In the night breeze, his clothes were fluttering. Even if Lu Zhiyao didn't raise his head to look, he could still imagine how elegant he looked now.
Nangong Nuo'er got up from the ground, forgetting to even get angry. Looking at Lin Yinan's calm face over there, she gritted her teeth and strode to Lin Yixiang's side.
"Are you injured?" Lin Yinan lowered his head to look at the person in his arms. The soft voice made Lu Zhiyao's heart tremble slightly. She was not someone who would shed tears easily, but now she felt that she could stand in front of this person.
Maybe it's not a bad thing to cry around.
"I'm fine." Lu Zhiyao raised his head slightly and met his eyes, "Don't worry."
Lu Zhiyao's answer made Lin Yinan turn his attention back to Nangong Lingfeng and others.
"It's just that I came back a few days late. My wife is really taken care of by some good people."
Lin Yinan looked at Nangong Lingfeng and the others with the corner of his mouth slightly raised. His low and elegant voice made it difficult to hear his emotions, but the cold light flashing from his eyes clearly conveyed his anger at the moment.
Nangong Lingfeng and the other three were stunned on the spot, not only because of Lin Yinan who shouldn't be here at this time, but also because of his speed that was as fast as lightning just now, so that they could not recover.
"There are so many young soldiers over there that you didn't kill, but you picked my men. General Nangong, should you give me an explanation? Or is what I saw just what you want to do?"
Lin Yinan's inquiry made Nangong Lingfeng a little nervous. He had never felt that Lin Yinan was so difficult to deal with like now. He had been on the battlefield for so many years and faced countless enemies. What kind of people could he kill?
Nangong Lingfeng knew very well that people were invincible to him. And Lin Yinan, who was standing in front of him now, was obviously the second type of person. Although Nangong Lingfeng was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that this was a fact.
Lin Yinan's eyes swept over the faces of Nangong Lingfeng and the others one by one, and her body was pulled hard by Lu Zhiyao. She didn't want him to fight with them at this time.
Lin Yinan lowered his head to look at Lu Zhiyao, his brows furrowed slightly, but it was slowly relieved by Lu Zhiyao's actions. Lu Zhiyao took Lin Yinan's hand, his smiling eyes flashing with brilliance.
"let's go."
She spoke in a low voice, holding Lin Yinan's hand and trying to leave. Lin Yinan knew that she was thinking about so many Qing soldiers, but how could she just get over it like this?
"Tomorrow, I will wait for you at my house."
After Lin Yinan left a word, he left side by side with Lu Zhiyao. Nangong Nuoer had just been knocked to the ground by Lin Yinan, but he had long forgotten to say anything or fight back. The murderous aura in his body was like a violent storm, which made Nangong Nuoer
She felt fear. She was sure that if she had continued to attack Lu Zhiyao just now, he would definitely kill her, and he would definitely...
"What the hell is going on?!" After being stunned for a long time, Nangong Nuoer turned her anger on Lin Yixiang. "A sick man has such good skills, did you come with him to deceive us?"
Lin Yixiang was also shocked by Lin Yinan's sudden attack. He glanced at the faces of Nangong Nuo'er and Nangong Lingfeng. Without saying a word, Lin Yixiang turned around and walked towards the killing field where the melee was still going on.
.
The reappearance of Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao was undoubtedly like a reassurance for Bai Lixuan and others. The green soldiers who fell one by one, their blood dyed the soil on the ground red, finally gathered together.
After controlling the number of green soldiers, he no longer harmed their lives, but chose to capture them alive. A few hours passed in such a busy and thrilling manner, and by the time all the green soldiers were subdued, the night was already deep.
Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan back to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. Although Lin Yinan deliberately concealed it, Lu Zhiyao could still see the fatigue on his body.
"You came back overnight?" Lu Zhiyao asked softly, "How is it over there at the border?"
"I thought you would want to say something else when you saw me." Lin Yinan was slightly disappointed and sighed. He leaned back on the chair and looked at Lu Zhiyao intently. He no longer looked as murderous as before.
.
Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth hesitantly, then lowered his eyes and whispered: "You are tired, it's time to rest."
Lin Yinan stood up and stretched out his long arms, pulling Lu Zhiyao to his side. He smoothly put down her long hair, and Lin Yinan's fingertips brushed Lu Zhiyao's cheek intentionally or unintentionally, making Lu Zhiyao's body a little stiff.
.
"It's really time to rest."
His burning eyes made Lu Zhiyao dare not look directly at him. He suddenly remembered the injuries on his body, which had not fully recovered. Lu Zhiyao took a breath and pushed Lin Yinan away.
The last thing she wanted him to see was how embarrassed she was.
Lin Yinan saw something was wrong with Lu Zhiyao, thought for a while, and said nothing. After Lu Zhiyao finished tidying up, he leaned on the bedside, tilted his head and looked at her, waiting for her to come over.
"It won't take you an hour to take off your clothes, right?" Lin Yinan asked teasingly.
Lu Zhiyao blushed, glared at him and turned off the light. In the darkness, Lu Zhiyao slowly took off her clothes. When Lin Yinan asked, "What's wrong?", she shook her head and said.
: "Don't ask anything."
