Just as Zi Yuan took a step forward, the two swordsmen's expressions tightened, and they flew out like swallows. At the same time, they stretched out their hands to grab him. At the same time, a translucent pill silently cut through the air, heading towards Zi Yuan's chest.
hindbrain.
Shao Kefan's fists clenched suddenly, and something tugged at his heart.
Life and death are only a matter of seconds. To save or not to save...
To others, that pill was lightning fast, but in his eyes, it seemed to be traveling through time that was stretched and slowed down. Taking action was not a problem at all.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but he really couldn't bear to see Ziyuan get killed. Besides...he suddenly thought, what was the other party's purpose?
Yes! Ziyuan was so young and lost his parents. Why would someone deliberately want to kill him? He was entangled in the contradiction between luck and conscience just now, and he had not thought about this most important issue.
The moment the two swordsmen grabbed Ziyuan's arms, the pill was already half an inch away from the back of his head. The cold eyes in the leaves were shining brightly, filled with the joy of success.
There was a sudden pain in his arm, and Zi Yuan knew it was the two maids. He was still staring straight at the door of the courtyard, struggling forward desperately, but to no avail.
"Whoosh."
The soft but sharp sound was like powerful feathers brushing through the air. The translucent pill suddenly changed its direction, turned around, and quickly rushed towards the person on the tree. The person's whole body froze, and his pupils suddenly widened.
Before the excitement could dissipate, the pill passed through the shoulder. After a shrill scream, the body wrapped in black clothes fell from the tree, and the sound of thin branches being broken came from top to bottom.
The ground rang, and the green leaves fell one after another.
The two female swordsmen were startled, let go of Zi Yuan, drew their swords together with a "swish" sound, and moved a few steps in mid-air. One of them threw the sword towards the person who came, and the other raised the sword high, gathered all their strength, and struck in the air.
Down.
As if anticipating the incoming person's whereabouts, he threw the sword at an angle and struck steadily and accurately.
The other sword only made a slashing gesture, and the light that resembled the blade of the sword suddenly increased, roaring down with huge power. The air was squeezed almost out of shape, and leaves shot out from both sides of the big tree, black and white.
The body of the man in clothes gradually appeared, his face faced out of the yard, his head dropped to his chest, and his expression could not be seen.
What surprised the two of them was that he went down without doing anything and let others slaughter him. What happened?
After the action just now, Shao Kefan's body has appeared. With a pull of his hand, the body of the man in black flew towards the big tree in the courtyard. The sword he threw missed. At the same time, the tree with almost all its leaves fell off.
The big tree was split open, and the two halves of the trunk flew quickly to both sides. It took a long time to hear the sound of landing.
The two swordsmen were startled, turned around, and said in unison in surprise, "The King."
The man in black landed heavily at the root of the tree, making a dull sound as his body hit the ground. The man in red clothes was lifted up like a red lotus by the wind, and slowly fell from the tree. Shao Kefan stared at the shoulder with stern eyes.
The expressions in the eyes of the man whose flesh and blood were blurred were changing complexly.
Ziyuan was so frightened by a series of shocking changes that he forgot to cry. He stared dumbly at the position where the tree outside the courtyard disappeared. His eyes slowly turned to the person lying on the ground. He moved his feet, not knowing whether to flee or run away.
Come over here.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" The two swordsmen asked impatiently as they landed.
Shao Kefan stretched out his foot and kicked the person on the ground, "This person wanted to murder Zi Yuan. Fortunately, I showed up in time."
As he spoke, he moved towards Zi Yuan. Only then did Zi Yuan wake up. A trace of fear and hatred flashed in his eyes. He ran over with tears in his eyes and hugged his leg, "Your Majesty, why did he kill Zi Yuan?"
The shoulders of the people on the ground began to rot, emitting a foul smell. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the eyes looking down at him from top to bottom. They were as bright and deep as stars, full of contempt and fierce.
When Zi Yuan saw the change in the man's shoulders, he screamed in fright and hid behind Shao Kefan, but then poked out half of his face and looked at him with one eye in fear, wondering why he looked like this.
Shao Kefan did not answer, but leaned forward slightly, his voice as cold as ice, "Who sent you here? Why do you do this?"
The mission failed. The man's expression was extremely pale, and his lips trembled twice, but he said nothing. Then he closed his eyes, indicating that he would let Lord Cang Teng handle it.
Shao Kefan was about to say, "Do you know Kuxin Prison? I have a way to make you talk." Suddenly he saw a figure in yellow flying from the sky above Jieliu Hall, his posture erratic and unstable, as if he was walking staggeringly, Jian Xin
With a cry and full of anger, he shouted, "Shao Kefan, stop it."
Shao Kefan felt a chill in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jian Xin, then looked at the person on the ground. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. What on earth was going on?
In the blink of an eye, Jian Xin fell to the ground. When she saw Zi Yuan hiding behind Shao Kefan intact, and a half-dead man lying on the ground, she couldn't help being surprised and confused.
The two swordsmen looked at each other strangely, speechless for a moment.
The chaotic noise passed and everything returned to calm, leaving a mystery to be solved. Zi Yuan's eyes widened and he forgot to throw himself into Jian Xin's arms like before.
"Jian Xin, why are you here?" Shao Kefan spoke first.
"I..." Jian Xin's eyes were in a trance, as if he had not yet reacted to the scene in front of him, "Someone sent me a message saying that you want to kill Ziyuan."
"That's a coincidence." Shao Kefan smiled contemptuously, and then he bit his tongue and said carefully, "The person who sent the message to you happened to be lying on the ground. Fortunately, I appeared in time, otherwise Ziyuan would have been lying down. By then, you
You must think that I was the one who killed him. I can’t figure it out.”
