The blinding light stung her eyes deeply, and her eyes darkened a little, and it took a long time for her to barely stand still. When I looked up, I saw countless felt tents made of livestock skins, which were actually a tribe of the Huns.

And this place is built at the peak, and it is really a good place to attack and retreat.

Before Yu Zhiyan could take a closer look at the surrounding situation, he saw several burly men wearing wolf skins, leather belts around their waists, and short boots on their feet, walking over.

And the leper Lao Wu and a few bandit brothers greeted him, but their faces were full of flattery, and a few people were far away, as if they were pointing and talking about their bound people.

But after a while, those people came over, and one of the leaders pointed to Yu Zheyan and said: "What can you do with such a thin and shriveled goods, or pull it back, or find a place to bury it, save a waste of food." ”

Yu Zhenyan's heart tightened, and sure enough, compared with others, she was thin and small, not like she could do hard work.

The leper fifth man giggled, with a flattering smile on his face, "Brother Huyan, this kid was bumped into by himself, and there are only two sheep next to him, this kid, you only give me a half-old lamb." ”

The big man called the Huns looked at Yu Zheyan up and down, but he agreed.

Soon the leper Lao Wu led the brothers to lead the sheep happily, but Yu Zhiyan felt a lot of emotion there, but he didn't expect that he was only worth a little lamb.

Soon they were driven to a house made of stones, which was very shady against a dirt slope, and naturally it was also very cold, and there were ice ridges on the stones, like a cellar.

As soon as Yu Zhiyan was pushed in, the iron door outside was immediately closed. But I saw hay laid underneath, and a dozen men lying crookedly on it.

I don't know how long they've been here, and they smell a foul smell. Yu Zhiyan couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, but there was only a torch stuck in the door of the house, and it was not very bright, and even the people in the house couldn't see the appearance clearly.

Yu Zhiyan only knew at this time that she was actually a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and she had no chance to turn back, she only hated herself for being sick and rushing to the doctor, but if Gu Jue was not here, she had only a dead end.

What she regrets even more is that she got rid of the people sent by Feng Huang to follow her, and now she is afraid that even Feng Huang doesn't know where she is.

Thinking of this, she is also dumb and eats coptis, and she can only endure the bitter water in her stomach, so she has to hope that there is Dong Lang among these people, but at this time, it seems that the opportunity is really not big, what a pampered character he is, how can he stand this.

She had to find a corner, and slowly looked around in the dark, like a little beast waiting to be slaughtered, her face full of nervousness.

By this time it was already dark outside, and the howl of a wolf could be faintly heard.

I don't know how long later, just when Yu Zhiyan gradually relaxed his vigilance, the door was opened, but I saw a big man coming over with some food and throwing it on the straw at once.

After the door was closed, Yu Zhiyan could barely see clearly, there were only some roasted potatoes and roasted mutton on the ground.

Thinking that these people are all here to work as coolies, they are naturally afraid that they will starve to death, and the food is not too harsh.

However, Yu Zhiyan was surprised to see that those people did not go to get food, and those who came with Yu Zhiyan did not dare to move anymore, everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, a man came out of the crowd, picked up the fattest piece of mutton on the ground, and then turned around and came back.

By the faint light of the torch at the door, Yu Zhiyan saw only a man with loose hair, ragged, and unable to see the person.

As soon as he was seated, the hungry men pounced on him like hungry wolves, snatching the things on the ground, and suddenly there were bursts of wails and screams.

Yu Zhiyan was even more curious about the fact that the man was here, and what kind of ability he had to make so many people afraid of him like this.

Yu Zhiyan was hungry all the time, she only found a corner and survived the night against the wall.

I don't know how long later, the iron gate was opened again, but I saw several Huns coming with whips, machetes and torches, and the originally dark hut suddenly became like daylight.

Yu Zheyan was also woken up, but he heard the Hun scolding: "You pigs and dogs from the Central Plains are not up to work quickly, if you don't cast enough arrows today, see if I don't kill you." ”

She also slowly got up with these, and at this time the man in the room had already walked outside, but Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but look for the figure of the person last night.

Vaguely she saw the person standing at the door, and when she looked up, she could clearly see the side face of the person by the torch in the hand of the Huns.

