Chapter 278: Death and Despair
Huo Changmen and the others fought and retreated, and retreated all the way down the street to the front of the Hall of Glory. Vertices
Here, it is the place where the Huo family rises, and it is the heart of the Huo family's rule over Luming Village and even the entire Ginkgo Valley.
From the tall gate of Luming Village to the Hall of Glory in the city, it is only a dozen miles away, but Huo Changmen's heart is getting colder and colder, and people are becoming more and more silent.
He could no longer force himself to organize a counterattack, and he could not bear to shout even a single order or slogan.
Defeated, really defeated.
All the way back to the Hall of Glory, it was already dark, and there were only a few people left behind Huo Changmen in Lumingzhai warriors such as Luo Ji and Ma Biao, and the people and horses in the north were led by Ni Zalong and Ni Qisha brothers to break through when they rushed into Lumingzhai in Qicheng, avoiding the situation of being surrounded and fighting to the death.
But Mu Perfect didn't leave, he accompanied Huo Changmen to the end.
The people in the north can go, but there must be someone left to give Huo Changmen an explanation. They are allies, and since they are allies, they must stand together to the end, worthy of the righteousness of the alliance.
Qiu Caibee found that almost no people had encountered it along the way, obviously Huo Changmen had already made arrangements, in order to prevent innocent people from being killed by mistake, the street he retreated from had already been dredged clean.
Qiu Caifeng, Ye Zhiqiu, Wu Tianbiao and others stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by more than a dozen major generals, and the rest of the warriors scattered to hunt down the remaining resisting guards.
Huo Changmen stood in front of the door of the Hall of Glory, staring at Wu Tianbiao and the others silently, without speaking.
Luo Ji behind him was a little sad, but he couldn't say anything.
The once bustling streets were now empty except for these first-rate warriors in the southern realm of Qishan, and the tall and majestic Hall of Glory was lonely, like a sleeping beast in the night, barely lit by a flickering torch at the door.
Wu Tianbiao waved his big hand, and several golden knives were thrown on the ground.
"Boss Nagato, this is the golden knife you lost. Wu Tianbiao said slowly.
Huo Changmen glanced at the golden knives on the ground, did not pick them up, nor did he manipulate them, leaving them to lie on the stone slab at his feet.
"Boss Nagato, I don't want to say too much about hypocrisy, you must have predicted this scene earlier, you can decide for yourself. ”
Wu Tianbiao's face was still pale, and his body was extremely weak.
He stood in front of Huo Changmen and several other leaders at a distance of more than half a zhang, Huo Changmen even had to think of it, and the golden knife on the ground could pierce Wu Tianbiao's heart almost immediately.
But Wu Tianbiao didn't care, he still stood two feet away from Huo Changmen, and looked at Huo Changmen silently.
Huo Changmen didn't have the slightest intention of controlling the golden knife.
As Wu Tianbiao said, when he led the warriors of Lumingzhai to Ginkgo Village, and when he saw the huge lineup of Qicheng stationed in front of Ginkgo Village, he faintly guessed the ending at this moment.
I just didn't expect the guess to come true.
Wu Tianbiao glanced behind Huo Changmen again, and said slowly: "Boss Changmen, you are a man, and the brothers around you are also men. Regardless of the camp, in fact, I admire you very much, and even think that in another world we can raise a glass and get drunk together, drink and laugh, hehe. ”
Huo Changmen laughed dryly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Wu, is it still interesting to say this now? You should know that I will not surrender, nor will I be a vassal of Qicheng, what you said can really only happen in another world." ”
Wu Tianbiao shook his head: "What the old man said before is still valid, as long as you order everyone to give up resistance, Boss Nagato, I will never embarrass your brothers, nor will I kill any of the people in the Ginkgo Valley, and I can even watch the samurai in the north leave safely." This is my last kindness. ”
Huo Changmen stared at Wu Tianbiao, hesitated for a while, and said, "Obviously, you can forcibly occupy the Ginkgo Valley in one go, and you can even kill most of the people in the north, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why do you want to give me this kindness?"
"Could it be that you have been fighting for a long time and you have sympathy for me? Huo Changmen laughed out loud as he spoke.
Wu Tianbiao glanced at logic, Luo Ji shook his head gently, and Wu Tianbiao had to sigh:
"You should take it as a sympathy, not only with you, but also with the brothers around you, you are all men in the southern realm of Qishan, worthy of the kindness of the old man. ”
Huo Changmen nodded, looked back at Luo Ji and immediately Biao:
"Two brothers, you ...... Let's go! Restrain the brothers who are still resisting, just say...... Let's just say that I, Huo Changmen, admit defeat, no
It will be fought again. ”
Luo Ji and the others nodded silently.
