Guo Xiao left, and when Song Jianing called out the word “Big Brother”, after Song Jianing begged him to let her go home, he suddenly got up and left, with heavy steps, but moved out of the inner room like a whirlwind.

Song Jianing remained motionless until she heard the footsteps disappear completely in the backyard. She was sure that Guo Xiao really let her go tonight. Song Jianing slowly grabbed the quilt and slowly covered her body, covering her head, and then hid. Under the bed, she cried depressedly. She was almost taken over by Guo Xiao. Thinking of the danger in the previous moment, Song Jianing cried and couldn’t hold back, and there was a sob of sobbing from the bed.

When Pearl heard it, she was in a dilemma. It has been more than a month to serve Girl An. She could see that Girl An did not have a privy envoy in her heart. Most of them were forced to come. Girl An must have suffered tonight. She should persuade her. But, Girl An It seems that I don’t want to see them, not necessarily pleased that she talks a lot.

After hesitating for a moment, Pearl did not go in in the end, and stayed silently outside, listening to the crying inside gradually calming down before she returned to sleep on the couch.

In the inner room, Song Jianing cried enough, she cried out of tears, she pulled down the quilt and stared at the dim bed top, thinking about the prince for a while, eager to confirm whether the prince really hurt her right eye, and for a while, she missed her son and daughter, and she missed the palace. My mother and younger brother thought about their lives for a while, thinking about it over and over again, not sleeping all night, thinking that the lamp on the desk burned out, thinking that the night outside the window had faded, and there was more dim light.

It’s getting bright again.

Song Jianing looked at the top of the bed blankly as if he hadn’t noticed it.

Suddenly there was a noise in the courtyard. Song Jianing’s eyes slanted out of the window, as if he could hear Ah Si’s voice. Not long after, Wu Niang and Zhuer came in together. Zhu’er was holding water, and Wu Niang held a set of ash throws. Men clothes. Pearl knew what had happened last night, and saw the blood on Song Jianing’s face and neck. Pearl was taken aback, but she reacted immediately and bowed her head immediately. Wu Niang was frightened, and rushed to the bed, shaking while crying: “Girl, what’s the matter with you?”

She carefully touched Song Jianing’s face, the warmth between her fingers finally pulled back Song Jianing’s mind, her neck hurts, and her tongue hurts. But at this moment, Song Jianing’s heart is at ease. It’s not the double fight last night. She doesn’t. Will live.

“It’s okay, it’s stopped.” Song Jianing said hoarsely.

Wu Niang distressedly helped her sit upright, took the warm towel that Pearl handed over, and while helping Song Jianing wipe the blood on her face, she explained in a low voice: “Girl, the lord will take you out of the city with you, and ask you to change it. Men’s.”

Song Jianing quietly clenched his hand, and Guo Xiao took her, was it to threaten the prince?

Time is running out, and Ah Si urged outside once. Song Jianing refused Wu Niang’s offer to help her with medicine, put on a man’s robe, and went out with Wu Niang who was also dressed as a small servant. There was only A Si in the courtyard. Because of Wu Niang’s relationship, Song Jianing looked at A Si a few more times, but did not pay attention to it on the way to Shu. Today Song Jianing discovered that A Si Sheng’s tall and sturdy features are well-shaped, and there is a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows. Unsmiling, not quite like the bad guard who likes to take advantage of her in Wu Niang’s mouth.

Ah Si knew Song Jianing’s identity. Whether it was the princess of longevity or the woman he liked, he had to respect him. So as soon as Song Jianing came out, Ah Si lowered his eyes and said respectfully: “Girl, before the adults entered the palace, he had little life. The carriage is ready, and the girl will come with me.”

Song Jianing nodded slightly.

A Si glanced over Wu Niang and turned to lead the way.

Song Jianing and Wu Niang got on the carriage together, and Ah Si repeatedly told them not to wait and see before putting down the curtain. Song Jianing wasn’t in that mood, and Wu Niang didn’t have the courage. The second daughter sat quietly in the car. The carriage set off, going and going, and soon there were regular and orderly marching sounds.

About half an hour later, the carriage and Guo Xiao’s five thousand elite left Chengdu.

On this day, Song Jianing didn’t even see Guo Xiao. When it was dark, the army set up camp. Song Jianing was helped by Wu Niang to get out of the carriage and stepped into Guo Xiao’s camp. After absent-mindedly eating dinner, Song Jianing began to worry again, but Guo Xiao still did not show up. He only sent Ah Si and quietly took her and Wu Niang out of the camp, and walked east in the dark, turning over a small hill, and stopped at the foot of the hill. Carriage.

