In the carriage were a few of Hu Ru's special white feather arrows, a few pieces of single clothes that had never been touched by anyone, and the rest were some inconsequential sundries. With a plan in mind, I moved to the door to make sure that no one was paying attention, turned around and quickly threw what I needed out of the car, and jumped out of the carriage myself.

Untied the leash between the horse and the carriage, and carefully observed it again, but was surprised to find that Zong Zhengxu's gaze seemed to be about to fall, and he hurriedly squatted down, only praying that he did not find anything abnormal.

Although the soldiers who fell just now were all the night soldiers, Huan Ke and them would definitely not be able to support it for long. At that moment, he quickened his movements, tore his shirt into thin strips of cloth, and found a few suitable stones to entangle one end of the strip of cloth, and the other end was tied to the tip of the feather arrow.

Weighing my weight and inhaling deeply, I hid in the hidden part of the carriage and stood up, ignoring the pain of the stones in my palms, and slowly raised the feather arrows. The battlefield is not far away, and if you want to throw an arrow from here, plus the weight of the stone, you should be six or seven times sure to attract the attention of the soldiers of the night on the periphery. At this time, they should not have time to take a closer look.

Silently cheering myself up, I bit my lower lip, raised my arm to the limit, and threw the arrow in that direction. The first arrow fell a little far, the second and third were a little closer, and the last arrow that was about to be thrown finally fell into the crowd of people on the periphery, and even hit one man in the arm.

The night soldier who noticed a few feather arrows was obviously stunned, and immediately shouted after realizing that this arrow was made by Hu Ru: "It's not good, Hu Ru has an ambush!" ”

Huan Ke, who was fighting, Zong Zhengxu, who was watching the battle from a distance, and everyone else were stunned for a moment. Now is the time! I picked up the last arrow I had left, whispered an apology to the horse in front of me, and raised my hand to plunge the arrow into the horse. The black horse was in pain, raised its hooves and neighed, lost the shackles of the carriage lasso, and rushed straight into the crowd. The soldiers of the Pan Night, who were originally besieging Huan Ke and the others, were immediately chaotic, and immediately scattered and fled.

Huan Ke was also startled, and after seeing the horse clearly, he suddenly turned to the side of the carriage, rushed to Zhufeng and the others roared, and rushed over eagerly to sweep away the obstacles in front of him.

"Huan Ke!" Seeing that he was about to jump into the carriage, I hurriedly appeared to call him, he turned around slightly, and then came with an arrow, and grabbed my shoulder: "Are you okay?" Did it hurt somewhere? ”

I shook my head, smiled comfortingly, explained what had just happened, and looked at the fight again, and couldn't help but speed up my speech: "It's too late to elaborate now." Hurry up and kidnap me, so as to force Zong Zhengxu to withdraw his troops. ”

"Hijacking you?" Huan Ke was suspicious, and then reacted and resolutely denied: "No! The sword has no eyes, what if it really hurts? And since Zong Zhengxu has gone back on his word, can you guarantee that he will be obedient by coercing yourself? When it is difficult to ride a tiger, don't you have to ......?"

"Zhufeng, they won't be able to hold on!" I also hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, "Since I am an indispensable piece of chess in Zong Zhengxu's chess game, at least he will not abandon me now." And if only he had not been coerced......

Taking advantage of Huan Ke's turn to look at the battle situation, I turned around and drilled into the crook of his arm, grabbed his hand holding the sword, and used my strength to cross the sword to my neck: "Then I will also use this life to ask him for an explanation." ”

Huan Ke was caught off guard by me, and was busy taking the sword away, but I held his hand tightly. The blade was extremely close, and Huan Ke was afraid that fighting with me again would hurt me, so he had no choice but to unload his strength. In fact, there is still some distance from the people who are in the night, but since I have to do a full set of acting, I show my "sincerity" to Zong Zhengxu.

Those who were closer had noticed our side and were so frightened that they did not dare to move again. I had expected them to scream, but I had to do it myself. Motioning for Huan Ke to move forward, I cleared my throat and raised my voice: "Stop it for Ben Diji!" ”

The originally noisy crowd gradually calmed down like a wave, and everyone turned to me and Huan Ke, and the movement of the swords in their hands stagnated. Zong Zhengxu stopped in place for a moment before walking this way, his expression was difficult to distinguish, but his steps were not impatient.

Passing past the four Zhufeng and the Panye Soldiers, who were still facing each other, Zong Zhengxu walked straight in front of us, gathering ten steps away, unwilling to take a step closer to each other.

"What does Emperor Lingyue mean?" He spoke slowly, and somehow, these six words seemed to float in the air for a long time before reaching my ears.

"Da Honglu is very strategic, don't you know what Lingyue means?"

I still firmly put my hand on Huan Ke's hand, he was silent, and Zong Zhengxu didn't answer, so I immediately raised my voice so that everyone could hear: "Ben Diji has been kidnapped, and everyone in the night will not withdraw their troops immediately?" Don't you want to make Ben Diji's body different? ”

The soldiers of the night were all uneasy, but they only moved slightly, without the order of Zongzhengxu, and did not dare to make a big move.

"Why is Emperor Lingyue bothering?" Zong Zhengxu's face was still pale, and he didn't even blink his eyes: "Xu just wants to leave Hu Ru as a brother, and then he will let Emperor Lingyue and the King of Pingzhou leave unharmed." Why did Emperor Lingyue ...... You! ”

The sound of our conversation was only audible to the three of us, and the people behind Zong Zhengxu had begun to agitate. The more time passed, the more suspicious it became, and I made a ruthless decision, and with a sudden force in my hand, the blade of the sword cut through the skin, and I could feel the blood flowing down instantly.

