There were shouts of killing outside, the carriage accelerated rapidly, and the three girls were swayed from side to side in the carriage, each finding a protruding place to hold on to stabilize themselves.
Jingmei Jinglan was so scared that her face was pale, but she still tried to calm down. The arrows smashed against the wall of the car one by one, as if they were going to penetrate the wall at any time.
"His Royal Highness," Jinglan said, trembling, "the carriage... will the carriage be shot through?"
Just by listening to the sound of arrows colliding outside, you can know what kind of arrow rain is outside. If it wasn't for a specially made carriage, they would have been shot into a sieve long ago.
Li Rong supported herself, listened to the voices outside, and said calmly: "Don't panic, the carriage won't pierce through, it may overturn in a while, you guys hold steady."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a scream from the horse outside, and the world turned upside down in the carriage. Li Rong exerted force in her hands to stabilize herself not to roll with the force of the carriage, but she was still attacked by the giant force and slammed into the wall of the carriage. .
Li Rong breathed a sigh of relief and saw a guard lift the curtain and said anxiously, "Come out, Your Highness."
Li Rong didn't have time to worry about her demeanor, so she rushed out in a hurry and told Jingmei Jinglan, "You guys run to other places."
After speaking, Li Rong rushed to the side with the guards, got on his horse, and galloped towards Butterfly Gorge.
Jinglan Jingmei climbed out of the carriage and ran towards the other side of the forest.
Shangguanya had already ambushed people on the mountains on both sides of Butterfly Gorge, and they had to hurry to find Shangguanya.
Li Rong rushed to the Butterfly Gorge under the protection of the guards. The guards and the killers behind him fought and retreated, leading those killers to rush in. Shangguanya stood at a high place, watching those killers being introduced into Butterfly Gorge by Li Rong. Most of the people rushed in, and Shangguanya shouted: "falling stone!"
As soon as the words fell, the stone was pushed down from both sides of the canyon, cutting the killer's team in half.
Pei Wenxuan was plucking the strings when he heard the rapid sound of hooves. As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Rong, dressed in red, rushing towards him, guarded by guards. The entrance of Butterfly Gorge was covered by boulders on the spot, causing billowing dust and smoke, and then Li Rong rode his horse and trampled on the stream and peony all the way to dive towards him, loudly saying: "Pei Wenxuan get out of the way!"
The killer and the guards behind her fought and the two groups of people fought all the way in the sea of flowers. Pei Wenxuan just watched as the peony trees were trampled by them, slashing at the flowers with a knife and a knife, and the petals were flying all over the sky. Li Rong came galloping from the red-clothed horse, from the sea of flowers.
Pei Wenxuan's face turned pale, he looked at the peony that he found out after he had collected a lot of money around the entire Huajing, watching these peony flowers turned into petals flying all over the sky during the fight, and those people didn't know it, it was difficult to fight Hard to tell.
He was trembling with anger, unable to speak.
Li Rong rode his horse to his side, turned over and jumped down, pulled him up and said, "What are you still standing for? Run!"
After speaking, Pei Wenxuan was dragged by Li Rong and rushed forward, the killer rushed over after Li Rong, the guard stopped behind the killer, Li Rong turned to look at her guard, and loudly said: "Withdraw! withdraw!"
"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan finally reacted, he realized what happened, he looked up at Li Rong, and anxiously wanted to say the words he had prepared for a long time, "I'm waiting here to..."
"Hold your breath!"
Before Pei Wenxuan could finish speaking, Li Rong pushed him into the icy lake.
Li Rong pushed her swiftly and decisively, as if she had used all her strength, but Pei Wenxuan was pushed down without any precaution.
The lake water poured into Pei Wenxuan's mouth and nose. Fortunately, he subconsciously obeyed Li Rong's words and held his breath.
After falling into the water, the most important thing is to calm down. Pei Wenxuan was flustered for only a moment, then he calmed down and adjusted his posture, and then he felt that someone pulled him and dragged him forward.
Pei Wenxuan knew that this was Li Rong, so he followed Li Rong quickly. The two swam less than 100 meters forward, and Li Rong dragged him up to the surface. As soon as he showed his head, he felt the mountain shake for a while, and Pei Wenxuan grabbed it. Staying in Li Rong, grabbed the shore, and then the two quickly climbed ashore.
It was cold in winter, and as soon as the two of them went ashore, they felt a biting coldness swept up.
Before Pei Wenxuan could ask what was going on, Li Rong trembled and hurried to the side, took a package, pulled out her clothes, threw one to Pei Wenxuan, and trembled, "Put it on."
Saying that, she ignored Pei Wenxuan's presence and started undressing directly.
Pei Wenxuan turned back in a hurry, and didn't dare to look at her, things were developing too fast, and he was caught off guard.
After the clothes were changed, her hair was still wet, but the warmth calmed her nervousness a little bit. Li Rong turned around, looked at Pei Wenxuan, smiled and said, "Scared you?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he pursed his lips and stared at Li Rong.
