Chapter 165 Death on the road is better than living in a dream
Facing Bai Song's questioning, the guard who caught him seemed a little hesitant.
The injury on his body has not yet healed, and this injury was caused by the young lady doing it to herself for this man.
The guard couldn't understand why the lady he had known for so many years would be so cruel to him for a man he had only known for a few days.
But seeing Bai Song at this moment, the guard suddenly understood.
At least after the lady disappeared, everything this man did for her did not let her down.
In contrast, the guard himself became indecisive.
The guard knew in his heart that he was different from the other person. Bai Song was an ordinary person, a doctor at most, while he was not only a guard, but also a soldier.
As a soldier, you must obey orders. As a soldier, you cannot tolerate any personal feelings!
Thinking of this, the guard didn't hesitate much and still grabbed Bai Song and prepared to drag him away.
Bai Song was unwilling to give in and took advantage of his unpreparedness to draw his scimitar.
But this guard was even more powerful than Zhang Shuyuan. As soon as Bai Song made a move, the opponent placed a palm on the back of Bai Song's hand, and the scimitar instantly fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
"I advise you not to be clever, otherwise you will only suffer."
Bai Song gritted his teeth: "You ungrateful guys, I don't want your help, that's all. I will go and get Li Shuwang myself, and I won't regret it even if I die! Zhang Shuyuan, I think you are also a man, why are you so cowardly today? You don't even say a word
Don’t dare to say anything?”
Zhang Shuyuan looked ugly, lowered his head slightly, and looked to one side: "Brother Bai, we are soldiers. After receiving the general's order, we must take you back. Otherwise... we... can't explain it."
"Soldiers? What kind of bullshit soldiers? You are not even human! People have feelings, not chess pieces, not cold weapons. I don't have the benevolence and righteousness you think, and I don't understand the overall situation. I only know that as long as I like it, I
If you care about someone, you must never let her get hurt! I will die if I go back, and I will die if I leave, why not let me die on the way to save Shu Wang!"
"Brother He..." Zhang Shuyuan frowned and looked at the guard holding Bai Song.
The guard's eyes widened, as if he was reminding Zhang Shuyuan, but he didn't say much.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate, and the two leaders were silent.
The four followers who were following along the way were a little anxious and came up and asked: "Boss, what are you waiting for? Now that you have caught the person, go back quickly."
The guard closed his eyes and raised his hand slightly to signal the others not to speak.
Seeing this, Bai Song was secretly happy. It seemed that there was still room for change. He quickly said: "If you take me back today, Li Shuwang will have no chance of survival. She is also a young lady who has watched her grow up. Could it be that you just
No feelings at all? Don’t you ever want to save her? Even if you don’t dare to go, do you still want to stop others from saving her? "
"Don't you see? Why did Li Jing ask you and Zhang Shuyuan to take the lead in chasing? There are so many people, why did they only choose the old team around you two ladies?"
The guard frowned: "What do you mean?"
"This is the general who deliberately wants you to let me go. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Li Jing cannot put the entire army in danger for his own benefit. I kidnapped the Turkic princess by myself. The army has to chase me. You are just running away after me."
It’s just a cutscene. Your general doesn’t want you to take him back.”
The guard had a surprised look on his face and looked back at the people behind him. It seemed that as Bai Song said, the chasing team were all the young lady's old acquaintances.
Zhang Shuyuan was also a little suspicious and asked in a low voice: "Things are a little strange. Why does the general want us to chase him? Is there really something behind the scenes?"
The person behind also interrupted in a low voice: "It is rumored that this guy is eloquent, we can't be fooled by his few words."
The guard was silent for a long time. He was the leader of this team and his decision was crucial.
Slowly, the guard let go of Bai Song calmly.
Bai Song was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists.
Zhang Shuyuan saw that Bai Song was let go, so he naturally let go of Badu.
The two of them looked at each other, fearing that these people might change their minds at the last moment, so they quickly mounted their horses and prepared to leave.
Bai Song was about to mount his horse when the guard behind him shouted: "Wait!"
Bai Song was startled, turned around and asked, "What?"
"Do you know where the lady is? Where is this trip going?"
"Bo Ye."
"Bo Ye? Where is Boye?"
"North of Yinshan Mountain."
"North of Yinshan Mountain?!" The guard was shocked when he heard this. "We will cross the enemy's hinterland and enter behind the enemy's back. The road ahead is dangerous and unusual. You only have one man and one horse, how dare you..."
Bai Song smiled disdainfully: "It's better to die on the road than live in a dream!"
After that, Bai Song got on his horse, gave the Turkic princess the rope, and then pulled her behind him: "Now you should believe in my determination, right? No one can send you home except me."
Ajibado nodded, took a closer look at this unusual Han man, and responded: "Yes."
"Hold me tight and let's go!"
One man, one horse and one prisoner set off on the road again.
Now that he had thrown away his pursuers, Bai Song no longer worried, entered the mountain road through the forest, and walked on the path he took last time to pursue Shu Wang.
Walking on the familiar road, all the events of that night are vivid in my mind.
When Bai Song reached the thin line of sky at the end of the mountain road, he thought of Shu Wang's call echoing in the mountain stream.
