Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Choice of Life and Death

When I opened my eyes, the sky was a clear blue, the morning sun was slightly dewed, the night had not completely faded, and the dew-soaked straw mats on the ground smelled damp and musty.

I stood up and found myself locked in a hollow, the remaining side of which was sealed by a wooden fence, and I walked over and shook it, only to find that I had no strength in my hands, and the wooden fence did not move at all.

My hands were wrapped in rope and my wrists were strangled with blood. I was frightened and frightened in my heart, and shouted loudly: "Chu Anguo, why are you locking me up, hurry up and let me go!" ”

It was a bad feeling to be confined to a cramped place, and there was a faint sound of rats in the cave, and my voice trembled slightly.

"Shut up!" Several Yuexi guards walked over, and one of them yelled at me.

A young man in brocade clothes walked up, dressed in white, followed by several other guards, and followed him with respectful hands.

"Chu Anguo, what do you want?" I simply sat on the grass across the wooden fence and asked coldly.

"I don't like it when you talk to me like that." Chu Anguo looked at me condescendingly with a smile on his face.

"You arrest me and let me be disposed of, as long as you let Brother Guang go!" I said with difficulty, what I was most afraid of was that he would hurt Huo Guang. He must have a plan to go to such great lengths, not just trying to lock me up.

When Chu Anguo heard this, his face turned slightly pale, and then he sneered: "Mulan, you don't care about your own life and death, and you still think about that child. ”

I felt a pang of disgust in my heart, despicable villain, who was talking about people like him.

"I've already said that I want to make a bet with you."

"Bet on what?"

Chu Anguo raised his lips and smiled, and said, "When I kidnapped you back yesterday, I already released that child and asked him to bring the news to Huo Quai. You are locked up in the north of the city, and Li Ziwei is locked up in the south of the city. Who's he going to save, you say? ”

I was stunned, something sank in my heart, and at the same time, I didn't know why he was doing this.

"If Huo Qu's illness didn't come before, the stone prison you are in will catch fire." Chu Anguo seemed to like to see my expression now, and said with a smile: "You have been hit by my secret medicine, and you can't use your strength." I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will die. ”

"How do you know he won't come?" I said hard-mouthed.

"Because of the water prison where Li Ziwei is located, he will be flooded after the child. Whom will he save, say to yourself? Chu Anguo's voice was lazy, but it sounded particularly harsh to me at this time.

"Why are you doing this?" I don't know why he wants to arrest Li Ziwei, at least Li Ziwei has no use value for him.

"Because I hate you for running away from me." Chu Anguo replied without thinking, "I hate you even more when you follow Huo to get sick." So I want you to see clearly, and with unwillingness and pain, what are you in Huo Quai's heart. There was no vicious expression on his handsome face, but his calm expression was even more chilling.

I looked at him in a daze, speechless for a moment.

"Anyway, the two women related to Huo Qu's illness are in my hands, and he will definitely make a choice tonight." Chu Anguo's eyes blinked, and he chuckled and mocked: "Who do you say he will save?" Hehe, Mulan, if you want to be a beauty in the city, I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

As he spoke, Chu Anguo stood up, glanced at me who was stunned, and floated away.

It was the longest and hardest day of my life. Is that what it feels like to die? But I am full of hope that Huo Qu will come to save me when he is sick.

In vain, I thought about the bits and pieces of my illness with Huo Quai.

In the snow he danced his sword;

On the battlefield of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, I live and die together;

Under the kapok tree, flying all over the sky, a field of red flowers, he kissed me.

He had hugged me gently, and the smell of his orchid in my nose seemed to be as clear as yesterday.

These are memories that I will remember for a lifetime.

What kind of being am I to him? Why do you sometimes feel that there is a wall between us that I can't overcome?

Time passed little by little, and I sat in the corner with my knees crossed, and all the memories since I came to the Western Han Dynasty were replayed in my mind.

I also remembered Chu Jinmo's eyes as deep and forbearant as an ancient well, and we turned from enemies to friends. In order to prevent me from marrying Chu Anguo, he let me go. In order to protect me, stay alone in the desert to defend me against the wolves.

