The soldiers at the Chaoyang Palace Gate were wearing helmets and armor and were arranged neatly in a dark atmosphere.
Xuanyuan Chengtian reined in his horse and stood up: "My fellow soldiers, today is the time for you to quell the rebellion and leave your name in history!" He raised his arms and shouted: "Quiet the rebellion and restore a harmonious morning."
The blood of the soldiers seemed to be ignited and boiling as Xuanyuan Chengtian raised his arms. They raised their guns and shouted: "Suppress the rebellion and give me a harmonious morning! Put down the rebellion and give me a harmonious morning."
The impassioned scene made even Qingcheng, who had just arrived on horseback, unable to help but feel passionate and excited.
****
Following Xuanyuan Chengtian, Qingcheng was astonished by the sights he encountered. The previously bustling imperial capital was now dead silent. The houses along the way were closed, except for injured soldiers being carried back from time to time on the streets.
There are no more idle people waiting.
Getting closer and closer to the south of the city, the sound of fighting could be heard all the time.
In the smoke and flames of war, Qingcheng followed Xuanyuan Chengtian on the city tower. Looking down from the arrow stack, it was almost noon and people were moving around the city. Jingren was dressed in black and was sitting on a tall horse in an orderly manner.
to command his soldiers.
Some were wearing armor and fighting hard, while others were running rampant and full of passion, but soon died at the hands of the enemy.
Blood, mutilated limbs, dislocated heads, etc., these things make Qingcheng, who has never experienced war, feel frightened and sad for those who have suffered so much. Only then can he realize how precious life is here.
brittle and invulnerable.
"Jingblade, what are you doing?"
"Shocking Blade!" Qingcheng controlled half of his body from the arrow stack and shouted towards the Shocking Blade that looked like a God of War, but amid the noisy shouts of killing, there was no echo.
A flying arrow came quickly with a scream, and when Qingcheng woke up, it was already approaching.
"When" there was a metal collision, and the arrow feathers that came in a hurry were knocked away.
His body was dragged behind him, and it was Xuanyuan Chengtian who looked angry: "You don't want your life?"
Before Qingcheng had time to speak, he pushed Qingcheng towards the general standing next to him: "Protect her well! I will go out of the city to capture the traitor alive with my own hands."
Qingcheng had no time to respond, Xuanyuan Chengtian rode off the tower, leaving only a bright yellow shadow.
"Please stay here quietly! Once you get out of here, I will not protect my wife's life!" The general beside him said stiffly and sarcastically, looking at the people fighting in the city eager to fight. However, the emperor has ordered to protect this fragile and weak person who is causing harm to the country and the people.
The royal concubine.
"Give this to me." Qingcheng said, and while the general was laughing at her, she accidentally snatched the sword from his hand.
The palm sank, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.
The leader was startled, then looked at Qingcheng with disdain, bent down and picked it up lightly: "If a bitch can even lift this big sword, then all my years of wandering around will be in vain!"
"I wonder why your Majesty insists on coming here? Do you think war is just a sideshow?" He stood up straight and looked at Qingcheng mockingly.
The city gate creaked open under the city tower. There was a moat outside the imperial capital, and a suspension bridge connected everything from the city to the outside. At this time, the suspension bridge creaked and was lowered.
Qingcheng was so anxious that he didn't care what the general was doing. He turned around and ran down, and conveniently pulled a spear from a soldier's hand.
"Empress, what do you want to do?" Qingcheng's move was unexpected by the sarcastic general behind him. When he panicked and chased after him, Qingcheng had already galloped away from the open city gate.
go out.
With the spear in her hand, which was somewhat heavy, Qingcheng spurred her horse to quickly move towards Xuanyuan Chengtian. Arrows flew past her ears from time to time, but she narrowly avoided them all.
Perhaps Jingren saw Xuanyuan Chengtian going to battle and ordered the soldiers who were attacking the city to retreat. The rebel army stopped fighting and gradually moved closer to him.
Opposing him was Xuanyuan Chengtian, who was wearing purple and gold armor and had an angry look on his face: "Ji Jingren, as an important official of the imperial court, you intend to rebel. It has really brought shame to the ancestors of the Ji family, and the old general Ji under Jiuquan has no face to go."
See the late emperor."
"Intent to rebel? Jingren is actually not interested in that superior power. It's just that the current emperor is unable to govern the country and makes the people miserable! It is even more unethical. Even the wife of a minister can be his own. If he does not avenge this revenge, Jingren is really in vain.
As a husband." Jingren sat on the tall horse, as if he was dismissive of Xuanyuan Chengtian's accusations: "Jingren had no choice but to take his place! Save the people from the fire and water!"
Jingren said as he rode forward with a sword in hand. Xuanyuan Chengtian also snorted and rushed forward. He actually used a spear, which Qingcheng had never seen before. The soldiers on both sides stood on both sides and paused in their hands.
