Chapter 69: Reunion on the Narrow Road
"Well, it's not far off."
Hu Er responded casually, seeing that he was about to enter the territory of Yi Ri, and bringing them back safely could be regarded as completing the entrustment of the punishment. But their lord, as well as Yi Rihui, are still in danger, and they don't know if they can get out safely, and how to let him rest assured.
What's more, the punishment is not light this time, on the surface, it is Yi Rihui's reckless and impulsive recklessness to sneak into the Qi country with the vanguard army, but in fact?
The criminal has secretly handed over the military and political power of the entire northern country to Hushan, and it is clear that he has long regarded him as his successor.
Although Hu Shan has always been reluctant to admit it and even more unwilling to accept it, how could they not see that Xing had already had the intention to retire, and he used to want to unload his burden to pursue the figure in his heart, and now that Miss Yue has appeared, how long will he or they stay here?
They don't belong here at all, and even if they have bonds here, they still have to leave.
The punishment has long been intended for Hu Shan to take over as the future monarch of the northern country, which is already an open secret in the northern country, so if there is no nod from Hu Shan, and then send a large army to cooperate with Yi Rihui's vanguard army as a containment and cover, Yi Rihui's vanguard army alone will simply be sent to death in vain.
How could the torture not have guessed this?
Coupled with the decision made by Amber Mountain without authorization, this time the account was really not so easy to calculate, and even a few of them would definitely not be able to escape the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.
But even so, he still has no regrets.
As long as their lord is safe, what is it to be punished a little, presumably Hu Shan also thinks so, but this time the matter is too wide, and Hu Shan has made an initiative to change the deployment of the punishment that has already been set, and I am afraid that the next thing will be difficult to end.
"You say, Miss Yue, they're going to be fine, right?"
Compared with Hu Er's worries, the grassland wilderness that looms everywhere in the eye makes Qi Su feel an indescribable anxiety and yearning in his heart.
Behind him is a place of pain that is gradually drifting away, but in front of him is a new world of confusion and unknown.
Just thinking of this, Qi Su couldn't calm down anymore, and simply sat on the wheel with Xiaoba in his arms, his eyes looking into the distance without blinking, eager to take in the world in front of him and brand it into his heart.
"Since the Lord is all right, I am sure he will bring them back safely."
Hu Er responded casually, as if he was stating a belief that was ordinary but had never had any doubts, but such a determination suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in Qi Su's ears.
She seems to have unreservedly regarded someone as the only faith in this life, but what is the result?
Finally, it was still shattered.
And it was only a few months ago, but now that I think about it, it feels like a lifetime has passed.
She finally escaped, but what would happen when she could?
Will there be another person who will become the only one in her heart like the one she once was, and walk with her towards a new life?
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Qi Su's heart, but at the same time as this thought flashed, Xiao Wei's white and handsome face quietly appeared in front of her.
“。。。 No way... How could it be him ... ”
"Shhh Tap my little ancestor! Hurt! ”
Qi Su was stunned suddenly, subconsciously muttered, and with a shake of his hand, he almost threw Xiao Hachi out, so frightened that Xiao Hachi immediately grabbed Hu Er's arm, and his sharp claws pierced into his flesh.
Xiaoba glanced at him sadly, hurriedly let go of his claws and jumped on his shoulder, but he refused to return to Qi Su's arms.
Xiaoba made such a fuss, and Hu Er noticed Qi Su's distraction.
"What can't be? Who is he? ”
Qi Su's face changed, his expression was suddenly a little unnatural, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word.
How can she say it, when she thinks of the ignorant future and the new students who are far away from the past, the first person who comes to mind will be Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei, who had been ignored and ignored by her for seven years, and then angered and resented by her, and wanted to kill him with his own hands, had already had such a great weight in her heart.
“。。。 It's nothing, it's just that the thought of entering the northern kingdom soon, my heart suddenly feels a little uneasy. ”
Qi Su silently lowered her eyes, Hu Er knew that she didn't want to say more and didn't want to be reluctant, and suddenly thought that when she first saw Qi Su, she looked so poignant and sharp, but now she hasn't seen it for a long time, but I'm afraid that even she herself hasn't figured it out yet, and the reason why she made such a change is not just time.
"No matter what the situation between the two countries is, General Xiao has always been the eldest brother of Miss Yue sincerely, not to mention that General Xiao has saved the lives of my lord and the girl, and he has inherited the trust of General Xiao, so he will definitely take good care of the girl, and will never treat the girl badly."
Seeing that Fang Cai Qi Su's expression was different, Hu Er didn't dare to determine whether it was related to Xiao Wei, so he was tempted, and mentioned Xiao Wei three or four times in one sentence.
He vaguely remembered that in the past, Qi Su didn't even want to hear Xiao Wei's name, except for turning a deaf ear to her with a cold face, and he wanted everyone to know that she hated Xiao Wei, but now...
