Qinghe

Chapter 13 Decision

In the early morning, the waning moon is thrown into the sky like a pebble that has lost its luster.This summer night is always short, and before the sweet dream wakes up, the rooster crows first.

General's Mansion.Qi Feng just got up, and saw a person in the garden, dressed in a light blue dress, tall and tall, standing upright, standing in the gazebo, the outer shirt covered seemed a little wet, like It was like being wet with dew.

Qi Feng approached and shouted: "General? You stood here all night?"

Hearing the sound, the man turned around, looked at the sleepy Qi Feng, and said, "Don't call me a general in the future, I am no longer your general."

"In Qi Feng's heart, the general will always be my general. Wherever the general goes, I, Qi Feng, will follow wherever he goes."

Qi Yue looked at him and sighed, "How many years have you been with me?"

"I have been with the general since I was 16 years old, about eight or nine years." Qi Feng replied. , has been depressed and preoccupied. "General, are you worried about Mr. Ji?"

Nod your head and say nothing.The holy will is hard to fathom. Now that he has handed over the military power in his hands, he is like the meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered, without the power to resist. He only wants the emperor to promise him, and the rest is fine. .

"General, there is a gentleman surnamed Ji outside the mansion asking to see him!" At this moment, the guard outside the door suddenly came in to report.

Mr. Ji?The two looked at each other, and were immediately overjoyed, "Please!"

When Fang stepped into the General's Mansion, he saw a person standing in the courtyard, staring at him obsessively. After a long time, it seemed as if he had been separated for many years. His eyes were like torches, and he vowed to see him all over.

"General?" he called softly.

"Qinghe!" The man responded, and suddenly pulled him into his arms, hugged him tightly, and buried his face between his necks. His slightly trembling body made him stunned for a moment, and his raised hands were He stayed in the air for a while, and finally hugged him gently, and said softly: "I am here."

He never thought that this person could do this for him and give up everything. He owed him too much, and maybe he could not repay it in this life.

"Qi Yue, now, I have something very serious to tell you." Ji Qinghe gently pushed Qi Yue away, putting some distance between the two of them.

"Okay, I'll listen." Seeing that his expression was heavy, Qi Yue was not joking, so he became serious.

"The capital is not safe, you have to leave quickly, the sooner the better, I know the emperor, even if you hand over the military power, he will not let you go easily." Ji Qinghe looked at Qi Yue, worried, and left too late last night Without going to the palace gate, he hurried over just after dawn this morning.

"I know that outside the general's mansion, there are already the emperor's secret guards following him." This really fits He Lancheng's character!

"Since you know everything, why do you still stay in the general's mansion with a face of nothing? Are you going to die?"

"Wait for you!"

Dazed, Ji Qinghe didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment, this man knew the danger, but still foolishly stayed here waiting for him, what if he couldn't wait for him?

Qi Yue didn't worry much about his own safety, but it was the person in front of him who worried him the most, "If I leave, what will you do? If you want to leave, then you will leave with me. You promised me in the past , When there is no more war, I will disarm and return to the fields to accompany you in farming and picking mulberries. Now that I have done it, Qinghe must not break his promise. I will only recognize you in this life."

"Are all members of your Qi family as stubborn as you?" Ji Qinghe was very helpless towards this person in front of him, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was so warm.

"Maybe, it's something you've decided, and you can't change it." Qi Yue bent his mouth, stretched out his hand, and straightened the messy hair on his forehead, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with me here, nothing will happen. .”

"Okay!" Ji Qinghe responded, knowing that Qi Yue was already prepared to deal with it, and he felt much more at ease, but he was too clear about that person's methods.

In the capital city, there were many people, and He Lancheng would definitely not attack them in the city, but once he left the city, he would definitely face a fierce battle.As soon as the fourth watch of the second day arrived, they disguised themselves as soldiers and went out of the city in two ways at the same time. Qi Yue set off from the main gate to distract most of the hidden guards, Qi Feng followed Ji Qinghe from the back door, and the righteous men ten miles outside the city Zhuang, Qi Yue arranged for someone to meet him there.

"General, let Qi Feng go with you all the way. It's safer for more people. Since the emperor has promised to let me go, he will definitely not make things difficult for me." Ji Qinghe was a little worried.

Qi Yue stared at him with a firm attitude, "No, I don't worry, don't worry about me, it's fine."

