Chapter Twenty-Nine: No... This is not true

The snow fell denser and denser, drifting in the fire-lit city, which was as bright as day, and covering the dead as if they were weeping silently.

And among the corpses lying on the side of the road, there are Zhongli soldiers in Zhongli uniforms, and Wu Guobing who was cut off by the waist, the most heart-wrenching are those innocent people who were implicated in tragic deaths, the youngest of which is just a baby in swaddling clothes...

I crouched on my horse's back, letting the cold wind sting every inch of my skin, but I could no longer feel the slightest chill.

In the huge Fengcheng, only the sound of "da-da" was heard, and the iron hooves of the war horse under him shattered the original dead silence, and let out a long neighing on the snow-covered bluestone road.

The originally holy snow on the side of the road was stained red with blood, and under the light of the fire, it looked like countless demon flowers placed in the center of the corpse, and the strange red color was projected into the leaping flames, which not only made people feel frightened, but also made me suddenly have a kind of illusion.

Is this still the world I know well?

In a trance, I felt as if I was already in hell, and countless unjust souls and blooming flowers were leading me to death step by step.

Looking at such a miserable picture, my chest froze, and I suddenly came back to my senses.

I don't want to look at it again.

But just as I looked away in pain, the war horse under me suddenly became short and tripped over.

On horseback, I was thrown a few meters away and slammed to the ground.

I covered my left shoulder, which had landed first, and sat up, only to see that it was the three Wu soldiers who tripped over my horse.

They approached slowly with a tripwire in their hands, and their fierce faces were looking at me greedily, as if in their eyes I had become a lamb to the slaughter.

I subconsciously tightened my heart, clenched the saber in my hand, and stepped back step by step...

Unexpectedly, those Wu Guobing sneered when they saw my appearance.

One of them, Wu Guobing, was the first to open his voice and said, "Look at this little white face, it's really a meritorious opportunity given to me by God!" ”

With that, the cruel face suddenly froze, and he took out a knife from his bosom and walked quickly towards me.

Then, with a cold light in my eyes, I fell to the ground.

I thought that my little life was going to be explained here, but unexpectedly, another Wu Guobing caught the person who was about to attack me in time.

"What? Just because you two still want to take credit from me? I can tell you that my uncle is a soldier of Lord Alhatu! ”

The arrested Wu Guobing seemed to have something to do with the man in Alhatu, but the other two didn't buy his account at all.

After hearing him say that, the other two people showed a look of disdain, "So what? This person is seen by everyone, why should all the credit fall on you? ”

"You..."

Golden opportunity!

While the three Wu soldiers were still arguing, I secretly pulled out my saber.

With the martial arts of the three-legged cat, he put the blade on the neck of Wu Guobing, who had something to do with Alhatu.

"What do you do! Let him go! ”

The faces of the other two Wu Guobing really became ugly.

I sneered, looked at the knife in my hand, and Wu Guobing, who was so frightened, said unhurriedly, "What do I want to do?" You've all taken a closer look at me, the knife in my hand doesn't have eyes. ”

"Okay, we..." The other two Wu Guobing glanced at each other, and finally put down the weapon in their hands, "We let you go, you let him go." ”

Released him? It's a joke!

I raised my eyebrows and sneered, and looked at the fallen horse.

"Go and lead my horse over," said I, and the blade of my sword was half an inch closer to the neck of the Wu Guobing, and said fiercely, "Don't play tricks on me, otherwise I'll let him go and be the companion of this new ghost in Fengcheng!" ”

"Okay..."The other two Wu soldiers, one of whom hurriedly walked towards my horse, making a look like he was going to lead the horse.

Just as I let my guard down, a sharp knife flew over.

I tilted my head to the side and dodged it.

The hostage I was holding was not so lucky, as the blade of the sharp knife slashed through his neck, severing his major artery.

Suddenly, blood gushed out and splashed onto my face and armor

However, in the face full of astonishment and resentment, that Wu Guobing fell to the ground in the face of death, and after all, he couldn't do anything.

"You—" I stared at in disbelief.

Smelling the smell of blood coming from the tip of his nose, he only felt the discomfort of his five internal organs turning over the river and the sea.

"Actually, I've long seen that this kid is not pleasing to the eye, thanks to you you have a legitimate reason to kill him, thank you so much!"

The Wu Guobing, who pretended to lead the horse, smiled on his face, looking very strange in this snowy night full of death, like a rakshasa in hell.

They smirked and approached me.

I thought that even if I died, I would have to fight with them, but my hands were not obeying the call at the moment, and they were trembling terribly.

In the end, as the knife in my hand fell to the ground with a "bang", the cold smile on the corner of Wu Guobing's mouth gradually spread more and more obviously.

At this moment, my body was suddenly uncontrollably encircled from behind and into my arms.

Before my brain could react, I heard the crunch sound of a blade cutting through my flesh.

Then, the two Wu soldiers let out a terrible scream, and finally fell into the pile of dead people.

"Are you alright? Princess? ”

I looked up blankly, looking at Shen Xiao's face full of worry, and my heart suddenly felt relaxed.

"Didn't I tell you to go by yourself? Why are you still in town? Did they hurt you? ”

Shen Xiao turned me around, and after confirming that I was not injured, he relaxed a little and took my hand and walked out of the city.

