Big Han Weiyang

Gillian kept losing her temper.

The soft blue silk shoes allowed her to persist for half a mile.When I took off the shoes, my pearly toes were bruised and purple from the cold.I wrapped her feet in fox fur and stuffed them with thick silk cloth.She fought back and insisted.

Because Liu Zhi and I were going to ride horses, we wore high boots (鞾). Just like that, we were gradually soaked in snow water. At first, it hurt like a needle prick, and then it was difficult for the whole foot to land, and then it was frozen from the knees down again. It's cold and woody, and when you step on the ground, you can't feel whether it's snow or mud under your feet.

Keep falling down, keep getting up, the three of them are extremely embarrassed.However, every time I feel that I can't walk anymore and I want to find a place to rest, I feel like a light is on my back.Only moving forward can give me peace of mind.

The only thing we can do is move forward.

I couldn't stand myself doing nothing but waiting for someone else to come to my rescue.I believe Emperor Jing will come to save us.However, a certain corner of my heart questioned, what if he didn't come.The people in the palace should have discovered that we were missing last night.If it's fast, we should be able to find us at noon. Why hasn't anyone come yet?

Emperor Jing has more than a dozen sons, he doesn't even want Liu Rong, and it's nothing if Liu Zhi and I are missing.

On the day Liu Rong left, hundreds of soldiers who were monitoring his country, and Emperor Jing's gentle and joyful demeanor appeared before my eyes.

I shook my head, letting myself forget that ridiculous thought.go on!Every step he takes, he gets closer to Weiyang Palace.

A lone bird of prey flits across the white miserly clouds.The sky is blue and high, and the boundless blue seems to have solidified, covering the vague edge of the snow.We, who were advancing slowly, were crushed in the snow like ants.

In the evening, we leaned against a huge rock and cleared the frozen snow by the edge of the forest to rest.

In order to light the bonfire, I grind out a hand of blood bubbles.

There is no pot, the wet firewood emits choking smoke, and the half-baked horse meat is unpalatable.Gillian took a few bites and dropped it.How can Liu Zhi and I have an appetite.I endured the nausea and filled my stomach, and then my teeth and cheeks were numb from the cold.

Four or five layers of animal fur were spread on the ground, but it still couldn't stop the invading cold air.Gillian lying next to me had all her long hair loose, as if it would make her feel warmer.She frowned tightly, her rosy lips had lost color from the cold, and her cheeks were so pale that they were almost blue.

Liu Zhi stayed in the middle of the night.

When he woke me up, I suddenly saw a few pairs of green eyes outside the fire behind him.There is nothing but appetite in the erect pupils.

Liu Zhi tensed up all over.As long as he backed down a little, those wild beasts that were staring at him would rush over.I picked up the crossbow and took his place, and he relaxed and smiled wryly at me.

In just one day, his skinny eyes grew bigger, and the jet black pupils reflected the dancing flames.

The sky is full of stars falling down on the four fields, as bright and gorgeous as the seventh day of July, the day Liu Zhi and I were born.If our lives end here, with such a beautiful scenery, on Huangquan Road, it can be considered a thought.I thought wildly about letting Liu Zhi fall asleep, while I leaned against the tree trunk, picked up the crossbow and confronted the unknown beast.

During the day, Gillian used her complaints and anger to cover up her weakness, pretending to be indifferent, but suddenly burst into tears in her dream.The exhausted Liu Zhi tossed and turned restlessly.I tucked in the slipped lambskin cloak for both of them.

Fearing the fire and arrows, the beasts lingered until dawn, and finally left reluctantly.

The next day, our physical strength was worse than last night before we went to bed.

The burden is as heavy as a pile of rocks.He couldn't eat much horse meat, and his stomach was unbearably hungry.

We left after we carved 'WEST' on the trunk.

After walking for about half a mile, Gillian suddenly stopped.Her shoulders in the cloak trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I can't walk anymore!" she said loudly, kneeling in the snow, covering her face with her hands, and crying.

We are only at the age of weeping hair, how can we be as strong as we show.Liu Zhi's eyes turned red, and she almost made her cry.He wiped his nose covertly.

"Sister Gillian, let me carry you." I handed over the burden to Liu Zhi alone, pulled Gillian up from the ground, and wiped the snow off her lap.

The deeper the feet sank in the snow, the slower the forward speed.

Liu Zhi looked back at me worriedly several times.

Gillian on her back seemed not quite right, her body was a little hot, her face was bright red, she had a fever.But neither Liu Zhi nor I can do anything.

"A Yue, I know you won't leave me," A Jiao muttered nonsense, "You definitely won't."

Where does her confidence come from?Liu She and I looked at each other and smiled wryly again.

I told Gillian that it would take three days because according to common sense, Emperor Jing would find us within three days at the latest.

