The city was full of riots, and the streets were filled with rocks and countless corpses. There were several fires in the southern city, the rioters were too busy to loot and kill, and the refugees were too busy to put out the fires.

Xu Ruyu and Shao Ruyan left the house one after the other, and at this time, a team of Hulan warriors was escorting hundreds of captured young men to start cleaning the bricks and stones on the street.

When Cai Zhengshi blocked the city with bricks and stones, he also left some narrow alleys with twists and turns as passages, but there was no one to guide the way, and the road to the south gate was quite difficult to find.

Shao Ruyan, Zhao Jingyun and others went out of the city from the south gate, but they didn't expect to have to go again, and they couldn't know the way, so they said with a bitter face: "When I went back to the city, I crossed the house through the wall, so it was difficult to remember the way?" ”

Xu Ruyu looked at the blocked alley, turned around and walked back, and said: "The person who offered the brick and stone strategy of closing the street is quite capable, but it is a pity that Cai Zhengshi retreated without a fight, so that this strange strategy fell into the void, otherwise Chu Shiji wanted to attack the city with cavalry, and the casualties would be heavy." ”

Shao Ruyan looked sideways and said: "This method was thought up by Zhao Jingyun, and the closure of the street was also led by Zhao Jingyun, and the defenders in the city were trying to refuse to defend the city, but Cai Zhengshi came over and asked the defenders in the city to build a fortress to defend Mengmen Pass, and let Chu Shiji raid from behind." The news spread to the city, Cai Zhengshi led the guards to flee from the city in a hurry, not many people knew the route of the narrow alley passage in the city, Cai Zhengshi escaped from the city, and the generals rushed to follow suit, and the city did not even have a person to command the army for a while. Zhao Jingyun saw that the city could not be defended, so he asked me to leave the city as well. Wei Yan was still hiding in the city at that time, and found that the brick and stone streets were blocking the escape roads for the soldiers and civilians in the city. ”

Xu Ruyu sighed, did not speak, and a team of Hulan warriors came in front of him, and walked around after saluting Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu has a beard, half of his face is covered with blood, and he looks a little hideous at first glance, wearing Helianzhang's dark blue armor, pulling out a scimitar with a blade and leaking bright light in his hand, which is very similar to the Hulan warriors who are running around the streets to burn and kill silver plunder.

Shao Ruyan glanced at the knife in his hand and said, "Hulan also has such a good knife?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "It is difficult to become a good weapon without refined iron, and the refined iron of Baekje has been controlled by the Hulan people, but over the years, Youji has lost control of the northern foot of Yanshan, and the art of frying steel and folding steel has also spread to the heavenly realm, and the blades produced by Hulan do have the momentum of surpassing the Central Plains." Gently bent his fingers and tapped the blade, making a clear humming sound.

Although the city is small, it is only four or five miles in a radius, but the two of them have been groping in the city for a long time before looking at the high South Gate Tower. Most of the Hulan cavalry were stationed in the camp outside the north city gate, and only two or three hundred soldiers were stationed at each city gate, and only one thousand cavalry were stationed in the official office in the center of the city. The Hulan cavalry set off from the camp at the North City Gate and rushed to the farthest South City Gate in the blink of an eye, and Xu Ruyu secretly thought to himself if he could get out of the city.

"Is this Mr. Li down there?"

Xu Ruyu looked up and saw that a military general at the head of the city was leaning out from the mouth of the moat, and asked, "It's me, why did you stop me?" ”

"General Helian asked Mr. Li to return to the big tent to listen to the announcement."

Xu Ruyu frowned and said, "Why did you let me go back to the big tent again?" General, when did you hear Helian Zhang's order? ”

"It's been a long time." As he spoke, the man walked down the road to the city and said, "When General Helian came to the south gate to give orders, he was very anxious, and it seemed that something important was the matter. ”

Xu Ruyu said "oh", pursed his lips, and said: "I have been to the big tent, and I was lost in the city for a while, and I thought that there was something to let me go back." Leave the gates open, and I will go out of the city. ”

The man glanced at Shao Ruyan, who was dressed as a man, and said, "Mr. Li, do you want to transfer some people from the south gate?" ”

Xu Ruyu laughed and said: "If you don't guard against some mobs, I wanted to take no one with me, the less people know about this matter ordered by Gongzi Ji, the better, since this general has a heart, it is better for you to go out of the city with me." ”

The man snorted and said with a smile: "The responsibility of defending the city is heavy, and the last general will not dare to leave without permission." With a wave of his hand, the sound of the winch was like thunder, and the city gate slowly opened, revealing the desolate scenery outside the city.

