Zhaoyang Hall where Emperor Jindu sleeps

"Luo Luo, you stay here after finishing your business every day. You have been sleepless for several days. Even your body made of iron will not be able to bear it." Shui Furong drew her eyebrows lightly, and tugged at Luo Qiuli with her slender hands. sleeves.

"Furong, you go back first. It's all my fault that the Lord has become like this. If he can't wake up like this...then I...I..." Luo Qiuli leaned slumped on the side of the bed, always agile At this moment, there is only tiredness left in the eyebrows and eyes.

Shui Furong clenched her teeth, a thin layer of anger surged between her brows.

With a crisp "pa", she slammed her palm hard on Luo Qiuli's face.

"This slap is for the lord. The lord's destiny belongs to you. You shouldn't have any doubts!"

After that, she slapped her backhand again.

"This slap was for Nangong Jing. With his medical skills, you shouldn't doubt it."

The next slap landed firmly on Luo Qiuli's cheek.After all, she couldn't bear to fight any more.

With a soft sigh, she gently stroked his face with her exhausted palm, and said with distress: "The last slap was for myself, so..." So she didn't say anything, but just sighed again .

Luo Qiuli's eyes trembled, he clenched Shui Furong's hand, and gradually slid down, until he buried his head in her arms and half knelt on the ground.

"Furong, that day...you didn't see that the lord fell to the ground dying, with countless sharp knives and arrows piercing his body, and the loess on the ground was soaked into mud by his blood. I watched helplessly. The spear pierced his chest, if it was one step later... if it was one step later..."

Thinking of what happened that day, Luo Qiuli's whole body couldn't help but tremble.All the nightmares of Fangfo's life were weighed heavily on that day.

Ten days before the battle between Jin and Xi, Luo Qiuli was ordered to lead the main force of the reinforcements to Jin.

Although he and Li Muge took precautions against Gu Yanxi early in the morning, they temporarily changed the date and route of the expedition.But unexpectedly, the other party placed the eyeliner in the reinforcements.So no matter how they change the date and route, they are still in the hands of others.

Just before half a journey away from the state of Jin, the sergeants who were stationed for rest suddenly began to vomit and diarrhea without warning, and some even fell into a coma.

During the march, it is no small matter that the team is infected with the plague.Especially the team that is preparing to support.

Li Muge was still waiting for these elites to help him settle the state of Jin, but the situation in front of him was that all the soldiers with big arms and round waists had now turned into soft-legged shrimps who could not lift knives or draw bows.Not to mention going to battle to kill the enemy, even continuing to march may be a problem now.

Luo Qiuli realized at the time that this was definitely not a coincidence.After an investigation, the culprit behind the scenes was found out-the cook who was in charge of cooking in the army.

The "cook" didn't want to hide it, and immediately admitted that he was a secret worker and his employer was Gu Yanxi.A look of confidence.

At the same time, he also made it clear to Luo Qiuli: he poisoned himself not to sabotage this support, but to let them wait a day or half a day before starting again, just to delay the troops.

Luo Qiuli knew he was being tricked, but he had no other choice.

Nangong Jing is far away in the middle school, so there is no way to arrive in time to relieve the urgent need.

So this person, he can't be killed, after all, the antidote is still in his hands.

Forced, but still a hob meat.Just like his "employer", he won't take hard things!

He calculated the time, if it was half a day late, Li Muge should be able to hold on.Therefore, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he chose to compromise and wait.

But at that time, if he knew that his decision almost caused Li Muge to die in battle, caused Xi Country to suffer a disastrous defeat, and made everything they had done in the past come to naught, he would never have acted like this.

That's why he insisted that he should be blamed for everything now.

However, there are no ifs in things, just as coincidences are inevitable in the world.

In less than half a day, the meticulous work gave Luo Qiuli the antidote.

It's just that although the army quickly set off again, they encountered mudslides and mountain collapses halfway.The expected good roads were all blocked at once, so they had to take a detour.

But this detour was more than half a day late.

The battle reports coming from the front ranged from successive victories to urgent emergencies, from frequent to no news at all, Luo Qiuli knew that something was wrong.But even though the whole army is advancing at full speed, no matter how fast it can keep up with the ever-changing changes on the battlefield.

Shui Furong tried her best to thwart the front-line offensive in the imperial palace of Jin Dynasty, and in the end even Marquis Mighty Wu was summoned back by her trick.Qingyu, Liu Ruyin and the others are also rushing with all their strength.But with the strength of a few people, it is really difficult to shake thousands of troops.

Therefore, when Luo Qiuli led the reinforcements to arrive, Xi's army was almost wiped out.The soldiers who were still fighting on the field were probably holding their breath with their chests.

Of course, the Jin army at this time has also been beaten to pieces, and it is no longer as powerful and invincible as it was at the beginning.

