Chapter 209: The Price of Affection

Who do you care about, who do you care about, so you have to save your life at all costs, this is human nature, Bai Qige understands how cruel it is to deprive them of the right to save important people, but she is responsible for two or four lives, not a momentary impulsive emotion.

It is also a matter of course, which will cause the joint opposition of Yi Chenjing and the war court.

"What Sister Bai said is right, isn't the other party's threat just to make Brother Zhan and Brother Chen angry and anxious? If they really have hostages in their hands, neither Brother Zhan nor Brother Chen can guarantee that they can calmly analyze and treat them correctly, right? Looking at Qiao Qingxu, who was in a trance, Fu Chu let out an age-inappropriate low sigh, "Bystander Qing, I have the same position as Sister Bai, I hope you can live instead of burying your life emotionally, and teach your relatives to be bitter and your enemies quickly." ”

Yi Chenjing wants to protect Concubine Jing, Zhanting wants to protect Li'er, and Bai Qige and Qiao Qingxu are trying to protect the two of them, and the mood is no different.

Zhan Ting was not good at using his brain, but he couldn't move in front of Qiao Qingxu's horse, while Yi Chenjing rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought, trying his best to sort out the situation in front of him and force himself to calm down and regain his senses. He is very aware of the differences and gaps between himself and Bai Qige, although he is much cooler, he is not as calm as Bai Qige, and he should listen to her at this time; Thinking about what Bai Qige and Fu Chu said, every sentence and word is a heartfelt word, which cannot be ignored.

"Zhan Ting, listen to Qi Song, we will exchange to save people." After being silent for a long time, Yi Chenjing spoke lowly.

"But I'm Li'er's brother......"

"I only ask you, Zhan Ting, do you believe me or not?" Interrupting the rebuttal of the battle court, Yi Chenjing's eyes quickly regained their cold luster and looked at his most loyal childhood friend, "If you believe me, I will go and rescue my mother for me, and Qige and I will definitely send Li'er back to you in good condition; If you don't believe it, you don't recognize me as a friend, you can do it as you like, hurt Li'er and yourself, and from now on, you and I will break off. ”

The battle court froze suddenly.

After knowing each other for so many years, from childhood playmates to the current master-servant relationship, Yi Chenjing has never said such cruel things to him, and now in order to save Li'er...... Anyway, Yi Chenjing is thinking about him after all.

No, it's not just Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige, Qiao Qingxu, Fu Chu, and those brothers in Qiaojiazhai, who is not for his good? It's that he's too stupid, and he will never learn to be as smart and calm as others, and he will only go crazy and destroy everything whenever something happens.

Raising his head and taking a deep breath, the hand holding the reins slowly relaxed, and the fierce killing intent in his eyes finally gradually dissipated.

"The subordinates received the order, so I went to Cihu Mountain to save Concubine Jing, and Li'er asked His Royal Highness and the princess." Bi Gong and Bi Jing saluted, and the battle court turned to Qiao Qingxu, and there was a slight hesitation between his words, "Qingxu, you ...... Want to come with me? ”

Many years ago, the two of them worked side by side to create the most glorious period of Qiaojiazhai, and the tacit understanding was far better than ordinary people, and the battle court did not hesitate to think that Qiao Qingxu would choose to kill the enemy by his side whenever he could, however, Qiao Qingxu's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"The enemy's target is the Seven Princes, and the main force will definitely be placed on the side of Cihu Mountain, I don't worry if you go by yourself, at least bring half of the manpower. I won't be with you, there are you on Cihu Mountain, and Sister Qige should also have someone to take care of you, among these people, except for you, I am the only one with the highest kung fu, so naturally I have to stay on Sister Qige's side to help. ”

Isn't this a forced tear apart? Bai Qige wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Qiao Qingxu's faint smile.

Leaning over and lying in Bai Qige's ear, Qiao Qingxu's voice was like a drizzle: "Let me do something for him." ”

Rather than watching him fight the enemy in danger, she should give up the fear and save Li'er, and let the court know that she can do a lot for him, and not rely on him for everything she did, as she did before. The important thing about loving someone is not how much you can get, but how much you can give.

Qiao Qingxu has made up his mind, and the battle court will not say more, the two of them each led six helpers to save people separately, Ye Huawan and Fu Chu, who should have gone to the inn in the city first, insisted on staying to help, Qiao Qingxu reluctantly agreed to the two of them to be with him, anyway, it is not safe for them to enter the city without protection, it is better to act together and have a response.

Before leaving, Qiao Qingxu returned to his usual appearance, straightforward and unrestrained, almost rough, and galloped a hundred steps away before turning his head to reveal a touch of gentleness that a woman should have, and shouted loudly towards Zhan Ting.

"Zhan Ting, you protect yourself well for the old lady, I am still waiting for you to come back alive and marry me!"

The wind whimpered, did Zhan Ting answer She couldn't hear clearly, and even his expression didn't have time to take a closer look, thinking that he was stunned and shy, right? Who knows, she just wanted to say it, and she couldn't wait for a moment to tell him out loud like this that she had hidden her love for many years.

Only this is the only thing that even God can't stop.

The nursery rhyme makes it clear that Cihu and Hushui refer to Cihu Mountain in the southwest of the imperial capital and Leadhua Lake in the east respectively, and they must be rushed before the sun sets. Bai Qige looked up at the sky, it was almost noon now, and it was at least not too late to reach the destination, and it was not too long before dusk, even if he was silent on his face, he was a little anxious.

