fan dance

The four of them rushed all the way, all covered in blood, and ran for a long distance, until it was pitch black and no fire or pursuers could be seen, then they slowed down.

This is deep in the mountains and forests, with rustling footsteps, An Yanheng listened attentively, making sure he had thrown off all the pursuers, so he took a fire pocket and a small jar of kerosene from his arms, and found a place where he felt dry. For those with more leaves, pour a little kerosene on them and light them with a torch.

The light of the fire was so weak that it could barely illuminate a square inch of land. Moreover, An Yanheng's kerosene had been mixed with something, so the light of the fire glowed faintly blue. "Let's get rid of them for the time being, let's rest here for a while."

Ce Junmo held Su Chengjing tightly, not daring to let him go. Shen Anming held the knife in one arm and used the blade to support himself to stand firm. The four of them looked at each other, but they were too tired to say a word.

Su Chengjing's face was stained with tears, and he stared at An Yanheng blankly, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start, just like a child who is at a loss.

After this fierce battle, An Yanheng also suffered several injuries, and his physical strength was exhausted. He coughed twice and spat out blood from his mouth, "Yuchi will be fine, we didn't run just now, we were holding him back."

Su Chengjing knew that Yuchiqiu was good at martial arts, but no matter how powerful one person was, he could defeat ten or 20 people, and if he was surrounded by more than a hundred people, would he really be able to escape smoothly?Su Chengjing gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down, staring at the darkness and blood on their way, feeling dazed for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Su Chengjing was in a daze, as if he fell asleep because of being too tired, or was forcibly knocked unconscious by Ce Junmo, he couldn't remember clearly, his mind was in chaos.For a while, there is a fan dancing all over the city, and there are nightly singing and dancing on the painting boat, and for a while, blood is blooming, and Yuchi Qiuyu's face is covered with blood, as if falling into an endless hell.

Ah Qiu...

The dream was grotesque, but he couldn't do without the figure of that man. He called the young master softly like a girl in a boudoir; he shot silver needles and smiled decisively at Fengyun.

Ah Qiu...

"I am here."

As if piercing the clouds and breaking the moon, this soft response instantly shattered the blurred dream, Su Chengjing only felt his mind cleared up, and suddenly opened his eyes.

The sky is bright, the birds are singing, and the bloody battle last night seems like a lifetime ago.

Seeing that Su Chengjing woke up, Chen Hua, who was carrying him on his back, stopped, put him down carefully, and then immediately turned around and bowed down, "My subordinate Chen Hua is late, Third Highness forgive me."

Su Chengjing looked intently, several people were still wearing blood clothes, and Chen Hua, who was carrying him on his back, should have come last night, Ce Junmo silently said that the two supported each other, and the person standing beside An Yanheng was not just in a dream, The figure that made him unable to let go? "Aqiu!"

Yu Chiqiu's clothes were also stained with a large amount of blood, whether it was his own or splashed during the fight.He looked at Su Chengjing calmly, with a tired look on his face, but he didn't look weak: "Well, I'm fine."

Then, Yu Chiqiu briefly explained what happened after last night.He saw that after Su Chengjing was taken away, he fought with Ning Wu, and then Chen Hua found him from nowhere, and the two fought side by side, and when they realized that the situation was not good, they escaped together and went after Su Chengjing and the others.

The blue bonfire lit by An Yanheng is not only a lighting, but also a secret signal for Yu Chiqiu.An Yanheng was worried that the pursuers would arrive first, so he quietly knocked Su Chengjing unconscious and continued to evacuate. It was not until dawn that Yu Chiqiu and Chen Hua followed the traces and caught up with the four of them.

Chen Hua said: "This subordinate took Anchen to act according to the plan, but was ambushed on the way to Yaoziling. This subordinate was worried about the safety of the Third Highness, so he turned to look for the Third Highness. How could we know that something was wrong? They were all calculated." He lowered his head and said bitterly, "Only a few people from the Dark Star Division escaped, and they have already been separated. The subordinate ordered them to go down the mountain to find His Highness Fourth. At this moment, I don't know what to do."

Su Chengjing closed his eyes and remained silent. Chenhua is the leader of Anchen, and his subordinates are all like brothers. Seeing the heavy casualties of his brothers, he must be in great pain. "Then... is there any news about Dark Star, Dark Moon and Dark Mist?"

Chen Hua lowered her head: "Dark Star has rebelled, and my subordinates don't know their situation. Dark Moon and Dark Mist... I was on the road, and I encountered the corpses of Yue Ni and Wu Rong... These two are the leaders of the two ministries. Department has also..."

"There are so many casualties..." Su Chengjing murmured, "The five books left by the second brother to the fourth brother, unexpectedly...heh..." He looked around, suddenly puzzled, and asked, "Where are we going? ?”

Chen Hua's expression froze, but she remained silent.Seeing that none of Su Chengjing's three subordinates dared to speak, An Yanheng snorted, "We can't hide it, there are pursuers behind us, let's continue walking into the deep mountains."

