After half a ring, a small black shadow jumped out of the forest in panic. Large, long, pointed ears, ruby-like ears, and a thick body of hemp yellow fluff turned out to be a hare that came out to forage at night. The hare jumped to the edge of the stream, and after a moment of turning of its two pointed ears, it went in the opposite direction, and hopped away.

Zhong Ziyuan watched its fat ass twist and twist away, and muttered in a low voice, "Little guy, I'm about to be scared to death by you." ”

She took the porcelain vase in her hand and looked around. It was already quite a distance from where the army was stationed, and there were several huge rocks standing on both sides, which were also hidden enough.

She took out the mess she had hidden on her body, wrapped it in a handkerchief and hung it on a dead branch that grew horizontally, and took off her clothes and robes and put them on it. Then, wearing only a white middle coat, he slowly flowed into the stream.

The stream is not very deep, and the water is warm and slippery. The flowing stream slid slowly over her feet, and it was a little ticklish, which was really new and interesting. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and submerged her whole body in the water, letting the warmth wrap herself in.

Under the water, she took off her middle coat and threw it on a dead branch. Finally, she untied the bun on her head, and let the long black hair float strangely on the water, and her round and white shoulders still appeared and disappeared on the surface of the stream from time to time.

She laughed and picked up a handful of water and dripped down her shoulder, the mischievous droplets jumping and slowly sliding down her jade-like skin. The moon is extremely low at this moment. Also extremely bright. The moonlight was also excellent, like a glow and a mist, and a veil like smoke. Gently caged around her body.

She hummed happily as she washed. I had just sung it twice, and suddenly I heard a slight "creaking" sound, and the sound of stirring the weeds, which was clearly coming in my direction.

Zhong Ziyuan's singing stopped abruptly, her heart was pounding, she grabbed her black hair tightly, and instantly hid her whole body in the water. With a pair of amber eyes, he asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" ”

The small voices suddenly disappeared, and there was silence all around, as if they had never been there. Zhong Ziyuan had a bad premonition in his heart. She hurriedly got up and stepped on the stream with a "whoosh", and hurried to the dead branch where her clothes were hanging.

The cobblestones under the water were extremely slippery, and in a hurry, she stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, the dead branch was already close in front of her, and she hurriedly reached out and grabbed it tightly. only to stabilize his figure. But her hand that reached out to take her clothes froze. And he saw that the dead branch was empty, and there was nothing.

She cried out in horror, "Who is it?" Who exactly? She was answered by a deathly silence.

She dipped herself in the water, her eyes searching around vigilantly. In the moonlight, she overheard a figure sitting leisurely on the top of a huge rock behind her. It was only that the sky was too dark, and the figure almost merged with the night, so she didn't notice it at the first time.

Zhong Ziyuan slowly raised his head, and a hint of panic flashed in his bright eyes. And then he was forced down again. She settled down and said loudly, "It's you!" ”

The man straightened up. Spit out a grass stalk chewing in her mouth, her deep eyes looked at her without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you are a woman!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan hid her whole body in the water, although she knew that he couldn't see anything at the moment, but his unbridled eyes still made her secretly annoyed. After taking a deep breath, she slowed down her voice and persuaded in a lower tone, "Since you finally escaped, why don't you hurry up and go farther." If you accidentally let your pursuers catch up, you won't have a chance to escape. ”

It turned out that sitting on the top of the rock was none other than Jerodreth, who had escaped by night. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, shooting out the light of a yin owl, and said slowly, "Yes, I should go quickly." But if I am gone, and you go and draw in the pursuers, then I am not certain to die? I have already fallen once at the hands of a ruthless woman like you, and if I plant it a second time, I will never see anyone in this life. ”

Zhong Ziyuan frowned, and said slowly: "What do you want?" Kill me? ”

Yelu Tereh smiled and said slyly: "It's good that you let me have a full meal tonight, so that I have the strength to escape." Speaking of which, you should take credit, how could I kill you. ”

The corners of Zhong Ziyuan's mouth twitched, I can't wait to slap myself and make you troublesome, this time it's okay, push yourself into the fire pit! She said hatefully, "What do you want?" Whether it's dead or alive, just give a sentence. ”

