Chapter 44 The Death of Pearl
Chapter 44 The Death of Pearl
Emperor Hong died long ago, his eyes stared in astonishment, and he did not rest in peace.The killer ruthlessly cut Hongdi's neck and killed him with a single sword.It's just that the king of a country was assassinated in the palace, which is by no means a trivial matter.Hongdi's death was too sudden and too unexpected.
Dong Xiaotian stretched out his hands and slowly touched Hongdi's eyes, allowing him to rest in peace.
"Royal father..." he shouted, his voice choked with sobs.Trembling, he knelt down slowly.
Outside the hall, guards guarded the entire hall.
Eunuch De wiped away his tears and walked to Dong Xiaotian's side, "Your Highness, you must express your condolences. The emperor was killed by a thief. You must not let the thief go."
"This hall knows." Dong Xiaotian said in a deep voice, unable to bow down.
Eunuch De stepped forward to help him up, and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
This sentence stopped Dong Xiaotian from asking.
He never expected that Emperor Hong would die tragically on the second day of his wedding.He originally thought that if he survived Prince Rui's ambition rebellion, everything would be safe and sound.At least, it will be safe and sound for a short time.But who knew that things happened so fast and so abruptly.
"This matter must not be publicized." Dong Xiaotian pondered for a long time before speaking.
Eunuch De nodded, "I understand."
Eunuch De turned to look at Emperor Hong, saw that his hands were covered with blood, and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe for Emperor Hong.He held Hongdi's hand and wiped it gently.While wiping, he muttered, "Your majesty, you left in such a hurry that this servant didn't even have time to serve you well, servant..."
Dong Xiaotian looked melancholy, and slowly looked at Emperor Hong.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, maybe he saw something, and was stunned.
Dong Xiaotian couldn't believe it, and his body stiffened even more, his mind was completely blank.Huge darkness rushed towards him, as if he had been hit hard.He squinted his eyes and stared at the half-character on the silk, gritted his teeth and hated him angrily, and read out the three words, "Feng, Zhan, Xiu!"
"Lord Zhan?" Eunuch De turned his head in astonishment when he heard him call out the name of Zhan Wang.He also saw Dong Xiaotian staring at a certain place obsessively, following his gaze, and glanced back suspiciously.
And on the silk, half of the characters were written mottled with blood, which was the word "Zhan".
Isn't this just half of the word "war"?
※※※
In Pingle Palace, Feng Zhanxiu and Mingzhu woke up at dawn.
At this moment, Mingzhu was packing her luggage and preparing to leave in the afternoon.
She didn't let the maids in the palace intervene, she insisted on tidying up by herself.After tossing for a while, I saw that she was busy.
Feng Zhanxiu sat alone on a chair beside him, silent.His eyes followed her around, wherever she went, he looked there.After being left out for a long time, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.He got up sullenly, and walked to her in front of her, his whole body was already gloomy.
Mingzhu only felt his tall figure pressing down, looked up at him, and shouted, "Go away! I want to pack my things."
"What are you doing?" he asked angrily.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at the dressing table, where the jewelry box given to Xia Er was still there.She hurried over to pick it up, turned around and said, "My lord, you didn't see, I'm sorting things out."
"I don't want any of these things. When I get back to the palace, I will buy you what you want again." After Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, he started to shake out all the clothes she stuffed into the box.
Immediately, colorful clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Mingzhu was speechless, clutching the jewelry box with one hand, and glaring at him with the other on her hip, "My lord! What are you doing! I've been trying to figure it out for a long time!"
"The king said it just now." Feng Zhan stretched out his long arms, put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.He rested his head on her shoulder, like a child leaning on someone.A strong desire for dominance exudes from the whole body, and the domineering and arrogant surrounds her, wrapping her in a circle.
Mingzhu seemed to be used to his sudden shamelessness and childishness, she felt helpless, and said softly, "If you have money, don't waste it, you can still wear these clothes."
"Waste is waste." He muttered.
"you……"
At this moment, Eunuch De rushed into the palace with a few young eunuchs, "My lord, my princess, the emperor ordered you two to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Mingzhu blushed and hurriedly pushed him away.
Feng Zhanxiu didn't let her push away, he hugged her tightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, so I'll go with him."
"The slave will lead the way for the prince and princess."
Mingzhu smiled shyly, seeing Eunuch De turn around, she immediately gave him a sideways glance.
But he didn't take her warning seriously, and still went his own way.It's just that the hand that was originally around her shoulders reached down and held her hand instead.Beneath the wide long sleeves, his large hands are dry and strong.
Mingzhu lowered her head and silently followed him out of Pingle Palace.
The two followed Eunuch De into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Zhanxiu's eyes flickered with depth, and he noticed something was wrong.He remained calm, let alone saying a word.
The little eunuch stopped outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Eunuch De led the two of them into the hall.
Mingzhu is a little strange, why don't you use the transmission today?
The two stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation side by side, but did not see Emperor Hong.
Eunuch De turned around and bowed to the two, and shouted with a smile, "My lord, please wait a moment, the emperor said to see the princess first."
Mingzhu was a little curious, and shook Feng Zhanxiu's hand, signaling him to let go.
Feng Zhanxiu gripped it hard, but finally let go.
Only now did Mingzhu walk to De Gonggong's side. She was about to speak, but De Gonggong grabbed her wrist.Eunuch De dragged Mingzhu to the other side of the hall in shock, shouting in a shrill voice, "Quick! Close the door quickly! Take down the thief!"
What?thief?who?Mingzhu was stunned.
All of a sudden, guards rushed in from all directions.
The door of the main hall was closed heavily, only to see a crowd of black crows, and tall figures of guards crowded in.
All those swords were pointed at the same person - Feng Zhanxiu.
Mingzhu looked at Feng Zhanxiu in a panic, but saw him standing alone in the middle of the sword.He smiled fearlessly, but the cold blood and cruelty in his eyes gradually accumulated.She hurriedly turned her head to look at Eunuch De again, and yelled uneasily, "What's going on? Why did you arrest him? Let him go!"
She shook Eunuch De's hand vigorously, trying to run to him.
But he was stopped by Eunuch De and persuaded, "Princess! You can't go! He is the thief who harmed the emperor!"
"Father?" Mingzhu was stunned, and her eyes widened.
What exactly is going on!why?Who killed the emperor?Feng Zhanxiu?No!This is impossible!
Mingzhu roared, "I want to see my father, let me meet my father! No way!"
"It's late." A deep male voice came from the inner hall.
Dong Xiaotian walked out of the palace slowly, his elegant handsome appearance was already hazy.A pair of pitch-black eyes slowly swept across the hall, and their eyes touched Feng Zhanxiu, exposing the fierce light of hatred, which was extremely bright.Finally, his eyes finally settled on Mingzhu.He didn't speak, but his steps were heavy.
"Brother Xiaotian..." Mingzhu murmured, her thoughts were suddenly in a mess.
Dong Xiaotian's tall and straight figure walked up to her and stopped slowly.
He lowered his head, his eyes were suddenly as gentle as water, "Mingzhu, Father is no longer here."
"No...here..." Mingzhu shuddered as she read what he said.She regained her senses suddenly, grabbed Dong Xiaotian's arms, and asked eagerly, "Father is not here? Why is he not here?"
"Father was assassinated by thieves, and he has already gone." Dong Xiaotian said the truth with a sad expression.
When Mingzhu heard it, her body couldn't help shaking, and she took a few steps back.
The one who loves her, the one who takes care of her, the one who always holds her in his arms, the one who always calls "My Pearl"... Her father, has he gone?In front of Mingzhu's eyes is Hongdi's benevolent face, no matter whether he is her biological father or not, no matter how much right and wrong there is...
"Mingzhu, come, come to me."
"My precious Pearl, come here. I am here. Are you obedient these days? Do you miss your father?"
"It was I who wronged you."
"Silly boy. Don't cry. Are you blaming me?"
……
Why, she is just a lonely soul temporarily living in this body.But why, her eyes were still red, and she couldn't help crying.
Is that how it feels to lose a loved one?That feeling of heartbreak.
Mingzhu burst into tears, crying silently.
Dong Xiaotian stretched out his hand movingly, and embraced her in his arms.He gently patted her, and said hoarsely in her ear, "Last night, a killer assassinated the father. Before he died, the father wrote half of the word 'war' in blood and covered it under the palm of his hand. The facts are true, Feng Zhan Xiu killed the royal father."
"..." Before Mingzhu could get rid of her sadness, she heard these terrible words again.
However, the scenes of getting along with Emperor Hong flashed in her mind. She turned her head blankly and looked at Feng Zhanxiu who was surrounded by guards.He said that he hated the Daxing Dynasty, and that his parents' death was all because of the Daxing Dynasty, but, but... two conflicting thoughts intertwined in her mind, and she lost her vision.
Dong Xiaotian held Mingzhu in his arms, frowned, and shouted in a deep voice, "Take him down!"
"Yes!" The guards replied in unison.
