Chapter Eighty-Four: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
In fact, the reason why Gao Heng was willing to sacrifice his life so desperately to save him was not only because of Gu Hanqing's friend, but also because of the knot in his heart that had been depressed for many years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As an unfavored prince, he was forced to leave his homeland at a young age and his relatives were sent to enemy countries as hostages, lonely, helpless, suffering from indifference and suffering, hunger, cold and oppression. Although he never talked about it or wanted to mention it, these vivid and shocking memories undoubtedly left a burning mark on his heart, and even if the wound slowly scabbed and flattened, it would never return to the same condition as if it had not been injured.
And these fierce Western Jin Dynasty soldiers in front of him are not only stumbling blocks that threaten his life at all times, but also a demonic obstacle in his heart, to be precise, he is not facing a living person, but a terrible shadow that wants to penetrate his past and destroy his future.
Seeing waves of people fall in front of him, his morale became weaker and weaker, and Liu Qin, who was originally determined to win, began to lose his breath. I saw him angrily kick away the military flag at his feet, wave a heavy big knife, and slash towards Gao Heng with a fierce momentum.
"It's hard to die when you're dying!"
Seeing that the commander Liu Qin personally went out of the mountain, all the soldiers of the Jin State immediately gave way to a road.
I felt a strong wind with a murderous aura rushing towards him, seeing that the big knife in Liu Qin's hand was about to hit his eyebrows, Gao Heng held the sword and drew his hand to block it with the sword body, and with the crisp impact of the sword, Liu Qin's hands and feet pushed forward together, forcing Gao Heng to retreat.
Due to the previous fights with many people, Gao Heng had already spent too much physical strength, and he had also suffered a lot of skin injuries, and his body was about to be overwhelmed, and Liu Qin's taking advantage of the situation was tantamount to cutting off all his ways of life in the eyes of others.
Except for Gu Hanqing, all the Western Jin Dynasty soldiers present almost unanimously agreed that the scarred Gao Heng would definitely die under Liu Qin's machete, without the slightest suspense.
Forced to retreat back ten meters step by step, although Gao Heng withdrew his sword sideways to avoid Liu Qin's slash, but just as he was about to fight back, Liu Qin suddenly made a sharp turn and slashed his left shoulder with a backhand. Gao Heng couldn't avoid it, the knife slashed at his shoulder socket like this, and for a while blood gushed out, Gao Heng gritted his teeth fiercely, his feet were soft, and he finally fell to the ground because of the unbearable pain.
"Three Princes!"
Gu Hanqing's mournful shout echoed above the empty flat land. Gao Heng lowered his head and gasped, making it impossible to see the expression on his face at the moment, and the red blood flowed down his arm one by one, mixed with the dust on the ground, and his eyes were mottled and dazzling blood.
At this moment, Gao Heng is no longer a threat in Liu Qin's eyes, no matter how fierce and powerful the tiger, leopard and jackal he used to be, once he falls into the hands of hunters, he can only be slaughtered.
"Gao Heng, you are indeed a good opponent, but it's a pity that you and I are destined to be enemies. Liu Qin said as he slowly raised the machete in his hand, "You have two choices now, either let your army withdraw from here, and I can be merciful and let you live." Or, Lao Tzu will finish you off with his own hands now. ”
When the surrounding Western Jin soldiers heard this, they thought that they could reverse the defeat this time, and they began to become jubilant after changing their previous low spirit.
At this time, Gao Heng still bowed his head and closed his eyes and was silent, as if he had given up all struggles. But Gu Hanqing knew in his heart that it was not his personality to bow down and admit defeat like this.
"What are you waiting for? Don't tell me, you're still waiting for reinforcements to come and save you. Liu Qin bent down and approached Gao Heng, and said with a sinister expression, "Let me tell you, I have already set up an ambush for a few miles around here, since you are willing to choose to throw yourself into the net for the sake of your friends, then you should have thought that those subordinates of yours would be buried for your so-called morality." ”
Liu Qin said unhurriedly, his face gradually becoming more and more meaningful. At this moment, Gao Heng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out a dagger from his cuff with lightning speed, and quickly swept by with a cold light, and when Liu Qin came back to his senses, the dagger was already on his neck.
"General!"
All of a sudden, the screams of the soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty rang out, and everyone was stunned to see what was happening in front of them, and it was too late to come forward to save them. After all, no one expected that in just a moment, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and took an unexpected turn.
"The arrogant army will be defeated, you are too light on the enemy. ”
Gao Heng stabbed the dagger into Liu Qin's flesh, the cold light in his cold eyes, and the forbearance that had surfaced before because of the pain had long since disappeared, leaving only a murderous aura in his eyes.
Liu Qin looked down at the extremely sharp dagger on his neck, and his face changed suddenly. He barely calmed down his panicked emotions, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a sneer of pretended disdain: "Hmph, do you think you can kill me? Don't forget, your friend is still in my hands." ”
"Where are the hostages?"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, Liu Qin turned his head when he heard the words, and his face changed greatly. I saw that Gu Hanqing, who was originally held hostage by his subordinates, had disappeared quietly at some point.
At the same time, there was a gust of wind and grass in the mountains and forests, and countless iron armors surged from all directions, instantly surrounding the barracks of the Red Feather Army from the periphery, and when they raised their eyes, a large area of fire was already in front of them.
The one who came with the troops this time was Chen Fu, the general of the Left Guard, who was originally stationed north of Surabaya, and when he heard that Gao Heng had entered the enemy camp in danger, he immediately rushed to the rescue from the north.
"The subordinates were late to save the car, and asked the three princes to forgive their sins. ”
Chen Fufei dismounted, bowed down and clenched his fists, looking at the countless horizontal corpses on the ground, and then at Gao Heng's armor covered with blood stains and scars, with a faint trace of amazement and admiration in his eyes.
"It's not too late, it's just the right time. ”
Gao Heng smiled calmly, looked at the soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty who had lost all morale and were defeated, and sighed lightly. He was about to slowly prop himself up, but he was immediately held firmly by an outstretched hand.
Gao Heng raised his eyes and saw Gu Hanqing pursing his lips and looking at him with a solemn expression. After being silent for a long time, he gradually stretched his eyebrows, and a deep emotion rolled in his eyes.
"Why ......"
"I know what you're going to say, and I know what I'm doing. The corners of Gao Heng's mouth lifted lightly, and he raised his hand to interrupt Gu Hanqing's words.
He stood up straight with the pain all over his body, put the blood-stained sword into its scabbard, raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance, immersed in the night, his gaze frozen.
That was the direction of Qiyang City, the imperial capital of the Western Jin Dynasty.
"Remember that sentence?"
He pondered for a moment and turned his head to look at Gu Hanqing, with a hint of ridicule but a warm smile on his face.
"Because you are from Zhou, and it just so happens that so am I. ”
