Spring Breeze Crossing Guanshan
Chapter 41
Yan Chunxi fell from his horse and fell to the ground. At first, he was just stunned by Xia Baimei's skill and sat there. When Xia Baimei neatly handled Bai Suhan and turned around, he subconsciously wanted to shrink back.
With this movement, Yan Chunxi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right ankle. He hurriedly looked down, only to find that he had sprained his ankle when he fell. I can't escape even if I want to.
Xia Baimei came step by step, leaned over and stretched out a hand to Yan Chunxi: "Come."
Sitting on the ground, Yan Chunxi saw the glaring horse blood smeared on Xia Baimei's palm through the ray of skylight through the branches of dead trees, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"You can either walk with me wisely, or I'll knock you out and drag you along. There are two paths, choose by yourself." Xia Baimei said.
Although Yan Chunxi was afraid in his heart, he still clenched his teeth and said, "Are you going to capture me again to coerce the lord? Even if I, I die immediately, I will never be at your mercy!"
"Then you might as well try to kill yourself in my hands—and see if you are quicker in seeking death, or I am quicker in acupuncture."
Xia Baimei's expression was indifferent, and he raised his white eyebrows slightly. When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something interesting, with a hint of evil in his expression: "I know you are not afraid of death, and you can stand fire at the stake. But don't you think that my methods are just like this, although some tastes are not painful, I guess you wouldn't want to taste them."
"What?" Yan Chunxi didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but he still felt a little flustered.
"Prince Ning loves you the most, do you think he can stand his baby being molested by an eunuch?"
"You..." Yan Chunxi's face turned pale, his lips trembled, but for a moment he didn't dare to annoy Xia Baimei again.
He remembered that Guan Junchen once mentioned in chatting with him that although Xia Baimei was an eunuch, she was quite masculine, and she often hung around in the Lane of Fireworks and Willows in Chang'an, and she even attracted the admiration of many young men.
He was quite curious when he thought of this matter before, but in the end he didn't have the nerve to ask carefully.At this moment Xia Baimei mentioned it suddenly, and when he thought of it in his heart, he suddenly felt weird and scary.
His own life and death were minor matters, but thinking of being humiliated by Xia Baimei if he couldn't ask for death... I really can't imagine how Guan Junchen would feel in his heart.
While speaking, Xia Baimei turned around and tore off a piece of silk from Bai Suhan's body, then wrote a few words in horse blood and stuffed them in Bai Suhan's skirt. The horse paced in front of Yan Chunxi, didn't even say much, just bent down and stretched out his hand to Yan Chunxi.
Yan Chunxi's fingers trembled slightly, and finally they rested on Xia Baimei's palm.
As soon as Xia Baimei's hand exerted force, he suddenly felt his body suddenly soared into the air, and then landed firmly on the horse's back.
It's just that Xia Baimei actually put him in front of him, he didn't have much room to move, and he could only lean on Xia Baimei's chest.
Yan Chunxi's expression was a little tense, thinking that Bai Suhan was still in a coma, he couldn't help asking: "Then Bai, where is Guan Bai?"
"I can't die." Xia Baimei said as he shook the reins, and the steed galloped immediately.
Xia Baimei's riding skills are far better than Yan Chunxi's. This time he rode the horse, Yan Chunxi only felt that the trees on both sides were backward as if by magic, and his ankle was injured. , his ankle was bouncing, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
The cold wind poured in front of him and blew on his sweaty forehead, which seemed more piercing than when he was riding alone.
It's just that he is quite stubborn, even though Xia Baimei captured him, he never dared to beg for mercy and show weakness.
The two of them rode all the way to the north, only to see a rather steep isolated mountain in front of them, and cliffs beside them. Determined not to pass.
Xia Baimei dismounted from the horse, and lifted Yan Chunxi off by the collar, then turned around suddenly, and knocked the several hundred kilograms of horse off the cliff with a light palm.
Hearing the horse neigh and fall down the cliff, Yan Chunxi was startled and sad.
He is not good at riding, and Guan Junchen taught him slowly later, so he loves the house and the crow, and thinking of Guan Junchen's love for him in the past, he feels even more sad about the situation of the horse.
He couldn't help a trace of anger in his eyes, and said to Xia Baimei: "This horse is bothering you again, it's so vicious."
"Prince Ning raised you so delicately and stupidly."
Xia Baimei turned her head back and said coldly: "Fortunately, it's a heavy snow day, so the horse's hoof prints won't be noticed after a while, but this horse is smart, if it returns from here, won't it show its whereabouts?"
How could Yan Chunxi's scheming and strategy compare to that of the commander of Wuyi Lane, when he heard it at this time, his expression brightened, but he couldn't refute it.
Xia Baimei said that he was fine, but said that Guan Junchen raised him so much, and he immediately felt his face was burning hot.
Xia Baimei didn't talk nonsense with him, she grabbed his wrist and wanted to walk towards the forest, Yan Chunxi bit her lips tightly in pain, and limped to follow, but couldn't keep up.
Xia Baimei turned around, and saw that the young man was so painful that some blue veins popped out of his forehead. He only dared to touch the ground with his right foot in the wind and snow, and he seemed almost unsteady when standing. He couldn't help frowning, and lowered his head to touch Yan Chunxi Pulling the leg of his trousers, he saw that Bai Shengsheng's slender ankle was now swollen and bruised, as if it was about to burst his skin.
"You are so stiff that you are so swollen that you don't say a word."
Xia Baimei shook his head, turned around and hugged Yan Chunxi up, and used lightness kung fu to swipe forward.
Yan Chunxi was stunned for a moment, he was carried forward by Xia Baimei, and he felt more stable and comfortable than before when he was on horseback, and his injured right foot was no longer bumped.
At this moment, she was very close to Xia Baimei, and she could vaguely smell a bloody smell coming from Xia Baimei's body, Yan Chunxi couldn't help thinking, whether it was Bai Suhan's blood or the horse's blood from before.
He is very afraid of Xia Baimei, this person has deep scheming and cruel methods, and because he is an eunuch, he seems to have an extra layer of viciousness and secrets. Guan Junchen is really an enemy of this kind of person, it really makes him happy Worry.
Yan Chunxi became even more worried when he thought of this, he left late at night, not knowing how Guan Junchen was doing at this time, whether Guan Junchen was sleeping well, or eating well in the morning.
Thinking about it, Guan Junchen must be reluctant to part with him, he didn't want Guan Junchen to hurt his body because he cared about him, but vaguely...
I also vaguely hope that Brother Cheng will be like him at this time, thinking about him and thinking about him.
When he thought of Guan Junchen, his mind was full of thoughts, needless to say worry, there was a lot of bitterness.But in this, there is a vague sweet feeling of thinking about the past, tossing and turning, and his expression is sometimes bitter and sometimes happy.
