Chapter 181
Zhuo Ran's wrist was so painful that she turned her head away, but He Xi kept leaning towards her. Zhuo Ran struggled weakly, and pulled out one hand, and He Xi grabbed her back the next moment.

"Still thinking about running?" He Xi lowered his voice.

Without waiting for any response from Zhuo Ran, there was a long cry in the air. Zhuo Ran raised his head and looked over. The long eagle aimed at Zhuo Ran's position and swooped down. He Xi frowned: "What is this?"

Zhuo Ran's eyes widened, and her heart was beating like a drum. She couldn't break free from He Xi, so she bent down. Ruofei stretched out her sharp claws, and all the wind and snow on her wings fell on He Xi, and He Xi stretched out her arms. Block can only temporarily let go of Zhuo Ran.Ruofei went straight to his eyes, but He Xi couldn't dodge, the scratches around the eyes were bleeding, Ruofei seemed to want to vent his anger for Zhuo Ran, and entangled with He Xi for a long time.

Zhuo Ran lost her strength and knelt down on the ground, she stood up with support, trying to find Li Yuchuan in the crowd.Since Ruofei has arrived, Li Xunchuan must be not far away.Zhuo Ran looked around, picked up the sword and rushed aside.

Gu Zhao helped Xi Yu onto the horse, Meng Weidao frowned and looked at He Xi: "That's..."

Gu Zhao heard the sound and looked over, just now he heard Ruofei neighing but had no chance to look at it, seeing that Ruofei had caught He Xi badly, he immediately felt relieved.Xi Yu looked down at Gu Zhao: "Master is here?"

Gu Zhao nodded slightly, and Xi Yu hurriedly looked around on the horse's back, and sure enough, he saw a man riding a horse standing on a high ground not far away, with an extra longbow in his hand.Li Xunchuan didn't have time to change his clothes that were wet by the wind and snow. The blue-black robe bulged in the wind. He stretched out his arms and drew the longbow to the full. The arrow aimed at He Xi who was temporarily suppressed by Ruofei. He let go of his hand for a moment.

The arrow feathers pierced through the veins of the snowflakes, and the white mist seeped into the arc of the arrow, passing through many obstacles and going straight to He Xi.The speed was so fast that He Xi had no time to react. The lieutenant next to him came to help him drive Ruofei away, but when he saw the arrow coming, he hurriedly blocked He Xi.

The arrow passing through the chest directly nailed the person to the ground, He Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, and when he raised his eyes, the second feather arrow had already come towards him.Ruofei circled upwards, He Xi raised his sword to block, the sword body collided with the arrow and was shot and flew out, He Xi's arm was numb from the shock, and he couldn't find who shot the arrow for a while.

Zhuo Ran froze in place, and she saw Li Xunchuan.

Li Xunchuan was about to shoot the third arrow, he took a deep breath, the left arm holding the bow and arrow was already trembling slightly after the two arrows were shot, he was breathing calmly, but his eyes were attracted by the familiar figure.

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly, and Zhuo Ran was about to run towards him.Li Xunchuan could only put away his bow and arrows, Zhushi also saw Zhuo Ran, and jumped out without waiting for Li Xunchuan's instructions. Li Xunchuan grabbed the reins and passed through the crowd. Ran pulled him into his arms.

Zhuo Ran crashed into the long-lost warmth, she gasped heavily twice, Li Xunchuan touched the back of the man's neck, then hugged the person's waist to avoid the coming sword, Li Xunchuan pulled out the evil spirit, not letting the blood get on it Zhuo dyed himself.

"Xiaqiu..." Li Yanchuan supported the person to stand firm, and said softly, "Stand by yourself for a while, can you?"

Zhuo Ran nodded.Li Xunchuan touched her wrist bone and quickly let go, splitting the barrier with evil.

Gu Zhao also got on his horse, he cut down the person in front of him, pointed his sword at those ancient Qiang people, and said loudly: "The Marquis has arrived, you must not spare these people! Kill them!"

Meng Weidao thought that what Zhuo Ran said was just to comfort him and Wei Zhuang, but he never thought that Li Yuchuan would really come.Seeing Gu Zhao and Xi Yu running in the direction of Li Yanchuan at this time, he knew that Li Yanchuan was the savior of Yuzhou.He had arrived at the city gate at this time, and Wei Zhuang was protected by a few people accompanying him. After seeing Meng Weidao, he nodded slightly: "They..."

"My lord," Meng Weidao lowered his eyes, "It's time for Yuzhou to have an attitude."

