Chapter 182: The Fall of the Golden City (17)
Gu Erniang was stumbling in her steps, and when she walked to the wooden pillar, she saw Xue Rengao leaving Yu Li and staring at the city gate in a daze. She followed his gaze, and several generals at the gate of the city led their own soldiers, neatly lined up at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate all came down from the city tower and raised the huge crossbar behind the city gate together.
Xue Rengao took it and roared angrily: "What are you going to do!" ”
A Lang general stepped forward and clenched his fists and said loudly: "Please Duke Xue order to abandon the city and open the door to welcome the Tang army." ”
Xue Rengao laughed angrily, and in an instant, he raised his long knife and slashed at the general. Na Lang will shrewdly dodge back a few steps, Xue Rengao is angry and swings his knife indiscriminately, and even half of Na Lang's clothes can't be touched. The soldiers lined up behind him placed their blades on the ground on one side in unison, and shouted in unison, "Open the city to welcome the King of Qin, open the city to welcome the King of Qin......"
Xue Rengao lowered the long knife in his hand, took two steps back, shook his body, and almost fell to the ground, but taught Gu Erniang to reach out and help him.
"Whether Xue Gong wants it or not, we can no longer lead the brothers to fill the knife in vain. I also hope that Xue Gong ......, "That Lang will bow down and give another salute."
The first blow of the battering ram sounded on the city gate, shaking as if the entire city wall shook a few times, Xue Rengao supported the ground with a long knife, stood in place with his eyes closed, and nodded helplessly and weakly. In an instant, the soldiers flocked to the back of the city gate like a tide, and together they lifted the thick beams.
Gu Erniang quietly put down the arm supporting Xue Dalang and stepped back in small steps. The crowd downstairs in the city was chaotic, and it was no longer clear who was who, Mu Qing looked eagerly at the wooden pillar that bound Yu in the prisoner's car, but only saw countless legs running and shaking in front of her eyes, no matter how she couldn't see the wooden pillar.
A wave of dizziness hit her mind, and suddenly a hand reached into the prisoner car, sharp nails pinched deep into her arm, dragging her out, Gu Erniang's almost crazy voice exploded in her ears, "I am leaving, and I will take you with me, so as to teach you that you will never see your husband and son again in this life!" ”
Before he could drag the second time, a feather arrow with the sound of whirring wind decisively pierced into the wooden cage pole next to Gu Erniang's wrist, only two fingers wide from her wrist, the white feather at the end of the arrow was still trembling left and right, and a crisp voice shouted angrily: "You also have to weigh whether you have this ability." ”
The big red robe, the silver bright light armor flashed, Yinghua threw away the bow in his hand, jumped off the horse, grabbed Gu Erniang's wrist with one hand, and took Mu Qing out of the prisoner car with the other hand.
Mu Qing's body, along with the burning anger in her heart, rushed out of the prisoner car, and the anger drove away all the qi in her heart. She narrowed her eyes, Gu Erniang in front of her seemed to be burning into a ball of fire in her eyes, and there was only one thought in her mind, she wanted to trample on this ball of fire.
An urgent thought flashed, the sword on Yinghua's waist had taught Mu Qing to draw it at a very fast speed, she couldn't remember how she felt the last time she held the blade of the sword, and she didn't have time to look back, at this moment, she only had the bitterness in her heart, so she grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed Gu Erniang with all her anger.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to reach Gu Erniang's heart, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and slammed into Yinghua's waist with all his strength, Yinghua was taken aback, and the hand holding Gu Erniang's wrist was unconsciously loosened.
The sword body shook with Mu Qing's hand, and the moment when her hands felt the blade piercing the skin and penetrating deeply into her body as she wished, it was so refreshing.
But she heard Tao Niang's sharp scream, which woke up Emu Qing, and she suddenly withdrew her long sword. Looking down, I saw Tao Niang's eyes closed, a painful look, one hand covering her heart, dark red blood continued to ooze from the fingers, the blood stains on the left half of her body expanded more and more, and her body slowly fell to the ground.
When Mu Qing looked up to look for Gu Erniang again, he saw a carriage galloping away. She looked at the peach girl on the ground in annoyance, pursed her lips, and walked away from her, ignoring it again.
The flesh and blood blurred figure was no longer visible on the wooden pillar, Mu Qing numbly brushed aside the crowd swaying around in front of him, his eyes were black for a while, and he suddenly retreated, paused a few steps under his feet, and was reluctant to step forward to see Yu Li, who had been relieved.
"Sister?" Yinghua gently pushed her behind her, and urged in a low voice: "He, I'm calling you......"
Mu Qing suddenly woke up like a dream, froze every line on his face, and walked towards him step by step. There was a dark cloak of unknown people on the ground, and Yu Li was placed on this cloak, and the great pain had distorted his face, and his robe could not be seen in its original color, and the deep and shallow bloodstains, dried and freshly wet, were mixed together. She stared blankly at him, trying to find out from the crumbling body the handsome shape of the day.
