Jane Joe's knights have returned safely from the battlefield.
Seeing that the master received so many challenge letters, the knight commander immediately sent someone to inquire about the reason.
"It's Princess Chrissy." In the evening, the knight commander came back to report the situation worriedly, "Everyone can see the brand on Lord Lei Zhe's neck. He would rather be loyal to you, go to the battlefield instead of you, and almost died in On the battlefield, she did not want to stay in Grande and marry Princess Chrissy, which was a great disgrace to the Princess. So the Princess wrote to her admirers and cried."
The knight commander sighed: "Don't underestimate the charm of Princess Chrissy. Although Lord Lei Zhe looks down on her, her suitors are all over the Totes continent. And there are many of them who are as famous as Lord Lei Zhe. Warriors. When they receive letters from the princess, they will naturally try their best to serve the princess, which is why you have received more than a dozen challenges in a row."
The knight commander frowned and said, "I have good reason to suspect that Princess Chrissy did it on purpose. She wants you to die."
Jian Qiao neatly placed more than a dozen challenge books on the table and shook her head with a wry smile.
He didn't know the intention of Princess Chrissy. When he said goodbye to Lei Zhe on the city wall that day, he found out that Princess Chris hated himself.
She can't wait to kill this man who ruined her marriage!
While Queen Mo An quietly waited for the news of Jian Qiao's death, Princess Chris was also waiting. But Jane Qiao survived and is recovering day by day.
So she planned this wheel battle.
The dates of these dozen or so challenge books are all linked together, one a day, like a timetable. If Jane Qiao didn't die on the first day, someone would send him on the road every day after that. He didn't have a chance to breathe at all.
Jane Qiao picked up one of the challenge books, her fingertips trembled slightly, but her tone was extraordinarily firm: "Al, teach me swordsmanship. I want to survive, do you understand? I need to survive."
In the past, he lived only because of the fear of death. But now, he lives because he has someone to go with.
His life is gorgeous because of that person, and it also has meaning because of that person.
"I must survive!" Jane Qiao put down the challenge book and looked straight at the knight commander.
The knight commander was very embarrassed, "Your Excellency, you must understand that in just three days, it is impossible for you to practice swordsmanship well. It may be more useful for me to buy a thick armor for you. No, no, no, you can't wear armor, The armor is too heavy for you. You can't even move your legs when you put it on. You're a target. Your opponent can just pick off your helmet and stab you in the head."
The knight-commander spun around the room. He couldn't find any way to help his master break the game.
There is no escape, and those people will go after Dessolette. Moreover, when a deserter, the master's reputation will be destroyed, it is also death in another sense.
The knight commander tugged at his hair irritably.
The manservant who also went to inquire about the news hurried in and shouted excitedly: "My God, you can't imagine what happened outside! Just now, Lord Lei Zhe sent sixteen challenges in one go. Books! These people—"
The valet pointed to the letters on the table, his cheeks flushed, "These people have all received his challenge letter, not one of them is missed! He also scheduled the duel for this afternoon, and he wants to do it at the same time. Against sixteen people! My God! He's so brave!"
The valet's eyes were full of fervent admiration.
Jian Qiao jumped up in fright: "What did you say? Lei Zhe is going to duel with sixteen people at the same time?"
The knight commander was also stunned, but quickly comforted: "If it is Lord Lei Zhe, this should be nothing. When fighting on the battlefield, he is not facing sixteen people, but thousands of troops. Horse. He can come and go freely in such a situation, how can he lose to these so-called warriors who have a name for themselves. These people may not even see the beacon smoke on the battlefield. "
"But, but his wounds haven't healed yet!" Jian Qiao said with a pale face: "Where is the duel going? I'm going!"
The servant hurriedly reported the address.
Jane Qiao ran out without even wearing a coat, and hurried back after a while, taking away a never-used sword hanging on the wall.
This was originally just a decoration, maybe it could come in handy today. If Lei Zhe is in danger, he must rush to save him!
Jian Qiao thought very well and was well prepared, but when he arrived at the duel field, he realized that he was late.
The duel has long since ended, and only twos and threes of passers-by are still gathering to discuss.
"It's amazing, challenge 16 people in one go!"
