Chapter 67: Pray for his peace, and worry about everything
After Gu Hengzhou finished saying that, he was full of momentum, and with force in his hand, he pressed the scimitar into the shoulder of Dusk Kesha by half an inch.
The crimson blood slid along the cold and sharp arc of the scimitar to the tip of the knife, the sun rose to the top of the head, the full blood beads looked crystal moist in the sunlight, and there were beautiful fine fragments of light refracted out, and the legs of Twilight Kesha were uncontrollably slightly bent, and his body was pressed to sink.
Dusk Kesha's face was no longer as relaxed as at the beginning, he was infinitely powerful, and no one in the entire Dongheng Kingdom might be able to beat him, so he didn't take Gu Hengzhou in his eyes at first, but after a few back and forth, he found that this Zhaoling boy named Gu Hengzhou was extremely strong, although his strength was not as great as his, but every attack could fall in the most tricky place, making it difficult for him to dodge.
It's a bit tricky to deal with, but ...... Twilight doesn't think she's going to lose.
Twilight Kesha licked his lips, hooked his lips and smiled, deliberately provocative: "Your Royal Highness, did you only learn this skill from your father?" ”
Gu Hengzhou's eyes were dark, the sun above his head was so big, but his eyes were dark and dull and couldn't penetrate a little light, when he heard Twilight Sand mention his father, his eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his leg and gave Twilight Sand a kick in the chest.
That kick was extremely hard, and Twilight was kicked out of the roof directly, falling down, Twilight Sand hooked the wall of the next room with a scimitar, pulled hard, and jumped on the roof next to it.
As soon as he stood firm, Gu Hengzhou hit like an arrow from the string like a rainbow, Dusk Kesha had no chance to think, and immediately raised his knife to block, but Gu Hengzhou's move changed twice as fast as just now, Dusk Kesha didn't have time to think about how to disassemble the tricks, so he could only keep blocking with instinct, and was forced to retreat again and again by Gu Hengzhou, with almost no room to fight back.
The speed of the two of them was too fast, and Shen Bai and Zhou Jue only saw the splashing sparks and two fast-moving figures.
Zhou Jue took Chu Yingtian to the roof where Shen Bai was, and was shocked by the battle between Gu Hengzhou and Du Kesha, and couldn't help but speak: "It's the first time I've seen Brother Gu fight with someone so seriously. ”
Isn't this nonsense?
Brother Gu is so good, if he is so serious in the martial arts test of Tai Academy, wouldn't he kill people in a few moves?
Shen Bai rolled his eyes, threw away the suona and gasped for breath, and only after recovering a little bit did he ask Zhou Jue: "Where is the young master now?" ”
Although Shen Bai was very flattering to Zhao Che along the way, she was also very attentive, she went to see Dukesha alone, but the others left directly, and they didn't care about her.
Zhou Jue felt ashamed, his expression was unnatural, and he whispered: "I was escorted out of the city by those others, if it goes well, I should have returned to Muzhou." ”
Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhao Che returned to Zhaoling safely.
His head was so dizzy that Shen Bai couldn't hold it anymore, and a long and heavy bell suddenly rang in his ears, exactly the same as the day they first entered the city.
Is it another storm?
Shen Bai's expression was dazed, and when he came to his senses, Miao Ruoxi ran upstairs and said anxiously: "Someone is pouring wine on the street!" ”
Pour wine?
Shen Bai leaned on the edge of the eaves and looked down, and saw the clear wine flowing like a stream, and the mellow aroma of wine instantly diffused in the air.
Zhou Jue spat angrily: "The people here are crazy, such a good wine is poured like this, is it full and has nothing to do?" ”
Stuck to the ground and have nothing to do?
No, these wines must be useful when they are poured.
Just thinking about it, thick smoke rose from the street not far away, and the fire spread quickly, Shen Bai secretly said that it was not good, and the fierce fire had burned to the street where they were in an instant along the wine just now.
Red silk was hung outside every house, and dry firewood was piled up, and the houses on both sides soon burned, and the flames jumped very high, and Shen Bai felt the scorching heat wave when he stood upstairs.
Zhou Jue looked at everything that was happening in front of him dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief: "...... What do they want to do? ”
Shen Bai whispered, "Slaughter the city!" ”
Zhou Jue felt that he was hallucinating, and his tongue was knotted: "What...... What's that? None of these people want to live? ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of Qingling's flute slowly swept away with the waves of fire, and it was the chant sung by the elders of the sacrifice last time, and it was also the requiem of the emperor in the Zhaoling army.
The voice came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, where the priests and elders were, and the sacrificial point this time should also be there.
