Chapter 201: Marrying the Princess (34)
Two days later!
Gu Yuxi was just planning to take a rest and had just laid down when she heard a commotion outside the tent. When she was about to get up, she saw a man quickly opening the tent door and walking up to her.
"Achi!"
"Xi'er, I'm back."
She hugged the man's waist and said coquettishly, "If you don't come back, I will be bullied by those people."
"I will avenge you and destroy the small country of Youzhou."
"Ok!"
A short separation is better than a new marriage. The two had been separated for more than a year, but the fire in their hearts was ignited at once, like a long drought finally being met with a downpour. It was unknown how long the kiss lasted.
Gu Yuxi rubbed the man's heavy dark circles and patted the couch. The other party understood what she meant, took off his armor and other things, and slept with her in the same bed.
On the second day, He Tuchi and his men witnessed the tactics of Gu Yuxi and his men, and they directly and violently broke through the city gate and stunned the soldiers on the city.
"kill!"
After the two armies joined forces, Zhouyou and other cities opened their gates to accept the surrender. In less than half a month, Youzhou was history...
The Sky Prison in Dongli Kyoto!
"Ruinian, the capital is in danger now. Your Majesty is incompetent. Please leave quickly."
Liao Ruinian, who pretended to be a criminal soldier, begged his mother-in-law, but she shook her head and said nervously: "Son-in-law, please leave quickly, don't get caught."
"Mother, my sister and her men have seized two continents in a row. His Majesty is furious and is using you and me as bait. We cannot cause any more trouble for my sister."
Others also reminded: "Your Highness Changning, time is running out!"
"Lord Luo, take Yue'er and the others out quickly. I'm an old man and will only be a burden to you."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Without saying a word, Ji Shu skillfully struck Princess Changning and she fell to the ground unconscious.
They were originally unable to move around easily with a group of people, and now they finally escaped from the prison. Just as they got on the carriage and prepared to leave, they heard shouts from behind: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! The prisoner has escaped! Chase him quickly!"
"over there!"
Liao Ruinian blew a whistle as a signal, and the people who had been waiting outside immediately opened the north gate and let them pass. With the sound of horse hooves, the carriage rushed away like an arrow...
After escaping from the pursuit temporarily, the women began to complain: "How long can Dongli live? Without Dongli, who will take us in?"
"What's going on? His Majesty has arrested so many people. The princesses who were married off to other countries are all over the country. Could it be that he wants to arrest all the officials' families?"
Gu Xinyue hugged her child and cried about what she had experienced in the past half month. Now that war was raging everywhere, where could she find a place to settle down?
"Madam Liao, there is always a way to go. My son is now a famous general in Hejiang. We are all planning to go to Hejiang."
"Hejiang has the potential to swallow up the stars, and heroes are vying for supremacy. The opportunity for us to build a career is right in front of us."
"By the way, nephew Liao, where are you going?"
Liao Ruinian: "Go all the way north to find a way out in Kehetun."
"Princess Jieyou once said that the world will be in chaos one day, and heroes are made by the times!"
"I was foolish before. I thought that if I was loyal to Dongli, I could get an Anou. I was laughed at by Kehe Dun for a long time."
More than a dozen people fled along the way, sleeping in the open air and bumpy for several days. The pressure on Liao Ruinian and others, who were carrying the elderly, the weak, women and children, became increasingly greater.
"Gentlemen, Master Ji, let's go separately and meet up at the place where we discussed this."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself!"
The sound of horse hooves hitting the wind rang out. Turning their heads, they saw a group of soldiers chasing after them, cursing, "You robbed the prison privately, why don't you return to Kyoto and confess your crime!"
"Run!"
"No one can escape. Anyone who tries to escape will be killed first!"
Several carriages were galloping along, with the strong men leaving behind. Liao Ruinian took a sword and took the brunt of the attack against the general. To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. He has been a coward in recent years, but he has not lost his skills.
"Liao Ruinian, you look honest, but you dared to do something like robbing the prison."
"I have no intention of offending the imperial court, but I am being oppressed to the point of suffocation. I would rather not be a good citizen!"
After a fight among several people, Liao Ruinian and others finally shook off the pursuers and continued to flee.
The vehicle suddenly stopped, and the people inside looked out the window. The scene not far away made people gasp - there was darkness ahead, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was not a real dark cloud, but a large and dense army approaching rapidly.
The soldiers were dressed in uniform armor, marching in unison, pushing all kinds of strange machines; they held all kinds of sharp weapons in their hands, flashing cold light and exuding a chilling aura.
The whole scene was solemn and depressing, without any sound at all, only the sound of horse hooves and footsteps intertwined together to form a deafening roar!
The leading team carried the "pioneer" eagle and other patterns, holding weapons and shouting: "There is an unknown team ahead, speed up!"
"Old You, what should I do? This is the end of my story today."
"Lao Luo, what are you guys in a daze about? Run!"
They didn't know what to do and were soon caught up by the vanguard troops in front and surrounded.
"Captain Vanguard, can you please tell me the way first?"
"Let me ask you, how far is the next city from here?"
"This……"
"Don't say anything. Seeing that you are wearing the clothes of Dongli soldiers, I'm afraid you are spies. You have kept these people under surveillance."
"No, you misunderstood, sir. We..."
A spear was pointed in front of Liao Ruinian, and he said coldly: "I will make the decision myself. If you want to say anything more, you have to ask the sharp blades in our hands."
Just when Liao Ruinian and others thought they were dead, they heard a familiar voice.
"Father."
"Mother! Sister..."
Looking carefully, they saw Gu Yuxi, You Yan and others riding horses and galloping towards them. Seeing this, the soldiers also withdrew, leaving them disheveled in the wind.
"Xie'er!"
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
"Mother thought she would never see you again. It's great to be alive." Princess Changning was so excited that she suddenly fainted and fell down.
"Mother!"
Gu Yuxi took her pulse and found out that she was tired from running around and worrying too much recently, which was really hard on her.
"Xi'er, what's happening to your mother-in-law?"
"You're tired from running around, just take a good rest." Looking at the miserable looks of those people, Gu Yuxi asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, teacher, uncles, why are you so miserable?"
"Hey, now your majesty has been deceived by the eunuch in the palace. He has captured the families and relatives of the princesses who were to be married off. We robbed the prison a few days ago and fled here."
"It's hard for you."
Hetu Chiming ordered the army to rest for a while. After settling the dozen or so people who had fled, Sheng Baru said, "Khan, the city ahead is Fengcheng, and the gate is open. We have captured a few soldiers. You need to question them."
"No need for that. Since Fengcheng is just ahead, notify all the generals to gather and speed up to capture Fengcheng before dark."
"I will go and inform you right away."
