Chapter Seventy-Six: Returning to Beijing and Encountering an Ambush
"I knew that Qing'er would inevitably return to Beijing after she woke up, so I asked Qian'er to go to Yin Zhuxiao's side in advance. I have everything arranged and can leave for Beijing at any time. ”
"Otherwise, you should stay in Meiling." Rong Qingshu fell asleep for two days, and after waking up, he was already radiant, and the injury on his ankle had almost recovered.
But Feng Qiansu is tired, and the injuries on his body are not good, if he travels for a long time, how can his body eat.
"Don't worry, I have rough skin and thick meat, and I can still afford to eat these tosses. Qing'er packed up first, and I went to get someone to prepare the carriage. ”
"The carriage is too slow, if you ride a horse, the horse is fast, and it only takes three days to return to Beijing. I just don't know if you can resist it. "Yu Muchen suffered a big loss in Biling Mountain, and it is very likely that he will vent his anger on the Rong family.
Although she didn't dare to delay any longer, she couldn't ignore Feng Qiansu's body in the slightest.
"Qing'er doesn't have to worry about me, in the past two days, Huolan has carefully conditioned my body, and she is already fine."
At this time, Huo Lan pushed the door with a serious expression, "Feng Gongzi's wound has not healed yet, and he can't ride a horse at all; And the master's body is seriously damaged, and he is even more tired along the way. If you are in a hurry to return to Beijing, it is not impossible to travel lightly, so why do you have to ride a horse. ”
"Feng Qiansu, you better stay." She had to return to Beijing immediately, and the carriage would take at least five days to travel.
"Qing'er, if you insist on letting me stay, I will promise you, but I will still secretly follow you back to Beijing."
For Rong Qingshu, Huolan has always been unpersuadable, but he didn't expect that Feng Qiansu was such a stubborn person, "It's really more stubborn than the other, but you have to promise that if you feel unwell, you must not be strong." ”
"Okay, let's go now." Now that the decision has been made, Rong Qingshu naturally did not delay any longer, and immediately lifted the futon and got out of bed.
But after getting out of bed, a piece of jade pendant that fell from her body made her breathe sluggish.
It was the unicorn jade pendant that she had snatched from Yan Yi's side, and the last time she broke up with Yan Yi, she forgot to return it.
Feng Qiansu saw the jade pendant on the ground, and thought of Rong Qingshu's change in attitude towards Yan Yi, and said tentatively: "Qing'er didn't return the jade pendant to Yan Yi? ”
"I forgot, after returning to Beijing this time, I will return it to him." Rong Qingshu grabbed his sleeve and picked up the jade pendant as if nothing had happened.
Something seemed to flash in Feng Qiansu's eyes, "Yan Yi is also in the capital?" ”
"Yan Yi is not in the capital, it has nothing to do with me. I still have some things to pack, so go out and wait for me. ”
After Rong Qingshu spent the wind and the blue, he took out the Ning Bi Jing Lotus that he had cultivated with his heart's work.
The blood in the black jade bowl has long been absorbed, and the seeds have also sprouted tender white buds.
"In the past two days, I have wronged you." Rong Qingshu soaked a silk handkerchief, wrapped the seeds, and put them in the moist sachet around his waist.
"Second girl, Feng Gongzi, we are still thirty miles away from the city gate." After the killer turmoil in the inn, Rong Ying had already turned the darkness into light, escorting Rong Qingshu and others back to Beijing all the way.
Rong Qingshu has been away from the capital for six years, and the capital has already been turned upside down.
Although she came back once during this period, this capital still cannot coincide with the capital in her memory.
There are even several official roads that have been rerouted, and if there is no Rongying, her trip may not be so smooth.
And this smooth seems to be a bit unusual, Rong Qing's anxiety in his heart is becoming more and more obvious, and he always feels that there will be a big change in the city.
"Everyone be vigilant and enter the city as soon as possible, something is wrong here." As if to verify Rong Qing's guess, the further he went, the more silent and even a little weird it became.
Even though this is an inaccessible mountain forest, it is impossible not to have the chirping of birds and beasts.
There was only the sound of horses' hooves in a group, and the sound of horses' hooves that was clearly audible to her ears was about to burst her ears, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to step on the tip of her heart.
"Qing'er, this is the only way to enter the city, although it is late, it is impossible not to make a sound at all, I am afraid that there is an ambush here, we must be careful." Feng Qiansu also noticed that this place was unusual.
"It's not good, everyone turn around." Rong Qingshu reminded with a straight face.
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to delay, and turned their horses' heads one after another.
Although everyone retreated in an orderly manner, they had not yet retreated a few steps before explosions sounded one after another around them.
Several people were unaware of the fact that under the relentless onslaught of gunpowder, their torsos were separated from their bodies.
"Protect the second girl, the wind boy!" Although the sound of the explosion was deafening, it failed to swallow the leader's order.
"Yes!" Rong Ying, who escaped for the time being, planned to surround and protect Rong Qingshu and Feng Qian.
But the steed was startled by the sudden loud noise, and kept calling, and fled in all directions, and galloped wildly.
Rong Qingshu immediately decided, "Abandon the horse and gather together!" "If it is an ambush, it is impossible to only have gunpowder, there should be a lot of work ahead.
