Chapter 477: Betrayal
The number of people fleeing has increased again, no matter how carefully the food sent by the reinforcements sent by Jiuyuan can only last for another half a month, and there is not much food left in Baishan City, looking at the devastated Baishan City, Meng Changlong couldn't help but sigh slightly, turned back to Nangong Mo and said: "We can't wait for the imperial court to allocate food, I don't know who will be sent, if the grain and grass are deducted as last time, not only will this Baishan City not be able to hold it, but Nagano will also be affected." Second, the number of the people is increasing, and if the reserve is insufficient, I am afraid that the city will be full of hunger, and it will be difficult to take care of it. β
"What does Master Hou mean?"
"Nagano is adjacent to Danyang, and Danyang is bordered by Hebodo's Yiyun to the west, and Hebodo is still entrenched outside Jiuyuan this year until winter, what does Mr. Nangong think?"
"Heboduo is an extremely cold place in the north, the lack of grain and grass in winter, is not enough for self-sufficiency, subordinates think, the reason why they have been able to support so far, may have been prepared, hoarded grain and grass, but a greater possibility, is that there is a backup, as for who this backup is, we actually already know it, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, even the twists and turns may not be able to reach the eastern capital, so it is not useful to mention it or not. β
"It's better to rely on others than on yourself, and it's better to take the initiative than to sit still. β
"Hou Ye is thinking?!"
"Danyang is complex, because it is located on the border, in addition to the imperial court sending troops to garrison, Guiyunzhuang's Leng Qiuzhi's sphere of influence is quite extensive, and the strength is very strong, this person usually does things very low-key, no one can figure out what his identity is, and the imperial court seems to have acquiesced in his existence, so if we want to take Danyang, I am afraid it will be difficult. β
"But if you don't enter from Danyang and go directly to Nagano, you will have to pass through the Nu River, which is very turbulent, and we have never been to the north, and we don't know if the river will condense into ice in such a harsh winter, so we can't make a conclusion whether it can be done." β
"It's a real problem. Meng Changlong nodded, then raised his eyes to look at the vast expanse, and then sighed softly, and said: "The traitor is in charge, I pity the pure heart of the soldiers, not fell on the battlefield of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, but died in the hands of his own people......!
If you can't escape horizontally and vertically, why not fight it, it will be death, and you will die well, worthy of your heart!
The hooves of the horses have been galloping forward, leaving the eastern capital for two days, Qiu Yan and Mo Yuan led a few of their men to Jiangtong day and night, the wind and snow were too great at night, the vision was limited, and the horses could not move forward, and several people finally settled in a small town.
Qiu Yan, who was wrapped in the burden of Vermilion Bird Zun, took it with him day and night, and did not leave a single step, seeing that Jiang Tong was gradually approaching, Mo Yuan was anxious.
This is already the last chance, if you go to Jiangtong and join Liu Shaokang and others, you will never be able to leave again.
After dinner, Mo Yuan leaned on the railing and looked at the snow in a daze, Qiu Yan couldn't find it in his room, thinking that he liked to be in a daze by the railing where he could see the sky wherever he went, so he searched all the way, and sure enough, he found him here.
"Idiot, look at the sky again. Stepping on the bench, Qiu Yan leaned back, sat down face to face with Mo Yuan, and also looked up at the sky, and said, "It's pitch black, I don't know what you always see." β
"Look at the sky, look at the night, look at tomorrow. Mo Yuan didn't bow his head, he just looked at the fluttering snowflakes and smiled: "Actually, I don't know what I'm looking at, Qiu Yan, you say, people like us...... Is there a tomorrow? β
Qiu Yan thought about it and smiled: "Maybe, there is." β
The words are so uncertain, just because there is too much blood in their hands, and they find that life and death are so easy, so it is even more difficult to determine!
"Qiu Yan, if one day, I die, remember to bury me in a place where you can see the sun. β
"Oh? With a hint of banter in his mouth, Qiu Yan smiled a little wickedly: "You like to stay in the dark so much, but why do you want to see the sun every day after you die?"
"Perhaps, it's just that I've been in the dark for too long, so I'm longing for the sun. β
"Well, I will bury you under the great tree in front of my house, where the first rays of the morning sun must shine, and I am very good to you. Raising his eyebrows, Qiu Yuan showed a bright smile in the darkness, Mo Yuan finally lowered his head, looked at the man, and said, "Naturally, it is excellent, and it is not in vain that our brotherhood for so many years-" The words dragged on at the end, Mo Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Qiu Yan, and a stream of arrows brushed past Qiu Yan's ears, and the split hair fell.
"Let's go!" The hidden weapon in Qiu Yan's hand came out, and a few screams came from the darkness, and then he turned around and shouted: "Mo Yuan, call Cheng Da-" As soon as the words fell, he heard a noise from upstairs, and then a few corpses fell, it was Cheng Da and a few people.
