Chapter 352: The Red Coat
The qi machine rolled and roared like a dragon, and he looked over Zhu Ziwei's shoulder, there was a woman in red standing in the air, her red sleeves drooping like bird wings, and the red silk drilled out of her body spun at high speed, spraying out at an unimaginable speed!
The red silk formed a rain of arrows, and each red silk carried a huge impact, pressing the two people who were hugging each other to the ground, as if they were engulfed along with their bodies.
This secret technique from the Blood Python Gang is undoubtedly a murderous move on the battlefield, and Zhu Ziwei repeatedly used blood to nourish the red silk in order to practice this secret technique, so that the red silk penetrated into the bones, and the tendons and veins were replaced with this kind of red silk that was as tough as iron.
This kind of red silk can directly penetrate the barrier formed by various qi machines, no matter how strong **, as long as it is broken into the body by this red silk, it can even suck their blood and destroy their bones from the inside out!
In the violent blood rain brought by the red silk, Zhu Ziwei's face was pale and almost transparent, and his neck spewed bright blood flowers!
Chu Xianzhao wanted to press Zhu Ziwei under him, but Zhu Ziwei's limbs seemed to be nailed, and he realized that he had made a terrible mistake!
Those rainstorm-like red threads all fell on Zhu Ziwei's back, and the blood beads hit his face again and again, cold as ice!
Zhu Ziwei said with difficulty: "Chu Xianzhao, I didn't betray you, I betrayed her." ”
The red silk rainstorm finally stopped falling, Chu Xianzhao was not injured, the red silk was blocked by Zhu Ziwei's body, her bones were also made of these red silks, and there were thousands of red wires flowing in her blood, so that she could use her body to block the red silk that was enough to break the steel.
Chu Xianzhao didn't know how many red wires Zhu Ziwei had blocked for herself, and she didn't even dare to look at her back, she didn't even scream in the process, didn't she hurt?
The woman in the red robe waved her sleeves vigorously, and threw Zhu Zi slightly into the distance as if she had wiped away a piece of dirt.
Zhu Ziwei fell heavily on the snow, and the blood that spurted out dragged a long line of blood on the snow.
Chu Xianzhao slowly stood up, watching the blood spots under the woman not far away slowly expand, all of which made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.
Snowflakes fell on the ends of her hair, dyeing half of her black hair white.
You said you would protect her, but now she's going to die...... Die to protect you.
Chu instantly opened his mouth wide and let out an unprecedented, extremely desperate roar.
This young prince, who was once strong and brave, personally led the cavalry to capture the city of rest, and stabbed the dagger into the heart of Empress Yan Mang, howled and cried like a child who had lost his doll.
But Zhu Ziwei is not his doll, the doll will not die, but she is a living person, and she is the one who says she will die.
He staggered and fell into the snow in front of Zhu Ziwei, Zhu Ziwei's eyes slowly opened, and he said angrily: "Chu instantaneous...... I've always wanted to see what Lin'an City is like...... I wish I had ...... You...... I. ”
"I will take you to Yinguo, I will let you stand on the walls of Lin'an City, you will not die. Chu Xianzhao stroked her hair: "You won't die, you said you wanted to be a mother, I will take you back to Lin'an City...... I will...... No...... Don't die. ”
To this, she just smiled and said softly, "I want to go back to that courtyard, in that room...... You...... I. ”
"Let's go back to that room," he said, "I won't let you die, Zhu Ziwei, I won't let you die......"
Zhu Zi said faintly: "Forget me, I'm not worthy of you......"
Chu Xianzhao hugged her tightly, listening to her heart slowly stop beating, and the snowflakes fell on her pupils for a long time without melting.
Chu Xianzhao hugged her corpse in the snow, feeling that the whole world was leaving him, and for the first time, he felt that winter was so cold.
Some people's lives ...... It's really humble, and I want to live happier than everyone else...... Then you're going to pay a price they didn't pay...... But in the end, even gambling with your life was not enough.
Chu Xianzhao held Zhu Ziwei's corpse with one hand, and covered his head with the other hand and roared loudly.
The woman in the red robe looked at the mighty cavalry rushing towards her, and she couldn't help but feel gloomy, and sighed faintly in her heart.
She never thought that Zhu Ziwei would block this red silk that was enough for him to kill, she calculated the timing of the sneak attack, but she didn't calculate Zhu Ziwei's heart.
