Liu Yu was running, Fei'er was blowing the messy hair on his forehead, and the salty smell of the enemy's blood on his face kept getting into his nostrils, this feeling of killing , making his reaction and speed become sharper and faster, but in his mind and in front of his eyes, there was always a beautiful figure that lingered. He forced himself not to look or think about it, but he didn't know why. , this shadow became more and more clear, and even made his breathing a little abnormal.
Liu Muzhi's voice rang in his ears: "Jinnu, do you want to take a rest? I think you are a little distracted."
Liu Yu was suddenly alert. He stopped and looked back. The nearest warriors were a hundred steps away. They gritted their teeth, shouldered their weapons, and ran. Unknowingly, he ran for a while. The time was so long that the companions behind him could not catch up. If Liu Muzhi hadn't been riding a horse, he might have had to run for no longer before he stopped.
A trace of apology flashed across Liu Yu's face, and he turned around and made a resting gesture to the large group of people behind him. The team that was like a marathon just now stopped immediately. The Beifu Army had already experienced two fierce battles and fighting on this day. The soldiers finally rested on the roadside. Many of them greedily took out the water bottles and wine bags they carried with them, and poured various drinks into their mouths to replenish the sweat they had lost along the way.
Liu Muzhi jumped off the horse, walked to Liu Yu's side, and sighed: "You looked very dangerous just now. You were running like this with all your strength. You didn't even know what was going on around you. I heard that your breathing was wrong and I called you." Stop, if I let you run for a while longer, I'm afraid you'll vomit blood and hurt yourself."
Liu Yu sighed: "It's my fault. I lost my mind for a moment and made everyone worried. I promise, it won't happen again."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "Is it because of Murong Lan? The only thing you can't let go of now is her."
Liu Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The plan we discussed hurt her deeply. This is the first time in my life that Liu Yu feels guilty, especially for a woman who loves me so much." , but I took advantage of her, which makes me feel really uneasy."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, we are sorry for this matter, Alan, but for the sake of our Han family, we must do this. The biggest opponent in the Northern Expedition will always be Murong Chui, and to defeat this current military god, we can only rely on Head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield is very difficult, especially when there is so much resistance behind us. We don’t know how many times we will have this opportunity for the Northern Expedition in our lifetime. It would be a pity if we don’t seize it this time. What’s more, it’s Murong Chui. They had evil intentions first and wanted to sneak attack on the Central Plains and capture Luoyang, but we were just counterattacking."
Liu Yu said quietly: "Having said that, we are taking advantage of Alan after all. I am not afraid of anything. I am just afraid that one day I will fall into this situation and have to fight her face to face. I, I don't know if I am You can do this."
Liu Muzhi solemnly said: "The Murong clan was originally a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, but because of their ancestors' excessive desire for power, they established themselves as emperors and took control of the Central Plains, causing endless suffering and killing. Facts have proved that the Murong clan has no power at all. He is not worthy of owning the world. Even though Murong Chui is known as a great hero, Hebei under his rule is in ruins and is in ruins. Even so, he does not want to protect the country and the people, but still fights everywhere. This shows that the Murong family does not know Benevolence and righteousness do not know how to love the people. Whether as a citizen of the Jin Dynasty or as a son-in-law of the Han family, we should not turn a blind eye to their cruelty to the people. You must know that eradicating violence and restoring peace to the Han Dynasty is our mission in the world. This is It’s a matter of righteousness, how can it be stopped by the personal relationship between children?!”
Liu Yu nodded and said seriously: "Fat man, what you said is very good. I just couldn't think about it for the moment. Thank you for your enlightenment. However, on the battlefield, I still don't want anyone to hurt Alan. After all, we are husband and wife. Although our positions are different, I definitely don’t want to see anything happen to her.”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Isn't she helping the two? She may not come to be your enemy."
Liu Yu sighed: "You don't know Alan very well. I know her very well. Although she married me, she still has her elder brother and people in her heart. If nothing happens in Yan country, she will naturally stay with me forever. But if the family and the country are in trouble, she will not fail to go back and help. After all, she is the daughter of the Murong family and the princess of the Yan Kingdom. This is a destiny destined at birth and cannot be changed."
"Think about Princess Qinghe. Even though she married Fu Jian and became the concubine of the Qin Kingdom for many years, she still never forgets to restore the country. This is the woman of the Murong family. Just like the men of the Murong family, everyone wants to fight for power and dominate the world. And the women of the Murong family, no matter who they marry or where they are, will always have their motherland at heart, and I think Alan will be the same."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a shrill sound of arrows piercing the air. Just a few dozen steps away, more than ten Beifu sergeants squatting on the roadside to rest suddenly fell into a pool of blood. They had not been trained. Su's warriors jumped up from the ground like springs, picked up their weapons, and immediately got into fighting postures.
There was another dense attack of flying knives and silver needles, this time coming from the opposite direction of the arrows. In the grass behind everyone, the vital points on the backs of the necks of more than a dozen warriors were suddenly covered with these hidden weapons. Although they were all heavily armored, many of them removed their armor while resting. Especially the neck area, which lacked protection, became the focus of the attack.
Tan Pengzhi roared angrily, held the big bow in his hand, and flew a series of arrows into the grass. Several muffled sounds rang out, and the grass returned to calm, while the soldiers of the Beifu Army formed small teams, back to back, in groups of three to five. , began to sweep through the grass half a man tall, and saw four or five corpses all dressed in green, which were the same color as the grass, lying in the grass, with flying knives and silver needles in their hands. launcher.
Liu Muzhi murmured: "What a powerful assassination, Murong Lan, it is indeed her."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Alan, I know it's you. Please don't be our enemy. You can't stop us. I don't want to hurt you."
Murong Lan's voice seemed far away, floating everywhere: "Liu Yu, needless to say, I must protect my people and my country. If you stop and retreat, I will advise my elder brother to withdraw your troops and not attack Luoyang." , if you insist on attacking and destroying me, Dayan, then I will have no choice but to fight to the death!"
Liu Yu raised his sword eyebrows, turned around and said in a deep voice: "The whole army gathered quickly and set off immediately. Don't pay attention to the assassination and ambush of the enemy's secret guards, and don't get entangled with them. Within an hour, I want to see the city wall of Yecheng." !”
