Chapter 217: The Housewife (1)
Mo Ye on the shore was hit by an arrow from Zheng Quqi, and when he was seriously wounded, he had no way to command the battlefield at all.
He also never dreamed that this time he sent troops to encircle and suppress him, and he was not injured in Yu Wensheng's hand, but almost folded in his most unexpected Zheng Quqi's hand.
Those two arrows, in retrospect, were completely driven for his life.
She was right, if it weren't for his fate, I'm afraid that now he wouldn't even have a chance to breathe.
Mo Ye thought about her cold and ruthless appearance when she was shooting arrows, and laughed dumbly.
His face was as white as paper, and the blood from the wound was spurting and staining the placket red, but he didn't care about the wound at all, clenched his fist and pounded the ground vigorously.
"Zheng, Qu, Qi, Zheng, Qu, Qi...... You're a Zheng Qu ruler."
This feeling is like playing with the eagle all his life, and finally being pecked blind by the eagle, he underestimated her.
After the soldiers helped Mo Ye, who was hit by the arrow, off his horse, they began to urgently treat the arrow wound for him, and when they saw that he was suddenly emotionally unstable and vented his anger regardless of the injury on his chest, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Sima, calm down, your wound will crack even more like this......
"Quick, catch Sima!"
Mo Ye sat on the ground, inhaling heavily, he looked down at the arrow in his chest, the tail of the arrow had been broken, but the arrow part was deeply embedded in his flesh.
Colic, cold all over, bursting with cold sweat, but compared to these, because of the grievances in his heart, he wanted to go crazy more.
"In this life, the only time I looked away was her......
His old hatred and new hatred surged into his heart at the same time, turning into a fire and burning, but it was precisely because his emotions were too intense that his qi and blood boiled and surged, and the blood from the wound could not be stopped.
"You can't pull out the arrow yet, first-"
"Sima!"
Mo Ye, who lost too much blood, finally fainted without carrying it after tossing and turning, and General Beitang of Hongshengguo was nowhere to be found at this time, and the others could only get off the boat and enter the river and continue the pursuit.
However, the oil paved the river, and the smoke also caused difficulties for their pursuit.
The hull of the ship on Zheng Quqi's side was gradually pushed away from the encircled fire, and the secret guards below finally had a chance to poke their heads out, gasped heavily, and swam the hull far from the shore.
This also means that Zheng Quqi is getting farther and farther away from Yu Wensheng.
"Yu Wensheng—"
She stood at the bow of the boat and shouted at him.
However, Yu Wensheng neither looked back nor responded to her.
She didn't know if he had heard.
But in this bloodthirsty slaughter, no ship could catch up, and with a silent gentleness like night, with an outlet of blood and corpses, he created an impregnable shield for her.
Her gaze stayed on him, her heart was terrified, and even her body trembled involuntarily.
He destroys everything, he kills everything, just to keep her ...... But what about himself?
Does he care what happens to him?
Dozens of search ships were destroyed by Yu Wensheng, and coupled with the smoke of fire oil, their vision was blocked, and they could not join forces to besiege him, and they were helpless against him for a while.
Until the shore came another group of mysterious people, they wore wide blue cloaks, hid their heads and tails, and then lined up in a line, and took out the most lethal weapon - the steel machine.
It is a once-in-the-art shooting trick that begins with a large arrow, but opens in mid-air and becomes a hawk-like claw, and once it is hooked, it stabs into the flesh of its prey, making it difficult to get rid of.
Their target was undoubtedly Yu Wensheng, waiting for the best time, aiming, shooting, more than a dozen "steel machines" scattered over the river, some of them were staggered, but some of them hung on Yu Wensheng's shoulders, back and thighs.
These sharp claws are far sharper and sharper than the hook on which the butcher hangs the meat, and as soon as it touches the flesh, it firmly climbs, absorbs, and grasps, and immediately Yu Wensheng's body staggered and staggered, and fell fiercely from a high place on a ship.
Zheng Quqi looked at the river from afar, the black smoke was billowing out, everything was looming, she only saw that he seemed to be caught by something, and the person fell from a high place.
"Yu Wensheng—"
Soon, however, he stood up again, but the mysterious men in the blue cloak on the shore grabbed the "steel machine" and dragged him backwards together, restricting his movement and being at his mercy.
