Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat
Chapter 190
"Follow me and don't come forward!" he said.
Daiyu obediently followed behind him.His battle robe fluttered in the strong wind, like a banner fluttering in the wind.Seen from the back, his shoulders are very broad and thick. He seems to have grown taller these days after he came out. He is tall and straight, and he rides mighty on the horse.At a certain moment, the back of Zhou Hang in Daiyu's eyes coincided with the figure of the experienced general in the biographies he read in the past, which made him feel a surge of emotion.
The heroes of old were like that too, she thought.
But when she thought of Zhou Hang's stern face and Zhou Hang's stern face, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and couldn't care less about admiring someone's heroic demeanor.
She had a hunch that although Zhou Hang didn't mention it right now, it didn't just reveal it.
He remembered in his heart that when the battle was over, he would definitely have to preach to himself again.
However, that is a matter for the future, but I can't take care of it at the moment.
The king and queen just ran forward without looking back, it seemed that they were terrified.The two guards kept on shooting arrows, their skills were quite good, fast, accurate, and ruthless, each feather arrow could be shot 500 meters away, and there was a strong wind.As expected of the king and his personal guards in the future, all of them have extraordinary skills.
But even with such a sharp arrow technique, it didn't hurt Daiyu and Zhou Hang at all.
Zhou Hang held a long snake spear in his hand. He flicked his wrist from side to side, hooking, picking, picking, and stabbing very flexibly. The feathered arrows with strong wind fell to the ground as soon as they touched the spear tip, and many With a lot of spare energy, it was inserted in the grass on both sides.Wherever they passed, there were already two rows inserted crookedly, one on the left and one side of the horse.
Only at this moment did Daiyu feel that learning more martial arts moves is still very beneficial. For example, at this moment, although she is slightly better than Zhou Hang in terms of cultivation, due to lack of moves, she is not as handy as he is on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Gumo's personal guard knew that he had encountered a master, and he was a master whose strength was far superior to his own, and he was shouldering the important task of protecting the king and queen. Not only the accuracy is not as good as before, but also the strength is not as good as before. In the end, due to anxiety and exhaustion of physical strength, the hand that draws the bow is trembling slightly.
In the end, King Gumo and Queen naturally did not run away.
Zhou Hang rushed forward, knocked down the two guards with one knife, and with a light shake of his hand, he shook out a rope, and tied them up three times and five times.Daiyu has also restrained King Gumo and his queen, and tied them with ropes.The two personal guards Hong stared at Daiyu and Zhou Hang, the anger in their eyes was like a knife, their mouths were blocked and they couldn't speak, they made an angry whining sound, and their bodies struggled like a twisted caterpillar.
Facing thousands of troops, she still wholeheartedly protected her. Daiyu admired the courage of King Gumo's two personal guards.She glanced at Zhou Hang and murmured in Zhou Hang's ear: "These two have backbone, it's a pity..."
Zhou Hang also whispered: "Such a person is certainly respectable, but the possibility of surrender is very small. Do you know that there is a kind of dog in Tubo? It is tall, ferocious and wild, with the appearance of a lion and the strength of a tiger. It is very vicious. But they are extremely loyal to their masters. This kind of dog will only be loyal to one master in its life, and will never have two masters."
Daiyu pursed her lips, folded her hands on her abdomen and rubbed them together: "I understand."
Even so, Zhou Hang still sincerely persuaded him to surrender.
Sure enough, he was firmly rejected by the other party, and was ridiculed and scolded a lot.
The two failed to protect their master well, and regretted that they could wipe their necks on the spot. It can be said that they wanted to die.
Such people are good at home, but sometimes they are too stubborn.It was also for their consideration that Zhou Hang ordered people to be strictly guarded to prevent them from bumping into the stone wall or avoiding a knife and smearing their necks.Now is the moment when they are most annoyed, most excited and most self-blaming. I hope that after a few days, the two of them will calm down and realize the beauty of life. They have tried their best. Even if they fail to protect their master and escape successfully, it is not a shame, and they should not die for it. Life.
Of course, if the two of them are obsessed with obsession, there is nothing he can do.
He can watch it for a few days, but not for a lifetime. Everyone is their own destiny.
As for the king and queen, Zhou Hang directly tied them up, pulled them up and down, and shouted a few words, to the effect that your king has been bound, you have lost this battle, why are you still stubbornly fighting, why not hurry up surrender!When the Gumo army encountered the elite cavalry brought by Zhou Hang and Daiyu, it was already very difficult to fight, but when they saw that their king and queen had become prisoners, their morale was lost for a while, and they fled and surrendered. The army was defeated like a mountain.
After tidying up the battlefield, about dozens of people were killed on my side, dozens of people were seriously injured, and four to five hundred people were slightly injured.The opponent died more than a thousand, surrendered more than five thousand, and the rest fled.
Li Yu was shot in the abdomen by an arrow and stabbed in the shoulder. The wound was deep and blood only sprayed out.
He tied it with a ragged skirt, but still couldn't stop the bleeding. When Daiyu saw him, his lips were already pale and his face was pale.Daiyu then took out a pill from her sleeve and gave it to him, and called the military doctor to bandage it up.
Li Yu raised his head and said, "My injury just looks serious, it didn't hurt the vitals, so it doesn't matter."
Seeing the concern in Daiyu's eyes, he suddenly had a thought that it would be worth it even if he was stabbed again.Suddenly he felt that he was too greedy, since he decided to protect her as an elder brother in the future, he shouldn't think so much, it would only make him more unable to let go.
Raising his head, the corner of his mouth pulled out a perfect arc, and said, "I'm fine."
Daiyu said: "I've lost so much blood, I have to take good care of it." After ordering two soldiers to help him down to rest, he murmured, "It's okay." No bloodshed" "Now let me go out and kill a few strong men" and other words.
Seeing his back disappear before her eyes, Daiyu turned her head and said to Zhou Hang: "You two brothers are somewhat alike."
After the affairs were settled, Daiyu was really lectured by Zhou Hang.
Basically blaming her for not putting her own safety first.
He said with almost red eyes: "You know, you are the most important thing to me in this world!!! Everything else is just floating clouds, what kind of king Gumo, what kind of queen, what kind of great cause, nothing will happen No, but you can't take a little damage!"
"Here!" He thumped the fifth rib on the left side, his voice was lonely and sad, "I will hurt here...do you know?"
"I... I know." It was the first time Daiyu saw him in such pain.For some reason, seeing his red-eyed, painful and distorted expression, she also felt her heart was blocked.Zhou Hang might be like this too, she thought.Now she also regrets it very much, especially when Zhou Hang said that sentence:
"You know, let alone seeing it with my own eyes, I—I'm terrified just thinking you might be in danger...I've never been so scared before...I know you don't like to hide behind and be protected , so I respect you, but can you think about it for me, don't... don't leave my sight. In this kind of battlefield, as long as you leave my sight, I will worry. I can't help but think about you, yes The way you are injured, the way you are covered in blood, even your head and arms are chopped off... This is how it is here, anything is possible. Thinking of this, I feel like I can't breathe. Yu'er , I beg you, please don't leave my sight, okay..."
At the end, he grabbed Daiyu's hand in a panic, not only the eyeballs, but also the eye circles were red, and his voice was almost whimpering.
Daiyu didn't expect that a subconscious action of hers would cause him such pain.
She regretted seeing him suffer, and she suffered too.So she didn't even realize that her hand was being held by him, tears had already fallen, she sobbed and said: "I was wrong, I... I and I will never leave your sight. Brother Hang, stop talking , I... I know it all."
"You don't know!" Zhou Hang raised his voice, "Knowing that you dare to plunge into the opponent's crowd by yourself!"
