late night song

Chapter 209 Who is the target of the shadow?
"Fire arrows!"

Regardless of his own life or death, or perhaps he was betting that the woman in front of him would not have the heart to touch him, Qi Jian ordered three archers to ambush on the archery tower, behind the female wall of the main city wall, and on the parallel outermost wall. They all fired at Ling Buhuo.

However, his subordinates saw that he was under the control of others, and no one dared to act rashly when the first order was issued. Qi Jie stared angrily and insisted on issuing the second death order.

Gu Yuchu saw that there was no way to turn around, so he quickly took two steps back, raised his heel back to lift the sword that fell on the ground, Ling Buhuo quickly caught it, and then she quickly ran towards him, guarding each other back to back.

At almost the same time, more than a dozen burning straw balls were thrown onto the watch tower and around the opening frame. As they burned, white smoke filled the air, blurring the shooting line of sight.

The crossbowmen on the outer city wall and the main city wall were also shot by cold arrows in the dark night and fell to the ground in an instant. Then more than 50 masters in white night uniforms leaped out from outside the city wall and killed them.

"Yellow phosphorus!" Xiao Yuan shouted, "Poisonous! Protect the Holy Driver!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuchu and Ling Buhuo quickly withdrew towards the main city wall, but at this time Qi Jian led a group of masters and quickly rushed out of the smoke, and they fell into siege and melee again.

This time, Qi Ji did not go into battle in person. He stood not far away, holding a bow and arrow, and aimed at Ling Buhuo.The first two arrows were either blocked or dodged by the target, but the third arrow suddenly aimed at Gu Yuchu at the moment it was launched.

Ling Buhuo had just broken through the siege of four people. He was so surprised that he had no time to react, so he instinctively hugged her from behind. The arrow penetrated from his left shoulder, and blood rushed out, blooming on his white shirt.

Gu Yuchu felt the heavy pressure behind her that she had tried to control and the warmth on her nape. Her mind suddenly went blank. She mechanically swung the sword and pierced the body that was attacking her in front of her.

Another attack came from the right side. Ling Buhuo endured the huge pain, staggered upright, guarded Gu Yuchu, and slashed three people in a row with his sword.

When the threat around her was temporarily eliminated, she subconsciously touched her neck. It was all a ferocious red color. Her heart sank. She turned around and saw Qi frame with his bow ready to go.

She jumped up like crazy and opened her arms to protect Ling Buhuo, like a red rose blooming with anger.

In this way, Qi Jianhuo was forced to fire the last arrow that decided life and death.

The arrow whizzed past her. Although it missed, it was more painful than hitting her chest.

The walkway of the city wall, which was not wide to begin with, was already filled with corpses, and the snow was dyed red, but there were still soldiers trying to rush up. It was supposed to be an overnight success, but at this moment, Qi Jian suddenly raised his hand to stop this approaching attack. Boiling to the extreme, killing.

"If you are willing to come back, I can agree to let him go!" He finally relented and gave the woman an ultimatum.

"Come on, leave me alone!" Ling Buhuo said weakly in her ear. The power of that arrow could not be clearer.

She struggled to support Ling Buhuo's body and stood there without responding to anyone.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and even at night, her red dress was bright and dazzling.Snowflakes floated on her eyelashes, captivated her eyes and melted in her heart, but she resisted crying and just looked at the man she had loved deeply.

Qi Jian thought things were about to turn around, but she resolutely raised her hand to pull out the ice blue water hairpin on her head and threw it in his direction.

With a clang, the hairpin was broken into two halves, and the name she had embroidered in her heart for many years was torn and dripping with blood. From now on, all the kindness, love and hatred between her and him were really wiped out.

"Die together!"

Gu Yuchu's eyes were warm, and she lowered her hand to clasp the fingers of the man leaning behind her. This choice couldn't be clearer. The fog in Ling Buhuo's eyes suddenly dissipated, and he turned his head to look at her stubborn profile, unconsciously Laughed.

Qi Jian was stunned for a long time, and the generals around him did not dare to act rashly. After he came to his senses, he only said three words with red eyes: "Kill without mercy!"

It was just a last-ditch battle. Ling Chu and the two men held swords and simultaneously used the Xuanhuang Glimpse Sword Trinity, which was so powerful that it was shocking.At this moment, the master in white cleared the way back and rushed out to protect the two of them, covering their retreat.

Groups of soldiers came up one after another. They were outnumbered and it was really not suitable to fight, so it was better to retreat quickly.

They all retreated to the connection between the main city wall and the outermost city wall. At this time, Jin Yutang was also running in the opposite direction around the city wall ring road, pursued by his pursuers.

Ling Buhuo's vitality was seriously injured, Gu Yuchu picked up the crossbow that fell to the ground, fired the bow left and right, and killed everyone in all directions.

"Your uncle, you didn't use the help earlier!" Jin Yutang saw Ling Buhuo and cursed loudly.

"I asked you to take her away, why did you suddenly come back?!"

Although he was weak, he didn't have a good temper. He raised his crossbow as if he was going to harm Jin Yutang, but in an instant, the bow and arrow passed by him and hit the enemy who was sneaking up behind him.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!"

Gu Yuchu held Ling Buhuo up, followed by Jin Yutang, who quickly climbed down the city wall using the rope and left the city.After they relaxed their horses and fled away, the master in white no longer wanted to fight. He also walked down the city wall and followed them on horseback.

