After stepping over corpses one after another, he walked up to Zhao Changyuan. His tall body cast Zhao Changyuan in the shadows. "Brother doesn't want to kill you, so you can leave." Guo Chongxi stared into his eyes and said tremblingly.
"Why on earth..." Zhao Changyuan finally couldn't help but said his first words to the enemy.
"Brother can't help it. They... captured my wife and children... my Wan Niang..." When he said this, Guo Chongxi's eyes were already slightly red.
Zhao Changyuan was stunned, and the mystery in his heart was finally solved.
Guo Chongxi was in great pain. Inside was the emperor who was kind and righteous to him, and in front of him was a simple and honest young man. But what the enemy held in his hands was his dearest relative: "Don't blame brother, brother really can't do anything."
No!" When he said this, his thick voice was almost choked.
Zhao Changyuan squeezed out a wry smile and said helplessly: "I don't blame you. If I were you, I would be the same as you."
"Then get out of here and leave it alone!" Guo Chongxi angrily persuaded him to leave. He really couldn't do anything to him.
"You are a man, and it is your duty to protect your wife and children. And I...can't bring shame to my family." After saying that, Zhao Changyuan straightened up and put the long knife across his hand: "Brother, do it."
We fought from noon yesterday to the morning of the next day without eating or resting. The young general was already exhausted to the limit. What's more, he was no match for Guo Chongxi. In such a battle, he would undoubtedly risk his life.
.
At this moment, Gong Yueyue's army was still in the imperial garden, spreading the map and trying hard to find the secret passage leading to the dormitory. The right path was guarded by Mr. Luo and the imperial guards. If he broke into the palace with great fanfare, the old thief would definitely threaten the emperor's life.
.
Young Master Pan originally wanted to climb over the wall, but after he made some inquiries, he discovered that the palace wall across the dormitory was also full of imperial guards. That was because Zhao Changyuan's sudden appearance caused the old thief to step up his guard against the palace wall.
Everyone was helpless and wandered around in the imperial garden for a long time. Gong Yueyue walked to the lake in frustration, staring at the lake in front of her and the row of palaces opposite. Beyond the row of palaces, there was the emperor's palace. If she could
It would be great if this row of obstructive palaces were pushed away.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she shouted to Pan Zhuqing, who was pacing back and forth with a map behind her: "Brother Pan, come here."
Pan Zhuqing's confusion was over. She took the map over, spread it out in front of him, and then said to him excitedly: "Look here."
The other party didn't seem to understand what she meant, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything special.
She had to explain to him clearly: "The row of palaces in front of us is built on the lake. If we cross through the water, where will we go? Look." After saying that, she pointed to the location of the emperor's palace on the map.
.
Pan Zhuqing exclaimed: "The lotus pond in the bedroom!" You can't blame him for not thinking about where he had been in the emperor's bedroom. Gong Yueyue accidentally figured out this mechanism because she looked at the map repeatedly.
The sergeants who knew the nature of water were all ready and ready to go into the water at any time. Gong Yueyue took off her gown and put her hair into a bun again. Pan Zhuqing endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so he leaned into her ear and whispered under his breath:
"Don't go down there. What should I do if I get lost underwater?" This woman actually understands the nature of water. Is there anything she doesn't know? As a grown man, if he falls into the water one day, he can only shout for help.
Xiao Jun couldn't hold his breath anymore: "Master Pan is right, I will just take them down." When they reached the bottom of the palace, there was no lighting in the huge water area, and there was no way to surface to take a breath. If anything happened, he would
There is no way to save him.
Of course Gong Yueyue knew the dangers, but she had been able to swim since she was a child, and she had to hold her breath for a long time. Although Yang Yiyi's body was not as strong as her previous one, after half a year of hard training, her lung capacity was still enough to cope with this distance.
Yes. "You don't know the structure below this palace. I can't explain it in a sentence or two. It's better for me to take the lead. Don't worry, I'm very good at water and nothing will happen." She is not pushy.
Just standing by the lake today, she had a strong subconscious mind that led her to want to go to the other side of the palace.
Zhao Xiong couldn't calm down: "My child, you can't be brave, otherwise Zhao'er..." The wife here is too courageous. While he admires her, he is also worried that something will happen to her, and that his son will follow him in the future.
No more fun.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'm sure of it." When she heard the pretty boy's name, her desire to go became even stronger.
"You...be careful." Yang Guodong felt extremely uncomfortable. He had yelled at her to kill her. Now it seems that how could such a heroic woman kill his daughter?
Gong Yueyue smiled brightly, walked up to the sergeants, and said to them sternly: "Follow me, everyone, and don't fall behind. When we get to the other side, everything will be arranged and dispatched by Deputy General Chen. Don't act rashly. The safety of the hostages' lives comes first. Understand.
Yet?"
"Understood!"
After hearing the sergeants' decisive affirmation, she jumped into the lake first. Then Xiao Juan, and then the sergeants also entered the water.
