The beauty is endless

Chapter 30
Ji Che picked up the wet soil on the ground and sniffed it, but there was still a faint smell of sulfur.Looking around, the rain has washed away all the traces, surrounded by green mountains and forests, and I don't know where the people who fought here have gone.

"This is the fire crossbow of the Yonghe army." Guo Zichen looked at a small iron arrow covered in mud in his hand, "It seems that it was an internal strife, and the county guards were not disturbed."

He turned his head to look at Ji Che: "Based on this, Miss Murong didn't walk very fast. We almost caught up with her in just a few days. Young master, look..."

"Continue to go north." Ji Che quickly made a decision.

Judging from the clues along the way, although Murong Qi and his party were a little detoured, they were always heading north.His intuition told him that even if her destination was different from Murong Jiu's, it wouldn't be too different.

——The No. [-] Xiongguan Pass in Shuobei, Zixia Pass.

At this very moment, Miss Murong, who was "at large", was taking a roasted pheasant from the fire that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tore off a leg and threw it behind her.

"Eat quickly, and leave after eating."

Feng Yuan took a bite gracefully and praised: "It's delicious."

"I know how to do this. Ache taught me. When we were young, the three of us played outside, and he was the one who lit the fire and cooked." Murong Qi said while chewing, "Speaking of which, Ache is really capable, look He looks so fierce and bandit-like, but he cooks more quickly than a girl, and the food he cooks is delicious."

As she spoke, she couldn't help sighing: "Although he often treats me as a mother-in-law, he actually treats me pretty well. This time I'm the one who said it seriously. I hope he won't care too much."

Feng Yuan looked at her fixedly: "Master Ji Shao is very important to you?"

"Yes." Murong Qi nodded without hesitation, "To me and Xiao Jiu, he is like, like... By the way, he is like a mother... Hey, don't look at me with that look ...In short, he is like a family member, although he has been estranged a little in recent years, and I can't quite understand his thoughts...

"Do you like him? Will you marry him?"

This question was so jumpy that Murong Qi choked on a mouthful of flesh, coughed and looked up at him: "Are you crazy?"

"how?"

"Brothers are like siblings, have you ever seen someone married with siblings?"

He looked at her and laughed: "This way I can rest assured."

...What are you worrying about!
Murong Qi scratched his hair irritably, wrapped the remaining roasted pheasant with oiled paper, stood up and stamped out the fire, and walked out of the cave first.

"Don't eat, Sister Feng and Elder Mei have been gone for almost half a day, we should leave too."

One day before, they were forced into the mountains by Mo Zhu, Feng Jianhua suggested that the soldiers should divide into two groups, and she and Mei Wangting would lead Mo Zhu and his subordinates away first to buy time for Murong Qi and Feng Yuan.

"One month later, we will meet at Zixia Pass. There is an elite cavalry left by Grandpa outside the pass. You must personally meet their leader with me." Feng Jianhua's fingers followed the map all the way north, and finally stopped at Above the steep pass between the mountains.

"So far?" Murong Qi was taken aback.

"Originally, we wanted to contact the brothers of Huifengdu, but our whereabouts have been discovered, so we had to change the plan, lest Mo Zhu get there first and wait for the rabbit. The commander of the Yonghe army of Huifengdu, it is impossible to meet again after we come back." Late."

Feng Jianhua was calm and thoughtful, the situation was urgent and Murong Qi was unable to escape, so she had to act according to plan.But now, the more she thinks about it, the more wrong she is.

Why did Feng Yuan and Feng Yuan become grasshoppers on a rope for no reason?This person obviously gathered all the traits she hated - cunning, shameless, sweet-hearted, with a thicker skin than a city wall, and a heart deeper than the sea.

Why can't she get rid of him?It seems that Lan Ruo's great monks are right, she must have not accumulated good karma in normal times, that's why she was entangled by such a guy...

According to the route arranged by Kazama Flower in advance, the two walked for another five days, and finally arrived at their original destination - Huifengdu.

This is the hometown of the famous Juze general Feng Ziyue.Returning to the wind, the "wind" returns, in such a subtle way, to commemorate this famous general who died with the country.

Here, there is still the most loyal force of the former Yonghe Army.

