The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

Guan Shan is far and heavy, wearing stars and wearing moons.

Chu Qingxi and a group of three escaped from Hulao City by chance, and immediately rushed to Niutouyu without stopping.The terrain of Niutou Valley is precipitous, named after its shape resembling a bull's head, it has always been easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The guard Guli Hu'er used to kill [-] prisoners of war, and all the three armies were terrified by his cruelty. Since then, he became famous in the first battle. The Song army was timid when they heard his name, and they all ran away when they saw his flag.

On this day, Chu Qingxi and the other three came to the vicinity of Niutouyu, running around for days and nights, which made Qi Yun's expression not very good.The potbellied body really added to her burden, coupled with the bumps on the horse's back, it made her dizzy and miserable.

Seeing that she was quite uncomfortable, Zhao Ning discussed with Chu Qingxi to give her as much rest as possible.It's just that in this way, she must slow down her pace. Although Chu Qingxi was burning with anxiety, she also knew that if Qiyun was forced to go on the road, Qiyun might have moved before she reached Daomaguan. Fetal gas.

"Qiyun, how is your body? Can you still hold on?" Zhao Ning looked at Qiyun worriedly and asked.

"Princess, Qiyun has dragged you down." Qiyun's face was a little pale, she hugged her huge belly with both hands, and said with a wry smile: "It was originally Qiyun who served you, but now she has become a burden instead."

Zhao Ning covered her mouth with his hand, and said angrily: "How to say such unreasonable words!" A trace of sadness appeared on her face: "If it wasn't for you that day, I'm afraid I would have died."

Qi Yun said with tears in her eyes: "What did the princess say again? The so-called master humiliated his ministers to death. Although Qi Yun is a woman, she also understands this truth. Don't say that she is marrying for the princess, even if she wants Qi Yun to die immediately. Yun never said a word of no."

Chu Qingxi was moved when she saw the deep affection between her master and servant. She took some drinking water and dry food from the horse and handed them to the two of them, saying: "Hurry up and eat some, there is Niutouyu in front of you. I don't know how dangerous it is. If The gold medal given by Yelu Qiluo is useless, so we can only force our way in."

She frowned and looked at Yu Qilin, and said sadly: "Other people and horses can pretend to be, but its appearance is really helpless! If there is still a long way to go to Daomaguan, I really wish I could send it away immediately. It also saves a lot of trouble.”

Zhao Ning said: "This kind of dragon horse and BMW is naturally of outstanding quality. Wouldn't it be a pity to abandon it so easily?" She pondered for a while, and then said: "Qingxi, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work. Impossible."

Chu Qingxi said: "Speaking of which, let's discuss it."

Zhao Ning said: "The three of us have a big goal, not to mention that the jade unicorn and Chasing the Wind are too eye-catching. The Empress Dowager Xiao sent people to follow up, and they will definitely draw the images of all of us and hand them over to the checkpoints along the way for strict investigation. , so the bigger the target, the more obvious the exposed traces will be." She paused, and then said: "Now we might as well divide into two groups, Qi Yunqi and I chase the wind first, Qingxi you and Yu Qilin are in the rear. If the two of us can pass, then I will wait for you at Pingcheng Temple ten miles away. You will be able to get away easily without the burden of the two of us alone; and if Qi Yun and I are discovered first, then you will be behind It happens to be able to rescue the two of us. At that time, we will have to fight recklessly anyway, so let's fight them desperately."

Hearing what she said, Chu Qingxi felt quite reasonable, so she turned around and asked Qi Yun, "What do you think?"

Qi Yun said: "This is indeed a solution. It's just—" She was a little uneasy: "The princess and I will go first, without Miss Chu's escort, wouldn't it be possible to personally risk a thousand pieces of gold, which makes Qi Yun really uncomfortable. "

Zhao Ning waved his hand and said, "I'm a princess who has lost power. I'm not worth a fortune. Since this method is feasible, let's do it." She grabbed some dirt from the ground, and then spread it on With a smile on his face, he said to Qi Yun: "Fortunately, this carriage was left behind earlier, and now let me pretend to be a leper, so as to save my dignity from being shown in front of others."

Qi Yun nodded and said: "This plan is very good. Ordinary people hear that it is leprosy, and they will definitely stay away. This way, there will be less interrogation, so as not to miss the trick."

Zhao Ning put his arms around Chu Qingxi's slender waist, looked up at her and said, "On the contrary, you are really eye-catching with the jade unicorn, but you have to be careful."

Chu Qingxi responded with a smile: "As long as the two of you can get out of Niutouyu safely, Yu Qilin and I, you don't have to worry."

Knowing her ability, Zhao Ning was relieved immediately, and the three of them ate some food randomly to fill their stomachs, and they split up according to the plan.

At noon, Niutouyu.

The sun shone on the city gate, making the city guards who had had a full meal at noon drowsy.This Niutouyu is the second checkpoint on the Song-Liao border, and all merchants and horse teams have to pass through it. Therefore, although it is a border guard, it does have a sense of prosperous business.

A carriage drawn by three horses came over in a hurry, and the driver was a pregnant woman with disheveled hair and no face.The horse on the left is also quite tall, half a head taller than the two horses next to it, but its body is spotted and its hair is messy, and it looks a little depressed.

"Stop!", the guarding soldiers shouted impatiently.Just a little sleepy, this short-sighted carriage appeared at this time, and the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help cursing secretly in their hearts: "Who is there? Where is the passer-by?", he asked, reaching out to provoke When I opened the curtain of the car, I saw that the inside was pitch black, and the heavy curtain covered the inside of the car airtight. I could only see a person lying inside, with a thick layer of unidentifiable plaster smeared on his face, sinking himself. fall asleep.

