Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Hu Chi'er stopped, and heard a sharp sound of breaking wind behind him again, this time it came straight to the left chest, and he narrowly avoided it.
In the distance, the sound of horseshoes approaching was heard, and it was the orderly cavalry of the Changming Army.
He didn't dare to entangle him easily, the man on the opposite side of the mountain was clearly aiming at Chu Xie, and if he couldn't catch up for a while, he threatened him with flying arrows.
If it drags on any longer, it might really be detained by the Xu family.
Leave the green hills without worrying about no firewood.
Hu Chi'er felt unwilling, and finally leaned over Chu Xie and put him down.Looking at the mountain top, retreating a dozen steps, there is no Liu Ya chasing after him.
It really is Bao Chuxie.
Could it be that Xu Chunmu is so shrewd that he also knows to place an archer who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps to ambush on the opposite side of the mountain.
There is resentment in my heart, and I am extremely unwilling.
Should have fought decisively from the very beginning.
Up to now, it is difficult to attack and difficult to retreat.
We can only give up the three counties in Weixi and retreat outside Nanshan.
What a pity.
Huchier clenched his fists, and then looked at the person lying curled up on his side under the moonlight, his eyes were filled with love and hatred, and he gritted his teeth.He clearly knew that this person was always cunning and full of nonsense, so why could he always believe his evil deeds.
There was no other way to take Chu Xie away, so he had to quickly pull out the camp and retreat.
Hu Chi'er hid behind the mountain col, a flying whistle attracted a fierce horse, stepped on it and galloped away.
The sound of horseshoes was approaching, and when Deputy General Yu came galloping, he saw the figure curled up in the grass, with blood stains on his back, he lifted him up and saw that his wrist was bruised and purple, and his expression turned pale nice.
He hurriedly loaded the man onto the carriage, and threw the falcon into the air.
Deputy General Yu didn't dare to drive the carriage any faster, he wasn't sure if Chu Xie had any other injuries on his body.Therefore, after walking for more than half an hour, he just settled in the camp of Nagano County, and just as he reined in the horse, he heard the hooves of the horse rushing behind him. It was Xu Chunmu who rushed back overnight.
The bright red robe was slightly scorched, with a few black holes dotted on it, the wind was blowing, and the youthful spirit.
The tip of his nose was stained with soot, the backs of his hands were scratched, and his temple hair was a little messy.
That Junxiu face was always clean, but this time he looked really embarrassed.
Xu Chunmu saw the carriage sharp-eyed, and savagely lashed the horse with a whip. He flew up and stood on the wooden pole at the front of the carriage, and stepped into it in two steps.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chunmu looked at Deputy General Yu holding Chu Xie in his arms, and then saw that the man was pale, and hurriedly helped him up to see if he was injured anywhere.
"Yes, there are some changes."
Deputy General Yu dodged his eyes, looking very guilty, "I didn't expect that Hu Chi'er would chase north desperately, see through our escape route, and directly intercept and kill our carriage on the official road..."
Hearing this, Xu Chunmu suddenly mentioned, "And then."
"Master Chu wants me to go first, to move the rescuers..."
Xu Chunmu couldn't listen anymore, and angrily reprimanded, "He told you to leave and you left?! Do you know that he doesn't have any skills at all, and he falls there..."
"I'm sorry, it's my subordinate's dereliction of duty."
Deputy General Yu knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to make more arguments.Xu Chunmu's anger came and went quickly, and he quickly adjusted his mood. He put his hands on Chu Xie's arms one by one, and then pressed his legs, and found that the person was intact.
It's just that the wrist and shoulder blade are sprained, and they are already a little swollen.There were spots of blood oozing from his back, maybe the wound had been torn again.
Xu Chunmu knew that under such circumstances, Chu Xie had no choice but to make such a bad move. It was not that Deputy General Yu was greedy for life and fear of death, but that the situation forced him to make the most favorable decision.It was his lack of thorough planning that put Chu Xie in danger. Fortunately, everyone is fine after all.
The wound on his back must be treated quickly.
Xu Chunmu carried him off the carriage, landed on his toes lightly, and bent his knees to cushion him.Faintly feeling that there seemed to be a sharp edge behind him, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the dense forest half a mile away.
It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Is it an illusion?
Not caring much, he carried him into the camp, untied his obtrusive clothes, dipped a clean towel in the medicine, and cleaned the wounds behind him.
Then he fed a bowl of decocted soup to others.
Xu Chunmu opened the door and window, burned charcoal on the bedside, and slept on the ground, leaning against Chu Xie's bedside to watch over.I was afraid that he would suddenly have a fever at night.
Just squinting for a while, the surroundings gradually quieted down, only the sound of the two people breathing evenly, and the caressing sound of the grass blades being blown by the night wind outside the window.
