I wore the men's clothes given by Chu Jinmo, bowed my head and followed him out of the city, and he didn't speak all the way.

When we were about to reach the gate of the city, a person suddenly flashed out and blocked our way, and I could see clearly in the moonlight that it was General Qinnan.

At this time, Qin Nan's face was cloudy, and her feminine face seemed to be so black that she was about to drip, and said, "Prince Jinmo, if you let her go, the Empress Dowager Yaotian will be unhappy." ”

Chu Jinmo looked directly into Qin Nan's eyes and said, "You want to stop me?" ”

Qin Nan sighed and stepped aside, Chu Jinmo stopped looking at him and strode forward. I quickly followed him, and when I passed by Qinnan, he said, "I let you go because you saved Whitewater City, you can go!" ”

I whispered, "Thank you!" ”

Out of the city gate, Chu Jinmo's cronies were already waiting with two horses, and Chu Jinmo and I each rode a horse and galloped towards the outside of the city.

After a night's rush, it is estimated that there will be no more pursuers, so Chu Jinmo and I stopped to rest.

"Why did the Empress Dowager Yaotian do this?" I asked.

Chu Jinmo took out half of the cake and handed it to me, saying, "Your plan to burn the eagle's intestines impressed my mother, and she thinks that you are a strange woman who can stabilize the country." She wants you to assist An Guo, so she arranges it this way. ”

I took the cake in Chu Jinmo's hand, took a bite, and said curiously: "Isn't it you who inherits the throne?" After finishing speaking, I realized that what I said was very inappropriate, and it sounded as if I was saying that I should marry him Chu Jinmo.

Chu Jinmo raised his head and looked at me with those ancient well-like eyes, at this moment, his eyes were no longer cold, but replaced with a gentle gaze.

"If the heir to the throne is me, you..."

I knew that I had said the wrong thing, and I was speechless for a while, so I had to bow my head and remain silent.

Chu Jinmo looked at me for a while, sighed, and said, "Actually, the person who inherited the throne in my mother's heart has always been An Guo, not me. ”

I can't help but feel sorry for him in my heart, he is heroic, courageous and knowledgeable, and he is definitely a rare talent. And that Chu Anguo was young and ignorant, and he had no achievements, and he only howled and cried when he encountered something.

How could the Empress Dowager Yaotian, who was able to break her wrist and retreat from the enemy, be so indiscriminate? It seems that this habit of favoring the youngest son is not only in the Central Plains, and there are cases in many dynasties.

Chu Jinmo continued: "You asked me before, why do we want to find Huo Quai, I didn't know if you were friend or foe at the time, so I didn't tell you. Do you want to hear it now? ”

I immediately nodded: "I would like to hear about it!" ”

Chu Jinmo said slowly: "This matter has to start from a thousand years ago......

A thousand years ago, there was a powerful country in the Western Regions, called Yuexi. The terrain of Yuexi is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the reigning king of Yuexi at that time has always implemented benevolent government, treated the people well, and governed the country of Yuexi in an orderly manner, and the country was strong and the people were rich.

At this time, two people, a man and a woman, came from an unknown place, claiming to be messengers from heaven. Men are good at spells, and women are good at swordsmanship.

Especially the man who is good at spells, he can call the wind and rain, and all kinds of miracles are incredible. And that woman's swordsmanship is extremely high, and no one in the western part of the country is invincible.

After this man and woman came to Yuexi, they told the king of Yuexi that they were willing to help him strengthen Yuexi. The king of Yuexi was overjoyed, so he made a man the ** teacher of Yuexi Kingdom, and his name was Huo Yong.

Huo Yong did not break his promise, he helped the Yuexi Kingdom to expand around, in just a few years, the surrounding small countries were basically all subdued, in the hands of this generation of Yuexi kings, the territory of Yuexi reached the peak of all dynasties.

Huo Yong told the king of Yuexi that in order to make Yuexi the supreme of all nations, he would build a huge instrument called the Nine Armillary Heavenly Motion Instrument.

Once this Nine Armillary Heavenly Motion Instrument is completed and the Nine Stars are displaced, no one in the world is the opponent of Yuexi Kingdom, and the King of Yuexi has already obeyed Huo Yong's words at this time, and immediately adopted his opinion.

Yuexi poured the power of the whole country, spent the wealth accumulated for generations, and mobilized thousands of people to help Huo Yong build the Nine Arillary Heavenly Motion Instrument.

At this time, some people in the DPRK and China objected, saying that the construction of such a huge project would cost the people and money, and would greatly damage the vitality of Yuexi. But at this time, the king of Yuexi only had supreme power in his eyes, and he couldn't listen to other voices at all, and even executed all the officials who opposed it.

After a few years, the people were miserable and complained, and finally there was a rebellion.

King Yuexi hurriedly sent Huo Yong to quell the chaos, but Huo Yong said that this was the critical moment to activate the Nine Armillary Heavenly Movement Instrument, and he must not leave, otherwise his previous achievements would be wasted.

