Shuangfeike from all over the world
Chapter 98
In the summer of the 21st year of the Great Qi Xuanzheng, the ambitious Lord Protector rebelled. He threatened and lured the Jiangnan Camp and the garrison in the capital, which were closest to Beijing, to quickly control the defense of the capital with lightning speed.
The emperor took people to kill the enemy, and the queen took a group of dead men to guard the Wenwu Hall, listening to the palace people report the situation of the rebels.She was well prepared that if the capital fell, she would ask the dead soldiers to protect the prince and take refuge at the Southwest Queen's natal home.
"Mother...why hasn't Father come back? I'm so scared..." Jiang Ce is seven years old. From the morning until now, what he heard in his ears was the rumbling artillery fire and the constant reports of the rebels from the palace. The bad news of the siege is more disturbing than the last.
"Don't be afraid, the emperor will be fine..." The queen's body trembled a little, but she still hugged Jiang Ce and kept comforting him.
Zhou Nan has grown a lot this year, and is no longer as thin as when he first entered the palace.He stood awkwardly behind the crowd, biting his lower lip and clenching his hands into fists.
He already knew from the hostile eyes of Li Shangyi and the palace people that the instigator of this disaster was his father.
He was very scared, afraid that the rebels would break into the palace and destroy everything here, and hurt the queen, Jiang Ce, Li Shangyi and other people who were kind to him; he was also very ashamed, the chief culprit of the rebellion was his father...
He hated his father, his father not only killed his mother, allowed the eldest lady mother and son to abuse him, but now he also came to hurt Jiang Ce and the queen who had been kind to him!The seeds of hatred had been planted when his mother was strangled to death, and it had already taken root in Zhou Nan's heart.
"Report!" The palace servant stumbled and ran in, knelt on the ground and wailed bitterly, "The empress is not good! The emperor is besieged by rebels... Long Yu Bintian! Zhou Xian's black-clothed white chrysanthemum killer has gone Wenwu Hall is here!"
The brocade handkerchief in the queen's hand fell to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks, her head was dizzy and she almost fell to the ground.Amidst the cries and exclamations of the palace people and Jiang Ce, she quickly calmed down, and said to the commander of the dead: "You can't stay in the palace! You quickly take the prince to the country's father-in-law's house to take refuge! The rest of the palace guards followed Bengong holds back the killer and buys time for the prince to escape!"
"Yes!" The palace people wept while crying, Li Shangyi was getting older, but she stayed by the queen's side without any fear, without flinching at all.
The leader of the dead soldiers, Chen Banan, just learned that his parents, wife, daughter, and family were killed by the rebels. He felt extremely sad, but he didn't shed a single tear.
"Queen, don't worry, the last general will protect the crown prince even if his body is smashed to pieces!" Chen Banan replied with grief.
The queen was heartbroken, and handed the crying Jiang Ce to Chen Banan, and ordered him to leave the secret road immediately with the dead man.
"Mother!" Jiang Ce cried heart-rendingly while being hugged by Chen Banan, he kept grabbing back with both hands, kicking and kicking, unwilling to leave the queen.
"Wait!" Wiping her tears, the Queen lifted Zhou Nan out from behind the crowd and gave it to Chen Ba Nan, saying: "Bring him, those people will at least be wary!"
Chen Banan looked at Zhou Nan coldly, as if looking at a dead man, and pushed him to a dead man: "You are responsible for taking him!"
Immediately, Zhou Nan was pinched by the shoulders of the dead man, staggered and pushed away. Turning his head, he saw the queen standing there and shouting to him: "Zhou Nan, if you think about the love I and the prince have for you, then help me protect you. Prince!"
Tears rolled down Zhou Nan's eyes, and before he could answer the queen, the killers rushed in.
The assassins in black costumes covered their faces, and the palm-sized white chrysanthemums at the corners of their clothes were dazzling and bloody. They raised their butcher knives and slashed at the guards and palace servants. Resist one or two, but who is Xuanyi Baiju's opponent...
Zhou Nan and Jiang Ce were carried by the dead soldiers and fled to the secret road. Li Shangyi fell...the queen fell...
Zhou Nan didn't cry like Jiang Ce. He held back his tears, his eyes were blood red, and he saw the queen lying in a pool of blood... Her dazed eyes stared at Zhou Nan and Jiang Ce's escape direction, Seems to be waiting for Zhou Nan's answer.
"Don't worry! I will protect Jiang Ce, help him get everything back, and protect him for the rest of his life!" Zhou Nan was hugged and fled into the secret passage, swearing inwardly.
On Wuting Mountain outside the capital, a group of men in black and two children eagerly walked on the mountain path. They had just escaped from the killer's pursuit after they came out of the secret path.
"Brother Nan, I want Brother Nan!" Jiang Ce was tired from crying a long time ago. He had already died down, but now he struggled on Chen Banan's back, and turned his head to cry at Zhou Nan who was being dragged by the dead man to walk quickly. shouted.
He has been crying for a long time, his voice has long been hoarse, now with a little cry, he looks even more pitiful.
"His Royal Highness, stop making trouble! The killer is about to catch up!" Chen Banan yelled at Jiang Ce who was on his back while paying attention to the movement behind him.
"I don't care! I want Brother Nan! I want Brother Nan to carry me, but I don't want you to carry me!" Jiang Ce lost his temper suddenly, struggling violently, and fell off Chen Banan's back.
Chen Banan caught him, and yelled coldly: "If His Royal Highness continues to mess around, I will do it!" After speaking, he raised his palm at Jiang Ce.
"Don't hit him!" Zhou Nan broke away from the dead man who was pulling him, ran to Chen Banan, snatched Jiang Ce from his hand, hugged him, raised his head and begged Chen Banan: "Don't hit him!" He, I'll carry him on my back, I won't hold you back..."
Chen Banan looked at Zhou Nan, the murderous look in his eyes couldn't stop, but he didn't attack Zhou Nan, but silently helped Zhou Nan carry Jiang Ce on his back, and then said: "We don't It will slow down because you are small and carry someone on your back! If you can’t keep up, I will ask someone to carry it for you.”
Although Zhou Nan has grown and strengthened a lot, he is only 12 years old after all, and it is still difficult to carry a seven-year-old child on his back.He tied Jiang Ce tightly to his back with cloth strips to ensure that he would not fall off when running or jumping.
He stubbornly supported Jiang Ce with both hands, supported him on his back, and firmly said to Chen Banan: "I will follow you."
Chen Banan glanced at Zhou Nan from top to bottom with cold eyes, and then ordered the troops to move forward quickly, heading southwest.
Zhou Nan has been in the palace for a year, and has been inseparable from Jiang Ce all day long, spending more time with Jiang Ce than the Queen and Li Shangyi.He dotes on Jiang Ce in every possible way and is obedient and obedient. He has become the person Jiang Ce relies on the most.
"Brother Nan, do you think we will be killed?" Jiang Ce nestled on Zhou Nan's back, finally felt a little safe, and couldn't help crying again.He was terrified and was still shaking to this day.
Zhou Nan struggled to carry him on his back while trotting to keep up with the team, while coaxing in a low voice: "No, brother Nan will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."
"Brother, I miss my mother..." Hearing Zhou Nan's words, Jiang Ce finally couldn't hold back, and cried loudly on Zhou Nan's back.
"Don't cry! You'll bring in the killer!" Chen Banan turned around and yelled at Jiang Ce.
Zhou Nan reached back and patted Jiang Ce, and coaxed in a low voice: "Don't cry... Ce'er, don't cry... Just bear with it, if you really want to cry, bite my shoulder, and you won't cry out... ..."
The little chubby man on his back stopped crying after hearing the words. He didn't bite Zhou Nan, but whimpered softly on Zhou Nan's back.
The dead soldiers escorted the two children through the woods quickly, and they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, but the dead soldier who was walking in the front was suddenly shot in the chest by a flying arrow and died.
"Go, there is an ambush!"
Zhou Nan was exhausted and out of breath after walking such a mountain road with Jiang Ce on his back. Hearing that there was a killer, he hurriedly followed Chen Banan and ran desperately in another direction.