Following the cold voice, Daiyu couldn't help shaking, raised her eyes, and there was some water vapor in her pupils.She felt a little wronged, but she thought that she was indeed too impulsive this time, which made him worry for so long.Although the feather arrow would not cause too much damage even if it pierced in, but she understood the feeling of seeing someone she cared about get hurt, even if it was only a small injury, it still hurts her heart.No matter how cruel he was to himself, it was understandable, so he lowered his head in aggrieved manner.
After a while, he raised his head, blinked his eyes, and said, "It's my fault that made you worry, and I won't be like this in the future."
Seeing her aggrieved appearance just now, Zhou Hang was already heartbroken, and hearing her say that made him feel even more distressed, but once again, he still wanted to say these words.He wants Daiyu to know that she is the most important thing, no matter how dangerous the situation is, she must first ensure her own safety first, and then talk about other things.
He sighed, staring at her porcelain-white slender hands, suppressing the strong desire to touch her, "Promise me, Yu'er? Don't leave me in the future to go to dangerous places, promise me... ..."
Daiyu didn't feel wronged at all now.In fact, she was not desperate to take risks. Before catching up, she was sure that she would not be in too much danger.After all, with her cultivation level at hand, how much threat can a group of ordinary people pose?
Perhaps Zhou Hang saw that she was almost injured and overly frightened, so he did this.However, through this incident, she also understood better how Zhou Hang treats her and how she treats him.For him in the future, I will take good care of myself and not let him worry about it.
-
Zhou Hang escorted Gu Mo Wang and his wife to meet Xie Anxiong to discuss how to deal with it.What Zhou Hang meant was that since he caught the change and did not do anything, he would completely eliminate future troubles.But Xie Anxiong said that this is a big matter, he has to report to the Holy Majesty, not to mention that he can't be the master, even if the Marshal is here, it will be the same.
Zhou Hang said: "It's hard to catch it, can it still be released?"
It was this couple who agreed to submit to the imperial court, to pay tribute every year and not to harass the small neighboring countries.But after the army retreats, it is a question of whether they will continue to be so honest.In case they join forces with the remnants of Rongguo to harass the border people and intrude on the small neighboring countries, why would they have to go on another expedition for this? Isn't this a waste of people and money?
Xie Anxiong struggled to get up from the bed, his lips quivered a few times, as if he had gathered enough strength.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter has to be decided personally. Besides, the top priority now is how to win the Pearl City. As for Gumo, a small country, no matter how it is dealt with in the future, it will be easy to deal with."
Having said that, Zhou Hang felt that it would be more cost-effective to take this opportunity to destroy Gumo in one fell swoop.If they let them go this time, they have already made their enemies, and there is no guarantee that there will be troubles in the future.Originally, I thought that as long as Gu Mo was willing to submit, now that I think about it, if I want to get rid of it once and for all, it is better to just destroy it.At that time, counties and counties will be set up directly on the territory of Gumo, and the officials will be directly assigned by the imperial court to govern, so as to save them from being disobedient and making trouble one day.
Zhou Hang pursed his lips for a while, and said: "Now that the King and Queen of Gumo have been captured, and the army of Gumo has fled in a panic, the country is bound to be in chaos. We will send elite cavalry to hunt down and kill them immediately. Deserters cannot return to Gumo King City. Now Gumo King City is empty, as long as we manage it properly, we will be able to take it down."
Xie Anxiong was a bit apprehensive, and said: "But... the Marshal didn't let us hunt down the enemy soldiers, and he—"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Hang interrupted: "The general is not accepted by the emperor's order, the general doesn't even understand this truth, does he?"
"We only have more than 1 people, and the soldiers are exhausted after a great battle, not to mention the Pearl City..."
Zhou Hangdao: "You don't need many people, just give me five thousand cavalry, and I will definitely flatten Gumo King City!"
"How can this be done!" Xie Anxiong was so excited that he almost lay down, "Your Highness has such a high status, how can you put yourself in danger?"
"That's it!" Zhou Hang bit his lip, and took out a token from his sleeve, which represented the emperor's presence. Xie Anxiong was so frightened that he was about to kneel down, but was held down by Zhou Hang, and said, "The general is injured." You don't need to be too polite." As he spoke, he brought the badge closer, and the words on it came into Xie Anxiong's eyes clearly.
"Before I left Beijing, I asked the Holy Majesty for this, and the Holy Majesty personally promised that if there is an emergency, I will do it cheaply."
He added: "Don't worry, general, if there is any crime, I will bear it alone, and I will never implicate others."
Having said that, there is nothing more to say.What's more, his most important thing is to worry about the prince's safety. If the prince can really take down the Gumo country in a safe and sound way, what crimes are he talking about?
However, if something happened to the prince, I'm afraid they would have to be buried with him.
Seeing that Xie Anxiong seemed to have been persuaded, Zhou Hang sat down slowly beside his bed, put the token back in his sleeve, and said: "I'll gather five thousand soldiers and horses in a while and start chasing and killing, please general Escort King Gumo and his wife back to the camp, let Rongguo see that the reinforcements they have been waiting for day and night have been defeated, and even the king and queen have been captured. Don't expect people to rescue them. See King Gumo with your own eyes With the couple in our hands, if that Emperor Dingyang of Rongguo refuses to surrender, I am afraid that his subjects will also refuse to surrender."
So Zhou Hang and Daiyu set off again, and Xiao Chenyu became their striker.
It was a pity that Li Yu was unable to accompany him due to his injuries.
The fact is exactly as Zhou Hang expected, those defeated Gumo soldiers fled all the way to the royal city, but because there were so many chasing soldiers and the pursuit was very urgent, there was no chance to escape back to the royal city, so they scattered in all directions.After chasing for a day and a night, I met dozens of Gumo soldiers, large and small, and experienced more than a dozen battles, of course, Daiyu and Zhou Hang won all the battles.
In the early morning of the next day, Gumo's stragglers were rarely seen.
Zhou Hang said: "I'm afraid those Gumo soldiers have been left behind by us, and they dare not come back."
That's their original purpose.
Let's say that at the same time as they set off, Xie Anxiong, Li Yu and others also returned to Zhengbei Camp outside Mingzhu City with 1 years of troops, King Gumo and his wife and a small number of captives.The marshal had heard the news of their great victory long ago, and went five miles away from Yuanmen to greet them.Then, the mighty army did not return to the camp, and directly pressed King Gumo and Queen to Mingzhu City, put them in a prison car, pulled them up to the gate of the city, and told them not to expect someone to rescue them. The head coach of the reinforcements has been captured.
At that time, Emperor Dingyang stood tall on the top of the city gate, with a black and blue face, and only called out "Sister, sister-in-law, you——how did you——" How did you lose so quickly!Twenty thousand elite soldiers and horses, even if they can't break through for a while, they should be able to hold off for a few days.How come, so, so useless? ! !These two useless wretches who have done more than succeed in doing things...
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and vomited blood and fainted.
According to the news from reliable spies, even so, he still stubbornly refused to surrender.However, the city was already in chaos, and the soldiers and civilians were all worried, especially the hungry people who had been suppressed for a long time, and they had been running around privately telling each other to surrender.
So that night, when Emperor Dingyang was fast asleep, a dozen warriors rushed out and tied him up.In the early morning of the second day, this mighty prairie overlord was bound and sent to the marshal, along with his dozens of children.
Pearl City was taken.
Although this is a very fortunate thing, it was also expected by everyone.
King Gumo and his wife, Emperor Dingyang and their children were imprisoned in a large tent, and the guards were very strict.There are fifty guards outside the tent, fifty spearmen outside, and a circle of crossbows outside. Under these layers of siege, not to mention escaping, not even a mouse can escape.
It was on this day that Li Xu arrived at Zhengbei Camp, and naturally Sang Sheng was with him.
At that time the marshal was leading the soldiers in Mingzhu City, there were only a few generals in the camp, and Li Yu was naturally among them.This time Li Xu brought a lot of grain, grass, cloth, cotton, etc., and pulled four or five hundred carts.Hearing that Mingzhu City had already been captured, he was a little surprised, and then laughed.
