Hello Chang'an Chapter 623

 Next, just as Li Suining expected, when the pursuers behind him followed the mountain road, they were blocked for the most part without any accident.

This mountain road was winding and narrow, and it was impossible for two horses to run parallel. The Beidi army chasing behind them could only pass through in sequence. Sheng's army took advantage of the opportunity of traveling in front, or lurked at the corner to ambush them with spears, or fired arrows to block them. .

People from the Beidi Army in front kept falling. Although the scope of casualties was destined to be limited, the fallen Beidi Army and their horses effectively blocked the steps behind them. When Li Suining led his men out of the mountain road, he made an appointment with the Beidi Army who came out in time. There were only about two hundred people.

The horse's hooves quickly stepped onto the glacier.

This section of the river is about dozens of paces wide. The river is covered with snow and ice. The ice is hard enough for carriages and horses to pass through. However, as more than a hundred war horses galloped past, cracks appeared on the ice.

Although the river is long, only this small section can lead to the path on the other side. There is no road on the other side of the river, and there are jagged and rugged rocks everywhere.

As Ashina Tire also led his troops to follow, the cracks in the overwhelmed ice soon turned into cracks. Some horses' hooves sank into the biting ice water. The horses neighed and struggled, causing the entire ice surface to shake and tremble.

Ashna Tilie, who had already taken the lead in crossing the river, changed his expression and quickly ordered the soldiers on the opposite side to choose a detour. He led the less than a hundred soldiers who barely crossed the river and continued to pursue Sheng's army.

The road ahead gradually opened up, and in the vast white snowfield, it could be seen that Sheng's army suddenly divided into two groups, heading in opposite directions to the left and right.

Ashina Tilie focused his attention for a moment and ordered the pursuit to be divided into two lines. He led his troops to pursue to the left and strictly ordered: "No one from the Sheng army is allowed to leave alive today!"

Li Suining is in the team on the left.

Ashina Tilie was able to accurately determine where she was. In addition to visually observing her figure and horse from a distance, it also seemed to come from the natural locking of the prey's scent.

Sheng's army's horses were trapped in the mountains for many days. It was difficult for them to outrun the powerful Beidi horses in this severe winter snowfield.

As the distance between the two sides shortened, the crossbows came into use. When they got closer, the crossbows were replaced by long spears and knives for close combat.

There were only a few dozen people on both sides, but Ashna Tire was not afraid at all.

The subordinates who were circling behind would always arrive one after another, and even if the number was equal, he was confident that all these mighty troops would die here!

A Shengjun general held a ring-shou sword in his hand, blocked the scimitar from a Beidi army, and shouted with all his strength: "...I can protect myself, Your Highness, please leave quickly!"

Li Suining saw the right opportunity, and after knocking off a Beidi soldier, he put away his gun and galloped away on horseback.

Upon seeing this, Ashina Tilie sneered contemptuously, raised his sword and galloped in pursuit, with only one general following him, and he left the rest behind to deal with these powerful troops.

But before he could run too far, sharp arrows from the army from behind struck him, knocking off his horse the general who was following Ashina Tilie.

Ashina Tilie gritted his teeth and ran quickly to avoid the sharp arrows behind him. From time to time he tilted his body or looked back and raised his sword to block. It was not until he walked on a diagonal path that he was able to eliminate the danger behind him.

To Ashina Tilie's surprise, Li Suining's horse galloped all the way and even escaped his sight several times.

However, the traces of the horses' hooves could not be covered up. After running for dozens of miles, the horses on both sides gradually became tired. Ashna Tilie finally caught up with the black figure in front of him.

The mountains in front blocked the way, and he was finally exhausted when he returned, foaming at the mouth. After Li Suining dismounted, he almost fell down in the snow like a soldier who had completed his mission.

Li Suining stroked its head gratefully: "Thank you very much. Goodbye."

From the beginning, Li Suining was certain that among all the war horses, only Gui Xian could bring her here safely. He was as outstanding and brave as his father, Luo Huo, back in the day.

The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and the wind and snow became denser. Li Suining stood still and drew his bow, and fired three arrows from the bowstring.

Ashina Tilie suddenly reined in the horse, and when the horse's hooves were raised, he blocked two arrows with his sword, and the remaining arrow hit the horse under him. The horse neighed and struggled, Ashina Tilie jumped off the horse's back, fur boots He stepped **** the thick snow, leaving broad footprints.

The horse behind him fell to the ground. Ashina Tilie did not look back. He only looked at the mountain wall behind Li Suining and her horse. He held a knife and slowly approached her. He said: "Your Highness, you are determined to decide life and death in a single fight, but you don't have to do this." You took the trouble to bring me here, and if you open your mouth, how can I not fulfill it?"

