Chapter Twenty-Four: I Was a Demon
Yan Qinghou rode a horse and wore silver armor. This armor is also the armor he has been wearing since Jiang Guo, and he has never changed it. In the Triple Alliance, you can tell where the soldiers are from by the way they dress. The Yongguo people all wear loose clothes and turbans around their heads. The people of Liangguo wear braids, and the knives they hold are scimitars.
Yan Qinghou walked at the forefront, followed by Mo Feixue.
"General Yan, there are less than ten miles ahead of Fushun City. Mo Feixue said to Yan Qinghou, and called Yan Qinghou "General Yan", it can be seen that Mo Feixue still maintains respect for Yan Qinghou in the army, and is not called like a friend. The person you like is by your side, and instead of using a nickname, you use the same name as everyone else, which is really indescribable. Mo Feixue has lived with this mood for more than ten years.
"Well, the scouts along the way have reported that there are no ambushes nearby, and it seems that the other party is preparing to defend the city. After this battle, whether it is successful or not, my wish can be fulfilled. Yan waited to answer Mo Feixue, only the battle situation in front of him in his words, but he turned a blind eye to the woman beside him who admired him, probably a straight man with advanced cancer.
It didn't take long for them to vaguely see the walls of Fushun City. Their troops were two miles away from the city gates, and they could clearly see the crowd standing on the city walls. But to Yan Qinghou's surprise, in the open space in front of the gate of Fushun City, there were actually a few people standing there. Judging by the way they dressed, they didn't look like people in the army. And one of the burly men seemed to be holding two people in his hands.
Yan Che finally waited for Yan Qinghou to appear. His eyes were a mixture of anticipation and disappointment, indescribable. He said to the wolf, "Wake them both up." ”
The wolf put the two women on the ground, snapped his fingers with his hand, and the two women woke up from their coma. When the young girl woke up, she looked around and saw two tall, powerful and strange-looking men standing beside her. Then I saw that the mother next to the strange man also got up from the ground and hurriedly crawled to her mother's side. As soon as the mother saw her daughter, she hurriedly took her in her arms. Looking around, I saw a large army gathering in the distance, and this was clearly a battlefield. She thought back to what had happened at home, and all she remembered was that she had seen a huge figure, knocked on the neck and then fainted. She looked back and saw two tall figures standing behind her, expressionless, one of them with green hair all over her body who seemed to be her captor.
The woman wanted to pick up her daughter and run away immediately, but Yan Che used her magic power to scare the woman. She knelt on the ground as if she had lost her soul, her hands losing strength on the ground. The daughter in her arms fell to the ground and shook her mother. Seeing that her mother did not react, the little girl immediately asked Yan Che: "What did you do to my mother!"
Yan Che was like a villain at this time, and said in a vicious tone: "Don't cry, don't scream." If you move, I'll kill your mother." ”
Yan Che's words were cold-blooded and ruthless, making us all unable to believe that a kind-hearted man who had inherited the blood of the Nuwa clan would say such words that would traumatize the young heart of a girl. The mother and daughter are Yan Qinghou's wife and daughter, the little girl's name is Yan Muran, and she is just over eleven years old. However, since she was a child, she has been educated by Yan Qingwei's military, and she has always been very sensible. Her father was not around, and she had no one to turn to, so she knew how to cooperate with Yan Che and sat silently by her mother's side.
The green wolf touched his chin behind Yan Che, because what Yan Che said just now was very fierce, and he didn't want the usual Yan Che style of speaking at all. In the past, Yan Che was very kind and kind, he clearly remembered that he was bullied by the demon people when he was a child, and it was he who stood up to fight for himself. He had never seen him so evil since he was a child, and he shook his head, not knowing what Yan Che was going to do next.
Yan Qinghou stared at the people in the clearing carefully, one of them was tall and mighty, and the person who was close to five meters tall was definitely the green wolf in the Warcraft clan. There is almost no human being who can be so burly. Then the man standing next to him, still wearing a cloak, should be the demon king Yan Che.
Yan Qinghou waved his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, and then Mo Feixue approached him and asked, "General Yan knows those people?"
