"Master, what are you doing with so many red pills these days?"

Ye Pu watched the smoke rising from the pharmacy all day long, and was very puzzled.

"Shhh, we're going out," Xie Lu held him back, and looked at A Li who was playing with the children in the distance outside the door in a low voice: "You just need to know about this, don't let little A Li hear it."

"Going out?"

That's right.The burdens are all put away, and when enough red pills are ready, let's hug Zhao Zhao and run away!

It's a pity~ This time I really can't take little Ah Li with me, otherwise, if he follows him, even if he goes to the ends of the earth, his master will know it right away.

"Aren't we... not coming back anymore?"

"Come back! It's just to avoid the limelight for a while, why don't you come back? One day King Ning will return to the capital obediently, and we will be back soon," Xie Lv said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Xiao Yepu, your master and I will go to your place to stay for a while." How's it going?"

"Where am I?"

"Aren't you from the Tu nationality? Southern Xinjiang is not far from Yunsheng Prefecture, and you and I have stayed for a while, and I am familiar with the language and terrain. The weather there is cool and humid all year round, and there are many ponds, which is just right for driving. The Red Medicine Pond is also the residence of the Tu and Miao people, the Da Xia clan is small, and no one recognizes us, not to mention you are here, isn't it more convenient to come and go?"

Ye Pu pondered for a moment: "But Ye Pu once heard that... General Zhenyuan led his troops to flatten the southern border and forged a bloody feud with all the tribes in southern Xinjiang. If this is the case, the general dares to go, isn't he afraid of being retaliated?"

"Ah, in fact, it's just rumors about flattening the southern border! I attacked the Hei Miao tribe at that time, and other tribes helped me make way for me, and made way for me, especially your old patriarch of the Tu tribe—after all Most of the tribes in southern Xinjiang still have their hearts towards the imperial court, and not all of them are like Heimiao!"

"..."

"As for Hei Miao, in order to prevent the leak of the secret treasure, King Ning had already ordered me to exterminate the whole Hei Miao family, so there is no longer any worries!"

***

The silver moon is like a hook, and the forest is like a charm. In the dream, Murong Zhi hugged Zhaozhao, followed by Xie Lu and Ye Pu, and together they crossed the forest, walked through the desert, through the swamp, and through the smoky meadow.

Southern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang...

Ye Pu's hometown is also the place that person once said that he would take him to see.

He said that the Longji terraced fields in southern Xinjiang are colorful in spring and summer.The wild flowers on the mountainside are in full bloom, bright and dazzling, and the four seasons are like spring, which is suitable for fertility.

It's not the paleness on the snow-capped mountains.The foreign races in southern Xinjiang are simple and honest, and the neighbors are friendly, and they will not be boring.

He said that the people over there live in interesting bamboo buildings on stilts...

He said, he said...

Murong Zhi opened his eyes, the coldness of the surroundings and the gorgeous paintings of unfamiliar beams made the corners of his lips evoked a bleak wry smile.

Body, unable to move.

Loosen a rope, and tied him to the wooden chair as if for decoration, and placed him behind the gorgeous screen.Except that the eyes can turn from time to time, they can't move anywhere at all.

The mouth was stuffed tightly with a cloth towel, obviously it was my fingertips, but no matter how hard I tried, there was no reaction at all.

Beside him, Ye Pu was also tied up and placed on another chair.The four eyes met, and the child was also tightly gagged.

And behind them, there was a faint musk. Although Murong Zhi couldn't turn his head, he knew that there was someone there——

Moreover, he knew who that person was.

……

Murong Zhi still remembered that Ye Pu made A Li unconscious with a cup of tea that night. He checked A Li's pulse to make sure that the child was asleep.Then, Ye Pu carried the burden, Xie Lv hugged Zhao Zhao, and he pushed open the old palace gate...

But after stepping out of the palace gate, I can't remember anything.

Do not……

He seemed to still remember that under the dim moonlight, he finally saw someone's fox face and the corners of his lips curled up under the fox face.

……

Before, he didn't understand.Why did Xie Lu urge him to refine the red medicine, urge him to pack up his things quickly, and take him to the southern border for "temporary refuge" no matter what.

He was puzzled.He thought about that day in the Yunjin Palace, he held Xie Lu's hand and stood in front of King Ning, and King Ning only raised his eyebrows and sneered, refusing to believe anything he said.

Since he refused to believe it, and since he was willing to let us go that day, it must be... all right?What are you afraid of?Why do you insist on taking me to hide in a hurry?

In the current situation, he knew that Xie Lv was right.

It was him, so naive.

"...Ming, Zhaoming, wake up."

The air is filled with faint incense, blending with the musk behind him, the sweetness is so sweet that it makes people's minds swell.Not far away from the screen, shadowy buildings could be seen shaking slightly.

King Ning's voice slowly carried a dark echo, accompanied by the crisp sound of the chess pieces, as if he was picking up a chess piece from the chess box, putting it down again; picking it up, putting it down again, and so on.

The sound of the bed, creaking and rustling, the person on the bed took a deep breath of air-conditioning, seemed to turn over suddenly, and bumped the head of the bed with a muffled sound.

"Ugh..."

"woke up?"

"You...here..."

Xie Lu's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't been in the water for a long time.Murong Zhi's heart was throbbing, and he couldn't tell whether it should be joy or despair.

