Fu Yi stretched out his hand to bring Han Song to his horse, and Han Song smelled the choking smell of fireworks above the smell of blood, only to realize that his light-colored armor was brown and black by the flames. Han Zhi held Mr. Cheng hostage, and the group walked out of the city along the path made in the jungle of shining guns and halberds.

As he walked past Zhang Yi's side, the long lance in his hand cast a thick black shadow on the horse's back, and the sharp shadow fell in front of Fu Yi's horse and slashed across Han Song's shoulder and neck. Even this phantom seemed to contain a lot of pressure, which made her feel excited. She glanced back at Zhang Mu, the silent general's face still in the shadows. The horse neighed away, leaving Zhang Mian behind in an instant. But the shadow of the lance and face remained in her mind, leaving a chill on the back of her neck.

The wilderness was cold and windy, and the road was hidden in the grass, mud and snow. The crowd walked slower and slower. Han Song knew at first that the reddened corner of the canopy must be Liang Cheng in the north. But as the red light disappeared into the sky, I felt that there were wild grass in all directions, and I couldn't see any difference. The road became more and more rugged, and she couldn't help but look at Fu Yi's face through the dim moonlight, wondering if he was also disoriented. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I saw a few lights in front of me, as if I was close to a village. But instead of entering the main road, the people went on a detour.

Mr. Cheng on the side said: "Fu Jun wants to go east, and I don't think it's wise to go down. ”

Mr. Cheng sat on Han Zhi's horse, alongside Fu Yi. His voice was a little muffled in the bumps, but it was still clear. Fu Yi listened and ignored him. Mr. Cheng continued: "I think Fu Jun wants to leave Changhuai from Danyan and escape along the waterway to the southeast border, so that he can eliminate the traces and go to Yuzhou to join Liu Zongyuan. If this road is taken for granted in normal times, it is not feasible in today's situation.

"In winter, the stream froze, and it was a two-day journey to the river crossing. You don't have spare horses, even if General Zhang keeps his word, he won't catch up until after dawn, and he may not be able to catch up. It was the first to arrive at the ferry, and the news that General Zhang had captured Liangcheng had spread, and everyone was a remnant soldier at a glance, so where was it easy to find a boat. If I were Fu Jun, I would have scattered these dozen people, changed their names, hid in Jingzhou, and waited for an opportunity to go south. ”

Fu Yi said without looking back: "Does Mr. Cheng want to say that I crossed the river?" ”

Mr. Cheng said: "It is indispensable to cross the river to invest in Peng Shuangmu and to the west to even keep righteousness." Liu Zongyuan is greedy for small profits, and he may not value Ling Zun's friendship. The overall situation of the Central Plains has been decided, why should Fu Jun be cocooned and bound himself. ”

Fu Yi said coldly: "You know again-"

Han Zhi sat behind Mr. Cheng and interrupted in a low voice at this time, "Zhong Ming." ”

Fu Yi no longer refuted. He originally had a mockery on his face, glanced at Mr. Cheng, and suddenly stared at him, and said, "Don't move!" ”

When he spoke, everyone stopped. Han Song heard the sonorous sound overlapping, and it was the cavalry who drew their weapons one after another. Fu Yi grabbed a crossbow machine from the hands of a cavalryman, pointed at Mr. Cheng, and shouted, "Get off the horse!" ”

Han Song didn't know what was going on, she looked at Mr. Cheng's innocent face, as if she didn't know anything, and when she looked back, she was suddenly shocked: Han Zhiben was holding Mr. Cheng hostage and sitting behind him. At this time, his face was very pale and he looked crumbling.

Fu Yi stepped forward and put him off the horse. Han Zhi let out a breath, sat down on the ground, and ripped off her sleeves. In the faint light of the fire, I saw several black holes on the back of his right hand, black lines spreading upward, and the entire forearm was swollen and turned a terrible blue and purple.

Fu Yi was stunned and said, "When was this injury?" ”

Everyone was in a hurry and helped Han Zhi to a flat place on the side of the road. The two strangled Han Zhi's upper arm with a cloth, and one lit a torch. Fu Yi took the blade of his sword and approached the flame heart, and he slashed along the back of Han Zhi's hand and several wounds on his arm, and black blood burst out from between the open flesh and skin. Han Zhi held her joints, her teeth clenched, and her eyebrows were beating.

Han Song glanced at it and didn't dare to look at it again. She suddenly remembered that when Han Zhi held Mr. Cheng hostage, the latter had thrown a short sword at Han Zhi, but at that time, Han Zhi shattered the blade and did not seem to be affected. Let's go back and see where Mr. Cheng is. But seeing that his tall and thin figure had retreated out of the crowd, facing the village not far away, thoughtfully, it seemed that he was about to go out.