With a wave of his hand, a burden fell on the surface of the stream in front of her, and he lazily said, "Put on your clothes!" In order not to let you snitch, I decided to take you on the run. What do you Han people say, by the way, be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks. ”

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly picked up the baggage, but fortunately, the outer skin of the baggage was extremely thick and dense cotton, so the clothes inside were not wet. She pinched her burden and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of outlaw mandarin duck, at most, it can be regarded as a life and death enemy." ”

She rolled her eyes, raised her voice and said desperately: "Actually, if you run away with me, you will definitely get rid of your footsteps." If you're afraid I'm going to chase my pursuers, just tie me to a tree, so you can run away with confidence, or you can knock me unconscious!" ”

Apparently not interested in her "kind" proposal, Yelutreh frowned and threatened: "Although you are average-looking, your figure is also shriveled and not feminine. But General Wu Xian's woman, this title is still enough to arouse my sexual interest. Aren't you afraid that I'll tie you up, or knock you unconscious, and start doing whatever you want? Even though it was an escape, I was able to get even this amount of time. ”

The corners of Zhong Ziyuan's mouth twitched, and he said with a dark face: "Don't take it seriously, seeing that the atmosphere is a little tense, I'm just joking!" In desperation, she had to turn her back and climb ashore in a hurry. Let his hip-length hair cover most of his vision, and then open his burden and dress neatly.

She also had a lot of water droplets on her body, and the ice could be biting when blown by the cold wind. But she couldn't resist the violent panic in her heart. Because she found that her small package with miscellaneous items was not in this baggage. Without all those strange drugs to defend herself, she is like a wild cat with its claws cut off and teeth extracted. There is no self-protection at all.

Her mind was racing, and her heart was flustered and confused. The movements of the hands were not idle, and they were soon dressed neatly. She finally fastened the belt around her waist, and when she turned around, she was startled by Jeruthereth who was clinging to her.

At some point, he had jumped off the huge rock and was silently standing behind her. The moment she turned back. The two stood almost face to face.

Zhong Ziyuan subconsciously took a step back in a panic, but the pebbles under her feet were extremely slippery, and she almost fell into the water after a stumble. Fortunately, Jerodreth was quick-eyed. He grabbed her arm and saved her from falling into the soup, but the boots that were at her feet were kicked into the water and quickly drifted away along the stream.

"My shoes." Zhong Ziyuan exclaimed with her long wet hair.

Jeruthereth grabbed her arm hard. Said coldly: "I don't have time to help you get shoes." Hurry up. He didn't say a word, dragged Zhong Ziyuan and left. Pity her bare, with her snow-white tender feet, she was forced to embark on a journey of escape with him.

Pulled along the way, she staggered away, and suddenly felt that the soles of her feet seemed to be cut by something, and there was a piercing pain in her heart. Fortunately, it didn't take long for an ordinary war horse to appear in front of him, which was tightly tied to the trunk of a tree. The horse's mouth was tightly wrapped in cloth, and its long tail was swept incessantly. There are also two burdens hanging from its belly.

Yeluteri was not surprised to see these two horses, and he even shook off Zhong Ziyuan. He stepped forward and took out a leather water bag from it, and drank it in a big gulp.

The moment I saw this war horse. Zhong Ziyuan's heart sank. Because she soon realized that this war horse was specially prepared by someone for the donkey to escape. Could it be that in addition to the Khitans in the army, there are also hidden fine works or rebels, so as to help the donkey escape. Wouldn't it be dangerous for Guo Chengsi to rush to the border with such a team full of meticulous work and rebels.

A flash of anxiety flashed in Zhong Ziyuan's eyes, and she wished that this strong donkey could disappear in front of her eyes immediately, so that she could go back in time to report the news and remind Guo Chengsi to take precautions as soon as possible.

Her eyes began to search, hoping to find the right weapon to help her escape. Unfortunately, she had not yet found a weapon, but Jeruteret had drunk enough water.

He put away the water bag, wiped a handful of water stains from his lips, and said in a deep voice, "Get on the horse." ”

Zhong Ziyuan gritted his teeth and stepped on the saddle and got on the horse's back. Jeruthereth untied the reins of the tree, leaped into his horse, and jumped on horseback. With a "snap" whip, the war horse raised its hooves and immediately galloped.

