Zheng Quchi glanced at the reference objects around him, such as flags and leaves, and judged that the blow was from the west to the north and south. Therefore, the hot and red fire in the city was cut off by an invisible blade when it reached the west gate. , with clear latitude and longitude, and no border crossing.
But she guessed that once the wind changed in no more than a quarter of an hour, this area would be dangerous.
Therefore, "time" has become the key to strive for.
She looked at Yu Wensheng and nodded: "Okay, let's go."
She took the initiative to take the other person's hand without waiting for him to hold it, as if she had turned herself into a soft rope, entwining Yu Wensheng's dangerous and murderous hands, and not allowing him to wield the sword to kill at will.
Yu Wensheng didn't notice anything else. Seeing her taking such initiative, his arms trembled slightly.
He never knew that he also had the emotion of "worry".
However, he did think about it troubledly.
When she found out that "Liu Fengmian" and "Yu Wensheng" were the same person, what was she thinking?
What should he do if she is afraid of him, avoids him, rejects him, or even hates him because of what she did in Tianqian?
The answer is, he doesn't know.
When life and death, the easiest way to solve problems, could not be applied to Zheng Quchi, he was at a loss.
He didn't know what he should do to make Zheng Quchi treat him well and smile at him as always.
Therefore, although it was not visible on the surface, when he realized that she appeared actively, the caution, cautious worry, and tentative approach hidden in his heart gradually melted away as a piece of ice erected to protect himself from harm.
The floating spring water caressed the soul in the depths of the sea, giving his evil and cold eyes, like the clean spring green, a human warmth.
He took it for granted that he didn't force her, she took the initiative to approach him, so...has she accepted his true identity as "Yu Wensheng"?
Fortunately, he did the right thing.
He knew that she was different from him.
She has the most sincere and passionate heart, and looks at everything. I thought it was because her living space was narrow and peaceful, and she did not see the darkness and pain of the world. However, she has multiple identities and has experienced many things.
But she still couldn't bear to see the injustice in the world, couldn't bear to see the innocent people dying in vain, couldn't bear to see her own unsatisfactory life, and couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world.
Wei Yao brought a strong brown horse, not daring to look at Zheng Quchi anymore, bowed and retreated.
"good."
After Yu Wensheng hugged her waist and put Zheng Quchi on the horse, he stepped on the stirrups and sat astride it. Their backs and chests were close to each other. Her sweaty back inevitably leaned into his cold and refreshing chest. This indescribable feeling of intimacy was so intense that The male hormones surrounded him, making Zheng Quchi stiffen up.
In the past, when others took her on horseback, they always asked her to sit in the back, just like carrying cargo. Even if the two of them were close to each other, she didn't think much about it, but now this posture and position is quite explosive.
Wei Yao, Wang Zebang and others also mounted their horses and followed him.
Yu Wensheng raised his eyes and looked at Mo Ye leading his team in front of him to gather together, forming a bright red "red river" to block the road, while he kept staring at Zheng Quchi with a strange and suspicious expression.
"drive!"
With a clear shout, the horses galloped across the sea like a corvette, leading the way with overwhelming momentum.
Mo Ye could feel its sharp edge when he came face to face, and the Julu soldiers stationed there were breathing heavily and their hands and feet were numb. However, the main army had no orders, and they could neither attack nor retreat.
Just when the two sides were about to collide, Mo Ye was angry, but he still had to hold back his temper and put the overall situation first.
"Back!" He raised his arm and made a heavy stroke downwards.
This word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, with a strong feeling of unwillingness and resentment.
The giant deer army rumbled and moved, stiff and angry, allowing it to be arrogant and wild, passing by with an attitude of absolute victory.
Soldiers from the Ye Kingdom continued to merge into the rear of the cavalry from the alleys, streets, eaves, and city lord's mansions, swaggering into a long, dark black dragon with a long spine, moving away with great ambition.
After Commander Ye's army evacuated Fenggu Shacheng from the west city gate, Mo Ye's face turned dark and his whole body was shaking with anger. But even though he hated Yu Wensheng in his heart and wanted to die, he understood that even if he didn't give in, He can't defeat the opponent either.
It's not that Yu Wensheng couldn't destroy him along with Fenggu Shacheng, but he probably stopped midway when he raised his sword.
And he also had more important things to deal with. Fenggu Shacheng suffered a disaster because of him, and he had the obligation and responsibility to save people. He put down all his grudges and immediately organized the army and the people to put out the fire.