At this very moment, Murong Qi was sitting in the tavern at Huifeng Ferry, drinking iced plum wine one sip at a time.The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River has passed, and the sun is shining hotly, and you will be sweating after walking a few steps.Along the way, in order to confuse the public, Murong Qi put on women's clothing again. She was dressed in the blue printed cotton dress that girls from Juze usually wear, wrapped in a headscarf, and changed her appearance a little, making her look like a girl from Jiangnan.

Sitting opposite her was a tall...woman who was dressed in the same outfit but had a sallow complexion and a sickly face.

It was noon at this moment, and the sun was shining brightly, but the doors of the houses on both sides of the street were wide open. In front of the doors, there were bamboo pole hangers and wooden boards, on which there were all kinds of clothes, cotton jackets, cloth, books, and even pickled vegetables. Meat.

"What is this doing?"

Although it took a lot of hard work to avoid the double search by the county guards and Mo Zhu along the way, she still couldn't help being curious because it was rare for her to take a break from the danger.

"Today is the sixth day of June. In the tradition of Juze, it is called the 'Sun scripture festival'. After the rainy season, everything in the house must be taken out to dry. It is not only to remove moisture, but also has the meaning of auspiciousness and avoidance. Pray that it will be blown from the sea. Let the wind not bring floods."

The apricot pupils in front of her were shining brightly, adding a little charm to that sallow sick face, Murong Qi whispered: "You are still sick, don't look around, sister!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "sister", and Feng Yuan said aggrievedly: "Yan Ran, can I stop pretending to be a woman?"

"If you restore men's clothing, we will be discovered soon, Your Highness!" Murong Qi gritted his teeth.

"If you find it, you will find it. It's not like you can't beat it." There was a trace of disdain in the voice.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. One month is not short, and I can't take it all the way." Murong Qi said and let go, "Do you understand?"

This time, Feng Yuan nodded obediently, and said softly: "There is a festival tonight, we can take the opportunity to sneak out of the city. After Huifengdu is the hinterland of the former Juze, Mo Zhu's power has been greatly weakened, get rid of him first Say it again."

"Then do it like this." Murong Qi nodded, "There is still some time, sister, do you want to take a bath and rest first?"

"How about we sisters together?"

"go to hell!"

Compared with other festivals, the ceremony of "Sun scripture festival" is not special. As soon as night falls, the streets are full of various singing and dancing ceremonies to worship the god of the river and the god of wind.

Both of them had already removed their camouflage, changed into night clothes, and hid early in a group of carriages preparing to leave the city.

Looking at the crowd surging under the firelight through the window of the carriage, Murong Qi couldn't help but said: "I also participated in this kind of ceremony when I was young. Many monks chanted scriptures loudly in front of the temple made of huge stones, praying to the god of the snow mountain Sin against the world. My mother said that no matter how powerful manpower is, it is still small in front of the power of nature. Only when we realize this can we be more open-minded and humble..."

"Snow Mountain?" Feng Yuan next to him asked doubtfully, "Didn't Yan Ran grow up in the palace?"

Only now did Murong Qi realize that he had slipped his tongue, and hastily coughed lightly: "Just slipped out once or twice..."

Feng Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and was silent for a moment, before saying, "Actually, this is the first time I've seen the ceremony of the Sunshine Festival. It's ridiculous, isn't it? This is my country, the place where I was born, but it's the first time I Seeing its appearance clearly, it is still on the way to escape..." The usually gentle and affectionate voice suddenly became deeper and more lonely.

Murong Qi couldn't help turning his head, but only saw a deep and shallow light in his eyes, which was the lamps lit by pious people not far away.

"Father is a very nervous person. He is always worried that someone will rob him of the throne. For this reason, he even sent someone to assassinate his own sister. Mother and concubine were born noble, smart and wise, so after I was born, my father was quite I'm so afraid, until Dayou's army hit Luochen, I never left the palace." He continued, his voice seemed to come from the bottom of the deep lake, "Later, I went to Liaoyangjing, and there was no one I knew well around. , those aristocratic children from aristocratic families bullied me everywhere because I was a hostage, if it wasn’t for my mother and concubine’s repeated warnings before I left, I couldn’t bear this tone for a while, maybe I wouldn’t be able to live today..."