Song Jianing was full of doubts, Wu Niang couldn’t help asking Ah Si: “Where are we going?”

A Si first asked Song Jianing to get in the car, and when Wu Niang entered, he stepped into the carriage and said through the curtain: “Girl, the court sends troops to attack. Although the adults have a strategy to retreat from the enemy, be cautious. Escort the girl to a secret place. When the court retreats, the adults will pick up the girl in person.”

Song Jianing smiled, bitterly, after hearing this, Guo Xiao still refused to let go.

The carriage headed north overnight. On the hillside, Guo Xiao was alone. Looking at the carriage going further and further on the mountain road, he secretly clenched his hands. How could he be willing to die for her, even if he would not touch her all his life, he would not force her to die, he might not get her heart in this life, but the victory or defeat between him and Zhao Heng has not yet been divided.

The next day, Guo Xiao led five thousand Shu Di elites to Jianmen Pass, waiting for the court army with ease.

Ten days later, Zhao Heng led 80,000 imperial troops to Jianmen Pass and sent people to capture the pass. Guo Xiao wore a mask and hid behind to command the defense. With the help of Jianmen Xiongguan natural danger, he easily blocked the first attack of the imperial army. Zhao Heng rode on the horse to watch the battle. Seeing that the rebel army was condescending and could block most of the Zhou army on the narrow mountain road with only arrows, Zhao Heng immediately ordered people to beat the drums to retreat. After all, this battle was just for trial.

“Master, the sword gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we continue to fight like this, we can only use the lives of the soldiers to make a way out.” General Murong Zhao said solemnly. Jianmen is dangerous, and maybe a hundred soldiers die desperately to exchange the life of a rebel.

Zhao Heng nodded, looking at the tens of thousands of elites before and after, he was also reluctant to call these people to die in vain.

“I’m here to supervise the battle, you take five thousand people, find another way, find a small path to walk, and wait for the title.” Zhao Heng said slowly as he glanced over the endless mountains on the left and right of Jianmen Pass. He didn’t believe it. There is really only this way for these hundreds of miles of mountains.

Murong Zhao took the command, secretly transferred five thousand soldiers and horses, disguised as a businessman, and the soldiers split up and went out to explore. Zhao Heng was not idle either. He sent people to try fire attacks, or climbed cliffs and tried to shoot arrows from a height to attack the rebels, but unfortunately it didn’t work. Standing on the high city wall, Guo Xiao witnessed Zhao Heng’s soldiers failing to climb the rock but falling to bloodshed. Guo Xiao only saw irony. Why did the king of longevity repeatedly make outstanding achievements in northern Xinjiang? It is clearly the credit of his father and Li Long and other veterans. Zhao Heng is the prince, who has been drenched, and a scholar who is also equipped to lead the army?

“How about Zizhou?” Guo Xiao was more concerned about Li Shun’s attack on Zizhou.

The sentry replied: “Zuzhou has been prepared for a long time, and the emperor is still besieging him.”

Guo Xiao frowned. Zizhou was the last bone in Shu land. The high load brought 50,000 horses to retreat. If they don’t take it, they will suffer from the enemy. Therefore, this hidden danger must be solved first. Fortunately, there is the natural danger of swordsmanship in Shu land. At least it can withstand the court for more than a month. By then, Zhao Heng’s army has long been exhausted and is by no means an opponent of the Shu army.

He was confident that Murong Zhao had been running around in the mountains and forests for ten days, and finally met an old farmer. Murong Zhao claimed to be a tea merchant who came to Shu to collect tea. Because of the fighting in Jianmen, his motorcade could not pass, so he had to find another mountain road. The old farmer was simple and hospitable, without doubt, he really pointed him to a little-known entry into Shu. the road.

It turned out that twenty miles to the south of Jianmen, across several major mountains, there is a narrow path called Laisu. After crossing that narrow path, you can take another seven or eight miles to meet the official road, and the official road connects to Jianmen. . Murong Zhao was overjoyed, and after thanking the old farmer, he immediately returned to Wang Shou. When Zhao Heng heard the news, he thought about it, and sent Murongzhao to lead 10,000 people through the road to Su, attacking Jianmenguan from Shu, and attacking in two ways!

“Remember, no one is allowed to escape.”

Walking out of the big tent, Zhao Heng stared at the increasingly majestic Jianmen Pass in the night with cold eyes.

