The seventh cold pith was nailed into the body, and Chu Zhixia seemed to have been pierced through his heart by the slender nail, and he sat in place with his sword for a long time.

In the midst of the lightning, the masked boy holding the cold pith nail suddenly held a dagger and smashed it into her heart. Chu Zhixia sat in place, and she pulled out the snow suddenly, picked up the dagger in the masked boy's hand, and slashed his arm with a thread, piercing his heart.

Chu Zhixia raised his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were scarlet, like Shura.

The ghost city lord was startled, and hugged the blood lotus and retreated again and again.

Chu Zhixia stood up, shook off the blood beads on the sword, and stretched out his hand towards him: "Blood Lotus." ”

The ghost city lord glanced at her up and down, and was surprised to find that this person looked like he was completely fine, so he was frustrated, and slapped the blood lotus into her hand in annoyance: "Get out, I'm annoyed when I see someone who has something to do with Li Qingbai!" ”

After Chu Zhixia checked that there was no problem with the blood lotus, he closed the wooden box, turned around and strode away from the eighteenth floor with Bai Ziche.

——

The boat sailed away from the ghost market dock and wobbled to the shore. The moonlight shone brightly, and the innocent light sprinkled on the steps.

"The nails in your body must be pulled out immediately, otherwise something will definitely happen if you go deep into your heart." Bai Ziche untied his robe and draped it on Chu Zhixia's body, accidentally touching her cold fingers, and he was anxious.

"I must send the blood lotus back now." Chu Zhixia's teeth trembled coldly, and he involuntarily grabbed his outer robe, but rejected Bai Ziche's proposal.

"Are you dying?" Bai Ziche looked at her in shock.

"Life and death are only on the front line, and the sinking boat can't wait." Chu Shixia shook his head, got up with the boat, and staggered ashore.

"Let's find a safe place to take the nails out first......"

"Get out of the way!"

Chu Zhixia pushed Bai Ziche away, turned over on the horse, and hugged the blood lotus in his arms. She couldn't care about anything, and rode her horse through the streets of the imperial capital at night, but she felt that there was frost and snow flowing in her veins.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Zhixia finally saw the door of the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence. Chu Zhixia almost rolled off the horse, knelt on the ground with weak hands and feet, and printed a clear blood mark.

Chu Zhixia stood up with difficulty and slapped the door one by one while drinking the stream of snow.

The porter soon arrived, and when he opened the door, he was hit by a man covered in blood.

"Give this to Master." Chu Zhixia grabbed the porter's arm, and the sharp pain around her body seemed to tear her apart.

The porter responded continuously, frightened by her appearance, and called loudly to the people in the house. Without waiting for others to help, the mouthful of blood that Chu Zhixia had so hard suppressed was spit out by the cold qi raging in his body.

"Miss!"

Chu Zhixia fainted to death.

——

In the previous life, thirteen years of auspicious charms.

Embrace the snow pass.

All the food and alcohol left in the snow pass were brought out and piled up on the snow. The bonfires burned brightly, illuminating everyone's faces in a dense cloud of snow particles. Soldiers in armor and knives stood silently in the snow.

Chu Zhixia stood in front of the army, like a plum blossom blooming among the black iron stones.

"In the seventh year of Xiangfu, my second brother Chu Mingxiu died violently in the imperial capital; In the ninth year of Xiangfu, my eldest brother Chu Mingyan died of illness in the clouds due to overwork. "Chu knows the words of Xia, not sad and angry, only the ultimate calm, "In the thirteenth year of Xiangfu, I have been cutting off my Chu family title, cutting off the military rations of Xueguan, and forcing me to enter the imperial capital to ask for guilt." ”

"I'm stupid today, but an ignorant child controlled by the regent's iron fist." The deputy general looked hideous, turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Zhixia, and said sonorously, "As soon as the eldest lady gave an order, the generals of Yongxueguan rushed into the imperial capital, and the Qing monarch flanked and killed the national thieves!" ”

"Even so, the whole army of Yongxue Pass still can't retreat." Chu Zhixia understated him.

