Chapter 214 I was attracted to her when I first saw her
Chen Duo didn't even know that the beautiful concubine he mentioned and the fairy-like beauty were the same person.
Yun Ji and Wei Chu looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
Wei Chu tightly grasped the marigold embroidery in his hand, and Yun Ji also touched the jade pendant hanging around his waist.
This was the first time he hung up the jade pendant. The red heart-shaped knot swayed slightly in the wind, as if gently caressing the warm jade on it, inexplicably resembling him and Su Rui.
A few months ago, she was like this, always teasing her dishonestly, with her eyes rolling around, and I don't know how many evil ideas she had hidden.
No adversity can defeat her; she can always find a way to survive and live a better life.
This time, it's the same.
She would definitely make the right judgment. Wu Feng should have already arrived in Beijing, and Su Rui should have left safely.
It’s a pity that I will never see her again.
What’s even more regrettable is that it was only at this moment that he truly understood his own heart.
His feelings for Su Rui were never just desire.
To him, Su Rui was never a calamity, but salvation.
He insisted that he was devoted to Buddhism and only wanted to become a monk and practice Mahayana Buddhism. In fact, he was just hiding in a cage with this as an excuse, blocking out all the fear, disgust and terror he once had from the cage, and sealing himself up. Even if the world changes drastically in the future, it would not hurt him at all.
The more the emperor pressed him, the tighter the cage he tightened, trying to avoid reliving the powerlessness of his childhood.
But even though he pretended to see through everything and even deceived himself, his heart was desolate and lonely, as if he was walking in the dark, with no light, no idea of the way forward, and hesitantly clinging to the lies he had woven.
Until Su Rui appeared, like the scorching sun, forcefully breaking through the cage, tearing through the darkness, and shining in regardless.
Seeing the light again, he was frightened and his first reaction was to hide, but she chased him and refused to give in.
Gradually, the fear faded away, and his instinctive yearning for the sun made him stop in the darkness and observe. The first warmth he felt was burning, but he felt the sun's heat again.
The fatal attraction draws him towards the light, but he dares not leave the long darkness and cage, afraid to face it.
It was not until the sunlight shone on him again and again that he walked closer and realized that it was not the sunlight, but an indomitable sunflower that grew towards the sun from the cracks.
She also struggled in adversity, but did not escape, did not deceive herself, and did not give up anything. She climbed upward tenaciously, unyieldingly, and even savagely, not letting go of anything she could climb onto, but not clinging to anything. She grew vigorously to grab everything she wanted.
He couldn't help but follow her, and was led by her, step by step out of the darkness, and finally, out of the cage.
It's just that he hasn't seen such vigor in a long, long time. It's obvious that it has been deeply rooted in his heart, but he instinctively dares not possess it. When he finally sees his heart clearly, he can't tell her.
I had already been attracted to her when she climbed up to Feiyun Pavilion.
"Hey, is there anyone listening to me?" After saying a lot of grievances, Shen Duo was so angry when he saw that no one responded to him.
The full men do not know the hunger of the hungry man. They refuse to listen to his complaints and do not even say a word of comfort to him when he is about to die.
Just as he was about to shout again, he saw Yun Ji and Wei Chu's faces both darken.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Duo also heard the sound.
The three of them stood up quickly and saw smoke and dust rising from afar, and a huge wall of people rushing towards them like a tsunami.
"Dongyue is about to launch a strong attack!" Wei Chu said.
Yun Ji took a deep breath, raised the bowl in his hand, drank the porridge inside, and shouted: "Blow the horn, and fight!"
The horns were blown one by one, and all the soldiers immediately grabbed their weapons and stood on their respective city walls and gates, staring at the approaching torrent with solemn expressions.
Everyone knows that this battle is a fight to the death.
"Charge! Take down the Great Zhao Dog!"
The Dongyue soldiers below shouted loudly, and ladders, grappling hooks, and siege vehicles all came into play.
The kerosene in the city had long been used up, and there were few arrows left. The soldiers, who had finally had their fill, could only smash down with the available stones, stab with their spears, and chop with their weapons that had gaping holes in them.
But the Dongyue soldiers attacking the city seemed to be desperate today. They were determined to use their lives to press a way into the city, and they rushed up one after another.
The advantage in numbers is hard to ignore. Even when defending the city, the Yanzhou army uses one person as much as ten people. Even if they have weapons in their stomachs, they cannot withstand the continuous attacks of the enemies.
An hour later, the south city wall was breached and the city gate was knocked open a moment later.
The Dongyue Army swarmed in like locusts. Yun Ji immediately kicked away the enemy pierced by the sword, turned around and kicked a long spear from the back, then turned around and asked the originally scheduled assault team to follow him to attract firepower.
He ran down the city wall, only to find Wei Chu and Shen Duo on his left and right.
"It's a military order to let you stay guarding the east gate!" Knowing what the two of them were going to do, Yun Ji hurriedly ordered them to retreat.
The two of them didn't stop at all. Chen Duo raised his head and said unconvincedly: "I am also a lonely man, which qualifies me as a stormtrooper. Besides, I said, I will follow you. Wherever you go, I will go too."
"I promised her that I would pursue my career. I can't let go of such an opportunity to compete for merit." Wei Chu said as he quickened his pace and rushed into the incoming enemy troops.
One after another, they were all the same as Wei Chu.
They agreed verbally, but when the time came, no one obeyed.
But now there is a powerful enemy in front of us, we can’t drive them away, we can only kill them!
Killing one more enemy may buy other soldiers a chance of survival.
Yun Ji's spear swung like a dragon, unstoppable; Shen Duo's machete was so fast that every cut could see the bone; Wei Chu was extremely powerful, and with a swing of the heavy long sword in his hand, he could clear an area.
The three of them formed a three-man team, and the vanguard team was fearless and unafraid of death or injury. They could fight ten with one and were not inferior to the others.
Wang Wuwei, who was weak and powerless, was not idle either. Even though he had been angered and sick, he still insisted on standing on the watchtower in the city, waving two chess pieces in his hands and constantly giving orders, directing the attack and escape.
My hands were so sore from dancing that I could hardly feel them, but I still gritted my teeth and persevered.
But the enemy troops that kept pouring in were like a mudslide rushing down the mountain.
At first, the city wall could still hold out, but as more and more came, it became more and more tired, and finally it was pushed down and submerged.
Everyone was already out of breath, their bodies covered with wounds, gritting their teeth and holding on, but they were at the end of their strength.
Defeat is imminent.
Fortunately, thousands of people have escaped, and half of them are still alive. Perhaps, the tragic battle in Weicheng can be spread, so that they will not die unjustly.
Wang Wuwei put down the flag.
The machete in Shen Duo's hand was stuck in the corpse and he couldn't pull it out despite great effort.
Wei Chu supported himself with the long sword in his hand, breathing heavily, while in front of him were hundreds of enemy soldiers holding scimitars, approaching step by step.
Yun Ji was still waving the spear in his hand, but he knew that if he held on for another moment, it would be the end.
The moonlight was bright, just like the night when he first met Su Rui in that Zen room.
When the spear pierced four of his limbs and could no longer be pulled out, Yun Ji looked up at the moon, ready to face death.