Xia Baimei stepped on the snow and made a slight creaking sound. I don't know how long he had been walking in the forest like this. It wasn't until Yan Chunxi felt his body warm up that he turned his head to look, only then did he realize that he had been hugged to a certain place. In the cave.
Xia Baimei put his body on a protruding long and wide stone, Yan Chunxi only felt that his lower body was rather soft, so he stretched out his hand to touch it quietly, and found that a thick straw mat had already been laid.
At this time, it happened that Xia Baimei used a torch to relight the bonfire in the center of the cave, and the fire suddenly lit up in the cave, making people feel quite warm immediately.
Hearing a clang, Xia Baimei drew the long sword out of its sheath with his right hand, and then put the tip of the sword in the blazing fire, and it burned red after a while.
Yan Chunxi had been burned at the stake before, seeing Xia Baimei's actions now, he thought that Xia Baimei was going to abuse him like before, and immediately shrank back in shock.
However, Xia Baimei ignored Yan Chunxi, bowed her head and unbuttoned her gown.
It wasn't until his upper body was completely exposed that Yan Chunxi saw under the firelight that Xia Baimei's thin waist was wrapped with a thick white gauze, and at this time the bright red blood was about to seep out of it, soaking the gauze .
Xia Baimei untied the gauze circle by circle, only to see that some beast had inserted its claws into the side of his waist, leaving five deep holes, and then tore the flesh with all his strength, so the gap between the five holes All were torn apart, bloody and glued together,
It is obvious that Xia Baimei was seriously injured before, and she might have taken care of her for a few days before, but the fierce battle with Bai Suhan just now split the wound a lot, and the blood was dripping non-stop, this time it is so terrifying .
It's just that he couldn't bear it, after all this running around, no one could see that there was any injury at all.
At first glance, Yan Chunxi couldn't help but screamed "Ah" in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "You, what kind of beast did you encounter?"
"Beasts..." Xia Baimei turned her head and snorted, "Hmph, beasts are not so powerful."
As he spoke, he held the tip of the sword that had been scalded just now, and his hand paused for a moment in mid-air, and then he firmly pressed the hot red tip of the sword against the wound in his abdomen.
There was only a light "chi" sound, and there was a faint smell of roasted flesh in the cave.
"what--!"
Xia Baimei let out a low, muffled roar, until the outermost flesh of the wound on his waist was scorched and stopped bleeding, then he threw the long sword aside weakly, and sat down slowly leaning against the mountain wall limply. down.
Yan Chunxi couldn't help opening his eyes wide, taking a deep breath, his heart was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
He looked at Xia Baimei's dignified and beautiful face at this moment, dripping with cold sweat, because of the severe pain, his expression was ferocious, with a smile that was not a smile, which made people feel more mysterious and eerie in this deep cave.
The eunuch in front of him is so beautiful, but it reminds people of beasts. He is as forbearing as a wolf and as ruthless as a falcon. As long as it is for survival, he can be so cruel even to himself.
Maybe there are such people who can get a place at the bedside of Emperor Zhou Ying.
……
I don't know how long it took, seeing that Xia Baimei hadn't moved, Yan Chunxi limped off the rock and wanted to go over to have a look, but just as he approached cautiously, Xia Baimei suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the firelight, his eyes were sharp, and he said every word: "Although I am injured, it is easy to catch you. I advise you not to think about it."
Yan Chunxi did not shrink back this time, but pursed his lips, and asked, "What is your intention of detaining me? This time...why don't you take me back to Fengge this time, instead of hiding me?" In this cave in the wilderness? Lord Xia, you are still unwilling to return to Beijing to recuperate after suffering such a serious injury—who on earth injured you?"
In fact, although Xia Baimei said that he was delicate and stupid, Yan Chunxi was not stupid after all. At this moment, these questions were even more sensitive to the point.
Xia Baimei looked at Yan Chunxi, and after a long time, a slight smile finally appeared on his face drenched in cold sweat, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You are quite interesting."
He pressed the wound and stood up with difficulty by supporting the wall, but he didn't answer Yan Chunxi's words, but said while putting on his clothes: "Young Master Yan, I don't intend to hurt you, I just want to negotiate a deal with Prince Ning, with you It is more convenient, so I will trouble you to suffer a little here these days."
Xia Baimei paused at this point, picked up the long sword at the side, and said calmly: "I'm going out to find some food, you remember my words, don't think about running away, you and I will live in peace."
"My right foot is like this, so I can't escape."
Yan Chunxi limped one foot and followed Xia Baimei out of the cave, and said as he walked: "Lord Xia, since you have something to discuss with the prince, you don't need to hide the reason from me, anyway, the prince will always tell me. "
Xia Baimei stood still and raised his eyebrows, with a sarcastic look on his face, he asked, "You mean, the dignified Prince Ning would ask you what you mean before doing something?"
Yan Chunxi knew that Xia Baimei probably looked down on him. After all, he was just a male favourite. Although Guan Junchen really loved and respected him, in the eyes of others, the royal family and nobles might not treat him like this.
But he was not annoyed by it, he just said seriously: "Yes, the lord is of one mind with me, so he will discuss it with me."
Xia Baimei was silent for a moment, he lowered his head and took a deep look at Yan Chunxi, but said nothing.With a touch of the toes, the figure was already flitting out like a light smoke.
……
But after a while, Xia Baimei came back in a hurry. He was carrying a deer with a broken neck in one hand, and a bundle of firewood in the other. Yan Chunxi was still sitting at the entrance of the cave where the two of them were talking earlier.
The young man sat on the ground with his knees hugged. He was small and looked pitiful from a distance. Seeing him back, he stood up slowly while supporting the mountain wall, but his eyes couldn't help but cast a glance at the roe in his hand.He ignored Yan Chunxi and walked straight into the cave, and Yan Chunxi followed behind him with a limp.
Xia Baimei couldn't help thinking, this young man must be hungry, this appearance looks like a puppy who just got injured and stayed at home waiting for him to find food.
It was quite warm in the cave, Xia Baimei skillfully used a long sword to deal with the deer, peeled the skin and let the blood out, while Yan Chunxi used a wooden stick to pull the bonfire from a distance, although the two of them did not speak, they performed their duties.
In autumn and winter, the roe deer in this dry forest is quite fat, especially the meat of the hind legs is the most delicious and tender.Xia Baimei sharpened the firewood, skewered the deer legs on the fire, and grilled them. After a while, the smell of meat overflowed, and the golden fat dripped into the fire, making the flames burn even higher.
Xia Baimei took out a small bag from her bosom after the skin of the roe deer's leg was burnt golden and crisp, picked up a pinch of salt from it and sprinkled it on it, then picked off the cooked roasted roe deer's leg and handed it to Yan Chunxi.
