away from the heart

Chapter 22 The Ice and Snow Begin to Melt 2
At the end of the school field, Chuyue stood tremblingly in front of the archery target, with a pear on her head.A few dozen steps away, Xue Yao was standing still with a bow in his hand.Chuyue has never seen such a scene before, her voice was trembling, and she was already crying: "Xue Yao, you lunatic! Do you want to murder your own wife!"

Seeing that she was terrified, Xue Yao couldn't bear it, but still acted unmoved, took the feather arrow handed over by Bai Liqi, drew the bow and pointed it at Chuyue.Bai Liqi whispered worriedly: "General, the injury on your shoulder... can't be done."

Xue Yao shook his head slightly: "Since the injured assassin can't, I must." He raised his voice, "Ma'am, what do you remember?"

"Xue Yao, you can even take advantage of your own wife just to find out the assassin's meritorious service?!" Chuyue saw that he refused to give in, an inexplicable sense of grievance welled up in her heart, and she simply sat on the ground and cried loudly. Get up, "There is no such thing as you, you married me while I was in a coma, and you didn't treat me sincerely after marrying me, and I'm not a wicked person, just because you act like this..."

Xue Yao threw his bow, strode over, stopped beside her, and didn't know what to say.Chuyue looked up at him, her eyes were red from crying, her cheeks were full of tears, but her eyes were still shining with stubbornness: "I tell you, you can kill if you want, anyway, I don't know anything!"

Suddenly his feet were empty, Xue Yao picked her up and jumped onto the horse.The horse raised its head and neighed, then raised its hooves and rushed out.

"You let me go!" Chuyue was still choking up, struggling desperately.Xue Yao was afraid that she would fall, so he had to stop the horse, but did not let go, raised his hand and pressed lightly on the corner of her eye.

Chuyue slapped his hands away: "What are you doing with your hands and feet!"

His deep voice came from behind: "I hate to see women cry. If your tears have dried up, we will go back."

Chuyue felt annoyed and funny: "You took me out for such a big circle, just for this?"

"It's not all..." Xue Yao paused, "It's also for relaxation."

"Let's relax? I think you are making fun of me!"

"I didn't want to humiliate you. You can ask, even if I was a prisoner of Xizhao in the past, I never insulted you. I didn't want to use you. It was you who were full of nonsense and forced me to use force."

Is he explaining?Chuyue was silent for a moment, and asked him, "Why do you want to find the assassin from that night so much?"

"Because... that's my only clue, and I don't want the villain to go unpunished."

Hearing his sincerity, Chuyue was a little shaken in her heart.Could it be that he is so determined to pursue the assassin's clues, not to make meritorious service in front of his father, but to punish evil and promote good?Thinking that I had indeed promised him, I would never hide it... Chuyue took a deep breath: "I didn't lie to you, I really don't know those assassins. But... I did have a benefactor who saved me that night, so I was able to escape Shengtian. But Father thought he was also an assassin, so I..."

"So you lied to me?"

Chuyue hummed softly: "I haven't told anyone about this matter. Can you not tell Father about this? The benefactor is willing to save a person like me who meets by chance. He must It's not a bad guy, I'm afraid of getting him into trouble..."

Xue Yao smiled, a little helpless, but also a little relieved: "I really didn't see that you are still such a kind person."

"You!" Chuyue turned her head and stared at him angrily.Xue Yao turned her head back: "Okay, I promise you. Hang out with me again, and I won't ask you these things again in the future." After saying that, the horse clipped the horse's belly, and the horse started to run again.

Chuyue was stunned: "Ah? Is this a pass?"

Xue Yao was silent.After a while, I heard him say something in a low voice: "You convinced me."

Perhaps the guillotine is not a bad person... Chuyue let go of her defenses and nestled quietly in his arms.The horse is galloping, the wind is full of hunting in the ears, and the thoughts are left behind a little bit.His hands were tightly wrapped around her waist, and Chuyue's back was pressed against his solid chest, as if he could hear the beating of his heart in his chest, which was rapid and firm.

There was a rumbling horseshoe behind him.Chuyue looked back, her eyes lit up, and she beckoned, "Stars!"

Xing Chen chased after him and kept pace with the two of them.Xue Yao asked: "How did King Shun come here?"

Xingchen gritted his teeth with hatred: "Of course I came to save my sister Huang. I've heard all about it. You have just woken up from a serious illness. Not only are you unable to take care of her, but you even kidnapped her to suffer in such a crappy place!"

"Chuyue is the general's wife, and it is my duty to come here to inspect. But His Royal Highness Prince Shun led people into the barracks, what is his intention?"

"In the past, I only heard that General Xue was invincible on the battlefield, but I didn't expect his words to be very sharp. They are just a few entourages and guards, so why make excuses." Xing Chen retorted, while taking advantage of Xue Yao's unpreparedness, he reached out to grab Chuyue's hand.

Xue Yao didn't move, Chuyue screamed and landed firmly on Xingchen's horse.Xing Chen was stunned, unable to think about it, turned his horse's head and rode away.

Bai Liqi rode up to catch up: "General, let King Shun take Madam away like this? Ah, your injury!"

Xue Yao watched the two men's backs go away steadily, and took off the hands covering their shoulders.The wound opened again, and there was bright red blood on the palm: "Let's bandage the wound first. On her side...you have already asked all the questions you should ask, it doesn't matter."
