Yan Xun's eyes were burning brightly, looking at her.
Chu Qiao turned over and got off the horse neatly, without any inconvenience due to her small stature. After getting off the horse, she looked up at him, "Yan Xun, I'm leaving. Although you and I have different status, you have helped me several times. , I will keep this friendship in my heart, and if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay it."
Yan Xun smiled lightly and remained silent.
Chu Qiao saw that he looked strange, although she was a little suspicious, she didn't think deeply. Time was running out, and she was no longer allowed to be a mother-in-law here, although things got a little out of control, not only did Zhuge Yue jump out of thin air, but also alarmed the soldiers and horses of the Wei Clan and the Xiaoqi Battalion, making the scene a bit outrageous. However, in such a huge city, she was still sure to hide safely.
The child squatted down, tightened the clothes on his body, took one last look at Yan Xun, then turned around and quickly ran towards the empty street.
The sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded behind her, and before she had time to look back, Chu Qiao's small body was picked up. Yan Xun laughed warmly behind him, "I don't believe that I can't protect you, a little girl, let's go, we will go back to Yanbei overnight, I want to see what the Wei Clan and the generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion can do! "After that, he whipped his horsewhip hard, and rushed towards the city gate!
"Your Majesty!" Feng Mian and Yan Shiqi were startled and shouted together.
"Seventeen, go back to rectify the soldiers and horses, and follow this son out of the city."
The sky was full of wind and snow, and the north wind howled. More than a hundred horsemen and horses galloped on the long street, awakening most of the people in Zhenhuang City from their dreams. However, no one cared about what happened that night. They just closed the doors and windows carefully, fearing that the fish in the pond would be hurt.
Yan Xun reined in his horse, and stopped the movement of Yan Wei behind him with his hands upright. The young man raised his chin slightly, and looked coldly at the densely packed officers and soldiers on the opposite side. Yan Shiqice immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "We are the troops of His Royal Highness Yan Xun, who is the opposite, why are you blocking the way?"
"I am the Major General of the Army and Horses of the North Campus of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and I have been ordered to seal the road here."
A deep voice sounded from the opposite side, Yan Xun frowned, and said loudly: "This son has an oracle from the Shengjin Palace, who dares to block my way?"
"That's really unfortunate," a slightly feminine voice sounded slowly, the voice was not loud, but in such a quiet night, for some reason, it was so piercing and chilly.
A young man in a dark green brocade robe slowly came out from behind the crowd, smiled lightly, and said slowly: "My lord Yan, what a coincidence, I also have an oracle from the Shengjin Palace. Tonight, no one is allowed to leave the city. Those..." The young man deliberately paused, his eyes turned on Yan Xun, then he smiled faintly and uttered three words, "Kill without mercy."
"Wei Jing?" Yan Xun raised his eyebrows, and Chu Qiao, who was a horse behind him, also took a step forward. Yan Xun's hand holding the whip turned across without a trace, blocking her way and protecting her behind his back. Chu Qiao, who was wearing a Yanwei costume, felt warm in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Yan Xun's tall and straight back. A warm feeling came over her slowly, and it became more and more precious in such a cold night.
"Besides, if I remember correctly, the edict given by the son is to leave the city tomorrow morning."
Yan Xun chuckled, raised his eyebrows and said, "This son misses his mother, and will leave the city tonight."
"It's a good thing to emphasize filial piety, but the son doesn't have to be in a hurry at this moment."
"Second Master Wei really laughed at him. Yan Xun is young and self-willed, so he has to do the things he has decided on right away, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well."
"Really?" Wei Jing's tone was soft, and he smiled softly, "Since this is the case, Prince Yan may have insomnia tonight."
"Second Master Wei is too courageous!" Little Shu Tong Fengmian took a step forward and shouted sharply, "Don't talk about now, even in normal times, our son can go out to hunt at any time, who dares to stop me, Second Master Wei Whose power is it to fight here?"
"We are fighting against the power of Shengjin Palace!" A deep voice suddenly sounded from behind. Yan Xun and the others turned their heads, only to see two teams of horses coming forward. Wei Shuye was dressed in green fur, and Zhuge Huai followed beside him, his face no longer had the usual kind smile, it was like ice, without showing any emotion.
"According to the holy decree, King Yan Shicheng of Yanbei colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and conspired to rebel. Major General Wei Shuye was specially ordered to detain Yan Xun, the son of King Yanbei, and hand it over to the court for custody."
As soon as the words fell, streaks of silver light suddenly lit up, and countless swords were unsheathed instantly. The Yan guards looked shocked, and they all rushed forward to protect Yan Xun.
"Hey!" Chu Qiao pulled out the crossbow at her waist, leaned forward, and stood on Yan Xun's right side, "It seems that they are coming for you."
Yan Xun's frightened and angry expression gradually dissipated, he stared at the front tightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I have troubled you."
"It doesn't matter." Chu Qiao smiled lightly, "Tit for tat, after this battle is over, we will settle the matter."
The night was thick, and the fierce long wind traversed the entire main street, blowing from the direction of Jiuyou Terrace, and rolled up the corners of the young men's hunting clothes, flapping their wings, ready to fly, like moths jumping to the fire without hesitation. In the cloudy sky, a giant black bird flew across the sky, its wings fluttering, and it shuttled through the cotton-like snow, making a mournful long cry. The exhalation of the war horse turned into frost in a blink of an eye. On the main street of Jiuwei, the long knife shone with a cold and bright light, like a broken moon star, reflecting the red light like torch blood, like the eyes of ancient fierce beasts.
