MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 103v4 you support me
On the plain at the end of autumn, there are galloping horses, their raised horse tails carry smoke and dust all over the sky, and afterimages sweep away in the grayish-yellow air.
Two horses, two knights, with ashes all over their faces, still beating the horses desperately, their lips are scorched and they dare not take a sip of water, and their eyes are blood red and dare not close them.
Because there is a killing **** behind him.
The killing **** started chasing them three days ago. Earlier, a dozen or so of them were chased by this killing god. They chased them from Puyang City to Juye, which was close to Mengcheng. The dozen or so people became five or six people. , and finally turned into the two of them, and the rest of the companions were killed one by one on the loess road by this murderous **** who pursued him endlessly, using arrows, knives, hidden weapons, and all possible means to sneak attack.
At first they didn't care because of the large number of people, but later they chose to take mountain roads, waterways, and separate walks, but no matter how hidden they were walking in the mountains, or how they modified themselves to hide in the crowd, they couldn't avoid being killed in various ways destiny.
Now there are only two people left, and it is not far from Mengcheng, the capital of Mongolia. Ten miles further on, is the camp of the Gaoshan Army of His Highness King Ping. If you get close to it, there may be hope of survival.
Even though they used to be His Royal Highness Li's trusted guards, they are capable people after all. After Li Wang's death, they would seek refuge with His Highness Ping Wang, and His Highness would definitely accept it with joy.
The two fleeing people immediately looked at each other bitterly.
They also don't know how to provoke this killer.
They are Li Wang's personal guards. King Li died inexplicably in the yamen of Puyang Mansion. Most of the guards who were recruited from the rivers and lakes dispersed at that time, especially some of the guards who participated in insulting Miss Zheng's family. In order to avoid revenge by the powerful Zheng family, they simply left After leaving Puyang, he went to live a life of freedom in the rivers and lakes again.
However, not long after leaving Puyang, the brothers were sewed on, and then began to be inexplicably broken.
The two men who were racing horses frantically looked behind from time to time. The smoke and dust covered their vision, and they could not see any figures, but this did not dispel the deep fear in their eyes.
…
Meng Hu is on the hillside one mile away at the moment, holding a special eagle eye made by Yuzhao Palace.
In the round tube of the eagle eye, the dust trails of the horses ahead can be seen.
He is the killer.
He has been chasing and killing those people.
As the chief commander of Yuzhao Palace, he brought back his trusted guards. After investigation, he quickly learned what happened in the government office that day and the reason why Miss Zheng Qi threw herself into the well.
After hearing about that incident, the man who rushed back to his hometown with all his heart to get married was silent for a long time. Afterwards, the first thing was to reject the Zheng family's request to withdraw their marriage, and the second thing was to take his own people out of the house, bring weapons and murderous intentions, and start revenge.
He wants to avenge Miss Zheng Qi.
He wants to wash away his shame with blood.
His fiancée, the lady in his boudoir whom he fell in love with at first sight, was lost in the hands of the dirty killers in front. How can I let it go?
Li Wang is dead, and those guards who participated in insulting Miss Zheng Qi are still there, fleeing.
Now, only the last two remain.
The guards around him carefully reminded, "Commander, the King Ping's barracks is not far ahead. If you kill someone here, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."
"Then kill them outside King Ping's camp." Meng Hu walked down the hillside and got on his horse.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he caught up with the two horses. This time, he didn't need to hide his tracks anymore. He brought his guards and surrounded them.
The two men had dusty faces and disheveled beards, and immediately gripped their weapons tightly, staring in horror at the slowly approaching Meng Hu.
Meng Hu stopped, before he was busy with the assassination and revenge, many details have not been clarified, now facing the last two survivors, he wants to ask about the whole incident.
Those two people suddenly dropped their weapons with a plop, hugged their heads and shouted, "Don't kill us! Don't kill us! We've surrendered! We've surrendered! Whatever you want to know, we'll talk about it!"
Meng Hu raised his chin slightly, motioning for the guards to go forward and tie up the two.
