The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Gao Yi immediately smelled the danger, he quickly clenched his weapon, and put on a posture to meet the enemy.

Suddenly a gust of wind whirled over the mountains and flew past them, bringing up many fallen leaves.

With a flash of cold light, the five masked men in black hiding in the bushes came straight towards the two of them with weapons in their hands.

Gao Yi stretched his bow like a full moon, and his arrow shot like a shooting star, and it hit one of them in the throat.

"Get on the horse!" Gao Yi said shortly, pulled Bai Yu and ran away.

When they ran out of the yard, they found that the two horses at the door were gone.Gao Yi clearly remembered that he tied the horse well, and it seemed that he was probably taken away by the man in black ahead of time.

The men in black followed closely behind. They could only run with all their might, without looking back.When Gao Yi ran to a suitable position, he stopped and shot an arrow, a total of seven arrows, six of which were hit.

If it was only Gao Yi himself, he might be able to stop and compete with the men in black, but now there is still an oil bottle, he can't protect Bai Yu while fighting.

Originally there were only five men in black, and they were shot to death one after another, but to Gao Yi's surprise, more men in black came out from nowhere, and his feather arrows were quickly exhausted.

Bai Yu gradually lost his breath, "I can't run anymore..."

Gao Yi looked back, panting and said: "Persist for a while, it will be fine when you meet someone!"

Bai Yu couldn't even speak, but felt that her chest and abdomen had expanded to the limit, as if they were about to explode.

Staggering under his feet, Bai Yu fell to the ground, knocking on the stone, and his knee hurt.

"Get up!" Gao Yi pulled him hard, trying to carry him on his back.

Bai Yu shook her head and said, "I can't run away, and you can't escape if you carry me on your back. You can go quickly and find someone to save me."

Gao Yi looked at him, and then at the pursuers behind him, all overwhelmed.After weighing it, he could only say: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring someone back!"

Bai Yu sat on the ground, surrounded by people in black, and the surrounding was deathly gloomy and silent.I don't know if he was exhausted from running, and he felt dizzy for a while, and felt that the sounds around him were very far away, almost not like real sounds, but like ghosts and gods crying and wailing.

The moment before he lost consciousness, Bai Yu saw a girl in neat black clothes, with long hair tied up on top of her head, and a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows walking in front of him.

The cinnabar mole between her eyebrows was bright red, very conspicuous.

"Sister, what should I do?" A man in black asked.

The girl knelt down, looked at Bai Yu who passed out, her brows gradually frowned.

"Take him back." She got up and said.

"What if the one who ran away brings someone back?" the subordinate asked.

The girl smiled, "He doesn't have a horse, so when he reports and brings someone here, can he catch up with our shadow?"

Bai Yu was stripped of his coat, and put into an iron cage that was closed on all sides, with only a fist-sized air outlet on the top.

The cage was very small, and Bai Yu was curled up when he was stuffed in it, and when he woke up wobbly, after a moment of confusion, a huge fear hit his heart, and the pitch-black and bumpy frame made him feel sick for a while.

He beat the cage wall in pain, "Let me out! Who are you?!"

No one answered, except for the squeaking of wheels and the clatter of horseshoes.

Bai Yu was gradually numb from the cold, and he found that the cage was as cold as the frozen lake in the cold winter months.He was stripped of his coat again, and curled up in the cage. Almost every inch of his skin was separated by a thin layer of undershirt, and he was forced to cling to the bone-piercing iron cage wall.

This iron cage is actually a torture tool, and the cage has interlayers.In summer, pour boiling water into it under the scorching sun.In winter, people's coats are taken off, and the interlayer is filled with cold snow water.

It also has a nice name called "Red Amber Ice Ring".

"Help, help..." Bai Yu was so weak from the cold that he couldn't make much noise, he murmured tremblingly, "Yan Xun, help me..."

Yan Xun led hundreds of cavalry and Yan Zun to Tianchuan Mountain, and met Gao Yi who was going down the mountain in a panic on the way.

"Gao Yi? Why are you here?" Yan Zun asked.

Gao Yi was panting heavily, and he didn't bother to ask Yan Xun why he didn't know the foretelling.He hurriedly pointed his finger back at the mountain, "General, men in black attacked us, and Bai Yu was captured by them!"

Hundreds of cavalry marched non-stop along the mountain road, and the earth hummed dully under the trampling of many horseshoes.

Bai Yu's distant thoughts were forcibly pulled back by the sound of killing, weapons clashing, and screams.He almost thought that he was going to die, he couldn't feel the existence of his body, only his eyes seemed to be able to move, and they blinked lightly in response to the slow heartbeat.

The cage door was opened, and a gust of cold but fresh air rushed in. The man stretched out his hand to him, the palm was warm and powerful, grabbed his arm and pulled him out.Immediately, something wrapped his body, and he fell into a warm and soft embrace.

Instead of going to the battlefield, Yan Xun had already removed his heavy armor in order to hurry.He took off his cloak, wrapped his head and brain around the white jade, even his bare feet did not fall, and the whole thing was wrapped into a tight rice dumpling.

Bai Yu fell into a coma, her lips were blue and purple, and she was as cold as ice.

Yan Zun came over and took off his cloak and covered it with Bai Yu.

Yan Xun didn't say a word, and carried Bai Yu onto the horse.He controlled the reins with his right hand, and embraced Bai Yu's body with his left hand, letting him nestle in his arms to keep warm.

