Zhu Yi didn't let go of her chin, but lowered his head and stared intently at her pale and angry pretty face, and suddenly showed a sarcastic smile, and said, "I forgot, my princess seems to be your close friend, and I can't marry her without you!" Let me think, what should I do with this princess? ”

Zhong Ziyuan grimaced and said coldly, "What do you want?" ”

Zhu Yi laughed low again, and after laughing for a while, he approached her, and the cold breath he spit out hit her face, but his voice became more and more gentle like water: "I want to know how I want to, I've already told you!" There was a hint of longing and anticipation in his deep eyes.

A flash of disgust flashed in Zhong Ziyuan's eyes, and he said categorically without thinking: "Impossible! ”

After listening to her categorical answer, Zhu Yi slowly put away his smile, and the last trace of expectation in his eyes had all disappeared. He said lightly: "Yes, yes, the answer is really crisp." But I have one sentence you also remember, this king will never wag his tail and beg for mercy to others, and he will take back what he wants. ”

At this moment, he seemed to be shrouded in armor made of ice and snow, but in the blink of an eye, this person changed from an amorous son to a ruthless and powerful person. Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but shudder, but she still raised her eyes and stared at him without showing weakness.

He let go of Zhong Ziyuan's chin, took a step back, and said loudly, "Someone! Take Miss Zhong back to the house. ”

There were a few bangs, and all the doors of the wings that were originally closed were opened, and the black-clad guards quickly poured out from inside, instantly surrounding Zhong Ziyuan and Zhu Yi.

Suddenly. A whirlwind blew, causing the robes and robes on everyone's bodies to hunt, and the dead leaves on the ground seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand. It kept spinning in place. The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the trees in the courtyard whined at the same time, as if countless ghosts and ghosts were laughing in unison. In the blink of an eye, the treetops and the edelweiss on the eaves fell one after another, blinding everyone's eyes.

Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan had no way to retreat. Zhu Yi finally showed an indifferent smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Take it away." ”

Zhong Ziyuan's wrist flicked slightly, and a porcelain bottle fell into her palm. Fingers between the corks lifted slightly, and a faint scent of orchids was blown by the whirlwind and diffused in the courtyard.

A black-clothed guard, who had already put his hand on her shoulder, fell straight down with a "poof". This was followed by the second. The third. Fourth, it wasn't until all the guards in the courtyard had fallen down that Zhong Ziyuan turned his wrist and quietly put the porcelain vase into his sleeve pocket.

The only people still standing in the courtyard except Zhong Ziyuan were Zhu Yi, and even Cardamom was unconscious. Zhu Yi's back was straight, and a strong feeling of dizziness was constantly attacking his brain. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, the sharp sting pain giving him a brief lucidity, and a faint smell of blood diffused throughout his mouth.

Zhong Ziyuan looked at him for a moment, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked. A proud smile was revealed. She paced forward slowly, tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "I have a word." You also have to keep in mind. As long as this girl is unwilling, no one will try to take me away! Not even you! ”

Zhu Yi's dizziness became more and more intense, his knees weakened, and he knelt down with a "poof". Zhong Ziyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the top of his hair, smiled coldly, and just wanted to lift his legs and leave. He reached out and grabbed the hem of her robe with all his might, and he looked up at her with difficulty, pleading, "Don't go!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled coldly, didn't say anything, and only pulled back his robe fiercely. Zhu Yi finally fell down unwillingly. After Zhong Ziyuan got out, he hurriedly woke up Cardamom, and the two of them searched anxiously room by room. Finally, in a vacant room, the trapped Zhong family was found, as well as a few big men who were also dressed in black.

Zhong Ziyuan, who was the leader, had seen that it was the leader of the guards who appeared to guard her house on the night when the robbers attacked together. After he was untied, he arched his hand at Zhong Ziyuan, and said impressively: "Prince Rui came suddenly this time, and there are many people, and our brothers are not as good as others, and they didn't protect Master Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, it's really ashamed." ”

When he was tied here, the fire in his heart burned with urgency. When Guo Chengsi handed over Zhong Ziyuan's safety to him, he made an oath in front of Guo Chengsi to protect her with his life. Who knew that there was such a big mistake today, not only were they all arrested, but they didn't even have time to send the news. Fortunately, Zhong Ziyuan got out of her own way, if she was really kidnapped in front of them, they could only collectively go to Guo Chenghei to apologize for their crimes.

