Chapter 298: Farewell
But before Lin Jue could stabilize his mind and think about it, the second wave of gunpowder exploded again!
Because of the foundation of the previous time, the power of this time was even more violent, and it directly blew up several pillars of the main hall! In an instant, the entire hall became a dilapidated building that was about to collapse!
"Boss, are you alright?"
After Liu Man and Qinghe solved Agata, they heard a noise here and hurried over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"Take them away."
Nangong Yi pointed at Lin Jue and the contract husband who had fallen into a coma.
"Boss, this red hair is also going to be taken away?"
Liu Man asked with some puzzlement, pointing to the contractor.
The indentured man is the prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and he has always done a lot of evil, treacherous and cunning, and his hands have not known how many lives have been contaminated, such people, even if they die here, there is no pity, why should they bother to save it? And looking at the current appearance of the contract husband, it seems that he is highly poisoned in his body, can he be saved?
"You take him out first."
Nangong Yi did not explain, but gave an order.
Liu Man knew Nangong Yi and knew that he had his own plans, so even if he was unwilling in his heart, he still dragged the contractor out first.
"What about you?"
Lin Jue asked.
Although it happened suddenly and surrounded by danger, her mind was still clear.
The jade stones on the roof of the main hall began to fall one after another, and many ministers were overwhelmed by the fallen stone pillars, but many more began to flee with rolling and crawling. Ah Wu tightly protected Ling Mo and was about to go out, but suddenly a large group of people rushed out from the side gate and surrounded them!
It looks like a person from the Four Princes.
Although he himself became a prisoner of the Six Princes, he was able to keep his hands behind. Lin Jue suddenly remembered what the fourth prince said when he was arrested just now, it turned out that he had always kept a back hand, but everyone was careless and didn't find out.
"You go first, I'll join you later", Nangong Yi glanced at the hall that was in disarray due to the heat wave of the explosion, and said quickly.
"No, we have to be together!"
Lin Jue was unprecedentedly stubborn.
According to the current situation, maybe there will be a third and fourth wave of gunpowder, even if Nangong Yi is the first in the world in martial arts, he can't beat the power of gunpowder, plus the guards led by the six princes and people from all walks of life, even if he has the ability to fly, he can't break out of the encirclement!
Ling Mo's troops suffered heavy losses under the impact of gunpowder, but at this time, the men and horses of the four princes appeared.
The two sides began to fight.
Ah Wu protected Ling Mo and quietly left from the side door.
The hall became even more flustered, and the pungent smell of gunpowder was accompanied by a strong smell of blood, which made people can't help but gause.
Emperor Zhaoyang is important, and it is also important to defend the country, but these are not comparable to Nangong Yi's own life, if a person doesn't even have his life, what is the use of keeping these things?
Lin Jue doesn't care about Emperor Zhaoyang, or any beautiful country, she is short-sighted, and all she wants is the safety of Nangong Yi alone, so no matter what, she will not leave first this time, and she will never allow Nangong Yi to leave her alone.
"Don't be so stubborn."
Nangong Yi was a little helpless.
The heat wave of the explosion hit, and people felt inexplicably anxious.
"Do you want to leave me behind?" , Lin Jue endured the surging emotions and grabbed Nangong Yi's hand, "Nangong Yi, don't forget that there are still a bunch of accounts accumulated between the two of us, do you think that such a hero can be offset!" β
Nangong Yi didn't answer, but glanced at Lin Jue deeply, and then he glanced at Qinghe next to him, Qinghe understood, hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lin Jue, looked at her and said, "Girl, let's go first, and when the general settles it here, he will come to meet us." β
Confluent?
Lin Jue smiled bitterly.
It's not that she doesn't believe Nangong Yi's words, nor does she like to be worrying and sentimental, but there have been too many changes recently, and she knows that she may become a burden if she stays here, but she doesn't dare to leave, she is afraid that as soon as she leaves, many things will be different...... Didn't you say that you have to face everything together?
