Chapter 164: The Wind and Rain
Chu Xi could see Lin Qingyu's carriage moving away, she wanted to call him, wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move, she could only watch him get farther and farther away from her.
"Sad?" Zhao Xunyan looked at her painful eyes, and the sourness in his heart surged up again, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Chu Xi was blocked by him and couldn't move, so he didn't look at him, but slowly closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear anything.
Zhao Xunyan saw her like this, his teeth tightened slightly, and the people who were driving the carriage outside and Yuan Ye also lifted the curtain: "The front is to the town." ”
"Okay." Zhao Xunyan looked at the emaciated Chu Xi and said, "Find an inn to rest first, and then make plans." ”
"Yes." Doctor Yuan Ye looked at Chu Xi, didn't say much, put down the curtain and went out.
I don't know how long it took for Chu Xi to feel that the carriage had finally stopped, and Zhao Xunyan put on a black veil for her, and then hugged her horizontally.
Hearing the sound of communication with the shopkeeper outside, Chu Xi could only vaguely see through the tulle that the town was full of people, bustling and bustling, but this place should be far away from the capital, I don't know if Yan Yi can find the mark she left, but the mark is far away from here, and she still has to think of leaving some marks outside this inn.
Zhao Xunyan looked down at Chu Xi, and said, "Go and prepare more things to replenish your body." After explaining again, he took Chu Xi to the room on the second floor.
He put Chu Xi on the bed, took off the veil for her, and covered her with a thin quilt: "It's already October, it's cold outside, I'll buy you some thick clothes when I go back." He sat on the sidelines, babbling a little.
Chu Xi's acupoint hadn't been solved yet, so she simply closed her eyes and didn't listen to him.
Zhao Xunyan talked for a long time, and saw that she didn't react, so he stepped forward to unlock her acupoint: "Don't think about escaping, otherwise, Lin Qingyu won't be able to live." He means he can't live.
Chu Xi opened his eyes and looked at him fixedly: "I said that I wouldn't leave, so I would never leave." ”
"Okay." Zhao Xunyan sighed softly, and sealed her acupuncture points again: "I really don't like the way you talk to me full of hatred." ”
Chu Xi frowned slightly, but Zhao Xunyan didn't seem to see it, he was next to her bed, and carefully hugged her through the quilt, Chu Xi could feel it, he was trembling all over.
Zhao Xunyan's face turned pale, and the burning sensation from his internal organs became stronger and stronger, and he hugged Chu Xi tightly, as if this could relieve him a little.
"I'm not going to do anything to you, run around all day, sleep."
His faint voice whispered in her ear, but Chu Ji couldn't sleep no matter what, Zhao Xunyan saw that she was always staring at her with big eyes, so he had to click her sleeping hole again, and saw that she was asleep, so he was slightly relieved, until there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in,......" Zhao Xunyan said lightly, but he got up and lowered the curtain.
Coming in was his old ministry and one of the few who were loyal to him.
He walked in and respectfully bowed his hand to him: "Master, where are we going next?" ”
Zhao Xunyan thought for a while and said, "Let's go in the direction of Mongolia." ”
"Mongolia?"
"Hmm. Mongolia has a beautiful scenery, the green steppes are endless, and I also want to see the scene of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep. Zhao Xunyan's tone was slightly brisk, as if he was going to travel, taking his beloved woman with him.
After he finished speaking, he looked at his old department again: "And in Mongolia, I bought a Zhuangzi there with Huaiyang a few years ago, you go with me, even if you don't come back in the future, you can have a settlement." ”
The old department was stunned, Zhao Xunyan has always been ruthless, they are afraid that Zhao Xunyan is not even an ant, but now he is thinking about their life and death.
As if sensing his consternation, Zhao Xunyan raised the corners of his lips evilly: "I let you go over with conditions." ”
"Master, please command."
Zhao Xunyan looked back at Chu Xi at this time, even if he died, he would let Chu Xi remember him for the rest of his life!
At this time, the capital was lively and lively, blowing and blowing, and the Mongolian princess's wedding team suddenly arrived in front of the magnificent Prince Yu's mansion, and Prince Yu Zhao Ke, dressed in a big red robe, kicked the sedan door, welcomed the bride, worshiped heaven and earth, and was about to go to the cave room.
But before the cave room entered, there was an urgent edict in the palace to let him enter the palace, and Zhao Ke didn't even have time to change the wedding robe and went, and no one noticed that in the dowry team that married with the princess of mercy, there was a small sedan chair carried to a secluded courtyard in the backyard of Prince Yu's mansion.
