Chapter Ninety-Eight: Scattered into Mud
Gusu Hangu Pass.
Drinking horses to cross the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife. The flat sand is not gone, and the gloom is in the dark.
The weather changed suddenly, and the sky, which was originally fine, suddenly became gloomy.
Bai Yucheng has been weak since he was a child, and he is also extremely sensitive to the changes in this weather, and the old wounds on his body hurt badly in this cold weather.
This place has long been tired of the war, and there is no grass in a radius of 100 miles, and the yellow sand is rolling.
"Bai Yucheng, you're finally here."
Gongzi Yuxin stood on the high wall and said in a low voice. On the five-mile city wall, all the archers who came prepared, ready to go, were as powerful as the stormy waves, but there was only one sword, one person, standing under the city wall.
The young man trimmed his eyebrows tightly, and shouted loudly: "I came as promised, where is the person I want?" ”
"Heh, leave your bones, and she will naturally go to the Netherworld to accompany you!" With a wave of Gongzi Yuxin's hand, the soldiers in the city were ready to go, not giving Bai Yucheng a chance to breathe.
Under the order of Gongzi Yuxin, the soldiers of the Chinese army stepped forward in a neat step, and the mountain city wall squad advanced, shouting "kill" every three steps, and they were calmly rumbling forward. The terrible sound of bull's horns shook the valley, the cavalry on both wings roared to meet the attack, and the heavy infantry also strode unstoppably and arrogantly, like a black tide sweeping across the ground.
The momentum of black and the lonely and thin white, the strength of the two sides can no longer be described by the disparity.
Bai Yucheng indifferently threw out a few small steel balls from his cuffs, the sword was like a white snake spitting out a letter, hissing through the wind, the messy sword shadow was like a swimming dragon in mid-air, the sword qi was shocked, and the small steel balls scattered in the air were shocked out and fell into the black crowd.
".......Boom" in an instant, the bright yellow smoke cloud exploded in the crowd, and the originally dense crowd tore a huge opening, and the people who swarmed up all stopped, looking at the bloody corpses that appeared around them, and they didn't know what had just happened.
Fear, confusion, spread like a plague, and the momentum just now was swept away like a rainbow.
Killing people in an instant, without a shadow and invisible, I don't even know how I died, it's terrible.
"What are you doing in a daze? Attack! Gongzi Yuxin gritted his teeth and smashed his fist on the city wall.
He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and naturally saw the small steel ball thrown out of Bai Yucheng's sleeve, which ignited a bright spark the moment it rubbed against the sword body.
If he didn't guess wrong, Bai Yucheng should have made the thing called gunpowder into such a portable style, and then ignited it with the force of friction and threw it into the crowd.
Damn it! I thought I was confident that he would come alone, but I didn't expect him to have enough energy left.
I knew that when I caught him, I should have killed him outright.
Seeing that the cavalry under the city wall were dead and wounded, but he, Bai Yucheng, was still fresh and unhurried. Gongziyu angrily pulled Ji Lianmei out from behind him and put a knife on her neck.
"Bai Yucheng! If you hurt my person one more point, I will send her to Hell now!" ”
When Bai Yucheng heard this, he was in a big mess all of a sudden, although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, but the trembling sword in his hand completely exposed his panic and anger.
"Childe Yuxin, it's too despicable to use a woman as a shield."
Seeing Bai Yucheng's expression of wanting to be angry but unable to do anything, Gongzi Yuxin's heart was not to mention how proud he was.
Ji Lianmei's face was extremely pale, and compared with her blood-red clothes, her face was even more bloodless.
"I'm not a decent gentleman, as long as it works, what about the despicable tricks? How's it going, do you think about it? ”
A pair of thin and soft hands with blood stains slowly climbed up the sharp blades, and resisted the knife edge that was close to his neck. The blade of the knife suddenly sank into the fragile flesh, and the blood flowed down the blade of the knife, drop by drop, falling to the ground, stirring up a blood flower.
