Chapter Ninety-Three: The Wax Torch Turns to Ashes and Tears Begin to Dry
Hou Sheng and Cai Wenju have been controlled by Yu Fei and Zhang Jihai, Yang Xuesong and Yin Changfeng, who are completely inferior at this time, do not dare to make a rash move, whether it is in martial arts or in terms of military superiority, they are hitting stones with eggs, how can Yin Changfeng easily let go of this enemy who does not share the sky, and he made up his mind in his heart, ready to break the net with Yu Fei and Zhang Jihai.
Yang Xuesong has been friends with him for many years, how could he not know his thoughts, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Yin, don't lose a big one because of a small one, a gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late." Yin Changfeng was still indifferent after hearing this, Yang Xuesong continued: "If you really want to avenge Miss Hou, shouldn't you go to death for nothing at this time?" Sure enough, when Hou Mengran was mentioned, these words were very useful, and Yin Changfeng, who was still angry just now, turned his head and looked at Yang Xuesong.
Yang Xuesong saw that Yin Changfeng had regained some of his senses, and when Yu and Zhang were proud, he pulled Yin Changfeng and quietly retreated, and by the time they found out, the two had already disappeared.
Yin Changfeng said: "Brother Yang, I'm in a state of confusion at the moment, I don't know what to do next? ”
Yang Xuesong paused, looked at the surrounding movements vigilantly, and was sure that only the two of them were in the room at this time.
"I just saw Wang Ye and General Cai being arrested, I looked at it carefully, and I didn't see Gong Xingwen, presumably he had fled. ”
Yin Changfeng didn't want to think about the bad side, but after all, he still had to face the facts, and wondered: "Isn't it ......?"
Yang Xuesong knew what he was going to say, so he interrupted him and said, "No, even if it's not for himself, just for Miss Hou, he should try to survive himself." ”
Yin Changfeng didn't understand what he meant, and thought about it, even if it was for Miss Hou's affection for her, he should personally go and kill those two traitors. Yang Xuesong mentioned Hou Mengran, Yin Changfeng remembered that she was no longer in this world, and he didn't feel sadness coming from it, and sighed.
Yang Xuesong just wanted to say a word of comfort and tell him a news, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, getting closer and closer, feeling that there were still a lot of people, Yang Xuesong pulled Yin Changfeng and jumped over, came to the beam to hide. Sure enough, after a while, a group of people broke down the door, and when they saw a person walking in unhurriedly, one of the people who rushed in to search for him stepped forward to make a report.
"Lord Qiqi Zhou, no one has been found here. ”
Zhou Yujin moved his mouth and replied: "Then go and search elsewhere, now that the Hou Wang's Mansion has been surrounded, the three of them must still be in the mansion, if they are not found, don't wait for the two generals to speak, I will kill you first!"
The man was horrified, and hurriedly led a group of people to search elsewhere, and after the group of people were gone, only Zhou Yujin was left in the room, he looked at the beam, and then turned around.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, of course, the way is different and they don't conspire with each other, I am not a person who kills everything, so I can do it myself. After saying that, he walked out of the room without looking back.
Yang Xuesong and Yin Changfeng saw him go away and jumped off the beam together.
Yin Changfeng asked, "What does he mean?"
Yang Xuesong said: "What he means is that we only have two ways to go now, either surrender, or leave Yunnan from now on, and don't come to spoil their good deeds." ”
Yin Changfeng said: "Betraying the master is disloyal to the peace of the country, false affection is unrighteous to the friends of life and death, killing innocents indiscriminately is unkind to the people of Yunnan, helping the people of Yunnan is ashamed to abuse the kindness of parents is unfilial piety, such disloyalty, unrighteousness, unkindness and unfilial piety, how can I tolerate him?"
Yang Xuesong said: "Now we are not his opponent, listening to his words, it seems that we have not found Gong Xingwen yet, we have to find Gong Xingwen before him." ”
Yin Changfeng said: "Then without further ado, let's hurry up." ”
"Gong Xingwen must be hiding, we are afraid that we will not be able to find him for a while, and the others will definitely not be easy to find, then he will not be in danger for the time being, let's think about how to save the prince and the general first." Just as he was about to leave, Yin Changfeng suddenly remembered a place, called Yang Xuesong and said, "Brother Yang." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I probably know where he is. ”
"Is that true?"
Yin Changfeng didn't answer, looked straight out of the door, convinced that there was no one, and then nodded at Yang Xuesong and motioned to follow him. Yang Xuesong didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he didn't have time to ask, so he had to follow him.
In a secret room, Gong Xingwen put Hou Mengran on the bed and looked at her quietly, without saying a word, as if she was just asleep and did not leave him. He grabbed her hand and placed it on his tearful face, feeling that her hand was gradually losing its warmth.
Gong Xingwen is still deceiving himself.
