"Squeak-", the city gate has not been opened for a long time, and suddenly it opens, and the voice is sluggish and dull, like a long moldy age, being pushed and torn apart by wisps.

Outside the city, there were many knives and guns, and the silver spear heads were like cold mist, covering the mountains and mountains far and near. An Qingxu raised his eyes, and the densely packed Shi soldiers and horses had formed a tight array between the criss-crossing. Shi Siming had a vicious battle with **, but he didn't lose the main force!

At the front of the array, the flags were unfurled, and several generals drove their horses around, and they were all overjoyed to see the city gate open. However, one of the medium-sized young generals was overjoyed and angry, turned over and dismounted, knelt down from a distance, and said: "The minister Shi Chaoyi greets the emperor!" My father knelt down in the tent to welcome the emperor, and the emperor please—"

Shi Chaoyi is Shi Siming's eldest son, at this time, knowing that An Qingxu is difficult to fly, he actually performed this big gift, which is really a complete effort. Even Shen Zhuzhu, who was behind An Qingxu, felt that this person was scheming, able to bend and stretch, and should not be underestimated. It is said that Shi Siming only prefers his youngest son Chaoqing, and although Shi Chaoyi has repeatedly made military exploits, he is still not happy. This time he went to Yecheng to "rescue" An Qingxu, Shi Siming left Chaoqing to guard Lao Fanyang, but sent Chaoyi to fight in the front, which can be described as extremely eccentric. Given time, Shi Chaoyi may not be the second An Qingxu.

An Qingxu sneered: "Such a big formation awaits me, King Shi has a heart!" The so-called "Shi Wang" refers to Shi Siming.

Shi Chaoyi was afraid of An Qingxu's martial arts at the beginning, and he was afraid that he would lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yecheng to kill the generals, but at this time, he saw that there were less than 100 attendants behind An Qingxu, and secretly snickered and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, my father Qiancheng is slow to save the car, and the recurrence of foot disease cannot be driven in person." With one hand pressing the sword and the other behind his back, he made a five-finger clenching gesture towards the soldiers behind him, which meant that when An Qingxu and his party walked into the array, they would preemptively take it.

An Qingxu rode his horse and wanted to go, but he didn't look back, but he ordered in a deep voice: "Don't send her to the side quickly!" ”

The four guards had already surrounded Shen Pearl in the center, and Shen Pearl was riding a horse with extremely strong feet. Listening to An Qingxu's order, one of the guards urged in a low voice: "Madam, let's go quickly." Pulling the reins of the horse, the people and horses slowly walked a few steps to the side, Shi Siming's soldiers and horses are facing Yecheng, Yecheng in addition to the main road There are two paths, one to the north, leading to the sorrowful Gang, one to the south, just along the road through Pingzhou, Yangzhou, until Wuxing, they can only escape from the south path over the mountains.

An Qingxu Huo Ran shook his head, the horsewhip in his hand flew like a long snake, and hit the buttocks of a guard's mount with a "snap", "Hurry up!" His voice was short and resolute, and the horse rushed out neighing and leading, and then the four horsemen galloped out with great vigor.

Shen Pearl hurriedly looked back, but An Qingxu didn't look back, and crossed his horse into the enemy camp. From a distance, I heard Shi Chaoyi's voice very loud and very righteous and awe-inspiring: "An Qingxu killed his father and killed his brother, the crime is heinous, everyone will be punished - all the soldiers - quickly take him down-" Before the words fell, I heard a scream of "ah-", as if an one of An Qingxu's guards had been cut off the horse, and then there was a series of screams, An Qingxu's long sword swung away, and the person turned on his horse, stirring up a rain of blood.

Shen Pearl turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it again.

An Qingxu is a martial artist again, how can he be against thousands of troops?

