Moon Maze Ferry

The carriage bumped violently, Ye Huiyi was leaning against the window with a pale face, Lu Zhanting saw cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and quickly grabbed her wrist, only feeling that her pulse was weak and scattered.He couldn't help sticking his head out of the car, shouting, "Stop, stop!"

The groom groaned and reined in the horse's head, Yiren, Ye Huiming and Ye Huilan rushed over and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Lu Zhanting jumped out of the car, and calmly said: "My lady's pulse is weak, she urgently needs rest, such a bumpy ride, I'm afraid it may cause miscarriage."

Ye Huiming said anxiously: "It's really a leaky house and it rains overnight, what should I do, those Ksitigarbha soldiers can't stop Yiyu's [-] horses for a long time."

"I've already given the empress a few needles. As long as the car doesn't bump like this, I believe the empress can still support her to the station. You guys go, don't take me with you. I... am already very grateful to you." Lu Zhanting said slightly He said hoarsely, but his facial expression was very calm, and he said goodbye to everyone with a faint smile.

Ye Huiyi's heart moved slightly, she smiled and said: "Don't be stupid, you stay with us, maybe Yiyu will be a little bit tricky, if he captures you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yiren, saying: "Stop being polite.

Yiyu and the others rode war horses bred in the Aljimu Grassland, and we rode horses raised in the south of the Yangtze River for ceremonial guards. Even if we galloped like this, they would still be able to catch up to us within three sticks of incense.But to pass through this canyon, we still need at least four or five sticks of incense. "

"What should we do?" Ye Huiming rubbed his hands and asked, "Why don't we send some people to stop it?"

"No need." Yiren said lightly: "After the last time, Yiyu and the others must have a way to deal with the Ksitigarbha soldiers."

He looked around and said: "How about this, let the large army continue to move forward, we will hide around, wait for Yiyu's army to pass by, and then we will find a way to bypass Longya Bay."

"It's too dangerous!" Ye Huiming exclaimed.

"Do you have a better way than this?" Yiren turned his head and shouted at the cavalry: "Continue to ride the horse and rush to the station."

The black armored cavalry was extremely well-trained, and as soon as Yiren gave the command, he immediately galloped on his horse and disappeared in front of him.

Ye Huilan and Lu Zhanting supported Ye Huiyi, Ye Huiming and Yiren followed behind, and the five retreated to the hinterland of the canyon.

Yiyu, just as Yiren expected, caught up with Yiren's black-armored cavalry guards in less than three sticks of incense. Ten thousand cavalry were against less than three hundred cavalry, and within a puff of smoke, they were caught. Wiped out cleanly.Although the three hundred cavalry were small in number, they were extremely tenacious, after a fierce battle, none were captured alive.

"Your Majesty, I didn't see King Fulu and the others, shall we continue to chase?" the leading general asked in a low voice.

Yiyu scanned the bodies on the ground and asked, "Have you ever seen a carriage?"

"Back to the emperor, I have never seen it before."

Yiyu sneered, and said, "Princess Fulu is said to be pregnant with Liujia. There is no way for her to ride a horse. She must be in a carriage. With the speed of a carriage, it is absolutely impossible for it to be faster than a single horse."

He said thoughtfully: "These black armored cavalry don't look like they are used to block people. Yiren is very cunning, don't fall for his tricks." He waved his hand and said, "Send me a team of troops. Go back and search all the way."

Yiren closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said: "Huiming, your lieutenant should have arrived at the camp of the defense station by now, how long will it take for them to arrive near Longya Bay?"

Ye Huiming smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid it will take a day for them to come here, and they won't arrive until dark, we can't count on them."

Yiren let out a long breath, and said: "Then we have to find a hiding place, and Yiyu will search the mountain soon."

"Report!" A spy got off his horse, knelt in front of Yiyu's horse and said, "Your Majesty, we found an overturned carriage in a ditch at the valley."

Yiyu's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy, "Go back and search the mountain, search every corner, and find them for me!"

Ye Huilan supported Ye Huiyi, and saw that Lu Zhanting, who was applying needles, was dripping with sweat, and asked anxiously, "Ugly, is my sister in the way?"

Lu Zhanting didn't answer, he patted Ye Huiyi lightly, and asked with a smile: "I've heard for a long time that the ten princesses guess riddles like nothing else in the world, today I have a riddle, please ask the princess to guess it.

It is said that during the Warring States period, Wu Zixu, who was talented in both civil and military affairs, had just finished lifting a thousand-jin tripod in front of the palace when he first went to court, and the monarch issued an order.

