Chapter 247: Saved
Since Lin Nan came to this plane, he had never been so wolfish, and he was really angry and hateful when he saw that the road ahead had been piled up with sand and stones.
Mutter...... Mutter......
The two crickets flew by, and the cry was terrible, and the hearts of the soldiers were even colder, and at this moment, of course, the drums sounded, and then the copper horns on all sides rang out in unison.
"Huh?" Lin Nan was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, and all the generals and soldiers were also shocked, and they barely clenched the weapons in their hands one by one, but their feet were already trembling.
The rebels around were waiting for work, and suddenly they came out. Countless rebels swooped down on the Sui army with all kinds of weapons such as nine-curved knives, whistle sticks, hoes and spears.
Swish! Brush Brush Brush!
Just when the Sui army was retreating one after another, a group of rebels suddenly came out of the rear, although there were only seven or eight hundred rebels, but they were all armed with bows and crossbows, and they shot head-on.
A swarm of crossbow arrows flew through the body! The two armies were not far apart, and the power of the crossbow arrows at close range was like that of muskets, and the penetration was extremely strong. In an instant, the hundreds of flesh and blood bodies of the Sui army were like stabbed water bags, and they fell soft, and viscous bright red blood spurted out from the arrow holes on their bodies.
The Sui army had neither the body nor the fighting spirit, and after being hit hard by this, they still had the fighting spirit one by one, and they scattered and fled for their lives. Fortunately, the rebels didn't seem to be familiar with crossbow arrows, so it was difficult to shoot accurately at the Sui army that was scattered and fleeing, but it was still the case, and the Sui army was gone.
"Your Majesty, there are ambushes in front to intercept, and crossbow arrows in the back, the left is a cliff, and the right is the Qi River, I'm afraid we will definitely die!" Gao Dehong didn't care about any courtesies of the monarch and ministers at this time, and he didn't speak so politely.
Lin Nan's hand holding the sword was already numb, and under this shape, he was afraid that he was really going to die, and there were many civil and military generals around him, but everyone was panicked and didn't know what to do.
The Sui army was about to be annihilated, and although the rebels were not many in number, they were more than enough to deal with the hundreds of guards around Lin Nan. At this time, Jieluo suddenly grabbed Lin Nan and said, "Your Majesty, let the concubines cross the river with you." ”
"...... you, Luo'er?" Lin Nan looked at her weak body and couldn't believe that she could cross the river by herself, and the generals couldn't believe it, Hou Junji waved his big knife and shouted: "Your Majesty, the ministers and you will kill you, and if you fight for your life, you will definitely protect the emperor."
"No way!" Jieluo vetoed him loudly, knelt down at Lin Nan and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been well aware of water since she was a child, and she will be able to cross the river with you, please don't hesitate!" ”
"Luo'er!" Lin Nan helped her up, moved to tears.
"Your Majesty, when the interruption continues, but suffer from its chaos, now the situation is critical, even if the generals fight for their lives, it is difficult to fight out of the encirclement, it is better to listen to the words of the Loli people, let her bear you across the river, maybe there is a glimmer of life." After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Zhuge Zhi also bowed on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, you should make a decision quickly!" ”
Lin Nan looked around and asked in a trembling voice, "Then ...... you?"
"Your Majesty, since we have followed the emperor, we have been reused, and our minds are sufficient, what are the regrets of dying!" Hou Junji said that the crowd was passionate, and everyone agreed with each other.
"Hugh is leaving, Yang Yu!" At this time, the Imperial Forest Army has been completely annihilated, and the rebels have exchanged hands with the guards, although the Ouchi guards are all masters of one and ten, but because they are too tired, it is difficult to resist the more than 1,000 rebels.
"Protect the Emperor!" Hou Junji threw away the big sword, picked up the sword and rushed over, and the rest of the generals followed.
"Your Majesty, go away!" Wei Zheng pushed Lin Nan, Jieluo took advantage of the momentum to pull him, and the two grabbed their arms and jumped down the icy Qi River.
When Wei Zheng saw the two of them going into the water, he also pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted: "Those who know martial arts roughly, follow me to kill the traitor!" This sentence led all the civil officials, whether they knew martial arts or not, to draw their swords and kill Wei Zheng.
There are a lot of Sui Jun's heads, stumps and corpses floating in the Qi River, Jieluo can never carry Lin Nan, what she said is just pulling Lin Nan's arm, barely swimming with one hand, Lin Nan can't swim at all, so he can't help at all, he can only learn from her and barely flutter a few times, but it doesn't help.
"There's someone in the river!" At this time, the rebel crossbowmen suddenly saw Lin Nan and Jieluo in the water, and the leader squinted his eyes and saw that it was a man wearing a dragon robe, and immediately exclaimed: "The dog emperor wants to run, go into the water and chase after him!" ”
But the rebels glared at each other, and the group was full of landlubbers, and none of them knew how to water.