Lin Qingyu's legs were not yet well, so he barely got out of the sedan chair, and he was only willing to sit in a wheelchair and walk slowly by himself.
It's October, and the hibiscus flowers in the yard are still blooming, and the clumps of pink or white hibiscus flowers are like the clothes of the concubine, gentle and soft.
"Still haven't found it?" Lin Qingyu looked at the hibiscus flowers that fell to the ground, leaned over to pick them up, and held them in the palm of his hand, as if he remembered the feeling of pain in the center before entering the city today.
"Not yet." It was Yan Er who talked back and forth, and Yan Yi was still at the bottom of the valley: "But we have found a lot of caves, I am afraid that they have been prepared a long time ago, and we have also found the marks left by Madame." ”
"Hmm." Lin Qingyu bowed slightly: "You must be careful, don't push him, don't let him hurt him." "Ji'er has never suffered like this, I don't know if she will cry secretly in the middle of the night, whether she will complain about herself, she clearly promised not to leave her, but she still let her fall into the hands of Zhao Xunyan and will not be able to return all day long.
Yan Er looked at his worried appearance, looked at his emaciated face, and still said more: "If Mrs. comes back and sees you so haggard, I'm afraid I will die of distress." ”
Lin Qingyu's hand stroking the petals slightly: "I understand." ”
Yan Er was surprised to see his reaction like this, but he also made up his mind, raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, even if we die, we will definitely bring Mrs. back!" With that, he stepped back.
Lin Qingyu looked at the words of the courtyard, his heart was like a knife, and he closed his eyes in pain, but what was in front of him was full of despair and pain when Chu Xi fell off the cliff.
Lin Fu didn't know when he was standing behind him, the person lost a circle of weight, and also darkened a circle, but his eyes were even more indifferent and resolute: "Fanbang has entered the territory of southern Xinjiang, and two cities have been lost in southern Xinjiang, and a distress signal has been sent to us. ”
When Lin Qingyu heard this, he cheered up: "How is the old general?" ”
"The old general's 10,000 army met the elite soldiers and horses that Fanbang secretly hid into the Central Plains halfway, and confronted each other in the valley, and there has been no other news so far." Lin Fu said: "But you have already asked Zheng Yun to help, I believe the old general will be fine." ”
"Hmm." Lin Qingyu bowed: "This time, Southern Xinjiang took the initiative to ask us for help, Zhao Xuanyi will not send troops so quickly, do you need to see Lu Tan?" ”
Lin Fu's face became even darker, and his palms tightened slightly: "The king of Southern Xinjiang has an arrangement, she won't listen to me." ”
Seeing this, Lin Qingyu no longer asked too much: "Your parents have sent a letter, you should go back earlier." ”
Lin Fu looked at him in slight surprise: "No matter what, I have to help you find ...... first"
"Listen to me, if you don't go looking for green sandalwood, go back to Tuo Island, otherwise you will regret it in the future." Either go to save your lover, or leave and forget about this place completely, but no matter which one you have, it's not comfortable, but even if it's uncomfortable, fate is fate, and you have reached this fork in the road, you must make a choice.
Lin Fu's face was slightly gloomy: "She told me not to go to her again for the rest of my life." ”
Lin Qingyu didn't say much, only raised his eyes lightly to look at the hibiscus in the yard, letting the cold wind of October blow through, blowing up the withered flowers everywhere.
Lin Fu looked at him like this, when he didn't speak, he seemed to be isolated from the world, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking, but the loneliness and pain that shrouded him made people feel distressed.
Chu Xi woke up again, it was already the next morning, the room was filled with the faint fragrance of flower petals, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid-like person came over, saw that she was awake, and smiled happily: "You finally woke up." ”
"Who are you?" Chu Ji said vigilantly.
The maid hurriedly said: "The slave maid Bai Zhi was bought by the master, and he came to serve you." She looked at Chu Xi's pale face and said with a smile: "The master said, you are pregnant with a child, and you are very weak, so the slave and maid must be good to serve." ”
Chu Xi frowned slightly, but she got up by herself, and Bai Zhi also turned her head to prepare hot water for Chu Xi.
Chu Xi came out in her underwear, and saw that the bathtub on the side was already sprinkled with flower petals, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and her mood was better.
"I'll take a bath first, you help me guard the door, and no one is allowed to come in." Chu Xi said lightly.
Bai Zhi's facial features were mediocre, but her smile was spirited, and she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, the slave will go and show you." With that, he turned neatly and tied them up.
Seeing this, Chu Ji scattered her hair, took off her clothes, and soaked in the bath. The warm water enveloped her, and she felt relaxed.