It was very difficult to run in the desolate forest. The leaves hit the face and made it impossible to see the terrain in front of you. There were thorns all over the feet. Although they couldn't pierce the shoes, they still hooked the hem of the clothes to pieces, and some even pierced into the flesh... …
Zhou Nan didn't care about the pain and tiredness on his body. He was afraid that the branch would hit Jiang Ce, and whispered to him as he ran, "Put your head on my back, don't look up..."
Jiang Ce obediently buried his face on Zhou Nan's back, and wrapped his arms around Zhou Nan's neck tightly, so that Zhou Nan would save a lot of energy while running.
Chen Banan saw that Zhou Nan could keep up with Jiang Ce on his back, so he didn't care about Zhou Nan's tired face, and just led the people to escape to a safe place.
Jiang Cewo lay on Zhou Nan's back without saying a word. When he closed his eyes, he could only feel that Zhou Nan had been running for a long time with one foot deep and one foot shallow. What he heard in his ears was the sound of fighting in the distance behind, and Zhou Nan's rapid breathing close at hand. sound, and the chirping of insects and birds in the forest...
When Zhou Nan finally stopped running and put Jiang Ce down with the help of the dead man, Jiang Ce had already fallen asleep on his back.
The dead man looked at Zhou Nan's bruised shoulders and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you still have the strength to keep up with us with a child on your back. It's not bad!"
Zhou Nan was so tired that he fell to the ground panting for breath, his face was extremely pale, and he couldn't even speak. He barely reached out and pointed to the water bag on the waist of the dead man.
Seeing that he was so tired, the dead man immediately took the water bag around his waist and helped him to feed him.
"Don't be careless, we just lost two men. Although we got rid of them for the time being, Xuanyi Baiju is very good at tracking them down. We will leave after a short rest." Chen Banan looked at the back with sharp eyes and said vigilantly.
Zhou Nan drank a few sips of water and finally recovered. He hugged the sleeping Jiang Ce in his arms, and while wiping his weeping little face, he asked Chen Banan pantingly: "Boss Chen, maybe we can stay here?" How long do you rest?"
Chen Banan turned his head to look at him coldly, and said after a while: "At most half an hour!"
Zhou Nan lowered his head to avoid his murderous gaze, looked at Jiang Ce who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and whispered, "That's enough...and please ask Chief Chen to call me when the time comes."
Chen Banan's face was full of frost, but he still nodded, turned around and continued to watch the movement behind him.
Zhou Nan hugged Jiang Ce and fell asleep.
"It's embarrassing for this child...so young to have such perseverance." A dead man sighed.
"Hmph!" Chen Banan snorted coldly when he heard the extreme dissatisfaction, and stared at the dead man with knife-like eyes, and the man stopped talking for a moment.
Chen Banan turned his head to look at Zhou Nan again, stood up and slowly walked towards the two children holding the knife.The murderous aura on his body could even be felt by the dead soldiers around him, and the dead soldiers grabbed him in fright: "Boss, what are you going to do?!"
Chen Banan's hands were trembling, looking at Zhou Nan's sleeping face, his eyes were bloodshot.He could hardly bear it and slaughtered the enemy's son, but he came to his senses after being reminded by the dead man: This young man is still useful, it won't be too late to kill the prince after he is safe!
Zhou Nan also seemed to feel the danger in his sleep, and suddenly woke up, and saw Chen Banan standing beside him, holding a knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was pointing at him.
"You...what are you doing!" Zhou Nan's face was pale, his voice was trembling, and he hugged Jiang Ce more vigilantly.
Chen Banan forcibly resisted the urge to kill him with a knife, and said coldly: "I see that you are not sleeping well, come and have a look!"
Under the astonished eyes of the dead man and Zhou Nan, Chen Banan walked away as if nothing had happened, and left a cold sentence: "There is still a cup of tea and we are about to leave!"
Zhou Nan is not stupid, Chen Banan's repeated killing intent towards him, and his apparent intention to attack him just now are enough for him to be vigilant.He didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he sat down with his back against the big tree, and took a nap with Jiang Ce tightly in his arms.
Only then did he touch Jiang Ce's hand, and found that Jiang Ce's fleshy wrist was covered with teeth marks!
Looking at the dense tooth marks, Zhou Nan felt distressed: In order not to cry out, this silly child was reluctant to bite Brother Nan, so he bit his own wrist...
"Cer..." Zhou Nan pulled down Jiang Ce's sleeve to cover his arm, hugged him and murmured in a low voice, a feeling of being dependent on each other emerged spontaneously: Now, Jiang Ce has become just like him. A child without parental love, homeless...
The corners of Jiang Ce's mouth twitched, and he twitched his nose aggrievedly, wondering if he was dreaming of something sad, as if he was about to cry in his dream.
Zhou Nan hurriedly used the usual way of coaxing him to sleep, gently patted his back with his hand, trying to make him sleep more peacefully.
Sure enough, after patting like this for a while, Jiang Ce regained his composure.He habitually shrank into Zhou Nan's arms, holding Zhou Nan's clothes tightly with a small hand.As before, as long as Brother Nan is by his side, Jiang Ce can have the greatest sense of security.
If it wasn't for Zhou Nan's father, Jiang Ce would still be a little prince raised among the brocades, why would he be hunted down and killed all over the world, even sleeping would be a luxury.
"Get ready to go now!" Chen Ba Nan looked into the distance.Just after nightfall is the most dangerous time. At this time, it is already difficult to see clearly, and the beasts in the forest are about to appear. People tend to relax their vigilance at this time, and it is the time when killers are most likely to succeed.
"Ce'er, wake up... Brother put you back to sleep, okay?" Zhou Nan whispered in Jiang Ce's ear.He was too small, if Jiang Ce didn't wake him up, he couldn't carry him on his back at all.
If he was sleeping soundly and was woken up, Jiang Ce would definitely cry, but after the great changes during the day, he seemed to have grown up overnight and became more sensible.
He opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Nan, still looking aggrieved, but he just pursed his mouth and didn't cry.He stood up and waited for Zhou Nan to squat down, then obediently lay on his back, letting Zhou Nan tie him on his back with cloth strips.
"Let's go!" Chen Banan gave an order, and the soldiers escorted the two children in the middle, and walked forward gropingly.
In order to avoid being chased and killed, they could not light a fire, and it was extremely difficult to walk in the dark.The dead soldiers had a lot of experience in walking at night, but Zhou Nan didn't.Although there is no danger in being escorted in the middle by the dead soldiers, the rugged mountain road under his feet is another kind of danger for him.He almost fell down several times, but still stubbornly tried to keep up with everyone's pace.
In the darkness, a dead man took advantage of Chen Banan to explore the way forward, and without noticing what was behind him, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Nan's hand, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, I'll lead you along."
Zhou Nan's heart felt hot, so he tightly held that warm big hand, and under his guidance, he carried Jiang Ce's back with a deep kick and a shallow kick, at least not holding back.
Zhou Nan was sleepy and tired. After walking like this for an unknown time, he finally went down the mountain and saw a carriage and several horses parked in front of him.
Chen Banan quickly ran over to hand over to the other party, and then called the dead soldiers to come over.The dead man who had been holding Zhou Nan let go of his hand, and whispered to him: "Son, don't fall asleep in the carriage, be alert..."
Zhou Nan looked up gratefully to see the dead man's face clearly, but unfortunately they all covered their faces, except for Chen Banan, they all wore the same clothes, Zhou Nan couldn't tell who was who.
The dead soldiers got on the horses, Zhou Nan got into the carriage with Jiang Ce on his back, and the coachman drove the carriage and ran wildly all night under the escort of the dead soldiers.
Although the carriage bumped along the way, it was at least a chance to breathe.Zhou Nan quickly untied the cloth strips binding Jiang Ce and put him down.
Jiang Ce was very good, and he didn't cry this time. He nestled in Zhou Nan's arms and listened to the sound of the wheels of the carriage, Zhou Nan's breathing and heartbeat, and he was not too scared.
"Brother Nan, are we safe?" Jiang Ce asked in a low voice.
"Not yet, but with the carriage, we can go faster." Zhou Nan hugged him with one hand, and gently rubbed his shoulder with the other.
His shoulders were sore and stinging, he must have been strangled by cloth strips, but he couldn't even see a trace of pain on his face.
"Come on, eat something and drink some water first." Zhou Nan reached out and took out a bag from a corner of the carriage, and took out the food and water inside.It was handed to him by the driver when he got into the car.
