Chapter 45: Courage
I don't know when, Mo Forget came to his side, and at this time, Chu Litian was using one of the few fire folds to melt the fire paint in the gap.
"Don't forget, why are you here? Have you done everything I asked you to do? Chu Litian turned his head.
And it was this moment of turning his head that he was shocked.
When Chu Litian and Ye Zitong got married, she was sent to Leizhou to investigate Chu Yatian's comrades, but she hadn't seen her for many days, Chu Litian's face was haggard, and her body was full of blood, as if she was a different person.
"Master, how did you do this? Why don't you let someone do it? ”
"You went to Leizhou, Qingfeng went to ask for a doctor, I can't trust the people below, besides, my own woman doesn't need others to save it. How did you find me? ”
"On the way back from Leizhou, I stayed in Anseong for a few days, and met Qingfeng's men, who disappeared with Qingfeng, and informed me of this."
Chu Litian frowned: "Qingfeng is missing?" ”
"Doan said that he and Qingfeng were separated on the street, I have sent someone to look for it, there should be no accidents, master, the eighth princess is really trapped inside? Why is she so sloppy? How can a woman's family go to cure the plague? ”
Chu Litian sat down under the corner of the city gate, he wiped the blood stains on his body with a cotton cloth, and said: "In the past, there were also goddess doctors, but very few, and born into a family of doctors, it is okay to really cure the plague, but the defeat is that she is too self-righteous, arrogant, and arrogant, and says big things." ”
"Master, let me break through the wall of thorns, and you can enter the city." Looking up at the city wall, Don't forget to say.
"No, this is not a place where you can go in and out, you go back to the house, I still have things for you to do."
"Does the master want me to keep an eye on the Four Princes' Mansion? Don't forget that you have sent your right-hand men to keep an eye on it, and their every move will reach my hands through guò flying pigeons, don't worry about the master, let Mo forget to work for the master by the master's side! ”
Chu Litian glanced at Mo Forget, her watery eyes were full of tenderness and firmness, which made people unbearable to refuse, but who would have thought that such a woman was strong in martial arts and bloodthirsty? It is indeed advantageous to keep her around.
The Imperial Palace of Anling Kingdom.
"What? You said that he went to the southwest? And break the city gates?! The Emperor's roar pierced the courtroom.
Chu Yatian, who was kneeling on the top of the main hall, looked pious and said: "Yes, father, because I was not at ease, I sent someone to follow and stop him, and he was killed by him, it seems that he insisted on breaking through the city gate."
The emperor slapped on the table, blushing with anger and having a thick neck: "This old man is too unreasonable!" If he can't cure the plague, forget it, I'm already closed, and he's going to make such a mess for me! It's so hateful! ”
"Father, please don't be angry, the eighth brother is also trapped by love, he is too worried about the eighth princess, so he made such a reckless behavior, and the son heard that he bought a separate house for the eighth princess in order to please the eighth princess."
Hearing this, the emperor became even more angry, and Qingjian burst out and said: "This old eight, how docile and obedient he has been since he was a child, how can he be so indulgent when he grows up, and he actually did such a ridiculous thing for a woman, how can he get it in the future!" I can't sit idly by anymore, if I continue like this, others will only say that I can't discipline my son! Fourth, I order you to immediately lead the team to the southwest and bring Chu Litian back to me! ”
Chu Yatian frowned, and suppressed a trace of joy between his eyebrows: "Father, isn't this good?" Otherwise, my son would have persuaded ......."
"He can do this, he doesn't care about me at all, and you don't have to take care of him! Catch him right away! ”
"Yes!"
On the other hand, although he controlled the news that the city guards would come to the southwest in three days, Chu Litian was unwilling to wait, and still kept trying various ways to enter the city all night, and Mo forgot that he couldn't do anything except be allowed to stay by his side and help him buy some things.
The night of the day soon fell, and after the two of them had eaten dry food in the small bamboo forest, they went up to the tree to prepare for rest.
As soon as Chu Litian closed his eyes, Mo Forget's soft voice asked in his ears: "Master, Mo Forget has never seen you pay so much for a woman, Eighth Prince, Princess...... Is it such a good person? ”
Just when a breeze blew, Chu Litian's long inky hair was raised by the wind, revealing his cheeks that were covered by hair in the past, it was with a thick smile, his eyes had never had such affection, and at that moment, he was sure that he really liked Ye Zitong.
So at this moment, my heart was broken incomparably completely.
In fact, Mo Forget knew very well that she shouldn't have any illusions about Chu Litian, but whenever she looked at him and laughed, although his eyes were still cold, his heart was melted into water like this.
Whatever he did for him was willing.
This night, don't forget to take advantage of Chu Litian to fall asleep, a person came to the city gate with a weapon, the towering city gate at night looked extremely gloomy under the moonlight, she flew up the city wall with a nine-claw hook, and at the moment when the thorns pierced into the skin, she suddenly understood how much Chu Litian liked Ye Zitong, so he would be willing to suffer so many injuries for her.
