Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 36

After a day of turmoil, everyone in the capital is in danger, and there is no one on the broad palace road, like a dead city. The carriage squeaked and turned, and the eaves of Fusi in Nanzhen were faintly visible.

Xiao Changning still didn’t know how the battle was going on in Shen Xu, but he fell into Yu Yunqing’s hands by mistake, and the situation was obviously not good for Dongchang.

I have to think of a way to escape…

Just thinking about it, the horse snorted and his running speed slowed down a lot. After running for so long, the horse was also tired.

Xiao Changning gritted his teeth and estimated in his mind that at the current speed of the carriage, even if it jumps, it will not endanger its life. You can give it a try!

Taking advantage of Yu Yunqing’s ignorance, Xiao Changning took a punctual look and jumped out of the carriage. Because of her inertia, she couldn’t stabilize her figure for a while, and she rolled around on the ground before she could stop, and almost hit the high wall beside the road.

Yu Yunqing didn’t expect that she would jump out of the car so desperately, she was shocked, yelled ‘call’ to rein in the horse and jumped into the car to chase her.

Xiao Changning’s palms and knees were scratched, but it was obviously not the time to call pain. Fortunately, it was all skin injuries. She gritted her teeth to endure, quickly got up, and ran desperately towards the other side of the palace road.

The layers of gorgeous clothes were unbearable, she simply took off her outer robe while sprinting, the pearl hairpins in the temples trembled so that her face hurt, she simply pulled out the remaining hairpin ornaments and let the three thousand green silks fall like a waterfall. Hanging down, floating in the cold winter wind.

It’s a pity that she is a pampered and weak girl. How can she compare to a rigorously trained Jinyiwei in terms of speed of escape? Yu Yunqing hit her toes, stepped on the rubble of the palace wall three or two steps to catch up with her, jumped into the air, blocking her path.

“His Royal Highness, what is this?” Yu Yunqing looked at Xiao Changning, who was pale and could not help but distressed, and said, “His Royal Highness, don’t be afraid, the minister never thought of hurting you.”

“You used my life as a threat, and you said that you didn’t hurt me? Yu Yunqing, my mother looked away at the beginning, why did you become so disgusting!” Xiao Changning felt upset at the first glance, and just bit his red lips. , Retreat several steps, turned and ran in the opposite direction.

“No… Your Highness!”

Yu Yunqing desperately called her from behind, Xiao Changning turned a deaf ear, and desperately ran forward with all his strength, even if the cold wind was like a knife cut, even if the heart and lungs were tingling to the limit, her footsteps never stopped…

But she did not run far.

There was the sound of horseshoes in front of him, and a dozen guards in Jinyi guarded a girl in red rushing on horseback, just blocking Xiao Changning’s path.

At the moment when he saw Liang Yourong’s figure, Xiao Changning’s heart tightened, and he wanted to cry bitterly! Obviously, good luck never took care of myself.

Yuanjia has a narrow road and meets on a narrow road.

Liang Yourong was seriously injured, and he simply wrapped a white cloth on his shoulder, half of his arm was soaked in blood, and his red coat was dyed dull black and red. It seemed that Lin Huan didn’t get any advantage. She was pale and rolled off her horse almost feebly. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei helped her in time to prevent her from falling.

There is Liang Yourong in the front, Yu Yunqing in the back, and Xiao Changning cannot retreat.

The sky and the earth, the universe is vast, and the deep sense of frustration and despair made Xiao Changning unable to hide. At that moment, she even thought to herself: Shen Xuan was right, she was really useless!

If Shen Xuan faced such a situation, she would be able to solve it easily, right?

Xiao Changning was terrified and uneasy. Yu Yunqing behind him had caught up, but did not pay too much attention to Xiao Changning. Instead, he looked at Liang Yourong, who was covered in blood, with a trace of horror on his straight face. , Said: “Niang! You are injured!”

This little queen’s martial arts is far above Yu Yunqing, even the queen is not an opponent, and his odds of winning are even more slim!

He should have known that they were facing a group of monsters in Dongchang!

“It’s okay in this palace. You can’t fight anymore. Evacuate quickly to minimize casualties.” Liang Yourong’s face was as white as paper, but his eyes were clear and calm. She pushed away the Jinyiwei who supported her and looked at Xiao Changning, “Princess Changning still doesn’t want to go back to the palace with me?”

Xiao Changning stood up straight, with his long hair loose, saying every word: “I don’t want to die!”

“You chose the Dongchang traitor, betrayed the Xiao family, and betrayed your majesty.” Liang Yourong said calmly, with a cold voice, “but it’s up to you.”

Xiao Changning was slightly stunned, but he didn’t expect Liang Yourong to let go at this time.

