Chapter 99 Meeting in a narrow road

Chapter 9 Encounter on a Narrow Road

The knight seemed to sense her gaze, turned his head, and happened to meet Su Mi's gaze.

In an instant, both of them were shocked and lost their senses.

She unexpectedly met the most unexpected person at such an unexpected time and place.

The person who came was Ni Tingxuan!
Why is he here? !
Su Mi's heart set off a huge wave, and she was inexplicably shocked.But she supported the window with both hands, she didn't let it go, she didn't let it go, he obviously saw himself.

Ni Tingxuan's face first fell into a sluggishness that seemed to suspect that he was in a dream, and then showed an unbelievable ecstasy.That kind of joyful expression and radiance made his emotions fully exposed in front of Su Mi.

Su Mi smiled wryly in her heart, if she had known earlier, she would not have looked at that one more time.

Ni Ting stared at Su Mi intently, under the half-covered window sill, a familiar face was faintly visible, his vision blurred, as if only this half of the beautiful face was left in the whole world.

The knights around couldn't help being surprised when they saw him suddenly not moving. "Young master, young master..." a knight next to him called softly.

It took a long time for Ni Tingxuan to come back to his senses, and ignored the calls around him, and directly dismounted.

Seeing him walking towards her side, Su Mi knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she decided not to dodge it anymore.
After just over half a year, the two met again.

Ni Tingxuan stood in front of her and opened his mouth, but suddenly realized that he didn't know how to speak, he didn't even know how to address her at this moment, could it be that the etiquette of a palace concubine is still commensurate in this mountainous and rural environment? ?He faintly resisted the once-familiar address in his heart, and there was an awkward feeling flowing back and forth between the two of them out of thin air.

"My surname is Gu." Knowing what he was hesitating, Su Mi reminded.

"Miss Gu..." Ni Tingxuan's tone was a little relieved, and there was a bright and joyful light behind his still calm and gentle eyes.

He wanted to ask her a lot, but at this moment he couldn't say a word.

However, after only half a year of parting, Ni Tingxuan was sensitively aware that in this short period of time, something had undergone almost essential changes.Such a change made the two of them strange and alienated. Although they had never been close before, such an unreasonable alienation still made him feel unnatural.

Su Mi's appearance didn't seem to have changed at all. Although the beautiful pearls and emeralds were replaced by commoner hairpins, her brows were as light as smoke and her eyes were as clear as water, just like a beautiful and refined water lotus beside a clear water pool.Without those bustling and dazzling surroundings, she looks even more independent from the world, with a cold moon and clear brilliance.

How did she escape?The Liao army in the palace was vicious and vicious, and the gates of the capital were strictly controlled. She was just an ordinary woman with no martial arts at all. She had to suffer so much to escape from the hands of the Liao army!
There were countless doubts in his heart, and he turned his mind thousands of times, but he didn't know how to ask them.

Su Mi also had many doubts in her heart, but she didn't have any scruples about him. She looked up at him and asked bluntly, "Why did you come here?"

Meeting her clear eyes, he smiled calmly, as long as she escaped, to see her again, and to see her safe and intact, he already felt that it was the greatest gift from heaven.

Just as Ni Tingxuan was about to answer, there was a report from the accompanying knight outside the door, "Young Master, it's already packed."

Ni Tingxuan responded.

Su Mi looked at the hundreds of cavalrymen outside the half-closed door, and asked again: "Why are you here this time?"

Ni Tingxuan replied: "This time I came here for peace talks with the Liao army. I have sent people to find out the news just now, and I will deliver the book to the city tomorrow." Facing her, Ni Tingxuan had no intention of keeping it secret. The secret also blurted out.

What negotiation requires the young master of the Ni family to come in person?Don't forget, he is the only son in the Ni family, how can Ni Yuan be willing to part with him, not afraid that the Liao army will take him hostage?Su Mi looked at him suspiciously.

Under such a clear and penetrating gaze, Ni Tingxuan's face suddenly flickered with embarrassment, a little unnaturally avoiding her suspicious and probing gaze.How should he explain that he actually came for her.In fact, when he first arrived in Yongzhou and found out about his father's plan, after the initial shock and panic, he immediately sent someone to deliver a document to Liao coach Yeluxin, hoping to rescue her.At the same time, he also ordered the people in the hidden city to secretly search for her whereabouts.But there was no clue. After receiving his letter, Yelvxin also ordered the whole city to search for the legendary Qi Emperor's favorite concubine, but there was also no news.It was as if she had disappeared out of thin air, which made Ni Tingxuan feel uneasy no matter what.So this time, regardless of the objections of his subordinates, he took advantage of the opportunity of negotiating with the Liao army and came to look for it in person.

Su Mi didn't dwell on this issue, and asked, "Are you going to have peace talks with the Liao Army? About what?"

"It's about some military affairs..." Ni Tingxuan said.Naturally, the simple supply of food and grass would not cause him to come in person. In fact, this time he came to the capital mainly to find her.

Ni Tingxuan hadn't finished speaking when suddenly there was a loud exclamation from outside.

Before the two of them could react, the door was suddenly knocked open, "Young master, it's not good..." The person who came was the knight accompanying Ni Tingxuan, and he shouted hastily: "The brothers who were sentry below found that they came up the mountain. A lot of Liao troops are searching from village to house. They have killed many people, almost massacring the village."

Ni Tingxuan was taken aback. What is the purpose of the Liao army appearing here at this time?Didn't it mean that the Liao people's actions outside the city have gradually relaxed recently?

"How many people have come, did those who just stood guard didn't disturb them?" His expression became serious.

