Chapter 8, the long makes the hero cry
Li Mu and Li Zhong hurried to the city of Handan, only to see that the city gate was closed, and there were heavy soldiers guarding the city tower, Li Zhong stepped forward and shouted: "Wu Anjun is here, open the city gate quickly?"
Seeing that it was Li Mu and Li Zhong under the city, the guards hurriedly said: "Wu Anjun wait a minute, his subordinates will go to Tongyu immediately!"
Li Zhong said angrily: "What else do you need to know, open the city gate quickly, it's too late, cut off your head!"
The guard said: "The general doesn't know, now the whole city is on guard, and the personnel who enter and exit the city gate must be verified, so as not to let the enemy spies and killers enter the city, and Wu Anjun is offended!"
Li Zhong was furious and wanted to scold, but was stopped by Li Mu.
After a while, Zhao Cong came to the city gate, saw that Li Mu only brought Li Zhong back, and smiled proudly at Li Mu: "My king has seen Wu Anjun return to Handan more than a dozen times, Wu Anjun has resisted the edict and disobeyed the edict, why did he come back obediently this time, did he come back to assassinate my king?"
Li Zhong scolded: "Turtle King bastard, you have planted it, come to fight with your grandfather, don't shrink in the turtle shell and put shit!"
Zhao Cong said angrily: "Don't worry, I will tear your mouth open and break your jaw in a while, so that your life is worse than death!" shouted to the guards: "Wu Anjun disobeyed the military order and fornicated with the Qin State, and now he wants to assassinate the King of Zhao, kill without mercy, and release the arrow!" The guard hesitated, and Zhao Cong shouted again: "Hurry up and release the arrow, do you want to commit treason?" The guards knew that Li Mu was loyal and good, how could he be treasonous, but they were urged by Zhao Cong and had to release arrows, but the arrows were aimed at the ground in front of Li Mu's horse, and none of the arrows were shot behind Li Mu.
Li Zhongfei stepped forward, jumped high, stretched out his hand to grab the arrow, when he landed, his body rolled forward, stretched out his hand and pulled out the bow on his back, pointed to the ground on one knee, took the arrow on the string, and did not aim, 'oh', the arrow shot at the city Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong wanted to shoot again, before he could catch the arrow, the arrow had arrived at the door, Zhao Cong instinctively squatted, 'bang', the arrow crossed the helmet, shot the helmet, nailed to the city wall, buzzed, Zhao Cong was scared out of a cold sweat, slowly poked his head out from the city wall, for fear that the arrow would shoot again.
Li Mu shouted coldly: "Let Guo Kai come out and speak, you can't kill me." ”
Zhao Cong shouted: "The prime minister will be here soon, I advise you to hurry up and be arrested, so as not to suffer your wife and children!"
Li Mu sneered: "I'm not stupid enough to be this far, as long as I, Li Mu, don't die, he won't dare to touch a single hair of my wife and children." ”
At this time, Guo Kai came steadily to the city tower, saw Li Mu's white hair, and said with a smile: "Don't come for a long time, how can Wu Anjun's hair change like this, it seems to be old, but he still has the ambition of the year, hehe." ”
Li Mu shouted: "Guo Kai, let my wife and children out, otherwise you don't want to kill me!"
Guo Kaidao: "Okay, I like Wu Anjun to be quick and fast, come here, bring Wu Anjun's wife up!"
Nalan Xue and Li Jian were taken to the city tower by the soldiers, the hands of the mother and son were tied and connected together, Nalan Xue was much haggard, and her eyes lost their original beauty.
Li Barrier was still so weak that he couldn't help but look at everything in front of him lightly, but when he saw his father Li Mu, his eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect his father to choose to come back, "How could my father choose to come back, doesn't he don't have my son? Isn't he all about righteousness? If he doesn't come, my mother and I will be alive, but if he comes back, all this is beyond his control, why does he do this? There is only one way to die, does he want to come back and die with us? In fact, I have never known my father, just as he does not understand me, maybe this is my father, and only he can come back like this." Thinking of this, Li Jian showed the smile that was absent for the first time in his life.
Nalan Xue looked at Li Mu, she hadn't seen her for three years, and the person who was looking forward to it was already full of silver hair when she returned, and her eyes were full of despair, which made her sad and her heart cracked, but she couldn't do anything, and she shouted loudly: "The general doesn't care about me and the barrier, go back quickly!"
Li Mu sat on the horse, looked at the intact wife and children in the city, and said to Guo Kai: "Let their mother and son come down, and I will be captured!"
Guo Kai smiled and said: "No one believes in Bencheng's eyes, you have ruined your legs, I will release you immediately, I will do what I say!"
Li Zhong stepped forward and scolded: "Guo Kai, after you finished shitting, don't you eat it back many times? Do you think that everyone else is like you, spewing dog shit all over your mouth, release people first, if it's too late, I will be angry, go back and lead the troops to break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
Guo Kai smiled and said: "If you wanted to lead the troops, you would have done so a long time ago, this is what you asked for, and Ben Cheng didn't expect you to return to the net!"
