Chapter 4 (2)
Dark One and Yuening's carriage had already left the city. Yue Ning sat on the cushion of the carriage and touched the wall behind her, but she was also cushioned with cotton wool and made it extremely soft. She knew that Yan Ziqian's character would definitely not care about these subtleties, she saw through the gap in the light gauze of the car window that Dark One was riding on a horse and closely following the carriage, and when Dark saw her open the curtain, she hurriedly lowered her head and asked softly, "But the wound hurts?" ”
Yue Ning shook her head, "Brother Yi, did you prepare the carriage?" Darkly blushed and smiled, "Doctor Guo said that the wound on your back has not healed yet, and I want to hurry up, and the bumps on the way are not easy for the wound to heal, so I took the initiative to add some cotton wool." ”
Yue Ning looked at the appearance of the dark one, and couldn't help laughing, but she didn't know that the carriage was bumpy and pulled the wound. Yue Ning couldn't help frowning, and asked secretly, "Did you get a wound?" You sit down, let's walk slowly, the emperor will only go on the expedition for five days, the army will inevitably march on the official road, if King Ning has a move behind him, he will wait until the emperor arrives at the border to move. ”
Dark One thought about it seriously, and said which way to take would be smooth and less time-consuming, Yue Ning looked at him in a daze, I don't know when Dark One was not the secret guard who only resigned himself to Yan Ziqian. Perhaps in the long years, in the heart of her next brother, the master is no longer the whole of his life, and every time he travels back and forth between the Beijing Palace and the Qiancheng Villa, he slowly cares more about the woman who once gave him the name. Yue Ning suddenly remembered the appearance of Dark Yi coming to the capital courtyard every time to settle the accounts for Yan Ziqian. Perhaps the identity of Yan Ziqian's owner concealed the ability of the dark one, making people mistakenly think that the dark one was just obeying his guards. Now watching him carefully analyze the situation and slowly think about how to make Yue Ning more relaxed, Yue Ning went back to the time when the young Butler Yue was still there, and her stepfather also thought about her everywhere......
This is the first time in many years that Yue Ning has gone far away. More often, she stayed in the courtyard of the capital, sorting out the information from the shadows and sending it back to the villa. What she didn't expect was that this trip to Beijing was to dedicate herself to Huizong.
Dark One's words stopped abruptly, "Brother Yi, how do you ......" Yue Ning couldn't help but look at Dark One in confusion, but before the words fell, Dark One kicked the saddle with his right foot, flew up and jumped on the roof of the carriage, and without looking at it, he pulled out the long sword on his waist and stabbed it into the tree. The man in black who jumped down from the tree hurriedly took a few steps back, and at this time, the man in black who was hiding in the surrounding grass saw that it was exposed, and hurriedly jumped out to hide and surrounded the carriage.
Secretly mentioning the sword did not dare to relax, "I don't know if I have offended you, you have followed all the way, and it is also hard." ”
A man walked out of the man in black, and the man took off his veil, and it turned out to be the guard of King Ning who had fought with Dark One. "My lord has something to say to the owner of the village."
