This queen is not too curly

Chapter 156
After all, it is the emperor's order.

Ji Fei could only obey Chen Lingshen, and took Yan Yuan into the snowfield forest with him.

Without horses, they could only walk, and the dry food and water they could bring were limited. Fortunately, after crossing the mountain, there was endless white snow, and they could hunt some small prey along the way.

They walked like this to the depths of the mountains for two days.

The pursuers finally arrived.

It was a group of men in pitch-black armor. They rode horses and held spears in their hands, sweeping and killing them all the way, even bushes where they passed.

"How to do?"

Yan Yuan asked out of breath.

Although they found refuge temporarily, it was not a long-term solution after all.

Walking is no match for riding a horse, and if you continue to run, you will gradually exhaust your energy, and then you will be truly slaughtered.

Ji Fei's face was gloomy, and his fingertips rubbed the scabbard over and over again.

He thought for a moment and said, "You should have a good rest first, and prepare your luggage."

Yan Yuan asked: "And then?"

Ji Fei said coldly, "Let's go say hello to them tonight."

Yan Yuan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay!"

She has indeed held back for a long time.

It's been a long time!
Anyway, short-term combat is a matter of time. Instead of being chased and chased like rabbits, it is better to do them while you still have the strength!
Yan Yuan immediately started packing her luggage.

Without hesitation, she pulled out the hairpins, earrings and jewelry all over her head, untied her bun, and tore a small strip of cloth from the skirt to tie her hair up.Then she squatted on the ground and began to tear the hem of the skirt above her knees, and the torn strips were used to tie the wide sleeves.

Yan Yuan did this set of movements smoothly.

Chen Ling stared at him blankly, watching her gradually transform from a queen to a young general Ning Bai.

And he wasn't thrilled about it.

Yan Yuan was still working hard to tie the sleeves, she bit the cloth strip with her teeth, and pulled the cloth strip with the other hand, struggling to wrap it around her wrist.

Suddenly a thin hand descended from the sky and took the cloth strip in her hand.

Yan Yuan raised her head in astonishment, and the first thing she saw was Chen Ling's thick eyelashes.

Yan Yuan: "..."

With his head down, Chen Ling slowly tied up her sleeves.

Yan Yuan looked at his quiet eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "My body is much better now, it doesn't matter if I overdraw my physical strength once in a while."

Chen Ling was noncommittal, but just gave a soft "hmm".

Yan Yuan didn't know what to say anymore.

After much deliberation, she finally managed to say, "Hide well, don't come out."

This time Chen Lingshen didn't even say "um".

He lowered his eyebrows, his thin fingertips opened the last knot for Yan Yuan, and his depressive breath slowly fell on Yan Yuan's wrist.

……

In the middle of the night, Yan Yuan and Ji Fei left quietly under the moonlight.

Yan Yuan didn't say goodbye to Chen Lingshen. The memory of the last time she said goodbye was very bad. Now she feels that saying goodbye is bad luck, so she might as well go straight away.

They followed the assassins in the opposite direction, and based on experience, they touched the rear of the pursuers, and they found that they had already camped in the forest.

It's just a small team that's being tracked.

Not many people, a total of ten people.

Most of them had already gone to bed, and only two were left to keep watch outside.

Yan Yuan and Ji Fei exchanged gestures, and the two split up to outflank, Yan Yuan was responsible for attracting the attention of the assassin, the two vigilantes heard the noise and went forward to check, Ji Fei touched behind them, and cut their throats with a sword .

neat!

Yan Yuan held her breath and praised in her heart.

They then went to the first tent, one of them covered the assassin's mouth and nose, and the other stabbed him. This went on and on several times, but in the end they were out of luck and bumped into the assassin who happened to wake up at night.

"alert!"

"Someone trespassed!"

The man's shrill voice rang through the camp.

They were all well-trained assassins, and they captured Yan Yuan and Ji Fei in an instant.

The next moment, the fireworks that sent the letter exploded in the sky.

