Chapter 128: Unveiling the Rods (7)
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days have passed.
Mu Qing was busy in the suburbs of the city every day, and when he returned to the house at dusk, no matter how anxiously he called his aunt around his knees, he was unable to hug him, once or twice, in the middle of the bath, he leaned on the edge of the bucket and fell asleep, and almost slipped into the water. So bluffed that Ah Liu no longer dared to leave her side when she was bathing, and slept next to the pillow at night.
The next day, the tent was busy in and out, rushing the work of the servants himself, and the servants and maids brought by the patriarch Sun were trembling, and every time she took over the work in their hands, they had to follow with their heads down, and they did not dare to really rest.
He Suizhao stood aside with his arms crossed and said to her with a hippie face: "You have taken over the work of your servants and maids, haven't you cut off your livelihood and created karma?" ”
Mu Qingqi glanced at him, unintentionally answering his words, and tried her best to lift a basket of soaked and washed rice, but the basket was too heavy, and she bent down twice to lift it. He Suizhao stretched out a hand, put it on the edge of the basket, and lifted more than half of it for her, "Where do you want to put it?" ”
Mu Qing didn't have a trace of expression on his face, he casually raised his hand and pointed at the cauldron, and the two of them carried the basket to that place together.
He Suizhao said softly as he walked: "Brother Du is all right in Hejin. ”
Because of this, she turned her head to look at him, and a look of urgency or excitement immediately appeared on her face, "When will you return?" ”
He Suizhao froze and stared straight at her face for a long time, "Aside from the matter related to Brother Du, do you really want to say more to me?" ”
Mu Qing lowered his eyes, silently carried the other side of the basket, and stood quietly in front of him, he almost wanted to raise his hand to pull her to his eyes, and ask a good question, but he still remembered the piece of rice basket given by Yu Hang Po Temple, if he could meet her earlier than Du Keming, if he saw her for the second time in the Eastern Capital, she was not married......
After all, he couldn't ask, he was very afraid of her smile and shook her head, and forcibly suppressed the agitation that was surging in his heart, stood firmly, stared at her motionless for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Now that there is a big victory, there are still more than 1,000 people who are unwilling to surrender and break through, just wait for the next two days to be suppressed, and they will come back." If he is safe, you can rest assured that you do not have to tire yourself out of time to worry about him. ”
Mu Qing pulled up a faint smile, said "thank you" softly, and turned to leave.
He Suizhao pursed his lips, and smiled helplessly and exaggeratedly, "The word 'thank you', but it's worth a thousand gold, Qi Niang plans to use this word every time to deal with ......"
He snapped his flamboyant tone, and in an instant his face changed drastically, like a deer in the wilderness that had spotted wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, and was instantly alert. Before Mu Qing could see his face clearly, he dragged his arm and pushed him forward, and then heard his voice suddenly become cold, "Go, go!" Into the woods! Run as fast as you can! ”
Mu Qing was pushed forward by him, and when he raised his head again, he was shocked to see that in the dark forest, the warriors with strong bows and crossbows all appeared from behind the thick trees, holding the crossbow and raising their arms, and the one holding the big bow had opened the bowstring and mounted three consecutive flying arrows. All of them are solemn, as if facing a great enemy.
Several lightning flashes instantly flashed through her mind, and the ground under her feet was faintly rumbling, and she knew that it must be bad, and the shouting of horses' hooves behind her sounded almost at the same time as the first scream. Running towards the forest under his feet, he turned his head and looked at it, and out of nowhere, dozens of strongmen in ragged clothes galloped in, carrying swords, horses, spears, and wide knives, and all kinds of bladed weapons.
He Suizhao had already jumped on a horse, the whistle sounded several times, and more than fifty light-armored cavalrymen jumped out of the forest on the left and right, riding only leather to protect their hearts, without long blades such as horse lances in their hands, and gradually drew long knives from their backs one by one, galloping towards those strong men.
The earth was shaken by the dozens of horsemen, but I am afraid that these dozens of people are only used to explore the way and serve as scouts, and there will be a large number of people and horses in the future. Mu Qing saw that He Suizhao only led these light horsemen to rush forward, and a burning sensation suddenly rose in her heart, the flames in her heart almost devoured her whole person, her breathing became short and urgent, her mind was stalemate and unable to think, she closed her eyes suddenly, shook her head vigorously, and at this time, she wished that there would be ice cubes to melt and pour her head down, so as to teach her to calm down quickly.
The homeless people who were a little far away from the soup kitchen tent scattered and fled, hissing and shouting one after another, and the strong men on the horse saw people and chopped them indiscriminately, and some of the homeless people who fell to the ground did not have time to stand up, so they taught the horse's hooves to trample on the ground, and the muscles and bones were broken, and the stomach was pierced through the intestines, and the breath was broken before they could cry out.
The eldest grandson! After Mu Qing's mind cooled down, the first thought was her. She must not be compromised in any way, she is the most cherished concubine of the Perak Hall Changsun family, if she loses her, she will lose the power to deter the Turks in the northern Xinjiang.
So she stopped running towards the woods, turned around, and ran again to the tent. The earth was scattered about, men, women, old and young, noble and lowly, all mixed together. Mu Qing ran around and looked around, looking for the trace of the eldest grandson.
I didn't see the eldest grandson, but I saw Ah Yue's face was pale, running around in the crowd in a panic and panic, unable to find the direction. Fortunately, in order to facilitate her movements in the past two days, Mu Qing taught her to change into a robe, so that she would not be like those women wearing skirts, and she would have to trip over her skirt after running a few steps.
