Chapter Ninety-Two: The Phoenix Who Couldn't Be Saved When He Died
Sure enough, there were bursts of whistles in the lonely grassland, and Yu Zhiyan faintly heard the neighing of horses in the darkness in the distance.
And the sound of the horse is getting closer, closer and closerβ
Gu Jue pulled her and hurriedly ran, on the empty grassland, there were endless stars scattered in the sky, and the moon shone on the two people.
She has been suffering and starving for the past few days, where is there any strength, I saw her stumbling under her feet, and fell to the ground at once, she only felt that the skeleton on her body was almost scattered, and she couldn't help crying out in pain.
Gu Jue hurriedly helped her up, and asked with a concerned face, "Where is the injury?" β
"Leave me alone, Donglang." A bitter smile appeared on Yu Zhiyan's face, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm waiting for you here, and when you find someone, you'll come back to me, and now I'm just a drag." β
He saw that she was breathing heavily, her face was as white as a piece of paper, and he thought that she really had no strength, so he didn't think about it, but only hugged her horizontally, her body was unstable, and he wrapped his hand tightly around his neck.
"Keeping you here isn't enough to stuff the wolf's teeth." Even though the two of them were running away, he still teased her in a cynical voice.
As if the nervousness had gradually dissipated, she clenched her fists and pounded his chest.
Gu Jue was about to throw her out, but the two of them were playing, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and even the dead grass on the ground seemed to be shaking.
Thinking that the Huns had arrested everyone, but they didn't see the two of them, so they chased after them.
Gu Jue's face changed suddenly, but where was there a place for two people to hide in the empty grassland. If the two of them are arrested again, I am afraid that those Huns will be strictly guarded in the future, and it will be difficult to escape again.
He had only been running for a short time with her in his arms, and then he stood there. Yu Zhiyan raised his head in a panic, but saw that under his unkempt hair, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were full of heaviness.
"What's wrong?" Her eyes looked around, and she asked in a low voice.
"There's someone up there up there too." Gu Jue's face changed, "I don't know which side it is." β
Yu Zhiyan knew that the people brought by Gu Jue were besieging the royal court of the Huns, and the place where they were trapped was the place of the Huns, and the chance of meeting his own people was almost slim.
With the sound of horses' hooves coming from front to back, countless torches gradually pierced the night. Gu Jue wanted to pull her to the left, but a sharp arrow pierced into the grass half an inch in front of him.
Gu Jue put down the panicked Yu Zhenyan on his face, and then hugged her tightly in his arms, with a posture of protecting her with his life.
Yu Zhenyan lay on his shoulder, tears seeping into his shirt one by one, she was a lonely sheep into the tiger's mouth, and now it is too late to regret it.
Then the horses in front and behind came up and surrounded the two men in the middle.
"Huyanhe, are you chasing these two people?" From the crowd coming from the front, a woman's voice was heard.
Yu Zhiyan only received this voice so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, only glanced up, and his eyes grew in disbelief.
I saw the woman sitting on a horse with a curved bow in her hand. The crackling torches illuminated her beautiful face clearly, and the high bridge of her nose was a little strangely beautiful.
Sure enough, the road is narrow, but I didn't expect to meet Princess Huashuang at this time. Although Yu Zhiyan didn't know that Gu Jue had humiliated the princess at the beginning, she also knew that she and Dong Lang had always been at odds with each other, and the two of them had reached a place where water and fire were incompatible.
At this time, she and Gu Jue were full of embarrassment, only hoping that this princess would not recognize the two of them.
Na Huyanhe got off his horse and saluted respectfully to the princess, it seems that this Huashuang princess is highly respected in the Huns.
"We're chasing runaway slaves." Na Huyanhe said with a smile: "Thank you princess for your help, otherwise let them escape, but I don't know where the princess is going to go when it's so late?" β
"I'm going to go to Lanbu to prepare some grain and grass." Hua Shuang's face seemed to be still worried, "Now that it is inconclusive, it is still inconclusive whether to fight a monk or not, so it is natural to take precautions." β
Na Huyanhe hurriedly smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then don't bother the princess." β
Hua Shuang seemed to be in a hurry, and she didn't want to delay, she wanted to ride a horse, but she saw the arrows she had just shot on the ground, her arrows were specially made, very precious, and naturally could not be wasted.
