Chapter 73

Shen Yuexi didn't expect to meet Xirong people in this mountain.

The close encounter between the two sides shocked her a lot, she pulled Yang Cong up and ran away.

Once someone was chasing after her, she found that her feet didn't hurt anymore, and her legs didn't feel sore anymore.If you participate in the [-]-meter race, you can definitely enter the finals with this speed.

Yang Cong was beside her, shouting as he ran, "Miss Pei, they are catching up!"

Shen Yuexi looked back and saw the two Xirong people chasing after him.

But the two of them had nothing in their hands, neither a sword nor a crossbow.It should be that Big Bear collected all the swords on their bodies as raw materials.

This was really an accident, who knew that there were actually two people hiding behind the boulder.

These two people seem to often climb mountains and ridges, obviously running faster than themselves and Yang Cong.If this continues, it will be caught up sooner or later.

In a hurry, Yang Cong stopped suddenly.

Shen Yuexi almost bumped into her, looked up and looked forward.

Behind the rocks, in the pit, and behind the trees in front, several Xirong soldiers suddenly flashed out like a magic trick, all holding strong bows, and aimed at them with their bows and arrows.

Shen Yuexi has seen the power of bows and arrows since she just crossed over and stayed in the ruined temple.The sound of this thing had already been etched into her mind.

"Get down!"

She pressed Yang Cong's neck, and immediately pushed Yang Cong to the ground, and threw herself to the ground.

There was the whizzing sound of feather arrows piercing the air above their heads, but the target was not the two of them, but the two Xi Rong soldiers who were chasing them.The two Xirong sergeants were hit by several arrows and fell down on the spot.

Xirong internal strife?

Even if it is internal strife, these Xirong people still want to arrest the two of them and go back.

Still in a daze, a white and powerful hand stretched out in front of her.Xiao Zhuo's voice came from above: "The lady is shocked."

Hearing this all-too-familiar gentle voice, Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up and punched Xiao Zhuo in the chest.

Show up early.

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, and stretched out his arms to hug her.

Yang Cong also stood up in a daze, touched the back of his head and looked at the several Xirong soldiers behind Xiao Zhuo, and suddenly shouted:
"Mr. Pei, you... have you joined Xirong?"

Shen Yuexi rolled her eyes.This girl is really slow to react, and she still hasn't figured it out yet.

Several Xirong soldiers behind Xiao Zhuo surrounded them, one of them was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a bronze face, first ordered his men to go and check the two Xirong people, and then stepped forward to Shen Yuexi and said:
"Humble job Qiu Liming, the guards are not enough, and the master is shocked."

Shen Yuexi was a little embarrassed, and quickly broke free from Xiao Zhuo's arms.He nodded to the man and said, "General Qiu doesn't need to blame himself."

These people were obviously the subordinates that Xiao Zhuo had mentioned to her, but why did they appear here, and they were wearing Xirong military uniforms.

"Husband, what's going on?" She looked at Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, and said: "Xi Rong and I thought about going together, it seems that they are ready to make a move, fortunately my subordinates have arrived."

Last night Xiao Zhuo's subordinates had already arrived at Xiaogang Village, there were about a hundred soldiers, headed by General Qiu Liming.Stationed in the mountain east of the village.

These sergeants were all wounded by Xiao Zhuo during the battle with Beidi, Xiao Zhuo ordered them to recuperate in the rear.As a result, before returning to the team, he learned the news that the prince was deposed.Everyone admired Xiao Zhuo, but they were all resentful but had nothing to do.And the new commander-in-chief of the army directly ordered these wounded soldiers to retire in order to eliminate the power of the prince in the army.

These sergeants were wounded fighting for their country, only to be kicked out at the end.Not even the slightest salary.The imperial court also knew that this move was unpopular, so it dispersed thousands of retired soldiers to various state capitals, so that they could not gather.

