Chapter 49: Clue

Although the beauty is in my arms... well, I am in the beauty of the beauty,

and I have not completely fallen asleep. I am afraid that I will not see her

when I wake up, and I suspect that this is just a fantasy created by my

longing and thinking; therefore, I am different. When the change was about to

happen, I vaguely felt wrong."Jiang Zhuo, do you think... it's too quiet outside?" I tugged at the corner

of her clothes, I turned to my side, and changed to lying on my back, but

still reluctant to leave her legs—— Staying for a while is a while, I don't

know if I have a chance in the future!"Well, although it's not a avenue, it's too quiet..." She frowned and patted

me on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness, you get up first.""Don't... Well, the king is still a little dizzy, yes, dizzy..." Seeing that

she meant to go out to inquire, I didn't want her to take the risk, her brain

was hot, and she hugged the rogue to the end. She refused to let it go, "Don't

go anywhere, just stay in the carriage..."But before I finished speaking, I heard an angry shout from the guards outside

the carriage: "Who? Protect Your Highness!"The captain of the guard assigned by Yan Ke hurriedly knocked on the wall of

the car, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, our team is surrounded

by a group of masked men in black. The opponent is the same number as us, so

it is not suitable to fight for a long time; Your subordinates will arrange

for some people to cover your Highness's breakthrough, please take care of

yourself.""What? Breaking through?" I was stunned, and it took a while to realize that

the team had encountered an unknown ambush—according to what the captain of

the guard meant, he was actually trying to hold the enemy behind me, okay.

Teach me to escape first?And hearing her say this, Jiang Zhuo's face turned straight, but he didn't

rush out.I saw that she carefully lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at the

situation outside intently, then knocked on the wall of the car, and shouted

to the driving guard: "Go now!"As the wheels swiftly rolled up, I heard the screams of soldiers intersecting

outside the carriage filling the land, and occasionally heard the sound of

sharp blades cutting flesh and the dull, suppressed cry of pain, some from my

guards, There are also those from those in black.Shrunk in Jiang Zhuo’s arms, I carefully distinguished every sound that taught

people to numb the scalp. I wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going

on, but cowardly didn’t dare to move. I struggled, hesitated, and at the same

time. Spit on his own powerlessness.—— Needless to say, the purpose of this group of people in black is naturally

me, and the guards who rush to fight outside are responsible for the mission

of protecting me; in fact, they don't have to do this.Just hand me over.It’s a good deal for me to exchange so many people alone, isn’t it?But I knew in my heart that it was the same thing. If I really wanted to do

this, I was still shy away from it.Whether the current King Ling is the infamous Kuang Xihan or Jian Xin who once

held the bottom line of principle, I will not stand out stupidly, stop

everyone, and then let the other party kill...I won't.Because I am afraid, because I can't be so selfless—for me, my life is the

most important thing.With apology and guilt, I acquiesced to Jiang Zhuo's arrangement with the

captain of the guards, and half of the guards desperately cut a gap and fled

in a carriage.The carriage was very bumpy, and it was very different from the smooth ride

before. I bumped into Jiang Zhuo's arms from time to time, but I no longer had

the original charm.Galloping for about half an hour, I felt a little churning in my stomach, and

my head began to dizzy.At this time, the speed of the carriage finally slowed down, and a strange

female voice shouted through the carriage: "Your Highness, it's going to rain

soon!"——It's really a leak in the house that even rains in the night.Her voice just fell, as if to respond to her, there was a loud "bang", and the

thunder was so shocking that the horse pulling the cart panicked and almost

overturned the cart.If it weren’t for Jiang Zhuo’s eyes and swift hands to hold me, I’m afraid

that my head will come into close contact with the hard wall of the car. I

don’t want to thank her, I lifted the curtain of the car, and said to the

temporarily leading guard at my throat. : "Is there a place to shelter from

the rain near here?"The road is slippery on rainy days and it is not suitable for us to hurry.

Besides, we were ambushed. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to

rest and make plans.Fortunately, the guard nodded, pointing in a certain direction, and said, "The

guard of Pathfinder found a ruined temple three miles away, so I can barely

take a break after tidying up."——It turned out to be a ruined temple with a 99% probability of accident in

the legend.A joking thought suddenly flashed through my mind. The situation forced me to

lose my joking mood. I was afraid that the ruined temple three miles away was

our only choice."Then go to the ruined temple and let's go." After encouraging the guard a few

words, I lowered the curtain of the car, and my expression became serious."His Royal Highness is worried?" Jiang Zhuo asked faintly, his face was as

calm as usual, and taught me to relax a bit."Jiang Zhuo, will you protect me?" Listening to the sound of the rain falling

on the roof of the car, I stared into her eyes and couldn't help asking."Yeah." She answered very softly, almost using breath sounds, but I heard it

very clearly, as if she had directly engraved the answer in my heart-and I

would not ignore her as well. After answering, the eyes drooping quickly and

the reddish cheeks.If it wasn't for the wrong time, I would really like to kiss her on the face,

