After leaving Qingniu Mountain, the Bandit's Heart has been in a gray state. The general point platform has failed, the system store has failed, and even the system tasks have not appeared again. Now Cheng Dalei can only use the Bandit's Heart to check character information.
.
Cheng Dalei knew that he would have to wait until he re-established the cottage before the system would be activated again.
I just didn't expect that killing the ghost this time would actually trigger a hidden mission.
However, who is this ghost? He was just killing people randomly without paying attention to anyone who looked like the boss.
However, they didn't care too much now. It was more important to escape for their lives. Cheng Dalei and Li Waner rode donkeys and ran wildly on the grassland.
…
After the battle, the abandoned city was in shambles. Both the horse bandits and the Yulong Guards paid a heavy price. At a glance, there were corpses everywhere.
Gongfu led people to clean the battlefield, bury corpses, and treat the wounded.
At this time, Luo Jiu brought people back, and Gong Fu immediately asked: "Have you found the princess?"
Luo Jiu shook his head and cursed: "I don't know where that bastard went. We met horse thieves on the way and had a fight with them."
Now, there are two forces scattered on this grassland, the horse thieves and the fish dragon guards. Both sides are looking for Cheng Dalei who kidnapped the princess. And these two sides also have a deep hatred, and they will fight to the death when they meet.
Now when I mention Cheng Dalei, I gnash my teeth and want to eat him alive.
"Didn't you say that the princess had a grudge against Cheng Dalei? Why did he want to kidnap the princess?"
"How can robbers have any humanity? They are just a bunch of ungrateful beasts." Someone cursed.
There was a battle today, and many of the Yulong Guards killed many brothers. Everyone got angry when they mentioned bandits. Although Cheng Dalei was not on the same team as Gui Jianchou, he was still a bandit, and even more hateful.
More importantly, if Princess Mingyu is lost, these people will be beheaded. So these people must find Cheng Dalei and rescue the princess.
"Gong Fu, what should everyone do now?" Luo Jiu asked.
Gong Fu pondered for a moment and said: "Cheng Dalei must have gone inside the pass when he kidnapped the princess. General Xiao, take the people back to Xizhao Pass and send an order to each pass to block the roads and allow people to leave but not enter."
"How can we save the princess when everyone goes back?" Luo Jiu asked.
"Cheng Dalei only has one person. It is useless to leave too many people here. If you want to save the princess, you need the dragon guards." Gong Fu raised his head and said: "Go back to the capital and ask Emperor Ming to order the thirty-six dragon guards to come out."
At this time, the horse bandits in the border town were also in chaos. Guijianchou was the leader of the thirteen families of horse bandits. Because of his abnormal swordsmanship and abnormal personality, he ruled the thirteen families of horse bandits together. But now Guijianchou
He was worried to death, and he died in a confused way. Once he died, the group was leaderless, and all the bandits would return to their original situation of fighting on their own.
After a quarrel, everyone discussed the result: whoever kills Cheng Dalei and steals the princess will be the leader of the thirteen families of horse thieves.
So the overwhelming horse bandits dispersed and began to search for Cheng Dalei on the grassland.
At the same time, the bandits, robbers, bandits and other heroes in the pass are also rushing outside the pass. They don't know what is happening here, they just want to snatch the bride from the Yulong Guard.
Princess.
When Cheng Dalei left Chang'an City, Prime Minister Cui had already ordered that Cheng Dalei should not be allowed to reach Qinchuan alive. Now the order has been changed: Cheng Dalei should not be allowed to leave the grassland alive.
Although the orders are different, the meaning is the same, both require Cheng Dalei to die.
The manpower dispatched by Cui Xiang this time includes the retainers maintained by the government and professional killers from the world of martial arts.
For a time, the blank area of power on the border between the empire and the Rong tribe was overcrowded. They included: Long Wei, the leader of the empire's special forces, horse thieves who killed many people, professional killers, top swordsmen, fierce bandits with many masters,
There are even some Jianghu knights who want to kill Cheng Dalei and eliminate harm for the people.
These people are not a strong alliance, and they all work together to hunt down Cheng Dalei. Instead, they fight independently, and they are displeased by each other, so a big fight is inevitable.
It's like raising voodoos here. In a jar with too many voodoos, only the one who survives to the end is the real voodoo king.
Only then can we eat chicken.
…
The night after the battle in the abandoned city, Cheng Dalei finally got rid of his pursuers.
They rested under a grassy slope, but did not light a fire because they were afraid of being discovered.
The donkey was lazily grazing aside, the moon was bright in the sky, and there was a smell of green grass in the air.
Cheng Dalei took a deep breath. He came all the way and saw horses snatching horses. Three horses alone on the road were exhausted. Only then did he arrive here and rescue Li Wan'er from the rebel army. Only now can Cheng Dalei finally breathe a sigh of relief.
, relieve yourself of fatigue.
"Hi." Cheng Dalei waved his hand and said, "You didn't expect me to show up."
Looking at Cheng Dalei who was exhausted on the grass after the fight, Li Waner looked a little speechless. She rolled her eyes at Cheng Dalei and sighed softly.
"Can you send me..."
"I'll take you back." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "It's not a problem. Everything is taken care of by me. I'll take a breather and then take you back. How could I let you marry into the Rong clan?"
"You are not sending me back." Princess Mingyu said, "Send me to the royal city of the Rong clan to marry the king of the Rong clan, Hu Yanba."
Cheng Dalei, who was originally lazy, suddenly sat up and said in surprise: "You are so frightened that you are confused. I heard that Hu Yanba is basically a human-shaped walking beast. Are you willing to marry him?"
Cheng Dalei lowered his voice: "Didn't you agree to the marriage just to save me?"
"I do." Princess Mingyu's answer was beyond Cheng Dalei's expectation: "Since I must marry, why not save you by the way?"
She also sat on the grass, ignoring the brocade clothes on her body, looking at the stars in the sky and said slowly:
"In life, everyone has responsibilities. I have been pampered since I was a child, and I have gotten things that many people can't get in their lifetime. Maybe I am waiting for this day to marry myself to the Rong tribe and become the messenger of reconciliation between the two tribes.
By sacrificing me alone, I can at least buy five years of peace between the two races. The empire can use these five years to recuperate, avoid the displacement of the border people, and prevent the soldiers from leaving their bodies on the battlefield. This sacrifice is worth it."
Cheng Dalei didn't know whether the person in front of him was the imperial Mingyu or the unruly and willful Li Waner. The two identities were the same person, but they were so different.
She grew up... Growing up did not happen slowly in time, but only in a moment. At a certain moment, she suddenly understood, then she folded her wings, put on her helmet and sword, and started to walk on the battlefield.
After Li Wan'er finished speaking, she never heard Cheng Dalei say a word, and sighed softly in her heart. People in the world have no control over their own actions, so he may have understood the helplessness of this fate.
"Your theory about fate, responsibility, and sacrifice, does it sound like the same person?" Cheng Dalei asked tentatively: "Is your father deceiving you?"
