Chapter 24

At dusk, the sun sets over the western mountains. The remnant sun sprinkled golden red brilliance, covering the city of Liangzhou, where corpses were all over the field. The residual temperature has not faded, the vast loess is infiltrated by blood, standing on the city tower and looking from afar, just like the purgatory of the blood pool, with sadness in the horror.

"It's already unitary, why haven't you seen reinforcements yet? Your husband, will you never be able to reach Liangzhou again?" Helan sat aside and glanced at me lightly, and the words that implied something made my heart sink. I gritted my teeth and ignored it, and my already numb arm was sore again, sweat the size of a bean rolled down my forehead, and my newly dried ragged clothes were soaked again.

In the fierce battle last night, all the gods were killed by the Turkic blades. As the only surviving prisoner of war, I was hung on the city wall by the Turks as a trophy of war. I watched as the Shence army was slaughtered one after another, and Liangzhou became a dead city under Turkic attack, and the despair in my heart gradually swallowed me as time passed.

I struggled to open my swollen eyes, and there was no movement. I was anxious about why it had not been there for a long time, and at the same time I was worried and uneasy because of Helan Lone's words.

"Brother, can you give her a sip of water to drink?" Ah Tuan's voice sounded, compared to the arrogance when he got along with me, he became extremely obedient in front of Helan Lin at this moment.

Helan handed him a cup of tea and said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty cares about this woman." I am surprised that she took His Majesty hostage, but His Majesty did not order her to be killed. ”

Ah Tuan puffed out his mouth and defended: "I just saw that she looked like the queen mother, and I just saw her pitiful!" As he spoke, he reluctantly handed the teacup to my mouth and looked at me with a frown, "Look, you still lose." If you had confessed your mistake to the Lone King earlier, you wouldn't have made such a mess up by now. ”

I tugged at the corners of my parched mouth, and a fishy-sweet liquid flowed from the cracked opening. I squirmed, looked at the tea in my cup, and turned my head away. Ah Tuan noticed that the wound on my right wrist that was bitten by the white tiger Ah Yan was cracked and enlarged again, and the blood meandered down his arm, he was stunned for a moment, and his tone softened: "If you drink it, I will order someone to put you down." ”

I glanced at Helan Lonely, he filled his cup with tea, raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, took a sip, his eyes were full of ridicule and provocation.

A crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the deadly deadlock, galloping from far and near. I squinted my eyes and looked into the distance, half of the sunset that sank into the ground outlined a black silhouette of a galloping horse, carrying a bloody wind and a bloody wind, blending into the sun's rays, and rushing towards me. My heart kept beating to the sound of horses' hooves, and I couldn't see who was coming, only to feel that the afterglow of the remnant sun became extremely dazzling at this moment, dazzling and dizzy.

"Yuwen Qiye actually escaped from the ambush of the 30,000 army in Youzhou, which is really impressive......" Helan stood up, walked in front of me, and squatted down to look at me, "It seems that you didn't completely lose." ”

My eyes instantly became fierce: "It turns out that all this is all your conspiracy! When did you start to calculate? When did the Turks and relatives ambush in Liangzhou? Or when they got rid of Helan Yue?" I looked up at this man who was very deep in the city, this series of plans was really unpredictable, "Or did you plan all this from the moment you faked your death?"

Hearing my speculation, Helan Lin showed a cold smile: "You are really smart. It's just that by now, you're too late to react. Even if Yuwen Qiye escaped the ambush and pursuit of the 30,000-strong army, he couldn't escape my palm!" His hand swept across my cheek, causing goosebumps all over my body, "Or rather, he can't escape your palm...... Hahaha!"

"The beloved woman will become the weakness of the hero, Your Majesty, do you now know what the Queen Mother teaches you on weekdays?" Helan stood up and rubbed Ah Tuan's hairy head, "No matter how many beauties there are, the men who have achieved great things must not give their sincerity!"

Ah Tuan looked at me, then at Helan Lone, and finally stopped his eyes on Yuwen Qiye, who stopped under the city tower, and asked: "But Baturu, who taught me to ride and shoot, told me that Yuwen Qiye is the only hero he admires. Brother, if Ah Tuan can't even protect his own woman one day, how can he protect the Turkic country?"

His innocent and immature words made Helan stunned, and I looked down with his words, and as soon as I touched Qi Ye's dark eyes that I hadn't seen for a long time, tears almost came out of my eyes. Qi Ye sat on the back of a horse alone, carrying a golden curved bow, holding a cold long sword, and the battle armor on his body was almost broken, but it still did not reduce the chill in the slightest.

There was a cold murderous aura in his eyes, he hadn't seen much thinner for many days, and his face was full of wild sand and frost. A pair of eyes sink deep under the brow bone, making it even more handsome and deep.