She didn't order her subordinates, but just drove her horse to Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan, and dismounted to pick up the arrows beside Dong Lang.
The moment she held the arrow in her hand, she suddenly saw the faces of the two people in front of her, and immediately shouted, "It's youβ"
When the Huns saw her so frightened, they couldn't help but come up with torches, and someone in the crowd shouted, "Princess, who is he?" β
The shock on Hua Shuang's face receded, and then he showed ecstasy, "He is Gu Jue." β
Gu Jue's name is also thunderous among the Huns, it is this man who has committed a great crime, but in six days, they lost the city they had taken.
It was this man who made the blood of the Huns flow all over the streets. The Xiongnu army was cornered, so they used the old and young women as arrows, and it was this man who did not care about the lives of his clansmen and let his subordinates shoot them with bows and arrows.
And when they learned that the warriors of the clan had killed this murderous man, they all rejoiced, thinking that their lives had been saved.
When Hua Shuang blurted out the name again, everyone pulled out the matching knives at their waists and surrounded them with a wary face.
Yu Zhiyan clenched his fists tightly, and his palms were full of fine sweat because of nervousness.
"It's been a long time, the princess is still so shrewd, it's extremely difficult to find the princess's husband, maybe except for the princess, you Huns are just some stupid things." Gu Jue didn't deny his identity.
Hua Shuang looked at these two people, not angry, but laughed, "When you are dying, you still say such things, what is it if you are not stupid?" β
Yu Zhiyan is also angry that Gu Jue is still this arrogant look, now the two of them are difficult to protect, if he says something to beg for mercy, maybe the two of them can still save the whole body.
At this time, the first to speak passed away, Na Hu Yanhe, "The princess can't stay in the whole person, if it weren't for you today, he would have run away, but if he finds another opportunity to run in the future, our disaster will come." β
Gu Jue's eyes were like ice, and he swept coldly towards Nahu Yanhe, and then said to Hua Shuang: "If I were you, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing, I and Zhiyan are the best bargaining weights, I am the queen mother's own brother, threatening each other with our lives, and I'm afraid that they won't withdraw their troops." β
These people are only bent on removing him as a scourge, where can they think of the value of Gu Jue, and Feng Huang is reluctant to accept their surrender, which is also the reason why they are afraid all day long, the army is pressing, if the royal court is occupied, this Huns will be completely finished.
Hua Shuang didn't have an idea for a while, so she only asked the two of them to be tied up, and ran back to the palace in a hurry, quickly letting her father Khan take the idea.
Feng Huang sat in the camp tent, carefully studying the map of the military formation, occasionally waving a wolf to sketch on it. The dry, cold wind ran through the crevices of the tent, blowing the green silk of his sideburns.
However, at this moment, a hurried footsteps sounded, and it was the Sun who broke in without the guard's warning. His long face was covered with beads of sweat, and he was running too fast, and he only held on to the table and gasped for air.
Seeing that Jean was so out of shape, he asked, "What happened?" β
"Drop the book, the Huns sent the drop book." He patted his chest and kept giving himself a breath.
Feng Huang glanced at him a little carelessly, and then continued to wave the wolf in his hand, "I'm not saying that you don't just pick it up." β
"The messenger said that Gu Jue and Mrs. Yu were in their hands, and Xiongnu Shan Yu said that if you don't accept the surrender letter within three days, I will send you the heads of the two."
Feng Huang's fingers stiffened suddenly, and the jet-black ink fell on the paper, revealing pieces of ink marks.
Sun Lianheng naturally guessed the taboo in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I didn't want to take Gu Jue's guy to be arrested by them, we just think that we don't know about it, and when the Huns kill it, we will send troops in the name of avenging General Gu, and when we come to the court, even the Queen Mother will not dare to accuse you." β
Feng Huang didn't understand, this was the best opportunity to get rid of Gu Jue, and in the future, Gu Yinglian would only blame the Huns, and it had nothing to do with him.
But Yu Zhiyan must also die, is he really willing to do it?
"Don't hesitate any longer, now that the tiger talisman and the handsome seal are missing, I'm afraid that they have been hidden by Gu Jue." Sun Yan said hurriedly: "If Gu Jue comes back, where is there a place for you in this army, it is just a matter of one sentence to execute you here." β
The wind outside the tent blew out the candles in the house, and the moonlight shone through the tent. The enclosed phoenix is more and more white like snow, and there is endless sadness in the bleak room.