"I'm late, I don't have to walk around the battlefield!" Looking at Sang Sheng, he seemed to say with some regret.
Looking at Li Yu, seeing that he was seriously injured, he felt a little distressed, but he didn't show it too clearly on his face, and said: "If you see blood on the battlefield, you can be regarded as a real man."
Then he asked again, "Why don't you see your sister?"
Li Yu then told him about Zhou Hang and Daiyu leading troops to attack Gumo King City. Li Xu blew his beard and said, "What are these soldiers and soldiers doing? They hide in the back and enjoy life, and let a woman go to the battlefield!"
He called the marshal's name, turned angrily and walked out, saying that he wanted to find his theory.
Li Yu hurriedly got up to stop him, saying: "Father, wait, father!"
Li Xu had already gritted his teeth and walked to the door of the tent, so Li Xu had no choice but to step forward quickly and grab Li Xu's arm: "Father!"
Li Xu swung his arm subconsciously. Li Yu was already injured. Although he took Daiyu's pills and drank some spiritual spring water, the wound recovered very well, after all, he hadn't healed yet.At this moment, being thrown by Li Xu, he staggered, his eyes went dark, and his whole body seemed to be floating up, biting his lips to bleed to regain clarity, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain from his shoulder.
But he couldn't care less.
"Father, please listen to my explanation first..." he said.
Li Xu looked at Li Yu, saw his body swaying, remembered that he had unconsciously dumped him just now, squinted his eyes, and felt a little regretful, but it was naturally difficult for a father to say sorry to his son.Therefore, he used action instead, stepped forward to hold Li Yu's arm, so that he would not shake.But when he heard his explanation, thinking that Daiyu and Zhou Hang were fighting on the battlefield at this moment, and they might have been injured, they became angry again.
"Explain what!" Li Xu pursed his lips with a cold expression, "I have to ask for an explanation!"
Talking and leaving.
"Father!" Li Yu yelled, clenched his hands suddenly, and his veins burst out, "You...you don't keep your voice down, do you want everyone to know that sister Daiyu has come to the barracks?!! "When talking about sister Daiyu, he lowered his voice and looked out vigilantly, seeing that there was no one outside the tent, he was relieved.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, "I still need you to remind me, I have already dismissed the people outside."
Sang Sheng also came to pull Li Xu, admonishing him not to worry, at least listen to what the child wants to say.
Li Xu can still listen to Sang Sheng's words.So Li Yu told Li Xu about Daiyu and Zhou Hang's great feats when they came to the barracks, and wanted him to rest assured that the crown prince and Daiyu were extraordinary, and nothing major would happen.
Since he didn't see it with his own eyes, Li Xu still didn't believe it.In the end, he decided to go to Gumo King City himself.First of all, he is worried about Daiyu's girl, and secondly, it is the prince. It will not be good for either of these two children to be injured.Although Li Yu has repeatedly emphasized that Daiyu and Zhou Hang have unpredictable kung fu, and they will never hurt others easily as he said, but he is still worried.
When he and Sang Sheng arrived in a hurry with a few entourages, Gumo King City had already been captured.
Many court troops were stationed around the royal city. They heard that it was King Jing who was coming, and after confirming his identity, they respectfully invited him to the palace.Gumo's palace is naturally incomparable with the palace in the capital, it is not as spacious as an ordinary duke's mansion in the capital, but it can be regarded as a magnificent building among the small countries in the Western Regions.
Zhou Hang suffered a slight injury on his arm, nothing serious.
He could not have been injured, but in the end he was stabbed, which is really a bit wronged.After breaking through the city, they broke into the palace without too much effort and captured the little prince. Everything went smoothly, but because of a moment of pity, they suffered such a knife for nothing.
In front of the main palace, a little girl in thin clothes, about eight|nine years old, fell to the ground crying pitifully, with a lot of blood on her body.Her emaciated appearance, shivering in the cold wind, and wearing pink clothes somehow reminded Zhou Hang of Daiyu a few years ago, so he stepped forward to help her, but unexpectedly the child turned her head and opened her eyes. A pair of blood-red eyes looked at her, a cold light flashed in his hand, the blade was as fast as lightning, the child was actually going to kill him!Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise it would not have been a minor injury.
Afterwards, Zhou Hang learned that the girl was the princess of Gumo, the youngest sister of King Gumo.
When Daiyu bandaged Zhou Hang, she tightened the bandage in her hand vigorously, and Zhou Hang grunted in pain.
Daiyu: "See if you know how to be careful next time!"
Zhou Hang looked up at Daiyu, but didn't dare to say anything.
I thought, next time, no matter how pitiful anyone is except you, I won't even blink if I die in front of me.
When Li Xu came, Zhou Hang had finished bandaging and was sitting side by side with Daiyu on the steps in front of the throne.Li Xu's steps were a little fast, and every time he took a step, the sword on his waist hit the armor with a "clang" sound, and his heavy footsteps gave off a sense of haste.
"I heard that you were injured, but is it serious?" he said as he walked.
Daiyu got up to meet her, and Zhou Hang stood up slowly, moving her injured arm, and proved to her that there was nothing serious about it.Seeing that he was only slightly injured, Li Xu turned his gaze to Daiyu.Although it was not the first time for Li Xu to see her in men's clothing, it was definitely the first time for her in military uniform.She was dressed in silver-white armor, and her battle robe was also white. Although she had just gone through a battle, she was still very clean because she hadn't been directly involved in the battle.At this moment, her helmet has been taken off, her jet-black hair is tied on top, and a few strands of hair are sticking to her forehead wet with sweat. Her skin is porcelain white and flushed, and she is more heroic and full of aura.
Li Xu couldn't help saying: "You look more elegant with this outfit."
Daiyu lowered her head and smiled in embarrassment, and Li Xu asked again, "Aren't you hurt?"
Daiyu shook her head, and he said: "If Boy Hang dares to hurt you, I will beat Brother Huang until his ass blooms."
Although these words were not very elegant, it made Daiyu feel very warm.At this time, there was no one else in the main hall, so Daiyu talked to Li Xu about his friendship, and asked him if he could see Lin Ruhai, how was the border town and so on.Li Xu told her that although she had seen him, Lin Ruhai had sent a letter saying that everything was fine with him in Shandong, and told her not to worry.
Now that Gumo Kingdom has been conquered, Daiyu and Zhou Hang have no reason to wait for long.They left [-] soldiers and horses stationed there, and they brought [-] cavalry back to the camp. Naturally, Gumo's princess and little prince also took them back.
On the way, the little prince kept crying, crying so heartbreakingly that his voice was almost hoarse.
Daiyu couldn't hear a child crying the most. Although the crying child was Gumo's prince, and she was regarded as an enemy, but after all, it was only a two-year-old child, so she couldn't help but bear it.So, he ordered someone to bring the little prince to him.The child's hands were tied upside down, and because the binding time was too long, there were deep red marks, and the little face was flushed from crying, and there were tears all over his face. Sobbing and whimpering, flapping of the nostrils, very pitiful.
Seeing that the child was untied from his hands, and hugged and coaxed in his arms in a hurry, Zhou Hang's eyes flickered, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
But Li Xu said: "Yu'er, this is no ordinary child, he is the prince of Gumo." It means to warn him not to get too close to this kid, because most likely he wants to kill the grass, if he shows affection at this time , even more unbearable at that time.
He just said what Zhou Hang wanted to say but couldn't bear to say, Zhou Hang couldn't help but glanced at him.
Daiyu understands the meaning of his words, and she also understands the truth, but——
She said: "I don't care about things in the future. But right now, I can't do it without watching such a big child suffer. Even if you are a prisoner, you should have the right to be respected, even if King Gumo made a thousand mistakes. , he is only a child over two years old, what is wrong with him? I can help for a while, as for life or death in the future, it depends on his fate..."
