Chapter 137: Life hangs by a thread
The vast sky and wilderness meet, the sky is dark and gloomy with the approaching storm, the green grass bent over by the manic wind and sand trembles, and the four hooves of the horses steadily step over the tender grass juice, indifferent and ruthless. The man on the horse was dressed in a light jade-colored brocade suit, luxurious and awe-inspiring, and the palm bones of the hand holding the reins were blue and white, and he knew that he had good kung fu at a glance.
Xiao Baishan has been walking in the army all the year round, rarely coming and going to the palace, even Yi Chenjing has only come into contact for the first time on this expedition, not to mention the subordinates of the five princes who are expressionless and arrogant, but this young man who has only seen a few faces left a deep impression on him, not only because of the mysterious and rare green eyes, but also because of the cold numbness hidden in the eyes.
"The last general was ordered to pursue the fugitives, this is the order of the general himself, if there is any conflict with Lord Su, please avoid." After being slightly surprised, Xiao Baishan quickly calmed down and shouted loudly, and quietly protected Bai Qige and Bai Haoyu behind him.
Su Jinyan, who was coming on, could hear Xiao Baishan's shouting but did not react, he still drove his horse slowly unhurriedly, casually pulled out the arrow from the arrow basket behind him, bent the bow and pulled it full, and went straight towards the three people who were actually escorted by the escape. Needless to say, this situation has obviously reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, either Su Jinyan killed three people, or he was killed by Xiao Baishan and others.
"The end will delay as much as possible, the princess please take Bai Gongzi to Lingyun City as soon as possible." Xiao Baishan said in a low voice.
Bai Qige was worried about hanging, she knew very well that Xiao Baishan was a loyal veteran, if she was not cornered, she would never give up the important task of escorting their sister and brother to Lingyun City, depending on the situation, the loyal deputy general of the Yao Army wanted to fight with Su Jinyan and broke the net.
The slender brows furrowed slightly, and the question that had been haunting her heart for a long time came again, and Bai Qige really wanted to know which side Su Jinyan was on.
In the past, when Su Jinyan was in the Yaoguo Palace, she had both kindness and resentment towards her, suddenly incarnated as a protector, and suddenly incarnated as a ruthless assassin, as Yi Chenxuan's male favorite and confidant, is he helping her or harming her. If it was a help, repeated attacks were merciless and almost killed her, if it was harm, in the school military field, when Hongque Yuan was being chased and killed, why did he suddenly appear to help her in danger.
The man was like a mystery, like his bewitching green eyes, which he could not see through or guess.
It is useless to think more, only the facts will prove everything.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige unexpectedly flashed in front of Xiao Baishan, and stood tall with a thin body: "What did Yi Chenxuan send you to do." Kill me or Xiao Yu. Or either to kill both. ”
People with deep internal strength often have excellent hearing, and all the words Bai Qige said entered Su Jinyan's ears word for word, and her jade-like beautiful eyes flickered, and she only said lightly when she was less than twenty zhang away from the three people: "It's not yet time for you to die." ”
In other words, the target this time is Bai Haoyu. After determining the other party's intentions, Bai Qige did not retreat but advanced, standing side by side with Xiao Baishan to defend his frightened younger brother, with a resolute look on his delicate face that was not inferior to that of a man.
"You have the ability to take it yourself."
The words fell like a password, and in an instant, the swords came out, and the cold light was staggered. Bai Qige and Xiao Baishan had a tacit understanding to shoot at the same time, and their bodies were as fast as they were, and Bai Haoyu was dumbfounded.
Su Jinyan's long eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not afraid of the two who suddenly attacked, and he turned his head slightly and closed his eyes with one eye, but he was aiming at the primary target in a short moment when the sword was rushing, not considering that the veteran and the woman who was always impressive were about to rush to the front.
Calm and calm in the face of danger, such people are born killers.
Su Jinyan could not care about his own life, but Bai Qige could not ignore his younger brother's life, and found that the other party wanted to achieve his goal at all costs, and the menacing attack immediately turned to defense. The horizontal knife was raised and swept diagonally, not at the slender arm that pulled the bow but at the cluster of arrows that were about to fly out, Su Jinyan's movements were too fast, and he let go of his hand in the blink of an eye, and Bai Qige could only cut off the feather arrow from it. Rao was like this, and the back half of the powerful feather arrow still attacked Bai Haoyu at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and a muffled sound hit the young man's strong chest.
"Xiao Yu." Bai Qige stopped his body and hurriedly looked back, and when he saw a little blood spilling from the corner of Bai Haoyu's mouth and covering his heart in pain, his mind thundered.
The Bai family has fallen to this point, she does not seek glory and wealth and enjoy dignity again, she only wants her father and mother to live a long and healthy life, and her brothers and relatives are safe and sound, can't even this little wish be realized. Back then, it was she who instigated Bai Haoyu, who was careless, to make a big mistake, even if she had to pay it back, she should be right, Xiao Yu shouldn't die.
The moment she turned around, Bai Qige forgot the precept that the instructor had told her: never expose your body to the enemy.
Now, it was Su Jinyan who was wearing a sword and holding a bow behind her.
"The princess is careful." A cold light crossed his sight, Xiao Baishan exclaimed in surprise and stabbed at Su Jinyan on the horse, but Su Jinyan had already taken precautions, and as soon as he turned over, he jumped under the horse and easily avoided the blow, and methodically drew the long sword at his waist and rushed towards Bai Qige, who was facing back.
With his kung fu, with his experience, it was easy to take someone's life at such a close distance.
