Chapter Seventy-Three: Recognition
When Bian Che found that Qi Niang was not in Qianji Building, four days had passed, and at this time, Qi Niang had already arrived at the camp in the Northern Wilderness.
"Your Highness, we have discovered an assassin suspected of being an enemy spy." A soldier said to Jeluya on the couch.
Yeluya was leaning on the wooden couch on his side, with bandages on his body, some red on his heart, and his long hair slightly curled in front of him, making him look even more unruly. He raised his eyes lazily and said without any emotion, "Bring it in." ”
"Yes."
Soon, I saw soldiers come in with a man on his back.
Yeluya suddenly sat up from the couch, "Qi Niang, why are you?" Yeluya was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to loosen the rope tied to Qi Niang's body, and instructed the soldiers in the camp: "You all go down, she is not an assassin." ”
Qi Niang stared at his reddened bandage in a daze, her eyes suddenly sore, she held back her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your injury ......"
Yeluya smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, it didn't hurt my heart." "It's also strange to say, Ye Jiu's knife was obviously facing the heart, but when Wei Shaoqing treated him, the knife deviated from the fatal place just right.
I felt that a pair of hands were tightly grasping his arm, Qi Niang leaned on his chest, and her voice was choked and suppressed: "I should have come earlier, Ye Jiu's martial arts are very powerful, even if he didn't plan to kill you, he could hurt his muscles and bones." You haven't been in good health since you were a child, if something happens...... I ......"
Yeluya was slightly stunned, looked down at her and said, "How do you know that I was not in good health when I was a child?" You...... Knew me since childhood? ”
Qi Niang's eyes were filled with mist, she looked straight at him, and swallowed back the words to her lips. How should she recognize him, she has reached this point, but she dare not tell him that she is the sister who cruelly abandoned him nine years ago. Yeluya must hate himself to death.
"Say, have you known me since you were a child?" Yeluya's eyes revealed eagerness and anticipation, but he was a little flustered, as if there was a truth that he didn't want to believe and resisted was about to come out.
Qi Niang held back her tears for a long time.
"Once upon a time, there was a pair of siblings who depended on each other, their parents were killed by the enemy, they fled in all directions, they could not eat enough, and they could only feed on wild vegetables and the prey that their sister had hunted. They survived many days and nights without a meal. The hardest winter came, they cut off the food source, the younger brother was sick, and the elder sister walked alone for a long, long time to look for food, and on the way she met an old lady. The old lady told her that if she didn't want to starve, she would go with her. In order to prevent herself from starving to death, the elder sister hid from her younger brother and lied to him that she went out to forage for food, and never came back. Actually, it's not that my sister doesn't want to go back, my sister was knocked unconscious by the bad guys, and when she woke up, many days had passed, and my brother was no longer in the temple. My sister searched for many years, and finally found him in a place of wind and flowers called Xueyue Pavilion in the capital. Qi Niang recounted all this with tears streaming down her face, looked up at Yeluya with teary eyes, but saw that Yeluya was motionless, his eyes were filled with pain and sadness that could almost swallow people, and he looked at her sadly.
"Zi'an, sister, I'm sorry for you......" Qi Niang was in pain.
Yeluya suddenly laughed, her eyes blinked but two tears blinked, "Sister? Scold...... Why are you telling me this? Four years ago, my sister died. But now you tell me that you are my sister. What kind of reaction do you want me to make? Glad? Surprised? Or is it an abomination? Yeluya stared straight at her, the sadness in her eyes had long since disappeared, and only coldness remained.
Qi Niang slowly let go of him, took a step back, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I know you don't want to see me again, it's good that you hate me, I came today just to see your injuries, since you are safe and sound, then I will rest assured, I will go first." ”
Yeluya stretched out a hand and grabbed her tightly, restrained her emotions, and said in a low voice, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to White Night City, I am a member of Qianjilou, and I should be with them."
Yeluya asked in disbelief, "You want to stop me with Ye Jiu?" ”
"I'm not stopping you, I'm just looking for a chance to survive for you. I can't lose you. ”
"You can't go there, stay with me. I'll ask them to set you up in a tent. Yeluya let go of her hand, closed her eyes, and said, "Let me be alone for a while." ”
When Wei Shaoqing came to Yeluya's tent, he saw that he was drinking sullen wine alone, his eyes were red and swollen, and he seemed to have just shed tears. He snatched the wine glass from Yeluya's hand, and said in a reprimanding tone: "You are not healed, don't drink it!" ”
Yeluya glanced at him, leaning on the couch drunkenly, his eyes were misty, but he spoke very clearly.
"You say, you master, why did you deceive me? My sister didn't die at all, but you lied to me and made me sad for years. You know I love her, but you want to hurt her and want her to die. Why? ”
Wei Shaoqing looked at him for a long time and said: "It's not necessarily a good thing for her to die, but it makes you even more miserable to be alive, you shouldn't have such a deep obsession with her, being a teacher is for your good." ”
"For my own good, you shouldn't save me, I won't have any obsession when I die." Yeluya looked decadent and leaned against the table in despair.
"What do you look like! As the commander of an army, but you give up on yourself for a woman, how can you convince the soldiers in the army by letting yourself go like this? Wei Shaoqing couldn't help but raise his voice.
Yeluya looked at him with a smile, "The master actually wants to be the boss himself to take back White Night City, saving me back then was just to see through my identity as the son of the princess of White Night City, otherwise with my weak body back then, how could the master spend so much effort to teach me martial arts." It's just that my feelings for White Night City are not as deep as those of my master, so to speak, I have never had any feelings. ”
"Do you regret it?"
