"No, Imperial Husband!"

Zuo Ying was afraid that her strength was not enough, and Lashina couldn't help it, and the whole person threw herself on him and hugged his body.

"If you get caught by them, you won't be able to live." Zuo Ying said in a low voice: "But for me, they will keep their mouths alive." I will wait for you to save me! ”

After Zuo Ying finished speaking, she didn't leave Ashina a second to object, and immediately got up and ran out.

He laid down his glory and dignity to save her life, and perhaps it was her turn to endure the humiliation in exchange for him! As long as she is caught, the purpose of the thieves will be achieved, and the search will be abandoned, and Ashina will be safe indefinitely.

She had thought that instead of being caught and humiliated by being captured, she should have one more lethal bullet on her body. But now the situation is different, whether it is Ashina's indefinite sacrifice or Scarlet Feather's sacrifice, she needs to live to prove the value of all this, if she dies, everything will be in vain. She already had an extra responsibility on her shoulders to keep herself alive no matter what.

She first ran stealthily around the blockade line, and after running a certain distance to make sure that they could not find her original hiding place when they appeared, she slowly walked towards the firelight, and shouted loudly, "No need to look for it, I am here." ”

The thieves wandering nearby soon discovered Zuo Ying and surrounded him. The fierce light that suddenly gathered around her was reflected by the knives and spears that were all directed at her at one time, so dazzling that she could barely open her eyes.

"Check it out." The leader took out a folded portrait from his arms and unfolded it, and immediately a thief stepped forward to cut Zuo Ying's hands behind his back, and raised her head for the general to see.

At the moment when Zuo Ying felt that someone had just touched her sleeve. A miserable scream suddenly came from behind him, followed by the reflection of the sharp blade, and the surrounding thieves suddenly fell into chaos!

Someone broke into the encirclement of the thieves and slashed wildly. Caught these people off guard. Before the thieves could fight, several of them had been cut down.

Zuo Ying could probably guess what was going on in her heart, but surrounded by sword-wielding thieves, she had no place to hide.

A thief stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Ying's arm with one hand to kidnap her. Zuo Ying instinctively broke free backwards, and when she just saw the man's facial features clearly, she saw almost simultaneously that the hand holding her arm separated from the person's body in an instant, and fell to the ground bloody! The person who tried to catch her screamed and fell to the ground, and the blood gushing from the broken arm splattered Zuo Ying's body!

"Let's go!" Another powerful arm in the sword light and sword shadow grabbed Zuo Ying's elbow, pulled her out of the encirclement, and quickly ran away from the crowd.

It was Ashina Wuji who broke into the encirclement and rescued Zuo Ying. She had no time to question him why he hadn't gone as planned. The surrounding thieves who had been wandering nearby also discovered the situation at this time, and all of them rushed towards them, and the fires scattered all over the mountains and fields gathered at them from all directions like ants.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zuo Ying and Ashina, who were rushing wildly, heard a fatal command behind them. Immediately afterwards, a cluster of arrows flew over with a "whoosh" and brushed Zuo Ying's bun! It seems that the thieves who were attacked were so angry that they couldn't care about whether they were alive or not!

Ashina hurriedly pulled Zuo Ying to dodge behind a big tree. Using the trunk of the tree as a cover, he would not be immediately hit by the cluster of arrows, but he could see countless arrows flying by. There were also a lot of "poof, poof" pokes into the trunk of the tree where they were hiding, and the two of them could no longer continue under such a rain of arrows.

After a moment, Zuo Ying seemed to feel that there were far fewer clusters of arrows flying over. She ventured out to look behind her, only to see the thieves quietly surrounding her. It seems that he knew that they could not escape, and for the bounty of the thousand gold, he started the idea of capturing the "faint king" alive. [~]

Zuo Ying grabbed Ashina's indefinite hand with one hand and signaled him to prepare, then raised the silver fire, turned around and fired two shots in succession at the back, the two thieves who caught up first fell to the ground one after another, and the others also slowed down in surprise and fear.

"Let's go!"

The two took the opportunity to continue running. Although I was already tired and even weak, I was not able to do so until the facts were declared. Neither of them was going to give up easily.

This time, however, they escaped shorter than any other. After only a few steps, there was a sound of armor moving in the darkness ahead.

"There are thieves up ahead, too!" Ashina held the knife tightly with both hands, but even if he opened his eyes wide, he couldn't see the situation in front clearly, and he could only feel by hearing that there were many people approaching in their direction, and the distance was no more than twenty meters. And the encirclement behind them was only ten meters away from them.

"With us Turks." Ashina, who was still panting, curled the corners of his lips and said to Zuo Ying: "If the khan is captured by the enemy, it will be a shame worse than death. What about you? ”

It was for this reason that he was unwilling to let Zuo Ying exchange something more important than his life for his An

Whole!