The woman, who was called her sister by Zhu Ziwei, chose to give up, and whispered to Chu Xianzhao: "When you break through Lijing City, I will give you the opportunity to kill me." ”
Chu Xianzhao clenched the hilt of his sword and looked at her with red eyes.
He couldn't wait that long!
He's going to kill her right now!
But the robe has disappeared in the wind and snow, and it is fleeting.
He wanted to catch up, but his sleeve was grabbed by the woman, and she used all her strength to let him not risk it for himself, and he didn't want to let go!
This love...... Simply humble to the dust.
For a long time, Chu Xianzhao held her hand and closed her eyes for her, hugged her tightly, and let the arrows rain in front of and behind him, and the sound of flesh and blood flying all over the sky, all of this had nothing to do with him.
He didn't move an inch.
The boy burst into tears.
......
......
"Soon I will be able to go home. She said something like this.
In December of the twentieth year of Shuyue Ningcheng, Tai Ningsu came to Minsai City with a mighty army, and the army behind him seemed to melt into the vast snowy scene.
At the suggestion of the people of Danyang City, the empress emptied more than four-fifths of the city's grain and grass, leaving only a small part for the people of Danyang City to spend the winter.
In addition to armor and their horses, Emperor Yin's iron cavalry is the foundation of the world, and Emperor Yinhuang strictly forbids soldiers to eat horse meat on the battlefield.
Even a dead horse.
But now they are not in the Yin country, the person who gave this order is the third prince of Da Yin, he ordered the soldiers to hang the horse meat behind the carriage, as food for the march, it didn't take long for them to evacuate Danyang City, before that they executed nearly a thousand blood python gang secret magicians, which was a big loss for Shu Yue, but the empress insisted on doing so.
When the empress left Lijing, the country was still peaceful and peaceful, which made the Hou Chu people extremely jealous, but now the country was on the verge of death in the civil war, like a giant python that had lost too much blood, and was nailed seven inches.
The journey back to the city was a little depressing, and the empress and Chu Xianzhao in the carriage were much more silent than before.
Chu Xianzhao buried Zhu Ziwei on a small hillside outside Danyang City, and the last thing Zhu Ziwei left for Chu Xianzhao was the light red clothes.
The boy knelt in front of the grave for a long time, burying his whole face in the snow, and even the empress did not know whether he was crying or not, but just looked at him quietly, as if he had no intention of comforting him.
Each of them made a mistake and corrected something, and at the end of the day, it was not known who was right and who was wrong.
The only sound that echoed in the carriage was the coughing sound of Tantai Ningning, Zhu Ziwei's death made the curse Gu on her body undo automatically, but she was still sick for a long time because of this, but there were not too many herbs here to relieve her condition.
Chu Xuanzhao also infused the king's breath into her body many times to alleviate her pain, but as he used the king's breath more times, the effect became weaker and weaker, and the plump peach face slowly sank, and his face was as pale as snow on the official road.
Chu Xianzhao clenched her hand slightly, trying to convey some warmth to her, but she was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to give herself a smile, but the empress's face didn't see anything unusual, she deliberately didn't look at her daughter, looked down at the map and the army, the hand holding the paper clenched from time to time, the woman's knuckles were very pale, and her mood at this time was more depressed than anyone in the army.
"When we get to Minsai City, you and my daughter will stay there. ”
The empress put down the military report a little tiredly, and said to Guan Ju in the corner, the woman in white glanced at the empress deeply, and finally nodded, and at this time, Tantai Ningning, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "Ahem, cough, cough...... I'm going back to Lijing with you...... I don't want to stay in Minnan City...... Ahem, ahem. ”
"Tranquility, the next war is terrible and cruel, your illness and your identity, the mother emperor does not dare to take you with her...... When we arrive in Minsai City, you and Sister Ziwei will stay there, and when the war is over, we will send someone to take you to Lijing City. ”
"I'm going with you, I'm the princess of Shuyue...... I am the daughter of the Empress Mother, and I want to protect you...... Ahem, ahem. ”
Chu Xianzhao held her shoulders and smoothed the little girl's back, and the empress revealed
Wipe a smile of relief: "I'm protecting you now, and I'll protect me when you grow up." ”
The little princess was full of tears, biting her lower lip silently, and the empress patiently explained to her: "You also saw it when you were in Danyang City, and Tai Ninghua worked hard to get you, and we are still at war, if anything happens to the queen mother, you are the heir of Shuyue...... Don't worry, you have the whole country behind you to support you, you won't be alone, but you have to learn to be strong. ”
Guan Ju watched the mother and daughter remain silent, when the empress stretched out her hand to hug her daughter.
