Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Difficult Dream Becomes a Swan Song (2)
That night, Zhang Xiaochuan and Lei Zhentian took advantage of the night to jump over the wall and enter the Liang Mansion. When they arrived in the back garden, they saw the lights in the attic, heard the sound of the piano and the singing, and they were sure that this was Liang Yanhong's attic. On the opposite side of the attic, the two of them easily found the place where Zhuge Ziyu was being held. When he arrived, Zhuge Ziyu was looking at the attic through the iron window.
When the two of them got closer, Zhang Xiaochuan called out, "Brother Zhuge ." Zhuge Ziyu took the hands of the two through the window. Lei Zhentian and Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw him looking haggard and the lights inside were dim. The three of them fought together, were born and died together, and their friendship was very deep. Zhuge Ziyu had made military exploits, and he should have enjoyed life in the General's Mansion, but he was put under house arrest by Liang Dong privately, lost his freedom, and suffered here.
Seeing this situation, Lei Zhentian and Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts. "Brother Zhuge wait a minute, I'll go to find Liang Dong's theory now!" "Brother Xiaochuan, don't go, brother begs you." "Liang Dong is also bold, set up a private prison, detain the imperial court officials, and tomorrow I will go with the Xiaochuan brothers to face the saint." "Brother Lei and Brother Xiaochuan, please listen to me. Seeing that he deliberately blocked it, the two of them looked at Zhuge Ziyu inexplicably, not knowing what he had to say.
Zhuge Ziyu sorted out his thoughts and said to the two, "Originally, I was already disheartened, I had no intention of officialdom, and I couldn't tolerate a second person emotionally. If you hadn't met the Xiaochuan brothers, if you hadn't met Yanhong. Speaking of this, Zhuge Ziyu smiled apologetically at Zhang Xiaochuan, and then said, "If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have today's status and achievements, my brothers have supported and loved me, I Zhuge Ziyu has nothing to repay in this life, I just want us to be brothers in the next life!" The three of them held hands tightly, and tears flashed in their eyes.
"I must cherish Yanhong's affection for me, but I don't want to embarrass her, and I don't want to go against her father. Liang Dong locked me up here, and I was able to see Yanhong every day, so I didn't have to meet secretly. After speaking, Zhuge Ziyu smiled bitterly, he said it easily and relieved, with satisfaction and happiness on his face. "I can listen to her play the piano and sing every day, she has always been in love with me, and she did not hesitate to die to fight against her father. All I want is to see her every day, to hear her every day. Although we are not free, our happiness is better than one day at a time. ”
Lei Zhentian and Zhang Xiaochuan listened to him whispering, and they could feel the shock in their hearts. The two of them saw that Zhuge Ziyu had such intentions, so they had to say goodbye first. They can only take one step at a time and wait and see how things develop. Zhang Xiaochuan and Lei Zhentian went to visit Zhuge Ziyu every now and then, and occasionally brought him something to eat and drink. They only hope that Liang Dong will not come nonsense, and that he will change his mind and give Zhuge Ziyu and Liang Yanhong a chance.
In his spare time, Zhang Xiaochuan also told Ruomei Fairy about Zhuge Ziyu and Liang Yanhong. When Fairy Ruomei heard this, she was extremely moved and sympathized with their plight. If the Rose Fairy is noisy, she has to rescue the two of them. Zhang Xiaochuan was made to cry and laugh, so she could talk about it, so that she understood Zhuge Ziyu's mind. Fairy Ruomei admired them while sighing and sighing. "Sincerely stay together, no complaints and no regrets. This is the realm that everyone yearns for, Ruomei Fairy looked at Zhang Xiaochuan affectionately, Zhang Xiaochuan's heart moved, hugged her gently, sighed in his heart, and said, "Let's bless them silently!"