Han Song saw the crossbow machine falling from the side of the road at a glance, and pounced on it to grab it. She didn't know how to use it for a while. In desperation, he grabbed another stone and threw it at Mr. Cheng.

The stone was drawn in front of Mr. Cheng and smashed at his feet, causing him to pause. He turned around and saw Han Song facing him with a crossbow machine. His eyes widened slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

The crossbow machine was made of copper, and it also required a lot of force to pull it, making Han Song's slender fingers painful. She didn't dare to relax and glared at each other with all her might. Mr. Cheng came back to his senses and smiled at her. He has handsome eyebrows and an indifferent temperament, and he looks very elegant in this embarrassing situation. Han Song already knew that he was really a deep and cold person, and when he saw him looking directly at him with a smile in his eyes, he felt a sudden awe, and he almost stepped back.

Fortunately, two knights arrived at this time, and they fought Mr. Cheng. Mr. Na Cheng walked up to her, passed her leisurely, and did not look at her again.

She turned her head to follow, and saw that under the firelight, Han Zhi's arm was dripping with black blood, flowing all over the ground, the skin and flesh were cut and rough and glued, and it was very hideous to look at. But the swelling did not subside, and instead of receding, the blue-black color in the veins spread upward.

Fu Yi knelt beside Han Zhi and said with annoyance: "If it is discovered early, there may be something antidote in Zhang Yijun......

Han Zhi's face turned pale, and she said flatly: "There is an antidote, what do you exchange it for?" ”

His gaze fell on Han Song's face and touched it. Han Song suddenly understood, I was afraid that Han Zhi would have known that he had been poisoned, and he was just forcibly supporting everyone in order to make everyone leave smoothly. Fu Yi must also understand this section, and his face was very ugly. When the two of them said this, they were silent when they saw Mr. Cheng coming. The atmosphere in the silence was very terrifying, and when there was a loud bang, it was Fu Yi who lifted Han Zhi's long sword.

Seeing this, Mr. Cheng sighed: "Fu Jun is a moral person, and he will definitely not break the contract and kill me." ”

Fu Yi said coldly: "The one who has an appointment with General Zhang is this Han Senjun. If he died, who would be able to fulfill General Zhang's offer? ”

Mr. Cheng smiled bitterly: "Cheng Moujie is a scribe, the short sword is poisonous, but it is just for self-defense. It's Han Senjun who wants to come and get me. Whether he hits or doesn't hit, I don't know. Seeing him come and go freely, I still admire him very much. How can you blame my head? ”

Fu Yi said: "You carry a highly toxic poison with you, but there is no antidote?" ”

Mr. Cheng said: "How many venoms have Fu Jun heard in his life that there is really a way to crack it?" It's all just a rumor. If you can't find a doctor who can scrape your bones and heal your wounds, you can only survive with a broken arm, so as not to poison your henchmen. After that, if you cultivate well, you may be able to save your life. ”

When he said this, everyone looked at him with resentment. He turned a blind eye, his face was calm, and he only looked at Fu Yi. Fu Yi didn't look at him, lowered his head and was silent. He stared at the black blood on the sword for a moment, then sheathed it and walked into the middle of the crowd. Facing the cavalry, Zhengse said: "Fu Yi originally wanted to cross east with everyone, no matter how many obstacles there were, they would bear it together. But looking at the current situation, we have to act separately. Fu Yi brought Zhujun to this dangerous place, because he couldn't recognize people, he fell into a trap, and his brothers died in vain. I want to go back with everyone, but I can't do it after all. It is easy to fail the kings, and I am very ashamed. ”

He leaned down deeply and saluted the cavalry.

All the knights returned the salute solemnly, and several people said: "Don't worry, the little general, I can also go east while escorting Han to join the army." Go to General Liu's place to find a good doctor again. ”

Fu Yi shook his head and said, "This matter can't afford to be delayed. I want to go to Danyan County to seek medical treatment. The more people you follow, the easier it is to be noticed. I only hope that all the monarchs will cherish each other, leave the country quickly, and don't waste the grace of Han's rescue from joining the army. ”

When the cavalrymen heard him say this, they mounted their horses. Another person pointed at Mr. Cheng and said, "Do you really let this thief go?" ”

Fu Yi turned to Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Cheng didn't wait for him to speak, and said first: "I was let go by Jun on Chengnan Road, waiting for reinforcements until dawn, and I don't know anything else." ”

Fu Yi glanced at him and said, "Since this is the case, I will believe you." "Ordered the cavalry to take Mr. Cheng to the official road and let him go.

