Chapter 138: Let You Four Arrows
With the mountain gate as the boundary, Xiao Huaijin and Bai Xiuzi are confronting each other, and the bloody battle at the foot of the mountain with a remote artistic conception seems to be about to break out.
A cold arrow burst out and pierced the tranquility before the wind and rain fell, and the arrow shot off Bai Xiuzi's mask, and a blood mark was drawn on his face, revealing his clean and clear eyes.
Everyone was very surprised, and they all looked up at the incense not far away.
Following the direction from which the arrow came, Xiao Huaijin looked back at a red shadow on the hill, she held the bow and rode on the horse, the corners of her red skirt flew up, and her eyes looked very blank, only staring at Bai Xiuzi.
"Lord Wang, there seems to be something wrong with the princess."
Needless to say, Xiao Huaijin also felt that something was wrong with Wanxiang: "Send her back." ”
Ke Wanxiang pulled the reins and ran down to block in front of Xiao Huaijin, staring at Bai Xiuzi with a cold expression: "General Bai, don't come unharmed." ”
"Thanks to the princess, everything is fine." At this moment, Bai Xiuzi didn't know why Wanxiang shot at him with an arrow, so he heard her ask: "Is it really you?" ”
"I was ordered to ......"
Without waiting for Bai Xiuzi to finish speaking, Wanxiang touched the quiver on the horse's back and aimed at Bai Xiuzi's three arrows.
Fortunately, Bai Xiuzi was astute, turned over and dodged Wanxiang's arrow, and landed firmly on the ground.
This move was beyond everyone's expectations, she just sat on the back of the horse like that, looked at Bai Xiuzi with an expressionless face and asked, "Your iron mask, didn't you fall into the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?" ”
Bai Xiuzi looked up suddenly, and then saw that she had jumped off the horse. Those eyes with tears really made him feel familiar.
The soldiers who followed behind Bai Xiuzi were about to rush up when they saw Wanxiang making a move, but Bai Xiuzi knew that she was not a killer, so he raised his hand and signaled the people who were about to rush up behind him to retreat.
I heard her say: "I forgot to tell you, my surname is Li, after Wan Poison Li, the youngest daughter of Poison Zun." ”
Seeing Bai Xiuzi, he was still puzzled, and Wanxiang explained with a smile: "It was my father who was beheaded by you back then. ”
"You...... Are you the girl standing on the altar? ”
"The first time the general saw me, it looked familiar, and I thought it was just a way for you to joke with women. Now I know, we've really met.
Ten years ago, you killed my parents and relatives for the emperor, and ten years later, you will kill my husband for the emperor. The world is so big, General Bai really loves me and can't get along. ”
Her words were cold, her eyes were blank, and she stood in front of Bai Xiuzi and was not so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Originally, the two armies faced each other, and the appearance of Juanxiang made the situation delicate. Xiao Huaijin's dead soldiers and Bai Xiuzi's soldiers couldn't advance if they wanted to, and they couldn't retreat.
Fearlessly, she walked over to the hostile side and picked up the iron mask on the ground. Xiao Huaijin behind him was so nervous, for fear that they would suddenly hold down the incense, hold their breath and clench the sword in their hands.
And Wanxiang held the iron mask in her hand and didn't know how to go back. Suddenly, he smiled: "General Bai, what do you have to explain about this iron mask?" ”
Bai Xiuzi still hasn't figured out how to accept the reality of Wanxiang is after Wan Poison Li's clan. still killed her parents with her own hands, and she actually went to Beixun to ask her for marriage.
At this moment, she should hate herself for poisoning, and she can't wait to peel her skin and cramp.
The more beautiful the smile was, the more Bai Xiuzi felt heart-piercing.
"Akika, I don't know ......"
"Presumably, General Bai has nothing to explain." After speaking, she stepped on the horse and threw Bai Xiuzi's iron face to the ground: "I gave you four arrows just now, no matter how many times you saved me before, from now on you and I will break off." Goodbye to you, either you die or I die. ”
After speaking, he turned his horse and returned to Xiao Huaijin's side, looking like he was living and dying with him.
Bai Xiuzi knelt on one knee and picked up the iron mask on the ground, recalling his young and vigorous self ten years ago, and led his troops to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave for the first time to see killing as glory.
I never thought that I would fall in love with Wanxiang who escaped from my knife ten years later, I always complained that it was too late to meet her, but I never thought that I met her before Xiao Huaijin.
It turned out that she really killed her parents and relatives, and now she came to kill her husband? However, he didn't want to do this, but he had to be loyal to the emperor's order.
But holding the mask and raising his eyes to look at the two figures in the distance, one black and one red, whether to enter or not to enter has become the most difficult choice Bai Xiuzi has ever made.
