—— "I'll call you Fei Li from now on, okay? You're not Li Li?"

——"If possible, I really hope that the sun in the woods was not so bright that day, and the 17-year-old girl who led the soldiers was not so bright. She didn't come up to me and knocked on the table three times, ordering me to follow her immediately, as if everything was justified."

——"I, Cen Zhuo, swear to the heavens that unless the muddy river flows back, otherwise, I will only worship this once in this life, and marry this once. If I break my oath, I will be punished by heaven, and it is best to die in the marriage of my wife." ? Hand, even if you die, you will not regret it."

Yun Zhong saw that Li Jing was lying on the man's neck, maintaining a kneeling posture, and had not moved for a long time.He? Startled from the bottom of his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness?" Trying to turn her body away, seeing her eyes closed tightly and her head tilted back feebly, his heart sank, "Your Highness——! !!"

"Come here!! Come here!!!"

In the middle of the night, the forest is deep and the people are quiet.The bonfire outside the ruined temple made people panic.

Yun Zhong sent the military doctor out of the temple gate, and quietly asked at the gate: "Doctor, how is your Highness doing?"

The military doctor said: "Don't worry, General Mu, His Highness is overwhelmed by grief, which caused him to faint. I have already administered acupuncture for His Highness, and he will wake up in a short time."

Just as Yun Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, he said again: "However, the deceased is already dead. General Mu still advises His Highness not to be too sad, and the most important thing is to be sad, otherwise, once you hurt your body, it won't be worth it."

Yun Zhong's mood fell to the bottom, "Then... is that person really hopeless? Doctor, can you think of another way?"

"Hey, I have no pulse. The old man is really powerless. General Mu, please give me your condolences, Your Highness!"

Yun Zhong let out a long sigh towards the silent mountain forest, and suddenly felt an indescribable depression and heartache welling up in his throat.

At noon the next day, the eldest princess led her troops to the scheduled location, ready to join Li Jingchen.But after waiting for a long time, no one came. Seeing that the scheduled time had passed, if we waited any longer, even Gu Rentu's tail might not be able to catch up.Deciding not to wait any longer, she ordered the troops to move on.

This is the total plan they made, she and Li Jingchen will each lead two groups of troops to pursue in the rear, while Wu Tianji and Lou Ren will lead their troops to go around to intercept.Be sure to stop Gu Rentu and his party on the south bank of the Zhuohe River.

Now that Li Jingchen didn't come as promised, she guessed that the other party might have had some accidents, but now she can't control that much, the pursuit of the bandits is the most important thing, and Gu Rentu must not be allowed to cross the river.

As soon as she gave the order to set off, a group of armored soldiers rushed from the valley.The leader, General Yinjia, caught up with him. It was Mu Yunzhong, the chief guard of the Eastern Palace, but Li Jingchen was nowhere to be seen in the team.

"Where's Your Highness?" Li Pingzhu asked with a frown.

Yun Zhong's eye circles were a little red, and Li Pingzhu became nervous for a moment, "What's the matter?" Seeing him, he hesitated to speak, and rolled his eyes, signaling the team to pause, and pulled him into the nearby woods. Ask for details.

At first, Yun Zhong refused to reveal it.But what kind of person is Li Pingzhu? Ever since Cen Zhu was bound up the mountain, she had noticed that something was wrong with Li Jingzhu.Although he still has his own set of "rules" in behavior, his emotions are no longer the same as before. It seems that he cares too much about the safety of "captives".She is a strong-willed person, of course she will not change her original intention for Tu Yunkai, and the only change can only be brought about by Cen Zhu.

"She didn't come, does it have something to do with Cen Zhu?" She said in an affirmative tone.

Knowing that Li Pingzhu has always been close to Li Jingzhu, Yunzhong couldn't help but told her the matter, "Lord Cen has been killed, His Highness is too sad to lead the army forward, I have no choice but to read the promise I made with the Eldest Princess. When the time comes, we will leave 600 people to protect His Highness, and lead others to join the Eldest Princess. These soldiers and horses will be handed over to the Eldest Princess, and I will go back to take care of Your Highness."

Li Pingzhu's scalp became tense, and he pressed on step by step: "Cen Zhu was killed, why is your Highness so heartbroken, what is the relationship between your Highness and Cen Zhu? I want to tell the truth."

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Yun Zhong knelt down and wept: "Princess, don't ask any more questions. Your Highness is heartbroken. I have never seen her like this before. I am worried that this will continue...she..." He? Couldn't bear to go on.

