334. in the first place
Ruyan responded softly outside the house, lowered her head and gently tugged down her skirt, picked up the bamboo curtain with her bare hands, and persuaded in a gentle whisper: "Miss, it's not early, the prince has just come back from the palace, and his body is not yet well, so it's not too late to talk about anything another day." β
This is to persuade her to think in the long run, Gu Manman heard the meaning of her words, and his face gradually relaxed, "Then I'll go back to the room, brother pay attention to his body." β
Although he was reluctant, but he had compromised, Gu Yi let out a long breath in his heart, he would not let go of the Xia family, but now is not the time, he took out the letter in his arms and read it again, his father left him such a letter before he went to Chuangui, it was nothing more than that he didn't want him to continue to get involved in this mess, but there were some things he had to do.
Ruyan sent Gu Manman back to the house, turned back again, and saw that Gu Yi was in a daze, so she stepped forward lightly and lit the incense in the room.
Gu Yi came back to his senses, glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "Withdraw the incense." β
Ruyan paused, looked back at him, and heard his next sentence come out, "...... I hurt my heart, and I couldn't smell the burning smell of incense. β
She hurriedly buried the lit incense in the ashes and extinguished it, and even the little golden stove with the incense had the little maid move out of the inner room.
"Lord Shizi, the eldest lady's mood is getting worse and worse these days......"
Ru Yan whispered, a pair of smart eyes blinked.
Gu Yi frowned, "What did she do to make you embarrassed again?"
Ru Yan sighed and said, "Since the eldest lady has been in charge of Zhongfang, she has taught several young ladies in the house in a row, and the third young lady is still sick, so she was sent to the nunnery by the eldest lady......"
"These are just trivial things, Manman is uncomfortable in her heart, and it doesn't matter if she vents," Gu Yi waved his hand indifferently, "Wait a few days, there will be a time when she will be happy." β
Although the words were ambiguous, Ru Yan was keenly aware of Gu Yi's absent-mindedness.
ββ¦β¦ There is also the matter of the Qingye Palace," Ru Yan's soft words were like a breeze in her ears, "Do you see if you are helping the eldest lady to deal with the aftermath?" I heard that the Chengbo Houfu has already made a marriage with the fourth lady of the Xia Mansion, and the eldest lady acted a little crazy in those days, if it is found out, I am afraid that the reputation of the Ningguo Mansion is not very good..."
Gu Yi's eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered softly, "Qingye Palace...... Since they are reckless, it is not a problem, let Songyan deal with this matter, he knows what to do. β
Ruyan nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt and retreated.
β¦β¦
The view on the hillside was excellent, Chu Shaoyuan's eyes stared at the caravan that was gradually approaching from a distance, and the ominous feeling became heavier and heavier, until they approached, Chu Shaoyuan found that everyone in the caravan was wearing a waist knife, which was almost unseen in the caravan of the Yan people.
Not to mention whether the people in the caravan are martial arts, just to say that everyone is equipped with weapons in this way, it is difficult to get out of the customs.
When he followed Bai Lang out of the customs before, the weapons of Bai Lang's team of men and horses were hidden in the mezzanine of the carriage, and the people of the entire caravan did not exceed ten people with weapons in their hands, and the generals guarding the customs at that time obviously released water, and they did not even check the goods on the carriage in detail, so they let them go, but the caravan in front of them was full of strangeness, the carriages were very large, and each car was loaded with several wooden boxes, but the marks on the wheels on the ground were very shallow, not like there were any goods hidden on it.
Bai Lang pondered for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Chu Shaoyuan, who had never spoken, and found that he was looking at the caravan in the distance with a solemn face, and said suspiciously: "Yishu, what did you find?"
Chu Shaoyuan pointed to the caravan that was about to walk in front of them, "Don't you think it's strange......?
Before he had finished speaking, the group of men and horses sprang up, and the horses galloped over, and the sound of their hooves echoed over the empty hillside, as fast as their movements, and seemed to encircle them in an instant.
"You ...... Who are you?" asked Bai Lang in a loud voice.
Before the words fell, the weapons in the hands of the team were unsheathed, and the green and cold blades reflected the light of the sun, splashing in all directions, without a trace of fancy movements, but every attack was a killing move, such a number of roads were so familiar.
Chu Shaoyuan dodged quickly, his brows furrowed, the last time he experienced such a thing was in Songxi Town, he didn't expect people to come so quickly.
Bai Lang pulled out his waist knife to resist the menacing attack of this group of people, and shouted loudly as he retreated: "Zaba!
Zhaba and Ah Li stood not far from them, because Bai Lang had something to talk to Chu Shaoyuan, so the two of them did not follow, at this moment they heard Bai Lang's voice, and rode over on horseback, and the horsewhip hit the head of the war horse dullly, and the war horse immediately spread its hooves and ran.
Even then, it was a little late.
There was a cold wind whistling in their ears, and the caravan men and horses were using slender scimitars, the blades were extremely thin, and they could tear off a piece of flesh with a single knife, and the eyes of those people were cold and sharp, with a frightening coldness.