Yan Yuan's heart suddenly felt chilly: "Ji Fei..."

Ji Fei said lightly: "Break out."

The signal has been sent, and their reinforcements will arrive soon. At this time, they will not be able to leave without breaking through.

Yan Yuan had no choice but to fight hand to hand with them. She was good at riding and archery, but not good at melee combat, so she was soon at a disadvantage. Fortunately, with Ji Fei's help, they cooperated with each other and managed to escape back to the previous refuge.

Ji Fei's left arm was shot by an arrow, and the dark red blood soaked the entire sleeve.

Chen Ling stepped forward to support him.

Yan Yuan cut open his clothes with a knife, and saw that the shape of leaf veins gradually formed around his wound.

Yan Yuan's heart turned cold: "...it's the Kuiyu camp."

The shadow of death fell again.

Yan Yuan was a little breathless, her fingertips turned white.

She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."

Ji Fei said: "They haven't found this place yet, it's too risky for us to travel late at night."

Yan Yuan insisted: "Let's go now."

No one knows better than her how difficult Kui Yuying is.

The most frightening thing about the Kuiyu Camp is not its strong fighting power, but that when they search for their prey, they search in a carpet style. Their speed is not fast, but there is no dead angle that can escape their hunt.

The only way to crack it is to move forward.

Keep going.

Just don't die.

Just continue to go deep into the forest.

Ji Fei still hesitated.

Chen Ling packed his bags silently and walked to Yan Yuan's side.

"it is good."

He said softly.

……

Ji Fei finally compromised.

They started walking deeper into the forest.

In the dark night, the sound of horseshoes and flames surrounded them like a nightmare, gradually getting closer.

At this time, it was not appropriate to run away. They hid in the bushes, held their breath, and waited for the final desperate fight.

Just at the very moment, a loud whistle suddenly sounded in the distance.

"over there!"

"Line up!"

The cavalry of the Kuiyu camp temporarily changed direction, and galloped aggressively towards the direction of the whistle.

Yan Yuan suddenly slumped to the ground, her body was already wet with sweat, panting for breath, while looking up at the direction of the whistle.

There is actually a third wave of people in this forest?

Who could it be?

Enemy or friend?
There was chaos in her mind.

The first thing I did when I came back to my senses was to turn over the tree and look at the distant fire from the tree.

In the forest in the distance, the sound of horseshoes was chaotic, and the flames flocked in one direction from all directions, and then scattered in all directions. The pace of the entire Kuiyu camp seemed chaotic and unprecedented.

But some people used whistles to provoke them.

The man was obviously very familiar with the terrain in this area, and he took them around, walking them like walking a dog.

Yan Yuan: "..."

……

Now that someone held back the Kuiyu camp, Yan Yuan continued to take Chen Lingchen and Ji Fei to the depths of the mountain, and finally found a cave where he could hide before dawn.

Yan Yuan led Chen Ling into the cave and lit the bonfire again.

Then she asked Chen Lingshen: "The one who led away the pursuers before... was it yours?"

It was a mess just now, and she didn't have time to think about it. Now her thoughts have cleared up along the way, and she naturally discovered many abnormalities.

For example, why did Chen Lingchen go out of the imperial city alone, without a half guard?
For example, even Chu Jingyu rebelled, what important tasks do his gray cavalry and personal guards have to do?
For example, where did he get the confidence to survive in the snow field?

……

Yan Yuan stared at Chen Ling's face, trying to get an answer from his face.

Chen Ling blinked heavily, but remained silent.

That is the default.

Yan Yuan was furious: "Since they are following us, why didn't we let them out earlier?!"

Since those people can walk Kuiyuying like a dog in the dark night, their skills must be far superior to Kuiyuying. If they had appeared earlier, wouldn't they have escaped all the way?Does it mean that the convoy of the mission does not have to be slaughtered?

Chen Lingchen just lowered his head and said, "I can't do it."

Yan Yuan was startled: "What do you mean you can't do it?"

Chen Ling said slowly: "If you can't do it, it means you can't do it."