Master Pan admired Gong Yueyue's courage, but he was also secretly glad that his son did not know how to swim and did not have to take risks. Before he could take a breath, the second boy Pan Jingyuan beside him had already taken off his shirt and jumped into the water.
Guo Chongxi's eyes were blood red, and there was a trace of vague moisture in his eyes. He pointed at him and shouted: "I don't want to kill you! Get out of my way!"
"After I die, don't hurt the prince and princess. They are both children." After saying this with all his strength, he closed his eyes, held on to the door frame, and waited for the other party's final blow.
Guo Chongxi saw that he was stubborn and looked miserable and pitiful. He simply changed his mind and decided to send him on his way decisively. He picked up the knife that had been thrown on the ground and walked towards him silently.
Just as he walked up to him, he raised the knife, two small figures jumped out from the inner hall, quickly ducked behind Zhao Changyuan and hugged him tightly, and then, heartbreaking children's sounds filled everyone's ears and hearts.
The tears stained the blood on his face and slowly slid down, like the tragic and bloody tears of a young general. "Mom and Dad, I tried my best and didn't embarrass you." He thought sadly in his heart.
Guo Chongxi's nose felt sour, and he turned around and said to the imperial guard behind him: "Don't do anything in front of the child, just throw it into the pond."
Several people hesitated, but still stepped forward, and without much effort, they took off Zhao Changyuan's hands, and with the two children behind him, they used his arms to drag him away from the dormitory door.
The last will of his whole body was quickly withdrawn, and all the muscles and bones in his body softened. The two children behind him were still making a last-ditch effort for his life. "Let go of Brother General! You bastards!"
Don't kill him! Spare him!" The last protector in the children's hearts was destroyed in front of their eyes.
"General Zhao, do you have anything else to say?" After dragging him to the pond, one of the Imperial Guards guards couldn't bear it and asked him softly in his ear.
He tried his best to smile bitterly, and said with some difficulty: "I have two letters in my pocket. I want to take them."
The guard took out the letters from his pocket and put them in front of his eyes and asked, "Are these these two letters?"
He nodded: "Yes, thank you." The guard thrust the letters into his hands, and he held them tightly with all his strength, raising the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. "Yueyue... Madam..." He whispered softly to himself.
"General, I'm sorry, you are a good man." The last sigh was masked by the sound of water splashing when he fell into the water.
The young general, who was very good at water, no longer had any strength to struggle. He could only open his eyes and take one last look at the world in front of him. The water was very cold, but it washed away the blood on his face as if it cherished him.
Let him wait innocently for the arrival of death. The big mouthful of air in his chest slowly disappeared into the water. The past flashed past his blurred vision like smoke.
"Because I don't like you. So, you can either divorce me or stay away from me..."
"What's wrong with me? Aren't we just chatting? You are my man, can't I chat with others?"
"I, I'm not yours. I'm my own."
"Is it easy for Zhuge Liang to write a "Departure from the Master"? He burst into tears! Just give it to you to put out the fire?"
"You are my husband-in-law, don't compare yourself with others."
"No more, just like my love for you, it no longer exists."
"I like you."
"Don't let yourself get hurt, you are mine."
"I'm waiting for you."
"I love you."
He was grateful that the illusion allowed him to take a look at the person he found most difficult to let go of at this moment. She swam towards him like a mermaid, with distress and reluctance for him in her eyes. Even if it was an illusion, he was very satisfied.
The last bit of air was exhausted, and the lake water rushed into his mouth, nose, and lungs. The unbearable severe pain attacked his chest mercilessly. His consciousness became increasingly blurred. He frowned in pain and looked not far away.
She stretched out her hand... The gentle touch instantly awakened his consciousness. Before he could distinguish between reality and fantasy, he was hugged by her. The long-lost tenderness made him forget everything, including where he was. In excitement,
He took another deep gulp of water, twitched in her arms, and closed all consciousness.
After desperately swimming out of the water, Gong Yueyue lifted Zhao Changyuan up and found that he had no breath at this time, his face was peaceful and calm, with a faint smile.
Her mind went blank until several heads emerged from the water around her. Pan Jingyuan swam up to her and reminded her in a low voice: "Don't be in a daze. Why don't you take him ashore quickly? If it's too late, he'll be gone!"
, took his body and swam towards the nearest shore.
Vice General Chen said: "Leave it to us, you go and have a look."
Gong Yueyue suddenly woke up and chased Pan Jingyuan.
There was no heartbeat, no breathing, no pulse... only the injuries all over his body and the two love letters clutched tightly in his hands. Gong Yueyue spent all his life's learning, but could not bring him back to breath.
"Get up, you can't die, you can't..." After artificial respiration, there was another burst of compressions, and she kept chattering as if she was possessed. The bad boy watched silently on the side, and couldn't even bear to sigh. (To be continued)