After another seven or eight days, Zhang Xiaochuan brought wine and food, and then came to visit Zhuge Ziyu. Zhuge Ziyu took the wine and food, but his expression was extremely depressed, Zhang Xiaochuan reminded him to taste the wine and food he brought, he had never heard of it, and looked at the attic in a daze. "Something must have happened. Zhuge Ziyu seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be talking to Zhang Xiaochuan. "Yan Hong has our favorite moon season in the window, and the flowers are so beautiful that she has to appear there every day, and change the variety every few days. Yanhong hasn't appeared for a while, no one has changed Yueji, the flowers have gone, the leaves have begun to wither, even Xiangxiu hasn't appeared, something must have happened!" After saying these words, Zhuge Ziyu's body shook suddenly, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart. "No, I'm going to take a look!" Zhuge Ziyu finished speaking and used his hands to break the guardrail of the window, Zhang Xiaochuan saw that he looked anxious, so he helped him bend the iron bars of the guardrail one by one. This is the place where Liang Dong temporarily placed Zhuge Ziyu under house arrest, the iron bars were not strong, and even the shackles and chains were not used by Zhuge Ziyu, and the two worked together, and after a while, they took all the iron bars off. Zhuge Ziyu climbed the window, supported his hands hard, and jumped out, he didn't stop, and went straight to Liang Yanhong's boudoir, Zhang Xiaochuan knew that something was wrong, so he followed together.
The two of them jumped up to the attic, and there was candlelight shining through it, but there was no sound. "Yanhong, Yanhong!" Zhuge Ziyu shouted a few times. "Xiangxiu, Xiangxiu!" he shouted a few more times, but still no one responded, and he gently pushed his hand, and the door opened.
The white curtain inside hangs low, and there is a big word "lay" in the middle, which is a mourning hall. Zhuge Ziyu's body was shocked, and he suddenly shook violently. He had always been worried that there would be today's ending, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Zhuge Ziyu was most afraid of seeing the mourning hall, the coffin, or the corpse, and during this time he had been persuading himself not to speculate and not to believe his own speculation.
Today, when I saw the mourning hall, although I had a premonition, I couldn't help but shiver a few times in a row. Zhuge Ziyu's body trembled, trembling and approaching, staring at the tablet, only to see that it was written "The Spirit of the Beloved Daughter Liang Yanhong". Zhuge Ziyu was stunned for a moment, suddenly threw himself on the table, and cried loudly, "Yanhong, why did you go to me first, I knew this was the case。。。。。。 Zhuge Ziyu couldn't cry, "It's my fault if I regret it at the beginning." He sobbed and cried for a long time, Zhang Xiaochuan also understood what was happening, he looked at Zhuge Ziyu while being on guard. Zhang Xiaochuan knew that this matter could not help him, so he had to let him cry. Zhuge Ziyu cried for a long time, his emotions slowly calmed down a little, he slowly stood up, stretched out his hand to push open the curtain, and behind the curtain was a coffin. He pressed his face to the lid of the coffin, hugged the coffin tightly with his arms, and cried out heartbreakingly, "Yanhong, Yanhong, why are you so ruthless? Before you go, why don't you let me see you again? Why don't you wait for me!"
The footsteps sounded, Zhang Xiaochuan knew that someone was coming, and he hurriedly said to Zhuge Ziyu, "Brother Zhuge , someone is coming!" Zhuge Ziyu just kissed the coffin with his mouth, and didn't pay attention to everything outside.
The lights were bright, and two people walked in with lanterns, shouting, "What kind of person, so bold, dare to make noise here!" Zhang Xiaochuan was full of anger, rushed up with a punch and a kick, knocked down the two people, the lantern in the hands of the two people fell to the ground and burned, the two people are usually used to being powerful, at this time they were punched and kicked, how dare they stay, get up and run away, Zhang Xiaochuan did not stop them. "Brother Zhuge , please mourn!" Zhuge Ziyu just kept crying, and suddenly cried loudly, "Yanhong, I hurt you! I hurt you!" Zhuge Ziyu's head slammed the coffin a few times, and blood flowed from his forehead.
"Of course you hurt her!" Zhang Xiaochuan heard this, turned around, and Liang Dong walked in with four or five family members. Zhuge Ziyu stood up, wiped away his tears, and asked Liang Dong, "What day did Yanhong go? Liang Dong glanced at him coldly and said, "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be General Zhuge . He raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xiaochuan again, "Oh, General Zhang is also here! The little girl unfortunately passed away, and there were two Lao late at night to mourn." Alas, it's a pity that the little girl's life is shallow and blessed. After speaking, Liang Dong sighed.
