Chapter Ninety-Nine: Danger lurks

"General Xiang, don't kill her!" Xiang Ye's long sword was on Xin Tong's neck, and he was about to use the long sword to slash through Xin Tong's snow-white neck, but Li Xinpeng, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, barely supported his body and shouted to him: "She's not a bad person, let her go!" ”

Li Xinpeng's words made Xiang Ye and Xin Tong stunned, and Xiang Ye looked at Li Xinpeng like a fool. Xin Tong also bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, and looked at Li Xinpeng, who was hit hard by her, with her eyes full of complexity and incomprehension.

"My brother asked me to let you go." Xiang Ye withdrew his long sword, grabbed Xin Tong by the way, and staggered her forward a few steps before saying, "If he intercedes today, I won't kill you, but if you want to kill him in the future, I will kill you!" ”

Xin Tong furrowed her brows, looked at Li Xinpeng who fell to the ground with complicated eyes, and after a while, she turned around sharply and rushed towards the city gate.

"Xin Peng, hold on." After Xin Tong left, Xiang Ye helped Li Xinpeng up and let him lean on his thigh, the wound on Li Xinpeng's body was still gurgling and bleeding, due to excessive blood loss, his face was very pale, and his rosy lips had turned gray and white.

Li Xinpeng closed his eyes slightly, he didn't answer Xiang Ye, he could feel Xiang Ye's powerful arms supporting his neck, but he was too seriously injured to lift up a trace of strength, and he didn't even have the strength to look at Xiang Ye.

Xiang Ye hugged Li Xinpeng and rushed towards the barracks. When he returned to the barracks out of breath, Li Xinpeng had fallen into a deep coma.

Hearing that Li Xinpeng was injured, Shi Lei, Bai Fu and others all gathered over. Even Xiang Qing took Wu Xiu over to visit under Xiang Yu's instructions.

Li Xinpeng's eyes were closed tightly, and his breathing was very weak. He was given medicine and bandaged his wounds, and Xiang Ye ordered someone to boil some soup for him and feed him, so his complexion was slightly better.

"Shi Lei, you come out with me!" After settling Li Xinpeng, Xiang Ye beckoned to Shi Lei and called him outside the house.

"What's the matter?" Out of the room, Shi Lei followed behind Xiang Ye and asked with some confusion.

"Do you know who injured Xin Peng?" Xiang Ye turned around and stared at Shi Lei without blinking.

"How do I know?" Shi Lei frowned, looked at Xiang Ye with some dissatisfaction and said, "You won't suspect that I did it, right?" What reason and motive do I have for finding a swordsman to assassinate him? ”

Xiang Ye shook his head expressionlessly, and said to Shi Lei: "I don't doubt you, I doubt that woman, you have to be careful, don't fall into her hands, we won't be able to save you then!" ”

"Don't worry about it!" Shi Lei glared at Xiang Ye angrily, don't turn his head and ignore Xiang Ye anymore.

Xiang Ye saw that he couldn't tell Shi Lei, shook his head with a wry smile, and returned to Li Xinpeng's barracks silently.

Meng Su sat leaning against the corner, she had prepared the dry food and drinking water to be consumed by the three of them on the way, and was ready to go to Yongqiu, but she didn't expect Li Xinpeng to have an accident at this time.

Li Xinpeng, who was in a coma, had a high fever, and he was helpless in the army, so he suggested applying a cloth soaked in cold water to his forehead.

Xiang Ye didn't let the soldiers do all this, he sat cross-legged next to Li Xinpeng's couch, and personally twisted a wet cloth on his forehead for him.

Touching Li Xinpeng's hot forehead, Xiang Ye couldn't help but feel a burst of anxiety in his heart, he suddenly had a strong dissatisfaction with the medical level of this era, just a fever would make Lang Zhong helpless. He couldn't wait to travel back more than 2,000 years and buy antipyretic medicine for Li Xinpeng.

The people who came to visit Li Xinpeng left one after another, and in the end, only Xiang Ye and Meng Su, who had been sitting in the corner, were left in the barracks.

"Is it he who you want to take with you to Yongqiu?" Seeing Xiang Ye constantly changing the wet cloth to cover Li Xinpeng's forehead, Meng Su asked faintly, "Did you already know that someone was going to attack him?" ”

Xiang Ye sighed and didn't look back, his gaze stayed on Li Xinpeng's pale face, he nodded lightly and said: "Yes, I have always had a feeling in the past few days, I'm afraid you don't know about Shi Lei's affair with Lu Pheasant, I always feel that he and Xinpeng know a little strangely, maybe something was broken by Xinpeng that day, and he brought Xinpeng to me." ”

"Do you suspect that it was Lu Pheasant who attacked Li Xinpeng?" Meng Su furrowed his brows, looked at Xiang Ye with some apprehension and asked.