During the fight, Chu Shaoyuan gradually noticed that something was wrong, these people seemed to be coming towards Bai Lang, although they surrounded the two of them, they were obviously more killing moves towards Bai Lang than him.
Bai Lang's body had already been cut several times, he slashed the leg of the horse that rushed to the front with a knife, turned over and knocked the blade in the man's hand away, Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly dodged to catch the blade, and was next to Bai Lang, resisting the attack behind him.
The opposite formation immediately opened a gap, Zaba and Ah Li jumped in on horseback, blocking the blade that slashed at Bai Lang, the stirrups on his feet were thrown away by him, and a kick flew up and kicked directly on the chest of the opponent, with a "click" sound, and I don't know if it was a few bones broken. The man on the opposite horse turned pale, but the slender scimitar in his hand made a clever move, broke free, and the next moment pierced into Ah Li's waist.
Blood splattered out, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Chu Shaoyuan had just defused the attack in front of him, and when he turned his head, he saw Bai Lang covered in blood, and the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind him, he stabbed the knife obliquely with his backhand, and the blade in his hand shook, and the blade stabbed into the man's calf, and the green blade in the man's hand cut straight down, Chu Shaoyuan was a little slower, and a cut was immediately opened in his arm, and scarlet blood gushed out in an instant, and the pain made him almost unable to hold the knife.
He followed the direction of the knife, dragged the man down, raised the knife in his hand, and nailed the man directly to the ground, the man's eyes widened suddenly, and he struggled a few times, and then fell to the ground like a puddle of dead meat, motionless, the horse behind him gasped, mixed with the smell of grass and blood, and the cold was overwhelming.
Suddenly hearing Bai Lang roaring behind him, Chu Shaoyuan subconsciously turned his head, and saw at a glance that Zaba, who was covered in blood, was protecting Bai Lang with one hand, blocking the attacks on the left and right with the other, he was hit by several knives in his body, one arm was cut deep to the bone, his face was like gold leaf, and he looked like he was about to reach the limit.
"Die!" Bai Lang roared, slashing the knife diagonally from the bottom up, blocking the man's fatal blow to Zaba, and then slashed off the man's head with another swing.
More and more people died in the caravan, but there was no sadness on the faces of those people, but their eyes became more and more cold, and when they met those eyes, they couldn't feel that they were the eyes of a living person.
Chu Shaoyuan took a deep breath of the smell of blood in the air, and his eyes, which were usually as translucent as amber, became dark and dull at the moment, as thick as night, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like a black panther ready to attack.
He jumped onto Zaba's war horse, and the long knife was sliced, and the long knife was sliced, and he was suffering from the new stalks, and he was braised and simmered, and he was Ξ yellow
The war horse passed Bai Lang, Chu Shaoyuan ignored the pain in his left arm, pulled Bai Lang onto the horse's back, and the war horse faced the soft wind and went straight to a bare forest next to Lake Belga. The sound of horses' hooves behind him followed like a shadow, like a pack of wolves that had captured their prey, and how could they watch their prey escape again.
Chu Shaoyuan rode his horse forward in a panic, and walked out of the winding woods path, and the sound of the horse's hooves behind him followed him reluctantly, and a sound of breaking wind came, Chu Shaoyuan immediately bent down on the horse's back, and the scimitar flew obliquely above his head, cutting off the hair that Chu Shaoyuan had pulled up, and the crow's hair hung heavily on the back of his head, scattering in the wind.
"Bai Lang, where can I go to the tribe?"
Chu Shaoyuan asked the person in front of him in a low voice, and suddenly found that the other party had been motionless since he was taken into the grove, he hurriedly looked down, Bai Lang's eyes were closed, his face was splashed with whose blood, and even a drop of scarlet blood hung on his eyelashes, and he was crumbling with the horse's gallop, from his point of view, it seemed that Bai Lang was very sad, and even his tears were red.
He reached out to probe Bai Lang's snort, and breathed a sigh of relief as he sprayed some warm breath on his fingers.
The sound of the horse's hooves behind him was still in pursuit, Chu Shaoyuan patted the horse with his hand fiercely, and the war horse under him galloped faster, since Bai Lang had fainted, he had to go around in a circle outside for the time being, and he didn't know whose territory he had broken into, but he buried Bai Lang's life in vain.
I don't know how far he ran, until the sound of the horse's hooves behind him gradually dispersed, and he couldn't hear it anymore, Chu Shaoyuan let the horse's speed slow down, he looked around, and the outside of the gate was really desolate, and he ran so far, except for the bare woods, which was a pasture full of barren and tall grass, or it was an empty hillside, and he couldn't even find a place for Tibetans.
He pulled the horse into the cave, and lifted Bai Lang off the horse's back, and he didn't know where he touched him, his brows furrowed tightly, and he whispered a Tatar language, as if he was crying out in pain.
Chu Shaoyuan shook his head helplessly, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and the last few pills seemed to be unable to be saved.
