morning thoughts

Ji Yu sneaked out of Huajing and met with the dark guard fifty miles outside the capital.

The skin on his lips was dry and peeling, but he didn't care about drinking water. He turned the rein in his hand and reined in the horse. It took a while to breathe evenly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Fifty miles ahead, we will leave Huajing completely. Right now there are only a dozen of us, but even if it’s just me, I have to rush back.”

After hearing the words, everyone listened to the order with bated breath.

But Ji Yu stopped, panted, looked at everyone, and said seriously: "An accident happened in Lichuan, and now the life and death of the father is still uncertain, and the rebels seized the throne. I am afraid that you will never return from this dangerous time. If you go back on your word , Now that I propose it, I can leave on my own, if not, I won’t have this chance to regret it after leaving Huajing.”

There were only a dozen people in the area, but no one responded with a calm expression.

Seeing that no one responded, Ji Yu looked up at the other three hidden guards.The rest of the people are guards who have been by Ji Yu's side all the time, but the hidden guards belong to the king's father, so they have to ask whether they want to stay with the boss or not.

Seeing this, the three hidden guards immediately lowered their eyes and replied: "Your Majesty, we are all people who have been cultivated by King Annan, and we swear allegiance to King Annan to the death. , we will go wherever the son goes, not to mention Li Chuan and our brothers."

Ji Yu nodded, clamped his horse's belly and greeted everyone: "You are all strong men, Ji Yu thank you again, let's go home together!"

Without half a word of promise and thanks, it was enough to cheer everyone up.

At this time, any thanks and promises would be insignificant and hypocritical. How could a near-death situation be dismissed with just a few words of thanks? Like Ji Yu, they all came to Huajing from Lichuan due to helplessness.

Maybe in a short while, they will be wiped out by the pursuers sent by the emperor, or maybe they will be lucky enough to survive to Lichuan and be discovered by Ji Jingyang's soldiers...

But as long as they "go home", they can see their family members who miss them day and night again, and it is considered a worthy death.

Ji Yu was grateful in his heart, and with a frightened expression, he led the crowd to gallop on horseback. When he turned his head again, he took a deep look at the Huajing City, which had long been invisible, and was hardened.

Let's go and say goodbye, and it will become a dream after years.

I don't know how long it took, and it was about out of the range of Huajing City. Ji Yu's speed gradually slowed down, and Da Ma approached the guard, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this?"

The guard reined in the horse, turned his head and looked around, got off the horse after confirming it, took out a water bag from his rucksack and handed it to Ji Yu, and replied respectfully: "My lord, we probably just left the Huajing area. , Shizi, drink some water and rest for a while."

Ji Yu stood on the horse and tightened the reins with both hands. His body was indeed a little bit unbearable as he walked so fast. He nodded at the guards and did not force himself. We have to rush to the next city before dawn."

Everyone got off their horses and gathered around a tree to drink water and rest their feet, not daring to disperse too far.

Suddenly someone made a suspicious voice, pointed to the direction behind them, and shouted: "My lord, that seems to be...chasing soldiers!"

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly turned their heads to look over. In the distance, they saw glowing torches connected together, like candle dragons wandering in the dark night, and the banner with the word Wei was reflected in the firelight and fluttered.

Ji Yu closed his eyes, Wei Qi!It's Wei Chengji!

No, no, General Wei has not yet returned to the court in Kangnan, and those who can carry the banner of General Wei in Beijing...

It's Ling Chao.

After confirming, he immediately got on his horse and said sharply, "Go!"

Although everyone expected such a result early in the morning, they were still extremely flustered when they actually faced it. After hearing Ji Yu's words, everyone mounted their horses in response.

Why is he the one who came!Ji Yu didn't care to analyze, and instinctively ran forward.

The sound of howling wind blew past his ears, Ji Yu was not afraid of death, but the appearance of Ling Chao made him truly understand what it means to be close to an enemy.

"Ji Yu! Stop it!"

Ling Chao was unwilling to see people running away in front of him, so he galloped on his horse, and the soldiers behind him followed him for fear that something might happen. He led an elite army. is more than enough.

He drew a feathered arrow from behind and aimed at Ji Yu's horse's leg and shot at Ji Yu's horse's leg. The horse's hooves lost strength and fell to its knees. Ling Chao took advantage of the opportunity to rush over from behind, and caught the man on his horse before Ji Yu fell off. .

"Sir!"

The guards exclaimed, stopped the swords in their hands and quickly approached Ling Chao, but they didn't have the slightest fear in facing him.

Ling Chao reined in his horse, and pulled Ji Yu down with his hands back. He stared at the person in front of him expressionlessly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After a while, Ling Chao scolded: "The son of King Annan left Beijing without any reason, His Majesty ordered me to invite the son back!"

Ji Yu moved his lips, pursed them into a straight line again, and fixed his eyes on Ling Chao. Seeing his strange and indifferent attitude, his heart felt like a knife.It was he who deceived him first and betrayed him first, he said silently in his heart.

