Dianxia Qingcheng

In the next few days, because of the embarrassing scene of being bumped into by Liu Zhiyuan, it was clear that the two of them were nothing but simply taking medicine, but A Lanyue was thin-skinned, and every time she noticed the look in Liu Zhiyuan's eyes, It will darken the earlobe.

Following the caravan for the past few days, Zhao Litang had the opportunity to recuperate and rest, and with A Lanyue's careful care, most of his injuries have recovered.

After arriving at the barbarian capital, the two wanted to leave quietly, but Liu Zhiyuan stopped them in advance.

"You are not barbarians."

Liu Zhiyuan leaned in front of the two and whispered, he looked at Zhao Litang, "You are from the Celestial Dynasty."

A Lanyue's whole body tensed up suddenly, her eyes widened slightly and she looked at Liu Zhiyuan.

Oops, have their identities been exposed!

Liu Zhiyuan smiled, "Don't be nervous, I haven't told anyone."

Zhao Litang pursed his lips and stared at Liu Zhiyuan with a bit of cold eyes until he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Liu Zhiyuan had previously studied in the Celestial Dynasty, and because of the outbreak of war between the two countries, he was arrested by his father. During the Celestial Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan had the opportunity to go to the frontier military camp, so he met Zhao Li from afar. Tang side.

That's why he kept staring at Zhao Litang all the way, always feeling that this person looked familiar.

"A military camp is an important military site, how can you get in?"

Liu Zhiyuan stammered a little, "Well... yes, it's for the convenience of a friend of mine."

"The name tells me that I will punish you severely when I go back."

Liu Zhiyuan laughed again, "You must know him, his name is Wu Quan."

A Lanyue raised her head and glanced at Zhao Litang, she didn't expect to be Vice General Wu.

Zhao Litang's expression softened obviously.

Afterwards, Liu Zhiyuan didn't ask what happened to the two of them, nor did he ask why they came to the capital of the barbarians, he found a hidden place for them in the capital, and said that if there was any trouble, he could ask him for help .

At the beginning, Zhao Litang was very suspicious of Liu Zhiyuan, but after several contacts, he found that he was helping them sincerely, and asked him some things about Wuquan, and Liu Zhiyuan was able to answer all of them fluently. It can be seen that the two are really familiar with each other.

"But why did Mr. Liu take the risk to help us? Now that the two countries are at war, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" Zhao Litang asked.

Liu Zhiyuan stood up and took a deep look at the two people in front of him.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you two."

Zhao Litang said, "But it's okay to say."

"I have also tried to send a message to the Celestial Dynasty, but it has never been successful. You are right, the two countries are at war, and all communications have been cut off. Therefore, if you can really go back smoothly, I would like to ask the two of you to help me send a message to the Celestial Dynasty. "

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes turned red, "Just ask him, if there is no Zhan Luan, would he be willing to go home with me, no matter what his answer is, tell him, I will always be here waiting for him."

"Who is that person?"

When Liu Zhiyuan said the name, Zhao Litang didn't show any surprise, but A Lanyue was surprised.

Afterwards, Zhao Litang's injury had fully healed, and the two were ready to set off to return to the Celestial Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan told them about a small road, which was used by his father to conduct secret business with foreigners, and generally there were no officers and soldiers to check it.

Zhao Litang and A Lanyue rode two horses and drove along the path, and soon arrived at the area near the desert.

Originally, the trip was smooth and smooth, but when the two were shopping, they suddenly ran into a small barbarian army.

More than half of the soldiers in this army are wounded soldiers. It can be seen that they should have just retreated from the battlefield, and they may have fled after being defeated.

Seeing these officers and soldiers, A Lanyue couldn't help becoming nervous, her clenched hands were covered with sweat.

Zhao Litang patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, then rode past the army with his usual expression.

"stop!"

A soldier shouted after the two men, "Leave your horses!"

There are wounded soldiers in the army who have difficulty traveling, and it seems that they want to requisition their horses to carry the wounded soldiers.

Zhao Litang reined in his horse and stopped, but did not move again.

Unexpectedly, two more soldiers came over, looked at them and said, "The front is approaching the battlefield, you two are not allowed to advance any further, leave your horses and go home as soon as possible!"

Said that several soldiers around were about to come forward to snatch the horse. A Lanyue was pulled off the horse by a soldier, and she was about to fall off the horse when she tilted her body. Zhao Litang directly reached out and picked him up on the back of her horse Sitting, and then waving his whip, the horse neighed and rushed out, heading directly into the desert.

Those soldiers wanted to catch up again, but after seeing the direction the two were heading, they took a few steps back.

"Break into the death zone, you are looking for your own death!"

Then those soldiers led a horse and walked away cursing.

A Lanyue was held in Zhao Litang's arms again, and this time the two of them had their chests against their backs, so there was no need to create a gap.

Zhao Litang didn't notice anything wrong, so he just concentrated on driving the horse, but A Lanyue cautiously moved forward and then avoided it.

