Chapter 221 The Emperor and the Dark Guard
Chapter 221 The Emperor and the Dark Guard
The man's words made Yunchu's eyes slowly fill with shock. He looked at the other person, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and forgot to regain his senses for a long time.
Mo Chi saw the expression on his face. He really wanted to hug him into his arms and comfort him, but he was afraid that he would scare him, so he could only restrain himself and raised his hand to touch his head, but he didn't expect that Just because of one of his actions, Yun Chu's bloodless face became even paler, and his body trembled, making it impossible for Mo Chi to ignore it.
"Emperor...Emperor..."
Yun Chu tremblingly called his name, Mo Chi slowly frowned, the hand on the other's head paused, but did not move away.
Yun Chu froze and did not dare to make any movements, nor did he dare to look up at the man in front of him.
He found that the other party seemed to be abnormal in every way since he woke up. Yun Chu wondered if his head was broken when he fell off the cliff.
"I didn't break my head." A deep and pleasant voice slowly sounded from above the head.
Yunchu: "..."
Mo Chi looked at his slightly trembling body, how could he not know what the other person was thinking, he withdrew his hands and sat down next to Yun Chu, his amazingly long legs resting casually on the ground, he lowered his head , as if he was thinking about how to organize his words, but in the end, he just turned his head and looked at Yun Chu, who was quietly sizing him up, with a serious look, and said to him word by word: "I'm sorry."
The wind in the late autumn night in the mountains always carries a stinging coolness, and the roar of wild animals can be faintly heard in the distance, and it is transmitted into the empty cave together with the sound of the wind.
The burning fire made occasional crackling noises, but otherwise the cave was eerily quiet, and the beating flames illuminated the two people beside the fire.
Yun Chu lowered his head, holding a branch in his hand to pull the fire, while Mo Chi looked at him quietly.
The gaze that fell on him was not aggressive, but it was hard to ignore. Yun Chu felt that he could no longer pretend.
Just when he plucked up the courage to look up at the other party, a few more fruits suddenly appeared in front of him, which he brought back from the outside during the day. They were green and red, and the flesh was sour and hard to eat.
"Eat it," Mo Chi looked at him, his dark and deep eyes were a little frightening because of the firelight in the dim cave, "It seems that this is the only one now, although it is a bit unpalatable, but at least it can fill your stomach. I will eat it again tomorrow." Go out and see if you can find anything else to eat."
"It's the subordinate's incompetence that has troubled the emperor." Yun Chu lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes cast a long shadow on the bridge of his nose under the reflection of the firelight, flickering and flickering, with an indescribably fragile beauty.
Mo Chi: "Yun Chu, I have said many times that there is no emperor here anymore."
"A king is a king, a minister is a minister, and etiquette cannot be abolished."
Mo Chi: "..." It doesn't make sense, I'm so tired.
Knowing that he couldn't make the other party change for a while, Mo Chi could only tell himself to take his time in his heart, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "We fell into this desolate place, and we don't care when we can go out." Certainly, both you and I are still injured, maybe one day we will die in the mouth of wild beasts, so, for the sake of our two safety, it is better to cooperate at this time."
Yun Chu didn't change his face: "This subordinate will protect the emperor."
Mo Chi: "Of course I know that Yunchu will protect me, but now there are only the two of us here, and our status and status have become floating clouds, so there is no need to worry so much."
Yun Chu lowered his head silently and did not speak, Mo Chi looked at him and did not speak, just waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Yun Chu finally raised his head to look at him, and said something that made Mo Chi almost vomit blood: "Your Majesty, after we go out, I will find a doctor to show you your head."
Mo Chi: "..."
Later, Yunchu added some firewood to the fire, then rejected Mochi's proposal to let him sleep on a straw bed, found a random corner and sat down, then closed his eyes.
Mo Chi was lying on the ground, his body was really pampered, he just slept on a pile of straw, his body was worn red and white, the wound was still painful, he couldn't sleep, he could only look at Yun Chu silently, Looking at it this way, it was a whole night.
The first ray of light from the entrance of the cave shone into the cave. When Yunchu opened his eyes, the man on the straw pile had disappeared. He opened his eyes for a moment, and his expression changed instantly after he realized it.
As a hidden guard, his vigilance has dropped to such an extent that he doesn't even know when the other party wakes up and disappears. This is a big taboo for the hidden guard!
Yun Chu cursed in a low voice in his heart, then propped himself up and wanted to go out to find someone.
The fire on the ground had already been burned to ashes. Yun Chu came out of the cave and looked at the path covered with dense forest in front of him. He picked up a branch on the ground as a weapon, and then walked along the path covered with dead leaves.