It's okay to ask her to leave, unless Nangong Yi goes with her.
"Trust me, things can't get any worse."
Nangong Yi's ink-like eyes overflowed with a trace of tenderness, he stared down at Lin Jue, almost imprinting her whole person into his eyes, and finally, he reached out and rubbed her head with some reluctance, and a smile rose on his lips.
His words seemed to have magical power, but in fact, Lin Jue didn't want to agree in his heart, but he still nodded his head almost as a ghost. At this moment, there was a sudden "boom", and a huge force burst out from the back of the main hall, and the impact direction of the heat wave pointed directly at the place where Lin Jue and Nangong Yi were standing.
"Be careful!"
Before Lin Jue could react, his body was pushed away by someone heavily! The impact of the explosion hit, and Nangong Yi pushed Lin Jue away as fast as he could, "Take care of her!" In the billowing smoke, Nangong Yi explained to Liu Man and Qinghe, and there was another loud bang, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and the back half of the hall was razed to the ground in an instant! ββ
Nangong Yi's figure disappeared into the billowing smoke and ashes.
"Nangong Yi ββ!!!"
Lin Jue was hoarse, Qinghe hugged her tightly, and dragged her out of Changchun Palace.
But when she walked to the gate of Changchun Palace, another heat wave hit, directly washing her and Qinghe away, Lin Jue rolled on the ground a few times, hit her head on the stone pillar, and the severe pain hit, and she fainted.
A few explosions not only caused serious losses to the six princes' men and horses, but also solved the four princes' own people by the way.
Empress Yang stood on top of the city tower, she quietly looked at Lin Jue, who had fainted against the corner of the wall, and a smile was hooked on her lips. She reached out and took an arrow, stretched out her bow, and aimed the sharp triangular arrow in Lin Jue's direction-
This woman, staying in the world, is a scourge after all, as long as this woman is dead, her son will no longer have a shackle in this world, Emperor Zhaoyang's experience is a lesson, she doesn't want her son to repeat the mistakes of the past. If you have no desire, you will be strong, and only if you are not bound by emotions can you go further and see farther. The women in the harem are just tools to vent and pass on the incense, she can't let Ling Mo have feelings for these people, she definitely can't......
As soon as Nangong Yi solved the dead soldiers in the main hall and was about to go to Lin Jue to join him, he saw such a scene.
- Lin Jue and Qinghe were unconscious, while Empress Yang stood on the city tower and aimed the arrow of the sharp arrow at Lin Jue.
Empress Yang also saw Nangong Yi, she smiled a little proudly, but her face changed suddenly in the next moment, and a flying knife was inserted into her chest!
"The Queen Mother! βββ
Ling Mo, who came later, pounced and shouted hoarsely.
Empress Yang's face was pale, she was stabbed in the chest, and she fell into Ling Mo's arms in a gossamer.
was good at calculating all his life, but in the end, he killed Qingqing.
Presumably she never thought that she would have a brilliant life, but in the end she was killed by a dagger.
Empress Yang is unwilling, she still has too much attachment, she has not yet sat on the position of the empress dowager, she has not seen her son become the Ninth Five-Year Honor, she has not taken a good look at the country of this great cause...... Too much affection and unwillingness, tears crossed the corners of Queen Yang's eyes, she really didn't want to leave like this......
However, it seemed that her consciousness had become more and more dissipated, and the scene in front of her had begun to become blurred, she desperately tried to see Ling Mo's face clearly, obviously close at hand, but it became more and more blurred, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. On the contrary, it is the past and the past, and the scenes pass by in front of me, becoming clearer and clearer.
She saw that she started from a show girl who was unpopular in the Huanyi Bureau, step by step, and finally sat firmly in the middle palace. She saw Ling Mo babbling, she saw Emperor Zhaoyang looking at his son with a loving face, she saw the former crown prince, and she saw Empress Renxing......
