As the team moved closer and closer to the north, the weather became cooler day by day. The two teams unknowingly left the border of Huayan and entered the land of Shang Xia.

Hua Yan and Shang Xia are two powerful powers in the south and north in the terrain. Compared with several neighboring countries, both countries can be regarded as rich and strong, and their soldiers are strong. Shang Xia mainly developed agriculture and animal husbandry, while Hua Yan focused on weaving and commerce, and the two countries complemented each other in terms of geographical location, relying on each other in agricultural products and commerce, and established a mutually beneficial alliance relationship. In the event of war, they will also send troops to help each other.

Seeing that the team escorting Murong Zhining was getting closer and closer to Nanjin, the capital of Shang Xia, Qi Yun Yuexuan's mood became more and more melancholy. He understood that once Murong Zhining returned to her father and queen mother, she might never see her again in this life. He remembered what Murong Zhining said, "Mountains and rivers will not meet in the future", and her decision inexplicably made Qi Yun Yuexuan a little sad.

Qi Yun Yuexuan followed behind the team with a heavy heart, if it was said that the purpose of escorting Murong Zhining was to alleviate some of the guilt, along the way, the sense of regret not only did not lessen, but increased a bit of heavy guilt! He could not forgive himself for the sins he had committed on Murong Zhining, and at the same time hoped to obtain Murong Zhining's forgiveness, he was deeply trapped in contradictions and could not extricate himself.

When he set up camp in the evening, Qi Yun Yuexuan personally went to the river to pick a large handful of wild flowers, and ordered Wu Siyuan to send it to Murong Zhining's tent for him. Murong Zhining's camp was not far from him, because of the last kidnapping incident, he was as close to Murong Zhining's camp as possible when he set up camp, and he had to ensure Murong Zhining's safety.

Qi Yun Yuexuan watched from afar as Cai Sang sent Wu Siyuan out of the tent, Cai Sang looked at him defiantly, and threw the wildflowers he had worked so hard to pick into the river outside the tent. Qi Yun Yuexuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he sat outside the tent in annoyance, expecting Murong Zhining to walk out of the tent, he looked at her from a distance.

Murong Zhining did not appear, and Qi Yun Yuexuan sat alone on the stone by the river.

The moon hung high in the cold night sky, casting a clear glow. Qi Yun Yuexuan sat on the stone and blew the flute melancholy, his figure lonely and lonely.

Cai Sang heard the sound of the flute in the tent and asked: "It's so good, I don't know who is playing the flute there, Zhining, what kind of tune is this blowing?" "This is the flute, this song is called "Dream Back to the Han and Tang Dynasties". It is a song lamenting that the prosperous era no longer exists, a little bleak, but very beautiful. Murong Zhining said and walked outside the tent, she wanted to hear more clearly.

Under the bright moon, a white-clothed Qi Yun Yuexuan sat quietly on the stone by the river. The moving sound of the flute slowly melted from his lips into the night, and also into the hearts of every listener. The night was as cold as water, and Murong Zhining's heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked by the sound of the flute.

Murong Zhining was listening to the sound of the flute, and suddenly there was a sound of swords ringing in the distance, and a commotion accompanied by the light of the fire came from a distance, and a guard shouted: "Someone is sneaking up, protect the princess!"

Qi Yun Yuexuan rushed to Murong Zhining's side with agility, pulling her to run to his tent, and several guards followed behind with knives. Qi Yun Yuexuan put on his armor at a very fast speed, he carried the halberd, jumped on the horse, and protected the front.

There were more than a hundred people who came to sneak attack. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they broke through the guards on the perimeter of the camp and attacked the camp. The escorting guards were exhausted and disarmed after a day's journey, and the unsuspecting soldiers were soon overwhelmed. The sneak attack broke through the blockade and chased in the direction of the camp tent of Qiyun Yuexuan. Although Qi Yun Yuexuan had seen hundreds or thousands of times more enemies on the battlefield, he was extremely cautious today, he couldn't let Murong Zhining be in half danger. Although Qi Yun Yuexuan only brought more than 30 guards, his soldiers were all able to fight tough battles and be good at fighting against ten. Qi Yun Yuexuan hugged Murong Zhi on his horse, and under the protection of the deputy generals, he retreated.

Murong Zhining anxiously called Caisang's name on the horse, and Qi Yun Yuexuan roared: "Hug me, otherwise you won't be able to protect yourself." The general's men will protect them. Murong Zhining hugged Qi Yun Yuexuan in fear, she understood that if she was not calm, it would affect everyone's performance. She pressed her face against Qi Yun Yuexuan's back and hugged his waist tightly.

The sneak attack was also a well-trained master, and soon several people broke through the encirclement of the deputy general and rushed to the front of the Qiyun Yuexuan horse. Qi Yun Yuexuan danced the halberd in his hand, and before anyone approached, he was killed one by one under the horse. In order to ensure Murong Zhining's safety, Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't dare to fight, he rode a horse and drove Murong Zhining into the depths of the night, and behind them there was a fire and shouts of killing.