Xiang Ye pursed his lips and said: "Maybe you don't know Lu Pheasant, she is a woman with a great desire for power, and she married Liu Bang, who is more than 20 years older than her, the reason is that she is optimistic that Liu Bang may make great achievements in the future." Liu Bang is lustful, after all, he is older, and there should be weakness between the beds, even if he enters it, he should be a thousand miles away after a few hasty strokes! Lu Pheasant is at the age of lust, how can he be satisfied? Shi Lei's appearance just made up for her need for lust. But lust is more like power than power, but Shi Lei doesn't know it. I suspect that Shi Lei brought Xin Peng back precisely because Xin Peng broke his good deeds with Lu Pheasant. Shi Lei won't do anything, but how can Lu Pheasant tolerate Xin Peng, who will expose her scandal at any time? ”

Although these words made Meng Su's pretty face red, it was also reasonable, and Meng Su lowered his head for a while and didn't know how to respond.

"We have to take Xin Peng away, only if he is by my side, I won't worry." Xiang Ye stood up, walked up to Meng Su, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said to her: "In this world, I am a lonely person, since I have you, I know that I am not alone, and I will not let any of you get hurt. When the battle is over, I will take you away and leave this military camp that is full of crises. ”

Meng Su raised her head and looked at Xiang Ye's eyes, from those eyes, she saw endless profundity for the first time, and this profundity made her suddenly feel like she had never really understood Xiang Ye.

That night, Xiang Ye went to Liu Bang's tent after arranging for Bai Fu and Wei Feng to protect Li Xinpeng.

In Liu Bang's tent, he stayed for a long time, and no one knew what he talked about with Liu Bang. But afterwards, anyone who has seen Xiang Ye can see that his expression reveals a sense of loneliness, a kind of loneliness that only extremely frustrated people have.

A fiery red war horse galloped on the official road, and behind the war horse, was a girl in a white robe, the girl kept waving the whip, spurring two horses pulling a cart to follow behind the fiery red war horse.

In the carriage of the cart, a pale teenager closed his eyes tightly, the bumpy carriage did not affect him in the slightest, he slept so deep and sweet!

Xiang Ye, who was riding on horseback, galloped wildly, and Chiji's heavy wheezing and the sound of the wind whirring in his ears made him feel a pride in riding the horse.

Xiang Ye was enjoying the thrill of galloping his horse, and more than a dozen people dressed in black suddenly jumped out of the grass fifty steps ahead of him.

The dozen or so people were all armed with short swords and shields, and they were dressed in a somewhat nondescript manner.

Seeing these people rushing out, Xiang Ye pulled the reins of his horse, and Chi Ji stood up with a long hiss, and stopped at a distance of only more than ten steps from more than ten black-clothed people.

"Who are you? Why block the way? Xiang Ye held the reins of the horse in one hand, pressed one hand on the hilt of the long sword, frowned and asked more than a dozen people in black.

The man in black didn't answer his question, but craned his neck to look at the cart behind him, which was still speeding this way.

Xiang Ye felt a little annoyed by the other party's ignorance, he drew out his long sword, pointed at the other party, and shouted: "Get out of the way, otherwise I will let you all cross the corpse in five steps!" ”

The man in black still ignored him, but still craned his neck to look at the cart.

Xiang Ye was about to turn over and dismount and rush towards the group of black-clothed people, but Meng Su had already set up the carriage and caught up.

"Thousands of Niu Ben to meet Miss Meng!" As soon as Meng Su's carriage arrived, a group of black-clothed people half-knelt on the ground and saluted her, and the leading black-clothed man said in a loud voice: "There is a hidden crisis ahead, please turn around Miss Meng." ”

"Thousands of cattle runs?" Hearing the self-introduction of the leader of the men in black, Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, he remembered the "Niu Qianhu" who had caused sabotage in Xiang Qing's military camp.

He lowered his head and carefully examined Niu Ben, who was kneeling in front of Monsu. This cow has broad shoulders and a round waist, and a pair of big eyes that are as round as cow eggs even if they don't stare at it, but it adds a bit of majesty that is not angry and arrogant.

Niu Bensheng is burly, but there is one thing that makes Xiang Ye feel a little funny - he actually doesn't grow a beard! The chin and mouth are very smooth, and there is not a trace of beard growth at all. Xiang Ye couldn't help but wonder if he was a woman with a too rough voice and a somewhat brutal appearance dressed as a man's army.

"Whose men are you?" Mengsu did not pay attention to Niu Ben's advice, but jumped out of the carriage and walked in front of Niu Ben, looked down at Niu Ben, who was still half kneeling on the ground, and said, "If you don't say whose subordinates it is, how can I dare to believe you?" ”

When Meng Su said this, Niu Ben's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, he frowned, as if he was very entangled and looked at the more than ten black-clothed people behind him before turning his head and saying to Meng Su: "The general didn't let the villain tell the eldest lady that we belonged, but now the situation is critical, and the villain is no longer able to hide it." We waited for Wang Li's personal entourage under the general's account, and came to rob the army, originally on the order of the general to harass them, since the eldest lady came here, we received a new task, that is, to ensure that the eldest lady is thoughtful. I also hope that Miss Meng will turn around quickly, so as not to hate her for life! ”

After Niu Ben finished speaking, Meng Su wanted to ask what was the crisis ahead, but there was a burst of laughter in the grass not far away.

When this burst of laughter came, Niu Ben and the others suddenly had panicked faces, and hurriedly got up, holding a shield and sword in front of Meng Su.

With the sound of laughter, a young man dressed in an earthy yellow short lean walked out of the grass not far away with two young men in the same costume, and the waist of these two people was not the long sword used by the Central Plains people, but a scimitar with a curved arc.
