Chapter 69
It was another sunset, Chu Muxiu stood on the top of the mountain not far away, couldn't help frowning, looking down at his royal tent, looking at his army coming and going, Chu Muxiu felt that this battle was the most difficult battle he had fought for so many years; He looked up at the red half of the sky, remembered me, remembered all our things, he felt sorry for me, sorry for my father.
In the days that followed, they didn't ask anyone to tie me up, but they still kept me in a tent, which was heavily guarded by heavy soldiers.
I sat outside the tent with my hands in my hands, and my heart gradually began to be afraid, even more afraid than I used to be sold to a black shop to make human meat buns. I longed for Chu Muxiu to save me and hoped that he wouldn't come, if he didn't come to save me, then I would definitely be killed by the Xiliang people or brought back to Xiliang, then wouldn't I never be able to go back to Huancheng for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't see him for the rest of my life?
I cautiously opened a curtain, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit my face, making me feel a little dazzling, I hadn't seen the sunset in Huancheng for a long time.
The border is located in the north, surrounded by mountain air, the air is better than Huancheng, and this sunset is also better than the red of Huancheng than that of Huancheng, looking at it reminds me of Chu Muxiu, maybe he is watching it like me at this moment. But thinking about it, he must have racked his brains for the war now, and how dare he sneak into the sunset.
I look at this half of the sky, what a beautiful evening! But now it became filthy little by little, and then dimmed, until at last I couldn't reach out of my fingers......
I have always felt that Chu Muxiu and I are not from the same world, he has his ambitions and ambitions, but I can't do anything when I'm idle all day long, and the reckless and strong will only hold him back. But I think as long as we are together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. When I think of that naΓ―ve me, I just think it's ridiculous. We are like chicks struggling in the rain, and our future is left to fate. Maybe it's really only when everyone around us leaves us that we realize how selfish we are.
Early the next morning, Shen Linxiao opened the tent, and I saw that he had already put on an ironclad suit. I know, it must be Chu Muxiu who is here, what is a shock in my heart, I don't know what will happen next, is it me who dies? Chu Muxiu died? Or did Shen Lin Xiao die?
Shen Linxiao got carried away and said to me: "You are really a useful chess piece. β
I opened my mouth and muttered to myself, "Chess pieces? β
Yes, I've always been someone else's pawn, and after this use, it's my turn to use that one, and I never thought that I would live so miserably.
Shen Linxiao tied my hand and escorted me to sit on the horse, and walked with his army to the border gate, where Tianyue's army was already waiting. I saw Qianche, Lu Huai, and Wu Deqing, but I didn't expect Mo'er to come with me, she was about to cry when she saw me open her mouth. I looked at everyone, and finally glanced at Chu Muxiu, he was sitting on the horse in front of their army, and behind him were thousands of troops, except that his face was a little sleepy, he was still as majestic and high-spirited as before. It was the middle of winter when he left, and it was warm spring when we saw each other again.
We hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, and such an encounter was something I didn't expect, and I had an indescribable feeling when I suddenly looked at him like this. And the way he looked at me was so painful, so sad, maybe he felt sorry for me, maybe he felt sorry for me.
I never dreamed that we would meet again in such a situation, and when we met again, he was on Tianyue's side, and I was on Xiliang's side, as if we would always be on opposite sides.
Chu Muxiu turned his gaze to Shen Linxiao and shouted at him, "Shen Linxiao, what is it to hold a woman hostage, you release me immediately, what is coming at me!" β
Shen Lin Xiao dismounted and walked to the front and joked: "His Royal Highness King Yi must calm down, as long as Tianyue sends troops to my Xiliang, I guarantee that she will be unscathed." β
"Joke, how can I, a great country in the sky, surrender troops to you Xiliang, even if I die on the battlefield, I can't be a deserter!"
Shen Linxiao smiled: "Okay, there is backbone!" β
After saying that, he turned around and pulled me off the horse, pulled me in front of him and put a long sword on my neck, "Her life is in my hands now, if you don't want to surrender, then wait to collect her body!" β
I saw Chu Muxiu's horse take a few steps forward, he was really panicked, but I didn't want to struggle anymore, I was like a puppet at the mercy of Shen Linxiao, I didn't care about my life for a long time, even if I died here today, I had nothing to be unwilling about.
The war horse under Chu Muxiu's body walked back and forth, and finally pulled out his sword and pointed at Shen Linxiao, "If you dare to move a finger of her, I want you to be doomed, life is better than death, let the entire Xiliang accompany you to the funeral!" β
I've never seen him go crazy with anger, not even when Taifu died. After listening to what he said, my heart suddenly sank, in fact, I knew that he really loved me, but I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Shen Linxiao leaned into my ear and said softly, "It seems that you are very important." β
I squinted at him and didn't speak.
