Li Wu was forced to the end of the road, and took Prince Jinling hostage to force Ling Yun to commit suicide. Seeing that Ling Yun and Princess Huanyu were unable to make a decision, he couldn't help but became angry, and violently exerted force on his sword-wielding wrist, threatening to kill Prince Jinling together.
Ling Yun hurriedly shouted: "Stop!...
Li Xuan stopped and said, "Commander Ling, have you finally made up your mind?"
Ling Yun glanced at him with an indifferent expression and said, "As long as I die, you can let the prince go, right?"
A hint of a conspiracy-successful smile appeared on Li Wu's lips, "Yes, as long as you, Commander Ling, are dead, I believe no one here can threaten me - Commander Ling, we can make an agreement!"
Ling Yun lowered his eyelids and pondered for a moment; when he raised his head again, his originally ambiguous eyes were full of persistence and determination, "Okay, I promise you."
He turned around and glanced sadly at Princess Huanyu, who was crying so hard that she was breathless, and said sadly: "Princess, please take care of yourself; it was indeed my fault that day and I shouldn't have yelled at you. If there is still a chance..."
He wanted to say something more, but he didn't know how to continue, so he shook his head helplessly and stopped.
He slowly pulled out a short sword from his waist, stared at it silently for a moment, then suddenly turned the sword over and inserted it into his chest without the handle...
His body shook violently, and then slowly fell down.
Huan Yu screamed miserably, "No!..." Staggering forward, she hugged Ling Yun's bloody body and burst into tears. She cried repeatedly: "County horse! County horse!... You... how are you? You should say something!..."
Li Wu witnessed the tragic scene of Ling Yun's suicide with his own eyes. He felt very happy and laughed proudly.
Halfway through his laughter, he stopped abruptly. There was a sleeve arrow tied around his neck. Purple-black blood was pouring out, covering his clothes. The long sword in his hand also "thumped" and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Yang Zhen performed a swift and fierce "hungry tiger pounce", like an arrow from the string, rushing forward and knocking Li Wu's body several feet away.
Prince Jinling was finally freed from the threat of death, and his body collapsed on the ground. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and rushed over to help.
Li Wu fell to the ground and was still breathing. He opened his eyes unwillingly. Those eyes on the verge of death stared straight at Yang Zhen and murmured: "You...you..."
Yang Zhen sneered and said: "My name is Yang Zhen, an unknown person from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. Li Wu, do you know why you died? Because you underestimated the enemy too much! Do you think that no one can do anything about it except Commander Ling?" You, you are wrong!"
A trace of resentment flashed in Li Wu's desperate eyes, "I am conceited and underestimate the enemy, and I will die if I die; but you should not use poison - I didn't expect that you so-called modest gentlemen... can be so despicable and vicious..."
Yang Zhen sneered and said: "This is called treating the other person with his own way. Do you know, in fact, the arrow in your sleeve that killed you belongs to your brother! I'm just taking advantage of it."
Li Wu was so angry that his whole body trembled violently. He finally said nothing more, rolled his eyes, and died.
On Ling Yun's side, Lu Wenzheng, Xu Zhi and others had already gathered around him; Prince Jinling panted for a long time, and finally slowly recovered, supported by Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang, he came tremblingly to see him.
Huanyu hugged his body and cried repeatedly, grief-stricken. Ling Yun's hands were still holding the dagger tightly, and his palms were filled with blood, gurgling and dyeing his snow-white front a bright red.
At this time, he slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Princess Princess, are you...still angry with me?..."
Huan Yu cried: "I'm not angry with you a long time ago! Jun Ma, how do you feel? Don't scare me!..."
Ling Yun shook his head gently, and said angrily: "I... am about to die. Everyone will die eventually, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. I died for the prince. I died well, and I died without regrets... …”
Huanyu's eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed: "Jun Ma, you won't die, I don't want you to leave me!..."
Ling Yun took a breath and said intermittently: "My only regret now is that... I can't take you back to the Junma Mansion. The last time I came to the Jinling Palace, I obviously wanted to... take you back, but..."
Huanyu's eyes were swollen like overripe peaches, and she burst into tears and said, "Don't say anything! You blame me for what happened last time. I shouldn't make trouble unreasonably, let alone make things difficult for you like that... I just don't Do you know if there is any chance of compensation now..."
A flash of light flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, and he said anxiously: "So, you forgive me?"
"Um!……"
"If there is still a chance to make amends, will you agree to go back home with me?"
Huan Yu nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely promise you!"
"real?"
Huan Yu choked up and said, "I swear to God, if I go back on my word and don't keep my word, I will be turned into a pig and a dog in the next life, and I will never be reincarnated!"
Ling Yun suddenly burst into laughter and said loudly, "Then I'll be relieved!" He gently pushed away Huan Yu's arms that were holding him tightly, and suddenly stood up from the ground.