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to catch the deer leg. He was obviously very hungry, so he took a bite of the deer meat without thinking about anything else.
When Yan Chunxi lowered his head, he revealed a long and slender neck in vain. Although he was so hot that he could only stick out his tongue, he still eagerly swallowed it. Only then did he show a greedy and greedy look.
Xia Baimei sat and looked at it for a while, her eyes softened a little, and she asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
Emperor Zhou Ying always said that he was a man who would love others.
He saw a lot of bloody and cruel punishments in the Phoenix Pavilion in Bird Clothes Lane, and every time he walked into the human world, he felt a gloomy air in his heart and didn't know where to put it.
Therefore, whether it is good for love, or for those young ladies who come and go as soon as they are called, he is always different from other prostitutes and eunuchs, and he takes care of the bed in every possible way.
When he saw those beautiful young men, he felt that he should take care of them more, if not, it would be as if he had let down the good intention of the heavens to create such jade-like flesh and blood.
He will love people, but whether it is out of lust or something else, sometimes I really can't figure it out.
It's just that sometimes he would think in his heart, if he wasn't a crippled eunuch, perhaps, he might not have put all his love and affection in this life on that Great Zhou Emperor.
Yan Chunxi blushed when he was asked, and then nodded slightly. His lips were stained with grease, and under the firelight, he looked even more plump and lustrous, quite touching.
"Why do you even carry salt with you?" the young man couldn't help asking curiously while eating the deer leg.
"I've been traveling all year round, so I have to prepare some." Xia Baimei replied, and he took off the deer meat from other places to roast, and said indifferently: "The ancients said: eat deer in autumn and winter, and eat sheep in spring and summer. This time My son's roe deer is actually a good game, you eat more, and your body will be warmer."
Xia Baimei saw that Yan Chunxi liked roe deer legs, so she ate some other parts of roe deer meat first, and then handed the other roasted roe deer leg to Yan Chunxi.
But the young man became a little shy at the moment, shook his head and refused: "Many, thank you, Master Xia, I'm almost full, you should eat..."
He is not stupid, he knows that deer legs are the most delicious, Xia Baimei is taking care of him.
"It's okay."
Xia Baimei's voice was hoarse and authentic, but she unexpectedly said a joke that was neither cold nor cold: "Whatever you eat, you can make up for it. You are limping now, so you don't have to be polite."
Yan Chunxi raised his head, looked at Xia Baimei in a daze, and didn't know how to refuse for a while.
The relationship between the two of them should have been tense. Xia Baimei acted mysteriously and secretly, and she was a vicious eunuch under Emperor Zhou Ying. He captured him and wanted to threaten Guan Junchen, and even burned several inches of wounds on his waist with his own hands. , that kind of pain, he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it;
But in this dry forest cave, when they were sitting together eating a deer, many things became quite blurred, and he actually felt that he was very close to Xia Baimei.
……
If there is no firewood to burn in the cave, it will be bitingly cold.
After nightfall, Xia Baimei told Yan Chunxi to go to bed first, while she kept watch over the fire in the middle of the night.
Yan Chunxi thought that Xia Baimei was also injured, so he slept for a while and went to replace Xia Baimei, but he is not strong enough to practice martial arts, and coupled with the exhausted running around all the way, he fell asleep after sleeping After passing by, the sky was already dark when I opened my eyes.
After Yan Chunxi got up, he found that Xia Baimei had found half an earthen pot by the fire, and there was a large handful of clean fresh snow in it, which was slowly burning on top of the campfire. It can boil snow into water to drink.
As soon as he saw the water, Yan Chunxi felt that his throat was already very dry, and he was very happy at the thought of having hot water to drink later. .
He stood there looking at it for a while, and for some reason, a rather strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind, he only felt that Xia Baimei was very similar to those wealthy customers in the true and false stories he heard from his parents when he was young——
Riding horses in the rivers and lakes, staying overnight in the wilderness, still have a good time.
Perhaps Xia Baimei shouldn't have stayed in the palace to be a powerful eunuch, so perhaps it would be easier to comfort her.
Thinking of this, Yan Chunxi couldn't help but shook his head, he just felt that he was absurd, Xia Baimei's wisdom and martial arts were far superior to him, how could it be his turn to think about these things for others.
Holding on to the wall, he slowly walked out of the cave, and then followed Xia Baimei's footprints in the snow, and went all the way through the dry forest, only to find Xia Baimei at the edge of the cliff.
Xia Baimei was sitting cross-legged on a huge strange rock, holding a holly leaf in her hand, slowly rolled up the sides of the leaf and placed it on her lips to blow it.
The sound was quite vigorous, but the timbre was a little rough. On the edge of the dark and steep cliff, the sound of the blades and the sound of the cold wind whizzed and intertwined, which made the ending sound dry, as if the person blowing the blades was quite depressed.
Yan Chunxi looked at Xia Baimei's lonely back from afar, and for some reason, although he didn't know what was going on in Xia Baimei's mind, he seemed to be able to understand something.
He walked over carefully from behind, held onto the edge of the strange rock, sat down slowly, and listened quietly.
I don't know how long it took Xia Baimei to stop. Of course, he knew that Yan Chunxi had come, but he ignored it and just stared down at the holly leaf in his hand.
The emerald green holly leaves trembled, as if they could not withstand the force of the cold wind. Xia Baimei gently stroked the veins of the leaves with his fingers pitifully. Little Holly was remembering something.
Yan Chunxi vaguely heard him sigh and open his palms, allowing the cold wind to blow away the thin holly leaves in his palms, spiraling down to the deep valley beside the cliff.
Looking at this scene, Yan Chunxi couldn't help muttering: "Why, why didn't you blow it up..."
"If you can't get into tune, don't force it."
Xia Baimei turned her head to look at Yan Chunxi with a very calm expression: "Do you know... who taught me this?"
Yan Chunxi shook his head, naturally he didn't know.
Xia Baimei smiled slightly, his teeth were very white, and his smile was quite touching: "It's the emperor."
Yan Chunxi's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know what to say.
But fortunately Xia Baimei didn't want him to respond at first, but continued on his own: "At that time he was not the emperor, he was just a prince who was not very favored in the East Palace, so he didn't take care of everything as he is now. Therefore, there are many times when you can stay with me."
Yan Chunxi looked at Xia Baimei in a daze. He had indeed heard Guan Junchen talk about Xia Baimei's entanglement with Zhou Yingdi. Although he was curious before, he didn't dare to ask Xia Baimei.
After all, it was the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, Xia Baimei would speak bluntly to him about the privacy of the emperor, and even called the matter between the emperor and him "together". This is really shocking, how could Yan Chunxi Don't panic.