Li Mu said: "Since you know that I will come back to you, you should believe me Li Mu will do what he says!"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but this matter can't be sloppy!"
While they were talking, Nalan Xue whispered to Li Zhan: "Zhuan'er, I'm afraid of death!" Li Zhan shook his head lightly, "They are taking our mother and son and forcing your father to die, if your father dies, we will definitely not live, even if we live, we will not avenge your father, but if we die first, we will inevitably provoke our father to live for revenge, although he was very indifferent to you in the past, he came back this time to save you, he has already admitted in his heart that there is a son of you, but he is that kind of character, you won't blame your father." ”
After hearing this, Li Jian shook his head gently, already understanding his mother's intentions.
Guo Kaidao: "It's better to do this, how about you tie yourself up first, Ben Cheng will send someone down to check, the inspection is correct, and he will release him!"
Li Mulang said: "I have already handed over the talisman to Sima Shang, and I am already a worthless person when I resign as a general, and I can't pose any threat to you, so why do you want to do this to me." ”
"Hehe, for people like you, only death is reassuring!"
Li Mu said: "Okay, as you said, send someone to tie up, if you break your promise, I, Li Mu, will never spare you!"
At this moment, Nalan Xue saw that the guards behind her were distracted, and glanced at Li Ji, the mother and son, jumped at the same time, and fell down the city tower with fluttering clothes, waiting for the guards to step forward to stop it, it was too late.
No one thought of this sudden expectation, Li Mu saw his wife and children suddenly fall off the city tower, he didn't have time to think about it, grabbed Li Zhong's spear, threw it hard, the spear flew to the city wall, nailed heavily to the wall, and was not more than half a foot deep, Na Lanxue's back was falling on the spear body, blocked by the spear body, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fainted, the fall was slightly slowed down by this block, but the fall was still fast, the spear was broken, and continued to fall along the city wall, Li Zhong had an idea, grabbed more than ten arrows in the quiver behind him, quickly put it on the string, and shot hard, all of them shot to the city wall, Na Lanxue's body crushed all the arrows that shot to the wall, Li Zhong continued to grab the arrows and shoot again, shot out three times in a row, after unloading a lot of falling momentum, seeing that Nalan Xue and Li Barrier were about to fall under the city, at this time, Li Mu had already stepped forward, jumped up, caught Na Lanxue and Li Barrier in the air, and the body rolled three feet in a row before stopping, Li Mu wanted to get up, and immediately felt severe pain in the shoulder bone and lumbar spine, knowing that it was broken, Na Lanxue opened her eyes slightly, saw Li Mu holding her, and said weakly: "Barrier!" Goodbye Li Barrier in his arms, he was already unconscious, and his breath was minimal.
Guo Kai ordered people to release arrows, and the sword rain shot down, Li Zhong rushed over and said, "Father-in-law, go quickly!" waved the long sword, blocked the arrows that were shot, and covered Li Mu and Nalan Xue, who was holding Li Barrier, retreated.
Li Zhong was hit by several arrows, although not in the critical situation, but the injury was not light, at this time the war horse has been shot down, several people can only flee quickly outside the city, slow movement, at this time, Guo Kai ordered Zhao Cong, Yan Ju to lead hundreds of cavalry that had already been prepared, chasing after him, seeing that he could not escape, Li Zhong turned around and shouted: "Father-in-law, go quickly, I will stop them!" Li Mu said: "You take your stepmother away, what they want is me!" Li Zhong didn't listen, bent his bow and arrows, shot down a few people, and said to Li Mu: "Take down the two horses, and then say!" Li Mu said: "Okay!" The two turned around, at this time the war horse had already rushed over, a cavalryman's spear stabbed Li Zhong, Li Zhong on the side of his body, grabbed the head of the spear, shook his arms hard, pulled the cavalry down the horse, and immediately fell to death, and then picked up the spear, and those cavalry fought together, Li Mu also took the halberd to protect Nalan Xue and Li Barrier who did not know whether to live or die in her arms, at this time, the cavalry had surrounded the four people.
Zhao Cong looked at Li Mu from the periphery and shouted, "You are already cornered, and you will not die!"
Li Zhong shouted, the spear was rounded, swept the spear and halberd that stabbed in, shook back the cavalry, lit the spear to the ground, supported it hard, flew up, kicked the horse cavalry away, jumped onto the horse, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, loosened the reins, rushed to Zhao Cong, and shouted: "Zhao Cong is coming!" Zhao Cong was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Stop him for me!" The cavalry on both sides blocked in front of Zhao Cong, so that Li Zhong could not get close.