even if it was a slap in the face, I was willing to do it.The rain is getting heavier, and I can already feel the rain stars floating in

the curtain of the car and the unstoppable chill; finally, when the rain

curtain continued to sky, our group rushed to the only bunker nearby-the one

that was made simple Described as a ruined temple decorated and beautified.After several hardships, the guards used the hay in the temple and the

dilapidated tents to raise a fire, but I was surrounded by sitting on the

upper wind closest to the fire, silently watching the guards take off

carelessly. Wrung out their soaked clothes and socks-deliberately told them to

be closer to the fire, and then swallowed it back.Although everyone is a woman, but they are not familiar after all, is it

really good to be honest and relatively frank like this?No matter how long it has been, I still can't adapt to the heroism of the Dawu

woman.And \- quietly glanced at Jiang Zhuo, who was concentrating on cooking on the

fire. Seeing her looking over at her, I immediately lowered my head and

pretended to stir up the fire, and my heart was beating \- I had already

decided in my heart. Feeling moved with Jiang Zhuo, he consciously should keep

a distance from everyone, not to mention staring at someone to change clothes,

just look at it more, it shouldn’t be... This consciousness treats Jiang Zhuo

equally and has nothing to do with it. men and women.The hot water boiled, and the "gudugudu" bubbled, and there were some foamed

dried mushrooms, which Yan Ke specially prepared for me during the trip; but

most of the luggage was in another carriage. There are only so many edible

foods left.I took the wooden bowl Jiang Zhuo handed me and took a small taste. Although

it is not as good as the superb craftsmanship of the royal chef, it is not so

delicious and wild. The hot soup flows from the throat to the stomach, and the

whole body is warmed up. .Holding a wooden bowl and covering my hands, I sipped the hot soup and counted

the number of people-there were probably a hundred escorts with the guards by

the carriage when I came out. I experienced the breakthrough just now, plus

the scouts and scouts who went out to explore the road. In this small ruined

temple, only a group of more than 30 people were left in this small ruined

temple. More than half of them had wounds of varying degrees, and even the

smell of food could not cover up the wounds. The smell of blood.When I thought that the wounds of these people and the embarrassment at the

moment were all because of me, I suddenly lost my appetite.The heavy rain continued, and the sky was almost dark. Under the warm fire

light, the firm faces of the guards were stained with a touch of fatigue, and

the shame in my heart became even heavier.I simply washed it, and lay on the thick bedding Jiang Zhuo had laid for me,

curled up and closed my eyes, but it was hard to fall asleep; it’s not that

the place is too hard, nor that it’s too cold this day, it’s just in my heart.

Unable to calm down-every time I close my eyes, the scene of those guards

falling in a pool of blood emerges. Those young and unwilling eyes seem to be

staring at me all the time.The fire light became faint again. I couldn't help moving towards the heat

source, but suddenly an arm crossed my waist and pulled me in the opposite

direction. Jiang Zhuo's indifferent voice with a hint of nervousness sounded

in my ears. :"Be careful!"I was so scared that I immediately opened my eyes, and saw her lying beside me

with a cold face, with one hand close to my waist and one hand to my ear,

almost pressing my whole body under my body; her heartbeat stopped abruptly.

One shot, I quickly turned my head to avoid her stare, and saw that the fire

was less than one arm away from me. If she hadn't pulled me in time, I was

afraid that my face would have been licked by the tongue of fire. It's been.After being afraid, I didn’t care about being ashamed, and quickly nudged in

her direction, and simply withdrew into her arms-I only felt that she was

stiff at first, and then I sighed helplessly, confessing my fate. So I use her

as a pillow to keep warm.With Jiang Zhuo by her side, she slept very sweetly while her heart was at

ease.If it were not for the intermittent sound of rain, other movements would be

particularly obvious, and the body holding me would suddenly tighten, and I

would not be awakened suddenly.After the clouds were sold and rained, the night sky was as clear as a mirror,

and the cold moonlight covered the ruined little temple with a layer of veil,

which also added a bit of romance; but even in this way, poets were also

impressed by the quiet beauty of the night. There are still people cruelly

sabotaging.The group of people led by the captain of the guard did not catch up. It was

probably horrible. The ruined temple taught a group of people in black to

surround it. Compared with the panic and panic earlier, I was not so scared,

and I still watched leisurely. Look at it-this look, really found a clue.These people in black wear the most common coarse cloth shorts, which are

clean and easy to move. The weapons they use are also the most common private

ritual knives. Even the general rivers and lakes are equipped with more, only

one point-the ritual knife. The knife blade is not an ordinary oval, slightly

slender and flat.And I clearly remember that when I was surrounded for the first time, I saw

with a glimpse that the knives in the hands of the people in black were round

without edges.Could it be that these two groups of men in black... are not the same power?It seems that there are so many people who want Kuang Xihan to die.