They tried their best to save the damage caused by Fenggu Shacheng and tried their best to preserve the remaining parts of it so that the people in the city would not be completely displaced.
Mo Ye smiled evilly and said as if he was making a vow: "Yu Wensheng... we have a long way to go!"
Among the fire-fighting team, there was also a group of people who quietly mingled with the people in distress and climbed up the tower by using the action of putting out the fire. They stared silently at the back of Ye Jun leaving in the waves of dust and smoke.
Xiao Meng bit his lower lip and said in anger and shock: "Sister Chizi, it turns out...she has been lying to us."
Gongchenya was expressionless: "Why is it her?"
"Fortunately, it's her. I noticed that this woman's facial features are normal and she's not evil. If she hadn't appeared in time to stop Yu Wensheng's crazy behavior, I'm afraid none of us here would be alive." Aunt Mei said Knowing Gongchenya's little thoughts, he persuaded him.
The young man was at the age where he knew Mu Shaoai, but fortunately, the two of them had only been together for a short time, and there were some messy things that were easy to break up.
Gongchenya couldn't understand, he said: "She is so good, why did she marry such a cruel person? It was definitely Yu Wensheng who forced her. She wanted to escape. If it wasn't to save the people in the city, she would not have done it. He won’t come back.”
Seeing that Gongchenya was caught up in his own obsession, Uncle Bai frowned and said: "Whether it is true or not, she is already Yu Wensheng's, unless there is someone who is more powerful than Yu Wensheng and has a lot of troops. , otherwise she will never belong to anyone else again."
"Really? As long as she is more powerful than Yu Wensheng, she can be freed." Gongchenya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bright and firm.
He said that if he could survive this time, he would definitely go find her.
And he is a man who always keeps his promises.
Others talked about another thing: "We have quietly hidden Uncle Yang's body. Let's bury it after Mo Ye and the others leave the city."
"There is nothing we can do about not being able to rescue him this time, Ya'er, you don't have to blame yourself." Aunt Mei sighed.
When Yang Gu was mentioned, Gongchenya's face instantly turned pale.
"Uncle Yang once told me that he has been fighting on the border for many years, winning and losing, but he is getting older year by year. Although he has more experience, his body will weaken year by year. If one day, he He was captured by the enemy, and instead of suffering all the humiliation, he just wanted to die..."
They listened to Gongchenya's words quietly and understood his mood when he took action.
"I know that he would rather die in battle than surrender to Yu Wensheng and betray Julu. I want to rescue him, but I can't, so let's just pretend that Yu Wensheng killed him and preserve his wise life. He died gloriously in order to protect Fenggu Shacheng and resist the invasion of foreign enemies."
Hearing this, they glanced at Gongchenya in surprise, but saw that he was uncontrollably sad and his golden appearance made people feel distressed.
"we know."
——
After leaving Fenggu Shacheng, Zheng Quchi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although she doesn't understand war or politics, she knows that massacres have been inhumane acts since ancient times, and once a war breaks out, it will always be the lowest and most powerless people who suffer.
She felt deeply about this.
She will not interfere with Yu Wensheng's military strategy or policy struggles outside. She is self-aware and will not get involved in things she does not understand. There is a saying that in troubled times, kill the Holy Mother first.
Although she has developed a moral conscience in peaceful times, she has not yet reached the point of rescuing people when she sees them or carrying them when trouble comes. She has positioned herself very accurately.
Sitting on the horseback, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles because the presence of the man behind her was so strong that she felt uncomfortable as soon as she became aware of him.
Yu Wensheng was not in a hurry. He seemed to be waiting for something. He was not in a hurry along the way, and he still had time to talk to Zheng Quchi: "Quchi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
She kept moving, leaning forward when he came closer, and arching her back when he stepped back. Judging from her body language, she felt uncomfortable at the moment.
"No……"
"Does your injury still hurt? If you feel tired from the journey, you can rest on me instead of holding on."
His voice was extremely gentle and low-pitched, like a deliberately dropped hook. The topics he actively created by dragging parents along seemed stiff and unfamiliar, not like his usual way of speaking.
He thought that Zheng Quchi would like a considerate, gentle and attentive man, and he was deliberately imitating this type of person.
And the only person of this kind he knew was Liu Fengmian.
Liu Fengmian was a romantic man by nature, and he treated his lovers and concubines with eloquent words, as if they were all so kind and indifferent to each other.