Murong Qi blinked, and suddenly remembered that when he was 13 years old, he entered Beijing with Xiao Jiu. He was unfamiliar with the place. Although his status was noble, he had strange eyes and sarcasm.

There were times when she couldn't bear it anymore, but she had an older brother and Ah Che.

And what about him?
There is nothing but a sliver of hope.

Involuntarily, she reached out and took his palm.

The slightly warm and soft touch made Feng Yuan, who was caught in memories, startled suddenly, turned his head, and looked into a pair of clear eyes.

"But you survived. This is the most important thing. Those unhappy things are regarded as trials from heaven. Just like practicing martial arts, as long as you overcome the most difficult hurdles, you can learn new skills."

"Yanran..." He stared at her for a moment, then suddenly took her hand, pulled it to his lips, and said in a low voice, "I really like you more and more, no, maybe more than that... "

Murong Qi hastily withdrew his hand and said angrily, "I shouldn't have sympathized with you!"

But he took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms.

"How long are you going to escape?" A sigh brushed against his ears, "Every time I tell the truth, but every time you take it as a joke, are you unwilling or afraid?"

"What...why don't you dare?"

"You don't want to believe me, it's my fault, I have nothing to say. But think about it, have I ever really hurt you? You are not even willing to give me a chance to trust me again..." He lowered his head In her beautiful hair, Murong Qi murmured like a wronged child, but it was the first time that Murong Qi heard helplessness and frustration from that coquettish ending, which made her surprised and uneasy.

In her heart, he was never a good person, and he was excluded from the scope of friendship early on.

This cognition has not changed so far, what has changed is her attitude.Recently, she often feels that this person is actually not that annoying, and sometimes even a little pitiful.

For example, now.

"This...you get up and talk first." She was a little stiff and pushed him roughly.Feng Yuan laughed softly: "It doesn't matter, I will give you time, as long as it takes. But for the matter of reconciliation, unless I die, don't think I will agree."

He let go of her, stared straight into her eyes, and got the word "roll" stuck in his throat.

With the sound of gongs and drums and the hustle and bustle of people, not far away there are cigarette smoke and bright lights, as long as you turn around, you can step into this noisy earthly festival, but at that moment, the faint darkness shrouded this narrow place, and no one could feel it. Open your mouth and no one will leave.It was so quiet that we could hear each other's heartbeat.

Mishaps happen in an instant.

Countless soldiers in silver armor suddenly rushed from all directions, and instantly dispersed the crowd of the ceremony. They broke into the shops and people's homes with swords in their hands, and knocked down the drying racks at the door.

The screams were mixed with curses. This is the hometown of General Feng, and it is also a border land, and the people are more bloody than other places.

Seeing that the soldiers tied up a dozen people from various houses and pushed them to the square.Dozens of torches illuminated the small square brightly. Although the ceremony was disturbed, the people did not leave. They looked around from the encirclement in small groups, with a hint of nervousness and anger in their expressions, but they did not see fear fear.

Murong Qi and Feng Yuan looked at each other, then quietly slipped out of the carriage, picked up a piece of clothing scattered on the ground, put it on their bodies, and squeezed into the crowd.

Among those who were tied up, there were men and women, old and young, who were being forced to kneel down by the soldiers.Murong Qi's heart moved, and he remembered the scene when he first met Elder Mei and his party in Qinglian Town—Yonghe Army's habit is to hide in the market, could it be that these people are...

At this moment, a vaguely familiar female voice came from my ear, shouting loudly: "Commander Shang, your people are in my hands now. If you don't want them to have trouble, I advise you to show up as soon as possible."

Looking at the woman in red slowly walking out of the crowd, Murong Qi was greatly surprised: "Why is she..."

This person is none other than Liang Shan, the deputy commander of the Thirteenth Battalion of the Imperial Guard who has met several times in the capital!

She lowered her voice and said to Feng Yuan: "This silver armor is the symbolic attire of the Dayouxiao cavalry battalion. It seems that the Yonghe army has already alarmed the capital, and you have caused big trouble."

