Chapter 9: A Narrow Encounter

The knight seemed to feel her gaze, turned his head, and happened to meet Su Mi's eyes.

In an instant, the two of them were shocked and distracted.

She met the most unexpected person at such an unexpected time and in an unexpected place.

The person who came was Ni Tingxuan!

How could he be here?!

Su Mi's heart set off a monstrous giant*, and she was shocked inexplicably. But she supported the window with both hands, not to put it, not to put it, he obviously saw himself.

Ni Tingxuan's face first fell into a sluggishness that seemed to doubt that he was in a dream, and then showed a look of ecstasy in disbelief. That joyful look and light made his emotions completely open in front of Su Mi.

Su Mi smiled bitterly in her heart, she knew that she shouldn't look at it just now.

Ni Ting looked at Su Mi fixedly, under the half-hidden windowsill, the familiar face was faintly visible, and his vision blurred, as if only this half of the face was left in the whole world.

The knights around him couldn't help but wonder when they saw that he suddenly didn't move. "Young master, young master......" a knight next to him called softly.

Ni Tingxuan came back to his senses in the middle of the ring, ignored the calls around him, and directly threw his hands off the horse.

When Su Mi saw him walking towards his side, he knew that he couldn't dodge, so he simply stopped dodging.

After just over half a year, the two met again.

Ni Tingxuan stood in front of her and opened his mouth. But he suddenly realized that he didn't know how to speak, he didn't even know how to call her at this time, could it be that the etiquette of a palace concubine was still commensurate in this mountainous and rural environment? He faintly resisted the once familiar title in his heart, and a feeling of awkwardness flowed back and forth between the two of them.

"Under the surname Gu. Knowing what he was hesitating about, Su Mi opened his mouth to remind.

"Miss Gu......" Ni Tingxuan's tone was a little relieved and relaxed, and there was a bright and joyful light behind his still calm and gentle eyes.

He had a lot to ask her. But at this time, he couldn't say a word.

However, after just half a year of parting, Ni Tingxuan was sensitively aware. In this short period of time, something has changed almost qualitatively. This change made the two strangers and alienated, although they had never been close, but such unprovoked estrangement still made him feel unnatural.

Su Mi's appearance seems to have not changed in the slightest, although the splendid pearl cui has been replaced by a cloth thorn hairpin, but her eyebrows are still as light as smoke and her eyes are as clear as water. It is like a beautiful water lotus flower on the side of the clear water pool. Without those prosperous and colorful clusters, she is even more independent, and the cold moon is clear.

How did she escape? The Liao army in the palace is extremely vicious, the gate control in the capital is strict and meticulous, she is just an ordinary woman who has no martial arts at all, how much suffering she has suffered to escape from the hands of the Liao army!

There were countless doubts in his heart, and his mind turned a thousand times. But I don't know how to ask.

Su Mi also had many doubts in her heart, but she didn't have any scruples about him, she looked up at him and asked bluntly, "Why did you come here?" ”

He smiled calmly at her clear gaze, and she just escaped. To be able to see her again, and to see her safe, intact, he already felt that it was the greatest gift from heaven.

Ni Tingxuan was about to open his mouth to answer, when the voice of the accompanying knight came from outside the door, "Young master, it has been cleaned up." ”

Ni Tingxuan responded.

Su Mi looked at the more than 100 cavalry outside the half-hidden door, and asked again: "What are you here for this time?" ”

Ni Tingxuan replied: "This time I came for peace talks with the Liao army. I have just sent someone to inquire about the news, and I will wait for tomorrow to deliver the book into the city. "Face her. Ni Tingxuan has no intention of secrecy at all. Such military secrets were also blurted out.

What kind of negotiation can the young master of the Ni family come in person? Don't forget, the Ni family is only one of his sons. How could Ni Yuan be willing to be willing to take him hostage without fear that the Liao army would take him as a hostage? Su Mi looked at him suspiciously.

Under such a clear and straightforward gaze, Ni Tingxuan's face suddenly flashed a little embarrassed, and she avoided her suspicious and inquiring gaze a little unnaturally. How should he explain that he actually came here for her? In fact, when he had just arrived in Yongzhou and learned about his father's plan, after the initial shock and panic, he immediately sent someone to deliver the document to Ye Luxin, the Liao commander, hoping to rescue her. At the same time, he also ordered the people lurking in the city to secretly search for her whereabouts. But without the slightest clue, after receiving his letterhead, Yeluxin also ordered the whole city to search for this legendary favorite concubine of Emperor Qi, but there was no news at all. It was as if she had disappeared out of thin air, so that Ni Tingxuan couldn't rest assured no matter what. So this time, despite the opposition of his subordinates, he took advantage of the opportunity to negotiate with the Liao army and came to find it in person.

Su Mi didn't dwell on this question and asked, "Are you going to negotiate peace with the Liao army?" About what? ”

"It's about some military grain and grass affairs...... Ni Tingxuan said. The simple supply of grain and grass naturally did not work until he came in person, in fact, this time he came to the capital mainly to find her.

Before Ni Tingxuan's words were finished, suddenly there was an exclamation outside.

Before the two could react, the door was suddenly knocked open, "Young master, it's not good...... The person who came was the attendant knight beside Ni Tingxuan, and he hurriedly shouted: "The brothers who are guarding below have found that there are a lot of Liao troops on the mountain, and they are searching for something from village to village. Killed a lot of people, almost slaughtering the village. ”

Ni Tingxuan was taken aback, what did the Liao army appear here for at this time? Isn't it said that the actions of the Liao people outside the city have gradually relaxed recently.

"How many people came, and the people who just put up the sentry didn't alarm them, right?" His expression became solemn.

