The two walked slowly all the way, and finally arrived outside Fengyang City. In the distance, there was the towering ancient city wall. On both sides of the avenue, there was a water town, and a huge white reed swaying along the way. Both felt relieved.
All because Yu Xingzhi's second brother, Yu Xingyi, was stationed here, serving as the commander of the third-grade guard, Tongzhi, and receiving the rank of General Dingyuan.
Yu Xingzhi has a prominent family background. His father Yu Dunsu was named Duke Wei for his martial arts, and his eldest brother Yu Xingyong was the heir of the Duke's government. There are five brothers in the Yu family.
Chatting in detail along the way, Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that Yu Xingzhi encountered this disaster because of one person.
It is Cheng Shizhao, the sixth son of the emperor, who he grew up with when he was a child.
Guo Dafei, the mother of the sixth prince, and Yu's mother are sisters. Guo Dafei died young and left her only young son.
Cheng Shizhao had lost his confidence since he was a child, his mother family was not prominent, and he himself did not have a sacred heart. At a young age, it was very difficult to live in the palace.
Mother Yu, thinking of her sisterhood, did her best to take care of Cheng Shizhao in her childhood, and even sent her youngest son into the palace to become the sixth prince's companion. The two cousins studied together under the name of the current great Confucian Song Ziwen, so they became very close.
Cheng Shizhao and his cousin Yu Wulang are about the same age and have complementary temperaments. They were almost inseparable when they were young. Both of them are outstanding in appearance and elegant in behavior, and they were once known as the two jewels of the capital.
Cheng Shizhao had been disrespectful since he was a child. At first, he was inconspicuous among the princes, and he was quite cynical. He had nothing to do except like to mess with flowers and mess with people of the three religions.
Unexpectedly, as he got older, he began to show his prominence.
In the eleventh year of the Jinyuan year, Cheng Shizhao, who was on the nineteenth year of Fang's nineteenth year, accompanied his eldest brother, King Cheng Shijue of Wu, on an expedition to the Huns.
In the thirteenth year of Jinyuan, he was ordered to lead the Henan and Shanxi guards with the Duke of Wei to go out to the fortress to build cities and fields, and to consolidate the frontier defense.
In the fifteenth year of Jinyuan, he was named King of Yan because of his repeated achievements, and he went from a mediocre and idle prince to a hot prince with real power.
King Yan's eyebrows are handsome, and he looks forward to majesty. In the courtroom, he is in stark contrast to the wealthy and blessed Prince of the East Palace. In the past few years, King Yan has been jealous of the East Palace, and the two sides have gradually become a trend of water and fire.
Lin Yuanmao, a scholar at Wuyingdian University, is the most powerful person under the Crown Prince of the East Palace. His son Lin Bingren is always vicious and vicious, so he resorted to a trick to extract money from the bottom of the pot and secretly arranged to kidnap the Duke's Mansion. The Fifth Young Master, who was closest to him, threatened him all the way to Sichuan and Shu, where he was secretly imprisoned and tortured, in an attempt to force him to write a letter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, in order to slander and frame the King of Yan.
"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop. When I go back this time, there will be another violent storm in Beijing. Brother Shi Zhao just wants to retreat, but I'm afraid there will be no way out." Yu Xingzhi sighed softly in the carriage.
"I entered Fengxiang City and found your second brother, General Dingyuan. At least our safety is safe. The strings that have been tensed all the way in my mind can finally be loosened."
Zhou Xiaoxiao sat at the front of the car and drove a carriage to chat casually.
She was in a relaxed mood, and this battle between the superstructures seemed to her like a page in a history textbook, remote and unrealistic.
She felt that after sending Yu Xingzhi to the city, she would probably have nothing to do with herself, and she would feel sad about the love story between the two of them.
He was beating his horse drowsily when suddenly there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air behind him.
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt as if her body had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
Immediately, a sharp pain came, and she nearly fell off the horse in front of her eyes.
A sharp arrow hit her in the back and passed through her shoulders.
I was shot! She realized suddenly.
Almost at the same time, several sharp arrows broke through the air, and they were nailed on the carriage.
There was a sound of killing from both sides of the road.
It turned out that the safety along the way was an illusion, and the people who were chasing them were ambushing them where they had to pass, waiting for the rabbits.
Zhou Xiaoxiao reluctantly gritted her teeth and turned her horse's head, rushed down the road, towards the reed beach beside the road.
Only by rushing into the reeds and sneaking through the waterway, there is still a chance!
Zhou Dujuan's physique was originally very strong, and with thick nerves, if it was the original Zhou Dujuan, even if he was hit by an arrow, he could still support it for a period of time.
