Chapter 490: Ambush on All Sides
"Rain, don't talk anymore, I'...... You're going to be okay. Trust me......"
Wang Huaiqing's face was full of determination.
"Huaiqing, is it okay?"
Tian Yuyan turned his head to look at him, with mist in his eyes.
Wang Huaiqing knelt beside her and gently took her in his arms with his hand.
"I ...... Do you hate me? ”
Leaning his head on Wang Huaiqing's arms, Tian Yuyan finally felt a little relieved. Once relieved, she felt a little tired, and she half-closed her eyes and asked softly. Just like on a summer afternoon many years ago, she half-squinted and chatted with Wang Huaiqing sitting beside her.
"Fool, don't talk nonsense, how can I hate you?"
Wang Huaiqing laughed, revealing a good-looking pear vortex.
"Xiaoyu, you hurry up and go to the nearest pharmacy and buy some hemostatic scattering back, the sooner the better......"
"I really don't need to......"
Tian Yuyan's tone became more and more difficult, and the hands that were covering his neck gradually loosened. The blood between his fingers dripped on Wang Huaiqing's big red brocade robe, mixed together, and it looked extremely bright.
"You...... Today...... Where's the big wedding? ”
The more the person in his arms spoke, the quieter he became.
"Hmmm......"
Wang Huaiqing replied, and tears began to slide down the corners of his eyes.
"Her name is Ye Xiaoyu, and I haven't married ...... yet"
"That's good. …… Able to start again ......"
The corners of Tian Yuyan's mouth rose, with a little reluctance.
Outside the house, the spring thunder roared, and it was a sunny day just now, but suddenly it rained heavily. Raindrops carry strong winds. Hit a few plantains in the yard. The carved windows didn't close, and the raindrops flew into the house, wetting the floor and merging with the blood on it, like cinnabar that had been knocked over by the wrong hand.

"Zhou Ming ......"
Zou Youheng lay on the ground, looking at the temperature in his palms that was gradually cooling, and muttered to himself.
He must be dreaming, and it's a nightmare.
How can a living person suddenly say that it is gone?
Zhou Ming is still so young, and he hasn't even gotten married yet. A lifetime is that long. They have already made an appointment to go to many places, do a lot of things, and visit all the fireworks places in the Great Cause Country.
But he was gone.
And never again.
"Why did you kill him?!!"
Zou Youheng raised his head fiercely. Standing above with hatred. At this time, Ling Yu, who was concentrating on observing the battle situation.
Voices are heard. Ling Yu turned his head.
When he found that the sound came from the mouth of the dying Zou Youheng, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Because he's going to kill me."
Ling Yu was condescending and said lightly.
"Just by his three-legged cat. I can't kill you ......! You can't ...... This is a living human ......!! ”
Zou Youheng was hoarse.
Anyway, according to the current situation, he couldn't get out alive with only half a life left, so he simply died with Zhou Ming.
"If I don't kill him, he will kill me, and the soldiers will not tire of deceit, which is very fair."
Ling Yu's tone was steady, as if he was too calm.
"You-"
Zou Youheng was speechless with grief and indignation.
He dragged his body to the ground like this, not to mention avenging Zhou Ming, even if he was taken out of the palace, it was almost impossible. And his enemy turned out to be the prince above 10,000 people, and he may even be the future emperor of Daye Kingdom. Not to mention that he can't get out alive, even if he does, what ability does he have to avenge Zhou Ming?
Filled with despair, he lowered his head with a dull gaze.
Seeing him like this, Ling Yu didn't speak anymore, and continued to stand on the high place of the side hall, looking at the gunpowder smoke not far away.
The situation is not too rosy.
The sunny sky is too strong. Whether it was Ah Si or his escorts, they still couldn't get close to him, let alone injure him, after a stalemate for so long.
Looking at the continuous screams in the main hall, Ling Yu frowned, what kind of person is this? You can abandon human nature and emotions, like a sharp sword that can only kill.
"Ah Si, be careful-"
Before Ling Yu's words were finished, Ah Si, who was fighting with Qing Lang over there, was stabbed in the back, and the blade of the sword turned, blood flowed, and Ah Si's whole person slowly slid down the stone pillar.
If this continues, all these people will die at the hands of Qinglang. They are all already victorious, how can the established situation be reversed because of him alone? Ling Yu's gaze instantly became fierce, he would definitely not let such a thing happen.
"Archer—"
Having made up his mind, Ling Yu shouted towards the outside of the hall.
There were no guards around him, it was empty, but because of this, he was able to see more clearly.
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of soldiers rushed in in an instant, holding shields and bows and arrows in their hands, and the long-term training made these people ready to shoot in the blink of an eye.
On the three floors inside and outside, hundreds of people poured in, making the huge side hall a little crowded. Sunny stood in the middle, expressionlessly repelling a wave of soldiers who rushed forward, as if completely unaware of the fact that he was surrounded.
"You're surrounded, run—"
Zou Youheng couldn't stand it and shouted loudly.