This place will soon become a sea of fire, Shen Bai has no time to explore why there is such a sacrifice here with the lives of thousands of people in the entire city, Shen Bai pulled out the dagger in his boots and slashed his hand, blood immediately gushed out, Zhou Jue glared at her and scolded: "What are you crazy about?" ”
Shen Bai stiffened his face and didn't speak, ripped off his sweat towel and wrapped his wrists, and said to the two soldiers who had been ordered to protect Miao Ruoxi before: "Protect the fifth princess, come with me!" ”
They have to get out of here as soon as possible, and she can't be a drag.
Shen Bai took the lead in running in the direction of the city gate, Gu Hengzhou sent the two soldiers to Miao Ruoxi, one with Miao Ruoxi on his back, and the other with Chu Yingtian on his back, followed closely behind Shen Bai, Zhou Jue secretly scolded a madman, and finally obediently followed Shen Bai.
The group had been running for a quarter of an hour, and when they were approaching the gate of the city, the walls were also full of soldiers, all with bows and crossbows in their hands, and no one was allowed to leave the city.
Shen Bai stopped, sideways to avoid a sharp arrow that broke through the air, and burst into a foul mouth in his heart, just as he was looking for another way out of the city, when a loud noise came from the top of Huairou Mountain.
Following the prestige, the year-old snow on the top of the mountain exploded a huge flower in the air, countless snowflakes flew, refracting colorful colors in the sun, and the beauty was thrilling, and Shen Bai felt that the roof under his feet was trembling slightly.
Everyone's attention was attracted by this splendid spectacle, but a moment later, the snow on the top of Hengrou Mountain was slightly tilted, like a huge monster, suddenly awakened after years of sleep.
The monster opened its eyes, yawned, and found that the sea in the world had turned into a mulberry field, so it was furious, broke the brilliant snowflakes, and rushed towards the city of twilight with great momentum.
It's an avalanche!
The snow was rolling down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dense trees on the mountains could not stop it, not even the tall, thick walls.
The speed of the avalanche was much faster than the speed of the fire, and before he had time to think about it, Shen Bai shouted loudly: "Get down!" ”
Zhou Jue was yelled at and came back to his senses, and his first reaction was to rush over and protect Shen Bai under him.
The next moment, the rushing snow slammed into the city wall, making a huge and extremely dull sound, and the cold snowflakes instantly swept through the entire Dusk City under the rampant wind.
Shen Bai and the others were very close to the city gate, and their bodies were directly covered with a thick layer of snow, and their hearts were invaded by the fierce cold air and snowflakes, and a sharp sting pain came from them in an instant.
"Ahem!"
When the whistling wind stopped, Zhou Jue first stood up and coughed violently.
Shen Bai was protected by him, and the cold air he inhaled was relatively small, and when he raised his head, he found that the tall city wall had been smashed into a huge gap by the majestic snow, and the city tower was covered with a thick layer of snow.
The fire that had just been ignited in the city was extinguished by the roaring snow and ice, and turned into a steaming mist that shrouded the sky above the city, and there was a faint rainbow in the sunlight.
Zhou Jue coughed so much that tears came out, and he couldn't help but scold: "What the hell is this place, it's fire for a while, it's snow for a while, it's just two heavens of ice and fire, it can't be that they suddenly don't want to die, right?" ”
"It's not." Shen Bai said softly, "It's the young master who came to save us." ”
Through the gap in the city wall, I saw from a distance that on Hengrou Mountain, there was an ink-colored figure with seven or eight people speeding through the snow-covered mountains, and behind them, there were constantly gray-clothed soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds rushing out of the Nanheng plank road.
That was the prince of their Zhaoling, the king to whom they would be loyal with their lives and blood for many years to come.
He mastered the blow up of the top of Hengrou Mountain, and saved the people of the city with the snow on the top.
Although Zhao Che didn't do this specifically to save Shen Bai and them, they were indeed because Zhao Che was saved.
Zhou Jue also recognized Zhao Che, his chest was hot, and he wanted to turn his head and announce to everyone here: Have you seen it? This is the prince of our Zhaoling! Today he can blow up the mountain to save you, and in the future, he will be able to rule the world, and he will be able to make the eight directions come to court!
Zhao Che brought soldiers and horses from Muzhou, and the situation could be controlled, Shen Bai was a little relieved, and was about to see where Gu Hengzhou was, when Miao Ruoxi's exclamation came from his ears.
Miao Ruoxi was swept away with a long whip by a man wearing a white cloak, and the cloak and hat were so large that the man's face was completely obscured, and he couldn't see his face.
