That person turned out to be - Shen Lang!
Seeing that familiar figure in the distance, for some reason, the fear in my heart not only did not dissipate, but instead came to my mind clearly bit by bit, as if my whole person was trapped in some kind of unreal world. In this situation, it was like waking up from a dream until this moment.
For a moment, I felt that my legs were gradually getting weak, and my hands and feet could not stop shaking.
For a moment, Liu Yingying remembered the day when Hanshan Temple was attacked. The wind on the cliff that night was bitterly cold, and Shen Lang fell from the sky that night like he did today, like a god descending.
The fear was infinitely great at this moment, but at the next moment, it dissipated bit by bit like a miraculous thing.
The cold and coagulated blood all over his body warmed up bit by bit, and even his eyes filled with tears.
Seeing that figure, for some reason, even though she was in troubled times, she no longer showed any fear.
She watched the Mana man roaring towards her, getting closer and closer. His sharp eyes like an eagle were fixed on her face. She thought he would stop beside her, but instead he saw him. Shen Lang's speed did not slow down, he directly rode his horse and jumped forward. Then, a burst of neighing sounded behind him. Shen Lang pulled out the spear on the carriage and directly pierced the heart with an arrow, killing the remaining two rebels with one spear. pierce.
Eight people fell to the ground together.
"Young Master, King Pingnan has rebelled——"
The driver, who was covered in blood, knelt down on one knee and complained to Shen Lang. However, Shen Lang turned a deaf ear and directly reined in the horse's rope. He turned around and arrived in front of Liu Yingying. He didn't even dismount, but was on the horse's back. He bent over and hugged Liu Yingying's waist with one hand. Before Liu Yingying could recover, she was grabbed by him and pulled onto the horse's back, sitting in front of him, and then, Shen Lang clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and Shen Lang roared away with Liu Yingying on his back.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, without even a single word, like a dream.
However, unexpectedly, just after running for a moment, she suddenly heard the ground behind her shaking. Thousands of cavalry came rushing in. The enemy troops roared and chased after her. Liu Yingying, who was huddled in Shen Lang's arms, was like a dream. When he first woke up, he grabbed Shen Lang tightly and said, "Yao Yao, my mother——"
Shen Lang suddenly reined in the horse's rope and stopped, turned the horse's head, and saw the driver protecting Wu and Yaoyao, retreating bit by bit. On the opposite side, a hundred steps away, the cavalry was pressing down. Come under pressure.
When Liu Yingying saw this, her face immediately turned pale.
Seeing this, Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and tightened his jaw. After a while, he was about to turn over and dismount, but at this moment, Liu Yingying suddenly grabbed his hand and held it tightly, with long nails. After pinching into his flesh, Shen Lang suddenly and violently lifted Liu Yingying's chin, lowered his head and pressed it on her mouth, and said word by word: "If I die, remember to do it for me - —”
Halfway through the words, Shen Lang suddenly let go of Liu Yingying, turned around and shouted: "Wu Yong!"
"Ximen, get out of the city!"
As soon as she finished speaking, by the time Liu Yingying came to her senses, Shen Lang had already stood up and dismounted.
Wu Yong appeared out of nowhere, took Shen Lang's place, and was about to run away with Liu Yingying on his back.
After realizing the other party's move, Liu Yingying quickly followed up with her hands, but she saw that her thigh had been locked tightly to the saddle by a piece of leather at some point. Liu Yingying was unable to move for a moment. She finally tried her best to unlock the lock and spoke with her mouth. Whimpering: "Put me down——"
But he saw that Wu Yong ignored him, turned his horse's head and ran away.
Before leaving, Liu Yingying saw Shen Lang walking alone towards the enemy.
Her ears only kept buzzing with the words Shen Lang left in front of her ears: "Remember to mourn for me."
Chapter 159
That day, Liu Yingying was chased by more than ten soldiers by Wu Yong and successfully escaped from the west city gate. The city gate was firmly closed the moment they rode out, trapping the pursuers and the entire Qingyuan City. Everyone was surrounded by the four city gates.
The people in the entire city, including everyone in the Shen family, have become turtles in a urn, ready to be mermaids.
King Pingnan has been on the battlefield for more than thirty years, and his achievements are almost unparalleled in the court. Even Shen Bin, the king of the Northwest War, is just a rising star to him.
The Prince of Pingnan is very ambitious. After the crown prince left to the west, the entire throne has been divided equally between him and half of the throne. Now Prince Zong, who is most likely to ascend the throne, was assassinated by Shen Lang. For the public, his seat as "the Supreme Emperor" is not guaranteed, and for private, He also became enemies with Shen Lang, but this time he was forced to the top of Liangshan Mountain. He had no choice but to rebel.
Therefore, a few days ago, King Pingnan led a thousand cavalry all the way south with the intention of personally escorting the prince's body back to the southern territory of the fiefdom. However, he stayed in the neighboring city of Qingyuan City for three full days. Soon, the old troops of the southern territory led 3,000 cavalry. Ma personally rushed to greet him, but he didn't expect that he actually dared to attack the city with a mere four thousand soldiers and horses.
