Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 88
The shaking of the ground and mountains was very similar to the shaking of Xiaoqingshan and Mochou Lake that day. Ruiyi raised his head and looked in the direction of the explosion.

Ling Xiao ran out as soon as he pulled his legs, and ran back quickly, "Girl, the city wall was blown open."

As the city wall was forcibly blasted, Qihukou fell into chaos in an instant, and the courtyard where Rui Yi lived suddenly turned upside down, and everyone ran out.In this panic, no one can take care of Rui Yi's master and servant, they seem to be forgotten in this corner of the world.

No one cares, no one cares.

Ruiyi looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Where can we go? Can we outrun Di Rong's cavalry? If we go out, we will die." And she had a bad feeling. They sent them out, but they haven't come yet. There are only two results, either they died in battle or they were captured.

Just when Rui Yi was worried about Yan Ji, there was the sound of running footsteps in the yard. It turned out that it was the woman who brought them in that day, and she saw blood dripping from her forehead. Immediately heaved a sigh of relief, grabbed Ruiyi and said, "Miss Pei, please follow me. Vice General Zhang will ask the slaves to take you there."

Rui Yi shook his hands away and looked at the woman and said, "Okay, you will lead the way."

With surprise on his face, Ling Xiao immediately took the cloak and put it on Rui Yi, and followed the woman out.The street was in chaos, and passers-by carried their bags and led their children, running around like headless chickens.Rui Yi wrapped his cloak tightly, and following the woman into a crude carriage, Ling Xiao also jumped on it, and the carriage rolled immediately.

Ling Xiao, who was sitting in the carriage, touched his chest and said, "It's all right now, don't worry about it."

When Rui Yi heard the words, he looked at Ling Xiao's smiling face, and said softly, "Ling Xiao, you have been with me for so many years, why don't you do something for me."

"That's what the girl ordered, and the servant will definitely do it for you." Ling Xiao said, because someone was protecting her and she was in a good mood at the moment.

"Okay, let's not talk about it now, you will find out later." Rui Yi looked at the street outside the car window, there were people running for their lives everywhere, people's lives are worthless in troubled times, and they are worth less than a horse.In such a cold season, even if you escape, you don't know if you can survive the cold winter and wait until spring.

The carriage ran at a high speed, causing passers-by to yell and curse. Such bumps made Rui Yi a little uncomfortable, but the carriage stopped soon, and the gate tower arrived.

Rui Yi got out of the carriage, the woman watched Ling Xiao help Rui Yi out of the carriage, carefully looked at her face and said, "Miss Pei, Vice General Zhang is waiting for you on the tower."

Rui Yi nodded, but Ling Xiao asked suspiciously: "Didn't you send our girl out of the city? What are you doing on the gate tower?"

The mother-in-law smiled, "I don't know that, a slave is only following orders."

Ling Xiao also sensed that something was wrong and came in at this time, staring at the woman, "What do you mean?"

The woman became a little impatient when she heard Ling Xiao's questioning, she pushed her and said, "Why are there so many nonsense, if you don't want this tongue, then don't let it go."

Ling Xiao's face turned pale, at this moment Rui Yi suddenly turned to look at the woman, "You may not be able to take away her tongue, but I can take away your life, do you believe it?"

Facing Shang Ruiyi's eyes as cold as ice and snow, the woman's heart trembled, she turned her head away embarrassingly, and said in a rough voice: "We are just slaves, girl, don't embarrass me, let's go."

Rui Yi grabbed Rui Yi's sleeve, "Girl, girl, do you know something? You tell the servant, what's going on?"

Rui Yi grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and looked at her, "Just follow me, what are you afraid of?"

Ling Xiao's heart slowly settled down, yes, with their girls, there is nothing to be afraid of.Taking a deep breath, although his face was still pale, he straightened his chest and said, "Yes, I am not afraid of you."

Rui Yi took Ling Xiao's hand and walked forward, and said as he walked, "Ling Xiao, have you been serving me for ten years?"

"Yes, the servant girl came to you when she was seven or eight years old." Ling Xiao replied in a low voice.

"It's been so many years, do you want to go home?"

"Think about it, my parents, brothers and sisters are all in Yandu, and I don't know what's going on now, I'm afraid they will die if the slaves disappear." Ling Xiao was a little depressed as he spoke. Although Yandu was trapped, but The people in the city are safe and sound, and if they can't find her family members, they may die of panic.

"Do you want to go back and see them?"

"It's even a dream." Ling Xiao said, "The servant girl will go back with the girl, and we will definitely be able to go back."

"Yes, you will definitely go back." Rui Yi stepped on the end of the stone steps, the cold wind blew across his cheeks, his hood squeaked, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Lu standing by the city wall and staring outside.