Along the way, Yan Xun didn't say a word.He didn't take the initiative to speak, neither Yan Zun nor Gao Yi dared to make noise.In fact, Yan Xun is usually silent, and his expression is neither happy nor angry, making it impossible to guess whether he is thinking about dinner or whose head to take.

But at this moment, Yan Zun clearly sensed a trace of murderous intent from Yan Xun's silence, and beneath that murderous intent was hidden a monstrous anger.

The atmosphere is like a taut arrow string, no one dares to touch it.

Bai Yu moved and gently rubbed against Yan Xun's chest.

Yan Xun suddenly remembered the day when they first met, Bai Yu asked him to hug him, and he hugged him, Bai Yu poked the hard armor on his chest, muttering: "It's cold, it's still painful."

Now that Bai Yu's chest was warm and soft, he was obviously more at ease, and one hand unconsciously grabbed the clothes on Yan Xun's chest.

At that moment, the tight arrow string seemed to suddenly relax, the alarm was lifted, and the air pressure gradually rose.Maybe Yan Xun himself didn't realize that his stiff expression eased slightly.

"Gao Yi." Yan Xun finally spoke.

Gao Yi's mind was buzzing all the way, afraid that Yan Xun would be punished because of his dereliction of duty.Hearing Yan Xun calling him, he hastily rode his horse to Yan Xun's side.

"General."

Yan Xun only said: "Ride faster, go back to the camp and ask Doctor Feng to prepare ginger soup and hot water."

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly took his orders.

After listening to Gao Yi's account of what happened, Doctor Feng immediately prepared things according to Yan Xun's instructions.After a while, Yan Xun came in with a lump of white jade.

Although Yan Xun didn't say it clearly, Feng Junyi still put the things in Yan Xun's Chinese army tent with a clear mind.Sure enough, Yan Xun had no objection, placed Bai Yu on his bed and wrapped it up with a quilt.

"General, the young master is freezing, so he can't warm up the soup right away, we have to wait for his body temperature to recover a little bit." Doctor Feng Jun said.

Yan Xun took Bai Yu's hand to test the temperature, and said, "It's almost there, I wrapped him up all the way."

After speaking, he put down Bai Yu's hand, stood up and said, "You can take care of me as you like, I still have a lot of things to do."

"Yes, I must take good care of the young master." Doctor Feng said hurriedly.

Walking to the door, Yan Xun thought of something again, and asked Chunyu Jing, "What's in the military rations sent by the emperor today?"

Chunyujing thought about it and said: "There are rice, noodles, pork, cabbage, oh, and cattle and sheep, but there are relatively few of them, only a dozen or so."

"Keep some cattle and sheep." Yan Xun said briefly.

He left after speaking, but Chunyu Jing hadn't reacted yet, "Stay here? Why are you staying?"

Yan Zun smiled and said: "If you are told to stay, you will stay. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Chunyujing scratched her head, thinking that Xu Shiyan was thinking about the toothbrush ceremony, so she stopped asking and went to the cook.

Baiyu had a dream in the drowsiness of a high fever. He dreamed of a young man with starry eyes, who looked like a handsome and handsome figure like Water Moon Guanyin to anyone.The man undid the shackles on Bai Yu's body, and gently carried him off the execution platform.

He didn't know the name of that person, but in the dream, his appearance gradually overlapped with Yan Xun's.

Bai Yu suddenly discovered that the two faces seemed to be exactly the same.

·

The captured men in black were tortured, but no one spit out, so Yan Xun built them into snowmen and lined them up.

Gao Yi came over while he was admiring the snowman, and whispered in his ear: "General, there is a result."

Yan Xun nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Gao Yi said: "After the two craftsmen who changed the horseshoes were secretly imprisoned according to the order of the general, we have been closely monitoring the changes in the barracks. Now we have captured eight people and confessed to them. The other one has nothing. Say, bite your tongue and kill yourself."

"What did you explain?" Yan Xun asked.

"They said that they joined a secret organization called 'Stone Scorpion' in the early years. But who is the leader of this organization and what is the purpose of the organization's existence, they don't know. Zhong'an inserted their blacksmith to make a fuss on the horseshoes, putting the general and the cavalry in danger. According to their account, their Shangfeng once said that if the general could be eliminated with a shoe, they would You will get wealth that will be inexhaustible for your children and grandchildren."

Yan Xun's eyes darkened, and he asked, "Those two blacksmiths belong to them?"

"Yes." Gao Yi paused, and added, "The subordinates also asked them about Baiyu, and they all said that Baiyu was not theirs, at least they didn't know about it. As for whether it might be Shangfeng's secret arrangement , they, the underlings, don’t know about it.”

A round of fiery red sunset sank into the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed a small corner of the sky red.

Yan Xun quietly looked at the row of snowmen in front of him until the sun set completely, and the moonlight coated the snow with a thin layer of powder.Yan Xun finally said: "Let Yan Zun wait for me in his tent, I have something to ask him."

In the evening, Yan Xun leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest, with Yan Zun sitting beside him, who was eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Yan Zun pulled the other one out of the charcoal stove and handed it to Yan Xun, "Brother, do you want to eat?"

Yan Xun shook his head, "Stop talking nonsense."

Yan Zun let out an "oh", and told him what happened before he came here.
