Chapter 8: Arrows

Wei Yuanli was taken aback by this angry voice, turned around and scolded, "Who is grandma's ......" Seeing the other party's appearance, his face changed in an instant, "It turned out to be the prince of the world, disrespectful, disrespectful." “

Liang Jin looked extremely angry, "I'm asking you, who gave you the will to release the arrow!" “

"It was acquiesced in by the palace." Wei Yuanli didn't know where he had offended this prince, "There is a lot of blood here, the prince should not care about it, and the lower official will send someone to send you back." “

"Less nonsense!" Liang Jin clenched his fists with both hands, "Whether it is acquiesced in the palace or not, I will quickly withdraw these archers!" “

"This ......" Wei Yuanli looked embarrassed, "Lord Shizi, aren't you embarrassed to get off the official?" “

Wei Yuanli had already boasted in the imperial court a few days ago that he would definitely be able to solve this disaster for the victims. If you promise Liang Jin at this time, you will be punished and demoted, and you will be impeached by the imperial history at worst, which will cause you to be killed!

"You don't come and pretend with me!" Liang Jin understood the little Jiujiu in his heart, "This son of the world will ask you a word, this archer, do you withdraw or not?" “

"Lord Shizi, are you persecuting?!" Wei Yuanli had secretly scolded countless times in his heart, but he still had a helpless expression on his face, "Forgive me for my courage......"

Before he finished speaking, Liang Jin suddenly took a step back and stepped directly on the concave and convex battlements on the city tower, "If you don't withdraw the archers, this son will jump from this city tower!" The prince of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion died in front of the commander of the five battalions of your patrol, and I will see how you will give your father an errand when you arrive! “

Wei Yuanli was suddenly shocked, "Lord Shizi! We have something to say, you come down first! “

The tower of the West City Gate is more than ten zhang high, and if Liang Jin jumps down, he will definitely die.

"This Shizi asks you again, this archer, do you withdraw or not?!" Liang Jin stood on the city wall, raised his voice, and asked sharply.

"Withdraw, withdraw, the subordinate will order to go down!" Of course, Wei Yuanli couldn't afford to provoke the big Buddha of Dingyuan Hou Shizi, so he hurriedly ordered the people behind, "Don't hurry up?!" Tell all the archers to go down! “

"Yes." One of the officers behind him received the order and ran in the direction of the archers.

"Lord Shizi, look, the lower officials have withdrawn the archers, so hurry down!" Wei Yuanli was so nervous that his voice was trembling.

"When they all go down to the city tower, this son will naturally come down!" Liang Jin said firmly.

Yu Ruoxu didn't know why Liang Jin appeared on the city tower, and she couldn't hear what he said to Wei Yuanli. I saw that three or two sentences of negotiation failed, and he actually stood on the city wall close to his side, with a posture of forcing him to death.

And the archers, who were preparing for the second wave of shooting, actually retreated from the city tower one after another!

Yu Ruoxu probably understood what was going on, and the heart she was carrying was slightly directional, and she couldn't help but look at Liang Jin who was standing on the battlement with the scorching sun worriedly, and couldn't help muttering, "The city tower is so high, isn't this person afraid of falling down?" ”

Just as Liang Jin and Wei Yuanli were confronting each other, suddenly there was a neighing of horses behind him, Yu Ruoxu looked back and was shocked-

Holding a long black whip in his hand, the Marquis of Dingyuan rode a tall black horse, followed by several armor-clad soldiers, rushing towards the city gate, raising dust behind him.

This is the first time that Yu Ruoxu has seen the Marquis of Dingyuan up close, and the eyes that are exactly the same as the Queen Mother seem to be burning with fire, and the voice is like a bell, "The Queen Mother has spoken!" ”

When the people on the city tower heard the words "the queen mother's message", the tense atmosphere immediately stagnated, and they only heard the Marquis of Dingyuan go up to the city tower, "The queen mother has an order, and Wei Yuanli, the commander of the five battalions of the capital patrol, immediately sent someone to take the victims to the western suburbs of Huangzhuang to settle down, and immediately execute it, there must be no mistakes!" ”

"What?!" Yu Ruoxu seemed to have heard it wrong, "Go to Huangzhuang to settle down?" “

It's not to open the city gates, but to lead the victims to the western suburbs?!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Wei Yuanli was the first to react, "The minister obeys the order!" Then he issued an order to the defenders under the city gate, "All assemble, open half of the city gate, and drive the victims to the western suburbs of Huangzhuang!" “

"Yes!" The black-pressed soldier immediately opened the latch on the city gate, "One, two, three, push the door!" “

"Squeak-" The city gate on the right opened a crack, and Yu Ruoxu only saw layer after layer of victims, lying on the ground horizontally, with feather arrows stuck in their backs and chests, and the blood flowed like a broken blood bag. Some of the people in the pool of blood have not completely lost their breath, their hands and feet are still spasming, some of their eyes are wide, the corners of their mouths are still foaming with blood, and they don't know what they are holding onto, and only a few of the victims survived, kneeling beside their dead relatives, crying eagerly.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth, her heart trembling.

It's simply ...... Hell on earth!

Seeing the people patrolling the fifth battalion open the city gate and walk out, the rest of the victims were full of horror and unconsciously gathered together. One of them, seven or eight years old, suddenly seemed to have gone mad, and rushed towards the defenders with a hideous face, shouting heartbreakingly, "I'm going to kill you!" ”

The defender standing at the front frowned, and the spear in his hand was raised, and with a "bang", it pierced the child's chest.

