Chapter 152 Use yourself as a bait to lure the enemy to counterattack
The night is getting darker, the moonlight spreads a faint light on the roof tiles, and the clear light comes in from the skylight, just catching the graceful beauty of the girl in the bath. body.
At midnight in summer, after taking a bath, I feel particularly refreshed.
Gao Changgong took her robe and wrapped it around her body, which was as white as jade. He picked her up and went to his dormitory.
The cool breeze is blowing, the candles as thick as arms are swaying, the fiery red curtains are lingering in the wind, and the boundless and charming spring scenery is looming.
Feeling his gentle and careful love, Xiao Jinyu smiled and whispered in his ear and asked: "Chang Gong, are you not so scared now?"
"You know what I'm afraid of?"
"Although you don't want to admit it, from the environment in which you grew up, it is not difficult to guess that your second uncle, Emperor Wenxuan, had a great influence on you, right?"
"After my father died, my second uncle was actually very good to us. He especially liked my fifth brother Gao Yanzong, but he hated my father very much. He was extremely cruel to those who betrayed him. He can kill even women. Sometimes I’m also very afraid of him and don’t understand him very well!”
"Then never understand him!"
After saying that, Xiao Jinyu pressed his lips to his again, and hugged him tighter. The warm and tender touch between each other made the chill in Gao Changgong's heart dissipate a little, and his heart suddenly became brighter as if the clouds disappeared and the rain fell. .
Endless happiness arises from this.
"Chang Gong, how is your grandmother, Queen Mother Lou, treating you well?"
"Well, it's good. Among my relatives, my grandmother is the best to me!"
"What about your mother?"
…
The murmurs in the bedroom gradually fell silent, and there were still frogs croaking in the pond outside the house.
Lu Yu was sitting in the courtyard at this moment, laughing to himself in a daze alone. Li Mi looked strange, so he came over and asked, "Why are you laughing? You have such a vulgar expression?"
"Who are you calling obscene?" Lu Yu, who woke up, shouted violently.
"Then you smile like a flower. People who don't know would think you..."
"What's wrong with me? I'm happy for my county prince. He has been working alone for so many years, with only us soldiers around him. Because he encountered some things when he was young, which caused him... However, Now that I'm better, I know that this miraculous doctor must be able to cure my prince's illness. No, since the prince has been with her, his illness has naturally healed!"
"You've been talking for a long time, but I still don't understand. What's wrong with your prince?"
"It's just... fear of women... you know? I'm just not interested in women at all. When I saw a woman before, she was just a trembling little rabbit. But now it's different. The little lady... no, she is now our princess. Now, being with the princess is more powerful than a tiger..."
Li Mi couldn't stand listening anymore and said coldly: "I think it's not your prince who is sick, but you!"
Lu Yu was so angry that he wanted to explode. Li Mi quickly cut off his words and asked, "By the way, where will Cui Sanlang and I sleep tonight? Aren't you going to arrange a place for us?"
The anger that Lu Yu had just raised was extinguished because the king of the county had told him that he should treat Li Mi and Cui Heng with courtesy. They should not live in a shabby place, and they should be treated like great scholars!
Literati pay attention to these false etiquette!
Lu Yu snorted with contempt in his heart, and took Li Mi to find a wing.
…
The night passed quickly, and at about 3:30, Xiao Jinyu changed into night clothes, put on a silk hat, and quietly walked out of the dormitory.
At that time, an unknown spice was still burning in the bedroom, and the green smoke flowed back, rose, and drifted like mist in the incense burner.
"Chang Gong, have a good dream! I hope you can remember those forgotten things!"
After Xiao Jinyu said this, he quickly walked out of the palace, walked through the corridor, and headed outside the mansion.
Phoenix, who was resting on the roof beam, soon noticed her noise, realized it was her, and immediately jumped in front of her.
"Brother Qing, where are you going?" he asked anxiously. Seeing that she was dressed in black and men's clothing, he had a premonition that something was wrong.
"Go and lure out the assassins, set up an ambush, and kill them, just like we did before!"
"Then why didn't you scream..." Halfway through the words, he changed his words with tears in his eyes, "Forget it, I'll go with you! Leave the dangerous things to me, okay?"
"good!"
This time Xiao Jinyu agreed decisively and did not refuse.
Phoenix smiled brightly.
…
It was almost dawn again, the darkest moment before dawn, and a carriage hurriedly drove towards the official road. A tall horse in front of it sat a "young man" in black, driving the carriage at a high speed!
A horse followed closely behind him, and a young man in mysterious clothes also sat on it.
From Pengcheng to Yecheng, you must pass through the Huaisi area, which is also an important road for envoys from the north and the south to pass. A hundred miles ahead is where you enter the sea, and go north to Yecheng.
There were many men in black already ambushing here. It was still dark before dawn. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, the leader, a middle-aged man, could not help but express his surprise.
