Chapter 129: Drinking Heavenly Hatred
Just before the three of them landed, the red light flashed in front of Zhou Yu's eyes, instantly illuminating the inn as if it were day, followed by a deafening loud "boom". The three people who were about to land were hit by the shock wave, flew horizontally for more than ten meters, and crashed into the building across the street before stopping.
Marsha grabbed Zhou Yu's body in the air and pressed it under him, and the rafters, rubble, and furniture fragments that were blown out by the shock wave were all blocked by him. There were a few muffled sounds, Zhou Yu felt a heat on his face, and a mouthful of blood spit on him after being hit hard, unconscious.
Zhou Yu, who was pressed under the gravel and Marsha, was dizzy, as if he had just opened his eyes after a hangover, and felt that the sky was spinning around, and everything was upside down and ghosted. He took a deep breath and shook his head.
Attacked. Not good, Borada!
His first thought was to save himself and take down Tosang's Borada. No, I have to go to Bolada and I don't know what happened to this kid. Zhou Yu, who staggered to his feet, could not stand on his feet and fell again. I fell down and got up again, holding on to the wall in my hand and touching the door of the inn. The inn had long since been blown apart, and only the gate was still standing, but it was already unrecognizable.
With a "whoosh" sound that broke the air, Zhou Yu, who was already swaying and barely maintaining his balance, was shot in the shoulder by a feather arrow and poured out of his back. Inertia brought him into a circle of 360 degrees, and the whole person was knocked to the ground by the feather arrow.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The sound of arrows raining through the night sky sounded from all directions, and just as Zhou Yu wanted to climb behind the ruins and hide behind the broken wall, a huge door panel blocked in front of him.
Dang, dang, when it was crisp in his ears, the feather arrow that should have shot him into a hornet's nest was blocked by the door panel, and the person holding the door panel shouted at Zhou Yu: "Run, my lord!" ”
It's Bambul. As soon as this kid stood up, he found that Zhou Yu had been attacked, and in a hurry, he picked up a blown up door panel and pounced to protect him.
The Metropolitan Governor was stunned, the impact of the explosion had not dissipated, the whirlwind was still continuing, he couldn't distinguish the direction, he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, he seemed to be in a daze to see the rooftops and tree tops at the heights, and the alleys in the distance were densely packed with people, holding something in his hands and running quickly towards him.
"Quick! Come on! Bambul, who was blocking him with his back to the door panel, was almost unable to hold on. Whoosh, whoosh, another round of arrow rain. This time Bambur was not so lucky, he was hit by several arrows in his thighs and calves exposed under the door panel, and his legs could no longer maintain balance, and the whole person fell to his knees with a thud. But this slave soldier is not a vegetarian either, he shouted, threw up the door panel a few inches and carried it on his shoulder, and always protected Zhou Yu's upper body with his sturdy side.
Borada and Marcha, whose life and death are uncertain, Bambul, who is exhausted, and Zhou Yu, whose life is hanging by a thread, are afraid that this time they are really on the verge of death. Zhou Yu's mind went blank. At the last moment, a white horse neighed across the sea of fire, galloping from behind Zhou Yu, and the Dadu Governor, whose eyelids were about to close, felt his throat tighten, and someone grabbed him by the neck and carried him onto the horse, and his clothes strangled him so that he almost suffocated.
After the owner of the white horse succeeded, he pulled the reins of the horse, the horse's feet off the ground and turned the horse's head in the air, kicked, kicked, and the two horses galloped in the opposite direction. The sound of the pursuers and the crossbows did not abate in the slightest, and it was evident that it had been chasing for a while before gradually quieting down. Zhou Yu could only hear the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves and the whirring of the wind.
Who saved him, this was the last question that came to his mind when he woke up, and he immediately fainted.
I don't know how long it took. The Grand Governor felt a drop of something cold cross his face.
"Borada! Marsha! Zhou Yu was excited, and one turned over and sat up. He looked left and right, and he was lying on a riverbed. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse overhead, and the stars are dotted in the distance.
There was a man squatting in front of him, who was taking water from the stream and filling his bag, and his white shirt was very eye-catching.
"It's you?" Zhou Yu spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the violent impact and bumps along the way finally fed back.
"Why can't it be me?" The white-shirted young man took a few sips of water and handed over the water bladder.
"Y-Why did you save me?" Zhou Yu looked at the prisoner in front of him in confusion, and even forgot to take the water bladder.