"Your people should be fine," Li Rong saw that he seemed dissatisfied, thinking that he was worried about the safety of the people outside, and reassured, "I just ordered your people to withdraw first, and these explosives have a safe range. area, when I came before, I told you that it is not a last resort, and you must ensure that everyone enters the safe area before lighting the gunpowder."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
Li Rong saw that his expression was different and couldn't help but say, "What did you want to say to me just now?"
"nothing."
Pei Wenxuan turned his head away, hiding his expression, and turned to look at the bright spot outside the cave: "Is it all arranged by Your Highness today?"
"Don't you know?" Li Rong laughed, "Don't be angry, I know it all in my heart. Just now, they have been blocked on both sides, and a small number of people are blocked outside. I asked Shangguanya to capture some of the outsiders alive. The evidence of the Chen family's assassination is stable."
"His Royal Highness is using himself as bait." Pei Wenxuan's voice was very low, and Li Rong sneered: "I don't have the patience to spend with them, they come out from time to time, and I can't guard against them every day, it's better Lead them out and catch them all."
"Too risky."
Pei Wenxuan suppressed his voice, he seemed a little absent-minded, trying to restrain himself, Li Rong could see that, she hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I won't do it in the future, don't worry."
Pei Wenxuan looked outside the cave, but remained silent. Li Rong glanced at his messy hair and the clothes he had taken off. Only then did she notice that today's Pei Wenxuan was wearing white clothes.
He has not worn white for many years.
Li Rong didn't know why, but she felt a little flustered. She wanted to say something, but Pei Wenxuan was silent, and she didn't know where to say it.
The sound of slashing and slashing from outside became quieter, and after a while, Shangguanya's voice came from outside, and said loudly, "Your Highness, are you okay, Your Highness?"
"I am here."
Li Rong immediately raised her voice, Shangguan Ya looked for the voice and led people in. She had a happy expression on her face, and it seemed that she had met something good. She saluted Li Rong, and then nodded with Pei Wenxuan: "Sir Pei ."
Pei Wenxuan returned the salute silently, and Shangguan Yacai turned his head and said to Li Rong, "His Royal Highness, 12 people were captured alive today, and 10 people were injured on our side, and the rest are fine."
"Take the person back for trial first."
Li Rong immediately said: "The bodies are also brought back and checked one by one."
"Yes."
After Shangguanya finished speaking, she looked at Li Rong up and down: "Go back first, don't catch the cold, leave the rest to me."
Saying that, Shangguanya looked at Pei Wenxuan and smiled: "The concubine has made a great contribution this time, and His Highness said that he will reward you."
Pei Wenxuan's expression remained unchanged, and he only said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Rong nodded, not knowing what to say, so she raised her hand and pointed outside.
"Let's go."
Pei Wenxuan nodded and walked out directly. Shangguanya also noticed that something was wrong. She walked beside Li Rong and whispered, "Your Highness, the concubine looks very unhappy."
Li Rong responded, looking at Pei Wenxuan's thin back, the small fan lightly tapped on the palm of his hand, as if thinking about something.
After walking out, Li Rong saw a mess, the body was lying in a sea of flowers, the stream was stained red with blood, the tables, chairs and piano that Pei Wenxuan had prepared were smashed to the ground, and the stove with warm wine rolled on the ground. aside.
Seeing such a scene, Pei Wenxuan paused, and after a while, he didn't say a word, put his hands in his sleeves, stepped on the sea of flowers, and walked all the way forward.
He was wearing a black cloak, his hair was loose, and the chopped peony petals were blown by the wind, and Li Rong looked up and saw the man's back walking out of the canyon, gradually drifting away.
"In this winter," Shangguanya was a little surprised, "where did he get so many peonies?"
Li Rong's eyes fell on the peony beside her. She was stunned for a while, and then stepped to the edge of the piano table.
She raised her hand and touched the guqin, and when she saw the word "green sandalwood" engraved on it, she instantly remembered that it was Pei Wenxuan's favorite qin.
Manshan Shaoyao, the most cherished guqin, if he was cooperating with her to attract the enemy, why should he give up such a big thought
Li Rong stared blankly at all of this, Shangguanya reacted instantly after being surprised for a while, she hurried to Li Rong's side, shoved the qin into Li Rong's arms, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, what are you still doing? Hurry up. Catch up!"
"Chase..." Li Rong raised her head blankly, "Chase up?"
"Come up, otherwise the concubine will be very sad." Shangguanya pulled Li Rong up with a serious face and pushed her, "Hurry up, I'll help you disperse everyone, you can speak with confidence."
Li Rong hugged Qin and was at a loss for a while. Shangguanya kept pushing her. After a while, she came to her senses and said coldly, "Stop pushing, I'll go over."
Saying that, Li Rong hugged Qin and walked through the crowd.
She walked extremely fast, but extremely restrained, like a taut string. She lost a lot of strength. She wanted to catch up with that person, but she was afraid of losing her posture. She walked quickly behind Pei Wenxuan and shouted loudly. Call him: "Pei Wenxuan."
Pei Wenxuan stopped, he didn't look back, Li Rong pursed her lips and whispered, "Your piano."
