Rebirth of Tao Yao

Just when Roujia suspected the real reason for the Hu people to invade the border, Yan Qing and King Yan in the border city also had the same suspicion.

King Yan, who came late, appeared on the tower, looked at the Hu people who were retreating neatly from the lookout, raised his eyebrows full of surprise: "What's the matter, it's so loud, these Hu people just left? !"

Not only King Yan, but everyone on the tower was equally unbelievable—these barbarians rushed for thousands of miles, even concealed their whereabouts and came outside the border city, but ended up yelling a few words, and then retreated?What's even more inconceivable than this is the content of their shouting. They came with such a great fanfare, but they were just to get a horse? !

Everyone on the tower looked at each other in blank dismay, but it was no use for ordinary sergeants to think more.They just looked at Yan Qing secretly, thinking about the rumors in the city a few days ago that the golden horse from the prairie was in the hands of Little General Yan.

Yan Qing was naturally aware of these probing gazes, and he glanced coldly over them, his majesty all over his body immediately scaring everyone away from looking at them.Finally, he took another look at the retreating barbarians outside the city, and said: "Be careful and guard, don't let anyone take advantage of you."

The sergeants in the city responded in unison, but Yan Qing didn't have time to arrange everything in detail. He turned his head and gave instructions to the lieutenant beside him, and hurried to King Yan.The latter probably guessed what he wanted to say, turned around quickly and found a secluded place, and said before General Yan could speak: "General Yan, the golden horse is not in the city. Today, my daughter took the horse away when she left the city."

King Yan loved Roujia very much. Roujia was not only his eldest daughter, but also his first child. Such expectations were never had for other children.Therefore, Roujia wanted to come along to patrol the border, and he agreed. Roujia asked him for a beautiful horse, and he naturally would not refuse.

However, when Yan Qing heard this, his heart sank, he really didn't know what kind of luck it was, it was such a coincidence.If the horse was in the city, no matter what the barbarian said was true or not, he could take it out for a test. Presumably His Royal Highness King Yan would not be stingy with a horse at this time.But now that the horse is not here, his family Ali and the princess are not here, thinking about it can't be worse.

After only a moment of silence, Yan Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the general will send someone out of the city to find the princess."

King Yan still just nodded his head, but looked outside the city, and then said: "General Yan, do you believe that these barbarians are all here for a horse?" Yan Qing, King Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Or, this king should ask General Yan, what is so special about that so-called heavenly horse?"

Yan Qing felt that King Yan's eyes were stinging, but he really didn't know much about the Golden Horse.

The two looked at each other for a while, King Yan suddenly looked back, turned and walked down the tower: "Forget it, General Yan should go to set up the city defense first, as for the matter of the horse, let's talk about it after we find it."

King Yan left, but Vice General Gao and several partial generals greeted him.Everyone was worried, and Yan Qing came to his senses and asked to find out, it turned out that not only Yan Li and the little princess were out of the city today, but all the boys from these families went out of the city by such a coincidence, and they haven't come back yet!

The fathers looked at each other for a while, and then they all let out a long sigh—what could they say?I wonder if it rained last night, and the weather was so cool this morning that you hooked all the boys out?God won't take the blame!

****************************************************************************

Yan Li and the others didn't have a long rest, after all, the situation in the border town was affecting everyone's heart.Gao Dashan and the others just picked some wild fruits, took a few more pots of water and came back. After they barely had enough to eat, they set off again.

The day started with playing, with the attack as the turning point, the escape as the process, and the beacon smoke as the climax... At this moment, almost everyone believed that something happened in the border town.However, when they worked so hard to climb the cliff and looked around, they found that the wind and waves outside the border city were calm, and even the beacon smoke they had seen before had been extinguished at some point, without leaving any traces.

Roujia has never experienced war again, and seeing the cleanliness of the city wall, she knows that there has never been a war.She couldn't help being dumbfounded, and subconsciously turned her head to explain to everyone: "I, I really saw Fengyan before!"

No one doubted her, because except for Wen Ziran, everyone else saw the beacon smoke rising from the city.

Everyone was chattering for a while, and it took a long time for someone to say: "There is no fight, and there is no trace of the barbarians. Where did the beacon come from?" Missed beacon smoke?!"

There is almost no such possibility, because lying about military information is a capital offense, and recruits dare not make such a mistake.What's more, the twenty or so barbarians they killed before were not fake. If it weren't for the backing of a large army, there would be only a few dozen barbarians in the district, where would they have the confidence to chase them down?This place is so close to the border town, even if there is a Tianma as a temptation, it is impossible!

