Manchu civil and military bow down

Chapter 75 Injured

Rolling down the hillside, the clothes on Xu He's arms were already soaked in blood. He stumbled to his feet, his face pale, and burrowed into a forest downhill.On the hill, the leader of the man in black narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and pointed, ordering people to chase after him.Xu He clutched his injured arm and walked quickly through the woods. Behind him, the man in black rushed down from the hillside and followed closely behind.

Murderous intentions are everywhere, and the coldness turns into substance.

Click, break off a wooden branch protruding across the front.A winding road overgrown with weeds, the trees in the forest are luxuriant, most of the sunlight is blocked, it is gloomy and dark.

Xu He was injured and walked a little slowly.When he walked out of the end of the forest, he was already overtaken by someone.A long sword cut through the air sideways. Xu He supported the tree, squatted down and rolled on the ground. He let out a muffled groan in pain, but finally bowed and came out of the forest.

In an instant, the sky fell.

Out of the forest is a path between mountains and mountains, next to endless fields.

Pulling out the long sword that had been pierced into the tree, the man in black at the front took a few seconds to chase after him.

Xu He was not afraid of him being alone, and thought about hiding in a village. Then he would be in the dark and the man in black would be in the light. With the small box he made back then hidden in his sleeve, it would be easy to kill the man in black.But the premise is not to be caught up now.

Xu He clutched his arm, turned his head, the pain was overwhelming, his vision was tinged with a ferocious red.

Seeing people following up one after another, the man with the bow and arrow on his back has already pulled the string and pointed the arrow at his back.

The road was narrow and short, and he had nowhere to escape.You can't jump into the field——

Hold.

Xu He was so stimulated by the sound behind him that his scalp became numb, and the arrow struck quickly. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped off the field in embarrassment, ignoring other things.

The rice is green and shiny, but the edges are very sharp. When I jumped down, I didn't know how many small wounds were cut on my body.The fields were muddy and muddy, making walking difficult.Fortunately, the rice here is high enough, and he can hide it by bending over, preventing them from quickly catching up.

The small wound was burning, and Xu He tried his best to hide the information. When he walked around a mountain in the rice field, he heard the sound of horseshoes.

It was a near-miss.

Xu He's slender hands were also scratched by the edges of the rice leaves a few small wounds, not deep but dense, shocking.

He climbed up to the side of the road and got up like a mud monkey.

In my heart, I said an offense to the man on the horse, and then took out my own knife from my sleeve.

When the horse's hooves sounded, Xu He waited for the opportunity and stuck the knife into the horse's body, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to get on the horse.But in fact, he was caught off guard by the quick reaction of that person, and the person didn't look at him from the beginning to the end.

But the moment he pulled out the knife, his wrist was grabbed.

It's cold, and it's extremely powerful.

It seemed that he was going to be thrown back into the field in the next second.

shit.

Xu He: "...No, brother, you listen to my explanation."

And Xu He, who was already ready to be thrown back into the field, obviously noticed that the person on the horse was stunned, and then he was pulled by his wrist, lifted out of thin air, and after a while, he sat on the horse.

At the same time, Xue Chengyu's voice sounded: "Xu He?"

Xu He was also startled, and wiped the mud and dirt off his face.Looking back, as expected, Xue Chengyu's eyes were as black and cold as stars.

After being shocked for a long time, Xu He's heart sank, and he let out a long sigh of relief: "Brother Xue, it's you."

Xue Chengyu reined in his horse and stood by the field, holding Xu He's hand in one hand.

The boy's blood and mud-stained sleeves fell down, and his thin white arms were covered with scars.

Xue Chengyu's voice was frozen: "Who did it?"

Xu He was embarrassed, but the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly urged him before he could open his mouth: "I'll explain to you later, walk around, someone is chasing me, go first, the two of us can't beat so many people."

Xue Chengyu calmed down slowly, and he glanced in the direction of Jokhang Mountain. The mountain was shrouded in smoke and clouds, and the wind and clouds were treacherous, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

The young man in his arms was covered in mud and wounds, and he was in a terrible state of distress. He lowered his head and looked at Xu He's right arm. The color of the clothes there was obviously darker than other places. He must have suffered a serious injury and should not delay.

