Chapter 305: The Ballad of the Autumn Goose
Lin Muyu pulled out the arrow on Qin Lei's arm, hugged him, and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, Brother Qin Lei...... I will protect her in your place and will not let anyone hurt her......"
Qin Lei didn't speak, his body gradually became cold, and the last strength of his life slowly passed away.
Wei Qiu, Xiahou Sang and other royal forest guards all turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
The Great Qin Empire's Imperial Forest Guard, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Qin Lei, was martyred.
......
"Get on the horse and go find His Highness Yin. โ
Lin Muyu turned over and wiped away the tears on his face, he thought that he was just a passerby in this world, but today, he is no more.
On the side of the road, groups of refugees fled from Lanyan City, but more and more hunting teams awaited them.
Lin Muyu carried the dragon spirit sword, rode a horse and took Wei Qiu, Xiahou Sang and others to cruise back and forth, but did not kill anyone, in front of them, a group of ragged people immediately frightened when they saw their group of people wearing Yihe ** suits, but they couldn't run anymore, just sat in the forest, hugged their heads and cried.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and stepped forward immediately: "Don't cry, we are not from the Boxer Kingdom, let me ask you, who of you knows where His Royal Highness Qin Yin is." โ
"You...... You are not a member of the Righteous Kingdom. A girl in her mid-20s asked, crying.
"Well, no, we are emperors, but we have changed into the clothes of the Boxers. โ
"Then you ......" The girl suddenly burst into tears, rushed forward and waved her fist at Lin Muyu, crying and said, "You waste...... What kind of emperor **, actually let the dog thieves of the Boxer country kill so many innocent civilians of us, you are not the emperor**, you are just a group of waste, a group of useless waste. โ
Lin Muyu endured her beating and didn't say a word, this may be what she deserves, Lanyan City was broken, and every emperor has an unshirkable responsibility.
On the side, Wei Qiu's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Enough, do you think we don't want to fight, do you think we have fewer dead, do you know that the 17,000 people of the Flying Cavalry Battalion have been wiped out, do you know that in order to save you, there are only 1,000 of the 20,000 imperial warriors left in the Gentian Battalion, do you know that Qin Lei, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and Chu Huaiwei, the commander of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, have been martyred, do you know that the person you are fighting has stabbed hundreds of Boxer soldiers, yes, you are civilians, you can not participate in the war, but... ... Lanyan City is the home of all of us, the homeland is broken, no one can shirk the responsibility, we are soldiers, it is our duty to fight for the country, but ...... Please stop humiliating our dignity as soldiers. โ
The girl stood there in a daze, and after a while, wept and said, "We...... Will we ever be able to go home later. โ
"Yes. โ
Lin Muyu said softly: "Lanyan City will inevitably recover, it won't be too long, you guys hurry up and escape, the farther away the better, and you can go home after hearing the news of Lanyan City's recovery." โ
"Thank you, sir. โ
"Let's go. โ
A group of people stood up and left, and at this moment, an old man holding a horse-head qin walked over and said, "My lord, the highness Qin Yin you are looking for...... I don't know the old man, but just now I saw a group of people, among them there was a woman with an extraordinary bearing, not like an ordinary woman, and she was holding a very noble-looking Yaoqin in her arms......"
"Yaoqin. โ
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Where is she." โ
"Just due east in the jungle, a few minutes ago. โ
"Well, thank you, old man. โ
Lin Muyu glanced at Wei Qiu and the others, and said, "Go full speed and find Xiao Yin." โ
"Hmm. โ
......
More than a dozen people passed through a jungle, and further on, it was indeed a team of refugees, about 200 people up and down, one by one, staggering, the territory of Lanyan City was so big, they were exhausted the moment they escaped from Lanyan City, but they still had to suffer from countless Boxer cavalry pursuits.
