You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 263 Xiao Yan, he is back too?

"Yes! Princess."

The women responded and quickly retreated.

After everyone left, the woman was so angry that she smashed a vase again.

Ye Di Si!!

He and Ye Yi are just as mean and look down on her. They both have the surname Ye, so why do they look down on her?

Just because she is a woman?

They didn't respect any of her will, and after using her, they kicked her away without hesitation.

Only Brother Ying...is the one who loves her the most.

He obeys her in everything!

Even though she stole it, so what?

They all forgot about it. As long as she had this kindness, with Xiao Yan's personality, she could enjoy his kindness for the rest of her life.

When she climbs to a high position, she will trample them under her feet.

Those watery eyes were filled with viciousness and an extreme desire for power...

……

In a desert on the border, this place seems to be separated from the border, forming two worlds.

It has started snowing in the border area in mid-autumn, but here the sun is shining brightly.

The scorching sun shines on the sand, emitting dazzling light. The sand is so hot that it seems to melt people.

There was a man buried in the sand, with only an extremely handsome face exposed.

Although there was some sand and dirt on his face, it did not affect his handsomeness.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows were tightly knitted, and his body kept shaking as if he was haunted by a nightmare.

Something kept pouring into his mind, drilling deep into his memory, giving him a splitting headache.

"Don't...don't..."

He murmured indistinct sounds, as if he was calling someone, or as if he was having a nightmare. He wanted to break free, but couldn't.

A man in blue clothes not far from him woke up first. He looked around with confused eyes.

But he quickly reacted.

Were they blown here by an evil wind?

He sat up in the sand. The sun was terribly bright here. Where on earth had they been blown to?

He heard a slight sound in his ear, turned his head, and saw Xiao Yan buried in the sand with his eyes moving constantly.

I don't know what nightmare he had.

Lin Kaiji didn't plan to call him. He had only one thought in his mind: where is Zhaozhao?

He looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Zhao Zhao?"

He shouted, standing up unsteadily.

Most people gradually woke up and looked at the scene in front of them in confusion.

Looking into the distance, there are endless sand dunes all around, stretching endlessly without any sign of life.

"Where is this? Is this heaven?"

Someone wondered.

"What heaven? We are alive. We actually survived!"

Someone responded, his tone full of surprise and relief at having survived the disaster.

When the man heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he became happy:

"I'm still alive, we're all still alive, long live the young lady! Long live the young master!"

"I never thought that someone could actually survive that evil wind."

"It seems that the evil wind is not that scary after all!"

Someone said shamelessly.

“It’s not scary, it just hurts a bit from being hit by the sand and stones…hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…”

Everyone laughed, stood up, and shook off the sand on their bodies.

"Hey, Master seems to be looking for something!"

The sharp-eyed person saw what Lin Kaiji was looking for and spoke up.

When everyone heard his words, they looked around, only to find that they didn't see Lin Zhaoyue, and said worriedly:

"Why can't I see the young lady? The young master should be looking for her. Everyone, please help look for her and see if any of your companions are missing."

Everyone was looking everywhere.

At this time, the people on Xiao Yan's side also woke up.

Feng Xin was the first to wake up. He stood up, brushed off the sand and began to look for Xiao Yan. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was safe and sound.

Xiao Yan was dreaming, and he didn't know whether to wake him up.

Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, Xiao Yan's body began to tremble violently, as if he was struggling, or as if he was in some extreme pain.

"Zhao Zhao...No, don't leave me..."

"Your mother didn't abandon you, she just...didn't want me..."

I?

Feng Xin’s eyes paused slightly.

Two years ago, Miss Lin II jumped off a cliff and died. He carried "Miss Lin II's body" to the side hall of the East Palace. When his master saw the body, he was in a bad mental state and called himself "I". He was shocked at the time. Why was he calling himself "I" again now?

Feng Xin raised his hand, wanting to wake Xiao Yan up, and heard him say:

"You... deserve to die..."

Damn it? Who should be damned?

Feng Xin frowned, looked at Xiao Yan who was haunted by a nightmare, hesitated for a while, and finally woke him up.

"Master, master..."

Xiao Yun suddenly opened his eyes, but his dark eyes were now blood red, as if covered by a thin layer of blood mist.

Feng Xin was startled when he suddenly bumped into those bloodshot eyes.

He remembered that two years ago, when Miss Lin was occasionally emotional, her eyes looked like this.