At this time, the Prime Minister gave him an anagram: There are big fish in the East China Sea, without head or tail, and they lost their backbones, so they went to the end.The princess helped Wu Zixu guess the answer to the riddle? "

Ye Huiyi flicked her eyelids slightly, opened her eyes, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Why does Wu Zixu need others to solve the problem, how about Zhanting help the Prime Minister guess his answer: out of the East China Sea, into the West Mountain, write the time, draw time circle."

As soon as she finished speaking, both of them laughed at the same time, Ye Huilan was confused and said, "What are you two talking dumb?"

Ye Huiyi turned her head to look at her little sister, and said, "Zhanting asked me to guess a sun character for the sun rising in the east, and I also gave him a sun character for the rising sun in the east."

She turned her head and sighed: "Zhan Ting is not very good at comforting people. Who is not good at giving examples, but I just gave an example of Wu Zixu. It reminds me of a riddle in an idle book. Can you guess Zhan Ting?" There are eyes but no pearls and the belly is empty, the lotus leaves the water and meets each other, the sycamore leaves fall and part, the loving couple never arrives in winter.”

Lu Zhanting's heart skipped a beat, he didn't understand why Ye Huiyi was suddenly sad, he originally wanted to mention Ye Huiyi's spirit.Just about to think of a joke to divert away.

Ye Huiyi smiled again and said, "Look at me, the boss is not young, and he still has to say some depressing words. With Lu Zhanting, the number one genius doctor in the world, how can I be like the wind blowing the lamp out?"

They were talking, Yiren and Ye Huiming walked back.

"What's new for the world's number one genius doctor?" Yiren smiled.

"We're guessing riddles!" Ye Huiyi smiled softly.

"Presumably Zhanting's riddle guessing is also the number one." Yiren looked at Lu Zhanting and smiled.

"My lord is joking." Seeing Ye Huiyi looking at him with a half-smile, Lu Zhanting felt a little embarrassed.He turned to Ye Huiming and asked, "Have you found a hiding place?"

Ye Huiming thrust the sword into the ground and said, "My lord and I found a cave not far away. The entrance of the cave is small and there are vines around the outside, but the cave inside is not small enough for the five of us to hide in." Yiyu It is not easy to find such a place in this canyon.”

"That's great!" Lu Zhanting said happily, "Let's go there now."

Ye Huiming smiled wryly and said: "There is one bad thing about this, if Yiyu finds the entrance of the cave, the five of us will be like those five big turtles, none of them will be able to escape."

Yiren said lightly: "Wealth is in the sky, life and death are up to you, worry too much, it will only cause worry, let's go." He picked up Ye Huiyi and took the lead to leave.

Ye Huiming sighed, picked up his sword and followed along with Lu Zhanting and Ye Huilan.

The east and west mountains of Panlong both have steep slopes at right angles, but the steepest parts of the two mountains stand opposite each other, which is why the Shaan Valley of Longya Bay is formed.Due to the steepness of these two cliffs, there is almost no place to stand, so this narrow valley is uninhabited and only used by passers-by to cross the valley.

The cave was at the foot of the mountain, and five people crawled into the cave one by one. Ye Huiming came at the last hour, and he slightly covered up the entrance of the cave. , coupled with the cover of vines, to appear weak.

The five people sat next to each other in the cave, and after a while, Yiren smiled and said, "Everyone, don't hold back, just say something, chatting is fine too!"

Although Yiren has always been gentle and polite, he is a prince after all, and for a while, others couldn't think of anything to say to him.Yiren laughed again: "Zhanting, do you still remember that you came to my painting fair?"

In the dark, Lu Zhanting hummed, and then said: "Remember, didn't the lord invite me alone?"

"No..." Yiren smiled and said, "You are the only one here. I have loved painting since I was a child, and what I exhibited that day is what I think is the best. I am looking forward to others' appreciation."

Hei who couldn't see his fingers, Lu Zhanting suddenly found that Yiren's voice was very pleasant and very magnetic, even if he spoke in a low voice, there was an indescribable fascination, as if an invisible hand was pulling you closer to him.

"Zhanting, do you still remember the evaluation you gave me?"

Lu Zhanting hummed again, this time he was definitely not ambiguous, he knew that he would never give any good comments.Others were curious and kept asking false questions.

Yiren smiled and added: "Zhanting said that I could be a talented person, but it's a pity that I became a prince first." Everyone laughed for a while.

Ye Huilan snorted, and said, "I guess he won't say anything good, this person is just so annoying." Her voice was harsh and heavy at the beginning, but it was almost inaudible at the end.

Yiren didn't seem to hear their laughter, and continued: "When Zhanting left, I was still thinking about this sentence."

