Chapter 41: Misleading (1)
Liu Yu almost stepped on the horse's back as soon as he finished speaking. The sturdy handsome horse galloped quickly, quickly passing through the gate tower of Guangling City, and headed towards the east of the city.
Although the name of Inviting Moon Lake is good, it is a backwater lake with a small area and is overgrown with aquatic plants.
It's a remote and sparsely populated area.
Earlier, in order to settle the displaced people, Xie Yan ordered the guards to choose this piece to build thatched huts, and now the displaced people have adapted to live in peace and are gradually becoming lively.
Not far from the shore of this lake, stands a tall white locust tree. Autumn is already in the season, but the fallen leaves are rare.
When Liu Yu arrived, there were guards under the tree, and a touch of red dress was faintly visible. He rolled over and jumped down in a panic, and the guards with their backs to the locust trees automatically made way for a passage.
At the innermost part of the passage, Xie Yan was half-kneeling in front of the woman, supporting the ground with one hand and supporting the woman's chin with the other, carefully turning her face around.
The woman's face, which was burned beyond recognition, appeared in front of him without warning. It was like a blow to the head, smashing his eyes black and stumbling under his feet.
The guards beside him helped him in time.
But he jerked away and stumbled over to the woman in the big red suit. His hand trembled and stretched out, but it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
If it weren't for this auspicious suit, which he prepared with his own hands, he would never believe that it was real.
"Tianjin ......" Liu Yu's voice was hoarse, and he choked up and called out the name that made his heart move.
His voice made Xie Yan freeze all over.
Not to mention that Liu Yu couldn't believe it, how could he want to see Tianjin die so tragically. With his familiarity with Tianjin, this corpse matched her body perfectly, except for the face that was already unrecognizable, there was really no flaw.
"Tianjin ......" Liu Yu's haggard face has deep eye sockets, his eyes are cloudy, and his face is dull.
His palms were pressed to the ground, and his fingers dug deep into the dirt, as if he didn't know the pain. When the marriage contract was made that day, he was so high-spirited, but now his face is like ashes.
Tears fell uncontrollably.
The men in the capital don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't been sad yet.
He didn't even dare to touch her, as if the corpse in front of him was an illusion if he didn't. His Tianjin is still alive and well, she is shy and timid, waiting for him to marry her with great anticipation.
Why...... Why be so cruel!
Xie Yan's hand holding the female corpse's chin fell, and he held his head high, forcibly suppressing the tears that were about to overflow.
The female corpse's jaw was unsupported, and her head hung limply.
Liu Yu's heart twitched fiercely.
"Xie Yan!" His eyes were red and his gaze was fierce, and he suddenly grabbed him by the collar and pressed him to the ground, "That's how you take care of Tianjin for me!" ”
Xie Yan subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was speechless in his accusatory words. He froze, motionless, staring at the corpse with a desolate gaze.
"Presumptuous!"
Deputy general Cheng Feng kicked Liu Yu away.
Liu Yu got up and pounced again, Cheng Feng vigilantly pressed his hand on the matching sword on his waist, the sword flashed, and he was about to draw out the long sword, but he felt an external force and pressed his sword hilt back hard.
Xie Yan glanced at him with a heavy gaze, "Get out of the way, don't interfere." ”
"But the general ......"
"Get out of the way!"
Cheng Feng retreated helplessly, but with a warning in his eyes, he glared at Liu Yu viciously.
Liu Yu was already crazy, no one stopped him, he successfully pressed Xie Yan, and swung his fist at his face.
Xie Yan's face was instantly colored, and the corners of his mouth slowly overflowed with blood. The blood stimulated Liu Yu even more, his fists rose and fell, and his mouth continued to curse.
"The dignified general of Zhenguo, is the battle of Weishui so majestic...... Phew! What kind of bullshit general Zhenguo, who can't even hold a small Guangling City, still talks about Zhenguo? You can't even protect a woman, and your exploits are all picked up......"
His fists became more and more urgent, but Xie Yan's body became more and more stiff. That's a good point! What bullshit General Zhenguo, his military exploits are all deception.
He had hurt her so deeply, and now he couldn't even save her life.
Xie Yan, Xie Yan, what kind of face do you have to survive between heaven and earth!
I don't know how many times he waved, and when Liu Yu stopped panting, half of Xie Yan's face was swollen.
He didn't move, his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Cheng Feng, who witnessed the whole process, finally couldn't help but kick Liu Yu over again, "Where did the barbarians come from!" I can't protect my own women, and I have to blame others, shameless. ”
Cheng Feng quickly stepped forward, carefully helped Xie Yan up, looked at his red and swollen side face, and said aggrievedly for him: "General, this person is a madman, what do you care about him!" ”
yes, he's a madman...... Liu Yu was in great pain, and he didn't know that Tianjin's death had nothing to do with Xie Yan. Those water thieves are coming for him, and Tianjin is involved by him.
What right does he have to resent others?
Liu Yu trembled and carefully hugged Tianjin into his arms, he gently arranged her face, and pulled his burnt hair to the back of her head. Staring earnestly at her face, as if to keep in mind this heart-wrenching scene.
Her jade-like face was burned to a charcoal black, her two crescent-like eyebrows were bare, and the skin around her eye sockets was completely glued together, which was extremely ugly. The bridge of his nose was high and swollen, and the lips that had made him kiss linger were even more crooked to one side......
Liu Yu hugged her and finally cried bitterly.
His head was buried in the socket of her neck, and his hands held her tightly into his arms.
"The revenge of killing his wife is not shared! I, Liu Yu, swear hereby that I will cut those rampant water thieves with a thousand knives and pay back all the pain! ”
At this time, Xie Yan on one side slowly opened his eyes, his eyes touched the picture of him hugging the corpse, and he couldn't bear to turn his face away.
"Liu Gongzi," he said hoarsely, "women pay attention to appearance...... Let's let her be buried in the ground. ”
Liu Yu's back immediately stiffened.
Xie Yan pushed Cheng Feng away, "You all go back." ”
"General, let your subordinates follow you." Cheng Feng guarded against Liu Yu and refused to leave.
He is Xie Yan's personal guard, followed him from birth to death, and has seen the demeanor of Princess Jin. Tianjin's appearance and Princess Jin were almost carved out of the same mold, and even he almost thought that Princess Jin was still alive.
Xie Yan is so painful, he can understand it best.
Seeing Tianjin marrying someone else with such a familiar face is like a knife. What has been ruined now is not only this appearance, but also all of Xie Yan's sustenance.
"Not necessarily!" Xie Yan pushed him away again.
The autumn wind is whining, the cold wind hits people, looking up at the sky is dark and dark, the heaven and the earth seem to have been connected, and the dry yellow shore trembles in the wind, and the eyes are vast.
The two of them did not say a word and buried Tianjin under the white locust tree.
Watching the soil gradually cover up the red dress, Xie Yan's heart ached again, "What about the broken flute, bury it together." ”
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "She didn't have a broken flute on her, she must have lost it, and when I find it, I will return it to her again." ”
Xie Yan closed his eyes and remained silent.
