Le Zhi tied the transparent jade pendant around her waist. Although she didn't know the use of Uncle Yin's jade pendant, she still understood the principle of making the best use of it, and it might have some deterrent effect.
Sure enough, when Chu Yan saw the jade pendant on her waist from a distance, her expression was obviously startled, but she was only startled for a moment.
"Tsk." Chu Yan said with a smile, "Is there such a big battle for the Crown Princess?"
"Secretly seal the city, besiege the prince, Chu Yan, you are so bold!"
Seeing Le Zhi's pale face, Chu Yan also lowered his voice and said, "So what? Huo Changyun slaughtered my clan, and what I did today was just a tit-for-tat."
"What nonsense!" Le Zhi's eyes were stern and he raised his voice, "Since it's what Huo Changyun did, then go to Huo Changyun to get revenge; don't talk about the father's debt to the son, it's just an excuse for your incompetence!"
Hearing this, Chu Yan seemed to be speechless. After a pause, he sneered: "You said so much, isn't it just to save Huo Du? If I just want to kill him, what can you do?"
Huo Du, who was walking down from the city wall, heard this, his footsteps on the steps froze suddenly, and he frowned: What is it? Is Chu Yan talking a little too much
"If anything goes wrong with His Royal Highness, all of you have to bury him with him."
The fox's eyes were red, and he looked both demon and evil on his pale paper face. She is clearly a beautiful beauty, but she has a murderous aura. When the old tribesmen saw this, their hearts were all startled, and they all took half a step back for no reason.
Only Le Zhi himself knew how baseless this was. But she really had no choice. Apart from deterrence and intimidation, she couldn't think of any other way—
Huo Du was still in the city, if she insisted on attacking, what if she really annoyed Chu Yan... She didn't dare to think about it.
Seeing that Lezhi was really annoyed, Chu Yan stopped deliberately provoking her. He smiled, and when he was about to explain, he saw a roar of horses' hooves...
Jiang Bing has arrived.
Le Zhi's heart sank, and when he was carefully calculating the chances of winning the battle with Jiang Bing and Chu Yan, he saw Chu Yan and his clansmen greet Jiang Bing.
She tugged at the reins and looked towards the place where the two sides were fighting.
How is this going
Didn't Jiang Guo unite with Chu Yan and send troops to encircle Huo Du
How did you start fighting now
Not only Le Zhi, but even Ning Bing was dumbfounded and froze in place.
"What are you doing? Come and help!"
When Chu Yan's shout came, Le Zhi frowned and hesitated.
... What if, what if it was Chu Yan and Jiang Bing's plan? She couldn't rashly order and kill a group of innocent Ning Guo soldiers.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sky was suddenly violent, stirring up the yellow sand in the sky.
"Cough, cough..." Le Zhi raised one hand to cover her mouth and nose, but her body was unstable. After one hand let go of the reins, her eyes suddenly became dizzy, her upper body tilted, and she fell down on the horse. go... ...
Before the expected pain came, Le Zhi only felt a force to hold her up and let her sit back firmly on the horse's back. At the same time, her body fell into a familiar embrace, and she burst into tears almost instantly.
She lowered her eyes, and in the fog, she heard Huo Du's command—
"The whole army moves from west to east, encircling Jiang Bing, leaving no one behind."
"Yes!" Ning Bing shouted in unison.
Le Zhi wondered, why did the soldiers of Ning Guo obey Huo Du's orders so much? But she lowered her eyes and did not see the black gold token held high in Huo Du's hand...
A thick cotton cloak wrapped around her thin body, and the person who was hugging her closely behind her stroked her side face, making her lean against him.
The horse turned its front hooves and galloped towards the city. The cold wind passed over the tip of the ear, and the surroundings were silent, except for the sound of the wind and the clear heartbeat of the two of them.
No one broke the silence.
Le Zhi was too tired to speak. She was wrapped in a cotton cloak, but her cheeks and ears were exposed and the wind hurt her.
In the past few days, she knew that her cheeks, earlobes and neck had been scratched by fine sand. But she was worried, and she couldn't care about it. Now that I have calmed down, the numb pain is revealed.