I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door outside, Chu Ji paused slightly, and then heard Zhao Xunyan's voice outside: "Is it up?" ”
"It's up, but sir, Madame is bathing." Bai Zhi said busily.
Chu Xi hurriedly got up and took the clothes on the side and wrapped them around her body, ran out barefoot, slammed the door that Bai Zhi wanted to open, and stared at her fiercely: "Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to open the door!" ”
"This ...... Madam, it's the lord outside, and the lord doesn't go into the bathroom......"
Bai Zhi still wanted to explain, but Chu Zhi didn't want to listen anymore, so she just turned her head to look out of the door: "You can't come in now." ”
Zhao Xunyan Xu heard the sound of Chu Xi running out barefoot, and frowned slightly; "I see, you go and put on your clothes first."
Chu Xi tied the door again, and then glanced at Bai Zhi coldly: "Don't touch this door again." ”
"Yes." Bai Zhi hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to say more.
Chu Xi turned his head to change his clothes, his hair was wiped casually and scattered behind him, Zhao Xunyan heard the movement inside and stopped, so he knocked on the door again: "I got you food, and the news of Lin Qingyu ......"
Chu Xi's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to open the door for him.
Zhao Xunyan was followed by Dr. Yuan Ye, and Dr. Yuan Ye was now willing to run behind Zhao Xunyan, diligently, and came over with the food box conscientiously at this time.
Zhao Xunyan looked at Chu Xi's still wet hair and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with Qingyu?" Chu Xi asked directly.
"Sit down and eat first, and I'll tell you slowly." He said that, went into the room, looked left and right, and found a dry towel.
Chu Xi didn't care what he was going to do, sitting at the table, watching Dr. Yuan Ye take out the food in the same way, he really felt a little hungry.
"You haven't made up for a long time, you have to take your time, these are all made by me staring at the kitchen, you eat some first, and after the adaptation period of these few days, I will give you a stewed medicinal meal." Doctor Yuan Ye said as he put down the handkerchief and motioned for Chu Xi to put his hand up, he wanted to take the pulse.
Chu Xi didn't refuse, but after he finished taking the pulse, he exclaimed again and again: "What a miracle!" It's really rare to have a child like you. ”
Chu Xi blinked, didn't say anything, this kid came suddenly, as if he wouldn't leave as soon as he came.
Zhao Xunyan handed the towel to Bai Zhi and asked her to wipe Chu Xi's hair, Bai Zhi responded with a smile and hurriedly walked behind Chu Zhi, but she had never served the young lady of a big family, and she was frizzy when she wiped her hair, and Chu Zhi frowned several times, but she didn't say anything.
She focused on eating, for a long time, but she felt that the movement of wiping her hair behind her back became gentle, until she saw Bai Zhi standing beside her, and then she realized that the person behind her was Zhao Xunyan.
"What do you do?" Chu Xi's tone was not good, but Zhao Xunyan seemed to be used to her attitude, and said lightly: "Lin Qingyu should live in Prince Yu's mansion now, but Southern Xinjiang fought with Fanbang, lost a few cities in a row, and I heard that he began to ask Zhao Xuanyi to send troops, and now that the Mongolian princess is married to Zhao Ke, I believe that soon, the Mongolian princess will be detained in the capital, and Zhao Ke will take Lin Qingyu to the expedition." ”
After Zhao Xunyan finished speaking, seeing that Chu Xi really settled down, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, so he just lowered his head and wiped her hair carefully.
Bai Zhi didn't know what Zhao Xunyan did before, but seeing him so meticulous, she laughed: "The master even wipes people's hair." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Xunyan responded lightly, and there was no shelf: "Mother concubine...... After my mother died, I took care of it myself. ”
Chu Xi didn't say anything when he heard this, in his previous life and in this life, Zhao Xunyan always wrapped himself tightly, and no one knew what he was really thinking, but this still couldn't hide his indifference and ruthlessness.
After drying his hair, Zhao Xunyan sat on the side, and saw that Chu Ji had eaten two-thirds of the meal, so he smiled with satisfaction: "I will take you to Mongolia in a few days, the scenery is very good......
Chu Ji didn't listen to what Zhao Xunyan was saying, she only thought about what he had just said. Southern Xinjiang is fighting with Fanbang, and now there is continuous civil strife, once Zhao Ke leaves, if he gets military merits, I don't know what Zhao Xuanyi will do. If he can let Zhao Ke go, maybe Zhao Ke won't do it, but if he still doesn't repent, I'm afraid that they will come back with the 100,000 army led by his father.
That's the worst-case scenario, and she still hopes it doesn't happen.
Zhao Xunyan saw that Chu Xi had lost her mind, and her tone slowly weakened, looking at her leaning against the window and looking out, her heart became extremely calm.