The guard stepped forward immediately, because the opponent had already dropped his weapon, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance, while Meng Hu turned his head to look at the dim sky ahead, wondering what the black shadow on the mountain range in front was.
Suddenly there was an angry shout, followed by another hiss, and a loud bang, Menghu suddenly turned his head, and saw his guard was knocked to the ground, and the two of them whipped their horses wildly again, and rushed out crazily.
"Shoot the arrow!" Meng Hu yelled angrily, he didn't want to ask any more questions, these people deserved to die!
The arrows whizzed away, they were all the powerful crossbows specially made by Yuzhao Palace, Meng Hu saw with his own eyes that the arrows pierced into the backs of the two people, and the blood blossomed in the yellow dust, like flowers blooming in the twilight.
However, the speed of the two people did not slow down, and they were still rushing forward desperately while lying on the horse. One of them was still laughing, and hissed: "It's worth it! It's worth it!"
I don't know what these words mean, and I don't understand when these people who only dared to run away had such courage, but now that these words are heard in Meng Hu's ears, they automatically think of what happened to Miss Zheng Qi. Anger surged up in his chest, he flattered his horse without hesitation, and shot it like an arrow.
He wants to use his own knife to stab the hearts of these **** one by one!
Someone shouted behind him, it was his guard, and the tone was faintly discouraging. However, at this moment, Meng Hu's reason was burned by anger, and he was unwilling to think.
It didn't take long for the Pegasus to gallop, and when they crossed a small hill, one of the two horses suddenly flew up, obviously covered in arrows like a hedgehog, but flew extremely fast and extremely high. And that posture also seemed very stiff.
It’s just that everything is unclear in the twilight at this moment, Meng Hu only has those two horses and two people in his eyes, and he doesn’t have time to observe anything, he only sees that person flying so fast, and he is about to leave his sight in a blink of an eye, so he has no time to think about it , raising his hand, the hand crossbow has been shot out.
"Hoo." With a sound, the hand crossbow pierced the back of the person flying straight ahead, and then went out through the heart, submerged in the darkness, and faintly heard a crisp "Duo" sound, followed by another "Crack", as if something broken.
Meng Hu put down his crossbow and reined in his horse, suddenly he felt something was wrong.
At this time, in the darkness opposite, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop! Before the barracks, don't use weapons rashly!"
This sound came suddenly, after he had already fired the hand crossbow, Meng Hu heard this sound, his heart thumped, and he immediately knew that he had been fooled.
Then someone shouted loudly: "Oh, it's not good! The enemy army is attacking! Destroy my Yuanmen!"
When Meng Hu heard this sentence, his black face sank completely, as cold as iron.
The horse's hooves slammed, his guards had already caught up and were about to protect him, Meng Hu suddenly said urgently: "Let's all go!"
"Commander!" The guard was still puzzled.
"I've stepped into a trap, don't fold it all here!" Meng Hu pushed the guard away, quickly took out a snow-white whistle from his arms, and handed it to the leader of his guard, "This is a small amount of tokens for mobilizing the spider web. Find them, ask them to act, find Her Majesty the Queen, and ask her to save me!"
"Hasn't the spider web been disbanded?" The guard was shocked.
Meng Hu shook his head, the spider webs and bee stingers have always been directly under the jurisdiction of Gong Yin. When Gong Yin went to the snow mountain, he mobilized almost all the spider webs and bee stingers, and quite a few of them stayed there. As for the spider webs and bee stings scattered around the world to spy on the news, when the national teacher and the queen were traveling in the wilderness, they always went wrong. For the sake of safety, they almost did not contact each other. Even after the queen became the throne, she seemed to have no intention of using it, but now it is urgent Right, I have no choice but to use it.
"Hurry up! Otherwise, it's disobedience!" Meng Hu slapped the guard's horse's **** with a whip, until the horse neighed and rushed down the hillside with smoke and dust, then turned around and looked at the other side with a gloomy face.
