Chapter 157: Triumphant Return to Beijing
Lu Ji shed a lot of blood, and the blood soaked into the ground, staining the sand and stones crimson, which was shocking.
Su Xun rushed in with Su Xian and Su Lou, and was about to exclaim, but was stopped by Su Li's cold shout: "Don't shout, guard here!" ”
After speaking, Su Li tore off her skirt and threw herself to Yue Yan's side: "It's a little painful, bear with it!" After speaking, Su Li picked up Yue Yan and tore off her clothes to reveal the bleeding wound.
Gu Jiong's sword showed no mercy at all, the wound completely penetrated his shoulder, and the flesh and blood were all twisted into a blur, Su Li's pupils trembled, and he grabbed the scabbard on the ground and handed it to Yue Yan's mouth: "Bite it!" ”
Yue Yan obediently bit it, and Su Li untied all the hemostatic powder she carried with her and poured it on Yue Yan's wound.
"Hmm!"
Yue Yan bit the scabbard and snorted, tears and sweat kept rolling down, and his face was pale without a trace of blood.
The blood was still gushing out, and the hemostatic scatter was partially rushed out, Su Li helped her hold it down with her hand, turned her head and shouted at Su Xun: "Give me the hemostasis!" Hu people also have it! ”
Su Xun and Su Lou untied the hemostatic scatter on their bodies and threw it to Su Li, and then rushed into the fight to grab the medicine.
Su Li poured a hemostatic dispersion on Yue Yan's wound again, Yue Yan was so painful that her whole body spasmed, Su Li hurriedly used a strip of cloth to help her wrap the wound: "Sister, don't sleep, hold on a little longer, the general is still waiting for you!" Ah Zhan is waiting for you! And Gu Jiong! ”
Su Li said that her hands were neatly knotted, and the warm blood stained her entire hand red, and her voice trembled violently, she had never been so scared as she was now.
When the strip of cloth was tied, Yue Yan looked up at the tent above his head in distraction, and two hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
Su Li heard her whisper in a low voice: "I will give you back this life after all!" ”
Su Li didn't know who Yue Yan owed for his life, and to whom did he give his life back?
After briefly treating Yue Yan's wounds, she threw herself in front of Lu Ji and cautiously probed his snort.
He was still alive, although his breath was very weak, Su Li's heart was beating fast, and he tried to calm himself: "The general is still alive, sister save him!" ”
When the pain was extreme, he would be numb, Yue Yan turned around and slowly moved in front of Lu Ji.
This knife was stabbed into Lu Ji's body by watching Kutar, Hu Ren is good at dissecting animals, Kutar has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is even better at dissecting people.
The knife hit the left chest and chest, directly through the heart, and the reason why there is still breathing now is that the knife has not been pulled out.
If the knife is straight, there is a glimmer of life when it is pulled out quickly, but this knife is curved, once it is pulled out, I am afraid that the whole heart will be cut in half, and there is no way to return to the sky!
"Sister?"
Su Li urged in a low voice, and Yue Yan came back to his senses and looked at Su Li seriously.
"Ah Li, I can't save him!"
How could it not be saved? How could it not be saved?
Su Li's chest welled up with depression, looking at Yue Yan's pale face full of tears, but she couldn't say those questions.
Yue Yan is no one else, if she had a way to save Lu Ji, she would never say such a thing easily.
So there's really no way?
Su Li had a sharp pain in her chest, and turned her head to look at Lu Ji.
He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep, the heavy responsibility that had been on his shoulders for so many years was finally lifted, and he could go down to Gu Li and tell her carefully about the debts and guilt of so many years.
But what are Ah Zhan and Lao Guogong going to do? What will happen to those who survive?
Su Li couldn't accept this fact as calmly as Yue Yan, even if she had reached a desperate situation, she still had to try her last bit of luck!
Thinking like this, Su Li reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife.
"A-Li!"
Yue Yan called out eagerly, wanting to stop it, but he ...... I don't know how to stop it.
Su Li's hand was shaking, Xu was affected by this tremor, Lu Ji came to his senses, and opened his eyes very slowly to look at Su Li.
His eyes were sloppy, and Su Li's face was not reflected in his pupils, as if he was returning to the light.
Su Li grabbed the handle of the knife, her panicked heart suddenly calmed down, and her hand gradually stabilized.
She said calmly: "Lu Ji, it's me!" ”
Hearing her voice, Lu Ji's eyes tried to widen a little, and finally there was a little light.