The little prince was frightened, and timidly huddled in Daiyu's arms, like a frightened little bird, his eyes were red when he looked at others, his eyes were frightening at a young age, but when he looked at Daiyu in the blink of an eye, his eyes turned red again. It's another kind of situation, it's pitiful, attached...
Zhou Hang looked at the kid, who was staring at him fixedly, with hatred in his eyes.
People often think that children are innocent, especially children who are only two or three years old, and they don't understand anything.Little do they know that although children are young, some things are even clearer than adults.Gumo's two or three-year-old little prince seems to know how to use his weakness to win sympathy, and how to do what is best for him.If such a child is not handled properly, it may be detrimental to Daiyu in the future...
Zhou Hang secretly tightened the reins of the horse, thinking that Daiyu should not be too close to him.
It was already the evening of the second day when the victorious troops returned to the Beibei camp full of impassioned emotions.The marshal held a grand welcome ceremony, followed by rewarding the three armies and setting up a banquet. This evening, the soldiers can drink to their heart's content, with enough wine and meat.
At the banquet, the marshal announced Zhou Hang's true identity, and many soldiers realized that the prince Zhou who shared joys and sorrows with them every day turned out to be the current crown prince. They were surprised and proud, and then felt a sense of surrender from the bottom of their hearts. Such a prince who is willing to endure hardships and is willing to understand the situation and share the joys and sorrows with the subordinates is the blessing of the court and the people.
Zhou Hang let go of his courage and courage this day, not only drinking what others offered to him, but also blocking for Daiyu.
In the end, everyone was drinking a little too much, and many people had the courage to come up to him and say that he was not mean enough, and that he was a good brother but had lied to them for so long, and they all wanted to punish him for drinking.He also did not refuse anyone who came, and drank wine like water, and could not remember how many glasses of wine were toasted to him.
In short, in the end, even though Zhou Hang had an amazing drinking capacity, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.
He didn't remember how he got back to his camp. When he woke up the next day, he just felt a pain in his head. He rubbed his temples and walked out. Everyone saluted him and called him His Royal Highness when they saw him. The identity seems to be exposed.
But the battle is over, let's expose it.
Even at this moment, the emperor Lao Tzu sent someone to arrest him, so there is no regret.
He doesn't rely on his status to entrust himself to the big, he still smiles and is polite when he sees everyone, but unexpectedly gains more support.Although the soldiers were very respectful when they saw him, they could not alienate him, and they still got along harmoniously.
During this trip, Li Xu brought a lot of food, grass and cotton clothes. Now the soldiers are well fed and warmly dressed, and feel more comfortable.
Now that the strategic goals have been exceeded, it is impossible for the army to stay in this cold place for a long time.
A few generals were left to guard Mingzhu City, and the marshal planned to take the rest of the soldiers back to the court. Now that it is November, calculate the schedule with your fingers, and if you speed up your pace, you can still go home in time for the New Year.The return journey naturally had to pass through the border town, passing through Shan County, Li Xu has already investigated and found out that the group of masked Taoists who attacked Li Yu and robbed the food and grass, now that the border war is over, Zhou Hang is also planning to take advantage of the return of the army. Went out.So I agreed with Li Xu to take the army to the cave near Shan County, which is the old lair of the masked Taoist.As for the county magistrate of Qiu County and those squires, it only needs a general with a few hundred cavalry to solve the problem.
There is also the training ground hidden in a secret place, which needs to be found out.
The day before departure, Zhou Hang stayed in Daiyu's tent until late at night. The two of them planned in detail, down to which route to take, who would lead the troops in the front and who would be in the back, and who would go in first when they arrived at the cave. How to act, how to arrest people.
As she spoke, Daiyu put down the pen in her hand, went to the couch, and sighed a long time.
Zhou Hang also put down his pen and looked up at her. Seeing her frowning slightly, he walked to her side, moved a small stool and sat down, leaning his elbows on the couch, resting his chin on his hand, and asked, "Why, but Tired? Take a rest when you are tired, I will watch over you..."
Daiyu glanced at him, pursed her lips and said, "I suddenly remembered something..."
"What's the matter?" He retracted his arms, his eyeballs were already glued to her body, and there was a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I was thinking..." Daiyu sat up slowly, her eyes shrinking, "The demon is not a fool, knowing that we will pass through Shan County after our triumph, why didn't he make any preparations?"
"You mean?" Zhou Hang asked, tilting his head.
"If I were that demon, I wouldn't just stay obediently in my old lair and wait for someone to beat me. You said he was seriously injured, and he knew he couldn't beat us, so why didn't he run away early?"
Zhou Hang said: "I have considered this. But no matter what, I have to go and have a look. Even if the demon road escapes, I will also destroy the old lair that he has been running for many years, so that he will not be able to live even if he goes back in the future. And the county magistrate and the squire should be punished..."
Speaking of this, he stopped, with a dignified expression and distant eyes, as if he was recalling something.
After a long while, he said, "From your captivity in Yangzhou City to what happened in the capital, my cousin was attacked while transporting grain and grass, I was attacked while hunting, and the living dead... everything is related to a force behind it. This is not A simple force, what they want to do is to plot rebellion, not only to kill you and me, but also the emperor, and thousands of people... Even if there is only a trace of clues, we must thoroughly investigate to the end."
"It's natural." Daiyu said.
After being busy for several days, Zhou Hang and Daiyu spent very little time together privately. He had no close contact with Daiyu for several days, which made him feel that his whole body was not normal. Her brain is not normal, and her hands are itchy. She always wants to stretch out her paws to touch it, but Daiyu refuses.His so-called close contact is not too much, but he turned into a cat and was hugged by Daiyu, or he turned into a giant cat and hugged Daiyu.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is so easy for a man and a widow to be in the same room, and discussing these issues is a waste of time.
"Yu'er, let's not talk about this, let's go into the space."
"What are you doing in the space?" Daiyu tilted her head slightly, with doubts in her eyes.
Zhou Hang didn't intend to explain, he dragged Daiyu in, and before Daiyu could react, he turned into a giant cat and hugged him.Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then opened her arms and hugged the giant cat's head, giggling.Facing his state, she has always been helpless.
Zhou Hang twitched the beard at the corner of his mouth proudly, flicked his tail left and right slowly, and said, "Come on my back, and I'll take you for a run."
Daiyu really climbed onto his back, grabbed the hair on his neck, and patted his head.
"Let's go, I'm sitting still."
The neck is a sensitive area, the skin is delicate, and the hair there is no better than other places. To be honest, it still hurts, but since Daiyu likes this, well, he can still bear the pain.
"Help it up, don't fall." He reminded him again before he let go of his limbs and started to run.At the beginning, I didn't dare to run too fast, because I was afraid that if Daiyu didn't hold on firmly, she would be thrown off.After jogging for a few hundred meters, he gradually quickened his pace and ran towards a grassy hillside, running faster and faster, bringing gusts of wind.
The ends of Daiyu's hair were blown up, she squinted her eyes and enjoyed sucking in the space mixed with spiritual energy.It's a very fresh smell, better than the smell of water vapor and sunshine after the rain, just like... the smell of dew on the lotus in summer. She likes to collect the morning dew on the lotus to make tea. It is this kind of smell, with a faint and inaudible fragrance when awake, very pleasant.
"Brother Hang, slow down."
After Zhou Hang slowed down, she slowly opened her hands, narrowed her eyes, and let the breeze blow by her side.
"Quicker!"
she asked again.But Zhou Hang was afraid that she would fall, and although he promised well, he didn't run too fast, only a little faster than before.Daiyu was obviously still not satisfied, she pouted and said: "Be faster, there is no wind!"
About to run at the speed of the wind, Zhou Hang couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look at Daiyu.
"Hold my neck tightly, and I'll take you up the mountain as fast as I can."
