The land of thorns, falling snowfields. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was a cold wind over.

The two children staggered and ran hand in hand on the falling snowfield, the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind them.

That's the pursuers, that's the pace of death approaching step by step.

The sky, the flowing red clouds, were frozen and cracked in the cold wind, and finally solidified into a blood-like bright color.

Drip...... Answer.

Blood dripped down the corners of the boy's clothes and hit the green grass on the ground, bursting into a fine mist, and the boy's face was as pale as snow after excessive blood loss.

A black feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder, it was wounded by a stray arrow when the city of Chu was broken, and the cluster of arrows pierced his flesh and blood, and smeared a patch of red on his pale golden clothes.

He stumbled and fell among the grass.

Raising his snow-colored face, his eyes did not have the innocence of a child, nor the horror of facing death and life, he looked at the girl who had stopped because of his fall.

"Ning'er, you go first. He said.

The girl looked at the boy with a touch of stubbornness in her eyes. "I can't leave my brother alone. ”

She looked back, and Lin Guo's iron horse stepped through the dust on the falling snowfield, and approached with extreme speed.

She couldn't leave her brother alone.

At this moment, to stop is to die.

She had seen her father's head rolled down from his neck with a long knife, and his eyes were wide open.

Blood, blood all over the earth.

The queen mother protected her and her brother from the escape, and then a sword pierced the heart from behind the queen, and the red blade pierced through her plain clothes, only broken words broke between her lips and teeth.

"Hurry up!" was the last word spoken by the Queen Mother.

The elder brother took her hand and escaped from the palace city of Chu under the desperate protection of the guards.

Until this moment, only the two of them remained.

The girl looked at the boy, they were twins, their faces were the same, but at this moment, they all showed a touch of deep pain and regret.

Looking at each other's eyes, the black pupils seemed to be able to see the flaming red flags burning on the city walls.

Her words were childish: "Brother, why don't we die together and go to find my father and mother." ”

The boy's eyes flashed with a color of despair but relief, but he suddenly smiled, he looked at the girl in front of him with a smile and said, "Ning'er, don't be afraid, with my brother here, we won't die." ”

He took out a delicate dagger from his arms with his uninjured left hand and said, "Ning'er, take it, Brother Lu may not be by your side in the future, if you can live, you don't have to think about brother." He smiled lightly, "Anyway, we have exactly the same face, so if you want my brother, I will look for a mirror." ”

The boy smiled, his bloodless face was like a lotus blooming on the top of a snow-capped mountain, and for a moment there was a poignant and bright touch, but tears fell from his face.

"The children of the Chu family should not die in exile like this. He said, with a look of determination on his childish countenance.

The girl took the dagger in a daze, nodded heavily, and said, "We won't run away." She turned to the approaching Iron Knight, "I'm going to kill them." ”

In the distance, flags on the city walls toppled down, billowing black smoke rising up.

There is no spectacle, only the coldness of death.

With the blue sky overhead and the crystal green grass under their feet, two children holding hands turned around between heaven and earth and walked backwards.

The pace swayed slightly, but there was no hesitation.

The sound of horses' hooves was like a heavy war drum.

It's like...

Expedition.

-- This is the departure of two children.

……

The men on the horse mockingly surrounded them, and the girl drew her dagger and stepped forward, her eyes dyed with the ultimate in determination.

There was no trace of a dark color in the boy's eyes, and he suddenly staggered behind the girl.

The palms of the hands rose together, fell neatly, and fell heavily on the girl's neck.

The girl looked back at the boy in disbelief, and then fell limply.

The boy caught the girl, but with a single movement, the arrow that pierced his arm fell to the ground and pierced into the grass.

The shaft of the arrow rubbed against his flesh.

He slowly leaned over and laid the girl flat, his movements steady without a hint of trembling. Then he stood up lightly and looked at the soldiers and horses of the Lin Kingdom who had surrounded him.

The person who was the leader, he recognized, was Zhuang Xin, the head of the Lin State, he seemed to think about it, so he leaned over and saluted, his eyes became calm and quiet, he looked at Zhuang Xin and said, "Before killing me, I hope you will listen to me and say a few words." ”

Zhuang Xin looked at the boy in front of him with some playfulness.

