Qingchuan History

Chapter 723

The two horses ran out of the long dark passage, and passed through the dense forest all the way to no one.

"Prince Ning and the important officials who received the edict have already left for Bai, and it will be better in Jupei City."

Ju Peinai, the female monarch, promised to send the southernmost of the four cities to Qi State. Because of the agreement of the Three Kingdoms, when the envoys of Qi State arrived and handed over, it would soon be assigned to Qi State.This is what I mean by better.

"Sneaking at this moment, Gui Qi is the same." The speed is still extremely fast, and Gu Xing's voice is in the wind.

Shen Ji was slightly taken aback, "Yes."

"You don't ask me why you can't help but be escorted by Yunshui's own elite and return to the country in a grand manner."

"Three Kingdoms are encircled by Yunshui, and there are mixed soldiers, civilians, enemies and friends. The one on Yinhuang Terrace may not be the only one. It is easy to assassinate in the past, but difficult to hide and find someone. The situation is just now, and it is better to hide; and General Chai Zhan must lead an army to deter. Until the handover of the city is completed and the situation is completely settled, there are only a limited number of people who can protect the emperor and return first; it is not comprehensive for the emperor to continue to leave rhyme for this. And, "the horse does not stop, urging him to think quickly,

"Your Majesty is worried about Jidu, so I want to hurry back and find out."

After all, they have been together for more than ten years, and the cycads are also blooming.Gu Xinglang laughed but couldn't tell if he was right or wrong. "I talked with Ji Huan under the tree last night, you heard it all."

The strong wind blew the pinna hot, and after a while, Shen replied quickly: "I heard about half of it."

"You are always perched on a tree, you can hear everything you can, why only half of it?"

"Back to Your Majesty." It seemed difficult to answer, so he paused again, "At that time, I was extremely hungry."

Gu Xinglang didn't realize this was the reason at all, and had no reason to laugh, "I'll find a place to eat some later. These two horses can stand still overnight without being fed, and they can only run when they are full."

Horse food is easy to find, and the mountain is full of fodder, but human food - hunting and roasting now is also easy to cause trouble if the time delay is delayed?

When he stopped in the land with abundant water and grass, Shen Ji would know where the food came from.

Gu Xinglang wrapped a few pieces of those pastries in a handkerchief last night and carried them in his bosom.

He stretched out his hands to take it.Gu Xinglang hurriedly blocked it, "Just take the snacks away, don't touch the handkerchief."

Shen Jifang noticed that there was an orange flower embroidered on the corner of the Napa.Qi Gong has been around for a long time, and now he recognizes orange blossom and peony most.Although Ruan Xueyin and Gu Chunfeng are not good at embroidery.

This one is embroidered ugly.Only then will it be carried around like a baby by the emperor.

He smiled and took away the food, Gu Xinglang squatted down to the water's edge to wave a handkerchief.

"Since you know that you are going to hide and you may have to hide for several days and nights, why don't you prepare dry food? You are so hungry." He carefully shook the veil to ensure that no debris was left, and turned his back to him.

Shen Ji truthfully replied that it was distributed to Duan Xirun, while eating, Chi asked: "I thought that Jun Shang didn't eat last night because I was afraid—"

"Afraid of being poisoned? The lady is not that stupid, she poisoned me to kill me, and rushed to give the opportunity to go to war and destroy the country."

This is true.

"She's not stupid, so it's not necessarily the case for other people." Gu Xinglang said again, "After all, there are a small number of people who look at the big picture, and there are people who look at things too radically."

Shen Ji nodded, "It's unusual for the soldiers of the Bai Kingdom to charge up to the Phoenix Terrace to protect the nun earlier."

"I'm not afraid of bright swords and spears, but I'm most afraid of fish in troubled waters." Gu Xinglang wrung out the veil after washing, and held it in his hand to dry, "You have listened to the conversation between me and Ji Huan. Then try to answer again, why didn't I choose?" Escorted back to China by Chai Yinuo. Except for the reason just now."

That dialogue is about monarchy, but also about aristocratic families.There was still half a piece of dim sum left in Shen Ji's hand. "Your Majesty, are you worried about the Chai family?"

Gu Xinglang smiled, and walked back to the Zhaoye jade lion, "You have been with me for so many years, have you seen anyone I trust for a long time?"

Shen Ji thought about it seriously, the names and faces of people lingering in his mind.

And suddenly understand the meaning of this question.

The king is alone, no one believes in everything, everyone only believes for a while, but among the thousands of troops, he chooses one person to believe for a long time, and at this moment, he will accompany him back to the court.

"The minister will never give up!"

