I said, "You can stay with the princess, but from now on, you must treat her as your master, keep your mouth shut, and don't tell the princess anything about Jishuo, especially the past. You must not reveal the slightest bit. , I will kill you immediately, and then take the princess' life."

The moonlight fell on her face, she clearly showed a faint smile, I suddenly remembered that she has no tongue.

Naturally, she would not leak it to the princess.

Seeing that I understood, she nodded slowly, still agreeing.

Jieshuo people make great promises, and Bee is especially loyal. Since she promised to treat the princess as the master, she will never betray her.

The bee girl did not know where to find some medicinal materials. Under her careful care, the princess's condition finally eased, and she gradually regained her consciousness and was able to recognize people.

The princess was very grateful to me for leaving the bee lady, and when she was able to stay and move around, she even thanked me specially.

I said: "His Royal Highness ordered me to take care of the princess. If the princess is grateful, then go to thank your highness."

The princess was very serious and wanted to thank the prince, but she was closed.

The prince seemed to hate her more than ever.

"A savage girl from Western Liang." He said, "She's ugly, but she still has a lover, Ah Zhao..."

I didn't know what he was going to say, so I just looked at him with a smile.

He choked and said, "Besides, I have twelve mothers of the Zhao family."

The twelfth mother of the Zhao family, that is another hidden worry, but at this moment, I can only say: "Princess Xiliang is still young and may not know any affection. Your Highness does not need to worry about this."

The prince didn't seem to care too much.

Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, this princess is just a pretense.

When the princess was actually registered as the Crown Princess, the twelve mothers of the Zhao family also entered the East Palace and were registered as Liang Di.

Spring and autumn come, and the days go by like that day by day.

The prince was indifferent to the prince concubine, which was naturally not good, and occasionally quarreled with the prince concubine because of Zhao Liangdi.

The internal discord in the Eastern Palace gave the Empress numerous excuses to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

His Royal Highness naturally knows something in his heart, but the East Palace itself leaks like a sieve. The front relationship between him and the Crown Princess is almost unknown in this world, even His Royal Highness himself, and even the Crown Princess. Things are forgotten cleanly, but I have hidden worries in my heart.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness still has great ambitions, and the Crown Princess is an unrestrained person. In such a solemn court, she even teased flowers and fish every day, and lived a very happy life.

Forget the water of the river, you can forget the love.

Maybe that's good too.

The Crown Princess is still a group of children, and sometimes she will call me "General Pei" with a smile on her face.

I suddenly remembered a long, long time ago.

After the two of them jumped off the Wangchuan River, I led the army down the mountain in a hurry, not hesitate to detour for a hundred miles, and finally found the entrance of the valley. With the hope of what to do, I tried to search for the two of them in Wangchuan.

The army has been searching for a long time in that deep valley.

The cliffs are thousands of miles long, the rocks are stacked on the cliffs, and the heavy rain is like a waterfall, pouring everyone's face like soil. After a while, the raindrops turned into snowflakes again.

The snow fell heavily.

A horse stumbled and slipped, and several people tried hard to pull the reins, and the horse's nose was pulled to bleed. The horse was left with a cloud of foam in the whirlpool.

Someone murmured, "What the hell is this place?"

Hutian snows in August, and snow is not uncommon. This valley is sandwiched between huge mountains. Only when it is sunny can you see a thin line of sky. From the first few days of entering the valley, the wind and sand cover the sky and the sun, and then it starts to fall. rainstorm.

There is no road in the valley, people and horses can only be cautious, and travel upstream along the river valley washed by the rapids. It is said that it is a river valley, but it is actually a cliff. Even if the horse falls, it cannot be rescued.

Camping in the middle of the night can only be camped on the slope wall, and if you turn over, you may fall into the water. Once in the middle of the night, you encountered a landslide, and the rocks and broken rocks fell down, and hundreds of people were buried in an instant. From then on, every night, everyone only dared to sleep in shifts against the cliff wrapped in felts, and they would get up and run away when there was a slight movement.

People and horses are exhausted, and along the way, there are always horses carrying food into the water.

Dry food is almost finished.

Since leading the army, there has hardly been such a desperate situation.

The small school in Maqian finally couldn't help pulling my reins: "General Pei, if we go further, we're afraid that no one will be able to get out alive."

