Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 61
Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention Di Dang who has been played around by Xiao Lian several times.At this moment, he was leading tens of thousands of Dajin soldiers, like wild dogs, tightly biting on Xiao Lian and his party.

Fortunately, Xiao Lian had already made preparations, and the 5000-man army retreated northward according to the established route. In order to disperse the pursuers, they retreated in two ways every time they encountered a fork in the road.

Di Dang knew what Xiao Lian was planning, but this time he didn't care about anything. Today he has only one purpose - to lose everything and let Xiao Lian die!

Li Xuan, who was galloping on horseback, looked back at the pursuers and shouted: "General! They have been following us!"

"I know." In fact, this is also good, Xiao Lian has long since thought about it, exchanging his life for the lives of five thousand Daling soldiers, it is a good deal no matter what.

"General, what should we do now?!" Li Xuan still didn't know what Xiao Lian was thinking, and was worried about the danger that his brother-in-law might encounter. !

This chase lasted for half an hour, and the soldiers behind Xiao Lian gradually dispersed to less than two hundred soldiers, and behind them were still tens of thousands of Dajin soldiers.

It's almost time to reach Cangshan Mountain, the junction of the two countries. To the north is the national border of Dajin, to the top is the rugged mountain road, and to the south is endless pursuit.

Xiao Lian ordered loudly without hesitation: "Retreat to the west!"

"Yes!" The two hundred soldiers including Li Xuan immediately turned their horses and headed west, this was their only escape route.

After Xiao Lian was finished, he escorted the other soldiers to leave first, and a Dajin soldier chased after him. Xiao Lian unceremoniously pierced the heart of the leading soldier with a sword.

In order to attract a large number of pursuers, Xiao Lian did not continue to move westward, and while resisting the attack with his own strength, he shouted at Li Xuan and others who had already opened a distance from him: "Leave me alone, retreat quickly! "

"General! I'll stay and protect you!" Li Xuan turned around and saw that Xiao Lian had fallen behind, so he was about to turn his horse around to rescue him.

"Don't come back! This is a military order! Violators will be beheaded!" Xiao Lian shouted angrily.

Several soldiers around Li Xuan forcibly pulled Li Xuan away, how could Li Xuan be willing?Xiao Lian had no choice but to order: "Shoot him unconscious!"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Xuan was slapped from behind by someone, and he passed out completely.

Seeing them taking Li Xuan away gradually, Xiao Lian felt relieved, but at this moment the pursuers brought by Di Dang had almost surrounded him.

"Drive—" Xiao Lian clamped his horse's belly, split the northernmost human wall with his sword, and galloped up the mountain.

The mountain road is narrow, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is difficult to form a siege. He may still have a glimmer of life.

Seeing Xiao Lian running up Cangshan Mountain, Di Dang sneered.Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian, your time of death has finally arrived.

Di Dang slowed down, he wanted to enjoy the fun of catching a turtle in this urn.

Although Xiao Lian had been in the frontier for ten years, it was his first time to visit Cangshan Mountain.It is desolate and uninhabited, and the mountains are steep. Whether it is fighting or living, the two countries will avoid it.

He didn't expect that one day he would be able to go to Cangshan Mountain, it would be such a chance.

Seeing that there were no traces of pursuers behind him, Xiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief, but the mountain road was too difficult to walk.At the beginning, there were still some people under his feet, but as Xiao Lian climbed higher and higher, the horse's leg was cut by the overgrown thorns and weeds, and it was difficult to move. Xiao Lian had to abandon the horse and walk, opening the way with the sword in his hand.

Just like this, he climbed up little by little, and when Xiao Lian finally reached the top of the mountain through the forest that covered the sky and the sun, he was already exhausted, and his hand holding the sword was trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Lian looked around and found that the place he was on was a bare cliff with no weeds around.He poked his head out to check the surrounding terrain, and found a rushing river under the cliff, which seemed to be Dajin's Beiyuan River.

"Xiao Lian, are you still in the mood to enjoy the scenery?"

Xiao Lian's footsteps stopped, and the fine stones on the edge of the cliff were trampled down by him one after another, and fell silently along the stone wall towards the bottom of the mountain.

He turned his head and saw Di Dang smiling smugly.

"When you chose this path, I knew it was over for you." Di Dang said as he approached Xiao Lian.

"Come closer, be careful I will kill you with one sword." Xiao Lian raised his sword and pointed at Di Dang.

