199 trapped

Late night, a bright moon casts a little light, making the night a little lonely. Obviously, he was running around all night and should have been extremely tired. Unexpectedly, Bai Xijing was not sleepy at all, but became more and more sober.

She is now in Fangguo, in the land where he was born, grew up and loved. Even if she can't meet, she is inexplicably happy when she thinks that they are closer to each other.

Bai Xijing gently put the letter paper on the table and poured herself a cup of tea, but just as she was about to take up the teacup for tea, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the window, causing the whole window to shake. A little cool breeze between the cracks in the window also blew the candlelight in the room bright and dark.

Bai Xijing frowned slightly when he saw this, then stood up with a sigh and whispered, "I forgot to tell Siqin to close the window before retreat." After saying that, she walked to the window and wanted to close the window, but just before her fingers touched the window door, a stronger cold wind hit the window, but the window that was hidden was suddenly blown open and fell on the wall, making a "bang" sound.

Bai Xijing reached out to close the window, but was fascinated by the wind. He couldn't help narrowing his eyes and raising his hand to cover his face with his sleeves. The wild wind poured into the room violently, and the only candle left in the room was quickly blown out, leaving only a little light from the moonlight in the room.

Wating for the wind to stop, Bai Xijing sighed, reached out again to close the window, and then took out the fire fold to rekindle the candlelight in the room. Only at the moment when the candlelight lit, there was a trace of shock on Bai Xijing's bright face, and then it turned white.

The letter she had just put on the table was completely soaked by the water in the teacup blown down by the wind. The handwriting on it slowly melted away, and then there was only a piece of ink left, and no more words could be seen.

Bai Xijing was stunned and threw himself to the table in two steps. He picked up the letter paper that had been soaked in water and didn't care about anything else. He directly wiped the water on the letter paper with his sleeves, but no matter how he wiped it, the melted handwriting would never come back.

"How could... be like this..." Bai Xijing muttered in a low voice, but there was no usual spirit in his voice, and he looked tired and sad.

However, before Bai Xijing could dry the letter paper, the door was pushed away by Siqin with a pale and frightened face: "Princess! No way! Let's go!"

"What's wrong?" Looking at Siqin with a pale face and looming tears in her eyes, Bai Xijing only felt a "cluck" in his heart, and a bad feeling came to his mind again.

Siqin obviously didn't have so much time to explain to her. She hurriedly took Bai Xijing's cloak and tied it up for Bai Xijing. Then she pulled Bai Xijing and walked out of the door and said, "I don't know what's going on. There are suddenly many people outside the inn. Lord Du saw that the situation was wrong and asked me to call the princess.

Bai Xijing frowned slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger: "Do you know the identity of the group of people outside the inn? Is it really for me?"

Siqin shook her head and said, "I don't know, but Lord Du said that everything is good, and..."

Before Siqin finished his words, Bai Xijing saw Du Kang standing under the tree in the backyard of the inn. He was not as calm as usual. He kept frowning, and the sword in his hand was not held in his chest as casually as usual, but had already come out of the sheath. Seeing Bai Xijing and others running over, Du Kang then turned to Bai Xi. Jing took a step in the direction and said, "Princess, it seems that this person is coming for us."

"How do you know?" Bai Xijing was shocked, raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked.

Du Kang looked at the direction of the outer wall. It was very quiet outside and could not hear any sound, as if it was just an ordinary night, but if he felt it carefully, he could find that the outside had already been surrounded by several overlapping hands. He slowly turned around and looked at Bai Xijing and said, "I have just sent more than a dozen people to explore, but no one has sent back the news and no one has come back."

As soon as Du Kang's words fell, Bai Xijing only felt that her throat was a little tight. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only tighten her sleeves uneasily.

"Will it be Chen Jun?" Siqin whispered her idea.

But no one can answer this question.

Bai Xijing knew in his heart that this was the land of Fang, and Chen Jun did not dare to make any tricks. Besides, even if they dared, their movements were a little too fast. However, if it weren't for Chen Jun's words, then only... She knew it, but she forced herself to deny the answer. She didn't dare to think about it. If she didn't think about it, she couldn't doubt him!

