Chapter 196: Distress
"Master, the people have arrived at the place." The man in the shirt who was half-kneeling at the door was wearing a face scarf, and his face could not be seen clearly with his head lowered.
The purple-robed man was silent for a long time, his fingertips lightly clasped the bookcase, and he spoke for a long time: "Act according to the plan, go!" The man in the dark clothes retreated, and the man in purple looked at the picture scroll again, "If you lose your lover, I wonder if you will be in pain?" ”
"Walk the water, go out of the water......" The shout woke Hua Shaoyan from his sleep, sat up suddenly, pulled a piece of clothing and put it on his body while walking, opened the door, thick smoke billowed from the west, and there was a faint flash of fire.
"What's wrong? Where did the fire start? Qing Dai walked out of the house, got up too quickly, her temples were half pulled, her clothes were not ready to be tidied up, and her neckline was half open inadvertently, revealing two arcs of jīng curves.
Hua Shaoyan's face Chapter 196 was in distress, he waved his hand and sent away the little guy who called for questioning, turned around and gathered her collar, frowned, and said, "Why don't you put on your clothes and go out again?"
Qing Dai was speechless, it's time for this little thing.
Hua Shaoyan took her hand and said, "The fire started at the residence of Zong Yi and Li Yu in the west, I don't know what the situation is?" I'll go over and see, you wait here for me to come back, don't wander around. ”
Qing Dai nodded, "Okay!" Be careful yourself. Inexplicably, the water was burned, and it was the residence of several distinguished guests, Qingdai's heart was sudden, hoping that this accident was just an accident.
Qing Dai got dressed and paced back and forth in the room, uneasy.
There was a knock on the door, Qing Dai opened the door, and she knew that the person outside was the maid who was waiting in the village today.
The maid didn't have time to salute, so she pulled Qingdai and walked outside the house, "nǎinǎi, the fire is burning here, you come out quickly and take refuge outside the courtyard." ”
Qing Dai looked at the fire that rushed to the sky in the west, illuminating the entire courtyard, and her heart became more and more uneasy, but she thought of Hua Shaoyan's words, "No, wait a while, the ninth young master said that he would come back." The maid took Qing Dai's hand and said anxiously: "Nǎinǎi is too late, I can't get out." Suddenly, shouts of murder erupted.
Qing Dai secretly screamed that it was not good, it was a big mess at this time, if she rushed out, Chapter 196 In case of distress, if you encounter a bad person, not to mention that you are in danger, it will put Hua Shaoyan in a passive and unfavorable situation and throw off the maid's hand" "Wait. ”
"nǎinǎi" 丫鬟 was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but Qing Dai didn't leave, she left with her nose, and if Qing Dai had an accident, she couldn't escape it.
Qingdai stabilized her mind, "Go prepare some wet cloths, let's wait in the yard." ”
The maid hurriedly went to prepare, and Qingdai sat down on the bluestone bench in the courtyard. After a short time, the maid returned, and the master and servant sat in the courtyard and waited.
"Qing Dai, Qing Dai" Just when Qing Dai was anxious, Hua Shaoyan's voice accompanied by a knock on the door woke up Qing Dai, who was still worried.
"Hua Shaoyan." Qing Dai opened the courtyard door, only to see Hua Shaoyan standing at the door with a sword in his hand, his body and face were covered with blood, Qing Dai took his hand and looked at it again, "Are you injured?" "Nope." Hua Shaoyan pulled Qingdai on, "The fire is too big, someone is taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate Zong Yi, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I will take you out." Not long after the two men went out, the fire had already spread to the vicinity of the yard where they lived.
Hua Shaoyan took Qing Dai, and the maid behind him was carried by a light cavalry guard, and the four of them rushed out all the way, and five black-clothed people rushed out of the fire in the middle, wielding knives straight at Qing Dai, who was powerless. Hua Shaoyan was shocked, grabbed Qingdai's waist and brought her close to him, raising his sword to meet the enemy with his backhand. Seeing that the soldiers of the light cavalry guard were only attacking Qingdai, they hurriedly let the maid hide aside and rushed into the battle group themselves.
The sword roared, and the sword light and sword shadow flashed, Hua Shaoyan took Qing Dai to dodge the enemy's fierce attack, rushed out of the encirclement, and threw Qing Dai outside the round arch at the end of the corridor, "Find a safe place to stay, I'll solve these few and come." "Hua Shaoyan, I'll wait for you!" "Hmm!" Hua Shaoyan didn't look at Qingdai, and rushed back with his sword.
Qing Dai found a corner, huddled in the shadow of yīn with her knees crossed, her eyes kept looking in the direction of the round arch, and she silently recited Hua Shaoyan's name in her heart, hoping that tonight's nightmare would pass early.
"Qing Dai."
I don't know how long it took, Qing Dai finally saw the end of the round arch, and in the firelight, Hua Shaoyan stood there with his sword, and the blood dripped on the ground, converging into a pool of blood, you can imagine how tragic the battle situation was just now.
"Hua Shaoyan." Qingdai stood up, not wanting her legs to be numb, and she stumbled and almost fell.
A pair of strong arms supported her, and when she raised her eyes, her blood-stained face could not be seen clearly, but the smile on her lips was bright and warm.