It's a pity that the flesh was replaced by Zhou Xiaoxiao's soul. He was a pampered master who had never experienced any hardship. The arrow shot through the shoulder from the back, and the pain caused half of her three souls and seven souls to disperse. Her eyes were black and she almost fainted. .
Fortunately, Yu Xingzhi quickly stepped out of the car, supported her from behind and took the reins in time.
When Zhou Xiaoxiao reluctantly regained her consciousness from the pain, she found herself and Yu Xingzhi half immersed in the cold river water, hiding in a clump of dense reeds by the riverside, Yu Xingzhi hugged her and held up her upper body. water surface.
There was a lot of noise around, and it was obvious that a large number of chasers were searching for the two people within a short distance, and the situation was extremely critical.
It turned out that Lin Bingren had made such a move. He must have ambushed people on the main road in Fengxiang and Jingjing and other places, waiting for the two to take the bait.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yu Xingzhi, a modern woman and a young master of the government, have no experience in the arena after all.
It hurts so bad, there is a sharp pain in the shoulder.
It hurts so much. Zhou Xiaoxiao thought painfully.
I was killed by a weapon in my last life, and now I have to suffer this crime again, it seems that my life is not long.
What is the meaning of my reincarnation here? Just for me to rescue a handsome guy
From her point of view, Zhi Hao saw Yu Xingzhi frowning and listening to the movement. The masseter muscles of his jaw were tensed, and the sweat collected down his cheeks to his chin, dripping down.
Zhou Xiaoxiao raised her hand and touched Yu Xingzhi's sweaty face.
Yu Xingzhi, who was on guard, immediately looked back.
His eyes are so beautiful, with voluptuous shapes, thick eyelashes, the eyes seem to be filled with stars and the sea, staring at him with such gentle eyes, mixed with comfort, encouragement, anger, and regret for the inexplicable emotions.
Ugh. Forget it, it's better to die alone than to die together. Since they have deliberately crossed over, they can't go back and report without even doing one thing.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was convinced by the beauty and was ready to sacrifice herself once as great as described in the book.
She wants to shout, you go here first and I will bear it.
Of course she knew it might be useless to say that. Yu Xingzhi is not a person who can be easily persuaded. Even if you want to die first, it is not easy.
"Let me down and run away yourself." She stretched out her hand to stop Yu Xingzhi's eager mouth, "Don't worry, listen to me first."
She took a breath, held back the pain, trying to make herself clear and not too loud.
"I think you might have noticed. I… I'm not from this world."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xingzhi's eyes froze for a moment, and he whispered in a hoarse voice: "Don't say it."
"No, listen carefully. I'm different from you. I won't die. It should be said that although I will die, I can still live in other places. It's... It's a bit like your legendary revival."
"Do you understand? As long as you keep yourself alive, as long as you don't die, we will still have a chance to meet."
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt like a vixen among ghosts and ghosts, shielding the dangers that were close at hand in this cold and wild field, stroking the scholar's face, and whispering softly to the scholar to put down the book of sages, believing that she was dead. Can be resurrected, and then about the nonsense of the next life.
She brought out the best acting skills in her life. She seemed to be light-hearted.
I'm sorry, but I lied to you. Maybe this death is the end, and maybe even if you cross again, you won't be able to return to you. But I really want you to live.
Please, just let me go and run for my own life.
Suddenly a drop of water hit Zhou Xiaoxiao's face.
She froze for a moment and touched her face with her hand.
Transparent teardrops fell from the air, flickered in the sunlight, and shattered on her face.
one more time.
Why did he say he was crying, I didn't even cry myself.
Yu Xingzhi's face showed a sad and painful look: "Since you said you won't die, then try to go together."
Without waiting for her to react, Yu Xingzhi put the prepared hollow reed rods into the two mouths, hugged her tightly with both arms, and sank into the water together.
Before the biting cold lake water immersed him, Zhou Xiaoxiao heard the man's slightly crying voice ringing in his ears.
"Please, bear with me for a while. Hold on, for me. Don't die."
The dim and cold lake water instantly drowned her body and drowned her senses.
she wanted to say,
If I want to dive and swim out of here, I am still injured, how can I do it
Too stupid…
But the gurgling lake water made her unable to speak.
The huge pain in her back made her completely fall into the abyss of coma.
In the chaos, I could only intermittently feel the arms that hugged me tightly, like a string around a kite. When her soul was floating up and down in the world, she would always pull her and let her return. The ground will not completely dissipate between heaven and earth.
