Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 38
The soldiers quickly followed suit, and as soon as they squatted down, arrows rained down.

Footsteps gradually sounded all around, and the fire on the mountain col was getting closer and closer to the barracks. Chuning stood up abruptly and shouted: "Kill!"

As soon as the sound fell, the soldiers who should have died under the rain of arrows all stood up one after another. Against the background of the fire, they could vaguely see the shields they held in their hands. Fortunately, in this dark night, the enemy can't see clearly whether they are dead or alive.

Then, following Chuning's order, the two sides fought together.

Both Ye Qingyan and Chuning joined the battle group. After fighting for a while, they gasped back to back. Ye Qingyan said in a deep voice, "This is not the way to go, what about the signal flares? Call for reinforcements!"

Chuning stretched her hand into her cuff, ready to take the flare, but as soon as she stretched it in, her heart turned cold. The explosion was so chaotic, she didn't even know that the flare was lost!

"What's wrong?" Sensing Chuning's silence, Ye Qingyan asked.

"The flare is lost." Chuning said, "It looks like we have to hold on for another hour."

Fortunately, she was afraid of accidents, so she left most of the soldiers behind, otherwise she was afraid that the entire army would be wiped out.

She had already ordered her to go down, if they didn't come back when they were ugly, they must rush to meet them.

"Be careful!" Suddenly, Ye Qingyan yelled, and pulled Chuning towards him. When his figure changed, he heard a "chuck", and an arrow shot into Ye Qingyan's back.

Chu Ning quickly supported her, and looked in the direction of the arrow, and the fire gradually appeared on the mountain depression, her heart sank slightly, and she quickly shouted: "Be careful, there are arrows!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the same rain of arrows as before shot over the sky, but it was a pity that the soldiers could not squat down like before, because they were fighting bloody battles.

Chu Ning dragged Ye Qingyan to avoid the rain of arrows, and the soldiers who were too late to dodge fell down one by one, among them were Dayu and Xiling... It turned out to be another group of abandoned soldiers!
The matter has come to this point, irreparable, Chu Ning supported Ye Qingyan, and retreated along the path when he stumbled back and forth.

"Let's go! Leave me alone!" Ye Qingyan felt that blood was seeping from his back, and if it wasn't for Chuning's support, he would have fallen to the ground.

"If you don't leave, I won't leave either. Do you want the two of us to die here together?" Chuning asked with staring eyes.

Ye Qingyan pursed her lips: "But I can't go anymore, if I am with you, it will be a drag."

"Chuning is never afraid of being dragged down!" After finishing speaking, Chu Ning bent slightly, turned his back to Ye Qingyan and said, "I'll carry you, hurry up!"

Ye Qingyan was stunned for a moment, but finally fell down slowly.

This scene is so familiar, when Xie Ziyu was wounded by a sword for her, she also carried him behind her back to escape from the chase.

Ye Qingyan lay on Chuning's back, his consciousness gradually blurred, but he still forced his eyes open, looked at Chuning's side face, and said in a low voice: "Chuning, I regret it..."

I regret that I wrote the divorce letter so impulsively, and I never really got to know her.

He vaguely remembered that when he was five years old, he was taken by his grandfather to play in the General's Mansion. He broke into a courtyard and saw a girl doll carved in powder and jade sitting obediently at the door. She saw him with a pair of beautiful big eyes. There was a flash of light in Li, and she ran up to him happily, with a sweet voice: "Did daddy ask you to play with me?"

That should be the first time he saw Chuning. He loved beauties since he was a child, and he also wanted to find good-looking children when he was having fun, so when he saw the girl doll, he fell in love with her very much. He held her hand and said with a smile : "Yes, I just came to play with you."

That smile is like a kitten stealing fish.

The little Ye Qingyan took the little Chu Ning and had a great time playing in the yard until Master Ye and General Chu came to find him.

"Is this also the general's daughter?" Old Master Ye asked with surprise in his eyes when he saw Chu Ning.

"Exactly."