She likes Chu Litian no less than Chu Litian loves Ye Zitong.
Therefore, she was not afraid of pain and weariness, and again and again with the long sword in her hand, and many times risked being squeezed off the wall, throwing off the thorns, and in one night, at last opened a small empty wall, and by this time, it was already dawn.
When Chu Litian woke up, he found that Mo Forget was gone, he flew down the tree to look for it, and finally found Mo Forget surrounded by Chu Yatian's army near the city gate, she was covered in blood and seriously injured.
And at this time, Chu Yatian also caught Chu Litian's face when he turned around, raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Eighth brother, you are finally here." ”
Mo Forget also saw Chu Litian, and shouted regardless of the situation: "Master, go quickly!" ”
Chu Yatian's smile was as sinister as a poisonous snake spitting poisonous letters, and said: "Your subordinates are really loyal to you, leave the sky, I don't think you should be dying, my father ordered me to take you back, if you resist, it will be a rebellion." ”
Chu Litian's heart sank, during the time he was not in the capital, Chu Yatian really bewitched his father.
If you resist, you will resist, but if you don't resist, who can save Ye Zitong who is in deep trouble? He must not be obedient.
"Brother Huang, it looks like I have to resist the decree." Chu Litian slowly walked towards Mo Forget under the gaze of everyone, and protected her behind him, "Did they do anything rough with you?" ”
Mo Forget shook his head and whispered, "Master, a small piece of the city wall has been vacant, we can ......"
Chu Litian didn't look up, he scolded in a low voice, "You were doing this last night?" You don't want to die! ”
"Master, I calculated, there are a total of twenty-eight people here, and I can still block it alone, and then you will go into the city to find the Eighth Princess!"
"I'm not going to leave you behind." Chu Litian stopped looking at her, and looked straight at Chu Yatian, "Brother Huang, if you insist on taking me back, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, grab both of them for me!"
As soon as Chu Yatian gave an order, the twenty-eight people he brought with him immediately rushed up, and at this time, Chu Litian grabbed Mo Forget's hand and took a few steps back.
Just when they retreated to the point where there was no way out, Chu Litian looked sideways and whispered to Mo Forget, "Ready." ”
When the two of them retreated to the cold city gate, and everyone thought that they were caged birds, Chu Litian suddenly took out a scabbard from behind his back, knocked down the few people standing in front of them first, and then quickly ran to the side, the speed was very fast, and before everyone could react, Chu Litian pulled Mo Forget and ran directly onto the city wall, and took the section of the road without thorn walls, stood on the city wall, and looked sideways at Chu Yatian and the others who were about to climb up.
"This city is full of uncontrollable plagues, even near the city gates, you will be infected with the plague, if you don't want to die, just follow me."
Looking at the slightly hesitant expressions of the attendants, Chu Litian smiled coldly, and then pulled Mo Forget to jump without hesitation.
Looking at Chu Litian's actions without hesitation, Chu Yatian's heart sank, and he subconsciously shouted: "Go catch up with them!" ”
"Fourth prince, isn't this okay? The city is full of plagues, and if you enter it, you will surely die! ”
Chu Litian actually broke into this place that was already called the City of Death for a woman, regardless of life and death, although that woman was interesting, but it was to the point where people could put life and death on her mind? Chu Yatian was in a heavy mood, and looked up at his younger brother's departing figure again.
"That's it, it's a dead end to enter here anyway, let's go back."
Inside the wall, Chu Litian and Mo Forget landed steadily on the ground, and before they could rejoice in this breakthrough, they were shocked by the scene in front of them and were speechless, and even Mo Forget, who had always been calm and composed, subconsciously took a step back.
There were corpses everywhere in front of me, and it was the hot summer months, and the corpses were rapidly decomposing, and the flies and cockroaches crawled to the ground, and the sight was unsightly.
The title of City of the Dead is not an exaggeration at all.
"Oh my God, the Eighth Imperial Concubine must be ...... It must be gone...... "Don't forget to look at Chu Litian in a daze.
There was a look of great grief on his face.
"Right...... I'm sorry, master, I shouldn't have said such things, the Eighth Imperial Concubine is so smart and clever, she will definitely survive. ”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Litian was almost desperate, the hill-like dead people filled this city with a rotten stench, even if there was no plague, the bacteria that were not buried here were enough for people to be infected and die.
"Put on your mask, we'll look everywhere." Chu Litian still had a glimmer of hope, he handed Mo Forget a handkerchief, and by the way, he also brought a mask himself.
The two of them walked towards the city, and they found that it was not that there were no living people in the city, but that those who had survived were already emaciated, and that the danger of closing the city was here, and that there were no goods and clean cooked vegetables from outside, and they could only eat those unpalatable dry food pasta.
