89, looking at each other from afar
In public and private, Xuanwu couldn't let Xiao Zhen die, he hugged Han Chong and carried Xiao Zhen to hide in the grass. The five dead soldiers who came with him did not leave, and consciously stayed by Han Chong's side. These five people had the determination to die and wanted to break off for Xiao Zhen.
The Qin soldiers, who were holding torches, had already discovered them, and immediately surrounded them with an order. Han Chong took out a small bottle of medicine from his bosom and poured it against the edge of the mask. The white powder immediately emits a rancid smell when it touches the skin. Han Chong clenched his fists and said nothing, but the five dead soldiers could see that he was enduring severe pain.
After a while, blood began to flow from the edges of the mask. The five dead soldiers all showed expressions of disbelief, they had just seen Han Chong's true face, that face was not as cold as Xiao Zhen, and there was three points of handsomeness in his heroic spirit, which should have been the most popular appearance among women. But he was willing to disfigure his face, and apparently had no intention of leaving alive.
Han Chong looked at the appearance of the five people, guessed that they were also Chu people, and smiled at the corner of his lips, this sharp smile was somewhat similar to Xiao Zhen. He raised the long sword in his hand: "Brothers, we met late in this life, so we can only kill this one together." In the next life, meet early and make contributions! ”
Unlike Xiao Zhen's harsh rule, Han Chong always has an affinity that people can't refuse, making people willing to treat him as a brother.
No one spoke, and all five drew their swords from their waists. This is the last fight, and even if you are destined to die, you have to die with honor.
At this time, Xuanwu was putting Xiao Zhen down and letting him slide down the gentler slope of the north cliff. Xiao Zhen turned his head to the side, and just saw the Xuanniao mask shining on Han Chong's face, and red blood flowed from the edge of the mask, which snaked all the way to the corner of his mouth.
"Put me down!" Xiao Zhen whispered, he had already thought about what Han Chong was going to do, as long as a corpse with a Xuanniao mask appeared in Xiangshan, these people could declare Xiao Zhen dead.
Xuanwu heard him speak, but the movements of his hands did not stop, and he bundled the rattan that had been hidden long ago into a bundle and tied it to Xiao Zhen's hand. Xuanwu knew very well in his heart that if there was only one person alive today, then he could only strive for this person to be Xiao Zhen.
"Xuanwu!" Xiao Zhen wanted to break free, but he couldn't match Xuanwu's strength. Xuanwu buried his head and tied the other end of the rattan to a prepared hole, he knew what Xiao Zhen was thinking, but he couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
The Qin soldiers had already begun to wind up their arrows, and the clusters of arrows shot like meteors. Xiao Zhen bent his knee and kicked hard under Xuanwu's ribs, Xuanwu snorted, and the rattan in his hand was suddenly released. Xiao Zhen turned three times with his backhand, grabbed the rattan in his hand, and ran towards Han Chong quickly.
At that moment, he had exerted all his strength, and he relied on Xuanwu to be defenseless against him, and at this time, the poison on his shoulder emanated, and after a few steps, the objects in front of him began to blur.
After the arrows of the first row of Qin soldiers were released, the second row of Qin soldiers immediately came up, and there was another round of dense arrow rain.
Xiao Zhen had no blade to use, so he lowered his head and bit his wrist, and the pain made him wake up briefly. He leapt forward and slammed his shoulder into Han Chong, and the two rolled to the edge of the cliff together, dodging the arrows flying above their heads.
"Are you crazy?!" Two almost identical questions were uttered at the same time.
Xiao Zhen looked at the familiar mask, although he wore it every day, he had never looked at it carefully from this angle. He suddenly pursed his lips and smiled evilly: "There is a Su Tian who died in front of me, it is enough to kill, how can it be possible to add another one?" ”
Han Chong was in unbearable pain at this time, and he didn't speak, struggling to get up. Xiao Zhen pressed him down, tied Han Chong's hands with the other end of the rattan in his hand, and rolled him to the edge of the cliff with him.
Qin Bing changed to the third round of arrows, and saw that there was nowhere to hide, and there was a steep cliff behind him.
"Xiao Zhen, if you want to live or die, I don't bother to care," Han Chong said with difficulty, without saying a word, he pulled the wounds on his face, "But the little ballad is waiting for you......"
Xiao Zhen didn't answer, seeing that the arrow cluster was shooting again, he shouted "jump" and rushed down the cliff with Han Chong. Staying at the top of the cliff was only one death, Han Chong followed Xiao Zhen's strength and jumped down the cliff.
When the person reached the edge of the cliff, Xiao Zhen suddenly stopped, and his calf hooked a section of tree roots. The rattan was carried by Han Chong's falling figure, and it was suddenly straightened, leaving a bloody mark on his wrist. Hearing the sound of falling water at the bottom of the cliff, he let go of the force on his calf and fell straight down.
……
Mo Yu held the infant child and walked around the yard. The child who has always been very well-behaved, I don't know what happened this day, and I have been crying non-stop since the morning. Mo Yu is actually not very good at coaxing children, so he can only hold her and whisper: "Xiaobai, don't cry, Daddy will be back soon." Since giving birth to a child, her body is indeed better than before, and the problem of poor qi and blood is no longer so obvious.
