173. Life and death are boundless
The bright moon tonight is beautiful and charming, but in my eyes, it is a blood-red color.
It may have been because of the blood that was slowly flowing from my forehead, but when the blood dripped down my forehead, my eyes narrowed slightly due to the stinging pain, and the black shadows that were constantly besieging not far in front of me gradually became blurred.
I gasped and took a few breaths, trying to calm my heaving chest a little, still holding the emerald green phoenix pendant in my hand, it stayed so quietly in my palm, even if it was stained red by my blood, it still bloomed its unique fluorescence in the dark.
Looking at the phoenix pendant in my hand, I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled.
Whew, it's okay, I almost lost such an important thing, if Wan'er knew, she would definitely be very angry!
The faint pain in my back suddenly became more and more intense, I couldn't help frowning and gasping, I didn't dare to reach out to touch my back anymore, because my shirt was already soaked with blood, and there was the blood of the person who wanted to kill me, the blood of the person who sacrificed his life to protect me, but more, it should be my own blood.
Just because, the knife behind me almost killed me......
I thought that even if I hadn't escaped to this desperate place, I might not have lasted long, because of the excessive blood loss, my whole body began to be weak, dizzy, and my limbs were cold, and I really couldn't walk anymore.
What's more, now that I am on the cliff, I am already at the end of the road, and there is no escape.
Suddenly, the body staggered a few steps, and the small pebbles mentioned in the heels gradually rolled down to the bottom of the cliff, hitting the cliff and making a cluster of sounds, and then drowned into silence......
I couldn't help but sigh, trying to restrain my somewhat loose distraction, trying to see the figure of the group of people who had already surrounded me.
There are pursuers in front, and cliffs in the back, and the forward will definitely become the ghost of this group of people, if you retreat, even if you don't know whether there is a rocky beach or a water flow under this cliff, at least, you can increase the hope of surviving by a small half.
I said, I want to live, live to return to Wan'er!
So, even in such a desperate situation, I want to keep this promise......
Unconsciously, he took a few steps closer to the edge of the cliff, and with the last bit of strength, he cut off the thin rope on Feng Pei's sword one after another and wrapped it back into his wrist, and after tying a dead knot tightly, he held Feng Pei firmly in his palm.
The jade pendant ironed and moistened my hands, making me feel like a warm current in my heart......
Originally, this piece of phoenix pendant was worn around the neck, but what I didn't expect was that the sharp knife of a black-clothed master who suddenly appeared, not only made a trace on my back, but also cut the rope that tied Feng Pei, and Feng Pei fell out of my arms at that difficult moment.
At that moment, I didn't think about it, I gave up the long sword in my hand, my whole body pounced, and after grabbing the piece of phoenix pendant with my hand, the whole person threw myself to the ground, ignoring the knife wound behind me, I stood up with all my strength, and ran forward frantically......
I don't know if God was too kind or too cruel to let me escape here, and I finally didn't have to run anymore.
Those soldiers used their lives to fulfill their duties, and I don't want to give my life and death to these jackals in front of me, my life and death are entrusted to God, if there is a rocky beach under the cliff, then God wants to destroy my Gaochen, I have nothing to complain about; if there is a rapid water flow under the cliff, then it is a pity for the heavens, giving me a glimmer of life, giving me the opportunity to continue to do what I have not done, even if there is little hope, I also want to escape from death, and make a way out!
The people who chased and intercepted me all the way saw that I was already a turtle in an urn, and there was fish on the board, but they didn't press further, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
And my guess is not wrong, what they are waiting for is the person who secretly hurt me behind him, when this person slowly walked out of the crowd and stood against me in a very conspicuous position, I couldn't help but be a little curious, who could be such a despicable and shameless person who only hurts people behind his back?!
When I fled all the way, I was facing the moon, and now that I was standing at the edge of the cliff, I turned around and looked at the group of people who were chasing me, and I became standing with my back to the moon, and the figures of those people were more clearly visible in the moonlight.
It's just a pity that this group of people are all dressed in night clothes, and their faces can't be seen clearly, and the leader is wearing a hooded black robe, although he tries his best to hide his face under the hood, but the corner of his official uniform is still exposed to the black robe, which I can peep into the corner or two.
I can't help frowning, that kind of clothing is clearly the unique black official uniform worn by the imperial history, in this way, is this person also from the imperial history platform?
Why do I always feel that I have seen this person's figure somewhere, and the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes......
