you got on my tail

The full moon rises from the border, the clear light shines brightly, and the Qiang flute is under the moon.

The sky was clear and the moon and stars were like a river. Fu Jijue turned his body lightly on the bed, coughing heavily from time to time, and slept restlessly.

Li Ye stood by his side for a while, nodding in sleepiness from time to time, then realized after a while, and rubbed his eyes sideways.

Fu Jijue stretched out his hand from the quilt, with a gentle smile: "Go to sleep."

"You can't sleep well." Li Ye shook his head.

"In these years, how many days have I been able to sleep well?" Fu Jijue asked with a smile, and said softly, "Three quarters of the countless days and nights in this world, I can't sleep well. I'm used to it."

Li Ye's Adam's apple choked for a moment, but the words came to his lips but he didn't make a sound, and finally nodded.

"Don't forget." When Li Ye turned around, Fu Jijue pointed to the table. Li Ye turned around and saw a letter lying on the table with the word Canghua written on it.

The night at the border is not peaceful, the cold night wind keeps howling, like a hungry wolf whining.

Ever since he found Fu Jijue in the world, Li Yezao got used to such frightening late nights. He lowered his head and tucked in the quilt, turned into a little fox, and then tiptoedly opened the curtain.

A face appeared suddenly, and then stretched out a hand to grasp the big furry tail of the fox. Li Ye struggled for a moment, facing the bright star-like eyes of the sky, and lowered his claws helplessly.

"You're back!" Cang Hua looked at him happily, showing half of his cute canine teeth, the young man was tall and handsome, his face was still a little immature, he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Don't make noise!" The fox stood upside down, pulling at the hem of his clothes with his claws, "The lord finally took a rest!"

"Yes—" Cang Hua agreed in an exaggeratedly low voice, and instantly turned into a snake, standing side by side with the fox. The fat-headed snake raised its head and hissed twice.

Fox waved his hand helplessly.

It was quiet under the moon, and the fox and the snake walked slowly to a lake. The lake was wide and empty, and the water was full of nebula, and it was far away from the sky, just like a long road.

The little snake followed him all the time, but didn't speak.

"What on earth do you have to say?" The fox scratched his neck, "If you have nothing to say, I'm going back."

"Don't!" The little snake stuck out its tongue, "Well, did Bai Xuehe write to me?"

"Don't tell me, I forgot." The fox stood up slowly, turned into a young man in an instant, took out a somewhat worn letter from his pocket, and handed it.

"Thank you!" Cang Hua wrapped the letter with his tail, opened it before changing his body, and spread the letter under the moonlight, wagging his tail to get close.

But after handing over the letter, Li Ye quickly turned into a firefox, as if to cover up the sluggishness of his movements and expressions, he paused for a while, and said slowly: "He... what did he say...?"

"He said, don't let me go back to the capital." Canghua turned into a human, carefully put the letter into his lapel, but he was not disappointed, "Also, the poor emperor will soon remove the person from Bailu Pass, we will You can enter the capital."

Cang Hua said in a calm tone, he was born as a dragon god, he only knew how to do whatever he wanted, and now he only cared about whether it was Bai Xuehe's letter, as for the state of the world and the life and death of the emperor, it had nothing to do with him.

Li Ye nodded and said nothing.

I have been in the world for many years, and I know how indifferent and mean Fu Jiying is, killing brothers and fathers, forcing Fu Jijue to give in and forbear, so he will do whatever it takes.

"What's wrong with you?" Cang Hua asked him, "Fox, are you alright?"

"No." Li Ye shook his head and said suddenly: "By the way, Canghua, although you have been severely injured, but I have kept you in Fangcun Mountain's enchantment for several years, and your soul must have recovered a lot, and you can still transform into a dragon ?"

"I'm a dragon, so why not?" Cang Hua smiled disdainfully, and then walked towards the lake in front of him, but the pool in the desert was not shallow. The lake was completely submerged.

"You..." Before Li Ye could speak, the lake was already calm, like a bright mirror, without any waves.

The lake water suddenly parted neatly from it, but without making any sound, a huge silver dragon burst out of the water, its scales were jagged like water waves, and clear moonlight poured out layer by layer.

