Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 37

In the gloomy sky, a few jackdaws passed by and fell on the eaves of the palace, condensing into a few lonely black spots.

Xiao Changning opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw Yu Yunqing’s face pale, blood spraying three feet high from his broken arm, thick and sticky blood splashing on the blue-gray ground, the whole world seemed to be stained with dazzling scarlet. color.

And Shen Xuan stood in the sea of ​​blood on Shishan Mountain, her black cloak stirred, and her back was reflected on the palace wall mottled with blood stains, gazing at all sentient beings.

Yu Yunqing looked at Shen Xuan in embarrassment, her lips were bloodless, her forehead was sweaty, and the fear and pain in her eyes were self-evident. He clutched his broken arm and backed away, rubbing shocking blood on the floor tiles.

There was no trace of pity in Shen Xuan’s eyes, and she only approached the crawling Yu Yunqing step by step. I don’t know how many people he has killed. The thin knife in his hand even has countless small mouths, but it is still cold and sharp, just like his murderous eyes.

“Do not……”

Yu Yunqing was shivering, and only had time to say a word, and Shen Xuan had already stabbed her with a knife! The blade pierced Yu Yunqing’s left shoulder, came out from the back shoulder, and the blade plunged three inches into the ground, nailing him to the ground alive.

Yu Yunqing let out a scream, then closed his eyes, and fainted from the pain, only the slightly undulating chest showed that he still had the last breath to hang.

This is the first time Xiao Changning has seen Shen Xuan murder with his own eyes. He is tough and fierce, making people tremble with his hair.

Disgusting blood was in the air. Trembling, she threw her sword away, retreated behind Shen Xuan, and forced herself to look away, not looking at the floor with broken arms and limbs.

After solving the old party of Yu Yunqing’s remnant party, the next step is Liang Yourong.

Liang Yourong was seriously injured, the blood from the wound on his shoulder never stopped, and it was stained with bandages. She was so weak that the hands holding the sword trembled slightly, but she still straightened her body, biting her lip and lifting the sword, in a defensive posture.

Knowing that it was moths fighting the fire, and knowing that she was hitting rocks with pebbles, she did not shrink back, forcing herself to show the last dignity of a female swordsman.

Shen Xuan drew out another sabre around her waist, and the moment she drew it, the cold light refracted by the blade hurt Liang Yourong’s eyes. She endured the severe pain and lifted the sword to block, but heard a crisp sound, and the long sword in her hand was severed by Shen Xuan and cracked into pieces of iron.

Liang Yourong snorted, stepped back and stood firmly, half of his arm was numb with Chen Xuan’s knife, the wound opened, and the blood was flowing.

The strength of this East Factory Eunuch almost crushed her existence!

“The empress empress dared to claim to be a master if she can catch Lin Huan’s two tricks. But you probably don’t know Lin Huan’s sword technique…” Shen Xuan paused, raising her eyes and saying coldly, “This superintendent taught her hand by hand. “

Liang Yourong’s pupils shrank.

Lin Huan alone caused her to suffer. If Lin Huan’s moves were really taught by Shen Xuan, then the terrible degree of this man is simply unimaginable… She can’t be an opponent!

She studied hard for more than ten years and was full of ambitions, but she eventually became a frog at the bottom of a well, a chess piece that was instructed to use it, and she was looking for it to the point where she is today.

Liang Yourong held the broken remnant sword, slowly closed his eyes, and said weakly: “If you want to kill, you have to pluck it, listen and respect it.”

The cold wind howled, but the light of the sword did not arrive.

“Death is a simple matter. The queen wants to beg for benevolence and benevolence, but this governor is not as you wish.” Shen Xie sneered, lifted the back of her hand to wipe the blood stains on her jaw, and spit out a word, “Go away.”

Liang Yourong opened his eyes, and the surprise in his eyes flashed by. She pursed her pale lips, and said for a long time: “Why?”

