This shadow guard is kinda nice

The closer you get to Jinling, the more killers there will be on the road. Wave after wave, every two days, Mo Ran and the others will meet a group. At first Xiao Yian was startled, but after seeing a lot, he got used to it. Well, anyway, with Mo Ran around, those people can't rob Zhao Kai.Although Ah Shi said that his martial arts were not as good as Mo Ran's, he was not bad, so he came back with bumps and bumps along the way.

They rested at a place fifty miles away from Jinling, and they would be able to arrive at Jinling tomorrow. Xiao Yian was not unhappy, the days of fear, cold and hunger were finally coming to an end.

A few people gathered around the cave, with firewood piled in the middle, and from time to time there was a crackling sound, and some sparks popped out.

Xiao Yi'an leaned against the stone wall, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, the strong wine slipped down his throat, as if it was on fire, but his body also warmed up, his eyes drifted from time to time to Mo Ran who was sitting across from him.

Half of Moran's face was hidden in the firelight, bright and dark, Xiao Yi'an squinted his eyes, but he couldn't see what kind of expression was on his face.

Then Xiao Yian lowered his head and smiled again.

Even if you can't see Mo Ran's expression clearly, you don't need to guess that he can know that he has a cold face and no expression.

Xiao Yi'an couldn't help thinking about the time he spent with Mo Ran during this time, he had never seen him have any mood swings, even when one person confronted several people at the same time.

He stood aside and watched with horror, but Mo Ran didn't change his face. At that moment, he understood that this was not a man with an empty appearance. He was silent, tough, and also ruthless.

When he struck out, he was so fierce that others didn't dare to look directly at him. Even if he was injured, he didn't say a word. He just stayed by himself and applied medicine and bandaged himself expressionlessly, as if he didn't feel any pain at all. Also don't let other people help.

But Xiao Yi'an knew that he was in pain too.

When they met the third batch of killers, the prince went crazy. The number of people sent that time was more than ever before, and they were much more powerful. Ah Shi couldn't stop him, he was injured, leaving Mo Ran alone Get entangled with several killers.

Mo Ran had fought fiercely for a long time, and killed most of them by himself. If he hadn't wanted to protect them, he might have been able to clean them up, and he wouldn't have been stabbed in the shoulder with a dagger.

Fortunately, when the dagger was halfway through, the man was hit by Mo Ran's backhand. The shoulder injury was not deep, but it was definitely painful.Mo Ran refused everyone's help, and he walked away alone before sitting down.The clothes on his upper body were stripped off, and blood flowed down his arms. Without stopping for a moment, he took out the medicine powder from his arms and poured it on.

Xiao Yi'an followed behind him, until he saw his half-naked body, he almost stopped and stood not far from him.

He saw with his own eyes that Mo Ran's brows were tightly frowned because of the powder, and he tore it lightly, Xiao Yi'an understood after a while.

It's not that he is not afraid of pain, but he just doesn't want to show it in front of a group of irrelevant people.

In other words, he trusts only himself.

Xiao Yi'an smiled, no, there should still be someone he can trust, but they are not here.

After Mo Ran tore off the intact inner garment and bound it tightly, he got up, turned his head and passed by Xiao Yi'an who was stunned.

He knew that Xiao Yi'an had been following him, but he was too lazy to say anything to stop him. His shoulder hurt badly, and the last injury was still aching, and now he was hit again. I don't want to have too much contact with him.

It was just that the master asked him to follow Xiao Yi'an, and he did so, and he owed nothing for the rest.

Xiao Yi'an watched him leave helplessly. For some reason, he inexplicably thought of a day before when he came out of Zuiyue Tower and got drunk. He vaguely remembered that he met a beauty at that time, and the beauty had a great temper. , hurt his wrist, and when he woke up again, he returned to the palace.

At that time, he had a severe headache, and his subordinates said that he passed out drunk in the alley. They searched for a long time before finding him, but he always felt that he had forgotten something.

There was a faint beauty in black in his mind, but he couldn't remember what it looked like. He thought it was a hallucination from drinking, or maybe it was just a dream. He shook his head, his mind was blank , there is nothing left, except that there is still a dull pain in the wrist.