"Mengran, are you cold? I'll go find you a quilt again. ”
After a while, he put a quilt on Hou Mengran's body, sat on the edge of the bed, and held her hands tightly. I don't want to believe that all this is true, in just one month, I was forced to leave Wudang, and came here to meet Hou Mengran by mistake, and became her husband, happiness came too suddenly, as if I came from the cold deep valley to the sunny mountain top, and before I had time to enjoy the happiness given by God, I suddenly fell from the top of the mountain into the deep valley, which was not only physically tortured, but also mentally devastated. If you want to destroy a person, it is often not to destroy his physical body, but to crush his fighting spirit, Gong Xingwen is now physically and mentally exhausted, even more than Lan Qianyang at the beginning.
If it were possible, he would rather not come to Yunnan, so that he would not meet Hou Mengran, so that everything would not have happened, even if she was married to Yu Fei and washed her face with tears all day long, at least she was alive, just like Lan Qianyang said, as long as she was alive, there was hope, and when she died, there was nothing.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I killed Hou Mengran, and when I was in love, she suddenly showed her lonely figure on the bank of the Lechuan River, no matter how the bull head and horse beat her with a whip, she just refused to leave on the bridge, and her eyes always looked at the road she had just walked, as if she was waiting for something?
Gong Xingwen suddenly became excited, walked towards the illusion in front of him like crazy, stretched out his right hand and wanted to grab Hou Mengran on the bridge, what was going on? It was obviously in front of him, but he couldn't catch her hand. He quickened his pace, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and suddenly became much more sober, and when he looked closely, everything just now was gone, and there was only a cold and heartless wall in front of him.
"Mengran, don't go, wait for me, you must wait for me. ”
He cleanly pulled out a long sword on the wall, came to Hou Mengran's bedside, and looked at the peaceful Hou Mengran.
"Mengran, I'm here to accompany you. Gong Xingwen raised the long sword he held in his right hand and wiped it off his neck.
Suddenly an exclamation came from behind him: "No." ”
The people were too far away to step forward to stop it, saying that it was too late, that time was fast, Yang Xuesong was in a hurry, and hurriedly threw the long sword in his hand as a hidden weapon, hitting Gong Xingwen's right hand holding the sword, Gong Xingwen's right hand was painful, the sword was unstable, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and there was a trace of blood on the blade. Yin Changfeng was also shocked, and hurriedly went over to check Gong Xingwen's injury, and after repeated confirmation, fortunately it only scratched the epidermis and did not hurt the artery.
Yang Xuesong said: "Brother Gong, why are you so troubled? The plan now is to recuperate and avenge Miss Hou." ”
Gong Xingwen glanced at him, his eyes were red, and he didn't answer.
Seeing this, Yin Changfeng felt the pain in his heart, how could he not love Hou Mengran deeply? Now it seems that Miss is not wrong to choose Gong Xingwen, he can do anything for Miss, of course, including working hard for her, but he will never commit suicide for her.
couldn't say a thousand words, stepped forward and patted Gong Xingwen's shoulder with his hand, and said "Brother Gong", which may be the best and most acceptable way to comfort.
Gong Xingwen smiled bitterly: "You and I are both hard-working people, now that the dream is gone, I have no idea of living, if you really treat me as a brother, then give me a ride?"
Yang Xuesong didn't expect Gong Xingwen to be so affectionate, it seemed that he couldn't care about the agreement with the prince, and there was no other way, so he said to Yin Changfeng: "Brother Yin is here to watch Brother Gong, don't let him do stupid things, I'll come when I go." ”
Yin Changfeng didn't expect that he would be bent on death, say such cowardly words, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he wants to die, he should die after the murderer, so that the real murderer of Miss will go unpunished, how can this be worthy of Miss's spirit in the sky, he was angry for a while, and gave Gong Xingwen a slap in the face, and suddenly Gong Xingwen left five clearly visible finger prints on his face. Gong Xingwen was still indifferent, and even after receiving such a heavy slap, he didn't even look at Yin Changfeng.
Yin Changfeng also smiled bitterly: "Fate? Don't blame fate for everything, do you know what the real fate is? Let me tell you Gong Xingwen, fate is just an excuse for the weak, and luck is the humility of the strong!"
When Gong Xingwen saw him say this, he knew that he would not help him to let himself go to see Hou Mengran, so he slowly bent down and picked up the long sword that had just been knocked down by Yang Xuesong, the blood on the sword had not yet solidified, and it was dripping on the ground drop by drop, as if the blood in his heart was also dripping on the ground drop by drop. From the moment Yin Changfeng saw him pick up the sword again, he knew that he was going to do something stupid again, so he hurriedly wanted to snatch it, but Gong Xingwen took a step ahead and pointed the sword at him.
"You'd better not move, I don't want to hurt innocent people. Looking at Yin Changfeng who was still in place, Gong Xingwen was still not at ease, and used a little acupoint to point Yin Changfeng's acupuncture points, and finally showed a smile on his face, and no one stopped him from staying with Mengran anymore.
"I hope that after I die, please ask Brother Yin to bury me and Mengran together. Think of it as the last thing I ask you for. ”
"Nope. ”
Gong Xingwen no longer paid attention to him, the long sword was already on his neck, and a smile of Lin Yu appeared in front of him, Gong Xingwen paused, closed his eyes, two lines of long tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and said silently: "I'm sorry." ”
Suddenly, the door of the secret room reopened, and a deep voice came: "Husband, don't!"