Chu Xie woke up suddenly, opened his dry eyes, and didn't move his head. He vaguely saw a person beside him and reached out to grab his sleeve.
Before it was pulled, Xu Chunmu woke up as soon as he moved.
"thirsty?"
"you're back."
Chu Xie's voice was a little weak and nasal, and it sounded a bit coquettish.Xu Chunmu pulled the quilt up a bit, feeling weak in his heart: "Well, I'm back."
"Your shoulder, is it alright?"
Xu Chunmu's nose was sore, but he still smiled, "It's been a long time ago, it doesn't hurt at all."
"That's good. Don't go to war. Huchier is the wildest horse on the grassland, and it's very dangerous."
After Chu Xie said a few words, he seemed to have no strength again, and the more he spoke, the lower his voice.
Knowing that he is dangerous, you still move forward.
Xu Chunmu also argued in a low voice, light and soft: "I'm not weak, I said I will protect you."
Chu Xie's breathing gradually sank, and with the help of Xu Chunmu, he turned his body slightly and found a more comfortable position to nest.
There was still a strong nasal tone in his voice, as if he was extremely sleepy again: "Your shoulder is injured, it's such a big hole, you can't go out and fight."
Xu Chunmu raised his hand to tidy up his temples and temples, and said softly, "Don't do this again next time."
"What kind."
"Make up your own mind, play these clever tricks. What kind of person is Huchier? That is the virtuous king of the Northern Huns Zuo who was killed on the battlefield with one knife and one shot. You can easily figure it out."
"I can't figure it out, so I can figure it out."
Chu Xie muttered, raising one hand to grab Xu Chunmu's wrist, "He retreated west?"
"Well, you should retreat beyond Nanshan. Ah Xie, you have done a great job."
"Don't tell anyone..."
Chu Xie seemed to wake up a little bit, and opened his eyes a little, "Especially in Shangjing City... Let the people there die as Chu Xie."
"……why."
"I don't want to go back to that place again."
The night is like water, and the northern border is very cold in the morning and evening after autumn.Xu Chunmu held that hand and stuffed it back into the quilt: "Okay, we won't tell anyone. Dad knows you saved Beijing, so he won't drive you away. From now on, we'll stay in Beijing, where I'm not going either."
"Um……"
Chu Xie was so sleepy that he tilted his head and fell asleep in Xu Chunmu's hand.
He was very docile when he was asleep, pure and innocent like a sika deer kneeling in the forest.Can't help but think of his vicious eyes in Shangjing.
No matter what Chu Xie looks like in the eyes of others.
Since his rebirth, he has approached this person step by step, getting closer and closer, the real and vivid Chu Xie in front of him is not what he thought in the past.
Beneath his prickly exterior was a soft heart.
In his previous life, he held 30 military power but was framed for killing the county king Jiang Jingwen, and was thrown into Zhao Prison and tortured.
The first time I saw Chu Xie was when I was dying.
He brought a bowl of water to feed himself, and he couldn't even see the man's appearance when he opened his eyes.Just listen to him: "Don't worry, I will save you."
Within a few days, the Ministry of Criminal Justice found out the evidence that Chu Xie had murdered Jiang Jingwen, proving the man's capital crime and clearing himself of his grievances.
When he was released from prison, Chu Xie had committed suicide on the city wall.On the day they heard of his death, the whole city rejoiced and raised their glasses to enjoy themselves.
But Xu Chunmu remembered the bowl of water when he was dying.
He began to secretly investigate Chu Xie's life experience, and even wondered whether the crime of assassinating the county king had wronged Chu Xie.
returning a Favour many times more.It is what he has been taught for more than 20 years.
If he is wronged by others, he must reverse the case for him.
But soon, he also died.
He didn't know why he was reborn, but the stubbornness deeply pressed in his soul made him pay special attention to him. Knowing that he was still losing power in Jinyu Casino, he made up his mind to approach him.Grandfather Xu Yi taught himself since he was a child that it is better to have no books than to believe in books, and it is better to be silent than to listen to others.What kind of person this person is can only be confirmed with your own eyes.
Chu Xie, Chu Xie.
Xu Chunmu kept chewing on the name in his heart.
Looking at the nails whose tails were about to fade, Xu Chunmu felt sweet and bitter in his heart.
He is the indomitable palm print, and he is also Chu Xie who came in the middle of the night holding a basket of remnants of flowers and knocking on the door in the wind.It was Chu Xie who was obviously weak, but with a single person but thousands of horses and horses outside the northern border.
It was Chu Xie who was terrified to death, but in order to prevent his injured self from going to the battlefield, he went straight into the enemy camp without looking back.