Su Chengjing murmured: "Since they are chasing us, why don't we turn around and go down the mountain to lead to Ningzhou, even if the fourth brother can't point to it, I can still find Ningzhou to garrison." Distressed, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, "The three tribes are gone, we must have no helpers on the mountain, and Chenhua is here, why don't we put all our eggs in one basket and go down the mountain to ask for help from the army."

"If you can go down the mountain, Yuchi wouldn't have suggested going up the mountain from the very beginning." An Yanheng was the most outspoken, seeing that no one dared to tell the truth, he said straightforwardly, "His Royal Highness, let me just say it straight, we can't go back to Ningzhou City, The Ningzhou army has all fallen into the opponent's control."

"How is it possible!" Su Chengjing's face changed suddenly, "Ningzhou has [-] troops, Luo Zhili dares to do so!" Ningzhou, an important southern town, is naturally heavily guarded, and [-] Ningzhou troops can almost be said to dominate one side.But because Leng Anyue hadn't held her coming-of-age ceremony yet and had no military power, the Ningzhou Army was controlled by the Suzaku General Luo Zhili appointed by the imperial court.

Chen Hua said: "Your Highness, have you ever thought about it? The three divisions are all elites, and there are at least a hundred people in total. Why are there so many casualties? Even if Lan Xu penetrated into Ningzhou, why did he kill these hundreds of experts?" What's more, last night's troops were numerous and well-trained, but they were not experts. It was because they were not brought by Lan Xu, but the Ningzhou Army. Li is seconded to Ning Wu's Ningzhou Army!"

"But……"

Seeing that Su Chengjing still didn't believe it, Yu Chiqiu had no choice but to stand up and say, "My lord, I mixed with the Lanxu people. I once entered Ningzhou City with them and lived in the Lanxu Hotel. The purpose was to meet a Mr. Luo. That Luo He is about forty years old, and what is special is that he has a sarcoma the size of a grain of rice on his left forehead."

"It's Luo Zhili..." Su Chengjing gritted his teeth, "He actually colluded with Lan Xu..." I thought it was just Lan Xu sneaking into Ningzhou to cause trouble, but now it seems that mutiny is involved. Without seniority, Leng Anyue was even younger, and the two brothers belonged to the royal family, but they were probably powerless in the face of a sudden mutiny.

Chen Hua continued: "Military orders are the first in the army, and Luo Zhili has been operating in the Ningzhou army for many years. We are weak and might not be able to compete with them. For the present plan, we can only get rid of the pursuers first, and get past this Go to the military camps in Pingzhou and Lingzhou to ask for help.”

Although Pingzhou and Lingzhou are inferior to Ningzhou in terms of geographical location, the three cities are centered on the stretch of Ningcheng Mountain, and they are mutually restraining and rescue, forming a corner.

Su Chengjing glanced at Chen Hua, hesitantly: "If Pingzhou and Lingzhou have already..." He also became suspicious of Chen Hua, how could a spy guard be so familiar with the army.

Chen Hua seemed to understand Su Chengjing's suspicion, she didn't take it seriously, she lowered her head and responded: "Your Highness, General Pingzhou Guard and General Lingzhou are both transferred from Northwest Daying General Hu, so don't worry."

Hearing the words, Su Chengjing's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Okay." These words are like a reassurance, and Mochen, Northwest Daying, can definitely be trusted.He felt more at ease, "Then shall we continue on our way?"

Yu Chiqiu had been paying attention to the movement behind him, and said softly: "Last night, Ning Wu was not hurt because he was eager to get away. Since he has shown his intention of treason to the young master, he will not let us go for the sake of Lan Xu. I'm afraid that someone should be dispatched to chase now, we have to speed up our pace."

Chen Hua's guard, Leng Anyue, has been in Ningzhou for several years and knows the terrain of Ningcheng Mountain like the palm of his hand: "This is the hinterland of Ningcheng Mountain. They will not chase them fast, but they have to go from here to the nearest Pingzhou. I'm afraid it will take another two days. The subordinates are just worried..." He cast his eyes on Su Chengjing, who has been running away for a day and a night, and this golden branch and jade leaf is also embarrassing.

"It's okay, let's go." Su Chengjing wiped his face, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, "If I really die here, I have no shame to go underground." He has formed a habit, and he stretched out his hand to hold Yuchiqiu, The latter's face suddenly changed, and he dodged lightly and skillfully.

There was a tightness in his chest, and Su Chengjing was embarrassed and angry at the same time, as if his heart had been pinched, and he couldn't breathe out of depression all of a sudden. "Aqiu, you..." He didn't know why Yu Chiqiu avoided him suddenly, wanted to ask but felt unable to ask.

Yu Chiqiu smiled wryly and said: "I used poison in the fight last night, and now I still have a little bit of poison on my body, I'm afraid it will hurt you, it will be better after a few hours of dispersal." In the fight last night, he originally wanted to burn everything, So he urged Su Chengjing and others to leave, so he wanted to use poison, but just after releasing some poison powder, Chen Hua suddenly appeared, and his plan had to be stopped at this point.

"En." Su Chengjing breathed a sigh of relief, and the group continued to move deep into the mountain.
