Chapter 438 Can't Sleep
He took a sip, the bitterness of the tea spreading in his mouth, but he didn't seem to care at all. Then, he drank the rest of the tea in the cup and put it down with a crisp sound.
"Well, this is the third brother's style of doing things," Keremu narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This hour is often when people sleep the deepest. I'm afraid that the Seven Star Pavilion has come out in full force this time!" His voice was low and powerful, as if he had already anticipated all this.
He stood up and slowly walked to the door, looking at the dark night outside, his eyes revealing a hint of firmness and determination. In this seemingly peaceful palace, a thrilling battle is about to begin.
Bai Xi looked at his back with a respectful look on his face, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "I have quickly asked people to wake up all the guards in the palace. Prepare for the battle. At the same time, I have also made some defenses in various places in the palace."
Keremu nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his deep eyes, and he slowly said: "Well, tonight is destined to be a fierce battle. This dark night is like an invisible big net, who knows how many conspiracies and tricks are hidden."
He sneered: "But my good third brother may not know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! He thought that he had carefully planned and could take my life in the dark, but he didn't know that there might be other people behind him who were also thinking the same thing and trying to reap the benefits."
Bai Xi's heart trembled. He knew very well that it was not only King Cheng who wanted to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In this palace, various forces were undercurrents, and there were many people who coveted the position of the Crown Prince. It was very likely that tonight was a conspiracy of various forces joining forces.
So he said anxiously: "Your Highness, the situation is critical now. Let me put on your clothes and pretend to be you to stay here to deal with the assassins. If you leave from the backyard now, they should not have time to surround this place. As long as Your Highness can leave safely, their conspiracy will not succeed."
Keremu chuckled and shook his head, his eyes revealing a kind of firmness and determination. He stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a calm but unquestionable voice: "Since they are all coming for me, how can they let me leave so easily! They must have arranged people at every exit of this palace, waiting for me to fall into their trap. So I will wait for them here to see how capable they are!"
After hearing the prince's words, Bai Xi's body shuddered instantly, and he lowered his head immediately, his eyes full of determination and firmness. He clenched his fists tightly, his joints slightly whitening from the force, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was suppressing the surging loyalty and passion in his heart.
Then, he said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "I will protect your Highness's safety at all costs! Even if I have to risk my own life, I will protect your Highness!"
Keremu looked at Baixi's resolute appearance, couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his hand, and gently patted Baixi's shoulder. His eyes revealed a kind of open-mindedness and calmness, as if he had already looked down upon the matter of life and death.
He slowly said, "Don't worry so much. Everything in this world has its destiny. If it is God's will that I die here today, then it is my fate. This is God's arrangement. Why should I resist? But if I am not destined to die today, even if he becomes king and sends out a million soldiers, he still can't do anything to me!"
Bayer was lying on the back of the fast-running horse at this time. The hard saddle kept poking her body. Every bump was like a sharp knife stabbing her body, making her so uncomfortable that she almost collapsed.
Her hands tightly grasped the horse's mane, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to her back. But when she thought of the Crown Prince's current dangerous situation, where he could encounter an accident at any time, a strong power surged in her heart.
She clenched her teeth, her lips were bitten to a bloody mark, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she didn't care. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, that is, she must pass on the news as soon as possible to fight for the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In this way, she struggled to hold on to the horse until she felt that the surrounding environment was gradually becoming safer. The scenery on both sides of the road no longer looked full of danger, and when she looked back, there was no trace of pursuers behind her.
At this time, she slowly sat up, feeling that all the bones in her body seemed to be broken and extremely sore. But she didn't care about that, she held the reins firmly with both hands and squeezed the horse's belly with her legs. The horse seemed to sense her urgency, neighed, spread its four hooves, and ran towards the city gate with all its might.
The horse's hooves raised clouds of dust, leaving a long trail behind them, and Bayer's eyes became more and more determined.
At this time, the atmosphere at the city gate was quiet and solemn. The heavy city gate shone with a cold metallic luster under the fading moonlight. Mo Ming was wearing a shiny armor, and every step he took was steady and powerful. He stepped onto the city wall with firm steps. The patterns on the armor flashed with strange light in the morning light, as if telling the glorious years of the past.
A soldier was standing on the city wall bored, his eyes casually scanning the front. When he saw Mo Ming's figure, his eyes widened instantly, his face full of surprise, and he hurriedly said: "Hey, Captain Mo, why are you here so early today? There are still two hours before you hand over your shift?" His tone was full of surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.
Mo Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, and he chuckled, that smile was somewhat free and uninhibited. He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "Oh, I don't know why I couldn't sleep today, so I came to see you early!" His voice was low and magnetic, as if it carried an invisible power.
Another soldier heard Mo Ming's words, but curled his lips in disapproval, with a playful smile on his face. He deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "Captain Mo is not unable to sleep, it is obvious that the Crown Prince is returning to the palace today, and Captain Mo is here to pick up his sister-in-law in advance!" As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers on the tower who heard it laughed as if they were lit firecrackers. The laughter echoed on the city wall, as if to break the silence.
Mo Ming looked at the group of soldiers who were laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground. He was not angry, but just pretended to be serious and frowned. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, glanced at the soldiers around him, and said loudly: "What are you laughing at? Stand guard properly. Look at you all. No wonder you can't get married!"
Although his words were harsh, there was a hint of teasing and care in his tone. The soldiers laughed even harder when they heard Mo Ming's words, but they quickly straightened their backs and stood seriously.
One of the young soldiers, with a simple smile on his face, gently touched Captain Mo Ming next to him with his elbow and said, "Yes, Captain Mo, you see, we brothers are all young, but we haven't even found a wife yet. Your sister-in-law is so kind, could you please help me to introduce a good girl to me? I dream of having a warm little family." As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, his eyes full of anticipation.
