Xie Jie obviously didn't expect that she would tell this answer. He was stunned for a while and couldn't help laughing.
"Ahaya, you..."
"What's wrong? Am I right?" Ahaya raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of innocence.
The words are crude but the reasoning is crude. I heard that Daxu has always valued bloodline, and the ancestral hall is where a family's ancestry lies. No matter how crazy Shen San is, he would never think of searching for people in his ancestral graves.
Xie Jie shook his head, seeming helpless.
"How vindictive."
He spoke with a doting tone, stopped, moved his wrist slightly, and put Ahaya down.
After all, he is still the emperor of Daxu. Even if he is confused and infatuated for a moment, his reason will still prevail in the end.
Such as this moment.
At the same moment as he stood, a group of Jinwu guards lined up from the woods, led by Zhou Zhong.
Obviously, those words just now were meant to tease Ahaya, and he brought her out just to avoid random arrows.
"Your Majesty, the 20,000 Shen family rebels and 3,000 Bei Rong cavalry have all been suppressed." Zhou Zhong bowed first and spoke.
Behind him was a bearded general with a pair of particularly conspicuous ears. His serious expression broke for a moment when he saw Ahaya behind Xie Jie, and then he quickly lowered his head and coughed dryly.
"I am the Marquis of Zhenbei, Zhong He. Your rescue is late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Ahaya was stunned for a moment when she heard the name, and subconsciously looked over curiously.
She had an impression of this name.
Zhonghe, the Marquis of Zhenbei, had an extraordinary ear and was said to be able to hear the sound of a bow a hundred paces away. He was one of the confidants who accompanied Xie Jie to conquer the world. The Jiahe Pass he guarded faced Wancheng, and was only a day away. Footsteps.
No wonder Xie Jie was so confident, it turned out that he had been transferred to suppress the Shen family early.
Before she could take a second look, a big hand covered her face, completely blocking her sight, and the man's low and dangerous voice sounded in her ears at the same time.
"very nice?"
"No." Aheya hurriedly regained consciousness, took off Xie Jie's palm, and crooked her eyes in a flattering manner, "You are the most beautiful."
"cough!"
It was the first time Zhong He saw Xie Jie in such a posture. He was so shocked that he coughed repeatedly and almost choked to death on his own saliva.
Zhou Zhong glanced at him and couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. He took a step forward, covered this good-for-nothing, and lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the captured rebels..."
"I will not support sinners." Xie Jie's light words determined the fate of the rebels. "Leave them whole bodies and bury them all."
Buried alive?
Ahaya's eyelids twitched, but she saw Zhou Zhong didn't change his expression and directly agreed.
"Yes. Your Majesty is merciful."
"Shen San, keep it first, okay, okay, close, take care." Xie Jie's lips curled up, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Every word he spoke, his evil spirit was revealed, "I am very curious, those three thousand north Where did the soldiers and cavalry come from?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and looked at Ahaya with deep and obscure eyes: "What do you think? Ahaya."
Ahaya's eyes froze slightly and she frowned slightly.
She had an inexplicable premonition that Xie Jie would still make moves against her.
The timing of her appearance was perfect. She happened to catch up with the raft on which he launched an attack on the Shen family. She happened to come to the rescue and escaped with him. Especially... she happened to meet Teji, who was also from Beirong.
In this deep mountain and old forest, Teji Neng, a secret agent, happened to bump into the two of them. Even she felt that the coincidence was too much.
A soft sword is not enough to quell the emperor's suspicion.
Her premonition was not without purpose.
Only a sharp sound was heard, and a hidden arrow was shot from the forest, pointing straight at Xie Jie.
If she wants Xie Jie's life, she doesn't even need to take action herself, she can just pretend not to know.
"His Majesty!"
Ahaya's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, she jumped forward and caught the arrow with her left shoulder.
It's a pity that what she wants is not Xie Jie's life, but the heart of King Daxu.
When the pain came, Ahaya couldn't help but cursed the suspicious tyrant in her heart, her face turned pale, and her tears fell almost uncontrollably.
It hurts too much.
"Ahya!"
Even though he was the one who planned it, when he actually saw Ahaya being injured, Xie Jie's expression still changed, and his heart felt like he had been stabbed heavily by someone.
He felt a splitting headache. He walked a few steps quickly and picked up Ahaya, who could not stand, into his arms. His hands, which were used to holding swords, were shaking badly.
Blood.
"Come here! Imperial doctor!"
His eyes were almost burning red, and one scene after another of unfamiliar scenes flashed before his eyes, which were blurry and difficult to see clearly, but made him almost breathless.
What does this pretense mean?
Ahaya stared at his expression, but her heart felt cold.
The veneer of intimacy that night was finally torn apart by this arrow.
As sleepiness hit her like a tide, she stopped holding on and slowly closed her eyes.
In the darkness, she seemed to be back in the tyrant's golden cage, surrounded by brocade, but she shed her tears.
"Ahya!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ahaya's consciousness slowly returned.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Liu Nu lying beside her, calling her name in a low voice but anxiously.
"Liu Nu." She curled her lips and smiled weakly, "Why are you so messy? You're so ugly."
"Run me as soon as you wake up." Seeing that she woke up, Liu Nu breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth angrily and stared at her angrily, his voice cold.
"Of course I don't have the heroic looks of a great hero like you."
"The King of Daxu? Rebellion and flight? Block an arrow?"
When she was brought to the government office, she didn't even know what happened!
Liu Nu was afraid that the walls had ears, so he didn't dare to talk about the dispute between the two countries. He just kept telling Ahaya what he had hidden with his fingers. By the end of the count, his face was so gloomy that he could almost shed tears.
"You're a person who would cry for three days if you cut your finger, but you're so cruel!"
Ahaya stared blankly at Liu Nu's angry face, and after a long moment, she rolled her eyes.
"worth."
She is no longer the carefree princess on the grassland, and she no longer has the qualifications to be squeamish.
Only after you die once can you understand what the price is. If she wanted Xie Jie's trust, she would have to pay something.
"Does he need you to save him?" Liu Nu gritted his teeth when he saw her lack of self-reflection, her anger almost uncontrollable.
"No need." Aheya grabbed Liu Nu, pulled her closer, and spoke in a low voice, "I recognized it. There is the Jinwu Guard's logo on that arrow."
"Then you return it!"
"That's why I have to block it." Aheya's pale lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with coolness, interrupting Liu Nu.
If you don't block it, how can you make Xie Jie believe it?
After this time, even if her identity is still unclear and shrouded in fog, Xie Jie can still understand that she has no ill intentions towards him.
The king of Daxu has no shortage of beauties, especially beauties who are pure and obedient.
But a beauty who is almost tailor-made for him and is full of love for him is completely different.
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
Suddenly, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door. Aheya held down Liu Nu's hand, slowly raised her lips, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes.
