Chapter 10 The Bright Moon
When she woke up that day, Duanmu Rong obviously felt that the injury was no longer serious, but she was still lying on the bed waiting for Gai Nie to bring breakfast, she thought, "Hey, even if he is cured, the girl will lie down for him for so many more days, and he can't tell the difference between Gai Nie, hehe, I have never taken such care of people in my life, it turns out that it tastes quite beautiful." 」
was looking forward to the good food, but a familiar voice came from outside the door and said, "Aunt Duanmu!" Duanmu Rong hurriedly covered the quilt and pretended to be weak, "Ahem! Come in!" Duanmu Rong was full of hope that the food would appear, but the person who came was not Gai Nie, but Jing Tianming, who had been missing for almost two months. Jing Tianming walked into Duanmu Rong's bedroom with Mao Qiu, and was surprised to see her lying sick in bed, and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Duanmu, are you sick too?"
Duanmu Rong replied inexplicably: "Do you care if I'm sick or not?" Jing Tianming was stunned for a moment, pulled Mao Qiu and said to Duanmu Rong, "Aunt Duanmu, guess who this is?"
"It doesn't matter to anyone, what about breakfast?" Duanmu Rong sat up on the bed and asked again. This is the first time Mao Qiu has seen the same senior sister, and he doesn't care about Duanmu Rong's unreasonable appearance, he only thinks that these two senior sisters are very interesting, and he bows forward with a smile and calls, "Second senior sister! 」
"Are you my junior brother?" Duanmu Rong looked at Mao Qiu inexplicably, went to look at the door again, and said anxiously, "Hey, you two, who went over to help me ask if breakfast was ready? 」
Jing Tianming had been disillusioned since he entered the house and didn't see Ah Yue, and at this time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a trembling voice, "End ...... Aunt Duanmu, where's Ah Yue?"
Duanmu Rong casually waved her hand to the bun shop and said, "It's long gone. 」
"He...... In the past?" Jing Tianming suddenly felt his heart twisted, and asked again, "He...... When did he pass?"
Duanmu Rong replied angrily, "It passed two or three days ago, and he is already like that, do you still need me to take care of him?"
Jing Tianming stared blankly at Duanmu Rong who was lying back again, Mao Qiu standing beside him, and suddenly felt as if they were living in another world, the two of them had never met in the past, but there was always a day when they met, why was their world so bitter and so bitter? Why was God so cold to him? First his mother, then his father, either people and ghosts had different paths or the end of the world was forever separated, and now he refused to let go even his friends? Don't you even give him the chance to see him for the last time? Jing Tianming felt that the world was spinning, and the sorrow was extreme, and he laughed out loud in pain: "Hahaha! hahaha! hahahaha......" In the laughter, he staggered out of the Qinyun courtyard.
In the dead of night, less than a hundred miles outside Huaiyin City, the army of the Qin State marched in four groups in strict discipline, silently sealing all the passages to Huaiyin City. In order to capture the Chu State in one fell swoop, 80,000 Qin soldiers rushed away in the darkness without making a sound. As long as Jing Tianming and Mao Qiu came back a little later, they would either not be able to enter the city, or they would be slaughtered by the soldiers of the Qin State. At this moment, in Huaiyin City, not even a dog can go in, and not even a fly can fly out.
At this time, every household in Huaiyin City has turned off the lights, and the watch should be passed, and occasionally there are one or two dog barking, baby night crying, and the current gentle singing, everything is the same as in the past, and no one knows that the Qin army will attack as soon as it is dawn.
At this time, Gai Nie was pacing back and forth in the room, Gai Lan, Duanmu Rong and Mao Qiu were sitting in the room, Gai Nie didn't know the news of Jing Tianming's return until he met Mao Qiu, and he was full of joy, but how did he know that Jing Tianming disappeared again? Gai Nie glared at Duanmu Rong angrily, Duanmu Rong pursed her lips and snorted, and said, "What are you staring at me for? I didn't mean not to tell you that Tianming had returned, how did I know that the stupid boy didn't come home?
"You're still thinking about eating at this time?" Gai Nie said anxiously, "Even Ah Yue doesn't know where to go......? It's really difficult for villains and women to raise!" When Gailan heard this, he hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "Miss Duanmu, my father is in such a hurry now, he really doesn't have the heart to cook, Ah Yue must have gone out to find Tianming, and when they come back, my father will immediately help you make supper, okay?"
