The cold lamp is like a bean, bringing a faint light to the gloomy and bleak prison cell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A man huddled in a pile of dead grass in the corner, his hair obscuring most of his face. He was covered in blood and scars, and his right hand and right foot were in a strange and twisted posture, looking extremely embarrassed.

The cell was filled with the sound of heavy, familiar footsteps, which came from far and near, until they stopped beside him. The man barely opened his blood-crusted eyelids, revealing a pair of slush-stained worn boots, one of which still had patched marks.

The man stared at the pair of boots in front of him, and there was no sadness, no joy, no fear and no regrets in his cloudy eyes, only an emptiness and confusion.

"Yong'an, Yong'an, my son, how did you become like this in just one night...... It's that demon girl who hurt you!" Ding Dart hugged him tightly, and old tears instantly moistened his always shrewd eyes.

However, the old man's sad call did not bring back Ding Yongan's sanity, and the warm embrace could not make him move in the slightest. Seeing his sluggish appearance without a trace of reaction, Ding Darthead was grief-stricken, and his always straight back was also rickety, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

Hua Lianyue vaguely remembered that when he broke his arm and asked his father Liu Yiliang for help, he never showed such a desperate appearance.

"Yong'an, my son ......" The whispered sorrow sounded slowly, the voice gradually expanded, and the suppressed cry echoed in the cell.

Outside the cell, Ding Darttou's cry could be heard clearly. Liu Gu shook his head, he turned his head to look at Hua Lianyue, and said, "That woman has always been silent and docile before, and she is already weak and weak because of her hunger strike, so the jailers lost their guard and let Ding Yongan in, but they also paid a lot of price. Do you know what happened last night?"

"What happened?" asked Hua Lianyue subconsciously.

Liu Gu sneered and said, "That woman asked Ding Yongan to knock a jailer unconscious, she changed into the jailer's clothes, and prepared to escape by fishing in the troubled waters of the night." This Ding Yongan also had a thought, and specially prepared a fast horse that was one in a hundred. However, they were discovered before they could leave the gates.

Ding Yongan was good, escorted her all the way to fight, and finally broke out of the gate, ready to get on the horse and escape. It's a pity that the woman turned her face ruthlessly, and actually pushed him off the horse, who was already seriously injured, and she herself took the opportunity to escape to the Northern Underworld. ”

Hua Lianyue was taken aback and muttered, "I really didn't expect Ding Yongan to really like Zhong Lingxiu and be willing to rob the prison for her." She was one of the bandits who tried to rob the Ding family's dart game, and his doing so was tantamount to betraying the entire dart game, and if the other dart masters knew about it, they would be extremely angry. It's a pity that he sacrificed so much, but in exchange for outright exploitation and betrayal,"

He knew that this woman was not simple, and he plunged into it, so he should be mentally prepared to be betrayed. Liu Gu shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this betrayal came too quickly, that's why he was so desperate." Even if he is not dead at this moment, he is actually almost dead. ”

Hua Lianyue couldn't help but look sideways at Liu Hui, who was silent, and her mood was a little indescribably complicated.

"But I've let a team chase after her, this woman's mind is too vicious and meticulous, and if there is a chance to catch her, I must not give her a chance to live. Liu Gu also looked at Liu Hui, and he said slightly provocatively: "I don't know what King Xian thinks about this matter?"

Liu Hui lowered his eyes, smiled lowly, and said, "This is the place where General Liu is guarded, the life and death of a fugitive, do you still need to ask the king's opinion?" His expression was calm and quiet, and he seemed to really think that Liu Gu's question was ridiculous.

Hua Lianyue snorted softly when she heard this, and refocused her gaze on the father and son in the cell. Her noncommittal attitude made Liu Hui gloomy for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his calmness.

A chaotic sound of footsteps sounded behind them, and the three of them looked back at the same time, and saw an elderly military doctor hurrying over with a medicine box on his back. As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Liu Gu and Liu Hui, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the prince, I've seen the general." ”

Liu Hui nodded and said lightly: "No need to be polite!"

Only then did the old military doctor ask Liu Gu: "The general asked the old man to be called, but who was seriously injured?" He is a military doctor, holding the imperial court's salary, only for the soldiers in the army to see a doctor. Today, he was called to the prison by Liu Gu, and he inevitably felt doubts in his heart.