"Miss!" The adjutant general said sadly, "Now that you are persecuted to this point, why bother the eldest lady!" ”

Chu Zhixia took a deep breath, and the rough and cold air pierced her lungs, "The world is not the private property of the Bai family. It is not the emperor on the Xuanzheng Hall of the imperial capital who is guarding the snow, but the countless Li people after the pass, including your parents, wives and children, and the souls of the ancestors of my Chu family. ”

"If the snow pass is broken, the Beidi people will go straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and our army will no longer have any natural dangers to defend." Chu Zhixia's tone was cold, "In the four states of the northern part of the country, the mantis arm is just a car." We can only hold back the pace of the Beidi people here, with swords...... Or use our corpses to exchange time for the soldiers and civilians after the snow pass. ”

The whole army was silent, only the "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning.

"I, Chu Zhixia, am the last person in the Chu family, even if I die, I will bury my bones under the Yongxue Pass. After this victory, there is neither fame nor gold to be rewarded," Chu Zhixia raised the wine bowl high, and the words splashed like a sword out of the sheath, "If the battle is defeated, Chu Zhixia and the monarchs will die together." ”

She drank the liquor and threw the porcelain bowl to the ground.

A polite soldier drank all the wine, also smashed the wine bowl, came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground, and arched his hand: "Ye Qian obeys the dispatch of the eldest lady, and it is not a pity to die." ”

The same is true of the lieutenant general, who was indignant before, and clenched his fists hard and said: "I am willing to fight to the death with the eldest lady!" ”

"I am willing to fight to the death with the eldest lady!"

The sergeant's shout was like a roar of mountains and seas, sweeping through the pure white sky and earth, and reaching into the sky.

Second brother, I am going to die with my comrades who once fought side by side with you. Chu Zhixia looked at the snowflakes that were swept up to the sky by the wind, and said silently in his heart, will you blame me?

And Shen Zhou, it should have been to Qingzhou by now, right? After knowing what the letter is, will you rush back, or will you do what the letter says, and drift away?

I'm sorry, I lied to you in the end.

But I really, I can't help it.

Chu Zhixia held the silver spear and turned over on the horse.

Behind her was the fluttering banner of the King of the Chu Clan, and the only 13,526 people left in the Snow Pass.

After the soldiers left the customs, the gate of the pass behind them was immediately sealed with boiling copper water. The wounded soldiers and civil officials who remained in the city tried their best to defend them, and no one was allowed to escape.

This bloody battle lasted for six days, and the generals and soldiers who embraced the snow pass miraculously retreated the Beidi people to the front of crossing the snow river with snow water, dry food dropped by the enemy, or grass roots dug out under the snow, and most of the elite of the Beidi people were lost.

The water that crossed the Snow River was dyed red.

However, it was defeated.

The defenders of Yongxue Pass fought to the last man, the deputy general to death, and he still held the royal flag of the Chu clan in his hand.

Chu Zhixia, who was seriously injured, knelt under the flag, with her second brother's old department and her robe by her side. She was hit by an arrow in her heart, but this time, there was no Buddha bead to stop her. Chu Zhixia pulled out the drinking stream snow, shaved off the tail of the arrow, and looked up at the Beidi people who were slowly approaching.

"Chu Shixia, I know you." This young Beidi man was dressed in iron armor and had animal fur wrapped around his wrists. His Central Plains official dialect is still very jerky, and his pronunciation is a little distorted.

For the Beidi people, iron is a precious and rare thing. Most of their armor is made of layers of animal skins, and the Beidi people who can afford to use iron armor are either rich or expensive.

Chu Shixia recognized him at a glance.

"I know you, Erdan Khan."

"Your emperor of the Great Zhou is not worth this." Erdan Khan shook his head, "Maybe you'd like to come under my command?" I will give you the honor of being no less than the king of Zhenbei. Didn't your brother be killed by the emperor? I am also willing to give you the opportunity to slash your enemies. ”

"Okay." Chu Zhixia replied softly.

