Chapter 182: The General's Death (5)
Whenever the sun sets, before nightfall, the sky of Caoyun County will be dyed with a layer of golden-red glow.
Whenever this happens, the soldiers close the four gates of the county.
The conscripts and the townspeople would fill a basin of clean well water, and then carefully sprinkle the well water in every corner of the city wall.
However, at dusk on this day, the gates of the county town were not closed.
It was no longer well water that was sprinkled on the city walls, but steaming blood.
Peng Yong, who was wearing a brute tiger armor and was covered in blood, was holding a long lance with blood dripping at the tip in one hand, and the hair of four human heads in the other.
He wore his hair scattered, and on his expressionless face, his cold eyes stared at Yu Ruo, who was not far away, holding a long sword, and his face was full of anger.
"Young master. β
Peng Yong pulled the hair of the four heads and threw the heads at Yu Ruo.
The four human heads landed on the ground in front of Yu Ruo, and the bones spun around a few times.
"Your kindness. β
"I take it to heart. β
"So. β
Peng Yong raised the lance above his head with both hands and strode towards Yu Ruo.
His eyes glowed bloodthirsty, but his voice was calm.
"Peng Yong, you can only report in the next life. β
If.
There are words for an afterlife.
On this day, more than 20,000 Baisha soldiers wearing black plate armor and more than 10,000 Caoyun soldiers wearing silver armor rushed into Caoyun County.
The raging flames lit up the night sky through the castle walls of the county town.
The shrill shouts of killing and excited cheers were mixed with the sounds of fighting, howls of pain, and bursts of hysterical screams.
The blood spread to every corner of the county town along with the flames.
The county town of Caoyun at this time. It seems to have become a veritable purgatory standing in the world.
This is war.
After war, it is often a reckoning with the roots.
The door of the temple of the spire attic was pushed open by the ultimate victor of the war.
Liu Li, who was wearing silver-plated chain armor, had just walked into the hall and saw the child standing in front of the white jade pedestal at the end of the hall.
The child's complexion is dark, his facial features are delicate, but his eyes are a little dull.
The child wears a dark blue silk suit. He has a python-patterned ribbon around his waist, and his hands hold the hilt of a sword with a green diamond-shaped jade in the center, and his knuckles are slightly white.
The child raised a sword as thick as a thumb and only a foot long, and pointed at Liu Li with full vigilance.
Liu Li frowned slightly, and then turned into a green wind, passed through the hall, and rushed to the child's body.
He looked down at the child, but he didn't realize that it was supposed to belong to a child. Trembling uncontrollably with fear.
He only saw the child meeting Liu Li's gaze, bowed his head and was silent for a moment, and then stabbed him with his sword.
Liu Li stretched out his hand and effortlessly slapped the sword in the child's hand. He grabbed the collar of the child's dark blue silk suit and lifted the child off the ground with one hand.
"At a young age. β
"It's so vicious. β
"In the future, I don't know how many killings we will make. β
Liu Li watched as he was lifted high, and he was still struggling. The child, with a fierce glint in his eyes, shook his head.
"I, Liu Li, will do a good deed. β
"Do it for the heavens. β
Liu Li raised his left hand. The liquid indigo Gangyuan circulated on the palm of his left hand.
His eyes were slightly empty, and his right hand, which was holding the child's collar, gradually increased his strength, and the straight child's face was pale and breathless.
"Force. β
A crisp female voice suddenly entered the main hall.
The indigo Gangyuan condensed on Liu Li's left hand immediately faded and disappeared without a trace.
Liu Li held his breath until his face was blue, but he never snorted, and threw it on the white jade seat, turned around and walked down the stone steps quickly.
A woman dressed in brown linen walked into the hall.
The woman is about one meter six tall, and there is no blood on her immature face.
Her lips were white and her body was thin.
"Wan'er. β
"I'm here. β
Liu Li didn't drive Gangyuan, but at an extremely fast speed, he jumped in front of Peng Wan'er in a few steps.
"Alright. β
Peng Wan'er stretched out her slender right hand, and her five fingers gently caressed the silver-plated armor plate on Liu Li's chest.
She looked at the mottled blood stains on the silver shining armor, which were still red, and her face became even paler.
"Force, stop killing people. β
"Got here, that's enough. β
Hearing this, Liu Hengyi grabbed the small hand that stopped in front of his chest and smiled.
"Listen to you. β
"Don't kill it. β
Liu Heng carefully combed the broken hair on Peng Wan'er's forehead with his fingers, and then smiled and hugged the blushing Peng Wan'er in his arms.
The dark-faced child stood up from the white jade pedestal.
He looked at the two people embracing each other in the hall, and there was a look of resentment in his eyes.
Six years later.
It was still at dusk, when the sky of Caoyun County was dyed with golden-red clouds.
In the castle of Caoyun County, in the spire attic, in the balcony planted with roses.
Peng Wan'er, who was wearing a dark thick shirt and had a pale face, sat on a low couch.
Liu Heng, who was wearing a blue silk suit and had a dark face, knelt behind the woman.
"Heng'er, do you know?"
Peng Wan'er stretched out her right hand, pointed at the sky covered with red glow with her index finger, and whispered, "Tonight, there will be a full moon." β
"On this moon dwells a god who grows around his house the fruit that shines with silver mangoes. β
"It is said that these spirit fruits, you can become an immortal by eating one. β
"Even if you drink a sip of the dew on the skin of this fruit, you can live forever. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng bowed his head respectfully and did not speak.
"Huh. β
Peng Wan'er laughed to herself, and continued to whisper: "When I first heard this, I didn't believe it. β
"But I still want to tell you. β
"Li, always so naΓ―ve, telling jokes that can't deceive people. β
"For the past six years. β
Peng Wan'er removed the smile from her face and sighed.
His eyes were full of infinite tenderness, but his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Really, it hurt him. β
"He and his brother should have a better future. β
"Heng'er. β
"I know what you want to do. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng hung his head, still did not speak,
He quietly lowered his right hand and reached for the hem of his skirt.
The pupils in his eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly gritted his teeth and decided to do it.
"Don't do it. β
Peng Wan'er shook her head, her face even more decadent.
"Heng'er. β
"My life is tonight. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng's body stiffened and raised his head suddenly.
"My brother's fire-based vitality and force's wind-based vitality can suppress the cold poison in my body. β
Peng Wan'er smiled, and a flush suddenly appeared on her pale face.
"But if I want to die, I only need to use the luck method, and use my brother's fire element to weaken the wind element of force, and the cold poison can attack the heart, and I will definitely die. β
"So, Heng'er, don't do anything stupid. β
"I've lived enough, but I can't bother you. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng's eyes widened, and his whole body began to tremble. (To be continued......)