Everyone was startled by him and took a few steps back involuntarily. Huan Yu also opened her autumn-like eyes in shock and stammered: "Jun Ma, you... what are you..."
A leisurely smile appeared on Ling Yun's thin lips, and he said lightly: "I was just trying to deceive others. Do you think I would be so stupid? If that thief Li Wu wants me to die, I have to obey him and really go." Die?"
Huan Yu was surprised and said: "But just now I clearly saw you piercing the dagger deeply..."
Ling Yun smiled calmly, raised the dagger, pressed the spring, and the blade retracted into the handle; pressed it again, and the blade popped out again - it turned out that this was a dagger that could be freely retracted. spring dagger.
Everyone suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing.
Yang Zhen's eyebrows flashed and he said, "There's just one more thing I can't figure out. Brother Ling, where did you get so much blood on your body and hands?"
Ling Yun said: "I just cut my palm and used it as a cover-up. At the same time..."
Having said this, his face could not help but darken, and he looked at Zhao Renyi, who was lying on the ground and died for the prince, with a pair of sad eyes, and sighed softly: "At the same time, there is also a contribution from Butler Zhao. Only It's a pity that I couldn't save him at that time..." At this point, he shook his head sadly and lowered his head feebly.
It turns out that Zhao Renyi was kicked in the front by Li Wu just now, and when Ling Yun went to help him, he vomited Ling Yun's blood. This was the same place where Ling Yun stabbed him when he pretended to commit suicide, so he tried to confuse the fake with the real one. Moreover, the situation at the time was tense and panicked. , no one noticed this.
Huan Yu finally understood what was going on. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said angrily: "Okay, so you were just teasing me! Let's see if I can still forgive you!..." with a tight pretty face. , chased Ling Yun relentlessly and beat him.
Ling Yun dodged and said with a smile: "Princess, I was wrong, you have a lot of money, please spare me this time! But just now I really had no choice, so I took this last resort; not to mention the situation at that time Come on, I'm just following a trick!"
Huanyu was embarrassed and annoyed: "You still say that!"
Ling Yun's crystal eyes turned, and he said in a somewhat affectionate tone: "By the way, Princess, you just agreed to go back to the house with me. I wonder when we will leave?"
Huan Yu curled her lips and said, "It's a beautiful idea, I won't go back!"
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows and said: "How can the princess go back on her word? Who just swore in public and said that she turned a pig into a dog?"
Huan Yu's face was red, she chased and beat him and said: "You are still arranging me!" The two of them laughed and made a fuss.
Lu Wenzheng on the side couldn't stand Ling Yun's unruly behavior, and thought to himself: As a dignified court official and a county horse, he was laughing and playing like this in public, without any respect for himself, how could he behave like this? His face darkened, and he coughed heavily and said, "Commander Ling——"
Ling Yun also realized that he had lost his composure at this time; he glanced at Mr. Lu and saw that he was glaring at him with a stern look. He quickly calmed down his indulgent emotions, lowered his head and silently stepped aside, holding his breath and concentrating, no longer Speak.
Huan Yu also followed Ling Yun to stand next to him, stretched out her delicate jade hand, and gently held Ling Yun's left hand.
Ling Yun's eyes as clear as lake water turned, looked at her, and whispered: "Princess, are you finally willing to forgive me?"
Huanyu didn't speak, but smiled charmingly at him.
The prince of Jinling was very happy to see the young couple getting back together; but when he saw Zhao Renyi, the loyal butler who died for him, being carried out, he felt sad in his heart. He sighed, and his face became sad...
The hut is in a human environment, without the noise of carriages and horses.
When I ask you how you can do it, your mind is far away and you are biased.
Picking fences at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, Nanshan Mountain appears leisurely.
The mountain air is getting better day by day and the birds are flying back and forth.
There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten to explain it.
Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue were living this kind of leisurely and happy pastoral life at this time. During the day, the two of them farmed in the fields together; in the evening, they both returned home from hoeing, accompanied by the old cow returning at dusk, and the shepherd boy's singing floated in their ears. When they raised their heads, they saw blue sky, white clouds, and a ray of sunset.
When they got home, the two of them were busy making fire and cooking. Outside, there is smoke from the cooking pots, and in the fenced courtyard, chickens and dogs hear each other; in the atrium, a gardenia tree is in full bloom, and the fragrant floral fragrance flows in the evening breeze. The fragrance is fragrant and intoxicating.
On this day, Jiang Chun went out for something, and Lu Qiuyue was at home alone; Lian Nanchun came to see her with a smile on his face.
Lu Qiuyue hurriedly greeted her with a smile as bright as a flower: "Oh, sister Lian, you haven't been here for a long time. I miss you so much! Is there anything going on when I come here this time?"
