On the fifth watch, the sky was gray and foggy. Such weather is the most unsuitable for traveling, but Ye Wuchen's itinerary has not changed in any way.
One of the best maroon tall horses in the Ye family, a young man who is less than ten years old, and two young girls who are closely dependent on him. And all the things he needs are put in the sword god's ring by him.
"Do you really have to take them there? It's so dangerous outside... Mother will take good care of them." Although she knew she would be rejected, Wang Wenshu persuaded her again. She was more worried that these two girls would drag him down.
"Well, they are used to being with me, and I don't want to be separated from them. Don't worry, I won't let them have any accidents, let alone myself." Ye Wuchen explained again, and then pushed Ye Wuchen away. home gate.
In the dense fog, a somewhat trembling frail figure was reflected. Ye Wuchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly startled, let go of the horse's reins, ran over to hold her tightly in his arms, and said distressedly: "Xiao Rourou, how long have you been waiting?"
Hua Shuirou's whole body was already wet with dew, Ye Wuchen touched the cold piece with his hand, I don't know how long she has been standing here. Feeling distressed, he didn't care about anything else, gathering gentle fire elements around her to warm her body.
Wang Wenshu also hurried over to hold her cold hand, blamed and distressed at the same time: "Silly boy, why don't you go in."
"I... I'm not cold." She was shivering and her lips were turning white. Because she was worried that Ye Wuchen would leave very early and could not go see him off in person, Hua Shuirou kept it from her father and waited here when the sky was still dark, and was afraid that Ye Wuchen and the Ye family's sleep would be disturbed, so she didn't dare to call out. He walked in through the door, but just waited here quietly, waiting eagerly for him to come out.
"It's not cold to say that it's like this. When did Xiaorourou learn to lie to your husband." Ye Wuchen protected her on his chest. With his efforts, Hua Shuirou's body finally began to relax. She leaned her body weight on his chest and said foolishly: "You hold me, how can I be cold."
Ye Wuchen smiled lightly, hugged her tightly again, and whispered: "I will be back soon, wait for me obediently. On the day I come back, let's get married... Even if the emperor doesn't agree, I will Let him agree."
After a brief silence, she murmured happily: "Well..."
After a long time, she gently pushed Ye Wuchen away, then put the small bag she had been protecting on her chest into Ye Wuchen's hands, and said softly: "Husband, these are the clothes I made for you these days There is a pair of shoes, and... my father said that there may be no one in the tens of miles to the south, and I have prepared some meals, which should be enough for lunch today."
She stretched out her hands, and carefully took off a colorful ring-shaped jade pendant hanging around her neck, then tiptoed, and gently hung it on Ye Wuchen's neck, and at the same time looked into his eyes obsessively and said: "This is my jade pendant." The colorful jade handed down from my mother’s family, when I was born, my mother hung it around my neck to keep me safe throughout my life. Now it is worn on my husband’s body, and it will definitely protect my husband’s safe journey and return.”
Ye Wuchen felt a feeling of being melted by warmth in his heart. He even suddenly thought that if he hadn't come to this world through unknown accidents, which goddamn bastard would be enjoying such tenderness now.
He hugged the small package that was slightly warm, held her hand, and said softly: "Wait for me..."
At this moment, all he could say were these two simple words.
"Go, go early... and come back soon." Hua Shuirou helped him tidy up the hair on his forehead and the clothes that were wrinkled by herself, and said reluctantly. She knew that since he chose to leave at this time, he must have his intentions. She could love him, love him, miss him, and not let him go, but she must not drag him down or delay him.
"Go, be careful all the way. If you can't do anything, come back earlier. Your safety is more important than anything else." Ye Wei, who has been silent all the time, said. Today's hour was supposed to be the court time, but both he and Ye Nu did not go. No matter how confident Ye Wuchen was, they still couldn't be free from worry. Because... Even if there is only a chance, this moment is their last meeting.
"Go, it's better to leave earlier, so you won't be discovered." Ye Nu also raised his hand and sighed. This old man stayed up all night last night, during which time he wanted to get out of bed many times to try to persuade Ye Wuchen to give up. What he couldn't pass was not the emperor's level, but Ye Wuchen's level.
"Chen'er, don't wrong yourself outside, but don't lose weight. Don't be reluctant to spend those money..." Wang Wenshu held Hua Shuirou's hand, and said with all kinds of reluctance.
Ye Wuchen nodded, glanced over them one by one, then lightly jumped onto the horse with Ningxue and Tongxin in his arms, and rode away without looking back. The sound of horseshoes was especially loud in the silence, and slowly moved from near to far in the dense fog.
