Chapter 209: Death and Life (3)
"What should I do?" I opened my mouth, and the cold wind with sand and rain poured directly into my mouth, "You can see—how those guards got down—" I shouted as I covered my mouth with my hands over and leaned over to Wuxian's side.
"There are sword marks on the moss, and each of them has a long sword and a short dagger, which should have slid straight down." After holding my head and speaking, Wuxian gestured to Yu An, Wuxie and Ah Yu by the light of lightning. Soon, the three groups of centaurs slowly climbed to the rock where we were, clinging to the ground.
"Zhao Wuxian, what should I do? You can't get down here with people on your back. In order to prevent Qi Hou from being blown away by the wind, Wuxian almost half-hugged him.
"Let's untie the rattan, roll it into a stick, wait for the wind to lighten, and then put the people down one by one." As soon as Wuxian's words fell, hundreds of fist-sized pieces of rubble suddenly poured down from the top of the mountain.
"Get down!" Shirtless yelled and pounced directly on me.
The falling rocks rolled past me with a thousand momentum, and I was stunned by this terrible scene, and I couldn't help but tremble as I lay on the ground. At this moment, the shirtless lying on top of me suddenly shook violently and let out a muffled snort.
When I turned my head, I saw blood flowing from the right corner of his forehead.
"You're hurt!"
"Be careful, don't look up!" He pressed my head and crawled forward, holding me firmly with his body.
Falling rocks kept hitting him, and the muffled sounds made my heart ache. How so, why does God do this to us? When will this nightmare of heaven and earth wake up?
When the fierce wind was replaced by a torrential rain, the rockfall on the mountain gradually decreased, but at this moment, a faint whistle was heard from the bottom of the cliff.
Shirtless let go of my head and half-knelt up.
Yu An also knelt down and sat up: "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, there's a situation at the bottom of the mountain." Wuxian untied the rattan tied to my waist and handed it to Yu An instead, "Xiao Shu, you pull me, I'll go down and take a look." ”
"Okay." Yu An nodded and wrapped the rattan around his waist, "Let's go down!" ”
Shirtless pulled out his dagger, prostrate himself, and slid down the cliff face upside down.
The rattan was tightened suddenly, and Yu An took half a step forward and let out a muffled snort. My scalp went numb, and without thinking, I jumped up and grabbed his leg.
In the heavy rain, Yu An turned his head to look at me and said silently: "Don't be afraid, I won't let him have anything to do." ”
I couldn't tell where the rain was and where the tears were on my face, so I could only bite my lip and nod heavily.
A moment later, there was a sound of hitting on the rock wall, and Yu An fell backwards and pulled the shirtless back up: "What's going on down there?" How far is it from the bottom of the mountain? ”
"People are coming down from the mountain. It seems that Chen Liao is planning to seal the entire mountain. ”
"What?" Qi Hou raised his head when he heard this.
"Did your people fight them?" Yu An hurriedly asked.
"Not yet, now that the rain is heavy, they seem to have set up camp at the bottom of the mountain, and they don't plan to attack it yet." Shirtless untied the rattan from his body and strode over to me.
"They're planning to wait for the rain to stop before they want to die!" Qi Hou listened to Wuxian's words, and suddenly buried his head on his knees and laughed, "What to flee from, where else can you escape?" This is the life of a widow! ”
"Your Majesty, it won't...... We climb up again, we go from the south, we always find the way. Lu Ji climbed a few steps and knelt beside Qi Hou.
"Hahaha...... It's late! It's late! In the pouring rain, Qi Hou, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, suddenly knelt upright, and he pointed to the thunder and thunder, and the lightning was frequent Tianyu and roared loudly, "The Emperor of Heaven - the Chen family lost his life and was chaotic, and he went against virtue and against the sky and endangered the widow, why did the Emperor of Heaven not help the widows, but help the rebellious ministers!" Why don't you uphold the right path, but rise up treacherous and evil! Why is the Emperor of Heaven so unfair to the widow - "Seeing his voice of blood and tears, and asking the heavens sadly, I choked in my throat and couldn't help myself."
The heavens may have been angry because of Qi Hou's questioning, and the sky was full of the sound of thunder, and lightning rushed into each other, tearing the canopy above our heads.
Is this the end for us? Is this the end of the road?
"After being a concubine, she will be bred in Jiang, the fifth Qichang, and in Shangqing; After the eighth generation, Mo Zhi was in Beijing. "Could it be true that the hexagram that the Chen family has believed in for generations? Because I have gone against the heavens, has the Emperor of Heaven sent down all kinds of dangers and dangers to punish me?
A ladle of rain was swept by the wind and poured me, my hands and feet gradually became numb, and my teeth began to chatter uncontrollably. I turned my head to look at the shirtless beside me, the wound on his forehead was washed by the rain, and the blood could not condense until it meandered to the corners of his mouth, the corners of his mouth were red, but his lips were pale.