He took out a piece of pancake from his bag and handed it to Jiang Ce. Watching him devour the pancake, he unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to him softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
After Jiang Ce finished eating, he took out a piece of cake and quickly finished eating and drank two sips of water.Then he stretched a very thin thread at the door of the carriage, and took out another thread and tied one end to the thread of the car door and the other end to his wrist.If someone entered the car quietly, he would know immediately.
In this way, he can sleep peacefully.He also has to carry ginger policies during the day, so he must ensure sleep and physical strength.
After all this was done, he held Jiang Ce in his arms and coaxed him to sleep.
"Brother Nan, why are you stretching a thread there?" Jiang Cewo asked in a low voice in his arms.
"In order to ensure our safety, if someone comes in, they will pull the thread in Brother Nan's hand, and I will wake up immediately." Zhou Nan put the other hand on Jiang Ce's head to prevent the carriage from bumping. Hitting his head, "Go to sleep, only after a good sleep can we face everything with energy."
Jiang Ce looked at him half understanding, and closed his eyes obediently.Zhou Nan put his head against Jiang Ce's, and the two children quickly fell asleep in the carriage.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Nan was suddenly awakened by the sound of beating and killing. He jumped up, raised the curtain of the car and looked outside: in the light of the fire, there were three layers of dead soldiers surrounding the carriage, and white chrysanthemums in black clothes. The killer is constantly rushing towards the carriage.
The dead soldiers fell down one by one, Chen Banan turned his head and gave Zhou Nan a vicious look, and said angrily, "Put your head back and protect the crown prince!"
Zhou Nan put down the car curtain in fright, and quickly woke Jiang Ce up.Jiang Ce didn't sleep well, and when he woke up, he heard the sound of fighting outside, his little face turned pale with fright, he grabbed Zhou Nan and said nervously, "Brother Nan, are you here to kill us?"
"Don't be afraid, Brother Lai Nan is carrying you on your back. You can lie on my back with your eyes closed for a while, and don't open your eyes no matter what sounds you hear, okay?" Zhou Nan quickly tied Jiang Ce to his back with a cloth strip, The cloth strip was pressing on his shoulders again, but he couldn't care less. If the dead soldiers were no match, he would immediately abandon the car and run away.
"Stop! Your son is in the car, if you don't stop, I'll kill him!" Zhou Nan heard Chen Banan roar outside the car.
But the sound of swords still didn't stop.
Zhou Nan quietly lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw that those white chrysanthemums in black clothes didn't seem to have heard Chen Banan's words at all, and even a white chrysanthemum in black clothes hidden in a tree had already drawn its bow towards the carriage!
Zhou Nan's face turned pale in an instant. He had been with Jiang Ce on the training ground for a long time, and he already knew all the weapons in the army.The arrow in that Xuanyi Baiju's hand was tied with explosives!
Zhou Nan didn't wait for Chen Banan to greet him, jumped off the carriage and pushed away the dead soldiers surrounding the carriage, then ran towards the direction that Xuanyi Baiju couldn't see.
As soon as he ran to a boulder, he heard a huge explosion.When the earth-shattering explosion subsided, Zhou Nan looked towards the carriage from behind the stone, and saw that the carriage had been blown to pieces in the flames soaring into the sky, and most of the dead soldiers guarding around the carriage fell to the ground. The people in black clothes and white chrysanthemums are searching for something in the flames...
Zhou Nan's pupils narrowed sharply, and he quickly got into the woods with Jiang Ce on his back.He ran violently, the branches hit his face and arms, the thorns tore his clothes and trouser legs, and blood flowed down his legs. He couldn't feel the pain anymore, and he just wanted to escape here with Jiang Ce on his back.
After running in the dark for an unknown amount of time, the voice behind him gradually disappeared, before he stopped to pant violently, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.After his panting became less severe, he turned his head and looked behind him, and finally the light and sound of the fire disappeared at all.
"Brother...I'm so scared..." Jiang Ce huddled on Zhou Nan's back, biting his arm tightly in fright.It wasn't until Zhou Nan stopped that he dared to speak in a low voice with tears.
"I'm not afraid... I have my brother here." Zhou Nan was also afraid, and looked around, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.He didn't know where he was, only the chirping insects and the nightingale's cry came from somewhere beside him.
Although he couldn't see anything, he couldn't stop here.He asked Jiang Ce to hold his neck tightly with his arms, and stretched out his hands to grope forward slowly.
After walking for an unknown amount of time in the darkness, Zhou Nan finally saw a little light.He speeded up and walked forward, finally walked out of the dark woods, stood on a mountain road and looked around.
Tonight there is no moon, but there are stars.He looked up and saw the brightest star in the sky, and remembered the stars in the sky that Mrs. Li had talked about when he was studying with Jiang Ce, and finally discerned the direction.
As he walked to the southwest, he reached out and patted Jiang Ce behind him, and said in a low voice, "Ce'er, sleep for a while, and my brother will walk slowly with you on his back..."
"I don't sleep, I'll talk to my brother." Jiang Ce felt Zhou Nan's sharp panting and slightly trembling body, knowing that he was also tired and scared.They are all children, how can they not be afraid?
Zhou Nan gasped and said, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Jiang Ce didn't answer, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Brother, why did they blow up the car even though they knew you were in it? Uncle Zhou doesn't want you anymore?"
Jiang Cetong spoke freely, but Zhou Nan's nose hurt when he heard it.He held back his tears so that they wouldn't fall, and said to Jiang Ce, holding back the choking in his voice, "Yes. He didn't want me anymore, and he killed my mother... I'm sorry... Ce'er, my son...it's useless... "
"Brother, he doesn't want you, Ce'er wants you! When I grow up, I will protect you!" Jiang Ce said foolishly on his back.
"Okay!" Zhou Nan reached out to wipe away the tears that almost fell, and strode forward.
He didn't find a family until it was almost dawn. He wanted to stay there, but before he got close to the yard, the dogs in the yard were suddenly awakened by them, and they jumped up and barked fiercely at them.
Zhou Nan was so frightened that he ran back with Jiang Ce on his back, and stopped panting when he could no longer hear the dog barking. When he saw a haystack in front of him, he walked over slowly and put Jiang Ce down.
He spread straw on the ground and built a small hut, and then he and Jiang Ce got in, ignoring to check the wound on his leg, the two children fell asleep in their arms.
This time Zhou Nan fell into a deep sleep, he was so tired, his physical strength was completely overdrawn, and he desperately needed sleep. After he fell down, he didn't even have a dream, until Jiang Ce's crying woke him up.
When he woke up and sat up, he saw Chen Banan, who was covered in blood like a terrifying god of death, standing in front of him holding a knife with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Ce hugged Chen Banan's leg with both hands, crying to prevent him from coming forward.
"What are you going to do? His Royal Highness is not out of danger yet, are you going to make trouble in front of the prince?" Zhou Nan looked at Chen Banan coldly and shouted coldly.
He was terribly afraid in his heart, his whole body was trembling slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes, he stood up with an aura not weaker than that of Chen Ba Nan, and confronted Chen Ba Nan directly!
Chen Banan was bluffed by Zhou Nan's aura, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is walking too fast, I will almost miss you in the end! Next time... Go slow!"
After Chen Banan finished speaking, he tore off the little fat man holding his leg and threw it to Zhou Nan, and said coldly: "There are still five dead men waiting in front. After the prince packs up, he will come here with the prince on his back." !"
Seeing that Chen Banan was gone, Zhou Nan tremblingly wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, hugged Jiang Ce to wipe his tears, and asked in a low voice, "When did you wake up?"
"Just now... I thought he was going to kill you..." Jiang Ce was sobbing.
Zhou Nan thought in his heart: Silly Ceer, he just wants to kill me.But he said: "No, he is the most loyal dead soldier of the Jiang family, and he will be loyal to you for the rest of his life."
He has been loyal to the Jiang family all his life, that's why he can't tolerate Zhou Nan living in this world.
Zhou Nan was frightened by Chen Banan, his legs were weak.He wiped the sweat from the fright on his forehead, put Jiang Ce on his back, ignored the soreness all over his body and the dried blood on his legs pierced by thorns, and walked up quickly to join the dead soldiers.
