Chapter 124 The dormant beast
Chapter 124 The dormant beast
Every word Song Qinian said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Yu's heart hard.
Even he didn't know what he was afraid of.
Perhaps the scary thing about Song Qinian was not that he was able to lead a group of Sumu people to attack the Nanling Imperial City, but that his apparent innocence concealed a ferocious beast.
The kind of beast that lies dormant, waiting.
The kind of beast that will pounce out at any time and bite you to pieces.
Song Qinian said that he would not hurt him, but it did not mean that he would not hurt others.
Gu Yu saw murderous intent in his eyes.
Perhaps the paranoia shown by Song Qinian before was just a superficial layer. At this moment, he bared his teeth and showed his true face.
Behind him was a large number of people, almost all of the people who had evacuated from the camp tonight were behind him.
Gu Yu's idea that popped up before was not wrong. How could someone as smart as Song Qinian suddenly withdraw the people stationed at the base camp? It was just that he had guessed tonight's plan early on, so he used the trick to catch the turtle in the jar.
"Your Majesty, please step back."
"General Jin..."
Gu Yu looked at Jin Zhi with a worried look on his face, and it was his expression that made Song Qinian's expression extremely ugly.
Since their reunion, Gu Yu has never looked at him with such worried and pitiful eyes.
This look now belongs to someone else.
His Highness did not want to go there.
His Highness wanted to run away again.
His Highness is still worried about others.
He knew that Gu Yu didn't want to be around him, so he tried his best to be nice to him. No matter what Gu Yu did, made trouble, or beat him, he could accept it and tolerate it.
The prerequisite is that Gu Yu cannot leave him.
It was obvious that he was about to take out his heart and soul and give it to His Highness, so why was Your Highness still trying to escape?
He doesn't care about Nanling's kingdom at all. The reason why he is stationed outside the city is just to put some pressure on the regent and take back His Highness's kingdom from that person's hands.
He didn't bother to sit in that position, he just wanted to take care of it.
Song Qinian raised the corners of his mouth, but he was not smiling. His eyes were bloodshot, like a cornered animal, full of gloom and coldness.
My chest was swollen and stuffy, and my resentment was rushing everywhere in my heart, trying to break through a hole and pour it all out.
"Guard your majesty!"
The team spread out, blocking Gu Yu from behind. Golden Bird of Prey turned his head slightly and whispered to Gu Yu:
"Your Majesty, when we charge into the formation later, just run away or take a detour. As long as you successfully enter our military camp, that's all."
Gu Yu felt panicked and blurted out: "General Jin, don't fight. There are so many of them. We will only make some unnecessary sacrifices, or..."
"Your Majesty, you are your Majesty of Nanling. We will never see you fall into the hands of the enemy. What will the ministers of Nanling think, what will the people of Nanling think? The monarch has been captured, and Nanling will become someone else's." Prisoner?"
I have to admit that the golden bird of prey is right.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. Even if the king of a country sacrifices his life for the country, he cannot become a prisoner of others.
Fuck the king.
He doesn't want to be a king at all.
It was that pervert Gu Shuangnan who caused...
Gu Yu wanted to cry.
He was now in a dilemma.
Song Qinian seems really angry. If he goes there now, can this conflict be avoided?
But it was too late.
Before Gu Yu had finished thinking, the archers in the front row opposite were already ready.
The sharp blade still glowed coldly under the firelight.
Gu Yu looked frightened, his eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Song Qinian, I'll go over and ask them to put down their bows and arrows, put down their bows and arrows!"
The person opposite no longer looked at him, but focused his gaze on the golden bird of prey, half-smiling but not smiling:
"Golden Bird of Prey? Your soldiers are stronger than Li Guodong's, but... I'm afraid you will suffer some losses from me today."
Jin Zhi looked at Song Qinian, frowning, and said nothing.
On the battlefield, we meet on a narrow road, and the fight is life and death. There is no point in arguing with each other at this moment.
Being besieged today was indeed something he didn't expect. Except for the arrogant and arrogant way he jumped into the enemy's trap when he was young and ignorant in the early days, this was probably the biggest loss he had suffered in the past few years.
It was he who underestimated the young man.
It's just a drag on His Majesty, and it really shouldn't be.
But no matter what, His Majesty cannot be surrendered. This is related to the dignity of Nanling.
Even if you die in battle, you can never retreat.
Gu Yu was escorted aside.
The chaotic sound of horse hooves, human voices, and the harsh sound of swords clashing flooded into Gu Yu's ears.
The smell of smoke and blood stirred up by the horses' hooves was mixed together.
Gu Yu looked at the battle that was destined to end, his eyes shaking and his hair standing on end with horror.
He only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, as if a gong was beating desperately in his head, and his thoughts became messy and became a net. The net tightened and tightened, reaching straight to his heart, making it impossible for him to break free. open.
A burst of warmth splashed onto Gu Yu's face, making his face turn pale instantly.
In the chaos, he saw Song Qinian pulling out his bow and arrow from behind with an expressionless face, drawing it with full force, and aiming the arrow at the golden bird of prey who was fighting bravely with the Sumu people.
Gu Yu knew Song Qinian's riding and shooting skills.
At that time, Chunyu was able to help him hit the target from a long distance, which many people couldn't do.
I don't know if it was because he was too afraid, but Gu Yu's throat suddenly became blocked, and he tried his best to shout out:
"General Jin, be careful!"
The arrow had already come out of his hand, the sharp blade pierced the night, and shot straight in the direction of the golden bird of prey.
puff.
The sound of an arrow sinking into flesh.
The golden bird of prey, who was fighting, took several steps back because of this arrow before he could stand upright. The arrow shot into the left side of his chest. It was not known whether it hurt his heart. He held on to the wooden arrow body. , coughing several times with a heavy throat.
Blood also started to flow from the corners of his mouth.
He raised his eyes, his bloodshot eyes staring at the man on horseback not far away.
Seeing the opponent draw a second arrow.
Song Qinian had no warmth on his body, and even less on his face. His eyes were focused on the golden bird of prey like an eagle, trying every possible means to kill him.
When Song Qinian was gathering strength and preparing to pull out the second arrow, Gu Yuhu slapped his horse on the butt and rushed in his direction regardless.
The former naturally saw him from the crowd, frowned, his iceberg-like expression relaxed slightly, and his hands naturally relaxed a bit.
Song Qinian was still afraid. If the arrow was fired after the hand was fully charged, it would accidentally hurt him.
