Xie Yushu had just finished killing a big Tatar with Nanxing when she was bumped from behind and stumbled. But Xie Yushu had no time to pay attention to it. She took the opportunity to deflect the long sword coming at her with an upward slash, squatted down and swung her hand horizontally, piercing the abdomen of an enemy and relieving the immediate danger. Only then did she turn her head to take a look.
That one glance, however, caused her heart to ache once again.
"Summoning Earth?"
"Summon the Earth!"
Clearly, Nanxing, Zhao Hu, and the others had also seen Zhao Tu's situation.
I simply don't have the time to spare.
Zhao Tu's right chest was sunken, his face was deathly pale, and his mouth was full of blood. He looked at Xie Yushu with resentment, as if he wanted to say something.
"Summon the Earth!"
Xie Yushu squatted down, looked at him, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Zhao Tu, you've done enough! You are my warrior, I will always remember you, you, Chun Yu, we will always be together."
Go in peace!
As Xie Yushu finished speaking, Zhao Tu closed his eyes.
"Summon the Earth!"
Hongmei was closest to Xie Yushu and Zhaotu at this moment. Seeing Zhaotu die in front of her, Hongmei could no longer control her grief and shouted Zhaotu's name.
But the fighting didn't stop; it seemed like it would be a fight to the death.
But the death of one's comrades and fellow soldiers is more painful than death itself; the pain is persistent and deep, reaching the heart and the bones.
Only killing the enemy can slightly alleviate their pain; that pain is like poison, and only the enemy's blood can relieve it.
The deaths of Chunyu and Zhaotu reminded Hongmei of the two brothers who died at the manor.
It's all her fault. She misjudged people and let a wolf into the house. If she hadn't insisted on bringing Chen Da into the manor, if she hadn't foolishly opened her heart to Chen Da and told him about the repeating crossbow, would this disaster have happened?
Chunyu, Zhaotu, Liu Ji, and so many other brothers—won't they die either?
Thinking of all this, Hongmei felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and became obsessed with killing Chen Da. Would the war end if Chen Da died?
With that thought in mind, Hongmei dodged left and right with a few leaps, avoiding the surrounding enemies and heading straight for Fuguang.
She ignored any attempts to intercept her, even when knives slashed her body and swords pierced her legs. As long as she had a breath left and could still move, she would rush straight to Fu Guang's side without stopping.
Fu Guang recognized her, of course. Seeing her covered in wounds, he waved his hand, signaling his men to stop attacking Hongmei, and said indifferently...
"I don't want to kill you. If you surrender and serve me, I can keep you as my concubine!"
Hongmei smiled sadly.
"Oh!
Chen Da!
No, I should call you Prince Fuguang now!
"To be honest, I was blind to your talent and didn't deserve your affection!"
Fu Guang frowned, and said impatiently.
"I have already said that I lied to you, but you also stabbed me with an arrow, so we are even."
Considering that we know each other, if you surrender, I can take you as my concubine!
This is to repay you for taking care of me back then.
Ha! Hahaha!
"Repayment! What a wonderful repayment!"
Hongmei laughed until tears streamed down her face, then suddenly stopped, and asked with a sorrowful expression.
"If Chen Da hadn't been supporting Guang back then, would he have ever loved Hongmei?"
Fu Guang listened, his lips pursed slightly, and he did not respond.
Hongmei understood; no response was itself a response, and so she said sorrowfully.
"Turns out I was just a joke all along!"
As he spoke, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed horizontally at Fu Guang. As Fu Guang parried, a dagger struck his exposed neck.
Even though Fu Guang realized he had been tricked and tried to dodge, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, the dagger pierced Fu Guang's neck.
At the same time, seeing their master killed right before their eyes, the guards around Fu Guang also attacked in unison. Hong Mei was instantly stabbed multiple times, and seeing Fu Guang on the verge of death, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Hong Mei's mouth as she said pitifully...
"Now we're even!"
If she could do it all over again, Hongmei would never want to meet Chen Da again!
After saying that, he slowly turned around and knelt down in the direction of Xie Yushu.
Then he collapsed to the ground.
"Red Plum!"
"Red Plum!"
Qu Xiaodie stumbled and almost lost her footing.
"Silly girl, all of this was premeditated by the Tatars, it has nothing to do with you!"
ah! "
Qu Xiaodie rushed towards Hongmei like a madwoman.
Seeing this, Xie Yushu thought that since there were enemy troops all around, it didn't matter where they fought, so she simply followed them. Nanxing, Zhao Hu, and Mu Li also followed along while fighting.
There's no way to retreat; we'll die together.
Upon reaching Hongmei's side, Xie Yushu and Nanxing Zhao Humu stood back to back, facing the enemy. Qu Xiaodie stepped forward, helped Hongmei up, and hugged her, her eyes red from crying.
"You idiot, you're such an idiot!"
We don't blame you at all!
Yu Shu, you agree, right? You should tell her quickly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yushu, fighting back tears, shouted loudly.
"The fault is not yours. The Tatars are wolves in sheep's clothing. This battle was bound to happen sooner or later. You were just an innocent victim."
I've never blamed you!
Nanxing also cried.
You will always be my sister.
Hongmei had too many knife and sword wounds, and was losing blood very quickly. In just a short while, the area beneath her was covered in red blood.
She seemed to still be somewhat conscious. Upon hearing the voices of Qu Xiaodie and Xie Yushu, a tear rolled down her cheek, and she passed away peacefully.
At this moment, Qu Xiaodie was already seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.
Xie Yushu, Nanxing, Zhao Humu, and the others were also at their last gasp.
The defense was quickly broken down.
Xie Yushu was outmatched. She blocked the knife in front of her, but was stabbed from behind. She staggered and knelt down in front of Qu Xiaodie.
It turned out that Zhao Hu and Mu Li, who were behind her, were also separated and seriously injured. One went to another place, while the other struggled against the wall.
Seeing another slash coming towards Xie Yushu, Nanxing abandoned his defense and stood in front of Xie Yushu. After exchanging a few blows, he too was stabbed in the abdomen and fell down beside Xie Yushu.
Xie Yushu helped Nanxing up and put her in her arms.
Qu Xiaodie used her last bit of strength to swing her knife with one hand, cutting down the nearest enemy, and leaned against Xie Yushu.
"Nanxing, Qu Xiaodie, we'll be able to see Chunyu and Hongmei soon!"
Are you scared?
Qu Xiaodie sneered
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we're together, it doesn't matter where we are."
Don't worry, I'll still have your back over there!
"Princess, sister, I'm not afraid. Following you is the happiest thing in my life!"
The men were covered in blood, their faces pale and disheveled, but their eyes still held a sharp light as they stared intently at the Tatars, ready to die for their cause.
Death was imminent. Xie Yushu and the others were prepared, but unexpectedly, an arrow pierced through the air and went straight through the man who was wielding a knife and attacking them.
Then came the second, the third, and then more and more arrows flying in. Amid the Tatars' panic, the sounds of horses' hooves and shouts of battle could be heard.
"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"
Qu Xiaodie asked in surprise.