The prisoner held the hand of the water bladder, and Zhou Yu took it with a sigh, first poured a large mouthful and rinsed his mouth, and then drank it in a big gulp, until the water bladder was drunk clean.
"Save you? It's to save myself! The prisoner's face sank and he said solemnly.
"Isn't it yours that killed me?"
"No, not even Seema's."
"What? I don't understand what you're saying! Zhou Yu shook his head in confusion, he really couldn't accept the prisoner's answer. If you want to curse him to death, say that Sima is the second, then no one dares to recognize the first.
"It's Lady Filly!" The prisoner replied to him lightly.
"W-What? It's her? Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and his mouth was long enough to fit into his fist. Although the first wave of attacks was indeed initiated by Fili's personal bodyguard, Tosang, until a few seconds ago, the Grand Governor did not associate his assassination with Fili, only to speculate that Tosang had taken refuge with Sima.
"Why can't it be her? Hehe! The prisoner laughed awkwardly, and the moonlight shone on his face, which turned white.
"Isn't she—isn't she Philena's aunt, Seema's nemesis?"
"My aunt is not fake, and my rival is not fake, but I want your life to be true. Sima is not a good thing, he is hell-bent on winning the game, he is domineering, he is devastated and even threatens my people's lives to be loyal to him. But Philip is more vicious and murderous, do you think she's back this time to preside over the big picture? Then you couldn't be more wrong! ”
"Appearing in Drunken Flower City at such a delicate moment, she has only one purpose!" The prisoner paused and took a deep breath.
"She will kill everyone and crown herself king."
"What? How is this—how is this possible? ”
"How could it not be? What you see and hear is not necessarily the truth. The truth, only the dead will tell the truth. Do you know how the old king died? ”
"How, how did you die? Didn't Sima poison her? ”
"Haha, you're naïve. He really didn't like this father, but he wasn't mad enough to kill him, and besides, what threat could an incapacitated old man pose to him, and he didn't let it go? ”
"Is that so?"
"That's right, it was Philip who sent someone to poison her own brother. Because after the old king returned to heaven, she was able to appear in Drunken Flower City justifiably. Only you will believe that she made it up, she won the final of the Tianmu Hunting Contest that year, went to Slaughter Dream City, slept with Wang Li, and returned to Zen to give the throne to her brother! ”
Zhou Yu bent down and picked up two handfuls of cold stream water and put them on his face, feeling that it was not strong enough, he lay down and immersed his head in the stream, forcibly letting the stream water enter and exit from his mouth and nose wantonly, washing the illusion in his mind.
With a bang, he raised his head and threw a splash of water.
"What? Something unbelievable? ”
"Well, but I don't know why. I don't think you're lying to me. Zhou Yu stretched out a hand and spread out his palm.
The prisoner smiled, and instead of shaking his hand, he turned his hands behind his back.
"But I still don't understand why you want to save me."
"Sima is dead!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap that shook the legs of the Metropolitan Governor.
"Dead? How did he die? ”
"Just before you were attacked, you were found dead at the dinner table. The person who can poison him closely, what a close person it must be. Think about it, how well-intentioned the old fox is that Philip has buried in the city of drunken flowers and the palace, and the nails she has buried are countless and pervasive! At this point, the prisoner cursed angrily, and it was clear that Sima's death had touched him a lot.
"When I heard the news that Sima was strangled to death, I rushed to your hiding place as soon as possible, and I wanted to inform you to escape, but I didn't expect to be a step too late."
"How do you know where I live?"
"I've been sending someone to keep an eye on Fili's movements, and guess what?" The prisoner paused.
"The people I sent out found that there was a maid who sent a message to Fillie every day! Just follow her from afar, and finally find your whereabouts! ”
Servant girl? Zhou Yu gasped. No, the five girls he bought back actually had spies hidden in them, if it weren't for the mystery revealed by the prisoner just now, he wouldn't have known that he was so dead. However, this makes sense, and Tosang's search naturally benefited from the news revealed by this undercover agent.
"Who?" A cold light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes. Either way, the governor had settled the account with her. Now the fate of Borada, Bambul, and Masha is uncertain, and if these people have three longs and two shorts, I will let her survive and not die. Zhou Yu gritted his back molars with a squeak.
"It's the one who's as strong as a man!"
"Narcissus!" Zhou Yu clenched his left hand into a fist and punched it in the palm of his right palm.
