Chapter VIII
I was sleeping soundly that night, and Adu suddenly woke me up. She holds a knife in one hand,
I saw the light in her eyes in the dark, and I quickly got up and asked in a low voice, "It's Lee."
The people of Chengyin caught up? ”
Adu shook his head. I don't know if she didn't know, or if she didn't guess.
We waited quietly in the night, and suddenly we heard a soft sound of "snort",
If you don't pay attention, you won't hear at all. I saw a thin bamboo pipe pierce the window paper and stretched in
Come. Adu and I looked at each other, and white smoke suddenly came out of the thin bamboo tube, and I smelled it
When I got to the smell, I felt that my hands and feet were soft, and I couldn't stand anymore, and the white smoke that blew in was blowing in
It turned out to be a fragrance. Adu took a step forward, blocked the bamboo pipe with his thumb, pinched the pipe, and slammed
Then poke it outward.
I only heard a low shout, and there was a "bang" outside, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground. I was dizzy
Dazzled, Adu opened the window, the fresh wind made me sober up a little, and she fed me some more
water, I felt that the medicinal power of the incense was gradually dissipating. Adu opened the door and fell down the hallway
There was a person, it turned out to be the Korean man who led the team, and he was poked by the incense tube
The cave now sits there with its mouth wide open. Adu took out a knife and rested it on his neck, and then
Look at me.
Fearing that there would be something else hidden, I said to Adu: "Drag him in, and we will try him first."
Examine. ”
Adu dragged him in and closed the door again. I kicked the man and asked:
"Who the hell are you?"
The man was very stubborn: "If you want to kill, you will kill, the husband walks the rivers and lakes, since he misses,
Why bother asking. ”
"Oh, it turns out that using incense is a big husband?"
But there was no guilt on the man's face, and he said loudly: "In order to win, don't choose a hand."
Segment! ”
I said, "Now you're losing!" ”
Before the man was about to pout, Adu lightly cut his leg, and immediately bled like blood
Concentrate. He screamed like a pig, and he would say anything he asked. It turns out this Goryeo
When people saw that we were generous, they became more and more red-eyed, so they started to kill people and rob money, because they wanted to use it
The incense fascinated me and Adu, but I didn't expect to be poked by Adu just after blowing into the incense
Acupuncture.
"It turned out to be a robber pretending to be a businessman!" I kicked him again, "Quick."
Say! How many people have you harmed? ”
The man burst into tears and begged for mercy, saying that he was really a legitimate businessman, but only for a while
I was greedy, that's why I'm so confused. I have never harmed anyone before, and I still have it at home
A seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old son...
Is everyone so insatiable? This Korean wants more money
Cai, officials want to be bigger officials, and the emperor always wants a bigger territory. So
The war never ends.
There is never a time to be satisfied.
I thought of Li Chengyin again, the little prince, after all, step by step, he came to it
Today. His father tempted him with the throne, and he came to this day step by step.
And I, in fact, just want someone to accompany me in Xiliang, herding horses and shepherding sheep.
Such a simple desire, but there is no way to achieve it.
Adu gently struck the Koryo man on the head with the hilt of his knife, and he fainted with a tilt of his head
Finish. Adu and I tied him under the table and gagged him. Adu gestured and asked me if I wanted to kill him, and I shook my head: "This person didn't dare to report to the official when he woke up, after all."
He will first seek wealth and kill him. Just tie him up here, we can't go with them all the way
It's just going west. ”
We were afraid of revealing our tracks, so we left the inn before dawn. Rode for a long time,
The sun came out, and in the afternoon he sold his horse and bought another cow at a fair
In the car, Adu and I disguised ourselves as peasants and peasant women, and slowly headed west.
Naturally, there are still chasing soldiers, and many times the brigade catches up from behind.
We are such a dilapidated ox cart, they don't even look at it, and they pass by like a lightning speed
Finish. Every time we went to the city, we checked it more strictly, but sometimes Adu and I didn't enter at all
City, which goes around the country road. It's naturally very hard to walk all the way, and I don't know how to go
After a long time, I finally came to the Jade Gate Pass.
Seeing the majestic pass between the two mountains, I finally cheered up.
As long as it is out of the customs, it will be the boundary of the countries of the Western Regions, even if Li Chengyin is now
The emperor, if he insists on sending chasing soldiers out of the customs, he is afraid that it will also make the countries of the Western Regions in an uproar, thinking
He is going to declare war, and when the time comes, it will not be so easy to really fight. Because of this
At this time, a sea fishing notice was also posted in Yumen Pass, and Adu and I pretended to be men
It's painted on it, but the name isn't one of us.
