Swinging the sword, Zhu Qizhen promptly beheaded the soldiers of the Wang family who were trying to push Tan Yunxian off the cliff. The bright red blood sprayed from the neck artery of the man gradually sprayed on their faces and bodies.Zhu Qizhen didn't care too much, he carried her on the horse's back, sat sideways in front of him, and cut off the shackles on Tan Yunxian's body with his sword.He turned the horse's head, flicked the whip and galloped, and the horse galloped all the way down the mountain.

In the cave, Wu, who is like a female bandit, pointed her index finger at all the soldiers who survived the disaster, stared, gritted her teeth and cursed: "Are you all dead? Why don't you hurry up and chase those dogs and men to the Ai family?" Come back! Hang Tan Yunxian, Zhu Qizhen's family wants you to die!"

"Ms. Taifei, I, we only have a carriage. It will take a long time to untie the ropes of the horses, and then His Majesty and Hang Yunxian will still run away."

"Yes, yes!" the survivors echoed in unison.

"Useless things, don't you have bows and arrows without horses? If you can't catch up, if you can't catch up, shoot arrows for Aijia. It's best to shoot this pair of dogs and men into hedgehogs, so as to avenge my Yu'er!"

Shocking Wu's viciousness and viciousness, only the remaining soldiers felt a chill in their hearts.They knelt on the ground and said worriedly: "But, but him, he is His Majesty the Emperor!"

Wu jumped up anxiously and scolded: "My Yu'er is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qizhen is a traitor who usurped the throne. Why are you still standing there waiting for them to escape down the mountain!"

Perhaps it was because of Wang Ying's backing, or because they knew that they had offended the emperor and committed a heinous crime of treason. If the emperor returned to the capital smoothly, they would be the ones who could bear it - murdering the emperor, trying to Killing the king is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans, and even the heavenly king and Lao Tzu cannot save them.In order to save their own lives, Wang Ying's soldiers became more courageous, and actually obeyed Wu's orders, prepared their bows and arrows, and lay in ambush among the grass and bushes in the mountains, waiting for Zhu Qizhen to gallop past. Fire a few arrows and shoot them dead.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhu Qizhen rode a horse, whipped his whip, and led Tan Yunxian to gallop to the left side of the mountain as if he had a goal.The autumn wind is bleak at night, especially in the mountains, the wind is stronger and colder.Immediately, Zhu Qizhen took off his cloak and wrapped it around Tan Yunxian, covering her from the biting cold wind.

In the cold night of late autumn, Tan Yunxian, who was protected by Zhu Qizhen and wrapped in a cloak, felt the warm heat rising from the bottom of her heart pouring into her limbs and bones. Without the help of Princess Hua, she escaped from the past of Wala.

In the winter of that year, the north wind was howling, heavy snow was flying, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the surrounding desolation seemed to have no direction.The big grass stalls in Mobei dripped into ice, and the biting cold north wind blew on the face, as if cut by a knife, and the thick coarse linen clothes wrapped around the body could not resist the invasion of the cold winter.

The same is true, Zhu Qizhen took off the only clothes that could keep out the cold, turned it into a curtain in front of the tree hole to shelter her from the wind and snow, and went to find someone to rescue her wearing single clothes, and almost froze to death in the snow on the way .Although things have changed, but in retrospect, Tan Yunxian still feels that Zhu Qizhen really loves her, just like she loves him, he can disregard his own life.

At that time, even though it was so cold that people were about to turn into lumps of ice.Consciousness is still clear.Ever since they met in Yongqing'an, gave her a silver needle, and rescued her from the prison in Shuntian Mansion, Yongqing'an relaxed and regained her confidence, watched fireworks, gave her a bracelet during the Lantern Festival, and sent her first-aid medicinal materials to the first-aid in time for cholera. Once entering the palace with his help and support, she became a female officer in charge of medicine, and then there was the civil war, and the two lived and died together... Scenes of the past, like a revolving lantern in her mind, made her more certain of herself heart of.She loves him, this kind of life-and-death, never-separated feeling is born from the heart, and it cannot be controlled by etiquette and patriarchal law and a couple of vows.

