Chapter 48 Chapter Forty-eight

"Zhumeng..." Yan Wei yelled weakly, hoping to hear the answer from that gentle and soft voice, but the only answer was the whizzing sound of arrows piercing the air.An arrow was shot right at Yan Wei's feet, slanting into the ground. Yan Wei only felt her arms tighten around her shoulders, and a whisper came from her ear: "She has already gone, let's go quickly." Yan Wei was like a walking corpse, letting the man help her to walk quickly, letting the man help her onto the horse, letting the man sit behind her, holding the reins... until the horse's hooves were tamed, and she started to start, until the cold The autumn wind sharply cut her cheeks because of the galloping horse, and Yan Wei suddenly shed tears as if returning to her soul...

That arrow was originally aimed at him but missed?Or because he saw Zhumeng and Yang Guojun together, he regarded her as an enemy?Or is it because of the decree that all maidservants commit suicide?Or...just because she was lagging behind, within range of the arrow?Or... it's just that the sword has no eyes, hurting people who shouldn't be hurt?It was he who reprimanded those servants in Jiangyi for protecting the palace ban, and they are doing it too.However, it was not what I hoped... Zhumeng was not at fault, why?There are so many Yang Jun, they don't kill, why, instead they want to kill the innocent Zhumeng...

Yan Wei repeated in her heart, asking why.Why can't the person who wants to keep it be kept? Is it because God has rejected my infidelity?If that's the case, you should let the karma fall on you, instead of letting the people around you leave one by one, leaving yourself safe and sound... The horseshoe is good, walking through the thoroughfare in front of the Forbidden Garden, you enter the market where ordinary people live, and it also reveals a picture of hell. There are ruins and ruins everywhere, half of the house that was destroyed by the fire was charred and black, and white smoke was still hissing.Half of the thatched hut that was blown off by the hailstorm was filled with turbid water, and a waist machine was floating, with half a piece of brocade with the pattern of longevity on it.On both sides of the street, corpses with missing arms and legs were lying on their pillows, soaked in icy water into a fuzzy mass, blood, excrement, and all kinds of indescribable filth turned the accumulated water into a disgusting mud... The wild dogs tore Licking the corpses, they "woo" each other from time to time. In the mist, their blood-red mouths and scarlet eyes made them look like evil spirits from hell.

A few layers away from the roof, there was a faint noise of voices, mixed with the sound of crying and shouting. It seemed that someone was looting. Occasionally, a few Yang Guo soldiers passed by. Everyone was happy, and Yang was everywhere. Joking with a Chinese accent, more or less holding looted items in his hands... Yan Wei couldn't help but felt nauseated and wanted to vomit. She felt exhausted and leaned over the horse's neck. When she touched the horse's mane with her hands, she found a sticky mass on the horse's mane, and a bloody smell rushed straight to her nose.Looking down, I saw the horse's hooves flying, and in the mud that was brought up between the ups and downs, there was dark red blood, crimson flesh, and gray fat, all of which were crushed and trampled into dust...

Yan Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw up while lying on the horse, but because she didn't eat anything all day and night, all she vomited was a small puddle of yellow water. "Are you okay? Hold on a little longer, we can't stay here." The man behind said softly. Yan Wei nodded blankly, and asked softly, "Where are we going?" "Go to the camp outside the city. Young Master Yu is there. Only there is the safest place." After the man behind him finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Wei to answer, he pulled the reins, and the horse started to gallop forward again.

With a whoosh sound, a feathered arrow flew from the roadside house, neither vigorous nor fast, the man behind him pinched the horse's belly, the horse leaped forward, and easily dodged it. "It's not peaceful here, there will be cold arrows, and there may be a small group of bandits." The man behind him was still patiently explaining to Yan Wei why she couldn't stay even if she was unwell. Yan Wei nodded: "I can save it..." In my heart, I felt infinite emotion, the word "bandit" is too stinging, I just don't want to be a subjugated slave, I'm just doing the last dying struggle, I just want to keep my homeland It's just that I want to leave the last bit of property or dignity for myself... If there is offense, there will be defense, and if there is burning, there will be resistance. It's just like sleeping when you are sleepy and eating when you are hungry. It is just a human instinct Forget it, Jiang Guo people are like this, Yang Guo people are also like this... What about bandits?

"Ah..." There was a soft scream, but Yan Wei was shocked like an electric shock—Zhu Meng!This voice is really like Zhumeng. Turning his head to look, he saw a woman was blocked by two Yang Guo soldiers at the corner of the wall, her temple hair was disheveled, a pair of sleeves had been torn off, exposing half of her snow-like breasts.The vicious tone of Yang Guo's accent came with a laugh.There was another tear, but the woman was too shocked to make any sound. "Stop!" Yan Wei's eyes were already red. The man behind him galloped over, and with a bang, he slammed his whip against the dirt wall, causing a piece of brick and limestone to shake off, and even the wall shook twice.

