Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 679

The attack came very suddenly, and Wei Tuo didn't realize that his group was really careless until the moment when the cold arrow came.

Probably since he left Ganjingzhuang, he has been followed by people all the way.

It wasn't until they successfully found new grains and planned to return to Ganjingzhuang that the enemy ambushed in the canyon and dealt a severe blow.

Wei Tuo didn't know which force the enemy in front of him came from, and what purpose he had. He only knew that today was a life-and-death crisis, which belonged to Zi Nu as well as his own.

Regardless of other things first, only by sending Zi Nu away can he feel at ease, and only then can he calmly kill the enemy.

Behind the boulder, after rounds of cold arrows, the arrows finally stopped, and more than [-] men in black clothes and black scarves came out slowly from behind the stone.

Wei Tuo stared at them with red eyes, and said sharply, "Who are you waiting for, and what are you trying to do!"

More than twenty people did not speak, and swung their knives to kill Wei Tuo and others.

Wei Tuo was fearless and stepped forward.

The two sides collided fiercely like two torrents.

As soon as they handed over, Wei Tuo and others were at a disadvantage, and were about to fight to the death, when they suddenly found that the other party split up to a dozen people, riding in the direction where Zi Nu left.

Wei Tuo instantly understood that they were coming for Zi Nu.

"Fight it!" Wei Tuo roared with angry eyes, swept across with a knife, then grabbed a horse, turned on his back, and chased in the direction Zi Nu left.

The enemy was also merciless, and shot a cold arrow at Wei Tuo on horseback.

…………

After running for more than ten miles, Zi Nu finally woke up from the jolt of the horse when he was approaching the gate of Qingzhou City.

Turning her head, she saw an attendant carefully supporting her shoulders and galloping towards the gate of Gyeongju City.

Zi Nu blinked, regained his sanity immediately, and said coldly: "Where are Wei Tuo and the others?"

"Your Highness, are you awake? Wei Tuo and the others are still staying in the canyon..."

Zi Nu understood, and said loudly: "Stop!"

The entourage reined in the horse, and Zi Nu kicked the entourage off the horse, and said angrily: "They are all brothers, and we agreed to live and die together. How can we abandon our lieutenants and entrust them to them? Go back and fight the enemy!"

The entourage was anxious: "Your Highness can't, Wei Tuo risked his life to protect us..."

Before he finished speaking, Zi Nu slapped him on the face with a whip, and said coldly: "If you talk nonsense, Wei Tuo is really hopeless!"

He was about to turn the horse's head, but the whipped attendant still held on to the horse's rein, stubbornly motionless.

Zi Nu was furious and raised his hand to continue whipping the whip, but seeing the resolute and unshakable stubborn face of his entourage, Zi Nu silently put down the whip and sighed: "The front is the gate of Qingzhou City, let's go to the city quickly. How about asking the guards to send troops to help?"

Only then did the attendant let go: "Okay."

The process of negotiation was not complicated. Li Qinzai had given her an ivory waist badge to represent her identity long ago. Besides, Li Qinzai is now famous all over the world, and everyone knows it.

After confirming the waist card, the guard of Qingzhou City mobilized more than two hundred cavalry without hesitation, followed Zi Nu out of the city, and galloped towards the canyon.

Speeding all the way, running for more than ten miles, he met a man and a horse head-on. Zi Nu looked from a distance, but it was Wei Tuo.

Wei Tuo lay powerlessly on the horse's back, with an arrow sticking out of his back. Behind him, there were more than a dozen horsemen chasing him, and from time to time they shot one or two cold arrows at Wei Tuo.

Zi Nu was in a hurry, and said to the guard: "They are the ones who ambushed us, hurry up!"

The guard waved his hand, and more than [-] cavalry behind him immediately outflanked from the left and right, and several spears were thrown from the hands of the cavalry.

More than a dozen enemies chasing Wei Tuo saw hundreds of people coming from Wuyangyang, and suddenly knew something was wrong, so they turned their horses and fled in all directions, while more than two hundred cavalrymen divided their troops and chased after them.

Wei Tuo had already run up to Zi Nu, but the horse didn't know if he was frightened or not, so he ran towards Zi Nu without thinking.

Zi Nu has been wandering for many years and has practiced excellent riding skills. When he saw this, he immediately fell from the side of the horse and kept walking side by side with Wei Tuo. Then he leaned over and grabbed the rein. After a long time, Wei Tuo's The horse finally stopped, snorting uneasily, pawing the ground non-stop.

Helping the unconscious Wei Tuo off the horse, Zi Nu looked at the arrow stuck in Wei Tuo's back and couldn't help but feel extremely distressed, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"Weituo, wake up!" Zi Nu called out.

Wei Tuo tried his best to open his eyes, seeing Zi Nu squatting in front of him with tears streaming down his face, he couldn't help but smiled in relief.

"Your Highness is safe... I feel relieved." Wei Tuo said weakly.

"Stop talking, I'll send someone to call for a doctor, you..."

"The arrow has already penetrated into the lungs, it can't be saved," Wei Tuo said with a cool smile, "From now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany His Highness to wander around the world..."

Zi Nu burst into tears.

In these years, whether he was wandering around or living under the Tubo Ludongzan family, Wei Tuo always accompanied her, protected her, and had no complaints or regrets.

Zi Nu has always regarded him as her own elder brother in her heart. She thought that there might be life and death in this life, but she never thought that it would be death.

At the beginning, we traveled around the world together, saw mountains and rivers, ate and drank until we were old, and the jokes were still in our ears, but the people withered.

"Wei Tuo, you want to live, do you hear me? You want to live!" Zi Nu sternly said.

Wei Tuo struggled to breathe the air with his mouth wide open, but his vision became more and more blurred, Zi Nu in front of him was like a dream like fog.

With a regretful smile on the corner of his mouth, Wei Tuo sighed lightly: "Your Highness...Actually, I, I treat you..."

Zi Nu looked at him in tears.

Wei Tuo said halfway, but stopped abruptly.

The words that had been buried for half his life could not be uttered after all.

She already has a good match, so why tell her, it will make her feel guilty for half her life, and disturb her peace for the rest of her life.

Those thousands of turns of affection can only be replaced by a sentence of "that's all".

Reluctantly looking at her for the last time, Wei Tuo slowly closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

Accompanied by this life for a journey, the meaning is difficult, but there is no regret.

…………

Ganjingzhuang.

Li Zhi came very suddenly.

Ever since Li Qinzai said that it was possible to solve the people's hunger worries, Li Zhi had trouble sleeping and eating. He hadn't slept well in the past few days. He was looking forward to hearing good news from Li Qinzai every day in the Tai Chi Palace.

However, the days passed day by day, and the city of Chang'an was turbulent, the courtiers were restless, and Nestorianism was also secretly stirring up trouble.

Li Zhi finally couldn't take it anymore, he hated this kind of passive waiting.

So he resolutely ordered to go out of the palace in micro-clothes, and went straight to Ganjingzhuang.

There is a faint expectation in his heart, he hopes that he can witness an important and great moment with his own eyes.

At the entrance of the blocked village, following the performance of Li Sujie, a dramatist, the Nestorians had already dispersed.

The news was also sent to Li Zhi. Of course, whether Li Sujie was injured or not, Li Zhi also heard the truthful report from the guards.

This son is a bit over the top, but I have to say that he did give Li Zhi a good reason.

Raiding the county marquis's courtyard and assassinating the prince, the crazier the Nestorian religion was, the closer it was to being destroyed.

In the city of Chang'an, Xu Jingzong was planning, and when the dust settled here in Li Qinzai, the day to liquidate Nestorianism would arrive.