The tip of the knife stabbed at Feng Zhanxiu, approaching step by step.
Feng Zhanxiu narrowed his eyes, a pair of sharp eagle eyes burst out with incomparable sharpness.He laughed suddenly, raised his head and laughed loudly.His laughter was so cheerful that everyone was astonished.He gradually stopped laughing, just stood there, staring at Mingzhu.The fundus of his eyes was her red eyes from crying.
"Dong Xiaotian, I knew that this king should kill you." He whispered this sentence lightly.
"Heh!" Dong Xiaotian sneered, "Take it!"
The guards attacked him again, "Yes!"
Mingzhu looked at Feng Zhanxiu who was besieged by all the guards in the hall, and his arrogant laughter just now echoed in her ears.But she only felt miserable, and the laughter was more like self-mockery.Her eyes were blurred, but she turned around to face him and yelled, "Shut—hand—"
The guards froze and hesitated.
Mingzhu said tremblingly, "Feng Zhanxiu, tell me."
Answer me, answer me quickly.Feng Zhanxiu, answer me quickly.
I just want to hear your answer.
Feng Zhanxiu stood where he was, without answering for a long time.He raised the corners of his mouth, and his eye-catching face became more and more evil, with hatred, grief and indignation intertwined in his eyes.He took a step forward, and the guards also took a step cautiously.He suddenly looked melancholy and locked her tightly.
"It's not me." He said these three words involuntarily, the corners of his mouth curved upwards.
The pupils dilated in an instant, and the blurred vision gradually became clear. Mingzhu and him looked at the hall, as if there were only him and her left in the world.
With tears streaming down her face, Mingzhu said with a smile, "I believe in you."
"Pearl!" Dong Xiaotian roared and grabbed her arm tightly.
Mingzhu bent and knelt down in front of Dong Xiaotian, she lowered her head and said, "Brother Xiaotian, it's not him, please trust me and him too."
"You..." Dong Xiaotian's hands froze in mid-air, and he looked at the little figure kneeling in front of him in frustration.
He clenched his fists violently and shouted sharply, "This palace doesn't believe him!"
"What about me?" Mingzhu raised her head slowly, looking at him sincerely, "Brother Xiaotian doesn't believe me either."
Dong Xiaotian smiled wryly in his heart, his clenched fist loosened.
This is the second time, in front of her, she defends him like this for the second time.
"I believe in pearls." Dong Xiaotian said quietly.
With tears in her eyes, Mingzhu heard him say again, "But this palace doesn't believe in Feng Zhanxiu's wife!"
boom--
Mingzhu froze all over, the words just now sounded like a thunder in her mind.These eleven short words were like sharp knives, cutting towards her heart abruptly.She stared blankly at him, at the strange yet familiar Dong Xiaotian in front of her, and there were sounds of emptiness in her ears.
He said he believed in pearls.
But he said he didn't believe in Feng Zhanxiu's wife.
Today's Dong Xiaotian, her elder brother Xiaotian, has unknowingly become such a strange person.
What he said was not just a matter of believing or not, but also a choice for her.He was forcing her to make a choice, letting her choose to be the princess Ye Mingzhu of the Daxing Dynasty, or Feng Zhanxiu's wife Ye Mingzhu.How could such cruel words come out of his mouth.
Brother Xiaotian...
Mingzhu's expression was already dull, her eyes were empty.
"My hall is asking you now, are you Mingzhu, or Feng Zhanxiu's wife?" Dong Xiaotian asked, his voice was so calm, but the last word still trembled.
In front of Dong Xiaotian was that clingy and cute little girl, that lively and innocent girl, that pearl who relied on her in everything.It's not the pearl that defends others over and over again.He needs her to tell himself clearly who she wants to be and whose side she wants to stand on.
The king of a country must not be affectionate or emotional.
But he still moved, this is the last time, the last time for her to choose.
Dong Xiaotian waited quietly for her answer.
Feng Zhanxiu is unruly and unruly, but his eyes are filled with infinite desire.He seemed to be waiting, like waiting for the only sunshine in his life.Sword eyebrows gradually frowned, and his gloomy expression showed a little anxiety.The originally fluttering corners of her lips finally froze.
The hall was silent.
After a while, Mingzhu moved her lips and uttered a single syllable.
Under everyone's attention, she choked up her voice and said in panic, "I'm very sad that my father was killed. But no one knows what the truth is. Only those half a word can't fully prove that it is The prince assassinated it. Maybe the murderer left it on purpose. And last night, the prince was with me all the time."
"Mingzhu begs His Royal Highness to investigate strictly." In the last sentence, her voice was three parts trembling, three parts firm, three parts affectionate, and the remaining part was endlessly lonely.
His Royal Highness...
When Dong Xiaotian heard this address, a layer of gray dimmed his eyes.The stone hanging in the air in his heart was smashed down, causing his heart to bleed.
He just stared at her deeply, with a wound in his eyes.
His intimidating male voice sounded in the hall, "Feng Zhanxiu! This hall orders you to hand over the soldier talisman now! If you didn't conspire and assassinate, then hand over the soldier talisman to show your innocence!"
Mingzhu turned her head to look at Feng Zhanxiu with such scorching eyes.
"Hehe." Feng Zhanxiu chuckled, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! Soldiers can be handed over!"
Although he said this to Dong Xiaotian, his eyes were always on Mingzhu without hesitation.
Ye Mingzhu, I have never compromised with anyone in my life, and I have never taken orders from anyone.This time, do you know that I am not compromising with the Daxing Dynasty, but with you.Soldiers are not important to me at all.Feng Zhanxiu thought to himself, and there was a moment of tenderness in his eyes.
Sure enough, he took out the soldier talisman from his pocket, raised his hand and raised the soldier talisman high.
"Give me the soldier talisman!" Dong Xiaotian saw the soldier talisman commanding [-] elite soldiers, and shouted, still unwilling to let go.
Mingzhu originally raised her heart, but after seeing the tenderness in his eyes, she finally let go of that heart.
Feng Zhanxiu waved his hand and threw the soldier talisman into the air.
Dong Xiaotian immediately flew up, holding the soldier talisman tightly with one hand.His white figure spun up and landed lightly on the ground.It's just that because of the internal force, there was a tightness in his chest and he coughed a few times.His faint cough came into Mingzhu's ears, and she turned her head to look at him worriedly.
"Soldier Talisman..." Dong Xiaotian squinted his eyes, staring at the Soldier Talisman in his hand, and murmured.
He used to think about it and tried every means to get the soldier talisman, but he didn't expect it to be so easy now.And the past years, like a picture scroll that he didn't want to recall, stabbed him like a needle.He suddenly lowered his head to glance at Mingzhu, then reached out his hand in a frenzy and grabbed her from the ground.
"..." Mingzhu was in pain from his grasp, her arm seemed to be broken.
Dong Xiaotian like this was something she had never seen before.
Feng Zhan Xiudun showed aloofness and ruthlessness, with a decisive breath exuding from his body, he said in a cold voice, "Let her go."
"Father has already left, I can't lose you anymore." Dong Xiaotian said softly to Mingzhu with his eyes like water.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Mingzhu was stunned by the momentary sadness.
Dong Xiaotian kissed her lightly on the forehead, the warmth was frightening.Then, with a sudden force, she turned and pushed her towards Eunuch De, "Take care of her!"
"Your servant obeys!" Eunuch De hastily stretched out his hand and pulled Mingzhu aside to keep away from the blood.
Dong Xiaotian smiled ferociously, showing his killing intent. He looked straight at Feng Zhanxiu, and said in a deep voice, "Feng Zhanxiu intends to rebel, come, someone, take him down!"
"Yes!" The guards roared loudly, and they all rushed towards him.
Feng Zhanxiu was like the king of beasts besieged by hunters, his eyes were red and bloodthirsty, the hatred rose up at this moment, and he could no longer let it go.He responded to the attacks of the guards with his bare hands, blocked the knife and gun with one hand, plunged the handle of the knife into the belly of the guard with his backhand, and pulled it out forcefully.
The intestines were pulled out together with blood.
For a while, blood was dripping, and the smell of blood filled the air, making the scene disgusting.
Feng Zhanxiu was so frantic that he slashed and killed the continuously crowded guards, that cold breath mixed with hatred all over the sky made people tremble all over.With a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, he was completely defiant.He met gods and killed gods, met demons and demons, and nothing in the world could stop him.
It's just those eyes, full of melancholy amidst the violence.
"Don't!" Mingzhu shouted loudly, "Stop! Don't do this!"
"Brother Xiaotian, no one knows who the father is who murdered the emperor! Don't do it! Don't fight anymore! Everyone stop!" Mingzhu shouted in a panic, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Don't fight! Brother Xiaotian, you speak In a word! Didn’t you ask him to hand in the soldier talisman? Hasn’t he already handed in the soldier talisman? Brother Xiaotian!”
Brother Xiaotian, brother Xiaotian, brother Xiaotian.