That's it.

Xue Chengyu reined in his horse and turned his head without saying a word.

When raising the whip, the movement is very sharp.

Xu He turned his head and watched the distraught man in black slowly being thrown away.I couldn't help laughing in an instant, "A group of fools, they all said that I will take a step first, I won't play with you, what are you chasing after. It's useless, ouch—"

When the horseshoe turned, Xu He leaned forward, and his nose bumped into Xue Chengyu's shoulder, causing excruciating pain.

Xue Chengyu was so angry that he said, "If they were useful, would you still be able to laugh?"

The voice was cold, similar to the aura on his white clothes, quiet and profound.

For some reason, when Xu He heard Xue Chengyu's words, Xu He was not very scared, but laughed instead.

Perhaps it was because his heart had been raised just now, but now it has completely fallen, and the exhaustion from running around and the pain of the wound began to magnify. He sat upright and looked forward, and the scenery beside the small street in the field was galloping all the way.

Xu He opened his eyes wide, a little sleepy, but didn't want to sleep, so he distractedly said, "That's from the Su family just now."

Of course Xue Chengyu knew it, and said lightly: "Don't talk, just sleep when you are tired."

Xu He didn't want to sleep at all, and said again: "I killed Su Shuangxu."

Xue Chengyu responded, not paying attention at all, and frowned: "Shut up."

Xu He couldn't stop laughing, and his black robe was bulging. He thought for a while, and sighed: "I killed him alone, and escaped such a group of psychopaths from the Su family. I am so handsome today." gone."

When Xu He was a child, he had many inexplicable idiosyncrasies, some of which were not good to hear, and some of which he could guess the meaning with a little guesswork, just like the handsome word in his mouth now.When I was young, my heart was very big, and when I grew up, my heart was even more outrageous. Now I am in a mess, and I can still laugh out loud.

Xue Chengyu glanced at him with a cold face: "Yes, he's so handsome."

Xu He hadn't had time to be happy yet.

Xue Chengyu's dark eyes were already staring at him, and he said for the third time today: "Stop talking."

Xu He shut up.She was really sleepy too, and fell asleep leaning on Xue Chengyu's shoulder.

He felt that today was really unlucky. He was chased and killed by such a group of psychopaths just now.Thinking of the Su family, killing intent flashed in Xu He's eyes, dare to pay attention to his sister, tired of work?

Passing this road, it is getting farther and farther away from the center of the capital, and even galloping all the way, it has already reached the Gyeonggi area.As it was getting late, Xue Chengyu took Xu He's injury into consideration and found him a small clinic first.It was the first time in the hospital's old doctor's life that he came into contact with such an extraordinary nobleman, and he didn't dare to neglect him.

The arrow was poisoned, and the scratch on Xu He's right arm had turned black.When he was gouging out the flesh with a knife, Xu He turned his head away, his forehead was covered with sweat from the pain, and he clenched his teeth so as not to cry out.

Xue Chengyu frowned, and covered Xu He's eyes with his hands.

The quiet and deep cold fragrance on his body seems to be able to dilute the pain.After everything is over.

Xu He's voice trembled: "See you, have you seen the bones?"

Xue Chengyu replied to him: "No, don't be afraid."

The old doctor wiped off his sweat, feeling more nervous than Xu He, then gave some instructions and gave an ointment to apply to the cut.Xu He, who had just treated his wound, couldn't run around, so Xue Chengyu stayed here first.

Xu He lay on the bed, drank the soup, and fell asleep in a daze.

Before Xu He went to bed, Xue Chengyu sat at the table and began to spread the paper and ink to write letters. When he woke up, Xue Chengyu had already sent someone out at night and came back from the door.Xu He was woken up by the sound of him pushing the door open.

Returning under the moonlight, Xue Chengyu's expression was full of sternness, like frost and snow.

The indoor oil lamp was like beans, dim and yellow, Xu He rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Xue, you are back." He just woke up, his voice was a little weak and hoarse.But as soft as a feather across his heart, Xue Chengyu was taken aback for a moment, and then he pursed his lips, and the frost and snow between his brows melted slightly.