As soon as Duanmu Rong heard that Ah Yue and Jing Tianming would have a supper to eat when they came back, she hurriedly said, "They must have gone to the Xiaopo Temple, not the Xiaopo Temple, where else?" Gai Nie grabbed Duanmu Rong's hand and asked urgently, "You know?
Duanmu Rong was caught so hard that her hands hurt, and she couldn't break free and felt inexplicable, so she couldn't help but stomp her feet and scolded, "You didn't ask! How do you know that you don't know?" Gai Nie knew that he couldn't argue with Duanmu Rong, so he let go of his hand and said to Gai Lan, "Lan'er, you wait here, I'll go find Tianming." Where is Duanmu Rong willing to follow, he is afraid that Gai Nie will play tricks again after finding someone, so he insists that everyone go with him. Gai Nie couldn't do it, so the four of them rushed to look for it near the ruined temple where Ah Yue lived before.
After Jing Tianming played the piano and ran out of the courtyard, he came to the small broken temple where Ah Yue lived alone, he was full of anger and sadness, seeing the dilapidated old temple, seeing things and thinking about people, tears flowed down one by one.
After staying for a while, he felt that he could no longer bear it, and saw a path between the trees behind the ruined temple ascending up, and Jing Tianming went straight into it without thinking. The path is getting narrower and narrower, narrower and higher, and then it is really impossible to call the road, Jing Tianming climbed up the stone and leaned on the tree like a light gong, and climbed up through a forest and stones, and there was a valley in front of him, and a waterfall like silver fell from the sky, like a white silk spread between the green trees in this high mountain.
Jing Tianming used a sword instead of an axe and a hand as a spade, opened up a place, and gathered up a small mound of earth. He went around and picked wild flowers from the mountains, and sprinkled them on the mounds. I was busy until dusk was approaching, and then I sat down near the mound to rest.
He was condescending, with a wide field of vision, and the purple-red sunlight shone all over the canyon, and quietly moved west to the white silk-like waterfalls and small mounds covered with flowers, although the scenery was beautiful, but it could not alleviate the pain in his heart. Jing Tianming stood up and shouted at the mountains, rivers, waterfalls, "Bastard! bastard! Ah Yue, you big bastard!"
He shouted in full anger that he was going out, and after a while he heard the echo of the valley, "Bastard, bastard, bastard, Ah Yue!, you, bastard!" The echo did not stop, Jing Tianming shouted again, and for a moment the sound of "bastard" all over the mountains and valleys was incessant, and the sound was like a wailing and a wild beast's mourning.
"Ah Yue, Ah Yue......" Jing Tianming threw himself on the ground and cried with tears streaming down his face, "Didn't you say that you would never die? 」
"Lie to me! Why are you lying to me?" Jing Tianming shouted wildly, "Bastard! Bastard! Ah Yue, you big bastard!" The valley echoed again, only this time it was "Bastard! Bastard! Jing Tianming, you big bastard!"
This bluff startled Jing Tianming, he stood up and pressed the Qingshuang Sword in his hand, looked left and right, and said, "Who? Come out!"
A little girl in a pale red dress, her lips were red without dotting, and her eyebrows were not drawn and she walked out of the grass, her cloud-like black hair was tied in her ears, and a pair of big eyes flashed brightly, and she said with a smile: "Hehehe, Jing Tianming is a big bastard. 」
"Who are you?" Jing Tianming had never seen this naughty and beautiful little girl, and asked repeatedly, "Who are you, and why are you scolding me?"
The little girl in the pale red dress, hearing this, frowned, bent down and grabbed a handful of mud on the ground and threw it at the back of Jing Tianming's head, with Jing Tianming's current skills, how could she dodge it, but at this moment, the little girl shouted: "Stinky you bun!" Jing Tianming was stunned for a moment, and the mud had already hit himself in the face.
Jing Tianming touched the mud on his face and asked in disbelief, "You...... Are you Ah Yue?" As soon as the words came out, he thought that it couldn't be Ah Yue. Ah Yue is dead. He thought. He thought he heard Ah Yue's voice, but it could never be Ah Yue.