Lin Yinan was silent for a moment, then replied "Okay" and held her in his arms, feeling the warmth coming from her body. His heart, which had been empty for so many days, was suddenly filled.
"Why did you come back? I thought you were going to Qingming Kingdom." Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice, with warmth welling up in his heart. If it weren't for him tonight, he would never be safe and sound.
Lin Mubai's words appeared in Lu Zhiyao's mind from time to time. He said that she was just a little monster making trouble behind Lin Yinan. Without Lin Yinan, anyone could kill her.
Those words greatly stimulated Lu Zhiyao, and they were one of the reasons why she had been practicing martial arts with Lin Mubai for so many days. She didn't want to just stand behind him forever.
"I went and came back." Lin Yinan briefly told Lu Zhiyao about the situation at the border. In the past few days, the Qingming Kingdom has been sending small groups of troops to try to cross the border and invade the Xia Lai Kingdom's territory. Nangong Jing, as Nangong Lingfeng,
His uncle was guarding there instead of Nangong Lingfeng. He was not as fierce as Nangong Lingfeng, nor as cunning as Nangong Qingyun, so those days really made Lin Yinan a little worried.
From the day he knew Qing Bing had arrived in the capital, Lin Yinan never thought about coming back to rescue him. Firstly, it was because it was too far, and secondly, because a mere two thousand people were not enough to bring him back. He also believed that she had a way to stop him.
.
But a letter from Lan Ruoling made Lin Yinan change his mind. He left all important matters to Mo Tianshu, Ling Yi and others. Lin Yinan was very afraid. Lu Zhiyao was facing his former enemy Nangong Lingfeng.
When waiting for others, you will lose your mind due to anger and hurt yourself.
But now, he is glad that he is really back.
"Go to sleep, there are still things to deal with tomorrow." A gentle kiss fell on Lu Zhiyao's brow, and Lin Yinan's voice made the extremely tired Lu Zhiyao fall asleep quickly.
It had been a long time since he had slept so soundly, and Lu Zhiyao had forgotten to wake up before Lin Yinan and put on clothes to cover the scars on her body.
In the early morning, Lin Yinan opened his eyes. When he saw the small scars on Lu Zhiyao's body, he was immediately stunned. Then he frowned tightly and finally understood the reason why she refused to let him look at her last night.
Lin Yinan slowly loosened his clenched fists, raised his hand and tapped Lu Zhiyao's dark hole, put on his clothes and walked out of the room alone, looking at the empty yard, but he could not calm the restlessness in his heart.
Lu Zhiyao slept until the sun was shining brightly. He sat up in a daze and hugged his body after realizing that Lin Yinan had disappeared.
Did you dream last night? He didn't actually come back?
Lu Zhiyao rubbed his hair in confusion, then lay down again and looked at the roof in confusion. His sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide, Lu Zhiyao jumped up quickly and hurriedly found some clean clothes to put on.
Ran out of the room to find Lin Yinan.
After seeing Lan Ruoling, Lu Zhiyao realized how long he had slept for. "Where is Lin Yinan? Have you seen him?"
"The Eighth Prince is in the front hall, but Madam, please don't go there." Lan Ruoling looked at Lu Zhiyao with a solemn expression and said softly: "Prince Luo and Princess Luo are also there."
Lan Ruoling was right, Lu Zhiyao shouldn't have appeared there at this time to make things more chaotic, but just because she wasn't aboveboard, it didn't mean she couldn't eavesdrop.
Lu Zhiyao sent Lan Ruoling away perfunctorily, and then ran towards the front hall. He took every step lightly, and finally jumped up and arrived at the place. Lu Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself
This series of actions is extremely satisfying.
The people in the room seemed to have been having a conversation for a while. Lu Zhiyao tried hard to listen to their words, but felt that the air around him slowly solidified and time seemed to have stopped.
"I thought General Nangong would come in person, but I didn't expect that Prince Luo and Princess Luo would come to make this trip." Lin Yinan took a sip of tea casually and talked to Lin Yixiang calmly as usual. "Tell me, yesterday
I really want to know the reason why Wan He Zhiyao took action."
Lin Yinan's attitude made Nangong Nuoer a little annoyed. He was the prince and Lin Yixiang was the prince. It was obvious who had a higher status and who had a lower status. Why did he speak to them like this?
"The Eighth Prince should pay attention to his attitude, right? You are still just a prince after all." Nangong Nuoer couldn't help but speak, and spoke sharply to Lin Yinan.
"Oh? Really?" Lin Yinan smiled lightly and accepted Nangong Nuo'er's words without being annoyed or angry. "What about you? Today I call you Princess Luo, and you will be a princess. But someday, if there are two princesses,
If I remove this word for you, what will you still be?"
Such words could come out of Lin Yinan's mouth. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, no one would believe it. This also made Lin Yixiang understand that this time, they really made Lin Yinan angry.
"You..." When had Nangong Nuo'er ever been so insulted with words? She tried very hard to suppress the anger in her heart, but the look on her face still revealed her thoughts.
"When it comes to court matters, it's never your turn as a woman to come and tell me, get out."
The tone of Lin Yinan's words reminded Lin Yixiang of something he once said. He said that Lu Zhiyao would be his only reason for starting a war. Now, Lin Yixiang has no doubt about the authenticity of his words.