Shen Bai and Zhou Jue ordered at the same time: "Let go of her!" ”
The man didn't speak, and ran in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion with Miao Ruoxi on his shoulder, Shen Bai and Zhou Jue immediately followed, and the two soldiers got up from the snowdrift and followed.
The person was very fast, Shen Bai had a fever, Zhou Jue was injured again, the two were quickly thrown away for a distance, seeing that this person was about to enter the City Lord's Mansion, a long sword flew out diagonally, forcing the person to stop, and the next moment Gu Hengzhou jumped on the roof and stopped in front of the person.
Dusk Kesha disappeared, except for the wound on his right arm, Gu Hengzhou added a slender wound on the left side of his face, he raised his hand to catch the long sword, and stood on a hazy white snow, his clothes flew up, like a peerless sword that had just drunk blood, and the edge was exposed.
Shen Bai saw that his chest was hot, and immediately shouted: "Brother Gu, beat him quickly!" ”
When the words fell, the man in the white cloak took the first step to swing the whip, Gu Hengzhou did not avoid it, directly grabbed the whip, and pulled it hard, and the person was pulled forward and pounced.
Knowing that his strength was inferior to Gu Hengzhou, the man immediately let go of the whip and stopped at the edge of the roof.
The man still wanted to find another way to escape, but Shen Bai gloated: "Brother, don't run away, just let go of the girl you are carrying on your back, otherwise we can't guarantee that you can leave a whole corpse." ”
Zhou Jue also believed in Gu Hengzhou's strength, and echoed: "That's it, don't struggle, even if you add up to ten, you can't beat the person in front of you." ”
As soon as the two finished speaking, Gu Hengzhou picked up the long whip he had just seized and waved it lightly, directly hitting the man's face, causing him to take a few steps back.
Gu Hengzhou's hand was quite neat, Shen Bai and Zhou Jue immediately clapped their hands, the man couldn't advance or retreat, and was about to put Miao Ruoxi down, Gu Hengzhou suddenly rushed to the man, grabbed the man's collar with one hand, bent his knees and went up, Miao Ruoxi was thrown to the ground, the man's body bowed into a shrimp, and directly sprayed a mouthful of blood on Gu Hengzhou's body.
The bright red flowers smeared on the silver-gray brocade clothes, like the flowers on the other side of the demonic industry, dyeing Gu Hengzhou with a cold and terrifying death.
Shen Bai's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong with Gu Hengzhou, and shouted: "Brother Gu, stop!" ”
It's too late.
Gu Hengzhou directly slashed the man's head with a sword.
Hot and bright red blood splattered out from his bare neck, drawing hideous and terrifying traces on the snow-white roof, Miao Ruoxi screamed in fright, Gu Hengzhou tilted his head, and Shen Bai shouted again: "Gu Hengzhou!" ”
Gu Hengzhou paused, threw the person's body away like a rag bag, and then set his eyes on Shen Bai.
It was only at this time that Shen Bai discovered that Gu Hengzhou's eyes turned a strange red at some point, there was no light or heat in them, only the surging bloody killings, which was completely different from the usual calm, self-controlled, indifferent and polite Gu Hengzhou.
Subconsciously, Shen Bai clenched the dagger in his hand, and Zhou Jue also found that Gu Hengzhou was not in the right state, swallowed his saliva and asked Shen Bai: "Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Why do I think Brother Gu even wants to kill us? ”
Shen Bai gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and said to Zhou Jue: "I will attract Brother Gu's attention in a while, you seize the opportunity to stun him while he is unprepared!" ”
Zhou Jue: "......"
What is the difference between sneaking up on Brother Gu from behind and sending him to death directly?
The corners of Zhou Jue's eyes twitched twice, Shen Bai patted him on the shoulder, and ran forward, Gu Hengzhou kept staring at her, almost at the moment of her movements, like a cheetah that had long been ready to attack.
Zhou Jue hid to the side, Gu Hengzhou glanced at him distractedly, Zhou Jue was so excited that he almost knelt down and hugged Gu Hengzhou's leg and begged for mercy.
"Gu Hengzhou, you have the ability to chase me!"
Shen Bai shouted, jumped directly from the roof, disappeared, Gu Hengzhou retracted his gaze and chased after him directly.
After Shen Bai jumped down, he directly broke into a house next to him, grabbed an iron spoon and knocked the lid of the pot, went straight out of the window, ran for a while, and hid in a room like just now.
The sawdust flew in the golden light, and Gu Hengzhou walked into the house step by step with a long sword in his hand, his posture was as tall as a pine, and although his face was cold and black, it did not affect his handsomeness at all.