"His Royal Highness King Yi has a big breath, then I want to see who is giving whom to bury whom, I don't bother to talk to you, I will ask you one last sentence whether you will descend or not?"
Chu Muxiu was angry and anxious, his mouth was open but he couldn't speak. I knew he didn't want the people to suffer, and that it was better for him to die than to surrender. He could have had no worries, but I always became a stumbling block for him, and it was really painful to see him struggle with not being able to make decisions. I remember that when I was held hostage by the masked man, I was really scared, and I really wanted Chu Muxiu to save me, but this time I begged him not to save me again. If he had saved me today, I wouldn't have had a good time. I'm really not that great, and I don't deserve to sacrifice so many lives.
I don't want to be a selfish person anymore, thinking of this, I shouted at the other side, "Chu Muxiu, don't worry about me, don't fall for his scheme!" β
My words didn't seem to affect Chu Muxiu, he still didn't speak, and I shouted to Lu Huai, who turned his face, "Lu Huai, don't save me!" β
They didn't say anything, they just looked at me in unison.
"If you are long-winded, I will pierce her neck with a sword!"
"Shoot your arrows!"
I shouted a few words Shen Linxiao became impatient, and pressed the sword towards my neck again, my body trembled, and I closed my eyes suddenly, faintly feeling some pain in my neck, probably oozing blood.
Chu Muxiu stretched out his hand and tried to stop Shen Linxiao, "Don't, don't mess around." β
When I opened my eyes, I found that Chu Muxiu had been looking at me intentionally or unintentionally, and he was making eye contact with me.
"It's not up to me to decide whether to surrender or not, behind me are Tianyue's soldiers, they follow me all the way to the border to fight, if they go back on the charge of desertion, how do you tell them to meet people?"
Chu Muxiu said to Shen Linxiao while looking at me, he was trying to distract him and give me a chance to escape.
"A man's mother-in-law, mother-in-law, we Xiliang people are not like you Tianyue."
"If I fall, can you guarantee that we will all get out?"
The sword in Shen Linxiao's hand gradually left my neck, I took a few deep breaths, my heart jumped to my throat, and in a panic, I secretly glanced at Chu Muxiu again, and he signaled me not to be afraid. As soon as I closed my eyes and bit my teeth, I bit Shen Linxiao's arm hard.
"Do you think His Highness Xiliang is necessary...... Yes! β
As soon as I bit him, he let go completely, and as soon as I let go, I ran to the opposite side.
Seeing that I ran away, Shen Linxiao was ashamed and hateful, and turned his head and shouted, "Give me arrows!" β
I was just running, and suddenly I turned around, and there were thousands of flying arrows behind me. The arrow flew very fast, straight and sharp, and it flew towards me. It was as if there was no one around me, I couldn't see them, they couldn't see me, I stood still, my eyes were full of arrows, it was so close to me, it seemed to pierce my eyes in an instant, and in an instant I would pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows.
A dart suddenly sprang out from behind me, and the dart passed through my eyelashes and hit the arrow in front of me, and I lost my mind, and I didn't dare to run for a moment, and my body collapsed and fell to the ground. There was a black ball of flying arrows on my head, and I didn't dare to raise my head, for fear that if I looked up, ten thousand arrows would pierce my heart.
It turns out that I am still so afraid of death.
The arrow really couldn't be released, and one hand pulled me up, and I looked up at him, and his brow was very wrinkled, and his face was blown with sand from the wind. I couldn't speak, he said lightly to me not to be afraid, and then pulled me on the horse. Behind us were a dense array of arrows, and he used his body to block behind me, as if the arrows were gone, and the horses were running and trampling, but my heart was more secure than ever.
As soon as we returned to the camp, the people of Xiliang couldn't wait, and the whole army attacked us. He hurriedly unmounted me, and before he could even look at me, he rushed to the front again.
Mo'er ran over and said while helping me untie the rope in my hand, "God forbid, Miss is finally fine." β
Maybe it's been tied for so long that I've almost forgotten the rope on my hand. I saw these two armies, hundreds of thousands of people riding horses and surging together in an instant, it was really a black oppression, Chu Muxiu rushed into it, and I couldn't find him at once.
They are holding sharp swords in their hands, and the swords and guns on the battlefield are not long-sighted, I have to say that I am still afraid in my heart.
"Miss, they haven't done anything to you these days, your neck has a lot of blood, I'll help you wipe it!"
"Where's Xuanwu?" I asked Mo'er.
"He's all right, he's in the king's tent now."
"Oh...... Ah. "Mo'er wiped the blood on my neck with a handkerchief, and accidentally touched my hand, and my hands were all rope prints, one red and one black.
Mo'er saw my arm and cried again: "They are too bad-hearted, how can they treat you like this......"
"It's okay, it's just a little skin injury, just rub some medicine."