The shouts filled his ears, and Dong Xiaotian's heart tightened when he heard it, but he just gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.He doesn't look at her, ignores her completely.He can't be soft-hearted at this moment, and can't be shaken by her pleading anymore, he can't, can't, can't!So I had no choice but to close my eyes and let her cry.
He didn't want to lose her, and he wanted to get rid of the threat of Feng Zhanxiu.
At this moment, it is already the best opportunity.
Dong Xiaotian's eyebrows froze suddenly, and he resolutely shouted, "Kill—no—forgive—!"
The roars of the guards shook the sky, and the sounds of killing, swords and howling circled in the hall.Feng Zhanxiu faced the battle all by himself, but his expression was still calm, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled wickedly. This arrogant gesture made the besieging guards feel a burst of fear.
He suddenly bent down and swung the knife up. With inner strength, the sword flew past the surrounding guards.
Qi Jin passed along the tip of the knife, cutting the guards' throats one by one.
"Uh—" There was no time to shout, and the guards fell backwards.
Dong Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so strong.
Is this human?It's just as scary as a monster, completely invincible.It was as if he could deal with thousands of people by himself.Such an aura, such blood, such a man with outstanding martial arts and invincibility, must not be left behind!
Dong Xiaotian squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and drew out his sword, and rushed into the siege.
"Feng Zhanxiu! Today is your death day!" He roared coldly, his sword light was cold.
Feng Zhanxiu raised the knife and threw it hard, the blade pierced through the guard's chest, piercing his heart abruptly.As soon as he grasped the sword, the evil facial features showed colorful light, and the deep locks in his eyes became more and more condensed.He gently raised his hand, and the blade of the sword caught Dong Xiaotian's oncoming attack.
"Your Highness, you are still too weak." Feng Zhanxiu opened his thin lips lightly, and spit out such a sentence.
Dong Xiaotian looked solemn and his eyes were burning.
The powerful inner strength spun a whirlwind from the soles of the two people's feet, shaking the guards to a halt.
In front of Mingzhu is the scene of Feng Zhanxiu and Dong Xiaotian fighting each other with their lives.The black hair was disheveled in the whirlwind, dancing in a gorgeous gesture.The bodies of the two rose into the air and turned over.That pair of black clothes, and that pair of white clothes, lightly represent two opposing colors.
"Eunuch De, let me go! Eunuch De, let go!" Mingzhu was frightened and struggled, "Brother Xiaotian, Feng Zhanxiu, stop!"
"Princess, you can't go! It's dangerous!" Eunuch De tried desperately to stop him.
Mingzhu panicked and turned her gaze back to Eunuch De, a ray of light flashed in her eyes.She clenched her hands into fists, and with all her strength, she punched him in the eyes.
"Ah—" Eunuch De wailed, and loosened his hand half a bit.
Mingzhu pushed him away forcefully, breaking free from Eunuch De's restraint.She turned around, rushed into the center of the hall surrounded by many guards, and rushed towards Feng Zhanxiu and Dong Xiaotian who were fighting fiercely.The whirlwind created by the internal conflict between the two was too strong, and Mingzhu struggled to move forward.
"Wind, battle, repair..."
"Xiao, Tian, brother, brother...
"Stop hitting! Stop it, all of you!"
Eyes could not be fully opened, Mingzhu raised her arms to block the whirlwind.She walked very hard, as if her body was about to be torn apart by the whirlwind.
Why, why do this!
Brother Xiaotian, why doesn't he keep his word!
Didn't Feng Zhanxiu already hand over the soldier talisman!Why is that!Don't call anymore, don't...
Dong Xiaotian looked at Feng Zhanxiu, but found that he was still calm and calm, as if he was not afraid at all.A trace of hatred that seemed to have been deposited for a thousand years rose from his eyes, which surprised him.How can there be such hatred?Gradually, he was finally unable to resist, and his energy weakened slightly.
But Feng Zhanxiu was still the same as before, his dark eyes ignited with a faint blue light.
There was another burst of strong airflow, and everyone around was instantly knocked down.
Dong Xiaotian took a step back with his left foot, the zhenqi in his body surged up violently, he couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood, and took a few steps back holding the sword.
"Take back what you just said, today should be your death day." Feng Zhanxiu held the sword in one hand, pointing the tip of the sword to the ground.
Dong Xiaotian held his breath and stopped, grasping the sword and stabbing himself on the ground to support himself and prevent himself from falling down.
"Don't..." Mingzhu struggled to get up from the ground, shouting in panic.
With steady steps, Feng Zhanxiu slowly approached Dong Xiaotian.
He laughed cruelly, with one smile he turned into Shura, with another smile the world was completely dark, with a third smile blood flowed into rivers.
Dong Xiaotian's breathing was unstable, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch helplessly as he forced himself towards him.
Those guards rushed up, Feng Zhanxiu raised his hand and slashed without blinking.He was already very close to Dong Xiaotian, the blade of the sword dripped the blood of countless people, and the hall was full of fragmented corpses.
He raised his sword high, and whispered like the king of hell, "The time has come!"
Dong Xiaotian was powerless, but his eyes were wide open.
"Don't!" Mingzhu shouted in amazement, she rushed forward with all her might, "Stop! Feng Zhanxiu! Don't!"
Feng Zhanxiu was covered with blood, and his whole body seemed to be in the state of selflessness, he just had to kill instinctively, and he just had to perform a certain action instinctively.The sword fell down casually and slashed straight at Dong Xiaotian.
"..." Dong Xiaotian closed his eyes, taking the next blow.
The moment the sword fell, a thin figure flew to Dong Xiaotian, and hugged him tightly with open arms.
"Wind—war—repair—!" Mingzhu shouted.
Before the words fell, the sharp sword slashed at her, and immediately blood spattered everywhere.
When Feng Zhanxiu heard the shout, he seemed to regain his senses, and was startled for a moment.
But the movement of his hand didn't stop, the sharp sword slashed towards Mingzhu's back in an instant, cutting through the skin abruptly, making a long and narrow cut.
This sword is like piercing the heart.
Dong Xiaotian only felt his body sink, and the familiar smell rushed into his nostrils.He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Mingzhu hugging him tightly.And at this moment of trance, her panicked little face had a vast moon-like brilliance, and the stream of light shone with splendor.
But the eyes of Feng Zhanxiu in front of him were blood red, as if a ruthless Shura cut off the sword.
Dong Xiaotian didn't have time to react, and yelled mournfully, "Pearl!"
Mingzhu couldn't bear the sudden blow, her body fell back, she spit out a mouthful of blood, a feeling of despair on the verge of death.The body became like a feather, very light, she couldn't feel a little weight.Her body rolled and burned like a pain, burning her completely.
Is she dying...
Is it finally just that?
Maybe, maybe she shouldn't have come to this world at all.This was not her world in the first place.
Mingzhu's consciousness began to flutter, and her eyes gradually dimmed.
Feng Zhanxiu's expression was dull, and his tall and straight body was also stunned at this moment.Holding the sword in his hand, he trembled slightly.The pupils kept shrinking and dilating, he seemed to be struggling with something, and he seemed to be resisting something.The expression that was still bloodthirsty just now changed to bewildered and hesitant.
The originally empty eyes finally burst out with a faint light.
As soon as he loosened his hand, the sword fell from his hand.
At the same time, someone stabbed his chest with a sword.
With tears in his eyes, Dong Xiaotian hugged Mingzhu with one hand, and stabbed the sword into Feng Zhanxiu's chest with the other.How much pain he felt, how much hatred he felt, he regarded Feng Zhanxiu in front of him as his sworn enemy.
"Brother Xiaotian..." Mingzhu's faint cry sounded in his ears.
"Feng Zhanxiu! I'm going to kill you!" Dong Xiaotian yelled sharply, and with even more force, he stabbed the sword straight into his heart.
A line of blood flowed from the corner of Feng Zhanxiu's mouth, and he grabbed the blade of the sword with his big palm, and the blade was snapped off by his grip.Blood continued to flow from his chest, staining the black python robe red.He didn't care about his injury, but just looked down at her pale little face.
The hand holding the sword just now was still trembling slightly, he looked like a walking dead.
"Let him go...please...for the last time...for the last time...let him go..." Mingzhu clearly understood the feeling of approaching death.
It was getting darker and darker in front of his eyes, and Dong Xiaotian's worried handsome face disappeared.
"Pearl!"
Just as Dong Xiaotian yelled, someone jumped up and snatched the pearl from his arms.With nothing in his hands, he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Feng Zhanxiu turning around and leaving with the pearl in his arms.He grabbed the half-broken sword in his hand and threw it forcefully towards Feng Zhanxiu's back.
"Put her down!" He roared, standing up from the ground.
Feng Zhanxiu didn't take the sword shot from behind seriously, he ran out of the hall with her in his arms.Mingzhu was already unconscious from the pain, and she was in a daze.And the half-handled sword pierced into his back, directly passed through his body, and suddenly passed through his abdomen.He held his strength all over his body, and with a counterforce, he shook the half-handled sword out of his body.