She shouted softly, "Donglang—"

At this time, the room was in a mess, and there was no one at all to her voice, but the person who was about to step out turned his head sharply and suddenly fell on her.

The moment when the eyes met, it was only a short moment, but it seemed like a lifetime.

And the Hun saw him standing at the door and refused to go, only thinking that he was going to be lazy, picked up the whip and threw it at his body, his sturdy body trembled, and he couldn't help but take half a step back, but his eyes were taken back from Yu Zhiyan, and he only walked outside.

Yu Zhiyan ran outside violently, but saw that Gu Jue had already walked far away, and there were so many people guarding him, so naturally he couldn't talk to Gu Jue.

Soon everyone was taken to a row of stone-made houses, with narrow rooms with bellows, hammers and tongs.

But it is worth Yu Zhiyan to rejoice that this tiring thing has to be done by two people, obviously those who have been working for a long time know that they can save some effort by looking for the one that looks strong.

And Yu Zhiyan, thin and small, naturally no one wanted to be with her, but she didn't care at all, because she saw that the stove occupied by Gu Jue was empty.

She walked slowly past, and they got closer, closer and closer.

At this time, the Huns who were guarding her had gone out to drink, and Dong Lang suddenly saw that there was no one around, and suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Through the thick clothing, Yu Zhiyan could clearly hear his heartbeat, so rapid and chaotic, even his arms trembled.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jue's face was full of pity, "Why don't you stay in the capital for a long time." ”

Yu Zhiyan wiped the tears on her face with his shirt, and she said: "Everyone said you were dead, I didn't believe it, so I came out to look for you, I was deliberately caught by bandits, and sure enough, I found you here." ”

After hearing this, Gu Jue was angry and hateful, "What are you doing here now, not only can't you save me, but you have to put yourself in." ”

When he went to see her embarrassed appearance, his heart softened for a while, only to see that her hair was messy, her face was full of dirt, and she looked aggrieved, and he couldn't bear to scold her nonsense anymore.

"Who can I trust here?" Yu Zhiyan came out of his arms, and only roughly told him what had happened in these days, only saying that now the Queen Mother was willing to negotiate peace, so she sent Feng Huang and the young master of the prince over.

After hearing this, Gu Jue let out a sneer, "Peace? When I returned to the camp, I thoroughly cleaned up the debris of the Huns. ”

Yu Zhiyan saw that his voice was full of hatred, presumably he had suffered a lot at the hands of the Huns these days.

She couldn't help but ask, "How did you end up here?" ”

"I was originally going to enter Beijing to celebrate your birthday, but you were ambushed on the way, and the guards I took away desperately protected my life, so I hid in the river and waited for those people to leave." Gu Jue's eyes almost breathed fire, "Who knew that as soon as he came out, he was caught by the bandits, and then sold here." ”

Although things were as Yu Zhiyan expected, she still felt thrilled when she heard him talk about it, and she was covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, the Hun man came back, saw that the two people were still standing there, and waved the whip and passed, "Do a good job, and still want to be lazy." ”

Gu Jue saw that the whip was thrown over, her left leg moved forward half a step, and one side blocked her face, with the sound of the whip falling on her skin, Yu Zhiyan could almost feel the pain of the skin opening the flesh.

Tears rolled down her eyes, looking pitiful.

And Gu Jue clenched his fists and didn't resist, but slowly pulled the bellows, and with the continuous burning of the tongue of fire, the iron ore gradually became red.

The Huns could not stand the heat, and left their small room with a cold snort.

Yu Zhiyan just wanted to ask about the injuries on his body, but heard Gu Jue say, "It's too hot here, you stay away." ”

Although she had never done any of this, she had heard it mentioned, that striking iron was a work of strength, and that her thin body could not even carry a hammer, so where could she cast an arrow.

But she didn't want to see him suffer alone, so she squatted down and pulled the bellows, and then said with a smile, "I'll do this for you." ”

What Yu Zhiyan didn't expect was that he, a pampered young master, was very hard working to do this, and soon he took out the red-hot forging, stood next to the iron felt and held the hammer and clanked, and suddenly the small room was full of fire.

After Gu Jue had cast dozens of arrows, it was noon, and those Huns came to collect the arrows with boxes, and then distributed the grain.

