Chapter 458 Let them come and go
At this moment, a silver spear pierced the sky and flew over. The person jumped up from his horse, stepped on the silver gun to boost his strength, and fully drew the bow in mid-air.
Three arrows were fired, and the Bei Liao soldiers fell to the ground screaming. Shen Ruzhou looked up and saw the silver spear piercing deeply into a big tree behind her. Bei Xiuyan stood on the barrel of the gun with his hands behind his back, his clothes and sleeves flying, as if he was banishing an immortal.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty no longer dared to take it lightly. They showed their spears one after another and swarmed forward.
Bei Xiuyan showed no fear and drew out the soft sword from his waist to face him. The soft sword swam between the spears like a silver snake, and with his quick and agile body, he cut the necks of Bei Liao soldiers one after another.
Soon, a dozen soldiers were dealt with by Beixiu Yan.
Shen Ruzhou stepped forward happily, but unexpectedly, Bei Xiuyan spat out a large mouthful of blood. He turned his wrist and inserted the long sword into the snow, and then managed to steady his body without falling.
Seeing this, Shen Ruzhou hurriedly supported Bei Xiuyan, only to find that there was a deep wound under his ribs, and blood was flowing down.
She took out her handkerchief and pressed it on the wound to stop the bleeding, and asked with concern: "My lord, how are you? Are there any other injuries?"
"Don't worry, my king..."
Bei Xiuyan reluctantly raised his head. Just after he said a few words, his throat felt fishy and sweet. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fainted.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Shen Ruzhou called eagerly several times, but the other party still didn't respond.
She looked around and found a cave not far away, so she staggered and helped Bei Xiuyan over.
Shen Ruzhou found some dry wood and lit a fire. He carefully checked Bei Xiuyan's body and found that in addition to his ribs, his shoulders and back had been stabbed, and he bled a lot.
Shen Ruzhou's eyes were filled with tears, and he was extremely distressed. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead over and over again for Beixiu Yan.
The temperature dropped sharply at night, and Bei Xiuyan, who was seriously injured, developed a high fever and his clothes were soaked with sweat. Shen Ruzhou had no choice but to hug him tightly and use her own body temperature to keep him warm.
The figures of the two people were reflected on the stone wall of the cave. Shen Ruzhou watched as her thoughts drifted back to the night she spent admiring the pear blossoms in Mount Li last year. It was also in the cave that she and Bei Xiuyan had their first skin-to-skin contact.
It would be great if we could stay together like this forever. Shen Ruzhou couldn't help but think, but she knew that both of them were burdened with too many responsibilities and often couldn't help themselves.
Bei Xiuyan seemed to be having a nightmare, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and he kept shouting in a daze: "I'm sorry, Ruzhou, I'm late."
Shen Ruzhou felt warm in his heart when he heard his raving.
She held Bei Xiuyan's hand tightly, her voice was delicate and gentle but full of power.
"It's not too late. Your Majesty came just in time. Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of the northern territory. He was able to sacrifice his life to save Ruzhou when he was in danger. Ruzhou is very grateful."
As if hearing Shen Ruzhou's comfort, Bei Xiuyan's tense body slowly relaxed, his frown gradually relaxed, and he got over the nightmare and continued to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Bei Xiuyan woke up and just sat up. Shen Ruzhou hurriedly reached out and touched Bei Xiuyan's forehead, then his own, and then let out a long sigh of relief, "The fever is finally gone."
Bei Xiuyan saw that her eyes were dark green and her face was haggard. He knew that she must have stayed up all night to take care of him, and her eyes were filled with distress.
At this time, the neighing of war horses was heard outside, and Shen Ruzhou was suddenly frightened. He saw Beixiu Yan, who had not recovered from serious injuries, getting into trouble, "It should be someone from Beiliao, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Bei Xiuyan glanced outside the cave and saw the corpses of the Bei Liao soldiers intercepted last night. A gleam flashed in his eyes, "Let's pretend to be Bei Liao's wounded soldiers and go out."
"This is a good idea." Shen Ruzhou brought two sets of Bei Liao soldier's clothes to change into with Bei Xiu Yan, and helped him walk down the mountain.
After walking a few steps, I met Beiliao soldiers.
When the soldiers saw that they were among their own people, they didn't ask any questions. They even helped call a carriage and let them go back to the military camp with other wounded soldiers to recover.
Shen Ruzhou was very curious when he saw many wounded soldiers sitting in the car. He listened carefully to their conversation and found out that Beiliao's attack on Beijing City was defeated yesterday. Many people here were injured during the attack.
Shen Ruzhou felt happy and whispered in Bei Xiuyan's ear: "We won the battle and Beijing City was defended."
Beixiu Yan was noncommittal, his face calm, and he only nodded slightly in response.
Shen Ruzhou pushed his arm and curled his lips with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you react at all? It seemed like it was expected."
Bei Xiuyan chuckled lightly, looking as if he was mature enough.
"Beijing City is not only impregnable, but it will also make it impossible for them to come back!"
The two arrived at the wounded barracks. Shen Ruzhou first settled the injured Beixiu Yan, and then found a medicine jar to prepare medicine.
At this time, someone heard an order: "All the wounded soldiers present are going to mow the grass by the North Lake."
After hearing the order, every wounded soldier began to complain.
"Everyone is seriously injured, how can we still be allowed to work?"
There were shouts one after another, and the ordering soldiers impatiently whipped their whips on the pillars. With a "pop", the camp immediately became quiet.
"This is the king's order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
After the orderly soldier finished speaking, he had some lawn mowing tools thrown at the door and urged the wounded soldiers to go out to work.
Everyone reluctantly got up and walked to the door.
Shen Ruzhou looked at Bei Xiuyan's pale face and felt heartbroken. He whispered in his ear: "My lord, is your body okay? If not, I can use drugs..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Beixiu Yan, "Don't act rashly. Let's go along and see what Mu Zheng wants to do."
"But your injury..." Shen Ruzhou looked at Bei Xiuyan worriedly. He was injured to save herself, and she felt very sorry.
"It's okay, I can hold on." Bei Xiuyan's face was as calm and calm as usual, which made Shen Ruzhou feel relieved.
On the other side, the messenger began to urge impatiently, "Those two inside, hurry up."
Seeing this, Shen Ruzhou did not dare to delay any longer. He supported Bei Xiuyan and followed everyone to the lake.
Everyone started to work, and Bei Xiuyan also picked up the sickle and pretended to cut.
Shen Ruzhou knelt down, tied the grass and put it into the bamboo basket, while identifying it carefully, "This is Hucao grass. The rhizomes are hard. It is not suitable for making bedding or burning for heating. What on earth does the King of Northern Liao want to do?" ?”
