single husband's heart

In the spring of [-] BC, Zhao Guo, Handan.

A half round of the crimson sunset slanted behind the mountain, and on the opposite side, the crescent moon hung on the branches and spit out its brilliance.In Handan City, people have all returned home, and the chimneys of every household are emitting green smoke, which is very warm.But in the wilderness, the sky and the earth are silent, and it seems that even time has been barren.There are only groups of birds in the suburban forest, circling helplessly and neighing.

The secular world says that twilight is the time when ghosts come and go.

The fighting in the forest intensified, and blood dripped down the sword in his hand, staining the green grass that had just sprouted red. There were three or four corpses lying on the spot, but the companions had no time to collect them.

There are many enemies, even if Yingzheng and Yandan's guards are one of a kind, they can't resist the crushing siege of the opponent because of their superior numbers, the stimulation of wealth and title, and their confidence in victory.

Time passed by, and the guards tried hard to move forward with the two young masters.Everyone knew that once they walked out of this forest, once they saw the gate of Handan, the killers would have absolutely no chance, and Ying Zheng and Yan Dan would escape.

As the fight progressed, the guards gradually became exhausted, but the enemy was able to do a job with ease.Seeing that the guards were forced by the enemy to approach the carriage little by little, narrowing the protection circle.Yingzheng and Yandan stood in the car, trying their best to shoot arrows at the opposite side for support.Xia Wuqiu, who was young and frail without martial arts skills, hid in the carriage, looking out fearfully.

Yan Dan gradually lost his strength, and his shooting speed slowed down.

"Dan, you go in," Ying Zheng said.

"It's okay, I can still help you." Yan Dan insisted through gritted teeth.He is weak, and the arrows he shoots are not powerful.Fortunately, he has a flexible mind and accurate arrow skills, and the arrows always hit the enemy's weak point at a tricky angle.

"Your arrows have no effect at all, they can only hurt people." Ying Zheng turned his head to avoid the arrows shot from the side, and turned his head to roar at Yan Dan. "If you are injured, the efforts of these guards will be in vain!"

Yan Dan bit her lower lip and yelled back unwillingly: "What about you? You will get hurt too!"

"Leave me alone, I can take care of myself. Come in!"

"My lord, come in quickly!" Xia Wuqiu's voice came from the carriage with tears in his voice.

Yan Dan really couldn't hold on anymore.He stared at Ying Zheng, who was much more fierce than usual, and finally obediently compromised under the other's persistent gaze.

"Don't let yourself get hurt." Yan Dan hastily said a word to Ying Zheng.

The movement of Yan Dan turning around and opening the car door stimulated the assassins. The movement that had been slowed down due to fatigue became more ruthless, and the arrows flying towards the carriage became more concentrated.Ying Zheng stood in front of Yan Dan and used his long sword to deflect the flying arrows to cover Yan Dan's movements.

"hurry up!"

Yan Dan almost rolled and fell into the carriage.The car door was closed, and several arrows shot over quickly, hitting the car door with a tinkling sound.

Xia Wuqi rushed over with tears in his eyes, grabbed Yan Dan's sleeve: "My lord, are you not injured?"

The fighting outside was temporarily isolated by the car door, leaving only a vague noise.Yan Dan gradually recovered from the bloody fight just now, only to realize that her hands were shaking.

"I'm fine." Yan Dan forced a smile, but couldn't hide the worry on his face. "Do not worry."

Xia Wuqiu looked Yan Dan up and down, back and forth, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was unharmed.

"Then Mr. Zheng, won't he come in?"

"He's amazing. He's helping the guards beat bad guys... And he must be obedient and don't make trouble."

The two children have forgotten the huge difference in their identities. Surrounded by random arrows and behind the other child, they lean on each other tightly, praying for reinforcements to come soon.

"My lord, those bad guys...why come to attack us?"