The two soldiers were startled, and when they turned around and saw the man and woman immediately, they both gritted their teeth and laughed. "Brother! You don't allow others to drink soup if you have meat in the pot?" One of them said with a smile, and untied his belt while talking. "Ouch...you're still a pregnant woman!" Another person said obscenely. "Don't be rude! This is Princess Wei!" The man behind him shouted angrily. The two soldiers were shocked again. They looked at Yan Wei's brocade clothes and shrank their necks, as if they were very dazed.

"Get lost!" Yan Wei scolded. The two soldiers looked at each other and ran away quickly. The woman was crying, holding her torn sleeve with one hand, covering her arms, and protecting her chest with one hand, with her head down, as if she was at a loss, her two long eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheeks. The shadow looks like Xiaokui when Yihu first met. Yan Wei took off the light gauze singlet, handed it over, and said softly: "Take it and put it on, and hide quickly, don't let them see it again." The woman raised her tear-filled eyes and said, "Thank you!"

Suddenly, the man behind him tightened the reins, turned the horse's head to the right, and a cold arrow flew past Yan Wei's waist, piercing deeply into the rib of the man behind him. Blood gushed out in an instant, and Yan Wei only felt a burst of warmth in her lower back, knowing that the injury was not serious. "Let's go!" said the man behind him and galloped his horse. "Turn right ahead and you will find Guixuantang. My mother is there and can help you heal your wounds." Yan Wei said eagerly. After all, she has been here once, and she is quite familiar with the streets here.

The person behind him took a deep breath and asked, "Lingtang? You mean Mrs. Yan... Mrs. Teng?" Yan Wei nodded: "Yes." She was a little worried, in such a chaotic situation, will "mother" be okay?If you can meet her in Guixuantang, you can pick her up and go out of the city together. Return to Xuantang. The black plaque, the red characters, and the open door occupy the southeast corner of the street, and it really is the style of the first medical center in Jiangguo.When he got closer, he looked in through the open door, and he could faintly see the mess in the room.Immediately, strong unease welled up in Yan Wei's heart. The man behind him parked his horse and jumped off the horse first, but he staggered and almost fell to his knees. "Be careful!" Yan Wei turned her head and shouted. The man bit his lip and said with a smile, "It's okay." After speaking, he gently held Yan Wei's armpit, and slowly carried her off the horse.As soon as Yan Wei's feet touched the ground, there was a piercing pain. Her feet were swollen due to her pregnancy, but now she was on the horse for a long time, and she felt that her blood vessels were not smooth. The hands of the person behind him were still resting on Yan Wei's armpits, and he seemed to know that Yan Wei's feet hurt and she couldn't stand steadily, so he helped her to adapt slowly.It's just...the hands seem to have no strength, and they gradually hang down, hang down...the tall body suddenly fell down. Yan Wei was startled, and when she turned around to look, she saw that the blood from the arrow wound on the man's rib had already soaked half of his body from waist to knee. In addition to the sword wound on the front arm, there was also a stick stuck in his back at some point. The arrow, the dripping blood stained the horse's butt and ponytail mottled, and the blood in several wounds had gradually dried up.The man's lips had lost all color, and were as pale as his face, his eyes were slightly closed, and his eyebrows were twitched, as if he was enduring pain.Yan Wei tried her best to sit down on her knees, took a pulse, and then looked up and looked around. It was already dark, and there were gradually people on the road. It might be inconvenient to treat people on the street, so she said anxiously: "Wait, I'll call Someone will carry you in." After saying that, he wanted to stand up. "Don't..." The man grabbed Yan Wei, his voice was so weak that it would be blown away by a gust of wind, "Listen to me..." The man took out a small satin bundle with knotted corners from his arms.As soon as it was taken out, a knot fell apart, revealing the contents inside: a few strings of pearls, some copper coins, gold bubbles, some turquoise, agate, glazed beads, and two pieces of jade.Yan Wei immediately understood that these were also snatched from the people of Jiang Country... Thinking about it, Yan Wei unconsciously frowned.Young Master Sui...won't he restrain them?Didn't he know that these soldiers would be so reckless and invisible, and behave like this?Why not?Could it be... this is the reward given to the soldiers after the city is broken? ! The man said in a harsh voice, "These...you...bring them to Lu Jin for me, and find a way...to sell them for a good price. It should be...enough to feed the child until the age of sixteen?" After finishing speaking, he seemed unsure. , raised his eyes and looked at Yan Wei inquiringly, as if he wanted to get an affirmative answer. Yan Wei had a sore nose, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, with me, Lu Jin won't suffer." After Yan Wei finished speaking, she felt a pain in her heart. How many vows she had made in the past two days have failed. , Is it because my strength is too weak to protect anyone?Or is it that the gods are not benevolent and want to bestow death on the people they want to protect? Hearing Yan Wei's words, the man let out a relieved smile, and said, "She is still young, I advise her...to marry another person...don't make yourself miserable..." Yan Wei felt her throat was choked up, unable to speak, she just nodded with tears in her eyes. "This...also...bring her..." The man raised his hand with difficulty, grabbed the jade butterfly in his neck, and wanted to tear it off, but he didn't pull it, his arm just stayed there , the head tilted, and the person went.