However, in exchange, Zheng Quchi said awkwardly: "I want to go to the hut."
"..."
——
In this wilderness, naturally no one would be free to build a hut, so passers-by would just do it anywhere.
But Zheng Quchi was a girl, so naturally she couldn't defecate anywhere like these men. She had to first find a hidden and uninhabited place... dig a hole, and then defecate anywhere.
Don't blame her for not being hygienic. Isn't she forced to do this by the simple and primitive environment?
After leaving Yu Wensheng's sight, Zheng Quchi relaxed.
Help, she doesn't know how to get along with him now. When she thinks that he is Yu Wensheng, the "living Yama" of Ye country, she resists with all her heart.
Instead of staying with him so awkwardly and nervously, she might as well run away.
But when she thought about it again, she felt that her thoughts were just wishful thinking.
Can she outrun the four-legged rider with two legs? Therefore, the escape route is simply not feasible.
What's more, she still wants to go home and see her family.
Otherwise, she should be brave and file for divorce with him directly.
As long as she reasons with him and makes him understand that she is by no means a qualified and ideal marriage partner, she believes that he will eventually be able to agree with her point of view and happily sign the divorce agreement.
Yes, for a rich and handsome man like Yu Wensheng to marry a poor peasant girl like her is definitely just a moment of confusion. Maybe he is still hesitating in his heart about how to get rid of her entanglement.
Otherwise, why had he refused to reveal his true identity to her in the first place?
He has always chosen to get along with her under a false identity. Isn't this just because he thought that he would have a way out in the future?
But now, it was she who came to his door, forcing him to admit her identity in public. In fact, he was definitely not happy in his heart to let a person of low status like her occupy his precious status as a general's wife.
Yes, that should be it.
Zheng Quchi pinched his head and tail, ignored the process, and directly convinced himself in a brainwashing way, and decided that his idea was correct.
She was mentally prepared, and she was actively and contentedly planning to go to Yu Wensheng to discuss reconciliation with herself.
However, as soon as he passed by, he saw Yu Wensheng discussing something with others, also looking happy.
When he is happy, his expression is different from the happy expression of ordinary people. Although he can also smile, his expression is like a thin layer of scarlet light, with a certain cruel meaning, his lips are red and his teeth are white.
She paused for a moment, her steps faltered.
"Quchi, come here."
Yu Wensheng saw her.
"Uh, um, general, I actually have something to discuss with you..."
He interrupted her: "There's no rush."
No, I'm quite anxious. I'm so anxious that if I don't mention it now, I might be restless and uncomfortable all the time.
"Why?" She now had a stress reaction to the word "not urgent".
"What's the matter? I'll listen to you slowly later, but now, I'll take you to get revenge first." Although his dark and gloomy eyes were wrapped in a smile, they still couldn't hide the darkness and horror in their depths.
"ha?"
While Zheng Quchi looked confused and puzzled, Ye Jun changed his previous slow schedule and began to speed up with purpose and plan, heading somewhere.
Finally, they came to a place surrounded by undulating hillsides, surrounded by a relatively flat basin in the center. Looking down from the hillside, there was a nomadic tribe camping there.
There are brightly colored tents and herds of cattle and sheep. The tribesmen may have sensed something was wrong and sensed the approaching danger. At this moment, they were holding their lambs and riding horses, planning to relocate.
But they didn't know that the entrance and exit of the basin had long been blocked by Yu Wensheng's people, and they were destined to be unable to escape.
Zheng Quchi quickly figured out that this, this is... the tribe of Manzi?
At the mention of Manzi, her eyebrows frowned reflexively.
She was a carefree person and had never held grudges, but these barbarians made her feel deeply disgusted for the first time.
She sincerely hated the barbaric and greedy plundering behavior of these people, and all the vaguely painful scars on her body were all caused by them.
Because these barbarians often do not engage in human affairs, they are cautious and cunning by nature. In addition, they often need to move to herd cattle and sheep. Therefore, the tribe's camping locations have always been hidden and erratic, making it difficult for people from the Central Plains countries to catch them.
But this time, they were found in advance by Yu Wensheng.
Zheng Quchi didn't know how much energy and effort was spent on this, but she believed it was definitely a lot.
Jing was not satisfied with the previous chapter, so she overhauled it. If you feel that the contents of the two chapters are not connected, you can refresh and read it again.