Now, it was him again, riding alone on the cliff to rescue her and shelter her from the cold autumn wind.

Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen who was behind him yelled sharply: "It's not good" It was too late to say, it was so fast, before Tan Yunxian asked what was wrong with him, he felt him fall off the horse with his arms in his arms , and rolled down the slope on the other side.

Zhu Qizhen tightly protected her with his arms, and wrapped her head and face with a cloak to prevent her from being hurt by the bushes and thorns on the mountain.However, he himself rolled his whole body on the hillside full of bushes and rocks.The instinct to survive made Zhu Qizhen completely ignore the discomfort caused by the fleshy stones on the ground and the thorny flowers and plants on the path that could easily scratch the skin. It is considered to have avoided the cold arrow swishing from behind.

After an unknown amount of time, Tan Yunxian, who was hiding in his arms, suddenly felt that Zhu Qizhen, who was protecting her from fleeing for his life, stopped and put her on his body.He lay on the ground, gasping for breath with lingering fear.But his arms still held her tightly, wrapping her cloak around her body, making her feel warm and comfortable even though she was rolling down the hillside with him to flee for her life.And he...

He is always like this, in order to protect her well, regardless of his own life, he can even give up his innate arrogance and emperor's dignity.

Thinking of this, Tan Yunxian's nose became sour, and tears filled his eyes.

This is another time they lived and died together after Wala!Zhu Qizhen sat up from the ground, took out a flawless white handkerchief embroidered with orchids from his sleeve, and wiped the blood splattered on her face for her, muttering: "The girl's face is still beautiful. Cleaner and nicer."

Hearing this, Tan Yunxian was stunned for a moment, and stared at him with tears in his eyes.Zhu Qizhen's words brought her thoughts back to ten years ago.At that time, they fled from Wala back to Daming, passing through Baoding, just in time for the Lantern Festival.Men and women who are in love with each other watch the lanterns in pairs on the street, talking and laughing, which is extremely sweet.Zhu Qizhen bought a silk flower from a vendor, put it on her temples and said, "Girl, you should wear some beautiful jewelry on your head!"

At that time, she knew that she fell in love with him.The sweetness in my heart has already surpassed the shyness.He didn't know that silk flowers were her treasures like gold and jade bracelets.One wears it, the other hides it.

"Yunxian..."

"Qi Zhen..." Tan Yunxian grabbed the hand that was wiping off the blood on his face, his tearful eyes looked around him, and his eyes were full of worry.

She rolled up Zhu Qizhen's sleeves and carefully checked whether he was injured.

Zhu Qizhen smiled nonchalantly, patted her on the face and said: "Silly girl! Your man's martial arts are so strong, how could a few little Luo Luos be able to hurt him casually?"

"You...you still have the time to joke around, you don't know how worried I am, there are so many of them, and you are alone..." Tan Yunxian pouted and gave him a coquettish look, his little face flushed with anxiety, and said As she said that, tears started to fall from her eyes like it was raining.

As soon as he saw Tan Yunxian crying, Zhu Qizhen felt like his heart was being grabbed by someone.He took Tan Yunxian into his arms, leaned his lips together and kissed her side face, grabbed her hand and smacked his mouth, coaxing softly while "slapping" : "My good wife, it's all about her husband's bad intentions, and she treats her kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs, she should be beaten!"

How could Tan Yunxian be willing to beat him?He had already pulled away the hand that was held by him, stood up neatly from the ground and turned to his back, under the misty moonlight, squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch his back, and checked carefully.Ask him while touching, does it hurt here, does it hurt there?Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, it doesn't hurt.Tan Yunxian didn't believe him, he thought that what he said was just to make her feel at ease.

Hehe, really... Falling in love with a doctor is really troublesome!

Zhu Qizhen smiled and shook his head, seemingly helpless, but sweet waves were churning in his heart.

After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.The coat was scratched by a bush, but the clothes inside were in good condition, there must have been no serious scars, but some bruises.

Zhu Qizhen took her hand, brought her to sit beside him, hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Madam, are you relieved?" Tan Yunxian nodded slightly, "Yes" and said: "It's not hurt! It's just that the clothes are scratched. There is no trauma but there is blood, go back and apply some ointment for you!"

