Chapter 218: Finale (Part II)
From Luyang City to Qintong direction, there is a deep canyon with abrupt terrain about ten miles of road, because of its special climate, often half a valley is sunny and half a valley rains, so it is named Sunny and Rainy Valley.
There is a small village under the clear rain valley, originally lived in more than a dozen families, and later because Dugu Ao was ordered by the old emperor, intending to slaughter the people who were "infected with the plague", so these dozen families moved to the village with the team of Yin Linxi to transfer the masses, and now what can be seen in the clear and rainy valley can be seen, except for the refreshing breeze that cruises in the valley all the year round and the large white cotton that the villagers have not harvested because they left in a hurry, there are only a few dilapidated old houses leaning against the end of the valley.
At this moment, the scene in front of me was empty, even though the silver flowers on both sides of the road were gorgeous, but in this dark valley it looked particularly desolate.
"Your Highness, didn't you say that the enemy has at least two hundred people? Where are the people? Why haven't I seen any of them? ”
Qian Xu, who was sitting on horseback, kicked the horse's belly, and looked at the man who was riding in front of him with his back to him in the middle of the large silver flowers, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and behind him at this moment was more than forty iron cavalry soldiers wearing Xuanyi armor and with serious expressions.
The group marched towards the afterglow of the sunset at the end of the long valley, the iron hooves of the war horses stepped out of the rhythmic "da-da" sound, which seemed very abrupt in this empty valley, and the road under their feet was lined with a long white river that stretched to the end of the red sun... The wind blows gently, causing layers of ripples, and the swaying white petals reflect the fiery color of the sky, looking like a bright golden lotus.
However, from an angle that everyone couldn't see, Yin Linxi retracted his gaze to look around, and couldn't help frowning, and a pair of ink-colored eyes that refracted a little dazzling light were actually full of melancholy.
Qian Xu didn't know why, but when he saw that Yin Linxi hadn't replied to his words for a long time, he stepped forward with a worried face, came to his side and asked, "Why don't you answer me?" I'm asking you, is the intelligence true? If it is true, then this place can not stay any longer, this is a valley, the terrain is higher than the valley floor on both sides, if there is really an enemy, it is very easy to hide ambushes here, and we walk in the valley, there is no shelter on both sides, if we fight, we will definitely be wrapped into dumplings, it is a big loss! So you should leave as soon as possible. ”
"Leave?" Yin Linxi looked at Qian Xu sideways.
The beautiful face suddenly became half-bright and half-dark in the afterglow of the sunset, and a pair of eyes as dark as Gutan looked at Qian Xu like this, and only sneered for a while, "If it is really as you said, we have already entered the scope of each other's surveillance, and if we want to get out easily, I'm afraid it's impossible!" The only way to do this is to keep going! ”
"This..."Qian Xu hesitated a little on his face, and after seeing Yin Linxi's expression, he finally lowered his head silently, and clenched the Xuantong sword hanging from his waist.
After the expression on his face became solemn, Yin Linxi suddenly changed his words and said, "But don't worry, even if you, the victorious general, suddenly make a mistake, isn't this still me?" I had already sent people to find out the situation before I entered the valley, and there were really few people in the valley except us. ”
"What?" Qian Xu's face moved, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Do you know about bluffing?" Yin Linxi raised his lips and smiled, but his eyes gradually became fierce when he turned his head to look around, "I'm afraid that the other party is taking advantage of the low terrain and dark light of the valley to create an illusion for our patrol soldiers." ”
Qian Xu became more and more confused after hearing this, "Do you mean that we are being teased?" There is no such thing as two hundred soldiers at all? ”
Yin Linxi didn't say whether it was or not, which caused Qian Xu to be angry, "Who dares to do this?" Are you tired of being alive? ”
"No matter how many people there are on the other side, in short, his purpose..."
Speaking of this, Yin Linxi's voice stopped abruptly.
After a pause, the fierce look in his eyes added a little, "Have you smelled anything?" ”
"Smell?"
Qian Xu took a deep breath in confusion, and after carefully distinguishing it, he suddenly said in shock, "It's a peach leaf!" This is the taste of the peach leaves after being burned, and it is a deadly toxin! ”
Immediately, Qian Xu's face was chaotic and he tightened the reins to turn the horse under his crotch around, and shouted at the iron cavalry soldiers behind him, "Don't smoke this cigarette, this smoke is poisonous!" ”
Listening to Qian Xu's words, the soldiers who were originally serious raised their hands one after another to cover their lips and noses tightly.
But the crowd ignored the horses they were riding underneath.
Animals are already much weaker than humans, and they have been in the valley for a while, and those horses breathe much thicker than humans, and naturally inhale more toxins.
