Chapter 243: Repaying the Favor
The Guran military tent.
Covered in wounds and tied to the cross, Yinchong raised his eyes tiredly and looked at the soldering iron that was burning bright red in the brazier not far away.
The Gulan soldier in front of him was so angry that he threw down his whip and said viciously in Chinese: "You waste! Lao Tzu doesn't have so much time to spend with you, so I'll tell you where the 60,000 troops of the Western Dynasty have gone? Why are there only so many people out of town! Say it! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you! β
Yin Chong glanced at the soldier, his bloodless mouth trembled slightly, and a mocking smile gradually appeared on his face covered with wounds: "You just give up!" I won't tell you! You dogs are waiting to be run over by the army of my Western Dynasty! β
"Look for death!" The soldier's eyes showed a fierce light, and he picked up the bright red soldering iron burned in the charcoal brazier and was about to burn it on Yinchong's body.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the tent door: "Wait! β
A burly figure came from the tent door.
The soldier looked over, changed his expression, and immediately put his right hand on his left shoulder and leaned over slightly, made a shoulder salute, and said respectfully: "Lord Even!" β
Ewen came to the soldier, nodded, looked at Yinchong, spread his hand and said, "Give me something." β
The soldier was slightly stunned, then reacted immediately, and hurriedly handed the handle of the bright red soldering iron into the hands of Even.
Ewen took it, glanced at the people in the tent lightly, the cold frost condensed between his eyebrows, and ordered: "All go out!" β
The people in the tent obeyed the order, gave a shoulder salute, and withdrew.
After no one was around, Ewen set his eyes on Yin Chong, and he didn't laugh: "The deputy general of the Western Dynasty Army, you have suffered for so many days!" β
Yinchong didn't take this blonde-haired Qur'an in his eyes, spat sharply, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: "Hypocrisy! β
Ewen smiled slightly, wiped the spit on his face, didn't care about his bad attitude, and laughed again: "Don't be so angry!" You are just sent by the Western Dynasty to aid Heishui, this war has nothing to do with you, and now you are out of the city for the Heishui people, the generals are dead, and the soldiers are even more dead and running, to put it bluntly, you are just an abandoned son who neither the Western Dynasty nor Heishui wants! No one will contain you but us, the Qur'an, and I believe that one day you will become our partner. β
"Fart! The hatred of killing my comrades is not shared, even if it is death, it will never be with the Guran barbarians! Yin Chong scolded angrily, clenched his fists, if it weren't for the hands and feet being bound, he really wanted to give this Hu man a few punches.
Ewen's smiling face was light and light, but there was a thick mockery in his eyes: "The deputy general is really brave and loyal, but I still have to persuade you to see the situation in front of you, your sincerity is really stupid to use here, after all, no one can see it except us!" β
Silver snorted coldly.
Ewen raised his chin slightly and said, "It's better to be like this, you tell me where the other Western Dynasty troops are hiding?" Whether they go out of town with you, as long as you say it, I can consider letting you go. β
After saying that, after waiting for a long time, Yinchong still didn't speak, just sneered.
Ewen gradually lost his patience, the smile on his face froze, and he slowly pulled out the saber hanging from his waist: "Do you really want to be stubborn to the end?" β
There was a threat in these words, and the cold light refracted by the knife surface shook so that Yinchong inevitably closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, staring at the tip of the knife aimed at him, Yinchong suddenly remembered the night when the sky was full of sparks, and he watched Helian Che, who was soaked in blood, fall to the ground lifeless with his eyes closed, as if the sky had fallen.
I only felt that my heart was tight, and my face was still pretending to be calm: "If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect!" β
"It's really a hard bone, then it depends on how long you can be tough!" Ewen sneered, and the knife in his hand rose high and fell suddenly.
Blood splattered ......
Heart-rending screams rang from the tent.
Ewen put away the knife, and looked at Yinchong, who had already lost an arm, was pale from extreme pain at the moment, and a cold sweat the size of a bean soon broke out on his forehead.
"Are you sure you want to continue to resist?" Even-Win looked at the scorching red soldering iron on his other hand.
Silverfill was too deep in pain to speak.
Even, as long as he did not change his life, held the soldering iron and burned it off the wound of the broken arm of the silver charge.
The pain caused by this vicious practice can be imagined to be heartbreaking.
"Wait, I'...... I say! Yinchong stared at the soldering iron that was approaching him with wide eyes, and yelled in fear.
Seeing that he had finally given in, Evenn smiled triumphantly.
After retracting the soldering iron, he heard Yin panting, and his voice trembled: "It's all in Heilan City, and the army is scattered all over Heilan City by the general!" β
I see.
