On the evening of June 13, a fast horse galloped south on a road from Dingzhou to Yingzhou.

Immediately it was a veiled woman dressed in black.

At this time, it was less than fifty miles away from Yingzhou City.

The woman in black is named Qin Elegy.

She could have arrived in Yingzhou two days earlier, but she encountered something on the road a few days ago, so she was delayed for two days.

Yesterday, she heard the news of the fall of Yingzhou, and heard that the generals and soldiers defending the city were all wiped out.

On this day, the closer I got to Yingzhou City, I also met many people who fled and left.

After questioning, she learned that some of these people were villagers outside the city of Yingzhou, and some had escaped from the city and were scattered.

And through the oral accounts of these people, many different versions of the news have also been circulated.

Yes, the heads of the generals defending the city of Yingzhou have been hung on the city wall to demonstrate.

Some of the generals were shot at the city walls by arrows.

Some of the generals were captured alive and divided by the Xijin people with more than a dozen horses, and the corpses were broken all over the city walls of Yingzhou.

There are even more hanging, this general was hacked to death by the soldiers of Xijin with a random knife, and when he died, his body was still standing on the city wall, standing still.

In short, none of them are good news.

As for who this general is, in fact, these people don't know, they only know that when they withdrew from the city, Lord Qin, the governor of Yingzhou, this general's surname is Zhang, and he was sent by the imperial court.

"Girl, now that Yingzhou City has fallen into the hands of the Xijin people, the general surnamed Zhang is afraid that he has also been killed by the Xijin people, so the girl should go to Fengyang Mansion with us for refuge! Don't go to Yingzhou. ”

On the official road, an aunt holding a child was facing a woman in black on a horse.

Qin Elegy gently bowed his hand to her: "Thank you for the aunt's information, dare to ask the aunt, has anyone seen this general killed by the Xijin people?" ”

The lady shook her head: "We were all evacuated from the east gate of the city by Lord Qin, and the court general was guarding the city on the west wall of the city, how can we see it!" But many people know that this imperial general only brought 2,000 people to defend the city, and the Xijin people had 30,000 people, it was because he knew that the city could not be defended, so this imperial court general let us evacuate the people of Yingzhou, and he defended the city just to buy us more time, this imperial court general is really a good person! ”

The eldest lady sighed: "The evening before, I also heard about the destruction of the city of Yingzhou, this imperial court general has died heroically, I originally followed the team of Qin Darao people, but because the news of the city was broken, everyone was worried that the Xijin people would chase after them, so many people ran away, I took my grandson, I couldn't run, so I didn't catch up with everyone." ”

Qin Elegy was silent for a moment, and said to the aunt again: "Auntie, if you want to go to Fengyang Mansion, you have to go east, you have already gone north, there are still more than 300 miles away from Fengyang Mansion, you now have a village more than 20 miles to the east, you should be able to get there before night, but I don't know if the villagers there have left, if not, you can rest there for one night." ”

"Huh?" The eldest lady was stunned for a while, then looked up at the boundless field, and hurriedly thanked Qin Elegy: "Thank you girl for telling me, if I hadn't met the girl, I wouldn't have known where I went." ”

Qin Elegy took the reins and said to her: "Auntie, I still have something urgent, I have to go, take care of Auntie." ”

"Girl, Yingzhou can't go again."

Seeing Qin Elegy in the direction of Yingzhou City, the eldest lady hurriedly shouted.

It's just that Qin Elegy's horses have already galloped far away, and their voices can't be heard.

After bidding farewell to this aunt, Qin Elegy lay on his horse and hurried away, praying in his heart.

Since she learned the news of the fall of Yingzhou and the many rumors that came from her yesterday, she was in a hurry, and the court general surnamed Zhang in the mouth of those refugees should be Ming Heng.

"Ming Heng, you must not have anything to do, you are so smart and powerful, how can you be killed by the Xijin people? If you don't believe it, you won't believe it, you will definitely find you..."

Either way, she's going to sneak into the city first.

……

On the morning of June 14, a dazzling ray of sunlight shone through the green leaves

Zhang Xiang slowly opened his eyes.

What I saw was a strange rock overhead.

I looked left and right, and it was also a strange stone wall, and there was a pile of burned firewood next to it.

He quickly judged that it was a cave entrance.

