from the crane

Not riding in a carriage for a long time, and the driver hurried on his way, it was really hard for Jiang Yin, he couldn't sleep or eat during the journey, and he vomited a lot from what he ate, Luo Shuang couldn't help him seeing him like this, so be patient It will be better after a few days.

Jiang Yin lay sick on the table, and Luo Shuang sat beside him and said softly, "After passing two bridges, the coachman said that Lixue City is not far away."

Hearing this, Jiang Yin opened the curtain of the car, and the surrounding scenery has changed drastically, with jagged rocks and only a few bare trees, leaving only black trunks.

The ground was scorched black, as if it had been hit by a fire.

"It's like a wildfire." Just as he was wondering, the carriage stopped suddenly, Jiang Yin raised his head and said, "Why did it stop?"

The coachman didn't answer, Jiang Yin was wondering when the curtain was lifted, and they dragged Jiang Yin out before he could say anything.

"Speak well, we're just passing by..."

Before Jiang Yin finished speaking, his eyes went dark, and when he woke up, he found himself tied to the fence, Luo Shuang was beside him, and on the opposite side there was a girl with delicate features and beautiful almond eyes. When Jiang Yin woke up, Immediately look over here.

"Where did you come from, are you injured?"

Jiang Yin stared at her blankly, forgot to answer for a moment, and when the girl impatiently asked him again, he realized later:

"No, no, no injury at all...Yang Pan, long time no see!" Jiang Yin looked at Yang Pan's suppressed smile and felt a little puzzled, "You are still alive."

"Could it be that you still want me to die?" Yang Pan finally couldn't help laughing out loud, his brows and eyes were curved, looking extraordinarily playful and cute, "I survived, but I'm trapped here now."

"This is the camp of Qiang Qi, why is it so close to Xuecheng?" Jiang Yin raised his eyes and saw the flag of Qiang Qi not far away, but suddenly saw a young man in black enter the tent with a blank face, followed behind him A girl in a hood.

"The war is urgent..." Yang Pan twitched the corners of his mouth. The sound of the huqin and pipa playing in the big tent over there interrupted her words, and she shrugged helplessly, but Jiang Yin heard the mixed conversations of Qiang and Qi from time to time.

"The swallow in the east can't believe it! I really can't figure out what Master Dalai is thinking, and Tuya, this little girl is completely fascinated by a little white face. The two of them must be bewitched by those Orientals. "

"Huh, the little boy's face is useless. This time we surround here, he will definitely sacrifice the city obediently. If you ask me, Tuya is really confused. There are so many mighty and majestic men in our Qiang Dynasty, but she just fell in love with a naked man." Yan people."

"Haha, I heard that the people over there like to sleep with men. It's no wonder they do that kind of thing. They all look like little girls. I don't know if they feel the same."

A burst of laughter erupted in the big tent, Jiang Yin trembled angrily, but he couldn't break free from the restraints. Seeing him like this, Yang Pan said softly, "Save your energy, don't lead them here."

"They are simply unreasonable!"

Jiang Yin's angry tone made Yang Pan frowned, and turned his head to look to the other side, but found that Luo Shuang looked at Jiang Yin calmly, without any panic or anger.

"Apan?"

When Yang Pan heard the shout, he immediately responded. Jiang Yin looked at her suspiciously, but saw a young woman wearing a white gauze coming out of the darkness.

"Sister!"

There is probably only one person who can make Yang Pan call out this title kindly as scheduled, Jiang Yin suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said politely, "Sister Zhaoge."

"Listen to me, I'll send you to the side gate in the southwest corner later, don't make any big moves, leave the camp of the Qiang relatives and return to Changhuan quickly, don't go to Xuecheng."

As Yang Zhaoge said, he let go of Yang Pan's rope, turned around and came to Jiang Yin's side to give instructions. Jiang Yin shook his head and said, "But our trip is going to Xuecheng. Sister Zhaoge, what happened to Xuecheng?"

"Don't you guys have eyes? Look at how close this tent of Qiang relatives is to Xuecheng! You are going to die in Xuecheng now." Yang Pan couldn't see Jiang Yin being so stubborn, pointing to the city gate not far away. , "A few days ago, the Qiang relatives fired arrows and attacked, and the defenders in the city were already seriously injured. You go in now and wait to be trapped and die inside."

