The two riders on the left and right dropped two rolls of ropes and helped Wu Chen stand up again. Jiang Yan, who was pinned down by his mount, also jumped up and reached out to wipe the gradually drying blood on his face:
"Why are you back?!"
"Now is not the time to ask these questions! Were you heading towards Miyagi before?"
Tuya, however, raised the front hooves of the horse and stepped down hard again to ensure that the galloping wolf on the ground would not jump up again and hurt her husband.
The black-eyed boy nodded and immediately got on his horse. The seven-foot-long Mo Dao in his hand was now like a black-gold flag, shining dazzlingly among the ruined walls.
The 5,000 heavy cavalry brought by Tuya instantly changed the current situation - although the wolves still had the upper hand in total numbers, after the troops were divided into three groups, the power was finally dispersed, and it was difficult for a while to launch a fatal attack on the humans in the city.
One blow.
The Red Flame Army took the opportunity to form a superior force in front of the palace city. With the huge sacrifice, the galloping wolves that were outflanked from both wings were all killed by the brave prairie people. Those who had been scattered earlier followed General Yan.
The remnants of the Red Flame Army who entered the city also followed the sounds of fighting and gathered around Hehan and the princess again.
The seemingly unattended gate of Yongyang Palace only lasted a moment under the attack of the cavalry before it was opened, allowing troops in red armor to file in.
"Block the palace door with stones!"
Tuya pointed at the rockery standing on Panlongyuan and shouted loudly, scolding Fang Qiu just like her ancestors who went south. This was the first time that the grassland people from the north entered the palace since the Great Ascension and the establishment of the dynasty.
Within the wall. However, in this protracted and fierce battle, both sides who have been fighting for thousands of years are losers.
Finally, the palace gate made of brass temporarily blocked the wolves outside the palace. The soldiers who entered the city also had a moment to breathe. Now, the red horses gathered in the square in front of the Wannian Palace that could accommodate ten thousand people.
However, more than half of the troops were reduced. Even those who survived were all wounded and their robes were stained with blood.
Finally, the young princess and He Han finally dismounted, side by side, holding hands, facing the palace wall in front of them that seemed to be as thin as paper between humans and wolves. Outside the wall, those who did not know why gradually became quiet.
The pack of wolves may be able to set up a wolf ladder and climb into the wall at any time, treating everyone inside as a feast for tonight.
"Why did you go back to save me? The city is now a dead place. Once you enter, it will be difficult to get out alive."
Jiang Yan turned to look at his wife beside him and said softly, but there was a rare tenderness in his tone.
The sudden appearance of Tuya made him suddenly realize how much this girl who seemed weak but had a strong heart really loved him. But he always used Ning Yue and that long-past past as a guise to let him
The wife in front of me even made myself believe that the two of them supported and encouraged each other just for the survival of the Muyun Department.
Now, he finally realized that he could no longer leave each other. This relationship was not an ordinary love between a man and a woman, but a complex emotion that included sympathy for each other and sharing weal and woe. At this moment, the young man suddenly understood the meaning of the word "wife"
.In my lonely life, the girl in front of me is probably the only person who will risk everything to save her in a city surrounded by wolves.
The girl next to him did not look at him, but looked to the north with some sadness, looking in the direction of Yanluoyuan:
"You said, if you and I hadn't encountered so many obstacles before, if we could have led our troops to pacify the wolf den in Lancang Mountain earlier, wouldn't it be possible that everything today would not have happened? But on the grassland today, there are still There are many men, women, old and children who have been promoted to the imperial court, so they don’t need to die?"
"It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in the world."
The black-eyed boy shook his head, his throat trembled slightly, and did not continue - in this world, there are too many traps set by fate, tempting people to make wrong decisions again and again, and then regretting their decisions. Out of reach.
The wife suddenly turned her head, with an extremely relieved smile on her face: "But at least - right now we are both alive and together."
Jiang Yan was stunned at first, and then laughed. After all, in this troubled world where no one knows what will happen, and no one knows when he will die, this quiet and peaceful moment seems to last forever.
However, the expression on Tuya's face suddenly froze, and then she suddenly dodged to the side of young Hehan.
Jiang Yan only felt that he was hit hard by the other party, and at the same time he also heard a soft "pop" sound in his ears. He turned around quickly, only to see that his wife had fallen softly into his arms, and there was still something on her chest. A long arrow as thick as a finger is inserted!