"Sister, you know what? For more than ten years, I have been waiting for you to ......", Queen Renxing was dressed in a plain white dress, looking at her with a gentle smile on her face, "Sister, you made me wait so hard......"
"Why are you waiting for me? I have nothing to do with you! β
Empress Yang's face was full of panic.
"Is it really okay? How could my sister forget that the fire burned for a long time......
ββ¦β¦ Sister, sister, it was my fault back then, I changed, I really repented, in the past 20 years, I have eaten fasting and recited Buddha, just to make up for the mistakes of the year, sister, I was wrong...... You just bypass me, and I will definitely continue to worship your ......"
Ling Mo looked blankly at Empress Yang, who was lying in his arms and was talking nonsense with a frightened face, with a complicated expression on her face. More than 20 years ago, she teamed up with King Qin and Wulinghou to design the seemingly seamless fire, Empress Renxing was killed in the fire, and the former prince was nowhere to be found.
He had always thought that his mother was hard-hearted and that nothing could hurt her, but now it seems that this is not the case. That fire has always been a thorn in her heart, and even if she dies, she can't let go......
Qinghe woke up, but her right leg was injured, and when she saw Lin Jue who was still unconscious not far away, she quickly crawled over and protected her with her body.
"You take her out of here first."
Nangong Yi said quickly.
Ling Mo's men were coming, and he needed to stay here to attract his attention, as long as he was still there, the others would be relatively safe.
The palace can't be lost, even if Ling Mo has now controlled the entire palace, as long as he is there, as long as there are still people to fight, the other party can't be regarded as a success in forcing the palace.
At this time, Ling Mo on the city tower was full of sadness, he saw Empress Yang close her eyes in his arms, Empress Yang's death made Ling Mo's whole person go crazy, "Gather the archers, transfer those who are guarding the city gate, I want Nangong Yi's head!" βββ
After several years of planning and preparation by Empress Yang, now the guards of the entire palace are his own people, in addition to the guards of the palace, the troops on the periphery are also under his orders. Although Nangong Yi's martial arts are unfathomable, it seems to be a little difficult to compete with the strength of the entire Yuejing City, and he still has to take care of Lin Jue, which will distract him to some extent, in this case, with all his strength, Ling Mo will not believe that he can't kill him!
A steady stream of soldiers poured out of the palace gates, and the archers were already ready to go, just waiting for Ling Mo, who was standing on the city tower, to give an order.
Nangong Yi glanced at Qinghe, who was seriously injured in his right leg and couldn't even stand up, "It's too late." He said a word, and then bent down and hugged Lin Jue, who was lying on the ground. One turned around and threw her on her back.
"Master, you take the girl to go first, and I'll take care of the aftermath."
Qinghe wanted to stand up with some difficulty, but he collapsed on the ground in an instant, it seemed that his right leg was injured in the bone marrow, and it was impossible to move around for a while.
"You take care of yourself."
As he spoke, Nangong Yi waved the long sword in his hand and knocked the sharp arrow to the ground.
Lin Jue was lying on his back, in a daze, she seemed to hear the arrows whistling in her ears, and suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, she opened her eyes suddenly, and then there was a pool of blood red in front of her, if it didn't feel wrong, the arrow that shot over seemed to have pierced her chest.
Blood spread down the arrow, wetting Nangong Yi's back.
"Nangong Yi ......?"
After realizing the surrounding situation, Lin Jue was a little anxious to get off his back, "Nangong Yi, I'm seriously injured, you can't save it." Hurry up, it's too late......"
It's not that she doesn't want to go, but it's almost impossible for Nangong Yi to take a woman who only has half a life left to go out of the bow and arrow array. Moreover, she was hit by a sharp arrow in the chest, and it was a triangular arrow, even if she tried her best to get out, she might not be able to survive.
Nangong Yi really didn't need to take her life.
"Don't speak."
There were still bows and arrows in the sky behind him, but the wind in his ears was getting stronger and stronger.
