[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

The water and the wind are light, the apple blossoms are getting old, the moon dew is cold, and the leaves are yellow.

Zhan Zhao was awakened from his drowsy consciousness by the unusual vibrations under his body. The first thing he felt was a piercing pain from head to toe. Crack-like cramping pain - is the sequelae of Ziyan Luo poison, although it is not as painful as when Gu poison attacks, but this kind of continuous pain wears down his barely conscious mind all the time.

They had already fled in this mountain forest for a day and two nights, and the sun on the third day had revealed a faint morning light on the horizon.Chasing, wounding, lack of effective treatment and supplies, physical and internal energy loss are very serious.Zhan Zhao didn't even bear it all night—or if it wasn't for Bai Yutang's desperate opposition, he never had the thought of forbearance at all—when a big knife was slashed at Bai Yutang from his back, he forcibly raised his internal strength and swung his sword to kill Bai Yutang. It pierced through.

Gu poison does not attack quickly, just like Zi Yanluo needs a day and a night of dormancy when saving people, when it urges life, there is also a day and night window period, during which the internal force of the person affected by the Gu will disappear layer by layer. The faster it will be, until it disappears completely in the end, and is completely under the control of the voodoo person.

Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, motioning for him to put him down, Bai Yutang gave him a worried look, but didn't say anything, and let him down obediently—the whole way of chasing and fleeing, both of them were scarred Fortunately, there is always at least one person who can stay awake, and can continue on the road when the opponent is unconscious, so as not to be overtaken by the guards behind.They tacitly understood Zhan Zhao's diminished internal strength, but tried their best to keep Bai Yutang's strength in order to deal with the following officers and soldiers alone.

As soon as Zhan Zhao touched the ground, his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly supported the tree trunk on one side, and a strong soreness quickly spread from his knees. He gritted his teeth without making a sound.Zhan Zhao knew in his heart that his deadline was at sunrise this morning. After that, he would lose all his skills and be subject to King Xiangyang... He clenched his fists and didn't say anything to Bai Yutang At that time, let go of his words of leaving on his own, saying such words now is only an insult to Bai Yutang and himself.They are already very tired, there is no need to waste energy on unnecessary quarrels.

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes, the pain in his body was getting stronger and stronger, causing his heart to beat erratically, his joints seemed to be frozen in ice, he clenched his teeth desperately to maintain his normal posture. He controlled his body trembling slightly, but dense sweat still gushed out instantly, wetting his pale cheeks.

Footsteps came from behind again—the king of Xiangyang dispersed all the troops into groups one by one, and when they saw them, they communicated with each other with loud arrows. At the beginning, they could quickly subdue the soldiers before the arrows were released, but now, The ubiquitous and closely connected group battles have caused them huge troubles, such as now—— Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, turned around to meet them, the giant tower flashed a light, first cut off the rising arrow, and then entangled with the five members of the group. fight together.

Zhan Zhao now has very little internal energy left, but he can flexibly control his body before the poison is released, almost completely relying on exquisite sword moves to fight, after the five people all fell, he also staggered forward , while Bai Yutang hurriedly supported him, but he fell to the ground together with him.

The two were relatively speechless, and seeing each other's embarrassment, they suddenly burst into laughter. Bai Yutang laughed and cursed intermittently while panting: "Fifth Master...cough, it's never...never before, such a embarrassing time... ...Ahem, look at your cat, you really look like eleven drowned cats..."

Zhan Zhao also laughed, but he showed a silent smile, sweat slipped down the sharp edges and corners, and he didn't care, as if he wanted to shame Chaoyang, who hadn't shown his head yet, and burrowed back into the clouds.

According to past experience, a team from this direction has just come over and will not face another group of fights in a short time. They also hugged each other and fell to the ground, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Bai Yutang was about to continue teasing, but Zhan Zhao's expression was fixed, he coughed out a mouthful of blood, feeling that his cultivation level had dropped by another level, his eyes became darker, and the rat's face that was close at hand also became blurred.

Bai Yutang pursed his lips and stopped talking. The two of them rested for a while, and then supported each other to go on the road again.

The sun was shining brightly, and the bright red morning glow was layered on the horizon, which was very magnificent.In the mountains, after noon, a heavy downpour arrived as scheduled. While hindering the search by the pursuers, it also aggravated the already unoptimistic injuries of the two of them.

As the evening approached, there were several entanglements again. The heavy rain drenched the two of them, and even the night seemed to fall earlier. The sky was dark and oppressive.

The two of them hid among the low bushes, watching the officers and soldiers who came and went to search - Zhan Zhao's internal strength had long since disappeared, and Bai Yutang's physical strength had also reached its limit during the whole day's fighting. the point.

Although the sky is dark now, it is only a matter of time before the officers and soldiers find their hiding places.

At this moment, a small soldier rushed here to search, and the two of them looked at each other with wry smiles: When did they take such a role seriously before, but now, the two of them simply don't even have the strength to swing their swords, and they are about to become A stepping stone for someone to get promoted and get rich.

