A Piece of Li Song Changting Twilight

Due to the urgency of the situation, Zhao Pingzhen only urgently dispatched a dozen guards from the city gate to escort them; and because the Qin brothers did not know how to ride horses, they used carriages instead, and their speed slowed down a lot.A group of people fled to the south non-stop, and did not dare to stop to rest when it was dark, for fear that the golden soldiers would catch up.However, people can persevere, but horses cannot. After dozens of hours of continuous driving, the horse can no longer run.

Zhao Pingzhen found a stream near the woods and ordered everyone to stop and have a rest, and also let a dozen horses eat grass and drink water for a while.

Qin Chengxue suffered from illnesses when she was a child, and she has always been in poor health. She has never experienced such a long journey before. She tossed and turned in Qin Xiaolou's arms while driving and couldn't sleep. She had a fever in a short time.

Qin Xiaolou helped Qin Chengxue get out of the car, wiped his face with cold water, and fanned him with his clothes.However, the conditions are difficult. Apart from doing these things, he is also helpless to deal with his younger brother's illness.

After a while, Qin Xiaolou helped Qin Chengxue into the car to sleep again, and found Zhao Pingzhen himself.

Although Zhao Pingzhen looked tired, he didn't feel sleepy because of the sudden change and his preoccupation.He leaned against a tree and stared at the river without focusing.Qin Xiaolou walked to his side: "Your Highness Fifth."

Zhao Pingzhen was summoned by him and finally returned to his soul. He looked back at him indifferently, and opened his arms, beckoning him to lean into his arms.

Qin Xiaolou was a little surprised, and obediently leaned over.He couldn't understand why Zhao Pingzhen accompanied him to rescue Qin Chengxue all the way.He thought to himself that he knew Zhao Pingzhen very well, and there was no doubt that Zhao Pingzhen liked him, but that kind of liking was nothing more than treating him as a plaything to relieve fatigue, and he didn't pay much attention to him.At such an urgent juncture, if Zhao Pingzhen kicked him off the carriage, he would not be surprised at all, but Zhao Pingzhen saved Qin Chengxue for his time delay, and even took the carriage instead of traveling for the sake of the two brothers. I can't think of a reason why.He once thought that Zhao Pingzhen's move was to have two more shields in times of crisis, just like how he dealt with Yang Tian back then, but he himself found such a reason ridiculous-the two brothers have no strength to restrain a chicken, so what can they do? usefulness?Zhao Pingzhen didn't need to do this at all.

In fact, not only Qin Xiaolou couldn't figure it out, Zhao Pingzhen himself didn't understand it either, but he wouldn't and didn't want to think about it—he knew he didn't want Qin Xiaolou to die, and he would save Qin Xiaolou when he could, but if it really came At the time of life and death, he would not hesitate to push Qin Xiaolou out to block arrows.

Qin Xiaolou asked, "Where are we going?"

Zhao Pingzhen said: "Ying Tianfu."

Yingtian Mansion was the accompanying capital chosen by the Taizu back then. Its prosperity is not inferior to that of Bianjing. There are [-] garrisons in the city. There are abundant food reserves and mountains and rivers as barriers. There.

Qin Xiaolou reckoned that he could reach Yingtian Mansion in one day, and Qin Chengxue should be able to hold on, so he didn't say anything more.

After resting enough, the group went back on the road.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and because Jin Bing hadn't caught up for a long time, the vigilance of Zhao Pingzhen and others gradually relaxed.

At midnight, Qin Xiaolou was drowsy when he suddenly felt the person in his arms struggling.He opened his eyes and found that Qin Chengxue's face was flushed, and suddenly pushed him away, threw himself on the shaft of the car and vomited.Because he hadn't eaten recently, all he spit out was acidic water.

Qin Xiaolou hurriedly went up to pat him on the back, Qin Chengxue vomited for a long time, until all the acid in his stomach was vomited, and finally took a breath, and collapsed in Qin Xiaolou's arms.He showed some aggrieved expression, buried his face in Qin Xiaolou's chest, and held his arm loosely: "Uncomfortable..."

Since Qin Xiaolou said some unfeeling words to Qin Chengxue for Han Xuzhi that night, Qin Chengxue has not acted like a baby to him for many years.At this time, Qin Chengxue was obviously seriously ill, and the trance-like appearance reminded Qin Xiaolou of the exile when he was a child - Qin Chengxue was still naive at that time, and he relied on his elder brother wholeheartedly, When he was hungry, hurt, and uncomfortable, he hugged his elder brother and cried. As long as his elder brother was willing to coax him patiently, he would be able to overcome any difficulties.

Qin Xiaolou felt very uncomfortable, pinching his sleeves and carefully wiped off the filth on his face, coaxing softly: "Cheng Xue, Cheng Xue, it will be fine in a while..."

Zhao Pingzhen sneered with a cold face: "Is this the time to be hypocritical?"

Qin Chengxue ignored his words, wrapped his arms around Qin Xiaolou's neck, buried him in the depression of his collarbone, and moaned: "Brother, don't leave me..."

Qin Xiaolou knew that Qin Chengxue was sick and talking nonsense at this time, so his heart ached, and he hugged him tightly: "I will never leave you, and I will never leave you."

Zhao Pingzhen snorted coldly and stopped talking.

After a while, the carriage suddenly jolted violently and stopped.

A guard opened the curtain and came in: "Your Highness, it rained yesterday, and the forest was full of mud, and the wheels sank."

Zhao Pingzhen frowned displeasedly, and got out together with him.After a while, he opened the curtain and said coldly to the Qin brothers: "Get out of the car."

The guards struggled to push the car out of the mud pit, while the Qin brothers and Zhao Pingzhen stepped aside and waited.

"Whoosh"!Suddenly a feathered arrow flew from the north. At that time, the sky was dark, no one could see what was going on, only a guard fell down.

Until the second and third arrows came, someone finally reacted and shouted: "There are pursuers! Hurry up and escort them!"

There was no moonlight in the woods, and the guards, in their panic, couldn't even tell which direction the pursuers were coming from, and looked around nervously holding torches.The horse was frightened, and pulled the cart out of the mud with all its strength.

Zhao Pingzhen pulled Qin Xiaolou and Qin Chengxuefei into the car: "Hurry up, let's go!"

Qin Xiaolou shouted: "Quickly put out the torch!"

The guards were waiting to put out the fire, and Zhao Pingzhen commanded calmly: "You, drive the carriage to the southeast; the three of you, ride to the west with torches; the three of you, go northeast with torches. The rest put out the fire Come with me!"

The guards who were pointed out were startled, knowing that they had been betrayed by their master.But what can they do, after hesitating for less than a moment, they have no choice but to act according to the order.

Zhao Pingzhen got on the horse, pulled Qin Xiaolou in front of him, and ordered a guard to ride Qin Chengxue on horseback, and the remaining seven or eight people continued to flee south.

Qin Xiaolou knew that Zhao Pingzhen had randomly dragged this group of people here at the East Gate, and they were not personal followers, so he didn't feel bad if they were all dead.But precisely because these people are not personal followers, their loyalty is also open to question.

Leaning in Zhao Pingzhen's arms, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's better for me to issue such orders in the future."

Zhao Pingzhen glanced down at him, and Qin Xiaolou said: "I know this group of people are not your followers, and they have no time to think about it right now. Once they get chilled, they may not be willing to work for His Highness."

Zhao Pingzhen was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I see, you should be smarter."

Not long after, a group of people left the woods and fled south desperately.