Mu Qing hurriedly ran to her side, pulling the lapel on her robe with one hand, "Ah Yue, Ah Yue!" Ah Yue, who experienced this scene, was just blindly flustered, her eyes were scattered, and she instinctively wanted to run, but she didn't know where to run.
Mu Qing twisted the back of her hand, and the intense pain made her eyes gather on Mu Qing's face. "Ah Yue, take a few deep breaths and settle down to listen to me."
Ah Yue took two sharp breaths and tried her best to gather her attention. Mu Qing stretched out his hand and pointed to the dense forest behind him, "There are people in the forest who are guarded, and you may be able to save your life by running to that place." And when thou hast run all the way, and when thou hast seen those who are with us, thou shalt show them the woods, and tell them to run as best they can. Do you understand? ”
Ah Yue nodded vigorously, suddenly raised her head again and asked with wide eyes, "Why doesn't the lady go with me?" ”
"Don't go, run! I came right away. Mu Qing flipped over her body and pushed her hard in the direction of the dense forest, "Take everyone with you, you can save one by one, quickly!" ”
Ah Yue hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran into the forest, pulling the maid who fell to the ground as she ran, and shouting loudly for everyone to go to the forest. Only then did Mu Qing turn around and go to the chaotic crowd to find the eldest grandson.
When she saw the eldest grandson, she was obviously too frightened, and she was stunned and shrugged behind the still burning iron kettle with a maidservant, and the flames jumped to reflect her frightened expression, her eyes widened, and several tears crawled on her face.
Mu Qing used the strength of his whole body, pushed the people who were blocking the road left and right, and ran towards her with all his strength. Seeing that it was about to reach her, a horse galloped from one side, and the big man on the horse raised his spear with a glare, and stabbed at the two people hiding behind the cauldron. Mu Qing grabbed a hard object with the texture of a stone on the spot, and was just about to throw it out, when he suddenly remembered that Yinghua had told her that if the flat ground met the cavalry, it would be better to attack the horse than to attack the horse, so he threw it at the horse where the big man was sitting.
This time, it hit the horse's head, and the horse neighed and swayed from side to side a few times, and the big man shook his body accordingly, and had to distract himself to stabilize the horse. Taking advantage of his distraction, Mu Qingyi grabbed the big iron spoon in the cauldron and shouted to the eldest grandson, "Hurry up!" He scooped a spoonful of boiling hot porridge with his hands full, and held the iron spoon in both hands and tried his best to splash it at the big man. But when he heard a cry of pain, the big man was sticky with his head full of porridge and rice, and he tried his best to shake it off, where could the sticky thick porridge be shaken off, he snorted again and again, covered his face with both hands, fell off the horse, and rolled straight to the ground in pain.
Mu Qing shouted at the eldest grandson: "Hurry up and go to the forest over there." He stretched out his hand and pulled her to run away in a hurry. However, the hem of the Changsun Sect's skirt stumbled and stumbled, and he couldn't run fast.
The noise behind them subsided a lot, and for a moment it seemed to be quiet, and in just a moment, in an instant, the rumbling sound burst out behind them, Mu Qingyu hurriedly turned his head and looked into the distance, and the dozens of people who were exploring the way had almost all been cut off their horses, and corpses were scattered all over the ground, so they stopped a lot.
However, more people and horses rushed to beat the horses, like a tide rushing, not to mention a thousand people, the land trembled, and the shouts were like the muffled thunder on the edge of the sky from far and near. He Suizhao held a long knife in one hand, tightened the reins of his horse with the other, and stood quietly by the river with bated breath, and the more than fifty dead soldiers followed closely behind, spreading out to both wings.
Looking from Mu Qing, the invading people and horses were like giant shields, and He Suizhao and those dead soldiers were like small daggers facing off against giant shields, and there was no chance of winning. Look at that situation, there is a moth into the fire, see her heart straight down, although she doesn't like him, often cold face and ice words, at this time, but suddenly anxious, don't want to see him go to trouble, for a while no longer care about anything else, let go of the eldest grandson's hand, turned around and took a deep breath to raise to the throat, let go of the voice, "He Suizhao!" ”
With just this sound, He Suizhao in the distance turned around and looked at her.
"Come back!" She took another breath and shouted, "He Suizhao, you come back!" His voice was hoarse, and the pain in his throat was like a pull, and he couldn't move when he shouted, so he had to gesture again and again, beckoning to him.
He Suizhao did not hesitate to wave his hand to gather the dead soldiers on both sides, turned the horse's head and galloped towards the place where she stood. When he came near, he did not slow down his horse, but stretched out his hand to her on his horse. Without words, Mu Qing resolutely reached out and grabbed his wrist, and the moment he held his wrist, his whole body was lifted vigorously, and the next breath was already sitting on the horse, "Grab me." He Suizhao turned his head and whispered briefly.
As soon as she was dragged and jumped on the horse, she did not sit still, and suddenly rushed so violently that even the head hit him on the back, and hurriedly reached out to grasp the leather belt around his waist, but she noticed that his back was stiff.
She didn't have time to think about it, and turned back to look at the eldest grandson. She and the maidservant had been brought on horseback. So she steadied herself, her throat darkened, and she shouted to He Suizhao behind her, "Go straight to the forest." Ordered the crossbowmen to retreat into the forest. ”
