humble minister

Lian Ying was surprised by Shi Yu's arrival, but he expected it after thinking about it.It's just that although the enemy's attack power is weak, they are superior in that there are many people. They fight and retreat, gradually approaching, and getting closer and closer to the entrance of Misty Ridge.

Although Lian Ying wanted to ask Shi Yu a lot, it was obviously not the time, so he took advantage of the moment when he was close to Yao Li and whispered to him: "Yao Li, now hurry up and find a chance to get out of Miwu Ridge and meet Li Qing They explain the situation here, and remember to make more Qingxin Pills."

"Then what about you?" Yao Li casually sprinkled a handful of poisonous powder, forcing the surrounding people not to dare to gather around.

"Me?" Lian Ying subconsciously glanced at Shi Yu who was protecting him behind him. Yao Li naturally also saw his actions, his eyes darkened, but he also knew that now was not the time to be awkward, although he didn't know why he didn't He likes the man who appeared just now, but he is sure that this man will be able to protect Lian Ying well.

"Okay, I see." Yao Li nodded, relying on the pistol in his hand and the fear of the enemy on the opposite side, he retreated to the entrance of Misty Ridge without a trace, and then unexpectedly found that the man who appeared suddenly was also covering himself.

When retreating to the entrance, Yao Li heard the man say to Lian Ying behind him: "A Ying, you go out with him."

"No." Although Lian Ying replied lightly, his tone was very firm.

Yao Li grabbed Lian Ying's hand and said, "Ah Ying, you should follow me, it's too dangerous here."

Ying Ying glanced at him without saying anything, and then still stubbornly looked at Shi Yu with "I've made up my mind".

Shi Yu really couldn't help it with his expression, and now was not the time to persuade him.Forget it, if you can go one by one...

When Lian Ying was guarded by Shi Yu, the two retreated and walked away from the pursuers and climbed the snowy mountain peak, he still hadn't recovered.

To be honest, Lian Ying had thought about where Shi Yu and his survivors hid in Misty Ridge, but he really didn't think that they would choose to hide in the snow-capped mountains.Leaving aside how cold the snow-capped mountains are, I'm afraid they don't even have enough food, and they don't know if the enemy troops will attack.

"What's the matter, but are you tired?" Shi Yu turned around and saw Lian Ying walking slowly behind him, because he lowered his head, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lian Ying came back to his senses, looked at Shi Yu who was stained with a lot of blood in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Have all of you who survived hid in this snow mountain?"

After Shi Yu listened, he looked at Lian Ying with dark eyes, pursed his lips, and was silent for a long time, but he asked inappropriately: "You shouldn't have come in, didn't Li Qing and the others tell you about the situation here?"

"It has nothing to do with them. I know it's very dangerous here, but it's my own choice whether to come or not." Lian Ying felt a little guilty when he asked this, but still looked at him stubbornly, as if Shi Yu didn't tell the situation. Knowing that he will never back down.

Shi Yu looked at him for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but in the end he just said quietly: "Forget it, since we are here, let's come. But when we get to the place, I will tell you what happened in the past few days." matter."

Lian Ying followed Shi Yu for about half an hour before arriving at the destination - a cave on the mountainside of the Snow Mountain Peak.

This cave doesn't look big from the outside, and it looks like there can be more than [-] people staying in it, but when you really go in, after walking a short distance, you suddenly realize that the space inside is actually very large, and it's not like the one outside. Both the road surface and the walls were covered with a thin layer of ice, but it was not cold in here, and it was still very dry.

Moreover, Lian Ying also saw a lot of people gathered in the cave. These people were lying or sitting, doing their own things silently, some were resting, some were healing their wounds, and the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood and strong wounds. Medicinal.When these people saw Shi Yu who came in, they all saluted respectfully, even those who couldn't stand up, they all saluted with attention, except for those who fell asleep or fainted, but all of them had one thing in common ——They all looked exhausted, but they clearly still had a shred of hope.

In the end, the two came to a relatively secluded place, but the place was not too dry, but Lian Ying didn't care, after all, he knew that those dry places were reserved for those who were injured.