Daiyu obediently followed behind him.His battle robe fluttered in the strong wind, like a banner fluttering in the wind.Seen from the back, his shoulders are very broad and thick. He seems to have grown taller these days after he came out. He is tall and straight, and he rides mighty on the horse.At a certain moment, the back of Zhou Hang in Daiyu's eyes coincided with the figure of the experienced general in the biographies he read in the past, which made him feel a surge of emotion.
The heroes of old were like that too, she thought.
But when she thought of Zhou Hang's stern face and Zhou Hang's stern face, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and couldn't care less about admiring someone's heroic demeanor.
She had a hunch that although Zhou Hang didn't mention it right now, it didn't just reveal it.
He remembered in his heart that when the battle was over, he would definitely have to preach to himself again.
However, that is a matter for the future, but I can't take care of it at the moment.
The king and queen just ran forward without looking back, it seemed that they were terrified.The two guards kept on shooting arrows, their skills were quite good, fast, accurate, and ruthless, each feather arrow could be shot 500 meters away, and there was a strong wind.As expected of the king and his personal guards in the future, all of them have extraordinary skills.
But even with such a sharp arrow technique, it didn't hurt Daiyu and Zhou Hang at all.
Zhou Hang held a long snake spear in his hand. He flicked his wrist from side to side, hooking, picking, picking, and stabbing very flexibly. The feathered arrows with strong wind fell to the ground as soon as they touched the spear tip, and many With a lot of spare energy, it was inserted in the grass on both sides.Wherever they passed, there were already two rows inserted crookedly, one on the left and one side of the horse.
Only at this moment did Daiyu feel that learning more martial arts moves is still very beneficial. For example, at this moment, although she is slightly better than Zhou Hang in terms of cultivation, due to lack of moves, she is not as handy as he is on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Gumo's personal guard knew that he had encountered a master, and he was a master whose strength was far superior to his own, and he was shouldering the important task of protecting the king and queen. Not only the accuracy is not as good as before, but also the strength is not as good as before. In the end, due to anxiety and exhaustion of physical strength, the hand that draws the bow is trembling slightly.
In the end, King Gumo and Queen naturally did not run away.
Zhou Hang rushed forward, knocked down the two guards with one knife, and with a light shake of his hand, he shook out a rope, and tied them up three times and five times.Daiyu has also restrained King Gumo and his queen, and tied them with ropes.The two personal guards Hong stared at Daiyu and Zhou Hang, the anger in their eyes was like a knife, their mouths were blocked and they couldn't speak, they made an angry whining sound, and their bodies struggled like a twisted caterpillar.
Facing thousands of troops, she still wholeheartedly protected her. Daiyu admired the courage of King Gumo's two personal guards.She glanced at Zhou Hang and murmured in Zhou Hang's ear: "These two have backbone, it's a pity..."
Zhou Hang also whispered: "Such a person is certainly respectable, but the possibility of surrender is very small. Do you know that there is a kind of dog in Tubo? It is tall, ferocious and wild, with the appearance of a lion and the strength of a tiger. It is very vicious. But they are extremely loyal to their masters. This kind of dog will only be loyal to one master in its life, and will never have two masters."
Daiyu pursed her lips, folded her hands on her abdomen and rubbed them together: "I understand."
Even so, Zhou Hang still sincerely persuaded him to surrender.
Sure enough, he was firmly rejected by the other party, and was ridiculed and scolded a lot.
The two failed to protect their master well, and regretted that they could wipe their necks on the spot. It can be said that they wanted to die.
Such people are good at home, but sometimes they are too stubborn.It was also for their consideration that Zhou Hang ordered people to be strictly guarded to prevent them from bumping into the stone wall or avoiding a knife and smearing their necks.Now is the moment when they are most annoyed, most excited and most self-blaming. I hope that after a few days, the two of them will calm down and realize the beauty of life. They have tried their best. Even if they fail to protect their master and escape successfully, it is not a shame, and they should not die for it. Life.
Of course, if the two of them are obsessed with obsession, there is nothing he can do.
He can watch it for a few days, but not for a lifetime. Everyone is their own destiny.
As for the king and queen, Zhou Hang directly tied them up, pulled them up and down, and shouted a few words, to the effect that your king has been bound, you have lost this battle, why are you still stubbornly fighting, why not hurry up surrender!When the Gumo army encountered the elite cavalry brought by Zhou Hang and Daiyu, it was already very difficult to fight, but when they saw that their king and queen had become prisoners, their morale was lost for a while, and they fled and surrendered. The army was defeated like a mountain.
After tidying up the battlefield, about dozens of people were killed on my side, dozens of people were seriously injured, and four to five hundred people were slightly injured.The opponent died more than a thousand, surrendered more than five thousand, and the rest fled.
Li Yu was shot in the abdomen by an arrow and stabbed in the shoulder. The wound was deep and blood only sprayed out.
He tied it with a ragged skirt, but still couldn't stop the bleeding. When Daiyu saw him, his lips were already pale and his face was pale.Daiyu then took out a pill from her sleeve and gave it to him, and called the military doctor to bandage it up.
Li Yu raised his head and said, "My injury just looks serious, it didn't hurt the vitals, so it doesn't matter."
Seeing the concern in Daiyu's eyes, he suddenly had a thought that it would be worth it even if he was stabbed again.Suddenly he felt that he was too greedy, since he decided to protect her as an elder brother in the future, he shouldn't think so much, it would only make him more unable to let go.
Raising his head, the corner of his mouth pulled out a perfect arc, and said, "I'm fine."
Daiyu said: "I've lost so much blood, I have to take good care of it." After ordering two soldiers to help him down to rest, he murmured, "It's okay." No bloodshed" "Now let me go out and kill a few strong men" and other words.
Seeing his back disappear before her eyes, Daiyu turned her head and said to Zhou Hang: "You two brothers are somewhat alike."
After the affairs were settled, Daiyu was really lectured by Zhou Hang.
Basically blaming her for not putting her own safety first.
He said with almost red eyes: "You know, you are the most important thing to me in this world!!! Everything else is just floating clouds, what kind of king Gumo, what kind of queen, what kind of great cause, nothing will happen No, but you can't take a little damage!"
"Here!" He thumped the fifth rib on the left side, his voice was lonely and sad, "I will hurt here...do you know?"
"I... I know." It was the first time Daiyu saw him in such pain.For some reason, seeing his red-eyed, painful and distorted expression, she also felt her heart was blocked.Zhou Hang might be like this too, she thought.Now she also regrets it very much, especially when Zhou Hang said that sentence:
"You know, let alone seeing it with my own eyes, I—I'm terrified just thinking you might be in danger...I've never been so scared before...I know you don't like to hide behind and be protected , so I respect you, but can you think about it for me, don't... don't leave my sight. In this kind of battlefield, as long as you leave my sight, I will worry. I can't help but think about you, yes The way you are injured, the way you are covered in blood, even your head and arms are chopped off... This is how it is here, anything is possible. Thinking of this, I feel like I can't breathe. Yu'er , I beg you, please don't leave my sight, okay..."
At the end, he grabbed Daiyu's hand in a panic, not only the eyeballs, but also the eye circles were red, and his voice was almost whimpering.
Daiyu didn't expect that a subconscious action of hers would cause him such pain.
She regretted seeing him suffer, and she suffered too.So she didn't even realize that her hand was being held by him, tears had already fallen, she sobbed and said: "I was wrong, I... I and I will never leave your sight. Brother Hang, stop talking , I... I know it all."
"You don't know!" Zhou Hang raised his voice, "Knowing that you dare to plunge into the opponent's crowd by yourself!"
