Chapter 306 Relief(1/2)
The Su family’s ancestral home is in Guangjun, so it takes about seven or eight days to help the spirits back.﹥﹥﹥
Su Yi had discussed before that Su Jingnian was guarding the capital, and he and Su Yue escorted their ancestral home together. In any case, their father was lying in the coffin.
Although Shang Zhi recognized them, it was not officially included in the genealogy and held a ceremony to recognize ancestors. Another thing is that Shang Zhi was pregnant and could not participate in the Baixi event, so she and Xue Shenzhi did not show up.
This journey is destined to be smooth. Especially when there was news in the palace that Xue Shenzhi and Qin Jingling were ambushed, Su Yi asked Su Yue to bring some of the Qin family army and Su Jingnian's people to the palace to support.
I dare not take it lightly. When I rest at night, I need several people to take turns to guard it.
They passed through Anyang Prefecture City and entered Guangjun Prefecture City. It would take three or four days before they could reach Taoxi Village.
At this time, it was already dusk.
Walking in front of me, a spy appeared a bridge, and the wooden boards on the bridge were broken. If you want to go over tonight, you have to repair the bridge first.
The Lu Spy came back from the horse, grabbed the reins, and said to Su Yi, "Criminal, I'm afraid I'm going to camp here tonight. The wooden boards in the front of the bridge are broken, and the river below is turbulent. If you want to go there, you have to find a way to get a few wooden boards to repair them."
Su Yi immediately became alert. He looked around. They were in the valley, surrounded by mountains, and heard the sound of rivers rustling in his ears, and the rustling sound of the evening breeze blowing against the trees.
"A cart will be removed later, repair the bridge tonight, and camp on the other side of the river." Su Yi frowned. Guangjun produced fruits and vegetables, and now it is the season when fruits and vegetables are ripe. Vendors pass by. As they walked along the way, they found that the closer they approached the river, the fewer caravans were, which was not normal.
Melons and fruits are not easy to store, and it will take a day to delay. I don’t know how much money it will lose. If the bridge breaks, someone should have repaired it now.
When Su Yi thought of the situation in the palace, he had to be cautious. Even if he was suspicious, he should prepare for the future.
All the people accompanying him were disguised by the Qin family army and Su Jingnian. They followed Su Yi's command and took down the dry food from the carriage. There was dry firewood on the carriage. They raised the fire and held clean wooden sticks to pierce the hard steamed buns. The steamed buns were roasted and crispy, dipped in the sauce made from Shangzhi's unique recipe. It was so fragrant.
Su Yi took a few steamed buns and poured half a pot of water with a water bag. He took a long sword and went to the front to investigate.
There were several guards who followed Su Yi's arrangements and dismantled a cart filled with debris, pulled the thick wooden boards to the edge of the bridge.
Su Yi followed them, his nose moved, and suddenly stretched out his hand, his palm against the wind, he put it on his nose and sniffed it, and his face suddenly changed.
"Retreat"
"Bang"
There was a huge burst sound, and broken tiles splashed everywhere. Many people did not react, and they suffered varying degrees of damage from their bodies.
Some of them have their neck arteries cut by tiles and fall down directly.
The thunder fireball is extremely powerful, and when it explodes, the smoke burns.
The temperature was already low at night, and there was fog in the mountains and the rolling smoke, so I couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of me.
Su Yi's ears moved, and he heard footsteps coming from the mountains, and even the sound of drawing a sword.
"Please note, there is an enemy attack." Before Su Yi finished speaking, he almost pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed behind him. With a muffled groan, someone fell down.
Su Yi was worried that his people would hurt him, so he said a secret code and gathered in the southeast corner.
Immediately, Su Yi realized the problem. The smoke was too big and he couldn't tell the direction clearly. He had to let someone walk against the wind so that he could get out of the smoke.
The assassination people don't understand their slogans.
Su Yi and the others fought out a bloody path and walked out of the thick fog. Several soldiers had already broken through the siege, and more were trapped in the smoke.
