Chapter 88 The Growth History of Emperors 6
Autumn nights are cold, the forest is bleak, the wind blows the leaves and makes rustling noises. Compared with the tent camp with fire lights, their place is much darker.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a loud noise in the distance, Li Qiubai turned his head to look, and that direction was where they camped.
The wind that blows is mixed with a faint smell of blood.
Zhufeng and Zhulan's sense of crisis made them tense up instantly, and they protected Li Qiubai behind them.
After a while, the smell of blood in the air became stronger, and Zhu Feng's complexion turned pale: "Master, I'm afraid something happened over there."
Just after he finished speaking, his ears moved slightly, and he caught the small voice in the forest, and his eyes were sharp: "Someone is coming this way."
"Hide first." Li Qiubai said calmly.
The three masters and servants hid in the dense bushes, hidden by the darkness of night, as long as they didn't take the initiative to make a sound, it would be difficult for people to find that there was someone hiding here.
Someone was on the upper reaches of the river, and there was a "splash" sound of water, as if the person had fallen into the water.
*
When the emperor was assassinated, the guards around him were outside to resist. The assassins were very skilled, and seeing that trouble was about to happen, Mu Chenyu came up with a way to put on the emperor's daytime clothes and lure those assassins away.
Not surprisingly, it was Mu Chenyu who fell into the water. He may still have wounds on his body at this time. In the original plot, he would flow down the river and escape from the assassins.
But in the current illusion, it is hard to say whether Mu Chenyu will really die in this assassination.
Before the assassin came after him, Li Qiubai asked Zhu Feng to fish him up. It was pitch black. Mu Chenyu, who was rescued from the water, had already passed out, and his clothes were damaged everywhere. Where exactly was the injury? Still unknown, Li Qiubai let Zhufeng carry people behind his back, and planned to leave this place as soon as possible.
A light rain fell in the sky.
As soon as they left, the assassin arrived. It didn't take long to follow the smell of blood and found the traces of the four of them. Li Qiubai and the others were hiding in the jungle. They all breathed lightly, watching the man in black outside Search in the jungle.
The other party looked like there were six people, and if they waited like this, they would find this place sooner or later.
At this moment, Mu Chenyu woke up.
The first person who noticed that he had woken up was Li Qiubai. He preemptively covered Mu Chenyu's mouth, and softly "shushed" in his ear, signaling him to keep silent.
The cold fingertips pressed against his cheeks, and for a moment it was unclear whether his face was colder or the other's hands were colder. Mu Chenyu's consciousness was a little fuzzy, her whole body tensed up subconsciously, and she smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar smell in her nose. Qingxiang, it really didn't move.
"My lord, I'll lure them away." Zhu Feng knew that he couldn't wait any longer. If they were all exposed, it would be the most dangerous time. With Zhu Feng's strength, it would be no problem to lure these people away.
Li Qiubai also understood this truth, paused, and slightly nodded in agreement.
The bamboo wind has gone.
A slight disturbance caused those people to mistook Zhufeng for Mu Chenyu, and they quickly chased after him. Li Qiubai and the others waited for a while, but they didn't see them go and return before they set off to leave.
But at this moment, a sharp arrow shot out from nowhere, crossed the side of Li Qiubai's face, brought up his long hair, there was a slight pain in the corner of his eye, and he almost lost his right eye.
A few more assassins came out—some of them came back and ambush in the dark, just to confirm the possibility that they were still hiding in place.
"Young Master, you go first, I will deal with these people." Zhu Lan said quickly.
……
-
The sound of the pattering rain echoed in my ears, the air was filled with the smell of mud, and the wet clothes stuck to my body made me uncomfortable. Li Qiubai opened his eyes, and there was no longer a dark night in front of him, although the sky was gloomy Yes, but it was clearly already daylight.
Memory comes back.
Li Qiubai remembered that Zhu Lan had blocked the assassin for him, he carried Mu Chenyu, who had woken up but was covered with scars, and left. In the end, he found a cave, but because of the rain, he fled in the mountains, running and walking , When entering the cave, the body couldn't resist, and the eyes darkened and passed out.
Now that he has entered the cave, there is dry grass under his body, which may have been left by a villager at the bottom of the mountain. Opposite him, the boy is sitting and leaning on the cave wall, his lips are pale and bloodless, and the signs of dryness are very obvious. With my eyes closed, I don't know if I fell asleep or fainted.
Li Qiubai turned his head and coughed a few times, but Mu Chenyu did not see any movement.
Li Qiubai got up, his body was weak, he slowed down, and walked up to Mu Chenyu. The boy was growing up, his long legs were slightly curved, his arched waist was thin, and his clothes were ragged , and there were many wounds on his body, but with his eyes closed, he seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, obedient and gentle.
The rain outside gradually subsided. Li Qiubai went outside to find some herbs. When he came back, Mu Chenyu had already woken up. It seemed that he was about to leave the cave. When he saw Li Qiubai coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief. Qiu Bai didn't notice.
He asked him, "Do you still know the way we came?"
It was dark at that time, and Li Qiubai was on the way to flee for his life, so he didn't deliberately observe these things, just taking Mu Chenyu to escape was already very strenuous.
Mu Chenyu was silent and shook his head.
Li Qiubai was not surprised by his answer, and said, "Let me treat your wound first."
"...Okay." Mu Chenyu replied hoarsely.
Li Qiubai paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes to hold the herbal medicine, and asked him to take off his clothes first. After he took off his clothes, Li Qiubai could clearly see the large and small wounds on his body, the most serious one was on his right shoulder, almost His bones were visible, but he acted like nothing happened.
