XXIII. Between Life and Death

The Rockfall Fort was not too big, and the Metropolitan Inspector occupied a mansion on the left.

Compared with the time when he was in the Xuanning City Mansion, the guards of the Metropolitan Inspectorate were only a few dozen, and there was no advantage in the fortress where almost all soldiers were soldiers.

However, the eyes of the soldiers looking at them were very different from when they were in Xuanning City.

In addition to being vigilant, a little more close.

No matter what the world says, these guards fought bloody battles with them, and they are comrades from birth to death.

Therefore, seeing that the guards of the Metropolitan Inspector were blank and cold, and pulled out their swords against all those who approached, the guards were not too angry.

They stepped forward to help stop them, explaining and persuading them in low voices.

"Huo Dudu's injury is not light, and that young lady is also seriously injured, they are in a hurry now."

"Wait"

Wait? Liang Wuzi couldn't wait, standing not far away and watching this scene, Liang Liuzi snorted, although he felt that there was no need to see Huo Lian, but since it was Liang Wuzi's dying wish, of course he wanted to let the fifth brother get his wish.

He turned around to the other side, found the hidden dog hole in the courtyard and climbed in, every fort along the border was familiar to their brothers, from small to large.

There were no guards on duty in the courtyard, so Liang Liuzi grabbed a stone and smashed it on the closed window.

Once at a very young age, smashing windows was also one of the ways for teenagers to communicate.

"Huo Lian! Get out!" Liang Liuzi shouted, "Fifth brother wants to see you."

Speaking of this, I felt that it was wrong again, and snorted.

"General Liang Wu wants to see you!"

The door was closed and there was no movement, and the guards on duty outside rushed in and drew their knives against Liang Liuzi without hesitation.

"Don't scare me, this is the Northern Navy, not the capital!" Liang Liuzi also drew his knife, "It's not so easy for you to kill me!"

Seeing Liang Liuzi pull out his sword, the generals of the Northern Navy not only watched the excitement, but also rushed over.

There was tension in the courtyard, the closed door opened, and Huo Lian stood at the door, looking at Liang Liuzi.

"Is Liang Wuzi going to die?" He asked.

Liang Liuzi gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

Huo Lian said coldly, "There are many dead people, what is the big deal? You're going to smash people's doors and windows?"

This bastard! Liang Liuzi glared, and the next moment sneered: "It's not a big deal for a person to die, I specially told Du Du, lest Your Majesty ask in the future, Huo Du Du Don't slander us for faking our lives to escape."

With that, he turned and strode away.

The guards in the courtyard also retreated, and silence was restored, Huo Lian stood motionless at the door, and suddenly smiled: "He has a point." Then he looked back, "I'll take a look, and I'll be back in a moment."

The man lying on the planks in the room was silent and did not respond.

.......

........

When Liang Wuzi woke up again, he saw his brothers gathered in front of the bed.

"I just fell asleep while talking?" He asked in a weak voice.

Liang Dazi squeezed out a smile: "No, the third child is in a hurry, and I don't know where you hide the money."

Liang Wuzi seemed to be about to laugh, but now he couldn't laugh heartily anymore, and only showed a silent laughing expression.

"It's true, since I was a child, my money was cheated out and spent by the third brother." He said, looking at Liang Sanzi.

Liang Sanzi is short and chubby, his eyes are always smiling, and he looks like a rich face, and he is still smiling at this time, but his smile is not good-looking.

"I don't have anything to explain, I've been leading soldiers all my life, and our Northern Navy doesn't have the problem of dying a single general and the soldiers are scattered." Liang Wuzi continued, "So if you die, you will take off your armor and everything will be light, and I don't need to think about it anymore."

[In view of the general environment,

His gaze swept over the people in front of the bed.

"It's so good to be able to die in bed and see everyone, my Liang Wuzi."

This made everyone laugh again, although there were tears in their eyes.

"I don't have any regrets, you're all ......"

Liang Wuzi continued, his eyes burst into brilliance, and the person also struggled to sit up from half-lying down.

"Even the Seven Sons are here!"

"I know, it was a flag, and a soldier happened to be carrying it, but, so coincidentally, I believe that the Seven Sons really came at that moment."

He said and held out his hand.

Liang Dazi hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and the other brothers also stretched out their hands, and several people's hands were tightly clasped with Liang Wuzi's hands.

But Liang Wuzi still held his hand up, looked at the past, and seemed to be waiting.

Everyone also knew who he was waiting for, someone glared at Liang Liuzi, and Liang Liuzi looked innocent: "I called." And whispered, "He doesn't listen to me, you all know that dog."

Seeing that Liang Wuzi's eyes were dilated, but his body was still tense, Liang Sanzi whispered, "I'll call him again, even if I trick him over.....

Before he finished speaking, he heard some noise outside, as if someone was about to come in, and the guards were blocking it, and then a male voice came coldly, "Didn't you say that you were going to die, let me come and watch and testify?"

Huo Lian!

The Liang brothers looked surprised, happy and complicated, and Liang Wuzi's eyes lit up again.

Liang Dazi hurriedly shouted to the outside world, "Come in!"

The noise dissipated, Huo Lian walked in, stopped at the door and looked at this side.

Liang Wuzi also looked at him, as if he was about to say something, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.