Li Ye took half a step back, trembling slightly, even though he still spoke and acted like a child, everything in front of him was the light that only God deserves.

When the sky turned slightly pale, Fu Jiying drank a cup of strong tea, swept away the memorial in front of him, and strode towards the side hall.

The side hall was burning with a refreshing fragrance. Dozens of imperial physicians stood in front of the bed curtains. When they saw someone approaching, they quickly retreated and knelt down, their heads buried in silence, their shoulders trembling constantly.

Fu Jiying looked cold, and continued to move forward. Bai Xuehe was lying in the heavy curtains and closed his eyes, breathing very heavily, his face was flushed, but his lips were pale.

In this side hall of the imperial palace, he has been in a coma for three whole days, unconscious, relying on the force-fed ginseng soup to survive.

Fu Jiying approached, and the kneeling person also turned around. The Supreme Hospital judge tremblingly said: "Although the sword is dangerous, it is indeed open to the heart, and I will wake up soon..."

Before the imperial physician finished speaking, Fu Jiying kicked him, which hit him in the heart.

The judge coughed violently and struggled for a long time before getting up reluctantly. Fu Jiying said expressionlessly, "I can't even hold on to my body, so I dare to stay in the palace for medical treatment."

Behind him was a young imperial doctor who couldn't stand it anymore and straightened his body, "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for foreign ministers entering the palace in my dynasty!"

Fu Jiying turned her head coldly, her eyes were full of hostility, and the air was silent for a while.

Standing at the door, Wei Lan couldn't bear to wait any longer, and gently knocked on the door. Seeing that he had something to say, Fu Jiying waved her hand impatiently, signaling the imperial doctor to go down.

Wei Lan approached lightly, and said in a low voice: "The assassin is indeed from Leshan Hall. He was a disciple of Master Yu Wang. The slave sent people to surround Le Shan Hall the day before yesterday. It is true that a female disciple is missing. Senior Sister, you even came to the palace."

"I know this person." Fu Jiying lowered her head and saw that Bai Xuehe was in a daze. She couldn't eat anything these days, her cheeks were even thinner, and her chin poked at someone. Cuddled in his arms.

Bai Xuehe closed his eyes tightly, his thick and long eyelashes trembling uncontrollably, making him feel pitiful.

"Her name is Lianxiu, and she used to treat King Yu as her younger brother. It wouldn't be surprising if she did something." Fu Jiying lowered her head and touched Bai Xuehe with her forehead, "It's just what happened that night, I always feel very strange, and I don't understand what's wrong."

Wei Lan didn't know what was wrong, so she asked in a low voice, "Then, what about Leshan Hall?"

"Kill." Fu Jiying's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes kept looking at Bai Xuehe, "Snow He is still running a fever, I think the imperial physicians in the palace are useless, Wei Qing, why don't you go find a doctor among the people..."

"Your Majesty." Xu is devoted to his work, and Xu is eager for skill for a while. The unconscious Bai Xuehe actually woke up at this moment. He tried to raise his head, and made a weak voice with a smile, "There is indeed something strange about this matter."

"Are you awake?" Fu Jiying's tone was a little excited, she immediately hugged him into her arms, then let him go slowly, staring at the still smiling face in a daze.

"Master is wise, the matter is indeed strange." Bai Xuehe was hugged by him, his wound was painful, and he still smiled weakly and said: "Since King Yu's accident, we have investigated everything about him. Leshantang is worried all day long. Have the strength to assassinate."

"You go to rest first." Fu Jiying tucked the quilt up for him, patted his face angrily, and persuaded him nicely: "I know you are not convinced, Wei Lan will investigate the messy things in Leshan Hall, don't worry. "

"Your Majesty has great martial arts skills." Bai Xuehe was relentless, and looked up at Wei Lan, "Master Wei always accompanies Sheng Jia, why are we being plotted against?"

Wei Lan was speechless and flustered, "This..."

He couldn't answer, so he opened his clothes and knelt down.

"I didn't mean to blame Mr. Wei, it's just that there were too many assassins that day, and there were people shooting arrows around the wall, so I gave the female assassin a chance." Bai Xuehe was weak, but his voice was hurried, which was indisputable, "King Yu had an accident. , Le Shantang is busy getting rid of himself before it's too late, how can there be a chance to design such a rigorous assassination."