The half-handled sword was shaken out with vigor and reflected towards Dong Xiaotian behind him.
Dong Xiaotian dodged sideways and raised his head to look forward.
Feng Zhanxiu jumped up with the pearl in his arms, flew up to the eaves of the palace and escaped.
"Follow me! Inform the two generals Fu Jing and Mo Kang to pursue and arrest the whole city!" Dong Xiaotian raised his head and roared.
※※※
Feng Zhanxiu rushed out of the palace holding Mingzhu, the two were covered in blood.
Mingzhu was even more angry, she fell into his arms and slowly closed her eyes.Through that long and narrow slit, she saw his always calm and calm handsome face showing a rare worry.She tried so hard to say something, but spit out another mouthful of blood.
He sprinted forward and glanced down at her from time to time.
"Don't talk! Keep your strength!" Feng Zhanxiu saw her blood dissipate from her face, and shouted in a deep voice, "Ye Mingzhu! Listen to me, don't sleep over! Do you hear me? Don't sleep! You are not allowed to sleep! You are not allowed sleep!"
He kept saying the words "don't sleep", but her consciousness still began to blur.
Do you really have to die?Almost dead.Mingzhu's soul leaves her body from time to time, as if to be split into two.
Feng Zhanxiu hugged her tightly, raised his inner strength and ran towards the mansion stepping on the eaves.
Along the way, the blood of the two fused together and sprinkled in the air.And the blood suddenly became extremely bloody, and the people in the capital stopped and looked suspiciously at the sky when they smelled it.
How can there be such a strong smell of blood, it's disgusting.
The people covered their faces with their hands, feeling very uncomfortable.
In the city, horns sounded loudly, and the soldiers began to search for them.
Inside the Zhanwang Mansion, a group of people were waiting for the prince and princess to arrive.Today they are going back to Yicheng.But at this moment, when Yun Ni, Zhong Li, and the twelve cavalrymen heard the sound of the horn, they suddenly felt something was wrong.Could it be... Could it be that something happened to the master?A group of people immediately rushed to the hall to gather, all of them looked dignified.
The twelve cavalrymen looked at Yun Ni, and Yun Ni frowned at Zhongli.
Zhong Li nodded his forehead towards everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Ready to fight!"
"Master!" One of the twelve cavalrymen suddenly shouted in amazement when they saw the two jumping from mid-air.
Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see Feng Zhanxiu rushing towards him with the pearl in his arms.The clothes on their bodies were all stained with blood, dripping down the clothes.Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.what happened?How did you get hurt like this?
And Feng Zhanxiu took a flying step and rushed into the hall, bringing a smell of blood all over his body.
"Hurry up and save people!" Feng Zhanxiu roared, furious like thunder.
Everyone was startled, but Yun Ni was the first to recover, "Yes!"
In an instant, the group was in a mess.
Yun Ni kept stopping Mingzhu's bleeding, but this knife was too powerful, it cut through her entire back, and her flesh and blood were already bloody.She couldn't bear to look at it, her heart was anxious, but her expression was still calm.She stabilized her position and bandaged Mingzhu's wound methodically in a panic.
But the hemostasis was spread layer after layer, and the gauze was wrapped around and around, but it was still useless.
The blood still couldn't be stopped.
"Master..." Yun Ni was a little lost, and called softly.
"Save her!" Feng Hexiu was sitting aside, and Zhongli was treating his wound.Hearing this, he got up abruptly, regardless of his own wound, and rushed to Mingzhu's side unsteadily.He looked down and saw her pale and weak face, which was already unconscious, and shouted coldly, "This king wants her to live!"
Yun Ni could only nod her head in agreement, staring at her eyes and continuing to stop the bleeding.
"Master, something is wrong! The palace has been surrounded by soldiers, we have to evacuate as soon as possible!" The twelve cavalry rushed in, knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists in reply.
Feng Zhanxiu still didn't care, just stared at Mingzhu closely.After a long while, he finally made a move, just stretched out his hand, tremblingly caressing her little face.The smile on the corner of his mouth was a little hesitant, he didn't say a word, and remained silent.
Zhong Li asked for orders immediately, "Master, please leave immediately!"
"Master, please leave immediately!" The twelve cavalry also begged for orders.
"Master!" Yun Ni shouted.
Feng Zhanxiu just caressed Mingzhu's face lightly, and he laughed a few times, arrogantly and ferociously.The big palm slowly moved down and covered her waist.The true energy flowed into her body continuously through the palm of her hand, trying to preserve her physical strength.And he had already lost a lot of blood, and his breath, which had always been strong, began to become disordered for the first time.
Mingzhu groaned weakly, and spat out another mouthful of blood from the side of her head.
She opened her eyes slightly, and her eyes were dim.
But his proud handsome face was blurred, but it appeared in his mind as clearly as his memory.His eyebrows, his eyes, the bridge of his nose, his thin lips... and the mist in his eyes, the melancholy that hasn't changed for a thousand years, the loneliness that has been miserable for too long... everything is so clearly presented.
Mingzhu laughed suddenly, she found that she came to this world, seems to be hurt all the time, hurting non-stop.
This is probably the last time, the last time.
Mingzhu looked at him with half-opened eyes, moved her lips with difficulty, and wanted to say something.But her voice was too soft, so soft that it sounded like a mosquito moaning, so I couldn't hear it clearly.
"What are you talking about?" Feng Zhanxiu saw her lips move slightly, lowered his head hastily, and held her little hand at the same time.
Mingzhu was unable to continue, so she had to close her eyes.
She said intermittently, "Feng Zhanxiu...don't take revenge...this is too tiring...okay...your father and mother...if there are people in the world...don't want you to go on like this...they must I hope...you live well..."
"You can't choose your own life...but...you can choose the way you live..."
"Without hatred... Is it really impossible to live..."
"Actually, I...I'm very happy to meet you...I've been thinking...Why did I come to this world...Maybe I came to meet you..."
"Also... I'm sorry... I can't keep my promise... I'm so sleepy..."
As Mingzhu talked, her voice became softer and softer, until there was only one breath left.There is still some reluctance, even I don't know why.But she didn't have the strength to open her eyes, and she didn't have the strength to look at him again.Her fingers touched him lightly.In the end, he could only murmur, "Leave the Daxing Dynasty alone... let brother Xiaotian go..."
"Let yourself go too..."
"This is my last request..."
A great darkness surged toward her, engulfing her.The soul seemed to leave the body, leaving her in an endless void and chaos.She finally fell into a deep sleep, but tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, fragrant and warm.
In an instant, someone raised his head and roared wildly, and the roar resounded through the sky.
※※※
The area around the Zhanwang's mansion was surrounded by soldiers.The soldiers held swords, guns and shields. Behind the team, two generals, Fu Jing and Mo Kang, guarded one side strictly.On the sedan chair carried by 18 people, Dong Xiaotian had already changed into a dragon robe and an imperial crown.He sat on the dragon chair, staring at the palace in front of him with bright eyes.
"Kill the thief! Rescue the princess!" Dong Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice.
Fu Jing and Mo Kang immediately raised their hands, and soldiers immediately rushed into the palace from the main entrance, side entrance, backyard, and even various walls.
This is a game of catch the turtle in the urn.
Suddenly, fifteen figures jumped up from the eaves.Zhongli and Yunni stood on the left and right respectively, supporting Feng Zhanxiu with disheveled black hair and flying up.And the twelve cavalry followed closely behind. The 15 people seemed to descend from the sky, stepping on the soldiers' heads, each of them drew their swords and cut off the heads of the soldiers on the horses, and fled with the horses.
For a while, the sound of horseshoes was accompanied by dust billowing.
"Fire the arrows!" General Fu Jing shouted.
Immediately, thousands of arrows shot at them.
The twelve cavalry took cover at the end, and the twelve iron chains waved spider webs all over the sky, blocking thousands of arrows.
"Chase--"
General Mokang immediately led his soldiers in pursuit.
"Your Majesty!" Three soldiers came out from the main gate, one of them was holding a woman in his arms, and the three tremblingly hugged the woman and ran to the front of the dragon chair and knelt down on the ground.
Dong Xiaotian looked down, got up abruptly and ran to the three soldiers, stretched out his hand and hugged Mingzhu into his arms.
And Mingzhu had died long ago, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her expression was very peaceful.
Dong Xiaotian was heartbroken all of a sudden, he was afraid that she would be cowardly if she did a ghost.Even if a man has tears and does not flick them lightly, he can't help but shed them in a rustle at this time.
"Pearl—"
……
The reign title of the new emperor of the Daxing Dynasty was Xiao, and in April of the Xiao year, the crown prince Dong Xiaotian ascended the throne.Emperor Xiao issued an edict to the world that the late emperor died of illness, and the whole country mourned together.However, Feng Zhanxiu was deported and pursued for the crime of "rebellion", and the title of vassal king was abolished at the same time, and the vassal land was taken back.