Yue Ning was already shrunk in the carriage at this time, and the maid in the carriage shrank in the corner and shivered. Yue Ning wanted to open the curtain when she heard the man's words, but the maid grabbed her cuffs, but Yue Ning didn't care, pulled the carriage without authorization, looked around, and the man who took the lead, a total of eight people surrounded their carriage. Yue Ning didn't care about anything else, got out of the carriage, and said coldly: "My master is still living in the capital courtyard, if the prince has something, it is better to go to the other courtyard to discuss with my master." This time we were just going to buy goods, and there were only me and the maid in the car. ”
"Girl, you don't have to be deceived, Ning Wang Xiande, if you go with him, won't your Qiancheng Villa go to the next level? Good birds choose trees to perch, if the girl goes back and gives your owner, King Ning will definitely remember his intentions. ”
After hearing this, he walked up to the man, "You Wanfu Mountain is originally a martial arts sect, how can you be involved in the court dispute?" Today's saint is the true dragon son of heaven, you and others assisted King Ning to frame Your Majesty, and you don't want to think about whether Wanfu Mountain can afford to be accused of being a rebellious minister and a thief! ”
The man smiled when he heard this, "In this case, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill Miss's wishes, and you can't go here!" As soon as the man's voice fell, he flew up again, everyone changed their formation, and slowly approached the carriage, Yue Ning also took out the sword on her body and wanted to fight side by side with Dark One, but saw Dark One push her into the carriage. Don't come out! ”
Yue Ning couldn't care about the pain behind her, so she couldn't help but open the curtain and watch Dark One fight with everyone. Seeing this, the man hurriedly used light skills to get close to the dark one, and slapped it straight to the dark one's heart, and the dark one had to take a few steps back, and the man in black behind saw this, stepped forward with a knife, and slashed at the dark one's arm, and the dark one rolled on the spot in embarrassment, narrowly avoiding the attack. The man saw that the dark one was tired of coping, and he took out a few silver needles and shot them fiercely in the direction of the dark one, and the dark one had not yet stood firm, so he saw a few silver needles flying towards him, and he was busy dancing a sword flower, and a man in black took the opportunity to attack from the left side, and a knife slashed, and the dark hand that did not hold the sword passed diagonally with his fist palm, and grabbed the hand of the man in black fiercely, at this time the silver needles had all been knocked down, and the dark one turned over and stabbed the key point of the man in black, and the man in black was no longer able to struggle.
The remaining seven people saw that the dark one was fierce, and they no longer hesitated, and the seven people who changed the formation attacked at the same time, and the dark one looked awe-inspiring, and suddenly flew out of the encirclement. The man saw that everyone was not a dark opponent, so he looked at Yue Ning, who was always alert with a long sword in the distance, and the man attacked Yue Ning, and secretly wanted to go over to rescue Yue Ning, but was entangled by six people.
The man slashed at Yue Ning, who was already alert and hurriedly turned around to hide. Yue Ning's swordsmanship had to be passed on in secret, although he was not defeated by the man, he was dexterous and light, and the man did not get the slightest benefit after a few moves. Yue Ning's back injury had not healed, and she was gradually a little invincible, and her face couldn't help but show fatigue. Knowing that Yue Ning couldn't withstand the surging attack, he couldn't help but become impatient in his heart, he glanced at Gu Yue Ning from time to time, but he gradually fell behind, and was almost injured by the six men in black.
The man gradually noticed that Yue Ning had an injury on his back, and raised the knife to slash at Yue Ning's shoulder, Yue Ning dodged sideways and happened to expose his back, the man's left hand turned into a palm, and a palm slashed at Yue Ning, Yue Ning suddenly felt pain, and was pushed to the side of the carriage by the man. As soon as Dark saw Yue Ning spit out a mouthful of blood, he couldn't take care of himself, and rolled over next to Yue Ning with a knife, and the man saw that Dark was protecting Yue Ning, and hurriedly shot out a few silver needles, but Dark Yi still endured it, pulled out the silver needles on his arm, and returned the coefficient, while the man resisted, he quickly set up Yue Ning and fled.
The six men in black hurriedly chased after them. The man frowned slightly, pulled the maid out of the carriage, was furious, and cut off the maid's head with a knife.
Yan Ziqian and Guo Chuanbai had just had lunch when they saw the porter walk in with a huge brocade box. "Lord of the village, King Ning sent someone to send a congratulatory gift."
After speaking, the little maid put the brocade box on the table and retreated. Yan Ziqian glanced at the brocade box, and then looked at Guo Chuanbai. Guo Chuanbai opened the brocade box, and inside it was the maid's head. Guo Chuanbai took the brocade box to Yan Ziqian, and Yan Ziqian threw the brocade box out of the door hatefully.
"Will Dark One and Yuening be in their hands?"
Guo Chuanbai thought for a moment and said, "Ning Wangcheng's mansion is quite deep, and although the martial arts of a few disciples are quite high, they are still a little worse than the dark one. Let's ignore it for the time being, if Yuening and Dark One are in his hands, he will definitely not be able to hold back. ”
Yan Ziqian walked to the door, saw the head of the person rolling to the ground at the door, and sighed lowly. "King Ning is definitely going to do something to the Holy One. Uncle Guo, if the saint is really killed, and I have a bad relationship with King Ning, how can I rehabilitate my Wang family. ”
The army marched for seven days, and war reports came from the border gates every day, and after several battles, they won less and lost more. At this time, two cities have been lost in a row, and the Vietnamese army has a faint tendency to attack Longtan this time. Every time Huizong saw the battle report, he couldn't help urging the army to go faster, and the original ten-day journey was shortened by three days. At this time, there was still one day to reach the pre-war, although Huizong knew that the war was tight at this time, but he also knew that the soldiers were marching day and night, and they were already tired, and finally camped not far from the border city to rest.