Zhao Litang suddenly stretched out his hand to press his body back, and said in a cold voice, "Move any further and you will fall."

Only then did A Lanyue obediently stop moving.

After riding for a long time, the endless sand dunes in front of me seemed to have all grown into one shape, making people confused, and the same sand dunes behind them.

Standing on a high place and looking at it, you can see deserts as far as you can see, and the scorching sun is baking above your head, making people dizzy, dizzy, and throat dry.

"General..." A Lanyue licked her dry lips. Half of their water was on the other horse, which was snatched away by the soldiers. The desert will take three or four days at the fastest, so we must drink sparingly.

"We seem to have been here before..."

Zhao Litang got off his horse, "I know."

They have indeed been here, more than once, in fact, they seem to have been circling these sand dunes for most of the day.

The more you turn, the closer you get to the depths of the desert, as if you are trapped in a whirlpool, and you can't get out no matter what.

Zhao Litang pondered for a moment, it would not work if this continued, they could not passively accept this dead situation, they had to take the initiative to break it.

"Wait here for me. I'll walk along these sand dunes. If it's getting dark and I haven't come back, you can follow my footprints. If the footprints are interrupted or something is wrong, you can Ride back."

Zhao Litang's expression was very serious, "Do you understand?"

A Lanyue grabbed the rein tightly and nodded.

Zhao Litang turned and left, and when his figure was about to disappear from sight, he heard a call from the person behind him.

"General! Be careful! I'll wait for you here!"

Zhao Litang's figure was covered by the yellow sand all over the sky.

The wind suddenly started to blow all around, and A Lanyue was so dazed that she couldn't open her eyes.

The world was barren, without any vegetation or life, as if in this wind and sand, he was the only one left.

The general will be back, will be back...

A Lanyue meditated in her heart, closing her eyes to resist the evil wind and sand.

The wind and sand started blowing harder and harder, and A Lanyue was overturned from the horse. He grabbed the rein forcefully and lay down beside the horse.

Only the whirring wind and the nervous beating heartbeat remained in my ears.

I don't know how long it took, and the surroundings finally returned to silence.

A Lanyue shook off the sand from her body and stood up, but she was dumbfounded.

The scenery of the surrounding sand dunes has changed again, and the footprints that Zhao Litang stepped on the sand just now have all been wiped clean.

He became flustered for a moment, not knowing what to do, so he got on his horse again, and then shouted to the deserted desert, "General one by one!"

No one answered, the shout seemed to be thrown into a pool of stagnant water, without causing any ripples.

An unstoppable sense of desolation and despair welled up in my heart, being alone in this desert was like the experience of being constantly abandoned in the past ten years.

A Lanyue looked at the sand dunes ahead, gritted his teeth and waited persistently, but until it was dark, he didn't wait for anyone to come back, so he was worried, so he rushed out on horseback.

The horse kept running on the sandy ground, the night was getting darker, and the surrounding scenery could not be seen clearly, but A Lanyue was unwilling to stop, let alone listen to Zhao Litang's request to go back.

He secretly had some omens in his heart that the general might have encountered some danger.

Running, the horse suddenly stopped abruptly, and A Lanyue couldn't react in time and was thrown off the horse. Fortunately, she fell on the sand and was not injured.

The horse didn't know what frightened it was, neighed at the night sky, and then turned around and ran back.

A Lanyue wanted to pull the rein but she didn't. She watched the horse run like crazy, and then was suddenly knocked down by a black shadow leaping up in the air, and screamed a few times in pain. , there was no movement.

A Lanyue was frightened, and froze on the spot for a while, not daring to move. He stared closely at the darkness where the horse fell. There seemed to be some giant snake hidden there, and it would rush out at any moment and tear him to pieces. .

A few pairs of green eyes indeed lit up in the darkness, and after circling around the dead horse a few times to share a few bites, they looked in the direction of A Lanyue.

It's a desert wolf, and it's a pack of wolves!

A Lanyue raised his throat in one breath, and a layer of cold sweat broke out from his back, soaking his already thin clothes. He stared wide-eyed and confronted the ferocious beasts on the opposite side, and then slowly Take two steps back.

As a result, he turned his head and saw that there was a wolf with green eyes not far behind him, which was a circle larger than the ones on the opposite side. No wonder the horse ran back in a panic just now.

Now he was basically surrounded by wolves, A Lanyue was trying to support himself to stand still, but he was so scared that he was about to bite his lower lip to bleed.

If it doesn't work, I can only try my best and run in both directions. Maybe I can still rush out of the wolves, but the greater probability is that I will be thrown down by the wolves, and then I will watch helplessly before I die. Watching his own limbs being torn apart and eaten.

No, he hasn't found the general yet, so he must not be eaten!

The palms of A Lanyue's palms were covered with blood marks from his nails, he secretly counted to himself in his heart, counting down to three times, and ran to the side desperately.

"call--"

Well