"But my elder brother!" Jiang Yin's mouth was covered before he finished speaking, and he stared at Luo Shuang with wide eyes, full of astonishment.

"Shut up, someone is coming."

Luo Shuang's words were true. A few Qiang relatives who had gone out to hunt came back with trophies on their shoulders. Jiang Yin looked at the dying gray wolf on his shoulders, and his back felt chills for no reason.

"Don't waste any more time, let's go." Yang Zhaoge led them through a secret path, bypassing several Qiang relatives who were guarding them.

Jiang Yin followed Yang Pan forward, frowning and wanted to talk about Syracuse, but the barking of the hound made him swallow those questions.

"Who is there?"

With a little impatience in his voice, Yang Pan looked back at Jiang Yin, shook his head slightly, Yang Zhaoge frowned, strode forward, and came to the man.

When the man saw her, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raised, and he said to her in an intimate gesture, "Young Master Zhaoge, what are you doing here?"

"It's nothing." Yang Zhaoge replied coldly, and responded impatiently. Seeing this, Jiang Yin also understood a little bit. Although the young man in front of sister Zhaoge looked handsome, he was merciless when he raised his sword and killed him. He was so innocent in appearance.

"Have you found what I want?" Bai Shao backed up the bow and arrow, and casually looked at the rope in his hand, "If your younger sister doesn't know what to do, I'm afraid I'll have to be interrogated with a whip."

"Apan is young, and my aunt brought her to Xuecheng because she was worried about her. The battlefield is chaotic, and the soldier amulet may fall off the cliff with my aunt." Yang Zhaoge's voice was soft, but Bai Shao frowned, and raised his eyes to reveal a With a sarcastic smile, "You are really smart, Zhaoge, but you think highly of yourself, you can't save anyone."

As he said that, he suddenly let go of the rope in his hand, and the hounds lost their restraint and dispersed immediately. Jiang Yin's eyelids twitched, and he got up and kicked one of the hounds down.

"Look, they are all old acquaintances." Bai Shao squinted his eyes, and the silver bells rang, one after another, as if crying to death.

"Stand back!" Yang Zhaoge drew his sword and pointed it at Bai Shao, Jiang Yin also touched his waist when he heard the words, remembered something, frowned and cursed.

"You want to face me with a sword?" Bai Shao looked up at him, the coldness in his eyes could not go away, Jiang Yin noticed a rustling sound, the silver bell kept ringing, and a large group of blue spirit butterflies rushed from all directions Come, Yang Pan frowned and called "Sister", Yang Zhaoge gritted his teeth and said to her, "Run!"

"I can't run away." Bai Shao sneered, and the blue spirit butterfly fell sharply. Jiang Yin made a decisive decision to go to Yangpan. In the chaos, the horn sounded, and the order to attack the city had been issued. Soldiers with full bows gathered not far from the city gate At the same place, following the general's order, thousands of arrows rained down.

He pulled Yang Pan to rush out of the circle surrounded by blue spirit butterflies, but several guard soldiers came and forced him to separate from Yang Pan.

"Run east, Jiang Yonglin! Listen to me, take Yang Pan and run east!" Yang Zhaoge kicked the soldiers away and pushed Yang Pan forward. Bai Shao raised his hand to take the arrow, and Yang Zhaoge immediately Turn around and swing your sword to chop.

"Don't go there, you will alarm the people at the big tent."

Luo Shuang quickly stopped Jiang Yin, who was in a panic, and Jiang Yin turned around in a hurry. He never felt safe. Yang Zhaoge's words made him dizzy for a while, and he couldn't tell which side was east.

"Come back to your senses! You are dying!" Yang Pan yelled at Jiang Yin in a sharp voice, and Jiang Yin quickly backed away after hearing this, dodging a feathered arrow.

"Where should I go? How do I get out of here?" Luo Shuang held Jiang Yin's wrist tightly, and the soft sword at his waist was pulled out. Jiang Yin saw that the silver snake-like blade cut the butterfly in front of him. Falling down, the technique is neat, and the blow is fatal. He turned to look at Yang Pan, but saw Bai Shao's ferocious face.

"I want to leave, right? Leave me alone...don't dream!"