Li Xunchuan didn't leave Zhuo Ran more than five steps away, he held Zhuo Ran with his left hand, Ruofei understood what Li Xunchuan meant, and approached He Xi towards him, Li Xunchuan took a few steps quickly, raised his evil aim at He Xi's arm He wanted to chop down, but was directly stopped by the ancient Qiang people.

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly. He didn't expect He Xi to collude with the ancient Qiang people for such a long time. He stepped back a little and protected Zhuo Ran behind him. The ancient Qiang people swung their scimitars to slash Li Xunchuan, so he let go of his hand and punched swiftly and powerfully. , beat the ancient Qiang man back a few steps, Li Xunchuan didn't give him a chance to breathe, the evil pierced through his chest, Li Xunchuan pulled out the evil and threw the blade to He Xi's side.

He Xi turned sideways, looked at the evil on the ground, tilted his head and smiled: "Didn't the Champion come here for Princess Nanxiang?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Li Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "The person who met her just now can go to Naihe Bridge."

"It really is sincere." He Xi looked sideways at Zhuo Ran, "Princess Nanxiang, aren't you very interested in what I said? Now you just watch him kill me? Don't you want to know..."

Li Xunchuan said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"

He Xi wiped the blood from his face, Ruofei went around and stared at He Xi, with the same expression as Li Yuchuan.He Xi shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't want to know, you don't know. It's bothering to explain these things clearly, isn't it?"

Li Xunchuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, He Xi was still laughing, Li Xunchuan quickly came in front of him, and the evil kicked up dirt and sand, which mixed with the cold winter and fell on He Xi's neck.He Xi suppressed his smile, Li Yuchuan pushed him back a few steps, and said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't have said that."

He Xi glanced at him sideways, Li Yanchuan's wrist moved slightly, and the next moment someone directly grabbed his arm.Li Xunchuan looked sideways, Zhuo Ran stood beside him and shook her head lightly, her calm expression made Li Xunchuan very scared.

"Chi Yue, he can't die for now." Zhuo Ran said.

Li Xunchuan frowned, He Xi took the opportunity to knock Li Xunchuan's left arm away with his elbow, and then stretched out his hand to grab Zhuo Ran. Zhuo Ran drew out the dagger and stabbed it into his arm, pushed He Xi away and chased him, and said in a low voice: " It is not kindness for me to let you live, He Xi, I will take your life myself, provided that I know everything I want to know."

"Xiaqiu!" Li Yuchuan suffered from pain in his left arm, he stabilized his body, saw Zhuo Ran running after He Xi, he got up and chased after him.

"Get out now!" Zhuo Ran kicked him away, He Xi was caught by the ancient Qiang people and fell directly onto the horse's back, Zhuo Ran stepped back a few steps, and Li Yanchuan grabbed him.

"Xiaqiu..." Li Yanchuan caught Zhuo Ran, he wanted to catch up, but Zhuo Ran held his arm and shook his head lightly.

"Stop chasing..." Zhuo Ran buried her head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "Chi Yue, I'm so tired."

Li Xunchuan sighed: "Hold me, I will take you back."

Zhushi knocked away a series of people, Li Xunchuan carried Zhuo Ran onto the horse, and Zhushi went all the way to the city gate.Gu Zhao saw that He Xi had already fled away, so he and Xi Yu chased after him. The ancient Qiang people lost their sense of control, and could only chase in the direction He Xi was fleeing in a hurry, and soon dispersed from the gate of the city. opened.

As soon as the forbidden army saw Li Yanchuan coming, they were all interested, they followed Gu Zhao to arrange the matter, and it was almost dusk when they came back.The wind and snow had not subsided, but it was getting bigger and bigger. Before Meng Weidao could change his clothes, he and Wei Zhuang went to see Li Yuchuan.

Zhuo Ran fell asleep as soon as she came back. Li Yanchuan had an arm injury and couldn't use his strength. He didn't change Zhuo Ran's clothes. He just wiped her face clean, covered her with a quilt and went out.

Wei Xun was still in a coma, Gu Zhao and Xi Yu came to look for Li Yuchuan after making arrangements for the forbidden army and the prisoners.Wei Zhuang led people to the main hall, and when he saw Li Xunchuan, he gave a big gift first.

Li Xunchuan accepted it.Wei Zhuang was full of gratitude and joy before he had time to confide in Li Xunchuan. Li Xunchuan first talked about He Xi and Nie Hanshan. I told you that Yongxin Tu Sanzhou is bound to win, Yuzhou will stand in line sooner or later, I am very pleased that the two of you have done so this time."

"But Lord Hou, He Xi escaped this time, should we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Meng Weidao said.

