Chapter 318
In this way, the tone was full of embarrassment and returned to China, I don't know where my life is, it is better to go back to Chujing with me, and then go to Qujiang to meet Zheqian. When Zheqian was coerced, the Tanglin guards surrendered, at that time, the uncle of the country in the city of Tanglin Kyoto, there must be no one to support the back, once Zhan Wenyi and the uncle of the country and even Song Taifu put pressure, Weichen flew the pigeon and passed the book to a few people in the court to start protecting the young emperor's power, at that time, even if you did not return to Tanglin in time, Dongling, can also be fine. ”
As he spoke, his voice was raised, and his words dragged on, "Sihan, can you go back to Chujing with me?" ”
Sihan's heart trembled, and his eyes were sour.
Lan Yeyu's words, word by word, were so clear that they were also shaking her initial determination.
He was right.
This time, she Yan Sihan was full of weakness and embarrassment, not to mention returning to Tanglin, it was difficult to get out of the Great Zhou, and it was also like this, she was so tired that she was about to die of exhaustion before she walked a mile, and even she was so cold that she was about to die, so she was full of bumps, unsteady feet, and rolled off the official road.
If it weren't for Lan Yeyu's action, she would have already fainted, and as a result, she would have frozen to death in this snow.
At this point, my thoughts are full of sadness.
Sihan took a deep breath and forcibly endured her patience, but she never expected that one day, she Yan Sihan would be so small by reality, and even had no ability to fight back against the embarrassment of fate.
"Sihan, are you willing?"
In the cold wind, seeing that Sihan was silent for a long time, Lan Yeyu's hoarse voice sounded in Sihan's ears again.
When these words came into his ears, Sihan finally came back to his senses, and when he was silent for a moment again, he finally nodded.
It's better to die than to live, she Yan Sihan still compromised in front of reality after all.
She couldn't support back to Tanglin, so she could only follow Lan Yeyu's advice, go back to Chujing first, and then deal with Zheqian. Perhaps, as Lan Yeyu said, Zheqian was defeated, and Qujiang's Tanglin guards surrendered, and at that time, the uncle who was far away in Tanglin Jingzhong should also be in chaos.
She tried hard to suppress her thoughts, closed her eyes slightly, and let herself nest in Lan Yeyu's arms, silent.
After being silent for a long time, Lan Yeyu finally said calmly: "I can get the trust and dependence of the eldest princess today, and I will not pay what the eldest princess wants." ”
He said this very seriously, but he was also extremely thick. When Sihan came back to his senses, he was going to subconsciously measure his words, but at this moment, Lan Yeyu had already changed his words and spoke again, "The cold wind is already strong, the sky is getting colder and colder, and it will soon snow again." There was no delay at this time, and the eldest princess set off immediately with Weichen, striving to enter the neighboring town when it was dark and snowy. ”
Sihan subconsciously choked his heart, but his brows were furrowed, "But your hurt ......"
"Wechen's injuries are fine. Moreover, it is an obstacle, and there is no superior elixir to cure it at this time, and it will not help. If the eldest princess is really concerned about Weichen's injury, at this time, she will hold on to it first and leave this place immediately with Weichen. ”
Sihan wanted to speak and stopped, but after a moment of silence, he finally suppressed the words, and then did not delay any longer, even if he was tired, he still gritted his teeth and helped Lan Yeyu to get up.
This time it was uphill again, and the walk was undoubtedly extremely difficult. It's just that neither of them has any intention of giving up, no matter how hard and slow they walk, they are still struggling upwards in the end.
In a short distance, Sihan and Lan Yeyu walked for a long time, and it took nearly two hours for all to pass before she and Lan Yeyu finally reached the narrow checkpoint where the two mountains met.
Sihan raised his eyes, glanced at the official road in front of the checkpoint with complex and heavy eyes, and said in a low voice: "This time, you and I are both lacking in strength, and our energy is dissipated. ”
"Wechen knows."
In the cold wind, Lan Yeyu said hoarsely and slowly.
"So what do we do? It's not a good thing to stay here for a long time, and it's a long way to go......"