Even though there was blood mist between them, Feng Xin could still feel the murderous intent in Xiao Yun's eyes.

Just that one glance made his back chill and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.

When Xiao Wei saw clearly that the person in front of him was Feng Xin, the murderous intent in his eyes faded away, and even the layer of blood mist gradually disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was obviously the same person, but Feng Xin inexplicably felt that Xiao Yan in front of him seemed different. As for what was different, he couldn't tell.

Xiao Yan rubbed his splitting headache forehead with his hand and said casually:

"Where's the queen?"

Feng Xin was stunned. He didn't expect that the person his master would ask when he woke up was the Empress. He answered stupidly and truthfully:

"The Queen passed away two years ago!"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then remembered something. He put down his hand and looked around, his expression changing from confusion to anxiety:

"Where's Zhao Zhao?"

"The girl hasn't been found yet."

"Go find someone."

Xiao Yan said this and stood up to look for someone. He was always a clean person, but he didn't even have time to brush off the sand and dirt on his body.

Everyone was looking for Lin Zhaoyue. The man looked around with his dark eyes but didn't see her.

When he stopped at a sand dune, he seemed to sense something and walked towards the dune.

Under the sand dune, Lin Zhaoyue was seen lying on the ground with her face towards the sand, with the crossbow arrow on her shoulder stuck straight into her back.

She was shot by Lin Yanzhi when she was blocking a crossbow arrow for Lin Kaiji. The situation was urgent and there was no time to deal with it.

Now the blood from the wound has coagulated and the clothes are all covered with blood.

The little face is very red, but the lips are pale.

"Zhao Zhao."

Xiao Yan shouted and walked over quickly.

He reached out and touched the tip of her nose, her breathing was weak and hot.

The hand with slender knuckles touched her forehead, which was very hot.

Is this a high fever?

"Zhao Zhao?"

He called her name, but the unconscious person did not respond at all.

When the people over there heard the noise, they all came over here.

Lin Kaiji was the first to rush over. When he saw the unconscious Lin Zhaoyue, worry flashed across his eyes.

"Zhao Zhao."

As he spoke, he squatted down and was about to hug her, but Xiao Yan dodged his hand and held Lin Zhaoyue tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch her away, or... to be more precise, he didn't believe him.

Lin Kaiji was stunned for a moment, then remembered his identity and could only withdraw his hand awkwardly.

If it were before, he was her elder brother, but now he is the one who is most qualified to hug her.

But now, he is no longer her eldest brother, and...

"What's up with her?"

Xiao Yan hugged Lin Zhaoyue and said:

"It should be the wound infection that caused the high fever."

As he spoke, he looked at Feng Xin and said:

"Go and see if there are any small villages around here, if there are any people, or if there are any rivers..."

Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, he heard Lin Kaiji say:

"It's useless. We are now in a place where, if Ben...if I'm not mistaken, we were blown into the desert by the evil wind."

"desert?"

Someone wondered.

Some people also had sad faces:

"Isn't the desert a forbidden border area? Then how can we get out?"

"No one can get out of the desert. We will be trapped and die here."

"Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I should have killed two more people, so that I could have made my money back..."

The most despairing thing is to give people hope and then ruthlessly extinguish it, causing them to fall into deeper disappointment.

For the soldiers on the border, the desert is a place more terrifying than the dead city. It is the real gate to hell, and there is no return!

There is absolutely no hope here.

There is no water, no food, and even the air is thinner than other places... There is man-eating sand here, and it is a place where evil winds often appear...

Their voices were too loud. Lin Zhaoyue frowned and slowly opened her eyes.

Even though Xiao Yan used his body to block the light for her, the residual light still made her squint her eyes.

"You're awake, how do you feel?"

When everyone saw that Lin Zhaoyue had woken up, they automatically muted their voices.

Lin Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment when she met Xiao Yun's worried look.

These eyes...

Noticing Lin Zhaoyue's scrutiny, Xiao Yan looked at her suspiciously:

"what happened?"

Lin Zhaoyue looked into his eyes carefully for a while, but there was nothing unusual.

It was strange. The moment she opened her eyes, she actually thought he had come back.

If he really came back, she would probably not be in his arms at this moment, but would be facing his second stab at her.

Lin Zhaoyue frowned, did not answer his question, and looked around.

Although her view was blocked by the people surrounding her, she could roughly guess where this was from the sand on the ground:

“Are we in the desert?”