Zhuge Ziyu's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and he said hatefully, "Lord Liang, why are you acting coyly, isn't this fulfilling your wish?" Liang Dong sighed again, and said to Zhuge Ziyu dissatisfiedly, "General Zhuge , if you don't stick a lever horizontally, or if you are not so stubborn, if you are willing to cooperate with me, the little girl will not be killed by you, no matter who I or the two of you become Weng's son-in-law, what a beautiful thing!"
The more Zhuge Ziyu listened, the more angry he became, and said loudly, "Yanhong was killed by me, I don't deny it, didn't you harm her?" As he spoke, Zhuge Ziyu suddenly approached Liang Dong, and the fierce light in his eyes grew. Liang Dong did not dodge, did not fear, he shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this point, what else is there to say? Zhuge Ziyu was angry and hateful, and wanted to kill him, but he couldn't bear it, and said angrily, "If I kill you today, Yanhong's spirit in the sky will definitely hate me." Lord Liang, look at Yanhong's face today, and the grudge between us has been written off. In the future, if you are not interested, you can blame me for Zhuge Ziyu's ruthlessness. Brother Xiaochuan, let's go!"
Liang Dong sneered, "What, General Zhuge , are you going to leave now?" "Lord Liang, what are you going to do?" Zhuge Ziyu's eyes were split, but he couldn't attack. "Alas!" Liang Dong sighed again, "General Zhuge , let's get to this step today, what good do you say it will do to you and me?" Zhuge Ziyu snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Lord Liang, if you ask yourself, will you be ashamed? When you reach your status, you want the wind to win the wind and the rain to get the rain, what are you still greedy for, and would rather kill your own daughter?" After speaking, Zhuge Ziyu was about to take a step.
"General Zhuge , don't be busy leaving, let's think about cooperation, if you agree, I will give you the antidote, so as not to give your life in vain and don't know. ”
Zhuge Ziyu was shocked, "What antidote?" At this moment, Zhuge Ziyu's lips, cheeks, and palms felt numb, dizzy for a while, and he almost couldn't stand, Zhang Xiaochuan hurriedly stepped forward to help. Zhuge Ziyu was furious, "Lord Liang, you are so vicious, you even smeared poison on the coffin!" "Hahaha" Liang Dong laughed proudly, "I am afraid that the unscrupulous will insult the innocence of my daughter's body, on the other hand, it is also for us to cooperate better! This golden flower is not easy to come by! The antidote is even more difficult to find! I don't know what General Zhuge wants?"
Zhuge Ziyu was extremely angry, jumped up, and kicked out with all his might, but the poison was too powerful, and it instantly eroded the bones, and Zhuge Ziyu couldn't use any of his skills. Zhuge Ziyu couldn't hurt anyone, and he almost fell down again, so Zhang Xiaochuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him. He supported Zhuge Ziyu on the one hand, and went up to attack on the other, and he wanted to capture Liang Dong and ask for an antidote.
Liang Dong retreated to the side, four men with swords and swords, swarming forward, and several weapons beckoned to Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Ziyu at the same time. Zhang Xiaochuan kicked two feet in a row, kicking the legs of the two people, and the sound of "bangbang" sounded, and the two big men fell in response. Zhang Xiaochuan hit another horizontal elbow, and a big man's arm bone was broken, and he used his free footwork to gently and skillfully snatch the single knife in the hand of another big man. Seeing this, Liang Dong's expression changed greatly, and he fled, Zhang Xiaochuan led Zhuge Ziyu, and soon came to the front, Zhang Xiaochuan stretched out his knife and wanted to put it on Liang Dong's neck.
Suddenly, a hidden weapon shot over, one shot at Zhuge Ziyu, and the other came to himself. Zhang Xiaochuan withdrew his single knife and knocked down the hidden weapon that shot at him, driving Zhuge Ziyu's body to turn around and avoid another hidden weapon. As soon as they stood still, Liu Chengzong and Wang Tian were already in front of Liang Dong.