Jerodiel's face sank like water, and his thin lips were pursed tightly, and he only cared about galloping his horse. Zhong Ziyuan sat in front of him, holding the saddle tightly with both hands, burying his head, not even daring to open his eyes. Still, she could feel the incredible heat of his snort on her neck.

Zhong Ziyuan's heart moved, and suddenly thought that the fever of this strong donkey had not subsided, he was holding himself hostage with his sick body and fleeing with him all the way, and he should be able to find an opportunity to take advantage of along the way.

So she didn't say a word, and only clamped the horse's belly hard to stabilize her figure. She secretly prayed in her heart that the people behind her were sick, and if she accidentally fell, she would not be affected by the pond fish.

It's a pity that Jeruthereh seems to have an iron will, and after running for more than two hours, a blue light has faintly appeared in the sky, and he has no sign of fainting. It's just that the war horse under the crotch of the two of them has gradually become a little exhausted because of the galloping all the way and carrying the two of them, and the speed has slowed down significantly.

There is a path ahead, and on both sides there are snow-capped mountains. Jeroderi slammed the reins and said in a deep voice; "Dismount."

Zhong Ziyuan was so dizzy that he couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, so he only said stupidly: "What? ”

Jerthereth didn't bother to talk to her, but stretched out his iron arms, picked her up by the waist, and left her on horseback. Then he also turned over and dismounted neatly.

The snow on the ground was quite thick, soft and soft like a huge bed of cotton wool, Zhong Ziyuan was not hurt by the fall, she patted her ass and got up, and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?" ”

Jeruthereth paid no attention to her, and reached out for the burden that hung under the horse's belly, untied the strip of cloth that was tied to its mouth, and whipped it on the horse's buttocks. I saw the war horse raise its hooves high, and with a "smack" chirp, it followed the path and spread its hooves to the dust.

Zhong Ziyuan was dumbfounded and said, "It's gone, what should we do?" ”

Jeroderi said in a deep voice: "Let's go up the mountain, it's useless to keep that horse. ”

"I can't walk without shoes. Otherwise, you might as well go on your own! Anyway, when you get to this deserted place, you don't have to be afraid that I will go to the snitch again. Zhong Ziyuan simply played tricks, sat down, and refused to continue walking.

Yeluteri's eyes narrowed slowly, and he said coldly, "Are you sure you really don't want to go with me?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan raised his neck and said extremely firmly: "I won't leave if I am killed." ”

"Okay, I won't accompany you." Without saying a word, Yeluteri raised his legs and left, saying as he walked: "Anyway, there are no wild beasts here, at most they are just hungry and red-eyed wild wolves!" But look at you don't have three taels of meat on you, I guess it's not enough for them to stuff their teeth. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was so frightened that her liver trembled, and she immediately got up very unwillingly, jumped up and chased after him and shouted, "Wait for me!" You are a patient, how can you walk so fast, let me take care of you! ”

The two walked one after the other for more than half an hour, the sky was already bright, and the mountains and forests were full of white patches, which made people look at it for a long time, and there was a sense of desolation and despair in their hearts.

Zhong Ziyuan gasped for breath, and his resentful eyes almost burned through the vest of the man in front of him. At this moment, Yelu Tilie didn't seem to be afraid that Zhong Ziyuan behind him would take the opportunity to escape, he didn't even look back once, he just walked forward.

Although the snow is soft, there are many sharp stones and roots hidden underneath. Zhong Ziyuan's bare feet were already scarred, and every step would leave scarlet and dazzling footprints on the white snow.

She suddenly remembered the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Mermaid Princess", and her current state is more like a mermaid princess walking on the tip of a knife step by step. However, the mermaid princess stepped on the tip of the knife in order to get close to her sweetheart, and she stepped on the tip of the knife, but she was far away from her sweetheart step by step.

Knowing that begging for mercy would not be exchanged for the slightest mercy, she could only grit her teeth, secretly endure all the pain, and follow closely behind Yelutreh. Suddenly, a pair of worn-out boots stained with snow appeared in front of her, which stood out on the white snow.

Zhong Ziyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the boots. Where do you get boots in the barren jungle? She lifted her boots and subconsciously looked up at the sturdy back in front of her, along with his bare feet. (To be continued.) )
