Zhongzhou Continent has not heard such a shocking cry for hundreds of years. The shouts were shouted in unison without anyone commanding them, and they came completely from the bottom of their hearts. Each thread, one strand after another, converged into a roar that shot straight into the sky, loud and sad.
The thousand soldiers guarding the south city gate also heard the shocking roar. When a group of people looked at each other in confusion, the old general Bai Jingfu who was walking in front suddenly changed his expression, jumped on his horse and galloped towards the north of the city.
Having been a general all his life and fighting in battles all his life, Bai Jingfu knows very well what situations can make the soldiers so angry. Soldiers are used to life and death, and they can grit their teeth and persevere no matter how difficult it is, but there are only three things that cannot be touched.
——
The first is the honor of being a soldier, whether alive or not, it is the pride that is held tightly; the second is the land defended, and the enemy will never be allowed to invade; the third is the goal of loyalty and following, one person, one figure, as long as
Those who believe have not fallen, then they will fight to the end until their souls are gone.
Precisely because he knew so well, Bai Jingfu guessed what happened faster than anyone else. His weather-beaten face showed a rare expression of excitement, and his old body rode a horse, disappearing like the wind in the eyes of the dull soldiers.
.
The soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the streets to prevent people from rioting were all gone. When Bai Jingfu looked up at the city wall, he saw a dense wall of people. Every soldier tightened his long bow as much as possible and fired with all his strength.
Then he shouted loudly and looked around for available weapons.
"Haocheng..." Bai Jingfu jumped off his horse and stood under the city wall, murmuring and calling out his son's name softly.
Tens of thousands of arrows were quickly squandered. Someone accidentally turned around and saw Bai Jingfu standing dumbfounded. Tears fell like rain and his voice was filled with sorrow.
"Old General! General Bai..."
No one could say those two words, and they were washed away by tears as soon as they reached their lips. No matter what, they couldn't bring themselves to tell Bai Jingfu the cruel facts. But what effect would that have? What should have happened,
Those eyes that have seen all the ups and downs in the world can see things that should not happen, even the sad scenes that cannot be reached by the eyes.
The air in his lungs was painful. Bai Jingfu could barely control his trembling arms, took off his sword from the horse, and commanded Ruoding despite his grief: "The archers stayed on the wall, and the others retreated to the city; let General Gao go."
Prepare a catapult, and while you are close, try to hit the middle and rear parts - the opponent's main combat power is in the front, and you only need to force them to return to defend the middle part to break the siege in front of you."
The soldiers who were still in anger did not expect that Bai Jingfu could be so calm. He tried to speak but forgot to take action several times. After being scolded severely by Bai Jingfu, he staggered away and ran away to carry out the military orders. Other soldiers on the city wall were also dulled by Bai Jingfu.
He woke up with a shout, wiped away his tears one by one, suppressed his anger, and returned to his rightful place to perform his duties. Only three or five people were left to carry Bai Haocheng's corpse carefully.
The white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift. His most proud son passed away in the blink of an eye, which made Bai Jingfu devastated. After giving the order, he stood still as before, until he heard messy and rapid footsteps behind him.
Bai Jingfu didn't look back, and he could tell who the person was from the trembling breathing.
"Qi Ge, go see your second brother for the last time." His fingertips trembled slightly, and the burly old general bowed, and then he could no longer straighten up.
The last moment... When Bai Qige was told that the nightmare had come true, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. Her hurried steps became slow and heavy, but her heavy breathing became lighter. It was like the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and there was darkness everywhere. Bai Jingfu didn't want to let this happen.
Seeing her sad expression, her daughter couldn't help turning around in the end. When she saw Bai Qige with messy black hair, her heart ached again.
Bai Qige's right hand kept dripping with blood, and it flowed all the way. The hideous wounds were vaguely visible, and the flesh and blood were turned out. They were scratches she made when she used the fragments of a porcelain bowl to pry the iron nails on the window in order to break out of the prison. They were large and small.
It was small, dozens of deep and shallow injuries, and she didn’t know which one of them was so deeply injured that the blood flowed profusely, but it couldn’t stop her from running wildly.
As a result, it was still too late.
The moment she passed by Bai Jingfu, Bai Qige's eyes didn't move at all, her eyes like dead water kept looking at the battlements. She didn't even know how many times she fell when she walked in front of Bai Haocheng, so that her skirt was stained with large blood stains, and her palms were stained with blood.
It is also blurred with mud and blood.
He wasn't dead, how could he be? He just fell asleep. He was too tired, so he fell asleep.
He leaned down and gently stroked Bai Haocheng's face. He couldn't feel the slightest warmth on his fingertips. Perhaps his expression was too calm and soft, which gave Bai Qige false illusions. Until Yu Che cried heartbreakingly and passed out, Bai Qige still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Everything is fact.
He said that he would protect her, and he also said that he would take her away from all right and wrong. Why, why did the person who gave her the greatest encouragement to live bravely chose the road of death?
If it weren't for her, if it weren't for her, none of the tragedies would have happened.
A tear rolled down the drooping face and flew directly to the ground without passing through the cheek, breaking into pieces of scars.
"Qi Ge, stand up, what did I teach you when you were a child? Don't cry to the enemy!" Bai Jingfu, who had tried his best to keep calm from beginning to end, suddenly became furious. His red face and lips trembled. He raised his arm and forcibly pulled Bai Qige from Bai Haocheng's body.
While pulling up, I stumbled and almost fell.