Tantai Tranquility slapped her hand hard, coughed lowly, pushed the curtain and jumped up from the horse: "I don't want you to care!"
Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was not too fast, and Chu instantly summoned her body and left the carriage, hugging her when she was about to fall to the ground.
The girl raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, Chu Xianzhao said angrily: "I won't help you now, obediently listen to your mother's words and stay in Minsai City, and when the war is over, we will pick you up and go back to Lijing City." ”
Tantai looked at him quietly and angrily, and didn't say anything, Chu Xianzhao hesitated, looking at this girl's eyes moistened, and her heart softened a little, this girl who should have been ignorant about being a princess in Xiang'an, where did she understand so many things that the country hated and hated, He Zeng himself was the same as her, always hoping that others would care about him and take his opinion seriously.
The empress just wants to keep her in the relatively safe city of Fujian, although she is the princess of Shuyue, in fact, once it falls into the hands of Ninghua, how many exchanges of interests can this weak monarchy and courtiers be worth?
Chu Xianzhao didn't stab her, but said softly: "We plan to leave you in Minsai City, let Guan Ju take care of you, and then take you back to Lijing City. ”
Of course, it is a foolproof move to leave Tantai Tranquility in Minsai City, but she is obviously not suitable to travel with them all the way to and from Lijing City with her illness, and it is impossible for the empress to fight to the death with a sick daughter, if she falls into the hands of the enemy and is finally threatened as a hostage, how much determination can she have to make a choice?
Chu Xuanzhao couldn't watch such a thing happen, this was not an understatement, under the threat of countless swords, guns, bows and crossbows, how long could she be safe?
Tantai turned his head angrily: "I'm not going! I'm not going! I'm going back to Lijing City with you." ”
Chu Xianzhao flicked her forehead and said with a smile: "If you don't go, you won't go, then we are not very faceless?"
The little girl didn't rub her red forehead either, and looked at Chu Xianzhao stubbornly, Chu Zhaozhao stretched out his hand and rubbed her cheek and said, "Maybe one day you will understand what your mother emperor does, but you have to know what is important now, otherwise I won't like you." ”
As soon as he heard him say that he didn't like him, Tantai Ning subconsciously waved his pink fist and hit Chu Xianzhao twice in the chest, which showed that he was glaring
eyes, they don't dare to fight.
She cried out a little uncontrollably, buried her face in Chu Xianzhao's arms and choked up, and Chu Xianzhao was a little hurried to carry her into the carriage.
Her muffled voice full of sadness came from her arms, "The Empress thinks I'm a burden, does Brother Xiaozhao think so?"
Chu Xianzhao laughed at herself, afraid that she would be angry and didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the little girl was angry and crying in his arms, Chu Xianzhao stood in front of the carriage and waited for a while, and the woman behind the curtain was listening to her daughter's cry, silent.
But the girl still cried endlessly, as if crying out all the sorrows along the way, Chu Xianzhao rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "I used to like to cry, but now I don't like it, because every time I cry, someone will be injured because of me, do you want your mother to be injured because of you?"
Tantai Tranquility bit Chu Xianzhao's shoulder, and sobbed, "I don't want the mother emperor to be injured...... I want to go home. ”
Chu Xianzhao shook his head and said, "It's still a trivial matter whether you can stand it or not, and whether you can go home or not is the important thing." ”
Tantai Ningsu finally stopped crying, and said softly: "The mother queen told me before that deserters are going to be beheaded, and I don't want to be a deserter. ”
Chu Xianzhao was silent for a moment and pinched her earlobe: "What stupid thing to say, many people are dead, they could have escaped." ”
Back in the carriage, Tantai Tranquility finally stopped crying, but just grabbed Chu Xianzhao's sleeve, for fear that they would drop it if they said they would drop it.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the Minyang City area near the Snake Core Mountain, at this time the sky has fallen light snow, the words of winter are not casually said, the trees under the mountain have been bald, and there are a few ice cubes hanging alone.
At this time, there was still a little distance from Minsai City, the army was already hungry and tired, and there was still some grain and grass left with them, hoping to replenish it in Minsai City. While the soldiers were stationed outside the city, one of the empress's subordinates proposed to go to the village in the east for a walk, saying that he wanted to go home to have a look, at this time several soldiers expressed strong opposition, thinking that the empress should be kept by her side now, the soldiers of the Empress are everywhere, like the blood python gang, once discovered, there is only a dead end.