Weapon, kept shouting to help.
"Your Majesty, you can't get close there." The general who was chasing her and responsible for protecting her shouted in annoyance. This woman was as slippery as a loach, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Chengtian, Jingblade!" Qingcheng was anxious, slapped the horse's butt hard and spurred the horse forward. He shouted loudly and pushed through the cheering soldiers, rushing towards the two men who were fighting together.
Qingcheng's cry seemed to be heard in his ears. Jingren's body paused, and the sword slashing towards Xuanyuan Chengtian couldn't help but slow down a bit. Xuanyuan Chengtian secretly shouted in his heart, "Oh no, how could Qingcheng be in danger here?"
Place!" The spear in his hand blocked the sword slashed by Jingli, and he looked back anxiously behind him.
With such a big flaw exposed, Jingren felt happy, took back the sword in his hand and swung it again, with the target being Xuanyuan Chengtian's neck.
"Jingren, no!" Following the shrill cry, Qingcheng and his men rushed towards him.
The figure that suddenly appeared in front of him was so startling that Jingren quickly pulled back his sword. However, the sword was already strong and it was difficult to stop. As he flew away, Jingren brushed past Qingcheng and tilted upward.
"Qingcheng!"
"Qingcheng!"
"ah!"
They came from two different people, but they were equally heartbreaking and frightening.
Qingcheng screamed and fell off his horse, lying on the ground. His heavy helmet rolled to the side, and the cut black silk flew in the air like catkins, slowly falling to the ground.
"when"
"when"
There were two more sounds of the same sound. The sword in Jingren's hand and the spear held tightly by Xuanyuan Chengtian both fell to the ground. They dismounted in panic and ran straight towards the same target - Qingcheng, who had not yet risen from the ground.
There is only one question in my mind: Is she dead?
The battlefield, which had been filled with shouts of killing and fighting just now, was now silent. The soldiers on both sides looked at everything that happened suddenly in surprise, and they were confused.
"Qingcheng!" Jingren threw away his sword and dismounted first. He picked up Qingcheng on the ground in panic and shouted desperately: "Are you okay? Don't scare me!"
"Let go of my beloved concubine." Xuanyuan Chengtian scolded angrily and went to pull Qingcheng from Jingblade's arms. He suddenly felt at a loss in his heart: What if something really happened to Qingcheng? What should he do? He felt regretful again.
Because of his momentary softness, he shouldn't have let her come to such a dangerous place in the first place.
"Don't touch her. If something happens to Qingcheng, I can't spare you!" Jingren held Qingcheng's head and looked at it carefully.
His brain was so mushy that it became cloudy, and his vision was a little blurry, with the gradually clear shadow of Jing Blade: "Jing Blade!"
"Yeah!" Jingren responded, then tightened his arms and held Qingcheng in his arms: "It's great that you're okay!"
Jingren felt his neck being pressed by a cold object, and Xuanyuan Chengtian's angry voice sounded in his ear: "Qingcheng is my beloved concubine, and I won't tolerate you being frivolous."
Qingcheng broke away from Kai Jingren's arms and raised his head to meet Xuanyuan Chengtian's eyes. He was looking at him worriedly.
"Stop arguing!" An unreasonable burst of anger arose from his heart. Qingcheng stood up. He was just frightened and fell off the horse, so he was not seriously injured.
She pulled down the spear pointed at Jingren in Xuanyuan Chengtian's hand, pushed away the two men, and stood in the middle. She had business to deal with now. Regardless of Xuanyuan Chengtian's piercing gaze, she turned to look at Jingren: "Jingren, Jingren,
Are you really peeking into Tianchen's country with the intention of treason?"
"Qingcheng." Jingren was startled, as if he was hurt by her words, and his lowered eyes were filled with mist: "I want all the people in the world to be at your feet, not to let them be monsters.
Such a curse!" Jingren said, turning his head to look at Xuanyuan Chengtian, with sarcasm in his eyes.
Qingcheng felt a convulsive pain in her heart. She didn't expect that Jingblade's rebellion was actually for her! Indirectly or directly, she was directly responsible for causing this bloody rebellion. Her eyes were sour, and a large amount of liquid poured into her eye sockets, which made her
I couldn't even say any words of blame. In the end I just choked out: "Why are you so stupid!" I couldn't say any more!
Regarding Jingren's words, Xuanyuan Chengtian felt a little guilty in his heart. It was indeed as he said: He wanted to give Qingcheng Zhouquan, but
He always made her fall into misunderstanding and hatred again and again, even though he tried his best to give her the whole world!
"Qingcheng!" Xuanyuan Chengtian went to pull Qingcheng who was watching Jingren and standing very close to him, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
As Qingcheng distanced herself from Jingren, she stopped and looked back at Jingren and asked softly: "Jingren, can you stop killing Lu? Don't hurt so many innocent people anymore, don't let so many people suffer again."
