You Meng Yin

inquire.

"Do you want to consider taking back what you said last night?" he said.

Zhu Rong was slightly taken aback.

His tone was light, but he still couldn't hide the apprehension and caution in his words.

"I..." Zhu Rong hesitated for a while, then said, "Didn't you say that you would understand?"

Ye Chengqi lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, there was a wry smile in his eyes and lips.

"Yes, I'll figure it out, I've already figured it out." He spread his hands as if he didn't care, and said, "This is the result of what I want to understand."

Zhu Rong is speechless.

"Rong'er, you are very greedy and selfish, do you know that?" Ye Chengqi said suddenly.

Zhu Rong opened his lips, still not knowing what to say.

Ye Chengqi smiled wryly and continued.

"You don't want to be with me, but you still want me to treat you like I used to?" he said.

Zhu Rong was finally able to speak, she interrupted him.

"No." She said, "Mo Yan, in your eyes, it's either one or the other, must there be only these two outcomes?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Chengqi said, "Is there a third kind?"

"Of course there are." Zhu Rong said, "Even if I...can't be friends with you, you are also my silent brother, so can't we be friends?"

Ye Chengqi laughed, with a tinge of anger in his smile.

"Brother? Friend? Are you treating me like your two cousins?" He said, "Why are you so naive? Or do you think I'm as naive as you?"

Zhu Rong was startled.

Ye Chengqi bullied her and looked straight into her eyes.

"Zhu Rong, you know, as a person, I do everything for a purpose."

He said, "I'm not Ye Hongxuan, nor Su Yushi."

"Things that see no results, people who see no results, still hold on to that little bit of hope, and give wishful thinking, and I am moved myself."

"How could I be such a person?"

"What I want, I must get it. If I know I can't get it, then I don't want it from the beginning."

"It's either death or life, it's that simple."

Zhu Rong listened to him quietly.

Then she said, "So, if I don't give you an affirmative answer, you're going to treat me like a stranger from now on?"

Ye Chengqi narrowed his eyes and stared at her, as if he was about to say "yes" at any moment, but he never said it.

Zhu Rong pursed her lips.

"I understand."

She said, standing up.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang, it's getting late, please take me back to the villa." She said with a sigh of relief.

Ye Chengqi's eyes tightened suddenly, as if his heart had been pierced by thousands of ice knives.

He really deserves to be his god of fire.

Be ruthless, even more ruthless than him.

106 The End of the World

Zhu Rong and Ye Chengqi went back to the villa one after the other, without saying a word along the way.

She thought that he would find another garden for her to live in, or that he would move out from next door to her, or he would drive back to Pingliang or even Jin Jue.

But Ye Chengqi did nothing.

Except that he never took the initiative to look for her, and never shared a meal with her, he seemed to be the same as usual, ordering people to provide her with delicious food and drink every day, and to meet all her requirements.

There were always various people coming and going in Qinyuan, Ye Chengqi listened to their reports and then dealt with various things, he was still busy.

Occasionally, when meeting Zhu Rong with his head up or down, he would respectfully stand aside, waiting for her to pass first before he left.

Both Jing Shen and Jing Zhan can't bear to see them torture each other, but they themselves seem to be fine.

Zhu Rong even discovered new fun.

Ye Chengqi glanced out of the window, among the scattered flowers and shadows, one can vaguely see the soft and beautiful back of a girl fishing leisurely, the sunlight hits her body thinly, and the mottled gold and pink petals shake off, making people even more blurred.

"Kind of having fun." He murmured, and sat down by the window with a scroll in his hand.

So all the people accompanying him discovered that the place where His Royal Highness Duan usually sat had been shifted from the desk to the window facing the rockery fish pond.

When there was no one around, Ye Chengqi stood tall, silently staring out the window in a daze.In fact, sometimes you can't see that figure at all, and all you can see is a bunch of flowers.

But he knew that she was behind the flowers.

It's so close to the world, but it feels like this.

After Ye Chengqi regained his senses, he secretly mocked himself for acting like a child, hurting the spring and the autumn, and being sentimental.

He has always disdained it.

He walked back to the desk and sat down.

"Jing Zhan." He shouted.

When Jing Zhan came in, he saw His Highness sitting back in his usual position.

From the window on the side of the table case, Miss Su can't be seen...

Jing Zhan regained his composure.

"Your Majesty is here, what are your orders?" He said.