Huo Lian looked at him, slowly raised his feet and walked over in the silence, one step at a time, and finally stood in front of the bed, in the eyes of everyone, he raised his hand and put it on Liang Wuzi's hand, mixed with the hands of others.

Liang Wuzi smiled, nodded, and looked around again.

"Alright." He said.

He spit it out in one breath and passed away.

The body fell limply, and the hands held by everyone drooped weakly, accompanied by the brothers who cried out, "Five sons—"

The quiet room was instantly chaotic, some people knelt down and pounded the bed, some people helped Liang Wuzi to lie down, and some people hurriedly shouted out to the doctor.

Huo Lian stood in it and watched quietly, what should she do when her relatives died?

Liang Qizi is not dead, he is missing, although there is a high probability that he has died in the territory of the Yihuang people, but because he has not seen the corpse, everyone only thinks that he is still alive.

Liang Temple, the first time he faced the death of a relative, but it was his severed head and his life.

How should he react? There was no response, a blank slate.

Now that Liang Wuzi has passed away, he is no longer Liang Bazi, a stranger named Huo Lian, how should he react?

He didn't know.

There was a cacophony of chaotic shouts all around, but it was a layer away from him, hazy and real, until a voice suddenly came.

"The Governor—"

"Miss Seven Stars—"

Seven Stars, What Happened to Seven Stars? Huo Lian raised his head reluctantly, the noisy chaos was thrown away by him, and he looked at the people who rushed in.

It's the Metropolitan Inspector Guard.

Before he came out, he ordered them to keep watch, and also ordered the doctors to wait in the courtyard, just in case.

At this moment, looking at the face of the Metropolitan Inspector Guard, his hand hanging by his side clenched.

So, she-

"She's awake." Bing Wei said hurriedly.

Huo Lian was stunned, her tense shoulders slowly drooped, she woke up, sure enough, she knew that she would definitely wake up.

The corners of his mouth gradually spread into a smile.

Liang Liuzi looked up and saw it, and his red eyes were about to scold, "You are still laughing-"

Liang Dazi endured his grief and slapped him in the face and interrupted him.

"Miss Seven Stars is awake, of course it's a happy thing." He said, "To be alive is to be happy!"

Huo Lian glanced at him, and then at Liang Wuzi, who had already been placed on the bed.

"Go and see

Miss Seven Stars." Liang Dazi whispered, "We are here."

Huo Lian withdrew her gaze from Liang Wuzi, touched her right hand, and strode out.

"Governor, but Miss Seven Stars isn't at home." The Inspector Guards followed, saying, "The men of Momen have called her away."

Huo Lian's footsteps paused slightly, these days the people of Momen often come to him, he naturally knows, although he did not let them take Qixing away, but he did not hide Qixing's situation from them, and guaranteed that Qixing would wake up.

But when he woke up again, he was also an injured person, how could the people of Momen be so ignorant?

"Or rather, it was the people of Momen who woke up Miss Seven Stars." Du Cha Si Bing Wei continued, telling me what happened, as soon as Huo Lian left, the people from Momen came over, claiming to be the two elders of Miss Qixing's family.

They said in the courtyard, "The stone is so badly wounded that it doesn't look like it's going to survive." "Anyway, your brother and sister are the closest in this world, and you should let her know." "Let's see if we can carry someone over and see each other."

The guards also knew who the stone they were talking about, the young man named Chen Shi, who was also fighting on the battlefield together, and was seriously injured, and he had been treating.

Although they are also sad that people can't do it, they still can't agree to carry Miss Seven Stars over.

While they were talking, there was a sound of chains in the room, and before they could rush in to look, the door was opened, and Miss Seven Star was standing in the doorway.

Maybe that scene was too weird, and the guard paused as he said this, touched the back of his hand, and pressed down the hair that stood on end again.

"Then, Miss Seven Stars went with them to see Chen Shi."

To see Chen Shi, Huo Lian knew that Chen Shi and the others were nourishing the wounded soldiers, so he turned around and walked over there, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw two girls, one big and one young, running out, followed by Meng Xichang, who was wrapped in a wounded cloth.

"Brother Meng, hurry up." The girl shouted, "Miss Seven Stars is going to throw Chen Shi into the casting pool!"

Throw into, minting pool? Huo Lian was stunned.

.......

.......

The underground entrance to the Great Wall in the north is bustling with activity.

In addition to all kinds of underground workmanship, casting pools and furnaces have also been set up outside to refine various utensils.

At this time, the busy casting stopped, and the craftsmen, including the guards guarding the side, looked in amazement at the largest casting pool, on which a woman was placing a man on a stone platform by the fire.

Behind her were several people following.

"Miss Seven Stars, how can you treat Chen Shi's injuries here?"

Qixing suddenly appeared in the wounded barracks, everyone didn't have time to surprise, she said that she could save Chen Shi's life, and then let him carry it over, and when he arrived at the casting pool, he carried the person himself......

They went from anticipation to puzzlement to surprise, and finally decided at this moment.

"Miss Seven Stars, are you going to throw him into the casting pool?"

Seven Stars looked at them and nodded, "Yes."

The burning hearth on the side reflected her blushing.

"Forge him into a sword, and he will live."

What? Several people looked shocked.

Another hand lifted up and grabbed Seven Stars' arm.

Chen Shi, who was lying on the stone platform, didn't know when he woke up, his voice was weak and hoarse and trembling.

"Little girl, I think I can save it in another way."
