129 Chapter 129
The stars were dim, and there was only one waning moon, which was not too big, hanging in the middle of the sky, barely illuminating the road ahead.
There was a pungent smell of blood floating in the air late at night, and an unstoppable smell of gunpowder wafted in from outside the city with the wind. Accompanied by the sound of drums beating and metal clanging and weapons clanging and colliding, one's footsteps were a little vain, as if there was a cloud of darkness all around. Unreal scene.
The city also began to be restless, and every household closed their doors tightly to avoid harming the fish in the pond, but the whispers spread wantonly in the night, and the gloomy dark clouds in the sky piled up into overwhelming despair, sinking heavily on people's hearts.
I don't know how long I have been running, but luckily the city gate is far away, quietly hidden in the night, like a dormant giant standing upright.
As if seeing the dawn suddenly in the dark night after a long time, she quickly lifted the hem of her clothes and ran over at a faster pace, but she heard the sound of chasing soldiers rubbing against the ground, which seemed to come suddenly, beating on her heart in quick bursts.
"I found someone, follow me to catch her!"
"There she is, we must capture her this time!"
The shouting sound suddenly penetrated into the ears, and it seemed sharp and undulating in the wind. A Sheng suddenly panicked and didn't choose his way. Seeing that the city gate was closed, he immediately ran up the tower without thinking.
She glanced back hastily, and saw that the group of bright torches were getting closer and closer to her, and she could even gradually see the stubbled face of the leading officer, excited as if seeing a desperate prey.
"Stop, where else can you go!"
A Sheng trembled all over with anxiety, his mind suddenly went blank.
Just at this moment, several clear and high-spirited horse neighs suddenly cut through the night sky, and the spirit was like the clouds and sails breaking the waves in the vast sea, and it seemed to be an announcement that remained motionless in the strong wind.
"Ma'am, jump down!" A familiar voice sounded, eager but powerful.
Her wrinkled heart seemed to be soothed by something inexplicably, and her breathing stopped suddenly. She couldn't help but clutched the clothes on her chest, looked down the tower in the direction of the source of the sound, and saw him.
he came.
The claw yellow fly is white all over, shining like a shining pearl in the night, followed by a group of heavily armed soldiers and horses, and the military flag with the word "Cao" printed on it is hunting and dancing in the wind.
Someone behind her had already caught up and tried to grab her skirt. Before she had time to think, she pulled out the hairpin from the hairpin and ran across the thin black dress. The moment he reacted, he immediately jumped down the city.
The whistling wind in her ears disturbed her nerves, she closed her eyes, and after counting silently for a few seconds, she fell into a strong embrace as expected.
Opening her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes that were still bright even in the dark, like a drop of thick ink that hadn't dispersed. She couldn't help smiling with the corners of her mouth raised: "I almost thought you wouldn't come."
"What did Madam say?" He also laughed, holding her hand to reassure him, "Ms. Jiang Shan and Bian Sheng, I want both."
"...Does it hurt?" The hand touched the wound of her severed finger unconsciously, and Ah Sheng could not help but take a breath and shrink back.He lowered his head and took her left hand in his hands, his eyes were covered with a layer of gloomy mist and pity, "I will definitely make him regret it."
As he said that, he suddenly drew his sword, and with a "snap", he had to push aside the arrows flying down from the city tower, turned his horse's head and galloped all the way south.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the wind passed by quickly, and finally stopped the horse in front of a large camp.
"This is my barracks, and you will be safe from now on." She jumped off the saddle, and heard his soft voice, "Go in and rest first, I have something important to do, and the relationship between Yuan Benchu and Yuan Benchu must be settled." It has to be settled."
Ah Sheng knew that this opportunity must be lost, so he nodded in response: "Okay."
"Ma'am, you are too thinly dressed." He took off the cloak on his body, and tied it on her.
A Sheng accepted his concern quietly, grabbed the knot tied around his neck, and looked up at him: "Be careful in everything."
The tent was so quiet that there was only the echo of the wind, only a figure standing not far away in the corner seemed to be lighting a candle.
The blue shirt reflected in the flickering corner of the candle became more and more clear, like a distant daisy blocked by a large cloud of mist, but still standing tall and straight, far away.
