When he came to the gate, Li Yi shouted loudly to the gate: "Listen to the sergeants guarding the pass, I am Li Yi, the Xuanfu envoy of Yunnan, and immediately go to report to the defense envoy and quickly open the city gate." ”

Li Yi shouted several times before a soldier slowly poked his head out and shouted impatiently: "What is it called, when is this called, it's so late now, even if the king of heaven is here, don't want to come in, you better save your energy!" ”

Li Yi was in a hurry, and he was afraid that he would suddenly turn around and leave, and if he was delayed until dawn, Dao Hongying might not even have his life.

hurriedly shouted: "Listen to the people above, I am Li Yi, the Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, I am Li Yi, the Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, you immediately find Cheng Xun, I want to talk to him face to face." Do you hear me? ”

Unexpectedly, the soldier listened to Li Yi's words, but he laughed out loud, and only after laughing enough did he sneer: "You are Li Yi, the Xuanfu envoy of Yunnan?" Ha ha! You don't come to this set, we Xuanfu make the adults still in Ningzhou! How could you come to this place in the middle of the night? I'll tell you! That is, I am in a good mood today, if you dare to be verbose again, I will shoot you to death with an arrow, you better hurry up! ”

Li Yi is really a little crying and laughing, there is nothing wrong with people fulfilling their duties and doing things according to the rules. And Li Yi knows very well that except for the pass of Yuezhouwei, there is no small road near the left that can be passed. But time waits for no one! It's been a long time, how can Dao Hongying hold on.

At this moment, the guard Chu next to him stepped forward and said: "Li Dashuai, I don't think it's too late, you still find some tokens that are familiar to the generals guarding the pass, let them shoot at the gate, maybe they will report to the guards, and when the guards come, won't things be easier?" ”

Li Yi nodded when he heard this, this is a good idea, but he doesn't have anything on him, just find something, and Cheng Xun may not know it!

Now, only the dirty purple official robe on his body can prove his identity. Li Yi took off his robe, handed it to the hand of the guard Chu, and said to him: "This robe may be useful, but I am afraid that the others may not be useful." ”

Guarding Chu hurriedly took it with respectful hands, said 'offended', took off the bow and arrow casually, folded the official robe neatly and tied it at the end of the arrow, and forcefully pulled the bow full, and with the faint moonlight, with a 'whoosh', it shot out like a meteor catching the moon.

I saw this off-string feather arrow, dragging Li Yi's official robe, drawing a graceful arc, which happened to be nailed to the big column in front of the city tower.

Li Yi secretly applauded, and hurriedly shouted to the city tower: "Brother Guan, listen, my Li Yi's official uniform is here." Please take it and report it to the general immediately, and let him talk back quickly, otherwise, if something goes wrong because of this, I will try to ask you. ”

The soldier on the gate saw that the stars and moon were dark in the middle of the night, and the arrows were shot so accurately, and the tone of the person who came became stern.

Although I still don't believe it, I guess it's definitely not small. So although his mouth was still very tough, he still had no choice but to take off the feather arrow and slowly turned around.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, when I was restless, there were a few more people in the city, and by the light of the torch on the city tower, I saw one of the people in the general's costume, shouting loudly to the pass: "Down is Cheng Xun, the defense envoy of Yuezhou, may I ask if your Excellency is really Li Dashuai?" ”

Although he still couldn't see the appearance clearly, Li Yi immediately judged from the voice that this person must be Cheng Xun. Therefore, he immediately shouted loudly: "General Cheng, I am your Xuanfu envoy Li Yi, who has just returned from Dayi Ningguo, and now the situation is critical, please open the door immediately." ”

Cheng Xun and Li Yi have known each other for a long time, and Li Yi's accent is different, so Cheng Xun quickly distinguishes his voice. I couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Dashuai, please wait a little longer, I will go down to meet you immediately." ”

After saying this, his figure immediately disappeared from the castle tower.

After a while, the side gate next to the city gate opened, and several war horses rushed out of the gate with a roar, and soon came to the front of Li Yi and his party.

Cheng Xun, who walked closer, quickly saw Li Yi's face clearly under the light of the torch.

Although he felt a little strange when he saw a woman in his arms who couldn't see her face clearly, he immediately threw off the saddle and dismounted, approached Shi Li and said, "Late to greet the lowly position, please punish the marshal heavily." ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "You came at the right time, without further ado, let's hurry up and enter the customs." ”

Suddenly thinking that there were Chu guards following him, he turned around and said to the four guards: "The four friends of Tonghai should also come in and rest together!" It's really hard for you to travel so far. ”

Seeing that Li Yi had arrived at Yuezhou Wei safely, the Chu guards behind him had already stepped forward, clasped their fists and saluted: "Since Li Dashuai has returned to Yunnan safely, we will stay soon." Dashuai also has to treat my young lady urgently, time is precious, don't be distracted by me. I took my leave under it. "When he had finished speaking, he had to pick up his horse and go.

Li Yi knew that they refused to enter the customs, but he still had to say a few words. Hurriedly said: "Thanks to a few good people along the way, I, Li Yi, am very grateful." Please send your envoys to the noble festival, and say that Li Yi is not grateful for his great kindness, and he will visit him later. ”

After the four guards hugged their fists together, they did not stop at all, but beat their horses and walked towards the way they came.

As soon as he entered the gate, Cheng Xun hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare a meal, but Li Yi immediately stopped him.

The most important thing now is that in order not to eat in Ningzhou again and ensure that the road is smooth, Li Yi asked Cheng Xun to immediately send someone to Ningzhou to report and open the way for himself to return to Ningzhou in advance.

Then she fed Dao Hongying and drank some more water, although her mind was already a little blurred, but under Li Yi's constant calling, she finally slowly woke up.

She looked at Li Yi with misty eyes and muttered, "I... Where am I? Don't... Am I in the underworld? Yilang, Yilang! Don't leave me, I... I was a little scared, scared that they would catch me and never again... Never let me come back again. ”

Li Yi stroked her cheek painfully, and said emotionally: "Hongying, don't be afraid, I've always been by your side!" Now that we are already in Yunnan, in a little while, we will be able to reach Ningzhou, and you will be fine by then. ”

"Hongying, we still have a way to go, you must hold on. Remember, you are a famous and omnipotent sword woman, nothing can make it difficult for you, and you will never be fine. We're going to leave soon, don't fall asleep! ”