"Is there any news about Liu Kun's team?" Ye Chengqi asked.

"Not yet." Jing Zhan said, "But we have dispatched additional manpower, and Jing Shen has personally led people out to search for it."

Ye Chengqi nodded to show that he already knew, and waved his hand to signal him to back down.

Calling him here just now seems to be just because I am in a state of mind, and I am eager to do something serious to calm myself down.

Naturally, he has already heard the report, and the whereabouts of the missing people have not been found yet.

Jing Zhan hesitated and did not move.

"What's the matter, tell me." Ye Chengqi frowned.

Jing Zhan considered his words carefully, and asked carefully: "Your Highness, that Orchid that day...how should I deal with it?"

The servants and maidservants in the Rongxue Villa are not in his turn, but His Royal Highness specially ordered him to find those orchids to make Miss Su happy.He was not enslaved and did not do chores, so his status is special.

After that incident happened, Jing Zhan reprimanded the troubled Hu Ji and locked her up.But His Highness never gave further instructions, and he didn't dare to let him go indiscriminately.In case what happened that night, let's do it again...

But it is really embarrassing to tell His Highness such a thing, His Highness naturally does not want to think about it.

Sure enough, Ye Chengqi frowned even deeper.

"Which Orchid?" he said.

That's right, you're a fool, don't you always fail to see what the girl who crawled into your bed looks like?

"That's... that night." Jing Zhan laughed.

Seeing his expression, Ye Chengqi understood.

"What did you do to her?" he asked.

"It's closed..." Jing Zhan said, "There has never been anything like this before..."

Ye Chengqi gave him a sideways look.

Jing Zhan fell silent.

The maid climbed onto His Highness's bed privately, how dare you do this kind of thing a second time?

"Let it go." Ye Chengqi said.

Jing Zhan was a little surprised.

Ye Chengqi thought about it for a while.

"Go and ask her..." he said, "if she still wants to watch Hu Wu."

Jing Zhan realized that the "she" in these words was no longer referring to the orchid, but Miss Su.

He was about to answer "yes" when Ye Chengqi shook his head first.

"That's all." He said, "She probably wouldn't want to see something like that... Let's see what those barbarians think. If they are willing to stay, then they can be raised in this village. If they want to If you go back to the Western Regions, then send someone to send them back, and return them wherever they came from."

"……Yes."

After Jing Zhan withdrew as promised, Ye Chengqi picked up a pen to write.

But when he wrote a few words, he suddenly stopped.

It was clearly a military document in reply to General Jiang Mingji, but the word "Zhu Rong" came out from the pen at some point.

He threw down the pen angrily, leaned back on the back of the chair, and covered his eyes with his hands.

Ye Chengqi, you are already 24 years old, he said viciously in his heart, why are you still like those seventeen or eighteen year old boys?

He opened his eyes in agitation, stretched his arms and held the scroll aside, but he couldn't turn a page for a long time, his gaze seemed to be glued.

That's it!

He threw the scroll aside with all his strength, stood up resignedly, hesitated for a while, and finally took a few steps angrily to the window facing the fish pond, and pushed the window open.

Zhu Rongzheng was talking and laughing with the maid and returned with a full load, the fishing rod was still carried by her on her shoulders.

When the window a few steps away was suddenly pushed open from the inside, the two of them were startled.

Seeing Ye Chengqi's angry face again, Zhu Rong was even more surprised.

She didn't mean to hit him by the window...

"Did I... disturb you?"

Zhu Rong pointed to himself, and asked with some trepidation.

This sudden meeting also made Ye Chengqi startled.

He suppressed the anger on his face, and described it as a little stiff.

"No...please feel free." He said dryly, but finally omitted the word "Menghuang".

"……Oh."

Zhu Rong nodded without stopping, and continued to leave in a grand manner with the maidservant.

Then his anger is because of what happened in recent days, right?

Although she didn't know what happened, she could still feel the tension brought by those people who entered and exited Qinyuan in recent days.

I wonder if something happened to Jin Jue...

And did Su Mu know the secret buried in the Clothes Tomb...

"Girl, how do you plan to eat this fish today?"

The chatter and laughter of the servant girl interrupted Zhu Rong's thoughts.

This girl named Qingyan is gentle, gentle, intelligent and dexterous, although she can speak well but she doesn't make any noise.

