Zhou Tingyu was almost frightened, and when he found that Chu Tianyi was still breathing, his heart was slightly relieved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He looked at the arrows glowing with cold light, and knew that he must rush back as soon as possible and let the imperial doctor heal him, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

He turned his head to Qingyun and said, "Tianyi is handed over to you, you must protect him." ”

Unlike Qing Fan, who began to guard against Qingyun, Zhou Tingyu still believed in Qingyun, and he believed that the people his father put on his side would not betray him.

Qingyun took Chu Tianyi and solemnly responded.

Zhou Tingyu glanced at the battlefield, looking at the charred corpse that was too late to rescue, there was a dull pain in his heart, he knew that the most important thing now was to return to the border city, so he shouted loudly, "Brothers, follow me!" ”

The Great Xia cavalry began a difficult impact.

Just as they were about to see the entrance, they didn't have time to rejoice, and they saw that there were more dense Turkic cavalry at the entrance.

Zhou Tingyu's eyes instantly turned red.

......

In the end, Zhou Tingyu returned to the camp in the border city safely.

It's just that unlike taking people to run overnight in high spirits, when he returned to the border city, his whole person was full of a kind of depression.

The armor on his body was stained with blood, and he stood straight outside Chu Tianyi's tent, not daring to go in to see the scene of the imperial doctor treating him.

He was afraid that he would see the end that made him unable to forgive himself.

I don't know how long it took, the imperial doctor came out of the tent with a tired face, saw Zhou Tingyu standing outside the tent, and arched his hand at him, "Fifth Highness, the arrow stuck in Chu Gongzi's body has been pulled out."

It's just that the arrow is really dangerous, and if it deviates two inches, it's the atrium, and now it's up to Chu Gongzi himself, if he can survive it, wake up tonight, everything is easy to say, if he can't wake up... Maybe you'll be in a coma forever. ”

Zhou Tingyu nodded, and wanted to go past the imperial doctor to see Chu Tianyi, but was stopped by the imperial doctor, "Your Highness, you better go wash up first and change your clothes, Chu Gongzi has injuries on his body, and there is too much filth on your body, but you must not let him be contaminated too." ”

Zhou Tingyu turned around and left without saying a word.

Looking at Zhou Tingyu's back, the Imperial Physician sighed worriedly and muttered in a low voice: "I hope this Highness can survive this catastrophe safely." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Tingyu walked into Chu Tianyi's camp tent covered in moisture.

waved his hand to the sergeant guarding the camp tent, asked the sergeant to go out first, picked up a small stool by himself, put it in front of the kang bunk, sat down and quietly looked at the people on the kang bunk.

Chu Tianyi's face was pale and bloodless, his usual face of laughing and scolding was particularly dazzling at this moment, his upper body was bare, and he was bandaged with layers of white gauze, and the gauze faintly revealed blood.

If it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest up and down, I would have thought this man was dead.

It was as if the jokes of that day were ringing in my ears again.

"Your cousin asked me to protect you."

Zhou Tingyu slammed his head in his hands, covered his face with his big palms, and from his fingers, it seemed that drop after drop of crystal seeped out.

After half a ring, Zhou Tingyu put down his palm, there was not the slightest trace of water on his face, except for the reddish corners of his eyes, he couldn't see anything else.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The voice was not happy, but Qingyun knew that under this turmoil, there were monstrous waves, and if one of them answered badly, he would lose the trust of His Highness from now on.

Qingyun knelt down suddenly, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, when your subordinates entered the valley, they did listen attentively to the movements around them, and only found traces of that team of twenty patrol soldiers. ”

"So what's the deal with those archers who popped up out of nowhere? What's going on with those giant trees? ”

Zhou Tingyu tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest and asked coldly.

Not to mention the archers who suddenly appeared, let's just talk about the giant trees, obviously those giant trees did not start to be carried up after they entered the valley, because there was no time, they must have been arranged there in advance, so those giant trees appeared in such a timely manner.

Could it be that the Turks had long expected that they would raid from Yanfei Valley, so they had arranged it early in the morning?

However, those cold arrows that were secretly shot at him through the thick smoke made it hard for Zhou Tingyu to believe that this was a coincidence.

The Turkic soldiers easily found the cavalry with the oil jar, and it also gave him a thorn in his heart.

"Your Highness, those giant trees have only been cut down in the last few days."

Zhou Tingyu turned his head suddenly, stared at Qingyun tightly, and gritted his teeth, "What did you say?" ”

From the moment the Turks suddenly appeared in the valley, Qingyun knew that he had to find a way to prove his innocence, even if he died, he could not die on the charge of traitor.

So even on the battlefield, he cut off a corner of wood with his sword.

"Your Highness, this is a corner of wood cut off by your subordinates from Yanfei Valley, take a look."

Zhou Tingyu took it and looked at the piece of wood seriously, this piece of wood had been soaked in fire oil on the outside, but there was no trace of fire oil in the heart of the wood.

This is because the freshly harvested wood has a lot of water, and generally speaking, it needs to be left for a period of time to allow the moisture in the wood to volatilize and become dry, so that it is easier to soak in fire oil.

However, now this piece of wood, the heart of the wood is completely different from the periphery.

Zhou Tingyu's hand grasping the wood suddenly clenched, revealing green tendons on it, and spit out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Who went to inspect the area where we were ambushed?"

"Your Highness, you are not a member of the Tiger Army."

Qingyun didn't know anyone in the border city, but he had an impression of everyone in the Tiger Army, after all, he had accompanied Zhou Tingyu to train together in the Tiger Army for six years.

"Who is responsible for carrying the jar with the oil in it?"

"The five altars were carried by the people of the Tiger Army, and the fifteen altars were carried by the border city sergeants, and these fifteen people were all dead."

"The cold arrow shot at me, have you seen who fired it?"

Asking this sentence, Zhou Tingyu smiled self-deprecatingly again.

"How can you see clearly in the thick smoke and fog? Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to do it at that time. ”

However, what came to Zhou Tingyu's mind was the picture of a volley of cold arrows shooting him in three directions at that time.

In all directions, only before entering the valley at the beginning, there were no cold arrows in the direction of the Tiger Ben army that rushed to lead him in front of him, and even desperately approached him to block those arrows for him.

The people of the Tiger Ben Army cannot enter unless they are innocent, and they cannot stay unless they are loyal.

All kinds of signs made Zhou Tingyu think of a conclusion that made him feel absurd and indisputable -- someone wanted him to die, and even did not hesitate to betray the military and collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

And in order to protect his life, Chu Tianyi was put in, and nearly 8,000 lives were taken, of which less than 100 of the 2,000 border city defenders escaped with him.

The traitor should be as hard as iron and as ruthless as a snake.
