Chapter 249: Heating Up

Tang Wanyun also understood that Shangguan Xiu was not deliberately contradicting herself, but deliberately trying to win over people's hearts, which made her faintly worried. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The purpose of winning people's hearts is very simple, that is, for a longer period of governance and rule in the future, Shangguan Xiu's approach is obviously to treat Zhenjun as his own territory. After all the rebels in Zhenjun were wiped out, Shangguanxiu's forces were dominant in Zhenjun, and at that time, would he still listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, and who would dare to guarantee that he would not be the king and hegemon in Zhenjun?

She was pondering in her heart, Shangguan Xiu had already mounted his horse, came to her, smiled at her, and whispered: "The county lord won't blame me for the confrontation just now, right? The people of Zhenjun County are already living in hardship enough, especially recently, when rebellions have broken out and the people are struggling to make a living, can we stop killing or should try to stop killing." ”

Tang Wanyun shook her head, letting herself stop thinking about it, or she didn't dare to think about it anymore, if Shangguan Xiu really established herself as the king in Zhenjun in the future and fought against the imperial court, she didn't know what she should do.

She took a deep breath, cheered up, and said nonchalantly, "If you think you're doing the right thing, do it, you don't have to explain it to me." ”

Shangguan Xiu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I just hope that the county lord can understand the difficulties of the people of Zhen County. ”

Tang Wanyun said faintly: "I don't have time to understand. In a few days, I will join forces with the Central Army, and then I will lead my army into Ningnan to fight. ”

Shangguan Xiu frowned and asked, "The county lord really wants to do what the court wants?"

"Or else?"

"It's just a legion, but it has to fight in Ningnan, even if it is an old strong army, it is difficult to do anything, not to mention, this 100,000-strong army has just been formed by the imperial court, and it can't be compared with the legion of the central army at all, the county lord took them into Ningnan, the lives of these 100,000 soldiers are worried, and the situation of the county lord is ...... It can also be dangerous. Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said. In his opinion, this tactic of the imperial court is no different from letting Tang Wanyun go to Ningnan to die, but he is not easy to say directly.

Tang Wanyun glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Are you caring about me?"

Shangguan Xiu sighed and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't I care?"

Although his words were blunt, Tang Wanyun's heart was still warm after hearing it, and she said: "This order was directly issued by His Majesty, I have no room for bargaining, let alone the possibility of refusing, I must carry it out." ”

Shangguan Xiu was not speaking. Tang Ling is a master of playing with political power, but whether she is a master of using soldiers or not, I can't tell now, in short, this tactic formulated by Tang Ling is too risky.

He and Tang Wanyun rode side by side, and after a long time, he said: "I heard that Ningnan's garrison in Yushah has withdrawn to the territory of Ningnan. ”

"Yes. ”

"After you lead the army into Ningnan, don't go too deep, be steady and steady, step by step, even in the case of successive battles, you must try to slow down the pace and march slowly. Shangguan Xiu said slowly.

Tang Wanyun looked at him puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" After a pause, she smiled and said, "Are you worried that Ningnan will deliberately lead me deeper?"

"This is one of my worries, in addition, if you march slowly, even if you encounter a strong enemy and cannot win the battle, you can decisively withdraw from Ningnan and retreat to the territory of Shah, so that it is convenient for me to send troops to help. ”

"Are you willing to help me?" Shangguan Xiu's words really surprised Tang Wanyun.

Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Regardless of public or private, when you encounter danger, I don't seem to have a reason to sit idly by. ”

Tang Wanyun's heart fluttered, she turned her head and looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly, and she was a little stunned for a while.

"Of course, I hope you will never need my help, but this battle is difficult, so the county lord should be careful!"

"Thank you. Tang Wanyun said in a low voice.

It was rare to hear the word thank you from her mouth, Shangguan Xiu turned his head to Tang Wanyun's gaze, and when the eyes of the two met in the air, their hearts were a little strange.

If it is said that the two of them were not ruthless to each other when they had skin-to-skin kisses, but after that night, the hearts of both of them gradually changed subtly.

Tang Wanyun would be very unhappy because someone claimed to be Shangguan Xiu's wife, and Shangguan Xiu also began to worry about her safety in her heart.

Love at first sight doesn't happen often, and the relationship between people is more slowly cultivated over time.

Just as the two of them looked at each other, more than 20 rebels suddenly stood on the roofs on both sides of the street, and the rebels all held crossbows in their hands, aiming at Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun, who were walking in front, and shot crossbow arrows continuously.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh -

Arrows burst through the wind and flew from both sides of the two. At this time, neither of them had covered their spirit armor, and once they were shot by crossbow arrows, at such a close distance, the strength of the crossbow arrows would also penetrate their bodies.