"You're very badly injured right now, if you don't draw the knife, maybe you'll be able to stay awake for a while, and once you pull the knife, ......"
You're going to die!
Su Li said in her heart, but when it came to her mouth, the words that came out of her mouth were: "Once you draw the knife, you will die in my hands!" ”
Killing the important ministers of the country should be punished!
This was what Su Li didn't say, but Lu Ji understood her threat.
Lost too much blood, he didn't expect that Su Li's words were full of loopholes, his breathing was heavier, and his chest cavity was a little bigger than the ups and downs just now, along with the scimitar in Su Li's hand.
Su Li heard his extremely weak order: "Let it go...... Hand! ”
"Don't let it go!"
Su Li directly vetoed, and her eyes were red and hot.
"Su Xian, come and help me hold him down!"
Su Li roared, Su Xian quickly ran over and held down Lu Ji, Su Li's palms broke out in cold sweat, she grabbed the handle of the knife hard, took two deep breaths, and Su Li pulled out the knife in her hand violently.
"Hmm!"
With Lu Ji's muffled snort, a hot blood spurted on Su Li's face, and the eyebrows that had not been felt for a long time seemed to be stinged by this blood.
Su Li didn't have time to pay attention, and grabbed a lot of hemostatic and kept pressing on Lu Ji's wound, trying to stop the blood that kept gushing out.
At the same time, some of the Hu people who were fighting inextricably suddenly turned against each other, and those people took off the clothes of the Hu people, and they were actually soldiers brought by Lu Ji who pretended to be mixed in.
Those soldiers were more or less mutilated, which was the old department of the 30,000 northern army guarding the town at the border pass.
They survived the bloody battle a year ago, but their souls have been trapped there and cannot be redeemed, and after returning to Beijing a year ago, Lu Ji begged for a decree to allow them to return to their hometown.
But they didn't leave, and in this big battle, Lu Ji brought them with him again.
Kutar kidnapped the military doctor because he wanted to lead Lu Ji out to fight and avenge Hu Keduo, and Lu Ji led the troops to fight to seek justice for the 30,000 soldiers of Yuanzhao!
In this big battle, none of them thought about going back alive!
Lu Ji brought most of the 2,000 troops to remain, and the Hu people instantly fell into a disadvantage of being unable to resist, and Chu Huai'an and Gu Ji even led people to force Ku Tar and the dozens of guards around him into a desperate situation.
"Don't rob Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu cut off his head and kicked it as a ball! ”
As Chu Huai'an spoke, he crossed over with a shot to stop Gu Jiong, and then pulled out the saber on his waist and stabbed at Kutar.
Gu Zhiren didn't say much, and he didn't pay attention to Chu Huai'an's obstruction, and only concentrated on attacking Kutar.
Chu Huai'an has a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, and the bows left and right are unstoppable, Gu Bing only has a long sword, and he is also sharp and invincible.
Suddenly, Tartar retreated and could not retreat, and attacked Gu Ji with a scimitar.
In fact, what he hates the most in his heart is Gu Jiong, if he hadn't left Gu Ji back then, the battle might not have been lost, and his son would not have died!
He hates Gu Jiong, and Gu Jiong's hatred for him will naturally not be half a point less than him.
After all, Gu Ji lost an eye, and he became unrecognizable now, all thanks to him!
Gu Jiong's sword and Kutar's scimitar collided, and the two were evenly matched, and they suddenly approached, and they both saw the monstrous hatred and murderous aura from the other party's eyes.
"Filthy wild dog!"
Kutar scolded, Gu Wei pursed his lips and didn't speak, his hand shook Kutar away, Kutar took a few steps back, wanting to stabilize Shenxing and fight again, there was a sharp pain in the knee of his right leg, and when he lowered his head, Chu Huaian shot through his right knee.
"My woman, only for me to be widowed!"
Chu Huai'an announced in a cold tone, and with a spear, he picked out the kneecap of the Tartar.
"Ahh
Suddenly the Tartar beast roared, painful and angry, supporting his body with his left leg and resisting, Gu Ji stabbed his left eye with a sword, and he didn't pierce the skull with great skill, and gently picked out the eyeballs.
"Ahhh
Losing his left leg and right eye, he fell to his knees like a trapped beast, waving the scimitar in his hand, but he couldn't hurt others.
Chu Huai'an wanted to take advantage of the situation to make up a sword and kill him directly, but was stopped by Gu Jiong.