"Young Master Yan, you have never met the Emperor, have you?"
Xia Baimei asked.
"Yes, it is……"
Yan Chunxi stammered.
"When you see the emperor now, you may not think he is so good, but more than ten years ago..."
There was a faint light in Xia Baimei's eyes, and he said softly: "The emperor was handsome and heroic when he was young, and his mind was even more astute. There are many things that others have to learn for a long time before he can master them, but he always understands them. He is not only proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics , Ritual, music, archery, imperial control, calligraphy, and mathematics are all proficient. Mr. Yan, I know that you must think that Prince Ning is the most extraordinary person in your heart, but I want to say that Da Zhou is an outstanding person in the world—— The emperor must belong."
"More than that, the emperor's talent is not limited to rituals and six arts. He is not a well-behaved prince who only knows about reading and political affairs."
"When he was in a good mood, he often took me out of the palace in disguise. We pretended to be rich sons to go to Nanguan and Liyuan to listen to operas. He taught me how to taste wine and how to play chess. It's just that my intelligence is far inferior to his. Over the years , I have never won a game of chess with him. The emperor is both elegant and familiar with the style of the market. He is familiar with many bizarre stories that have been passed down by word of mouth. He has never If you think folk affairs are indecent, you can see the vivid aspirations of the common people of Dazhou from them."
"He is also a very interesting person. Even if he picks up a leaf at random, he can play elegant music. Mr. Yan, do you know that in winter, only holly and pine and cypress are evergreen, and only holly can play. It's just that the leaves are quite hard, so the tone is gloomy, just like the solar terms of cold winter. But in spring...everything comes back to life, and even the leaves are soft and soft, and now they are played again, and the tune is cheerful and light, which is much more beautiful All these little things are taught by the emperor."
As Xia Baimei talked, her expression gradually became a little crazy.
In his life, he has never told anyone about these pasts.
The person he fell in love with eventually became the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so as time passed, he became more and more silent——
The love of his life should never be able to be mentioned to a third person.
It's just that once this person holds back for a long time, when he wants to speak out, the words in his heart seem to burst a dike.
He murmured, everything seemed to happen yesterday, and those tender feelings and companionship really appeared in front of his eyes, and he only hoped that he could keep talking like this, saying how good Emperor Zhou Ying was. , Said that Emperor Zhou Ying was great, with a smile and a graceful demeanor.
Yes, how could Emperor Zhou Ying be bad?
The world is weak, so when love dies, they always say that they have not met a lover.
But in fact, if Zhou Yingdi had never been kind to him, he would not have devoted his whole life to love.
The cruelest person in this world has never been a heartbroken person, but a lover who will one day quietly change his appearance so that he can no longer recognize him.
"Lord Xia... Your Majesty, Your Majesty really liked you."
Yan Chunxi's eyes were sore when he heard this. In his heart, Emperor Zhou Ying was a ruthless emperor who threatened Guan Junchen step by step, and even more wantonly killed Zhongliang.
But he didn't want to say anything else, he could feel the endless pain in Xia Baimei's heart, so he really couldn't bear to say more.
"Yes." Xia Baimei nodded, a bleak smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Mr. Yan, yesterday you asked me who hurt me, and I didn't answer you. Now you can guess the answer." Yet?"
Yan Chunxi's heart trembled, he vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to say it.
The speculation made his hair stand cold.
"The emperor once gave me a blood dragon colt. This horse runs extremely fast and is comparable to the ancient blood and blood horses. It is rare to see a god horse, and its habits are also seldom known. But by chance, I accidentally learned about this blood dragon horse. The dragon mare has a strange fragrance when she sweats, and as long as other stallions follow the scent, she can chase after her. Over the years, I have doubts, maybe the emperor gave me this horse to know my whereabouts at all times, but I never asked the emperor. That day I was disheartened, and I resigned from the position of commander of Wuyi Lane. This move was quite dangerous, but when I left the city, I still purposely rode the blood dragon horse bestowed by the emperor, Mr. Yan, you can guess what I said Is there a reason for doing so?"
"You, you want to test..."
Yan Chunxi sweated slightly on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "You want to test the emperor's mind."
"Yes."
Xia Baimei smiled again, and he said calmly: "After I left the city, I found my subordinates to pretend that I was riding on the blood dragon horse, and I changed into ordinary horses to follow behind quietly, but within a day, I just A man with extremely high martial arts came out of the imperial city and rode a colt behind the blood dragon horse, so this man came to kill me naturally."
"Mr. Yan, being with the king is like being with a tiger. Being in love with the emperor is probably more dangerous. I have been with the emperor for more than ten years. In order to protect the emperor, I lost my voice and practiced martial arts that shorten my life. I eradicate dissidents and kill people for the emperor. Killing me, but now, I am just disheartened and want to escape to the rivers and lakes, but the emperor wants my life. If you are me, what should you do?"
"me……"
Yan Chunxi couldn't answer, he only felt extremely terrified in his heart.
Emperor Zhou Ying was deeply scheming, but Xia Baimei didn't give in. These two people are like fierce beasts all the way. Although they are in love, they also guard each other unscrupulously. Such feelings really scare him.
"That's right, Mr. Yan is not me."
Xia Baimei nodded slightly, and continued: "I followed the man in the palace. I was in the dark, and he was in the light. He was naturally unprepared, and I poisoned him with a colorless and odorless poison. I spared his life. I wanted to I inquired carefully, but I didn't expect this person's martial arts to be perfected, he secretly forced out a little bit of poison, and could brazenly fight me to the death. The wounds on my waist and abdomen were caught by this person's eagle claw skills Yes, it was extremely dangerous at that time, if my reaction was a little slower, even my intestines would be ripped out. I knew in my heart that if I lost this battle, I would definitely die. In the past, it was better than three points, and desperately blocked the man's pulse door, which shocked his heart."
"The man was seriously injured, but he didn't die for a while. I cut off his toes one by one, and then put honey on his wound, and let him be bitten by ants. I tortured him until he had only two toes left. At that time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and according to my intention, he wrote a secret letter to the emperor, telling him: Xia Baimei is dead, he was seriously injured, and he chased very far, and he will not return to Beijing until more than ten days later. Mr. Yan, if I do this, you must think that I am cruel and terrifying, but I have to do this - because only in this way can I buy myself some time."
In this dry forest, Xia Baimei's expression was flat, and she just talked like this, but when Yan Chunxi thought of the bloody wound he saw yesterday, and Xia Baimei's desperate struggle, and the tragic torture that followed, he couldn't help but think of it. I felt my heart beating extremely fast. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I could still feel the bloody aura rushing towards my face.