Yi Chenjing is extremely filial, and the mother and son have been dependent on each other for many years in the palace where people are excluded everywhere. The reason why he proposed to exchange to save people was that he was afraid that Yi Chenxuan would attack his weaknesses and use Concubine Jing as a threat to force him to cut himself off - according to his character, it was entirely possible to leave everything behind for Concubine Jing. Bai Qige suddenly disgusted herself, and frankly speaking, her purpose was to make Zhan Ting and Yi Chenjing both keep a calm mind to face the enemy, but this undoubtedly increased the danger of Concubine Jing and Li'er, and in the face of the choice, she favored Yi Chenjing's life and imperial industry rather than the other two lives.

disregarding the life and death of Concubine Jing, who treats her very well, and Li'er, who trusts her and likes her so much, is far more than as ugly as her broken face appears.

Yaoguo is not like Zhaoguo, which has many lakes and many waters, and there is only one lead-hua lake within a hundred miles of the imperial capital, so when the lake is mentioned in the nursery rhyme, several people immediately think of this remote lake with only 100 acres, and the facts have also proved that this is indeed where Li'er was captive.

The lake surrounded by withered grass and rotten branches is so quiet that it is so small that it can be seen through at a glance, and the thin figure on the big tree on the other side of the lake is eye-catching, so thin that it seems that a gust of wind can blow it away, and it is pitiful.

"Li'er, Li'er! Can you hear me? Bai Qige stood by the lake and shouted a few times, at first the figure did not react, and after raising the volume and shouting several times in succession, he finally moved slightly, lowered his head and tried to lift it, and a pale and emaciated withered face fell into view.

Sure enough, it was Li'er.

It is not clear whether the suffering girl has been bullied for the time being, but Bai Qige knows that being tied to a tree like that is extremely terrible torture for Li'er, Li'er's leg bones have long been broken, but the skin and flesh are still connected, and the feeling is still there, and the disabled legs that cannot walk all the year round have to support the weight of the whole body, and the severe pain can be imagined.

After quickly looking around, Bai Qige lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped into the grass, and Li'er on the other side probably heard her voice desperately saying something, but the distance was too far to hear it clearly, and the left and right were just asking her not to go over too dangerous or have an ambush or something.

"I'll go over first, and I'll do it at any time if there's a situation." The short sword was unsheathed and clenched in his hand, and Bai Qige took a deep breath.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and bias towards the tiger mountains, she is here to save Li'er, even if there are more ambushes, she must insist on doing it to the end, this is her promise to the war court, and it is also a promise to Yi Chenjing - to overturn everything, for his world.

Bai Qige had the experience of camping and marching in the swamps and wilderness in her previous life, and the muddy land by the Leadhua Lake could not affect her speed towards Li'er in the slightest, compared to Qiao Qingxu and Yi Chenjing's party, they were much slower, and if they were not careful, they would step into the dirty muddy puddle.

"Qige, slow down." Yi Chenjing couldn't help but admonish, but Bai Qige took his words as a deaf ear, and still quickly widened the distance between the two.

In fact, Bai Qige is not reckless and not afraid of ambushes, she has her own thoughts.

This place is close to the foot of the mountain, the terrain of the small plain on three sides is open, the mountain wind blows to the lake and gathers and disperses on three sides, the wind is far stronger than other places, if the enemy wants to use a bow and arrow or other long-range attack is difficult to aim, the strong wind will not only blow the direction of the arrow will greatly weaken the speed and strength of the arrow after it is fired, the farther away it is, the more difficult it is to threaten them; If it is even more impossible to attack by fire, there is an inexhaustible source of fire extinguishing water right next to the lake, so there is no need to worry. The long-range attack is not good, the enemy is not advantageous to launch a close attack, the grass nearby is low and there are many people hidden, there are Qiao Qingxu and six Jianghu knights with high martial arts behind him, and the close attack is equivalent to sending him to death.

The time and place are on their side, Yi Chenxuan's decision is really hasty, it can be seen that he has begun to panic, and the design of the trap is not as meticulous and cautious as before, of course, it may also be that his defense of the war court is not high, and he is just using Li'er to contain the war court to weaken their help, or...... Is it that she has also become as cunning and treacherous as Yi Chenxuan, and is calculating, so she only laughs at fifty steps and takes a hundred steps?

Until she walked to Li'er's side, nothing abnormal happened, Bai Qige cut the rope and hugged the limp and thin girl, her eyes full of heartache.

"Sister Princess...... It's the princess's sister...... "The sharp pain all over her body did not wear out the girl's tranquil smile, and her bloodless lips pursed a faint arc, far-fetched but sincere.

Bai Qige nodded, and after a long time, she remembered that her movements could not be seen in those dim eyes, so she had to hold her cold little hand and hug Li'er tightly: "It's me." Li'er, Your Highness and I are here, and no bad guy can bully you. Sister, will I take you to see my brother, okay? ”

"Brother...... The sweet smile in the midst of hardship suddenly dissipated, Li'er clutched Bai Qige's sleeve tightly, and fear welled up in her eyes that had long been exhausted, "Don't go, can't go to see my brother...... If you see it, you'll kill your brother! ”

Yi Chenjing turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it any longer.

At the beginning, Emperor Yao did not hesitate to hurt the innocent Li'er in order to restrain the stinger of the war court, and Li'er, who was still very young at that time, was already very sensible, and was willing to endure great pain and imprisoned in a dark room in order to protect the life of the war court.

She's only a teenager, and she's still a child!

If it is said that the rivers and mountains of Yaoguo were laid by Emperor Yaohuang to eliminate internal and external troubles, then this country is full of sins and disgusting.

A strange sound came, and the squirting movement first aroused Li'er's alertness, and the girl's face became even paler than before, and her colorless thin lips trembled, and her tone was almost silent.

"Let's go, Sister Princess, let's go! Here they are again! ”
