

I lifted the quilt, carefully exposed the chains on my hands and feet, and whispered to the person who was probably a guard, "Can you get this off?"

He took out a strange thin tool from his waist, lowered his head and fiddled with it in my hand for a while, and with a click, the chains that had imprisoned me for a month fell off.The sudden ringing of bells in the silent night made me tremble, and the guard comforted me, "The people outside have already been knocked out by me, don't worry. We'd better leave quickly."

I followed him out of the door quickly, and I saw the Qi Guo soldiers who had collapsed on the ground in front of the door.He grabbed me and jumped on the net, and I felt like I was on the roof in a blink of an eye.Afterwards he took me quickly out of the embassy.At this time, there was already noise inside the wall, probably because my escape was exposed.I was so nervous that I ran as hard as I could after the guards.After turning into an alley, there was a black horse standing inside. He helped me climb onto the horse's back, and sat behind me. With a low shout, the horse rushed out of the alley like a gust of wind, and rushed all the way to the city gate.

There are wooden fences running across the city gate, and there are many guarding soldiers on both sides.The soldiers had already spotted us and were raising their halberds and shouting loudly. I was in a bad mood, but I saw that the speed of the horse hadn't slowed down at all.The fence was close at hand, and I was about to bump into someone and turn over, I couldn't help but screamed, but suddenly felt my body lighten, the horse jumped up, stepped over the fence, and the soldiers fell on both sides in fright. side.I hugged the horse's neck tightly so as not to be thrown off. The horse continued to charge forward after crossing the fence, and my beating heart gradually calmed down after rushing several miles away...

However, he couldn't relax now, as far away, there was already a sea of ​​stars gushing out of the city.I knew that the horse was running too slowly with two people on its back, and I was anxious when I suddenly saw a forest in front of me, so I shouted to the people behind me, "Hide me in that forest, and then run first! Come find me again!"

The people behind were silent, but immediately rode their horses towards the woods.We walked all the way to the depths of the woods, he reined in the horse, and took me to fly up a lesson on the dense ginkgo tree.Fan-shaped leaves surrounded by thick and dense crowds, and all the vision was blocked by the overlapping ginkgo leaves for a while.He put me on a thick branch and said in a low voice, "My lord, wait a moment, wait for my subordinates to lead the pursuers away."

I nodded, but my heart was very nervous.What if he doesn't come back like Duan Xihe?I can only wait for him for a day and a night, and then I have to find a way to escape by myself.

After he settled me down, he jumped down and left along the tree trunk.I sat tremblingly hugging the tree trunk alone, the night wind after autumn was already very biting, and because I came out in a hurry, I didn’t wear any coat, only a thin robe, and the night wind seemed to be able to breathe It was like going straight through the pores to the bone marrow. After less than an hour, my whole body was stiff and my teeth were chattering.

In a short while, the noise from far and near suddenly came, tearing up the rustling silence in the forest.Through the layers of leaves, I vaguely saw countless fire shadows flashing under the tree, which must be the pursuers.I immediately held my breath, not even daring to breathe out.They seemed to search under the tree, but found nothing, and departed after a while.I relaxed a little and leaned against the trunk to rest for a while.Gradually, drowsiness came to me. I wrapped my clothes tightly and dozed off while leaning on the tree trunk in a daze.

It was around midnight, and I vaguely felt warmth all over my body, and then my frozen hands were suddenly taken into a pair of warm palms.My eyelids felt heavy and I really wanted to open them, but I could only open a crack slightly.Appearing in the field of vision has a jade-like face, picturesque brows, and a pair of upturned fox eyes looking at me gently, as if all the lingering love of the day has been collected.

I blinked and thought I was dreaming, so I burrowed into his arms recklessly and muttered, "Damn...I'm freezing to death..."

The embrace that hugged me became tighter and tighter, so tight that there was no room for a gap, the cold was completely isolated from the outside, and could no longer corrode me.

Someone kissed my forehead lightly, and the words that rang in my ears were low and distressed, "Who made you run around? Didn't you tell you to wait for me to go back?"

I buried my face in his arms, sniffing the faint scent of medicine on his body, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you'll die outside."

He seemed to laugh a few times helplessly, and then I fell asleep again.

This time I slept very soundly, and those horrible dreams never came to haunt me again.I feel that my world is enveloped by the scent of that medicine, boundless and warm as spring.

When he woke up, the first thing he saw was still the little emperor.At that time, he was sitting beside my bed reading a book, with a vermilion silk robe draped over his body, and his black hair loose.The smoke from the incense blurred his side face, I looked at him stupidly, and was speechless for a while.

It was not a dream, I actually found him.

No...it was obviously found by him...

I laughed in a low voice, only then did he realize that I was awake, and looked over with black and white eyes, "Say, how should I punish you?"

I raised my eyebrows, "Your Majesty, you bully the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled."

"Are you old or disabled?"

"I have all four."

He chuckled twice, showing a dimple on one side.He reached into the quilt to touch my hand, and gently put it in his palm, "Why do you want to run out? You really don't make people worry."

"Who told you to go missing while you had nothing to do? Do you know that Yan Guo is in a mess."

"I have my own considerations." He stroked my hair, looked at me silently for a while, and suddenly asked softly, "Did you suffer a lot?"