“Queen, empress, never!” Yu Yunqing stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Changning’s retreat, her eyes darkened, and said anxiously, “The empress dowager’s decree, the princess of Changning must go to Nanzhen Fusi with her ministers and cooperate with Jin Yiwei to clean up the remnants of the East Factory!”

Liang Yourong frowned and saw the clue: “Nanzhen Fusi? Don’t you want to save her back to the palace?”

“I said long ago that it was the queen mother who lied to you. She was just using your rescue as an excuse to slaughter the East Factory with the Queen’s hands and remove the last obstacle to her conspiracy.”

Just now galloping for so long, the cold air choked into his lungs, Xiao Changning coughed a few times, and sternly supported her voice, “The queen mother didn’t intend to save me at all. She wanted to use my life to lure Shen Xuan to the Hongmen Banquet… to her. In other words, this is the last use of my chess piece.”

“His Royal Highness, it’s not what you think.” Liang Yourong was still thinking, and Yu Yunqing rushed to retort, “The Queen Mother only needs to cooperate with her in performing a play for Shen Xuan. As long as Shen Xuan is on the hook, the minister will ask the Queen Mother to let you go. We welcome you back to the palace with a big gift!”

“Idiot. This is acceptable for a three-year-old child. How can this palace be trusted?” Xiao Changning laughed, “Welcome me back to the palace? Even if this palace survives by chance, what kind of identity should I return to the palace? Abandoned son, or Dongchang widow?”

Yu Yunqing was speechless.

“In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the identity of this palace can only be clean after death. This palace is not a fool. I know who is good to me.”

As the cold wind came, Xiao Changning’s long hair drifted away like ink. She turned her back to the bleak and empty palace road, stepped back step by step, and said loudly: “It’s you, first abandon this palace!”

“Princess!”

“let her go.”

Yu Yunqing stopped Xiao Changning, but was restrained by Liang Yourong’s hand.

“Queens, the eldest princess is the key to our plan. If we fail, how should we meet the queen mother…”

“There is only one plan in this palace, and that is to protect your majesty. Even if it fails, this palace will apologize with death.” Liang Yourong glanced at Yu Yunqing coldly, apparently having figured out all the inside information, and said confidently, “but The kidnapping of Princess Changning is not done by a good person, and I can’t do it.”

As soon as the words fell, only a slight noise came from the corner at the end of the palace road.

The voice was so soft that it could hide in the wind, but Liang Yourong had a keen hearing and was still aware of it. She quickly drew her sword and turned around, tightly locked her eyes on the corner of the palace wall a few meters away, and shouted, “Who?!”

Could it be that the fan named Lin Huan caught up?

…Do not! This person is more terrifying than Lin Huan!

I saw a faint light from Xi, and a tall figure slowly abducted from the palace wall. He stood against the light, black gauze round hat, blood-soaked silver white python robe, long sword Senhan, and full of hostility, standing at the end of the avenue like a **** of war.

Xiao Changning was taken aback for a moment, and then a huge ecstasy came like a wave.

She recognized this figure, she saw hope!

He just stood there, his face hidden in the shadows, but Liang Yourong could still feel a strong murderous aura, hitting her heart and lungs, and she couldn’t breathe! She could even feel the blood clotting from the body, and the nasal cavity was full of blood, like a lamb about to be slaughtered…

Shen Xuan, he is still alive!

Could it be that… Commander Jin Yiwei made Huo Wei a miss?

No, it’s impossible. How could three thousand Jinyiwei defeat the 500 people in Dongchang? How did Shen Xuan do it!

In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Liang Yourong’s mind. She calmed herself down, clenched the hilt of the sword with her blood-stained hand, and whispered to Jin Yiwei: “Arrange the formation…”

Before he finished speaking, Yu Yunqing took action first. Suddenly, he rushed hurriedly, hugged Xiao Changning, who was rushing towards Shenxuan, and then placed a horizontal sword on her neck.

The moment the accident happened at the flashing stone, Xiao Changning had no time to react.

“Admiral Shen, you really are here!” Yu Yunqing restrained Xiao Changning’s twisted body, put the blade of her sword against her tender neck, and then lowered her voice to try to appease Xiao Changning, “His Royal Highness, don’t want to hurt Your Highness. , Just need your Highness to cooperate…”

“Cooperate with your grandma!” Xiao Changning really wanted to kill this idiot, and said angrily, “Bastard! Let go of this palace!”

Yu Yunqing smiled bitterly: “His Royal Highness is the only hope for the minister to live, how can the minister dare to let it go?”

