Chapter 57: Sneak Attack
After Situ Jing and the others left, Murong Jue's smile retracted, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at the minister who interjected just now, the man was frozen by his eyes and was agitated again, he shrunk his neck, and muttered in his mouth: "Is it worth exchanging a minister for an army of 50,000?" ”。
Murong Jue looked at him and said: "To be able to jump from a commoner to a protector in one year, from the rebellion of the King of Chu to the capture of Ula, this person's ability should not be underestimated, only 50,000 Ula troops are not worth it, if this person can be used for me, it will be like a tiger." ”
Murong Jue retracted his gaze and looked out of the door and said, "Yun Murong, Lone must get it, whether he is a god or a man, he has passed Lone's eyes." ”
Then he glanced at the people below, and the ministers below understood, and left one after another.
After Situ Jing came to the annex, he kept thinking about what Murong Jue said, why did he have to Yun Murong, and what benefits did Harigu promise him, he didn't even want money, he had to go against Tianfu.
At this time, Chu Yuan stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, King Huarong seems to be a little aggressive, why is he biting the Lord Protector to death." ”
Situ Jing looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, the straight bamboos were rustling under the breeze, Situ Jing seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes were empty, and he said quietly: "Yun Murong does have the ability to help, in just one year, whether it is in the selection of talents or in the suppression of rebellion, it is indispensable, so it will inevitably attract the attention of the monarchs of the countries, and 50,000 defenders can be exchanged for Yun Murong alone, this transaction can be done a bit big." ”
"Actually, if you want me to say, this is not a big deal, if I would also choose the Lord Protector instead of the 50,000 army." Hua Feng quickly said his praise for Yun Murong.
Chu Yuan looked at him and shook his head, Hua Feng didn't understand what he meant, and he wanted to say anything more but was dragged away by Chu Yuan, leaving Situ Jing alone to be quiet.
Seeing them leaving, Situ Jing sighed deeply, he didn't expect Murong Jue to put forward such a condition, Mu Yunqi turned out to be his target, if he found out Mu Yunqi's identity, it would be very unfavorable to her, so this peace negotiation seemed to be unsuccessful.
Situ Jing began to think about how to end the peace talks, prepare the next step, or meet Huarong Bingrong.
Before Situ Jing could figure out a way out, the guards he brought over there had already been killed, but fortunately, there was a big one who desperately reported to him with his last breath.
Chu Yuan and Hua Feng were still chatting at the door, but before they could separate, they saw a Tianfu soldier covered in blood rush in, and said with his last breath: "Hua Rong attacked us. ”
After saying that, the man lost his breath, and the two of them didn't see it well, so they hurriedly ran back to the house and said to Situ Jing: "Your Highness, it's not good, Huarong attacked our guards, let's run." ”
"The two countries are at war without killing, and this King Huarong is too villainous." Hua Feng said angrily.
Situ Jing hurriedly picked up his sword, "Huarong He once talked about etiquette, go quickly!" ”
It was too late, and at this time, there were already Huarong's soldiers rushing into the annex where they were, and all three of them drew their weapons, ready to rush out of a bloody path, when several balls fell from the sky, hitting the ground heavily and popping out thick smoke.
A voice whispered in the ears of the three of them, "Hurry up." ”
The man dragged Situ Jing, and the three of them followed him out of the annex. The comer had been running with them all night, and several of them were so tired that they came to a wood.
The man was also tired and panting and said, "I'll send you here, and if you go five days forward, you should reach the Tianfu border." ”
Situ Jing also gasped and said: "Thank you Shaoxia for saving me, dare to ask Shaoxia's name, he will repay Shaoxia for saving his life." ”
The man waved his hand, "Saving His Highness is also entrusted by others, don't dare to ask for repayment, the road ahead is not easy to walk, you should be more careful." ”
After saying that, the man disappeared without a trace in one leap, and Chu Yuan came to Situ Jing and said, "Look at this light exercise, it's a little familiar." ”
Situ Jing glanced at him, as if he wanted to say something, but finally only said: "Let's go, go back and discuss how to attack Huarong." ”
The three of them took advantage of the dawn to find a hidden place to take a break and seize the time, there are still several days to go, maybe there are still many obstacles, it is necessary to recuperate.
Situ Jing's escape made Murong Jue very angry, and said angrily at the people below: "Aren't you quite able to talk about it on weekdays, it's all a waste when you do business, hurry up and chase after me, you must not let him return to Tianfu alive, otherwise the war is imminent." ”
The people below didn't dare to come out, so they were ordered to hurry up and kill Situ and them.
After Murong Jue finished his anger, the person became quieter, walked to the birdcage he raised, filled the bird, and asked the eunuch beside him, "Has the person Harigu asked for has been sent?" ”
The eunuch bowed his head and replied: "It has been sent, and it is estimated that it has arrived in the capital of Tianfu at this time." ”
Murong Jue teased the bird and said, "Harigu, don't let Gu down. ”
Situ Jing and the others picked a small road and ran for two days, according to the person who rescued them, they could return to Tianfu after holding on for another three days, and the three of them ran back with all their strength to rest again.