"Why are there only two people?"
"But that is clearly the chariot of King Lanling, and the horse is also a bloody horse raised by my country, Da Qi!"
"Director Han Sima, Governor Liu said, I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. No matter who is in the car, kill him first!"
The leader's expression changed for a moment, and finally he gave the order: "Crossbowmen, prepare, fire arrows!"
"yes!"
"Fire the arrow!"
After giving the order, several arrows were fired in unison, and they were shot towards the approaching carriage. The "young man" on the horse immediately fell down, and several arrows whizzed past her. After entering the carriage, a fairly gorgeous carriage suddenly turned into a hornet's nest.
The phoenix immediately rushed from behind and swung his sword to cut through the rain of arrows that came again.
But there was still an arrow that streaked across like a meteor, just in time to lift her hooded hat, and it passed by her cheek, leaving a trace of blood on Sai Xue's jade skin.
The long black hair spread out in the strong wind, dancing like ink lotus flowers in full bloom.
The ambushed killers couldn't help but shout in surprise: "It's a woman!"
"What a beautiful woman!"
"Catch her, she is most likely the Southland woman brought back by King Lanling!"
"Don't kill her yet, capture her alive!"
With a burst of excited shouts, all the people who were ambush around her ran out, intending to surround her.
Coming! That's it!
As long as all the people in ambush are lured out...
While riding the horse forward, he cut off the leather ring on the horse.
Xiao Jinyu accelerated his horse forward, and a group of men in black also rushed to keep up. Just when a shout of death rang out, the young man on the horse looked back, and just raised his wrist and made a gesture to Phoenix to let them see. Unintelligible gestures.
At this time, the rope was immediately disconnected, and the horse Xiao Jinyu was riding ran forward at a faster speed.
The carriage that was not being pulled by the carriage immediately slid backwards, and a group of men in black who were rushing forward were knocked around.
At this moment, Phoenix suddenly threw the ignited object into the carriage. In an instant, like lightning and thunder, and the earth shook, there was a huge roar, and the sky-high fire illuminated the darkness. night, while billowing smoke filled the road ahead.
Severed limbs and arms flew up from the thick smoke, and screams came one after another. There were screams!
..."Mother...Mother..."
Gao Changgong seemed to see his mother in the dust and smoke. The woman in black clothes turned back, her eyes full of hatred and sorrow.
"You said you would marry me as your queen, but you lied to me..."
"I have no choice. I have tried my best, but those courtiers have been remonstrating with death one by one..."
"Haha... everyone is lying to me and using me. When I am useful, you pet me, love me, and treat me as a treasure. When I am useless, you will abandon me like a shoe. My father and grandfather will take care of me." To a Xianbei slave who is worse than a pig or a dog, and what about you?"
"After using me, you just want me to be a nameless outhouse..."
"Hahaha... How could I, the noble princess of my country, be reduced to such a state, not even qualified to be a concubine..."
Mother... stop crying!
"Xiao Guan, I'm leaving and going back to my home country. There are still my relatives there, although..."
"Aniang, will I take you to see my home country? It's beautiful there...it used to be very warm...but everything changed later!"
Mother, let me see your face. It has been so long that I have forgotten what you look like!
But why would I forget?
I shouldn’t forget, shouldn’t forget…
"Xiaoguan, grandma is gone. You should listen to your father's words, don't make your aunt angry, and get along well with your brothers..."
Mother, let me see what you look like?
Why is there always a layer of smog hanging over us?
He desperately wanted to disperse the mist, but it had been unable to do so for many years. However, at this moment, a ray of morning light seemed to shine in, and the mother's receding figure suddenly stood still, and she slowly Turn around and smile at him!
That smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, and the sky is filled with glow!
He saw it clearly! I finally saw my mother’s face clearly!
It turns out that my mother’s appearance is so beautiful!
But for some reason, in an instant, the face turned into Xiao Jinyu, and there seemed to be people buzzing around.
A voice shouted: "Kill her! This woman is so beautiful and can enchant people. Our country, Qi, will perish because of her!"
No, who's talking?
Don’t kill her!
Don’t kill her!
The sandalwood in the bedroom had burned out, and Gao Changgong immediately woke up from his dream. Lu Yu hurriedly ran into the bedroom when he heard the call, and stopped outside the door as if he thought of something.
"Prince, are you okay?" Lu Yu shouted outside the door.
Gao Changgong had just recovered from his shock when he realized that Xiao Jinyu was no longer on the couch. In addition to his surprise, an unexpected feeling of fear arose spontaneously.
He quickly put on his robe, strode outside the dormitory, and asked, "Where is Ayu?"
"Princess?" Lu Yu was also confused, "Wasn't she with you, the prince, last night?"
"She's not here...she's not here...where did she go?"
"Where are you going? Didn't any of you see it?"
