Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 247 The Last Hope

The man looked at her, then at the people who had already run away feeling anxious, seeing Duan Qingyu standing there with a dazed expression as if he had lost his mind, finally the man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and hurriedly chased after those people , leaving Duan Qingyu alone.

Duan Qingyu was looking for a higher place to stand by a pool, black smoke billowed from every place, and the choking smell came from the surroundings, blinding the eyes and making tears.

She didn't know whether the tears flowed because of anxiety or worry or because she couldn't bear the thick smoke, she stood there and looked around helplessly, where did she go, and where was he?

"Nie Wuhuan..." Regardless of the increasing number of barbarians in front of her, she finally yelled at the empty backyard of the palace, "Nie Wuhuan, come out, come out, I can't find you, come out quickly, Nie Wuhuan, come out. Come out... Without you, what should I do, where should I go, come out, come out..."

Suddenly, someone behind her grabbed her.

She turned around.

When a large black broadsword was draped across her face, her body was separated, and the pool of blood was full of Duan Qingyu's struggle and unwillingness afterward.

At noon the next day, Su Jiu finally woke up, but the scene in front of her made her tremble all over. The huge imperial city was desolate, full of flames, and an unknown number of people poured out from the gate of the imperial city, mixed with the crowd. In order to escape for their lives, officials and rich men, regardless of women and children, cried and shouted and drowned the once prosperous capital in a dead silence.

Su Jiu stood on a mound outside the city, looking around in a daze, at a loss.

"Zhou Tong..."

Zhou Tong was also missing.

"Oh, Qingqing." Su Jiu exclaimed suddenly, and was about to run into the imperial city with his long skirt in hand.All of a sudden, the eyes went dark, and a person covered in blood jumped over, "Princess Wangfei, you can't go."

"Zhou Tong, you are injured, where is the injury, show me."

"My lord, this is not the blood of my subordinates. My subordinates are not injured. Don't worry, my lord. My lord, the situation is tense right now, so I can't go in. There are all barbarians inside. Our mansion has also been burned. Now we can only ask I fled to the west, and the prince's people are waiting for us over there."

Su Jiu pushed him away, and was about to rush in, "Impossible, you lied to me, Qingqing is still inside, she is a woman, and she can't beat the barbarians in martial arts, I'm going to find her, and Xiaodie is there , I want to go find her too."

"My lord, my lord, calm down." Zhou Tong grabbed Su Jiu tightly.

Su Jiu made a fuss for a while, stood up from the ground, wiped away her tears, and finally at the moment when rationality took over, she said to Zhou Tong, "Let's go west and find a way to find Dou Qingqing when we get there."

"Yes, my subordinates have prepared the horses, and I will escort the princess all the way there."

"Only one horse?" Su Jiu looked at the scar on Zhou Tong's waist, even though he had already wrapped it with a black belt, the wound was covered with thick black water, which stained his clothes.

"There's only one flatterer."

Su Jiu grabbed the rein and said to him, "Okay, get on the horse, I'll lead the horse, let's go."

"Princess Empress!"

"What are you doing in a daze, you are injured, I will take care of you now. Don't talk nonsense, get on your horse, and if you delay the time, if the barbarians kill you, none of us will be able to escape."

Zhou Tong stood there silently.

"Hurry up, who will protect me if you die?" Su Jiu drank in a low voice.

Zhou Tong was startled, clenched his fists, stepped forward and pulled Su Jiu past, and the two of them got on the horse at the same time. Su Jiu only heard the cold wind whistling in his ears, and the horse's hoof kicked, and instantly rushed through the crowd and went to the west side. mountain road.

On the horse's back, Su Jiu still didn't forget to look back at the imperial city that had been submerged in the sea of ​​flames behind her, and her heart was filled with ashes. The incident was so sudden that she still hasn't recovered from the shock.

The imperial city fell, and Nie Wuhuan hurried after receiving the news, but he still couldn't rush to bring Su Jiu and the others back. Fortunately, Zhou Tong was always by Su Jiu's side, and the pigeons sent messages, and they were heading to He goes this way.

However, Zhou Tong did not say that he was seriously injured and his time was running out.

When Su Jiu and Zhou Tong were riding horses to escape the siege of many barbarians and refugees, something happened in the early morning of the fourth day.

Zhou Tong fell off his horse suddenly, and Su Jiu didn't yell out, nor was he surprised, because she knew that Zhou Tong had tried his best.

Looking at the big hole in his waist, Su Jiu couldn't bear to make Zhou Tong suffer anymore, so he drove him north into a mountain valley to block the wind, and fed Zhou Tong a mouthful of stream water. Toothless white bread.

"Princess, run away..."

Hearing that Zhou Tong woke up, Su Jiu was both surprised and happy, but also worried, because this was a flashback.

Su Jiu sat beside Zhou Tong silently until he finished his last sentence, "Princess Wangfei ran west."

Su Jiu hugged Zhou Tong and cried for a long time, until the person in her arms became stiff and cold, she came out from the mountain depression, and dug a deep hole with the only dagger in her body. Zhou Tong's shelter was here up.

After taking a last look at the grave, Su Jiu got up, led the horse, and continued to walk west.

