Adventures in Heaven Chapter 22 ( Escape from Heaven III)

Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

I blinked and thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't the Lieutenant afraid of this being known?" Du Wei said, "Except for me and the Queen Mother, no one knows about it now." "www.biquge.info I said," I said, "but I know." Du Wei smiled coldly, drew a circle with his sword in front of me, and said, "It's just that Childe knows too late." I smiled dismissively and said, "It's not necessarily too late." You see the princess is coming. Just as the lieutenant turned to look behind me, I slammed the flute in my hand towards the lieutenant's head. I only heard the Lieutenant scream, dropped his long sword, held his head tightly with both hands, and shouted "Ahhh I was quick and took a few steps to grab the sword. At this time, the lieutenant had woken up from his stupor, and when he saw that I had snatched the long sword, he hurriedly took a few steps back, endured the pain, and quickly pulled out the long sword at his waist. At this time, I saw that a large bag had swollen near his left eye, and the streaks that had been slammed by the flute were visibly congested and purple.

The lieutenant stroked the wound with one hand and shouted with a sword in the other, and pounced on me. This time, he behaved more fiercely than before, gritting his teeth and being annoyed. I know that he will not let me go again this time no matter what, and it is better to fight to the death than to die. Therefore, although the captain's cold light was dazzling, I was able to be calm, hold the sword to deal with it, dodge left and right, and retreat while fighting. But, to the worst of my ability, a big tree blocked my way back. Seeing that I had been cut off, the Lieutenant struck at me with more and more ferocity, and the blade of his sword slashed under my side several times. Since there is no way out, I can only fight to the death and find another opportunity to dodge. However, the lieutenant seemed to have seen my intentions, and attacked me so violently that not only did I have no chance to take advantage of it, but gradually I could not even stand on my heels, and then I leaned back and leaned against the tree.

Seeing the momentum, the captain swung his sword at me, and I was unable to swing my sword to resist because my body was unbalanced, so I panicked, and saw the captain's long sword slash under my side and plunge deep into the trunk of the tree. As he drew his sword from the tree, I took advantage of the shaking of my body to slash at him in the face. Hearing a scream, a long mark was drawn on the face of the captain, and immediately, blood gushed out. The lieutenant was badly wounded, and he had no sword in his hand, so he tried to escape, but I didn't give him a chance, so I chased after him a few steps, and poked the sword into his abdomen with all my might. I saw the lieutenant "oh", and his abdomen was pierced by the long sword. I immediately drew my sword again, and the lieutenant fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and blood flowed in an instant.

Looking at the dead body of the lieutenant soaked in blood, I couldn't stop trembling in my heart, I don't know whether it was the irrepressible excitement or the fear of the aftermath. I can breathe a sigh of relief now, though. So, I looked up at the sky, and then, wiping the blood stain on my sword, I picked up the cloth bag and began to speed towards the side of Dongshan.

At this moment, a dreamlike voice came from the silence of time and space. I looked back and saw that it was the princess running towards me. I hurried over to her and hugged her tightly. I asked, "Why did the princess come after her?" The princess said, "When I saw that the lieutenant had not returned for a long time, I feared that he would do you harm, so I pursued him. I don't want to be the captain but has been killed by Childe. Childe's swordsmanship is very superb. I let out a long sigh and said, "If the princess hadn't given me this flute, Longhua would have been killed by the captain." So I told the princess about the fight I had just had with the captain.

At this time, the princess said, "Du Wei is dead, and the prince can be worry-free, and there is no need to return to Han China." I shook my head and said, "Don't persuade the princess, Longhua has been away from home for nearly a year, and there is no news from home, so you must not go back." When the princess saw that I had made up her mind, she said, "In this way, the maiden is willing to return with her son." "In order for the king and the palace to know the whereabouts of the princess. I wrote on the ground with a long sword next to the death of the captain: The princess and Longhua return to the Han together.

The next is the hurry, because of the entanglement with the captain, there is a lot of delay, so I think that the only way to leave the kingdom of heaven in the early afternoon is to speed up the pace, so as not to be chased by someone behind. Soon, we crossed the fork in the road where we met with Yunshan and entered the dense forest that went straight to the east mountain. In order to rush and maintain our strength, none of us spoke. Originally, I wanted to tell the princess about the conspiracy between Du Wei and the Queen Mother to kill the princess's father, but I thought again that if this was the case, the Queen Mother's fate might be very tragic in the future, and she would even be executed. Anyway, the Queen Mother once gave me her gentleness and **** as a woman, and I can't betray her. The murder of the former king may be finally closed by the death of the captain. Without the power and support of the Governor, it would no longer be possible for the Queen Mother to continue to hold the power of the palace. For a woman, maybe it's a better life.

The forest grew deeper and darker, and even the sun in the sky could not be seen. I once walked here in winter, and I can still vaguely remember the general direction in the forest. I took the princess by the hand and walked side by side with her, excited and nervous, with a sense of pride and complacency in returning to the court in triumph or returning home. After walking for about two and a half hours, we came to the edge of the glacier. I looked around for a moment, and then took the princess south along the river, looking for the boat that had been placed by the river. Without boats, we couldn't cross the river. After walking about a mile or two, we came to the place where the boat was parked.

The boat was placed on the shore with a buckle and needed to be carried to the river. So, as soon as I put my belongings on the ground, I turned the boat over and dragged it to the river. When I reached the river, I pushed the boat into the middle of the river, and went to the shore, picked up the cloth bag and the sword, and wanted to board the boat with the princess. At that moment, I heard a loud roar falling from the sky, almost scaring my soul away.

I looked back, but I saw that Beze was chasing after me on horseback with a long sword in hand, and the time was already in front of me. At this time, it was too late to get on the boat, so I asked the princess to hurry on board with her things, so I drew my long sword and asked Beze, who was chasing after me, "Why did Brother Be, come in a hurry, presumably to see him off?" Beze rode his horse down to the ground and said, "I have been secretly ordered by Your Majesty to prevent the commander from harming you, but I heard that Yilan said that you are heading east, but I am afraid that you will enter the east mountain early." I rode after him, but I saw the body of the captain and the words on the ground by the forest, and I realized that the prince wanted to escape from heaven with the princess. Hurry to stop it. "I know that Beze is not a captain, not only swordsmanship is above the captain, but also loyal and unyielding, upright, I know that I want to escape from heaven with the princess, and I will definitely not let me go, so I said, "The princess and Longhua love each other, and it is difficult to leave, and they will return to Han China together. It's not in vain that you and I are friends of life and death, brothers. ”

Beze sneered and said, "I am a subject of the kingdom of heaven, how can I violate the rules of the kingdom of heaven and go against the wishes of His Majesty." If the son changes his mind, he can return to the palace as soon as possible with me, and he can hide the escape of the prince with the princess and not report it, so that the son and the princess will form a good relationship for a hundred years. If the son does not obey, the sword will be ruthless. "I'm naturally not an opponent than a sword, and once the sword is moved, it's not a good thing for anyone to be injured or killed. So, I looked helplessly at the princess to see what she could do. When the princess understood what I meant, she got up from the boat and said to Beze, "The lord of Beju is a loyal man and is admired. It's just that I haven't seen it today, right? Don't say, "No." The princess is the princess of heaven, the sister of your majesty, if the princess leaves in a hurry without saying goodbye, will it not make your majesty and the people sad? Don't do it now, just serve the kingdom of heaven and your majesty, and don't blame the princess for being rude. ”
