Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

Day and night, morning and evening interlaced one after another, and five days and nights passed by in turn.

A group of flying riders galloped across the wilderness, the night dew was just falling, and the moon was shining brightly.

The wind was so loud that the eyes of the royal guards following behind were all red from the wind.However, the two riders at the front were still flying fast, whistling through the mountains and forests like flying arrows.

"stop!"

The guards reined in their horses immediately as if they had received an amnesty.More than ten horses immediately knelt down on their front legs and shook the man off.

Wang Ting's guards were only responsible for sending Xie Gui back to Tingyun Pass, and without waiting for Xie Gui's order, they began to set up camp and light a fire, preparing to rest.

Correspondingly, there are two horses still standing upright in front.

Xin Chen, the dead man, dismounted first.His horse was also overwhelmed, neighed a few times and went looking for water.

"Is the son okay?"

Xie Gui was still riding on the horse, his eyes were slightly closed, his shoulders were leaning forward slightly, his eyes were faintly blue and black.

Seeing that his lips were pale, Xin Chen didn't dare to urge him, until Xie Gui took a deep breath and said "it's okay" before he dared to stretch out his hand.

Xie Gui's movements were very slow, and Xin Chen didn't dare to rush him, even breathing carefully.

Xie Gui first put his hands on Xin Chen's shoulders, exerted light force, gritted his teeth and stepped on the stirrup tightly, the whole person rolled over the horse's back and fell back to the ground leaning on Xin Chen.

His movements were very clumsy, but none of the guards behind him laughed at him.

The horse Yeluzhuo gave Xie Gui was the best, and he was overwhelmed at this time, so he walked to the side to rest.With Xie Gui on his arm, Xin Chen moved in small steps, and found a clean place to rest.

Xie Gui couldn't move his legs, Xin Chen broke a branch for him to bite, and gently lifted the hem of his clothes.

The dark black noble clothes of the Zhai people smelt faintly of blood.Xin Chen didn't dare to be careless, and slowly opened the inside with the tip of the knife, and took out the medicine bottle.

"Young master, hold on."

Seeing his pale face, Xin Chen couldn't help telling him.Here in the wilderness, if something goes wrong with the wound and the injury worsens, he doesn't have to go back to see King Yan.

Xie Gui still had the strength to laugh: "...It's okay, just a little injury, you can just do it."

Hurrying like crazy for several days in a row, even this group of warriors couldn't bear it, let alone Xie Gui.

The inner sides of both legs were worn blood red, but Xie Gui didn't stop, and asked Xin Chen to apply medicine to him, and the next day, he tied up the wound and continued on his way.

When Xin Chen saw the wound, his hands trembled, fearing that if he had to drive for two days, his legs would be worn out.

The previous clothes were full of blood and could no longer be worn.Xin Chen asked Jin Wei for another suit, and changed it for Xie Gui.

This has already tossed away more than half an hour.Seeing that the moon was in the middle of the sky, it was midnight again.Xin Chen fed Xie Gui some water, and just as he put the water bag away, he turned his head and fell asleep.

The wound hurts so much, yet sleeps so fast.

Xin Chen no longer knew what expression to use to face Xie Gui.

In the first ten days of August, Yandi still had the scorching heat of midsummer, but it was already cold outside the pass, especially at night.

The forest shadows are sparse, the grass is yellowish, and the night wind is hoarse and lingers.Xie Gui was curled up in the fur cloak, his consciousness was fuzzy, and he unconsciously tightened it tightly into the fur cloak.

About halfway through Yinshi, Xin Chen was woken up by the wind, his hands and feet were numb from sleep, and he got up to move around.

Xie Gui was still in a deep sleep, Xin Chen touched his forehead, it was lucky that he didn't have any fever.

Even when he fell asleep, Xie Gui still lay on his side, with his ears pressed to the ground, and even did what the royal court guards should do.Not far away, there were a few guards on watch, looking at Xie Gui with awe.