At this moment, Chu Yuan seemed to hear something, and immediately lay on the ground to listen carefully, and then said, "There are a large number of horse teams passing by, what should I do?" Could it be the one who captured us? ”
Situ Jing thought for a while and said, "Go up the tree first, no matter who observes it, it will be faster if you can grab a few horses to do your leg strength." ”
After saying that, the three of them jumped to the hidden tree to observe the scene below, only to see a group of soldiers passing by with spears in their hands, and suddenly stopped under their tree.
At this time, a man dismounted and checked the footprints on the ground, and after looking at it for a while, he got up and said to a leader: "Squire, the footprints tracked along the way have disappeared here. ”
The man asked, "Have you looked carefully?" ”
"Look closely, their shoe prints are different from ours, definitely them."
The three people in the tree all looked at their shoes, and they really didn't notice this problem, but they actually tracked it down for this reason.
The three of them looked below, there were only about a dozen people in total, with their martial arts, the three of them drew up a plan, jumped down from the tree and took the lives of the squire and the tracker, the sudden assassination caught the group of people by surprise, and they chose to escape.
The three men wiped out the group and robbed three horses. Situ Jing looked at the shoes on his feet, and then at the few corpses on the ground, picked up their shoes and put them on, and muttered: "I almost overturned in the gutter." ”
Although the other two people disliked it, they had no choice but to choose a suitable pair to change into and tie their shoes around their waists.
The three of them rode on their horses and ran forward, who knew that the dozen or so people just now were just exploring the way ahead, and soon a large number of people and horses caught up, and the three of them saw that this was a plan, so they first used a few people to lead them out, and then chased them with a large number of people and horses.
The three of them desperately urged their horses to run, thinking of a way to get rid of the pursuit, but obviously the surrounding environment did not create favorable conditions for them, so the three of them had to urge the horses to run quickly.
The three of them ran at high speed and kept an eye on the pursuers behind them, but they didn't notice the scene in front of them, and by the time they realized that there was a canyon in front of them, it was too late.
Chu Yuan's horse was the first to leap up, followed by Situ Jing and Hua Feng's horse. Chu Yuan's horse stepped to the opposite side and barely stepped on the opposite bank, pedaled a few steps before steady, and ran forward a few steps before stopping.
Situ Jing was not so lucky, his horse's front hooves barely stepped on the opposite bank, and the hind hooves kicked on the cliff wall, intending to climb up, Situ Jing pulled out his sword and stuck it in the gap of the cliff wall. And Hua Feng was even more miserable, his horse didn't even touch the edge of the cliff, Situ Jing saw the situation and shouted: "Grab my hand." ”
Hua Feng reacted quickly, and immediately grabbed Situ Jing's outstretched hand. Situ Ying's horse eyes saw no hope of climbing up, Situ Ying looked at Hua Feng swinging below, and used his strength to swing Hua Feng up and throw him up on the cliff.
The sword inserted in the gap was broken at the moment when Situ Jing got off the cliff because of the heavy effort, Situ Jing fell straight down, he reached out and touched the letter on his chest, it was Mu Yunqi's last letter, and the red letters were written to the news that still excites him to this day, "Brother Jing, I am pregnant." ”
Situ Jing smiled and muttered as he fell: "Qi'er, I can't accompany you and the child, take care of yourself." After speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for the sharp pain at the moment of landing.
When Chu Yuan on the shore chased after him, Situ Jing had already fallen, and he reached out to fish for a void. The moment Hua Feng was thrown ashore by Situ Jing, he wanted to use his strength to pull Situ Jing again, but he didn't want to let go of his hand, and it was too late to catch Situ Jing when he turned around.
The two of them watched Situ Jing fall into the canyon, and they could only call him desperately. There was a row of knights standing on the opposite shore, and when they saw that the king of Tianfu Qin had fallen off the cliff, they turned their horses and went back to resume their lives. Chu Yuan stared at the backs of the group of people, his eyes were red, and his face was distorted and shouted, "Tianfu will definitely take revenge." ”
The two of them stayed on the shore, not knowing where to stay, Hua Feng sat on the edge of the cliff and looked at the bottomless canyon below and asked, "What should I do?" Just go back? ”
Chu Yuan stroked the horse's head, looked at the sunset that was about to set, and thought about Situ Jing's kindness to him for so many years and said: "You go back to your life first, let Tianfu know what is happening here, and I will go down to the canyon to find His Highness." ”
He showed a light smile and said: "Your Highness has a great life, and there has been nothing wrong in your life, I may have hope if I look for it." ”
Hua Feng looked at him and wanted to say, "I'll go with you." But thinking that one of the two people always wanted to go back to report the news, then he nodded and got up and said "Okay".
The two of them separated by the canyon, one continued to walk back to Tianfu, and the other went around the canyon to find people.