Zhu Rong doesn't like the fact that there are many people around him, whether it's a playmate or someone who serves him, as long as he's smart and capable.

These days, Qingyan has been accompanying her to do this and that, killing time.

Every evening when Zhu Rong came back from catching fish, he would cook in person and make all kinds of food in different ways, such as fish balls and fish soup with fish meat, steamed fish, grilled fish and braised fish, almost all of them were cooked.

She thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Let's make fish soup."

107 Don't Think Too Much

The thick white and mellow fish soup is bubbling and steaming in the pot.

Zhu Rong scooped up some and tasted it.

The taste is not bad.

She put down the iron spoon, smacked her lips, but the face of Ye Chengqi that she saw today suddenly appeared in her mind.

What could make him so entangled and annoyed?

Could it be that something terrible happened?

She wanted to ask, but in the end she just filled a bowl of fish soup with her own hands and asked someone to deliver it to him.

When she walked back to her room slowly, she saw Ye Chengqi sitting in the room waiting for her.

Zhu Rong thought for a moment that she had gone to the wrong room, but she looked carefully, but she was sure.

Ye Chengqi raised the empty bowl in his hand at her.

"This fish soup is extremely delicious, please ask for another bowl." He said.

But what he drank was more than a bowl of fish soup.

When the servants served the food and wine in sequence, Ye Chengqi simply continued to sit at the table and dined with Zhu Rong.

This is something that has never happened in the past few days.

Jing Zhan waved his hands secretly, signaling all the servants to retreat, and closed the door by the way.

This strange atmosphere made Zhu Rong involuntarily pause.

These people must have misunderstood something, right?

"It's just a fish soup, it's just a matter of convenience, His Highness Duan Wang doesn't need to take it to heart." She said.

He didn't thank her, so don't take it to heart, just let him not think about it.

Ye Chengqi paused for a moment, then suddenly sneered.

He and she have talked to this extent, what else does he have to think about?

"Your Highness Menghuang must have misunderstood something, right? I just came here to taste this fish soup." Ye Chengqi narrowed his phoenix eyes and said, "Could it be that you are reluctant?"

Double entendre.

Is it because I can't bear fish soup, or because I can't bear anything else?

"Why, it's just fish soup." Zhu Rong said with a smile, his voice was dry.

Ye Chengqi also hooked the corner of his lower lip.

Both of them were silent, eating without saying a word.

Zhu Rong finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Has anything happened lately?" she asked.

Afraid that the scope of her question was too broad, Ye Chengqi didn't know how to answer, so she added a few more words.

"When I saw you in the evening, I was so angry. Why?" she said. "What happened?"

Why, you said why!

Ye Chengqi choked when she asked her.

But he swallowed his last mouthful of food slowly, before he replied: "You also heard that day, there are savages haunting the mountains behind here."

Zhu Rong was slightly surprised, she actually remembered this matter all the time.

"Is it true?" she said.

Ye Chengqi shook his head, and wiped his mouth with a soft handkerchief.

"Before we came, the food in this village was missing from time to time." He said, "There was also a woman who saw a figure flashing by at night, and almost thought she had seen a ghost. But later, she was not the only one. One person saw it, and several others also saw it."

"And then?" Zhu Rong asked.

"At first I thought Xiaoxiao got it from somewhere, but then I didn't feel like it. This thief didn't steal gold and silver, he only stole food." Ye Chengqi said, "I sent people to search the mountains, and found leftover chickens in the mountains. The bones and ox bones are all those lost in the village, and the tooth marks of the people left on them can be seen. And there is..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, making sure that Zhu Rong didn't intend to continue eating, Fang said: "Human... excrement was also found on the mountain."

Sure enough, Zhu Rong was a little hesitant when he heard it, and his expression was a little weird.

Ye Chengqi didn't allow the rich and noble families to build other gardens here. Although there are not many people in this mountain, it is not so remote that there are savages.After all, it was only a day's journey from Pingliang City, the capital of Northwest China.

"Do you think he's really a savage?" Ye Chengqi said.

"Probably not. If it is really a savage, it has never been seen before, how could it appear all of a sudden?" Zhu Rong said.

Could it be that someone who lived in seclusion like my own family suddenly moved in?It's just that these people's behavior is more primitive...

"So these days, what happened again?" she asked.

If it was just what he said and no other special events happened, naturally it wouldn't bother him to that extent.