Di Dang saw Xiao Lian's trembling hands at a glance, and he laughed loudly and said, "Hahahahaha, Xiao Lian, do you want to see yourself now? Unkempt and embarrassed, it's all like this, you still think about it?" Wanna play tricks on me?"

"Although the man died, especially not regretting it, I exchanged my life for the three cities of Daling, and I, Xiao Lian, deserved to die!"

In just a few days, Di Dang first lost his soldiers and generals, and then lost three cities in a row. These words were heartbreaking, and Di Dang was furious: "Xiao Lian, you'd better not provoke me. If I kill you now, I will kill you." It's as easy as crushing an ant."

"Di Dang, if I were you, I would be ashamed to live in this world anymore. How are you going to explain to your master and the people of Dajin when you return to Dajin in despair? If they know that because of your stupidity And arrogant, you ruined the lives of [-] gold soldiers in vain, can you still live?"

"Shut up!" Di Dang raised his knife at Xiao Lian angrily.

"Come on, let's see if my defeated general can beat me this time."

Di Dang rushed forward, raised his sword and slashed at Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian raised his sword to resist.

However, Xiao Lian's physical strength was exhausted by running around for several days, and he gradually couldn't support himself, and knelt on the ground on one knee

"Xiao Lian, die!" Di Dang obviously felt that he had the upper hand, he said something viciously, and then he chopped down at Xiao Lian with all his strength.

Xiao Lian subconsciously leaned back, and at the very moment, the stone under his feet couldn't bear his weight, and it cracked with a "click".

Xiao Lian only felt that the pressure on his head disappeared in an instant, even his feet were suspended in the air, and there was no sound in his ears, only the whistling wind.

He fell off a cliff.

Xiao Lian closed his eyes, feeling like a bird flying, relaxed and at ease.

For a moment he thought, if he could die like this, it would be a happy ending.

But immediately a face appeared in his mind, a beautiful face smiling sweetly at him, revealing two shallow dimples around the mouth.

No, he can't die!

Yingying is still waiting for him!

Thinking of Li Ying, Xiao Lian suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, countless bows and arrows were flying towards him from the cliff on the top of the mountain!

not good!

Xiao Lian, who regained his sanity, immediately raised the sword he was holding tightly in his hand, and kept blocking the arrows that were shot at his chest.

It's just that the bows and arrows were too dense, and at the moment when Xiao Lian was about to fall out of the range of the bows and arrows, there was a "stab" sound, and an arrow that he had no time to resist pierced his left shoulder mercilessly.

"Hiss—" At the last moment when his consciousness remained, Xiao Lian only knew that he had been hit by an arrow, and then with a "plop", he fell heavily into the icy Beiyuan River.

Li Ying waited with her neck stretched out in the barracks in Yibei City, but she never heard any news from Xiao Lian.

However, she did wait for an old acquaintance.

On this day, Li Ying was sewing some daily necessities for the army in his mansion in the city, with Xiao Lian's safety in mind, "dong dong dong", suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Could it be Xiao Lian and the others who came back? !Li Ying eagerly opened the door, but saw an old man with white hair, youthful face and gray beard standing in front of him, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Master Yiyuan?!"

The person who came was Li Ying who was mistaken for Master Sifang in the Lingshan Taoist Temple back then, and Li Ying was unable to change the date of marriage to Master Yiyuan because of a mistake.

"My fellow Taoist, how did you know the name of the poor Taoist?" Master Yiyuan asked with a smile.

"Master, it's me! The loyal princess who wanted you to postpone your wedding back then!" Li Ying said as he took off the mask on his face.

Master Yiyuan certainly remembered this interesting princess, he smiled and asked, "Why are you here, princess?"

"It's a long story, what about you, Master?"

"Pindao has been wandering around the area all the time. Unexpectedly, it was a time of war and everything was not peaceful. Hearing that Yibei City is safe, Pindao came here first to settle down."

"So that's the case, please come in, Master."

Li Ying never expected that she would meet old acquaintances in Yibei City, which is thousands of miles away from the capital. She warmly entertained Master Yiyuan and placed him in the mansion.

"When the prince returns from victory, we can return to the capital together."

Master Yiyuan stroked his gray beard and smiled, "Okay, okay."

"Master, where did you wander around?"

"Pindao went to the territory of Dajin."

"What?!" Li Ying opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You went to the Kingdom of Jin?"

"good."

"Won't the people there arrest you?"