"Looking back at those paintings of mine, I suddenly realized that those things were really ridiculous, full of self-pity and self-pity. I originally wanted to be a powerful prince, but I didn't get what I wanted, so I was forced to want to be a genius."

Lu Zhanting felt guilty for a while, he had never been unruly, but now he deeply regretted that sentence he said back then.He murmured, "I...I..."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Ren interrupted him with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Zhan Ting, you let me understand what I think..." His tone was light, very gentle, but subtle but mixed With a kind of domineering that ordinary people can hardly detect, he said with a smile: "I will let Zhanting judge my grades in the future!"

Ye Huiming suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, listen!"

Everyone quickly held their breath, the sound of horseshoes came in the wind, and the voices gradually became noisy.No one spoke in the cave anymore, only the sound of each other's breathing.

After a while, there was another sound in the wind, which almost made everyone in the cave pale.

"Dog, it's a dog!" Lu Zhanting regretted, "How did I forget? I should have thought of it. If I had known this before, I should have brought some Patella on me."

Even though Ye Huiming has fought in the battlefield for many years, he has never felt so panic like this moment. When he was at a loss, Yiren asked calmly, "How long will it take for your team to get here?"

"At least an hour!" Ye Huiming rubbed his hands and sighed, "But the cavalry will arrive here first in half an hour."

Ye Huilan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!"

Ye Huiming smiled bitterly and said: "My troops are mainly infantry, and there are very few cavalry. Otherwise, how can the cavalry change defenses in this non-horse source? They add up to only a thousand people. If they retreat to the prince, he will Although there are only [-] to [-] troops there, there are defensive areas to defend, or they can still fight against Yiyu's strong cavalry."

"There are few people, so it may not be impossible to win against Yiyu." Yiren said plainly.

While they were talking, the sound of the dog was getting closer and closer, and Ye Huiming didn't even have the mood to refute.Lu Zhanting bit his lower lip tightly. He heard those rustling footsteps and could almost see Yiyu's cold face getting closer.He leaned against the rough mountain wall, not even daring to breathe.

Gradually, it seemed that the sound of people disappeared, but the crazy dog ​​barking made everyone in the oil understand that those people were not going away, but were getting closer.

Lu Zhanting suddenly felt that someone was holding his shoulders, and he heard Yiren say, "Is it because I don't like hearing dogs barking? Actually, I don't like it either."

Lu Zhanting felt that hand grabbed his wrist, and the needle bag tied to his wrist was taken off.Then, I saw a few silver lights shooting out of the cave, and the dogs immediately whimpered and barked a few times, then there was no more barking, but people shouted loudly, "They are right here, right here."

Although the needle bag was taken away, Lu Zhanting's wrist was still held by Yi Ren.Since childhood, Lu Zhanting didn't like to accept anyone except Su Ziqing, but being held by Yiren's warm hand, he didn't feel the usual resentment.

"Zhan Ting, among us, only you have a chance of surviving in front of Yi Yu. If you go out now, it's the right time, lest they attack you and accidentally injure you."

Lu Zhanting's heart felt hot.He choked up and said, "Who do you think I am? You have been implicated by me...how could I?"

"Listen..." Yiren said flatly: "What I did today has nothing to do with you. Yiyu and I will fight sooner or later. He is just looking for an excuse, and you just happen to be this excuse."

"Lu Zhanting, I think sometimes, you should listen to other people's opinions."

Yiyu's cold voice came from outside the cave, and he said: "You will never learn what to do and what not to help. Sometimes you might as well listen to the opinions of wise people, so that you can live a long time Some."

Hearing Yiyu's voice suddenly, Lu Zhanting trembled involuntarily, and Yiren gently stroked the back of his hand as if to comfort him.

After a long time, Lu Zhanting suddenly laughed heartily and said loudly, "Yi Ren, do you still remember a question you asked me at your painting fair 17 years ago?"

"Huh?" Yiren seemed taken aback.

"You asked me if I could be your friend, and I said let me think about it." Lu Zhanting said with a smile, "Now, I have thought about it, and I am willing to be your friend." He turned his head to face the purpose in the dark Yiren's face smiled and said, "True friends can live and die together, right?"

"Zhan... Zhanting...?" Yiren seemed a little excited, he was breathing heavily beside Lu Zhanting.

Yiyu's handsome face twitched, and the light in his eyes suddenly brightened, intertwined there for a moment, could not tell it was sadness, resentment, jealousy and madness, he held the sword hard, the joints were bluish white, he Loudly said: "Come on!" Pointing at the entrance of the cave, he said coldly: "Set fire to me, and I will fulfill you!"

