Chapter 141: You're Just Relying on Me to Care About You
The lantern on the tower swayed in the wind, and the dim light shattered to the ground, and the two men on horseback looked at each other without moving.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance seemed to fade away, and the snowflakes fell on their shoulders one after another, as warm as a painting.
Ling Kite flew away from the snow on her shoulder, and her eyes were heavy and uncertain.
After a long time, she slowly spoke, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Xie Fenghua raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Miss, I don't have the heart to joke with you. ”
Ling Yuanfei watched it for a long time, and didn't see any jokes on Xie Fenghua's face, and then realized the seriousness of the matter. After thinking for a while, he said: "This is a matter of life and death for the city, how dare you do this?" Mrs. Yuan, should I say that you are so bold that you are unbelievable? ”
This is the first time she has called out this name in so long years.
When Xie Fenghua heard those four words, there was a moment of stunned in his expression.
But it was quickly relieved.
Before, Ling Fei never asked her name and identity, and she didn't know it, let alone take the initiative to mention it. She thought it was just because it didn't matter. But at this moment, she felt in a trance that it wasn't unimportant, maybe it was because she didn't care.
- Because I don't care, I can still make such an intimate move with her without knowing it; Because I don't care, I can calmly say these questioning words when confronting each other at this moment.
With this so-called "cognition", her heart was inexplicably extremely comfortable, and even the guilt that had been bothering her for a long time was all dissipated, and the whole person was indescribably refreshed.
But I heard her say: "Am I bold enough, don't you also know?" Anyway, my words are already here! ”
"I'm so sure, I'll help you?" Ling Fei smiled slightly, looked up at the people on the city tower, and continued, "In the end, it's all your business. If I help, I might get into trouble. If I don't help, I have nothing to lose, don't you say? ”
"Then it's a different way." Xie Fenghua lazily raised his eyes, glanced at Tang Mengqian on the upper floor of the city, and said in a cold voice, "You help me dispose of these people, and I will allow you to stay by my side." ”
"Ha......" made Kite Fei almost burst into tears, "Do you know what you're talking about......"
Next to him, Jiang Yu poked Du Huaishao's arm, stunned, "Are you sure, this young lady is real?" ”
Du Huaishao glanced at him, "It's not true, is it still fake?" ”
"Then why ......" Jiang Yu pointed to the two people in an intimate posture and rubbed his eyes, looking incredulous.
"How do I know?" Du Huaishao stretched his neck, looked in the direction where the Northern Underworld had killed, and reminded loudly, "Young lady, people are about to arrive ......."
Xie Fenghua suddenly tightened his fingers, lowered his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "How are you thinking about it?" In a battle, it is better for me to give you the opportunity to stay by my side than for you to hide and hide......"
She deliberately bit the words "above board", but Kite Fei slowly restrained her smile and looked at her like a stranger.
Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and replied, "As you wish." ”
As soon as Xie Fenghua let go of her hand, she jumped back on her horse, her clothes fluttered, the horse's hooves raised, and in the blink of an eye, a person and a horse had already rushed out.
She was followed by the subordinates brought out of the Ana's tribe, all with solemn expressions, their eyes solemn, and a thick murderous aura that suddenly permeated the entire battlefield.
On the city tower, Tang Mengqian suddenly roared angrily, "Xie Er, what do you mean by this?" How dare you fool me? ”
"Tang Shizi, where do you start with this?" Xie Fenghua looked up at her and said meaningfully, "You only said that you wanted to repel the people of the Northern Underworld, but you didn't say who would fight them." Isn't it? ”
Tang Mengqian patted the city wall hatefully, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably.
Xie Fenghua watched from a distance, taking the resentment on his face, unwilling to wait for emotions into his eyes, and his heart was full of ridicule.
Unwilling?
The unwilling expression of Ling Yuanfei and others is really intriguing!
Jiang Yu pointed at those people and said dumbfounded: "Where did these people come from?" ”
With such a strong murderous aura and such strict discipline, it is like an elite army that has been on the battlefield for a long time.