"Gu Jiong, you're going to die!"
Chu Huai'an scolded, Gu Zhi didn't move in front of Chu Huai'an, and spit out lightly: "I'm going to make him a man!" ”
“……”
Gu Jiong's eyes were extremely cold, like a frenzied perverted demon, and Chu Huai'an, who knew him very well, couldn't help but feel a chill in his back for a moment.
Chu Huai'an didn't move, Gu Wei turned his head, and picked up his sword to cut off the hands and feet of Hu Tartar like a radish.
"! Sick! ”
Chu Huai'an scolded, no longer cared about Gu Jiong, reflexively killed all the way back, and saw Su Xun and Su Lou from a distance take something from the dead body of the Hu people and run into a camp tent.
Chu Huai'an opened the curtain and walked in, Su Li sat on the ground and looked up at him.
Her face was covered with blood, and she didn't know how long she had been crying, tears rushed out one after another on her face, and her eyes were dazed and helpless.
His heart suddenly ached, and he subconsciously threw his sword and stretched out his hand towards Su Li.
As if there was some traction in the dark, Su Li got up from the ground and stumbled into her arms with a body of blood.
He had just killed a lot of people, and the blood on his body had never cooled, and he was no better than her, but when he hugged her into his arms, he felt that the killing was worth it.
On that night five years ago, the regret of letting her run and flee alone was suddenly made up for at this moment and became complete.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Chu Huai'an heard himself say this.
Said it to Su Li in her arms, and also to her in the past so many years, when she was helpless but had no one to rely on.
Su Li was in a cold sweat, her body was soft, and she didn't fall down because of Chu Huai'an's support.
She was scared, like she had done when she first killed someone.
"Chu Huai'an, I did my best!"
She leaned on Chu Huai'an's cold and hard armor and whispered, I don't know if the smell of blood was too strong, or if she was too scared, she was a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"You've done your best, and I don't blame you."
Chu Huai'an replied, his voice seemed to come from a distant void, and it was so gentle that it was not like words.
"Will Lu Ji survive?"
"I don't know."
"What if he's dead?"
"Bury it here." Chu Huaian said calmly, and added another sentence in order not to look too cold and ruthless: "The weather is too hot, and the corpse will stink when transported back to Beijing." ”
"Oh."
Su Li replied lazily, she was so tired that even her mind turned into a pulp, and at the last moment when her consciousness fell into a coma, she heard Chu Huai'an's gentle voice say, "It's okay, go to sleep." So she slept peacefully.
The remnants of the Hu people were quickly annihilated, and everyone was silent and methodically cleaned up the battlefield and settled the casualties.
No one cheered at the annihilation of the enemy, it was just a bloody battle.
Everyone was very tired, and Chu Huai'an ordered everyone to repair here for the night, and then set off back to the city the next day.
The soldiers lined up to go to the lake to fill their water bags, and by the way, they simply cleaned them with water.
Lu Ji's wound didn't bleed, I don't know if it was blood or what, but he still had a breath, although the breath was very weak, Chu Huaian didn't let people bury him on the spot.
After everyone cleaned up, it was almost dawn, and Chu Huaian came to the lake with Su Li in his arms.
Su Li was so tired that she slept soundly and never woke up.
Chu Huai'an took off his helmet, filled it with water, and untied his sweat towel to help Su Li wipe off the blood on his face.
The night breeze was gentle, bringing a comfortable and comfortable coolness, and it was not until this moment that Chu Huai'an felt a little real.
Kutar died, they won this battle, and Yuanzhao's territory expanded, and he would become the first power among all the nations.
Maybe there will be no more wars in Yuanzhao for decades, he will be able to take Su Li back to Beijing immediately, marry her as his wife, she will give birth to children for him, and they will spend this life in love.
Thinking of those bright futures, Chu Huaian patiently helped Su Li wipe her face clean.
The moonlight at the border seemed to be much brighter than in Kyoto, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that the scar on Su Li's face was smaller, not as eye-catching as before.
But with or without that scar, she is the best in her heart.
The Adam's apple rolled a little, Chu Huaian lowered his head and kissed Su Li's lips, tasting it carefully, enjoying the tranquility after the ordeal.
Kissing and kissing, the body became hot and tense, and Chu Huaian had to stop and touch Su Li's forehead to calm his emotions.
Chu Huai'an gasped heavily, and suddenly felt that something seemed to squirm in the center of his eyebrows.
