worthless [rebirth]

After lunch, Jiang Chao arranged a carriage for Chen Ling and two to return to the palace. The carriage when they left the palace was too small. Chen Ling was injured, and sitting in a small space for a long time was not conducive to recovery.

The blood from Chen Ling's wound stopped a little. Although it was still oozing out, it was not serious anymore.

"Is the pain serious?" In the carriage, Jiang Chi looked at Chen Ling's still pale face, frowned slightly, and asked softly.

Just as Chen Ling shook his head, he bit his lower lip and nodded slightly when he met Jiang Chi's concerned eyes, saying, "It's a little..."

"Fool." Jiang Chi sighed helplessly. He sat next to Chen Ling, put his hands on his shoulders and circled him in his arms, and said, "It won't be allowed in the future, you know?"

"What... what?" Seeing Jiang Chi sitting over suddenly, Chen Ling was guessing what the other party was going to do, so he was inevitably distracted.

Jiang Chi didn't care, and just said in a low voice: "In the future, you are not allowed to do such dangerous things as blocking arrows. If something happens to you, what should I do?"

"..." Chen Ling didn't know how to answer, because he never thought of defending Jiang Chi's arrows, he just did it unconsciously yesterday out of desperation.Later, Chen Ling analyzed rationally. If he was given time to think, maybe his reason would overcome his impulse, and maybe he would sit idly by and let Jiang Chi get hurt.

In fact, this was just an excuse for Chen Ling to deceive himself. He didn't want to feel sorry for himself in his previous life, but often the first choices he made without thinking were the most true reflections of a person's heart.

Jiang Chi was a little scared. What if Qin Shan's arrow hit Chen Ling's heart instead of Chen Ling's shoulder, or Qin Shan didn't deliver the antidote to Chen Ling's poison in time... Jiang Chi couldn't imagine these things, He didn't know if he would still live alone if Chen Ling was gone.

Jiang Chi knew at the first sight of Chen Ling that he had an inexplicable obsession with the boy on the tower, so no matter how imprisoned or even hurt, he did not hesitate to imprison Chen Ling by his side.

Jiang Chi has always regarded that kind of evil passion/desire as his best.

However, last night when facing the dying Chen Ling and being helpless, Jiang Chi realized how wrong he was.He really couldn't bear to see Chen Ling suffer a little bit of harm. He couldn't imagine if Chen Ling died, would he go to hell with him or go completely crazy.

But what Jiang Chi couldn't accept was that in the past year or so, all the injuries Chen Ling suffered were thanks to him.

"I'm sorry." This was the second time Jiang Chi apologized to him so solemnly after Chen Ling fell into a coma last night.

"What are you apologizing for?" Chen Ling raised his head slightly, his dark eyes were shining wetly, reflecting his pale face.

"It's okay." Jiang Chi smiled, without clearly stating the reason for his apology, slightly lowered his head and kissed Chen Ling's fluttering eyelashes, and said seriously, "I like you."

"..." The other party said so seriously, Chen Ling knew that he should be serious no matter what, but after hearing Jiang Chi's polite "I love you", he still couldn't help but laugh, and rolled his eyes Said: "Why do you suddenly speak sourly like the hero in the playbook?"

"..." Jiang Chi was stunned for a moment, then laughed too, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there?"

Chen Ling nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Chi smiled, "I just thought of it suddenly and said, if you don't like it, I won't use it to hurt you in the future."

Chen Ling said: "I didn't say I didn't like it..." After the words, there was no sound. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Chi's face full of pride. He met Jiang Chi with a slightly teasing gaze.

"Like it?" Jiang Chi seemed to be in high spirits, and he became reluctant, his lips pressed against Chen Ling's earlobe, and exhaled softly, "Zi Ling...then...do you like me?"

"..." Chen Ling's face froze, and the relief in his heart just now was wiped out by Jiang Chi's words.Chen Ling pursed his lips and hesitated. The hands on his lap had been clenched tightly together at some point, and the light blue blood vessels on the back of his hands were slightly bulging due to the strength.He has been reluctant to think about this question, because he dare not and cannot say the answer, and nothing will happen in the future. He has suffered such a serious injury, and now it happens again, the awareness of self-protection will let him make every decision Be careful in front of you.

Noticing Chen Ling's stiffness, Jiang Chi already guessed the answer, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, what he liked seemed to be a "stone that is not easy to warm".Pulling Chen Ling's fists together, Jiang Chi rubbed his fingers away one by one.

