The western suburbs, the largest outing area in Shangdu, with lush forests, a hundred flowers blooming, empty mountains, blue sky and white clouds, natural waterfalls, and turquoise rivers, are the favorite resorts of elegant scholars.

However, today it seems deserted and sparsely populated, Ye Gucheng and Li Yueli are talking and laughing all the way.

As Li Yueli wished, Ye Gucheng neither brought any guards, nor did he let the golden dragon accompany him.

Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he also prefers the two of them to play unrestrained and undisturbed.

Riding the horse to a remote mountain forest, Li Yueli proposed to dismount and enter the forest, Ye Gucheng gladly accepted, and the two tied the horses to the trunk of the tree and entered the forest.

The bamboo forest is a resort in the western suburbs, straight and tall on the green bamboo, the bamboo leaves fall with the wind, and it is beautiful.

The two of them sat on the gazebo, admiring the natural scenery and feeling the mountain breeze.

While talking and laughing, Ye Gucheng's brows suddenly furrowed, and with his intuition, he sensed that something was wrong around him.

Soon, his intuition came to validation.

In the bamboo forest, dozens of black-clothed and masked people poured out from all directions, all murderous and armed with machetes.

When Ye Gucheng saw this formation, he knew that he couldn't be good, so he slowly got up and protected Li Yueli behind him.

Too careless!

Ye Gucheng couldn't have imagined that there were still people in Shangdu who dared to rebel now, because for the sake of play, he didn't carry any weapons, let alone armor to protect himself, just a robe and bare hands.

"Brothers, kill Ye Gucheng, return peace to the west, kill!" the leader roared violently and rushed over with a knife first.

"Kill!"

In an instant, dozens of black-clothed people surrounded them.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, plus it is necessary to protect Li Yueli from harm.

Even though Ye Gucheng had superb fighting skills, he still began to hang the lottery, and he was hit several times on his body one after another, and his robe became scarlet.

Just as he kicked a man in black away, he was slashed in the back again, and with a ruthless force, he quickly turned around and grabbed the machete, and his backhand was a blow, cutting the opponent over.

However, before he could catch his breath, he had a pain in his thigh, and he was stabbed again, and he didn't even think about it, so he fought back and killed a man in black again.

For a while, the sword light and sword shadow, flesh and blood flying, Ye Gucheng was completely reckless, did not dodge or dodge, as long as he left a hole on him, he would definitely suffer a thunderous counterattack.

Gradually, the man in black began to be afraid, a little hesitant, they are warriors, but also soldiers, it is normal to fight bloodily, but I have never seen a person so ruthless, not only to the enemy, but also to themselves!

Ye Gucheng finally got a moment of respite, and stuck the tip of the knife on the ground to support his crumbling body, he didn't know how many knives he had hit, on his arms, on his chest, on his back, on his thighs, repeatedly, these knife wounds, in addition to being attacked, were more for Li Yueli to resist, and the robe had already been stained with blood and lost its original appearance.

Li Yueli looked at the back in front of her with a complicated expression, and the hand that reached for the cuff began to tremble a little.

The black-clothed man in the lead looked at the more than twenty comrades who had died in battle beside Ye Gucheng, his face twitched, his eyes were cold, and he roared: "Kill!"

The remaining dozens of men in black rushed forward again with their knives raised.

"Slow!" Ye Gucheng stopped the man in black, and immediately, said in a deep voice: "It is me who you want to kill, it has nothing to do with Li Yueli, besides, she is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in the Western Realm, as long as she is let go, I will never resist." ”

Ye Gucheng knew that he could not escape death, and at this moment, what he was thinking about in his mind was not the regret that he could not take revenge, but let Li Yueli live.

"Ye Gucheng. ”

Ye Gucheng heard a soft cry from behind him, turned his head habitually, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his chest, and his pupils suddenly contracted rapidly.

A dagger pierced deep into his heart, and at the other end of the dagger was a slender jade hand.

Ye Gucheng's feet were weak, his knees were weak and kneeling on the ground, and blood was dripping down the corners of his mouth.

Li Yueli also knelt down silently and slowly helped her wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth, however, more blood overflowed.

"Why?" Ye Gucheng wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, and his heart was filled with a strong sense of loss and despair.

"Only when you die, the western realm will be peaceful!" Li Yueli didn't know why she was crying, as if she didn't know why her heart hurt so much.

"So, your performance in the past few days is all for today!" Ye Gucheng finally knew why he was suddenly ambushed, and couldn't help but smile, with an indescribable sadness and grief in his smile.

"Ye Gucheng, we are always people of two worlds! you don't have a choice, and I don't have a choice!" Li Yueli felt powerless about fate for the first time, if she turned back time, she would rather not have saved each other in the fighting ring!

Just as he was about to pull out the dagger, he suddenly heard the sound of a rapid horse's hooves, and his heart was startled, and he suddenly looked sideways.

I saw hundreds of cavalry suddenly coming, as if they were soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion.

"Commander!" Seeing Ye Gucheng's miserable situation from afar, the wasp suddenly opened his eyes angrily and roared: "Kill!"

The man in black never imagined that Ye Gucheng would have a back hand, and hurriedly met the soldiers of the patrol battalion.

Li Yueli knew that the matter was exposed, and she had no time to care about the safety of the people in Shangdu, she only knew one thing, Ye Gucheng must die, otherwise, it would be the end of the people in the entire western realm.

Ye Gucheng seemed to know Li Yueli's intentions, desperately fighting with the only remaining consciousness, he grabbed the slender hand holding the dagger and didn't let him pull it out, noticing that the wasp wanted to shoot Li Yueli, and in a hurry, he roared violently: "Don't hurt her." ”

The wasp was stunned, hurriedly collected the arrows, and continued to gallop on his horse, seeing that Ye Gucheng was becoming more and more dangerous, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he flew and kicked Li Yueli who was entangled, and held Ye Gucheng with a hand.