Chu Huai'an straightened up suddenly, under the moonlight, Su Li was still asleep, and there was a red mark on his eyebrows, he remembered that Su Li had said before that it was the wizard of the Hu people who ordered it here before.
Chu Huai'an was shocked, first touched his forehead, and then touched Su Li's eyebrows.
The skin there is delicate and smooth, and there is nothing.
Are you too nervous?
Chu Huai'an was puzzled, and repeatedly made sure that there was nothing abnormal on Su Li's face, so he took off his armor and cleaned it briefly before carrying Su Li back.
It was very early in the morning in Saibei, Chu Huai'an almost didn't sleep, and let the corpses be disposed of early in the morning, the corpses of the Hu people were directly reduced, and the corpses of the Yuanzhao soldiers were dug and buried.
There is no wine here, Chu Huai'an can only use lake water instead, please rest in peace for the dead.
Su Li was awakened by the long sound of a horn, a special chant for the undead in the army.
Su Li sat for a while, then remembered Lu Ji, suddenly sobered up, jumped up and wanted to find someone, but saw Lu Ji lying on the wooden board a few steps away from her, the blood on her body was simply wiped away, her chest was embarrassed, and she still maintained the state of indiscriminately applying hemostatic medicine after she pulled out the knife last night.
His chest couldn't see the ups and downs, and Su Li hesitated for a moment and walked over to him and sniffed.
Alive.
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It stands to reason that after so much blood and so many serious injuries, even if Lu Ji returns to the light, this time is too long.
So you survived, right?
Su Li thought in her heart, and unconsciously touched her eyebrows with her hand, yesterday's situation was too chaotic, she didn't have time to take care of herself, now that she thinks about it, when Lu Ji's blood splashed on her face, her eyebrows were indeed hot and hot, and it was not her delusion.
Could it really be that there is a flower seed of the mysterious family here? Will it suck her flesh and blossom too?
Su Li thought about it, Yue Yan took Su Xun in from outside, Su Xun was holding a lump of green herbs in his hand, Yue Yan should have taken him around early in the morning to pick them.
"Be careful, just put it around the wound."
Yue Yan whispered to Su Xun, obviously feeling that Lu Ji's current situation had taken a turn for the better.
"How? Will the general get better? ”
Su Li asked urgently, although Yue Yan hit her, he didn't want to give her illusory hope, and shook his head solemnly: "I don't know why this happens, but the general's breath is still very weak, I don't know when it will be cut off, all I can do is to keep his breath as much as possible." ”
It's just breathing, and whether you can wake up or not is another story.
Even with such an answer, Su Li already felt very satisfied, it was better than being away.
Until noon, the army was officially launched, and Chu Huai'an specially ordered someone to make a stretcher to carry Lu Ji up, and Yue Yan's situation was not very good, so he also carried it on a stretcher.
Gu Ji didn't know where to put Kutar, and when the army completely walked out of this basin, he suddenly blended into the army again, separated by three or four people, following behind Yue Yan.
It was fortunate to go back that there was no storm, and it took four days for everyone to reach the border safely.
Lu Ji's breath has never been broken, and after entering Cheng, Yue Yan asked people to grab medicine to heal himself and Lu Ji.
Chu Huai'an asked people to hurry back to Beijing to spread the good news, and also mentioned the fact that Lu Ji was seriously injured.
A month later, the holy decree summoning them back to Beijing arrived at the border pass.
Chu Huai'an ordered his troops and prepared to return to Beijing, when Lu Ji was still asleep, but his pulse was much stronger than before.
In order to take care of Lu Ji and Yue Yan's injuries, they walked very slowly all the way back to Beijing.
Chu Huai'an hired three carriages, Lu Ji and Yue Yan occupied one, and Chu Huai'an and Su Li occupied one.
After the battle is over, this person's true nature is exposed, and he likes to press Su Li like this and that when he has nothing to do, although he didn't make the last step, he almost took advantage of it.
Now he has an extra fetish, and he likes to kiss Su Li's eyebrows when he has nothing to do.
Su Li was originally a little worried because of the red mark on her eyebrows, but she couldn't care about anything when he kissed her.
Three months later, in the beginning of autumn, the team arrived in Longxi County, and the newly appointed county commander had already led the people of a county to welcome them outside the city gate.