It's just a moment's work, and his heart has turned a hundred times, and he has gone through several lives.
"Drive the Huns away." He finally made up his mind.
Sun Mingheng touched his gray beard, and then nodded with satisfaction, yes, this is the Feng Huang he followed, how could he spoil a big deal because of his children's personal affairs.
After Sun Yan left, Feng Huang stood silently in front of the bookcase, his face was a little pale.
And the same full round of solitary moon, Yu Zhiyan and Gu Jue couldn't see it, the two of them were hiding in a room that looked good, and the soldiers around them were densely packed, but they were afraid that even a fly would be unable to fly.
At this time, there were a few dishes on the table, as well as fragrant mutton.
Gu Jue didn't care about eating, looking like he was better off than alive, and it was delicious. When he finished eating a piece of mutton, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Yu Zhiyan's dejected appearance, and cut a small piece of mutton with a knife and stuffed it in her mouth.
Her stomach seemed to be filled with lead, she had no appetite at all, she didn't think as disrespectfully as he did, she was uncertain about her life and death, and she was still there happy and happy.
She chewed wax and swallowed the meat, then looked at Gu Jue and said, "Did you say that Feng Huang would accept the book?" Will he care if we live or die?
Gu Jue's mouth was stuffed with mutton, and his speech was a little slurred, "He's just afraid that I would die, but he will save you." β
However, as soon as he had finished saying this to her, he saw the Huns' Shan Yu Helanxiong rushing in angrily with a knife, and reached out and threw a sheepskin roll over.
You don't have to think about it to know that Feng Huang did not accept the surrender letter.
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Gu Jue had miscalculated. Feng Huang treats him with a little sincerity, she is clear, in front of power, she is really insignificant.
"Hmph, it's useless to keep you." Helan trembled vigorously, and he looked like he would not give up if he didn't cut Donglang into several sections.
Gu Jue was still cynical, poured a sip of spirits, and said with a smile: "Now that Feng Huang wishes I was dead, you are not killing yourself by sending him a letter." β
"And what do you say?"
Gu Jue pointed at Yu Zheyan, with a warm-hearted look, "Send her back first, the people in the army know her, Feng Huang naturally doesn't dare to kill her, as long as I die, she will naturally return to the capital and naturally report this matter to the Queen Mother, and then he Feng Huang can still save his life?" β
When Yu Zhiyan saw him say this, his tears were like beads of broken threads, and he shook his head and cried: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm only here to accompany you." β
"Death with General Ben?" Gu Jue glared at her viciously, "Let's go back and think about how to let Feng Huang withdraw and save the life of General Ben." β
Gu Jue's dark pupils were wrinkled and shining in the firelight, and Yu Zhiyan knew that he was just trying to save her life.
He Lanxiong listened carefully to the words of the two people, now that the soldiers are pressing the realm, there is no way to kill Gu Jue, now it is better to give it a go and let this woman out, but there is still a glimmer of life.
He snorted coldly and put down the knife in his hand, "Let you say goodbye tonight, if you still don't accept the surrender, tonight will be your farewell day." β
After Helanxiong left angrily, Yu Zhiyan suddenly threw himself into his arms, "Feng Huang is bent on your life, I'm afraid he doesn't want to save us at all." β
"You idiot." He pulled her out of his arms, clamped her chin hard, and looked at her stupidly, "Learn to be smarter in the future, and see who is good to you, because you still try your best to marry him, he is simply a stone that can't be hot." β
Yu Zhiyan saw that he still had the leisure to fight here at this time, and felt angry and annoyed, "How can I save you, you tell me Donglang." β
"After you go back, you don't do anything, you just tell Feng Huang that you won't tell him that he won't be saved." He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Then let him let you go, you go to find a place where no one knows you to live well, and never go to the capital again." β
Feng Huang is the most ruthless, but Gu Jue knows that there is a child between her and Zhiyan, and he may not be able to kill the killer.
She shook her head slowly, "I don't live alone. β
A faint mist slowly brewed under her dark eyes, and his eyes were full of tenderness, "If you save me, there is only one way, but it is extremely dangerous, if you don't succeed, you can't get out of it, are you willing." β
Like a lonely child, Yu Zhiyan pulled his sleeve tightly, "I am willing to pay for my life." β