(End of this chapter)
Emperor Hong died long ago, his eyes stared in astonishment, and he did not rest in peace.The killer ruthlessly cut Hongdi's neck and killed him with a single sword.It's just that the king of a country was assassinated in the palace, which is by no means a trivial matter.Hongdi's death was too sudden and too unexpected.
Dong Xiaotian stretched out his hands and slowly touched Hongdi's eyes, allowing him to rest in peace.
"Royal father..." he shouted, his voice choked with sobs.Trembling, he knelt down slowly.
Outside the hall, guards guarded the entire hall.
Eunuch De wiped away his tears and walked to Dong Xiaotian's side, "Your Highness, you must express your condolences. The emperor was killed by a thief. You must not let the thief go."
"This hall knows." Dong Xiaotian said in a deep voice, unable to bow down.
Eunuch De stepped forward to help him up, and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
This sentence stopped Dong Xiaotian from asking.
He never expected that Emperor Hong would die tragically on the second day of his wedding.He originally thought that if he survived Prince Rui's ambition rebellion, everything would be safe and sound.At least, it will be safe and sound for a short time.But who knew that things happened so fast and so abruptly.
"This matter must not be publicized." Dong Xiaotian pondered for a long time before speaking.
Eunuch De nodded, "I understand."
Eunuch De turned to look at Emperor Hong, saw that his hands were covered with blood, and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe for Emperor Hong.He held Hongdi's hand and wiped it gently.While wiping, he muttered, "Your majesty, you left in such a hurry that this servant didn't even have time to serve you well, servant..."
Dong Xiaotian looked melancholy, and slowly looked at Emperor Hong.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, maybe he saw something, and was stunned.
Dong Xiaotian couldn't believe it, and his body stiffened even more, his mind was completely blank.Huge darkness rushed towards him, as if he had been hit hard.He squinted his eyes and stared at the half-character on the silk, gritted his teeth and hated him angrily, and read out the three words, "Feng, Zhan, Xiu!"
"Lord Zhan?" Eunuch De turned his head in astonishment when he heard him call out the name of Zhan Wang.He also saw Dong Xiaotian staring at a certain place obsessively, following his gaze, and glanced back suspiciously.
And on the silk, half of the characters were written mottled with blood, which was the word "Zhan".
Isn't this just half of the word "war"?
※※※
In Pingle Palace, Feng Zhanxiu and Mingzhu woke up at dawn.
At this moment, Mingzhu was packing her luggage and preparing to leave in the afternoon.
She didn't let the maids in the palace intervene, she insisted on tidying up by herself.After tossing for a while, I saw that she was busy.
Feng Zhanxiu sat alone on a chair beside him, silent.His eyes followed her around, wherever she went, he looked there.After being left out for a long time, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.He got up sullenly, and walked to her in front of her, his whole body was already gloomy.
Mingzhu only felt his tall figure pressing down, looked up at him, and shouted, "Go away! I want to pack my things."
"What are you doing?" he asked angrily.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at the dressing table, where the jewelry box given to Xia Er was still there.She hurried over to pick it up, turned around and said, "My lord, you didn't see, I'm sorting things out."
"I don't want any of these things. When I get back to the palace, I will buy you what you want again." After Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, he started to shake out all the clothes she stuffed into the box.
Immediately, colorful clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Mingzhu was speechless, clutching the jewelry box with one hand, and glaring at him with the other on her hip, "My lord! What are you doing! I've been trying to figure it out for a long time!"
"The king said it just now." Feng Zhan stretched out his long arms, put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.He rested his head on her shoulder, like a child leaning on someone.A strong desire for dominance exudes from the whole body, and the domineering and arrogant surrounds her, wrapping her in a circle.
Mingzhu seemed to be used to his sudden shamelessness and childishness, she felt helpless, and said softly, "If you have money, don't waste it, you can still wear these clothes."
"Waste is waste." He muttered.
"you……"
At this moment, Eunuch De rushed into the palace with a few young eunuchs, "My lord, my princess, the emperor ordered you two to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Mingzhu blushed and hurriedly pushed him away.
Feng Zhanxiu didn't let her push away, he hugged her tightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, so I'll go with him."
"The slave will lead the way for the prince and princess."
Mingzhu smiled shyly, seeing Eunuch De turn around, she immediately gave him a sideways glance.
But he didn't take her warning seriously, and still went his own way.It's just that the hand that was originally around her shoulders reached down and held her hand instead.Beneath the wide long sleeves, his large hands are dry and strong.
Mingzhu lowered her head and silently followed him out of Pingle Palace.
The two followed Eunuch De into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Zhanxiu's eyes flickered with depth, and he noticed something was wrong.He remained calm, let alone saying a word.
The little eunuch stopped outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Eunuch De led the two of them into the hall.
Mingzhu is a little strange, why don't you use the transmission today?
The two stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation side by side, but did not see Emperor Hong.
Eunuch De turned around and bowed to the two, and shouted with a smile, "My lord, please wait a moment, the emperor said to see the princess first."
Mingzhu was a little curious, and shook Feng Zhanxiu's hand, signaling him to let go.
Feng Zhanxiu gripped it hard, but finally let go.
Only now did Mingzhu walk to De Gonggong's side. She was about to speak, but De Gonggong grabbed her wrist.Eunuch De dragged Mingzhu to the other side of the hall in shock, shouting in a shrill voice, "Quick! Close the door quickly! Take down the thief!"
What?thief?who?Mingzhu was stunned.
All of a sudden, guards rushed in from all directions.
The door of the main hall was closed heavily, only to see a crowd of black crows, and tall figures of guards crowded in.
All those swords were pointed at the same person - Feng Zhanxiu.
Mingzhu looked at Feng Zhanxiu in a panic, but saw him standing alone in the middle of the sword.He smiled fearlessly, but the cold blood and cruelty in his eyes gradually accumulated.She hurriedly turned her head to look at Eunuch De again, and yelled uneasily, "What's going on? Why did you arrest him? Let him go!"
She shook Eunuch De's hand vigorously, trying to run to him.
But he was stopped by Eunuch De and persuaded, "Princess! You can't go! He is the thief who harmed the emperor!"
"Father?" Mingzhu was stunned, and her eyes widened.
What exactly is going on!why?Who killed the emperor?Feng Zhanxiu?No!This is impossible!
Mingzhu roared, "I want to see my father, let me meet my father! No way!"
"It's late." A deep male voice came from the inner hall.
Dong Xiaotian walked out of the palace slowly, his elegant handsome appearance was already hazy.A pair of pitch-black eyes slowly swept across the hall, and their eyes touched Feng Zhanxiu, exposing the fierce light of hatred, which was extremely bright.Finally, his eyes finally settled on Mingzhu.He didn't speak, but his steps were heavy.
"Brother Xiaotian..." Mingzhu murmured, her thoughts were suddenly in a mess.
Dong Xiaotian's tall and straight figure walked up to her and stopped slowly.
He lowered his head, his eyes were suddenly as gentle as water, "Mingzhu, Father is no longer here."
"No...here..." Mingzhu shuddered as she read what he said.She regained her senses suddenly, grabbed Dong Xiaotian's arms, and asked eagerly, "Father is not here? Why is he not here?"
"Father was assassinated by thieves, and he has already gone." Dong Xiaotian said the truth with a sad expression.
When Mingzhu heard it, her body couldn't help shaking, and she took a few steps back.
The one who loves her, the one who takes care of her, the one who always holds her in his arms, the one who always calls "My Pearl"... Her father, has he gone?In front of Mingzhu's eyes is Hongdi's benevolent face, no matter whether he is her biological father or not, no matter how much right and wrong there is...
"Mingzhu, come, come to me."
"My precious Pearl, come here. I am here. Are you obedient these days? Do you miss your father?"
"It was I who wronged you."
"Silly boy. Don't cry. Are you blaming me?"
……
Why, she is just a lonely soul temporarily living in this body.But why, her eyes were still red, and she couldn't help crying.
Is that how it feels to lose a loved one?That feeling of heartbreak.
Mingzhu burst into tears, crying silently.
Dong Xiaotian stretched out his hand movingly, and embraced her in his arms.He gently patted her, and said hoarsely in her ear, "Last night, a killer assassinated the father. Before he died, the father wrote half of the word 'war' in blood and covered it under the palm of his hand. The facts are true, Feng Zhan Xiu killed the royal father."
"..." Before Mingzhu could get rid of her sadness, she heard these terrible words again.
However, the scenes of getting along with Emperor Hong flashed in her mind. She turned her head blankly and looked at Feng Zhanxiu who was surrounded by guards.He said that he hated the Daxing Dynasty, and that his parents' death was all because of the Daxing Dynasty, but, but... two conflicting thoughts intertwined in her mind, and she lost her vision.
Dong Xiaotian held Mingzhu in his arms, frowned, and shouted in a deep voice, "Take him down!"
"Yes!" The guards replied in unison.