"The eldest princess will endure first, and when she can go to the nearby town, Weichen will have a way to contact Chu Jing's henchmen. Therefore, the most important thing for you and me now is to find someone who can go to Chujingtong for Weichen to spread the word...... Living. ”
When these words came into his ears, Sihan frowned, and finally choked on the words.
The two of them stopped talking, and went all the way with difficulty, even though they walked slowly and hard, but Lan Yeyu was full of pale faces, and he also took great care of her.
In the four directions, it is still cold and cold, but the two of them support each other forward, but it is not too cold and cold.
After gritting their teeth and persevering forward, for a long time, when the sky was dark, the two finally arrived at the neighboring town.
At this time, the sky was already sinking, there were not many pedestrians in the town, and because Sihan and Lan Yeyu were covered in blood, hideous and abrupt, for a while, it also provoked people passing by to be shocked and frightened by her, and avoided them from afar.
"Although you can enter the town this time, once you get too much idea, once the person who is against you knows, you will definitely send someone to strangle you." Sihan forcibly pressed his tired body, which wanted to collapse to the ground, and made a low and hoarse voice.
Lan Yeyu replied hoarsely with difficulty: "Weichen knows that this is the safest way, and that is to take advantage of the fact that there are not many pedestrians on the street and there are not many people who meet you and me, so he will find a dilapidated temple in time, and the beggars in the temple will go to Chujing for you and me." ”
As soon as these words fell, he clasped Sihan's wrist tightly, and his eyes fell forward, "Eldest princess, come with Weichen." ”
Si Han choked on the last words, and forced himself to follow him towards the alley on the side.
When you reach the end of the alley and climb a little uphill, it will not be long before a ruined temple is in sight.
Sihan was taken off guard for a moment.
Lan Yeyu seemed to know that she was surprised in her heart, and said in a low voice: "The people of the Great Zhou like to build temples on the high ground in the east. As long as you look for the general direction and go all the way, you can't go wrong. ”
Is it?
Sihan's pupils shrank, and the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared, and when Lan Yeyu stepped into the temple, he saw two beggars curled up in a weedy pile in a corner of the temple.
Xu was aware that outsiders were coming, and the two of them were extremely sensitive, so they immediately turned over and raised their heads, and then looked at Sihan and Lan Yeyu with wary eyes.
The sky was dark, the light in the temple was getting dimmer and dimmer, and Sihan was a little more guarded in his heart, but Lan Yeyu was still moving forward with her as if nothing happened.
Until, when the two beggars were frightened and pressed the sticks in their hands against the front, Lan Yeyu finally stopped with Sihan.
"What do you want?"
The two beggars leaned together and asked warily.
Lan Yeyu stabilized his figure, but he didn't seem to plan to make any roundabouts, but his thin lips opened, and he said, "There is a business, do you do it or not?" ”
The beggars were stunned, and after looking at each other, the dirty man on the left began to ask tentatively, "What business?" We are all begging people, and we can't do any business. ”
"What if, after this business is completed, you can get ten thousand gold, and even be added to the rank of knight?"
The beggars' pupils lit up, and their bodies trembled a little from being too shocked and excited.
"Such a good business?" They asked.
Lan Yeyu's fingertips moved slightly, and he slowly took out two jade pendants from his bosom and handed them to the beggars, "The two jades here are both priceless, and it is not a problem to get ten thousand gold." You also take these two jades with you, enter Chujing, and hand over one of the jades to the Generalissimo of Chujing's soldiers and horses, and inform him that I am waiting for him in this temple. As long as this matter is completed, there is only one piece of jade left, and you can accept it yourself. ”
"Marshal of Terracotta? This man is very powerful, how can it be that we can reach him. ”
"If you take this jade, the people of the Marshal Mansion, they will not stop you, and they will even eat and drink well."
When these words came into their ears, the beggars suddenly became more and more vigilant, "Who are you?" ”
Lan Yeyu hooked his lips with a slight difficulty, "It's just a distant relative of the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, I went out to play, but I unexpectedly met a bandit." That's why I'm going to be here with my wife, looking for help. If you don't have the courage to go to Chujing, and you don't have the courage to accept this jade pendant, then I'll go and find someone else. ”
As soon as these words came out, he was about to turn around with Sihan, but as soon as he moved, the two jades were snatched by the beggar.
