Chapter 568: The King of Heaven sighs at the sound of wind and cranes

PreviousBack to directoryNext
To the north of Shouchun, one hundred and thirty miles away, in the wilderness.

Fu Jian was lying motionless on the horse's back. Mrs. Zhang had already sat behind him, holding the reins tightly. Her delicate body was pressed tightly against Fu Jian's body. She was basically not very good at riding a horse.

After Fu Jian was hit by an arrow, she became the driver. I wonder if it was the blessing of God, but under the guidance of the semi-conscious Fu Jian, she managed to control the Xihe Pegasus and ran wildly. Four hours later

, and finally escaped here.

There was a blood stain on Fu Jian's right shoulder. Although the arrow did not damage the bones, it still hurt him terribly. But when he was running for his life, the sound of killing behind him was loud. It seemed that everyone was shouting:

"Don't leave Fu Jian, don't leave Fu Jian!"

Frightened by the sound, Fu Jian basically didn't dare to stop and bandage the wound. I don't know when it started, but the cry of killing gradually diminished. Finally, Fu Jian realized the pain in his shoulder, "Ouch.

"A cry came out, and Mrs. Zhang was surprised by this and tightly held the reins of the horse. The Xihe Pegasus immediately stopped its four hooves and stood upright. The huge inertia shook Fu Jian and he finally couldn't control his body.

It tilted outward and rolled off the saddle.

There was a burst of exclamations from all around: "King of Heaven, King of Heaven!"

Fu Jian only felt that his body fell into an endless abyss. It was pitch black and he couldn't see east, west, north, and south clearly. He could only hear the miserable sound of wind, and someone seemed to be shouting in the sky: "Don't leave, Fu Jian."

Don't leave, Fu Jian!"

A sad smile appeared at the corner of Fu Jian's mouth: "Is Gu really going to die here?"

A crack of a whip and a "snap" pulled Fu Jian's chaotic consciousness back from the abyss of falling. He felt his waist tighten and be caught by something, and then a strong force was launched, and his body

Soaring high into the sky, Fu Jian shouted: "King of Heaven, please forgive me for being rude!" A strong arm held him tightly, and after a while, Fu Jian felt that the world was spinning, and he felt his feet

He stepped on the ground, and his whole body finally stood still.

Fu Jian rubbed his eyes and calmed down. He saw a majestic figure kneeling in front of him. A stone fell in his heart: "Yes, is it General Zhang?"

The purple-faced and beardless Zhang Hao raised his head, with tears in his eyes. He clasped his hands in his fists and knelt down on one knee. There was a hint of crying in his voice: "King of Heaven, you must take care of yourself. Your rescue is too late."

,capital offense!"

Fu Jian felt a little relieved, and the voice of Quan Yi on the side rang out: "King of Heaven, when you fell off the horse just now, I was so frightened that I waited. Fortunately, Captain Murong arrived in time, caught you with his long whip, and threw you to

It gave General Zhang the chance to catch you in the air."

Fu Jian turned his head and looked to the other side, and saw that Murong Lan had already rolled off the horse, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "King of Heaven, I am humbled by my duty and my rescue is late. Something happened unexpectedly just now, so I can only do something extraordinary. If

If you have harmed the heavenly king's jade body, please punish me for the crime of debasement!"

Fu Jian curled his lips, took two steps forward, and helped Zhang Hao and Murong Lan up: "General Zhang, Captain Murong, you are loyal to me, how can I punish you? I will definitely remember this contribution.

Yes, it’s just that now that the army has been defeated, I can’t reward you with anything. I can only send it to you for the time being, and I will reward you later.”

At this point, Fu Jian's eyes saw Zhang Hao's cloak. This originally very majestic and beautiful general's cloak was already in tatters, with patches of smoke and blood stains on it. Fu Jian frowned,

He took off his cloak and tied it to Zhang Hao's body with his own hands.

Zhang Hao was stunned at first, then waved his hands repeatedly: "King of Heaven, I can't do it, I can't do it."

Fu Jian sighed: "Today's defeat is all due to the loyalty of the general. It is said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough water knows the loyal ministers. Although we are defeated in this battle, we have loyal ministers and soldiers. I believe that,

God will not abandon us, General Zhang. You have fought so hard and your armor is torn. How can I just watch you dressed like this? You deserve this, don't refuse!"

Zhang Hao was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he knelt down on the ground: "I will follow the King of Heaven to the death, through swords and mountains of fire, even to the death!"

Fu Jian's spirit cheered up a little, and he shook his head. The strange voice kept echoing in his ears: "Have you heard that someone has been shouting that he wants to kill Gu? It seems that there is something else in this voice.

It came from heaven."

Everyone's expressions changed and they raised their heads. They saw two white cranes flying through the sky, flapping their wings and singing. Together with the sound of the wind, it really sounded like a cry for death.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly understood and said: "King of Heaven, I'm afraid you mistook the sound of the wind and the roar of cranes as a cry to kill. We fled all the way and left the Jin army far behind. Now Fang Yuan

There are no other armies within ten miles, so we are safe for the time being."

Fu Jian nodded, and suddenly a huge sadness hit his heart. Just a day ago, he was still arrogant, thinking about the overlord who would dominate the world, but now, he has fallen into such a state. Fu Rong's face, in front of his eyes

It kept shaking, making him burst into tears. For a moment, he almost wanted to die.

Murong Lan's voice suddenly sounded coldly: "King of Heaven, it took a lot of effort for us to protect you from the encirclement. Now is not the time to be sad. We can only be safe if we continue walking north."

Zhang Hao's expression changed and he said sternly: "How dare you, Murong Lan, how dare you be so presumptuous to the King of Heaven!"

Murong Lan said calmly: "In this extraordinary period, it is stupid to abide by the usual red tape. We people are running for our lives now and have no time and time to think. Now the war is in chaos. Even if the Jin army pursues us for a while,

If not, there will be countless stragglers who will pose a threat to us."

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips and asked suspiciously: "Our soldiers of Great Qin will also be disadvantageous to the King of Heaven?"

Murong Lan nodded: "Normally, the soldiers have strict military discipline, but now they have been defeated like a mountain. One-third to half of the hundreds of thousands of troops will be killed in battle, and the rest will be defeated. They have lost their organizational structure and have no military law."

These stragglers who have been restrained have no food or water. If they don't want to starve to death, they have to rob and kill. If some people have evil intentions, seeing that we have few people, they are more likely to murder the king and seek rewards."

Fu Jian was distraught and sighed: "The defeat was so bad that even one of our own people would plot against Gu. Oh my god, how could Gu get to this point?!"