Zhong Ziyuan frowned deeply and said, "Does he know your true identity?" ”

The leader of the guards shook his head and said, "Prince Rui should think that a few of us are nurses invited by the Zhong family, and we have not revealed our identities. ”

"That's good." Zhong Ziyuan was extremely happy.

She thought for a moment and said, "Now that Prince Rui and the guards he brought are all stunned by me, you can take a few people to carry them to the carriage and send them back to his Prince Rui's mansion." ”

"Yes." The leader of the guards clasped his fist at her, and left with a group of people waiting for the order.

After these people left, Zhong Ziyuan sent the frightened Mrs. Zhong back to the room, and the others also helped each other back to the house. Zhong Jinchuan called Zhong Ziyuan to the study, and after sitting down in front of the bookcase, he asked with a serious face: "Say, what's going on?" Why did you get involved with Prince Rui again, and you actually made him think of directly captive people. ”

As soon as she thought of Zhu Yi's anger after waking up, a sense of powerlessness rose in Zhong Ziyuan's heart, and she frowned and said, "I don't know either."

The father and daughter discussed in the study for a long time, until an hour later, Zhong Ziyuan's eyes were red when he came out. She turned and went back to her room, and when she came out a moment later, she had changed into an ordinary green cloth jacket and carried a small baggage. Even his face has changed a lot. She became a teenager with a dark face and narrow eyes. She came to the door of Mrs. Zhong's room, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times before quietly turning away.

When Zhu Yi reappeared outside the Zhong Mansion, it was already early in the morning of the next day. He rode a tall horse, followed by a group of tall guards armed with swords. He was still wearing a black robe and a golden crown with his hair. With a sword at his waist, the whole person exuded a sense of coldness. He held the reins in his hand and looked condescendingly at the Zhong Mansion with the door closed. The deep eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold revealed arrogance and dignity.

The corners of his mouth slowly hooked, revealing a cruel smile, and then waved his hand, "Go!" Sons. Arrest the escaped slaves and maids in the king's house. ”

"Yes." The guards agreed in unison. They strode forward, and after a few earth-shattering loud bangs, they smashed open the closed gate of the Bell Mansion. The team of people rushed to the Zhong Mansion in unison.

Zhu Yi looked at it coldly, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart and said: "Since you don't want to be the mistress of my Prince Rui's Mansion, then you can become the lowest slave maid of Prince Rui's Mansion, in short, I can't get your heart, but I also have to get your person." ”

He leaned back leisurely. The right hand rests casually on the saddle. The eyes that shone with cold light quietly watched the door of the Zhong Mansion that had been forcibly knocked open. He was waiting, waiting for Zhong Ziyuan to run out in a panic and cry and beg for mercy.

However, after waiting for half an hour, the leading criminal university strode out empty-handed, and Zhu Yi's eyes shrank violently. Under his gloomy gaze, Xing Da stepped forward to report: "I searched the entire Zhong Mansion and did not find Miss Zhong's whereabouts. I heard a maid named Fang'er in the house say that she hadn't seen Miss Zhong since last night. ”

Zhu Yi straightened up violently, his eyes flashed over the guards like lightning, and he waved his hand after a little thought. shouted loudly: "Collect the troops and go to the palace of the prince of Shu with this king." ”

Xingda hesitated. Only then did he report to the report: "The prince has been asleep for a day, and I don't know, yesterday afternoon, the prince of Shu entered the palace to resign, and the emperor has approved it." Later, he got the exact news, saying that the old King of Shu was critically ill, and the princess of Shu wanted to unite with the powerful officials of Shu to jointly sign a fold and ask for his position as the son, and he was in a hurry to return to Shu this time. It is estimated that now he has taken his men and horses on the way back to Shu, and at this time, the palace of the prince of Shu is only afraid that it is empty. ”

Zhu Yi was shocked in his heart, only then did he wake up from the crazy jealousy that had entangled him for many days, he tightened the reins in his hand, and looked around blankly at the guards who were standing with swords in bright armor and armor. The thin sun shone on their armor with a chill that pierced his eyes deeply

The army transporting grain and grass set off on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year as scheduled, Guo Chengsi was wearing a black armor, the red tassels on the helmet were fluttering in the wind, and the curly-haired black horse under the crotch was also snorting vigorously, and the two front hooves were constantly planing on the ground, ready to go.