Du Huaishao was also quite shocked, and muttered: "These people are all hidden forces in the Ana's tribe. At the beginning, if he was co-opted by Tomorrow Yu, the consequences would be really unimaginable......"
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xie Fenghua, but saw that she was shrouded in a warm yellow light, the fox fur was blown by the wind and hunted, and the side was three points beautiful and seven points clear, but he didn't know if she walked into the painting, or if it turned into a wonderful painting itself.
He wondered, did this person have already guessed the hidden power of the Ana tribe, so he left the army behind and insisted on sneaking into the island with people?
In this way, she also knows what Ling Yuanfei is?
"You two come here," Xie Fenghua directly ignored his burning gaze, and when they got closer, he said in a low voice, "You wait for this ......"
The three of them met to discuss something, and after a while, Jiang Yu hesitated a little and said, "Young lady, wouldn't this be too risky?" ”
Du Huaishao was also a little uncertain, "Moreover, there is a huge disparity in the number of people, and it will take time to get around here, and it may not be ......successful."
"This is a military order! Military orders are like mountains, do you understand? Xie Fenghua swept his eyes directly, and the two of them shrunk their necks together, not daring to question it anymore.
Although Ling Fei led people to meet the enemy and stopped part of the enemy army, but the other part also rushed towards the city gate with ferocity, Xie Fenghua and the others immediately mixed into the enemy army, with knives in their hands, blood spilled, corpses scattered, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was hell on earth.
In the crowd, however, a group of people quietly retreated out of the battle and soon disappeared into the night.
Xie Fenghua watched from afar, and his eyes were a little more relaxed. As far as she knew, there were mountains and barren forests on both sides of the city gate, and only by passing from there could their confrontation with Tang Mengqian have a turnaround.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a roar in her ears, and then, her face was hot, and the rich smell of blood invaded all her sense of smell.
She wiped the sticky and warm blood on her face, looked up, but saw Ling Yuanfei holding two knives into a person's chest, and the next moment, with a kick of her foot, the blood column spurted, and the real white knife went in and out of the red knife.
Xu was aware of her gaze, and ordered Kite Fei to fight with his two knives, and the sonorous sound was quickly drowned out in the sound of fighting on the battlefield, but he looked at her and said, "Young Lady Yuan, you owe me a life!" ”
Xie Fenghua tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I didn't let you save me!" ”
"But I saved it!" Ling Fei didn't seem to hear the meaning of her words, and continued, "Since I saved it, then you have to be grateful to me, don't you?" ”
Xie Fenghua leaned back, dodging a person's killing move, but the soft sword in his hand had already wrapped around the person's neck, and in an instant, his body was in a different place. Her movements were skillful and decisive, and the cold light on the sword swept through like a long practice, reflecting the cold and murderous aura in her eyes, as if it was different from the cold appearance of the past.
Ling Fei knew that he shouldn't focus on this at this time, but he couldn't control his eyes. Even if she was alive and dead, her eyes were still closely following Xie Fenghua, and she didn't know what she thought she was looking at.
Xie Fenghua didn't look back, but he could feel the strong gaze on his body, but there was an indescribable contradiction and complexity in his heart.
The encounter with Ling Kite Fei was an accident. Not to mention that she has Yuan Minzhou, even if she is alone, she will not indulge in the love of her children, especially the emotions from another woman.
So, she couldn't understand what she was doing.
All along, she has clearly drawn a line between each other, and she doesn't even ask Ling Fei anything. For her, staying by Ling Yuanfei's side was just a helpless move. If she can really find any clues, it is also her ability, and it has nothing to do with Ling Yuanfei.
She thinks she maintains such a relationship well.
But Ling Fei didn't think so, and after several struggles, she finally leaned to Xie Fenghua's side and asked curiously, "You don't seem to have any curiosity?" ”
Xie Fenghua was surprised and asked, "Please forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what the eldest lady meant." ”
"I mean, aren't you curious about me?" Ling Fei nodded her forehead, such an action looked extremely frivolous, and in the chaos of the battle between the two soldiers, this action seemed quite inappropriate.
