Liu Kui's heart was beating hard and his fingers were trembling a little. He was as nervous as when he saw Shan Ning for the first time, unbuttoned her clothes for the first time, and became one with her for the first time.
】His fingers touched a hard object, which was his knife. The moonlight reflected on the window lattice. There was a faint light in the room, but it was not pitch black. However, he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or because his clothes were too messy. He touched it for a long time and found nothing.
Find the entrance to the pocket.
"Well, what do you do?"
On the bed, Shan Ning groaned, with a strong sense of tiredness.
Liu Kui trembled and hurriedly replied: "Oh, I...I got up at night..."
"Well..., let's light the lamp, it's just a waste of time."
"Oh, I...I'm afraid I'll wake you up..."
Liu Kui, who had a guilty conscience, was afraid that Shan Ning would become suspicious, so he reached for the table and found the oil lamp with a trembling sound. He started the fire with a bang and lit the lamp. He peeked at the bed and saw that Shan Ning closed his eyes and muttered something vaguely.
, turned around. Liu Kui didn't dare to touch the robe anymore, so he just walked out of the screen wearing only his small clothes and holding the oil lamp.
The toilet was in the corner outside the screen. Liu Kui put the lamp on the table and deliberately placed it between two vases so that the vases would block the light and make the light darker. He stood there pretending to listen and listened carefully to hear that there was no sound inside.
, then tiptoed to the door, and gently opened the door bolt inch by inch. The long-standing awe for Shanin was frightened away by Shanin's words while he was half asleep and half awake. Now he just wanted to escape.
As soon as the door opened, he immediately closed it and fled a few steps in panic. He was blown by the cold wind and realized that he was only wearing a small coat and the wind was biting. But at this time, he couldn't care about anything and put on his shoes.
After picking it up, I hurriedly fled to the front yard...
As soon as Liu Kui went out, Shan Ning sat up from the bed and sat there blankly.
The matter was so urgent that after Xia Xun, Sai Hazhi and Yan Wang Zhu Di had made plans, they came to join her first. When talking about Liu Kui, Xia Xun once again signaled to her that she must be careful and rebel.
Not everyone has the courage to do such a big thing as the imperial court. Many big things in history were exposed in the hands of a small person in a small link, and she was told to watch her appearance and be cautious.
Shan Ning didn't take it seriously. She didn't believe that Liu Kui would betray her. When Xia Xun said that he, Sai Hazhi, Zeng Er and others would be guarding the house, she was still amused by their fuss, but unexpectedly
Contrary to her expectations, he really betrayed her. Not long after the two were alone, she noticed something strange about Liu Kui.
Not because of Xia Xun's reminder, but because of a woman's intuition. Liu Kui is not a deep-seated person, and his emotions and anger are completely invisible. When he made love with her, he was preoccupied and absent-minded. How could Shan Ning feel uncomfortable?
When Shanin fell asleep, although he tried to calm down, his breathing became rapid and his body turned unbearably... An ominous premonition gradually enveloped her body and mind.
"Ta, tap!"
The window lattice was lightly tapped twice, and Zeng Er's voice came from outside: "Empress, A Kui... Liu Kui, you have already caught it."
Shan Ning hummed in a low voice, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I'm tired and can't see him. Let's get him through tomorrow and let Xia Xun arrange everything."
Zeng Er said "Yes", his figure was reflected on the window by the moonlight, and he bowed habitually, then stopped hesitantly, and said in a worried tone: "Mother?"
Shan Ning said calmly: "I'm fine. Once the door is closed, you can bring that heartless person back to see me!"
"As you command!"
Zeng Er's figure looked like a shadow puppet outside the window, his head was thumped, and there was a sound of footsteps, and he left.
Shan Ning pulled up the quilt and hugged it to his body, still sitting there. Under the dim moonlight, there were two bright marks on his cheeks. It was unclear what they were...
※※※※※※※
In the mountains and forests outside Liujiakou, King Yan's vanguard troops responsible for the surprise attack had quietly ambush, getting as close as possible to the pass and watching the movements of the pass closely. There were occasional soldiers walking around on the pass, lazily, and they were already familiar with the mountain scenery. Too lazy to take another look. This side is inside the pass, and although the other side is outside the pass, the large territory of the pass is also controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court has 80,000 troops stationed outside the pass. What should they be wary of?
Someone came up the mountain road, all dressed as town residents. There were four big men working together to carry a bed board. There was a person on the bed board, covered with a quilt. When the defenders saw it, they shouted from a distance: "Stop, stop, stop." What do you do?"
"Master Jun, the old man...the old man is an old family member of Mr. Liu Qi's house. Do you recognize him?"
There was a soldier lying on the arrow pit and looking down. He recognized that it was indeed the old family member who often came to Guan Guan to see Mr. Liu Qi. He was being supported by a big man, so he smiled and said: "Ah ha, it turns out it's you. We always Didn’t Mr. Ban go to town, what are you doing here?”