Xu Ruyu asked the man's name, arched his hand, and walked out of the city with Shao Ruyan. When passing through the city gate hole, the horse's hooves came into the ears. The sound of horses' hooves is very urgent, the sound of hooves echoes in the city gate hole, it is not really from the city or outside the city, the bricks and stones in the city are sealed, from the official office to the south gate, it is better to detour from outside the city, most of them are the sound of horses' hooves running outside the city, suddenly there is a girl's crisp smile, Xu Ruyu was stunned, and the secret road is not good, grabbed Shao Ruyan's soft and smooth little hand, pulled her behind her, and said: "As you wish, Chu Shixiu Yan is here." ”

Shao Ruyan's face was hot, she pulled out her hand, leaned on Xu Ruyu's body, and leaned out half of her face.

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "It's still far away." Walking out of the city gate, I found that Chu Shixiuyan, Yan Lang, and Rui'er were surrounded by more than ten Jingwei and rode horses from the east to here, and Helian Zhang was also impressive.

Xu Ruyu only hoped that the blood on his face could cover him, but it backfired, and everyone galloped to Xu Ruyu's side and restrained the horse together.

Chu Shixiu looked at Xu Ruyu and said, "Why does Mr. Li look like this?" ”

Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and said with a smile: "If not, how can you get out of the city?" ”

Chu Shixiu was slightly stunned, his gaze crossed him, fell on Shao Ruyan's gloomy face, and said: "Along the way, Mr. Li laughed with his words, but his hands and feet were measured, not like a reckless man in a hurry. Hearing that Helian Zhang said that Mr. Li asked him for a stunning beauty, Xiuyan wanted to come over to see who could make you change your surname. ”

I knew that it was so easy for her to see through, so it was better to go quietly from the west gate. Xu Ruyu frowned, laughed again, and said: "For many days, the county lord has been treating me with a false color, which makes me very frustrated, so I am confused and do something wrong for a while, if the county lord gives me some chance, I will go back to the city with the county lord, and I don't want this woman." ”

Chu Shixiu didn't expect Xu Ruyu to say this, and said secretly: He usually said that he kept his duty to Rui'er, but he originally put some thoughts on me; Laughing with Riel, just to knock me on the side? Thinking about it like this, Fang's heart is a little confused.

Rui'er took a sip and scolded: "With you, the mud that can't be pasted on the wall, you still look at the pearl of Hulan? "Drive the horse out a few paces, and the whip will be drawn.

Shao Ruyan took a step sideways, guarded in front of Xu Ruyu, opened her eyes and looked at Rui'er, and scolded coquettishly: "You dare? "The eyes are as deep and clear as autumn water, like a tranquil star falling on the face, and the plain face is incomparably vivid in an instant, and Yiyi glows with a scorching look.

"Ah", Rui'er exclaimed, couldn't help but take a step back, looked at Shao Ruyan, and then looked at Chu Shixiuyan, and couldn't help but be stunned.

With just a pair of eyes, so many changes have been born, and the instantly blooming face actually made Rui'er, who was also quite conceited about her appearance, scared her mind, and wanted to show her true face, which really deserved to be stunning in the world. Chu Shixiu stared at Shao Ruyan's incomparably vivid eyes, thinking about it secretly, and couldn't help but secretly compare her with herself.

Yan Lang let out a "duh" sound, poured into everyone's ear drums, lightly clamped the horse's belly and stepped forward a few steps, rode the horse to Rui'er's side, his eyes swept over Xu Ruyu and Shao Ruyan's faces, and said: "This girl is very skilled, but I don't know which family she is?" After the ban is lifted, why do you still have to follow Mr. Li, who is powerless? ”

Xu Ruyu laughed and said, "Along the way, Yan Lao was the most suspicious, and at this time, he still let you see the flaws. Stepping out of the cloud step, the body floated in front of the horse to the horse, raised the palm to wipe the horse's neck, wrapped his hand tightly, and pulled it hard, and the horse's body suddenly fell down. With his left hand, he grabbed Rui'er by the shoulder and swept her towards Yanlang.

These many actions are like flowing water, all of which are completely between the electric light and flint, and Yan Lang and Chu Shixiu have no time to react.

Rui'er flew over, Yan Lang stretched out his hand to support her waist, his body fell, and the horses under the seat retreated again and again, waiting for Rui'er's body, but there was no Dan force to attack, and the Dan breath accumulated in his left hand could not be leaked, and it was drumming between the meridians, but this blow was suffered by himself. Yan Lang suppressed the churning blood in his chest, held Rui'er horizontally, retreated between Chu Shixiu's smoke, and looked at Xu Ruyu vigilantly.