Yan Qinghou nodded: "If you are not mistaken, it should be the king of the demon race." ”
"I can't imagine that the leader of the other party will come out single-handedly, so let me find out the truth. ”
Mo Feixue was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Qinghou.
"Don't be impulsive! You and I are not necessarily the opponents of the demons, and underestimating the enemy will only kill in vain. He was waiting there, maybe waiting for me. Since the other party is the leader of the enemy army, it is natural that I have to go to greet him. ”
After speaking, Yan Qinghou gently kicked the horse's belly and walked slowly towards Yan Che. Mo Feixue wanted to keep up, but Yan Qinghou just wanted to go alone.
Yan Qinghou walked closer and closer to Yan Che, and saw two women kneeling at Yan Che's feet. It wasn't until he could clearly see the two women on the ground that his expression finally couldn't hold on.
"Mu Ran!" Yan Qinghou called his daughter's name loudly, Yan Muran heard his father calling him, and happily stood up and shouted at Yan Qinghou: "Daddy, save me!"
Yan Muran wanted to run in the direction of Yan Qinghou, but Yan Che pressed a hand on her shoulder, preventing her from moving, and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't shout." If you get out of here, I'll kill your mother right away!"
Yan Muran was really scared this time, and could only look at his father with tears in his eyes. Yan Qinghou was so anxious this time that she jumped off the horse. He saw that his wife was unresponsive on the ground as if she had lost her soul, and it seemed that she was controlled by Yan Che's illusion. He drew his iron sword and ran towards Yan Che with a fierce momentum. Mo Feixue, who was in the front row of the troops, saw Yan Qinghou draw his sword, and knew that things were not so simple.
Yan waited for Yan Che to be only ten meters in front of him, and Yan Che raised his hand and motioned for him to stop. After Yan Qinghou stopped, Yan Che seemed to be saying in a mocking tone, "The momentum is overwhelming, General Yan." You are not afraid that your sword is not as fast as my hand, and that I have already killed your wife and children before your sword cuts my throat?"
Yan Che's words suddenly made Yan Qinghou understand that he had just rushed in. He really couldn't imagine that Yan Che would actually hold his wife and daughter hostage to blackmail him, and he was completely different from the heroic young man he met in Xiaojia Village. Yan Qinghou had no choice but to plunge his sword into the ground first, comforting Xiao Yan Mouran with his fatherly eyes.
"What do you want? This is a grudge between you and me, there is no need to involve my children and wife, they are innocent. Yan Qinghou said to Yan Che, wanting to understand why Yan Che made such a move.
"If you want to start a war, why haven't you thought that the lives of the millions of people behind you and me are also innocent?"
Yan Che's words made Yan Qinghou speechless, it seemed that Yan Che would inevitably use his wife and daughter to blackmail him into doing something. But his righteousness is in the world, although his children and wife are innocent, but he will not agree to ask for the lives of the two of them to be exchanged for the lives of the people in the world. Afterwards, Yan Che told Yan Qinghou his plan.
"General Yan, let's play a game. It's up to you to make a choice, whether you want to protect the lives of your wife and daughter, or the lives of the people of the world. Yan Che said to the green wolf at this time, "Go and grab a hundred people on the other side." ”
When the green wolf heard this, he had to do what Yan Che said. He shook his body, the cyan hair on his body falling off, and each hair turned into a wolf as tall as a man. Under the whistle of the green wolf, all the wolves ran towards the army in the distance behind Yan Qinghou.
The army saw the wolves coming, and the commander-in-chief at this time, Yan Qinghou, was not here to command. In an instant, the wolves rushed into the crowd, bit the limbs of the people with their mouths, without harming their lives, and dragged them back to the open space in front of the city gates. These wolves are very brave, and the soldiers' weapons are impaled on them, and they are indifferent. Mo Feixue immediately slashed two wolves with her shadowless sword, and her sword aura suddenly made the wolves dare not approach her. As soon as he saw that the wolves were shocked by Mo Feixue, the green wolf jumped from the spot to Mo Feixue, two miles away, and fell heavily in front of her.