"Is this really worth that much?"
The beggars were suddenly excited, and each of them got a piece of jade, and looked at it with interest.
Seeing the beggars' appearance of laughing when they saw the money, Sihan frowned, and was a little worried in his heart, but he said that with the reaction of these two beggars, it was undoubtedly the eyes of the money, and it was impossible to say that once the jade pendant was successful, it would be impossible to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Her fingertips strained slightly, and she began to pinch Lan Yeyu's fingers.
He began to shake his fingertips back, signaling her to be relieved, and then his thin lips opened, and he continued to speak hoarsely and slowly to the two of them, "Yu Pei quenched poison in advance, the poison of killing the heart, the heart and bones, after three days, it can be poisoned, and the blood vessels in the body burst and die." It's just that if you want to come for three days, it should be able to make you last until Chujing, so that you can get the antidote from the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses! ”
"How dare you harm us!"
The beggars' pupils twitched, their hearts tightened, and their whole faces were hideous, and they were not lightly annoyed.
They immediately threw the jade pendant in their hands angrily, and then fell towards Lan Yeyu with angry eyes, "Sick seedling! It's all like this, and you dare to come to harm us and look for death! ”
Before the end of the note, the two of them clenched the long stick in their hands, and waved it and hit Lan Yeyu alone.
Sihan's pupils shrank, her stiff body suddenly became on urgent alert, seeing that the sticks in the hands of the beggars were about to swing to her body, she bit her teeth, and suddenly wanted to raise her hand to catch the beggars' sticks, but before she could move, Lan Yeyu had already raised her hand one step ahead of her, and her slender fingers caught the beggars' sticks, and then her hands became claws, taking advantage of the situation, and in an instant, she had already buckled the necks of the two beggars.
In an instant, the beggars' faces changed greatly, and their faces, which were still full of anger, suddenly turned into horror, and then immediately trembled and said, "A good man spares his life!" Spare your life! ”
Sihan frowned, and his guard finally relaxed slightly.
Lan Yeyu's pupils were deep and heavy, but he seemed to be unaware of the beggars' words, and his fingertips continued to clasp hard, and when the beggars trembled with fright and screamed for forgiveness, he finally stabilized the strength of his hand a little, and said hoarsely and gloomily: "I have always been generous and compassionate, and this time I originally wanted you to help me, so as to let you change your fate." But unexpectedly, you didn't eat the toast, but ate the penalty wine. In this way, since you are so ignorant of good people's hearts, and even dare to do something to me, I naturally can't spare your lives. ”
As soon as they heard this, the beggars' eyes became more and more frightened, and their bodies trembled more and more, and their legs trembled like a sieve.
"We don't know Mount Tai with our eyes, and we also misunderstand the meaning of the hero, I hope the hero will forgive us, spare us once, we will not dare to do it again next time." As soon as Lan Yeyu's words fell, the beggars were terrified and trembling again.
As soon as these words came out, Lan Yeyu did not delay, and after his deep pupils glanced at the beggars a few times, his fingertips moved, instantly loosening the beggars' necks.
As soon as the beggars were relieved, they both breathed a sigh of relief, but they were too frightened, and the fear was so strong that for a while, their legs were weak, and the whole person finally fell to the ground.
However, even so, they didn't dare to stay in front of Lan Yeyu for long, and immediately panicked and ignorant hands and feet hurriedly climbed away, and only after a few meters away from Lan Yeyu did they stop for a moment, gasping for fear of panic.
"Although he is a beggar, if he has been living only by begging, and is despised by others, this life is too useless. I have always believed that people in this world, no matter who they are, have ambitions in their hearts, and just like you, you are tired of begging and looking forward to changing this life, so that you can have power and wealth. It's just that some things are not destined to fall from the sky, but it depends on whether you have the courage to fight, fight, or even gamble. ”
The lengthy words were hoarse and gentle, but even though they were not too majestic, they were shocked to the ears of the beggars.
Begging for a living is indeed despised and despised by others, and he has never been able to hold his head up.
