Chapter 131: Escape
Xiang Zhuang saw that Zhang Tian had been freed from the predicament, and that Ling'er was still unconscious, so he was suddenly anxious, and he had no scruples, so he picked up Ling'er and prepared to fly to break through.
At this moment, Fan Zeng rushed over with his men and horses and said loudly: "Zhang Chen, the two generals, the generalissimo has an order, let them go!" At the same time, Xiang Yu's order flag was displayed.
The two took the order flag and looked at it, sure enough, it was the marshal's order flag, Zhang Tian's eyes flickered a little at Xiang Zhuang, and waved his hand: "You can go! ”
Xiang Zhuang was both grateful and curious in his heart, how could the eldest brother let them go? Or the father was so powerful that he could persuade the eldest brother, Yu thanked Fan Zeng and said: "Thank you for the rescue, keep it in mind! In the future, I hope that the father will assist the eldest brother wholeheartedly!"
Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Zhuang and said solemnly: "The general is affectionate and righteous, first grieve for some time, wait for me to persuade the marshal more, and when the marshal is gone, the old man will send someone to pick up General Zhuang's camp." The old man will give you another horse, you can ride it and take Ling'er away!"
"So thank you to Father, Father take care, Xiang Zhuang went first. Xiang Zhuang bowed deeply to Fan Zeng, worried that Xiang Yu would regret it, so he took the horse, picked up Ling'er, jumped on the horse and galloped all the way.
Holding Ling'er for a few miles, he felt that Ling'er's body in his arms was gradually cold, reaching out to her pulse, but feeling that the beating was weak, he panicked, and saw that the place where she was cut by Zhang Tian was deep into the shoulder bone, and the muscles next to the wound were purple and black, it turned out that Zhang Tian's sword was strangely poisonous, although Zhang Tian was obedient to Xiang Jun, but he had always only listened to Xiang Yu, and he was ruthless, and even the heart of the eldest brother, although he was willing to let him and Ling'er go, but did not give the antidote.
Seeing that if he didn't give first aid, Ling'er would die of poison when he landed, he was wearing armor, and he came out to fight, how could he have poison-curing drugs on his body? With a deep groan, he jumped off the horse, carried her to the left of the mountain, looked around, looking for the herbs to remove the poison, but for a while, even the most ordinary herbs were not found.
His heart was pounding, and he turned a few cols, muttering prayers in his mouth. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I saw four or five small red flowers growing next to a small waterfall in front of the right. Although it was autumn, it was a blessing to find this Bhutanese grass here. I was overjoyed in my heart, I crossed the two mountain streams with Ling'er in my arms, picked the Bhutanese grass and chewed it, half of it was fed into Ling'er's mouth, and half of it was applied to her wounds, so I picked her up and continued to run forward, regardless of the southeast and northwest, I just wanted to run away from Xiang Yu.
After running for more than 30 miles, Ling'er sighed, woke up, and said in a low voice: "I'...... Am I still alive?" Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he saw the "Bhutanese Grass" taking effect, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" Ling'er said: "It's itchy on my shoulder." Hey, this princess's kung fu is really amazing. ”
Xiang Zhuang sighed and said, "Your poison was not given by the princess, it was injured by Zhang Tian." And he told her what had happened while she was unconscious.
Ling'er was very weak at this time, and she didn't talk, but her face was pale and her eyebrows were deep.
Xiang Zhuang gently put her down, and when he looked at her shoulder again, he saw that the black qi was not faint at all, but her pulse was not as weak as before. Xiang Zhuang groaned slightly, knowing that the medicinal properties of "Bhutanese grass" were too slow to pull out the poison, so he leaned over to her shoulder, sucked out the poisoned blood from the wound in one mouth, and spit it on the ground.
Ling'er star's eyes slanted, stretched out her hand to stroke his hair, and sighed, "Brother Zhuang, do you think Brother Yu can still tolerate me?"