He used his sword to cut the traction chain of the "Steel Machine", but it was made of steel, which was very hard, and it was not so easy to cut off, especially his injured right arm could not bear much strength, and the strength of his left arm alone would be greatly reduced once his body was unbalanced.
"Yu Wensheng was trapped, and all the soldiers obeyed the order and killed him at all costs."
The people on the surrounding boats approached the boat, jumped on the hull of the ship where he was, and immediately rushed up with their swords, and the people under the masks, after sweeping away the enemy troops in front and behind, jumped up, while the people on the shore continued to exert more force so that he could not escape......
"Shoot me!"
"Shoot—"
All the archers on the ship, on the shore, and at the ferry, were ordered, and their eyes were piercing, and they sharpened their swords, and in a moment they saw a hundred arrows and a thousand arrows fired at once, and the man who was hoisted high was shot like a target in the blink of an eye—
Puff –
In Zheng Quqi's wide pupils, his body was routed and tattered, and he fell into the cold and cold river, and the blood was stained red......
In the midst of a river of red blood, there was only a shining and clear water belt, which expanded to the distant surface of the river, and there were thousands of waves of light-
On the calm river, there was a big boat moored there for a long time, and after seeing Zheng Quqi's small boat slowly coming, the people on the boat hurriedly shot out the iron claw buckle to grab the ship's whirl, and dragged its hull closer.
Someone got off the boat, and the joint secret guard took Zheng Quqi onto the big boat and abandoned the small boat.
"Ma'am, are you alright?"
When Zheng Quqi saw Runtu on the big boat, he was a little dazed.
"You...... How could you ......?"
"Madam, my business is a long story, anyway, I'm fine, all this was arranged by the general in advance...... By the way, why is there only Madame? What about him, General?" He asked, hesitantly.
Zheng Quqi immediately recalled what had just happened, his nose was sore, and his eyes were moist again.
She was stunned and said, "After he was hit by an arrow, he fell into the river......
When Runtu heard this, his face turned pale, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Zheng Quqi stretched out his hand, tightly clutched the bracelet under his chest, and then slowly squatted down, crying incessantly, extremely quietly, like a wounded little animal wailing, and he didn't even dare to cry.
"He, he kept all my pursuers at bay, but he didn't make it to the end...... Come with me and leave ......."
After Runtu lost his soul for a long time, he had a white face like a ghost, and the choked throat was swallowed by him like blood.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, now is not the time to be sad, the general can arrange all these things, he must ...... It's not going to be that simple, so we have to leave for Ye as soon as possible, you...... You must cheer up, now that you are the only one left in the General's Mansion who can take charge of things, we still have a lot of things in Ye Kingdom that you need to go back to deal with first in place of the general."
Runtu's words made Zheng Quqi raise his head.
Her eyes were as red as a rabbit, she sniffed, gritted her teeth, and said, "He's not dead, he's definitely not dead...... How could he be such a powerful person, how could he die so easily."
"Yes, we will leave a group of secret guards in the river to search for the general's traces, and they will definitely notify us as soon as there is any news." The same is true of moisturizing soil.
Zheng Quqi stood up, but because he had been squatting for a long time, as soon as he got together, there was a black halo in front of him.
"Madame!"
Runtu hurriedly supported her.
Only then did they see that Zheng Quqi had been hit by an arrow in his back, and the tail of the arrow was broken, although it was stuck in the position of the left shoulder blade, which was not critical, but it had already flowed
A lot of blood.
"Ma'am, are you hurt?"
Zheng Quqi's eyes were half-open in a drowsy state: "Really? But why am I...... Don't you feel any pain?"
When Runtu heard this, his eyes became moist and red.
——
In his sleep, the group of people in blue cloaks reappeared, their faces were blurred, but they all took out their powerful weapons and fired them in the direction of Yu Wensheng......
When a gust of wind lifted their robes, revealing the waist card of the male loser's disciple on their waists—
"It's a public loser......
Zheng Quqi was awakened from a dream, so she sat up, and her eyes seemed to have just groped back from a distant place, when a violent Sichuan voice next to her called out to her: "Zheng Quqi, you lie down quickly for Lao Tzu!"
Zheng Quqi turned his head to look, only to see Brother Sang on crutches, jumping over in anger, and pressed her back on the bed.
"Your wound hasn't healed completely, what are you doing sitting up? Aren't you in pain? 「
Pain......
It was because of the pain that she was awake.