"Time...Master Xia, you, what are you going to do?"
Yan Chunxi suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Regicide."
Xia Baimei stared at Yan Chunxi and said calmly.
With this movement, Yan Chunxi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right ankle. He hurriedly looked down, only to find that he had sprained his ankle when he fell. I can't escape even if I want to.
Xia Baimei came step by step, leaned over and stretched out a hand to Yan Chunxi: "Come."
Sitting on the ground, Yan Chunxi saw the glaring horse blood smeared on Xia Baimei's palm through the ray of skylight through the branches of dead trees, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"You can either walk with me wisely, or I'll knock you out and drag you along. There are two paths, choose by yourself." Xia Baimei said.
Although Yan Chunxi was afraid in his heart, he still clenched his teeth and said, "Are you going to capture me again to coerce the lord? Even if I, I die immediately, I will never be at your mercy!"
"Then you might as well try to kill yourself in my hands—and see if you are quicker in seeking death, or I am quicker in acupuncture."
Xia Baimei's expression was indifferent, and he raised his white eyebrows slightly. When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something interesting, with a hint of evil in his expression: "I know you are not afraid of death, and you can stand fire at the stake. But don't you think that my methods are just like this, although some tastes are not painful, I guess you wouldn't want to taste them."
"What?" Yan Chunxi didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but he still felt a little flustered.
"Prince Ning loves you the most, do you think he can stand his baby being molested by an eunuch?"
"You..." Yan Chunxi's face turned pale, his lips trembled, but for a moment he didn't dare to annoy Xia Baimei again.
He remembered that Guan Junchen once mentioned in chatting with him that although Xia Baimei was an eunuch, she was quite masculine, and she often hung around in the Lane of Fireworks and Willows in Chang'an, and she even attracted the admiration of many young men.
He was quite curious when he thought of this matter before, but in the end he didn't have the nerve to ask carefully.At this moment Xia Baimei mentioned it suddenly, and when he thought of it in his heart, he suddenly felt weird and scary.
His own life and death were minor matters, but thinking of being humiliated by Xia Baimei if he couldn't ask for death... I really can't imagine how Guan Junchen would feel in his heart.
While speaking, Xia Baimei turned around and tore off a piece of silk from Bai Suhan's body, then wrote a few words in horse blood and stuffed them in Bai Suhan's skirt. The horse paced in front of Yan Chunxi, didn't even say much, just bent down and stretched out his hand to Yan Chunxi.
Yan Chunxi's fingers trembled slightly, and finally they rested on Xia Baimei's palm.
As soon as Xia Baimei's hand exerted force, he suddenly felt his body suddenly soared into the air, and then landed firmly on the horse's back.
It's just that Xia Baimei actually put him in front of him, he didn't have much room to move, and he could only lean on Xia Baimei's chest.
Yan Chunxi's expression was a little tense, thinking that Bai Suhan was still in a coma, he couldn't help asking: "Then Bai, where is Guan Bai?"
"I can't die." Xia Baimei said as he shook the reins, and the steed galloped immediately.
Xia Baimei's riding skills are far better than Yan Chunxi's. This time he rode the horse, Yan Chunxi only felt that the trees on both sides were backward as if by magic, and his ankle was injured. , his ankle was bouncing, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
The cold wind poured in front of him and blew on his sweaty forehead, which seemed more piercing than when he was riding alone.
It's just that he is quite stubborn, even though Xia Baimei captured him, he never dared to beg for mercy and show weakness.
The two of them rode all the way to the north, only to see a rather steep isolated mountain in front of them, and cliffs beside them. Determined not to pass.
Xia Baimei dismounted from the horse, and lifted Yan Chunxi off by the collar, then turned around suddenly, and knocked the several hundred kilograms of horse off the cliff with a light palm.
Hearing the horse neigh and fall down the cliff, Yan Chunxi was startled and sad.
He is not good at riding, and Guan Junchen taught him slowly later, so he loves the house and the crow, and thinking of Guan Junchen's love for him in the past, he feels even more sad about the situation of the horse.
He couldn't help a trace of anger in his eyes, and said to Xia Baimei: "This horse is bothering you again, it's so vicious."
"Prince Ning raised you so delicately and stupidly."
Xia Baimei turned her head back and said coldly: "Fortunately, it's a heavy snow day, so the horse's hoof prints won't be noticed after a while, but this horse is smart, if it returns from here, won't it show its whereabouts?"
How could Yan Chunxi's scheming and strategy compare to that of the commander of Wuyi Lane, when he heard it at this time, his expression brightened, but he couldn't refute it.
Xia Baimei said that he was fine, but said that Guan Junchen raised him so much, and he immediately felt his face was burning hot.
Xia Baimei didn't talk nonsense with him, she grabbed his wrist and wanted to walk towards the forest, Yan Chunxi bit her lips tightly in pain, and limped to follow, but couldn't keep up.
Xia Baimei turned around, and saw that the young man was so painful that some blue veins popped out of his forehead. He only dared to touch the ground with his right foot in the wind and snow, and he seemed almost unsteady when standing. He couldn't help frowning, and lowered his head to touch Yan Chunxi Pulling the leg of his trousers, he saw that Bai Shengsheng's slender ankle was now swollen and bruised, as if it was about to burst his skin.
"You are so stiff that you are so swollen that you don't say a word."
Xia Baimei shook his head, turned around and hugged Yan Chunxi up, and used lightness kung fu to swipe forward.
Yan Chunxi was stunned for a moment, he was carried forward by Xia Baimei, and he felt more stable and comfortable than before when he was on horseback, and his injured right foot was no longer bumped.
At this moment, she was very close to Xia Baimei, and she could vaguely smell a bloody smell coming from Xia Baimei's body, Yan Chunxi couldn't help thinking, whether it was Bai Suhan's blood or the horse's blood from before.
He is very afraid of Xia Baimei, this person has deep scheming and cruel methods, and because he is an eunuch, he seems to have an extra layer of viciousness and secrets. Guan Junchen is really an enemy of this kind of person, it really makes him happy Worry.
Yan Chunxi became even more worried when he thought of this, he left late at night, not knowing how Guan Junchen was doing at this time, whether Guan Junchen was sleeping well, or eating well in the morning.
Thinking about it, Guan Junchen must be reluctant to part with him, he didn't want Guan Junchen to hurt his body because he cared about him, but vaguely...
I also vaguely hope that Brother Cheng will be like him at this time, thinking about him and thinking about him.
When he thought of Guan Junchen, his mind was full of thoughts, needless to say worry, there was a lot of bitterness.But in this, there is a vague sweet feeling of thinking about the past, tossing and turning, and his expression is sometimes bitter and sometimes happy.