An old woman turned around and saw Lin Muyu and the others, and immediately shouted in disarray: "Oh no...... Oh no, the demons of the Boxer Kingdom are here again, they are here again. โ
But no one seemed to be able to run, and one of the middle-aged men held a shovel and said, "Fight with them." โ
"yes, fight with them. โ
Lin Muyu galloped over, the man with the shovel suddenly bent over, and the shovel swept towards the front hooves of the Jedi, but the Jedi was a good horse from the endless forest, and he jumped up to avoid it, Lin Muyu quickly turned around and said in a low voice: "Don't do it, we are not volunteers." โ
Behind him, there was a sound of the sword blade unsheathed, Lin Muyu suddenly turned around, and saw the golden god-binding lock martial soul lingering around the blade, he hurriedly lifted his cloak and said loudly: "Xiao Yin, it's me." โ
"Ah......h
Qin Yin suddenly exclaimed, the Ziyin Sword in her hand fell to the ground with Yaoqin, she jumped into Lin Muyu's arms, howling and crying, but she didn't say a word.
Lin Muyu hugged Qin Yin and stroked her back, and after nearly ten minutes, Qin Yin finally raised her head and said, "Lanyan City is broken...... The empire is no longer ......"
"No, the empire will be rebuilt, and the homeland can be rebuilt, but we must not lose faith. Lin Muyu looked at her deeply and said, "Xiaoyin, you have to be strong, all of us are waiting for you to lead everyone to rebuild the empire." โ
Qin Yin whined, tears fell uncontrollably, and said, "Lan Yancheng...... How's it going. โ
"The walls were broken on all sides. โ
Lin Muyu said in a trembling voice: "Chu Huai has been martyred...... Qin Lei was also martyred......"
"Ah......h
Qin Yin's body trembled slightly, and he looked in the direction of Lan Yancheng with teary eyes, and said, "What's wrong with the empire...... Brother Ayu, do you have any news of the Wind Succession? โ
"No, I didn't. โ
Lin Muyu shook his head and said, "Xiao Yin, is there any news of Elder Qu and Archdeacon Lei Hong, and there are ...... Chu Yao's news, do you know. โ
Qin Yin said: "Elder Qu was originally with us, but in order to distract the attention of the volunteers, he was separated from us, Archdeacon Lei Hong escorted the medical officers of the Elixir Division to take refuge in the temple, and Sister Chu Yao was among them, but ...... But I heard that Luo Lan, a god realm powerhouse, has already gone to the temple, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......"
"Sister Chu Yao will be fine......" Lin Muyu said blankly, but he couldn't even convince himself of this sentence.
At this moment, Wei Qiu suddenly whispered: "Commander, someone has come, it is the people of the Righteous Kingdom, at least a cavalry of thousands of people, what should we do, if we leave, I am afraid that His Highness Yin and the people will ......"
"Don't go. โ
Lin Muyu said lightly: "Even if you die, you have to protect this group of people, but don't do it lightly, we can't fight the thousand-man cavalry." โ
"Yes. โ
......
Lin Muyu turned around on horseback, and walked over to meet the Boxer soldiers who came over, there was a commander in this group of people, his eyes were very bright, and he immediately hugged his fists and smiled: "It turns out that the general is here, and his subordinate is Ding Xi, the commander of Sunset City, I don't know that the general is here...... What a reason to be with a bunch of imperial thieves. โ
"It turned out to be General Ding Xi. โ
Lin Muyu smiled and said: "I have been fighting continuously these days, and my body is a little tired, I just chased here, and found that there was a piano girl in the crowd who could play music, so ...... Hey, just stay and listen to her play a few tunes. โ
Ding Xi glanced at Qin Yin in the crowd, a trace of consternation passed over his face, and then showed a knowing expression: "The general is really good-looking, the marshal has already ordered the slaughter of the city, if the general likes this woman, he can take it away by himself, hehe...... As for this group of imperial thieves, the subordinates cleaned up for the general. โ
"Not necessarily. โ
Lin Muyu raised his hand and said, "Don't let the blood spoil the interest, General Ding will go by himself, this group of people...... I'll cook it myself after that, don't worry. โ
"Yes, General, then General...... Hey, the last general will also stay, and after listening to the song with the general, you can go on the journey. โ
"Good. โ
Lin Muyu sat down cross-legged, Wei Qiu, Xiahou Sang and others also sat down together, under Lin Muyu's gaze, Qin Yin lifted the cloak to cover his face, sat cross-legged on the grass silently, straightened the strings of the Yaoqin, and slowly played it, his red lips opened lightly, and he sang the war song "The Ballad of the Autumn Goose" of the Great Qin Empire with the tune, and the words fell like a drizzle in the hearts of every emperor.