In the next few days, Chu Xi was still confined in this small room, unable to go out, every day was a cycle of days, they would come over to accompany him three times in the morning, noon and evening, Zhao Xunyan also seemed to have changed his temperament, and took some children's clothes to Chu Xi every day, boys and girls, a lot of clothes, red and green, with a variety of colors.
Just as Zhao Xunyan was talking to Chu Xi, someone hurriedly came up: "Someone has tracked it down." ”
Zhao Xunyan's face, which was still full of smiles, narrowed slightly, looked at Chu Xi, and said with a smile indifferently: "Since you have to leave, then I'll take you away now." After that, without waiting for Chu Xi to open her mouth, she directly clicked on her acupoint, hugged her and hurried out, Bai Zhi also hurriedly cleaned up and followed out.
When Yan Yi brought someone to find him, he took another step slowly, looked at the tea on the table that was still warm, and smashed his fist on the table angrily: "Quick, take someone to chase it, and see that all the carriages are stopped and checked!" ”
"But there are several roads in this town, all of which lead to different directions, and we are afraid that there are not enough people." Bystanders.
"In groups of twos and twos, at least determine the direction in which Madame leaves!" Yan Yi immediately made a decision, and chased after him.
Chu Xi could only feel the bumps of the carriage, but she never woke up along the way.
Doctor Yuan Ye was a little worried, but Zhao Xunyan just held Chu Ji in his arms and didn't say a word. She clearly agreed to herself, but she was still thinking about escaping, she was so unwilling to stay by her side, even if he did everything he thought Lin Qingyu would do.
By the time Chu Xi was completely sober again, it was already ten days later, and their carriage had arrived at the border of Mongolia in the Central Plains, which was a prosperous border town, and merchants who could be seen on both sides at any time, Zhao Xunyan found her a set of Mongolian clothes, a red cross-collared long skirt with fine fluff, and a Mongolian girl's favorite headdress on her head, if it weren't for the pale face and the little weakness, she would have looked really a lovely Mongolian girl.
They settled in an inn and prepared to enter Mongolia when it was dark.
There are no private rooms in this inn, everyone sits in the lobby to eat, and Chu Ji and Zhao Xunyan also sit in the corner.
The shopkeeper was an enthusiastic old man, who brought a few dishes and a pot of wine, looked at Zhao Xunyan, and then at Chu Xi, and said with a smile: "You come to live in the right place with me." ”
"How?" Chu Xi responded, anyway, she couldn't escape for the time being, and she also learned that Lin Qingyu was safe, so she just waited for Zhao Xunyan to die.
"Hehe, don't you know, now our territory is full of vassal kings making trouble, and there are a lot of mobs, I heard that there is an army formed by Hao, and there is a large area of cholera, and there is nothing in the Central Plains that is peaceful, except for us here. We rely on Mongolia here, and now the princess of Mongolia is married to our Prince Yu, even if the two countries are peaceful, if anyone dares to stir up trouble here, they must not be killed by the Mongolian king. The shopkeeper poured himself a drink.
Chu Xi chuckled, didn't mind that he poured his own wine, and said, "What is the situation in that state and southern Xinjiang now, I'm afraid the shopkeeper doesn't know." ”
"You're guessing wrong, I'll know it when I was born." The shopkeeper was slightly drunk and said loudly: "Now that Southern Xinjiang is losing and retreating, it has lost more than a dozen cities, and I see that half of the country is about to be gone, but fortunately, our Prince Yu arrived in time." ”
"What's next?"
"I haven't started fighting yet, but when I heard that Prince Yu had just arrived, I was so scared that the people in Fanbang stopped moving." The shopkeeper smiled, and the people around him also gathered around and began to talk nonsense.
Chu Xi chatted with them very well, and she was relieved to find out the situation in a roundabout way.
The current situation is quite favorable to Zhao Ke and them, and with the help of General Yang and Qing Yu, and there is an already resourceful Hou Ye, so this battle should not be difficult to fight, I am afraid that Zhao Xuanyi will secretly make a stumbling block in the later stage.
Zhao Xunyan looked at Chu Xi's radiant appearance, picked up the wine glass, smelled this not good wine, and felt that it was extraordinarily fragrant.
It has been a month and a half since Chu Xi was found to be pregnant, plus she has been pregnant for more than a month, and now it is almost three months, Yuan Ye has prepared a lot of medicinal materials wherever she goes, but no matter how Chu Xi tosses, this child is obedient, and there is no trace of abnormality.