Even, the head of the same army couldn't help but admire - this Helian Che was shrewd, if he hadn't died under that fire bullet, he would probably have been their most difficult opponent, but fortunately, he was in a hurry that day, and he got rid of a hidden danger.
"Even-sama!" At this time, someone outside the tent shouted.
Running in, he gave a shoulder salute to Even, and said, "It's a big deal!" General Ahmed suddenly gave the order to attack the city of Heilan! β
"What did you say?" Even, who was shocked, forced his composure after a moment and asked, "What happened?" β
The person hurriedly said: "It was the second prince of Heishui who sent a message that the situation in Heilan City was about to change, and the position of the king of Heishui Khan was about to fall to the third prince of Heishui. β
"What?!" Even's eyebrows were raised, his eyes full of shock.
As if thinking about something, he looked at Yinchong, whose eyes were extremely painful, and ordered: "Give him a good look at him!" Don't let him run! β
The person who came responded: "Yes! β
Looking up again, Evenin was already out of the tent.
At this time, hidden in the loess cave in the sandy plain, the sleeping man gradually frowned, muttering something.
The woman leaned over curiously to listen, and it was still the same nameβgreen kite.
Who is this name?
The woman just thought it was strange, but she didn't know that he was suffering in a dream at the moment.
In his dream, he returned to the night of their wedding, and he saw her standing in front of the door of Tianxin Ju in a bright red wedding dress, looking at him gently, smiling slightly, and her beauty was unparalleled.
With happiness in his eyes, he walked towards her, opening his arms to hug her.
But just as the distance between the two was getting shorter and shorter, suddenly the picture changed, and she disappeared, replaced by the scene of her mother's tragic death.
He stood in front of the bed with the big red wedding tent hanging from it, and watched his mother sit on the floor on the edge of the bed with her head bowed, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, and a pair of golden scissors stuck in her chest.
There was a deathly silence all around, and he couldn't believe his eyes, and even cowardly wanted to run away.
But his body seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and he couldn't move at all.
An eerie laugh began to echo around him, sounding like there were countless children hiding in a place he couldn't see, laughing playfully and playfully.
Immediately afterwards, he saw his dead mother slowly raise her head, her eyes that had lost their pupils gradually moved, staring at him deadly, and asking him over and over again in a sad and resentful voice, "Why don't you avenge me?" Why "......
That scene was a scene he had dreamed of countless times when he was a child.
His face changed drastically, and before he could react, the picture flipped again.
This time, he finally avenged his mother by killing Helian Note.
Overjoyed, he ran wildly with his blood-stained sword, but when he found her, she was standing on the edge of the cliff, facing the cold torrent at the bottom of the cliff, and the manic wind rushed up from the bottom of the cliff, raising her jet-black hair and the blood-colored dress on her body, like a crumbling leaf.
"Green kite!" He was startled and called out to her.
She looked back blankly, but the moment she saw him, the expression in her eyes changed, first full of resentment, then disappointed, despair, and her heart was dead like ashes.
He wanted to go to her, but she screamed.
He watched as she raised her knife and cut off a strand of hair.
She laughed silently, her face was still so beautiful and dazzling, but tears overflowed her eyes, and she said in a voice so calm that it almost broke down: "Helian Che, I only hope that you and I will never have anything to do with each other from now on, and never see each other forever!" β
At this moment, his heart seemed to be torn apart, and the intense pain swallowed every nerve in him.
He wanted to be close to her, desperate to explain to her, begging for her forgiveness.
But she didn't want to hear it anymore, and turned to face the rushing river at the bottom of the cliff, and suddenly, countless flying arrows like locusts crossed the border and went straight to the slender figure on the edge of the cliff.
"Green kite!" He roared hysterically, desperate to pounce on her.
He wanted to protect her, even if it was to use his body to block the arrows for her.
But it was too late, he rushed over like crazy, and the moment those arrows passed through his body, it was as simple as passing through the air, he couldn't stop it, he could only watch the dense arrows brush towards her......
"Green kite!" He shouted in horror and sat up in shock.
At that time, the woman was wiping his sweat for him, and when she saw that he suddenly woke up, she was frightened.
Helian Che opened his eyes wide and gasped, still not waking up from the horror of the nightmare just now.
It wasn't until he gradually regained his composure that he noticed a young woman wearing a bead on her head beside her, looking at him with the bright eyes on her dirty face, her eyes timid.
Slightly stunned, he quickly recalled that he was originally going to save the injured Yinchong, and suddenly a fire bomb hit, fortunately it didn't hit him, but the fire bomb exploded too close to him, he was injured by the shock wave, fell into a short shock and woke up, his breath was dying by a thread, just when he thought his life was nearing the end, he seemed to see this woman.
