The pines are tall and straight, full of vitality. Magnolia is fragrant, and the fragrance is far away and clear.
Deep in the dark green forest, everything is quiet.
It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground.
The moment everything in the world stopped, as Xiao Mubai called out "Xia Chu", the birds flapped their wings and sang and flew, and the animals were frightened and began to flee in all directions.
Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu with sharp and cold eyes, filled with anger.
Only then did he realize that the girl was standing in the endless forest.
The surroundings are lush and dense.
And she was alone and untainted by the dust.
"Don't be angry, I'll grill the fish for you." As a broad-finned mullet jumped out of the stream, Xia Chu coaxed to Xiao Mubai softly.
She tapped her toes and the skirt of her skirt flew away.
The next moment he landed by the stream.
The stream flows quietly under the sun and is crystal clear.
The clear water and blue sky become extremely transparent here.
Listening to her soft voice, Xiao Mubai's anger had already dissipated.
With a helpless smile on his lips, he stood up and walked towards Xia Chu.
The gurgling creek and spring water tinkled the leaves.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset glow made the two of them feel like they were in a picturesque scene.
When Xia Chu looked up, rare fire clouds appeared in the sky.
Xia Chu was overjoyed and pointed at the beautiful scenery and called out: "Xiao Mubai, look quickly."
Xiao Mubai just raised his head when he saw several danger signal flares appearing in the direction of the camp in the eastern suburbs.
His expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice to Xia Chu: "Something happened in the camp."
Hearing this, Xia Chu instantly suppressed the smile on his face, got on his horse together with him, and galloped towards the camp.
"What's going on? Liang Shaoguang was taken back, wasn't he?" Xia Chu asked while urging his horse.
"It shouldn't be him. This is a signal flare for an enemy attack." Xiao Mubai looked grim.
"Enemy attack? Could it be that someone in the Liang Kingdom has disloyal intentions and wants to assassinate the king through this hunt?" Xia Chu's face also became solemn.
"There should be no one in the court who has this kind of troops." Xiao Mubai thought for a while.
He had already inspected the area around the eastern suburbs many times, and even sent people to take turns guarding a fifty-mile radius.
On their way over in the morning, they found no trace of an army ambush.
Gu Zisong was at the border of the Western Region again. He also knew clearly the number of soldiers in the hands of other generals of Liang State, and there was no sign of them being mobilized recently.
He was also confused at this time. Fortunately, he brought many guards from Qiao's mansion with him in the morning.
He has already strengthened his defenses around the eastern suburbs. No matter what happens, Prince Liang's life will not be in danger.
Although Xiao Mubai thought so in his heart, the speed of driving Zanghong was still accelerating.
Fortunately, Xia Chu now has Blazing Wings, and both horses are extremely good horses, so they can keep pace with each other.
When they were about to arrive at the camp.
Only then did we realize that the people surrounding the eastern suburbs were not Liang people.
But, Hu Jun.
Those Hu troops numbered more than 100,000, and they formed a circle, tightly surrounding the camp in the eastern suburbs.
Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai were both surprised and looked at each other.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Mubai asked Xia Chu to go back to Tianlu City first and go to Qiao Mansion to find General Qiao.
When Xia Chu saw that he was going to fight alone to get there, Xiao Mubai had no choice but to whistle, and an owl flew down from the sky.
He pulled off a bright red satin edge from Xia Chu's skirt and tied it to the owl's leg. He raised his hands into the air, and the owl spread its wings and flew in the direction of Qiao's mansion.
Xiao Mubai pulled out Chengying from his waist. The sword was like frost and snow, and came out of the sheath, with a silver glow all over his body.
In an instant, a figure in black robes was seen. Without any hesitation, his sword skills were sharp and sharp. His wrist was rotated gently, and the Shadow Bearing Sword danced like lightning, going straight into the enemy's weak points and fatal points.
At dusk, when light and darkness intersect, silver light shines and blood overflows.
Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu fought a bloody road.
And when they rushed in, the people inside were also fighting outside.
The bloody path they fought through just opened a gap in the surrounding Hu army.
Xiao Mubai was the first to see Han Sa, and when they met him, he briefly asked: "How is the king?"
"In the king's tent, safe and sound." Han Sa took the time to reply while swinging his sword to kill the oncoming Hu Jun.
Xiao Mubai and Han Sa opened a gap, Xiao Mubai waved his hand and patted his wings, and the maroon horse rushed into the camp with a red figure.
At this time, King Liang and King Hu were both in the same tent.
King Hu looked extremely embarrassed, and said to King Liang apologetically: "I can't stand you this time, and I put you in danger as well."
"Father, Qiao Mobai has sent a message to Qiao Mansion. We are still holding on for a while, just wait until he comes with his troops to suppress it." Xia Chu opened the curtain and came in to comfort King Liang.
King Liang and King Hu felt a little relieved after hearing this.
"Where is the stranger?" King Liang heard that Xiao Mubai just sent a letter back, so he should have come in with Xia Chu.
"He is still fighting bloody battles outside. I will go ahead and report back to reassure my father." Xia Chu explained to King Liang, then looked at King Hu, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on with Hu Jun outside?" ?”
"Two hours ago, we were suddenly besieged, and the news could not be sent out." King Liang looked at King Hu's old face, which turned red with embarrassment, and answered Xia Chu's question for him.
King Liang immediately went to look for Xiao Mubai, only to find that neither he nor Xia Chu was in the camp.
Then he ordered Han Sa to set off a signal flare for Xiao Mubai.
The original intention was for him to return to Beijing and lead troops to wipe out these Hu troops.
Unexpectedly, neither Xia Chu nor Xiao Mubai went back, but only sent a letter to General Qiao.
"Prince Liang, I have no intention of embarrassing you. As long as you hand over that old man Hu Lishun, I will let you return to the capital. From now on, you and I, Daliang and the State of Hu, can still have diplomatic relations forever."
A man's heroic voice sounded outside the camp. When he said the three words "Hu Lishun", King Hu stood up and became angry.
But after he finished speaking, King Hu's face was filled with panic again and he looked at King Liang and hurriedly said to him: "King Liang, if Gu can't go back, Hu and Liang will inevitably go to war. So do you and me. We are here because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. You also know that I came here with Jing'er with the intention of marrying you. In both emotional and rational terms, you cannot believe his lies."
If King Liang really retreats at this time, he is afraid that he will really die here.
Xia Chu looked at King Hu who looked ugly. She originally thought that someone was taking advantage of this hunting to assassinate King Liang.
What he didn't expect was that, through the siege and hunting, it was actually King Hu who was going to be killed.
It is true that every country has a hard-to-recite scripture.
There is no dragon chair that satisfies one's wishes.
