Chapter 234: Escape
Early tomorrow morning, Rong Yixuan will wave his army to capture the canyon between the mountains, and the next Hongzhou and Jiangshan will not be just around the corner. Even if he intends to negotiate peace with the emperor, there is no slack in the army, Ruoyun took advantage of this spreading solemnity, wrapped herself in a cloak, and slipped out of the tent after a hasty dinner while the camp was lit and handed over.
It was still a few days to the junction of Fengzhou and Jinzhou, and it was necessary to move quickly, and several guards also had to use horses as foot strength, and according to the instructions, they reserved horses and waited in the camp mountain, and when they saw Ruoyun coming, they handed over the reins.
Ruo Yuncai rode on a horse to go around the rocks, but saw a person appear on the empty road that was dark and blocked her way.
Ruoyun suddenly tightened his fingers and drove the horse closer with fear, but the man grabbed the reins of the horse and said coldly: "These secret guards are people with different surnames? ”
Ruoyun heard Rong Yixuan's voice, and suddenly became nervous: "Lord, I ......"
"This king wants to know that you are going this time, but there is a guarantee?" Rong Yixuan said in a deep voice, tightening the sword in his hand, "You...... But go to the king with a different surname? ”
The guards behind him heard the cold sound of the sword scabbard and drove forward, but Ruoyun raised her hand to stop it, nodded and said, "Don't worry, if there are no acquaintances to stop you, it should be smooth." ”
Rong Yixuan sighed slightly in the dark, hesitated for a moment before polishing the fire fold, leaned in front of her, carefully looked at her eyes that were still clear and translucent in the night, looked down at the moire hem exposed under her cloak, and then raised his head to hide the meaning of loneliness, and said: "This time, this king may never see you again, right?" ”
Ruoyun breathed a little, and looked at the night dew on his loose bun through the faint light, and his deep eyes were opposite with affection. Still nodding in a daze.
"That's it, this king already has a beautiful wife and concubine by his side. Can't be greedy. Rong Yixuan suddenly smiled bitterly and extinguished the fire. The backhand hit the horse that Ruoyun was riding with an accessory, and dodged sideways, "Precious." ”
Ruoyun shook her body unexpectedly, and listened to the two words quickly crossed her ears, and the horse under her spread her hooves and galloped, she hurriedly tried her best to steady, and quickly bypassed the edge of the camp.
"Lord Rong, this time it's not Gu Mou's person." Gu Yinzhao didn't know when he appeared there, but he was still as calm as if he was out of the matter. With that, he lit a coarse torch, and the green signaling fireworks soared into the sky.
The dazzling signal was divided into three strands, and it sounded in the air to attract everyone's attention, and after a while, someone discovered Ruoyun's whereabouts, and the outpost couldn't stop the guards who hit the head to break through easily.
General Fu realized the change, and hurriedly rode his horse to chase out, only to reach the outpost when he encountered the people blocking the way, and had to stop in a roundabout way, and roared a little roughly: "Who stopped me?!" ”
The hood is peeled off. Rou Yan showed a fair and pink face, blinked, and although she was afraid, she still mustered up the courage to say, "General Fu." Someone ran away just now, it seems to be my sister. ”
"You won't confess." General Fu didn't want to say more, and was about to move forward but was stopped by Rou Yan's flash.
"General Fu. I saw where she went. Rou Yan pointed with her finger in a little anxious, but the direction deviated to the north.
"Humph! Milk doll Hugh is going to lie to me! General Fu finally burst into rage. Ignoring Rou Yan's obstruction, the whip went around her.
Rou Yan had to take a few steps back. Her dark eyes were full of anxiety, and someone behind her pulled her hard, dragging her away from the horse's hooves.
Rou Yan went to the side under the tree, saw that it was Suo Tai glaring at her, and immediately said in a mournful voice: "Brother, what should I do?" They watched my sister all the way, and now that my sister is gone, they are going to chase her......"
Suo Tai was unusually calm, his sharp eyes stared at the other side's distant movements, and motioned for her to be quiet: "Yan'er, we must watch the affairs of Tianyi on the wall, you and I are hostages at the moment, and no one knows what will happen in the future with just a contract." ”
Rou Yan's eyes widened, and she forcibly endured the swirling tears, so she had to nod obediently.
After a while, the torches in the camp doubled, and Guo Duwei led people to find Rong Yixuan, who was pacing back, and said breathlessly: "Lord Wang! The emperor's people moved! ”
Rong Yixuan was shocked, and the sword scabbard hit his throat as soon as it was crossed: "Really?!" ”
"Yes! Wang Qi seems to be chasing the Qingping Sect, and he doesn't come to us! Guo Duwei said, not forgetting to turn his head to the young general who wanted to come forward to ask, "The whole army maintains military discipline, don't panic." ”
Rong Yixuan's eyes turned cold, and the fine iron sword came out of its sheath, drawing a cold light on the neck of Gu Yinzhao, who was following him.
"The prince is angry, and his subordinates always have to report one or two if they are not doing well." Gu Yinzhao admitted without waiting for him to ask that the barrage that fell in three strands was a signal of 'failure', and the purpose was indeed to get the emperor's attention.
"Someone just escaped from the barracks, and they will chase after their subordinates find out." Guo Duwei pleaded guilty.
