The bright moon is in the sky, and the city wall is silent.
Yan Shu entered Shuofang City together with the raiding soldiers. He came to the gate of the city, intending to take Qin Jueming's head away so that his adoptive father could live in peace after his death.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure struggling to lean out of the crenel, reaching for the long pole.
Before Yan Shu could speak out, Li Changtian swayed and fell off the city wall.
At that moment, it was almost instinctive.
Yan Shu didn't think about anything except to protect him.
Yan Shu narrowed his eyes suddenly, jumped up in the air, caught Li Changtian, hugged him tightly, fell heavily on the ground, and rolled several times.
From the beginning to the end, Li Changtian was firmly protected by Yan Shu in his arms, with only slight scratches.
But Yan Shu's whole body was placed under Li Changtian's body, hurting his flesh, muscles, bones and internal organs. He let go of Li Changtian, and as soon as he sat up, he immediately frowned in pain, covered his chest, turned sideways and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Yanshu?!" Li Changtian panicked and shouted in a trembling voice, blaming himself for not being careful just now.
Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian, but did not respond. He wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth with lowered eyes, and stood up with some difficulty.
Because of the too much momentum just now, Yan Shu's hand was also injured, and it hurt like a bone gouging when he moved a little bit. He gritted his teeth and pressed his toes lightly. He jumped up step by step against the city wall, protecting Qin Jueming's head I took it off my arms.
When Yan Shu fell to the ground, he staggered because of the pain in his knee, and almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in time.
This scene was watched by Li Changtian, and he was so distressed that he couldn't breathe smoothly, and even his internal organs were throbbing.
Li Changtian didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing something.
After Yan Shu took Qin Jueming's head, he took off his coat, wrapped it up carefully, and then gently placed it on the ground.
He knelt down on his knees, and knocked his head three times heavily towards the remains.
Then Yan Shu used the two sleeves of his outer garment to tie the wrapped remains to his back.
After finishing these things, Yan Shu looked at Li Changtian.
Li Changtian also looked at him.
Yan Shu's eyes were full of sadness, dyed with a little bit of cool moonlight, so that it was so sad.
Like a stray goose, from north to south, from south to north, it wailed loudly, wailing until it wept blood, but it still couldn't find its home.
Li Changtian suddenly realized.
Like him, Yan Shu lost his only relative in the world.
Back then, when Li Qiushui died, Li Changtian was heartbroken.
Now, Yan Shu is so distraught.
Regardless of the injuries on his body, Li Changtian struggled to stand up, and limped up to Yan Shu. His tone was flustered, and he was eager to explain: "Yan Shu, I..."
But just after Li Changtian said these three words, Yan Shu suddenly reached out and pushed him hard.
Li Changtian felt his world spinning, his face was ashen, and he fell backwards.
However, what Li Changtian didn't expect was that a knife pierced through his black hair, brushed past his side, and stabbed straight at Yan Shu who was standing in front of him!
It turned out that a Beidi soldier saw that the situation in Shuofang City was unfavorable, so he slipped to the city gate and wanted to escape, because deserters would be beheaded if they were found, so seeing Li Changtian and Yan Shu here, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, he swung his sword at them.
In order to protect Li Changtian, Yan Shu pushed him away, but he couldn't dodge in time!
In an instant, the silver blade of the knife was stained with glaring blood and pierced deeply into Yan Shu's left shoulder!
"Yanshu!!!"
For a while, Li Changtian's mind was blank, he only knew that there were spots of warm blood splashing on his face, which made him tremble all over.
He didn't know what he was doing, or where he was.
There was a hoarse scream in my ear, but I didn't know who it was.
He felt that a string in his brain was broken, and everywhere he could see was scarlet, and there was only chaos in the world.
When Li Changtian came back to his senses, he was holding a bloody short dagger in his hand, and the Beidi soldier was already dead.
Li Changtian abandoned the body, and ran towards Yan Shu in a staggered manner.
Yan Shu fell to the ground, with a ring-headed knife stabbed on his shoulder, the tip of the knife sank three points, and the wound was bleeding profusely, which was extremely frightening.
He already had injuries on his body, his face was pale for a while, and his eyes were out of focus.
Li Changtian called Yan Shu's name several times in a panic, and pulled him into his arms, trying to pull out the ring-shou knife to stop his bleeding.
With the last ounce of strength, Yan Shu held Li Changtian's wrist, and said intermittently and angrily: "The blade is...venomous...don't, don't touch it..."
Only then did Li Changtian realize that the blood from Yan Shu's wound was a terrifying pitch-black color!
Yan Shu's eyes were slack, and he was already murmuring unconsciously, but when it happened all the time, he still told him the same sentence: "You... don't... touch the blade..."
"Yan Shu, don't worry." Li Changtian's eyes were bloodshot, his voice was trembling, and his hands were trembling, "Please, I beg you! From now on, wherever you call me, I will go, and I will follow you carefully. Don’t leave, Yan Shu, did you hear that? Yan Shu!!”
Li Changtian knew that now was not the time to panic, he took a deep breath, held the handle of the ring head knife, and wanted to pull out the knife for Yan Shu, and then bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding.
But pulling the knife out of the wound must be extremely painful. Yan Shu's face was pale, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, moaning in fragments: "Uh..."
Li Changtian blocked Yan Shu's wrist with one hand, and clenched the handle of the knife with the other. Then he became ruthless and pulled out the ring head knife abruptly.