Pei Wenxuan was silent for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse: "If the piano is broken, don't let it go."
Li Rong couldn't say what she felt, but she felt like she was hit by this broken violin.
Pei Wenxuan said no, it doesn't seem that he doesn't want the piano, but...
Li Rong didn't let herself think about it, she just held the qin and said coldly, "This qin has been with you for a long time, and it can still be used after a repair."
"I've done it too many times," Pei Wenxuan said slowly, "No need."
Li Rong grasped the piano tightly, Pei Wenxuan turned back gently, he looked at Li Rong, Li Rong had no expression on her face, he looked at her seriously, after a long time, he laughed: "His Royal Highness, I have been preparing for a long time today, peony is I bought it with a lot of money, and the clothes were also praised by His Highness back then, everything is according to His Highness’s preferences, I am afraid that His Highness will not like it.”
As he spoke, he seemed embarrassed, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the petals on the ground, with a smile on his lips: "Your Highness should have informed me in advance."
"I thought you knew."
Li Rong said calmly: "You have always been smart, and you know what you see. I took you out just after you were assassinated. I thought you had already noticed it and probed me secretly, so I cooperated with me to move these flowers to Butterfly Gorge with such a big fanfare. "
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's you who lost your accustomed reason."
"Your Highness said yes." Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I never understood why His Highness was so resistant to love affairs, but now I understand."
After speaking, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Rong: "If there is one person in my heart, it is inevitable that I will lose my temper. I have already noticed that Your Highness is different, but I would think that this is His Highness's favor to me, that I have lost my sense and almost Interfering with His Highness's plans."
Every time Pei Wenxuan said a word, it stuck in Li Rong's heart. Li Rong hugged Qin tightly. For the first time, she knew that a plain sentence could be so hurtful.
But she couldn't show it, she listened to Pei Wenxuan indifferently: "It's Wei Chen's fault, rest assured, Your Highness, it won't be like this in the future."
After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, Jin Ya saluted, then turned and walked out.
When Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan leave, her fingers were firmly clasped on the piano. Seeing people walking away, she finally couldn't help it and stopped him: "Pei Wenxuan!"
Pei Wenxuan didn't look back, he continued to walk forward, Li Rong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Why do you have the final say? You said that you want to be a friend, so be a friend. Now if you say that you are not a friend, you are not. Come. It's up to you, it's up to you to go, what qualifications do you have to play such a temper with me?!"
"Yes," Pei Wenxuan stopped, turned his head, and scolded like Li Rong, "I'm not qualified, I've never been qualified, I was not in your heart before, and now I don't do anything in your heart. I'm not here. In your heart, so I don't even have the power to like you to accompany you to pursue you, right?"
Li Rong's eyes widened, and Pei Wenxuan looked at her expression and laughed mockingly: "Are you surprised? Didn't you already know?"
With that said, Pei Wenxuan stepped forward, he clenched his fists, restrained himself, and in the range that only the two of them could hear, he pressed his voice: "You obviously know everything, but you hide it in your heart, you pretend not to I know, but I just hope that I can maintain the so-called friendship with you as before, and then continue to treat you well."
"You don't want to be with me," Pei Wenxuan's voice trembled a little, "but you can't bear my talents, and you can't bear my kindness to you. So you showed me goodwill to keep me, and at the same time you were close to me. Reject me, but Li Rong," Pei Wenxuan's eyes turned red, "Emotions can't be trampled on like this. You can say that you don't like me, but you must at least respect this like."
"Today's affairs, as long as you pay attention, you won't know anything."
"I can't guess your conspiracy. It's not that I'm stupid, but I'm more willing to believe. You called me out because you really wanted to go to a place with me to relax, and it has nothing to do with these conspiracies."
"And you know what I'm doing, but you can't guess what I'm doing. It's not because you don't understand, but in your heart, you're more willing to believe that I'm playing tricks, rather than..." Pei Wenxuan paused, he stared at Looking at the woman in front of him who had heard everything he said, her expression did not change at all.
He suddenly felt tired and embarrassed, and he even felt that if he said this, he would really lose completely, even the last bit of dignity.
"Not what?" Li Rong raised her head and looked at him quietly.
Pei Wenxuan got these extremely calm eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: "His Royal Highness is still better at chess."
After speaking, he turned his head and said hoarsely: "His Royal Highness has something to deal with, and Wei Chen retire."
"Pei Wenxuan." Li Rong's voice was a little tired. She looked at the ground and said in a low voice, "I have never said these words to you."
"You are not the only one who feels that your feelings have been trampled on, and you are not the only one who feels sorry for yourself."
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while. After Li Rong said this, she felt lost again. She took a deep breath, turned around holding the piano, and tried to calm herself down: "You go back first, I have to do things."
"Your Highness..."
"go back!"
Li Rong shouted loudly, but Pei Wenxuan didn't speak. He quietly looked at Li Rong's arrogant back like a sword. After a long time, he raised his hand and bowed to Li Rong.
"Wei Chen waits for His Highness to go home."
His voice was low and pleading.
Li Rong stopped, and after a long time, she responded, "Yeah."