"Don't think about it, threaten him with me again, don't think about it." The girl said sullenly.
If it weren't for me, he would have been the ruler of the world, how could he be captured by you and used as a beast to play with and insult at will.
If it weren't for me, he would have breached the gates that day, and you would have been defeated by his men.
He so
I can't afford to repay the humiliation and hurt I have suffered, but at least, I will not use it for you again, and I will not die .......
"Are you crazy, woman?" Gongzi Yuxin looked at Ji Lianmei's red eyes, and there was a trace of fear.
Ji Lianmei's hand sank into the sharp blade inch by inch, and she forcibly removed the knife from her neck, and threw the knife under the city wall.
Coldly snorted a faint and tranquil line, grabbed Gongzi Yuxin's neck with one hand, and hit him with a fist. He dodged the move with a dodge, shattering her flying sleeve with a force.
But the punch landed on his face anyway, and the sharp nails cut through his face at once.
Gongzi Yuxin touched the blood that came out of his face, and his eyes were suddenly full of murderous aura.
"Tsk, I hate it when people hurt my face. If you don't take the road to heaven, then let me go to hell! ”
Gongzi Yuxin was full of strength and slapped Ji Lianmei's abdomen again. This palm gathered all his strength, Ji Lianmei had just miscarried, and her body was still fragile, this palm directly knocked her out, and the meridians of her limbs were almost broken, and she fell straight down the city wall.
Bai Yucheng is still fighting with those people. With such a high wall and this howling wind, I'm going to die.......
But that's fine.......
He fought for the throne for more than 20 years, but my previous efforts were ruined by me. Since all things started because of me, may it all end because of me. It is not in vain to have someone who has worked so hard for me.........
Bai Yucheng ran out of gunpowder on his body, so he could only keep wielding his sword and fighting in a group of people.
Seeing Ji Lianmei fall from the city wall, Bai Yucheng was furious, and the only remaining breath of internal force was scurrying around in his body, forming a huge invisible sound, which shook all the people around him and flew out, fell to the ground and kept coughing up blood, and even the sword in his hand was broken.
This sword was Bai Yucheng's mother's beloved thing during her lifetime, and he had always loved it very much, and now for that person, he actually broke it like this.
Bai Yucheng didn't bother to pick up the remains of the sword, and flew directly towards the city gate.
"Ahem, don't try to succeed!" Jing Man scrambled to get up from the ground, raised a battle axe in his hand and threw it out like a force marker.
This blow was impartial, only a crisp sound of bones shattering was heard, and Bai Yucheng's left foot was cut off so hard.
"Uh......." Bai Yucheng snorted, the two beautiful eyebrows twisted together, and his body suddenly lost his balance and departed from its original trajectory. The severance of his left foot seemed to be stabbed by a scorching knife, and a heart-wrenching pain spread all over his body. He gritted his teeth, supported his broken body and rushed to the city gate, taking Ji Lianmei, who was falling, into his arms.
All the burdens were relieved in an instant, and the pain that pierced the heart hit the whole body again, coupled with the impact of Ji Lianmei's fall, Bai Yucheng could no longer support it, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"Mercy, Ji mercy......" Bai Yucheng probed her snort, fortunately, she should have just fainted.
The girl's hands tightly covered her abdomen, and the heavy blood stains on the red clothes told Bai Yucheng that their children would never come back........
Bai Yucheng's hand climbed up Ji Lianmei's face. Have you endured this pain alone for the past few days?
"Hmph, it's all at this juncture, and I still have the heart to hug each other and hurt the spring and autumn." Gongzi Yuxin waved his hand and said, "Come on, release the arrow." ”
Thousands of crossbows were aimed at the two of them in an instant, and tens of thousands of arrows fell from the sky like heavenly fire meteors, densely with nowhere to escape, not to mention that Bai Yucheng also lost a leg.
Bai Yucheng felt the danger, kicked his right leg violently, and rolled out a few meters away with Ji Lianmei in his arms, and his right hand tightly grasped the broken sword buried in the yellow sand.