She looked up blankly: "Brother, I'm back......
Brother Sang, who was still angry, saw her melancholy appearance at this time, and began to feel sorry for what happened to her during this time: "...... Yes, you're back."
"Brother, I'm back, but I couldn't bring him back with me, only I came back by myself......" Zheng Quqi's throat was choked, and he couldn't even speak intermittently.
Brother Sang obviously knew something, he sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her head: "Ruler, how can a person be strong in everything in this life, and he doesn't owe anything to others, as long as you are alive, pay it back slowly."
He knew her best.
"But brother...... One life, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay it back......" She put her arm in front of her.
If the person is gone, what will she take to pay it back? To whom do you pay it back?
Brother Sang said in a deep voice: "Ruler, big brother knows that you are a person who would rather be owed by others than others, no matter how heavy your feelings for Liu Fengmian were before, you will probably not be able to forget him in your life."
"But if you can't forget, you can't forget, it's good to remember, you have to cherish yourself more in the future, as long as you live, he didn't die in vain this trip."
Zheng Quqi doesn't want to listen to any words of exhortation or comfort now, there are some things that she can only figure out by herself, and some hurdles can only be crossed by herself, she knows, no one can help her.
"Brother, I want to be alone for a while."
Brother Sang couldn't see her uncomfortable, although when he listened to Runtu and them talk about some of the reasons, he also understood what a big impact Liu Fengmian's sacrifice was to his sister-in-law.
But people's hearts are always selfish, he is very grateful to Liu Fengmian, or maybe, he can exchange his life for a life to repay the other party's kindness, but he doesn't want to drown in the pain and quagmire he gave for the rest of his life.
"Okay, brother will go and boil medicine for you first."
Brother Sang patted her twice, and Cai limped away.
The room was quiet, Zheng Quqi was lying on the bed, and his afterglow inadvertently swept to a sculpture placed on the desk.
Her eyes froze, it was the statue she carved for Yu Wensheng on her wedding night, it was a fierce Yaqi snake meekly surrounding a man, and the man's eyes were covered with a long gauze scarf, blurring half of the originally hazy fairy features.
At that time, she had never seen his true face, so the person carved out was half hazy and half real.
But now...... She already knows.
She got up, took the sculpture, then found the carving knife, first shaved off the veil that covered her eyes, and then bit by bit reshaped his face completely.
The pieces of wooden whirlwind fell, and each knife was accompanied by the pain of the pull, but this could keep her awake and conscious.
When Yu Wensheng's face was reproduced on the wood carving, she was stunned for a long time, she stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the outline of his facial features, and her vision couldn't help but blur.
"If I had known it would be like this, I should have treated you better in the first place......
——
Outside the room, Wei Yao, Wang Zebang and Runtu all came over, and they had been guarding outside these days when Zheng Quqi was unconscious.
After seeing Brother Sang come out, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "That...... Brother Sang, I don't know if Zheng Gong is awake?"
Because Mrs. has always asked to hide the fact that Brother Sang married Yu Wensheng, they don't dare to reveal everything rashly, and everything is vague, which also causes Brother Sang to often look at them with a strange and distrustful gaze.
"Woke up, but she's not in good spirits, you ...... Come back later." Brother Sang's brows furrowed.
These people don't know when they are so familiar with their rulers, and they don't do anything all day long, so they have to stay here and wait for her to wake up.
"Brother Sang, that's the case, we have some important matters here, I don't know if you can let me in and say a few words to Zheng Gong?" Wei Yao asked.
Brother Sang was silent for a moment, but said, "Let's come back tomorrow."
They glanced inside the room and had to retreat.
——
The next day
Several of them came again, but Brother Sang thought about Zheng Quqi who was lying on the bed, but he still refused.
"Brother Sang, there is an urgent matter in the camp now, and it needs to be dealt with by Madame."
"I said it, she ......."
"Brother, let them in."
"Okay......
The four of them stood side by side on the edge of the bed, and Zheng Quqi sat up: "What's wrong?"
"Now that the general is missing, King Ye has begun to rectify our Changtaming Slope camp, so that we can return to Beijing with our division, otherwise we will not distribute military rations again, and now there are no more rations in the army, and we won't be able to support it for long."
"Madam, the Yuwen family also sent someone to deliver a message, saying that our generals are gone, so everything about the ancestral house and the Yuwen family will be recovered."
"What else?"