Feng Yuan chuckled lightly: "From the imperial guards to the Xiaoqi battalion, this girl Shan has been promoted."

Although he was smiling, his eyes turned cold.They only heard from Fengjianhua not long ago that the commander of the Yonghe Army's Huifengdu branch was surnamed Shang, and almost all of them were recruited and led by the remnants of the former Fengjia army, with strong combat power and the most loyal.The "Shang Commander" Liang Shan mentioned was obviously this person.

Since Xiaoqiying was able to search out so many people at once, and Liang Shan dared to make such a call, the Yonghe army hiding in Huifengdu must have been fully exposed.

And the person who leaked the news, besides Mo Zhu, could not be anyone else.

——The female leader of the Yonghe Army and the person she used to trust the most are now clearly in conflict, either you die or I die.

Liang Shan yelled a few times, but no one appeared. With a sneer, she pulled a homeless man out of the captives, and said loudly, "Since Commander Shang likes to hide, I have no choice but to give you a gift first!"

After finishing speaking, she waved the knife in her hand and smeared the homeless man's neck, blood splashed everywhere, staining a square of blue bricks red.

She pushed the dead man away, ignored the angry and terrified eyes around her, and continued: "If you don't come out, I'll continue to kill. Let's see if it's your patience or your brothers' lives!"

After finishing speaking, she pulled out another young woman and put the Miao knife on her neck.But the woman raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Brother Shang, don't come out, take everyone away..."

Before she finished speaking, the knife light flickered, and the half-sentence she hadn't spoken disappeared with her fallen body.

"Shang, when all these people are dead, I will massacre the city. Will you get out?"

There was a low noise around, Liang Shan walked around, and this time dragged out a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, who was about to throw a knife.Murong Qi finally couldn't help but yelled "Bastard" in a low voice, gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward.

But as soon as the shoulder moved, Feng Yuan held it down firmly: "Don't go."

"Are you blind?" She turned her head and stared at him, "These people are supporting you with their lives, but you just ignore them?"

Feng Yuan said in a deep voice: "So what can I do if I save these dozen or so people? Since Liang Shan is so confident, she must have already laid a net, just waiting for someone to vote. If she goes out at this time, she will be sent to her death." After a pause, He added, "If I were Commander Shang, I would definitely take advantage of this time to transfer the rest of the Yonghe army, so as to preserve our strength and minimize the damage. Showing up rashly is just a momentary act of bravery, that's not what a hero should be." .”

His eyes were condensed like she had never seen before, but there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.She stared at him blankly: "So, do you think it's worth making those people sacrifice...?"

She asked with difficulty, but she didn't wait for his answer, because at that moment, a hoarse voice stopped Liang Shan's saber movement: "Shang Feipeng is here, as long as you dare to cut this knife, I will let you go!" None of you can leave Huifengdu alive, you will do what you say!"

Murong Qi followed his reputation, and under the night, a slightly thin but very tall figure was standing alone on the roof not far away, his clothes flicked slightly, he was holding a long knife, against the waning moon behind him, there was a kind of scream The aura of fear.

"Fly Peng?"

Murong whispered in his ear with unbelievable surprise, Murong Qi turned his head and glanced at Feng Yuan: "You know him?"

"Yes..." His surprised eyes locked on the figure, and he fell into memory for a moment, "I still remember that when I was the prince of Juze, I had a companion who was the eldest son of the concubine's personal servant, and his name was Fei Peng..."

Feipeng and Feixu are the sons and daughters of Aunt Fang. Feipeng is only one year older than him. When the country was destroyed, he was only a six-year-old toddler. He followed Aunt Fang to stay with his concubine.Two years later, Feixu was born, and five years later, Aunt Fang passed away. Feixu was adopted by Hongshui gang leader Jimang and renamed Jici.

His childhood playmate is Ji Ci's real brother.

His childhood memories were already very vague, he only remembered that Fei Peng was in poor health, was always sick, and stubborn as an ox. If it wasn't for his intentional support, his legs would probably have been broken by those old scholars long ago.Later, he went to Dayou as a hostage, and there was no news of Fei Peng. He once thought that this name had disappeared along with its owner in the chaos of war.