The general next to him swallowed his saliva and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't think about it any longer?"

The corners of Yiyu's mouth suddenly curled up, showing a stiff smile, and said in a creepy voice: "Our Yijia ancestors had a family motto that if you can't get it, you must destroy it, so as not to miss it." .”

The rockets shot into the cave accurately like spirit snakes, scratching the walls of the cave brightly, and the walls covered with moss and mud shone like water under the firelight.

"Stand back!"

Yiren used his sword to shoot arrows and shouted, except Ye Huiming stepped forward to shoot rockets with him, the rest of the people moved to the deepest part of the cave.

There were more and more rockets, and the rockets that were taken by Yi Renge were accurately inserted on the left and right walls, and the lights in the cave were brightly lit.

The smell of burning moss permeated the small cave, and Lu Zhanting and the others covered their mouth and nose with their sleeves, still feeling choking.

An arrow dragged the *light straight to Lu Zhanting.Yi Ren shouted to be careful, he turned over and pushed Lu Zhanting to the ground, the arrow sank deeply into the moss and mud on Lu Zhanting's back wall.

Lu Zhanting only felt dizzy for a while, he saw Yiren lying on top of him, their mouths and noses were facing each other, and there seemed to be a rocket jumping fire in Yiren's eyes.

Lu Zhanting panicked for a while, just wanted to say thank you, and wanted to prop up his body, but found that his left hand was empty.

He touched it and found that the piece of moss and mud on the left side of his side had collapsed. He turned sideways hurriedly and saw a small hole at the bottom of the cave wall with the help of the light. Yiren pulled out the rocket and took a look. He had seen the hole. The bottom appears to be another cave.

Yiren hit the four walls of the cave with his sword, and the sand fell off, revealing a small cave, but big enough for a person to pass through.Yiren whispered: "I'll go down first!" He said and jumped down.

When Lu Zhanting saw him jumping down involuntarily, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He looked down and saw that he had reached the ground safely, and he seemed to be safe and sound.Yiren gestured to him and said, "Jump down one by one."

Lu Zhanting turned around and Ye Huilan helped Ye Huiyi pass through the hole, and then jumped down one by one, Yiren caught them below, and finally Ye Huiming grabbed a handful of rockets, jumped back, and flew into the hole.

Using light, the hole seems to be much larger than the small hole above, stretching endlessly.

Yiren supported Ye Huiyi, and the five walked along the road.After walking for a long time, suddenly there was a noise of children, and the sand and stones on the cave wall were also shaken off one after another.

"What's going on?" Ye Huiming blurted out, covering the sand with his hand.

"My artillery has arrived." Yiren said lightly.

"gun?"

"Yes, two years ago, I bought a few cannons from Hongyi in the west. This kind of cannon is heavy and inconvenient to move because of its endless range. You don't think it is very useful. I bought a few for hunting. "Yi Ren said lightly.

But Ye Huiming's heart skipped a beat. If those statues were placed on the plain, even if they were to attack the city, they might not be very useful, but they are perfect in this narrow valley, and Yiyu must die.With the jumping light of the rocket in his hand, Ye Huiming couldn't believe it and glanced at Yiren, seeing that his expression was peaceful, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.

This Yiren, Ye Huiming realized for the first time that he didn't understand him at all.

The only time he had an impression of Yiren was when he participated in the draft at Ye's house, at the foot of Mount Taiping, by Ziwei Lake.At that time, the goal of the Ye family was not this grassroots prince at all, but the eleventh prince with a more prominent background.

For the four princes who were of marriageable age, the royal family specially held a grand talent show by Ziwei Lake. At that time, the tenth prince, mother and concubine had just passed away.Ye Huiming had some impressions of the concubine who always lowered her head and looked down, who was born as a submissive court lady.

Although it was said that the imperial concubine accidentally slipped and fell into the lake and drowned, everyone privately said that the sparrow that flew up the branch was finally overwhelmed and threw himself into the lake.

On that day, Yiren shot down the daisy in the corner of the flower bed with an arrow, and flew to catch the gentleman in the flower before he fell into the dust in an instant, and gave it to the most eye-catching beautiful girl Ye Huiyi with a smile.

At that time, he was dressed in white filial piety, and his eyes seemed to be slightly swollen, but he looked peerless among those princes in fancy clothes, unmatched and unforgettable.Many people said that it was Yiren who was speechless and as indifferent as a chrysanthemum. They chose Ye Huiyi. I am afraid that no one would know that it was actually Ye Huiyi who chose Yiren.

