11. Headless Corpse: Dead and broken

The scene in front of me suddenly changed again.

In the imperial study, Zhou Jingyan turned his back to the person kneeling in the room, his eyes were closed, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, but his whole body exuded a murderous aura.

The kneeling man was covered in blood, and he kept saying, "We were led into the mountain col, Zhuo Ao had already laid an ambush, and the general took us to break through desperately, but we still died tragically under Zhuo Ao's knife, and the whole army was wiped out." Zhuo Ao cut off the general's head and threw it into the water with the corpse, and I jumped into the water with my last breath, but only found the general's head, and the body had sunk to the bottom. Yue Wenxian couldn't cry, and it seemed that he might faint at any time.

"Enough, you go down". Zhou Jingyan interrupted Yue Wenxian's crying.

"Weichen retreated" Yue Wenxian got up and staggered out, looking at Zhou Jingyan's angry back, the corners of his eyes showed a sly glimmer.

The servants were kicked out, and the door creaked shut.

Zhou Jingyan propped one hand on the table, slowly turned around, and looked at the one on the ground, wrapped in a white cloth, which was said to be Qin Yi's head. The blood on the white cloth had congealed to a dull black. Zhou Jingyan stepped forward step by step, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and slowly untied the knot, the white cloth slowly fell, and just fell to the eyebrows, Zhou Jingyan hurriedly got up and turned around, no longer looking.

The tears that I endured finally came out of my eyes.

"Didn't you say that it was good to drink celebration wine? I have prepared the wine, what about you?"

With his fists clenched, Zhou Jingyan gritted his teeth and said, "Zhuo Ao, I will let you pay for your life!"

Three days later, Zhuo Ao's army attacked the city gate at night.

In the court, the ministers were panicked.

"The soldiers outside the city are almost unable to hold on, without General Qin, who can still resist the enemy army?"

"Now that the enemy army has reached the foot of the city gate, and our army is outnumbered, what should we do?"

"Let's persuade Your Majesty to surrender, so that you can get a way out. ”

As soon as Tou Cheng's words came out, everyone was silent, and there was not a word of opposition, and they seemed to support this proposal silently.

"Aiqing, it's really a good plan. The words arrived first, Zhou Jingyan walked out from behind the scenes, and the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, what are you?" Hearing the question, everyone looked at Zhou Jingyan together. I saw that he was not wearing a dragon robe, but wearing the golden armor of battle. There are only two pairs of such golden armor in Nanning Kingdom, one was given to Qin Yi by Zhou Jingyan, and the other was prepared by himself.

Zhou Jingyan said, "I will personally go up to the city tower to command the battle, if I want to break through the Nanning Kingdom, it is not so easy, I am here, the city is here." ”

The waning moon hangs high, and the streets are cold.

The occupants near the city gate had long since disappeared, and they were frightened by the shouts of killing outside the city. The torches on the castle tower reflected a dark shadow.

In the city, archers and slingers did not stop for a moment, so that the enemy army who wanted to go to the city had no chance.

Under the city, the soldiers are still fighting bloodily, preventing the enemy from approaching the city gates.

The trumpets sounded, and the drums of war were urgent.

Zhou Jingyan held the military flag in his hand, stood on the city tower in a sassy manner, all the soldiers were greatly encouraged, and the sword against the enemy seemed to be injected with strength in an instant, and the strength of killing the enemy was much greater, and the enemy army seemed to have been retreated a few points.

Inside the city gate, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the deserted street, and a group of people and horses came quickly, and the leader was Yue Wenxian, with his own soldiers hidden for many years.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to help you."

Yue Wenxian shouted towards the city tower, and when he saw the reinforcements coming, the soldiers on the city tower cheered, but in the next second, they turned into frightened colors.

A sneer, "Kill"!

Under the order, the soldiers behind Yue Wenxian raised their bows and arrows and shot directly at the dead soldiers who arrived at the city gate, and the sharp arrows pierced the heart.

Outside the city, the enemy's crossbows had already aimed at Zhou Jingyan on the city tower, and thousands of arrows were fired at once.

The military flag fell, the city gate opened, the enemy army entered, and the Nanning Kingdom was destroyed.

Since then, there is no Nanning country in the world, only Nanning County, Moliang country, and the county guards Yue Wenxian.

The light surrounding Li'an and Qingxun gradually faded, the scene in front of him began to blur, and suddenly a person walked out from behind him, Li'an saw clearly that this person was Qin Yi's resentful spirit, he walked to Zhou Jingyan's side, looked at the monarch who was pierced by ten thousand arrows, and knelt down. He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood stains off Zhou Jingyan's face, but the spirit body was nothing to mortals.

Since Yue Wenxian appeared, Zhou Jingyan knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, and there was only desolation left in his heart.

Qin Yi, who was kneeling, shrugged his shoulders, and Li An knew that this was a subconscious action when crying.

The light dissipated, except for Li'an, Qingxun and Qin Yi, who was kneeling, all illusions disappeared, and they returned to the stone mountain on the battlefield just now.

Qin Yi stood up and walked in front of Li An, this was the first time Li An had clearly seen Qin Yi with a complete spirit body, and his face was full of pain and remorse.

"Miss Li'an, you have seen all my grievances, my condition is to ask you to stop this catastrophe in three days, at this moment Yue Wenxian is carrying my head back to Nanning Kingdom, you have to rush before him to expose his conspiracy. We must protect Jingyan and Nanning! Please!"

After saying the last three words, Qin Yi bowed to Li An vigorously, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and returned to the black pearl.

Li An was stunned in place, still in the shock just now, Zhou Jingyan's desolation, the despair in the eyes of those soldiers, and Yue Wenxian's sneer all lingered in her mind.

Suddenly, she woke up, "Yes, I'm going to Nanning quickly." But how do I get there?"

"Did you forget me?" Qingxun next to him said helplessly, it seems that this girl has long forgotten that there is someone else around.

Li An hurriedly grabbed Qingxun's sleeve, "You know where Nanning is, you take me quickly." ”

"What are you going to do?" Qingxun was unmoved.

"What else can I do, I'll go to Zhou Jingyan and tell him that everything is a conspiracy of Yue Wenxian and Zhuo Ao, and tell him not to believe his words and take precautions. ”

Qingxun looked at Li'an and said seriously, "Do you know that we and the rules of the mortal world, we must not use spiritual power to interfere in the affairs of the human world. You are here because you have made an agreement with the wraith, and you have become the variable in between, and you can fulfill his last wish where the wraith wants you to appear, but have you ever thought that if nothing changes the outcome, you and the wraith will disappear? The resentful spirit is trying to solve his regrets at the cost of not entering reincarnation, so what about you, why do you have to work for him?"

Hearing Qingxun's words, Li'an's eyes sank, and the man in black only told her that if she didn't resolve the resentment of the resentful spirit, she would be wiped out, and he didn't say it in such detail.

Thinking of the clansmen, immediately, there was a light in her eyes again, "Anyway, the agreement between me and the resentful spirits has been reached, they have been imprisoned in the deep sea for ten thousand years by their own grievances, someone has to help them, as for whether it will work or not, just try it." ”

Hearing Li'an's firmness, Qingxun didn't insist anymore, urged his spiritual power, and took Li'an to Nanning in an instant.
