Chapter 13: The Rainy Night Prairie

Before he had gone far, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and it began to rain heavily.

I lay on the back of the horse and almost lost my strength, and I thought of that person again, Huo Quai, where are you?

In the vast grassland, with no edge in sight, I had no way to go, but I knew that I was galloping forward without stopping.

When exactly will this dream wake up? Or will I die on this steppe?

I don't know how long I had been running, but the horse suddenly stumbled, threw me off the horse, and rolled into the grass.

I was soaked in the rain, feeling weak, dizzy, stinging in my shoulders and back, and covered in blood from my wounds.

I rolled over, my back up, and let the rain hit me in the face.

Huo Quai, have you ever missed me at this time?

After I am buried in this vast grassland, you will never know where my body is.

Pain, in addition to the body, the heart hurts even more.

The moment I closed my eyes, I suddenly felt like I was in the air, and I exclaimed, only to find myself in an embrace.

Chu Jinmo rode on a horse and scooped me up from the grass, and I felt desperate in my heart when I was caught by him again so quickly.

He clamped his legs, dismounted his crotch and galloped quickly in the direction I had come.

"You're quite smart, and you know how to hit the west." Chu Jinmo said in a mocking tone.

I was silent.

Suddenly, Chu Jinmo's face changed, and with a muffled snort, an arrow flew into his shoulder.

I looked ahead in disbelief, and in the heavy rain, there were many figures scattered in front of me. I looked at it, and the leader turned out to be the fat prince Donglin with a meaty face.

At this time, he was wearing a robe, raised his hand, and quickly outflanked a few people next to him.

Chu Jinmo restrained his horse and shouted loudly: "Prince Donglin, are you crazy?" ”

Prince Donglin shook the fat on his face and said, "It's you and the Empress Dowager Yaotian who are crazy, you are still looking for Huo Yong!" It's simply impossible! ”

Chu Jinmo said: "It is our mission to wait for Huo Yong to return to the west!" ”

Prince Donglin shook his head and said, "Your mission has been accomplished. As long as you die, I can support your younger brother Prince An, force the Empress Dowager Yaotian to hand over the royal power, and then return to the Xiongnu, this is the only way out for me to go west! ”

After speaking, he raised his right hand and made a gesture, and the person next to him raised his bow and arrow, pulled the bowstring, and several sharp arrows aimed at Chu Jin.

Chu Jinmo pulled out the sword he was wearing and blocked those bows and arrows one by one, but he was helplessly outnumbered, and he was hit by another arrow on his body.

Chu Jinmo quickly turned the horse's head and galloped back, he pumped the horse hard, and fled for his life in the pouring rain.

When Prince Donglin saw that Chu Jinmo was about to escape, he immediately shouted, "Stop him!" ”

The men galloped after us.

Chu Jinmo's blade flashed, like a moonlight falling down, emitting a snow-white light in the heavy rain. The raindrops hit him and splashed, like a glimmer of light over him.

The knife, cold and sharp, with a piercing coldness, went straight towards the pursuers in this rainy night grassland where you couldn't see your fingers.

Bows and arrows are the weapons that the grassland is proud of, a strong warrior can shoot through a fierce beast with an arrow, and Chu Jinmo only has a sword in his hand.

But his sword was so fast that it was far faster than an arrow, so I could even clearly see the stunned look on their face when their pursuers fell.

Countless blood splattered, and Chu Jinmo's movements were gorgeous and elegant like a phantom dance.

Blood and rain mixed and splashed on my body, I clenched my teeth and reflexively hugged Chu Jinmo. I know that if I fall off my horse at this time, I will definitely be killed by the arrows of Prince Donglin's men.

Chu Jinmo's crazy slaughter made the pursuers fearful, and slowed down the pace of the chase slightly, and Chu Jinmo had already rushed into the heavy rain with me.

The excessive bleeding made Chu Jinmo's face more and more pale, and I felt his strength disappearing little by little, and finally he lost his last bit of strength, and rolled off the horse with me in his arms.

Seeing a shadow faintly ahead, Chu Jinmo raised his hand, pointed to the front and said, "There is a cave in that place."

I looked in the direction he was pointing, but the rain was so heavy that I could only see a dark patch ahead.

I shook him vigorously and said, "Cheer up!" ”

I pulled his arm over my shoulder, struggled to lift him up, and half-dragged him toward the cave in front of him.

The rain fell on my face, and the crown of my hair was long gone, and the hair fell and clung to my cheeks.

"Cheer up, it's coming soon!"

I dragged him along and walked forward step by step, until I finally reached the cave he was referring to.

It seems that it used to be a nest for some animals, but fortunately it is now vacant, and although it is also very humid and has an indescribable smell, it is like heaven compared to the pouring rain outside.

I put Chu Jinmo on the ground, and he was almost in a semi-conscious state.