"That's good!" Liu Gu said to Nunu in the cell, "I know that what you are best at is bruises, and the young dart head in it is seriously injured, please take a closer look." ”

"Old man, let's go and have a look!" The old military doctor didn't say a word, and immediately carried the medicine box into the cell, and Liu Gu immediately followed.

In the prison cell, Ding Darttou was holding Ding Yongan's broken body in tears, and when he saw Liu Gu coming with the doctor, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. Liu Gu hurriedly helped him aside to comfort him, and the old military doctor began to neatly check Ding Yongan's injuries.

Outside the prison room, Liu Hui's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully: "Your eldest brother is really good to the Ding family's father and son, and he actually invited a military doctor to take care of the prisoners who robbed the prison." ”

Hua Lianyue snorted and said: "Ding Dart is such a precious son, if he really becomes a waste man with broken hands and feet, the Ding family dart bureau will have no successor." Ding Yongan was originally confused by a ghost for a while, and he was not a big traitor. Now that you've learned a painful lesson, why should you bother with him anymore. She looked at Ding Yongan, who was still lifeless inside, and didn't know whether to be angry with him or pity him.

Seeing Hua Lianyue looking intently at Ding Yongan in the cell, Liu Hui felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Here, no matter if he is injured alone, he is also injured or not, and he doesn't see her take a few more looks.

Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said, "There is nothing to do here left and right, let's go back to the General's Mansion and wait for news!"

Hua Lianyue didn't reply and said, "You go back first, I still want to stay for a while to see if I can help." ”

After half a ring, Liu Hui was not heard. Hua Lianyue turned around in surprise, but saw him standing straight behind her without moving, but his cheeks were faintly flushed, and he looked feverish.

"Oops, what's wrong with you......" Hua Lianyue suddenly remembered that he was also injured, and hurriedly reached out to touch his forehead. Before his hand could touch his skin, he rolled his eyes and fell to her shoulder.

......

Zhong Lingxiu was like a rabbit, gritting his silver teeth and limping in the wind and snow. There were many scars on her body from the fall, and the fire in her chest was like a flame burning. Her left ankle was so red and swollen that she could barely touch the ground.

With every step she took, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle. It was when she rolled off the horse, she was so panicked that she stepped on a stone with her left foot and was caught.

Still, she didn't dare to slow down the slightest bit. In this way, one foot deeper, one foot shallow, kept dodging and running in the mountains.

Whenever she was exhausted and tried to take her steps, several feathered arrows would fly over her body and land in the open space beside her, or stab into the trunk of a tree.

She was terrified, always suspecting that the next moment there would be countless arrows unceremoniously piercing her body. Even though her strength was almost exhausted, she still didn't dare to stop in the slightest, because she didn't want to die, at least not now.

"Stop, run again and you'll be dead!"

"Stinky, I didn't expect to be able to escape like this. ”

"Brothers, aim at it, don't be soft! The general can say, live or die......

Zhong Lingxiu bit her lower lip tightly, her beautiful lip flap almost overflowed with blood, but there was amazing stubbornness and madness in her eyes. She ran wildly in the wind and snow, just for a glimmer of hope of survival, but unfortunately no matter how hard she tried, her bumpy and stiff steps still gradually slowed down.

Hearing the chaotic footsteps behind her, the shouting was getting closer and clearer, and her heart, which was beating wildly because of exhaustion, almost jumped out of her throat.

A feathered arrow whistled and flew out of her cheek. She felt a tingling pain in her face, which she had always been proud of, and a large amount of warm liquid gushed out, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.

Zhong Lingxiu stroked his face in disbelief, but touched a hand of piercing blood. She screamed in terror, and despair overwhelmed her in an instant.

"Over there, quick, don't let her run......"

"Stinky girl, don't let me catch it if you have the ability, otherwise it will definitely make you look good. ”

"Neatly, this is already the realm of the Northern Underworld, and it will take a lot of effort to lure their defenders in. ”

The desire to survive in Zhong Lingxiu's chest was burning again, she took a deep breath, and ran desperately like a deer again.

At this moment, countless swaying figures appeared in the forest in front of her.

They rode tall horses and carried heavy quivers. He wore a thick coat of various animal skins, and his hair was shaved to the top of his hair, and he was woven into countless small braids, and the ends of the braids were decorated with large and small animal teeth. The dress of these people is obviously different from the pursuers behind them, and it seems that they should be from the Northern Underworld.