Xie Fenghua's face changed, and he subconsciously widened the distance from her, and his lips pursed into a word.
She had to deal with the enemies around her, and she had to block some hidden arrows from time to time, and only after a long time did she say, "What does the eldest lady want me to be curious about?" Who are you? Why are you able to lead your troops into battle? Or why are you going down the mountain with me? ”
"Isn't that enough?" Ling Fei kicked away the corpse that fell towards her, dusted off her sleeves in disgust, and pouted.
Xie Fenghua looked at her meaningfully, and said in a cold tone: "I'm not interested in what you said. After all, you and I are just strangers, and as long as they don't fall into my hands, I don't bother to get to the bottom of it. ”
Ling Fei smiled for a moment, and before Xie Fenghua could see the deep meaning, he saw her smile again, and said in an arrogant tone: "It's very arrogant." I've heard about your fame for a long time, but now I've really seen it. ”
But he didn't say any more.
In the bloody and chaotic battle, two women with different minds completed the test of each other's bottom line.
The onlookers were confused, and even wondered if there was something wrong with their brains.
In the midst of the chaos, he is not in a hurry to kill, but chats in a leisurely manner?
I'm afraid I'm not crazy!
No matter what others think, the two did not continue to talk, but concentrated on what they were doing - killing people.
Beiming seems to have continued the previous habit, adhering to the principle of harassment and sneak attack, and the number of troops sent this time is not large, intending to slowly exhaust the troops in the city. In addition, they faced the elite soldiers of the Ana's tribe who led Kite Fei down the mountain, and the two sides fought, and the Northern Underworld suffered heavy casualties. By the time Mingjin withdrew his troops, there were very few enemies who could retreat in embarrassment.
- Most of them have become corpses under the hooves of horses.
Xie Fenghua swept his eyes sharply, and finally looked up at Tang Mengqian on the city tower, and said loudly: "Tang Shizi, are you still satisfied with such a result?" ”
Tang Mengqian's face seemed to be a little distorted, especially when he touched the corpses everywhere, his expression seemed to be a little crazy.
He said coldly: "Xie Er, you have this ability?" ”
"I have a lot of skills, but I don't know if Tang Shizi has a chance to learn." Xie Fenghua rode forward and shouted at him with a frosty face, "What you asked me to do, I have already done." Now, isn't it time to let them go? ”
"You want to be beautiful...... Tang Meng gritted his teeth with hatred, twisted Dou Changke in front of him, and wanted to say something, when he suddenly heard an urgent report from behind him, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, he glared at Xie Fenghua fiercely, then looked behind him, and said angrily, "What's the matter?" ”
The man stumbled over, and said with a white face: "Shizi, the east gate has been breached, and a team of people has rushed in......"
"What? How can it be? Tang Mengqian threw Dou Changke away, and instead grabbed the placket on the man's chest, and said sharply, "If you dare to continue to disturb the morale of the army, this son will definitely correct the law on the spot." ”
The man screamed, "Spare your life...... What the subordinate said was true...... Don't dare to exaggerate and deceive......"
At this time, Dou Changke looked up to the sky and laughed, his swollen pig-headed face squeezed into a ball, but he could vaguely glimpse the happy meaning.
Tang Mengqian couldn't see his gloating appearance, and kicked him over. He rolled on the ground a few times, eating a few pebbles in his mouth, but he still said vaguely: "Tang Mengqian, not anyone can do this kind of thing with soldiers. If you're a little self-aware, you should leave now, and maybe you can save a dog's life......"
"Shut up!" Tang Mengqian was a little angry, and then there was another burst of urgent news, but it was the man with the scar who rushed over, and said with a frightened expression, "Shizi, the West City Gate has been breached......