His eyes were filled with depression, and he discussed strategies with them and joined the battle.
The smoke dissipated and was exposed to both sides.
Su Yi's people suffered a lot, and the other party did not get any benefits.
Now that the enemy has no smoke as a cover, Su Yi's men are like fish in water and quickly took them down.
Su Yi wiped blood from his face and looked at the corpses all over the ground. It turned out that there were more than thirty people, but now there were only less than twenty people left. Su Yi's face turned ashen.
The most urgent task is to leave here as soon as possible. He was about to let someone set off when the sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes and was in a state of alert. From afar, he saw a woman riding a horse, and only after he was close did he realize that it was Lan Xin.
He frowned, and before he could figure out why Lan Xin was here, Lan Xin had already turned over and got off the horse and came to his side.
"Su Yi, I finally caught up with you." Lan Xin saw the dead bodies on the ground, and her face changed slightly, "Are you injured?"
Su Yi did not answer her words and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I got the news that someone set up an ambush halfway and came to tell you. But where did you know, you walked too fast, my injuries have not recovered yet, and I am too weak, and it took a while to catch up with you. After all, it was a step late, and fortunately you are fine." Lan Xin said with concern, holding a veil and tiptoing to wipe the blood on Su Yi's face.
Su Yi turned his head and avoided it, and wiped it with his sleeve a few times. "The blood is already dry and it can't be wiped clean. After crossing the river, just take a shower."
Lan Xin smiled slightly and put away the brocade handkerchief, "You guys sleep here for one night."
"No."
"Are you afraid that someone will be ambushing me?" Lan Xin didn't wait for Su Yi's answer, turned her head to look at him, touching his scrutiny eyes, her eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled and said, "I'm just worried about you."
Su Yi pursed his lips, ignored Lan Xin, and directed them to carry their people on the cart. When they waited for the next stop, they cremated them.
Lan Xin followed Su Yi to help.
Su Yi stood beside her and said, "You don't need to help, just rest on the side. After crossing the river, there is a small town dozens of miles away. I will hire an escort agency to take you back to Shu."
Lan Xin bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were filled with grievances, "Su Yi, is it really impossible for us?"
"Lan Xin, women should respect themselves before they can be valued. Some words I don't want to say again will make each other embarrassed." Su Yi did not waver at all.
Lan Xin grabbed Su Yi's hand, "I don't believe you don't have my place in your heart. Ayi, it's not that you have to inherit the title of Pingyang Hou Mansion, you have two brothers. I'm here this time just to take you away."
Su Yi lowered his eyes and looked at her palm covering the back of her hand. Lan Xin also noticed his gaze and couldn't help but hold his palm tightly.
"When you are in the bamboo building, every time you hold my hand, my chest will throbbing, and you don't even dare to look at your eyes. You are a very careful person. You must see that every time you hold hands with you, my palm will sweat a little." Su Yi spread out his palm, and under the clear and cold moonlight, it was wide and dry.
Lan Xin's face suddenly changed. He was telling her that he would react after admiring her but having a small intimate contact. But now, he can handle it calmly, and she is no longer in his heart.
"Ayi" Lan Xin held Su Yi's hand in panic and explained hurriedly, "It was not that I was unwilling to go to the appointment, but that I couldn't help myself. My life experience did not deceive you, the only thing I lied to is that my father did not die for revenge for my mother. He died of a life of misfortune. My mother is still alive, me."
"Bitch, don't want to lie to my elder brother again." Su Yue galloped over with a team of people. The martial arts practitioners had a clear ear and a clear eye. He heard Lan Xin's words, "If you were not a vicious person, why did you collude with Hua Min and He and kill your third brother and sister?"
Third brother and sister
Lan Xin was stunned for a moment before she realized that her third brother and sister were talking about Wen Quyan.
Is she dead
Lan Xin tightened her palms, it was not her original intention.
As his mind turned around, Lan Xin felt relieved again.
The strong prey on the weak.
In this world, whoever is the strong will have enough voice.