Chu Ji thought that he would enter Mongolia directly that night, but after waiting in the room for a long time, he still didn't see Zhao Xunyan coming, he felt strange, and glanced at Bai Zhi: "You go and ask, can you leave tonight." ”
Bai Zhi answered, hurriedly turned her head, and came back after a while, but she looked helpless.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xi looked at her in a panic and asked.
Bai Zhi's face was pale, and her eyes were red: "Master, he ...... I'm going to die......"
When Chu Xi heard this, she frowned slightly, and walked towards Zhao Xunyan's room, but when she arrived, the door was closed.
"You're dead?" Chu Xi asked outside.
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the puddle of black blood on the ground was terrifying to look at.
Zhao Xunyan heard Chu Xi's voice, sobered up a little, barely stood up, and said in a low voice: "Not yet." ”
After that, he looked at Yuan Ye on the side: "How long can it last?" ”
Yuan Ye gritted his teeth slightly: "At most...... Half a month. ”
"Half a month...... Zhao Xunyan lowered his eyes, looked at the water in front of him, and rinsed his mouth: "Half a month, it's enough." "It's just a pity that I can't see Chu Xi give birth to a child.
"Go and get ready, go to Mongolia tonight." Zhao Xunyan said.
When Yuan Ye heard this, he frowned slightly: "You can't be bumpy, you have to rest." ”
"It's okay." Zhao Xunyan said and looked at him: "Go and prepare." ”
Yuan Ye sighed lightly, didn't say much, only nodded in response.
He opened the door, thinking that Chu Xi would leave, but he didn't think that she was still standing at the door, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to close the door again, but Chu Xi still smelled the smell of blood inside.
"How long will he live?" Chu Xi asked directly.
Yuan Ye looked at her and sighed: "This lady, it's not that I talk a lot. It's just that what kind of enmity do you have, so that he is dying, and you are still unwilling to forgive him? ”
Chu Xi glanced at Yuan Ye lightly, turned his head and left.
Yuan Ye looked at her back, and finally said: "It won't be more than half a month, maybe five days, maybe ten days......"
Chu Xi's footsteps paused slightly, her heart was complicated, but in the end, she still stepped away.
In the middle of the night, they still got out of the town smoothly and arrived in Mongolia overnight, Zhao Xunyan did not choose to live in a house in the town, but went to the wide steppe and found a few tents to live in.
Towards the end of October, the weather was getting colder and colder, and even though the brazier was burning in the tent, it still didn't feel warm, so Chu Xi simply didn't sleep at night and sat in the tent.
Bai Zhi fell asleep wrapped in a quilt, and Chu Ji looked at the fire in the basin fixedly, not knowing what to think.
Suddenly, the door curtain was opened, and then I saw Zhao Xunyan's slightly flushed face: "Sister, come out." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Come out for a while." Zhao Xunyan said.
Chu Xi frowned slightly, but still got up and walked out, now the sky is not yet bright, it is still dark, only the beating fire is the only light, reflecting Zhao Xunyan's face full of happy smiles.
Chu Xi didn't know what he was doing with such a smile, so he only asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Xunyan untied the cloak on his body and gave it to him, wrapped her, and let go with a smile: "Ride a horse." ”
"I'm pregnant and not fit to ride." Chu Xi refused, but Zhao Xunyan stepped forward to pick her up, but it was not as light as usual, and when he put Chu Xi on the horse, he was already sweating.
He immediately turned over and got on the horse, sat behind Chu Xi, and said with a smile: "Let's go slowly." With that, he gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse began to move forward meekly.
Chu Xi straightened up, half unwilling to get close to him, but he held the reins with one hand and held her with the other, and said softly as if pleading: "Just this time, follow me to see the sunrise." ”
Chu Xi didn't speak, and Zhao Xunyan knew that she was unwilling, so he had to raise his hand and point at her acupoint.
When the first rays of sunlight appear in the morning, it seems to overflow from the border of the prairie, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the endless green fields are all over, and when the first rays of sunlight come out, the mist is cut away, and people's mood becomes broader.
The scenery here is not as beautiful as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it like the majestic and steep mountains, it is a very pure openness, rough, and people's hearts seem to fly up with the wind with the fragrance of grass.
Chu Xi was looking at Chu Yang, but Zhao Xunyan was looking at her, looking at her side face, looking at the smile on her lips, looking at her long eyelashes with the morning mist, and there was tenderness in her eyes.
"Have you ever thought about the child's name?" Zhao Xunyan suddenly spoke.
Chu Xi didn't answer, but Zhao Xunyan said to himself: "How about calling it worry-free, worry-free, worry-free for life." ”
Chu Xi didn't speak, but silently watched the morning light with him.