He thought about leaving behind Jiang Ce's back and leaving the dead to escape secretly. If he didn't go with Chen Banan, he wouldn't be in danger of his life.But without the escort of the dead, Jiang Ce would be in great danger.Zhou Nan was not yet able to protect Jiang Ce's safety alone, so he could only follow the dead soldiers at the risk of being killed by Chen Banan at any time.
The remaining five dead soldiers were all injured, but they were all minor injuries and did not affect the battle.The previous explosion killed many dead, and some seriously injured have committed suicide.They are dead soldiers, they will never drag their companions down when they are seriously injured, and they will choose to commit suicide.
Zhou Nan carried Jiang Ce on his back to evade Xuanyi Baiju's pursuit, fought wits and bravery with Chen Banan, and took care of Jiang Ce who had just lost his parents. After two days, he arrived in Puzhou County. At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
"As long as you pass Puzhou County, you will arrive at Qingzhou, which is the sphere of influence of the Guozhang's family, and we will be safe soon!" Chen Banan encouraged the dead soldiers.
But the dead soldiers are not stupid. It has been three days since such a big incident happened in Beijing. If there are still people in the father-in-law's house, why didn't they send someone to pick up Jiang Ce and let him be hunted down all the way?Judging by the situation, I'm afraid Gyeongju has already fallen.
Zhou Nan happily said to Jiang Ce: "Ce'er, you're almost at your grandfather's house, and you'll be safe then!"
"Well! My brother and I are safe!" Jiang Ce didn't ask Zhou Nan to carry his back today. He was in much better spirits, and under Zhou Nan's comfort, he had gradually overcome the fear of his father and mother being killed.He was led by Zhou Nan to trot quickly, and he followed the team without falling behind.
When the two were very happy, Chen Banan suddenly stopped, swung his knife violently and knocked away the arrows flying in front of him, and shouted behind him: "Enemy attack!"
Two black-clothed white chrysanthemum killers rushed out from the bushes, swung their knives and slashed at the dead men standing in front of Jiang Ce, who fought hard to resist.
Zhou Nan was so frightened that he grabbed Jiang Ce and ran up the mountain.He knew that the five dead men couldn't last long, and he and Jiang Ce couldn't outrun Xuanyi Baiju.The only way now is to find a safe place to hide, hoping to avoid Xuanyi Baiju's pursuit.
Jiang Ce was younger and less good at walking on mountain roads than him. He stumbled and ran while being dragged by him, but stubbornly kept silent and ran with Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan dragged him to run into the most desolate bushes. The bushes in the southwest mountainous area were extremely lush, and it was difficult to find traces when you got into it.The two children bent their waists and drilled in, and they got out of a green tunnel.
Zhou Nan let Jiang Ce walk in front, and he cleaned up the traces behind, helped people walk over the overwhelmed bushes, straightened the branches and leaves, and it didn't look like anyone was passing by.
"Brother, there is a small hole here!" Jiang Ce whispered in front of him.Zhou Nanmao bent over quickly and saw a small hole in the stone wall at the end of the bush. The hole can accommodate a child to get in.
"I'm afraid there will be poisonous snakes. Ce'er, stand behind me. I'll sprinkle some insect repellant inside. We'll go there after all the insects and snakes are gone." Sprinkle the insect repellant into the hole, and then pull Jiang Ce to hide quickly.
The two children stared closely at the entrance of the hole. After a while, only a few spiders and long-legged snakes crawled out, and there were no poisonous insects or beasts as imagined.
Zhou Nan pulled Jiang Cemao's waist and drilled into the cave. The cave was small and shallow, and it was less than five feet deep. No wonder poisonous insects and beasts didn't like it.But enough, enough for two small children to hide.
Zhou Nan was overjoyed. This stone cave hidden deep in the bushes was a perfect hiding place. After he and Jiang Ce got in, they immediately restored the bushes at the entrance of the cave to their original state.
"Brother, I seem to have heard someone approaching." Jiang Ce squatted in the cave and grabbed Zhou Nan's sleeve and whispered in his ear.
Zhou Nan pricked up his ears to listen, and sure enough, he heard the footsteps of a person walking this way. The person's footsteps were messy, and he seemed to be anxiously poking the bushes with something, looking for something.
Zhou Nan knew that this person was unlikely to be a dead man, and it was impossible for those dead men to escape from Xuanyi Baiju's hands.His face turned pale instantly, and he whispered to Jiang Ce quickly: "Cer, take off your clothes, let's change."
Although Jiang Ce's clothes were small, Zhou Nan was only a teenager at this time, and although Jiang Ce's clothes were a bit short, he could still wear them.
He helped Jiang Ce put on his clothes and whispered to him, "Brother, go out and lure the killer away... Be good, Ceer, don't move if you hide here, my brother will definitely come back to find you, and my brother swears that he will come back to pick you up." !"
Jiang Ce was crying silently, his chubby face was wrinkled from crying, he tightly grabbed Zhou Nan's sleeves and lowered his cry, "Brother, don't lie to me, I'll wait here for you and don't go anywhere...Brother You must come back!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Nan hugged Jiang Ce tightly in his arms for a while, then pushed him away cruelly, and crawled out of the cave.
He tried his best not to touch the bushes near the cave, and dodged from side to side, until he was far away from the cave, and then deliberately bumped into the bushes, and was immediately picked up by a big hand by the collar.He raised his head and met Chen Banan's bloody face.
"Chen... Chief Chen, have the killers been dealt with?" Zhou Nan was surprised that Chen Banan had escaped from the killers, and even chased them over.
"Where's the prince?" Chen Banan didn't answer him, his eyes were blood red like a ghost, and he was covered in blood, he asked Zhou Nan sharply.
"Hidden."
"Is it safe enough?"
"enough!"
Chen Banan looked at the prince's suit on Zhou Nan's body, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Follow me, the killer is coming soon, let's lure the killer away..."
"Okay!" Zhou Nan looked back at the direction of the cave reluctantly, and was dragged by Chen Banan to run towards the mountain...
Jiang Ce's whole body was tense, tightly holding his childhood jade pendant, and he left Zhou Nan. He was trembling with fright, and his little heart only hoped that Brother Nan would come back to find him soon.
Unexpectedly, fate would play tricks on people. It took Jiang Ce a full 14 years to wait for Zhou Nan to go.
"Brother, do you know? You left me in the cave back then, and I waited for two full days before being found by my adoptive father." Xie Ce drove the carriage on the road at the foot of Chaotian Mountain, facing Wei Nan who was sitting next to him in the carriage. road.
"I was hungry and thirsty at the time. When I saw my adoptive father, I didn't ask who he was the first time. I asked him what he wanted to eat. I was laughed at by him and his group of bandits for a long time." Xie Ce laughed.
"We were hiding in the bushes over there at that time, right?" Wei Nan pointed to the lush bushes beside the road.
"Well! After I was adopted by my adoptive father, every time I went down the mountain, I would go to the cave to see if you came back." Xie Ce shook his head and smiled, "By the way, every time I come, I will leave a message for you in the cave , do you want to go and see?"
Wei Nan looked in the direction of the cave with complicated eyes, and said after a while: "I won't go to see it, it makes me sad."
Xie Ce stretched out his hand to hold Wei Nan's hand, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, the left and right are just my situation at that time, I just want my brother to see it when he comes back, come and find me."
Wei Nan bowed his head and remained silent.He lived a life like hell after hiding in his adoptive parents' house.He only remembered that he finally returned to this cave three days after leaving Jiang Ce, but Jiang Ce had disappeared.
From then on, Wei Nan looked for Xie Ce countless times in Tianshan Mountain over the years, but he never went into the cave to take a look.
"If I went in again in those years, maybe I would have found you long ago." Wei Nan sighed.
"Now that I think about it, my brother has always been by my side. I feel right. We are so close but we can't see each other. It is probably God's will. It is to make me better in 14 years so that I can be worthy of my brother." " Xie Ce put his arm around Wei Nan's shoulder, speaking a little sadly.
Wei Nan tilted his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pretended to be relaxed and said with red eyes: "Come on, it's almost sunset, we have to go to the wine shop you mentioned to drink!"
Xie Ce rode his horse forward with a smile, and laughed as he walked, "Brother has a little capacity for alcohol, I'm going to get drunk tonight."
"Then you can't bully me, it's only fair if I drink a cup and you drink a pot!" Wei Nan's hearty laughter sounded on the mountain road.
The horseshoes are walking on the mountain road without rush or slowness. The years are peaceful and long, enough for those who love each other to savor them carefully.