To be honest, the painting is really similar, Li Chengyin has only seen me wear men's clothes once, and it is difficult
For him, he can also command people to draw.
But now Adu and I are both women's clothes, and the Jiangyang thief wanted on the sea fishing notice can be
It's a man, so Adu and I are in the queue to pass the level. It's just that we haven't
How to get out of the customs is a difficult matter.
I'm not nervous, I have a lot of gold and silver in my bag, Adu's martial arts are outstanding, and I really met something
What's the matter, let's fight first, and if we can't win, we'll buy it with money.
I didn't expect that this time we could neither win nor be able to buy.
I looked at the general who was closed.
Pei Zhao.
I think Li Chengyin is really cunning, I just went around the whole world and went around in circles with him, and I still had to go out of the Yumen before I could go back to Xiliang. Now he sent Pei Zhao to guard the Jade Gate
Guan, check one by one, even if Adu is a martial artist, trying to break through, this jade gate passes
There is an army of tens of thousands of people stationed all year round, and if it really starts, it will alarm the army, and Adu and I are only afraid
You can't fly out with wings.
I smiled at Pei Zhao, and Pei Zhao smiled at me.
I said, "General Pei, why are you here?" ”
Pei Zhao said: "The last general was sent by His Highness to hunt down fugitives here. ”
I even laughed: "General Pei is General Jinwu, who commands the East Palace
Three thousand Yulin, I don't know what kind of fugitive, actually alarmed the general, and chased him all the way to Yumen Pass
Come. ”
Pei Zhao remained silent and said lightly: "Naturally, it is a key offense." ”
I laughed twice: "I want to commit a crime..."
Adu moved slightly, and after the pheasant moat above the pass, countless armor appeared.
They drew their longbows and pointed their feathered arrows at us in silence.
I sighed and said to Pei Zhao, "Anyway, I'm going to get out of the customs today anyway."
Go, if you try to stop me, shoot me to death under the closed door, anyway
You've done it more than once. ”
Pei Zhao said: "The crown princess misunderstands His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness treats the crown princess, which is really one."
Piece of infatuation. ”
I said, "What is not infatuation, I will break off with him, you don't need to be in me anymore."
Face to face him. ”
Pei Zhao said: "The fire at Chengtianmen is not a light candle running water. ”
I was slightly startled.
"Shangyuan all the people rejoiced, there is really no way to close the city gate, His Royal Highness is worried,
Fearing that the assassins would take the crown princess out of the city, it would be difficult to pursue him, so he ruthlessly ordered and ordered someone to secret
set fire to the Chengtian Gate and burned it. Pei Zhao's tone was still light, "Your Highness is for the sake of Tai."
The princess can do such a thing, why can't the crown princess forgive His Royal Highness. ”
The news shocked me so much that I couldn't speak for a long time. Chengtianmen is a symbol of imperial power, since the Chengtianmen fire, there have been many discussions in the court, and the emperor has also made a crime for this
edict, take the responsibility for immorality on yourself. I never dreamed that it wasn't even
However, the fire turned out to be set on fire by Li Chengyin.
Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness, as a prince, has all kinds of unavoidable things. Shoot the stab that day
Guest, accidentally injured Miss Adu, it is the last general who insists on going his own way, and if the princess wants to see the crime, the last general
Naturally, the crown princess should not blame His Royal Highness for this. ”
I didn't have any scheming, but I wasn't stupid, and I said, "You don't have to stay here."
Lie to me. ”
Pei Zhao said: "The last general will not dare." ”
I said coldly: "What don't you dare, isn't it difficult to disobey the king's order?" No
He ordered, do you dare to mobilize the Yulin Army to encircle and annihilate? Without his order, you dare to ask someone to release arrows? you
I take all these things on myself, but I just want to persuade me to go back, and I will never go to you again
When. Pei Zhao, three years ago, I jumped on the Lethe River Cliff, and at that time I thought I was again
I won't see you. I've forgotten everything in the past three years, but you've probably never thought about it.
I would have thought about it all over again. I will never forgive those things that Li Chengyin did
Forgive him, if you don't let me out of the customs today, I will break in, and if you want to kill or kill you
Finish. ”
Pei Zhao looked at me with a shocked expression, he probably never dreamed that I would think of one
At the end of the day, he looked at me in a daze, as if he wanted to see through my whole body with his gaze
Target. I suddenly felt empty-hearted, this person is not ordinary loyal to Li Chengyin,
What the hell would he do today?