The white-haired fox "whined" in the cage, and since it had a real little white, it was completely promoted to "big white". Da Bai suddenly pricked up his ears, and then, the sound of hurried footsteps came.
The little maid's voice came: "The girl is inside." ”
Mo Yu hugged the child's arm tightly, held his breath and looked at the door, the person who strode in was not Xiao Zhen, it was Xuanwu. Mo Yu looked at him stunned, for fear that he would say something terrible.
Xuanwu glanced at the child wrapped in brocade, only ten days old, his facial features were not very distinct, and a layer of yellow fluff on the top of his head loomed like new green grass growing in spring. He cleared his throat: "Xiao Zhen...... Can't find ......"
Mo Yu's body was loose, and he almost couldn't stand, and he comforted himself repeatedly in his heart, but he was okay, but he couldn't find it. No news, at least not bad news......
Xuanwu told Mo Yu what happened before and after, and after Xiao Zhen and Han Chong slid down the north cliff together, he also went to the bottom of the cliff to look for it, but found nothing, so he could only rush back here first, and bring more Golden Eagle Guards before going.
Mo Yu's mind was in turmoil, although she had long thought that there would be such a possibility, but when it really happened, she still felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Since she became pregnant, Xiao Zhen has been very busy, busy for a long time to come and meet her. At that time, she was not in good spirits, and she never thought much about it, until Xiaobai really held it in her hand, she was able to understand the feeling of wanting to leave the best things in the world to her. It turns out that Xiao Zhen has been planning for their future, but she has never really been like a wife......
"Xuanwu, no matter how many people you go, it's useless," Mo Yu settled down and looked at him firmly with Xiaobai's eyes, "I'll go with you again." ”
Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, he always felt that Mo Yu was just an ordinary girl, at most not as squeamish as a royal noblewoman: "It's okay if you want to go, the child stays here." He had never seen Mo Zhen's determination when he was in a difficult situation, and when he saw the mark left by Xiao Zhen and asked him to deliver the letter, he once suspected that he would be wrong about Xiao Zhen's meaning.
Mo Yu used a small brocade quilt to cover Xiaobai's face, and took a deep look at the little milk baby's face that didn't know the sorrow of the world: "Her father is in danger in order to give her this city, why does she want to see her father." ”
Xuanwu took them with him, and he couldn't ride a horse, but could only ride a carriage. Mo Yu didn't speak all the way, only when Xuanwu asked her if she wanted to stop and rest, she shook her head. Xuanwu suddenly had a strange thought, if Xiao Zhen was gone, then Mo Yu would not live alone.
Seeing Xuanwu staring at him, Mo Yu suddenly smiled softly, as if he had seen through his thoughts: "Even if there is really any accident, I will not seek death again, he said that he wants this child, I will definitely raise it well, let her know that her father loves her." ”
The ink rumor was said lightly, Xuanwu turned his head and looked at the scene outside the car that was rapidly retreating, not knowing what to say.
The two abandoned the carriage and went upriver along the downstream of Xiangshui, walked for a long time, and found the Xuanniao mask washed down by the river at a bend. There was congealed blood on the mask, and the ink rumor picked it up and rubbed it against his chest.
"This may not be Xiao Zhen's bloodstains......" Xuanwu was busy preparing rattan at the time, and he didn't see what was happening behind him.
"Xiao Zhen must still be alive!" Mo Yu closed his eyes, looking relieved, but tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
She calmed down before she said to Xuanwu: "Ying Shi will also send someone to search the mountain, and the mask is here, which means that no one has come downstream." The biggest possibility is that Ying Shi knew that Xiao Zhen was in the valley upstream, but he couldn't find his person. ”
After walking forward for another day and night, Mo Yu saw from a distance that there were soldiers of the Qin State patrolling the forest. A woman with a beautiful face, staring aimlessly at the vast mountains and deep valleys. She motioned for Xuanwu to dodge, and took a step forward, tiptoe on the nightbell among the grass. As soon as the crisp bell rang, people immediately gathered around her.
Mo Yu was brought to Ying Shi and interrogated by her as a suspicious person. Ying Shi looked at Mo Yu condescendingly, her eyes swept over the child in her arms, and she became more and more resentful.
Mo Yu looked at Ying Shi without fear, and suddenly asked calmly: "If Xiao Zhen is found, what does the princess plan to do?" ”
Ying Shi gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to gouge out his eyes, anyway, if he keeps them, it's like being blind, and he can't even see my goodness." ”
Mo Yu sighed: "Princess, you must have really loved Xiao Zhen, so you hate him so much today." However, I would like to ask the princess, when the princess likes a kitten and likes a dish, will she ask them to like you in the same way? ”
Ying Shi didn't understand what she meant for a while, and Mo Yu continued: "Didn't you expect the princess to come on those nights in the Chu Kingdom? In fact, the princess may not like Xiao Zhen very much at that time, what the princess likes is just the mood of liking someone. With this mood, the long night is not so difficult. ”
She said these words extremely blandly, not only to Ying Shi, but also to herself. Su Tian's face has become more and more blurred, and she has not appeared in her dream for a long time, and even the little boy on a rainy night has already been hazy. The only real ones are the child in her arms and her father, whose life and death are uncertain.
