Chapter 115
The dragon in the cloud leaned back, and there was a 'sword flying snow', which could block the arrows that were shooting at them, and the horse had already run twenty paces away. I had to rejoice that I had escaped the tiger's mouth, and suddenly, an ominous premonition came to my heart.
Sure enough, Chen Ji had already drawn his bow and was ready to shoot, and at this moment, it turned out to be three arrows fired at once, although there was a difference in order, but to outsiders, it seemed like a salvo.
The dragon in the cloud saw a powerful arrow coming through the air, two arrows to take the horse's hind legs, and one arrow to take the person on the horse. At this time, the dragon in the cloud was already poor in donkey skills, and if he could block the two arrows that shot the horse, he couldn't avoid the arrow that shot the man; And if you avoid the arrow that shoots a man, the horse will surely be struck by the arrow. At that moment, he didn't hesitate, and suddenly swung his sword to pick off the two arrows that shot at the horse's legs, as for the arrow that the opponent shot directly at his heart, if he dodged, he would definitely shoot at the woman in front of him, and only had time to get up and go to the side, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and he had been hit by the arrow.
Chen Ji has yet to shoot again, and the dark cloud has already run far away. He looked at his subordinates and said, "Go back!" “
One of them asked unknowingly, "General, don't you chase after you?" ”
As soon as Chen Ji heard this, he saw that he was about to be done, but it fell short at the last moment, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Chase, you chase me immediately, if you can't find anyone, don't come back!" ”
Although the dragon in the cloud was seriously injured, he still kept his mind in his mind, and still held the woman in his left hand and the Feiyun Sword in his right hand. I felt more and more sleepy, I was afraid that the sword would fall, and I tried all my strength, but I didn't put the sword back into the scabbard behind me, but I put the sword on the side of the woman lying on the horseback, and my consciousness gradually blurred, and finally, I fainted.
I don't know how long it was, and I don't know how far the horse had gone.
At this time, the sky had already dawned, and the dark clouds seemed to know that they were out of danger, and had slowed down, leisurely eating verdant grass on a meadow.
The princess was only frightened, and overworked, and after a few hours, she finally woke up, and she was surprised to find that she was lying on the back of a horse, and suddenly felt a cold right arm, and turned her head to see a long black sword at her side, and her heart was shocked.
Looking again, he was not only lying on the back of a horse, but also lying on a man's legs, only to see his head hanging very low, but she could see his face clearly below, the sword eyebrows were deeply locked, the starry eyes were lightly closed, and the face was like a crown of jade, faintly giving people a light and elegant feeling, handsome and heroic, but the lips were pale, and the complexion was very bad.
She gently avoided the sword and slowly dismounted, only to find that there were arrows stuck in his back, and the blood had long since dried up, staining his back red. I secretly said in my heart: Could it be that he saved me just now, and then was shot and wounded by the pursuers.
Hurriedly walked to the horse, trying to remove the sword he held tightly on the horse. With great difficulty, he let go of the sword in his hand, tried to lift the sword, but did not move, rested for a while, and only then took the sword off after regaining some strength.
Although the dark cloud is a very rare horse, but along the way, the two of them have more than 300 catties with a sword, and they are also very tired after galloping, and at this moment they have lost more than half of their burden, and they are suddenly much more relaxed, and they can't help but snort lowly, as if thanking her for lightening the burden for themselves.
Only then did she discover that there was a clear stream beside this vast meadow, but it was the dark clouds who were thirsty and hungry that they had come to such a place.
Put the sword on the ground on the side, and wanted to help the dragon in the cloud off the horse, but there was no response, and suddenly he pulled him hard, seeing that he was about to fall, he was busy supporting him with his body, who would have thought that his physical strength had not fully recovered, and the person pounced directly on her body, and pressed her to the ground.
She was shy and anxious, and wanted to push the person on her body away, but she couldn't use any strength. In a fit of rage, he was violently pounded.
But it touched the wound of the dragon in the clouds, and I only heard him mutter: "Yuting, don't leave me!" Yuting ......"
She thought he was awake and hurriedly closed his eyes, but she only heard him keep saying, "Yuting, don't go, don't leave me!" Or keep calling the name of "Yuting". I was curious, who was the person he called, why I had a faint feeling of affection for him, was it because he saved me! For a while, he forgot to push him away.
After a while, she finally regained her strength, and then carefully moved him from her body to the grass next to her, let him lie on the ground, touched his forehead with her hand, only to feel very hot, hurriedly walked to the stream, wet her hand towel, gently wiped his face, and washed it herself, and then covered his forehead with the wet hand towel.