Chen Ling turned his head, met Jiang Chi's gentle gaze, and when he saw the disappointment deep in the other's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, "Ah Chi...I..."

"Don't say it if you don't want to, why torture yourself." Jiang Chi sighed helplessly in his voice.

Chen Ling lowered his head and saw teeth-shaped marks on the palms that he had pinched for several months, and one of them was oozing blood.

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival." Chen Ling withdrew his hand, and his eyes were embarrassed, and he didn't know where it fell. He opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw a group of young and strong men with shirtless arms carrying two dragon boats to the side of the moat. Walking in the direction, remember that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the day of dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings to commemorate Qu Yuan.

Jiang Chi glanced out the window and said, "Do you want to watch the dragon boat race?"

"I just heard before that there is no such activity in the palace, only among the people." Chen Ling said, his eyes were fixed on the two slender boats with a dragon's head. The boats were painted in two colors of vermilion and gold , decorated with red and yellow ribbons, and the dragon head on the bed was also carved lifelike. Chen Ling thought that if the dragon boat was moving fast in the water, it must have the feeling of a flying dragon in the sky.

"Stop." Jiang Chi said to the groom outside.

Chen Ling looked at Jiang Chi in surprise.

"Go if you want to see it. It's rare to come out of the palace once." Jiang Chi said, "It's just that you are injured. There are many people watching the dragon boat race on the river bank. I'm worried that someone will squeeze you."

"No, I'll just take care of myself." Chen Ling said hurriedly.

Jiang Chi smiled, and took his hand, "You must follow me every step of the way for a while, and you are not allowed to get separated."

"Yeah." Chen Ling nodded, and took Jiang Chi's big hand back.

The two got out of the carriage and followed the dragon boat racers to the river. When they got there, they could see that both sides of the embankment were already full of people. No matter men, women, old or young, poor or rich, everyone was in high spirits.

This is no wonder, after all, there is only one dragon boat race every year, not only because of the large number of people watching, but also because more than a dozen dragon boats are chasing each other on the water during the race, which is very interesting, especially for each team. When shouting the chant, the loud voice reverberates on the water for a long time. No matter the people watching or participating in the competition, they will feel extremely excited at that time.

This is only from the perspective of the people on the shore. For those rowing on the water, the dragon boat race will be more attractive, because if they come out on top, everyone in this team will get a reward of ten taels of silver. The money is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for half a year.

In addition to those who watch and participate in dragon boat races, there is another kind of people who mention the excitement of dragon boat races, and that is gamblers.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, people on both sides of the river embankment will set up a game on the spot to bet on which team will win, and if the bet is correct, they will get three or four times the return of the bet.

Maybe Jiang Chi's temperament is too cold and hard, and even if he doesn't put on the emperor's airs after being the emperor for a long time, the imperial coercion on his body will still exist more or less, so he made the crowd unconsciously give way to them without any effort After walking down a road, he helped Chen Ling find a more suitable place to watch the dragon boat race.

Twelve dragon boats have been lowered into the water, and each of the shoulder-stretched young men held a paddle in their hands. They only listened to the order of the host, and all of them rowed forward desperately but in an orderly manner with a loud roar. .

At the beginning, the distance between each dragon boat was not far apart. Chen Ling only saw a piece of golden yellow mixed with gorgeous red, with ribbons fluttering, which was very festive and lively.The people on the shore were very excited and shouted for Gu Wei for the team they supported.

Halfway through the race, the dragon boat teams that were originally gathered together were gradually pulled apart. Those who rowed fast were approaching the finish line, while those who rowed slowly were still struggling halfway.

When some people saw that they had bet on the wrong team and would lose money, they not only cursed out of anger, but also laughed from ear to ear when they thought they were about to make a fortune.

"Zi Ling, which dragon boat do you think will win?" Amidst the noise, Jiang Chi could only hear Chen Ling clearly by pressing his ear.

Chen Ling stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, and said, "Now there are two dragon boats approaching the finish line, and the others are far behind, so No. 1 should be one of them. The current No. .1 has been No. 2 for a while, and No. [-] seems to be difficult to surpass, so... it should be the first dragon boat to reach the finish line first."

"..." Jiang Chi looked at Chen Ling with a smile, but didn't speak.

Chen Ling thought that Jiang Chi would say "agree" or "disagree", but he didn't expect the other party to say nothing, so he muttered a little.Frowning slightly, he looked at the two boats in front again, but found something different.