"Be careful!" Shangguan Xiu, as a cultivator of the wind system, has a particularly keen perception of strong winds, he exclaimed, grabbed Tang Wanyun beside him, and forcefully took her into his arms, and he used his body to protect her.

Dang, dang, dang! Most of the crossbow arrows that flew over were nailed to Shangguan Xiu's body, but when the crossbow arrows were close, they did not make a muffled sound of arrows entering the flesh, but the crisp sound of iron colliding.

Looking at Shangguan Xiu's clothes again, more than ten holes were broken, but the holes in the clothes faintly exuded a metallic luster.

"There are enemies here!" Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Wei Tian and others, who were following behind Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun, shouted one after another, and everyone cast a shadow drift in unison, flashing above the roof of the house, standing with the rebels who were ambushed on the house.

The screams of the rooftops on both sides were incessant, and from time to time the stumps and severed arms of the rebels flew down from the sky. Shangguan Xiu looked down at Tang Wanyun in her arms, looked at her from head to toe, and then asked with concern, "How are you?"

As he spoke, he felt a warm current flow down his cheeks. Tang Wanyun, who was lying in his arms with a misty gaze, shuddered and exclaimed, "Are you injured?"

Just now, a crossbow arrow grazed Shangguan Xiu's cheek, and the edges and corners of the arrow cut a bloody hole on his cheek, and the blood that flowed out instantly dyed his cheek red.

Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and touched it, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a small injury, it's okay." ”

"What kind of small injury, what if the arrow is poisonous?" Tang Wanyun sat up in Shangguan Xiu's arms, carefully examined the wound on his cheek, and saw that the blood flowing out was bright red, not like it was scratched by a poisonous arrow, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out a handkerchief and medicine bottle from her arms, first carefully helped Shangguan Xiu wipe the blood on his face, and then applied the gold sore medicine to his wound little by little.

While helping him with the medicine, she asked faintly, "There is danger, why don't you hide first, but protect me first?"

"Because of my man, you are a woman. "And it's my woman. Shangguan Xiu reacted completely subconsciously just now, and didn't think too much about it, he was also taken aback by his actions, it turned out that unconsciously, Tang Wanyun had become so important in his heart, so important that he could not care about his own safety and protect her first. He cleared his throat unnaturally, and explained awkwardly, "I have an invisible body, but you don't!"

Tang Wanyun bit her lower lip and silently gave medicine to Shangguan Xiu, and after a while, she whispered: "The wound is a little deep, and it may leave a scar in the future." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "For men, scars are achievements, not ugliness. ”

Tang Wanyun felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she was amused by his words, and after a while, she restrained her smile and said seriously: "If you encounter this situation in the future, you don't need to save me, and you don't need to pretend to be a hero, just rely on a few young people, how can you hurt me?"

Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun are not good at words and express their true feelings, in their dialogue, it is difficult to hear sweet words, sweet words are buried in their hearts, and they will only show it in actual actions.

After killing the rebels on the roof, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Wei Tian and others came back one after another, each carrying a few bloody severed heads in the hands of everyone. Wei Tian stepped forward, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Jue hurriedly caught up with him, pulled him hard, and then went to Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun to nunu.

Wei Tian was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, he touched his nose, threw the severed head in his hand to the side of the road, and then waved his hand to the disciples of Tongtianmen under him, and said: "Go and check, there are no hidden rebels nearby, once they are found, they will be killed!"

"Yes! Brother Tian!" the disciples of the Heavenly Sect agreed, and dispersed silently.

When Tang Wanyun helped Shangguan Xiu with good medicine, she sighed when she saw that his wound had stopped bleeding, and it was only then that she came back to her senses, and found that Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, and Wei Tian were standing not far away and looking at herself, and seeing that her gaze swept towards them, the three of them invariably turned their heads away, pretending to look around without incident.

Tang Wanyun looked down, her jade cheeks were crimson, it turned out that she was still sitting in Shangguan Xiu's arms at this time. She hurriedly twisted her body and whispered, "Let go of me, they're watching!"

Shangguan Xiu turned her gaze, glanced around, and then looked at Tang Wanyun with an embarrassed face, feeling that she was much cuter and more beautiful than usual at this time.

Instead of letting go, the arm he wrapped around her waist tightened, and whispered in her ear: "Let them see what can be done, and whoever dares to chew the root of his tongue everywhere, I will not spare it." ”

Tang Wanyun snorted and laughed, and looked at Shangguan Xiu, and suddenly she felt very warm and secure sitting in his arms, a feeling she had never felt before.

If she could, she would have liked to sit down like this, but no, this was the battlefield, and it was in plain sight.

"Hurry up and let me go, or I'm going to get angry......"

Before she finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, and with one hand, he sent Tang Wanyun back to her own war horse.
