Chapter 255 A Loyal Heart Shining in the Sky
All the Western Liao people were killed, and Aguding's head was hung above the city gate.
Bai Yi took Gumu Ke to the city gate and let the people who came back one after another stab him with knives to vent their anger.
He also knelt on the ground and apologized.
"It was my stupidity and my inability to see clearly that led to today's disaster. I cannot shirk my responsibility. Please feel free to vent your anger, fellow villagers. I will not pursue any questions!"
But no one hit him or scolded him.
"Sir, we already know that the imperial court has abandoned this place. You rushed back to rescue us. Why should we blame you?"
Said a group of people who rushed back, supporting each other.
"You know?"
"Yes, sir, the people of Yangguan said so, and the governor there told them to flee to Honghua.
Some people let them go, but we are no longer in good health and can’t walk that far, so we’d better come back and die at home.”
"No! I will never let you die!"
Bai Yi stood up and pointed, "The doctor is already brewing a detoxifying soup. Go drink a bowl, it will definitely cure you."
"Thank you, sir!"
All the people ran towards the medicine shed.
Gumu Ke was covered in blood and had multiple stab wounds all over his body.
The people are still too kind, and none of them hurt anyone.
She laughed sarcastically, "Bai Yi, don't waste your time. Even if you take back Liangzhou, this place will be an empty city.
There's no antidote to that poison."
Bai Yi stabbed with his backhand, missing the heart by three points.
"Cough cough cough...Sir, you haven't vented enough yet, right?" Gumu Ke said in an inaudible voice.
"But I can't hold on any longer..."
She raised her head, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and smiled seductively and cruelly.
"Bai Yi, you're still not ruthless enough. You asked me where Ding San is. Let me tell you, I killed him!
Do you know how he died? I chopped off his hands and feet, broke his spine, dug out his heart, and finally, threw him into an iron pot, boiled him, and fed him to the dogs.
You saw those pots, they could cook at least a hundred people.
So, you can’t even get back a piece of his rotten flesh! Hahahahaha…”
"ah!!!"
Bai Yi went crazy and slashed at him with bloodshot eyes.
Broken hands, broken feet, broken spine, and finally, a knife stabbed into Gumu Ke's heart.
"Sir...are you happy?"
"Dingsan, in my small courtyard, in the cellar..."
Gumu Ke smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
She really, really thought about leaving with him, finding a place where no one knew them, and being an ordinary couple.
However, he would rather marry a woman he didn't know than be with her.
Six years ago, that ambitious and upright young man was the most dazzling light she had ever met.
Also, her disaster.
Gumu Ke's pupils gradually dilated.
Bai Yi stopped and looked at the messy corpse, stunned for a moment.
But soon, it turned into indifference and hatred.
"Throw it out! Such filth is not allowed to stay in Liangzhou City!"
Then, he ran madly towards the courtyard where Mr. Hong once lived.
He remembered that he was the one who found that yard for her...
After removing the hay and the heavy stone slabs, he went down to the cellar and was stunned.
There is not only Ding San, but also dozens of women.
Although they are all dying, they are all alive.
…
Yangguan.
The sun sets in the west.
The sounds of fighting are coming to an end.
Thick smoke billowed, and broken spears and swords were buried under the soil and corpses.
Torn clothes, bloody corpses were everywhere.
"The general of Yangguan City has been killed. Cut off his head for me!"
"Break down the city gate! Kill!"
The loud charge sounded.
When the city gate was about to be broken open, powerful reinforcements arrived in time and once again blocked the ferocious cavalry outside.
Western Liao was unaware of the situation and urgently withdrew its troops.
"Su Huiye—Su Huiye—" Yan Meng led his men out.
"Quickly check if anyone is alive!"
Amidst the thick smoke, a red flag was slowly raised.
Yan rushed over.
Lift up a corpse and pull out the person underneath.
"Huo Jiangchu?"
Huo Jiangchu crawled towards the corpse that Yan Meng had opened, crying, "General—"
It was the general who finally pinned him down, allowing him to find a chance to escape.
"Su Huiye?"
Yan Meng quickly asked people to carry Huo Jiangchu away, and he carried Su Huiye on his back and ran towards the city.
"Medic, medic!"
Su Huiye was no longer able to survive. Half of his face was covered in blood, and blood was flowing from his mouth like a stream.
"I didn't expect... to see Brother Yan again."
"Nonsense! I'm here to incite you to rebel, so you better support me!"
"Hehehe... Back then, I suspected you were a traitor... and you turned out to be."
"Then why did you let me go? How can you be a city defense general!" Yan Meng roared.
"Marquis Boyang... is a hero who guards the border. I, I respect him very much... Even if you are a rebel, you will not harm the people."
He also knew that there was a group of people hiding in the mountains, and they were from the Huo family.
He secretly observed them for a few days and confirmed that they were just guarding the Huo family, so he did not alarm them.
Su Huiye's voice became weaker and weaker.
"Su Erdan! Hold on! Don't you want to go back to Yequan? I've brought a lot of soldiers with me, let's fight back together!"
"I can't go back...
"Yes, yes, please don't die. Don't you have a girl you like? You have to go back! You can't let her wait for you!"
Yan Meng's high voice could hardly be maintained.
Su Huiye stretched his hand forward with great effort.
Holding a string of bright red love knots in her hand.
The red is glaring.
Because it was stained with blood.
"Give it back to her for me... and put an end to it. Otherwise, she will always miss me..."
I shouldn't have provoked them in the first place. I thought there wouldn't be a war...
I didn't expect the Western Liao dog to change its mind so quickly.
"You return it yourself! I won't answer it!" Yan Meng didn't answer it.
Let the knot of love dangle back and forth, back and forth...
Finally, it fell to the ground.
Yan Meng also stopped.
A final sigh echoed in my ears: "Let's be brothers in the next life... Zhao, sister."
Damn it.
He did this on purpose!
But this was the only time someone called him by this name, and Yan Meng didn't get angry.
I even wanted him to scream a few more times.
He admitted that he was not a good person and had a hard heart, but he felt a kind of admiration for Su Huiye, with whom he had once communicated, just like he had for the Marquis.
Admiration for heroes.
He could have withdrawn.
But he stayed.
For the country, for the people, and for the oath made.
Especially when they heard the soldiers report that poisoned food was scattered on the roads in the city, they understood his final arrangement even more.
Really...
The blood-stained battle robe seeps through the armor, and a loyal heart shines in the sky!
"In the next life, we must be brothers!"
Yan Meng picked up the love knot on the ground and put the person who was gradually suffering from hypothermia into an empty room.
The murderous aura surged.
"Collect the poisonous food and follow this general out of the city!"