Zhuge Ziyu's body was weak and weak, led by Zhang Xiaochuan, barely able to stand, Zhang Xiaochuan knew that this poison was too strong, and he had to get the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise Zhuge Ziyu's life would not be guaranteed. Zhang Xiaochuan used a single knife to use the free swordsmanship, "sneering" sounded, Liu Chengzong knew that it was powerful, and he didn't dare to confront him head-on, but Wang Tian didn't know the depth, and used the eighteen claws of yin and yang to fight with Zhang Xiaochuan. Wang Tian's skills have improved greatly since he practiced the "Yijin Sutra", and with the deepening of the practice, his whole body is like an iron beating, he is proud of his art and is bold, and he will snatch the single knife in Zhang Xiaochuan's hand when he sees the opportunity. Seeing this, Liu Chengzong hurriedly shouted, "I can't do it!" Wang Tian heard Liu Chengzong's shout, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and retreated. Zhang Xiaochuan reacted faster, he flipped his wrist, and single-handedly cut Wang Tian's arm, his body turned, urging internal force, "snort", Wang Tian's left chest hurt, and was swept by the knife breath, Wang Tian no longer dared to be careless, endured the pain and fought with Zhang Xiaochuan.
Fifty or sixty rounds have passed, and Zhang Xiaochuan has to protect Zhuge Ziyu and fight Liu Chengzong and Wang Tian. According to Zhang Xiaochuan's current skills, Liu Chengzong and Wang Tianheli are no longer his opponents, but he still has to be distracted to take care of Zhuge Ziyu, and he can't capture Liang Dong again. After figuring out this section, Zhang Xiaochuan had no choice but to seek to get out first. He calculated in his heart, and suddenly attacked, forcing back Liu Chengzong and Wang Tian, and made a gesture to chase Liang Dong, Liu Chengzong and Wang Tian hurried to rescue, but Zhang Xiaochuan picked up Zhuge Ziyu and rushed out. Liu Chengzong threw out a few sleeve arrows casually, Zhang Xiaochuan heard the sound of the wind, and hurriedly used his carefree footwork to dodge the hidden weapon, and jumped down the attic with Zhuge Ziyu and disappeared.
After getting out of the Liang Mansion, Zhang Xiaochuan found a hidden corner and put Zhuge Ziyu down, Zhuge Ziyu's expression was wilted, his breath was weak, and his life was on the verge of death. Zhang Xiaochuan was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that he was invincible because of his previous adventures, so he cut his left wrist with a single knife and put his wrist to Zhuge Ziyu's lips. Zhuge Ziyu smelled the blood, opened his eyes with difficulty, and understood Zhang Xiaochuan's intentions, he shook his head slightly, and closed his mouth in resistance, Zhang Xiaochuan tried several times to feed the blood to his mouth but failed, knowing that he was determined to die, he had to give up.
After a while, Zhang Xiaochuan saw Zhuge Ziyu's lips twitching and his breathing became short, knowing that he had something to say, he hurriedly put his ear to his lips. Zhuge Ziyu was panting very much, his expression was very painful, Zhang Xiaochuan helped him up, and he spit out a few words with great effort. "I can't do it anymore. "Brother Zhuge , you must be fine. Zhang Xiaochuan didn't know how to comfort him, so he was so anxious that tears came out. "Brother Xiaochuan promised me. Zhuge Ziyu said word by word, and Zhang Xiaochuan didn't dare to interrupt him. "After I die, bury me and Yanhong together, and don't avenge me. After saying these words in one breath, Zhuge Ziyu couldn't stop panting, and Zhang Xiaochuan hurriedly patted his back with his hand and gave him relief from top to bottom. Looking at Zhuge Ziyu's expectant eyes, Zhang Xiaochuan nodded with tears in his eyes. Zhuge Ziyu took Zhang Xiaochuan's hand and said to him, "People say you got a treasure map. When Zhang Xiaochuan heard this, his body was shocked, and he laughed angrily, he didn't know where this rumor came from, and was about to defend himself, Zhuge Ziyu continued, "I know you don't, but the rumor has come true, the husband is not guilty, he is guilty, the king is like a tiger, Brother Xiaochuan, you must be careful!" After saying these words, Zhuge Ziyu's last bit of strength was exhausted, his head fell to the side, and he passed away suddenly. Zhang Xiaochuan hugged him and burst into tears, remembering all the previous past, and walked towards Zhuge Ziyu's mansion step by step.
