The city wall was so high, the sky was so dark, and my sight was blocked by the rain, I couldn't see his face clearly, just like I couldn't see him clearly when he was sitting on the dragon chair.
The emperor wore a royal crown, and the jade beads hanging from the crown always covered the emperor's face.
Only in Panlong Palace, when he took off his crown, could I clearly see the expression on his face.
Xia Yan... I was about to call out his name, but I swallowed it stubbornly.
Closing my eyes to block his gaze, I calmly ordered: "Liuchi, get a rope."
"Um."
In less than half a moment, Liuchi handed me a strongly woven straw rope. The place was extremely quiet, even the wind was cautious, for fear of disturbing something.
I tied the straw rope to Xiahou Liancheng's armpits and tested the strength. After I felt that it could support Xiahou Liancheng's body, I fell to the ground and thought about what else I had not done.
Oh, remember, Xiahou Liancheng pays great attention to his appearance.
I stretched out my hand, caught some rainwater, smoothed Xiahou Liancheng's slightly messy hair, and then wiped away the blood that splashed on his face.
After taking care of these details, I stood up with Liu Chi's support and bowed deeply to Xiahou Liancheng.
Xiahou Liancheng, you have a good journey.
The soldiers in Wancheng performed the highest military etiquette - taking off their helmets, leveling them with their chests, and lowering their noble heads to the heroes below.
Soldiers will only kneel to the emperor, but never bow their heads.
Liu Chi used the arrow in his sleeve to shoot the other end of the straw rope onto the Wancheng city tower. Di Qing held the end firmly. Liu Chi and I moved Xiahou Liancheng's body to the base of the wall, so as to prevent Xiahou Liancheng's body from being buried in the wall.
Drag on the ground.
The soldiers above came up to help, but Di Qing drank him back.
"I'm going to pull him up myself!" Di Qing bit the root and said word by word.
In this way, Xiahou Liancheng was pulled up bit by bit by Di Qing. Xiahou Liancheng's body gradually lifted off the ground, and his arms were stretched open by the straw rope, as if he was hugging something.
He rose slowly against the only remaining light between heaven and earth, with his lowered head like a kind-browed Bodhisattva, looking down at us below.
At that moment, I couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
Amid my cries, Xiahou Liancheng's body was carried back in a hurry, but Xia Yan, who had been standing on the city wall overlooking the city, never moved. I knew he was looking at me.
But I couldn't look at him anymore, I was afraid that I would see a pair of passionate eyes that would suck away the remaining ambition in me.
Until now, I still have such confidence, Xia Yan loves me!
And what about me? Can I love him? Do I still dare?
At this time, a soft ladder suddenly hung down from the city wall, and Xiaoqiu on top shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, come up quickly."
Following the soft ladder that was swinging gently in the wind, my eyes couldn't help but move to the top of the ladder, where there were several pairs of eager eyes waiting for me.
As long as I grab this ladder, I can return to Xia Kingdom, to that warm and stable harbor. After all these things, Xia Yan is probably tired enough, and I am afraid that he is too lazy to care about the past.
It's a good thing, everything can start from the beginning, as long as I grab this ladder.
But I didn't.
"Let's go!" I said to Liuchi.
Liu Chi replied calmly: "Okay!"
Just when I flew off the ground and reached above their heads, I heard two shouts.
One was from Yan Xitong, and the other... seemed to be from Xia Yan, although he shouted so softly.
ps: Because there is a long review, I will add an update.
