Chapter 285: Unwilling
The crowd moved, and flying feathered arrows fell one after another, and then were broken by an invisible force.
After Chu Xianzhao killed the old man, he no longer charged with a royal horse, but moved forward calmly.
Those enemies who dared to rush in front of him were crushed by him like ants, and were shot away by Wang Xi!
He put away the dragon sparrow sword, and watched with an unchanging face as the brave soldiers pounced on him, and then died bravely.
He was a conqueror, not a usurper or an executioner.
He was conquering the city for the king's sake, and if Chai Long-maung really thought about his people, he should have left the city early to sacrifice his jade seal, and then kneel in front of him and ask for his forgiveness.
But he didn't, he hid in the palace, clinging to his throne like a miser hugging his vault before he died.
As he advanced, the entire street became a street of blood, with blood and corpses everywhere.
The more he advanced, the more he felt the tiredness of his heart, and his eyes turned into a deep darkness like the night, as if it was no longer Chu Xianzhao who drove him forward, but the soul that belonged to the king in his body.
Even so, the people rushed forward one after another, and in the face of the king's power, these people seemed too weak to even be a match, and again and again they put their lives close to his side, in exchange for absolute death.
In the face of such a gap, the people of the city of Rest still did not feel hopeless, they grieved, angry, and painfully raised their weapons and threw themselves down in front of them, but there was no look of despair.
I have mixed feelings, and that's probably how it feels.
The soldiers did not even roar, but rushed to him, raised their swords, fought in silence, and died in silence.
And not just soldiers.
There was an old man who picked up the stone and threw it in front of Chu Xianzhao, and then died.
Several men raised the firewood knives in their hands and rushed to Chu Xianzhao, and they died again.
There was a dog barking and running towards him, maybe the dog was just trying to escape, but it died.
It's very similar to the sound that Yinguo Iron Cavalry shouted before the battle to die.
But their death was meaningful, because they were victorious in the end.
But their death has no value, but they still rush forward without hesitation, people to the last moment of life and death, sometimes knowing that no matter what they do, they will not be able to change the result, but they will still make some very stupid actions to comfort themselves, even if it is to pick up a sword and charge and die, even if it is just to pick up a stone.
The difference between dying and dying is as obvious as the difference between bravery and recklessness.
They just wanted to stop Chu Xianzhao's footsteps.
The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang troops did not stop him, the Thundering Cavalry did not stop him, and even the Eastern Emperor Bell did not stop him.
But people are still not reconciled.
Watching loved ones run to the battlefield one by one to fight and die, finally
Still failed to stop the iron cavalry of the Yinguo people, why should they be willing?
So they chose to use their own blood bodies to form a last line of defense for Yan Ying!
......
......
Outside the city, soldiers are under the city.
In the city, the smoke of gunfire continued.
In the end, he still lost, Emperor Yan Fu thought sadly.
Guilt, sorrow, anger, all kinds of emotions were intertwined in his heart, he took off the extremely luxurious imperial robe, put on a long robe as white as snow, sat on the throne, and held the jade seal of Yan Fu in his hand.
The guards were all dispersed by him, fled from the rear of the city to the direction of Qingguo, and her daughter was also packed into the carriage and sent away, the desperate eyes of the daughter before leaving lingered in his heart, and then the eyes of the queen, the eyes of the courtiers, the eyes of the people of Yanfu, countless eyes were watching him, and the sea of countless eyes seemed to drown him.
The "Edict of Sin" in the imperial study was his first and last apology to the country.
He remembered the first time he sat on the throne, the hundred officials bowed down to him, and although he could not see them, he could feel their awe of him.
Although he is a blind man, but sitting on the throne just seems so justifiable, he has been conscientious and conscientious all these years, and he does not have a bad reputation, if it were not for the loss of the city in the battle of Yunjian River, maybe he would be able to sit on the throne peacefully until he is old.
At this time, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, anger, pain, remorse, these didn't matter, Yan Fu's hard work for generations was still buried in his hands.
In the end, the country of Yin is really fierce, first the Golden Horde, then the west, then the Northern Barbarians, and finally to Yan Fu, no, maybe Yan Fu is not the last...... But now I can't see it.
Donghuang Zhong didn't completely destroy their army, and he shouldn't have believed that Tantai Ninghua and the warlock from Yinguo in the first place, because he made such a wrong move, and the tall building of Yanyu fell apart in an instant, crushing countless people to death.
The high-rise building that Yan Fu's ancestors erected thousands of years ago collapsed when it came to his hands after a thousand years.
The emperor's face was full of pain.
At some point, a shadow came to his side and put her hand on his shoulder, and even when it was time to die, her beauty was still as the world said, and she was prosperous.
