Gong Wan saluted the prince's friend and said firmly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, please evacuate immediately, I will immediately demolish the embankment!" ”

The prince said, "Okay...... Okay, Lord Gonghui should be careful, I ...... We're waiting for the princess in front. ”

"Don't wait, please let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince flee immediately."

"That'...... Oh well......"

"Humph!" Bo Yao shook his hand and helped the prince to leave, he gave him a blank look, "It should have been like this a long time ago!" ”

Gong Wan ignored Bo Yao, but saluted the prince again: "His Royal Highness the prince, take care! ”

After the prince and the others evacuated, Gong Wanran said to the Praetorian Guards: "Brothers! Chisel the crowbar into the embankment! ”

Wu Chang was puzzled, "My lord, are we going to drown the people?!" ”

"No, brothers, please stick with me until the last moment!"

"Whoa!"

A dozen Praetorian Guards worked together to insert a large crowbar into the core of the embankment. At this point, the entire embankment can be destroyed with just a strong prying.

After the preparations were completed, Gong Wan pointed to the fleeing people and said to the commander: "I will lead my brothers to stop the Yue cavalry, you hold the crowbar on the embankment, and once all the people have evacuated, immediately tear down the embankment!" ”

Wu Chang hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "Lord Gonghui! Please let me lead my brothers to stop the cavalry! ”

Gong Wanran shook his head and said with relief: "It's better for me to go, only I can stop the cavalry now." ”

"Lord Gonghui!"

Wu Chang just wanted to say something more, but Gong Wanran waved his hand and ordered in a low voice: "Go ahead." Remember! No matter what happens in a moment, as long as all the people evacuate, the levees must be destroyed! Certain! ”

Wu Chang looked up at Gong Wanran, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said loudly: "Oh! ”

Gong Wanran led more than a dozen Praetorian Guards to the end of the team, and at this time, most of the people had been evacuated smoothly, and only one or two thousand people were still desperately fleeing upstream.

Gong Wan turned to look at the embankment, only to see Wu Chang holding the crowbar tightly with one hand, and urging the people below with the other.

At this time, Ji Zheng led the cavalry to chase forward, and more than a dozen Praetorian Guards drew their swords majestically, although they knew that they were powerless to resist the impact of the cavalry, they still lined up in a line of defense and stood in front of the cavalry.

The cavalry rushed to kill, the horses galloped, and the ground shook. The cavalry's charge could kill all these dozen people in an instant, but just when the short soldiers met, they heard the sound of "call", and a hundred cavalry suddenly stopped.

In the slowly falling dust, Ji Zheng turned over and dismounted, slowly walked in front of Gong Huiran, and saluted: "Senior Brother Gong Hui." ”

Gong Hui returned the salute, "Senior Brother Ji." ”

Ji Zheng raised his head and looked behind Gong Wanran, where a thick crowbar was inserted in the core of the embankment, and the cracks around the crowbar were densely packed, and countless trickles were squeezed out of the broken holes of different sizes.

Ji Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Senior brother, please get out of the way, I don't want to hurt senior brother." ”

Gong Wanran smiled and shook his head, "Senior brother, it is your duty to pursue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is also my inevitable mission to stick to it until the last moment." ”

Ji Zheng lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, get out of the way." ”

Gong Wan ran didn't answer, he turned around and saw that hundreds of people were still evacuating under the embankment, "No, I have to stop you." ”

Ji Zheng turned his head and glanced at Qingmen. Qingmen got the order, pulled out his double knives and walked towards Gong Huiran. Seeing this, the Praetorian Guards immediately stepped forward and protected Gong Wanran behind them.

I saw Qingmen's double swords raised, and in the blink of an eye, he flashed to him, and a Praetorian Guard was about to stab forward, but when he saw a flash of cold light, he was already the first two segments of his body.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of sword light, and more than a dozen Praetorian Guards were killed by Qingmen in an instant. Blood fell from the twin knives, and Qingmen was also covered in blood, he looked at the isolated and helpless Gongran, bowed respectfully, and stepped aside.

Ji Zheng stepped forward slowly, pulled out the Chongli sword at his waist with a snort, and whispered, "Get out of the way." ”

Gong Wanran looked back at the embankment again, and at this time, the people had all withdrawn from Tanguan.