Xia Xun, who was supporting the old man, tapped his waist with a short blade and scolded: "Say!"
The old man suddenly had a clever idea and hurriedly stamped his feet. He shouted at the top of his lungs with a crying voice: "Master, something big has happened. Our master was insane last night. He talked nonsense and beat everyone he saw." Several people were injured by the old man. The old man asked a few young men for help, and then he restrained the old man. Look, isn't this tied up? Military men, the old man is the only one in the old man's house. This problem The old man can't serve me, what should I do..."
After the old man finished speaking, he was half truthful and half false, half under Xia Xun's instructions, half out of fear, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Several soldiers at the pass were surprised and puzzled when they heard this: "I'm crazy." ?Why did Mr. General Banner get so frustrated that he went crazy?"
Several soldiers were crouching at the top of the city and looking down. The people at the bottom of the city pushed the door panel over, revealing Liu Kui's face. After closing the door, the soldiers took a look and couldn't help shouting: "Hurry, hurry up, release the suspension bridge quickly." , it is indeed the General Banner Master."
These soldiers had been living peacefully for too long, and they saw that the person shouting was indeed the family of the flag officer, so they were unsuspecting and immediately lowered the suspension bridge. Someone hurriedly ran to tell the deputy flag officer Wang Yanxi the news.
Several big men carried the door panels across the suspension bridge and climbed onto the city gate tower. Suddenly, they were surrounded by a few lively guards. They saw that the person lying under the quilt was indeed the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief's eyes widened with anger. , his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead stretched out one by one, he really seemed to be suffering from a mad disease. A soldier saw that the commander-in-chief had a rope tied around his mouth, as if a fierce horse was chewing his head, and he couldn't help but curiously said: "Why? And you also tied the mouth of the commander-in-chief?" He said that he was going to tie him up and untie him.
"do not move!"
Sehazhi roared, making the soldier tremble in fright. Sehazhi quickly put on a smile and said hehe: "Master, don't touch him. As soon as you untie the rope, this gentleman will bite him." .Here..."
Sehazhi raised Zeng Er's hand. It was wrapped with white cloth and there was blood oozing out from it. This was the injury he got when he arrested Liu Kui last night. Sehazhi said seriously: "Are you there, my second brother?"
One of his fingers was eaten by Mr. Zongqi."
The soldier was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly hid far away, and said in shock: "Could it be that Mr. General Banner is possessed by an evil spirit? Why is he so crazy?"
"Uh huh... Huh..."
Liu Kui's head shook violently, and his eyes nearly popped out, but he was tied tightly and could not move. Xia Xun immediately shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, Master Liu."
Going crazy again..."
"Mr. Liu is crazy!"
When he just heard the news, Vice President Wang Qi was very surprised. He asked the soldier who reported the news carefully, and then he jumped up with joy: "My grandma, I finally got through it! I remember Mr. Shi back then."
When the flag was raised, it was my turn to be the chief flag officer. The result was great. Prince Ning's Mansion said a word of salt, and the chief flag officer was occupied by Liu Kui who fell from the sky. Now he is crazy.
Hahaha, who is still trying to rob me, who can rob me?"
Wang Yanxi, like Fan Jinju, ran wildly to Liu Kui, who had an angry look on his face like a demon-conquering King Kong. Before he could say a few pretentious greetings, his dream of becoming the general flag was shattered. Zeng Er took out the knife from under the door panel.
A knife came and was stabbed into his stomach.
When Wang Yanxi was stabbed, the big men took action at the same time. They took out weapons from under the door panel, half of them rushed to guard the beacon tower, and the other half rushed to the other side of the pass, and chopped them off with two clanging swords.
The ropes of the suspension bridge suddenly fell to the ground. When the Yan Army vanguard who was hiding in the dense forest saw the suspension bridge falling, they shouted and rushed out wearing straw hats, raincoats and various disguises...
The garrison in Guan Guan was sparse, some were wandering around, and some were chatting in the barracks. The chief and deputy commanders were restrained and killed, and the Yan army suddenly charged in from close range. The swarm of insects was leaderless.
There is no counterattack.
The greatest value of the existence of this small pass is actually the signal transmission of the beacon tower. Now a few big men have climbed up the beacon tower first and controlled it from a high position. The killing here is earth-shaking, and the officers and soldiers garrisoned at other passes have to be closest to them.
It was impossible to hear it from dozens of miles away. Liujiakou Pass... was successfully captured!
※※※※※※※※
Populus euphratica survives for a thousand years when it is born, survives for a thousand years when it dies, and survives for a thousand years when it falls.
In later generations, it was difficult to grow large areas of Populus euphratica trees in this area, but at this time, the Poplar euphratica trees here were still densely forested.
In "Hero", the scene where Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi fight is in the Populus euphratica forest. The flying yellow leaves and the overwhelming golden color are like a paradise on earth. When you get to that scene, what comes straight to your mind is not only the beautiful scenery, but also the overwhelming beauty.
