Xu Zhizhou stood for a while, then said, "Go down and protect the eldest son."
"Yes, this subordinate will retire."
Xu Zhizhou looked at the unmelted snow on the treetops in front of him, a trace of emotion flickered in his eyes, and muttered, "Brother, you have always been dignified and self-restraining, but this time you commit suicide for a person who is almost irrelevant." Risk, a whole body of injuries, worth it
Xu Zhizhou is well versed in the past and the present, and he is very proficient in history books and etiquette, but it is also because of this that he feels that such a thing is impossible. Since ancient times, the relationship between men and women is the most orthodox idea. Such a person is the object of admiration of all girls.
But... Ji Xiaoyao is a man after all, can he accept that a man likes him, can he accept being with a man? There will be no children, and they will not be able to carry on the family line for Ji's family.
Xu Zhizhou couldn't figure it out, why would such a smart person like elder brother like men
And the eldest brother seemed to know what was going to happen. After the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion came out of the capital, they immediately followed the eldest brother to the city closest to Hanling Pass. All the news in the Japanese capital was cut off, and I wanted to know what bad things happened.
"Second brother, is there no news from the eldest brother?" Xu Zhiyu appeared behind him at some point, obviously not asleep, since they came to Shangyong, the eldest brother disappeared inexplicably.
"Brother has important things to do, so wait a little longer." Xu Zhizhou didn't tell him about Xu Zhimo. After all, Xu Zhiyu is young, and the one he respects most is his elder brother. No matter what happened, it was the elder brother who suffered in the end.
"Oh, second brother, don't you go to rest?"
"...Let's go." Xu Zhizhou knew that his worries were for nothing, his elder brother always had his own opinions and never put himself at a disadvantage, but this time, will it be like this? Is love really that powerful
Facts have proved that love is such a powerful thing. One-way love may be bitter, but two-way secret love is often bitter and sweet.
The battle at Hanling Pass is still going on, and there is no sign of any delay because of Mo Wenli's ascension to the throne.
Ji Xiaoyao was standing on the city wall in purple fox fur. He didn't wear armor today, because they started defending the city again today. The living dead dangling under the city wall were already missing arms and legs, but they still held on. A broken body refused to leave.
The ground outside the city wall has been stained red with blood, the limbs of the living dead are scattered among the red, and of course there are also the bodies of Hanlingguan soldiers.
It was the same scene back then. When he followed Mo Jinyao to the border, there were corpses everywhere, and the mountains and rivers were broken.
Today, the scene under the city wall is still like this. If there is no way to deal with these living dead, the people in the pass will be exhausted sooner or later. By then...
Ji Xiaoyao didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't think about it...
"Is there still no news from the capital?"
"No..." Qin Sheng and Ji Xiaoyao stood side by side on the city wall, with a low tone.
The letters sent out seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and there was no news, but it was even more tormenting.
Some messy footsteps of servants came from behind.
"My... my lord, it's not good... Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu, he fainted!"
Ji Xiaoyao's pupils constricted, almost unable to maintain Mo Jinyao's unique indifference.
"You stay here and watch."
These words were addressed to Qin Sheng.
"Yes... Your Highness!"
Ji Xiaoyao didn't hear what Qin Sheng said at all, and after he finished speaking, he performed lightness kung fu and disappeared on the tower.
The door was pushed open and closed again.
In Xu Zhimo's room, the medical officer had already arrived and was taking Xu Zhimo's pulse. When Ji Xiaoyao arrived at the bedside, the medical officer hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by raising his hand.
Xu Zhimo still could only lie on the bed, the only difference was that the man's eyes were closed and his face was paler than before. Ji Xiaoyao looked at him with a dull pain in his heart.
"What happened to Mr. Xu? Has the wound on his back worsened?"
Ji Xiaoyao himself may not have felt the trembling and eagerness in his voice.
"Go back to the lord, Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu is probably poisoned by Gu."
Ji Xiaoyao was stunned, as if a sap had hit him on the head. Bewitched? He's fine, how...how could he be poisoned
"No... no, he has never touched..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Ji Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the poisonous Gu man. The man was bruised and purple, and he had long been integrated with the Gu insect. Naturally, the blood also contained Gu poison. He was already dead, Xu Zhimo's back was blown away by the self-destruct force of the Poison Gu, how could he get away with it
"Is there any way?" Ji Xiaoyao looked at the medical officer.
"Back to the lord... It's a miracle that the Gu poison in Xu Gongzi's body has only taken effect until now. This poison is extremely ferocious, or in other words, it is not poison at all..."
"Get to the point!" Ji Xiaoyao's brows were almost knotted.
"Yes, yes, the old minister prescribed some medicine for the young master, but it could only suppress the Gu poison and prevent him from spreading... But a month later..." The medical officer closed his eyes, unable to speak.
Mr. Xu is a well-known handsome man in the world. He is like an exiled fairy. He has read a lot of poetry and books and has an extraordinary temperament. Who would not like him, but such a person will die soon. Who would not regret it
"go out."
"My lord..."
"The king told you to go out!" Ji Xiaoyao roared.
"... yes, my lord."
The medical officer was taken aback, and the words he hadn't said were completely swallowed back in his stomach. He didn't dare to speak anymore, picked up the medicine box, and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
inside the house
Ji Xiaoyao just stood at the head of the bed like a puppet.
After a while, his fingers moved, slowly raised his hand, and his fingertips brushed across Xu Zhimo's pale face. There was a stove in the room, and the room was very warm, but his face was cold.
Finally, Ji Xiaoyao couldn't hold back anymore, and took off the human skin mask on his face, his eyes were a little red.
muttered,
"Xu Zhimo, you shouldn't have saved me..."
The man on the bed didn't know when he opened his eyes. Just now, his eyes were still hazy. When he finally saw the person in front of the bed clearly, he also saw his red eyes clearly.
"What's wrong? Are you... crying?" Xu Zhimo's voice was not like the fresh spring water in the past, but very hoarse.
Ji Xiaoyao rubbed his face with his sleeve violently, and said what he meant.
"I didn't cry."
"Okay, you didn't cry. I don't blame you. I decided to stop it for you. Don't blame yourself." Xu Zhimo's voice was very gentle, with a hint of pampering.