The wound was treated briefly, the two of them did not leave in a hurry, blindly circling in the mountains was a waste of energy, Li Qiubai was going to see if he could find the traces when he came.
However, this heavy rain has already washed away everything.
Mu Chenyu's recovery ability is very strong. After a day and a night, he was able to get up and move around. They hadn't eaten for a long time. Mu Chenyu went out and caught a rabbit and came back. When he came back, the rabbit was cleaned up, and he just needed to roast it on the fire Just do it.
Li Qiubai picked up some firewood, his white clothes were dirty and messy, but his noble aura remained undiminished. Even if some people wore sacks, it was hard to hide the aura brought out from their bones.
The fire at the entrance of the cave was crackling, Li Qiubai and Mu Chenyu sat together silently, after a long time, the rabbit meat was roasted and fragrant, Li Qiubai stretched out his hand to poke the rabbit, the next moment he heard Mu Chenyu Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth.
"Why... save me?" His voice was low and hoarse, he should be at the age of voice change, but the low voice is not unpleasant.
Li Qiubai stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire, and said, "Do as you please."
"Charcoal fire, soup and medicine, food... are you doing it as you please?" Mu Chenyu counted in detail, and he rarely uttered such a large paragraph in succession.
The things he said were all the things that Li Qiubai entrusted someone to send him over the past six months, and they were exactly the same. Li Qiubai didn't know that he would put these things on his head, and his tone of affirmation said, It means that he is very sure of what he said.
He raised his eyes, and the fire light shone on his face, making his expression a little warm.
The young man on the opposite side was taciturn, with few expressions on his face, and a pair of deep eyebrows and eyes. When facing him, the purity in his eyes was no less than that of a year ago.
Mu Chenyu's eyes just looked at Li Qiubai so simply and straightforwardly.
And... There are many more, the harshness and difficulties he encountered in the palace, the fact that there are always people who help him in secret in time, and the occasional gazes that he feels - Mu Chenyu's intuition has always been very keen.
Under his straightforward gaze, Li Qiubai was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly, leaning his back against the wall, lowered his eyes to look at the fire, and said softly: "Your Highness, there are some things that are not good for you if you ask them too clearly. .”
Mu Chenyu looked at the young man opposite, he had handsome features, but his face was always sickly, as if no matter what others did, no matter what situation he was in, he was always a gentleman.
Li Qiubai tilted his head and coughed a few times, he closed his eyes, suppressed the itching in his throat, and said, "Your Highness, do you want to sit on the throne?"
If his words were heard by others, they would inevitably make a big fuss. Mu Chenyu tilted his head, remained silent, and did not answer his question.
Li Qiubai didn't care, chuckled again, and asked him if he still wanted to go back now.
He was referring to returning to the place where Mu Chenyu grew up.
Mu Chenyu understood, he looked at the fire in front of him, and said, "Think."
In the end, Li Qiubai did not answer the question he asked him at first.
"Really?" Li Qiubai lowered his head and smiled without continuing.
He smelled the smell of barbecue, his stomach was empty, but he was a little tired, he closed his eyes to rest, and heard Mu Chenyu say again: "Zi Rong, you are a good person."
Li Qiubai opened his eyes, and saw Mu Chenyu's serious expression, it was obvious that what he said to him was very sincere, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Highness, there are no absolutely good people in the world."
"You are." Mu Chenyu said stubbornly.
Li Qiubai suddenly remembered the fact that he was almost strangled to death by Mu Chenyu in the room, and said when he remembered, "Since your highness thinks I am a good person, why did you strangle me in the first place?"
Mu Chenyu: "You lied to me."
"So His Highness wants to kill me?" Li Qiubai asked back.
"Don't call me Your Highness." Mu Chenyu frowned, objecting to his address.
Li Qiubai naturally felt that he was changing the subject, he didn't hold on to it, the sharpness that was shown at that moment disappeared, and he said: "If you don't call him Your Highness, what should you call him?"
Mu Chenyu pursed her lips, and said, "Amber."
Li Qiubai: "..."
He never expected Mu Chenyu to say this answer.
"Your Highness was joking," he said.
"I'm serious." Mu Chenyu had never had such a long conversation with anyone, but apart from being slightly jerky, he spoke very fluently.
Back then, besides remembering Li Qiubai's words, he also remembered the name Li Qiubai gave him. It was the first time he had his own title.
Li Qiubai turned his head, "The meat should be edible."
He changed the subject.
Mu Chenyu's eyes dimmed a little.
Li Qiubai got the rabbit meat and divided it with Mu Chenyu. This rabbit was brought back by Mu Chenyu, so he had more, but Mu Chenyu tore off another rabbit leg and gave it to him. He refused, he gave it to himself, and he continued.
The meat was just taken from the fire, it was still hot, Li Qiubai didn't eat it right away, he blew a few mouthfuls first, after a while, Mu Chenyu said: "I didn't intend to strangle you to death."
Li Qiubai froze for a moment, realizing that he was answering his previous question.
"Yes or no, it doesn't matter," he said.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Chenyu stubbornly wanted to tell him, "At that time, I didn't intend to strangle you to death."
Li Qiubai knew that Mu Chenyu was in a hurry at the time, but he didn't kill him and avoided the injury on his back, otherwise he would have passed away before the palace servants arrived.
"I'm sorry." Mu Chenyu said.
"I lied to you too, it's even."
In fact, Li Qiubai didn't really care about it, as to whether he wanted to strangle himself, no matter what his thoughts were, it was Li Qiubai's intentional guidance.
"It's not fair..." Mu Chenyu lowered his head and said.
Li Qiubai looked at him, but he didn't speak any more.
