Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lonely Moon

The blue sky is high, the mountains and rocks are craggy, and the pine is independent of the sun. The distant mountains are hard and vaguely like a sword, the cold wind attacks, and the yellow all over the ground is rolled up and piled up, chaotic and disorderly, and some of them actually come straight to the face of people. Taking a step back to avoid the sharp broken leaves, I turned and walked away, walking towards the Hu Ru soldiers who had already finished trimming.

Although this place is close to the border between Hu and Ru, it is still night. In front of everyone's eyes, Concubine Shu died, I was robbed, no matter how much I was afraid of Hu Ru in the night, I would definitely have to chase after me at this time. In the past five days, in addition to the necessary rest and rectification, our group has been running thousands of miles almost non-stop, and when we see the scenery gradually changing, we know that Hu Ru is not far away.

"Put on more coats, the sun is setting, and the night breeze is coming." Approaching the tall horse, I reached out to stroke its white mane, and the boy behind me walked to the sound of crisp dead leaves.

I turned around and gathered my cloak: "This one on me is enough, but you are wearing a thin ......"

Stopping the words of concern in time, I looked away. Huan Ke didn't move, and I saw that he was still reaching out for the coat, and the robe swayed slightly, revealing the gold thread embroidered with larks.

"Emperor Lingyue, but she feels sorry for the general?" Zhu Feng tightened the saddle on the side, and he had changed into an ochre-colored gown, and he was looking at Huan Ke with a playful face.

"Zhufeng!" Before I could react, Huan Ke reprimanded the echo first, no longer clinging, withdrew his hand, and motioned for me to get into the carriage first, and he turned around and walked to Zhufeng's side.

In fact, Huan Ke has prepared a blanket in the carriage, but it has not yet been used at night. There were only five soldiers and Huan Ke who came to "rob" me that day, and they were the ones I met in the night forest, and Zhufeng was one of them; Huan Ke rode me on a horse for a gallop for a day, because I was always mentally tired, and in the end, men and women did not kiss each other, after finding the carriage they left in the hidden place to place their belongings, Huan Ke directly let me in, so that I could rest and recuperate. At night they lay down by the firewood, and I stayed in the carriage, which saved me some of the embarrassment.

In fact, I knew in my heart that Huan Ke and his party didn't need to bring an extra carriage at all, and the so-called sundries were only piled up in the corner. We all know who this is for. But whether Huan Ke is pure kindness or something else, I don't dare to speculate, even if I heard Zhu Feng and others knocking on the side along the way.

Now, I don't have the strength and heart to deal with another unknown deception. Like a frightened bird, I can't help but wonder if there will be a sharp knife behind the friendliness of others, I can't help but remember the night when the candle flame was dim, my tears gradually dried and my heart was like ashes, my heart was so sad and sad that I couldn't bear it a second time.

Before the sky was completely dark, we finally found a relatively flat terrain. After a bonfire and some food, I went back to the carriage for the night. Because I have been walking at a rapid pace for the past few days, I almost slept on my pillow every night, and woke up to see the dawn. But tonight, for some reason, my body was still tired, but my heart was panicked, as if I felt that there was danger sneaking near in the night.

Touching his chest and ordering himself to stop thinking about it, he forced his consciousness to gradually diverge into chaos, and finally barely fell asleep, but it was inevitably shallow. I don't know how many times I was awakened by the crackling sound of firewood, I was upset, so I simply lifted the blanket and got up to get out of the car, but I saw Huan Ke and others standing still next to the bonfire, sober and vigilant.

Hurriedly approached a few steps, and before he could speak, Huan Ke comforted and explained: "It's okay, it's just that there seems to be a strange sound in the forest, and Zhufeng has gone to see it." Woke you up? ”

I shook my head, and was about to speak, but the silence of the night was suddenly torn apart by the sound of swords clashing, and the chaotic footsteps, the sense of oppression quickly approached.

"It's rare to be so fast." Huan Ke pulled the bow and crossbow, and the other hand was on the sword, sneering and speaking, not like getting along in the past few days, the whole aura was wide open, it was the confidence of the autumn slaughter and the disdain of the king's cold wind.

"Get back to the carriage and rest for a while." With a wave of his hand, Guangqi and Deshi had rushed towards the depths of the night, Huan Ke turned his head to look at me, and the anger in his eyes plummeted, reflecting a bright and amazing bright moon. "Cover yourself with more quilts and don't catch a cold."

I nodded, he chuckled, whispered a few words to the rest of Huaiyan, and turned into the deep forest. His back is as tall as a pine, and his momentum is like a rainbow without a bow or sword, just looking at it like this, everyone can remember those rumored legends. The invincible King Hu Rupingzhou, although he was walking away step by step at the moment, I didn't feel the panic and worry when I looked at Zong Zhengxu's back. I know and believe that there is no one or anything in this world that can stop the young general. The self-confidence and courage that Huan Ke is unique to will undoubtedly enable him to reach wherever he wants to go.

Huan Ke and Zhu Feng and the others really didn't have to go back in a moment, I thought that they would have to travel day and night from now on, but who knew that they were not in a hurry.

"Some of the soldiers who were in the night just now just fainted, and they would be rescued by the reinforcements who came later. Pan Ye was already afraid of Hu Ru, and the few soldiers who saved their lives must have been frightened, and it was strange that they dared to chase after them at this time. Besides......"

