Chapter 485: A Generation of Emperors (23)
Half an hour later, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a group of 300 men fled swiftly next to each other, through the leafy jungle, through the winding streams, and over the steep mountain ridges.
The sky was white, and when the morning light shone through the branches and leaves, shining on Wu Zhuang's body, there was a bottomless wisdom in his eyes, and there was a touch of perseverance from time to time. No matter how difficult the battle was, no matter how much he really died here, at this moment, his heart was extremely calm and became extremely determined.
Wu Shu glanced at Li Xianhui, who was still sleeping peacefully, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, he never thought that a girl's will could be so strong, he ran away all night, he tried his best to help, but Li Xianhui did not shout from beginning to end. In Li Xianhui's weak body, there is a strong heart hidden, she is really a special woman! How good it would be if you were born a few years earlier......
Thinking of this, Wu Chu shook his head slowly, and then smiled bitterly, this time I don't know if he can escape, if he really wants to die here, then did he do something wrong?
"Your Highness......"
A gentle and tired voice came into Wu Zhai's ears, Wu Chuan raised his eyes, only to see that Li Xianhui had already woken up, looking at Wu Chuan with a pair of worried eyes, and that lazy meaning instantly made a lightning bolt pass through Wu Zhai's heart. He moved slightly, and then slowly stretched out his hand, his fingers caressing the hair that was wet with beads of sweat and a little messy, Li Xianhui suddenly lowered her head, not daring to take another look.
Wu Shu said in a low voice: "If you can return to the Divine Capital this time, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Li Xianhui hung her head and did not answer.
Wu Chu was stunned. sighed: "Even if you don't want to, I will make your life prosperous......"
"The slaves and maids are like this, and His Highness already knows the minds of the slaves and maids in his heart. Why do you even have to ask? Li Xianhui said in a low voice, and then said: "The slave and maid don't ask for that title, I just hope that His Royal Highness will take care of the slave and maid more, and the slave and maid will be satisfied."
Wu Chu was dumbfounded, and immediately took Li Xianhui into his arms and said, "What a good girl!" ”
"Your Highness!"
Wu Hei's voice came from behind him. I saw Wu Hei with strips of cloth tied around his shoulders, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the soldiers are cold and hungry. You see? ”
Wu Shui then asked, "How many horses are there?" ”
"And fifty-four war horses!"
Wu Shu closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, and said, "Then kill six inferior horses first, and let the brothers have a full meal." Let's hurry! ”
Wu Hei's face was happy. Immediately bow down.
Originally, there were nearly 100 war horses, and nearly half of them were lost in the process of escaping, and now the rest are almost all high-quality horses, so killing horses is very reluctant for any general, and Wu Chu is even more sad. As a commander, he has now reached this point. It can be said that he has a great responsibility.
Not long after, when wisps of the scent of horse meat burrowed into Wu Qi's nostrils. Wu Hei came to Wu Zheng with a pot of horse meat, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, the meat is here!" ”
Wu Chu's face was calm, but he also nodded, killing the war horse was also a last resort, and he couldn't blame these guards. It's just that when he thinks of the separation of Yang Zhiqian and Fan Yong and others, there is a sense of sadness in his chest, if Fan Yong has something, and if he returns to Shendu, how to make Xiang Fan Lihua explain? and Dong Wu, I don't know how life and death are, these have always been haunting his heart, he just doesn't want to touch it. Now, when the steaming horse meat was in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his two sons, if something really happened to the second son, he wouldn't mind completely slaughtering the Khitan!
But no matter what, you have to escape, you have to fill your stomach. After thinking about it, Wu Chu stretched out his big hand that was a little dirty, grabbed a piece of horse meat, and then tore off a piece, handed it to Li Xianhui, and said, "Eat it, it tastes bad, but you can have strength after eating." ”
Li Xianhui took it and chewed it slowly.
Wu Chu stood up and said with a smile: "Generals, it is also a happy thing to eat horse meat with me today, generals, please eat!" ”
After saying that, he ate it in a big gulp, and the generals also laughed heroically. However, the pot of horse meat and broth were swept away by Wu Zhuang.
Wu Chu was about to stand up, but when he heard the sound of a klattering bowstring, he immediately shouted, "Enemy attack!" Get down! ”
Whoosh!
One arrow after another broke through the wind, Wu Chu pulled out his long sword, the hilt of the sword shook, and the arrows were instantly cut off in front of his eyes, Wu Chu immediately picked up Li Xianhui, stepped on the flame horse, and then roared: "Brothers, follow me!" ”
Wu Hei and other guards had already raised their shields to follow, and some clever soldiers also followed the group.
"Capture the prince alive, a bounty of 10,000 taels, and a captain of 10,000 people!"
A slurred Da Zhou's words came, as if they were all over the mountains and forests. But Wu Chuan was smart and clear-sighted, so he naturally knew the direction in which the voice came from, and immediately, he rushed out first.
Obviously, the Khitan people have been prepared, and seem to be very familiar with this area, not long after, only to see hundreds of Khitan people blocked in front of them, Wu Chu didn't say a word, shouted angrily, raised his spear, and rushed to kill first, the Khitan people shouted endlessly, and pulled out long knives, or bows and arrows, aimed at Wu Chu, Wu Chu was not afraid at all, the spear was held, the spear was blooming, and in an instant, several blood flowers were splashed, and the Khitan people screamed again and again.
It's just that there is this group of Khitans entangled, but in a moment, several teams of Khitans shouted and killed. Wu Chu shouted: "Soldiers, follow me and break through!" ”
The generals roared angrily, struggling to kill the enemy, followed by Wu Chu, Wu Chu stabbed out with a shot, and one or two Khitan soldiers were killed, so the killing efficiency made the Khitan people shocked, when the heads of three centurions in a row were stabbed one after another, bright red blood splashed everywhere, and the feverish eyes of the Khitan people finally revealed the color of fear.