The tip of the knife stabbed at Feng Zhanxiu, approaching step by step.
Feng Zhanxiu narrowed his eyes, a pair of sharp eagle eyes burst out with incomparable sharpness.He laughed suddenly, raised his head and laughed loudly.His laughter was so cheerful that everyone was astonished.He gradually stopped laughing, just stood there, staring at Mingzhu.The fundus of his eyes was her red eyes from crying.
"Dong Xiaotian, I knew that this king should kill you." He whispered this sentence lightly.
"Heh!" Dong Xiaotian sneered, "Take it!"
The guards attacked him again, "Yes!"
Mingzhu looked at Feng Zhanxiu who was besieged by all the guards in the hall, and his arrogant laughter just now echoed in her ears.But she only felt miserable, and the laughter was more like self-mockery.Her eyes were blurred, but she turned around to face him and yelled, "Shut—hand—"
The guards froze and hesitated.
Mingzhu said tremblingly, "Feng Zhanxiu, tell me."
Answer me, answer me quickly.Feng Zhanxiu, answer me quickly.
I just want to hear your answer.
Feng Zhanxiu stood where he was, without answering for a long time.He raised the corners of his mouth, and his eye-catching face became more and more evil, with hatred, grief and indignation intertwined in his eyes.He took a step forward, and the guards also took a step cautiously.He suddenly looked melancholy and locked her tightly.
"It's not me." He said these three words involuntarily, the corners of his mouth curved upwards.
The pupils dilated in an instant, and the blurred vision gradually became clear. Mingzhu and him looked at the hall, as if there were only him and her left in the world.
With tears streaming down her face, Mingzhu said with a smile, "I believe in you."
"Pearl!" Dong Xiaotian roared and grabbed her arm tightly.
Mingzhu bent and knelt down in front of Dong Xiaotian, she lowered her head and said, "Brother Xiaotian, it's not him, please trust me and him too."
"You..." Dong Xiaotian's hands froze in mid-air, and he looked at the little figure kneeling in front of him in frustration.
He clenched his fists violently and shouted sharply, "This palace doesn't believe him!"
"What about me?" Mingzhu raised her head slowly, looking at him sincerely, "Brother Xiaotian doesn't believe me either."
Dong Xiaotian smiled wryly in his heart, his clenched fist loosened.
This is the second time, in front of her, she defends him like this for the second time.
"I believe in pearls." Dong Xiaotian said quietly.
With tears in her eyes, Mingzhu heard him say again, "But this palace doesn't believe in Feng Zhanxiu's wife!"
boom--
Mingzhu froze all over, the words just now sounded like a thunder in her mind.These eleven short words were like sharp knives, cutting towards her heart abruptly.She stared blankly at him, at the strange yet familiar Dong Xiaotian in front of her, and there were sounds of emptiness in her ears.
He said he believed in pearls.
But he said he didn't believe in Feng Zhanxiu's wife.
Today's Dong Xiaotian, her elder brother Xiaotian, has unknowingly become such a strange person.
What he said was not just a matter of believing or not, but also a choice for her.He was forcing her to make a choice, letting her choose to be the princess Ye Mingzhu of the Daxing Dynasty, or Feng Zhanxiu's wife Ye Mingzhu.How could such cruel words come out of his mouth.
Brother Xiaotian...
Mingzhu's expression was already dull, her eyes were empty.
"My hall is asking you now, are you Mingzhu, or Feng Zhanxiu's wife?" Dong Xiaotian asked, his voice was so calm, but the last word still trembled.
In front of Dong Xiaotian was that clingy and cute little girl, that lively and innocent girl, that pearl who relied on her in everything.It's not the pearl that defends others over and over again.He needs her to tell himself clearly who she wants to be and whose side she wants to stand on.
The king of a country must not be affectionate or emotional.
But he still moved, this is the last time, the last time for her to choose.
Dong Xiaotian waited quietly for her answer.
Feng Zhanxiu is unruly and unruly, but his eyes are filled with infinite desire.He seemed to be waiting, like waiting for the only sunshine in his life.Sword eyebrows gradually frowned, and his gloomy expression showed a little anxiety.The originally fluttering corners of her lips finally froze.
The hall was silent.
After a while, Mingzhu moved her lips and uttered a single syllable.
Under everyone's attention, she choked up her voice and said in panic, "I'm very sad that my father was killed. But no one knows what the truth is. Only those half a word can't fully prove that it is The prince assassinated it. Maybe the murderer left it on purpose. And last night, the prince was with me all the time."
"Mingzhu begs His Royal Highness to investigate strictly." In the last sentence, her voice was three parts trembling, three parts firm, three parts affectionate, and the remaining part was endlessly lonely.
His Royal Highness...
When Dong Xiaotian heard this address, a layer of gray dimmed his eyes.The stone hanging in the air in his heart was smashed down, causing his heart to bleed.
He just stared at her deeply, with a wound in his eyes.
His intimidating male voice sounded in the hall, "Feng Zhanxiu! This hall orders you to hand over the soldier talisman now! If you didn't conspire and assassinate, then hand over the soldier talisman to show your innocence!"
Mingzhu turned her head to look at Feng Zhanxiu with such scorching eyes.
"Hehe." Feng Zhanxiu chuckled, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! Soldiers can be handed over!"
Although he said this to Dong Xiaotian, his eyes were always on Mingzhu without hesitation.
Ye Mingzhu, I have never compromised with anyone in my life, and I have never taken orders from anyone.This time, do you know that I am not compromising with the Daxing Dynasty, but with you.Soldiers are not important to me at all.Feng Zhanxiu thought to himself, and there was a moment of tenderness in his eyes.
Sure enough, he took out the soldier talisman from his pocket, raised his hand and raised the soldier talisman high.
"Give me the soldier talisman!" Dong Xiaotian saw the soldier talisman commanding [-] elite soldiers, and shouted, still unwilling to let go.
Mingzhu originally raised her heart, but after seeing the tenderness in his eyes, she finally let go of that heart.
Feng Zhanxiu waved his hand and threw the soldier talisman into the air.
Dong Xiaotian immediately flew up, holding the soldier talisman tightly with one hand.His white figure spun up and landed lightly on the ground.It's just that because of the internal force, there was a tightness in his chest and he coughed a few times.His faint cough came into Mingzhu's ears, and she turned her head to look at him worriedly.
"Soldier Talisman..." Dong Xiaotian squinted his eyes, staring at the Soldier Talisman in his hand, and murmured.
He used to think about it and tried every means to get the soldier talisman, but he didn't expect it to be so easy now.And the past years, like a picture scroll that he didn't want to recall, stabbed him like a needle.He suddenly lowered his head to glance at Mingzhu, then reached out his hand in a frenzy and grabbed her from the ground.
"..." Mingzhu was in pain from his grasp, her arm seemed to be broken.
Dong Xiaotian like this was something she had never seen before.
Feng Zhan Xiudun showed aloofness and ruthlessness, with a decisive breath exuding from his body, he said in a cold voice, "Let her go."
"Father has already left, I can't lose you anymore." Dong Xiaotian said softly to Mingzhu with his eyes like water.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Mingzhu was stunned by the momentary sadness.
Dong Xiaotian kissed her lightly on the forehead, the warmth was frightening.Then, with a sudden force, she turned and pushed her towards Eunuch De, "Take care of her!"
"Your servant obeys!" Eunuch De hastily stretched out his hand and pulled Mingzhu aside to keep away from the blood.
Dong Xiaotian smiled ferociously, showing his killing intent. He looked straight at Feng Zhanxiu, and said in a deep voice, "Feng Zhanxiu intends to rebel, come, someone, take him down!"
"Yes!" The guards roared loudly, and they all rushed towards him.
Feng Zhanxiu was like the king of beasts besieged by hunters, his eyes were red and bloodthirsty, the hatred rose up at this moment, and he could no longer let it go.He responded to the attacks of the guards with his bare hands, blocked the knife and gun with one hand, plunged the handle of the knife into the belly of the guard with his backhand, and pulled it out forcefully.
The intestines were pulled out together with blood.
For a while, blood was dripping, and the smell of blood filled the air, making the scene disgusting.
Feng Zhanxiu was so frantic that he slashed and killed the continuously crowded guards, that cold breath mixed with hatred all over the sky made people tremble all over.With a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, he was completely defiant.He met gods and killed gods, met demons and demons, and nothing in the world could stop him.
It's just those eyes, full of melancholy amidst the violence.
"Don't!" Mingzhu shouted loudly, "Stop! Don't do this!"
"Brother Xiaotian, no one knows who the father is who murdered the emperor! Don't do it! Don't fight anymore! Everyone stop!" Mingzhu shouted in a panic, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Don't fight! Brother Xiaotian, you speak In a word! Didn’t you ask him to hand in the soldier talisman? Hasn’t he already handed in the soldier talisman? Brother Xiaotian!”
Brother Xiaotian, brother Xiaotian, brother Xiaotian.
