Chu Jinyao hugged Brother Lu and prayed all the way that the child would not cry. Fortunately, Brother Lu seemed to feel something. Although he was kicking his hands and feet all the way, fortunately he did not cry.
But this kind of luck came to an abrupt end when the torches suddenly thickened outside and the sound of running.
Chu Jinyao's hand around Brother Lu couldn't help tightening. The change outside happened in an instant, and it was conceivable that Chu Jinxian was seen through.
Chu Jinyao didn't know whether she should be glad that Chu Jin was not mistaken for a crown princess and would have no worries about her life, or whether she should worry about her current situation getting worse.
General Hu was furious when he learned that the woman he took great effort to catch was not the crown princess. After he asked the soldiers who found Chu Jinxian, he quickly deduced that the real crown princess did not run far away, but was nearby. .
This village is so big. This is a plain, and outside the village is a neatly lined farmland. There is no hiding place at all. Once he runs out of the village, he will be actively exposed, so Chu Jinyao can hide in very limited places.
Even if General Hu was certain that the capital was in chaos now, but this was the suburbs of Beijing, he didn't dare to delay for too long. Seeing that the hours passed, General Hu was no longer impatient, and he was too lazy to play the literati trick of salute before soldiers. He directly surrounded the village and let the soldiers push the captured people to the front, shouting loudly at the silent and dark night sky. : "The front line was defeated, and the community was in critical condition. Some unscrupulous people took advantage of the chaos to kidnap the princess, and now they are hiding inside. General Hu was ordered to come to welcome the princess to return to the dynasty. If you stop here and send the princess out, General spare you not to die, otherwise..."
The soldier slammed his knife out, and quickly put it on the necks of the people in front: "If you are still obsessed, then these comrades will be your fate."
Chu Jinxian felt the coldness on her neck, she closed her eyes in fear, but she was thinking in her heart not to come out.
Chu Jinxian firmly believed that the prince valued Chu Jinyao, the court would not give up on Chu Jinyao, as long as Chu Jinyao could go back alive, then Brother Lu would have a chance.
One is the child she gave birth to after she fought for half her life, and the other is her ill-fated sister who left home since childhood. Neither of them should have died in the hands of such a wolf-like ambition. They should live well, better than anyone else. it is good.
The night sky was still silent, and only the sound of the wind blowing across the wilderness could be heard.
The Zhuang family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who took in Chu Jinyao’s group were also brought over. They were pushed to the ground by the soldiers. If the party lied, they committed the capital crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, come here, take these two hot knives first."
The icy machete was raised high, and the two innocent mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were kneeling beside Chu Jinxian. She couldn't bear to look any longer, and turned her head with her eyes closed.
The Zhuang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were kneeling like puppets, and Chu Jinmiao was mixed in the crowd. Seeing this scene, she was really relieved: "You deserve it, now you regret saving her. She is a disaster star. Everyone around is unlucky."
From the palace maid, to Chu Jinxian's dowry maid, to the nurse and the village woman, these people never knew each other, and they didn't even communicate with each other, but they all agreed and carefully protected the same belief. However, this precious and fragile secret was maliciously exposed by a woman. This person was even the sister of Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao, the fourth young lady who had been raised by the Marquis of Changxing for thirteen years.
Chu Jinxian closed her eyes, this was the first time she had such a strong hatred. She was sorry for the Zhuang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Chu Jinxian was even thinking about why she didn't strangle this poisonous snake when Chu Jinmiao was a child.
The machete slid across the air with a cold light, almost faintly causing the sound of wind. Chu Jinxian endured it for a while, then opened her eyes in shock. She heard it right, there was indeed a sound of breaking the air, but it came from another direction.
The soldier who raised the knife still maintained the original movement, but his eyes enlarged randomly, his throat rolled cooingly, and then looking down, there was a cold arrow stuck in his chest, and the feather at the end of the arrow was still shaking slightly. With the jumping firelight, you can vaguely see the logo of the imperial army.
With an arrow pierced through the heart, the soldier could no longer support his standing posture, and fell to the ground on his back. General Hu did not see any heartache when one of his subordinates died. On the contrary, abnormal excitement flashed in his eyes, his eyes were fixed on the front, and the veins on his neck were twitching.
At the end of the desolate and solemn rural road, a figure was standing quietly, the darkness slowly moved back, and her face was revealed in front of everyone.
The moment he saw her face, General Hu was sure that this was the Crown Princess.
There is no reason, and don't ask anyone to corroborate it. Although she was wearing a commoner and Jing Chai, there was no grand guard of honor and no servants like clouds, but General Hu was sure that she could be a beautiful princess who could make the crown prince seek marriage from thousands of miles away. General Hu just thought that the princess' sister was really a beauty, but now it seems that he has seen too few beauties.