A relieved smile appeared on Gong Wanran's face, "Senior Brother Ji, no matter what, I won't let you go." ”

"Okay."

Ji Zheng nodded, and walked towards Gong Wanran.

A pale light pierced through Gong Wanran's chest, and then Chongli Sword drew blood, pouring hot blood on the dusty earth.

Douda's cold sweat oozed from Gong Wanran's forehead, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and soon his feet were weak, and he lost his strength and fell to the ground.

Ji Zheng took the Chongli sword back into its scabbard, silently turned around, grabbed the reins and turned over on the horse. He waved his horsewhip and pointed at the chief of the embankment and shouted: "Lord Gonghui is seriously injured and needs urgent medical attention, if you destroy the embankment at this time and the water rushes down, he will definitely die." ”

Gong Wan turned to look at the embankment with difficulty, he wanted to tell the captain to destroy the embankment immediately, but the severe pain of the chest wound made it impossible for him to cry out, he could only wave his hand vigorously to the commander of the wood, signaling him to pull the crowbar now.

Wu Chang clenched the crowbar with both hands, knelt on the ground and cried, unable to bear to destroy the embankment.

While Wu Chang was hesitating, Ji Zheng seized the opportunity to whip forward, but at this moment, a short sword flew towards Ji Zheng's back heart like lightning. said that it was too late, it was fast, Qingmen immediately drew his sword to block, only to hear the sound of "clang", and the short sword fell to the ground in response.

"Ji Zheng! I'll kill you! Xiao Zhi roared angrily, and rushed with his sword in hand.

Qingmen immediately went to the top, and the two immediately clashed, but in just one round, Qingmen grabbed the flaw, slashed Xiao Se's right arm, and then knocked Xiao Se off the horse.

Xiao Shi fell heavily to the ground and rolled a few times before barely stopping.

Ji Zheng no longer paid attention to Xiao Shi and Gong Huiran, and gave the order to move forward, so the cavalry raised their whips one after another and rushed towards the nearby embankment.

"Senior brother, senior brother......" Xiao Shi raised his head in a daze, looking at Gong Wanran, who was not far away, he wanted to support himself with his left hand, but found that his left arm had been broken.

He struggled to prop himself up on his elbows and staggered towards Gong Wanran, but just after taking two steps, he fell heavily to the ground. Xiao Shi got up again and moved to Gong Huiran's side step by step. Gong Wanran's wound was bleeding water, Xiao Xi's eyes were full of tears, he knelt on the ground, trying to help Gong Wanran up, but his injured arms were difficult to exert his strength.

Gong Wanran gently grabbed Xiao Xi's arm, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he smiled with difficulty, "Yun Qing......"

"Senior brother, come on, I'll bandage you." Xiao Shi endured the sharp pain in his arm and tore the clothes from Gong Yanran's wound.

Gong Wanran lightly ** Xiao Shi's head, and smiled hard, "It's okay, senior brother is fine." Yun Qing, you go quickly, Da Shui ...... It's about to rush down. ”

"Nope! I must not leave my brother behind! ”

At this time, the last cry of the Wu Commander came from the embankment, "Lord Gonghui! Take care! ”

Seeing that Wu Chang had already been hit by several arrows, he used his last strength to pull the crowbar with all his might.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar shook the heavens and the earth, and the embankment collapsed in an instant, and the water mixed with rubble came all over the world. Ji Zheng and the cavalry were rushed to pieces, and the people turned over on their backs.

Gong Huiran and Xiao Shi were also swept into the turbulent water, Xiao Shi ignored the severe pain in his arms and hugged Gong Huiran. The churning whirlpool raged wildly, sparing no effort to bite and beat.

"Senior brother! Brother! ”

Xiao Shi struggled and screamed, but Gong Wanran's eyes were closed, he was already unconscious, he tried his best to lift Gong Wanran out of the water, he choked on a big mouthful of water, he coughed up the water, and then immediately took a deep breath, and kicked the ground tightly under his feet, trying to stabilize his body, but his weak strength could not compete with the surging tide at all.

The flood rushed in, and he and Gong Hui Ran were scattered at once, he desperately swam to Gong Hui Ran, and desperately grabbed Gong Hui Ran with his broken left hand, and he pulled out the waist bundle with his right hand, and tied himself tightly with Gong Hui Ran's arm.

