"Someone, there's someone here!"

Xu Rui vaguely heard the voice and exclaimed.

Qin Fei shouted while waving to the guards, "Quick, go in and have a look!" ”

Xu Rui didn't wait for the guards to follow, and rushed into the bushes first, and the guards hurriedly divided half of the people, threw the reins of the horses to the rest of the people, and kept up with Xu Rui's pace.

"Dashuai, it's really you!"

At this time, the visibility was only a few meters left, and after groping for a moment in the wind and sand, Xu Rui finally met Princess Qixia's guard commander, Wang Chi, the captain of the forbidden army.

Xu Rui grabbed Wang Chi's wrist and said, "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Wang Chi's face was full of surprise, and he pointed behind him and said, "In the back, His Highness is digging a pit with his guards." ”

"Dig a pit?"

Xu Rui didn't say a word, and hurriedly rushed in the direction that Wang Chi pointed.

Wang Chi was stunned for a moment, and the guards who happened to follow Xu Rui's footsteps also arrived, and they followed Xu Rui to the depths of the bushes.

After running for about twenty meters, his vision gradually became clearer, and Xu Rui was stunned to find that a group of guards were digging a pit around Princess Qixia's Xuanyuan Yuan against the wind and sand.

Xu Rui finally understood that because Xuanyuan was walking slowly on the sand, most of the guards who followed Princess Qixia were infantry, so Princess Qixia thought that she could not return to the camp in time and ran to this bush to hide.

However, after this, Princess Qixia found that the scale of the sandstorm had greatly exceeded her expectations, so she ordered her soldiers to dig a pit on the spot as a windbreak trough to avoid being blown into the sky by the strong wind.

It's just that Princess Qixia still underestimated the power of the sandstorm, although the sandpit can prevent the wind, but the large amount of sand and gravel that comes with it is enough to bury the people in the windbreak trough alive.

"What about Her Royal Highness?"

Xu Rui grabbed a soldier beside him and asked anxiously.

The soldier didn't seem to hear this sentence clearly, but when he saw Xu Rui, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted, "Dashuai, why are you here?!" ”

Xu Rui leaned into the soldier's ear and shouted, "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

This time, the soldier heard Xu Rui's words clearly, showed a sudden expression, and pointed behind him: "Command the brothers to dig a pit next to Xuanyuan Yuan!" ”

"Stop digging, come with me!"

Xu Rui pulled the soldier and walked in the direction of Xuanyuan.

The howling wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it had begun to affect everyone's footsteps, Xu Rui took a few steps forward according to the steel helmet above his head, and finally heard a voice that had not been heard for a long time.

"Quick, don't rush in after digging the storm pit, wrap yourself in a cloak, don't be buried under the sand, everyone try to get together and tie each other with ropes, so that it is not easy to be blown away by the strong wind!"

It can be heard that the owner of the voice is hoarse, because of anxiety, the tone has no beauty at all, but at this moment, Xu Rui feels that this voice is even more beautiful than the immortal sound of the Heavenly Palace, because it is the voice of Princess Qixia who he has been looking for all the way.

"Hey!"

Xu Rui let go of the soldier he was holding, formed a horn with both hands, put it to his mouth, and shouted with all his strength to the vague figure a few meters in front of him.

When the figure heard the sound, the sound of shouting stopped abruptly, and the body was visibly stunned.

After only hesitating for a breath, she suddenly threw down the rope and shovel in her hand as if she had been reunited after a long absence, and rushed towards Xu Rui desperately under the impetus of the strong wind, and crashed into Xu Rui's arms.

Although the wind was still howling, and although the visibility was extremely low, this scene was still presented naked in front of everyone.

The princess of the grassland who was to be married threw herself into the arms of the marriage envoy, and such an incredible scene made the soldiers behind Xu Rui, as well as Qin Fei, Wang Chi and a group of guards who came later, stunned.

"Ahem, don't look at indecency!"

Qin Fei kindly reminded Wang Chi loudly in his ear.

"Ah...... cough cough cough ...... Phew......"

Wang Chi choked on a mouthful of sand and kept spitting.

"Wow! Whew! ”

The guards shouted first, and the rest of the people immediately followed him, shouting and cheering in the apocalyptic wind.

"I'm sorry I'm getting you in trouble again."

Princess Qixia seemed to ignore the gazes of the people around her completely, and whispered softly next to Xu Rui's ear.