Huo Changmen said again: "No matter where you want to go, after tonight, you all leave, the history of Luming Village has turned a page and buried in history...... I only need to be alone, and I don't need more people. ”
Luo Ji's heart moved: "Big brother!"
Suddenly, smoke rose from the Hall of Glory behind him, and for some reason it caught fire.
The fire came suddenly, and it started quickly, and after a while, the fire expanded rapidly, and the crackling wooden beams crackled, and the fire tended to spread to the surrounding houses.
Immediately shocked: "Why is it on fire!"
Huo Changmen ignored the fire behind him, patted Luo Ji and the others on the shoulder and said:
"Ten of us brothers are learning art together, and you are the only ones left who will accompany me on my last journey. Life for decades, come and go in a hurry, it is enough to have a few good brothers!"
Luo Ji and the others obviously realized Huo Changmen's thoughts, and they couldn't bear it in their eyes.
At this moment, a young man slowly walked out of the gate of the Hall of Glory, and it was Ada. Luo Ji frowned and said, "Ada, you put the fire?"
Ada glanced at Huo Changmen, nodded silently, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Huo Changmen and the others again.
Huo Changmen said: "I arranged it, you don't have to say more, leave immediately." If I stopped my brothers earlier, I might have saved one more life, and there were enough people who died with me, and I already owed enough debts. ”
Huo Changmen finally glanced at Luo Ji and the others: "Please keep the last dignity for me." ”
Luo Ji's body shook violently, and his hands that were holding Huo Changmen couldn't help but hang down slowly, and let Huo Changmen turn around and walk towards the Hall of Glory.
Qiu Caibee ordered in a deep voice: "Order the whole army, stop the pursuit and slaughter, and all withdraw to the outside of Luming Walled City to standby." ”
Qiu Ban said: "Understood!"
Qiu Ban glanced at Huo Changmen, whose figure gradually disappeared into the gate of the Hall of Glory, sighed silently, turned around and left quickly.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, gradually covering the entire Hall of Glory, and burned towards the Huo family's mansion on the periphery.
Screams and screams could be vaguely heard in the surrounding houses, and the children of the Huo family who had not had time to evacuate would inevitably be buried in the fire.
Even if they escaped, they would not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the warriors of Qicheng.
As Wu Tianbiao said, in order for the people of Ginkgo Valley to live in peace, the Huo family must disappear completely, and the seeds of revenge must be eradicated, obviously Huo Changmen also knows this.
Wu Tianbiao looked at Luo Ji and immediately said, "Brother Luo Ji, I kept my promise. The war between Qicheng and Ginkgo Valley is over, and you ...... Where are you going?"
Luo Ji looked at Mu Perfect beside him, and there was a faint fire in his eyes, I don't know if he was illuminated by the firelight:
"Martial City Lord, the brothers in the north haven't left yet, please keep your word and let them go. ”
"Of course, we'll talk about the outcome of the battle with the North later, and that's enough for today, I've said it, that's it. ”
Mu Perfect nodded: "Martial City Lord, you are a man." ”
With the current situation, these generals around Wu Tianbiao are enough to besiege Mu Perfect and others ten times, but he is willing to abide by the agreement with Luo Ji, Huo Changmen admits defeat, and he really doesn't kill any more.
"Mu Perfect, now, you can leave. Wu Tianbiao looked at Mu Perfect coldly and said.
Mu Perfect nodded, and glanced at Luo Ji again: "Brother Luo, where are you going to go? You don't want to stay in Luming Village, right?"
Luo Ji smiled: "Brother Mu, don't worry, I won't look for a short-term view." I promised a little brother that I would leave Ginkgo Valley with him when the curtain fell here, perhaps...... Maybe we'll see you again. ”
Mu Perfect's heart moved, but he didn't say much, just glanced at Luo Ji deeply: "Then I'll take a step first, and there will be a period later!"
Mu Perfect arched his hand to Luo Ji, Ma Biao, and Ada, raised his head and strode past Wu Tianbiao and the others, and left towards the outside of the city.
Wu Tianbiao coughed lightly after waiting for Mu Perfect to leave: "Brother Luo Ji, I have already said it, Lord Huo Zhai and you are the people I admire the most, I will treat the people of Ginkgo Valley well, I am not as good as you ......"
"Nope. ”
Luo Ji suddenly became a little angry, clenched his fists and said: "Martial City Lord, the page has been turned here, but I will never stand in the same camp with you in the new chapter! On the contrary, I will definitely revenge Brother Huo's revenge in the future!"
The flame of hatred in Luo Ji's eyes jumped, he glanced at Ma Biao and the others, and said softly: "Let's go!"
Immediately Biao and Ada nodded, and the two followed Luo Ji and left quickly.
