Volume 1 Chapter 4

Bai Hong has been missing for five days, and there is still no clue; There was a lot of discussion in the palace, and rumors emerged one after another. In King Mu's mansion, Bai Yizheng revealed the news he heard from the mouths of his ministers to Bai Mu. Bai Mu was shocked after hearing this, and paced for a long time, with a serious expression.

Bai Yi looked at Bai Mu's distressed appearance impatiently, and asked: "Young Master Bai Hong's whereabouts are unknown now, and when the seven-day limit arrives, the lie will be self-defeating." Big brother, you have always been worried about the throne, and now that you know the news of Bai Hong's disappearance, why do you look so good? ”

Bai Mu waved his sleeves, frowned with disgust and said, "Women are really not enough!" It's not that simple! I'll tell you about Bai Hong's whereabouts unknown, alas! Forget it, you don't understand the explanation..."

"I don't understand? Brother Huang, you and I have always been in the same camp, and now you dislike me? Bai Yi expressed dissatisfaction.

"Let's be honest, as soon as I heard you say it, I feel that the situation is serious. You know, if Bai Hong disappears, the succession will be me, and the emperor will mysteriously disappear the day after he ascends the throne? Let me ask you, who do you think should be most suspicious? Isn't it me? What's more, Bai Hong is missing, no one is alive, and no body is dead! It's even weirder! If I ascend to the throne, the fingers behind me and the doubts will be cleared for life. Bai Mu roared in pain.

"Brother Huang, what you said is extreme..."Bai Yi echoed in agreement after hearing this, "Brother Huang is not as good!" Bai Yi had an idea and thought of a killing move.

In the end, the brother and sister have a heart, Bai Mu looked at Bai Yi's excited expression, understood, and hit it off: "Quick, with the order of this king, mobilize the guards of the capital's cronies, and turn the capital upside down on the charge of searching for the traitorous party, once the young master is found, control me and then arrive." ”

After Bai Mu finished speaking, he smiled evilly, and just happened to plan to assassinate the young master, and the crime was blamed on the traitorous party, and he was justified in ascending to the throne.

Qingyun Mountain, Bai Hong followed Shangguan Yao and his party to visit the village. The mountain village is isolated from the world, and the medical treatment is all earthwork to save itself, and the arrival of Shangguan Yao finally has a "barefoot doctor". The patient's location, the cause of the disease, and the medicine he took were all reasonable, and the village was cleared from house to house.

Bai Hong saw it in his eyes and admired it very much. Shangguan Yao saved the dead and helped the wounded, although they returned for free, but their Tianming Club was in Qingyun Mountain and was loved by the villagers.

The morning rooster did not crow, the sunset gradually returned red, and Qingyun Mountain was walked all over the country. Another night, Bai Hong sat on the stone chair in the courtyard to admire the moon, combing through what he had seen and heard today, and Shangguan Yao quietly walked behind Bai Hong, covered his eyes with both hands, and said softly: "Guess, who am I?" ”

Bai Hong pretended to be surprised and raised his hand, waved his index finger, and then suddenly said calmly: "Don't guess." ”

"Guess what!" Shangguan Yao said coquettishly.

"Hmph, there are only two women in this courtyard, so it's hard to guess? You are! Bai Hong took another contrived deep breath, and then stopped.

Shangguan Yao stomped his feet and said impatiently: "Who! ”

"Feng Qianxi." Bai Hong deliberately guessed wrong, and reached out to pull down Shangguan Yao's hand that was blindfolded on him.

Shangguan Yao sat beside Bai Hong dejectedly, unwilling to pay attention to him, but looked up at the vast space, which was full of stars and rivers and extremely clear in front of her. Shangguan Yao stared at the brightest star, indulging in self-talk: The starry sky is beautiful, the moonlight is bright, I wish I could really land on the moon, I really want to see how beautiful Chang'e fairy is, I don't know if Zhu Bajie is...