Shen Bai hid the dagger behind him, moved to the window quietly, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Gu, I know it's wrong for me to kiss you that night, let's have something to say, don't use knives and guns, okay?" ”
Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, and approached step by step.
Shen Bai was so nervous that cold sweat broke out in her palms, she clenched the dagger tightly, she was not sure that she would be able to go out of the window smoothly at such a close distance without being caught by Gu Hengzhou, and she was not sure that she would be able to retreat after making a move with Gu Hengzhou.
Seeing that Gu Hengzhou was already in front of him, a loud gong sound came from outside, Shen Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran out of the window.
Her body was soft after the cold, and after running so much, she was so tired that she couldn't breathe, and her legs were a little weak.
The sound of the gong behind him became more and more dense, Shen Bai gritted his teeth and didn't dare to stop, he could only pray that Gu Hengzhou could be attracted by Zhou Jue's attention for a while, so that she could quickly find a place to set up an ambush.
It's a pity that Shen Bai's prayer didn't take effect, and after running a few steps, Shen Bai saw a shadow above his head, and almost instinctively rolled to the side, Gu Hengzhou fell half a step behind her, and directly slashed his sword on the ground.
The two-inch-thick floor tiles were directly split, and the long sword also broke into two pieces and flew out.
Shen Bai was afraid for a while, if she hadn't seen the shadow, or if she had moved a little slower, she would have been split in half by Gu Hengzhou by now.
Reliving a life, except for taking advantage of Gu Hengzhou, she has never done anything to be sorry for him, why does he always want to kill her inexplicably?
Shen Bai wanted to cry a little, Zhou Jue chased him out with the gong and knocked it twice, and said to Shen Bai helplessly: "Brother Gu, he ignores me, it seems that he recognizes you." ”
Shen Bai: "......"
Brother Gu, I want you to recognize that I like it, but I don't want you to recognize me for chopping.
You can't run away like this, anyway, Gu Hengzhou's sword has been broken, Shen Bai shouted at Zhou Jue: "I can't run anymore, you pay attention to finding opportunities!" ”
Zhou Jue was completely unprepared, and let out a helpless sigh, Shen Bai got up from the ground, Gu Hengzhou immediately stabbed her with a broken sword, Shen Bai took a step back and avoided it, and the broken sword was inserted into the wall behind him.
Zhou Jue saw that his heartbeat was about to stop, and he ran two steps forward and asked, "The surname is Shen, you are not dead, are you?" ”
Shen Bai said: "Not dead! ”
After speaking, he directly threw away the dagger, and the whole person jumped on Gu Hengzhou like an octopus, holding Gu Hengzhou's neck tightly with both hands, and clamping Gu Hengzhou's waist with his legs.
Anyway, he will be caught wherever he runs, so it is safest to jump directly into his arms.
Shen Bai crossed Gu Hengzhou's shoulder and looked at Zhou Jue and shouted, "Why don't you come over and do it?" ”
Zhou Jue had a toothache, and stood vigilantly ten steps away from Gu Hengzhou: "With your small body, even if you hang ten on him, he can beat me all over the ground to find teeth, will I come and die?" ”
Shen Bai scolded: "Zhou Jue, you dog grandson, you don't talk much, the master won't let you go!" ”
At the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Jue risked his face and replied loudly: "You asked me to take the opportunity to act, I don't think the time is suitable for doing it." ”
Shen Bai said: "You fart! ”
Shen Bai was furious, and was about to greet the ancestors of the Zhou family, Zhou Jue said suspiciously: "Eh? Brother Gu seemed to have calmed down. ”
As soon as Zhou Jue said this, Shen Bai also found that after he jumped on Gu Hengzhou, he seemed to be standing here without moving.
Shen Bai moved his head cautiously, but when he looked up, he could only see Gu Hengzhou's cold and hard chin like a knife, and he couldn't see his expression.
Shen Bai tentatively spoke: "Brother Gu, do you recognize who I am?" ”
Gu Hengzhou's head moved, he lowered his head slightly, and Shen Bai saw his stiff face and his red eyes.
At such a close distance, Shen Bai could clearly see the mist-colored blood in his red eyes, but he couldn't see the shadow reflected in his eyes.
This is a pair of eyes with no temperature, no emotion, no reason, only animal nature.
This is not the Gu Hengzhou she knows.
Although he knew that Gu Hengzhou didn't know him now, Shen Bai still held on to a glimmer of hope and said, "Gu Hengzhou, I'm Shen Bai." ”
Gu Hengzhou's eyes moved, as if he was trying to identify who she was.
