Chapter 33: The Chaser
Meng Yu put away her smile: "The four princes are enemies of the prince, that is, they are enemies of Mengfu and Meng Yu." Meng Yu is stupid, but today, she never dares to retreat. ”
Li Chengbian laughed, there were three points of ridicule and seven points of frustration in that laughter, and to this day, he no longer thinks about those obsessions.
When he was in the palace, he said that "people can't always indulge in feelings", and that was not for Li Chongzhao, he was telling himself.
He said: "The 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Wu Qing have now broken through the palace, and the soldiers are coming to the city, and the pattern has been decided."
Meng Yu looked at him with a smile: "The Four Princes are really so sure, is Wu Qing already a member of the Four Princes?"
Li Chengyan's smile froze on his face, and the long sword in his hand beeped, and the smile dazzled his eyes for a while.
Raindrops as thin as a cow's hair drifted on his face.
——
Xiaoli touched the rain on her face, only to find that the rain had become heavier.
She looked up at Li Chongzhao, only to find that his entire face was wet, and the rain ran down the ends of her hair and along the contours to her face.
The road was very bumpy, and Li Chongzhao took a small road, so it was particularly muddy.
His voice became small in the rain: "Is it cold?"
Xiao Li hugged him tightly, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "It's not cold."
It's not cold, even the heart is hot.
Out of the imperial city, this thousands of worlds are full of freedom, her happiness and a bright future are like this horse, running hard.
Perhaps riding like this, she was already content with half asleep in his arms.
As the rain became heavier, Xiao Li suggested: "There is an abandoned temple in front, let's go take shelter from the rain, it's been a long time."
Li Chongzhao followed her gaze and agreed.
After tying up the horses, they went to the temple, where they were able to shelter from the wind and rain despite their disrepair.
Li Chongzhao found some dry branches and firewood, simply started a fire, took off his soaked jacket, and set it on a wooden frame.
Xiao Li glanced at it and unconsciously looked away.
Li Chongzhao subconsciously asked, "Are your clothes wet?"
She tugged at the corner of her soaked clothes and whispered, "No."
Li Chongzhao couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her. He reached out and took a roasted and quick-drying undershirt, hastily draped it on his body, and walked outside the temple: "I'll just stand outside, and you will call me in after you bake the clothes." After that, he said softly, "Wearing wet clothes will cause you to get cold, and it will be very inconvenient to seek medical treatment along the way." ”
Xiao Li looked at his voice and shadow, the rain outside was very loud, and it was still very cold in early spring, and it was uncomfortable to leave the fire.
There was a warm feeling in her heart, she had never seen any gentlemen, maybe Li Chongzhao was such a person.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly.
Because of Li Chongzhao's protection, he just wet his robe, simply wrung out the rainwater, put it on the branches, and dried it after a while.
Wearing dry clothes on my body, I really feel alive in my heart.
She was about to speak, but she heard a hissing sound.
Xiao Li thought that she had misheard, and then pricked up her ears, as if she was an iron horse with thousands of horses.
She hurriedly stood up, and at the same time, Li Chongzhao outside also rushed in.
His underwear had been wet again by the wind and rain, and it was sticking to his body at the moment, and his hair was messy. He looked at Pear, and Pear's looked at him.
At that moment, they both saw a flash of despair in each other's eyes.
finale
Li Chongzhao pulled her by, extinguished the fire with his still half-wet coat, hurried outside the temple, and untied the reins on his horse.
He immediately pushed the little pear onto the horse, and sat down on the horse's back as soon as he leaped over, stretched out his hand and pulled the reins fiercely, and the horse neighed and went away like an arrow.
Only then did Xiao Li see clearly, it turned out that they were all chasing soldiers behind them.
But how can it be so fast?
It's only been less than three hours, and it stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case. They chose it late at night to prevent anyone from noticing. Originally, it was estimated that it would be morning at the earliest, and the little maid who was waiting for the washing could not see anyone, so he would send troops to search after looking for it back and forth.
Unless, someone told the truth?
She thought she was moving lightly, but was she still being seen?
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and the sound of thousands of drums hitting each other, Xiao Li was stunned, is this actually thousands of people?
How so?
She looked up, and Li Chongzhao's pale face appeared in front of her eyes.
He looked down at her, "We'll get away."
It was unrealistic, but she believed it.
At the end of the mountain, she realized that she sincerely wanted to leave with him.
How to stop thousands of troops with the power of one person? But she wanted to leave the filth with him.
The wind and rain swept down like a blade, and she put the whole person into his arms, tilted her head, and freed her hands to make a decision in the misty rain.
The few people in front of the pursuers only felt a chill in their necks, and when they noticed it again, they had already fallen straight down on their horses.
Someone in front fell, and the people behind were caught off guard by such a block, desperately pulling the rope but it was too late, and even the people and horses lost their center of gravity and fell forward.
The horse neighed in pain, but the people behind stepped directly on the corpse of the person in front of him and stepped on it mercilessly.
Xiaoli tried her best to do it, but it was just a drop in the bucket. For the first time in her life, she hated that her strength was so meager.
And the horse under them was already a little exhausted, and despite Li Chongzhao's constant urging with a whip, it could no longer run fast. Seeing that the two sides are getting closer and closer.
The pursuers suddenly split into two columns and drove side by side, and one of the pursuers, dressed in white soft armor and armed with bows and arrows, ran ahead.
Xiao Li's secret path is not good.
Sure enough, the arrow drew a trajectory from the rain curtain like a breaking wind, and even each arrow shone with cold light.
She cast a spell to deflect the arrows, but a few arrows still slashed past her shoulders.
Everywhere he passed, he immediately saw red.
One of the arrows got out of her range and shot at the horse's leg. The arrow was so powerful that it passed through half of the horse's leg alive.
Xiao Li only felt that the whole person lost her center of gravity, and rolled straight to the ground in the screams of the horse.
But in that one in ten million chance, she saw the person who shot the arrow, it was Shen Mu.
She didn't have time to think about his existence, and when she turned to look, Li Chongzhao also fell into the mud.
It turned out that he was not much better off than her. After a long time of riding the horse, the scabbed wound was cracked again, and the white clothes were red everywhere at this moment.
They lay in the mud, knowing each other that they couldn't escape.
Yu Da couldn't even see clearly, Li Chongzhao's hand grabbed her hand tightly, and at that moment, there was no language, but something warm flowed through her skin into her blood.
She helped Li Chongzhao up, regardless of how close the pursuers were or how loud the horses' hooves were.
