Chapter 22
"You little devil is really hateful!" Changsheng waved his palm and slapped it on Ah Tuan's buttocks, "What a Turkic Khan, it's just a little doll, and it even causes everyone to calculate!"
Ah Tuan was in pain, and opened his mouth to bite Changsheng's shoulder: "You slave, don't your master want to harm the lonely king!" As he spoke, he actually put down the white tiger in his arms, "Ah Yan, go quickly!"
The little white tiger jumped off Changsheng's back with agility, took light steps and fled quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the white tiger had run away, Ah Tuan showed a smug look on his face: "Do you think that this will make the Lone King a wronged ghost?" Let me tell you, Liangzhou City is empty of troops, if you don't want to be surrounded and suppressed by the Turkic cavalry that the Lone King and the Queen Mother are ambushed here within half a day, let the Lone King go now!"
"Do you think that now that I let you go, you will be able to avoid death? mud, don't forget that there is a Helan Yue right now!" I stepped forward and hugged Ah Tuan, "Changsheng, where is Jiulang now?"
A white horse galloped over, Changsheng turned over and got on the horse, "The princess comes with me, and the general is not far ahead!" In the rain of guns and arrows, I wrapped myself in a thick cowhide felt, hugged Ah Tuan tightly in my arms, and leaned over the back seat and didn't dare to move.
"Changsheng!" There was a sound of horses' hooves behind me, and I looked back to see that Helan Yue was the first to catch up with the long knife. "Helan Yue has caught up!"
"Okay, you Princess Zhaoyuan, hand him over to me!" Helan Yue shouted at me, his face fierce. As soon as the whip of the immortal horse was raised, the white horse neighed, speeding up its gallop.
"Who can run faster than me, the people of the Central Plains are really overwhelmed!" Helan Yue threatened viciously, his words were very frivolous, he rode his horse to catch up, and the scimitar in his hand was raised, bursting out with a cold light in the sun. I felt dizzy as my eyes were pierced by the light of the knife. Just as I was in a trance, I suddenly sat down and my whole body sank. When Helan Yue's hand rose and fell, the horse's hind legs were cut off by the scimitar in his hand.
"Phew-" The white horse neighed violently, and his whole body leaned forward and fell to the ground, shaking countless yellow sands. I rolled a few meters away in the loess with Ah Tuan in my arms, and when I gritted my teeth and barely supported my sore body, I saw Helan Yue raising his hooves and running in my direction from the yellow sand, and the black shadow holding a scimitar, like a messenger of death.
I felt the placket of my chest being tightly clutched by Ah Tuan, and I couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you have a hard mouth just now? After all, I was still a child." ”
"Aren't you afraid?"
"If you're afraid, can you live? I don't have time to be afraid. The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, shaking the yellow sand around them, and even the earth began to tremble faintly. I couldn't see the direction of Changsheng clearly, and I couldn't see the soldiers and horses coming behind Helan Yue like a black tide. I stroked my messy bun and comforted Ah Tuan softly: "Ah Tuan don't be afraid, hug Ah Tuan!"
Helan Yue galloped in, and as soon as I leaned down and passed under the horse's belly, the raised hooves of the horse brushing over my cheeks, and my back pressed against the ground. "Whoa-" sounded, a heavy blood came, I held Ah Tuan in one hand and held the golden hairpin in the other, the sharp hairpin pierced the horse's belly, and with a strong momentum, a long wound was cut, and the warm blood poured all over my body like a torrential rain. When I looked up, I saw a piece of entrail peeking out of the horse's belly. The tall horse above my head began to struggle violently, and I almost collapsed, but I resisted the discomfort in my heart and clung out from under the horse's crotch.
I got up again, but there was still no sign of immortality in all directions. But seeing that Helan Yue also shook his body and stood up from the yellow sand, his embarrassed face was full of murderous intentions. "Now see how you escape!"
The whole earth began to shake violently. Helan Yue looked at me as if he were looking at something in a cage. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand, and with a wave of his hand, countless soldiers and horses rushed behind him, "Whoever prevents me from ascending the throne must die!"
"If you want to ascend to the throne, then you must pay the price at this moment!" I watched the army behind Helan Yue getting closer and closer, put down Ah Tuan in my arms, stretched out a bloodstained hand and grabbed him tightly, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth in front of Helan Yue.
"You are still hard-mouthed when you are dying, since you want to spoil my big thing, I can't care about the relationship with the Central Plains!" Helan Yue took a step back, "Release the arrow!"
Helan Yue gave an order, and the sound of the hammer buzzed again, and thousands of white feathered long arrows were like locusts flying in the sky, surging from all directions. The smile on Helan Yue's face became more and more obvious, and the wind whistled by, suddenly freezing in an extremely distorted expression.
With the bloody wind and sand brushing my cheeks, Helan Yue bent her knees in front of my eyes and fell straight to her knees, staring at me and Ah Tuan with wide eyes and horror, as if she had suffered some great pain.
With a "plop", Helan Yue fell to the ground, with long arrows stuck in his back. The bubbling red blood flowed like a stream, Ah Tuan looked down at the blood stains winding under his feet, and asked me chi: "Hey, what's wrong with him?"