He couldn't help roaring.
"Look for it quickly! Tell everyone to get up and look for me quickly!"
"Yes, Prince!"
Lu Yu hurriedly ran to the resting place of the guards in the mansion. Gao Changgong even more panicked and carefully searched for the traces left by Xiao Jinyu in the dormitory. Suddenly he saw a rolled up note on the table, which seemed to have just come from The carrier pigeon was unrolled and unfolded, and after reading it, it was rolled up again.
There was only one line written on the note: There are ambushes on the road from Pengcheng to Yecheng, please be careful!
After reading it, Gao Changgong felt as if his heart was suddenly falling, as if he was frightened and frightened, so he ran out of the hall without any hesitation.
"Prince, where are you going?"
Seeing him go straight to the stable, Lu Yu pulled out a horse, turned over, turned around and rushed out of the house.
"Quick, everyone, keep up! Everyone, keep up!"
Under Lu Yu's orders, a group of guards mounted their horses and chased Gao Changgong in the direction he was going!
It was already bright at this time, and the Surabaya area was already a large water area. The sound of horse hooves passed by, the water plants were brushed, and the water splashed everywhere.
A group of knights flew by on the official road. Gao Changgong shouted Xiao Jinyu's name, but the only response he received was the sound of water whimpering and the sound of horse hooves behind him.
He didn't know how long he had been running aimlessly like this. He couldn't find her anywhere after searching. The fear in Gao Changgong's heart became deeper and deeper. It seemed that last night's nightmare was a warning to him.
Because of some despair, his eyes were red and tears were falling like mist.
"Prince, don't worry, maybe the princess just went out to play for a while, and she will be back soon!" Lu Yu comforted.
"No, she won't do meaningless things, and she's not a pleasure-seeking person. It's just that I...didn't I give her a sense of trust?"
"Prince, don't think so. My little lady is married to you. She has given you her best, how can she not trust you?"
The best of everything? Yes, in order to repay the kindness of saving each other when they first met, she did not hesitate to repay him with her body. She just wanted to heal the lingering shadow in his heart, right?
Now that he is well, he has remembered everything he had forgotten, and remembered his mother's appearance, so is she going to leave him?
"Quick, look for it quickly. There is only one official road from Pengcheng to Yecheng. You can enter the sea less than a hundred miles ahead. It must be still on the road. Look for it quickly!"
Lu Yu continued to shout.
The guards responded and continued to run forward.
At this moment, there was another sound of horse hoofbeats not far away. Lu Yu couldn't help but look at the figure on horseback with ecstasy in his eyes.
"Prince, it's the young lady, no, it's the princess who's back! Look, she's back!"
Gao Changgong then looked for his voice and saw Xiao Jinyu, dressed in men's clothing, riding towards him. Behind him, in addition to Phoenix, there were a group of guards. The leader of the group, whom he knew, was actually Xiao Jinyu's original residence. Ling Ye, a top swordsman in Jiankang.
Xiao Jinyu rode up to the horse, quickly jumped off the horse and flew into Gao Changgong's arms.
"Chang Gong, I have cleared the ambush on this road for you. Those people are all dead!" She said happily in his ear, "I have spared the lives of two people for you to interrogate when we return to Ye. City, we have nothing to fear!”
"I will also pave the way for you, a safe and worry-free road!"
Gao Changgong looked dazed and didn't react for a long time. At this time, he couldn't say a single word, and he was choked with sobs. When Xiao Jinyu looked into his eyes, she realized that his eyes, which were originally as clear as the Milky Way hanging upside down, were flushed.
"Chang Gong, what's wrong with you?"
Discovering that there was a long, thin red mark on her face, he stretched out his hand to touch it with some trembling.
"It's just a small injury, I'm fine." Xiao Jinyu said with a smile in a comforting tone, "It just hurts my appearance a little bit...and I want to keep this scar for a while, so it may make Chang Gong a little uncomfortable. …”
"Do you think I just like your face?" After choking for a while, he answered her words and asked hoarsely, "Xiao Jinyu, don't you believe me?"
"Still, do you think I'm just a selfish villain who only wants to get something back from you?"
"Do you think I won't care about your life or death and won't be heartbroken?"
A series of heart-wrenching questions made Lu Yu and all the guards lower their heads, and even Phoenix was a little moved. At this moment, he really saw the overwhelmed nervousness, fear and care in this man's eyes!
"I thought I was going to lose you. I have never been so afraid of anything... never..."
Holding her in his arms finally released the long-suppressed fear...
Xiao Jinyu, who had always been accustomed to planning and protecting her family and paving the way for her loved ones, suddenly realized at this moment that she was indeed acting arbitrarily and had never thought that the people around her would worry about her.
"I'm sorry, Chang Gong, I won't be like this again..."
From now on, I will post a big chapter every day, hehe