When the thousands of troops were attacked, how could they take care of anything else, all that was left in their minds was the night, the young prince in the military tent, Yin Yin's entrustment and eager gaze, Xiao Baishan gritted his teeth, and actually flew to stop between Bai Qige and Su Jinyan. No one wants to die, and being able to live and enjoy his life is Xiao Baishan's greatest wish in this life, but for some reason, when Yi Chenjing solemnly bowed and asked him to keep Bai Qige safe no matter what, a long-lost emotion made him unable to refuse.
He still remembers how his childhood sweetheart's wife died at the hands of the enemy.
He still remembered that the stiffened bones had their tokens tightly written in their hands.
He still remembered that he cried for the last time in the pouring rain, but he couldn't cry the guilt of a lifetime.
The conquest of the eight directions is not to make meritorious contributions and glorify the lintel, but to protect the family and defend the country, no longer let the tragedy repeat itself, no longer see the life and death of lovers, and no longer make a marriage turn into eternal sorrow.
For the sake of a pair of troubled dragons and phoenixes who are entangled in bitter love and vow to do not regret, this life is willing to give up.
Hearing Xiao Baishan exclaimed next to him, he realized the surging killing intent behind him, and saw Bai Haoyu's face in front of him was miserable and white, Bai Qige thought that her road had really come to an end, and an oversight caused her to die at the hands of the enemy, and she had no choice but to fulfill the promise of being together.
Xiao ...... The general ......" Bai Haoyu was shocked and frightened, and he couldn't speak, his voice changed his tone was hoarse and dry, and his eyes were full of tears.
At that moment, Bai Qige finally understood what was happening.
Turning around, Su Jinyan, who couldn't hit Su Jinyan, who quickly dodged, his shoulders sank, and Xiao Baishan, who staggered backwards and fell, was crashing into his body, Bai Qige held the sword in one hand and held Xiao Baishan in the other, his eyes swept away, and his chest breath was stagnant.
Su Jinyan's sword was stabbing Xiao Baishan in the upper abdomen, I don't know the depth, but the blood gushing out quickly stained the armor red, if he can't get timely treatment, he will definitely die.
Between the thought of life and death, the arrogant lieutenant general in his prime didn't care about his injuries at all, and pushed Bai Qige away a few feet away, and Su Jinyan, who missed a blow, couldn't do it if he wanted to catch up, and was caught off guard by Xiao Baishan who was arched up and hugged by his waist, and couldn't break free for a while.
"Let's go. Walk. ”
In the ears of the rough and violent drink, Xiao Baishan, who has always been peaceful, showed his manic side for the first time, relying on his burly strength to temporarily control Su Jinyan, at the cost of the ups and downs of the heavy punches on his back and the fishy sweetness.
In terms of the art of war and tactics, charging and slashing Su Jinyan is not Xiao Baishan's opponent, but when it comes to one-on-one enemy control tricks, Xiao Baishan and Su Jinyan are 108,000 miles apart, and he is the last barrier of the Bai family's sisters and brothers, if Xiao Baishan falls, there will be no one who can delay Su Jinyan's footsteps and bring a glimmer of life, whether it is Bai Qige or Bai Haoyu, they will be buried in the vast plain today. Bai Qige knew the stakes well, even if his heart was like a knife, he couldn't bear it, he could only turn around and leave, otherwise...... Xiao Baishan died in vain.
Taking advantage of Su Jinyan's inability to act, Bai Qige quickly ran to Bai Haoyu's side and led the horse: "Xiao Yu." Launched. ”
"But, General Xiao,"
"I told you to get on the horse." A moment of delay means that Xiao Baishan suffers a moment of pain, Bai Qige did not have the patience to explain, grabbed Bai Haoyu and dragged him onto the horse, clamped his feet, and galloped out.
Listening to the sound of hooves, Xiao Baishan knew that their sister and brother had already gotten on the horse, and a smile of relief appeared on Zihong's face, and then a mouthful of blood coughed up, and he was no longer able to support it. Su Jinyan, who was accustomed to being expressionless, also had a hint of annoyance, raised his elbow and slammed it down, and after a muffled snort, Xiao Baishan let go of his arm and collapsed to the ground, his dull eyes looked at the direction of the Bai family's siblings leaving, and gradually became cloudy.
Pulling away from such a distance, I can't catch up anymore.
If it were someone else, he would definitely give up in frustration, looking at the looming figure in the tall grass and scolding and turning away, unfortunately, the person who was the chaser at this time was Su Jinyan, the most mysterious and unfathomable special existence in the entire Yaoguo Palace, whether it was Xiao Baishan or Bai Qige, no one thought that he was still insisting. Dropping the sword and pulling the longbow again, with a twist of the wrist, a special iron arrow shot out of the air, precise and powerful, the wind howled as if to say, don't drink blood, never land.
Bai Qige, who was unaware, was still at a loss in the gallop, Su Jinyan had saved her and wanted to kill her, obviously saying that the target was Bai Haoyu and attacking her again, his words really couldn't be true. That is, what is the reason for the inconsistent behavior that the answer is false? The mystery is getting bigger and bigger, and it is long beyond the scope of her speculation, who can tell which ones are true and which ones are false. The country is a chess piece, and there is still a lot of danger in the puzzle waiting for her.
A series of questions could not be answered, and when I was exhausted, I only thought about how good it would be if Yi Chenjing was by my side.
At least while he was there, she could have a moment of peace and quiet.
The distant hope was shattered by the cruel reality, the sound of arrows approached in the snap of his fingers, and before he had time to look back, the horse that was galloping suddenly trembled and threw the two siblings on their backs to the ground, and struggled for a long time before they could barely sit up. When I opened my eyes again through the choking dust, a shadow shook off my vision, and the ensuing face was delicate but indifferent.
The pursuers have arrived.