Until Mo Ran walked straight towards him and passed by, it was strange that the beauty in black in his mind merged with Mo Ran's figure.

The face that had always been blurred gradually became clear, the eyebrows and eyes were delicate and cold, and the thin lips were tightly pursed, which was clearly ink stained.

For a long time, he always felt that Mo Ran was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met him. It wasn't the first meeting at the banquet, nor the re-encounter at the prefect's mansion, but the unexpected meeting outside the Zuiyue Tower earlier.

Xiao Yian suddenly smiled.

It was cold at night, and there was a constant cold wind blowing at the entrance of the cave. Xiao Yi'an tightened his clothes, he came back to his senses, and glanced at the opposite side, Mo Ran was still sitting there, no different from before.

In fact, this way, he wanted the prince's people to rescue Zhao Kai, Xiao Yichen went to the city first, and the prince had to chase some back. It's interesting for you to come and go, but after that night, he witnessed Mo Ran gritting his teeth, He dismissed the idea when the lone man administered the medicine to himself.

Even if he watched the fire from the other side, he didn't want to affect the innocent.

For a moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why Xiao Yichen liked this man. He did have the ability to make others fascinated by him. Compared with him, his appearance was the least worth mentioning.

Xiao Yi'an raised his head and took another sip of wine, the fire in front of him was warm and warm, why is there no such person around him, so maybe he will only like this one in the future...

Such thoughts floated in his mind, Xiao Yi'an was stunned for a moment, what was he thinking?Let him love someone so much all his life?is it possible?

Maybe it's not Xiao Yi'an.

Mo Ran didn't know that Xiao Yi'an could think so much in his heart, he was fascinated by the fire, he was going to Jinling soon, and the master didn't know what to do.

During the time when he returned to Jinling, he was the one who wrote letters to his master. The master only wrote to him once. One more time, afraid of breaking it, he restrained himself, but at the same time couldn't help but want to take a look.

Although the letter only wrote a few words to remind him to pay attention to safety, he was very happy.

He began to expect that the master would write him a letter after that, but after that, the master never wrote to him again. Mo Ran felt a little disappointed, but soon he comforted himself that he would just write to the master. , if the master wants to write for him, he can write it, and if he doesn't, he won't.

He didn't ask for much, as long as the master was willing.

Mo Ran was thinking about it, but Xiao Yi'an made a sound, and he said to Zhao Kai who was huddled by the torch, "Sit over there." He pointed to the dark and cramped corner, "This king is upset when he sees you." , stay away from this king."

The others watched silently without making a sound.

Along the way, they were all more or less used to Xiao Yi'an's bad temper, and most of the time, he also lost his temper at Zhao Kai, so the others naturally wouldn't say much.

Zhao Kai looked at him bitterly, didn't say anything, got up and reluctantly went to the corner, buried his head in his arms.

Mo Ran glanced lightly, then leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

Capital

The prince had already received the news that Xiao Yian was about to return to Jinling, and he was so angry that he smashed a lot of things. He sent several waves of people along the way, but none of them succeeded. The killer went out, but they didn't bring Zhao Kai back smoothly.Let's not talk about Xiao Yichen's side, originally he didn't have much hope, so for him, it was still within the acceptable range.

But for Xiao Yi'an's side, he really couldn't swallow this breath, the news came back, Xiao Yi'an didn't have many people around him, so why couldn't he bring Zhao Kai back.

Xiao Beining was furious, and Prime Minister Sun Baizhi didn't dare to say anything. He waited for a long time, and when Xiao Beining was almost angry, he approached and said softly, "Prince, relax."

Xiao Beining heard the words, and the brows that had been stretched just now were frowned again, "How can this make the prince feel relieved?"

He really didn't want to think about the fact that Zhao Kai couldn't be rescued after sending people one after another.

Sun Baizhi didn't say much, he just looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, there is also Shen Yinan."

Xiao Beining was stunned for a moment.

"Shen Yinan—" Xiao Beining murmured in a low voice, the haze on his face dissipated.

Yes, and Shen Yinan.
