Chapter 221: Expediency
Seeing that Yan Yuntieqi was very close to Guan Qing, he couldn't allow Liu Wei to think too much, he gritted his teeth, jumped towards Guan Qing violently, and when he arrived in front of her, he grabbed her wrist, twisted her body and pulled her back, grabbed her soft buttocks with both hands, and ran back towards the entrance of the village.
The buttocks were supported by Liu Wei's hand, Guan Qing suddenly felt a tingling all over his body, and weakly lay his body on Liu Wei's back.
In Liu Wei's view, the reason why Gongsun Zhan wanted to capture him was nothing more than to use his name to order the world. With this layer of pros and cons, this group of Yanyun Iron Horsemen who were rushing towards the village would definitely not kill him easily. Moreover, the cavalry is suitable for fighting in the open field, once it enters a small place, it is difficult to exert the power it should have, as long as it can last until the night, even if it is a fight, Liu Wei and Guan Qing are not completely hopeless to escape at night.
The sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and Liu Wei carried Guan Qing on his back and rushed towards the village. When he entered the entrance of the village, he didn't even think much about it, but sped up a little faster, and plunged into a house slightly closer to the inner side of the village.
The sun had set below the horizon, and the light in the village was dim, and when you entered the room, it was darker and darker inside than outside.
Putting Guan Qing on the ground and letting her sit with her back against the wall, Liu Wei first closed the door, and then squatted in front of Guan Qing and asked her, "How is it?" Did you break your foot? ”
Guan Qing fell down earlier, and she tried her best to get up, but there was a heart-piercing pain in her ankle. However, at that time, she did not consider that her ankle would hurt, and after Liu Wei asked this, she remembered to take a closer look at her ankle.
In the dim light, Guan Qing's ankles were already swollen, and the bones and joints were like dough raised, rising high, and the skin on the surface was still slightly shiny.
"Don't move!" Seeing that Guan Qing's ankles were swollen, Liu Wei pressed his hands on her feet, rubbed them gently, raised his head to look at Guan Qing while rubbing them, and asked her, "Does it hurt to rub like this?" ”
The swollen ankle was gently rubbed by Liu Wei, although Liu Wei did not use much force, Guan Qing still felt a burst of severe pain. However, when Liu asked her if it hurt, she didn't say that it hurt, but gritted her teeth and shook her head slowly.
A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from outside the door, and several war horses stopped outside the house where Liu Wei and Guan Qing were hiding. The knight on horseback turned over and jumped off the horse, and the leading general of the Jizhou army clasped his fists with both hands and said to Liu Wei in the house: "The last general is Gongsun Xu, the son of the former general, and he heard that His Royal Highness was chased by the Yellow Turban thieves, so he specially led his troops and horses to come to the rescue. The end is too late, I beg your Highness to forgive your sins! ”
"General Gongsun has worked hard and made great achievements, what is the crime?" Squatting in front of Guan Qing, Liu Wei looked up at the door and shouted to Gongsun outside the house: "This king will stay in this small village today, the general's work has been completed, please lead the troops to leave first." In addition, General Gongsun did not forget to thank the former general on behalf of the king! ”
Liu Wei shouted like this, Gongsun Xu, who was standing outside the house, and the deputy general beside him glanced at each other, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he bowed to Liu Wei in the house with his fists and said: "Your Highness has no guards by his side, and his Highness will be left in a deserted village. The last general's camp is not far from the village, and he once again implores His Highness to go to the barracks with the last general to rest. ”
Squatting in the house, Liu Wei knew that if he didn't go out, he was afraid that Gongsun would never leave after guarding outside all night.
Looking at Guan Qing who was sitting with his back against the wall, Liu Wei sighed lightly and said to Guan Qing: "You have an injury on your foot, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue walking, for the sake of today, you can only go with this grandson!" ”
"If His Royal Highness goes out, I am afraid that Gongsun Xu will be ......" Guan Qing knew that Liu Wei was thinking about her before he proposed to go with Gongsun Xu, and hurriedly whispered to Liu Wei: "Your Highness only needs to stay until late at night, and leave alone while the Jizhou army outside the house is unprepared, and you can ...... alone."
"Nonsense!" Before Guan Qing's words were finished, Liu Wei said to her with a cold face: "Miss Guan went to Lu County to persuade Chang Xuan, although the credit was not successful, but it was also because this king was in danger, how could this king leave you?" If this is the case, how will this king face the heroes of the world in the future? ”
reprimanded Guan Qing, and seeing Guan Qing pursed his lips and lowered his head and stopped talking, Liu Biancai shouted to Gongsun outside the door: "General Gongsun, this king is not alone. and there is one man with the king. This king has a word today, if he goes with the general, I will live and die. Whenever the general or former general intends to separate the two of us, even if he fights for his life, this king will definitely make the Jizhou Gongsun family the target of public criticism! ”
When Liu Wei said this, Gongsun Xu, who was standing outside the house, was stunned.
If these words came from the mouths of other Han clans, he would definitely scoff at them and disdain them. But when this kind of words came out of Liu Wei's mouth, he didn't dare to underestimate it.
once fled Luoyang alone with Tang Ji, which had already made Liu Wei famous. Later, Liu Wei gathered the remnants of the Yellow Turban and the Tiger Prison Pass, and gradually strengthened his strength. With this courage, no ordinary Han clan can do it.
After bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Gongsun Xu glanced at the deputy general on the side, the deputy general nodded knowingly, and whispered to a cavalryman behind him: "Go and inform the former general that we have found King Hongnong." It's just that there is still one person next to King Hongnong, and he doesn't want to be separated for a moment, so please ask the former general to make a decision early! ”
"No!" The cavalry answered, turned and walked to the side of the warhorse, raised the whip, and galloped away towards the outside of the village.
Hearing the sound of the hooves of a war horse in the distance, Liu Wei in the house gently helped Guan Qing rub her sprained ankle, and whispered to her: "Miss Guan, don't worry, even if the two of us are captured by that Gongsun Zhan, as long as we live, there is still hope of escaping." ”
The ankle was grabbed by Liu Wei and gently rubbed, Guan Qing pursed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously.
When she first met Liu Wei in Woniu Mountain, she felt that this King Hongnong was different from other official gentlemen, but she never thought that when she sprained her foot, Liu Wei would personally help her rub her ankle and dredge her blood.
The light in the room was very dim, and looking at Liu Wei, Guan Qing had a feeling that his face was extremely clear. Especially when Liu Wei said that as long as Gongsun Zhan dared to separate the two of them, even if he fought for his life, he would definitely make Jizhou the target of public criticism, which made Guan Qing feel inexplicably sad in his heart.
On the shore of Jishui, Liu Wei rescued their brother and sister. She just wanted to persuade Chang Xuan and take credit for Liu Bian's position, so as to repay the favor, but she didn't expect that Liu Bian would be brought to such a catastrophic situation.
"Your Royal Highness......" looked at Liu Bian, Guan Qing's eyes welled up with tears, she gently bit her lip with her teeth, and said to Liu Bian with a face full of shame: "The little girl is incompetent, causing His Highness to fall into such a dangerous situation......"
"There will always be deaths when marching and fighting, and walking the world will not be smooth sailing after all!" Looking up at Guan Qing with tears in her eye sockets, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to her: "Miss Guan, don't blame yourself too much, before your foot injury heals, you will wronged the girl to live with this king!" ”
Guan Qing lowered her head and didn't answer, if it weren't for the dried blood stains on her face, she would have been blushing at this time.
"The last general will promise His Highness!" Seeing the cavalry who went to report to Gongsun Zhan rush out of the entrance of the village, and when the figure of the cavalry disappeared, Gongsun Xu clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei in the house: "Seeing that it is almost night, please go out early, I will wait to return to the barracks!" ”
Liu Wei didn't answer Gongsun Xu, just stood up, bent down and supported Guan Qing's back with one hand, and copied the other hand under the crook of her leg.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Liu Wei's actions startled Guan Qing, her eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Wei with a stunned expression and asked.
"My ankles are swollen like that, how do I walk?" With some strength in his arm, Liu Wei picked up Guan Qing and said to her, "This king will carry you out." ”
"I can't do it! His Royal Highness ......" was picked up by Liu Wei, Guan Qing suddenly panicked in his heart, and hurriedly refused.
Although she was born in a yellow scarf, she has never received etiquette, and even her temperament is a little arrogant and very bold, but she also knows some dignity and orderliness after all.
As the king of Hongnong, Liu Bianxuan condescended to pick her up, maybe it was nothing in Liu Bian's eyes, but in the eyes of others, Guan Qing had committed an unforgivable sin.
Guan Qing struggled to break free from Liu Bian's embrace, but Liu Bian hugged her tighter, lowered his voice and said to her: "Holding this king's neck, you are struggling so much, this king is very tired!" ”
When he said this, Liu Bian's tone was very stern, and Guan Qing, who was picked up by him, was stunned, and wanted to continue struggling, but for some reason, his arms unconsciously followed what Liu Bian said, and slowly wrapped around his neck.
The head was nestled on Liu Bian's shoulder, his hands were wrapped around his neck and he was hugged and walked out of the house, Guan Qing pursed his lips tightly, I don't know if it was because he was embarrassed to be held by a man like this for the first time, or because Liu Bian cared about her so much, her heart was inexplicably moved, two tears had slipped down her bloodstained cheeks and dripped on the shirt on Liu Bian's shoulder.
Holding Guan Qing, Liu Wei raised one foot and gently kicked the door open. When the door opened and he and Guan Qing appeared in front of Gongsun Xu and the others, Gongsun Xu and the others were startled by Liu Wei and Guan Qing, who were covered in blood.
Although the scout reported earlier, it had already been shown that Liu Wei and Guan Qing were covered in blood, but Gongsun Xu didn't think much about it at that time. At this moment, seeing Liu Wei and Guan Qing, whose heads were covered with blood stains all over their faces, and even their clothes were dyed black and red, Gongsun Xu was taken aback.
"Your Highness...... This is......? Liu Bian, who was covered in blood, appeared at the door, Gongsun Xu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, held Liu Bian's arm with one hand, and asked him with great concern in his tone: "Why is it covered with blood?" ”
"Out of Lu County, I fought with the Yellow Turban thief!" Holding Guan Qing and walking towards a group of cavalry that Gongsun Xu brought into the village, Liu Wei said to Gongsun Xu on the side: "This king and Guan girl each killed one hundred and ten thieves, and the blood stains on their bodies are not the blood of the two of us. ”
"General Gongsun, please arrange a war horse for Miss Guan to ride!" After briefly explaining to Gongsun Xu the reason why his body was covered with blood, Liu Wei then said to him: "Miss Guan has injured her ankle and is no longer able to walk!" ”
