Chapter Seventy-Seven: Escape
In less than a moment, the two were tightly surrounded by the soldiers who came to hear the news, looking at the dense human heads in front of him, Xie Lingxu only felt that his eyes were a little dizzy, it seemed that it was time to experience the feeling of being hacked to death by a random knife......
"Someone from outside broke in and killed meβ"
As soon as the enemy leader gave an order, the people in front of him immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the two isolated and helpless people in front of them.
Mu Yun unsheathed his long sword, and leaned into Xie Lingxu's ear and said to her in a deep voice:
"Beware!"
"Yes." Holding the reckless sword tightly in his hand, Xie Lingxu gritted his teeth...... Now we can only follow the will of God.
Mu Yun, whose swordsmanship was unpredictable, had no trouble dealing with the person in front of him, and almost no one could get close to him within two meters. The soldiers in front of him knew that Mu Yun was a tricky person, so they all turned their spearheads and attacked Xie Lingxu together.
Fighting against the swarming soldiers, Xie Lingxu only hoped that he wouldn't cause too much trouble to Mu Yun......
The people in front of him fell in a row and came one after the other, and the heads rose and fell in the blood foam, as if there was no end. One didn't pay attention, and the back was slashed again, Xie Lingxu scolded secretly, and immediately cheered up and continued to fight......
There were more and more knife wounds on his body, and Xie Lingxu no longer had the strength to dodge the sharp blades that were attacking, so he could only resist to the death needlessly, allowing the enemy's continuous attacks to eat away at his strength little by little......
As soon as his legs were weak, Xie Lingxu half-knelt with the sword to support his weak body, and Mu Yun beside him blocked the sword that was about to fall on his body for himself, repelling the soldiers who were surrounded by him.
was pulled up by Mu Yun, Xie Lingxu finally stood firm, only to see the former leaning into his ear and saying:
"Remember, don't take on yourself what you shouldn't be doing."
"What?" Xie Lingxu frowned.
Mu Yun cut off the head of the soldier in front of him with a sword:
"You go first, I'll clear the way for you."
"But...... Why? Xie Lingxu was surprised.
"Do you want to stay here and trouble me?"
Xie Lingxu: "But I ...... with Ben There's no way to get out. β
Mu Yun: "You can." β
"What am I going to do?"
Mu Yun raised his chin and said to the former:
"Your horse."
Following the direction he indicated, Xie Lingxu glanced over and saw that Bai Qian was speeding towards his position......
The galloping white horse broke through the barrier of the road ahead and flew in front of him, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel a little incredulous, is this the meaning of the endless road?
Mu Yun: "What are you doing in a daze, get on the horse!" β
Xie Lingxu: "Then you ......"
"You don't have to worry about it!"
Stepping on the horse, Xie Lingxu turned his head to look at the lonely man:
"You really ......"
Mu Yun patted the horse's back and said sharply: "Hurry upβ"
The wind whistled in his ears, and the former's figure was besieged by a group of fierce soldiers, and gradually disappeared from Xie Lingxu's sight......
βββββββββββββββββ
Zhou Fu: "Lord, it's time to go. β
King You's indifferent eyes were unbright:
"Wait a little longer."
Zhou Fu: "Lord, even if this woman has unsolved mysteries, the army can't mess with the rules just because she waits for her, and one more day of delay will be more dangerous." β
The king was still unmoved: "She will come back." β
Zhou Fu: "Lord...... You know that if a weak woman enters the enemy's barracks alone, it must be more than lucky. β
King Yu closed his eyes indifferently:
"Needless to say."
Zhou Fu:
"You can't do this, what you are carrying is the life of the emperor and the life of the entire army of the Underworld."
After a long silence, King You lowered his head as if compromised:
"Wait, if after an hour, she still doesn't come back...... Then we set off. β
"Lordβ" Zhou Fu sighed, looked at the former's cold side face, shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave.
"Frightened ......" King You looked ahead and exhaled heavily...... It was so difficult to resist the urge to gallop to the woods in front of me to find her......
But he can't do this, no matter what, it is nonsense to leave a group of troops, and the responsibility on his shoulders is a mission that cannot be disobeyed, but at this moment it makes people so panicked.
Now that I can't do anything, I can only keep an expectation, and I can't see the future expectation......
King You silently looked far ahead, but saw a seemingly nonexistent figure driving in his direction.
The blurred outline became clearer and clearer, and the figure of the woman in black on the white horse was deeply engraved in the eyes of the king of You-
There was a throbbing in his heart, and indescribable joy welled up in his heart, and King You couldn't help but take a few steps ahead.
You're back......
The person in front of him gradually approached, and saw in the distance that the white horse was stained with the blood flowing from the woman's wound, and the bright red blood was dazzling, and the king felt a clog in his throatβ
When will you, who are seriously injured again, stop worrying......
Stopping his horse in front of King You, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but wonder what kind of cool breeze King You was standing outside blowing......
Stepping off the horse, Xie Lingxu's weak body shook, but fortunately he was firmly supported by King You on the side.
Xie Lingxu: "King You, I have something important......
"It's good to be back!" King You looked at the former and said indifferently.