Zhao Xunyan couldn't take her back on a horse, because when the sun was fully rising, he fell directly from his horse and fainted.
The war between Fanbang and Southern Xinjiang became more and more tense, and Lu Tan, who also put on the most bewitching red makeup early this morning, entered the bedroom of the king of Fanbang with a slightly cold face.
The king of Fanbang is a good woman, known all over the world, Lu Tansheng has a good appearance, and now he is dressed in off-the-shoulder red, bewitching and beautiful, with flattery in his eyes, like the most bewitching queen in the world.
She approached step by step, looked at King Fanbang, who was having fun with someone on the bed, and gently raised the corners of her lips.
The king of Fanbang also heard the sound outside, and when he saw the green sandalwood through the veil, the original disdain turned into surprise now.
"The queen of this king is so beautiful."
Green Sandalwood slowly approached, and his red lips opened slightly, already with a little coldness and flattery: "King, why don't you let the concubines serve you?" ”
King Fanbang stood up and walked over to her, and laughed sarcastically: "Do you think I don't know your intentions?" ”
"Southern Xinjiang, as long as the king is willing to leave half of the country for Tan'er."
"Half the country?" King Fanbang laughed sarcastically, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Tan's waist, looked at the horror in her eyes, and sneered: "Do you think you are worth half of the country?" ”
Green sandalwood hides all the emotions under her eyes, and when she laughs, she is charming, although she is not as charming as those women, but her unique purity and today's charm are even more unforgettable.
She raised her hand on his shoulder and smiled charmingly: "Wang and Tan'er, don't you know if you try?" ”
"Good, good!" He looked at the eyes that seemed to have hooks, laughed, picked her up and walked to the big bed behind him.
When he covered himself, Lu Tan opened his eyes and smiled, and only when tears fell, did he close his eyes, and used up everything that Mama had taught her before he came out, and began to please the man on his body that she wanted to kill.
Zhao Xunyan woke up again, it was already three days later, he looked around, he didn't see Chu Xi, he smiled bitterly, but he heard the voice of Chu Xi talking outside, he hurriedly got up and lifted the curtain, and saw Chu Xi who was talking to Bai Zhi.
Chu Xi looked at him with a pale face, but Zhao Xunyan was ecstatic: "You didn't leave?" ”
"I'm still waiting to dig out your Heart-Connecting Gu." Chu Xi said indifferently, then turned his head and left.
Zhao Xunyan looked at her back, when he was outside, he was ready to let Chu Xi dig out his heart, but he didn't expect that she still brought herself back, she finally didn't hate herself so much......
"Master." Zhao Xunyan's old department was a little indifferent: "Why don't we kill her directly and let them all be buried with you?" ”
"Shut up!" Zhao Xunyan said coldly: "No matter what I do, I won't allow you to touch a single hair of her!" ”
The man didn't understand it at all, but seeing Zhao Xunyan maintain it like this, he had to lower his eyebrows, but the killing intent in his eyes still did not decrease.
At this time, Lin Qingyu, along with Zhao Ke, had already fought with Fanbang several times, and Fanbang was defeated and retreated, but they also had to strictly prevent a bite from southern Xinjiang.
"Report ......"
Someone outside entered the camp, and Zhao Ke, who was discussing the attack with Lin Qingyu, raised his head: "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to the prince, the king of Fanbang stopped attacking southern Xinjiang, and the whole army rushed towards our army." That's humane.
Lin Qingyu looked at the sand table where Fang was still analyzing the situation, and turned his head to look outside: "Lin Fu? ”
Zhao Ke raised his head in surprise, didn't Lin Fu go to find the woman he liked.
But Lin Fu still walked in, seemed a little tired, and bowed his hand to Zhao Ke and Lin Qingyu: "The king of Fanbang is preparing to reach an agreement with southern Xinjiang, southern Xinjiang will cede fifteen cities, and the two sides will cease fighting, but it is very likely that they will come back to attack our army." After all, now that the vassal kings are in turmoil, the mob is everywhere, the Central Plains is in constant civil strife, and the people are not at ease, it is the best time for them to attack. ”
"Is this a certainty?" Zhao Ke said busily.
Lin Fu shook his head: "I haven't seen the two of them make a war letter yet, but ......"
"But what?"
"...... in Southern Xinjiang The princess, and the king of Fanbang are already like glue, and southern Xinjiang is also willing to cede the city, I'm afraid it's true. Lin Fu's eyes were red.
Zhao Ke looked at Lin Qingyu, but Lin Qingyu just glanced at the sand table lightly: "Southern Xinjiang wants to use the Central Plains to fight with Fanbang and reap the benefits of fishermen." ”
"If that's the case, then our situation is the most critical." Zhao Ke said.