Tang Mengqian's body shook violently, and after a moment, he asked, "Who is the one who is attacking the city?" How many people are there? Didn't you keep the gates? Why didn't you hold it? ”
The scarred man's face changed, and he said, "There are about 500 people by visual inspection......
"Rubbish!" Tang Mengqian's eyes darkened, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, "Five hundred!" How did 500 men capture the east and west gates? What do you eat? Can't even stop 500 people? ”
The man with the scar barely cried, "Shizi, have you forgotten? At the beginning, you said that the east and west city gates are close to the wilderness and mountains, and basically no one will sneak into them, so let the last general not spend too many people to defend......"
"Hahahaha......" A burst of laughter suddenly sounded, Tang Mengqian glared angrily, but saw Dou Changke laughing and trembling, looking at the two of them like looking at fools.
Tang Mengqian knew that he couldn't spit out good words from this person's mouth, so he immediately clicked on his dumb hole and carried him to the city tower, "Pass on the order of the prince of this world, leave some of them to guard the city gate here, and the other part of the people will go all out to chase and suppress the enemies who have mixed into the city." ”
The man with the scar immediately took the order to retreat, while Tang Mengqian carried Dou Changke back to the city guard mansion.
The movement on the city tower naturally did not hide Xie Fenghua's fiery eyes. Seeing Tang Mengqian go down to the city tower in a hurry, she knew that Du Huaishao and Jiang Yu had done it, and her heart suddenly fell back into her stomach.
At this moment, she was on the horse, wrapped up tightly, calm and relaxed, and did not panic at all being blocked from the city gate.
The movement on the city tower can't hide Ling Kite's flight. She looked at the novelty and couldn't help but lean over and ask, "When did you make your move?" In the blink of an eye, there are two city gates, which is really unexpected. ”
"Should I thank you for the compliment?" Xie Fenghua glanced at her, but did not answer her question directly.
Ling Fei tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered, "What are you going to do now?" ”
"Wait!" Xie Fenghua's gaze fell on the closed city gate, and he gently spit out a word.
Ling Fei's lips moved, but he still didn't speak. It's just that the face is getting more and more complicated. She knew that such a method would definitely not be a temporary idea. So, when did this man start planning this?
Just down the hill?
Or have you just arrived in Lincheng?
When she thought of this deep thought, she suddenly felt frightened, and she felt like she was seeking skin with a tiger.
At this moment, a heavy voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he followed the sound to look over, but the closed city gate in front of him suddenly opened slowly, revealing the figure of running and fleeing and fighting inside, as well as the ghostly and terrifying look on the face of the man with the scar.
Ling Yuanfei didn't expect that Xie Fenghua's so-called "waiting" was to wait for the city gate to open, and for a while, he forgot his actions and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
"What are you still doing? Don't hurry into town? Xie Fenghua frowned, and then ordered the precautions after entering the city, and then patted the mount that ordered the kite to fly, and the horse rushed forward with his hooves raised in pain, and a group of men followed.
Xie Fenghua walked forward slowly, looking at the elite soldiers of the Ana's tribe, with a touch of deep thought in his eyes.
It was really risky to go into the city at this time, but I had to do it.
Originally, she didn't plan to move the ideas of Kitefly's subordinates. But the 20,000 Yunzhou garrisons in Tang Mengqian's hands were too eye-catching, and she had to be cautious. Now that he has entered the city, how to save Dou Changke from Tang Mengqian's hands has to be discussed in the long run.
Lincheng suddenly flooded with a large number of people, but it didn't have much impact. The people were still closed, but Tang Mengqian's people were also called back, guarding the city and guarding the mansion in three layers inside and three layers outside, like iron buckets.
And during this period, the Northern Underworld did not come to attack the city again.
Xie Fenghua and the others temporarily found an inn to settle down, and at the moment they were discussing how to save people.
