Chapter 20 Love is Priceless
Nie Yunniang, dressed in military uniform, heroically raised her legs and walked into the gate of the Dingbei Palace.
Li Shiqing, Chen Ling'er, and Pei Zhu all stepped forward to meet them. Li Shiqing said, "How are things going?" ”。
Nie Yunniang's face flushed, and she smiled: "The Holy Lord has given me permission to bring a small number of soldiers and horses to Hongze Lake to help him suppress the bandits. ”
Chen Ling'er cheered: "Great! I'm going too. ”
Li Shiqing pretended to be angry and glanced at her, and sighed: "You all have to leave, how can you leave me alone?" ”。
Ling'er shyly grabbed Li Shiqing's hands and shook them: "Good sister, I haven't been to the battlefield yet, if you want to go and see the excitement, you can go back, you can promise me." ”
Li Shiqing smiled "poof", pointed at the tip of Chen Linger's nose and said, "Your little bit of caution, when I don't know?" ”。
Chen Ling'er lowered her head, her face turned even redder.
Nie Yunniang solemnly bowed and saluted: "Sister Qing'er, Sister Ling'er, Miss Pei Zhu, Yun Niang, thank you for taking care of me for so long, I can recover so quickly." ”
Qing'er hurriedly raised her hand and said softly: "My own sister, why be polite? Be more careful along the way and take care of Sister Ling'er. At home, I look forward to your triumphant return! ”。
Riding on the galloping war horse, Zheng Lin'er's arm with the blue-green jade bracelet hugged Guan Yu too tightly, and the two bouncing elastic meat balls on her chest tickled Guan Yu's heart. Hearing the sharp whistling sound of arrows flying from the back of his head, Guan Yu couldn't help but be shocked.
Duan Yu and Zheng Lin'er looked back at the same time, waving the blades in their hands to strike the whistling arrows. Guan Yu also wanted to turn back, but Zheng Lin'er's short, crisp and unquestionable voice came from his ears: "Don't care!" Look at the road well. ”
With a soft shout of "Ah", Guan Yu hurriedly turned his head and asked Duan Yu, "Are you okay?" ”。
Duan Yu turned his head with a pale face and looked at a sharp arrow stuck in his shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a big deal, you shouldn't be able to die." ”
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled behind them, and the cavalry of the Blue Shirts chased after them.
Zheng Haoran, who took the lead, with a distorted face, turned his head and said to Chang Erhu on the side: "Send a signal to inform the brothers scattered everywhere to block from the waterway, and that guy must not be allowed to escape alive!" ”。
The war horse galloped to the water's edge, Duan Yu turned over and dismounted with difficulty, Zheng Lin'er waited for Guan Yu to jump off the horse, and then reached out and slapped the buttocks of the two horses. Walking briskly to the water's edge, he took a bamboo whistle from his bosom and put it to his lips, and a moment later a small boat quickly rowed out of the hidden reeds.
Before the boat could stop, Zheng Lin'er grabbed Guan Yu's strong arm and urged, "Get on the boat." ”
After jumping on the bow of the boat, Zheng Lin'er solemnly said to the boatman: "Uncle Qi, no matter who shouts to stop the boat, you don't have to pay attention!." ”
When the cavalry led by Zheng Haoran rushed to the shore, the small boat had rowed far away, and the bow and arrow could not reach it.
Chang Erhu, who was on the horse, sighed and said, "This Lin'er girl is completely crazy!" ”。 After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Haoran.
Zheng Haoran's face was gloomy, he clenched his teeth, and looked at the rippling water without saying a word.
On the deck, Duan Yu couldn't help the boatman paddle desperately together.
In the cabin, Zheng Lin'er sat beside Guan Yu with sweat on her face, frowning slightly, biting her lower lip and bowing her head silently, thoughtful.
Guan Yu couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Thank you Miss Lin'er for sacrificing her life to save her, so that I dare not be ashamed." ”
Zheng Lin'er suddenly raised her head, her face was pale, and she looked at Guan Yu's eyes with sweat like rain and asked, "Brother Bi, they say that you are the general of Da Chu, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”。
Guan Yu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Zheng Lin'er's body suddenly fell forward, almost falling to the ground. Guan Yu noticed something strange and hurriedly helped her up. Looking down, Zheng Lin'er had a feather arrow stuck in her back, and a black blood stain on her flat lower abdomen in front of her had long since stopped.
Guan Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly put her flat in his arms, leaned over and whispered: "Miss Lin'er, you hold on, the boat arrives on the other side, and I will immediately recruit Langzhong to treat you." ”
The sweat on Zheng Lin'er's face was like a continuous drizzle, constantly sliding down, and Guan Yu could feel her originally soft body gradually becoming cold and stiff.
Zheng Lin'er's lips were gradually losing their blood, and she smiled hard: "Brother Bi, I may be dying, and my whole body is as cold as falling into an ice cave. Can you hold me tight? I don't care who you are, you used to be my savior, so I'll save you no matter what! ”。
Guan Yu's eyes were moist, and he choked up: "Don't say it, Miss Lin'er, you save some effort." ”
Zheng Lin'er shook her head stubbornly, and then said: "I know that I am not good-looking, you may not like me, if it is not for death, there are some things that I will never say: You can dislike me, but no one can stop me from liking you from the bottom of my heart!" ……”。
Guan Yu finally couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, and the dying simple and kind fishergirl in front of him, he began to deeply dislike himself. She seemed to be a sharp blade, cutting through the meanness and filth buried deep in his heart, and he even felt shameless sourness, because he had only intended to use her.
Zheng Lin'er's mood suddenly became excited, she struggled to raise a hand, helped Guan Yu wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and also left a bloody handprint on his face.