Lin Qingyu bowed his head and looked out a little worriedly: "What I'm most afraid of is not Fanbang and Southern Xinjiang, but the emperor." Prince Yu, go and ask why the grain and grass have not been delivered for a long time. ”
Zhao Ke's face was slightly dark, and he raised his hand and let people go: "We have to prepare for the worst, if the grain and grass are cut off, Fanbang and Southern Xinjiang will fight back, even if we have 100,000 troops, I am afraid that we will not be able to last for a few days." Zhao Ke didn't care why Zhao Xuanyi was so confused, he tried to swallow this country in one bite, but he didn't know that he was in a hurry, and it was easy to spit out his own things.
"So what's next?" The adjutant general on the side asked anxiously.
Zhao Ke looked at Lin Qingyu, and Lin Qingyu said, "The prince will find a way to go back to the capital first." ”
Zhao Ke frowned slightly: "Has it been this time?" ”
Lin Qingyu said: "It's almost there." ”
He said it quickly, not that Zhao Xuanyi couldn't wait to do it, but that the vassal kings of all walks of life had already been killed.
The people are displaced, even if they catch strong men everywhere, it is not enough to fight, and the vassal kings of all walks of life are recuperating for many years, separating one side, and there are a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals under their hands, when the first emperor is still there, they don't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and they never dare to interact with the people in the court, and now Zhao Xuanyi has ascended the throne, the foundation is not stable, and there are mobs and cholera, and he himself is even more wantonly to exclude dissidents, so that those vassal kings who have a little mind will no longer be willing to stay in the borderland.
When Zhao Xuanyi received the news that the vassal king had come all the way to the capital, he happened to catch up with Mongolia and the news of Zhao Xunyan and Chu Xi.
"Your Majesty, what should you do?" Someone next to him asked, "The news from over there also said that Mrs. Lin seems to be pregnant." ”
"Grab it!" Zhao Xuanyi didn't seem to have slept for a few days and nights, his eyes were slightly swollen, and his face was dark: "And when I released the news, I said that Chu Xi was already in my hands." ”
"Yes!" The people below were busy responding.
Zhao Xuanyi had a calm face, since Chu Ji was not dead, he didn't know if Lin Qingyu was dead, he naturally knew that Zhao Ke had sent someone down to the valley to search in private, but if he didn't die, once he released the news, Lin Qingyu would appear, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to help drive out these bold vassal kings when the time came.
"What about those vassal kings?" Someone else asked.
Zhao Xuanyi already has a splitting headache, and he has always been unable to sleep well in the past few days, and every time he closes his eyes, he can hear Yao'er's pleading and crying.
He turned around and sat down tiredly, the sky outside was a little gloomy, and there was a faint sound of thunder coming from the sullen one, which made people feel even more depressed: "Send troops to encircle and suppress." ”
The people below were a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, now there are no generals in the imperial court, and the generals who have been promoted have already been killed by those vassal kings." ”
"Could it be that such a big dynasty doesn't even have two generals who can be used!" Zhao Xuanyi drank heavily, and after drinking, he was in deep despair, when his father was there, although he suppressed the Yang family, the Marquis of Anping Mansion and the princes, he would never have even a usable person like now.
The people below didn't dare to squeak, Zhao Xuanyi thought about it, and only said with a calm face: "How is Prince Yu's side?" ”
"There's been no movement yet." The man below whispered.
Zhao Xuanyi's face was cold: "Allocate some more grain and grass to the past, let him carry it first." Tell me to go down and deal with these vassal kings who dare to rebel! ”
"The Emperor's ——!" When Gonggong Gao heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "If you leave, what will you do in this palace!" ”
Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth, he had no children under his knees, and his only son was still the one in Jiang Fan's belly, but unfortunately he couldn't give birth.
He took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "The palace is temporarily managed by the four princes, and after I return from the expedition, I will be rewarded." ”
Gonggong Gao wanted to say more, but Zhao Xuanyi had already made a decision: "Go down, get ready, and set off early tomorrow morning." After he finished speaking, he looked at the empty hall, the sky outside was getting darker and darker, and the rain was pouring down, and the wind pouring in from outside shook the candles in the hall, making all the shadows sway, just like the stormy country he was now.
He walked down the hall with steps, listened to the thunder outside, watched the pouring rain outside, and ignored the cold wind blowing in, and went straight out.
Grandpa Gao looked at the back of him leaving, and his heart was desolate.
The first time Chu Xi was ambushed was on the afternoon of the third day, Zhao Xunyan's body was about to recover a little, I thought that I could last another three or five days and say goodbye to Chu Xi, but I didn't expect that Zhao Xuanyi would not let him go at such a time.
