Chapter 18
Two fast horses were dragging a palace carriage, galloping on the rugged mountain road. The horses' bodies were marked by bloody whip marks, and they were running forward like crazy.
In the sedan, Ye Niansi held on to the sedan seat tightly, barely able to stabilize his body, but his whole body was covered with bruises. His black eyes looked at the bleeding wound on his left arm. Amidst the violent shaking, he fiercely He pinched the proximal end of his arm, and blood flowed out, leaving some faint traces of blood on the snow.
"Come on! Come on!" Zhuan Qiu followed the sedan on horseback, his eyes bulging out excitedly, and he grinned crazily. In his strong hand, he held a whip with a thick wrist. If the horse moves slightly slowly, the vicious whip will follow.
The horseshoes were soaked with blood, and the carriage rushed like light and shadow on the rugged mountain road. It almost rolled over several times and was blocked by rocks on the edge of the cliff.
There is a vast expanse of white everywhere, making it easy to be dazzled.
"Third brother, this is really fun," Chen Fu followed closely behind on horseback. The wind whistled in his ears. It gradually began to snow on the mountain. Tiny snow particles kept getting into his eyes. He narrowed his narrow eyes slightly. A pair of eyes said, "Bago, let's just stop ahead. If you play like the third brother, won't you kill that kid?"
Min Shu, who was riding side by side with him, laughed wildly, his eyes full of disdain. He rolled his eyes at Chen Fu, "How many people have died at your hands? Why are you pretending to be compassionate at this time? It's not the two of us who killed them. Nothing is blocked by your third brother!"
Chen Fu smiled evilly. He glanced at the surrounding mountains. They were walking very fast. They were already halfway up the mountain of Xumo Mountain and were about to reach Jueming Cliff. He accelerated quickly and jumped onto the deck of the carriage. Both arms tightened the reins, "Hey!——"
A sharp howl passed through the snowy sky with howling cold wind. The carriage stopped on the road. Zhuanqiu, who was riding a horse next to him, was very unhappy. After getting off the horse, he hit the stone with a whip, startling the horse, "You What are you doing? I haven’t had enough fun yet!"
Chen Fu walked up to him with a helpless smile, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered, "Third brother, we can't play anymore. Look at the sky, it's going to be night soon." He lowered his voice even more, his eyes slightly stained. He glanced fearfully at the surrounding mountain peaks, "This Xuyu Mountain, nicknamed Wolf Mountain, is hunted every autumn, but no one can crawl out from under the wolf's mouth alive!"
He suddenly patted Zhuan Qiu, who seemed to be frightened. "Are you afraid?"
Zhuan Qiu was really stunned, and then nodded hurriedly, "Afraid, afraid! Then let's leave quickly!"
"That's it!" Chen Fu turned around and mounted his fast horse. When he looked forward, Min Shu waved to them, indicating that they should go quickly. The sense of smell of wild wolves is very keen. Jueming Cliff is where the wolf's den is. As long as he smells At the slightest whiff of live meat, wolves will immediately surround you.
Zhuan Qiu got on the horse and said, "Wait a minute, twelfth brother, what about the fourteenth brother?" He reined in the reins, stood next to the sedan, and scratched the back of his head.
Chen Fu helplessly held up his forehead and explained to him with a smile, "Third brother, aren't we just here to 'congratulate' the fourteenth brother on his wedding!" He didn't even know what this idiot was asking.
"But the mother-in-law said that wolves are very ferocious animals and can eat people. If the fourteenth brother is left here, won't he die?" Zhuan Qiu asked with a puzzled look on his face, but also stubbornly refused to leave.
In the distance, Min Shu put his hands on his left and right cheeks and shouted in this direction, "Are your heads stuck on your butt? Are you waiting to die if you don't leave!?"
If it weren't for the purpose of dragging someone to blame, Chen Fu would really not want to bring this scumbag to work. He frowned and rolled his eyes, "Third brother, the three of us are here to play games with the fourteenth brother. The wolf is coming soon." This game is the most fun. You said we are older brothers, do we have to give way to our younger brothers?"
Zhuan Qiu thought for a moment and scratched his head, "It seems so."
"What are you talking about? Let's go! Drive!" Master Chen came up and frightened his horse with a whip. "Ah - slow down! Slow down!" Zhuan Qiu quickly turned towards Min Shu. went.
Master Chen drove the horse and turned sideways to look at the carriage that was about to fall apart. He sneered and thought to himself, "Night King, don't blame anyone. You are going out to hunt with us in the capital. This is Langshan." When the capable come out, the weak will perish. If you grab something that you shouldn't grab, this is what you will end up with. 】
Immediately, the three of them quickly went down the mountain. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, it became dark. The three of them quickly returned to the capital. Half an hour later, they stopped in front of the Piaohong Building, holding a few brothel girls in their arms. Elegant room.
For a moment mountain.
Ye Niansi remembered that the name of this mountain was given by Emperor Gaozu Xiao Jue himself when the Yu Dynasty unified the five kingdoms and established the capital 300 years ago.
One day in the mountains seems like years, which means that when people who go up the mountain can come down safely again, they feel as if they have been on the mountain for a year, which shows the torture.
The carriage had fallen apart, and the horse pulling the carriage was taken away by the three people. Ye Niansi tried his best to climb out of the carriage rolling on the edge of the cliff, and what he saw was a road with no end in sight.
The sky was gradually darkening. He looked around with his dark eyes. He saw an abyss beneath his feet. There were two roads on the left, one of which should be the road up the mountain just now. There was only one road on the right, which should lead directly to the place they said. " "Destiny Cliff".
A gust of cold wind blew up and rolled up his thin clothes. The wound on his arm continued to bleed. His dark eyes were dizzy, his lips were withered and white, and his complexion was already pale and blue from the cold.
No, he had to wake up at this time. He knelt down, picked up a large handful of snow, opened his collar, and poured it in hard. A biting coldness made him sober up. When he touched his face, he felt a little sticky. Yes, when I looked at my hand again, it turned out to be blood.
No wonder he felt dizzy. It turned out that he had hit his head on the carriage, the blood was frozen on his face, and his cheeks had lost all feeling from the cold.
He looked around, picked up a wooden stick as thick as an arm from his feet, supported himself and prepared to walk forward to see if the blood stains he left along the way were still there.
But in front of him, no matter which road he was on, it was all white. The snow was falling so heavily that his frost-stained eyelashes could hardly see the farther road. However, the road in front of him was pure white, with not even a trace of it. A trace of blood.
He remembered that it took an hour from the time they started going up the mountain to the time they stopped. According to the difference in temperature between the mountain and the bottom, the height here was at least a thousand feet. Such a long winding mountain road had many forks. If there were no blood stains Marked, he could not go down the mountain.
This thought caused a slight flash of despair in his dark eyes, but that look was fleeting. He had to walk down this mountain alive.
Ye Niansi bent over and looked for two stones on the roadside, picked up some branches and took them to a nearby small cave. He held the stone tightly with his slender fingers and rubbed the two stones repeatedly, hundreds of times. Finally, with a "crack" sound, a branch was ignited.
With barely a trace of warmth in his hand, Ye Niansi rolled up his sleeves and brought the flame close to his wound, "prick, prick, prick"... The flesh of the wound was constantly being burned, and the blood that was originally gurgling, slowly flowed out with the wound. It was scorched hard and gradually stopped.
Ye Niansi's expression was not too troubled. In the past, when there was no medicine to stop the bleeding, this was a method he often used.The blood on his forehead clotted quickly, so there was no need to use it. After a moment, he immediately stamped out the flames.
He looked outside with dark eyes, and it was completely dark.In the surrounding valleys, the howls of wolves suddenly came one after another.This is the sound of wolves.
If it is a wolf, you can use a torch to drive it away. If it is a pack of wolves, lighting a fire or making smoke will only speed up the discovery of the wolf. A pack of wolves is not afraid of torches.
He looked at his wound. The wolf was very sensitive to the smell of blood. Even though he had stopped the bleeding, in this almost barren mountain, the smell of a living person was a great temptation to the Wolf King's taste buds. .
He can't stay here.
The heavy snow fell one after another, and he ran out with his injuries, and at the fork in the road, he chose a path at random.But just after running a few steps, he was blocked.
Two pure white snow wolves were coming from the opposite side of him. Their green vertical eyes stared straight at him with extremely sinister eyes. They stopped unhurriedly, and their fangs were as sharp as cold blades. , a few strings of halazi dripped down.