If his guess is correct, Chu Xie must be the orphan of the Shen family who made great contributions to the founding of the country.
All the evil things he did were because of his deep hatred.
If he can be dragged out of such deep hatred.
Is it possible to save his life this time?
As Xu Chunmu thought about it, his nails sank deep into his palm unconsciously, and a few crescent-like red marks were pinched out, almost oozing blood.
"Young master."
There were three light knocks on the outer door, "The general wants you to go to the front hall now."
"It's so late at night, is there anything else to do? Why don't we wait until tomorrow..."
Xu Chunmu didn't want to leave for a moment, so he declined.
"The general said you must go, yes, there is a distinguished guest."
As if afraid that he would refuse again, the attendant added another sentence, "...he came from the capital."
Xu Chunmu's face changed suddenly.
He recruited a few maids to watch over Chu Xie carefully, and ordered someone to come to change his clothes and tie his hair. He fetched a basin of clean water to wipe off all the dust and blood on his face, neck, and hands, and restored his clean and elegant appearance.
It took only half a quarter of an hour to tidy up and rush to the front hall immediately.
From a distance, through the gaps in the leaves, I saw my father sitting on the side of the high hall, with his back facing him, standing a young man in a crow-blue cloak, with a jade crown and black hair, holding the Xuanhe that was enshrined in front of the hall. The sword bestowed by the emperor looked at it silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Chunmu only felt that the figure was somewhat familiar.
When he got closer, Xu Chunmu recognized the person from his back.
Immediately my heart became cold.
Is the prince.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Yanchi held the sword in his hand and tilted his head slightly, something flashed in his eyes, and the haze gradually formed.
But I can't see any emotion.
It was Xu Chengjin who stood up straight first, and introduced calmly to Xu Chunmu who was coming towards him: "This is His Royal Highness, I have met you soon."
Xu Chunmu folded his hands and saluted, his heart beating like a drum but he forcibly stabilized his voice: "Your Highness."
"You don't need to be too polite, I have already met Xu Xiaohou in Shangjing City." Jiang Yanchi's voice was very indifferent, "It's an old acquaintance."
The weight of these two words is extremely heavy, Xu Chengjin immediately declined: "I don't dare to be a dog."
There was a little smile on the corner of Jiang Yanchi's mouth, his eyebrows were smiling, and he gave General Xu a vacant support: "The general has made great achievements this time, and he is the top hero of the Great Wei. I am also thinking about whether to give more titles and rewards , so much courtesy, it made Yan Chi panic."
Xu Chengjin became more respectful, but he was very happy in his heart.The Xu family has always had few descendants. He is Xu Yi's only son, and there are only two sons under his knees.The eldest son, Xu Changling, will definitely inherit the position of Marquis of Zhen Guo in the future. The second son, Xu Chunmu, has been raised in the northern border. Xu Yi personally raised the youngest son, and entrusted most of the military power to him.
But in the end it is the eldest son who enjoys the blessing and the second son suffers.
It's not that the old man doesn't know.
I always feel ashamed of Xu Chunmu.Now if he can get another title, in a few years there will be peace, and Jiao Chunmu can imagine the blessing of peace and prosperity, that would be great.Lord Hou will be at ease.
"Chunmu doesn't care about these fame."
Before Xu Chengjin could suppress the joy in his heart, when he heard this sentence, he stared at Xu Chunmu to signal him to shut up.
Jiang Yanchi asked: "However, the young master has made such a great contribution to resisting 25 Xiongnu soldiers without spending a single soldier. If he doesn't reward him, wouldn't it be said that the court has treated him harshly?"
"Chunmu is rewarded by the imperial court, and it is his duty to protect his family and the country. I dare not ask for meritorious service."
Deliberately ignoring his father's face, Xu Chunmu insisted on refusing.
Jiang Yanchi wiped the sword in his hand with his fingertips, feeling the chilling chill: "Everyone wants to go to the capital, why is it that Xu Xiaohou prefers this desolate snow field, and he doesn't want to fight for a reward like your brother?" , go to the capital to enjoy the blessings."
"If everyone only knows how to have fun, who will protect the rivers and mountains, and who will guard the territory."
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes slowly.
Covering his eyes, there was a surge of darkness.
"That's right. This time the battle was fought beautifully. He was able to teach the Northern Xiong Zuo Xianwang, who ruled the northern and southern tribes, to give up the three counties and retreat to the south mountain."
"Pure Mu is ashamed..."
With a click, the sword was closed, and it was safely put back on the hall.
"I just don't know what strategy Xu Xiaohou used to use his soldiers like a god." Jiang Yanchi took up the cup, sat in front of the hall, and smelled the fragrance with the tea lid aside, as if he had no intention of doing so.
"Yujing Yunwu, good tea."