Knowing that this man would refuse to say anything, Ji Qinghe could only shake his head helplessly, "In this case, you must be careful. The emperor's shadow guards have a group of hounds, with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and can track people's scents. Some of them I have prepared a few sachets with herbs, and each wears one, hoping to interfere with the hound's sense of smell and avoid tracking."

Nodding in agreement, Qi Feng went down to make arrangements, leaving only Ji Qinghe and Qi Yue.I saw Qi Yue took out an exquisite dagger, handed it to him, and said: "Qinghe, I'm not here, you should take this for self-defense, your safety is the most important thing in everything, you must be well."

Ji Qinghe weighed the dagger in his hand, it was a little heavy, there was a small word "Qi" engraved on the scabbard of the dagger, this is the weapon that Qi Yue carried with him all the year round, "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying a word, everything was said in silence, the gaze that was watching contained too much.The world is impermanent, and no one can predict what the sun will be like tomorrow. I just hope that the people around me are safe.

On the second day, when the sky was still gray, a carriage quietly parked at the side door of the General's Mansion, and the sound of someone talking was vaguely heard.

"Is it time?"

"Just after the fourth watch, the general has already set off, let's go too."

"Qi Feng, the dagger given to me by the general fell into the room, can you get it for me?"

"Ok sir."

In the hazy night, Ji Qinghe looked at the people walking away, very quiet, no one knew what he was thinking.Turning around, he got into the carriage neatly. Under the black cloak, he looked like a suit of silver-white armor. With a little modification, it was very similar to Qi Yue's previous attire, except that his figure looked thinner.

"Let's go!"

After the words fell, the accompanying soldiers drove the carriage and headed towards the west of the city at full speed.

When Qi Feng, who searched around the house but found nothing, came out, he found that the people and the car had disappeared outside the door, and there was still a sachet prepared by Ji Qinghe yesterday on the ground.As if he suddenly understood something, he hurriedly opened the letter paper he saw on the table just now, his expression changed drastically, he ran towards the stable, led the horse, and chased Ji Qinghe's carriage all the way.

According to the original plan, Qi Yue led people from the main gate of the general's mansion to the east gate.They walked through the side gate, went to the north gate, left the city, and met at Yizhuang ten miles away.However, Ji Qinghe didn't act according to the plan. He knew He Lansheng's suspicious character very well, so why didn't He Lansheng understand him, if he walked out from the main gate of the general's mansion blatantly, the number of pursuers would be the least.

However, in this way, he led all the hidden guards to him.Throwing away the sachet, and wearing Qi Yue's clothes again, he could vaguely hear the barking of the hound from a long distance away.From the very beginning, he had planned this way. He knew that He Lansheng would not let Qi Yue go easily. The only thing he could do was to ensure Qi Yue's safety. Ashamed.

After leaving the city, he dismissed the accompanying soldiers, abandoned the car, and rode alone towards the forest outside the city.Behind him, He Lancheng's shadow guards were chasing after him. At this moment, it was a death talisman that made him dare not relax at all.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the eastern sky is full of belly. Soon, the sun will dispel the darkness and illuminate the whole earth.All the way the hounds barked wildly, and the war horse neighed, startling the old bird in the forest, and flew into the sky.

Suddenly, a strong wind hit, and a sharp arrow pierced through his left shoulder in an instant. The severe pain made him dizzy, and he almost missed and fell off the horse.

"Don't let him run away, chase!"

At the end of the road in the mountain forest was a cliff, and since he made that decision, he never had the idea of ​​surviving.It's just that now I understand that that high-ranking person is so authoritarian, cruel and heartless, and after staying silently by his side for so many years, he still can't compare to that alluring power!If there is a chance to do it all over again, he will never, never meet him again!

"Stop, there is a cliff ahead, you have nowhere to escape."

Ji Qinghe reined in his horse, but before moving forward, there was an abyss under his feet, and the whistling of the wind made people tremble with fear.Dismounted, lost the rein, and the horse, which had been running for most of the night, lay on the ground exhausted and gasping for breath.

Turning around, looking at the shadow guard not far away, her thin lips parted slightly, "Master Lin, long time no see!"

The wind from the cliff lifted the black cloak and it fluttered, like a kite that would fall and fly away at any moment.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji? How could it be you?" The leader, Lin Yun, was the leader of He Lansheng's shadow guards. When he found out that he was the one chasing him all the way, he was shocked, "I've been fooled, everyone obeys orders, immediately Back to the city!"

"It's late! By the time you return to the city, people have already fled away."