I didn't answer, just cheered loudly: "Go to an open place in front, let's make a fire! Roast dry food to eat!"

The snow fell more and more densely, and only a few people responded weakly.

I know that when the morale was already low, this group of Yulin Lang, originally the sons and daughters of nobles in Beijing, came to the west, and many people thought that the military exploits were easy to obtain. Everyone was elated.

It was a battle a while ago, and it was also the army of the Anxi Protector's Mansion. They were just held in the back army. When the enemy finally broke through, the horses rushed forward, thinking that it was blood on the head of the knife.

It wasn't until I entered the valley under the cliff that I knew what a real casualty was.

But I can't go back.

Because the prince has not yet been found.

That is the prince I served since childhood, the future master of this world.

From the age of six I knew clearly that even if I risked my own life, I had to protect this person well.

The deep blue and white-foaming torrent in front of me finally calmed down. When I looked up, I could see a hillside in front of me. The terrain was smoother. I restrained my horse and gave orders to go down. The brigade rested on the gentle slope and had lunch by the way.

The sky was snowing and everyone was miserable.

I got off my horse and stood in front of the gentle slope, watching the last person pass by me. I set up a sentry now to pay attention to the falling rocks on the mountain.

Pile of bonfires have been lit, and everyone is shivering around the fire.

The dry food that was carried was only dry and hard naan cakes.

Several horses, with their hooves wounded and bleeding, stepped on the snow, blooming red like ominous flowers.

I was ruthless and unloaded all the dry food on the horse's back and ordered the injured horse to be killed.

The aroma of roasted horse meat lingered, and everyone was cold and hungry, hungry.

I looked at the more than 1,000 people left in this group, and the 3,000 feather forests have been damaged by more than half. And the whereabouts of the prince is unknown. If you go forward, you will be surrounded by dangers. If you go back, you will have to die before you can exit the valley.

A real dilemma.

The snow was still falling on the top of the head.

The horse meat was roasted, and everyone was given a piece. I took a piece myself, and just took a bite, suddenly I heard the sentry shouting: "Falling stone! Falling stone!"

I was startled. The falling rocks were often accompanied by landslides. Almost everyone jumped up. I shouted loudly: "Stick to the mountain wall! Go to the heights!"

Everyone was dodging the falling stones, and there was a terrible dull sound from the heights of the mountain. My heart sank. I had heard this kind of sound. On the terrible night of the landslide, more and more rocks rolled down, Gradually, some people were hit by the gravel and fell into the turbulent flow; some people were covered in blood, lying on the ground crying in despair; more people shielded their heads while dodging the rocks, trying to climb higher up the mountain.

I suddenly saw a wide stone beam not far away, protruding into the air like an eaves, but if there is a real landslide, I am afraid that if such a large stone beam collapses, everyone will still be crushed into flesh, but the rocks As in the rain, more and more people were hit and fell into the turbulent flow. I couldn't hesitate any longer.

I shouted loudly: "Shi Liang! Hide under the stone beam!"

I dodged and avoided the falling rock, and pushed a school guard who was almost hit by the falling rock under the stone beam. Everyone also saw the huge stone beam that was halfway across the mountain and scrambled towards it.

I picked up a wounded soldier, and then a small colony who had almost lost his footing.

The falling rocks fell like raindrops, and we silently clinged to the mountain wall, watching the falling rocks outside.

A number of people were injured just now, and they clenched their teeth, never groaning.

These days, the people and horses have been damaged, and no one dares to say anything in front of me, but it is rumored in private that Jie Shuo said that this is a sacred mountain, trespassers will alarm the gods, and the landslide must be the wrath of the mountain god.

No one knows how angry the mountain god will be. The rocks outside are getting more and more dense, and everyone's face is ashen. If half of the hillside collapses like last time, I am afraid that the stone beam will not be able to stop it. .

The dull sound grew louder and closer, and more large boulders fell from the mountain.

I'm just afraid that there will be another landslide.

The stone beam shook slightly and made a terrible noise. I wonder if too many boulders fell on the stone beam, and it was obvious that the stone beam was about to collapse.

Everyone looked up at Shi Liang, and everyone's face was full of despair that they knew they were going to die.

I'm not afraid of death, I just feel guilty. I didn't find the crown prince because I was unfaithful; I led everyone to this place because of injustice. To die here, let my parents send the white-haired man to the black-haired man is naturally unfilial.