"Lord Lei Zhe won so beautifully! He solved all his opponents in less than ten minutes! Sixteen people didn't take advantage of it."
"But Lord Leizhe was also injured. Well, that's his coat, and it's covered in blood."
"He was injured on the battlefield, very seriously, and he hasn't recovered yet. If he recovers the injury and then proposes a duel, the sixteen people won't even want to touch the corners of his clothes. How can a group of domestic dogs Worthy of being an enemy with a lion!"
"Shh, stop talking, Earl Jane Joe is here."
Seeing the central figure who sparked the duel, passersby immediately dispersed.
At a glance, Jian Qiao saw a coffee-colored coat that was thrown on the street by Lei Zhe. It was covered with sword marks and bloodstains, and a golden lion was embroidered on the front of the shirt, which was the logo of Grande.
Because of this prestigious symbol, no one dared to pick up this expensive coat.
Seeing the blood on the coat, Jane Qiao subconsciously covered her forehead.
He thought he would be scared and faint. But it didn't. At this moment, what appeared in his mind was no longer the scene of his heart with a dagger in his heart, slowly losing his breath in a pool of blood, but the back of the scarred Lei Zhe who was walking away from him step by step.
Those red bloodstains in large clumps no longer caused fear, but distress and panic. He wanted to keep that back.
The blood was shed by Lei Zhe for himself, and these injuries were also suffered by Lei Zhe for himself, so why should Jane Qiao be afraid
He walked over slowly, bent down to pick up the coat, patted the dust off lightly, and put it on himself.
His knight commander and footman shouted in horror: "Master! You cannot do this!"
The passers-by who had not left also showed disbelief. God, what did they see? They actually saw the always elegant Earl of Huadu, after the duel, wearing Lord Lei Zhe's blood clothes! He doesn't know what that means, does he? Oh, God! Does he even want his own dignity
Jane Joe doesn't care about anyone's eyes and opinions. He walked straight to the ducal residence, and the knight commander and the footman chased after him, red-faced, and repeatedly asked him to take off his coat.
Pedestrians on the road all turned to him, with shocked expressions.
"Dear Mr. Count, you really impress me! In this duel, you are the real warrior!" Garcia stuck his head out of a luxury carriage and picked Jane Joe's clothes with his fingertips collar.
Jian Qiao glanced at her lightly and continued on.
Queen Mo An's carriage happened to pass here, and she just came out of the duke's mansion. Her brother's injury made her worry, and her love life made her even more powerless.
Her hatred for Jian Qiao began to churn again after the other party recovered.
However, now, seeing Jane Qiao wearing his younger brother's bloody clothes, strutting through the market and letting everyone watch. The anger in her heart gradually calmed down. No nobleman can do this. The younger brother has given 100% sincerity to Jian Qiao, and Jian Qiao does the same.
They can both sacrifice everything for each other.
"Forget it, let them go." Queen Mo An lowered the curtain, leaned back on the seat and sighed.
Jane Qiao passed by the queen's carriage, but didn't take a second look. All he wanted was to see Lei Zhe as soon as possible.
---
Ten minutes later, the butler of the duke's residence hurried into the living room and whispered, "Sir, Earl Jane Joe is here, he wants to see you."
Lei Zhe, who was bandaging the wound, suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of burning eyes.
But in just a moment, the fire in these eyes went out. He knew that Jian Qiao was here to thank him, and that person was always unwilling to owe anyone's kindness. If someone treats him better, he will think about how to reciprocate. Isn't this seemingly affectionate behavior a kind of unkindness
If there is no debt, there will be no fetters.
"Let him go back." Lei Zhe wrapped the gauze around his waist in a tired voice: "I'm covered in blood, so it's inconvenient to see him."
"No, you must meet him." The housekeeper stood there and refused to leave, with a very complicated expression.
"What did he buy you for?" Lei Zhe asked in surprise.
"You will understand when you go and see. If you don't go, you will live in regret for the rest of your life." The butler strongly suggested.
The old duke, who was sitting on the side and helping his son deliver the wound medicine, suddenly became interested and went outside to take a look. After returning, his expression became very subtle.
"You go." He urged: "Don't hesitate, go! Run, hurry!"
Lei Zhe felt something, and immediately put on his shirt, buttoned up, and walked outside.