Someone behind him shouted: "That must be An Qingxu's family, don't let her run away!" - "Suddenly more than a dozen horsemen chased after him. The two guards bent their bows and arrows, shot the people and the horses first, and the few horses chasing in front fell to the ground, just blocking the way of the following horses, and the action was slightly blocked, Shen Pearl and other five horsemen jumped into the trail by taking advantage of the momentum, and temporarily pulled the pursuers down a distance.

The March wind was cold and cold, with the bitter smell of the mountains and trees, and the pain on the face was like a split.

Shen Pearl galloped wildly, and the sound of killing in a trance was endless.

The killing between people can never be stopped.

She can only gallop wildly, hoping that this run will not stop, and in this endless running, she can annihilate thinking, annihilate the past, the future, and time.

"Look, look!"

A guard suddenly shouted beside him.

She and the four guards involuntarily stopped their horses.

In the northeast direction, a fierce smoke rose into the sky, burning half of the sky like a red glow, and there was a tragic tragedy.

How far is it from Yecheng? The sound of slashing and slashing still came far away, like a flood rushing, like a thunderclap, rolling among the mountains, shaking into the distance. This battle will be incomparably fierce, although it is better than the few enemies and the weak ones stronger.

The five of them froze, listening to the slashing sound getting weaker and weaker, getting lower and lower......

The fire was rushing to the sky, and the smoke was billowing into the dust, and the fire should have burned for days and nights.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! - "The screaming guard from earlier cried and rolled down and dismounted, kneeling and bowing in the direction of Yecheng.

The other three guards also dismounted and bowed.

Shen Pearl raised his head and looked at it, and his heart was cold.

Don't do it, An Qingxu.

If there is an afterlife, I would rather you always be the second brother An on the boat by the Taihu Lake.

Or, I'd rather never know you.

You never fell into the lake, I never saved you, and Li Li never saved me.

Life is a chain, interconnected.

We are all only a weak link. When we are young, we all think that we can change the world, but all we can change is ourselves.

"Madame, get on your horse, let's get out of here quickly!" I don't know how long later, a guard pulled the reins of the horse to Shen Zhu.

The four guards had all wiped away the tears from their faces, and their expressions were extremely resolute. Although their master is dead, it has strengthened their determination to complete the task left behind.

Shen Pearl nodded at them, got on his horse, urged the reins, trampled the trail on five horses, crossed the dense forest, and rushed forward like a gallop.

After walking for more than half an hour, the path gradually became more spacious, and one of the guards was familiar with the terrain, and said in a loud voice: "After this mountain, there is an official road in front of you——"

"Big brother, be careful!" A guard next to him reminded loudly.

It was too late, it was too soon, and suddenly a whistle sounded like it had been torn in the air, and in an instant, a powerful arrow burst through the air like lightning, piercing the head of the guard with precision. The guard didn't have time to snort, and immediately dismounted.

At the same time, the guards who reminded loudly had fitted up, knocked Shen Pearl down and dismounted, rolled several times in a row, and the other two guards also turned over and dismounted to dodge, and the arrows on both sides rushed down like a torrential rain, shooting straight into the mud on the ground and the trunks of trees, and many arrows collided in the air and fell one after another.

It took a while for the sides of the ridge to stop firing arrows. A clear and arrogant shout came: "Which of you is An Qingxu in disguise, stand up and die!" ”

Shen Pearl was stunned, and when she heard the voice, it turned out to be Zhang Hanruo.

Sure enough, I saw the figures on the left side of the mountain ridge moving, and dozens of archers had already stood up from their hiding places, but they were still aiming with arrows, ready to attack. After a while, the figure moved again, like a flower whisking willows, giving up a person with a full set of armor on his body, and the brilliance was like milk vetch, it was Zhang Hanruo.