"At this time, Wu Guobing has already entered the city, and there should not be many people left guarding the city gate, so I will take you out first."

"You wait first, Ah Xiao," I paused and pulled my hand out of his big palm, "Can you take me to find the prince's brother?" ”

After I finished speaking calmly, Shen Xiao was stunned and looked back at me in surprise, "Princess, what are you looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time?" ”

"Leave it alone, tell me, where is he?"

Shen Xiao was silent, his face was facing away from the firelight, but I could clearly see a lot of loss from him.

After a while, he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already given the order to retreat, and now he should be on his way out of the city, we Zhongli... After all, he was defeated. ”

"Defeated, hehe..."I smiled sadly, turned to look at the sky-high flames in Fengcheng City, and muttered, "I already knew that it was a mistake for the prince's brother to decide to conquer Fengcheng in person, but it only fueled the arrogance of the people of Wu, and it was also doomed to Zhongli's fate..."

"Princess, you..."

After that, I put my loneliness aside, turned around and grabbed Shen Xiao's hand, and begged, "Ah Xiao, I beg you, can you take me to see the prince's brother?" Emperor Wu sent a man named Alhatu, they want to kill the prince's brother, you take me there, otherwise it will be too late. ”

"What did you say?" Shen Xiao looked at me in shock, wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Alhattu? ”

"Hmm!"

Shen Xiao was silent again, and then as if he remembered something, his face suddenly became serious, and he exclaimed, "It's not good." ”

With an unusually ugly face, he hurriedly stepped onto the horse.

"Come with me!"

As I had pestered him, he held out his hand to me, and I spun on my horse with the force of his hand.

The only difference is that when I came, I was full of joy without knowing the height of the sky, but now I was replaced by the sadness and sorrow of dissatisfaction.

The war horses under him crossed several long streets under the command of Shen Xiao, and I found that as we walked further into the city, the more Wu soldiers wandered, and the dead corpses were laid together, and the more it looked like a Huangquan Road with no end to it.

I don't know...

Just looking at the snow-covered corpses all over the city, my mind went blank...

I buried my face in Shen Xiao's back.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Xiao suddenly strangled the horse's neck, and then I finally found the prince's brother, who had been seriously injured, in the pile of dead people, was being supported by two guards, limping towards me.

"Brother Prince..."

I turned over and dismounted in surprise and was about to go to the prince's brother, but Shen Xiao suddenly grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the back of a house.

"What are you doing?"

I glared at him angrily, and was about to go out when he pulled me back.

"You calm down, listen to me," Shen Xiao held my shoulder, with a little pain in his eyes, "We can't save His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What do you say?"

I shook off the hand on my shoulder and looked at Shen Xiao funny.

What does it mean that you can't save the prince's brother? The prince's brother is obviously in front of me, why can't I save him?

The compassion in Shen Xiao's eyes became more and more intense, and I was about to speak, but suddenly a miserable scream came from outside.

"Brother Prince!"

I felt nervous for a while, and because Shen Xiao grabbed my hand, I had to lean against the wall and poke out half of my head.

Just this look...

I almost screamed in shock, and then covered my mouth violently.

Pupils suddenly tightened...

I saw that the prince's brother fell to the ground weakly, and the two guards who were originally supporting him had fallen in a pool of blood.

That's when it dawned on me.

The reason why Shen Xiao stopped me was because the black pressure behind the prince's brother turned out to be countless Wu Guobing.

At this time, they were like a group of wild wolves that had been hungry for a long time in the wind and snow, staring at the prince's brother with a ghostly light, as if they wanted to dismantle him and eat him in the next second.

And among this group of hungry wolves, the leader is still the Tubo man with a vicious and calculating face, Alhatu!

Brother Prince...

My heart felt as if someone had cut a huge hole with a knife, and the cold wind kept pouring into it, tearing my wounds until they were dripping with blood.

Then, Alhatu lowered his body and smiled smugly at the prince's brother, as if he had said something.

The prince's brother couldn't tell whether it was blood or dirt, and his face showed a very sympathetic expression, looking at Alhatu.

Angered Alhatu, he grabbed the prince's brother's already weak body.

After being stunned for a moment, Alhatu's face raised a calculating smile again, and he let go of the hand that was holding the prince's brother.

Then, he said something to Wu Guobing behind him.

From such a distance, I only felt that the eyes of the hungry wolves lit up.

When Alhatu turned around with his backhand, the group of Wu soldiers surrounded the prince's brother.

I saw that the situation was wrong, so I hurriedly raised my feet to go out, but Shen Xiao still held my hand and didn't let go.

"They are going to kill the prince's brother, you let me go, you let me save him."

But no matter how much I pleaded with him, he was indifferent.

Finally, in Wu Guobing's loud shouting...

I watched them stab the prince with their halberds and spears, again... Twice...

"Ahh I screamed like a dead voice, and Shen Xiao had to quickly cover my mouth in order not to let Wu Guoren find out.

And with a loud "boom" in my head, I shivered all over, and my feet were soft and almost fell to the ground.

"Too... Brother Prince..."

No, no, that's not true.

I shook my head in horror and kept backing away.

Tears could no longer be controlled.

No, my lazy, joke-loving prince brother, he... How can you die?

No, there must have been something wrong, well... I'm definitely dreaming!