Li Xunchuan had just heard what Gu Zhao said, and he nodded: "Master Meng said yes. However, in my opinion, He Xi and Nie Hanshan have a very close relationship. They are not just a competitive relationship, maybe He Xi was used by Nie Hanshan. This person is still useful for the time being, after the matter of Yuzhou is settled, I will personally lead someone to arrest He Xi."

Meng Weidao nodded: "Your Majesty has worked hard. In fact, this matter can be handed over to Yuzhou, although the garrison has only just begun to scale..."

"Master Meng, you don't have to be polite." Li Yuchuan said, "I'm only doing things for Xiaqiu. Xiaqiu wants to help Yuzhou tide over the difficulties, so I'll do my best to help."

Meng Weidao didn't know what to say.He and Wei Zhuang were still doubting the relationship between Zhuo Ran and Li Yuchuan. Princess Nanxiang was also a hot potato, but Li Yuchuan was so determined.Beili is now facing the ancient Qiang people, and the issue of food and payment has not been resolved, and many things are unknown.But when they heard that Li Xunchuan was called Zhuo Ran Xiaqiu, they knew that Li Xunchuan had a close relationship with Zhuo Ran, and everyone else called him Zhuo Ran Nanxiang, because now Zhuo Ran was living as Nanxiang.

To be able to call Zhuo Ran Xiaqiu must be someone Zhuo Ran trusts and is close to.Beili is really hooked up with Zhuo Ran.

Wei Zhuang thought about the words for a long time without saying a word, he sighed deeply, and said: "It is a great kindness to Yuzhou for the Hou Ye to do this. Yuzhou will definitely remember the kindness of the Hou Ye repay."

"It's easy to say," Li Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "the purpose of Xiaqiu is also known to both of you. I came this time not only to understand the difficulties in Yuzhou, but also in Yongxintu Sanzhou. The two of you will help each other and return equally. , Xiaqiu will definitely help Yuzhou solve the refugee issue, as for Beili's food and wages..."

Wei Zhuang's expression changed slightly: "Master Hou, this matter..."

"My lord." Meng Weidao frowned.

Wei Zhuang fell silent.Li Xunchuan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, you two. Although there is a problem with Beili's food and payment, it is almost resolved now. You can trust me and Xiaqiu. This friendship, whether it is Beili or Xiaqiu , will not be negative."

Wei Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief for a while: "I don't know... what are the plans of Lord Hou and the princess?"

Meng Weidao cleared his throat and said, "Well, my lord, Lord Hou didn't even have time to change his clothes, and the princess didn't wake up, why don't we talk about these things in detail after the two of you have rested, seeing that it's getting late, let Hou Grandpa, go back first."

Wei Zhuang shook his head: "Today's business is over today, don't tell me what if He Xi comes again tomorrow?"

"He Xi won't come again..."

Li Xunchuan took a sip of his tea, and Wei Zhuang looked at Meng Weidao's face and then he suddenly realized "Oh" a few times, and slapped his forehead: "Yan Ming is right, you see I get confused when I am in a hurry. Well, Lord Hou's The room is ready, so I will ask someone to take Master Hou down to rest."

"No need." Li Yanchuan got up, "Lord Wei and Master Meng don't have to work anymore, I'll just rest in Xiaqiu House. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you two, and I'll take my leave first."

"But the princess has already rested, and she is a woman after all?"

"Master Hou has worked hard today, let's go rest first." Meng Weidao grabbed Wei Zhuang's sleeve robe, pulled him behind, and said to Li Yuchuan, "Let's talk tomorrow, talk tomorrow."

Gu Zhao and Xi Yu were waiting outside, and when they heard that Li Xunchuan was about to come out, they quickly stood up straight.Li Xunchuan looked at them sideways, and said softly, "Come with me."

Wei Zhuang was still in a daze, Meng Weidao let go of him, and sighed deeply: "My lord, I didn't say you, why don't you have any eyesight? He made it clear that he was here for the princess, so you don't need it .”

"For the princess?"

Meng Weidao frowned: "It was Lord Hou who came back with the princess in his arms."

"Then he doesn't know what to say." Wei Zhuang patted the table and sighed, "Besides, this is to please Lord Hou. He did us such a favor."

Meng Weidao shook his head: "It's not like this to please, my lord, there are still many places where Yuzhou will be used in the future, we must always be vigilant, otherwise Yuzhou will be eliminated one day, and you and I will fall into a worse situation." the point."

"By the way," Wei Zhuang said, "Master Hou said just now that the issue of food and payment has nothing to do with us. I just remembered that what the princess said that day was most likely the method of aggressiveness. She wanted us to agree to her plan."