It turned out that although he failed to fight against Shi Siming, Zhang Hanruo was bent on killing An Qingxu to take revenge, and after fleeing to the lack of a door with Guo Ziyi, he privately returned to Yecheng with more than 1,000 people and horses. She didn't dare to alarm Shi Siming's army, and still learned the practice of guerrilla warfare in the suburbs of Chang'an back then, and hid near Yecheng. Seeing that Shi Siming surrounded Yecheng, he thought that An Qingxu must think of escaping, if he wanted to escape, the cities facing north would either be occupied by **, or robbed by Shi Siming, and he could only go south from the south mountain road, so he arranged an ambush in advance. Today, she also heard the sound of fighting in Yecheng, and knew that Shi Siming had started a war with An Qingxu, so she snickered in her heart, just waiting for An Qingxu to enter the urn. Fang saw Shen Pearl and the other five horsemen rushing over, and the four guards were all dressed in An Qingxu's soldiers and horses, thinking that An Qingxu was also among them, and hurriedly released arrows to stop them.

Shen Zhuzhu's mind moved slightly, and he guessed Zhang Hanruo's thoughts, and in order to save the lives of the remaining three guards, he hurriedly took the lead in standing up: "General Zhang, don't let go of the arrow, it's me!" ”

Zhang Hanruo was taken aback when he saw Shen Pearl at first sight, and squeezed his hand, not allowing his subordinates to release arrows at will: "Shen ...... Miss Gao, why are you here? ”

Shen Pearl said: "I escaped from the melee in Yecheng. ”

Zhang Hanruo's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "That's good!" After you were captured, General Guo Ziyi was very upset, and kept thinking about how to save you. Fortunately, you have escaped on your own! His eyes turned to the three guards, and there was a chill in his eyes: "You three, what are you doing?" ”

One of the guards was filled with grief and indignation because his brother was suddenly killed by an arrow, and he said: "If you want to kill, you will kill, I-" Before he finished speaking, Shen Pearl had lightly pressed his arm and whispered: "If you want to punish him for a moment of anger and let the two brothers next to you accompany you to die, you just have to talk and shout." The guard looked left and right, his face flushed, and finally he bit his lip and silenced him.

Shen Pearl said to Zhang Hanruo: "The three of them helped me escape from Yecheng, and I hope the general will not pursue it." ”

Zhang Hanruo thought about it for a moment before saying, "Okay, for Miss Gao's sake, I'll let the three of you go for the time being." Then he raised his voice and asked, "Where does Miss Gao plan to go in the future?" Do you want me to send someone to escort you? ”

Shen Pearl smiled, raised his head and said to Zhang Hanruo on the mountain: "Where you come from, go wherever you go." With these three brothers escorting me on a ride, the general doesn't have to worry. ”

Zhang Hanruo nodded, and was about to say something more, when suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is there still someone coming behind?" ”

Shen Pearl was silent, and sure enough, she heard the sound of "Dada" horses' hooves coming from the trail behind her, guessing that it was Shi Siming's subordinates who were chasing her, and said, "It must be the one who is chasing and killing us!" ”

Zhang Han smiled bitterly: "With us here, take care of the capture and kill!" ”

As she spoke, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and two horses galloped from the depths of the trail and leaped into her eyes. She stared at the horse and looked at the man carefully, and she couldn't help but "pout" in her mouth.

Shen Pearl looked at the past and saw it even more clearly, these two people were both dressed in black clothes, stained with blood, one was Fengshengyi, and the other was Chen Zhou.

Feng Shengyi was so alert, he stopped early, his eyes were like electricity shining directly at Zhang Hanruo, and he looked at Zhang Hanruo, and they were stunned by each other.

