According to Bai Qige's plan, she spent one night resting and preparing. After the fog cleared at sunrise the next day, she set off for Yaoguo. Including the expected half-day stay at Shuangtian Village, it would take about five days to enter the imperial capital at a gallop. She should be able to save people in time. ..Of course, this is only if the speculation is correct. In other words, Yi Chenxuan will not touch Yi Chenjing for the time being in order to lure her into the game.
Bai Qige wasn't sure whether her guess was correct. This trip was completely a gamble. A bet on Yi Chenjing's life and death, and a bet on her own life. However, when Bai Qige was ready to face it alone, the situation was very different from what she expected.
Early in the morning, they packed their bags and equipped their horses. Bai Qige followed Ning Xizui and Ye Huawan to the north gate of the capital. The guard guard nodded to her and said nothing else. He looked back at the empty street. Bai Qige couldn't help but wonder. Silk was lost. She thought someone would come to see her off. Unexpectedly, not even her younger brother Bai Haoyu showed up.
Because they think this is a wrong choice? Or maybe the Bai family, who have lost their loved ones, cannot understand her desperate behavior to save Prince Dayao.
Laughing to herself, she walked towards the city gate holding the reins of her horse. Amidst the rusty creaking sound, the hair-like gap slowly expanded, inch by foot, until the city gate opened wide. Bai Qige was about to walk, but she inadvertently raised her head. .and then froze.
The autumn wind was silent. At some point, a neat team gathered at the gate of the city that was supposed to be empty. Their red clothes were like blood, their battle armor was like a city, their spears were pointing up to the sky, and their red tassels were floating in the air.
Covering her mouth with her cool palms, Bai Qige almost burst into tears in an instant.
These people have a unified name. They are existences that once shocked Zhongzhou and made all countries look up to and envy them. They also have a glorious and indelible magic.
Red Tassel Army.
"Seven hundred and sixty-four soldiers of the Hongying Army, under the orders of General Bai, swear to protect the third lady to the death."
The team trained by Bai Haocheng himself was also the last gift he left to his beloved sister.
No matter what, Bai Qige would never have thought that there were still people in the distant country who supported her in rescuing Yi Chenjing. Looking at the firm eyes and tall postures of more than 700 soldiers, Bai Qige seemed to see Bai Haocheng's gentle smile again. It was his warmth that had always encouraged her. Hold her, let her have the courage to fight against the darkness and coldness, and let her live tenaciously no matter where she is.
Compared to Ning Xizui, she owed Bai Haocheng the most.
"Third Miss, General Bai gave special instructions during his lifetime. The Hongying Army guards the iron walls of Zhao Kingdom during the war. When not at war, it is a team that only exists for the Third Miss. No matter where the Third Miss goes, the Hongying Army is willing to protect the Third Miss. The young lady will go through fire and water. She will not give up even if she dies."
The speaker was Xu Zezhi, Bai Haocheng's most trusted lieutenant. Bai Qige didn't know if this man understood the source of Bai Haocheng's good intentions. But looking at his expression, the word loyalty was clearly reflected.
She led the horse and stood in front of the city gate for a moment. When the warm and sore feeling in her heart eased slightly, Bai Qige took a deep breath and bowed to the more than 700 red-tasseled soldiers: "Thank you very much."
Other than that, I can't think of anything else to say.
"With so many people together, we won't be able to reach the imperial capital in five days." He coughed slightly to dispel the cozy atmosphere. Ning Xizui lowered her head slightly and leaned into Bai Qige's ear. "Miss Bai, do you want to take them with you? We should go first and let them go." Then follow."
Only by traveling lightly can we rush to rescue people as quickly as possible. Being with the Hongying Army will inevitably affect the schedule. If Ning Xizui hadn't reminded her from the side, Bai Qige almost forgot this. She frowned and thought about it. Bai Qige made a decisive decision Decision: "The original plan remains unchanged. Little Yezi and Mr. Ning, I and I will hurry up and hurry up. General Xu, you ask everyone to put on civilian clothes and pretend to be ordinary people. The armor and weapons are uniformly carried by carriages to cover them up. Divide them into several groups. Go to Qiaojiazhai from Taolong Town. I will leave instructions there first."
Bai Qige has always been cautious in doing things. She will not do anything impulsive or reckless. Although Xu Zezhi hesitated, he still nodded and accepted the order.
"Miss Bai." Ning Xizui suddenly pulled Bai Qige's sleeves and looked towards the city with her eyes.
There were soldiers standing on the top of the city. The slanting sun cast light, silhouettes of resolute and dark faces. Everyone's expressions were so solemn and respectful; the old figures supporting each other on the battlements were even more conspicuous. The white-haired veteran showed a forced smile with kind eyes. His wife, who had been by his side for decades, was in tears. His reluctant eyes fell quietly on the only daughter in the city.
Before the hatred of the country and the family, they shared the same hatred, but they also knew how much that woman, who was thin and stronger than men, had sacrificed for this city.
There was a clear roar in the silence. The red flag was erected high, and the white flag of Zhongzhou was shining. The young man was wearing a white robe and a slightly larger bright silver armor. His chest was puffed up with blood. The roar was like thunder. .
"Sister, have a good journey. We will wait here for you to come back."
Bai Qige nodded lightly, waved her hands and got on her horse. She let out a war horse's neigh, and bypassed the neatly organized Hongying army Juechen. She even forgot to wait for Ning Xizui and Ye Huawan who were in a hurry.
