Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 216 Tune the tiger away from the mountain·Night attack
There was nothing to say all night, when I listened to the sound of gurgling water and watched the gap in the window slowly change from darkness to light, the boat had traveled thousands of miles at night, and arrived at the port I had set before.

Walking out of the cabin, a cool river breeze blows head-on, with bursts of moist water vapor, and the flying catkins blown by the wind from the reeds on the shore, lingering around people all over the sky, like snow in winter, Gives an illusion of confusion.

Arrived.

I was only wearing a long gown and a crimson cloak and stood at the bow of the boat. Li Yan was standing beside me, holding me by his small hand, and looking ahead curiously, the boat was slowly approaching the pier.

As soon as the cold wind blows, I feel a stagnation in my chest. Before Zhaoye, my health was not very good. After I became the throne, I recovered for a while. I didn't expect to leave the palace, and I didn't bring an imperial doctor with me. My body was a little abnormal Yes, I clenched my hands into fists, blocked my mouth, and coughed lightly twice.

At this time, Yu He slowly walked to my side.

"emperor."

I turned around and saw that he was wearing a snow-white long gown, and the wind was blowing slightly, his skirt was flapping. At first glance, he looked like a fairy coming to the world. An expert in the mountains and rivers.

However, there was an uneasy gleam in the eyes of this worldly expert.

"What's the matter?"

"There is something strange."

"Oh?" I was taken aback and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"I stayed up all night last night, observing both sides of the river, and found that there are at least three groups of people following our boat all the way, their whereabouts are unknown, and their intentions are unpredictable."

I frowned slightly, and looked at the shore again. In my eyes, there was only a strange scene, and I couldn't see the slightest murderous intent, but I knew that getting Yu He to speak out seriously would prove that the situation was more serious.

"Is it from Nangong Yu?"

"Hard to say."

I was silent for a while, the boat had already approached the pier, the body of the boat shook slightly, everyone staggered a little, Yu He stretched out his hand to support me, I whispered in his ear: "According to circumstances."

He glanced at me, blinked his eyes, nodded, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

After getting off the boat, there were some people on the shore to meet them, but after all, they were going south in low clothes. Besides, the environment in Lingnan was much worse than that in the capital, and I couldn't be so particular about it. I didn't even bother to prepare a carriage. I rode all the way up the river. Didn't stop either.

In the evening, we stopped to camp on a river beach.

I didn't eat much for the whole day, but my energy was better than on the boat. It was probably because when I was riding a horse, the wind and lightning gave me a feeling of letting go. What I didn't expect was that Li Yan was not bad at equestrian skills at such a young age. After riding for a long time, I didn't cry out, and I was still very excited.

When I was sitting on the river beach and watching the people under my command set up camp and live a busy life, Li Yan ran to me and gave me some fruit to eat. I smiled and asked him: "Yan'er, you are good at equestrian skills."

"Hehe, Dad taught me."

When I mentioned his father, my smile froze for a moment, but I smiled again and said: "You have grown up too. From now on, in addition to studying every day, you should also learn to ride horses and shoot and hunt, so that you can grow into a man who stands upright."

"Yeah!" He nodded vigorously.

He turned around and entangled Yu Sui'er to play hunting games with him on horseback. Yu Sui'er called her mother when he tossed about. It is the wilderness, but it makes people have a particularly warm feeling.

In the evening, the sky was completely dark, and the vast world was completely pitch black. It seemed that only a few fires were still burning here. I drank some of the soup they brought, only Feeling insipid, he looked around, but found that Yu He was not in the crowd.

Where has he gone?
I stood up suspiciously, and saw a figure flash in front of me, and Yu He appeared mysteriously again.

The flames kept jumping, showing an uncertain expression on his face, and he walked straight over: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter, sir?"

"I just made some inquiries. In the woodland ahead, I can faintly see many figures shaking, I'm afraid they are all—"

My heart sank slightly.

This time I went south on a micro-service patrol, even if the secrecy cannot be guaranteed, there is absolutely no reason for the news to leak out so quickly. It is understandable that the assassin can follow, but they can actually set up an ambush ahead, could it be——

Looking at my gloomy face, Yu He said again: "If the enemy is in the dark, we are in the dark. If we move forward rashly, the emperor's safety may be in danger."

"What's your plan sir?"

"I plan to take advantage of the night to attack and lead people to clear the obstacles ahead."

His voice was not high, but it was enough for the surrounding people to hear. Several soldiers had turned their heads to look at him, and I silently watched him bow his hands. Ying, a little extra bright light flashed.

……

"In that case, Mr. Lao is here."