Xiao Changning watched coldly for so long, and finally couldn’t help it, and asked, “Doesn’t the queen understand? You know, why did the queen dowager start the war between factory guards on the day you became the queen?”

Liang Yourong said calmly: “In order to wipe out the traitors and help justice.”

“False. She was prepared to sacrifice you a long time ago, which means that from the beginning, she never thought of letting you survive this civil strife.”

Xiao Changning looked at this girl who was two years younger than himself, with a look of compassion on her face, both lamenting her misfortune, but also angering her, and said with a dumb voice, “If you can help Jin Yiwei destroy the Dongchang factory, treat the Queen Mother. Naturally, everyone is happy. But now that Dongchang has the upper hand, she lets you take the risk alone, to kidnap me, who is vital to Dongchang. Why don’t you let you die? If I am true Being kidnapped by you, Dongchang killed you in a rage, and then the crime of Shen Xuan’s conspiracy to assassinate the queen was confirmed. The queen mother has sufficient reasons to mobilize military power to quell the chaos and turn this civil strife into complete imperial power. Controversy…”

Hearing this, Liang Yourong’s forced composure finally fell apart, and his eyes fell for a moment.

Xiao Changning took a deep breath and said with a clear look: “That is to say, the death of the queen is the key to the queen dowager’s victory… This is what you mean to be a queen today: one is used and pushed by the blood. Poor worm who died but still didn’t know it.”

Shen Yun nodded and said, “Not bad at all. It seems that the queen is not as smart as her Royal Highness.”

Xiao Changning was caught off guard to be praised, a blush finally appeared on his pale face, and he turned his head and coughed embarrassedly.

Liang Yourong didn’t speak, her tight jaw trembled slightly, and a faint light of water appeared in her eyes. He had obviously figured out everything, but stubbornly did not let the tears fall.

She said, “I always thought we were right…”

The words were only halfway, and the voice was choked. She quickly stopped talking, biting her bloodless lips, as if she hadn’t lost as long as the tears didn’t fall.

Xiao Changning has always repaid gratitude and revenge. No matter what, when Yu Yunqing held her hostage, Liang Yourong really thought about helping herself, so she was able to recognize the ugly face of Empress Dowager Liang’s greed and greed for this kind of grace.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changning softened her voice and said, “The emperor is still in the hands of the queen mother. If the queen wakes up, she will return to the palace to protect the emperor.”

Liang Yourong glanced at her, her eyes a little hollow.

She turned and walked towards the horse, staggering slightly, and struggling several times before climbing on the horse’s back. Obviously, when she first arrived in the palace a month ago, she was so calm and high-spirited, but now she is all devastated and embarrassed.

Liang Yourong rode his horse towards the palace gate, and his thin body became a small spot in the distance, disappearing at the corner of the palace road.

Shen Xuan returned the knife to its sheath, turned around to look at Xiao Changning, her solemn gaze softened a little, mixed with a little bit of affection that she could not see through, and whispered: “Your Highness…”

Without a word, Xiao Changning suddenly stepped forward and hugged Shen Xuan’s neck tightly, burying his face in his chest, which was mixed with gunpowder smoke and blood, his figure shivering like fallen leaves in the wind.

That’s a kind of fear after the disaster.

Shen Xuan looked at the soft body in her arms and felt her trembling arms tightly wrapped around her, like a drowning man holding a life-saving driftwood.

She needs him. After realizing this, Shen Xuan slowly condensed her hostility, with her hands hanging on her side, allowing her to cling to her neck, and even the curvature of her mouth became soft.

“Thank you, Shen Xuan.” Xiao Changning buried him in his arms, muttering, “My palace has two chances to kill Yu Yunqing. I followed the tricks you taught, but I didn’t succeed.”

She seemed to be crying, her voice intermittently, and there was a clear choking.