Master Yiyuan laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He explained: "The people of Dajin are no different from the people of Daling. They don't like fighting, and they are also very interested in Taoism. Wherever I go , many Dajin people surrounded me and asked me to preach."

"I see. It seems that I was somewhat blinded in the past."

"It's okay, walk more, see more, listen more, the princess's vision will naturally broaden."

Li Ying chatted with Master Yiyuan very well, and she couldn't help thinking that one day, if Dajin could live in peace with Daling, maybe she would have the opportunity to take a walk on Dajin's land, take a look, and experience the relationship with Daling. Ling completely different customs.

With great difficulty, Li Ying temporarily suppressed her worries about Xiao Lian, but that night Li Ying didn't sleep well at all.

She has been having nightmares. For a while, she dreamed that Xiao Lian was standing in front of her, but she couldn't hold his hand no matter what; , Li Ying saw it and wanted to remind him, but she couldn't make a sound no matter what; after a while, she dreamed that Xiao Lian was seriously injured, covered in blood, and he said to himself, "Yingying, don't wait for me"...

"Xiao Lian!" Li Ying screamed and woke up from one nightmare after another. She found that her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Li Ying's heart was pounding, she had a very bad premonition.

Her premonition soon came true.Li Ying had just changed into clothes when there was a hasty knock on the door: "Sister! Sister! Are you there!"

It's Li Xuan!He is back? !
Li Yingfei also ran over and opened the door: "Xuan'er? You're back!"

"Sister! Something happened!"

Li Ying's heart beat faster: "What happened?"

"Brother-in-law went up to Cangshan Mountain alone to save us!" Li Xuan was knocked out, and after waking up, he had no chance to go back to find Xiao Lian, so he had to hurry back and send the soldiers who saw Xiao Lian going up the mountain from afar at that time. Pass the words to Auntie.

"Where is Cangshan?"

"It's a mountain peak at the junction of Daling and Dajin. The mountain is steep and inaccessible. I heard them say..."

"say what?"

"Speaking of most people, there will be no return!"

At this moment, Li Ying felt that the blood in her body was congealed, and her ears were buzzing. She didn't listen to what Li Xuan continued to say.

"Sister! Sister!" Li Xuan noticed Li Ying's strangeness, he held her arm and poured her a cup of hot water.

Only then did Li Ying recover from the feeling of suffocation just now, and she grabbed Li Xuan's arm: "Xuan'er, I'm going to save him!"

Not only did Li Xuan not stop Li Ying, but he supported her very much: "Sister, that's what I thought. Now the three northern cities have been taken back by my Da Ling, and that Di Dang has brought all the soldiers of Da Jin in a desperate way. Fleeing back to Dajin! My brother-in-law is Daling’s hero, we can’t give up on him!”

"Whoever gives up on him, I won't give up. Bring a small team of reliable people and let's set off immediately!"

"it is good!"

"and many more!"

"What's the matter, sister?" Li Xuan stopped in doubt.

"I'll find someone else."

Soon, Li Xuan led a team of ten people over to have a round with Li Ying. When he saw an old gray-haired Taoist priest standing beside Li Ying, he asked, "Sister, this is..."

"This is Master Yiyuan. He has traveled around all the year round and is very familiar with the territory of Dajin. Master is willing to help us find the whereabouts of the prince."

"Great, so we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Zhang Jun, Zhang Zhi and the others gasped when they heard the news that Xiao Lian had gone up to Cangshan Mountain alone. People who live in the frontier often know how steep that mountain is, and they might lose it if they don't pay attention. life.

They also wanted to go to the rescue with Li Xuan, but the three cities had just been taken back, and as lieutenant generals, they still had a lot to do.They had no choice but to entrust this important task to Li Xuan, and each sent their most capable generals to help Li Xuan find the person together.

A team of 12 people set out from Yibei City and pointed directly at Cangshan Mountain.

There was no need to go around the city on this road. The group traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the foot of Cangshan Mountain early in the morning of the third day.

Li Ying raised her head and looked at this towering mountain that could not be seen as far as the eye could see. She was not afraid in her heart, but when she thought that Xiao Lian might be inside, she went up the mountain without flinching.

They soon discovered the traces left by Xiao Lian. There was a path that had been cleared of thorns. They walked along this path, and Li Ying found a piece of Xiao Lian's clothes hooked on the branch next to him. horn.

The black and silver patterned fabric was sewed for him by herself.

"Quick, he must still be on the mountain!" Li Ying ran to the top of the mountain recklessly.