Ye Niansi's black eyes were slightly startled, and he turned around quickly, only to find that he was surrounded by a group of about ten snow wolves. They were not far from him, but they blocked all possible escape routes for him. Even near the cliff on one side, there were wolves occupying that position.
Ye Niansi's hands in his sleeves were slightly clenched, his dark eyes cold.
Wolves are the only animals that are not driven by the witch doctor clan. They have no trust in humans and have an extremely perverted desire for any body. They are a species that cannot be ruled by nature.It seems that it will be difficult for him to leave this place today.
Suddenly, several wolves ran towards him, grabbed two pieces of meat from his legs and hands, and then ran quickly into the wolf pen, repeating the cycle.Ye Niansi did not dodge, but persisted for a moment, and his thin bones were exposed.
He knelt on the ground with one knee, his body was full of wounds, and wolves kept biting off just a piece of meat from his back, waist, abdomen, arms, and thighs, holding it in his mouth and rushing to the other side. A cry of great excitement.
He used his last bit of strength to raise his black eyes, watching them all forgetfully tasting his meat and casting covetous glances at him. The corners of his lips tilted slightly, and a fierceness surged in his eyes.
"Then let us die together." His dark eyes were burning, even though his body was riddled with holes, he was not afraid.He once took the gallbladder of a flower python, a cold substance that is highly poisonous to wolves.They eat his flesh and suck his blood, so they will not live long.
The cold wind howled, blowing the thin clothes on his body.
This is his fate.
At the last moment, the leading wolf king made a leap towards him. Ye Niansi turned his face and stared straight at the ferocious wolf with his black eyes. At the moment when he closed his eyes in despair——
Whoosh! ——
He opened his eyes, and an arrow flew from a distance and pierced the snow wolf's throat directly!Snow Wolf fell to the ground and lost his breath with a howl.
He turned around abruptly.
"Your Highness the Night King, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!" Tan Yuwang shouted at him.
The cold wind howled, and among dozens of wolves, she was wearing a peach-pink dress and a long bright moon-white mink cloak. She held up a huge Qingyue sky-breaking bow in her left hand, with arrows falling like rain. It falls with such precision, with a sharp silver light, and the sound that penetrates the air is as sweet as silk and bamboo, but it can make the rampaging wolves flee in a moment.
Ye Niansi looked at her with dark eyes. For some reason, the ends of his eyes were red. The wounds on his body that were almost numb at first became painful. He even felt a faint sense of betrayal and anger towards the three people. His emotions, wrapped in grievances and helplessness, despair and pain, made him frantically want to talk to her at that moment.He didn't even understand why it happened.
Qin Yuwang came riding Lan Yin. She held his hand tightly beside Ye Niansi and took him on the horse, "Lanyin, run!"
The violent bumps on the horse's back made it difficult for Ye Niansi to steady himself. Tan Yuwang took his hand and wrapped it around his waist. While driving the horse wildly, he said loudly to him, "Your Highness, hold me tight, we are going down the mountain." !”
Ye Niansi lowered his dark eyes, gently tightened his hand, and placed his fingertips in front of her slender waist.He looked at the thin and weak shoulders, and a fleeting thought of wanting to rely on him flashed through his body, but it was dissipated amidst the violent bumps and extreme cold.
The wolves did not flee, but scattered. After seeing them running away, a snow wolf jumped out of the haystack first, ran to the alpha wolf that was shot to death by Qin Yuwang, and stuck out its tongue. Licking its wounds.But the Wolf King's body had stiffened, and he didn't even close his eyes.
She is the wife of the wolf king, the most noble woman among the wolves. At this moment, the snow wolves appear again in small groups behind her. She opens her blood-red eyes wide, opens her fangs, and stabs her husband deeply into his throat. He pulled out the arrow fiercely and held it in his mouth.
Its eyes were fierce, the moonlight illuminated the tail of the silver fir arrow, and streaks of silver light shone on its ruthless face. "Ouch - Woo -" it bit the arrow and roared towards the sky. The extremely sad voice was so penetrating that the remaining snow towering into the clouds on the mountain was crumbling.
It started to take another shortcut and pursued in the direction of Qin Yuwang. The call just now had summoned wolves from all over the Xuyu Mountain for it in just a moment, not just snow wolves, but also wolves with longer fangs. Red wolves, extremely ferocious coyotes, and the most widespread jackals, thousands of wolves, began to surround all the roads going down the mountain at the fastest speed.
Qin Yuwang drove the horse and kept running. Ye Niansi tilted his ears slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his black eyes, and the wolf's voice disappeared.He once read a book called "Wild Forest Miscellaneous Notes", which said that after a wolf has a prey target, it will no longer howl.When there is no target, they will use one after another wolf howl to talk to each other on different hills.
"No, you have to stop, you can't go along this road." Ye Niansi slightly tightened the hand holding Qin Yuwang. Although Qin Yuwang was confused, he stopped in time, "Why? But there is only this way down the mountain. ah."
Ye Niansi dismounted, unable to stand still because of his injuries. He looked at the dark darkness in front of him, which was very quiet, especially since it was snowing, and the entire mountain forest was silent.
There are many wolves here, and their arrival must have been known to them. No one is more familiar with this Xuyu Mountain than the wolves.This kind of silence is abnormal. It doesn't look like a pursuit, but like an ambush.
His guess was correct. Just one kilometer in front of them, thousands of wolves had blocked the entire road from there to the descent. They were silent in the grass on both sides of the road, surrounded by snow, forests, trees, and shrubs. As a cover, with his vertical eyes glowing and full of energy, the Snow Wolf clan became even more angry.
Everything is ready, just waiting for them to come to your door.
"What should we do? Should we run up the mountain?" Qin Yuwang supported him and looked nervously at the injuries all over his body. She hung his arm on her shoulders and looked at his pale face, "Let's find someone first. Here, let me help you take care of the wound."
Ye Niansi glanced around, and walked one kilometer up the mountain with Tan Yuwang. At a higher place, he could see the way down the mountain a little more clearly.
"It looks very peaceful like this. Where will they ambush?" Tan Yuwang took off the package from Lan Yin's body and was about to take out the medicine when Ye Niansi looked into the sky with his black eyes. There was a wild goose flying in the sky.
"Can you see that bird?" He asked, and Qin Yuwang raised his eyes, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Knock it down." Ye Niansi said lightly. Due to excessive blood loss, his vision was a little blurred and he couldn't see clearly. He only felt that the bird was very far away.
Although Qin Yuwang didn't know why he did this, she still raised the Qingyue Sky-breaking Bow, mounted the silver fir arrow, aimed her left eye at the wild goose, and kept moving in the direction of its flight, "Whoosh! -" The arrow pierced the air, and the wild goose screamed miserably, falling straight down like a kite with its string broken, landing just not far from the way they went down the mountain.
"That's it," she put down her bow and arrow, a cold light flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.
The seriously injured goose fell down, and in just a moment, dense wolves rushed forward. Before the goose landed, it was bitten to pieces. After the wolf grabbed the food, it quickly hid in the grass.
Tan Yuwang's hand holding the bow was trembling slightly.She frowned and looked at Ye Niansi.
If they had taken a few dozen steps forward, they would have been stripped to the ground and only bones would be left.
Ye Niansi looked at the situation on the mountain road expressionlessly.
Qin Yuwang opened the package, which contained the dry food they had not finished during their last trip to Kunlunxu, as well as the piece of beef jerky.She took out the beef jerky, tore it open and handed it to Ye Niansi. Before the man could react, the food was already in his mouth.
He frowned and chewed a few times, which was really tiring.Every time I swallowed, the pain in my back hurt.
Qin Yuwang twisted her waist left and right, feeling something strange in her waist, and suddenly remembered something. She took out half a bunch of candied haws from the pocket on her chest, tore open the small candy wrapper and handed it to Ye Niansi.
Ye Niansi looked at her with black eyes, then frowned at the translucent red fruit.
"It's not poisonous," Qin Yuwang looked at him with sharp eyes, opened his mouth and bit off one, "It's specially reserved for you."
Ye Niansi raised his hand to take it, his black eyes lowered, and he shook the bunch of candied haws, "I didn't doubt that."
While he was eating, Qin Yuwang inspected the wounds on his body.