Just when Lian Ying was about to sit down, Shi Yu grabbed his arm, and then quickly took off his outer shirt under his puzzled eyes and spread it on the floor, smoothed it out before letting Lian Ying sit down. sit down.

"Aren't you cold?" Lian Ying felt inexplicably distressed seeing him wearing only a thin obscene clothes, this person is really...

Shi Yu took a look at him, sat behind him with a blank face, encircled his body from behind, two slender and straight long legs drew him into a prison, and rested his head on his shoulders, and at this moment Lian Ying only heard him whisper in her ear: "It's not cold anymore."

Well, this person is really a little shameless.

Lian Ying complained silently in her heart, but the tips of her ears gradually turned red. When Shi Yu lowered her eyes, she could see the faint pink on the tips of those snow-white ears. Think about something.

"Did you spend the cold night by relying on these bonfires on the ground these days?"

Lian Ying's question brought back Shi Yu's drifting thoughts in a timely manner. Shi Yu looked along the place pointed by his finger, and saw several piles of black ash on the ground that were about to be wiped out.

"That's right. During the day, those who can still move and have strong willpower will sneak down the snowy mountains to find some dry firewood and other things that can be burned in the misty forest. At night, they will rely on these things to survive the night."

"Then...how did you guys get here these days?" Lian Ying took a deep breath and let it out slowly, before asking this question again, but his heart was extremely heavy, he knew too well how to survive in such an environment It must be extremely difficult.

Shi Yu glanced at him, unconsciously hugged him a little tighter, looked at the tired faces of the surviving subordinates in the cave, and said slowly, "Then let's start from five days ago..."

The beginning of the whole incident was similar to what Lian Ying had expected. Five days ago, under the pressure of the government, Shi Yu had no choice but to lead his troops deep into this misty mountain that he knew was tricky.Everyone who just entered Misty Ridge was fine, except for the thick white mist covering their sight and they had to guard against enemy sneak attacks, everything else was normal, but the deeper they went into Misty Ridge, more and more people felt dizzy , It was very uncomfortable, and even gradually produced hallucinations. Shi Yu had no choice but to let these soldiers who felt unwell stay in place for a while to recover, and sent some people to stay to protect them, while he continued to go deeper with the rest.

Although Shi Yu also knew that the most taboo is to separate the troops when marching and fighting, but in such a situation where nothing is clear, the whole army stops and it is really possible for the whole army to be wiped out, so he made such a choice.

When the advance army of 2000 people actually arrived at the place where Lian Ying and the others found many corpses, there were only more than 1000 people left in the whole army, and at this time the enemy launched an attack.Although Shi Yu was well organized at that time, and those who marched first were also very powerful, but most of the people on their own side were dizzy, but the other side came well prepared, so this first and last fight was quite intense.

But what made Shi Yu even more chilling was that there were still some people in his own army who seemed to be killing each other as if they were the enemy.It was at this time that Shi Yu realized that there might be something permeating the air in the Misty Ridge that could confuse people's minds. In the end, he had no choice but to lead the remaining people, who were less than [-], to the snow-capped mountain.

"Didn't those enemy troops catch up?" Lian Ying couldn't help asking when he heard this.

Shi Yu glanced at him, then looked forward with deep eyes, looked at the white snow field outside the cave, and said indifferently: "If we can kill our army without a single soldier, who would care whether it is by hand or not?" Get rid of it."

It turned out that the enemy's real idea was to trap them to death on this snow-capped mountain. It seemed that not only the shaman of the Northern Qiang was amazing, but also the commander was extraordinary.

"Then how did you survive the past few days?"

"We were also lucky after climbing the snow-capped mountains. We quickly found such a place where we could take shelter from the wind and snow, and then let the injured people heal and rest here. The road to the outside world, the other way is to go down the mountain and carefully search for dry firewood, hay and other things that can pass the night." Shi Yu paused here, then tilted his head, and gently rubbed Lian Ying's temples, with a faint smile The voice said, "Fortunately, I am the second road, otherwise I would not have met you."

Lian Ying was stunned for a moment by Shi Yu's actions, for some reason he always felt that Shi Yu had really changed a bit, as if he treated him better.But how could he forget about him in this way?annoying...