The horse fell to the ground, stirred up a puff of dust, neighed, and struggled to stand up again. Xu Ruyu stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, took Shao Ruyan's little hand, let her sit in front of her, stretched out her hand to wipe the blood on her face, and her clear gaze stopped on Chu Shixiu's disgraced face, and said: "At this time, it is not difficult for you to guess my identity, I have been walking all the way for dozens of days, I don't want to embarrass you, you get out of the way, come and say that there is still a time to meet." ”

Suddenly, there was a long roar, and four figures swept down from the city, and several Jingwei didn't have time to react, so they knocked down the people who came. Wei Yan snatched the horse, turned the horse's head, crossed in front of Xu Ruyu, looked at Chu Shixiu's smoke, and said without looking back: "Sir, do you want to take this pearl of Hulan to Jiangning, her singing voice is not bad, and Mrs. also appreciates it?" "Riding a few steps forward, he actually forced Chu Shixiu to smoke.

Xu Ruyu suddenly felt a headache, and when he saw Wei Yan turning his back to him quite self-consciously, he coughed twice, turned around and looked aside.

Fan Wenlong said with a smile: "Jiangning does not have the scenery of the desert and the long river, and Miss Xiuyan may not be used to it, so you better get out of the way." ”

Fang Su looked at Xu Ruyu and smiled, but did not speak; Mei Yingxue took a horse, handed the reins to Shao Ruyan, and said, "Here you go." ”

Shao Ruyan jumped out of Xu Ruyu's arms, turned over on the horse, and snuggled up to Mei Yingxue's side.

Wei Yan, Mei Yingxue, Fan Wenlong, and Fang Su protected Xu Ruyu and Shao Ruyan in the middle.

When Wei Yan rode his horse to come, Yan Lang, Helian Zhang and others protected Chu Shixiu Yan in it.

The Hulan defenders at the head of the city also found the abnormality under the city, and took out dozens of longbows and put them on the battlements of the city tower, and the city tower guards also seemed to know that the ordinary longbows and arrows did not have much effect on several people under the city, so they only let the longbows point directly at Xu Ruyu and others, and then divided dozens of horses from the city gate hole and came from behind Xu Ruyu and others.

Wei Yan pressed the frame on the sheath ridge, and there was a sonorous sound, and the saber jumped out, and a sword light was directly reflected in Chu Shixiuyan's eyes, only to hear him shout, and the person had jumped up from the horse, and the knife was raised above his head, from top to bottom, straight to Chu Shiyan among the guards.

Although Yan Lang had already held the blade in his hand, he did not expect that Wei Yan would unscrupulously draw his knife and slash when he said killing, and he could raise the momentum to the extreme at the moment when he raised the knife and slashed obliquely, giving people a thousand stones to press together, which made people's hearts suffocate. Yan Lang allowed him to chop this knife solidly, and together with Helian Zhang, he raised his halberd to attack and block the sword light. There was a loud bang, and where the sword light stopped, a few traces of electricity appeared and quickly followed the halberd snake line straight to the palms of Yan Lang and Helian Zhang.

Yan Lang and Helian Zhang had never seen Dan Li turn into an electric trace to attack people, but they didn't have time to withdraw their hands, and they directly let the electric light hit, and their arms shook, and they almost couldn't hold the blade. Helian Zhang only felt that the huge force was pressing, and he heard several loud noises, but the mount under him couldn't stand the huge force, and his bones were torn, and he fell straight to the ground, turning into a ball of flesh and blood, Helian Zhang hurriedly rolled to the side, spurted out a mouthful of blood, dissolved the depression in his heart, danced the two halberds into a ball, and protected himself in the middle, but saw Wei Yan holding the knife and going straight to Yanlang.

Yan Lang saw the knife light again, didn't have time to think about anything else, floated in front of Chu Shixiu's smoke horse, the left halberd blocked, the right halberd reversed, and it was a force surging, unable to stop, even retreated a few steps, against the head of Chu Shixiu's smoke mount, knowing that he could not bear this force, his back muscles were slightly bent, and the surging Dan force was brought to the horse, only to hear the horse neighing in pain, "Oh Oooo" and Yan Lang took a few steps back, and planted it on the ground. Chu Shixiu raised his sword and stood on the spasmodic horse, pointing at the murderous Wei Yan.

The horses neighed in unison, unable to stand the murderous aura that permeated Wei Yan, and retreated to both sides.