"Doctor Tan is really amazing!" Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.Tan Yunxian smiled slightly: "Of course!"

After she finished speaking, she looked up at the moon in the sky, sniffed, and then asked as if remembering the situation just now: "Qi Zhen, me, we are... what happened just now?"

sat on the grass.Looking at him by the moonlight, although I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, those star-like eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dark night.

She clearly saw a frightening cold light flashing across his eyes like lightning.

Since I met him, this is the first time I have seen his eyes like this, the majesty of an emperor is revealed in the coldness.However, the next words brought Tan Yunxian back to him who first met him in Weifu ten years ago in Yongqing Nunnery, "These bastards, who clearly know who I am, still dare to listen to that crazy woman, hide Shooting cold arrows in the mountains and forests, shameless villain!"

"They are... you, how do you know they know you?" Tan Yunxian asked with a frown.

"They are Wang Ying's people!" Zhu Qizhen concluded with a quick glance at Tan Yunxian.He said slowly, without any emotion: "More than ten years ago, some of them participated in the Northern Expedition to Wala. Let's put it this way, 10 people died in the Northern Expedition to Wala more than ten years ago. There were only 29 of them, and the rest took advantage of the chaos and fled. They fled back to the capital and had nowhere to go, so they were raised by Wang Ying as private soldiers. Recruiting soldiers privately has been the most taboo of emperors since ancient times!"

"Then, then he..." Tan Yunxian frowned, and looked at Zhu Qizhen suspiciously.

Zhu Qizhen smiled wryly and said: "Although Wang Ying, an old man, is sinister and vicious, he also forms a party in the court for personal gain, takes bribes, and dares to keep dead soldiers and private soldiers in private. It is not only because of his relationship with the Empress Dowager Sun, but because of his relationship with the Empress Dowager Sun." It is true that he has real talents and real learning! From the first emperor's dynasty, he was the Minister of the Household Department in charge of finance. For so many years, whether in the court or in the local government, I really can't find a better financial manager than him. What kind of person is Wang Ying? Don’t you know that your talent is irreplaceable?”

"Relying on this, he acted recklessly?" Tan Yunxian rubbed his hands with the cold, his voice trembling.Zhu Qizhen wrapped her cold hands in his palms to warm them.Looking up at her, he smiled proudly and said, "As expected of my woman..."

As he spoke, he wrapped the cloak around her cold and trembling delicate body, and embraced her in his arms.

Tan Yunxian listened, pursed his lips and smiled, a gentle smile appeared on his beautiful face.

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in the forest, from far to near: "Your Majesty, where are you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xianer, Xianer..." Then, it seemed that a group of people were all in Shout: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Mrs. Tan, Your Majesty."

Hearing this familiar voice, Tan Yunxian excitedly raised his head from his arms, looked at Zhu Qizhen in surprise, his pale face was filled with an angry smile: "Qizhen, it's me..."

With downcast eyes, Zhu Qizhen looked at her dotingly, with a mysterious smile raised at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, it was General Tan who came to rescue us, and some old friends also came."

Tan Yunxian raised his eyebrows, looked at him suspiciously and asked: "Old man, could it be... my adoptive father?"

With a "tch", Zhu Qizhen gave her a blank look, and jokingly put on the appearance of a dandy with the characteristics of "Zheng Qi" to tease her: "Has your adoptive father been captured by the Wala people? He is the defender of Beijing." How could he be a great hero like Zhu Qizhen, a foolish ruler with great ambition and talent, who took people as captives. He also made Lao Tzu's woman suffer with him, who the hell!"

At first when I said this, I hoped to make Tan Yunxian smile, but unexpectedly, when Zhu Qizhen said this, Tan Yunxian frowned slightly, and said with pity and resentment: "Yuanbao, don't be like this!" Talk about yourself, okay? Over the years, you have done well enough! Yuan Bao, I have always been very fortunate that I was able to live and die with you in Wala at that time, and witnessed your transformation with my own eyes!"