"No, there are about a thousand people from the Liao army. The subordinates reported quickly.

It's to search for others. Or is it for them? What does it mean if it's coming for them? Could it be that the Liao people want to break the treaty? But now that the supplies of the Liao army are still in their hands, how dare they break the contract with them?

Su Mi's face had changed, and she suddenly realized that according to the calculation of time, Ju Yuguan's side might have already acted.

If Mu Qinghan and Ge Chengming have succeeded, the Qi army abandoned Juyu Pass. The Liao army in the capital got the news that their supply routes were no longer under the control of the Yongzhou side. And because of the distance. Ni Tingxuan: They don't know the news yet.

At this time, the Liao army was ...... to the envoys from Yongzhou who were about to be sent to the door

If that's really the case, the situation is in crisis.

Su Mi immediately turned his head to Ni Tingxuan, who was still thinking about the Liao army's intentions, and asked, "This time the Liao army knows that you are here in person?" ”

"I don't know, it's just the usual escort of grain and grass and the exchange of information. Ni Tingxuan replied. He has a sensitive identity, of course, he came in secret, and he will not send sheep into the tiger's mouth with great fanfare.

That's okay, there's still a chance of life. Su Mi came back to her senses. The Liao army was about to turn against the Ni family, but they didn't know that Ni Tingxuan himself had actually sent it to the door. Otherwise, for such a big fish, there must be more than these centaurs.

"Prepare to leave here immediately, the target of the Liao army must be you. Su Mi shouted decisively.

Ni Tingxuan only brought a hundred and ten people, and he couldn't compete with the Liao army at all.

The soldier at the threshold looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously, how did this woman know? The Liao army will not turn against them at the moment, and the target of those Liao troops may be resistance forces in other places.

"Believe me," Su Mi said anxiously to Ni Tingxuan, "It's too late to explain now." If you don't want to die at the hands of the Liao army, just listen to me. ”

Looking at Su Mi's nervous expression, Ni Tingxuan's expression became solemn, and a faint light of deep thought flashed, but without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned around and ordered: "Notify everyone immediately." Get on your horse and leave. ”

Hearing the young master's words, although the soldier still had doubts on his face, he immediately ran out to report the news.

"Come with me," Ni Tingxuan said to Su Mi.

"I ......" Su Mi was stunned and hesitated, she would rather hide into the mountains and wait for Qi Hao or Ge Chengming to send someone to pick her up, how could she leave like this.

"Young master," Suddenly, the soldiers who were in charge of the reconnaissance left behind galloped back. From afar, he was already shouting, "Oh no. The Liao army has already come this way, and the horses are very fast. ”

Outside. The accompanying people and horses all changed their faces, and this time the Liao army's intentions were unknown, but it must have been a bad person. If Ni Tingxuan falls into the hands of the Liao army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

A knight in the ranks behind him shouted to this side: "Without further ado, young master, hurry up and get on your horse!" Before they could seal the road, we rushed out! ”

"These Liao soldiers are ferocious, how can you escape as a woman. Ni Tingxuan said anxiously, the Liao army arrived in a moment, and he didn't care whether Su Mi agreed, he took Su Mi's hand and hugged her by the waist.

Before Su Mi could scream, he had already carried her out of the bamboo house.

But in the blink of an eye, everyone outside was ready to go. Seeing the young master come out with a woman, everyone had a puzzled look on their faces, but they didn't ask any questions, waiting for his order.

"Now that the Liao army is suspicious, I'm afraid that things will change, so let's withdraw first and wait for news. Ni Tingxuan simply and quickly gave the order, and at the same time grabbed Su Mi's slender waist, lifted her on the horse, and then jumped on the horse, neither of them brought extra horses, and even if there were, Su Mi would not ride a horse. It's time to do it.

Su Mi was ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't struggle, now that the Liao army had been killed, it was unpredictable whether he could escape into the mountains in time, so he could only follow them for the time being.

Feeling the heat of the body on his back, Su Mi felt embarrassed for a while, although he was also hugged by him when he went to Hanshan Temple last time, but the kung fu of life and death, where did he care about this, and it was the harsh winter season, and the clothes were heavy, not like now, but separated by a thin layer of summer shirts.

In the distance, the figure of the Liao army has already appeared at the entrance of the village. The locals in the village had not yet been relieved from the freshness and curiosity of Ni Tingxuan's group of people, and the Liao people who arrived immediately afterwards made them fall into unprecedented fear and panic.

At the moment of crisis, Ni Tingxuan turned his horse's head, turned his head to a knight beside him and said: "Xiao Tang, you go and inform the villagers here, as well as the nearby villages, the Liao army is about to arrive, take everyone into the mountains to hide." ”

The knight immediately took the order.

Su Mi's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look up at Ni Tingxuan, she was about to suggest this, but before she could speak, Ni Tingxuan had already thought of it.

The villagers here took them in, and with the ferocity of the Liao army, they were afraid that they would not let them go. Fortunately, the village is close to the deep mountains, deep and tortuous, the villagers in the mountains have lived in the mountains since childhood, as long as they can hide in the mountains in time, the Liao people are helpless.

Seeing the approaching Liao army in the distance, although they had never been sacked by the Liao, the villagers had already felt the crisis, and they had already called for their wives and children and ran to the mountains.

Looking at the Liao soldiers in the distance, Su Mi's heart was gloomy, and she could only hope that they were safe and sound. But soon she didn't have time to worry about the villagers.

They will face an even more dangerous bloody charge.

Everyone rode their horses and rushed down the mountain, and in the rush, Su Mi looked behind her, the village was gradually becoming remote and smaller, and she suddenly realized that this period of life in the mountain was finally over completely.

And ahead, there are murderous Liao soldiers blocking the way......
