"Zhahe..."
"Brother, it's okay, run quickly..."
Hua Rong held his hand hesitantly, not caring to stop, and ran forward as fast as he could. After a few steps, another random arrow shot at him. Zhahe waved the weapon in his hand and knocked out a few of them, and asked quickly: "Brother, are you okay?"
Hua Rong gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow from his shoulder in the darkness. The blood all over his body seemed to be hot, and he whispered: "It's okay, run quickly and leave me alone..."
The wind whizzed by my ears, and my nose was filled with the smell of blood. I didn't know if it was my own or from the wounds. My eyes were swollen, but I couldn't shed tears. I didn't know if this foreign man, whom I had just met for the first time, was there on this night. He will lose his life because of himself.
And I, myself, can’t even see Peng Ju for the last time
She whispered: "Pengju!"
Zhahe suppressed the pain on his body: "Brother, what did you say?"
Her breathing gradually became difficult: "No... It's okay... It's okay..."
This time, all the chasing troops were from Zong Han's tent. They had been ambushing around Weishi all day long. They were originally trying to capture Hua Rong. However, after they had chased for a while, they saw another tent on fire. They could clearly see that this was A place where military horses are supplied, including Zonghan's tribe, where some of their war horses come from.
Everyone did not dare to slack off and immediately changed their direction to intercept the army and horses. The few remaining people chased into the dense forest, but there was no sign of anyone anywhere.
At the same moment, the mansion of the eldest prince Zong Han was also bustling with activity, with flames rising into the sky.
A group of black-clad soldiers rushed out of the night and went straight to the Song prisoners' camp. At this time, the camp was on fire, and there were screams, cries, shouts, and the screams of cattle, sheep, horses and dogs everywhere.
Although there were guards waiting, the fire came so quickly. They didn't know that the fire was doused with the most primitive "black oil". Once it was poured, it spread like a broken bamboo. People at that time didn't understand "black oil" at all. What is "oil"? It's just that some people accidentally discovered it and used it for heating. King Qin was a big customer of the Lei family, a family of firearms in the south of the Yangtze River. After a certain transaction, the Lei family gave him a big bucket, saying that when burning warships, especially It's a sneak attack and can be very useful.
Unexpectedly, when he came to Yanjing, Ma Su actually found a lot of this "black oil" in the hands of Khitan merchants, which was originally used to warm the crowd. He was moved and bought a lot, taking advantage of the dark night to relax and worry about it. There were too many guards to get close to the Grand Prince's residence. I glimpsed the livestock tents and some harvested haystacks extending outside the Grand Prince's residence from a distance. I came up with a plan, so I poured black oil on it and the fire spread. I took advantage of the crowds to take a detour. At the entrance of the mansion, watering continued, and with this fire, the entire Prince's mansion almost burst into flames.
The fire spread, and some Song prisoners who had no time to escape were already trapped in the sea of flames. After all, Zhang Xian and Liu Qi were good at it and rushed out in a hurry. At this time, some guards who reacted immediately caught up with them and shouted like animals: "Hurry and catch them." , don’t let them escape... Anyone who dares to escape will be shot to death... "
King Qin took the lead, waving his sword, and looking among the screaming Song prisoners, there was no familiar figure. The girl was not here.
If she is no longer here, where will she be
In the light of the soaring fire, he could clearly see that the man running away in front of him looked very familiar. He urged his horse and ran towards him. While Zhang Xian was running away, he saw a man coming towards him. In panic, he was about to resist, but heard a sound He shouted: "Zhang Xian, where is Hua Rong?"
Zhang Xian was shocked when he suddenly heard the Chinese language. From this tall figure, he immediately recognized the King of Qin.
When meeting an old friend in a foreign country, he was overjoyed even though he didn't know his friend or foe. Zhang Xian was shrewd and didn't greet him. He just said, "Is it you?"
He said this in Jurchen language. Just as King Qin was about to strike with his sword, he lowered his voice and said a code word. This was exactly what he said when they jointly attacked the Jin army at sea. King Qin was startled and immediately agreed. It's Zhang Xian.
Ma Su behind him whistled, and two horses came running towards him. In desperation, Zhang Xian pulled Liu Qi, and they got on their horses. In front of them, a group of heavily armored guards from the Prince's Palace were already coming.
In the dark night, everyone did not speak a word and fought vigorously. When they were about to stop, they saw another group of black armored soldiers coming from the left to fight. The leader was holding a mace most commonly used by Jurchen soldiers, and he was extremely brave.
King Qin and others were already surrounded and did not dare to fight, so they immediately retreated. During the melee, he saw people from both sides fighting. His heart was moved. When he looked back, he saw that the person immediately leading the army was wearing the kind of wolf commonly used by the Khitan people. A tooth mask, a mace makes a tiger angry.