"No, the second boat should win." Chen Ling changed his words.

"What do you know, the first boat must win!" A brawny man who bet on the first boat next to him scolded dissatisfiedly when he heard what Chen Ling said.

Jiang Chi said "oh", raised his eyebrows at Chen Ling with a smile, and motioned for him to continue.

Regardless of the strong man, Chen Ling replied: "Look, the rhythm of the rowing of the people on the first dragon boat is no longer consistent with that of the rest of the team. If each rower can't coordinate their efforts, the speed of the boat will be very fast. It will slow down. The people on the second dragon boat are just the opposite. Although they were a little behind at first, but now their movements are uniform and their speed seems to be faster. I think... as long as the remaining distance is long enough, they will definitely Will follow."

"Well said." Jiang Chi praised Chen Ling without hesitation, with admiration in his eyes.

Chen Ling was a little embarrassed, and smiled lightly with her lips pursed.

Hearing what Chen Ling said so logically, the strong man began to wonder if he had really made a wrong bet, but he still gave Chen Ling a hard look, and said a cruel sentence without confidence, "What do you know..."

"..."

"..."

Jiang Chi and Chen Ling looked at each other, and at the same time showed embarrassing yet helpless smiles.

"Okay~Okay~"

At this time, there was a burst of cheers on the shore. It turned out that the game was over, and Chen Ling's analysis was not bad at all. The boat that was originally second surpassed the one in front by one dragon's head at the last moment, narrowly winning.

After the game was over, the two walked back slowly.

"We should have made a bet if we knew earlier." Jiang Chi laughed.

"Gambling hurts your health, you should order a ban on gambling," Chen Ling said.

"You can't say that." Jiang Chi said slowly: "The life of the common people is not as rich as that of the officials and businessmen, and the life of the officials and businessmen is not as free and easy as the common people. Everyone has their own unsatisfactory needs to vent or anesthetize themselves, sometimes like casino brothels. Places, what should be pretended to be invisible is still invisible. Without these, those people will find other things or places to have fun, and it may be more difficult to control. So as long as things are not too much, you should keep your eyes open Those who close one eye, just let it go."

"En." After Jiang Chi's call, Chen Ling understood that some things exist for a certain reason. Even if it disappears, there will always be another thing to replace it and continue to exist.

"Are you tired after walking for so long?" Thinking of Chen Ling's injuries, Jiang Chi stopped and asked, "Do you want to take a rest?"

"I'm fine." Chen Ling said.

Jiang Chi never believed in Chen Ling's "it's okay", the other party always downplayed his true state, but Jiang Chi preferred that Chen Ling let him go completely, say what he wanted, and don't always be afraid look.

Jiang Chi even felt that there was a lot of care behind Chen Ling's smile.

Jiang Chi didn't understand, just getting along with him in the past half a year, even if he really went too far in certain things, Chen Ling shouldn't be so afraid of him.

"Ah..." Sighing softly, Jiang Chi went over to hug Chen Ling with half distress and half helplessness.

"Huh?" Chen Ling was startled, stared at Jiang Chi with some guard, and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"

"Take you away."

Those three words were so powerful that Chen Ling couldn't refute them.

Knowing that Jiang Chi couldn't be held back, Chen Ling didn't struggle, and just leaned in Jiang Chi's arms honestly and let him hold her.

There was a hole pierced through the shoulder, and no one could bear the pain.Chen Ling was just a mortal, so he would naturally be in pain. It was just because of his temper. His endurance was better than that of ordinary people, so he could hold on.

The more Chen Ling was like this, the more Jiang Chi felt distressed.

"Do you want to eat zongzi?" Seeing a lot of people around a zongzi stall not far away, it seemed that the zongzi was delicious, Jiang Chi asked Chen Ling as he walked.

"I'm not hungry yet." Chen Ling said, "But you should eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Jiang Chi frowned: "If you want to eat, just say you want to eat."

"..." Chen Ling said weakly, "I want to eat..."

"..." Jiang Chi looked at Chen Ling who was holding his head down in his arms, and sighed, "I really can't do anything with you. After a while, I was so courageous that I wanted to talk back to me, and even hit my head with a jade pillow. Looking aggrieved, Ziling...what do you think I should do to you?"

Chen Ling: "..."

"Forget it." Jiang Chi didn't expect Chen Ling to answer one, two, three, and walked under a tree. Jiang Chi sat Chen Ling on a rock under the tree and said, "People who buy rice dumplings Too many squeezed into the wound will be troublesome, I will buy it, you sit here and wait for me to come back."

