Chapter 652 Ashina Zhuxie
It was originally a cloudy day, but when it was approaching dusk, the sky had completely darkened.
Although they had been guarding for a whole day and nothing happened, the guards guarding the county government office still did not dare to neglect. They all stood up straight, looked solemn, and looked straight.
It wasn't until the light was so dark that they could hardly see each other that someone discussed and brought a lamp over.
At this moment, a slender figure walked out of the quiet courtyard.
Although she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, judging from her clothes and hair accessories, it was the maidservant Wuxue who had just brought the food box in to take care of Princess Qin. She was seen carrying the obviously empty food box in one hand. One hand was wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, as if he had just cried.
A few people looked at each other without saying anything, and automatically made way for her.
Na Wuxue thanked them and left in a hurry.
Keeping watching her slender back disappearing at the end of the long corridor in front, several guards turned around. One of the younger ones said softly: "You were fine when you went in, why did you come out crying? "
The other one is slightly older Some of the guards looked back at the quiet courtyard behind them and the house with closed doors and windows in the courtyard. Under the dark sky, there was a suffocating sense of dullness. He sighed softly and said, "We are here." The Princess of Qin is not an ordinary character.”
The young guard opened his eyes wide: "How do you say that?"
The older guard said: "The princesses and concubines of the ordinary Tian family are all very delicate and only enjoy happiness - even those of the past Queen Du is sitting in the court hall, but this Princess Qin is different, she can go to the battlefield."
"The battlefield?"
“Yes, it’s Fufeng from the past few days——”
The older guard had personally experienced the Battle of Fufeng before, and had even seen how Shang Ruyi “shot the arrow to the clouds” "Broken the gilded place, set a prairie fire on the sword, and the nine states were sunk." Then he told the story of the earth-shattering battle in detail. The young guard was dumbfounded and could not speak for a long time.
"So,"
The older guard finally said: "This time, His Highness the King of Qin did not allow the princess to accompany him, and even locked her here for us to guard. Can the princess endure it?"< br>
“…”
“That girl just went in, I’m afraid she got scolded too.”
“…”
The young guard was speechless for a long time. He only turned around and glanced at the courtyard that could no longer be seen clearly in the dim light, and the dark house with closed doors and windows. After a long while, he took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he whispered: "Then we have to serve carefully."
"That's natural."
While speaking, the person who went to get the lantern came back.
As soon as I walked up to them with the lantern, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew, and everyone was shaken. Suddenly, they heard a "clang" coming from the courtyard not far behind them.
It was the wind that blew the door open.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, a little confused.
Did Wuxue leave the door unlocked just now?
Thinking of this, several people panicked and hurriedly carried lanterns over. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that the door was open. The door was blown by the wind and kept hitting the wall on the side, making a "clanging" sound. The room was completely dark, without even a little light.
There was no human voice at all.
A few people became more and more uneasy and walked over cautiously. The lanterns in their hands emitted flickering light in the wind and finally barely illuminated the inside of the door. They saw a slender figure lying on the ground, wearing Qin Qin's clothes. The princess was wearing casual clothes, and several of them were so frightened that their legs went weak and they hurriedly walked in.
But as he got closer, the candlelight shone on the face of the man on the ground.
Surprisingly, it was Wuxue who had just left!
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city on the upper floors of Qixian City also raised their torches. Seeing that the time was approaching, they walked to the city gate one after another. When they were about to close the city gate, behind them Suddenly a very soft voice sounded——
“Wait a minute "
Everyone stopped immediately and looked back, and saw a slender woman walking out of the city in the dim light. Her clothes were not thick, but she was wearing a curtain hat. , the hanging gauze was blown close to the face by the wind, outlining a clear and bright outline.
I saw her walking over, giving a simple salute to everyone, and said, "I want to leave the city."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned for a moment and could not react. It was not until she was about to reach the gate that one of the soldiers suddenly said: "Wait!"