Li Yueli knew that she would inevitably die, so she no longer struggled pointlessly, and let the soldiers of the patrol battalion capture her, but her eyes were full of unwillingness when she looked at Ye Gucheng.

"I'm going to live. After Ye Gucheng said this, he completely fainted.

The wasp understood, and while quickly picking up Ye Gucheng on his horse, he ordered the soldiers who were basically at the end: "Catch it alive, wait for the commander to deal with it." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the patrol battalion looked at the distant war horses with worried expressions, and escorted the masked man in black and Li Yueli back to the capital.

The wasp galloped wildly, for the scene that had just happened, he was still afraid, if it weren't for the patrol battalion guards who found that dozens of people were secretly assembled to go to the western suburbs, and he felt different, and after some inquiry, he learned that Ye Gucheng and Li Yueli were outing in the western suburbs, for fear that the commander would encounter an accident and deliberately bring troops to come, but he was afraid that the commander would really be stabbed to death!

In the upper capital city, passers-by saw the horses speeding by, their faces changed drastically, and they had already seen Ye Gucheng in a bloody coma.

Yefu.

In the room, the servant was busy in a hurry, and the healer was carefully cleaning the wound, but in the face of the dagger inserted in the heart, he was at a loss.

Ye Gucheng was seriously injured, covered with knife wounds, of course, these are not the deadliest, the most deadly is this dagger, he is not sure whether it is inserted into the vital point, if it is, he is afraid that the gods will be powerless.

"What are you grinding for? I'll tell you, if the commander has any three strengths and two weaknesses, I'll kill you. The wasp saw the healer's grinding and chirping, and his heart became even more irritable.

The doctor's heart trembled, and he had no choice but to say, "General, can you go out first, otherwise, I won't be able to treat it!"

It's no wonder that the healer is nervous, at this moment, in addition to the servants, there are more murderous generals in Ye Gucheng's room, especially Xuanyuan and others, with an unparalleled cold in their fierceness, which really makes the healer panic.

Perhaps it was the healer's words that worked, and the generals in the room returned to the hall one after another.

Bang!

In a fit of rage, Xuanyuan smashed the wooden table with a fist, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "The people in the Western Realm are all white-eyed wolves that can't be raised, and the commander should kill them all." ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals on the side changed, they were the generals of the Western Realm, because Ye Gucheng had clear rewards and punishments, they were also happy to be the generals of Huaxia, in fact, most of the soldiers had accepted this fact, compared to the military system of the Western Regions, the military system of the Huaxia Kingdom allowed them to see a better future.

Xuanyuan Xue's mind was obviously much more delicate than Xuanyuan's, and she hurriedly said: "This is not appropriate, now there is no Western Realm, we are all generals of Huaxia Kingdom, if the commander hears it, he will definitely not like it." ”

Xuanyuan knew that he was speechless and no longer spoke, but he had already made up his mind in his heart that if the commander could not be saved, he would definitely slaughter the city and bury the commander.

As the minutes tickled, everyone in the hall fidgeted to check what was going on, and the healer walked out, sweating profusely.

"How's it going, is the commander alright?"

The generals gathered around.

The healer panicked and said intermittently: "The dagger on the commander's chest has been pulled out, but fortunately there is still a little distance from the vital point. ”

Hearing this, the generals were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "When will the commander wake up?"

The doctor was even more panicked, wiping the sweat on his forehead and trembling: "Lord Commander has too many wounds, and the blood loss is very serious, can you wake up... I don't know. ”

"Rice buckets, waste, what do you want? Someone, drag it out and cut it down. Regulus was furious.

"What's the wolf howling?" Xuanyuan Xue glared at her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Kill the doctor, are you going to treat the commander?"

Xuanyuan seemed to be a little afraid of Xuanyuan Xue, and hurriedly motioned for the guards to retreat, stared coldly at the healer and said, "I tell you, the commander can't wake up, I will kill your whole family." ”

The healer was so frightened that he promised again and again.

The news of Ye Gucheng's attack and uncertain life and death soon swept through the entire Shangdu.

Some people applauded, while others secretly worried! The former were the children of the scholars, the dignitaries and nobles who had lost their land, and the slave owners, while the latter were slaves and poor families who had tasted the sweetness of the Chinese law.

To put it bluntly, born in troubled times, it is not easy to live, what people desire and need is only three meals a day, although Ye Gucheng kills people without blinking, but it also really improves their lives, poverty and wealth will not be so obvious.

Of course, more sane people are worried about another thing, once Ye Gucheng is really killed, I am afraid that the western realm will fall into a military disaster again, how terrifying the barbarian army is that no one contains, the people living in the western realm know better than anyone else.

The dragon's groan resounded through the sky, as if it was roaring at something.

The people of Shangdu were shocked, and only then did they realize that the golden dragon soaring in the sky was even more terrifying.

Yefu.

Li Yueli stayed quietly in the wing, and at the door, the guards guarded layer by layer.

Days passed, and she never saw anyone except the servants who brought in three meals a day.

Compared with the man in black who assassinated Ye Gucheng, she was much luckier, and because of the sentence "Don't hurt her", the wasp did not put her in a prison to be tortured, but only imprisoned her in the room.

The maid pushed the door open with her food.

Li Yueli's heart moved, as if she said casually: "Is there any change in Shangdu?"

The maid glanced at Li Yueli with a strange expression, and slowly responded, "Miss, everything remains the same." ”

Li Yueli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said softly: "How is he?"

The maid understood what the eldest lady was referring to, and continued to reply, "The commander has not woken up yet. ”

Li Yueli was silent.