Xue Chengyu picked up the ointment from the table, sat down beside the bed, and asked Xu He to stretch out his hand.

Xu He didn't resist him either. His right arm would hurt to death even if he moved it.

He was curious, what was the letter Xue Chengyu just wrote?

So I also asked.

Xue Chengyu didn't intend to hide it from him, "It's nothing, it's about the successor."

Xu He opened his mouth wide in fright: "Back, back? Isn't the queen's body already recovering?"

Xue Chengyu lowered his eyes, and the slightly warm candlelight flowed through his jade-like side face, also feeling cold, he said: "What's the matter, it's just a reflection of the light."

Xu He stared wide-eyed.

Xue Chengyu's tone was cold: "The empress's illness was confirmed to be incurable by the imperial physician a year ago, and the entire imperial hospital was at a loss. Now it has recovered for no reason. How could there be nothing wrong with it?"

Xu He was also confused for a moment, something was wrong, so what is the purpose of this flower banquet?

Xue Chengyu saw what was going on in his mind, and said, "In order to catch the thief inside, find the murderer."

When the ointment is applied to the wound, it feels dense and itchy under the cool feeling.

But now Xu He was so shocked that he couldn't even feel the itch.

So from the very beginning, the empress knew that she must die.But everyone, including the emperor, the eldest princess, Bu Liuyue, and all those who participated in the flower banquet, did not know about it.

Then Xue Chengyu, how did he know?

"you……"

Xue Chengyu didn't raise his head, and said, "Guess."

Xu He: "..." I was so choked that I couldn't say anything.

The mother of a nation, is he not afraid of being heard and condemned for such an assertion of life and death?

Xue Chengyu held the young man's wrist with his slender hands, and carefully applied the medicine.He was not afraid that Xu He would know this. In a sense, the Xu family was also involved in the interest center.

Xue Chengyu said: "Su Peiyu is sure to win the latter position." After saying that, a sneer smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Xu He: "Hmmmm???"

Xue Chengyu raised his eyes and met the young man's clear and puzzled eyes.

Xu He remembered what Princess Zhaomin told him in Jinzhou, and he still couldn't believe it: "Why is it Su Peiyu?"

Now there are at least four high-ranking concubines in Changle Harem, and anyone with temperament or family background is much better than Su Peiyu, so how could it be her turn.

Xue Chengyu smiled, in the clear light that diffused across the window, he looked good-looking but indifferent: "After all, behind Su Peiyu is not only the Su family, but also King Yan."

King Yan? !

It can be said that he is getting more and more confused.

Xu He twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to ask something, but Xue Chengyu had already pressed a finger on his lips, his eyes were restrained: "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you."

Ok.

Xu He swallowed the question back to his stomach, his eyes were still curious and surprised, and he looked at Xue Chengyu without blinking.

Paint the wound on the arm well.

Xue Chengyu leaned over, slightly dipped his fingers in green ointment, and applied the wound on Xu He's collarbone. The young man's skin was white, so even a shallow wound looked hideous. He felt pity, so his movements were gentle.

Xu He's mind was full, King Yan and Su Peiyu thought of the well-dressed Su Peiyu they met in the forest when they were young.Is she really dating a man?If it really has something to do with King Yan, then didn't Bu Jinglan bump into him by chance that day?

Xu He's eyes were too persistent.

Xue Chengyu paused his fingers slightly, and glanced at him indifferently.

Xu He wondered, "What's going on?"

Xue Chengyu paused for a moment, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, hesitation flashed in his cold eyes under his long eyelashes, and he finally thought of something, and decided to tell the whole thing.

"The Su family was able to get to this point step by step in the capital, thanks to King Yan. Bu Jinglan has lived in the capital for a long time, and I don't know how much he has done in secret. If the queen falls, the person who pushes Su Peiyu to the top will definitely Not a few."

"But the king of Yan has supported himself in the land of Yan for many years. After helping Su Peiyu ascend this time, his motives are not pure, and he may have a rebellious heart."

Xue Chengyu's eyes were cold: "It's just that their layout was too early. When I started to investigate this matter, I was already powerless. After Su Peiyu ascended, it will be a big trend. But - King Yan, it's too early for them to be happy."