At the same time, Song Jianing suddenly woke up from the nightmare. She dreamed that the prince was shot in the right eye by a Khitan, and her face was full of blood. She dreamed that the prince kept calling her name in a coma, but she was pressed on the bed by Guo Xiao to survive. The dream was too clear, Song Jianing clutched her clothes tightly, she didn’t want to wait any longer, she just wanted to see the prince right away!

The scenes in the dream filled his mind, Song Jianing jumped off the kang flusteredly, wearing clothes in the dark. She now lives in a remote mountain hut. Wu Niang slept with her. After hearing the movement, Wu Niang woke up, rubbing her eyes dazedly and asked, “Girl?”

Song Jianing didn’t bother to speak, put on his clothes, turned around and walked out and opened the door, but saw that Ah Si had come over at some point, and the mountain stopped at the door like a mountain and did not tell her to go out.

Song Jianing threw herself down on her knees, tears bursting into her dike: “A Si, you know who I am better than anyone else. I ask myself if I am sorry, how can you bear your heart to help Chen torment me here? There is still a five-year-old daughter in my family, and The youngest son who hasn’t learned how to call the mother, I beg you, let me go to the prince!”

“Girl, my life was given by an adult, and now it is also an adult’s order, please don’t embarrass me.” Ah Si couldn’t bear her kneeling, and immediately knelt down, bowing his head and pleading. The eldest son is confused about this matter, Ah Si knows, but he also knows how hard it is for the elder to guard this love, no matter how pitiful the princess is, he will never betray the eldest son.

“I beg you…” At this point, Song Jianing could only continue to beg.

Ah Si lowered his head, clenching his teeth.

“Girl, you get up, their masters and servants don’t have a good thing, it’s not worth your knees!” Wu Niang rushed over, helped Song Jianing up, and then took a bite of Ah Si: “The girl who loses will help you speak, say You have troubles, now I can see it through, you are a black heart, I will like you only when I am blind!”

After finishing speaking, she slammed the peach wood comb that she had kept carefully on Ah Si.

Ah Si tightened her lips. Wu Niang is innocent, he likes this girl very much, but still that sentence, he can’t betray the world for a woman.

When Wu Niang was angry at Ah Si, Song Jianing held a glimmer of hope and stared at Ah Si nervously. Although Ah Si did not agree, Song Jianing noticed Ah Si’s rolling Adam’s apple and the tight back of his hand. A person who values ​​love and righteousness will not lose a little conscience. Hopefully, Song Jianing pushed away Wu Niang and knelt in front of Ah Si again.

“Why are you!” Ah Si was anxious and helpless.

Song Jianing stopped crying and just stared at him and asked: “Have you ever thought about what would the prince do to him if he loses?”

Ah Si never thought about it, because he believed that even if the rebels were defeated, the prince could retreat with his whole body and would not fall into the hands of King Shou.

He believed Guo Xiao, Song Jianing believed Zhao Heng, and pleaded bitterly: “In this way, if he wins, I will never embarrass you again. I am willing to stay here and wait for him, but if the prince wins, you send me to see the prince. No? As long as you agree, I promise that the prince will not embarrass you, and Wu Niang will forgive you…”

A Si Meifeng raised slightly, and subconsciously looked at Wu Niang who was kneeling beside Song Jianing.

Wu Niang turned her head, her little mouth pouting high.

A Si hesitated, Song Jianing cried: “You don’t think about yourself, don’t you think about him? If he is really caught by the prince, what will the prince do to him? A Si, he is my elder brother, it’s me. Brother’s eldest brother, as long as you send me to see the prince, I will beg the prince to save him…”

She kept crying, and her four heads were about to explode, and her conscience wanted to agree to this frail and feeble woman, but…

“Mother-in-law, do you agree or not?” Wu Niang suddenly pushed Ah Si violently, and said fiercely: “The princess begs you so much. If you don’t agree, I will ignore you for the rest of my life!”

Two women, one tearing can make any man feel guilty and distressed, the other is his wife who is in love with each other, and when he thinks of using a mere 5,000 people to resist the eldest son of Shouwang’s one hundred thousand army, A Siyi gritted his teeth to Song Jianing. Knocking: “If the adults are really in trouble, please remember what you said tonight.”

Song Jianing was stunned, on the one hand the ecstasy of success, on the other hand the life and death of Guo Xiao.

If Guo Xiao falls into the hands of the prince, will she beg the prince for mercy?

She won’t, because how the prince handles Guo Xiao, Guo Xiao is responsible for himself.

But Song Jianing wanted to reunite with the prince as soon as possible, so she could only lie to Ah Si.
