Chapter 311: The Fall of the Legend
Most of the generals love swords, and Bai Haocheng is no exception, he has never spent extravagantly in his life, but a Xiuyu sword in his hand was bought at a high price of hundreds of taels of silver for the first time. Fingertips brushed the well-maintained sword body with pity, Bai Haocheng showed a light smile, which outsiders couldn't understand, but felt that the smile was light but silent.
The soldier on the side of the "General ......" realized that something was wrong, but seeing that Bai Haocheng was holding the sword, he didn't dare to approach at all, for fear that he would hurt himself, so he could only whisper in vain.
Bai Haocheng ignored it, looked at the city again with a calm gaze, and looked at Yi Chenjing's anxious eyes for a short time before moving away.
"I decided to rob the prison without Qige's consent, and she was also taken away after being knocked unconscious, and now she is still locked somewhere by me and cannot move freely." The scabbard was casually thrown on the ground, and Bai Haocheng said to himself while pacing along the city wall, it sounded like he was exonerating Bai Qige and taking all the blame on himself, "King Min is unkind and unjust, and he is willing to be a slave when he dies in Zhaoguo, and he is overthrown for the sake of the people of Zhaoguo and not to demonstrate to Yaoguo, I hope His Majesty Emperor Yao can understand." ”
"General. What do you do with them? The general has always guarded our Zhao country and tried his best, we only recognize General Bai, not King Min. ”
There were excited soldiers shouting angrily, attracting other soldiers to echo one after another, Bai Haocheng waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, took off his helmet, and the premature appearance of his sideburns made people feel painful.
He is not yet in his prime, but he has borne the rise and fall of a country.
The old general behind Lu Kai showed a sneer, pulled his horse forward, and shouted arrogantly: "General Bai should make a decision as soon as possible, we don't have so much time to wait for you to hesitate, or does General Bai feel that it has not yet reached a critical juncture, and he wants to have more motivation." ”
With that, the old general waved his arm, and a line of about ten people was pushed to the front of the formation, all of them panicked and frightened, looking at the figure standing quietly on the head of the city. Those are innocent people with families and attachments, and they should not have been killed for no reason. Bai Haocheng felt a heartache, turned his head and took a deep breath, and there was a little sadness in his calm eyes.
The blade of the sword crossed, leaving a wisp of wind and a ray of silver light, there was no wind and no rain on the city, and there was a silent determination wafting in the humid air.
"What I did was not because I was afraid of the strength of the country, but because I didn't want to see more innocent people die in vain, after today, I hope that His Majesty Emperor Yao will keep his promise, return the freedom of the people of Liangshi City, and return the country to peace from now on. If it can be exchanged for this, Bai Hao City ...... Die without regrets. ”
No one saw how the Qingxiu jade sword danced, before the blood spurted, the Zhaoguo soldiers at the head of the city had blurred their eyes, all they could do was to stare and watch, watch the tragedy that they were powerless to stop from happening, and see how the most upright person in the world fell.
With a bang, the blood-stained Xiuyu Sword fell to the ground before Bai Haocheng's body.
With his own hot blood on his hands, Bai Haocheng never thought that the blood would have such a high temperature, burning the wound on his neck and the severe pain in his heart, as the blood splashed, the strength of his body dissipated, and his eyes became blurred, leaving only a blue sky, a still peace and tranquility.
In the end, he still failed the agreement with Yi Chenjing, and he couldn't protect his most beloved person as a brother for a lifetime, and he couldn't even see each other for the last time, maybe this is retribution, God's punishment for his unruly love.
So what, though.
Life or death, end or continuation, his heart has only one wish, and his mind will never change.
The end is the end, if it's for her.
"Qi Ge...... Look for...... ...... past"
In the pool of blood, the Zhongzhou military god, who had a killing and holy light from life to death, slowly closed his eyes, and the last smile couldn't tell whether it was satisfaction or regret.
The familiar bluestone paved road hurried by under the jumping footsteps, Yu Che hummed a cheerful little song full of sweetness, and the scenes in his mind flashed back to the tenderness that he couldn't forget, so he couldn't help but guess, did he find out. Her mind.
Such a gentle and kind person, such a hero who stands up to the sky, she once slept peacefully in his arms all night, warming her heart.
Pushing open the door, looking around, the slightly dilapidated wooden box was placed at the head of the bed, and the lid was gently opened with curiosity, and a bright yellow and a colorful piece broke into his eyes.
"Yikes. Kite. ”
Yu Che was ecstatic, took out the brand-new colored kite and held it high, and happily turned around twice in the sunlight outside the window.
He had promised to take her and Miss Zehu to fly kites when everything was over, and it seemed that he had not forgotten his promise, and had prepared such a surprise gift for her early on, so that she could smile with satisfaction in the messy environment. Sure enough, her favorite person is gentler than anyone else in the world.
"Mademoiselle will be pleased, too." Talking to himself, he was just about to step out of the door, when Yu Che suddenly remembered that there was another thing in the box, and carefully hugged the kite probe to look at it, only to realize that it was a scroll of holy decrees.
The holy decree is only qualified to be written by the emperor, and even King Zhaomin cannot transgress it, but how can there be a holy decree of the emperor in the Baihao city room. Yu Che frowned slightly, hesitated slightly, and took out the holy decree and unfolded it gently.
"How...... How so. ”
Yuche was dumbfounded.
The scroll of the holy decree was empty, and there was not a word in it.