"Did you just realize it?" Meng Weidao said, "The princess said that just to ask us to agree to this matter. She was anxious and afraid that we would be even more anxious, so she needs to shake you and me first. It seems that Master Hou is not easy to deal with, but the days are still long, we just watch as we walk."

Wei Zhuang nodded: "You're right, but don't you really need to visit Lord Hou and the Princess again?"

Meng Weidao shook his head: "Let's think about how to tell the princess about Yuzhou tomorrow."

Li Xunchuan pushed open the door softly, and when he left, he put down the bed curtains, and was a little away from the inside through the screen.He lit a lamp, and brought Gu Zhao and Xi Yu in. Sitting on the rattan chair, Li Yanchuan raised his eyes and said, "You have made good arrangements these few days. I thought you would go to Yongzhou, but I didn't expect you to stop here. .”

"Master, Rongfeng." Gu Zhao lowered his voice, "Siyu and I originally wanted to go to Yongzhou, but when we heard the news that He Xi and Princess Nanxiang were going to attack Yuzhou together, Xiyu and I boldly Guess what Lord Si Ye thinks, and then come to Yuzhou."

Xi Yu also smiled, and said, "Fortunately, Gu Zhao is smart. When he left, he asked for a letter from Stinky Bear, which opened up the relationship with Mr. Meng, otherwise we would not be able to enter the city."

"That's why I said you did a good job." Li Yanchuan couldn't hide his exhaustion, he said slowly, "Also, please help me with the matter of the Yuzhou garrison, Wei Zhuang and Master Meng don't know much about this matter, you guys Worry more."

"Understood." Gu Zhao nodded.

"By the way, master, how about Beili?" Seeing that Li Xunchuan's expression was not looking good, Xi Yu said, "Why didn't the stinky bear come with the master?"

Li Xunchuan said: "Xiong Zhenghao is guarding the northern border with his brother-in-law, and Beili is fine for the time being. When I came back, I brought Changyi to Qidu. If he has an idea, he will naturally go back. You will still be able to fight side by side. But , it’s not something to think about now.”

Gu Zhao said in a deep voice: "Master, there is something unclear about this subordinate."

"Say."

Gu Zhao paused, and said, "Master, forgive me. Just now on the battlefield, I clearly saw that the master has captured He Xi, but Zhuo Siye... He Xi has escaped now, where should we go after him?"

Xi Yu held his breath, he didn't expect Gu Zhao to ask such a question.Li Xunchuan was silent for a moment, and said: "Xiaqiu has his own thoughts and reasons. Although He Xi has escaped, don't worry, I will definitely catch him again."

Gu Zhao lowered his eyes.

Li Xunchuan took a look inside the house and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll talk to Xiaqiu. By the way, Wei Xun's side...you work hard tonight and watch more, don't let him get hurt again."

Xi Yu nodded: "Good master, Gu Zhao and I will go now."

Li Xunchuan got up: "Okay, you guys go down and rest first."

"Yes."

Li Xunchuan sighed deeply when he heard the door knock.He propped himself on the table for a while, and lightly touched his left arm, the wound was already so painful that he couldn't feel it.Li Xunchuan didn't want to disturb Zhuo Ran, so he stayed outside for a long time. If he had known about it, he would have changed rooms. If Zhuo Ran saw his injuries, she would naturally feel distressed for a while.

Li Xunchuan stretched out his finger and opened the curtain. Zhuo Ran couldn't sleep well, and his brows were tightly frowned. Li Xunchuan bent down and stuffed his finger into her palm, and Zhuo Ran immediately held it.

Li Xunchuan smiled softly, he rubbed the tip of Zhuo Ran's nose, and kissed the center of her brow.Zhuo Ran shrank back into the quilt, Li Yanchuan sighed, stretched out his arms and pulled the clean clothes over, Zhuo Ran clenched his fingers tightly, and Li Yanchuan touched her cheek.

"I'll change your clothes for you before going to sleep." Li Yanchuan rubbed against her ear, Zhuo Ran hummed heavily, Li Yanchuan smiled, she called Chi Yue lightly, and Li Yanchuan sat up with his back.

I don't know if it was hot or wet from the snow, Zhuo Ran's underwear was mostly wet, Li Xunchuan stretched out his fingers to hook the belt around her waist, and pulled the clothes off.It wasn't cold in the room, but Li Xunchuan was still afraid that Zhuo Ran would catch the cold, so he pulled the person into his arms. Before the wet clothes were completely taken off, Li Xunchuan put the dry clothes on Zhuo Ran's shoulders.