Is this still human?
Wu Chuan looked in all directions, and suddenly found a breakthrough, shouted angrily, more than 20 shots in succession, 23 corpses were thrown away at once, and there was an open space in front of him, Wu Chuan shouted, "Go!" ”
Suddenly, the flame pony hissed and rushed out.
Yan Mountain, once the largest mountain range in the land of Youyan, was the barrier of the northeastern territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, blocking the invasion of countless nomadic tribes. Until the Central Plains Dynasty expanded to Guanwai, the barrier role of Yanshan was greatly reduced.
However, the Luanshui River broke the Yan Mountain, forming several extremely steep mountain passes. Since the Wuhu invasion of the Central Plains, these mountain passes have gradually become important. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, many passes have been set up in these mountain passes, which are guarded by various border armies. However, since the rebellion of the Khitans, these passes have also been almost abandoned.
After several days of escaping, a team of more than 100 people slowly walked through the mountains and forests.
Wu Shu stood still and looked at the guards behind him. Looking at the knife wound on Wu Hei's face, he had a sense of heroic end in his heart. Is this the end of my life? When it came, there were nearly 100,000 troops, but now it is only more than 100 people. How did he deal with it?
Drive, drive, drive!
There was a burst of shouting, the generals' faces changed slightly, and Wu Zheng's eyes stared, and he looked at the place where the sound of horses' hooves came from.
Not much. I saw a Khitan general galloping across a chestnut war horse. The generals immediately raised their crossbows. Aimed at the Khitan generals. The general was not afraid at all, he arrived at the front, dismounted, immediately knelt on the ground, with a sincere expression, and said: "The sin general Luo Wu will knock on His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
With a wave of his hand, the generals put down their bows and crossbows, and he asked, "Do you know this king?" ”
Luo Wu bowed down and said, "Your Highness." Do you still remember the sacrifice of prisoners in Chang'an during the Chung Yeung Festival in the second year of Yonglong? ”
Wu Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, but only for a moment. I remembered that in the second year of Yonglong, Emperor Li Zhi recruited himself into Beijing, on that day, the students of the two capitals greeted him on Suzaku Street, drank chrysanthemum wine, and sang poems, but they were mixed up by a killing of prisoners, and they also had fun from then on......
Wu Chu said slowly: "This king remembers. ”
Luo Wu's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he still asked humbly: "Ashdwin Fu is the father of the guilty general, His Royal Highness buried his deceased father back then, and the crime will be remembered in his heart, and he has not forgotten it so far, and now His Royal Highness is in prison, and the guilty will come to help His Highness get out of trouble in order to repay His Highness for burying his father." ”
After that, Luo Wuquan kowtowed again.
Wu Chu paused and said, "Although this king is in prison, but he has not yet reached the end of his rope, how can you make this king believe?" Why does this king believe in you? ”
Luo Wu was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of perseverance appeared in his eyes, and he choked, only to see him pull out his sword, the sword light flashed, and half of his arm snapped and broke, falling to the ground, blood splashed, and the broken arm was dripping with blood, and the bones were white. In an instant, Luo Wu's face turned pale, and he still knelt on the ground without shouting.
Wu Chu paused, sighed, stepped forward, pulled up Luo Wuquan, stared at Luo Wucheng, and said, "The general broke this arm, how can this king feel at ease?" If he gets out of trouble this time, this king will definitely live up to the sincerity of the general. ”
Sting!
Wu Chu tore off his inner robe, and then bandaged it with his own hands.
Luo Wu's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't speak.
In this way, under the leadership of Luo Wuquan, Wu Chuan and his party of 100 people came to the bank of the Luanshui River. Looking at the Luanshui like a jade belt, the soldiers were so tired that they lay on the riverside, Wu Chu looked at the remaining ten war horses, and sighed in his heart, if he couldn't go out, then these more than ten war horses would have to become food in the belly, then the next days would be extremely difficult, at this moment, he hoped that Guo Zhiyun and Black Tooth Changzhi could do their best to capture the rear of the Khitan, then at least there was no Khitan encirclement and interception.
"Your Highness, please drink water!" Li Xianhui walked to Wu Chu with a leather bag.
Wu Chu took it, poured a sigh of relief, and then looked at Luanshui again, and traveled here, although Luanshui had been seen, but Luanshui was intricate in Yanshan, and he couldn't make a decision lightly.
Whoosh!
I only heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, Wu Chu suddenly pulled Li Xianhui, and Wu Hei shouted: "Protect Your Highness!" ”
The guards raised their shields and went to Wu Chu to block the sudden arrows. Luo Wuquan shouted and said, "Your Highness, this arrow is the Great Zhou bow and arrow!" ”
Immediately, I saw a dense crowd of black-clothed masked people swarming over, Wu Zheng's eyes were fixed, and his heart fluctuated. Obviously, this is not a Khitan, this should be a dead soldier! Who can domesticate the dead, except for the Great Zhou royal family and the family, who can afford to dome? If it were royalty, who would it be? Queen? Obviously impossible, after years of layout, the empress's secret has long been no secret. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi? It's also impossible, over the years, there have been many eyeliners placed around the two! If it is a family, then if it can escape the danger this time, it will make the family a thing of the past!
"Your Highness, go up this river to Xifengkou, where there is a pass!"
Wu Chu turned his head and saw that it was Luo Wuqing, and he immediately shouted: "Go upstream, don't mess up!" ”
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed masked man rushed in, and Wu Chuan led more than a hundred people to quickly go up the Luanshui River. (To be continued......)