Shen Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little excited, did Gu Hengzhou recognize her before he completely lost his mind?
This realization made Shen Bai very excited, and she continued: "Brother Gu, I ......"
As soon as Shen Bai got up, a cold light suddenly flashed, and his waist tightened, Gu Hengzhou clamped her waist hard, took her back a step back, and looked at Zhao Che who came in a hurry vigilantly.
Zhao Che followed Zhou Jue's gong just now, and when he saw Shen Bai hanging on Gu Hengzhou like this, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing?" ”
Your Highness, you have come at a good time!
Shen Bai secretly complained bitterly, dared to hold Gu Hengzhou's face and broke it to himself, and quickly explained to Zhao Che: "Brother Gu was killed by gangsters and now loses his mind, young master, stay away from him!" ”
Before Zhao Che understood what the phrase "lost his mind" meant, Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai and attacked him.
Gu Hengzhou didn't have a weapon in his hand, he directly used his fist, Zhao Che avoided it sideways, Gu Hengzhou smashed the wall with a punch, the wall bricks were shattered, Gu Hengzhou's finger bones were broken, and the wall was stained with blood.
Shen Bai couldn't take care of the distress, hugged Gu Hengzhou's arm and said to Zhao Che: "I have a way to trap him, young master, go quickly!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai was directly ripped off his body by Gu Hengzhou's belt, smashed directly into the wall next to him, and then fell to the ground heavily, not getting up for a long time.
Is there a way to trap him?
Zhao Che took the initiative to attack Gu Hengzhou with his sword, Gu Hengzhou dodged twice, clasped his hands together and clamped Zhao Che's sword, and with a forceful break, Zhao Che's sword was instantly broken into two pieces.
Zhao Che was startled, he was kicked in the chest by Gu Hengzhou, and flew far away, Gu Hengzhou pounced, grabbed the broken sword and was about to stab it, Zhao Che's pupils shrank, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Gu Hengzhou, you dare!" ”
The tip of the sword stopped an inch away from Zhao Che's neck, Shen Bai's heart jumped to his throat, Zhou Jue grabbed the gong and jumped behind Gu Hengzhou, and smashed it down on the back of Gu Hengzhou's head with all his might.
Clang!
The gong made a loud sound, which made Zhou Jue's mouth numb, he was not sure that he could smash Gu Hengzhou out this time, and was about to seize the opportunity to do it again, Gu Hengzhou fell to the ground.
Zhou Jue hurriedly threw the gong aside, reached out to probe Gu Hengzhou's snort, and after detecting the warm breath, he sat down on the ground with his butt: "It's okay, there is still gas." ”
Zhou Jue's hand strength has grown a lot recently, and he doesn't know what he will do to Gu Hengzhou this time, Shen Bai was so worried, but he still helped Zhao Che up first, and asked with concern: "Young master, are you okay?" ”
Zhao Che clutched his chest and coughed twice, his brows furrowed in pain.
Gu Hengzhou's kick was not small, but he was afraid that his sternum would be injured.
Shen Bai didn't dare to excuse Gu Hengzhou at this time, and only said to Zhao Che: "Young Master, let's go to Muzhou to heal first." ”
Zhao Che stood up, waved his hand to push Shen Bai away, suppressed the stinging pain in his chest and said in a deep voice: "I'm not that fragile, today I want to see who made so many things!" ”
Zhao Che spoke with a lot of confidence, even if he was injured, it should not be very serious, Shen Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Jue took off his belt and tied Gu Hengzhou up, and carried him and Zhao Che to the City Lord's Mansion together.
Gu Hengzhou brought those elite soldiers who had already solved the people of the City Lord's Mansion, and they were all concentrated in the City Lord's Mansion at this time.
After Zhao Che took Shen Bai and them into the lobby, one of them stepped forward and said: "The body of Dusk Kesha has been recovered, and his subordinates have found a dungeon made of a natural cave inside, and the people in the city are concentrated in it, they have been hit by an unknown phantom drug, and all of them committed suicide by cutting their wrists inside, and the blood attracted the blood crows in the cave, and some of them were eaten raw by the blood crows." ”
Everyone committed suicide by slitting their wrists inside, allowing the blood crows in the cave to eat themselves alive?
Shen Bai remembered the scene in the dungeon before, and couldn't help but shudder, not daring to think about those scenes like purgatory in the world anymore, Zhou Jue also frowned a little disgusted.