Xia Baimei stepped on the snow and made a slight creaking sound. I don't know how long he had been walking in the forest like this. It wasn't until Yan Chunxi felt his body warm up that he turned his head to look, only then did he realize that he had been hugged to a certain place. In the cave.
Xia Baimei put his body on a protruding long and wide stone, Yan Chunxi only felt that his lower body was rather soft, so he stretched out his hand to touch it quietly, and found that a thick straw mat had already been laid.
At this time, it happened that Xia Baimei used a torch to relight the bonfire in the center of the cave, and the fire suddenly lit up in the cave, making people feel quite warm immediately.
Hearing a clang, Xia Baimei drew the long sword out of its sheath with his right hand, and then put the tip of the sword in the blazing fire, and it burned red after a while.
Yan Chunxi had been burned at the stake before, seeing Xia Baimei's actions now, he thought that Xia Baimei was going to abuse him like before, and immediately shrank back in shock.
However, Xia Baimei ignored Yan Chunxi, bowed her head and unbuttoned her gown.
It wasn't until his upper body was completely exposed that Yan Chunxi saw under the firelight that Xia Baimei's thin waist was wrapped with a thick white gauze, and at this time the bright red blood was about to seep out of it, soaking the gauze .
Xia Baimei untied the gauze circle by circle, only to see that some beast had inserted its claws into the side of his waist, leaving five deep holes, and then tore the flesh with all his strength, so the gap between the five holes All were torn apart, bloody and glued together,
It is obvious that Xia Baimei was seriously injured before, and she might have taken care of her for a few days before, but the fierce battle with Bai Suhan just now split the wound a lot, and the blood was dripping non-stop, this time it is so terrifying .
It's just that he couldn't bear it, after all this running around, no one could see that there was any injury at all.
At first glance, Yan Chunxi couldn't help but screamed "Ah" in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "You, what kind of beast did you encounter?"
"Beasts..." Xia Baimei turned her head and snorted, "Hmph, beasts are not so powerful."
As he spoke, he held the tip of the sword that had been scalded just now, and his hand paused for a moment in mid-air, and then he firmly pressed the hot red tip of the sword against the wound in his abdomen.
There was only a light "chi" sound, and there was a faint smell of roasted flesh in the cave.
"what--!"
Xia Baimei let out a low, muffled roar, until the outermost flesh of the wound on his waist was scorched and stopped bleeding, then he threw the long sword aside weakly, and sat down slowly leaning against the mountain wall limply. down.
Yan Chunxi couldn't help opening his eyes wide, taking a deep breath, his heart was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
He looked at Xia Baimei's dignified and beautiful face at this moment, dripping with cold sweat, because of the severe pain, his expression was ferocious, with a smile that was not a smile, which made people feel more mysterious and eerie in this deep cave.
The eunuch in front of him is so beautiful, but it reminds people of beasts. He is as forbearing as a wolf and as ruthless as a falcon. As long as it is for survival, he can be so cruel even to himself.
Maybe there are such people who can get a place at the bedside of Emperor Zhou Ying.
……
I don't know how long it took, seeing that Xia Baimei hadn't moved, Yan Chunxi limped off the rock and wanted to go over to have a look, but just as he approached cautiously, Xia Baimei suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the firelight, his eyes were sharp, and he said every word: "Although I am injured, it is easy to catch you. I advise you not to think about it."
Yan Chunxi did not shrink back this time, but pursed his lips, and asked, "What is your intention of detaining me? This time...why don't you take me back to Fengge this time, instead of hiding me?" In this cave in the wilderness? Lord Xia, you are still unwilling to return to Beijing to recuperate after suffering such a serious injury—who on earth injured you?"
In fact, although Xia Baimei said that he was delicate and stupid, Yan Chunxi was not stupid after all. At this moment, these questions were even more sensitive to the point.
Xia Baimei looked at Yan Chunxi, and after a long time, a slight smile finally appeared on his face drenched in cold sweat, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You are quite interesting."
He pressed the wound and stood up with difficulty by supporting the wall, but he didn't answer Yan Chunxi's words, but said while putting on his clothes: "Young Master Yan, I don't intend to hurt you, I just want to negotiate a deal with Prince Ning, with you It is more convenient, so I will trouble you to suffer a little here these days."
Xia Baimei paused at this point, picked up the long sword at the side, and said calmly: "I'm going out to find some food, you remember my words, don't think about running away, you and I will live in peace."
"My right foot is like this, so I can't escape."
Yan Chunxi limped one foot and followed Xia Baimei out of the cave, and said as he walked: "Lord Xia, since you have something to discuss with the prince, you don't need to hide the reason from me, anyway, the prince will always tell me. "
Xia Baimei stood still and raised his eyebrows, with a sarcastic look on his face, he asked, "You mean, the dignified Prince Ning would ask you what you mean before doing something?"
Yan Chunxi knew that Xia Baimei probably looked down on him. After all, he was just a male favourite. Although Guan Junchen really loved and respected him, in the eyes of others, the royal family and nobles might not treat him like this.
But he was not annoyed by it, he just said seriously: "Yes, the lord is of one mind with me, so he will discuss it with me."
Xia Baimei was silent for a moment, he lowered his head and took a deep look at Yan Chunxi, but said nothing.With a touch of the toes, the figure was already flitting out like a light smoke.
……
But after a while, Xia Baimei came back in a hurry. He was carrying a deer with a broken neck in one hand, and a bundle of firewood in the other. Yan Chunxi was still sitting at the entrance of the cave where the two of them were talking earlier.
The young man sat on the ground with his knees hugged. He was small and looked pitiful from a distance. Seeing him back, he stood up slowly while supporting the mountain wall, but his eyes couldn't help but cast a glance at the roe in his hand.He ignored Yan Chunxi and walked straight into the cave, and Yan Chunxi followed behind him with a limp.
Xia Baimei couldn't help thinking, this young man must be hungry, this appearance looks like a puppy who just got injured and stayed at home waiting for him to find food.
It was quite warm in the cave, Xia Baimei skillfully used a long sword to deal with the deer, peeled the skin and let the blood out, while Yan Chunxi used a wooden stick to pull the bonfire from a distance, although the two of them did not speak, they performed their duties.
In autumn and winter, the roe deer in this dry forest is quite fat, especially the meat of the hind legs is the most delicious and tender.Xia Baimei sharpened the firewood, skewered the deer legs on the fire, and grilled them. After a while, the smell of meat overflowed, and the golden fat dripped into the fire, making the flames burn even higher.
Xia Baimei took out a small bag from her bosom after the skin of the roe deer's leg was burnt golden and crisp, picked up a pinch of salt from it and sprinkled it on it, then picked off the cooked roasted roe deer's leg and handed it to Yan Chunxi.