All the heroes and beauties in the world have entered the imperial family. After seeing Chu Jinyao, General Hu's blood boiled all over. At first glance, such a woman can remind people of power, wealth and status. Because there is no powerful enough power, she can't keep such a beautiful woman at all. This is the beauty that the son and grandson of the dragon can endure. General Hu's desire for kingship has reached its peak at this moment. A man's lifelong pursuit is nothing but power and beauty. As long as he steps on that position, all he can have is this An almost glorious woman.
"Prince Concubine." General Hu did not ask, but said directly and confidently, "Xiaguan heard that you were kidnapped by the rebels, and came to rescue you. The Concubine was shocked."
Chu Jinyao's face was illuminated by the firelight in front of her, and the other half of her body was still standing in the dark. She looked at the crowd in front of her. A tall warrior was surrounded by people. It must be the culprit of all this, Zhuang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Being pushed to the ground, Chu Jinxian was also put on the neck with a knife. Chu Jinyao even saw a few palace servants in Changhe Garden, and they were also tied up. This warrior is really timid.
Chu Jinyao was looking at the person who came, and the person opposite was also looking at her. Chu Jinxian's eyes were full of disapproval. When Chu Jinyao saw it, she gave her sister a reassuring smile. When she decided to come out, she handed Brother Lu to a guard and asked him to take Brother Lu to Zhao's house. Or, go to Qin Yi.
If she can't survive this test, at least her sister's blood can be passed down.
Chu Jinyao smiled lightly, obviously causing a lot of shock to the group of madmen on the opposite side. Chu Jinyao ignored it. She was about to withdraw her gaze when she suddenly swept across a person who shouldn't be here.
Chu Jinmiao? Chu Jinyao suddenly realized, no wonder Chu Jinxian's plan failed, and no wonder this warrior would bring people around here. Chu Jinyao remembered what Duan Yinghua had said that Chu Jinmiao was locked up in Zhuangzi by the Marquis of Changxing, and was strictly guarded by his wife and servants. It is not difficult to find an opportunity to escape from this. It's just that the maid next to Chu Jinmiao is gone. Presumably, this maid, like the Su family, has become a stepping stone for Chu Jinmiao.
Zhuangzi and Changheyuan who imprisoned Chu Jinmiao were in the same direction, and Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao happened to choose the same village to avoid chaos. This is probably the fate of the two of them.
Just like in the seventh year of Jianxing, Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao were both born in that war. They were both girls, and even their birth dates were almost the same. When Zhao shi pointed at the Su family with a single finger, it was about that moment. It was already doomed that Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao would have today's disaster.
Just like grass seedlings and weeds that are forced to grow in the same place, there are only so many nutrients, so only one of the good and the bad can live well. In the first half, Chu Jinmiao robbed Chu Jinyao of the nutrients, brocade clothes and jade food, and thousands of pets. Later, Chu Jinyao turned her life around with the help of the destiny jade pendant, and she went up step by step until she reached the distance from the world's supreme woman. The place is just a step away. She is getting stronger and stronger, Chu Jinmiao can only struggle and wither in poverty. Now, Chu Jinmiao had accumulated for a long time, and under the prejudice of fate, Chu Jinyao was given a fatal blow. Chu Jinyao's life is now at stake, but when she looked at the woman across the crowd, her mood was unprecedentedly calm. The two of them tormented each other for so long, and it was finally time for a complete break.
True and false daughters, true and false lives, true and false identities, since only one person is true, only one person can live with peace of mind. Today's game is doomed, because no matter who wins, he will never let the other party go.
"Prince Concubine, please go to the rear and take a break for a while, and the next official will destroy these chaotic parties."
"The chaotic party?" Chu Jinyao smiled disdainfully, "You've already come this far, so why bother giving yourself such a false name. If you want to rebel, just say it openly, I can still look up to you. One glance. You are sneaky, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and the foreign enemy does not think about fighting the enemy in front of you, but instead uses force to kill the defenseless people, these actions of you are just a speculative villain. "
General Hu did not expect that a female streamer would be able to say such sonorous and sharp words. He thought that this kind of aristocratic female family was just a canary with a superficial appearance, and something with a bigger needle point could be frightened and fainted. Who. But when Chu Jinxian pretended to be the crown princess to lure away the pursuers, he was surprised. Now that he heard Chu Jinyao's words, General Hu was even more surprised.
General Hu's desire to explore became stronger and stronger. When he achieved hegemony, he would have enough time to explore these delicate aristocratic women, but now, he couldn't waste time.
"Prince Concubine has a good tongue, but you are willing to stand in the cold wind to delay time, but this general has no such patience. Come on, go and invite the Concubine to come over."
The soldiers who looked like a few soldiers took two steps forward when several secret guards jumped out from both sides of the township road, which had been silent just now, reaping people's lives like killing machines. However, no matter how well-trained the dark guards were, they couldn't match the many opponents. Seeing that they were fighting and retreating, Chu Jinyao silently clenched the cold dagger in his sleeve.
