Duan Xuehong's words not only shocked Yuan Chen, but even everyone present. Wu Ruojie's eyes glared at the boss, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his voice trembled: "Xuehong, you ......"

"How am I?" Duan Xuehong turned her head and cried, "Didn't you personally promise me that night to make me Mrs. Wu?" ”

"But I ......" Wu Ruojie looked at Yuan Chen, who was red-eyed, so anxious that he couldn't do it, but it was difficult to explain.

"Enough!" Seeing that the situation in front of him was so despicable, Yuan Chen suddenly shouted angrily. But Wu Ruojie seemed to want to explain, and said, "Yuanyuan, listen to me." ”

"What else is there to say?" Yuan Chen sneered, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Poor me, I waited for you all night to miss you, but I didn't expect you to be able to see different thoughts so easily." Yes, this Xuehong has exquisite facial features and strong martial arts, but how long have you known each other? You've just said a few words? You've fallen for her? Caught in her trap? ”

"Chen Yuanyuan, shut up!" Duan Xuehong even cried and scolded angrily, "Why can you like the general, but I can't?" I'm a woman, too! I have already missed a General Yuan, and I will never miss General Wu again! ”

"You are not ashamed to say this!" Yuan Chen sneered, "Do you know? When you say this, not only does it not prove your relationship with the general, but it not only slaps you in the face, but also slaps the general's face! ”

"So what?" Duan Xuehong grabbed Bai Dao, "It's much better than you coming out of the Hidden Spring Pavilion!" ”

When Yuan Chen heard this, the outpouring of anger stopped abruptly. Yes, she ridiculed the other party Tian shamelessly, but she never thought that she was born as an artist, how could she be worthy of the title of General Wu Ruojie? Although she has always been clean and self-protective in the Tibetan Spring Pavilion, who would believe it when she says it?

"Nothing to say, right? Ha ha! Although Duan Xuehong was tied up by five flowers, it was difficult for her to look up to the sky and laugh, as if she was complacent that the two had finally taken the top spot in the war of words.

"Indeed, I am not as innocent as you." Yuan Chen muttered in a low voice, was silent for a while, and suddenly turned around and slammed into the knife in Liu Ming's hand. Liu Ming was shocked and hurriedly dodged with a knife, which avoided a catastrophe.

"Let me die! Don't stop me! Yuan Chen cried loudly, regardless of the obstacles, and ran straight towards the treasure knife.

"Yuanyuan!" Wu Ruojie suddenly shouted. With this shout, everyone, including Yuan Chen, who was looking for death, and Duan Xuehong, who was laughing, fell silent.

"If you want to die, no one can stop you." Wu Ruojie said, "I also admit that I did have a husband and wife with Duan Xuehong, and I blame me for being melancholy for a while and couldn't hold back." I know that this is not against you, and if you are really grief-stricken and want to hate you to death, I will not stop you. But if you die, I will never live in this world! With that, he drew his sword and placed it across his neck.

"General!" Duan Xuehong turned from joy to worry, shouted, and tears slipped down.

"You ......" Yuan Chen looked at the change in the situation in front of him in astonishment, not knowing how to respond. But in her heart, she was already moved by Wu Ruojie's actions. She felt like her heart was going to melt.

"General! Never! His subordinates knelt down with their fists clasped and persuaded them. But Wu Ruojie was unmoved, just looked at Yuan Chen, as if asking for her opinion.

Yuan Chen also looked at Wu Ruojie for a long time before he slowly put down his hand, but said, "Okay, I can not die." Wu Ruojie just breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to her continue: "But it's not for you, but because I think clearly, you don't cooperate with me to die together at all!" ”

Wu Ruojie was startled, threw away the sword, and said with trembling lips: "What? What did you say? ”

Yuan Chen looked at him, his speech was clear, but his voice was unusually cold: "I said, you don't cooperate with me to die together, you don't deserve to have me." From now on, let's divide up. With that, she turned away, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Round! I ......" Wu Ruojie's hands trembled, and he wanted to step forward to persuade him, but he was stopped by the dwarf and shouted, "General, be careful of the other party's treasure knife." ”

"Get out of the way!" Wu Ruojie also had red eyes and shouted at the dwarf. But the short man just didn't let him, and let Wu Ruojie slap him a few times frantically, and gritted his teeth and held on. Wu Ruojie became more and more angry the more he fought, the more he cried, the more crazy he became, he turned around and picked up the sword, and was about to raise his hand to slash down, but he paused in mid-air, gritted his teeth, and slammed back and slashed at Li Jia. only heard a miserable scream of "ah", Li Jia's neck was split alive, blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground and died.

"General Lee!" Seeing this, Liu Ming screamed, grief-stricken, but there was nothing he could do.

