Chapter Thirty-Six: Killing the Bloody Road
Yuwen Mochi felt the cold and sharp blade on his neck, and he didn't dare to move, and said to the visitor: "Second brother, I was ordered by my father. You're not going to take credit now, are you? ”
Yuwen Moyuan was unmoved, and his voice without the slightest warmth reached Yuwen Mochi's ears: "Bai Qingyun can give it to you, but Bai Yiyan will take it away." ”
Yuwen Mochi rolled his eyes, suddenly understood, and laughed sarcastically: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you won't take a fancy to my former princess, will you?" Haha, I didn't expect you to be a sanctimonious and obscene person, and you didn't even care about brotherhood, and dared to come over and rob it. Aren't you afraid to let your father know, you can't even do this prince?! Tsk, I really didn't expect Bai Yiyan, a woman with watery poplars, to be so good that she not only messed up with her brother, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became her minister. ”
Yuwen Moyuan was annoyed when he heard Yuwen Mochi's disrespectful words, and pressed the dagger in his hand to his neck again, and blood flowed out of Yuwen Mochi's neck at once. Yuwen Moyuan said in a calm voice: "Will you let people go?" If you don't let people go, I don't care about giving up the position of prince and dying here with you. ”
Yuwen Mochi didn't expect the prince to be serious, his hands and feet suddenly felt a little soft, and most of the strength on his body seemed to have been drained, but he definitely couldn't and wouldn't let Bai Yiyan go. Yuwen Mochi softened his tone, and said softly to Yuwen Moyuan: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this? If you can find this place, you must already know the identities of the two of them. You should know the attitude of your father, the two of them are definitely going to die here today. Why do you want to hurt your brother's harmony for a woman, and you don't even want the position of prince? As long as you let me go now, I can treat you as if you haven't been here today, and don't tell my father. ”
Yuwen Moyuan was silent. God knows what madness he did for Bai Yiyan. When he entered the palace today for political affairs and asked to see his father, he happened to hear Emperor Wei and Taichangqing Wu Daoming discussing what should be done with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion outside the Zhengming Palace. He was startled when he heard Bai Yiyan's life experience of Bai Qingyun, but what made him even more panicked was that Yuwen Mochi had already led his troops to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to kill Bai Yiyan. Yuwen Moyuan's palms were rarely sweating, and his heart seemed to be like a soldier hitting a city, and he was hit hard all of a sudden. He didn't enter the temple, he turned around and left, there was only one thing in his heart, he was going to save her.
When Yuwen Moyuan walked out of the palace gate, Zhou Qi was looking anxiously at the palace gate. Zhou Qi had been ordered by the prince to go to the gate of the Xiling Palace, to monitor Yuwen Mochi and ensure that he would not escape. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Mochi took the Praetorian Guards to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion today, he hurriedly sent someone to follow, and he hurried to the palace gate to report to Yuwen Moyuan. Yuwen Moyuan tried his best to suppress his beating heart, and ordered Zhou Qi to bring all the private guards of the Prince's Mansion and go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion with him immediately. By the time he rushed to the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Yuwen Mochi had already set off for the Yongjiang River Ferry. Yuwen Moyuan turned the horse's head again and hurried to the ferry without stopping. As a result, before he could reach the ferry, he saw a large group of Praetorian Guards in ambush near Yanbo Pavilion. He asked Zhou Qi to take a few people to follow him, and the others took advantage of the fog to hide in the nearby woods first.
He only prayed to Heaven to let him see her again and see that she would live well. Yuwen Moyuan didn't know when Bai Yiyan became so important to him, he only knew that he didn't want to lose her. His life of more than 20 years of being disciplined and calculating, at this moment, was completely subverted for Bai Yiyan.
The Praetorian Guards saw that the prince only brought a few attendants, thinking that it was an order from Emperor Wei, and did not suspect him, so they let him go up smoothly, giving him the opportunity to take Yuwen Mochi by surprise, while Zhou Qi was careful to guard him around.
The sun has been out for a while, the fog on the low hill is gradually dissipating, and the bright sun is shining on the earth as always. The Praetorian Guards surrounding the Yanbo Pavilion all saw the dagger in Yuwen Moyuan's hand, and they suddenly didn't know what to do. Hesitantly holding his bow and arrows, he didn't know whether to continue to aim at Bai Yiyan and the others, or at the prince. The well-trained Praetorian Guard, at this time, fell into a little confusion.
