Chapter 214: Falling Stars (2)
"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!"
Shen Xiao carefully supported me and leaned against the wall.
And he himself got up with a gloomy face, drew his long sword and walked straight towards the emperor, "I said a long time ago, if you hurt her, I will definitely want you to return it a thousand times over!" ”
"You'd better think clearly! Don't blame me for not reminding you, I still have a big card in my hand! ”
At this moment, the emperor was still being held by people on the left and right, and when he saw Shen Xiao with a murderous face walking over with a sword, he still looked like he was in the chest, and only then did he learn that the gaffe when the imperial power was changed had completely disappeared.
It's a pity that Shen Xiao didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and as the murderous aura in his eyes became thicker, the hand holding the long sword suddenly stabbed at him.
However, just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce the emperor's chest, the corner under the eaves of the castle tower suddenly flew out like a flying locust passing through the border, and a dense array of feathered arrows flew towards us.
There were still flames burning on the arrows, and the black-clothed men under Shen Xiao were caught off guard and could only barely parry.
At this moment there was a dark shadow on the roof, with a sinister smile on his face, but he took a steady step, his hands slowly but forcefully opened his bow, and the flaming arrows were aimed straight at me by the wall.
I leaned my whole body weight against the wall weakly, and at the right time I only felt a chilling killing intent rushing towards my face, and when I raised my tired eyelids slightly, I saw a black figure standing under the bright moonlight, and I could vaguely see that the man was wearing a bright soldier's costume by looking through the silver light falling through the clouds.
After realizing that the man was deliberately targeting me, where could I still sit still, I had to stand up with difficulty, and my fingers silently touched the scimitar next to a soldier who had been dead for a long time, but I didn't dare to take my eyes off him for a moment.
The people on the roof seemed to notice my actions, too, and a sinister smile appeared on their faces hidden behind the rockets.
Immediately after, the feather arrow in my hand flew towards me like a gust of wind, mixed with the smell of thick fire oil.
At this moment, a fiery arrow gradually enlarged in my pupils, and I subconsciously raised my hand to block it, but my wrist was already injured, and the slightest movement would be heart-rending pain
At this moment, the top of my head suddenly darkened.
When I lifted it again, it was a handsome face that blocked my view, and his body trembled slightly in the firelight, and finally he sat down unsupportably, and a large mouthful of blood came out of his mouth uncontrollably.
"Shen Xiao!"
I was so shocked that I didn't feel any physical pain at all, just stared blankly at a blood-stained arrow blackened by flames that pierced his left chest.
"You, are you alright?" Shen Xiao raised his eyelids and looked at me, and the black arrowhead that ran through his chest had blood spilling out continuously, dripping on the ground that was yellow under the light of the fire, and it looked so shocking.
I shook my head hard and crawled towards Shen Xiao, the hand that wanted to reach out to touch the arrow on his chest retracted violently for fear of hurting him.
In the end, I had to stare at the big pool of blood on the ground, and said in a dry and ugly voice, "Why are you doing this? Are you crazy? Why use your body to block the sword? ”
Shen Xiao, who was above his head, covered his chest and smiled helplessly, "Because the situation was critical at the time, I could only think of this one way!" If you swing your sword, you will be hurt if you don't get close enough. ”
The tip of my heart twitched as he spoke, and then I raised my head and stared blankly at Shen Xiao's blood-stained jaw.
There was still a gentle smile on his face at the moment, and although he had tried his best to hide the pain, I could still find a trace of fatigue in those starry eyes.
Looking at him for a long time, Shen Xiao seemed to sense my thoughts, so he suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and showed me an extremely gentle smile.
I knew that this smile was meant to comfort me, but as everyone knows, at this moment, his teeth that were originally as white as jade have been stained with blood, and a smile makes that face look very pale and ugly.
It also made a sharp pain instantly appear in my heart.
I was slightly stunned, but I felt that the feeling in my heart was very familiar, and then everything that had been born in the Lingquan Temple in Zheng Guoshi suddenly appeared in my head.
In an instant, my whole heart, as my grandson had sunk into the cold depths of the sea again, and with the pain that penetrated deep into my bone marrow came a sense of fear that was about to swallow me.