The small rebellion became bigger and bigger, and the rebels gathered and broke through the Yuexi Palace, and the king of Yuexi was killed.

However, Huo Yong had an accident when he started the Nine Armillary Motions, and I don't know what caused the Nine Armillary Motions to explode, and the entire Yuexi was razed to the ground.

Only one prince of the Yuexi royal family avoided this disaster because he had been leading the army to guard the frontier.

Huo Yong turned into an illusion before he died, and left his last words to the prince: after a thousand years, Chang'an, the southern country, he will return with a sword. At that time, Yue Xi will become the supreme of all nations, and the mark that confirms his identity is the nine-star mark on his body.

So generations of Yuexi royal families have waited for Huo Yong's return as their mission, and built Baishui City on the border as a place to retain the bloodline of the most descendant of Yuexi, Chu Jinmo and Chu Anguo are the descendants of this Yuexi prince.

Hearing this, I interrupted Chu Jinmo's words and said, "What does this have to do with Huo Qu's disease?" ”

Chu Jinmo said lightly: "A few years ago, an old immortal-like Taoist came to Baishui City, and he said that the person we were waiting for had already passed away, and this person was the most shining general in Chang'an City, so I would go to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty to find it." ”

"Daoist?" I frowned, "He said that Huo Qu's illness is Huo Yong?" ”

Chu Jinmo sighed and said, "The Han Dynasty is full of talents, and we can't be sure who that general is. But judging from the military exploits of the past two years, Huo Qubing should be the closest person to what he said. ”

"Can you send me to Huo Quai?" I asked.

Chu Jinmo seemed to have made a huge determination, and said: "Yes, the news I got a few days ago is that he has entered the weak water, and we should be able to meet him when we go to Xiaoyue's Clan." ”

After that day's conversation, Chu Jinmo didn't say anything more to me, and just took me to hurry day and night. Along the way, he was very familiar with the terrain of the desert, where to rest, where to have water, and where to supply food.

The more I see the talent he exudes on weekdays, the more sure I am that it was wrong for the Empress Dowager Yaotian to choose Chu Anguo as the heir, how could such a talent be buried?

If he can grasp the power of Yuexi, he will definitely govern Yuexi in an orderly manner. Maybe he doesn't need to rely on the ethereal Huo Yong, he can re-shake Yuexi by himself.

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Yaotian is not a good stubble, cutting her wrist is like cutting cabbage, once a woman like this makes up her mind in her heart, she will definitely not be easily shaken.

I shook my head, I seemed to care too much about Chu Jinmo. It's already my bottom line for me to help him rescue Whitewater, and I can't do more for him.

Because I have more important things to do.

Huo Qu's disease.

This night we rested in a desert, Chu Jinmo lit a fire and asked me to rest, and he came to keep vigil.

I lay flat on the ground, wearing Chu Jinmo's cloak, looking up at the brilliant stars in the night sky. The stars seem to be so close that they seem to be within reach.

"Did you sleep?" Chu Jinmo asked softly.

"Not yet"

"I... I want to ask you a question. ”

I rolled over to face him, and he was sitting about two meters away from me, and I said, "What's the problem?" ”

Chu Jinmo played with a dagger in his hand and said lightly: "Did you go to Huo Quai's illness the day you were caught by me?" ”

I was stunned, he actually saw what was on my mind. My eyes rolled, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that I was silent, Chu Jinmo said softly, "You secretly ran out to find Huo Quai, right?" In fact, I should have guessed what kind of feelings would make a woman go thousands of miles alone to make a danger, or that this person has an extremely important position in your heart. ”

I closed my eyes and took a long breath, Chu Jinmo's words hit my heart.

Thousands of miles of desert, I am a woman on the road alone, those days when I was tied to the back of a horse and running, my blood-soaked feet, the rainstorm on the grassland, the soldiers of Baishui City are coming to the city... Each of these things almost killed me.

But I miraculously survived every time, in order to see Huo Quai.

I couldn't let him go anymore.

At this time, when Chu Jinmo said it, his heart was full of tenderness, and it was broken into pieces of petals and bloomed.

And where is Huo Quzhi now? What are you doing?

Chu Jinmo's voice seemed to come from far away, "If you want, I can go and beg my mother not to let you marry An Guo." Maybe one day my mother will let me inherit the throne, or maybe I won't be able to take the throne for the rest of my life. But do you want to..."

I sat up abruptly and said, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Chu Jinmo saw that my expression was wrong, listened with his ears, the blood on his face faded, and said, "It's a wolf pack!" ”

Wolves! The kings of the desert, they have sharp minions and terrifying speed.

The most terrifying thing about them is that they act collectively, and the wolves can easily swallow up the caravan in the desert, leaving no bones left.

And at this moment, many wolf howls came from all around, from far and near, and there were not a few of them.

I quickly got up from the ground and went to lead the horse, but at this time the horse that had been so vigorous that it would not even give up its legs after hearing the wolf's howl.