Although Huan Ke was always on guard, he had to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield, and he only had time to slightly retract his sudden move towards me, and whispered in my ear. Zong Zhengxu was also caught off guard, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and all eyes were attracted in an instant.

It hurt more than what I was prepared in my heart, I bit my lower lip tightly, and I didn't care that there was blood between my teeth, and the strength of my hand did not decrease, and the word "retirement" was squeezed out between my lips.

Zong Zhengxu's eyes changed suddenly, ruthless and resentful, and worried, I don't know which emotion is superior, but he is quite excited: "They are just meeting you in Pingshui, they are just the most ordinary soldiers!" Today I will kill a man, and you will pay with your own life; If I want the lives of tens of millions of people in the future, how can you be equal to persecution?! ”

"If Lingyue dies here today," my face will be pale, my neck will be in sharp pain, and I will be distracted and laugh at my weakness, "it will all be due to Dahonglu's refusal to withdraw his troops and his insistence on going his own way." Even if the emperor does not dare to punish the prince because of the prime minister, Liang Hong will not let the son go. At that time, on the one hand, there is a wide night world at your fingertips, and on the other hand, a son who is not very close, which side does the prime minister think? ”

Zong Zhengxu didn't expect me to say this, and his face turned pale instantly. He only said that I was soft-hearted and wanted to save Zhufeng and others, but he didn't expect that I had the intention of burning jade. If I die, Zong Zhengxu will naturally be unable to escape the blame, and in order to express his position to Liang Hong, his position as a great Honglu will definitely not be kept. Who is the real person in charge of the night, a discerning person can know at a glance, and Zong Zhengxu is a powerful help, Xiao Xuan will not let go of this good opportunity, and will definitely ask Meng Deng for Zong Zhengxu's life. If Zong Zheng Gengfu didn't do it, he would offend Liang Hong, and it would be difficult to usurp the throne in the future. According to Zongzheng Geng's ruthlessness, there is almost no suspense about the right to protect the child.

"In this way, Childe will not be able to kill the tens of millions of people in his imagination, and Lingyue naturally does not need to risk his life."

I'm not ruthless, let alone a bodhisattva, and sometimes I can even say how poisonous it is, and now I plan to do this, if I die, Zong Zhengxu will not live either. The decision was effortless, and I didn't even think about what he would think of me, whether we would hate each other for the rest of our lives. The glimmer of hope that only exists between me and Zong Zhengxu, the only possibility that remains, is finally because my heart is like a snake and scorpion at this moment, and it will never be restored.

So far, I thought that I had not lived up to my original intention, but I finally came to this point. When it is the most difficult to rest, don't say three glasses and two light wines, I am afraid that there is nothing in the world that can beat the wind at night. The wild goose has passed, is sad, knows all the autumn thoughts and hatred, but does not know each other in the old days; Yi Yanshan, alone, flowing water and falling flowers in spring, it is easy to see and difficult to see.

I thought that Zong Zhengxu only responded to the sentence "affectionate and empty hatred since ancient times", but I never thought that to this day, I can also say to him, "ruthless but annoyed by affection".

Zong Zhengxu's face was gloomy, his fists hanging at his side were clenched, and his green tendons were exposed. Huan Ke moved slightly behind me so that I could lean against him. After a long time when no one spoke, I turned my eyes and stopped looking at Zong Zhengxu, and looked at those soldiers, regardless of Hu Ru in the night: "If the prince wants to seek great things, it is inevitable that he will be disdainful of mortals. However, human life is in danger, and no one has the right to take it away. Lingyue is not afraid that someone will die for herself, but she is afraid that someone will die in vain. Ling Yue's words have come to this point, please Da Honglu, "I raised my left hand and grabbed the tip of the sword, and used a hard force to press inward, and the blood spread, I forcibly held back the dizziness, regardless of Huan Ke's obstruction, and looked at Zong Zhengxu's eyes as dark as the night sea, "Retreat." ”

The eyes are intertwined, and the love and hatred are extinguished. Although Zong Zhengxu still seemed to be motionless, I knew that he was trembling. The bloody gas became heavier, and I gradually lost my strength, holding on to not fainting, and stubbornly staring at him. It was a long time before he spoke slowly, but his voice was hoarse and did not hide his depression: "There will be a day...... You'll know ......"

He stopped looking at me and closed his eyes: "Human life is the most despised thing in the world. And today my compromise ......"

He turned to leave, walking very slowly, but he yelled as he took the fifth step, unwilling to vent with it, and the mountains and rivers shook and reverberated for a long time. These two words are extremely simple and heavy, and they are the last blow that crushes me, with a heartache and a fatal wound:

"Retire! ——”

It was finally completely dark in front of me, I no longer resisted the pain in my neck to the bones, I was no longer stubborn and stubborn, and let the figure in front of me gradually become blurry and empty, the corners of my eyes and lips were bitter, and I fell softly, and was firmly absorbed into my arms by Huan Ke.

The last thing I saw was Zong Zhengxu's resolute and unhesitating figure that was gradually distant, Huan Ke's anxious and unpredictable silent eyes, and the bright red and bloody maple leaves in the tall wood mountains and forests in the distance, which disappeared with the wind, like extremely bloody tears, I don't know where to fall and where to rot.