Zhong Lingxiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his arms and called: "Help, help......"

There was a commotion among the pursuers behind her, and countless feathered arrows whistled with the sound of the wind. Zhong Lingxiu was shocked, she knew that she could escape for so long, but the pursuers behind her were not really ruthless. Now that they have seen the appearance of the Northern Underworld, they are afraid of accidents, and they are finally going to be ruthless.

In desperation, she threw herself on the ground. Although she reacted quickly, she was still a step slower, and two feather arrows pierced her shoulders and thighs with great force.

Zhong Lingxiu let out a terrible scream and finally fainted. However, this movement alarmed the group of Northern Underworld people on the other side. They urged the horses to make all kinds of strange screams, and rushed over with a whistling, and soon surrounded Zhong Lingxiu, who had fallen to the ground.

There were quite a few of them, at least a few dozen of them. Seeing this, the seven or eight Eastern Qin soldiers who came after couldn't help but secretly complain, one of them had some official status, he took a step forward and said: "That woman is a fugitive who was personally ordered by our General Liu to chase the shop, and I also ask you to raise your noble hands and let us take her back to our general to return to our general." ”

Among the group of Northern Underworld, someone said disdainfully: "You are a group of big men, but you are chasing and killing a weak woman, and you are not afraid of losing the face of your General Liu when you spread it." "The man had a dark and rough complexion, a short beard at the jaw, and a muscular body like a cheetah. A pair of slightly amber eyes are very sharp and shining.

Seeing that the Eastern Qin soldiers were soft, they could only say stiffly: "She is not a weak woman, she can carry countless lives on her back! I think you also know that our General Liu has always had a bad temper, so why bother with this kind of idle business." ”

"Your General Liu has a bad temper, it's your Dongqin's business. But the territory you are stepping on now belongs to our North Hell, if I don't give you people, no matter how powerful your General Liu is, can you still run to our North Hells to arrest people!" Another Northern Underworld man was not convinced.

The Eastern Qin soldiers looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with hesitation. Dongqin and Beiming have been at peace for more than 20 years, but they didn't expect that their side had already put on the name of General Liu, and the other party didn't give any face.

Zhong Lingxiu gradually recovered from the fainting, she opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the situation in front of her, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she screamed: "Second prince, second prince help......

The man with a short beard in the North is none other than the second prince, Yu Guang.

Yu Guang originally came in disguise, but he was suddenly called by Zhong Lingxiu to reveal his identity, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. He reacted very quickly, and immediately shouted: "Kill them, not one is allowed to stay!"

The dozens of men he brought with him immediately roared and rushed towards the Eastern Qin soldiers. There were many of them, and the Eastern Qin soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and they turned around and fled. They chased Zhong Lingxiu, and many of their horses were caught in animal traps buried in the dark in the forest, so they had to abandon their horses and walk.

And these Northern Underworld people were just waiting for work, and they were all riding high-headed horses, where could these Eastern Qin soldiers escape from their palms, so the screams sounded in all directions.

Yu Guang got off his horse and came to Zhong Lingxiu's side. "Multi-...... Thank you to the second prince for coming to the rescue!" Zhong Lingxiu lay on the ground in embarrassment, and the pain all over her body made her almost faint. She forced herself to smile sweetly and meet the eyes of Yu Guang, who was full of gloom.

Yu Guang squatted down beside her, he looked at her bloodstained and hideous face, sighed twice, and said, "Miss Zhong, why did you make yourself so embarrassed." ”

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly wiped the blood from her face with the sleeve of his coat. His movements were both domineering and gentle, Zhong Lingxiu half-lowered his eyes shyly, but there was a faint pride in his heart.

This is a man who always has pity for a poor woman. And she is the best at using this kind of pity, she used Ding Yongan's pity to escape from the prison before, and now she uses Yu Guang's pity to get rid of the chasing soldiers who are following.

She tried this method repeatedly, but she only failed in Liu Hui's body.

Yu Guang had already wiped the blood from her face, and the arrow wound on her cheek was unconcealed. The wound was not long but extremely deep, turning outward, as if it had opened another bloody mouth. Yu Guang frowned without moving, and a trace of disgust flashed in his heart.

Helping Zhong Lingxiu sit up, he asked in a deep voice: "Miss Zhong, what about the batch of goods you promised to give to this prince? I took people to stay here for five days, why didn't I even see a grain of salt?"
