621.Chapter 621: Pei Yuanhao's "Desperate Situation"
"Light Cold ......"
I turned around and saw his solemn face, and those originally clear eyes seemed to have condensed countless clouds at the moment, which made my originally relieved mood more and more heavy.
Hearing my voice, he frowned and looked down at me.
From the beginning of this spring hunt, no! It should be said that from the moment I reunited with him in the south of the city, we did not have a moment of leisure and quiet, but even the fire in the Juma River valley just now did not make me feel as uneasy as I did at this moment.
Feeling me tremble slightly, his hands tightened a little more, and I was pressed into his arms.
"Light Cold ......"
I was about to say something more, but as soon as I said it, I heard the frightened voices of the people around me.
"Look!"
Everyone raised their heads to take a closer look, and the men and horses who broke through the thick smoke were getting closer and closer, and they couldn't see who they were, only the scarlet white-edged banners hunting in the wind.
Before I could see what the words were on the banner, I felt the person behind me gasp, and suddenly grabbed the reins and tried to stop the horse, but the horse had already rushed out just now, and at this moment, someone in the crowd in front of me suddenly took an arrow and shot an arrow at this side!
I saw a cold light, with a sound in front of us, and disappeared under us.
I was taken aback, and before I could react, I heard a long, terrible neighing from the horse under my seat, and the whole thing fell with a bang.
Oops, the horse was shot!
I had just thought in my heart that I had fallen with the horse and the whole person had fallen forward, and I was about to fall headlong, but I was afraid that this blow would either kill or hurt, and I closed my eyes in horror.
But at this moment, the hand that wrapped around my body and held the reins suddenly retracted, hugged my waist hard, and twisted it fiercely.
I closed my eyes, and I couldn't see anything in the darkness, except that I felt that I was being held tightly in his arms, and after a whirlwind of the world, a heavy impact came.
"Hmm!"
His muffled snort of pain came from close to my ear, and I hurriedly opened my eyes: "Light cold-!" ”
I was still lying in his arms, with little to lose except for a few abrasions on my ankle and the back of my hand. Only then did I realize that it was he who hugged me tightly and jumped up from the horse's back the moment the horse fell, but he was only able to avoid the danger of the horse falling down, and rolled on the ground with me, sliding out several feet.
On the ground, there was a long trail, almost all blood!
I was stunned and hurriedly turned around: "How are you, Light Cold!" ”
He seemed to be paralyzed, half lying on the ground, and the blood stains had been stretched to the soil under him, I hurriedly turned around and picked him up vigorously: "Light cold! You didn't—"
Before I could finish speaking, my hand was already touching his back.
The damp heat of one hand slid down quickly from between the fingers.
It's all blood!
I stared wide-eyed, I hadn't seen his back since I had just pulled him on horseback, although I knew that he had just been chased by those men and must have suffered some injuries, but I never expected that there were so many deep knife wounds on his back, and the blood had stained the entire back. And just now I was carrying me and sliding across the ground, the clothes on my back were all worn out, the flesh and blood were blurred, and I could barely see a good piece of skin.
And at this moment, four or five horsemen suddenly rushed out of the people and horses in front of us, ran over quickly, and rushed in front of us in an instant.
It's too late to escape.
I hurriedly hugged him tightly, my hands trembling and caressing his back, and I heard him grit his teeth hard, but I couldn't suppress his heavy snort.
The horses had already come running around us, the dust from the horses' hooves filling my vision, and as soon as I looked up, several sharp spears had reached out in front of me.
Pike?
I was stunned for a moment, looked down at the somewhat familiar spear head and red tassel, chuckled in my heart, and hurriedly raised my head - the cold wind blew the flag in front of me unfurling, and I saw a big word clearly on it.
Extend!
My heart sank.
Although the smoke and dust were filled, at this moment I could clearly see the somewhat familiar figure in the crowd, tall and strong, with a domineering aura on his young face.
Shen Xiaokun!
At the beginning, I was a martial champion with amazing skills on the Yaowu Tower, that is, the soldier who led the soldiers to train in the sword washing pool, as soon as I saw his appearance, I immediately remembered something in my heart, and turned my head to look at Qinghan.
At this time, he also gritted his teeth hard, but it didn't seem to be entirely because of the pain.
The men and horses of the Praetorian Guard had already found that the abnormality had stopped, and in the face of such a large group of soldiers in front of them, everyone's faces sank, Sun Jingfei clenched the scimitar in his hand, and his face revealed a little hideous ruthlessness, but at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves behind him followed!
Chen Fu and his people also caught up.
At this time, almost everyone has only one thing on their minds-
Desperate!
Shen Xiaokun brought so many people to intercept him, and Chen Fu and them chased him up, and the Praetorian Guards were nothing compared to them, and they couldn't resist at all!
This battle has no need to be fought!
Pei Yuanhao held Nangong Lizhu with one hand, and pulled the reins with the other, and the horse under the seat seemed to be able to feel the danger of this moment, snorting uneasily, and the horse's hooves kept pacing on the ground, almost digging out a pit.