Xiang Zhuang finished sucking the poisonous blood, went to the mountain stream to take a sip, came back and sat beside her, and sighed: "Big brother, big brother, I don't know if he can still tolerate you, and even I don't think I will see you anymore." "Ling'er said: "Why did he send Zhang Tian to arrest me, knowing that he is good at using poison, he must be trying to take my life." "Xiang Zhuang said: "I also thought it was strange at first, why Zhang Tian came to capture us. I see. ”
"Brother Zhuang, do you want me to go back to Xiangjun with you?" Ling'er smiled.
"This, let's wait until the eldest brother is angry! However, Ling'er, even if you don't go back to Xiang Jun with me, you can't help Liu Bang. Xiang Zhuang said again.
"Liu Bang is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and he is very important to the people and talented people, who is your eldest brother, proud and arrogant, and you don't need to let go of a great talent like Han Xin, and you, do you often complain that he is too cruel. It's better to go to Pei Gong with me, Xiang Yu has no way, and the hearts of the people belong to Liu and not to Xiang!" Xiang Zhuang sighed: "No matter how cruel the eldest brother is, he is still quite affectionate to the brothers, how can I leave him?"
Ling'er said: "For the sake of the world, for the common people, brotherhood is insignificant. From ancient times to the present, so many Ming monarchs and holy lords have not killed each other for the sake of the world, not to mention that your eldest brother is really not a Ming lord, and you are not a human being! The greater his power, the greater the injury of innocent people, and only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world!"
Ling'er's words pierced his heart, why didn't he persuade his eldest brother like this, with his father, he might be able to persuade him. I had to be silent for a while.
Ling'er said again: "Thanks to you today, for me to offend Princess Longji and your eldest brother, do you blame me?"
Xiang Zhuang thought that it was not easy to find Ling'er, and he felt extremely happy to be with her at this moment. Although he was a little ashamed of Princess Longji, he was more comfortable and happy with Ling'er, but he didn't want to admit it, and said: "I naturally blame you, offended the eldest brother, so that I can't go back to Xiang Jun! Princess Longji won't pay attention to me, you have to be responsible for me, you can't leave me!"
Ling'er's pale face was slightly red, and she said with a smile: "You are a person with a marriage contract, don't lie to me again!" When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he just sighed and was silent. How much he hoped to marry Ling'er, but now Ling'er has become Xiang Jun's opponent, and he can't turn his back on Xiang Jun, thinking of this, he feels even more confused in his heart!
Ling'er asked: "What are you sighing again?" Xiang Zhuang said: "I don't know which son did any great good deeds in his previous life, and how much blessing he cultivated, so that he can marry you in the future!" Ling'er smiled: "You may still be too late to cultivate now!" Xiang Zhuang's heart was pounding, and asked: "What?" Ling'er blushed and stopped talking.
Speaking of this, neither of the two was embarrassed to look down and talk about it. After resting for a while, Xiang Zhuang applied medicine to her again, and said, "Ling'er, let's find a remote mountain to temporarily hide from the eyes and ears of the eldest brother!" Ling'er nodded.
Xiang Zhuang picked her up and walked to the depths of the mountains and forests. Ling'er leaned on his shoulder, his pink cheeks were close to the left side of his face, Xiang Zhuang's nose smelled the fragrance of powder, and the warm fragrance of nephrite jade in his hand.
The two rested in the wilderness that night, and Xiang Zhuang was worried that Ling'er's poisonous injury would not be cured for a while, so he took her to a small market to buy some healing medicine, and by the way, he bought two horses, which were convenient for walking.
On this day, the two rode side by side, Ling'er's poisonous injuries were not yet healed, and his body was still very weak, so he walked all the way to rest. Suddenly, I saw a big dust in front of me, and more than 100 horsemen galloped over, only to hear the ironclad sound, and I didn't know that it was the soldiers and horses on the road. Xiang Zhuang thought of dodging, but it was too late......
