She wanted to speak, and had a lot to say, but when she opened her mouth, she could only make a dumb whine.
Li Ce, do you know? Mr. Wu died, Miss Yu died, many people died, Yan Xun killed many people. You said, will he kill me
Li Ce, Zhuge Yue is also dead, I killed him. do you know? I killed him.
Li Ce, you are right, Yanbei is really cold, people's hearts are frozen to death, even the vows are frozen.
The world was suddenly so empty, Chu Qiao leaned in Li Ce's arms, and fell asleep slowly, exhaustion crawled all over her face. Li Ce lowered his head, only feeling that she was so pale and thin. He thought he was really crazy. When he thought of the powerful crossbow he saw when he arrived just now, he would go crazy with fear. If he was one step late, one step late...
The strong wind blew on them, he took off his fur and wrapped Chu Qiao in his arms. She was so thin, huddled into a small ball, like a young child.
He raised his head, looked at the heavy snow flying all over the sky, at the murderous Great Xia Xiongbing on the opposite side, and at the majestic and towering Longyin Pass, an uncontrollable anger arose in his heart.
Yan Xun, how can you bear it
How can you bear it
"Your Majesty, Great Xia sent an envoy to ask me why Datang interfered in Great Xia's internal affairs. How should my subordinates respond?"
The guard dismounted and rushed forward, Li Ce hugged Chu Qiao, and said with a cold expression, "Tell Zhao Yang, I, Li Ce, took the man away. If you want, I will wait for you in Tang Jing."
"Your Majesty, someone brought them here." Tie You stepped forward, followed by a middle-aged man with tattoos on his face, who was the leader of the group who just jumped down from the snow peak and rescued Chu Qiao in time.
Li Ce's face softened a little, nodded and said: "Thanks to you."
The man with the tattoo lowered his head and replied, "We are few in number. If it weren't for His Majesty the Tang Emperor, Lord Chu would be in danger."
"In short, it was you who came to the rescue in time. I will keep this kindness in my heart, and if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay it."
"Don't dare, I am also following orders."
Li Ce raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked tentatively, "Your master?"
"My master has already stopped the Yanbei army, and has arranged to meet him at every pass. Tang Huang, hurry up and get on the road, we will cut off the rear for you."
Li Ce nodded slowly, with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. Take care." After saying that, he left quickly with the Bian Tang army and the Xiuli army.
The defenders of Longyin Pass are less than 60,000. Seeing Li Ce come with nearly 200,000 troops, he didn't know whether he should go out of the city to pursue them. The general of the defending army weighed it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Quick, go and ask His Majesty for instructions."
The soldiers heaved a sigh of relief, that's great, after asking for instructions, these evil stars should have disappeared without a trace.
In less than half an hour, when the team arrived at Shichuankou, a team of about 2,000 people was waiting quietly. After Li Ce's men negotiated a few words, the group left a carriage and turned away.
Tie You came back and said: "It's the same group who said that they had prepared horses and food for us twenty miles ahead, and left a carriage behind. They said that Yanbei is cold, and His Majesty can drive."
Li Ce lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that there was a huge space inside, covered with soft brocade, and there was an iron plate under the high couch, and there were two braziers under the iron plate, and the inside of the car was as warm as spring. There was a small stove in the middle, and the medicine urn on it was emitting white gas. When I opened it, I found a pot of steaming ginseng and chicken soup inside.
"Your Majesty, who is this King of Qinghai? He is so inspiring this time, he really just wants to sell us Bian Tang's favor?"
Li Ce looked at the urn of chicken soup quietly, and did not speak for a long time.
Chu Qiao was lying in the car, her little face was pitifully pale, she seemed to feel the warmth, she let out a breath slowly, then curled up quietly on the bed, as quiet as a sleeping rabbit.
"Tieyou, if it were you, who would do these things for you?"
Tie You was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly, "I'm afraid only my old lady and my daughter-in-law can't do it."
Li Ce raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Yes, there are not many such people."
"Your Majesty, do you know who it is?"
"Understood." Li Ce nodded, turned his head and looked at the vast mountains hidden in the snow in the distance, his voice was a little erratic, "If I was just doubting before, then now I can Guarantee."
Fate is ill-fated, full of doubts, everyone is a puppet wrapped in silk thread, walking on the track he has already established, since he can't break free, why should he unveil the prelude to the end in advance
Li Ce smiled slightly, with a gentle face, showing a bit of vicissitudes and calmness.
Zhuge Yue, I am not as good as you.
Before dawn, the heavy snow finally stopped, the sun had not yet come out, and the earth was still immersed in a bleak darkness.
On a high mountain top, a man was dressed in a green robe, and the snowy owl flapped its wings and flew from a distance. He stretched out his arm, and this most ferocious bird on the Qinghai Plateau landed on his arm docilely, completely white, There are only three red feathers growing on the tail, which are as bright as blood.
Opening the letter paper, the ugly handwriting came into view: Emperor Tang led his troops back to Tangshuiguan, all is well, don't read it.
The man's face is calm, his eyes are always cold, he can naturally see the teasing of his subordinates, who is safe? Who is not to read
He drew a pen and replied: There is no need to withdraw, just die there.
When the young general received the letter, he smiled happily, showing his white teeth. He waved his hand to the soldiers who were complaining, and said, "Withdraw, go home."