At this time, Qiu Liming learned that the exile team where the prince was in Shengzhou was attacked, and the life and death of the prince were uncertain.He went directly to Shengzhou to look for Xiao Zhuo. Along the way, he tried every means to gather his old subordinates, and gathered more than a hundred of them, all of whom were loyal soldiers who were willing to go through life and death for the prince.

Then he received a message from Xiao Zhuo, ordering him to gather people and go to Xiaogang Village outside the border to meet up.

The first thing he did here, Xiao Zhuo ordered him to form this team, put on the clothes of the dead Xirong people, and go to Xirong to scout the enemy's movements.

There is also an additional task: secretly protect Shen Yuexi.After Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong returned to the village, they crossed the mountains again and continued to scout the Xirong people.

Qiu Liming was afraid that Shen Yuexi would find out, so he moved a little further away.Unexpectedly, two Xirong people suddenly appeared, scaring him into a cold sweat.

If something happened, he would have to kill himself and apologize before serving the prince.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo who arrived on horseback did not show any intention of blaming him. In order to avoid embarrassment, he took the initiative to say: "Commander, these two should be Xirong's scouts. It seems that Xirong has the intention to attack here."

Although Xiao Zhuo was abolished, he still did not change his previous tone.

"That's right," Xiao Zhuo led a horse and said to Qiu Liming, "You are new to this place, and you are not familiar with the terrain here. You can ask Yang Cong to be your guide and go find out."

Yang Cong has already realized that the Mr. Pei in front of him is actually a commander in chief, and these people are all his former subordinates.She has always hated Xirong deeply, and now she can act as a guide to scout Xirong, and she can't help being overjoyed.

With real sergeants, Xiaogang Village does not have to worry about Xi Rong's provocation.

"General Qiu, I am familiar with this place, so let me lead the way!" Yang Cong took the lead and walked north.

Xiao Zhuo nodded to Yang Cong, turned around and led a horse, that horse was tall and strong, it was a war horse from Xi Rong.

These Xirong military uniforms and war horses were all captured before.

Xiao Zhuo jumped up and stretched out his hand to Shen Yuexi: "Come up."

Shen Yuexi was not hypocritical, she put her hand into Xiao Zhuo's and stepped on the stirrup.Xiao Zhuo looked at the hand that was as white as jade and as soft as a bone, and pulled him on the horse with a little force.

Shen Yuexi rode the same horse with Xiao Zhuo again, and couldn't help feeling excited.

The first time the two of them rode together was when they broke down the temple and fled.Now her back is tightly pressed against Xiao Zhuo's chest, and the faint breath from Xiao Zhuo's body is entangled in her nose.Make her intoxicated.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived in Xiaogang Village.

A group of women were drawing water by the well, when they saw Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi, they immediately greeted each other with smiles.

"Ouch, Mr. Pei, you are back." This is a fairly serious greeting.

"When will Mrs. Pei be happy? We are all waiting." The words began to twist.

"That's right, that's right, we're all waiting for the wine."

Shen Yuexi covered her face, patted the horse's neck and said, "Go, go."

She lowered her head along the way, not daring to look at Xiao Zhuo behind her.

Although she and Xiao Zhuo are husband and wife, they are different from ordinary couples. She was forced into Xiao Zhuo by Shen Lan, the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion.

I don't know what Xiao Zhuo's attitude is.

"My lady," Xiao Zhuo glanced at the absent-minded Shen Yuexi, "Nowadays the troubled times are about to start, it's not suitable to have children, wait..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Yuexi looked back at him in surprise.

This is to tell her that he admits to this marriage?
But giving birth, she really never thought about it, she is only 16 years old, and giving birth to a child is still too dangerous for her.

"I...I know," Shen Yuexi frantically avoided Xiao Zhuo's scorching gaze, "It's not urgent."

Her perception of Xiao Zhuo was good.

But it's a bit too big a step to have a baby all of a sudden.