She frowned and hissed softly.
Suddenly, there was a hot and humid feeling in the neck. Le Zhi's eyes widened, realizing that he was licking her scratches with the tip of his tongue, and his mind was dazed for a moment. When she reacted, his lips and tongue had left her neck, and turned to hold her earlobe.
The tingling in her ears gradually turned into a dense itching, and Le Zhi stiffened as if she had been frozen, her slender fingers tightly grasping his arms around her waist, feeling a little overwhelmed.
What is he doing!
Although there are not many people in the city, but he is on horseback in broad daylight, isn't this person not ashamed at all
Le Zhi blushed, his eyelashes trembled, and he pushed him with the little remaining strength, "Don't, don't..."
"Okay."
He responded in a low voice, then turned to hold her other earlobe and kissed her gently.
"..."
Le Zhi felt that the road from the city gate to the prefect's mansion was too long. By the time they arrived at the gate of the mansion, her eyelids were almost exhausted.
She opened her eyes and was about to dismount when the person behind her rolled over to the ground. Then he took her by the waist and let her fall from the horse—
It landed firmly in his arms.
Le Zhi's expression was a little stunned, but her hand subconsciously wrapped around Huo Du's neck and clenched his shirt tightly. Their cheeks were close together, their breaths intertwined. She smelled the faint mint scent, put her profile face on his heart with peace of mind, and closed her eyes.
When Huo Du carried Le Zhi into the bedroom and put her on the bed, the person in his arms was already sleeping peacefully, breathing long. Huo Du sat on the side of the slump and stared at her sleeping face for a long time.
After a long time, he got up and brought the medicine box.
However, after not seeing him for more than ten days, his little fox lost a lot of weight again, and his pale face was full of tiredness. He took the ointment and rolled up her sleeves...
"pat-"
The sound of the sugar bowl falling to the ground made the person who collapsed frown in his sleep.
Huo Du picked up the candy jar and opened the lid, only the last mint was left inside. He put the sugar in his mouth and looked at Lezhi quietly. But the sleeping man unconsciously reached out his hand to touch his sleeve, couldn't find anything after touching it for a long time, and frowned deeper.
It was not until Huo Du stuffed the sugar bowl into her hand that she stretched her brows and continued to sleep peacefully.
Huo Du looked at her holding the sugar bowl tightly, but felt that her heart was being held tightly and could no longer be pulled away.
From then on, his heart no longer belongs to him.
He leaned down slowly and placed a light kiss on her lips...
Lezhi smelled a touch of sweetness in the sweet dream—
It's her favorite flavor.
In the past few days, she has eaten almost nothing, only relying on the cool sweetness to support her. However, the more sugar she eats, the less she eats, but Shengyang City hasn't arrived yet, so she can only save it... When there is only one left, she doesn't dare to eat it.
She is afraid.
Afraid that there are no more people who make candy, how can she find this flavor
So she dare not eat it.
Unexpectedly, I can taste such a taste in my sleep. Le Zhi was very happy. She was pleasantly surprised to find that the mint in her dream was not so cold, but seemed to be wrapped in warmth.
She hugged the source of the sweetness tightly, her cherry lips sucked hard, and the tip of her tongue deftly hooked the sweetness into her lips and teeth.
When he came out of his bedroom, the night was dark.
Huo Du stepped into the main hall with a sullen face, saw Chu Yan leisurely sitting on the soft chair, and asked, "It's all gone?"
"That's natural." Chu Yan sneered, "Just the rubbish in Jiang country, they still want to rule the world and dream!"
Huo Du hummed and said, "I see, let's go."
"Hey, I said, you kid, what kind of temper!" Chu Yan looked at him dissatisfiedly, and then asked after a pause, "How is she, are you alright?"
"No problem."
alright.
They are destined to be abnormal uncles and nephews.
Although Huo Changyun's actions had nothing to do with Huo Du, for Chu Yan, it was a knot in his heart after all. And Huo Du didn't want to see him either.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan smiled helplessly, got up and walked out. It is feasible to go to the door, as if thinking of something, he turned around and said to Huo Du: "Your wife is too temperamental."
