Emperor Jiangtai rolls like water and Yiren

"You...why are you here?" My heart was full of doubts, Xuanyuan's lips moved slightly, and he almost couldn't believe that the person in front of him was really Jun Ruoshui.

Just now when he woke up in the cave, he did think of him immediately when he smelled a faint scent of gardenias, but the strange environment and strangeness on his body made him have to be vigilant.

So when he heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave, his body attacked almost without thinking about it.

"If I hadn't been here, you might have gone to see the King of Hades by now." Ruoshui rolled his eyes at the sky, looked at Xuanyuan reproachfully, paused, and said, "We found the woman next to you in the government prison. Long dead body, I guess something is going to happen to you.”

After finishing speaking, he sighed heavily, and felt a little pity when he thought of the corporal who had died unjustly. That person might not even know why he died when he arrived at the Temple of Yama.

I don't know if those little ghosts in Yan Luodian will tell him the truth, thinking about this ridiculous question, Ruoshui curled his lips.

Xuanyuan groaned and didn't answer, recalling the many traps along the way in his mind, he felt that he was really brave and foolish. Although he went out to pick up the big beams on behalf of his father, he didn't even know how much weight he had.

If God hadn't let him meet Ruoshui by chance, I'm afraid he would really be dead now.

However, this boy who suddenly appeared in front of him and saved himself, can he really trust him completely?

Xuanyuan asked himself, but couldn't get an answer. If he was just an ordinary person and didn't bear Xiliu's country and future, he would definitely make this friend without hesitation, and talk to him regardless of the consequences.

However, as a prince, as the future king of Xiliu, he bears not only the throne he will inherit from his father, but also the expectations and future of each of Xiliu's people, as well as his own ambitions and ambitions. .

There is no room for mistakes on this road ahead.

Even though there were a lot of thoughts in his heart, Xuanyuan still had no expression on his face, he just hid all the complicated thoughts, but unexpectedly, this was not enough to deceive Ruoshui.

He rolled his eyes, sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you have many scruples in your heart, don't worry, I will throw your hot potato back to the barracks in the morning and leave, now I will go find some Food, you go in and sit for a while."

After saying these hurtful words, Ruoshui patted his hands, turned around and left, his whole back was exposed in front of Xuanyuan without any defense, but he didn't worry at all.

Such a huge difference in performance between the two made Xuanyuan feel a little ashamed in his heart. He was obviously the one being helped, but he was still suspicious.

But besides being ashamed, he also knew that he had no other choice at all.

Ruoshui, who had already hidden in the forest, turned his head and glanced at Xuanyuan. With just one glance, he could see clearly the ever-changing emotions on Xuanyuan's face.

He couldn't help sighing softly, the so-called people can't help themselves in the Jianghu, and Xuanyuan holds great power, even if he doesn't want to, he must take precautions in advance.

However, even if he was suspected, he still couldn't throw Xuanyuan away easily. He had to repay Xuanyuan's kindness for letting him enter the city.

The setting sun has dropped a lot, the sun is bloody, and the evening wind is slightly drunk. This scene makes people's minds obscure.

Chixia walked slowly to Xuanyuan's side, raised her breath and rubbed the wound on his shoulder, Xuanyuan stretched out her hand to caress it gently, and rested for a moment tiredly leaning against it.

But there is still a question lingering in his mind, if Ruoshui, who met by chance, really treats him sincerely, what can he give in return?

Ruoshui returned to the cave with a few fruits after about a cup of tea time, and also brought back branches that could be used to make a fire.

After the sun went down, the mountain was suddenly plunged into darkness. The faint moonlight was not enough to penetrate the lush branches and leaves of the old trees, and the sporadic light spots could not illuminate the vast darkness.

Ruoshui lit a fire in the cave, peeled the fruit with a dagger, and then handed it to Xuanyuan.

During the process, both of them were speechless, Xuanyuan looked at Ruoshui's red eyes under the firelight, those eyes were slightly lowered, and the butterfly-like eyelashes were also shining red, as if they were also burning.

"Hey, there are not many animals in the mountains. I can't bear to kill them, so I can only wrong you to eat some fruits."

Passing the peeled fruit to Xuanyuan, Ruoshui smiled and said something mischievous.

Xuanyuan reached out to take it, but his forehead was covered with black lines. This guy actually said he couldn't bear to kill?Even though I was dizzy when I was poisoned before, I still vaguely saw him cutting open the sky full of blood among the enemies. Could it be that the animals on this mountain were alive, but the people were not alive?

