Chapter 41: The Dawn of Versailles
At three o'clock in the morning, the Palace of Versailles, the back garden of the Hall of Mirrors, has become a cemetery of men, horses and steel.
Qin Beiyang trembled and fell to the ground, kneeling on one knee, Tang Dao stuck upside down on the ruins, gasping for breath, like a dream? Wrapped in layers of bright light armor, the black tendon pocket with lion-faced flying wings on his head, the last Tang cavalry.
At that moment just now, Qin Beiyang became infinitely powerful, and he must have borrowed the power of An Lushan. Now he is sick and weak, and he can only use the Tang knife as a crutch to support his soft body. Come with the nine colors of the antlers and protect the master.
The boy who slashed ten corners and seven heads with his sword boarded the tomb beast that he had defeated with Nine Colors. He smelled a foul smell of power plant waste, it was these heavy metal toxic substances that had helped the Ten Corners and Seven Heads fight so far, and Nine Colors seemed to like the smell very much.
Qin Beiyang found that the armored capsule was very strong and could not be opened with a Tang knife, so he remembered the golden dagger of the Assassins, and pulled out the scabbard from his waist, as if the crescent moon in the sky fell into his hand, emitting a curved cold light.
Sure enough, it was the king of assassins who had been around for 800 years, and the blade that had taken the lives of countless European monarchs, the golden dagger easily cut through the locking mechanism of the armored capsule.
Opening the hatch, Qin Beiyang saw his father's face.
"Daddy!"
Tears rolled in his eyes, and the son picked up his father. The originally tall and strong man had been thinned into a hemp pole, with silver hair and a white beard, weighing less than ninety pounds, and fell into a deep coma.
Qin Beiyang estimated that his father was also in the terminal stage of cancer like himself. The battle just now was too fierce, Lao Qin was in the armored capsule of ten corners and seven heads, and he was not wearing a tank helmet, he was concussed many times, and the toxic chemicals eaten by the tomb beast would also enter his respiratory tract, and he would be given another ride on the Huangquan Road.
Finally, Lao Qin opened his eyes, first seeing the crescent moon of Versailles, and then his son's face.
He stretched out his weak, calloused hand and touched Qin Beiyang's face, just like the tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan nineteen years ago, when the child was just born on the coffin of the little prince.
A primal smile appeared at the corner of Qin Customs' mouth, was this instinctive fatherly love, or was it the inability to control the facial muscles when he was dying? Failing to destroy the Palace of Versailles was the last regret of his life, but when he saw his only son Qin Beiyang, all regrets were not worth mentioning.
Daddy's darkened lips trembled, as if he had something to say? But he didn't even have the strength to vibrate his vocal cords. Qin Beiyang could only put his ear to his father's ear and heard the intermittent sound of breath-
"Son...... Stay alive...... Stay alive...... Stay alive ......"
"Hmm!" Qin Beiyang nodded with tears in his eyes, "Daddy, I will definitely live, and I will live a hundred years old." ”
He couldn't tell his father that he had only two months left to live.
Daddy breathed a sigh of relief, and he still had something to say: "Marry a daughter-in-law...... Buying a house...... Baby......
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Lao Qin is still nagging about these three major things until he dies.
The second sentence of Qin Customs came one after another-
"If you don't go crazy, you won't survive!"
This is his last words, not only a warning to his son, but also a summary of his life, the spirit of the tomb beast craftsman family for three thousand years.
Then, the father swallowed his last breath and died in his son's arms, in Versailles in a foreign land, and until he died, "If you don't go crazy, you won't live!" He died on the tomb beast that he had repaired with his own hands.
Qin Beiyang hugged his father tightly and buried his head between his chin and chest, just like ten years ago in the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu, he returned to Qin and recognized each other. I couldn't hear his heartbeat anymore. The Four-Winged Angel Tomb Beast continued to hover overhead, seemingly taking away the soul of Qin Customs and bringing it back to the distant homeland of China.
In the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, in the floor-to-ceiling window that Qin Beiyang crashed into, five figures escaped in turn - the assassin Ah Hai, Daddy, Tuhuan, Ghost Mask, and their master Ah You.
The assassination attempt against the Triumvirate failed. French Prime Minister Clemenceau, British Prime Minister Lloyd Georges, and U.S. President Wilson have been escorted out of the Hall of Mirrors and into the bedroom of the former King of France.
Of the thirteen assassins who were sluggish and cold, except for Qin Beiyang, there were only five survivors left, all of whom happened to be from China. Ah Hai and his father have already hung their colors, stepping into the back garden full of corpses, passing by the dormant ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast.
Suddenly, Ouyang Anna jumped out of the ruins, grabbed a saber of the Guards cavalry, and stabbed Ah Hai in the back suddenly.
This blow was unguarded, and Ah Hai, who was already injured, was drenched in blood behind his back. Tohwan raised his pistol and pointed it at Anna's front door.
