The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 129 Adventure
The first quarter moon still hangs coldly in the air, the river wind is getting colder, and the smell of blood faintly irritates the nostrils.

Yun Ruochen had calmed down from the initial shock, took a deep breath silently, and stared at the other side with all his attention.

Gu Che, Ye Shenyan, and Zhao Xuan were also shocked by this brutal killing, but none of them showed any signs of panic.Several people subconsciously huddled together, and Ye Shenyan carefully inserted the pole into the bottom of the water to stabilize the bamboo raft, so as not to let the bamboo raft be washed out of the bush by the river and be seen by others.

Among the three, Gu Che grew up in the border gate, even if he was not used to killing people, he still had contact with them after all.Ye Shenyan looks very cheerful, but he also crawled out of the beggars whose lives are the least valuable, and he has even seen eating dead human flesh more than once.In the Tingyu building, all the masters and companions he could come into contact with had blood on their hands.

Only Zhao Xuan has been pampered since he was a child, but after experiencing the chase and escape on the night of the Spring Hunting Great Change, Zhao Xuan, who was originally cold-tempered, calmed down a lot. Although he was surprised, he was not really frightened.

The three teenagers all stood in front of Yun Ruochen, worried that she would be frightened when she saw such a scene.However, they soon discovered that there was no fear on Yun Ruochen's face, he just stared into the distance with piercing eyes, and hugged his brother even tighter.

At this time, the conversations of those thieves came intermittently from the other side.

"...It's almost all killed."

"Well. This area has to be cleared. Our men are coming soon."

"But it hasn't been resolved in the capital, it's really troublesome..."

"It's that old man surnamed Gu who's getting in the way! But tonight we have to take it down, hmph..."

The thieves got off their horses and stabbed the corpses on the ground a few times. After confirming that these innocent villagers were dead, they urged their horses to turn around and left the shore.

But Yun Ruochen and the others didn't dare to make any moves, and Gu Che nervously hugged the brown horse Xiaomao who was also on the bamboo raft, for fear that Xiaomao would make a sound.Fortunately, Xiaomao is very human, and he just flicked his tail without making any noise.

After a long time, Yun Ruochen let out a breath and sat down slowly.

"They should be gone."

A few people were speechless, you looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end Gu Che couldn't hold back and asked first: "What should we do now?"

Before Yun Ruochen could speak, Zhao Xuan spoke first.

"Go ahead, we still have to go to the capital to see the situation!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Xuan, only to hear Zhao Xuan say in a low voice: "These people are chasing and killing the villagers. Their reinforcements must be coming. They are afraid that the villagers will expose the traces of those troops, so kill them first to silence them."

"And from what they said, the reinforcements haven't arrived, and the capital hasn't been taken yet... So we have to rush back first, and see if we can find a way to enter the city!"

"If you stay nearby, you are more likely to encounter their reinforcements. By then..." Zhao Xuan paused, and said, "It will definitely be difficult for us to escape."

Just as Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Yun Ruochen also nodded and said, "Yes. Let's do it this way, keep going!"

Gu Che and Ye Shenyan are not stupid, but in terms of analytical ability, naturally Zhao Xuan and Yun Ruochen are stronger.Basically, the group of five has a tacit understanding, and the division of labor between them is very clear.

Gu Che and Ye Shenyan were in charge of physical combat, while Yun Ruochen and Zhao Xuan were in charge of mental combat.As for Xiao Yunyao, just let someone take care of him obediently...

Ye Shenyan used the stars in the sky to judge the time, and without further ado, he grabbed the pole and continued rowing.Gu Che also let go of Xiao Mao, swung his arms, and hurried on with Ye Shenyan.

"Chen'er, what do you think?"

Zhao Xuan looked at Yun Ruochen.

Yun Ruochen smiled wryly, and said, "Now we have to ensure our own safety first. Otherwise, play by ear."

However, the "old man surnamed Gu" mentioned by the other party... She looked at Gu Che's back rowing silently, and thought to herself, maybe things haven't reached the point of despair yet.

Is it Mr. Gu Ge who returned to Beijing one day earlier, and is in charge of the overall situation in the capital?
During the spring hunt, the cabinet ministers and the six officials followed the emperor to rest in the camp, leaving only some middle-level officials in Beijing to handle official duties.According to Gu Che, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Ping Ge, and others were all dispersed by the pursuers that night, and it is unknown how many of them could escape back to the capital.

Speaking of it, I don't know if the old emperor was too careless, or the enemy was too powerful. Being able to do things to such a degree is simply a one-pot job.

Even if the crown prince could escape with Emperor Yuanqi this time, the imperial court would be seriously injured.In any case, the enemy's purpose has been achieved.

Because they were worried about being discovered, although they were in a hurry, they did not dare to sail in the middle of the river. They only chose those small waterways to walk slowly, which wasted a lot of time.

When they saw the shadow of the village again on the road, they were afraid of encountering the enemy again, so they all walked away.However, it seems that these villages are quite quiet and have not been killed like that village.

Maybe it's because the enemies haven't rushed over yet?Therefore, the most important thing is to hurry up and go to the capital ahead of those reinforcements!

"Coming!"

Ye Shenyan was most familiar with the terrain, and after crossing a certain waterway, he reminded everyone in a low voice.

