Chapter 26: The Death of Wen Zhong

"Evil obstacles! Have you forgotten the promises you once made? Why do you want to kill your big brother!? The eldest king hugged his eldest son and scolded the grimace-faced helmet man in thick armor standing below.

But as soon as his words fell, two more feathered arrows flew in, completely nailing the old king and the old queen to the ground. To death, neither of them could believe that their final fate would be like this.

"Everything... It's all brothers... Brother, are you setting up the right game? Hal stood in place in despair, and the moment Wen Zhong appeared, the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved. From the very beginning, whether it was to let himself take over as the commander and control the power of life and death, or to lead his troops back to Xijing, send troops to attack Xijing and enter the imperial city, and force the new king to abdicate. Even in the end, he was infamous for killing his father and killing his brother to seize the throne. Everything was calculated by my brother from the beginning. And his purpose is just to have a scapegoat who bears the notoriety for him!

Wen Zhong still wore a grimace mask, casually threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground, walked towards Hal step by step, looked at Hal condescendingly, and asked slowly, "How many have you guessed?" What do you know? ”

Hal no longer had his initial fear at this time, and after seeing the fate of the three people on the high platform with his own eyes, he was relieved, and he was completely relieved in the face of impending death. At this moment, he only wanted to know the answer: "After killing Ptolemy, you and the two thousand ghost-faced cavalry disappeared, and at that time you had already led the cavalry to run thousands of miles and returned to Xijing, right?" My men... No, I haven't received any trace of you because your subordinates have completely blocked the message, right? ”

"Yes!" Wen Zhong was still wearing a mask, and his indifferent eyes looked at Hal, "From the day the army set out, they have been planning, once both of us are killed on the battlefield, they will reconcile with the barbarians and let He Jie ascend to the throne. But after we joined forces to defeat the million-strong army of barbarians, that stupid old man chose to pass the throne directly to that idiot! So, I have to come back! ”

"Two thousand ghost-faced cavalry attacked Xijing, presumably there are many of my brother's subordinates in Xijing City, right?" Hal looked at the generals kneeling on either side with a mocking look on his face, "Do you know about the killing of prisoners in Shangqiu Pit?" ”

"Yes!" Wen Zhong's voice was still indifferent, "I believe that the soil along the Weishui coast will be more fertile in the coming year!" ”

Listening to his brother's utterly inappropriate words, Hal became even angrier, "But you know what? I made such a decision at the time! That guilt, why should I be burdened! Just because I'm going to be your scapegoat!? ”

Letting the younger brother pull his armor, Wen Zhong waved his hand to let Gongsun Yu, who was about to rush up, retreat, but lifted the placket of Howl's clothes, raised him to the height of his line of sight, and said indifferently: "This is just the beginning!" You will encounter more betrayals and more calculations in the future! Do you really think that all the decisions you have made along the way have been arranged by me? ”

Throwing Hal to the ground, Wen Zhong turned to look at the corner of the magnificent imperial city outside the main hall, but his voice became deeper and lower: "You have always followed the footsteps of others in your life, always wondering what your life is like, and always looking for your true self. But do you really think that every day you live, everything you do, everything you say is your intention? ”

Hal got up as he fell to the ground, he didn't want to fall to the ground like this and look at the former brother triumphantly. He didn't know what his brother meant, but he hated it, "What are you doing with so many things that I don't know what to say?" Win or lose, since I've already lost, let's hurry up! ”

Wen Zhong seemed to be going around in circles, slowly took off the grimace helmet on his face, threw it to the ground and said, "Where is Gongsun Yu!" ”

"Inferior!" Gongsun Yu responded very heartily.

"I ask you, what should be the law for killing prisoners?" Wen Zhong looked at the scenery outside the main hall and asked lightly.

"In the thirteenth year of the king, the seventeenth law of punishment, killing prisoners without permission, expelling them from the army with thirty rods, and beheading them for public display!" Gongsun Yu lowered his head and said the criminal law loudly.

"Let me ask you again, what should you do if you lead troops to surround the national capital and send troops to besiege the national capital without authorization?" Wen Zhong's eyes drifted a little, but he felt that the person behind him was trembling.

"The soldiers besiege the national capital, it is regarded as a rebellion, and it is regarded as the nine clans!"

"Attacking the imperial city, what should I do if I kill my father and brother?"

"Conspiracy to commit a felony, murder of his father and brother, loss of conscience, when the nine clans are connected, the first crime should be punished by Ling Chi!"

"What if this man is a prince?"

"Expelled from the clan genealogy, Ling Chi will be executed!"

asked and answered, but every word was heartfelt, and Hal, who was standing behind Wen Zhong, trembled. Even when he stepped into this place, he had thought about what would happen if he failed, but when everything really happened, the fear still took over his body.

"Take it easy," Wen Zhong narrowed his eyes, still not turning around, "Do you remember that feeling when you faced the barbarian army?" That feeling of being able to see everything, that feeling of knowing the flaws of the enemy! You should remember that feeling, that feeling of winning the game! ”

Wen Zhong's words seemed to be full of magic power, and Howl's whole body finally stopped trembling, but his breathing was still very heavy. He was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why his brother had calmed his fears. But Hal slowly remembered the feeling he had when he was playing against a million barbarians, and in that moment, he seemed to remember that feeling, that crazy feeling of being desperate, even risking his life.

But Wen Zhong looked into the distance silently as if he hadn't noticed the changes in his little brother behind him.

Hal quietly took out the dagger from his bosom, and such a dagger was one for all three princes, but it was just a decoration, and no one would have thought that it would come in handy one day. But the moment Hal pulled out the dagger, he suddenly hesitated, was the majestic body of the man in front of him really something he could defeat?