I suddenly realized that the wall in my heart, in addition to the fact that I clearly knew that Lu Daohuo had never married in his life, there was also the existence of Chu Jinmo.

When I dream back at midnight, I often think of Chu Jinmo's sad face.

It's just that I only have Huo Qu's illness in my heart, and I willingly draw the ground for him as a prison. I don't believe that he will ignore me and abandon me to save Li Ziwei. We've been through so much!

I'm sure in my heart that he's coming, he's coming!

When the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly, as if after a while, the deep blue sky is full of crystal stars. The half-crescent moon glows brightly, illuminating the entire sky.

Time seemed to stand still, until a spark flashed in the corner of the stone prison. The orange flames burned like a tide, and the flames rose to the sky, and thick smoke billowed to the sky.

I retreated to the wooden fence, a bitter despair rolling in my heart.

Billowing black smoke rose into the air, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

Am I going to die like this? Huo Quai, he didn't come to save me, but chose Li Ziwei? How can it be? How can it be!

I don't believe it, never. I haven't had time to ask what I am to him.

Li Ziwei repeatedly hinted to me that her identity was worthy of Huo Quzhi, she deliberately approached me, but Huo Quzhi ignored it. Huo Qu was sick under the lamp last night, what do you want to say to me?

It turns out that all this time, I have been deceiving myself.

I clutched the corners of my clothes, endured a day of weakness, and finally wept bitterly. At this moment, there was a faint sound of fighting outside the stone prison. The light of the torches came through the wooden fence, and it seemed that many people had come.

The fire spread, I was choked unconscious by the smoke, I vaguely heard the sound of the lock being opened, and the wooden door was pushed open with a hoarse sound.

I was shocked in my heart, and suddenly it was like a spring flower, and the surprise was indescribable, as if the heart that had been hanging for a lifetime was finally let go, and the tears opened my eyes suddenly, but my eyes were frozen in the air.

It was a strange face, and when he saw my stunned gaze, he hurriedly said, "The hussar general sent me." ”

It turned out that it wasn't him.

My heart twitched hard, disappointed and painful, and a sour touch of despair crept silently.

"Ahh As he screamed, my shoulder hurt, and a long sword pierced his chest from behind, and also pierced mine.

The man fell to the ground, and I rolled to the ground with all my weakness, the wound on my shoulder was gurgling and bleeding, but I didn't feel any pain.

Outside, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the sword of the Yuexi guard swung towards me like the wind. I closed my eyes and didn't dodge, because I knew I couldn't dodge.

There was no expected pain, but there was a sound of metal clashing in the sky.

I raised my head and met a pair of unfazed eyes like an ancient well, Chu Jinmo looked back at me and said, "Mulan, do you want to die?" ”

"Chu Jinmo!" I was weak and angry, but my tone was full of surprise, he was not dead!

Chu Jinmo was slightly stunned and looked at me helplessly. With a wave of the sword in his hand, he lightly slashed at the second sword of the Yuexi guard, raised his eyebrows, and said to the Yuexi guard: "What, even I don't know me anymore?" ”

"Prince Jinmo is angry, even if he borrows ten guts from the villain, the villain will not dare to make a mistake in front of Prince Jinmo." The Yuexi guards hurriedly knelt on the ground, "It's just that Prince An ordered him to come down, if this slut escapes, he will be killed." ”

"Stand down. I'll tell him. Chu Jinmo said impatiently, and hugged me horizontally.

His dark eyes looked at me, and his expression was a little elusive. He whispered, "You've suffered. ”

There was a gorgeous and faint fragrance in Chu Jinmo's arms, and I leaned softly in his arms, only to feel exhausted, and I no longer had the strength to speak. I closed my eyes, and the tears in my eyes slowly remained, cold on my cheeks, and I gradually lost consciousness.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Hussar General laughed and passed on the twenty-eighth chapter: "Please talk about whether Huo Qubing cheated death and committed treason?" ”

Zhao Ponu waved his hand impatiently, "Lie to your sister, I think I'm fighting the landlord!" ”

"So why do you say that?"

Zhao Ponu said: "Lao Tzu is from the hushou, what does Shenma mean?" It's the hussar general's horse boy, and I still don't know anything about him?! ”
