There was a mess all around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The man's face was covered with blood, and he knelt in the camp tent to report the battle situation to Zhu Di, his voice was not loud, but it was faintly audible. There were people coming and going in front of him, and his footsteps were mixed and disordered, but Xia Yejin couldn't see anything and couldn't hear clearly.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain turned into water droplets, pouring down frantically, smashing on the face and body, but it didn't hurt at all.
"You told Zhu Gaoxu the route of the march to the south?" , Xia Yejin grabbed Mu Yan's collar, and the strongly suppressed anger penetrated through the fine rain curtain, like a sharp sword, making Mu Yan subconsciously want to retreat.
But in the end, she didn't move.
Just stood there stiff, like a death row inmate about to face capital punishment. Or maybe she was just responding negatively, the situation suddenly changed, it was beyond Mu Yan's original plan, she needed to pause and clear her thoughts.
However, Xia Yejin didn't intend to confront her for too long, but in an instant, as if she had exhausted her life's strength, she let go, turned around and rushed into the vast rain and mist.
Xiao Lin's worried voice was drowned out by the sound of the rain, and she couldn't hear anything.
There was only one thought in her heart, she must find Zhu Gaoxu.
"Do you know what the most painful way to die is?"
"What is it?"
"It's falling into the endless abyss, in the process, you can't rise, you can't dock, you can't even die, you just keep falling until you're exhausted, until you use your last breath, can you imagine this feeling?"
There is no way to ascend, no way to dock, and no way to even die right away.
I can only watch despair slowly approach step by step, very slowly, so slow that I thought that the time around me had stopped, but despair continued to spread, invading you, occupying you, until finally it became you. At the beginning, I may still have a glimmer of hope, shouting for help, struggling hard, and after failing countless times, I can no longer persevere, so I simply give up, I want to be a hundred, I want to break myself.
But despair is spreading, and death is delayed.
Falling all the time, dying, exhausted, unable to move.
You can't even do it by yourself.
Quietly feel the breath of despair raging and spreading, and feel the helplessness of life being exhausted inch by inch.
Howling, screaming, shouting, but in the end, you can only choose to let go.
The rain was pouring down, and the cotton clothes on his body were full of rain, and every step he took was like a thousand pounds.
The mist in front of her was filled, and the fine rain ran down her cheeks, and Xia Yejin actually tasted a trace of bitterness.
How so?
How could Zhu Gaoxu die?
In a few days, he would lead a large army across the Baigou River and break the last line of defense of the southern army; He will make many military exploits and become the most brave and good young general in the Battle of Jingyan; He will be crowned King of Han after the pinnacle instead of sitting in that seat; He would marry and have children; He will not be willing to accept defeat and fight back......
Although the final ending is sad, he will not leave this world prematurely at such a high-spirited age.
It shouldn't be like this.
What went wrong?
She didn't have time to think about it, but her feet slipped and fell heavily into the rain-soaked mire.
When she looked up again, a long knife was in front of her.
The soldier who had just gone and returned looked at her condescendingly, his slender eyes revealing murderous intent.
"Follow me to the prince."
He pulled Xia Yejin up from the ground, dragged her forward, and walked forward.
Xia Yejin sighed silently.
stole Zhu Di's handwritten letter, she was ready to be discovered, but she didn't expect that she would be arrested so soon.
The place where Zhu Gaoxu was defeated was in the forest near the Baigou River, not too far, but she didn't have a chance to take a look at it in person.
Xiao Lin was at a loss, and just when he decided to put Mu Yan aside first to chase Xia Yejin, he saw her with a knife around her neck, and she was forced to come over from the rain and fog.
Surprised and flustered, he rushed forward to find the person to theorize, but was pushed to the ground by the other party. By the time he got up from the ground and staggered over, Xia Yejin had already been brought to Zhu Di.
- Lord Wang, this person is a fine work.
The knee socket was hit hard, Xia Yejin's legs were weak, and he knelt directly in front of Zhu Di.
Both teams were ambushed, and Zhu Di soon realized that the Yan army's marching route had been leaked, and he was worried that he couldn't find the inner ghost, and Xia Yejin's appearance happened to face his knife.
And stealing his handwritten letters?
It all makes sense.
But at this moment, he didn't have too much leisure to accompany Xia Yejin around the corner, and after asking a few words, he couldn't speak, and then directly ordered to kill the public.
"Lord Wang, Ye Jin is not an internal ghost, and he can testify against his humble position-"
Xiao Lin rushed in and knelt in front of Zhu Di covered in water.
Before coming in, he subconsciously glanced at Mu Yan, but until this moment, she still didn't say anything except standing there still.
"The intercessor is the same as the spy!"
The unexpected defeat of the Yan army made Zhu Di's heart tremble, he couldn't listen to anything, and he didn't need to listen to it, he was just a soldier, even if he killed by mistake?
- I'll be fine.
When he was dragged out, he couldn't bear to see Xiao Lin's desperate appearance with tears in his eyes, Xia Yejin said to him with his lips.
Saying this, it's just a breath of recklessness.
When she really saw the big knife in front of her, she still felt uncontrollably weak all over.
But for the soldiers who have been mixed with the sea of corpses and blood all year round, killing a person is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, and it is only a blink of an eye.
Xia Yejin knelt on the ground, the rain continued to hit her body, and the cold seemed to give birth to her feet, penetrating layer by layer, and finally entering the blood veins and bone marrow.
The executioner raised his hand and held the knife, and Xia Yejin closed his eyes.
This time, no one rode a horse and galloped past to help her recover a life from under the knife; No one slain her horse and dragged her out of danger; No one pretended to look at her and listen to her ask strange and funny questions; No one was disgusted anymore, but they still listened patiently to her chatter; No one trusted her as unconditionally as he did...... No one anymore.
Filled with despair, she suddenly wished that death would come sooner.
There was a muffled snort behind her, Xia Yejin opened her eyes suddenly, only to see the executioner who was going to kill her fall in response. Her eyes widened, looking at Xiao Lin who was holding the sharp stone in her hand, and the despair in her heart spread again.
Xiao Lin walked through the heavy rain curtain and knelt beside Xia Yejin, "Ye Jin, you run, hurry up!" ...... now"
Before the words were finished, the whole person was hugged by Xia Yejin, she turned around with some difficulty to protect him, and in the rain and mist, Xiao Lin saw a sharp sword and stabbed her back.