“Yu Yunqing!” Liang Yourong’s pupils shrunk, her pale lips tightened, “You, as the solicitor of Nanzhen Fusi, used a knife to hold the eldest princess with a knife. What’s the difference between what you did and the Dongchang traitor who used the emperor to make the princes? “

After all, Liang Yourong lifted the sword to prevent Yu Yunqing from using such dirty tricks, but his face turned pale because of the wounds involved in the action, and the sword fell weakly to the ground.

She bit her lip, her body was stretched to the limit.

“Don’t be naive, Niang.” Yu Yunqing shook her lips and said ruthlessly towards Shenxuan, “Shenxuan, you put down the knife, don’t come over, otherwise…”

Shen Xuan was covered in blood, and she was barely able to see the original color in her python robe. Her stern face was full of blood drops, but she seemed even more fierce. He chuckled and stood ten paces away, standing upright with the slitted knife, then raised his arm, bit his sleeve with his teeth, and turned his head to tear off a piece of cloth. Immediately, he calmly wrapped the cloth around the palm of his hand that was soaked with blood. From beginning to end, his solemn eyes stared at Yu Yunqing fiercely, like two sharpened blades…

This is a look ready to fight. There is no emotion, no fear, powerful enough to be terrifying.

Yu Yunqing couldn’t help shivering, and the blade in his hand trembled.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and ordered the remaining ten or so subordinates: “Signal!”

Squeak-bang!

The fireworks bloomed over the capital, exploding into a pale and dazzling color.

“Yu Fushi, are you waiting for the three hundred reinforcements from Nanzhen Fusi?” Shen Xuan’s eyes seemed to be soaked in blood, covering a dark red. He didn’t rush, grasping the handle of the knife with his hands wrapped in a clean cloth, and said in a deep voice, “Unfortunately, I can’t wait.”

When the words fell silent, there was a loud noise coming from Nanzhen Fusi not far away. The flames rose to the sky in an instant, and they were blown up by gun-powder like what happened to Dongchang in the morning!

“What?” Yu Yunqing was shocked, eyes flashed with fire, and his face instantly turned pale, and muttered, “Impossible… how could this happen!”

“Does Yu Fu think that only Jin Yiwei can do something like a sneak attack? The Dongchang you bombed is just an empty shell carefully prepared by the governor. In fact, I have already asked Wu Youfu and others to evacuate and lie in your town. Fusizhong.” Shen Xuan took a step forward, and her robe made a hunting sound in the wind, as if she was arrogant as Shura: “There are three hundred and eight people from Nanzhen Fusi, is there any mistake in this superintendent?”

Three hundred and eight people, many of them…all were killed!

Yu Yunqing’s teeth were trembling, and the blade was trembling, and he almost cut Xiao Changning’s skin several times!

Xiao Changning’s forehead was sweaty, she exchanged glances with Shen Xuan from the air, and then swallowed hard, and determined to raise her hand, clinging her palm to Yu Yunqing’s arm, and calmly touching him holding the sword. ‘S thumb…

Then, she grabbed his thumb and squeezed it hard!

Yu Yunqing didn’t expect that she would have this trick, and immediately let out a muffled grunt, the sword fell to the ground, and the grip on her arm was loosened a lot!

It’s now!

Xiao Changning recalled the self-defense maneuvers that Shen Xuan had taught her, bending her elbows backwards, and ramming exactly three inches below Yu Yunqing’s ribs!

Due to extreme tension and fear, that collision almost exhausted Xiao Changning’s life’s strength! Yu Yunqing yelled, feeling only half of her body numb, and thumped to her knees, unable to get up for a long while.

Xiao Changning quickly picked up the long sword he had dropped, and slashed it towards his neck, moving smoothly and smoothly, in one go! Yu Yunqing was horrified, stumbled and leaned back in embarrassment, which was a fateful blow.

Xiao Changning’s sword only pierced a layer of skin at his Adam’s apple, if it was half an inch deeper, Yu Yunqing would definitely die!

She missed the chance when she missed a hit. Xiao Changning shook her hands and let her hands out of fear. She closed her eyes and shouted, “Shen Xuan!”

When the winter breeze started, the snow fell silent, a few cold lights flashed, and dozens of Jinyiwei fell in a pool of blood before they even had time to resist. Shen Xuan’s eyes were cold, walking on their pools of blood and warm corpses, and then rose up, drew a knife and slashed towards Yu Yunqing!

Suddenly, the sharp light of the knife pierced Yu Yunqing’s eyes, and his pupils reflected Shen Xuan’s fall astonished, like seeing Shura crawling out of hell…

Yu Yunqing fell to the ground and lost his weapon. He could only subconsciously raise his arm to block it. Then, he felt a cold in his right arm, and some fishy hot liquid sprayed his face. He was at a loss for a while, until a severed arm rolled in the air a few times and landed heavily in front of him, that he reacted in horror…

It was his own arm lying on the ground.
