"Everything is fine, let's go."
Chu Qiao nodded, and looked back seemingly unintentionally, "Where are the envoys from the Southwest Township? Why didn't they follow?"
Naturally, Yan Xun couldn't fool her with the lie that the soldiers and horses of the Southwest Township voluntarily stayed to fight against the enemy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they will arrive later, let's go first."
"Okay." Without hesitation, Chu Qiao followed Yan Xun and walked towards Chishui.
The large army quickly began to cross the river. Although there was only one pontoon bridge, most of the troops crossed the river after half an hour. Standing next to Yan Xun, Chu Qiao looked at the teams crossing the pontoon bridge one after another, looked at the fiery city of Zhenhuang in the distance, and suddenly said with emotion: "It's been eight years, and we finally came out."
Yan Xun let out a long sigh, stretched his arms around Chu Qiao's shoulders, and said emotionally, "Ah Chu, you have suffered."
Chu Qiao shook her head, her eyes were as bright as stars, "No, it was you who gave me a goal in life and the motivation to live. Yan Xun, for the past eight years, we relied on each other, and we depended on each other. Support each other, take care of each other, perfect each other's strategies, and make up for the mistakes made by the other party. It is because of this that we can survive day by day in that imperial city, and we owe each other nothing."
"Well, we don't owe each other." Yan Xun smiled gently, "We have long been one body, we share weal and woe, life and death go hand in hand."
"Yes," Chu Qiao nodded slowly, "we share weal and woe, life and death go hand in hand."
"Your Highness, the people and horses have already crossed the river, you can go." Ah Jing ran forward and said in a deep voice.
"Okay," Yan Xun nodded, "Order to go on, the whole army is going out."
"Yan Xun!" Chu Qiao yelled suddenly, "Aren't you waiting for the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Town Government?"
Yan Xun shook his head, smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will catch up with us."
"If the floating bridge is withdrawn, how will they cross the river?"
Yan Xun had already thought up his words, and said slowly: "There is nothing to fear from the imperial capital chasing soldiers, they can follow the official road to Ximaliang to join us."
Chu Qiao nodded, "Oh, so, then let's go."
Just two steps away, the girl raised her eyebrows suddenly, touched her waist, and said in shock, "Where is the Great Harmony Token you gave me? It's gone?"
Yan Xun frowned, the token was no small matter, he also became nervous, and said, "Why didn't it disappear? Didn't you wear it close to your body? Don't worry, think about it carefully."
Chu Qiao turned around twice, searched all over her body, but couldn't find it. Suddenly, the girl slapped her forehead and said, "I'm so stupid, the token is in the horse's pocket, I'll go get it."
Yan Xun grabbed the girl's arm, for some reason, a tinge of fear suddenly appeared in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Let others go and get it, you wait here."
"With so many horses, do they know which one is mine? Don't worry, I'll come whenever I go."
Before Yan Xun could stop her, the girl ran onto the pontoon bridge. She has an exquisite figure, and she hardly sinks at all when she steps on the pontoon.
After half a stick of incense, the girl ran to the other side of the river. Yan Xun ordered someone to light a torch, and looked across the river, only to see Chu Qiao found his horse, and then led the horse to the side of the pontoon bridge, as if he was thinking about something.
Yan Xun was taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Ah Chu, have you found it? Come here!"
The girl suddenly raised her head, her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring fixedly at Yan Xun on the other side of the river.
In an instant, as if a bolt of lightning pierced into his heart, Yan Xun pushed away Ah Jing in front of him, and ran towards the pontoon frantically.
Almost at the same time, Chu Qiao pulled out the sword from her waist, and the silver light shone, and she slashed down. The pontoon bridge broke immediately, and she went downstream along the surging river!
"Achu!" Yan Xun yelled, his eyes were on fire, and he yelled angrily, "What are you doing?"
The girl stood beside the surging Chishui River, her hair was like a waterfall, her eyes were like swords, and she shouted loudly: "Yan Xun! You just said that you and I are one body, we share good and bad, life and death go hand in hand. Therefore, I cannot Watching you commit this heinous crime!"
As Yan Xun said, he was about to jump off the Chishui River, Ah Jing and others grabbed him from behind, and the man shouted sharply: "Ah Chu, don't be stupid, come here immediately!"
"Yan Xun, the reason why you are supported by thousands of people and the people in Yanbei are eagerly waiting for your return is all because the Lord Yan spread benevolent government in Yanbei. The seven officials of the imperial capital failed to take over Yanbei. Relying on the prestige of the Yan family for generations! Yan Xun, I can't watch you destroy your foundation and bring down the Great Wall!"
Yan Xun was furious, completely lost the calmness and peace of the past, and shouted angrily: "Ah Chu, you come back immediately, we will take the rope over there, you catch it over there, come back immediately, I order you!"
Chu Qiao shook her head, turned around silently, climbed onto the horse, and then turned her head, "You made a mistake, I must correct you! Yan Xun, we will meet in Ximaliang. If I don't come within two days, you Just take people back to Yanbei first, and I will take the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Township to join you on the Yanbei Plateau."
