many worries

The sky was completely dark, and the accumulated dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, which seemed to weigh heavily on people's hearts. Except for a small candle, there was no light around, and everything was silent.

Xiao Shishi's hands and feet were clean and quick, and he tortured Defu halfway through the torture, and then remembered that he should kill Defu's life first, so he let Defu live for a while longer.

Under Tie Jiaguan, Dequan died quickly and quietly. Defu was too busy to take care of himself. He couldn't even see Dequan's death clearly. He continued to lose blood, and his consciousness was already very blurred.

The hut was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Jing Yan stood by the sealed window, occasionally glanced over, without saying a word.Although his methods have always been called ruthless, he has no habit of torturing people. After asking what he wants to ask, it is a waste of time to spend a little more time on the mortal person.

But this time it was different, they touched Qiao Yu, it was completely different.

Jing Yan slightly raised his hand, and unfolded the wide sleeve of his left hand. On it were the black dragons and small flowers that Qiao Yu embroidered for himself. Except for those little fools, no one could embroider such a look but was complacent. It's very chic, and he likes it.

To be precise, I like it very much.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't want to let it be stained with blood, as if that would ruin Qiao Yu's intentions.For Jing Yan, no matter what he does, his hands are always stained with blood.But since a long time ago, when doing these things, he would deliberately avoid Qiao Yu, and he was always unwilling to let the naive trash see that as long as he was still alive, he would protect Qiao Yu for as long as he could.

Jing Yan will always remember two nights, one was when they met for the first time, Qiao Yu tearfully begged herself to catch fireflies for him.Another thing is that a few days after he thought he would never see Qiao Yu again, in front of the Taiqing Palace, when the little eunuch looked up, it was Qiao Yu's face.

Thinking of this, Jing Yan's deep eyes became more tender.

Defu's panting gradually became weaker, and there was only a slight breathing sound. Xiao Shishi was afraid that he would not be able to last until Jing Yan made a decision, so he hesitated for a moment, then stopped, rested for a while, and asked Jing Yan to report to the official.

Jing Yan glanced at Defu who was just more breathless than the dead body, but did not stop Xiao Shishi, and just stood there listening.Xiao Shishi was responsible for the transmission of the integrated news, and Jing Yan sent out the matters above the court and handed them over to others.

It is not difficult to find out Lu Zhao's life experience, and there will be news soon.His father, Lu Yuanxing, was originally a captain under Feng Cheng, and he was also considered to have made great military achievements, and his achievements were higher than his. Using the overall situation as an excuse, let Captain Lu die fighting alone.This matter was done very cleverly, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty knew very little, and that battle was indeed a big victory except for Captain Lu, and Emperor Yuande would not blame Feng Cheng any more because of a dead person, and the matter passed like this .The Lu family didn't have a deep foundation. It was originally started by Lu Yuanxing, but it fell quickly after Lu Yuanxing's death.Even Lu Zhao's original wish was to go to the frontier like his father, but because of the burden of the family, he entered the palace as a guard in order to provide a high salary to support his family.

A few years ago, Jing Yan had seen Lu Zhao and Lu Yuanxing talking about frontier military affairs, they were indeed very talented and farsighted, and being a guard in the palace was indeed a waste of talent.

He thought for a moment, and said: "Lu Zhao is very suitable to go to Saibei. He likes to reuse people who have nothing to worry about, no power and no influence, and can only rely on the imperial power."

Jing Yan's voice was slightly lowered, as if mocking, "After all, the Chen family is gone, leaving only the Feng family."

The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.Even if the Feng family relies closely on Emperor Yuande, there will be no exception. Emperor Yuande will not let go of any of the remaining aristocratic families, especially those with military power.Just like the sudden collapse of the Qiao family back then, even if all the direct lineages of a century-old family were killed by bandits, the collateral lineages would immediately support the family. How could they fall down at will, almost becoming a rich family in the countryside.

Xiao Shishi was a little hesitant. There are so many talented people in this world, but they cannot be recruited one by one, because there is no way to gain their loyalty.

Jing Yan saw his doubts at a glance, and briefly explained, "Give Lu Zhao a chance, the Feng family will not let him stand out, and Emperor Yuande has no time to take care of a little guard who is not very useful. Lu Zhao and him Father is very similar, Lu Yuanxing may not have seen Feng Cheng's plan back then, but he still agreed to the transfer."

The so-called employment is like this, there must be a degree of relaxation, there must be both temptation and reward.

Xiao Shishi didn't ask anymore, the specific assignment was not his business, and he couldn't ask more, so he continued to talk about the affairs in Saibei.

He spoke for a short while, but Jing Yan suddenly frowned, waved his hand, stopped Xiao Shishi's words, and listened to the voice outside.Although the windows were sealed, Jing Yan could hear a sound different from the rain falling through the gaps that could not be seen.

It was Qiao Yu, who was calling Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was stunned, walked to the door in two or three steps, opened the door immediately, walked outside, and faced Qiao Yu who had been searching all the way.He was only wearing a middle coat and a coat on his head. He didn't even put on his shoes properly. Half of his heels were exposed, and he didn't hold an umbrella. He was soaked from head to toe.