At this time, another huge wave hit and smashed the two of them on the boulder, Xiao Se's forehead hit the stone, and immediately the blood flowed. This collision caused Xiao Shi to fall into a short coma, and in his chaotic thoughts, he recalled the picture of playing in the stream with Gong Wanran as a child.

How carefree, how happy it was. He once wanted to never grow up, to stay in the happiest time forever, but time is so cruel, how can he ever be merciful to anyone?

The white horse passed by, and the years of patrolling were fleeting, and the two seven or eight-year-old boys were already in their thirties.

What was once carefree has become the pursuit of fame and fortune, and even the exhaustion of the country.

What was once happy and happy has become a helplessness of being forced to gather less and leave more, and even turn against each other.

But what's the point of all this?!

Fame and fortune are just passing clouds, what does the country have to do with themselves? !

He really wants to stay by his brother's side all the time, as long as he can be with his senior brother and let others fight and hate, what reason do he have to get involved?!

Stupidity!

How stupid!

What a fool yourself!

Looking back on the more than ten years since I left the school, every day is meaningless! No value! If he could go back in time, he would be willing to give up everything!

Xiao Shi suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful force suddenly erupted in his body, he swam towards the waterfront despite the pain of torn flesh and bone on his arm, although the water was still turbulent, he was fearless, because on the water's edge, he saw the hope of a new life.

Xiao Se suddenly grabbed a tree trunk on the shore, roared as hard as he could, desperately dragging himself and Gong Hui Ran upward, and finally, he pulled Gong Hui Ran out of the current.

Xiao Shi put his hand on Gong Wanran's nose, where there was no longer breathing, he hurriedly pounced on Gong Wanran's body, and pressed Gong Wanran's chest hard, but as soon as he pressed it, the wound was bleeding, Xiao Shi was distressed, hurriedly covered the wound, and patted Gong Yanran's cheek.

"Senior brother! Wake up! Wake up! ”

Gong Wan did not respond, and there was not a trace of blood on his pale face.

Xiao Shi panicked, and hurriedly pinched Gong Huiran's acupoint, he couldn't care about the wound, and pressed his chest hard, again and again, but Gong Huiran still didn't wake up, and his palm could no longer feel Gong Huiran's heartbeat.

"Senior brother! Wake up, I beg you, wake up! ”

The drops of water fell from Xiao Xi's cheeks, and he couldn't tell whether it was river water or tears, he held Gong Wanran in his arms, trying to warm Gong Wanran's cold and stiff body with his chest, he caressed Gong Wanran's face, and there were countless words he wanted to say to his senior brother.

"Senior brother, senior brother. You wake up, wake up or not, I will listen to you in the future, as long as you say, I will listen! ”

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do...... Really, I listen to your ......."

"Since I was a child, only my senior brother was really good to me. I remember that time, the autumn night of Yuanling Mountain was particularly cold, the two of us sat on the edge of the hanging wall, and you played the song "Zhuolu", at that time I didn't understand why this song was so sad, but now I understand, really understand. ”

"People say I'm a small and dirty bug, but it's only in my brother's eyes that I become a beautiful firefly. That night, the fireflies in the sky were flying and lingering. Brother, do you know that it was the best and happiest time of my life. ”

"If I can go back to that time, I am willing to pay any price!"

"God, if you want to punish me, why don't you kill me?! Why! Why! ”

"Woo...... Let my brother wake up! Wake up! As long as I can wake up my brother, I can do anything......"

"Senior Brother......

"Senior Brother......

The tumbling river still flows, never stopping for anyone. It's like the passage of time, eternal and endless. However, human life is limited, people in a short journey, seeking, exploring, pursuing the answer to life, when the flame of life is extinguished, people will bury the answer of their life into the vast soil, looking forward to the growth of new hope in this boundless land.

Some people's answer is fame and fortune, and some people's answer is the country's world; Some people finally take revenge, and some people enjoy family fun.

Perhaps, there is no right or wrong answer to life, and some are only the search for meaning.

Tears were like sharp blades, slashing Xiao Shi's heart one by one, he had never felt such intense heartache.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and he had been holding Gong Wanran motionless for a whole hour, he didn't know where to go, and he didn't even know if the morning sun would rise again tomorrow.

