Qingchuan History

Chapter 568

Suoning is dense, and there are always two hundred days in a year, such as today, it is cloudy.The clouds were hazy and gray, as if rain could be squeezed out at any time.

"If you want to save his life, you can persuade him now." Gu Xinglang said in a low voice, "No matter what backhands he left behind in the palace, it seems that Murong Xun has cleaned them up."

"The Shadowless Forest Formation was created by Taizu Qi," I heard Murong Xun, a member of Ling Xiao's sect, say, "I have always admired it. I have practiced it with King Su several times before, but I have never seen it used on the battlefield. Yin Palace is suitable. , the tall bamboos are overgrown, the branches and leaves are dense, and I can feel it as soon as I enter the palace gate."

Ruan Zhong still looked at Mancheng, not looking at him.

"It's three hundred in total. They're all there." Murong Xun pointed to the palace gate to the northeast of the gate. There should be such a place, but no one on the street could see it. The sword has no eyes, on the battlefield you can save your life if you don’t want to part with it, if they sacrifice their lives for you, they can only perish, Brother Zhong,”

"Shadowless Forest Formation doesn't have to be used in tall wooded forests." Ruan Zhong continued to look at the city, "I have more than 300 people in this battle formation. Six hundred."

The sound of the wind came from where his voice fell.

There was a whistling sound between the eaves and the second and third floors of the taller buildings in the city, but the Wei soldiers stationed on the main city road fell to the ground one by one from south to north, silently, only the sound of the wind was like thunder, and flying like shadows The long blades of the Yin soldiers in their hands cut out silver light in the fast-moving posture.

"Fire the arrow!" Murong Xun said urgently.

"Slow down!" Ruan Zhong yelled, stepping on the other party's voice.

The wind broke out between the top floors of the eaves, and the Wei soldiers who were also lying on the high ground and occupying a favorable position were full of arrows, but they did not let go.

"You are really not afraid that I will kill her."

Jing Tingge has already felt exhausted, if not being carried by Ruan Zhong, he would almost be unable to stand.

"If you really want to kill, Ruan Xueyin won't stop it, so what should I stop?"

Ruan Zhong was stunned for a moment and then smiled, half sighing and half laughing, "Where are the civil and military men from the Manchu Dynasty in my Yin country? Bring them here, I have something to say."

"I can refuse."

"Three hundred ninja soldiers have to be dragged to the northern border. It is difficult, but it is not impossible."

"Gu Xinglang won't help you anymore." Murong Xun was rare and quiet, "He would be a fool if he tried to rescue him at this time. The tens of thousands of people in Fengting Pass are no match for Qi Weihe's strength, and they don't know how much they will lose if they go all the way south. "

"So I asked you to bring my courtiers here, don't you understand?"

Murong Xun was also a little startled, he wanted to exchange glances with Jing Tingge but he could only see the blood red on her neck. "bring it here!"

Most of the civil servants accounted for more than half; the military generals especially tied their hands tightly with five flowers, went to the front of the gate, looked up and shouted at Ruan Zhong:
"The ministers and others are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. If the emperor wants to fight to the death, the ministers and others will accompany each other with death!"

Murong Xun's troops approached the city, the bloody generals took the lead, many of them might have died for their country.The only ones left, the robes and battle armor were also stained with blood. He shouted that this person's eyes were scarlet, and he must have experienced a fierce battle.

It should be Lin Chong's old department, one of the generals who followed Ruan Zhong's mutiny two months ago.

Then listen to the rest of the civil servants also in solemn voices, and said loudly, "I will show my will by death."

It is difficult to fight back when captured and bound, and can only die.Ruan Xueyin was bitter in her heart, but Ruan Zhong still had a smile on her face, looked at Murong Xun and said:
"I still want to see my people, the people of Suoning City."

"I didn't hurt the people, but I accidentally hurt them. Everyone still shut the doors and windows. It's just that you want to see, they don't seem to dare to open the doors and windows."

