Chu Li couldn't get out of this situation. The trajectory of life and the long river of history would never go according to what she wanted.
Her eyes darkened:
"What did you do to Qin Muyu?"
"He's fine. I know you care about him and you won't hurt him."
Chu Li pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said nothing more.
Chu Yeli held her for a long time, like a lost treasure that had been found again, treating her with great care, yet unable to let go. It was so long that the chilly night wind made Chu Li's body tremble slightly. Then he picked her up sideways, wrapped her thin body with his cloak, and mounted her on the horse.
"withdraw!"
At this moment, it was already three o'clock in the night.
"Where are we going?"
"Heading to my battlefield."
He held the reins in one hand and the person in his arms in the other, staring into the night ahead. His brows were calm, but there was a hint of complacency and pride in the corners of his eyes.
In the cover of night, a team was lurking around.
Chu Li turned around.
Just a casual glance makes my scalp tingle.
The large number of people in the rear is like a dark cloud. They take advantage of the camouflage of night to ambush silently and jump out at any time to deal a fatal blow.
"Why are your people here? The area north of the Mohuai Bridge is clearly the territory of Da Chu!"
"Indeed, but after tonight, the land south of the Mohuai Bridge and below our feet will all become my territory."
She straightened her body, "Chu Yeli..."
"Call me Fifth Brother."
He covered her cloak and gently stroked the hair on her cheek, "I like to hear you call me, Xiaojiu."
During the last battle in Southern Xinjiang, he was too soft-hearted. He didn't want her to see the bloodiness of the battlefield, so he gave her the opportunity to slip away.
This time, he will stay with her all the time.
Chu Li looked at him, with a trace of struggle in her eyes: "I have never told my fifth brother about my background. Not long after I was born, Concubine Wen took me away to be raised. I have grown up without even knowing who my biological parents are."
"Once, I wanted to go and look for it, but I felt that this was fate."
"God has given me such a life and such an identity. No matter if my parents are commoners, wealthy businessmen, or even the emperor of a country, I don't want to be bound by the past, because Concubine Wen is the one who raised me. The relatives and friends around me are the most important people to me. Cherish the present, and the people in the present are the most precious!"
Chu Yeli smiled and said nothing.
The arrow is on the string and must be shot.
The sound of horse hooves passed through the night, passing through the darkness and dense forests until they approached a wide river.
Mohuai River.
A bridge connects the two sides of the mainland. The dark water glows coldly in the night, with rapid water splashing everywhere. The cold wind from the river blows towards you, bringing a bit of the chill of early autumn.
Looking across the river, a huge city with twinkling candles burning seems particularly peaceful in the night.
It's almost time.
"Oyu!"
A Yu nodded and took out the whistling arrow from his sleeve.
"Fifth brother!"
Chu Li called out hurriedly, but it didn't have any effect. He only heard a sharp "swoosh" sound, and the whistling arrows broke through the air and lit up in the night.
The signal is sounded!
On the verge of happening!
Miles away.
"Princess, His Highness Dong Ling is ready!"
"Soldiers, follow me in the assault!"
Boom boom!
The beating of war drums broke the tranquility of the fourth watch. In the dark night, thousands of troops emerged like dark clouds pressing down on the city and launched a surprise attack.
On the high city wall, the soldier on duty hurriedly sounded the alarm:
“Oh no! Something’s happening! Be alert! Everyone, be alert… Ugh!”
Killed with one arrow!
Blood splattered everywhere as tonight’s fierce battle began.
The trumpet sounded excitedly...
A huge team stood on the other side of the Mohuai River, looking at the raging war on the opposite side. They only needed to wait for the Chu army to fight with all their strength, and then sneak up behind them silently, attacking them from both sides and catching them off guard.
The river is rushing.
The whistling wind seemed to bring the sounds of fighting and the clashing of swords from afar...
Chu Yeli closed his eyes, his bony hands slightly raised, his slender fingertips moving lightly, as if depicting the battlefield in his mind.
A full hour and a half passed, dawn broke in the sky, and the intense sounds slowly faded from their climax.
finally.
He opened his eyes. "Here it comes."
The sound of horse hooves.
The sound of horse hooves coming from the river.
In less than a moment, a team of horses came rushing over. The sound of their horses' hooves was extremely chaotic, as if they were in a panic and in disarray. What they brought was an unexpected news:
"Your Highness! It's bad, we...we've been defeated!"
Chu Yeli was shocked, "What did you say?"
The fleeing Nanman soldier had blood all over his face, looked embarrassed and panicked, and said urgently:
"We launched our entire army and formed a siege, preparing to capture the three cities along the river, but we never expected that our Wu Gu army would be... annihilated!"
The witch army was not afraid of pain or death, could fight continuously, and was invincible. They were good at fighting one against a hundred.
Only ten thousand people can defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
We fought all the way and were invincible.
But tonight, the witch army was completely wiped out!
That’s not all.
"The princess has been captured!"
Chu Yeli's expression suddenly changed, and the situation was completely out of control.
Why is this happening?
How could the army of witches and sorcerers be wiped out?
Da Chu does not have such strength yet!
Unexpectedly, he suddenly looked down at the person in his arms, "You..."
Chu Li straightened his waist, slapped his backhand on the saddle, and landed steadily on the ground, "Fifth brother, I told you, you can't win."
"Is Prince Dong Ling's appetite too big?"
In the distance, beside the long and wide river bank, a group of strong war horses were slowly approaching. The soldiers on the horses were fully armed and in high spirits.
The person in the lead was Chu Dichi.
"You want to swallow up three cities of Da Chu in one night, isn't that too hasty?"
At this moment, Chu Yeli naturally understood everything.
Look at Chu Li and Chu Dichi, then look at him...
Oh.
Hahaha!
"I missed you so much that I risked my life crossing the river to come and pick you up. I never thought that this was a trap set by you."
It was his carelessness.
"I came to pick you up, but you led me into this."
"Xiaojiu, ask yourself, have you ever loved me? Even a little bit?"
"Of course never." Chu Dichi said coldly, "She is already my person!"
Chu Yeli's eyes fixed on Chu Li:
"Tell me with your own mouth!"
"Xiaojiu, tell him how much you love me and how much you forget your worries every night when we are together."
Chu Di is late!
Chu Yeli clenched the reins tightly, the blue veins on the back of his hands almost popped out, and the rage in his eyes was even more intense and violent than if he had been defeated.
Chu Dichi raised his hand and scratched the mosquito on his neck.
When I opened his collar, I accidentally revealed a few lavender kiss marks... Oh, they were mosquito bites.
Chu Yeli clenched the sword and grabbed the bow with his backhand.
"Fifth brother!" Chu Li spoke up to stop him.
Chu Di said slowly, "Xiao Jiu is kindhearted. Calling me Fifth Brother shows some consideration of our past friendship. Unlike when we are together, you always call me Brother Chi."