He instinctively moved, and suddenly felt numbness in his limbs, unable to move, and looked down, only to find that he was wrapped in bandages all over his body.

He quickly recalled that, he only remembered that the woman in red with a delicate body and a single long braid rescued him from the city, he was still awake, but when she was carried on the horse, he was bumped and fainted.

I am really blessed with a great life.

Zhang Xiang showed a wry smile, originally thought that he was in a catastrophe, but he didn't expect such a woman to suddenly appear and save him.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave.

Then the delicate body came into view, and she walked in with a bundle of new wood in her hand.

She instinctively glanced at Zhang Xiang, and when she saw Zhang Xiang's open eyes, the woman showed a smile and said casually: "Are you awake?" ”

The woman placed the new wood next to the burned campfire, then sat down and wiped her sweat lightly.

Zhang Xiang sat up with his body propped up and looked at the woman in red in front of him.

The appearance is exquisite, delicate, and he still combs that chic single long braid hanging down on his chest.

"Thank you, girl, for saving your life." Zhang Xiang thanked her.

The woman smiled and said: "Anyway, I also want to flee for my life, I heard that the people on the city wall, the generals who defend the city are still alive, so I think that since I want to escape, I will take you with me to escape, so that those Xijin people, my generals who defend the city, will not die in battle." ”

The woman was funny, and Zhang Xiang also laughed: "What is the difference between me, a general who lost the city in battle, and death?" ”

"Hey..."The woman stretched her neck and suddenly asked, "I listen, you were sent by the imperial court?" So you're from Bianjing? ”

"It's not." Zhang Xiang shook his head: "The imperial court actually doesn't know that I came to Yingzhou, I came from Pingzhou, and I am not a general." ”

"Then how did you become a defender? How could the governor of Yingzhou listen to you? Give the city to you? The woman's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhang Xiang wanted to scratch his head, but he couldn't lift his hand and could only give up: "I have a little relationship with the imperial court!" That's why Lord Qin and Commander Ji listened to me, the city needs to be guarded, even if you know that you can't hold it, it also represents an attitude, the people need people to evacuate, Lord Qin and Commander Ji have to take on this heavy responsibility, so I can only defend the city. ”

"Oh!" The woman glanced at him with a look of sudden realization, and suddenly understood: "It has something to do with the imperial court?" Are you a prince? ”

"Uh... It's not," Zhang Xiang shook his head.

"Then you are the prince of the prince?"

"It's not..."

"Then you are the prince?"

"No, the emperor is more than forty years old, is there a prince as young as me?"

"Then you are the son of a minister of the court?"

"It's not either..."

Looking at the woman's curious and interested eyes, Zhang Xiang couldn't cry or laugh.

I really can't connect this curious baby in front of me with the decisive heroine who saved him from the city.

"And who the hell are you?" The woman in red was also puzzled and thought alone.

Zhang Xiang said: "Don't guess, although I have something to do with the imperial court, I am not so close, anyway, you should treat me as a member of the imperial court." ”

"If you don't pull it down, I'm not interested." The woman turned her head, took out the fire fold, and raised the firewood.

Zhang Xiang looked outside the cave and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"This is a cave!" The woman suddenly turned her head to look at him again: "I'll follow you, this is a wolf cave." ”

"Uh..."

The woman puffed and said, "Look at what scares you, don't worry, I killed all the wolves here." ”

"Hehe..."Zhang Xiang also laughed: "I'm asking you where is the place where the cave is located?" ”

The woman shrugged: "I don't know, I only know that I ran south after I took you out of Yingzhou City from the west of Yingzhou City, and ran here as soon as I ran." ”

To the south?

That should be in the direction of Lizhou.

Zhang Xiang probably knew a specific location in his heart.

He touched the bandage on his right arm and tugged at his upper body, and felt that the wound from the arrow in his left shoulder was no longer so painful.

The woman picked up the clay pot next to her, and then mashed some herbs next to her and put them into the clay pot, and after seeing his movements, she said loudly: "Don't move, your injuries are too serious, you have been in a coma for three, this is the fourth, I have pulled out the arrow on your left shoulder, and the wounds on your body have also been medicated, although the injuries have been stopped, but your internal strength is too much loss, so the internal injuries are not light, and you need to drink a few more medicines to barely walk." ”

The woman muttered to herself: "Fortunately, I learned some more medicine methods from Master and Senior Brother, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to save you from such a serious injury." ”

"Three?" The woman's words made Zhang Xiang give up his movements, but he took a look at his naked upper body and glanced at the woman with a puzzled look: "You took off my clothes?" ”

"Who else but me?" The woman looked at him with a grin.

