Xunzhou Rebirth Chapter 18: Massacre (1)
Zhou Ranmiao was about to listen to it any more, when another petite voice interrupted Emperor Zhou's conversation.
"Father!" Zhou Ranxi threw herself into Emperor Zhou's arms with her skirt, smiling happily.
"Little princess, slow down......" The maid behind Zhou Ranxi was anxious and whispered.
"Eh, my father's little princess." As soon as Emperor Zhou saw Zhou Ranxi, he immediately changed his expression, smiled, and said to the maidservant at the door: "It's okay, you go down." ”
"Yes." The people all withdrew.
Only then did Emperor Zhou turn back and talk to Zhou Ranxi.
"Xi'er, why are you so happy, let's talk to my father about it."
"Father, this Yihe grassland is really much more interesting than the palace! Ciel just caught the rabbit! I also caught butterflies, which was very interesting! Zhou Ranxi said with a smile.
It's better to be a person who doesn't understand war.
"Ciel ......"
Zhou Lingan wanted to remind Zhou Ranxi that this was Emperor Zhou's sore spot after all, but it was very interesting to make Zhou Ranxi say it, who told her not to understand, but Zhou Lingan didn't know how to remind her.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xi'er is happy, isn't it?" Emperor Zhou smiled bitterly at Zhou Ling'an.
"Is it okay for Father to go with Xi'er?" Zhou Ranxi tilted his head and said.
"Xi'er, my father has something to do in a while, can you ask the starling brother and the ninth brother to accompany you?" Zhou Huang said.
"Hmm...... Okay, Xi'er will come back to her father in the evening. Zhou Ranxi pouted and bowed shallowly.
It's just that before Zhou Ranxi came out of the imperial tent, the signal soldiers rushed in in a panic at this moment.
"Newspaper - Your Majesty! The Yuan army has reached the other side of the Yi River and is fighting with the Four Highnesses! ”
Emperor Zhou's face changed suddenly, and the faces of Zhou Lingan and Zhou Yanbing were instantly ugly.
Only Zhou Ranxi, her face was full of doubts, and she turned around and asked Emperor Zhou: "Father, what is war?" ”
Emperor Zhou changed his face again, "Fighting...... Fighting is ......" Emperor Zhou said hesitantly, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, he approached and grimaced at Zhou Ranxi, "Slightly! ”
"Ahh Why did my father scare Xi'er......" Zhou Ranxi immediately covered his face.
"Don't cry, Xi'er is a coward when she cries!" Emperor Zhou took Zhou Ranxi into his arms and coaxed him carefully.
"Father."
"Father!"
Seeing that he couldn't hear anything useful like this, Zhou Ranmiao and Zhou Jiuli both ran into the imperial tent.
Emperor Zhou's heart is tired, it's enough to coax a child, it's good now, you have to coax three.
"So what the hell is war?" Zhou Jiuli hugged Emperor Zhou's sleeve and asked.
"Fighting...... Do you remember the story your father told you? Want...... Fight monsters, fight bad guys, the father and the emperor are going to fight the bad guys, now you understand? ”
"That father is so powerful! Father must win! Zhou Ranmiao said with a smile, laughing ignorantly.
"Okay, my father will definitely win, I'm away for a long time, I'm dying, let's go and take Xi'er to play, and my father will go to you in a while, okay?" Emperor Zhou's face was full of loving smiles.
"Good! Ciel, let's go! Zhou Ranmiao pulled Zhou Jiuli with his left hand and Zhou Ranxi with his right hand, and they ran and played as much as they could in the wilderness.
It's a pity that it's the last time.
"I never thought it would be the last time, I never dared to think it would be the last time...... I can't think about it...... I don't dare to think about it......" Zhou Ranmiao cried.
Emperor Zhou's last sad and reluctant eyes, Zhou Ranmiao didn't understand until now, it was too late.
Zhou Ranmao really hated, which prince was eight years old and didn't know anything about this? Zhou Jiuli was born with a heart disease, and he couldn't live for a few years, so Emperor Zhou wanted him to play carefree, but Zhou Ranmiao was disease-free, but he didn't want to learn what he should have learned as a prince.
"I hate myself! I hate myself...... Why should I live, I should die! I should have died! It should be me who died......" Zhou Ranmiao beat himself.
Towards sunset, the slaughter began.
A war drum sounded, shattering Zhou Ranmao's dream of having fun all his life, and he looked at the other side of the Yi River in horror.
Xia Jiajun, is Xia Jiajun, the middle, the tall horse, Xia Jingzhi, Xia Jingsheng on the left, Xia Jingxuan on the right, behind the battle, a woman who was tied, Mrs. Yu, in the formation, the Xia Jiajun in Wuyang.
"Run! Run! ”
On the bank of the Yi River, Zhou Yanbing roared hoarsely, he rode a war horse, brandished a spear, and was powerless to resist foreign enemies, with a steady stream of black blood in his mouth.