The momentum was very huge, Chu Huaian reprimanded the county order with a straight face, and asked him not to be extravagant and wasteful, the county order should be repeated, and said that this was a secret order issued by His Majesty personally, and it was not that he was making an assertion, so Chu Huaian was speechless.
That night, I stopped at the post station in the county, and the palace sent someone to send clothes specially made by the Internal Affairs Bureau.
The clothes are gorgeous, with good silk satin tailoring, just the solid color of the fabric is gorgeous and abnormal, plus the exquisite embroidery is a must, wearing on the body is already a strong show of the saint.
I don't know if Chu Huai'an asked people to send secret reports to Beijing to make a request, Su Li's clothes are plain azure, contrasting with Chu Huai'an, the pattern on Su Li's clothes is a fairy-like woman, and the pattern on Chu Huai'an's body is a bright moon and a jade tree.
Just looking at the clothes of the two people is nothing special, if you walk in one place, you can find that the clothes of the two of them together are a complete pattern, Chang'e running to the moon.
The moon was on him, and Su Li was going to run towards him.
Burning incense and bathing, as soon as she put on that clothes and walked out, Su Li knew that this person was deliberate, ashamed and annoyed, but she couldn't do anything about this person.
Xu knew that it was not good for him to be careful like this, so Chu Huai'an first asked Su Xun to buy incense candles and prepare to incense Su Zhaoyue and Qi Niang.
Because she wanted to offer incense, Su Li had no intention of settling accounts, and took a carriage with Chu Huai'an to make incense.
More than a year later, the place was no longer a mass grave, it was fenced off with stone fences, planted with pines and cypresses, the ground was built with green bricks, and the wooden monument became a tombstone made of marble.
The handwriting on the stele is vigorous, as if Chu Huai'an carved it himself.
In addition to Qi Niang and Su Zhaoyue, there is also a tombstone called White Peony, and the lower right side of the tombstone reads: Good son-in-law is respectful.
"You know she's my mother?"
Su Li asked softly, squatting in front of the white peony monument and lighting incense candles, burning paper money little by little.
The people in Baihuayuan died tragically, all of them were burned to charred corpses, and on the day of her burial, Su Li failed to recognize her from the pile of charred corpses, and now there is no way to know her face.
There is only her name on this monument, or her stage name when she was in Baihuayuan, and I don't know if she can really receive the usual offerings, so thinking about it, after all, Su Li is not filial.
Chu Huai'an squatted down beside her, grabbed her hand and incense with her.
"Since she gave birth to you, no matter what identity she is, I should also recognize her as a mother-in-law."
Yes, no matter what her identity is, Su Li also wants to recognize her as a mother.
Su Xun, Su Xian and Su Lou have matured a lot, and now standing in front of Qi Niang's tomb, they also know how to forbear and restraint, and they have picked good things to say to Qi Niang.
Su Li and Chu Huai'an worshiped the white peony together, and finally came to Su Zhaoyue's tomb.
The words on Su Zhaoyue's tombstone are different from the other two, the pen is much gentler at first glance, at first glance it looks a bit like Gu Yuanfeng's handwriting, but after a closer look, it is not as lonely and cold as Gu Yuanfeng, Su Li was surprised: "Who wrote this?" ”
"Xiao Xizi wrote it."
Xiao Xizi? Which little Heezi?
Su Li subconsciously wanted to ask, but the words stopped abruptly when she came to her mouth, and she remembered Chu Lingxi, the king of Huaiyang.
In what capacity did he write an epitaph for his second sister?
Su Li pursed her lips, and her eyes fell on the sentence in the corner of the tombstone: The tomb of my love.
I love ......
It turns out that there is still a relationship between the second sister and the king of Huaiyang? So why didn't it work out?
Su Li wanted to ask, but felt that there was no way to ask, so it was better to let the past go with the wind.
When the memorial was almost over, the post station sent an official to hurriedly report that Lu Ji had woken up, Su Li was overjoyed, and Chu Huai'an rushed back to the post station.
Stepping into the gate of the post station, I saw Lu Ji standing tall at a glance, standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, the autumn wind blowing, he stood upright, as if he was loose and could not be bent.
Checkmate!
Su Li called a sentence in his heart, he seemed to feel something, turned around, his face was cold, and he bowed politely: "Master Hou!" ”
Then his eyes fell on Su Li, a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and then he said hello softly: "Girl!" ”
He called her a girl, as if he had seen her for the first time in the vast sea of people, and all the fetters disappeared.
