Eighth Chapter 9qu Linglong Array 2
Liu Shucheng sighed deeply and finally waved his hand and ordered the soldiers around him to open the city. Under the city, I turned over the horse with the Mingjian. I left my dagger and said to Liu Shucheng, "General Liu, it's Nianqing's rude today." After saying that, he quickly hit the horse and left.
If you are on the horse, your vision will be better. I tried to identify the direction of Che and my brother, and I wanted to go. Theming sword suddenly grabbed the reins in my hand and said with a serious expression, "Princess, no."
"What?" I looked at the sword puzzledly, and he had accompanied me out of the city. Why did he stop me here?
"At this time, it's too dangerous to enter the battle, and my subordinates are not sure that they can protect the princess without injury."
"Mingjian, what I want is not that I am unharmed, what I want is that the four people retreat completely."
"Princess, it's futile to do anything now." The sword lowered his eyes and said.
"In vain? What does this mean?
"The nine-curve Linglong array has been formed, and the Southern Plains will be defeated."
I paused and turned to the array, but saw a scene that I would never forget in my life. In the array, Brother Xian was holding a long sword and rushing his horse to Che at a very fast speed. He avoided the sword and instinctived Brother Xian with his backhand. However, at this time, Brother Xian was a little stunned. A sword that could have been avoided really pierced his chest. Che's face seemed to be a little surprised, but there must be no compassion on the battlefield. At this moment, Ming Xiao and the rosefinch had raised their swords to attack Brother Xian. Brother Xian fought desperately against a few moves and fell from the horse. Li, who was blocked by Lin Sheng's army, killed several people in front of him and captured Brother Xian's fallen body. While protecting Brother Xian, Li had a fight with the rosefinch and Mingxiao beside him. The more and more people around Li gathered, it was finally difficult for him to fight, and his body was injured by many swords.
"Brother Xian!" Looking at the bloody virtuous brother in Li's arms, I couldn't stand it any longer and rushed to the front. There is only one idea in his mind. Brother Xian will never die, and Sister Ziyin is still waiting for him in Nanzheng Palace.
"Princess." The sword lost its voice, but his men couldn't hold me.
I'm on the right side, regardless of the knife and gun around me, just want to get to them as soon as possible. Theming sword helped me block the oblique spear and rushed to my Nanyuan army like crazy. Fortunately, I was not far from Che. I finally rushed to the array before Li couldn't stand it. When I arrived, my brother happened to bring someone there.
I didn't care about my brother's surprised eyes or Che's angry expression. I almost rolled down from the horse and ran to Brother Xian.
"Brother Xian." I jumped to Brother Xian's side and looked at the blood foam from the corners of his mouth. I was already sobbing.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. It seemed that Che ordered to stop the attack. I didn't go to see Che. At this time, he scared me.
"Qing'er..." Brother Xian raised his hand full of blood and smiled calmly, but his eyes were a little lax.
I held Brother Xian's weak hand, almost cried and said incoherently, "Brother Xian, hold on, don't die, you can't die, Qing'er still owes you an explanation..."
"Qing-er" Brother Xian's voice was a little inaudible. I bent down to try to hear his words, "Give-give me, Ziyin-say me, yes, I'm sorry, she." Brother Xian took out a jade flute and handed it to me, and then smiled with relief and said, "I'm tired, Qinger, in fact, I'm in love." Brother Xian suddenly couldn't say any more. The expression on his face was a little distorted because of pain. Finally, he couldn't hold on. The hand holding the jade flute hung down like this.
"Ah---" Li, who hugged Brother Xian, cried with a headache. Looking at Brother Xian's face, which had been stained with blood like a spring breeze, my heart seemed to hurt like a time. I fell to the ground and couldn't spit out a word.
Suddenly, I was pulled up and brought into my arms by one hand. I raised my eyes and saw Che's angry face. I smiled miserably and let him support my paralyzed body. Seeing this, Yan Yingchen and Luo Yan surrounded Li and Brother Xian, with the same deep and painful expressions.
Li picked up Brother Xian with some effort, and the wounds on his body were still bleeding. He turned around and gave me a deep look. The deep affection in my eyes that seemed to be inexhaustible for thousands of years shocked my whole body. What a complicated look, love deep into the bone marrow, heartbreaking, want to hate, reluctant to give up, want to love, but can't get it.
Che let go of me and ordered the collection of the troops. I looked at Li's distant figure and couldn't stand it any longer. Brother Xian, I'm sorry, Sister Ziyin, I'm sorry." Tears fell drop by drop in the soil in front of me. I looked at my turbid tears on the ground and clenched the jade flute stained with Brother Xian's blood in my hand.
I don't know how long I have been kneeling like this, but I feel that there are fewer and fewer people around me, and in the end, only the underworld sword is still standing behind me.
I straightened my scattered hair, stood up and said to the sword, "Go back to the city."
I'm glad that I haven't lost my mind and I can still walk on my feet.
"Princess, be careful." I staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, the sword held me in time.