He drew his bow, feathers and arrows as fast as lightning. Luo Shuang sensed the danger and turned around to block it. The silver bell rang quickly, one overriding the other, and the butterfly struck fiercely, blocking the sun.

Luo Shuang snorted, clenched the soft sword tightly, Jiang Yin frowned and looked at him, he clenched his teeth and walked away quickly.

Yang Pan caught up with them, his hair was already disheveled, and his face was covered with mud. He looked very embarrassed, and stumbled into a secluded forest. When night fell, the three stopped.

The fire was lit, and the orange flames illuminated the darkness. Jiang Yin helped Luo Shuang to sit down, his eyes full of worry.

His skin was hot and trembling all the time, and the wound on his left shoulder had already festered. Luo Shuang endured the pain and pulled out the arrow. The silver arrow was thrown on the ground with a crisp sound, and a few drops of black blood splashed down. , Yang Pan frowned and picked up the feather arrow, and said in a low voice, "This arrow has been poisoned."

"What kind of poison is it?" Jiang Yin looked at Luo Shuang's blackened wound and couldn't help asking, Yang Pan shook his head and said he didn't know, Luo Shuang leaned against Jiang Yin a little tiredly, and said with a foul breath, "Fenglang Poison. "

"Damn!" Yang Pan exclaimed, and hurriedly said to Jiang, "Stay away from him, don't be hurt by him!"

The orange light reflected Luo Shuang's painful expression. Jiang Yin looked down at him, and saw his crow-black eyelashes flickering, and his red lips lost their color. He wanted to say something, but Luo Shuang's hand was tight. He grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"Fenglang poison, the wounds of the poisoned person turn black and fester, and die of madness..."

His words became softer and softer, until at last Jiang Yin couldn't even hear the sound, and pushed him lightly, but he didn't respond.

Just fainted temporarily...

Jiang Yin went to pull Luo Shuang's hand that was tightly gripping his sleeve, but he couldn't pull it away. When he frowned, Yang Pan came to his side quietly.

Throwing some dry firewood into the fire, Yang Pan held his chin and whispered, "Kill him before dawn, and then we will go east."

"Don't be kidding, we came together, of course we have to go back together." Jiang Yin immediately retorted after hearing this, her tone was undeniably stubborn. Yang Pan always hated this kind of tone, but she couldn't convince Jiang Yin at all, she knew it too well This person is dead, no one can change the decision, even if he hits the south wall, he will not change his direction even if his head is broken.

Instead of arguing, Yang Pan decided to talk to him calmly and wiped off the plaster on his face. Yang Pan said softly, "Now that there are many Qiang relatives, we should be careful. Sister can hold back Bai Shao for a while. I can't live forever."

"...If it doesn't work, let's go to Xuecheng and walk through the woods at night, we can bypass the guards of Qiang Qi without anyone noticing." Jiang Yin thought about it in his heart, but still felt that going to Xuecheng was the best way to go. The best choice right now.

Qiang Qi's pursuers are still searching, and if they go east, they will inevitably encounter the main force. Luo Shuang's injury can't be delayed any longer, this is already the best choice.

"You..." Yang Pan didn't know what to say for a while, she got up helplessly, she didn't want to bother to say anything, anyway, nothing can change this person's decision, so let him go.

She picked up the torch and looked back at Jiang Yin. Jiang Yin carried Luo Shuang on his back and strode forward.

The silence of the woods at night was a bit scary, the dark leaves swayed with the wind in the darkness, making strange noises, and the sound of cuckoos came from a distance, and soon fell into silence.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw a light. Yang Pan was overjoyed and started running quickly.

This side door has long been forgotten, and there are piles of sundries and wooden boards, and there are even several graves. The tombstones have fallen to the ground for a long time, and the inscriptions on them have long been worn away. Holding the torch, Yang Pan stepped on the fallen tombstones without any fear. Push away the sundries vigorously.

The insects scattered, Yang Pan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and kicked towards the dilapidated wooden door.

Jiang Yin struggled to keep up with Yang Pan's footsteps, and saw this scene as soon as he raised his eyes. Before he stepped forward to help, Yang Pan kicked open the wooden door and looked back at him.

"If the road ahead is blocked by bricks and stones, then you have to listen to me no matter what. Let's go east."