Helian Che was stunned, looked down at the tattered clothes on his body again, and couldn't help frowning his pretty brows.
"You...... Lived? The woman's eyes widened, as shocked as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and when she spoke for the first time, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like an old bicycle in the sun and rain that suddenly began to turn its rusty wheels again.
Helian Che didn't answer her words, but just lowered his head and sniffed at himself.
His brows couldn't help but lock deeper, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and get a basin of water!" β
When the woman heard this, her brain reacted for a few seconds, and when she thought that this was the first time someone took the initiative to talk to her, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she said "oh" repeatedly.
A gust of wind rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, another gust of wind came back.
"Why are you back again?" Helian Che looked at her.
The woman was a little embarrassed to touch her nose and said, "No...... No water! β
After saying that, the woman suddenly felt that the air seemed to be a little heavy, and his eyes were a little powerful.
I was uneasy, grabbed the corners of my torn clothes, worried about the bad guys who were in danger outside, and was afraid that he would leave angrily, so I finally said hard: "I'll look for it!" β
Then he turned around.
A hint of awkwardness flashed on Helian Che's face, and he said, "No need! β
The woman smiled happily and turned back.
"You saved me?" Helian Che asked.
The woman's chick nodded earnestly as if pecking rice.
Helian Che looked down at the rags on his body again: "You also got it?" β
The woman nodded again.
"What's your name?"
The woman didn't seem to understand his question, tilting her head and looking at him suspiciously.
Helian Che was helpless: "What's your name?" β
"Name?" The doubts on the woman's face deepened, she thought about it carefully, and then shook her head: "I don't know, I don't remember." β
She was too young when she was abandoned, and many of her memories were already very vague.
A look of surprise appeared on Helian Che's face, and he asked, "Where are you from?" β
When asked about this, the woman only said, "In the city!" β
"And you're a Blackwaterman?"
"Blackwater?" The woman was puzzled, she had lived in the cave of this mound since she was a child, and she was rarely far from the vicinity, and she was too young to remember when she left Heilan City, so she didn't understand what he was talking about.
Thinking of his vague memory, his former parents seemed to be herdsmen, and said, "From a place where there are cattle and sheep." β
Cattle and sheep?
Helian Che thought for a moment and said, "That's the black water." β
"Blackwater?"
The woman pouted, thinking seriously.
Helian Che began to observe the woman in front of him, about eighteen or nineteen years old, as thin as wood, dry as a shrunken monkey, but the big eyes were surprisingly bright, uncontaminated with half of the worldly dust, pure like a clear spring, and occasionally there were moments of fear.
This made Helian Che suddenly remember that when she first saw Ye Lingyi, she was also like this.
I couldn't help but feel soft, and a little gentleness welled up in the depths of my eyes: "I wrote down the matter of you saving my life, and when I return to the city to lead the soldiers to kill it, I will definitely repay you for saving your life." β
The woman didn't care about this, and suddenly said excitedly: "You ask me what my name is, I heard that you often call a person named Green Kite in your dreams these days, why don't you call me Green Kite!" β
"No way!" When Helian Che heard the woman's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he sternly refused.
The woman seemed to be frightened by his appearance, and wondered why he was suddenly so terrible, like a frightened little beast, and her eyes shrank back in fear.
Seeing her like this, Helian Che felt that he was a little too much just now, and he shouldn't have been so guilty of being like this to his life-saving benefactor.
So he let out a long sigh and lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, I was not good just now!" You can use any name other than that! β
The woman looked at him, still with a palpitating look, she didn't understand why a person with such gentle eyebrows and eyes could be so terrible, more terrible than the most ferocious wolf she had ever seen in the sandy plains.
At this moment, a series of clear "gurgling" sounds sounded unsuspectingly in the stomach.
Helian Che naturally heard this embarrassing voice and couldn't help but be stunned.
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.
"Are you hungry?"
The woman looked at him with defensiveness in her eyes, and nodded honestly: "I haven't eaten for four days." β
Speaking of this, it seemed that he was afraid that he would hurt her when she was weak, so he hurriedly added: "But it's okay, the longest time I haven't eaten is ten days!" β
Helian Che looked around with a solemn expression, only to find that the cave of this mound of earth had only some bloodstained clothes except for some simple household utensils, and there was a worn-out bow in the corner, which she had picked up from the ruins after the war, and other than that, there was not even anything that had anything to do with food.
Helian Che frowned, and could only barely support his body to stand up.
The woman thought that he was leaving, but when she thought that the first person to talk to her would leave, and that she would fall into boundless loneliness, she did not care about fear, nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes, and asked nervously, "Where are you going?" β
Helian Che glanced at her and replied, "Repay the favor!" β
With that, he walked towards the worn-out bow in the corner.
