Chai Rong's approval was quick and clear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

agreed to the marriage between the two countries, and the envoys of Shu returned to China first, but there was one condition, that is, when the princess of Qi entered the border of Shu, the prince of Shu must personally go to greet her.

Li Hao didn't have anything to say, so he had to agree, after all, Da Zhou was still much stronger than Shu, and this face would definitely make Da Zhou get back.

Other than that, there are no other requirements.

With the salute of the soldiers defending the city of Bianjing, the wheels rolled out, out of the city gate, all the way to the west, and at the head of the city, the two girls stood in the cold wind, looking at the convoy slowly moving away, and could not leave for a long time.

。。。。。。

Ten days later, the convoy of the envoys of Shu has arrived at the border between the Great Zhou and the Shu State, which is the Longzhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Qinzhou of the Shu State is ahead.

In the middle of a forest, a small river about two feet wide flows, it is already December, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, the river has frozen, looking from afar, like a jade belt, quietly spreading out on the white earth.

There was a light snow in the sky, the war horses snorted, the carriage walked on the snow, making a creaking sound, Meng Xuanjue's carriage had already burned with charcoal, and it was warm inside, but at this moment Meng Xuanjue was lying motionless, yes, Meng Xuanjue was sick.

The border was about to be crossed, but the guards did not dare to relax for a moment, and rode around the carriage, looking around vigilantly from time to time. Walking through this forest, there is the border of Shu in front of you, and the army of Shu has come to meet you.

The carriage slowly walked into the woods, and with a whistling sound, I suddenly remembered that hundreds of figures dressed in black and wearing black scarves, armed with crossbow arrows and long knives hanging from their waists, quickly emerged from the woods, and in the blink of an eye, they were already approaching the carriage for less than twenty battles.

The masked black-clothed man led by him waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Above, kill them all, and leave no one behind!" ”

"Da-da-da-da. Puff puff. The sound sounded, there was the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, there was the sound of crossbow arrows shooting into the trees, there was the sound of piercing people's bodies, one after another, dozens to hundreds of crossbow arrows continued to fly over, the arrows flashed with white light, and under the glow of the snow, it seemed more cold.

"Protect Your Highness, protect Your Highness!" Li Sheng was the first to react, and shouted, jumped off his horse, jumped up, with the long knife in his hand, and with two sounds, he pushed away the crossbow arrows that were shot at him, but his horse was not so lucky, and he was hit by several arrows, and he fell to the ground and died after struggling.

Seeing this, Li Sheng had already pounced, ready to engage the enemy in close combat, and the nearly 100 people who guarded Meng Xuanjue were all elite soldiers who followed him to the birth and death in Tiger County, and after the previous panic, they were now slowly relieved. More than 20 people stood in front of the carriage, their swords waving incessantly, knocking the crossbow arrows to the ground.

There were more than one hundred and twenty people in black, which was more than Meng Xuanjue's guards in terms of numbers, and all of them looked like elite men who had experienced a hundred battles.

After a rain of arrows, Meng Xuanjue's guards also lost nearly twenty of them, and once they were entangled together, the enemy's numerical superiority would put them in a bitter battle.

Li Sheng walked to Meng Xuanjue's side covered in blood, and shouted at the guards on the side: "Yang En, leave here with His Royal Highness, don't stay for a moment, don't go to Da Zhou." ”

Yang En didn't understand what Li Sheng meant, because now he definitely couldn't go to Qinzhou, so he had to retreat to find Zhou Jun for shelter, why not go to Da Zhou, he looked at Li Sheng with a puzzled expression.

"Yang En, let's go, go north." Yang En doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that Li Hao doesn't understand, the people who came must have known that Meng Xuanjue was in the convoy, so he came to attack and kill, and now he hasn't left the border of Da Zhou, although the suspicion of other forces is greater, it doesn't mean that Da Zhou won't come out to intercept.

"Yes, let's go, to the north." Yang En took more than 20 guards to protect Meng Xuanjue to the north, and Meng Xuanjue was still asleep at this time.

The leader of the man in black on the other side sneered: "Want to leave? Where to go? Let's go to see Lord Yama together, go on, catch up with them, and kill them. ”

Li Sheng was furious, swung his knife and pounced, and fought with the people who caught up, and the two sides fell into a stalemate again, and the battle was fierce.

Inside the car, Meng Xuanjue had been woken up by the fast-running horses, and knowing the current situation, Li Hao in the carriage was already pale with fright.

The man in black sent out more than 30 people to chase after him, and he caught up in less than a moment, Meng Xuanjue in the carriage kept coughing, this time the illness is really not the time, although it is a cold, but in this era, a cold can kill people, and he can't be careless, fortunately, his body has been vaccinated with various vaccines before, so it can be resisted.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, "Your Highness, you can't walk, there is a cliff ahead." One of the guards shouted loudly.

Meng Xuanjue walked out of the carriage, in front of him, there were already a pile of corpses, and there were only seven or eight people left in the more than twenty guards, and in all directions, masked black-clothed people kept coming, surrounding them in a semicircle.

It seems that Li Sheng failed to stop them, and now Meng Xuanjue and the others are waiting for their final fate like duckweed. After experiencing death, Meng Xuanjue's heart was strong enough, but just when he was about to do a big career, fate played such a joke on him.

Sadness, pain, and despair came to my heart, but not for myself, but for my father, who was mighty and majestic on the surface, but who was in fact terminally ill, for the sake of his crippled brother, who was strong on the surface, but inwardly miserable. In order to follow their brothers, they worshipped themselves like gods, but now they are dying.

"Your Highness, please forgive your subordinates for going first!"

"Your Highness, even if you die here today, you are still a god in our hearts."

"Your Highness, in the next life, I will still be your personal soldier."

"You people who can't see the light, come on, let's fight again, hahaha..."

。。。。。

When the familiar figures around him walked in front of him, he finally laughed heartily, rushed into the black-clothed man like a moth to a fire, and then fell down one by one.

"You are not my subordinates, you are my brothers, farewell, my dearest brothers, I will come to you soon." At this moment, Meng Xuanjue is not the prince of Shu who is high, but their relatives, brothers, his eyes are moist.

"Your Highness."

"You're going to live." Looking at the only remaining person beside him, Li Hao, Meng Xuanjue said firmly: "Come, pick up the knife, cut off my head, and surrender." ”

"Your Highness, the old minister would rather die than surrender."

"A good loyal minister, a good Ming lord, Meng Xuanjue, today you are dead, your death will make the Great Zhou and Shu go to war again, and at that time, the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty will capture the Central Plains in one fell swoop and establish a huge dynasty." Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

The reason why Meng Xuanjue did not charge with the guards was not because he was afraid of death, but because he was waiting, waiting for someone, and he wanted to know who betrayed him.
