Chapter 22: The Assassination of Heng Gongzi

There was a pool of blood under him, reflecting a face, pale and haggard, and I seemed to be separated from her by a transparent wall, and I couldn't feel her pain. I raised my hand to brush the hair from my forehead, and she did the same thing as I did...... It dawned on me that she was nothing more than a reflection of me...... In the dark room, the lights above the head burned, and in the scattered cages, timid men and women and fierce blue wolves huddled.

There was a green wolf lying beside me, it was dead, the blood that soaked through its clothes was its blood, my hair was too long, white mixed with blood, blinding and intertwined...... I broke the wolf's teeth, sharpened them sharper on the cage, and sparks burst into the teeth and the bars, like stars, and the teeth were finally sharpened like a dagger that was worthy of my hand, and I used this newfound dagger to cut off my long hair. Then he tore off the fire mane of the blue wolf and draped it over his body......

I kicked open the door of the cage, but there was no lock, and I looked up and watched the terrified people fighting the wolves to the death, many of them dead, and the blood of the stumps leaked out of the cage and fell to the ground...... I watched it all indifferently...... Suddenly, a voice desperately shouted, "Help me!" "I followed the prestige, it was a girl who had already lost a battle with the blue wolf, and she looked at me with great earnestness, as if I was the last straw for her.

"I was tricked! Bai Yu recruited the righteous soldiers of the Southern Expedition in the name of the imperial court, I thought that I would go to the battlefield......" She cried, and at this time, the blue wolf beside her suddenly roared viciously, and took advantage of her distraction to swallow her......

I turned around indifferently and walked towards the exit of the dark room....... The girl's voice was no different from the cry of the blue wolf...... All sounds are one sound in my ears...... I can't tell, I can't remember.

There is only one memory in my deep mind, killing Dongfang Cong, entering the palace, and persuading the king of Northern Chu to attack Jiangnan.

As I stepped out of the stone castle, there were two rows of silver-armored men beside me, and they were like stones on the wall that could not make an impression on my mind...... The woman in white clothes and silver armor and silver mask sent me out of the stone castle and handed me a silver mask that was no different from hers.

On the rope bridge, the brass bell and the wind sent me away, and she stood at the beginning of the bridge, and behind her stood countless silver-armored people, as well as the blue wolf......

The snow was almost knee-thick, and I struggled to move forward, and from time to time branches that were crushed by the snow fell beside me, and finally I got on the official road, and there were more people and cars, and the snow on the ground was much thinner than in the field, but it was also compacted and formed into ice, and it was not much easier to walk than in the snow...... On the way to Zhaoqing City, I was like a ghost, and I actually went on the right path. In the crowded Anle Township, people's expressions are extremely rich, and it is difficult to imagine that a person's heart and a person's face can have so many faces......

The colorful colors in front of me, the noisy sound in my ears, to me, are no different from absolute silence and absolute emptiness. As I approached Dongfang Cong's mansion, a man dressed in green clothes touched me, and it didn't matter, I didn't care, but for a moment I seemed to be tripped, but I was obviously not in a mess......

By the time I looked up again, most of the people on the street had already disappeared, and they were hiding in the corners and shivering before they had time to disappear...... The blue wolf fire on my body was still dripping with blood, and they were scared...... I didn't care, and walked straight east from the mansion, but unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as I thought, and a group of soldiers in black armor surrounded me.......

"Grab it!" They were wearing masks, and one of the men at the front shouted at me, and at his command, the soldiers surrounded me......

"Am I wrong?"

"The god is weird, most likely a demon!" The man said confidently.

I pointed to the terrified people on the street and said to the soldier in front of me, "I didn't hurt them, and you came to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" ”

The leader apparently didn't want to waste a word with me, and he waved his hand impatiently, and the soldiers approached me with their spears raised..... I took out the dagger I had sharpened from my bosom, the blue wolf fang....... I followed the example of the blue wolf escaping from the dense forest, jumping out of the encirclement like a wind passing through the forest, and landed firmly behind the leading soldiers.......

Then came the sound of spears breaking and falling to the ground, the sound of corpses falling to the ground, and the sound of blood splattering...... I slashed their throats with my spear with my blue-toothed dagger, and the leading soldier behind me was about to shout when I turned around and slit his throat with the same dagger....... Those who stopped me were turned to stone...... Scold......

I continued on my way, and the people in the street scattered in all directions....... Ten steps in front of me, there was a jade man in white, standing abruptly...... It's Dongfang Cong, and there is a voice in my head urging me to kill him, just like killing these soldiers, don't hesitate......

When I approached him, he did not flee in a hurry like the people, but stood still and motionless......

I clenched my dagger and stopped half a step in front of him......

He smiled, but tears glistened in his eyes...... I don't know if he was laughing or crying, but at this time he stretched out a hand to me, and I suddenly lifted the dagger and stabbed him in the heart, and there were green tendons on his hands, face, and neck, and he was in pain but patient...... Still holding out that hand to me, I stabbed him again in the same position, and he fell to the ground and died...... As he fell, the thing in his hand rolled to the ground, a small square thing...... I bent down to pick it up, and the little thing was stained with his blood and melted in the palm of my hand, sticky...... I discarded it, walked to a remote corner of the roadside, washed my hands with snow, and continued onward, crossing Zhaoqing, and then crossing the three cities, is the Northern Capital, where the royal palace of Northern Chu is located, I want to meet the king of Northern Chu and persuade him to send troops to the south.

Jiangbei is vast and densely populated, and I seem to be stepping on not the earth, but people along the way.......