"It's different. I'm afraid that you will regret asking for help when you are defeated, so I chose this place as your burial place." Li Suining threw away the long bow and slowly drew his sword: "If you have any last words, I can help you bring back the King of Beidi. court."

"A good suggestion." Ashina Tilie raised the corners of his mouth, stopped, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "It's a pity that the ownerless head can't speak!"

Before he could even finish his words, he had already raised his knife and started to kill.

The sky is dark, and the sky is so low that it seems to be pressing on the top of the mountain, giving people the illusion that when the rocks cannot support it, the sky will fall down, burying everything in the world in this boundless darkness and paleness.

With the sound of swords clashing, the miserable day and earth gradually took on color. The color was crimson, like red plum blossoms in full bloom.

But this is the far north. There is no faint fragrance of red plums, only the smell of blood.

Before Li Suining's injuries could fully recover, the bandaged wounds cracked and oozed blood along with the new wounds.

The swords clashed, sparking dazzling golden light, but it was not enough to dispel the cold air.

The power of the knife was repeatedly skillfully deflected by Li Suining. When Ashina Tilie used the knife again, he chose to hold the knife with both hands this time. When he got close, he slashed down with a force that Li Suining could not resist!

Li Suining ducked and took a few steps back. There were advantages and disadvantages in using the sword with all his strength. The sword could not be easily withdrawn and changed direction immediately without seeing anything. Ashenati fiercely slashed through the air, and the tip of the sword fell into the snow. At this moment, Li Suining, who had been retreating, suddenly flew forward and quickly stepped on his sword. As light and fast as a swallow, he swung the sword horizontally to meet him!

The sword wind was fierce, approaching Ashina Tilie's face. His pupils shrank suddenly, but his reaction was extremely fast. He suddenly withdrew his left hand holding the sword, and he could block the sword blade with his hard wrist armor, blocking the murderous intention. Within easy reach.

The sword and the wrist armor were pressed against each other. His wrist strength was extremely stable. Li Suining was still holding the sword against each other. With the help of his strength to push away the long knife stuck in the snow, he suddenly lifted up again and used his left arm. She wrapped her arms around his head, suddenly raised her right knee, and slammed it into his head and face.

This blow made Ashina Tilie dizzy for a moment. He seemed to hear the sound of broken cheek bones, and his eyes alternated between black and white.

In shock and anger, he vigorously shook off Li Suining's grip, lifted the long knife from bottom to top, and struck it. Li Suining spun around and fell to one side. When he fell to the ground, he inserted the sun in his hand into the snow and stopped dead in his tracks.

Ashina Tilie raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and nose, squeezed out a laugh from his teeth, and said truthfully: "Yes, his skill is as good as his courage!"

"If you were a man, I might not be able to defeat you..." He raised his eyes to look at the woman standing up with a sword, and his eyes seemed to flash with lightning under the mask: "It's a pity that you are just a girl!"

He has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he knows better than anyone that under the overwhelming power, no matter how many skills you have, it can only be called an outstanding trick!

Ashina Tilie has raised his sword to attack again. He is extremely powerful, but his body is not cumbersome. The long sword breaks Li Suining's offensive again and again, until the swords are against each other, there is no way to avoid it. Li Suining holds the sword with both hands to resist, and is blocked. The huge force forced him to retreat continuously. The two of them had passed a hundred moves so far, and Li Suining's strength was almost exhausted. Against such an opponent, she was destined to be unable to retain any strength every time she made a move, while her strong and powerful enemy became more and more courageous as he fought.

Li Suining made repeated killing moves, but the killing moves used on others were never enough to cause fatal damage to Ashina Tilie.

He is like a giant beast, with a powerful body and sharp eyes.

Blocking the sword, Li Suining was about to be forced in front of the stone wall. When she was about to have no way to retreat, she suddenly tilted her sword, kicked off in the air, and stepped onto the rock behind her. With this fierce force, she pushed Ashina back. Tilie forced him to take two steps back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she withdrew her long sword, moved her feet, quickly drew the sword from the side, and stabbed Ashina Tilie.

Ashina Tilie leaned back to avoid it, holding a knife in one hand to stabilize his body. When he straightened up, he quickly kicked out and swept diagonally towards Li Suining.

This kick landed on Li Suining's shoulder, with a force that was almost enough to break her arm bones, causing her to fly out hard and fall into the snow.

Before he could get up, the long knife had arrived.

Li Suining rolled around in the snow several times, and the long knife that could kill someone with one strike scraped her body several times and sank into the snow.

Ashina Tilie leaned over to attack again. When Li Suining stood up with his sword, he raised his leg and kicked Ashina Tilie's jaw, but he barely moved. He held Li Suining's leg with his backhand, using his strength. The advantage almost lifted her up and threw her to the ground hard.