Now, the man in front of him, the commander who led the most elite troops of the Yonghe Army - he said his name was Fei Peng.

The past was vague, the old man in the old place, for a while, he was a little inexplicably timid.

The corner of Liang Shan's mouth curled into a mocking sneer, she pushed the young man away, Miao Dao pointed at Shang Feipeng obliquely, and said loudly: "You, come to the front, I will let these people go, and I will do what I say! "

Shang Feipeng didn't talk nonsense, he jumped down from the roof, walked step by step to a place ten steps away from Liang Shan, and said coldly: "Let me go!"

It was only now that Murong Qi could see his appearance clearly, he was delicate and delicate, yet he was holding a long saber that was as tall as his body, his brows and eyes were firm and firm.

Feng Yuan beside him took a light breath, and suddenly held her hand firmly.

She could feel the slight wetness in that hand. It was also a person who could be used by him. A stranger and a childhood friend were still different after all.

The group of captives had been released, and when they walked back, they passed by the young man, no matter men, women, old or young, they all said in a low voice: "Brother Shang." Anger burns away the tears.

The square was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, obviously no one made a sound, but something seemed to spread silently, Murong Qi took a deep breath and said, "Feng Yuan, you must save them!"

She had never called his name like this before, and he was taken aback when he heard it. The warmth in his palm settled his dazed thoughts at this moment.He nodded slowly, and was about to look for an opportunity to make a surprise attack when a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in his ears, and then someone in the crowd shouted: "Fire!"

In the night, the sky to the east of the town was illuminated bright red by the flames at some point. Shang Feipeng saw the flames, his expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "How dare you break your promise!"

Liang Shan said coldly, "I only said not to kill people, but I didn't say not to set fires." After a pause, she turned to the direction of the fire, and said, "You've been delaying your appearance just to divert the remaining rebels, right? ? But unfortunately, I know exactly where the secret way to withdraw the troops is. Commander Shang, you made a mistake."

Murong Qi could feel Feng Yuan's body trembling slightly, she pursed her lips, without turning her head, she just slid her fingertips across his palm, forming a "no" word horizontally and vertically.

Hold on, don't rush, don't panic.

The crowd gradually became turbulent. Nine out of ten people who returned to Fengdu were still sincere to their homeland. Therefore, the arrogance and cruelty of the Xiaoqiying camp quickly angered those who were still bloody. Go to the middle of the square.

Shang Feipeng swiped the long knife in his hand, and the cold blade pointed directly at Liang Shan.

"Since this is the case, all of you must stay in Huifengdu to be buried with you, and none of you will leave!"

Liang Shan raised her eyebrows: "Are you blatantly making Dayou an enemy?"

"Stop talking nonsense." He snorted lowly, and his long sword danced like a Shura, and said sharply, "Tell the brothers in front, if you can't leave, you will fight. The big you dog thief who killed me in Juze, kill one by one. When you get down, I invite the brothers to drink!"

The slightly hoarse voice, accompanied by the clang of weapons clashing, echoed in the sky reddened by the flames.

Dawn, far away...

When Ji Che arrived at Huifengdu, the sky had just turned pale, and the whole town was like a dead city. The choking smell of sulfur and nitric acid was evaporating in the not so cold air, and the green smoke that hadn't completely dissipated lingered around the ruined walls. Saw bloody corpses.

What the hell is going on here!
Seeing this place for the first time, his heart suddenly tightened.

Where is Murong Qi!
What happened to her?

He chased her angrily all the way, worried about her, thinking that he must find her and make it clear. From now on, he must either accept him or never communicate with him. He has to give himself an explanation.

But he never thought about what to do if he could never find her again.

He tightened the reins and rode his horse onto the charred street, trying to find some clues from the rubble.The sound of horseshoes beating on the empty street, blood soaked the mottled lines on the yellow brick floor, solidified into brown stains, broken weapons and stumps were wrapped in clothes to dry during the festival, a messy mess.Occasionally, a door in a dark place opened a crack, but when he looked over, it was closed immediately. The faces of the woman and child behind the door were still full of panic tears.

He crossed the streets, dismounted in the center of the square, handed the reins to Guo Zichen who had been following closely behind him, looked at the surrounding terrain, and decided to cross the square and find a local resident in the opposite alley to ask for clarification. go through.

