Chapter 17 Escape
Wu San was right, the Iron Cavalry was about to enter Qiongta Town, and there was no longer any light in sight not far from the town, only the overwhelming turbid yellow sandstorm was surging violently.
His own adjutant general gathered the number of people and reported to the king of Guanbei: "Except for Lord Shen and General Wen, all the officers and soldiers of the Iron Cavalry have arrived safely.
The king of Guanbei was relieved and anxious, and also followed Ah Yue and Wu San to the city wall. Even Liu Qingyun and the others who stayed at the Wusan Inn rushed over when they heard the news and climbed the city wall to watch.
Liu Qingyun was so anxious that he was spinning all over the ground, if it wasn't for others to stop him, he would have grabbed a horse and rushed out of the town to meet Shen Yi.
The sandstorm approached the town of Jonta, leveling everything it passed. A strong wind blew in the face, blowing the people on the city wall almost to stand hard, and the yellow sand that blew with the wind smashed against the solid city wall, crackling.
Ah Yue's face was as pale as snow, with tears in her eyes, although she was in great pain for the loss of Shen Yi, and she wished that she would rush into the wild sand to die with her, but the lives of the people in the town had to be saved. She wiped her tears and trembled to order the Moonlight Clan to close the town gates and quickly retreat.
Hua Susu and Liu Qingyun stopped her left and right, and said in unison: "Wait, wait, maybe I'll come back." ”
Everyone watched the sandstorm roll in, and there was no trace of people. When encountering such a violent and powerful force of nature, let alone a human being, I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to escape.
Didn't Ah Yue hold on to a glimmer of hope, and wanted to wait for that person until the earth was desolate, but the town of Qiongta was just as important, and she hesitated, not knowing whether she should stick to Fang Cai's orders.
Wu San said in a deep voice: "High Priest, quickly order the town gate to be closed, and tell everyone to hide in a hidden place, otherwise it will ......"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Susu cheered, jumped to his feet and clapped his hands, and shouted, "Look, look, they're back." ”
At the front of the sandstorm, two horses suddenly appeared, as if they had come out of the air. The horses were mad, flying with their hooves and running for their lives. The sandstorm was furious, unwilling to let the prey that had been caught in its belly flee, and burst out with a terrifying force like a mountain splitting the ground, and pursued closely behind.
All the people on the city wall opened their eyes wide, their fists clenched, and they did not even dare to breathe, for fear that if they exhaled loudly, they would startle the two weak horses and the two weak men on the horses. They didn't dare to raise their feet, and they were afraid that the strength of the legs and feet would be great, which would help the violence of Changsha and devour the two riders who had finally escaped again.
Liu Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he muttered in a low voice: "I just said that Shen Yi will not die, this kid has never had a big life." ”
The people on both horses were lying low on the back of their horses, staggered by the fierce wind and sand, and seemed to be about to roll and fall off at any moment, but they were still riding on their horses, as if they were racing against each other, you rushed forward, I caught up with each other, no one was far behind, and at the same time struggled with the sandstorm to catch up, struggling not to let the sandstorm catch up.
The two horses galloped wildly, in fact, it was only the blink of an eye, but everyone on the city wall felt as if a long, long time had passed, as if time had stopped, as if the heavens and the earth had disappeared, and in this world, only these two horses and two people on the horse were left, galloping tenaciously, fighting against the tragic and great force of nature. Which side will win when the weak man fights against the powerful force of heaven and earth? This is no longer just a confrontation of absolute power, but a confrontation of two wills.
Seeing that the city wall of Qiongta Town was in front of them, Shen Yi and Wen Feng's already tired and almost exhausted bodies suddenly gave birth to strength again, and they were no longer able to speak, but when they looked at each other, they already understood the other party's unyielding heart, and raised their whips again to urge the mounts under their crotches, and rushed forward.
With this effort, they finally threw the hideous roaring sandstorm farther back and rushed into the town gate first.
The Moonlight Clan hurriedly put the fortified object back to its original design, blocked the gate, and then turned and ran quickly to their respective hiding places. Although they really want to see these two heroes who can get out of the sandstorm, seeing that the sandstorm is approaching, they feel that it is better to save their lives.
Liu Qingyun and the others had already jumped down from the city wall and rushed forward to greet Shen Yi and Wen Feng. Hua Susu and Ah Yue had already burst into tears.
The clothes on Shen Yi and Wen Feng's bodies, especially the flesh and blood on their backs, were torn and scraped by the sand grains rolled up by the wind, and they were stained with blood. The two healthy horses were also staggering, sweating like rain, and their nostrils were wide open and panting rapidly.
Wen Feng's face was bloodstained with sand and dust, and he could hardly see his true face, but his eyes were still round, shining, and he laughed in a hoarse voice, and said: "Lord Shen, I lost to you in the competition, but I didn't lose in the competition, although I still failed to win you." ”
Shen Yi was lying on horseback, and it seemed that it was extremely difficult to even raise his head, but he still reluctantly looked up at Wen Feng, smiled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and finally he couldn't support it, fainted, and his body fell to one side.
Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu rushed to the front and hurriedly reached out to catch it.
At this time, the sandstorm was approaching the town gate, like thousands of hammers slamming at the same time, and the sound was like thunder.
Wu San shouted, "Hurry up." ”
Liu Qingyun didn't have time to think about it, so he put Shen Yi's weak body on his shoulder, exerted light skills with all his might, and rushed out first......
When Shen Yi opened his eyes again, he felt that the sun was dazzling, and he immediately closed his eyes again. He felt as if he was still galloping on horseback, and he could hear the roar of the wind and sandstorm in his ears. He suddenly regained consciousness completely, thinking of the King of Guanbei and the Iron Cavalry, and in a hurry, he wanted to jump up. But as soon as he moved, he felt that his limbs were weak, and every inch of flesh and bone in his body seemed to have been crushed by a huge object, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, snorted softly, and lay back down.