A piece of flesh was bitten off in seven or eight places, and the wounds were all torn. She raised her eyes to look at him, but Ye Niansi didn't say a word of pain.She frowned, poured the golden sore medicine on the gauze, and then gently wrapped the wound.
Qin Yuwang took out the map she had just asked for from the package, and looked at it carefully under the cold moonlight. Ye Niansi glanced at the piece of paper. One road up the mountain to Jueming Cliff, and two roads down the mountain were clearly visible. , there is no other way to go.
Qin Yuwang frowned and saw the wolves at the bottom of the mountain approaching the mountain little by little. "We have to go up the mountain quickly. They will find us soon."
She stood up and pulled Ye Niansi's arm with both hands. He did not move. His dark eyes were slightly lowered and his lips were pale. His voice was clear and cold, "I smell of blood. You take me with you. It's doomed." I can't run away. You shouldn't have come to save me."
Qin Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Who made you my unlucky husband?" She used all her strength to help him get on the horse, and then she also rode on it. She looked at the direction of the approaching wolves with her almond-shaped eyes, "We can only go up the mountain. There is one path to choose from. If today is so unlucky and we both die," she turned her head, "you have to wait for me at the entrance of Naihe Bridge. I will still have to take care of you in the next life."
Ye Niansi glanced at her with a complicated look in his black eyes. Tan Yuwang's whip was covered with felt. She whipped it down, and Lan Yin ran forward up the mountain.
The wolves never found any trace of them. The wolf's wife jumped up to the top of a nearby hill. She looked down at the entire mountainside with her green vertical eyes. She could see far and far away. She could smell the person who killed her husband. Not far away, it looked up the mountain and rushed over, followed by thousands of wolves.
They originally thought it would take at least some time, but unexpectedly, the process of rushing to the cliff of death was faster than they imagined.
When they were about to reach the top of Xuzhen Mountain, wolves surrounded him from all directions. The snow-white female wolf looked straight at Qin Yu. Ye Niansi subconsciously raised his hand to protect her neck. The wound on his left arm was bitten open again. He There was a slight frown between his eyebrows.Lan Yin evaded the attack of the wolves very quickly. When she was about to reach the cliff of death, she could not turn back. The wolves behind her rushed up with eager eyes. At the moment of life and death, Lan Yin glanced down and her eyes lit up. He jumped down resolutely.
Ye Niansi held Tan Yuwang tightly in his arms and closed his eyes.
They fell rapidly, passing through the silent night sky, disrupting the flying snow. The she-wolf stood on the edge of the cliff, raising her head and roaring to the sky.
"Ouch - ow -, ow - ow -"
Qin Wuhou Mansion.
The night was deep, but the lights on Zhengyang Street were brightly lit. Hundreds of armored men lined up outside the gate of Wuhou Mansion, each wearing moon-white armor, and the lowest rank was a fifth-grade general.
Six teams outside the capital, totaling more than [-] elite soldiers, headed straight for Xuyu Mountain with weapons and baggage at an accelerating speed of thousands of miles.
In the main hall of the mansion, Qin Yu was sitting on a carved bamboo chair. His hair seemed to have turned white overnight. He closed his eyes and held his temple with one hand, calmly waiting for the results.
On the chairs next to them, Chen Fu and Min Shu were sitting on pins and needles. They looked at Zhuan Qiu, who was looking around with curiosity in his eyes. The panic in his eyes was even more difficult to hide.
Master Chen spoke first, smiling apologetically and not daring to speak too loudly, "Master Hou, the fourteenth brother... really wanted to go hunting with us. He went as soon as the Third Emperor called him, right? Come on, Brother Huang!"
Min Shu elbowed Zhuan Qiu, who nodded hurriedly, "Yes! Yes!"
"So this matter really has nothing to do with us. How do we know what Langshan is..." Chen Fu complained.
Min Shu remained silent, one leg resting on the other. Even if Tan Yuwang and Ye Niansi died on the mountain today, there was nothing he could do to Tan Yu.
"Gu, Gu..." Zhuan Qiu's stomach rang. He looked around and pointed at a slave, "You, go and get some food for me! I want to eat tart cakes, braised tofu, and bone soup." , barley cake, braised pork ribs, crayfish and salt-baked chicken! Go quickly! I’m hungry!”
The servants around them clenched their fists and stared at them angrily. The maid did not speak, but looked at Qin Yu.
Tan Yu opened his eyes and stared into the distance. A figure walked in in the darkness. Tan Yun walked in and knelt on one knee with a solemn expression. "Father, the first group of people have arrived at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is very big in a moment." , about half the capital."
Qin Yu stood up slowly and took out a copper-colored talisman from his sleeve. The three people sitting on the chair immediately looked straight.
It was a tiger talisman made of pure gold inside and bronze on the surface. It was only half the size of a palm. It was a symbol of the unique military power of the Yu Dynasty.
He stretched out his hand, Qin Yun's palms were facing up, his hands were above his head, Qin Yu put the tiger talisman in his hand, his voice was cold and cold, "I order you to mobilize fifty thousand knights, and within one day, Even if I want to level Mount Xuma, I still have to find these two people."
Qin Yun received the order, "General, I obey! Wu Hou is waiting for good news!" After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Min Shu and Chen Fu looked at each other, and he looked at Qin Yu with some disdain, "Master Marquis, your formation is too exaggerated. It's just two people. I'm afraid this deployment of troops is out of proportion."
Chen Fu found that Marquis Wu was not that easy to talk to, so he said nothing.
Tan Yu stood in front of them with his hands clasped behind his back, and cast a stern glance sideways. The look in his eyes was even more threatening. He felt a cold wind rushing down his back after looking at them for a second time.
"Princes, when my good daughter and son-in-law come back, I will give you a good banquet."
Min Shu smiled, he knew it, and he didn't dare to do anything even if he tried.
Qin Yu's eyes darkened and he sat on the chair, "If I can't come back, I will also treat you to a banquet for the three of you. But the meal will be different."
He raised his hand slightly and looked at the three of them, "My Qin family rarely holds funerals. If Bai Ling is hung up in my Qin family this time," his eyes were cold but his voice was calm, "I guarantee that all the funerals in Kyoto will be held. In every household, no one can live through this situation and 13 years safely. The people in my Tan family died of humiliation without a chance. If one person dies, I, Tan Yu, will have thousands of people buried with him."
He slowed down his speech, "The first to bear the brunt is that the three princes died on Wolf Mountain due to hunting. When you eat your banquet, don't forget to take an extra portion. After all, it is unprecedented for anyone to be able to eat his own funeral banquet alive. There will be no one left.”
There was no fluctuation in Qin Yu's voice, not even a rise in tone or a domineering attitude at all.He was calm and calm, as if he was talking about a very small thing, such as when to eat, when to sweep the dust, whether to clean the mouth first or the face when it dawns tomorrow... and other small things.
Min Shu was anxious, "Marquis Wu, we are all princes! Can you still take our lives?!"
Qin Yu's eyes were calm and cold. After a long silence, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Didn't the three princes want to go up the mountain on their own? Why, only you have evidence, but I don't?" His voice suddenly became majestic. , the sound was like a loud bell, ringing loudly, "Then you underestimate my Wuhou Mansion."
At this time, Min Shu couldn't laugh at all.He put down his legs silently, and when he raised his head, Chen Fu's lips were also pale, and only Zhuan Qiu was still looking around with clear eyes, thinking about when he could have dinner.
They really didn't expect that the second lady of the Qin Mansion would actually dare to take the Xuzhen Mountain on the drawing.She went to Xiao Yan and asked where they often went. Prince Xiao thought that they would definitely not be in Piaohonglou. After all, he had done something bad that day and had to find a place to hide. In the end, he took her there and was caught. I caught it accurately.
In order to avoid suspicion, Prince Xiao did not wait for Qin Yuwang to interrogate him, so he left with an excuse. No one was afraid of her arrogance. Due to the pressure, they had no choice but to tell her. The drawing of Xuyu Mountain on her body was also She snatched away.
They thought that a woman wouldn't have the courage to say anything. Besides, wasn't she her childhood sweetheart with Xiao Yan before?She was cut off by the marriage-gifted sword, but luckily they still respectfully called her sister-in-law.
Now the two of them are looking forward to it. It doesn't matter whether Niansi lives or lives that night, but Tan Yuwang must not have anything happen to him, otherwise they may not be able to get out of the Tan Wuhou Mansion.
At dawn, the snow stopped.