He pursed his lips tightly, and there was tension and worry in his eyes that he didn't even know.
The sun on the treetops was gradually rising, and the scalding sunlight fell on Yunchu's body from the gaps. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and strands of black hair were stained on his cheeks. It converges from the cheeks to the chin, and then drips silently.
After searching for a long time without finding anyone, Yun Chu's expression became more and more anxious. He didn't care that his loud shouting would attract wild beasts or pursuers, so he called out to Mo Chi one after another:
"My lord—where are you, my lord?"
"Mochi—"
The rough and ugly voice resounded in the forest, startling a bunch of birds on the treetops.
No one could be found, no one could be found anywhere, just when countless possible worst outcomes flashed through Yunchu's mind, the sound of dead leaves being crushed suddenly sounded behind him.
Yun Chu turned around suddenly, and the branch in his hand stabbed straight at the opponent with a fierce murderous aura.
Mo Chi stared blankly at the branch less than a finger away from his heart, his heart almost stopped beating.
"Mo... Your Majesty?" There was still a trace of trance in Yunchu's voice.
Mo Chi looked at him. The man was wearing a black robe with several slashes. He was holding two cooked fish in one hand, and the hem of his clothes in the other hand. apple.
"Yunchu..."
Yun Chu looked at him, his eyes closely scanned the person from the beginning to the end, and after making sure that the other party was not injured, his raised heart returned to its original position.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body was a little bit out of strength, and the branch in his hand fell to the ground: "This subordinate thinks something happened to you..."
Mo Chi shook the fish in his hand at him: "I'm going to find something to eat." He saw Yun Chu's worry and fear, and felt a little sour in his heart: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
Yun Chu shook his head, his nose was a little sore.
"Let's go, I grilled two fish, it should be pretty good." Mo Chi didn't know what to say, so he could only bring the topic to a more relaxed direction.
The two went back to the cave one after the other. Yun Chu followed Mo Chi, looking at the man's tall and slender back, complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
After entering the cave, Mo Chi handed the biggest fish in his hand to Yunchu: "Eat it, it's still hot."
Yun Chu looked at the crispy, golden-yellow grilled fish in his hand, but didn't move.
"Your Majesty, from now on, it's fine for your subordinates to do these things. You are the Son of Heaven."
"The Son of Heaven is a human being, and he has to eat." Mo Chi smiled, lowered his head, took a bite of the fish in his hand, and urged: "Eat quickly, my cooking skills should be okay."
After the two of them finished eating two grilled fish together, Yun Chu silently cleaned up the fishbone all over the place, then took out the unused medicine yesterday and came to Mo Chi's side: "Your Majesty, it's time to change the medicine."
Mo Chi turned around obediently and took off his clothes. Yun Chu looked at the wound that was oozing red again, and thought so.
The cloth strips that wrapped the wound were peeled off one by one. Mo Chi felt the cautious movements of the people behind him, and the corners of his lips raised slightly in invisible corners.
After Yunchu finished applying the medicine, Mo Chi put on his clothes, tied his belt and said, "I found a river two kilometers away from here. Let's take a rest today and go down the river tomorrow. Where there is a river, there must be people, Yang Zhao is very suspicious, and will definitely send people to search for us, so we can't stay here any longer."
Yun Chu nodded: "Okay."
Mo Chi put on his clothes, looked up at the scabbed wound on Yunchu's forehead, his gaze slid past his bark mask, and suddenly said, "Yunchu, I'll find a doctor for you after I go out, your face I will heal your wounds and throat for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but this subordinate thinks it's quite good now." Yun Chu's hands shaking the bloody cloth strips shook violently, and he said in a hoarse voice after a long time.
The atmosphere between the two of them froze immediately, and Yunchu turned around and left the cave after cleaning up.Mo Chi looked at the back of the other party going away, and there was no light in his dark eyes.
Later, Yunchu brought back a rabbit, and the two roasted him in the cave, ate half of it, and saved the rest for tomorrow's journey.
In the evening, the originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Mo Chi stood outside the entrance of the cave, looking at the gloomy sky and the trees swaying from side to side by the strong wind, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Not long after, heavy rain poured down, rumbling thunder and lightning that tore through the sky seemed to destroy everything in the world.
It rained heavily all night, and the next morning, the rain still did not decrease.Mo Chi propped himself up and sat up, the first thing he did was look at Yun Chu in the corner, who was lying curled up on the ground with his back turned to him.
Mo Chi's eyes narrowed slowly, and he saw that the other person's body seemed to be shaking.
"Yun Chu?" Mo Chi raised his foot and walked over, reached out and patted Yun Chu's shoulder, the temperature under the thin cloth was frighteningly hot.