Bai Hong didn't finish listening, so he burst into laughter. Shangguan Yao glared at Bai Hong with a little anger, and asked angrily, "Why did I provoke Mo Gongzi to laugh so stupidly?" ”

Bai Hong laughed and coughed for a long time, Xu Qingchen in the house saw this, brought warm tea, and Bai Hong drank it all before he stopped laughing. Bai Hong looked at her embarrassedly and explained: "Miss, I'm not laughing at you, do you really conclude that there is Chang'e on the moon?" ”

"Really, so! It was literally written in the books of the ancients! How? Did you know that? Shangguan Yao uttered a series of questions.

Bai Hong was unwilling to destroy the beautiful fantasy in Shangguan Yao's heart, so he had to pretend to be serious and said: "To tell you the truth, there is really a fairy Chang'e on the moon, but the moon is not far from us!" ”

"How far do you know?" Shangguan Yao asked in surprise.

"Three hundred and fifty-seven thousand kilometers."

"Three hundred and fifty-seven thousand kilometers," Shangguan Yao said in his ears, in his heart, and in his mouth. After pondering for a moment, he continued, "It's so long, it's so long, it's never going to end in a lifetime." ”

Shangguan Yi happened to come back from the night patrol, and bumped into the two people under the moon, their expressions changed slightly, and no one could notice it under the night. Shangguan Yao saw her brother come back, and jumped to find Shangguan Yi.

I didn't forget to say to Bai Hong when I turned around: "Thank you, Master Mo, tell me how far the moon is." ”

After Bai Hongmu sent Shangguan Yao away, he was still lying flat on the stone table, feeling the clear galaxy that could really be seen in ancient times.

At sunrise in the morning, there were rumbling war drums, waking up Bai Hong and Xu Qingchen in their dreams. The courtyard was crowded with people, all of them looked nervous, and Bai Hong could vaguely see through the window that it was the commander of each barracks.

Shangguan Yi was standing on the high wall to give a lecture, Bai Hong dressed up and went out, only to hear clearly, it turned out that it was the imperial court that learned the information, locked the location of the Tianming Society, and was leading the army to Qingyun Mountain. Bai Hong thought badly, once the war broke out, he would be mired in the quagmire and unable to prove his identity.

After thinking about it, he took Xu Qingchen to prepare to go out of the mountain, but he was stopped by Shangguan Yao before he was discharged from the hospital, no matter what Xu Qingchen explained, Shangguan Yao just didn't listen or believe it. Shangguan Yi also came over to apologize profusely: "War is about to break out, and there is no way out!" Yao Mei and Feng Mei will lead a small army and take you and the people to retreat to the back mountain, which will affect you! He bowed after saying that.

Bai Hong was speechless, and was dragged away by Shangguan Yao with good intentions.

On the way to retreat, Bai Hong turned back three times in one step, there was already thick smoke billowing in front of Qingyun Mountain, and the imperial army was menacing, using artillery to attack the mountain fiercely. Seeing this, Shangguan Yao dragged Bai Hong forward all the way.

There was an ambush behind the mountain, and suddenly launched an attack on the retreating crowd, the people scattered and fled, and Feng Xixi was crushed by the crowd and did not know where to go.

Shangguan Yao led the army to fight, and for a while, swords and swords appeared. Shangguan Yao is really skilled, with a seven-star sword in one hand, the swordsmanship is smart, flowing and smooth, with light skills as the support, and Taiji steps as the base; Rushing into the army, the sword was like a flying wind, and five people had fallen under the sword when they exited safely.

Before the war, Bai Hong was pulled aside by Xu Qingchen to hide, Bai Hong wanted to participate in the war several times, but Xu Qingchen had no choice but to clamp him in order to ensure the safety of the young master. Bai Hong watched Shangguan Yao gradually lose his physical strength, and he would not be able to compete with him, and when he was soon defeated, a soldier was quietly raising his sword to prepare for a sneak attack, and Shangguan Yao was fighting.

Bai Hong hit the flying soldier with a flying fan, and he broke free, flying and lying down to hit the painting fan that flew in the air, Xu Qingchen had no choice but to protect the master beside him, and also participated in the battle.

