Chapter 64: The stabbing
Two days later, in the early morning, Princess Rouyan had not eaten water and rice for several days, and fainted in front of the palace, and the king sent someone to forcibly pour the soup and send it back to the palace.
The Tianyi army had approached the capital and was stationed thirty miles outside the city, eyeing the city.
A few days later, the last line of defense in Xijing was broken, and General Ma Yeol, who was stationed in Gyeonggi, was killed, and the defense line collapsed and the capital was trapped.
King Yu abandoned the archers and infantry, and only gathered all the cavalry with Prince Rong to go into battle lightly, marching day and night, and never stopping to break several cities.
It only took ten days to push all the way from the attack to the capital.
The palace maids in the palace fled in a hurry with their belongings, and some were captured and strangled by the palace wall before they left the palace.
Rou Yan lay on the bed, her eyes staring ahead in a daze, her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, and she didn't say a word.
Although Ruoyun's condition has not deteriorated, there is still pain in her abdomen, and her whole body is weak as if she has been drained of her strength, and she only leans against the window with her clothes.
It was getting late, and shouts rang out inside and outside the palace, and there was a faint sound of soldiers facing each other from far and near.
Ruoyun stood up violently, although he couldn't see anyone through the window lattice, but the main hall was in flames, I was afraid that the capital would be broken, and the palace would not be protected.
Looking back at Rou Yan, who was motionless, Ruoyun sighed softly.
Even if they were enemies, this little princess was as kind as a pure pearl and could not have any thoughts of hurting her, not to mention that she had saved her when her life was on the line.
For example, today's army came, but she didn't want to leave Rou Yan alone.
The door of the dormitory was kicked open, but it turned out to be the man in black who had been covered that day, and he had disappeared since Sotai went to see the king.
A pair of flattering eyes, his eyes were flat, and he didn't hold any weapons. He swept lightly over the two people in the room and sneered: "You think." Can hiding in the dormitory avoid disaster? ”
When Rou Yan saw her, she was suddenly shocked. rushed over and knelt down: "You are Brother Wang's master...... Please, save Brother Wang...... Save Brother Wang......"
As he spoke, he touched his head to the ground, and his hair fell apart, so he was not embarrassed.
"Why should I save him?" The man in black snorted coldly, but added, "Your father doesn't like Sotai the most, why are you willing to kill him?" ”
"What did you say?!" Rou Yan's eyes widened, but she was powerless to ask again.
"That day, I just sat down on the roof of the old king's dormitory, and the old king's mouth was full of Sotai's name." The man in black only said one sentence and didn't bother to explain further. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Rou Yan's throat, "Say!" Where's the quenching order?! ”
His soft voice like a spring breeze spat out terrifying words, and Rou Yan was stuck in her throat and shook her head desperately with her eyes wide in horror.
"Let her go!" Ruoyun reacted and hurriedly ran over to try to break his hand.
And the smooth back of the man in black's hand made her slip off with a grab, but she was knocked to the ground by his elbow.
The man in black sneered, didn't take her seriously at all, and asked Rou Yan again: "Say!" Where's the quenching order? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into a young man covered in blood. The body was covered with scars, and on the thin, distorted face, a pair of dark eyes like a wolf and a tiger searched anxiously.
The hand of the man in black who grabbed Rou Yan's neck fell into his eyes without any mistakes.
"Wang ...... Brother ......" Rou Yan struggled to squeeze out two words.
"Master! You...... What are you doing here? Thortai was shocked, anxious but did not dare to step forward.
"Quenching order! Hand it over! The man in black was unmoved. The opening threatened.
"Master! Believe me! The quenching order is not on the apprentice! Thortac knelt down on one knee and let out a cry of pain.
"Don't you say yes?" The man in black's soft eyes shone with a silky light, and the strength in his hand was about to increase.
Zotai's face changed drastically.
Ruoyun got up in pain. Looking around, there is nothing to use as a weapon. And Rou Yan and herself, after freshening up last night, they never wore hairpin ring jewelry again.
Look at Rou Yan who is dripping with cold sweat. His face was already red and purple.
Ruoyun was excited, and reached into his arms with trembling hands, and pounced on Sotai.
"Don't move! Otherwise, I'll kill your good apprentice!" She drank as hard as she could, and the tip of the butterfly hairpin, which had been carefully placed in her pocket, pressed against Thortac's throat.
Zotai was shocked, and then realized that he did not resist.
The man in black was originally disdainful, but when he saw it clearly, his eyes became solemn and shocked, staring at the butterfly hairpin in her hand.
Ruoyun's hands were sweaty, and her heart was beating wildly.
However, apart from this method, there is no one who can restrain the man in black for the time being.
As soon as the man in black let go, Rou Yan fell to the ground without strength.
"Humph! Let you go! Quenching makes him take it back on the day! The man in black threw down the sentence and ran out of the door.
Ruoyun only felt a slight pain somewhere in her body.
As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Rou Yan coughed a few times, got up from the ground angrily, rushed forward and pushed her to the ground: "Let go of my brother Wang!" ”
She was in pain, and suddenly her eyes were full of gold stars, and the butterfly hairpin fell to the ground unsteadily, and rolled to the corner with a few dingdongs.
Rou Yan hugged Suo Tai tightly, crying and laughing: "Brother Wang...... Yan'er is afraid ......"