After finishing speaking, I stretched out my hand to support his arm and said, "Sir is my army guard. This time I will go south, all the soldiers can be dispatched by my husband, and my life is not involved."

"Yes!"

I turned around and walked towards the king's tent, and heard Yu He dispatching soldiers behind me. After a while, the outside became quiet, and I knew that he had already taken some of the troops away.

Li Yan stood watching from the side, and after a while came over and tugged at the corner of my clothes: "Sister Emperor, is there any danger?"

I smiled and bent down, patted his little face: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and instructed Yu Sui'er: "Until Mr. Yu He comes back, we will not move for the time being, and we will wait for him here, and tell everyone not to act alone, and follow my arrangement."

"Yes."

The night passed peacefully.

But it was calm, it was just Li Yan in my arms, a child always like this, no matter how dangerous the situation is, he can sleep soundly without any disturbance, and I listened to the patrolling footsteps outside the big tent all night, The mood is getting heavier and heavier.

The next day was also very peaceful.

At night, Li Yan saw that we hadn't moved, so he lay on my lap and asked, "Sister Emperor, we're only going to play here for two days, are we going back?"

"No, we are not in a hurry to go back, we have to move forward."

"Then why don't we go?"

I smiled: "The road ahead is uneven, Uncle Ji is going to sweep the road for us."

"Sweep the road?" Li Yan opened his eyes wide: "Why don't you let me go?"

"Silly boy!"

I rubbed his soft heart, and was about to chat and laugh with him, when suddenly, there was a commotion outside the big tent, many people were shouting loudly, and there seemed to be a faint light of fire outside the big tent.

Li Yan grabbed the corner of my clothes suspiciously: "Sister Emperor, what's going on outside?"

As soon as his words fell, there were already chaotic footsteps running from a distance, and I heard many people flocking to the king's tent, all of them were shouting loudly:

"Someone attacked at night!"

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

Night raid!

My heart tightened, and Li Yan jumped into my arms like a frightened little beast: "Sister Emperor!"

"Don't be afraid, Yan'er."

As I said, I took him behind me and walked slowly to the door. The shouts outside had become chaotic, and I could faintly hear the screams of many people. I gritted my teeth and pushed him away. The heavy curtain in front of you!
A sea of ​​fire!
In the sky, countless streams of fire landed, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a crossbow with a flaming head, which fell on the surrounding tents, landed on the ground, and plunged into the body of the person. The arrow man immediately turned into a fire man, crying and throwing himself into the river.

For a moment, the river beach became a purgatory on earth!
Li Yan poked his head out from behind me, and after just one glance, his little face turned pale with fright. I quickly reached out and pushed his head back. At this time, a group of soldiers had already run over and stopped in front of the big tent.

"The emperor is in danger, please return the account!"

As soon as the words fell, there were a few more swishes, and they fell to the ground in response to the arrows.

When those people fell to the ground, my eyes passed through the sea of ​​flames in front of me, and I saw that there seemed to be many black shadows coming towards this side among the undulating reeds in the distance, and those flames also Getting closer and closer, the scorching heat burns on the face, which is very uncomfortable.

Within a moment, there was no resistance on the river beach.

I was still standing at the entrance of the big tent. Although the arrows were as dense as rain, they seemed to miss the biggest king tent and me who was standing in front of the king tent.

I already vaguely knew who it was.

A figure appeared in the sea of ​​flames. She was wearing a dark outfit, but she was illuminated by the flames like a dark fire lotus. The long sword in her hand was dazzling with cold light. She walked towards me step by step. has arrived.

And behind her, there were many black shadows hidden in the night, only countless cold lights could be seen, all aimed at me at this moment.

Indeed she is...

As soon as the surrounding soldiers saw her appear, they immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths and stood in front of me, but this woman didn't look sideways, the long sword in her hand was like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, piercing the sky in the night, accompanied by screams , blood sprayed into the air one after another, countless people who blocked her all fell at her feet.

Before this, I have not seen her kill.

Her strength is the strongest in Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water, but at this moment, I have seen the real evil spirit of Shui Xunyou.

Within a few rounds, no one can stop her anymore, and she has already reached the distance of only ten steps away from the king's tent. One kill at ten steps, my life is hanging by her at this moment until the sword at my throat The tip was also completely pinched in her hands.

I stretched out my hand and patted Li Yan who was trembling behind me while clutching my skirt.

Shui Xunyou took a look at him. Even though the originally bright Jianshui pupils were reflecting the firelight at this moment, they were still as cold as ice, and then slowly looked at me: "Xuanyuan Xingsi, we meet again."

I said, "The person in front is the game you set up?"