After two hours, Yun Zhonglong woke up, regardless of the injury on his back, grabbed the slender hand of the woman in front of him, and said, "Yuting, it's really you!" ”
When the princess saw that he thought he was in a coma, she kept calling people, and hurriedly said, "Did you recognize the wrong person?" For some reason, he didn't pull his hand out.
Yun Zhonglong said: "I obviously saw you on the hill just now, how could I be wrong?" As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, and saw a more delicate jade face, close at hand. But it's not who Yu Ting is, but it seems to be more beautiful and temperamental than Yu Ting, and I can't help but say: "Yu Ting, I haven't seen you these days, you are more beautiful and more temperamental!" ”
Seeing that he saw his face clearly, the princess called herself "Yu Ting", suddenly pulled out the hand that was clenched by him, and said, "I'm really not Yu Ting, my name is Cheng Ruoshi, you recognize the wrong person!" ”
Yun Zhonglong took a closer look, it was indeed a little different, and after thinking about it, could it be that she had also crossed over? Suddenly, there was a pain in the back, and then I remembered that I was shot by Chen Ji's third arrow, but fortunately, it was on horseback at the time, and the dark cloud was a famous horse for thousands of miles, and the speed was extremely fast, and to a certain extent, the speed of the arrow was slowed down, which was spared. Rao is like this, but he is a little afraid of Chen Ji's archery.
The person who originally thought that he had been thinking about it for a long time finally returned to his side, but at this time, he found that it was just a bamboo basket to draw water, and he fainted immediately.
Cheng Ruoshi saw that he fainted again, this place was deserted, and the surrounding jungle was dense, and there was a faint fear.
Slowly, the dark cloud walked into the distance, and could no longer be seen, for a while, it seemed that in the entire silent mountain forest, there were only two people, she and the cloud dragon who fainted on the ground.
said that Chen Ji was very unwilling to see the two of them fleeing away on horseback, but he had to order the retreat.
At this time, Wei Feng had also led people to the front of the Xian's camp, and Chen Ji led people to the rendezvous.
Although the pioneer saw the arrow in the clouds, the situation was not optimistic, but he temporarily got out of the predicament; However, seeing that a large number of people surrounded the Xian's camp, he had to give up the idea of chasing after him and stared at the movement of the camp with all his attention.
When Wei Feng heard this, the princess disguised herself as a man, and at the last moment, she was rescued by a nameless man, although the man was seriously injured, but the two had already fled away. He just heard what Liu Zhong said, Xiaotong committed suicide, but the princess was already dead, although he couldn't be sure who was the target he was looking for, but he could already guess eight or nine.
When everyone came to the Xian's camp, they saw that Xianzhen was leading people to wait for him, although the number was small, but he was also ready to go.
Wei Feng and others were originally the same generals of the Jin State as Xianzhen, but after the civil strife in the Jin Dynasty, they were divided into several major forces, and he followed the then Gongzi Yiwu, who was also the younger brother of Gongzi Chong'er.
In 650 B.C., the Jin State of Fu Rick raised troops to kill Li Ji and Xi Qi, and the Minister of State Xun Xi committed suicide.
The ministers had to propose that Yiwu succeed to the throne, but Rick felt that he was greedy and forbearing, greedy and untrustworthy, and forbearant without relatives, but forced by the situation, Yiwu promised to give him and the doctor a large amount of land to Zheng's father, and several big cities as a reward, and promised Qin Mugong to obtain the assistance of the Qin army, which was successfully enthroned, for Jin Huigong.
After he ascended the throne, not only did he not honor the rewards of Rick and Pi Zheng's father, but also refused to give the city to the Qin people, and wanted to kill Rick on the charge of killing the two monarchs of the Jin Kingdom, Xi Qi and Zhuo Zi, and a doctor Xun Xi.
Rick knew that he would not be spared, so he said, "If not, can you get the throne?" If you want to add sin, why is there no word? After that, he committed suicide.
And Xianzhen and others have always been loyal to Gongzi Chong'er. At that time, Jin Xiangong listened to the rumors and sent people to hunt down and kill the son Chong'er who fled abroad.
Later, after Yiwu ascended the throne, he was afraid that his brother Chong'er would return to China to compete with him for the throne, so he sent people to continue to intensify the pursuit and killing of Chong'er.
At this moment, although they are both Jin people, they are their own masters, and Wei Feng and the others have not shown their true colors, even if they can recognize them first, they have nothing to do with them, after all, they are not like-minded people.
Wei Feng was also very hesitant in his heart, whether to eradicate the Xian clan in one fell swoop? Although each is its master, they are also the same Jin people, and they were the same generals back then.