In the middle of the west side of the main city road, on the second floor, there was a creak.

Someone poked his head. It was an old man with half-white beard and hair, and his hands resting on the window sill.

Another creak.

Say it again.

The doors under the corridor were also opened one by one, men, women and children came out timidly or timidly, and the children hid behind the woman, holding their mother's hand tightly.

The city is full of blood, and the corpses of black and brown armor are scattered in the streets and alleys.

"Last month, I was also standing here. Cong Ruogu and I talked about the way of the emperor, and said that we would change hereditary inheritance into abdication, so that we can become great,"

Some of the bound officials bowed down, it should be Cong Ruogu.

"It's not a stopgap measure. Tell the truth." Ruan Zhong continued, "In the 300-year history of the Yin Kingdom, I am the shortest reigning monarch. I have not done anything for the country and the people. I only caused chaos and war. I am ashamed of that day. Promise at the gate."

Ashamed but not humble, he stood up straight, still holding the Jingting song tightly, watching all directions with his eyes and ears listening to all directions,

"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely implement the abdication system. I will change many old systems and establish new regulations, including allowing women to go to school and enter official careers, including that men can only marry one wife, and the monarch will set an example."

He laughed again, it was when Ruan Xueyin saw him laugh the most these years,
"It all sounds like big talk. Because there is no chance. You can think of it as raising the flag before death and saying beautiful words for future generations. But how can I be famous?"

"Your Majesty!"

The shouts from downstairs were loud, and Ruan Zhong interrupted loudly:

"Everyone is a man of death! But I cannot decide your life or death. I can only decide for myself. If possible, I hope you are all alive. Qi Jun is benevolent and righteous, and Wei Jun is not a bloodthirsty person. I believe that you Will be treated equally and kindly like Qi Min and Wei Min. Will you, Qi Jun?"

Gu Xinglang was driving in the middle of the road, surrounded by civilians and corpses all over the ground, Ruan Xueyin was sitting in front of him.

"Yes." Gu Xinglang answered happily.

Ruan Zhong nodded, looked down at Jing Tingge, and the sharp blade in his hand moved noticeably, "I really want to pull you together. If we want to unify, what's the trouble with you?"

"Fifth brother listen to my sister again!"

Ruan Xueyin blurted out, got off her horse and went straight to Lingxiao Gate.

No one dared to stop her, no one could stop her, she ran wildly across the bloody ground, passed by Murong Xun's side, said in a low voice, "If you receive her, find a doctor immediately", and rushed into the Lingxiao Gate.

Of course Ruan Zhong will wait for her.

Still holding Jing Tingge firmly, he turned to the steps and watched Ruan Xueyin appearing out of breath.

No bloodstains appeared on Jing Tingge's skirt and shoes.Ruan Xueyin stopped a foot away to confirm, still feeling startled, hurriedly said:
"Since Fifth Brother has decided to surrender, why bother to add another life—"

"You know that I will not surrender. I am the king, and when the country dies, I will die."

Ruan Xueyin naturally knew. "I told Fifth Brother outside Suoning City, don't bet your life on one choice—"

"Xueyin," Ruan Zhong said warmly, "You know I can't."

He said that, holding Jing Tingge closer to the edge of the gate, glanced at Murong Xun's position below, suddenly withdrew the dagger and pushed it.

Jing Tingge flew into the air like a broken butterfly, and immediately fell.

Ruan Xue's hoarse "Don't" was mixed with the rumbling shouts of the wind and people, just like weeping in a dream.

Murong Xun was just under Ling Xiao's gate, keeping a close eye on the movement above, seeing the two approaching the outer edge and getting ready.He also saw Ruan Zhong's inconspicuous glance down.When the corner of Jing Tingge's smoky purple satin skirt appeared in the air, he flew up and held her back firmly.

The city was full of blood, and the swirling damp wind made Jing Tingge want to vomit.But the moment she was caught, she tensed up with all her strength, and the crossbow arrow in the quiver on Murong Xun's back was wrapped there as promised.The crossbow is also there.