At noon, my legs became more and more numb.Breathing is so difficult, every time I take in a breath, my lungs hurt badly.I looked up, the pale sun and the snow became one, and the world spun in an instant, and I staggered and fell down.

Like Liu Zhi, he couldn't hold it anymore, his legs softened, and he knelt down beside me. "A Yue, how are you?" His voice was hoarse.

Gillian rolled from my back and fell into a depression in the hills, nobody knows.

"Ah, someone is following us." I didn't have the strength to stand up, the sun was dazzling through the uneven clouds.

"I felt it last night. There were probably two people. Do you think they will be the ones who came to save us?" He said to me with his hands on the ground as if he was overwhelmed by the package.

"It's more like they came to kill us. But why didn't they do it all the time? Don't they think they can't beat the two children?" I smiled sarcastically.

Liu She touched the crossbow: "Maybe they want to see us die on the road. This way we don't have to do it ourselves."

"But they can't wait forever, because Father's men will definitely come. Even if Father doesn't come, we can always walk back to Weiyang Palace. So before any of these two things are realized, they will do it." I said.

Liu Zhi stood up on his knees and said, "They made a move, which means we can go back to the palace soon."

"But we can't wait until then, otherwise the situation will be even more unfavorable. We have to lure him out before we still have strength." I smiled with difficulty, and stretched out my hand to him.

There is no need to discuss in detail what to do, we already have a full understanding.

He pulled me up from the snow.

In the afternoon, it snowed.I carried Gillian on my back, taking three steps and one rest.There was nothing in sight.

Before the sun goes down, find a shallow cave that's two people high.

Was attacked by a wild boar in the evening.It came rushing through the gaps in the fire, and we didn't have time to aim, and we only shot it in the flesh.Liu Zhi was knocked over by a wild boar and could barely move his right arm.

The poison smeared on the arrows slowed the boar down.We hurriedly exhausted the last arrow in the crossbow, but we didn't shoot it to death.

I dropped my crossbow and drew my sword.

The wild boar rushed towards Liu Zhi again in a frenzy. I chased after him, raised my sword, held my breath, and stabbed with all my strength.

If it is a little bit off, the sword will pass through the thick skin of its neck; if it is a bit shallower, it will be more frenzied by the pain.And then it's all over.Liu Zhi would have his neck broken by it, and Gillian and I were equally unreasonable.

The sword pierced the wild boar's hard skin, as if slipping through the gaps in the muscles, smoothly penetrated its neck, and nailed it to the ground.

The two fell limply to the ground together, and I couldn't believe that I would have such great strength in an instant.

A miserable victory.The scar on my arm began to ooze blood, and Liu She could not lift not only his right hand, but also his left.

Difficult to pile up the scattered firewood, eat half-raw horse meat, and face the difficult second night.

In this state, in another two or three days, no, maybe tomorrow we will die in this snow.

During the vigil we both fell asleep and neither remembered to wake the other.Waking up in the morning, is more serious hunger, cold, tired.Fortunately, I found that my ears and nose were all there, and outside the extinguished fire, the bloody wild boar was eaten by wild animals yesterday, leaving only residue.

Gillian didn't wake up.I covered her with a big fur, dropped the burden, and supported each other on the road with Liu Zhi.

I hope that within today, we can find Renyan alive, or be found by Emperor Jing's people.Only then can we come back and save Gillian.If we take her with us, we won't even be able to walk fifty feet.

I hate this feeling of powerlessness.

Before stepping out of the grove, an arrow swished through between me and Liu Zhi, inserted into a bare tree trunk, and the snow fell down.

What should come will come, we slowly turned around.There were four people on the other side, two big Han sergeants in red and black armor, a middle-aged man with a civilian appearance, and a young man.

"Your Highness, I have finally found you." The leading sergeant showed a surprised expression.

We were a little taken aback.

"Your Highness, you have been missing for nearly three days, hurry up and return to the palace with your subordinates," he seemed to understand our question, and explained, "This subordinate belongs to the Nangong Guard Camp, these two are locals who are familiar with the road We will follow the marks left by your Highnesses to find them, and other searchers will arrive soon."

"By the way, where is Lord Gillian? Could it be that she..." The sergeant showed a sad look, and took a step forward.

Let's take a step back.

What happened to that arrow just now, and why did you press the hilt of your sword and treat us as fools?

"Young Master Gillian is fine. Wait a moment, the widow and King Jiaodong have something to say." Since he was willing to act, I tried to order.

"Your Highness, please leave quickly, the Emperor and Empress Dowager Dou are very concerned." The sergeant walked forward, but the seriousness on his face gradually turned into a smile.The other sergeant had a drooping left arm and seemed to be injured. Was it the coachman from that night?He obviously didn't feel that we would pose a threat to his superiors, so he didn't pay any attention, but looked around vigilantly.