"Ms. Bian?" Just as she walked over lightly, Guo Jia called out suddenly, which surprised her and stopped where she was: "How did Guo Jijiu know it was me?"
At this time, he turned around, with a smile in his clear eyes: "My lord's claw, Huang Feidian, never sits on outsiders."
After a long time no see, he looked even thinner, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, like the barely clear moonlight above his head.
She felt sore, and was not in the mood to answer his joke for the time being, when Guo Jia took the lead and asked, "Did Mrs. Bian see Mr. Xun Chen?"
Not only seeing it, but also thanks to him to escape from the tiger's mouth.
"I've met him several times, but the person who can make Guo Jijiu never forget is really a strange man."
"Can Jia take the liberty to ask, how does Xun Youru evaluate Jia?" He blinked, his eyes seemed to hide twinkling stars, and he looked at her with a smile expectantly.
"You might as well take a guess."
"Jiachai," Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his green shirt were blown high by the sudden wind, making him look more fragile but flying like a butterfly in spring, "Jia must not have been scolded by him. , but it must not be a good word, at least in his eyes... ahem."
His body was already very weak, and he covered his mouth and coughed without saying a few words, so thin that it seemed that the wind could easily break his butterfly wings.
She couldn't bear to say: "Sit down first, or I'll call the accompanying military doctor to take a look. Although their medical skills are not as good as Mr. Hua's, they can always do something."
He shook his head, but then he sat down obediently with his support on the table. When he sat down and retracted his hand, Ah Sheng accidentally glanced at it and saw the obvious scarlet liquid on the table, but he quickly wiped it with the inside of his sleeve. went.
Witnessing all this, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't understand his thoughts.
Instead of exposing him explicitly, she said sullenly: "Take care of your health, Xun Chen said that you are the best conspirator he has ever seen, so you have to take care of yourself."
"Madam Bian, don't worry, Jia is the one who cherishes his life the most. He even gave up his favorite drink in the past. But You Ruo would not comment on Jia like this. In his eyes, no one can compare to Ling Jun."
A Sheng was stunned for half a second when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look at his pair of eyes that were so clear, they were as clean as a piece of white paper that could be stained with the mortal world at any time, yet could understand all the secrets of the mortal world.
To say that he is a heavenly immortal who has been in Penglai Yingzhou for a long time is boring, and it is not necessarily all a lie to pass the time by accident, but it is a pity that this immortal forgot to bring the elixir, which led to his current light body.
"You are so clever. If I were Yuan Shao, I would have to sleep all night because of your enemy, Guo Jijiu." A Sheng admired him sincerely.
Guo Jia smiled lightly, with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his eyebrows, he suddenly turned sideways to look at the distant sky, as if he had discovered something.
"He was too late," Guo Jia said. "He will never have a night like this again."
A Sheng didn't understand what he meant, "You might as well explain clearly about offering wine."
"Tomorrow at this time, Yuan Benchu, who was once feared by everyone in the world, probably no longer exists in this world." His tone was calm, completely opposite to the prediction in his mouth.
"You mean..."
"Yes." Guo Jia nodded succinctly, "He won't survive the early hours of tomorrow."
In the seventh year of Jian'an, after the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao became ill and died a few days later. The battle ended with Cao Cao's complete victory.
Yuan Shao's two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, both wanted to fight for the throne, and they fought against each other in the same room. Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's plan to stay still and slowly figured it out, and watched the changes quietly to reap the benefits.
Sure enough, the two fell into a trick, and even though the foreign aggression was put aside, the brothers quickly fought against the wall and started a dispute again. The tiger and leopard cavalry seized the opportunity and were defeated.
Cao Jun has since entered Jizhou, which has no owner. After settling down, the officials hurriedly registered the number of households to appease the people. , it seems that the change of ruler has not affected them in any way.
"Look, Zihuan, the marriage customs of Jizhou people are very similar to ours."
Two horses passed side by side on the street, and the man in brown clothes on one of the horses saw a family welcoming the bride not far away, and the musicians in red wedding clothes were beating gongs and drums, escorting the beaming groom all the way, and he couldn't help being excited Pointing at them vigorously with a whip, he tilted his head and smiled at Cao Pi.
