Chapter 331 Everything I did was for the young lady]
Qin Guihong turned around and stared at Qu Wenmin angrily, saying in a cold voice, "It was this ungrateful and heartless bastard who colluded with Beirong and secretly leaked the details of Dayu's deployment to the Beirong soldiers, causing Dayu to retreat step by step. In the end, he even put on a show with Beirong, pretending to be surrounded, luring us to send troops to rescue them. In the end, Grandpa, Daddy, and Big Brother died tragically! If Big Brother hadn't pressed me tightly under the dead body and told me to hold my breath and pretend to be dead, I'm afraid I would have become a lonely ghost who died unjustly!"
Qin Mengyue looked at Qu Wenmin with pale face and surprise.
Putting aside Qu Wenmin's ill intentions towards her, she had always believed that as a general trained by her father and brother, he should be trustworthy. Even when she learned that he had secretly sold firearms and gunpowder to the Northern Rong, she only thought that he had turned bad in recent years...
But it turned out that he was the one who killed all her loved ones?
Qin Guihong continued, "I was later rescued by a family from Dayu on the border. After a near-death experience, I finally managed to survive. For all these years, I have been hiding my identity, waiting for an opportunity to approach this beast, intending to kill him and avenge my grandfather, father, and brother, but I never found the chance. Today, I finally get to kill the enemy myself!"
As he spoke, Qin Guihong raised his sword angrily.
This time, Xiao Yunshuo did not stop him.
He had already learned the truth about the Qin family's men's deaths from Qin Guihong. He had previously stopped them because the timing was wrong, but now was the perfect time to kill Qu Wenmin!
However, just as Qin Guihong's sword was about to pierce Qu Wenmin's throat, Qu Wenmin suddenly raised his hand and scattered, and a handful of black balls as small as pearls suddenly spread in the air!
"Be careful!" Shen Fenghe shouted.
"Heavenly Thunder!" Xiao Yunshuo whispered, and his figure was like a ghost. He immediately grabbed Qin Guihong and used his superb lightness skills to disperse backwards!
Others, such as General Luo Yanchen and others, immediately hid behind when they heard the name "Tiannu Lei".
Xiao Yunshuo and Qin Guihong barely dodged, and suddenly there were explosions where they were standing, which was caused by the explosion of the black beads just now.
This kind of gunpowder is just as its name suggests, as small as a pearl, and when it is thrown out, it looks like flowers scattered by a fairy.
The killing power of Tiannv Lei is not too great. It is mainly used to scare horses on the battlefield. It is a weapon specifically aimed at the Beirong cavalry.
However, at such a close distance, those who didn't have time to dodge were blown to pieces, with blood and flesh all over the place. For a while, wailing sounds were heard one after another.
Although Xiao Yunshuo pulled Qin Guihong away and was not injured, Qu Wenmin took advantage of this incident and ignored the risk of being injured by the explosion. He went straight through the heavenly thunder he had scattered and rushed straight towards Qin Mengyue!
It was also because of this that Qu Wenmin was the one most seriously injured by the Heavenly Girl Thunder. His entire body was covered in blood, which was extremely terrifying!
Yuan Xu immediately fought back, but Qu Wenmin was unusually ferocious, perhaps because he was in a desperate situation. He slapped Yuan Xu with one palm, causing him to spit blood, and then he grabbed Qin Mengyue's throat!
"Qu Wenmin! Let my mother go!" Xiao Yunshuo immediately approached and shouted harshly.
Qu Wenmin caught Qin Mengyue's attention and took a few turns. He passed through the crowd and retreated to the door of the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored. Then he took out a fire starter from his arms!
"Don't come over here! Otherwise, I'll immediately ignite the gunpowder in this warehouse, and then we'll all explode together!"
Qin Mengyue's throat was strangled, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her face turned purple, and she rasped, "Qu... Wenmin, are you still... ahem... stubborn and refusing to change your ways? Just surrender... ahem... just surrender."
Seeing that she was in pain, Qu Wenmin slightly relaxed his grip on her throat, and suddenly leaned close to Qin Mengyue's ear and said calmly but with a hint of sadness: "Miss, everything I have done was for you, but now all my efforts have been wasted. Will you come with me?"
Qin Mengyue was filled with fear and astonishment. She looked at Qu Wenmin with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice, "For... me?"
Qu Wenmin's eyes were gentle yet heartbroken. He let out a mournful laugh and said, "Miss, are you still pretending to be clueless? I've been in love with you since 20 years ago. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings for you! I've let everyone down, but I'll never let you down..."
Everyone gathered around, and because of the gunpowder in the warehouse, they didn't dare to use firearms, but countless swords, spears and arrows were still aimed at Qu Wenmin.
Xiao Yunshuo also held a flying knife in his hand, intending to throw it out as soon as he found a flaw.
However, the person Qu Wenmin was threatening at the moment was his own mother, so he did not dare to act rashly.
Qu Wenmin suddenly laughed crazily and said, "Go ahead and shoot. If I can die with the young lady, my lifelong obsession will be worth it!"
