I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor
Chapter 12 The Shadow on the Back
It started to rain soon, Luo Bai couldn't take it anymore, so he yelled in a hurry: back off, and ran towards Yuqing Palace.
As if the wild cat generals were granted amnesty, they also rushed to shelters from the rain. The small court hall was destroyed in an instant, leaving only a big stone and some planks.
The little leopard was running in the forest, and the rain fell from the gaps in the leaves, soaking a layer of snow-white fur.Luo Bai looked up at the sky, his eyes were half-closed by the rain, and as he hurried forward, he wondered if his pretty brother was drenched in such a heavy rain.
On the pitch-black official road, more than a dozen horses galloped, their hoofs splashing water, and they headed towards the capital at a high speed.
The rain was getting heavier, the leader reined in the horse, the red-brown horse raised its front hooves high, stopped after a long hiss, and breathed out a white mist-like snort in the rain.
The man on horseback was tall and straight, with his long black cloak billowing in the wind, a little gleam reflected his handsome but sharp face contour, it was Chu Yuzhao who was out of the palace to inspect the disaster situation.
He raised his hand and gestured for a rest on the spot, then got off his horse and walked towards the woods beside the road.
A group of men in black behind them dismounted quickly, with weapons on their waists, they pitched up two tents in a well-trained manner, regenerated the fire to boil water, and everything was in order.
Chu Yuzhao stood on the lawn, looking at the dark night in the distance, Hong Si held an umbrella for him, saw that the candlelight was already lit in the tent, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you should go to the tent first to avoid the rain."
Chu Yuzhao put the back of his hand against his lips, coughed twice, turned around and walked towards one of the tents, Hong Si hurriedly followed.
This is a simple temporary tent. After Chu Yuzhao lowered his head and got in, his tall figure squeezed the space even narrower.However, water-proof blankets and tiger skins had already been spread on the ground, and a small table was set up. After Chu Yuzhao sat down, the freshly heated soup was brought in.
"You guys also rest for a while, and then set off after dawn." Hong Si glanced at Chu Yuzhao, and ordered the man in black who delivered the soup.
"Yes."
Under the candlelight, Chu Yuzhao's face was paler than usual, and his lips had no blood color, which made his eyebrows and eyes darker, cold and sharp.
Hong Si hung the wet cloak he took off at the tent mouth, poured a bowl of soup and medicine, and handed it over.
Chu Yuzhao looked down at the bowl of dark brown concoction, took it without saying a word, raised his head and drank it clean.
"Ahem." Before the bowl left his lips, he coughed violently again, and two blushes appeared abnormally on his pale face.
Hong Si took the empty bowl, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, after drinking these wind-cold medicines, the dragon's body is not getting better. No matter how famous the local folk doctor is, he will not be able to catch up with the imperial doctor in the palace. Go back to the palace. Let the imperial doctor take a look at it later."
"It's okay." Chu Yuzhao waved his hand, "It's because I've been too tired for the past few days. I'll be fine when I go back to the palace tomorrow and take a rest."
After drinking the medicine, I went to bed. Although it was a rainy night in the forest with low temperature, it was summer after all, and the tent was very warm.Chu Yuzhao lay down on the tiger skin, covered his eyes with a thin blanket, and Hong Si leaned against the door of the tent to rest, holding the never-leaving sword in his arms.
The sudden dense raindrops fell on the roof of the tent, making a pattering sound. Although the movement was loud, it was so boring that it made people tired.Because it was in the wild, Hong Si didn't dare to fall asleep. Between half asleep and half awake, he always kept a trace of clarity in his mind, paying attention to the movements around him.
Chu Yuzhao didn't sleep so peacefully, and coughed a few times from time to time. At this time, Hong Si would open his eyes and look worriedly at the direction where he was lying.
This time when he went to inspect the disaster situation, Chu Yuzhao started coughing, and the best doctor in the area carefully prescribed a prescription to treat the wind and cold.But he drank it for several days, and his cough didn't stop, but his complexion became worse and worse.
Chu Yuzhao was coughing again in his sleep, Hongsi held the long sword in his arms and did not move, but opened his eyes and looked towards the direction where Chu Yuzhao was lying.
The emperor had a habit of keeping a clump of light when he slept, so candles were still lit in the tent to illuminate everything clearly.
Chu Yuzhao slept deeply, frowning tightly, even when he was in a deep sleep, he had a serious face, but there was nothing unusual about it.
Hong Si relaxed his mind and looked away, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a black shadow in the corner of his eyes, lying on the emperor's shoulder.
He was startled, the drowsiness dissipated immediately, and he turned his head while holding the sword hilt, but saw that there was nothing dark there, only the light and shadow of the dancing candlelight.
Hong Si stood up and scanned the tent vigilantly.The tent is not big, and there is no furniture, and the entire field of vision can be seen at a glance, and there are indeed no dark shadows.
