Bright moon out of Tianshan

The situation took such a turn for the worse, but Zhao Yuancai remained calm in the face of danger. He stretched out his hand and tightened the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Order, tell the soldiers not to panic, and retreat slowly! Tell Xiaoxiao to stop playing the flute, and don't play it yet!"

The herald passed the order from afar, Xiao Jian was very obedient, and he listened to the sound of the flute, but it was too late. The soldiers of Zhao State panicked in the melee, and those who were lying down and those who were killed were screaming fiercely. both.Qi Jia desperately guarded Zhao Yuancai, a guard opened the way and slowly retreated forward, but suddenly dust and smoke rose in front of him, and was stopped by a group of people.

Gao Huai held a spear horizontally in his hand, and blocked his way with a sullen face.

Zhao Yuancai sneered: "His Royal Highness, I set up an ambush and you dismantle it. Why don't you dismantle it after it's done well?"

Gao Huai said: "I'm tired, I don't want to dismantle it."

Zhao Yuancai scolded: "Treacherous! Thank you for looking like a gentleman!"

Gao Huai said: "Xiao Wang doesn't think there is anything wrong with his appearance and character. Your Majesty is the king of a country. He came here to swear, but he lost his dignity. He is still a strong outsider, and dare not fight me. So you are procrastinating for help?"

Zhao Yuancai was furious, pointed at him and said, "Gao Huai, do you know that I really want to kill you!"

Gao Huai said: "I know, the hero sees the same thing, I really want to kill you too! Stop talking nonsense, let's fight alone, I am younger than Your Majesty, so you are welcome." Suddenly the spear shot Shaking, a gun pierced through with strong wind.

Zhao Yuancai was so angry that he was so angry that he quickly raised his knife to block. The two men fought back and forth with swords and guns. Suddenly speeding up, like falling flowers, rushing towards, Zhao Yuancai was caught off guard, and was stabbed in the rib by him. In great pain and fury, his long knife swept over like a gust of wind, but Gao Huai suddenly used his knife The wind pulled away, abandoned the horse, and fell three feet away. Throwing the spear casually, he even pulled out a sword with his backhand. The bright white long sword raised slightly, raising a gorgeous and charming brilliance in the winter sun. , and then pointed at Zhao Yuancai from afar, the sharp sword energy made Zhao Yuancai's eyes sting, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily to cover his eyes.

Taking advantage of his opportunity, Gao Huai pounced on him like a ghost. Qi Jia behind Zhao Yuancai's face changed drastically. He dismounted in an instant and forcibly grabbed Zhao Yuancai. There was the sound of the hand-to-hand exchange of weapons, and in an instant the two had already exchanged seven or eight moves.

Qi Jia was very experienced and could see that Gao Huai was already intent on killing. If he used the Sword of Hundred Sorrows and Thousand Injuries at his emperor, he would definitely kill Zhao Yuancai.Therefore, he did not dare to be negligent at all, and stood firmly in front of the emperor.

Among the thousands of troops, Gao Huai and Qi Jia were moving back and forth, the aura of swords and swords was so strong that others could not get close to them, and the whole crowd was staring at each other.Gao Huai tried to grab Zhao Yuancai's side many times, but was blocked by Qi Jia.In his anger, he urged the momentum of the sword, and all the sorrows and injuries were brought to the extreme in an instant, and the shadows of the sword rushed in one after another, just like the endless falling trees, and the endless Yangtze River rolling in, surging and sweeping.

With a tiger roar, Qi Jia swung the long knife away, and the strong wind did not let the wind fall in the slightest.The two of them went crazy at the same time, and the raging waves rolled up made the people around them stagger like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and they couldn't avoid them one by one.Zhao Yuancai wanted to rush up to help Qi Jia meet the enemy, but was stopped by several Dongqi lieutenants who came behind Gao Huai, and then the five kings also came together, and then the generals of Zhao Guo also came together, and a scuffle started.

Xiao Jian and Xiu Mei had been watching the battle, watching Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses being killed and defeated in the chaos. Want to be defeated?"

Xiao Jian glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability to predict, how do I know? I just think that you are too young, and I don't want you to take more risks." He stared intently at the fight on the battlefield, and said: "Zhao Yuancai At this moment, we should withdraw our soldiers and horses. It is the key to defend Luzhou well. The so-called defeat is like a mountain. If the melee continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable." Looking at Zhao Yuancai, Qi Jia and others being besieged by soldiers and horses of Dongqi , Zhao Yuancai was already angry, rushing left and right like a wild lion, with more and more injuries on his body, he suddenly said: "Let's go, you and I will combine swords and swords, and go to rescue His Majesty the Emperor!"

Gao Huai tried to rush forward several times to kill Zhao Yuancai, and Zhao Yuancai also wanted to fight Gao Huai who was wielding a sword, but Qi Jia and a group of soldiers blocked him, and no one succeeded.During the melee, the soldiers of Zhao State retreated one after another, and Zhao Yuancai also retreated surrounded by guards, but was stopped by Dongqi's soldiers and horses, unable to leave.Just at this time Xiao Jian and Xiu Mei led people to kill them, and finally caught up with Zhao Yuancai and the others, and they fought and left, slowly retreating.