"Don't check, immediately gather light cavalry to the east to intercept the Qingping Sect." Rong Yixuan no longer cared about Gu Yin Zhao, and pushed him away at the same time with his sword, and said loudly: "General Zhao is strictly on standby, no longer need to surround the valley, the army can directly join the Hongzhou army!" As he spoke, he turned over and stepped on the nearest horse, turned his horse's head, and said, "This king will ride lightly, and do not make a noise!" ”
"Lord Wang......" Guo Duwei was stunned by this rapidly changing situation, and he couldn't say half a sentence of exhortation, so he hurriedly acted according to the order.
Ruoyun walked east along the river, and after a while, she felt strange, and when she turned her head, she saw that the signal was playing, and the Qingping sect members who were besieging the valley gathered very quickly and came in her direction like a tide.
Her scalp suddenly tingled, and all kinds of situations converged little by little in her mind, thinking that although the Qingping Sect seems to be a rabble, it is decisive and quite large-scale every time, it seems that the sect leader has good generals, and "Qingping Ascending to Immortals" is not enough to confuse everyone, these people have their own skills, I am afraid that they have promised some high-ranking officials to work so hard, those people have given up on the emperor now, and they are bent on dealing with it as if it is themselves!
She was anxious in her heart, and galloped on her horse, although the horse was not skillful, but she had to run away, and did not dare to stop with the guards, and there was no time to study the route when she crossed the embankment to control the water, so she ordered the guards to lead the way.
Although Ruoyun didn't understand the reason, she knew that General Fu must have chased after her, as long as she was a little slower, General Fu's people would catch up with her, and if she was slower, the people from the Qingping Sect would also come, it stands to reason that she would not die regardless of the former or the latter, but she would never be able to escape.
Ruoyun took a detour along the route given by the secret guard, looking back from time to time, and finally saw that the banner of the Qingping Sect stopped and fell easily, as if it was intercepted, but it was still early to breathe a sigh of relief, and dozens of people were already chasing after him from afar.
She hadn't ridden her horse like this, she didn't expect it to be very physically exhausting, and she was forced to slow down when she ran for a long time, and she could vaguely hear the roar of General Fu among the people who were chasing after her.
Ruoyun wanted to move again, but she was physically exhausted, and after arriving at the woodland, she slowed down in despair, allowing General Fu's people to surround her, and could only gasp for breath, let go of the reins and prostrate on the horse's back.
"Miss Su, the emperor has followed suit, and I also ask Miss Su to go back to face the saint in the end." General Fu was not far in front of her, and his breath was not much faster, as if she would be able to catch up with him steadily if she escaped.
The three guards couldn't help but surround Ruoyun in the middle and didn't let go.
"Fu, General Fu......" Ruoyun was still panting violently, trying to persuade, but when she touched his burning gaze, she was immediately deflated, so she had to plead, "Please let me go, we will ...... Reluctant to do anything with you. ”
"Hmph, Fu has to order the guards, and he can't tolerate the slightest mistake, and I ask Miss Su not to resist stubbornly." Although General Fu didn't make a move immediately, his momentum remained undiminished, as if he was not afraid of the secret guards at all, and he was as dismissive as he was about her mind to learn to ride a horse in order to escape.
Ruoyun was anxious but had nothing to do, the secret guard was extremely strong, and he couldn't get cheap with General Fu, but if she really wanted to kill each other, she would make the fisherman benefit, she couldn't do this, she barely straightened up, raised her sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat rolling down, and said: "General Fu, the Qingping Sect is pretending to besiege, just waiting for the opportunity to break through, but the main force is used for other purposes." Now that the Qingping Sect is chasing, the prince will not give up, General Fu will quickly turn back and let him not go any deeper, don't be tricked. ”
As she spoke, she felt dizzy and had to close her eyes to rest, but what she said just now made her unable to let go, not so much that the emperor wanted to lure the main force of the Qingping Sect to come and exterminate it, but that the Qingping Sect was feintting to attack and drag the emperor, and by the way attracted attention......
"Hmph, the girl still thinks about herself, I am on the orders of the emperor, what do others have to do with me?" General Fu didn't give a cent, and threatened impatiently, but he didn't make a rash move in the end.
The neighing of the horses and the sound of the dead branches trampled by the horses' hooves caused her thoughts to be confused, Ruoyun tried to breathe, and before she could say more, she clearly felt the ground move, and some of General Fu's people couldn't help but shout.
As the horse paced anxiously in place, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the towering Star Picking Pavilion could be seen at the edge of the forest slightly crooked, she suspected that she was dazzled and mistaken when she looked at it again, and clearly saw that the Star Picking Pavilion and the cedar trees on both sides were not in the same direction, and she was shocked after a little doubt - the Star Picking Pavilion is a machine building, and the Star Picking Pavilion moved the leylines that Bai Ze said had changed?
"General Fu, please get out of the way." Ruoyun immediately tightened the reins of the horse and threatened in a cold voice, "I can only leave safely tonight, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
General Fu's expression was grim, this time he drew his sword and looked at him coldly, and said without fear: "Since you are unwilling to give in, let's do it!" ”
Ruoyun gritted her teeth and glared angrily, but she heard the screaming sound without waiting for the order, she instinctively frowned, and then the whistles sounded one after another in the forest, and there were ghostly figures that appeared alternately, and there were cavalry screaming and falling off their horses on the periphery, only to see the secret guard in front of him raise his hand and wave, and one person was stopped in the air and fell at the feet of General Fu.
"Girl go first! I'm afraid it's an ambush! Bai Li gave a warning and focused on judging the direction of the enemy. (To be continued......)