When Qin Yuwang woke up, his eyes were filled with white.
She fluttered her eyelashes slightly, feeling like she was still alive?
She tried to breathe, and gradually felt a hint of coldness on her hands.
She is really alive!
She slowly opened her eyes wide, and the sky she saw was white and snowy. It was not as clear as it was, and it was not as blue as it was rumored to be.It was still gray, as if nothing in the world had changed.
But they survived.
She was overjoyed and hurriedly sat up, only to find that the cold thing in her hand was not snow, but a man's hand.
Ye Niansi lay next to her, his whole body frozen.His handsome and thin face was as pale as dead water, there was no blood on his lips, and the scars on his forehead were severe and terrifying. When he fell, he almost completely protected her body, so his whole body was covered with stabs and pokes. , scratched wounds, varying in severity.
Lan Yin had an injury on one of her legs and was licking Ye Niansi's face sadly.
Qin Yuwang stepped forward, patted both sides of his cheeks, and listened to his heart. The weak heartbeat was still there and had not disappeared.
Qin Yuwang stood up and looked around. She fell from the Jueming Cliff, but she never imagined that below was not only a rushing river, but also a huge sandy land, in which some frozen and blackened watermelon vines were buried. It's not far from here, there should be someone living here.
Just as she was thinking about it, a tall and muscular man walked past in the distance carrying a bamboo basket. Qin Yu looked at her with joy in her eyes and shouted for help, "Help! Help! -"
Gang Qianzhi walked a few steps and stopped, thinking that he had heard wrongly. He turned around, only to see two people and a horse there.
He looked at the cold and biting river water next to Shatian, with some doubts in his eyes.
A fire was lit in the hut and the temperature rose a little bit. Tan Yuwang held Ye Niansi's hand and called him anxiously by the bedside.
Gang Qianzhi came in from outside the door, holding two porcelain bottles in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, this is the medicine I used in the barracks before. Give it to your husband as soon as possible. His injury is not serious." "
Qin Yuwang smiled reluctantly, "Thank you, little brother." She picked up the porcelain vase, touched the bottom with her fingers, and touched a word. She turned it over and saw that it was the word "覃".
She blinked, "May I ask if I served in the Qin Family Army before?"
Gang Qiangzhi was very surprised, his eyes widened like cattle, "How did the girl know?"
Qin Yuwang accepted the medicine, "My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Yuwang. I am the legitimate daughter of Wuhou Mansion. This person is my husband, the fourteenth son of the current dynasty, His Highness the Night King."
Upon hearing this, Gang Qianzhi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "I don't know if it's the Second Young Lady and His Highness, so you are so negligent! But how could you appear there?"
Qin Yuwang shook his head, "It's a long story. Can you help me send a letter to Wuhou's mansion and send someone to pick us up?"
Gang Qianzhi thought for a while, "It shouldn't be that troublesome. To be honest, this is Wu Zhao County, and it is also the hometown of Xiaomin. When I passed by the other side yesterday, I saw a large number of colleagues searching and rescuing in the mountains. Now it seems that it should be Wu Zhao People from the Hou Mansion. I will inform them right away."
Qin Yuwang turned to look at Ye Niansi, slowly took off his clothes, and looked at the horrific wounds on his body.Even though she didn't like him at all, the injury that was reflected in her bones made her heart hurt inexplicably.
She recalled her grandma's comforting and admonishing words, saying that Ye Niansi's life experience was very difficult and that she should never feel pity or be tempted by him.
Of course she won't fall in love with him.But... in such a miserable life, will he still follow the fate set by Tan Yuwang for him, fall in love with her because she is good, and give up the fight for his legitimate son?
After sleeping for about three days and experiencing several twists and turns of high fever and hypothermia, Ye Niansi slowly opened his eyes one morning after taking a deep breath.
At this glance, it seems like a lifetime away.
The injuries on his body were very painful, and he could hardly breathe normally, but every part was bandaged, and it was not as exposed as before.
He forced himself on the bed and slowly sat up. It was still a familiar cabin, with pink decoration and plain rosewood furniture. He returned to Tan's Mansion.
In the next few days, he was approved to live in the south courtyard, and his room was next door to Qin Yuwang's. He didn't see her for seven days in a row.
It was approaching the first month of the year, and everyone in the house seemed to have something to do, but he seemed out of place. No one joked with him, scolded him, or made things difficult for him.
He was sitting on the attic, holding in his hand the copy of "The Art of War" that he had never put down, but he couldn't help but look out the window.Liu Ye said that Qin Yuwang's injury was not that serious and he was called into the palace before he woke up. She didn't know what he was doing specifically.
His deep black eyes had never exuded a hint of boredom like now. He lowered his head and looked at the book. His black eyes glanced at a neat stack of "Records of Meditation" by the window. He stretched out his slender hand. I counted exactly ten volumes.
He randomly picked out a book and looked at it from top to bottom. Just when he was about to turn the page, he seemed to remember something. He put down the book and unnaturally stretched out a finger and pressed on the first word. , read on word by word.
Before lunch arrived, there were footsteps outside the door. Ye Niansi heard the pretentious voice, and his black eyes glanced aside slightly, without looking back, but continued to look at the "Record of Meditation" in his hand intently.
Qin Yuwang tiptoed behind him, and just as he was about to scare him, Ye Niansi suddenly turned around, raised his chin slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Second Miss, are you okay?"
Qin Yuwang smiled awkwardly, "This man is really disappointing." 】
"Dang-dang-dang!" She took out a cage from behind, "Have a try! This is what I brought back from the palace!" She opened the lid and found six cute little white rabbit glutinous rice cakes inside.
Qin Yuwang lay stretched out on the bay window and sighed, "Oh, I've been exhausted these past few days. You don't even know that just to be the poetess at the palace banquet, I actually have to go to training in advance. Where?" Remember it! I’m really convinced.”
Ye Niansi looked at the little white rabbit, its red face, pink ears, and black agate-like eyes, it was really very realistic.
Qin Yuwang stood up and said, "But after the family banquet, the winning poet girl will be rewarded with tens of thousands of taels, which can be regarded as lucky money. Your Highness, do you have any New Year gifts you want?"
Ye Niansi's black eyes turned to her slightly and said coldly, "No."
Qin Yuwang stood up and sat next to him, "Don't be such a spoiler. You can think about it first and don't rush to reply to me. By the way, I found a good place today! I'll take you there!"
"I'm not going." Ye Niansi frowned slightly and resisted.
"It's not up to you!" Tan Yuwang grabbed him and ran away.
A small temple opened on Zhengyang Street. Many people went in with incense to worship. There was a big Buddha inside, with shining golden light and Buddha's light spreading everywhere.
Ye Niansi looked at her with dark eyes, "The good place you mentioned is right here." He turned and left.
Qin Yuwang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Let's go in and pay our respects. We can also seek Buddhahood. Come quickly."
Tan Yuwang just pulled him in.
Ye Niansi rarely sets foot in such places, he never believes in this.If gods and Buddhas could protect him, how could he end up in his current situation.
Tan Yuwang took him to sit down in front of a master, bought two merit books, and asked the master to write their names.
Qin Yuwang put one of the books in Ye Niansi's hand and gave him a pen, "You can write down some wishes and blessings and ask for God's blessing!"
On the long mahogany table, Tan Yuwang was on this side, and Ye Niansi was on the other side. He looked at Tan Yuwang writing furiously, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Tan Yuwang wrote in the merit book: [Yeniansi, safe, obedient, sensible, loves his wife, healthy, not injured, not plotted, happy, laughs often, does not read military books, learn to love, don't cause trouble, don't let dad Don’t like...Jinghe 13th year, twelfth lunar month 28th]
Ye Niansi looked at the merit book and raised his hand to write, but stopped when the ink stained the paper.
He also wrote a book of merit and deeds, praying for peace for the Yu Dynasty, for his father, and for the Lan family.
Unfortunately, none of these three things are destined to lead to peace in the end.Therefore, what he wrote below was not a prayer.He didn't know what it was either.He only knows that everything that ordinary people can do and possess will always be at a discount when it comes to him.
This was probably the fate of the child of suffering, and he accepted it.
He put down his pen and closed the merit book with his big palm.This place was so pious and filled with well-meaning people inside and outside, but it aroused anger in his heart.They all hoped that the people in the merit book would live, but he was looking forward to the death of the people in the merit book he once wrote, his only flesh and blood relatives.