"Hongyun'er, can you do something for me?" I raised my hand and gently covered his bleeding wound.
"I'm fine, a little bit of a wound. What do you want me to do? He took my hand and smiled at me in the rainstorm.
I took out a feather arrow from the arrow behind my back and folded it into two pieces, and solemnly placed the one with the bird feather in his hand: "You said that you will pull my hair for me with your own hands." We don't wait for the good day, I think today is good, you can save my hair! ”
"Ah Shi......" Wuxian's hand holding the broken arrow trembled violently, and he stared straight into my eyes, and his dark and bright pupils seemed to be frozen in an instant.
"Hongyun'er, pull my hair for me! I'm serious...... "I don't care about the people around me, I just smile and look at the man I love."
"Ahh......h I won't let you die! You believe me, we still have tomorrow, and I still hide Ming Yulu in Bogu City. Not today, never today. ”
"I don't want any bright jade flute, and I don't want any grand courtesy, for people like me, this broken arrow is very worthy of me. Thunder is music, lightning is a candle, broken arrows are a flute, there is a beloved person to pull my hair, who can be a woman in the world to my right? Hongyun'er, didn't you say that you wanted to send me to the geese? I've grown up, I've been waiting for this day for a long time......" I softened my voice as I looked into my shirtless eyes, "When the rain stops, when the day dawns, no matter what we will face, I am not afraid." Death and life are broad, and holding hands with the son is enough! After I finished speaking, I turned around and handed my long wet hair to Wuxian's hand, "Promise to marry, and be an adult, pull my hair for me!" ”
"Okay." Wuxian choked and stroked my long hair, "The first wild goose of this autumn, I will shoot you off." ”
He used his hand as a grate, and clumsily combed my hair, and when the half of the broken arrow was inserted into my hair, the wind and rain, lightning and thunder seemed to disappear. My fluctuating, turbulent heart suddenly calmed down.
The storm of that night ended an hour before dawn, and in the deepest darkness, the earth-shattering sound of fighting came from under the mountain. Shameless, Innocent, and Yu An jumped up almost at the same time, and slid down the cliff with their swords as a hindrance.
After a night of rain and a night of wind, the rest of the people were already exhausted. Lu Ji leaned on Qi Hou's lap and wept silently, Qi Hou looked at the little fire under the mountain and was stunned, Chen Pan was calm, lying motionless on the ground as if asleep.
"Girl, just let me go down! Now one to ten is not enough, I haven't broken my hand and my foot, what a decent person, how can the master let me wait here! "The sound of fighting under the mountain came and went, and Ah Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking around in front of me with two scimitars, "Girl—you should say something-"
"Alright, there you go! I came to see him. I twisted the rain on the hem of my skirt and stood up with my hands back, "You go and help Wuxian, Chen Shizi and I'll take a look!" ”
"Thank you, girl!" Ah Yu was overjoyed, turned around and thrust the scimitar in his right hand into the rock crevice, and swung his left and right hands alternately from the rock wall like an ape climbing a tree.
Chen's soldiers are below, our soldiers are above, and all the secret guards are equipped with a longbow and two arrows. Taking advantage of the terrain, even if you want to pay for ten, it may not be completely impossible to win. As long as Chen Heng's 1,000 army has not arrived, we will have the opportunity to fight again.
I looked at the fire below and was contemplating what might happen when a pebble suddenly jumped and landed at my feet. My heart tightened, and I turned around suddenly, only to see Chen Pan, who was sleeping with his arms on his pillow, had climbed to the hillside two feet away at some point.
"Chen Pan-" I took an arrow from the arrow behind my back in a hurry, and pulled the string with my bow to aim at Chen Pan's heart, "If you don't want to be killed by my arrow, it's best to stop me now!" ”
"I didn't want to escape-" Chen Pan stood on a high place and turned around and showed a big smile at me, "Girl, you come up!" He climbed up a large black boulder with his hands and feet, smiled and beckoned to me.
What the hell is this man going to do?! I took my bow and climbed up the strange rock in front of me.
"Come, give me your hand!" When Chen Pan saw me coming up, he stretched out his hand and pulled me up to the boulder.
"What the hell do you want to do!" As soon as I raised my right hand, I pressed the dagger hidden behind me into Chen Pan's throat.
"Girl, I just want to chat while we're both not dead yet, you don't have to be so nervous." Chen Pan tilted his neck back to avoid the tip of my knife, "Let's talk here, you can't hear me, I just want to know what conditions he promised you, is it worth your life like this?" ”
"What are you asking for?" I took the dagger and looked at him warily.
"Curious, I'm very curious, I'm afraid that you will all die later, no one will tell me, I am panicking." Chen Pan clapped his hands and looked at the fire under the mountain with a smile.
"Qi Jin alliance." I don't mention the matter of defending the country, but only use the alliance between Qi and Jin to prevaricate him.
