Yijuan cloud

Chapter 70
Before I finished speaking, Fan Li grabbed my wrist again. He pulled me hard and almost lifted me up.

His big hands gripped me painfully, but the anger in his eyes scared me even more.

He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Lin Juanyun, you said that you would not be a concubine in this life, why did you agree to it?"

As he spoke, he stopped as if exhausted, lowered his voice, and said, "You..." He stopped again, not knowing what to say.

I was pulled to his side, very close to him. The smell of blood and sweat on his body was so strong that I couldn't breathe.

Only then did I see that his armor was covered in mottled and darkened bloodstains, as if countless souls were attached to him.

I wanted to stay away from him right away, and I was annoyed when he mentioned the past about me not being his concubine. I said angrily in a panic: "I will be with whoever I like to be with. Whoever I like in my heart doesn't matter if he is a prince." He's still a slave, I don't want anything from him, I just want to be with him! What does it have to do with you?"

The anger in Fan Li's eyes gradually calmed down and became calm. He let go of me and said, "You want to be his concubine?"

I lowered my eyes, turned around and stopped looking at him. I looked at the rolling grassland quietly, feeling confused and at a loss.

I don't want to be a concubine, not to mention that the people in Prince Yi's palace are Xu and Cao Yingshan. I really can't imagine competing with them for favor.

But I also like Prince Yi very much. His voice and smile appear in my mind all the time, especially when I left the Tumote Department. I looked back and saw the felt bags getting farther and farther away, and my heart felt like someone was tugging at me. Uncomfortable.

The wind suddenly picked up.A strong wind in early autumn blew my wild hair and whipped my face.

The future is too far away for me to even imagine.

I turned around and looked directly at Fan Li's tired face and said, "Brother Fan, I just want to rescue him as soon as possible. As long as he remains in the Mongolian tribe, I will worry about him all the time. As for the future, I will I haven’t thought about it yet.”

I looked at him expectantly and said, "Don't you also want to save Prince Yi? The Tumut tribe is so arrogant and openly provocative. You can't swallow this, right?"

Fan Li stared at me for a while, lowered his eyes and nodded.

He said: "I will never let the Mongols hold King Yi hostage for one day in the north. This is just a temporary garrison and there is no food and grass. What's more, the lair of the Tumote tribe is exposed. If you want to get there, you will be in the bag." To get things, that’s why I have to return to Yehuling. You have also been frightened these days. I will send someone to take you back to the palace first, and then wait for good news."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the camp.

Listening to the implications of his words, it was not difficult to rescue Prince Yi. I also gained confidence. The heavy stone in my heart was lifted a lot, and I walked quickly behind him.

So, naturally, I remembered the battle last night and asked him how the casualties were.

He walked very fast, and his voice seemed to be carried by the wind: "We lost some soldiers."

I secretly sighed that this was indeed the case, so I trotted to him and said, "It must be very hard, right? I heard that you only brought a hundred or ten people with you. Did you lead Zalik's people all the way here like this?"

"Why do you, a girl, worry about all this? War is a matter for men, so just leave it alone."

He finished speaking coldly and continued to stride forward.

I slowed down my steps and walked forward silently.When I arrived at the camp, there was already a young general waiting for me holding a horse and said: "The general asked the general to take the girl back to the palace."

"Now?" I was a little surprised.

"Yes, please invite me, girl. The army is about to break camp. Send the girl back. The general will have to rush back to Yehuling."

The young general led a few soldiers to send me back to the city.

At first, he helped me pull the reins. I sat on the horse and let the horse carry me. Then I asked the young general: "How many comrades did you lose yesterday?"

The horse bounced, and he said after a while:

"Last night, the general didn't go with him. It was the general who led a small group of elite soldiers as the vanguard. 82 people went. When he came back, only the general and two adjutants were left. He thought he could rescue King Yi, but King Yi himself If you don’t come back, call someone..."

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that he was talking to me, and fell silent again.

When I was about to enter the city, I saw a carriage parked there in the distance. When I got closer, I saw it was Zhong Ming.

When Zhong Ming saw that I was the only one back, he frowned slightly, and then bowed to the young general with his usual expression.

After the young general led the people away, Zhong Ming hurriedly asked me: "Where is the prince? Why are you the only one back?"

Fan Li wanted to rescue Prince Yi, so Zhong Ming should have known about it in advance. He must have been waiting here.

I had no choice but to tell Anta Khan his decision to exchange hostages. I said regretfully: "The prince said that Anta Khan was concerned about his identity and wanted me to come back first. I didn't have time to think about it so much. Now I regret it to death." , where can the prince stay there?"

I do regret it. If I had known that coming back alone would be such a torment, I might as well have stayed in the Tumut Department.

Zhong Ming thought to himself: "Don't think so. If you can come back one by one, the prince values ​​friendship. Since he can only exchange for one person, he must ask you to come back. This is really his style, and it is not the case now. When you're anxious, I'll ask the coachman to take you back home first, and I'll go find General Fan to find out the situation. Don't worry too much, just go back and have a good rest."

After he finished speaking, he followed the two guards and rode away.

I sat in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the grassland in the distance. I could already see the city gate. I became more and more panicked. I stuck my head out and shouted to the coachman: "Stop!"

Before the coachman stopped, I jumped out of the car, walked over and took the reins of a horse from his hand, and said to him: "Help me get on the horse!"

The coachman asked nervously: "What is the girl going to do?"

"You help me get on the horse first!" I said urgently.

"No, no..." The coachman's voice was in his mouth, a sword passed through his chest, and he fell softly to the ground.

Xing'er's face was exposed when he fell.