The guards didn't think much of Xie Gui at first, they just obeyed the crown prince's order with a very perfunctory attitude.But Xie Gui has always been decisive and ruthless, and after getting along for only one day, the guards had nothing to say, and obediently followed Xie Gui on his way.

Xie Gui dared to be so cruel to him, they had no choice but to obey.

Xin Chen rummaged through the medicines, preparing for emergencies, but saw Xie Gui sitting up suddenly, his eyes bright.

When he got up together, the guards were also startled, all at a loss.Xie Gui spoke a few words to them in Zhai people's language, only to see the other party's hesitant expression.

"What's the matter, Mr. Xie?"

Xin Chen was also taken aback, only to hear Xie Gui say coldly: "Someone is coming."

The night guard also bent down and listened for a while, his expression became more serious, and he nodded to his companion.

The place where they camped was the edge of the deep forest, and to the east was a large wilderness.The guards hid the horses and put out the bonfires.Xin Chen brought Xie Gui back, hiding behind a tall ancient tree.

After about a stick of incense, the dull sound of horseshoes came closer.Xie Gui looked from a distance, and saw about a hundred people galloping towards them, and slowed down near them.

Seeing that the group was about to go far away, the leader suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed back with the team.

The man gave an order, and half of his men went into the forest and captured the guards who hadn't reacted yet.

The situation was not right, Xin Chen brought Xie Guifei into the dense branches of ancient trees, but it was the limit.

The procession of speeding by the moonlight lighted the torches well-trained, illuminating the faces of the leaders.

Xie Gui's heart sank suddenly.

It turned out to be alone.

Calculating the time, Xie Gui was only half a day behind him, and it was reasonable to run into Dugu Zhu after driving all the way.

But Xie Gui didn't want to see this at all.

Dugu Zhu is the big trouble he wants to solve.Now there is only one dead soldier beside him, and he is still injured, so he is not an opponent at all.

Last time Dugu wanted to dedicate them to the royal court, so they spared their lives. It might not be such good luck to meet again this time.

Under the ancient wood, the tense atmosphere at the beginning suddenly relaxed after recognizing the identities of the two parties.

The guards of the royal court are also soldiers, and they belong exclusively to the Yelu royal family, so their status is a little higher.However, there are contacts in various ministries in private, and there are even many acquaintances in it.

Dugu didn't stop his subordinates from exchanging feelings, but rode straight on the horse and looked around.

After a while, the humming voice subsided, Dugu turned his horse's head one by one, and looked carefully at the deep forest.

Xie Gui's heart skipped a beat.At the same time, Dugu also saw the bloody coat at the root of the tree.

Zhai men are generally strong and tall, and they can't fit in such thin clothes.

There are also a group of guards from the royal court beside him, and he knows who it is after thinking about it.

Dugu Zhu spoke to Lin Zi triumphantly, "Xie, young master, did you see me, or did I find you?"

At the end, I added a sentence: "I will look for you, but I am not as gentle as the people of Dashun."

The subordinate had already handed over a long knife, which was bloody and hadn't been wiped clean.

He was aggressive, Xie Gui still looked at him calmly, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Dugu chased these hundreds of people, they must be the vanguard, the army is still elsewhere.

Where did the blood come from?It's not always because of a bad mood that he takes the knife.

Dugu Zhu didn't give him any time, and shouted loudly in fluent Dashun official dialect: "Young Master Xie, don't be shy, come out quickly, so that the general will love you."

The soldiers behind him could only understand part of it, but they understood what the general meant, and started laughing cooperatively, the laughter was extremely obscene.

Xie Gui was disgusted for a while, and Dugu Zhu said loudly: "Don't be in a hurry to separate the relationship between the two of us. You have given me a token of love, and you still want to deny it?"

Speaking of the golden saber in the bag, Xie Gui suddenly became angry and moved his feet.

Duguzhu only needs this one chance.

"My lord, be careful!"