On the opposite side, the light was lit at some point, but the lantern was hanging on a high place, swaying slowly, the light yellow light was like a light moon, hazying a small area, so that the black armored army hidden in the darkness, Only the undulating vague outlines and the glimmering armor plates can be seen, like low black hills crouching in the darkness.
I don't know how long I waited.
In front of the army, there is a ridiculous "Yuanmen" with a few wooden frames that look like a door. A flag is hung on the "Yuanmen". After a gentle slope, you can't see it without turning around.
Behind these sparse things, there is a camp tent that has just been set up, and a person is wearing a full body, smiling and opening the tent.
All the decorations look like the decorations of the army barracks, but they are as simple as a child pretending to be a house, it looks like a child's play. But Meng Hu's pupils have already shrunk tightly, as if seeing the greatest danger in the world.
Because that's enough.
There is a gate, a hope tower, an army, a master tent, and even a master general. This is a complete military camp. According to the laws of Mongolia and even Emperor Song, it is a strict and inviolable army garrison, even if this **** garrison moves forward inexplicably After traveling for ten miles, only a simplified version was produced, but this has become a military camp. All those who are not allowed to enter the vicinity of the military camp without authorization will be expelled.
What's worse is that behind the "Yuanmen", a "flagpole" that was casually inserted on the ground has been broken in two, and the half hanging on the ground is still connected with a flag representing the general. It's blood. This is of course the blood of the guard Li Wang just now, and the flagpole was broken by Meng Hu's crossbow shot through Guard Li's chest and then into the "flagpole".
According to military laws and regulations, rushing to the gate, breaking the flagpole, and breaking the king's flag are regarded as the biggest challenge and insult to this army, and no matter what their status is, they are all enemies.
Meng Hu was familiar with the laws and regulations, he had already guessed the general idea when he heard the shout, he had no choice but to drive away the guards immediately, without guards he could still be said to have strayed in, with guards he was leading troops into the formation, the meaning was completely different.
Besides, since the other party set up this trap, it must have been planned for a long time, why bother to take so many lives.
Someone dragged away the body of the guard of Li Wang, and Meng Hu saw with his eyes that there was a rope around the neck of the body. He thought that this person was already dead when he was hunted down earlier. It was this group of people who put the rope around the neck of the body and pulled it He had to fly up and lead him to shoot an arrow, which broke the "Yuanmen flagpole".
At this time, it was useless to pursue the conspiracy, and he turned his gaze to the opposite side.
The man in full clothes stood in front of the "tent" with a smile, and said: "Commander Meng, long time no see, I heard that you are going to marry a beautiful wife, good things are coming soon. Why did you suddenly go crazy and break into my camp?"
Hearing the other party's conclusive conclusion of "breaking into the camp", Meng Hu sneered, squinted his eyes and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Gaoshan Army is brave and elite, and now it seems that its reputation is well-deserved. Why did I suddenly meet your barracks, which should be ten miles away?"
King Ping didn't seem to understand his sarcasm, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You are the commander-in-chief of Dige Yuzhao Palace, but you can't control the actions of my Mongolian king's army. Today you broke into the formation and destroyed the flag and killed my officer, but Dige is dissatisfied with my Mongolian royal family and wants to mess with my internal affairs?"
"Who is a rebellious official or a traitor, he knows in his own mind." Meng Hu replied indifferently.
King Ping smiled slightly and waved his hands. The two rows of archers in front of the black-armored soldiers, one row kneeling and the other standing, bowed their bows, set up their arrows, and the arrows converged at one point.
Meng Hu heard behind him at the same time, the sound of armor and weapons colliding endlessly, a large number of sergeants had formed a siege around him.
Thousands of troops trapped one person.
"Should we continue to rush into the camp, in the name of creating chaos, and bring evidence of rebellion and genocide to your Meng family; or should we just abandon the weapon and talk to you and me?" King Ping smiled confidently.
Menghu was silent.
He looked back at the sky, dark clouds covered the sun, but there was no glimmer of light.
