There were two thrilling sounds of "Puff" as the flesh was cut open, followed by screams. At this moment, there was only a "clang" as he caught the sword, but then the sword was released.
The sword light penetrated the crowd and then whirled around, blood spattered, and four people fell down in response. The remaining two people were frightened and hurriedly retreated. The figure flew past, and the sword light suddenly appeared, and they fell away again.
Only Chi Yingrui, who made the initial attack, stood still. His face was pale, and there was a red glow on his chest and abdomen. The light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said with difficulty: "No...impossible..."
The familiar stunt caused blood to flow from the corner of Chi Yingrui's mouth. At the same time, he vaguely expressed confusion and surprise: "How do you know the combat skills of my Chi Jiajian..."
Su Ziji didn't say anything. When they fought just now, Chi Yingrui, who was originally a needlepoint, failed in the first move. Without his sword skills, Su Ziji knew the essence, backhand, and flaws of this move, so he was the first
The sword cut off the life of this brave general.
Su Ziji did not answer, because after saying this, Chi Yingrui turned over and fell to the ground, breathless on the spot. He raised his head and looked at the eagle in the sky, without saying a word, got on his horse and chased after Lin Yuqing in the direction where he was fleeing.
Forty miles away from Beijing, there was a river. It was raining heavily at this time, and the sound of rapids could be heard in the distance. After walking for another two miles, I saw the river water rushing against each other, hitting the waves, and an ox cart running away.
At this point, there is no way forward.
Two figures jumped out of the car. Lin Yuqing glanced behind him and saw that the pursuers had not arrived yet. It seemed that Chi Yingrui was indeed holding back the people behind.
"Why didn't the boat arrive?" Before Lin Yuqing could breathe a sigh of relief, she looked at the rolling river in front of her and became frightened and angry.
Before departure, careful arrangements had been made. Among them, the dry road was only two sections from Lin Mansion to the city gate, and from the city gate to the river bank. The distance was not very far, but it was risky because of the pursuit of soldiers.
It is said that when you reach the river bank, you can immediately board the boat and go out to sea quickly by water. By then, the sea will be wide and the fish can jump. No matter how angry and resentful Dazheng's people are, it will be difficult to catch up.
The question is...where is the boat?
Where did the ship and the people who were supposed to be waiting here go?
Did you remember the wrong time?
Lu Yuyi's face was pale, and he didn't know whether it was cold or not. His body was trembling slightly, and he exclaimed in shock: "Master, there are no ships here, what should we do now? Has the person who is escorting us been discovered by Dazheng's people and eliminated in advance?"
"
Lin Yuqing was suddenly startled, but then thinking about what happened before, he barely suppressed the fear and slowly shook his head: "No."
He said to Lu Yu: "If the people of Dazheng got the news so early, we would not be able to leave the city. Even if we were allowed to leave the city, the people who ambush were only a small group of killers, which means that the emperor did not know about it and wanted to stay.
I don’t want to make anyone public about my destiny.”
"Their target is just me. It is impossible to do this in advance. This will not be helpful to their plan. Instead, it may distract people and cause unnecessary trouble."
Lu Yu was silent for a moment and nodded: "My lord, it was my fault."
"I don't blame you for thinking this way. After all, I have just experienced interception and pursuit before, and I can't see the ship. My first reaction is that the people here have been eliminated. But there is no ambush nearby. If they were really eliminated, the opponent would have been eliminated long ago.
It's time to take advantage of our astonishment and strike." Lin Yuqing pretended to be relaxed and said.
"Maybe the person who responded misremembered the time. We'll wait here for a while."
Lu Yu looked towards the direction they came from, frowning, with a solemn look on his face.
"I'm afraid that the pursuers will arrive soon... Master, look, who is the man on the horse? It seems to be coming towards us!"
When Lin Yuqing heard this, he turned around and looked in the direction he came from, and saw a man and a horse running towards him quickly in the rain, splashing with mud and water.
"Could it be Chi Yingrui?" Lin Yuqing thought to himself, if there were chasing troops, would one person be too few?
But when one person and one horse reached 100 meters, they saw clearly who was coming. First they looked ashen, this was not the Chi Yingrui they hoped for, and then they looked shocked. The person who came surprised them both.
Lin Yuqing stared at the knight intently, and couldn't help but nod when he jerked the horse's reins and flew down when the horse stopped neighing.
"So it's you who caught up. I didn't expect that your riding skills are so superb. I admire you. I admire you." Lin Yuqing smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Master Su, today is the palace examination. Why don't you take the examination and come to see me off?"
I am flattered by your kindness."
Su Ziji also smiled: "Actually, I didn't want to stop Mr. Lin from leaving. I didn't want you to give me such a heavy gift, so I had to repay it. I just finished the palace examination and came here."
Lin Yuqing couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Guan Mihu still succeeded?
Just then I thought about it and heard Su Ziji say: "It's a pity that the person you gave the gift to met Princess Xinping and Bianxuan, and they were all shot to death by random arrows. What a pity, what a pity!"
Although he had expected it, Lin Yuqing still felt heartbroken. Others would just pay it back. Guan Mihu was a great general, and he had no intention of beating around the bush, so he raised his eyebrows: "Are you killing me for the sake of the prince?"
Seeing that although Su Ziji didn't admit it immediately, he didn't deny it either. He thought it was acquiescence and sighed: "I don't know where you heard the news. You only know one thing but not the other. You have wronged me.
"
"I took the blame for what happened to the prince. He was kind to me in the first place. No matter how bad I am, I, Lin Yuqing, will never do such an ungrateful thing."
"I couldn't protect myself at that time, and I was serving as a hostage in Dazheng. You can probably imagine my situation at that time."
"My dear king, I felt that the Crown Prince of the Zheng Dynasty was so virtuous, and that the father, son, and descendants of the three generations of Mingjuns were so kind to Great Zheng, so he intervened in my name. What is ridiculous is that Emperor Great Zheng, the biological father of the Crown Prince, may be
Waiting for a reason, then take advantage of it."
"Both the emperor and the king regard me as a chess piece." Lin Yuqing sighed with emotion: "You and I are almost in the same boat, please believe that I am the one."
Su Ziji said calmly at this time: "I believe what you said. It is really what you did. At that time, I might have rewarded you generously. After a few years, the emperor will regret it and will not let you go. You will not be able to survive until now."
But before Lin Yuqing could smile, Su Ziji looked in his direction and asked, "But why did you attack my wife?"
"She is my married wife. You sent villains here. How dare you ask me to believe you?"
After saying that, Su Ziji looked serious, bowed according to the etiquette of a gentleman, and held the hilt of the sword in his hand: "Lin Yuqing, please give me some advice."
Lin Yuqing looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
Su Ziji seemed to always be so cold and polite. He was like this when he first asked him to teach him how to play chess, and he was like this now when he wanted to give his life to him.
If the two were not enemies and there were not so many misunderstandings, Lin Yuqing would actually really want to have such a friend.
But there are so many what-ifs in this world. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.
Lin Yuqing let out a long sigh, his face became as dark as water, and finally showed a hint of arrogance that looked down upon all living beings: "Well, I will teach you a thing or two, let you know that I am not only excellent at playing piano and chess, but my swordsmanship is also the best in the world!"