Xin Chen screamed and hugged him to hide.Duguzhu was as swift as a flying swallow, stepping through several layers of branches, and slashing with his knife.

Dugu's saber technique opened and closed, Xin Chen hid in a panic, and brought Xie Gui back, gradually retreating.

Xin Chen only had a short knife, so he hid very hard, blood came out from the tiger's mouth.Duguzhu was having fun, like a cat teasing a mouse, so excited that he couldn't control himself.

The soldiers laughed.The royal guards only had the task of escorting Xie Gui, and Xin Chen's opponent was Dugu Zhu, so he turned a blind eye and didn't intend to intervene.

Xin Chen's eyes were red, but he was not Dugu's opponent, and was kicked out by Dugu who was tired of playing.He stretched out his hand again, grabbed Xie Gui's collar, dragged him out of the woods, and threw him on the horse's back.

"Done alone!"

Xin Chen fell to the ground and couldn't get up, Xie Gui was furious, and blurted out calling him by his first name in Di people's language.

Dugu Zhuzhu was taken aback for a moment, then turned his chin, squeezed it ambiguously, and said in Zhai language: "You can call him whatever you want, there will be plenty of time for you to call him in the future."

Surrounded by the soldiers, there was another burst of laughter.Xie Gui was so angry that his face flushed, Dugu Zhu carried the long knife, complacently: "From now on, the Dugu Department will be mine. With this kind of background, is he not worthy of Princess Yan's son?"

Xie Gui saw that the soldiers around him were all surprised, and there was a lot of discussion, and his heart couldn't help but cool down.

Yeluzhuo is in charge of the matters in the royal court, and the palace people will not spread them indiscriminately. At most, outsiders know that Yeluyan's son has appeared, and Xie Gui can't match up.

Everyone in Dugu's subordinates knew his origin, and it was a certainty that he had publicized it like this. It was passed on by word of mouth, how could he go back to be Fengzhang's staff?

Xie Gui's face was ashen, and the fingertips pinching Dugu Zhu's wrist slowly let go.

Dugu Zhu was well versed in tricks to attack the heart, and patted his shoulder lovingly.

He turned his horse's head around, his figure suddenly became shorter, and he swung the long knife backhand, blocking an arrow.

The angle of this arrow is very tricky, if it were someone else, the arrow would have penetrated his neck.

Quite vicious and sophisticated archery.

Dugu Zhu shouted sharply, turned his head, another arrow flew past the tip of his nose.

He felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless, and he was even more frightened when he heard the whistling wind in his ears.

Not one, but three arrows!

The second narrowly escaped, and the third was not so lucky, piercing straight through his left arm.

Dugu Zhu didn't know where the person who drew the bow got so much strength, the arrow sank deep into the flesh and blood.In a rage, he simply chopped off the arrow tail.

Before he could yell and curse, another arrow flew towards him.With 12 points of vigilance, he got off his horse and hid behind the horse.

Dugu Zhu's intuition was very accurate, because what came this time was not a single arrow, but a rain of arrows.

Wang Ting's guards were far away, and few of them were stabbed, and they retreated in harmony with each other.Duguzhu's subordinates were not so lucky, many of them were tied into straw figures on the spot and died instantly.

Arrow Rain rushed towards the men behind Dugu.When he realized this, he tentatively exposed his head, and an arrow whizzed past, rubbing his forehead with burning pain.

Someone is targeting him.

Realizing this, Dugu Zhu immediately shouted loudly: "Who is this person, report your name!"

He used Dashun's official dialect, but no one answered.After a while, his vanguard troops were almost dead, and there were not many guards left in the royal court.

Only then did someone sneer in the direction where the rain of arrows came.

Hearing this, Dugu got angry, grabbed the long knife, and wanted to find a chance to go up and catch someone.The opponent's figure was even faster, as soon as he poked his head out, the sharp sword struck the top of his head.

Dugu Zhu felt cold all over his body which was rare.

Those were a pair of extremely cold eyes.