"none of your business."
This time, Huo Du recovered quickly, but he frowned and his eyes were cold.
Chu Yan shrugged needlessly and turned to leave.
Same bad temper.
It's a perfect match.
laugh.
Le Zhi slept until the next night. She broke free from her sleepy eyes and stared at the warm candlelight in the house, stunned for a moment. Then she lowered her eyes and found that the clothes on her body had been changed, and the feeling of sticky sweat on her body had disappeared...
Rubbing her eyes, she got up and stayed and walked out of the house.
The melodious sound of the flute drifted to her ears, she bent her lips, and followed the flute to the backyard.
A familiar figure stood under the moon, and Le Zhi remembered that he was also playing the flute in the snowy night that day, and she came to find him. But at that time she was in a gloomy mood, and he was sitting in a white jade wheelchair...
Now that I think about it, it feels a bit like a world away.
Finally, the song is over. Le Zhi lifted the skirt and walked towards him slowly, but saw that he also turned around and looked at her with a gentle smile.
"The feet......completely healed?"
Originally, there were many questions in my heart that I wanted to ask him, but when I really stood in front of him, only one question came up.
Huo Du hummed and asked, "Have you slept yet?"
Le Zhi was a little embarrassed, and lowered her eyes and whispered, "I slept for too long..."
"soon."
Huo Du looked at her with a smile, his eyes burning.
-Because tonight, you can't sleep.
Le Zhi raised her eyes and saw his burning eyes, her heart skipped a beat. With a blushing face, she started the topic bluntly, "I work day and night to rescue His Highness! Your Highness is not thanking me well?"
Hearing this, Huo Du nodded. Then he put his hands together, bowed to Lezhi, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your help, my princess."
Le Zhi just said a joke. Seeing him thank him so solemnly, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to help him, "Don't, don't, I'm joking..."
Huo Du took advantage of the situation to hold her hand and looked up at the sky with her.
The round moon hangs high, shining brightly.
Le Zhi remembered what she said before leaving that day, and she was overjoyed, and said as if to herself: "You haven't broken your promise..."
She said that she would come back when the moon was full, and now they are really enjoying the moon together again.
"Lezhi."
"Huh?" Le Zhi bent her lips and looked at him.
"Is the moon round?"
"Round."
Le Zhi frowned slightly: What kind of silly question is this? Such a big full moon!
She was wondering, but her body suddenly vacated and was hugged horizontally. With a low voice, she hugged Huo Du's neck and looked at him puzzled.
Huo Du pressed his lips to her ear and whispered, "Okay."
You said it yourself.
When the moon is full, people naturally must be round.
Le Zhi was completely stunned, and when her back touched the soft slump, she realized what Huo Du meant.
This circle is not that circle...
"But, but you're not..."
She couldn't speak, and looked down at Huo Du with cold white fingers to lift the belt around her waist. The hot breath brushed against the tip of her ear, and his lips pressed against her earlobe, teasing: "You want to say I can't? Or... no?"
He bit the last two words extremely hard, but his tone was full of smiles.
Le Zhi's face was red when he was told, and his eyes were full of shock.
The clothes on his body loosened at some point and fell to his shoulders. Her hand was pulled by him, and she didn't know where to go... Finally, she shrank her fingertips and her heart skipped a beat.
Then Huo Du released her slightly, fixed her eyes with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said, "I'll give you a chance, it's too late to refuse now."
"I... ... "
But she just spit out a word, and he took her face and kissed it heavily.
-fraud!
The cotton mattress was wrinkled by her, and the whole person was tightly surrounded by the breath of mint, which was inevitable. She stiffened, unable to think.
When their breathing became more and more chaotic, Le Zhi felt his fingers pass through hers and intertwined with hers.
"Relax." Huo Du comforted her softly in his ear. Before falling into confusion, she heard him whisper two words—
"baby."
The candlelight was dim, but it couldn't hide the emotion in his eyes. Le Zhi fell into his lacquer eyes, indulging with him...