But in his heart he complained, Xuanyuan still controlled himself not to say these words directly, but looked up at him and asked: "My identity...is Master Cheng told you?"

Ruoshui nodded and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Hey, Ye Weiming, I should have thought of it, how can outsiders be allowed to use such a name that matches the name of the current crown prince with the extremely domineering rules of the royal family?"

"...There are no rules that are so overbearing."

"You still say that there is no such thing. In all dynasties and dynasties, the state officials were only allowed to set fires, and the common people were not allowed to light lamps?"

"That was a misunderstanding."

"Anyway, the common saying is there, I don't care if I misunderstood it." Shrugging, Ruoshui made a face at Xuanyuan.

"You seem to hate the royal family?" Xuanyuan asked tentatively, sensing something in his tone.

Ruoshui frowned, pretended to be thinking hard and struggled for a long time, then replied with a smile: "Yes, your eyesight is indeed very good."

"Where did the royal family offend you?"

"Why don't you guess for yourself?"

Xuanyuan didn't know what to say for a while, although Ruoshui was still smiling, his intuition told him that there was something hidden in Ruoshui's heart.

But he also understood very well that Ruoshui would not give him any clues any further.

However, since he hated the royal family, but he still rescued him after learning his identity, does that mean that his luck is extremely good?

"By the way, there may be spies in your army. You'd better investigate after you go back, but don't let me snatch you back from King Yama, and you ran back in a blink of an eye."

After a while, Ruoshui bit the fruit and said again, with an expression that seemed to be quite suspicious of Xuanyuan Yubing's ability.

Think about it too, with an army of hundreds of thousands, where should this spies be investigated?

Speaking of which, how Yin Mubai replaced Xuanyuan's guards is really incredible.

Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth lightly: "The Xiliu Army has a team of more than a hundred people. The team leader of this team has not been in office for a long time, so he may not be familiar with the team members. The other corporal leaders in the army have been in the army for several years, presumably the problem will not be too big."

"But, how did Yin Mubai calculate so cleverly that you would just choose this team?"

Even with a team of more than a hundred people, there are more than a thousand teams in the army. It is impossible to know which team Xuanyuan and Lin Qi will choose.

"Don't say which team I will choose, even if I will stay, he can't predict it."

"Indeed, even if the assassin misses, you may not stay and interrogate yourself." Nodding, Ruoshui thought, "Then, could it be..."

Eyes widened in surprise, Ruoshui and Xuanyuan thought of the same question. Could it be that this scene of assassinating assassins and testing poison was all wrong?

Yin Mubai's team of dead soldiers might have originally planned to use them on the battlefield, but such a great opportunity to assassinate, no one would want to miss it.

"If that's the case, it's a blessing in disguise. Thinking about it, if Yin Mubai knew in advance that you were traveling alone with only a few people around you, you should have arranged more killers. The dozens of killers now seem a bit hasty."

"But he knows everything that happened in Jianzhu City like the palm of his hand, so it can be seen that there are indeed spies in the city."

"Well, although the city gates are strictly checked, there are ways for martial arts practitioners to bypass the city gates and enter the city."

Nodding slightly, Xuanyuan looked around and asked, "How did you find this cave?"

"Before, I thought the mountain road was a detour, and I tried to go directly through the forest and across the mountain, and found this cave. Your luck is really good. If there is no such cave, I might not be able to force poison for you."

Ruoshui said, ate another fruit, and blinked at Xuanyuan by the way.

Xuanyuan shook his head with a smile, and he also felt that his luck was extremely good.

"Then why don't you just send me back to the barracks?" Xuanyuan asked again after a long silence.

Ruoshui reached out and added a few more branches to the crackling fire, and said with a smile, "I don't know how many spies you have in your army, I can't take the risk of saving your life and risking myself .”

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to meet Xuanyuan's pensive pupils, and now there was a jumping fire in those deep eyes.

Ruoshui saw his hazy white figure in the firelight, and for some reason, that focused gaze made his heart skip a beat.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow to catch up with the army." After looking at each other for a while, Ruoshui turned away first.

Xuanyuan's pupils were already deep, but now that the figure was reflected under the firelight, it seemed as if he had been completely sucked into those pupils. He always felt that if he continued to look at it, he would get lost.

Standing up and walking to the edge of the stone wall, Ruoshui took the long sword and sat down against the stone wall, leaned his head against the wall, and closed his eyes.

Seeing his movements, Xuanyuan knew that he didn't want to say anything more, so he also leaned against the stone wall immediately.

But with his eyes closed for a long time, he couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuanyuan woke up in the morning light.

