Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 158 Decisive Ling Shaoyang's Sorrow!
I followed him to the northernmost point of this oasis, under the snow-capped mountains.

Fine snow foam floats in the air, and the tip of the nose can smell the cold ice and snow. There is a huge lake wave under this snow mountain, which has condensed into ice at this moment, reflecting the towering snow mountain, as if one side is crystal clear mirror.

On the other side of the lake, there is a vast snowfield, but on this side, it is full of trees.

All the people brought firewood, wine and meat from their homes and gathered them by the lake. They piled up all the firewood and formed a small mountain. The wine and meat were randomly placed around the firewood volcano to form a A huge circle was formed, everyone sat on the ground, some people had already started drinking and eating meat, talking and laughing loudly.

Seeing this scene, I faintly felt that they seemed to be holding some kind of event, everyone seemed so excited, and some beautiful girls, as soon as they saw Helian City, they held a golden cup to toast, but he came not only Refused, took it and drank it.

Gradually, the alcohol reeked.

I was still looking at the majestic snow scene in front of me, it was so beautiful, and He Liancheng stood beside me, pointing to the snow mountain and said: "That is called Goddess Peak, the sacred mountain in our hearts. The snow field behind the mountain is also our territory. There are also tens of thousands of our people, but what the people of Xuanwu Kingdom will never forget is the grassland, the joy of galloping freely and flying freely here. Tonight, everything here will belong to me!"

My heart moved, and I turned to look at him: "You, are you going to inherit the throne?"

He smiled and nodded.

It turned out that this was the most special day in his life.

I thought about it, and solemnly said to him, "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Today is your big day, and I haven't prepared any gifts for you."

He glanced at me with a faint smile in his eyes, and after a long time, he whispered: "It's good that you are here."

At this moment, a loud voice was suddenly heard: "The emperor is here! The queen is here!"

We turned our heads at the same time, and saw that the crowd retreated to both sides immediately. On the avenue paved with crimson long carpets, people surrounded by sixteen people slowly walked towards the throne carried by sixteen people.

The throne was made of pure gold. Although the sky was getting dark and it was almost dusk, the golden throne still exuded a dazzling golden light. It was carved with coiled snakes and black turtles, lifelike, and the eyes were inlaid with rubies. It looks refined and elegant, noble and luxurious.

On the throne, Emperor Xuanwu and Empress Xiao wore grand gowns, with golden crowns to tie their hair and jade belts around their waists, looking solemn and majestic.

At this time, the people on both sides of the avenue knelt down and cheered for their emperor and queen. The congratulatory sound was deafening, reaching the sky and echoing among the clouds.

The throne was placed on the high platform built by the lake, and the two saints who were high above could easily look down on anyone, only to see Xiao Wanyu slowly stretching out a white hand, and the surrounding immediately became quiet.

"ignition."

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of guards walked towards the pile of firewood with torches in their hands, and threw the torches down at the same time. The firewood soaked in oil was immediately ignited, and the flames shot up into the sky, making a "bang" sound in the air. With a muffled sound, the blazing flames rose more than ten feet high.

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu's eyes had already fallen on Heliancheng, he looked at his son who was handsome and handsome, and there was an appreciative smile in his chaotic eyes, and said: "Come here, my son, the future king of Xuanwu! "

He Liancheng looked back at me, then smiled, and walked towards his father.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but the flames soaring into the sky illuminated everyone's eyes full of hope, watching the future king slowly walk in front of the two saints, lifted his robes, and knelt at their feet .

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu took out something and walked in front of Helian City together with Empress Xiao.It was a cane, made of pure gold, inlaid with pearls, gemstones and emerald green jade, it was extremely luxurious, and the top of the cane was Xuanwu.

This, is the basalt stick? !
I know that each country has its own etiquette for the Zen position, and after the Xuanwu Kingdom was assimilated by the prairie kingdoms, their etiquette tended to be the customs of the prairie, and the handing over of the scepter was a sign of their succession of thrones.

He Liancheng raised his head, looked at his father and mother handing over the scepter to his hands, those snake eyes seemed to be illuminated by the dazzling golden light emitted by the scepter.

He lowered his head, raised his hands high, and took over the scepter.

At this time, a high-pitched voice shouted loudly: "Helian City, our king! King of Xuanwu!"

He Liancheng got up slowly, looked down at the scepter, turned around suddenly, and raised the scepter high to all the people under his feet.

At this moment, everyone knelt down and fell to the ground.

I, still standing in the crowd, looked at that tall man, holding a basalt stick in his hand, accepting the worship of everyone solemnly and solemnly, and there were people kneeling beside me.