Several times Shangguan Yao almost hit the sword, Bai Hong and Xu Qingchen accompanied him and escorted him, Bai Hong painted a fan, and more than ten people fell under the fan. During the battle, Xu Qingchen found that there were imperial guards in the army, but the other party also saw Bai Hong and Xu Qingchen clearly, and looked at the two of them strangely. The two sides were stunned for a long time, and a team of marchers quickly kowtowed on one knee and saluted: "Cui Wenxu, the chief soldier of the imperial guard, knock to see my emperor." ”

The warring armies on both sides stared at them as if time had stopped. At this moment, a figure in the distance was observing the battle situation covertly and cautiously, and the commander who was ambushed in the back mountain was actually Bai Mu. Bai Mu's pupils dilated, and he looked at the scene in the distance in surprise, confirmed it several times, but a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered sideways to give orders to his cronies.

Shangguan Yao and the Tianminghui army looked at them incredulously, and Shangguan Yao even retreated behind Bai Hong. Bai Hong didn't notice her fear, but walked towards Shangguan Yao with a smile, and was about to explain, when a silver flash flashed in front of Shangguan Yao, and the sword was pointed directly at Bai Hong, no more than ten inches away, and he screamed in panic: "Don't come here!" ”

Bai Hong frowned, puzzled by the meaning. At this time, the imperial court ambushed the army, and thousands of arrows were fired behind him. Bai Hong looked back and saw that the rain of arrows shot indiscriminately, and all the ambush troops in the imperial court fell to the ground, and several arrows in his body were like "hedgehogs", which was undoubtedly not trivial.

With an arrow in Bai Hong's eyes, he shot straight at Shangguan Yao, and the painting fan struggled to flick her blood sword, and flew down on Shangguan Yao, and the shoulder blade behind him was pierced by the arrow feather.

Shangguan Yao trembled with fear, and looked at Bai Hong, who was injured in his arms, with mixed feelings. When he came to his senses, Bai Hong had been carried away by Xu Qingchen. Shangguan Yao hurriedly took the remnants of the army and followed Xu Qingchen to the back mountain.

On the way to retreat, it happened that the army led by Shangguan Yi broke down. Shangguan Yi saw Bai Hong who was dying, and then looked at Shangguan Yao, who was tearful and tearful as he shook the corner of his clothes, and already knew what was going on.

The vanguard scout army of the frontal attack was not far from Shangguan Yi's rout, Shangguan Yi looked at Shangguan Yao tenderly, and then looked at Bai Hong cautiously. After a long time, Bai Mu held Bai Hong's unconscious head in both hands, pinched his person, and pinched Bai Hong to wake up for ten seconds, and then he explained to Bai Hong in an eager and serious tone: "Sister Yao, I've handed it over to you, if something goes wrong, I won't let you go!" ”

After speaking, Shangguan Yi led the rout army to attract the scouts of the imperial army and went to the cliff. Xu Qingchen gritted his teeth and carried Xu Qingchen and pulled Shangguan Yao to rush to the back mountain. Shangguan Yao looked back, and the last picture in his eyes was Shangguan Yi leading more than a dozen rout soldiers and resolutely jumping off the cliff.

Shangguan Yao guided Xu Qingchen into a hidden cave in the back mountain, Bai Hong was already delirious when he put it down, and Shangguan Yao hurriedly treated the wound. At this time, there was a soldier outside the cave who passed the word, and Shangguan Yao saw the blood path clearly, and it was Bai Hong's blood that marked and guided all the way. Shangguan Yao had already made up his mind to die together, while Xu Qingchen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know how to clarify and protect the young master's safety.

While the soldiers were talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and someone from the imperial army outside the cave reported: "Lord Wei Chiqing has arrived!" Outside, the armor of the soldiers marching salute collided one after another. Bai Hong didn't know that he heard Wei Chiqing's voice, and he was still in severe pain, and he woke up from his stupor. roared with all his might: "Lord Captain, this young master is here!" ”

Chi Qing, the captain outside the cave, is trying to persuade the people in the cave not to be obsessed; Take the initiative to come out and be surrendered. As a result, Bai Hong's voice, Yu Chiqing was shocked after hearing it, and one of them hurriedly rushed into the cave.

Memories since then, Bai Hong vaguely remembers... Oh no! He's already delirious...