Pale golden sunlight shone into the cave through the cracks in the stone, illuminating the entire space.

The suspended creatures spinning and floating in the trail of sunlight are as eye-catching as elves. Xuanyuan opened his eyes and was dazed for a long time before remembering what happened before falling asleep yesterday.

Shaking his head slightly, he drove away the muddy thoughts in his head, and when he got up, he realized that he was covered with a long gown, which was white, similar to the long gown on Ruoshui but seemed a little different.

Startled, he turned his head and found that the ground where Ruoshui sat yesterday was now empty, with only a faint shadow left.

He hurriedly stood up, not forgetting to grab the clothes covering his body to prevent it from falling to the ground, and walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, Chixia and Liuyun snuggled up and fell asleep peacefully, but there was no sign of Ruoshui anywhere.

Xuanyuan frowned slightly, walked to the edge of the forest and looked down.

The dark green sea of ​​trees stretches endlessly in front of the eyes, and the earthy yellow mountain road is hidden in the sea of ​​trees and cannot be seen clearly. If you look further away, you can see the hazy shadow of Jianzhu City.

"You're awake." Ruoshui's soft and laughing voice came from the side, Xuanyuan turned around and saw him slowly approaching with a few fruits in his hand.

"Here, I must be very hungry. We can set off after eating. How is the injury?"

"It's okay." Xuanyuan said as he stretched out his hand to touch his shoulder, and there was no pain at all.

"Hey, don't be surprised, what I gave you is a panacea." Blinking his eyes, if the water was covered with a sly smile, he raised his hand and handed the fruit.

Xuanyuan took it, and he was a little surprised by the drops of water on his skin.

Ruoshui untied another water bottle from his waist, and handed it over, "Hey, rinse your mouth, you, a prince who is used to being served in the deep palace, shouldn't be able to bear to eat directly? I have washed all the other fruits. Now, you can rest assured to eat."

The joking words made Xuanyuan's head full of black lines, but it was more of an accident, "Did you go to the river at the foot of the mountain?"

From here to the foot of the mountain, it takes half an hour to ride a thousand-mile horse like Chixia or Liuyun. At this time, it is not long after dawn. If the water goes down the mountain, how can it be so fast?

But if you don't go down the mountain, where will the water come from?

If it is the source of that waterfall, it is on the other side of the mountain, and it will take longer to turn over than to go down the mountain.

Ruoshui nodded when he heard the words, with pride in his phoenix eyes, took a bite of the fruit in his hand, and said with a smile: "I went straight down from there, and it won't be long before I arrive."

He stretched out his hand and pointed downwards, following the direction he pointed, Xuanyuan faintly saw the river not far from Jianzhu.

"You...did you use lightness kung fu?"

After thinking for a while, he finally figured out what he meant by "it won't be long."

However, although this sea of ​​trees seems to be continuous, in fact, the gaps are quite large. It is really impossible to go straight down this road without extremely high lightness kung fu.

"Of course, this is a morning exercise. If I didn't see that you were injured, I would have dragged you along." Ruoshui raised his chin and said with a look of ease in doing such a thing.

After biting off the fruit in two or three bites, he stretched out his arms and stretched his waist. They were standing in the west direction and couldn't see the sun, but the light was enough to see everything in their field of vision clearly.

Xuanyuan ate the fruit quietly, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Ruoshui looking into the distance with a smile on his lips, but he didn't understand what he was laughing at who always had a smile on his face.

"Hey, Xuanyuan, from here, the land of Xiliu is boundless." Suddenly, Ruoshui said something, although the smile was still on his lips, but Xuanyuan felt that his smile at this moment was not the same as before, Those clear phoenix pupils at this moment seemed to reveal a distant meaning.

Xuanyuan nodded and didn't answer, knowing that he was also looking at this side from the corner of his eye.

"Xuanyuan, what is your ambition? Do you want to turn the endless land beyond the mountain into the land of Xiliu?"

Turning her head, Ruoshui's beautiful phoenix eyes had some look that Xuanyuan couldn't figure out at once.

Xuanyuan thought for a while, then shook his head, "If the world is peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, even if there is only a square inch of land in Xiliu, I will not fight for anything."

"It's a pity that I don't offend people now, but people offend me, isn't it?" Ruoshui answered clearly, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, the land of Xiliu is fertile, and it has been the target of enemy countries for many years."

"How long has this war been going on?"

"It's been five years, and the south has changed from the coexistence of seven countries to the current situation of four countries competing with each other."

"Xuanyuan, if you rule the world, will you be a good emperor?"

