Chapter 14: Choice, No Regrets
I raised my hand to open the fox fur, and when I raised my hand, I noticed that I had two reddish thumb prints on both wrists.
My eyes darkened, and I knew that something must have happened last night, and Changsheng had been beaten by Yun Jihan and was silenced.
"Where's the prince's brother?" I got out of bed and looked at Changsheng with cold eyes.
Changsheng shrank his neck, made a clever move, and said: "Back to the little master, last night the Rong army attacked our army, and the master and the Duke of Qi rushed to defend against the enemy overnight."
"What?" I forgot to get angry, "This is coming?" ”
"Yes! Little master! You don't know, the cavalry of the Rong country is simply the nemesis of our country, their horses are not only stronger than our horses, strong endurance, and their cavalry is tall and large, strong in combat, invincible, a few days ago the general was ambushed by them, we killed and injured many soldiers, even the master was injured...... "Changsheng chattered, I couldn't hear it for five points, and my heart was like a mess."
"Brother the prince will turn evil into good fortune."
I said this to Changsheng and to comfort myself. I hope that I have thought too much about myself, Yun Jihan and Qi Guogong have just left the barracks, and it is a coincidence that the people of Rong Guoguo will come to raid, and there will be spies in the army.
I put on a fox fur and went out of the house, this is the inner city, and I can already faintly hear the sound of rushing and killing, which shows that the war is fierce.
"Changsheng, when did the prince's brother leave yesterday?" I asked.
"Just after the second watch." Changsheng said.
It was noon, and I estimated the time, which was twelve or three hours, and I exhaled, and my heart sank.
"Xiu, you go pack your things"
I went back to the house, and with a stiff face, I was going back to the house.
Xiu immediately walked to his room, but Changsheng was stunned:
"Little master...... You! ”
With a "bang", Yuan Liang rushed in with a cat's face, followed by two small soldiers, his face was covered with a mixture of blood and soil, as well as his sweat.
"Yuan Liang! How did you get back? Changsheng asked anxiously, he glanced back at me, and saw that my eyes were indifferent, and his face turned white, he grabbed Yuan Liang's arm and asked eagerly, "Where is the master?" What's wrong with the master? ”
"The master is fine!"
Yuan Liang pulled Changsheng aside and said to me, "Your Highness, the master ordered his subordinates to protect His Highness out of the city!"
I went straight back to the house.
"Wow!"
The moment I closed the door, I saw Changsheng sitting on the ground, crying and crying, and the ghost crying wolf.
Yun Jihan, you'll be fine. I forced my hands not to tremble, straightened myself up, folded the fox fur he had made for me, and carried my sword out of the room. I admit that this is my best chance to get rid of Yun Jihan, this is the border pass, few people know me, and Yun Jihan is in danger at the moment, even if he wins, he has no time to distract himself to find me, and when he has the strength to find me, I will have long been incognito and leave Chengguo.
"Little master! How can we just run away like this? "Although Changsheng followed behind us, there were one hundred and twenty people in his heart who were unwilling to leave.
We rode on the horse together, but Changsheng refused, and was grabbed by Yuan Liang on the back of the horse.
"You let me go! The master is here, and the master is not in me! You are afraid of death! I'm not afraid of death! Changsheng was buckled on his horse by Yuan Liang, and he yelled while being jolted.
"Little master! The master is so good to you! How can you abandon your master! Have you forgotten how the master protected you? ”
Changsheng cried and made trouble, he said, "Little master! Let's go! The slave wants to stay with Ningyuan City and live and die with the master! ”
I could only stop my horse and say to Changsheng, "When did I say I was leaving!"
Changsheng was stunned, wiped away his tears, and burst into laughter.
Yuan Liang was stunned, and he said: "Your Highness, the master ordered his subordinates to escort you out of the city, and his subordinates cannot disobey the master's orders."
"Yuan Liang, take Changsheng out of the city!" When I had finished speaking, I rode away.
Changsheng shouted loudly: "I'll go too, I'll go!" Slaves never leave the city! Little master! Please! ”
He was faithful.
I exhaled, "Then there's nothing more to say."
I can't go, Yun Jihan is Yun Yi's own brother, since I have done Yun Yi, I can't leave so selfishly, otherwise, I'm sorry for Yun Yi. Yun Jihan ordered Yuan Liang to send me out of the city, which means that this time is not a question of winning or not winning, it is a matter of life and death!
Saving my life is important, but I didn't think about killing Yun Ji in the cold, even if I escaped from Chengguo and escaped the phoenix's life, how many times will I be reborn, I must not forgive myself for being greedy for life and afraid of death.
Outside the city, wolf smoke is everywhere. The black clouds are turning ink, and the heavy rain is coming, I feel that this is the realistic version of the black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.
Although the city gate has not been broken, the ladder of the Rong people has been set up on the city wall, and groups of Rong soldiers have climbed the city tower, and under the city, the cavalry team of the Rong State is really invincible. The Chengguo cavalry had been ambushed in the last attack and suffered heavy losses, and now they are even more vulnerable. Looking into the distance, you can see a leopard staring at the back of the enemy camp, and a person is sitting on it, needless to say, this is the enemy commander.
Downstairs in the city, the dense soldiers were tearing the battle, the banner and blood stained my eyes red, I saw the figure I was all too familiar with, he rode a black feather, fighting in the encirclement of the enemy, even if the belly was attacked by the enemy, his face was still resolute and resolute, without a trace of fear. In the past, I only heard the palace people say how heroic Yun Jihan was on the battlefield, and he was an iron general who could not be defeated, but now it seems that his heroic appearance can be described in just a few words!
"This battle will not be lost."
I said firmly.
I don't know if the wind carried my voice away, Yun Jihan actually looked back at the city tower, he saw me at a glance, I smiled at him, but he didn't laugh, the anger in his eyes made the strength in his hand greater, he turned around and cut off the head of a cavalryman with a sword.
Yuan Liang and his guards protected me and Changsheng, and I threw Changsheng into a corner and gave him my sword.
I said to Yuan Liang again: "I don't need you here, go and protect my prince brother."
Yuan Liang wanted to refute me, so I pulled the two guards around me and said, "It's enough to have them."
Yuan Liang still didn't feel at ease, he left a few guards behind him to me, the guards protected me in the center, they fought with the soldiers of Rongguo who climbed the city wall, I stood by the city tower, looking at Yun Jihan in the distance, he seemed to be more fierce than just now, but after a moment, he swept away an enemy army and rushed out of the encirclement just now.
And at this moment, a crack opened in the gate of Ningyuan City, and a man in silver armor and a mask rode out on horseback, he held a long sword in his hand, and ran towards the enemy cavalry who were attacking him one by one, and every time he took a step forward, an enemy soldier fell, and in an instant, he left a long list of enemy corpses behind him.
