Chapter 41: The Fall of the Hero
Yan and Wei were in full swing, and Murong Jun sent Murong Chui, the king of Wu, to repeatedly attack the Wei border. Ran Min led the troops to repel the Yan army several times and defuse the crisis. On this day, Ran Min led 3,000 men and horses to escort grain and grass through Changcheng, and heard that the Yan army sent troops to harass him. Ran Min's subordinates persuaded Ran Min not to be fooled, and at present, Ran Min only had 3,000 people under his command, and the Yan army did not know what the bottom was, so it was not appropriate to underestimate the enemy. Ran Min also thought that what his subordinates said was reasonable, so he decided to escort the grain and grass back to Wei as soon as possible.
The army trekked all the way, and when it was almost to the state of Wei, a river appeared at the end of the road, and the army decided to go around this river and continue its advance. Unexpectedly, a team of people appeared on the other side of the river, and the girl on the horse was dressed in red and had a gorgeous appearance, it was Murong Xue. She hugged her fists across the river: "King Wei, don't come unharmed, do you still know your old friends?" ”
I saw a thin girl tied up by five flowers, thrown down from another horse, someone pulled her hair from behind, forced her to raise her head, and took away the cloth that covered her eyes, Ran Min couldn't help but be shocked at this look, this woman was Zang Qing'er who he thought had returned to the Jin Kingdom a long time ago.
I held back the severe pain on my body and looked into the distance, and I also recognized that the tall and majestic bank on the other side of the river was none other than Ran Min, the emperor of Ran Wei. Suddenly, I suddenly realized why Murong Xue didn't kill me for a long time, she was actually using me to use medicine for Ran Min.
"King Wei, this girl's life depends on you today!" After that, Murong Xue led this group of people away, and I was picked up and thrown on horseback like a broken bag.
"Your Majesty, by all means, the Yan army must have been ambushed. If we go now, we will definitely fall into the net! Ran Min's subordinates persuaded Ran Min because Ran Min insisted on saving Zang Qing'er.
"How can I see death without saving it!" Ran Min had made up his mind, and everyone didn't dare to say more.
"Drive~~" Ran Min led three thousand soldiers to chase in the direction of Murong Xue and his party.
I silently prayed in my heart, Ran Min must not fall for Yan Guo's tricks, this time Yan Guo must have made sufficient preparations! I think I'm just a woman, Ran Min is a peerless hero, don't fall into danger because of me!
But it backfired, and the smoke and dust behind him were Ran Min's horses. The heroic and majestic eight-foot man led by him was none other than Ran Min, and his Zhulong horse was chasing Murong Xue at a fast speed at this time. A triumphant smile appeared on Murong Xue's face, and the group of people went around and around a mountain road. I secretly said something bad in my heart.
Sure enough, in the mountains, the Yan army had already set up an ambush, just like when they caught me and Zheng Zong, the Yan army connected the war horses with iron locks to form a copper wall and iron wall. I was tied up and hung in front of the battle, and when I saw Ran Min leading the army to kill me, I shouted: "There is an ambush!" There is an ambush! Go back! Ran Min! ”
But Ran Min seemed to have made up his mind to save me, and he rushed over desperately. The bronze wall of the Yan army immediately surrounded him, surrounded him, and the war horses were wrapped around one by one, encircling them tighter and tighter, Ran Min was extremely brave, and fought hard to kill the enemy, and in a moment he had killed hundreds of Yan troops. But the war horse wall of the Yan army encircled him, and the tighter the siege, the thicker and thicker the war horse wall, if this continues, Ran Min's army will definitely be surrounded by regiments and finally killed!
In desperation, Ran Min jumped up, cut the rope that bound me with his sword, and carried me to his warhorse. He fought his way through the northeast corner and broke through.
I lay on Ran Min's horse, listening to the sound of swords whistling behind me, thinking of Ran Min's generation of heroes, but for a woman like me, I did not hesitate to risk my life, I really felt ashamed. Ran Min's Zhulong horse kept running, and after running for about two hours, the horse suddenly fell to its knees with its front hooves, and we fell off the horse out of control.
It turned out that Ran Min's horse had already been hit by an arrow, and after running for a long time, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground and died. We both fell heavily to the ground and were seriously injured. Ran Min stretched out his hand sadly and closed the horse's eyes. The soldiers chasing by the Yan army instantly surrounded us and surrounded us.
"Your Majesty, how can the little girl be able to do it, how can she be saved by you?" I was moved to tears.
"Big husband, no one has died, Qing'er doesn't have to be sad."
"You can't die, what if you die, what will you do with the people of Wei Kingdom?" I cried.
"Less nonsense! Someone is coming and tie them up!" Murong Xue gave an order.
Both of us were tied up, and Murong Xue said: "Everyone says that Ran Min is brave and unparalleled in the world, I think it's just brave and unscrupulous, but that's it!" ”。 My heart hurts, if it weren't for me, how could Ran Min fall into the trap of Yan Jun and become a prisoner!