Across the carved iron gate, seeing Jane Qiao in his own blood clothes, he was frozen in place like a stone.
What would trigger a duel? There are no more than two answers - hatred and love.
In order to compete for a woman's belonging, two men who are fascinated by jealousy often fight to the death.
On the day of the duel, a woman sandwiched between two men would run to the scene to watch the fight. If she was moved by the victor, she would run forward, strip off the victor's blood-stained coat in front of everyone, and put it on herself. This indicates that she will treat herself as a gift to each other at night.
From then on, she was the property of the victor. Such behavior is regarded as the top romance in the Totes continent.
Right now, Jian Qiao is wearing Lei Zhe's blood clothes. His slightly tearful eyes were looking at Lei Zhe for a moment.
Lei Zhe stood stiffly for a while before walking forward, across the iron door, and asked with a dazed expression, "Why are you wearing—"
Jian Qiao nodded firmly before he finished speaking: "It's just what you think."
Lei Zhe's wildly beating heart suddenly stopped, causing a pain in his chest.
He clenched the railing of the iron gate, gritted his teeth and said, "Take off your clothes, there is blood on it! Do you know what it means to wear this clothes?"
Jane Qiao took his hand holding the railing and said slowly, "I'm no longer afraid of blood. Of course I know what it means to walk in front of you in your blood clothes."
Jane Qiao was close to the railing, but also to Lei Zhe's face, looked deeply into his blue eyes full of longing and fear, and said earnestly, "You have won for me, so I am yours now. We will spend the night together tonight."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the anemone brand on the side of Lei Zhe's neck.
A large blank appeared in Lei Zhe's mind. He couldn't believe what he heard.
Why would Jane Qiao, who would vomit when she kissed her, said such ambiguous words in such a cautious tone
"When you kissed me that day, I was still in a state of fear of blood. My mouth was full of blood, so I felt bad. But now, I'm not afraid, because you bleed for me, so it's lost Intimidate my ability."
Jane Joe got a little closer. If there is no such iron door, he will directly get into Lei Zhe's warm embrace.
He looked at the man's blue eyes and continued to confess: "I actually heard you the night you returned. You said that you survived because of me, and I want to tell you that I also survived because of you. You told yourself when you were trekking in the wasteland that you are now getting closer to me with every step you take, and then step by step you are out of the woods. I told myself the same when I was seriously ill, every day I made it through It will be a little closer to the day you return, and then I wait for your news day after day."
Jane Qiao stood on tiptoe, put her lips close to Lei Zhe's, and murmured, "You live for me, and I live for you. Love is not destruction, but hope. If I didn't meet you, I might never be there forever. They won't understand that."
He took a breath and said with a slight flush of cheeks: "I not only want to live in your land, but also spend every day with you. I love you too. I want to laugh when I see you, and I want to laugh when I see you. I miss you and love you. I want to kiss you, I want to hug you, I want to have you and I love you."
He let go of Lei Zhe's hand, took a step back, and slowly opened a calm smile, but spit out a vulgar word: "Fuck your mother's friend, I don't want to be your friend now. I just want to have sex with you. ."
He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled a necklace from his collar.
Lei Zhe didn't say a word, just stared at Jian Qiao with bloodshot eyes. His breath was urgent, rough, and heavy, like a beast suppressing violent emotions. He couldn't believe what he heard. It was the love language that the most beautiful dream would never hear.
They are horribly hot!
Lei Zhe stared at Jian Qiao's delicate collarbone for a while, then looked at the necklace, and his pupils shrank.
The pendant of this necklace turned out to be the piece of landscape agate. It was originally locked in the safe by Jane Qiao and was reluctant to let anyone see it. But now, Jane Qiao actually punched a small hole in it and hung it around her neck.
Jane Qiao took off the necklace, handed it over, and said with a chuckle: "You said that the way I treat it is actually the way I treat myself. So if I give it to you now, it is the same as giving me myself. You Want it?"
Do you want it? This question hit Lei Zhe's heart like a hammer. His dazed and terrified brain finally woke up at this moment. He realized that everything in front of him was not a too beautiful but illusory dream. So he stretched out his hand and quickly took the necklace away.
He pulled open the iron door and strode out, his expression very fierce.