"General! Kill me if you want to! Duan Xuehong suddenly cried out, "I don't want to live anymore!" ”

"You ......" Wu Ruojie looked at Duan Xuehong, then turned his head to look at Yuan Chen, and then looked at the chaos in the courtyard. Shaking his head in pain, he suddenly raised his hand and swung his sword, breaking the rope that bound Duan Xuehong.

"General!" Duan Xuehong was startled, "You...... What do you mean by that? ”

"Let's go." Wu Ruojie lowered his head, also lowered his sword, and whispered, "And Liu Zhuangshi, let's go together." And Yuanyuan, if you don't want to stay, let's go. ”

"What? You...... You actually let me go with her? Duan Xue pointed at Yuan Chen with red eyes, and said with a slight tremble.

"Get out!" Wu Ruojie suddenly shouted loudly.

Duan Xuehong's body trembled, but tears fell silently, and finally turned around and ran out of the yard. Seeing this, Liu Ming pulled Yuan Chen up and walked out of the courtyard.

In the moment when he passed by Wu Ruojie, Yuan Chen wanted the other party to reach out and hold him. But no. Wu Ruojie lowered his head, didn't even look at her, and let her be taken away like this. Her heart was dripping blood, but how did she know that Wu Ruojie's heart was also dripping blood. Before leaving the courtyard, she heard his last words: "Tell the city gates, let these people out of the city, don't be embarrassed, otherwise you will be killed!" But in the end, the four words "kill or kill" had no strength, and it seemed that the whole person had collapsed. But when Yuan Chen looked back, Liu Ming had already dragged her away from the corner and was out of sight.

Liu Ming caught up with Duan Xuehong and forcibly grabbed her, but she slapped her back. Liu Ming stroked his cheeks and scolded: "If you don't want to live, don't be angry with me, I don't want to persuade you to catch up with you, I just want to tell you that Lord Liu is still waiting for us to report the situation, if you die like this, I'm afraid it will also hurt his hard work in cultivating you." ”

Duan Xuehong stopped sobbing and thought for a long time before she turned her head and glared at Yuan Chen hatefully, and said to Liu Ming: "If I take the first step, I won't disturb your kindness." After saying that, he ran away crying.

Liu Ming took Yuan Chen to drill the alley, walked the path, and came to the edge of the city, but saw that the city gate was wide open, and it was really as Wu Ruojie ordered, but he didn't know if there was fraud. After pondering for a long time, he made a heart and walked to the city gate with Yuan Chen. But until he walked out of the city gate for several miles, he never encountered a single soldier. It seems that Wu Ruojie is indeed consistent with his words and deeds.

Walking into a forest outside the city, Liu Ming put Yuan Chen on his shoulders and ran up, I don't know how long he ran, before he finally stopped and wiped his sweat.

Yuan Chen was silent, standing alone on the side, as if he still had something on his mind.

"Haven't gotten any relief yet?" Liu Ming asked, "Still thinking about that negative man?" ”

Yuan Chen smiled bitterly and said, "What does it have to do with me?" Alas! ”

"Then why are you sighing?" Liu Ming asked with a smile.

Yuan Chen shook his head, looked at the darkness in the distance and said, "I sigh for the long night, the long journey, and I don't know where I will go." ”

"We just came out of the north gate," Liu Ming said, pointing to the north, "and we went all the way north to Yangzhou." ”

"Oh." Yuan Chen nodded, and he didn't want to listen to this answer, because her words meant something else, but unfortunately Liu Ming didn't hear it.

But Liu Ming still said to himself: "Let's rest in Yangzhou for a while, and then continue to go north, General Liu should have led his troops all the way north at this time." ”

"Oh." Yuan Chen let out another "oh", but sighed. All the way north, she was getting farther and farther away from Wu Ruojie.

"General Liu's army is advancing northward, Chuang Wang's army is marching eastward, and both sides are encircled, and it should not take a few days to capture the capital." Liu Ming shook his head and said smugly.

"Oh," Yuan Chen nodded perfunctorily again, but suddenly his eyes widened and asked, "What?" You mean they're going to go into the capital? ”

"Them?" Liu Ming looked at her and said with a smile, "It should be said that it is 'us'." We're going to fight into the capital together! ”、

"But, but ......" Yuan Chen has been for a long time, and nothing has come out.

"What's wrong? What are you worried about? Liu Ming looked down at her carefully and asked with a smile.