The woman following behind strode forward at this moment, ran to Zhang Lu's side and whispered a few words, Ruiyi saw Zhang Lu turn around and look at her against the light, she couldn't see his face clearly, but she could Feel the sharp eyes locked on her body.

Ling Xiao followed Rui Yi, and most of the soldiers guarding the city wall were injured. At this time, many people turned their heads to look at their master and servant.But today the girl picked out a bright red fox fur cloak that the woman had prepared earlier, which made her more conspicuous.

"Deputy General Zhang." Rui Yi stepped forward, without meeting Zhang Lu's eyes, and stopped when he reached the edge of the city wall, "Where is Mr. Yan?"

Zhang Lu looked at Ruiyi fixedly, but he didn't expect her to ask Yan Ji in the first sentence. After a moment of silence, he said, "In the enemy camp opposite." At the city wall, he was captured before he could hide."

It was the first time for Rui Yi to stand on a place like the city wall. Looking ahead, he saw the enemy army gathered outside the city, lined up in formation, with battle flags fluttering in the wind, and the word "return" written on it.Even though he told himself that he was fearless, when he saw so many enemy troops outside the city wall, the orderly army was mighty and strong, and the siege equipment was lined up in front, it made people feel a great sense of fear.

There was no sign of Yan Ji.

Cold sweat slowly soaked out of the palms of his hands, Rui Yi felt that his legs were a little weak, but he still straightened his spine and asked, "Deputy General Zhang asked me to come here, why?" A man like Zhang Lu is not despicable. Little man, but letting her come here at such a time must be something big.

Zhang Lu didn't look at Rui Yi again, turned his head to look outside the city, and said word by word: "Pingyiguan is the northernmost gate of Dayan, and Qihukou is the second natural moat, and now Qihukou is besieged." , girl, do you know why?"

Rui Yi's heart skipped a beat, "Deputy General Zhang means... Pingyi Pass fell into the enemy's hands?" She knew that the border pass that Zhou Chenyi guarded was Pingyi Pass.

"Yes."

Rui Yi shook his body, almost couldn't stand up, and looked at Zhang Lu in disbelief.

Zhang Lu went on to say: "At the beginning, Di Rongjun first captured Shanglin Pass, and then captured Lin Pass. The strong soldiers and Pingyi Pass held the prince's footsteps so that he could not be reinforced. Therefore, he drove all the way straight to Yandu, and Miss Pei fell here. This has a great connection, so I don’t need to say more.”

"Yes." Rui Yi replied, not only did Di Rong drive straight in, but the key was King Shen who led the wolf into the house, and this was the culprit.

"To this day, we have lost the three cities of Shanglin Pass, Xialin Pass, and Pingyi Pass and our opponents. Now that Qihukou is about to be lost, I have already contacted the prince, who was recalled to Kyoto overnight by the emperor. According to It was originally planned that the lord should lead an army to encircle and return to Chengbi's department at this time, but he was brought back to the capital by imperial decree."

Rui Yi seemed to have a hole in her heart all of a sudden, she pursed her lips tightly and didn't ask why, but she knew that what happened next would definitely be something she couldn't even think about.

Rui Yi didn't speak, Zhang Lu was very uncomfortable, he was not good at words, at this time his expression was even more embarrassing, and he said after a while: "Miss Pei, do you know why the enemy army blasted the city wall but Didn't you force your way in?"

"My little girl doesn't know." Rui Yi could hear her own voice trembling faintly, she was afraid.Known dangers are fearless because you are prepared for them, but unknown dangers are scary because you don't know what will happen.

"because of you."

Rui Yi was shocked, and looked at Zhang Lu with a livid face, "Deputy General Zhang, please be careful." It's a serious crime to say this badly, but it is a serious crime to destroy the family.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I've never lied. Miss Pei, King Di Rong Hu Chiyan will exchange you for Pingyi Pass, Shanglin Pass, Xialin Pass, and the four cities of Qihukou. As long as you agree, Di Rong will The soldiers immediately withdrew from our Dayan land." Zhang Lu turned sideways, and stood with his hands clenched into fists, "Miss Pei, how would you choose?"

Rui Yi's body softened, and he leaned against the city wall all of a sudden, thinking about thousands of situations, but he didn't expect such a result.

"Four cities for me?" Rui Yi looked at Zhang Lu and asked, "Vice General Zhang heard right?"

"Gui Chengbi is the number one general under King Di Rong, and what he said in person will not be wrong." Zhang Ludao, "There are four cities and thousands of people, please think twice, Miss Pei."

"Where is Zhu Sanbai? Where is he? I have a marriage contract with him, does he also agree?" Rui Yi didn't know who else could save her at this moment, the only thing in his mind was Zhu Yanzhang.