When he stepped over the piled corpses on the stone steps, a blood-stained hand suddenly raised and grabbed his foot.

He lowered his head, only to see a man struggling to lift his upper body in a pool of blood, but because of the heavy injury, he fell back heavily, but the man's hand strength was so strong that the cowhide boots were severely scratched. Press out a few finger prints.

He hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and asked, "Who are you? But do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

The question was very straightforward. Five or six feathered arrows were stuck in this man's back, and there was a scar on his chest that reached deep into his internal organs. Obviously Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to save him. People have died hundreds of times.

In his life, he cherishes people who shed blood but not tears, otherwise he would not put aside important matters and stop.

"I am...the commander of the Huifengdu... branch of the Yonghe Army...Shang Feipeng."

After speaking intermittently, Ji Che put his palm on the man's back, and gradually poured in a gentle and strong internal force, finally allowing him to recover a little bit of strength.

"Thank you..." The man who claimed to be Shang Feipeng nodded slightly, and continued, "I know that my life is not long, and I only have one wish before I die, which is to send this thing to Zixia Pass, and to the general of the Yonghe Army In the hands of flowers in the wind..."

As he spoke, he spread out his other hand, and in his palm lay a black jade token with the word "wind" engraved in the middle.

Ji Che couldn't help frowning: "Yonghe Junbing Talisman?"

"This is the soldier talisman that Old General Feng carried with him half his life. It can command the former troops of the Feng Family Army. Only half of the Yonghe Army today are the former troops of the Feng Family Army, and the other half are Juze righteous men who are unwilling to perish. The combat ability is not as good as the Feng family's army. If Feng Jianhua does not have this soldier talisman, it may be difficult to convince the crowd when they arrive at Zixia Pass..." Shang Feipeng had a difficult time explaining a few simple ins and outs, and even kept going in the end. Coughing, blood foaming from the mouth.

Ji Che added a little more force in his hands, and said: "This is an important token of the Yonghe Army. Once it is leaked, the entire Yonghe Army will be uprooted by Dayou. You and I are just acquainted for the first time. Why do you trust me so much? How do I know?" Isn't this a trap?"

After Shang Feipeng heard it, he couldn't help but twitched his lips: "As expected...you are indeed the young leader of the Hongshui Gang, with such a meticulous mind. I am about to die, why did I lie to you? I beg you for help because I I used to go to the Hongshui Gang, although you don't know me, I know you... Although you have a weird temper, you have principles, you will neither be a dog of the Great You court, nor would you bother to harm me, Ju Ze Fuguo Army of..."

After finishing this long paragraph, Shang Feipeng was already in a state of unbridled anger.

"I don't have another chance, I can only take a gamble... It's best for you to send it over. If you don't, I don't blame you... At least I have tried my best, and I have no... regrets..." His head slowly drooped , the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "...if you can see Kazama Flower...please remind her...to protect your son..."

The oil ran out and the lamp dried up. Finally, there was no more sound.

The young general who was once high-spirited and determined to protect the great rivers and mountains of his country finally lowered his proud head, his blood gradually cooled, and he turned into a wisp of dead souls on the battlefield.

Ji Che reached out his hand to close his half-open eyes for him, put the soldier talisman into his arms, and was about to get up to leave, when he caught a glimpse of green light on Shang Fei's puffy waist from the corner of his eyes. Looking carefully, it was a talisman tied on his soft armor. A jade pendant of fish playing with lotus leaves.

The jade pendant is only half, a fish chasing a lotus, the pattern looks somewhat familiar.

He thought for a moment, stretched out his hand to tear off the jade pendant and put it in his arms, then took off the cloak and covered Shang Feipeng's body, then turned and left.

Two hours ago.

When Shang Feipeng pointed the long knife at Liang Shan, a fight that the people of Huifengdu would never forget kicked off.

One moment was a solemn ceremony, but the next moment, it turned into a shura field in the world.The soldiers of the Yonghe army who were mixed with the people showed their weapons one after another, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion who were like iron barrels around them. The night wind sent a mournful cry of killing, and Murong Qi and Feng Yuan's original plan had to be changed because of this.