If you don't enter, you will be unfaithful, and if you enter, you will hurt her. Thinking of those eyes with tears in his eyes, Bai Xiuzi couldn't help but cover his heart, and he said to the deputy general behind him: "Withdraw the troops." ”
"What?"
"Withdraw your troops!"
In this way, Xiao Huaijin and Wanxiang watched Bai Xiuzi withdraw from Hawkbeak Peak.
Whether he felt sorry or something else, the purpose of the incense was achieved.
After that, Bai Xiuzi pretended to attack Eagle's Beak Peak several times, and each time it seemed that he deliberately left a flaw for Xiao Huaijin.
And the news of Bai Xiuzi's defeat to Xiao Huaijin several times was reported back to the imperial city, and everyone thought that Xiao Huaijin was too difficult to deal with.
The court has different opinions on Xiao Huaijin's affairs, and some people have questioned the strangeness, but Bai Xiuzi is so 'leaky' that people can't find flaws.
At night, Xiao Huaijin couldn't find the figure of the incense, so she took her coat and walked to the courtyard, and when she looked up, she was sitting on the roof looking at the moon, just like when she first arrived in the imperial city.
Xiao Huaijin climbed up the ladder on the side, sat down next to Wanxiang, put on her coat and admonished: "It's cool in the mountains. ”
Wanxiang looked at Xiao Huaijin beside her and laughed: "The prince is done?" ”
"As soon as I raised my eyes, the person was gone, I was afraid that you would sneak down the mountain, so hurry up and come out to see."
She pleaded her chin and said, "The moon in the mountains looks closer." ”
"The view here is really better than the Imperial City. However, the Eagle's Beak Peak is steep, and when the wind and snow stir the whole valley in winter, it is even more difficult to move an inch, and there are often wild beasts. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it then. ”
"I'm not as squeamish as the prince thought." Wanxiang hugged Xiao Huaijin's arm, leaned into his arms, looked at the moon and smiled very reassuringly: "I don't know why I can always think of Ling Zhao these days."
I remember that when she hadn't entered the palace yet, I was looking for the palace to see the prince's bedroom on the roof. In this way, Ling Zhao enters the mansion, and I can peek into the prince's cave room. ”
"Peeking into my cave?" Xiao Huaijin pinched Wanxiang's face: "What are you thinking about in your little head?" ”
"So what can I do? At that time, I was just a subordinate, and I couldn't say it even if I didn't want to. ”
"That's a lot of nonsense." Xiao Huaijin leaned his chin on the head of the incense: "Obviously, you had to ask me to marry Ling Zhao." ”
"Do you think I want to? Isn't it because the emperor's order is difficult to disobey? But I never thought that the prince would let such a big beauty stay alone in the empty room and run out to watch the moon with me. ”
"Sounds like you're disappointed."
Wanxiang hung her head and didn't speak, her two small hands held Xiao Huaijin's big hand tightly, and she smirked at the moon with satisfaction.
In the yard, Qi'er held a pair of freshly made shoes, looked at the two people on the roof, and couldn't help but clench the black shoes and turned back to the room.
After a long while, Wanxiang suddenly said: "If I impulsively killed Bai Xiuzi that day, the prince would really become a sinner through the ages." ”
"He saved you, and he should be let go."
"He's only saved me a few times, and how many lives can he take under his knife? I am a little woman who doesn't know what 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy' is, and I don't know how to repay kindness.
Unlike Bai Xiuzi, he is a person who is greatly constrained by rules, as long as he feels guilty, it will be good for us. ”
"So you hurried down the mountain that day to punish your heart?"
Wanxiang lowered her eyes and smiled: "My parents and relatives have been gone for many years, even if I really kill Bai Xiuzi, it won't help, I care more about the days to come." ”
"Speaking of the days to come, the imperial city sent someone to say that the emperor felt that there were many suspicious points and intended to call me back to the imperial city to retry the unjust case."
This sounds like a good thing, but Wanxiang is still very vigilant in her heart: "Then what do you say about raising the dead?" ”
"Bai Xiuzi played, saying that the emperor had never sent soldiers to me, and I used to live in Eagle's Beak Peak, and it is not an exaggeration to recruit soldiers here."
"It's really a good calculation, give General Gao a secret edict to kill you and frame you for rebellion. Seeing that your fate is big, Bai Xiuzi is in a stalemate with you again, so he turned his head and looked for someone else to take the blame? ”
Juanxiang's face overflowed with disdain: "Retrial? I'm afraid that the little emperor thinks that everyone in the world is as stupid as him? It should be the queen mother's poisonous woman's trick, wanting to trap the prince.
Speaking of that poisonous woman, it was really cheap for her to let her live for so long. ”