Although Ye Chengqi's annoyed expression in the afternoon had some reasons, but Zhu Rong's move was considered to be wrong.

Ye Chengqi nodded.

"Among the people we sent out, a team has been missing for more than [-] hours." He said, "And the water they carried with them is definitely not enough to last more than [-] hours."

Zhu Rong was dumbfounded.

It is extremely cold in the mountains at night, sleeping outside in such weather, if not starving to death, I am afraid that I will freeze to death.

"You think it's something to do with the so-called 'savages'?" she said.

"I'm afraid it's not a real savage." Ye Chengqi said, "It's some kind of exile, or even an enemy spy, who fled and hid here."

The words "spies of the enemy country" made Zhu Rong's heart skip a beat.

Ye Chengqi, who sits in Pingliang, is the most solid barrier on the northwest border of Dazhen.

If it's what he said, then could these people come for him?

What if instead of spies, but killers?

Just as Zhu Rong's heart was beating wildly, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Found it! Found it!" someone shouted while running.

But he was clearly in the wrong place.

Zhu Rong heard the hurried footsteps, and went straight to the next room.

Ye Chengqi opened the door.

"Found what?" he asked.

The young guard immediately ran over and knelt down.

"The body was found," he said.

Ye Chengqi frowned.

"Four?" he said.

The missing team happened to be four people.

"No. Only Liu Kun and Zhao Mingyang were found." The guard said.

"Have you pulled it back?" Ye Chengqi asked.

"No." The guard said, "decent people are guarding the place."

Ye Chengqi didn't talk too much.

"Lead the way," he said.

Jing Zhan has already fetched his longbow and saber.

Before Ye Chengqi moved forward, he turned his head around.

"Stay here well."

He said to Zhu Rong, then looked at Jing Zhan.

"You stay," he said.

Jing Zhan took the lead.

Zhu Rong grabbed his sleeve.

"Me too," she said.

Ye Chengqi was slightly taken aback.

Seeing that he didn't immediately agree, Zhu Rong was impatient for a while, and said, "Isn't there two other people who haven't been found? I, I have dream consciousness, so I can help you find them. Moreover, if they are found and they are still alive, if they are treated Timely, maybe you can save your life..."

Ye Chengqi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Zhu Rong felt guilty when he saw him, and asked in a low voice: "There should be a doctor in this village, right? My medical skills should be better than ordinary doctors, but can I borrow his medicine box..."

Ye Chengqi looked away, and he waved his hands at Jing Zhan.

"Go get it," he said.

Jing Zhan ran away immediately.

Zhu Rongxian thought that he was going to get the medicine box, but seeing that he was running to Ye Chengqi's room, he couldn't help being puzzled.

Sure enough, Jing Zhan came back with a medicine box, but it didn't belong to any doctor in the village, but the one Zhu Rong was most familiar with. It was the one she carried to treat Xu Jingxing, and it was also the one she used in Zhuzhitang.

She stared at the medicine box with a dazed expression and a trembling heart.

"It's just a medicine box, I just thought it might be used sometimes." Ye Chengqi said, "Girl don't need to think about it."

In the entire Rongxue Villa, only Jing Shen and Jing Zhan know that Zhu Rong is Meng Huang.

If you don't think too much, what do I have to think about!

Zhu Rong came back to his senses, showing displeasure on his face, and he didn't know why he had to follow.

What does this man have to worry about?If others want to plot against him, they should first count how many lives they have.

And if something really happened, would it be useful for her to follow?

Maybe it's still useful...

"Of course." Zhu Rong said, "Then let's go."

Ye Chengqi squinted his eyes again, but suddenly grabbed her wrist, and after a moment's hesitation, his hand slid down and held her hand.

The two went out to Qinyuan together with Jing Zhan and others.

108 Trembling Mountain Forest

At night, the mountain wind blew fiercely, making the torches in the hands of the guards tremble, barely illuminating the two hideous corpses in the haystack.

Perhaps these can no longer be called two corpses, but just some scattered corpses that have been bitten apart.But people who are familiar with them can still barely identify their identities based on their clothing and broken faces.

The mountain wind has already blown the blood dry, and also blows away the bloody smell.

Ye Chengqi squatted down to inspect the remnant of the deceased, frowning slightly.

Zhu Rong squatted beside him, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, with a concentrated expression, but no fear in his eyes.

After a while, the two stood up one after another.

"Bring him back so he can be buried alive." Ye Chengqi ordered the people behind him.

