"drive me home……"
Xiao Yuwan felt in a trance, and she even felt that what she saw was an illusion.
But she felt the man's body temperature and heartbeat. He did exist, and he also saved her.
"Yu...Yudi, is that you?"
"Hmm, hey hey..."
The man nodded and smiled again. His smile was as warm as the spring breeze and made people feel reassured.
Xiao Yuwan, who was accustomed to all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues, felt for the first time that there was such a gorgeous and sincere smile in the world.
She was slightly pleasantly surprised, but for some reason she fell into an unprecedented disappointment.
Her mind flashed through her brother, the supreme emperor of the empire.
He never seemed to smile like this at anyone, even at himself. There was always a sinister and calculating look in his smile, which made people scared.
The man looked at her tenderly and began to speak:
"It really made me sweat just now. If it weren't for those arrow clusters, I really don't know if General Pei and the others could have saved you. Also, Sister Yuwan, stop acting like a princess. Life and death are at stake. Nowadays, running away is the right way, if your life is gone, then nothing is lost!"
Xiao Yuwan had heard all the compliments and flattery, but she had never heard anyone say such words to her.
She nodded in understanding, and stood up with the help of the man.
The fighting continued all around, and the collision of metal was particularly harsh amidst the crackling sound of the flames.
The golden-armored general guarding in front of him resisted the attack of a black-clothed assassin. He fought hard to kill the opponent and took a few steps back. He turned around and said: "Eldest Princess, leave quickly! I will wait for the eldest princess to cut off the queen."
"General Pei is here to help!"
Pei Zhi was slightly stunned, but the enemy counterattack came like a whirlwind, so he had to withdraw his thoughts and fight hard.
I saw Xiao Yu jumping out of the van with Xiao Yuwan.
The hem of the gorgeous and thick dress was suddenly caught by something, which made Xiao Yuwan unable to move forward or retreat.
Xiao Yu knelt down and checked the condition of the skirt. He saw two rivets holding a large section of the skirt.
"Wearing such a cumbersome dress is really in the way, why not wear some pants."
Xiao Yuwan was surprised when she saw Xiao Yu pull hard, and with a "sneak" sound, a large piece of the skirt that was trailing to the floor was torn off.
Xiao Yuwan's smooth calves were exposed. Her face flushed and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at her cousin.
Xiao Yu didn't seem to care about this at all, holding her hand and running north.
On the way, they encountered a killer who was chasing them.
Xiao Yu blocked the opponent with the long sword in his hand for several rounds, when the burning attic collapsed and fell. After a loud noise, both parties retreated more than ten steps.
The long sword in Xiao Yu's hand accidentally fell into the fire while dodging the falling objects. Fortunately, the fire that shot up into the sky separated them on both sides.
From the raging fire behind him, the killer in black could be heard yelling and yelling wildly, but Xiao Yu ignored him completely.
"Sister Yuwan, let's go quickly! There is a crowd in front of us. Once there, those killers won't dare to do anything."
Xiao Yuwan, who was still in shock, nodded. Running all the way was like a dream, which made her feel overwhelmed.
But when Xiao Yu was by her side, she felt at ease.
They ran all the way again, the burning wooden structures on both sides kept falling, and the billowing heat waves burned their bodies, causing a dull pain.
They moved around in the collapsed wooden buildings, avoiding all dangers.
Once there was no way to go ahead, and behind him he was blocked by a sea of fire.
Before Xiao Yuwan could react, Xiao Yu suddenly picked her up by the waist.
With anger on her face, she broke away slightly and beat this "disciple" on the chest a few times, but she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Sister Yuwan, I'm sorry."
Xiao Yuwan felt at ease again when she saw that his bright eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to sink the boat, and there was no thought of frivolity or frivolity on his face.
"Yudi, what are you going to do?"
"Cross the sea of fire! As long as you move at the right speed, you and I will be fine. Cover your mouth and nose with your sleeves and try not to take a big breath. The hot air will burn the human body far more than the flame itself."
Xiao Yuwan seemed to understand. She saw Xiao Yu moving his body left and right, looking for a way to survive.
"That's it!"
Xiao Yu clenched his teeth and his eyes showed a determination to win. He shouted, hugged Xiao Yuwan and ran towards the sea of fiery fire with all his strength.
Flames crackled in their ears, and heat waves hit their bodies.
Although it was only a short moment, Xiao Yuwan felt as if she had spent an entire spring and autumn in this man's arms.
In a daze, she asked herself again.
who is he?
Is he really Xiao Yu?
That "demented boy" who crawls around barefoot in the snow in the cold winter and is independent under the scorching sun in the hot summer?
He is not,
There seems to be another soul in his body,
This soul is full of vitality and carries this unfortunate body.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuwan laughed herself.
"Sister Yuwan, sister Yuwan, we are here, we succeeded!"
The man's soft face glowed with joy again.
Xiao Yuwan also smiled, her smile was so gentle, charming and touching.