"Kill all Beidi and protect my promotion!"
Suddenly, the official words of Dashengguan sounded in the palace wall. The young man would never have thought that until now, there are still sporadic Zhijingo guarding the palace.
The man's eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept for many days, but the crossbow held in his hand was steady. It seemed that in his eyes, killing the Di people in front of him was not as big a deal as killing the galloping wolf outside the palace. difference.
"You-did-what-what!"
Jiang Yan suddenly burst into flames, but he didn't have time to pick up Xiao Tianmo beside him, so he rushed towards the forbidden army with his bare hands. Seeing this, the other party quickly reached for arrows, but the young man was like a panther rushing towards food. He knocked him to the ground with an elbow strike, and then raised his fists and hit the Jinwu warrior in the face one after another.
After fighting for a while, it seemed that it was still not enough to vent his anger. He was like a galloping wolf outside the palace, roaring and biting the opponent's neck. His teeth severed Jinwu's muscles and blood vessels, and the hot and salty smell filled the air. Young Hehan's words made him even more sad and angry.
He got up again and walked towards his wife again with staggering steps. However, Tuya was hit in the heart. Before she could say a word, she passed away. She could only open her eyes wide and try hard to see. A drop of clear tears hanging from the corners of her husband's eyes silently told her incomparable nostalgia for this world.
"The wolves retreat!"
Among the Red Flame Army around them, an unknown person climbed up to the top of the towering palace city, then took off the helmet he was wearing, held it high in his hand and waved it vigorously.
More and more knights in the city began to rush towards the palace wall. The crowds passed by Jiang Yan, and the joy of surviving a desperate situation made them completely uninterested in what happened in front of the Wannian Palace, not even the princess's life. Unfortunately, death no longer seems so important.
A deep sense of self-blame instantly surged into Young Hehan's heart. He suddenly felt that if he had worked harder, killed a few more wolves, and paid more attention to the movements around him, everything might have been completely different.
However, as he said himself: there are not so many ifs in this world.
In the crowd, Jiang Yan pressed his wife's gradually cold body to his chest, then sat on the ground like a rock in the stream, crying silently. Time seemed to have returned to the time when his life had changed.
In the small fishing village by the Yushui River, I returned to that heart-wrenching night.
Soon, the soldiers moved away the rockery blocking the palace gate, walked onto the streets that were full of ruined walls, but there was no sign of a wolf, laughing and shouting loudly, and waving robberies wantonly.
The joy of the rest of life.
However, under the open palace gate, the young man who had lost his beloved wife hugged Tuya's body for a long time and refused to let go.
It wasn't until the sun was setting that he dragged his heavy steps forward aimlessly like a zombie. When he raised his head again, he actually climbed up hundreds of white jade steps in front of him that were carved with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, standing in front of Yongyang.
In the palace hall.
The Wannian Hall is the tallest and largest main hall in the palace. It is located to the north of the mountain river road and to the south of Panlongyuan. In front of the hall is a dragon's tail road with stairs and slopes alternately built, which has been used for important events for thousands of years.
It is a place for celebrations and court gatherings. Its main hall is eleven rooms wide. There are three gates in the southeast and southwest directions, called Xiangluan Pavilion and Yiyu Pavilion. They are connected to the main hall by a corridor that is more than a hundred feet long.
When the palace was first built, it made full use of the high ground in the city where Panlongyuan is located. It is condescending and spectacular. Standing anywhere in the palace, you can overlook the entire Yujing city with a broad view. There is even a poem that goes: "Nine skies.
The palace gates are closed and closed, and the robes are hung around the palace to worship for thousands of years." This shows the grandeur of its momentum.
But now, standing in the palace, all I can see is decay and ruin. The sunset glow is like blood, and the fire in the city is getting stronger and stronger, dyeing the entire city a red gold color.
Looking at the raging flames in the city, young He Han suddenly didn't understand what he was doing after making such a big circle in the world. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound behind him, as if something was rolling.
It fell to the ground. The young man hurriedly tensed up his body and turned around to be on guard, only to see that the foolish emperor Bai Jiangxing who had been promoted to the imperial court appeared in the palace.