The author has something to say:
The story of my childhood has been supplemented, and I will add some other details next, thank you for your support.It took me a long time to write this novel, and it tortured me a lot. There are many chapters and details
The emperor took people to kill the enemy, and the queen took a group of dead men to guard the Wenwu Hall, listening to the palace people report the situation of the rebels.She was well prepared that if the capital fell, she would ask the dead soldiers to protect the prince and take refuge at the Southwest Queen's natal home.
"Mother...why hasn't Father come back? I'm so scared..." Jiang Ce is seven years old. From the morning until now, what he heard in his ears was the rumbling artillery fire and the constant reports of the rebels from the palace. The bad news of the siege is more disturbing than the last.
"Don't be afraid, the emperor will be fine..." The queen's body trembled a little, but she still hugged Jiang Ce and kept comforting him.
Zhou Nan has grown a lot this year, and is no longer as thin as when he first entered the palace.He stood awkwardly behind the crowd, biting his lower lip and clenching his hands into fists.
He already knew from the hostile eyes of Li Shangyi and the palace people that the instigator of this disaster was his father.
He was very scared, afraid that the rebels would break into the palace and destroy everything here, and hurt the queen, Jiang Ce, Li Shangyi and other people who were kind to him; he was also very ashamed, the chief culprit of the rebellion was his father...
He hated his father, his father not only killed his mother, allowed the eldest lady mother and son to abuse him, but now he also came to hurt Jiang Ce and the queen who had been kind to him!The seeds of hatred had been planted when his mother was strangled to death, and it had already taken root in Zhou Nan's heart.
"Report!" The palace servant stumbled and ran in, knelt on the ground and wailed bitterly, "The empress is not good! The emperor is besieged by rebels... Long Yu Bintian! Zhou Xian's black-clothed white chrysanthemum killer has gone Wenwu Hall is here!"
The brocade handkerchief in the queen's hand fell to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks, her head was dizzy and she almost fell to the ground.Amidst the cries and exclamations of the palace people and Jiang Ce, she quickly calmed down, and said to the commander of the dead: "You can't stay in the palace! You quickly take the prince to the country's father-in-law's house to take refuge! The rest of the palace guards followed Bengong holds back the killer and buys time for the prince to escape!"
"Yes!" The palace people wept while crying, Li Shangyi was getting older, but she stayed by the queen's side without any fear, without flinching at all.
The leader of the dead soldiers, Chen Banan, just learned that his parents, wife, daughter, and family were killed by the rebels. He felt extremely sad, but he didn't shed a single tear.
"Queen, don't worry, the last general will protect the crown prince even if his body is smashed to pieces!" Chen Banan replied with grief.
The queen was heartbroken, and handed the crying Jiang Ce to Chen Banan, and ordered him to leave the secret road immediately with the dead man.
"Mother!" Jiang Ce cried heart-rendingly while being hugged by Chen Banan, he kept grabbing back with both hands, kicking and kicking, unwilling to leave the queen.
"Wait!" Wiping her tears, the Queen lifted Zhou Nan out from behind the crowd and gave it to Chen Ba Nan, saying: "Bring him, those people will at least be wary!"
Chen Banan looked at Zhou Nan coldly, as if looking at a dead man, and pushed him to a dead man: "You are responsible for taking him!"
Immediately, Zhou Nan was pinched by the shoulders of the dead man, staggered and pushed away. Turning his head, he saw the queen standing there and shouting to him: "Zhou Nan, if you think about the love I and the prince have for you, then help me protect you. Prince!"
Tears rolled down Zhou Nan's eyes, and before he could answer the queen, the killers rushed in.
The assassins in black costumes covered their faces, and the palm-sized white chrysanthemums at the corners of their clothes were dazzling and bloody. They raised their butcher knives and slashed at the guards and palace servants. Resist one or two, but who is Xuanyi Baiju's opponent...
Zhou Nan and Jiang Ce were carried by the dead soldiers and fled to the secret road. Li Shangyi fell...the queen fell...
Zhou Nan didn't cry like Jiang Ce. He held back his tears, his eyes were blood red, and he saw the queen lying in a pool of blood... Her dazed eyes stared at Zhou Nan and Jiang Ce's escape direction, Seems to be waiting for Zhou Nan's answer.
"Don't worry! I will protect Jiang Ce, help him get everything back, and protect him for the rest of his life!" Zhou Nan was hugged and fled into the secret passage, swearing inwardly.
On Wuting Mountain outside the capital, a group of men in black and two children eagerly walked on the mountain path. They had just escaped from the killer's pursuit after they came out of the secret path.
"Brother Nan, I want Brother Nan!" Jiang Ce was tired from crying a long time ago. He had already died down, but now he struggled on Chen Banan's back, and turned his head to cry at Zhou Nan who was being dragged by the dead man to walk quickly. shouted.
He has been crying for a long time, his voice has long been hoarse, now with a little cry, he looks even more pitiful.
"His Royal Highness, stop making trouble! The killer is about to catch up!" Chen Banan yelled at Jiang Ce who was on his back while paying attention to the movement behind him.
"I don't care! I want Brother Nan! I want Brother Nan to carry me, but I don't want you to carry me!" Jiang Ce lost his temper suddenly, struggling violently, and fell off Chen Banan's back.
Chen Banan caught him, and yelled coldly: "If His Royal Highness continues to mess around, I will do it!" After speaking, he raised his palm at Jiang Ce.
"Don't hit him!" Zhou Nan broke away from the dead man who was pulling him, ran to Chen Banan, snatched Jiang Ce from his hand, hugged him, raised his head and begged Chen Banan: "Don't hit him!" He, I'll carry him on my back, I won't hold you back..."
Chen Banan looked at Zhou Nan, the murderous look in his eyes couldn't stop, but he didn't attack Zhou Nan, but silently helped Zhou Nan carry Jiang Ce on his back, and then said: "We don't It will slow down because you are small and carry someone on your back! If you can’t keep up, I will ask someone to carry it for you.”
Although Zhou Nan has grown and strengthened a lot, he is only 12 years old after all, and it is still difficult to carry a seven-year-old child on his back.He tied Jiang Ce tightly to his back with cloth strips to ensure that he would not fall off when running or jumping.
He stubbornly supported Jiang Ce with both hands, supported him on his back, and firmly said to Chen Banan: "I will follow you."
Chen Banan glanced at Zhou Nan from top to bottom with cold eyes, and then ordered the troops to move forward quickly, heading southwest.
Zhou Nan has been in the palace for a year, and has been inseparable from Jiang Ce all day long, spending more time with Jiang Ce than the Queen and Li Shangyi.He dotes on Jiang Ce in every possible way and is obedient and obedient. He has become the person Jiang Ce relies on the most.
"Brother Nan, do you think we will be killed?" Jiang Ce nestled on Zhou Nan's back, finally felt a little safe, and couldn't help crying again.He was terrified and was still shaking to this day.
Zhou Nan struggled to carry him on his back while trotting to keep up with the team, while coaxing in a low voice: "No, brother Nan will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."
"Brother, I miss my mother..." Hearing Zhou Nan's words, Jiang Ce finally couldn't hold back, and cried loudly on Zhou Nan's back.
"Don't cry! You'll bring in the killer!" Chen Banan turned around and yelled at Jiang Ce.
Zhou Nan reached back and patted Jiang Ce, and coaxed in a low voice: "Don't cry... Ce'er, don't cry... Just bear with it, if you really want to cry, bite my shoulder, and you won't cry out... ..."
The little chubby man on his back stopped crying after hearing the words. He didn't bite Zhou Nan, but whimpered softly on Zhou Nan's back.
The dead soldiers escorted the two children through the woods quickly, and they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, but the dead soldier who was walking in the front was suddenly shot in the chest by a flying arrow and died.
"Go, there is an ambush!"
Zhou Nan was exhausted and out of breath after walking such a mountain road with Jiang Ce on his back. Hearing that there was a killer, he hurriedly followed Chen Banan and ran desperately in another direction.
It was very difficult to run in the desolate forest. The leaves hit the face and made it impossible to see the terrain in front of you. There were thorns all over the feet. Although they couldn't pierce the shoes, they still hooked the hem of the clothes to pieces, and some even pierced into the flesh... …
Zhou Nan didn't care about the pain and tiredness on his body. He was afraid that the branch would hit Jiang Ce, and whispered to him as he ran, "Put your head on my back, don't look up..."