Behind him, except for the soldiers who were waiting for him, the rest were all densely packed, and the carriages that could not be seen at a glance were full of grain, grass, ordnance, and herbs, all of which were urgently needed at the moment at Juchong Pass. Although 10,000 soldiers were ready to go, the team was very quiet, except for the restless snort of the horses.

Because it is only to escort grain and grass, there is no spectacular scene of civil and military officials sending each other on the road. However, a few colleagues who usually have a lot of contacts came, even the old marquis of Ming and Liu Yunbao also came.

Mingke just stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "General Wu Xian will go first, and in three days, it will be the day when the 200,000 army will be raised, and the old man will come to chase you again." "Guo Chengsi is responsible for escorting grain and grass, and it is naturally impossible to go fast when there are many goods and heavy cars, so the old marquis of Ming said this.

Zhenguo Gong was also in the team, and Guo Chengsi led the troops to the expedition for the first time, so he naturally told him solemnly: "Don't think that you don't have to face the Khitan army to escort grain and grass. It must be known that only when the grain and grass are there, can the soldiers kill the enemy on the front line with peace of mind. If the grain and grass are lost or there is an accident, it will directly lead to the discouragement of the army and the change of people's mind.

Those Khitan people look rough and arrogant on the outside, but in fact, there are many people who are active and vicious. This time, they made a fool of the north gate of Juchong Pass, which is the best example. In addition, the grassland is covered by heavy snow at the moment, and they are seriously short of food, so you must prevent them from secretly using means to seize food. ”

Guo Chengsi was enthusiastic at the moment, he hugged his fists, and said in high spirits: "Father, rest assured, I will definitely guard against it on this way, and I will not let the Khitan people have a chance." ”

Zhen Guogong babbled a few words of advice, Guo Chengsi patiently agreed one by one, and Liu Yunbao smiled and said: "Okay, the time has come, it's time to go." ”

Guo Chengsi immediately turned over and dismounted, and kowtowed respectfully to Zhen Guogong and Song Qinglian, who was blocked from a distance and could not get close. Zhen Guogong endured the excitement in his heart, stroked his green beard, and said with a slight bow: "Go!" ”

Guo Chengsi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned over to get on the horse again. He cast his eyes to the left and back again, where there was a crowd of people who wanted to see him off, but were blocked by the palace guards. He took a deep breath, and finally pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed diagonally at the sky, and shouted, "Go!" There was a roar of people on their backs, flags waving in the wind, and the huge procession finally began to move slowly.

The army really walked very slowly, and it took a day to walk out of about a hundred miles, and seeing Wujin fall westward, the sky gradually began to dim and unclear, and Guo Chengsi announced that he would be stationed in place. The soldiers immediately gathered all the wagons and grain and grass in the middle, and 10,000 soldiers set up tents around the grain and grass.

Guo Chenghe's tent was set up closest to the grain and grass, and he knelt quietly on the thick felt mat, the black armor on his body had been removed. At this moment, he was wearing an ordinary blue military uniform, holding a handkerchief, and wiped the shiny saber in his hand with great seriousness. The dim candle flame illuminated his handsome face, half light and half dark, adding a touch of perseverance.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Rongxi walked in with a tray. In the tray there are a few steamed buns with cornmeal, and a bowl of chowder soup without oil and water, which is mostly filled with radishes and potatoes.

Guo Chengsi easily put the snowy sword that had been wiped into the scabbard, and then raised his eyes to stare at Rong Xi and asked, "Did you find it?" ”

Rong Xi put down the things in his hand, then shook his head and said in confusion: "I quietly walked around the team, especially the gang leader and the military doctor, I really didn't see her shadow." ”

Guo Chengsi pondered for a moment and said puzzledly: "She has been hiding for three days, and now that the army has been mobilized, why is she still unwilling to show up?" ”

Rong Xi thought for a while and said, "Maybe she feels that the crisis around her has not been resolved, so it is inconvenient for her to appear." Maybe if she goes a little further, she will take the initiative. ”

Guo Chengsi smiled bitterly: "Originally, I wanted to leave her in Chang'an City and let Zhu Fei take care of her. Who would have thought that Zhu Yi would be so crazy that he actually wanted to take someone directly, but fortunately, she still had some drastic means to prevent him from getting his wish. I still think about the vest and still break out in a cold sweat, and it seems that when this war is over, I will marry her as soon as possible. ”

Rong Xi said curiously: "That Liu Mansion is over there"

Guo Chengsi's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "Have you forgotten, isn't there my good 'cousin' over there in Liufu, who has been secretly stirring up" (To be continued.) )
