"So what!?" Xie Yaohua suddenly raised her red eyes, and threw her fingers around Meng Qiqi's shirt tightly: "Meng Laiyi, there should be a break between us. Married, but he actually volunteered to lead the army to guard the southwest, you are not because of you, how can I believe it? If you really can't eliminate the thoughts in his heart even if you die, then I will let him watch you die on the spot but can't do anything , I don't believe that after doing this, he can still miss you!"
Meng Qiqi struggled hard, but found that Xie Yaohua was holding on tightly.
"Here!" Xie Yaohua shouted, and two alien guards rushed in from outside the door. They supported Meng Eqi from left to right and dragged them out of the door.
"Xie Yaohua! Xie Yaohua—"
Seeing Meng Eqi being dragged away, Xie Yaohua felt both fear and hatred in her heart. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and for some unknown reason, she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she and Meng Eqi broke the peonies in the imperial garden together, and were scolded by their mother together. There were also Yu and the others treading water in Taiye Pond, and Meng Eqi was drowning, and she was the one who pulled Meng Eqi up. There are also two people hiding from the rain together, hiding under the huge banana leaves...
Scenes of memories hit Xie Yaohua's heart, she clenched her fists tightly, not letting her soft heart take another cent. Xie Yaohua turned her head away, her eyes flushed.
I can't blame her... I can't blame her, if I want to blame Meng Qiqi herself...
Meng Qiqi was dragged by someone, and her wrist hurt. She was dragged out of the house, and there were people on both sides of the road with their heads shrunk. Meng Qiqi shouted for help, but the other party just shrank his neck and showed a pair of eyes.
He Shang's soldiers had already entered and exited the city in a grand manner, and ordinary people did not dare to resist.
The two soldiers of He Shang dragged Meng Eqi in front of a person. Meng Eqi raised his head and found that it was the person who came out of Xu Guard's house that day.
"Princess Laiyi," the other party said in a less fluent Central Plains language: "I'm Amutuo from He Shang. It's a pleasure to meet you, although in such a rude way."
Meng Qiqi's face showed anger: "He Shang, don't be complacent, when the army of the capital arrives, you group of aliens will only turn into a grain of sand in the mountains of Great Chu."
"Indeed, the great Chu country is prosperous, we naturally dare not look at it, but—"
Amutuo narrowed his azure blue eyes: "If you can exchange it with Princess Yi, it would be great. So come to Princess Yi, you will have to suffer a little."
After all, he said something to the guard, and the two soldiers from He Shang dragged Meng Eqi forward.
Before Meng Eqi came back to her senses, a few strands of hemp rope were tied around her wrist, and then she asked with a slight trembling, "What are you going to do?"
Amutuo said behind her: "Princess Laiyi, you may not know. Jicheng has been surrounded by soldiers, and it may be about to attack soon. For the sake of the rest of the brothers in the city, we are going to make a deal with you and Emperor Chu."
After speaking, the soldiers carried Meng Eqi and threw her off the city wall.
Meng Qiqi let out a loud cry, closed her eyes tightly, but stopped when she reached the air, and at the same time there was a sharp pain in her wrist.
They actually hung her on the city wall!
And outside the city, there are already black soldiers standing. They were all shocked when they saw Meng Eqi being thrown out abruptly. Chi Zheng, who was the leader of the soldiers, saw the familiar figure and was very shocked: "Laiyi!"
Just as he took a step forward, the He Shang soldiers on the city wall shot an arrow crossbow, which hit under his horse's hoof.
"Uncle Chi..." Meng Qiqi said with difficulty: "Don't come here..."
Chi Zheng was furious, raised his head and shouted: "He businessman, if you have the backbone, why would you need to embarrass a woman!?"
Amutuo gave a sneering face: "General Chi, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, and ask you people in Chu who can talk to the emperor. From now on, I will kill ten people from Jicheng every hour. Use the blood of the Chu people to boost the morale of my congratulations to the merchants! I hope the adults in the capital come faster, otherwise the blood will flow into the river, and it will be difficult to clean up."
Chi Zheng took a sip: "The cowardly rat!"
Amutuo didn't care: "Of course, General Chi can also forcibly attack the city, but unfortunately I don't know if Princess Laiyi's life can be saved. There is a word among you called 'weighing the pros and cons', I believe It should not be a loss for a Princess Laiyi to exchange for another Jicheng."
Chi Zheng asked people to rush back to the capital to report the news. He stood on the horse anxiously and looked at Meng Qiqi.
Meng Eqi was swept into her collar by the cold wind of winter, and her consciousness was dizzy, but she was still consciously aware that she was still hanging on the city wall.
Chi Zheng did not let the army retreat for half a step, and shouted, "Laiyi, you have to hold on."
The hemp ropes on Meng Qiqi's wrists had already been pulled into the flesh, and blood beads were sprouting from her fair skin.
Her red lips were chapped and her hair was messy.
Amutuo did what he said, and every hour he killed ten people in the city and threw the corpses from the high tower.
During this period, they pulled Meng Eqi up and gave her water to drink, fearing that she would die like this. Meng Qiqi was lying on the ground and saw Xie Yaohua standing behind the pillar with a terrified face.
"Xie Yaohua... I want to tell Xie Yaohua to come over." Her voice was hoarse and she stared at Xie Yaohua: "If you want to seize the city, let Xie Yaohua come over, and you can get what you want."
