Yao'er was suddenly frightened. Just as he was about to call out to the Hundred Cavalry Guards outside, they were already shouting loudly -
"Be careful, there is an ambush!"
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect the general!"
Almost out of conditioned reflex, Yao'er pounced on Qin Mubai's body.
In the night sky, arrows and stones shattered the void like locusts, whizzing towards the carriage!
"ah!-"
"Eh!—"
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
Steel arrows killed people, and the men and horses screamed!
When he heard the first shout, Qin Mubai had already woken up. He was about to jump up in shock, but found that he couldn't get up.
Yao'er immediately turned over and threw herself on Qin Mubai, suppressing him tightly!
Qin Mubai didn't expect that someone as thin as a demon could have such great strength!
"puff!"
A mouthful of thick blood spurted onto Qin Mubai's face.
"Third brother..." Yao'er's face, so close, was twisted in pain, and his gray pupils were filled with tears.
"Yao'er!!!" Qin Mubai yelled hysterically. He hugged her tightly with both hands and was about to turn her around to cover her. When he reached out, he felt a wet patch on her back that was trembling violently. .
Several feather arrows were stuck on her back, almost without handles!
"Protect the General!—ah!!"
There were also bursts of roars and screams coming from outside the car, and the sound of arrows hitting the flesh and car body, one after another, was like frantic ice chips.
The driver's handlebars had been shot to death, and the horse almost turned into a hedgehog, screaming and falling to the ground, dragging the carriage almost over. Three of the five guards gathered around the carriage and used themselves as shields. Each of them was hit by at least a dozen arrows. The other two people looked for the arrows from the two alley walls and fought back. The hand flew off and the knife fell, screams began, and several archers hiding on the wall were killed.
In the carriage, Qin Mubai's eyes widened and his expression became stiff.
Yao'er held Qin Mubai tightly, blood gushing out from her mouth. She wanted to speak, but couldn't.
"Don't talk, don't talk. Third brother will take you to the doctor right away!!" Qin Mubai's face was completely white, and was dyed with a layer of snow sprayed from Yao'er's mouth, making it look particularly ferocious.
"Third brother, don't move..." Yao'er almost used all the strength in his life to press Qin Mubai to prevent him from moving, almost pleading, "Don't move, don't move..."
"Yao'er!..." Qin Mubai's body tensed up and his eyes closed tightly, tears streaming down his face!
"Third brother, I'm so happy. I finally did something useful for you..." Yao'er stopped spitting blood from his mouth, pressed on Qin Mubai's body, pressed her face against his, and kept talking intermittently. He said, "Don't move, please help me, okay? I don't want you to be hurt at all."
"Yao'er!!!"
Qin Mubai was so overwhelmed that he cried heartbrokenly!
"General... General, are you okay?" From outside the carriage, the painful sounds of the 100-horse guards gritting their teeth were heard intermittently, obviously they were trying to take a breath before dying.
"It's okay!!" Qin Mubai yelled, "Get out of here right now!"
Outside the car, the sound of fighting was loud. It seemed that a large group of people had arrived. It must have been the guards patrolling the city of Chang'an.
"Third brother, did you hear that, in order to protect you, your guards shielded the carriage from arrows... Don't move, don't go out, otherwise, they will have sacrificed for you in vain..." Yao'er has already begun to twitch. , puddles of foul-smelling blood spurted out from her mouth.
"The arrows are still poisonous! Shameless villain!! Dog|son of a beast!!! I...!"
Qin Mubai lost his composure like never before and burst into tears, bursting into tears.
"Third, third brother, my third brother... Yao'er is so sorry that I can't stay with you anymore." Yao'er stretched out and tightly held Qin Mubai's bloody hands, touched his face, and said intermittently He murmured: "Third brother, you are so handsome. You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen!"
"Yao'er, did you see it?" Qin Mubai shouted in shock and hurt.
"Yes, yes... I don't know why, but I can actually see it. I can see the appearance of the third brother. I don't have any regrets anymore!" Yao'er is smiling, and there is something in her gray eyes that she has never seen before. With a bright look on his face, he stared at Qin Mubai intently, with tears streaming down his face, and said, "God has been so kind to me. He allowed me to die for my favorite third brother, and allowed me to die in his arms." What makes me even more satisfied is that my eyes, which have been blind for more than ten years, suddenly regained my sight. Although it was only for a short moment, I was able to see my third brother... Poof!