Chu Jinyao couldn't help but look up at the sky. The wind was strong today, and there were no clouds in the sky. The stars seemed to be brightened by the cold wind. The night sky was amazingly dark and the stars were amazingly bright. Chu Jinyao said apologetically in her heart. Qin Yi, I probably won't be able to accompany you on the next journey.
I wish you to rule the world as soon as possible, to reconcile the government, and all countries to come to the dynasty.
Chu Jinyao was guarded by the secret guard in the middle, but the protection circle was shrinking little by little. Chu Jinyao slowly and firmly pulled out the dagger. It was as if she was looking at a picture of a lady in the crowd, as calm as before, almost making people suspect that she didn't understand what she was doing.
"Prince Princess (Jin Yao)!"
The exclamations from the crowd stopped, and Chu Jinyao ignored the shouts in different tones, and had already put the dagger in front of her throat. Her neck is slender and slender, and with a single cut, she can quickly end this beautiful life.
When the emperor was captured, Qin Yi was the next king, rightfully so. This was the honor that belonged to him by nature. Chu Jinyao does not allow anyone to hurt him or hinder him, even if that person is herself.
The news that the prince concubine killed herself with her unborn child will definitely stimulate the hearts of the people and the army. Qin Yi's reorganization of the army and the crusade against the chaotic party must be what the people want. On the contrary, if there is a detained crown princess, he will not talk about it, and the people will criticize the East Palace a lot. How could Chu Jinyao let such a thing happen.
Of course, the dark guard knew what Chu Jinyao was going to do, but no one stopped them. Are they unfaithful? Obviously not, they were using their lives to resist the sword in front of them, and they were protecting Chu Jinyao despite their injuries.
Loyalty and filial piety are both the most noble names in the etiquette, but loyalty is much more complicated than filial piety. Chu Jinyao didn't have time to think about the life problem of loyalty and filial piety. Almost at the same moment when she decided to act ruthlessly, there was a sudden gust of wind, and then there was a sound of thumping and falling to the ground, and there was a faint sound of a warhorse snoring. sound.
General Hu turned his head back in horror: "Impossible, why is there no hooves?"
In fact, when General Hu thinks about it, he can understand that it is difficult for a warrior like him who is ups and downs at the bottom, but for the ancient city not far away that has experienced many blood coups, how to make the horseshoe not make a sound at night , it is really a simple thing. The easiest way is to wrap it in cotton cloth. And General Hu's men were still lighting torches at night, which was simply a bright target.
The crowd, who had been regulated just now, was in chaos after being attacked back and forth. The children who were taken as hostages were frightened and began to cry. Taking advantage of the chaos, Chu Jinxian pushed away the soldiers who were guarding her, and hurried to the side of the road, ignoring the image of a noble girl. At this time, General Hu was of course not in the mood to care about those officials and family members. Three cold arrows flew by his side. The arrows were fast and sharp, and the wind of the arrows almost scratched people's skin. He vaguely heard an angry shout from the opposite side, and the next moment, General Hu finally saw the owner of these arrows.
At that moment, General Hu even thought about it. He heard that the Queen Hua, the sisters of the current emperor, are rare beauties. From this perspective, the rumors should be true.
But before General Hu could finish thinking about this offensive and presumptuous thought, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder. He endured the pain without saying a word, shouted "withdraw", and took the lead in running away into the darkness.
The Imperial Guards who followed Qin Yi and gathered in a hurry were really going crazy. The emperor had already been captured alive. If there was another problem with the prince, they could really kill themselves in place, and there was no need to go back. Before they left the capital, they repeatedly persuaded the prince not to leave the capital, but it was of no use. Now that he saw the chaotic ministers and thieves, the prince rushed faster than the others, almost broke away from the protection circle, and rushed to the front.
They were scared to death.
In fact, at this time, Qin Yi was in the same mood.
He used an arrow to push back General Hu. Once the opponent left the dangerous area, Qin Yi immediately turned his horse's head and galloped in the other direction. The accident happened in an instant. Chu Jinyao only heard the screams coming from the opposite side. Before she could react, she saw a person breaking through the crowd and the twilight. moonlight.
Chu Jinyao blinked forcefully, and she was finally sure that what she saw in front of her eyes was not a vision before her death. Disregarding the danger outside, she immediately pushed aside the dark guard and ran forward: "His Royal Highness!"
Qin Yifei dismounted, and caught Chu Jinyao with three steps and two steps. He almost used all his strength to hug her into his arms: "What stupid thing are you doing!"
Chu Jinyao didn't understand this sentence, she subconsciously wanted to hug him back, only then did she realize that she was still holding a dagger in her hand.
Qin Yi had already grabbed the dagger with his backhand and kicked it away from a distance, his eyes like Han Jian swept the dark guard behind him with murderous intent: "Who gave her the dagger?"