Lin Yun glanced at him angrily, and shouted, "If that's the case, then I'll offend you. Come, arrest him!"

"Yes!" After saying that, seven or eight shadow guards moved closer to him.

"Wait, if I take another step forward, I'll jump off this cliff!" Ji Qinghe said, taking a few steps back to the edge of the cliff.

"Mr. Ji, don't threaten me. I'm just following orders." Lin Yun stopped the shadow guard in time and looked into Ji Qinghe's eyes, a little embarrassed.

"Go back and tell He Lancheng that the Qi family army has been loyal to the army for generations, and has made great contributions to Da Yang. Now that the military power has returned to him, there is no need to worry about it. dissatisfaction. If it is only because of me, then please rest assured that from now on, there will be no more, and the relationship between me and him is settled. "

Every word, every accent, so decisive, there is no trace of nostalgia between the words.Seeing the man in Yaqian, he suddenly turned around and was about to jump off, when suddenly Qi Yue's heart-piercing shout came from behind him, "No, Qinghe!"

Ji Qinghe was shocked, he couldn't believe his ears, turned around, and saw a man riding a horse galloping towards him on the mountain road, his whole body was covered in blood, he looked in a panic, his red eyes stared at him, extremely anxious .

"Qinghe, don't jump, I beg you! Don't!" Before he could stop his horse, Qi Yue jumped off and rolled on the ground several times before he managed to stabilize, but the shadow guard in front of him, holding a knife, quickly jumped. surrounded.

"What are you doing back? Go! Go!" Ji Qinghe was suddenly in a state of confusion, and kept shouting at Qi Yue. Perhaps he was too emotional, and blood gushed out from the left shoulder pierced by the sharp arrow, staining Qi Yue. The white underwear was red, and he fell to his knees on the ground due to exhaustion.

"If there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you throw yourself! I didn't expect you to come back to die!" Lin Yun pulled out the sword in his hand and pointed it at Qi Yue.

"Really? It's not certain who will live and who will die!" Qi Yue stood up, straightened his back proudly, clenched the sword in his hand, and glanced at the shadow guard's eyes, as cold as ice, full of murderous aura!If he hadn't been feeling uneasy all the time, if Qi Feng hadn't reported to him in time, the person he loved would have almost disappeared forever before his eyes!Thinking of this, his heart felt like Ling Chi's, it hurt like a door, it was unspeakably miserable!Fortunately, we finally caught up!

"Shoot to kill! Kill!"

With an order, more than 20 shadow guards rushed up like hungry wolves rushing for food, and there was a bloody storm and mourning everywhere.Those were the shadow guards next to He Lancheng, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. Even though Qi Yue had three heads and six arms, it would be extremely difficult to get out of the crowd with one man, and the hope of escape was so slim!

"Qi Yue, go, go!"

"Leave me alone, you will die, please, go!"

At some point, tears blurred his eyes, the originally slender ten fingers dug out bloodstains from the soil in front of him without knowing it, just stared at that person stiffly, he was slashed, knocked down, and then After struggling to get up, the originally plain clothes were already stained with blood, dripping on the soil, how dazzling.At this moment, he hated He Lancheng to the core, and hated himself even more!

"Pfft!" He was so anxious that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Qinghe!" Qi Yue, who was distracted, was suddenly cut off his right arm by a sword, and fell to the ground, his face was distorted in pain, blood was all over his face, messy, but he looked straight at Ji Qinghe's direction, and took a step Crawling towards him one step at a time, behind him was a bright red bloodstain.

"Qinghe...Qinghe..." Qi Yue stretched out his remaining hand, trying hard to catch the man in his eyes.

Ji Qinghe wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up from the ground, looked at Lin Yun, his eyes were deathly silent: "Isn't it just death, don't trouble you to do it!"

With difficulty, he raised Qi Yue who was on the ground, moved to the edge of the cliff, looked back at the shadow guard who was staring at him fiercely, and said fiercely: "He Lancheng, I curse him that he has no love in his life and will always live in pain. Die alone!"

After saying that, Ji Qinghe looked at the person in front of him and smiled slightly, but the smile was extremely desolate.She reached out, hugged the man in front of her tightly, put her face on the man's neck, and sighed: "I regret it, I regret that I didn't know you earlier."

"I don't regret it, never will!" The man hugged the person in front of him tightly, slowly closed his eyes, and without nostalgia, he jumped down the abyss with a leap of his life!

At this moment, the blood-like morning sun jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds instantly, and the golden light illuminated the entire cliff!