Bai Song gently took out the jade pendant in his arms, looked at it, put it away carefully, put his hand on his heart, and silently thought about what he said.
"Shu Wang, I'm here!"
…
"Drive! Drive!"
The sound of galloping came again from behind.
Ajibado, who was sitting in the back, looked back and panicked: "Let's go quickly! The person from before is here again!"
Bai Song also frowned, wondering what the hell was going on? Why did he catch up again?
Bai Song subconsciously prepared to speed up, but when he thought about it, he couldn't get rid of them now in the mountains and forests, and now it was even more impossible on the mountain road. He simply stopped and wanted to see what they wanted to do?
It was really Zhang Shuyuan's team of six people. They quickly caught up with Bai Song and then dismounted one after another.
Bai Song looked unkind and asked coldly: "What else do you want to do?"
Zhang Shuyuan's expression became firm, and he lost his previous hesitation and replied loudly: "Let's go to rescue the lady with Brother Bai!"
Bai Song was stunned: "What?"
The guard said: "I have figured it out. The purpose of the general asking us to come is to serve as Brother Bai's helpers and go deep into the enemy's hinterland to rescue the young lady."
"You...you really want to come with me?"
Several people at the back replied: "Miss treats us well. Now that she is in trouble, we will naturally retaliate with death!"
The guard looked at Bai Song and smiled: "Let me introduce myself formally. He Fang swears that I have no job in the army."
Several people behind said separately.
"Liu Shanggu."
"Brother Bai, my name is Pan Tuo, just call me Da Pan."
"My subordinate Li Zhen is willing to listen to Brother Bai's instructions."
"I am Xu Changtian."
Finally, Zhang Shuyuan walked up to Bai Song, smiled and clasped his fists: "I don't need to introduce you, right?"
Bai Song was a little stunned and didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Zhang Shuyuan smiled and patted Bai Song on the shoulder: "Brother Bai, don't you look down on us? These are all my teammates when I was in the inspection camp. They were personally selected by the general. They are my teammates in name, but in reality they are my teammates."
Those responsible for the safety of the young ladies are all top-notch experts. Those Turkic barbarians seem to be powerful, but one of these few can be compared to ten."
"This...this is not a question of whether it is powerful or not, but a dangerous journey..."
He Fangzhu said coldly: "It is better to die on the road than to live in a dream."
He said the same thing to Bai Song, and He Fangzhao got on his horse and walked to the front alone.
In an instant, there were six more masters in Bai Song's team.
Although Bai Song was a little confused, this was definitely a good thing.
The more people join, the greater the possibility of rescuing Shu Wang.
The Bai Song Dynasty became more confident, and this strong team had already left Yunzhou and entered the sphere of influence of the Turkic army.
…
Winter passes and spring comes, and everything revives.
The spring scenery is especially obvious when traveling through dangerous mountains and forests.
The water flow at the foothills of Yinshan Mountain is mixed with broken ice, and the buds of various trees, flowers and plants that have regenerated and then were knocked down float on the water surface.
On the deserted ridge, even the wind carries a special fragrance.
If you come for an outing, you will definitely feel relaxed and happy.
By the river, Bai Song took several brothers' water bags and filled them with water one by one.
The water surface was crystal clear, reflecting Bai Song's face.
I don't know when, but Bai Song's face already had traces of wind and frost. Even though it was spring, anyone could see the wounds torn by the wind left by the winter.
The injury when he arrived has healed, but there is a ring of stubble on his face, and the pretty face has turned into a rough man.
Bai Song noticed the changes in himself and stood in a daze by the river. Thinking back on everything before, it was like a dream.
And he also underestimated the difficulty of this trip.
In order to avoid the Turks' eyes, they had to cross two-thirds of the Yinshan Mountains from Helan Mountain to the ridge of Yinshan Mountain. Two months had passed when they reached the foot of the last mountain to be climbed.
As long as they climb over the cloud-covered mountain in front of them, behind them is their destination - Boye.
If everything goes well, it will take half a month.
This mountain is called Niba Mountain.
Because the pronunciation of Ajibado in Turkic language is very similar to the Chinese word "Niba", it was directly called Niba Mountain by a group of Han people. In fact, it is regarded as a sacred mountain in the hearts of Turks.
There was still broken ice in the river, which proved that the snow on the mountain had not melted. They must make some preparations on the mountainside to avoid danger during the climb.
A splash of water suddenly hit Bai Song's face.
A woman jumped out from the middle of the river, and a carp stood upright, shaking its wet hair.
Ajibado looked at Bai Song with a smile and pointed at Bai Song's face: "It's time to wash it off! How dirty it is!"
The girl in the water was dragging her soaked clothes, standing in the water up to her waist, twisting her waist intentionally or unintentionally, talking, hooking her fingers, and holding a bunch of long hair in her mouth, gesturing seductively to Bai Bai.
Song came to the water.
Bai Song didn't say anything. He picked up a few water bags and turned back to the fire.
At this time, Da Pan, who had gone to the foot of the mountain to buy cold-proof leather, came back. He could be heard saying from a distance: "It's not good. I heard that Yunzhou is in emergency. Our army is retreating again. The situation of the war is not optimistic."