Qi Yun Yuexuan turned sideways and shouted to Murong Zhining behind him: "For the safety of the princess, this general can only take you away." You don't have to worry about them, General Wu can guarantee their safety. I will definitely send you back to Shangxia, you have to trust me. ”

Murong Zhining had no choice in this situation. Although she was scared, she could only trust Qi Yun Yuexuan. The horse galloped along the path by the river, the sound of the wind "whirring" in Murong Zhining's ears, she closed her eyes and hugged Qi Yun Yuexuan's waist tightly.

The horse had been running on the path for a long time, and there was no movement behind him, and the horse slowed down. Murong Zhining glanced back, but no one was chasing after her. Qi Yun Yuexuan's body swayed from side to side, and suddenly leaned to the side, Murong Zhi held him in his arms, and was rolled down the horse with him. In the dim moonlight, Murong Zhining saw an arrow stuck in Qi Yun Yuexuan's back.

Murong Zhining looked around in horror, there was silence in the field, and there was not a single light in the distance. Murong Zhining understood that this was a wild land, overgrown with wild grass everywhere, and there were no people at the roots. She couldn't be afraid, and shook her confused Qi Yun Yuexuan. Qi Yun Yuexuan opened his eyes and looked around: "You hurry up and find a place to hide, those people are coming for you, I can't let them catch you." Murong Zhining shook her head: "I can't leave you at this time." A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Yun Yuexuan's eyes when he heard this: "General Ben will be fine, you run to a place where there are people, and then find someone to save me when you are safe." ”

Murong Zhining looked around carefully, and saw a broken grass tent not far ahead: "I'll help General Qiyun to hide in that grass tent first, no one is chasing after me, I think we are safe for the time being." She helped Qi Yun Yuexuan up, walked into the grass tent, and placed Qi Yun Yuexuan lying on his side on the grass.

Murong Zhining looked around the grass tent, this was a dilapidated grass house, with two walls down, it looked like a grass tent. It seems that someone lived in the house not long ago, and there is a broken table with an oil lamp on it. Murong Zhining fumbled for a fire on the windowsill, and she lit the oil lamp on the table, wanting to check Qi Yun Yuexuan's injury.

Qi Yun Yuexuan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he was still conscious, and a pair of peach blossom eyes swept across Murong Zhining's face. Murong Zhining was at a loss: "The general was hit by an arrow, and there is no doctor here." When I was a child, I saw nurses deal with their own wounds, and if the general is not afraid of pain, I will first pull out the arrow from your body. Qi Yun Yuexuan nodded weakly to show acceptance, he took out a bottle of Jinchuang Medicine from his arms, handed it to Murong Zhining, turned around and turned his back to her.

Murong Zhining made a little effort in her hand, the arrow loosened a little, and she didn't pull it out, and blood spurted out where the arrow didn't enter, and the warm blood splashed her face. Murong Zhining's face turned pale and he sat on the ground. Qi Yun Yuexuan turned around and smiled at him, which was regarded as an encouragement to her, but Murong Zhining didn't dare to do it again because she was afraid. Qi Yun Yuexuan was already very weak, he gritted his teeth and teased: "The princess is thinking about the scene where General Ben branded your back, you want to take advantage of General Ben's illness and ask for General Ben's life......"

Qi Yun Yuexuan's words seemed to give Murong Zhi Ning motivation, she couldn't care about being scared anymore, closed her eyes, shouted, grabbed the arrow shaft and pulled it out. The arrows rang out, and hot blood spurted all over her. Qi Yun Yuexuan's body fell limply on the grass pile and lost consciousness.

Murong Zhi calmed down and was no longer flustered. She took off Qi Yun Yuexuan's armor, used the dagger around Qi Yun Yuexuan's waist to cut the clothes around his wound, and applied the medicinal powder to the wound. Then neatly cut a piece of cloth from his skirt and wrapped it tightly around the wound.

When Qi Yun Yuexuan woke up, he was lying in an elegant room, guarding a little girl ring he didn't know. Seeing that Qi Yun Yuexuan had woken up, Xiao Yahuan called out in surprise: "Young Master Qi Yun, are you awake?" I will go and inform the young master of our family. ”

After a while, a handsome young man dressed in a dark brocade robe and wearing a crown of beads walked into the room, and he behaved in a dignified and elegant manner. Gongzi arched his hand at Yun Yuexuan: "Go down to Tuoba again, and I've seen General Qiyun." In the next compound surname Tuoba, the knowledge of things. The general has been in a coma for three days, and it was Miss Murong who ran to the village two days ago to ask for help, so I ordered someone to carry you to the house. Fortunately, you are wearing armor, but you are still not lightly injured, and the wound is a little infected, so I am afraid that you will have to live in the shelter for some time. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan sat up strongly, hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Thank you for saving the son of Tuoba with righteousness." Excuse me...... Where is Miss Murong now?" Tuoba Zhi shook the folding fan elegantly: "Miss Murong, she is safe, the general doesn't have to worry about it." I saw her playing in the garden with her sister-in-law, so I called someone to invite her. ”