"Your Highness, I can't go back!"

Ling Chao looked down at Ji Yu, his eyes were red, and there were too many questions in his heart that he wanted to clarify, but at this moment he didn't know which one to ask.

I want to ask him why he forced himself into this situation without saying a word?Or do you want to question him that all the good times in the past were fake?He was forced by his father's suspicion to arrest Ji Yu himself, but he couldn't do it when he was near him.

Thinking of the person who was still in his arms last night, how could he change his appearance overnight!Ling Chao pulled Ji Yu over, made him look at him, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"

Ji Yu looked at Ling Chao distressedly, his trembling lips gradually closed, without saying a word.

What else can he say?An accident happened in Li Chuan, he couldn't let the emperor know at this time, his father's life and death are uncertain, everything is uncertain, his heart is for his mother, so he has to rush back.

Seeing that he was silent, Ling Chao was a little unwilling, turned his head away from looking at him, bit his lips but still couldn't hold back the tears from falling down.

Warm tears dripped on the back of Ji Yu's hand, he raised his head in panic to meet Ling Chao's wet eyes, couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes, put his lips next to his ear and whispered: "Your Highness , I really like His Highness, but now I have a reason to go back, if I don't go, it will be too late."

Ling Chao's body froze, and before he could react, Ji Yu pulled him up and held him in his arms. He took the sword from his waist and pressed it against his neck, and said in a deep voice, "All the guards obey the order, get on the horse and drive away immediately." To Lichuan!"

Ling Chao lost his mind, and when he regained his senses, Ji Yu had already controlled him. All kinds of emotions and worries in his heart were resolved by Ji Yu's words of sincere love, but the next moment he was taken by the beauty with honey. hostage.

As long as Ling Chao thought about it, he could get out of Ji Yu's control at any time, but he couldn't bear to hurt him.

Ling Chao took a deep breath, sideways and asked sharply: "Is the son planning to tie me back to Lichuan? Don't think about it, how can a dozen people resist it?"

He knew that he couldn't resist, so he couldn't be head-on. Ji Yu's hands trembled slightly, fearing that he would hurt Ling Chao, and he was afraid that Ling Chao's resistance would hurt himself, so he said anxiously: "Your Highness, don't worry, I just need to get out." The scope of the imperial city will let His Highness go back."

"Oh, let me go back? Are you afraid that I will chase you again?" Ling Chao asked in a cold voice.

As long as he was outside the scope of the imperial city, Ji Yu would have his own way to rush back to Lichuan.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry."

Hearing his words, Ling Chao didn't look back, he raised his hand and brought the sword close to him, and refused to let go until the blood was wiped off.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Ji Yu burst into tears, and his hand holding the sword loosened, but Ling Chao didn't retreat even an inch, and approached inch by inch, until Ji Yu couldn't help letting go of the sword in his hand, allowing it to fall to the ground.

Ling Chao indifferently raised his hand to wipe the blood on his neck, and said sarcastically, "Why did your son let go of his sword?"

Ji Yu was speechless when asked, and panicked when he saw the bloodstain on Ling Chao's neck. How could he really hurt him? He couldn't stop saying: "How can I go back to Lichuan if I don't kill me?"

Without waiting for Ji Yu to answer, he continued: "You reminded me that there might be some changes in Li Chuan, so how did you know that I would not be on your side? Just don't believe me like that?"

Ling Chao was anxious and angry. He used to hide and fight for a stable life, but Ji Yu thought he was really incapable, but he clearly said that he would come to protect him in the future, so why didn't he Ken believed in himself.

He thought he had worked hard enough, but he didn't know what he had done was far from enough until he was persecuted by his father and Ling Yu in the hall.

If he was strong enough, why would Ji Yu hide it from himself because of fear.

All along, he has shown a kind and innocent side in front of Ji Yu, and only he himself knows that he is not such a person.No matter who it is, as long as he hurts him, he will try his best to get revenge.

In the end, Ji Yu was defeated and shook his head. After all, he was reluctant to hurt Ling Chao.

"Come out."

As soon as Ling Chao finished speaking, six figures appeared from the darkness, half kneeling in front of Ling Chao.

Ling Chao nodded, and said to the six people: "Haosheng escorted Prince Ji back to Lichuan, and don't come back if something goes wrong."

After he finished speaking, he turned his back to Ji Yu, touched the jade pendant hanging around his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The son of Ji is ordered by the emperor to return to Lichuan, and no one can stop him!" Ji Yu taunted, "What do you bring back to Lichuan to fight for your life with just this few people? Since I let you go, you should come back alive to make amends!"

Hearing this, Ji Yu suddenly raised his head and said nervously, "How do you explain to Your Majesty?"

"I have my own way, don't worry."

Tears poured down, Ji Yu couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Ling Chao from behind, retreated with a hug, wiped away the tears on his face, got on the horse and stomped on the spot holding the rein.

"wait me back."

"Await your return."