(End of this chapter)
Two fast horses were dragging a palace carriage, galloping on the rugged mountain road. The horses' bodies were marked by bloody whip marks, and they were running forward like crazy.
In the sedan, Ye Niansi held on to the sedan seat tightly, barely able to stabilize his body, but his whole body was covered with bruises. His black eyes looked at the bleeding wound on his left arm. Amidst the violent shaking, he fiercely He pinched the proximal end of his arm, and blood flowed out, leaving some faint traces of blood on the snow.
"Come on! Come on!" Zhuan Qiu followed the sedan on horseback, his eyes bulging out excitedly, and he grinned crazily. In his strong hand, he held a whip with a thick wrist. If the horse moves slightly slowly, the vicious whip will follow.
The horseshoes were soaked with blood, and the carriage rushed like light and shadow on the rugged mountain road. It almost rolled over several times and was blocked by rocks on the edge of the cliff.
There is a vast expanse of white everywhere, making it easy to be dazzled.
"Third brother, this is really fun," Chen Fu followed closely behind on horseback. The wind whistled in his ears. It gradually began to snow on the mountain. Tiny snow particles kept getting into his eyes. He narrowed his narrow eyes slightly. A pair of eyes said, "Bago, let's just stop ahead. If you play like the third brother, won't you kill that kid?"
Min Shu, who was riding side by side with him, laughed wildly, his eyes full of disdain. He rolled his eyes at Chen Fu, "How many people have died at your hands? Why are you pretending to be compassionate at this time? It's not the two of us who killed them. Nothing is blocked by your third brother!"
Chen Fu smiled evilly. He glanced at the surrounding mountains. They were walking very fast. They were already halfway up the mountain of Xumo Mountain and were about to reach Jueming Cliff. He accelerated quickly and jumped onto the deck of the carriage. Both arms tightened the reins, "Hey!——"
A sharp howl passed through the snowy sky with howling cold wind. The carriage stopped on the road. Zhuanqiu, who was riding a horse next to him, was very unhappy. After getting off the horse, he hit the stone with a whip, startling the horse, "You What are you doing? I haven’t had enough fun yet!"
Chen Fu walked up to him with a helpless smile, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered, "Third brother, we can't play anymore. Look at the sky, it's going to be night soon." He lowered his voice even more, his eyes slightly stained. He glanced fearfully at the surrounding mountain peaks, "This Xuyu Mountain, nicknamed Wolf Mountain, is hunted every autumn, but no one can crawl out from under the wolf's mouth alive!"
He suddenly patted Zhuan Qiu, who seemed to be frightened. "Are you afraid?"
Zhuan Qiu was really stunned, and then nodded hurriedly, "Afraid, afraid! Then let's leave quickly!"
"That's it!" Chen Fu turned around and mounted his fast horse. When he looked forward, Min Shu waved to them, indicating that they should go quickly. The sense of smell of wild wolves is very keen. Jueming Cliff is where the wolf's den is. As long as he smells At the slightest whiff of live meat, wolves will immediately surround you.
Zhuan Qiu got on the horse and said, "Wait a minute, twelfth brother, what about the fourteenth brother?" He reined in the reins, stood next to the sedan, and scratched the back of his head.
Chen Fu helplessly held up his forehead and explained to him with a smile, "Third brother, aren't we just here to 'congratulate' the fourteenth brother on his wedding!" He didn't even know what this idiot was asking.
"But the mother-in-law said that wolves are very ferocious animals and can eat people. If the fourteenth brother is left here, won't he die?" Zhuan Qiu asked with a puzzled look on his face, but also stubbornly refused to leave.
In the distance, Min Shu put his hands on his left and right cheeks and shouted in this direction, "Are your heads stuck on your butt? Are you waiting to die if you don't leave!?"
If it weren't for the purpose of dragging someone to blame, Chen Fu would really not want to bring this scumbag to work. He frowned and rolled his eyes, "Third brother, the three of us are here to play games with the fourteenth brother. The wolf is coming soon." This game is the most fun. You said we are older brothers, do we have to give way to our younger brothers?"
Zhuan Qiu thought for a moment and scratched his head, "It seems so."
"What are you talking about? Let's go! Drive!" Master Chen came up and frightened his horse with a whip. "Ah - slow down! Slow down!" Zhuan Qiu quickly turned towards Min Shu. went.
Master Chen drove the horse and turned sideways to look at the carriage that was about to fall apart. He sneered and thought to himself, "Night King, don't blame anyone. You are going out to hunt with us in the capital. This is Langshan." When the capable come out, the weak will perish. If you grab something that you shouldn't grab, this is what you will end up with. 】
Immediately, the three of them quickly went down the mountain. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, it became dark. The three of them quickly returned to the capital. Half an hour later, they stopped in front of the Piaohong Building, holding a few brothel girls in their arms. Elegant room.
For a moment mountain.
Ye Niansi remembered that the name of this mountain was given by Emperor Gaozu Xiao Jue himself when the Yu Dynasty unified the five kingdoms and established the capital 300 years ago.
One day in the mountains seems like years, which means that when people who go up the mountain can come down safely again, they feel as if they have been on the mountain for a year, which shows the torture.
The carriage had fallen apart, and the horse pulling the carriage was taken away by the three people. Ye Niansi tried his best to climb out of the carriage rolling on the edge of the cliff, and what he saw was a road with no end in sight.
The sky was gradually darkening. He looked around with his dark eyes. He saw an abyss beneath his feet. There were two roads on the left, one of which should be the road up the mountain just now. There was only one road on the right, which should lead directly to the place they said. " "Destiny Cliff".
A gust of cold wind blew up and rolled up his thin clothes. The wound on his arm continued to bleed. His dark eyes were dizzy, his lips were withered and white, and his complexion was already pale and blue from the cold.
No, he had to wake up at this time. He knelt down, picked up a large handful of snow, opened his collar, and poured it in hard. A biting coldness made him sober up. When he touched his face, he felt a little sticky. Yes, when I looked at my hand again, it turned out to be blood.
No wonder he felt dizzy. It turned out that he had hit his head on the carriage, the blood was frozen on his face, and his cheeks had lost all feeling from the cold.
He looked around, picked up a wooden stick as thick as an arm from his feet, supported himself and prepared to walk forward to see if the blood stains he left along the way were still there.
But in front of him, no matter which road he was on, it was all white. The snow was falling so heavily that his frost-stained eyelashes could hardly see the farther road. However, the road in front of him was pure white, with not even a trace of it. A trace of blood.
He remembered that it took an hour from the time they started going up the mountain to the time they stopped. According to the difference in temperature between the mountain and the bottom, the height here was at least a thousand feet. Such a long winding mountain road had many forks. If there were no blood stains Marked, he could not go down the mountain.
This thought caused a slight flash of despair in his dark eyes, but that look was fleeting. He had to walk down this mountain alive.
Ye Niansi bent over and looked for two stones on the roadside, picked up some branches and took them to a nearby small cave. He held the stone tightly with his slender fingers and rubbed the two stones repeatedly, hundreds of times. Finally, with a "crack" sound, a branch was ignited.
With barely a trace of warmth in his hand, Ye Niansi rolled up his sleeves and brought the flame close to his wound, "prick, prick, prick"... The flesh of the wound was constantly being burned, and the blood that was originally gurgling, slowly flowed out with the wound. It was scorched hard and gradually stopped.
Ye Niansi's expression was not too troubled. In the past, when there was no medicine to stop the bleeding, this was a method he often used.The blood on his forehead clotted quickly, so there was no need to use it. After a moment, he immediately stamped out the flames.
He looked outside with dark eyes, and it was completely dark.In the surrounding valleys, the howls of wolves suddenly came one after another.This is the sound of wolves.
If it is a wolf, you can use a torch to drive it away. If it is a pack of wolves, lighting a fire or making smoke will only speed up the discovery of the wolf. A pack of wolves is not afraid of torches.
He looked at his wound. The wolf was very sensitive to the smell of blood. Even though he had stopped the bleeding, in this almost barren mountain, the smell of a living person was a great temptation to the Wolf King's taste buds. .
He can't stay here.
The heavy snow fell one after another, and he ran out with his injuries, and at the fork in the road, he chose a path at random.But just after running a few steps, he was blocked.
Two pure white snow wolves were coming from the opposite side of him. Their green vertical eyes stared straight at him with extremely sinister eyes. They stopped unhurriedly, and their fangs were as sharp as cold blades. , a few strings of halazi dripped down.