Therefore, almost at the same time as Qian Xu's words, the horse could not bear the spread of toxins in his body and fell on a muddy path among the silver flowers, and the toxins in his body made the horse's heart contract violently, followed by convulsions like sobs.
Under the burning sky, dozens of horses did not even have the strength to neigh, and their eyes looked at their masters with pain, and their sad eyes seemed to become the silent plea for help of the animals, and after a while, their heads sank, leaving only a cold corpse.
As a result, the originally neat and solemn team fell into a panic, and the iron cavalry soldiers who had lost their horses were already in a mess.
Qian Xu was about to speak out angrily when he saw this, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a muffled sound from behind him.
Qian Xu couldn't help but turn around and look, but what he saw in front of him was Yin Linxi's white face falling in the middle of the silver flowers.
"Your Highness!"
Qian Xu's face immediately tightened, and after a poignant exhalation, he immediately stepped forward to support Yin Linxi, seeing that his face was becoming more and more pale, and there was unconcealed horror in his voice, "You... You can't be poisoned by peach smoke, right? ”
Yin Linxi frowned, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his excellent face, which gradually became pale as paper, but he did not answer Qian Xu's question that he asked knowingly.
Qian Xu saw that the symptoms of poison deepened, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he hurriedly helped Yin Linxi to the right way, "Your Highness, cheer up, I'll take you out of here!" ”
After that, Qian Xu took the lead in getting up, and tried to pull Yin Linxi on the ground up several times, but his own body suddenly became weak at this time.
"What the hell is going on?"
Qian Xu shook his dizzy head, and he wanted to help Yin Linxi's body up but was extremely uncooperative, and he fell uncontrollably to the muddy ground.
"The more you struggle, the more painful it becomes, I advise you to wait here obediently for death!"
At this time, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in from the mouth of the valley, followed by several people who looked like guards.
Yin Linxi gasped and barely supported his upper body, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the masked middle-aged man through the struggling iron cavalry soldiers.
"Father..."
It's him! Even if he turned to ashes, Yin Linxi recognized the ruthless man who killed his mother.
"Little Tuan'er!"
At this moment, the old emperor was slowly walking towards him, and a bewitching and strange smile was drawn up on his lips hidden under the face towel, but his slightly cloudy eyes undisguised his arrogant killing intent.
"Little Tuan'er, little Tuan'er..."
The old emperor muttered twice, and his footsteps stood beside Yin Linxi.
Immediately, as if falling into a memory, his narrow eyes looked at Yin Linxi's painful appearance fixedly, and his tone was extremely pleasant, "Speaking of which, this milk name is still chosen by me for you!" Because you were born white and round, it was like a white rice ball, so cute and tight! I still remember that your mother also liked this name at the beginning! ”
The old emperor's voice was very brisk, even mixed with a little nostalgia, and it sounded like he was greeting him.
Yin Linxi raised his eyelids slightly, but saw that the old emperor's eyes were full of hatred, and there was no hint of ease.
Immediately after, he grimaced again, and continued viciously, "It's just that no one would have imagined that the original little group would become a person like you!" Calculate the exhaustion of the organs, step by step! Have you ever thought you'd be where you are today? Have you ever thought about me? I still remember that you were the most painful person in the past! But you just ate inside and outside to help that evil beast usurp my dragon throne, take my world, and even kill me? You are truly my good son! In order to please that evil animal, did you ever think that you would end up like this today when you were doing all these rebellious things? ”
The old emperor stared at the scarlet eyes, said with a very gloomy posture on his face, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed strangely, "But no matter what, you are still the same as your dead queen mother, after all, you are just someone else's dog!" Whether it was when she went to the king of Jin for me, or now you are willing to be a dog, your mother and son are exactly the same, they are just someone else's dog! ”
"You!"
Although Yin Linxi understood that the old emperor was deliberately provoking himself when he mentioned Empress Lian, but when he heard the old emperor insult his mother like this, Yin Linxi's anger still couldn't be suppressed, "I warn you, don't insult my queen mother again!" Because people like you don't deserve her! ”
"Oh? Warn? ”
The old emperor raised his eyes in confusion, raised his foot and stomped on Yin Linxi fiercely, "I'm afraid you haven't recognized the current situation yet, right?" Do you have what it takes? I'm going to kill you, it's easy! Besides, am I wrong? The biggest mistake I did was to marry that slut and give birth to you wolf cub! Your mother and son are born broom stars, one has caused me great humiliation, and the other has caused me to lose the country, you should all be cut with a thousand cuts! ”
Hearing him mention Jiangshan, Yin Linxi sneered, "It's only to blame yourself for underestimating the enemy, since you don't have the so-called concept of family affection, and you regard me and the Seventh Emperor Brother as political enemies, then you should kill us together, not to maintain the so-called king's face in your mouth!" Moreover, it was no one who pushed you off the throne at all, and it was your own ambition and **, as well as your own sins, that brought you to where you are today! So you are destined to become a generation of Mingjun! ”
"Shut up!" The old emperor was extremely angry, and finally pulled out the Xuantie long sword at his waist, aimed at Yin Linxi's chest and pressed it shallowly, and the tip of the sword immediately pierced into his chest by half an inch.
