Chapter 181: The Two
On the opposite hill, the two galloped at great speed, and soon reached the hinterland of the river valley, and then climbed up this side of the mountain before everyone could come to their senses.
Jiang Chengzi was startled, these two people were dressed like killers in costume films, and they were also masked and wearing a headscarf that wrapped their heads. Armed with a sword. The two of them were gray and black, galloping up. Although the speed is not as fast as Jiang Chengzi, it is also extremely fast.
Who are these two?
Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but wonder, but at the same time, he secretly guessed that these two people might be the ones who shot the two sharp arrows. As for the place where the sharp arrows were shot, Jiang Chengzi had already seen that it was the opposite hill.
She had long been surprised. In modern times, the opposite hill is an excellent sniper spot. But this is ancient times, and it is impossible for even the best archers to shoot an enemy in the neck and kill him with a single move at such a great distance, in the presence of a strong wind. And after an arrow flies so far and hits the enemy, it still has such a powerful penetrating power.
Jiang Chengzi felt that in ancient times, if it was not with the help of external forces, it would have been Xiang Yu's strong bow that had pulled out the mountain and conquered the world, maybe it could shoot here, and it was only shot here.
But the two people in front of them who galloped in gray and black looked very thin, and they were not capable of carrying a thousand catties.
Are these two friends or foes?
Jiang Chengzi was not sure for a while. She had to clench the long sword in her hand, cheer up her spirit, and prepare to fall down the cliff behind her at any time.
As for the clansmen of Longdao, they would not think as deeply as Jiang Chengzi. Immediately after their initial horror, they reverted to the nature of a fighting people on horseback. Extremely angry, he wants to avenge his leader. And the first choice of the object of revenge was not Jiang Chengzi, but the two black-clothed men who galloped over, one gray and one black.
In their opinion. It was the arrows fired by the two men in black that killed the leader. And now those two people are still galloping here, no matter what they are here to do, in short, to avenge the leader. As a result, the good hands of the Qiang people who had been lurking here immediately entered a state of combat readiness and shouted angrily: "Avenge the leader, avenge the leader." Kill it. Kill it. ”
Or maybe it was because Jiang Chengzi didn't kill their leader directly, they put Jiang Chengzi aside first.
Jiang Chengzi couldn't understand their shouts, but he could hear a strong killing intent from them. The men drew their bows and arrows. Deal with those two. Jiang Chengzi was not sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he only stood on the top of the mountain and watched from the wall.
Of course, in order to prevent someone from giving herself an arrow, she used trees as a cover. And not far away. Long Dao fell there. Blood stained the green grass around him, and under the sun, it was very demonic.
The gray and black two are really good hands. Along the way, the long sword spun into a graceful sword flower, resisting the rain of swords. The two of them got closer and closer, Jiang Chengzi looked at the two of them through the gap in the tree, and the more they looked at them, the more familiar they became.
"I'll go. Is that Li Ke?" Jiang Chengzi suspected that the man in black was Li Ke. The other one is not quite visible.
The man in black was twenty meters away from him, fighting with a group of people.
"Even if we die. and let them live. The Qiang let out an earth-shattering roar.
"You don't have that chance. The man in black said.
Jiang Chengzi listened to his voice, and now he was sure that this was 100% Li Ke. Another gray-clothed man, looking at his figure, seems to be similar to Qin Ming, but it doesn't seem to be.
I don't know why, when he thought that he was in this mountain wilderness, facing the strong enemy of the Qiang people, Li Ke actually arrived as soon as possible. Jiang Chengzi, who has always been strong, also burst into tears, and his heart was indescribably excited and sweet.
She jumped down from behind the tree, as light as a swallow, and wherever she passed, her sword cut off the arrows of the men's bows and slashed through their wrists. She floated up like a brilliant flower.
The three of them picked off everyone's bows and arrows, and Jiang Chengzi stood under a tree, smiled at Li Ke, and said, "Tonight, see this beloved." ”
Li Ke took off the face towel, pursed his lips and stared at her, his face was terrifyingly cold.
The man in gray stood aside, just stunned, and whispered, "She handed it over to you, and I will clean it." ”
His voice was very low, and Jiang Chengzi didn't listen carefully, so he didn't expect who he was, but he only intuitively knew him.
"Ah Nian. Jiang Chengzi saw that his face was gloomy, standing still in place, and he shouted crisply.
He still didn't speak, just stood in place, his handsome and immature face was matched with a serious and vicissitudes of life.
