Now that Duanmu was arrested, General Baili's pursuit was also a tactic, and he could only watch helplessly as Prince Duanmu was held hostage by Zhu Shuai and the others, and flew away in the dust.
Until, when they got close to Tianyan City, General Baili didn't dare to chase him any more. If he chases after him again, if he encounters a large-scale attack by the Yan army, he will not even be able to protect himself. He had no choice but to go back to Rakshasa City.
In the sky, Zhu Shuai held Young Marshal Linghu in his arms and rode the nine-tailed phoenix, soaring dazzlingly like a god, flapping his wings and flying high under a bright moon.
Looking down from a high altitude, seeing that General Baili was no longer chasing him and had already turned his horse back, Zhu Shuai let go of his tense emotions and heaved a sigh of relief, but his arms around Linghu Shuiyue were tight. Tightened.
From the moment he saw Linghu Shuiyue, Zhu Shuai wanted to know how Linghu Shuiyue spent his day and night in the enemy army, but he never had time to ask, nor could he ask.
When the two countries fight each other, the most feared thing is not death, but falling into the hands of the enemy and becoming a prisoner. That is the cruelest thing!
He has seen such things a lot, and he is used to seeing life and death, and he has never been as impatient as this time, which almost disturbed his calmness in strategizing in the past, and lost the demeanor of a coach.
"Let's go down! You are wearing thin clothes and flying so high, will it be cold?" Zhu Shuai asked softly.
Linghu Shuiyue finally escaped from the enemy army and returned to Dayan. Apart from Zhu Shuai's rescue, half of the credit goes to this phoenix. She was so excited that she was reluctant to get off the phoenix. : "Zhu Shuai, don't you like this nine-tailed kite? This should be the legendary phoenix, right?"
Zhu Youhong said: "Of course I like it! It's all because of it that we can go so smoothly tonight, otherwise, even if we can escape, we will suffer heavy casualties. But if we drive a phoenix into the city like this, it will be too shocking."
"Well, let's go down later!" Linghu Shuiyue hugged the Nine-tailed Iris, touched its neck and head, and said, "Are you a phoenix bird? Your feathers are really beautiful! How should I call you?" What? Well, let me think of a name for you first!"
Linghu Shuiyue was excited and excited. After thinking for a while, she said to herself, "Should I call you Jiuweifeng? Or Xiao Jiu? Well, Xiao Jiu is more kind. Yes! Let's call you Xiao Jiu." Already!"
Linghu Shuiyue was so excited for a moment that she even forgot to pretend to be a man's voice without realizing it. The girl's innocence was revealed, and she even patted her small palms, her voice soft and sweet.
"Ahem!" Zhu Youhong's name was ranked as the ninth master, and this girl called the giant bird Xiaojiu! This is his nickname! When he was young, the Empress Dowager called him Xiao Jiu.
"Change the name! Call it Feihuang, Phoenix, Kite Bird, Caifeng or something." Ninth Master Zhu Youhong felt that when Linghu Shuiyue called a Phoenix Xiaojiu, he would think someone was calling him.
Linghu Shuiyue realized that she was too excited, so she quickly lowered her voice, made it hoarse, and recovered a man's voice: "But, I like to call it Xiao Jiu. Its feathers have nine colors, and it has nine tails, and the word nine. Very fate. So, I decided to call it Xiaojiu."
Zhu Youhong was silent, and he didn't want to argue with her, a little girl, on how to name the bird. Hearing her cheerful voice, full of interest, he finally dared to ask her: "I'm sorry! I only came to save you this day and night. Have you... been wronged? Did Duanmu torture you?"
"No! He is very good to me, surprisingly good!"
"good?"