Wei Lan knelt down, took a deep breath, and suddenly froze.

"That's right." Fu Jiying lowered his head and sneered, his tone changed, and a smoldering look flickered between his brows, "Xu Yan is a rebellious minister and traitor, death is not a pity, but some people think that he shouldn't die, but I should be the one who died?"

This sentence was very serious, Bai Xuehe also struggled to get half of his body out, pretending to kneel.

"Don't move." Fu Jiying raised his hand, still hugging Bai Xuehe, raised his hand and said, "Wei Lan, the people in Leshan Hall can definitely be killed, you send another team to keep an eye on Li Lun."

"Yes." Wei Lan quickly agreed, and then got up to leave.

"Slow down." Fu Jiying smiled lightly, and covered Bai Xuehe with a brocade quilt, "I draw up an order, saying that Li Yuan will not bring a single soldier with him when he returns to Beijing from Bailu Pass, and those who resist the order will die."

"Yes..." Wei Lan replied in a deep voice and disappeared quickly.

……

After some deliberate reasoning, Bai Xuehe fell into a coma all day long, waking up and falling asleep, perhaps because of an injury in his back, he would get scratched if he lay on his side, and his body would tremble and convulse uncontrollably.

When night fell, he woke up from his deep sleep. Fu Jiying had already left, and only a few imperial physicians and court ladies were guarding him.

They also seemed to be very tired from the torment, and each fell asleep crookedly.

Bai Xuehe stood up with support, panting extremely heavily, the candlelight in front of his eyes seemed to be covered by fog, it was bright and then dark, he reluctantly sat down with the bed curtains, his eyes darkened again.

There was a hand stove on the bed, and it rolled down following his movements, with a sudden "bang".

The imperial physician and palace servants woke up with a start and got up hastily.

Before they opened their mouths, a tall man appeared, he reached out and tapped on the screen in front of the window, Yubai pointed his finger outwards, the imperial doctor left together with the palace staff, and the room was immediately silent.

"Master Wei." Bai Xuehe smiled gently, pointed at the table, and said in a very soft voice, "Since Master Wei is here, please pour me a cup of tea."

Wei Lan said nothing, and moved forward with the lamp, and saw Bai Xuehe's complexion was weak, the collarbone under the neck was bony, and even his usual smile was a little weak.

His heart suddenly tugged, he sighed, put down the things in his hands, and gently handed over a cup of warm tea.

Sweet-scented osmanthus honey was specially added to the tea, which is sweet and delicious, which is very suitable for Bai Xuehe's sweet habit. It must have been arranged by Fu Jiying on purpose.

"What's the matter, Master Wei?" Bai Xuehe drank the water slowly, even licking off the honey stains left on the cup, before speaking, "I just escaped from death, and Master Wei came to complain about the Li family? Remember, you are not such a person who can't talk and do things."

"I am the commander of Jinyiwei. I am ordered by the emperor. Whether the Li family lives or dies has nothing to do with me." Wei Lan had a rare serious expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment, straightened his body and said, "It is the emperor who helped me." In this position, no matter whether he is wrong or not, as long as someone wants to harm the emperor, I will absolutely not tolerate it."

Wei Lan would beat around the bush, but at this moment, he really didn't want to beat around the bush.

"Master Wei, what do you mean by this?" Bai Xuehe smiled instead of anger, with a sneering look on his face, "Could it be that I cooperated with the assassin and deliberately blocked the sword?"

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Wei Lan paused, and hurriedly said: "I can pretend that I didn't hear what Master Bai just said."

Now Bai Xuehe felt it was even more ridiculous, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and the words followed closely, "You were the first to be suspicious, and I will speak for you, but you don't want to admit it?"

Wei Lan didn't speak, but looked solemn.

"Then let me ask you, the assassin will hit me right in the heart." Bai Xuehe narrowed his eyes slightly, and moved closer to his face, "Sooner or later, I will be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, why risk my life to kill someone who must die. "

"I didn't say Li Lun."

The dead branches outside the window were covered with white snow, and fell to the ground in an instant, making a muffled sound.

Wei Lan quickly raised her head and stared fiercely into his eyes, "You have quit the painkiller ointment long ago, haven't you?"
