The look on everyone's face can be described in one word: despair. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After so many ups and downs, at the juncture when he was about to return to the motherland, he was caught up by the Hu people again...... Could it still be a failure?
"Everyone, now that I've come here, there's no going back!" He Baihu pulled out his sword: "Please ask the brothers of the Xia family to protect the county lord and send the wedding to the lord to retreat first, and I will wait for the queen of the palace to fight to the death with the Beihu people!" ”
There are nearly 2,000 Hu people. As long as you have the heart to pursue, you can completely divide your troops to intercept Xia Hanxue's team, how can a mere hundred people stop it?
He Baihu's resistance is just better than nothing.
With an order, the whole team began to move south. Running at the front were the county lord and the guards, and the horseless foot soldiers followed in a cart, while He Baihu dragged the rest of the people at the end.
Many stiff faces slowly unfolded. After the sound of drawing a knife, someone laughed and said: "I listened to Shangguan in the camp all day long and said 'loyal to the country, horse leather shroud', and my ears were calloused." Hey, I really didn't expect that Lao Tzu would have a day to play with Hu Ren! That's it, anyway, I have a queen, and I don't have any scruples, just kill enough! The boys who don't have any hair on their mouths are resting and looking at me......"
Someone on the side was immediately unhappy: "Old Han, what did you say?" Can you fight alone? Don't underestimate our young people, it's really right for the Hu people, it's hard to say who is! ”
The old Han who was happy to bloom immediately replied: "Yo, are you still energetic?" Okay, let's compare in a while, and see who cuts down more Beihu people! ”
"I'm afraid of you!"
The Hu people are all one person and two horses, plus the riding skills are superb and the distance is not far, so there is no need to spare horsepower.
As the two sides drew closer, the shaking of the earth became more and more obvious. Slowly, a row of small black dots appeared on the horizon, and the forward of the Beihu people was getting closer and closer to the position where everyone was.
However, the front and back of the team were filled with the sounds of chatting and laughing, and there was no sense of the atmosphere of facing a great enemy.
And the ones who ran at the front were Xiao Jing and Xia Hanxue.
Xiao Jing had heard Qin Ziqian mention it before, saying that don't look at her cousin's delicate and weak, she always travels by car on weekdays, in fact, Xue'er's riding skills are very good, more than a star and a half stronger than her who can only barely ride a horse.
I didn't expect it to be like this!
Before coming to the grassland, Xiao Jing had undergone special training, and his level of horseback riding could only be said to be barely strong. What made him strange was that Xia Hanxue's speed of urging the horse forward was not fast, and he could hardly keep up with it with little effort.
Obviously, her mount is the most miraculous, as long as she is willing to gallop wildly, the Beihu people who can change horses may not be able to catch up, why......
Could it be to take care of me?
In a flash, Xiao Jing denied this idea. He leaned closer to Xia Hanxue and said, "After He Baihu broke off with his brothers, he just wanted you to escape first, don't let down this good intention." They were gone, and it was me and Xia San on top...... Everyone here can die, but only you and Master Ge can't die. If you two make a mistake, there will be no possibility of justifying the grievances of our group and everything on the grassland......"
Xia Hanxue shook her head lightly and did not say a word.
It didn't take long for He Baihu to run a few steps in a hurry, and said loudly: "Please also ask the county lord and the wedding envoy to go south as soon as possible!" We can hold out for a while, and after the two of us get out, we will find a way to fight our way out. The county lord doesn't have to care about the feelings of this way, let alone have the idea of living and dying together! We are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is a matter of duty, and we don't want the county lord to have anything to do......"
Hearing this, Xia Hanxue looked back reluctantly.
Of course, she understood what He Baihu meant. Only when she ran away first, the soldiers escorted were willing to find a way to break through. In other words, if she stays and retreats with everyone, she will harm these people and make them completely lose their last hope of escape!
Xia Hanxue is no longer entangled. She nodded at He Baihu and urged the horse forward.
This time, Xiao Jing barely followed Miss Xia's side with great effort, and the team of more than a dozen people and the guards behind slowly opened a distance.
The sound of the wind, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of shouting behind him that went from vague to gradually audible...... All kinds of voices are intertwined, and even if the person you are talking to is nearby, it is very difficult to talk clearly while galloping.
"No matter what happens, Childe should not leave the slave family...... The slave family will not leave you. Good no good? ”
I don't know if it's to let Xiao Jing hear it, or because the people around the Xia family don't have to avoid anything, Xia Hanxue's volume is very loud. After speaking, she turned her face sideways and smiled, as if this was not a dangerous battlefield, but her boudoir.
Xiao Jing, who was originally engrossed in the horse, was so excited that he almost fell off the horse.
In order to give others a chance to escape, Xia Hanxue can't live and die with the soldiers, but she can rely on him for her life......
This is the legendary "promise of life and death", right?
live, just two people survive together; Die, we will die together vigorously, and in the end, we must let everyone know that we are a couple!
Xiao Jing, who was full of joy, took a few deep breaths and responded, "It's decided so happily!" ”
Not far away, Lian'er, who was riding the same horse with Xia San and was surrounded by him between his arms, leaned harder against Ailang's chest.
I knew that I wanted to gallop on a horse, and I shouldn't have guarded my duty as a maid when the young lady was learning to ride a horse, and stayed aside honestly!
Although his weight is very light, the two of them will still drag him down, right?
So far, Lian'er is not afraid of the Beihu people, what makes her worried is only the safety of her lover.
As if seeing what was on her mind, Xia San said gently: "Don't think about anything." Life and death are fateful, as long as we can be together like Miss and Xiao Jing, what is there to fear? Don't worry, whether it's you or me, we can live, and I still have to tell my lord about marrying you......"
Lian'er let out a soft "um", and she didn't know if Xia San heard it.
The pursuers were only a hundred steps away from Cao Chi.
Even those who talk and laugh and see death as if they were at home are unlikely to be as calm as he is. Everyone else turned around for a while, and he almost kept looking back, looking like "I am afraid that the Beihu people will not chase after him".
Eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps......
Cao Chi, whose eyes were glowing, licked his lips and took a bow and arrow in one go...... When the enemy got closer, he let go of his bowstring.
With a "whoosh", the Beihu people who rushed to the front fell off their horses!