The soldier looked at Amutuo, Amutuo nodded, and Xie Yaohua was pushed forward.
Meng Qiqi tugged at her sleeve and said softly, "Yongning... I don't care how much you hate me, but if you stand by and watch now, more people will die under He Shang's sword. Princess, you can't do this. And Yongning..."
Meng Qiqi seemed to be saying in a pleading tone: "I am pregnant, the child belongs to Sheng Jiayan, I cannot die..."
Xie Yaohua's eyes widened for a moment, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Amutuo was afraid that they were plotting something, so Xie Yaohua was dragged away.
Xie Yaohua was dragged away in surprise, and the blood on Meng Qiqi's wrist suddenly touched the emotion sealed in her heart.
They tied Meng Eqi and hung it on the city wall again. Meng Eqi lowered her head and looked lifeless.
Amutuo raised his voice: "General Chi, are the adults of the Chu Dynasty still in the future? If we drag it on, Princess Laiyi can't hold it anymore."
Meng Eqi licked her dry lips. She wondered if what she said just now could make Xie Yaohua change her mind.
The flames burned red to half of the city, and the slowly accumulating clouds engulfed the waning moon on the side.
In the evening, the snow fell, and Amutuo took the trouble to drop ten corpses of the people of the city for the fifth time.
Meng Eqi's heart ached as she listened to the mourning of the relatives of the dead people in the city.
Amutuo held her hostage, so Chi Zheng didn't dare to attack, so he could only watch Meng Eqi suffer, but he couldn't do anything.
The last time, Meng Qiqi looked into the distance, she tried to raise her head: "Amutuo, I have something to say!"
Amutuo hesitated for a moment, and someone pulled her up.
For the last time, Meng Eqi looked at the dark soldiers outside the city and Chi Zheng's anxious expression. Suddenly, she heard the screeching of hooves from far to near.
Meng Qiqi made up her mind and took the opportunity to say, "Amutuo, as you said, I am the princess of Laiyi."
Amutuo looked at her, not knowing what he meant.
"My uncle taught me when I was young that, as the princess of the Great Chu, you have to use your flesh and blood to forge the shrine, so as to be worthy of the support of the people of Limin to our royal family."
Meng Qiqi climbed up the city wall, and she shouted to the soldiers of the state of Chu who were suffocating downstairs: "I am Meng Qiqi, Princess Laiyi of the Great Chu Kingdom. I should live as a commoner, and die for the commoners! I will never let me Xiao took my life and came to threaten you."
Out of the corner of Meng Eqi's light, he saw the figure of the man wearing a black cloak and riding a white horse gradually approaching, but unfortunately it was too late, and Amutuo had already reached out from behind to grab her. Almost instantly, Meng Eqi leaped down from the city wall.
Maybe time will slow down a lot before a person dies.
The whistling winter wind blew past her ears, and Meng Qiqi fell heavily to the ground. She saw Chi Zheng who was too late to catch her, and also saw Sheng Jiayan's face in shock and pain at that moment.
Seeing the heavy snow flying, all the soldiers of the state of Chu looked sad.
"lush!"
At the last moment, Meng Eqi heard Sheng Jiayan's heart-breaking cry, saw the blood on his black cloak, and the sadness in his eyes.
Before she could say the last word, she was like a flower that should bloom in spring, drowned in the snow on a winter night, and finally died.
Sheng Jiayan held Meng Qiqi's icy body, and Amutuo immediately set up a crossbow on the city wall and shot at Marquis Changxin.
At that moment, another figure flew over and blocked the two of them under him, but he was hit by several arrows.
A stream of blood fell from the corner of Nie Xuanlie's mouth, and he stared at Meng Eqi lying in Sheng Jiayan's arms. In excessive grief, he snatched Chi Zheng's spear, stepped on the city wall after a few steps in the air, picked up the clothes of a He Shang soldier, and chopped off his head in the air.
Bright red blood and white snow became the darkest colors in the night.
The moment the army pressed into Jicheng, Amutuo was dead.
Sheng Jiayan buried his head in Meng Qiqi's neck: "Qiqi... my Qiqi..."
Chi Zheng grabbed Xie Yaohua, who was unable to leave, from Jicheng and pushed it to Sheng Jiayan. Sheng Jiayan raised his eyes filled with murderous intent, and Xie Yaohua shuddered at his eyes.
"Meng Laiyi, she..." Xie Yaohua was incoherent: "She is pregnant..."
Sheng Jiayan was stunned for a moment, the long sword from his waist was unsheathed almost in an instant, and the next second the blade was already on Xie Yaohua's neck, as long as it was an inch closer, Xie Yaohua would be in a different place.
But his sword couldn't cut it.
because…
Nie Xuanlie firmly grasped the sword edge that Sheng Jiayan swung with his hand.
Sheng Jiayan changed his splits to thorns and attacked Nie Xuanlie's eyes.
Nie Xuanlie did not move, but let his sword prepare to sink into his eyes.
Sheng Jiayan's sword edge stopped, and when Nie Xuanlie opened his eyes again, Sheng Jiayan threw the long sword on the ground, hugged Meng Qiqi, who was gradually stiff and cold, and turned around and walked into the boundless snow.
