Zhao Shinan stared at Wang Yanshu, his gaze almost cutting him apart.

If it weren't for Wang Yanshu's words that day, he would not dare to rashly attack the Gully Pass, and wanted to negotiate conditions and seek some benefits.

In the past three days, he dealt with Lu Han, ignoring the battle situation in Laoshan Pass, and did not expect that when his eyes were attracted to Lu Han and his tens of thousands of troops, he sent troops to Western Qin.

Wang Yanshu responded silently, annoying him.

"General Ben is going to kill you, and he wants to hang your head outside the pass, so that everyone can see what the fate of deceiving General Ben is."

"In this way, everyone will know that General Feiyun negotiated with Chu for his own selfish interests, ignoring the holy will of His Majesty the State of Qi." Wang Yanshu sneered, "Didn't the general lock me up in anger that day to hide the ears and eyes of the several lieutenants present?" ”

He looked like he was going to die, but his words were so sonorous and powerful. Zhao Shinan's chest rose and fell, and his face was red from anger. His eyes were fierce, and he wanted to cut the person in front of him with a thousand knives.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Wang Yanshu said: "The envoy died in the enemy camp, for the sake of his family and country, for the righteousness of the country, without regret in the wind, without fear." ”

Zhao Shinan angrily threw him aside. Wang Yanshu fell to the ground, and his fragile bones were in pain. He got up, dusted off his sleeves, and stood calmly.

Zhao Shinan was silent for a while and suddenly said, "I heard that you are Rong Laihou's teacher." ”

Wang Yanshu's face stiffened, and his fragile eyes showed a little panic.

Zhao Shinan caught his eyes and sneered: "I want to see if this Hou Ye will watch you die!" ”

Yun Zhao returned to Beimen Pass, and the mission sent by the Chu State to Western Qin had also gone to Seoul with the letter of state.

Gan Qing looked at her tired face with a hesitant expression.

Yun Zhao was chased and killed all the way, and after several lives and deaths, he breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, revealing a long-lost smile: "What? After making such a big achievement, are you still not happy? ”

Since the alliance of the two countries attacked Chu, she has not smiled for a long time.

Gan Qing dodged her clear eyes. Yun Zhao frowned: "What happened?" ”

"Zhao Shinan rejected General Lu's reconciliation and held Wang Yanshu hostage."

"What did you say?" Yun Zhao's heart beat violently, and she glared at Gan Qing excitedly.

Gan Qing said unhappily: "He has to go." Then he muttered, "I didn't let him go." ”

Zhao Shinan hijacked Wang Yanshu, and didn't even want the gold, silver and jewelry given by Chu State, which was unexpected by everyone.

Yun Zhao rushed to the Lizhou camp stationed outside Hanshuo Pass day and night.

When General Lu Han saw her, he bowed deeply: "Master Hou! ”

"Where's the gentleman?"

"The last general sent people to send gold, silver and beauties, but Zhao Shinan refused to open the city gate or let it go back to Linfeng."

Yun Zhao was so anxious that he was about to cry, and muttered to himself: "It's me who missed it, I missed it." Zhao Shinan will be avenged, and if I use him, he will take revenge. ”

The afterglow of the setting sun was hidden in the dark clouds, and it was about to snow again.

Yun Zhao took a deep breath and suppressed the tremor in his heart. No, she has to be calm, the husband is still waiting for her.

"Send someone to talk to Zhao Shinan tomorrow."

"Yes." Luján glanced at her. Yun Zhao's face was deeply tired, and there was a bloody foam called murder in his cloudy eyes.

The next day, Lu Han sent people to the city of Hanshuo, and Zhao Shinan stood on the city wall, looking down on the people who were as short as ants under the city.

"Unless the Marquis of Rong Lai comes, there is no need to talk about it."

The one who came to negotiate was Lu Han's lieutenant general, named Han Wu, who was also a short-tempered person, and he came to suffer three times and twice, and he was impatient, tilting his head and shouting: "Who do you think you are, and our Hou Ye can also see you if you want?" I really treat myself as a green onion! ”

Zhao Shinan was so angry that his face turned green. He turned his head viciously and said, "Bring Wang Yanshu up." ”

The gentleman was tied, and the finger-thick hemp rope was wrapped around his body many times, and his upper body was tied to death.

He was pushed against the wall, half leaning out. He had almost no breath of a living person, his hair was half gone, his cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He looked terrible.

"If I can't see Rong Laihou, I'll kill him now."

Zhao Shinan grabbed Wang Yanshu and pressed his head.

Han Wu knew the righteousness of this gentleman, and for the sake of the success of the battle of Western Qin, he took risks alone, which made him admire.

He watched Wang Yanshu being fiddled with, and his eyes were red with anger: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as things!" What kind of skill is it to fiddle with a scholar! If you have the ability, you can fight with Lao Tzu. ”

Zhao Shinan sneered, ignoring his clamour.

Wang Yanshu's dry lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. It's more painful than letting him die.

Suddenly, among the soldiers under the city, one person pulled a bow and arrows, and the speed was staggering. Before everyone could react, the arrow flew over the city wall and pierced Zhao Shinan's chest. He took two steps back, and the hand holding Wang Yanshu was released. The Qi army was in chaos on the city wall.

Wang Yanshu saw the person holding the bow and arrows, she was hidden in the army, wearing ordinary armor. But he still saw that among thousands of people, she was so unique and dazzling.

Wang Yanshu jumped down from the city wall. The cart prepared by Han Wu under the city was piled with sacks full of rice and covered with quilts. He fell into the car.