Yan Yuan panicked: "You——!"

The scene was deadlocked.

Ji Fei's eyes wandered between Chen Lingchen and Yan Yuan a few times, and he got up and said, "I'll go outside to check the cover."

Only Yan Yuan and Chen Lingchen were left in the cave.

At that time, the light of the bonfire reflected Chen Ling's face.

Yan Yuan suddenly had the illusion of going back in time, the same person, the same scene, the same anger, the same desire to rush up and beat him up.

The eyes of the young man in the past were full of sarcasm and provocation, but today's Chen Ling lowered his head docilely under her gaze.

He explained in a low voice: "They originally had their own mission, and they went into the snowfield to look for it after they had completed it."

Yan Yuan asked, "What if it's too late?"

Since you didn't follow from the beginning, how can you ensure that there will be no mistakes?
Chen Ling said softly, "Admit defeat."

Today's game of chess is a desperate gamble. He is sure that Chu Jingyu will take the risk, that Kui Yuying will snipe again, and that he will fall into the snowfield dilemma again.

But he was not exhaustive. Luo Ziqiu took the gray cavalry to the southwest, and the guards stayed in the imperial city to preserve their strength. The only people who stayed in the imperial capital had to break through the many barriers in the imperial capital to catch up with the convoy...

The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether they could arrive before the Kuiyuying operation.

If you can't make it...

Chen Ling raised his head and looked into Yan Yuan's eyes, watching her quietly.

Then he will probably die in the snowy field with her.

He doesn't regret it.

Yan Yuan's eyes turned red with anger: "Are you crazy? Are you looking for your own death?"

In the situation just now, if the whistler hadn't stopped him, his life would be in danger now!
What is he thinking, a majestic monarch? !

Chen Ling said in a low voice, "I'm not looking for my own death."

He leaned forward and hugged Yan Yuan tenderly: "I don't want to die anymore."

His forehead rested on Yan Yuan's shoulder, and his voice was low: "I just want to live with you longer, it's for survival, not for death."

Yan Yuan stood stiffly on the spot.

The anger in her chest has not dissipated, but was quickly replaced by an indescribable soreness.

She didn't know who this feeling was for.

for myself.

Or for Chen Lingshen.

Or because of those who have long since died.

Yan Yuan couldn't remember exactly when the kiss lasted.

Obviously she was still out of breath the moment before, but she was wrapped in Chen Ling's arms the next moment, passively bearing everything he gave.

From body to heart is a sticky entanglement.

Forget it.

Yan Yuan closed her eyes and thought in frustration.

This is the end of the matter, the worst...

It's just a long night buried in this snowy field.

……

But the sun will rise eventually.

Yan Yuan was the first to wake up and walked to the entrance of the cave alone.

The chaos of last night had subsided, the sun was rising outside, and the orange-red light fell on the front of the cave, and the mountains and fields in the distance were all covered with white snow.

Although the scenery is beautiful, it can't resist the hunger.

Of the two people in the cave, one knew no martial arts and the other was injured, so the task of foraging naturally fell on her.

Yan Yuan carried a bow and arrow on her back alone, and slowly searched along the forest bushes.

She wanted to find some birds or rabbits, but unfortunately she went out for a long time but still found nothing. Just when she was about to return empty-handed, there was a sudden loud sound of horseshoes in front of her.

Oops!

Yan Yuan never imagined that the gray cavalry hadn't lured all the assassins away after one night.

She hastily ducked into the bushes and waited breathlessly through the layers of leaves.

Sure enough, a moment later, someone rode close to where she was. Those people lingered around her for a long time, and they were about to find her location——

Suddenly, the whistle sounded again.

"Chase!"

The assassins turned their horses.

The horseshoes ran towards the distance on the flying snow.

Yan Yuan didn't dare to walk out of the bush easily, and hibernated in place for a while, before finally exhaling lightly.

Just as she was about to get up, a spear pierced through the bushes, almost piercing her forehead.

"come out."

A lazy voice sounded from the other side of the bush.