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to catch the deer leg. He was obviously very hungry, so he took a bite of the deer meat without thinking about anything else.
When Yan Chunxi lowered his head, he revealed a long and slender neck in vain. Although he was so hot that he could only stick out his tongue, he still eagerly swallowed it. Only then did he show a greedy and greedy look.
Xia Baimei sat and looked at it for a while, her eyes softened a little, and she asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
Emperor Zhou Ying always said that he was a man who would love others.
He saw a lot of bloody and cruel punishments in the Phoenix Pavilion in Bird Clothes Lane, and every time he walked into the human world, he felt a gloomy air in his heart and didn't know where to put it.
Therefore, whether it is good for love, or for those young ladies who come and go as soon as they are called, he is always different from other prostitutes and eunuchs, and he takes care of the bed in every possible way.
When he saw those beautiful young men, he felt that he should take care of them more, if not, it would be as if he had let down the good intention of the heavens to create such jade-like flesh and blood.
He will love people, but whether it is out of lust or something else, sometimes I really can't figure it out.
It's just that sometimes he would think in his heart, if he wasn't a crippled eunuch, perhaps, he might not have put all his love and affection in this life on that Great Zhou Emperor.
Yan Chunxi blushed when he was asked, and then nodded slightly. His lips were stained with grease, and under the firelight, he looked even more plump and lustrous, quite touching.
"Why do you even carry salt with you?" the young man couldn't help asking curiously while eating the deer leg.
"I've been traveling all year round, so I have to prepare some." Xia Baimei replied, and he took off the deer meat from other places to roast, and said indifferently: "The ancients said: eat deer in autumn and winter, and eat sheep in spring and summer. This time My son's roe deer is actually a good game, you eat more, and your body will be warmer."
Xia Baimei saw that Yan Chunxi liked roe deer legs, so she ate some other parts of roe deer meat first, and then handed the other roasted roe deer leg to Yan Chunxi.
But the young man became a little shy at the moment, shook his head and refused: "Many, thank you, Master Xia, I'm almost full, you should eat..."
He is not stupid, he knows that deer legs are the most delicious, Xia Baimei is taking care of him.
"It's okay."
Xia Baimei's voice was hoarse and authentic, but she unexpectedly said a joke that was neither cold nor cold: "Whatever you eat, you can make up for it. You are limping now, so you don't have to be polite."
Yan Chunxi raised his head, looked at Xia Baimei in a daze, and didn't know how to refuse for a while.
The relationship between the two of them should have been tense. Xia Baimei acted mysteriously and secretly, and she was a vicious eunuch under Emperor Zhou Ying. He captured him and wanted to threaten Guan Junchen, and even burned several inches of wounds on his waist with his own hands. , that kind of pain, he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it;
But in this dry forest cave, when they were sitting together eating a deer, many things became quite blurred, and he actually felt that he was very close to Xia Baimei.
……
If there is no firewood to burn in the cave, it will be bitingly cold.
After nightfall, Xia Baimei told Yan Chunxi to go to bed first, while she kept watch over the fire in the middle of the night.
Yan Chunxi thought that Xia Baimei was also injured, so he slept for a while and went to replace Xia Baimei, but he is not strong enough to practice martial arts, and coupled with the exhausted running around all the way, he fell asleep after sleeping After passing by, the sky was already dark when I opened my eyes.
After Yan Chunxi got up, he found that Xia Baimei had found half an earthen pot by the fire, and there was a large handful of clean fresh snow in it, which was slowly burning on top of the campfire. It can boil snow into water to drink.
As soon as he saw the water, Yan Chunxi felt that his throat was already very dry, and he was very happy at the thought of having hot water to drink later. .
He stood there looking at it for a while, and for some reason, a rather strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind, he only felt that Xia Baimei was very similar to those wealthy customers in the true and false stories he heard from his parents when he was young——
Riding horses in the rivers and lakes, staying overnight in the wilderness, still have a good time.
Perhaps Xia Baimei shouldn't have stayed in the palace to be a powerful eunuch, so perhaps it would be easier to comfort her.
Thinking of this, Yan Chunxi couldn't help but shook his head, he just felt that he was absurd, Xia Baimei's wisdom and martial arts were far superior to him, how could it be his turn to think about these things for others.
Holding on to the wall, he slowly walked out of the cave, and then followed Xia Baimei's footprints in the snow, and went all the way through the dry forest, only to find Xia Baimei at the edge of the cliff.
Xia Baimei was sitting cross-legged on a huge strange rock, holding a holly leaf in her hand, slowly rolled up the sides of the leaf and placed it on her lips to blow it.
The sound was quite vigorous, but the timbre was a little rough. On the edge of the dark and steep cliff, the sound of the blades and the sound of the cold wind whizzed and intertwined, which made the ending sound dry, as if the person blowing the blades was quite depressed.
Yan Chunxi looked at Xia Baimei's lonely back from afar, and for some reason, although he didn't know what was going on in Xia Baimei's mind, he seemed to be able to understand something.
He walked over carefully from behind, held onto the edge of the strange rock, sat down slowly, and listened quietly.
I don't know how long it took Xia Baimei to stop. Of course, he knew that Yan Chunxi had come, but he ignored it and just stared down at the holly leaf in his hand.
The emerald green holly leaves trembled, as if they could not withstand the force of the cold wind. Xia Baimei gently stroked the veins of the leaves with his fingers pitifully. Little Holly was remembering something.
Yan Chunxi vaguely heard him sigh and open his palms, allowing the cold wind to blow away the thin holly leaves in his palms, spiraling down to the deep valley beside the cliff.
Looking at this scene, Yan Chunxi couldn't help muttering: "Why, why didn't you blow it up..."
"If you can't get into tune, don't force it."
Xia Baimei turned her head to look at Yan Chunxi with a very calm expression: "Do you know... who taught me this?"
Yan Chunxi shook his head, naturally he didn't know.
Xia Baimei smiled slightly, his teeth were very white, and his smile was quite touching: "It's the emperor."
Yan Chunxi's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know what to say.
But fortunately Xia Baimei didn't want him to respond at first, but continued on his own: "At that time he was not the emperor, he was just a prince who was not very favored in the East Palace, so he didn't take care of everything as he is now. Therefore, there are many times when you can stay with me."
Yan Chunxi looked at Xia Baimei in a daze. He had indeed heard Guan Junchen talk about Xia Baimei's entanglement with Zhou Yingdi. Although he was curious before, he didn't dare to ask Xia Baimei.
After all, it was the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, Xia Baimei would speak bluntly to him about the privacy of the emperor, and even called the matter between the emperor and him "together". This is really shocking, how could Yan Chunxi Don't panic.
"Young Master Yan, you have never met the Emperor, have you?"