"I hope the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

Closing his eyes slightly, Xuanyuan said with emotion, he never told anyone these words, and no one asked him what he thought.

He is the prince, he is the future King Xiliu, everyone knows this, they only know that he will take up the country for his father, but they forget that he also has his own ideas as Xuanyuanye.

But some people just have the power to make you speak, no matter how deep you hid it in your heart before, if you are gently pushed by that person, you will say everything.

Ruoshui turned his head and looked at him quietly, with a bright smile on his face, which surpassed the beautiful golden morning light.

He felt that he had finally seen Xuanyuan clearly. He was no longer the empty-handed Prince Xuanyuan Ye of Xiliu that others had mentioned before, and he was not just the one who fought with him outside Jianzhu City for a piece of jade pendant. He came to the city to recognize him as a handsome young man as a friend. At this moment, the image of Xuanyuan in his heart is not only full, but also seems to have grown a lot taller.

For the country, there are many people who are ambitious and only think about themselves, but this one in front of him said that he only wants the country and the people to be safe.

Ruoshui couldn't help thinking, it's a good thing he saved this person before, and didn't give up easily because of his own private thoughts.

"Let's go, if you don't send you back to the barracks, I'm afraid your army will come up to sweep the mountains. I will also explain to your army doctor about changing the medicine."

Taking a deep breath, he knelt down to caress Liuyun and Chixia, watching the two horses neighing and standing up, he smiled, shook his head and shook off the fallen leaves on his body.

He took the gown from Xuanyuan's hand again, went into the cave to unpack his luggage, and after a while, he came out with the package and two long swords.

"Here, your sword." The phoenix eyes slightly raised, he looked at Xuanyuan and smiled.

The gentle and gentle smile, like the most genial wind, blows over Xuanyuan Botao's dark heart.

He took the sword dully, and suddenly realized that Ruoshui was really helping him along the way, rescuing the field, healing wounds, making fire, foraging for food, covering him, and holding the sword.

"If...you..."

His lips moved slightly, Xuanyuan almost called out the word "Ruoshui", but after all he felt it was abrupt, and wanted to change his name to Brother Jun, but felt that it was too raw.

He was stunned for a while, but his gaze fell directly on Ruoshui's face without avoiding it.

"Just call me Ruoshui, I didn't help myself with a name." Blinking his eyes, Ruoshui smiled happily, turned over on Liuyun, turned his horse's head and wanted to start.

Xuanyuan looked at his back, unable to move for a while, until Ruoshui turned around to urge him, he looked at him and said, "Ruoshui, why are you treating me so well?"

Meeting by chance, this is a stranger, does he treat everyone like this, or just treat him?

If the water is silent, there is a water-like luster flowing in the Yingying phoenix eyes, why treat him so well?In fact, he himself was a little confused.

This person who suddenly appeared in front of him with a dripping image just inexplicably won his favor. There was no extra reason at all, and he couldn't help but want to save him.

After looking at Xuanyuan for a long time, he finally smiled slyly, "The bento is to repay your kindness for letting me into the city."

"That's all?"

"If you really want to find another reason, then besides playing, I'm also a nosy person."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xuanyuan's answer, he lightly raised the rein in his hand, Liuyun shook his head, and ran towards the direction of the mountain road.

He knew there was no point in saying some things, and he knew it was not the time to do some things, so half-truths and half-false words were the best choice for each other to face each other calmly.

Is it just the favor of entering the city?Xuanyuan raised the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, and also rode on Chixia, following Liuyun's footsteps.

Ruoshui looked back and saw that Xuanyuan was following up, so Liu Yun sped up a bit. Although the mountains and forests were intricate, it was not too difficult for a BMW like Liu Yunxiang Chixia.

After entering the mountain path, the road ahead became flat. Liuyun and Chixiabu showed the strong foot power of Qianlima. They ran along the mountain path for more than an hour, and then saw the Xiliu army stationed at the entrance of the plain.

The black military flag fluttered in the wind, and the dazzling golden color of the word "黑" on it reflected in the sunlight created an incomparably magnificent aura.

From far away, a sentry spotted Xuanyuan, and with his excited shout, the entire Xiliu Army erupted.

A wave of black battle armor surged towards this side, Ruoshui clenched the sword in his hand, watching every move around him vigilantly.

Lin Qi didn't disturb the army for a long time. He came galloping alone on a horse, gesturing for the army to stand by.

Running in front of Xuanyuan's horse, he dismounted and knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Lin Qi has neglected his duty and failed to escort him well. Your Highness, please punish him with military law."

"Get up, it's none of your business."