A pool of thick blood spurted out again. Yao'er twitched all over and lay helplessly on Qin Mubai's body, her body starting to get cold.
"Yao'er! Stop talking. Third brother, third brother will take you to see the doctor right away!"
Qin Mubai screamed repeatedly, but he didn't care anymore. He stood up and picked up Yao'er, kicked the carriage's compartment open, and started running like crazy.
"Protect the consort!!" A group of soldiers who had just arrived roared loudly and formed a shield array to block Qin Mubai.
"Get out of the way—and save my Hundred Cavalry Guards!"
Qin Mubai was like a crazy beast, kicking those people away without any reason at all, seizing a path and running towards the Xishi Pharmacy.
The soldiers were frightened and did not dare to block any more, so they divided into three groups. One group followed Qin Mubai closely to protect him along the way, another group went to rescue the injured Baiqi guards who fell to the ground, and another group of people and soldiers The killers on the wall were off fighting.
In the alley of Lifang, there were shouts of killing, which frightened the people living nearby. Thousands of houses turned on their lights and trembled with fear.
"Third brother... it's so cold! Why is it so dark, and I can't see your face..." Yao'er huddled in Qin Mubai's arms, twitching and trembling while muttering vaguely.
"Don't be afraid Yao'er, Third Brother is here! Third Brother hugs you so that you won't feel cold anymore!" Qin Mubai pulled off his cloak and wrapped her around her, but he couldn't catch the blood that was constantly flowing down.
There were still sparse cold arrows shooting down from the top of the wall. The soldiers did not dare to slack off even if they were faced with a powerful enemy. They raised their shields to protect Qin Mubai.
The situation was a bit critical. One of the soldiers shouted in desperation: "General, she is already dead. Don't risk yourself for the dead! Be careful to hide...ah!!"
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked away by Qin Mubai!
"Asshole! Who said she's dead?!"
The soldier did not complain even after receiving this kick, and hurriedly got up and said: "General, forgive me, I was so flustered that I lost my mind... But if the general makes any mistakes, how can she feel at ease?"
"Yes, third brother... don't be... impulsive! Hide, hide..." Yao'er stretched out his arms and hugged Qin Mubai's neck tightly, pulling him down to prevent him from running away.
The strength of the dying man was so great that Qin Mubai couldn't resist it. His neck was so painful that he almost broke it. Coupled with the efforts of several soldiers nearby to drag and press him, he was finally pinned down. On the ground, there were shields all around his body, like a small steel house.
"Third brother, I know I'm going to die soon. Don't do stupid things, otherwise I will die with my eyes open..." Yao'er lay in Qin Mubai's arms, still holding his neck and refusing to let go. He muttered vaguely in his ear, "Third brother, can you agree to Yao'er's last request?"
"Say, you say, I will definitely agree!!!"
"In Yao'er's life, his parents died young and his family was ruined. If he hadn't met the third brother, he would have been reduced to a life of poverty. It was the third brother who gave me a new life. In Yao'er's heart, the third brother is like a father and a brother. He is a god and a god. Xian is also my favorite person..." Yao'er said intermittently, "Please forgive Yao'er for overestimating his own capabilities. I know that I am not qualified to love you, but I can't control myself... I'm sorry, third brother, can you Do you forgive Yao'er?"
"Ah -" Qin Mubai looked up to the sky and screamed, tears streaming down his face.
"Third brother... you... won't forgive Yao'er?"
"I never blamed you, how can I forgive you? Yao'er, third brother also likes you and loves you!"
"Really, really?" Yao'er stretched out his hands to touch Qin Mubai's face, and a happy smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
"Well..." Qin Mubai nodded.
His tears fell on Yao'er's face, mingled with the blood and tears on her face, followed the outline of her cheeks, and fell into her mouth.
"So sweet, Third Brother... These are the sweetest tears that Yao'er has ever shed in this life. Thank you, Third Brother. Even if this is a beautiful lie, Yao'er has no regrets. I will still be you in the next life. My little sister…”
"If there really is an afterlife, I will marry you. I will take you to travel around the mountains and rivers, listen to the wind in the Western Regions, smell the waves of the East China Sea, go boating in the rivers, and play the harp on the mountain tops. We will grow old together and never leave..."