The shouts filled his ears, and Dong Xiaotian's heart tightened when he heard it, but he just gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.He doesn't look at her, ignores her completely.He can't be soft-hearted at this moment, and can't be shaken by her pleading anymore, he can't, can't, can't!So I had no choice but to close my eyes and let her cry.
He didn't want to lose her, and he wanted to get rid of the threat of Feng Zhanxiu.
At this moment, it is already the best opportunity.
Dong Xiaotian's eyebrows froze suddenly, and he resolutely shouted, "Kill—no—forgive—!"
The roars of the guards shook the sky, and the sounds of killing, swords and howling circled in the hall.Feng Zhanxiu faced the battle all by himself, but his expression was still calm, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled wickedly. This arrogant gesture made the besieging guards feel a burst of fear.
He suddenly bent down and swung the knife up. With inner strength, the sword flew past the surrounding guards.
Qi Jin passed along the tip of the knife, cutting the guards' throats one by one.
"Uh—" There was no time to shout, and the guards fell backwards.
Dong Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so strong.
Is this human?It's just as scary as a monster, completely invincible.It was as if he could deal with thousands of people by himself.Such an aura, such blood, such a man with outstanding martial arts and invincibility, must not be left behind!
Dong Xiaotian squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and drew out his sword, and rushed into the siege.
"Feng Zhanxiu! Today is your death day!" He roared coldly, his sword light was cold.
Feng Zhanxiu raised the knife and threw it hard, the blade pierced through the guard's chest, piercing his heart abruptly.As soon as he grasped the sword, the evil facial features showed colorful light, and the deep locks in his eyes became more and more condensed.He gently raised his hand, and the blade of the sword caught Dong Xiaotian's oncoming attack.
"Your Highness, you are still too weak." Feng Zhanxiu opened his thin lips lightly, and spit out such a sentence.
Dong Xiaotian looked solemn and his eyes were burning.
The powerful inner strength spun a whirlwind from the soles of the two people's feet, shaking the guards to a halt.
In front of Mingzhu is the scene of Feng Zhanxiu and Dong Xiaotian fighting each other with their lives.The black hair was disheveled in the whirlwind, dancing in a gorgeous gesture.The bodies of the two rose into the air and turned over.That pair of black clothes, and that pair of white clothes, lightly represent two opposing colors.
"Eunuch De, let me go! Eunuch De, let go!" Mingzhu was frightened and struggled, "Brother Xiaotian, Feng Zhanxiu, stop!"
"Princess, you can't go! It's dangerous!" Eunuch De tried desperately to stop him.
Mingzhu panicked and turned her gaze back to Eunuch De, a ray of light flashed in her eyes.She clenched her hands into fists, and with all her strength, she punched him in the eyes.
"Ah—" Eunuch De wailed, and loosened his hand half a bit.
Mingzhu pushed him away forcefully, breaking free from Eunuch De's restraint.She turned around, rushed into the center of the hall surrounded by many guards, and rushed towards Feng Zhanxiu and Dong Xiaotian who were fighting fiercely.The whirlwind created by the internal conflict between the two was too strong, and Mingzhu struggled to move forward.
"Wind, battle, repair..."
"Xiao, Tian, brother, brother...
"Stop hitting! Stop it, all of you!"
Eyes could not be fully opened, Mingzhu raised her arms to block the whirlwind.She walked very hard, as if her body was about to be torn apart by the whirlwind.
Why, why do this!
Brother Xiaotian, why doesn't he keep his word!
Didn't Feng Zhanxiu already hand over the soldier talisman!Why is that!Don't call anymore, don't...
Dong Xiaotian looked at Feng Zhanxiu, but found that he was still calm and calm, as if he was not afraid at all.A trace of hatred that seemed to have been deposited for a thousand years rose from his eyes, which surprised him.How can there be such hatred?Gradually, he was finally unable to resist, and his energy weakened slightly.
But Feng Zhanxiu was still the same as before, his dark eyes ignited with a faint blue light.
There was another burst of strong airflow, and everyone around was instantly knocked down.
Dong Xiaotian took a step back with his left foot, the zhenqi in his body surged up violently, he couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood, and took a few steps back holding the sword.
"Take back what you just said, today should be your death day." Feng Zhanxiu held the sword in one hand, pointing the tip of the sword to the ground.
Dong Xiaotian held his breath and stopped, grasping the sword and stabbing himself on the ground to support himself and prevent himself from falling down.
"Don't..." Mingzhu struggled to get up from the ground, shouting in panic.
With steady steps, Feng Zhanxiu slowly approached Dong Xiaotian.
He laughed cruelly, with one smile he turned into Shura, with another smile the world was completely dark, with a third smile blood flowed into rivers.
Dong Xiaotian's breathing was unstable, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch helplessly as he forced himself towards him.
Those guards rushed up, Feng Zhanxiu raised his hand and slashed without blinking.He was already very close to Dong Xiaotian, the blade of the sword dripped the blood of countless people, and the hall was full of fragmented corpses.
He raised his sword high, and whispered like the king of hell, "The time has come!"
Dong Xiaotian was powerless, but his eyes were wide open.
"Don't!" Mingzhu shouted in amazement, she rushed forward with all her might, "Stop! Feng Zhanxiu! Don't!"
Feng Zhanxiu was covered with blood, and his whole body seemed to be in the state of selflessness, he just had to kill instinctively, and he just had to perform a certain action instinctively.The sword fell down casually and slashed straight at Dong Xiaotian.
"..." Dong Xiaotian closed his eyes, taking the next blow.
The moment the sword fell, a thin figure flew to Dong Xiaotian, and hugged him tightly with open arms.
"Wind—war—repair—!" Mingzhu shouted.
Before the words fell, the sharp sword slashed at her, and immediately blood spattered everywhere.
When Feng Zhanxiu heard the shout, he seemed to regain his senses, and was startled for a moment.
But the movement of his hand didn't stop, the sharp sword slashed towards Mingzhu's back in an instant, cutting through the skin abruptly, making a long and narrow cut.
This sword is like piercing the heart.
Dong Xiaotian only felt his body sink, and the familiar smell rushed into his nostrils.He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Mingzhu hugging him tightly.And at this moment of trance, her panicked little face had a vast moon-like brilliance, and the stream of light shone with splendor.
But the eyes of Feng Zhanxiu in front of him were blood red, as if a ruthless Shura cut off the sword.
Dong Xiaotian didn't have time to react, and yelled mournfully, "Pearl!"
Mingzhu couldn't bear the sudden blow, her body fell back, she spit out a mouthful of blood, a feeling of despair on the verge of death.The body became like a feather, very light, she couldn't feel a little weight.Her body rolled and burned like a pain, burning her completely.
Is she dying...
Is it finally just that?
Maybe, maybe she shouldn't have come to this world at all.This was not her world in the first place.
Mingzhu's consciousness began to flutter, and her eyes gradually dimmed.
Feng Zhanxiu's expression was dull, and his tall and straight body was also stunned at this moment.Holding the sword in his hand, he trembled slightly.The pupils kept shrinking and dilating, he seemed to be struggling with something, and he seemed to be resisting something.The expression that was still bloodthirsty just now changed to bewildered and hesitant.
The originally empty eyes finally burst out with a faint light.
As soon as he loosened his hand, the sword fell from his hand.
At the same time, someone stabbed his chest with a sword.
With tears in his eyes, Dong Xiaotian hugged Mingzhu with one hand, and stabbed the sword into Feng Zhanxiu's chest with the other.How much pain he felt, how much hatred he felt, he regarded Feng Zhanxiu in front of him as his sworn enemy.
"Brother Xiaotian..." Mingzhu's faint cry sounded in his ears.
"Feng Zhanxiu! I'm going to kill you!" Dong Xiaotian yelled sharply, and with even more force, he stabbed the sword straight into his heart.
A line of blood flowed from the corner of Feng Zhanxiu's mouth, and he grabbed the blade of the sword with his big palm, and the blade was snapped off by his grip.Blood continued to flow from his chest, staining the black python robe red.He didn't care about his injury, but just looked down at her pale little face.
The hand holding the sword just now was still trembling slightly, he looked like a walking dead.
"Let him go...please...for the last time...for the last time...let him go..." Mingzhu clearly understood the feeling of approaching death.
It was getting darker and darker in front of his eyes, and Dong Xiaotian's worried handsome face disappeared.
"Pearl!"
Just as Dong Xiaotian yelled, someone jumped up and snatched the pearl from his arms.With nothing in his hands, he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Feng Zhanxiu turning around and leaving with the pearl in his arms.He grabbed the half-broken sword in his hand and threw it forcefully towards Feng Zhanxiu's back.
"Put her down!" He roared, standing up from the ground.
Feng Zhanxiu didn't take the sword shot from behind seriously, he ran out of the hall with her in his arms.Mingzhu was already unconscious from the pain, and she was in a daze.And the half-handled sword pierced into his back, directly passed through his body, and suddenly passed through his abdomen.He held his strength all over his body, and with a counterforce, he shook the half-handled sword out of his body.
