Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Su Yan walked out of the cave, casually broke a branch to make a hairpin, and tied it in a loose Taoist bun.

In the hollow of the nearby rocks, he found a lot of accumulated rainwater, because it just fell last night, it looked very clear and fresh, so he leaned over and drank it directly, and picked a few big leaves to make a bowl shape , took some rainwater and took it back to the cave.

Jing Hongzhui sat cross-legged on the rock, meditating with her eyes closed.His upper body was bare, and he crumpled his still damp coat between his legs.

Su Yan guessed that it was because it was wet clothes that made her feel uncomfortable - if she had a whole body of flesh, she would have a sense of accomplishment with such a shirtless figure, but unfortunately, Bai Zhanji should continue to wear wet clothes.

He looked at Jing Hongzhui's complexion, and felt that he was not very optimistic, his complexion was pale, his lips were almost bloodless, and the corners of his lips were dry and peeling.

Su Yan hurriedly sat on the stone bed, wanting to ask Ah Zhui to drink water, and suddenly remembered that in the martial arts movies that he had watched, if a martial arts practitioner was disturbed while adjusting his breath, it might lead to a loss of energy in his performance and madness. He shouldn't have been woken.

The water in the leaf bowl was dripping down, and it was about to leak out, so Su Yan had no choice but to bring the tip of the leaf to his mouth to see if he could subconsciously drink some water.

As soon as the water touched her lips, Jing Hongzhui opened her eyes.

The ice-like eyes of the cold star were close at hand, cold and beautiful, Su Yan seemed to be bewitched by the gravitational force like a nebula whirlpool, and unconsciously held his breath to stare.He couldn't think, he could only be intoxicated, almost dazzled.

Jing Hong chased after his hand, drank the clear water in the leaf bowl little by little, and spoke with a hoarse voice: "My lord, breathe."

Su Yan suddenly came back to his senses, took a long breath, and his cheeks were blushing due to lack of oxygen: "Ah, your eyes are really—" He swallowed the word "weird" back, and changed the word, "It's amazing, it almost made me cry!" I'm stuck."

"It's caused by the skills I practiced. People in the Jianghu call the technique of Nightmare Phantom the sorcerer's magic, but it's not as exaggerated as they think. It's just that when the eyes make contact, the opponent's consciousness will be temporarily confused, which is convenient for the assassination That’s all.” Jing Hongzhui explained without hesitation, “It was the subordinate’s fault that he didn’t control well when he received his power, his breath leaked out, and frightened the lord.”

Su Yan shook his head, "I'm not scared, it's just..." He laughed and laughed at himself: "I'm fascinated. If you come to kill me, just look at me and it will be done."

Jing Hongzui frowned, her cold face couldn't hide the sadness in her tone: "Why did you say that, do you still think that I am an assassin who doesn't know right from wrong, as long as you give me money, anyone can strike? My lord is still on guard against me to this day ?”

Su Yan also realized that the joke went too far.Normally, Ah Zhui would just protest shyly when making jokes like "little concubine".Su Yan hurriedly took his hand and apologized: "It's my fault, I won't make such jokes anymore, Ah Zhui, don't be angry."

Jing Hongzhui sighed silently, "This subordinate has never been angry with your lord, and never will. I just hope that your lord will remember that no matter what the circumstances, I will never hurt you."

"I know, I believe. Then this page will be turned, okay?" Su Yan smiled and squeezed his hand like a rubber, feeling the calluses on his knuckles and finger roots, thinking wildly, salt and pepper Palm Treasure is so delicious... Mommy is so hungry.

Jing Hong's ears were burning hot, but she was reluctant to withdraw her hand, letting him rub it back and forth, when she suddenly heard a groaning sound in his stomach, and immediately realized: from noon yesterday to now, I haven't eaten a grain of rice, and I'm better After all, he is a Lianjiazi, and it is common for him to starve for three or four days during training, but Mr. Su is young and weak, and has never suffered such hardships, so how can he bear it.

Quickly got up and said: "This subordinate went out to find some food and came back, my lord will wait a moment."

Su Yan said: "When I went out of the cave to fetch water, I took a look around. It was a desolate valley, extremely barren. Not to mention birds and beasts, I couldn't even see a wild fruit tree. The river at the bottom of the valley flooded last night, and the water was swift and muddy. , It’s all mud and sand, I’m afraid you won’t be able to catch any fish. Forget it, you’d better continue to exercise your skills to heal your injuries, and when your internal strength recovers, take me away quickly.”

Jing Hong had just meditated and adjusted her breath just now, and she didn't even complete a big cycle.He knew that the injury in the lower back was not the point, the key was the excessive blood loss, the blood in the body was exhausted, and the meridians were like a dry riverbed, how could he generate sufficient internal force.

But fortunately, this is not a difficult injury, as long as you eat and rest, replenish your vitality, the essence and blood in your body can slowly regenerate.

He reckoned that even if he only drank water and did not eat, he would be able to recover [-]-[-]% of his internal strength after resting for another twelve hours at most, which was enough to take Mr. Su out of this deep valley.