Although the Shen family had already set up defenses, and although Shen Bin was the commander-in-chief, the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the northwest were all in the northwest. When he returned to Qingyuan this time, he only brought a thousand personal soldiers with him. Now, the Shen family has government soldiers. Eight hundred, one thousand private guards, plus the one thousand personal soldiers brought back by Shen Bin, were obviously no match for the four thousand cavalry of Prince Pingnan's palace.
However, although the Shen family does not have the position of commanding the army in Qingyuan City, there are 30,000 city guards in Luohe, 600 miles away. The leader is Shen Bin's old army. This time, reinforcements from Qingyuan were only two days old. It only takes two days to mobilize troops and generals to encircle and suppress Prince Pingnan's family.
As a result, a city battle began directly in Qingyuan City, with the moat as the boundary. The Shen family defended the south city, and the Pingnan Palace attacked the north city. The two sides separated for two full days, and the city was completely destroyed. Two days later, reinforcements from Luohe arrived, but they did not Unexpectedly, the Luohe city defenders had betrayed the Shen family to the enemy Pingnan Palace. All three thousand soldiers and horses of the Shen family were wiped out, and the entire Shen family's old residence was burned to ashes overnight.
One day in the city of Qingyuan and one year outside the city.
Liu Yingying was placed in a village at the foot of Hanshan Temple by Wu Yong. There was a thatched cottage here, nestled against the mountain, hidden and left behind.
The safest place.
The village has been searched by two groups of people, holding portraits, and each one is of the fugitive Shen Jiaerlang.
Prince Pingnan's Mansion has conquered Qingyuan City and ordered the capture of the escaped rebel Shen family for half a month.
When Liu Yingying was just sent to the thatched cottage, her body was already red.
Wu Yong invited an old man from the corner of the village to nurse her back to health for half a month in a thatched hut. Except for going to the mountains to collect medicine and foraging for food at the foot of the mountains, Wu Yong almost stayed with her the rest of the time. He wore a bamboo hat every day when he went out, and was extremely vigilant. Wan stayed outside Liu Yingying's thatched cottage to protect her.
For half a month, Liu Yingying closed her eyes and listened, not crying, making trouble, or even saying a word.
Just because she knew that in that situation that day, it would be difficult for her mother, Yaoyao, and even Shen Lang to——
Just because she knew that Wu Yong didn't know much more than she did.
I just feel that everything is like a dream. From the time I was redeemed by the Liu family, from the time I traveled thousands of miles to come to the Shen family, and the few months in the Shen family, everything is so unreal.
Sometimes, as soon as she opens her eyes, Liu Yingying can't tell whether she is in reality or living in a dream.
It turns out that people can really drain away all their energy and energy in an instant.
"Miss Liu, please have some food!"
When Wu Yong came in to clean up the dishes, as expected, he saw that the porridge in the dishes had not been touched at all. For a long time, he only said in a deep voice: "At least, I should do more for the sake of the little master in my belly." Eat some."
With that said, he picked up the porridge and said, "My subordinate, go and heat it up."
After a pause, he added: "If it doesn't suit the girl's taste, after the news calms down, I will go down the mountain and ask the villagers to make some home-cooked dishes for the girl."
After saying that, after taking a fixed look at the motionless figure on the bed, Wu Yong picked up the food and strode out.
After walking almost to the door, Liu Yingying finally spoke, but her throat was hoarse: "Bring it here."
He hasn't spoken a word for more than half a month.
Now when Leng Buding opened his mouth, for a moment, his mouth and tongue felt numb and clumsy, and even his words became hoarse and muffled.
Liu Yingying's voice was low and weak.
Wu Yong was overjoyed after hearing this and immediately said: "Girl, wait a moment, my subordinates will come as soon as they go."
After saying that, Wu Yong immediately took the porridge and went outside to warm it up. He also lost some tea and washed some wild fruits, and then brought it over again.
When she entered the room, Liu Yingying had already sat up from the bed. She was unsteady that day, so the old doctor prescribed her a pregnancy-preserving medicine. He only said that she had a strong belly and could withstand the torment. If she was delayed for a while, , I'm afraid even the Daluo Immortal can't save it.
Liu Yingying stayed in bed for half a month without moving for a moment. When she got up this time, she saw that she had lost a lot of weight. She originally had a plump body, her face and body were not skinny, but now she looked coldly at her chin. It's sharp, and the face is a big circle smaller.
There was always a trace of innocence on his face.
The porridge was tasteless, coupled with the long-term inability to eat and severe morning sickness, her stomach started churning almost as soon as the porridge entered her mouth. However, Liu Yingying endured the nausea and continued to eat. The porridge combined with the gastric juice was swallowed raw in one mouthful.
She was escorted out by him risking her life. What right did she have to trample on this life that was given in vain?
After pouring a whole bowl of porridge, Liu Yingying finally stood up slowly and said to Wu Yong calmly and calmly: "Wu Weiwei, I want to take a walk down the mountain."