The emperor's shoulders trembled, and he suddenly got up like a fried cat, and shouted at the woman: "What are you doing when you come back! Didn't I let you take your daughter away?
The queen shook her head: "Don't worry, someone will take care of her for us, she is much stronger than you think." ”
The emperor was lonely, and suddenly dropped the jade seal and knelt in front of the queen and cried: "I have harmed your mother and daughter, my father asked me to take care of you before he died, but people like me can't do anything!!"
The queen shook her head gently: "You take good care of me...... Let me accompany you one last time, one last time. ”
The emperor pressed his face against her stomach, tears seeped into her phoenix robe, and said in a hoarse but extremely soft voice: "Then what about this child, the people of Yinguo will not let you and this child go, I originally wanted you to take your daughter and him to Qingguo and live peacefully for the rest of your life." ”
"Your Majesty...... We were born on high, and naturally we should die on top, and I don't regret it...... Really don't regret it. The queen shook her head, looked down at her husband's sad appearance, and did not know how to persuade for a while.
"You shouldn't have ......"
"I'm going to advise you now...... We still have a chance to live! You and I now take the jade seal to negotiate with the people of Yinguo, I am not afraid of hardship and suffering, even if we don't want this throne, it doesn't matter if we distribute the head to work, I just need a home, in which you and your daughter are waiting for us, let's live together. She clutched a creed in her hand, which was the peace book sent to them by Hua Youyue, at that time, Chai Longxiang swore in a firm tone that she would never bow her head to the people of Yinguo, but she picked up the proposal and book that was thrown on the ground after Chai Longxiang left, and held it tightly in her hand like a life-saving straw.
The Emperor shook his head slowly.
"Do you think I can still live? Is there an emperor who dies without having to die? Xilin's is dead, Beiban's is dead, and the same is true for the queen!"
"What do you think I am? Why do the people of the Yin Kingdom want to spare my life!" The emperor laughed: "I think I am one step ahead of the people of the Yin country, and with the support of Shu Yue, I will definitely defeat the Yin country, I should not believe those two liars! From the moment they stepped out of the land of Yanfu, we have already lost! We lost to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little hairy child! I am not even as good as a child, I can't do anything, I have done nothing! You have helped me since I was a child, and when those brothers wanted to rebel, it was my father who killed them for us! If it weren't for my father, I would have died a long time ago!, but now that my father is gone, I only have you...... After all these years, I'm still like a helpless child, unable to do anything!"
The queen looked at him quietly, it was obvious that his anger at this time was not aimed at the Yinguo, but at himself, the emperor was angry at his powerlessness, angry at Chai Muzhi's temporary rebellion, angry that he was used as a pawn to resist the attack of the Yinguo, angry at why he was born in the emperor's house!
"In the eyes of the world! My Chai Long's appearance is a joke! King Xilin has left a sword arsenal for the world! What have I left? It's just a useless bun!" The emperor slowly walked down the jade steps, dancing with his hands, like a sad play.
The queen looked at her husband with a knife, watching tears spread across his face and a pang of cramping pain in his abdomen.
The emperor turned slowly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the queen's face, and the queen looked at the black blood in his mouth in shock, and the black blood streaked across her face
On the jade steps, the empress took a slight step with her mouth half-open, and the emperor raised his hand and took a step back.
"I wanted to die on the throne, see who has the courage to remove the body of this king and sit on it himself!" The emperor lowered his head and said in a distant tone: "I drank two glasses of poisoned wine before you came, I know you want me to live, but ...... I still want to die!"
As long as a person has the heart to seek death, even if the other party has a hundred ways to save him, that person also has a hundred and one thoughts of letting himself die, the queen let out a painful choking from her mouth, and saw the emperor kneeling slowly, his face showing a dead color. Looking up at the golden roof: "This king would rather die...... I don't want to become a joke in the mouth of the Yinguo!"
"No one can kill this king! except this king himself!" the emperor said while vomiting blood, the blood stained all his white robes red, the queen went up to hold his arm, the emperor looked up at her, his body suddenly rose and fell violently, as if dozens of wild snakes were stuffed in the chest, they would rush out of his throat at any time, he looked at the queen's eyes, and suddenly spat on the queen's face!
"In the next life, I'd rather be born in a commoner's house, in a pigsty! in a kennel! I'd never be an emperor again!"
The emperor's breath seemed to be cut off by a knife, and after his death, he put his hand on the queen's abdomen, his eyes never closed, and he looked at the burning city with his eyes wide!
This poor creature born into a princely family was finally overwhelmed.
The queen did not look at his corpse, but looked blankly at the empty throne, and in her twenty-six years of life, there was no winter colder than this summer.