The city wall suddenly became quiet. Qi Jian walked in step by step, picked up the two-piece hairpin and held it in his hand.He had to admit that this time he really lost, and this cold winter would last forever for him. He silently nodded to Xiao Yuan, turned around and walked into the wind and snow.

Xiao Yuan took the order, and the handsome soldiers followed closely.

Gu Yuchu and the others ran wildly, and the wind and snow hit their faces like knives. The pain was severe, but even so, it was a blessing in misfortune.

In fact, the purpose of Qi Jian trapping her in the arrow tower was to lure Ling Buhuo into the Wengcheng, the innermost part of Tong City, and cut off his escape route out of the city. In this way, even if he could escape by chance, he would still fall into the city and be unable to escape the trap. .

But who would have expected that Ling Buhuo fell into the trap just to make a comeback, and Jin Yutang, who broke out halfway, secretly infiltrated Chen Cang and rescued the person first.

But now even if they are not trapped in the city, the situation will not be much better.The vast area outside the city is sparsely populated, which is most suitable for cavalry siege. If they want to quickly enter Beiling's sphere of influence, the only way is Lingshui Ferry.

In the cold winter, the Lingshui is frozen and can be crossed on horseback, so as long as he enters the border of Hehe, Dongqi can't give up even if he wants to do it again.

Although Qi Ji had murderous intentions against Ling Buhuo, under the overall situation, he would not risk the disobedience of the world and lead troops to cross the red line of the national border. Otherwise, he would take the initiative to tear up the alliance and provoke a war between the two countries.

However, the nearest Lingshui ferry was thirty miles away. Even though they were hurrying up, it still took them half an hour. Ling Buhuo was seriously injured at the moment. He was bleeding under the bumps. Coupled with the mighty cavalry chasing him behind him, the situation was unbearable. optimism.

They turned around and fled into the forest. Although they had some cover, Ling Buhuo's wound was scratched by a branch, and he lost his center of gravity and fell off his horse.

Gu Yuchu tightened the reins, stopped immediately, jumped off the horse, and held him in his arms.

"How are you?" she asked anxiously, crying anxiously.

"It's okay." He said weakly, blood oozing out from the wound on his shoulder, "I have medicine in my arms."

Gu Yuchu quickly took out the medicine bottle from his arms, fed him two pills, then tore off her clothes to bandage his wounds. Someone was approaching slowly not far away. She picked up the crossbow smartly and said softly, "Daughter-in-law" ', to put her mind at ease.

"Who is your wife?!" Ling Buhuo, who had been reluctant to say anything to preserve his strength, immediately cursed with sideways eyes.

"I want you to take care of it!" Jin Yutang pushed back.

"Stop making trouble!" Gu Yuchu dismissed the two of them disgustedly. They were still in the mood to argue.

At this time, the masters in white clothes also arrived one after another, but the horses and hooves of the army behind them were chaotic, and they were probably not far away.

"I'll lead them away!"

In desperation, before Gu Yuchu could react, Jin Yutang immediately mounted his horse and rode another way, shouting to Yuchi Yuchu, which immediately attracted the white-clothed masters to follow him and diverted the attention of the pursuing army.

Gu Yuchu and the others were safe for the time being, but it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Ling Buhuo used the silver needle he carried to seal his blood veins to stop the bleeding, and then rode with Gu Yuchu towards Lingshui.

When Dong Qi's pursuers followed Jin Yutang and almost arrived at the Lingshui River, they dispersed after discovering that he was not Ling Buhuo.

"A bunch of snobs, isn't my life worth anything?"

Jin Yutang cursed, and then Zhang Ma stepped onto the Lingshui Glacier.

The Lingshui is vast, the sky is ice and snow, and there is no end as far as the eye can see. A hundred feet away, Gu Yuchu is walking slightly faster than him and has already walked less than half of the way.

Ling Buhuo rode with her. He arched his back, rested his head on her shoulder, and held her waist tightly with one hand. Gu Yuchu clasped his arm with one hand, and galloped towards the other side on his horse.

Although the ice in Lingshui was thick, it could not withstand hundreds of fast horses galloping at the same time. Xiao Yuan ordered two teams, each with ten people, to go onto the ice and pursue them separately. If they still failed to succeed before reaching the other side, they would withdraw their troops and give up.

Jin Yutang was about to be surrounded by three pursuers behind him. Although he turned his horse quickly and got rid of two of them, he was still accidentally stabbed in the waist and abdomen by a spear from behind. If it hadn't been for Gu Yuchu fired his crossbow from a long distance and hit the attacker. He would definitely be killed on the spot.

Jin Yutang injured his kidney, the pain came over him, and he fell off the horse not long after.

The pursuers behind Gu Yuchu were also chasing after him. At the critical moment, several uninvited guests wearing white clothes, wearing ice skates and holding scimitars galloped out from the ice. They were as fast as horses. Anyone who approached them would be killed in an instant. In the meantime, the horse's legs were cut off, and the man on the horse fell off and was chopped to death.

Gu Yuchu looked back for a long time before he saw clearly that it was the same group of people who were rescuing on the city wall.

Without much effort, the two men in white relieved Jin Yutang's siege, hooked his arms, and rushed towards the other side.
