Zheng Qiaoqiao walked in and saw Du Qiu coming out of the house, she looked down and saw Du Qiu wearing a pair of extraordinarily delicate embroidered shoes on her feet, only to know that the person sitting behind the screen was her. .vo.

Zheng Qiaoqiao grabbed her: "Sister Zhongyang, what about the mother and the princess?" ”

Du Qiu said: "Niangniang expected that this Xuzhou City was not so stable, and she had already taken the princess out of the city." Let's quickly pack up the things here, and follow those guard brothers out of the city to make peace with Niangniang and Aunt Fennel. ”

Zheng Qiaoqiao hurriedly followed Du Qiu to pack up the things in the house and carry a small package on his back, only to find that a team of guards was waiting outside, and when he saw them, he clasped his hands into fists: "The envoy ordered me to escort the two girls out of the city." ”

"Envoy?" Zheng Qiaoqiao still didn't understand what they were called, and after being reminded by Du Qiu, he realized that he was talking about Guo Yuma.

The guards had brought out a horse for the two of them to ride, but neither of them could ride a horse, and the speed was not fast, so they had to take one of the two guards and ride out of the city.

Zheng Qiaoqiao saw that although the guard who took her didn't say anything, her face was full of disdain, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Isn't it that you can't ride a horse, don't the ladies in the army all ride in a carriage?" ”

The guard glanced at her and replied in a low and simple voice, "There are no female dependents in the Shence Army. ”

These criminal ministers and their families are slaves and maids, and of course they are not women. But Zheng Qiaoqiao didn't follow, and said: "Niangniang and Aunt Fennel are not female dependents? And with the princess ......"

Although Zheng Qiaoqiao couldn't see his expression, as soon as he talked about the noble concubine Niangniang, the guard immediately changed his tone full of eager admiration, and said: "Niangniang's riding skills are outstanding, how can it be the same if she has tamed the horses in the palace and can't take the fierce horses of the Western Regions for a year?" is the princess of Taihe, who can ride a horse alone at a young age! ”

Seeing that Zheng Qiaoqiao didn't speak, he said again: "Although Niangniang is not very martial, she personally entered the enemy camp and took down the rebels without a single soldier, this kind of resourcefulness and courage is better than ten generals!" Comparing her with her daughter's relatives, isn't it humiliating the mother's name? ”

Although Zheng Qiaoqiao knew that Li Jian was so embarrassed in this battle because of the credit of the noble concubine, and she had also heard of the reputation of the noble concubine, she was far from expecting that she already had such an influence in the army, so she hurriedly silenced.

After meeting with the concubine, in order to hurry overnight, the concubine really abandoned the carriage, directly changed into a set of strong clothes, and rode with the army.

The concubine personally took the princess to ride a horse, Fennel rode a horse alone with some belongings, and ordered two guards to take Du Qiu and Zheng Qiaoqiao.

Qiao Qiao saw that the concubine's posture of driving the horse was really very skillful, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she only silently grabbed the horse's mane.

After walking a short distance, there is a big mountain, and the mountain road does not seem to be easy to walk.

This side is different from Chang'an, although it is winter, the leaves are not completely exhausted, but more than half of them are evergreen shrubs, which look very dense.

At this time, the guard in front turned back and reported, and asked, "Envoy, this is a mountain road in front of you, which is very narrow, and can only allow one horse to pass alone, but do you want to continue to advance?" ”

Guo Yan asked, "How long is the mountain road?" ”

The guard said, "It's about three or four miles, it's not very steep, it's just narrow." ”

Guo Yan looked at Nian Yun beside him.

Nian Yun thought about it in his heart, at this time, they left Xuzhou City for only twenty or thirty miles, if they camped and left tomorrow, it would not be much different from being directly stationed outside the city.

She said: "Since there are only three or four miles of road, it is only a quarter of an hour's foot, so I will order dozens of people to clear the road in front of me, and then pass carefully." ”

The guards took the order, and Nianyun said to Guo Yan: "I thought that Hu Qifang was a character, but I didn't expect it to be a pustule." Not to mention what kind of attitude and feelings he has towards that Hu Thorn History, only for today's assassins, he can't control this Xuzhou. ”

In a short time, all those who opened the way ahead were ready, and the large army marched forward again.

The mountain road was indeed very narrow, and even if someone had been sent to clean it in front, it would only remove the branches and shrubs that were growing on the road, and other things that hindered walking. A group of infantry took the lead, Nian Yun and the others took prisoners and the families of the convicts, as well as some luggage and belongings in the middle, and the cavalry was cut off.

When he walked on the rugged mountain road, Nian Yun knew that this mountain road was indeed a little dangerous.

The mountain is not high, and the slope is not very steep, but because the mountain road is narrow, the line is too long, and if there are people in ambush in the mountain, it will be very bad for them.

At this time, the team was already halfway through, and it was very unfavorable to retreat, Nianyun told everyone to be careful, go over as soon as possible, and handed Luoluo to the guards behind him: "Take the princess to Gonggong Xue in the back." ”

A large part of the broken guards had a lot of work, this mountain was not big, and the soldiers who opened the road in front did not find it, so at most there would be an ambush of one or two hundred people. If there is really an ambush, he will definitely concentrate his firepower against her and Guo Yan.

After Luoluo was taken away by the guards, Nianyun said again: "Third brother, I'll go first, you stay away from me." If something really happens, you won't be hit by a single blow if you scatter it. ”

Guo Yan looked at her: "What's the difference?" You are the only most important person in this entire brigade, and I came out this time to protect you by His Majesty's secret order. Needless to say, no matter what happens, I will have to stay by your side. ”

Nian Yun had no choice but to continue walking with him.