"It looks like a person." A faint light flashed in Ye Laohou Ye's eyes.

General Chu didn't change his expression, just smiled slightly: "Ning'er, come to see Lord Ye."

After hearing this, Chu Ning ran over quickly, looked up at Old Master Ye, his eyes flickering, "Hi, Grandpa."

After hearing this, Old Master Ye laughed heartily. He patted her head and said, "Good boy."

Old Master Ye came to take Ye Qingyan back, but Ye Qingyan obviously didn't have enough fun, hugged Chuning and didn't let go, pulling his neck and shouting: "I won't go back, I won't go back, I will be with her!"

"Bullshit!"

As soon as Old Master Ye opened his mouth, Ye Qingyan shouted even more joyously. Instead of looking at Old Master Ye, he looked at General Chu: "General, please give her to me and let me take her away, okay?"

These words frightened Chuning, he struggled quickly and said, "No, I want Daddy."

Seeing Ye Laohou, he smiled happily, looked at Ye Qingyan, and asked: "Stinky boy, do you really like her?"

Ye Qingyan nodded heavily.

"Then when she grows up, marry her and be your daughter-in-law, okay?"

Ye Qingyan didn't know why, but still nodded emphatically.

"Hahaha, General, my trip is not in vain. If that's the case, how about our two families getting married?" Old Master Ye asked with a laugh.

General Chu's complexion was a bit complicated, and after a while, he said, "It's Ning'er's luck to be able to marry into the Hou's residence."

That's how their engagement was settled.

Ye Qingyan couldn't bear to part with Chu Ning that day, so he went back to the Hou Mansion sobbing. The next day, Xie Lingran and Xie Lingshuang came to play, and he completely forgot about Chu Ning.

Children are like this, they can always find new playmates, he even forgot that he once said to Chuning: "I'll go home first, and I'll come to play with you tomorrow morning."

Many years later, when Ye Qingyan grew up and lingered in the flowers, he had long forgotten that he had agreed to the marriage contract back then, and when he remembered it again, what should have been missed had already been missed.

His eyes gradually closed, Chuning felt that he passed out, didn't say anything, just quickened his pace.

The pursuers followed closely and persevered. In fact, Chu Ning was injured long ago. When the explosion occurred, and when they were fighting, it was just too dark, so Ye Qingyan couldn't see her distressed situation.

Suddenly, there were a few figures sneaking over in front of him, Chuning's footsteps stopped abruptly, and the sternness in her eyes flashed, and the sternness in her eyes subsided when she realized that the person in front was Captain Zhang .

"Lieutenant General!" Captain Zhang hurried forward when he saw Chuning, "I haven't received the signal yet, so I don't worry, so I came to check the situation first."

"We were ambushed and the general was injured." Chuning said wearily.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him, and Chu Ning hurriedly threw Ye Qingyan to Captain Zhang: "The pursuers are coming, let's go! Be sure to save the general!"

"What about you?" Captain Zhang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'll break the queen!" Chuning said, pulling out a soft sword from his waist, and said sharply, "Let's go!"

Captain Zhang didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly turned around with the soldiers: "The deputy general is waiting for me! I'll call for reinforcements right away!"

As the pursuers approached, Chuning squinted his eyes. The one in front was Mu Lianzhi, sitting on the horse, calm and energetic.

He stopped, squinted at Chuning, and said with a smile on his lips, "I taught you everything you have learned, so don't try to win against me."

Chuning sneered, and said flatly, "The winner is the king and the loser, don't talk nonsense."

The woman covered in blood stood holding a sword, her body was straight, like a body of steel, her brows were calm, and the long sword in her hand glowed with a cold light.

She knew it was impossible to win, but she still wanted to fight alone.

The smile on the corner of Mu Lianzhi's lips faded slightly. He drew a sword from his horse and pointed it at Chuning: "Do you think you beat me or I beat you?"

"Why don't you give it a try." Chu Ning lifted his lips slightly, and attacked Mu Lianzhi with his sword.