He sat down suspiciously, and hugged the sword again. After thinking for a while, there was no result, so he had to think that he had misread it, so he closed his eyes and continued to rest.
But he always felt that something was wrong, and at a certain moment he would suddenly open his eyes and look in Chu Yuzhao's direction.
The heavy rain gradually subsided, and the tent was very quiet, only Chu Yuzhao's faint breathing was heard.
After doing this several times, Hong Si was about to fall asleep, and when he half-closed his eyes and looked at Chu Yuzhao for the last time, he was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him, his pupils constricted instantly, and his breathing almost stagnated.
I saw a group of small human-shaped black shadows, bending and kneeling, lying on Chu Yuzhao's shoulder.As if sensing Hong Si's gaze, he slowly raised his head. Although there were no facial features on that face, Hong Si felt that he was looking at him right now.
Hong Si didn't have time to think about what it was, with a clang, the long sword was unsheathed, and the sharp blade stabbed at the black shadow.
However, a sword pierced through the air, and the black shadow suddenly disappeared out of thin air, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Chu Yuzhao opened his eyes at this moment. He looked at Hong Si who had just retracted his sword, and saw that he was looking around the tent vigilantly. He immediately turned over and jumped up. Out of a long sword.
"What happened?" Chu Yuzhao also looked around the tent and asked sharply.
The guards living in the tent next door are all masters, and they rushed over after hearing the movement.
"There are unknown assassins, leave four of them to guard His Majesty, and others will search this forest with me."
The Red Four gave a brief explanation, then raised their swords out of the tent and rushed into the woods. Except for the remaining four, the others followed.
The candlelight was lit, and Chu Yuzhao sat down in the tent, staring at the front, but thinking about something.There was an inconspicuous stabbing pain in his left shoulder. He opened the collar with his fingers and looked in, and found that there was a group of small bruises on his shoulder at some point.
If you look closely, the bruises look like a row of teeth marks, and the teeth are broken and small, as if left by a child of a few years old.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Hong Si rushed in panting.
Chu Yuzhao straightened his collar and replied, "I'm fine."
"Commander Hong, what happened just now? Did you catch the assassin in the woods?" asked a guard who stayed in the tent.
"Not caught, the person has disappeared."
Hong Si glanced at Chu Yuzhao, and worried that there were guards all around him, so he didn't say much.
After there were only two people left in the tent, Hong Si explained the situation just now with some shame.
His sword was easily out of its sheath, but he never missed it once it was out of the sheath. This time it seemed that he had stabbed the target, but let alone an assassin, there was not even a drop of blood. He felt ashamed and a little weird.
Seeing that Chu Yuzhao was silent and did not speak, Hong Si said anxiously again: "Your Majesty, could it be that this subordinate's vision is wrong?"
After all, he was drowsy at that time, and there was only one candle in the tent, so it was very possible that his eyes would be dazzled.
After a while, Chu Yuzhao said: "If there is an assassin lying on my shoulder, I won't be unaware. You must have been too tired these days and misjudged it. When you return to the palace at dawn, you will be allowed two days off." , go and relax by yourself."
"Yes, Hong Si thanked His Majesty." Hong Si saluted.
Chu Yuzhao didn't speak any more, just lay down on the tiger skin and continued to rest. It was still early in the morning, so he could sleep for a while.
But after lying down, he stroked the bruise on his shoulder with one hand, and his eyes showed a bit of deep thought.
.
Early in the morning, Luo Bai got up, washed his face and changed his clothes under Yuan Fu's service.
"What kind of hair do you want to use today, young master?" Yuan Fu opened the wooden box containing only the small jade crown and jade hairpin as usual, and let Luo Bai choose by himself.
Luo Bai casually pointed, "That's all for today."
Anyway, the beautiful brother is not here, and I can't see him, so what's the difference between wearing a small jade crown or a jade hairpin?
Yuan Fu took out the jade hairpin, combed his soft black hair with a wooden comb, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll put a hairpin in for you today."
After combing his hair and washing his face, Luo Bai put on a light blue gown again, with a moiré belt of the same color tied around his waist, making his lips even redder, his teeth whiter, and his eyebrows picturesque.
Yuan Fu looked at him and praised him from the bottom of his heart: "Our young master is born handsome. The folks say that Chen Wumei is the best young master. I think it's because they haven't seen you before. Otherwise, the best young master will never be the same. He has to be Chen Wumei."
— Just don't talk.
Yuan Fu was not completely blinded by partiality, and knew that Luo Bai could not speak.
"Yeah, I'm so beautiful, I'm the most beautiful Elvis Presley." Luo Bai twisted his body triumphantly in front of the mirror, and immediately spoke.
The desire to win in Yuan Fu's heart was instantly extinguished.