Gao Huai saw it, glared at Zhao Yuancai fiercely, and said in his heart: "Today, I can only forgive you first, so as not to make it difficult for you to go back." They were also driven out of the Jiazhai set up by Zhao Guo like a storm, and there was another bloody fight. In the end, even the soldiers stationed in the Jiazhai were killed in pieces, and the rest retreated into Luzhou City one after another. over the drawbridge.

Zhao Yuancai was forcibly taken into the city by Qi Jia pulling the reins of the horse, but his body was covered in blood, and his expression was strange, as if he was angry, but also somewhat high-spirited.Seeing his appearance, Xiao Jian didn't dare to go to him, so he stepped back.But I heard him yelling wildly: "My lord, I have never suffered such a big loss and suffered so many injuries! Kill! Kill back!" The knife in his hand slashed with too much force, and immediately cut a guard beside him in two, blood splattered .

The rest of the guards were shocked, and they didn't dare to hide, let alone lean towards him. When they were in a dilemma, Qi Jia rushed over, reached out and grabbed Zhao Yuancai's hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, victory or defeat is the key to success." As usual in the military, Luzhou City is still there, as solid as gold, as stable as Mount Tai. We lost this game, and there will be another game. So please calm down."

He calmed down a few words in this way, Zhao Yuancai's anger gradually calmed down, and when he arrived in front of the general's mansion, Qi Jia carefully helped him off his horse and walked in. Several imperial doctors had heard the news and rushed to greet him .Zhao Yuancai walked a few steps, suddenly remembered Xiao Jian, looked back to see him falling far away, and said with a downcast face, "Xiaoxiao, come here! Don't let yourself go!"

Xiao Jian's heart skipped a beat, so he had no choice but to follow him all the way into Zhao Yuancai's bedroom.Seeing Zhao Yuancai's large and small wounds being treated and bandaged, Qi Jia invited him to rest on the couch, but he refused to go, sat in a big soft chair, and drove everyone out, leaving only Qi Jia and Xiao Jian, then stretched out his hand to wave to Xiao Jian, and said, "Come on!"

His face was calm, Xiao Jian couldn't understand what he meant, he stepped forward slowly, and said: "Your Majesty, why are you calling a villain?"

Zhao Yuancai raised his eyes to look at him, the storm in his dark eyes flashed past, but in an instant it turned into a bottomless pool of cold water, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Jian's hand, and said softly: "Xiao Xiao, I I told you that if I make a mistake this time, whether it is because of you or not, I will blame you, do you remember?"

Xiao Jian nodded and said: "I remember. But Your Majesty, I have been sick in bed, and you are fighting outside. I don't know the details of the situation."

The corners of Zhao Yuancai's lips curled up slowly, and he smiled and said, "I don't care about this, I don't care how good your reasons are. I'm a careless person, and I don't bother to catch your unclear evidence. I only know Now that I have said it, I have to honor it. Besides, you are too heartless, really too heartless! How have I treated you in the past six months with me? No! Xiaoxiao, how can you embarrass me?"

Xiao Jian remained silent, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, I'm so passionate, I can't force myself to come. Maybe in the future I will..." He didn't know what would happen to him, so he stopped and didn't know how to continue.

Zhao Yuancai chuckled lightly, but it sounded icy cold, Xiao Jian's hair shuddered, and he heard him slowly say: "I can wait until that day? I hope I can." His right hand grabbed Xiao Jian's left hand and did not let go. , slowly moving upwards little by little, and when it reached the middle part of the forearm, suddenly there was a strong force on the hand, and there was a soft "click", and the bone in Xiao Jian's arm was twisted and broken.

Under the severe pain, Xiao Jian immediately turned pale, and almost groaned, but bit his lower lip desperately.Zhao Yuancai smiled and watched his cold sweat oozing drop by drop, pinched his broken arm a few times with his fingers, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Jian smiled back at him, the smile was barely miserable.Zhao Yuancai said: "I left you a right hand so that you can kill me with a knife at any time in the future. Am I kind enough to you?"

Xiao Jian said: "Yes, Your Majesty has treated me very well, thank you Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuancai pointed to his lips and said, "Your lip is broken again, this time you bit it yourself." He raised his hand, wiped off the blood with his sleeve, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, now I give you two There is a choice. Did you see that over there is Grandpa’s bed, which has already been made up. You can go there and take off your clothes and wait for me. But if you don’t want to, of course I still follow the old rules. If you don’t force you, you can also There is another option. I will ask General Qi to quietly send you to the water prison in Luzhou. That water prison was built by me when I was a prince and stayed in Luzhou for a year. The specifications are naturally inferior. Go to our Tianzi Prison in Taiyuan, but it's not far behind. Which one do you... choose?"