When the severe pain eased slightly, he opened his eyes again and saw Liu Qingyun's smiling face.
Liu Qingyun smiled: "You finally woke up, if you don't wake up, I'll splash you with water." ”
Hua Susu's beautiful face also came over, and complained to Liu Qingyun: "I told you to speak quietly, you are still making trouble, you see that you woke up Brother Shen, right?"
Liu Qingyun smiled and shouted: "Little sister, you are too unfair, he is not awake, you are in a hurry, I am afraid that his injury will worsen, and I complain that we did not try our best to heal him and expel the poison." Now that he's awake, you're still complaining about me. What does it take for you to be happy?"
Hua Susu glared at him and wanted to reply, but he didn't know what he remembered, he blushed first, rolled his eyes, and said to Shen Yi: "Brother Shen, how are you feeling?"
"It's fine. Shen Yi had already recognized that he was lying in the guest room of Wu San's Inn, and it was true that he wanted to escape from the sandstorm, and it was not a nightmare he had, but he was still not at ease, and asked, "King Guanbei...... Iron Cavalry, is it ...... Safety?"
"Rest assured, the Iron Cavalry has not lost a single horse or a single person. Liu Qingyun said.
"What about sandstorm?" Shen Yi asked.
"The sandstorm stopped last night. Good fellow, I've never seen such a powerful sandstorm, everything outside of Jonta is buried under the yellow sand, and now it's all undulating sand dunes outside. Liu Qingyun said.
Shen Yi then asked, "Is Qiongta Town still safe?" In fact, he was able to lie on the bed safely and see the sunlight through the window, which meant that Qiongta Town had escaped this catastrophe, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Liu Qingyun said: "Well, most of the town was also buried in the yellow sand, but everyone dug and cleaned up overnight, and now this Qiongta Town is standing in this desert as before." Speaking of sandstorms, he still has lingering palpitations.
Hua Susu preemptively said: "Fortunately, Ah Yue and the Moonlight Clan have made preparations in advance, only a few houses are broken, and some townspeople are injured, but they are not serious. ”
"If it weren't for them, we would have been buried alive under this desert along with this town. "Liu Qingyun really admires the Moonlight Clan's ability to resist sandstorms this time.
Shen Yi smiled and asked again: "Are the King of Guanbei and the Iron Cavalry still in Qiongta Town now?" Having escaped the raging sandstorm and having to face the real problems, the reason why the King of Guanbei rushed to this Qiongta Town was not to take away the witnesses related to Li Lilong's case?
Liu Qingyun said: "He took the Iron Cavalry back to Xilu City this morning. ”
"This morning?" Shen Yi frowned and said, "What time is it?"
Hua Susu said: "Brother Shen, your injury has recurred, and you have lost your strength again, and you have been in a coma for a night and a half a day, and now it is afternoon. ”
Shen Yi asked anxiously, "Are Gong Qianshan and Li Xiaoli still in the inn?" He was worried that the King of Guanbei would take away the witnesses when he left, which would make the already eye-browning case even more complicated.
Liu Qingyun's face became serious, and he said, "Don't worry, except for the Iron Cavalry, King Guanbei didn't take anyone with him when he left. ”
Hua Susu glanced at Liu Qingyun and said, "Then it's impossible for the prince to take people away, and the third brother is more vigilant than the hounds staring at those two." The third brother said that without the consent of your eldest brother Shen, no matter who wants to take someone out of Qiongta Town, you must first ask him if he agrees to the single knife in his hand. ”
Shen Yi looked at Liu Qingyun, and without waiting to speak, Liu Qingyun waved his hand to stop him first, and said, "Don't say thank you, this is what I should do." If it weren't for your punch, I would have been the one who would have been injured or even killed. Although I am grateful for your life-saving grace, but the next time you save me, can you not strike so hard? Your punch made my boss bruised in the shoulder, and his arm was sore for two days. ”
Hua Susu smiled at him and said, "You talk a lot of nonsense, so the prince will explain your affairs when he leaves." ”
Liu Qingyun glared at her dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Is what I said all nonsense? Do you see that Shen Yi, this kid, has been in a coma for almost two days, and he can't figure out whether it is day or night, and he can't explain things one by one?"
Hua Susu pursed his lips and said, "You are simply mixed up and can't distinguish priorities, but you always think that you are doing something big." ”
Shen Yi had long been accustomed to the two bickering, although he was so anxious that he wanted to know what was going on with the King of Guanbei, he could only smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and when they finished their fight, he would turn to business.
Liu Qingyun shouted: "Of course, everything that my Third Master Liu has done in this life is a big thing, what, do you think that only your Brother Shen is the one who does the right thing? Oh, I understand, in your heart, your Big Brother Shen is the top priority to yawn and drink saliva, right?"
Hua Susu secretly glanced at Shen Yi, her pretty face turned red, and she was so angry that she stammered, "You...... You are ...... What nonsense?"
"Hehe, what I say, you know it in your own heart. Liu Qingyun finally gained the upper hand, and Hua Susu blushed and choked after saying a few words, and couldn't help but be very proud, so he turned back to Shen Yi and said: "When the king of Guanbei left, he asked me to bring you a gold medal, saying that if you use him in the future, as long as you take out this gold medal, he will definitely go all out and sacrifice his life to help him." As he spoke, he took out a gold medal from his arms, handed it to Shen Yi, and said, "That General Wen Fengwen has been nagging for a long time, and it almost means the same thing.
Shen Yi took the gold medal, and when he saw a few small characters engraved on it with the military order of the King of Guanbei, he was moved in his heart for a while and was speechless.
