Chapter 21—The Plan of Salvation
The bleak and quiet night descended on the outside of the Guandong Linguan, the first male of the Qi State, and the dark night exuded a faint coldness and coolness. Under the cover of night, several soldiers guarding the gate of Donglinguan did not find a girl in a black nightcoat lurking in the grass outside Donglinguan. The girl, who was no more than twenty years old, exhaled softly, and the girl took off the black cloak from her head. In the dark night, you can faintly see the happy and disgusted expression on her face.
"Huh, senior brother is really, really doesn't want me to find him?Does he really think I'm angry with him?" However, she didn't notice the grass under her feet the moment she just stood up, and stepped directly on it, and the grass made a crisp and loud rustling sound. The girl was startled and quickly crouched down and lurked in the darkness.
Through the gap in the grass, the girl saw that the two guards guarding the east gate did not notice her movement, but continued to patrol outside the city gate.
The girl gasped softly, her eyes continued to search the castle tower in the east gate, and she also knew that she might not find the senior brother she was looking for. But the girl still did not give up, and continued to search for the city.
The girl was Xia Qing, who was separated from Feng Baiyi in Yunsheng Juxian Tower last time, and after she returned to the bamboo forest, she realized that her behavior was a little excessive. She was also worried about Feng Baiyi's safety, so she left the bamboo forest and returned to Yunsheng Juxian Tower to find Feng Baiyi. But in just a few days, what happened in Yunsheng Juxian Tower surprised her.
The accidental fire on the sixteenth floor of Yunsheng Juxian Building directly led to the "accidental death" of about half of the contestants, but the Jiangnan martial arts competition continued to be held. Liu Xun also sent Ouchi guards to protect the safety of the remaining contestants. However, only Xia Qing probably guessed that Liu Xun was the initiator of this fire. Fortunately, Xia Qing was no longer interested in these things in Shixiao. She just wants to find her senior brother now, and she can live a dull life for a lifetime. No, Xia Qing himself got lost, so he went around to Donglinguan, the junction of Qi and Feng, very inexplicably.
"Hey, isn't this girl Jiang Yuexue in the wine house? How could she be tied to the flagpole?" Xia Qing's eyes searched aimlessly on the city tower in the east of Linguan, and when she saw that the flagpole erected in the center of the city tower was tied to a girl in white who was stunning and captivating in the city, Xia Qing took a closer look and found that this girl was still Jiang Yuexue, a girl in the wine house she knew.
"What's the situation!" Xia Qing was completely confused, in her impression that Jiang Yuexue was a little girl who didn't know anything, Xia Qing didn't believe that Jiang Yuexue would be arrested in Donglinguan.
Xia Qing lost control of her emotions for a while, and she didn't even realize that she had shouted, although her voice was not loud. But it was a little loud in the silent night, and the moment Xia Qing realized that he had overreacted, the three guards guarding the gate of Donglin Guan City had already walked over with spears. As he walked, he muttered, "What sound?"
Xia Qing quickly covered his mouth and hid his body in the dark grass as best he could. When the three guards chased in the direction of Xia Qing's voice, they didn't find anyone, which made them feel very strange.
However, the three guards slowly walked back to the city gate of the East Gate, and Xia Qing saw through the gap in the grass that the three guards had left. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly she was gently tapped by a finger on her back, and she didn't speak.
Xia Qing's heart instantly became cold, and she knew that she was still discovered. So she could only secretly tell herself to find an opportunity to fight back and escape. But the moment she turned away, there was an incredible glint in her large, bright and beautiful eyes.
"It's you" faintly saw the silhouette of the person in front of him in the dark, in front of him was a young man in a black robe, and when he saw this young man, Xia Qing's heart swelled with indescribable complex emotions.
The young man in front of him smiled faintly, and the dark night faintly sketched the smile on his face. "Senior sister, I was wrong, I swear, I will never play a child's temper with you again in the future. I will definitely grow, don't worry!" The young man held his right hand to his ear, and his voice was calm but very solemn.
Xia Qing's face flashed with a very blurry color, listening to the solemn oath of the young man in front of him, Xia Qing's heart swelled with a very strange emotion. She wanted to grasp the last warmth in her heart, but the young man's behavior sometimes overwhelmed him.
"Senior brother, why are you here?" Xia Qing choked in her throat, there were always a thousand words and she didn't know where to start, and after struggling for a long time, she still asked.
In front of him was Feng Baiyi, who had just escaped from the East Border Pass, even though he had escaped from the East Border Pass. But Feng Baiyi, who hadn't had a good rest for a few days, still fell asleep in the grass on the outskirts of Donglinguan. After all, the double exhaustion of his heart and body really made him tired, so much so that Xia Qing didn't notice it when he walked to him. It wasn't until Xia Qing shouted that he woke up in a daze, but he unexpectedly saw the person he wanted to see the most.
