Chapter 250: Lonely Soldiers
I saw the crowd silently making a way, thinking that the long-bearded old man with a single crutch walked to the horse with his sleeves, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "My name is Ma San, and I have lived in this beggar village for the longest time. ”
Huai Sleeve took off the purse around his waist, and together with the purse of the crescent moon, he possessed it and handed it to Ma San, and said in a gentle tone: "Uncle, we accompanied the princess to pass by here today, these are all the silver we have on our bodies, all the money we have on our bodies, all of them will be handed over to you, buy some food for everyone to eat!" ”
The three horses received the heavy silver purse in their hands, and with tears in their eyes excited, they knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Long live the princess, long live the princess...... long live the princess" The beggars behind him saw him like this, and they also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.
The crescent moon princess never expected that these people were already in distress and could not even guarantee their lives, but they were still full of awe of her, only to see the old and young women and children kneeling on the ground, almost everyone had tears on their faces, and they couldn't help but cry again.
When leaving the beggar village, the crescent moon looked back frequently, and saw the beggars standing at the entrance of the village, staring at the backs of the three of them for a long time, until the village disappeared into the dust raised by the horses' hooves, and disappeared into the vast wilderness......
All the way to the city, the crescent moon was always depressed, and Huai Sleeve knew that she was still indulging in the emotions just now, and she couldn't pull it out for a while, so she let her go.
Passing near Longfu Temple, a burst of fragrant fried roasted wheat rushed into the nose, the crescent moon's stomach suddenly gurgled, the crescent moon raised its face, looked around, castrated and spit, looked back at the sleeve, and looked at the pitiful eyes in the eyes.
Huai Sleeve knew that she was hungry, spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head helplessly. The crescent moon called Fuquan again and asked, "Do you still have any silver on you?" ”
Fuquan shook his head and said, "It's all for you just now." ”
The crescent moon looked back at Huai Sleeve and smiled bitterly: "It seems that we can only go back to the palace after starvation." The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and rode towards the Forbidden City.
The crescent moon and the sleeves, the three horses of Fuquan went straight into the noon gate, the crescent moon was hungry, and the horses became more and more urgent, and there was no intention of slowing down at the noon gate.
When the guards guarding the door saw three strangers in regular clothes trespassing into the Forbidden City, they had already surrounded them, and the guards led by them shouted: "Hey! What are you doing, dare to trespass on the Imperial City, don't you have a head? ”
When the crescent moon heard this, she reined in her horse, turned around and reprimanded: "Blind your dog's eyes, haven't you seen this princess!" ”
Entering the Forbidden City, Crescent had long forgotten that she was still dressed as a son, and there was no princess honor guard by her side, who would recognize her as a princess.
The leading guard's attitude was also extremely arrogant, and he came up and grabbed the bridle of the crescent horse, and said loudly: "How can the princess be like you, come down to the master!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the crescent moon off his horse.
At this time, Huai Sleeve and Fu Quan were about to step forward to explain, only to see that the crescent moon had raised the horsewhip and whipped it down on the guard's face.
The guards guarding the imperial city, where have I seen anyone dare to play barbarism here on weekdays, even those first-class officials also respectfully dismounted and walked in, I didn't expect that today, I actually met these two boys who didn't know whether to live or die, and they happened to bring the majesty of the tree.
The guard, who was whipped in the face, only felt a hot pain on half of his face, wiped his face hot with his hand, and his anger rushed up even more, shouting: "You dare to beat my master, see how my master cleans you up." So saying, he reached out and grabbed the crescent moon's arm, and tore the crescent moon off the horse.
Huai Sleeve looked at it, worried about hurting the crescent moon, and shouted in his mouth: "Bold minion, don't stop it quickly!" Don't hurt the princess! Then he shouted, and had already flown off his horse, and jumped in front of the crescent moon in a few steps, stretched out his arm to break away from the guard's hand that grabbed the crescent moon.
"Yo he! There are really a few people who are not afraid of death today, everyone give it to me, and catch these two little rabbit cubs! ”
The guard was originally a small head, so when he greeted him, all the guards surrounded about two dozen people, and instantly surrounded the crescent moon sleeve and Fuquan in the middle, and the leader of the "cang" looked out of the waist knife, and the other guards saw him show his guy, and they also drew their knives out of the sheath.
The crescent moon shouted angrily: "You dog dare to show your weapon in front of this princess, see that this princess will not cut off your head." ”
"Hah!" The guard at the head snorted coldly: "If you are a princess, you are still the emperor!" Don't give the master nonsense, look at the guys! As he spoke, he swung his knife and threw himself at the three of them.
Huai Sleeve was afraid that the sword would hurt the crescent moon, so she stood up in front of the crescent moon, she had no blade in her hand at this time, and dealt with the guards with her bare hands.
Crescent Moon and Fuquan originally learned some boxing and kicking with Huai Sleeve, but after all, they were just some skins, and they had no fighting experience, and the other party was so strong that they couldn't resist it for a long time, and gradually showed defeat.
Huai Sleeve only cared about resisting the guards and protecting the crescent moon behind him, but he couldn't take care of Fuquan, he only heard "Oops! With a scream, Fuquan was kicked by a guard in the numb tendon of the ankle joint, half of his body suddenly lost consciousness, and he was kicked in the back.
Huai Sleeve heard Fu Quan's scream, his heart shook suddenly, and when he looked back at the crescent moon princess behind him, he was unaware that a guard drew a knife and stabbed it obliquely, and Huai Sleeve listened to the sound of the wind, and then withdrew to look, and saw that the blade was already in front of him, and hurriedly retreated to dodge, but he didn't hide in time, only heard a "stabbing horn", and the clothes of his arm were cut by the knife The elder cut a hole.
Huai Sleeve didn't want to entangle and fight with these guards, he just wanted to explain things clearly as soon as possible, but at this moment, seeing that this group of guards was actually ruthless, he didn't feel that the willow eyebrows stood sideways, and his anger rose, and he saw a guard waving a knife again, and grabbed the guard's arm with his hand, and poked the guard's tiger's mouth.
The guard only felt that half of his arm was numb, and he could no longer hold the hilt of the knife, so he snatched the knife in his hand.
With weapons, there is little to take into account, not to mention that Huai Sleeve has taught General Ge Jitai since he was a child to pass on the plum blossom knife technique, at this time, a single knife in the hand flies up and down, suddenly before and after, or left and right, when the blade flies, like thousands of plum blossoms blooming in the snow, scorching and dazzling. When he retreated for a return visit, he was like a silver net tightly protected around his body, not revealing a trace of flaws.
Although the group of guards were also trained on weekdays, they were a rabble after all, and they only saw the silver phosphorus flickering in front of them, and they couldn't see where the knife was at all, so they didn't dare to rush forward for a while, for fear of cutting off a piece of meat from the knife in Huai Sleeve's hand, which was not fun.
