Chapter 226 Chu Ge
Shen Yuexi found Dr. Hua who was dispensing medicine in a tent.

Doctor Hua rescued Xiao Zhuo many times, he was their benefactor, Shen Yuexi didn't want to keep him.It's just that I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Doctor Hua was still dispensing medicine leisurely.

She asked: "Doctor Hua, we cannot win, we must leave now, please come with us."

To her surprise, Doctor Hua refused, saying: "This old man is old and frail, and being with you will only drag you down, so let this old man stay. Although Xiao Kai is brutal and cruel, he still doesn't embarrass a doctor who can treat wounds. "

"Doctor Hua, what if Xiao Kai..." Shen Yuexi was not at ease.

"What if Xiao Kai wants to chop off the old man's head?" Dr. Hua said for her what she hadn't finished. "That's up to him. The old man is dying, even if he dies, he will have no regrets."

Seeing that Dr. Hua refused to leave no matter what, Shen Yuexi had no choice but to give him a deep bow and said: "Doctor takes care of it."

Just as she was about to turn around and go out, Doctor Hua stopped her again.

"Princess, this old man dares to speak out. Don't scold and urge King Zhao. After knowing that he is not the son of His Majesty, King Zhao's expression is exhausted, and his words and actions are different from usual, which is a sign of exhaustion. If he presses harder, he may have the idea of ​​committing suicide. "

Shen Yuexi also knew that Xiao Zhuo had been hit hard, but from what Xiao Zhuo said just now, it seemed normal.She didn't expect it to be so serious in the eyes of Dr. Hua who is proficient in medical skills. This was beyond her expectation.

She asked, "Then...doctor Hua have a solution?"

Doctor Hua solemnly poured the mixed yellow, white and black powder in a paper bag, sealed it and handed it to Shen Yuexi, saying: "The old man has prepared this medicine. The princess can find a chance to add this medicine to chicken soup and take it for King Zhao." , has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the mind.”

"Chicken soup?" Shen Yuexi took the medicine bag, put it under her nose and smelled it.

The tent was already filled with the smell of various medicinal herbs, and she didn't know the science of medicine, so she couldn't smell it for any reason, but felt that it was a little spicy.

Dr. Hua sighed, and said: "Actually, I have prepared a pair of this medicine before. But when it was given to King Zhao, he overturned it. He said he didn't want to drink the medicine, he only wanted to drink chicken soup. Came back to prepare again."

Shen Yuexi thought to herself: Xiao Zhuo is really confused. Doctor Hua was obviously kind, but he overturned the medicine. Only ignorant children are so self-willed.

She had just carefully put the medicine bag into her bosom when there were faint killing sounds outside the tent.

Qiang Lin rushed into the tent and shouted: "Master, the enemy infantry has already started to attack, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

Shen Yuexi rushed out of the big tent with Qiang Lin and mounted her horse hastily.

She and Xiao Zhuo rode in the middle, Qiang Lin led dozens of hidden guards to guard around, and rushed out of the camp.

Just after leaving the camp, a Jingzhou cavalry composed of hundreds of people charged towards him in the distance.They were patrolling near King Zhao's camp, but Shen Yuexi and Qiang Lin slipped in between two groups of cavalry.Now that so many people came out of the camp, the target was obvious, the Jingzhou cavalry saw them and immediately chased them down.

"It's King Zhao," a sharp-eyed Jingzhou cavalryman saw Xiao Zhuo in the crowd, pointed at Xiao Zhuo and shouted, "Hurry up. The general ordered that if you catch King Zhao, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold."

Xiao Zhuo didn't say a word after hearing this, and still rode his horse forward at the previous speed, as if he didn't hear the other party's words.

Shen Yuexi was nervous, a group of cavalry rushed out from King Zhao's battalion to intercept and kill the pursuers, and the leading general was Qi Shengjue. He opened his bow and set an arrow, shot the person opposite him, and turned his head and shouted: "Hurry up."

"Husband, do you hear me?" Shen Yuexi turned her head and said to Xiao Zhuo.

She immediately remembered what Doctor Hua said before, Xiao Zhuo was exhausted and behaved abnormally.Don't be in a hurry.

With a flash of thought, she came up with a way.

If you can't urge Xiao Zhuo, why can't you urge him to get off the horse.

She raised her legs and took off the whip hanging beside the saddle, swung it in a circle in the air, and lashed the whip hard at Xiao Zhuo's horse.The war horse was in pain, and with a long hiss, it spread its hooves and galloped.

Shen Yuexi also whipped his horse and caught up with Xiao Zhuo.Qiang Lin and other hidden guards followed behind them.

"Husband, let's go to Leshan now." Shen Yuexi caught up with Xiao Zhuo, leaned forward and shouted to him, "My sister Shen Lan is still in Leshan, and so is my husband's aunt and cousin. Let's go to Leshan to pick them up, and then go back Xiaogang Village."

Nanping fell, and Leshan was obviously occupied by Xiao Beiheng's army. It is not yet known whether Shen Lan and Mrs. Li's mother and daughter are safe.But with Qiang Lin and other hidden guards, it was easy to rescue them.Xiaogang Village has a city for defense and an army stationed there.From Shen Yuexi's point of view, it was the only place to stay.

Xiao Zhuo bowed his head and said nothing, trusting the horse to rein.Fortunately, although he was devastated, he sat firmly on the horse.

He rushed northward for a long distance, but he couldn't see Yongwei City, nor could he hear the fighting of the army.Xiao Zhuo's war horse was tired from running, so he slowed down by himself.

Shen Yuexi also reined in his mount, Qiang Lin and other hidden guards also stopped.

The dense dark clouds in the sky were even more gloomy, as if they were just above people's heads, and there were faintly visible lightning flashes in the clouds in the distance, and the air was very stuffy.