Zhao Xunyan took Chu Xi on the horse, and hurried forward, leaving his old department behind to block the people who were chasing and killing.
"Don't be afraid...... Zhao Xunyan held back his cough and held Chu Xi in one hand, so that she didn't have to suffer so many bumps and went all the way.
They kept running forward frantically, but there seemed to be a lot of people chasing and killing behind, and there were not many people from Zhao Xunyan's old department, and after a while, they had already surrounded them.
Zhao Xunyan looked at the person in front of him, slowly pulled out the soft sword on his waist, and stuffed a bracelet into Chu Xi's hand, and whispered, "Put it on." ”
When Chu Xi saw it, it was actually the purple jade bracelet, and he was surprised that he had always carried it with him, so he put it on his hand without saying a word, and aimed at the person in front of him.
"Not for now." Zhao Xunyan pressed her hand, raised his eyes and looked at the seven or eight people who came up, there was a wilderness all around, and it was impossible for anyone to come to save them, so he just said, "Who sent you?" ”
"Who else would want to kill you so much?" The leader sneered, and directly drew his sword and stabbed it, and Chu Xi also saw the token on his waist, which was actually the palace inside.
"You are Zhao Xuanyi's people!" Chu Xi said coldly, the man was stunned for a moment, Chu Xi raised his hand, and a silver needle directly entered his eyes, he immediately wailed, and the people around him also killed.
Zhao Xunyan raised all his internal strength and began to fight with them, Chu Xi also pulled the button on the purple jade bracelet, but Zhao Xunyan was already approaching, and he barely killed three or four people, and then fell to the ground with no physical strength.
When Zhao Xunyan watched those sharp swords stabbing at him, Chu Xi pounced directly on him.
Chu Xi knew that those people would not kill her now, so she had to protect Zhao Xunyan, because as soon as he died, Qingyu would also die!
Those people stopped their hands, Zhao Xuanyi really hadn't said that he was going to kill Chu Xi.
"Boss?" Someone asked.
Without waiting for the man to reply, Zhao Xunyan showed a smile in his eyes, pulled out the hairpin on Chu Xi's head, and stabbed it into his heart.
Everyone was stunned, including Chu Xi.
"Zhao Xunyan ......"
Zhao Xunyan looked at the consternation in her eyes and laughed: "The first time, you called my name, there was no murderous ......" He endured the severe pain and choked out his heart, his face was pale in pain, and everyone was stunned and didn't dare to do it again.
Chu Xi seemed to understand what he was going to do, and an inexplicable pain appeared in his heart: "Zhao Xunyan ......"
"I love you......" Zhao Xunyan said, then took out something from his blood-covered chest, and let her swallow it directly before Chu Xi could react.
He glanced at Chu Xi with affection, reluctantly looked away, and looked at the person behind her: "Didn't Zhao Xuanyi tell you that as soon as I die, Lin Qingyu will also die?" He knew that in such a situation, Zhao Xuanyi would not kill Lin Qingyu again, he would only kill Zhao Ke with his backhand.
Everyone was stunned, but Zhao Xunyan took the opportunity to throw Chu Xi on the back of a horse not far away, and the dagger was also stabbed on the horse's leg, and the horse was frightened, so he began to run forward frantically.
Everyone reacted instantly, and they were about to chase after them with their swords, but Zhao Xunyan used his own blood to carry a long sword and kill them.
Chu Xi turned around, only to see his body pierced by several swords in the sunset, she seemed to be able to see his desperate eyes, and finally his unwilling but uncontrollable body that fell to the ground.
"Zhao Xunyan ——!"
Chu Xi didn't know when she couldn't cry, she didn't even know why she was crying, as if she was saying goodbye to all the things in her previous life, and it seemed that she saw Zhao Xunyan die like this, and her heart was a little sour.
Zhao Xunyan looked at the horse that was getting farther and farther away, and looked at the assassin who was chasing the horse, he opened his hand weakly, as if he saw the tears in Chu Xi's eyes.
Has she finally forgiven herself?
He has no regrets about everything in his previous life. He died for her in this life, and he also did not regret it. I only hope that in the next life, God can favor him.
"Hassle-free...... Hassle-free ...... The child is called worry-free. ”
He muttered, what he was holding in his hand that had not yet been given to Chu Xi was a string of silver bells he had prepared for the child, which was engraved with 'worry-free', worry-free, smooth life, worry-free forever.
The wind of the grassland also rolled up the wind and dust, covering the sunset, the blue sky and green grass, and the person he couldn't love after all......