Xiao Yu then gently put her down,
Xiao Yuwan's mind was still in a trance in her previous reverie.
Xiao Yu saw her expression was different and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xiao Yuwan suddenly felt her face getting hot. She didn't know whether it was the burning of the flames or the feelings of the opposite sex in her heart.
Apart from his own brother, he had never had so much skin-to-skin contact with anyone of the opposite sex, not even the titular Prince Consort Pan Duo.
"Oh, maybe I was shocked just now. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We'd better leave quickly."
"Um."
Although Xiao Yu was surprised, the situation was so complicated that he had no time to think about the woman's thoughts.
Just when the two of them were about to leave, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he pulled Xiao Yuwan behind him again.
"Yudi, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yuwan was still confused, but she also saw a tall figure approaching them in the smoke in front of her. The long sword in the man's hand looked particularly dazzling in the firelight.
"Mouse can get through any hole. I told you not to leave any gap for you, but the elder brother just didn't listen. Fortunately, I had the foresight to guard here in advance."
Xiao Yu frowned. The tone of this man's words was a bit strange. It was not Jiangzuo Mandarin.
But the voice was familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
An unwanted memory suddenly swept through his mind, and he exclaimed:
"It's you!"
The other party's tall body had appeared, and he was suddenly startled, and then burst out laughing again.
"Who do I think he is? Turns out he is the prostitute raised by Consort Pan?"
Xiao Yuwan's eyes were strange, and he looked at Xiao Yu steadily.
And Xiao Yu was about to be furious.
He turned to look at Xiao Yuwan with a wry smile:
"Sister Yuwan, I...I have nothing to do with the Prince Consort..."
Xiao Yuwan's eyes were still strange, but she smiled, her smile was gentle and considerate, which was reassuring, and she nodded to express her trust in Xiao Yu.
The tall man in black was stunned after listening to the conversation between the two, and pointed at Xiao Yuwan with a finger as thick as a stick.
"Are you the eldest princess of Yongning, Xiao Yuwan?"
Xiao Yuwan didn't speak. A lowly killer was not qualified to talk to the noble eldest princess of the empire. She just looked at the other party coldly.
The man in black looked at Xiao Yu again: "You did keep your promise and brought Xiao Yuwan to me. Although you played some tricks the night before yesterday and caused me to lose seven brothers, I don't care about you. You have done meritorious service, so I will let you die a pleasant death! But I will not leave you with a whole body, and it would not be pleasant if you left a whole body. Fortunately, Princess Yongning can be buried with you, so it is settled. You have something on your mind."
These words made Xiao Yu's scalp tingle. It was not because he was afraid of death, but because he had never encountered such a sincere enemy.
At that time, he was just trying a little trick to save his life, so he talked nonsense, but he didn't expect that this stupid guy believed it and was still here to learn and use it to slander him.
If he had known this, he should have made up some other lies at that time. Now the goodwill he finally accumulated in front of Xiao Yuwan was about to be lost to this thief.
Xiao Yu's eyes were a little sad. He wanted to explain, but the current enemy was not his mother-in-law.
He turned to look at Xiao Yuwan again.
Xiao Yuwan's face was as dark as water, and she seemed not to be affected by the thief's words at all. There was still a kind of alienation and indifference in her eyes that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Xiao Yu murmured in his heart that the most noble eldest princess of Daqi should be so magnanimous and have an above-average IQ.
Without worries, Xiao Yu became bolder.
He stretched out his arms to show that he was not carrying any weapons. He stomped on the spot, singing about the empty city strategy and thinking about how to escape.
Naturally, it is essential to tell lies with a mouth full of lies. He has nothing else to use except this mouth. But he knows that the other party is not easy to fool, and he must tell lies as truthfully as possible.
"Do you know who I am?" Xiao Yu looked at the other person with a sinister look in his eyes.
The other party was frightened, and he could have swung his sword to kill Xiao Yu directly, but he did not dare to move: "Who are you?"
"Who do you think I am?"
The other party was a little unsure when he saw that Xiao Yu was still so arrogant when he was about to die.
"You...you don't tell me...how do I know who you are if you don't tell me? I knew you were Pan Duo's prostitute, and you did some shameful things!" After the other party said this, he finally didn't want to go any further. When he stopped talking nonsense with Xiao Yu, he raised his sword and said, "You love to cheat. I wonder who else can save you today."
"Houguancao!" Xiao Yu suddenly shouted.
The opponent's body suddenly froze, and his raised leg was retracted before it fell.
He put down his sword and subconsciously touched the iron plate at his waist. He touched it for a long time but found nothing. By now, half of his soaring flames had withered.
"Are you an egret?" Xiao Yu asked.
The other party didn't answer, and his eyes became sinister again.
"Give me the token back."
"I can give it back to you, but you have to answer three questions from me."
"you say!"
"Why did your Marquis Cao want to kill Princess Yongning! Is the Northern Wei Dynasty behind you?"
The other party laughed, and the sound sounded so sad and desolate in the night sky.
"Boy, I won't answer your question. You can ask the next one."
