Chapter 14: The Finale (Part II)
Chapter 14: The Finale (Part II)
Qin Xi was dressed in white, cold and dusty, peerless, with a cold light on her face, she said resolutely: "Even if I die here today, I will never let you succeed." β
As long as she dies, no one in this world can use her to threaten the people she cares about, she has the will to die early in the morning, sees through the trap of silence and still makes the illusion of a plan, for this moment. This dagger made by Murong Ying herself, how could she not know that there was a ghost? Concubine Yao sincerely confided in her to get rid of her through Murong Ying's hand, such a woman who knows how to survive in the court, got rid of Qin Xi, she turned into the woman who is most like Qin Xi in the world, with Chu Hong's paranoia, Qin Xi is dead, his attachment to her will be deeper and heavier, and at that time, the guilt will be pushed to Murong Ying, and there is no proof of death, and he can easily get out.
Chu Hong lost his mind in shock, and in an instant, all that came to his mind was Qin Xi's despisy of his affection and wanted him to die, he subconsciously covered the bleeding wound, and slapped Qin Xi's right shoulder in anger, the force was amazing, and when he reacted, Qin Xi's thin body had been hit by the palm wind and took a big step back, he watched her fall backwards unsteadily, and wanted to reach out to pull, but he tore the wound and bent down in pain, missing the last opportunity.
Qin Xi's shoulder blades were shattered by Chu Hong's palm, and her five views were distorted in pain, she didn't have time to cover the sore spot, the back of her waist was already empty, and the whole person actually fell off the high city wall. She is good at light work, but she has been taking the soft muscles for several days, and her body is weak and she can't use any martial arts, she understands that no one can save her this time.
The wind in her ears was whistling, carrying a cold drizzle, falling on her little by little, and she survived several times when she was in a desperate situation, in fact, God loved her very much. Her body slammed into the hard ground, not even a trace of dust was stirred, and she was torn apart in pain and lost consciousness.
Qin Xi was lying on her back on the dirty ground, blood gradually seeped out from under her body, she fell too hard, and most of her white clothes were quickly dyed red, which was shocking. The cold rain fell and splashed muddy water on her face, which was very down. When she was confused, she seemed to see Qin Cheng stretching out his hand towards her, and she wanted to raise her hand to hold it, but it really hurt so much that she couldn't do it.
She whimpered like a wounded little beast: "Daddy-Daddy-" Two lines of tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, mixing with the rain: "Daddy, you are finally willing to take me home." β
Qin Xi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and when she was about to lose it, there was a sound of Dada's horses' hooves in her ears, and the neighing of the horses was very sad, as if someone had jumped off the horse and quickly ran towards where she was.
She barely regained her senses and tried to open her mouth, Li Xuan always didn't take his own life seriously, there were more than twenty archers in ambush on this city wall, and he just ran alone, it was too dangerous. She tried to stop him, but she was in too much pain to speak.
Li Xuan was extremely distressed, he was determined to die in exchange for her life, this was his oath to him. But he galloped on his horse, but what he saw was the scene of her falling from the city wall, he desperately flicked the whip to force the horse to speed up again and again, forgetting that this was a trap set by Chu Hong, and ran to her desperately, but it was too late.
His legs were filled with lead, and every step he took towards her seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he knelt straight beside her, and smashed a tear. He carefully calculated, worked tirelessly to reorganize the army, laid out the battle situation, and joined forces with Qi Ao and Dugu Hao to suppress Chu Hong, he took so much thought, thinking that it was foolproof, he didn't even want his own life, it was enough to see her before he died, but God was so cruel to him that he was stingy with even a chance to die, and wanted to take the life of the woman he loved the most.
Providence makes people! Providence makes people!
He didn't even know how to lift her up to make her less painful. Her body was red, blood mixed with rain flowed farther away, as if her life was passing little by little, and he put his warm hand on hers, and the temperature under his fingertips was terrifyingly cold.
"Xi'er, I'll take you home."
Hearing Li Xuan's mournful voice, Qin Xi tried his best to gather back his scattered divine sense, why was his face so vicissitudes? Why is he so thin? Why are his eyes so sad?
"Li Xuanβ"
She struggled to spit out his name, her voice so small that it was almost drowned out by the rain: "I want toβI want toβgo backβ"
She really wanted to go back to Qinzhou. There is her home, her father, Li Zhai, Taolin, and the beauty of their first acquaintance, and the happiest days of her life are the years she spent in Qinzhou.
Qin Xi's pupils dilated little by little, she was too tired and tormented to support it anymore, so she closed her eyes. Those pairs of eyes that looked forward to Shenfei and were tactful and agile closed tightly, and there was finally no woman named Qin Xi in this world.
Li Xuan hugged her waist, his chin pressed against her smooth forehead, a dignified seven-foot man, as if struck by lightning, his eyes were completely lost, and his voice was so sad that heaven and earth were moved: "Xi'er-Xi'er-don't leave me, I beg you, don't leave me alone." β
"Aren't you looking for revenge on me? I have lost you, I want to kill or chop you at your disposal, I only beg you not to die, I will not allow you to die! How can you be so ruthless and leave me alone in this world? β
"Let's go back to Qinzhou, I won't go anywhere in the future, I will live in Qinfu and accompany you, I will accompany you to do whatever you like, didn't you say that you want to go to the places I traveled when I was young? I'll be with you, okay? Xi'er, open your eyes and look at me, I can't lose you, I really can't lose you! β
He was young and ambitious, good at planning and calculating people's hearts, and later assisted the emperor to crown the prince of the opposite sex, he really wanted the wind to be the wind and the rain, but he owed her again and again, whether he wanted to do it or not, he hurt her again and again. She showed a pure and innocent heart, but he deceived and betrayed her.