Yun Yao turned over in Yun Ruochen's arms, and murmured unintentionally.Yun Ruochen looked at his younger brother in embarrassment, really not knowing what to do with him.Also, the injured Zhao Xuan is also...

Zhao Xuan remained silent, he couldn't tell what he was thinking, although he was haggard, his face was as handsome as jade, as calm as the river on this spring night.

Gu Che and Ye Shenyan carefully moved the bamboo raft next to the shadow on the bank. According to Ye Shenyan, the moat is beyond.

Sure enough, after a short wait, they slowly heard noises in the wind.Judging from the direction of the sound, it should have come from the moat.

"There are still three or four miles of waterway, and the noise is so loud... There must be a lot of people."

Gu Che suddenly pressed his fingers into his lips and let out a sharp whistle, Xiao Jin, who had been following them in the air, slid down and landed on Gu Che's shoulder.

Gu Che chatted with Xiao Jin head to head for a while, followed by a few weird gestures.Not long after, Xiao Jin rushed into the night sky again, and disappeared after a few flutters.

"I'll ask Xiaojin to investigate the situation." Gu Che turned his head and said to Yun Ruochen and Zhao Xuan: "According to what the thieves I met just now said, their people are still besieging the capital, but they probably haven't been able to take the four Block all the gates... When Xiaojin comes back, tell us which side has fewer troops, so we can find a chance to escape in."

"I hope." Yun Ruochen sighed.Theoretically speaking, the rebel reinforcements may not have arrived yet, and their strength may not have reached the point where they can besiege the capital.But no one can say right now.

Ye Shenyan thought embarrassingly, it was not difficult for him to climb over the city wall, the little princess could probably do it with his own help, and Gu Che... has quick hands and feet, not to mention no shortage of strength.But what about Zhao Xuan and Xiao Shizi?
They didn't move forward, they just waited for news from Xiaojin.Yun Ruochen listened attentively, and the shouting in the distance seemed to be clearer.Is the bandit army attacking the city overnight?

The waiting time seemed to pass very slowly.It was already the middle of the night, the moon set in the sky, dark clouds piled up, and the sky and the earth became darker and darker.From a distance, Yun Ruochen keenly smelled the stench of blood, as well as the haze and fluctuations brought about by the mass death of living beings.

She flicked her right hand lightly, gently rubbed the three copper coins between her five fingers, closed her eyes and silently calculated.

fierce.

Great evil.

No matter how many times she deduces, the prospects she can see are the same.

The bamboo raft is not big, and the five people and one horse are actually very close together, and she does not avoid people in her movements.Looking at her mysterious actions, Zhao Xuan opened and closed his lips lightly, but swallowed the question back.

Since she didn't tell, he didn't ask.

"Little Jin is back!"

Gu Che excitedly clapped his hands a few times, calling for Xiao Jin who had returned.Xiao Jin rushed down with a whoosh, and a gust of cold wind was fanned by his outstretched wings.It was still on the owner's shoulder, and I don't know how Gu Che communicated with it. Anyway, Gu Che finally told them that they had to take a long detour and approach the capital from the west.

"The west side has the fewest people?"

Yun Ruochen turned his head and thought for a while, yes, the east gate has always been the strongest, and it is normal that the west side is not taken seriously.

If you say go, go, if you don't go, it will be dawn.They cheered up again, and began to detour guided by the stars.

Until dawn, the small bamboo raft finally turned a few small bends and slid into the small river leading to the west of the city.

"Oops, there are still people in front."

Seeing that the majestic city gate was already looming, they also saw the thieves holding torches attacking the city gate in the darkness!
"There are quite a few of them..."

Yun Ruochen had a headache.

If Xiaojin's judgment is correct... the west gate with the fewest people is difficult for them to approach, so what should we do?
At this time, Ye Shenyan thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "You guys hide here for a while. I'll go to their neighborhood to eavesdrop on the situation, maybe it will be useful."

"You go? It's too dangerous."

Gu Che subconsciously wanted to stop him.Ye Shenyan shook his head and said, "It's still dark, I won't be discovered by them."

"Ache, the princess will leave it to you."

He didn't even give a few people a chance to stop him, he stuffed the pole into Gu Che's hand, and jumped up to the tall tree on the bank!

Immediately afterwards, he jumped from one tree to another, and went far in a few strokes!

"I can't see, this guy is really flexible!"

Gu Che stared dumbfounded at Ye Shenyan going away, and suddenly admired this young man who was shorter and younger than him.

Yun Ruochen looked worriedly at the direction Ye Shenyan left, and then looked down at his sleeping brother.

If it wasn't for himself, Shen Yan wouldn't need to take such a risk.

Are you being too selfish?

She recalled that at the beginning, because she realized that Ye Shenyan's physique could just cure her terminal illness, she asked Nie Shen to keep him and send him to Tingyulou.

He was originally a free and easy little beggar, stealing chickens whenever he wanted, and playing whenever he wanted, if he hadn't met her, he probably wouldn't have had anything to do with any political conspiracy in his life, would he?

But instead of complaining, he tried his best to protect her and help her.

Be cautious... Please come back safely!

　Cold, vomiting and diarrhea for two days, what I ate and vomited... I finished writing a chapter in a drowsy state, and went out to meet the moving truck...