The half-handled sword was shaken out with vigor and reflected towards Dong Xiaotian behind him.
Dong Xiaotian dodged sideways and raised his head to look forward.
Feng Zhanxiu jumped up with the pearl in his arms, flew up to the eaves of the palace and escaped.
"Follow me! Inform the two generals Fu Jing and Mo Kang to pursue and arrest the whole city!" Dong Xiaotian raised his head and roared.
※※※
Feng Zhanxiu rushed out of the palace holding Mingzhu, the two were covered in blood.
Mingzhu was even more angry, she fell into his arms and slowly closed her eyes.Through that long and narrow slit, she saw his always calm and calm handsome face showing a rare worry.She tried so hard to say something, but spit out another mouthful of blood.
He sprinted forward and glanced down at her from time to time.
"Don't talk! Keep your strength!" Feng Zhanxiu saw her blood dissipate from her face, and shouted in a deep voice, "Ye Mingzhu! Listen to me, don't sleep over! Do you hear me? Don't sleep! You are not allowed to sleep! You are not allowed sleep!"
He kept saying the words "don't sleep", but her consciousness still began to blur.
Do you really have to die?Almost dead.Mingzhu's soul leaves her body from time to time, as if to be split into two.
Feng Zhanxiu hugged her tightly, raised his inner strength and ran towards the mansion stepping on the eaves.
Along the way, the blood of the two fused together and sprinkled in the air.And the blood suddenly became extremely bloody, and the people in the capital stopped and looked suspiciously at the sky when they smelled it.
How can there be such a strong smell of blood, it's disgusting.
The people covered their faces with their hands, feeling very uncomfortable.
In the city, horns sounded loudly, and the soldiers began to search for them.
Inside the Zhanwang Mansion, a group of people were waiting for the prince and princess to arrive.Today they are going back to Yicheng.But at this moment, when Yun Ni, Zhong Li, and the twelve cavalrymen heard the sound of the horn, they suddenly felt something was wrong.Could it be... Could it be that something happened to the master?A group of people immediately rushed to the hall to gather, all of them looked dignified.
The twelve cavalrymen looked at Yun Ni, and Yun Ni frowned at Zhongli.
Zhong Li nodded his forehead towards everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Ready to fight!"
"Master!" One of the twelve cavalrymen suddenly shouted in amazement when they saw the two jumping from mid-air.
Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see Feng Zhanxiu rushing towards him with the pearl in his arms.The clothes on their bodies were all stained with blood, dripping down the clothes.Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.what happened?How did you get hurt like this?
And Feng Zhanxiu took a flying step and rushed into the hall, bringing a smell of blood all over his body.
"Hurry up and save people!" Feng Zhanxiu roared, furious like thunder.
Everyone was startled, but Yun Ni was the first to recover, "Yes!"
In an instant, the group was in a mess.
Yun Ni kept stopping Mingzhu's bleeding, but this knife was too powerful, it cut through her entire back, and her flesh and blood were already bloody.She couldn't bear to look at it, her heart was anxious, but her expression was still calm.She stabilized her position and bandaged Mingzhu's wound methodically in a panic.
But the hemostasis was spread layer after layer, and the gauze was wrapped around and around, but it was still useless.
The blood still couldn't be stopped.
"Master..." Yun Ni was a little lost, and called softly.
"Save her!" Feng Hexiu was sitting aside, and Zhongli was treating his wound.Hearing this, he got up abruptly, regardless of his own wound, and rushed to Mingzhu's side unsteadily.He looked down and saw her pale and weak face, which was already unconscious, and shouted coldly, "This king wants her to live!"
Yun Ni could only nod her head in agreement, staring at her eyes and continuing to stop the bleeding.
"Master, something is wrong! The palace has been surrounded by soldiers, we have to evacuate as soon as possible!" The twelve cavalry rushed in, knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists in reply.
Feng Zhanxiu still didn't care, just stared at Mingzhu closely.After a long while, he finally made a move, just stretched out his hand, tremblingly caressing her little face.The smile on the corner of his mouth was a little hesitant, he didn't say a word, and remained silent.
Zhong Li asked for orders immediately, "Master, please leave immediately!"
"Master, please leave immediately!" The twelve cavalry also begged for orders.
"Master!" Yun Ni shouted.
Feng Zhanxiu just caressed Mingzhu's face lightly, and he laughed a few times, arrogantly and ferociously.The big palm slowly moved down and covered her waist.The true energy flowed into her body continuously through the palm of her hand, trying to preserve her physical strength.And he had already lost a lot of blood, and his breath, which had always been strong, began to become disordered for the first time.
Mingzhu groaned weakly, and spat out another mouthful of blood from the side of her head.
She opened her eyes slightly, and her eyes were dim.
But his proud handsome face was blurred, but it appeared in his mind as clearly as his memory.His eyebrows, his eyes, the bridge of his nose, his thin lips... and the mist in his eyes, the melancholy that hasn't changed for a thousand years, the loneliness that has been miserable for too long... everything is so clearly presented.
Mingzhu laughed suddenly, she found that she came to this world, seems to be hurt all the time, hurting non-stop.
This is probably the last time, the last time.
Mingzhu looked at him with half-opened eyes, moved her lips with difficulty, and wanted to say something.But her voice was too soft, so soft that it sounded like a mosquito moaning, so I couldn't hear it clearly.
"What are you talking about?" Feng Zhanxiu saw her lips move slightly, lowered his head hastily, and held her little hand at the same time.
Mingzhu was unable to continue, so she had to close her eyes.
She said intermittently, "Feng Zhanxiu...don't take revenge...this is too tiring...okay...your father and mother...if there are people in the world...don't want you to go on like this...they must I hope...you live well..."
"You can't choose your own life...but...you can choose the way you live..."
"Without hatred... Is it really impossible to live..."
"Actually, I...I'm very happy to meet you...I've been thinking...Why did I come to this world...Maybe I came to meet you..."
"Also... I'm sorry... I can't keep my promise... I'm so sleepy..."
As Mingzhu talked, her voice became softer and softer, until there was only one breath left.There is still some reluctance, even I don't know why.But she didn't have the strength to open her eyes, and she didn't have the strength to look at him again.Her fingers touched him lightly.In the end, he could only murmur, "Leave the Daxing Dynasty alone... let brother Xiaotian go..."
"Let yourself go too..."
"This is my last request..."
A great darkness surged toward her, engulfing her.The soul seemed to leave the body, leaving her in an endless void and chaos.She finally fell into a deep sleep, but tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, fragrant and warm.
In an instant, someone raised his head and roared wildly, and the roar resounded through the sky.
※※※
The area around the Zhanwang's mansion was surrounded by soldiers.The soldiers held swords, guns and shields. Behind the team, two generals, Fu Jing and Mo Kang, guarded one side strictly.On the sedan chair carried by 18 people, Dong Xiaotian had already changed into a dragon robe and an imperial crown.He sat on the dragon chair, staring at the palace in front of him with bright eyes.
"Kill the thief! Rescue the princess!" Dong Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice.
Fu Jing and Mo Kang immediately raised their hands, and soldiers immediately rushed into the palace from the main entrance, side entrance, backyard, and even various walls.
This is a game of catch the turtle in the urn.
Suddenly, fifteen figures jumped up from the eaves.Zhongli and Yunni stood on the left and right respectively, supporting Feng Zhanxiu with disheveled black hair and flying up.And the twelve cavalry followed closely behind. The 15 people seemed to descend from the sky, stepping on the soldiers' heads, each of them drew their swords and cut off the heads of the soldiers on the horses, and fled with the horses.
For a while, the sound of horseshoes was accompanied by dust billowing.
"Fire the arrows!" General Fu Jing shouted.
Immediately, thousands of arrows shot at them.
The twelve cavalry took cover at the end, and the twelve iron chains waved spider webs all over the sky, blocking thousands of arrows.
"Chase--"
General Mokang immediately led his soldiers in pursuit.
"Your Majesty!" Three soldiers came out from the main gate, one of them was holding a woman in his arms, and the three tremblingly hugged the woman and ran to the front of the dragon chair and knelt down on the ground.
Dong Xiaotian looked down, got up abruptly and ran to the three soldiers, stretched out his hand and hugged Mingzhu into his arms.
And Mingzhu had died long ago, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her expression was very peaceful.
Dong Xiaotian was heartbroken all of a sudden, he was afraid that she would be cowardly if she did a ghost.Even if a man has tears and does not flick them lightly, he can't help but shed them in a rustle at this time.
"Pearl—"
……
The reign title of the new emperor of the Daxing Dynasty was Xiao, and in April of the Xiao year, the crown prince Dong Xiaotian ascended the throne.Emperor Xiao issued an edict to the world that the late emperor died of illness, and the whole country mourned together.However, Feng Zhanxiu was deported and pursued for the crime of "rebellion", and the title of vassal king was abolished at the same time, and the vassal land was taken back.