What to do? Although the man took me and tied me to my horse and let me run after the horse for a few days, he did not kill me. Just now, he could have left me behind and fled for his life alone, but he still insisted on holding me out of the encirclement.

I sighed and saved you, and I didn't owe each other.

I approached to examine his injuries, and the arrow was very deep, but fortunately it didn't hurt the vital point, otherwise he would not have lived.

I held the top end of the bow with my hand and tried to pull it out, but as soon as I forced, my hand was suddenly grabbed.

I looked at Chu Jinmo's pair of ancient well-like eyes and whispered, "I'm going to pull out the arrow now, you bear with it!" ”

Chu Jin's inky dark eyes stared at me for a few seconds and let go of my hand.

I took a deep breath, grabbed the bow and arrow in both hands, and pulled it hard!

Chu Jinmo's face was pale, but he didn't say a word and didn't move.

I couldn't help but look at him in my heart, what a hard bone.

"There's also an arrow, you bear with it!" With that, I quickly pulled up the other arrow as well.

Chu Jinmo's face couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, and it was wet all over his face, covering his fair skin.

Chu Jinmo opened his mouth and said, "I have gold sore medicine on my body, you take it and wipe it on the wound."

Hearing this, I touched him and rummaged for gold sore medicine. But he felt that his expression was a little strange, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, so he found a vial and asked him, "Is this it?" ”

He nodded, and I gently sprinkled the powder on his wound. Then he grabbed his clothes and took out a dagger and cut off a piece.

He frowned.

I said, "I'll bandage you!" There was no pause in his hand, and he wrapped a strip of cloth around his wound.

The rain slowly became lighter, and in the dark cave, there was only the sound of Chu Jinmo and my breathing.

I sat with my legs folded and leaning against the cave.

In the dark, Chu Jinmo opened his mouth and asked, "Are you a woman?" ”

I was taken aback and blurted out, "How do you know the way?" After speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

He said lightly: "I found it when I hugged you just now." ”

There was silence.

I broke the ice and said, "Who are you?" Why do you want to find Huo Quai? ”

Chu Jinmo didn't answer. Well, I'm not very interested in your affairs anyway.

Neither of us spoke anymore, and gradually a feeling of fatigue came over me, and I felt my eyelids heavily, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, there was a fire burning in front of me. I looked out, and it was almost dawn.

Chu Jinmo sat in front of the fire, fiddling with a branch of the fire, and when he saw me wake up, he glanced at me lightly and said, "Come and dry the clothes on your body." ”

To be honest, I was so tired yesterday that I ran for my life in the heavy rain, and I fell asleep after a little relaxation. I now realize that my clothes are still wet and sticking to my body, which is very uncomfortable.

I hurried close to the fire and tried to dry my clothes.

"Are you Huo Quai's wife?"

I shook my head, and said, "I'm just his maid."

Chu Jin's inky eyes stared at me, as if to confirm whether I was lying.

I grinned bitterly and said, "I really didn't lie to you this time, I'm just a maid in Huo Mansion, and Huo Qubing won't even talk to me." If you want to threaten him with me, don't waste your efforts! ”

"I didn't think so."

"Can you let me go, then?"

Chu Jinmo shook his head and said, "I'll let you leave now, you will only die on this grassland." ”

I sighed and said, "Let's make a deal!" ”

Chu Jinmo was slightly stunned and said, "Deal? ”

I nodded and said, "I'll help you kill Donglin, you let me go." ”

"You are a weak female streamer, how can you kill Donglin?"

I took the branch from his hand, stirred the fire, and said, "Even if you don't kill Donglin now, he will definitely kill you." If I'm right, he'd have defected by now! ”

Chu Jinmo's body shook, stood up, and shook violently as soon as he stood up.

I hurriedly got up to support him and said, "Donglin intends to kill you, just to support your brother to seize power." When the Hun envoy came yesterday, he already wanted to seize power on the spot, but fortunately, the Empress Dowager Yaotian made a quick decision, broke her wrist, and controlled the situation in time. ”

Chu Jinmo turned his face to look at me, as if he had never known me.

I said to myself: "If he can't kill you last night, he will definitely take advantage of your absence in the city, and the Empress Dowager Yaotian is seriously injured and take the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Chu Jinmo broke free of my hand and walked out, saying, "Hurry back to Baishui City!" ”

Out of the cave, it was already completely light outside. Chu Jinmo's mount was still there, and when he saw his master, the horse let out a long neighing like a cheer.

Chu Jinmo took me on the horse and returned to Baishui City in the west of Chaoyue.

When I was still some distance away from Baishui City, I saw a group of people riding horses in front of me from a distance, and I couldn't help but tighten my hand holding Chu Jinmo's back, Donglin's pursuers found us so quickly?

