Rebirth of Tao Yao

Is Yan Li guilty?He couldn't say it, but he just didn't want Roujia to talk any more.

Yan Li didn't look at the friends who were muttering together, but just glanced at Wen Ziran who was next to him without any trace, and then said impatiently: "Since you don't want it, then forget it." He said, She actually reached out to grab the bird egg in Roujia's hand.

Seeing this, Roujia's eyes stared straight, she quickly held the bird's egg and withdrew her hand, and said angrily: "I still want to return what I gave away, and it's only two bird's eggs, how narrow-minded are you, Yan Li?" , I have never seen such a man!"

Hearing this, Yan Li immediately gave her an angry look. After all, he didn't insist on returning the two eggs, but he muttered something in a low voice when he turned to leave.It's a pity that the voice was too low, even Wen Ziran who was standing beside him couldn't hear clearly.

There was nothing to argue about a few birds' eggs, and everyone rinsed their mouths with the water that Yan Li had brought back, then gnawed wild fruits and set off on the road.

Xishan said it was not big, but it was not small. It took them more than half a day to turn from the north to the south of the city, and it was almost the same when they returned.This walk, from early morning to afternoon, everyone climbed up the cliff on the west mountain again - no matter how good Yan Li said, they still couldn't let go of the city without seeing the city with their own eyes.

The view above the cliff is excellent, except for the shelter of the houses in the city, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire border town.

As soon as Gao Dashan and the others climbed the cliff, their complexions were not very good, because even before looking into the city, they could see black smoke swirling in the sky.That's not the beacon smoke on the tower, it's the smoke from all over the city, no need to think about it, it must be the barbarian who set fire in the city!

Most of the ten people on the cliff grew up in the border towns, seeing this situation, they were filled with resentment.The teenagers gritted their teeth and cursed, wishing they could gather up the remnants of the army and lead people to fight back, killing those damn barbarians without leaving any behind.

Wen Ziran listened quietly for a while, bit his lips and remained silent for a while, finally tugged at Yan Li's sleeve and asked, "Brother, how is the west of the city? Is there any place burned?"

Yan Li naturally knew what Wen Ziran wanted to ask, he looked around, but saw fireworks everywhere in the city.In some places, the fire was raging, and some places had already been burned to ruins, and the places where shops and other shops gathered in the west of the city were naturally not less looted by barbarians.After the looting is over, or if there are leftovers that cannot be moved away, the barbarians are naturally willing to throw two torches before leaving...

Staring at the flames in the west of the city, Yan Li said calmly, "Zi Ran, don't worry, the west of the city is fine."

Wen Ziran naturally knew that when the entire border town was in distress, it was impossible for the west of the city to be spared.But she understood better that Yi Yanli's character was not one to lie, and since he said this at the moment, it was probably to appease herself.So even though he was still anxious in his heart, Wen Ziran obviously relaxed, as if he had completely believed Yan Li's words.

Seeing this, Yan Li felt slightly relieved, and looked back towards the city.This time, his sight was no longer limited to the west of the city, but looked for the traces of the barbarians throughout the city—I don’t know if those barbarians happened to be blocked by houses or what, but Yan Li only saw a few small teams after watching for a long time. Wandering in the city, the number of people attacking the city was more than half less than what Yan Qing told him!

Just as Yan Li frowned and was thinking, Gao Dashan suddenly said: "Okay, don't delay here. The longer we delay, the more rampant the barbarians will be. It is better to go down the mountain as soon as possible to gather the remnants and fight them back. "

This sentence woke up everyone, and the teenagers echoed one after another, and stopped lingering on the cliff, turned around and went down the mountain again.

Naturally, Yan Li didn't say anything, and followed down the mountain like a stream of kindness, but this time his eyes always glanced towards Rou Jia from time to time.Once or twice, the little princess finally noticed it. Rou Jia was also exhausted by the two days of continuous driving and lost her temper. She immediately said in a bad mood: "You go on your own way, why are you always staring at me when you have nothing to do?"

What I said, those who didn't know thought that Yan Li had taken a fancy to her... Of course, Rou Jia didn't mean that, but several of the young men who walked in front turned their heads, and turned their eyes to Yan Li and Rou Jia first. After turning around, he looked at Wen Ziran again, his eyes were quite strange.

Yan Li didn't pay attention to her, nor did he pay attention to the others, and after calmly looking away, he never looked at Rou Jia again.

Everyone walked away peacefully for a while, before Yan Li heard Wen Ziran asking next to him: "Brother, did you find anything when you looked at the princess?"

Yan Li felt that Wen Ziran was simply too perceptive sometimes, she seemed to be able to guess his thoughts even though she couldn't see them.For some unknown reason, Little General Yan pursed his lips, and finally responded softly: "I see that the number of barbarians in the city seems to be wrong."

This was a topic that was discussed yesterday, and Wen Ziran really understood what Yan Li meant immediately, she said: "Brother, you mean, are those barbarians chasing King Yan?" After a pause, she continued: " The barbarians who stayed in the city were probably just trying to create chaos and hold back the defenders."