Jiang Ce obediently buried his face on Zhou Nan's back, and wrapped his arms around Zhou Nan's neck tightly, so that Zhou Nan would save a lot of energy while running.
Chen Banan saw that Zhou Nan could keep up with Jiang Ce on his back, so he didn't care about Zhou Nan's tired face, and just led the people to escape to a safe place.
Jiang Cewo lay on Zhou Nan's back without saying a word. When he closed his eyes, he could only feel that Zhou Nan had been running for a long time with one foot deep and one foot shallow. What he heard in his ears was the sound of fighting in the distance behind, and Zhou Nan's rapid breathing close at hand. sound, and the chirping of insects and birds in the forest...
When Zhou Nan finally stopped running and put Jiang Ce down with the help of the dead man, Jiang Ce had already fallen asleep on his back.
The dead man looked at Zhou Nan's bruised shoulders and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you still have the strength to keep up with us with a child on your back. It's not bad!"
Zhou Nan was so tired that he fell to the ground panting for breath, his face was extremely pale, and he couldn't even speak. He barely reached out and pointed to the water bag on the waist of the dead man.
Seeing that he was so tired, the dead man immediately took the water bag around his waist and helped him to feed him.
"Don't be careless, we just lost two men. Although we got rid of them for the time being, Xuanyi Baiju is very good at tracking them down. We will leave after a short rest." Chen Banan looked at the back with sharp eyes and said vigilantly.
Zhou Nan drank a few sips of water and finally recovered. He hugged the sleeping Jiang Ce in his arms, and while wiping his weeping little face, he asked Chen Banan pantingly: "Boss Chen, maybe we can stay here?" How long do you rest?"
Chen Banan turned his head to look at him coldly, and said after a while: "At most half an hour!"
Zhou Nan lowered his head to avoid his murderous gaze, looked at Jiang Ce who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and whispered, "That's enough...and please ask Chief Chen to call me when the time comes."
Chen Banan's face was full of frost, but he still nodded, turned around and continued to watch the movement behind him.
Zhou Nan hugged Jiang Ce and fell asleep.
"It's embarrassing for this child...so young to have such perseverance." A dead man sighed.
"Hmph!" Chen Banan snorted coldly when he heard the extreme dissatisfaction, and stared at the dead man with knife-like eyes, and the man stopped talking for a moment.
Chen Banan turned his head to look at Zhou Nan again, stood up and slowly walked towards the two children holding the knife.The murderous aura on his body could even be felt by the dead soldiers around him, and the dead soldiers grabbed him in fright: "Boss, what are you going to do?!"
Chen Banan's hands were trembling, looking at Zhou Nan's sleeping face, his eyes were bloodshot.He could hardly bear it and slaughtered the enemy's son, but he came to his senses after being reminded by the dead man: This young man is still useful, it won't be too late to kill the prince after he is safe!
Zhou Nan also seemed to feel the danger in his sleep, and suddenly woke up, and saw Chen Banan standing beside him, holding a knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was pointing at him.
"You...what are you doing!" Zhou Nan's face was pale, his voice was trembling, and he hugged Jiang Ce more vigilantly.
Chen Banan forcibly resisted the urge to kill him with a knife, and said coldly: "I see that you are not sleeping well, come and have a look!"
Under the astonished eyes of the dead man and Zhou Nan, Chen Banan walked away as if nothing had happened, and left a cold sentence: "There is still a cup of tea and we are about to leave!"
Zhou Nan is not stupid, Chen Banan's repeated killing intent towards him, and his apparent intention to attack him just now are enough for him to be vigilant.He didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he sat down with his back against the big tree, and took a nap with Jiang Ce tightly in his arms.
Only then did he touch Jiang Ce's hand, and found that Jiang Ce's fleshy wrist was covered with teeth marks!
Looking at the dense tooth marks, Zhou Nan felt distressed: In order not to cry out, this silly child was reluctant to bite Brother Nan, so he bit his own wrist...
"Cer..." Zhou Nan pulled down Jiang Ce's sleeve to cover his arm, hugged him and murmured in a low voice, a feeling of being dependent on each other emerged spontaneously: Now, Jiang Ce has become just like him. A child without parental love, homeless...
The corners of Jiang Ce's mouth twitched, and he twitched his nose aggrievedly, wondering if he was dreaming of something sad, as if he was about to cry in his dream.
Zhou Nan hurriedly used the usual way of coaxing him to sleep, gently patted his back with his hand, trying to make him sleep more peacefully.
Sure enough, after patting like this for a while, Jiang Ce regained his composure.He habitually shrank into Zhou Nan's arms, holding Zhou Nan's clothes tightly with a small hand.As before, as long as Brother Nan is by his side, Jiang Ce can have the greatest sense of security.
If it wasn't for Zhou Nan's father, Jiang Ce would still be a little prince raised among the brocades, why would he be hunted down and killed all over the world, even sleeping would be a luxury.
"Get ready to go now!" Chen Ba Nan looked into the distance.Just after nightfall is the most dangerous time. At this time, it is already difficult to see clearly, and the beasts in the forest are about to appear. People tend to relax their vigilance at this time, and it is the time when killers are most likely to succeed.
"Ce'er, wake up... Brother put you back to sleep, okay?" Zhou Nan whispered in Jiang Ce's ear.He was too small, if Jiang Ce didn't wake him up, he couldn't carry him on his back at all.
If he was sleeping soundly and was woken up, Jiang Ce would definitely cry, but after the great changes during the day, he seemed to have grown up overnight and became more sensible.
He opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Nan, still looking aggrieved, but he just pursed his mouth and didn't cry.He stood up and waited for Zhou Nan to squat down, then obediently lay on his back, letting Zhou Nan tie him on his back with cloth strips.
"Let's go!" Chen Banan gave an order, and the soldiers escorted the two children in the middle, and walked forward gropingly.
In order to avoid being chased and killed, they could not light a fire, and it was extremely difficult to walk in the dark.The dead soldiers had a lot of experience in walking at night, but Zhou Nan didn't.Although there is no danger in being escorted in the middle by the dead soldiers, the rugged mountain road under his feet is another kind of danger for him.He almost fell down several times, but still stubbornly tried to keep up with everyone's pace.
In the darkness, a dead man took advantage of Chen Banan to explore the way forward, and without noticing what was behind him, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Nan's hand, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, I'll lead you along."
Zhou Nan's heart felt hot, so he tightly held that warm big hand, and under his guidance, he carried Jiang Ce's back with a deep kick and a shallow kick, at least not holding back.
Zhou Nan was sleepy and tired. After walking like this for an unknown time, he finally went down the mountain and saw a carriage and several horses parked in front of him.
Chen Banan quickly ran over to hand over to the other party, and then called the dead soldiers to come over.The dead man who had been holding Zhou Nan let go of his hand, and whispered to him: "Son, don't fall asleep in the carriage, be alert..."
Zhou Nan looked up gratefully to see the dead man's face clearly, but unfortunately they all covered their faces, except for Chen Banan, they all wore the same clothes, Zhou Nan couldn't tell who was who.
The dead soldiers got on the horses, Zhou Nan got into the carriage with Jiang Ce on his back, and the coachman drove the carriage and ran wildly all night under the escort of the dead soldiers.
Although the carriage bumped along the way, it was at least a chance to breathe.Zhou Nan quickly untied the cloth strips binding Jiang Ce and put him down.
Jiang Ce was very good, and he didn't cry this time. He nestled in Zhou Nan's arms and listened to the sound of the wheels of the carriage, Zhou Nan's breathing and heartbeat, and he was not too scared.
"Brother Nan, are we safe?" Jiang Ce asked in a low voice.
"Not yet, but with the carriage, we can go faster." Zhou Nan hugged him with one hand, and gently rubbed his shoulder with the other.
His shoulders were sore and stinging, he must have been strangled by cloth strips, but he couldn't even see a trace of pain on his face.
"Come on, eat something and drink some water first." Zhou Nan reached out and took out a bag from a corner of the carriage, and took out the food and water inside.It was handed to him by the driver when he got into the car.