"What are you waiting for?" Wen Zhong sighed and shouted coldly: "Remember that kind of decisiveness!" Decisiveness to win! Don't do it yet! ”

Startled by Wen Zhong's shouting, a trace of anger flashed in Hal's eyes, and he subconsciously pulled out a dagger and was about to stab Wen Zhong in the back!

"Shaft! Don't you dare! Everyone in the hall was awakened by Wen Zhong's words, and when they raised their heads, they saw the scene of the third prince pulling out a dagger and stabbing the second prince. Gongsun Yu, who was closest to him, roared, drew his sword and rushed forward!

Bloodstained!

...

Everything seems to stand still...

The dagger that should have been stabbed into the back of the second prince went straight into the second prince's abdomen. The third prince's whole person was almost held in the arms of the second prince, Gongsun Yu slashed at the third prince's long sword, but was held tightly by the second prince's hand, and the blood kept dripping from the second prince's palm, but he could no longer move an inch.

"Retreat... Under! Wen Zhong repelled the crowd who wanted to pounce with difficulty, and was about to fall down after a stumble, but he held down Hal in his arms and stood up again.

Howl's face was stained with the blood spit out of Wen Zhong's mouth, and the pungent smell of blood made him shiver, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, not believing that he had really done this. It was only then that he realized that his brother's face was pale and he was terminally ill!

"Brother... Brother! Hal let out a scream, a feeling of desolation coming from within.

But Wen Zhong's miserable white grins barely squeezed out a signature smile, he gently touched Howl's head, and said slowly: "Wang... Thirty-seven years, two... Prince Division... Led the crowd to rebel, attacked at night... Xijing... Killing his father and killing his brother... Plot to usurp the throne! Three... The third prince Wu, led the guards to kill... Anti-thief division, following... Succeed to the throne! ”

"What are you talking about?" Hal had already reacted completely at this time, he desperately covered Wen Zhong's wounds, and used his body to resist his brother's body that was about to fall. But it was in vain, the blood was still gushing, and the brother's face became paler.

"I know... It all seems somewhat... Dreamy, it's like... Arranged the same. If one day, you can go back... When reading this passage, my brother... Just wanted to tell you... What can be done for you... I'm done...

All this... It seems like a dream to you, and it will... Makes you feel unreal. But... In the days to come, you're going to have to fight for decades... You're going to be a leader, so you're going to encounter... The difficulties encountered by the back... Rebellion will also be unimaginable to ordinary people. No... Forget your decisiveness... Don't forget... The kind of kind for life... For the victory... of desire.

It smells so good... This tastes..."

Wen Zhong knew that his time in the script was coming to an end, so he tried his best to finish what he wanted to say, and hugged his younger brother again, just like hugging the dead Xiaofu fifteen years ago... As if he was hugging his dead brother a hundred years ago, he slowly closed his eyes...

Blood soaked Hal's body, but his eyes were filled with tears...

...

Wen Zhong was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, he knew that his life was coming to an end, but he was calm. The whole room was filled with a faint sadness, but Anne held his hand tightly and never let go.

"Shi Yu..."Wen Zhong suddenly spoke, breaking the oppressive silence in the room.

"Huh?" Shi Yu floated up from Jiang Hengchu's shoulders and landed on the side of Wen Zhong's pillow, he had seen countless lives and deaths, but he could not look directly at death: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Wen Zhong reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Back then, I took your 'system' in the time tunnel, although I can't return it to you, but I can return you a half-finished product. ”

As he spoke, a blue point of light lit up from Wen Zhong's forehead, and after slowly flying out, it slowly fell into Shi Yu's hand. After doing all this, Wen Zhong's face became even paler, but he still insisted and continued, "I put everything I saw in the time tunnel into it, and it might help you both. Same as a deal, I hope you don't do that! ”

Jiang Hengchu and Shi Yu frowned at the same time, not knowing what Wen Zhong meant by this sentence that suddenly appeared. They still wanted to ask, but Wen Zhong's eyes were already looking at Anne.

Wen Zhong's eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see anything anymore, he grabbed Annie's hand with his last strength and said slowly, "The smell of your body is so fragrant... I can feel that you are right there for me! ”

"Hmm..."Annie's eyes were already occupied by tears, and her hands tightly grasped Wen Zhong's hand, "I'm right here!" Always by your side! ”

But Wen Zhong also seemed to be unable to hear what the people around him were saying: "I'm sorry..."

It seems that he still wants to say something, but he doesn't even have the strength to speak loudly. Anne seemed to know what Moon Joong wanted to say, and she approached Moon Joong's ear with tears in her eyes.

When Wen Zhong said that sentence slowly, Anne couldn't hold back her sadness anymore, and tears finally flowed out of her eyes, "Until you die, you have to think about others, why..."

But Wen Zhong couldn't hear any sound for a long time, and after the last bit of strength was exhausted, he closed his eyes with a smile on his face, for him, it was time to rest.

"Bang!" The door was slammed open.

Wen Zhong barely opened his eyes and found that there was a dazzling white light from outside the door, and two figures walked out of the white light, smiling and stretching out their hands at Wen Zhong.

"You're here!" Wen Zhong sat up, looking nostalgically at Anne, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and crying sadly, and at the group of friends with gloomy faces. He shook his head slightly, knowing that he could no longer do anything, and slowly walked towards the outside of the gate, through Howl's body, into the white light.

Smiling and holding the hands of Xiaofu and Liang Han, the figures of the three gradually disappeared into the white light and disappeared completely...

...

"Hey! Get up! ”