"Nonsense!" the little girl scolded, "Why don't you ignore me?"
"But...... Ah Yue...... Aren't you dead? ...... You're not dead?...... You...... How did you become a woman?" Standing in front of Jing Tianming at this time, it was no longer the skinny beggar who was dirty, with messy hair, black dirt, and old love to wear the wide cotton robe. This self-proclaimed Ah Yue turned out to be a delicate and lovely thirteen-year-old girl. It's just that her big black and white eyes, flashing towards herself, are vaguely the little beggar in Jing Tianming's memory.
The girl Ah Yue walked up to Jing Tianming with a smile, and she said, "I'm not dead, I'm originally a woman. 」
At this time, Jing Tianming really felt that Ah Yue was good no matter what he said, he just listened to Ah Yue tell him eloquently, how he begged when he was young, how he picked up torn clothes to wear, how he was not convinced, only men could go to school, why women couldn't read and write, and how he pretended to be a little boy to study with everyone.
The girl Ah Yue chattered for a long time, Jing Tianming heard it in a daze, for him, as long as Ah Yue is not dead and is still by his side, it is enough.
Ah Yue suddenly exclaimed, pointed to the small mound and asked, "Stinky buns, what is that?"
Jing Tianming scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm really sorry, I thought you were dead, so I ...... Just ......"
Ah Yue looked at a small place in the middle of the mountains, the weeds on it had been pulled clean, the newly turned soil was fragrant, and it was gathered into an extremely square small mound, I don't know how much effort it took to stack it carefully, and it was surrounded by flowers, and there was a long piece of bamboo inserted on the mound, engraved with "Ah Yue's Tomb".
Jing Tianming said, "Don't be angry, I'll destroy it now. As he spoke, he stood up and moved his hands. Ah Yue gently grabbed him, shook her head, looked at the little grave for a long time without sound, lowered her head and cried slowly.
Jing Tianming was so frightened that he was at a loss, and asked, "Ah Yue, Ah Yue, what are you crying about?"
Ah Yue raised her head, sniffed and wanted to speak, but she couldn't stop crying, so she had to cry and say intermittently: "Since I was a child, no, no one took care of me, no, no one cared, and no one cared about my life or death. I, I always thought that this, in this life, I had to live on my own, live, live. I'm so scared, I'm so scared! Do you know?" Jing Tianming didn't know what to say, he just nodded desperately, in fact, how could he not be afraid of the disturbances of this world?
"But, I'm not afraid anymore. Ah Yue raised her face, wiped away her tears, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky buns!" Ah Yue also stood up and said strongly to Jing Tianming: "Stinky buns! We high-fived each other three times, and neither of us can die earlier than the other, okay? We must be together and take care of each other for a lifetime!"
Jing Tianming's chest shook, although he had vaguely mentioned his life experience to Ah Yue, he had never said his inner fear to Ah Yue, he never thought that although he didn't say it, Ah Yue knew it in his heart. He stretched out his hand and said, "Yes! From now on, no one can say that we are alone. 」
"Hmm. The girl Ah Yue's eyes were red, she nodded, stretched out her slender hand and high-fived Jing Tianming three times. A smile like a flower bloomed on her lips, she took Jing Tianming's hand, looked at the small tomb, and then looked at the kaolin waterfall in the distance, and said very vigorously, "It's so high here, I've never come up before. The helpless Ah Yue is dead, so let her be buried here. From today on, my surname is Gao, and my name is Gao Yue. Even if you gave me this name, can you say it?"
Jing Tianming smiled and nodded, and in an instant, a golden light shone on his face, and when he looked up, he saw that above the valley opposite, the sun was rising on one side, and the moon at the other end had not disappeared.
The waterfall splashed a little golden light in the hazy morning light, and the trees on the opposite side gradually showed bright green and fresh, and the valley below was actually only halfway up the mountain, not too deep, with a stream gurgling down in the middle. Jing Tianming and Gao Yue were standing on the edge of the cliff, quietly looking at the valley in the early morning, when they suddenly heard a familiar voice in the distance, shouting: "Jing Tianming! Jing Tianming! Jing Tianming and Gao Yue looked at each other and smiled, ran quickly hand in hand, and shouted in their mouths, "Here!
