Chapter 163 The Secret of Us 2
"Did Zhang Yan take the wrong medicine? Why did he try to stop Dong Zhuo's men?"
In Xiangyuan County, Yufuluo, the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, asked in confusion after hearing the soldiers' report.
Yu Fuluo's brother Huchuquan said, "Perhaps they don't know this is Dong Zhuo's army and are only here to rob money."
"It doesn't seem like it. If it was for money, why would they bother chasing them? Are they just bored?"
Huochuquan spread his hands and said, "Who knows? It's none of our business anyway, so let's just watch the fun!"
Yu Fuluo thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Why don't we go and help Dong Zhuo's men?"
"Why? That would mean we're going against Heishan. We can't afford to offend Zhang Yan, the big boss."
Yu Fuluo said, "Dong Zhuo has been appointed Prime Minister and has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Last time, Lü Bu also helped us kill the traitor King Xiu Tu. If we do Dong Zhuo a favor this time, we can ask him to send troops to help us recapture the royal court. When we return to Hetao, we can take care of Zhang Yan and Li Yan."
"Is this... okay?"
"Why not? Dong Zhuo has many capable fighters under his command. If he sends a detachment of troops over, it would be easy for him to recapture the royal court."
At this point, Yu Fuluo immediately stood up and walked out while shouting to Huochequan, "Quickly organize the troops and follow me to defeat the enemy army."
Twenty miles outside Xiangyuan City, Guan Hai and his men were chasing Li Su and others towards the Zhuozhang River, but they heard from the soldiers behind that the Xiongnu Yu Fuluo was coming with a thousand soldiers.
What is Yu Furuo doing here at this time? He is not here to help them kill Li Su, right?
Guan Hai looked at the direction Li Su and the others fled and said to Du Fei, "You take two hundred crossbowmen to chase them, and I will deal with Yu Fuluo."
Since these Huns want to meddle in other people's business, let's send them to hell together.
Yu Furuo's troops arrived quickly. Seeing that the enemy army had dispatched a group of people to chase Dong Zhuo's men, he also dispatched a team to chase the enemy army. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Guan Hai and his men.
From afar, Yufuluo shouted, "I am Yufuluo, the Khan of the Xiongnu. Why are you killing the Prime Minister's men? Could you please spare those few dozen riders today?"
It would be best if we could avoid fighting with Zhang Yan's men. This way we would be doing Dong Zhuo a favor and not offend Heishan.
Guan Hai sneered, "What a great face Hu Gou has!"
Seeing that the other party did not express his opinion, Yu Fuluo could not help but get anxious, so he sent another horse to report that there was a woman among the people being hunted. Yu Fuluo immediately thought of Lu Bu who had been a captain in Bingzhou some time ago. The woman was most likely the daughter of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's wife.
If the person died, he would lose the favor, so Yu Furuo immediately ordered his soldiers to charge.
The two sides soon started fighting. Although Guan Hai had only 500 people, all of them were veterans of the battlefield. It was no problem for them to deal with Yu Furuo's mere 1,000 people. Less than half an hour after the fight started, Yu Furuo was frightened by the powerful fighting power of these bandits. He didn't care about Dong Zhuo's daughter at all, and fled back to Xiangyuan City with the remaining hundreds of people.
At the same time, on the bank of the Zhuozhang River, Li Su looked at the surrounding bandit army with a look of despair on his face.
There are only a few dozen people left around him now, and behind them is the muddy Zhang River, so there is no way to escape.
"What should I do? Zi Zheng, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..." Dong Qing's face turned pale and he burst into tears.
Li Su looked at the river flowing behind him and immediately said, "Jump into the river!"
"No, I don't want..."
It was winter, and if you jumped in, you would freeze to death even if you didn't drown.
Li Su didn't give her time to hesitate. He took off his heavy armor and said to the few dozen remaining soldiers, "You hold out for a while. If I survive, I will take care of your family."
As he spoke, he carried Dong Qing off the horse and jumped into the icy river. The surging river quickly drowned the two of them.
Du Fei and others followed closely, and the dozens of soldiers on the shore were shot and killed after only a few breaths of resistance.
Du Fei did not see Li Su and Dong Qing, and guessed that they had jumped into the river. He hurriedly ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows into the water along the upstream and downstream of the river. A few miles downstream, blood surged up from the river. Du Fei ordered his soldiers to go into the water to look for them, but no bodies were found.