The pain in his left leg was terrible, and he supported his body little by little to stand up, raised the broken sword in his hand, and faced thousands of whistling arrows.
"Heh, I can still survive like this, I don't have the patience to play with you anymore!" Gongzi Yuxin personally opened his bow and set up the arrow, injecting the deep internal force into the arrow.
The first arrow was nailed into Bai Yucheng's left hand
The pain is no less than the pain of a broken leg and even more heart-wrenching, and the pain is so painful that even the scalp is numb and trembling.
The second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow.......
Chest, knees, arms....... Arrows are driven into people's joints, and no matter how strong willpower people are, their joints are wasted, and they are like marionettes.
Not........ It's starting to blur in front of you....... Bai Yucheng supported his body with the broken sword, and fell to the ground panting.
At this moment, the hand that could still be raised slightly suddenly became abnormally heavy, and his legs were numb, as if he was frozen, and he couldn't move.
Damn, why did you get sick at this time......
"Bai Yucheng is no longer good, give him a break."
Tens of thousands of arrows once again fell from the sky.
No, I won't, let you hurt her......
Bai Yucheng took a deep breath, picked up the arrow on the side, and plunged deeply into his other leg.
Only by stimulating the nerves with pain...... The body can barely move. He pounced on Hime, holding her tightly in his arms, allowing the arrow to pierce his back.
Tick.......
Is it water? It's hot. And such a whisper, who is it....... Crying?
Ji Lianmei slowly opened her eyes.
What caught my eye was a handsome face that was incomparably white, cold sweat flowed down the corners of his forehead to his neck, his lips were even paler as paper, and his deep eyes became blurred by pain.
"Bai Yucheng, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's okay......"
Ji Lianmei only felt that her back was wet, so she got up to check.
The hem of the snow-white gauze robe had been completely replaced by a blood, and Ji Lianmei's hands trembled, lifting the hem of the dress that covered her legs.
In such a mood, there is an indescribable fear.
The left leg below the ankle was all gone, and under the blurred flesh, a piece of white bone was faintly exposed, wrapped in a patch of blood. There were injuries everywhere on the body, and all the white clothes were impregnated.
"This ...... This is ....." Her vision was blurred, her hands clutched the clothes on her chest, and her heart was as if she had been slashed out one by one.
Bai Yucheng hugged Ji Lianmei tighter, blindfolded her, and comforted:
"Don't look, it's okay, it's okay......."
His voice was as thin as a gossamer, clearly draining the last of his strength.
The hot and humid liquid kept spilling out of her fingers, and her eyes could hide it, but she couldn't hide the pain in her heart.
"Bai Yucheng, what can I do to make you feel better....... It's okay to trade my legs. ”
"Fool, what a stupid thing to say." Bai Yucheng gently patted Ji Lianmei's head, "Since I was a child, I have suffered everything, just one leg, if it is broken, it will be broken, you are fine." ”
"Why, save me."
"In my life, there are two things that I regret very much. Burying a dry well to block your way out is one of them; Killing Shangqiu and destroying your pure heart is the second one. These two points alone are enough for me to fight everything to save you......"
Bai Yucheng's hand trembled, and he took out a letter from his arms.
"What is this?"
"Yes and away from the book." Bai Yucheng smiled, "My illness is an incurable disease, this time, all the way to my neck seems to be frozen, I think, today, I am definitely going to die." From the first day you arrived in Wuyue, I prepared this peace and departure book. It's just that later, after all this, I didn't intend to give you this letter again for the rest of my life.
But now, our marriage has been broken, and the love is also clear, I hope that after the lady is separated, she will recomb her sideburns, sweep her eyebrows beautifully, and skillfully show a slender posture, and select the lord of high-ranking officials. From now on, don't think of me again........"
The last words he left me in this world were not the common words "live well", but gave me a simple piece of paper and a book to marry him.......