"Okay, okay, let's grow old together and never leave... In the next life, if you meet a stupid woman who can only play the pipa and knows nothing else, it will be me. Third brother, after I die, please cremate me. You go Take my ashes with you wherever you go, okay? That way, Yao'er can stay with you forever..."
"Uh-huh!!"
"I really want to play "Lanzhou Hong" with you, I really want to, I really want to... I really want to..."
"Yao'er!!!"
…
"Kill Qin Mubai! We must not let him escape! Shoot the arrow and kill him!"
There were bursts of roars, shouts of killing that shook the sky, and arrows and rocks flew in random directions!
"Don't hurt General!!"
There were two scoldings, black shadows flashed, sword light was sharp, and several screams suddenly sounded.
"Where is the general?" It was the Tantai sisters.
"The general is here!" the guards guarding Qin Mubai shouted.
At this time, two more groups of guards came in from the left and right sides of the alley. There were many torches, blocking the alley.
"The matter has come to this, brothers, there is no way to escape. Let's fight to the death to avenge the King of Han!" A loud, thick voice came from the shouts of death.
The Tantai sisters broke into the shield forest and saw Qin Mubai holding the dead Yao'er, burying his head deeply and motionless.
The Tantai sisters were frightened, but they did not dare to disturb Qin Mubai, so they could only squat beside him and asked softly: "General, are you okay?"
Qin Mubai remained motionless, and after a while he gently shook his head.
Sister Tantai was relieved and said again: "General, we heard a very familiar voice in the crowd. If we identify it carefully, it must be Fang Yiai."
Qin Mubai didn't say that he had already heard the voice. Although he didn't have much contact with Fang Yiai, after thinking about it, Fang Yiai was the only one among the remaining members of the King of Han Dynasty who had such appeal and hated Qin Mubai so deeply.
"General, take care, I'll go get his head and pay homage to Miss Yao'er..."
"stop."
Just as the two girls were about to leave, Qin Mubai suddenly called out to them.
The two sisters could not help but tremble. Qin Mubai's voice sounded like it came from hell, so cold and chilling to the bone.
He held Yao'er in his arms and handed it to the two sisters, and said to them: "Protect her well and don't let her suffer any more harm."
"yes… "
"Bang—"
The Guiyi sword was unsheathed, Qin Mubai roared and stood up from the ground, stepped on the shield, flew up and jumped towards the wall.
"Fang Yiai, come out and die!"
"Qin Mubai! You came just in time!!!"
Several arrows were shot in the night sky. Qin Mubai raised his sword and chopped it down. He jumped up with a roar and with a domineering momentum, he slashed at the person who answered the call with his sword in the air!
"boom!"
There was a deafening sound, and sparks shot out in the night sky!
Fang Yiai screamed in horror and almost fell off the wall - Qin Mubai's sword was so powerful that it cut off his big ring sword!
Looking at the person in front of me again, his face, head, and clothes were all covered in blood. His face was twisted and his eyes were red. He was as ferocious as a demon!
"I'm going to cut you into pieces!!!"
"Bang bang bang—"
The swords and weapons connected and sparks shot out!
The Tantai sisters who were paying close attention to Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said in unison: "Eighteen cuts in a row!"
Although Fang Yiai was also somewhat brave, how could he compare to Qin Mubai? In addition, Qin Mubai was so angry that he did not care about life and death. He used desperate tactics to force him to retreat. Occasionally, a few killer associates came to help. Qin Mubai did not blink an eyelid and chopped them all to death with one blow. He suffered several wounds from the sword and remained indifferent, as if he was cutting on others.
"Madman!" Fang Yiai felt chills from the bottom of his heart. At this time, he seemed to have been forced into a blind corner of the house wall, with no way to retreat.
"You beast, give me back my demon child!!!"
"Bang" was another slash. The broken sword in Fang Yiai's hand could no longer resist and was knocked away. Before he could scream, Qin Mubai flew up, threw his whole body out, and kicked Zhongfang Yiai in the neck!
There was a series of "clicks", and the neck was definitely broken into several pieces!
The force of Qin Mubai's kick was enough to break a tree as thick as a bowl. The force was so fierce that it shocked the people nearby. Fang Yiai was kicked away and fell off the wall, then fell heavily to the ground. Several guards immediately swarmed him and wanted to arrest him.