But what stood before Su Jiu was neither hunger nor cold, nor was he alone, but facing hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers and horses stationed, looking at every shade of the trees on the high mountain that had already been lined up with barbarian tents. Under the circumstances, Su Jiu led the horse and fled here at the fastest speed.

Once back to a place not far from the imperial city, Su Jiu looked at the high mountains in the distance. There was only one mountain between her and Nie Wuhuan, but the mountains were full of barbarian soldiers and horses. How did she get there? !
After thinking about it again and again, Su Jiu decided to go in another direction. He heard that there were people from Nie Wuhuan over there who would fight to the death.

Su Jiu's news suddenly disappeared, and Nie Wuhuan was also very anxious. He guessed that something happened to Zhou Tong, but in the face of such fierce firepower, Nie Wuhuan decided to stay in place temporarily, rest for a few days, and then make plans.

Because of the cold weather, Nie Wuhuan decided to place the soldiers and horses stationed in nearby villages to facilitate the transportation of injuries, food and grass.

After inquiring about the situation ahead, Nie Wuhuan and the others hurried back to the village at lunchtime. When they saw Nie Wuhuan coming on horseback, they had to pull down the wooden fence early to let them in.

"My lord!"

"How many injuries, how many deaths?" Nie Wuhuan turned over and fell off the horse, threw the reins in his hand, and hurried to his room in the village.

"Back to the prince, 2000 people were injured, [-] people were killed, and [-] people were missing. Although we won this battle, the casualties were too serious, and the herbs were limited. I'm afraid it would be difficult for all of them to follow us."

Nie Wuhuan nodded slightly, and asked again, "Where is Zhou Xiang?"

"Deputy General Zhou was injured and was bandaged in the prince's house."

Nie Wuhuan was taken aback, and without any explanation, he ran up and went straight to his room.Pushing open the door and entering, the military doctor came out with a medicine box in hand, "My lord?!"

"How?" Nie Wuhuan asked.

The military doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pulled Nie Wuhuan to hide in a corner, "My lord, I'm telling the truth, Vice General Zhou's injury is too serious, there is not enough medicine right now, and because the barbarian's weapon is smeared with poison, Earlier, all the brothers were asked to take the antidote, but Vice General Zhou said that there was not much antidote, he would be fine, but he was injured, the injury was already serious, this... lord..." The military doctor pulled Nie Wuhuan, Looking around, he said again, "We have traitors here!"

Nie Wuhuan's eyes turned cold, and he stared at him fixedly. Then he buried his head in thought for a moment and nodded to the military doctor, "Okay, I'll find a way as long as the medicinal materials are available, you go to treat the wound first."

The military doctor waved his hand, "Deputy General Zhou talked about the traitor before he fell asleep, and he passed out before he asked anything. I don't know what's going on, that's all I know."

"...En!" Nie Wuhuan patted the military doctor on the shoulder and strode into the room.

Immediately, a choking smell of medicinal herbs rushed to his head, Nie Wuhuan looked around, the wounded soldiers all over the room had different expressions, only Ma Shunyu in the corner over there had a livid face, and he could see that he was extremely tired.

"My lord, it was my subordinate's dereliction of duty that caused Vice General Zhou to be injured. This subordinate is willing to be punished." Ma Shunyu knelt down on one knee, and put down the broad knife while holding the broad knife in one hand, while the other side died because of a broken arm. There was nothing, and the drooping sleeve was left alone on the ground.

Nie Wuhuan hurriedly helped him up, and said to him, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's because the barbarians are too cunning." Nie Wuhuan knew that the battle just now was too fierce. They were caught in an ambush, which delayed their rush. Zhou Xiang was dispersed by the army. Because Ma Shunyu was one-armed, he was almost suspected of being involved on the way. Zhou Xiang was inadvertently stabbed by a barbarian in order to save him.

"My lord!"

Nie Wuhuan patted him on the shoulder, "There is no need to say more, there is still something I want you to do."

"Your subordinates have heard that at this time, the prince wants me to investigate the princess?"

"Exactly. But..."

"My lord, please tell me, my subordinates will definitely do it."

"To the east, it's very dangerous. You only have one way. Go over the southernmost mountain. It's like spring all the year round. It should be easy to go. But I don't know what's going on there. The battle report hasn't been sent yet, and you can only Going alone, no one knows where Su Jiu is now, Zhou Tong..." Nie Wuhuan paused and then said, "Something must have happened, so now there is no news, you can only go all the way carefully You need to search for her. Find her later, bring her back safely, and you should come back safely."

"Yes, my lord, I will do my best to bring the concubine to my lord safely."

Nie Wuhuan was startled suddenly, and grabbed Ma Shunyu's arm, "Thank you!"

Ma Shunyu's eyes trembled, "Your Majesty, this subordinate should thank you for saving your life back then. This subordinate will definitely not disappoint you." Ma Shunyu got up and was about to leave, but Nie Wuhuan stopped him and said to him, "Don't let me down." Urgent, leave again at night, I will send someone to prepare your dry food, and then walk from the east mountain, remember not to say anything, don't be careful."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Ahem..." Zhou Xiang finally woke up, but due to the toxin attack, his eyes were dark, and his mouth was also purple. At first glance, he looked like a ghost, extremely frightening.

"Zhou Xiang..."