He was discouraged and discouraged.
On the top of the city tower, Chu Hong was seriously injured and fainted and was taken away, and the archers had to retreat, missing the opportunity to get rid of Li Xuan in vain. Losing this opportunity, Nanguo has been in a slump since then, and is no longer able to compete with Daqi.
An hour later, Bai Yi arrived with a few masters from the army, the general did not return for a long time, he finally couldn't sit still, and beckoned a few outstanding martial arts to resist the military order together, and rode over at the fastest speed. Several people drove horses close to the city wall, Bai Yi saw the general hugging a woman and kneeling on the ground, understanding that something was wrong, several people turned over and dismounted and ran forward to kneel down together, seeing that the woman was dressed in blood, leaning on the general's arms and had lost her breath, it was the general's wife, several people looked at each other with sad expressions, Bai Yi secretly said that it was not good, the prince has always loved the princess, and would rather save the princess than his own life, and won a great victory in the southern war, but the prince lost two of his closest people in a row, how can he bear it?
Bai Yi arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, mourn." β
Several people behind him said in unison: "General, mourn." β
The soldiers on the battlefield are accustomed to life and death, and they are facing the pain of losing their comrades every time, and they can understand the general's mood at this time, but people can't be resurrected after death, and this woman died for the general, and they respect it very much.
"Lord Wang, the people of the Southern Emperor have returned to Yancheng, and it is imperative to ask the prince to return to the camp with his subordinates as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation." Bai Yi knows the status of the princess in the prince's heart best, the Southern Emperor forced the princess to death, and it was impossible for the two countries to make peace.
"General, this place is dangerous, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, please return to the camp with me!"
Several soldiers said from the bottom of their hearts, but Li Xuan didn't hear it, and quietly hugged Qin Xi and refused to move. The rain finally stopped, Li Xuan was soaked, and Qin Xi in his arms had already become cold. She died, and there would never be a smile in this world that could put him on the tip of his heart.
Li Xuan's dejected appearance, even if the iron-blooded man saw it, he couldn't help wiping away his tears.
Before nightfall, Li Xuan stood up with Qin Xi in his arms, and staggered back a few steps before standing firmly, he knew that she was afraid of the dark and the cold, and with him in the future, she didn't have to be afraid. He whispered in her ear, "Xi'er, let's go home." β
He helped Qin Xi to get on the horse, stepped on the horse, took her in his arms and protected her, pulled up the reins and turned the horse's head, and rode in the direction of the Daqi camp.
The news of Qin Xi's death spread all over the barracks, all the soldiers stood outside the camp tent in unison, welcoming their general's return, in their eyes, the general strategized to win a thousand miles, and the outstanding military achievements are one thing, for the sake of Daqi lost his loved ones one after another, like many of them, they have paid too much for this country, and they feel the same for a while, many people saw Li Xuan dismount and walk into the camp with Qin Xi all the way, and couldn't help but kneel on one knee, holding the deepest admiration for his husband and wife.
The sky outside the camp tent was dark, there was no moon and no stars, only a faint candle was lit in the camp tent, Li Xuan sat in front of the bed like a stone sculpture, Qin Xi lay quietly on the collapse, still dressed in blood, his hair was messy, his face was pale, he shook her cold hand, and his heart was so sad that he was numb.
Since entering the camp tent, several hours have passed, and he has maintained the same posture without saying a word or taking a sip of water, staying with Qin Xi without sleep. Bai Yi sent the food over, and when he saw Li Xuan's appearance of being out of the world, he retreated again, he passed the book to the emperor, and the prince was hit by this blow, and he was afraid that he would have no intention of fighting again.
It was a sleepless night.
Li Xuan lasted until the fifth day, and finally approached the limit of his body, and collapsed. Bai Yi took advantage of this to pry open his teeth, fed him decoction and food, the prince was infatuated, this was to follow the princess with an iron heart, how could he watch the prince kill himself?
Li Xuan was in a coma for three days, then he opened his eyes and sat up, his first reaction was to look at the bed, Qin Xi was still there, she was lying there quietly, as if she was just asleep. He lifted the brocade quilt with difficulty, finally stood up, and just took a step before he fell down, a pair of strong hands supported him at the right time, Long Xiao pressed him to sit down, and his face was painful: "When are you going to fall?" is so self-defeating, how can she give up her life for you? β
Long Xiao was in a hurry day and night, and he didn't know how tired he was a few fast horses, if he hadn't seen Qin Xi's corpse with his own eyes and saw Li Xuan haggard and down, he wouldn't have believed the contents of the secret letter at all. He said bitterly: "If you want to blame me, blame me, it was I who advocated sending her to Yancheng before the palace change, and it was I who caused her to become like this." β
His pain was no less than Li Xuan's, he was even more uncomfortable when he saw Li Xuan lose his soul, he thought that sending her away was to protect her, and now what did he use to redeem it?
"Kill Chu Hong and send troops to the south, I won't stop you."
Li Xuan sat without a trace of anger, he barely stood up, staggered towards Qin Xi, and cried out in pain: "What if you kill Chu Hong?" What if the southern kingdom is destroyed? She can't live, she can't live anymore. β