"I'm fine." Waving my hand, I pushed away the sword and walked back with a deep and shallow foot. There were dead soldiers around, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, but at this time I was not afraid. I just felt cold, cold, cold like a thousand years of ice, as if even blood could freeze.
I don't know how I got back to the county guard and how I lay **. No one came to blame me about today, and no one came to ask me about it. I felt like a corpse lying alive, with empty eyes, and the blood-stained figure of Brother Xian floated in front of me. He closed his eyes tiredly, and his clothes stained with blood and dust were also tired of changing. I wrapped myself in the quilt and wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry anymore.
I slept until midnight, and I felt someone around me sighing gently, and the cold and soft touch on my forehead made me feel sad. Because I didn't know how to face it, I chose to escape and avoid the man I had promised to stay with each other all my life.
For the next five days, I lived as usual, as if the shadow of death had been far away from me. I will play with that jade flute in my spare time. Maybe Brother Xian has a spirit in heaven, but I have been able to play the music intermittently for three days. Ming Jian accompanied me left and right. Looking at my indifferent smile, his eyebrows would always be so entangled.
I didn't go to see Che, and Che didn't come to visit me. I don't blame him. Brother Xian's death is not Che's fault. Life and death are inherently fatal. What's more, Brother Xian's death is not an accident, not accidental. Although I was far away at that time, I could also see Brother Xian's abnormality. I just couldn't figure out who did this? I don't want to put this on that gentle man. I don't want to believe that he will do such a thing. But all the reasons point to him, and I have to believe it. So I was habitual and couldn't figure it out, so I gave up.
There are always only two words to report the situation to me every day: safe. Finally, I couldn't help questioning the Mingjian, and then he hesitated to say that the prince had worked hard day and night to discuss the future war with the generals and only took two or three hours off a day.
I pondered for a little and asked Ming Jian to find the rosefinch. After carefully asking about his diet and living, he couldn't help frowning. Unable to hold down my worries, I picked up my skirt and quickly walked to the council chamber.
When I arrived at the door of the council hall, I didn't dare to rush in for fear of disturbing them to discuss military affairs. After waiting around the door for a while, I heard a fierce dispute intermittently. It seems that they sent a peace-seeking document and were willing to hand over Jinguan City and return to Nanyuan. However, the people in the room disagreed with the reconciliation and insisted on taking advantage of the victory. Che seemed to say nothing and let the crowd retreat. Several generals in the room pushed the door and came out and saw me. There was a slight surprise in their eyes, mixed with a little disgust. I smiled calmly. How can others understand my helplessness?
I walked into the council chamber and saw Che holding his head with his hands and closing his eyes to think. Hearing my footsteps, he still didn't raise his eyes, but said slightly tiredly, "There is no need to say more. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."
"Why don't you go back to your room to rest when you are tired?" I stood at the table and asked softly.
I opened my eyes and looked at me in surprise. I smiled and said, "My husband is still blaming me?"
"Qier..." Che sighed helplessly, and then pulled me into his arms.
"I know that I was reckless, which made you worry and took a lot of bad names for me." My heart softened in an instant, and my waywardness gave him much trouble.
"You are my wife. Even if thousands of people spit on you, I will carry it for you." I couldn't hide the fatigue on my spoiled face, and I lowered my eyes to hide the fog in my eyes. These days, there has been a steady stream of voices accusing me in the army. It's not that I don't know. It's just that Che blocked all these out of my quiet courtyard, and I was happy, but I couldn't really ignore them. After all, my words and deeds that day were seen by everyone. How could the princess be so out of position in front of the battle?
"Che, I'm willing to take the punishment for missing the military plane."
"Penalty? Who dares." Che's eyes flashed sharply, and I shook his hand and gave him a stable smile.
"It's time to give an explanation to the soldiers. I don't want to be a beauty disaster. The war that day was delayed by me. I should always bear this responsibility."
After listening to my words, Che pondered for a moment, and then laughed loudly and said, "Sure enough, it is difficult to raise only women and villains in the world. Your wishes have been completed, but you still need to be praised by others. What a Princess Che."
"Don't misunderstand my heart." I smiled and said annoy, and I couldn't help but feel a haze in my heart. To be honest, I'm really still worried about whether Li and my brother will fight to the end. I'm not sure, but I don't want to ask him at this time.
Che finally followed my will. In front of the commanders and deputy generals, he had a cold expression and wanted to deal with me according to the military law, 80 military sticks. I was better than snow in white, smiled at the corners of my mouth, and happily received the punishment. Everyone was stunned when they saw the situation, and there was no sign of investigation in their eyes. So under the leadership of Zhuque Mingxiao, Qi knelt down and begged for mercy and asked King Che to take back his order. Che looked at the sergeants, snorted coldly, and ordered me to be banned as punishment. After this, I went to the kitchen alone and spent almost a day steaming out the number of steamed buns that I couldn't find out, and asked the maid to send them to the barracks in a drawer. A considerable number of dishes were fried to reward the brave generals.