Zhang Xiang unconsciously picked up the clothes beside him.

The woman said disdainfully: "I've seen everything I should see, what's the big deal, I don't take off your clothes, how can I heal you?" I don't dislike a girl's family, you are a big man, what are you twisting! ”

Zhang Xiang smiled dryly and put down his clothes again.

Oh, yes! I'm a big man, and I don't suffer.

He asked, "By the way, girl, why are you in Yingzhou City?" How could you suddenly save me? ”

The woman replied casually: "I went to Yingzhou to look for my master, but I didn't find it, I have been in Yingzhou City for a long time, and suddenly I got the news that the Xijin army was attacking the city, and I originally wanted to leave, but the city gate was closed, so I thought it would be better to stay and kill a few more Xijin people before leaving." The first siege of Xijin, I heard that the defender of the city was a general from the imperial court, he could hold Yingzhou City, that Xijin offensive and fierce, I thought I couldn't hold it, but I didn't expect to hold it at night. That night, the officers and soldiers suddenly dispatched and notified the people to evacuate, so I went out to catch an officer and soldier to investigate, only to know that there were only 4,000 people left to defend the city, and in order to protect the people of the city, the generals had to choose to abandon Yingzhou City and evacuate with 2,000 escorts, leaving only 2,000 people to defend the city. ”

The woman looked at him with a little admiration: "You, a general, can take care of the safety of the people in the city at this moment, I think you are not bad, a good person, so after the city was broken, when the Xijin people attacked, I thought to see if I could save you, so I killed the city wall, but you are not dead, and then I saved you, you saved more than 70,000 people in a city, it would be a pity if you died like this!" ”

Listening to the woman's words, Zhang Xiang could only smile bitterly: "But the city is still broken, and I can't hold it." ”

He didn't expect that he was rescued because of this, and he didn't know if it was a good intention.

The woman said: "You can use 7,000 people to hold 30,000 people in Xijin, and you can safely evacuate the people of the whole city, it is already very powerful, although the city is broken, but it is not your fault, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is so big, no one can defend it!" ”

The woman put the pounded herbs into the clay pot, and then said: "I Tang Yun admires the courageous people the most in my life, in the face of so many people in the Xijin army, you did not choose to retreat, nor did you abandon the city and flee, but chose to stick to the fight with the Xijin people to the end, this is the real hero, much stronger than those who can only talk nicely, and the enemy will be frightened and flee when they come." ”

"Huh...?"

Hearing the woman report to her home, Zhang Xiang was stunned for a moment.

Tang Yun?

The name sounded familiar to him.

After thinking for a while, he stared at the woman and was stunned.

The woman put the clay pot on the burned bonfire, and when she saw Zhang Xiang's strange gaze, she was also curious: "What do you think I am doing?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”

"Your name is Tang Yun?" Zhang Xiang's eyes were strange, because he thought of the high martial arts that this woman displayed when she rescued him.

"That's right! What's wrong? ”

"Are you from Miaojiang? On the rivers and lakes, she is known as the Miao Jiangqi woman, also known as the Miao Jiang Witch, is there a senior brother named Dugu Liuying? Your master is Tie Jiangli, who is known as the old monster of the Divine Fist in the rivers and lakes? ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Now, it was the woman's turn to be curious.

"Hahaha..."

Zhang Xiang laughed happily, shook his head and said to himself in surprise: "I really didn't expect it, is this fate?" I have been rescued by all three of your masters and apprentices, and I have seen your master and brother, I originally thought that the Miao Jiang Witch was also a strange woman who was personally feared, but I didn't expect it to be like you. ”

"Have you seen my master and brother?"

The woman in red named Tang Yun was surprised.

"I've seen it, I've seen it, it's too familiar."

Zhang Xiang laughed: "When I was in Pingzhou, I had a relationship with your master, he rescued me, and later in Rong County, was besieged by the Jianghu people, it was your senior brother Dugu Liuying who helped, and I also escaped, and now, it is you who saved me, and I really have a fate with your master and apprentice." ”

Then, Tang Yun's gaze at him gradually became weird... (August first, ask for votes~!) ）
