Volume 8 Chapter 10 The Returning of the Wild Goose
Chapter 10: The Wild Goose Returns to the Wild Goose
"There are our men and horses at the mouth of the river in front, so bear with me first. Ni Tingxuan whispered to Su Mi in his arms to comfort him.
They had been running non-stop for a day and a night.
When they broke out of the mountains that evening, although the Liao army had excellent combat strength and a large number of people, Ni Tingxuan's personal entourage was all elite, and they were quick to see the opportunity, and they were taken by surprise, and the Liao army was caught off guard.
After a desperate and bitter battle, the Liao army was rushed out by them before they could form an encirclement.
After everyone broke through, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and galloped directly to the east, trying to get rid of the Liao army that was tracking behind them.
When everyone rushed out of the encirclement, although no one in the Liao army recognized Ni Tingxuanlai, when they saw the posture of everyone protecting him in the middle, they also vaguely guessed that he must not be a simple character, and he kept chasing after him and refused to let go.
Several times to bite the tail and engage in battle, although each time he was able to successfully get rid of the Liao army, but the losses were not small, and now there are only a dozen horsemen following Ni Tingxuan's side. The rest of the men and horses died on the road.
The cavalry of the Liao army is excellent, unparalleled in the world, and the pursuit and escape of this day and night and the battles in turn break through, even the soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles can't bear it, not to mention that Su Mi's body is already weak.
Hearing Ni Tingxuan's words at this time, Su Mi nodded effortlessly, and the sound of the whistling wind made his breathing short, and it became extremely difficult to speak.
In such a difficult escape from life and death, she was like a crumbling leaf on a branch in late autumn. And the wind was howling in her ears, trying to sweep her away from the branches. She had experienced the desolation and helplessness of war more than once, but the seriousness and cruelty brought by war was tasted for the first time at this moment.
Her mind also became confused, and in the blur, only the warmth that clinged to it was still clear, which made her rely on it a little in this stormy moment.
The sun was setting, and the sunset was turning into a blood-like color. The red ground is dazzling.
At the moment when life and death are intertwined, Su Mi has never been so tired as now. She gritted her teeth and held on to keep herself from falling asleep. At the same time, there is no sound. Last time, because she couldn't stand the bumps on the horse and was exhausted, Ni Tingxuan couldn't bear it, so she asked the team to stop and rest, so that the Liao people caught up again.
She understood that now that the Liao army was biting the ground in the back, once it was pursued, it would be absolutely impossible to get out again with this little bit of remaining men and horses.
When I was groggy and about to reach my limit. But hearing the few knights around him suddenly burst into cheers, Su Mi barely cheered up, and looked up to see that it was a turbulent river, like a shining silver satin, spreading out into the distance. Her spirits lifted, and she had already reached the Donghuai River, farther away. It can be seen that the army stationed in a tight position is the army that the Ni family arranged to stay there to respond.
Saved!
Everyone escaped death and instantly relieved their hearts.
The horses seemed to feel the atmosphere and rushed forward with the last of their strength.
The people in the camp had already seen the crowd, and immediately there were men and horses who were ready to go out to greet them.
The two groups of people mingled, and the fugitives stopped their horses with relief. Immediately, several horses fell to their knees because they could not withstand such a long and violent gallop.
Several knights got up from the ground half-crawling and half-falling, turned around and looked back, the pursuing Liao soldiers and horses could catch up, and seeing the formation of the Ni family's army here, they all stopped the horses.
After wandering for a while, they were already sleepy, and seemed to know that this time the matter was no longer possible, so they didn't dare to stay long, turned their horses' heads, and immediately rushed back.
"Young master. What's going on? "Dou Feng rode his horse to Ni Tingxuan. He looked at the soldiers and horses in the distance in disbelief. Looking at the appearance, it seems to be the Liao army. Why did they chase and kill their soldiers and horses in Yongzhou?
Seeing that the Liao army had already ridden back and was about to go away, he hurriedly asked, "Do you want to pursue?" ”
"No need," Ni Tingxuan said, "It's just a small team of Liao people." The whole army prepared to withdraw the camp and return to Yongzhou. The situation has changed......"
He turned around, and Dou Feng saw the person in his arms clearly, and was shocked inexplicably: "This ...... It's ......"
"I'll talk about it later. Ni Tingxuan interrupted him and hugged Su Mi off the horse.
Su Mi's tiredness had almost reached the limit, and the bumps on the horseback made her dizzy, and she wanted to struggle to get down by herself, but her body that had maintained a posture for a long time was already a little stiff, and she didn't stop calling at all, just such a simple movement, she felt dizzy.
In the end, she seemed to hear Ni Tingxuan whispering in her ear: "It's safe, you can sleep first." ”
She knew that she was safe for the time being, so she put her mind at ease, no longer insisted, and only felt that she had fallen into a warm and soft place, and fell asleep.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When I woke up, it was already dawn, and the sunlight was like a fine gold thread, pouring in from the small window around me.