Blood spattered out, and Yan Shu fainted from the pain.
Li Changtian didn't dare to be negligent, and planned to throw away the ring head knife immediately, and quickly pressed Yan Shu's wound to stop the bleeding.
How do you know that the world is unpredictable, at this moment, someone suddenly struck Li Changtian with a palm and pushed Li Changtian away a few feet!
Li Changtian was about to look up when someone grabbed his neck and pressed him down hard.
Li Changtian was caught off guard and landed on his back, his wounds were all stuck on the sand and gravel, either the cracks were deeper, or tiny bloodstains were worn out.
Changsun Bai pinched Li Changtian's neck, his eyes were shattered, and he was furious. His veins sprang up and he said angrily: "You traitor, you killed General Qin, and dare to seriously injure Lord Yan?! I will definitely kill you! !!"
Just now Changsun Bai and Li Zhanfeng led troops to sneak attack on Beidi, under the right time, place and people, the sneak attack was extraordinarily smooth, and they gained the absolute upper hand in a short while.
Changsun Bai was also concerned about the fact that Qin Jueming's head was still hanging over the city gate, so after repelling Beidi soldiers, he hurriedly led his troops to this place.
Unexpectedly, Li Changtian happened to see Li Changtian restraining Yan Shu with one hand, and clutching a blood-drenched ring-shouldered knife with the other. Yan Shu passed out, and his shoulder was dyed a shocking red with blood.
Chang Sun Bai immediately believed that Li Changtian had hurt Yan Shu.
Guessing that he was misunderstood, Li Changtian felt a chill in his heart. He struggled desperately and wanted to defend himself, but Changsun Bai exhausted all his strength and strangled him by the throat. Li Changtian couldn't speak at all.
The fragile throat was restrained by someone, and it was difficult to exert strength due to the injuries on his body. Although Li Changtian tried his best to break free, black and white spots gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and the smell of blood rose from his mouth. At this moment, Changsun Bai suddenly realized that he should not It ended Li Changtian's life so easily.
Changsun Bai grabbed Li Changtian's collar with both hands, and slammed his head to the ground.
When the pain came, Li Changtian's eyes darkened, and he passed out.
-
When Li Changtian woke up again, he only felt a splitting headache, and there was not a single spot on his body that did not hurt.
He opened his eyes and looked, and found that he was locked in a narrow iron cage. The iron cage was placed in the military tent and was usually used to hold prisoners.
Although Li Changtian had no restraints on his body, the railings of the iron cage were covered with fine and dense barbs, making it impossible to get close.
Li Changtian put his head in his hands, pulling his sanity back into his body little by little.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and shouted desperately: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
"What are you arguing about?!" A soldier walked in outside the military tent. He was supposed to be eating with a vegetable bowl in his hand.
"How is Yan Shu?" Li Changtian asked anxiously.
The soldier sneered, threw the bowl in his hand at Li Changtian, and cursed angrily, "You traitor, you still have the face to ask Lord Yan what's wrong? Shut up, if it wasn't for General Changsun who said that he would be dealt with according to military orders You, you died long ago! Why wait until tomorrow morning to pick off your head in public?"
The vegetable bowl hit the railing of the iron cage, and Li Changtian was extremely close, and was immediately slapped with leftovers.
Li Changtian didn't care about cleaning up at all. Seeing the soldier turn around to leave, he rushed forward and grabbed the railing of the iron cage with both hands in a panic. Although his palm was scratched and bleeding from the barb, Li Changtian didn't seem to feel the pain: "Wait a minute. Let's go, tell me first, what happened to Yan Shu? Is he okay? He was poisoned, has the poison been cured? Yan Shu's internal organs must be injured, tell the military doctor that he must rest, uh... "
But the officer felt that Li Changtian was hypocritical, so he was extremely impatient to hear it, stepped forward a few steps, opened the iron door of the prison, pushed Li Changtian to the ground, tied his hands with rags, and gagged his mouth, In the end, he kicked Li Changtian several times before venting his anger and leaving.
Just now, the sudden questioning almost used up all the remaining strength of Li Changtian.
When he calmed down again, Li Changtian lay on his side on the ground, feeling weak in his limbs and unable to move at all.
He didn't get the answers he wanted to know.
He didn't know how Yan Shu was doing now.
The wounds on Li Changtian's body suddenly started to hurt together, the pain was mixed together, obviously tearing the nerves, but Li Changtian's consciousness began to gradually blur, his whole body was cold, his lips were pale, and he was extremely thirsty and tired.
He was bleeding profusely.
Li Changtian felt extremely tired, he closed his eyes and wanted to take a good rest.
But he also knew that after such a sleep, he might never wake up again.
Li Changtian suddenly remembered the setting sun that fell deep in his eyes in his previous life before he died.
Peaceful and serene.
But now, that scene seemed to appear before his eyes again, very close at hand.
Go to sleep, go to sleep.
A voice persuaded Li Changtian from the bottom of his heart.
If you fall asleep, you don’t have to suffer so much, and you don’t have to suffer so much.
…
no! ! !
Suddenly, another voice sounded.
Li Changtian opened his eyes suddenly, he gritted his teeth stubbornly, and kept awake with red eyes.
No, he can't just sleep like this.
He is not afraid of being poked in the spine and cursed by the world.
But he couldn't be misunderstood by Yan Shu.
He must see Yan Shu again, and he must tell Yan Shu that he is not a traitor and that he did not hurt Master Qin.
He wants to live.