There is an indescribable feeling boiling in my heart.

This is power?
This is the power to make everyone bend their backs?

No wonder, no wonder people, from generation to generation, chase after each other, and don't care about blood flowing into rivers and corpses all over the field.

Was that what Xuanyuan Xingsi thought back then?
At this time, Empress Xiao said to He Liancheng again: "Cheng'er, now that you are the king of this land, you should choose your queen, so that our Xuanwu blood will continue and our descendants will spread all over the world! "

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and several beautiful women walked out of the crowd.

These girls, with beautiful appearance and graceful figure, are somewhat similar to Empress Xiao. It seems that they should all be the daughters of the Xiao family, and the empress family will not be left alone.

I still stood where I was, watching with cold eyes, only to find that Heliancheng's eyes suddenly fell on me.

Empress Xiao seemed to have sensed something, and called him in a low voice: "Cheng'er!"

He Liancheng didn't seem to hear it at all, got up and walked towards me.

At this moment, everyone opened their eyes wide in astonishment, let out a low sigh of shock, and watched He Liancheng walk in front of me, while I still looked at him indifferently.

"Do you want to?"

He opened his mouth to ask me, and the scepter in his hand was already in front of my eyes.

I looked at him silently, looking at the gleaming basalt stick, although I didn't look back, I could feel everyone's stunned astonishment, as well as the jealous eyes of the girls of the Xiao family.

This is probably what all the women here dream of.

I said calmly, "You know my answer."

Unsurprisingly, he lowered his head and smiled, neither disappointed nor depressed, as if everything was within his expectations: "It's okay, I can wait."

I frowned slightly.

I promised to stay here, not for real, but for Shang Zhuzi, but facing him who knows everything, I suddenly felt a little uneasy.

I know that I have no intention to move. It is more like a joke to me to talk about feelings after getting to this point.

But I can't grasp it, what will be the future of staying here?
I thought about it, and finally I should make it clear to him, so I said, "Heliancheng, I—"

But before I could finish my words, I was overshadowed by a sharp voice. The voice was filled with incomparable horror, and it rang out in people's ears——

"The palace—the palace is on fire!"

This shrill cry was like a bolt from the blue, and the crowd fell silent, and then immediately turned their heads to look behind them.

Behind us, the majestic and majestic imperial palace has really been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. The fire is raging, and a huge fire dragon rises up, roaring loudly, as if it is going to burn the sky, and half of the sky is illuminated It's red!
"Do not--!"

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and all the people rushed towards the direction of the palace. He Liancheng and I were immediately dispersed by the crazy crowd.

"Thinking! Thinking!"

His roar rang out in the crowd, and he could faintly be seen walking towards me desperately and reaching out to me, but the scene was completely chaotic at this time, and the crazy flow of people couldn't take care of these at all, and exhausted all their strength. He couldn't even come to me.

"Xingsi, be careful, don't get stepped on!"

I gritted my teeth, and carefully followed the flow of people towards that side, but at this moment, I suddenly felt a pair of hands stretched out from behind me, and gave me a sharp push.

"what!"

I took a staggered step and nearly fell to the ground. I turned around in a hurry, but saw a few beautiful faces looking at me coldly.

Yes, those girls from the Xiao family, they want to—

Before I could react, they had already shot again, and several pairs of fists hit my body. I was caught off guard and fell down all of a sudden.

Immediately, a black and dense crowd rushed towards me like a tide, and countless feet trampled towards me.

Are you really going to die here?

I closed my eyes in despair.

At this moment, a pair of familiar hands suddenly stretched out and grabbed my waist. I let out a low cry in a panic, and felt myself spinning, my feet stepped on the air, and the sound of tigers and tigers sounded in my ears.

This is--

I suddenly opened my eyes.

At this moment, the heart seems to stop beating.

In front of him is a familiar face, familiar raised eyebrows, familiar high nose, familiar thin lips, everything is so familiar, like that dream, which has never had a head, has never woken up, and he Once in my life.

"Are you okay?" His hoarse voice rang in his ear.

Ling Shaoyang!
Why did he come here?Why did he come to save me?Isn't he dead?he……

Countless questions, countless doubts flooded in like a tide at this moment, but I couldn't ask anything, I could only open my eyes wide and look at this familiar face, and he also looked at me. In those eyes, Full of heavy stuff.

"..."

I couldn't say anything, I just looked at him.

He flew up with me in his arms, jumped onto a high platform, and was out of danger for the time being, and only then did I realize that being held tightly in his arms, the two bodies fit so tightly together, it seemed as if I could feel His breath enveloped me again.

Nightmare breath.