"You're coming too slowly."
An indifferent voice came from behind him, and now I don't have to look at it to know that this is the emperor speaking.
It was followed by a joking voice, "It's you guys who are too grinding!" It's been a long time, and goodbye is nothing more than that. ”
The emperor squinted at the figure jumping from the roof, and then coldly kicked away the two corpses under his feet, one left and one right, "General Tude, I hope you don't forget the promise between us. ”
The man named Tu De raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the emperor for a while, then licked his chapped mouth, and said with an uninhibited smile, "The emperor doesn't have to remind him from time to time, Tu De naturally remembers the agreement with you, I will help you kill the henchmen, and you will help me return to the position of the general of the Jin Kingdom." ”
General of the Jin Kingdom
When these four words fell heavily on my heart, I raised my eyelids in disbelief, and looked around Shen Xiao to look at the man who was dressed in the clothes of a soldier and held a blood-stained bow.
If this Tu De is the chief general of the Jin State, then according to his words, the main general of the Jin Army did not escape from prison at all, but the emperor deliberately let him out in order to get rid of Qian Xu, and the two also formed an alliance for their own purposes.
If this is the case, then the emperor is indeed scheming, and he can keep this back hand for himself.
However, the current situation is really not optimistic, Shen Xiao was seriously injured to save me, and with my three-legged cat kung fu, where can I be that person's opponent? If the two sides fight, the result is almost unthinkable, and we have no chance of victory.
At this time, you can only run one and count one!
"You, you go quickly." My eyes were as if I was dead, staring closely at the man with a strange face, and my subordinates secretly pushed Shen Xiao, and tried their best to lower their voices, "The old emperor is not to be afraid, and that person's target is obviously me, so let me lead him away!" You take the opportunity to get out of here, run as far as you want. ”
Listening to my words, a trace of coolness gradually appeared in Shen Xiao's blood-stained handsome face, and a pair of eyes with some fatigue were full of disbelief, "How can you bear to say such a thing?" After all this time, don't you understand my heart? I said a long time ago that what I do for you is my own will, and it has nothing to do with you! It's also my freedom to choose what I want, it's up to me!
"You"
Without waiting for me to speak again, Shen Xiao's long eyebrows tightened, covered his chest that was dripping blood, and staggered up, and said in a deep voice to the person named Tu De, "I advise you not to waste your strength on him, at this time, the new army is about to attack here, and the person standing next to you is just a emperor whose imperial power has been hollowed out, what else do you think he can help you?" I'm afraid that when the new army comes, he will inevitably pretend to be held hostage by you in order to protect himself, and when the time comes, do you guess, can you still be the majestic general of the Jin State in peace? Can you still have the life to go back to the Jin Kingdom alive? ”
As soon as Shen Xiao's words were finished, some hesitation flashed on the face of the person named Tu De.
The emperor immediately stepped forward in a fierce voice, glared at Shen Xiao and said, "General Tu De, don't listen to his nonsense, this person is just a wild dog that I took in, and now that his minions are sharp, he wants to bite me back, those rumors and chaotic parties will be cleared up, and the top priority at the moment is to kill them!" ”
Shen Xiao smiled, ignoring the red-eyed emperor at all, and continued to Tu De, "I believe that General Tu De is a person with the ability to discern, and whether life or death is in your own hands. ”
Tu De's face was moved for a moment, and then he straightened his chest and said, "I see that you guy is full of bad water, and he will not hesitate to sow discord in order to survive, even if it is really as you said, General Ben is willing to give it a try, anyway, he will die!" Lao Tzu will kill you first! ”
After that, Tu De's eyes showed a thick killing intent, and his fingers quickly took out a long knife from his waist, and suddenly approached Shen Xiao, who was crumbling.
Looking at this thrilling scene, I quickly stood up in shock.
hurriedly ran in the direction of Shen Xiao, but before he could reach him, he saw that Tu De, who was holding a long knife, suddenly stagnated at his feet, followed by his huge body and fell to the ground with a bang.
What was born?