"No, there are about 1000 people from the Liao army." The subordinates reported quickly.

Is it to search for others, or is it for them?If it is directed at them, what does this move mean?Do the Liao people want to break the contract?But now that the supplies of the Liao army are still in their hands, how dare they break the contract with them?

Su Mi's expression had already changed, and she suddenly realized that, based on time, Juyuguan might have already taken action.

If Mu Qinghan and Ge Chengming had succeeded and the Qi army abandoned Juyuguan, the Liao army in the capital got the news that their supply routes were no longer restricted by the Yongzhou side.And because of the distance, Ni Tingxuan and the others still don't know the news.

At this time, the Liao army was about to send the envoys of Yongzhou to the door...

If this is the case, the situation is in crisis.

Su Mi immediately turned to Ni Tingxuan, who was still thinking about the Liao army's intention, and asked, "This time the Liao army knew that you came in person?"

"I don't know, it's just the usual escort of food and grass and exchange of information." Ni Tingxuan replied.His identity is sensitive, so of course he came in secret, and he would not send sheep into the tiger's mouth with great fanfare.

That's okay, there is still a chance.Su Mi came to her senses, the Liao army was going to turn against the Ni family, but they didn't know that Ni Tingxuan himself had come to the door.Otherwise, for such a big fish, there must be more than these people.

"Prepare to leave here immediately, the Liao Army's target must be you." Su Mi shouted decisively.

Ni Tingxuan only brought a hundred people with him, and he could not compete with the Liao army at all.

The soldier at the threshold looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. How did this woman know?The Liao Army will not turn against them at the moment. The target of those Liao Army may be resistance forces in other places.

"Trust me," Su Mi said anxiously to Ni Tingxuan, "It's too late to explain now, if you don't want to die at the hands of the Liao army, just listen to me."

Seeing Su Mi's tense expression, Ni Tingxuan's expression became serious, and there was a faint light of deep thought, but without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned around and ordered: "Notify everyone immediately, get on your horse and leave."

Hearing the young master's words, although the soldiers still had doubts on their faces, they immediately ran out to report the news.

"Come with me," Ni Tingxuan said to Su Mi.

"I..." Su Mi was stunned and hesitated. She would rather hide in the mountains and wait for Qi Hao or Ge Chengming to send someone to pick her up. How could she just walk away like this.

"Young Master," suddenly, the soldier who was in charge of staying behind to investigate galloped back and shouted from a distance: "It's not good, the Liao army has already come here, and the horse is very fast."

Outside, the faces of the accompanying people changed. This time the Liao army's intentions were unknown, but it must be that the visitors were not kind.If Ni Tingxuan fell into the hands of the Liao army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A knight in the ranks behind shouted towards this side: "It's not too late, young master, get on your horse! Before they seal the road, let's rush out!"

"These Liao soldiers are brutal, how can you escape as a woman." Ni Tingxuan said anxiously, the Liao army arrived in a short time, and he didn't care whether Su Mi agreed or not. He took Su Mi's hand and hugged her by the waist .

Before Su Mi had time to scream, he had already carried her out of the bamboo house.

But in the blink of an eye, everyone outside was already ready to go.Seeing the young lord came out with a woman, everyone showed doubts on their faces, but they didn't ask any questions, waiting for his order.

"Now the Liao army has ulterior motives. I'm afraid things will change. Let's retreat first and wait for news." Ni Tingxuan gave the order simply and quickly, and at the same time grabbed Su Mi's slender waist, lifted her onto the horse, and then jumped onto the horse's back. Bring extra horses, and even if there are, Su Mi can't ride a horse.It's a matter of urgency.

Su Mi was ashamed and annoyed, but she didn't struggle. Now that the Liao army had arrived, it was unpredictable whether she could escape into the deep mountains in time, so she had to go with them for the time being.

Feeling the heat of the body against her back, Su Mi was embarrassed. Although he hugged her last time when she went to Hanshan Temple, how can I care about the kung fu of life and death, and it was a severe winter. In this season, the clothes are thick and heavy, not like now, but there is a thin layer of summer shirts.

The figure of the Liao army in the distance has already appeared at the entrance of the village.The people in the village hadn't been freed from the novelty and curiosity of Ni Tingxuan's arrival, but the Liao people who arrived immediately plunged them into unprecedented fear and panic.

At a critical moment, Ni Tingxuan turned his horse's head, turned to a knight beside him and said, "Little Tang, go and inform the villagers here and the nearby villages that the Liao army is coming soon, take everyone into the mountains to hide .”

The knight immediately led away.

Su Mi's thoughts moved slightly, and she couldn't help looking up at Ni Tingxuan. She was about to suggest this, but Ni Tingxuan thought of it before she could speak.

The villagers here took them in, and with the ferocity of the Liao army, they probably wouldn't let them go.Fortunately, the village is close to the deep mountain, which is deep and tortuous. The villagers in the mountain have lived in the mountain since childhood. As long as they can hide in the mountain in time, the Liao people have nothing to do.

Seeing the Liao army approaching in the distance, although they have never been looted by the Liao people, the villagers have already sensed the crisis, and quickly called their wives and children and ran to the mountains.

Looking at the Liao army soldiers in the distance, Su Mi felt sad, and she could only hope in her heart that they were safe and sound.But right away she didn't have time to worry about the villagers.

What they will face will be a more dangerous and bloody charge.

The crowd rode their horses and rushed down the mountain. During the rush, Su Mi looked behind her. The village was gradually becoming remote and smaller. She suddenly realized that this period of life in the mountains was finally and completely over.

And ahead, there are still murderous Liao soldiers blocking the way...