Zhang Hanruo sneered loudly: "It turned out to be Lord Feng, the Lord is not the director of the Criminal Department, and he came all the way to Yecheng, what is his duty!" ”

Feng Shengyi did not show weakness, and said lightly: "General Zhang did not follow General Guo's orders, but he actually stationed his own troops here, where is the military law?" ”

Zhang Hanruo was angry for a while. But she did violate the military law, this weakness is much worse than Feng Shengyi's unauthorized departure, thought about it, and said: "The two of you are from Yecheng, do you know that An Qingxu is dead?" ”

Feng Shengyi also took the opportunity to change the topic: "The thief has dozens of swords in his body, and he has exhausted his blood. ”

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Shen Pearl specially sent him to send a "letter" to Guo Ziyi in order to preserve Feng Shengyi. After Guo Ziyi got the letter, he acted according to the plan, put sweat medicine in Fengsheng clothes and tea, and tied up and temporarily detained in the army after the medicine was poured. However, in a big battle on the sixth day of the first month, Guo Ziyi's army was defeated, and when he retreated, the guards who escorted Feng Shengyi took it upon themselves to untie the ropes, and Feng Shengyi sneaked to Yecheng to save Shen Zhu, just in time for Shi Siming and An Qingxu's fierce battle today. And Chen Zhou saw that An Qingxu was about to fall, Shi Siming was about to enter Yecheng, and the big thing was no longer possible, so he took advantage of the chaos of the battle, escaped from the city on horseback, and was in the same place with Feng Shengyi. In the chaos, the two saw Shen Pearl fleeing from the southern path, so they also followed, and by the way, they slashed and killed many pursuers, otherwise with the speed of Shen Pearl and his party of five, they would have already been caught up by the group of pursuers who were eager to grab merit, where could they be so quiet.

Chen Zhou had already seen Shen Zhuzhu, jumped off the horse, and opened his mouth to meet him. Shen Pearl had already said to Zhang Hanruo: "The little girl Gao Yueming has bid farewell to the general!" ”

Zhang Hanruo heard that An Qingxu was dead, and his heart was in turmoil, he was happy that his father's and brother's revenge had been avenged, but he also regretted that he could not personally kill An Qingxu, and then remembered that he and An Qingxu were also childhood sweethearts.

Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, and then an arrow step blocked in front of Shen Zhuzhu, and he glanced at Feng Shengyi again and again, and said in a low voice: "She...... Can't go, His Majesty and the Hui Khan are looking for her. ”

Feng Shengyi glanced at Chen Zhou quietly, only to feel that Chen Zhou had been a big disappointing person since Feng Xiang lost his position and became a crime: first, he made great contributions to capture Yecheng, but he actually asked her to poison An Qingxu regardless of Shen Zhuzhu's life; Now, because after Shen Zhuzhu disappeared, the emperor and the Hui Khan were bent on looking for it, and they wanted to make another contribution, which was really lustful.

He frowned slightly and said, "Haven't you heard, her name is Gao Yueming?" Said to Shen Zhuzhu: "Madame, hurry up and get on the road, otherwise it will be late and it will be difficult to cast the stack." ”

Chen Zhou's eyes widened and stared at Feng Shengyi, angry and hateful. But he knew that he was not Feng Shengyi's opponent, so he could only swallow this breath for the time being.

Shen Pearl smiled and nodded, and whispered to Feng Shengyi, "Thank you, my lord." ”

Her smile was still something he didn't dare to look at directly, watching her slowly turn her head, the dust and mist of the mountains were shining through a thin layer of sunlight, and the outline of the side was covered with a layer of golden, so gorgeous, as if she was a rose-trimmed colored cloud, Feng Shengyi's heart throbbed slightly, and he said: "Madame, polite, it's just ...... Just look at ......" The words were whispering in his mouth, Shen Pearl felt strange, and turned his head to listen to him.

He was taken aback and continued, "Just look ...... Don't blame Madame after she leaves...... He ......"

He said it vaguely, but Shen Pearl still understood. She greeted the thin layer of sunlight, closed her eyes, and slowly opened them, as if talking to herself, and as if whispering to Feng Shengyi: "I will try my best to forget everything, I am Gao Yueming." ”

……

She's gone.

The mountains in the distance, bathed in the afterglow of the remnant sun, seem to be painted with a layer of lacquer, and they are even more brilliant in the upright and grandiose. There was a wisp of cooking smoke swaying in the evening breeze, intermittent, hazy, and vague.
