cold hearted son-in-law

With heavy snow falling and biting cold wind, in Youming Valley in the southern outskirts of the capital, people from both sides met each other in battle.

After Chu Yunxi and his party got out of the capital in the early morning of the first day of the first lunar month, they were chased and intercepted by Bai Shaotang and his cavalry as soon as they reunited with the people outside the city. After chasing all the way south for a day and a night to Youming Valley, Chu Yunxi was finally overtaken and surrounded by Bai Shaotang because of the disparity in his troops.

"Chu Yunxi, there is a way to heaven if you don't go, and there is no way to hell, don't blame me, next year today will be your memorial day!" Bai Shaotang, wearing a light armored battle robe, stopped his horse and stood up with his sword, facing the surrounded Chu Yunxi. Yun Xi sneered and said, thinking that as long as he gave an order, he would be able to kill the famous God of War in front of him, and his name, Bai Shaotang, would be famous all over the world. smile.

There were only about twenty people left in Chu Yunxi's party, and most of them were wounded. They looked exhausted, but they still held swords and shields, and were on alert to protect Chu Yunxi and Xiao Wei in the middle.

"Bai Tang, what are you so proud of? When I left Beijing, I brought less than 20 people, and you brought more than [-] family generals, and you have been chasing for a day and a night, fighting five times, and the result? I still have more than [-] people, and your casualties are nearly [-], and you think you have already won?" Chu Yunxi sat on the horse, calm and calm, and jokingly called Bai Shaotang Baitang, as if he didn't care about the current situation at all .

"Chu Yunxi, if you hadn't been despicable and poisonous all the way, you would have smashed your body into thousands of pieces, but you still lost! Do you still think that someone will come to save you? You might as well beg the general!" , maybe I can keep your whole body!" Bai Shaotang was furious and sneered.

Chu Yunxi looked at him and shook his head with a smile, and said with regret: "You have chased all the way, but the sword is not stained with blood, and you still call yourself a general. Are you ashamed? You have no courage to be a military general, and no strategy to be a literary general. You can be regarded as a soy sauce at best, and Bai Lie keeps you in Beijing, so you should be more peaceful!"

"I'm going to cut off your tongue!" Bai Shaotang was full of anger, looking at Chu Yunxi's calm and composed appearance, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and without further delay, he raised his long sword and immediately ordered loudly: " Kill, leave no one behind! Whoever cut off Chu Yunxi's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels!"

The chief general gave the order, and there was a big reward, so the subordinates naturally scrambled to be the first, and more than two hundred riders rushed towards Chu Yunxi's small team of more than twenty people from all directions.

Chu Yunxi's team did not raise their spears to fight, but shrunk their team and set up shields to form a defensive formation.

The cavalry that Bai Shaotang led was the standard Chinese cavalry equipped with sabers and short knives, but everyone knew that Chu Yunxi equipped the cavalry with wooden shields covered with cowhide, holding spears and carrying crossbows on their backs.Bai Shaotang looked at the cavalry with the oval shield mockingly, how could so few people defend without desperately breaking through?

The story of Chu Yunxi letting the light cavalry of Huzhou hold shields after fighting against the barbarians has been widely spread, and it has caused a lot of ridicule. Without the excellent armor protection of heavy cavalry, what effect can a short shield have?However, Chu Yunxi does not follow the common sense, and the light cavalry is equipped with long contradictory cards, sometimes with several guns. This kind of cavalry, which costs a lot of money and suffers a lot of damage, may not be as effective as raising two elite infantry on the battlefield. Big, in Bai Shaotang's view, this kind of cavalry, which is a combination of cavalry, infantry, and archers, is not only slow and has low combat effectiveness, but even once it is surrounded, it will not even be able to break out.

Bai Shaotang was shaking his head with a smile, and even began to think about how to claim credit for returning to Beijing after this unsuspecting victory. After the news of the death of Chu Yunxi, the eldest son-in-law, did not know that the widow who had been married for nearly a year Will the eldest princess cry?But the morale of those rebels in the south will be hit, so it is worth the hard work he has been chasing for a day and a night and the loss of nearly [-] men.

There were several loud bangs, and the sound of the horse roaring and people screaming made the horse that Bai Shaotang was sitting on raise its hooves and neigh. When Bai Shaotang controlled the horse and then heard the sound, the more than two hundred men who charged past only saw the horse Running around, but the people were screaming in the smog, and the ground was covered with broken limbs, arms, and pieces of flesh. It was not even clear whether it was a human or a horse. The air was like the smell of gunpowder smoke after firecrackers, which was strong and pungent.

Bai Shaotang was at a loss, and didn't even know what happened. It wasn't until the sound of horses' hoofs approached, and he fought with swords, that Bai Shaotang came back to his senses. However, the situation had reversed, and all his guards were beheaded. When he got off his horse and fell heavily to the ground, he looked up and saw the black cloth covering the horse's eyes, when several spears pressed against his throat at the same time, and the long sword in his hand was also snatched away.

