Your Majesty, come back

Chapter 41

Chu Xiao decided to take Ah Mi away.

In fact, he has been planning this matter since a long time ago. He is just waiting for the recovery of this body. Not to mention much, it must last at least two days and two nights. He also needs to think about the route and hiding place. Including how to avoid the sight of the two parties, and so on.

It started to rain in the middle of the night, and the pouring rain continued tirelessly until the morning, or maybe noon—because the weather was so bad, he really couldn't tell the time.

Chu Xiao sat a few steps away from the window, closed his eyes and propped his head up to listen to the sound of the heavy rain hitting the ground. The sound of the rain was continuous and regular. Ah Mi was curled up on the straw and fell asleep at this time. The room was too small , He was always afraid of the rain splashing in, so he chose this seat to sit. This body was very weak, and he felt that it was not enough to block even such a trivial wind and rain.

If only you, today is the best day to escape.

In this kind of weather, the search efforts of the soldiers on his side will also have to be weakened. This kind of pretending to be deaf and dumb is simply killing his perseverance. Find a way to leave together, and then find a way to go back.

But if his soul is too mischievous and flies away at the most inappropriate time, then Ah Mi will be frightened and at a loss what to do.

How can this be done, how can we ensure that every step is safe.

The child on the other side of the bed moved a little bit, she opened her eyes amidst all kinds of discomfort, she looked sideways from here, her father was bending his body, sitting on the small bench with his back arched, his head buried in his arms, he didn’t know Whether she was thinking deeply or dozing off, but she knew her father was not asleep, because her father wanted to guard her here, lest the witches and others lead her away.

I don't want to be sent away, let alone leave my father, so I have to endure the pain.

Ah Mi turned around again and fell asleep on her side, pressing the broken arm underneath, she wanted to try this method to relieve the pain.

Chu Xiao noticed the child's unnatural sleeping position. He walked over to have a look. Ah Mi's eyes were tightly closed, his small mouth was pale, and his whole face was wrinkled. Hmm.

Ah Mi couldn't continue pretending to be asleep, Chu Xiao pushed aside her thick curly hair, rubbed warm palms, and covered her face, Ah Mi leaned against Chu Xiao's chest, tremblingly: "Father...my hand hurts." .”

Chu Xiao glanced at the pouring rain outside, and covered Ah Mi's severed arm with his palm. The weather is so bad, the cold air enters the body, and the humidity will make the bones of the whole body crack. Chu Xiao used to have wounds all over his body. , The external injuries caused by swords and the like are okay, but the old internal injuries such as broken bones are very painful. When I was young, I didn’t feel it. After I was in my 30s, the old injuries would hurt according to the situation, without exception.

He was careless and kept thinking about how to escape, not even noticing the pain of his daughter's broken arm.

Chu Xiao decisively wrapped all the objects in the room that could protect him from the rain around Ah Mi, making it airtight. He hugged Ah Mi tightly, and opened the wooden door with one hand. The cold wind and rain hit his face, almost breaking it. The human body, Chu Xiao rushed into the temple in the front yard.

Many refugees gathered here, all around the fire, Chu Xiao squeezed in all the way, the person sitting by the fire to warm up naturally refused to follow, raised his hand and punched, Chu Xiao turned his head slightly, and hid Kailai, kicked the opponent to the ground with skillful force.

At times like this, people who are not as good as others should know the difficulties and retreat, but the one who was kicked to the ground by Chu Xiao was still young, with a high arrogance, and he was not convinced. The punch was random, and Chu Xiao restrained the opponent's wrist without any effort.

In this way, the opponent's wrist can be broken with a slight outward fold.

All the restlessness and uneasiness these days gathered in his hands at this moment, and he was already enduring it, so if it's sensible, don't come here to provoke him.

His face was expressionless, his eyes were as cold as frost, and the rain that rushed all the way had already drenched his whole body, and it continued to spread from his hair to his face, really looking like an evil spirit.

He couldn't hear the sound of begging for mercy, Chu Xiao was as hard-hearted as the stormy weather outside, and slowly increased his strength.

Suddenly, his chest tightened, and he looked down. Under the dim and flickering light, the daughter's face was in pain, with tears glistening, terrified.

For some reason, Chu Xiao let go of the opponent's wrist violently, and the man fled to other corners like hell. Chu Xiao successfully occupied the front position of Lihuo, and suddenly he didn't dare to look at his daughter.