Jiang Chengzi saw him like this, so he became anxious, secretly wondering if he had just been injured and couldn't move at the moment.
For a woman with low emotional intelligence, she didn't realize that the other party was angry because she single-handedly challenged the big boss of the Qiang people. She only thought that he must have just been injured, and her heart hung up, so she didn't care about any reserve, and she rushed up with an arrow and asked with concern, "Injured?
She asked, checking for blood on his body.
Li Ke saw that she didn't have any awareness of what she had done wrong, so he could only sigh, hugged her into his arms all of a sudden, and whispered, "I want to beat you." ”
"Why?" Jiang Chengzi obediently leaned into his arms and muttered in question.
"The Qiang people are extremely fierce and have confronted the Han people for many years. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, they were the hidden worries of the Tang Dynasty, and after the Turkic retreat, the Qiang people were the fierce enemies on the Longyou Road. Old General Cheng also almost caught his way. You're acting alone!You—" Li Ke hugged her tightly in his arms, very reproachful.
Jiang Chengzi realized that Li Ke's gloomy face was because he was worried about her. She was happy in her heart, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "I have my own measure." ”
"Are you measured?" Li Ke asked even more angrily.
Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips, flashed his big bright eyes, and said in a begging tone: "Don't be angry, I have my own measure." ”
"Nonsense. Li Keban yelled at him, frightened a few Qiang people who wanted to touch and sneak attack. Subsequently, those people were shot and killed by Xiao Jiu.
Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes and muttered, "I'm not messing around." You know what I'm capable of, these clowns on the other side are more than enough. ”
"Although you have ability, you do not know the height of the sky. Do you know how ruthless this Longdao is? In the past, he was on Longyou Dao. Catch my Tang people, kill them directly, and dry them as military rations. You—" Li Ke shouted. A face that was frighteningly gloomy.
Jiang Chengzi's heart sank when she heard this, knowing that although she had such a move in her chest, and she was also clear about Long Dao's intentions, but for Li Ke, hearing that she was going to fight Long Dao alone, she must have been very anxious.
"I'm sorry. She whispered.
Li Ke hugged her into his arms again and said, "Ah Zi." Don't be so impulsive in the future. God finally gave you and me the opportunity to reunite this time, and I don't want to lose you again. ”
When he said that, his voice trembled hoarsely.
Jiang Chengzi lay in his arms. They all felt his fear. She didn't move, reaching out to hug him.
The mountain wind is fierce, and the surrounding area is a sky-shaking battle. Li Ke brought a group of good hands to catch all the lurking Qiang people. Thrown in the heart of the valley.
"Ah Zi. Since you know that the Qiang people may be in this mountain, you should not act alone, you. After a long time, Li Ke said this again. It's just that the tone of this sentence is really a lot less angry than before.
Jiang Chengzi also became bold, muttering in his arms: "I just want to return to Chang'an as soon as possible." ”
"Why do you want to go back to Chang'an? Chang'an is a place of right and wrong, and I can't wait for you to stay away. Li Ke was very puzzled.
Jiang Chengzi broke free from his arms, straightened his shirt and said, "That's the battlefield for you and me." I don't want to stay away. You're the only one left to fight. ”
When Li Ke heard this, he only looked at him in a daze. Tears glistened in his eyes, but he couldn't speak. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I want you to stay away from right and wrong, you stupid." ”
"If you want me to stay away from right and wrong, you know that I protect you as much as you want to protect me. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile, then jumped lightly, jumped on the side, and continued, "I want to fight side by side with you." ”
"Ah Zi, I don't want you to do your best for me like you did in your previous life. In this life, I will protect you. He said word by word, "Therefore, I want you to stay in Shuzhong and wait for me to plan everything." ”
"I don't want to. Jiang Chengzi directly refused, "I am the person who can stand side by side with you, not the greenhouse flower." ”
"I want to protect my woman from the wind and rain. "He's also stubborn.
Jiang Chengzi looked directly into his eyes, and said very stubbornly: "Then you will guard her, spoil her, and make her happy." ”
"It must be. He looked at her and replied categorically.
Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "At the same time, you can't stop her from guarding her man." ”
"You-" Li Ke's handsome face became gloomy again.
Jiang Chengzi smiled as if her conspiracy had succeeded, and before he could say anything else against it, she immediately changed the subject and asked, "By the way, who is the other person who came with you?" It looks like Qin Ming, but it's not Qin Ming. ”
"Don't you see who he is?" Li Ke raised his eyebrows, his expression was very happy.
