The army walked for a few days and came to an uninhabited area on the border between Lirong and Liuguo. It began to rain heavily, and there was no sign of stopping.

Xiu Yuyue raised her head, followed the falling rain with her hands, and said like a dream: "Father, mother, are you crying?" Do you see us alone in heaven? Have you seen our Lirong trampled by the iron hooves of these robbers? ”

Bei Gongru looked back at her, and said patiently: "Princess, it seems that this rain is going to fall for a while, do you know where to avoid it around here?" ”

Xiu Yuyue tilted her head to the side and ignored it.

Bei Gongru pressed the fire and said: "We are a group of big men, we are used to eating and sleeping in the open, and it is nothing to get drenched in some rain." But this child is weak, cold, and lacks medicine in the army, don't regret it. ”

Xiu Yuyue felt that the younger brother in his arms had begun to tremble, and his face was a little pale, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, I'm fine." ”

Bei Gongru smiled bitterly and said, "You sisters and brothers are really more stubborn than the other. And he told the army to go on in the rain.

Suddenly, Xiu Yuyue said softly: "Wait, I know that there is a big cave near here, called Taoyuan Cave, which can accommodate these soldiers, horses and vehicles." ”

Bei Gongru returned to the horse and said with a smile: "Then please ask the princess to lead the way." ”

Xiu Yuyue led everyone to a cave, and saw that the entrance of the cave was not wide, only allowing one car and one horse to pass. The army walked in one word, and the eyes suddenly opened up, but it seemed to have entered a dungeon, open everywhere, and it was really a work of magic between heaven and earth. Bei Gongru couldn't help but sigh: "What a good place." ”

After setting up the horses and wagons, the people began to light a fire in the cave and dry their soaked clothes. Sun Boyan came over and said, "Childe, I looked around and found a depression in a rock wall in a secluded corner, just enough for two people to sit in. ”

Bei Gongru knew that it was inconvenient for a woman to repair Yuyue, so he said: "Okay, take them over, and then build a fire for them." ”

Sun Boyan bowed and said, "Yes, Childe." So he took the siblings and went aside.

Bei Gongru took off his close-fitting shirt, sat down to warm himself by roasting the fire with the soldiers, and a drop of water ran down his strong and well-proportioned arms and chest, slowly sliding down and dripping into the dirt on the ground. The light of the fire flickered brightly and dimly, reflecting his handsome and angular face.

Zhao Jingzhi took two steamed buns, handed them to Bei Gongru and said, "Son, the meal will have to wait for a while, there are only two steamed buns, you can eat them." ”

Bei Gongru looked at him and thought to himself: Good brother, you have been treating me so sincerely since I was a child. He smiled and said, "Everyone is hungry, how can I be embarrassed to eat?" Go and bring them to the princess. ”

Zhao Jingzhi said reluctantly: "I won't go, what are you doing so well to them?" Don't you still hate us to death? ”

Sun Boyan got up and said, "Give it to me, I'll send it." ”

After a while, Sun Boyan walked back, and Bei Gongru asked, "She doesn't eat?" ”

Sun Boya stretched out the steamed bun in her hand and said, "She took one for her brother." ”

Zhao Jingzhi snatched the steamed bun in his hand, smiled mischievously and said, "That's just thank you princess, she didn't eat it, I ate it." ”

It was night, and the people had been trekking for many days, and they were so tired that they had already fallen asleep. Bei Gong couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, he thought: Although he won the battle this time, Liu Jun also suffered heavy losses, and he didn't know if his father would blame him.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of suppressed crying, which seemed to be there and nothing. Bei Gongru got up and put on his cloak, followed the sound to find it, and in the faint embers, it could be seen that Xiu Yuyue was crying. The pear blossom with rain is not enough to describe her poignant, and every teardrop that falls from those green eyes is like a crystal that gently breaks people's hearts.

Bei Gongru walked over slowly, knelt beside her on one knee, took off the cloak on his body, and covered Xiu Yuyang in her arms, the child was already asleep. Xiu Yuyue turned her face sideways, unwilling to look at him.

Bei Gongru sighed, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I envy you, your father is willing to commit suicide for you, what a deep love this is." Growing up, even a smiling face from my father was a luxury. Although my parents are still alive, I never knew what it was like to be hurt by my father and spoiled by my mother. You have at least experienced that knowing that they are willing to give their lives for you is a happiness that I can't even imagine. ”

Xiu Yuyue listened, and slowly turned her head, Bei Gongru was staring at her with mixed feelings, and there was a trace of unbearability, a trace of sadness and a trace of pity in those deep eyes. His brows were furrowed, and his posture and expression were full of empathetic sadness, looking so delicate and melancholy.

Bei Gongru sighed: "Sleep for a while, I don't know if I am a guest in my dream." Then he turned and left.