Xuanyuan's tone was indifferent, but Lin Qi still didn't dare to get up, and knelt straight.

"You didn't send someone to look for me to mess up the army's position. Well done, get up." Looking at the shape of the army and the number of tents in the distance, Xuanyuan said happily.

He was still worried about this problem on the way just now, but now it seems that although Lin Qi is young, he has a clear idea of ​​marching and fighting.

When a large army goes out to fight, it is most taboo to mess up the position. Although soldiers come to block and water comes to flood, sometimes it is really safe to respond to all changes with the same.

"It's not that my subordinates didn't send people to look for His Highness, it's just because the soldiers who came back said that the person who took His Highness away was Mr. Jun, so my subordinates..." Lin Qi fell silent at this point, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

Ruoshui smiled slightly, blinked his eyes and looked at him and asked, "How about you?"

"This subordinate just feels that Mr. Jun will not harm His Highness, and that he did not bring His Highness back to the camp immediately must be due to certain considerations."

"Hey? Why does Master Lin have such an idea? Could it be that Ruoshui seems to be a good person?"

"That's not true, it's just intuition. Lin Qi feels that the gentleman and His Highness are destined."

She smirked, but Xuanyuan was taken aback by Lin Qi's words.

Ruoshui beside him was already laughing loudly, and the laughter spread far away, as if he was riding the wind.

But Xuanyuan didn't know how to understand the word "destiny".

"There are still spies in the army, have you found out?" Xuanyuan didn't think about that annoying question, and asked the important things first.

Lin Qi stood up, turned his head and waved towards the barracks, and then three men who had taken off their armor and only their jackets were pressed up.

"Due to a lot of transfers before departure, the lieutenants and soldiers did not fully understand each other, so they were inserted into the eyeliner and did not pay attention. Fortunately, the soldiers who came back yesterday said this. After a thorough investigation, these three people are the remaining ones. spies."

"Okay, take him into custody first, and I'll interrogate him myself later."

"Yes."

After finding out about the spies, Xuanyuan returned to the camp, passed on the military doctor, and entered the main tent with Ruoshui and Lin Qi. After waiting for a while, the military doctor hurried over with a medicine box.

"I heard from the soldiers who came back yesterday that His Highness was seriously injured, which made this old man very anxious."

The military doctor was an old man with temple eyebrows, he looked over sixty years old, full of vicissitudes, but his body was very healthy, and he spoke with full of vigor, obviously he was a practicing family.

"Old Fu, please take care of those soldiers' injuries."

The battle yesterday was very tragic, Xuanyuan had already heard from Ruoshui that some of the returning soldiers must have been wounded.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, none of them were seriously injured, and some minor injuries have been properly treated, but it is your injury, Your Highness..."

Old Fu unwrapped the bandage wrapped around Xuanyuan's shoulder, and frowned immediately when he saw the wound where a piece of flesh had been gouged out.

Lin Qi's eyes widened and he took a deep breath, blinking his eyes and looking at Ruoshui who was waiting aside with a smile on his face.

Elder Fu also raised his head, looking straight at Ruoshui with eagle-like eyes.

Ruoshui has been staring at Mr. Fu since just now, and now that he is meeting his gaze, the smile on the corner of his mouth has deepened a lot.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and handed it over: "I was worried that the military doctor would not use this medicine, but now it seems that my worries are unfounded, old doctor, I didn't expect you to become a military doctor in the Xiliu Army .”

Facing the old man, although Ruoshui's tone was still naughty, his demeanor clearly contained respect for the old man.

Hearing this, Mr. Fu looked all over Ruoshui with his eyes, and finally landed on the long sword in his hand, and suddenly laughed loudly, "Cicada Wing Sword, you must be Jun Ruoshui, your master is okay, I haven't been there for many years paid him a visit.”

"Master, everything is fine, but if you have time to have a drink with him, old man, he will be very happy."

"Haha, after this battle is over, I'll go find him to talk about the old days."

Ruoshui smiled and nodded, turned to meet Lin Qi's blank gaze, and couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh.

"Your Highness, you have met a nobleman. If he hadn't dealt with this injury immediately, you would have survived, and this arm might be useless."

After examining the wound carefully and getting Xuanyuan's pulse, Mr. Fu said in relief.

While helping Xuanyuan wrap up the wound again, he turned his head and looked at Ruoshui approvingly, "You are really smart, you can learn whatever you want, and it's not in vain. Your master likes you the most."

Ruoshui didn't refuse after hearing this praise, her pair of phoenix eyes with a deep smile slyly blinked twice as a response.