I recovered and subconsciously wanted to push him away, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I saw his face twitch, and his whole body trembled, as if he was in severe pain.

Only then did I realize that there was still a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, and there was a hint of pink inside.

Yes, that knife at the beginning?

At this moment, the people around had spotted him, and the guards immediately shouted: "Someone broke into the palace, be careful!"

"Grab that man, grab him!"

Those guards and angry people immediately aimed at him. Several guards had already drawn their swords and rushed towards us frantically, while those civilians also picked up sticks and rushed towards us.

Looking at this scene, my heart suddenly became cold.

But at this moment, his voice sounded beside his ear - "I know, you don't want me to touch you again."

"...!"

I turned my head and looked at him, and he also turned his head to look at me, with heavy pain on his face, and said, "But I promise, this is the last time."

"..."

"Let's kill it!"

When his hands wrapped around my waist again, I gritted my teeth and didn't speak, but he took a long breath and said nothing. With a dragon cry, a silver light suddenly pulled out from his waist, like a dragon, trembling straight in the wind.

That's - shadow sword? !

I widened my eyes in astonishment, and looked up at him, but he had no time to say anything, he hugged me tightly with one hand, and brandished a long sword with a cold light in the other, leading me into the tight encirclement.

Many years later, I will still see the fight that night in my dreams.

It was the first time I knew that this man had such swordsmanship, the long sword seemed to have gained life in his hands, and he swam like a dragon, blood and flesh flew everywhere he passed, screaming incessantly.

All the people are going to put us to death, in the shadow of swords and swords, we fight again and again, our whole body is stained red with blood, his breathing is getting heavier and heavier, and the arm holding me is getting harder and harder .Seeing another group of people in front of him, he stepped forward without fear, and the long sword turned into dozens of silver lights and swept out like a waterfall. Those people fell to the ground before they even had time to scream.

This is his true strength? !
Trembling, I slowly raised my head, and looked at the face that was soaked in sweat and blood, and illuminated by the fire, which was so sharp and angular, so handsome that it was almost weird.

He gritted his teeth, his face was terribly pale, and he hugged me and ran across the road without saying a word. The fire spread to both sides of the entire road. All the houses and streets were engulfed in a sea of ​​flames at this moment. The fire seems to be chasing our footsteps, where the fire dragon will go.

He also brought some people, but the number was not large, and he was already in a fierce battle at the moment, so he couldn't be taken care of at all.

After running for a long distance, he finally seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He stopped and took a few breaths. At this moment, a wooden stake next to him collapsed with a bang, straight Hit him on the top of the head.

"careful!"

I yelled out.

At this moment, he hugged me and turned around abruptly, avoiding the attack of the flames, raised one leg high, caught the wooden stake abruptly, kicked it out forcefully, smashed it behind and chased us on the crowd.

I was still in shock, and looked at him with wide eyes, and he looked down at me with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You—"

He seemed to want to say something, but it was too late, the people who were chasing us immediately surrounded us, and he faced them again, slashing and killing them desperately, trying to escape.

However, he is only one person after all.

If I'm not wrong, he should be carrying the pain in his chest and leading the troops here, and the large group of people should have been tricked by Helian City and led to another line by A Lang and Luo Muna. They have absolutely no choice.

I gritted my teeth and let go of the hand that was holding onto his skirt.

"Ling Shaoyang, let's go!"

……

"I won't go back with you!"

……

"I know who you are here for, you are thinking about Xuanyuan Xingsi, but I am no longer her, nor the person you met eight years ago. The grievances between me and you are wiped out. I don't want to see you again, you go !"

I felt his breath suffocate, seemed to be in severe pain, and looked down at me.

A low voice, like a voice from the bottom of my heart, spread from my tight chest to my ears, and said slowly: "I know you are not her."

"In Nanyang City, I have already recognized it and admitted defeat."

I opened my eyes wide and looked at him.

There was a smile on his face that I had never seen before, so calm and breezy, as if at this moment, he had seen through everything and let go of everything.

Then he said something I couldn't understand——

"Xingsi, this is where I suffer the most."

My heart skipped a beat, but he had already shut his mouth tightly, and rushed into the crowd again, screaming for killing, he walked all the way, fighting desperately all the way, struggling but persisting towards the end of the oasis, the deep river valley Walk on the only iron chain bridge.

Seeing that the Chain Bridge was already in front of him, a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes. At this moment, I suddenly felt a deep fear. Amidst the screams of killing in the burning city, a cry suddenly sounded. The ear-piercing sound came through the air, with the sound of tigers and tigers.

His hand that was holding me tightened suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he staggered and almost fell down.