"Leave immediately!" Feng Yuan tugged at Murong Qi's sleeve, "This is the end of the matter, fear of accidents, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time."

Murong Qi was stunned: "Aren't you going to save people?"

Feng Yuan frowned: "The situation has changed."

She pointed to the figure wielding a long knife on the field: "He is your friend!"

"But first of all, he is the commander of Huifengdu Yonghe Army." Feng Yuan said in a deep voice, "Now this battle is inevitable, he has his responsibility, he can't leave. I also have something I should do, I have to leave !"

Murong Qi thought for a while: "Well, you go first, I'll stay and take a look."

Feng Yuan was very surprised: "What are you keeping?"

Murong Qi's expression was very natural: "In your mind, Ju Ze and your throne are more important than anything else, you can give up everything for this. But these have nothing to do with me, I think Shang Feipeng is a good person, I don't want to see Let him die, so I want to save him."

"Yan Ran!" He didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, "This is not the time to draw your sword to help when you see injustice, you are so naive!"

Murong Qi pushed him, "Let's go, Your Highness."

Feng Yuan frowned, and was thinking about how to take her away forcibly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liang Shan's knife cutting towards Shang Feipeng's chest, and he waved his palm subconsciously, an invisible but powerful force Qi rolled up the knife of the soldier beside him, and slammed straight into Liang Shan's back.

Hongyuetian Devil Art Nine Layers is not trivial, even though Liang Shan noticed it, she was still a step too late, as if the blade was manipulated by an invisible hand, leaving a scar on her shoulder.

This knife relieved Shang Feipeng, but also exposed the hiding place of Murong Qi and Feng Yuan, a group of soldiers quickly surrounded them.

Murong Qi hastily grabbed an iron sword, forced the previous few people back, and jumped into the chaos in the middle of the square.Feng Yuan followed her, back to back with her.

Although being besieged, Murong Qi couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say you won't save people? You said it so heartlessly, you still can't let it go?"

Feng Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "...It's just a slip of the hand."

"Will you die if you admit it?"

"meeting."

"..."

Soldiers swarming in will surround the few Yonghe legions. Murong Qi and Feng Yuan mixed in the crowd, exchanged glances with each other, and slowly moved towards where Shang Feipeng and Liang Shan were.

Things have come to this point, it is not easy to get out, the only way to catch the thief is to capture the king first.

But the opponents were too many and well-trained, the two of them couldn't break through the siege for a while, they could only watch helplessly as Liang Shan led a small team to force Shang Feipeng into the arrow formation, and a rain of arrows fell, killing him The figure is tightly caged.

Seeing this, Murong Qi turned around to rescue him, but was pulled back by Feng Yuan in the next moment, and in a flash, Feng Yuan's figure had appeared behind Shang Feipeng, and he stretched out his hand to grab him by the back collar and dragged him back in a hurry. At this time, he passed by with the rain of arrows all over the sky.

Shang Feipeng cut a few arrows with the long knife in his hand, and turned his head to thank him, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw Feng Yuan's appearance. During this time, Feng Yuan had already let go of him, and the sword in his hand held Liang Shan's body Knife.

Shang Feipeng couldn't help calling out: "You..."

"Don't be dazed, hurry up and leave!" Murong Qi stretched out his hand and pushed him behind, "Your people are less than one-tenth of the Xiaoqi battalion, fighting recklessly is nothing but death, go first and then talk!"

Shang Feipeng has come to his senses at this moment: "Young lady and that young master are together?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"That's it..." He took a light breath, "Please take the young master and leave quickly to return to Fengdu!"

Murong Qi frowned: "Aren't you leaving?"

"If I leave, what will the brothers of the Yonghe Army do? What will the common people do?" Shang Feipeng frowned, but his eyes were very firm. "This is the place I want to protect, and I can't just abandon it for my own survival. I won't leave even if I fight to the last person!"

"Please, girl!" He stretched out his hand to grab Murong Qi's shoulder, the blood in his palm wetted her skirt, "Hurry up, take your son to Zixia Pass! Leave it to me!"

"Zixia Pass?" Murong Qi opened his eyes wide, "You...recognize him?"