Li Pingzhu understood everything, no wonder, no wonder when she planned to capture Gu Rentu in the farm, she would rather put herself in danger than find someone to replace her.I'm afraid the real reason is not because he is worried about arousing Gu Rentu's suspicion, but because he doesn't want to watch? The person he loves is marrying another person!No wonder Gu Rentu put forward the same condition for the second time, and she would agree without hesitation, saying "this time, that time, according to the circumstances", she would find a high-sounding reason for herself.There is only one reason, that is, there is an extra Cen Zhuo.

She grabbed Mu Yunzhong and said seriously: "I order you to lead all the horses to continue to pursue north according to the predetermined plan, and meet Wu Tianji, the concubine, on the south bank of the Zhuo River. Remember, don't slip through the net."

"This?...What about you, princess?"

"I'll go back and see her! There's a hurdle in her heart, I'm afraid she can't get over it alone."

Li Pingzhu understood Li Jingbai's personality. Although she treated all the children of the emperor's brother equally, she had some preference for Li Jingbai in her heart.Maybe it's because she is the one most like herself among all the juniors.She had always hoped that even without her own help, Li Jingzhu would be able to ascend to that supreme position with her own efforts, but now it seems that she may not be able to do so.

Night once again shrouded the dilapidated temple, making people feel heavy.

Li Pingzhu got off his horse in front of the temple gate, disregarding the shortness of breath caused by galloping and jolting all the way, he asked the guards of the Eastern Palace, "Where is Your Highness?"

"In the temple? Head?"

"Has she ever been out?"

"No."

Li Pingzhu sighed, threw the whip to his subordinates, and walked quickly to the temple.

Before entering the door, she saw the darkness inside the temple, she frowned: "Why don't you light a fire?" The guard whispered: "Your Highness won't let me, saying that the smoke will kill people." Li Pingzhu's heart sank , went in with a torch.

Seeing a vicious mountain god statue head-on, Li Pingzhu's heart tightened, and he didn't bother to explore, so he looked around by the firelight and called several times: "Fei carp?" No one answered.

Suddenly seeing two feet protruding from the southeast corner, Li Pingzhu's eyes lit up, and he approached slowly with a torch.

A man was sitting on the pile of firewood at the base of the wall, with his back leaning against the wall, his head hanging down at ninety degrees.On her lap lay a black head, facing inwards? Nestled against her lower abdomen, motionless, as if in a long sleep.

Li Pingzhu was suffocated, and felt that this picture was even more suffocating than imagined.

"Crimson carp."

She knelt down, touched the man's face, and found that she had fallen asleep.Put the torch in the cracks of the bricks? and order the guards to come in and carry away the person on her body.Unexpectedly, when the guard moved, the man woke up with a start, and subconsciously hugged him in his arms?He pulled her arm up and hung it on his shoulder, but it couldn't hang and fell down again. She had no choice but to hug her arm and shoulder together. With her red eyes open, she watched vigilantly. Whose appearance and expression is more terrifying than the mountain god in the temple?

Li Pingzhu felt a pain in his heart, motioned the guards to go down first, turned around, and persuaded softly: "Fei Li, you can't be resurrected after death. Auntie knows that you are very sad now, but it is not an option for you to hold her like this. Let her Rest in peace, okay?"

She didn't speak, but pulled him into her arms? Then she hugged him tighter, showing her resistance with actions.

Li Pingzhu sighed, came out to explain to everyone, and went to cook a bowl of porridge first.While the doctor was cooking the porridge, she sprinkled a pack of Mongolian perspiration medicine into the bowl and brought it in with her own hands.Seeing that the torch that was originally stuck in the southeast corner was thrown under the throne, she frowned and had no choice but to walk over in the dark.

After her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the temple, she saw that Li Jingyi had returned to the original posture, with one hand protecting the man's head, and the other sticking to her back, letting her rest on her leg Go to "Sleep".

"Fei Li, eat something, you haven't eaten for several days, what's going on like this?"

no respond.

"If you don't eat, if she wakes up and sees you collapsed, won't she be sad?"

She remained motionless, turning a deaf ear to any sound from the outside world, as if her soul had drifted away, and what was sitting against the wall was just an empty shell.

The eldest princess put the bowl on the ground, sat beside her, and began to tell her about her childhood, trying to bring her back to her senses, but her throat was almost dry, and she still showed no signs of regaining her senses.

In the middle of the night, Li Jingzhu couldn't hold on himself and passed out.The eldest princess asked her to open her mouth, forcefully poured some porridge into it, until she instinctively began to swallow, and helped her to lie down gently.Looking back at Cen Zhu, she was still lying on her side, sleeping peacefully on the firewood, as if she had really fallen asleep.

Feeling a pity for no reason, even though we only met each other a few times, in my heart? I am deeply impressed by such a young man with a bright future and a bright smile.

She could have become a pillar of the imperial court, and she could have had an enviable life. How could anyone let go of her death in such a way?