Jian Xin and the swordsman suddenly realized that they were blaming others, but why would they do this?
Ziyuan walked up to Jian Xin, raised his little face and looked at her, "Sister, Ziyuan is fine, it was the monarch who protected Ziyuan!"
"Well, yes!" Jian Xin stretched out her hand, stroked Zi Yuan's soft hair lovingly, and wiped his wet eyes. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty towards Shao Kefan. She looked up at him carefully, only to find that he didn't blame him at all.
What she meant was that she just stared at the man lying on the ground, his eyes so fierce that it made her feel a chill in her heart.
"Send him to Kuxin Prison. If he can't ask questions, he will be tortured to death." Shao Kefan ordered lightly. Suddenly thinking of another situation, he frowned and shook his sleeves irritably. If he didn't save people, even if
After executing the man after Ziyuan's accident, Jian Xin was afraid that he would not be able to accept any explanation and might even think that he had killed someone to silence him.
Fortunately... he changed his mind at the last moment, otherwise, he would have been afraid that she would abandon him again, or even draw a sword against him! Although this situation was only hypothetical, his heart still hurt badly.
When the visitor was carried into the air, the useless arm finally completed the last bit of corrosion of the skin and bones, and fell from the air with a "snap" sound. Zi Yuan screamed in fright, and hugged Jian Xin's thigh tightly.
, eyes filled with fear.
Jian Xin squatted down, pressed his head into her arms distressedly, and gently patted his back with her hand, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no one will come to harm Ziyuan in the future."
Shao Kefan stared at the scene in front of him. His tall and straight body remained motionless. His red shirt was swayed by the wind and danced wildly. The few corners of his clothes that were lifted up were like enchanting manjus and sandals, showing off his lonely and arrogant style in the deserted hell.
"Jian Xin, would you rather believe a stranger than me?"
Jian Xin raised her head and looked at him blankly. His eyes were extremely dark, as if there were millions of emotions changing in complex ways, like roving phantoms.
In order to hold Ziyuan conveniently, she almost touched the ground with one knee, but now she seemed to be kneeling to him. The other raised knee maintained the last dignity, and the light yellow clothes were loosely coiled on the ground, like a flower.
The elegant and dewy flowers held her up.
Ziyuan felt that the atmosphere suddenly became cold, forcing him to stop trembling and whimpering. He turned his head and saw two close adults looking at each other quietly. He knew that now was not the time for him to interrupt, so he said nothing sensibly.
hair.
"No." After a long time, Jian Xin finally spoke with difficulty, "I was just too worried about Ziyuan. I heard the secret message and came here without thinking too much."
Shao Kefan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Will there come a day when you leave me without thinking too much, or even kill me?"
"No." Jian Xin hurriedly denied, "In the future, in the future..." But she didn't know what to say next. However, she didn't want him to be so sad, and there was an anxious look on her face.
A soft smile appeared at the corner of Shao Kefan's mouth. He leaned down and took her right arm with his slender hand, slowly lifting her up. "I was just joking. Don't mind it. Look, everything is not going well right now."
Of?"
His voice was so warm and his eyes were so sentimental, but why did she feel distressed after hearing his words?
Jian Xin leaned into his arms, and a happy word suddenly appeared in her mind, "We will get married in four months, Ke Fan."
Ziyuan suddenly forgot his previous unhappiness, and his face showed a mischievous look that a child should have. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands, but raised his head and watched secretly with two slits between his fingers. He looked cute and funny.
"Yes! We are about to get married, and you are finally going to become mine." Shao Kefan was a little emotional, but more importantly, he was happy. He caught a glimpse of the little person peeping out of the corner of his eye, and the love in his heart became deeper. He was glad that he was here
I changed my mind at the last moment.
"Suddenly!" There was a sound of clothes wiping through the air. The two figures landed lightly and steadily. Seeing the scene in the courtyard, they were slightly surprised and then only felt embarrassed. They didn't know whether it was better to report to the monarch or retreat to the palace.
.
Shao Kefan let go of Jian Xin and returned to his usual calm and arrogant tone, "Is it okay?"
"Has been sent to Kuxin Prison."
Shao Kefan nodded, "Have a good time taking care of Ziyuan." His tone was sincere, signaling something, but it didn't sound like he was lying.
The two swordsmen were startled and said, "Yes."
"Go back." Shao Kefan looked at Jian Xin.
Jian Xin gave Zi Yuan a few words, then he took his arm and returned to Qiming Palace.
The location that appeared was beyond her expectation, it was not the study room, but the bedroom.
Shao Kefan hugged her and bit her ear, "How can I make up for misunderstanding me?"
His hand inserted into the gap between her belt and her clothes, and moved along an arc to her lower abdomen. With just a slight pull, the pale pink belt was untied, lying docilely in his palm, with two silk sash hanging down.
It was slightly swayed by the wind blowing in from the carved wooden window.
Jian Xin was still unfinished and stuck out his tongue, "It's up to you~"
Shao Kefan smiled slightly, his eyes gradually became confused, and he wiped his hands back along her smooth shoulders, and the yellow shirt fell off. He untied her undergarment with ease, and after a passionate kiss, he pressed her down on the bed.
.
"Oops!" He exclaimed as soon as Hong Yi was taken off by her frantically.
"What's wrong?" Jian Xin asked doubtfully. He couldn't be thinking of some important state affairs. That would be too disappointing.
"I forgot, this is what you wanted, so..." Shao Kefan smiled evilly, used his hands to hold her body on top of him, and accurately maintained the embedded position, "So, it's up to you,
I enjoy it."
"Oh, you..." Jian Xin scolded with a smile, but her movements did not stop, and became faster and faster. The man beneath her breathed heavily, and occasionally let out an uncontrollable sound of pleasure.