My eyes lingered on his body for a long time, and for a moment I seemed to forget my own pain. The last rays of the slanting sun gilded his armor with a layer of gold, and I watched him stand alone under the tower, his feet covered with the already cold bones of the Shence army, and my heart was full of mixed feelings. On the way to get married, I imagined countless scenes of reuniting with him, but I never imagined that it would be so bleak and tragic as it is now.

Yuwen Qiye and I looked at each other deeply, I can't forget such eyes, as if they have gone through thousands of years, and my heart aches when I wake up every night. I felt my lips tremble, my hands tightly bound by the ropes clenched, my nails dug deep into my palms, and I could only bite my lips and tell myself that I couldn't cry.

"Yuwen Qi night, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to harm!" He Lanshan stood on top of the city and shouted at him condescendingly.

Yuwen Qi Ye's sword blade was horizontal, and the cold light between the white blades pointed straight up, and I saw a flower in front of my eyes, and I only heard Qi Ye's familiar voice in my ears: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you let her go!"

"General Jingo, who is in danger on the cliff, is now in chaos. With 30,000 ambush soldiers outside Youzhou City, does the general feel difficult to deal with? I want to see how the undefeated God of War of the Great Zhou bows his head and begs for mercy today!" As he spoke, Helan waved his hand, and countless Turkic soldiers in armor swarmed out, and the head of the city was full of bows and crossbows, and they all aimed at the direction of Yuwen Qiye for a while.

"Helan Lonely, you used to say that I was a person from the Central Plains who won more than few, but now you are doing this, have you forgotten your own shame back then?" I shouted loudly with my throat torn apart, "What kind of honor can I be considered a hostage?"

"When will I be considered to be above board?" Helan asked rhetorically, "You haven't tried any other means yet, such as ......" He said as he walked over, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an indescribable playfulness, "Slowly torturing you in front of Yuwen Qiye's eyes......

I felt bad in my heart, and asked in a hateful voice, "What do you want to do?"

Helan looked at my bleeding wrist and stretched out her five fingers into my wound. The hard nails collided with the flesh, and there was a bone-chilling pain in my numb wrists, and I couldn't help but let out a moan, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Helan took out his finger violently, and showed off the blood stained on his palm to Yuwen Qi Ye, "This is the blood of your beloved woman, you can't even protect her now, what kind of hero can you call it?"

"Don't hurt her!" Yuwen Qiye roared angrily, "If you want my life, I'll give it to you!" But if it is for me to betray the court and surrender to the Turks, even if I die with her, I will not agree!"

Qi Ye's every word smashed on my heart, heavy, but like a trickling stream pouring into my heart, my eyes were extremely sore. In a critical moment, after all, he understands me.

A burst of crisp applause rang out, and Ah Tuan clapped his hands and praised: "Brother, he is really the only hero in Baturu's heart!" As soon as his words fell, Helan Lin also clapped his palms, but his face was still mocking, "What a loyal general Jinwu! The Central Plains Imperial Court betrayed you, but just gave you a princess, does it make you forget the blood feud on your body? What a deep Yuwen Qi night!"

"Shut up for me!" Helan Lone's words completely angered Yuwen Qiye, he took out the bow and arrow on his back and put it on his shoulder, "Even if I am buried here today, I will pull you to be buried with me!"

"Kuro, don't!" I struggled to finally call out his name, my heart hanging in the air. Helan Lin took out a short dagger and cut it gently on the hemp rope that bound me, I looked at Yuwen Qiye's cold face under the high platform, revealing a concern, facing the wind, moving his mouth, but he didn't feel afraid.

"Gao Xiyue, don't speak!" he stopped my lips and teeth that I wanted to open, "I can die for you, I have no regrets in this life!"

I saw him squirm his thin lips slightly, and utter a word that only I could understand. My whole body was shaky, my eyes were tightly closed, and my mind was full of the lip words he had told me.

Yuwen Qiye's voice sounded again: "Helan Lone, how can you let her go!"

"How?" Helan put his words to his mouth and chewed on, and suddenly said as if jokingly, "If you dare to catch my three double-thorned short dysprosiums with your bare hands, I will no longer torture her!"

A soldier presented a square plate with three gold-tipped short dysstools placed on a black brocade handkerchief, which were different from ordinary arrows, and the short arrows were full of sharp thorns on all sides, which were the most bloody weapons on the battlefield. If the spearhead is connected by human hands, coupled with the strength of the archery, the backstab scrapes off the flesh and bones all the way, and the person who is hit by the arrow should suffer from the heart of the world.

Qi Ye's old injuries have not healed, and the ambush in Youzhou has also greatly damaged his vitality, and now if he receives three more stabs...... I shook my head vigorously, and kept saying no, Helan saw Qi Ye looking at me in a distracted manner, and his expression was hesitant, which increased the strength of the rope.

"Stop!" Qi Ye took off his armor and shouted, "Helan Lin, if you have any tricks, let the horse come over! With my Yuwen Qiye here, no one is allowed to touch her at all!"
