Chapter 156: Bloodbath
Bai Qige woke up at nearly midnight, her mind was still a little drowsy, but the wound was not so painful, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qingjun's slightly emaciated cheeks pressed against her forehead, and the familiar breath completely enveloped her.
"How long did I sleep?" He spoke hoarsely, his voice weak.
Yi Chenjing didn't answer, lowered his head and gently pecked his chapped thin lips, and his arms tightened his thin shoulders: "We'll go to Lingyun City tomorrow morning." ”
This is to say that she is already serious, so serious that he has to let go of the war, right? Pulling the corners of his mouth and barely showing a smile, Bai Qige's cold fingers touched the blood-stained armor, the blood stains had long since dried up, you can imagine how long he stayed here, and how long she slept.
The symptoms of excessive blood loss are weakness, fainting and coldness, Bai Qige is so cold that she is about to be numb, even if she is held in Yi Chenjing's arms, she still feels cold to the heart and lungs, but she doesn't dare to say it, she has never seen Yi Chenjing's lost expression, she is afraid that saying it will make him more uncomfortable - no matter who he is uncomfortable for, in short, she will feel distressed when she sees it. Her feelings for Yi Chenjing are not covered with any impurities, even if he has hurt her and destroyed her, when he shows his infatuation and kindness, she still can't hold back and sink into the sea of love.
It's just that I don't know if the feelings in his heart are as clear and clean as hers, and have nothing to do with anyone else.
Finally stayed up until the dawn of the day, Chen An walked into the camp tent covered in dust and reported that the carriage was ready, Yi Chenjing refused to delay for a moment, and walked out of the tent with Bai Qige in his arms.
In fact, it can be regarded as a horse-drawn carriage, but it is a small cart made of sturdy wooden planks removed from the grain and grass cart, rough and simple, with leaky winds, but it is better than riding a horse and experiencing the wind and sand. Qiao Erhe carefully laid out the felt carpet and thin quilt, wiped his red eyes, moved his lips and wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, he could only watch Bai Qige, whose face was miserable, being carried into the car.
When the wheels rolled, Qiao Erhe still couldn't help crying, after all, he was young, and no one blamed anything, who could say whether he would see the peerless princess in the future?
Yi Chenjing was always silent and didn't like to talk much, and when the carriage walked out of Bai Qige and said lightly, he had some expressions.
"Let the soldiers all go back."
"What?"
Fei Li straightened up and leaned on Yi Chenjing's shoulder, Bai Qige grabbed the warm palm and sighed softly: "I can hear them, they are seeing them off." ”
Pushing the car door and looking back, Yi Chenjing gasped - inside and outside the camp, there were crowds, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it was the soldiers who spontaneously came to see Bai Qige off, and even he had never had the treatment, what kind of status Bai Qige had in the hearts of the soldiers can be imagined.
There were also four hundred and twenty-seven wounded soldiers who rushed to Lingyun City together, some of the slightly injured supported the seriously injured, and some of the more critical ones were crowded on top of several grain and grass carts, and the group slowly walked towards Lingyun City. The wound could not be healed, and it was easy to tear if there was a slight movement, so although everyone was in a hurry, they did not dare to ride a horse and gallop, Yi Chenjing was anxious in his eyes, and there was no way except to call Bai Qige's name over and over again as if he was stunned to confirm that she was not asleep.
A few days later, Lingyun City was in sight, but the number of four hundred and twenty-seven had been removed from nineteen, and under the vast land of Hongque Plain, there were nineteen more corpses and bones looking forward to returning to their hometown.
The war was won, and only the king of Dayao won it.
"General, something is wrong." When there was still half a day to get to Lingyun City, Zhou Shenjun suddenly knocked on the car door, his face was solemn, "I see a faint fire and black smoke over there in Lingyun City, and we haven't seen any residents in the city after walking for most of the day, so I always feel weird." ”
Yi Chenjing stretched out his finger and put it to his lips to signal Zhou Shenjun to silence, in his arms, Bai Qige fell asleep quietly, and his palms and wrists were blood-red.
Carefully settling Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing walked out of the carriage and looked at Zhou Shenjun with a frown, and sure enough, the lively border town of Lingyun City was unusually quiet, and the lanterns of peace that were hung at the head of the city on weekdays were gone, only a few wisps of faint black smoke rose and dissipated with the wind.
"Zhou joins the army, you first go to find out if something happened, don't have a conflict in case of an accident."
"Subordinates receive orders." Zhou joined the army with a puff of smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye, it became a small black spot, and the rest of the men and horses were still slowly advancing.
That was the last time Yi Chenjing saw Zhou join the army.
When it was dark, it was already very close to Lingyun City, Yi Chenjing called Chen An, who was also very confused about the situation in front of him, but Zhou joined the army and never came back, and the bleeding soldiers really couldn't be delayed any longer, and the group had only one way to continue to move forward.
When they arrived at the city gate, everyone finally understood what had happened in Lingyun City.
"Zhou joins the army!" A wounded soldier lying on a grain cart was the first to notice the anomaly, and pointed to the high place of the city gate with a sad and angry cry.
At night, the moonlight was clear, and the corpse of Zhou Senjun was hanging quietly on the top of the city gate of Lingyun City, and his clothes and light armor could no longer see his true colors, only the red and almost black dirt and the sticky smell on the ground.
Hearing the exclamation and jumping out of the carriage, Yi Chenjing was also shocked by this scene and was speechless for a long time, and then looked inward through the city gate, the neat houses were still there, and the ground was messy and messy, but he couldn't see that this was Lingyun City, that lively and clean peaceful town. A few fires were about to be extinguished, and wisps of smoke rose from the fires, and the whole city was quieter than the faint flames of the jumping, to the point of dead silence, silent.