Anyway, he was full of despair now, and he was ready to die here, thinking of Qinglang's life-saving grace in the cave, he felt that he should at least do a good deed before he died.
Hearing the voice, Qing Lang turned his head unexpectedly.
The cold gaze projected over, which inexplicably made Zou Youheng shudder.
"You're really worried about ......"
Ling Yu's voice sounded above his head, and at some point, this person had already walked down the steps and stood beside Zou Youheng.
"Hmph, you killed me!?"
Zou Youheng raised his head, his eyes burning with anger.
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
The corners of Ling Yu's mouth rose slightly.
"I know you dare, what don't you dare. And since I have offended you, I will definitely not survive. The reason why you didn't kill me now is because you don't care about me?!! ”
Zou Youheng looked down at Zhou Ming lying beside him. Said coldly.
He couldn't move his whole body now, in this hall, it would be a dead end anyway, why should Ling Yu dirty his hands.
"I can't imagine that you have a lot of backbone. If that is the case, should I fulfill you? ”
Looking at Zou Youheng, whose face was covered with blood, Ling Yu suddenly became interested.
But before the excitement lasted for a moment, his attention was drawn to the situation not far away.
The archers had already begun to release their arrows, and Sunny was besieged in the middle, the ancient sword wielded in his hand constantly shooting down the arrows that were shooting at him, but unfortunately it was too dense. He can constantly knock down and dodge. But he couldn't break through such an arrow array.
Suddenly, he rose into the air and threw a large handful of hidden weapons out of his sleeve, and some of the archers fell in response. Ling Yu was a little flustered, but also a little delighted. Sunny like this. It is estimated that he wants to break out of the encirclement and leave. If he wants to leave alone, with his martial arts, as long as he is willing to leave. No longer interfere in Ling Xi's affairs, Ling Yu will not stop him.
The hidden weapon helped him a lot, and Qing Lang took the opportunity to jump onto the beam of the house, Ling Yu thought that he would leave because of this, but after only a moment of silence, this person fell again.
This time, he fell into the place between Ling Yu and Zou Youheng.
"Archer, release the arrow—"
The sudden movement made Ling Yu panic.
With no guards by his side, it seemed easy for Sunny to take his life.
"Let's go."
But Qinglang didn't move Ling Yu, but bent down and pulled Zou Youheng, who was lying on the ground, up, turned around, and threw him on his back.
"I can't move, you can't save it. Hurry up, it's too late......"
Zou Youheng said eagerly.
It's not that he doesn't want to go, but it's almost impossible for Sunny to take a man with only half a life left to get out of that bow and arrow array.
Moreover, Zhou Ming is still here, and he can't just leave him behind.
Qing Lang didn't speak, brandished the ancient sword in his hand, and knocked the arrow to the ground.
Zou Youheng was lying on his back, and there were arrows whistling in his ears, and he suddenly felt a tremor under his body, and then there was a pool of blood-red in front of him, and the arrows that shot over pierced Qinglang's chest.
"We don't know each other in our lives, I really appreciate that you can save me, but now if you carry me again, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to get out alive......"
Zou Youheng said quickly.
“…… I can't move, it's useless to go out, you put me down and go by yourself......"
He was grateful, but in this situation, the two of them were tied together, and they would only affect each other. Anyway, he is already determined to die here, so he doesn't bother others anymore.
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 Zou Youheng said, Qing Lang was indifferent.
At the moment of leaving the gate of the side hall, he suddenly whistled, and then a black horse seemed to fall from the sky, rushing towards the two of them.
When he threw Zou Youheng onto the horse, Qinglang's shoulder was hit by another arrow.

"Your Highness, how's it going?"
In the side hall, Jia Wei walked out from the rear and stood beside Ling Yu.
Ling Yu stared at Qinglang's actions the whole time, and saw that he did not hurt himself, but only rescued Zou Youheng who was lying on the ground, and doubts kept rising in his heart.
A person, a horse, and a seriously wounded person, even if he rushed out of the side hall, he couldn't get out of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the palace.
"That object, for sure, has been taken."
Seeing that Ling Yu didn't speak, Jia Wei continued.
"What?!"
Ling Yu turned his head.
"I just saw the letter left by the former emperor in the hands of Empress Tao Wan, which recorded that only when the object is taken away can the mechanism of the stone gate be activated."
Jia Wei said thoughtfully.
"But, all the people who came out of it just now were searched, and even Zou Youheng, who came out first and was the most seriously injured, didn't have anything on his body, could it be that the object was hidden in the cave?"
Ling Yu didn't believe it.
"Your Highness, you have left out an important person."
The corners of Jia Wei's mouth curled.
"Sunny?"
Ling Yu's heart twitched.
Since Ling Xi was able to let Zhou Ming mix in the scholars to assassinate him, why couldn't he let Qing Lang also mix in that group of scholars and enter the cave? Although the cave was extremely dangerous, Sunny was almost omnipotent, and it was not impossible for him to succeed in taking the object inside. (To be continued......)