He took out a piece of pancake from his bag and handed it to Jiang Ce. Watching him devour the pancake, he unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to him softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
After Jiang Ce finished eating, he took out a piece of cake and quickly finished eating and drank two sips of water.Then he stretched a very thin thread at the door of the carriage, and took out another thread and tied one end to the thread of the car door and the other end to his wrist.If someone entered the car quietly, he would know immediately.
In this way, he can sleep peacefully.He also has to carry ginger policies during the day, so he must ensure sleep and physical strength.
After all this was done, he held Jiang Ce in his arms and coaxed him to sleep.
"Brother Nan, why are you stretching a thread there?" Jiang Cewo asked in a low voice in his arms.
"In order to ensure our safety, if someone comes in, they will pull the thread in Brother Nan's hand, and I will wake up immediately." Zhou Nan put the other hand on Jiang Ce's head to prevent the carriage from bumping. Hitting his head, "Go to sleep, only after a good sleep can we face everything with energy."
Jiang Ce looked at him half understanding, and closed his eyes obediently.Zhou Nan put his head against Jiang Ce's, and the two children quickly fell asleep in the carriage.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Nan was suddenly awakened by the sound of beating and killing. He jumped up, raised the curtain of the car and looked outside: in the light of the fire, there were three layers of dead soldiers surrounding the carriage, and white chrysanthemums in black clothes. The killer is constantly rushing towards the carriage.
The dead soldiers fell down one by one, Chen Banan turned his head and gave Zhou Nan a vicious look, and said angrily, "Put your head back and protect the crown prince!"
Zhou Nan put down the car curtain in fright, and quickly woke Jiang Ce up.Jiang Ce didn't sleep well, and when he woke up, he heard the sound of fighting outside, his little face turned pale with fright, he grabbed Zhou Nan and said nervously, "Brother Nan, are you here to kill us?"
"Don't be afraid, Brother Lai Nan is carrying you on your back. You can lie on my back with your eyes closed for a while, and don't open your eyes no matter what sounds you hear, okay?" Zhou Nan quickly tied Jiang Ce to his back with a cloth strip, The cloth strip was pressing on his shoulders again, but he couldn't care less. If the dead soldiers were no match, he would immediately abandon the car and run away.
"Stop! Your son is in the car, if you don't stop, I'll kill him!" Zhou Nan heard Chen Banan roar outside the car.
But the sound of swords still didn't stop.
Zhou Nan quietly lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw that those white chrysanthemums in black clothes didn't seem to have heard Chen Banan's words at all, and even a white chrysanthemum in black clothes hidden in a tree had already drawn its bow towards the carriage!
Zhou Nan's face turned pale in an instant. He had been with Jiang Ce on the training ground for a long time, and he already knew all the weapons in the army.The arrow in that Xuanyi Baiju's hand was tied with explosives!
Zhou Nan didn't wait for Chen Banan to greet him, jumped off the carriage and pushed away the dead soldiers surrounding the carriage, then ran towards the direction that Xuanyi Baiju couldn't see.
As soon as he ran to a boulder, he heard a huge explosion.When the earth-shattering explosion subsided, Zhou Nan looked towards the carriage from behind the stone, and saw that the carriage had been blown to pieces in the flames soaring into the sky, and most of the dead soldiers guarding around the carriage fell to the ground. The people in black clothes and white chrysanthemums are searching for something in the flames...
Zhou Nan's pupils narrowed sharply, and he quickly got into the woods with Jiang Ce on his back.He ran violently, the branches hit his face and arms, the thorns tore his clothes and trouser legs, and blood flowed down his legs. He couldn't feel the pain anymore, and he just wanted to escape here with Jiang Ce on his back.
After running in the dark for an unknown amount of time, the voice behind him gradually disappeared, before he stopped to pant violently, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.After his panting became less severe, he turned his head and looked behind him, and finally the light and sound of the fire disappeared at all.
"Brother...I'm so scared..." Jiang Ce huddled on Zhou Nan's back, biting his arm tightly in fright.It wasn't until Zhou Nan stopped that he dared to speak in a low voice with tears.
"I'm not afraid... I have my brother here." Zhou Nan was also afraid, and looked around, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.He didn't know where he was, only the chirping insects and the nightingale's cry came from somewhere beside him.
Although he couldn't see anything, he couldn't stop here.He asked Jiang Ce to hold his neck tightly with his arms, and stretched out his hands to grope forward slowly.
After walking for an unknown amount of time in the darkness, Zhou Nan finally saw a little light.He speeded up and walked forward, finally walked out of the dark woods, stood on a mountain road and looked around.
Tonight there is no moon, but there are stars.He looked up and saw the brightest star in the sky, and remembered the stars in the sky that Mrs. Li had talked about when he was studying with Jiang Ce, and finally discerned the direction.
As he walked to the southwest, he reached out and patted Jiang Ce behind him, and said in a low voice, "Ce'er, sleep for a while, and my brother will walk slowly with you on his back..."
"I don't sleep, I'll talk to my brother." Jiang Ce felt Zhou Nan's sharp panting and slightly trembling body, knowing that he was also tired and scared.They are all children, how can they not be afraid?
Zhou Nan gasped and said, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Jiang Ce didn't answer, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Brother, why did they blow up the car even though they knew you were in it? Uncle Zhou doesn't want you anymore?"
Jiang Cetong spoke freely, but Zhou Nan's nose hurt when he heard it.He held back his tears so that they wouldn't fall, and said to Jiang Ce, holding back the choking in his voice, "Yes. He didn't want me anymore, and he killed my mother... I'm sorry... Ce'er, my son...it's useless... "
"Brother, he doesn't want you, Ce'er wants you! When I grow up, I will protect you!" Jiang Ce said foolishly on his back.
"Okay!" Zhou Nan reached out to wipe away the tears that almost fell, and strode forward.
He didn't find a family until it was almost dawn. He wanted to stay there, but before he got close to the yard, the dogs in the yard were suddenly awakened by them, and they jumped up and barked fiercely at them.
Zhou Nan was so frightened that he ran back with Jiang Ce on his back, and stopped panting when he could no longer hear the dog barking. When he saw a haystack in front of him, he walked over slowly and put Jiang Ce down.
He spread straw on the ground and built a small hut, and then he and Jiang Ce got in, ignoring to check the wound on his leg, the two children fell asleep in their arms.
This time Zhou Nan fell into a deep sleep, he was so tired, his physical strength was completely overdrawn, and he desperately needed sleep. After he fell down, he didn't even have a dream, until Jiang Ce's crying woke him up.
When he woke up and sat up, he saw Chen Banan, who was covered in blood like a terrifying god of death, standing in front of him holding a knife with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Ce hugged Chen Banan's leg with both hands, crying to prevent him from coming forward.
"What are you going to do? His Royal Highness is not out of danger yet, are you going to make trouble in front of the prince?" Zhou Nan looked at Chen Banan coldly and shouted coldly.
He was terribly afraid in his heart, his whole body was trembling slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes, he stood up with an aura not weaker than that of Chen Ba Nan, and confronted Chen Ba Nan directly!
Chen Banan was bluffed by Zhou Nan's aura, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is walking too fast, I will almost miss you in the end! Next time... Go slow!"
After Chen Banan finished speaking, he tore off the little fat man holding his leg and threw it to Zhou Nan, and said coldly: "There are still five dead men waiting in front. After the prince packs up, he will come here with the prince on his back." !"
Seeing that Chen Banan was gone, Zhou Nan tremblingly wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, hugged Jiang Ce to wipe his tears, and asked in a low voice, "When did you wake up?"
"Just now... I thought he was going to kill you..." Jiang Ce was sobbing.
Zhou Nan thought in his heart: Silly Ceer, he just wants to kill me.But he said: "No, he is the most loyal dead soldier of the Jiang family, and he will be loyal to you for the rest of his life."
He has been loyal to the Jiang family all his life, that's why he can't tolerate Zhou Nan living in this world.
Zhou Nan was frightened by Chen Banan, his legs were weak.He wiped the sweat from the fright on his forehead, put Jiang Ce on his back, ignored the soreness all over his body and the dried blood on his legs pierced by thorns, and walked up quickly to join the dead soldiers.
He thought about leaving behind Jiang Ce's back and leaving the dead to escape secretly. If he didn't go with Chen Banan, he wouldn't be in danger of his life.But without the escort of the dead, Jiang Ce would be in great danger.Zhou Nan was not yet able to protect Jiang Ce's safety alone, so he could only follow the dead soldiers at the risk of being killed by Chen Banan at any time.
