Chapter 373 He Did Not Run Away
Chapter 373 He Did Not Run Away
He walked over, picked her up with his hands and threw her up, experiencing the feeling of flying once again!
Bu Lingzi disliked her, a foreigner, from the start.
She had barely settled into her seat when she slapped the horse's rump, startling it into a galloping run.
Wu Ziyan didn't even pull the reins; he just gripped the saddle and shouted, "Help!"
The soldiers who had gathered around to watch the spectacle covered their mouths and laughed.
They also knew Wu Ziyan's identity, but they never expected that their fourth prince of the Wu Dynasty would be so weak!
"Forget it, I might as well die... it's better to die!"
She stopped shouting and slowly pulled on the reins with one hand and the saddle with the other.
With my knees slightly bent, I stood on the horse, humph!
Trying to assassinate her? She's got the protagonist's halo! At most, she'll suffer twice the pain, but she won't die!
Yelü Hanxuan whistled, and the horse seemed to understand his commands.
Gradually slow down and return to his side.
"Bu Lingzi, take the five-army lashes upon yourself!"
Bu Lingzi was very indignant, but there was nothing she could do; she had indeed intended to play a trick on her.
Tears streamed down Wu Ziyan's face as the wildly galloping horse jolted him awake, but there was no fear in his eyes.
Yelü Hanxuan didn't say a word, and reached out to take her off the horse.
As a result, Wu Ziyan spurred the horse's belly, and the horse neighed and ran off again.
This time, however, they ran towards the camp gate.
Yelü Hanxuan thought she was trying to run away.
But there were wooden spikes at the entrance, and the horse dared not cross them.
Who knew that his inexplicable confidence would be immediately proven wrong?
Wu Ziyan didn't know any horsemanship, but horses also have intelligence and are also human beings.
It won't let itself crash and die there for nothing.
At the critical moment, he leaped directly over the wooden spike.
Everyone was stunned; it was like watching a circus performance.
"Chase!"
Why are you still standing there? Everyone's chasing after them! Even the soldiers on horseback in the drill ground are chasing after them.
The problem was that we got stuck on the wooden spikes at the entrance. It seems that not all horses are intelligent; most of them don't dare to jump.
Wu Ziyan was in a great mood, but she hadn't originally planned to run away.
Seeing the people chasing after her, she was even a little confused, wondering what they were doing!
She turned her horse around and rode it back to the camp. Those who had come to chase her were a little confused, so she didn't plan to run away.
Yelü Hanxuan didn't say a word when he saw her return.
For a fleeting moment, his heart clenched as he watched him run out of the camp.
But seeing him turn his horse around and come back, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He simply held the horse silently, deciding never to let her ride it again.
They pulled her off the horse; her hands were cold, her face was cold, and she had snot in her nose…
"Don't run."
"I still have some self-awareness. This area within a ten-mile radius is all your territory. I can't run away even if I want to. Why would I do something that's thankless and exhausting?"
"That's good."
"Besides, I don't need to run at all. The people who are going to save me should already be on their way. You'll be crying and clinging to my legs when they arrive."
"Shut up, I didn't tell you to speak."
Sometimes, Yelü Hanxuan's words could suffocate a person. If he didn't want to say anything, then so be it. She pinched his forearm hard.
Lunch was quite plentiful.
But there was that familiar soup that she really didn't want to drink anymore.
Yelü Hanxuan first pushed the soup in front of her.
"Drink the soup."
Wu Ziyan had already picked up a piece of mutton with her chopsticks, but she ignored him and put it directly into her mouth.
"I told you to drink the soup, not eat the vegetables."
"I'm eating meat! Hehehe!"
Right in front of him, Wu Ziyan didn't use chopsticks; instead, she grabbed a piece of mutton with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth.
"What can you do to me?!" she seemed to say.
"Drink soup!"
That look seemed irresistible; after all, she didn't want to be forced to drink it.
Holding a bowl, but that's not a bowl, it's a dipper!
She looked aggrieved, gurgled, and then hiccuped...
"Have a meal."
The mutton she had just eaten was placed in front of her.
He thought she liked it, so he thoughtfully put two slices into her bowl.
Just then, an urgent voice came from outside: "Report!"
"The garrison commander of Beiyang is already ten miles away with his troops!"
Wu Ziyan was shocked. He came so quickly, and she hadn't even nurtured a budding romance yet.
Who is the commander?
Yelü Hanxuan was still in no hurry to serve food to Wu Ziyan.
"It looks like Situ Chuyu and a man I don't recognize!"
Wu Ziyan knew these people had poor eyesight, so it must be Chu Qiu who had arrived. The unfamiliar man was Huang Ziliang.
Why did he come to the front lines instead of staying firmly in the rear?
"Their only goal is to take you, you little dwarf, but I won't let them succeed. Steal you? Die!"
This person is definitely too immersed in the role; I don't know what kind of weird books they've been reading!
"Why don't you take me with you? I won't run away. Just put a bunch of shackles on me. That way, we can solve the problem without bloodshed."
"Fighting and killing are too terrible, I can't stand the sight of blood."
"Okay, I'll take you there and show you how I thwart them!"
Chu Qiu quickly arrived at their city gate, but there was no one on the gate.
Wu Ziyan and the others had just finished lunch and were leisurely making their way to the city gate.
Their men began shouting, "You Beirong people kidnapped our prince for no reason, and you're just detaining him like this without even discussing anything!"
"What Your Highness, Your Majesty? How would we know!"
The person upstairs got annoyed by the shouting from below and replied impatiently.
But after a while, the city gate opened, and Yelü Hanxuan appeared on the city gate tower on horseback, along with Wu Ziyan.
Looking downstairs, it was indeed Chu Qiu and Huang Ziliang.
She can't let them fight; if someone gets hurt, it'll be difficult for her to handle.
Downstairs, they saw her too. Seeing that she was alive and well, they were relieved. Finally, Chu Qiu's sword was pointed directly at Yelü Hanxuan!
"Speak! What are your conditions for releasing His Highness?"
"She is no longer your princess, but my pet!"
Wu Ziyan really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Could you please stop saying such cheesy lines?!
Wu Ziyan didn't even dare to look at Chu Qiu and the others' expressions.
But the two guards around her didn't seem very bright either.
He turned and ran down the city wall, but there was still a distance between the bottom of the wall and the entrance.
No one knows what argument they had on the way, but when he ran to the door, Huang Ziliang had already dismounted and his expression was resolute.
Chu Qiu also drew his sword, about to charge at Yelü Hanxuan.
At this moment, the advantage of strength became apparent; Yelü Hanxuan's spear made Chu Qiu's hand go numb.
In that split second, feeling as if he could take the other's life at any moment, Wu Ziyan ran for his life.
They were so engrossed in their battle that they didn't notice her at all, until Yelü Hanxuan's spear was about to pierce Huang Ziliang's chest!
Wu Ziyan spoke quickly and dramatically, blocking Huang Ziliang's path.
That shot seemed to indicate a determination to kill Huang Ziliang.
I don't know what he said that angered Yelü Hanxuan, that made him want to kill him like this!