Jiang Peng was leaning on the small couch of the big tent at this time, and a soldier was pinching his legs. At this moment, a soldier trotted in with the little guy from Jiang Mansion outside the door, and when Jiang Peng saw the little guy, he knew that he was hurrying day and night to catch up with the army, and hurriedly kicked the soldier who was beating his leg to the side. "But my father has a letter for you to deliver?" But the servant did not answer, but looked at the two soldiers in the tent. "But it doesn't hurt for you to say that. Both of them were my father's own soldiers. ”
The little guy hurriedly handed the letterhead in his arms to Jiang Peng. "The master said that he would bring this letter to the young master."
Jiang Peng opened the letter. The letter was written by Jiang Lin himself, and the benefits and disadvantages were explained, Jiang Peng was slightly surprised after reading the letter, and his face was indeed full of excitement after being surprised. "What does my father want from me?"
The little guy stepped forward and whispered a few words to Jiang Peng, Jiang Peng looked at the little guy, and then clapped his hands and praised: "You go back and tell my father to rest assured, if my Jiang clan can go further, what if you take some risks!" ”
Zhang Chenliang, the border city guard, stood on top of the high city tower, two days ago, he received a battle report that Yao Guo had lost two cities in a row, this morning the Vietnamese army had attacked once, and the whole city bravely resisted heavy losses, only to resist the first wave of the Vietnamese army's attack. At this time, the Vietnamese army had retreated, and everyone began to carry the wounded soldiers for treatment, and the city tower was full of devastation. Zhang Chenliang was the last wave of talents before the Yue Kingdom moved south, but because Yao Guo broke through the capital, his career was delayed. A few years ago, Yao Taizu reopened the scientific examination, and he won the Jinshi in one fell swoop, but because he was born in the former dynasty, he only got an idle position as a border guard. Now he looks at the broken mountains and rivers, his heart is quite mixed, he doesn't know which side he hopes to win this battle, he is a slave with two surnames after all, and his position is also very embarrassing. He slowly walked on the tower after the battle, the wounded soldiers on the ground, including Yao people and Yue soldiers who attacked the city, he watched them cry out in pain, struggle, and tears, and his heart suddenly became extremely panicked.
Since the beginning of the war, Zhang Chenliang has asked himself countless times whether he is right to be a leader. A soldier with a wounded arm in front of him hugged a corpse next to him and cried, and Zhang Chenliang recognized this person as the second son of a blacksmith in the city, and everyone called him Xiaohuzi. Xiaohuzi joined the army with his brother, and he didn't understand the troubles when he smiled all day long, and at this time he saw that his brother's chest was full of blood, and he still held the weapon firmly when he died, but he could only hold the corpse and cry heartbreakingly. Xiaohuzi suddenly picked up the knife on the ground and stabbed it into the heart of a wounded soldier of the Yue Kingdom not far away, and then ran back to the corpse, shouting "Brother, brother......"
Zhang Chenliang was so frightened when he saw this scene that his legs were weak, and he almost fell to his knees, but there was a person behind him who held him up, and he looked at the person behind him gratefully, and that person turned out to be a woman. The phoenix tail feather pattern on the woman's collar is particularly eye-catching in this drowsy battlefield, and this woman is the maid of the Taishou Mansion. Zhang Chenliang couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she saw it, at this time, the war had just stopped, how did that woman climb to the top of this city tower just a maid? I saw that the maid held him firmer, that Zhang Chenliang was a scholar, and he had his own generals in front of him when he was defending the city, and this time he saw the Vietnamese army being killed, and his heart was even more terrified, so he couldn't struggle at all. I saw that the maid was close to Zhang Chenliang's ear, and slowly spit out a sentence: "The slave maid in the south asked you, do you still remember your surname Yue or your surname Sima?" ”
When Zhang Chenliang heard this, he suddenly collapsed on the maid's body.