"Maybe the current was too fast and washed away." said a soldier.
This is the upper reaches of the Zhuozhang River. The area it flows through is mostly mountainous, and the water flow is very turbulent. It can rush a long way in a short time. The crowd searched along the downstream again, but they did not find anyone until dark.
It was inconvenient to search for people at night, and this was the territory of Yu Furuo and Bai Bo's army. Guan Hai was worried that Yu Furuo would send troops to harass again, and he was sure that Li Su and the other two had no chance of survival, so he led his troops back to Taihang Mountain.
…………
"Cough cough cough..."
More than 30 miles downstream of the Zhuozhang River, Li Su pulled Dong Qing to the shore and made him lie down and cough constantly. Dong Qing's face was terribly pale and he was already unconscious.
Although he was being swept by the river, Li Su had to pull Dong Qing and float to the surface to breathe. During this time, he accidentally drank a lot of river water. He was almost exhausted at this moment. Li Su took a while to regain his strength and pulled Dong Qing to climb ashore with great effort.
The river water was icy cold in the winter, but Li Su had been swimming in the water and didn't feel it much. But when he climbed ashore and was blown by the cold wind, he immediately felt like his whole body was frozen.
His teeth were chattering like frying beans. He turned Dong Qing over and pressed her chest hard. Dong Qing spat out a few mouthfuls of water but was still unconscious. Li Su touched her nose and found her breath was very weak. His heart sank.
Li Su walked back to the river bank, broke off a bundle of dry reed stalks and reed flowers, and pulled a lot of dry grass nearby. He found a place sheltered from the wind under a big tree and built a small nest with branches and reed stalks. He quickly took off Dong Qing's wet clothes, leaving only a small underwear, and surrounded her with dry grass and dry reed flowers.
At this time, he didn't care about the differences between men and women. He took off his wet clothes and hid in the hay nest. He hugged Dong Qing's cold body tightly, trying to warm her with his body temperature.
After all, Li Su was a martial artist, so his body temperature gradually recovered after staying in the haystack for a while. Dong Qing was mainly unconscious due to the cold, and was held in Li Su's arms to keep him warm. He woke up in a daze in the middle of the night.
Seeing herself being held by Li Su with almost no clothes on, Dong Qing felt embarrassed and angry. She struggled slightly to get out, but Li Su held her even tighter.
"Your clothes are all wet. You will freeze to death if you go out. Besides, your calf is injured." Li Su said in a hoarse voice.
He had already recovered. There was not much difference between Dong Qing's tight clothes being on and not wearing them. Holding such a sexy beauty, he admitted that he had some thoughts.
"You, you put me down. No, you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today." Dong Qing also faced the reality at this time. For the sake of his life, he could only compromise.
Li Su put her down from his legs. When she left Li Su's warm body, Dong Qing couldn't help but shiver again.
The nest was extremely narrow, and the two of them sat side by side, leaning against the tree trunk.
"I know, this is our secret!"
Li Su turned his head to look at her, lowering his voice, his lips almost touching her earlobe, his tone seven parts ambiguity and three parts intoxication.
The man's warm breath blew beside her ear, and Dong Qing's ears quickly turned red. "Stay away from me..."
Although they were already married, Dong Qing and Lu Bu had never been so close, and she had never seen Lu Bu naked in front of her. This was the first time she saw a man's body. Dong Qing couldn't help but think of the picture books her mother showed her before she got married, and her face turned red.
"This place is so small, how far is it from here?" Li Su said softly.
"Then, then you, you..." Dong Qing suddenly felt that he couldn't speak at all. He didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or cold, but his body began to tremble slightly.
"I, I what? Qing'er..."
The word "Qing'er" made Dong Qing's breathing tense, "You, you shouldn't call me like that..."
"Qing'er, Qing'er..."
As Li Su spoke, he put his left hand around Dong Qing's shoulders, placed his right hand on her thigh, and pressed his lips against her ear, calling her name over and over again. Dong Qing's breathing became rapid, and she had no strength left in her body. There seemed to be a strange desire dominating her in her heart, and she was half-heartedly picked up by Li Su again.
In the howling cold wind, a man and a woman are alone, and the fire is burning...
