Zhang Yuan rode on a horse and galloped down the street. The merchants and people on both sides dodged. He raised his long sword high and said, "I have surrounded them all. No one is allowed to leave the city!"
"yes!"
"How is it over there at the execution ground?" Zhang Yuan asked
"The prisoner has been kidnapped by General Guo, but the person who robbed the execution ground seemed to have disappeared in an instant. When we rushed over, except for our corpses, no one else could see a person who was so cruel and so quick.
ah!"
There was a hint of distortion on Zhang Yuan's handsome face, "Send my order. Guo Ziqing and Jian Xiao must not be allowed to leave Jingzhou even half a step. If they encounter resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"
Jian Xiao was hidden on horseback by Guo Ziqing, and his robe just covered her. "Ziqing, it's too risky for you to do this!"
"You are still in the mood to tell me this at this time?" Guo Ziqing waved his riding crop, "If I don't save you, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
"Who's in front of you? Get out of the way!" Guo Ziqing shouted on the horse, but the person in front showed no intention to dodge. Guo Ziqing pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.
"The Holy One has an order! No one is allowed to leave the city! When you see Guo Zi... General Guo, be sure... be sure..." The person who called out felt a little less confident when he saw the imposing Guo Ziqing.
"That doesn't make sense!" said another voice, "Who is leaving the city?"
Guo Ziqing swung his cloak and saluted respectfully, "General Qin? When were you transferred back to Jingzhou?"
Upon hearing that it was Qin Minting, Jian Xiao also lifted up from his horse and said, "General Qin!"
"Hey, it's you two!" Qin Minting saw that it was his former favorite general, and was very happy. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the big word "prison" on Jian Xiao's clothes, and frowned, "It turns out that the law
Are you the two people running on the field?"
Guo Ziqing dismounted and said, "General Qin! Please show me your noble hand. What Jian Xiao did was just being framed, and he lost his life because of it. I really can't bear it."
Qin Mintian was hesitant, "I, Qin, am able to achieve today's contribution, thanks to the heroic performance of the two of them in front of the Turkic formation. It's just the unfathomable power of God... The one named above said that Ziqing will be killed without mercy, I..."
Guo Ziqing took a step forward and said, "Ziqing is right here. If you want to kill or behead him, I'll leave it to the general's will. I just want Jian Xiao to be spared!" As he said this, he stepped forward and knelt down.
"Zi Qing..." Jian Xiao immediately never imagined that Guo Ziqing would do this for herself.
Everyone heard the crisp sound of horse hooves and turned around to look. They could only see the smoke and dust rising from the horses' hooves. They could not see the face of the person coming. It could not be Zhang Yuan who was chasing him. Guo Ziqing stood up and said, "Sir! Jian Xiao!
My life cannot be left in your hands or mine!"
Qin Minting sighed heavily, "I didn't want to!" Suddenly, Qin Minting suddenly made a move towards Guo Ziqing and pulled out his sword...
"General!" Jian Xiao and Guo Ziqing screamed in unison!
Qin Minting stabbed the sword blade hard on his shoulder blade, "You stabbed me to escape!" After saying that, he pulled out the sword and covered his chest, "Hurry up and leave!"
Guo Ziqing got on his horse and raised his hands to Qin Minting, "Ziqing thanked the general!"
"I can only delay you for a while, Zhang Yuan will be here soon! Be careful!"
Guo Ziqing waved his horsewhip and ran away with Jian Xiao.
Tuo Jinglie was about to reach the place, and when he saw a path opened, he rushed to it by himself and took advantage of the chaos to chase him out of the city!
Guo Ziqing took Jian Xiao to a forest. At this time, the yellow leaves had fallen, and the horse was moving very hard. The two had to dismount. Guo Ziqing pulled Jian Xiao forward without looking back.
"Ziqing!" Jian Xiao called to him, "We have come so far, let's take a rest."
"When you leave here, you will have plenty of time to rest!" Guo Ziqing did not stop, "If you are tired, I will carry you! But never stop!" Guo Ziqing looked back at Jian Xiao, "Didn't you hear the sound of the horse's hooves getting louder and louder?
Are you getting closer?"
Jian Xiao listened carefully and found that there were indeed the sounds of numerous horse hooves. She sighed and walked forward. She was filled with doubts at this moment, but she didn't know where to start.
As she walked through the woods, she unexpectedly saw a cliff in front of her. Jian Xiao lowered her head and looked down. In addition to the continuous branches, there was an endless river flowing below. "What should I do now? This is a dead end."
"No!" Guo Ziqing said, "If you climb down the cliff, there will be a platform, a cave and..."
Suddenly, Guo Ziqing's eyes suddenly opened, his body trembled, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He threw himself forward, "Ziqing, what's wrong!" Jian Xiao hurriedly supported him.
Only then did I see that there was an arrow stuck in Guo Ziqing's back.
"Haha! Guo Ziqing, just as His Majesty expected, you dare to visit Jian Xiao privately?" Zhang Yuan appeared on horseback with everyone. He put away his bow and arrows.
"Hmph! You don't need to flatter her. If it was as she expected, she wouldn't have waited until now to catch me!" Guo Ziqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled out the arrow cluster from his back, and protected Jian Xiao behind him.
"As long as I, Guo Zi, take a breath, Jian Xiao will not fall into your hands!"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yuan laughed again, "Guo Ziqing, Guo Ziqing, are you confused? This is a cliff, and there is a dead end in front and back! Come back with me, because you are His Majesty's consort, and for His Majesty's sake.
You have done many things through life and death, your Majesty may be soft-hearted and let you live!"
Guo Ziqing shook his head, "I didn't stop her from doing evil at that time. It's not too late to make amends for today's disaster. I, Guo Ziqing, will consider my life today as atonement! Go back and tell the second princess that my wife, Guo Ziqing, is already dead."
!”
"Bold! You actually lied!" Zhang Yuan shouted
Guo Ziqing raised his head and looked into the distance, blinked slightly, then looked back at Jian Xiao, "Jian Xiao, as you said, you and I are just brothers. I just couldn't find a good brother for you."
Sister-in-law, I have put you in such a predicament."
Jian Xiao shook her head, "Don't say that! You can do so much to save me..."
"This is all my life!" A self-deprecating smile appeared on Guo Ziqing's dark face, "If I had known that you were a girl when I was in Duanmu Camp, if I could have taken the initiative after knowing it, if I had returned to Beijing when my class teacher
At that time, if I refuse the marriage contract His Majesty gave me, what if..." Guo Ziqing's lips gradually turned white, the ruddy color on his face was gone, and his whole facial muscles were twitching.
Jian Xiao held his mouth and said, "Stop talking, stop talking!" He was already poisoned now. Talking too much would make the blood flow and worsen the condition.
Guo Ziqing held Jian Xiao's hand, "It's a pity that everything is a if!" He was furious, "I only hate myself in the palace for watching you approach her step by step, but I couldn't tell you."
"Then the man in black who rescued me in the palace was you?"
Guo Ziqing's mouth curved, "When you were kidnapped by Tuo Jinglie in Duanmu Camp, I hated myself for not being able to protect you! This time, just take the credit for me, okay?"
Jian Xiao nodded desperately, with tears in her eyes, "Ziqing, you can't die! I'll go back with them, you can't die!"
Guo Ziqing chuckled, "Although I, Guo Ziqing, have married a princess and raised a Lin'er in my life, the only thing I can't forget about you is you. As long as you are good, I am willing to do anything!"