"Rubbish!" The leader snorted, and seeing that he could not catch up with them, he suddenly ordered the arrows to be released.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows rained down on the two of them, Rao is group of people are not good at archery, but they can't stand the number of feather arrows, Lin Nan was still hit by an arrow in his arm, and he screamed in pain.
"Your Majesty!" Jia Luo was shocked, and she didn't know that the strength from there actually grabbed half of his body with one arm and swam towards the opposite bank, but in this way, she completely became an arrow target, and seven or eight feather arrows were hit in the back one after another, and the blood slid down the snow-white skin and flowed into the cold water of the Qi River.
She didn't have any strength anymore, but at this time she was only a meter away from the opposite bank, and Jieluo used her last bit of strength to push Lin Nan, who took advantage of the situation to pounce forward and grab the wild grass on the shore and climb up.
Jieluo breathed the last sigh of relief, her body was soft, and the weight of the crossbow arrow on her back was pressed, and she slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
"Luo'er!" Lin Nan was heartbroken, but he couldn't get back that wisp of soul smoke.
"Kill!" At this time, the sound of killing in the distance started again, and the overwhelming people and horses rolled over, Lin Nan still wanted to take revenge, and didn't want to die like this, so he held up his sword and ran up the path on the mountain on the opposite bank.
At this time, Hou Junji and his people were already at the end of the crossbow, and when they saw another man in the distance, they thought it was the fate of the rebels, and suddenly they didn't even have the last bit of energy.
"I can't imagine that I, Hou Junji, will die here!" After he finished speaking, he raised his head to the sky and shouted, and was about to kill himself, when he suddenly heard the distant people shouting: "Don't worry, the emperor is here to protect the children from Luzhou to come to the rescue!" ”
"What!" Hou Junji put down his sword and took two steps back and shouted: "Everyone resist, our fate soldiers have arrived!" ”
It turned out that this team of men and horses was rescued by Luzhou Jingluo to protect the children and Chuzhou to pacify Sima Nan, and now the guards and generals suddenly became angry, and fought with the rebels to fight with the last strength, but the rebels were caught off guard by this sudden new force, most of the dead and wounded, and the rest all fled.
"Your Majesty!" Lai Hu'er and Sima Nan rushed to the front, Hou Junji stepped forward and grabbed Lai Hu'er and said: "The emperor has escaped from the mountains on the other side, send someone to find it!" ”
"Huh?" The two of them were frightened, and the rebels haunted their blindness, and if they lost the emperor again, they would definitely die. Come to think of this. Lai Hu'er hurriedly ordered the army to wade through the water to find it, and Sima Nan took the remaining generals and Wenchen to Chuzhou.
Although the arrow wound on Lin Nan's arm was not serious, but the bleeding did not stop, it would endanger his life, he did not know that the rebels had retreated at this time, so he could only desperately flee to the mountain, in order to avoid the pursuers, he first broke the arrow, and then lost the dragon robe, and ran into the mountains and woods with his sword.
After running for a while, he was already overdrawn, and he barely moved forward with his sword propped up.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the other side of the woods, and it was impossible to see who it was in the darkness. Lin Nan was shocked at first, but when the visitor approached, he saw that she was carrying a bamboo basket and that she was a middle-aged woman, so she was a little relieved, her body was weak, and she fell to the ground.
"How are you?" The middle-aged woman had a good heart. Seeing Lin Nan falling, he hurriedly ran two steps and followed.
"I'm fine." Lin Nan swallowed heavily, his face turned pale, and blood was still oozing out of his arms.
"You have lost too much blood, and if you continue like this, you will definitely die." The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows, and untied the bamboo basket, only to see that it contained colored leaves, roots, stems and other things, which seemed to be herbs.
The woman took a few leaves and chewed them twice, and then said to Lin Nan: "I'll help you pull out the broken arrow, you bear with it." ”
Lin Nan nodded, knowing that she was trying to save herself, the woman clenched her hand and pulled out the broken arrow hard, Lin Nan screamed in pain, and the beads of sweat on her forehead fell, although he knew that it would hurt, but he didn't expect it to hurt so much into the bone marrow, which was unbearable.
The woman quickly applied the chewed herbs to his wound, and seeing that these were not enough, she took some more chews before dressing the wound. Then he quickly pulled the placket of his shirt and bandaged the wound, and tied it tightly so that the herbs could be better combined with the wound.
"Okay, the bleeding has stopped." The middle-aged woman's hands are full of blood, but she is not disgusted, and her heart is indeed very good.
"Thank you, I will definitely repay you." Lin Nan knew that the pursuers were coming, and wanted to stand up, but his limbs were weak.