My original running pace gradually slowed down, and it wasn't until I walked to Shen Xiao's side that I saw Tu De's eyes on the ground stretched out, but his fists were clenched and shaking violently.
"You, you!"
Tu De slowly lowered his eyes, looked at the long knife that fell not far from him, and desperately crawled towards it, but at this moment his movements were slow, and in the eyes of others, he was like a snail that was slow to move.
Shen Xiao sneered at his thin lips, which had lost his blood, and stepped forward to kick away the long knife he was trying so hard to grasp.
"General Tu De, don't be afraid, if you are hit by the red Luosan that I carry with you, although you will feel weak, as long as you don't move at will, this poison will not kill you."
Shen Xiao looked at Tu De, who was gritting his teeth with hatred on the ground, and raised it to the old emperor and said, "I have played this play with you enough today, and now it should be over!" ”
"What's the hurry?" A trace of disdain appeared on the old emperor's grim face, and he immediately clapped his hands.
As soon as he came out of the eaves with the fire arrows, a group of soldiers with fire arrows poured out.
"I said a long time ago that you are not worthy of fighting me! It's just a wild dog, I can pinch you to death at any time if I want to! ”
As soon as the old emperor said this, the soldiers with fire bolts behind him surrounded him.
Shen Xiao had no choice but to hold his chest and retreat step by step.
It wasn't until he retreated to me that he glanced back at the bottom of the castle tower.
At this time, in the midst of the gunfire, a group of people were galloping forward.
"Finally, it's here!"
Shen Xiao looked at the people below, and finally smiled with relief on his face.
Then, while I was still nervous about what to do, Shen Xiao suddenly lowered his body slightly and hugged me horizontally, and his wound began to bleed heavily.
I frowned and struggled to get out of his arms.
Shen Xiao couldn't help but increase the force in his hand, and his wound was even more serious due to the blood loss due to this action.
"I said, it's my choice!"
A weak-sounding voice came from overhead, and a few low laughs came out when I saw that I was no longer moving.
But I was so scared that I almost didn't dare to look up at him, but quietly let him hold me, for fear that if I moved again, his wound would collapse.
However, at this moment, Shen Xiao raised his heavy eyelids, looked at the old emperor through the crowd holding the fire arrow, and his thin lips opened a silent arc, "In the past, I did too many wrong things, you are right, I am just a homeless wild dog, but even so, my wild dog has people who desperately want to protect, for her I can do nothing, even my life!" In other words, you used power and status as bait to seduce me, which was actually wrong from the beginning, because all I really want is her! And you are just the saddest poor person in this world, although you hold the supreme power that others can not reach, but you have never tasted the taste of being loved and loved in your life, so you are destined not to succeed! ”
The old emperor was stunned for a moment, and then an overwhelming killing intent filled his entire face.
The old emperor shouted angrily, "You bunch of waste, what are you waiting for? Kill them for me! ”
The soldiers received the order, and arrows like a rain of fire struck me and Shen Xiao violently.
And at this moment, the breeze was blowing, and Shen Xiao's feet were like stepping on two soft white clouds, and he jumped down according to the inner wall of the city that was dozens of feet high.
As I fell, the manic wind that was born immediately whistled loudly in my ears, and my eyes ached.
"Su'er, I'm sorry! Forgive me, I can't protect you anymore! There are some things that I have never been able to say to you, but now it seems that if I don't say it again, I will never be able to say it to you again in this life In fact, when the first encounter began, when you rescued me from the land of wind and dust, I knew that you would be a meteor in my life, although your dazzle and beauty were destined not to belong to me, although you only existed for a short time in my life, but you did pull me out of the quagmire of darkness, and it was you who made me see the appearance of light! It's also you who let me know what it's like to like someone. Since then, only you have been left in my world, I wanted to make myself better, I wanted to protect you, I wanted to make you happy, but I chose a path that hurt you, I'm sorry! I wanted to spend my life to atone for my sins, but now it seems that I can't, I can no longer protect you, and I can't accompany you anymore, so you must live well! Be sure, take good care of the miracle! Be happy! Be sure to remember me I love you! ”
Wonderful!