I stared at him blankly, until his eyes became softer and more pitiful, and his hand wiped the corners of my eyes lightly, then I realized that my eyes seemed to be red again.With such a simple sentence, all the insults I suffered in Beichuan City seemed to be worth it. I held his hand, closed my eyes forcefully and swallowed back my tears, "It's not bitter."

"Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring you food."

"kindness……"

The corners of his red clothes were swallowed by the rippling curtain, and I lay down again. The fatigue of the past few days was finally completely stripped from my body and heart, every muscle relaxed, and the whole world seemed to become brighter.

I don't know how he is in Qiguo territory, and what he intends to do.But these are not important anymore, as long as you find him, once you find him, you can never lose them again.

He simply ate something, and he didn't say much to me, just sat quietly beside me, writing something on the table.After a while, he put the paper in an envelope and handed it to a guard.Afterwards, he blew out the candle and quietly looked at the light moonlight outside the window.The silver light rippled in his eyes, mysterious and unpredictable.

He said suddenly, "It's time."

Not long after I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. It was an unsettling noise. The red fire light covered the clear moon, and shadows of people were projected on the white wall.

I put on my coat and stood up, "What's going on?"

At this moment, the guard who led me to escape came in and knelt down on one knee to the little emperor, "Your Majesty, we are already surrounded."

what? !

surrounded? !

I was terrified, but the little emperor was calm and even smiled a little.

He said, "You tell Zhu Ran, I will go out after changing clothes."

"Yes."

After the guards went out, I immediately asked, "What's going on?! Is Zhu Ran here? How did he find us?"

"Maybe I was followed when I rescued you?" The little emperor put his hands on my shoulders, and looked at me with a calmness that drove me crazy, "Juntian, don't worry, leave everything to me."

"Aren't you worried about being arrested?! Run! I can put on your clothes and pretend to be you. We are not much different in size. You can run as far as you want!"

But he laughed under his breath, as if I was an idiot, "You don't believe that you're my father-in-law?"

Xiang... Xianggong...

How shameless is this person... is he still flirting now? !

"Don't worry, come and help me change my clothes." He said, pointing to the formal clothes on the chair beside him.

How the hell did he even have his clothes ready in advance?Did he know that Zhu Ran already knew his whereabouts?

Where did this come from?

I put those gorgeous robes on for him one by one, but my mind was messed up, my mind was restless, and I tied the wrong knots several times.Finally, he took up the crown of the hanging curtain bell, carefully put it on his head, and tied the silk ribbons hanging from both sides to his chin.He suddenly held my hand lightly, his face covered by the bead chain was a bit blurred, "Do you trust me?"

"... What's the difference between you going out like this and committing suicide?"

"Don't worry, Zhu Ran won't kill me."

"Even if he doesn't kill him for the time being, if the news of your capture is brought back to the Yan Kingdom, the whole country will be in turmoil. When the world is in chaos, won't the Yan Kingdom be over?"

"I bet you that he won't reveal the news of my capture."

Seeing his firm tone, I was really confused, "How do you know?"

"You forgot, his younger brother is my queen, he is a person who loves my younger brother very much." His tone was light, as if the corner of his mouth was smiling, "Besides, he and I were old acquaintances."

So, is he planning to use the Queen as a hostage?But would Zhu Ran really give up the easy-to-reach country for a younger brother?

And the old acquaintance he mentioned seems to have something inside, but now I can't let me think about it.He held out his hand to me, "Come on, come out with me."

I tidied up my clothes and hair, took his hand, and walked out with him.This seems to be the courtyard of a rich family, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions matching each other, green trees and weeping willows piled up with smoke and green, winding corridors, but now there are soldiers who look like soldiers in armor everywhere.I followed him for half a step, walking at a leisurely pace, trying my best to imitate his appearance and act like a royal prince.However, the feeling of being completely clueless about the status quo really makes it difficult for me to pretend to be calm.

Outside the gate, I saw Zhu Ran in brocade clothes and hat, looking at the little emperor with a stern face.Yan Shu walked in front of him, the rulers of the two countries just looked at each other quietly, an inexplicable atmosphere quietly spread in the air.

The little emperor tilted his head slightly, and said with a light smile, "Congratulations, you finally found me."

Zhu Ran still didn't say a word, but his eyes that were always piercing became slightly different at this moment.I always feel that the way he looks at the little emperor is very strange, it seems that it is beyond the appreciation of his opponent, and it is not the resentment towards the enemy. That kind of look is only for a moment, but for some reason it makes me a little bit bitter.

After a while, Zhu Ran raised his hand suddenly, and the soldiers behind him surrounded me and the little emperor. "Escort Emperor Yan and Mr. Xian to the car." He ordered lightly.

The little emperor didn't seem to have any intention of resisting at all. A very inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of us, and he got into it first.I couldn't, so I had to keep up.The frame was dangling and driving towards an unknown direction. I looked at him uneasily, but couldn't help asking, "What are your plans?"

"Jun Tian, ​​can you promise me something?"

"what?"

"During these days, no matter what happens, don't ask. Just trust me, okay?"

Ask nothing, just trust him.This seems to be back to the days when I just entered the palace, sitting in the dark room in Yongxiang like a fool, waiting for him to think of me, waiting for him to rescue me.But in the end, it was myself who saved me.

But this time I chose to nod and silently agreed to his request.