Li Mu protected Nalan Xue, had no chance to take the horse, picked up the cavalry that stepped forward, and shouted at Li Zhong, who was fighting with the cavalry: "Take your stepmother away, I will catch up later!" Li Zhong heard the shout, turned the horse's head, rushed back, quickly came to Nalan Xue's side, stretched out his hand, and shouted: "Stepmother, hurry up!" Nalan Xueben Hu Nu, good at riding and shooting, holding Li Barrier with one hand, grabbing Li Zhong's hand with the other, was pulled to the horse, Li Zhong rode out of a bloody road, rushed to the direction of Jingcheng Pass, Li Mu also took a horse, rushed out, turned around and rode backwards, resisting the approaching cavalry, after Li Zhong was broken, if he was not seriously injured, how could these cavalry stop him, Li Mu gritted his teeth, his eyes were wide with anger, his white hair was dyed red, and he sweated like rain.
At this time, Guo Kai rushed over with a group of cavalry, and Guo Kai shouted: "Can't let them run, chase quickly!"
The war horse that Li Zhong was riding, carrying a lot of weight, was not very fast, and was soon caught up by the pursuers, and was surrounded again, Li Mu's shoulders were broken, his arms were numb, and he instinctively persevered, and he didn't know how long he had been fighting, and the world was blood-red.
Guo Kai said to the Qingyang Daoist beside him, "When is the Daoist going to make a move!"
Qingyang Dao Chang was carrying a long sword, and said with a slight smile: "What, the prime minister is in a hurry today, I hear that Li Mu is brave and good at fighting, it is rare to see it, I want to take a good look, hehe!"
Guo Kai said unhappily: "The Taoist asked Ben Cheng to frame Li Mu, I did it, if I can't kill Li Mu, it's the Daoist's problem!"
"Don't worry, he won't last long, the prime minister doesn't have to worry, Li Mu will definitely die today!"
'Whoosh', Zhao Cong suddenly released a cold arrow, hitting Li Mu's chest, Li Mu's 'ah', his whole body was shocked, his body was dignified, and he fell off the horse, Li Zhong shouted bitterly: "Father-in-law!" Knowing that he was no longer good, tears flowed in his eyes, if it wasn't for carrying Nalan Xue and Li Barrier, he would immediately rush over and fight hard.
The cavalry saw that Li Mu was shot, stopped and couldn't bear to look, who did not know who Li Mu was, and did not know his loyalty, but the situation forced him to live with a smothered conscience.
Nalan Xue looked at Li Mu, opened her mouth for a long time, couldn't speak, forced her composure, and said slowly to Li Zhong in a low voice: "This horse is too heavy and can't run fast, your brother-in-law is the only son of your father-in-law, you must take him out and don't let him fall into the hands of traitors!"
Instead, he lowered his head and kissed Li Zhan's forehead, tears dripped on Li Zhan's face, and said softly: "Jiao'er, my mother can't go down with you, my mother wants to accompany your father, I can't let him die so lonely, you won't blame my mother, if you can escape this catastrophe, remember, live." ”
This arrow shot into Li Mu's heart, and after a long time, Li Mu sat up tremblingly, his breathing was short, blood was in his mouth, his eyes were wandering, Li Mu giggled: "I should have ...... Died on the battlefield, but ...... Died in the Zhao ...... In the hands, it seems...... This Zhao Guo ...... It's time to die!"
All the people were dumbfounded, some were secretly wiping their tears, looking at everything in front of them, it was a kind of cruelty, Guo Kai sighed and said, "You can go with peace of mind!"
Li Mu trembled and said in a dumb voice: "I...... Of course...... Peace of mind, I ...... Worthy...... Zhao Ren!"
Qingyang Dao said: "From now on, there will be no more Zhao people, only Qin people!"
Nalan Xue kissed Li Barrier's forehead again, and said in a low voice: "Mother is gone, you want to live!" After speaking, she tied Li Barrier behind Li Zhong, jumped off the war horse, slowly walked towards Li Mu, picked up a broken spear tip, held it in her hand, came to Li Mu and knelt down, and smiled at Li Mu who was in a trance: "I will always be with you!" raised his slender hand, and struggled to pierce the tip into his heart, blood stained his red shirt, Li Mu said with a dying breath: "What is the pain...... , the obstacle is still ...... , good ......" trembled with one hand and hugged Nalan Xue tightly.
Li Jian seemed to feel that his parents were about to leave, his heart suddenly jumped, he opened his eyes, and when he turned around, he saw his parents hugging each other, kneeling on the ground and dying, and shouted urgently: "Dad, mother!"
Li Zhong gritted his teeth, slapped the spear to the horse, a horse roared, the war horse galloped out, Li Mu and Nalan Xue heard Li Barrier's shout at the same time, looked at Li Barrier, saw Li Barrier on the galloping war horse, looked back at them, stretched out his little hand, as if to grab his parents, unwilling to leave, his hair fluttered, his eyes were full of despair, all this was like a dream, so unreal, lingering, all this was like electricity, he couldn't say a word, he was all taken away.
Li Mu exhaled his last breath and said, "Wu'er!"
Nalan Xue whispered: "You must ...... Live!" the two looked at Li Jian and passed away.
Qingyang Dao Chang woke up like a dream and shouted: "Don't let them run, chase after them!"