Two sword lights flashed in the dark night, like lightning before the wind and rain. The speed made people dazzled. Chu Ning competed with Mu Lianzhi desperately, but her face turned pale, as if there was a chill coming out of her body. His hands gradually became stiff, and his body even began to tremble. Suddenly, with a clang, the sword in Chuning's hand was shaken out.She closed her eyes and fell down.

In the 25th year of Tianhe, in December, the capital of Dayu Emperor, Rongwang Mansion.

"Master! Urgent report from Huacheng!" Su Ye rushed to Xie Ziyu's room and shouted in a low voice as a figure flew past Rong Wang's mansion.

Xie Ziyu was talking with someone, and seemed to be ordering something. When she saw Su Ye rushing in, she frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

"The king, the princess...fight, die in battle..." Su Ye's face turned pale, and his forehead was coldly sweating. It was obviously a very simple piece of information, but he stuttered.

Xie Ziyu stood up abruptly, with a stern look in his eyes: "Who do you say died in battle?"

"The urgent report from General Ye said that our army was in an ambush, and the five thousand soldiers who were in the vanguard were wiped out. Master Ning Chuning cut off the rear alone, and died in Huacheng, leaving no bones left." Su Ye's face was pale and stiff. Scalp repeated the matter.

Xie Ziyu's body shook, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Master!" Su Ye yelled, and rushed forward to support him.

Xie Ziyu's complexion was pale and his eyes were deep. He pushed Ye Qingyan away and said in a deep voice, "Get ready!"

"Master, you haven't recovered from your injuries, so it's not appropriate to..."

"Go!"

Before Su Ye could finish speaking, Xie Ziyu interrupted him. He glanced at Xie Ziyu's irresistible expression, and ran out silently.

At this moment in the Xiling barracks, Mu Han walked into the main tent, looked at the unconscious man on the bed, walked up to Mu Lianzhi, and said, "Master, the ghost doctor has been found."

"Please come in." Mu Lianzhi stood up and said.

After a while, a thin man came in. The man looked over half a century old. Although he was thin, his eyes were piercing. He looked at Chu Ning who was unconscious on the bed, turned to Mu Lianzhi, and smiled slightly. , said: "I didn't expect this old man to bother the prince to think about it."

"You made the poison of rejuvenation?" Mu Lianzhi asked directly.

"Exactly."

"What about the antidote?"

The ghost doctor glanced at Mu Lianzhi, and smiled meaningfully: "Of course there is an antidote, but the poison of rejuvenation was developed by Emperor Dayu, and the prince is sure to hand over the antidote." ?”

Mu Lianzhi didn't speak, but stretched out his hand.

The ghost doctor looked at Mu Lianzhi for a while, then took out two porcelain bottles from his arms, one black and the other white. He looked at Mu Lianzhi's puzzled eyes and said with a smile: "There is only one white one, and it won't relapse after you eat it." , the black ones can be controlled for a month without recurrence."

"One month?"

"My lord is a smart person. The best way to keep someone is to make her unable to leave you." After the ghost doctor finished speaking, he laughed and walked out.

Mu Lianzhi squinted his eyes, his eyes were dark, making it impossible to see his emotions.

"General, His Royal Highness Rong is here." In Dayu's barracks, Ye Qingyan sat at the table with a haggard face, discussing countermeasures with several generals, when suddenly someone came to report.

Ye Qingyan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he was actually not surprised at all, she was the princess he was marrying, even if he agreed to her going to the battlefield, if something happened to her, he would definitely come!
Ye Qingyan got up to welcome him out of the tent, Xie Ziyu was getting off his horse, his face was extremely pale and his figure was a bit haggard.

"I heard that the Xiling Army was unable to attack for a long time, and Vice-General Ning even sacrificed for it. I am not at ease, and specially dispatched [-] soldiers and horses to be sent by General Ye." Xie Ziyu looked at Ye Qingyan and coughed twice.

"Great! With these [-] soldiers and horses, our army will surely turn defeat into victory!"

"Your Highness is so timely! We want to avenge Vice General Ning!"

