There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

When Zhong Yu woke up, the first feeling that ran through his mind was pain.He took a deep breath without making any sound, and looked around silently.

He found that he was in a cave at the moment. There was no light in the cave, and he could vaguely see the general situation inside the cave by the morning light falling from the entrance of the cave.

This cave is very deep, and the end of the cave does not know where it leads.The cave is covered by plants, which is supposed to be a relatively safe place, but the damp smell of bat excrement in the air makes him feel that it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

He and Rong Zheng fell off the cliff together, and when he landed, his eyes darkened and he passed out.At this moment, there was no sign of Rong Zheng in the cave, but Zhong Yu didn't think it was strange, considering the friendship between him and the prince, it was the utmost benevolence for him to bring himself into this cave.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu stretched out his hand to support the rough rock beside him, and tried to sit up.It's a pity that he exerted a little force, and there were bursts of severe pain in his waist, and a warm liquid gushed out from the wound.

The appearance of the bloody smell made his drowsy head instantly sober up a lot. Zhong Yu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been hit by a stray bullet on his side before he fell unconscious.

The injury on the waist obviously has not been treated, and it seems to be left to fend for itself.Fortunately, the blood condensed into a thin layer of blood scab at the wound, which prevented him from losing too much blood in this wilderness.However, the series of actions he had just woken up caused the wound to burst again, and the hem of the clothes, which had long been invisible for a long time, was soon soaked in blood again.

Staying here is not an option, the sky is getting brighter outside the cave, he must have been unconscious in this cave for a whole night, Zhong Yu covered his wound, and was about to get up and leave here.

But at this moment, someone in the darkness said abruptly, "Don't move."

It was Rong Zheng's voice, Zhong Yu was a little surprised.He raised his head slightly, leaned his head against the stone, and looked in the direction of the voice with difficulty.

Rong Zheng hadn't left yet, his coat was missing, and only a thin shirt was left on him.He was sitting with his back against the rock, probably because of the backlight, Zhong Yu didn't see him just now.

Zhong Yuqiang pulled himself together, cleared his throat, and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"It's safer to stay here before dawn." Rong Zheng was playing with a dagger in his hand. Hearing this, he looked at Zhong Yu with a very cold attitude.

This dagger came from some dead man, and it had a faint cold light. Rong Zheng was holding it in his hand and fiddled with it at this time, which seemed to be quite menacing.

"Excuse me, lend me the dagger?" Zhong Yucai didn't care what Rong Zheng was thinking, he propped himself up and finally sat up.

"Give you the only weapon?" Rong Zheng stopped his hands, glanced at Zhong Yu, and said, "So I look so easy to fool."

Rong Zheng was too defensive against him, Zhong Yu was a little helpless, he took out a lighter from his pocket and threw it on the ground, and said to Rong Zheng: "I just want to disinfect the dagger and treat the wound urgently, otherwise I will die soon. He died before you due to blood loss."

The incident happened suddenly yesterday, leaving no time for Zhong Yu to prepare.The battle in the woods was fierce, Zhong Yu fought all the way and searched for some useful things from his opponents, this lighter was his only remaining spoils of war.The situation on Zhong Yu's waist is not optimistic, and there are no usable tools at hand, and the rescue will arrive at an unknown time, so he can only use some extreme methods to deal with it urgently.

The dagger was twirling again at Rong Zheng's fingertips. Rong Zheng watched blood flow out of Zhong Yu's wound, and had no intention of giving him the knife.

"Why do you think I care about your life?" Rong Zheng asked.

"If you really don't care, you should leave me under the cliff." Zhong Yu coughed lightly, looked at Rong Zheng and continued, "Or just kill me."

Regarding Zhong Yu's statement, Rong Zheng did not deny it: "I have thought about killing you."

Zhong Yu guessed right, during the time he was in a coma, Rong Zheng really seriously considered whether to take this opportunity to eliminate future troubles forever.After a battle between heaven and man, Rong Zheng not only did not take the opportunity to strike, but instead led him all the way to a safe place.

"I know." Zhong Yu's voice was a little low: "But you didn't do anything."

"I just want to wait until you wake up before it's too late to do it." It was too late, but as soon as Rong Zheng finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the knife at Zhong Yu's throat.

Reflecting the dim skylight outside the cave, the dagger struck straight at Zhong Yu.Zhong Yu sat on the spot without dodging.

However, in the end, the knife did not cut Zhong Yu's throat, but drew an arc in mid-air, and accurately inserted it into the crack in the stone near his hand.

"Thank you." Zhong Yu stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger forcefully.

Zhong Yu first simply wiped the blade with his clothes, then lit the lighter, and slowly roasted the tip of the blade with the flame.The fire light illuminated half of Zhong Yu's figure, and from Rong Zheng's angle, this silhouette looked like a person.

During Zhong Yu's coma, Rong Zheng thought about taking off his mask again to find out.But this black lacquered mask seemed to grow on Zhong Yu's face, and it was impossible to do anything with it.

Then in the abandoned Xuande Palace not long ago, why Rong Zheng could easily remove Zhong Yu's mask is worth pondering.

Thinking of this, Rong Zheng stood up and sat down not far from Zhong Yu: "Yesterday, you were the one who secretly covered me from being chased and killed."

"It's me." Zhong Yu focused on roasting the blade, and said mockingly: "I tried to inform the East Palace yesterday before I came, and they haven't found it after such a long time, it's really a waste."

Zhong Yu was obviously scolding Yan Tian. The two of them fell off the cliff and hid in the cave last night. It is not easy to find people.

