Chapter 276: After the camp
Hou Cheng pierced the neck of a wolf with a shot, picked up its corpse, pierced the eyes of a wolf with another shot, and then hit a wolf king on the waist with a shot, and finally broke up the wolves in front of him and rushed over.
The guide followed and rushed out.
Then they heard the mournful roar of the horses, and then the soldier shouted, "My lord, save me!"
Hou Cheng looked back and saw that the soldier's horse was surrounded by wolves, and then he was pounced, and the soldier also fell into the wolves.
Hou Cheng wanted to go back to save him, but before he could turn his horse's head, more than a dozen wolves had already pounced on him and the guide.
The soldier let out a terrible scream, and then he was silent.
"Run." The guide said as he beat his horse and rushed out. Hou Cheng had no choice but to follow.
The Gobi Desert is full of strange rocks, and the war horses cannot run wildly. The dozen or so wolves chased after them very patiently.
Seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, Hou Cheng was inexperienced and a little frightened. He asked; "What should I do?"
The guide said, "Kill a horse." ”
When the three of them came out, they took two other horses with them, carrying supplies on the road, and they could change horses if necessary.
The soldier and a horse were gone, and the one led by the guide remained.
Hou Cheng stabbed down the horse carrying supplies with a single shot. Sure enough, the wolves were attracted by the struggling war horse that fell to the ground, and they pounced on it to grab food.
At this time, only five wolves were left with them.
Hou Cheng hung up the iron spear, bent his bow and arrows, turned around and shot back, and after shooting down two wolves one after another, the remaining wolves finally stopped the pursuit and turned around and left.
Hou Cheng and the guide escaped death, thinking about the scene at that time, their hearts palpitated. Although they were very tired, they still did not dare to rest here, and ran all the way.
At dawn, the guide finally saw the familiar features, and he said excitedly: "It's here, it's finally here, and the front is the realm of our Datang!" ”
Hou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and just wiped his sweat. I heard someone shouting in front of me, "Don't move, or we'll release the arrows!" Then a group of officers and soldiers flashed out from behind the grass.
Hearing the shout, Hou Cheng felt excited. He could hear it, it was a familiar accent from the Guanzhong region.
He hurriedly shouted: "Don't let go of the arrows! I am the messenger of His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
The officers and soldiers gathered around, checked Hou Cheng's waist card, and when they saw that it was the sign of the Qi Palace, they said with some excitement: "Great! It's finally waiting for you. Come with me, and I'll take you to the general. ”
Didn't Li Jing, Hou Junji and others originally go to Yunzhou, how could they appear in Shengzhou?
It turned out that Li Jing and the others were about to set off, and suddenly remembered that since His Royal Highness King Qi had encountered an avalanche, Yinshan must have been covered by heavy snow. Since Hamid and the others can't get by, then the steppe people can't get along either. Therefore, Yunzhou is not the focus of prevention.
Li Jing and the others thought twice and felt that Shengzhou was more likely to be the focus of Xue Yantuo's attack. Moreover, they deduced that if His Royal Highness the King of Qi completed the task, the route they withdrew would most likely be Shengzhou. So, he came to Katsuju and established the Provisional General's Palace.
Fang Xuanling notified the Border Affairs Bureau and asked them to send all the information on the border directly to Shengzhou.
Soon, Hou Chengcheng met with the generals Li Jing and Hou Junji and others.
Without waiting for Hou Cheng to salute, Li Jing hurriedly asked; "His Royal Highness King Qi is alright?!"
Hou Cheng said in some surprise: "It's okay, Your Highness is fine." I was sent by His Highness to deliver the letter. ”
"Great!" Li Jing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Hou Chengcheng reported to Li Jing and others what happened on the grassland.
"Good, good. Great! Li Jing and the others were very happy.
Li Jing said: "One guest is not bothering the two masters, Hou Cheng, you are familiar with the situation of the grassland, take a rest, and you will go directly to Chang'an and report the good news to Your Majesty." ”
Then he wrote a piece of music and handed it to Hou Cheng and others to take back to Chang'an.
He smiled and said, "Junji, Daozong, it's time for us to return to Chang'an." ”
……
Besides, Li You and the others continued to hurry, and Ashina Qing rode in a carriage with him.
Ashinaqing was the first time she was in such a small space with a young man, except for her father. She felt very uncomfortable and avoided Li You as much as possible.
Li You was amused when he saw her nervous appearance, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he closed his eyes there and recuperated.
Ashina Qing glared at Li You angrily, and wanted to kill him immediately. But reason reminded her to be patient. So, she hid her hatred in her heart and closed her eyes.
Wanting to see that it was getting dark, the team stopped camping.
In Li You's tent, Li You, Zhang Baogui, Xue Rengui and others drank and chatted, Cheng Chuliang had been opening the way in front of the team, and now there was Ashina Hongliang's person in charge of guarding, and he was also called back to drink together.
Ashina Qing served them on the side.
She is a princess, she has been used to being served since she was a child, where has she done these things, so she seems a little clumsy.
Fortunately, Li You and the others did not blame her, looking at her clumsy appearance, they just smiled.
Bai Hu didn't look at the fact that he had been drinking, but his eyes were always paying attention to Ashinaqing's movements, worried that she would hurt the prince.
Ashinaqing's Chinese is very good, listening to the words of those men who are messing around with each other in the mouths of these guys, not to mention how awkward it is.
Xue Rengui also paid attention to Ashinaqing and found that she was sometimes in a daze, and sometimes there was a fierce light in her eyes. He was really a little worried about the prince.
In the middle of the night, when the people were about to rest, they went away. Even Li You entered the yurt inside. Holding the hilt of the knife, the white tiger stood at the door of Li You's yurt, staring at Ash Naqing from afar.
In the empty tent, only Ashina Qing was left. No one paid attention to Ashinaqing, and she didn't know where she was going. She was lonely and stood there overwhelmed.
At this time, Li You came out, he saw the white tiger, and said, "What are you doing standing here?" Get out of here. ”
The white tiger refused, he glanced at Ashina Qing and said, "Lord Wang, you just let the little one stay here." ”
Li You said angrily: "You bastard, get out." ”
The white tiger didn't dare to disobey, and said: "Lord Wang, the little one went out, and he stayed at the door of the big tent, and you called the little one if there was something." ”
After speaking, he glared at Ash Naqing again, and then went out.
Li You said: "Ashinaqing, you let me in." With that, he went in first.
Ash Naqing was very scared, and she didn't know what Li You would do to her after she went in. 8)