She tried hard to keep her smile and said softly, "If you can shed these two tears for me, I will die without regrets, which means that you also have me in your heart." ”
Guan Yu closed his eyes, bent down deeply, and imprinted a deep kiss on Zheng Lin'er's pale and cold lips with infinite reverence.
Zheng Lin'er's bloodless cheeks were suddenly dyed with a touch of red, like a delicate wildflower that suddenly bloomed. She closed her eyes happily and stopped breathing. The arm that had been raised to caress Guan Yu's cheek slipped abruptly and hung weakly on the ground, and the blue-green jade bracelet on his wrist exuded an alluring luster.
Duan Yu's excited shout came from outside the cabin: "General Guan, although there are nearly 100 ships chasing and intercepting us, we are about to dock, and we are finally back alive!" Hahaha".
Guan Yu was silent, and tightly hugged the lifeless Zheng Lin'er in his arms, tears raining down, ashamed.
Ruan Wu slowly put down the cup in his hand, glanced at Zhai Longbiao and said, "Fourth brother, I just received a secret letter from my second brother, someone in Pingzhou City wants to kill my eldest brother, and I plan to use all the soldiers of Qingzhou to save the king." ”
Zhai Longbiao raised his head vigilantly and asked, "Who did you say was the one who wanted to harm the eldest brother?" ”。
Ruan Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "This...... The second brother's letter did not mention it. ”
Zhai Longbiao snorted: "I think the person who wants to harm the eldest brother is you, right?" Third, our Da Chu has just passed a few peaceful days, you must not be willful! Brothers are like siblings, love is priceless, you are already the king of Zhendong, are you still not satisfied? ”。
Ruan Wu's face was red for a while, white for a while, and he simply straightened his face and snorted coldly: "It is precisely because they are siblings and love is priceless, I don't plan to take the life of my eldest brother, just force him to abdicate and make way for Xian, and I won't just put a little sweat medicine in your wine, instead of Heding Hong!" What is the king of the east of a town? The bird's ambition to know the bird?! ”。
Zhai Longbiao desperately tried to stand up, but his legs were weak and his body was weak. He was sweating profusely but couldn't do anything, so he could only yell angrily: "Bullshit! It's nothing more than a little ambition to turn over and pee on someone else's neck for a long time, and want to turn over and ride on someone else's neck to pee, and it's so high-sounding! I'll tell you, third, if you don't stop the precipice immediately, you will die and have no place to be buried! ”。
Ruan Wu, the king of Zhendong, was annoyed and ashamed, and he took the case and said loudly: "Fourth, let me tell you, I didn't kill you because of the relationship between you and my brother in the past, don't you don't know what to do!" Thinking about it, at this moment, Brother Guan Yuxian should have been in a different place a long time ago! ”。
Zhai Longbiao glared at the bull's eye in shock, and scolded: "It's so vicious, Ruan Wu!" Not only do you want to harm the eldest brother, but you have already done a black hand to the sixth brother?! I advise you to kill me now, otherwise my old Zhai Dan has a breath, and sooner or later I will split you in half with a big axe in my hand and throw it to feed the dogs! ”。
Ruan Wu laughed angrily, pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Come on, take this reckless man down and tie him up, starve him for three days first, and take strict care of him." When Lao Tzu leads the army to take Pingzhou and ascend to the throne, it's not too late to kill him! I'm going to see who ends up being split in half and thrown to feed the dogs."
With a red face and red ears, he scolded, and Zhai Longbiao, who did not give up, was dragged down by several of Ruan Wu's subordinates. Ma Yuanqi quickly stepped forward and whispered to Ruan Wu: "Everything is done, not a drop of water leaks, several of Zhai Longbiao's guards have been buried alive, and there will definitely be no leakage." ”
Ruan Wu nodded slightly with satisfaction and said: "When my army quietly passes the Snow Wolf Pass, I will issue a document to the world, and play the banner of King Qin's rescue, I will see who dares to stop it, and all of them will be punished as rebels!" Contact the messenger over there to get any news back? ”。
Ma Yuanqi shook his head gently. Then he bowed and saluted: "Lord Wang, before the news of Guan Yu's death comes from Hongze Lake, once we take Pingzhou, we still can't take it lightly, because his men and horses are closest to Pingzhou, and the threat is the greatest. Regardless of thirty-seven or twenty-one, he must first take his family members hostage to avoid accidents. ”
Ruan Wu nodded and said, "This matter is not a child's play, so I will leave it to you to do it yourself!" If you catch the daughter of the former county guard, you will be imprisoned first, and if you catch the tigress girl surnamed Nie, you don't need to report it, don't hesitate, and slaughter it with a knife! This little lady is strong in martial arts, and there are a bunch of desperate lackeys under her, and it would be a scourge to keep her."
Ma Yuanqi bowed and said, "I can rest assured that the prince handed over this matter to me!" ”。
Six days later, late at night, a large army of infantry and cavalry with bright armor and red scarves on their heads came to the front of the Snow Wolf Pass, and Ruan Wu, the king of Zhendong, shouted loudly on the tower of the pass: "Listen to the generals guarding the pass, I am the king of Zhendong, enter the pass by the secret decree of the saint, and open the gate quickly!" ”
The two heavy stone doors of the Snow Wolf Pass were pushed open, and a war horse rushed out of the pass, and when it came close, the general on the horse turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and saluted: "I don't know that the East Prince has arrived, and he has missed the distance, and the last general has come to make amends." ”
Ruan Wu smiled and waved his hand generously, turned his head to glance behind him, and the army that had been standing quietly roared and swarmed towards the open stone gate.
