Chapter 248: Attacking the Heart
I raised my eyes to look at him, "Brother Changruo, you have protected me since I was a child, and you have never made me sad." I-"
"You don't have to say it. Changruo sat down beside me, "My people, I will protect them." Is it because of this that you are asking me to let you go and give you up to others? Isn't it a contradiction and a strong man's difficulty? β
I was ashamed but didn't know how to explain it, and suddenly I realized that he was too close, so I got up from the bed and walked away a few steps. "Well, I'm not going to make it difficult. Hope you do the same. I'm resting in the carriage today, and don't give me any more sleepy medicine!"
"You have always been wise, and I have to guard against you, and I can't help but guard you in this army. He stood up suddenly, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Who knew that Changruo softened his voice again, "Ah Yan, I know that the Huiyin Hall is elegant and luxurious, but what I have prepared for you in Yuzhou will definitely satisfy you." When I arrange the mediocre things properly, I will take you to Yuzhou. What he can give you, I can too!"
"Changruo, no matter how good you prepare, it's not what I want. It's me who I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your years of love. However, as early as the day of my Gu family's raid, we had already missed it. When the princess dedicated me to Xiao Wangfu, it was even more impossible. Why are you so stubborn now?"
"Why? I sent troops to Kyoto, marched thousands of miles, and fought fiercely for several days for you, why do you say?" Xie Changruo became excited, "I have been in my heart for so many years, and I am afraid that I will not be spoiled enough people, you want me to let go easily? If I am not stubborn, I can't do it! I am not reconciled, I have a wife with a marriage contract, how did I become the concubine of his Sheng family! Ah Yan, who originally only had me in his eyes, became pleasing to others!"
He took a deep breath and regained his restrained and elegant appearance: "Do you think that today, you will still be able to go back? So many people in front of the two armies know that you have been taken away by the Xie family's army. Even if you go back clean and immaculate, will the Sheng clan believe it?"
I was chilly and unsteady on my feetβwhat he said was what worried me the most.
As I was short of breath, I suddenly felt the weight of the phoenix pendant around my neck. No, I can't be knocked down by Changruo's words.
"Brother Changruo, I'm thinking, are you in a hurry to kidnap me really because you have a deep affection for me?" I tried to calm my breath, "Or, are you just because I gave you the horizontal sword method as a birthday gift in order to help the Xie clan before?"
Changruo's face was obscure for a moment, and then obviously sad.
I'm sorry, Changruo. I must go back to Shengyao's side. Since good words don't work, and I have to maliciously speculate on you and provoke you.
I smiled coldly: "Since there is a horizontal sword method, you may think that I have other -"
His handsome figure suddenly approached, and he lowered his head and gagged me with his lips.
Tempting, cautious, but suppressed.
I bit hard.
Changruo let go of me in pain, and blood beads were already on his lips.
On the face of the spring garden flowers and trees, there are hidden green tendons. Like the blood moonlight on the day of a lunar eclipse, it is no longer clear and warm.
He looked at me for a long time.
Until Ruyi lifted the curtain, "Childe, General Xie Yan is looking for you." β
Changruo walked towards the outside of the tent, and when he passed by me, he paused and stood like a pine.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly pursed his lips and said, "Since you think so, everything is as you wish." He turned and walked out.
On this day, there are probably no more ingredients to make people sleep, and Changruo did not come back at night.
I was a little ecstatic to make Changruo's method work, only to find that the number of guards outside the tent had tripled. I looked out behind the curtain and whispered to Cuinong, "There are too many guards and too tight, I don't have a chance today." Can you see it in the daytime?"
Cui Nong nodded and said, "The maid can see clearly, Liu Xiaohe and they are in the queue not far behind the carriage." They were loosened, and they were on their horses, but they were guarded by the soldiers in front of them. β
I lowered my voice and said, "It has been three days of rapid marching of this intensity, and tomorrow evening will be the time when the soldiers are most tired. Tomorrow, you want to contact Liu Xiaohe and the others, and if you can talk, please ask them to help as much as possible in the evening. If it's hard to do, that's it, it's up to us. β
"Rely on Liangyuan and the maid?" Cui Nong said worriedly, "Can it be done?
I said calmly, "Let's run away first." If it doesn't work tomorrow, there will be no more chance. "According to what Ruyi said yesterday, Shangluo County has passed, and the army is marching very fast, and most of them will reach Shangyong in the day after tomorrow. If I enter the mediocrity, Changruo will inevitably put me under house arrest. At that time, the city gates were closed, the house was deep, and a group of maids were around, and it was really impossible to think about it if you wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Cui Nong's face was sad for a while. I whispered, "No matter what, it won't be worse than the embarrassing situation right now." If you don't restrain yourself, how can it be better for people to see it? β
Cuinong woke up, gave a salute, and went to make the bed.
On the second day, when he was resting on the way, Changruo rode on his war horse, approached the carriage and asked: "Ah Yan, if you had not committed to the Sheng clan that day, if you had been in the princess's mansion, if there had been no him, would your heart still be with me?"
Inside the carriage, my eyes moved slightly.
Ruyi glanced at me and lifted the curtain. Outside the curtain is the quiet silhouette of Changruo waiting for an answer, reminding people of the tender silhouette outside the window of the moonlit night of the Jokhang Temple that day.
His heart softened, and he nodded slightly.
Changruo suddenly smiled.
Without saying a word, the horse left.
In the evening, don't say Cuinong, but I also got nervous.
I have been thinking about how to avoid Ruyi during the day, but I haven't found a foolproof good way. Who knew that Zhang Luo, who ran before and after Ruyi during the day, quickly fell asleep after resting at night. At midnight, Cuinong got up and pushed her a few times, but she didn't wake up.
I also got off the bed lightly, and I heard Liu Xiaohe's deliberately low voice: "Cuinong, quickly call Liangyuan out." The guards outside have been cleaned up by us. β
Cui Nong and I looked at each other, and we were both a little overjoyed.
Hurriedly got out of the tent and followed Liu Xiaohe and another black-armored guard, bypassed the guards lying at the door, and under the cover of one camp tent after another, avoided night sentry and patrol, crossed the official road, and went up the hill next to the official road.
Liu Xiaohe asked, "How does Liangyuan plan to go?"
I looked at the fashionable and quiet camp of the Xie family army at the foot of the hill, and said, "Go to the nearest town first, and it would be best to buy a carriage at dawn." "If you only rely on the strength of my feet and Cuinong, I can't go far.