As if he inadvertently stopped, Huan Ke signaled me to just go to rest, I knew that he had his own plans, and he didn't ask much. For the next three days we slowed down markedly, as if we were waiting for someone to catch up. Finally, after getting up on the morning of the fourth day, Huan Ke told me that if there was no accident, I would be able to reach Huru today.

It's just that since it was not easy to come at the beginning, how could it be easy to leave. It had only taken about two sticks of incense to make the carriage stop.

I sat still, and heard Huan Ke smile from the front: "Ling Da Honglu has been waiting for a long time, but it is because the beautiful scenery on the way to the night attracts his attention, so he walks slowly." It's just that Da Honglu is really polite, why bother to send this king away? ”

The Great Hung Lu? Zong Zhengxu! It turned out to be him? No, it was he who should have come, and he really took this opportunity to successfully take the military power into his own hands.

In an instant, my heart turned over the river and the sea, and I couldn't distinguish the geometry of grief and anger, I clenched my fists on my knees, and the voice of the person sent by the wind in my ears was in my ears: "I can't imagine that the king of Pingzhou, who is crisscrossing the battlefield, is also proficient in the way of good argumentation." It's just that today, he has no time to be polite with the king of Pingzhou, and asks the king of Pingzhou to send Emperor Lianghong Lingyue back to the night. ”

"The king of Japan has already said that Emperor Lingyue stayed in the night for a long time and was bored to think about it, so this king invited Emperor Lingyue to go to Huru to enjoy the cold wood and the beautiful scenery of spring." Huan Ke's tone changed for some reason, with a little anger: "It's Da Honglu, Zhen Zhen has the words not to be polite with this king, but this soldier has all kinds of weapons, and the formation is set up to meet this king's soldiers?" ”

Sensing that something was wrong, I quietly moved to the window and lifted the curtain slightly. This look was really taken aback, I don't know when, our group was surrounded and trapped by the night soldiers, Zong Zhengxu stood not far away, and Huan Ke was in a relative stalemate.

It's not that this scene is amazing, but as Huan Ke said, the number of people in this battle is far beyond our imagination. In the deep forest that night, Huan Ke had expected that there would be a sneak attack by the night soldiers, but the number must not be many, and most of them should still be in the rear and will not come forward; The slowdown in the past few days is due to Huan Ke's explanation, and those night soldiers in the rear did not dare to disturb for a while, and our speed made them even more suspicious; The reason for this is that near the border between the two countries, there will inevitably be a night army stationed. There are already known enemies ahead, and the soldiers of the night who are following will follow sooner or later, so it is better to walk slower and lead all the enemies to the light.

It's just an accident that Zong Zhengxu was so fast, and he had already put on a waiting look; And the reason why we have been so fearless these days, except for our own elite soldiers, is that we don't expect to send many soldiers in the night. Thinking about this, Huan Ke discussed it with Zong Zhengxu at that time, so he did not hide his anger in his words.

"Emperor Lingyue is a guest of the night, and there is no reason to give up to Hu Ru. If the king of Pingzhou really wants to invite Emperor Lingyue away, what should he leave behind, Fang shows Hu Ru's sincerity, and Xu is not a trip in vain. Zong Zhengxu seemed to notice me snooping in the carriage, and his eyes glanced over with a blank look.

I hurriedly withdrew my hand, my heart pounding. Huan Ke listened to the meaning of Mingzong Zhengxu's words, laughed angrily, and snorted coldly: "What Da Honglu means is that this king wants to take his own life as a stake today to invite Emperor Lingyue away?" It's okay," the sword was unsheathed, and the clear and clear were clear, and the sound of the first sword drawing had not yet fallen, and it was unclear how many of the same sounds sounded in all directions, which was shocking, "Then it will be a quick battle, and it has indeed been a lot of time in the past few days." ”

Under such tension, even the mountain wind seemed to be still, and Zong Zhengxu's chuckle was particularly eye-catching: "The king of Hu Ru Pingzhou is invincible and invincible, and he is famous all over the world. What's more, the so-called offsetting with life is too serious, just ask any Hu Ru brother over there to stay, and he will definitely treat each other politely at night, and dare not be perfunctory. ”

I lifted the corner of the curtain again, and saw Zong Zhengxu politely gesture "please": "I wonder which brother is willing to come?" ”

"Let's ask the meaning of the sword first!" Huan Ke scolded, and the five of them had dispersed slightly between the swings of the sword, but they were still facing each other's backs to each other. Zong Zhengxu also waved his hand, and the pan-night soldiers who had already been ready to attack swarmed down, and if they really attacked Huan Ke, most of them rushed to Zhufeng and the others.

I didn't care about other things, I opened the curtain and was anxious, and I looked at the number of people in the night as if there were about 500, a hundred times more than us. Zong Zhengxu led the troops to intercept him, although everyone knew that Hu Ru was strong, but if he couldn't bring me back, he would inevitably be accused of being incompetent. And according to the plan, I naturally can't go back with him, and Huan Ke can't be hurt, so take a step back, if he can bring back the head of any Hu Ruren, he will do his best, and he will be brave and fearless.

Even if it was because of Huan Ke, Zhu Feng and the others had no need to risk me, how could I let them lose their lives for me. It's just that the two sides are fighting fiercely at the moment, how can I calm this battle......