"Yan Bing!" Emperor Zhou shouted not far from Zhou Yanbing, and Zhou Ling'an and Gu Yuan's eyes widened.
Zhou Yanbing looks like this, and he can't live now.
"Father! Brother Huang! Run! The Yi River was besieged...... The fourth and fifth brothers are gone...... The front is lost! ”
Zhou Yanbing was talking, but was pierced in the chest by a sword from a Xia Jiajun, Zhou Yanbing's eyes widened in horror, and he was kicked off the war horse by Xia Jiajun, and in the end, he left this world with that frightened look, and died without turning a blind eye.
"Yan Bing!" Emperor Zhou's eyes were about to split, he tried his best to shake off the two Xia family soldiers beside him, and drove his horse towards Zhou Yanbing's corpse.
"Father!"
"Father, be careful! Don't go over! The second brother is gone! ”
Gu Yuan and Zhou Lingan shouted one after another, and hurriedly followed Emperor Zhou.
"Set fire." Xia Jingzhi smiled and waved his hand, his expression was so relaxed.
As soon as the words fell, a sea of fire burned on the bank of the Yi River, bringing despair and death.
Zhou Lingan and Gu Yuan were surrounded in the sea of fire, and the war horses stopped moving.
"Ling An! Yuan'er! Emperor Zhou ran back again, gritted his teeth, and drove his horse into the sea of fire, regardless of the burns of the flames, he desperately took Zhou Lingan and Gu Yuan out of the sea of fire.
"Father, you're injured!" Zhou Lingan was full of anxiety.
"Leave my father alone! Quick, Ling An, Yuan'er, you hurry back to the main camp and take your younger brothers and sisters to run, and your father can hold on for a while! Emperor Zhou pushed, picked up the spear again, and was about to fight with Xia Jingzhi.
"Father! Father, don't go...... Father, you run...... You take your younger brothers and sisters with you, and your sons go...... Erchen go and block it! Let's go! Zhou Ling grabbed Emperor Zhou's sleeve tightly.
"If you don't leave now, you can't leave! Hurry up! Emperor Zhou roared.
"Father ......" Both Zhou Lingan and Gu Yuan cried, and their iron bones shed bloody tears.
"Don't cry! Run! Zhou Ling'an Gu Yuan listened to the order! ”
"Erchen is in ......"
"I command you to run! Do you know that if you don't protect them, how can you afford to be a brother! Ling An! You are the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father! If your father dies, you'll be the only one who can protect your younger siblings, you know! Take them with you, run! ”
"Father's ......"
"The ends of the earth, don't come back!"
Emperor Zhou pushed Zhou Lingan and Gu Yuan away, and drove his horse towards the Xia family's army, he was ready to die.
It is said that the emperor is ruthless, maybe Emperor Zhou had an accident, he knows that he is the emperor, but he knows that he is a father, he rushes to death to protect his children.
"Run!" Zhou Lingan gritted his teeth and forced himself to shout this word, if he didn't run again, Emperor Zhou would die in vain.
Zhou Lingan and Gu Yuan rushed back to the main camp, Zhou Lingan took the older prince to resist, Gu Yuan immediately asked the queen, the princesses and the young Zhou Jiuli and Zhou Ranhao to run, Gu Yuan risked his life and ran to the imperial tent, holding his two younger brothers Gu Yun and Gu Zheng to the queen and letting them run.
"Ah Yuan! You don't have to worry about me! Run! Zhou Lingan rushed to Gu Yuan who ran to him and shouted.
But Gu Yuan ignored it, and still desperately went to help Zhou Lingan.
But how can the strength of a few people compare to what Xia Jingsheng said later, the Xia family army with one enemy and ten?
Soon...... Soon......
"Poof!"
"Seventh brother!" Zhou Lingan shouted.
"Brother Huang save me......"
"Sixth brother!" Gu Yuan shouted.
Two voices sent away two lives.
He said that he was born as the heir of the emperor, and he had the responsibility to protect his subjects, so he fought bloodily and swore to the death.
The three brothers fought their way and tried their best to take on the responsibility of being the prince.
"Brother Huang! The royal brother ...... "And Zhou Ranmiao at that time, he could only cry weakly, unable to do anything, he was strangled by the queen's wrist and dragged away.
"Kill this king." Xia Jingzhi's expression was not quiet now, and he smiled terribly.
Tens of thousands of Xia family troops obeyed the order to kill Yihe, and the Zhou family couldn't escape.
Zhou Lingan failed to catch up with Zhou Ranmiao and them to escape, was shot off his horse by an arrow, and died in tears that he could not see the safety of his relatives.
"Yuan'er, you run...... Run, ......" The second prince fell on the grassland and finally said this. Gu Yuan was overwhelmed with grief, and finally glanced at Zhou Lingan and the second prince, he rode his horse and ran immediately, he knew that this was not the time to be impulsive, the queen and the royal brothers and sisters still needed him, he caught up with the fleeing people, but he never thought that the entire Yihe River was surrounded by the Xia family legions, and he couldn't run.