However, it doesn't matter if he is hungry, but Master Su cannot continue to starve.With this in mind, Jing Hongzhui insisted on getting off the stone bed—that unsuitably hard root finally softened, and he was relieved to avoid embarrassment in front of Master Su again, and put on the tattered coat that was hanging between his legs. turn around.

"My lord, wait for a while, and the subordinates will go back."

Before Su Yan could say anything to persuade him to be careful of his injuries, the figure of the other party had already disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

Holding the idea that perhaps Ah Zhui could really catch some wild animal, Su Yan rummaged through the dead branches and leaves piled up on the cave floor, hoping to find a dry kindling.

Although the Huozhe was soaked by the river and could no longer be used, he had a fire scythe, which was originally hung on his waist with the jade pendant. The jade pendant was smashed when it rolled down the steep slope, but the fire scythe was still intact.

This gold-plated fire sickle with the pattern of a silver owl kissing the waves was given to him by Shen Qi before he left Beijing. It is not only a daily necessities, but also an ornament.The entire fire sickle is only three fingers wide, in the shape of a small axe. The curved steel bar at the bottom is used to start fire, and the leather pouch with a silver hoop is attached to the top. The pouch contains tinder and a small piece of flint. There is a magnetic buckle at the opening, which is a bit Like the women's kun bag of later generations, it is still a super mini model.The surface is inlaid with agate, red coral and turquoise, carved with exquisite patterns, and even the hanging ropes are made of silver, which is very gorgeous.

Su Yan had never seen this thing in his previous life. When he first got it, he played with it for a while, and asked Shen Qi: "It looks very expensive. What should I return to be polite?"

Shen Qi had a half-smile but not a smile: "It's a custom in the two capitals, this is one of the betrothal gifts for engagement. You just need to return a pair of red lacquered chopsticks, and you'll get the prize of 'give birth quickly'."

Su Yan pouted at him: "Dream you! What have you been thinking about all day long!" Throwing the scythe back.

Shen Qi threatened to "rape you" again, forcing him to accept it.

After leaving Beijing, there are servants and guards to take care of his basic necessities, and this fire scythe has been hung on his waist as an ornament, and he didn't want to come in handy at this moment.

The tinder in the small bag that came with the scythe was useless when it got wet, but luckily, there was no rain in the cave, so he found some dry and flammable plant fibers, struck sparks with steel rods and flints, lit the kindling, Eventually a small bonfire spawns.

While carefully adding dead branches to the fire, Su Yan took off his coat and baked it, laughing at himself that he finally got rid of the predicament of eating blood in ancient times and evolved into the Stone Age.It's a pity that I couldn't find any kindling in the dark last night, otherwise I wouldn't have to endure the whole night with a humanoid ice cube.

Half an hour later, Jing Hong chased back to the cave, and brought a bagful of berries, and two peeled and cleaned snakes, which were as thick as forearms.Seeing Su Yan start a fire, he was both happy and regretful: "This valley is really barren, there is not even a wild boar. Only two snakes were caught. Do you dare to eat snake meat?"

Su Yan asked him back: "What is the 'worm' in the word 'Min'?"

Jing Hong chased for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's a long worm. It turns out that Fujian people are experts in eating snakes."

Su Yan smiled: "Fujian people can eat snakes, but they are not as good as Cantonese people. Cantonese people eat everything, and it is said that they eat snakes."

Jing Hong chased his story seriously, and persuaded: "The Lingnan area is so barbaric, my lord, don't go there in the future."

"But I like to eat lychees from the Lingnan concubine, what should I do?"

"Subordinates go down there and buy them, and they will be delivered by flying cavalry day and night."

While chatting, Jing Hongzhui roasted the snake parts on the fire, and gave the bigger one to Su Yan.Without salt or spices, it is naturally not as delicious as roasted rabbit sprinkled with pepper, salt and cumin powder, but the snake meat has a slightly fishy and sweet taste. Su Yan is hungry and eats it deliciously.

The berries are sour and sweet, and they can still be eaten. The two of them filled their stomachs to [-] to [-]%.

After drinking water and eating, Jing Hong's complexion improved, and her pale lips showed some blood, and she said to Su Yan: "You have to work hard, sir, stay with me in this cave for one more night, and tomorrow morning, I can take you with me." Get out of here, my lord."

Su Yan was concerned about the safety of Chu Yuan and other guards, as well as Xiaobei and Xiaojing, but at this moment, he could only keep his worries in his heart so as not to add psychological burden to Ah Zhui.

The afterglow of the setting sun at the entrance of the cave disappeared, and twilight fell again. While resting on the stone bed, Su Yan couldn't help but think wildly, thinking about how the emperor and prince would react in the capital if they heard the news that he had fallen off a cliff and disappeared.

The emperor was steady and rational, so he should still be able to hold his breath.The prince has a temper of a little overlord at that point, and I don't know if he will make a fuss and send someone to look for him.

I hope the kid won't have any conflicts with his father.

And Shen Qi.This ruthless spy chief, who is the only one who is soft-hearted and even protects him with his life, will be worried because of his disappearance?