The conspiracy is also approaching like dark clouds, and the seemingly peaceful Mongolia will eventually be involved in the undercurrent. And he, stepping into the trap with his first foot, was just the prelude.
After a while, there was a clang, and the weapon fell to the ground.
…
In the small courtyard of the Zhao family in the west of the city, Jing Hengbo was packing his luggage.
She decided to accompany Gong Yin back to the Long family ancestral cemetery to bury Nan Jin, and then decide on the next step. She used to like living a luxurious and luxurious life, but now she understands that there are countless variables and risks hidden in a luxurious and honorable life. She has had enough of such a life, and what she hopes most is to live in seclusion with Gong Yin, so she doesn't have to worry about this complicated thing anymore the wilderness.
Gong Yin was noncommittal about the suggestion of living in seclusion, and it could be seen that he was looking forward to it in his heart, but he did not fully agree because of her safety and problems after living in seclusion. Because even if you can leave the wilderness behind and give up the struggle for power, it does not mean that others will not regard her as an enemy because of this. Whether it is the hidden enemies or the lady in the snow mountain, they are all powerful people. With authority and backing, God knows how long the peaceful days can last.
Jing Hengbo was a little puzzled by this, isn't Gong Yin already healed? Even if the skills cannot be restored to the peak, but cooperating with her and people who are willing to follow her, self-protection should be more than enough, right? Why is there still a hidden worry between the brows?
She tried this many times, but she never got a clear answer. In desperation, she had no choice but to persevere. First, she and Gong Yin went to see the ancestral land of the Long family to see if the Long family was the original choice of cultivation method or where they lived. There is a problem somewhere.
I have stayed in the small courtyard for a few more days, because Dr. Sun is performing spells on Long Wei. Among the children of the Long family, Long Wei has the best aptitude and the least symptoms, so Dr. Sun chose him first. During the period, Dr. Sun invited Jing Hengbo to Mengcheng several times, but Jing Hengbo just laughed and said nothing. She didn't intend to talk to the old man. What does Mongolian domestic affairs have to do with her? As soon as Long Wei's situation improves, he will run away first. Does Lao Sun really think that she likes to be such a "royal terminator"?
After the luggage was packed, Jing Hengbo felt a little joy and anticipation in his heart. Recently, the children of the Long family have treated her with great respect. After all, seeing her work hard for the Long family and almost dying, some past knots have been untied. Long Zhai's complexion gradually improved because of Long Wei's treatment, but the young girl Chunshui, because she had a good relationship with Mingzhu, never treated her well, and often argued with Yongxue, Meng Potian and others who came later, but Jing Hengbo Already very satisfied, the Long family is Gong Yin's relatives, maybe they will live together in the future, she always hopes to be accepted.
After packing her luggage, she turned her head to look at the box on the table. It was made of sapphire without any pattern, and it was as simple and pure as the person sleeping in it. It was Nan Jin's urn.
Jing Hengbo walked over slowly, stroking the smooth jade, as if the woman holding a bowl to bathe in the wind was in front of her eyes, the wind blew her long hair up and gently brushed her face, cool and fragrant, Jing Hengbo felt a little He said in a daze: "Mingzhu, tell me, what happened that day? What method did you use to teach him the skills, and why did you die like that... I can't get this answer in this life..."
Suddenly her palms became cold, she shivered suddenly, quickly withdrew her hand, stared blankly at the urn, and said in a low voice: "Mingzhu, what are you going to tell me?"
The urn was silent, and the figure of the woman holding a bowl to bathe in the wind gradually faded away.
Jing Hengbo supported the table, thinking in a daze, it doesn't matter if he won't get the answer for the rest of his life, I'm afraid that the day when he gets the answer will be too late...
She shivered again, and suddenly came over with thumping steps, dispelling the evil spirit in the room at this moment, Chunshui strode in, wrapped Mingzhu's urn with a piece of furoshiki, and left. Did not look at her.
Jing Hengbo was not angry, but rather relieved, thanks to her sudden interruption, she still feels chilly all over.