Xu Rui wrapped his arms around Princess Qixia and shook his head vigorously: "It's not your fault, it's me who was too careless and didn't see Long Tu's sinister intentions in advance, but you don't have to worry about it with me, it's just a sandstorm, we will definitely be fine." ”

The corners of Princess Qixia's mouth hooked up a smile, nodded gently, and the decisiveness of directing the soldiers to dig the windbreak pit disappeared cleanly, like a well-behaved bird quietly nestled in Xu Rui's arms.

At this moment, all sorrows retreated, and heaven and earth seemed to be eternal.

However, the sweetness was destined to be short-lived, and the grim situation made Xu Rui quickly come back to his senses, he grabbed Princess Qixia's hand and said: "The sandstorm is menacing, there is no cover here at all, we must leave immediately." ”

Princess Qixia didn't ask him where he was going, just nodded and followed him back.

Wang Chi and Qin Fei had already gathered their guards in the wind, and when Xu Rui pulled Princess Qixia over, the two immediately came up.

"Dashuai, I'm afraid it's too late for us to return to the camp at this time, what should we do?"

Qin Fei asked loudly in Xu Rui's ear.

Xu Rui said: "The sandstorm is faster than we expected, and it is impossible to go back, so we can only find a place to avoid it for a while!" ”

Wang Chi said: "Dashuai, how can there be a shelter near here?" ”

Xu Rui's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that the "stone forest" marked on the map was only a few hundred meters away from here, although Xiao Hu said that it was a dangerous place, but there was no choice at the moment.

He looked up at the sun, which was already very vague, slightly discerned the direction, pointed to the northwest direction, and said: "Go over there, there is a stone forest hundreds of meters away, the guards pick up the forbidden brothers, two people and one horse, run as fast as they can!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wang Chi and Qin Fei agreed with their fists at the same time, and then hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to go outside the bushes.

"I remember when I said before, what happens if you sail when the sea is windy?"

Xu Rui asked loudly in Princess Qixia's ear.

Princess Qixia's cheeks flushed and said: "You said that there would be a feeling called weightlessness, which is very dangerous, but it is also very exciting, and I said at that time that I wanted to try it." ”

Xu Rui nodded: "Let you try that feeling now!" ”

Before the words fell, Xu Rui hugged Princess Qixia horizontally, his legs sank slightly, and then kicked hard, "bang", a sand flower exploded on the sand, and Xu Rui actually hugged Princess Qixia and rushed out against the bushes.

Princess Qixia exclaimed, hooked Xu Rui's neck with both hands, closed her eyes, buried her head in his arms, and the exclamation in her mouth turned into a series of laughter like silver bells, as if as long as she hugged Xu Rui like this, no matter how difficult the future was, she would be happy.

Xu Rui hugged Princess Qixia and returned to the guards waiting outside from the bushes as quickly as possible, first helped Princess Qixia onto his war horse, and then took out a rope and carefully tied her body to the horse to avoid being blown off by the strong wind.

When all this was done, the other soldiers from the bush also ran out.

Xu Rui jumped on the war horse, hugged Princess Qixia's slender waist with one hand, and lifted the horse's reins with the other, suppressed the restless emotions of the war horse, and shouted: "Come with me!" ”

Then he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly rushed into the vast yellow sand.

The guards behind him took Xu Rui's fluttering white daqi as a banner, and the two of them urged the reins one after another, and galloped away with Xu Rui's war horse at the fastest speed.

"Boom ......"

The howling wind had turned into a deafening thunderstorm, and no matter how loud it was, if it wasn't shouted close to the ear, it would immediately be drowned out in the wind.

In addition to the inability to communicate, the extremely low visibility almost makes people blind, and the flying wind is like a sharp arrow, which can kill people at any time.

At this time, Xu Rui not only had to calculate the location of the stone forest, but also use the dimmering sun as a reference to correct the route, but also be careful at all times to avoid the tragedy of hitting the stone forest headlong because of insufficient visibility and too late to slow down.

He drew an accurate map in his mind, estimating the speed at which the horses were galloping, and approaching their final destination little by little like radar.

"It's closer, it's getting closer......"

Xu Rui kept admonishing himself in his heart, and his hopes were getting bigger and bigger.

But at this moment, the war horse under his crotch suddenly shook violently, Xu Rui's head was dizzy for a moment, and his heart fell to the bottom with a "gurgle".

Because he understood that it was not the war horse that was shaking, but the whole land shaking.

"Geological activity, is there going to be an earthquake?"

Xu Rui suddenly had a desperate thought in his heart.