Li Suining's whole body was covered with snow. She leaned on her sword and stood up again. Before she could stand up completely, Ashina Tilie threw out a short knife in his hand and raised his foot to kick. The short knife flew quickly and stabbed into Li Suining's left leg. The leg immediately sank into the snow.

Seeing Ashina Tilie's attack, Li Suining held his sword and blocked it until he ran out of strength and suddenly fell down. However, he still held the sword hilt tightly to resist the sinking knife that was almost approaching his neck.

As Ashina Tilie lowered his body and approached, Li Suining realized that he was unable to support himself, so he moved his body with all his strength to avoid it. In the next moment, the sword and the knife fell close to her ear, and the blade of the knife fell on her side. A shallow scar was left on his neck.

Ashina Tilie challenged Li Suining with his sword and threw out Li Suining's sword.

The next moment, he straightened up and stepped heavily on her dislocated left shoulder, like ruthlessly crushing a bird with broken wings into the snow.

He looked down at her, preparing to lift the knife again, while a cheerful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to send the long knife directly into the chest of this "bird". If she still dared to struggle to her death, then she would only die an even more ugly death -

For some reason, he felt that she would not accept death obediently, so this snowy field could only become a broken place for her, just as broken as Chong Yue was back then.

Ashina Tilie became inexplicably excited. Just when he was about to bring the most **** ending to this hunt, in the flash of lightning, he suddenly heard the woman whose face was half missing in the snow say: "Ah Schnati Lie..."

This was the first time he heard his name coming from this woman's mouth since the fight. It was normal for her to know his full name, but this voice, this tone -? !

Just when Ashina Tilie felt an inexplicable and repulsive familiarity, the weak voice asked: "...Do you still remember this voice?"

The woman's dark eyebrows were covered with snow, but Ashina Tilie could clearly see that there was a calm and mysterious smile in those eyes that did not know whether to live or die. For a moment, it seemed as if the world was turned upside down, and he seemed to be trapped. The weakling she looked down upon.

What is she laughing at? what sound? What the **** is she trying to do?

During this brief moment of thoughts, Ashina Tilie suddenly saw a bone whistle as long as a thumb appearing in her right hand. Soon, the bone whistle was blown against her blood-stained lips.

The whistle was melodious and loud, and the music played was music that did not belong to Beidi.

After hearing this sound, Ashina Tilie's eyes suddenly changed, and the long knife he raised slightly fell uncontrollably into the snow. The world was spinning in a trance, and he was instantly pulled back to that night seventeen years ago.

That night...he was attracted by this sound!

He followed the sound and stepped across the bonfire. Behind the king's tent, about a hundred paces away, he saw a figure sitting on a stone.

The music had stopped, the surrounding area was illuminated clearly by the moonlight, and he knew who it was just by looking at the figure from a distance.

She rarely wears their clothes and spends most of her time in plain clothes. Perhaps because of this, even though she became his father's step-queen, no one would really regard her as a queen, but only as a queen. Be the princess of Dasheng.

This Princess Dasheng is not treated favorably. She is often injured. She speaks very few words and never conflicts with others. But even so, she still makes people think that she is like a bamboo that cannot be bent.

What I have to admit is that she demonstrated Dasheng's magnanimity and pride very well. That thing is engraved in the bones and blood and cannot be easily broken by external forces.

The men in the royal court often spoke dirty words to her, but she never retorted with shame or anger. At most, she looked at those men without any emotion. Under her calm gaze, each of them seemed so vulgar and boring.

So she was particularly disliked.

He also hated her, but it was hard not to admit that he had some unknown thoughts towards her.

As a young man, he has been recognized by almost everyone. He is the most outstanding son of his father. One day the entire Khanate will be his, and every plant and tree here will surrender under his feet, including this Princess Dasheng...especially This Dasheng Princess!

Those indifferent eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, always appeared in his dreams, as if they were a territory that he had not conquered.

He drank a lot that night, and under the influence of alcohol, he walked towards her.

Before he could touch her, she stood up, took a few steps back, and looked at him quietly.

Those eyes were undoubtedly extremely ignorant. He raised his eyebrows to hide his anger and pulled out the dagger from his waist. The exquisite dagger was inlaid with various gems. It was given to him by his father, and in many cases Years ago, his grandfather also gave this sword to his father.

The dagger itself was a threat, and what he really wanted to show off was the identity that the dagger symbolized—he would be the next king of the Khanate.

He was prepared to see hesitation, consideration, even fear in that calm face.

He was very interested in this, but before he could see anything, an accident happened suddenly.

It was that accident that ruined everything for him. (End of chapter)