"Another one looking for bad luck!" The defender drew his spear nonchalantly, and a blood-colored smoke suddenly splashed from the child's chest, and his eyes fell to his knees, crooked limply.

"Listen, everyone else!" Wei Yuanli slowly paced forward from behind, "The Queen Mother is gracious, let you go to the western suburbs of Huangzhuang to settle down, this official will send someone to send you over, if anyone dares to mess around on the road......" As he spoke, he lifted the dead child from the ground, like a crushed sack, "He is your fate!" “

Everyone was silent, and the city gate that had just made a lot of noise was silent at this time.

Wei Yuanli slapped his hands and smiled, "What are you doing in a daze?!" Why don't you take it with you? ”

The defenders did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly escorted the remaining victims to the western suburbs. Yu Ruoxu looked up in a daze, and saw Liang Jin standing sideways on the city wall as if he had been robbed of his soul, looking straight at the dead victims with his eyes, like an old monk who had settled down, motionless.

"Rebel!"

Dingyuanhou's voice was even more angry, "Why don't you hurry down?!" After reading so many sage books, will it only be such a bad thing! “

Yu Ruoxu had a "boom" in her head, as if she had heard this almost identical reprimand a long time ago-

"After reading the Tao of Confucius and Mencius for so many years, will you only do such bad things!"

Hearing Dingyuanhou's roar, Liang Jin seemed to come back to his senses, I don't know what happened, there was no trace of blood on his face, "Father......"

Before he could say anything, his body went limp, and he fell straight down from the castle tower.

"Lord Shizi!"

"Jin'er!"

Yu Ruoxu heard angry shouts in her ears, but they all seemed to have turned into chaos, and she only saw Liang Jin's face pale and planted headlong from the high city wall. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she caught a glimpse of an archer standing beside her, as if he was habitual, snatching the black gold iron bow from his body, and putting on a feather arrow, the bow opened like a full moon, and shot straight at Liang Jin.

With a "bang", the feather arrow grazed the corners of Liang Jin's robe, nailing his clothes to the city wall, and Liang Jin hung in the air like this. But the short feather arrow still couldn't bear his weight after all, and after a while, the feather arrow broke with a "click", and Liang Jin in a coma continued to fall, and at this time, the Marquis of Dingyuan had already rushed to the edge of the city tower and caught Liang Jin steadily with internal force.

One qiē happened so fast that everyone was almost dumbfounded, and Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Liang Jin land safely.

"Miss, your hand!" The archer just now came back to his senses and pointed to her hand.

Yu Ruoxu lowered her head, the black gold iron bow was too heavy for her, and she used too much force, the hard bowstring fell deep into her right hand, almost cutting off half of her fingers, and blood gushed like a spring.

She gasped and wanted to take out a handkerchief to wrap it, but as soon as she moved, a sharp pain came from her right shoulder, and the pain almost made her faint.

"Miss, are you alright?" The archer saw that her face was pale and sweaty, and he said, "I need to get a doctor to take a look." “

Yu Ruoxu was already in pain to the point that she was almost deaf, and in a hurry just now, she forgot the old injury on her shoulder, and with this sudden effort, she only felt that her right shoulder blade was about to break.

She couldn't remember what happened after that, only a few fragments had an impression, as if it was in chaos, someone sent her to Yufu, Xiu'er and the housekeeper's faces shook in front of her, and they called her anxiously, and then they fell unconscious.

The people in the dream were like a marquee, she seemed to be still in Hechuan Academy, and Yue Zirong led them to recite the Book of Poetry, "The mountains look up, and the scenery stops." Although I can't reach it, my heart yearns for it. The warm voice was like a ten-mile spring breeze blowing on her heart, so that she couldn't help but quietly cover her crimson cheeks with a book.

But let Yue Zirong see it again, and said angrily, "Senior Sister Yu, Master said, be encouraged in time, the years don't treat others, why don't you hurry up and sit upright and study hard?" “

She looked up at him, obviously angry, but there was no trace of anger in her eyes, as if she had a doting look, as gentle as a pot of intoxicating spring wine.

"Senior brother is right." She stuck out her tongue, sat up straight, and said in a straight voice, "The white horse is in the valley of the sky." A bunch of raw people, its people are like jade. ”

Yue Zirong had a helpless expression, just smiled wryly and shook his head, and continued to read it with everyone.

How long has it been since she has recited the Book of Poetry like this?

Before I had time to think about it, the picture in front of me turned, as if I had returned to the West Gate under the scorching sun, and the ground was full of people who had been shot, and the blood was unbearable. And Liang Jin stood on the city wall with a pale face, his body was weak, and he fell straight down like this.

She seemed to snatch the bow and arrow of the person next to her, recalling the archery technique that Yue Zirong had trained herself, she pulled the bow like a full moon, and the feather arrow shot straight towards Liang Jin.

But Liang Jin, who fell from the city tower in front of her, suddenly turned into Yue Zirong's face, she clearly saw his desolate smile, and said softly, "Senior Sister Yu-"

The arrow was deeply inserted into Yue Zirong's chest, and the snow-white arrow feathers were stained with red blood, trembling slightly in his chest.