"What’s wrong with you?!"

I subconsciously stretched out my hand to support him, and when I looked down, I was stunned.

A long arrow shot through his ankle!
And looking back slowly along the arrow feathers, I saw a tall figure standing resolutely on a high platform not far away, and he slowly put down the bow in his hand. A different person, like the towering snow mountain behind him, ruthless.

Helian City!
I looked back at Ling Shaoyang hastily, his face was terribly pale at the moment, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he gritted his teeth profusely with sweat.

At this moment, my heart also sank.

His physical strength has reached its limit. If he is not injured, if he can cross that bridge, he may still have a chance, but now——

At this moment, I saw the long sword in his clenched hand, let out a roar of anger, and suddenly put his arms around my waist and jumped up. I only felt that my body was like a paper kite with a broken string, following He flew around, and when he took a closer look, he was already several tens of feet away.

I knew that his physical strength was almost exhausted, the sweat on his face kept falling like beads of broken string, and the wound on his ankle was bleeding horizontally, leaving spots of blood along the way.

I don't know why I still feel heartbroken for this man at this moment, but it really hurts. When I spoke, my voice was choked up: "Ling Shaoyang, stop beating, stop beating!"

"fine."

He gritted his teeth, and heard another scream of killing coming from behind him, He Liancheng had already pulled out the Qingyuan sword, and walked towards us.

He grabbed my hand and said, "Go!"

After speaking, take me and run away.

"Don't let them go, chase after them!"

"Don't let them cross the bridge!"

While running, listening to the angry roar behind him and his heavy panting, every step was like stepping on the tip of a knife. We finally got on the chain bridge and ran desperately, but the people behind were still chasing after us. Reluctant to give up, it seemed that they were about to run to the opposite side of the bridge, and those people also ran to the middle of the bridge.

At this moment, he suddenly said: "Xingsi, you must go back! Go back, go back to him!"

When I said that "he", I clearly felt his tone pause.

Before he could open his mouth, he felt the vest being pushed hard by his palm, and his whole body suddenly floated forward.

The body seemed to be supported by something, and it floated a long way in the air, and the strength was just right, and it just landed on the opposite valley. I staggered and fell to the ground, and hurriedly looked back——

He has already turned around, swung his long sword, and slashed back the way he came!
"Ling Shaoyang—!"

I yelled, "Come back!"

"Come on!"

With a roar, he had already charged into the crowd, and slashed all those who were chasing him under his sword. At this moment, his whole body was stained red with blood, and his eyes were almost bloodshot. He was forced to go back, and he stood at the other end of the valley again, holding on to the bridge, not letting anyone take a step forward.

"Ling Shaoyang!"

Looking at his back, I just felt heartbroken, tears poured out completely uncontrollably: "I beg you, come back, come back!"

It seemed to go back to that night again, he still made my heart ache, made me despair, I cried desperately, begging him, but he never gave me a chance to redeem.

I gritted my teeth and stood up, about to run to his side, when I suddenly heard his unusually calm voice.

"Thinking."

I was taken aback and looked up at him.

In the sea of ​​flames, only his back could be seen standing upright like a mountain. He slowly turned his head and showed me a faint, almost invisible smile.

Then, the sword light flashed!
Hearing the crisp sound of "Dang", he cut off the chain bridge with a sword, and the chain bridge spanning the river valley like a long dragon collapsed suddenly, falling heavily from the other end to the valley on this side, sending out "Boom" There was a huge bang, which made the ground under my feet tremble.

At this moment, I completely lost my response.

Across the insurmountable chasm, the soaring flames, and all the people rushing to kill him, I looked at that man, the man who once feared, hated, and hurt me the most. He cut himself off. But he gave me a way out; he fought desperately with hundreds of people, his clothes were already soaked in blood, and I watched his originally vigorous and agile body become slower and slower .

"Go! Let's go!"

His roar came and echoed in the valley, deafening.

I bit my lower lip tightly, tears ran wildly, blurred my vision, I couldn't see anything clearly, I only heard one after another screams, one after another fighting, echoing in my ears, as if it would never end .

Taking one last look at that figure, I slowly turned around and left.

Stepping on the grassland, the raging flames behind me illuminate the way I came from. It turned out to be so deep and far away, but behind me, this oasis under the snow-capped mountains, the greatest miracle of the Xuanwu people, behind me, slowly reduced to ashes.

Walking step by step, when I finally walked down the hillside and faced the endless grassland, I suddenly heard a tragic roar from behind.

The roar was deafening, and it went straight into the sky, and it seemed that echoes from the sky could still be heard.

"Xingsi—!"