"Some people want to kill me or Gong Zizheng because of jealousy, because of resentment, because they want to get something that cannot be obtained through hard work."

"Is it because the death of Gong Zidan or Gong Zizheng will bring them benefits?"

"may be……"

Before he could say a word, Ying Zheng's nervous and unsteady voice came from outside: "Dan, it's going to be dark soon, and the situation is not good for us. Sit tight, we're going to break through!"

"What?" Amidst the noise, Ying Zheng's voice was faintly discernible, Yan Dan leaned over to the door and shouted loudly. "Zheng, don't mess around!"

However, Yan Dan did not hear Ying Zheng's answer.He held his breath and looked out through the crack of the door, only to see that Ying Zheng was leaning over with difficulty in the slow bumps of the carriage, while avoiding the arrows, he stretched out the hand holding the dagger to the horse's tail.

Yan Dan suddenly understood Ying Zheng's intentions, and was horrified: "Zheng! You will be in danger!"

"Sit down!" Ying Zheng gritted his teeth.His arm was not long enough, so he simply threw the dagger hard.The dagger dropped from his hand, drew an arc, and penetrated into the horse's buttocks. For a moment, blood spattered everywhere.

Yan Dan and Xia Wuqie had already grasped the armrests inside the carriage, while Ying Zheng, the moment the dagger was released, inserted the long sword into the body with all his strength, and squatted down quickly.

"咴——" the stabbed horse neighed in pain, its front feet lifted off the ground, and the man stood up, then fell down immediately, and galloped wildly.The companion tethered to it was frightened and ran forward together regardless.

As soon as this fell, the inside of the carriage was turned upside down, and all the furnishings were out of place.Yan Dan closed her eyes tightly, clutching the handrail tightly, feeling that she was being hit by many things but couldn't care less.

The carriage was bumped so badly that Yan Dan felt nauseous.However, he tried his best to open his eyes, first looked at Xia Wuqi who was huddled beside him, who was quite frightened, and then slowly moved towards the door while supporting the car wall.

"Zheng!" Yan Dan shouted.

"I'm fine!" Ying Zheng was also dizzy, but fortunately he was not injured. "Only the coachman fell!"

In this case, it is useless to ask for a coachman, I just hope that this poor man is safe...

Yan Dan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, "What about the pursuers?"

"I have already caught up, the guards are blocking, not too close..."

There was a sudden stop.Through a layer of wood, Yan Dan seemed to hear Ying Zheng's painful groan clearly.

"Zheng!?" Panicked, Yan Dan opened the car door regardless.In the shaking field of vision, he only saw Ying Zheng's black sleeves flashing past the shaft of the car, and the young man who was supposed to be standing at the front of the car with a sword was gone.

"Gongzizheng has fallen!" Xia Wuqi also hurriedly climbed out of the carriage.

Yan Dan bit her lip.He knew very well that the guards could only temporarily slow down the speed of the pursuers, and what they wanted was to get out of the woods before the pursuers caught up.Ying Zheng fell from the car and was wounded by an arrow, probably——

There are more ills than good luck.

After a long while, he suddenly lowered his head and quickly untied his coat, and urgently ordered Xia Wuqi: "Take off your clothes quickly, let's change them!"

"Ah?" Xia Wu was puzzled, but she took off her clothes as she said.

"Pull the reins yourself, and if the pursuers catch up, use a dagger to pierce the horse's butt." Yan Dan's tone was very fast, but clear and unruffled. "When you're out of the woods, yell for help. You're wearing my clothes, and someone will help you."

"What about you, son?"

"Zheng's life or death is uncertain. As a friend, I will try my best to save him." Yan Dan looked resolute.

"Son..."

"Wuqiu must be obedient!" Yan Dan softened his expression slightly, patted Xia Wuqiu on the shoulder, turned around, and jumped off the carriage neatly.

Jumping off a fast-moving car is of course dangerous, especially for eight-year-old Yan Dan.He slowed down on the ground for a while, rubbed his ankle, and immediately ran to where he came from.