Jing Zhan hurriedly dispatched people to start, and several guards came up at once, covered them with white cloth, and carefully carried the body parts.

Zhu Rong looked away and looked away.

"It was bitten to death," she said, "it was bitten to death while alive, not after death."

Ye Chengqi nodded.

"Can you see what the beast is?" he said.

Zhu Rong recalled that piece of rotten minced meat, and finally couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

She shook her head.

At this moment, there was a roar of tigers in the mountains in the distance, and there were faint screams of people overflowing.It is very far away in this silent mountain.

All around suddenly people turned their backs, the startled horse neighed continuously, all the guards were accidentally kicked down by the startled horse, or knocked off the horse's back, the torches in their hands fell to the ground and went out.

Chaos and panic broke out suddenly, and Ye Chengqi's expression changed slightly.But he quickly stabilized the situation and directed everyone to appease the frightened horse.

But the natural fear of horses towards tigers cannot be reversed by manpower.

With the roar of the tiger in the mountains again, countless horses knelt down with trembling legs.

"How can there be tigers in this area?" Jing Zhan changed his expression.

"There is still a team that has not returned from patrolling outside?" Ye Chengqi interrupted him and asked.

"Yes."

Depth of Field stepped forward from the side, pointing to the direction of the roaring tiger.

"That direction, our people should be going there." He said.

Ye Chengqi immediately took the reins sideways. This was his special mount, and it was also the only horse present that was not so frightened by the roar of the tiger that it knelt down.

Ye Chengqi stroked the horse's neck a few times, and the horse gradually calmed down.

He got on his horse.

"Your Highness!" Jing Shen and Jing Zhan lost their voices at the same time.

Their horses were still kneeling and unable to stand, so naturally they couldn't accompany them at this time.

Ye Chengqi stared, and was about to order them to take Zhu Rong back first, but Zhu Rong rushed forward and grabbed his horse's reins tightly.

Ye Chengqi had no choice but to stretch out his hand and bring her onto the horse's back, then followed the sound of people neighing and tigers roaring, and galloped away.

The night wind was bitter, as if cut by a knife, Zhu Rong curled up in Ye Chengqi's arms, blinded by the blow.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ye Chengqi asked loudly.

"Afraid!" Zhu Rong replied loudly against the strong wind, "That's why I have to stay with His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"

Is there a safer place in this world than around you?

Ye Chengqi tightened the reins of the horse, a smile spread around his tightly pursed thin lips, and his legs clamped the horse's belly again.

But with the galloping gallop of the horses, the surrounding mountains were deadly silent, and the black shadows were like giant beasts, waiting to devour the two intruders.Not to mention the roar of the tiger, even the screams and screams of people were completely eliminated.

Ye Chengqi's expression was solemn, and he dismounted slowly. At this time, they had rushed to a very deep place in the mountainside, and they should not be far from the place where the incident happened just now.

A staggering black figure suddenly jumped out of the haystack several feet high, and then a huge beast figure jumped out of the air, and with a roar of a tiger, it threw the man down.

The man was already injured, but at this moment he received the force of the sudden grab, the tiger's claw pierced through the flesh and blood on his back, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The sound of "duh" was Ye Chengqi's bow and arrow at a critical moment, aiming at the tiger's eyes in the light of the stars and the moon, and it was even more clear that it was a huge white-haired tiger.

It is said to be huge because it is at least twice as big as a normal tiger.

The white-haired tiger saw severe pain in his eyes, hissed miserably, let go of the previous man, and rushed towards the two of them.

The mount under Ye Chengqi's crotch, no matter how handsome it is, is still an animal.At this moment, facing the might of the beast king at such a close distance, he could no longer stand upright.

When Ye Chengqi mentioned Zhu Rong, he tiptoed his horse and swept up the treetops, while shouting, "Run!"

A man and a horse on the ground heard this cry, and at the same time trembled and ran away into the distance.

The white-haired tiger swooped down on Ye Chengqi and missed. The blood gushing from the left eye of the arrow blurred its vision, and it became more and more frantic. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he rushed towards the startled horse.

Before Zhu Rong could exclaim in surprise, he saw Ye Chengqi leap to the ground, and before he could see how he moved, he heard three more arrows ringing in the night wind, aiming at the tiger's body.