She is just being controlled by others.
Su Yi looked at Lan Xin with a sharp look.
Lan Xin smiled and said, "You have long been suspicious of me when you look at me like this. Zhizhi also became suspicious of me, so he asked the dishes from Shu to test me and asked Shen Qiu to follow me."
Su Yue drew out his long sword and stabbed Lan Xin in the chest.
Lan Xin's face suddenly changed. She pulled Su Yi and turned the direction with her, pushing Su Yi towards Su Yue with force.
Su Yue's face was dark, he put away the sword in time, his eyes were full of rage and glaring at Lan Xin.
She saw her like a kite with broken strings, being shot out by a giant crossbow and nailed to a tree trunk a few meters away.
He stared at the sight of her eyes widening. She was saving Su Yi.
Not using Su Yi to block the sword
Su Yi was also confused by this change. He looked at Lan Xin nailed to the tree, and blood was overflowing from his mouth. His eyes were staring at him, as if he had something to say.
Su Yue didn't care about Lan Xin, so he took the people to chase the murderer.
Su Yi was angry with Lan Xin and killed Wen Quyan.
But in a blink of an eye, she died to save him, and her mood was both heavy and complicated.
"Ayi, I'm sorry, I deceived you. There are many things I want to confess to you, but I'm afraid you will alienate me because of this. Today is an opportunity. If you don't confess, I'm afraid there will be no chance." Lan Xin raised her hand to wipe the red blood from the corners of her lips. She looked at Su Yi with a smile on her eyebrows and said, "My mother is the saint of Donghu Kingdom. She doesn't like Donghu Kingdom. The identity of the saint sounds very sacred. Her status in Donghu Kingdom is supreme, but that's just the surface, but she is controlled by the royal family. When she met my father, she left with my father. How could Khan easily let her go and search for her for a full ten years before she found my mother back."
Su Yi frowned.
"I'm approaching you with a purpose. They told me to approach Qin Jingling, or his son Qin Huai. But I fell in love with you at a glance, and you're so easy to deceive." Lan Xin wanted to laugh, but her breath gradually weakened. She coughed a few times, her face turned paler, and the wound on her chest was hurting severely.
"This is why I refused to go to the appointment at the beginning. I didn't love you, I just used you. I suddenly left because my mother was seriously ill and she suddenly returned to Donghu. You are so stupid that I believed it. This time, I was also ordered by Princess Huamin to come to the Great Zhou Kingdom. She said you are nostalgic and I followed you to spy on the enemy's relationship very well. But your heart is harder than I thought. In order to gain your trust, I made someone chop off my shoulders. Sure enough, I stayed by your side and told Princess Huamin that your plan to save Nine Lady was ruined. Now, I even let He kill Wen Quyan."
"Ayi, look, are you so bad that you are good at everything? You just have a bad vision. Next time, when choosing a wife, you have to see your foundation clearly." Lan Xin was very difficult to speak. She knew that she was about to lose her way. Her eyes fell on Su Yi's face and wanted Su Yi to hug her. She would be satisfied with her in this life and she would be able to die in his arms.
But she said a lot of mistakes she had made, and she used the reasons for not loving him, and then she was contradictory to make this request.
She did not lie to Su Yi for those words. The only thing that was fake was that she fell in love with him. The two of them had different identities and were destined to have no result, so she broke the appointment.
After five or six years, Princess Huamin was ambitious about the Great Zhou Kingdom, so she threatened her with her mother and asked her to do a meticulous work, lurking beside Su Yi.
This man is the only man she loves deeply and has always loved, so she naturally does not want to use him or even hurt him. If she does not come to the Great Zhou Kingdom to do detailed work, Princess Huamin will send other people, and Su Yi's situation is even more dangerous.
Lan Xin knew very well that she was not a good person, so she sought profit and avoided harm. In order to protect Su Yi, she could sacrifice the lives of others.
Wenquyan is the best example.
She used Wen Quyan.
If you are wrong, you are wrong.