Seeing the little soldier getting closer and closer, both of them felt resigned to their fate. Seeing that he had already stretched out his hand to push aside the cover in front of him, Bai Yutang was about to give it a go, but saw the man rushing to the side without a sound, falling headlong fell in the bushes.

Both of them were a little dazed, and then looked closely at the place just now, only to see a familiar figure trembling out of the shadows.

"Xiao Wu——!" Bai Yutang was shocked, the trembling figure holding a steel knife, isn't it Zhang Wu who should have returned to Yunyang long ago?

As soon as Zhang Wu saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, he threw aside the steel knife he had picked up in his hand, covered his mouth and cried—in his impression, these two people have always been perfect and powerful, one arrogantly like The scorching sun, who is as elegant as the bright moon, stays by their side, they don't have to think about anything, they will build up a barrier to protect them from the wind and rain... But now, the sky is pouring down with rain, and they just fall down without any shelter In the bushes, his face was pale and haggard, as if he was about to close his eyes in the next second.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Tang..." Zhang Wu stepped forward to help the two of them up and let them sit on the tree trunk. Just as they called each other, they burst into tears again, choked up and unable to speak.

"Xiao Wu, you..."

"Xiao Wu," Zhan Zhao, who seemed to be in a coma and seemed to be distracted just now, suddenly raised his head, his eyes shone brightly in the darkness, he interrupted Bai Yutang's last words, and asked decisively, "Take you, Big Brother Tang Get out, can you do it?"

"Cat, you...!" Bai Yutang was so frightened that he almost jumped up, he wanted to ask Zhan Zhao, how could he say such a thing, how could...

"Yutang," Zhan Zhao looked back at him, there was no trace of impurity in his clear eyes, "Listen to me, the situation we are facing now is just like the endgame yesterday, and Xiao Wu is our lifeline... Do you still remember me? Did you say anything... Leaving aside the fact that he is a young man, it is impossible to take the two of us who are seriously injured out at the same time, even if we could, we would not be able to do that."

"In that case, Mao'er, Bai Yutang will never escape alone..."

"What about the alliance letter!" Zhan Zhao asked loudly, "Why did we come to Xiangyang? What caused our current situation! Bai Yutang, listen, you and Xiao Wu go first, and take this If the king of Xiangyang can't find the alliance letter, he will think that I am hiding you. He thinks you are dead, so he will withdraw his troops, so you can escape safely... and when the time comes, I will be the only one who knows Where is the letter of alliance...so he will never kill me..." Seeing that Bai Yutang opened his mouth to speak, he interrupted with a wave of his hand, and continued, "Yes, he will torture me, but a little pain, show So-and-so won't take it to heart... I've lost all my skills, and I'm absolutely unable to escort the alliance book all the way to Beijing, only you, Yutang, the only reliable and usable person around us now is you!"

Bai Yutang's eyes were red, he stared fiercely at Zhan Zhao, speechless, while Zhang Wu was already stunned by this intense scene, and wanted to say something, but the aura between the two of them could not be added at all. Enter half a word.

"Yutang," Zhan Zhao said softly, "This is the best arrangement. Don't you want us to die here together, the conspiracy of the King of Xiangyang will never see the light of day, and the people of the world suffer from wars and chaos? Can you live and die with Yutang?" Xu, I have no regrets...cough, I will wait for you here...waiting for you to save me."

Bai Yutang was never an indecisive person. He stared into Zhan Zhao's eyes, suddenly threw himself on him and pressed him down, biting down on his light-colored lips, grinding and gnawing until the two mouths burst into tears. There was a strong bloody smell.He got up, quickly used the limited tools to repair the unlucky soldier to be somewhat similar to himself, made the same wound, and finally exchanged items with him, pulled Zhang Wu who was in a trance, and looked deeply Glancing at Zhan Zhao, he was about to leave.

"Yutang..." Zhan Zhao stopped him, and handed over his sword with difficulty, "Take it away for me, the Juque cannot fall into the hands of King Xiangyang..."

The muscles on the side of Bai Yutang's cheeks twitched, and he took the sword. The snow-white mouse on the hilt smiled at him carefree and triumphantly.

Suddenly his eyes were sore, he walked a few steps, and when he finally looked back, he saw Zhan Zhao smiling decisively at him, as beautiful as the morning sun in the darkness: "Yutang...I love you..."

Seeing the figures of the two people disappear, Zhan Zhao struggled to stand up against the tree trunk, and smiled with the corners of his mouth. The wound on his left shoulder pierced by the sharp knife was in severe pain due to the heavy pressure. He grinned and forced himself into a more comfortable position. Looking at the dense forest in the distance, another lone soldier who was eager for merit came over vigilantly, and fired the sounding arrow he carried with him.

He smiled silently towards the sky: I hope they move faster, so as not to threaten Yutang and Xiaowu.

In an instant, King Xiangyang arrived with a large number of soldiers, glanced at the chaotic situation with a sinking face, and waved his hands to signal the soldiers to come forward to collect the alliance letter.

Zhan Zhao coughed and let those vulgar soldiers grope around himself and the corpse of "Bai Yutang" on the ground, and sneered at King Xiangyang: "My lord, don't waste your efforts in vain."
