Chapter 111: Zhongli City
I can't die, I have to live.
Firefly is eighteen, I'm going back to marry her.
When Yu Lie held the iron sword high and flew above Zhongli Honghu's head, there was only one thought in his heart, what hero, what world, and what ambition and hegemony had nothing to do with him at this time, he just wanted to pierce the person in front of him with a sword, because this person blocked his way back to see the great doctor Wei. Perhaps, some people will laugh at him for not being able to measure himself, and perhaps, some people will feel incredible because of this.
Many years later, when Xuanyuan King Ji Lie sat on the Nine Dragons royal bed, shrugged his shoulders, holding a green jade seed in a daze, the historians who wrote the "Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Zhongzhou" were very troubled, because they did not know how to write about the actions of King Xuanyuan in Zhongli City, which was undoubtedly extremely stupid, even if he could kill Zhongli Honghu, it would be difficult to retreat with his whole body, and it would arouse the anger of Zhongli. However, how could the wise and wise King Xuanyuan make a mistake? So, the great historian Xue Wudao went to visit the right doctor Xingluo with a bamboo slip, and came to the conclusion that King Xuanyuan was a messenger of the gods and had the ability to predict the future, and he had already expected that someone would come out to stop all this from happening. Well, that's just the way it is.
Yu Lie flew high in the sky.
Great firebirds rampage through the city walls.
Everyone watched in amazement, the slave lord's figure stretched into a strange posture in mid-air, like a flying bird and a half-bent longbow, he held the hilt of the sword in both hands, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the heart of Zhongli Honghu's head.
Zhongli Honghu obviously didn't expect Yu Lie to dare to break alone with a sword, he stayed for a moment, and when he reacted, it was too late, the heart of his head was already cold and seeping, and the shadow of death shrouded him, he couldn't help but regret why he didn't wear an iron helmet, however, death had come, and he couldn't think about it, he desperately moved his body that didn't obey the call, and narrowly avoided the top of his head, but was pierced in the right shoulder by the jagged iron sword, and the huge force rushed from behind, and the iron sword came out of his chest, he couldn't stand on his feet, and fell to the ground suddenly, Yu Lie nailed him to the city wall and rode on his back, and at this moment the slave lord's eyes were red as blood, and his hideous face was like a devil out of hell.
"Oh my God......"
The white-clothed man stood on the dirt slope with the help of the old man, and the cold wind ripped the hem of his clothes, but he looked at the city wall in great shock, and from his point of view, he could just see the blood-red eyes of the slave lord, and the eyes of the cruelty to the extreme.
"This, this, this ......"
The old man woke up in the arms of the man in white, his wrinkled face was full of horror, his chapped lips trembling, and he couldn't speak. And farther away, someone just got out of the carriage, happened to see this scene, that person was wearing a brocade robe, and there was deep exhaustion and disgust on his elegant face, when he saw Yu Lie flying in the sky with an iron sword high, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curved, and he couldn't help but murmur: "The sky really has eyes, you are still alive." ”
"And, and ......" Zhongli Hongfu, who was ten steps away from Yu Lie, had already pulled out the short sword hidden in his sleeve, he trembled, and wanted to rush over, but he didn't dare, perhaps, he didn't know who to help.
At this moment, time and space condensed, the sky and the earth seemed to be imprisoned, and both the people on the city wall and the people under the city wall opened their mouths wide and could not move. Except for one person, that is Yu Lie.
"Wait, be merciful!!"
Just as the slave lord violently pulled out the iron sword, pulled out a stream of blood, and was about to chop off Zhongli Honghu's head with a sword, someone finally broke free from the shackles brought by extreme fear, and a long halberd reached over, holding Yu Lie's sword, the sword and the halberd intersected, pulling out a spark, and the "zilazila" sounded non-stop. At the same time, a black-armored knight rode up the city wall, and the horizontal sword picked off the armorer's halberd, and sealed Yu Lie's sword with a sword.
"Second brother, don't kill him!" Lai Qi was wearing the iron armor of the Yan State system, wearing an iron helmet on his head, and a pair of dark eyes were revealed in the helmet.
These eyes were extremely familiar, and the slave lord looked at him suspiciously with blood-colored eyes: "Yan, Yan Wu?" ”
"It's me!"
The person who came was Yan Wu, he rolled off his horse, rushed to Yu Lie's side, pulled Yu Lie up, and then desperately hugged the shoulder of the slave lord. Yan Wu hugged him so tightly that Yu Lie was almost out of breath.
"With my Yan Wu here, no one can hurt my second brother!"
The armor soldiers surrounded him, and Yan Wu stood upright in front of Yu Lie, with the long sword in his hand, and looked proudly at the group of Zhongli City guards who were holding arrows and halberds. The great firebird was moving in the sky, and it was forced away from the city wall by the wolf's fangs and arrows.
"Stop, stop. No, don't be presumptuous! Zhongli Honghu, who was lying on the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood and shouted with bloody teeth.
……
Zhongli Honghu did not die, he was only pierced in the right shoulder by Yu Lie's sword, and when he learned that the messenger from Longshan turned out to be Yan Wu, Zhongli Honghu, who was seriously injured, chose to remain silent, and silence is sometimes a kind of secret promise. In the name of being seriously injured, he temporarily handed over the affairs of Zhongli City to his clan brother Zhongli Hongfu.
