Mu Yun and a dozen others set up a formation, they didn't have shields, they could only draw their swords as the last weapon for defense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With a wave of the general's hand, the arrows flew towards them, and no matter how superb the swordsmanship was, it was difficult to resist the dense arrows, and many of them were injured in arms and legs, and everyone endured the pain without saying a word.
Jiang Chuan's flexible body took advantage of it, he dodged left and right to rush to the front, picked up the blade and cut the throat of one of the soldiers, he said to Mu Yun, "Mr. Mu, come quickly." ”
At this time, the team was scattered by random arrows, and the general wanted to catch a few alive and go back for interrogation, so he stopped firing arrows and let the soldiers rush up to surround them, and Mu Yun was surrounded by them.
Jiang Chuan saw the situation and went to Mu Yun to help him break out, the two finally broke out of the encirclement, Jiang Chuan found the stable behind him, and he said: "Mr. Mu, we can leave here if we get the horses." ”
He brought a horse and motioned for Mu Yun to get on the horse first, but unexpectedly, an arrow from the dark came and went straight to Mu Yun, Jiang Chuan suddenly walked to his side and blocked the arrow for him with his body.
Mu Yun watched the arrow pierce into Jiang Chuan's chest, he grabbed Jiang Chuan's hand and wanted to drag him onto the horse, but Jiang Chuan pushed his hand away and said, "Mr. Mu don't leave quickly, I'll cover you." ”
Mu Yun knew that Jiang Chuan stayed just to cover him, so he choked up and said, "Jiang Chuan, take care." ”
Jiang Chuan stood in place with a sharp blade in his hand, blood kept pouring out of his chest, he tried his best to stop the soldiers who flocked to Mu Yun's horse, one arrow after another stabbed at him, he was already numb with pain, when he turned his face and saw that Mu Yun had already walked away on horse, Jiang Chuan suddenly laughed and said to the soldiers: "Come together, grandpa is not afraid of you." ”
"Catch me alive." The general commanded to the crowd.
Jiang Chuan glanced up at the general, heaven and earth became blurred in his eyes in an instant, he knew that he was about to lose his strength, but how could he let them catch him back, although he was just a humble thief, but a thief also had the dignity of a thief.
"I'm not going with you." Jiang Chuan suddenly roared and rushed towards the soldier's sharp blade.
The tearing sound of the sword piercing the skin was so piercing that everyone present heard it, and Jiang Chuan's eyes were full of mockery when he looked at the general, and he half-knelt on the ground, covering his fatal wounds, allowing a trace of blood to flow from the corners of his mouth, until finally he still had a smile on his face, and the figure also maintained this position.
"General, he's dead." The soldiers cautiously pushed Jiang Chuan, and when they saw him fall to the ground with a bang, the soldiers looked a little surprised.
The general looked at him wearily, arched his hand, and said, "Drag them out and show them to the public, these people are just to teach them some lessons." ”
He didn't expect that these people sent by the regent would rather commit suicide than be captured alive, except for a few fish who escaped on horseback, none of the rest survived, and the general ordered: "Block the city gate, don't let them get out of Puyang City." ”
In the palace, Gu Qingcheng seemed to be particularly restless, since she released the pigeon, she saw the generals leave the study soon after, she couldn't help but sweat for Mu Yun and Jiang Chuan, I don't know what the situation is over there?
She really wanted to go out of the mansion to see the situation outside, she tentatively walked to the gate, and the guards stretched out their hands to hold her and said, "Princess, now that there are thieves in the city, you better stay in the palace." ”
The guards sent her away with a word, Gu Qingcheng secretly felt bad in his heart, something should have happened on Mu Yun's side, otherwise the guards would not have said so, but what happened? What about Feng Ya Zhai? She was like a bird trapped in a cage, losing her freedom and not knowing anything else.
Seeing her pacing back and forth in the bedroom, Du Juan stepped forward and persuaded: "Princess, why don't I go out to find out about the situation, according to the current situation in the palace, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to leave the palace again, at least not in a bright way." ”
Gu Qingcheng asked worriedly, "Du Juan, those people may not let you out of the mansion." ”
The cuckoo chuckled and said, "Princess, don't worry, I have always had a very good relationship with those guards, and I'm just a maid, so their attention won't be focused on me, so it's only right for me to leave the mansion." ”
Gu Tingcheng sent her to the door of the bedroom, and repeatedly advised: "Du Juan, you have to be careful, if the situation is not right, you don't go back to the palace, don't just worry about my situation, the people of the Anqing palace will not hurt me casually, and when they relax their guard on me, I will quietly get out and leave." ”
She gently hugged the cuckoo again, and patted the cuckoo's back to comfort her, and the cuckoo looked at her deeply and said, "Princess, you should be careful in the palace, and the slave will go first." ”
Before the cuckoo stepped out of the palace, the attendants reported her situation to Shen Tianao, and he suddenly laughed: "It's really strange, I don't believe that Gu Qingcheng doesn't feel any danger, obviously at this time, she still insists on staying in the palace, what is it for?" ”
He really couldn't figure out this woman's thoughts, so he raised his hand and instructed the attendant: "Go and show me the maid named Cuckoo, and I don't need to explain the rest to you in detail." ”
The attendants have been by his side for many years, and they know more or less the master's thoughts, and they all bow their heads and say: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, but a little girl, we will definitely not let you down." ”
It was evening when the cuckoo left the palace, and the sky outside the window was already pitch black, Gu Qingcheng still didn't see her coming back, her hand clasped the window tightly, and her heart was worried.
"Princess, the time for dinner has come." Tsing Yi came up with a smile and reminded.
"I'm not hungry." Gu Tingcheng replied casually.
"But the prince is waiting for you to eat together, and the prince said that if you don't need to eat, he won't eat either." Tsing Yi told the truth.
"The prince is really stubborn." Gu Qingcheng said helplessly, she stood up and followed behind Tsing Yi.
In the room where the candles were melting, Shen Tianao was already waiting here, he glanced at her quietly, took her hand and said, "Lady, I've been waiting for you for a long time, do you dislike me?" ”
Gu Qingcheng sat down beside him, reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "How could I dislike the prince." ”
"It's good over there." Shen Tianao pouted and said, looking like a child with a temper, he kept picking up vegetables for Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng was a little ignorant, she didn't know why he became so attentive today, but when the food came to her mouth, she found that the dishes were cold, and Shen Tianao had indeed waited for her for a long time.
Her appetite was really not good today, and she swallowed a bowl full of vegetables with difficulty, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that Shen Tianao had a great appetite, and she didn't care that the food was cold.