He was so surprised, why was the figure of this Jurchen soldier so familiar? Naturally, he never dreamed that this person was Yue Pengju. He thought it was an internal strife in the Jin army. With this plan, he suddenly made a code word. In the dark night, he could only hear Ma Su shouting in pure Jurchen dialect: "Avenge the fourth prince." … The fourth prince has made outstanding contributions, why should he be placed under house arrest…”
These words spread immediately in the dark night, and no one knew how many people were responding. Moreover, after they were far away from the light of the sky, the attack gradually became aimless.
King Qin was very happy when he saw that the Jurchen soldiers were fighting more and more fiercely. He immediately ran forward on his horse. In front of him was the road leading to Jin Wushu's mansion.
However, Yue Pengju could clearly see that King Qin was tall and tall. He was shocked, King Qin, this is King Qin. Why is King Qin here
The only reason why King Qin appeared in the Kingdom of Jin must be because of Hua Rong.
But, while he is here, where is Hua Rong
Although the dark night was a good time to create chaos, he did not dare to reveal his identity at all and immediately ordered a retreat... This tough team quickly fled to the south of the city amid the noise of people tumbling on their backs...
At dawn, Zong Han, who was furious, counted the dead and injured, and found that most of the people lying around were his own troops, and a few outsiders, who were also genuine Jurchen soldiers. There were three red lines on the second sleeve of the body. Jin Wushu's deployment clothing logo.
He looked at the fire in his mansion and roared: "Wu Shu is going to rebel..."
The moon was setting little by little from the end of the treetops, and the pursuers behind him were getting weaker and weaker. Finally, there was no news at all. Zhahe felt happy, and stretched out his hand to pull Hua Rong, and suddenly felt that her palms were sticky. .
"Brother, are you injured?"
"No, let's go quickly."
She was afraid that Zhahe would stop, so she ran ahead like a fly. Zhahe saw her running around like a headless fly in the night, and quickly caught up with her: "Brother, I know a place where I can hide..."
"Um."
In the small inn at dawn, everything is shrouded in a smog. In Yanjing, there are many such inconspicuous hotels, inhabited by hoteliers from all over the world.
Zhahe pushed the door open and walked in. Inside, there were all gamblers who stayed up late and fought hard. Some of the gambling methods were passed down from the Song Dynasty, and some were native to Yanjing. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, this place was crowded with all kinds of people. There are Khitans, Jurchens, and Han people, all of whom speak a variety of languages. It would not be strange for anyone to mix among them.
The two entered an isolated hut. Zhahe took a look and saw that Hua Rong's left shoulder was stained red with blood, and he himself was hit by an arrow in the back. Fortunately, none of the injuries were to vital parts. Zhahe went out. , returned from a drunken Khitan businessman in exchange for a bottle of black wound medicine. The two of them bandaged the wound hastily, and when they were about to ask her, they saw her tilting her head, leaning against the dark wall, her forehead His face was covered in cold sweat. During this trip, not only was the Queen Mother unable to be rescued, but even Zhang Xian, Liu Qi and others were in danger. What should I do? Escape alone? If you stay any longer, what else can you do besides injuring this strange foreign friend
Hua Rong was about to speak when he suddenly heard a strange whistling sound coming from next door.
This kind of small shop is extremely simple, separated by only a few baffles. Because they speak different languages and have different origins, no one cares about them from all over the world. However, this kind of voice is common...
After a while, there was only a creak, the simple door panel was pushed open, and the two people apparently walked out. Hua Rong couldn't help but take a look through the crack of the broken door, and was shocked. He saw that the woman had a beautiful face. , but it was pear blossoms and rain, holding the hand of a young man with a sad expression.
The woman turned out to be Yelu Guanyin, the second wife destined by Jin Wushu.
She was speechless and speechless.
It turns out that Yelu Guanyin had a childhood sweetheart when he was in the Liao Kingdom, a man named Pang. This man surnamed Pang was a low-level officer in the Liao Kingdom and served under Yelu Guanyin's father. The Liao Kingdom fell. Later, he followed his master and surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, but his beloved woman could no longer be saved. Yelu Guanyin respected her father's life, and in order to preserve the family's prosperity, she had to marry Jin Wushu. Although she was unwilling to be the second wife, there was no other way. , I had to come and say goodbye to my lover before the wedding.
At this time, Yelv Guanyin was already more than two months pregnant. If the love affair was delayed any longer, the affair would be exposed. Although the Jurchens did not value a woman's chastity that much, the fourth prince's wife, if she married an unmarried woman, A woman who has a dark knot in her first pregnancy, I'm afraid Lord Yelu will stop dreaming about glory and wealth from now on. Yelu Guanyin was anxious, but she heard that Jin Wushu sent someone to discuss the marriage and said that the wedding would be held immediately.
Although this incident came out of nowhere, it was like a life-saving straw for her. She immediately grasped it tightly and said her final farewell to her former lover on the eve of her wedding.
