Chapter 70: Life and Death

The two red ropes fell to the mortal dust almost at the same time, and the one on the snow-white arm bulged up the rice grain and moved up quickly, she didn't know what would happen in the next moment, so she could only give it a go. Yun Yanzheng's right hand held the dagger securely, her gaze never falling on her left arm, she excluded everything from her thoughts, and only stared at the assassin in front of her with the calmest and most steady eyes.

The Assassin had infiltrated the mansion more than once, the last time he had taken the role of "Kao". And his real identity is Dai Qingying, the chief outpost of the Yu Army's spy detective. After sending the "information" he had obtained last time out of Huicheng, he managed to avoid the eyes and ears of Wei Guo. His purpose was to assassinate Yun Yanzheng at the last moment, he had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, at this moment the Yu army had suffered from the counterattack and siege of the Wei army, if he could successfully assassinate Yun Yanzheng, maybe he could also help the Yu army turn the tide. At this time, the soldiers in Hui City had all gathered at the head of the city to prepare for battle, and the city was relatively empty, so he and his companions cautiously laid an ambush inside and outside the pavilion, as long as they waited patiently for Yun Yanzheng to appear, they could start to act.

Despite Gu Yi and Yun Yanzheng's strict precautions and cover-ups in all aspects, Dai Qingying is an extremely experienced spy agent, and he finally analyzed from some clues that Yun Yanzheng must have been suffering from a dark illness recently. And last night, when they were caught off guard, Gu Xi led the troops out of the city quietly with the intention of sneaking out of the city instead of Yun Yanzheng, who was the commander-in-chief, which confirmed his guess even more. The group finally waited for Yun Yanzheng to return to the pavilion absentmindedly, with his keen sense of smell, he always felt that something big happened between the two armies, but at this moment, the gate of Huicheng City was more closely guarded, and it was impossible for him to go out of the city to deliver news, only to carry out the assassination, hoping to change the unknown situation.

As long as they wait until Yun Yanzheng dies and then create chaos in Huicheng City, they can shake and disturb the hearts of the Wei army and take the opportunity to escape. If he wasn't in a hurry to succeed, or because of the urgency of time, he would be able to succeed in one move as long as he waited until Yun Yanzheng fell asleep or the Gu in his body attacked.

However, all this unknowingly and miscalculated made the best timing deviate, so that Dai Qingying's continuous misses.

Dai Qingying only felt that the red rope tied to Yun Yanzheng's left arm was faintly strange, and in a hurry, at the moment when the red rope fell, he didn't have time to see the rhythm of the rice grains in the blood. He quietly guarded against her eccentricity, but the woman in front of him was obviously bloodless on her face, sweating like rain, and gasping for the most irregular breath like the weakest person. She should have seemed to have unbearable pain in her body, she should have seemed to be exhausted and unable to continue, but she stood like that, not standing upright and heroic; It's not a calm atmosphere that waits for the battle, but just standing simply like that, and even the body is a little rickety, but in this quiet and quiet, it exudes a murderous aura as if to choose someone to devour.

Although she created such a terrifying and murderous aura, Yun Yanzheng knew that she was at the end of her crossbow and was overwhelmed. But the fight at this moment is also the last game of Weiyu's battle, and she can't fall short no matter what. As long as no one knows that she has died before the Yu army retreats, then this battle to recover the city of Wei will end with the Wei army as the ultimate victor, and can be used to deter the Quartet, to calm the outside and the inside, temporarily ending the covetousness of those careerists to the Wei country.

A fast horse galloped along the road between the lockdown and the city of Hui, bypassing the official road and picking shortcuts on the small roads. The face of the person on the horse was grim, and from time to time he glanced at the crimson star in the sky. He carried the reins in one hand; With a whip in one hand, he has used his best control skills, and the white horse under his crotch is a good horse in a thousand, but at this moment, he is already gulping and breathing extremely anxious and disordered.

At the moment when Gu Yi suddenly left it, the white horse knelt down on his knees and collapsed to the ground. He jumped up to the treetops, and ran all the way to Huicheng, wearing stars and moons, like meteors. The generals at the towering head of Huicheng were almost dazzled by themselves, and a white shadow rushed up the wall like a wind, and the strong crossbows in everyone's hands were about to shoot at him.

Gu Xi grabbed the battle helmet, looked at Wei Chiying who was guarding the city with sharp eyes, and said hurriedly: "Where is Yun Shuai?" ”

After Wei Chiying was slightly stunned, he replied: "I have returned to the hotel." ”

At this moment, the rising sun had already broken through the clouds, and thousands of golden rays of light were sprinkled, but it reflected the pale look on the face of this white-robed and silver-armored young man, and his eyebrows were as deep as the abyss. But in an instant, the figure had already descended from the city and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the sergeants at the head of the city all rubbed their eyes together, secretly asking if they were hallucinating, and when they looked back and saw that everyone was like this, they were slightly sure that the person they saw was indeed Gu Junshi.