Luo Qiuli immediately rushed into the formation, anxiously looking for Li Muge in a sea of ​​swords and flames.

After several twists and turns, he was finally found at the main assembly point of the enemy army!

Li Muge, who was surrounded by layers of Jin soldiers in Gaixin, has long been a bloody man, almost no part of his body is intact, and the sword in his hand has been cut to the curly edge.

The blood that kept dripping gathered under his feet, and when he stepped on it, there was a clear blood mark.

Even though he was fighting alone, he still didn't give up, still supporting his dilapidated body, limping and killing everyone who approached him.

But those people will also cut a gap in his body again, gouging out the flesh and blood.

Seeing such a scene, Luo Qiuli's eyes were almost tearing apart.The whip in his hand was broken in two by him, and he rushed over without stopping.

At this time, Li Muge finally reached the real limit, his hands could no longer hold the knife, and his feet could no longer support the ground.The body fell straight down.

Just the moment he fell down, he still did not forget to carefully protect the young man in white in his arms.

Even though that person's white clothes were all dyed long ago, his eyes were slightly closed.

At this time, a long spear stabbed down impressively, and the cold light from the tip of the spear pointed directly at his chest.This stab, as long as it goes through, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving.

At a critical moment, Luo Qiuli flew towards him, and tried his best to block the fatal blow for him.At the same time, the long halberd was swung out, piercing the man in the air in an instant, and sprinkled a rain of blood.

After seeing him, Li Muge finally showed a reassuring smile on his face.

He moved his eyes to Gu Yanxi in his arms, and wanted to say something more, but he exhausted his strength. With a "plop", he finally collapsed to the ground and passed out.

In that battle, although Xi State suffered heavy casualties, it still captured Jin State.

In this turbulent world of disputes, left a strong stroke.

The more Luo Qiuli remembered, the more painful it became, and in the end even breathing became difficult.

Shui Furong's hand was bruised by him, but her heart hurt more than the pain in her hand.

Also heartbroken is Nangong Jing.

When he came in, he happened to see Luo Qiuli's hand holding Shui Furong was on the verge of collapse.

He really wanted to go forward, hug him into his arms, comfort him with the scent of medicine on his body, and tell him: don't worry, everything is over.But he didn't take this step after all.

Behind the embroidered curtain, between light and dark.

He chose to stand still and watch from afar.As ever, be a silent guardian.

After all, as a man, what qualifications does he have to expect from him?

A strong wind blew outside the house, and the window edges were creaked.

The palace lanterns hanging under the tile eaves were also scraped to pieces.

Whose loneliness is reflected on the window screen from time to time, can't tell the night's thoughts?

At this time, an extremely weak voice came from the big red brocade tent.

Luo Qiuli snapped smartly, and Shui Furong's face also showed a look of joy.

"Water...water..." Li Muge, who had been in a coma for three consecutive days and three nights, finally woke up in the middle of the night on the fourth day.

Luo Qiuli jumped into the tent ecstatically, while Shui Furong hurried to pour water for their master.

Both of them were overjoyed beyond words, and the boulder that had been in their hearts for many days was finally removed.

Before Shui Furong could reach the table, a bony hand handed her a celadon porcelain bowl, which contained a bowl of lukewarm water.

Shui Furong took the porcelain bowl and thanked her.Before turning his head, he gave a meaningful glance at Nangong Jing who "just arrived".

Nangong Jing pressed the bamboo hat, carried the medicine box, and followed behind her without any expression.

When Luo Qiuli saw Nangong Jing, he couldn't contain his joy.

"Jing, it's too late for you to come, the Lord just woke up, you should give him a knock." While speaking, he pulled Nangong Jing with one hand, and the strength almost made him stagger.

Shui Furong gave him a sidelong glance, and sat down on the side of the dragon bed first, and helped Li Muge up: "You idiot, didn't you listen to the Lord asking for water?"

Luo Qiuli was concerned, but looked at Li Muge eagerly drinking the water in the bowl, and said with a smirk with a reddish face, "I... I was so happy that I was a little dizzy."

Nangong Jing patted his head, gave him a "reassuring" look, then walked to the dragon bed and began to diagnose Li Muge's pulse.

From the beginning to the end, Luo Qiuli waited close to the side, watching Li Muge intently, fearing that if there was a flash, everything in front of him would become a big dream.

That night, Luo Qiuli did not dream.

Li Muge did indeed wake up.Although he suffered numerous serious injuries, with his solid foundation in martial arts, he managed to survive.

It's just that as soon as he regained consciousness, the first sentence he asked was where is Gu Yanxi?

Luo Qiuli hid the gloomy eyes, and told him as calmly as possible: Although Gu Yanxi was still alive when they rescued her, she was already seriously injured.Old wounds are not healed, and new diseases are added.Fighting for months, worrying too much.Moreover, he seemed to have taken drugs that greatly increased his internal energy before, so although he is not dead now, it is difficult to live.I can only hang my breath and resign myself to fate.