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said in a deep voice: "Girl, no, it's not clear what the situation is outside now. The young master ordered his subordinates to watch the girl and protect her. Zhou Quan, if the danger ahead is relieved, the young master will personally come to take the girl back to the city, and the girl will forgive me for not obeying my order!"
Wu Yong stood firmly in front of Liu Yingying and refused to give in.
But Liu Yingying looked out the window, looking at the lush greenery outside, and said, "What if he doesn't come?"
When Wu Yong heard this, he immediately pursed his lips, his face was solemn for no reason, and for a long time, he said word by word: "The subordinate will stay here until the young master is born, and continue to serve the young master."
Wu Yong gritted his teeth every word, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his face sideways.
When Liu Yingying heard this, the corners of her eyes gradually warmed up. After a while, she put away the sadness and paleness on her face, and said softly, "I'll just walk in the forest and not go down the mountain."
Wu Yong was worried about Liu Yingying's emotional instability. Seeing this, he hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
Liu Yingying put on her robe and walked slowly towards the forest.
Hundreds of steps away from the mountain, there is a rocky place where villagers cutting firewood would pass by at this time every day. Wu Yong was worried at first and prepared to go and drive them away, but he gave up after realizing that they were not malicious.
While recuperating, Liu Yingying could occasionally hear their shouts on the mountain.
That day she walked slowly over and waited for a while on the path. Sure enough, not long after, three or four villagers collecting firewood happened to pass by here carrying bamboo baskets and took a rest on the rocks.
During the chat, I could only hear a few people talking: "Hey, have you heard that the Shen family in the West Village was taken away by the officers and soldiers because they had the same surname? The officers and soldiers came to the village to search for three people. He came back and made the whole village panic. When will this day end? Although something happened to the Shen family, not everyone with the surname Shen in the world is his Shen family. "
As he said that, the man remembered something, and suddenly looked around furtively, and then lowered his voice and said, "Do you think the Shen family is really rebelling? I heard that they actually colluded with that Mi from Xiliang The family rebelled, and I heard they dared to kidnap that person——"
The man pointed towards the sky, then shrank his head, and said regretfully: "If this is really going to be like this, then he deserves to be wiped out now. But, tsk tsk, you say, the Shen family is already dead. We, the local emperor of Qingyuan City, are still so dissatisfied and want to raise an army to rebel!"
The man said with a puzzled look on his face.
An older man opposite pinched his beard and said: "How can such a rich man complain about having too much money? Of course, no one who is an official complains about the bigness of an official. However, the Shen family has been entrenched in Qingyuan City for hundreds of years. They are not those village tyrants and rural tyrants who do all kinds of evil. They repair Hanshan Temple every year and distribute sacrifices to the poor down the mountain. I don't think they look like those rebellious and rebellious people. However, After all, ordinary people like us understand the affairs of the officialdom. I just feel it is a pity. Two months ago, I went to the mountain temple to deliver some fruits. I had the chance to see the Shen family's grace. Tsk, tsk, Everyone is a generation of dragons and phoenixes, especially the eldest son of the Shen family. I heard that he has been practicing in the temple for several years, just like an immortal descended from the gods. But now he doesn't know what is hanging on the city gate. Is he among the dozens of heads——"
The older man pinched his beard and sighed.
When the young man heard this, he shuddered and said, "I heard that the heads were still bleeding from their orifices when they were hung up. Their eyes widened and they refused to rest in peace. There is no blood under the city wall so far. After doing this, the people who entered and exited the city gate all turned pale with fear and did not dare to look above their heads. By the way, some people also heard that there were bursts of crying sounds coming from the city wall at night. Do you think it was right? It’s because no one has dared to restrain those corpses and the evil aura is too strong——”
Several people were chatting happily on the rocks.
After chatting, the elder stood up and led a few people down the mountain.
As soon as they left, Liu Yingying swayed and almost fell down, but Wu Yong stepped forward quickly and helped him up. Liu Yingying, with a pale face, grabbed Wu Yong's sleeve tightly and shook her head. He pursed his lips and said, "Tell me, this isn't true."
However, Wu Yong, who always answered all questions, at this moment, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Chapter 160
"Zhizhizhi——"
Before dawn, the birds in the forest begin to look for food.
Wu Yong was sleeping on a tree, but was woken up by birds. He checked the time, jumped off the tree, and walked to the thatched house. He was about to take off his bamboo hat and go out to prepare food.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw that the bamboo hat hanging on the wall had long disappeared.
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he came to his senses, he immediately asked in the room: "Miss, Miss Liu——"
However, after three greetings in a row, there was no response. He immediately pushed open the door of the room and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw that the room was already empty.
At that moment, Wu Yong felt his scalp become numb.
He said, this Miss Liu is a very assertive person. How can someone who can't even handle the young master listen to him with just a few words?
In fact, in the past half month, Miss Liu had "behaved" so well, neither crying nor making trouble, that he even relaxed his vigilance.