No matter what Lin Jue said, Nangong Yi was indifferent.
At the moment when he left the gate of Changchun Palace, he suddenly whistled, and then a black horse seemed to fall from the sky, rushing towards the two of them.
When he threw Lin Jue onto the horse, the wind was fierce, and a sharp arrow pierced Nangong Yi's shoulder.
Not far away, there was another loud noise, and the main hall of the entire Changchun Palace collapsed in an instant.
The tall black horse galloped towards Wuxuanmen, Lin Jue lay on the horse's back, blood dripped down the horse's back, dripping on the saddle, I couldn't tell whether it was her own or the blood on Qinglang's body, bright and dripping, and even with warm blood, like a blooming red peony, smeared in front of Lin Jue's eyes.
The explosion in Changchun Palace did not have an impact on Ling Mo.
More and more soldiers rushed towards them, and the arrows from the string flew in their direction like a raging storm, and were instantly knocked to the ground by Nangong Yi.
When I arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, the surrounding area was already black, the city gate, stone steps and the empty palace compound were all covered with archers, and all the arrows were aimed at Nangong Yi, ready to go, just waiting for an order from above.
Nangong Yi was trapped in the middle, and the black horse under him raised his front hooves in fright and neighed.
"If you leave, don't come to Kyoto again."
A hint of wind passed through his cheeks, blowing the messy shredded hair on his forehead. The arrow on his left shoulder had been pulled out by him, but the wound was bleeding uncontrollably, and the blood spread down his arm, through his fingertips, and dripped onto the white marble floor.
A faint voice came, and Lin Jue thought that he was hallucinating.
"You're not leaving?"
Lin Jue asked rhetorically.
For the first time in her life, she didn't ask Nangong Yi why she said such a thing.
"I can't go."
Nangong Yi's voice was ethereal, as if it came from a distant sky.
"For Emperor Zhaoyang?"
He is his father, staying here and guarding the country for him can be regarded as a kind of filial piety.
But in the current situation, there is no point in discussing whether they can get out again, they are surrounded by hundreds of archers, and if they move, they will be shot into hedgehogs.
It's just that even if he knew that the probability of escaping was very low, Lin Jue felt uncomfortable for no reason when he thought that Nangong Yi finally chose Jiangshan and gave her up.
Somewhere, the black horse was frightened again and raised its front hooves.
As soon as the leading soldier gave an order, sharp arrows were shot at the two of them from all directions.
Nangong Yi didn't answer Lin Jue's question again, but as if it had been designed, taking advantage of the horse's fright, she turned around and stuffed a pill into her mouth, turned over and dismounted at the same time, and threw something out of the way, with a loud noise, causing the soldiers gathered at the city gate to scatter in all directions. The originally frightened dark horse was once again subjected to external forces and began to rush towards Xuanwu Gate desperately.
When the white smoke cleared, the surroundings were quiet again, except for the sound of bows and arrows firing.
Nangong Yi stood in place, holding the black gold long sword in his hand.
That thing just now was the last hidden weapon on his body. It's a pity that the power of that thing is limited, and at most it can only stun people, but it can't kill them. So he sent Lin Jue out, and he chose to stay where he was to cover for her.
The wounds on his body continued to seep blood, and after continuous fighting, his physical strength was on the verge of limit, relying on the power of the long sword, he barely maintained a standing posture. But the black and oppressive figure in front of him became more and more blurred.
"Shoot the arrowsβ"
The sharp arrow with a triangular arrow came straight in the direction of Nangong Yi again.
Kyoto has four distinct seasons, unlike the seasons in the south, where it rains non-stop throughout the year and is indistinct. The sun is shining, and a light snow has just passed in Kyoto, which is the most suitable for meeting three or two friends, chatting a little, and cooking tea and snow in the garden.
The years are quiet, and the present world is stable.
No one noticed when there were so many camps at the gates of the city, and no one noticed that in the majestic and solemn palace, it was bloody at this time, like a Shura hell.