The four of them were so happy to see each other, it turned out that Xiang Yu and Liu Bi couldn't sleep after Gao Yue left, so Xiang Yu went to find Liu Bi and came to look for it near the Xiaopo Temple.
Liu Bi hugged Jing Tianming and shouted, "You're really back! Great! You're fine!" Xiang Yu laughed and scolded, and honestly and unceremoniously beat Jing Tianming with his scabbard and said, "Jing Tianming! How is it? Seeing that Ah Yue is actually a woman, are you scared to the bottom of your fart? Hahahaha!"
Gao Yue snorted and said, "I don't call Ah Yue anymore. I have a name and a surname now, and I will call you Xiang Yu in the future, and you have to call me Gao Yue, do you understand?" After that, he walked back to the top of the mountain with everyone, and proudly pointed out the small grave to Xiang Yu and Liu Bi.
No matter how Liu Bi looked and thought, he always felt that there was a bit of a ghost feeling standing next to his grave alone, but he couldn't bear to brush her upset, so he let her talk nonsense. Gao Yue suddenly said how good he was, and then boasted about how beautiful his tomb was, and when he got carried away, his feet suddenly emptied, and as soon as the gravel slipped, the whole person screamed and fell into the valley behind him.
Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu each stretched out their hands to pull the air, and Liu Bi shouted in fright: "I just said that it is not good next to my grave. The three of them looked at each other in horror, hurriedly stood on the side of the mountain and looked down, and shouted in unison, "Ah Yue, Ah Yue!"
After a while, a voice finally came from below, and a female voice said angrily, "My name is Gao Yue!" The three people standing above were relieved.
Jing Tianming shouted, "Are you okay?"
Gao Yue shouted back, "It's okay! there's just a muddy pond here!...... Miss, I can't die if I'm so blessed!"
Jing Tianming shouted, "Wait, I'll go down and pick you up!"
Xiang Yu also shouted, "Gao Yue, wait! Let's go down and pick you up together!"
Liu Bi watched from the side, and said with a look of embarrassment, "Together, this, this seems to be quite dangerous. But since Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu had already used their hands and feet together, climbing the stone and starting to climb down, Liu Bi had no choice but to sigh, stiffen his scalp and climb down cautiously.
The three of them went down to the side of the stream, and when they saw a big pool of mud, Gao Yue was lying in it and was covered in mud, and her pale red skirt was completely ruined, and she was back to being a little beggar, and the three of them couldn't help laughing. Jing Tianming pulled up Gao Yue, pointed to the waterfall next to him and said, "Come, go wash it." 」
The four of them came to the waterfall, and Gao Yue was about to wash, but Xiang Yu suddenly pointed to the waterfall and said, "Look! This waterfall is a little weird, and look, there seems to be a cave in the back. The other three took turns to stand by the waterfall and take a closer look, and sure enough, a cave was faintly visible behind the rushing water.
Xiang Yu took the lead and stepped on the rocks along the mountain wall to enter the water curtain, and the four of them were drenched all over, and then they took turns to enter the cave. Although the passage outside is narrow, after walking thirty steps, it is actually quite wide and bright, and I think it is caused by another cave passing out of the top of the mountain.
The four of them were planning to do a good exploration, but they heard a faint voice outside, but it was Gai Nie, Duanmu Rong and his party who were looking for the sound.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly walked out, but as soon as they crossed the water curtain, they saw that even Mao Qiu and Gailan had come, standing by the stream and looking around for their whereabouts. Duanmu Rong's eyes were sharp, and she immediately smiled, "Found it." Jumping out of the rocks. 」
Jing Tianming rushed forward and called, "Master!" Seeing that Jing Tianming was fine, Gai Nie was happy for a moment, and then thought of the heavy Qin army outside Huaiyin City, how could he keep the old man's bones and blood safe? 」
Jing Tianming asked, "Master, how did you come down to this valley?" Gai Lan on the side smiled and took out a hairpin and said to Gao Yue, "I picked this up on the side of the cliff above the mountain. Ah Yue, don't you like what Aunt Lan gave you?"