Chu Guoguo was broken, and only two children escaped, and they had no possibility of escaping at the moment, he said: "It's not that Shizi'an has any last words. ”

The boy smiled lightly, the cluster of arrows still inserted between his arms shook slightly, and he said: "You Lin Guo destroyed my Chu State in this way, it must be full of joy and praise for merit, even if it is like this, but the wealth of jewelry is not worthy of such a grand celebration banquet." He asked earnestly and curiously, "How about this son make that gift?"

How about this son make that gift?

He asked curiously and somewhat cutely.

"At the celebration banquet, killing me again in front of the people of Lin Country will definitely arouse the unity of the people of Lin Kingdom, and it will also make King Lin's ambition and ability known to the world, is this good?"

Isn't that good?

He still asked curiously and cutely, but in the midst of his words was his own life and death.

Zhuang Xin looked at the boy in front of him, his face was as pale as snow, his face was covered by blood and mud, the arrow pierced his right arm, but there was no pain in his expression, he was just a six-year-old boy, but at the moment he was talking about his life and death so calmly and cutely.

He looked at the boy warily and asked, "What the hell are you thinking?"

Such a death would be extremely humiliating and humble, the Chu royal family was extremely loyal, and the king of Chu refused to be captured and killed, and the queen died to protect her son.

This boy should know what it means to be captured, and that such a humiliating death means not only the destruction of the country, but also the humiliating submission.

But it is precisely like that, which can show the ambition of the Lin State to compete in the world to the extreme, and condense the morale of the entire Lin State, he is right, the wealth of jewelry is far less exciting and exciting than the public surrender and death of the last prince of the Chu State.

The boy was silent, as if thinking about something, and did not answer for a moment.

Zhuang Xin looked at the silent boy and asked repeatedly, "What do you want?"

The boy thought for a moment and looked at the girl on the ground with her eyelids quietly closed.

"I want to beg you to spare my sister. He said.

His words were calm, slightly soft, without the humility of pleading, but he was indeed pleading, he whispered pleading with great earnestness, and with the sound of the words, he bent down and bowed, his head down to his chest.

Zhuang Xin looked at the boy in front of him.

The boy straightened the corners of his shirt slightly, then straightened up again.

The word added, "Otherwise, I would never have left with you alive." ”

There are still no turbulent words, no threats, and no determination to die, but it seems to flash a kind of coercion from the depths of the soul, and people can't help but follow his words.

Zhuang Xin looked at the sleeping girl in the grass, and said after a moment: "I promise you." ”

A princess of a dead country, for the unity of the whole country of Lin, this choice is not difficult to decide at all.

The boy finally looked at the girl, smiled softly and gently, and then he stretched out his hands and handed them to Zhuang Xin's eyes, and said, "Then take me away." ”

Ask for restraint.

Ask for death.

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the city wall of Chu was still surrounded by a sea of fire, and he did not choose to die vigorously, but chose another humiliating path.

"Father, mother, and sons, from now on, they are no longer worthy of the surname Chu. He silently read it in his heart.

……

The corpses scattered by the city wall were erected, and there were old and weak women and children as far as the eye could see.

But I don't know where the young man goes.

Three months ago, Lin Guo coerced Chu to make a contract, and borrowed 50,000 soldiers and horses of Chu to assist in fighting Yun State, as a promise of Lin State to protect Chu State in the troubled times.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Chu State were on the border between Lin and Yun to fight on the battlefield for the Lin State, but they did not know that the Lin State would destroy the contract in an instant.

The soldiers of Wochu, the land of attacking the clouds.

In an instant, he swept away and occupied a country without a thousand soldiers.

Lin Guo's calculation is really amazing.

……

The walls of Chu collapsed and smashed on the corpses of the old and weak women and children.

The white bones are mounds of mountains.

What a sin the common people?

……

The shattered light reflected on the green grass, gradually turning into a dull color, and at some point, the sky gradually darkened.

Between the blue sky and green grass, a man wrapped in black walked by, he picked up the sleeping girl on the ground, and continued to walk forward.

He sang softly in his mouth—

"Murder and revenge,

Who saved the Tianhe armor washers?

And now the whole country is drunk,

Where is the Qianqiu Han Molin ......"