The remaining five dead soldiers were all injured, but they were all minor injuries and did not affect the battle.The previous explosion killed many dead, and some seriously injured have committed suicide.They are dead soldiers, they will never drag their companions down when they are seriously injured, and they will choose to commit suicide.
Zhou Nan carried Jiang Ce on his back to evade Xuanyi Baiju's pursuit, fought wits and bravery with Chen Banan, and took care of Jiang Ce who had just lost his parents. After two days, he arrived in Puzhou County. At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
"As long as you pass Puzhou County, you will arrive at Qingzhou, which is the sphere of influence of the Guozhang's family, and we will be safe soon!" Chen Banan encouraged the dead soldiers.
But the dead soldiers are not stupid. It has been three days since such a big incident happened in Beijing. If there are still people in the father-in-law's house, why didn't they send someone to pick up Jiang Ce and let him be hunted down all the way?Judging by the situation, I'm afraid Gyeongju has already fallen.
Zhou Nan happily said to Jiang Ce: "Ce'er, you're almost at your grandfather's house, and you'll be safe then!"
"Well! My brother and I are safe!" Jiang Ce didn't ask Zhou Nan to carry his back today. He was in much better spirits, and under Zhou Nan's comfort, he had gradually overcome the fear of his father and mother being killed.He was led by Zhou Nan to trot quickly, and he followed the team without falling behind.
When the two were very happy, Chen Banan suddenly stopped, swung his knife violently and knocked away the arrows flying in front of him, and shouted behind him: "Enemy attack!"
Two black-clothed white chrysanthemum killers rushed out from the bushes, swung their knives and slashed at the dead men standing in front of Jiang Ce, who fought hard to resist.
Zhou Nan was so frightened that he grabbed Jiang Ce and ran up the mountain.He knew that the five dead men couldn't last long, and he and Jiang Ce couldn't outrun Xuanyi Baiju.The only way now is to find a safe place to hide, hoping to avoid Xuanyi Baiju's pursuit.
Jiang Ce was younger and less good at walking on mountain roads than him. He stumbled and ran while being dragged by him, but stubbornly kept silent and ran with Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan dragged him to run into the most desolate bushes. The bushes in the southwest mountainous area were extremely lush, and it was difficult to find traces when you got into it.The two children bent their waists and drilled in, and they got out of a green tunnel.
Zhou Nan let Jiang Ce walk in front, and he cleaned up the traces behind, helped people walk over the overwhelmed bushes, straightened the branches and leaves, and it didn't look like anyone was passing by.
"Brother, there is a small hole here!" Jiang Ce whispered in front of him.Zhou Nanmao bent over quickly and saw a small hole in the stone wall at the end of the bush. The hole can accommodate a child to get in.
"I'm afraid there will be poisonous snakes. Ce'er, stand behind me. I'll sprinkle some insect repellant inside. We'll go there after all the insects and snakes are gone." Sprinkle the insect repellant into the hole, and then pull Jiang Ce to hide quickly.
The two children stared closely at the entrance of the hole. After a while, only a few spiders and long-legged snakes crawled out, and there were no poisonous insects or beasts as imagined.
Zhou Nan pulled Jiang Cemao's waist and drilled into the cave. The cave was small and shallow, and it was less than five feet deep. No wonder poisonous insects and beasts didn't like it.But enough, enough for two small children to hide.
Zhou Nan was overjoyed. This stone cave hidden deep in the bushes was a perfect hiding place. After he and Jiang Ce got in, they immediately restored the bushes at the entrance of the cave to their original state.
"Brother, I seem to have heard someone approaching." Jiang Ce squatted in the cave and grabbed Zhou Nan's sleeve and whispered in his ear.
Zhou Nan pricked up his ears to listen, and sure enough, he heard the footsteps of a person walking this way. The person's footsteps were messy, and he seemed to be anxiously poking the bushes with something, looking for something.
Zhou Nan knew that this person was unlikely to be a dead man, and it was impossible for those dead men to escape from Xuanyi Baiju's hands.His face turned pale instantly, and he whispered to Jiang Ce quickly: "Cer, take off your clothes, let's change."
Although Jiang Ce's clothes were small, Zhou Nan was only a teenager at this time, and although Jiang Ce's clothes were a bit short, he could still wear them.
He helped Jiang Ce put on his clothes and whispered to him, "Brother, go out and lure the killer away... Be good, Ceer, don't move if you hide here, my brother will definitely come back to find you, and my brother swears that he will come back to pick you up." !"
Jiang Ce was crying silently, his chubby face was wrinkled from crying, he tightly grabbed Zhou Nan's sleeves and lowered his cry, "Brother, don't lie to me, I'll wait here for you and don't go anywhere...Brother You must come back!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Nan hugged Jiang Ce tightly in his arms for a while, then pushed him away cruelly, and crawled out of the cave.
He tried his best not to touch the bushes near the cave, and dodged from side to side, until he was far away from the cave, and then deliberately bumped into the bushes, and was immediately picked up by a big hand by the collar.He raised his head and met Chen Banan's bloody face.
"Chen... Chief Chen, have the killers been dealt with?" Zhou Nan was surprised that Chen Banan had escaped from the killers, and even chased them over.
"Where's the prince?" Chen Banan didn't answer him, his eyes were blood red like a ghost, and he was covered in blood, he asked Zhou Nan sharply.
"Hidden."
"Is it safe enough?"
"enough!"
Chen Banan looked at the prince's suit on Zhou Nan's body, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Follow me, the killer is coming soon, let's lure the killer away..."
"Okay!" Zhou Nan looked back at the direction of the cave reluctantly, and was dragged by Chen Banan to run towards the mountain...
Jiang Ce's whole body was tense, tightly holding his childhood jade pendant, and he left Zhou Nan. He was trembling with fright, and his little heart only hoped that Brother Nan would come back to find him soon.
Unexpectedly, fate would play tricks on people. It took Jiang Ce a full 14 years to wait for Zhou Nan to go.
"Brother, do you know? You left me in the cave back then, and I waited for two full days before being found by my adoptive father." Xie Ce drove the carriage on the road at the foot of Chaotian Mountain, facing Wei Nan who was sitting next to him in the carriage. road.
"I was hungry and thirsty at the time. When I saw my adoptive father, I didn't ask who he was the first time. I asked him what he wanted to eat. I was laughed at by him and his group of bandits for a long time." Xie Ce laughed.
"We were hiding in the bushes over there at that time, right?" Wei Nan pointed to the lush bushes beside the road.
"Well! After I was adopted by my adoptive father, every time I went down the mountain, I would go to the cave to see if you came back." Xie Ce shook his head and smiled, "By the way, every time I come, I will leave a message for you in the cave , do you want to go and see?"
Wei Nan looked in the direction of the cave with complicated eyes, and said after a while: "I won't go to see it, it makes me sad."
Xie Ce stretched out his hand to hold Wei Nan's hand, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, the left and right are just my situation at that time, I just want my brother to see it when he comes back, come and find me."
Wei Nan bowed his head and remained silent.He lived a life like hell after hiding in his adoptive parents' house.He only remembered that he finally returned to this cave three days after leaving Jiang Ce, but Jiang Ce had disappeared.
From then on, Wei Nan looked for Xie Ce countless times in Tianshan Mountain over the years, but he never went into the cave to take a look.
"If I went in again in those years, maybe I would have found you long ago." Wei Nan sighed.
"Now that I think about it, my brother has always been by my side. I feel right. We are so close but we can't see each other. It is probably God's will. It is to make me better in 14 years so that I can be worthy of my brother." " Xie Ce put his arm around Wei Nan's shoulder, speaking a little sadly.
Wei Nan tilted his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pretended to be relaxed and said with red eyes: "Come on, it's almost sunset, we have to go to the wine shop you mentioned to drink!"
Xie Ce rode his horse forward with a smile, and laughed as he walked, "Brother has a little capacity for alcohol, I'm going to get drunk tonight."
"Then you can't bully me, it's only fair if I drink a cup and you drink a pot!" Wei Nan's hearty laughter sounded on the mountain road.
The horseshoes are walking on the mountain road without rush or slowness. The years are peaceful and long, enough for those who love each other to savor them carefully.