"Mother! Wuuwu! Mother! Let me go! I want me!" Xiao Yunhao started crying out of fear.
While Chen Fenghe was comforting Xiao Yunhao, she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw Qu Wenmin had the idea of ​​committing suicide for love.
Qu Wenmin is paranoid and arrogant. If they really want to die together, the consequences will be unimaginable.
She pondered for a moment, then said loudly, "Qu Wenmin, you keep saying you'll never let Miss down. If you ignite the gunpowder in the warehouse today, or let Miss die with you, then not only won't you be letting her down, you'll be the one who hurts her the most!"
After hearing what Chen Fenghe said, Qu Wenmin's eyes flashed with intense struggle. Then, he suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Then what should I do? I can't get her while I'm alive, so can't I get her even after I die?"
The tone was filled with extreme sadness and despair.
He seemed a little discouraged, and his movements froze for a moment, no longer as alert as before.
Xiao Yunshuo seized the opportunity and shot out the hidden weapon in his hand!
With two "puff" sounds, the hidden weapon pierced into the flesh, however, it was not Qu Wenmin's body, but the chest of one of Qu Wenmin's men.
The subordinate immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned back to look at Qu Wenmin with difficulty and said, "General! You... cough cough... you should leave quickly! Here... we will drag you..."
At some point, a group of Qu Wenmin's men who were originally suppressed by the Shenhuo Camp led by Luo Yan with firearms, because they could not fire accidentally in front of the warehouse at this moment, took advantage of the chaos to escape the suppression and now rushed over to block Qu Wenmin.
Another of Qu Wenmin's men also said, "General! You saved the lives of us brothers. Even if we die for you today, we are willing! Please leave quickly!"
"They all thought the general's plan to lead his troops south was out of ulterior motives, to become that frivolous emperor. Only we know that the general did all this just for the young lady. Now that things are still the same, the general will take the young lady and escape, far away, to live out his life!"
Qu Wenmin choked up as he looked at these brothers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him when he was deserted by everyone.
He glanced at Qin Mengyue in his arms, gritted his teeth, and suddenly used his lightness skills to fly out of the valley!
"Qu Wenmin, let my mother go!" Xiao Yunshuo shouted coldly, and immediately used his lightness skills to chase after him. However, Qu Wenmin's men shot arrows all over the sky, many of which were shot at Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunhao.
Xiao Yunshuo had to temporarily slow down his movements and knock down the arrows one by one with his sword before he started chasing again.
Qu Wenmin and Qin Mengyue quickly left the valley and headed towards a secret road out of the mountain.
This road is flanked by a mountain wall on one side and a dangerous cliff on the other. Because it is so dangerous, it is rarely visited by people - and therefore, it is the best escape route.
"Miss, as long as we get out of the mountain, we can fly away! I don't want any glory or wealth. As long as I can be with you, eat simple meals, and live an ordinary life, I will be happy with it..." Qu Wenmin said softly and gently as he walked quickly.
Qin Mengyue whispered at this moment: "Qu Wenmin, if you don't let me go, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Wenmin had to stop.
"Miss, you... do you hate me that much?"
Qin Mengyue glared at him angrily and said, "You killed my father, brother, and nephew. Almost all of my loved ones perished in that battle. And you still ask me why I hate you so much?"
Qu Wenmin said gloomily and angrily, "They asked for it!"
Qin Mengyue was extremely angry.
She didn't understand. Her father and brother had worked hard to promote and train Qu Wenmin. If it weren't for her father and brother's keen eye for talent from the beginning, how could Qu Wenmin, a little beggar whose parents had both passed away and who was displaced in a remote area, become the great general he is today?
However, he turned his back on her and killed her father, brother, and nephew, yet he kept saying that they asked for it?
Qu Wenmin seemed to see through Qin Mengyue's thoughts and asked in a somewhat desolate tone, "Miss, you don't understand. The Qin family has done me a favor, so why do I say they brought this upon themselves? All of this... must have started twenty years ago..."
Qin Mengyue said nothing, but just looked at her with hatred, her whole body trembling slightly with anger and grief.
Qu Wenmin smiled bitterly and continued speaking:
"Twenty years ago, I followed the general into the capital for the first time. It was the first time I saw such a prosperous and prosperous scene. Later, the general took me to the Qin Mansion. The Qin Mansion was so large that it took up half the street. I had never seen such a grand house or eaten such exquisite food. At that time, you were only sixteen years old, innocent and carefree. You ignored the nanny in the back house and secretly ran to the front hall to watch the soldiers brought back from the border by the general practicing martial arts and playing with piles. You were naughty and climbed up the wall, but accidentally fell down. "Come, I happened to see you. I quickly ran over and caught you on my back, saving you from the fall. You got up, gave me an embarrassed smile, and gave me half of the roast chicken you were holding as a token of gratitude. You also told me not to tell anyone about this. Then you ran away like a deer, passing through the Moon Gate and before disappearing, you turned back and smiled at me. In that moment, I swore that I would achieve greatness in my life, become a superior person, enjoy wealth and honor, and marry you... Have you forgotten all this?"