Because there was no light, Jing Yan couldn't see clearly. The moment he leaned over to close the door, Qiao Yu rushed over regardless.

He had just woken up from his sleep. There was no one around him, not even a little bit of warmth. Four paper lanterns were hung on the left and right sides of the lamp stand, and the glass lamps on the hooks were burning. The whole room was as bright as daytime. Qiao Yu But he was terrified, because it was not Guang, but Jing Yan that could make him feel at ease.He rolled himself into a ball, thinking in his heart, where did the prince who made an appointment with him before going to bed go?

Qiao Yu waited for a while. He felt that he had been waiting for a long time, but Jing Yan hadn't come back. He was terrified, couldn't stop crying, and then stumbled off the bed. He grabbed a coat and put it on. Ignoring the wind and rain outside, I went straight out to find Jing Yan.

It was raining heavily, and it was so dark outside that it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.Qiao Yu touched the wall and searched the front yard but couldn't find it, so he put his coat on his head and rushed into the rain, followed a path he didn't recognize clearly to the back yard, and hit by mistake, Just arrived at the front of this hut.

It wasn't until he saw Jing Yan that he loosened his tight teeth and burst into tears. His small fist couldn't hold back and hit Jing Yan's chest, but it was also light, as if he wasn't willing to use force, like a vicious voice, In fact, she was still complaining like a baby, "Didn't you agree to stay with me? Why did you disappear when I woke up? No matter how I searched, I couldn't find you. No matter how I searched, there was nothing..."

Jing Yan forcefully carried him halfway into the leaky corridor, took off his coat, and coaxed him softly, "It's my fault, I didn't do what I promised Xiaoyu, just cry, don't cry." Don’t be scared, don’t be sad.”

From his angle, he could see that the corners of Qiao Yu's eyes were tinged with red, and the tears kept overflowing and falling from the eye sockets. He cried into a ball, and no longer fell softly and obediently in Jing Yan's arms as usual, but It was very stiff, probably because he wanted to get close, but he barely straightened his back, as if it could be broken easily.

The deep and shallow whimpers were drowned out by the sound of the rain falling, and only Jing Yan and Qiao Yu could hear them.

Qiao Yu shouldn't have woken up at this time. The food was filled with sleeping medicine powder. He had never eaten these things, and he had no resistance. He should have slept peacefully until dawn without a dream.But he was very scared in his dream, as if he could sense that Jing Yan was not by his side, he woke up suddenly, and there was no one beside him.

His heart seemed to be caught, his breathing was rapid, faster and faster, almost crushing himself, just like the fear when he was caught by Defudequan and his face was covered with mulberry paper.

Until now, Qiao Yu knew that the moment he saw Jing Yan, he calmed down and was freed from the edge of life and death.

Jing Yan took a deep breath, threw Qiao Yu's drenched coat aside, put on his own, gently stroked Qiao Yu's back with ten fingers, forcibly hugged the little fool in his arms, and let him Tears, only close movements, no more explanations.

After a long time, Qiao Yu had soaked all the clothes on Jing Yan's body before he relaxed, completely soft in his arms, not at all confident as usual, but said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, I Fear."

Qiao Yu timidly picked up Jing Yan's clothes, her snow-white skin was almost transparent, and she acted coquettishly towards Jing Yan.He still doesn't know that Jing Yan has already known about that matter, and has even resolved it. There will be no future troubles in the future, and he still tries to lie, stammering and choking, "I, I just fell down today, it hurts too much, Your Highness , Your Highness said to coax me well, and then disappeared in the middle of the night, why is it so annoying, really annoying."

Perhaps it was because in Jing Yan's arms, she was no longer afraid, and the more she spoke, the more confident she became.

Jing Yan saw that he was relaxed and was still willing to lie to himself, but followed his words and said: "Yes, I really hate it, I am so much older than you, and my words don't count, I should apologize to Xiaoyu, and I have to make an apology. "

Qiao Yu was stunned, even though he was used to being unreasonable, he felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "...I don't hate it, Your Highness is fine."

He felt that the prince tonight was extraordinarily gentle.

With a smile in his eyes, Jing Yan finally picked up Qiao Yu and planned to walk into the house, coaxing him, "It's not good at all, it's very annoying, I have to give Xiaoyu a gift tomorrow to forgive me."

He took two steps forward, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see the blood seeping into the yard from the house, all of which had been washed away by the rain, leaving no trace at all, just like his gentleness, all hidden in the bottomless darkness Among them, no one could see except Qiao Yu, who was shining by herself.

Back in the house, Jing Yan wanted to boil some hot water, but was grabbed by Qiao Yu desperately and couldn't move. In desperation, he had to wash the towel with the cold water just now, and wiped Qiao Yu's wet body. After that, I also rinsed my blood-stained hair with cold water.

When he returned to the bed, Qiao Yu covered herself in the bed and fell asleep again.

This is his light.

Jing Yan looked at Qiao Yu's slightly trembling eyelashes, and couldn't help touching them.

The author has something to say:

Xiaoyu: You are so annoying.

Jing Yan: I really hate it.

Xiaoyu: Except for me, no one is allowed to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hates him!

Jing Yan: ...