"Stop!"
On the ten-cornered seven-headed tomb beast, Qin Beiyang put down his father's body and shouted violently. The young Qilin Town Tomb Beast was nine-colored, staring at the snow-white antlers, eyeing this group of people.
Ouyang Anna brandished her saber and stared at Ah You's black eyes. Ah Hai and Dehuan, who fled in embarrassment, are her father-killing enemies, and this is the best opportunity for revenge.
"Put down the gun, let's go."
Ah You whispered to Dehuan, Ah Hai covered his wounds and was carried away by his companions. Anna didn't chase after her, and if she tried to attack the Assassins, she could only end up together.
Nineteen-year-old Qin Beiyang pulled out the golden dagger of the Assassins. The five Assassins fought to the death, believing that he was also coming for revenge. But he threw the golden dagger high at Ah You.
The sixteen-year-old Assassin's master raised his hand to firmly grasp the golden dagger, which was the most precious treasure in the eyes of the Assassins of the world.
"Well deserved!" Qin Beiyang clasped his fists at Ah You and her assassins, "There will be a period later!" ”
The real reason why he didn't have revenge was that the pre-dawn darkness was passing, the east was white, and the dawn was shining on the nine-colored. The antlers of the young Kirin Town Gravemon are automatically shrinking and folding, and it is no longer capable of fighting, and it is turning back into a "big dog". Qin Beiyang, whose lobes were full of cancer cells, could not have eliminated five top assassins by himself.
"Brother, whether you admit it or not, you are the heir of Assasin and the leader of the League of Assassins. With the failure to assassinate the Big Three, a world war between the League of Assassins and the Alliance of Artisans is not far off. There will be a period later! ”
With that, he thrust the golden dagger into his waist and led the assassins into the mouth of the sewers in Paris.
Qin Beiyang picked up his father's body and jumped off the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast. His chest burned and hurt again, and he thought that he would never have the opportunity to see Ah You again in this life, and I am afraid that he would never have the opportunity to avenge his adoptive parents with his own hands.
Ouyang Anna threw away the saber, knowing that Qin Beiyang was weak, and helped him carry Lao Qin's body together. The four-winged angel continued to hover overhead for protection, along with Caproni and Chanco's giant airship.
Qin Beiyang, Anna, and Jiuse, crossed the walls and ditches, and returned to the wilderness of Versailles. The four-winged angel tomb beast landed beside him, and the beast's head approached Qin Beiyang, expressing respect and surrender to this young hero who slashed ten corners and seven heads. Then came the whole airship, anchored and moored at the top of a large tree.
The little prince of Ordos also arrived from the Chinese delegation, Caproni and Chanco jumped from the airship pod, and everyone gathered in the land, looking back at the Palace of Versailles, which was almost destroyed. The flames had been extinguished, the army of Wu Yang had rushed to protect them, and French fighters appeared in the sky.
But ten minutes ago, Karl Holstein, the initiator of the transformation of the Tomb Beast, slipped away. The doctor was not stupid, he knew that once he fell into the hands of Qin Beiyang or Jiuse, he would definitely die.
"Uncle Qin, what should I do?"
The little county king, who had worked with Lao Qin, knelt down and kowtowed to the body of Qin Customs.
Although the Chinese custom is to return to the roots, it is impossible to transport his coffin back to China. Without further ado, the French military is searching for the assassins and will find them soon. They didn't have time to prepare the coffin and funeral for Lao Qin. Qin Beiyang looked up to the sky and sighed, his mother died when she gave birth, and she was also buried by her father on the tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan.
Qin Beiyang found that Versailles was also a treasure of feng shui, and he walked hundreds of steps with Anna's support, and barely found a piece of auspicious soil with a small hill behind him and a river in front of him. Nine colors helped him dig a grave and bury his father's body in it. I found a stone slab again, and carved with a Tang knife the "Tomb of the Late Father, the Tombmaker of the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office, and the Tomb of the Qin Customs" was signed as "Son Qin Beiyang Weeping".
The Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office represents the royal craftsmen, and this "tomb masterpiece" is not an official position of the Qing Dynasty, but Qin Beiyang stole the title of the Northern and Southern Dynasties without authorization, which can be regarded as gilding his father. After the death of many officials, they would ask the imperial court to posthumously confer a false title, so that the monument could be erected and listed in the twenty-four histories.
"Dad, you have been a craftsman all your life, and the child is determined to inherit your craftsmanship and become a craftsman, if you can survive."
Qin Beiyang kowtowed three times in front of his father's tomb, and the nine colors of humanity also bent his two front legs and knelt, even the four-winged angel tomb beast also knelt down, and the fourth one who knelt down and kowtowed was Ouyang Anna, just like a daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door.
The four-winged angel and the ship Julius Caesar have taken to the skies again, and the sun is rising over Versailles.