Everyone was puzzled, but Yan Li was the first to sweep his eyes across the city, and then said: "The gates of the city are closed, and the city is under martial law."

After all, this place is far away from the border town. Although you can get a glimpse of the whole border town, it is generally okay, and the details are invisible to ordinary people.There were only two or three people, and after hearing Yan Li's words, they looked carefully, and sure enough, there was no one on the streets of the border town, but there were many soldiers on the tower, and it seemed that there were many more people on duty than usual.

Yan Li's words were affirmed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief—although the attack on the border town is not a good thing, it is more worrying when things go wrong. It really is.” A sense of steadfastness.

This is really a strange mood, at least Yan Li can't understand their reaction.The little general glanced at everyone, and said coolly: "The border town is different, but it is obviously more dangerous outside the city. We should think about how to go back to the city."

As soon as these words were said, the relief that everyone had just raised suddenly stagnated.

Roujia's guard regretted it the most. If he had known that there was no fight outside the city, he should have brought the princess back to the city.Even if the city gate is closed, so what, as the princess cannot knock on the city gate, can't the city put a rope down to pull people down?Moreover, when we reached the gate of the border city, and there were soldiers guarding the city, what were the twenty or so barbarians who were chasing after us?

But it was too late to regret it now, and the oldest guard at the scene was the first to suggest: "There is no one outside the city gate, let's go back the same way. If we go faster, we can still make it before dark." Go down the mountain before."

However, when he finished speaking, he didn't get anyone's approval. The teenagers in the border town all looked at him like a fool.In the end, Gao Dashan took a sneak look at Roujia and explained: "When the war begins, the gates of the city will not be opened unless there is a fight. What's more, since the barbarians are attacking, there must be spies outside the city. We used to send sheep to the tiger's mouth." .”

Rou Jia was inexplicably stared at by Gao Dashan, but the other party looked at her, so she took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Gao Dashan looked back at the city, and then turned his head to look at Yan Li, obviously he was used to the latter following his lead.Yan Li seemed to be no stranger to directing people, he raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Let's go over the west mountain to the south gate, it should be easier to enter the city over there."

In order to defend the border town, only one gate was opened on the north and south sides.The Hu people came from the north, and they rarely went to the south gate, because it was time-consuming and laborious to go around, and they were easily intercepted by the defenders in the city.Unless the detoured barbarians wanted to be alone, or were sure that the defenders in the city would be invincible, they would not rush in easily.The south gate has always been safe since then, and it only takes a day to take a detour around it.

Everyone had no objection, the people in the Yan Palace were not familiar with the border town, and the guard had made a joke before, so naturally they all listened to them at this time.Yan Li took one last look at the city under martial law, and waved to everyone, "Let's go."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, it is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.

When coming down from the cliff, everyone walked very carefully, everyone else was like this, let alone Wen Ziran.In fact, she was able to keep up with the footsteps of the crowd relying on Yan Li's support before, which was unexpected. Now she needs to be more careful when going down the mountain, but she can no longer be brave.

Wen Ziran also had self-knowledge, and when he came down the mountain, he said to Yan Li: "Brother, let me ride down."

When everyone went up the mountain, the horses were always led. Firstly, the steep mountain made it difficult to ride horses. Second, everyone also consciously conserved horsepower, fearing that the horses would be too tired from running and would be unable to ride when they encountered danger.But going down the mountain is different, the bumps when going down the mountain are better than when going up the mountain, maybe the horse's foot slipped, let alone Wen Ziran who can't see it, even a person with good riding skills would be terrified to deal with it.

Yan Li refused without thinking, because even if he was asked to close his eyes and ride down the mountain on horseback, he would not dare.The little general pursed his lips, grabbed the man on his back resolutely, and said, "I'll carry you."

Except for Gao Dashan, the eyes of the few teenagers widened when they saw this, and they could hardly believe their eyes and ears—even if they saw the two riding together before, Yan Li and Wen Ziran would never leave, but Yan Li was cold-hearted. The image of indifference is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and my friends can't believe that this cold-faced evil star still has such a time of "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade"!

Yan Li didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, and only threw the reins of the bay red horse to Gao Dashan to help lead him, then strode south with Wen Ziran on his back, without any room for rejection.

Wen Ziran didn't say anything, she obediently lay on Yan Li's back, and never refused the other party's kindness.But after walking for a while, he suddenly raised his hand to help Yan Li wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and then put his face on Yan Li's shoulder...

The little princess had never walked so many roads before, and her feet were already weak. Looking at Wen Ziran's back being carried by Yan Li, she couldn't help feeling a little envious.Then the next moment, she saw her maid took a step in front of her and bent down with her back to her. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning was already obvious.