Ye Niansi's black eyes were slightly startled, and he turned around quickly, only to find that he was surrounded by a group of about ten snow wolves. They were not far from him, but they blocked all possible escape routes for him. Even near the cliff on one side, there were wolves occupying that position.
Ye Niansi's hands in his sleeves were slightly clenched, his dark eyes cold.
Wolves are the only animals that are not driven by the witch doctor clan. They have no trust in humans and have an extremely perverted desire for any body. They are a species that cannot be ruled by nature.It seems that it will be difficult for him to leave this place today.
Suddenly, several wolves ran towards him, grabbed two pieces of meat from his legs and hands, and then ran quickly into the wolf pen, repeating the cycle.Ye Niansi did not dodge, but persisted for a moment, and his thin bones were exposed.
He knelt on the ground with one knee, his body was full of wounds, and wolves kept biting off just a piece of meat from his back, waist, abdomen, arms, and thighs, holding it in his mouth and rushing to the other side. A cry of great excitement.
He used his last bit of strength to raise his black eyes, watching them all forgetfully tasting his meat and casting covetous glances at him. The corners of his lips tilted slightly, and a fierceness surged in his eyes.
"Then let us die together." His dark eyes were burning, even though his body was riddled with holes, he was not afraid.He once took the gallbladder of a flower python, a cold substance that is highly poisonous to wolves.They eat his flesh and suck his blood, so they will not live long.
The cold wind howled, blowing the thin clothes on his body.
This is his fate.
At the last moment, the leading wolf king made a leap towards him. Ye Niansi turned his face and stared straight at the ferocious wolf with his black eyes. At the moment when he closed his eyes in despair——
Whoosh! ——
He opened his eyes, and an arrow flew from a distance and pierced the snow wolf's throat directly!Snow Wolf fell to the ground and lost his breath with a howl.
He turned around abruptly.
"Your Highness the Night King, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!" Tan Yuwang shouted at him.
The cold wind howled, and among dozens of wolves, she was wearing a peach-pink dress and a long bright moon-white mink cloak. She held up a huge Qingyue sky-breaking bow in her left hand, with arrows falling like rain. It falls with such precision, with a sharp silver light, and the sound that penetrates the air is as sweet as silk and bamboo, but it can make the rampaging wolves flee in a moment.
Ye Niansi looked at her with dark eyes. For some reason, the ends of his eyes were red. The wounds on his body that were almost numb at first became painful. He even felt a faint sense of betrayal and anger towards the three people. His emotions, wrapped in grievances and helplessness, despair and pain, made him frantically want to talk to her at that moment.He didn't even understand why it happened.
Qin Yuwang came riding Lan Yin. She held his hand tightly beside Ye Niansi and took him on the horse, "Lanyin, run!"
The violent bumps on the horse's back made it difficult for Ye Niansi to steady himself. Tan Yuwang took his hand and wrapped it around his waist. While driving the horse wildly, he said loudly to him, "Your Highness, hold me tight, we are going down the mountain." !”
Ye Niansi lowered his dark eyes, gently tightened his hand, and placed his fingertips in front of her slender waist.He looked at the thin and weak shoulders, and a fleeting thought of wanting to rely on him flashed through his body, but it was dissipated amidst the violent bumps and extreme cold.
The wolves did not flee, but scattered. After seeing them running away, a snow wolf jumped out of the haystack first, ran to the alpha wolf that was shot to death by Qin Yuwang, and stuck out its tongue. Licking its wounds.But the Wolf King's body had stiffened, and he didn't even close his eyes.
She is the wife of the wolf king, the most noble woman among the wolves. At this moment, the snow wolves appear again in small groups behind her. She opens her blood-red eyes wide, opens her fangs, and stabs her husband deeply into his throat. He pulled out the arrow fiercely and held it in his mouth.
Its eyes were fierce, the moonlight illuminated the tail of the silver fir arrow, and streaks of silver light shone on its ruthless face. "Ouch - Woo -" it bit the arrow and roared towards the sky. The extremely sad voice was so penetrating that the remaining snow towering into the clouds on the mountain was crumbling.
It started to take another shortcut and pursued in the direction of Qin Yuwang. The call just now had summoned wolves from all over the Xuyu Mountain for it in just a moment, not just snow wolves, but also wolves with longer fangs. Red wolves, extremely ferocious coyotes, and the most widespread jackals, thousands of wolves, began to surround all the roads going down the mountain at the fastest speed.
Qin Yuwang drove the horse and kept running. Ye Niansi tilted his ears slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his black eyes, and the wolf's voice disappeared.He once read a book called "Wild Forest Miscellaneous Notes", which said that after a wolf has a prey target, it will no longer howl.When there is no target, they will use one after another wolf howl to talk to each other on different hills.
"No, you have to stop, you can't go along this road." Ye Niansi slightly tightened the hand holding Qin Yuwang. Although Qin Yuwang was confused, he stopped in time, "Why? But there is only this way down the mountain. ah."
Ye Niansi dismounted, unable to stand still because of his injuries. He looked at the dark darkness in front of him, which was very quiet, especially since it was snowing, and the entire mountain forest was silent.
There are many wolves here, and their arrival must have been known to them. No one is more familiar with this Xuyu Mountain than the wolves.This kind of silence is abnormal. It doesn't look like a pursuit, but like an ambush.
His guess was correct. Just one kilometer in front of them, thousands of wolves had blocked the entire road from there to the descent. They were silent in the grass on both sides of the road, surrounded by snow, forests, trees, and shrubs. As a cover, with his vertical eyes glowing and full of energy, the Snow Wolf clan became even more angry.
Everything is ready, just waiting for them to come to your door.
"What should we do? Should we run up the mountain?" Qin Yuwang supported him and looked nervously at the injuries all over his body. She hung his arm on her shoulders and looked at his pale face, "Let's find someone first. Here, let me help you take care of the wound."
Ye Niansi glanced around, and walked one kilometer up the mountain with Tan Yuwang. At a higher place, he could see the way down the mountain a little more clearly.
"It looks very peaceful like this. Where will they ambush?" Tan Yuwang took off the package from Lan Yin's body and was about to take out the medicine when Ye Niansi looked into the sky with his black eyes. There was a wild goose flying in the sky.
"Can you see that bird?" He asked, and Qin Yuwang raised his eyes, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Knock it down." Ye Niansi said lightly. Due to excessive blood loss, his vision was a little blurred and he couldn't see clearly. He only felt that the bird was very far away.
Although Qin Yuwang didn't know why he did this, she still raised the Qingyue Sky-breaking Bow, mounted the silver fir arrow, aimed her left eye at the wild goose, and kept moving in the direction of its flight, "Whoosh! -" The arrow pierced the air, and the wild goose screamed miserably, falling straight down like a kite with its string broken, landing just not far from the way they went down the mountain.
"That's it," she put down her bow and arrow, a cold light flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.
The seriously injured goose fell down, and in just a moment, dense wolves rushed forward. Before the goose landed, it was bitten to pieces. After the wolf grabbed the food, it quickly hid in the grass.
Tan Yuwang's hand holding the bow was trembling slightly.She frowned and looked at Ye Niansi.
If they had taken a few dozen steps forward, they would have been stripped to the ground and only bones would be left.
Ye Niansi looked at the situation on the mountain road expressionlessly.
Qin Yuwang opened the package, which contained the dry food they had not finished during their last trip to Kunlunxu, as well as the piece of beef jerky.She took out the beef jerky, tore it open and handed it to Ye Niansi. Before the man could react, the food was already in his mouth.
He frowned and chewed a few times, which was really tiring.Every time I swallowed, the pain in my back hurt.
Qin Yuwang twisted her waist left and right, feeling something strange in her waist, and suddenly remembered something. She took out half a bunch of candied haws from the pocket on her chest, tore open the small candy wrapper and handed it to Ye Niansi.
Ye Niansi looked at her with black eyes, then frowned at the translucent red fruit.
"It's not poisonous," Qin Yuwang looked at him with sharp eyes, opened his mouth and bit off one, "It's specially reserved for you."
Ye Niansi raised his hand to take it, his black eyes lowered, and he shook the bunch of candied haws, "I didn't doubt that."
While he was eating, Qin Yuwang inspected the wounds on his body.