The woman His footsteps stagnated, but he didn't stop. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked out.
Several soldiers immediately chased after her and stopped in front of her. The woman was forced to stop. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked through the translucent gauze. Looking at the soldiers guarding the city in front of him, he said in a low but polite voice: "Sir, do you have any orders?"
The soldier guarding the city lowered his head and looked at her carefully. He felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. He just frowned and said: "It was explained above that now we in Qi County can only enter but not leave. We must. Before leaving the city, we have to wait for Taiyuan - we have to wait for two days for orders from above. You can only go out if you give me an order."
The woman was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "But I have something urgent and I have to leave the city."
A few. The soldiers looked at each other, feeling more and more suspicious about this man.
The soldier looked at her carefully again, then moved in front of her, firmly blocking her way out of the city, and said, "What's the emergency? Do you want us to hear about it?"< br>
This woman looked at the mountains around her He was surrounded by ordinary bodies, but he was not as frightened as ordinary people when encountering officers and soldiers. He just lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the soldiers in front of him, and said calmly and clearly: "The matter of Prince Qin's Mansion. ”
"What!?"
Everyone was shocked. Before they could recover, they saw something coming out of her arms.
Looking closely, it is the token of Prince Qin’s Mansion!
This woman turned out to be——
Although these city defenders are the lowest level soldiers, due to their special positions, they know exactly which team they are on now. Now Qi The county was recaptured by King Qin Yu Wenye. They guarded the city gate and were not allowed to enter or leave. It was also because His Highness King Qin wanted to attack Taiyuan and they did this to avoid the news leaking.
And the woman in front of him is holding the token of Prince Qin's palace, so she is naturally working for His Highness Prince Qin.
With this, no one dared to stop her anymore. The city defenders who were blocking her also immediately took two steps back. The woman silently put away the token and just pointed it at them. He nodded and walked out quickly.
At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps on the long street inside the city gate.
A few soldiers turned around and saw a tall guard running over from the other side of the long street. When they saw the woman's slender figure and was about to walk out of the city gate, Immediately stamped his feet and shouted: "Stop her!"
Several soldiers guarding the city were stunned and before they could react, the man shouted again: "Stop her quickly, she is Princess Qin!"
"What!?" Everyone was shocked and turned their heads hastily. The woman's slender figure also trembled and subconsciously glanced back. Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the sound of the wind seemed to be mixed with a gust of smoke and a faint whistling. With a sound, she suddenly opened the curtain on her head, revealing a beautiful face.
It is Princess Qin Shang Ruyi!
“Really, it’s——!”
The soldier who was guarding the city who looked familiar to her just now gasped, and then he remembered that when he was guarding the city before, I had seen her, but I didn't expect that in just two days, she would leave here again in the same dress!
The soldier immediately shouted: "Stop!"
As soon as his voice rang out, Shang Ruyi had already turned his head and ran out of the city quickly.
For a moment, everyone panicked and hurriedly chased after her, shouting while chasing: "Princess, please stay!"
"Don't run!"
"Stop, don't run!"
At this moment, the howling wind was not only faintly mixed with a whistling sound that came from nowhere, but also mixed with a heavy heartbeat, deafening like thunder, which was Shang Ruyi's own heartbeat. She gritted her teeth and ran forward desperately. The cold wind cut her cheek like a knife, but at this moment, she felt no pain at all, and she didn't even feel the cold. She only wanted to leave this place.
She wants to go back.
She wants to return to Shen Wuzheng, even if——
Even if——!
However, even if she was prepared and ran forward with all her strength, she was only a woman after all, and the soldiers behind her were chasing after her one by one, and soon they were about to catch up with her. Got it!
At this moment, they suddenly felt something strange.
The whistling sound in the wind was getting closer and closer, and it was getting louder and louder. It was not even the sound of wind at all, but the sound of wind mixed with a louder and deafening sound, even the ground under their feet , were all shaken to the point of trembling.