Chen An walked forward in a daze, his eyes blank as if he couldn't believe what he saw, there was no people, no sound, no living creatures, no signs of the city being alive, the vegetable leaves, broken clothes, and pools of blood everywhere showed that the city had been attacked by a brutal and inhumane raid.
But what about people? Where are the people of Lingyun City? Whether it's dead or alive, at least let him see a corpse!
"Chen joins the army, be careful of deceit-" The soldiers not far away kindly reminded, and before the words fell, Chen An suddenly broke through the strange dead silence of Lingyun City with a twisted and sad roar, and poof, the seven-foot man knelt heavily on the ground, kneeling towards the side of the street.
The footsteps were steady and silent, and the corners of his clothes were bloody, Yi Chenjing was the first to walk to Chen An's side, and he was also the first to discover the hill in Lingyun City Street Square after Chen An.
Mountain of Corpses.
Full, mountains of corpses piled up with large and small corpses.
Hundreds or thousands can't be counted at all, the moonlight and silver glow are entangled with black and red blood, converging into a river of blood bubbling into the drainage ditch, passing through the streets and alleys that once walked happily, but there is no childish laughter, no beautiful singing, and no discussion in the streets and alleys after tea and dinner, only corpses, corpses, or corpses......
"What's wrong?" Sensing the abnormal atmosphere outside, Bai Qige struggled to get up and push the car door, and before she could look around, her warm but trembling palm covered her eyes.
"Don't look."
The choked voice made Bai Qige's heart tremble.
"What about the people, the people of Lingyun City? Why is it so quiet......" The smell of blood penetrated into his nose, and Bai Qige suddenly understood what he wanted the answer, such a strong smell of fish is not something that can be emitted by one or two people, but many, or, the people of the entire city. Yi Chenjing's trembling seemed to infect her, and her thin and cold body couldn't stop trembling, stubbornly pushing away the warm palm, Bai Qige didn't look in the direction where the smell of blood came from, but looked at Yi Chenjing, with red bloodshot eyes: "Is it from Huoluohe, or ...... Yi Chenxuan? ”
The rumbling sound of the door closing answered in place of Yi Chenjing, and the group of people looked back, only to see that the gate of Lingyun City, which had not been moved for many years, was forcibly closed, and more than 400 wounded soldiers were all caged.
"Caught in an ambush." The deep voice had no emotion, Yi Chenjing pulled out his sword, and the snow light and the sharp roar resonated in unison, "Chen An, Chen An?" You stand up for me! A kick on Chen An's back, Chen An, who was lost and depressed, stood up with grief, Yi Chenjing took Bai Qige out of the carriage and put it on the horse's back, and cut off the horse's restraints with a wave of his sword: "Chen An, listen, if you hand it over later, you must hide the princess and concubine, and you must not teach the enemy to find out." ”
Once discovered, Bai Qige's ending is unimaginable.
"Do you want to leave me behind?" Hearing Yi Chenjing's command, Bai Qige gritted his teeth and slid off the horse, grabbing Yi Chenjing's sleeve with all his strength, "I know that you can't be trusted when you speak." I don't want to think about it, since the other party was ambushed in advance, where do you think I can hide without being discovered? I'd rather hide and die than hide...... I'd rather die where you can see it. ”
Indeed, being able to bloody Lingyun City is waiting for them to walk into the trap, the other party is obviously prepared, they only have wounded soldiers and no soldiers, how can they fight against them? Even if you're lucky enough to find a place to hide, wouldn't it be easy to find her in this dead town? There is no way to ascend to heaven, there is no way to enter the earth, they are already trapped beasts, and there is no way to retreat.
"This is the last revenge of the Horohe Clan......" Looking at the short but stout figure gradually approaching in the distance, Yi Chenjing actually showed a wry smile.
Bai Qige is not panicked at the critical moment, this is one of the biggest differences between her and other women, what's the use of panicking, it depends on brains and guts to solve things, not screams and tears. After roughly determining the other party's situation, Bai Qige pulled Yi Chenjing: "There are not many of them, I think there should be no more than 100 people, it is nothing more than bullying our group of injuries, if you can find a point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it should not be a problem to annihilate them completely." A hundred steps back, it is better to delay the time and wait for General Xiao and them to come to Lingyun City to meet than to sit and wait for death. ”
"The Holo River Clan is fierce and fierce, you have seen it on the battlefield, and it is not so easy to defend." With a light sigh and supporting the swaying Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing quickly calmed down, "Chen An, take the people back and find a convenient place to guard it first-Chen An?" ”
Chen An, who is recognized as the best-tempered soldier in the army, is unknown today, he has been reluctant since he stepped into Lingyun City, and he has always strictly followed the military rules, but he actually ignored the arrangement of the main general Yi Chenjing, but walked towards the row of enemies who were holding on to the sword under the surprised gaze of all the soldiers, and the aura emanating from his body carried monstrous anger.
"Chen An, come back!" Yi Chenjing's angry shouts failed to stop Chen An's pace, and strangely, the enemy on the other side didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, and he only greeted him with a disdainful gaze and a mocking sneer when he approached. It was as if they had joined the army and were their ostracized companions.
A sense of foreboding enveloped his body, Yi Chenjing held Bai Qige's cold palm, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Chen An, what is your identity?"
Just like just now, Chen An didn't pay attention to Yi Chenjing's question at all, his flaming eyes looked straight at the enemy of the Huoluo River who had set up an ambush, and his clenched fists trembled slightly: "Why?" Obviously said that he would only kill the main general, why did he kill my innocent people in Dayao?! ”