What is Yuan Chen worried about? Of course, she was worried that she was destined to meet King Li Zicheng. But what did she have to say? She was worried that this history would really come true, and she was worried that she would really become the woman who Li Zicheng. A peasant, at most, is a peasant leader, a middle-aged man, perhaps because he is an ancient, will grow older. Why did Chen Yuanyuan follow him? It must be occupied, yes, it must be occupied. Yuan Chen thought so, disgusted, and said, "Can we not go north with the army?" ”

"Why?" Liu Ming was stunned and said, "I've been out for a long time, and I have to go back to report it." That section of Xuehong went back one step ahead of me, if I don't go back, how can I be like that? ”

"But you didn't complete the task." Yuan Chen said, "If you go back and ask the general to blame you, how will you explain?" ”

"Ha," Liu Ming laughed and said, "Although I haven't been able to cut Wu Sangui with my own hands, I have found out his details." His team, if it is said that it has no attack power, is an exaggeration. But if I were to lead my troops, I would be able to annihilate them with only one-tenth of their rebels. ”

"What?" Yuan Chen was startled and asked, "Why is that?" ”

"Ha," Liu Ming said with a smile again, "His soldiers were recruited from somewhere, but after staying in Jiangnan for a long time, he has become unable to fight, and he can't even hold a knife steadily." Every time I say that I only know how to drink and have fun, I look for flowers and ask willows. To tell you the truth, we installed Langzhong near his army, and received countless soldiers who were infected with the disease of flowers and willows. This is really, if people don't destroy him, the sky will destroy him, and if you think he can't become the climate. When I went back to report like this, General Liu was not happy, how could he blame me? ”

After Yuan Chen heard this, he was secretly criticized by Wu Ruojie in his heart. The soldiers below are like this, and they are also up and down, and it seems that it is not a mistake to leave him so ruthlessly just now.

"So I'm determined to return to the army." Liu Ming continued, "First, I came to this matter, and second, I would like to go north with the army. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty falls, and when King Chuang opens the country and evaluates his merits, I also want to gain fame and become a father. As he spoke, he burst out laughing.

Yuan Chen looked at the man in front of him who was far from when they first met, and didn't know what made him change into such a look. But maybe it's not the other party's change, but in this troubled world. Perhaps the only one who has never changed is herself.

After laughing enough and resting enough, the two of them hit the road again. After a while, they walked out of the forest and came to a small village, where there was a post station to sell horses, and the two bought horses and traveled all the way, arriving in Danyang County at noon, and entering Yangzhou at night.

Yangzhou is located in the central part of Jiangsu, on the north bank of the Yangtze River and at the southern end of the Jianghuai Plain. Together with Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou, it is known as "ancient Kyushu". Since ancient times, there have been countless literati who have used Yangzhou as the theme to chant poems, and famous sentences have also been passed down through the ages. For example, Li Bai's "The Old Man Leaves the Yellow Crane Tower in the West, and the Fireworks Go Down to Yangzhou in March", Du Fu's "Shang Hu Farewell to Yangzhou, Recall the Ancient Post House in Xiling", Du Mu's "Spring Breeze Ten Miles Yangzhou Road, It's Better to Roll Up the Bead Curtain", Huang Shen's "Life Only Love Yangzhou to Live, and the Spring Breath of the Weeping Yang on the Shore" and so on.

The two entered the city at night, when it was spring, the willow branches, seemed to sway in the dim yellow lights, in the dead of night, the lights were faint, as if the fragrance of the young leaves of the spring breeze was baked. Although this scene was intoxicating, Yuan Chen had no intention of appreciating it, urging Liu Ming to find a place to live quickly, after all, after staying up all night, she was a little unbearable. But Liu Ming went unhurriedly, while admiring and walking, in front of a spacious inn, he pulled the horse and stopped, looked at the golden "Shunyi Inn" on the plaque, turned his head and smiled: "You and I live here tonight, okay?" ”

Yuan Chen was distraught, nodded randomly, but said as if he remembered something: "You have to open two rooms." ”

"Of course." Liu Ming replied embarrassedly, dismounted, and walked into the inn.

The inn was still not closed, and Xiao Er had not yet slept, so he hurriedly took the reins of the horse and beckoned the two to stay. In a few moments, Yuan Chen had already entered the room prepared for her alone.

After the bath water was ready, Xiao Er went down. Yuan Chen locked the door, looked at the bathtub, and sighed.

Could it be that Wu Ruojie and Duan Xuehong will also take a bath in the same basin before sharing the same bed? She thought about it wildly, but immediately retracted the thought, and told herself, what do you want to do? What's the point?

With a sigh of relief, she slowly unfastened her clothes, unfastened her pantyhose, and finally poked a slender foot into the water. But at this moment, someone outside suddenly knocked on the door, the force was not heavy, but because there was an iron ring on the door, the sound was very clear.

Yuan Chen was startled, hurriedly withdrew his feet, wrapped his clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" (To be continued.) )