"Don't move, you've lost too much blood right now, so you shouldn't move around." The woman squatted down with concern and said.
After hearing this, Lin Nan shook his head and replied: "My talented enemy is about to chase after me, and if I don't leave, I will be killed by them." ”
"Huh?" The woman was taken aback, but she didn't run away immediately, but pondered for a while and said, "There is a family in the col ahead, that family has a good heart, and they will definitely take you in, I still have something to do, so I can't go with you." ”
"Okay, don't worry, when I get away from this enemy, I won't forget you." Lin Nanti stood up with his sword in one breath, but immediately fell down again because of the overdraft.
"Ambiguous!" The woman ran over to help him up, shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Forget it, I'll send you over first." ”
"Your great virtue, I ...... I really can't repay it. Lin Nan looked at her with a grateful look.
"If you don't report it, you are also a bitter person, so you can help it." The woman said as she helped Lin Nan and walked forward slowly.
In the night, the two of them walked for another half an hour, and vaguely saw a star in the col in front of them, and the woman stretched out her hand and pointed to the direction of the firelight and said: "There are two little sisters living in that house, who make a living by collecting medicine, and I am usually familiar with me, you just need to say that Aunt Liu called you here in the past, they are very soft-hearted and will not treat you badly." ”
"Won't you come with me?" Lin Nan glanced at her and asked.
Second Aunt Liu sighed and said, "No, if I don't go at night, I won't be able to get to the city tomorrow morning, my husband just broke his foot, how can I do without good medicine." As he spoke, sadness rose from his heart.
"Hey, auntie, don't worry, when I escape, I will definitely take you to Luoyang, so that you can be raised." Lin Nan swore an oath, but how could the woman take it seriously, she just sighed and said, "I don't need you to repay anything, it's just a gesture, you can go quickly." ”
"Okay." Lin Nan took a step with his sword in his hand, and the aunt turned around and hurried north.
Listening to his hurried footsteps, Lin Nan's heart suddenly sank: "If she meets the rebels here, she will definitely reveal my whereabouts, and then I will be told how to escape in this mountain pass." ”
Thinking of this, Lin Nan suddenly raised his sword and caught up with a few steps and shouted, "Auntie, please stay." ”
"Huh? What's up? The woman walked over and asked.
"What other relatives do you have in your family besides your husband?" Lin Nan's voice was cold when he said this.
But the woman didn't realize it, thinking that he wanted to repay herself, shook her head and sighed and said, "No, it's just the two of us, and my son is tired of building the canal." ”
"Then don't worry, when I return to the court, I will definitely give your husband glory and wealth!" The cold light flashed, blood splattered all over her face, and Lin Nan's long sword shot out, cutting off the woman's head, because only in this way would she not let out a scream.
The woman's body slowly fell, Lin Nan slowly knelt down with one knee on the sword, bowed his head and said: "I am the lord of the world, I can't just die, when I return to the court, I will definitely make you a loyal lady, and I will also give your husband gold and silver beauties, and I will never lose my word." ”
After worshipping, Lin Nan dragged her corpse and head aside, cut some messy wood branches to cover them, and then took a deep breath and walked towards the col.
After only walking such a section of the trail down the mountain, Lin Nan felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet, he knew that these were signs of excessive blood loss, but with his will, he still barely managed to reach the door of the hut in the mountain col, and reached out to buckle the door twice.
"Who could it be so late?" The two little sisters in the house muttered, and the elder sister asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" ”
Her voice was tactful and soft, if she had changed her usual life, I was afraid that Lin Nan would be distracted again, but at this time he was already about to faint, and he was still in the mood to think about that, so he could only reluctantly answer: "It was Aunt Liu who called me here, I was chased and killed by the enemy, I was seriously injured, and I wanted to spend the night here with the girl, so I ...... it" The last word was not spoken, the person had already fallen, and the long sword made a loud sound.
"It was Aunt Liu who called him." The younger sister was about to open the door, but the elder sister grabbed her and signaled him not to make a sound, while she quietly touched the door and listened to the movement outside.
"How?" My sister blinked and only made a lip shape, but did not speak.
"This man seems to be dizzy!" My sister opened the door as she spoke, and sure enough, she saw Lin Nan lying on the ground motionless.
"Ah, it can't be dead!" My sister came up first to probe his snort, and then patted her chest and sighed: "It's okay, I can't die, I'm just too weak." ”
"He just said that he was seriously injured, it seems that what he said is true, there are not many people who know our sisters, since it was said that Aunt Liu asked him to come, it should be true." My sister was analyzing, and my sister sighed impatiently, raised Lin Nan's arm and said, "How can he be a bad guy if he is so weak, let's help him in first." ”
My sister heard what my sister said well, so she also helped Lin Nan in from outside the door, and picked up the Longquan sword on the ground by the way. (To be continued.) )