The world is vast, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful
The icy moonlight enters the battlefield
The rice river is green, and the breeze is blowing
The warriors of the empire went to their homeland together
Kill all the jackals, and be frivolous all your life
Who will soothe my wounds?
The way home is no longer in sight
Looking at the eyes and wanting to wear, I only sigh that the mountains are high and the waters are long
Criss-cross the Quartet, always defend the country
What if the soul returns to the end of the world
Where are the warriors buried in broken robes?
Autumn geese, please take my soul back to my hometown
......
When the song was finished, Wei Qiu, Xiahou Sang and others were already in tears, Lin Muyu also had a sour nose, thinking of the death of Chu Huaiwei, Qin Lei and others, perhaps, Qin Yin's song can comfort these souls, as well as himself and Wei Qiu, the soldiers left over from the empire.
Ding Xi's eyes were also red, he turned over his horse, hugged his fists and said, "General, the last general is gone...... I also hope that the general will cherish it, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the future will be expected. โ
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, could it be that this Ding Xi had already seen that the girl who was Fuqin was Qin Yin.
It must be, but Ding Xi actually let his group go.
Not long after Ding Xi led his troops away, the sound of horses' hooves came from the east again, and a large group of people rushed out of the jungle, holding the battle flag of the gentian battalion in their hands, and although this group of people looked wolf-bรจi, but in the morning light, the emperor ** emblem on everyone's chest was glowing with such a charming luster, it was Luo Yu and the others who came.
"Your Excellency. โ
Luo Yu also recognized Lin Muyu and the others, and immediately turned over and dismounted and knelt down and said, "We...... We didn't find Her Highness Yin......"
"It's okay, I found it. โ
Lin Muyu stretched out his hand and pointed back, and said, "Come and see His Highness Yin." โ
Suddenly, more than a thousand mercenaries of the Gentian Battalion all turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and saluted, "Your subordinates see His Highness Yin." โ
Qin Yin was moved in her heart, and raised her hand: "Get up." โ
Lin Muyu said: "Time is urgent, don't delay, Wei Qiu, Luo Yu, you are all in one place, escort His Royal Highness Yin out of Lanyan City." โ
"My lord, where are we going? Luo Yu asked.
"Longyan Mountain, bar......"
Lin Muyu thought for a while and said, "After getting in touch with Yunzhong Province, I will escort His Highness to Dusk Rain City, no matter what, Gong Yun is His Highness's grandfather and will protect her." โ
"Yes. โ
Seeing Lin Muyu turn over and get on the horse, Luo Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, where are you going." โ
"I ...... I'm going to look for Chu Yao. โ
Lin Muyu's expression darkened, and said: "As soon as Brother Chu Huaiyu dies, I will be her only relative, I must find Chu Yao, otherwise I will be sorry for Brother Chu's spirit in the sky." โ
"My subordinates will come with you. โ
"Don't mess around, you escort His Highness away, I'm good to come and go alone, and it's just a burden for you to follow me. โ
"Yes, my lord......"
"Ah Yu. Qin Yin suddenly called softly.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yin. Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Although Qin Yin's heart was full of uneasiness, she smiled slightly, left her best appearance to him, and said, "The mountains and rivers are far away, and we are destined to see you again." โ
"Well, I'll see you soon. โ
Lin Muyu nodded, rode away,