"He's dead. I replied lightly. When the dust settled, I could see the horses galloping towards me. Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, which is the most unpredictable alliance between Yuwen Qiye and the arrogant Helan Yue.
Changsheng turned over and dismounted, and ran towards me in a few steps, and countless Shence troops wearing cold iron armor behind him put away their blades, straddled their horses and saluted me: "Participate in the Zhaoyuan Princess!"
The majestic voice shook the sky and reverberate, all of which were agitated shouts poured in iron and copper. Memories go back four years ago, and I met God again, I am no longer the girl who was trapped by love on the gate of Seibu Castle, and my relatives are down, and I don't know that I can be so lonely and brave when I am in danger.
"Boom-" With a bang, the yellow sand-filled sky suddenly exploded with golden sparks, like a hundred birds contending, and it was destroyed in the western sky in an instant.
I looked sideways, Ah Tuan looked at the sky quietly, the expression on his face was flat, and he moved his mouth as if he was talking to himself: "They went to ......"
I chuckled in my heart, and immediately reacted, "Changsheng! Quickly pass the general, Liangzhou is about to fall! Turn around, we will meet in Liangzhou!"
I rode my horse and galloped, and my heart was pounding. "Princess!" Changsheng chased after him, "I can't hide anything from you anymore!"
As soon as the reins tightened in my hand, the horse's steps instantly panicked. I suppressed the foreboding that was surging in my heart and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The general was seriously wounded and did not recover. This time, the encirclement and suppression of the general went into battle in person, but he could only guard the rear! Helan Yue took advantage of the danger of the people to threaten Liangzhou, and the general had no choice but to form an alliance with him! Now that Helan Yue is dead, and the Turks are in civil strife, he will make peace with his relatives! In accordance with the general's will, I implore the princess not to interfere in this matter again and to return to the court as soon as possible!"
"What are you talking about?" I raised my voice suddenly, "Who does he Yuwen Qiye regard as my Gao Xingyue? He died for me, how can I be greedy for life! This time I vow to advance and retreat with him!"
I raised my whip and fell hard, the horse's hooves disturbed my heart, I thought about it for a while, and with a ruthless heart, I dragged Ah Tuan from Changsheng's horse, and ordered the Shence army behind me: "Changsheng led ten people to pass on the general, telling him that Liangzhou was in trouble, and Zhaoyuan tied up the Turkic Khan. Teach him to quickly seek support from other state capitals!
The bumpy horseback almost wanted to shake the human bones apart, and Ah Tuan struggled desperately at first, but now his face was already turned blue. "Before, you called yourself a sister, and the lonely king thought that you were really saving the lonely king. If you want to stop the siege with the Lone King, you should die as soon as possible! Do you think that when you arrive, there are still a few people alive in Liangzhou?"
"Shut up!" I scolded, "who taught you to dance at such a young age?"
"Do you need someone else to teach this?" Ah Tuan mocked, "You also live in the palace, aren't you?"
His rhetorical question made me stunned, my nose was inexplicably sour, and even my words softened, "I'm the same as you, so I won't really hurt you." Ah Tuan's expression was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hint of suspicion. I smiled at him and tightened my grip on the reins.
Ah Tuan reached out and grabbed my tattered wedding dress, and after a while, he turned his head and whispered, "The way you smiled just now looks like my queen mother'......"
The wind and sand blew across my cheeks, and the corners of my eyes hurt.
I worked hard with Shence, and finally arrived at Liangzhou City in the early morning of the next day. The night hung down its hideous ten fingers, tightly surrounding this dead and silent border city, and the wind was terrible, as if someone was crying and whimpering.
Today's New Moon, there are only a few bleak cold stars scattered at night. I stood under the city gate, raised my head and saw that the lights on the tower of Liangzhou City were bright, and there were several sounds of beating in the city, which gradually weakened, revealing an indescribable weirdness.
"Princess, beware of ambush......es," a Divine Strategy leader reminded in a low voice, quiet in all directions, without a trace of popularity. Ah Tuan fell asleep on my back, and I gestured with my eyes, and he immediately waved to the god behind him in understanding. I only heard the sound of weapons clicking on the load, and countless Shence soldiers set up bows and arrows and long crossbows, surrounding Chengluo.
According to common sense, with the siege of the Turkic army, Liangzhou must have fallen at this moment. Yuwen Qi was injured at night, and his leg strength was much slower than ours, and there was no movement in the city at this moment, which was even more strange. Whether this is an empty city plan or a rabbit is really puzzling. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the previous quietly gets rid of the son Helan Yue, and then attacks Liangzhou when the tiger leaves the mountain. This Turkic empress dowager really lives up to her name.
"You lie in ambush here, and I will go up to the castle tower to find out. I handed Ah Tuan into the hands of the leader of the Shence, and said with a solemn face, "If there is anything unusual, tell me! You try your best to attack the city, I will take advantage of the chaos to light the beacon tower of the city tower, and I must hold out until the general leads the soldiers and horses of other state capitals to come to support!"
The leader of Shence was stunned, and then showed a look of admiration to me, "Rest assured, the princess will not fail in her mission and swear to protect the safety of Liangzhou and the princess!"
