Zhu Sijia's mouth was blocked by a rag and she couldn't make a sound.
If she had not been caught by the people, if she had gone to Xuzhou for help earlier, if she had chosen to go to Yanzhou from the beginning, she would not have caused Yan Xiu's predicament today.
The moment she saw Yan Xiu again, Zhu Sijia couldn't help but shake her head at him. How could Ji Yang's painstaking planning allow Yan Xiu to escape unscathed?
Yan Xiu was trying his best to hide his panic, but the tip of Tai'a sword was trembling slightly.
His body and face were all stained with blood, and his hair crown was scattered unknown where, and his long hair was scattered into a high ponytail.
The valley wind passed through slowly, and the messy hair brushed his cold and solemn face, dissipating into a solemn place.
Any praise would be inappropriate. At this moment, there is no difference between him and the young people behind him who are fighting for him. The youthful spirit all over his body is like the most beautiful sword in the world, unstoppable.
The slight trembling of the sword tip fell into Ji Yang's eyes. He knew that Yan Xiu had already surrendered, and he accepted his fate obediently.
Yan Xiu silently took Tai'a back and said in a deep voice: "Let her go, I will spare your life."
Zhu Sijia kept shaking her head to indicate to him. On her dirty cheeks, the two traces of washed away tears were particularly obvious. The beauty was crying softly, which made me feel pity for her.
Ji Yang pinched her neck: "Just let my life go? Empress Zhaoyi's life doesn't seem to be very valuable."
Soon, Zhu Sijia's neck turned red from being pinched by Ji Yang, and she frowned, looking extremely painful.
Yan Xiu stepped forward anxiously, and Ji Yang tightened his hand:
"Death under peonies, even a ghost is charming. Do you really want your beloved concubine to be buried with me?"
"Let her go. I will agree to whatever conditions you ask for." Yan Xiu threw Tai'a to the ground to show his sincerity, "I will do what I say."
Ji Yang's hand relaxed a little, and he even kindly took out the rag from Zhu Sijia's mouth.
He pinched Zhu Sijia's face and breathed lightly: "Beauty, one life for another, it depends on whether your majesty is willing."
Zhu Scarlett has been running around for a long time, and her throat hurts from being pinched by Ji Yang. No matter how delicate her voice is, it is hoarse and unpleasant to hear. She shouted directly at Yan Xiu:
"No! Your Majesty! My life doesn't matter, don't be fooled by him!"
Du Xian and others also sternly stopped Yan Xiu: "I hope Your Majesty will think twice! Ji Yang is full of tricks and is definitely not a trustworthy person."
Ji Yang had a confident smile on his face.
Yan Xiu: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of this world? Even if you can get out, aren't you afraid that the Great Qin cavalry will massacre countless cities across your land and completely drive out all the people to be buried with me?"
Ji Yang looked up to the sky and laughed: "I have no intention of surviving today's assassination. Yan Xiu, do you think I'm afraid?"
Bai Heng rebuked him loudly: "Ji Yang, you are simply unreasonable!"
Ji Yang curled his lips indifferently.
Yan Xiu turned around and shouted at Bai Heng and others: "Shut up, I have my own decision. Ji Yang, are you serious about this?"
He had already sketched out a trick in his mind to rescue Zhu Sijia, just waiting to distract Ji Yang.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yang said: "Of course it is true. I heard that your majesty is as resourceful as ten famous men. You should know how to negotiate terms with me. Even if your majesty really leaves your life on the line, the group of loyal ministers of Great Qin behind you , how can I escape unscathed?"
Yan Xiu waved his hand and ordered: "Listen to my order, everyone should retreat ten miles. No one is allowed to step forward without permission."
Bai Heng and others: "Your Majesty!"
Yan Xiu: "Quickly retreat!"
Bai Heng and others had no choice but to do as they were told, holding their weapons and retreating in tears.
If Ji Yang didn't hold any hostages, they could have stepped forward and cut him into pieces, but Zhu Scarlett was in his hands.
Zhu Sijia cried uncontrollably: "Xuanzhi, don't listen to him... don't... I beg you! This, this is my destiny, don't do it for me -"
Ji Yang covered her mouth, pinched her face hard, and threatened in a deep voice: "Just calm down."
Seeing that there was no one behind Yan Xiu, he smiled with satisfaction:
"Very good. Your Majesty's sincerity has been enough. You should know what to do next."
Zhu Sijia had never seen Yan Xiu look so lonely. His face was stiff and his hands were trembling as he went to pick up Tai'a from the ground.
He stood on a high platform, facing the wind, overlooking the world for so long that everyone thought he was not an ordinary person. No matter when and where he was, he would always be a calm, calm, majestic and heroic leader of the generation. He never thought about returning. Will it fall one day?
He shouldn't have fallen like this. He couldn't fall into this small, invisible sky. Even if he wanted to leave, he would leave with great fanfare. He is the emperor of Great Qin! The future emperor of the ages!
Yan Xiu grabbed Tai'a, his eyes suddenly softened, as if he was holding a pool full of spring water.
He looked at Zhu Sijia and lightly opened his chapped, pale lips. The blood stains on the corners of his mouth were a bit more colorful. He seemed to be saying his final farewell:
"Now that I am dead, I wish Sijia that you should become the Queen Mother of the Qin Dynasty. After returning to Xijing, let King Xiang Jiwei and the Prime Minister regent first, and you hang up the curtain. If the King of Xiang has an heir during his reign, he can be adopted by his knees and become the next emperor of Qin Dynasty. "
Ji Yang couldn't help but watch Yan Xiu say his last words. He was about to die, so why not let him say goodbye to his beloved woman.
At the moment of farewell, Zhu Sijia couldn't even say a word to Yan Xiu. Was she going to watch Yan Xiu die in front of her?
She bit Ji Yang's hand hard, and Ji Yang let go of her in pain. Her palm was bleeding from her bite.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Sijia wanted to break away from Ji Yang, and wanted to hit Tai Ajian and die. Ji Yang was angered by her and grabbed her back tightly, saying viciously:
"I advise you to give up this idea!"
After Ji Yang finished attacking her, the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the wind came from behind.
When he came to his senses, he turned around and looked behind him. He didn't know when his remaining body fell to the ground, lying crookedly on the ground, and warm blood spurted out from his neck.
He met Suiyu's ice-like eyes.
Suiyu was holding on to the wall, and Moyu was holding his sword, both standing a few feet behind him.
Ji Yang didn't know why he was injured. Blood surged from his neck and quickly flooded his trachea, making him unable to breathe smoothly. I didn't expect that the person who took action could kill him with one blow at the critical moment——
The talented people around Yan Xiu were still far beyond his imagination.
No wonder Yan Xiu just said these affectionate words to Zhu Sijia. He had already seen the hope and deliberately distracted himself.
Even if he dies, he still has someone to support him.
Yan Xiu strode forward to rescue Zhu Sijia from his hands, but it was still a step too late.
Ji Yang quickly stuffed a lot of powder into her mouth.
Suiyu immediately attacked Ji Yang's left arm with a hidden weapon. Yan Xiu raised Tai'a and cut off Ji Yang's right arm, and pulled Zhu Sijia into his arms.
Zhu Sijia didn't know what Ji Yang fed her. The medicine dissolved in water and had already slipped down her throat when it reached her mouth, making it impossible to spit it out.
Yan Xiu hurriedly hugged her and sat on the ground, stretched out two fingers stained with blood and mud, and stirred them into her mouth without hesitation, stimulating her throat over and over again. He said helplessly:
"Cicada, spit it out quickly."
