Chapter 244: You Kill Slowly
Of course, the Three Peerless Hall is the ultimate goal of Xu Zizhen's trip, but before that, he must first enter the Xiao family, he is not afraid that the Xiao family will not come to woo him, because since the victory in the first battle of Xingzibao, his prediction is not known by whom, and as a result, almost the entire Lanzhou knows the Dao, and there is a prison soldier Luo Gonggong as a link between the Xiao family and Lanzhou, so can such a lofty message not reach the ears of Xiao Taishi and Empress Xiao?
Now that Xu Zizhen has defected openly, and he has kidnapped the Tubo princess to escape, which is equivalent to offending two countries at the same time, what else can he do except find a strong backer? As for saying that he ran away to Xixia and entered the palace as a concubine...... The Xiao family is not stupid, they will definitely take the first step to prevent such a possibility from happening, and they will naturally be able to come up with ideas with their means, not to mention the situation that Xu Zizhen himself secretly laid out.
When the spy's plan had already begun, the sudden appearance of Xu Bingzhe, and Duoqi Zhuoma's just right cooperation could be called perfect, but this process made Xu Zizhen very depressed, because not long after he left Jincheng Pass, it was snowing in the sky.
The snow in the northwest either doesn't fall, it falls fiercely, the goose-feather-like snow mixed with the strong north wind, clumps of clumps on Xu Zizhen's face, cold and biting is still a trivial matter, the key is that the front is white, and it is impossible to see where to go at all, Xu Zizhen and Daye can only squint and slowly rub forward, this speed is not like escaping but like a horse.
However, such a heavy snow is also beneficial, at least the traces of his escape will soon be covered by the heavy snow, and he can't go fast, and neither can the pursuers.
It was already dark, but fortunately they had turned from the main road to the mountain road before this, and with the hillside and the forest it was much better than before, although it was still cold enough, but they could finally see the road.
This mountain road is a shortcut that Xu Zizhen specially asked Sun Tie a few days ago, the road is very narrow, and the cliff is close to it, and if you are not careful, you will fall down the mountain and fall to pieces, but it is better that no one knows the road, and you are not afraid of chasing soldiers coming, as long as you insist on more than ten miles.
Sun Tie, as a hidden figure arranged by the world in Lanzhou, has long been familiar with the terrain here, and this road is not wrong at all, Xu Zizhen and Daye only walked hard for less than half an hour, and gradually turned into a leeward place, the snow is not so big, the wind can't blow, and even people and horses can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After walking in the wind and snow for another half an hour, Xu Zizhen stopped, he stepped off the horse first, and then hugged Zhuo Ya, who had been lying on the saddle all the way, the wind and snow on the way almost didn't blow her, but after all, she was turned sideways, her pretty face looked a little pale, and she had no strength under her feet, so she stood on the ground and almost fell down.
Xu Zizhen hugged his hand quickly, and said embarrassedly: "That, Your Royal Highness Princess, I didn't mean to, I have wronged you all the way, Duoqi Zhuoma and your people are ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Ya interrupted coldly: "You didn't mean it any time, is there such a coincidence?" ”
This girl is still holding a grudge against her last time, and Xu Zizhen doesn't know how to explain, anyway, this yin thief is decided, he beckoned Ohno to come over: "Send the princess down the mountain." ”
Oh Ye walked over, and just about to speak, Zhuo Ya suddenly struggled to stand up, with an extra dagger in his hand, and gritted his teeth and said, "If you come again, I will die in front of you!" ”
Daye was suddenly so frightened that he didn't dare to move, Xu Zizhen was also stunned, and hurriedly put on a smile and persuaded: "Princess Zhuoya, you ...... Don't be impulsive, let's talk about something, there's no need to play with knives, right? Well, put the knife down. He said as he reached out.
Zhuo Ya turned the tip of the knife against his throat, and only looked at Xu Zizhen coldly, with a determined expression.
“OK! I'm not coming! Xu Zizhen immediately stopped, and in a hurry, he burst out in English, paused and said with a bitter face, "Grandma, what do you want?" ”
Zhuoya gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I'm going to kill you!" ”
Xu Zizhen opened his mouth and stammered: "Not really, right?" ”
Zhuo Ya did not leave the tip of the knife in her throat, and said coldly: "You have been Ling several times. insulted me, and forcibly abducted me in front of so many people......"
Xu Zizhen finally understood what was going on, now it is the Northern Song Dynasty, and a woman's reputation is more important than anything else, although Zhuo Ya is a native of Tubo, and she is not so particular about it compared to the Song people, but she is a princess, and it is really inappropriate for her to do this, so she only cared about seizing the opportunity and ignored this stubble.
He laughed and said, "I don't have a problem with you killing me, but can you kill me?" Your Royal Highness Princess, you still listen to me, I will send you down the mountain, and you will go back after meeting your people. ”
Zhuo Ya was stunned: "If I can't kill you, I'll kill myself!" ”
Xu Zizhen had lost his temper, but he couldn't have a seizure again, at this moment, his ears suddenly moved slightly, and just now he vaguely heard a very slight sound from a tree not far behind him.
Yo, are you really keeping up?
Xu Zizhen secretly sneered in his heart, his eyes rolled and he deliberately raised his voice and pretended to be angry: "Lao Tzu desperately repelled the Western Xia soldiers, but he was arrested by the imperial court, and he came to a decisive decision, and now you want to kill me again, who the hell am I going to provoke?" To tell you honestly, Lao Tzu is desperate now, and you have to force me to believe it or not, I really killed you! ”
"If you don't kill me, I'll kill you!" These words almost popped out of Zhuoya's teeth.
"You!" Xu Zizhen was extremely angry, stretched out his hand and pulled out half of the knife, but finally suppressed his anger, took a deep breath and sneered, "Now Lao Tzu will go to Western Xia to defect to Emperor Chongzong, and I am worried that I will be caught up by someone in the middle of the road, so you will continue to be my hostage." As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhuoya over again, no matter how she struggled, snatched the dagger from her hand and turned over on the horse.
"Ohno, let's go!"
"Yes, young master!"
The three of them rode on, and a dark figure suddenly jumped down from a large tree, muttered for a moment, and jumped back in the direction in which he had turned around.
Xu Zizhen rode on the horse, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, everything was going according to his plan, not bad.
Zhuoya didn't lie on the back of the horse this time, since she had already shown her posture, Xu Zizhen didn't let her suffer this crime again, so she simply let her sit in front of her, and her hands passed under her ribs to hold the reins, controlling the horse while controlling her along the way.
Xu Zizhen was in a good mood now, feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Princess Zhuoya, now that you don't even have a knife, I don't know how you plan to kill me?" ”
Zhuoya looked ahead and replied coldly, "I always have my own way. ”
This girl is quite cool, Xu Zizhen smiled: "Okay, anyway, this road is quite long, you kill slowly." ”