Shen Yuexi turned her head to Qiang Lin and said, "Qiang Lin, how do I go to Leshan?"

Qiang Lin didn't answer, but pointed to the distance and shouted: "Master, there are several cavalry in front."

Shen Yuexi turned her head to look, and sure enough, several places of smoke and dust were raised on the horizon, which seemed to have sealed off the entire northern passage.

She couldn't make out the military flag, but she was sure that it would definitely not be helping them.

Qiang Lin looked at it carefully, and said to her: "It's Xiao Beiheng's Dingbei Army, we ran near Xiao Beiheng's camp."

Originally, Xiao Beiheng's Dingbei Army was just north of Yongwei, completely cutting off Xiao Zhuo's retreat.They ran a distance north and bumped into each other naturally.

Before Qiang Lin finished speaking, Shen Yuexi had already turned his horse's head to the east, reached out and grabbed the reins of Xiao Zhuo's war horse, forcibly pulled his horse over and turned around together, shouting: "Everyone, run to the east."

With the previous experience of being under house arrest by Xiao Beiheng, now she doesn't want to fall into Xiao Beiheng's hands again.

With Xiao Beiheng blocking the way to the north, then go east. Could it be that his barracks can completely block the way to the north?

The crowd ran eastward again, and many of their horses were foaming at the mouth, exhausted.

Shen Yuexi felt that after running for so long, there would be no more pursuers.

She slowed down her mount a little, and looked behind her, only to see smoke and dust billowing up from her back, the pursuers had been biting down, and she could faintly hear loud shouts.

"His Royal Highness has an order that anyone who takes Xiao Zhuo's head will be enshrined as Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and will be inherited from generation to generation."

Xiao Beiheng is really different from ordinary people.Before he had a duel with Xiao Zhuo, he could kill her and Xiao Zhuo on the spot, but he gave them a horse to send them on the road.Later, when he attended his banquet, he and Xiao Zhuo chatted happily.If it wasn't for Lin Kui's incident, she even felt that the two had reconciled.

Now he suddenly changed his face and insisted on killing Xiao Zhuo.They all ran for hundreds of miles, but the pursuers still refused to let them go, with an attitude of killing them all.

He intends to continue running, but the horses under his seat are obviously too much to bear.But if you stop, you will die.

Seeing that the speed of the horses on his side was getting slower and slower, and the pursuers were getting closer, Qiang Lin drew his sword from the scabbard:

"Master, take King Zhao and escape quickly, let's stop the pursuers."

Shen Yuexi knew that the number of pursuers far exceeded that of the hidden guards, and shouted: "No, you will be killed."

"Master, our horses are already exhausted from running continuously," Qiang Lin said, "If we don't make a decision, we will all die here."

He didn't say much anymore, turned his horse's head, and shouted to the surrounding guards:

"The gods are waiting for us to return to his arms, brothers, kill."

All the hidden guards drew their swords one after another, followed Qiang Lin to meet the pursuers, no one hesitated.

Shen Yuexi's heart throbbed, and Qiang Lin's actions were life-or-death.

There is no time to waste, this is the escape opportunity that Qiang Lin and others fought for her and Xiao Zhuo with their lives.She grabbed the reins of Xiao Zhuo's mount, gave a shout, and led Xiao Zhuo to gallop towards the barren plain.

A flash of lightning tore through the pitch-black sky, and raindrops the size of soybeans slammed down.

She didn't look back, she didn't dare to look.

The darkness around her was getting deeper and deeper, without the guidance of Qiang Lin, she couldn't tell the direction, and she didn't know where the road in front of her led, so she could only let the war horse lead her.The horse's hooves were deep in the muddy water, and she trudged hard. Her stomach was unbearably hungry, and the cold rain hit her face. It was not known whether it was tears or rain that flowed down her cheeks.

The two war horses stumbled one after the other, throwing her and Xiao Zhuo off their horses.

Shen Yuexi rolled twice in the mud, got up with difficulty with her hands in the puddle, and shouted: "Husband, husband?"

Xiao Zhuo sat silently not far away, not responding to her call.

She staggered and rushed to Xiao Zhuo, when another flash of lightning flashed.It made her see Xiao Zhuo's expression.

That was when she and him met for the first time, and he was sitting there exactly as he is now, burning with grief, hatred, and unwillingness all over his body.

Now, he was still sitting like that, but the fire inside him was extinguished.

Shen Yuexi shivered, wiped the rainwater off her face, and first reached out to touch the fallen horse.

The two horses were motionless, dead from exhaustion.

She wanted to take off the weapons and bows and arrows from the horse, but then she thought about it, she couldn't take so many things at all.

"Husband, get up," she turned around and took Xiao Zhuo's cold hand, "We can't wait here, we will freeze to death."

It was raining heavily, and she didn't feel anything at first, but now she began to shiver.She knew that she had started to lose temperature, and if she was exposed to the rain again, she and Xiao Zhuo would freeze to death.

She didn't want to die, she wanted both of them to live a good life.

However, Xiao Zhuo's body was extremely heavy, and she couldn't pull it up no matter what.She knelt down, stretched her head under Xiao Zhuo's left arm, grabbed Xiao Zhuo's wrist with her left hand, straightened her legs trembling, and tried to help Xiao Zhuo up, but failed.

"Big Bear, save us quickly." Shen Yuexi shouted in her heart, "Hurry up and make a room for... us."

If she gets caught in the rain again, she won't be able to hold on anymore.

Big Bear's cheerful voice sounded: "Dear Master, Big Bear has detected that there are many houses nearby. Does the Master insist on building?"

"What?" Shen Yuexi wiped her face again and looked up.

Through the torrential rain curtain, she could see the entrance of Wusheng Town.