"Yunxian, you..." Zhu Qizhen lowered his head, staring at her affectionately with downcast eyes, crystal tears overflowing in his starry eyes.Just as he was about to say something, Tan Gang had brought Li San, the commander in chief, Hou Bin, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei, and others, and found them at the foot of a mountain depression.

Although it was dark, the scene of the two embracing each other fell into Tan Gang's eyes without distinction.Although, he knew in his heart that the two had agreed to each other for life and death, and their love was deeply rooted.Although, he no longer used to teach his daughter that starving to death is a small thing, and that injustice is a big deal, and he didn't go into her pursuit of what she loved in her heart, which was unethical.But Cheng Zhu's philosophy of Neo Confucianism has taken root in his bones. After all, his daughter is still a woman who has not left the cabinet, so she hugs a man like this...

It's just that this man is not something he can offend.Besides, this man really loves his daughter.For so many years, His Majesty the Emperor has never forgotten his daughter...

Therefore, seeing this scene, he only looked at Tan Yunxian with his eyes, and asked with some reproach in his words: "Xian'er, you were not accused by Mrs. Wu..."

"Father, it was Qi Zhen who rescued her daughter from the Wu family." As she said that, she smiled and gave Zhu Qizhen a quick look. In the bright and beautiful eyes like a clear spring, there was something that only he could understand. affection.Tan Yunxian turned his face away, and told his father in detail how he was deceived, how he was kidnapped by the Wu family, and how Zhu Qizhen single-handedly went to rescue her.

After listening to his daughter's narration, Tan Gang felt grateful to Zhu Qizhen from the bottom of his heart. Deeply, he folded his hands and bowed to Zhu Qizhen at ninety degrees. When he was about to say something, he was caught Standing up, Zhu Qizhen interrupted: "General Tan, you also know my feelings for Yunxian. If you want to say thank you, wouldn't it be too far-fetched? Just now, I was still thinking, waiting for you to come I'm asking you to marry Yunxian to me, and I don't know if General Tan should approve our marriage."

"Your Majesty, you..." For a moment, Tan Gang didn't know what to say.Although, in his heart, there are a hundred and a thousand people who would like his daughter to marry this man who is infatuated with her and loves her in every possible way.As long as his daughter can be happy and fulfilled, he, as a father, can rest assured.But, after all, Yunxian has been with King Yi, even if they and Qi Zhen don't care, what about the world?

Daming, after all, is not the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. Women can remarry to others at will, without being bound by etiquette, and no one criticizes them.The Ming Dynasty advocated Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, paid attention to women's honor and chastity, and paid attention to one woman not marrying two husbands.Ordinary people are like this, what's more, King Yi was also a generation of emperors?If I readily agreed to Zhu Qizhen and his daughter's marriage, how would the world treat the Tan family?

While furrowing his brows and thinking deeply, Zhu Qizhen's words came to his ears unexpectedly. He seemed to see through Tan Gang's thoughts and said: "Yunxian has nothing to do with King Tan! The queens of King Tan are the Wang family and the Hang family." , not Tan! Besides, Yunxian has never really married anyone, so how can one maid and two husbands harm her reputation?"

When he said these words, he had already stood up from the ground, standing upright in front of everyone like a hundred-year-old pine.Staring at Tan Gang in front of him, his handsome face was full of awe, and his words were so loud that people wanted to refute, but they couldn't find a suitable defense, so they could only let it go.

Tan Gang sighed and said: "Your Majesty... It seems that Your Majesty is determined to marry Yunxian."

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows, and for the first time in front of his ministers, he let go of the emperor's posture, half joking, half seriously asking: "Could it be that my son-in-law is not as good as Master Yuezhang?"

Hearing this, Tan Yunxian, Li San and others who were present all pursed their lips and smiled.Tan Gang's face suddenly turned pale. He hastily lowered his eyes, folded his hands, covered his frightened expression with his wide sleeves, and tried his best to hide the trembling of his voice, saying: "Xian'er can win His Majesty!" Such affection, affection, and infatuation are indeed the blessings of Tan's family, and I am very grateful. It's just that Xian'er was with King Tan in the past, and it belonged to His Majesty... Therefore, I am terrified."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Qizhen took the words without any gap, and said righteously, "Why are you afraid? If I really minded, I wouldn't like Yunxian at all, and I wouldn't come all the way to find her."