Gao Yue stuck out her tongue, knowing that she must have been lost when she fell, she took the hairpin from Gailan's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Lan, I like this hairpin. It's just that somehow it doesn't like me very much, and always loves to run away on its own. Don't worry, I'll take a good look at it this time. 」
Duanmu Rong saw the four of them walking out of the back of the waterfall, and asked strangely, "What's behind the waterfall?" Jing Tianming replied, "It's a cave, it's quite big. Duanmu Rong's eyes twitched when she heard this, and she walked towards the back of the waterfall, turning back to Gai Nie and nodding, "This is a good place to hide. 」
Hearing this, Gai Nie hurriedly led everyone into the cave, and although Jing Tianming was puzzled, he also obediently followed in. Gai Nie carefully inspected the cave and saw that it was very hidden, and it was difficult for the Qin army to notice, so he finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Jing Tianming: "Tianming, I am afraid that the army of the Qin State has entered Huaiyin City at this moment, and there are already soldiers outside. Your Aunt Duanmu has injuries on her body, so it is not advisable to do more, besides, Ah Yue has only recovered from her illness for a short time, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bi may not be able to return home. You're the eldest of the kids, so you have to stay here and protect everyone and keep them safe, you know?"
When Jing Tianming heard this, he only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and asked, "Then Master, where are you going?"
Gai Nie looked at Gai Lan, who looked panicked, and although he couldn't give up his daughter in his heart, he still said, "The people of Chu are in trouble, and the righteousness is in the present, how can I sit idly by? 」
He reached out and touched Tianming's head, and said with a smile, "Good boy, when you grow up, Master believes that your father Jing Ke will also be as proud of you as Master. Speaking of which, Jing Tianming already understood that the master was planning to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and he always suspected that the master did not seriously teach him martial arts, but he now knew that the towering gentleman in front of him would never deceive himself.
Jing Tianming choked up and said, "Master, please accept the disciple's worship. So saying, he knelt down to Gagne. Gai Nie received this worship, and he was also in tears, and said: "I didn't pass on your hundred-step flying sword third style 'nothing', just because the teacher and I myself can't understand it, when your master passed on to me, he only said one sentence 'The living are destroyed, so that the sword will eventually abandon the sword', and did not teach any moves, your understanding is much higher than that of the teacher, I hope you will figure out the truth in the future, so that the three-style hundred-step flying sword can finally be passed on." 」
With that, he turned around and walked towards the water curtain. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard Jing Tianming shouting, Gai Nie hurriedly turned his head, and this time he happened to give the acupoint on his chest to the iron chopsticks in Duanmu Rong's hand. Gai Nie's chest was numb, Duanmu Rong hurriedly made up five or six acupoints for him, and Gai Nie sat on the ground with weak legs.
Gai Nie turned his head to look, and saw that in addition to Jing Tianming, Gao Yue and Mao Qiu in the cave, the other four people had already been pointed by Duanmu Rong in the acupoint, not only could not move, but also couldn't even speak, thinking that he was about to leave just now, Duanmu Rong suddenly hit Jing Tianming, forcing him to scream and distract himself, so that she could attack herself. Gai Nie glared at Duanmu Rong and shouted, "Duanmu girl, what are you doing?"
Duanmu Rong smiled and replied, "You're dead, who's going to cook for me?"
Gai Nie angrily reprimanded, "The overall situation is important, Duanmu girl, you will soon untie the lower acupoint. Duanmu Rong tilted her head outwards and said lightly, "What's the overall situation? Can you save the lives of all the people in Huaiyin City? What kind of sacrifice for righteousness? Confucian bullshit! Oh, a hundred people die outside, and if you die one more, is this called 'righteousness'? It's simply inexplicable. 」
Gai Nie couldn't answer for a while, and he was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed. Liu Bi on the side was dumb and couldn't speak, thinking of his father and mother, he was so anxious that tears flowed.
Duanmu Rong had already calculated that Liu Bi would want to go home regardless of his life, and Gai Lan had always followed his father, as for Xiang Yu's temper, she didn't understand it, so she simply restrained it first. Gao Yue and Mao Qiu don't know martial arts, and they know that they will only die in vain when they go out, and the only thing to solve at the moment is Jing Tianming.
