Chapter Fifty-Three: The Last Struggle Leaves Sadness
The sound of wind, the sound of weapons being handed over, the shouts of people, and the crackling sound of burning torches echoed on the official road beside the cliff.
"Ling'er... you must not fall asleep... ah..." Before he could finish his words, an arrow shot out of the wind and shot into the back of the speaker. He frowned and muffled.
With a grunt, biting pain spread throughout the body, but the hand that hugged the waist of the person in his arms never let go. How difficult it is to fight an enemy with one hand!
The dim light of the torch reflected on the pair of beautiful people on the edge of the cliff, which was so desolate. The strong wind blew their tangled hair and clothes, adding a thin and elegant atmosphere. The air was filled with the smell of blood. Here
At that time, they had no way to retreat. In front of them were tens of thousands of soldiers pressing down on the formation, and behind them was a bottomless abyss. They were in a dilemma.
Looking at the unconscious beauty, Bingyuanfeng felt that he was so useless. He couldn't even protect such a delicate person, and even swore to himself not to let her get hurt...
The pain in her back, shoulders, and arms were nothing compared to the pain in her heart. I suddenly felt so conceited and incompetent. I thought that as long as I protected her with all my strength, she would be able to live safely and happily under his wings.
. I thought that as long as he gave in step by step, Leng Dizhong would one day understand that he was not his enemy. But I was wrong. Not only could he not protect her, he also led her into a deeper quagmire, making her famous and inconsistent.
Emperor Bao Leng was even more cruel and ruthless than he imagined. Even if he hated himself, she was his queen after all! How could she be exterminated like this?
Could it be that he and she were going to die here today? Looking at her closed beautiful eyes and smelling the subtle fragrance on her body, he wanted to remember all the beautiful things about her in his heart.
The blood flowed down his arm and onto her purple cloak, making the color darker.
"Bing Yuan Peak! Hurry up and capture them! You have no way to retreat!" Wei Zhong, who was beside Leng Di, pointed at Bing Yuan Peak with his sword. The former subordinates of Bing Yuan Peak behind him all showed unbearable expressions.
That's their general! That's the general who has been with them through life and death, sharing joys and sorrows! That's the general who has never lost when he goes to battle to kill the enemy! Today, they are going to force him to a dead end... This makes
Why are they so embarrassed?!
Don't turn your head and look at the pair of men on the edge of the cliff. Looking behind you, the soldiers have their heads lowered, with unbearable expressions on their faces. After all, they were soldiers he led, how could they bear to see him die?!
Emperor Leng saw clearly the intolerance of all the soldiers. It was time for him to show his magnanimity. He adjusted his demeanor and pretended to be unbearable and loudly said to the unyielding Bingyuan Peak on the opposite side: "General Bing, don't try to escape anymore, you
There is no way out, so you should come back and hand the queen over to me. I remember your past military exploits, so even if you do such unethical things, I will spare you."
This sentence was meant to persuade Bingyuan Peak, but in fact it reminded everyone that he was arrested just now because he had an affair with the queen. As expected, when everyone heard this, they all looked at Emperor Leng with emotion, feeling that this emperor
It's really not an ordinary magnanimity. When his queen was bullied, he could still think of his past merits and spare some mercy.
Ignoring the cold emperor across from him, he glanced at the beauty in his arms, gently stroked her eyebrows, and said softly: "Ling'er, don't fall asleep. The third brother wants to take one last look at your unwavering but alluring beautiful eyes."
...The first time I saw your calm and vigilant look in the palace, and the inquiring look in your beautiful eyes, it made me feel so distressed...because before, Ling'er's beautiful eyes only contained innocence.
And smile. It is because of my heartache that I will never forget you..."
The intermittent words, like the warm spring breeze, reached Mengran's ears. His hair was blown by the wind and swept her forehead. Resisting sleepiness, she finally opened her eyes and looked at him with a gentle face.
Mengran said softly, "Third brother... have we escaped?" Mengran, who had not fully recovered her consciousness, saw the charming smile on her third brother's face and thought that we had escaped.
"Third brother is useless, he failed to bring Ling'er out of danger..." Tears fell quietly. He just felt guilty. He must have let her down!
"Bingyuan Peak! How dare you ignore the Emperor when he talks to you! How dare you!" Looking at the forbearance on Emperor Leng's face, Wei Zhong knew that he was suppressing his anger, so he said knowingly. Seeing that the Emperor did not stop him, he moved
As soon as he raised his head, he said to the guard Lin Jun behind him: "Fire the arrow!"
Upon seeing this, Bingyuan Peak protected Ling'er behind him and waved the sword in his hand with all his strength to resist the rain of arrows. Meng Ran behind him vaguely saw the bow and arrow on his back, and tentatively touched the arrows that followed him.
The liquid that was constantly flowing out from the swing of his body touched the tip of his nose. It was blood! It was really blood! She woke up immediately. It turned out that they were still in the clutches of Emperor Leng. And the third brother was fighting hard against the enemy! He had also suffered
Injured! This time is no better than fighting an ambush before. The situation in front of us now is more severe and dangerous. No matter how good the third brother's martial arts is, he can't defeat this tens of thousands of troops!
"Ah..." An arrow penetrated Bingyuanfeng's chest like a shuttle. He groaned, but still did not stop swinging, because if he stopped, he would become the target. Ling'er was determined
He would be afraid and couldn't let Ling'er see his miserable appearance, so no matter how tired or painful he was, he would continue to wave.
"No!" Seeing him hit by an arrow, Meng Ran felt heartbroken and cried out with all her strength.
My heart is bleeding. The most painful thing in the world is watching the one you love slowly approaching death, but you are powerless to do anything!
Tears surged down like floods from a broken dam. The arrow clearly hit him, but it made her miserable...
"Stop!" Emperor Leng raised one hand to stop the imperial guards from shooting arrows. He was worried about her. Although the arrow was shot at Bingyuan Peak, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidental damage. He didn't want anything to happen to her. She was grieving.
A cry shook his heart. Will she never forgive herself for hurting her third brother?
The imperial guards received the order, stopped shooting arrows, and retreated respectfully. All the soldiers felt their hearts drop in their throats.
The stubborn and unyielding burly figure opposite finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed. Mengran wanted to hug her, but she was too weak and was pressed down by his fallen body.
