It turns out that I too have been robbed.

At this moment, Qi Baili held his breath and remained motionless.

He didn't dare to disturb Pei Ruzhou.

The soldiers in the distance were still singing to the sound of the pipa, and the movements of Pei Ruzhou's subordinates did not stop for a moment. The setting sun behind him was moving down, and it was about to hide at the other end of the sand dunes.

The whole world has become a thick golden red.

Another gust of wind blew from nowhere, and Pei Ruzhou's long hair was lifted up high.

At this time his hair was messed up, and Qi Baili's heart was even more messed up.

The speed of the setting sun is always so fast, obviously not long ago, everyone still felt that the heat was unbearable.In just a few breaths, as the sun set, the surrounding temperature suddenly began to drop.

The gust of wind blew over, Qi Baili also felt that the clothes on his body were a little thin, but he still didn't dare to leave, let alone disturb Pei Ruzhou.

Qi Baili just looked at Pei Ruzhou like this, until the sun in the distance completely disappeared before his eyes, everything around him was in darkness, only a little bit of sunset glow reflected by the setting sun was left.

At the end of the song, Pei Ruzhou finally put down the pipa in his hand, and at this moment, the sound of the wind in his ears also became louder.

Although there was no battle just now, Pei Ruzhou was still wearing an iron armor. After the temperature suddenly dropped, the iron armor became extremely cold.Even though he was wrapped tightly around his body, he still felt a little cold at this moment.

"Hiss—" After getting up, Pei Ruzhou held the neck of the pipa, and couldn't help but gasped slightly.

Or, secretly.

The general guarding the city of Zhoulan Pass intends to train him, and Pei Ruzhou's performance is also very good.After several battles, the size of the army he commanded became larger and larger.

From hundreds, to thousands, to almost the entire army.

In the beginning, most of the people who followed Pei Ruzhou were his children, or soldiers who had known him for a long time.It was very natural for everyone to get along with Pei Ruzhou, and they didn't really treat him as a general.

But now, with the increase in the number of his subordinates, the soldiers' understanding of him has also changed - the son of General Zhenxi, who uses soldiers like a god.

So, everyone is obviously the same age, and even many soldiers are older than Pei Ruzhou, but what they have more for Pei Ruzhou is their awe and admiration.

Pei Ruzhou is not used to this feeling, but now he also knows that he has to bear this high expectation and the pressure that comes with it.

The sun was setting, so Pei Ruzhou was naturally cold.But he can only show it when no one is around, and he will always be that fearless, omnipotent little general in front of people.

This set of armor on Pei Ruzhou's body was not heavy, but after the sky darkened, the cooling speed of this thing was no slower than that of heavy armor.

"It's so cold." The young man muttered softly.

Pei Ruzhou wanted to get down from the sand dune, but just as he raised his head, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.

That's... Qi Baili?

"impossible?"

Pei Ruzhou was stunned for a moment, he wondered if he was wrong.

Now the sun has completely set, and there is only a little light left in the sky.To Pei Ruzhou, the one in front was just a vague figure. If ordinary people saw it, they might not even be sure if there was anyone in the place in front.

Pei Ruzhou suddenly remembered that some time ago someone told him that someone would come from Fengcheng in a while, but he really never thought that this person would be Qi Baili.

After all, he is the future emperor.

In the previous thousands of years of history, no emperor, or future emperor, has ever been here.

In the eyes of most Central Plains people, the place of Day Lan Pass is the farthest corner of the world.

Pei Ruzhou understands that although he likes the place of Zhoulan Pass and feels that there is nothing to replace it, in the eyes of others, it is a symbol of wildness and backwardness.

However, he felt that Qi Baili would not think this place was barbaric. After all, when he told Qi Baili about this place before, the young man showed great interest.

But having said that, no matter whether Qi Baili is interested or not, the frontier fortress is now fighting, and even the people who have lived in Daylan Pass for generations and have never left here have already left for the Central Plains with their families.

Let alone running to where he is now.

Thinking of this, Pei Ruzhou's footsteps suddenly stopped.

However, when he stood here in a daze, he suddenly saw the figure not far away, stepping forward.

Walking on the desert is a very difficult thing. People give the sand a lot of strength, and it will return you three or four points.Even sometimes, quicksand sinks downward, and instead of being able to move forward, people will slowly slide backward.