Chu Jinmo said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's my people." ”

When I heard this, I looked forward, and there were dozens of people rushing towards us. When they arrived in front of Chu Jinmo, they all jumped off their horses, knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Jinmo's horse, and shouted in their mouths: "Prince Jinmo, I finally found you!" ”

Chu Jinmo said: "What is the situation in the city now? ”

"After you left last night, Prince Donglin launched a rebellion. Now the Donglin army has surrounded Baishui City, and at present, General Qinnan is leading the army to defend the city. Prince Donglin said that you are dead, we don't believe it, and we have finally found you! ”

Chu Jinmo sneered and said, "It's not so easy for him to kill me!" ”

He turned his face to me and said, "I'll send someone to see you off, you go!" ”

I may still have time to leave now, but I don't know what the road is for, and I think I should stay. Maybe he wants to find out what the relationship between Yuexi and Huo Quzhi is, and maybe there are other unclear reasons.

If he hadn't saved me last night, I would have died on the prairie, and now I will take this life back.

I shook my head and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

Chu Jinmo's body was shocked, he no longer insisted, and pulled out the sword on his body and said to the people: "Soldiers, let's go back to Baishui City to kill Donglin and rescue the Empress Dowager Yaotian!" ”

"Kill Donglin, save the Queen Mother!"

Everyone got on their horses one after another, and Chu Jinmo took me to take the lead and marched towards Baishui City.

After arriving at Whitewater City, he saw from a distance that the Black Pressure Army had surrounded Whitewater City.

I said, "This city has not been breached after a night. ”

Chu Jinmo said: "When the king of Yuexi built Baishui City in the previous generation, it was built with white sand mixed with lime and raw water at the bottom of the river. ”

"Then the wall must be very strong."

"When I built the city, the king of Yuexi, I also built weapons, and in order to supervise the work, I ordered to stab the city wall with a knife. If you stab yourself into the wall, kill the builders and put the corpses into the city. If the knife does not penetrate the wall, then kill the man who forged the sword. ”

I was surprised in my heart that this White Water City was actually built on top of the white bones, and the golden city was solid for hundreds of millions of years!

Chu Jinmo said lightly: "Because the material used to build the city is the white sand at the bottom of the river, and the sun shines on the whole body is snow-white, so it is named Baishui City." ”

Chu Jinmo immediately slashed his sword and said to dozens of soldiers, "Listen, everyone, we only have one chance, we must rush to the city." I'm going to cut off Donglin's head and hang it above the gate of Whitewater City, do you dare to go with me?! ”

When everyone heard this, their blood boiled, and everyone raised the sword in their hands high, shouting "Dare!" ”

Chu Jinmo shouted: "Rush! ”

I hid behind Chu Jinmo, hugged his back, and everyone rode into Donglin's camp together.

Donglin's army was about a thousand people, and at this time, they surrounded Baishui City, and they didn't expect anyone to rush out from behind, and the formation was scattered by us for a while.

All of Chu Jinmo's subordinates were determined to die, and wherever they passed, their heads fell to the ground, and blood was splashed on the spot!

These people are all dead soldiers who followed him from birth to death, everyone is strong in martial arts, and the mourning soldiers will win, either Donglin dies or Chu Jinmo dies.

The sound of the wind, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of killing whistled in my ears, and I closed my eyes, and everyone really rushed to the bottom of Whitewater City.

Chu Jinmo shouted loudly: "Release the rope!" ”

Seeing that we had rushed to the foot of Baishui City, the Donglin soldiers were so angry that they jumped to their feet, and the scattered formation quickly assembled.

There was a person standing on the tower of the city, it was Qin Nan, who spoke softly, and he saw that Chu Jinmo led the army under the city to rush out of the Donglin soldiers besieging the city, and saw that the Donglin soldiers were about to surround us.

Qin Nan shouted loudly: "Bow and arrow cover!" ”

The soldiers defending the city set up bows and arrows one after another to stop the siege of our Donglin soldiers.

More than a dozen ropes fell from the castle tower, and everyone took cover alternately, pulling the ropes to climb the wall.

Chu Jinmo clamped me under his waist, hugged me and grabbed the rope, and the soldiers pulling the rope on it quickly pulled us up to the city tower.

After going up to the city tower, Chu Jinmo put me down and said to Qin Nan: "Xie Luxie!" ”

Qin Nan glanced at Chu Jinmo lightly and said, "Go and see the Empress Dowager Yaotian." Although I agree to take refuge in the Huns, I will never join forces in killing you and seizing power! ”

Chu Jinmo's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he no longer looked at Qin Nan, and strode towards the city.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ hussar general laughed and passed on the thirteenth word that Huo Quai's majestic class teacher returned to the dynasty, and when he entered Chang'an City, he was surrounded by many Huo fans, and countless aunts and little girls stretched their necks to see the handsome face of the hussar general, and Huo Quai's popularity was simply bursting. Because there were too many people, the Yulin Army had to be transferred to maintain order.

Huo went to the palace to see Liu Che, Liu Che laughed so much that his mouth was about to grin to the root of his ears, "What should I reward the hussars this time?" ”