In order to purge the forces left behind by Emperor Zhaoyang, Ling Mo took this opportunity to carry out a major purge of the entire imperial city. Adhering to the principle of "it is better to kill by mistake than to let go", not to mention the concubines and palace maids who served in the bed, and even many palace maids and eunuchs who only had a relationship with the emperor were all pulled to the Thorn Jinmen and killed.
It's just that no matter how he looks for it, he just can't find Emperor Zhaoyang himself.
This made Ling Mo a little flustered, but this panic was only fleeting. Now this palace is full of his people, even if the emperor has the ability to fly, it is difficult to fly, not to mention, now his most powerful helper Nangong Yi is besieged in the palace city, he is just an elderly lonely person, even if he is alive, what is there to be afraid of?
Ling Yu stood on the city tower, condescendingly looking at Nangong Yi, who was still confronting the soldiers.
He was on the verge of his limit, but the guards still couldn't get close.
"Give me a bow and arrows......"
Ling Mo said to his subordinates.
He once saw a picture in the field. A mule with several bundles of straw on its back. But its owner was still not satisfied, and continued to add more and more straw to its back, but the mule could still stand. But after a few steps, its owner saw a handful of straw on the ground that had been dropped by others, picked it up, and put it on the back of the mule.
In an instant, the mule collapsed to the ground.
And Sunny is now like a mule with straw on its back, which is on the verge of its limit. The reason why it has not fallen yet is because there is still a small number of introductions missing.
Ling Mo decided to let the arrow in his hand be used as the trigger.
The bright sun turned into a sunset on the horizon, and the shadows were abundant, dyeing the surrounding clouds red.
In the imperial city after the first snowfall, the sky is blue and spotless.
Nangong Yi held the black gold ancient sword in his hand, resisting the soldiers who kept swarming towards him. The blood stains on the clothes from the previous moment had not yet dried, and they were immediately replaced by new ones, sticky and thick, as if they were wearing a bright red armor.
Ling Mo, who was on the city tower, aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the back of the man who was still standing tenaciously.
"Be carefulββ!!
A cry was like thunder that broke the sky, startling a few sparrows that had stopped on the city wall.
The galloping black horse came from the palace gate in the distance, and the figure on horseback was slender and strong.
Lin Jue rode on horseback and galloped in the direction of Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi's movements in his hands paused.
Didn't he let her go, this stupid woman?
How did you come back again?
The off-string arrow was flying over the palace wall at this moment, approaching Nangong Yi.
Ling Mo began to frown.
Lin Jue saw the sharp arrow.
The sudden horse broke up the soldiers besieging Nangong Yi, Lin Jue didn't know martial arts, but he didn't know where the courage came from, he jumped up directly from the horse, and after rolling on the ground a few times, he just arrived at Nangong Yi's side, she didn't wait for Nangong Yi to react, she pounced directly and hugged him.
Ling Mo's face was bloodless, he looked at the bow in his hand in a daze, and yelled at everyone, "Stop!" Stop it all! βββ
ββAn arrow that fell from the sky pierced Lin Jue's back heavily.
Then she felt something strange in her chest, and when she looked down, the arrow went straight from her back to her chest, piercing her body.
After confirming that Nangong Yi was not injured, Lin Jue breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He's fine.
It's just that she was hit by two arrows in her body, and this time, she should have no chance to live.
"Jue ......"
Nangong Yi's eyes widened, and in an instant, the expression on his face was unpredictable, shocked, painful, depressed, and crazy, and finally, he returned to a gentle appearance, and looked down at Lin Jue quietly.
"How? I'm amazing, right? β
Lin Jue smiled vigorously.
"Ah Jue, why are you bothering?"
She's out of danger.
"Nangong Yi, are you a fool? ......", Lin Jue tried his best to make his expression look less hideous, "You are in danger, how can I live alone?" (To be continued.) )