"Is it an acquaintance?" Jiang Chengzi also thought it was an acquaintance before, but he just didn't remember who it was. I only felt that the figure was very similar to Qin Ming.
When Li Ke heard this question, his expression couldn't hide his excitement, and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chengzi was puzzled.
Li Ke shook his head with a smile and said, "Without him, without him." ”
"Who is that person?" Jiang Chengzi looked at the man, who was commanding his own people at the moment, and arrested all the Qiang people who were lurking and killing Jiang Chengzi. She looked at it carefully, and the figure was clearly Qin Ming, but that behavior was not like it.
Li Ke walked over, took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "You really didn't see it?"
"I really don't see it. Jiang Chengzi shook his head, and then urged to ask who it was.
Li Ke pursed his lips and didn't speak. Jiang Chengzi looked at him suspiciously, and then at the person, because the person was always masked and had his back to her, so she didn't see it.
"If you don't say it, I'll go and see for myself. Jiang Chengzi said, and was about to jump down the mountain.
Li Ke grabbed her and said, "He is Zhang Jinhua." ”
"Zhang Jinhua?" Jiang Chengzi asked, only to realize that "Zhang Jinhua" was "Zhang Jia", she was stunned, and then sighed in surprise: "Why is he? How can you meet him?" Jiang Chengzi was very suspicious, feeling that there was a lot of gossip in it.
Li Ke glanced at her, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm not familiar with him." However, it was he who sent to inform me that the Qiang people might be hiding in the mountains. And it just so happened that Xiao Jiu had a flying pigeon saying that you were going to go into the mountains to find salt mines in the near future. I was so worried that I came overnight. I met Zhang Jinhua and his people at the entrance of the town this morning. He said that you have been going for a while, and I am afraid that you have arrived in Huojing Village. He temporarily discovered that Longdao was going to be unfavorable to you, so he issued an order from the patriarch of the Zhang clan to summon the children in the vicinity to come quickly. Moreover, he said that the people who were sent to follow you were afraid that they would not be able to follow you. ”
"You also believe him?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically. Judging from the tension they have every time they meet, the two work together, how awkward it looks. She didn't believe that Li Ke would believe Zhang Jia, or that she didn't believe that Zhang Jia would make Li Ke believe it in a few words.
"The Zhang family is a major minister of the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke's answer was perfunctory and official.
Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and said, "It's not sincere." ”
Li Ke glanced at her and said, "Don't ask, you are mine." ”
When Jiang Chengzi heard this answer, he raised his forehead and sighed: "Where is this?" ”
She said to herself, Li Ke was not surprised by the dialect that she often came up with that belonged to her time, so she only clenched her hand and said, "Let's go, go and see those villains." ”
He said as he led her down the mountain. Jiang Chengzi actually hoped that Long Dao would accept her suggestion and surrender to Li Shimin, so that the Qiang people would become the people of the Tang Dynasty and live a stable life in this area, no longer wandering around. In this way, the rebellion of the Qiang people in Longyou Dao was lifted, and at the same time, the Qiang people could also be peaceful.
But now, Long Dao is dead. The Qiang people are afraid that it will not be easy to compromise. On the other hand, the Qiang people are now in the hands of Li Ke and Zhang Jia, and they are considered to have fallen into the hands of the imperial court. Although these two are still young people, they are also ruthless masters.
"How will these people be treated?" Jiang Chengzi asked directly.
"Said that you had a meritorious role in killing and let you go back to Chang'an?" Li Ke glanced at her.
As soon as Jiang Chengzi heard this, he knew that these hundreds of people were afraid that they would be more than lucky. Even though she was used to seeing life and death, she still couldn't help frowning, and she was very reluctant in her heart.
She didn't speak, but Li Ke continued: "Don't think about it, if you want to go back to Chang'an, you can, but you must not go back because of this." ”
"I know it. You are mistaken. I don't want to have the credit of the Qiang people alone, so as to go back and forth to Chang'an. If my knowledge stops there, I don't deserve to meet you Li Ke. She called him by his first name, not by Ah Nian.
Li Ke knew that she was angry, so he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, sighed, and said, "I'd rather I only know your brilliance." However, I know that this is a fool's dream. But, no matter what, I want to protect you. Ah Zi, whether you wanted to kill Longdao before, or you wanted to subdue the Qiang people. I'm not going to let you take it. ”
"I don't want to take credit for this, I just want to find the salt mine, return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and enter the Gewu Academy. She muttered. (To be continued.) )