Shi Yu looked at Lian Ying's slightly frowning brows, not knowing what he was thinking, so he could only ask the question he had always wanted to ask: "Are you looking for me this time to fulfill the original half-year agreement?"

"Naturally." Lian Ying came back to his senses, looked up slightly into Shi Yu's dark eyes and said earnestly.

Shi Yu smiled and joked, "But you're late."

"Isn't it just a little bit late? Anyway, I finally agreed to you." Lian Ying refused to accept, and even questioned Shi Yu with a little childishness, which made Shi Yu's eyes smile even deeper, and he blushed when he realized it. .It seems that only in front of Shi Yu will he have such a childish side, it's not good, it's not good, alas.

"Then who is the one who is following you?" Shi Yu thought of the man in red he saw at that time, it seemed that he was also protecting Lian Ying.

Originally, Lian Ying was worried that Shi Yu would ask himself why he insisted on entering this Misty Ridge, but unexpectedly he asked Yao Li first, and he was slightly taken aback before saying: "That is the friend I made on the road, he is one of the four sons Mr. Yaoli."

It turned out to be Little Yaoxian, Shi Yu was stunned, and then seeing Lian Ying pretending to be indifferent but looking at him nervously, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You think I'm going to ask you why you came in?"

Lian Ying froze, and when he pursed his lips and didn't know what to say, he heard Shi Yu's smiling voice whispering in his ear: "You don't need to ask, I know that dog-headed military officer Li Qing very well."

At this moment, Li Qing in the barracks sneezed abruptly, causing Jiang Chongzheng and Yao Li, who were discussing important matters with him, to look at him together, and then saw this man wipe his nose calmly and look at Jiang Chongzheng Said: "Idiot, you have to protect me after the prince comes back."

A military general known as a "nerd" expressed a look of bewilderment, and shook off a layer of goose bumps by the way.

Lian Ying nodded, not only relieved that Shi Yu didn't ask questions, but also a little bit disappointed that he couldn't explain clearly, but he quickly collected himself and asked: "I don't know if those who went to the snow-capped mountains to find a way out What discovery?"

"Not at the moment." Shi Yu smiled, and his expression became serious, "And those of us can't last long, not to mention that those who have been seriously injured can't get good treatment, even diet has become a problem For the past five days, we have survived by drinking the blood and eating the meat of war horses, but how can there be so many war horses? If we can’t find a way out or wait for rescue, maybe we really want to eat human flesh raw gone."

Shi Yu glanced at the subordinates whose morale was low, and suddenly said: "It's just that since they haven't given up hope, I won't give up easily either. At worst, I'll take someone out to fight them."

Lian Ying saw that Shi Yu's eyes were full of recklessness, and he looked at death as if he had come home. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to cover Shi Yu's palm that was folded in front of him, and comforted him a little awkwardly: "No, I won't. The final ending can't be that bad, I have already asked Yao Li to spread the news here..."

Immediately afterwards, Lian Ying also told Shi Yu what he knew about the Huzhucao and the identity of the Northern Qiang witch, and told him that as long as he persisted for a while, when Yao Li made enough Qingxin Pill, I believe someone would Lead troops to rescue them.

"So that's how it is. I still don't know what confused my mind." After hearing the news from him, Shi Yu figured out some things. No wonder those Northern Qiang enemy troops didn't catch up. On the one hand, on the other hand, I am afraid that the sorcerer can also make the Qingxin Pill, but because the medicine is only effective for an hour, it is "poor and not to be chased".

"It seems that the saying that those who can stop the clouds win the world is indeed true." So far, Shi Yu's gloom these days has finally subsided, and he even made a joke about Lian Ying, which made Lian Ying still stare at him childishly. , couldn't help but be more happy.

In fact, at first, he just admired Mr. Tingyun very simply, but after getting along or being separated for half a year, he missed Lianying himself very much. He thought of him more than that person, and when he saw When it comes to him, they want to tease him more, which is really strange, Shi Yu thought.

The conversation between the two didn't last long, and soon a soldier came to Shi Yu and said respectfully: "General, we found a small road, but we don't know where it leads to. Please come and ask the general to go and find it."

Shi Yu and Lian Ying glanced at each other with an inexplicable expression in their eyes.