He was worried that Ah Mi would be afraid of him. As parents and elders, who doesn't want to leave a tall and complete image in the hearts of their children? It must be stalwart, tall, and reliable.

I don't want this kind of cruel temperament to let children of this age see that the jungle is the world of adults.

He used fire to burn his palm until it was scorching hot, and then used the heat to stick it on Ah Mi's severed arm. The impact of cold and heat made Ah Mi tremble. After several times, Ah Mi stretched his brows. Drowsy.

Chu Xiao didn't stop, and continued to use fiery hands. Some people around secretly aimed at Ah Mi's broken arm. Chu Xiao couldn't tolerate this kind of curiosity, so he ruthlessly scratched at Ah Mi's broken arm, forcing others not to look at it again.

Chu Xiao didn't notice the cold until Ah Mi was completely asleep. Ah Mi's sleeping face had already calmed down, and he might be dreaming a good dream. Have you ever stayed by his side all night like this?

At that time, he didn’t have to worry about his father having too many sons, his brothers seizing power, his wives and concubines competing for favor, his mother was still peaceful, his brothers were still young, and Ayue didn’t even know where he was.

Chu Xiao kissed the tip of Ah Mi's cold nose, and then the witch who pretended to be husband and wife with him also came and slowly squeezed in. She also looked at Ah Mi quietly, wanting to raise her hand to touch her With curly hair, Chu Xiao didn't raise his eyes, blocked it with his hand, and made a booing motion.

"The head of the family." The witch called Chu Xiao by this name, "Brother said that if the weather is better tomorrow, we will set off."

"Second brother also agreed, what do you think?"

Chu Xiao didn't nod his head and didn't say anything.

The witch winked at one of the attendants over there.

"Boss, you are tired too, let me hug Ah Mi."

----------

Chu Xiao knew what they were paying attention to, so he didn't let go. He lazily raised his eyes and snorted, asking them to hug him. Ah Mi would probably be carried to Yunshen in the next step.

Seeing that Chu Xiao didn't react at all, the witch gently put her hand on Chu Xiao's wrist: "Master, let me do it. You see that you are all wet, so go back to the back room and change your clothes."

After all, he secretly used a force.

The woman's hands were as cold as ice. Chu Xiao thought he couldn't bear the catkins. He shook them off calmly. He probably didn't like the golden rule of accepting or not kissing, otherwise he would have doubted it. Is the witch going to take the opportunity to break the precepts and be unrestrained?

The witch seemed to understand the sneer on Chu Xiao's mouth, and her face froze.

They are in a difficult situation now, and it is not easy to have a conflict in public. Chu Xiao got up and picked up Ah Mi, and followed the witch to a secluded corner.

The witch said deeply: "Your Majesty, the generals discussed with me, and it is not an option for the princess to follow us now."

Chu Xiao didn't interrupt her either.

A layer of red slowly appeared on the witch's usually pale face, and it was unknown whether it was because of guilt or because she was not good at lying.

"General Ji has temporarily found a family for the princess. We can put the princess there first, and then bring the princess back when our situation improves."

Chu Xiao sneered in his heart, the resettlement was a bit too extravagant now, the city was in turmoil, who would accept an outsider of unknown origin, the fate of harboring sinners was not something these ordinary people could afford.

Taking a step back, even if someone is willing to accept it, the situation is changing day by day, and today we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and the promises given now are not worth a penny at all.

Now let’s talk about picking up—when and where?

For such a young child, waiting without a deadline is simply abandonment.

"Your Majesty should focus on the overall situation... the princess's affairs can be put aside for now."

He was not in this game, so he reversed the weight without any psychological burden. It is still difficult for him to protect himself now, and he cannot be responsible for the lives and deaths of these people. The witch thought that Chu Xiao no longer persisted, so she tried again: "Then... the princess's people will come over tomorrow morning, what do you think Your Majesty?"

Chu Xiao nodded with false hesitation. The witch seemed to have foreseen that he would not persevere to the end, so she calmed him down and left quietly.

From the very beginning, Chu Xiao had the idea of ​​their money, goods and food. Generally, people take turns to take care of these things, and the others are responsible for going out to investigate the news. Today, the man who was stationed happened to be an injured person. Chu Xiao secretly picked up a big deal. Both season and energy-saving, he first hid outside the door, picked up a stone and threw it outside, making a noise, the people in the room were about to open the door to peek, but the door was not fully opened, Chu Xiao quickly stuck his foot in the door In the meantime, a palm fell on the opponent's neck.