Xia Baimei asked.
"Yes, it is……"
Yan Chunxi stammered.
"When you see the emperor now, you may not think he is so good, but more than ten years ago..."
There was a faint light in Xia Baimei's eyes, and he said softly: "The emperor was handsome and heroic when he was young, and his mind was even more astute. There are many things that others have to learn for a long time before he can master them, but he always understands them. He is not only proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics , Ritual, music, archery, imperial control, calligraphy, and mathematics are all proficient. Mr. Yan, I know that you must think that Prince Ning is the most extraordinary person in your heart, but I want to say that Da Zhou is an outstanding person in the world—— The emperor must belong."
"More than that, the emperor's talent is not limited to rituals and six arts. He is not a well-behaved prince who only knows about reading and political affairs."
"When he was in a good mood, he often took me out of the palace in disguise. We pretended to be rich sons to go to Nanguan and Liyuan to listen to operas. He taught me how to taste wine and how to play chess. It's just that my intelligence is far inferior to his. Over the years , I have never won a game of chess with him. The emperor is both elegant and familiar with the style of the market. He is familiar with many bizarre stories that have been passed down by word of mouth. He has never If you think folk affairs are indecent, you can see the vivid aspirations of the common people of Dazhou from them."
"He is also a very interesting person. Even if he picks up a leaf at random, he can play elegant music. Mr. Yan, do you know that in winter, only holly and pine and cypress are evergreen, and only holly can play. It's just that the leaves are quite hard, so the tone is gloomy, just like the solar terms of cold winter. But in spring...everything comes back to life, and even the leaves are soft and soft, and now they are played again, and the tune is cheerful and light, which is much more beautiful All these little things are taught by the emperor."
As Xia Baimei talked, her expression gradually became a little crazy.
In his life, he has never told anyone about these pasts.
The person he fell in love with eventually became the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so as time passed, he became more and more silent——
The love of his life should never be able to be mentioned to a third person.
It's just that once this person holds back for a long time, when he wants to speak out, the words in his heart seem to burst a dike.
He murmured, everything seemed to happen yesterday, and those tender feelings and companionship really appeared in front of his eyes, and he only hoped that he could keep talking like this, saying how good Emperor Zhou Ying was. , Said that Emperor Zhou Ying was great, with a smile and a graceful demeanor.
Yes, how could Emperor Zhou Ying be bad?
The world is weak, so when love dies, they always say that they have not met a lover.
But in fact, if Zhou Yingdi had never been kind to him, he would not have devoted his whole life to love.
The cruelest person in this world has never been a heartbroken person, but a lover who will one day quietly change his appearance so that he can no longer recognize him.
"Lord Xia... Your Majesty, Your Majesty really liked you."
Yan Chunxi's eyes were sore when he heard this. In his heart, Emperor Zhou Ying was a ruthless emperor who threatened Guan Junchen step by step, and even more wantonly killed Zhongliang.
But he didn't want to say anything else, he could feel the endless pain in Xia Baimei's heart, so he really couldn't bear to say more.
"Yes." Xia Baimei nodded, a bleak smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Mr. Yan, yesterday you asked me who hurt me, and I didn't answer you. Now you can guess the answer." Yet?"
Yan Chunxi's heart trembled, he vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to say it.
The speculation made his hair stand cold.
"The emperor once gave me a blood dragon colt. This horse runs extremely fast and is comparable to the ancient blood and blood horses. It is rare to see a god horse, and its habits are also seldom known. But by chance, I accidentally learned about this blood dragon horse. The dragon mare has a strange fragrance when she sweats, and as long as other stallions follow the scent, she can chase after her. Over the years, I have doubts, maybe the emperor gave me this horse to know my whereabouts at all times, but I never asked the emperor. That day I was disheartened, and I resigned from the position of commander of Wuyi Lane. This move was quite dangerous, but when I left the city, I still purposely rode the blood dragon horse bestowed by the emperor, Mr. Yan, you can guess what I said Is there a reason for doing so?"
"You, you want to test..."
Yan Chunxi sweated slightly on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "You want to test the emperor's mind."
"Yes."
Xia Baimei smiled again, and he said calmly: "After I left the city, I found my subordinates to pretend that I was riding on the blood dragon horse, and I changed into ordinary horses to follow behind quietly, but within a day, I just A man with extremely high martial arts came out of the imperial city and rode a colt behind the blood dragon horse, so this man came to kill me naturally."
"Mr. Yan, being with the king is like being with a tiger. Being in love with the emperor is probably more dangerous. I have been with the emperor for more than ten years. In order to protect the emperor, I lost my voice and practiced martial arts that shorten my life. I eradicate dissidents and kill people for the emperor. Killing me, but now, I am just disheartened and want to escape to the rivers and lakes, but the emperor wants my life. If you are me, what should you do?"
"me……"
Yan Chunxi couldn't answer, he only felt extremely terrified in his heart.
Emperor Zhou Ying was deeply scheming, but Xia Baimei didn't give in. These two people are like fierce beasts all the way. Although they are in love, they also guard each other unscrupulously. Such feelings really scare him.
"That's right, Mr. Yan is not me."
Xia Baimei nodded slightly, and continued: "I followed the man in the palace. I was in the dark, and he was in the light. He was naturally unprepared, and I poisoned him with a colorless and odorless poison. I spared his life. I wanted to I inquired carefully, but I didn't expect this person's martial arts to be perfected, he secretly forced out a little bit of poison, and could brazenly fight me to the death. The wounds on my waist and abdomen were caught by this person's eagle claw skills Yes, it was extremely dangerous at that time, if my reaction was a little slower, even my intestines would be ripped out. I knew in my heart that if I lost this battle, I would definitely die. In the past, it was better than three points, and desperately blocked the man's pulse door, which shocked his heart."
"The man was seriously injured, but he didn't die for a while. I cut off his toes one by one, and then put honey on his wound, and let him be bitten by ants. I tortured him until he had only two toes left. At that time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and according to my intention, he wrote a secret letter to the emperor, telling him: Xia Baimei is dead, he was seriously injured, and he chased very far, and he will not return to Beijing until more than ten days later. Mr. Yan, if I do this, you must think that I am cruel and terrifying, but I have to do this - because only in this way can I buy myself some time."
In this dry forest, Xia Baimei's expression was flat, and she just talked like this, but when Yan Chunxi thought of the bloody wound he saw yesterday, and Xia Baimei's desperate struggle, and the tragic torture that followed, he couldn't help but think of it. I felt my heart beating extremely fast. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I could still feel the bloody aura rushing towards my face.
"Time...Master Xia, you, what are you going to do?"
Yan Chunxi suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Regicide."
Xia Baimei stared at Yan Chunxi and said calmly.
