Seeing that the sharp long sword was about to pierce into the ribs of the knight on horseback, the Jizhou soldier who was squatting on the ground suddenly got up and shook the long sword in his hand.

As an arc of sword light swept by, a sharp long sword rested on Guan Qing's neck.

The cold and cold air of the long sword made Guan Qing feel goosebumps all over his body, and the long sword of the Jizhou soldier, who was about to stab the horseback, also stopped abruptly.

"Is it Miss Guanqing?" The long sword rested on Guan Qing's neck, and the Jizhou soldier holding the sword tilted his head to look at her cheek and asked her, "Where is Your Highness?" ”

"If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother talking!" The man's long sword had just been withdrawn, Guan Qing twisted his head and replied coldly.

"Miss Guan, do you still recognize the slave family?" Guan Qing just turned his head, and the Jizhou soldier on horseback who was almost pierced by her sword turned over and jumped off the warhorse, arched at her with both hands in fists, and said to her: "The slave family is the ...... that the girl and His Royal Highness saw in the song and dance workshop a few days ago."

"It's you slut!" It was none other than Dong Niang who had wanted to assassinate Guan Qing in the song and dance workshop, recognizing Dong Niang, Guan Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and despite the fact that there was still a person standing on the side, he raised his long sword and was about to stab at Dong Niang.

As soon as her long sword stabbed out, another person standing nearby hurriedly swung his sword at the blade of her sword. The two long swords touched each other, but there was no sound of gold and iron resonating, with the light blue sparks flashing with the friction of the sword blade, only the light sound of the two sword bodies rubbing "Zizi" was heard, and the long sword in Guan Qing's hand was stirred aside by the man.

"Don't misunderstand, girl!" Stirring up the long sword in Guan Qing's hand, another person hurriedly blocked in front of Dong Niang, clasped his fists and said to Guan Qing: "It's Deng Zhan down there, Dong Niang was bewitched by the thief that day, and she wanted to stab the girl, and she already knew it all in the down. It's just that now Dong Niang has already understood right from wrong, and she is willing to protect His Highness from here with her......"

"Clever words! There must be a conspiracy waiting for you! Without waiting for Deng Zhan to finish speaking, Guan Qing twisted his head to the side and never mentioned where Liu Wei was hiding.

Seeing Guan Qing like this, Deng Zhan was also depressed in his heart.

Previously, Liu Wei and Guan Qing fled from Yuyang, and he and Dong Niang heard the noise outside in the hut where they were hiding, and hurriedly went out to check. Knowing that it was Liu Wei who successfully escaped from the former general's mansion, the two immediately attacked the two Jizhou soldiers and changed into their armor.

Later, I heard that there was a commotion at the north gate, saying that someone was flying out of the city like a big bird. Deng Zhan, who knew a little bit about Liu Bian, immediately thought that it was Liu Bian who did this, and before the Jizhou cavalry went out of the city to catch up, he and Dong Niang took the war horse from the two lone cavalrymen and followed them out of the city.

After entering the woods, Deng Zhan expected that the Jizhou cavalry walking in front could not find Liu Bian, but Liu Bian and Guan Qing needed mounts, so they deliberately walked slower with Dong Niang, wanting to pretend to be a lone Jizhou soldier and lead Liu Bian to attack them, so as to recognize each other, but they didn't want to be taken advantage of by Guan Qing.

But what made Deng Zhan feel a little disappointed was that Guan Qing was the only one who attacked them, but there was no trace of Liu Wei.

Looking at Guan Qing with a resolute face, Deng Zhan sighed lightly and said to her: "Miss Guan walked with His Royal Highness, and it was also some days, so she should know that Your Highness values love and righteousness. If the two of us want to be unfavorable to His Highness, we only need to hold the girl in my hands, and His Highness will definitely come to the rescue. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced in the direction where the Jizhou cavalry had left, and then said to Guan Qing: "It's night right now, and it's inconvenient for Jizhou soldiers and horses to go out of the city in large numbers to search for the whereabouts of His Highness and the girl, once the morning dawns, ......."