Zhao Che only frowned slightly, and the man continued to pray: "The subordinates stunned them with drugs, and some of them have been rescued, and there are eighteen elders in charge of the sacrifice at the scene, when the subordinates arrived, they were preparing to commit suicide, and the subordinates tried their best to save only one person, Your Highness wants to see her?" ”
Zhao Che said, "Bring it here!" ”
The man retreated, Zhao Che covered his lips and coughed, his chest was still very painful, Shen Bai hurriedly patted him on the back, and quickly pondered in his mind how to help Gu Hengzhou exonerate later.
Just now, Gu Hengzhou really almost killed the future prince of Zhaoling, if this matter was known by Emperor Hengde, I was afraid that the entire Guogong Mansion would be destroyed.
Shen Bai thought as the two soldiers brought up the only surviving sacrificial elder.
Like the person who had just been killed by Gu Hengzhou, this sacrificial elder was also wearing a wide white cloak, and now this white cloak was completely soaked in blood.
The blood was no one else's, but he himself cut his throat.
Today's sacrifice, they are determined to die, and they plan to die with the entire people in the city of twilight.
Afraid that he would have to find a short-sightedness, his hands and feet were tied, and even his mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth.
In fact, the injury on his neck was very serious, and even if he didn't continue to look for a short time, he would soon die of excessive blood loss.
Shen Bai was very curious about why someone would deliberately do such a thing, but now that he saw this person, he suddenly didn't dare to know.
If they hadn't experienced something of extreme despair and sorrow, how could they do something with all their might, and then end their own lives with it?
Zhao Che asked people to tear off the cotton cloth in the man's mouth, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you from Dongheng or Zhaoling?" Why do you want to kill all the people in the city? ”
The man lay quietly on the ground, not meant to speak, only a slight heaving chest to prove that he was alive, not a dead body.
A person who already has a belief in death, even torture may not be able to pry his mouth open.
Shen Bai pondered for a while, and said softly: "Dusk Kesha is dead, and the people in the city have also died a lot, and your revenge is half avenged, but those who sat idly by and ignored them were still enjoying the glory and wealth in Zhaoling, do you plan to just let them go?" ”
After Shen Bai finished speaking, the man's eyes opened suddenly, and a monstrous hatred burst out from the bottom of his eyes.
Sure enough, they deliberately chose to use the requiem in the army as a sacrificial chant, they are Zhaoling people!
Shen Bai was not happy that this guess was confirmed, on the contrary, his heart pressed a heavy solemnity, took a deep breath, Shen Bai said calmly: "Sitting next to me is the future prince of Zhaoling, today he personally brought people from Muzhou to prevent you from slaughtering the innocent people in the city. ”
The man's breathing became rapid, choking and vomiting blood, Shen Bai walked to him and squatted down, helped him press the wound on his neck, pointed to Gu Hengzhou, who was still unconscious on the side, and continued: "This is Gu Hengzhou, the only son of the Duke of Zhenguo, today he rushed back to the city with a hundred elites and killed Dukesha with his own hands, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, you can say it directly." ”
The man's face was old, he looked like he was in his fifties, after hearing the three words of Zhen Guogong, he tried to turn his head to look at Gu Hengzhou, his empty eyes gradually gathered a little light, as if he remembered something happy, and then the bottom of his eyes floated with water, extremely sad.
Hot blood kept pouring out from his fingers, and Shen Bai knew that he was about to die, so he lowered his head and leaned closer and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
The man's lips trembled twice, and he roared with all his might: "Guogong Mingjian, it is Zhaoling who bears me first!" It was Zhaoling who took us first!! ”
The more the man shouted, the more excited he became, his head desperately raised upward, his neck was bruised, his eyes were wide, but two lines of hot tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.
These two voices were full of grievances and unwillingness, Zhao Che stood up and asked, "Why did Zhaoling fail you?" ”
The man maintained a posture with his head held high, the tears in the corners of his eyes had not dried, but he had stopped breathing, and Shen Bai's hand was pressed on his neck, and he couldn't feel his pulse beating at all.
His chest sank violently, Shen Bai stretched out his hand to cover the man's eyes, hiding the surging emotions, looked up at Zhao Che and said, "Young Master, he's dead." ”
Zhao Che's thin lips were pursed, his expression was dark, and his ears kept echoing the two words that this person roared at the end.
It was Zhaoling who took them first, so they secretly infiltrated the city of twilight and slaughtered the city.
But until this time, Zhao Che didn't know their names, nor did he know what they had experienced in Zhaoling.
Zhao Che sat down in a daze, and after a while, he said to the person next to him: "Bury these eighteen priests and elders in a place where you can see Muzhou on the top of Hengrou Mountain." ”
"Yes!"
