Chapter 39: Weeping Blood
"Chi Sheng! cheer up!" On the bumpy back of the horse, Chi Sheng lay on my back, spitting blood, staining my clothes.
My eyelids were pounding, and I didn't know what to do.
"Xingnu, where are we going?" I asked loudly as the hunting mountain wind blew, and I pulled the shirt of the man riding the horse in front of me.
"That'...... There!" the star slave whipped and pointed in the direction of the setting sun.
Chi Sheng suddenly grabbed my sleeve and said intermittently, "...... Take me ...... Put me down...... I'm dying......"
"Shut up!" I roared, "no one can die in front of me!"
"Heh......" Chi Sheng chuckled, his voice floating, "I'm not afraid...... Drag you down...... I was just...... I just want to see Helan Lone's last side......"
My heart moved, as if I had been hit with a blunt object, and I looked at him silently.
"You...... You don't have to blame me...... Sister, she wanted to kill me a long time ago......" Chi Sheng said sadly, "She didn't come to save me at that time...... It was she who hid on the young lady's dresser and stole the young lady's jewelry...... Accidentally knocked over the lamp...... She was disfigured by the fire...... I took the blame for her and was beaten badly...... She didn't come to save me at all......"
"Do you know how I've endured all these years? I can't trust women anymore...... You're all femme fatales...... Even my sister...... Only the Lord is true to me, I ...... I want to see him again, Chi Sheng...... Chi Sheng is also considered to be dead without regrets. ”
A crow flew from the western mountain, making a lonely mournful cry, and the whole dead and silent mountain was impermeable, shrouded in a silent breath of death.
Greed, hatred, hatred, and hatred, the five aggregates are empty. This poisonous fire buried a pair of sisters and brothers who depended on each other in the past, spread dirty desires on the white bones of Sen Ran, and how much blood-drenched truth was hidden under the mask like brocade? I thought of Manguyi, who was innocently killed, and my eyes were red with grief and indignation.
"Xingnu! Turn around! I'm going to find Helan Lone!"
The chaotic hooves of horses all the way disturbed my mind, and countless questions swirled in my mind. Why did Xingnu and Manguyi appear here? Why did Helan leave me in the bamboo house? He was still there when I returned to the black house?
When I kicked the door of the black room that opened and closed me, it was empty, and I ran a few steps to the front yard, where Helan was sitting alone in the hall, and the Shura on the mask was still terrifying.
"You actually came back alive?" he glanced at Chi Sheng, who was being supported by the star slave, "and brought back such a dead man." ”
"Helan Lone, don't talk nonsense, where did you hide the fish?"
"Seyu, do you mean her?" A high-five, a dying woman was thrown to the ground, with an ugly face, it was Seyu.
"She dared to poison the hostages I captured without authorization, and came to threaten me, she really wanted to die!"
I didn't have time to sympathize, so I asked Helan Lone: "Chisheng was poisoned, is there an antidote to the fish?"
"Antidote?" Helan sneered, "You can't protect yourself, and you still want an antidote?"
"In any case, this matter is caused by me. I don't have the leisure to be compassionate to others, but I don't want others to die for me! These karmic debts will not be paid off in a lifetime with high interest rates!"
"What a karmic debt!, then who should I repay my karmic debt?" Helan Silence's tone was solemn and cold to the bone, "I won't save a useless person for nothing, while you still have some value to me now, it's better to be obedient!"
"You ......"
"Is it for the Lord...... Is Chi Sheng useless anymore?" Chi Sheng's anger was exhausted, his face turned iron-blue, he looked at Helan Lin with a wry smile, and interrupted my words, "What I am is a Soul Breaker...... After being poisoned, it was very painful at the time, but it was a long time to suffer in one breath...... Lord, Chi Sheng endured the heart-rending pain, and just wanted to see you again...... Why do you say that?"
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Helan stood aside listening to Chi Sheng's decision, not knowing what expression was under the mask.
