The first thousand eight hundred and forty-six chapters
"Then have you ever been to the Western Kingdom?" Yu Yunxuan asked again.
Xiao Yunchen shook his head: "No. The relationship between Xiguo and Dongchen has always been tense, so it is inconvenient for me to go."
Yu Yunxuan thought the same thing. In the past few years, there had been wars on the border between the two countries from time to time. Naturally, it would be best not to go. She suddenly felt envious of Xiao Yunchen, who could travel through so many places by herself, without any restraints or restrictions.
Worry, how wonderful!
It didn't take long for Yu Yunxuan to finish the bowl of noodles. Xiao Yunchen asked with satisfaction: "Is it really so delicious?"
"Yes, it's delicious." Yu Yunxuan nodded.
"Then every year on your birthday from now on, I will make longevity noodles for you to eat. How about that?"
Yu Yunxuan heard her heart beating "dong dong dong" very loudly. What did he say just now? Did she hear it wrong?
She didn't dare to look up at Xiao Yunchen, so she had to grab her sleeves and look straight at the table. From now on, she would make longevity noodles for her every year. Does that mean...
A series of complex feelings such as joy, worry, guilt, etc. flooded into her heart, making her feel breathless for a moment. She opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out.
After a while, Xiao Yunchen's laughter was heard: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously. Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you back."
When the two of them came out of the villa, it was already dark. There were not many people on the street. They were all people rushing home. The cold wind whistled in their ears. Yu Yunxuan retracted her head into the thick fox fur.
Inside, I tightened my clothes, but I still felt cold.
The two sentences Xiao Yunchen said when she was in the other hospital kept popping up in her mind, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. She had been plotting against Xiao Yunchen from the beginning, how could Xiao Yunchen not know?
Perhaps, he was also scheming against her. How could she still hope that there would be true love between them?
The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, just walking leisurely. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there were several "bang" sounds in the sky, and colorful lights illuminated the dark night.
Yu Yunxuan looked up and saw that the bright fireworks were blooming, which was extremely beautiful. She and Xiao Yunchen both stopped and looked up at the beautiful scenery.
"It's so beautiful!" Yu Yunxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yunchen looked sideways, and under the light of the fireworks, her white figure looked even more dusty.
Yu Yunxuan was thinking in her heart that this should be the happiest but also the most unhappy birthday for her. It would be great if time could stay at this moment forever, if she could just go with the flow without having to think about other things.
Just for that.
It's a pity that things in the world often don't go according to people's wishes. The fireworks soon burn out, the night sky turns dark, the night returns to tranquility, and the two people in this world will eventually go their separate ways.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the post house." Xiao Yunchen took the first step, and Yu Yunxuan followed reluctantly.
After going around a few corners, we came to a wider street. The bright moon was shining in the sky, casting a silvery glow on the land, casting a hazy veil on the land. Yu Yunxuan followed Xiao Yunchen closely, but suddenly he stopped.
She almost hit him.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yunchen said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, something's wrong, it's too quiet."
Yu Yunxuan didn't understand what he meant. It was late, it was such a cold day, there was no one, and it was normal to be quiet.
Just when she raised her head and looked forward, she saw several black shadows suddenly flashing on the roof, holding long swords that emitted cold light in their hands, which looked particularly eerie under the moonlight.
Yu Yunxuan had never seen such a huge formation before, so she subconsciously trembled and hid behind Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunchen noticed her fear, stretched out his hands to protect her behind him, and said in a deep voice to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
Yu Yunxuan didn't think so, and said worriedly: "There are more than a dozen of them, how can you and I be their opponents?" She thought to herself, is the target of these men in black her or Xiao Yunchen?
Xiao Yunchen was also thinking about this question, and then he showed a slight smile and asked loudly: "Who is the friend on the roof? Tell me your name!"
One of the men in black said coldly: "You don't need to know who we are, as long as you know that today is your death day."
"So, you are here for me?" Xiao Yunchen remained calm and composed, with a smile on his face, "The girl next to me has nothing to do with me. I really don't deserve to be involved, so why not let her go first?"
Leave and I, the king, will fight to the death with you again?"
Yu Yunxuan was about to say not to leave, but she heard the man in black snort coldly: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, just suffer death!"
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen black shadows flew down from the roof like ghosts, pointing swords at Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunchen pushed Yu Yunxuan away, quickly drew out the soft sword from his waist, and started fighting with the men in black.
Although Yu Yunxuan knew some martial arts, she was just showing off in front of these people. She knew that if she had to get involved, not only would she not be able to help Xiao Yunchen, but she would also become a burden and harm him, so she took the initiative to retreat to
Watching the battle from a corner.
"Your Majesty, they are powerful in numbers, so you must be careful!"
While Xiao Yunchen was fighting with the enemy, he said easily: "Don't worry, I don't need to take these individuals seriously yet. Just wait for now. I'll send you back after I deal with these rats that are blocking your way!"
Having said that, Xiao Yunchen only has one person after all, but there are twelve opponents. As the saying goes, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. No matter how good his martial arts is, there will always be a time when his physical strength is exhausted.
After about a stick of incense had passed, Xiao Yunchen felt that continuing like this was not an option. He had to fight quickly and defeat a few of them first, create a breakthrough, and then seize the opportunity to escape.
Watching from the sidelines, he was terrified, but he didn't dare to speak to distract Xiao Yunchen, so he could only cheer for him silently from the bottom of his heart.
There were three men in black left. Xiao Yunchen was trying his best to deal with them, but he didn't notice that a man in black behind him suddenly regained consciousness, got up, and stabbed him in the back with a sword.
"My lord, be careful!" Yu Yunxuan was shocked, and immediately rushed over without thinking, blocking the sword's edge with her own body.
Xiao Yunchen turned around as quickly as possible, but was still a step too late. The man in black's sword had already pierced Yu Yunxuan's shoulder, and bright red blood immediately flowed out, dyeing the white dress red.
Although it hurt, luckily it was not a vital part and it was not fatal. Yu Yunxuan gritted her teeth and reluctantly kicked the man in black away. She staggered back two steps, her body was shaky and she was about to fall down.
Xiao Yunchen freed up one hand to hold her waist while fighting with the only remaining man in black.
"Princess, how are you?"
"I'm not in the way..." Yu Yunxuan's voice trembled due to pain.
Xiao Yunchen had never hurt anyone, especially a woman, in this way. At that moment, he felt guilty and angry. The fire of anger rushed to his forehead, and he stabbed the man in black with his sword with all his strength.