Fan Wenlong flicked his sword with his fingers, made several clear sounds, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and went towards Helian Zhang like an arrow, and the horse galloped in front of Helian Zhang, and with a fierce kick, Wu jumped up in the air and crossed over Helian Zhang's head. Helian Zhang's heart was slackened, and he secretly thought: Fan Wenlong went to the county lord. But seeing that the horse did not hit the ground, Fan Wenlong rode on the horse, looked back, and said, "Then you threw a halberd at me?" Holding the head of the sword in his left hand, he bent it awkwardly, let go of it, the head of the sword flicked straight, and a faint light trail shot away from the head of the sword, and went straight into Helian Zhang's chest. Fan Wenlong didn't want to see how effective that blow was, turned around, and drove his horse towards Yanlang and Chu Shixiuyan.

Wei Yan alone is already like this, not to mention the addition of Fan Wenlong, Yan Lang shouted: "The county lord is going back to the city." He didn't dare to meet him, so he guarded Chu Shixiuyan's side and retreated to the back.

Mei Yingxue glanced back at the Hulan Iron Cavalry who was approaching, smiled, and said, "You go first, I'll stop you for a while." He drew his sword and slammed the scabbard of his left hand into the chest of one of the knights in question. The man rolled down and fell into the dust.

Xu Ruyu and Fang Su looked at each other and smiled, each lightly clamped the horse's belly, and drove the horse forward; Shao Ruyan was a line late, only half of the horse was dropped, and she galloped close to Xu Ruyu's side. Rui'er was stunned, Wei Yan swept past her, smiled, pushed her, she spun in place three times, before the strange strength that Wei Yan added to her was gone, but she was scared into a cold sweat.

The sound of hooves behind him continued, and everyone galloped across a glacier, slowing down, and saw Mei Yingxue and hundreds of Hulan iron horsemen galloping towards here one after the other. Xu Ruyu looked at it from afar, pointed to the person behind Mei Yingxue, and said, "That's Chu Shiji." ”

Mei Yingxue hurriedly swept across the glacier, and where her slender feet stepped on, there was a loud "gurgling" sound, and several cracks appeared in the solid ice layer that had been frozen for several months, and quickly extended into the distance. Chu Shiji galloped to the riverbank, Le Ma stopped the momentum, looked at the crack on the glacier spiraling and extending into the distance, knowing that with a little more force, the ice would shatter, and when he looked sideways, the crack actually extended more than a mile distance. Chu Shiji looked at Mei Yingxue's back with a little surprise, and the white clothes were better than the snow.

Xu Ruyu turned over and dismounted, waved to Chu Shiji across the glacier, and said, "Thank you Gongzi Ji for sending him all the way." ”

Gongzi Ji laughed and said: "General Qingfeng is in the middle of the tent, I don't know each other, it's really clumsy." There is no other here, General Qingfeng is about to travel far away, and I came to return the foot strength. Jumping off the horse, patting the horse's buttocks, driving Qingjun down the river beach, Qingjun stretched out his forefeet, stepped on the edge of the ice, "click" sound, Qingjun was frightened and retreated to the river beach, twisted the horse's head and looked at Chu Shiji, neighed, walked a few steps, and slowly stepped on the ice full of cracks.

Seeing that the ice was about to shatter, Wei Yan couldn't bear it and wanted to jump out. Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand to block him, walked down the embankment, stepped on the rocks on the riverbank, glanced at the cyan horse from afar, sighed, stretched out his foot and dotted on the edge of the ice, before stepping on the ice. The moment he stepped down, a desolate aura suddenly permeated the glacier beneath his feet.

Chu Shiji looked at the man standing on the glacier in surprise, obviously he didn't feel the existence of the Dan breath in his body, but he could give birth to such a momentum, which was integrated with the glacier, giving people a feeling that no one could shake. Secretly: It is rumored that the ancient practice of breathing fist guides breath in form, and can breathe out the subtle breath between heaven and earth without borrowing the aperture of heaven and earth, and it is indeed true.

The cold wind in early spring is like a blade, blowing through the glacier, the long cyan mane of the horse floats up, the green horse can't help but neigh, raises his hooves and runs towards Xu Ruyu, and the river surface is nearly ten zhang wide in an instant. Xu Ruyu waited for the horse to rush to the front, rode on the trend, picked up the reins, and gently lifted up, Qingjun jumped up without pause, crossed the rocky river beach, and stood on the embankment of the ancient willows. Behind him there was a constant sound of shattering, and the ice layer of a certain thickness instantly shattered into powder and dissolved into the water, revealing the surging water waves of the glacier that had been frozen for months.