"The Lord misses the eldest princess of Chengyang...... But...... I...... I'm not reconciled......"
Chi Sheng no longer had the strength to spit out a single word, and his vain words came to my ears intermittently, not particularly clear, but they made my whole nerves tense.
A cold light crossed the corner of my eye, and just as I was about to pull Chi Sheng up and ask him what was going on, Helan Lin stabbed a long knife into his chest.
Blood splattered everywhere, and I was so frightened that I pulled the star slave back again and again, looking at the scene in front of me in disbelief.
"Lord......" Chi Sheng held the blade of the knife in one hand, his hands were stained with blood, "I can die in your hands...... Chi Sheng died without regrets......"
The fish fainted in fright, and Chisheng lay in a pool of blood, like a piece of paper, tattered, but with a serene smile on his face.
I stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Helan Lin's sleeve, and asked, "What did Chi Sheng just say? Why do you want to kill him?"
Helan looked at the bloodstained cold blade in his hand, and said casually: "Whoever betrays me must die." Before he could finish speaking, the long knife, which had just drunk human blood, plunged straight into the belly of the fish.
I gasped a few times, looking at the two who died under Helan's ruthless knife in an instant, and for the first time I really saw what it means to be ruthless.
"This dumb brother of Allure is very affectionate to you, and he secretly followed him when he went on patrol, I was afraid that he was following Allure and hindering my big business, but I didn't expect him to be following you. He Lanlin threw away the long knife in his hand and looked at me and Xingnu, "I sent him to Fengming Mountain back then, intending to make him my eyes and ears in the future, but I didn't expect him to have a love for you." ”
I looked at Helan Lin in shock, "Xingnu was sent to Fengming Mountain by you?"
"You may not know the Lu Dao, the northern kingdom was divided and surrendered to the Turks, and Allure is the last princess in their fallen royal family. Xingnu was lost in the war in his early years, and was rescued by Yuwen Qiye, and later if I hadn't been discovered in time on the battlefield, I don't know how much I would have missed a chess piece. ”
Allure turned out to be the last princess in the north? So Xingnu is the prince of the north? Thinking of the history of the Gaozu era and the war between the north and the south, I suddenly shuddered, it turned out that the pillow man who accompanied my father and the emperor day and night turned out to be the princess of the enemy country!
I turned my head and looked at the star slave incredulously, he began to avoid my gaze, I finally understood his background, not a mountain child, but a hundred times more complex than a mountain child. And his home has long been buried in the hands of our Gao family ancestors.
"But this younger brother of Allure is not as obedient as her...... Oh, he thinks he can protect you alone?
Helan Lone's words suddenly made me alarmed, and I subconsciously protected the star slave: "What do you want to do?"
Helan sneered: "Since you can't escape, then you'd better follow my arrangement." ”
An ominous omen crossed my mind, and I pretended to be calm: "You say, how do you want me to cooperate with you?" but only if you are not allowed to kill anyone again!" "Okay! worthy of being the princess of the Zhou Dynasty, you really have the courage!" Helan Lin became inexplicably excited, and I suddenly remembered Chi Sheng's words before he died, only an intermittent sentence, but I faintly grasped some clues.
According to this situation, Helan colluded with the Xiao family, but it was obviously Helan who slaughtered the boat that day. The people of the Xiao family are all scheming and will never rashly hijack the emperor in their own realm. It can be seen that there are some problems in the relationship between Helan and Xiao.
"Prince Helan has something to say, staying in this deep mountain, hiding is not a long-term solution......"
"Lord, Oh no! The shadow man under the command of the Yunnan Jiedu has already searched our hiding place! Now we are at the bottom of the mountain!" Before I could finish my words, the thin monkey stumbled in, "Lord, let's go!"
As soon as there was a long whistle, a carriage came speeding over, and Helan Lin grabbed me into the carriage and shouted to the groom outside the carriage: "Go south over the mountains! Before tomorrow night, rush to Yizhou!"