The girl, who was carried away by happiness and surprise, gradually calmed down, recalling Bai Haocheng's strange behavior before leaving and the sudden appearance of the holy decree and kite, and her heart suddenly sank.
"I obviously said that I wouldn't do stupid things......" staggered back, a big tear fell to his feet, and Yu Che's face turned pale. Yes, it was she who believed in him too much, so she ignored his abnormal behavior under the boundless gentleness, but she didn't know if it was too late to rush now. Taking a deep breath and wiping away his tears, Yuche dropped the decree and the kite, and ran wildly in the direction of the northern city gate.
The same bluestone pavement, the same hurried footsteps, but the mood is very different, when he arrived under the city wall, Yu Che was already tired and out of breath, and his delicate face was pale and colorless.
"What about the second young master, where is the second young master." Panickedly, he grabbed a soldier and questioned loudly, resulting in a glance at the battlements and a low whimper from the soldiers around him. Yu Che just didn't listen, when those sobbing sorrows were for others, step by step, swaying up to the battlements.
Blood, blood all over the ground.
At first glance, I saw this.
"Has anyone informed General Bai?"
"What about the lieutenant. Where are the lieutenants? Are they all dead? Who's going to say what to do? ”
"Corpse...... Cover it first, don't let General Bai be exposed to the sun, it's unlucky......"
The noise was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, and Yu Che was not sure if anyone was calling or stopping him, and when he saw the calm and familiar face under the blood-stained armor, all thinking skills were quietly deprived. She couldn't convince herself that the person lying in the pool of blood on the ground was Bai Haocheng, just half an hour ago he was still holding her and smiling at her gently, how could the yin and yang be separated forever in the blink of an eye.
Such a gentle and kind person shouldn't end up like this.
The soldiers guarding the corpse of Bai Haocheng saw Yu Che staggering towards as if he had lost his soul, neither stopping nor stopping him, choking and wiping his eyes, unable to say a word.
"Second Young Master...... Yu Che came back...... "The little body knelt beside Bai Haocheng and called softly, but those bright eyes would never open again, and even the eyebrows refused to tremble lightly to make her feel at ease.
In an instant, the numbness was shattered by pain, the heartache swept over, and the terrible cry spread far away to the ranks of the remote army, making those who had nothing to do with it feel sad too.
The surrounding discussion became louder and louder, but Yi Chenjing couldn't listen to a word, his eyes were fixed on the half-covered figure on the battlements, even then he could see who that person was, and he understood what was going on.
Bai Haocheng killed himself in exchange for the withdrawal of the Yao army, and this seems to be an agreement between Bai Haocheng and Bai Haocheng behind his back, and in the name of Emperor Yao.
Zhao Guo is already a cage and trapped beast, no matter how strong the Bai family is, they can't break through the siege, Bai Haocheng is forced to choose the most tragic way out in order to protect the people in the city and protect Bai Qige. Yi Chenjing didn't know what kind of expression he was on now, the heat and pain all over his body couldn't compare to the heartache, and he couldn't resist the panic of what was about to happen, his body shook, and he almost fell off the horse.
Lu Kai glanced at the corner of his eye, and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Help the prince go back to the camp tent to rest." The whole army was ordered, and our army had eliminated the Zhaoguo garrison Bai Haocheng according to the prince's plan, and the whole army was immediately ready to attack the city at any time. ”
Yi Chenjing was shocked, full of anger, and the long sword burst out, pointing straight at Lu Kai.
"Lu Kai, what do you mean. What do you call my plan. Didn't you privately agree with General Bai to withdraw your troops? And what's going on with my father's decree. What the hell are you planning? ”
"Don't be angry, the prince will act according to the rules, there is nothing wrong with it." Lu Kai dodged the trembling blade, squinting his eyes with an expression full of indifference, "Who can prove that the last general has reached any agreement with Zhaoguo." What Bai Haocheng said just now was all made up by himself, and he wanted to force our army back to death, what kind of joke. ”
Yi Chenjing naturally didn't believe what he said, and barely stood up and panted: "Don't pretend to be confused with me." General Bai will not mention the holy decree for no reason, let alone abandon the Bai family and the people to kill himself inexplicably, it must be Yi Chenxuan and you who secretly made trouble to deceive him into believing it. What about the Holy Decree. Where is the holy purpose of his statement. If the Bai family comes up with your forged holy decree, I see how you can quibble. ”
"Hahahaha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is joking." Facing Yi Chenjing's angry accusations, Lu Kai laughed loudly, "There has never been any holy decree, and the last general has said that it was made up by Bai Haocheng who was stupid. Now that he has been killed by his own imagination, who can blame him? His death is not his business, our army still has to capture Liang Shicheng according to the emperor's order, if the prince is obstructed by favoritism...... Then it's no wonder that the last general is not emotional. Someone, take the prince away. ”
Obvious conspiracy, full trickery, do you still need evidence?
Yi Chenjing struggled desperately, but he was injured and couldn't lift his strength at all, and was held by two strong soldiers and couldn't move. Just when the soldiers of Zhaoguo and the Yao army fell into chaos at the same time, the Yao army who took the lead suddenly heard a cry of surprise, and then, a dense rain of arrows attacked wildly, although because the distance was too far and there was a big shield to resist and not hurt the soldiers of the Yao army, it still surprised everyone.
Such a distance has long exceeded the maximum range of ordinary hard bows, and every arrow is shot out with a burst of sky-high rage.