As soon as he saw this tall werewolf covering the sun above his head with his tall body, Mo Feixue immediately swung his sword forward to take off the head of the green wolf. She stabbed the wolf in the chest with a sword, but the wolf didn't dodge. Mo Feixue was a little stunned, and then she saw the green wolf grab the blade of her shadowless sword with her hand, and released the power of thunder and lightning from the palm of her hand, electrocuting Mo Feixue for a while. After the electric shock, Mo Feixue's breath was disordered, and she felt numb all over her body, as if she was burned by fire, and finally fell to the ground. The green wolf grabbed Mo Feixue and brought her back to Yan Che's side.
All the wolves returned, each with a soldier in its mouth. None of the soldiers died, but their legs and arms were torn by wolves, and they had no ability to escape. plus Mo Feixue brought back by the green wolf, there are exactly one hundred people.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Yan Qinghou couldn't bear it anymore, and questioned Yan Che's actions.
Yan Che smiled: "Didn't you say it, play a game with you." You said that your purpose was to destroy the demons, then I will now compare your wife and children to demons, and the hundred soldiers behind me are the people of the world. You now have a choice to make: kill the wife and children who represent our demons, or kill the soldiers who represent the world. ”
Hearing this, Yan Qinghou's anger almost reached the extreme. He was eager to draw his sword and kill Yan Che immediately, but now that the other party had more hostages in his hands, he couldn't make a move now. He regretted a little that he should have made a move when the opponent's chips didn't increase.
It was at this time that a chaotic crack appeared in the city wall. Out of the crack were Yan Tiege and the Demon Clan, Jiang Mengsheng and Fu Qinggu, who had already come with them.
They appeared at the head of the wall and found that all eyes were on the bottom of the wall, and with the mighty army in the distance, it was already a moment of tension. Zhao Yige immediately stepped forward to greet everyone, and Jiang Mengsheng immediately asked, "General Zhao, what's the situation now?"
Zhao Yige really didn't know how to tell Yan Che's behavior, so he had to say that Yan Che was in the open space in front of the city gate. So everyone walked to the city wall and saw Yan Che and Yan Qinghou confronting each other, and behind Yan Che, there was a group of wolves surrounding nearly a hundred wounded soldiers. After seeing this scene, Yan Tiege whispered to himself: "It seems that after Che'er used the Destruction Demon Pill to detonate the Yuan Shen, the Yuan Shen of the Yan Demon began to occupy his original heart. ”
Yan Che had sensed that his uncle and demons had appeared on the city wall, but he ignored them. Then he asked Yan to wait and choose quickly. If Yan Qinghou chooses to kill his wife and daughter, then he will choose to return to the Demon Realm and no longer participate in all things in the human world. If Yan Qinghou chooses to kill a hundred soldiers, he will continue to conquer the world with his own deterrence.
This is a dilemma, no matter which one Yan Qinghou doesn't want to choose, he wants everyone to live. But the weak are struggling to choose, and for a while, Yan Qinghou was speechless, and he didn't even dare to touch the iron sword inserted in the ground. And Yan Che was a little impatient when he saw that Yan was reluctant to make a decision.
"Don't you have a choice? Otherwise, I'll show you how to do it first. After Yan Che finished speaking, he shot out two of his fingers and aimed them at Mrs. Yan Qinghou's back. Then, a black light appeared from Yan Che's fingertips, and a black sword qi suddenly erupted from his fingers, piercing Yan Qinghou's wife's chest in one fell swoop. And Yan Qinghou's wife was still trapped by illusions, and there was no trace of pain on her face. The tip of the black and slender black qi sword also happened to stop in front of Yan Muran. Yan Muran looked at the black sword qi, and couldn't understand what this sword qi had done to her mother. In the end, Yan Che withdrew his sword qi, and Yan Qinghou's wife fell to the ground as if she had lost her center of gravity. Yan Qinghou's eyes widened at that moment, and he cried out heartbreakingly: "Lady, you demon!"
Hearing Yan Qinghou calling himself a demon, Yan Che actually let out a sneer at this time, as if a vicious person had gained an advantage, and said as if he was still showing off: "Didn't you always know who I am? ”