Blood couldn't wait to spill out from the tip of the sword, and a dark lotus flower was imprinted on Yin Linxi's dark blue clothes.
After Qian Xu, who was also in a weak state next to him, saw it, he was afraid that the old emperor would kill Yin Linxi, so he struggled to get up and wanted to draw his sword, but his body was as if someone had taken away his strength, although his fingers were pressed on the hilt of the sword, but he never had the strength to draw the sword.
"Tu De!"
The old emperor glanced behind him and snorted coldly.
Tu De, who was still dressed as a fresh soldier, immediately stepped forward, drew out his scimitar and swung it at Qian Xu without hesitation.
Qian Xu wanted to raise his hand to resist, but where was he Tu De's opponent at this time?
With such a knife, Qian Xu could only hang in a daze, and watched in disbelief as a bloody hole bloomed on his chest, and the blood was flowing out at the degree of a spring, and inadvertently splashed on the small silver flower next to him, and the blood dot quickly faded, and soon, the silver flower was dyed blood red.
Qian Xu's tired eyelids sank, and his body slowly sank to the ground like a torn piece of paper.
"Qian Xu!"
Yin Linxi's bloodless face beside him was filled with pain, and he almost struggled to reach out in Qian Xu's direction, but as long as he moved slightly, the Xuantie sword that pierced his chest would be an inch deeper.
"How? How does it feel to feel the Grim Reaper coming slowly? ”
The old emperor grinned, his face in a scarf was full of hideousness, and he looked like hell of impermanence.
Yin Linxi only felt that the Xuantie Sword was constantly penetrating deep into his chest, almost piercing his back.
The huge pain in his body made him frown, and suddenly a surge of blood rushed up from his throat.
followed by an uncontrollable sweetness in his mouth...
A mouthful of dark blood immediately spurted out of his mouth, and the blood dots condensed in the silver flowers like mist, and after a while, there was an extra blood flower in the silver sea in vain.
The old emperor laughed with great satisfaction, and his expression was as if he was mad.
The Xuantie Sword in his hand was a little harder, and the mouth and nose of the person under the sword seemed to be out of control, and large swaths of dark blood gushed out.
"Die!"
"Are you curious? Want to know why you died here? Why don't I tell you! It's me..."
"I just imitated the allusions of the ancients to hide from the world and the sea, and made some scarecrows to stand in the valley, and your patrolmen immediately believed it when they saw it, do you think he is stupid?"
"Haha, and you too! You fight with me, do you think you can be my opponent? I just took advantage of the wind direction in the valley to ignite the peach at the source of the wind, and with just one hand, you will be defeated, what are you talking about like this? What a joke! ”
"Laugh... Words..."
Yin Linxi repeated like a whisper, and his eyes, which were as bright as stars in the past, lost their luster and became dim.
And a large pool of blood was quietly flowing behind him, as if a huge gorgeous peony had bloomed behind him.
In a moment, the blood gradually accumulated together and slowly flowed into the roots of the silver flower.
Yin Linxi couldn't feel any pain in his body anymore, just stared at the sky, his mind blank.
Because this is a valley, you can only see a long sky as far as the eye can see, and the blue sky with fire-colored auspicious clouds floating is beautiful.
And at this moment, the valley looked, and the half of the sky that was originally covered with fire-colored clouds suddenly condensed layers of dark clouds, although they continued to roll and spread, they never invaded the other half of the still fiery red sky, and it looked like a vision.
No wonder it's called Sunny Rain Valley!
Yin Linxi narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his lips were as pale as paper, and he smiled happily.
I really want Su'er to take a look...
Yin Linxi's eyes were like a marquee, and the joy, laughter, sorrow, and anger of a beautiful woman began to appear, and everything about her was like the oxygen that was indispensable to his life.
Obviously, everything that happened between me and her is still vivid, but now...
Yin Linxi felt that his life was about to run out with the blood in his body, and his body was even about to merge with the soil.
At this moment, he finally began to be afraid.
He was afraid that he would never see the woman in his memory again, and that she would be lonely if she was left alone in the world...
But reality had finally pulled all his chaotic thoughts into chaos.
Eventually, his eyelids finally fell.
With a round of fiery red sun on the horizon, it finally sank into the deep sea, and there was no trace of light anymore...