Immediately someone stepped forward and dragged the man's body away.
Shen Bai's hand was stained with blood, she lifted the hem of her clothes and wiped it casually, hiding her surging emotions and asking Zhao Che: "Does the young master plan to continue to go to Hengyang or go back to Muzhou first?" ”
There is only a mountain between Dusk and Muzhou, and most of the disaster of Dusk and Muzhou is inseparable from Hemuzhou, and now I may be able to find some clues when I go back to investigate.
But Zhao Che mobilized the soldiers and horses of Muzhou, either showing his identity as a wronged envoy or as a prince, and the officials of Muzhou must have been alerted.
Zhao Che lifted his eyes and looked at Shen Bai: "How do you think I should go?" ”
Shen Bai lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and nose, and said lightly: "I think the young master should continue to go to Hengyang, the young master blew up other people's mountains, and Brother Gu killed other people's city lords, he should always give people an explanation, otherwise it may hurt the friendship between the two countries." ”
The mountain has exploded, the people have been killed, and it is only at this time that I send it to the door to apologize to others, and it doesn't look like I sincerely ask for forgiveness.
Zhao Che raised his eyebrows, and Shen Bai continued: "And Nanheng Plank Road, as the only fortress between Dongheng and Zhaoling, is the result of many years of penance by countless craftsmen in Zhaoling. ”
This is the key point that Shen Bai wants to say, Nanheng Plank Road is an important foreign trade channel in Zhaoling, Zhaoling wants to strengthen the army and refine weapons, and it is absolutely impossible for the treasury to be full.
Zhao Che didn't answer immediately, and Shen Bai didn't urge, but said, "Brother Gu doesn't know why he suddenly lost his mind, the most important thing at the moment is to let him return to normal." ”
As soon as Shen Bai finished speaking, Miao Ruoxi was brought in from outside, and she happened to hear what Shen Bai said, and said softly: "I know what to do." ”
Zhao Che didn't know Miao Ruoxi's identity yet, and Shen Bai took the initiative to help her explain: "Young Master, this is Miao Ruoxi, the fifth princess of Dongheng Kingdom, she saved my life when she was locked in the dungeon by Dusk Kesha before. ”
Thinking that Miao Ruoxi would marry Zhao Che as the queen in the future, Shen Bai subconsciously didn't say that Miao Ruoxi was sent to marry Du Kesha, for fear that Zhao Che would be upset if he knew it.
Shen Bai's attitude towards Zhao Che was very respectful, but he was called the young master, Miao Ruoxi had never heard of Zhaoling still having this position, so he looked at Zhao Che curiously, bowed his head, and then looked at Shen Bai and continued: "Dusk Kesha should have been hit by a chronic poison, this poison can make people's temperament gradually irritable, and their physical fitness will become stronger and stronger, but when their physical strength reaches its strongest, the muscles and veins in the body will burst. ”
This poison is really strong enough.
Zhou Jue had been uneasy because he smashed Gu Hengzhou, and hurriedly asked, "Then Brother Gu will also burst his muscles?" ”
Miao Ruoxi shook his head: "He should be contaminated with the blood of Dukesha, so he has been affected, the poisoning is not deep, as long as he picks a few herbs and comes back to make an antidote and drink it, he can return to normal." ”
Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief: "This is simple, then I will accompany the princess to pick herbs now." ”
Miao Ruoxi just wanted to agree, but Zhao Che said coldly: "How do I know if what you say is the truth or a lie?" The person lying here is the only son of our Zhaoling Town Guogong! ”
Zhao Che's eyes were full of scrutiny, Miao Ruoxi looked at him, and said calmly: "Dusk Kesha is dead, I have no way to find someone to test the medicine, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone else to treat him." ”
The other people in the city were not as trustworthy as her, Shen Bai hurriedly spoke: "Young Master, I vouch for her, she won't hurt Brother Gu!" ”
Shen Bai knew that Miao Ruoxi had no hostility towards the Zhaoling people, otherwise she would have hidden poison and killed Zhao Che in the previous life.
After a stalemate for a moment, Zhao Che waved his hand and asked Zhou Jue to take people and Miao Ruoxi to pick herbs together.
There were so many unconscious people in the city that it was not until night that all the unconscious people in the dungeon were moved outside.
Shen Bai asked people to take back all the weapons in the city, and after dinner, he specially called Chu Yingtian and went to Zhao Che's house with those broken swords and a scimitar.