The Qi army began to fire ten thousand arrows. The Chu army propped up their shields and turned around and retreated. Han Wu led people to deal with the aftermath, and fought and retreated.

The army withdrew to the Gully Pass and returned to the Lizhou camp.

Wang Yanshu was covered with injuries all over his body, his calf hurt so much that he couldn't move, and his arm was dislocated, but fortunately he didn't break it. In addition, he has not eaten for days and his body is weak, so he must have to recuperate for a while.

Yun Zhao finished cooking the report to Beijing, and then came to see him.

He reclined on the bed, looking lethargic.

"Sir. Why don't you take a break? ”

Wang Yanshu opened his eyes, and Yun Zhao had already walked in front of him.

"It's good to see you safe."

Yun Zhao's eyes were hot, and he sat down on the edge of his bed.

"Sir, I should have said this to you."

Wang Yanshu smiled.

Yun Zhao frowned: "You went out without authorization, put yourself in danger, and dared to jump off the city tower." Sir, what will I do if you die? ”

"I know you're here, jump down and you can save me."

Wang Yanshu's frank and unreserved trust made Yun Zhao's heart shake. They know each other, and they don't even need a glance to know what to do next when it's critical. Like the cart she prepared in advance, like he jumped off without hesitation.

Yun Zhao was angry and distressed. She couldn't forget the gentleman at the city gate, proud as he was pinched on the back of the head, like a prisoner. She couldn't forget his pale face and embarrassed body.

She stared down at his hand, shook it, and then looked up at him: "Sir, promise me never to take any more risks." ”

"Zhao'er, you are on the front line of life and death on the battlefield, and the fighter plane is fleeting, I want to help you."

Yun Zhao's nose was sour, and tears filled his eyes. She took a deep breath, looked into her husband's eyes, and made up her mind to say, "Sir, I can lose this war, and I will find another opportunity to take the North Gate Pass in the future." But I can't live without you. If you die, I don't know how to live. ”

Wang Yanshu was stunned.

"Sir, I put you in my heart, I don't ask you to love me the same, I just want you to be safe, don't let me lose you completely."

Their eyes met in one place, Yun Zhao looked away in a panic, let go of his hand, she stood up and wiped her face: "Sir, have a good rest, I'll go out first." ”

She was just about to leave, and her hand was grabbed. She turned around and saw her husband holding her hand, looking up at her, there was a surging warm tenderness in his eyes: "Zhao'er, so is my heart." ”

Yun Zhao was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant by "the same". Her lips trembled slightly and asked, "Sir, what did you say?" ”

"Linfeng is happy with the clouds, has dodged, feared, and failed your friendship, after this incident, I know that the world is impermanent, and life is short. In the future, I will be brave, cherish, and serve you as my life, and I will never fail again. ”

Yun Zhao was overjoyed, threw himself into his arms, and cried. Wang Yanshu gently stroked her head and sighed softly: "Zhao'er, I'm sorry." ”

I'm sorry that I dodged and refused because of cowardice, which made you sad and swallowed the bitter fruit alone.

The period during which Wang Yanshu was recuperating from his injuries was one of the few days in which they had been together day and night in the past few years.

After the edict of the imperial court, the Marquis of Rong Lai sent troops privately, which was a great crime. However, the results are quite abundant, benefiting the people, and the merits and demerits are offset by no rewards or punishments.

Even Lu Han complained about her, such a great achievement, but the merit was offset by the demerits.

Yun Zhao didn't care too much. The gentleman's injuries were healed, and they set off for the North Gate.

That's what Yun Zhao cares about most right now.

The emperor decreed, the north gate of the city to give the name of Gu'an City, from all over the transfer of officials to perform their duties one after another, the people of Gu'an City to reduce the tax for three years, Gu'an Pass by the Marquis of Ronglai to supervise the construction, must be completed before the summer of the next year.

When Yun Zhao arrived in Gu'an, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and the next day was Chinese New Year's Eve. The city of Gu'an, however, was shrouded in an atmosphere of silence and desolation.

Early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yun Zhao went to the city gate to inspect as usual. Gan Qing got up early in the morning to accompany her.

Welcoming all the way, the soldiers who saw them saluting all bowed their heads and shouted respectfully: "Commander, general." ”

If Yun Zhao lived up to the honor of Rong Laihou before, now she not only turned the tide of the battle, but also took the enemy city with a bold move, and simply became the god of the Yuyang Army, and the whole army worshiped her to the ground.

They climbed the tower, and the cold winter wind blew and made everything new. Yun Zhao's hand was on the battlement, and his heart was indescribably excited. The rough wall tiles under the palm of her hand truly told her that this place already belonged to the Chu State.

To the south, there is an open plain, a bald forest at the end of the sight, and further south, the place that cannot be seen is Zhuyangguan.

The border between Great Chu and Western Qin is drawn between Gu'an Pass and Zhuyang Pass. Since then, Gu'an Pass is the strong south gate of Shuozhou.

Walk slowly down the city tower and return to the government along the deserted street. There are occasional pedestrians in the streets, and every few steps there are soldiers guarding them, and patrolling squads come and go. The soldiers passing by were all whispering after saluting, and when they saw Yun Zhao turn around, they all retracted their heads.

Yun Zhao frowned, turned his head and asked Gan Qing, "Who do they say is the Marquis of Purple Yi?" ”

"You." Gan Qing shrugged his shoulders and looked at her with a smile, "It's really strange to call a girl 'Hou Ye', and it is disrespectful to call her 'Ronglai Hou'." You often wear purple clothes, so I call you 'Purple Cloth'. ”

Yun Zhao also wanted to laugh a little, and her eyebrows showed a soft warmth: "I like it very much." ”