When Lin Kaiji heard Lin Zhaoyue utter the word "desert", his gaze paused when he looked at her.

I didn't expect that she even knew about the desert.

"Zhao Zhao knows the desert?"

Lin Zhaoyue hummed.

Excessive blood loss, sun exposure and high fever have caused her body to be extremely dehydrated.

His face was red, his lips were cracked and chapped, and his throat was dry and painful, as if there was a fire burning. Every time he swallowed saliva, it felt like he was swallowing a razor blade.

“There is a lack of water and food in the desert. The sun is so strong now that it is not suitable to travel quickly. Without a direction, we cannot go out. We can only determine the direction through Tianshu and Tianxuan at night and follow its direction.

During the day we rested and tried our best to find water and food. We made simple torches with some wood. We did not just look for rivers or oases to find water. If there were green plants somewhere, there would be water. Also, we tried to avoid talking, maintain our strength, and reduce the loss of water in our bodies.

As for food, I can eat snakes and lizards.”

Lin Zhaoyue spoke intermittently. Her throat was so dry and painful that she kept swallowing her saliva, but even no saliva could be secreted.

Looking at Lin Zhaoyue who responded calmly, Xiao Yun's eyes deepened.

Lin Zhaoyue's words miraculously smoothed out everyone's inner anxiety.

In the past, they were respectful to Lin Zhaoyue because of her status, but now, they sincerely admire her.

There is a power in her that makes people unconsciously convinced.

After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, she felt the pain in her shoulder and said to Xiao Yan:

"You pull the crossbow arrow off my shoulder. I... I have gold... gold wound medicine in my sleeve pocket..."

After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

"Zhao Zhao..."

Xiao Yan and Lin Kaiji ordered their people to find food and water, while the other two went to find a shady place.

After finding a place on the leeward side of a sand dune, Lin Kaiji looked at the crossbow on Lin Zhaoyue's shoulder and felt guilty.

The arrow wound on Zhaozhao's arm was caused by him, and the one on her shoulder was caused by her blocking his wound.

Thinking of Lin Zhaoyue saying that he wanted to pull out the arrow for her, Lin Kaiji said:

"I'll pull it out for her."

He reached out to take Lin Zhaoyue, but Xiao Yan hugged her tightly and said expressionlessly:

"I come."

"I have been at the border for many years and have experience in treating wounds."

Lin Kaiji paused and said:

"And she was hurt because of me."

Xiao Yan didn't let him, and just said:

"I will also take care of it."

As he said this, he even wanted to drive him away:

"You are no longer her brother. There is a difference between men and women. Please keep your distance from Zhao Zhao, Prince Wenxuan."

Lin Kaiji was choked by him and said:

"What is the identity of the Third Prince?"

What status?

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Zhaoyue in his arms, his black eyes flickering.

"She just told me to help her pull it out, which means Zhao Zhao trusts me more."

Lin Kaiji sneered when he heard his words:

"Do you really think she trusts you? How much do you think Zhao Zhao can trust you, a man who is willing to go to the Dead City at all costs just to kill her with his own hands?"

Xiao Yan paused and looked at him sideways:

"What do you mean?"

Lin Kaiji smiled and said mockingly:

“Third Prince, you probably don’t know that the Dead City has a special sound transmission effect. We can hear everything you say in the Dead City clearly outside the Dead City.

You said you didn’t come to save her, but to kill her!”

No wonder, no wonder when she saw him this time, she began to look at him with the same coldness she had when they met again, or even worse!

Looking at Lin Kaiji's expression, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth:

"If you hadn't used a fake to fool me, would I have said that?"

Lin Kaiji spread his hands to show that he was innocent.

"That can't be helped. Zhao Zhao doesn't know anyway."

Only now did he realize that watching Xiao Yan get angry was much more interesting than fighting with him!

As he spoke, under Xiao Yan's murderous gaze, he asked curiously:

"I have spent a lot of time training that person. How could you see through him so easily?"

Xiao Yun looked at him with a fake smile:

"If it were you, would you admit your mistake?"

Lin Kaiji laughed:

"That's not necessarily the case. After all, they look exactly the same."

Xiao Yan looked at him and said something incomprehensible after a while:

"But she won't, and neither will I."

Lin Kaiji felt that Xiao Yun seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell what had changed.

She is obviously eight years younger than him, but now she gives him a feeling that she is older than him. He has never had this feeling before.