"Okay, I advise you to let the revenge matter go. Thinking about how to escape and survive is real. The prisoner stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance, where clusters of firelight in the depths of the dense forest lined up in a straight line, fluttering and jumping, apparently pursued in this direction. After saying that, the prisoner turned over and got on his horse, turned his horse's head and was about to leave.
"Hey, prisoner!"
"What, what's the matter?"
"Thank you!"
"Don't think too much about it, if I save you, I will save myself and my people. I hope you have a way to escape and kill Philie back. If you die like this, I and all the Kejian people won't live for a few more days. Drive! The sound of horses' hooves faded from near and far, and the young man on the white horse disappeared into the night.
Zhou Yu stood in the river bay, his mind was like a rope. I can't believe that the person who killed me turned out to be Phili; The one who betrayed himself turned out to be Narcissus; The person who saved himself was actually a prisoner who was still in danger during the day.
If this is the case, the matter that Narcissus revealed to himself in the secret passage was naturally at the behest of Philip. She wants to use the hand of Philena to get rid of Sima, or even if Phirina and herself are not capable of bringing down Shima, they can at least make the two sides fight, divert attention and create space for her to plan a coup.
Whether Sima wins or Philena wins, Phili can send someone to kill one of them, creating the illusion of sibling cannibalism and blaming the other. At this time, the envoy was still in the city of drunken flowers, and when she learned that a tragedy had occurred after the game, how could she stand idly by? The sinners will be escorted to Slaughter Dream City to accept the punishment of the Water King.
As for why he killed Sima instead of Philena, Zhou Yu had two guesses: first, by killing Sima and leaving Philena, Water King Li would at least get a plaything, so as not to anger the entire Saurasia. And he had only one result of holding Philena, that is, Philip rightfully ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne. Because Sima is dead, Fu Jia and Ka Shujie are also nominally dead, and it is impossible to suddenly "live" to participate in the competition for the throne, otherwise it will be a crime of deception and will not live to ascend the throne.
The second possibility is even more bizarre when you think about it. Although Zhou Yu didn't know why Fei Li ran away from Drunken Flower City back then, she was separated for 20 years. But if what the prisoner said is true, he really doesn't need to deceive himself, then there must be a grievance between Philip and the old king and queen that is unknown to outsiders, just from the fact that she knows the secret passage (now think about Narcissus has been lying, the location of the secret passage is what Philip told her to reveal to Zhou Yu when she found an opportunity) can show that the story in this is definitely not as simple as worshipping his deceased wife.
In other words, she killed Sima and left Philena to suffer the living sin, which gave Sima a good time, and it can be regarded as "benevolence and righteousness". And for Felena, how hateful, hateful, and cruel she must be to design such a good show, not only to promote herself to the sky in one step, but also to let this girl be ravaged by the countless claws of Dream Slaughter City all day long, and finally destroyed to death.
Could it be that she did this to get revenge on Philena's mother? Killing her husband and torturing her daughter is what a blood feud. Now Zhou Yu understands that Fei Lina said that her mother died of illness when she was young, and it seems that this is also a story, and the real mastermind behind it is here. Perhaps, it is the "wet nurse" in Narcissus's mouth.
Calm, calm. Zhou Yu forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes and imagined that he was now standing in a confined space where he couldn't see his fingers, and all the clues appeared in front of him in the form of light. I don't know if I killed my brother if I took the wrong path before, and the next choice will be an ambush on all sides and a life of death.
The Immortal Army is thousands of miles away, and now it is on its way to snipe the envoy, and it is definitely too late to dispatch.
Phirina must have been imprisoned by Philip by now, washed up as a congratulatory gift and presented to the Water King. This shameless woman is really shameless to come home, not only did she accompany the water king, but also willingly prepared playthings for him.
Prisoner, Ke Jianren, from the words of the prisoner, it is not difficult for Zhou Yu to hear that he is returning to the Eastern Continent to prepare to meet the troops that Fei Li is about to send. The prisoner is nothing more than hoping that Zhou Yu can find a way to restrain Fei Li for a moment and buy a little more time for his people, which is the real reason why he saved Zhou Yu.
The sound of people, horses, and torches crackling in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Yu, who was in a mess, knew that this place was by no means a place to stay for a long time, so he tightened his coat that was broken into rags, and ran towards the east towards the morning sun.