“Sorry. You said my palace was useless before, but my palace is still unconvinced. Now it seems…”

“You are very brave.” Shen Xuan interrupted her self-blame, lowered her voice and said seriously, “especially the last move, if it weren’t for your Royal Highness to break free from Yu Yunqing’s restraint, I wouldn’t have a chance to do it.”

Xiao Changning didn’t speak, only hugged him tighter.

“What’s more, if it hadn’t been for your Royal Highness to remind me that day, Jin Yiwei might take advantage of the emptiness of Taimiao’s sacrifice to the east factory, and I would not have thought of a way to do the trick and leave them an empty house, so that Jin Yiwei would relax his guard and let him Wu Youfu’s team has the opportunity to sneak into the town Fusi to ambush.”

“Really?”

Xiao Changning raised his wet red eyes, glanced at his arms hanging beside him, and asked carefully: “Then…can you hug this palace?”

Shen Xuan was slightly startled.

Xiao Changning has always been reserved and introverted. Unexpectedly, under this situation, she would stand beside the pile of blood and express her inner desires so bluntly. Shen Xuan’s eyes deepened, almost subconsciously raising her arms, but she was frozen in the air again, seeming to hesitate.

Xiao Changning’s eyes darkened, his black hair hanging down on his temples, trembling in the wind. She pleaded: “Just for a while… Admiral Shen hugs the palace, and the palace is not afraid of anything.”

Shen Xuan smiled, eyes as deep as a deep pool, and explained in a low voice: “The minister’s hands are full of blood, for fear of staining your Highness.”

He was actually worrying about this, Xiao Changning breathed a sigh of relief.

He is notorious, he is cold and ruthless, but left the only temperature on the apex of his heart to himself. If Xiao Changning is not moved, it is naturally false.

Xiao Changning released his hand and took out the soft handkerchief that one party was carrying from his arms. Then he pulled up Shenxuan’s wide and slender palm, unwrapped the cloth strips wrapped around his palm, and wiped off the sticky blood in his hand. , Gentle and meticulous.

Shen Xuan’s fingers are slender, the joints are prominent, the palms are cocooned, and the green veins on the back of the hands are slightly raised. They are beautiful and powerful hands. After wiping, Xiao Changning threw the red-dyed veil on the ground, then raised his sleeve to wipe the blood splashing on his face, and then whispered: “It’s clean now…”

Before she finished her words, she was energetically pulled into her arms by Shen Xuan, and she was tightly imprisoned.

His embrace is as strong as ever, but very reassuring. The two stared silently for a moment, Shen Xuan cupped her cheek with one hand, leaned over and kissed her.

First, the tasting of the lips, and then the teasing of the tongue. The kiss was long and warm, fierce and lingering. When she was in love, Shen Xuan simply hugged her with one hand, pressed her against the blood-stained palace wall, and robbed her of her sanity wantonly.

Xiao Changning felt that she was about to be swallowed by Shen Xuansheng, passively bearing his arrogant and gentle request, but this time, she no longer resisted or refused.

The meager setting sun hung in the clouds. The day passed away quietly in the thrilling fight. Only the two kissed affectionately in the palace road where the war was first retired, swearing by the blade, drawing plums with blood, and frozen into a magnificent silhouette.

After the two kissed for a long time, Xiao Changning’s lips became gorgeous red, with moist water, and there was even a trace of water dripping from the corner of his mouth, which was wiped off by Shen Xuan with her thumb.

Shen Xuan looked at her deeply, her voice was extremely dull, and asked, “Can I still walk?”

Xiao Changning blushed, with peach colored eyes, and nodded lightly.

Shen Xuan’s eyes seemed to contain a storm, she took extremely deep breaths, tried her best to endure the restlessness in her heart, and said in a deep voice, “Sorry, I can’t accompany you yet.”

He kissed the corner of her mouth again, and said, “First send you to Fusi in Beizhen, Yueyao. At the latest tomorrow, when everything is over, the minister will come and pick your Highness home.”