Jian Qiao was not afraid of him at all, but hurried up to meet him. He is like a Ruyan who returns to the forest, full of nostalgia and plunges into Lei Zhe's broad chest. Without waiting for the man to hug him tightly, he stood on tiptoe and sent his red lips.
He held the tip of Lei Zhe's tongue, like a traveler who has been thirsty for days, looking up and waiting for a trickle of stalactites, he only dared to take small sips and lick them little by little. He cherished this moment of lip and tooth attachment.
He was so jerky and so careful.
Lei Zhe's eyes darkened, and then he rolled Jane Qiao's sweet tongue into his mouth, wrapping it without pity. He scoured every drop of sweet juice in Jian Qiao's mouth, and even swallowed Shen Yin deep in his throat.
He held the back of Jian Qiao's head, and the more he kissed, the more fierce and obsessed he became. He was going to take out all the pain he had suffered during this time in this kiss.
"How can you make my heart beat so violently for you after you smashed my heart so violently?" He asked with red eyes during the breath.
Jian Qiao, who was holding his cheek, begged softly, "Take it easy, this is my first kiss. My tongue is numb."
Lei Zhe, who originally wanted to get some justice for himself, suddenly forgot everything. He cursed fiercely, and then held Jian Qiao's swollen lips again. The cute appearance of this person is so distraught that Lei Zhe is so hard it hurts!
The two hug each other tightly, standing at the door and kissing each other.
The old duke stood by the window and sighed with a smile: "Winter is here, and spring is not far away."
---
It was night, and Jane Qiao, who was covered in red marks, got out of the quilt, gasping for breath.
Lei Zhe hugged him from behind and kissed his slender neck lightly, with an orgasmic aftertaste and satisfaction in his voice: "After I come back, I will secretly go to the hotel every night to see you."
Jane Qiao turned around, put her cheek on his sweaty chest, and said hoarsely, "I didn't notice it at all. I slept too much."
"That's because your body is still very weak." Lei Zhe kissed his cheek in distress.
Jian Qiao shook her head and said, "it's not because of weakness. I tell myself every night before I go to bed—Jian Qiao, you must sleep well. The more you sleep, the better your health will be. So, I slept very deeply."
"Yes, you are strong. You always know how to take care of yourself." Lei Zhe gently stroked his lover's sweaty back.
"It's not because of being strong." Jian Qiao continued to shake her head, then raised her eyes to look at Lei Zhe, and said in a low voice, "It's because my body is better and I've gained weight, so that my face will look good, and I can find you sooner if I'm good-looking. You may not believe it if you say it. Before I met you, I had insomnia every day, and I was awakened by nightmares. I've been longing for a miracle, but it's already happened to me. You're my miracle. Ray, I love you."
Lei Zhe was stunned, and it took a while to realize what Jian Qiao said.
"I love you too!" Lei Zhe buried his head in Jian Qiao's warm neck and smiled happily and happily.
"Baby, you're so cute," he said in a hoarse voice, then pressed the man under him and started a new round of lingering.
---
A few months later, spring came and the snow and ice melted away. Lei Zhe rode on a horse, holding Jane Joe in his arms, and walked swayingly on the way to Dessolette.
"You will stay with me in Desolate for three months, and I will stay with you in Grande for three months. We will take turns to settle in the two places, is that okay?" Jane Qiao asked softly.
Lei Zhe turned his head and kissed his cheeks flushed by the wind, and said with a smile, "Okay." Then he hugged the man deeper into his arms and wrapped it in a cloak.
"I want to hear you sing nursery rhymes. When you came out of the water that day and sang nursery rhymes with your arms around me, I felt as if I was lying in my mother's arms. That feeling of incomparable safety healed my entire childhood. "Jian Qiao turned sideways and put her cheek against Lei Zhe's broad chest.
He likes this pose. Lei Zhe is like a wall, helping him block out all the rain, snow, wind and frost from the outside world. He is very timid, so he likes to hide in this wall.
"What mother, don't yell. I'm your husband!" Lei Zhe reprimanded by biting Jian Qiao's ear, but he softened his tone and sang a nursery rhyme.
From now on, he will transplant this beautiful but delicate flower on the apex of his heart, protecting him and watering him with the love of his life.
