Chapter 43: Parting

At the same time as the long sword broke through the air, those "black sheep" collapsed to the ground one after another for some reason!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Qianyin immediately retracted his sword momentum, and the tips of the two of them deflected and slashed deeply on the planks on both sides of the chariot.

As the sword was drawn again, the red curtain that had been hanging on the chariot was cut off and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Lu Wenyong didn't know when he pulled out the dagger, and took two steps forward to reach the lower abdomen of the girl in red.

The thing in his hand seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and this General Lu Long, who was originally not a problem with dancing knives and guns, now even a small dagger needs to tremble with his hands to barely be able to move.

"Husband......

At the same time, the girl raised her hand, not to block the sharp blade that stabbed at her, but like a newlywed wife waiting for her husband's return, her arms spread out, her eyes full of anticipation.

But there was a faint oozing of blood from the skin.

Lu Wen's face was as pale as death, and long tears in his eyes slid down his cheeks splashed with ash and blood.

"What's wrong with you! Plainly! What happened to you!! ”

As soon as he let go of his hand, he dropped the dagger and stepped forward to take her hand.

However, the moment the man's fingertips touched her withered little hands, she shrank back, stared hesitantly at her white fingers without nails, and stared blankly into his eyes, staring blankly.

As if remembering, she jumped down and stood in front of the couple who had escaped death, drew a peculiar talisman in the void, and whispered a incantation in her mouth.

"Ahem, ahem."

She looked back at the young couple, squeezing a soft-looking smile out of her lips as much as she could.

He ...... He's going to be fine...... No one will be able to hurt you again...... Separated you......"

Under the young woman's astonished eyes, her skin was like porcelain, cracked little by little, oozing black blood.

"Chu Chu!"

The man rushed over in a breakdown, knelt beside her, reached out and took the little child who was almost blown away in the wind, calling her name one after another.

Chu Yuening smiled bitterly, and used all her strength to slap Lu Wenyong away, forcing herself to stand up straight.

It's dawn.

The blood between the cracks in the skin dripped on the ground, and the white smoke immediately disappeared into the yellow sand, and the blood under the red clothes oozed out and gradually evaporated in the new sun.

The red-clothed child, who was as white as a porcelain doll, gradually became transparent.

"Chu Chu! Plainly!!! ”

Watching the man who pounced again snatched his hands from between her fading bodies, she laughed "hee", and there was a childish mischief on her brows.

"Stupid, you won't be able to catch me now."

"Lu Wenyong, remember, I didn't die because of you...... It's because I can't look down on this troubled world, let them ...... Never Lost ...... Love"

"Yes, yes, Chu Chu, you are the strongest we have here, you don't-"

"Li Qianyin," she interrupted the man, turning her head to look at the girl with a complicated expression beside her.

"You—don't you look at me like that...... For the sake of the fact that you have saved my life, I will tell you with great mercy...... Your father was framed by that Marquis of Yongding. But, but, what really made him die was Mingxi, and the son of heaven in the Central Plains. ”

"He was taken back to the 100,000 mountains with me. But I survived, and he didn't ......."

"—Demons! The demon is about to be born...... Yes! Also, there is that kid from Liaodan, who was highly poisoned, you must be careful! ”

She gasped for breath with difficulty, and it seemed that with every word she spoke, her body dissipated a point.

"Chu Yuening, you!"

Li Qianyin took a step forward, clasped her left hand under her sleeve, and secretly performed a spell.

"Don't waste any more effort, Li Qianyin...... Keep your skills and kill those enemies. ”

She shook her head, and her tone was extremely weak, "I fed Gu with flesh and blood, and refined myself into Gu, and now the Gu worm is back, even if Mingxi comes, it won't be able to save me...... Hee-hee, of course, he wishes I was dying now, and under him, I was just a pawn that could not be manipulated out of his control......"

"And ......"

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow over her immature face.

It seems that there is still a lot to say.

"Lu Wenyong, you protect the people, I don't blame you...... But if there was still a chance at that time, would you—would you save me? ”

"I will, Chu Chu, if I knew you weren't dead then, I would!"

The man knelt on the ground, his voice in pain, his hands raised in the air and trembling violently, for fear that the person in front of him would accidentally disappear.

"Then you're going to ...... Marry her? ”

"Heh," she picked up without waiting for him to answer, "I don't believe a man's words." ”

"But you know, it wasn't you who happened back then...... I'm here, already, no regrets......"

"Haha, that's all that I said today...... I haven't said so much in more than 20 years. ”

"I'm tired and want to sleep."

The girl in red's eyes widened, and a bright light flashed in her black and white almond eyes.

Chu Yuening, or Chu Yuelian, raised her head in the direction of the rising sun, and the warm sunlight shone on her face through her transparent little hands.

I don't know if I saw or thought of something, but a hint of relief appeared on her broken face.

Outside the city, the soldiers who broke away from the control of the Gu worms fought again, repelled the first wave of Liaodan's attack, and held Pingzhou.

In the distance, the sound of victory was heard.

In front of me, a handful of small ashes melted into the yellow sand.

Her general had come to pick her up.

......

Although, with the help of the Opportunity Pavilion led by Jiang Tianluo and Gu Qingrang, as well as the two impermanences, Pingzhou barely won a wave of defensive victories, but the war was about to break out, and everyone still couldn't put down their hanging hearts.

"Our people found out that due to the sudden defection of Chu Yuening, a crucial chess piece, the group of people on the northern border of the Central Plains couldn't bear it."

"Now the situation, the ministers of the Central Plains are determined to refuse to cede the sixteen states to Liaodan, if the Yelu family, the newly appointed khan, is determined to die in Pingzhou, the Empress Dowager Shulu can push the boat to call the young son to take the throne, and then capture Pingzhou in the name of crusade, naturally there will be nothing to do with Li Yan."

Gu Qingrang took a sip of tea, with a look that the situation was not good.

"That's right, so Li Kang didn't count it now that he wanted to break his scalp, everyone in the world is profit-seeking, but not all people in the world are ruthless."

Li Qianyin sighed and continued:

"He only has two ways now, either to propose a deal that can be at the same price as the sixteen states and continue to cooperate with Liaodan; Either they can simply break the net and send troops to help Pingzhou, even if they can't get Pingzhou, at least they can barely change the reputation of a virtuous monarch. ”

Jiang Tianluo frowned with a pair of long eyebrows, "By the way, I heard my sister-in-law just now that Yuening mentioned that Yelude was poisoned, I don't know what his current situation is?" ”

Li Hebiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Li Qianyin, his eyes were full of victory:

"Don't worry, he has more than a dozen masters of the Pavilion to take care of him, if something goes wrong, someone will naturally report it immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "master" trotting in, curtching and hurriedly saying:

"His Royal Highness King Yi, that Liaodan Khan, ran away."