Although the white-haired tiger was frantic, it became even more alert after being hit by an arrow. It suddenly turned around to avoid the arrow, and then rushed towards the man who attacked it without hesitation.

The man who was chased by the tiger took the opportunity to get on the horse, but was thrown off the horse while running, and he could not hear the sound of moaning in pain for a while, it was hard to distinguish between life and death, but the horse took the opportunity to run away.

In the forest, only Ye Chengqi and the white-haired tiger were left.

Zhu Rong hugged the trunk of the tree tightly, and barely managed to keep from falling from the tree. Because of Ye Chengqi's dangerous actions, his chest was almost broken by his own heartbeat several times.

A man and a tiger passed by several times on the ground, the tiger's neighing continued, and the forest trembled.

Zhu Rongyi finally heard Ye Chengqi grunt, but couldn't see where and how badly he was injured.

Under the crisis, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and his eyebrows and fingertips instantly glowed red.

She has tried to send a dying horse to sleep with dream consciousness, but she has never tried to send this raging tiger to sleep, but now she has to try.

The white-haired tiger had many serious injuries all over his body, and because he had repeatedly failed to tear the hated man into pieces under his claws, he had already been stimulated into a rage and riot.

The moment the red light flashed, he felt dizzy for a while, and the buzzing in his ears added to his frenzy.

Ye Chengqi dodged left and right, it was hard to catch, but the red light remained fixed on the distant treetop without moving.

It is said that when the tiger's hair turns white, it has become a spirit. This tiger has eaten people again, so it probably really has become a spirit.

It immediately turned its tiger head and rushed towards the treetop where Zhu Rong was.

Although this big tree is strong, I don't know how it can withstand a few bumps from it.And if it jumped up immediately, it might be able to throw Zhu Rong off the tree.

If the tiger's sudden move made Zhu Rong tremble with fear, then Ye Chengqi's hasty move directly shocked her.

But seeing that he didn't know what to do, his body was like an arrow coming from the string, and it came first. When the white-haired tiger was still a few steps away from the tree trunk, it moved horizontally and arrived under the tree first.The white-haired tiger came flying in the air, with its mouth wide open and its teeth full of teeth, it bit down on his body fiercely.

Ye Chengqi's movements were even faster, he shot several arrows like a string of arrows, and rolled on the spot, avoiding the range of the tiger's pounce.

There was a fierce and ferocious tiger hiss that was deafening, Zhu Rong's exclamation was choked in his throat, and his face was full of tears from being frightened by Ye Chengqi just now.

"Continue!" Ye Chengqi shouted suddenly.

Zhu Rong came back to his senses, hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, his fingertips glowed red again, and rushed towards the Tiger Lingtai.

With such a bright red light, she could clearly see that the tiger had an arrow stabbed in both eyes, and the black and red blood flowed continuously.

Dream Consciousness rushes away unscrupulously like water, the blind white-haired tiger is furious and rampages like mad, its huge body is blown by strong winds, it almost overturns and bites Ye Chengqi several times.

And when it launched an offensive for the last time, it finally shook its body twice, and turned sideways to close its eyes unwillingly.

Ye Chengqi took advantage of this opportunity to get upright, thrust his sword under the tiger's jaw, and cut it all the way to the tiger's abdomen.

The stinky tiger blood gushes out along with the internal organs in an instant.

109 Panic

I don't know if it was the dying blow of the white-haired tiger, or Ye Chengqi kicked the tiger's body for help, his body suddenly fell like a kite with a broken string, and hit another tree with his back. The big tree groaned in its throat.

No matter how hard Zhu Rong could bear the panic and panic, she didn't have time to think, so she jumped off the treetop which was nearly two people high.

"...Hi!" Ye Chengqi was startled and worried.

Zhu Rong didn't feel the pain of falling to the ground, Ye Chengqi hugged her in his arms in time.

She calmed down, and in the future she showed the joy of knowing that he was fine, Ye Chengqi suddenly lost his strength, and fell to the ground with her in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Rong exclaimed.

Ye Chengqi bared his lips.

"Where's the medicine cabinet?" he said.

Zhu Rong hurriedly moved the medicine box in front of her and opened it.

"Where is the injury?" she asked.

Ye Chengqi reached out and stroked the wet tears on her face, but as if suddenly remembering something, he hastily moved his hand away and lowered his eyes.

"nothing."

He responded simply, but picked out a roll of white gauze from the box, and quickly wrapped it around his right leg.