The iron guards of Yanbei fell one after another among the sharp arrows like locusts flying all over the sky. Yan Shiqi's shoulder was stained with blood, and he tried his best to split a stream of arrows. He turned around and shouted loudly: "Protect the young master to break through!"
A few iron guards suddenly agreed, their swords danced like a full moon, protecting Yan Xun in the middle.
With a loud bang, the small trebuchet was moved to the front of the formation, and huge boulders roared towards them. The protective circle formed by Yanwei's bodies was smashed away in one blow, and the soldiers of Yanbei spurted blood wildly, their bodies were knocked into the air like catkins, fell to the ground, and a large cloud of snow mist was raised.
"What are you doing?" Yan Xun grabbed Chu Qiao who was about to rush out of the crowd. She only held a crossbow, she was thin and small, and she didn't seem to have the slightest attack power. The boy nervously protected her by his side, and shouted angrily: "You don't want to die?"
"Let me go!" Chu Qiao struggled, her eyes anxiously glanced back and forth among the crowd opposite, trying hard to break free from Yan Xun's grasp.
Yan Xun smashed a sharp arrow with his sword, raised his sword eyebrows, and said angrily, "You are going to die! I won't let you go."
"There is still a glimmer of hope for rushing out now," Chu Qiao turned her head and said sharply, "Do you want to stay here and wait to die with you?"
Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked gloomy in the firelight, his voice was low, and there was even a trace of childish anger, "Don't worry, even if I die here today, I will never hurt you."
Chu Qiao knew that he would be wrong, but she didn't want to explain, she just turned her head and hummed softly.
"Seventeen," Yan Xun said, "to take advantage of the chaos later, you take someone to escort this child out, make sure to send her to a safe place, understand?"
"Young Master!" Yan Shiqi frowned and retorted, "The mission of this subordinate is to protect you!"
"Your mission is to obey my orders!"
Chu Qiao frowned and looked at the few people, seeing that Yan Xun was not paying attention, she dragged and escaped from his hands. She was thin and thin, and she was very nimble on the horse, rushing out of the encirclement in an instant.
"You!" Yan Xun was startled and shouted sharply, all the eyes of the enemy and us were focused on this little child in an instant.
Chu Qiao's equestrian skills are superb, like a tiger out of the cage, when passing by the two Yan Wei, her skill is at its peak, and she snatches two sharp sabers. He moved left and right, held a small crossbow, and shot in many directions on the side of the horse and under the horse.
There was not enough light in the dark night, and those flying arrows didn't hurt her at all for a while.
"Quick! Cover her!" Yan Xun shot an arrow, and shot through the head of a crossbowman with a whoosh. His archery skills were superb and his martial arts were superb, and he was close to the enemy in an instant.
Although Chu Qiao's strength was weak, she shot from an extremely tricky angle, with sharp eyes and quick hands. Even though a discerning eye could tell that she hadn't learned any martial arts, she was bold and careful, and she rushed into the crowd in no time. Chu Qiao slashed the two of them with a knife, and then threw a throwing knife. The second strike came first, and before the opponent launched an attack, she stabbed the sharp weapon into the throat of a Wei soldier.
The guards of Yan could not help but boost their morale when they saw such a young child being so fierce. Seeing that there was something to be done, Yan Shiqi yelled and said sharply, "Follow me!"
"The battle between trapped beasts is life-and-death!" Wei Jing snorted coldly, raised his crossbow, and quickly bent the bow and set an arrow. The silver arrow shot like a shooting star in an instant, and shot away.
The wind broke through the air, and it was too late when Chu Qiao found out, she turned her head sideways, sharp arrows flashed in her eyes, and in just a split second, she was hit in the face by the arrow, her body tilted, and she fell off the horse suddenly!
"Girl!" Yan Xun exclaimed, turned his head to look at Wei Jing, his eyes were spitting fire, wanting to burn people.
Wei Jing smiled coldly, and said loudly: "The prince of Yan resisted and refused to obey the order. The generals will obey the order and just capture them, regardless of life or death!"
Wei Jun shouted, and rushed forward together with the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and immediately transformed from an arrow formation into a close-to-hand combat. Yan Xun kicked a burly man away with one kick, the three-foot green spear danced, and the two enemies who rushed forward immediately took revenge.
"Yan Xun, do you want to rebel?" Zhuge Huai did not join the battle, but led the soldiers of Zhuge's family to stand outside the battle circle and shouted loudly.
"If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse? Yan Xun never thought of rebelling, the Wei family relied on the elders to frame Zhongliang, and the men in Yanbei are not pigs who are slaughtered!"
"Arrogant guy!" Wei Jing snorted coldly, stepped forward on his horse, and waved, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of my former classmates."
Just as he was about to order an all-out attack, he heard a sharp sound suddenly rang in his ears. Wei Jing was taken aback, and turned his head, just in time to see the body of the Major General of the North Campus of the Xiaoqi Battalion crashing off his horse. The man's eyes were wide open, his forehead was pierced by an arrow, and his mouth was opened wide in disbelief, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the end.
I and the Major General of the Xiaoqi Battalion were standing on the outskirts of the place where the bow and arrow could not be shot at all, so where did this arrow come from
A strong sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart, Wei Jing turned his horse's head abruptly, and was about to run backwards, but at this moment, the war horse suddenly wailed, its two front legs were hit hard, and it knelt on the ground with a bang, Wei Jing He fell off his horse irresistibly. Before he got up, a sharp and cold dagger was firmly pressed against his neck, and Chu Qiao's voice rang in his ears coldly, with a touch of ridicule and teasing, "Young Master Wei, you are exciting!" ?"