But in Pei Ruzhou's view, the person in the distance appeared beside him almost in the blink of an eye.

Before he could say anything, the visitor suddenly hugged Pei Ruzhou into his arms.

The figure hidden in his mind suddenly became clear.

It's really Qi Baili - Pei Ruzhou said silently in his heart afterwards.

This kind of faint cold fragrance seems to be only found on Qi Baili's body.

Last moment Pei Ruzhou felt cold, but he didn't expect to fall into a warm embrace at this moment.

Pei Ruzhou suddenly remembered the sound of the piano he heard the day he left the capital. He had obviously not seen each other for a long time, but at the moment when he was hugged by the other party, time seemed to disappear suddenly.In just an instant, Pei Ruzhou relaxed.

No matter how great his military exploits were, and how high expectations were placed on him, Pei Ruzhou was still just a boy in his teens.

He never showed it on the surface, but in fact he felt extremely heavy pressure.

Finally, at the moment when he met Qi Baili, Pei Ruzhou took off the armor in his heart.

While embracing, Pei Ruzhou felt the warmth of this embrace, and at the same time subconsciously realized——I haven't seen Qi Baili for several months, he seems to have grown a lot taller?

The skinny young man in Pei Ruzhou's memory was already half a head taller than him at some point.Qi Baili's embrace was not only warm, but also very strong.

Pei Ruzhou suddenly found himself feeling a little addicted.

He quickly squeezed this thought out of his mind, Pei Ruzhou smiled lightly, wanted to let go of Qi Baili, and said, "Why did you come here?"

"I want to see you." Qi Baili's answer was very direct and simple.

Feeling that Pei Ruzhou wanted to break free from his embrace, he finally let the boy go slowly.

Qi Baili had never worn armor before, he didn't know how cold Pei Ruzhou was now, but he only knew that Pei Ruzhou's eyes had become different from before.

The special light in his eyes became more dazzling, but at the same time, his demeanor became more restrained and steady.

The young man who experienced a lot of experience on the battlefield seemed to grow more thorny flower branches, and he looked even brighter.

Qi Baili's eyes suddenly darkened.

Pei Ruzhou didn't notice this, he and Qi Baili were already walking forward side by side.

"I was told earlier that someone from Fengcheng was coming, but I never thought it would be you." Pei Ruzhou said with a smile.

"I want to see you, and I just have this opportunity." Qi Baili said.

If Pei Ruzhou had heard Qi Baili say this a few months ago, he would have been very happy.But today he paused for a moment, turned around suddenly, and looked at Qi Baili with extremely serious eyes.

"Your Highness knows that this place is dangerous."

Pei Ruzhou used "Your Highness", a title he hadn't used for a long time.

Hearing these words, Qi Baili nodded slowly.

Pei Ruzhou smiled, and then said softly: "That's fine, Your Highness should know what war is like better than anyone else..."

After all, you are the future emperor.

"Huh?" Qi Baili didn't understand Pei Ruzhou's words.

Pei Ruzhou shook his head and stopped talking, the sky had completely darkened at this time, just when Pei Ruzhou was about to ask Qi Baili when he came and what arrangements he had, the young man's expression suddenly changed.

"Ahem..." But in an instant, his face was as pale as paper.

How is this going?

Qi Baili immediately helped him into his arms, and the surrounding guarding soldiers also gathered together in horror.

Pei Ruzhou was stunned for a moment. Recently, he was too busy studying the battle situation and had no time to think about other things. He belatedly realized a problem—tonight is the day when he gets poisoned!

Many people in Fengcheng knew about Pei Ruzhou's regular poisoning, but the news did not spread to the Western Regions.During the previous times of poisoning, Pei Ruzhou always looked for opportunities to hide from the crowd.

When Pei Ruzhou was poisoned, he would go to the Netherworld. He didn't really have to taste the pain of bone erosion.At that time, as long as he avoids everyone, there will be no major problems, at most he will disappear for most of the day.No one here will find it strange, and no one will guard him.

He had the same plan today.

However, he did not expect that someone who knew that Pei Ruzhou would be poisoned would appear!

At the moment when Pei Ruzhou fainted suddenly, he saw Qi Baili's terrified expression.

Did I scare him again?