I was anxious, turned my head and asked Chu Jinmo, "What should I do?" ”

Chu Jinmo didn't say a word, his eyes staring at the front.

There was a little, two, green light ahead. But I knew that it was the hungry eyes of the wolf.

In an instant, wolves howled in the vast wilderness, and wolves appeared on the sand dunes and remnants of the sand dunes or low, more and more, more and more.

In the night, a pair of eyes that shimmer green seem to light the guiding light that leads to the gates of hell.

"Mulan, I'll lure the wolves away, you can run for your life yourself!" Chu Jinmo slowly raised his sword.

My body shook violently, and he wanted to protect me with his own life? For what?

"Remember, you must escape from Lu, don't you still have to go to Huo Quai?" Chu Jinmo blocked me step by step, "Go all the way to the north, and you will be able to reach the Xiaoyue Clan." Run as hard as you can, and never look back. ”

An indescribable feeling arose in my heart, and when I first met this person, I thought he was a demonic figure. But these days, he has always protected me.

"If you don't want to die, put it on!" He threw me a pair of black leather boots.

"You're pretty smart, you know how to hit the west!" He will be lying exhausted in the heavy rain, and I will be rescued from despair.

"Come with me, my mother will marry you to An Guo!" He took me out of Whitewater City in the west of Yuexi.

"If the heir to the throne is me, you..."

Scenes flashed through my mind, I don't know when Chu Jinmo has left traces in my heart.

Chu Jinmo held his sword, stopped me behind him, turned his back to me and said, "Remember my words, if I meet you again, I will definitely keep you by my side at all costs."

I trembled and stepped back, "Don't die, you must not die!" After saying this almost with a roar, I turned and ran towards the desert.

The wind was blowing in my face.

Behind him came the howl of a wolf and the shadow of a sword.

I didn't even have to look back to imagine him wielding the sword in his hand, slashing the wolves in a pose that was almost as gorgeous as a dance.

Please, don't die!

Chu Jinmo, forgive me for really not being able to do more for you.

I ran in the desert with all my strength, I don't know how far I've run, I just know that I'm getting farther and farther away from Chu Jinmo, farther and farther away.

Can't stop, this is the time that Chu Jinmo bought for me with his life, every second is his blood, his life!

Tears were rolling down my eye sockets in the wind, and I didn't wipe them because I couldn't wipe them clean.

There was a dull ache in a part of my body.

After running wildly, I finally lost my strength and fell down a long slope, I let out an exclamation, and then I hit my head on a rock and lost consciousness.

Huo Quai, I really can't go to your side anymore?

In the heavy snow, Huo Qu was sick and dancing the sword.

Pieces of snowflakes couldn't fall on him, and his body was as fast as thunder, like a dragon like water, and he was at ease. The clouds flow smoothly, and the air runs through Changhong.

His obsidian-like dazzling black eyes shone with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, his face carved like a knife was extremely handsome, and his body exuded a powerful king's aura.

Soaring like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon.

I took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat, but he grabbed my hand, his eyes were like magnets and I couldn't take them off, and his face was getting closer and closer.

Until the snow falling from the old locust tree hit his head, we looked at each other and laughed.

These scenes of the past appeared in my dreams, and I muttered to myself, not knowing what Lu Dao was talking about.

Maybe just go on with the dream, at least in the dream, Huo Qu's illness is by my side.

Darkness strikes silently.

"Captain Qiqi! A man was found in front! ”

Gao Buzhi jumped off the horse, he was sent by Huo Quzhi to grab his tongue, but he didn't expect to meet a dying person here.

Gao Buzhi stepped forward and found that it was a man in an alien costume with a delicate face. Gao Buzhi lifted up the dying man on the ground and saw a bruise on his head.

"Bring the water!" The soldier took off the water bag tied to his horse and handed it to Gao Buzhi.

Gao Buzhi opened the water bag and poured water into the man's mouth, and the man was already in a coma at this time. Gao Buzhi picked up the man, but found that he was very lightweight, not at all like the weight of an adult man.

Without much thought, he beat him horizontally on the back of his horse, "Go back to the camp!" ”

Gao Buzhi returned to the camp with the rescued people.

After returning to the camp, he went to Huo Quai's illness to recover his life: "General Huo, there are no people in a radius of dozens of miles, and I only met a person who was injured and fell on the road, so I rescued him." ”

Huo Quzhi waved his hand, indicating that he knew that the army was about to start, and he would continue to rush tomorrow.

After Gao Buzhi replied, he returned to his tent to check on the rescued people.

The person lying on the bed didn't know what kind of dream Lu Dao was having at the moment, one moment crying, the other smiling.

Gao Buzhi looked at this person, and strange thoughts rose in his heart, what kind of dream did he have to laugh and cry? Before I knew it, I was stunned.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Hussar General laughed and passed on the fifteenth word that Chu Jinmo and I were barbecuing on the grassland, and suddenly a bunch of wolves came out of the surroundings. I shouted to Chu Jinmo, "T, resist, I'm long-range DPS." "Finished