At the corner, Ye Wuchen finally turned around. Covered by dense fog, they couldn't see his figure at this time, but Ye Wuchen could still see them clearly. Hua Shuirou still maintained her original posture standing there, looking in her direction dimly, unwilling to leave. And besides them, he saw another figure... Ye Shuiyao, who was basking in the moonlight last night, quietly looked at his back until he left.
Two full hours later, Long Huang'er's extremely aggrieved shout came from the door of Ye's house: "You big bastard... big bastard! In order to send you off, it's the first time this princess has gotten up so early when she grows up, and you actually left It's gone... Woohoo, it's really disgusting! I hate you to death!!"
…
Time: Ten minutes after Ye Wuchen left. Location: Imperial Study Room of Tianlong Palace.
A black shadow appeared behind Long Yin like a ghost, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, he has already left. What puzzled the old man is that he even took away the two girls who usually slept with him. "
"Oh?" Long Yin turned around, "Is there such a thing?" Then he laughed again: "Sure enough, he is a romantic boy, and he will take his private pet with him wherever he goes. This is really unexpected. But it is also It shows that he is not worried about the safety of this journey."
"Do you still need the old man's secret protection?"
"No need. I think he has enough confidence. I need you at any time." Long Yin waved his hand.
At this moment, Long Yin's personal eunuch came in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the third prince is asking to see you."
"Oh? Qi'er?" Long Yin frowned and said, "He must have something important to come here so early, let him in, Mr. Li, you step back first."
The two responded at the same time, one left and the other disappeared. Soon, footsteps came in a hurry, and Long Zhengqi came in and knelt down on one knee: "My son pays his respects to my father, I don't know why my father summoned my son so early?"
"Get up... Oh? Wait, when did I summon you?" Long Yin heard something wrong and asked seriously. At the same time, a faint shadow suddenly appeared in my heart.
Long Zhengqi got up and said doubtfully: "After getting up, my son saw a piece of imperial sheet next to the bed saying that if you wake up, go to see the father quickly. The son thought that the father could not bear to disturb the son's sleep and left a message, so he woke up. Then came here in a hurry... Isn't this the intention of the emperor?"
Long Yin's eyes became sharper, and he said in a deep voice: "I have never let anyone summon you."
"This… "
Just as Long Zhengqi uttered a word, his voice was severely cut off, and his eyes suddenly widened, as if they would burst out of his sockets at any moment.
Because, he saw a pair of pitch-black eyes.
Long Yin immediately noticed his sudden abnormality, and quickly stepped forward to support his shoulder, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you?"
Boom! !
For the rest of his life, Long Yin should not forget the muffled sound that was so close at hand, because it was the sound of his most satisfied son's body exploding, and the cloud of blood and blood mist bursting in front of his eyes... like a terrifying death The spell was firmly imprinted deep in his heart, bringing him nightmares one after another.
At that moment, time seemed to be extremely slow, blood sprayed all over Long Yin's body, large and small stumps, minced meat and blood-stained clothes flew to every corner of the imperial study in bloody arcs. Long Yin's eyes widened in horror, and he collapsed on the ground trembling, his soul was instantly taken away by the sudden purgatory. At this moment, in front of his eyes, apart from blood, it was still blood.
Three old figures appeared at the same time, and the eunuchs who heard the voice rushed in one after another. The scene in front of them made them stand on the spot, wondering if they hadn't woken up from their dreams.
The three priests looked at each other in blank dismay, and the three old men, who had always been quiet in ancient wells, all looked shocked at this moment. At this moment, a piece of white paper slowly floated down from the sky without any warning, and landed in Long Yin's hands accurately. Long Yin looked at the note with trembling hands, and then his pupils shrank violently...
It reads: "The king of a country has repeatedly harmed his loyal son, so he will be punished by heaven."
Holding the ball of paper firmly in the palm of his hand, Long Yin, who was covered in blood all over his body, slowly stood up from the pool of blood. He is an emperor after all, even such a psychological and visual impact cannot defeat him. He bit the tip of his tongue tightly. What he needed most at this moment was calmness... Calmness!
The eunuchs and guards who rushed in were all dumbfounded and frightened, but none of them dared to speak. Long Yin said in a cold voice: "An assassin broke in and was killed. What are you doing, why don't you clean it up quickly!"
Only then did these people wake up like a dream, and began to clean up tremblingly. Anyone with eyes would know that the third prince just came in, and judging from the bloody clothes on the ground, this dead man was clearly the third prince. And the emperor issued this order clearly because he didn't want people to know about it, so their only end would be to be killed and silenced.
Before the fear of death, they didn't even feel sick, and they didn't even bother to see the three mysterious and unpredictable three major priests who rarely showed up.
