19

It's still the peach blossom forest.

The warm wind blows, and the petals are flying all over the sky.

The bell rings in the ear, and the wooden fish beckons.

Pei Wende stepped forward, but there was no one there.

"Azhao?" He opened his mouth softly, calling out tentatively.

There was no response.

In an instant, a cool breeze pierced through the ears.Pei Wende woke up suddenly, the embroidered spring knife in his hand was worthy.The silver light of the sword shadow brushed past his ears.He rolled over and jumped out of the way.

"Brother Pei!"

Pei Wende turned around, Zhu Houcong held a bow and saber, and pulled him out of the house.

"What's wrong!" Pei Wende paused, and saw that the yard was full of people at some point.

In the dark night, dark clouds blocked the moonlight tightly.

There were densely packed archers on the roof, and behind the torches, Princess Xing Jiang and Xiao Zai were held hostage with a knife on their necks.

"Okay." Pei Wende grabbed Zhu Houcong: "Don't go forward..."

"Mother!" Zhu Houcong was shocked. "Let go of my mother!"

"Xiao'er, let's go!" Xing Wang's concubine's eyes were serious: "Don't worry about mother, let's go!"

Behind them, there was clapping.

A person walked out of the darkness slowly.

"The concubine and the little prince are deeply in love with each other, just like what is written in those playbooks."

Pei Wende's knife trembled violently.

"It's you……"

"it's me."

Channing was still smiling.

"Pei Wende, please stay safe."

Pei Wende blocked Xing'er behind him, and withdrew step by step.

"You did the assassination of the princes?"

"Yes." Qian Ning twisted her hair and tilted her head lazily to look at him: "The surname Zhu has betrayed me." He leaned forward suddenly, with a sinister smile on his lips: "So I'm going to kill them all. "

Pei Wende frowned slightly.

Just listening to him pacing back and forth, his smile became even more terrifying.

"The emperor abandoned me because of you." He counted his fingers: "Prince Ning used me as a swordsman, seeing that I was humiliated by barbarians, and then abandoned me. Tell me, what are the royal families of the Zhu family?" thing."

"However, Lord Ning also gave me some benefits. At least his dead men and Liu Jin's dead men get together and kill you guys. It's not too difficult."

He turned around and pointed at Zhu Houcong: "This is the child you and the emperor are desperately protecting, so of course I will kill him."

Saying that, the knife on the necks of Princess Xing and Xiao Zai deepened further.

"Mother!" Zhu Houcong was about to rush over, but Pei Wende grabbed him.

"Xiao'er! Listen to what mother said, you go! As long as you live, mother will not die." Jiang's eyes reflected the fire, and his voice was deep and clear: "Pei Qing, take Xiao'er away!"

"If you don't want to leave, don't leave!" Qian Ning ordered, all arrows were fired.

Pei Wende swung his knife to block the arrows, and dragged Zhu Houcong to the backyard.

"A Cong, go!!" Pei Wende firmly grabbed his shoulder: "Qian Ning's goal is yours. If you are here, the princess will be more dangerous!"

He dragged him to the stables, pushed him into the dark clouds and stepped on the snow, and rode another horse himself: "Listen to me! Go!"

Zhu Houcong gritted his teeth and swung his whip.

"Come on! Chase!" Qian Ning gritted his teeth and got on his horse to chase after him.

Going north from Anlu, the mountain road is rugged.The road ahead is boundless, and Qian Ning will be chasing after him.Zhu Houcong rarely wiped away his tears.

Even in the rebellion of King Ning, he has always followed Zhu Houzhao, and never personally went into battle to kill the enemy.And at this moment, the knife was about to fall on him.

His wrist was severely grabbed, but it was Pei Wende who approached: "Don't be distracted, they won't be able to catch up."

"Brother Pei, where are we going..." Zhu Houcong grabbed his whip tightly.

"Go back to Beijing." Pei Wende said these two words in a deep voice.

The two ran wildly all night and arrived at Wuchang Mansion at dawn.

This road is narrower and narrower, with mountains and rivers stretching on both sides. This is a valley with a very narrow exit and a wide belly, called Calabash Valley.

Pei Wende breathed a sigh of relief: "After passing the Calabash Valley, we can reach Wuchang Mansion within half a day, and we will be safe."

Zhu Houcong nodded fiercely: "Okay!"

The two horses slowed down, and they couldn't bear the long running.

But at this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes behind him, and distant smoke and dust floated up.

"A Cong, let's go!" Pei Wende rode his horse and galloped towards Calabash Valley.

With a roar, Qian Ning caught up and slashed down with the long knife.

Pei Wende turned around and drew his sword to resist.Qian Ning's face was ferocious, and the knife was deadly.

There was a clanging sound, and sparks burst out.

Pei Wende gritted his teeth.

"The damned person is you!" Channing caught an empty plane and stabbed forward.

Pei Wende saw the blade getting closer.