Hearing King You's inexplicable words, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then then said:
"Hmm...... I entered the enemy camp earlier, and found that the enemy may not seem to be what we thought, they are not barbarians, but Central Plains. β
Letting a sturdy Central Plains person pretend to be a barbarian, although he doesn't know what the meaning of this practice is, but based on what he has seen and felt, Xie Lingxu thinks that this is an almost certain fact.
"Hmm." The king of Youwang lightly spat out a monosyllable.
Well......? I thought that the former would show some surprise or confusion to a greater or lesser extent, but I didn't expect that King You would just respond indifferently, as if he had known the news a long time ago, or that he didn't care about the information brought by Xie Lingxu at all......
Xie Lingxu: "What is the king going to do?" β
"You're seriously injured and need immediate medical attention, and I'll help you get there."
I don't know why King You suddenly cares about himself so much, Xie Lingxu was stunned and took a step back, and said with a surprised expression:
"Uh...... I'm okay......"
King You looked at the woman whose cheeks were stained with blood, and frowned slightly:
"Okay? Do you have to let yourself be bruised before you give up? β
Xie Lingxu thought to himself that he was not masochistic, where was there such an exaggeration as King You......
"I didn't ......" Before the words fell, one arm was gently grabbed by the former, Xie Lingxu raised his eyes and looked at the cold side faces of the people around him and couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
He was taken straight to the wounded ward by King You, and was baptized with various bruising ointments, and the wound was treated, but Xie Lingxu felt that he was tired and hungry at the moment, but there was still something faintly hanging in his heart......
Xie Lingxu was eating some pastries while asking King You:
"Your Majesty...... Are you okay? β
King You's sparse eyes glanced at Xie Lingxu, and seemed to be a little disdainful to answer her question:
"Not so good. The emperor was seriously injured, and the wind and cold have not healed, so he is still lying down and unable to move. β
Xie Lingxu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least it meant that the emperor was still alive......
"Hmm...... Then I'll go see the emperor. β
"You ......" King You glanced at him helplessly, and then turned around a little unpleasantly: "Forget it...... Whatever you want! β
"Miss Xie is okay, you saved the emperor's life, and the reward for you will not be less."
Shen Su rarely showed a slightly kind look in front of Xie Lingxu, but he didn't know how much the truth and falsehood in his feelings were mixed, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
"Father-in-law Shen, the emperor is ...... What's going on? β
Shen Su led Xie Lingxu to the emperor's bed, only to see the person on the bed lying quietly, making an extremely faint breathing sound.
The emperor's body has recovered a lot compared to before, his body has now been conditioned very thoughtfully, and his complexion is also much ruddy, Xie Lingxu can't help but sigh that Shen Su is really the material to take care of people, if he is really loyal and pure, he must be an indispensable personal nanny and bodyguard by the emperor's side......
Xie Lingxu: "Why hasn't the emperor woken up yet?" β
Shen Yu: "The emperor has woken up, but his body is weak and a little sleepy, and he needs a few more days of conditioning to recover." β
Xie Lingxu: "Right now, does the emperor plan to continue to move forward to the northern frontier, or turn back to the palace?" β
Shen Su turned her head to look at Xie Lingxu absentmindedly, and her eyes seemed to feel that this was not something she should take care of.
"Listen to the meaning of King You, this trip has already been more than halfway through, and I must go to the northern Xinjiang to ask for an explanation no matter what."
Xie Lingxu thought secretly: The identity of the person who confronted our army now is unknown, although everyone thinks that it is the garrison of the barbarians, but the man from the Central Plains who was talking in the enemy camp just now seems to indicate another possibility.
If it's not the barbarians who are fighting against our army, then it's a bit tricky......
The current plan is to continue to march towards the northern frontier, no matter whether the group of barbarians is sincerely seeking peace, whether the sudden attack is a trick of the barbarians to rebel against their word, or a false blame, they can only find out if they are personally involved.
As for the injured emperor, Xie Lingxu knew that King You didn't plan to wait for the emperor to recover before setting off, the latter seemed to be just an indispensable thing to bring to negotiate peace with the barbarians in the eyes of King You, in short, the emperor slept with his eyes closed, slept in the camp, and slept in the carriage, as long as he was not in any danger, it would not be a big deal to throw the emperor on horseback and drag him away. Xie Lingxu felt that the whole group of underworld troops were probably the emperor's porters, transporting the emperor safely to the north and then safely back to the palace, as long as he was guaranteed to be angry, what process he went through, King You would not care.
Xie Lingxu walked to the emperor's bed with a large tonic medicinal diet, and happened to meet the latter lazily opening his eyes-
Xie Lingxu: "Your Majesty...... Drink medicine. β
The former sat up straight, looked at the person in front of him who first blocked the knife for himself, and then took his life to save himself, and said lightly:
"No, I'm much better."
Xie Lingxu: "Then how can it be done!" β
The Emperor: "Ling, you are so seriously injured, you should drink." β
Xie Lingxu smiled: "I don't need to." β
"It's too bitter...... "The emperor looked innocent.
Xie Lingxu "......"
Groove ...... The emperor is really still the emperor!