What innocent soldiers died!"
"Qingcheng is still so kind!" There was a trace of pity in Jingren's eyes that were like melting ice, and he answered the question as if he was asking questions: "That will make Qingcheng happy, right?"
"Yes!" He nodded solemnly, which was undeniable.
"That's fine, as long as Qingcheng is happy!" Jingren still said softly, raising his hand to touch her face, with tangled pain and reluctance in his eyes, as well as endless obsession and love.
The moment Jingren's hand touched Qingcheng's face, she turned around as if remembering: "Chengtian, can you let Jingren go this time? He didn't peek at you at all..."
"I know!" Before Qingcheng could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Xuanyuan Chengtian, who pulled Qingcheng to him displeasedly: "General Ruji really has no intention of rebellion, and I will definitely give him a lighter sentence.
"Qingcheng!" Jingren walked towards Qingcheng as if he had heard this, with a trace of sadness in his eyes. He ignored the anger in Xuanyuan Chengtian's eyes, raised his hand to support her, and asked softly: "Can you give me a hug?
You?"
Qingcheng didn't know why Jingren made such a request, and was stunned. He just called out: "Jingren!" and his body was hugged by him forcefully.
"Just let me hug you!" Jingren whispered in his ears.
Xuanyuan Chengtian was extremely angry. Just as he was about to scold and pull away from Qingcheng, he was stunned by the eyes that glanced at Jingren! It was a kind of despair-like obsession, parting-like nostalgia and reluctance! Lifted up
He lowered his hand slowly and couldn't help but turn his head away.
Qingcheng was surprised that Xuanyuan Chengtian didn't pull away from her with a scolding. The feeling that Jingblade gave her was very strange, the pain in her heart was like life and death! She let him hold her like this when she originally wanted to refuse.
Jingren's broken words are still ringing in his ears: "Qingcheng, I was obviously the first to meet you, why are there so many people trying to fight against me?"
"Qingcheng, if there is another life, please don't let me meet you again! If you do, can you fall in love with me first! Let me tolerate everything about you, no matter good or bad!"
Qingcheng didn't know why Jingren suddenly said this to her. He was so sad and depressed that he couldn't speak. He just felt that he was holding her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body and never let go.
Same.
"Qingcheng, if we are destined to be separated in the next life, then please make an agreement with me that we will continue to love each other in the next life!" Jingren said, with a suppressed groan coming from his mouth!
Jingren's hand on Qingcheng's shoulder was trembling slightly. Qingcheng struggled for a moment before being pushed into his arms: "Don't move, Qingcheng, let me hold you for a while. It'll be fine in a while!"
"Qingcheng, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you just now!"
Jingren's words became softer and softer, and the hand holding her in his arms became looser and looser!
"Qingcheng, remember, no matter whether there is a next life or not, you must be happy!" Jingren's voice became softer and softer! He sounded like a breath, and his whole body leaned on Qingcheng's body, making him
She was overwhelmed.
Qingcheng felt something strange and struggled to push him away, but this time he didn't stop him and fell straight backwards like a piece of wood.
There was a small dagger stuck in Jingren's heart, and it was submerged into the handle. Blood flowed out slowly along it. On the black clothes on his chest, flowers darker and weirder than the night bloomed, spreading and crawling to the side.
diffusion.
On the brown earth, where he had just stood holding her, there were dots of blood and tears sprinkled lightly. His clothes were bright red. Just a moment ago, they were still boiling in his blood vessels. Now they are soaked through the clothes, and they are changing little by little.
Cool, turn cold.
"Shocking Blade!" Qingcheng screamed and rushed forward, trying hard to lift him up. Tears seemed to have burst the embankment and could not stop flowing out of his eyes.
"General!" The soldiers who had followed him for many years shouted in horror as they tried to come over but were blocked by the general.
"Shocking Blade!" Xuanyuan Chengtian also came over.
He opened his slightly distracted eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Chengtian: "Your Majesty, please let go of the soldiers under my command. They are all the people of Tianchen!"
"Yes! I promise you! I will never embarrass them!"
"Qingcheng." Jingren smiled weakly, his eyes starting to wander.
"Yeah! I'm here!" The hand that held up the Jingblade rubbed it gently with trembling hands. She was afraid that it would become cold the next moment. She was afraid!
"Qingqing, help me take care of her, she is a good girl! But I failed her!"
"Um!"
"Qingcheng, if there is an afterlife,,,," Jingren looked at Qingcheng and tried his best to open his eyes.
"If there is an afterlife, let's make a promise to each other first! We are not allowed to love others in the next life!" Qingcheng said with tears streaming down his face!
"Yeah!" Jingren smiled, his eyes slowly closed and never opened again.