Enemy, who is the enemy? The 40,000-strong army of Yao Kingdom? Yi Chenxuan? Yao Huang? Or Yi Chenjing?
Bai Qige's mind was still not fully awake, and she stared blankly at a pool of crimson blood. After an unknown amount of time, a drizzle began to fall under the sun, hitting her skin with a slight chill, and then she slowly regained consciousness.
The gentle and infatuated brother will never come back.
The beautiful jade sword lay alone on the ground without anyone paying attention. When it was picked up by the bloodless palm, it made a faint clang. The sticky blood on the sword was washed away by the rain, but after a moment, it showed its sharpness.
The light is dazzling.
What is even more dazzling is the thin figure on the city wall, standing proudly with a sword, his sorrow cannot conceal his splendor.
Lu Kai could see clearly below the city, he took a breath of cold air, and a chill ran down his spine. Bai Qige's war concubine's name was well known to everyone in the distant army. Her bravery and ingenuity during the Northern Expedition had become part of the legend of the distant army. Seeing that cold figure stood up.
At the top of the city, the veteran of the distant army who had never believed in rumors actually felt a little bit fearful.
"Bai Qige, you colluded with your tribe to escape from the prison and then rebelled with your troops. Do you know your crime?" Lu Kai swallowed hard and deliberately raised his voice to embolden himself, "Bai Haocheng committed suicide out of fear of crime. Only Mr. Bai is left in your Bai family.
The general supports you alone. Do you want the last bit of the Bai family's face to be smeared? Do you want to see tens of thousands of people in Liang Shicheng buried with you? If you don't want to be a sinner who brings disaster to the country and the people, then leave the city and surrender immediately. For the sake of your former concubine.
, the emperor will definitely show mercy to you and leave you with a complete body!"
"Kill yourself out of fear of crime? You surnamed Lu are farting!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! If you want to fight, then fight! It is Sun Tzu who is afraid of death!"
"Even if I die in battle, I will not bow to you sons of bitches! You forced General Bai to death, and I will take revenge sooner or later!"
Lu Kai's words were full of belittling and threatening, which immediately aroused the anger of the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom after their grief. You and I cursed the distant army who were in constant turmoil. Only Bai Qige remained silent, her eyes faintly drifting towards the soldiers in the formation.
A weak figure.
Yi Chenjing used her last strength to break free from the restraints, staggered and barely managed to stand upright, looking back expectantly but desperately.
He couldn't see her eyes and expression clearly, and he didn't want to, because he knew each other too well, so he knew that the relationship that could be summarized simply by killing his brother had become extremely complicated. She must have understood how to deceive Bai Haocheng.
And he was not the culprit who forced him to death. As he knew clearly in his heart, Bai Qige would not pour out her resentment on him. However, this would only make the two of them further apart - family and loved ones, no matter which one.
Being cruelly deprived will make her lose the most important part of her life, and he is the prince of Yaoguo, the son of Emperor Yao, and the future king of Yaoguo who attacked Zhaoguo and forced Baihao City to death. This hatred, willing or not,
He has to bear it.
Struggle to the death, but in the end, there is still no fate.
Things have evolved to this point and can no longer be resolved by infatuation. Even if they love her dearly, he and she cannot go back to the past due to the war between the two countries and the tragic death of their loved ones.
Bai Qige's gaze did not last too long. Her eyes were full of tears and she could not see Yi Chenjing's face clearly. Her heart was so hopeless that she could not find any hope. It would be better not to look at it and just pretend that he was not there and that he had never appeared in her life.
among.
Only in this way can she put on her ruthless armor and put an end to this conspiracy and fate.
"Everyone in the army listens to the order." The sword belonging to Bai Haocheng was raised high, and the tip of the sword pointed straight at the sky. Bai Qige was tired and tired, her voice was not loud, but her tone was as cold and firm as iron: "I want to live a stable life.
As time goes by, I will remove my armor and abandon my sword, and I will find a way to allow you and the people to leave safely; those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for this land, take up arms and defend the capital with me, and swear to live and die with the Zhao Kingdom!"
If the country's generals no longer exist, how can their family be safe? On the verge of danger, facing an almost certain death path, not one of the six thousand soldiers left in Liang Shi City flinched.
There was silence for a moment, and then, uniform shouts shook the sky.
"I swear to live and die with the Kingdom of Zhao! I swear to live and die with the Kingdom of Zhao!"
Such loud slogans startled the birds in the sky and made the waves of Zehu Lake roll. In an instant, the Zhongzhou Continent was turbulent. Even the 40,000 soldiers of the Yao Kingdom who claimed to be loyal were also shocked. The people in Liang Shi City walked out of their homes and looked at the city.
When they saw the corpse being held high by the crowd, they probably understood what had happened. Their panic was annihilated by sadness, and they bowed their heads respectfully in silence.
The death of one person brings resurrection to the hearts of a city.
Bai Jingfu did not intervene. He looked at his daughter, who succeeded Bai Haocheng and became the spiritual leader of the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom, slightly chin. It seemed that through the same bright eyes, he could see that his son was still alive. Who wins and who loses on this battlefield, who is the righteous party?
He is also an unjust party, which has lost its meaning to Bai Jingfu. Now he only has one wish.
I hope that the whole family will be safe and sound, and no matter who it is, don’t lose it again.
The passionate slogans were still echoing in the sky. Almost at the same time, Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing both fainted and fell to the ground. The busy and panicked people did not notice that the last thing they looked at was in the direction of each other.