However, compared to Sun Jingfei, who was almost vicious, and Chang Qing, whose face was pale in an instant, and those officials who were trembling, and a few officials who had fainted and fallen off the horse directly, he still had a calm expression, although his brows were tightly locked, but there was no fear of it.
Those eyes, as black as smoke, were inhaled, covering all their thoughts, making it more and more impossible to see.
Seeing this scene, I gritted my teeth, although the few soldiers around us didn't move, but the sharp spear head against my throat also made me dare not act lightly, I could only hug Qinghan tightly: "It's Shen Xiaokun!" ”
“…… Well. ”
He seemed to grit his teeth before answering.
Thinking back to the red mud on the soles of his shoes that night, I just felt like I was in a state of confusion: "It's you—"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a familiar sound from behind, but he had never had such an arrogant laughter, and when he looked back, it was Shen Gongyi, who rode up with Chen Fu and several of their old generals, and their men and horses had already surrounded us and Pei Yuanhao, and at this moment, they could no longer escape.
I gritted my teeth and hugged the cold hard.
I don't know if it was because of the pain or for some other reason, his breathing became a little heavier, and when I looked up, those clear eyes seemed to be bloodshot and red, and I glared hard at Shen Gongyi, who was slowly pacing forward on horseback.
Shen Gongyun also looked at him and said with a smile: "Liu Qinghan, don't you think it's strange?" ”
“……”
"The message that the old man asked you to bring to Xiao Kun was obviously to ask him to go back and close the Nine Gates of the Imperial City, why is he here now?"
“……”
"Do you think that as long as Xiao Kun returns to the capital, except for General Chen and their people, the old man will no longer arrange people to come to the Juma River Valley, so when you talk to Yue Qingying, you always hesitate and remind them to break through?"
Speaking of this, Shen Xiaokun laughed, pointed at him and said, "Idiot, you're just afraid that you don't know yet, the message that your uncle asked you to bring is the opposite!" ”
When I heard this, I suddenly understood something, and Qing Han's face, which was originally pale because of pain, slowly lowered, and I couldn't see his expression anymore, I could only see the pitch-black eyelashes like crow's wings trembling slightly, covering his clear eyes, which seemed to cast a shadow over those eyes.
Shen Gongyi also smiled: "Not bad." The old man has already told Xiao Kun, if you send a message to him to return to the capital, in fact, the old man asked him to come to the Rejection Horse River Valley; If the old man asks him to come to Juma River Valley, he will return to Beijing! ”
At this moment, my heart shook violently.
The cause and effect, although it is not completely clear, but I have already understood eight or nine points, but I didn't expect that this pair of uncles and nephews are really cunning and cunning, especially Shen Gongyi, who is worthy of being an old minister who has gone through three dynasties in the sea of Huan, and has an old and capable style, thinks deeply, and does ruthlessly, such a person, even if he can't be called a hero, he can be regarded as a traitor!
I felt a pain in my heart, and when I turned around, I saw that Qing Han slowly raised his head, the pale face had no temperature, and the childishness had faded, but in the end, a cluster of flames ignited in his young eyes, he was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Mrs. Shen, what a plan!" ”
"Hmph, do you think the old man really believes in your surrender?"
“……”
On the other side, Shen Xiaokun also sneered: "Do you think that that day you went to the sword washing pool, drank wine with Lao Tzu all night, and said that you should get drunk and enmity in Yaowu Building, and Lao Tzu will really believe you?" ”
He laughed, and while laughing, he pointed at Qing Han with his horsewhip and said, "With your mud legs, you are also worthy of being called a brother and sister to Lao Tzu?!" ”
"......" Qinghan's eyes flickered. That sentence was like a knife piercing his heart, but he just gritted his teeth hard and looked at Shen Xiaokun hatefully.
Shen Gongyi's gaze slowly shifted to the place where the Praetorian Guards were guarded layer by layer, and sneered: "Faint Monarch! At the beginning, you rebelled against the way and forced the palace to seize the throne, and the emperor was so angry that he couldn't afford to be seriously ill, but even if you were allowed to sit on this dragon chair, it couldn't cover up your mediocrity, and you actually reused such an incompetent person with no ink. No wonder since you ascended the throne, civil turmoil in the south has been rampant, wars have been raging in the north, and there is today's defeat, and God will not allow you! ”
“……”
"Today, the old man is going to be ordered by the Emperor Taishang to crusade against you, a faint monarch who is disloyal and unfilial, and forces the palace to seize the throne!"
As soon as his words fell, the centaurs behind Shen Xiaokun all shouted in unison.
My brow furrowed.
Until this time, Shen Gongjun has not given up the card "Emperor Taishang"!
But it makes sense to think about it, there is only one word in this world that can be used all over the world, if he really directly raises troops against Pei Yuanhao, it will be a name of rebellion after all, and if the name is not right, it will not be good; And now he has been using "Emperor Taishang" as an excuse, nominally he has suppressed Pei Yuanhao, although the people of the military department were taken by Shen Xiaokun, but after all, they are people from the imperial court, not comparable to those old generals, thinking that Shen Xiaokun also used the name of Emperor Taishang to deceive these people, and followed them to "rebel"!
Pei Yuanhao was still riding on horseback, his face was calm, he didn't say a word, and his eyes were as black as a bottomless pool.