At this moment, Li San, who was standing aside, persuaded: "Yes, General Tan, you don't even know how deep your Majesty and Mrs. Tan's relationship was when they were in Wala. It is true that life and death depend on each other, never leave! Mrs. Tan can To die for His Majesty, His Majesty did not hesitate to compromise the dignity of the emperor for Lady Tan. To protect Lady Tan, His Majesty said, 'Fame is never as important as life!'”

Then, he told a past event that he heard from the Wala herdsmen in detail.However, before he could say the word "Shou", he was interrupted by Tan Yunxian: "Li San!" The reason why she interrupted Li San in such a hurry was because, Zhu Qizhen!After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen turned to look at her expression, shocked, regretful, moved and sweet...

This is probably another secret that Zhu Qizhen doesn't know between them!Perhaps, in his dreams, he didn't even dare to think that Tan Yunxian loved him so madly and so deeply.

No wonder, no wonder, when he said to Tan Yunxian, who has become a noble concubine, "You have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, just to come back to see him?"You, you can be regarded as lovers who finally got married' At that time, Tan Yunxian did not have the sweet and joyful expression of cultivation, but looked at him, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.That look is very similar to the Weaver Girl who came to the Magpie Bridge to meet the Cowherd on the night of the Qixi Festival, as if she wanted to tell him about the unfortunate situation after being split by the Queen Mother of the West and taken back to the Heavenly Palace.

At that time, in her heart, he was the cowherd who fell in love with her!How could he just not notice this?Was it because he was too dull and didn't understand style? Or, at that time, he couldn't believe that Tan Yunxian's love belonged to him?

Although Li San didn't complete his words, he already roughly guessed what the unspoken word was.Yes, Tan Yunxian loves him, and he is the only one he loves from the beginning to the end.

It's just that she would rather wrong herself than hurt Queen Qian.She kept it from him, but in Tan Yunxian's heart, she regarded herself as one with her.Wrong them, don't hurt others.

She is just like him, kind and selfless.

Tan Gang sighed deeply. Two people who are so infatuated with each other live and die together, never leave, what else can he say?Not to mention that the other party is the emperor, even if he is an ordinary man, he would marry her as a wife if he does not dislike his daughter's remarriage and insults his virginity, and he is so infatuated with her. As a father, he has no iron heart. Reasons for not agreeing to this marriage.

"Your Majesty..." Li San, who was wearing a general's armor and uniform, called out, and suggested: "This place is not a place to stay for a long time, please move your majesty and Mrs. Tan to the post station in Xitang!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said decisively, "Okay! The fugitive Wu, and those dog legs raised by Wang Guogong in private captivity, beheaded on the spot for the crime of treason!"

Li San was about to agree, but was stopped by Tan Yunxian.

"Xian'er, don't be presumptuous! This is government affairs, you have no right to interfere!" Tan Gang said seriously.

However, Tan Yunxian turned a deaf ear to this, and quietly tugged on Zhu Qizhen's clothes, suggesting: "Qizhen, if the Wu family is killed, she will be killed as well. She is one of the main culprits who tried to murder His Majesty this time, and she deserves what she deserves. It's just those who The soldiers, they are also acting on orders, as a last resort. You also know Wu's methods - despicable and shameless, maybe the family members of those soldiers are in Wu's hands! If they are spared their death penalty, they must be grateful and say Maybe I will turn against you and use it for you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and felt that her words were not unreasonable.He instructed Li Sandao: "To capture the thief, first capture the king, and then kill the chief criminal, Mrs. Wu! I will quietly bring those personal soldiers back to Beijing. Let them wear regular army uniforms, and don't startle them!"

"I obey the order!" After speaking, Li San made a move and led more than 500 soldiers in armored uniforms and armed with knives, guns and firearms to the cave on horseback.

The author has something to say: The part where Qi Zhen wears flowers to Yun Xian mentioned here is the plot in the novel, and the TV series deleted this part.But I think this paragraph is more romantic, and it can better show Yunxian's side of a little girl, and her sincere love for Qi Zhen.