Li Pingzhu sighed, took off the coat on his upper body, wrapped it around Cen Zhu's head, so that people could not see her true face, and ordered the guards: "Buy Tu Consort nearby!"

She knew that Li Jingbai's abnormal behavior had caused many gossips in the army, and now that the dead cannot be brought back to life, she could only reluctantly "sacrifice" Cen Zhuang for the sake of Li Jingbai's future.Letting her be buried as Tu Yunkai will make more sense for Li Jingzhu's behavior in the future.I believe that she has knowledge and will agree with me to do this.

A group of Wu Jingchai and Li Jingxi came up the mountain excitedly, "I said that we are soldiers descended from heaven, and we are sure to succeed once we get out. No, not only did we win a complete victory, but we also captured so many prisoners! "

Li Jingxi was also a little complacent, "That's right, my former aunt and sister looked down on us and didn't tell us to chase the enemy. Who would have thought that we could do such a big thing. My sister will be proud of me." .”

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't catch up with Gu Rentu." Annoyed, Wu Jingchai looked back at the dozen or so captives he had captured, and greeted his subordinates: "Quicken your pace, there is a ruined temple on the mountain, we will be there tonight." Set up camp there, and continue on our way at dawn tomorrow.”

As he was walking, a fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of him, zigzagging through the mountains and forests, like a will-o’-the-wisp. Li Jingxi was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Wu Jingchai’s arm, "What is that?"

Master Wu Xiaohou was in pain from being caught, and he bared his teeth and said, "Damn, take it easy."

The "ghost fire" circled and bullied them. When they got close, they realized that it was a patrol team. The two sides met each other and each showed their identities. When Li Jingxi heard that the other party was the guard of the Eastern Palace, he jumped up happily, " Elder sister must be here? Take me to find elder sister immediately."

"Yes, second princess."

At this moment, a shirtless man with a face swollen like a pig's head popped out of the captive team, twisting the rope on his body, whining, "Woo... woo woo, woo yes, woo is a Buddha!" I want to see, I want to see...Your Highness..."

"It's you again, be more honest! If you are not honest, I will kill you!" Young Master Wu kicked him on the buttocks, kicking him down.The rest of the prisoners looked at him? Rolling down the slope, they all fell silent in fright.He got up trembling again, and wanted to move forward, but was restrained by the guard twisting his arms.

Li Jingxi was walking ahead excitedly. Wu Jingchai turned his head and saw a bonfire in the distance, as if someone was burning paper money there, "What are you doing?"

"Tu Consort was killed, and the princess ordered someone to bury him nearby."

"Really?" Wu Jingchai was surprised that Tu Yunkai died, and wondered in his heart, hadn't Tu Yunkai been escorted back to Beijing long ago?How can I die here??I wanted to go over to have a look, but suddenly it was the prisoner again, who broke free from the restraints of the guards, squatted and jumped up and yelled at the crowd, "Oh, it's a Buddha!"

"This? I'm afraid he's not a lunatic!"

This person is Tu Yunkai, who was taken away by Wang Shiba when the bandits were killing each other.The group wanted to go back to Langtou Peak to move money, but they were ambushed by Wu Jingchai and Li Jingxi on the way, and Wang Shiba led his men to escape in embarrassment.Tu Yunkai took the opportunity to hide in the woods? and escaped unharmed.After recognizing that the leader of the other party was Wu Jingchai, they jumped out from the woods to ask him for help, but their faces had been beaten beyond recognition, and their teeth were knocked out, so they couldn't speak clearly, Wu Jing Chai stared at him with his chin in his hand for a long time, but he didn't recognize him.He turned to Li Jingxi for help, but Wu Jingchai mistakenly thought that he was going to attack Li Jingxi, so he beat him up with his fist, threw him with other prisoners, and took him to the mountain.When I first heard that Li Jinghe was here?, Tu Yunkai had hope again, and wanted to ask her for help, but now he was crying and snot, but unfortunately, no one understood him.

Wu Jingchai got a little impatient, and asked someone to hold him down again, and dragged him to the mountain to guard him. He went to the grave by himself, and saw that the guards had already started to bury the person, and the soil did not reach the person's chest. "Huh? This? People...why are you covering your face?"

"The eldest princess said that Concubine Tu has been beaten beyond recognition. In order to preserve some dignity after death, she buried her face with her face covered."

Wu Jingchai nodded, suddenly felt that something was weird, and couldn't figure out where the weirdness was. Looking at the person in the pit again, he found that her figure was thin and thin, which was quite different from the Tu Yunkai in his impression.I wondered, could it be that Tu Yunkai was starved to the point of skin and bones after being captured for a few days?