Xu He simply suspected that he and Xue Chengyu were not in the same palace.

"The emperor doesn't know about King Yan and Su Peiyu?"

Xue Chengyu said: "He doesn't believe it."

When he was young, the current Emperor Hui'an was also a generation of Mingjun.As I grow older, full of doubts erode the courage and judgment of my prime.He doesn't trust anyone now, only himself.And Su Peiyu didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into him.I am afraid that he will wake up only when King Yan's iron cavalry is approaching the capital.

Speaking of this, Xue Chengyu's eyes flashed coldly.The Holy Majesty still thinks that he is prejudiced against King Yan, and often persuades him to let go of his obsession and let him visit Yandi when he has time.

Crazy?

Between his unfamiliar uncle and Xue Chengyu, Xu He must be leaning towards the latter. He felt more and more strange that Bu Jinglan appeared on the night of Jingzhe that year—it happened that he saw Su Peiyu secretly meeting a man, and Bu Jinglan Lan appeared behind him.Even he didn't turn his head and stepped forward to startle the killing intent without concealing it, how could it be such a coincidence?

Xu He frowned and said: "The emperor doesn't believe it? It's okay, he will believe it later, you are so smart, you can't be wrong."

Originally recalling Emperor Hui'an's words, the sinisterness in my heart was dispelled by the young man's inexplicable determination and unreasonable trust.

Xue Chengyu laughed all of a sudden, he happened to be painting the wound on Xu He's collarbone, his hands trembled and his shoulders trembled.He couldn't help laughing, and his chin rested on Xu He's shoulder.

The cold and light fragrance was on the cheeks, Xu He was startled, "Xue Chengyu???" How could he be so happy?What did he say?

There was a very comfortable fragrance on the young man's body, slightly warm, just like his whole body.When we first met, he mistook the word "joy" in his pen, but now, most of the joy in his life is brought by him.

Xue Chengyu suddenly opened his mouth and bit Xu He's shoulder.Not heavy but not light either.The boy's skin was as smooth as silk.

Xu He was dumbfounded.

my day.

The feeling of being bitten on the shoulder was obvious. Xue Chengyu's aura surrounded him, and his long hair was tangled, which made him feel particularly awkward.

"...Brother Xue?"

Xu He couldn't move his right arm to push him away, his voice was trembling.

Xue Chengyu clicked, pressed his fingers on his shoulders, slowly straightened up, and said with a smile: "You are getting better at talking." When he laughed, he was still beautiful and elegant.Yuguan is upright and white clothes are cold, it seems that he is not responsible for the playful behavior just now.

Xu He was stunned by him just now, and only said: "You scared me to death just now."

"why?"

"Bite it all of a sudden, I thought you were going to eat me." Xu He was depressed.

Xue Chengyu only smiled when he heard the words, and didn't speak any more.

It was late at night, Xue Chengyu asked Xu He to sleep for a while, and had to run around tomorrow.

After hearing so many things, Xu He couldn't sleep. He closed his eyes, and his mind was full of images of Su Peiyu coming to the forest with a lantern during the night of the Waking of Insects.But with such intermittent images, he really fell asleep. The dream was strange, and his fear of Bu Jinglan was infinitely magnified in the dream.I also understood ignorantly, why he resisted Bu Jinglan so much at the beginning, not because of unfamiliarity, but just his intuition of danger.

At the first glance in front of the Meditation Hall, the young man in red with an elegant face and a smile, his eyes are like the aurora of the deep sea.And every time they met after that, he seemed to be standing behind the clouds, unpredictable.Falling into the water, the undulating aquatic plants in the water, the faintly indifferent eyes.In the cave, in the dark and silent world, the man in red came with a lamp, and the smile on his ankle was intriguing.And later, in Lin Xiangyuli at night, Bu Jinglan's smiling expression.

In the dream, Bu Jinglan became a ghost, a curse, an existence other than mystery.

After Xu He woke up, his head still hurt a little.

The more he thought about it now, the more he felt that falling into the water was not that simple.

My day... stay away from him, stay away from him.