Liu Zhi and I tried to stay calm and backed away without a trace.

"Ah, now we have to separate and escape, so that one of us can survive."

Liu Zhi hesitated to speak.

The leading sergeant gradually approached.The boots stepped on the snow step by step.

"There's no time, before they get serious, Ah Shih listen to me," I gazed into his eyes and pointed behind him, "I'll count to three, you flee south, everyone is resigned to fate. If both of them survive , then see you in Chang'an."

"Then you..." he said hesitantly.

I pulled out a pale smile: "Of course I am heading north. If I am the one who survived, I will kill these people alive to avenge you. The same goes for you. Go quickly."

"one……"

Liu Shi pursed his lips, but refused to move.

"Two..." The sergeant looked over with great interest.

I point to the south behind him.

His eyes, which were still dancing with flames even when facing the wild boar's fangs, gradually cooled down and became darker.He looked at me deeply, took a step back, and turned slightly.

"three!"

I pulled out my sword and rushed towards those people.The leading sergeant didn't have time to draw his bow, so he simply didn't use the bow and arrow. He waited calmly for me to approach, and then flew up and kicked me.

The soles of his boots were extremely hard, and he kicked on the softest stomach again. I felt that the entire internal organs were displaced, and the pain was so extreme that I couldn't feel it.I fell from mid-air in a mess, curled up and couldn't move for a while.If it weren't for the hunting armor inside, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot.

Immediately after me is Liu She.

He didn't even escape.

However, he is so brave and foolish that I can't bear to watch him.

Liu Zhi was so impatient that he didn't even have time to draw out his saber, but the sergeant hit him on his left arm with the bronze sword, and I almost heard the sound of bones breaking.He fell heavily with me.

"Didn't I want you to run away!" I wiped the blood off my face, gritted my teeth and said a few words.

Liu Zhi almost twitched from the pain in his hugging arm, still grinning and said: "You used this trick when you were young. You said that everyone danced together, but you danced first. You thought I would do the same trick this time." What? Am I that stupid?"

I can't wait to slap his smiling face distortedly. Is it the moment of life and death for a child to vent his anger?

"Why are your highnesses running away?" the sergeant smiled while holding his sword.

Although there was no way to hide, I still tried my best to move back a little, and glared: "You are not sent by the emperor."

"Oh, do you see? You nobles who have been raised with delicacies and have not suffered a little bit of suffering, actually have some brains." He kicked me away in a relaxed and leisurely manner again.

Hitting a tree trunk, the falling snow nearly buried me.

The sergeant stopped his false smile and showed real disgust, "Wrong, it should be said that he is worthy of being a big man prince, cunning and vicious."

He slammed his sword on the ground: "I really didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death, you would actually look like brothers, tsk tsk. I was really looking forward to the ugly appearance of your brothers killing each other."

The snow powder on the tip of my hair melted into ice water, dripping from my eyelashes.Without blinking my eyes, I curled up on the ground clutching my lower abdomen, gritted my teeth and swallowed the blood back, watched his every move nervously, and the knuckles holding the sword hilt turned white.

"Why do you, who are so vicious and cruel, still have brotherhood at all." The sergeant was furious and irrational, "But if you understand brotherhood, why do you treat other people's lives like nothing!"

"I know you." A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "You look very similar to that eunuch who committed theft."

"He's my brother. You killed him, and I'm here to avenge him!" He drew his sword and stabbed me in the chest.

I resist with a horizontal sword.He is in his prime, I am not yet ten years old, if I can block him, it would be a joke.However, he was not in a hurry to kill me, but slowly pressed the sword closer and closer.

"The eunuch was punished by the three clans for stealing sacrificial objects from the palace. Since you are his younger brother, why are you still alive?" I said through gritted teeth.

"Because I was poor in my family, I was adopted to someone else. But that family didn't care about me, only he took care of me all the time. How can you understand this kind of poor people's things?"

"I could have killed you the moment you stepped out of the carriage, but I didn't. I want you high princes to die like ordinary people, no, like dogs in the winter with no food or anything to keep out the cold. wilderness."

"You sacrificed yourselves to the public and violated your duty. Aren't you a Nangong guard?"

When the sergeant heard this, he laughed ferociously: "You killed my only brother just for fun. As a royal family, you don't need to spare the people. As a sergeant of the Han Dynasty, why can't I kill you? You die Under my sword, it is really a cycle of karma, and the retribution is not good."

"Having fun?" I tasted these two words with difficulty.

The tip of the sword slashed across my saber, making an ear-piercing sound, then pierced through the gap in the armor and pierced into my chest.The cold touch seemed to go straight to the heart.

"Stop!" Liu Zhi tremblingly drew his crossbow and pointed it at the sergeant, "If you don't stop, I'll shoot the arrow!"