She saw that Jing Tianming was holding the Qingshuang Sword with an uncertain expression, and it seemed that it was difficult to decide how to react, so she guarded the entrance of the cave and said, "Tianming, if you help your master unlock the acupoint, it will be equivalent to killing him with your own hands; 」
Jing Tianming was embarrassed and said, "But, but Mr. Fu Nian, he ......."
Duanmu Rong scolded, "Shut up! Qin Jun has already entered the city at this time, you can't save him." Sit me down and think about it before I speak. 」
Jing Tianming thought that Mr. Fu Nian might be killed, and his heart was excited, and he really wanted to rush out of the cave immediately to save Mr. But then I thought about it, Feng Puzi said that people die like lights go out, there is no pity, people are destined to die as soon as they are born, how to die, when to die, what is the difference?
When he couldn't make up his mind, he only heard Gai Nie sigh and say, "In troubled times, human life is no different from ants, there is no joy in life, and there is no fear in death. It doesn't matter how you die, when you die, what matters is why you die?" The words became more and more confusing in Jing Tianming's heart, and he really didn't know who to listen to. What Gai Nie said is really reasonable, how can the righteous word of the big husband die if he dies at present, how can he steal his life? But what Feng Puzi said to Mao Qiu, is it unreasonable? Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons are orderly, people have life and death, how can manpower win the sky?
Jing Tianming couldn't figure it out, Duanmu Rong was very clear, if Gai Nie died, where would he find a chef with such good skills? No matter how Gai Nie said it, he just refused to solve the acupoint, and sometimes he was afraid that Gai Nie's internal strength was strong and he would rush to the acupoint by himself, but he even stepped forward to make up for him a few times. Gai Nie had no choice but to close his eyes, unwilling to say anything more.
Jing Tianming looked at Gai Nie, then at Duanmu Rong's back blocking in front of him, then at Gao Yue, Xiang Yu and Liu Bi with tears on his face, and finally at Mao Qiu who was sitting in the corner, what should he do?
Although he didn't speak, sitting cross-legged on the ground, Mao Qiu seemed to see through Jing Tianming's thoughts, and simply said, "Live." 」
Jing Tianming sat silently on the ground, and Gao Yue came to sit next to him and quietly held his hand.
Soon, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, shouts of killing, felling, wailing and screaming in the distance, followed by a faint smell of smoke. Everything is hazy under the waterfall, and the eight people in the cave listen quietly, the sound seems to be far away, how can it feel close to you?
I really don't know how long it was, was it a day, two days, or three or four days? The eight of them only knew that the sky was clear and bright, bright and dark, was it really after all these days? Or was it just the clouds on the top of the mountain?
Finally, Gai Nie took everyone back to Huaiyin. The wooden city gate is falling, emitting bursts of white smoke, the door of every house is open, the dead bodies are scattered, on the bluestone road in the south city, men, women and children lie on the ground horizontally, the money shopkeeper who loves to greet the most died in front of the Xilai Inn with his abacus, and a generation of great Confucian Fu Nian hung himself on the roof beam of the Mouton Academy.
Liu Bi lay on Liu Yuanwai's body, who was in a different place, and was already crying in a trance. On a wooden table next to Liu Yuanwai, Liu fell there. Her face still looked so kind, it didn't look like she was dead, only a pair of eyes were not closed, as if she was looking at Jing Tianming, and Jing Tianming was also looking at her.
At the beginning, he did not witness the death of his mother, but later heard that she committed suicide, and when he saw Liu's appearance, for some reason, Jing Tianming felt that the person who died tragically in front of him was not Liu, but his biological mother, Jing Tianming looked at Liu, and let out an earth-shattering wail.
"Don't do this, brother. It was Mao Qiu who spoke, and he stood behind Jing Tianming and said calmly. Mao Qiu whistled softly, and the two flower donkeys forgot about their children, did not forget, neighed happily, and followed. Jing Tianming came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "...... them Are they alive?"
Mao Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "All chickens, ducks, cows and sheep are alive, and only people are killed. Jing Tianming also smiled bitterly, hugged Liu Bi, who was in grief, and put it on his body. Liu Bi struggled desperately on the donkey to get down, shouting, "Let me down, I will bury my father and my mother." Jing Tianming couldn't bear to look at Liu for the last time, resolutely pointed at the two acupoints on Liu Bi's body, and said, "My master said that the Qin army is probably just going out of the city to fight bloody, and it will come back in a blink of an eye, so it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. 」
"No! no!" Although Liu Bi couldn't move, he cried hoarsely on the donkey, "I can't bury my parents, I'm an unfilial son!