Fortunately, he is still alive.

Not good, their group... all fell into the hands of King Ning.

Murong Zhi couldn't guess how he would be treated.Since they were going to be arrested, why did they let them leave the Yunjin Palace that day, and since they were released, why were they arrested and tied up here?

Through the screen, he couldn't make a sound.Xie Lu was on the opposite side, but he couldn't see him here.

"Where am I... now? My lord, where are the rest of Palace Master Murong?"

……

If Murong Zhi said he didn't feel relieved, he must be lying.

No matter how dangerous and treacherous the situation is at the moment, when Xie Lv wakes up, the first person he asks is his whereabouts.

Perhaps, with his words, it is enough.

The body still doesn't listen at all.Murong Zhi struggled with all his strength, not to mention that he didn't move a single bit, the whole room was so quiet that he couldn't hear the sound of half a needle falling on the ground.

On the other side of the screen, King Ning said leisurely: "Don't worry, Palace Master Murong is fine, very well."

"The other...where is he now?"

"He's safe."

"..."

"Palace Master Murong, that black-skinned boy, and that baby are all very well—oh, speaking of which, where did you and him get a baby? Could it be that the demon is not only good at controlling corpses? Knowing magic, can he bear children for you like a woman? If that's the case, it's no wonder, you will like him?"

"That child... Zhao Zhao is just an orphan, he is innocent."

"Innocent?" King Ning smiled lowly: "He is innocent. Which one of them is not innocent? But they are all people from outside the world, but they all just want to find a quiet place. It's just that you want to be free in the world of mortals, and never ask about world affairs, isn't it?"

"But who told them..."

"It's not good for them to provoke anyone, but they provoked you—?!"

"you are mine."

……

It was just four words, and the voice was not heavy, but Murong Zhi felt as if he had been hammered, and his eyes were blank.

"Zhaoming, you are mine."

No, no, he's not yours!no!

he's mine.It's my little Jiang, he's been mine from the very beginning, he...

A chess piece hit the chessboard heavily.The creaking sound of the wood made Murong Zhi's heart tremble again. On the other side of the screen, King Ning's figure trembled slightly, and his voice trembled violently.

"I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, you... actually want to escape, and you want to escape with him!"

"..."

"It's so easy... It's so easy for me to come all the way to find you. Fortunately, you packed your bags all night and couldn't wait to escape—? Zhaoming, what place are you going to escape to that I can't find?! Hmm? Where are you going to escape to?!"

"Why do not you speak?"

"Why...why are you looking at me like that?! You didn't look at me like that before! What did I do wrong... What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong?! Huh?"

"Obviously I told you to stay in the capital and trust me, but how did you do it? Why didn't you trust me?! In a blink of an eye, you ran away from me in a blink of an eye, and you even ran to King Cheng's territory ——Heh, how many people do you know who told me that you became a king through adultery? How many people asked me to send Shadow Pavilion to kill you earlier to avoid future troubles? I have to explain to them, and I will explain to them one by one! Ha! "

"Whether it's Yuliang or Xiaoying! There's Xun Chang, and so many left and right hands! I'll explain to them over and over again that you didn't betray me, and you can't betray me—!"

"In the end, how did you do it? How did you treat me?! You still dare to run—!?"

"Zhaoming, do you know that after you left, I searched for you everywhere? Do you know how worried I was? You are carrying Gu poison, and no one but me can save you, but you are hiding in a place like a snow mountain, and let me It's easy to find... Heh, what if you get poisoned before Xun Zhang arrives? What if you die like that in a place I don't know—?"

"Zhaoming, I know you hate me."

"But you think I'm easy...do you think I'm easy?!"

He stood up suddenly, and the chair scratched the ground with a muffled sound.The chessboard was also annoyed, and rolled to the ground with a clatter.

"I was born in the emperor's family, and I didn't choose it myself! Which step do you think, do you think should not be careful and cautious? Which step can be done by yourself?! You blame me for not saving you? You blame me for not saving you—! Haha ...I don't save you, don't you think I don't want to?! How do you think I got here when you were in the prison?"

"I didn't plead for you. Isn't Liang Wang my man? Xiaoying is not my man? They didn't plead for you?! I was devastated to find medicine for you, but you are good, you are good...you see I have nothing to say, I just want to run away? How did you treat me in the capital back then, now that you see me, you can only run away?"

"I'm...only you, Zhaoming. From the beginning to the end, I'm only you!"

"Only you! I am wary of Yuliang and Xiaoying. They are my brothers and sisters. They have stood behind me to help me deal with King Cheng all these years-but just because they are my brothers and sisters! I have to guard against them all the time. Follow the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole! The whole court,

The only person I believe in is you alone. "

"You once promised me that you would be my halberd and be my good bow. You forgot all of these?!"

"You...have you forgotten how sincere you were to me back then?"

"For me, I dived into the icy lake to search for the treasures under the lake, and when I came up, I was frozen; for two years and five months, I fought in the northern desert, and I was seriously injured twice and died without any complaints; the court spoke bluntly for me, Being framed and imprisoned several times by King Cheng, and countless times being held accountable by the emperor; not to mention what you did for me in the dark—”

Xu Xu was choked with sobs at King Ning's words.In Murong Zhi's eyes, there was also a slight mist.

"Those, I haven't forgotten."