"Senior brother." Xiao Shi had a wry smile on his face, "Where should I go?" You didn't say a word to me at all. ”

At this time, he suddenly thought that when he left Yuanling Mountain, his master had given him a gift.

When you have nothing to ask for, you can open it.

yes, isn't that now?

When my brother is gone, what should I pursue?

Revenge? Kill Ji Zheng?

But what's the point, no matter what you do, you can't get back your brother's life.

Forget it, let's see how Master teaches.

Xiao Shi took out the soaked bag from his arms and bit off the stitches on it with his teeth.

He was about to unveil the bag, but there was no wave in his heart, he gently pinched the edge of the bag and slowly opened it.

I saw that there was only one word written on the bag - "life".

The remnant sun was like blood, and in the dark red sun, Xiao Shi picked up his back and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Ji Zheng and many cavalry were washed downstream by the flood, although there was no damage, but the current destroyed the road of pursuit, Ji Zheng had no choice but to lead Qingmen and others to temporarily retreat to Gusu City.

Zhang Xun fought fiercely for a long time, and finally was outnumbered and unable to resist. When he saw that Tanguan was destroyed, he led the remnants of his defeated army and fled to the west. Since then, Zhang Xun has been trying to find out the whereabouts of Gong Huiran, but there has been no news.

Although Prince You, Bo Ya and others escaped for a while, the Yue people refused to give up, and then, the Yue people bypassed Tanguan to block all the main roads in the north and continued to search for Prince You.

Prince You and Bo Ya can only hide in the countryside, once, a search team of the Yue Kingdom found the Prince You, fortunately, there are still a few strong martial arts people around the Prince You, after a fight, the Yue Country team was completely annihilated. In order to avoid being discovered by the Yue people, Prince You and others changed into the clothes of the Yue people and continued to hide in the countryside and the Middle East.

Everyone came to an abandoned village, and settled here, relying on the costumes of the Yue people, the prince and others evaded the search of the Yue people several times.

Nearly a month had passed, and one night the prince was resting in a grass hut when he suddenly heard a commotion outside and a restless horse's hooves. This voice was very different from the previous searches, and the nervous prince hurriedly woke up Bo Yao and the others, preparing to escape from the deserted village.

The crowd hurried to flee in the night, but they were discovered before they had escaped a few steps, and the brigade immediately pursued them. Just in despair, Prince You actually saw the fluttering "Wu" flag in the firelight.

The prince was immediately excited, and he shouted to the team: "It's me!" I am the prince of Wu! ”

However, as soon as the words fell, a sharp arrow shot straight into the heart of the prince's friend, only to hear a snort, the sharp arrow went straight into the heart, and the prince's friend shook a few steps, and then fell straight backwards to the ground.

It turned out that the army of Wu led by King Wu finally arrived in the north of Gusu after a month's long journey, and this group of men and horses was the vanguard of the army. When they saw Prince You and others crossing the national military uniform, they thought it was the reconnaissance team of the Yue people, so they were angry and shot them with arrows without saying anything, but what they didn't expect was that the first arrow buried Prince You's life.

When King Wu heard the news, he only saw the cold and stiff corpse of Prince You.

King Wu was so grieved and indignant that he immediately gathered his troops and launched an attack on the city of Gusu overnight, but the army had already been exhausted after a long journey, and this round of attack was easily broken up by the Yue defenders in the city.

The next day, King Wu again organized a siege, but it was still ineffective.

After several times, the Wu army suffered heavy losses, and the king of Wu knew that he would bring about his own destruction if he continued to attack, so he ordered Bo Yao to rush to Huiji City with a large amount of property to sue for peace with the king of Yue.

After discussing with Fan Li, King Yue believed that it would not be possible to completely destroy the state of Wu in a short period of time, so he agreed to Bo Yao's request, and ordered Ji Zheng to evacuate Gusu.

After this battle, the national strength of Wu, which had just become the overlord of China, was greatly injured, plummeted, and could no longer recover. King Yue tore up the subsidiary treaty he had concluded with Wu ten years earlier and officially declared war on Wu. Since then, the country of Yue has become a blockbuster, and the princes of the world have no one who dares to underestimate them.