A piece of flesh was bitten off in seven or eight places, and the wounds were all torn. She raised her eyes to look at him, but Ye Niansi didn't say a word of pain.She frowned, poured the golden sore medicine on the gauze, and then gently wrapped the wound.
Qin Yuwang took out the map she had just asked for from the package, and looked at it carefully under the cold moonlight. Ye Niansi glanced at the piece of paper. One road up the mountain to Jueming Cliff, and two roads down the mountain were clearly visible. , there is no other way to go.
Qin Yuwang frowned and saw the wolves at the bottom of the mountain approaching the mountain little by little. "We have to go up the mountain quickly. They will find us soon."
She stood up and pulled Ye Niansi's arm with both hands. He did not move. His dark eyes were slightly lowered and his lips were pale. His voice was clear and cold, "I smell of blood. You take me with you. It's doomed." I can't run away. You shouldn't have come to save me."
Qin Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Who made you my unlucky husband?" She used all her strength to help him get on the horse, and then she also rode on it. She looked at the direction of the approaching wolves with her almond-shaped eyes, "We can only go up the mountain. There is one path to choose from. If today is so unlucky and we both die," she turned her head, "you have to wait for me at the entrance of Naihe Bridge. I will still have to take care of you in the next life."
Ye Niansi glanced at her with a complicated look in his black eyes. Tan Yuwang's whip was covered with felt. She whipped it down, and Lan Yin ran forward up the mountain.
The wolves never found any trace of them. The wolf's wife jumped up to the top of a nearby hill. She looked down at the entire mountainside with her green vertical eyes. She could see far and far away. She could smell the person who killed her husband. Not far away, it looked up the mountain and rushed over, followed by thousands of wolves.
They originally thought it would take at least some time, but unexpectedly, the process of rushing to the cliff of death was faster than they imagined.
When they were about to reach the top of Xuzhen Mountain, wolves surrounded him from all directions. The snow-white female wolf looked straight at Qin Yu. Ye Niansi subconsciously raised his hand to protect her neck. The wound on his left arm was bitten open again. He There was a slight frown between his eyebrows.Lan Yin evaded the attack of the wolves very quickly. When she was about to reach the cliff of death, she could not turn back. The wolves behind her rushed up with eager eyes. At the moment of life and death, Lan Yin glanced down and her eyes lit up. He jumped down resolutely.
Ye Niansi held Tan Yuwang tightly in his arms and closed his eyes.
They fell rapidly, passing through the silent night sky, disrupting the flying snow. The she-wolf stood on the edge of the cliff, raising her head and roaring to the sky.
"Ouch - ow -, ow - ow -"
Qin Wuhou Mansion.
The night was deep, but the lights on Zhengyang Street were brightly lit. Hundreds of armored men lined up outside the gate of Wuhou Mansion, each wearing moon-white armor, and the lowest rank was a fifth-grade general.
Six teams outside the capital, totaling more than [-] elite soldiers, headed straight for Xuyu Mountain with weapons and baggage at an accelerating speed of thousands of miles.
In the main hall of the mansion, Qin Yu was sitting on a carved bamboo chair. His hair seemed to have turned white overnight. He closed his eyes and held his temple with one hand, calmly waiting for the results.
On the chairs next to them, Chen Fu and Min Shu were sitting on pins and needles. They looked at Zhuan Qiu, who was looking around with curiosity in his eyes. The panic in his eyes was even more difficult to hide.
Master Chen spoke first, smiling apologetically and not daring to speak too loudly, "Master Hou, the fourteenth brother... really wanted to go hunting with us. He went as soon as the Third Emperor called him, right? Come on, Brother Huang!"
Min Shu elbowed Zhuan Qiu, who nodded hurriedly, "Yes! Yes!"
"So this matter really has nothing to do with us. How do we know what Langshan is..." Chen Fu complained.
Min Shu remained silent, one leg resting on the other. Even if Tan Yuwang and Ye Niansi died on the mountain today, there was nothing he could do to Tan Yu.
"Gu, Gu..." Zhuan Qiu's stomach rang. He looked around and pointed at a slave, "You, go and get some food for me! I want to eat tart cakes, braised tofu, and bone soup." , barley cake, braised pork ribs, crayfish and salt-baked chicken! Go quickly! I’m hungry!”
The servants around them clenched their fists and stared at them angrily. The maid did not speak, but looked at Qin Yu.
Tan Yu opened his eyes and stared into the distance. A figure walked in in the darkness. Tan Yun walked in and knelt on one knee with a solemn expression. "Father, the first group of people have arrived at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is very big in a moment." , about half the capital."
Qin Yu stood up slowly and took out a copper-colored talisman from his sleeve. The three people sitting on the chair immediately looked straight.
It was a tiger talisman made of pure gold inside and bronze on the surface. It was only half the size of a palm. It was a symbol of the unique military power of the Yu Dynasty.
He stretched out his hand, Qin Yun's palms were facing up, his hands were above his head, Qin Yu put the tiger talisman in his hand, his voice was cold and cold, "I order you to mobilize fifty thousand knights, and within one day, Even if I want to level Mount Xuma, I still have to find these two people."
Qin Yun received the order, "General, I obey! Wu Hou is waiting for good news!" After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Min Shu and Chen Fu looked at each other, and he looked at Qin Yu with some disdain, "Master Marquis, your formation is too exaggerated. It's just two people. I'm afraid this deployment of troops is out of proportion."
Chen Fu found that Marquis Wu was not that easy to talk to, so he said nothing.
Tan Yu stood in front of them with his hands clasped behind his back, and cast a stern glance sideways. The look in his eyes was even more threatening. He felt a cold wind rushing down his back after looking at them for a second time.
"Princes, when my good daughter and son-in-law come back, I will give you a good banquet."
Min Shu smiled, he knew it, and he didn't dare to do anything even if he tried.
Qin Yu's eyes darkened and he sat on the chair, "If I can't come back, I will also treat you to a banquet for the three of you. But the meal will be different."
He raised his hand slightly and looked at the three of them, "My Qin family rarely holds funerals. If Bai Ling is hung up in my Qin family this time," his eyes were cold but his voice was calm, "I guarantee that all the funerals in Kyoto will be held. In every household, no one can live through this situation and 13 years safely. The people in my Tan family died of humiliation without a chance. If one person dies, I, Tan Yu, will have thousands of people buried with him."
He slowed down his speech, "The first to bear the brunt is that the three princes died on Wolf Mountain due to hunting. When you eat your banquet, don't forget to take an extra portion. After all, it is unprecedented for anyone to be able to eat his own funeral banquet alive. There will be no one left.”
There was no fluctuation in Qin Yu's voice, not even a rise in tone or a domineering attitude at all.He was calm and calm, as if he was talking about a very small thing, such as when to eat, when to sweep the dust, whether to clean the mouth first or the face when it dawns tomorrow... and other small things.
Min Shu was anxious, "Marquis Wu, we are all princes! Can you still take our lives?!"
Qin Yu's eyes were calm and cold. After a long silence, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Didn't the three princes want to go up the mountain on their own? Why, only you have evidence, but I don't?" His voice suddenly became majestic. , the sound was like a loud bell, ringing loudly, "Then you underestimate my Wuhou Mansion."
At this time, Min Shu couldn't laugh at all.He put down his legs silently, and when he raised his head, Chen Fu's lips were also pale, and only Zhuan Qiu was still looking around with clear eyes, thinking about when he could have dinner.
They really didn't expect that the second lady of the Qin Mansion would actually dare to take the Xuzhen Mountain on the drawing.She went to Xiao Yan and asked where they often went. Prince Xiao thought that they would definitely not be in Piaohonglou. After all, he had done something bad that day and had to find a place to hide. In the end, he took her there and was caught. I caught it accurately.
In order to avoid suspicion, Prince Xiao did not wait for Qin Yuwang to interrogate him, so he left with an excuse. No one was afraid of her arrogance. Due to the pressure, they had no choice but to tell her. The drawing of Xuyu Mountain on her body was also She snatched away.
They thought that a woman wouldn't have the courage to say anything. Besides, wasn't she her childhood sweetheart with Xiao Yan before?She was cut off by the marriage-gifted sword, but luckily they still respectfully called her sister-in-law.
Now the two of them are looking forward to it. It doesn't matter whether Niansi lives or lives that night, but Tan Yuwang must not have anything happen to him, otherwise they may not be able to get out of the Tan Wuhou Mansion.
At dawn, the snow stopped.