"If there is a chance to save my son's life." Ran Min whispered in my ear before being taken away.
"Okay." I tearfully agreed.
"Let go of me, I'll go on my own." Ran Min said to those soldiers of the Yan Kingdom. Ran Min's face did not change, and he strode forward fearlessly. The Yan Jun present were all shocked by Ran Min's righteous and awe-inspiring momentum.
After returning to Dragon City, I was imprisoned, and what awaited me was endless torture every day, and I was numb to the physical torture, but when I thought of the situation of Chen Zong and Ran Min, my heart was like a knife.
I spent my days in the prison of Yan Kingdom, waiting for death to come, I knew that my time was running out, and Murong Xue would not let me go. There was a small window above the cell, and every day a bright light appeared through that small window, went out, and so on...... My heart is like this light, and it is kindled.... Extinguish...... One day, the little officials in the cell were all wearing mourning clothes, I hurriedly inquired, and I heard the little officials in the cell say that Murong Jun, the emperor of Yan State, suddenly fell ill and died violently, and now the queen can be the youngest son of the Hun family, Murong Wei, to inherit the throne. I suddenly became worried about Murong Chong, King Yan died, and the queen bore the brunt of getting rid of him, the former crown prince. In the past, due to the protection of King Yan, the queen did not dare to make a mistake, but now that the emperor has died, no one can protect the phoenix anymore.
I remembered what Murong Xue said under the heavy snow when he knelt down in the corridor of the Chaoxia Hall that day: "I want you to watch the people you care about leave one by one!" "My heart ached violently, don't, don't.......
That day finally came, and one day, I could hear a commotion outside the cell, and I knew she was finally here amid the shouts of "Princess Chitose" from everyone.
Murong Xue changed her immature dress in the past, her hair was no longer combed into the girl's bun, but combed the cross bun that only came out of the pavilion woman, wearing a gold phoenix tiara, wearing a red open-sleeved phoenix robe, and a belt of gold silk luan phoenix around her waist, looking dignified and charming, and extravagant.
She ordered the cell door to be opened, and she beckoned, and someone lowered the tray with a glass of wine to the floor.
"Tomorrow is the princess's big day, and the princess specially rewarded Miss Zang with a glass of wine, and it was not in vain that the girl and the horse got acquainted." The maid beside Murong Xue said.
Hearing that she and Chen Zong are going to get married tomorrow, my head "buzzed" and exploded~ There is really nothing to be nostalgic for in this world....... I raised my head and looked at Murong Xue: "This is a poison bar?"
"Hmph~" A contemptuous smirk escaped from her mouth.
I picked up the wine glass and looked up to drink it, when suddenly Murong Xue snatched the wine glass from my hand.
"What are you doing here? Isn't that what you've always dreamed of? I looked at her puzzled.
"Aren't you ready to beg me for mercy?"
"Begging for mercy? Hum! There's no need for it! ”
"No hurry! I have something to tell you before you die! Murong Xue smiled treacherously.
"What did you do?" I shook my head, I didn't want to hear this, this cruel news, it made me miserable. I covered my ears and escaped the final torture.
She ordered someone to pull away my hand covering my ears, and said word by word: "Listen, thanks to you, Ran Min has been arrested, and he has been beheaded in Jijing Mountain!" ”
"What do you say! No, I don't believe it! I shook my head frantically and screamed. That's impossible! ”
"How dare you disturb the princess!" Someone pinned me to the ground. Murong Xue squatted down, and she whispered in my ear word by word: "There is another thing to tell you, at this moment, Aunt Lou Lan is going to the Nanyang Palace, and she is giving my phoenix brother the same wine as you." My brother is suffering from madness, and my mother sees that he is in real pain, and she can't bear to live in the world......."
"Enough! That's enough! Murong Xue, you even killed your own brother, you are a ...... in vain" I roared......
"Someone! Pour it in for me! Murong Xue handed the wine in her hand to the maid behind her.
"Yes, princess!"
"Princess, don't!" Suddenly, there was the sound of kneeling outside the cell. It turned out that he had been outside and did not come in.
"I asked you to come today to make you stop thinking about her, why do you still have affection for her?"
"Princess, no, I just can't bear it."
"You negative man, get out, I don't want you to intercede for me, you get out!" I yelled at him. "Do you think that your intercession for me proves that you are a loving and righteous person? You vain and shameless villain! Get out! I scolded in the most vicious words. Indulgence, Ran Min died because of me, and the phoenix is also dying, I can't let you have any more accidents, I broke free from the person who grabbed me, snatched the poisonous wine from the maid's hand and drank it all. Soon the effects of the medicine hit, my heart ached violently, I crawled to the kneeling side, and whispered with the last of my strength: "Save Ran Min's son." He fell to the ground, blood gushing out of my mouth and splashing onto my snow-white robe.....
When I was dying, I heard the grief-stricken say, "Please give Qing'er a whole corpse!" Indulge in the wish to repay with death! ”
My love, see you in the next life~