Yeluya shook his head, and looked directly at Wei Shaoqing with clear eyes, "I don't regret it, I just want to tell the master that I am not fighting for White Night City, I am for my sister, sooner or later, I will be the king of White Night City and give her anything she wants." So master, don't hurt her again, she is more important to me than White Night City. ”
On the wall of White Night City, Ye Jiu looked at the heavy snow in the sky, his brows furrowed. The war has been going on for two months, and the heavy snow has been falling non-stop since the month, and the killers brought by Qianjilou have all been tired because they have never fought in such a cold environment, and those soldiers of the Northern Wilderness who have survived in the cold since they were children have become more and more courageous, setting up ambushes and killing hundreds of their elites. And they seem to have found a way to crack the secret weapon of Qianjilou, according to Ye Sixteen's letter, saying that Qi Niang had come to the Northern Wilderness a few days ago to find Yeluya. Thinking of this way to crack the secret weapon, Qi Niang told Yeluya.
If the snow continues to fall like this, there will be fewer and fewer of them, and White Night City will almost be unable to hold on. And Gong Xiyang was still in Dongwu and could not draw more troops, Ye Jiu was about to ask Bian Che for reinforcements, when he saw a soldier hurriedly coming with a letter.
"What's wrong? Where did the news come from? ”
The soldier showed joy on his face and said: "The news of Dongwu, the battle for the succession, the eldest prince Gong Xihua was defeated, and today the four princes have ascended the throne. ”
Ye Jiu took the letter, read it carefully, and nodded: "That's very good, then the king of Dongwu can mention the matter of White Night City?" Reinforcements available? ”
"No need for reinforcements." At that moment, a deep voice sounded.
Ye Jiu was stunned, and saw a white figure with a cold aura walking quickly, with an elegant posture and a face like cold frost. He hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Landlord." ”
Bian Che said coldly: "I just came from Dongwu, and there is no need to guard the White Night City, abandon the city." ”
"But ......"
"This is what Gong Xiyang meant, he has now won the throne, the army is depleted, the turmoil in the court and China still needs him to be calmed, the White Night City is useless to him, he has just lost a city, and he can take it back in the future." Bian Che looked at him and said, "How many people have we lost?" ”
"Together with the secret guards of the Thousand Machine Tower, less than half of the troops are now, and there are only more than three hundred secret guards left. The other side is good at fighting in the snow, and we have suffered a lot. And our hidden weapons have no effect on them anymore. ”
"Well, got it, hard work. Have you seen Qi Niang? Bian's dark eyes shone with a dark and forbearant light.
"I've never seen her."
Bian Che looked at the endless snow, reached out to hold a snowflake, and slowly closed his eyes, as if saying to himself: "It's time to come back." Then he turned to Ye Jiu and said, "Tomorrow, only some old and weak wounded soldiers who are inconvenient to transfer will be left in the city, and the rest will all evacuate and return to Dongwu as soon as possible." ”
The next day, White Night City was shrouded in a silver costume, and the silver-white snow was covered with corpses, and the bright red blood of the warriors was like a poignant flower blooming on the snow. The first gate was slammed open, and Jereria's iron cavalry stepped into the White Night City. There were only some old and weak soldiers in the city, and Ye Jiu's elite troops had all been evacuated, leaving only an empty city.
Wei Shaoqing immediately told Yeluya to slow down and stare around vigilantly.
"They won't just run away, they're all dying, and it's futile to fight again." The adjutant general beside Yeluya said.
Yeluya glanced around and tightened the reins of his horse, "Go, be careful of an ambush." ”
Qi Niang looked around, and consciously rode in front of Yeluya, in case there was an ambush, she could detect it as soon as possible.
But Jeremiah seemed to see through her thoughts, rode close to her, and said, "You don't have to protect me, even if you don't want to be behind me, stay by my side." ”
"I'm scouting ahead." The lieutenant hurriedly walked to the front.
As soon as the troops reached the second gate, several iron chains suddenly rose from the flat snow, forming a gossip array, trapping them in place.
The horses in front of them ran away in fright, and immediately the chains tied the horses and the men together, and then threw them into the air and fell to their deaths. Countless torches and arrows were fired at them.
"Be careful!" Yeluya exclaimed, and then stood in front of Qi Niang's horse.
A white figure suddenly appeared on the city gate, Yeluya and Qi Niang looked up at the same time, only to see Bian Che looking at them, his eyes were cold, as cold as snow. Then he slowly raised his bow and arrows and aimed them at Yeluya.
"Don't!" Qi Niang hurriedly used her body to protect Yeluya.
Bian Che pursed his lips tightly, the arrow in his hand still hadn't moved half a minute, and then a cold flashed in his dark eyes, and as soon as his hand was released, the arrow was shot out.
However, after this arrow, I only heard the shouts of the soldiers under the city gate: "Military division, military division!" ”
Following the sound, I saw Wei Shaoqing in the carriage looking down at his chest, and there was a dark dart inserted in the armor on his chest, he pulled out the dark dart in a daze, and then loosened his hand, and the black dark dart fell on the snow. His hands instantly seemed to be sucked dry, and he became skinny, and in a few moments, his hair had turned white, and he collapsed heavily on his wheelchair, silent.
Dark Night Narcos!
Qi Niang's heart suddenly popped up with this name, and she suddenly raised her head to look at the city tower, only to see Bian Che move her wrist, her eyes coldly swept over her arm that had been grazed by the arrow just now, and then turned around and left.