She sneered and said nothing.

What a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
It seems that she has been planning for a long time, and deliberately arranged so many troops along the way. With Yu He's strength, of course, these people cannot be hidden from his eyes. She just took advantage of Yu He's point, so she cast doubts and made Yu He believe these people. They all came to assassinate me and led the men to open the way for me.

And once Yu He leaves, even if there are thousands of troops here, with her ability to find secluded waters, they will try to take my head, it's like picking something out of a bag.

However, until now, she has not done anything...

"Shui Xunyou," I looked at her, and said slowly, "I advise you to stop."

When she heard those two words, she sneered: "Stop it? At this point, you want me to stop?"

"The destruction of the White Tiger Kingdom and the death of the Shui family's army was caused by me alone, but it is also the general trend. I don't think I owe you."

"The White Tiger Kingdom is destroyed, the Shui family's army is destroyed..." She muttered these four words, and suddenly looked into my eyes with sharp eyes: "What about him?"

My hand protecting Li Yan trembled slightly.

"Where is Nangong Yazhen? Why don't you count him? Why don't you dare count him?!"

Hearing his name suddenly, there is a deafening feeling, which makes people panic in their minds.

For too long, I didn't think of that person.

No, it's not that I didn't think about it, but I didn't let myself think about it. I dare not think about whether he is alive or dead. Now he treats me with hatred or hatred. I can't figure it out. That sword started, completely cut off, and is no longer connected to my present.

However, as soon as Shui Xunyou appeared, everything was revealed.

A burst of stagnation surged up, and I coughed uncontrollably, the more I coughed, the more painful my heart became, seeing that I was about to lose my support, Li Yan hurried up from behind and held my arm: "Sister Emperor! "

"Why, are you afraid to face it?"

After finally coughing, I bent down and looked up at the woman in front of me with difficulty. Looking at those eyes filled with hatred, I suddenly realized something——

Was she forced to be bound by family interests, or was she willing?

just for that person...

My throat was a little choked, and I said with difficulty: "Shui Xunyou, if you treat him—why didn't you tell him?"

All along, she has been so indifferent in front of him, as if she was only doing the mission of the family, as if the relationship between the two of them was only of interest.

"Who told you that I didn't tell him?"

I was taken aback, looking at her almost twitching face, as if she was in unbearable pain: "I told him, I told him from the beginning, he said no, he said he would not be tempted by any woman! I believed it, so for so many years, I never asked him anything, but - after he saw you, everything changed, everything changed!"

When she said this, her eyes were already red, and she looked at me fiercely, like a bloodthirsty wolf.

"Xuanyuan Xingsi, it was you who ruined me, my relationship, my home, and my country. Tell me, should you die!"

……

"Maybe I really deserve to die, but you shouldn't be the one who judges me." I said flatly, and looked into her eyes again: "Besides, I don't want to die yet!"

I still have a lot of things to do!

"Don't want to die? It's up to you!"

As soon as the words fell, she shook her hand vigorously, and the three-foot long sword let out an ear-splitting dragon cry, and stabbed straight at me with tremendous force!
I was taken aback, and hurriedly backed away, but it was too late, Shui Xunyou's sword was close in front of me in the blink of an eye, and I could even feel the sharpness of the cold light, before the sword arrived, the sword energy had almost pierced into my chest In flesh and blood.

At that moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Before I could even react, a long sword descended from the sky, swung it fiercely in front of my eyes, the cold light immediately formed a light curtain, and only heard a crisp sound of "Dang", I forcibly blocked Shui Xunyou's sword back .

Then, a figure appeared in front of him.

Shui Xunyou was caught off guard, and took a few steps back before staggering to stand still, but when she looked up at the man standing in front of me, she was so surprised that her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it: "You—how could you ?!"

When I saw that familiar figure in my eyes, I finally relaxed my tight hands, and gently patted the child who stretched out his hands trembling badly, signaling him not to be afraid, there is no danger anymore.

He turned his head slowly, and cupped his hands towards me: "Yu He's escort came late, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

I nodded: "Mr. came back just in time."

Shui Xunyou looked at the tacit conversation between me and him, and suddenly understood, his face turned pale: "You are——you did it on purpose!"

I looked over Yu He's shoulder and looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

"Okay, Xuanyuan Xingsi, you are really amazing, and you were expected."

I smiled coldly: "You are wrong, Shui Xunyou. It's not that I'm good, but you are too blind."

Today, I am the king of the largest country in the east, and I can go south to take risks, but how can I remove my protection, let Yu He, who is the army guard, leave me, and completely expose myself to such a dangerous situation? environment.