At this critical moment, Bai Yiyan suddenly raised his right arm unexpectedly and quickly, aimed the sleeve arrow that had been hidden in his sleeve at Yuwen Ink Pool, and shot out.
Yuwen Ink Pool was not too close to Bai Yiyan and the others, and he had never dared to enter the Yanbo Pavilion in order to prevent Bai Qingyun's sudden outburst. Bai Yiyan seized the momentary hesitation of the Praetorian Guard, and shot the only sharp weapon in his hand at his mortal enemy. Even if she can't shoot him, she will make him suffer, which is considered an interest she asks for for the Bai family. At the same time, she also hopes to take the opportunity to create chaos, in order to escape from the Yanbo Pavilion with Brother Qingyun.
The Hidden Arrow shot straight at Yuwen Inkpool, and he tried to tilt his head to avoid the arrow, but it was too late, and the small Hidden Arrow could have hit him in the left eye. Fortunately, the distance between him and Bai Yiyan was far enough, and the strength of the sleeve arrow was insufficient, and it was not shot through the head. But Yuwen Mochi's left eye was still bloodied immediately, and he screamed in pain. Yuwen Mochi didn't care about the dagger around his neck at all, and roared loudly: "Shoot them for me!" Shoot them! ”
Bai Qingyun suddenly drew his sword, stood up violently, and led Bai Yiyan towards the outside of the Yanbo Pavilion. The Praetorian Guards were stunned by this intolerable situation, and before they even had time to release their arrows, they let Bai Qingyun, who had fought for his life, make a small gap, and watched the two of them flee towards the woods outside the Yanbo Pavilion at great speed.
Yuwen Moyuan was also stunned by this sudden change, but he quickly regained his senses and ordered the Praetorian Guards loudly: "Shoot Bai Qingyun immediately!" Don't hurt Bai Yiren. ”
The Praetorian Guards listened to the orders given by the crown prince and the king of Xiling, although the orders were slightly different, but they all let them shoot immediately, so they didn't think about it, let go and shoot, and suddenly dozens of feather arrows shot at Bai Yiyan and the others at the same time.
Bai Qingyun tried his best to resist the front with his sword, and at the same time tried his best to protect Bai Yiyan in front of him, exposing his back. He had only one thought, to protect his Ahri and let her live.
Bai Qingyun's back was soon hit by an arrow, and he worked hard to support it, and continued to run down the mountain with Bai Yiyun. Although the fog on the top of the mountain dispersed, the woods were still full of fog, and soon the Praetorian Guards couldn't see the figures of Bai Qingyun and the others clearly, so they could only chase them in the direction where the two had fled, and shoot arrows intensively without stopping.
Bai Qingyun's right leg was weak and suddenly fell to the ground. Bai Yiyan cried and tried to help him up, but he had already been hit by three arrows. In addition to the two arrows in his back, the third arrow was shot right in his right leg. Bai Qingyun knew that his life was short, so he said to Bai Yiyan with difficulty: "Ahri, leave me alone, go quickly!" ”
How could Bai Yiyan give up his life and run for his life alone, she cried in pain and said: "I want to live together, I want to die together!" Brother Qingyun, I won't leave you to live alone! ”
Bai Qingyun looked at Bai Yiyan's appearance, knew her intentions, and tried hard to stand up. At this time, another feather arrow flew over, Bai Qingyun had no time to dodge, he closed his eyes in despair. I'm going to die here today, and I don't know if Ahri will be able to live. Ahri, whom he swore to protect for the rest of his life, I'm sorry, I can only accompany you here.
Bai Qingyun only heard the muffled sound of feather arrows shooting into flesh and blood, but there was no expected pain. He opened his eyes, only to see Bai Yiyan leaning sideways at the last moment to accept the arrow for him. She had this powerful arrow stuck deep in her left shoulder. Bai Yiyan's left arm immediately drooped down, and she laboriously helped Bai Qingyun up with her right hand. The two men stumbled forward hand in hand.
The footsteps of the chasing soldiers behind him were approaching, and Bai Yiyan thought desperately, is it so difficult that God really wants her and Brother Qingyun to die here? She is not reconciled! Her national hatred and family hatred have not yet been avenged, and everyone in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is still waiting for her to come to her rescue, and the life she promised to give Brother Qingyun for the rest of his life has not even had time to begin! How could she die here like this! She is not reconciled!
The sound of the surging water of the Yongjiang River became louder and louder in the mist, and before they knew it, they had passed through the woods and fled to the edge of the Yongjiang River, with no way forward.
