Article 51
The carriage came to an abrupt stop. The sedan curtain was lifted, and Yan Tianmu came in: "Come down." ”
Leaning there, the bored Xiyan looked at him in confusion and swallowed back the words that almost blurted out. Look at the autumn warbler on the side, she was napping just now, and now she is awake.
Xiyan and Qiu Ying got off the sedan chair together. There was a depression in front of me. On the low hills on both sides of the official road are equally low bushes, the leaves are small and look gray, and in the bright sunlight, the light reflected by the dry and whitish earth makes people feel hot, and further afield, there are continuous mountains, faint blue waiting there. She looked to the other side, and saw several huts lonely in the low hills, and a path that winded from the official road to the door. Where is this?
Yan Tianmu handed a package to Qiu Ying.
"Qiu Ying, you wear the clothes of the side concubine, and the side concubine wears this one inside, you go inside now and change in. He gestured to the hut. "Hurry up. "He's not going to explain.
"Good. Qiu Ying took the things, "Niangniang, let's go." ”
Xiyan looked at Yan Tianmu and found that he frowned, looking into the distance. She bowed her head and followed the oriole towards the hut.
They walked into the nearest room, and the hut was empty, clean only a bed, a table, on which a thin quilt was placed, and the thin quilt was casually lifted aside, and it was conceivable that the people who slept here were all together and left here, without even having time to look at the bed. There was a clay pot on the table, and a bowl next to it, and there was still undried water at the bottom of the bowl. There was a smell of dust in the house, and like the air outside, it was dry.
"You can put it on first. When I opened it, I found that it was a set of men's clothes, with an ordinary texture, which was often worn by civilians. Xiyan picked a similar body size and put it on. After dressing, tie your hair up like a man. Qiu Ying also changed into Xiyan's clothes. The two walked out together.
At this time, Xi Yan found out that Yan Tianmu and the others had changed their outfits as early as they came out of Huayang, and they looked like they had no traces of the imperial court, like escorts.
Yan Tianmu watched her come over there, as if she saw the naughty little boy in the garden again.
"Alright. Xiyan walked up to him, looked at him a little dumbfounded, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of his eyes. "What now?"
Yan Tianmu came back to his senses, "There is only a narrow road ahead, and there have always been bandits, so in order to avoid accidents, I have to wronged you first." ”
"I don't know how to ride a horse. Xiyan immediately thought of this serious problem.
"I will. Yan Tianmu smiled, and then looked at her seriously, "I want to take you through here as quickly as possible, it will be very hard, bear with it first." ”
Xiyan swallowed her saliva, glancing at the tall horse, almost crying when she saw that no one had passed the already dusty road.
"Wearing it. Yan Tianmu buckled a hat with a shaman on her head, then picked her up by the waist and put her on the horse, and then got on the horse himself.
"Everything went according to yesterday's plan. He gave orders to his subordinates, and after that, he adjusted Xiyan's posture and held her firmly to his chest.
"Sit down. He whispered, and sprang up. A small group of people also rode horses to follow.
His body was hard, his arms were hard, and Xiyan could strongly feel this hardness that contained great strength. His strength has been externalized into the body, and you will feel that he is a mountain, a safe house, and if you hide by his side, you will not be harmed. Indeed, women and men are different, too different. She thought wildly, trying to take her attention away from her tossed ass and suffocating dust. Fleeing like a Mercedes-Benz, she only felt frustrated and embarrassed. Be sure to pass smoothly. She meditated in her heart.
Without looking, Yan Tianmu knew that she must be bitter and try her best to survive. He also wanted to get over this paragraph soon. Riding a horse with a beautiful woman, it should be on the green grass, the clear wind blows in her face, lifts the woman's veil, and she looks at herself shyly and timidly. The scent of grass in the air and the scent of flowers brought by the wind are mixed together, making people feel refreshed. Now this kind of scene is simply a big opposite. Two nervous men, galloping on the dusty road, their faces covered with dust and dry soil, not caring about any image, what men and women, all their minds were concentrated on the horses under them, and their hearts were like strings that had been taut, and they were trembling by the wind in the rush.
Xi Yan got up, looked around, and quickly ran to the groove under the stone wall to hide. This stone wall is towering, the wall surface is smooth, and it is impossible for anyone to suddenly appear up and down, left and right. She wasn't going to be hit by something falling from the sky again.
Yes, unfortunately. They didn't make it through. A handful of bandits were roaming the area, unexpectedly rushing out with the intention of robbing them. Yan Tianmu didn't plan to get off the horse, but she was worried about hurting Xiyan, so she went out. There are not many people brought by Yan Tianmu, but these people are all masters in the palace, and after a fierce battle, these bandits were unfortunately solved.
Xi Yan stared blankly at the flying flesh and blood, she had seen killing chickens before, but now she was a living person, her legs were shaking, but she still trembled and crawled to a corpse, pulled the knife out of his hand, dragged it, and hid back in the groove. There was still temperature on the handle, wet, sweat and blood, and she didn't look at her hands, for fear that she would lose the courage to hold it.
Yan Tianmu wiped the blood on his hands on the placket of his clothes, it was all someone else's. Go back and find Xiyan. He had already seen her hiding, and although the situation was urgent, he couldn't help but want to praise her, she still had a bit of a brain. Didn't shout, but found a great hiding place for the first time. If they saw this scene, I am afraid that their evaluation of her will be reversed 180 degrees. But then again, it turns out that he doesn't know her that well either.
"Put it down. Yan Tianmu grabbed her wrist and took out the knife in her hand. She stiffened.
"It's all in the past. He patted her on the shoulder. She slowly slid to the ground. His gaze passed over the hem of his blood-stained robe. Her pupils were bigger.
Yan Tianmu pulled her up, hugged her, and put her on the horse, "We don't have time to stay." ”
Xiyan was in a trance and swayed forward on the horse, she was so scared that she couldn't get back to her heart.
Death, so near.
They finally stopped. Yan Tianmu did not rush into the city, but first found a water source and cleaned up the blood stains on his body. When her hand touched the cold water, she felt her soul return to her body. She kept splashing water on her face, rubbing her hands vigorously, she wanted to forget what she saw and felt, the smell left in her nose, the liquid on her hands.
Yan Tianmu squatted aside and looked at her, "Don't think too much, just take it as an experience." ”
"What does it feel like to kill someone?" she said, staring at the river in a daze.
"It doesn't feel anything. Yan Tianmu looked into the distance, "It's too late to feel it." ”
"Isn't it more brutal on the battlefield?" she asked again.
"How many people have been fighting in the ancient world?" he sighed softly.