"Let's go, let's go-" Seeing that Mo Yuan was suddenly in a daze, Qiu Yan eagerly turned around and called him, the stray arrow was like a locust, and he pressed down again, Qiu Yuan tightened the burden on his body, and shot out the hidden weapon in his arms, and then pulled Mo Yuan's arm and walked out lightly.
"What are you doing-" Qiu Yan didn't understand why Mo Yuan's reaction was so quick just now, but why he was so stupid at the moment, under his roar, Mo Yuan came back to his senses, and then ran with him and left quickly.
It was too dark to make out the direction, and the two of them ran all the way, only to find that they were far away from the road, and the pursuit behind them was approaching, but they had not even figured out who the other party was.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the two figures shuttled through the forest, and when Mo Yuan looked up at Qiu Yan in front of him, his heart was pulled by an extreme contradiction.
This is the best time to seize the Vermilion Bird Zun, he and himself are running for their lives, but he is defenseless against himself, as long as he suddenly makes a move, with the martial arts of the two of them, he will definitely win. But who was the pursuer behind him, and if he had done it to him, would he have been wounded, would he have been able to escape?
Suddenly hesitated, it was not uncommon for the two of them to be pursued like this, but every time the two of them could join forces to save the day, and this time, ......
Finding that Mo Yuan had slowed down, Qiu Yan turned around and shouted, "What are you doing?" I tell you, if you die, don't think I will bury you in the sunshine, have you heard?"
When Mo Yuan heard that, his nose suddenly became sour, and he burst into tears.
It's been eight years, and he was born and died with this person, and he has already been like a brother, if it weren't for his identity as a tiger, he would have wanted to be a brother with him for life, but ......
A rapid sound of leaf flute suddenly sounded behind him, and when that sound sounded, Mo Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and then Huo Ran turned his head.
"Mo Yuan ......"
Realizing his abnormality, Qiu Yan also paused, looked at him, saw him look back, and then looked at himself again, but he didn't take a step forward, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
No, it won't be true!
I would rather believe that all the conjectures at the beginning were wrong, Mo Yuan, like himself, would never betray the prince, he wouldn't, wouldn't!
"Noβyou won'tβ" Gully shouted violently, Qiu Yuan suddenly jumped up, raised a punch and slammed it into Mo Yuan's chest, Mo Yuan didn't fight back, just a horse to stabilize his body, and took Qiu Yuan's punch alive.
His teeth tightened, but blood gradually oozed from the corners of his mouth, Mo Yuan looked up at the man, revealing a wry smile: "This punch is what I gave back to you." β
Mo Yuan, I, Qiu Yan, are your brothers, eight years, eight yearsβwhy, do you want to betray the prince, betray me!"
The clenched lips and teeth made a soft gurgling sound, Mo Yuan tried to calm down the trembling of his body, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "There is no betrayal, but from beginning to end, I, Mo Yuan, am just a chess piece placed next to the political king!
Qiu Yan's body shook, he staggered back a few steps, stood with his head down for a while, and suddenly smiled, but the words in his mouth were so cold that he spat out lightly.
"So, all the one qiΔ is just a bureau, so, sue me, who is your master?"
"Lord Zheng Yuan!" The bitterness was spreading, Mo Yuan felt a kind of powerlessness, although he knew that he and Qiu Yuan would definitely come to such a day, but after eight years of getting along day and night, he had long treated him as a windless and treated him as his own brother, this kind of pain of cannibalism was really unbearable!
"Qiu Yanβ"
"Don't call me by name! that's all you want, so take it. Taking down the burden and grabbing it in his hand, a mocking smile rose at the corner of Qiu Yan's mouth: "Remember to start cleanly, save me pain, and you will give me a ride with your own hands!"
The taste of being betrayed by a trusted person turned out to be so uncomfortable, he was on par with his martial arts, and he had so much backup behind him, resisting became a joke, since he was going to die, why bother to let people tease.
As soon as his eyes were closed, Qiu Yan threw the burden in his hand on the ground, and then stood quietly in the dark.
Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and in the dark shadows, the two men were close to each other as if they were snuggling, and when the short dagger pierced into his chest slowly left, Qiu Yan's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he didn't speak, but slowly fell.
ββββββββββββββ
"Mo Yuan, do you still have relatives in this world?"
"Yes, isn't that you? β
ββββββββββββββ
"Don't let go, I'll definitely pull you up, definitely!"
"Qiu Yan, let's goβgoβ"
"I told you, we're going to die togetherβ"
ββββββββββββββ
Scenes of the past flowed away from front of my eyes, and the images of crying, laughing, and fighting together made the wounds more painful. The snowflakes fell in large pieces, and the blood oozing from his chest was so dazzling in the vastness, Qiu Yan opened his eyes and listened to the footsteps of the man leaving, and muttered a sentence between his lips, but the tears in his eyes fell in an uproar.
Mo Yuan, you know that my heart is different from ordinary people, but why don't you take the thorn, you fool......
Fool......