When leaving Beijing, Shen Qi didn't come to see him off, so he was inexplicably lost for a long time.After questioning Gao Shuo, Gao Shuo only said that Mr. Qian was busy with government affairs and couldn't spare time temporarily.He was even more depressed when he heard it, and even had unspeakable resentment and sadness, but he couldn't figure out why he was sad, and finally simply put this idea behind him and didn't think about it.

When he used the fire sickle just now, he couldn't help but think of Shen Qi again, and accidentally knocked his finger and swollen it.

The finger was soaked in cold rainwater, and it was still aching. Su Yan put the finger in his mouth in a trance, and sighed silently.

Jing Hongzhui suddenly said: "My lord, don't worry too much, close your eyes and sleep well, it will be tomorrow. When we leave the valley, we will go back to Hengliangzi Town, and we will be able to join Chu Yuan and the others."

This is a little guilty.When he chased Master Su away, there were only two servants in the carriage, Chu Yuan, Gao Shuo, etc., less than ten Jin Yiwei left.And there are at least 70 to [-] Tatar cavalry left. If they can't break through and escape in time, I'm afraid it will be bad luck.

——I know it well, but I know it well, but I can only say good things in my mouth, trying to comfort Mr. Su so that he won't worry or feel sad.

In fact, Su Yan also knew that the situation was very bad at that time, and he didn't dare to think too much about the result, for fear that he would be depressed if he thought too much, so he could only pray for the auspicious person to have his own destiny.

He patted the rocks beside him, and said in a low voice, "Achai, come up to sleep."

The scene Jing Hongzhui saw when he woke up in the morning aroused the confusion and secret desire of "offending Mr. Su", and the latter made him even more lingering.Hearing this, his heart was beating wildly, and he refused bluntly: "No need, this subordinate can sit against the stone wall and meditate."

Su Yan ordered: "Come up! Don't make me say it a third time."

Jing Hong had no choice but to move over, touching half of her body on the edge of the stone bed.

"Lie down, sleep on your left side or on your stomach, don't press on the wound."

Su Yan saw that he was half-hanging on the edge and his body was tense, thinking that he was not used to sleeping with others, so he got up and said, "The wounded just lie here obediently, I will go to sleep by the fire, it will be warmer if I warm up. "

What kind of fire does summer night need, and the ground is bitten by insects and ants, Mr. Su is expensive, how can he sleep.Jing Hong hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, said submissively: "This stone bed is wide enough, my lord, go to sleep, I'll just lie down too."

Su Yan lay down again.Jing Hong lay on the left side after chasing him, seeing him unavoidably, her whole body was shrouded in dim yellow flames, like a jade carving coated with a hazy golden light.

"Go to sleep." Su Yan closed his eyes and said, "Replenish your energy, and after leaving the valley tomorrow, there is still a long way to go."

After he finished speaking, he didn't make any noise. After two quarters of an hour, his breathing gradually slowed down and he fell asleep.

Jing Hong chased Master Su who was looking at him without blinking, and the strong emotion surging in his chest almost burst out.After a while, he boldly stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the back of Su Yan's hand with his fingertips.

He originally wanted to use this bit of skin-to-skin contact to quell the fire of delusional thoughts that shouldn't be in his heart, but he didn't want to add fuel to the fire and make it even hotter.

His whole body was engulfed in flames from the inside to the outside, tormented by longing desires, he just wanted to touch a little more, just a little bit, and he was satisfied.

His rough and calloused fingertips trembled on Master Su's smooth and warm hand, as if he was facing an abyss, knowing that there would be eternal doom, but he felt the urge to jump all the time.

This life-sacrificing urge and strong sense of guilt were like two beasts with sharp teeth and sharp claws, tearing at his body and soul, and he felt the pain of being torn apart alive.

However, what is more unbearable than this pain is panic——

Jing Hongzhui, what exactly do you want to do to your benefactor and loyalist?It's not just a touch, it's not just a caress, it's not even a wanton and frivolous kiss.Do you want to tarnish your lord's innocence, make him fall into dust and moan Cheng Huan under another man, just like what that dog Qianhu Shen Qi you despised the most did? !

She retracted her fingers like a fire, and Jing Hong retreated after chasing her, almost falling off the stone bed.

This rock is too narrow to accommodate a greedy and infatuated infatuation, so he should go to the corner of the cave and give up on himself.

Su Yan murmured vaguely, turned around and lay on his side, and buried his face in his collarbone.

Jing Hong chased her stiffly for a long time, but in the end she was still reluctant to stand up, sniffing the sweet scent in Mrs. Su's hair, she couldn't help lowering her lips, and made a light imprint on the other's plump and smooth forehead.

His heart was pounding like it was going to pop out of his throat, and he closed his eyes and waited for the punishment to come, no matter whether it was from the opponent or the god.

However, the punishment did not come for a long time, Jing Hongzui opened his eyes.

In the shadows where the fire could not shine, he looked down at Su Yan's sleeping face, his eyes were pious and deep, as if a dark fire was burning under the ice.