"Okay." Chen Ling nodded, watching Jiang Chi walk towards the crowd.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling..."

Not long after Jiang Chi left, Chen Ling suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him. At first he thought he heard it wrong and didn't care, but the voice was always there, and even made him anxious later.

Chen Ling turned around, only to see Qin Shan hiding behind a big tree hugged by two people, poking his head out to call him.

Surprised, Chen Ling got up and walked over, "Brother Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Shan didn't answer in a hurry, but took Chen Ling's arm to look him up and down, and asked hurriedly: "Have you taken the antidote? The injury is not serious. Is there any discomfort now?" ?”

"I'm fine." Chen Ling said, breaking away from Qin Shan without a trace, taking half a step back to widen the close distance between the two, and asking again in a low voice: "Why did you appear here, you shouldn't come Yes, Jiang Chi will never let you go."

"I followed your carriage all the way from Prince Jin's Mansion, Xiao Ling, I want to rescue you!" Qin Shan said, grabbing Chen Ling's arm and pulling him to leave.

"Ah!" Qin Shan pulled his left hand, pulling at the wound, and Chen Ling's face immediately turned pale from the pain.

Qin Shan was startled, and quickly let go of his hand, saying: "I'm sorry, I touched your wound. I just wanted to kill that dog emperor Jiang Chi, but I didn't expect to hurt you."

"It's just a bit of a tug, I... I'm fine." Chen Ling bit the mountain; and.彡; Xi Ya endured the pain, but his shoulder felt hot. He knew that the wound must have opened again, so he shook his head. Chen Ling said with difficulty, "Brother Qin, hurry up... Jiang Chi went to buy zongzi, and he will be back soon. If he finds you, you won't be able to leave."

"If we want to go, we go together." Qin Shandao, this time he pulled Chen Ling's right hand, and ran with him.

"You...why don't you understand, Jiang Chi has promised me that what happened yesterday will not be blamed, you still have time to leave, otherwise, neither of us will be able to leave." Chen Ling said, he couldn't even walk anymore, Qin Shan still stubbornly dragged him away, but Chen Ling staggered, his eyes darkened.

"Promise you?" Qin Shan was taken aback, stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Ling with a strange look, and said, "Why would he agree to you? You made a deal with him? Why did he threaten you? He ..."

Chen Ling was panting heavily, when he heard Qin Shan's series of questioning, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he frowned and said, "Can you stop thinking of people so dirty, Jiang Chi didn't threaten me, and we didn't make a deal , he promised that as long as you don't continue to assassinate him, he will let you go."

"His Royal Highness, don't forget your identity!" Qin Shan's expression was full of anger, and there was a trace of other things, "As a Li countryman, why do you still speak for that dog emperor?"

"I'm just discussing the matter." Chen Ling said, although his body was weak, but the look in his eyes was firm and unquestionable, "General Qin, do you not even listen to Bengong now? Bengong asked you to come back immediately Leave the country!"

"You..." Qin Shan looked at Chen Ling in disbelief, "Do you know why Jiang Chi took you to the family carnival yesterday? Do you know how much eyeliner he put on at the carnival? You know that if I hadn't run fast yesterday, I would have already Dead? Do you know what a despicable and shameless person Jiang Chi is?"

"All I know is that if you hadn't assassinated him yesterday, none of this would have happened." Chen Ling said flatly, "Also, even if you were caught, Jiang Chi would not kill you easily."

Because that person once said that he would never hurt the person he cherishes.

Chen Ling knew that he couldn't and shouldn't believe what Jiang Chi said, but he still remembered this sentence, and now it suddenly popped up in his mind for no reason.

"Do you love him?" Qin Shan stared at Chen Ling for a while, and slowly came to this conclusion, with some unwillingness in his eyes, "Because I love him, I am willing to block arrows for him, and I am willing to leave even if I have the opportunity now." I go?"

"This is Jianguo, where can I escape?" Chen Ling smiled wryly.

I don't know whether to laugh at myself being cornered by Jiang Chi, or to laugh at myself deceiving myself and others, but I don't want to admit that I love her.

Looking at Chen Ling's bleak smile, Qin Shan finally stopped insisting, and with a trace of loneliness, he turned around and said in a low voice: "In this case, I will let the other generals return to the emperor, and talk about the plan to assassinate Jiang Chi." Temporarily blocked, look for opportunities later.”

"What about you?" Chen Ling said, "Aren't you going back?"