If she took one step too late, she would be afraid of being seen with tears in her eyes.
This trip was full of crises. No one could predict whether he would have the chance to meet his family a year or the next day. When she chose to take risks for Yi Chenjing, her guilt for her family was irreparable. If To repay, I can only try my best to survive.
It's a sunny day here, but it's rainy in the distance.
It is rainy in the autumn in the imperial capital of Yaoguo. Once it starts to rain, it will last for days and nights without stopping. At this time, the humidity is deeper and the weather is colder. The days in the sky prison will be even more difficult.
"I just received the news last night. I heard that Bai Qige is rushing here. Tell me, is she here to save you?" The slender tobacco bag turned in a circle. The end of the pot pressed against the thin body with a little force. On his chin, he forced the suspended man to raise his head. Yi Chenxuan seemed a little bored. He tried his best to make the person in front of him speak: "Seventh brother, don't you love her very much? Now she is risking her life to save you. Don't jump into the trap. Are you still in a hurry? Come, beg me, beg me to let her go. Maybe if I am soft-hearted, I will follow you."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yi Chenjing's face.
The pierced and suspended shoulder bones made him unable to move. But this did not prevent him from speaking. He just didn't want to answer Yi Chenxuan. This kind of question was completely meaningless. Opening his mouth to beg would only make Yi Chenxuan worse and more insidious. He used various methods to hurt Bai Qige to satisfy his twisted mentality.
Yi Chenxuan showed a disappointed expression. With a strong movement of his wrist, the cold smoking pot hit the wound on Yi Chenjing's shoulder hard. Seeing that Yi Chenjing could not stop shaking in pain, the disappointment finally eased a little. Yi Chenxuan smiled happily again. A little blood was smeared on Yi Chenjing's face with her fair fingertips: "I said that the person who knows me best in the world is you, seventh brother. You know everything I want. Bai Qige is the one who likes me the most besides you. Interested person. How could I be willing to let her go? I want to see her come to save you with hope but find that she herself is in the abyss. That kind of despair expression... Heh, I feel excited just thinking about it."
"You only know...these...shameless methods..." She hadn't drank water for two days and her throat was so dry that she couldn't make a sound. Yi Chenjing bit her lip and licked the sweet and hot blood to moisten her throat. She barely managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Shameless. So what if I'm shameless." Yi Chenxuan disagreed. "I can blame the world, but the world can't betray me. This world should be mine. Even if I destroy it with my own hands, it is natural. Seventh brother, Seventh Brother Brother, tell me why you insist on fighting with me. Wouldn't it be great if you were willing to be a puppet and follow my mercy? In that case, at least you don't have to die, and you don't have to linger like a useless person like you are now."
As if to prove that Yi Chenjing was a waste as he said, Yi Chenxuan pushed hard on the iron chain hanging up Yi Chenjing. He couldn't hold back the painful moan. It finally squeezed out from between Yi Chenjing's teeth.
The iron chain was thick and heavy. At the end was a polished and sharp hook. The hook pierced the skin and passed over the shoulder bones. Yi Chenjing was lifted up forcefully. As long as the iron chain moved, the wound would be torn. The pain was heartbreaking. Unbearable.
Half a month has passed since that day when I stepped into Ziyun Palace and fell into an ambush. I became a prisoner in a cage.
Yi Chenxuan treated Yi Chenjing harshly and asked the imperial doctor to keep a close eye on him outside the prison at all times. He would not allow Yi Chenjing to die without his order. He tortured Yi Chenjing in various ways and applied invasive medicine to protect his life. Compared to the Yaohuang couple who were locked in a golden cage, Yi Chenjing was even worse off than dead.
However, the most painful thing was not these wounds, but the heart. When he learned that Bai Qige was coming and that Yi Chenxuan was ready to wait for her to surrender.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Yi Chenjing has long been very indifferent to who wins and who loses. He has always naively believed that it would be good to win and become the prince. If he loses, he will die. It is so simple. Even if he is trapped They were in dire straits and reached a desperate situation. Only then did they realize that they had underestimated their half-brother. The hatred that arose from unknown reasons made Yi Chenxuan like an evil ghost. He wanted to tear him into pieces, smash his bones and spread ashes. Even his soul was torn apart. Will not give up until crushed.
Just because of the throne? To hold the bloody and dark power.
Yi Chenjing was too lazy to ask. Right now, he was only thinking about Bai Qige. He silently prayed to God for a miracle and who to send to stop her from coming.
It doesn't matter whether it's the Bai family or Ye Huawan. It doesn't matter even if Ning Xizui is. As long as she can be taken out of danger.
Yi Chenjing fell into silence again, making Yi Chenxuan feel even more lonely. Looking back at the deserted prison, there was nothing but the faint shadows of the two of them.
After walking meaninglessly around the cell twice, Yi Chenxuan suddenly thought of something. He stopped and showed a curious expression: "Seventh brother, I suddenly remembered something. There seems to be a great person beside Bai Qige. Again. The free food delivery to Zhao Kingdom was done from top to bottom. Even if I came to save you, I would risk my life to accompany you. Who has such strength and courage? It’s the one who sold the big emperor brother a pile of scrap metal. A businessman? I doubt if he has other identities."
Yi Chenjing's heart suddenly tightened and her body trembled. She shook the chain slightly and felt a sharp pain in her heart again.
In the dim light, Yi Chenxuan showed a sinister smile, as if he had thought of something fun.
"That's all. No matter who he is, what I want to know is... kill him. Your self-righteous wife will be very sad."·