She stretched out her hand to draw the arrow and then drew the crossbow, and quickly aimed at Ruan Zhong's back at the edge of the gatehouse, which was almost out of sight, while falling.

Whoosh!
The thick and short sharp arrow pierced through the wind whirlpool and pierced into Ruan Zhong's back.

The distance is really close, the crossbow arrow is easy to operate, and Jing Tingge's intermittent practice for several years is enough to be accurate.

Ruan Zhong half knelt down.

Ruan Xueyin rushed forward and also half-knelt down.

"On the arrowhead is Minglou Cui!" Jing Tingge had already landed with Murong Xun, the whole person wanted to close his eyes in the dark, and shouted with the last strength:
"The teacher's closed book is a collection of the strange poisons of the Eastern Palace Medicine Garden. If there is no antidote, Ruan Zhong will surely die!"

These words seem to be speaking to the entire Suoning Qingchuan Continent.

She personally killed Ruan Zhong to complete the final blow to Yin.

It's like talking to only one person.

If that person understands, he will know what to do.

Ruan Xueyin was only stunned for a moment, and then caressed Ruan Zhong's face with one hand, tenderly, in a gesture of farewell, and put the other hand into her sleeve.

Both of them were half kneeling, and only their heads and shoulders could be seen on the street below the gate.Soon her other hand touched the other side of Ruan Zhong's face, it was too far away, and she could only vaguely distinguish it, but the moment that hand stroked his face, it was clear that something was stuffed into Ruan Zhong's mouth.

No one saw her, even Gu Xinglang only saw her caressing his cheek with both hands.

"Swallow it." Ruan Xueyin said softly.

Ruan Zhong did as he did, his lips began to turn blue, "It doesn't mean there is no antidote."

"No." Ruan Xueyin replied, feeling sad.The clouds in the sky really squeezed the raindrops, and the accidental teenage years of the long years in the palace, they were all orphans of this overthrown family from beginning to end.

"Then what are you feeding me?" Ruan Zhong laughed, unexpectedly happy.Ruan Xueyin's hands caressed his face, the flowers and tenderness of late spring.

"It can be contained. Stay alive for now."

Ruan Zhong saw tears in her eyes, hanging in the corners of her eyes, and wiped them with her hand, "I never expected you to cry for me. It's worth it."

"Why are you so stupid. I told you—"

"I also think you are stupid. Xueyin, you and I both lost our mothers and were disgusted by our fathers since we were young. We are used to the cold, and if there is a little warmth, the spring will repay it. So you are my lamp color, and Gu Xinglang is yours. So we are all stupid." It should be pain, he panted heavily,

"I clearly understand that I won't be your lamp color. It's just a fluke."

"You too." Ruan Xueyin burst into tears, "I didn't understand before, but he is also good, teacher, Jing Tingge, you, and Chunfeng, I really know very few people in this world who count as relatives and friends, But you guys. You are all my lights, I will always remember, and you will repay each other with the spring."

Ruan Zhong gasped and laughed again, "I'm already on a par with Gu Xinglang. It's worth it." He continued to wipe her tears,

"I don't want you to sign up. I'm almost here. Take care of them. In fact, they don't need you to sign up. You should also be their lamp color. Jing Tingge is still willing to call this voice, but he is afraid of you I hate her too much."

Ruan Xueyin became more and more sad, and shook her head, "She doesn't necessarily want to kill you. She just wants the world to see her kill you. Men have ruthlessness and courage, and she wants to prove to the world that she also has it. Women stand in the world It is much more difficult to do the same thing as a man and get the same respect. She has to be more determined and ruthless to break out of the siege of secular judgment. She may be too selfish and ambitious, and it looks ugly to resort to action, but her nature is not bad. She yelled this way because she felt that I might still have a way to save you. It is enough that you die in front of the world and the country is destroyed."