Xia Wuqi watched Yan Dan run away, raised his hand and wiped away his tears.

Gong Zidan, Gong Zizheng, you must be good.

Ying Zheng fell off the carriage unexpectedly and turned half a circle in an emergency, so as not to end up face down tragically.Even so, he fell and injured himself.

His right arm appeared to be dislocated, his left ankle was sprained, he had multiple scrapes all over his body, and his clothes were torn in several places.Really embarrassed.He lay on the ground and blinked slowly, waiting for the darkness in front of him to dissipate before sitting up enduring his headache.

He knew that he was in danger.The pursuers will arrive soon, and the carriage will not stop unless everyone stops it.Besides, he didn't want Yan Dan to let the carriage return in order to save him, that would just cost two lives in vain.

But at least he won't sit idly by.

Ying Zheng propped himself up with a long sword, grabbed his sleeve and roughly wiped the blood from his forehead.He stared at the corner not far away, waiting for the figures of chasing soldiers and guards who were fighting to appear - he had already heard the clear clashing sound of swords clashing.

"Young Master!!!" The guards exclaimed when they saw the figure standing in the middle of the road holding a sword——Didn't the young master already escape?

Ying Zheng pursed his lips without saying a word, and immediately picked up his sword and joined the battle.Although the guards were puzzled, they tacitly protected him in the center.And the assassins became excited again when they saw Gong Zizheng who had gone and returned.

That's fine too.Yingzheng swung the sword again and again, watching the sword sink into the enemy's body, spurting hot blood, sending away a life.He is just an unappreciated prince and grandson, even if he dies, he will not let his father who is far away in Qin country shed a tear, but Dan is the proud son of heaven, he will have an infinitely bright future.

If possible, he would rather die here, as long as Yandan can be safe.

The sun has completely sunk into the horizon, but the afterglow has not yet died down.The forest is dim and gloomy, the shadows of the trees are numerous, and the branches are like ghosts with claws and claws, which is gloomy.

Ying Zheng's strength was gradually exhausted, and he just gritted his teeth and chopped off the sword with inertia, and the movement of swinging the sword slowed down.

He glanced around and saw that half of the guards brought out had fallen down, and there were less than ten people who were desperately protecting him.Although the enemy also suffered many casualties, their numbers were still large.

Whatever it is, die happily in battle.

It felt as if it was gradually leaving him. He knew that something had scratched his forehead and covered his eyes, but he couldn't feel the warm stickiness, nor could he smell the fishy smell.He tried his best to open his eyes and saw his movement of swinging the sword, but he didn't have the painful exhaustion before.

However, in the blink of an eye, Ying Zheng's movements froze.Obliquely ahead, the bushes at the height of half a person on the side of the road are criss-crossed due to no pruning. Under the cover of old and new leaves, a familiar face looms.

Seeing Yan Dan by accident, Ying Zheng's mind cleared up a little.

Didn't he leave, why did he come back again?

He came back alone, so Xia Wuju returned to the city alone?

What is he trying to do hiding in the bushes like this?

Yan Dan, who went back and forth, did not stand in the middle of the road like Ying Zheng.He was more cautious by nature, so he ducked down and hid behind the bushes not far in front of Yingzheng, thinking nervously about countermeasures.

Zheng seems to be injured.Yan Dan was startled, cold sweat broke out on his back.

What to do, what to do, think quickly!Yan Dan stared at Ying Zheng who was surrounded, and inadvertently pinched his fingertips into his palm.

Suddenly, something sharp on the side tore through the sackcloth on Yan Dan's body, and drew blood on his forearm.The corner of Yandan's eyes swept away, and it was a castor plant.

castor bean...

Yan Dan's eyes lit up, thinking about it.

The author has something to say: The author is physically and mentally exhausted and has gained weight. Seeing that the comments have not increased, I feel even more frustrated.