When Mr. Cheng heard him say this, he showed a little surprise and said, "Do you believe Fu Jun?" ”

Fu Yi said: "After all, you can't break Ziyuan's promise." If I don't believe, it will only increase my troubles, so I might as well believe. ”

Mr. Cheng laughed when he heard this, turned around with the cavalry, and said, "The little general doesn't have to worry too much, Cheng Gui and Jun are only afraid that there will be a time to meet." ”

Han Zhi sat on the side, trying to hold Fu Yi, but it was difficult to move, and when she saw Fu Yi coming to help him get on the horse, she said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Fu Yi said: "In such a situation, of course I have to stay to help you." ”

Han Zhi said: "Even if you can stay regardless of your life, what should Xiao Qi do?" To whom will you entrust her? ”

Fu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Han Song. When Han Song heard them say this, he also remembered that he was really a big burden. It is already difficult for Fu Yi to take a patient to hide in the enemy territory, and with a child, it must be very eye-catching.

Suddenly, I heard someone say, "Why don't I stay with Mr. Han!" ”

One of the horsemen did not leave and stepped forward. This person had a dark face, a blood-stained wallet on his body, and a long knife on his back, Han Song saw that he was no different from the rest of the soldiers, and when he heard him speak, he called Han Zhi "Mr. Han", and then remembered that it was Zou Wu who was driving the car.

Zou Wu said: "The villain is a local, I am familiar with where there are garrisons, where there are households, and who can eat and lodge." There is a man in Danyan County, who can cut the abdomen and suture, and I also know where his home is, so I will take Mr. Han to go, and he will be able to arrive before sunrise. If Zhang Mian sends someone to search for him, he will cultivate in the mountains, and when the limelight passes, he will find an opportunity to take Mr. Han out. ”

Fu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, but Han Zhi shook his head and said, "Since you have relatives and friends who make a living here, you also need to think about them, why take such a risk for me?" ”

Zou Wu raised his head and said, "What kind of risk is worth taking, it was my husband who told me." Why is it his turn that the gentleman is confused? ”

Han Zhi's face was dripping with cold sweat and was very painful, but when she heard this, her lips were slightly curved, a smile flashed, and she whispered: "You thank me for telling you the truth of the world, but how can I understand this truth myself." ”

Zou Wuyi was stunned. Han Zhi's gaze crossed him, fell into the vast wilderness, and said, "When I was a teenager, I thought that learning swords was the most chic. The world is so great that I can cut down all those who do injustice with one sword. But after learning the sword, you know that there is still a trade-off to draw the sword. What you say in your mouth, what you see in your eyes, and what you believe in your heart are not the same thing after all.

He said that tonight, if you want to kill Qi Shiheng, you can't kill Zhang Pinglin. But Qi Liang is not dead, as an elder, how can I comfort Ah Liu? If I don't know how to choose, how much injustice there is in the world, how can I break it with my single sword? ”

He saw Han Song on the side, his left hand moved, and he wanted to touch her hair, but when he saw that his fingertips were black and red, he put it down again, and said abruptly:

"In the end, it's just a matter of drawing a sword for one person."

Han Song knelt on his knees, unconsciously bursting into tears, and muttered, "Uncle! ”

She tried to speak for days, but she was hoarse and couldn't speak, and at this time she burst into tears, her throat was hot, and she actually spoke.

Zou Wu also leaned over and knelt in front of Han Zhi and said, "What is said in his mouth, Zou Wu doesn't understand. But what he saw, Zou Wu could see. Although my sword is not as fast as Mr. Han, I am willing to be drawn by him. Won't the gentleman give me this opportunity? ”

Han Zhi looked at him for a long time and said, "Okay." ”

said to Fu Yi again: "You take Xiao Qi to go first, and I will come to you after I heal my injury." ”

Fu Yi opened his mouth to speak, as if he had a stomach full of words to refute. Seeing Han Zhi's resolute gaze, he couldn't help but stop talking, and stood in place with the reins in his hand.

Han Zhi whispered again: "My father is unwilling to leave Juyang, and I have long been uneasy in my heart. This is the only blood and bones left of my second brother, please take good care of her. ”

Fu Yi was silent for a long time and said, "It must be so." ”

The two stopped talking, Fu Yi picked Han Song on the horse, and Zou Wu also helped Han Zhi onto the horse. When he was about to leave, Han Zhi whispered something to Zou Wu, Zou Wu took something, stepped forward in a few steps, and put something cold into Han Song's hand.

Han Song clenched it tightly in his hand, and when he looked down, he recognized it for a while among the blood stains on his hands, and then he saw that it was the black jade sword spike with the word "Zhi" written on it. Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she tried to turn back, only to see the emaciated back of the horse through the gray wilderness. Fu Yiyang spurred his horse, his arms cuffed in front of her, and his armour and cloak were covered with frost, more piercing than the water marks on her face. The two of them galloped eastward in the cold wind, a wisp of gray looming from the dark sky. Han Song wiped the tears from his face and looked directly at the morning light. She knew in her heart that this soft light was not a good omen for the end of the long night, but a revelation of deeper darkness: after this moment, everything in this land became more and more sinister.