The scenery of the city is immersed in the mist and golden light of the early morning, and it seems to be a peaceful and tranquil place. Coupled with the news of the victory that will come soon, it will surely make these people who are shrouded in the shadow of the battle rejoice and celebrate, and it will be a sea of joy at that time.

Gu Xi rushed to the hotel without stopping for a moment, and he couldn't lose the person he had been trying to keep when everything was going in the direction he calculated. Frightened in his heart, but not flustered, when he pushed open the door of the hotel, and walked lightly all the way, the bloody scenes everywhere were all over his eyes, and sure enough, there was a life-and-death fight silently in this hotel.

However, what about the outcome of the fight?

Who wins, who loses, or loses?

The bloodstained corpses of the men in black were strewn everywhere, and they were slaughtered with brutality.

What about Yun Yanzheng? Gu Xi inspected the aura all the way, but there seemed to be a dead silence in the hotel. Yun Yanzheng's wings were destroyed by flowers and branches, the wall was constantly collapsing, this should have been the most fierce battlefield, his slender hand pushed open the hidden door, and a strong bloody breath came to his nose. Not far behind the door, there was a man in black who lay down, the look on that man's face was shocked, and there seemed to be a look of disbelief in his backwater-like eyes, what could make him so shocked?

Gu Xi raised his hand to cover his nose and continued to move forward, bypassing the hexagonal screen of Huilin Langao. What caught his eye was Yun Yanzheng hugging his feet and sitting on the Taishi chair. Her long hair was messy like a black waterfall spreading down to cover her entire face, and Jinjie's white clothes were no longer recognizable in their original colors, showing a brownish background and dyed bright red patterns in the dim light, and white became an embellishment, but such a heavy blood robe did not know whether it was her own blood, or both.

"Yun Shezhi." He frowned slightly and whispered to her.

Yun Yanzheng slowly raised his head from his knees, a pair of eyes that shimmered with a strange light stared at him defensively through his long hair covering his face.

"Yun Shezhi." Step by step, he slowly approached her, calling her name softly.

Yun Yanzheng straightened up a little stiffly, and her left hand seemed to slip away from the place where she hugged her feet, and she faintly saw her right hand covering her heart.

"Yun Shezhi." There was a hint of worry in his voice, but the look on his face remained calm and steady. Gu Xi didn't dare to continue to approach, he suddenly saw that the place where her right hand was against her heart revealed the delicately carved bronze end of a dagger, and her hand was inserting it into it with difficulty and slowly, but without stopping.

The current situation is like a puppet Gu is launching an attack in the body, trying to control a person's will. And the last remaining lucid will of her forcibly ordered herself to end her life by plunging the dagger into her heart, not to become a walking corpse, not to be controlled by others. She was not in a conscious state now, but she was just relying on her strong will to fight against the invasion of the puppet Gu, laboriously completing the last command she gave to her body in her mind little by little.

What a tenacious heart and what a strong spiritual will it takes to present such a state of resistance and unyieldingness.

"Yun Shezhi." His voice became softer and softer, with a faint sense of seduction, the shock in his eyes slowly receded, but there was a relaxed and leisurely smile, looking at her red eyes as if she had lost focus with the most gentle eyes, and said slowly: "We are victorious, the war is over, we can immediately set off back to Yuecheng to help Yan Jin solve the dilemma, why are you still sitting here in a daze?" Quick, get up, come with me, the horses are ready outside. ”

Yun Yanzheng's right hand paused, his eyes looked at the young man in front of him with a slight confusion, and his expression swept over his face with some doubt.

Gu Xi didn't dare to suddenly step forward to grab her dagger, for fear that once the dagger was snatched, the last bit of her spirit would be dissipated, and she would be completely eroded by the puppet Gu who was fighting. He didn't know if the Blood Gu could control the puppet Gu, and after such a few steps, it was impossible to judge the situation in her body with a pair of naked eyes, only when he saw that the red rope in her left hand was not tied to her arm, he thought that she had broken it and released the Blood Gu.

"Yan Jin is still waiting for you in the imperial mausoleum." What he knew in his heart, the only person she still cared about should be Yun Yanjin, and the victory of this war, these things should make her relaxed, and she would not lose her last will, she would go back to rescue Yun Yanjin.

"The Queen Mother is gone." She replied in a sad tone, "No one will take care of me in the future, I must take care of myself." ”

"You've managed yourself well." Gu Xi replied softly along with her words.

"Yes, I promised my mother to take care of herself, but you see I made myself like this, okay?" She replied softly, questioning him gently, wondering if she could tell who the person in front of her was, or if she had some subconscious question about who she wanted to confide in.