That was——
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the wind. Shang Ruyi also turned back amid the noise. His messy hair was entangled in front of his eyes, but it was entangled. A sight that astonished her!
On the other side of the avenue, a group of people suddenly rushed out!
Each of these people was as strong as a mountain, but they were not wearing their usual thick coats, but crude and rugged clothes simply sewn from animal furs. The whistling sounds in their mouths were sharp and ear-piercing, reaching straight into the sky!
They are Turks!
Shang Ruyi's eyes widened, and he saw a group of men and horses rushing over at the lead. The man on the horse was tall and heroic, but he wore a wolf-head mask, covering the upper half of his face. Only the firm chin and tight lip line were exposed. The moment the horse under the seat was about to hit her, the man suddenly leaned down and stretched out his hand towards her!
“Ah!”
Shang Ruyi let out a quick cry, but before he had time to react, he felt his whole body rising into the air.
The next moment, she was picked up by the waist and held in his arms.
Even though she was heartbroken, Shang Ruyi was frightened at this time. She struggled immediately and shouted: "Let me go, who are you!?"
< br>But just when she wanted to break free When the other party jumped off the horse, the man said nothing. He held her two slender wrists together with one hand, grabbed the reins with the other hand, and circled her wrists several times. The son then tied Shang Ruyi's hands tightly!
“䱱——!”
Shang Ruyi was shocked. Just as she was about to say something, her voice was interrupted by the heavier sound of horse hooves behind her. She hurriedly reached over the man’s shoulder. Looking back, I saw that the group of city defenders behind them who had just been chasing Shang Ruyi were knocked upside down by the sudden appearance of the Turkic soldiers. Some were trampled to death by horse hooves, and a few others were lucky enough to survive. Fleeing into the city in panic.
Immediately there was a burst of gongs and drums in the city, and soon after, soldiers chased them out on horseback.
But, it’s too late.
This group of people moved quickly. After catching Shang Ruyi, they only glanced at the city and stopped lingering. They immediately galloped towards the west and soon left those who were chasing them far away. Behind him.
Shang Ruyi's whole body was cold.
She had already seen that this man was very familiar with chasing prey, and even more familiar with handling prey on horseback. If she fell into his hands, at least now, it would be impossible to run away.
She bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down, although now, the horse under her seat was galloping wildly, constantly jolting the people on the horse, especially her, and her thoughts had long been shattered.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded above his head -
"Princess Qin?"
Shang Ruyi's heart trembled, he raised his head and faced Without the wolf head mask, she couldn't see clearly the eyes behind the mask, but she could clearly feel the cold and sharp eyes of the other party.
“Are you Yu Wenye’s woman?”
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart was beating wildly.
But at this time, there was no point in denying it. After all, the people who had just been chasing her had been shouting the words "Princess Qin". These people obviously understood, and then they suddenly rushed out and grabbed For her, denying is not only useless, but also makes her inferior.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and calmly faced the cold wolf-head mask: "Who are you?"
The Turkic man was quiet for a moment.
Although the wolf-head mask tightly covered the upper half of his face and concealed all his emotions, Shang Ruyi could still feel that he seemed a little surprised at that moment.
I am surprised that the woman in front of me is so calm.
Dare to be so calm.
After a brief silence, he suddenly raised a hand and lifted the mask off his face.
Suddenly, a handsome and rugged face caught Shang Ruyi's eyes.
This man was probably in his twenties. Although he was young, his skin was rough and his face was covered with stubble. The corners of his eyes and brows showed traces of years, but even such traces could not erase his handsome outline, let alone smooth it. Among the sharp eyebrows and high bridge of the nose, only the thin lips that were pressed into a straight line, with one corner slightly raised at the moment, added a hint of softness to this rough face.
Shang Ruyi held her breath: "You are -"
The man did not lower his head to look at her, his wolf eyes were still staring ahead.