"How many of you are there? Who is the mastermind? Is he in Jiankang or Luoyang?"
"As far as I know, there are one hundred and fourteen people. The planner is not from Xianbei, nor from Di, nor from Huns, but from you Han people! But who he is and where he lives, I have no idea."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes: "The third question is, how were the previous explosions done? Have you invented gunpowder? What is the principle?"
The other party's eyes showed contempt: "You are asking me for such a naughty skill? How could I know that I only work for others with money. I don't care about other matters such as taking people's money and being loyal to them."
"besides……"
Before Xiao Yu could think of what to ask, he was interrupted by the other party.
"You said there were only three questions, and you would return the token to me after you answer them."
"The token is not here for the time being. If you don't kill us..."
The other party was already furious: "You Han people are cunning and cunning, how can I trust you!"
After that, he stopped listening to Xiao Yu's explanation and raised his sword to stab Xiao Yuwan.
Seeing that the situation was critical, how could Xiao Yuwan, a weak woman, withstand such a sword?
Xiao Yu moved his body and stood between Jianfeng and Xiao Yuwan.
A biting coldness passed through his shoulders, and his ears buzzed. At first, he didn't feel pain, but his left arm felt a little sore and numb, but as the sword tip slowly broke through his body, he He felt a sharp pain that cut through his flesh and instantly spread throughout his body.
Xiao Yuwan's cry came to his ears, she...she actually shed tears for me.
There was also the indescribable strange fragrance on Xiao Yuwan's body, but that fragrance seemed to have entered his memory many years ago.
Xiao Yu's consciousness was still there. When he saw the thief trying to pull out the sword, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the sharp blade with both hands.
Gurgling blood flowed from Xiao Yu's palms, pooled into a river and flowed down his sleeves.
The other party seemed to be shocked by Xiao Yu's move, and there was a little fear in his eyes.
There was a sound of wind in the ears, and a golden hairpin slipped by Xiao Yu's ear and inserted into the man's left eye.
The man let go of his right hand, and the long sword fell to the ground. He covered his left eye that was pierced by the gold hairpin with both hands and screamed.
Xiao Yu tilted his body and fell into Xiao Yuwan's arms like a frustrated ball.
"Brother Yu." The beautiful woman had tears in her eyes.
He forced himself to smile at Xiao Yuwan, and wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, but his hands were full of blood, so he had to give up.
"It's okay. It'll be fine in a few days."
Xiao Yuwan laughed through tears and nodded vigorously: "Yes, you will get better soon."
Looking at the man in black who had one eye blinded, he pulled out the gold hairpin and wiped the blood on the black clothes, then put the gold hairpin in his arms.
"I...I will kill you two today so that you can have a companion on your way to hell."
He said he was going to pick up the sword.
At this moment, a ray of silver light suddenly flew from the outside and stood between him and the sword.
It was a dragon-like silver spear, the body of which glowed with cold silver light in the night.
The owner of the spear appeared at this moment.
He had seen that man before, it was the man with the beautiful beard who almost killed him that night.
"I have no enmity with you, why do you always haunt me?" the man in black said angrily.
"If you hurt my young master, I will naturally be at odds with you."
This man with a beautiful beard is Liu Boxuan.
When the man in black was furious, he stamped his feet, used a desperate move, raised his sword and struck at Liu Boxuan.
Liu Boxuan's marksmanship was exquisite, and he poked several bloody holes in the opponent's body in just a few rounds.
Seeing that the man in black had only half a life left, he actually resorted to a life-threatening strategy, even if he lost a thousand to himself, he would still injure the enemy 800.
"Begging to save the six orphans! Don't hurt your own life!"
Someone suddenly shouted in the sea of fire behind them. The tone was lame. They were not Han people from Jiangzuo.
They saw four or five men in black running towards them from behind the flames. The flames did not hurt them at all, and they rescued the man in black named Qifuba Liugu.
"Brother, that woman is Xiao Yuwan, the eldest princess of Yongning. If we kill them, we can return to Monan!"
Liu Boxuan waved the silver spear in his hand and stood in front of the two of them like a god coming down from the earth.
He stroked his long beard and said: "If you want to kill them, first ask someone if he agrees with the spear in his hand."
I saw a man in black couldn't hold himself back, and he hit Liu Boxuan on the head with two weird smashing weapons.
Liu Boxuan blocked it easily and retracted the silver gun. The barb left on the gun head opened a big hole in the man's arm, and blood gurgled out.
But the man became angry and continued to fight with Liu Boxuan.
Seeing this, the other three men in black nodded to each other tacitly, and they prepared to split up to attack Xiao Yuwan.
Just when they were about to follow the plan, the ground suddenly shook, and a white object fell in front of Xiao Yu like a meteor falling to the ground.
It was a burly man, carrying a long spear, wearing a wide white robe with fluttering skirts, like an immortal from heaven descending to earth.
Xiao Yu recognized him. He was the Northern Dynasty surrender general, Yang Hua.