Zhu Rong followed his movements, but saw that his right leg was already covered with blood, and the white gauze was soon stained red with blood.There were also many wounds on his left and right arms, but compared to the wounds on his legs, they were much lighter.

"Don't bandage it directly." Zhu Rong held him down and said, "There is medicine, so apply some medicine first."

Ye Chengqi nodded.

"I'll do it myself," he said. "Go and see what happened to that man. There are others alive here."

Zhu Rongying said "OK", then hurriedly picked out some medicines and white gauze for him, carried the medicine box on his back, and rushed to the roadside who fell from a horse and passed out.

After a while, she came back with the medicine box on her back.

Ye Chengqi had taken care of his right leg injury and was leaning against the tree trunk to recover his strength.

"That man is dead." Zhu Rong looked at him and said, "Shortly after I arrived, he died. But before he died, he told me that one of his other three companions had died, and the other two had fled. Falling into a mountain stream on the way, maybe still alive..."

Ye Chengqi nodded, and then he forced himself to stand up.

"Where are you going?" Zhu Rong quickly supported him.

Ye Chengqi's tall body was half leaning on her body, causing her to sway twice, almost failing to stand still.

But Ye Chengqi quickly stabilized himself, and even supported her with his backhand.

"Have you any strength left?" he said. "Let's go find it."

Apart from being frightened, Zhu Rong didn't do anything, of course she has strength.

But she felt that Ye Chengqi was like an iron man.

In that life-and-death struggle just now, he actually just rested for a moment, as if nothing had happened.

The bloody smell gurgling from the tiger's body stirred the air thickly, making it hard to dissipate.

Zhu Rong was held by his hand, and the two of them walked towards the mountain stream ahead step by step until they heard the sound of gurgling water.

Although his footsteps were slow, each step was extremely steady, without any faltering.

Staggering were the two figures that suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Your Highness!" The two knelt and cried, "Why are you here?"

"Hiss..." Ye Chengqi frowned fiercely, he immediately fell to the ground, and he could clearly see the mess of these two people.

"Since it's all right, why didn't you come out earlier?" He said coldly.

"Come out earlier, and be eaten by tigers..." a person said in a trembling voice.

Then they suddenly remembered the sound of the tiger roaring that they had just heard in the distance.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." they said, with incredible expressions on their faces, "It was you just now?"

Ye Chengqi frowned again.

"The tiger is dead." He said simply, "Go back and find someone."

Seeing the two people standing still, he said again in a cold voice: "Go back and find Jingshen and Jing Zhan. If you don't meet them halfway, go back to the villa to find other people and come here to pick me up. "

"Yes Yes!"

The two people came back to their senses, and hurriedly stumbled and ran away, not knowing whether it was because of the trauma on their bodies or because of their excitement.But looking at them like this, it's okay even if they are injured.

Zhu Rong lightly stroked Ye Chengqi's right leg, but felt that the tentacles were warm and moist, the wound had opened again due to walking, and the gauze was soaked in blood.

She rummaged through the medicine box for a long time, fortunately, this medicine box can be said to be her treasure chest, and there are fire pockets in it.

A little light flickered faintly.

Zhu Rong asked Ye Chengqi to hold the torch, and he quickly and quickly applied the medicine to bandage him again.

She was focused and didn't notice anything, but Ye Chengqi's body tensed suddenly and his breathing stopped for a moment when her plain hand brushed the private part of his legs unintentionally.

Zhu Rong thought he was in pain, and his movements became more gentle.

"Be patient, you'll be fine soon," she said.

Ye Chengqi pursed his lower lip, and finally just let out a low "hmm".

After Zhu Rong finished everything carefully, she was already in a cold sweat. At this time, when the mountain wind blew, she couldn't help shivering, feeling cold to the bone.

Ye Chengqi wanted to pull her into his arms, but she had already stood up one step ahead.

"I'm going to gather some dry sticks to light the fire," she said, and left.

When he came back again, he saw that Ye Chengqi had moved to a shelter under a tree by himself.

A bright flame is born, and warmth envelops it.

The two sat quietly with an arm's length apart.

He obviously has a lot to say, about his life and death experience just now, about how there are tigers in this mountain...

But at this time, no one spoke first, and their eyes were all on the constantly moving and rising flames. In the mountains, only the sound of burning dead branches and fallen leaves could be heard.

Until Zhu Rong sneezed.