When Deng Zhan said this, Guan Qing's body shook slightly, and his eyes also showed a little confusion. But she still closed her lips tightly, refusing to explain where Liu Wei was hiding.

Just when Deng Zhan wanted to continue to open the catheter, there was a sound of footsteps not far from them.

Hearing the footsteps, Deng Zhan grabbed Guan Qing's arm and pulled her towards the shadow of the tree on the side, and Dong Niang on the side also hurriedly followed and hid in the shadow of the tree.

As the servants jumped into the shadows of the trees, the sound of their footsteps suddenly stopped.

From the footsteps that came into their ears just now, Deng Zhan could hear that there was only one person walking over. Moreover, the man did not ride a horse, and walked very carefully.

"Maybe Your Highness......" Hiding behind the shadow of the tree, Deng Zhan turned his head and whispered to Dong Niang, who jumped into the dark with him: "You look at Miss Guan, there was already a misunderstanding earlier, but don't make more trouble." ”

"Clear!" Dong Niang answered, and said softly to Deng Zhan: "Big brother, just go, there is me here." ”

"Big brother ......" After listening to the conversation between the two, Guan Qing snorted coldly, repeated a sentence of Dong Niang's title to Deng Zhan, and twisted his head to the side.

The deep pit she and Liu Wei fell into was two or three people high, and there was nothing else in the pit except for some dead branches and fallen leaves, and in her opinion, it was impossible for Liu Wei to climb out of the pit with his own strength.

After explaining to Dong Niang, and glancing at Guan Qing very helplessly, Deng Zhan first took advantage of Guan Qing's unpreparedness to snatch the long sword from her hand, and threw the long sword far away, making it **** on the ground in the distance, and then jumped out of the darkness and jumped in the direction of the footsteps just now.

"Since it's in your hands, why don't you just do it?" As soon as Deng Zhan left, Guan Qing squinted at Dong Niang on the side, and said to her coldly: "This girl is in front of you today, if you want to kill or chop, you can do whatever you want!" ”

Listening to what Guan Qing said, Dong Niang's face showed a touch of embarrassment, her lips moved, and she said to Guan Qing: "The girl is serious, the slave family assassinated the girl that day, it was Gongsun Zhan's secret order, and the slave family is an assassin, and he can't help himself. When His Royal Highness took down the slave family, Gongsun Zhan tried to kill people and kill his mouth, but fortunately, Deng Zhan's eldest brother went to the prison to rescue, so that the slave family saved his life......"

When Deng Zhan was mentioned, Dong Niang's cheeks were inexplicably flushed, and her face was a little more shy.

Turning her head to look at Dong Niang with a shy face, Guan Qing furrowed her brows slightly, lowered her voice, and asked her: "Since you have escaped, why did you two come here?" ”

"Brother Deng Zhan said that he owed His Highness a favor that day, and he deliberately followed His Highness from Hedong to Yuyang, just to repay this favor!" When Deng Zhan was mentioned again, Dong Niang's cheeks became redder and redder, and when she spoke, her voice was so low that Guan Qing could hardly hear it.

Just when Guan Qing looked at Dong Niang with a puzzled expression, not knowing whether what she said was true or false, a gentle footstep came into her ears.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Dong Niang hurriedly blocked in front of Guan Qing with her sword, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the footsteps came.

Standing behind Dong Niang, Guan Qing, who was thrown away by Deng Zhan with the long sword, clenched her fists tightly, and just as she wanted to suddenly attack Dong Niang from behind, a familiar voice came into her ears.

"the girl!" Walking towards Guan Qing and Dong Niang side by side with Deng Zhan, it was Liu Bi, who saw Guan Qing from a distance, he shouted in a low voice, then sped up his pace and trotted in front of Guan Qing.