But the soldier insisted on visiting the house, and the empress agreed to his request, but only gave him a horse.
Guo Changfeng sighed: "He is really a fool, there is no point in going home at this time, maybe it will only make him more miserable." ”
The empress looked in the direction he was leaving and said, "He is afraid that he will die in this war, and he wants to go home to see his parents for the last time, there is nothing wrong with this, many soldiers are actually not so strong, and no one will worry about him if he dies." ”
It feels like home is right in front of you.
The soldier walked in the barren and snowy countryside, and the home seemed to be the same home, but in the last year, often at this time, everyone would collect the dried meat outside and bring it back
At home, the women sit in front of the yard pounding the chili noodles on a plate, and the chili peppers splash and fall on the ground and fall on the snow-white earth.
Compared to last year, this year's home is too quiet, and some black marks can be faintly seen on the trunk, like the color of blood after coagulation, looking at the ground covered with frost and snow, I don't know how much blood has been covered.
The soldier walked a long way, and finally stopped in front of a door, and with a gentle push, the door fell to the ground with a fine splash of snow and dust, and the soldier's eyes were a little complicated, and finally he raised his legs and walked into the courtyard.
The soldier put the gun in his hand aside, his face showing no change, and it was deathly quiet, except for a few residual leaves in the courtyard that swayed in the wind.
The soldier glanced into the room, walked to the room, and with each step, his body slowly lowered.
Get down on your knees.
Tears.
The empress outside the village suddenly heard a desolate cry, and Chu Xianzhao suddenly understood what was going on inside.
When the soldier walked out of the village, he held a rattle in his left hand, in addition to the iron gun he had brought in.
A cold wind blew, and the rattle rattle rang like a death knell for a conjuring spirit.
"Daddy must avenge you...... Give Dad a little more time...... You and your mother stay down there...... Daddy will be looking for you soon. ”
The soldier passed by Chu Xianzhao, muttering to himself, his smile a little sad.
Although the army of Shantai Ninghua was not stationed near Minsai City, the terrible destruction caused by his soldiers in the nearby villages appeared in front of them one by one at this time.
Chu instantly summoned this tired army, and all he saw along the way were burned villages, ruins and burning fires everywhere, and the smell of human flesh came from the air, which almost aroused the soldiers' fighting spirit, and they wanted to stab their guns into the throat of Tantai Ninghua now to avenge the dead clansmen.
Compared with the revenge of the soldiers, what made Chu Xianzhao even more puzzled was these charred broken walls, the walls did not look like the fire marks caused by being lit after being sprinkled with stone candles, but like something sprayed fire on the high wall, otherwise there was no reason for the fire to burn to the stone wall a few feet above the ground.
Chu instantly looked at the burning streets around him, his heart was empty, as if something was missing.
By the way, she's gone.
Fortunately, they did not encounter the main army of Shantai Ninghua along the road, and at the same time, the empress re-established contact with Li Aoxin, the lord of Minsai City, and Minsai City planned to give up the blood python flag of Shantai Ninghua, re-erect the white python flag of the Empress of Shantai, and let the empress take the soldiers into the city, and prepared food and grass supplies for the army, and invited the empress and Her Royal Highness the princess, as well as the three princes of the Yin Kingdom to enter the city.
After a heart-to-heart conversation between the empress and the tranquility of the city, the princess finally agreed to stay in the city, and at this time, the large army continued to set off in the direction of the city, and they entered the city first.
At this time, the city of Fujian was shouldering women
The important responsibility of the emperor to regain the throne, the people on the street were a little confused, and they knelt on the ground in front of the carriage with the white python flag to show their grief, and the cry gradually rose.
Chu Xianzhao did not sit in the carriage, holding the reins of the horse in one hand and the scabbard in the other, and the girl with a high ponytail sitting behind him patted the horse's belly with the double swords at her waist.
Chu Xianzhao suddenly heard several angry shouts coming from both sides of the road.
"Get out of Minsai City!"
"Tantai Ningsu, you bitch, go back to Yinguo, Shuyue is not your country!"
The young prince drew his dragon sword at the end of the sound of killing, and at this time, a spearman with a blood python banner standing behind him led hundreds of cavalry behind him, rushing out of nowhere, the horses' hooves under his feet trampling on the innocent people, and the tip of the spear was stained with the blood of his compatriots.
Tantai Ningsu put his hand on his daughter's hot forehead, did not get out of the car to block it, and did not order the soldiers.
The woman's expression was calm, as if everything outside the window had nothing to do with her.