Following the cold voice, Daiyu couldn't help shaking, raised her eyes, and there was some water vapor in her pupils.She felt a little wronged, but she thought that she was indeed too impulsive this time, which made him worry for so long.Although the feather arrow would not cause too much damage even if it pierced in, but she understood the feeling of seeing someone she cared about get hurt, even if it was only a small injury, it still hurts her heart.No matter how cruel he was to himself, it was understandable, so he lowered his head in aggrieved manner.
After a while, he raised his head, blinked his eyes, and said, "It's my fault that made you worry, and I won't be like this in the future."
Seeing her aggrieved appearance just now, Zhou Hang was already heartbroken, and hearing her say that made him feel even more distressed, but once again, he still wanted to say these words.He wants Daiyu to know that she is the most important thing, no matter how dangerous the situation is, she must first ensure her own safety first, and then talk about other things.
He sighed, staring at her porcelain-white slender hands, suppressing the strong desire to touch her, "Promise me, Yu'er? Don't leave me in the future to go to dangerous places, promise me... ..."
Daiyu didn't feel wronged at all now.In fact, she was not desperate to take risks. Before catching up, she was sure that she would not be in too much danger.After all, with her cultivation level at hand, how much threat can a group of ordinary people pose?
Perhaps Zhou Hang saw that she was almost injured and overly frightened, so he did this.However, through this incident, she also understood better how Zhou Hang treats her and how she treats him.For him in the future, I will take good care of myself and not let him worry about it.
-
Zhou Hang escorted Gu Mo Wang and his wife to meet Xie Anxiong to discuss how to deal with it.What Zhou Hang meant was that since he caught the change and did not do anything, he would completely eliminate future troubles.But Xie Anxiong said that this is a big matter, he has to report to the Holy Majesty, not to mention that he can't be the master, even if the Marshal is here, it will be the same.
Zhou Hang said: "It's hard to catch it, can it still be released?"
It was this couple who agreed to submit to the imperial court, to pay tribute every year and not to harass the small neighboring countries.But after the army retreats, it is a question of whether they will continue to be so honest.In case they join forces with the remnants of Rongguo to harass the border people and intrude on the small neighboring countries, why would they have to go on another expedition for this? Isn't this a waste of people and money?
Xie Anxiong struggled to get up from the bed, his lips quivered a few times, as if he had gathered enough strength.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter has to be decided personally. Besides, the top priority now is how to win the Pearl City. As for Gumo, a small country, no matter how it is dealt with in the future, it will be easy to deal with."
Having said that, Zhou Hang felt that it would be more cost-effective to take this opportunity to destroy Gumo in one fell swoop.If they let them go this time, they have already made their enemies, and there is no guarantee that there will be troubles in the future.Originally, I thought that as long as Gu Mo was willing to submit, now that I think about it, if I want to get rid of it once and for all, it is better to just destroy it.At that time, counties and counties will be set up directly on the territory of Gumo, and the officials will be directly assigned by the imperial court to govern, so as to save them from being disobedient and making trouble one day.
Zhou Hang pursed his lips for a while, and said: "Now that the King and Queen of Gumo have been captured, and the army of Gumo has fled in a panic, the country is bound to be in chaos. We will send elite cavalry to hunt down and kill them immediately. Deserters cannot return to Gumo King City. Now Gumo King City is empty, as long as we manage it properly, we will be able to take it down."
Xie Anxiong was a bit apprehensive, and said: "But... the Marshal didn't let us hunt down the enemy soldiers, and he—"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Hang interrupted: "The general is not accepted by the emperor's order, the general doesn't even understand this truth, does he?"
"We only have more than 1 people, and the soldiers are exhausted after a great battle, not to mention the Pearl City..."
Zhou Hangdao: "You don't need many people, just give me five thousand cavalry, and I will definitely flatten Gumo King City!"
"How can this be done!" Xie Anxiong was so excited that he almost lay down, "Your Highness has such a high status, how can you put yourself in danger?"
"That's it!" Zhou Hang bit his lip, and took out a token from his sleeve, which represented the emperor's presence. Xie Anxiong was so frightened that he was about to kneel down, but was held down by Zhou Hang, and said, "The general is injured." You don't need to be too polite." As he spoke, he brought the badge closer, and the words on it came into Xie Anxiong's eyes clearly.
"Before I left Beijing, I asked the Holy Majesty for this, and the Holy Majesty personally promised that if there is an emergency, I will do it cheaply."
He added: "Don't worry, general, if there is any crime, I will bear it alone, and I will never implicate others."
Having said that, there is nothing more to say.What's more, his most important thing is to worry about the prince's safety. If the prince can really take down the Gumo country in a safe and sound way, what crimes are he talking about?
However, if something happened to the prince, I'm afraid they would have to be buried with him.
Seeing that Xie Anxiong seemed to have been persuaded, Zhou Hang sat down slowly beside his bed, put the token back in his sleeve, and said: "I'll gather five thousand soldiers and horses in a while and start chasing and killing, please general Escort King Gumo and his wife back to the camp, let Rongguo see that the reinforcements they have been waiting for day and night have been defeated, and even the king and queen have been captured. Don't expect people to rescue them. See King Gumo with your own eyes With the couple in our hands, if that Emperor Dingyang of Rongguo refuses to surrender, I am afraid that his subjects will also refuse to surrender."
So Zhou Hang and Daiyu set off again, and Xiao Chenyu became their striker.
It was a pity that Li Yu was unable to accompany him due to his injuries.
The fact is exactly as Zhou Hang expected, those defeated Gumo soldiers fled all the way to the royal city, but because there were so many chasing soldiers and the pursuit was very urgent, there was no chance to escape back to the royal city, so they scattered in all directions.After chasing for a day and a night, I met dozens of Gumo soldiers, large and small, and experienced more than a dozen battles, of course, Daiyu and Zhou Hang won all the battles.
In the early morning of the next day, Gumo's stragglers were rarely seen.
Zhou Hang said: "I'm afraid those Gumo soldiers have been left behind by us, and they dare not come back."
That's their original purpose.
Let's say that at the same time as they set off, Xie Anxiong, Li Yu and others also returned to Zhengbei Camp outside Mingzhu City with 1 years of troops, King Gumo and his wife and a small number of captives.The marshal had heard the news of their great victory long ago, and went five miles away from Yuanmen to greet them.Then, the mighty army did not return to the camp, and directly pressed King Gumo and Queen to Mingzhu City, put them in a prison car, pulled them up to the gate of the city, and told them not to expect someone to rescue them. The head coach of the reinforcements has been captured.
At that time, Emperor Dingyang stood tall on the top of the city gate, with a black and blue face, and only called out "Sister, sister-in-law, you——how did you——" How did you lose so quickly!Twenty thousand elite soldiers and horses, even if they can't break through for a while, they should be able to hold off for a few days.How come, so, so useless? ! !These two useless wretches who have done more than succeed in doing things...
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and vomited blood and fainted.
According to the news from reliable spies, even so, he still stubbornly refused to surrender.However, the city was already in chaos, and the soldiers and civilians were all worried, especially the hungry people who had been suppressed for a long time, and they had been running around privately telling each other to surrender.
So that night, when Emperor Dingyang was fast asleep, a dozen warriors rushed out and tied him up.In the early morning of the second day, this mighty prairie overlord was bound and sent to the marshal, along with his dozens of children.
Pearl City was taken.
Although this is a very fortunate thing, it was also expected by everyone.
King Gumo and his wife, Emperor Dingyang and their children were imprisoned in a large tent, and the guards were very strict.There are fifty guards outside the tent, fifty spearmen outside, and a circle of crossbows outside. Under these layers of siege, not to mention escaping, not even a mouse can escape.
It was on this day that Li Xu arrived at Zhengbei Camp, and naturally Sang Sheng was with him.
At that time the marshal was leading the soldiers in Mingzhu City, there were only a few generals in the camp, and Li Yu was naturally among them.This time Li Xu brought a lot of grain, grass, cloth, cotton, etc., and pulled four or five hundred carts.Hearing that Mingzhu City had already been captured, he was a little surprised, and then laughed.