After finishing speaking, the girl snarled, raised her whip, and galloped her horse across the pitch-black wasteland. Five thousand unowned horses followed behind the girl, and rushed towards the majestic city wall.
"Ah Chu..."
The ups and downs of the river slammed against the river bank, the waves were surging, and the huge waves were churning. In the endless void, only the man's heart-piercing screams remained. That voice penetrated the sky and echoed in the dark night!
This world is not a playground, and there will never be a word of starting over. All we can do is turn things around before the disaster is completely done! Yan Xun, what I did today, maybe you will not understand it until many years later, I am not a woman's kindness, I just don't want you to be blinded by hatred. Wait for me, I will return with my mighty soldiers and meet you again.
"drive!"
"Commander, we have been abandoned!"
Broken despair spread among the crowd. Enemies are everywhere. There is nowhere to go, and there are pursuers behind. These soldiers who have left their homes for thousands of miles have finally become prodigal sons with nowhere to go. The world is so big that there is no place for them to stay. !
"Why! Why did you give up on us?"
"Kill! Haha, kill! The end is here, let's go to hell together!"
…
The raging fire embraced the entire city, there was no way out, no trap door, and the soldiers scattered wildly, with no formation, no strategy, and they fought on their own. After being suppressed and beaten for so long, the defenders of the imperial capital finally felt proud, and they used all kinds of cruel methods.
As far as the eye can see, there are messy corpses everywhere. Twenty or thirty soldiers from the imperial capital surrounded one another and slashed at the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Township, venting their hatred for the traitors with all their might!
Zhao Che sat on the horseback, looking at this younger brother whom he had always dismissed. The young Zhao Yang was covered in blood, his handsome face was covered in blood, he still held his saber unyieldingly, and looked at the Shura battlefield in front of him with calm, almost cruel eyes.
"Seventh brother, the enemy can't stop it."
"Well," Zhao Che nodded, "It's about time."
However, just when he was about to issue an order for the whole army to attack, a huge roar suddenly sounded, and in the direction of the northwest city gate, there seemed to be thousands of muffled thunders shaking together, and the entire Zhenhuang land trembled. Everyone stopped their hands in astonishment, and raised their heads to look at the sky in the northwest.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Violent tremors came out of everyone's bones and penetrated into their spines, as if the universe was angry in front of them, and everyone looked up in amazement. The Yanbei soldier's saber was still on the shoulder of a guard of the imperial capital, and he forgot to pull it out. The saber of the imperial capital guard was resting on the neck of the Yanbei soldier, and he forgot to swing it down!
With a bang, the West City Gate was knocked open, and five thousand war horses roared with hooves, rushing towards the crowd fighting like a tide, breaking the team through a huge gap!
The guards of the imperial capital suddenly remembered Yan Xun's method of massacring the sixteenth battalion of soldiers and horses. Everyone's face turned pale, and their legs were almost trembling. At this time, a black eagle battle flag was firmly planted on the top of the city, and the petite but tall figure of the girl stood under the battle flag, and shouted like a white eagle at the whole Emperor Zhenhuang: "Yanbei's! Warriors! You are not abandoned, obey my orders! Obey me! Follow me! I will bring you home!"
After one second, two seconds, three seconds of silence, huge cheers burst into a tsunami!
"Back to Yanbei! Back to Yanbei! Back to Yanbei!"
People in despair grasped the last straw of survival, and like an unstoppable tide, they roared towards the northwest sky!
"Brother Seven, Brother Fourteen, who is that man?"
Zhao Yang looked at Chu Qiao and didn't speak for a long time. Zhao Che sat on the horseback, narrowed his eyes slowly, looked at the fierce woman under the Lie Liejun, and said slowly: "Remember, this woman will become the biggest threat to Great Xia in the future, and she wants to regain lost ground , the country is unified, this will be the first towering mountain that is difficult to climb!"
The flames of war erupted all over the sky, and on that day, on the northwest tower of the imperial capital, the entire Great Xia Dynasty remembered this name together. Eight years ago, she entered the Daxia Palace as a slave; eight years later, she took away the last Yanbei armed force in Zhenhuang City, left Zhenhuang's land, and galloped to the vast expanse outside Zhenhuang City. hot land.
Chu Qiao doesn't know now that it was her actions today that saved Yanbei from an instant disaster and saved the new Yanbei regime. armed forces.
On that night, all the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Township Government swore their allegiance to this delicate girl in their hearts. From now on, they followed their master to the north and south, and the iron cavalry swept across the entire land of Simon, sticking to their oath, no matter how difficult the environment and circumstances, they were loyal to Chu Qiao and would never change for life.
And this delicate girl took the first step to be called the "King of Beauty" by people all over the continent many years later... May 20, 755 in the Imperial Calendar was an unforgettable day. The Emperor Zhenhuang of the Great Xia Empire was half destroyed in a monstrous fire. The Shengjin Palace, the symbol of the empire, was completely burned down. The armed forces of the whole city lost seven or eight out of ten. The most elite soldiers of the empire stationed in Zhenhuang died as many as 170,000. number. Among them, nearly 30,000 people died in the battle with the Southwest Township envoy, and as many as 70,000 died under Yan Xun's massacre. middle.