The winter rain is really falling.Pattering, a very small water flower falling on the bluestone slab, it is not like winter rain, but like a clear and shallow spring day.

But Ruan Zhong trembled, the poison spread and was restrained by the new medicine, coldness came from the bone marrow. "On the way to the south, she said that my choice was not out of the righteousness of the family and the country, but just to leave an indomitable back in your heart."

Seeing him trembling, Ruan Xueyin didn't know what to do, she just left her cheek and stroked his arm up and down, "Stop talking, later——"

"I was disgusted at first, and I didn't think it was right, but now that I think about it, it's not wrong." He didn't seem to hear, and said to himself, "You told me, no one valued or cherished, so we should cherish ourselves even more, and do what we want." One of the nicest guys in the world."

She said it.It should be these words.Gu Xinglang didn't tell the story at the beginning, and he stabbed her outside Suoning City to prevent the situation from getting worse, so he didn't ask. To this day, her memory is fuzzy, but she can vaguely recognize it from her mouth.

It was also a rainy day in the Imperial Garden, the bamboo forest was whirling, and the gloomy little boy was treading water alone in the stream.The man-made canal in the Yin Palace, according to the number of running water on the night of the New Year, just think about it and you will know that it is cold.She is still a little girl, she has just been to Pengxi Mountain for two years, and she doesn't know what the future will be like, but she is still alone when she comes back, sitting by the stream with an umbrella to listen to the rain at night.

Zhao Sui Ming Nuan belongs to others, and has never had anything to do with her.Since it has nothing to do with him, so the orphans in the name of the prince and princess appeared at the deserted stream at the same time that night.

Should have said a few words about it.Everyone knows who the other party is, even though they are not familiar with each other, they share the same disease and pity each other.

Memory never visits.

Up to this moment, it has been clearly stated by the parties concerned.

"I'm gloomy and extreme, I know. Without your few words, I'm afraid I would have grown into a cruel and bottomless villain. I have learned enough skills when I was a teenager, and I have calculated more than once The poisonous plan of murder and arson, wait until you come back every year, see you, think of these words, feel ashamed, and gradually let go. Xueyin, I want to thank you, maybe my mother also wants to thank you, "he looked at her trying to smile nicely,
"Keep me from becoming a villain. Maybe it's still like a joke. The shortest-lived Mr. Yin has a bad name and failed to defend his family and country, but he made a bunch of whimsical wishes without shame."

He trembled more and more, and his smile couldn't look good because of the severe pain.The winter rain wet the armor and satin skirts of the two of them. Ruan Xueyin suddenly came back to his senses and went to tumbling in his sleeves. Suddenly, he stretched his arms around him. The porcelain bottle wrapped in the sleeves was opened, and the fine powder was sprinkled on him little by little. Arrow wound on the back.

"Stop it. You'll live. I won't let you die."

"You hug me like this, Gu Xinglang will be jealous again when he sees it below. That jealousy. I've never seen a man so narrow-minded."

He seemed to be smiling, but Ruan Xueyin couldn't. She carefully put away the porcelain bottle so that no one would see the clues. In order to make it appear that this hug was just a long hug of farewell, she continued to hug, and at the same time whispered in his ear:

"But you still have to let everyone think you are dead. I will propose a burial with the rites of a king, Jingting Song will definitely help, and both of them will agree. They must respect you enough if they want to divide this country from north to south. Just now The pills given to you can dilute the poison of Ming Lou Cui," she said, stuffing something into his back waist in a hugging position,

"There are still four pills left. The poison is so painful that you can't live without it. You must endure it. Sometimes fainting seems to be dying. You have to persevere. Go back and wait for me in the grave."

"It's me, I'm also narrow-minded." Ruan Zhong continued to say what he said before, murmuring like a dream, "If you were mine, I wouldn't allow any man to touch you, and I wouldn't even look at him much. I really envy him."

"Did you hear that? Brother Fifth," Ruan Xueyin panicked and hugged him tightly, "Do you remember?"

"Snow sound."