"Oh, Lord Jun, please go a little farther away. My sister-in-law is in this car. It's a pity that she got leprosy. If she catches the wind, the leprosy will be contagious!" The pregnant woman driving the car cried. : "My man is not at home. My sister-in-law is ill. I am a helpless woman. I finally borrowed a carriage. I am going to take her to the doctor for medical treatment."

When the city guard heard that it was leprosy, he suddenly took a big step away, fearing that he might be infected: "Leprosy? Your mother, go quickly! Let me go!" He waved his hands indiscriminately, as if to It was like driving away invisible things: "Quickly, let this woman go away! Damn it, leprosy!", he spat on the ground and said bitterly.

Hearing his greeting like this, the other soldiers guarding the city would naturally not step forward to question him again, instead they avoided the road and let the carriage pass smoothly.After passing the city gate, the pregnant women who drove the carriage did not dare to relax, and drove the carriage for another four or five miles, Fang Zi stopped in a small forest, and whispered: "Princess, we are coming out. "

Hearing the sound, a young girl came out of the carriage, looked at the surrounding scenery far away, then let out a long breath, and said in a low voice: "I really scared me to death just now. If you weren't alert, I'm afraid you'd have to endure a lot of interrogation." ", she looked back at the way she came here: "I don't know what happened to her, but I hope she is safe and well."

These two people were Zhao Ning and Qi Yun in disguise. In order to avoid showing their traces as much as possible, they separated from Chu Qingxi's soldiers and took the first step.Now that they were lucky enough to escape, they couldn't help but still worry about the safety of Chu Qingxi.

"Miss Chu is superb in martial arts, and the jade unicorn is such a steed. She will definitely be able to pass through the barrier. Princess, it's not too late. Let's go to Pingcheng Temple to wait for her as we agreed with Miss Chu in advance."

Zhao Ning nodded in agreement, then turned to Qi Yun and said, "Come and rest in the carriage as soon as it is safe and sound, and I will drive the carriage."

Qi Yun was about to resign, but Zhao Ning said solemnly: "Now is an extraordinary time, don't pay attention to those vain etiquette anymore. The future is unknown, you should take the time to rest, and if you need to be exhausted, what will happen to your body? be able to stand!"

Qi Yun knew that what he said was justified, so she didn't refuse any more immediately.Zhao Ning waited for her to enter the carriage and lie down, then made a special trip to hug Zhuifeng's big head and whispered in his ear: "Zhuifeng, Zhuifeng, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, I have to make you look ugly, don't be annoyed. Wait for us It's safe, I will definitely clean you up and dress you up, do you agree?"

The horse seemed to be spiritual, and seemed to understand her words.It touched her face lightly, even if it wiped away the previous sluggishness.Zhao Ning was overjoyed when he saw it, so he couldn't help kissing it, and said with a smile: "Good horse, you are really smart."

After appeasing "Chasing the Wind", Zhao Ning immediately took off his rein - such a dragon horse, how can it be confused with a cart horse for a long time.She turned over and rode on "Chasing the Wind", making it always walk in front of the carriage.The dragon horse was in front, and the jujube horses pulling the cart naturally followed behind, heading straight for Pingcheng Temple.

It is said that Chu Qingxi rode a jade unicorn and followed Zhao Ning's chariot and horses from a distance. Seeing them pass the test smoothly, he couldn't help feeling a big stone in his heart fall safely.Now, it was time to test herself.

"I hope Empress Dowager Xiao's reaction is not so fast." Chu Qingxi secretly thought.She collected herself, leaned over and patted "Jade Qilin" on the neck, and whispered in her ear: "When you see something is wrong, you will rush forward, you know?"

Yu Qilin turned his head and licked her hand, seeming to understand her instructions, Chu Qingxi took a deep breath, raised his foot to clamp the horse's belly, and said softly: "Let's go.", suddenly appeared on the jade unicorn In front of the city gate of Niutouyu.

"Go! Go!", the soldiers guarding the city were impatiently shoving the passers-by, but they were suddenly attracted by the sudden appearance of Chu Qingxi: "Stop! What are you doing in a daze, where is the road sign for passing the customs?"

The soldiers who came forward to investigate couldn't stop looking at Chu Qingxi: "Ah, this little lady looks pretty good. Tsk tsk, this horse is also good, why is she so energetic!", he couldn't see enough, couldn't help it He greeted the people around him: "Hey, I said big man Liu, come and take a look, have you seen such a beautiful little lady, have you seen this fine horse?"

"Hey, let me tell you, little lady, where did your horse come from?" He still wanted to strike up a conversation with Chu Qingxi.

The big Liu he was talking about was a young man with regular facial features, a straight nose, and a square mouth. Hearing the sound, he walked up to look at Chu Qingxi, and said, "I said Sandunzi, you have committed an old problem again. If General Gu Li I found that you are talking nonsense here again, and I have to reward you with a whip. Come on, check the road signs, and you should be sent away, what are you talking about?"

The soldier named Sandunzi couldn't help making a grimace when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I said you are not enlightened. We guard the city gate every day and have no fun all day long. Now we see such a beautiful woman." My little lady, if you don’t say a few words in vain, won’t it be more and more fun. Even if General Guli knows, so what, we don’t take money, and we don’t break the law, so why should he beat me up?”

Even so, he didn't dare to make fun of him at the moment: "Hey, let me tell you, where's the street sign?"