Sotai wrapped one hand around her body, patted her back with the other, and said softly, "It's okay, it's just that the few guards who are guarding me and the Tianyi soldiers outside are a little troublesome." ”
Suotai, who fell into Ruoyun's eyes, was like a brother who tried his best to take care of his sister.
And he looked at Ruoyun's eyes, as if he was faintly grateful.
The shouting and shouting of killing became louder and louder, and in the distance, the banner of the tiger and the banner of the eagle were waving in this direction.
Sotai stumbled down in pain.
Rou Yan was shocked, wiped her tears, and hurriedly helped him up: "Brother Wang, hide it first!" Fast! ”
Cold sweat trickled down from the corners of his forehead, Suo Tai hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, but he took a breath and turned his hand to pinch Ruoyun's neck.
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Prince Suotai is really courteous. ”
"Offended." Thortai whispered, forcing her behind the bed.
Rou Yan looked at Ruoyun as if she was apologetic, and slowly turned the bedpost in her hand, and a small secret room appeared on the painted wall behind the bed.
When Zotai entered, the partition wall slowly closed again, and he could see through the hollowed out.
As soon as Sothai entered the chamber, his hands drooped, and his eyes closed and he was no longer able to breathe.
Rou Yan turned around, and the door was already surrounded by water.
Rong Yixuan abandoned soft armor, wore simple clothes, and his angular face was handsome, even more than the jade that left the country, and at this moment, with the coldness after the killing, he stepped in with a sword in one hand and a murderous aura.
The blood stains on the sword were still dripping before they dried, and Rou Yan instinctively retreated, holding her hands tightly, almost fainting in fright, but she still barely stood with a pale face.
"Are you Princess Rouyan?" Rong Yixuan stood still, looking at the trembling little girl in front of him with disdain, and his voice stabbed like a sharp blade.
"Yes...... It's ......" Rou Yan looked at him as if he was coming from hell, and she almost collapsed.
Rong Yixuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw that she could still look directly: "Say, where is Sotai?" ”
"I ...... I...... I don't know ......" Rou Yan trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind, but she still didn't want to reveal it.
"That-" Rong Yixuan lowered his voice and said softly, "Where is Su Ruoyun?!" ”
Ruoyun was shocked, and there was an inexplicable feeling of emotion and expectation in her heart, but then there was a deep panic - if she went out, she could save Rou Yan, but Suo Tai was bound to be discovered, Rong Yixuan would definitely not spare Suo Tai, and Princess Rou Yan would also be in pain.
Rou Yan shook her head more fiercely, biting her lower lip and bowing her head silently.
Rong Yixuan's face sank into anger because of the obvious weakness of his heart, his face sank, and in the next moment, he reached out and grabbed the hair on the back of her head, and shouted angrily: "You don't say it!" This king wants to see what is the situation of this most precious pearl of the country, naked and the corpse hall! ”
The corners of his mouth twitched a smug and sneer, Ruoyun's heart suddenly cooled to the soles of her feet, and the rumored ruthless Prince Rong seemed to be like an eagle falcon that had found its prey at this moment, making her feel so strange.
This cold-faced prince and the man who kissed her in the tent were the same person......
Rou Yan cried out in pain, Ruoyun only felt a "buzzing" sound in her head, and blurted out: "Stop!" ”
She slammed the door with all her might, and Thortai's feeble hand behind her suddenly lifted up, touching the mechanism on the wall, and the wall opened again.
Rong Yixuan was stunned when he heard the sound, and following the direction of the sound, Ruoyun was wearing a woven foreign coat, plain clothes, and came towards him around the bed curtain, his face was so familiar, but his eyes were anxious - looking straight at Rou Yan.
He was stunned, only to see her snatch Rou Yan and take a few steps back, looking at him as if he had seen a fierce beast, which turned his joy into pain.
He came to save her, but she ......
While he was stunned, Ruoyun had an extra dagger around her neck, and Suo Tai didn't know when he arrived behind her, glaring at him with extremely resentful eyes.
"Ridiculous! Can a single hostage threaten this king? You're killing and killing? He couldn't help but snort coldly, and the anger in his heart made him blurt out.
Ruoyun trembled violently, and was awakened by this sentence, and looked at him in disbelief.
Rong Yixuan was shocked at this time, but he secretly remorseful but disdainfully lifted the long sword: "Sotai, put down your weapons and surrender obediently, I can leave a whole corpse for your brother and sister!" ”
"Oh?" Sotai suddenly laughed contemptuously, "Okay, I'll put it down." ”
His wrist sank, and the knife did not stab Ruoyun's neck, but fell into Ruoyun's hand, and he pushed it.
Ruoyun only felt her head ring, but she was obviously awake, but she involuntarily held the knife, as if she was controlled by something, and leaned forward as fast as lightning.
Rong Yixuan instinctively stretched out his hand to hold her, but the dagger was sent into his waist with her twisted smile.
He sat down, with a look of shock and pain, and his color changed dramatically when he touched her smiling expression: Could it be that she was Thortai's man?
Ruoyun fell down, and completely woke up the moment the knife entered the body!
She jumped up in a panic, and hurried to see that the dagger had been half submerged in his body, and the red blood was slowly flowing down and soaking the jade pendant around his waist. (To be continued......)