He and she weren't the ones who minted the most, but the two of them still got two sweet potatoes.

Yu Zhiyan was already hungry for a long time, and even if it was a hard sweet potato, her stomach was still gurgling.

She was worried about Dong Lang, thinking that he was so tired, he was naturally hungry, so she hurriedly said: "I really can't eat such things, you can eat them all." ”

Gu Jue couldn't guess what she was thinking, and patted her head gently, "What nonsense are you talking about, do you want me to collect your body, don't you eat it quickly." ”

Yu Zhiyan thought about it, and still took the small piece and devoured it, but she ate it in a moment.

When she raised her head with her mouth open, she saw Gu Jue reach out and hand over her piece, "Eat." ”

She shook her head and said she wouldn't pick it up.

Gu Jue opened his mouth, bit half of it at once, and then lowered his head and kissed her lips, just when Yu Zhiyan was still stunned, his tongue had pried open her red lips, and the hot sweet potato fell into her mouth.

At this time, there were many people, and because she was still pretending to be a man, if others saw it, she was busy eating the sweet potato, and then pushed him away at once.

Gu Jue smiled with satisfaction, and then handed her the remaining half of the sweet potato.

She picked it up and ate it slowly, tears rolling down the sweet potato, she couldn't help but feel that this sweet potato was more delicious than any delicacies of the mountains and seas she had ever eaten before, it was so sweet.

Until sunset, the slaves were driven back to the stone house, and everything was yesterday, even the cold was the same as yesterday.

Soon someone came to deliver food, but no one dared to move, just waiting for Gu Jue to finish taking it, and everyone began to grab it again.

But this time, Gu Jue brought two pieces of mutton, one of which was handed to Yu Zhiyan.

After eating, everyone gradually fell asleep, and there was a burst of snoring in the room.

Yu Zhiyan was lying beside Gu Jue, shrinking and hugging his shoulders tightly. And in a trance, she was hugged by a warm embrace, and her body gradually warmed up.

"There's one thing I'm really curious about." Seeing that everyone was asleep, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly expressed the doubts in his heart.

Gu Jue couldn't guess what she wanted to say, and before she could ask, he smiled and said, "They are afraid of me like this because I am the best kung fu here, and I promised to help them escape." ”

Yu Zhiyan turned around, the faces of the two people were tightly pressed together, and they could almost hear each other's breathing, "You want to escape?" ”

"Are you really staying here and waiting to die?" Gu Jue thought that he was a dignified general who commanded thousands of troops and horses, and he was also full of anger.

"Actually, I like it here." Her eyes were wrinkled in the dark, "Here we can be together every day, but we are happier than going to the capital to eat and drink." ”

Gu Jue was stunned by her ridiculous words, and sighed for a long time: "I may want to disappoint you, because of your arrival, my plan is advanced, let's leave here tomorrow." ”

The two of them were talking with their ears and temples, but a man who was sleeping not far away turned over and came over at once, wanting to hug Yu Zhiyan and draw warmth from her body.

Seeing this, Gu Jue was furious, stood up and stretched out his legs to kick the man half a meter away.

In the darkness the man woke up from his sleep and yelled, "Which bastard kicked me? ”

"If you dare to come over again, I'll gouge out your eyes." Gu Jue's cold voice woke up all the sleeping people in the room, and they all hurriedly shrank into the corner, even if other places were crowded to death, her side was still empty.

————————

In the barracks, the soldiers who had been slacking off for a few days gradually became depressed, and the barracks of eating, drinking and gambling gradually began to do quietly.

These soldiers who had been fighting for a few days also heard the news, Gu Jue was nowhere to be found, and the court did not want to fight again, so they sent King Nanjing and the young prince to come over to receive the letter of surrender from the Xiongnu.

When Feng Huang came, those generals went around to collect some good wine and food, as well as some looted treasures, and sent them all to Feng Huang's camp.

Feng Huang didn't show half of his joy because of this, just sat at the table with a calm face, listening to the advice of those people under him, "Lord Wang, Mohe has been turned over, there is no Mrs. Yu at all, the owner of the inn has been arrested, it is torture to extract a confession, and he has not recruited anything." ”

Feng Huang's eyes showed a cold luster, "What are you talking about, can she be a weak woman, can she still disappear?" ”

Feng Huang's voice was fierce, but the guard was so frightened that he didn't dare to distinguish it, and he only kowtowed vigorously.