"How could this be?" Bai Shaotang's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Chu Yunxi got off his horse and took a few steps forward, kicked Bai Shaotang twice, took off the mask covering his nose and mouth, took out the cotton stuffed in his ears, and said with a smile: "The one that made a loud noise just now is called gunpowder, and The shield I am carrying is made of iron and covered with cowhide. Do you think I am really afraid of you so I run so desperately? I am afraid of the person behind you, and thanks to you chasing so far, she did not show up, otherwise I would have I really can't run."

"What do you mean?" Bai Shaotang struggled to get up, the detainee punched and kicked again before lying down, and Chu Yunxi didn't answer him, just quietly looked at the exit of Youming Valley.

In just one stick of incense, the phoenix and flame banners entered the valley, and horseshoes echoed like thunder in the valley. Mrs. Hua drove in the snow in a four-horse chariot, followed by a golden-armored phalanx. Spectacular and formidable, the army stopped [-] paces away from Chu Yunxi. The originally snow-covered, silent valley fell into deathly silence after they arrived.

"Chu Yunxi, you are forcing me to do it myself!" Mrs. Hua's voice was rarely cold and indifferent, and the car left the army and drove forward, and did not stop until it was shot.

"Can't you let me go?" Chu Yunxi smiled helplessly, running around day and night, which made her look tired and her eyes bloodshot.

"This palace gave you a way to survive, but you are the one who turned to die." Mrs. Hua didn't even look at Bai Shaotang, she finished speaking in a cold voice, and with a gesture, a group of cavalry immediately came out with swords, approaching Chu Yunxi.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Wei, who had been standing beside Chu Yunxi, immediately stood in front of Chu Yunxi, looked at Mrs. Hua, and stood firmly in front.

Chu Yunxi seemed to have expected this situation, pulled back Xiao Wei who was directly ignored by Mrs. Hua, looked at Bai Shaotang on the ground, and said calmly: "Mrs. Hua first look at the two sides of the valley, then think about it, let me go Let's go."

At this time, the snow-covered places on both sides of the valley were already covered with snow, and people with iron guns appeared one by one, and confronted the people in the valley silently.

"Is it just these means? I can take your life as well." Mrs. Hua said with a cold face, staring at Chu Yunxi from a distance.

"I can also burn the fish and the jade together, do you believe me?" Chu Yunxi said with a smile, as if he had put life and death aside.

Mrs. Hua in the distance didn't speak any more, she pondered for a long time, and then said: "You go back with me, and I will give you the antidote, and I will not pursue this matter."

Chu Yunxi shook his head with a smile, and said, "There is no turning back when you shoot the bow!"

"Why do you want to help her?" Mrs. Hua asked coldly, her eyes were cold.

Chu Yunxi couldn't see Mrs. Hua's expression clearly in the distance, so she sighed in a low voice, then looked up at the person in the distance and said bitterly: "My letter of commitment is still in her hand."

Mrs. Hua was stunned, and then remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival in the tenth year of Jianwen, a letter of commitment written by Chu Yunxi asking to marry the eldest princess. Chu Yunxi!"

"What?!" Bai Shaotang on the ground exclaimed, and then shut up after the two of them looked over, staring at Chu Yunxi's face, and then scanning her whole body, as if wanting to find out what happened.

Chu Yunxi looked down at Bai Shaotang, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "If you look at me with your disgusting eyes again, I'll goug your eyes out!"

"If you don't take the antidote, you will die. Go back with me. When Gao Yang is caught in the future, I will spare her life for your sake. Then you and her will have nothing to owe." Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi, Clenched hands, waiting for her to answer.

Chu Yunxi was stunned for a while when he heard the word 'neither owed', looked up at Mrs. Hua and said, "Why did Mrs. Hua let me stay? I don't think there is anything outstanding, and I can't change anything when I go to the south. And I'm still dying..."

"Bengong met you first, remember?" Mrs. Hua interrupted Chu Yunxi, looking at her seriously and said.

The surprise in Chu Yunxi's eyes flashed past, he frowned slightly, and did not speak again. After turning around and getting on his horse, he turned to Mrs. Hua in the distance and said coldly: "Bai Shaotang, I think you spare his life, and I have saved him." You once, the antidote is gone, and you and I will never owe each other again."

Mrs. Hua and Chu Yunxi looked at each other from a distance, and each was silent. After a long time, Mrs. Hua said softly: "Okay! Okay! We don't owe each other, let's go, see you someday, we are mortal enemies!"

Chu Yunxi didn't say any more, and raised his hand to signal his subordinates to let go of Bai Shaotang. They all got on their horses and passed the golden armored cavalry brought by Mrs. Hua on one left and one on the right. The people on both sides of the valley passed by Chu Yunxi safely. And after releasing the loud arrows, they retreated in a hurry.

Mrs. Hua didn't turn her head to look at the back of Chu Yunxi who was going away, she just quietly watched the snow falling in the sky, and when the sound of horseshoes went away, and Gu Zhong could only hear the whistling wind and snow, she gently brushed the cold snow off her face , The snow has turned into water droplets, wet the fingertips, and was blown away by the cold wind without a trace.