Zhao Che was about to rest for a while and take a bath, when he saw Shen Bai coming in with Chu Yingtian and a bunch of broken weapons, his brows furrowed slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Bai put all the broken swords on the table and said, "Young Master, these three are Brother Gu's sword, Zhou Jue's sword, and your sword. ”
Zhao Che only thought that Shen Bai was patting himself again, and said coldly: "No matter how good the sword is, it can't withstand Gu Hengzhou's folding." ”
Shen Bai shook his head, went to the guard outside the door to borrow a sword and came in for Chu Yingtian to hold, took out the scimitar pinned to his waist, and asked Chu Yingtian to take the sword and slash the knife in his hand.
Chu Yingtian did so, cut for a while and stopped, and Shen Bai walked in front of Zhao Che with the sword and scimitar.
Needless to say, Zhao Che could see that the sword had been cut out of several gaps, but the scimitar was unscathed.
Zhao Che's eyebrows squeezed out wrinkles, and Shen Bai said lightly: "This scimitar is used by an ordinary soldier defending the city in the twilight city, and this sword is used by the elite soldiers brought by Brother Gu this time. ”
Although there had been no major war in Zhaoling for many years, Shen Bai's words still made Zhao Che instantly vigilant.
Chu Yingtian didn't know why Shen Bai asked himself to listen to this kind of thing, but he still remembered that he was going to do something for Zhao Che, and after thinking seriously for a while, he said, "It should be that the time for the sword to be built is not enough, it is too brittle, and the toughness is insufficient." ”
Shen Bai nodded, took out a soft sword from his waist, flicked it lightly with his fingers, and the sword body immediately swayed: "The toughness of this sword is very good, but the strength is very insufficient, it can only be used as a hidden weapon, and if you are unprepared, if you encounter a strong enemy, you will still lose the wind." ”
This is indeed a problem.
Zhao Che patiently heard this, and looked at Shen Bai: "What do you want to say?" ”
Shen Bai grinned: "I have a way to help the young master solve this problem." ”
Zhao Che's eyes flashed slightly, his eyes had already understood everything, and asked Shen Bai: "What do you want to ask for?" ”
Shen Bai bent his eyes, his eyes were as bright as stars: "I want to beg the young master not to blame Brother Gu for his unintentional actions today." ”
She has nothing to ask for for herself, she just wants a Gu Hengzhou to be safe and smooth, and everything is worry-free.
"What if I refuse?"
Zhao Che asked, his eyes were cold, colder than the snow piled up outside the city gate that had not yet melted, Shen Bai blinked his eyes, and said very casually: "If you refuse, then I haven't said it." ”
Zhao Che: "......"
……
After coming out of Zhao Che and separating from Chu Yingtian, Shen Bai went directly to the backyard to find Miao Ruoxi, and after asking her about the precautions for boiling medicine, he asked her to rest, and sat next to the stove to help Gu Hengzhou boil medicine intently.
This medicine is different from the general prescription of Zhaoling, not only is it not bitter at all, but also has a faint fragrance.
It took more than half an hour, and finally boiled the medicine, Shen Bai poured a big bowl, and waited for the medicine to cool down before taking it to Gu Hengzhou.
I don't know when Gu Hengzhou will wake up, for fear that he will go crazy and hurt people, Zhou Jue still tied him up and didn't loosen it, but just helped him treat and bandage the wound on his head.
The surname Zhou has a bit of a conscience.
Shen Bai slandered, blew the medicine a little cooler, scooped a spoonful and fed it to Gu Hengzhou.
Gu Hengzhou fainted to death, his mouth was tightly closed, the medicine couldn't be fed at all, and all of it flowed out of the corners of his mouth.
Shen Bai used his sleeve to help him dry it, frowned, drank a large mouthful of medicine directly, lowered his head and fed him.
When he was fed to the third mouthful, Shen Bai just put Gu Hengzhou's lips on it, Gu Hengzhou suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were still blood-red, Shen Bai was startled, swallowed the medicine into his stomach with a grunt, jumped up and ran, and there was a sound of cloth belt cracking behind him.
The next moment, the collar was grabbed, and the whole person was thrown back to the bed, his head was shattered, and then he was crushed to death.
Shen Bai was apprehensive about the afternoon's events, and hurriedly spoke: "Brother Gu, spare my dog's life!" ”
Gu Hengzhou lowered his head against her forehead, sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose, like some kind of animal recognizing the smell, and then said in a dumb voice: "Shen Bai? ”
Hearing this, Shen Bai was about to cry, and hurriedly replied: "It's me, it's me, Brother Gu, are you awake?" ”
As soon as the words fell, his mouth was blocked, and Shen Bai's eyes widened in astonishment.