Cao Pi beside him couldn't help but glanced at it, and then laughed disapprovingly: "Zidan, you are really making a fuss. Although Jizhou belongs to Hebei, it is the land of the Central Plains after all, and it is normal for customs to be similar."
"Hey," Cao Zhen nodded when he heard the words, and then he seemed to have discovered something new and amazing, and shouted again on the spot, "Isn't that the son of Cui Biejia's family? Could it be that he is getting married today, and we also go to ask for a wedding candy Make a good fortune."
Cao Pi looked in the direction he pointed, but found that the crowd was crowded, and the gongs and drums were so loud that he couldn't recognize who was who at once. It's not like you haven't seen someone marry a wife before, why bother to join in the fun, hurry back..."
The urging voice stopped abruptly, and Cao Pi suddenly closed his mouth for some reason.
Cao Zhen didn't know why, so he turned to look at him suspiciously: "Zihuan...?"
At this time, he found that his clan brother's eyes were shining with a strange brilliance, and he didn't know where he was staring.The originally stern eyebrows suddenly softened a lot, and the whole person seemed to be on fire with excitement, which was a very different enthusiasm from Shicai.
He couldn't help but opened his mouth strangely to ask what's the matter, but was interrupted by Cao Pi immediately, his eyes still looking into the distance: "Zidan, actually... I think it's good to join in the fun, how about it, you go and report it first Father, I am afraid that I will be scolded if I go back late."
"I don't want to do this loss-making business. If you want to go back, we will go together. Why do you want me to support you alone?" Cao Zhen curled his lips, and couldn't figure out what new discovery he had made, and he seemed out of his mind.
"Oh, you go back first, I will give you the Qingfeng sword tomorrow, is this the head office?"
Cao Zhen was immediately overjoyed. He coveted the sword for a long time and he was not willing to give it to himself. Why is he so happy today?
However, under the heavy reward, he was unwilling to investigate the reason, so he cupped his fists and said goodbye immediately: "Then I'll go first, a gentleman can't follow his words, Zihuan, you can be a man who stands up to what he says and does what he says!"
Before leaving, he reassured him several times, and Cao Pi impatiently agreed one by one before driving away, humming a tune and walking away contentedly.
"Girl, do you still remember me?" Seeing that his clan brother had disappeared, Cao Pi immediately called out to a woman beside the road.
His voice was so loud that many young women around him couldn't help but look up at him, and found that it was a young man in fine clothes sitting on a horse.
Looking at his attire, one could guess that his status was either rich or noble, and his appearance was also rare to see handsome and elegant. They all couldn't help but put aside their reserve and looked at him a few more times.
However, the woman he wanted to call just now didn't seem to be interested in him, she just stared at the potholes on the road, while concentrating on driving her own way.
"I know you, I've seen you before!" Cao Pi yelled in surprise, regardless of her neglect.
He couldn't wait to gallop his horse to stop in front of her, and then quickly rolled off the saddle. Afraid that he would appear too abrupt, he showed a reserved and polite smile, "Girl, do you remember, I happened to help you that time, But I haven't had time to ask your name yet."
Hearing this, she was obviously stunned for a while, but she lowered her head under the gaze of the burning eyes in front of her, not sure if it was out of embarrassment.
The aristocratic young man in front of him was full of smiles, and he was wearing a black robe with a dragon pattern on his body, with a young and enthusiastic aura rushing towards his face.At this moment, it was like the hottest wind in midsummer mixed with a slight chill blowing across his cheeks, and he could still smell the unique fragrance of Moon Lin on his body.
However, she seemed unwilling to look at his face, without saying a word, turned around and wanted to leave in a hurry, but before he could react, her footsteps blinked so quickly that she was submerged in the crowd.
Cao Pi suddenly became anxious, and couldn't help shouting at her back: "Girl, don't you remember me?"
It's a pity that the vast crowd was full of noise, which quickly covered his voice, and I don't know if she heard it clearly.
After a while, she disappeared, as if she had never appeared in front of him.