"Although I grew up in the Qi Kingdom since I was a child, I have also heard of the famous name of the king of the Northern Kingdom. Although Qi Su is fortunate to be taken care of by the king, I am afraid that my identity will inevitably make it difficult for the king. ”
When Hu Erfen saw that he had deliberately mentioned Xiao Wei, Qi Su's face was a little unnatural, but even so, Qi Su still deliberately avoided his words.
It seems that although the knot has been loosened, it is still far from being fully opened.
"If it's for this matter, then Miss Su will worry too much. My lord's temper has always been his own way, and he never cares what others say as long as it is what he believes. You just said Miss Yue, that is the princess of Yongning who worshiped heaven and earth, but the lord openly robbed his relatives and didn't say anything, and he had already let go, and the future queen of the Northern Kingdom didn't think about it except for Miss Yue. ”
As soon as Hu Er's words fell, Qi Su faintly laughed, perhaps because his tone was much more relaxed when he talked about the past, mixed with a trace of childish dissatisfaction and grievances, whether it was the arbitrary lord in his words, or the cordial and casual feeling of admiring the prisoner but like a relative, it was a feeling that Qi Su had never experienced or even imagined.
She suddenly had some envy and some expectation, and she vaguely understood why the northern country, which was once like a plate of scattered sand, could stand tenaciously for hundreds of years under the watchful eye of the Qi country.
"With such a lord, presumably the two commanders have also suffered a lot."
"Who's to say it isn't. But if it weren't for him, maybe I would have died on the ice peak of Amber Hill, and I wouldn't even be able to find my bones, where would there be today's northern country. So Miss Su doesn't have to worry, since the Lord has made a promise, she will definitely protect Miss Su. What's more, since Miss Su wants to abandon her past and start over, why should she hang the mark of the past and make a fuss in vain. As long as Miss Su is willing, then Miss Su is just Miss Su, and there is no need to mention the word Qi. ”
Qi Su's heart moved, and he already understood what Amber Er meant.
Yes, if you want to start over, why hang that meaningless Qi word again.
What else did that Qi Zi bring her besides endless pain and blood on her hands?
As early as the moment when she decided to betray the Qi family, it was equivalent to abandoning this surname, as long as she didn't say anything about it, no one in the northern kingdom would naturally know her former identity.
"I can't ask for it, how can there be anything I don't want to."
"That is the case, then the girl can rest assured, from now on Miss Su is just Miss Su, a guest of the Lord, and at the invitation of the Lord to go to the north to live some free life. When the girl arrives in the north, she must taste the strongest wine in the north, and gallop on the grassland on the strongest horse, and she will never care about the past. ”
"Then I really have to thank the second commander in advance."
"It's a pity that the girl didn't come at the right time, otherwise I would have gone to the northern parts of the country to have a good time, and I would have felt much more comfortable."
Hu Eryi's tone was inevitably much lower when he mentioned the war, and Qi Su was quiet for a while, no one wanted to think about when this battle would be fought and what the outcome would be, but no one could avoid these bloody facts.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak for a while, but they talked and chatted along the way, and before they knew it, they had entered the territory of the northern country. Now that he has entered the northern country, Hu Er no longer has to hide in Tibet and pick a hidden and difficult path to detour, but the closer he gets to the big tent of Yi Ribu, the clearer the sound of fierce fighting in front of him.
"Phew!"
"What's wrong?!"
Hu Er was originally driving the carriage all the way, but when he passed by a mountain, he suddenly stopped, and Qi Su was shocked before he came back to his senses.
"Don't make a sound, there's going to be movement ahead."
Hu Er didn't want to explain more, just whispered a word of instruction and made a silent gesture to Lu Chongguang, who was following closely behind, and then quietly turned over and jumped out of the carriage and prostrate on the ground and looked down the cliff.
"Lord Wang! Can't chase it anymore! This is already the territory of Yiri, and the large army behind has also dispersed, and I am afraid that there will be an ambush if I chase it again! ”
Hu Er poked his head out and was taken aback, he really didn't talk about people behind his back, said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the group of Zhenbei troops under the cliff seemed to be chasing someone to the territory of Yiri, and the leader was not the general Xiao Wei and the commander of Yongning Wang Yiqi.
The mountain stream was deep and narrow, and it couldn't stop Xiao Wei's voice from echoing and circulating between the rock walls, and finally it came up clearly. Hu Er subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, he saw Qi Su looking at him in a daze, and he had already gotten out of the carriage.
Hu Er sighed secretly, and didn't care if he would be discovered by the people below, so he immediately got up and stopped Qi Su.
"Don't come here, stay in the carriage, there are people from the Zhenbei Army below, don't be discovered by them."
"But..."
Qi Su pursed his lips tightly, knowing that what Hu Er said was true, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart saying that he wanted to see him no matter what, even if it was just a glance from a distance, it was enough to know that he was safe and sound.