"The Queen sent you here to kill me, why did you help me?" Rong Zheng's topic was not taken away by Zhong Yu, and immediately returned to his own track.

"You're right, but after you die, she can just put the crime of murdering the prince on me and kill the donkey." Zhong Yu said: "So only you are alive, and I can still have the last bit of value for her .”

"You and the empress have been in harmony for a long time." Rong Zheng expressed his judgment.

Zhong Yu avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "It can be said so."

"Why?" Rong Zheng asked.

"Your Highness, you don't need to know why." Zhong Yu said: "You just need to know that now you and I are the community of interests."

Rong Zheng laughed when he heard the words, and said: "The national teacher is really eloquent, it is too dishonest to try to draw me into the same camp with the touch of his upper and lower lips."

"Oh?" Rong Zheng removed the dagger from the flames, turned to look at Rong Zheng: "How do you want me to surrender? How about using the head on my neck as a token of surrender?"

"The national teacher is serious." Rong Zheng looked down at the orange light in Zhong Yu's hand, and said, "Why don't you tell me why you and I fell from such a high cliff together last night, and why we are still safe and sound."

Zhong Yu laughed, feeling very eccentric.He raised his eyes to look at Rong Zheng, and asked, "Do you call my current appearance safe and sound?"

Rong Zheng glanced at the scarred Zhong Yu and said, "You know what I mean."

Zhong Yu was noncommittal, he lowered his head, and pressed the hot dagger to his wound without blinking his eyes.

A white smoke rose, and the smell of burnt protein filled the moist air.A low moan leaked from Zhong Yu's throat, but he suppressed it immediately.

During this process, Zhong Yu behaved very calmly, as if the knife was not his own flesh and blood, but the bulging veins on his arm revealed the pain he was enduring at the moment.

Rong Zheng's heart seemed to be scalded by this hot dagger, and he held his breath in pain.When he spoke again, his voice sounded a little unstable: "Since the national teacher doesn't want to say it, then I'll change the question." Rong Zheng asked the question he cared about, trying to divert the attention that has been entwined on Zhong Yu's wound : "For more than a year, you have tried your best to get close to the East Palace and me. What is the purpose?"

The dagger in Zhong Yu's hand trembled, accidentally leaving a bloodstain on his skin.He ignored the blood that was slowly oozing out, and picked up the carrion at the edge of the wound bit by bit with the tip of the knife.

"Where did the word 'close' come from? I think that between you and my monarchs and ministers, the friendship between gentlemen has always been as light as water." Zhong Yu said.

Zhong Yu's casual attitude made Rong Zheng's anger begin to rise: "So in the eyes of the national teacher, you and I are friends of gentlemen." Rong Zheng sneered, and said surprisingly: "It's because I'm ignorant and ignorant. I heard that any kind of friendship between gentlemen will be handed over to the bed."

Zhong Yu's heart trembled when he heard this, he raised his head, and glanced at Rong Zheng indifferently: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Zhong Yu no longer concealed her displeasure, but Rong Zheng didn't care.This layer of window paper will not be broken, and the matter has come to an end, Rong Zheng doesn't mind making the hole bigger.

So he asked Zhong Yu: "How did you manage to come and go freely between the East Palace and the Empress?"

"It seems that we can't say a few words calmly." The high temperature bonded the carrion in the wound, and the blood has been temporarily stopped. Although this method will cause endless troubles, it can relieve the urgent need.

Zhong Yu threw the dagger to the ground and lowered his head to straighten his ragged clothes.As if he didn't want to stay here any longer, he stood up and said to Rong Zheng, "I believe the people from the Eastern Palace will find this place soon, so you can just wait here with peace of mind. I'll be leaving first, and we'll meet later."

How could Rong Zheng allow Zhong Yu to leave just like that? He immediately stood up and stepped forward relentlessly: "You have been deceiving and using me from the beginning to the end."

Zhong Yu completely ignored Rong Zheng's words, he didn't answer Rong Zheng's question, turned around and walked out of the cave.

Rong Zheng followed behind Zhong Yu, looking at that figure with a smile on his face: "It's very interesting to play with people's hearts, isn't it?"

Zhong Yu walked in a hurry, and walked out without looking back, and did not stop to respond to Rong Zheng's intentions.

Rong Zheng felt that he was being surrounded by countless thorns, and his body was being torn in half.How to face this person, he has not figured it out yet.

But seeing that Zhong Yu was about to walk out of his line of sight, his rationality fell short in an instant.Rong Zheng hurriedly took a step forward, and shouted without thinking: "Ye Zhaoling! Stop!"

Zhong Yu stopped suddenly, and stood with his back to Rong Zheng, neither turning his head nor continuing to walk forward.For a long time after that, no one spoke again.The air in the cave seems to have condensed, and every time you take a breath, you will inhale ice balls full of heart and lungs, cutting people's internal organs and six internal organs full of wounds.

In the end, Rong Zheng spoke first: "You are Ye Zhaoling."

Rong Zheng said this sentence almost mechanically and numbly. He didn't think about what would happen after he got the answer, and he didn't dare to think about it.It's not that he didn't want to deceive himself and others, but he couldn't deceive himself in the face of all the injustices Zhong Yu had committed.

"Your Highness." Zhong Yu looked outside the cave at the forest covered with morning light. Under the golden morning light, every plant and tree in front of him made people yearn for the beauty of this world.

There was a smile in his voice again involuntarily: "There is no Ye Zhaoling in this world."