Su Mi turned her still sour body, the tiredness had not completely disappeared, she looked up and saw that she seemed to be lying on a carriage with intricate patterns carved on the roof. Embroidered gold curtains on both sides hang from the carved window frames, obscuring the view of the outside world, and sunlight faintly penetrates through the gaps in the silk fabric. On one side of the carriage, there was a small jasper table with delicate snacks and fruit wine.
She was covered with heavy hides and cushions, and she didn't feel the slightest jolt even when she walked, so that she didn't realize she was in the carriage at first.
She reached out and lifted the corner of the curtain slightly, and the bright sunlight outside immediately stung her eyes. It took a while for her to get used to the overly bright light and her eyes widened to the sky. How long did she sleep? It's already noon!
Su Mi narrowed her eyes, adjusted the light in her eyes, and looked into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless plain, and the green carpet spreads on the ground, with layers of golden light, and when you look closely, you will find that it is a field of wheat. The wheat was on the verge of ripening, with a brilliant golden glow of green. A gust of wind passed. Layers of wheat waves lie low, rising and falling like waves, beautiful and magnificent.
The wind blew the curtains in Su Mi's hands, flowing through Su Mi's nose, sending a natural fragrance. Su Mi's mood suddenly brightened. Seeing such a vibrant and prosperous scene close to a good harvest will make anyone feel a sense of spontaneous satisfaction.
A few peasants who were working stood in the middle of the fields and looked over this direction. There was undisguised curiosity in his eyes.
Su Mi narrowed his gaze, and the carriage he was in was moving forward steadily, surrounded by heavily armed cavalry. The front and back can faintly see the endless army horses. Where is this heading?
"You woke up, how did you feel? Do you want to call a doctor again? The light of the window was mostly obscured, and Ni Tingxuan's gentle voice came immediately.
Su Mi raised his head, and from this angle, he couldn't see his clear face, only the bright sunlight reflected behind him. makes him himself a light source.
Su Mi suddenly smiled, and he was saved by him again. First of all, the thought crept into her mind.
"I'm fine, where am I going now?" Su Mi couldn't help but ask.
"It's on the way back to Yongzhou. ”
Yongzhou?! Su Mi felt that her train of thought froze for a moment.
She rethought the scene two days ago, the encounter with him, the Liao army's killing, and the escape on the line of life and death...... All of this happened too quickly. So that she didn't even have time to think carefully, as if before she knew it, people had already arrived in this carriage.
"We're almost halfway there, and we still have four or five days left. Ni Tingxuan smiled and said: "The carriage and horses are tired, you bear with it first, and then have a good rest when you get to Yongzhou." ”
Yongzhou?!
Su Mi suddenly realized that he would have a day to Yongzhou and a day to Ni Yuan's sphere of influence.
There is nothing more wonderful about life than this.
But at this time, can she still have a choice? Things are going on beyond her imagination and control. She couldn't just jump out of this carriage right now.
Then I thought about it again. Have the people of the village escaped safely now? Did the Liao people embarrass them again?
When these questions drilled into Su Midi's mind one by one, fatigue also permeated. Let's talk about it when we settle down. Thinking tiredly, she nodded at Ni Tingxuan, she lowered the curtain and leaned back on the soft cushion.
Ni Tingxuan watched the curtain come down, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.
He had received accurate information, and the supply line of Juyu Pass in the north had been opened. Now the Liao people have begun to gather troops and horses in the country, preparing to go south to support Yeluxin stationed in the capital.
At this time, although the Liao people have not officially turned their faces with Yongzhou, once the foundation of cooperation is lost, it is naturally impossible for the cooperative relationship between the two sides to continue, at least not in the way it is now.
There is only one reason for all these changes, Mu Qinghan in the north took the initiative to abandon Juyu Pass!
Since the Juyu Pass lord Qian Wanol died in the hands of the Liao people in April, Guan Nei has always been Jia Tong in charge of the overall situation, he is also one of his father's long-term cultivation of cronies, his father placed him in Juyu Pass, just to wait for this day, as long as he can lead the defenders of Guan Nei to resist the Liao people who intend to go south, the situation in the world is not difficult to grasp. But the news of his death had just arrived. On the seventh day of the eighth month, during a tour of the battlefield, he was assassinated by the Liao assassin master and died on the spot. All the defense authority within Juyu Pass fell into the hands of the only deputy general, Mu Qinghan.
Ni Tingxuan couldn't help but sigh,
Why would Qinghan do this? Is it his own will, or is it ...... And is it really the master of the Liao people who assassinated Jia Tong? Still is...... Or do you want to ignore him......
Ni Tingxuan's eyes fell on the car unconsciously. And how did she escape alone from the capital where the Liao people were entrenched?
All this made him have to think deeply.
Now, the loss of Juyu Pass has changed the situation in the whole world, and my father's organs have been exhausted, and there are unexpected variables after all.
After that, where should they go from here?
What worries him the most is that what will happen to his wife and sister who are still trapped in the capital, thinking of this, Ni Tingxuan's heart is full of stagnant worries,
Perhaps the only consolation is that she has escaped safely after all. No matter what kind of force it has.