Eventually, I couldn't help but ask first, saying:
"Who are you?"
I saw that the man unhurriedly drew a hand from his black robe, and in his hand he held a crossbow that had already been set up with a bowstring, and pointed the crossbow at me without hesitation.
"Master Pony, you'll never know who I am......"
The man couldn't help but let out a cold smile, and then he slashed the machine neatly, and the arrow shot at me quickly, and the moment it hit my heart, my pupils suddenly constricted, and my whole body fell backwards in a slump, and behind me, there was a bottomless dark abyss.
At the moment when my body floated in mid-air, I suddenly felt that my whole body had to be fluttering, and my thoughts began to fly far away, and when my consciousness was about to fall into complete darkness, my eyes still caught a glimpse of the face that was trying to hide in the hood, and when the man's appearance was illuminated by the gray moonlight, his appearance suddenly appeared in my eyes, and my face unconsciously showed a frightened expression.
"How...... Probably ......"
These words overflowed from my mouth intermittently, and my whole being was like a kite with a broken string, and my consciousness was lost at this moment, and my figure gradually buried in the terrible dark abyss, and I could no longer find a trace.
......
When the dust had settled, a burly man walked out of the crowd, as if he had been hidden in the crowd for a long time, only to see this person wearing a ring knife around his waist, slowly walked to the black-robed man, and then respectfully saluted and said:
"The last general, Shen Yu, meet the prison army!"
The black-robed man sneered a few times, then lifted his hood, and revealed his true face of Lushan in a grand manner.
I saw that under the hood, there was a handsome and elegant face like a crown of jade, and the handsome face like a knife was unforgettable at first sight, but in the eyes like black jade, it shone with a cunning and cold cold light.
This person, not Gao Chen, who is it?!
No, it should be said that he has a handsome face like Gao Chen, but he is not the real Gao Chen, because compared to Gao Chen, who is as graceful and affectionate as a woman, gentle as jade, his heroic and ruthless aura as a man is more prominent......
From this moment on, he is the real Gao Chen, the overseer of the Eastern Expedition army appointed by the Northern Wei Imperial Court, and the captain of the horse of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!
......
'Gao Chen' made a gesture to help Shen Yu up, the evil charm of his mouth rose, and he raised his grace and power at the same time, and said lightly:
"General Shen doesn't need to be so polite, tomorrow you will follow this prison army back to Pusaka to join Yang Quan's army!"
Feeling the majesty and inability to resist in the tone of the person in front of him, Shen Yu became more and more respectful, nodded hurriedly and said yes:
"The last will be ordered!"
'Gao Chen' immediately laughed, casually ordered four people to give them an order, and said coldly:
"You have stayed here for the past few days to search for Gao Chen's body, and you are limited to three days to find his body, if you can't find it, you don't have to go back alive to recover your life. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
The four of them were silent, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they received the order, and immediately took the path to the bottom of the cliff to investigate.
Shen Yu saw that this person was so cautious, this Gao Chen was already at the end of his strong crossbow, and his life was short, and now he was not only shot in the chest, but also fell into this dark abyss, I am afraid that no matter how strong a man is, it is difficult to survive, let alone the Gao Chen who seems to be weak and unwinded!
Shen Yu couldn't help asking:
"It's all like this, are the prison guards still worried, is it possible for Gao Chen to live?"
'Gao Chen' shook his head indifferently and said with a smile:
"General Shen doesn't know, under this cliff is a deep pool, and this water is connected to the Han River, I am not afraid that Gao Chen is still alive, even if he falls off the cliff and is lucky not to die, the poison in my arrow will definitely kill him. The reason why I want to find his body is only because the Lord has strictly ordered him to explain that he must see people in life and see corpses in death!"
"I see. ”
After speaking, Shen Yu also smiled and stood aside obediently, not daring to disobey the person in front of him at will.
After all, the plan formulated by the Lord has just begun to be implemented, and the next qiē still needs the efforts of the people in front of him to make it happen!
'Gao Chen' then flicked his sleeves and strutted away, and his men followed suit, and soon the place returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened.
Tonight's moonlight is getting brighter and brighter, the breeze is blowing slowly, mild and comfortable, there is silence on the edge of the cliff, only the weeds are flying with the wind, every qiē looks so hazy and beautiful, except for the blood stains that stretch all the way on the ground to indicate that a bloody massacre has happened here just now, it is difficult to reverse the traces that someone has ever had......
Tonight will be a sleepless night for many people!