Everyone agreed to meet at the north gate, and after Gai Nie entered the city, he found that the Qin army was not attacking the city, but slaughtering the city, and thousands of lives were wiped out in an instant. Gai Nie glared at Duanmu Rong viciously, blaming her for preventing herself from coming to save these innocent lives, but Gai Nie also asked herself, even if Duanmu Rong didn't stop it, how many lives could she save by herself, who was known as the "No. 1 Sword in the World"?
After Jing Tianming came back with Liu Bi, everyone was gathered. The eight people walked out of the north gate of Huaiyin, which once belonged to the homeland of the Chu State, and now has become the boundary of the Qin State. As far as the eye can see, is there any territory in this world that does not belong to the Qin State, and where can they go?
After walking for a stick of incense, there were occasional corpses of people on both sides of the road, thinking that they were the people of Huaiyin who tried to escape after the soldiers came to the city, right? But none of them could escape, and they fell on the side of the road one by one, becoming the unjust souls of the Qin State Iron Cavalry.
Gai Nie couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and secondly, he didn't want to bump into the Qin army who was returning to the city, so he immediately led everyone to the small hillside in front of him. After climbing the hill, Liu Bi suddenly shouted, "Wait and go." If you go further, you won't be able to see Huaiyin City when you go downhill. 」
Liu Bi reluctantly stared at Huaiyin City under the mountain, the place where he lived since he was a child, but Huaiyin at this time was already an empty city, an empty city with blood.
Jing Tianming, Gao Yue, and Xiang Yu all stood silently behind Liu Bi, and the four of them looked at Huaiyin together. All the memories of their childhood disappeared with the destruction of Huaiyin City, and they knew that they would never be able to return to Huaiyin, even if they could return to their hometown one day in the future, it would never be the Huaiyin City that once belonged to them.
Everyone has their own thoughts and thoughts, and even Duanmu Rong, who has always had a strange personality, seems to have a trace of melancholy in her eyes at this time. At this moment, no one wanted to speak, and they could not speak, except for the two donkeys that occasionally became impatient and neighed twice, but they were also strangled by the reins tied to their mouths.
Gaylan glanced at what seemed to be something colorful in the bushes, looked at it, and exclaimed, "Ah! it's the second, third, fourth, and fifth aunts!" In the bushes, four good-looking, well-groomed women, each badly wounded, fell in a pool of their own blood. Gailan stepped forward, shook his head, and said, "They're all dead. 」
Duanmu Rong pointed to the gold and silver they were holding in their arms and said, "They probably heard that the Qin army had arrived, and they had collected their belongings privately, leaving Liu Yuanwai, and wanted to escape by themselves, right?" Liu Bi had always known that these second, third, fourth, and fifth aunts were all selfish, and they didn't get off the donkey, but just nodded in agreement. Gao Yue replied, "But they still couldn't escape, so they were killed by the Qin army. Jing Tianming was silent, even if it was this noisy second, third, fourth, and fifth aunt who was constantly bullying the original match, he should not die, let alone die in the hands of his father Qin Wang Yingzheng, whom he admired since childhood.
Gai Nie sighed. Xiang Yuqi said, "Uncle, what are you sighing for?"
Gai Nie pointed to the four people on the ground and said to Xiang Yu: "You see, although these four people are dead, none of the gold, beads, and jade silks they carry are missing, and the Qin army kills people without robbing money, which shows that military discipline is strict. To defeat the Qin State, I think it will be very difficult. 」
Xiang Yu saw that this was really the case, but his heart suddenly brightened. He couldn't learn literature, so he changed to martial arts, and after a few years, he knew that he still lost to Jing Tianming, which was even more unattainable than Gai Nie. In addition, in the cave, although Gai Nie was called the "No. 1 Sword in the World", he was helpless to fiddle with Duanmu Rong. It seems that the martial arts can only deal with a few people at a time, and if you encounter thousands of troops, it is expected to be useless.