"I'm late, I don't have to walk around the battlefield!" Looking at Sang Sheng, he seemed to say with some regret.
Looking at Li Yu, seeing that he was seriously injured, he felt a little distressed, but he didn't show it too clearly on his face, and said: "If you see blood on the battlefield, you can be regarded as a real man."
Then he asked again, "Why don't you see your sister?"
Li Yu then told him about Zhou Hang and Daiyu leading troops to attack Gumo King City. Li Xu blew his beard and said, "What are these soldiers and soldiers doing? They hide in the back and enjoy life, and let a woman go to the battlefield!"
He called the marshal's name, turned angrily and walked out, saying that he wanted to find his theory.
Li Yu hurriedly got up to stop him, saying: "Father, wait, father!"
Li Xu had already gritted his teeth and walked to the door of the tent, so Li Xu had no choice but to step forward quickly and grab Li Xu's arm: "Father!"
Li Xu swung his arm subconsciously. Li Yu was already injured. Although he took Daiyu's pills and drank some spiritual spring water, the wound recovered very well, after all, he hadn't healed yet.At this moment, being thrown by Li Xu, he staggered, his eyes went dark, and his whole body seemed to be floating up, biting his lips to bleed to regain clarity, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain from his shoulder.
But he couldn't care less.
"Father, please listen to my explanation first..." he said.
Li Xu looked at Li Yu, saw his body swaying, remembered that he had unconsciously dumped him just now, squinted his eyes, and felt a little regretful, but it was naturally difficult for a father to say sorry to his son.Therefore, he used action instead, stepped forward to hold Li Yu's arm, so that he would not shake.But when he heard his explanation, thinking that Daiyu and Zhou Hang were fighting on the battlefield at this moment, and they might have been injured, they became angry again.
"Explain what!" Li Xu pursed his lips with a cold expression, "I have to ask for an explanation!"
Talking and leaving.
"Father!" Li Yu yelled, clenched his hands suddenly, and his veins burst out, "You...you don't keep your voice down, do you want everyone to know that sister Daiyu has come to the barracks?!! "When talking about sister Daiyu, he lowered his voice and looked out vigilantly, seeing that there was no one outside the tent, he was relieved.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, "I still need you to remind me, I have already dismissed the people outside."
Sang Sheng also came to pull Li Xu, admonishing him not to worry, at least listen to what the child wants to say.
Li Xu can still listen to Sang Sheng's words.So Li Yu told Li Xu about Daiyu and Zhou Hang's great feats when they came to the barracks, and wanted him to rest assured that the crown prince and Daiyu were extraordinary, and nothing major would happen.
Since he didn't see it with his own eyes, Li Xu still didn't believe it.In the end, he decided to go to Gumo King City himself.First of all, he is worried about Daiyu's girl, and secondly, it is the prince. It will not be good for either of these two children to be injured.Although Li Yu has repeatedly emphasized that Daiyu and Zhou Hang have unpredictable kung fu, and they will never hurt others easily as he said, but he is still worried.
When he and Sang Sheng arrived in a hurry with a few entourages, Gumo King City had already been captured.
Many court troops were stationed around the royal city. They heard that it was King Jing who was coming, and after confirming his identity, they respectfully invited him to the palace.Gumo's palace is naturally incomparable with the palace in the capital, it is not as spacious as an ordinary duke's mansion in the capital, but it can be regarded as a magnificent building among the small countries in the Western Regions.
Zhou Hang suffered a slight injury on his arm, nothing serious.
He could not have been injured, but in the end he was stabbed, which is really a bit wronged.After breaking through the city, they broke into the palace without too much effort and captured the little prince. Everything went smoothly, but because of a moment of pity, they suffered such a knife for nothing.
In front of the main palace, a little girl in thin clothes, about eight|nine years old, fell to the ground crying pitifully, with a lot of blood on her body.Her emaciated appearance, shivering in the cold wind, and wearing pink clothes somehow reminded Zhou Hang of Daiyu a few years ago, so he stepped forward to help her, but unexpectedly the child turned her head and opened her eyes. A pair of blood-red eyes looked at her, a cold light flashed in his hand, the blade was as fast as lightning, the child was actually going to kill him!Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise it would not have been a minor injury.
Afterwards, Zhou Hang learned that the girl was the princess of Gumo, the youngest sister of King Gumo.
When Daiyu bandaged Zhou Hang, she tightened the bandage in her hand vigorously, and Zhou Hang grunted in pain.
Daiyu: "See if you know how to be careful next time!"
Zhou Hang looked up at Daiyu, but didn't dare to say anything.
I thought, next time, no matter how pitiful anyone is except you, I won't even blink if I die in front of me.
When Li Xu came, Zhou Hang had finished bandaging and was sitting side by side with Daiyu on the steps in front of the throne.Li Xu's steps were a little fast, and every time he took a step, the sword on his waist hit the armor with a "clang" sound, and his heavy footsteps gave off a sense of haste.
"I heard that you were injured, but is it serious?" he said as he walked.
Daiyu got up to meet her, and Zhou Hang stood up slowly, moving her injured arm, and proved to her that there was nothing serious about it.Seeing that he was only slightly injured, Li Xu turned his gaze to Daiyu.Although it was not the first time for Li Xu to see her in men's clothing, it was definitely the first time for her in military uniform.She was dressed in silver-white armor, and her battle robe was also white. Although she had just gone through a battle, she was still very clean because she hadn't been directly involved in the battle.At this moment, her helmet has been taken off, her jet-black hair is tied on top, and a few strands of hair are sticking to her forehead wet with sweat. Her skin is porcelain white and flushed, and she is more heroic and full of aura.
Li Xu couldn't help saying: "You look more elegant with this outfit."
Daiyu lowered her head and smiled in embarrassment, and Li Xu asked again, "Aren't you hurt?"
Daiyu shook her head, and he said: "If Boy Hang dares to hurt you, I will beat Brother Huang until his ass blooms."
Although these words were not very elegant, it made Daiyu feel very warm.At this time, there was no one else in the main hall, so Daiyu talked to Li Xu about his friendship, and asked him if he could see Lin Ruhai, how was the border town and so on.Li Xu told her that although she had seen him, Lin Ruhai had sent a letter saying that everything was fine with him in Shandong, and told her not to worry.
Now that Gumo Kingdom has been conquered, Daiyu and Zhou Hang have no reason to wait for long.They left [-] soldiers and horses stationed there, and they brought [-] cavalry back to the camp. Naturally, Gumo's princess and little prince also took them back.
On the way, the little prince kept crying, crying so heartbreakingly that his voice was almost hoarse.
Daiyu couldn't hear a child crying the most. Although the crying child was Gumo's prince, and she was regarded as an enemy, but after all, it was only a two-year-old child, so she couldn't help but bear it.So, he ordered someone to bring the little prince to him.The child's hands were tied upside down, and because the binding time was too long, there were deep red marks, and the little face was flushed from crying, and there were tears all over his face. Sobbing and whimpering, flapping of the nostrils, very pitiful.
Seeing that the child was untied from his hands, and hugged and coaxed in his arms in a hurry, Zhou Hang's eyes flickered, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
But Li Xu said: "Yu'er, this is no ordinary child, he is the prince of Gumo." It means to warn him not to get too close to this kid, because most likely he wants to kill the grass, if he shows affection at this time , even more unbearable at that time.
He just said what Zhou Hang wanted to say but couldn't bear to say, Zhou Hang couldn't help but glanced at him.
Daiyu understands the meaning of his words, and she also understands the truth, but——
She said: "I don't care about things in the future. But right now, I can't do it without watching such a big child suffer. Even if you are a prisoner, you should have the right to be respected, even if King Gumo made a thousand mistakes. , he is only a child over two years old, what is wrong with him? I can help for a while, as for life or death in the future, it depends on his fate..."