Du Ruhui and Zhao Cang knelt on the ground on both sides of him, Du Ruhui supported the back of his head with one hand, Zhao Cang carefully lifted his robe, examined his wounds in detail, the more he looked at his face, the more he looked at it, the more his face became heavier, and finally reached out to probe the pulse on his neck, and shook his head in embarrassment.
"Doctor Zhao, you want to save him......" Seeing him shake his head, Mu Qing's legs were weak, and he rushed forward regardless of it, grabbed Zhao Cang's arm and shook it, begging: "Wan wants to save him......"
Yu Li lifted his eyelids with difficulty, only a slight glimmer of luster under his eyes indicated that he was opening his eyes, and he gasped a few times, Fang moved his mouth tremblingly, "Qi Niang......"
"Brother, brother, Qi Niang is here." Mu Qing held his palm, which was already unconscious.
"I didn't expect it...... In this life, I can still see you...... Very good. Pity...... If he didn't see Shiro, he must have ...... Born, whatever you ......" Yu Li sighed contentedly, tugging the corners of his lips slightly, but he was no longer able to make a smile, the corners of his lips were not lowered, and suddenly twitched uncontrollably, and a lot of blood foam overflowed from his mouth.
Zhao Cang hurriedly stretched out his hand to probe his neck again, his eyes darkened, "Qi Niang, if you have something to say, just say something." ”
Mu Qing held back his tears and forcibly hid his crying, it was clear that he had a full stomach before he could say anything, and he couldn't say a word when he got to his mouth.
Yu Lizhong exhaled again, and Mu Qing in front of him gradually looked so unreal, as if when he was a child, in the Gu Mansion under Yuhangjing Mountain, shaking the drooping hair on both sides of his head, the light blue tied hair silk danced with it, and he sat on the edge of the pond with his legs hanging down to reach the big lotus flower in the water. A Sogdian woman with a white beaded blobe with a folded lapel, a swift waist, bright eyebrows, and a whip in her hand, chased him and begged him for the leather belt she had dropped from her horse.
He used his last strength, turned his eyes to Mu Qing, and moved his lips slightly, "Jincheng ......" no longer had the strength to close his upper lip, his mouth was half open, and when he was stunned for a while, his hand slipped weakly from Mu Qing's palm.
Mu Qing only felt that her heart was stripped of a piece of flesh by life, and the cold wind passed through the empty place in her heart, and the indescribable cold cringe. She knelt beside Yu Li, who was out of breath, staring blankly at his face, as if he would open his eyes again and smile at her in the next breath. After staring at him for a long time, he lay motionless like a cold stone, until Zhao Cang stepped forward to probe the snort and neck vein, and reached out to lift his chin to teach him to close his mouth. Her long-suppressed tears finally burst out of her eyes, and she sat down and covered her face and wept sadly.
Du Ruhui lightly put down the back of Yu Li's head, and Zhao Cang took two soldiers to collect the funeral, he turned his face to look at Mu Qing, and let out a deep sigh from his chest, and the pity in his eyes floated together, and he took her into his arms.
In a moment, she suddenly felt a heat on her shoulders and back in the dark, and her whole body was embraced into a warm embrace, her face was tightly pressed between the folds of the fabric of her robe, and the familiar breath was mixed with wisps of bloody filth, and she simply banished herself into the sorrow like a huge wave, curled up on his chest, and cried bitterly.
Yinghua shook her head and took two steps forward, probably to persuade her, Du Ruhui raised her hand to stop her, and said softly: "Just cry with her." As he spoke, he tightened his arms again, holding the back of her head and pressing it lightly to her chest.
Mu Qinghun cried for a while, since the death of her father and mother, she has never moved such a big grief, at this moment, she only felt that her chest was swollen and she couldn't catch her breath, she gasped a few times, bluffed Du Ruxuan, and was busy stroking her back to smooth her breath, "Brother Yu, if he knows, he doesn't want to see you like this, so it's better to stop and do serious things for him." He has no heirs to the clan, and now you are the only one left, if you blindly indulge in grief, who else can make him properly arranged. ”
Hearing this, Mu Qingfang raised his head from his arms blankly, gradually collected his tears, slowed down his sobbing, and shook his head helplessly, "Now that I am in the guest country, how should I treat it properly?" ”
"I have ordered someone to go to the longevity shop in the city to prepare for it, first decorate it for him, and then stop in the Jiyan Temple not far from the city gate, and temporarily entrust the monks to guard it. It would be nice if you could preside over it yourself, but ......," he helped her by the shoulders and slowly stood up with her in his arms, "leave this matter to me, and it will be okay for me to take care of it for you." After finishing the matter on this side of the city, I took a leave of absence from Erlang for a month, and helped the coffin back to Yuhang for the funeral. ”
Mu Qing moved his numb legs, stood firm on his arm, sniffed, and replied quietly: "He is from the Nanyang Yu family, and Yuhang is just a foster care place, not his hometown." For him, nowhere is not a guest house. Moreover, he mentioned to me that he would like to return to Jincheng and be buried with Yena. ”
Du Ruyan sighed again, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks with his palm, and nodded, "It's okay." ”R1152