"Your Highness, the [-] troops came too timely..."

All the generals were excited when they heard this.

"Please, Your Highness, I have something to ask, and I would like your Highness to give me some advice." Ye Qingyan knew that Xie Ziyu's trip was not just for the purpose of mobilizing troops for them, so he spoke in time to let the other generals avoid it temporarily.

As soon as he entered the tent, Xie Ziyu covered his chest with a pained look on his face.

Ye Qingyan stepped forward, helped him to sit down on the chair, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness's injury has not healed, and he has been running around for days, I'm afraid the injury will worsen."

Xie Ziyu clutched his chest and didn't speak.

"She... the princess is here to save me. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely flatten Xiling and avenge her!" Ye Qingyan clenched his fists, and for the first time strong hatred appeared in his clear eyes.

Xie Ziyu's eyes flickered, and he said flatly, "She's not dead."

"What?" Ye Qingyan's eyes widened suddenly, "How does Your Highness know?"

"She is my king's woman, so she won't die so easily." Xie Ziyu stood up and said, "Isn't the general going to flatten Xiling? Then let me show you. As for her whereabouts, I will come to find her." .”

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Qingyan to answer, he walked out.

When Chuning woke up, she happened to see Mu Lianzhi entering the tent with the medicine in his hand. She moved her fingers and found that both hands were limp. She couldn't help but sighed, "When will it start? Are you going to use this trick?"

Mu Lianzhi brought the medicine in front of Chuning, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "It's probably since you started thinking about running away from me."

Chu Ning's heart moved slightly: "Why did you save me? If I go back to Dayu, I won't care about your life-saving grace. On the battlefield, I will not be soft."

Mu Lianzhi helped Chuning up, took a mouthful of the medicine with a spoon, put it to her mouth, and said, "So I won't let you go back to the battlefield, Ah Ning, I want you to stay by my side."

Chu Ning was taken aback, looked at his serious expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Why do you stay? Let me lie on the bed forever? Mu Lianzhi, are you really so naive?"

Mu Lianzhi looked at her for a while, and then slowly said: "Your poison has relapsed, and the poison has become more and more fierce. Without me by your side, once you get poisoned, you will surely die."

"Do you have an antidote?"

"Take it once a month."

"Everyone is mortal, do you think I will be afraid?" Chuning smiled, there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

"Of course you're not afraid, but I think you don't want to die." Mu Lianzhi stroked Chuning's face with a hand, "Ah Ning, you haven't got the freedom you want, you won't be willing to die now ,Is it right?"

Chuning stared at Mu Lianzhi without saying a word.

That's right, she didn't want to die, but she wouldn't be willing to be bound by him like this.

"The weather is fine today, I'll take you out for a walk." Mu Lianzhi saw that Chu Ning didn't want to take medicine, and he didn't force her, so he just reached out and picked her up, and walked outside.

It was the afternoon at this time, the sky was clear, the golden sun was shining down, and it was warm and warm. Chuning blinked, feeling a little unaccustomed to the strong light.

Mu Lianzhi led Chuning to the empty school field, and he sat on the ground, letting Chuning lean in his arms, his movements were gentle and tender.

"Do you really want this world?" Chuning looked at the foothills in the distance and asked suddenly after being quiet for a long time.

"I can't think of a reason not to."

"For so many years, you went to the imperial capital, in fact, to gain this world as soon as possible, right? Presumably Beiyue and Nanlang are also under your control." Chuning said calmly.

Mu Lianzhi acquiesced, he hugged Chuning: "As long as you want, this world can be yours."

Chu Ning smiled softly: "Mu Lianzhi, I don't have that much ambition, so what if the world is in my hands? I can only drink a pot of wine and eat a bowl of rice... What's more, I only need a pair of eyes, I can see all the scenery in this world..."

"You still need someone to accompany you. What's the point of being alone in this world?"

"I have someone to accompany me." Chu Ning smiled lightly, "Mu Lianzhi, did you forget that I am married to someone else?"