The man's eyes were wide open, his face was full of horror, before he could yell out anything, he fell limply to the ground. Chu Xiao succeeded in sneak attack, dragged him to the grass where he was, and tied him firmly with a rope.

At the top, he can enter the imperial court to be the emperor, and at the bottom, he can enter the rivers and lakes to be a grassroots bandit——Chu Xiao patted the dust on his hands, and felt admiration from the bottom of his heart for his flexible behavior.

For the time being, money and things are of little use. Chu Xiao picked up a few ingots at random, and finally swept away the light and easy-to-carry food inside without shame. Ah Mi is young, but he has grown up rapidly in these days , She didn't ask the reason for leaving, and lay on Chu Xiao's shoulder without saying a word. Chu Xiao wrapped her tightly, revealing only her unruly curly hair and a pair of big eyes. The small burden swayed with Chu Xiao's movements.

The figures, one big and one small, were gradually swallowed by the mist and rain, getting farther and farther away from the temple, and finally turned into a few meandering rain flowers splashed from the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Chu Xiao didn't know that when he left, there were several people beside the temple, who were disturbed by his departure.

"So, the scope has been determined?"

Commander Ruan Jin was drenched all over. He had just rushed back from the palace, and he couldn't afford to change his clothes and wipe himself, so the dripping water merged into one piece in the ground: "My subordinates have narrowed down the scope to three places, because these The place is crowded with people, and the subordinates thought that they could not immediately startle the snake, so they first monitored them, and then captured them in one fell swoop when they were sure."

Chu Yue closed his eyes and replied, "Commander Ruan can figure it out for himself. It's just a bunch of mobs. Forgive them for not being able to make trouble."

Ruan Jin couldn't help but asked: "My lord thinks that the reason why the emperor is still awake is not because of the witch?"

The cold wind stubbornly poured into the hall, even though Ruan Jin was strong and strong, he shivered abruptly.Chu Yue's brows were tightly frowned, and worries were squeezed between his brows. He held the secret letter from the capital in his hand, and his fingers turned white from the cold.

"If they were really capable, they would have negotiated terms with us a long time ago. This king thinks...the main cause of the emperor's coma is not their witchcraft, but mostly a coincidence, so there is no need to spend too much effort on it."

People must be arrested, but this matter is really not the most urgent matter for them now.The capital was reminded over and over again. What the prime minister meant was that the medical skills in Nanban are very poor, and no matter what, returning to Beijing as soon as possible is the right way, just slow down on the road.

"Three days, wait for another three days."

This is already the deadline for all the senior generals to come out together. Chu Yue was exhausted physically and mentally. He leaned back on the chair, and he couldn't even raise the strength to sigh. He felt very helpless-the enemy they were facing now, It is invisible, but it is actually strangling your throat, and you don't even know its intention and whereabouts.

This is a war with no retreat, a battle against the sky.

Chu Yue thought about how many days the precious medicine that can be used to hang his life is enough, how much is the old parameter sent from the capital, and if he encounters trouble on the road, he can last for a few days, all kinds of things have to be considered Inside, Chu Yue would not allow a little mistake in the middle.

Ruan Jin went to the room next to the hall to change into clean clothes, wiped his face hastily, and when he was about to return to the main meeting hall, a spy came back to report the situation. When Ruan Jin heard about the new situation, he became tired and immediately sent this The news was notified to Chu Yue.

But thinking about this time, Yue Wang must be accompanying the emperor again at this time, brotherly love is deep, it seems that he should not disturb more.And what King Yue said just now is also very reasonable, the whereabouts of the Nanman survivors is not a big deal, wait until they are captured alive before reporting.Ruan Jin thought about it for a while, then backed out from the palace gate.

Holding the sword in his waist, Ruan Jin strode out with great strides, resolute and fearless, just like before every time he went out to fight, he was as high-spirited as before, stepping on the rain vigorously with every step, splashing waves of water, he made a start With a gesture, more than a dozen elites who were ready to go followed immediately, walking in unison and full of energy, just like a group of tigers coming out of the box.

"Prepare your horse, let's go!"