Feng Baiyi stroked Xia Qing's soft face, wiped a comfortable smile on his face, and said softly: "Senior sister, I was also deceived here. I almost lost my life!"
"Huh, then you should know the girl on the city tower, right?" Xia Qing turned his head and thought about what Feng Baiyi said, and couldn't help but ask first.
Feng Baiyi nodded slightly, "You're talking about the girl in white, right? she tricked me into going to Donglinguan, she is a descendant of the Ming clan, and I also heard from them about their revenge plan 'Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom'." Fortunately, there is also a big contradiction between the descendants of their Ming clan, and this time this girl was framed by He Yu, the guard general who guarded the East Linguan. ”
"Senior brother, I can't hide it, I know this girl, it is Jiang Yuexue, a wine seller in the 'Liuli' wine house outside the bamboo forest. I still know her well, and she has helped me with some things many times, so I want to save her" Xia Qing stopped talking, she also knew that what she said was a little unrealistic.
"What! That glazed wine house is just outside the bamboo forest?Isn't that a poplar forest?" Feng Baiyi was taken aback when he heard Xia Qing's words.
"Senior brother, maybe you don't know it, this is the wonder of that bamboo forest, from the outside it doesn't look like a bamboo forest at all, but like a poplar forest. This is also the cover of this bamboo forest, which may also be a miracle that nature can't explain," Xia Qing's voice was a little shy. However, what she said surprised Feng Baiyi.
Feng Baiyi now knew that the poplar forest that he had noticed many times was really the bamboo forest he dreamed of going, which made him unacceptable for a while.
Feng Baiyi was stunned for a while, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, "This girl is from the Ming clan! Are you sure you want to save her?"
Xia Qing glanced at him innocently, and said indifferently: "What's wrong with the Ming people? Could it be that you think she will kill anyone? I understand Jiang Yuexue's character, she will definitely not pose any threat to us." Xia Qing gently took Feng Baiyi's hand and said a little coquettishly, "Senior brother, I know you will definitely agree, just help me this time and then we will go back to the bamboo forest, okay" Xia Qing's face was shy and slightly reddened.
Feng Baiyi's heart pounded, and he saw that the person he loved the most had forgiven him. Feng Baiyi's mood also became better, but he was also thinking about how to save Jiang Yuexue who was tied to the flag. Whether she can be rescued or not is one thing, Feng Baiyi is worried that Jiang Yuexue has suffered a huge blow both physically and mentally, and she has lost the courage to live.
Feng Baiyi told Xia Qing about his concerns, and Xia Qing also knew that Jiang Yuexue was still young after all, and being framed by the person she trusted the most was not a big blow to her.
"Let's get her out first, maybe she's willing to go with us, so that we can take care of her" Xia Qing didn't know if it was self-comfort or other deep meaning. Anyway, Feng Baiyi didn't understand.
Feng Baiyi looked at Xia Qing's eyes, and a slight trace of helplessness flashed across his face, so he gently stroked Xia Qing's pretty face. said to Xia Qing in an extremely firm tone: "Senior sister, don't worry, your business is my business, and my business is also your business." Let's help each other, okay?" Feng Baiyi realized the ugliness and greed of the human heart in just half a month, and he no longer had any interest in the power between people.
"Senior brother, what are you talking about" Xia Qing was slightly coquettish, and her face couldn't help but turn red. In the dark night, Feng Baiyi didn't really see it, but he could feel the faint heat on Xia Qing's face.
Feng Baiyi took Xia Qing's hand, and through the gap in the grass, Feng Baiyi saw Jiang Yuexue tied to the banner again. His mood also seemed a little complicated, and he didn't want such a girl to die like this.
"Senior sister, do you know how many night guards there are on the city wall of Donglinguan?" Feng Baiyi buried his head and thought about it, and still asked Xia Qing beside him softly.
Xia Qing lowered her head and thought about it, and she replied with some uncertainty: "I vaguely remember that it seems that there were originally 50,000 troops guarding the East Linguan. It seems that there have been rumors recently that most of the troops in the East Linguan have entered the territory of the feudal country, and now it seems that the army in the Donglin Pass should not exceed 10,000 people, plus the situation of rotation, there should be only 5,000 people in the city at most, and the army on the city tower should not exceed 1,000 people, maybe there is a chance to rescue Jiang Yuexue. ”
Feng Baiyi nodded lightly, and the two of them held each other's hands tightly and stopped talking. After a while, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing felt the whiteness of the dawn around them, and gradually covered their bodies.