Sleeping in a daze until almost dawn, Beigongru was awakened by a sound of fighting, only to hear someone shouting: "Get up quickly, someone is sneaking up!" ”。

He didn't have time to put on his armor, picked up a sword that he had been holding by his side when he was sleeping, and ran towards Zhao Jingzhi, who was fighting. Bei Gongru parried the opponent's attack and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Jingzhi said while killing left and right: "I don't know, it seems that it is a thief who came to rob us of the things in the car." ”

Bei Gongru jumped onto a high stone and shouted, "Stop! This general is the sixth son of Liuguo, who was ordered by the king to crusade against Lirong and returned with a great victory, who are you, dare to rob the army of the imperial court? ”

I only heard one person laugh and said, "The sixth son of Liu Guo? Your grandfather also sent troops to levy our Wufeng Village many times, but we all ran away. I haven't dared to send troops here for 20 years, and we're still afraid that you won't succeed? I've been eyeing your treasures for a long time. "Look at the man who spoke, he was burly, his face was dark, his eyes were like brass bells, and his voice was like a bell.

A thin middle-aged man beside him said: "Big brother, we don't leave a living mouth, who knows that we did it?" ”

"Okay, listen to the second master, kill me!" As soon as the words fell, the swarthy man rushed over with his subordinates.

Liu Jun was attacked in his dream, and many soldiers were killed with a knife before they could take up arms. Beigong Ru and the others retreated to the depths of the cave while fighting, and the two groups of people fought and entangled, and the scene was very chaotic.

At this time, Sun Boyan swung his knife and hacked to death the two thieves who were about to approach Xiu Yuyue's sister and brother, and shouted: "Childe, there is an exit behind this cave!" You go first, I'll cut off. ”

Beigong Ru picked up Xiu Yuyang and stuffed it into Zhao Jingzhi's arms, then stretched out his hand to pull Xiu Yuyue up, and said to Sun Boya and Zhao Jingzhi: "Don't fight hard, let's withdraw together." ”

After saying that, he killed a bloody road, untied a horse, put Xiuyuyue face down on the horse's back, turned over the horse, and ran towards the back of the hole like an arrow.

Rushing to the outside of the cave, Xiu Yuyue twisted her body desperately and shouted, "Let me down, Yang'er is still inside." ”

Beigong Ru gasped and said while riding a horse: "Don't worry, Jing Zhi will definitely be able to take him out of danger, but it will be a burden for you to go back." ”

Xiu Yuyue said loudly: "I can't leave if I can't see my brother." ”

Beigong Ru suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse's hooves soared into the sky, and he stood firmly after screaming in the air. Beigong Ru stretched out his hand to hug Xiu Yuyue, who was about to roll off the horse, and put her on the ground. When his hot palm touched her waist, Xiu Yuyue trembled slightly.

Beigong Ru said sharply: "Go and hide in the grass on the side of the road and wait for me." ”

Xiu Yuyue looked at his irrefutable look, turned around and ran into the grass, only to hear Beigong Ru turn the horse's head and run back the way he came.

Beigong Ru returned to the entrance of the cave and met Zhao Jingzhi riding a horse, holding Xiu Yuyang in one hand and waving a knife in the other hand to defend against the enemy. Beigong Ru entered the encirclement, took the boy, put him in front of him, and escorted him all the way to break through. There was another scuffle, and the three of them were able to escape with the remnants of the soldiers.

Beigong Ru returned to the place where he and Xiu Yuyue broke up, handed Xiu Yuyang to Sun Boyan and said, "You take him first, and I will catch up later." ”

Beigong Ru rode into the tall and dense grass, shouting Xiu Yuyue's name loudly, but no one answered. He looked around in a panic and caught a glimpse of a figure lying in the grass. He hurriedly jumped off his horse and saw a blue and white poisonous snake swimming on Xiuyuyue's body. Bei Gongru picked off the snake with his sword, picked up Xiu Yuyue, who was already unconscious, put her on the horse, and hurried to chase his troops.

He urged the horse to walk for a while, but he didn't see everyone, but Xiuyuyue on the horseback seemed to be gradually angry. Beigong saw that the situation was not right, so he rode his horse into the woods and found a safe place to put Xiu Yuyue down. He quickly examined her wound and found a snake's tooth mark on her calf, which had turned black around the wound. Bei Gongru hesitated for a moment, bent down, and sucked out the venom with his mouth and spit it out.

After a while, Xiu Yuyue slowly woke up, her face was pale, and she asked weakly, "Is Yang'er okay?" ”

Bei Gongru wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Sun Boyan and they will take him away first." I didn't find you when I went back, and when I went to chase you again, I got separated from them. ”

Xiu Yuyue glanced at the wound on her leg and asked faintly, "Why did you save me?" Aren't you afraid to keep me, sooner or later you will avenge the loss of the country? ”

Bei Gongru smiled bitterly and said, "I really hesitated, you are not an easy opponent to deal with." But I can't do it, and there really comes a day, and I can only blame myself for being soft-hearted and self-inflicted. ”

Bei Gongru tore off a piece of cloth, bandaged Xiu Yuyue's wound, and tied a beautiful bow. Xiu Yuyue couldn't help but say: "You ......"

Bei Gongru said with a smile: "I always make my mother angry, so when I was a child, I was always beaten, and after Xiuying applied medicine and bandaged me, I tied such a knot." I really wouldn't fight anything else. ”

Xiu Yuyue looked at his slightly embarrassed smile, sighed softly and said, "You saved me to compensate me?" ”

Bei Gongru shook his head and said, "I can't tell, but I can't watch you die in front of me." Xiu Yuyue looked at him and said thoughtfully: "I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to meet you." ”