These words were Nangong Jing's original words, he neither exaggerated nor covered up.

No matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment he had in his heart, he never played tricks with Li Muge on Gu Yanxi's affairs.

It's not that I don't dare, I just don't want to.

Because he knows better than Li Muge himself what Gu Yanxi means to him.

"Where is he now?" After listening to Luo Qiuli's words, Li Muge was unexpectedly neither angry nor frightened, his eyebrows were calm, and his tone was flat.

"Return to the lord, and now I am settling in the Changping Palace, and there are special doctors and palace people to take care of it." The Changping Palace was the imperial residence of the former prince of the Jin Kingdom, second only to the Zhaoyang Palace of the Jin King where Li Muge lives now.

Li Muge nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words. No matter what situation he was in or who he was facing, Luo Qiuli always did things according to his wishes.Or in other words, after decades of companionship day and night, he really knows himself better than him.

"Order someone to move him to the Zhaoyang Palace." Regardless of life or death, he just wanted to keep him for a while.

After Luo Qiuli heard this, he didn't respond for a long time.He kept biting his lower lip and remained silent.

It wasn't until Li Muge raised half of his eyebrows that he took a deep breath and said, "My lord, this time, after all, he's the one who plotted against you!" When he said this, he didn't bring out much anger from the bottom of his heart, but there was a hint of anger in his voice. With a firm and decisive.No matter how clear he is about his feelings for that person, he must be reminded: Gu Yanxi is an enemy, not a friend!

"But he saved me in the end..." Li Muge could not fail to understand what Luo Qiu was thinking, but what he said was also true.

The moment Gu Yanxi stepped forward to stand in front of him, he finally saw one thing clearly in the eyes of the other party: even if they have different positions and different paths, even if they are tit-for-tat and deceive each other.

He treats him, from beginning to end, the original intention has not changed.

When he was on the verge of death, Gu Yanxi finally took off all the disguise and faced him honestly.

He also finally realized that the winner may not be the king.

He suffered for his death for many years.He has been overwhelmed for years for his righteousness.He is for himself...since "the relationship with Huangfu Guangbo", he has never done it for himself...so, he no longer hates him.

If you want to hate, you can only hate this troubled world.In the troubled times, everyone is involuntary, who can retreat completely?

That's why he wants to end this chaotic world, for the world, for himself, and for him too!

"If he can survive, let him go back to Xiangguo." Li Muge said lightly.

"My lord, this move will undoubtedly send the tiger back to the mountain and let the dragon into the sea. Are you afraid that the old debt will not be cleared, and a new one will be added?" Luo Qiuli's tone became anxious, and it was obvious that he no longer deliberately suppressed it.Even if the chance of Gu Yanxi surviving is very slim, he doesn't want to give him the slightest chance.

"I keep him by my side all the time, and I always say it's because he's still useful. Although this statement is true, it can't escape the suspicion of an excuse." Li Muge sighed softly, "I still can't kill him after all. How about Letting him go back at least removes the hidden dangers around him."

After a fierce battle, a life and death.

He was finally able to see through to him.

Luo Qiuli lowered his eyes when he heard the words.His words made him unable to refute.

He can't get off the killer he can't get off of.Whether it is helping him to avenge, or letting him seize the world, he just wants to do his best to help him achieve his wish.How could he do what he didn't want?

"Qiuli, go. Move Gu Yanxi to my place." Li Muge knew that he had made Luo Qiuli compromise again.

Luo Qiuli nodded and backed out.

Outside, the wind is getting colder.

But Nangong Jing stood on the porch, holding a big cloak in his hand, and stood there for a long time.

Seeing Luo Qiuli walk out of the palace gate, he hurried over, handed the cloak into his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's windy, put it on."

Luo Qiuli did not take the cloak, but turned his back to him and shrugged at him.The meaning couldn't be more obvious: put it on for the uncle.

Nangong Jing smiled helplessly, and there was a hint of affection in the blue eyes hidden under the bamboo hat.

Spreading out the cloak, he put it on carefully for him.

His arms were wrapped around his shoulders from behind.His hand rested on his chest, his slender and strong fingers pulled over the belt, and tied a slipknot meticulously.

In the ears, the cold wind howled.Warm, but sudden.

Luo Qiuli's mood suddenly improved, and he turned around and smiled brightly at Nangong Jing, with two dimples appearing and disappearing on his cheeks: "I said Nangong Jing, why do you appear so timely every time? I really have something to think about. Let's go! I invite you to drink!"

Nangong Jing smiled, but did not answer him.Just stepping up.

Luo Qiuli grabbed his shoulders and shouted, "Hey! Brother, hurry up! The wine will be cold!"