Now, the task given to him by the monarch of the Jin Kingdom has not been completed as he wished, and he is afraid that he will not only be useless when he goes back, but will also have it. Thinking of this, my heart was cold, even if this was the case, I easily eradicated the Xian clan, which can be regarded as atonement for my sins. The decision was made at the moment, and he immediately summoned his generals and was about to give the order to attack.
Suddenly, a horse in front of him rushed straight forward, it was the spy they sent, Wei Feng shouted, "What's the matter?" ”
The man dismounted and knelt down and said, "General, there are twenty or thirty thousand horses a few miles ahead, there are about five or six thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and one or twenty thousand infantry behind are coming in this direction one after another. ”
Wei Feng sighed: "I didn't expect that the Chu people had already notified the Qi people to come to help, and the Qi people came so quickly and fiercely, it was impossible to chase the enemy now." Knowing that nothing could be done, he decisively ordered at the moment: "Withdraw!" ”
After this battle, there were still nearly 5,000 men and horses, menacing, and they were extremely fast when they left.
The people of the Xian's camp did not have time to be happy because of the withdrawal of the Jin people, and immediately a large group of people and horses rushed over, dusty and magnificent, it was the army of Qi that came to help in a hurry. Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Xian's camp.
The army is divided on both sides, leaving a very wide passage, the first general in the army, the head of the horse, the air is magnificent, very mighty, slowly moving forward.
Xian Zhen stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask the general, what are you doing?" ”
Seeing that he was still calm and calm at this moment, the general couldn't help but appreciate it a little, and said, "Qi Country Pastoral, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
The first said: "I have admired the general's name for a long time, and I am the first!" "Originally, they should have said that they were Jin people, but they fled from the Jin Kingdom, and they could no longer call themselves Jin people. It's like having a home that you can't go back to, and having relatives who can't recognize you.
Tian Yuan said: "Look up for a long time!" "Xianzhen was only in his twenties when he was in the Jin Kingdom, and he was just an unknown young general. He just thought that this person was good, so he said politely. Suddenly, he said: "Since we are fortunate to meet here, it is better to meet by chance, than to go to Qi country, so that Tian can fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" ”
The first person knew that he and the others were all pinched in the hands of the other party, how could he refuse, so he said: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate!" I have long heard that the Marquis of Qi has dominated the Central Plains for a long time, and I want to go, but at this moment, when I see the general's demeanor, I am well-known! "It's better to say that it's an invitation, it's better to say that it's a coercion, but the people are powerful, and they haven't torn their faces yet. His compliment was really watertight, not only praising the most enjoyable hegemony of the Qi people, but also praising General Tian Tian himself.
Tian Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, and said: "Very good!" Then he summoned his generals and said, "You wait to search for a radius of 100 miles, and you must find Chu Ji!" As he spoke, he took out a silk painting, which was the portrait of a woman that the Chu people had dedicated to the Marquis of Qi in advance. No matter how you say it, the people in the paintings are always more charming and moving than the living people.
The generals under him immediately received orders to go down to search.
Tian Yuan seemed to say casually unintentionally: "General Xian, I don't know how long you have been staying here?" ”
Xian Zhen said calmly: "Don't hide it from the general, I just arrived here at sunset yesterday." ”
Tian Yuan said softly: "Oh! He added: "That being the case, I don't know if I slept well last night!" ”
Xianzhen said with understanding: "I think the general also knows that there were thieves who came to attack last night. ”
Tian Yuan said puzzledly: "In that case, why haven't you seen any traces of a battle here?" ”
Xian Zhen said: "I don't know why, there were indeed more than 1,000 thieves surrounding the inferior people last night, but what is incomprehensible is that the other party left one side on three sides, and even more besieged but not attacked, now I think that the thieves know that the general is here, so they don't dare to wreak havoc!" ”
Tian Yuan saw that he did not change color, and he couldn't hear any flaws in his words. I had to say: "Ben only received the news not long ago, so he rushed over?" ”
The two exchanged politeness again, and Tian Yuan returned to the temporary camp.
Three hours later, the generals of the Qi army gathered again. Tian Yuan sat at the top of the list, and the generals were on both sides of the office, looking very respectful.
I only heard one of the generals say: "Report to the general, I found the Chu people's camp in the front, and there were nearly a thousand corpses, and the strange thing is that they were all Chu people, and there was no trace of the enemy, and there was not even a single corpse left." Later, not far from the side, the tomb of the general of Chu was found, and according to his subordinates, the Chu people were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out this time. In addition, there were several female corpses in the camp, but Chu Ji was not found. ”