What fell to the ground was an exquisite small cage made of white porcelain, which had already been broken into thousands of pieces. Amid the cries of the silly emperor, a green and shiny Grasshopper jumped into the air and headed towards it.
The "No. 1 City in the World" that had turned into nothing outside the palace flew away.
"My green bug! My green bug has escaped!"
Bai Jiangxing stamped his feet, beat his chest, and burst into tears. His cries echoed in the huge Ten Thousand Years Palace. However, at this time, the thousand-year foundation laid by Bai Jiang's ancestors was no more than an autumn insect in his eyes.
But soon, a person came out of the darkness behind him. The person who came was wearing a cloak that was not very suitable. It was Kun Jie himself. He leaned over and said a few words in the silly emperor's ear,
He immediately coaxed him into laughing and clapped his hands and went back to his bedroom.
The visitor made Jiang Yan suddenly tighten his muscles all over his body, and his fingers touched Xiao Tianmo hanging on his back. He took half a step back to keep a slight distance from him, but he could attack, defend, advance or retreat.
.
"Da Hehan, I'm waiting for you here specially. Why did it take you so long to arrive?"
Kun Jie had the same smile on his face as always. However, the black-eyed boy did not relax his vigilance because of this, and responded coldly:
"Who do you honor? And why are you waiting for me?"
"Da Hehan, I have come here recently to send a message to that girl Ning Yue."
"Do you know Yue'er? What message did she ask you to send me?"
However, Jiang Yan did not relax at all because of this. On the contrary, he vaguely felt that the other party was unkind and held Xiao Tianmo tightly in his palm in advance.
The man in the cloak smiled again:
"Ning Yue asked me to tell Da Hehan not to look for her again in this life. Otherwise, the next time we meet, the two of you will turn against each other."
"You're talking nonsense, you don't know Yue'er at all!"
"Why, are you still imagining that one day you and her can go back to Mulu City, have another hot bite of Shaozi, watch the snow blowing on the Yanjiang River again, and drink a pot of Qingli Shao that has been aged for ten years? ?”
"How do you know so much about us? Who are you?!"
Jiang Yan was completely annoyed by the opponent. He shook his long knife and drew a jet-black arc of light in front of him. He pointed at the opponent and raised his voice to scold.
Kun Jie was not afraid of this at all, he still stood where he was and said in an unhurried tone:
"Who I am is not important. What is important is who I am, who has been maneuvering among the vassal states for decades, persuading Qi Shouyu of Ye State to usurp the throne, and persuading Yin Qujian of Cheng Kingdom to seize the opportunity to raise troops to march westward, and also persuaded Mu Muhe of the Yun tribe seized the Han position and attacked Garhai."
"What on earth do you want to say?!"
The more the young man listened, the more frightened he became, and he interrupted the other party fiercely.
"What I mean is that you know people but don't know their hearts. Haven't you ever doubted how the necklace that originally belonged to your sister hidden in your arms ended up in the hands of that girl Ning Yue?"
"Do you know the reason?"
"That's natural. Everything was planned by Ning Yue's father. And the small fishing village by the Yushui River was also massacred because of him. He even raised galloping wolves in Lancang Mountain, which caused great harm to the Han people. My wife died tragically in Yongyang Palace without even leaving a last word! Are you going to pretend that all this never happened?"
Hearing the other party mention the recently deceased Tuya, the young man couldn't help but shed cold tears in his eyes again, and gritted his teeth tightly:
"Yue'er may not know about it!"
The man in the cloak sneered and continued to instigate with all his strength:
"How could she not know? Not only her, but also the young master Ye Guo who is fleeing from here in a boat with her at this time, leaving you alone, and the silver-haired child next to them, are all interested in you You lied. Everything you see now is just a trick they used to hide the truth and kill people!"
"Shut up! They are all my friends and would never do such a thing!"
The young man's eyes were red. He suddenly shouted violently and jumped up with all his strength. He straightened the knife and attacked in front of the opponent. Unexpectedly, the moment the blade touched Kun Jie's body, he saw his whole body suddenly disappearing like smoke, leaving nothing but the ground. A cloak was left behind, as well as a piece of crystal clear black crystal wrapped in the cloak.
However, Kun Jie's previous words, which were difficult to distinguish between true and false, were like a sharp thorn that penetrated deeply into the hearts of young He Han, making it difficult to pull them out.