About halfway through, he suddenly saw that the bushes about ten meters away from the road seemed to be moving, and Guo Yan was immediately alert: "Protect the concubine!" ”

Immediately, many black-clothed people jumped out of the bushes, holding knives in their hands, and without saying a word, they rushed up and slashed.

This path is narrow, so there are not many close guards around Nian Yun, and the long swords worn by the guards are a little unlucky. After fighting for a while, these guards gradually became a little invincible.

At this time, a man in black had gradually approached Nian Yun's side. Guo Yan was besieged by three men in black, and he couldn't pull away for a while.

The man in black was ruthless and deadly, and Nian Yun didn't know martial arts, so he had to keep dodging and hurrying.

The man in black approached more and more, slashing at Nianyun's left neck, Zheng Qiaoqiao was beside Nianyun, seeing that she couldn't dodge, she couldn't care about anything else, so she had to stand up and block it.

The knife fell heavily on her right shoulder, Rao is Nianyun had already dressed her in cowhide soft armor, the force of the knife still made her almost faint in pain, and blood seeped out of her shoulder.

Seeing that he didn't hurt Nianyun, the man in black didn't make up the knife on Zheng Qiaoqiao's body again, but stabbed Nianyun into Nianyun's heart with the tip of the knife again.

Nianyun couldn't avoid that knife, even she thought that her life was over, but when the tip of the knife touched her body, the sound of metal collision "ding" shook her body numb, and she took several steps back and didn't stabilize her figure, and suddenly sat on the ground, her chest was stuffy, and she almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, but it was not as sharp as expected.

She remembered that it was the heart shield that Guo Jun gave her! Since the heart goggles were handed over to her, she didn't forget to wear them when she wore civilian clothes on weekdays, how could she take them off at this time? It really saved her life!

The assassin obviously didn't expect that his body stagnated slightly, and it was at this moment that Guo Yan struggled to slash and kill a black-clothed man surrounding him, rushed out of the encirclement, and eliminated the assassin with a sword from behind.

At this time, Qixi in the back had already brought the guards to escort him, Du Qiu and Fennel originally each took a dagger and fought back to back against the enemy, but at this time, they were free and hurriedly came over to see the injuries of the concubine and Zheng Qiaoqiao.

The strength of the assassin was so great that Nian Yun's cowhide soft armor was pierced, and she took out the heart shield from her clothes, only to see that the bronze mirror was poked into a dent.

The soft armor on Zheng Qiaoqiao's body was also cut, but fortunately, the thick cowhide blocked it, and in the end it lost a lot of strength, and the wound on his shoulder was not too deep, although some bones were exposed, but it didn't really hurt the bones.

Fennel hurriedly took out the medicine to protect the heart and veins and clear blood from the package she was carrying and gave it to Nianyun, and then applied the gold sore medicine to Zheng Qiaoqiao, and initially treated the wound.

Seeing that the concubine was injured, the guards led by Qixi shot more and more fiercely, quickly eliminated those assassins, and quickly let the concubine and the injured Zheng Qiaoqiao get on the horse, Qixi personally led the horse, escorted them all the way across the mountain road, and arrived on the main road outside, where they met with the advance team.

Qixi hesitated, "Niangniang, but do you want to move on?" ”

Perhaps the assassination in Xuzhou City was just a pretense to force them to leave overnight. This mountain is the real killer move, even if she was prepared, she almost got hit, but fortunately, she deliberately sent Luoluo away at that time and didn't take it with her, otherwise she was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

But now that they've come here, I don't know if they have a backhand. The soldiers are fast, and in any case, they still have to quickly stay away from Xuzhou City to be truly safe. I have the impression that there is a flat road ahead, and they have these thousands of elite soldiers, and the other party will definitely not be able to turn over any demon moths.

Nianyun looked at Zheng Qiaoqiao and decisively ordered: "I'm fine, find someone who can ride steadily with Zheng Qiaoqiao, leave twenty people to deal with it, and the rest of the people will move forward at full speed!" ”

Guo Yan didn't worry about her, but knew that her decision was correct, so he said: "You better don't ride a horse by yourself, I'll take you." ”

Nianyun did not refuse, and let Guo Ju help her onto her horse, holding the reins in one hand and protecting her with the other, riding the horse forward in the moonlight.

She suffered the knife, and although there was no skin injury, her chest was still threaking. She relaxed and leaned into Guo Yan's arms.

Guo Yan felt her relaxation, the corners of his mouth pulled up a little smile, and gently hugged her waist.

When was the last time their siblings were so close? Probably when she was still Konoha, he remembered that time he went to Cuihua Mountain to pray for blessings, but it rained on the way.

Later, he hurried to pick her up with an umbrella, and he didn't care that his robe was splashed with mud.

At that time, she had already been drenched in soup and was protected by Li Yi in her arms. He suddenly felt a little annoyed, pulled her over from Li Yi's side, wrapped her in his robe, and carried her down the mountain with her wet.

At that time she was very thin and petite, and she did not feel the slightest difficulty in holding it. At this time, it seems to be slightly plump by two points, and there is more of a woman's charm, but wearing a strong suit, it is more heroic.

Guo Yan looked at the beautiful face in her arms, she was closing her eyes and recuperating, her face was calm and serene. More than a decade passed slowly, and she only became more unique to him.