Pei Zhao was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "No." ”
I felt inexplicable: "What wouldn't?" ”
He raised his eyes to look at me: "The crown princess asked that day, if the assassin caught you,
Will the last general also order someone to shoot you and the Assassin to death with an arrow? The last general will now answer, no
Yes. ”
I suddenly understood, I gestured to Adu, Adu pulled out his knife,
It was around my neck. I said, "Switch!" ”
Pei Zhao said loudly: "The assassin is holding the crown princess hostage, don't hurt the princess by mistake, hurry up."
Switch. ”
The door was opened, and the heavy door had to be pushed by dozens of people.
The scorching sun outside shone straight in, white and shaking, and the sun burned on the person's body slightly
Hurt.
The sun outside the Jade Gate is so hot, I suppressed the ecstasy, and I was about to face the jade
Outside the door, he rode his horse and galloped.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him, and a group of cavalry was galloping towards him. greet
When I saw the dragon pattern embroidered on the flag, I didn't have time to think about it, wait and see
Closely, the dust from the horses' hooves slashed at my face, and I squinted at the team
The closer the people and horses galloped, they found that it was Li Chengyin who was the leader.
My heart sank.
Adu and I have already rushed to the gate.
I heard shouts from afar: "Shut the door!" Your Highness has an order! Shut the door! ”
The soldiers hurriedly began to push forward, trying to close the door.
Seeing the heavy closing door getting closer and closer, but the light in the middle is getting less and less, those
The man pushed the door desperately to close, getting narrower and closer, and there was only a crack in the horse
It's too late. Adu's horse was running ahead, and she turned back to me
I pulled her horse, but I raised my hand and whipped her horse hard, and the horse suffered
Pain, a long hiss, and finally jumped out of the door.
Closing the door and slowly closing, I saw Adu turn back to look at me in a panic, and she was circling around
The horse's head tried to rush back, but the heavy door was closed, and her knife was already there
Insert it in the door, but nothing will change it. The door was closed, and the bolt was lowered, me
Hearing her desperately trying to cut off the iron bolt, the futile slashing was only splashed
Sparks, she couldn't speak, she couldn't make any sound, and I watched the tip of the knife in the crack of the door
slashed in a mess, but every knife was actually in vain.
The Yulin army of the brigade had already rushed up, and I turned around and ran towards the pass, all the way to the castle tower. I crouched down on the top of the fortress and bent down to see Adu still there alone and thrashing
Hitting the city gate, such a solid Xiongguan, how can she shake half of it alone
Divide? I saw her grinning and crying silently, and I suddenly remembered that he had entrusted me
gave Adu, and didn't entrust Adu to me. If it weren't for me, Adu
Xu couldn't live anymore, just like if it weren't for Adu, I would have died a long time ago
Finish.
The Turks have been destroyed, Adu is a thousand times more miserable than me, and two hundred thousand people have died in the moon
The encirclement of the clan and the Central Plains, but with such a deep feud in the sea of blood, she is for me and accompanies me
Original three years.
So far, I'm sorry for her alone.
The Yulin army has rushed to the pass, and countless people are surrounding Li Chengyin and dismounting, I
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind them, they ascended the gate.
I didn't have any fear, I just stood there quietly.
Li Chengyin's neck is still tied with white yarn, in fact, if my knife is a little deeper,
Maybe he won't be able to stand here anymore.
He walked towards me alone, and with every step he took, I took a step back. I always have
Retreat until there is no way to retreat, until you retreat to the top of the pheasant. The west wind blows my garments
Hunting, as if it was on the top of Lethe that day. I'm standing on the edge of a cliff, while
Beneath my feet is an abyss shrouded in mist.
Li Chengyin looked at me with a deep gaze, and he finally said, "Aren't you like this?"
Would you rather be my wife? ”
I smiled at him and didn't answer.
He asked me, "That Gu Xiaowu, what's so good?" ”
My heels were already dangling, and only my toes were still standing on top of the battlements, crumbling.
The Yulin Army was very far away, staring at me in silence. And Li Chengyin's gaze has
The intricate pain seems to be forbearing, but it also seems to be sad.
It was as if I had a dream, and everything was the same as it was three years ago
degree, but after all, it has not changed at all.