When hunger arises, they have to rely on sleep to alleviate it, and even those who are powerful and rich have not stopped appearing many times in their dreams, and they have also longed for many times, but fate is like this, and it doesn't matter if opportunities and turns come, so they have been begging, and have been humble as ants.
The so-called struggle, if they can change their fate, they are willing to try desperately. It's just that now this single transaction is undoubtedly very special, and this matter is not so simple, and then look at the two people who have entered the temple now, full of blood, hideous, and the man on the other side is full of bearing, it seems that he is also a practitioner, so the two, if they meet a thief, they are also a little unbelieving, just because they know very well in their hearts that the bandits around them have always robbed money, and rarely hurt people's lives.
The thoughts were churning and lingering, and the heart was frightened, and it could not be calmed down.
The beggars did not speak immediately, their faces were full of complexity, and they only looked at each other, all of which condensed their surprise and doubts about the aspect.
"If we really send this jade pendant to the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses in Chu Jing, we can really get the antidote from the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses?" In just a moment, one of the tall and thin beggars came back to his senses, his eyes shivering and trembling.
Lan Yeyu was not interested, and he didn't have the intention to say more, "That's true." If you send the jade pendant to Chujing, whether it is an antidote or glory, the marshal of the soldiers and horses will repay you. But if you have a different heart and dare to flee with the jade, the consequences will be that your blood vessels will burst and you will die, and your death will be tragic. ”
As he spoke, his voice raised, "There are only these two paths in front of you, and it depends on how you choose." But where wealth and glory are not falling from the sky, they should gamble with courage, but this time, wealth and glory are placed in front of you, it depends on you, dare or dare not to take it. ”
The beggars' expressions became more and more cloudy, and they did not speak immediately.
The two looked at each other again, trembling and silent.
After the silence around them for a long time, the beggars finally turned their eyes to Lan Yeyu, and said in a tight voice: "We will take this opportunity given by the hero." ”
When these words came into his ears, Sihan's eyes deepened, and after glancing at the two beggars, he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Lan Yeyu. Seeing that his pale face was as calm as ever, he was calm, and although he still looked tired and weak, he didn't seem to be surprised by the beggars' words.
"That's it. It's not early, so don't be late. ”
It was only for a moment that Lan Yeyu spoke hoarsely and slowly.
The beggars' expressions changed slightly, and they suddenly came back to their senses, raised their eyes and glanced at the sky outside the temple, frowned slightly, and stopped talking, but seeing that Lan Yeyu's attitude was insistent, it seemed that it could not be changed, they finally suppressed the words that came to their mouths, and responded with a tight voice: "We will set off for Chujing at this time." ”
As soon as these words fell, he didn't dare to delay, and when he carefully stuffed the jade pendant in his hand, he carefully stuffed it in his arms, and then the two of them helped each other up, and immediately went towards the temple gate.
After the beggars completely disappeared into the distance outside the temple, Sihan came back to his senses, his eyes swept towards Lan Yeyu, and he was about to speak.
Lan Yeyu took a step ahead of her and said slowly: "It's cold tonight, maybe it's going to snow, the eldest princess will come over and work with Weichen to burn that fire, and tonight, I will rely on this to keep warm." ”
Sihan subconsciously choked when she reached her mouth, but at this moment, Lan Yeyu had already taken her hand again and pulled her staggering forward.
Both of them were tired, their legs heavy as lead, and this time they moved forward again, although it was only a few steps, but it was as if they had walked far, far away, and their bodies were sore and tired.
When they finally arrived at the small fire that the beggars had made, Lan Yeyu and Sihan finally sat down.
Sihan's body was full of pain, and he couldn't lift his hands almost anymore, so he just frowned and stared at the fire, completely unintentional and powerless to move.
Lan Yeyu didn't seem to plan to let her add firewood to make a fire, but just started to add the dead branches on the side to the fire little by little, and it was not long before the flames that were originally small and had the tendency to be extinguished finally rose vigorously, and the red flames began to sway in all directions.
The whole fire suddenly flourished, and the warmth came to the face, and it also washed away all the coolness and coldness of the body.
Sihan finally relaxed completely, leaning against the stone wall with his back, and his whole person was tired.