And at this moment, the voice of the soldier came from outside the hall, "His Royal Highness King Nanjing, Master Young Fu asks to see you." ”

"Enter." After Gu Jue finished speaking, his cold gaze immediately fell on the soldier kneeling under the tent, "Continue to look for it, if you can't find it within three days, I will definitely deal with it by military law." ”

The guard hurried away, and Sun Shenheng also came in.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, the letter of surrender from the Huns has been sent again." Sun Shenheng's voice was extremely respectful, not like in front of people, he was disdainful of Feng Huang, thinking that it was all to hide people's eyes.

"They are naturally anxious, now we are only a dozen miles away from their royal court, and they will die without a place to bury them in half a day." Feng Huang sneered, "We have to solve this matter immediately, we are alone here now, and it is not a long-term solution." ”

Sun Yan touched his long beard, "It's just that Gu Jue's life and death are unknown, and he hasn't even found his bones, if he comes back, according to his temperament, he may not be willing to return to the court." ”

Seeing that Feng Huang refused to accept the surrender letter, the various tribes of the Xiongnu began to get nervous, they only thought that Gu Jue was dead, and no one in the Central Plains dared to take over this war.

But when the spy came over and said that the person who came was Fenghuang, he began to panic again, so he hurriedly repaired the remnants and cast weapons, just to keep the last home.

And the tribe where Yu Zhiyan and Dong Lang were captured also sent a large number of people to the royal court to protect Da Shan Yu and the princes and princesses.

Taking advantage of the weakness of the Huns at this time, fleeing now is tantamount to the best option.

That night, sure enough, only one Hun came to deliver food.

At this time, someone in the crowd was shouting, "I don't know who is dead here, you better pull him out, if there is any infectious disease, we will all die here." ”

The Hun said a few words to the guards outside, then asked for a torch and came in with it.

When he turned over the corpse lying on the ground, he saw that the corpse opened its eyes and looked at him with murderous intent. He knew that he had been fooled, and he just wanted to call someone, but he was covered by the person who pounced on him and was firmly controlled on the ground.

Soon his shirt was stripped off, and a man of his size put on his shirt and went out with his head bowed.

Yu Zhiyan stood beside Gu Jue, and saw that he was planning all this, and it was really very smooth.

After the man left, sure enough, it was only a moment before the shouts of the Huns came from outside, "There is a fire in the sheepfold, come and put out the fire." ”

These cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of these Huns, seeing that it is on fire, even the guards at the door hurriedly ran to put out the fire, and the people locked here took advantage of the chaos and picked up the hammer that was secretly hidden today and smashed the door.

Yu Zhiyan looked at all this nervously, his hands cold.

Soon the iron door was smashed open, and the people in the room seemed to see the hope of life, and ran desperately outside, and the people went straight to the stable, took the tall horse and rode south.

And Gu Jue had been holding her arm, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry to run, Yu Zhiyan saw that the horses were getting fewer and fewer, and was about to ask, but she heard his cold voice ringing in her ears.

"Let's go north, don't ride horses." After Gu Jue finished speaking, he took her hand and ran up the hillside to the north, and when the two of them ran to a high place, they saw that the Huns had already discovered that these slaves had escaped and were about to chase after them.

"Why don't we go with them?" Yu Zhiyan gasped for breath, obviously Gu Jue was planning to run with those people.

Gu Jue hugged her tightly in his arms, "I have been at war with the Huns for a long time, naturally I know what they are, their horses are spiritual, as long as the master's whistle sounds, they will come back." ”

He only felt that a basin of cold water was poured on his heart, it turned out that Gu Jue was just doing this to let those people be the bait in exchange for his own peace.

"But they believe in you like that." She knew his ruthlessness when she slaughtered the city in Huaiyin, and now those poor and innocent people have also been calculated by him.

"They saved General Ben is also a credit, I will kill those Huns in the future, and I will save them." Gu Jue said casually, as if those people's lives were just ants to her, and they were just insignificant.