Before the crowd could gather together, a dense array of arrows came at them.
"Cover Qing'er's retreat." Feng Qiansu blocked in front of Rong Qingshu, and while cutting the arrows in front of him, he ordered.
The arrows are overwhelming, and even if the Shadows are extremely martial arts and can dodge the arrows, this is only temporary.
If the opponent has enough arrows, there is no need to show up for battle, just keep releasing arrows, and once their physical strength is exhausted, there is only one way to die.
"Leave me alone, scatter and hide behind the ancient trees." Rong Qingshu did not completely rely on others for protection, he clenched a long sword in his hand, and under the dense arrows, even if the old wounds were not healed and his body was weak, he did not show weakness.
She has the power to protect herself, and if she lets the shadows stand in front of her, she will inevitably lose a lot.
It is not easy for the Rong family to cultivate Rongying, and they cannot tolerate such loss.
"Master, go to the right!" Huolan said urgently.
There's a boulder over there, and hiding two or three people isn't a problem at all.
"The wind migrates, and the indigo retreats behind the boulder." Rong Qingshu fought and retreated, and after a while, he retreated behind the boulder.
I thought I could take a breath, but after retreating to the boulder, Rong Qingshu's face changed greatly.
"Second girl, Feng Gongzi, we have gunpowder and oil here." After a while, there were exclamations from the shadows.
"It is a fierce fire oil, which ignites when it encounters fire, and the water douses the fire to get hotter and hotter. Yu Muchen really did not hesitate to spend his blood in order to put me to death. Rong Qingshu smiled coldly.
Between the foreheads of Feng Qiansu, the green tendons burst out, "Listen to it, everyone find an open place to lie down." ”
Rong Qingshu looked at the increasingly sparse rain of arrows, and his face was as gloomy as water.
"If there is fierce gunpowder and oil, then the next wave of arrows will be rockets. The wind was southwesterly, and it was on their side, coupled with the dry weather in autumn, once a fire broke out, the consequences were unimaginable. If you retreat, you will inevitably be swept into the fire; If you want to survive, you can only fight with your life and stand out from the encirclement. No wonder there will be a hole in the back road, and life is death. While speaking, Rong Qingshu and Feng Qiansu had already walked out of the boulder and rushed forward.
Not to be outdone, the Celestials and Shadows followed.
"Gunpowder and oil were forbidden in the ancient imperial palace, and King Chen, relying on the favor of the saints, dared to be so unscrupulous in the important land of Gyeonggi."
"Even if he had the means to get it, it was limited. If it is arson, then the other party's camp is the safest. Taking advantage of the fact that the offensive is now suspended, we hastened to break out of the encirclement. Rong Qingshu knew that if the number of the other party was far superior to them, with more than ten people running around for days, it would not be easy to break through. But if you don't try, you can only sit back and wait, which is not her style.
"Qing'er is reasonable, even if he dies, he has to do a hearty job, if he burns to death like this, he will die too aggrieved." With a swing of his sword, he first met the enemy's rockets, sending a rain of arrows down in front of them that were free of combustibles.
Seeing this, Rong Ying consciously formed a barrier in front of Rong Qingshu and tried to stop the rocket.
Even if he was hit by an arrow, the blazing flames on his body did not flinch, but became more and more courageous.
However, with all the effort, there were still rockets that jumped towards the fierce fire oil.
In an instant, everyone was in a sea of fire.
Since there is no way out, then the cauldron will be wrecked and the battle will be fought against the water.
Yu Muchen, you are ruthless and leave no way to live, in a sense, it has also fulfilled us.
The Rongying are extremely disciplined in battle, covering their mouths and noses, bowing down, working in groups of three, helping each other, coupled with their strong will, they are extraordinary people, although there are casualties, the losses are not heavy.
"Listen to those on the other side, the fire is not big at the moment, you can still breathe, and it will not be long before the fire will consume you. Rong Qingshu's lackeys, if you know each other, hurry up and hand over Rong Qingshu and get out of Lao Tzu as soon as possible! While the person on the other side was talking, the rain of arrows also stopped for a while.
It seems that Yu Muchen wants to live, since this is the case......
"Rong Ying can only die in battle, and never escape." Feng Qiansu's categorical words showed his attitude.
"Swear to protect the second girl!" The neat and loud voices of the shadows resounded through the sky.
"It seems that you are going to be foolish. Listen to them all, stay and breathe a sigh of relief, and the rest of the people, not a single one! Keep firing the arrows! ”
"Wait!" Rong Qingshu suddenly opened his mouth to block it.
"Rong Qingshu, what do you want to say?" The person who spoke laughed wildly.
"Let them live, I'll go with you!"
"Hahaha! Now that Lao Tzu has changed his mind, watching a group of ants struggling in the sea of fire is very much in line with Lao Tzu's wishes. The people on the other side were laughing wildly and laughing unscrupulously.
"If you can take a corpse and give it to you, that's it!" The sword shining with cold light in Rong Qingshu's hand was horizontal in front of the slender and white neck, and before long, the sword edge was stained with a touch of bright red and dazzling blood, and the azure collar after the rain was also soaked in blood, blurring the original color.
The person on the other side stopped talking and seemed to be thinking.