In an instant, the arrow pierced through.A soft sound came from behind Pei Wende and shot straight into Qian Ning's heart.

Afterwards, the assassins who came in pursuit couldn't get close to Pei Wende's body with one arrow at a time.

Pei Wende's heart trembled violently.as ever.

"Azhao!"

He hurried back.

The man drawing the bow in the distance is galloping vigorously.

But it was a young face.

Pei Wende suddenly felt a great pain in his heart, something shattered bit by bit and fell into the void.

I only saw Zhu Houcong yelling something anxiously.

"Brother Pei, be careful!"

It took a long time for the voice to penetrate into Pei Wende's ears.

The young man rode forward, thrust out the long sword from his waist, and pulled Pei Wende past him with his backhand.

The long sword sank into Qian Ning's body again, and the long knife in his hand fell heavily to the ground.

Zhu Houcong drew out his sword, and his blood flowed down.

"Brother Pei, let's go!"

Pei Wende came back to his senses.Qian Ning had already fallen off the horse, and a pool of blood lay beneath him.

Zhu Houcong pulled his horse's head: "We will be safe in Wuchang Mansion! Brother Pei, that's what you said!!!"

"Yes..." Pei Wende rode his horse and rushed towards Calabash Valley: "We will be safe when we arrive at Wuchang Mansion."

The remnant soldiers behind him hesitated, watching them fly away.

But the shadow of the arrow flashed silently, and the arrow pierced through the throat.

Zhang Yongce stepped out of the forest, sneered, and raised his hand.

Gourd Valley, a ray of sky, the sun is not in the middle, and there is no light.

The bushes are overgrown, and it is cold and sad.

Pei Wende was flustered for a moment.The horse also slowed down.

The boy next to him suddenly spoke.

"Just now, did you... recognize me as a cousin."

Pei Wende raised his head slightly.

"My cousin told me that in the battle of Yingzhou that year, you were the one who killed the enemy in the front, and he was the one who responded. If you protect him, he will protect you."

Zhu Houcong's eyes were full of waves, and when he spoke again, he was already a little choked up.

"If he...does something sorry for you, can you...don't blame him. "

Pei Wende was shocked.

"A Cong... what are you talking about?"

Zhu Houcong was about to speak, but his expression changed suddenly, and he lashed at Pei Wende's horse: "There is an ambush!!!"

The stone and wood rolled down rumblingly, carrying the choking smell of tung oil.The two horses jumped up in surprise, but there was no place to stand in all directions.

Pei Wende looked up, and the top of the mountain was full of archers.

It was Zhang Yong who looked at him coldly from the top.

"Zhang Yong?" Pei Wende frowned, just about to shout.

But in the next second, Zhang Yong opened his mouth gently.

"Fire arrows."

The arrow was ignited and flew down like a shooting star on a moonlit night.The bushes were poured with oil, and burned into a fire dragon in a moment.Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun.

Pei Wende was in a trance for a while.

The fire came rushing from behind.

In front of him was the West Street fire passing by, and he turned his head subconsciously, but saw Zhu Houcong struggling to step on the snow with dark clouds, struggling.

He saved Zhu Houzhao back then.

This time... the same can be done.

Xing'er is their hope, and Daming's hope.

Pei Wende made up his mind, rushed forward, and slammed his whip at Wuyun Taxue.

The fierce horse neighed, jumped high, jumped over the burning giant log, and rushed out towards the mouth of the valley like crazy.

"Brother Pei!!!"

Zhu Houcong could only hug the horse's neck tightly, the smoke and the cool wind were like a knife, and it hurt his cheeks.

"go!"

The voice was ethereal, unreal.There was only the sound of burning wood and the rumbling of stones, which shook the mountain.

In an instant, the world opened up, and the breeze blew away the smoke and dust.

"Brother Pei!!!"

Wuyun Treading Snow was still rushing like crazy, Zhu Houcong turned around, only to see Calabash Valley getting farther and farther away, and the mouth of the valley was blocked by thick smoke and fire.

But no one followed.

The young man was terrified, he clenched his palms and bled, and the momentary pain woke him up suddenly.

"Yes...Wuchang Mansion, find someone to rescue Brother Pei!"

On the outskirts of Wuchang Mansion, another group of people came galloping.The leader is a woman, wearing a white horse and pomegranate skirt, with an eager expression.

Originally, the sky was clear, but before her eyes, it was covered with dark clouds, and the wind carried a coolness.The sudden change in the sky made her even more frightened.

Shen Qing rode his horse vigorously behind him, but how could his footsteps compare to the emperor's Maxima.

Yulong suddenly neighed, and a black shadow approached from afar.

Fendele horse, after seeing the snow-white four hooves of the black horse clearly, a heart hangs in the air instantly.

Wuyun Taxue slowed down and stopped in front of her, bowing his head and sobbing.