Zuo Ying smiled, "So are we." ”

She told Ashina that she was not afraid.

"Haha, happy!" Ashina turned around indefinitely and waved through the sky, and the hot light swept across the night sky, "Then I'll bring more people to follow us on the road, and it won't be boring to fight and kill on the road!" ”

Just as Ashina raised his knife and stabbed at the thieves who rushed up with torches, Zuo Ying saw a cluster of arrows suddenly fly out of the darkness and shoot in their direction!

"Imperial Husband! Get down! Zuo Ying just wanted to turn around and run to Ashina to remind him indefinitely, when he suddenly saw a tall figure rushing out in the dark, and without saying anything, he opened his arms to hold her, and then fell to the ground.

Zuo Ying was hidden in a pile of weeds more than a foot high under the man, unable to move or see anything, only the "whoosh" sound of arrows cutting through the air and the scream of a ghost crying wolf from the opposite side.

After a while, the person who was pressing on Zuo Ying got up from the ground and shouted "Kill!" Then he heard a shout and the sound of killing. I don't know how many soldiers in armor have run past them.

"Imperial Husband!" As soon as Zuo Ying was able to move, she struggled to get up and looked at the place where Ashina was standing just now. I saw that Ashina Wuji was also getting up from the ground at this time, and it seemed that there was no big problem.

Zuo Ying was hugged by the person behind her, and was finally able to sit up straight. She looked back suddenly, and saw that the man was wearing a black robe and gold armor, and his figure was tall and tall. His sword eyebrows are flying obliquely, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, the bridge of his nose is high, and his black onyx-like eyes are deep and sharp!

She was so stunned that she cried out, "Helan Chu? ”

Helan Chu knelt on the ground, he looked at Zuo Ying, and saw her tattered and unkempt appearance, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, "Your Majesty...... The minister's rescue came late, and His Majesty suffered. As he spoke, he took off his cloak and draped it on Zuo Ying.

At this time, Ashina Wuji also came up, and when he recognized Helan Chulai, he glared in amazement and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Helan Chu lowered his head and tied Zuo Ying's cloak, and said in a calm voice as always: "Back to Your Majesty, the Imperial Husband, after the minister learned the news that His Majesty was trapped in Ziyang City, he immediately mobilized his troops and marched here day and night. In the middle of the way, they had already heard the news of the fall of Ziyang and the disappearance of His Majesty, and the ministers were very anxious. As soon as we arrived outside Beiqiu City yesterday, and the camp was still under construction, there was a report from the detailed work, saying that the vanguard of the thieves attacking Beiqiu had set off. They did not know the speed of our army's march, and wanted to fish in troubled waters and go to the next city before our army arrived. So tonight, the minister personally led the surprise attack troops, came to the area of Xiling and planned to sneak close to the enemy camp, and the thieves were caught off guard. ”

Helan Chu raised his slightly chipped head and looked at Zuo Ying.

Zuo Ying unexpectedly found a hint of relief in his eyes that could not be concealed.

She imagined the scene when the reinforcements arrived countless times and what it would take for the reinforcements to arrive in time to relieve the siege, but she never imagined that the moment of realization would be like this - Helan Chu personally led the troops on a rapid march of thousands of miles, and it took about seven days to complete the journey that even the cavalry would take ten days to complete at the earliest, and dramatically rescued her and Ashina from the enemy at the last moment.

She looked at Helan Chu's face in front of her, and couldn't help but feel an unbelievable strangeness. But almost at the same time as this strangeness came a kind of involuntary reassurance. Although she couldn't figure out why he had given up such a golden opportunity to wait for her to be destroyed, she knew very well that he wouldn't be here if he were to do her a disadvantage; And as long as this person comes, everything will be settled.

"Aiqing, with you, I will feel at ease."

"Your Majesty," Helan Chu knelt down again and said, "Please leave everything to the minister." ”

The 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Helan Chu set up camp in a place called "Niujiaowan" fifty miles outside Beiqiu City. The military camp was divided into three parts: the middle battalion, the southern battalion, and the northern battalion, which were entrenched in the nearby key passes and on the avenues, forming horns with each other to deal with the enemy's situation.

Last night's surprise attack on the enemy's army, although it was not possible to unknowingly damage the enemy camp as planned because of the encounter with the thieves on the mountain road, it was also a victory in the first battle, which was enough to boost morale. Moreover, the once missing empress and imperial husband also appeared in the camp, and the news that he personally led the three armies from then on was a piece of good news that inspired the three armies. Until noon that day, the soldiers gathered around for dinner were still talking about last night's actions.