Wu Tianbiao shook his head self-deprecatingly, watching Luo Ji and the three of them leave, he couldn't help but secretly say pity.
At the same time, in the depths of the Hall of Glory, Huo Changmen stepped into the sea of fire step by step, his eyes were already blurred, his consciousness began to be chaotic, the skin on his face was quickly dried by the heat wave, and the clothes on his body even ignited sparks.
The last three words of "...... ended" appeared in Huo Changmen's mind, and he stepped into the main hall of the burning Hall of Glory with one foot.
But a thick black mist poured out inexplicably, quickly enveloping Huo Changmen's not too tall and somewhat fat body, this black mist seemed to be able to isolate the flames, Huo Changmen had lost consciousness, and then he and the black mist also disappeared.
The war in Lumingzhai has ended, and under the persuasion of Luo Ji and others, all the warriors of Lumingzhai have laid down their arms and no longer resisted.
The remnants of the warriors who were chasing Qicheng also slowly left under Qiu Ban's strict order, and all of them withdrew from Luming Village.
After dawn, they will enter Luming Village as new rulers, through other city gates that have not collapsed, and become the new masters of this city and even the entire Ginkgo Valley.
......
On this starry night, there is not a trace of dark clouds in the sky, and the originally bustling and lively streets are finally rare silence, the whole Lumingzhai city seems to be empty, the people in the city all lock their doors and windows, and the family hides in the deepest room of the house and shiveres, waiting for the moment to decide their fate.
The war in the entire Ginkgo Valley is almost over, the warriors of Luming Village are disarming, and the army of Qicheng is gradually withdrawing outside the city, and there are many secret agents out of the valley overnight, transmitting information to Qicheng, Iron Hat City, Lengjiabao and Wujiguan, and sending more guards to Ginkgo Valley to guard the order.
But not everything is moving in a harmonious direction.
In the majestic mountains south of Luming Village, a young man climbed to the highest mountain with a girl on his back, and they were still closely followed by dozens of warriors with hundreds of miles of yellow sand, and the one in the middle was Tang Youxin!
Ji Longjun was finally tired.
He hid in the mountains with Vermilion Wisteria on his back, but Tang Youxin was like a dog with a dog's nose, and he could find clues every time, and he almost caught Ji Longjun and the others every time.
Ji Longjun had to flee for his life again and again with Vermilion Wisteria on his back, and from the night before until now, a whole day and a night have passed.
Ji Longjun and the others fortunately brought some water, otherwise they would definitely not be able to support it now.
It was the highest mountain among the mountains, not much lower than even the Mountains of the Two Realms. The top of the mountain was extremely cold, and the breath exhaled by Ji Longjun turned into two clouds of white mist, Rao is and Zhu Ziteng were both martial arts practitioners with deep internal strength, and it was a little unbearable to be in this kind of cold place for a long time.
The top of the mountain is a piece of gravel, the area is not very large, and the place facing the ginkgo valley is a forest, and behind it are the reckless mountains.
It's just a pity that Ji Longjun can't run anymore, because between this mountain and the mountains further south is a cliff, an almost vertical cliff.
There is no way out.
Ji Longjun looked carefully, it was dark under the cliff, and the strong wind was blowing, although the moonlight was very bright tonight, he couldn't see how deep it was below.
Ji Longjun fled to his death with Vermilion on his back.
"Your Highness...... I ......" Ji Longjun wanted to say something apologetically, but was stopped by Vermilion.
"Longjun, you've done your best. Zhu Ziteng patted Ji Longjun's arm lightly and said, "Let me down, I'll ...... I don't want to run away anymore. ”
Ji Longjun nodded, helped the vermilion wisteria to slide off his back, and slowly leaned against a rock. The ravines on the rocks are mottled and seem to be carved with some kind of lettering.
Ji Longjun frowned and read through the moonlight: "Hundred ...... Gentleman...... Fall...... Body...... Cliff!"
"Your Highness, it turns out that there is still a name here, but ...... It's just that the name is not very auspicious. Ji Longjun said with a guilty expression.
Vermilion shook her head lightly and didn't say much.
The faces of the two of them are not very good, since they abandoned the carriage and got into the green mountains, the two of them have almost no time to rest for a night on the day they were chased and killed, but whenever they can rest for a while, Ji Longjun is trying to use Wuji True Qi to treat Zhu Ziteng's leg injury, but Tang Youxin and the others kept chasing as if they didn't know that they were tired, and finally, Ji Longjun himself escaped to the road of death.
As soon as Vermilion Wisteria came down, there was a sound of boosing and screaming in the surrounding dense forest, and thirty or forty vicious Huangsha City warriors lifted the branches and leaves in front of them and came out of the forest.