I was nervous and busy before or didn't realize it, but now I'm quiet. Even though there is a fire burning in front of me, the night air in the mountains still blows with boundless coolness.

Zhu Rong brought her hands to her lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat closer to the fire.

Ye Chengqi's eyes fell on her.

Zhu Rong noticed his gaze, and turned her head to look at him, two sparks of fire danced in her deer-like dark eyes.

The two looked at each other quietly.

Ye Chengqi came back to his senses and looked away.

"You think I'd be so stupid as to take off my clothes and put them on for you?" he said.

It was originally a joke, but Zhu Rong's heart skipped a beat.

Of course he wouldn't be that stupid...

It is another person who is so stupid, so stupid.

He was so stupid that he jumped down the cliff with her without even thinking about it, and he was so stupid that he took off his outer robe and put it on her body on a cold spring night when the dew was deeper, and insisted that he was not cold.

Seeing the sudden cold look in her eyes, Ye Chengqi panicked like never before.

What Zhu Rong thought of, he thought of it all at once.

In fact, whether it is Su Mu or Ye Hongxuan, he has never really put them in his eyes.

There is no other person between him and her, and if there is a problem, it is only a problem between the two of them.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed... a little afraid of Ye Hongxuan.

"Rong'er..."

Ye Chengqi immediately pulled Zhu Rong into his arms and hugged her tightly.

110 admit defeat

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat..." Ye Chengqi said, "Let's not quarrel, okay? I take back what I said before, what is dead or alive, what is not from the beginning, all go to hell."

Zhu Rong turned her head to look at him, her body was stiff for a moment, and then gradually softened.

Ye Chengqi's warm embrace dispelled all the coldness, and slowly dissipated along with the coldness in her eyes.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

"Of course it's true." Ye Chengqi said, with a wry smile, "You can do whatever you want. As soon as you talk to me, I can't help but want to admit defeat, so I don't want to worry about anything. I can't bear it... No, if you don't talk to me, I can't bear it even more..."

Zhu Rong was a little surprised.

It was he who first proposed that he didn't want to talk to her, and he was just like a stranger with her.She thought that he should be unaware.

It turned out that he cared so much...

"You mean we can be friends?" Zhu Rong said.

"friend?"

Ye Chengqi smiled wryly again.

His hands tightened a little, and he pressed her into his arms more forcefully, and his lips pecked her ear pinnacles.

"Rong'er, do you think we can really just be ordinary friends?" He said, "Will you let ordinary friends hug you like this?"

Zhu Rong looked up in a daze, looking up at him.

At such a close distance, her slender and thick eyelashes trembled under his gaze, and Ye Chengqi took advantage of the situation to kiss her lips.

There was another "boom" in Zhu Rong's mind.

He was always like this, caught off guard, and kissed her without saying a word.The powerful lips and tongue pried open her lips, drove straight in, and plundered everything, as if even her breath was to be taken away.

Zhu Rong was dizzy from his kiss.She vaguely remembered that she didn't like to be so procrastinating, repeating things that had already been decided, so she should resolutely push him away.But her palm rested on his shoulder, but she didn't have the strength to resist.Or maybe it's just because you don't want to...

If you're presumptuous, then let's be presumptuous this last time...

She closed her eyes.

Ye Chengqi kissed her for a long time, from groping to light and slow kissing, from lingering to death to gentle touch, finally finally stopped slowly.

Her cheeks were flushed, and his body was also hot.

"Rong'er, do you miss me?" His voice was panting, and he leaned into her ear and said softly, "You obviously like me so much and worry about me, why do you still resist and lie to yourself that you like me? So shallow?"

Zhu Rong's black eyes were moist, and she gently stroked his cheek.

Although his face was still stained with blood, it did not detract from his beauty in the slightest.

"Mo Yan, you are forcing me..." Zhu Rong said.

Ye Chengqi froze for a moment, hugged her with one hand, and held her hand with the other.

"I won't force you." He said, "I said, you can do whatever you want. I will never force you again. Let's settle other things first, and one day, we can do whatever we want, just When you do something, let’s talk about other things, okay?”

"... Silence."

Zhu Rong's heart trembled, and her heartbeat also accelerated.

"Are you serious?" she said.

"Really. Never regret it again."

As Ye Chengqi said, he kissed her heavily on the lips, and then let her go.

But after a while, he still took her back into his arms.

"Wait back