Gu Xinglang watched half of the cake in his hand sprinkle some crumbs with his kneeling posture, and smiled again: "Okay. There is no one else, you and I are still the same as we were in Buzhou Mountain in the past, and there is no need for monarchs and ministers. We are full. , keep going."

As the horse stepped into the mountains and forests, the sunlight faded at a speed visible to the naked eye and finally disappeared.The central and northern borders of Bai Kingdom have been heavily armed for several days, and now the city is being handed over, so there should be many people migrating, but there are no people. It can be seen that Shen Ji chose an out-of-the-way route.

At night, there are no people to meet, the surroundings are dark, and the moonlight penetrates the fallen branches.

Hurrying on their way, they still need to talk to refresh themselves after a long time. Starting with Gu Xinglang, the two of them talked about the relationship between Buzhou Mountain 12 years ago, the sudden avalanche, and the boy who fell from the sky.

"There is always you in every danger. Shen Ji is indeed a magic weapon, you can't ask for it if you encounter it."

Shen Ji had never heard Gu Xinglang say such a thing before, so he replied after a long while: "Your Majesty has absurd reputation. Except for the chance on that day, since then, every time I appear in time, it is arranged in advance by Your Majesty. Even the word "Shen Ji" is also a It was given by Your Majesty."

"I was only ten years old at the time. You are older, and you would rather accept the name from a brat."

"I like this name very much, it is concise."

Gu Xinglang was silent for a while. "Do you still remember your original name?"

Shen Ji was silent for a longer time. "At that time, I talked about Bu Zhoushan's past with His Highness Chunfeng, and mentioned it. Besides, I seldom think of it again."

"It's a pity for you and Chunfeng."

He said it was a pity, but he neither persuaded nor asked; why is it a pity, the answer is like a voice drifting away in the wind.

It was more than half of the night when I crossed the entire northern border of the Bai Kingdom and approached the former Qinan border.

At the end of the ugly time, it was very quiet.Most of the remaining troops in the southern border followed Chai Zhan in Yunshui, and Hou Ning Wang brought many officials into Baigai and took away a lot, so that at this moment, the border camp is like an empty city.

Fortunately, she suppressed it in Qi Palace and did not send 20 to [-] forbidden troops to go south to "protect the emperor", otherwise Jidu might be turned into an "empty city" at this moment or in the morning.

"In order to get to Jidu as soon as possible, there are two shortcuts. One goes through the town more often, and the other goes through the mountains." Shen Ji said softly in the darkness.

Gu Xinglang squinted his eyes to look at the national border that he couldn't see clearly. "Which one do you think is better?"

One's own land, one's own town, and local soldiers are also one's own family members, and they will protect them when they are in danger, so they should choose the first one.

However, in the middle of the night, most of my family members who have fewer distracting thoughts are sleeping peacefully, but "people of insight" are dormant like tigers and wolves.

Especially this Qi Nan used to be the isolated island of King Xin, after the midsummer long festival cleaning, the wildfire was endless.

But is there no ambush in the mountains?
Shen Ji hesitated more than him, and his heart was heavy.

"Let's go through the mountains and fields." Gu Xinglang quickly made up his mind, "Would you like to go through the Qianlong Road?"

Shen Ji responded affirmatively, and the two rode their horses northward.

The night wind howls, and the colder it gets to the north, the night in Qi territory is cloudy, the moonlight is blocked and it is difficult to illuminate the road ahead, and the first wave of ambush begins in the wilderness.

It was dark, the tall grass was deep enough, the loud sound of horseshoes was a natural target, and the crossbow arrows swept over, bringing the hurricane with showers.

Invisibility can only be distinguished by hearing, the disadvantage is also the advantage.The target is clear, and it is moving; the shooting field of vision is blurred, and it is inevitable to miss the head.There is no need to compete because of the huge disparity in the number of people. The two decided to run wildly all the way since they set foot on the journey back to the north.

The sound of swishing arrows and the sound of horseshoes startled the night birds.

The sharp blade touched the clothes over his shoulders three times, and Gu Xinglang remembered that there was a sword wound on his back last night, so he didn't care if it wasn't deep.

The sound of chasing across the wilderness is significantly lower.

"Your Majesty?"

"No." Missed the arrow, "You?"

"nor."

"Qi Jun disappeared again after being attacked at Yinhuang Terrace. This should be passed on. They have learned the trick after playing it once. They guessed that I would sneak back. One last try. If you don't come back with a combo How to bet."

He didn't say who they were.

Shen Jimo paused in the night wind for a while, "Your Majesty, why don't you change to Hu Lei's refuting envoy? Or, ride with me."
