A sturdy figure stumbled towards Guicheng. The Beiyi soldiers guarding the city discovered this person and hurriedly reported it to Qi Guoxie who was recovering from his injuries in the city.
Meng Mulie is back.
After a while, Qi Guoxie led a large group of Northern Yi civil servants and generals to the outside of the city.
"Khan, why are you...injured like this?"
Qi Wukuoxie looked at Meng Mulie in disbelief, seeing that he was covered in blood, and some wounds on his body were even deep enough to show the bones. One hand hung down limply, as if it was broken, and looked very embarrassed.
Meng Mulie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Qi Wukuoxie came up to him, but before he could hear what he said clearly, Meng Mulie fell down and lay on top of him.
"Hurry, help the Great Khan enter the city!" The surrounding Beiyi officials were all panicked and hurriedly tried to come up and take Meng Mulie away.
"No, I'll do it myself!" Qi Guoxie stopped everyone, picked up Meng Mulie on his back, and walked into the city step by step.
…
On the official road back to Jincheng, there is a large open space, which is extremely vast. Before, this place seemed to be a resting place for pedestrians, but now there are no traces of pedestrians.
The ground was scorched black over a wide area, as if it had been burned by fire.
There were exactly ten people lying in this charred land. Broken weapons and destroyed puppets were scattered around, showing that the battle was extremely fierce.
The ten Chen Congwei all have Qi like a gossamer.
"Ha...Meng Wulie...it's also harmful after all." Qingtian vomited blood and couldn't speak clearly.
"It's okay, at least we...stopped him." Jihai's situation was not much better than Qingtian's.
Lan Yue slowly stretched out her hand, and a broken Bagua afterimage appeared in her palm. After flickering for a while, it finally disappeared without a trace.
"Don't bother... We are all dead and can't be saved..." Zhaixing saw Lan Yue's movements and persuaded: "You are in a similar situation. If you have anything to say... write it down..."
"Write it down...will anyone see it?" Shanshan looked at the sky, not knowing whether he was asking himself or others.
Tui Lin reached out and groped around in his arms with difficulty, and grabbed two rock candies, but these two rock candies could not be brought to his mouth...
Nafeng still had the smile on his face: "Tui Lin... I'll help you, you... give me one." As he spoke, he crawled on the ground with difficulty, but he didn't move for a long time.
Fanyu closed his eyes and said nothing. He always spoke very little, and now that talking was a waste of energy, he was even less willing to speak.
Lijiang clenched his fist and tried his best not to tighten it too tightly: "My ax...should hit his head!"
Zangyun blinked and looked at the gradually darkening sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Zangyun...Is Zangyun still alive?" Qingtian didn't hear Zangyun speak, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and asked.
"Let's go soon..." Zangyun didn't want to answer, but he didn't want Qingtian to worry either.
Jiahai smiled: "Let's talk about...happy things. If you don't serve as guards anymore, what do you want to do?"
"Of course he is traveling in the world... he is a chivalrous person..." Na Feng was the first to answer: "I know Tui Lin, he must... want to sell candied haws on a stick..."
"I just want to go back to the countryside and farm..." Tui Lin rolled his eyes at Na Feng, dissatisfied with him rushing to answer for him.
Qingtian also thought about it and said: "I want to raise eagles and open a falconry farm... and sell them to the adults in the court. Who dares not to buy it!?"
"Lijiang, what about you?"
"Me? I want to chop off the head of Meng Mulie...that old boy!"
Qingtian curled his lips and continued to ask: "Zangyun...Zangyun, I know, he must...ahem...must want to marry a wife."
Zhaixing interrupted: "Who doesn't want to? I also want to marry a wife... What a pity, she is almost forty..."
"Fan Yu, don't you want to chat?" Qingtian asked again.
Everyone waited for a moment but heard no response, thinking that Fan Yu had already taken the first step. He then said slowly: "If you don't want to be a member of the Chen Guard, you can become a Yin Meng Guard..."
Everyone laughed, and they all knew in their hearts that Fan Yu's idea was the most practical. They had stayed in the palace all their lives and had long been used to it. After leaving the palace and the capital, they really didn't know what to do next.
"Lanyue, it's your turn, what do you want to do?" Jiahai noticed that Lanyue had been silent since she failed to mobilize her inner strength to use Bagua.
When everyone heard Jia Hai's question, they all noticed Lan Yue, but he didn't move at all, and his chest didn't move at all.
"Zhaixing...what's going on?" Qingtian hurriedly asked Zhaixing, who was closest to Lanyue.
Zhaixing sighed softly: "Alas... Lanyue is gone."
"You must have wanted to save us just now, so you activated your inner strength...the injury got worse..." Zhaixing could clearly see Lan Yue's movements.