It is impossible for any emperor to do this, and neither will I.

It's not a complicated situation, it's just that she wants to kill me so much that she won't let go of even the slightest chance. What Yu He said to me last night was a loophole for them to sell, but she didn't expect her to be eager for quick success So far, I actually believed it.

While speaking, the surrounding atmosphere has completely changed. The people Yu He took away all rushed out from the darkness at this moment, and immediately surrounded the river beach like a sea of ​​fire. When the people under Shui Xunyou saw this scene, Everyone was in a panic. Some people wanted to break out, but they were subdued immediately.

This is a win-lose game.

I turned around silently, said in a low voice "don't hurt her", then took Li Yan and walked back to Wang's tent.

The tent was put down, and through the thick tent, I heard the screams of killing outside, the crisp sound of swords clashing, and the screams of people's misery. I didn't need to look back, I knew what kind of fierce battle was going on outside. But I didn't want to see blood flowing into rivers and corpses strewn all over the field again. I just sat by the bed, hugged Li Yan in my arms, and covered his ears.

The child was probably also frightened. He looked at me with wide eyes, quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, the outside finally calmed down.

Only then did I let go of my hand, and Li Yan looked up at me with sparkling eyes, as if he hesitated to speak.

"Yan'er, what's wrong?"

"Sister Emperor, you are so powerful!" He opened his eyes wide: "Did you let Uncle Ji go on purpose, and let that fierce woman fall for it? Uncle Ji is coming back now, it is also your order, right?"

I smiled and said, "Who dares to go to Liangshan without twos and threes. Yan'er, people have to take one step and look at three steps, so that they will not stand in the position of failure."

"Without twos and threes, who would dare to go up Mount Liang?" He muttered these words, thoughtfully.

At this time, Yu He's voice came from outside the big tent:

"emperor."

All the fighting and killing shouts outside subsided, and I knew he had completely controlled the scene, so I said, "Bring it in."

The curtain was raised, and several soldiers brought in the bound Shui Xunyou.There was no injury on her body, I think the reason why Yu He spent so much time was probably because he was concerned that she was a woman, so he didn't do anything cruel, but Shui Xunyou's complexion was abnormally pale, and his breath seemed very disordered, As if he had been hit hard, he was sweating profusely.

I asked someone to take Li Yan out, and waved Yu He to watch outside. Only she and I were left in the entire king's tent.

Her eyes were still full of hatred, without any reduction.

"Shui Xunyou," I looked up at her, "If I advise you to stop, it still counts. As long as you give up fighting against me, I will let you go, and you can go anywhere as long as you don't want to fight me." appeared before my eyes."

She gritted her teeth and sneered, "What if I say no?"

"Do you still remember what I told you outside Fengxiang City?"

She froze for a moment.

Back then outside Fengxiang City, when she drew her sword against me, I once told her that not everyone who faces me with a sword can survive.

I got up slowly, walked in front of her, looked her in the eye and said, "This time, no one will kneel down for you."

She suddenly sneered: "Xuanyuan Xingsi, don't treat yourself as a good person. If he begs you, you will forgive me. Then he has done so much for you, why don't you still stab him into his heart!"

My complexion turned cold, I raised my head to look at her smug look, and said coldly: "Since you know that I am a person who turns my face and denies others, then you should know even more, I don't mind killing someone to treat Ling Shaoyu with medicine, The woman who made him do such despicable and shameless things. Shui Xunyou, just because of this, I can cut you into pieces!"

"A thousand cuts to pieces, come here!"

She was really fearless, and even looked at me provocatively, as if she really didn't care about life or death.

As for me, when I thought about that night, she almost made Shaoyu make a big mistake, not only to destroy me, but also to destroy that quiet and straightforward young man.

A mouthful of nausea came to my heart, I pulled out my dagger violently, and took a step forward to point it at her throat.

At this moment, I really want to kill her with a sword.

But the moment the sword tip touched her skin, Shui Xunyou's face suddenly changed drastically, he bent down abruptly, and let out a retching sound.

"vomit--!"

That voice sounded a bit pervasive in the spacious king's tent, but I stood in front of her, seeing her retching, and was stunned for a while.

This is--

Yu He who was outside seemed to have heard something, rushed in, but saw Shui Xunyou's face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he passed out suddenly, Yu He hurried forward to support her, but she was already unconscious personnel.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

I stood there, unresponsive for a moment, Yu He looked at me, then at Shui Xunyou's appearance, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold her wrist to check her pulse.

"what?"

Yu He's face also changed slightly, my heart sank even more, I looked at him: "She—"

"She is pregnant."