"Your Highness, how did you ......?" Seeing Liu Wei suddenly appear in front of him, Guan Qing opened his eyes and asked him with a stunned expression, "How can I leave from there?" ”

"It's just a dirt pit!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Guan Qing: "Use a long sword to dig a few small pits on the cave wall, and if you can have a place to step on, you can climb out." It's just that when you were also in the cave, this king didn't think of this solution. ”

"Ugh!" When Liu Wei said this, Guan Qing was stunned at first, and when she saw Deng Zhan who came over with Liu Wei, she hurriedly turned sideways in front of Liu Bi, opened her arms and stared at Deng Zhan with round eyes: "If it is not good for His Highness, and step on the corpse of this girl!" ”

"It doesn't have to be this way!" Guan Qinggang stood in front of Liu Bian, Liu Bian, who was standing behind him, and Deng Zhan, who was walking towards them, smiled at each other, patted her shoulder lightly from behind, and said to her: "Mr. Deng is an old friend of this king, and he came here to rescue this king. ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Guan Qing looked at Deng Zhan's eyes and softened a little, arched his fist at Deng Zhan, and said softly: "Since it is an old friend of His Royal Highness, presumably Your Excellency should not be under the command of Gongsun Zhan." ”

"Although he is not talented, he will not vote for that Gongsun Zhan!" Deng Zhan smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Guan Qing, gave her a salute back, and then walked to the long sword that he had thrown into the distance before, pulled the long sword up, returned to Guan Qing, pinched the blade of the sword with two fingers, and handed the long sword back to her, and then said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, there are no less than 1,000 Jizhou troops who have entered the forest to search, and when it is dawn, this forest will definitely be turned upside down, and we must leave immediately." ”

"That's what the gentleman said!" Liu Wei nodded, turned his head to look at the two horses not far away, and said to Deng Zhan: "Two big men riding on the same horse I am afraid that the mount can't afford to run for a long time, in order to ensure that I don't lose it, I can't take care of many courtesies, this king and the girl Guan ride together, Mr. deigns, ride with that girl, how about it?" ”

Hearing that she was going to ride with Deng Zhan, Dong Niang lowered her head shyly, and her face was already red to the base of her neck.

"Wronged Dong Niang!" Dong Niang bowed her head and stood aside, Deng Zhan turned around and arched his hand at her, and said to her: "What His Highness said is extremely true, men have heavy bones, if I ride with His Highness, I am afraid that the mount will not be able to bear it, and I will be wronged by Dong Niang today!" ”

As he spoke, Deng Zhan had already walked to the two healthy horses, and when he arrived beside the healthy horses, he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and Guan Qing and said, "Please get on the horse with Your Highness and Miss Guan!" ”

followed Liu Bian, from Lu County all the way to Yuyang, and along the way, Guan Qing had long been accustomed to physical close contact with Liu Bian.

Knowing that he was going to share the same war horse with Liu Wei, Guan Qing did not show a particularly shy appearance like Dong Niang, but walked to the side of the war horse generously.

Liu Wei first held Guan Qing's waist with both hands and pulled her onto the horse, Guan Qing, who had already ridden on the horse, turned sideways and stretched out a hand to Liu Wei and pulled him up.

Snuggled up to Guan Qing in his arms, Liu Wei held the reins in both hands, and turned his head to look at Deng Zhan and Dong Niang, who had not yet got on the horse.

Although when he met Deng Zhan, he had learned from him why Dong Niang was following him, but when Liu Wei looked at Dong Niang, he still felt that she was a little weird.

Just as Liu Wei helped Guan Qing get on the horse, Deng Zhan also pinched Dong Niang's waist with both hands and pulled her towards the horse.

The delicate waist was pinched by Deng Zhan in his hands, Dong Niang's body trembled slightly, and she was helped onto the war horse, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, looking down at Deng Zhan who was about to get on the horse, and her eyes also revealed a little tenderness.