Almost at the same time as Fang Yiai landed, Qin Mubai also fell down and landed sideways.
The kick just now was so desperate that he actually fell down.
But as soon as he landed, Qin Mubai, who was slightly dizzy, turned over and shouted, "Get away!!" regardless of his injuries.
The guards trembled and hurriedly retreated. Fang Yiai lay on the ground with his neck crooked. He tried to get up, but could no longer move.
Qin Mubai walked up to him and stared at him condescendingly, his eyes like fire and his face like a devil.
After throwing away the knife, Qin Mubai bent down, grabbed Fang Yiai's neck and lifted him up. He stood up straight and twisted his fists so hard that his bones cracked.
"Fuck|your ancestors!!!"
One punch struck Fang Yiai right in the eye. The eyes burst like bubbles. Fang Yiai flew out and hit the city wall like a hammer.
Before he could stop rolling on the ground, Qin Mubai flew up and stepped out. He heard the sound of bones shattering and hit the wall again.
At this moment, Qin Mubai was completely crazy...
He rushed forward, pushed the half-dead Fang Yiai with his knees, and violently opened his fists from left to right, falling on his face like a violent storm.
"Bastard! You bastard!!!"
In Qin Mubai's life, he has never been as frantic as today, and has never been as violent as today.
"Bang bang bang..."
He didn't know how many punches he had, until everyone around him became quiet, and Qin Mubai himself was beaten until his whole body became weak. Only then did two Baiqi fight to pull him away.
Everyone formed a circle and did not dare to come within three feet. Fang Yiai had been beaten into a human shape, and her brains and blood were bursting out in all directions. The scene was shocking.
Princess Gaoyang, Mother Qin, Shuang'er and others stood in a corner of the crowd, almost petrified.
The Tantai sisters came over with Yao'er in their arms. Qin Mubai stood up, took Yao'er with his bloody hands, held Yao'er tightly in his arms, and walked back home step by step...
Three days later, it was a beautiful sunny day at the top of Zhongnan Mountain.
Yao'er was dressed in beautiful palace makeup, with a smile on her face, and a flower patch on her forehead by Qin Mubai himself, and she was lying quietly on the cremation pyre.
Qin Mubai was dressed in white and stood in front of her for a long time holding a torch. Behind him are Princess Gaoyang, Mother Qin, Shuang'er, Qin Tong, Qin Bin, the Tantai sisters, a group of orphans adopted by Yao'er, everyone in Qinxian Pavilion, as well as Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Daozong and Li Xueyan , thousands of officials and common people in Chang'an City who admired Yao'er's folk music, even Concubine Yin De, who had not appeared in public for several years, also came. Wearing a black palace gauze hat, she stood quietly with Princess Gao Yang. Right behind Qin Mubai.
"Mu Bai, let's start... You've been standing like this for an hour."
"Well..." Qin Mubai responded softly with his back to Princess Gao Yang.
He walked up to the firewood pile with stairs, bent down and kissed Yao'er's snow-like face, and said to her: "Yao'er, remember our agreement. In the next life, we will play "Lanzhou Hong" together again. . Take you to travel around the mountains and rivers, listen to the wind in the Western Regions, smell the waves of the East China Sea, go boating on the rivers, and play the piano on the mountain tops, and we will never leave you..."
The pyre burst into flames.
Many began to sigh and even cry.
Qin Mubai stood there in a daze, watching the flames gradually swallow up the firewood pile and submerge it. He took out a pipa, sat down not far from the fire, closed his eyes, and played the strings.
A tragic song, "Lanzhou Hong".
Everyone burst into tears, even commanders Sun Wuji and Chu Suiliang couldn't help but sigh. Li Daozong, who was bleeding but not crying on the battlefield, was holding his hands tightly and his eyes were red.
"Lanzhou Hong" was played over and over again without stopping for a moment. Thousands of people from Chang'an spontaneously came to see Yao'er off, their sobbing and crying echoing leisurely like the sea of clouds and wind waves on the top of the mountain.
At this time, a pure white little butterfly fell on Qin Mubai's golden crown. He quietly listened to the melodious and poignant "Lanzhou Hong" and flapped its wings gently, as if he was carefree. , peaceful, intoxicated applause, cheers...