"..." Qin Shan didn't answer.

Jiang Chi bought the zongzi and went back under the tree to find that Chen Ling was not there, his heart ached.Didn't you agree to wait for him? Why did he disappear?Was he caught or did he leave by himself?

Could it be that there was an assassin hiding in the crowd, and he had been so nice to Chen Ling all this way and attracted the attention of the other party, that's why he took Chen Ling away, but Chen Ling had such serious injuries, how could he stand up to the torture.

But what if Chen Ling left by himself?The other party had always wanted to run away and leave him. He shouldn't... shouldn't have taken Chen Ling out of the palace. He should have found a cage and locked him up so that he couldn't escape.

But...can't do it, he can't do it anymore, he is not willing to be hurt, not willing to be imprisoned in the name of love...

"Chen Ling! Where are you?" Jiang Chi put the zongzi into his arms, and ran around on the embankment looking for Chen Ling's voice. He pulled passers-by, and asked them if they had seen a The young man in a moon-white robe tried his best to describe Chen Ling's appearance in as perfect a language as possible. He was crazy and asked everyone he saw, but was disappointed again and again.

Chen Ling... let's really go...

"Chen Ling!!!" Jiang Chi stood in the crowd and shouted loudly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.Unable to get a response, he lowered his head dejectedly, when a very soft voice came from behind him, with a hint of trembling.

"Ah... late..."

Jiang Chi's whole body froze until he realized that it was Chen Ling's voice, then he turned around dully, and ran over ecstatically when he saw Chen Ling, pulling him into his arms and wrapping him tightly.

"Where have you been...Where have you been...Zi Ling, Zi Ling..." Jiang Chi buried his head on Chen Ling's neck, rubbing against each other affectionately, breathing in the air with Chen Ling's breath in his mouth, his empty heart seemed to be All of a sudden it was refilled.

"I just... walked around." Chen Ling said, the wound on his shoulder had already opened, and Chen Ling had exhausted all his strength to walk back, but Jiang Chi was so excited that he didn't notice Chen Ling's weakness.

"I thought... I thought..." God knows just now that he thought Chen Ling had left by himself, Jiang Chi was so afraid that he trembled.

Chen Ling said, "What do you think... um..." Before he could finish speaking, someone stopped him.

"Don't leave me, okay..." After the kiss was over, Jiang Chi pressed Chen Ling's forehead almost begging.

Chen Ling felt a little pain in his heart. He smiled weakly, leaned into Jiang Chi's arms, and said weakly, "I'm not leaving...I...I'm not coming back..."

"Chen Ling?" Jiang Chi realized that something was wrong with Chen Ling. Before he could embrace Chen Ling, the other party had already slid down slowly, "Chen Ling!" Jiang Chi was startled, and quickly caught him before paying attention. The cloth up to Chen Ling's shoulders was soaked with blood.

"What's going on here?" Jiang Chi picked up Chen Ling horizontally, not daring to delay, and walked quickly towards the carriage.

"The wound opened for no reason just now. I wanted to go to you and tell you...but there were too many people...I couldn't find you, Chi." Chen Ling said weakly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone." Jiang Chi said distressedly.

Chen Ling smiled and didn't speak anymore. He felt that he had become bad, and his lies became more and more slippery, and every time he lied, he could earn Jiang Chi a lot of guilt.

"Is it because you, a poor scholar, that the emperor takes care of all kinds of affairs every day? Is it because you, a poor scholar, just see you? You still have to sue! Go back to your Chaozhou, the emperor has no time to take care of your trivial matters!"

When getting into the carriage, Jiang Chi vaguely heard someone arguing behind him, and even mentioned the word "Emperor", so he subconsciously looked back, and saw a few officials in the distance arrogantly blocking the way of a scholar in Tsing Yi , the scholar was beaten to the ground, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand, but Jiang Chi was too far away to be sure what happened.

Chen Ling's wound was open and blood was bleeding and he had to go back to the palace immediately. Jiang Chi didn't dare to delay, so he ignored the scholar's affairs and carried Chen Ling into the car.

"The people of Chaozhou entrusted me, Cao, with a heavy responsibility. I vowed to meet the emperor and sue Wang Anzhi, that dog official! The sky is bright and the sky is bright, I don't believe that you officials and officials can protect each other for a while, but how can you protect them for a lifetime!"

The cyan gown was covered with mud and blood from beatings. Cao Xun was in a mess, but his eyes were full of determination and unyielding.