"Seventh general, do you want a wife?" A man in his forties laughed loudly. He was shot in the shoulder by an arrow and had just been bandaged, but at the moment he seemed to be okay, laughing loudly, the tattoos on his face trembling, Like a meandering little snake.
"Get out! You old bachelor, I wish you never suffer from this lovesickness for the rest of your life."
"This Yanbei bastard is too fierce!" A general in his thirties walked in, but half of his shoulders were exposed in the cold weather, and a white cloth was wrapped around his chest. It was obvious that he had just been defeated.
"I didn't snatch their daughter-in-law, I played with my life."
The Seventh General laughed and said, "You didn't snatch their daughter-in-law, but the master did. Let's go, we're not here to fight, and we'll tell Qi Lang to arrange the retreat route, everyone get ready to run away."
The general who was called the "old bachelor" by the seventh general stood up muttering, and said as he walked out: "I think the master's fight is inappropriate, and I let others snatch her away without even seeing my daughter-in-law." , We didn't specify that we couldn't beat them, this deal is too bad."
The people in the big tent gradually left, and the Seventh General stood where he was. After hearing what the man said, he was slightly stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said softly, "Young master can't afford to take such a risk!"
Yes, once the battle situation is stalemate and the time drags on, there will be three ups and downs over there, even if you win, what's the point
The Seventh General remembered the man he had seen on the battlefield before, and his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of hatred. If it wasn't for the help of Yue Da's subordinates back then, he would have died in the massacre two years ago, and this account would have to be settled sooner or later.
When Li Ce took Chu Qiao to board the boat at Tangshuiguan, it was dawn three days later. The sun rose from the horizon, shining a golden light, and the sky was so high, clear and cloudless. Tangshuiguan is located in the southwest, the climate is very mild, and the river is green and blue.
When the big ship sets sail, the thunderous sound resounds from the sky. Thousands of big ships draw anchor and sail. The unfurled white sails.
"Start the boat—" Tie You shouted loudly, the voice was so long, with a hint of joy.
Li Ce stood at the stern of the boat, dressed in a pine-green costume, with evil eyebrows and eyes, handsome and unruly. He raised his head slightly, looked at the tall Cuiwei Mountain, and could vaguely see Xiao Xiao's figure on the top of the mountain.
The tide of the sea of people, the change of seasons, the wind on the river blowing from the top of the mountain, bringing bursts of fragrance, as if it aroused the subtle tingling pain in the bone marrow, and all thoughts became unprecedentedly clear.
Li Ce suddenly smiled, smiling slyly like a fox, showing his white teeth happily, and then blew a passionate kiss to the high mountain top under the horrified eyes of all his subordinates.
Tie You asked gloomily, "Your Majesty, have you seen the village girl collecting firewood on the mountain?"
Li Ce turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! How do you know?"
Everyone sighed helplessly, Your Majesty, who doesn't know
The river is flowing, the ships are meandering, the sun is rising, everything is perfect.
On the top of the mountain, the man stood quietly. He clearly saw Li Ce's provocative action, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, but he did not turn around and leave.
As the ship drifted away, he stood there for a long, long time, silently peaceful in his heart, without sadness or fatigue. Xiaoxiao mountain wind blew across his back, casting his shadow on the ground with a clear and faint glow, and the mixed breath of dust and water vapor from the mountains and forests hit his face head-on, which was extremely gentle.
He thought of her eyes in a trance, as if following the barren weeds in his memory, he suddenly saw a tall tree, with a gentle expression, and lost his cold direction.
It was September 29, 1978, and it was the season when chrysanthemums were in full bloom in Tangjing. The wind passed through the city, and it sprinkled golden yellow under the blue sky and white sun.
The ship goes south, slowly sailing towards that piece of extravagant sweetness. Late autumn has passed, and winter is approaching, but in Bian Tang, a warm country, the distinction between autumn and winter is not so obvious. The chrysanthemums have already died, and they are clinging to the branches in black. The wind is strong at night, and the yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, swirling lightly all over the ground.
Chu Qiao was dreaming again, vaguely, her feet were still stepping on the wasteland. The sun is extremely red, and the long wind blows from the end of the sky, whirling up the wormwood all over the ground, rolling in waves, like withered yellow sea waves. On the sunset field, the young man galloped happily, the smile on his face was the same as before, it was the first appearance in her memory. Red fire clouds bloomed from the blood-soaked soil, swaying luxuriously under the snow-white horse's hooves, and she heard the hearty laughter of the young man in a trance.
He smiled and said: Ah Chu, follow up quickly!
Then she ran after her, the sun was shining hot all over her body, the wind was blowing fiercely past her ears, the future was full of bright yellow hopes, just like the thousands of fantasies in those eight years.
But just when she was about to hold his hand, the world suddenly turned pale, and the snow covered all the good things and wishes. The hearty young man grew up instantly, and stood in front of her with a face of indifference. Behind him were countless A Yanbei soldier in pitch-black armor. The soldiers pointed their cold arrows at her back. She turned her head hastily, but only saw a large stream of blood blooming on the man. The ice sheet crumbled and the cold water spread, and she jumped down to the lonely deep lake, and finally saw those lonely eyes. He kissed her lightly on her lips, and the corner of his cold mouth brushed against her temples. His hands were as big and powerful as he dragged her bit by bit, entrusting the hope of life to her hands.