"Dark clouds stepping on snow..." Fen Dai couldn't believe it.She raised her head and grabbed the boy riding the horse: "Why do you have this horse! Where is Pei Wende! Where is Pei Wende!!"

But the young man suddenly cried out: "Save him! Save him quickly!!!" He clasped Fendai's wrist with his backhand: "Brother Pei...Hulugu...fire! Save him!"

Shen Qing, who rushed over afterward, took a look from a distance: "Okay! There's fire over there!"

Suddenly thunder struck from the sky, and the whole world was illuminated white by electric light.

The patter of rain fell, and after a while it poured down.

The cold touch awakens the delirious, and the rain curtain is like a waterfall, extinguishing the evil fire in the world.

Fen Dai wakes up like a dream and gets on her horse.Zhu Houcong followed closely.

"It's rain!!"

"Go and save him!"

The black smoke of Calabash Valley was misty, and the fire was suppressed.The entrance of the valley was blocked by huge logs and stones, and horses were not allowed to enter.

Several people walked on foot, moving away the mottled wood and rocks.

"Pei Wende!"

"Pei Wende!!"

Fendai cried bitterly, calling his name one after another.

The dark cloud stepped on the snow but continued to cry again, rushing into the valley to search.

After a while it ran to Fendai and pushed her towards the foot of the mountain.Under several huge rocks, the corners of his black shirt were exposed.

"Pei Wende!!" Fendai almost rushed forward.

Two or three stones fell into a small gap at the foot of the mountain, and Pei Wende was buried underneath, covered in smoke and dust.

Everyone tried their best to drag him out, Fen Dai was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"Pei Wende...Pei Wende, wake up!"

"Brother Pei is still angry!" Zhu Houcong held his hand: "Brother Pei, the emperor is still waiting for you!!"

The rain gradually weakened, and the rain washed away the dust on his face.

The furrowed brow relaxed slightly.

Pei Wende opened his eyes, and suddenly the sky light fell, as soft as that person's eyes.

"Wake up! Master Pei! Master Pei!" Fen Dai supported him tightly, knelt down and kowtowed.

"God has the virtue of loving life... He didn't deserve to die, he didn't deserve to die!"

"I knew it, he could save you." Zhu Houcong wiped away the tears on his face, and wept with joy: "Brother Pei, let's go back to Beijing!"

"Wende..."

"Wende..."

"You have to live well..."

Pei Wende woke up from a dream, and the voice lingered in his ears.

The soft light sprinkled in the veil, dazzled the eyes.When a person approached gently, he touched his forehead with his body.

Hands are slightly cool.

Not Ah Zhao...

"Master Pei, you're awake."

Pei Wende's vision gradually became clear, but it was a woman in white looking at him from one side.

"Mr. Xiao said that you will drink this medicine when you wake up, come here."

Fen Dai's eyes were reddish, she helped him up, and took the medicine bowl.

The back of Pei Wende's head hurt, but he still took the medicine.While drinking, he heard Fendai say that he was crushed under a stone, but luckily he didn't get burned too much.

"It's you...you're lucky." Fen Dai took the medicine bowl and handed over the handkerchief: "It didn't hurt much, it's just that I was addicted to cigarettes. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Pei Wende fixedly looked at her.

Fendai staggered his gaze, got up to pour water.

But Pei Wende spoke softly behind him.

"Fendai..."

"What's the matter, sir?"

She turned around, but suddenly saw his dull eyes.

The voice was hoarse, filled with a decided chill.He spoke very softly, but like his knife, it pierced people's hearts.

"...Who are you dressing as filial piety?"

With a sound of "clang", the medicine bowl fell to the ground.

Pei Wende finally realized what went wrong.Fendai has always liked red, and has never worn a white dress.

And the dress is made of hemp, and there is no jewelry in her hair.

Fen Dai's eyes dodged, and she knelt down to pick up the broken bowl.The sharp edge of the bowl cut his fingers.

Pei Wende got up and walked towards her step by step.

"Fen Dai, who are you dressing in filial piety?"

The daylight outside the door was just right, and he turned his head slowly.

This is King Xing's Mansion, with white banners hanging all around.Zhu Houcong, Princess Xing and Shen Qing all wore filial piety clothes, and the servants of the palace also wore white silk around their waists, and even Xiao Zai wore white shirts.

All of them were looking at him with sadness in their eyes.

"Brother Pei..." Zhu Houcong took a few steps closer and stretched out his hand as if to comfort him.

But Pei Wende still held Fendai's wrist and asked that question again.

"You... you... who are you dressing for?"

"Brother Pei..." Li'er sniffed hard and forced out a smile: "Brother Pei, you just woke up, you shouldn't get up, go lie down for a while..."

Pei Wende's desolate eyes fell on Fen Dai, she knelt down on the ground in a state of exhaustion, tears flooded her cheeks.

"Master Pei..."

"The emperor... has passed away."