There is the sadness and desolation of decay.
At this moment, the scenery of the Populus euphratica forest is comparable. The sunlight casts down from the Populus euphratica trees, shining colorfully on the thick golden yellow Populus euphratica leaves on the ground.
Liu Kui's hands were tied tightly with cowhide ropes, and he stood in the forest with a pale face. The wind blew, and the flying Populus euphratica leaves blew on his body. On his face, he did not dare to squint his eyes slightly. He was frightened.
There was a horse in front of her, and a man on the horse, dressed in white as snow, holding the end of a cowhide rope in her hand.
The desert looked at him quietly, his face was pale, without a trace of blood. Liu Kui wanted to kneel down several times, kowtow to her and beg for mercy, but he knew the temper of the woman in front of him. If he dared to kneel down, she would be very angry.
She might kill him with an arrow right away. Even if he were Liu Kui, Shan Ning would not allow him to insult her lover to such an extent. Her man must live like a man.
"If you don't want to, just tell me and I won't force you. Before I seek the Liu family, I will temporarily restrict your freedom, but I will let you go sooner or later. Why do you want to betray me?"
Shan Ning's eyes flashed with crystal tears, and he asked sadly: "You can go your own way, I won't block you, but why did you betray me? You can enjoy the glory and wealth you gained by betraying me."
?”
"me……"
Liu Kui's lips trembled. He wanted to defend himself and beg for mercy, but in the end, he couldn't say a word.
"Whoosh!"
The cold light of a knife flashed, and there was a "pop" sound. There was no leaf under Liu Kui's feet, only the handle of the knife was exposed. Shan Ning said quietly: "Do you know that when you were groping for this knife there, I felt something in my heart."
How much pain?"
Liu Kui slowly lowered his head, he really had nothing to say.
"Liu Kui, what do you have? Tell me, what do you have?"
Shan Ning's voice became louder: "In terms of talent, astronomy, geography, medicine, divination and astrology, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, hundreds of schools of thought, are you as good as King Ning Yiyi?"
"In terms of power, status, character, appearance, wealth and splendor, are you as good as King Ning Wanyi?"
"Liu Kui, I, Shaning, am not stupid. You are somewhat resentful towards me. I know that. You are very unhappy because of me because of leaving your family outside. I also know that. But you only think about you.
, have you ever thought about how much I have paid for you if I neglected to be a good princess? I gave you my whole heart, and you treat me like this?!"
"me……"
Liu Kui's head almost buried in his chest, but he still couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Shan Ning's eyes filled with tears and he said in a low voice: "Do you know that when I asked you what you were doing, I was still hoping that you would change your mind. At that time... as long as you put down the knife and come back to me, this matter... I
I will treat it as if I never know..., do you know..."
The wind picked up again, filling the sky with yellow leaves, circling and flying, for a long time.
On the Liujiakou Pass, Zhang Yu held Xia Xun's hand and laughed loudly: "Brother, you have done another amazing feat. Brother, I admire you more and more."
Xia Xunqian smiled and said: "My younger brother's ability to charge into battle is not as good as my elder brother's, so I have to work hard on the sidelines. When will His Highness arrive?"
Zhang Yudao: "Your Highness is leading an army of tens of thousands. If you arrive here early, you won't be able to hide your eyes from others. Your Highness is still a hundred miles away at this moment. Don't worry, I have sent someone to inform Your Highness. Your Highness will definitely respond as quickly as possible."
Come quickly and lead the army."
As he said that, he looked around and asked, "Where is Princess Ning? If Your Highness arrives, you should see her."
Xia Xun said: "She is in the town at the foot of the mountain. Brother Zhang will guard Liujiakou first, and I will go see the princess."
Xia Xun rushed to the bottom of the mountain. Before he passed through the Populus euphratica forest and entered the town, he saw deep drag marks on the ground. The fallen Populus euphratica leaves were plowed open on both sides, revealing the frozen soil ground. There were also some faint traces of blood, as if they were a trail.
The giant python rolled crazily through the forest, and Xia Xun immediately became more vigilant. He held the knife and walked forward carefully, turned around a big tree, and saw Zeng Er holding a horse and standing still in the forest.
Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the handle of the knife and said, "Brother Zeng."
Zeng Er said: "Your Highness has rushed back to Daning. Your Majesty wants me to tell you that everything is as agreed upon. When His Highness King Yan attacks Daning City, it will be the time for His Highness King Ning to fulfill his agreement. Take your leave!"
Zeng Er got on his horse and galloped away. The wind wrapped the yellow leaves in colorful colors, and Xia Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. He was about to turn around and walk back when his eyes inadvertently glanced at a dead poplar tree by the roadside.
After passing by, I immediately settled there.
Hanging on the crooked branches was something that looked like a humanoid. The flesh and blood were blurred and rotten, making it difficult to distinguish.
Xia Xun shivered, quickly tightened his collar, and hurried up the mountain.