Shang Feipeng nodded lightly, a faint smile appeared on his resolute lips.

The introverted and gentle prince who rescued him when he was a child, although the appearance in his memory is blurred, but the appearance that is almost the same as that of the princess just now, and the magic power of the Red Moon Heaven passed down by the princess. Admit it?

Many years later, he was the one who rescued him, he had already practiced a peerless miraculous skill, so it was very good——

He didn't say any more, and stretched his hand into his bosom to fetch something: "Girl, please bring..."

But before he finished speaking, dozens of people surrounded him, and the two of them were immediately dispersed.Shang Feipeng saw that there was no chance to deliver the things to Murong Qi, and he shouted decisively: "Girl, Fei Peng has made up his mind, please take young master away, don't miss this opportunity!"

Looking at that slightly frail face and rock-solid eyes, Murong Qi gritted his teeth, made a ball of iron sword dance in his hand, forcefully opened a gap in the encirclement, jumped to Feng Yuan's side, and swung the sword away. Shan's knife, said anxiously: "Stop hitting, go!"

Feng Yuan was stunned: "You were the one who wanted to stay at the beginning."

Her tone was a little unwilling and helpless, but she was very sincere: "I promised Shang Feipeng to take you to Zixia Pass safely!"

Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the young man who was struggling to kill the enemy, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Okay!"

It is really difficult to rescue dozens of people from an army of thousands of people, but it is not difficult for two people with strong martial arts to escape.The two teamed up to force Liang Shan back, and quickly broke out. Before leaving the square, Murong Qi couldn't help but turn his head to look, but he saw the arrow array launching again, and the rain of feather arrows was like a group of bloodthirsty arrows in the flames. of black ants.

She couldn't see Shang Feipeng's position clearly. Even though she had accepted his decision, she still felt her heart tightening at that moment, and she couldn't help but stop, but Feng Yuan beside her stretched out a palm to block her. in front of you.

"Don't look." His voice was low and there was an imperceptible tremor, "Since you have chosen to move forward, don't look back, don't give yourself a chance to regret it!"

She turned her head, gently pulled his hand down, and then nodded vigorously.

When Ji Che returned to Fengdu through the messy land, Murong Qi and Feng Yuan had already left the square where countless blood was spilled. The fire in the town was gradually extinguished, and the sound of fighting was barely audible. It is unknown how the battle is going. Only the shrill horns came from afar.

His arms were sore and unbearably sore from swinging too many swords, his eyes were dry due to exhaustion, and the blood from the wound hadn't stopped... But he couldn't stop, let alone turn back——Murong Qi took a deep breath, and the east had already glowed slightly. The fish belly is white, and the dawn is coming.

"This is the bugle call of the Xiaoqi Battalion. There shouldn't be many pursuers, so we just took the opportunity to leave." She handed the reins to Feng Yuan, and Feng Yuan got on the horse without a sound, and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit on the side Before him, he clamped the horse's body with both legs, shook off the reins, and the horse spread its hooves and ran across the empty streets.From a distance, one could only see a piece of corpses in the square with a layer of pale blood that seemed to be absent in the hazy sky.

Where would that frail boy who stubbornly refuted his teacher be at this moment?
The parting 20 years ago, the glimpse 20 years later, in the end, for whom?

For whose country, for whose homeland?
Perhaps it was because the speed was too fast, Murong Qi could only feel the hands around her waist gradually tightened, and her chest against her back was trembling slightly. After an unknown amount of time, Feng Yuan suddenly lowered his head and buried his face into her shoulders and neck In the messy hair, her neck was warm and wet, and she couldn't tell whether it was her own sweat or his tears.

She didn't know what to do, she could only turn her head and rubbed his temples, stepped up her horse, and galloped all the way to the north.

After a night of fierce fighting, she was already too tired, and she didn't notice that only one street away, someone was anxiously patting every family to the empty house, just to find out even a little bit of news about her.

Ji Che heard the sound of galloping horseshoes not far away, and when he chased him out again, he only saw a blurred figure from his back that disappeared in the first ray of sunlight.The short sound of riding a horse was also blown away by the morning wind, and it was scattered in the wilderness in all directions.