The Hulan Iron Horse, which was parked on the embankment, looked at the situation in the river and looked at Chu Shiji in unison. The iron horse went around to the other side of the river, it took more than a moment, there are not many masters here who can cross the river nearly ten zhang wide, Chu Shiji sighed secretly, Xu Ruyu showed this hand, indicating that if he wanted to go, no one would be able to leave him here.

When Xu Ruyu joined forces with Shao Haitang, Zhang Zhongdao and others in Yizhou to assassinate Yi Zhouwu under the intensive defense of the Yi family, the world still remembers it vividly. Xu Ruyu's heart is not healed, but looking at his technique of guiding breath with form, his strength should not be worse than when he was in Yizhou, Mei Yingxue and Fan Wenlong are rare peerless warriors in the world, Wei Yan and Fang Su are only a step worse than him, if he rashly leads people across the river, maybe Xu Ruyu will be determined to make the incident in Yizhou repeat.

Xu Ruyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the miserable red. The head gradually tilted, smearing a layer of evening mist like flowing pills on the distant sparse forest.

Chu Shiji looked at Xu Ruyu, then at the Liuxia in the western sky, at Chu Shixiu Yan on his side, exhaled, waved his hand, reined in the horse and turned around, and the iron cavalry in front of him was divided into two sides and moved the road out of the way. Let Xu Ruyu and the six people leave so calmly, they are unwilling, but they are helpless.

Chu Shixiuyan looked at the backs of Xu Ruyu and the others who were getting farther and farther away, stunned, turned around and galloped towards the Gongcheng City, Rui'er's eyes were foggy and looked into the distance, until Yan Lang pushed her back to her senses.

Xu Ruyu and the six of them traveled south to the bank of the river before turning and walking east along the outer embankment of the river. Shao Ruyan changed back into women's clothes and rode a horse with Mei Yingxue, and Xu Ruyu also took off Helianzhang's half of the armor, twisted off his mustache, and revealed his thin true face. At this time, the southeast trade wind has been blowing, although the spring cold is expected to be steep, but it brings a trace of warmth to the northern Dafang. In another ten and a half days, the ice above the river will gradually thin, and by the end of February, the banks of the river will burst into new green.

The four fields of Gaotang are in a mess, and the dead are piled up. Xu Ruyu and others walked along the post road from Gaotang to Anyang, and sighed in their hearts, although Zhao Jingyun intercepted the messenger sent by Cai Zhengshi to Gaotang once, but could not intercept the second time, and the reinforcements sent by Gaotang to Anyang on the road finally let the 20,000 Hulan iron cavalry led by Boyan Ziyi personally raid and crush in a battle. The guards of the Gaotang Dynasty were afraid that the Hulan people would repeat their tricks, so when they entered the city by means of the rout, they rushed into the Gaotang Lane together, and then closed the city gate, watching the Hulan Iron Cavalry chase and kill more than 10,000 defeated soldiers in the Gaotang Xiaoye.

The banner fluttering high at the head of Gaotang City, hunting in the wind and shattering endlessly. Xu Ruyu looked at the closed city gate, his eyes were astringent, he stood stunned for a while, and sighed: "Wenlong, you enter the city and tell the guard that if he thinks about the people of a city, he will dedicate Gaotang to Yihanwen, and say that the king of Beijing County will understand his hard work." ”

Fan Wenlong sighed, Xu Ruyu's words undoubtedly meant that he had given up on the situation of Youji. Dedicating Gaotang to the Yi family can protect the people of Gaotang City, and refugees from Hebei can also cross the river to Qingzhou through Gaotang to avoid disaster. Fan Wenlong bowed and said, "Wenlong will go back when he goes." ”

Everyone continued to walk eastward, and everywhere they went, there were the wolves left behind by the invasion of the Hulan Iron Cavalry, the desolate evening light, the embers in the ruins escaping in the cold wind, the black blood stains that seeped into the ice and soil, and the dead bodies plugged the road, and they didn't find a single cooking smoke all the way.

When everyone traveled to the territory of Lingyi, they met Zhao Jingyun, Peng Muqiu and others.

Hulan Tiecai rode away and plundered in Jiuyi in the south of Youji, and Zhao Jingyun led more than 100 elites to hide really hard.

Zhao Jingyun saw the sentry cavalry leading Xu Ruyu and the six people into the camp slowly, stepped up to meet them, crouched on the ground, and said: "My lord is in danger, Jingyun is missing, please remove Jingyun from the post of lieutenant." ”