When Zhongli Hongfu came out of the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him, through the overlapping houses, he seemed to see a smile on the corner of the mouth of the clan brother lying on the bed, it stands to reason that the clan brother should have a grudge, why is there still a hidden smile? Could it be that he had long known that the messenger from Longshan was Yan Wu, and the reason why he provoked Yu Lie was that he was waiting for Wu Yan to come out by himself?
If this is the case, then everything can be explained, in this way, not only can there be an explanation for Yan Zhiyun, but it will not make the Longshan Yan clan hold a grudge, and it is also possible to cage the Longshan Yan clan for Yan Zhiyun. Alas, Zhongli is in the middle of a crack, and he has great ambitions, he really has to take every step of the way, and even needs to risk himself, and he can't make a mistake. It seems that the clan brother is not a reckless person, and he must not be underestimated!
The long street was empty, and Zhongli Hongfu was stunned on the street for a while, then turned around and boarded the carriage and headed towards the east of the city. A new temporary military camp was set up in the east of the city, and the Tiger of Yanjing and his subordinates repaired there for a while, and when the day came, they would leave Zhongli City, whether it was to Yanjing or Longshan, it had nothing to do with Zhongli's family, and it had nothing to do with him Zhongli Hongfu, and the order he received was only to protect Yu Lie and prevent Yu Lie from dying under Zhongli City. For this reason, he had made the worst plan, that is, to assassinate his own brother and create chaos, maybe Yu Lie would escape because of this, as for himself, as a scholar, the death of a scholar as a confidant is justified.
The carriage walked through the bustling crowd, the wheels of the car 'creaked, creaked', and Zhongli Hongfu, who was sitting in the car, also shook with the body, he thought, what was she thinking about the proud girl of the sky? She wanted to save Yu Lie, but she didn't let Yu Lie know that this was the mentality of a child, such a big man actually had this feeling? She is the most beautiful woman in the world with grace and dignity, the world needs to look up to her, but she can't even see her toes, and she doesn't know that Yu Lie's reckless husband is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and she is favored by her!
However, then again, could it be that she also expected Yan Wu to come? Otherwise, if that stupid Yanjing Tiger really went to Yanjing City to throw himself into the net, wouldn't all his scheming be in vain? Is there really an uncertain prophet in the world? Or is it that the contest between the big guys is often separated by thousands of mountains and rivers? And what about the little people? A chess piece? If Yu Lie is a chess piece, then why shouldn't I Zhongli Hongfu? In a world of great controversy, who is not a chess piece? You give it to me with a chessboard, and I will return it with a chess way.
The carriage drove to the military camp east of the city.
Zhongli Hongfu shook his head and smiled helplessly, he still had to visit Yan Wu for Zhongli Honghu, and get the slightest possibility for Yan Zhiyun, the eighth marquis who was walking on Yongyan Avenue. However, when he came to the barracks, Yan Wu was not there, and neither was the slave lord.
When he came out of the barracks, there were two people waiting at the gate of the barracks, one dressed in a snow-white coat and riding a lame horse, who looked like a soldier who had traveled all over the world, and the other had white hair like snow and was too old to look good.
People who come here will only have one purpose, and that is to come to meet the Tiger of Yanjing. Could it be someone from Yanjing? Or does the pride of heaven have other arrangements? Zhongli Hongfu ordered the coachman to park the carriage in the alley outside the barracks, pushed open a crack in the window of the carriage carved with cows and horses, and quietly looked at the two people through the gap. The white-clothed gentleman looked leisurely, holding a small wine jug and drinking, while looking east and west, a non-caring look. The old man, on the other hand, looked extremely anxious, and from time to time he begged the guards to let them in.
The guard kept shaking his head.
After a while, Zhongli Hongfu was about to leave, but there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw a carriage coming from the narrow alley.
The carriage drove slowly, with the windows open, and an old man sat in it.
Seeing this person, Zhongli Hongfu was shocked, Yin Yong, the right doctor of Yan Kingdom, how could he come here?
……
The wind blew from afar, spreading across the endless fields and quietly soaking the lonely hillside. Although it was a bitter winter and covered in heavy snow, once the sky cleared, those tenacious weeds began to bloom again.
The majestic city towered not far away, like a silent giant. Two black horses were grazing on the hillside, flicking their tails gently, Yu Lie sitting on a rock, the dog's tail grass swaying in the cold wind in front of him, as if telling something. Yan Wu sat next to him and looked at his face for a moment. Yu Lie stared at his palm, and in that rough palm lay a delicate green jade seed, even if there was no sunlight, it still emitted a soft light.
For a long, long time, Yu Lie didn't say a word.
He just looked at it softly.
There was no change in his demeanor and posture, and if it weren't for the wind blowing his hair, he would be no different from a lifeless stone sculpture, otherwise how could the ants crawling along the blades of grass climb his face?
The wind grew stronger, as if he were crying, but he couldn't hear it. Yan Wu patted him on the shoulder heavily, tears flashing in his eyes: "Firefly Xue has returned to defend the country, when I leave, let me hand it over to you." ”
He turned around and smiled at Yan Wu.
"Is Master Qin back?" He asked.
Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly: "Second brother, go to Longshan with me, we are all waiting for you." ”
"Nope."