Jiang Yin responded and followed behind Yang Pan. The long black wall hole seemed to have no end. The sound of rodents was infinitely amplified in this environment. Jiang Yin suddenly had a bad feeling. His face was pressed against him, and the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier.

As she was walking, Yang Pan suddenly stopped, Jiang Yin asked her what was wrong, but she turned sideways and said nothing.

The strong smell is disgusting, dead bodies are strewn all over the cobblestone streets, broken long swords and wet blood sting your eyes, vendors sell things scattered all over the place, and several red-eyed vicious dogs are biting a piece of rotten meat.

The soldiers guarding the city were located on the tower above. Jiang Yin looked up, but saw a full moon hanging in the middle, and the cold light made people feel chills.

"Let's go in." Jiang Yin opened his mouth and only spit out this sentence. The two walked forward, but they heard someone singing something in the distance.

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for what the nobleman wants, Lan Yinxu Guo, a dream, different paths will eventually lead to different destinations."

The gate of the prefect's mansion was quiet, but Jiang Yin slammed the gate but no one came. Just before his patience was exhausted, he suddenly heard footsteps.

"Yang Pan?"

Yang Pan's pupils shrank, and the surprise on her face was not less than that of that person. She stared at him blankly, and said, "An Ji...no, Mr. An."

The face of the person on the opposite side changed, but Jiang Yin didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, "Prefect of Xuecheng, where is Mr. Jiang?"

"Are you here to find Mr. Jiang?" The man was taken aback, and quickly saluted, "An Zixi in Xuecheng."

"Jiang Yonglin!" Jiang Yin stepped forward and said anxiously, "Someone of us is injured, go and tell Master Jiang."

After walking through the long corridor and several side rooms, he came to the inner courtyard. After crossing the porch, Jiang Yin saw his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Jiang Ze's originally frowning brows relaxed, but when he saw Jiang Yin, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and called softly, "Third brother."

Jiang Yin handed Luo Shuang to An Zixi, stepped forward to salute, and the two entered the house. The long-term hardship was finally washed away by this short meeting.

Jiang Yin took a sip of tea, frowned, and just wanted to complain, but met his elder brother's eyes that were a little lost. Seeing that there were a few silver hairs on his sideburns, and there was a lingering sorrow between his brows, Jiang Yin simply closed his eyes. on his own mouth.

It's not that he's afraid of his elder brother, but he can't see Jiang Ze being so sluggish. When he was a child, his neighbors always praised Jiang Ze for being smart and handsome, but he really lived up to everyone's expectations and stepped up to the top.

He held a high position in the court, and everyone respected him. At that time, the eldest brother was in high spirits. At that time, Jiang Yin always talked about my eldest brother when he talked with others, but he never imagined that the Qiang relatives would invade and the late emperor died in battle.

The little emperor came up to clean up the chess game, and the elder brother was demoted to Syracuse by an imperial edict. Although it was a promotion on the surface, in reality...

Jiang Yin looked at his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, feeling a little sad for no reason, Jiang Ze sensed his sobriety, and smiled at him, "Why, I haven't seen you for a few months, have you become dumb?"

To be honest, Jiang Ze is indeed a handsome young man, but compared with Jiang Yin, their temperaments are very different.

The corners of Jiang Ze's eyes are raised, and there is always a bit of warmth between his brows and eyes. When he is not smiling, he will not make people feel unapproachable. When he smiles, he will make people feel like a spring breeze. Jiang Yin is not at all refined, that youthful air is on him It was vividly reflected, and when he smiled, he carried that playful feeling of a child, which made people think that he was still young and a brat.

Jiang Yin curled her lips and said softly, "It took me all my life to meet my eldest brother, but you are welcome, you should make fun of me first."

Jiang Ze shook his head when he heard the words, sighed softly and said seriously, "Mother asked you to come, right, but at this time..."

"Brother, are you talking about Qiang relatives? Why is their camp so close to Syracuse?"

The author has something to say: An Zixi is not too bad, he just has a different brain circuit from others.

An Zixi: Lingnan lychees are delicious. If the harvest fails, the consequences will be as serious as the war in the Northwest.

Emperor Xianhuang: Just be patient. Where can such a talented person be lost? Isn't it just that his head is a little abnormal.

Little Emperor: I like litchi too, but you can go home now.