Erdan Khan looked at her in surprise, thinking that he had misheard, and couldn't help but lean close and ask, "Did you agree?" ”

"Khan be careful!"

Between the lightning and flint, the dying Chu Zhixia suddenly burst out, and pushed out like a poisonous dragon drinking snow stream, piercing through the cracks in the iron armor. Erdan Khan was shocked and swung the hilt of his knife and smashed it on Chu Shixia's chest, but he still had a deep wound on his shoulder and neck, and the blood was not stopping.

Only one inch away, Chu Zhixia could cut off his neck.

"Cunning Central Plains!" The subordinates were furious and were about to hack her to death with a knife, but they were stunned and said, "Khan, she is dead." ”

The last general of the Chu family to support Xueguan was killed in battle.

The khan was removed from his iron armor and pressed the wound with a white cloth stained with medicinal powder, and his face turned pale: "The loyalty and courage of the Chu family is nothing more than this. ”

"It's better to show her to the public and call for battle to Qingzhou."

"No, bury her."

——

In this life, auspicious charms for four years.

Summer.

"Lao Tzu is a sword master, do you know what a sword master is? I'm not a doctor! You two are little things made in heaven and earth, toss Chu Mingyan's bastard! ”

"Lord Sword Saint, don't talk angrily, it's been three days, why hasn't the eldest lady woken up yet? If something happens to the eldest lady, how can the slave live? ”

"Sister Yuzhu, don't cry, I'll go home and force me to die, and let my father hand over the hundred-year-old ginseng."

Chu Zhixia woke up in a gossiping noise, and the small wind chimes hanging on the bedside swayed. The pain in the internal organs woke up at the same time, and the gongs and drums broke out, and Chu Zhixia almost shouted in shame.

Along with the clarity of the touch, there is also the sense of touch in the hands.

The bony hand gripped her palm tightly, rubbing a thin layer of fine sweat.

"The eldest lady is awake!" Yuzhu was the first to notice that Chu Zhixia opened his eyes, cried with joy, and asked with concern, "Miss, do you still have any pain in your body?" ”

"It hurts everywhere." Chu Zhixia grinned, "What are you all doing here, you don't need so many people for the funeral." ”

"Seven cold pith nails, it's good that you still have your life if you beat it." Li Qingbai hugged his arms and chirped, "I have taught you for so many years." ”

"Master, you're really embarrassed to say it." Chu Zhixia gasped and teased him unceremoniously, "If you hadn't offended people everywhere, I would have spent the most money, as for suffering this kind of crime?" ”

Deng Mian squeezed away the two people, stepped forward, and cried so much that his eyes were red, "Boss, I thought you were going to die......"

Several people made a fuss, and after making sure that Chu Zhixia's fate was still there, they left tacitly.

The sun was shining outside the window, the breeze was coming, and the wind chimes at the bedside were singing and whispering.

Shen Zhou, who had not spoken from beginning to end, remained in a posture of sitting on the edge of the bed, bending slightly and grabbing her fingers, as if a swordsman was caressing the scabbard. His fingertips slowly rested on her pulse, as if he were afraid that he would crush her with a single force.

"I'm sorry." Shen Zhou said.

The poison of the heart-burning has been resolved, and Shen Zhou can speak again.

"Now it's over saying I'm sorry," Chu Zhixia closed his eyes and said stiffly, "When you return to the clouds, you will kneel in the ancestral hall and say." ”

A warm tear fell on Chu Zhixia's eyelids.

Chu Zhixia opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Shen Zhou's tears dripping like beads, washing his eyes so deep that ink.

He cried.

Shen Zhou lay in her neck socket, tears rippling, as if she wanted to shed all the tears that had not been shed in the previous seventeen years. He cried so much that his body trembled slightly, choked and repeated the words "sorry", and his tears soaked Chu Zhixia's neck wet.

"The little mute can finally speak, and he doesn't say a few nice words, but he only knows how to cry." Chu Zhixia came back to his senses from the shock of "Shen Zhou cried", and patted him on the back pretending to be old, "Don't cry." ”

"My heart will be broken by your crying."