But after that, Yiren became blurred. He seldom appeared in lively places, lived a simple and reclusive life, and was gentle and humble in dealing with things.

In fact, that day when he met the cold and fierce eyes of the underage prince Yiyu, who was ranked seventeen, he was really covered in cold sweat. Willful, she insists on marrying Yiren.

But that's all something later, since Ye Huiyi became the tenth princess, he has been closely related to Yiren, and to a certain extent shares the same fate, no matter how frequently he has been in contact with Yiquan.

But how many people know the real Yiren?The booming sound of shelling seems to be logical, but there are coincidences everywhere.

"Brother, take care of the booth." Yiren suddenly turned around and said something, and Ye Huiming came back to his senses.

The cannon scale shook the people in the cave, and Lu Zhanting was the worst in martial arts, so he swayed more than the others, and almost hit the wall of the cave several times.

Ye Huiming walked over to support his shoulder, Ye Huilan turned her head, wanted to turn around, but was pushed by Ye Huiming, she had to turn around and continue stumbling forward.

They walked for an unknown amount of time, but the rocket light had already burned out, but there was a faint light ahead, and everyone was excited, and when they got out of the cave, Ye Huilan couldn't help cheering.

Lu Zhanting picked some herbs nearby, let Ye Huilan chew them up and feed them to Ye Huiyi.Not long after, Ye Huiyi also seemed to turn around, and there was some light in her eyes.Lu Zhanting suggested to let her take a good rest before going on the road.So everyone found a stream, washed the ashes off their faces, and recuperated on the spot.

Yiren sat next to Lu Zhanting and said with a smile, "Zhanting's medical skills are really the best in the world."

Lu Zhanting took out the grass root he was biting in his mouth, shook his head with a smile, and said, "How dare I be called the best in the world? Needless to say, even in the internal hospital, there are people whose medical skills are better than mine."

Yiren shook his head in disbelief, and said: "I don't believe it, don't you dare say that you are stronger than Mrs. Lu? Don't forget that you cured the Queen Dowager Huimin, Mrs. Lu is helpless against her."

Lu Zhanting was hearty and laughed. He made a grimace and said, "You don't know that the best medical skill in the Inner Hospital is actually a person who never passed the imperial examination. His name is Zong Bu Guo, and he is a golden man. "

"Emperor Dowager Huimin's illness was the first to be studied by this person. I once saw him dissecting a dead body for careful examination. That's why I was aware of it when I met Empress Dowager Huimin. It was also because of this that he was able to Ken offered me something to heal the Empress Dowager, just to let me prove his point of view.”

Yiren was amazed, and then smiled and said: "You have hurt him now, I heard that he was beaten with forty sticks and kicked out of the imperial hospital."

Lu Zhanting was taken aback, and then smiled wryly: "It seems that I am very unlucky, and anyone who meets me will have bad luck."

"Zhan Ting, since this Zong Bu Guo has superb medical skills, why is he always unable to pass the imperial examination?"

Lu Zhanting shook his head, lay back on the grass, and said, "His methods are too weird, and sometimes his desire to test his own ideas is far greater than his desire to heal patients. Healers are parents, but he lacks parental care." , so although his medical skills are superb, he cannot be a doctor.”

Yiren thought for a while, then turned to Lu Zhanting with a gentle smile, "The doctor has a parental heart, so Zhanting can be a genius doctor. If you fight against him, I also believe that he will not be your opponent. "

Lu Zhanting laughed out loud when he heard this. He turned his head halfway and said with a smile: "Doctors are not warriors. They only fight with martial arts. There is no one who fights with doctors. Doctors save lives and heal the wounded. The goal is the same, and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors." He said and slapped He yawned, tilted his head and fell asleep.

Yiren half propped up his body and looked down at that frank and unconcerned face, his expression was very gentle, but something more complicated was mixed in the depths of his eyes.

The crowd didn't leave until dawn, and after a short walk, they saw Yiren's black-armored cavalry patrolling the mountain.

Yiren turned over and stepped on the steed. The night's rest made him look refreshed. In the morning light, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he smiled calmly at the gathered soldiers and said, "From today onwards, you are no longer the ones who have been bullied by others." , Some soldiers of King Fulu who have been wronged, you will be the most trustworthy warriors of the Holy Dynasty, and you will witness... the glory of me and you!"

He raised his arms, and the soldiers responded loudly, including Ye Huiming's subordinates.Ye Huiming looked at those well-trained Black Four Cavalrymen who were still full of fighting spirit even after a fierce battle all night, and suddenly understood something.That is, in this battle against Yiyu, Yiren was well prepared.