It's a very simple sentence, but it actually points out a lot.For example, the situation in the city is not as severe as they imagined.Another example is that Yan Qing, who has guarded the border for many years, cannot be unaware of this.That being the case, last night General Yan asked Yan Li to go out of the city, and gave him the general card to lead someone to gather the remnants of the army. Was he entrusting him with a heavy responsibility?Or is it protecting this group of immature teenagers in a disguised form?

Intuitively, Wen Ziran felt it was the latter, but she couldn't understand General Yan's overprotection of Yan Li at all.

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

After a brief exchange with Wen Ziran, although she knew that Wen Ziran was just a little girl who had never been in contact with war, Yan Li was inexplicably more certain about the speculation in her heart-the border town didn't need them to save it!

In fact, when I left the city last night, I didn't meet many barbarians, so Yan Li had a vague understanding in his heart.Otherwise, the war is urgent, and it is impossible for him to sleep peacefully on the west mountain all night, let alone bring Wen Ziran and Roujia, two weak women who will obviously hinder the schedule, he should have left them on the mountain long ago, and then led everyone to turn around overnight. Passed Xishan.

But he didn't, because from then on his gut told him there was no need to rush, there was no danger.

Yan Li walked all the way thinking about it, and soon thought of the fleeing King Yan from the situation in the border town—in fact, compared to the border town, the fleeing King Yan may be more dangerous now, he has attracted too many Hu soldiers, and those people are probably not accompanied by him The Custodian soldiers of the guard can handle it.If King Yan ran fast, it would be fine if he could reach the next city before the barbarian iron cavalry caught up, otherwise no one would have a good time.

But looking back at this moment, the "Golden Horse" and "Tianma" are probably just a cover.Seeing that the Hu people chased King Yan so relentlessly, they probably came for this favored prince!

Thinking about what is there and what is not, everyone's footsteps are not slow, especially when the mountain is flattened later, the horses who have been ignored all day come in handy.Everyone got on their horses one after another, intending to take a look at the military camp on the outskirts of the city first, but in the end, the little princess was too disgusted to ride a horse: "This horse is too dirty, so I don't want to ride it!"

The golden horse covered in mud blinked its eyes with an innocent expression on its face.

Princess Roujia was born as an aristocrat, but she was squeamish but not arrogant.In the past two days, she has been running around constantly, and she walked with blisters on the soles of her feet without complaining.It is also for this reason that Gao Dashan and others have always had a good impression of the little princess, even though she is delicate and frail, they have not disliked her too much.Unexpectedly, at this time, the little princess was tired but couldn't bear to be dirty, so she lost her temper.

Fortunately, this is not irreconcilable, the guard immediately said: "The princess can ride the horse of his subordinates."

The little princess quickly agreed, and he didn't care about the beautiful and handsome golden horse. He had just exchanged reins with the guards, and before he could get on the horse, Gao Dashan yelled: "Who's there?!"

Following Gao Dashan's shout, Yan Li had already raised his hand and shot an arrow towards the back of the bushes.

At this time, most of the Hu people had already entered the city, or they were chasing King Yan down from the south gate, but it was unusually deserted outside the north gate.But even so, no one can guarantee that there will be no barbarians staying outside the north gate, and there are only ten people in their party. It is not easy to deal with a small team of Hu soldiers like the day before yesterday. Naturally, everyone is very vigilant.

But Yan Li's arrow missed.He reacted quickly, and he was not slow to bend the bow and set the arrow, but the person hiding behind the bushes seemed to be faster.When Yan Li shot in the direction he had noticed before, the people behind the bushes had already changed directions.But fortunately, the other party was a friend rather than an enemy, and after he came out, he bowed his hands to Rou Jia and said: "I will see the princess."

Hearing this, Yan Li put away his bow and looked closely, and found that the person who came was one of the twelve guards beside King Yan, and he was also a real master under King Yan.

Sure enough, Roujia said pleasantly the next moment: "Zhongze, why are you here? Where is my father?"

With Roujia's own confirmation, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.The next moment, I heard the man reply: "Princess, the prince sent me out of the city to look for the princess. Now that the princess is safe, the subordinate is finally lucky." As for King Yan, this man Didn't mention a word, I don't know if he didn't know, or he was worried about these people in front of him.

Gao Dashan and the others didn't think much about it, after all they watched Wang Jia go out of the city, except for Rou Jia who persisted in not believing, the rest including Yan Li didn't doubt it either.Seeing that the person named "Zhongze" kept silent until now, Yan Li became suspicious and asked, "Are you the guard of Yanwang Palace? Yesterday Yanwang left the city, and you have to take him with you when you find the Princess?" Where is she going?"

The man only glanced at him, perhaps recognized his identity, but he ignored him, and only said to Roujia: "Princess, the prince ordered his subordinates to bring you back, and please ask the princess to follow you." leave."

After hearing this, Rou Jia seemed a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Yan Li and the others.

The little general didn't want to keep her at all, so he waved his hand and said: "Since the prince sent someone to pick you up, princess, you should follow this lord and leave." Asked: "You can protect the safety of the princess, right?"

The man stood up straight, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Li: "Naturally."