Jiang Yu said: "In my opinion, it may be more convenient to directly burn down the city guard's mansion." ”
Du Huaishao glanced at him, "If it was you who was arrested, you wouldn't say that." ”
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously......" Jiang Yu laughed, then looked at Xie Fenghua and asked, "Young lady, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Xie Fenghua immediately shook his head.
Ling Fei watched from the side and sighed: "You are all unable to protect yourself, and you still have the heart to think about how to save people?" It's better to think about how you can get out of it. Don't blame me for not reminding you, although you have entered the city, that Tang Shizi still has so many soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is not difficult to capture you. ”
After she reminded them like this, Jiang Yu and Du Huaishao changed their faces together.
Perhaps the city was so easy to enter that they had forgotten that there was also a word called "catching turtles in urns". If they don't notice, they will become the unlucky turtles and be slaughtered by Tang Mengqian.
Jiang Yu was puzzled: "Young lady, since you decided to enter the city in the first place, there must be a way to deal with it, right?" ”
"There is a way." Xie Fenghua then looked at Ling Yuanfei.
And when he came into contact with her gaze, Ling Fei immediately jumped up, far away from her, looking non-negotiable, "I tell you, it is enough to be used once." You're not stupid enough to think I'm going to do it again? ”
"Oh? Really? Xie Fenghua raised his eyebrows and said with a funny smile, "You are following me now, don't you have a plan?" Is it time to give someone an equivalent exchange before you want to get something? ”
Ling Yuanfei's gaze suddenly turned cold, "If you knew what I wanted, you wouldn't have said this." Of course, you also overestimate the weight of what I am asking for. In my mind, that thing was nowhere near as good as the men I had brought. ”
Hearing this, Xie Fenghua frowned rarely.
She knew that what Ling Fei asked for was inseparable from her. But for some reason, there was a faint sense of uneasiness at this moment, like a prey targeted by a hunter, revealing a sense of discomfort all over his body.
She pursed her lips for a long time before she said, "Tell me, what do you want to take?" ”
"You don't care." Ling Fei glared at her viciously, and said with a warning, "Anyway, you are not allowed to beat my idea again." Otherwise, don't blame me for stabbing you in the back. ”
The other three changed their faces in unison.
Xie Fenghua said angrily: "What if I say that I want to beat your idea? ”
"You...... You might as well give it a try! Ling Fei immediately pointed to her nose and scolded angrily, "It's really good!" You're going to threaten me again! Do you really think that I can't do anything to you? ”
Xie Fenghua was so impatient with her. Originally, the so-called "method", that is, casually said, she didn't expect Ling Fei to help again. But who would have thought that she would even say something like a stab in the back, and for a while, her eyes were a little more sharp.
She slowly approached, and with each step forward, Ling Fei took a step back, until there was no way to retreat, she stopped, looked at her shadow in the eyes in front of her, and sneered: "Miss, do you know that I will never allow danger around me......"
This is a warning in disguise.
Ling Fei turned completely white, and his fingers buckled on the pillar next to him, pulling out fine wood chips. She used the strength of her hands to support her body so that she would not let herself fall. Between the four eyes, her lower lip bit out a line of blood, but it made her face a little whiter.
Her eyes were full of pain, and she said incoherently, "You actually ...... Actually...... Good...... You're just relying on me to care about you now......"
Before the words fell, she had already run out, and the figure revealed an embarrassment no matter how she looked at it.
Jiang Yu poked Du Huaishao and said in a low voice: "I said, what is the situation?" How does this eldest lady look at it...... Looking at ......"
"Looking at what?"
"It looks like I like the young lady!" Jiang Yu seemed to have discovered a shocking secret, and silently told his discovery with his lips.
Du Huaishao glanced at Xie Fenghua, who was gloomy in the corner of his eye, and replied silently, "Shh, this kind of thing, it's good to know, don't say it......"
"Really?" Jiang Yu was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and Xie Fenghua glanced at him, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
At this moment, the secret guard under his command suddenly sent a letter, Xie Fenghua opened it and looked at it, revealing a long-lost smile.
"Let's give it a go!"