The little prince was frightened, and timidly huddled in Daiyu's arms, like a frightened little bird, his eyes were red when he looked at others, his eyes were frightening at a young age, but when he looked at Daiyu in the blink of an eye, his eyes turned red again. It's another kind of situation, it's pitiful, attached...
Zhou Hang looked at the kid, who was staring at him fixedly, with hatred in his eyes.
People often think that children are innocent, especially children who are only two or three years old, and they don't understand anything.Little do they know that although children are young, some things are even clearer than adults.Gumo's two or three-year-old little prince seems to know how to use his weakness to win sympathy, and how to do what is best for him.If such a child is not handled properly, it may be detrimental to Daiyu in the future...
Zhou Hang secretly tightened the reins of the horse, thinking that Daiyu should not be too close to him.
It was already the evening of the second day when the victorious troops returned to the Beibei camp full of impassioned emotions.The marshal held a grand welcome ceremony, followed by rewarding the three armies and setting up a banquet. This evening, the soldiers can drink to their heart's content, with enough wine and meat.
At the banquet, the marshal announced Zhou Hang's true identity, and many soldiers realized that the prince Zhou who shared joys and sorrows with them every day turned out to be the current crown prince. They were surprised and proud, and then felt a sense of surrender from the bottom of their hearts. Such a prince who is willing to endure hardships and is willing to understand the situation and share the joys and sorrows with the subordinates is the blessing of the court and the people.
Zhou Hang let go of his courage and courage this day, not only drinking what others offered to him, but also blocking for Daiyu.
In the end, everyone was drinking a little too much, and many people had the courage to come up to him and say that he was not mean enough, and that he was a good brother but had lied to them for so long, and they all wanted to punish him for drinking.He also did not refuse anyone who came, and drank wine like water, and could not remember how many glasses of wine were toasted to him.
In short, in the end, even though Zhou Hang had an amazing drinking capacity, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.
He didn't remember how he got back to his camp. When he woke up the next day, he just felt a pain in his head. He rubbed his temples and walked out. Everyone saluted him and called him His Royal Highness when they saw him. The identity seems to be exposed.
But the battle is over, let's expose it.
Even at this moment, the emperor Lao Tzu sent someone to arrest him, so there is no regret.
He doesn't rely on his status to entrust himself to the big, he still smiles and is polite when he sees everyone, but unexpectedly gains more support.Although the soldiers were very respectful when they saw him, they could not alienate him, and they still got along harmoniously.
During this trip, Li Xu brought a lot of food, grass and cotton clothes. Now the soldiers are well fed and warmly dressed, and feel more comfortable.
Now that the strategic goals have been exceeded, it is impossible for the army to stay in this cold place for a long time.
A few generals were left to guard Mingzhu City, and the marshal planned to take the rest of the soldiers back to the court. Now that it is November, calculate the schedule with your fingers, and if you speed up your pace, you can still go home in time for the New Year.The return journey naturally had to pass through the border town, passing through Shan County, Li Xu has already investigated and found out that the group of masked Taoists who attacked Li Yu and robbed the food and grass, now that the border war is over, Zhou Hang is also planning to take advantage of the return of the army. Went out.So I agreed with Li Xu to take the army to the cave near Shan County, which is the old lair of the masked Taoist.As for the county magistrate of Qiu County and those squires, it only needs a general with a few hundred cavalry to solve the problem.
There is also the training ground hidden in a secret place, which needs to be found out.
The day before departure, Zhou Hang stayed in Daiyu's tent until late at night. The two of them planned in detail, down to which route to take, who would lead the troops in the front and who would be in the back, and who would go in first when they arrived at the cave. How to act, how to arrest people.
As she spoke, Daiyu put down the pen in her hand, went to the couch, and sighed a long time.
Zhou Hang also put down his pen and looked up at her. Seeing her frowning slightly, he walked to her side, moved a small stool and sat down, leaning his elbows on the couch, resting his chin on his hand, and asked, "Why, but Tired? Take a rest when you are tired, I will watch over you..."
Daiyu glanced at him, pursed her lips and said, "I suddenly remembered something..."
"What's the matter?" He retracted his arms, his eyeballs were already glued to her body, and there was a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I was thinking..." Daiyu sat up slowly, her eyes shrinking, "The demon is not a fool, knowing that we will pass through Shan County after our triumph, why didn't he make any preparations?"
"You mean?" Zhou Hang asked, tilting his head.
"If I were that demon, I wouldn't just stay obediently in my old lair and wait for someone to beat me. You said he was seriously injured, and he knew he couldn't beat us, so why didn't he run away early?"
Zhou Hang said: "I have considered this. But no matter what, I have to go and have a look. Even if the demon road escapes, I will also destroy the old lair that he has been running for many years, so that he will not be able to live even if he goes back in the future. And the county magistrate and the squire should be punished..."
Speaking of this, he stopped, with a dignified expression and distant eyes, as if he was recalling something.
After a long while, he said, "From your captivity in Yangzhou City to what happened in the capital, my cousin was attacked while transporting grain and grass, I was attacked while hunting, and the living dead... everything is related to a force behind it. This is not A simple force, what they want to do is to plot rebellion, not only to kill you and me, but also the emperor, and thousands of people... Even if there is only a trace of clues, we must thoroughly investigate to the end."
"It's natural." Daiyu said.
After being busy for several days, Zhou Hang and Daiyu spent very little time together privately. He had no close contact with Daiyu for several days, which made him feel that his whole body was not normal. Her brain is not normal, and her hands are itchy. She always wants to stretch out her paws to touch it, but Daiyu refuses.His so-called close contact is not too much, but he turned into a cat and was hugged by Daiyu, or he turned into a giant cat and hugged Daiyu.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is so easy for a man and a widow to be in the same room, and discussing these issues is a waste of time.
"Yu'er, let's not talk about this, let's go into the space."
"What are you doing in the space?" Daiyu tilted her head slightly, with doubts in her eyes.
Zhou Hang didn't intend to explain, he dragged Daiyu in, and before Daiyu could react, he turned into a giant cat and hugged him.Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then opened her arms and hugged the giant cat's head, giggling.Facing his state, she has always been helpless.
Zhou Hang twitched the beard at the corner of his mouth proudly, flicked his tail left and right slowly, and said, "Come on my back, and I'll take you for a run."
Daiyu really climbed onto his back, grabbed the hair on his neck, and patted his head.
"Let's go, I'm sitting still."
The neck is a sensitive area, the skin is delicate, and the hair there is no better than other places. To be honest, it still hurts, but since Daiyu likes this, well, he can still bear the pain.
"Help it up, don't fall." He reminded him again before he let go of his limbs and started to run.At the beginning, I didn't dare to run too fast, because I was afraid that if Daiyu didn't hold on firmly, she would be thrown off.After jogging for a few hundred meters, he gradually quickened his pace and ran towards a grassy hillside, running faster and faster, bringing gusts of wind.
The ends of Daiyu's hair were blown up, she squinted her eyes and enjoyed sucking in the space mixed with spiritual energy.It's a very fresh smell, better than the smell of water vapor and sunshine after the rain, just like... the smell of dew on the lotus in summer. She likes to collect the morning dew on the lotus to make tea. It is this kind of smell, with a faint and inaudible fragrance when awake, very pleasant.
"Brother Hang, slow down."
After Zhou Hang slowed down, she slowly opened her hands, narrowed her eyes, and let the breeze blow by her side.
"Quicker!"
she asked again.But Zhou Hang was afraid that she would fall, and although he promised well, he didn't run too fast, only a little faster than before.Daiyu was obviously still not satisfied, she pouted and said: "Be faster, there is no wind!"
About to run at the speed of the wind, Zhou Hang couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look at Daiyu.
"Hold my neck tightly, and I'll take you up the mountain as fast as I can."