"Wait, aren't you?" Hua Shaoyan rubbed Qing Dai's head, Qing Dai threw herself into Hua Shaoyan's arms with a "wow", sobbing and shouting the name of "Hua Shaoyan", as if only calling his name like this, his heart was steady, "You are still there, you are fine, you are fine"
Hua Shaoyan hugged his own bag, and a down-to-earth feeling overflowed in his chest, "Well, I'm here, I'm fine, I'm fine............... let's go, let's go out quickly."
Out of the gate, Zong Yi, Li Yu and others had already come out.
"Cousin, cousin, are you okay?" Li Yu stepped forward and asked.
Qing Daifu thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, we're fine." Hua Shaoyan glanced at it and saw that everyone was there, so he said: "Zhuangzi has been destroyed, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, I think it is better to go back to Beijing overnight." ”
The captain of the Beihu guard disagreed with Hua Shaoyan's proposal, "It's not a few hours before dawn, it's safer to stay here, in case there is an ambush in the forest, should it be the same?" Hua Shaoyan shook his head, "Even if there is an ambush in the forest, there are light cavalry guards and the envoy can also kill the encirclement, if you stay here and wait for dawn, there is no place to stay, in case the other party throws arrows together, we have no possibility of escape."
Li Yu nodded, "I agree with General Hua's opinion. What does King Hu think? "The fire just now started from the courtyard where Zong Yi lived, and this catastrophe was obviously aimed at the Beihu Mission, or rather, at his Zong. Whoever doesn't spare his life, Zong Yi naturally doesn't want to be assassinated. And Zong Yi died, died in Hua Shaoyan's place, and Dahua and Beihu will fight again, which is what Li Yu, Hua Shaoyan and others do not want to see.
Li Yu gave Zong* the right to decide, firstly, to respect his opinion, and secondly, in case something happened, this was also the path that Zong Jing himself chose.
Zong Feng thought for a while, "Go back to Beijing." The light cavalry swept away the hidden Assassins in the courtyard, and the cart was destroyed in the fire, forcing the group to ride on horseback. Qingdai is not good at equestrianism, and Hua Shaoyan is not worried that she rides alone, so the two ride together.
The new moon is cold, the mountains and forests are quiet at night, and occasionally there are a few cries from unknown birds, which sounds more and more creepy in the dark forest. The horses in the team had already removed their bells and slowed their steps, and when they approached the sidewalk, they could hear the sound of horses stomping on the ground.
Qing Dai sat in Hua Shaoyan's arms, and the heat from her back relieved the tension just now, "It's a pity, the other courtyard that I just arrived in this way was burned down." Hua Shaoyan hugged Qingdai tightly, "Let people renovate it after a while." ”
"Hua Shaoyan, this time the incident is too strange. The scheming behind him wants to kill two birds with one stone, which is really vicious. "Qing Dai didn't dare to think that if Zong Yi was assassinated on their Zhuangzi, Hua Shaoyan would not be able to escape the blame, and the war between Beihu and Dahua would rise again, even if the emperor favored Hua Shaoyan again, it would be impossible not to condemn him.
Hua Shaoyan nodded in agreement, but listening to his child's angry tone, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" Zong Yi can stand out among the brothers and become the king of Beihu, how can he die so easily? As for your husband, he has a great life and will not leave you alone. Hua Shaoyan's aura suddenly changed, waved his hand to signal the team to move forward carefully, leaned over and lowered his head close to Qing Dai's ear, and said softly: "Be careful later!" ”
Qingdai realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and there was no trace of birdsong in the mountains and forests, and the silence was a little weird. Qing Dai turned her head, looked at Hua Shaoyan with a solemn face, and held his hand holding the reins, "Hua Shaoyan, if you dare to leave me, I will marry myself, and I will not be widowed for you." "No conscience! I'm not going to give you a chance! Hua Shaoyan turned over and dismounted, hugged Qingdai down, and shouted: "Light cavalry guard, detachment, enter the forest." The escort team pays attention to the safety of King Hu and the prince! With Hua Shaoyan's order, the team has changed. The light cavalry guards were instantly divided into four teams, one team continued to move forward, the other two teams dismounted and sneaked into the woods on the left and right to eliminate the archers hiding in secret, and the last team stayed in place.
Less than a moment before he could move forward, the feather arrows around him broke through the air, and when the rain of arrows fell from the sky, the sound of fighting came from the forest. After a short time, the number of stray arrows slowly decreased, and Hua Shaoyan ordered the brigade to be ready to break out of the encirclement.
As soon as he finished speaking, forty or fifty black-clothed men rushed out of the surrounding forest, dressed the same as the assassins in the courtyard just now, and it was obvious that they were the same people.
Hua Shaoyan looked at the murderous man in black, and laughed loudly: "King Hu, in the past, the battlefield was facing each other, and now you and I are facing the enemy together, how about killing more than anyone?" "Zong Yi is also a leap yù try" good! Today, the lone king wants to see whether the name of the jade-faced killer is worthy of the name! ”
The light cavalry guards on the periphery and Beihu Suihu had already stepped forward to meet the enemy, blocking the footsteps of the men in black rushing to kill.
Hua Shaoyan pushed Qingdai to Li Yu's side, "I handed over my sister-in-law to you and take care of her for me." ”
Li Yu nodded heavily, "Don't worry, cousin, I will take care of my sister-in-law." Qing Dai held Hua Shaoyan's hand tightly, "I will take care of myself, and you must also remember what you said." "Yes." Hua Shaoyan glanced at Qing Dai deeply, his lips quickly touched her forehead, and then he rushed into the crowd with his sword!!.