After going out the door, a cloak was wrapped around her head. She tightened the cloak, raised her head, smiled, and met Gong Yin's calm but gentle eyes.
"Cold?" He stared at her pale face.
Jing Hengbo shook his head, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be caught by that old man Sun..." He sneaked out and looked outside the door.
Dr. Sun ran several times a day recently, staring at her and asked her to go to Mengcheng. Jing Hengbo lied and said that he would take a day off, and Minger would follow him, so he persuaded the old guy to go back, planning to sneak away while no one was looking.
The west of the city has been quite chaotic recently. The third master Hei and his guests had their keys stolen by Jing Hengbo last time. It is said that they have been trapped in the well for a long time. Much less.
A group of people went out, saw that there was no one at the entrance of the alley, and ran out quickly.
Suddenly someone approached, panting, with chaotic steps, shouting from afar, "Don't go, don't go—" It was Dr. Sun's voice.
"Too bad it was discovered." Jing Hengbo tugged at Gong Yin's sleeve and said with a smile, "Run, run."
Gong Yin really followed her for a few steps, and Jing Hengbo smiled more and his eyes flowed - she has teleportation, so she doesn't need to run like this, and Gong Yin doesn't need to run like this, but she likes this and does it on purpose. She wants to see Gong Yin who moves freely, wants to see Gong Yin who is gradually letting go, and wants to be the most ordinary and ordinary couple or even husband and wife with him, away from human turmoil and political disputes. And now it's warming up, warming up those ordinary and beautiful lives in the future, those pure lives that don't have to face conspiracy and strife, she is sincerely happy at the thought of living the simplest life, so that even the long-lost childlike innocence They all seem to diverge suddenly, want to play, want to make trouble, want to rush into the field, want to make a joke with the whole world.
They were running in front, and Dr. Sun was panting and chasing after him. Yeluqi and the others naturally didn't run away. Seeing the two holding hands and running away like children, Pei Shu snorted coldly, but Yeluqi smiled faintly.
In this world, anyone can make her smile, but there is only one person who can make her live the simplest and most beautiful life.
Just because of such simplicity and beauty, he is also full of expectations for the future life, and he is willing to forget those plots, those potential enemies, and the cold and vicious suzerain wife. Why bother so much, enjoy the fireworks first.
Already out of the west of the city, the Heishan Sijun on the street disappeared at some point, Dr. Sun's shouts gradually disappeared, and Jing Hengbo was tired of running pretendingly, so he plunged into Gong Yin's arms and hugged him tightly. waist.
There were people behind her, Gong Yin felt a little uncomfortable, but still hugged her.
"Gong Yin..." Jing Hengbo rubbed his head back and forth in his arms, looking for the most comfortable position, and murmured, "I have already tricked Lao Sun into getting the customs clearance guide from the Mongolian country, and I have left the Mongolian country. , I went to your hometown and found a place where there are no rocky mountains, no snow, and no swamps. Let’s build a fairy-tale cabin there, shall we? The walls are made of green bamboo, with a green roof, and the yard is paved with pebbles for exercise. , the cleanest mountain spring water is drawn into the pond, and the rest grow vegetables on the side of the mountain. Raise a group of deer and rabbits, raise a pond of fish, build a room full of new furniture, I teach you to sleep in hammocks and rocking chairs, after so many years The hard life of the national teacher and the queen, now we will be a rich man who eats, eats and sleeps, and the standard of living is guaranteed not to be lowered for you. I have enough for the rest of my life to support you..."
Gong Yin above his head seemed to be laughing lightly, and said with a hum: "Okay, you support me."
Jing Hengbo really didn't expect him to answer like this. While thinking that the great master has really changed gradually, he raised his head and said with a half-smile: "Since I raise you, why are you with me..."
Before the word "surname" could be uttered, she suddenly noticed that Gong Yin's eyes were strange, and he looked over her head at the base of the wall next to her.
Jing Hengbo's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the bottom of the wall, where there was a string of familiar symbols, which she knew.
When she finally deciphered the meaning of this line, her face turned pale.