She promised that she would trust him no matter what happened, so... stop doubting and stop thinking about it. That won't be true!

"Princess?" Seeing that Bai Xijing's pale face was a little scary, Siqin couldn't help calling.

Bai Xijing took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, stop thinking about this, and solved the current matter first. She followed Du Kang's eyes and looked at the outer wall, but she couldn't see any difference. It was quiet and cold. But because of this kind of quietness, Bai Xijing couldn't help but be a little vigilant.

It's too quiet, and it's a little unusual. There's no sound in the street, and there's not even the sound of the people who beat the update.

Just as Bai Xijing was still paying attention to the outer wall, Siqin suddenly whispered "ah", as if she had seen something surprising. Bai Xijing subconsciously turned around and looked at Siqin's sight. At this, her whole heart was cold, reflecting a fire reflected in her pupils, and her face The color is as pale as white paper.

"How could... that direction, that direction is the direction Fang Guo lent to our warehouse..." Siqin said in surprise. Maybe she noticed that Bai Xijing's look was wrong. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and didn't go on. But even if she didn't say it, Bai Xijing knew what she would say next, "How can the warehouse be well watered? And still at this jup?"

The cold night wind hit Bai Xijing's body. Bai Xijing subconsciously wrapped her cloak, but she couldn't feel the slight temperature. There was a slight pain in her heart, but she could only gritt her teeth to force herself to calm down. Don't think too much. She subconsciously pressed the letter on her chest. The tea on it had not been wiped dry, and it was still cold through her clothes. But I can't cool my heart.

"Princess, it's windy at night, don't catch a cold." When Bai Xijing was still stunned, she suddenly felt that her shoulders were warm. She slightly looked up to Du Kang's burning eyes and a gentle but restrained smile. Du Kang gently put the coat he took off on Bai Xijing. Because Bai Xijing was much smaller than him, his coat could completely wrap Bai Xijing.

Looking at the careful Du Kang tying up his clothes one by one for himself, Bai Xijing thanked in a low voice, "Thank you."

"No, as long as the princess needs it." Du Kang raised his head and nodded to Bai Xi's scenic spot, with a gentle but resolute tone.

Bai Xijing wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by what he was about to say. Princess Qi, everyone has gathered. What are we going to do now?

"Everything is at Du Kang's dispatch." Bai Xijing turned his head to look at Du Kang. When Du Kang heard the words, he nodded to everyone and agreed. Bai Xijing stood beside Du Kang and listened to him arrange everything to everyone. His voice was not high, and he knew who he wanted to tell in detail before others could understand, and he only needed to mention a few words to him.

He has always been by her side. She thought she knew him very well, but now she found that she had not understood him seriously at all. For example, now, he has linked everything in an orderly manner, and has a sense of leisure in his speech, just like that strategist general. Such a talented person just stayed by her side as a small guard. Would he have lived a better life without her?

Bai Xijing couldn't help sighing in his heart.

However, at the moment when Du Kang was explaining the most important thing, he only heard the sound of breaking the air from outside the outer wall. When they looked up, they found that it was a rocket flying into the yard.

Du Kang held Bai Xijing in one hand and quickly retreated to one side with Siqin in the other hand, which could avoid the rain of arrows. However, the rain of arrows fell on the trees, on the roof, on the grass, and was blown by the wind. Suddenly, the whole backyard caught fire, and the blazing flames reflected the dark night as bright as day.

May he felt that it was difficult to act with two people. Du Kang quickly called another guard to protect Siqin, and he protected Bai Xijing and retreated to a place where there was no fire for the time being. Du Kang simply explained a few words with a serious face and said, "Do everything to me!"

"Yes." Everyone took the order and left. Du Kang protected Bai Xijing and walked towards the horseman.

"Princess, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will definitely protect the princess." Du Kang saw that Bai Xijing's face was still a little pale, so he couldn't help lowering his head to comfort him.

Bai Xijing said softly. It's not that he hasn't encountered danger before, but this time he doesn't know what's going on, and he always feels inexplicably panicked and uneasy. The nightmares of these days slowly came to her mind, but she could not remember anything but the emptiness of losing something important.
