Chapter 68: Rushing to Qizhou

()

The bright moon hanging high shone the fear on Gu Hanxuan's face, and he was majestic in armor.

Mu Yunqi rode with him and sat in front of him.

Her thoughts drifted to the bottom of the cliff, imagining what might happen at the bottom of the mountain, hoping that Su Jinyan would survive.

Gu Hanxuan saw that she was speechless all the way, knowing that she must be thinking about the things under the cliff, and said lightly in her ear: "Don't think too much, life and death are fate." ”

Mu Yunqi came back to his senses when he heard the voice and said, "How do you know that I am here?" ”

Gu Hanxuan replied: "Knowing that you didn't escape from the Jinguo military camp, King Yi arranged people outside the Jinguo military camp, originally planned that Nangong He's army would go to rescue you after leaving the barracks, but I never thought that the humane guarding outside the barracks You and a woman rode along this road on horseback." ”

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said, "It's good that I came in time." ”

"Actually, Jinyan won't hurt me, she's kind-hearted and won't really want to kill me." Mu Yunqi said softly.

Gu Hanxuan rested his head on her shoulder, and his hand tightened her into his arms.

Mu Yunqi suddenly remembered the situation on the battlefield and said, "How is King Yi?" ”

"An ambush has been set up in the camp, and King Yi has withdrawn from the camp with a large army, but the battle situation is still unknown."

He remembered that as soon as he received the news tonight, he immediately went to the mountains to find it, and he didn't know what was going on in the army at the moment.

"Let's go, get back to the army as soon as possible." Mu Yunqi said to Gu Hanxuan.

When she mentioned King Yi, she remembered that he had been in this border realm for many years, and maybe he was familiar with the terrain inside the mountain cliffs.

"Okay." Gu Hanxuan grabbed the horse and raised the whip, and the horse galloped forward.

Several men behind him also spurred their horses and followed closely behind.

After two hours of travel, the sky gradually turned into two, and a glimmer of light slowly rose, illuminating the road.

Gu Hanxuan rode his horse all the way and never stopped.

"Where is this going?" Mu Yunqi asked not quite surely.

"Imperial Capital." Gu Hanxuan glanced down at her and continued to whip forward.

She took a deep breath, looked back at him, leaned close to his ear and said, "You said that you would send someone to find Jinyan at dawn?" ”

"After leaving the border boundary, I will bring a letter to Nangong He and ask him to go to the rescue."

Nangong He's woman, of course, should be saved by himself.

Mu Yunqi suddenly became a little excited, and said, "She has been at the bottom of the cliff all night. ”

All night, perhaps the best time to rescue her had been missed.

Gu Hanxuan lowered his head and said, "She has been staying all night, do you think there is still a possibility of being alive?" ”

Mu Yunqi looked at his side and was speechless for a while.

Perhaps, as he said, such a high cliff, there can be no luck at all.

But she just felt sad and guilty in her heart, if she could hold on tighter at that time, maybe Su Jinyan would not have fallen.

Suddenly, she remembered the border war again, could it be that Gu Hanxuan rushed to the border to take herself away?

"You came from the imperial capital just to pick me up?"

"Yes, King Yi sent back the news that you were going to infiltrate the Jinguo military camp, and he knew that no one could persuade you, so he could only send the news back to the imperial capital."

The wind was whistling by very loudly, and Mu Yunqi was a little powerless to speak, so he had to remain silent.

As far as the eye can see, an inn appears in front of you.

A horse neighed, and he reined in and stopped his horse. Slipping off the horse, he reached out and put his arm around Mu Yunqi's waist and hugged her off the horse.

Mu Yunqi looked up, an extremely ordinary inn.

Gu Hanxuan handed the horse to the shadow guard behind him, and led Mu Yunqi to the inn.

There were no guests in the inn, Gu Hanxuan walked to the wooden table in the lobby and sat down, and ordered Xiao Er to serve food and tea.

Mu Yunqi walked to his table and sat down, looked at him and said, "Now that the war is not over, just go back to the imperial capital?" ”

Gu Hanxuan took the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, and poured himself another cup, he picked up the teacup and blew it gently, and after taking a sip of tea, he looked up at her and said, "You and I stay here, and the war is not appropriate." ”

"But you weren't worried about the battle last night?" Mu Yunqi frowned and asked.

Seeing that he was silent, she continued: "At the moment of the crisis in the northern country, you put down the court just to take me back to the palace?" ”

Gu Hanxuan stared straight at her, and after a long time, he said, "It seems that you really don't want to go back to the palace." ”

Mu Yunqi was puzzled for a while, and quickly reacted. How could he really take her back to the palace right now, just to test her.

"Isn't this the way back to the imperial capital?"

"This is the way to Qizhou." His voice was slightly cold, but he quickly drowned it out.

Gu Hanxuan's shadow guard walked in from the direction of the stable, and then sat down on another wooden table.

Mu Yunqi took a sip of the teacup, her eyes looked at the door of the inn, and she didn't dare to look at him.

It seems that he still minded when he heard the conversation between himself and Su Jinyan last night.

"Let's eat something, we have to rush all day's road today, the ninth brother and they have already withdrawn to Qizhou, and they are waiting for us there now."

Gu Hanxuan said calmly, as if he didn't put Fang Cai's unhappiness in his heart.

Mu Yunqi nodded, took the chopsticks and took a few bites.

After a slight rest, several people began to hurry again.

The horses galloped wildly, and the two were silent all the way.

Until night was about to fall, a city could be seen in the distance.

Several people rode their horses into the city, and outside a mansion, King Qing stood on the official road and looked in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

Seeing the figures of Gu Hanxuan and Mu Yunqi appear on the street, he smiled and ran forward to greet the two.

"Fifth brother, you are here." He smiled at Gu Hanxuan on the horse.

Gu Hanxuan turned over and dismounted, and then took Mu Yunqi off the horse.

"How was last night at the front?" He said as he walked into the mansion.

King Qing followed him, "I couldn't help but be ambushed by the Jin army last night, and Nangong He was also hit by an arrow." ”

Gu Hanxuan was walking for a moment, he looked back at Mu Yunqi, only to see her standing behind him, her eyes wandering.

Seeing this, King Qing also looked back and said, "What's wrong with you, sister-in-law?" ”

Mu Yunqi smiled unnaturally, walked towards him, and said, "It's nothing." ”

"Thanks to the imperial sister-in-law for winning this battle, without your Kong Ming lantern, I am afraid that I will not be able to attract the Jin army." He smiled and spoke energetically.

Mu Yunqi raised his eyes and looked at Gu Hanxuan, and said, "Please ask the emperor to send a message to King Yi, ask him to go to the bottom of the cliff to take a look, and let him find Jinyan's body and bury it on the spot." ”

Gu Hanxuan's eyes were calm, and he said, "Okay." ”

Mu Yunqi pulled a far-fetched smile on his side, and said softly to King Qing: "Can you ask the ninth brother to arrange a side room, I'm really tired." ”

From her tone, it was not difficult to hear her exhaustion.

"Yes, I'll take my sister-in-law to the backyard to rest." After speaking, he glanced at Gu Hanxuan, and when he saw that he nodded slightly at him, he led Mu Yunqi to the direction of the backyard.