When Qin Yuwang woke up, his eyes were filled with white.
She fluttered her eyelashes slightly, feeling like she was still alive?
She tried to breathe, and gradually felt a hint of coldness on her hands.
She is really alive!
She slowly opened her eyes wide, and the sky she saw was white and snowy. It was not as clear as it was, and it was not as blue as it was rumored to be.It was still gray, as if nothing in the world had changed.
But they survived.
She was overjoyed and hurriedly sat up, only to find that the cold thing in her hand was not snow, but a man's hand.
Ye Niansi lay next to her, his whole body frozen.His handsome and thin face was as pale as dead water, there was no blood on his lips, and the scars on his forehead were severe and terrifying. When he fell, he almost completely protected her body, so his whole body was covered with stabs and pokes. , scratched wounds, varying in severity.
Lan Yin had an injury on one of her legs and was licking Ye Niansi's face sadly.
Qin Yuwang stepped forward, patted both sides of his cheeks, and listened to his heart. The weak heartbeat was still there and had not disappeared.
Qin Yuwang stood up and looked around. She fell from the Jueming Cliff, but she never imagined that below was not only a rushing river, but also a huge sandy land, in which some frozen and blackened watermelon vines were buried. It's not far from here, there should be someone living here.
Just as she was thinking about it, a tall and muscular man walked past in the distance carrying a bamboo basket. Qin Yu looked at her with joy in her eyes and shouted for help, "Help! Help! -"
Gang Qianzhi walked a few steps and stopped, thinking that he had heard wrongly. He turned around, only to see two people and a horse there.
He looked at the cold and biting river water next to Shatian, with some doubts in his eyes.
A fire was lit in the hut and the temperature rose a little bit. Tan Yuwang held Ye Niansi's hand and called him anxiously by the bedside.
Gang Qianzhi came in from outside the door, holding two porcelain bottles in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, this is the medicine I used in the barracks before. Give it to your husband as soon as possible. His injury is not serious." "
Qin Yuwang smiled reluctantly, "Thank you, little brother." She picked up the porcelain vase, touched the bottom with her fingers, and touched a word. She turned it over and saw that it was the word "覃".
She blinked, "May I ask if I served in the Qin Family Army before?"
Gang Qiangzhi was very surprised, his eyes widened like cattle, "How did the girl know?"
Qin Yuwang accepted the medicine, "My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Yuwang. I am the legitimate daughter of Wuhou Mansion. This person is my husband, the fourteenth son of the current dynasty, His Highness the Night King."
Upon hearing this, Gang Qianzhi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "I don't know if it's the Second Young Lady and His Highness, so you are so negligent! But how could you appear there?"
Qin Yuwang shook his head, "It's a long story. Can you help me send a letter to Wuhou's mansion and send someone to pick us up?"
Gang Qianzhi thought for a while, "It shouldn't be that troublesome. To be honest, this is Wu Zhao County, and it is also the hometown of Xiaomin. When I passed by the other side yesterday, I saw a large number of colleagues searching and rescuing in the mountains. Now it seems that it should be Wu Zhao People from the Hou Mansion. I will inform them right away."
Qin Yuwang turned to look at Ye Niansi, slowly took off his clothes, and looked at the horrific wounds on his body.Even though she didn't like him at all, the injury that was reflected in her bones made her heart hurt inexplicably.
She recalled her grandma's comforting and admonishing words, saying that Ye Niansi's life experience was very difficult and that she should never feel pity or be tempted by him.
Of course she won't fall in love with him.But... in such a miserable life, will he still follow the fate set by Tan Yuwang for him, fall in love with her because she is good, and give up the fight for his legitimate son?
After sleeping for about three days and experiencing several twists and turns of high fever and hypothermia, Ye Niansi slowly opened his eyes one morning after taking a deep breath.
At this glance, it seems like a lifetime away.
The injuries on his body were very painful, and he could hardly breathe normally, but every part was bandaged, and it was not as exposed as before.
He forced himself on the bed and slowly sat up. It was still a familiar cabin, with pink decoration and plain rosewood furniture. He returned to Tan's Mansion.
In the next few days, he was approved to live in the south courtyard, and his room was next door to Qin Yuwang's. He didn't see her for seven days in a row.
It was approaching the first month of the year, and everyone in the house seemed to have something to do, but he seemed out of place. No one joked with him, scolded him, or made things difficult for him.
He was sitting on the attic, holding in his hand the copy of "The Art of War" that he had never put down, but he couldn't help but look out the window.Liu Ye said that Qin Yuwang's injury was not that serious and he was called into the palace before he woke up. She didn't know what he was doing specifically.
His deep black eyes had never exuded a hint of boredom like now. He lowered his head and looked at the book. His black eyes glanced at a neat stack of "Records of Meditation" by the window. He stretched out his slender hand. I counted exactly ten volumes.
He randomly picked out a book and looked at it from top to bottom. Just when he was about to turn the page, he seemed to remember something. He put down the book and unnaturally stretched out a finger and pressed on the first word. , read on word by word.
Before lunch arrived, there were footsteps outside the door. Ye Niansi heard the pretentious voice, and his black eyes glanced aside slightly, without looking back, but continued to look at the "Record of Meditation" in his hand intently.
Qin Yuwang tiptoed behind him, and just as he was about to scare him, Ye Niansi suddenly turned around, raised his chin slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Second Miss, are you okay?"
Qin Yuwang smiled awkwardly, "This man is really disappointing." 】
"Dang-dang-dang!" She took out a cage from behind, "Have a try! This is what I brought back from the palace!" She opened the lid and found six cute little white rabbit glutinous rice cakes inside.
Qin Yuwang lay stretched out on the bay window and sighed, "Oh, I've been exhausted these past few days. You don't even know that just to be the poetess at the palace banquet, I actually have to go to training in advance. Where?" Remember it! I’m really convinced.”
Ye Niansi looked at the little white rabbit, its red face, pink ears, and black agate-like eyes, it was really very realistic.
Qin Yuwang stood up and said, "But after the family banquet, the winning poet girl will be rewarded with tens of thousands of taels, which can be regarded as lucky money. Your Highness, do you have any New Year gifts you want?"
Ye Niansi's black eyes turned to her slightly and said coldly, "No."
Qin Yuwang stood up and sat next to him, "Don't be such a spoiler. You can think about it first and don't rush to reply to me. By the way, I found a good place today! I'll take you there!"
"I'm not going." Ye Niansi frowned slightly and resisted.
"It's not up to you!" Tan Yuwang grabbed him and ran away.
A small temple opened on Zhengyang Street. Many people went in with incense to worship. There was a big Buddha inside, with shining golden light and Buddha's light spreading everywhere.
Ye Niansi looked at her with dark eyes, "The good place you mentioned is right here." He turned and left.
Qin Yuwang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Let's go in and pay our respects. We can also seek Buddhahood. Come quickly."
Tan Yuwang just pulled him in.
Ye Niansi rarely sets foot in such places, he never believes in this.If gods and Buddhas could protect him, how could he end up in his current situation.
Tan Yuwang took him to sit down in front of a master, bought two merit books, and asked the master to write their names.
Qin Yuwang put one of the books in Ye Niansi's hand and gave him a pen, "You can write down some wishes and blessings and ask for God's blessing!"
On the long mahogany table, Tan Yuwang was on this side, and Ye Niansi was on the other side. He looked at Tan Yuwang writing furiously, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Tan Yuwang wrote in the merit book: [Yeniansi, safe, obedient, sensible, loves his wife, healthy, not injured, not plotted, happy, laughs often, does not read military books, learn to love, don't cause trouble, don't let dad Don’t like...Jinghe 13th year, twelfth lunar month 28th]
Ye Niansi looked at the merit book and raised his hand to write, but stopped when the ink stained the paper.
He also wrote a book of merit and deeds, praying for peace for the Yu Dynasty, for his father, and for the Lan family.
Unfortunately, none of these three things are destined to lead to peace in the end.Therefore, what he wrote below was not a prayer.He didn't know what it was either.He only knows that everything that ordinary people can do and possess will always be at a discount when it comes to him.
This was probably the fate of the child of suffering, and he accepted it.
He put down his pen and closed the merit book with his big palm.This place was so pious and filled with well-meaning people inside and outside, but it aroused anger in his heart.They all hoped that the people in the merit book would live, but he was looking forward to the death of the people in the merit book he once wrote, his only flesh and blood relatives.