Everyone was silent. Although they knew that everyone was now doomed, they still felt very uncomfortable when they actually heard that Lan Yue, who they had known each other day and night, was dead.
Among the remaining nine people, only Nafeng still smiled playfully at this moment: "What are you doing? Have fun... It's so embarrassing to walk away so ugly and be discovered... How embarrassing..."
"This guy Lan Yue... it's my job to open the way. When will it be his turn... I... I'll go find him!" Na Feng smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
"Na Feng..." Jia Hai watched helplessly as Na Feng closed his eyes and died, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
Tui Lin smiled: "It's all a matter of time...don't be sad, Na Feng is right..."
Fanyu gave a bitter smile and said, "Oh, I'm sleepy... let's sleep for a while..."
Everyone's voices sounded one after another and disappeared one after another.
After a while, out of the ten Chen Congwei, only Qingtian, Jiahai and Zangyun were left alive.
"Now when I think about the time when I first entered the palace...it seems like a dream..." Qingtian muttered: "Jiahai...you kid dared to grab a gun with me..."
"Oh, what? Can't you grab it?"
"I was not convinced anymore... If Taibao Qian hadn't stopped me... I would have dealt with you!"
"If I meet Taibao Qian later and ask..."
"When asked, just say that we have defeated the Beiyi... Don't let Qian Taibao and the late emperor still worry..."
"Okay! We've all been beaten back... You, Hero Qingtianqing, fought back all by yourself, hahahahaha..."
"Remember... I'm fast, I'll go first... That's it! Hahahaha..."
The laughter of the three people became lower and lower and gradually disappeared...
…
Duan Tong was tired and sleepy while driving the carriage, but he did not dare to relax. He looked back from time to time, fearing that Meng Mulie would catch up.
The carriage ran very fast, and as soon as it left the northern boundary, it was spotted by the scouts arranged by Zhou Ziru.
Man Yong woke up and saw the food left by Chen Congwei in the carriage. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened it and ate it. At the same time, he didn't forget to turn on the kettle and carefully gave Yi Xiaodao some water.
"Duan...Brother Duan, there is some food in the car, please eat some..." Duan Tong was not forgotten.
Duan Tong opened his tired eyes and replied: "I'm not hungry. Are you Yi Xiaodao's apprentice? Come and see how your master is doing."
Man Yong replied: "I gave him some water..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Man Yong saw He Yue'er's body lying inside.
"Master's wife... Wuwuwu... Master's wife!" Man Yong threw himself on He Yue'er's body and cried loudly.
Duan Tong was upset by the crying, but he couldn't blame him at this time, so he could only endure his displeasure and whip the carriage hard.
"Hey~!"
The horse couldn't hold on anymore and ran all afternoon and most of the night. It neighed and fell to the ground.
The reins were still on the horse, and the horse fell to the ground. The reins instantly tightened, causing the carriage to sway, and was about to overturn.
Duan Tong jumped down from the carriage, jumped to the side, and pressed his hands firmly against the carriage: "Little apprentice! Hurry... cut off the reins!"
Manyong wiped away his tears, rummaged around in the carriage, pulled out a long knife, slashed it down, and cut off the reins.
The car was finally stable.
"Huh..." Duan Tong collapsed directly to the ground.
Manyong stuffed a piece of sesame cake and handed it to Duan Tong: "Why do you suddenly want to help us?"
Duan Tong took the cake, jumped into the car, checked on Yi Xiaodao and He Yue'er, and finally focused on He Yue'er.
"Your wife told me that the current His Majesty in Daqi is no longer the same Majesty..."
"The late emperor died ten years ago, I know it." Man Yong said in confusion.
Duan Tong shook his head: "I'm talking about this little emperor. He is not from our world. The original Zhao family, the last little emperor, died seven years ago. I don't know where this immortal came from. The ghost took over the little emperor's body and became the emperor."
"Hey, that sounds like a fantasy."
After Duan Tong finished speaking, he couldn't believe it.
Man Yong was stunned and thought about it carefully: "If you say so, it is indeed true that after Master's hometown, Wancheng, suffered a flood, Nanhuai and Donglu also surrendered to the imperial court one by one. Exactly seven years ago , when His Majesty was seriously ill..."
"You are young, so you know a lot."
"I heard it all." Man Yong asked: "Because the royal family is all dead, you decided not to take revenge?"
Duan Tong took a big bite of the pie: "I think so...but since this little emperor is not from the Zhao family, there is no point in seeking revenge."
"Well, the mistress often said that every wrongdoer has his own debtor. Please tell me not to go to Xigui to seek revenge in the future..." Speaking of He Yue'er, Man Yong's eyes filled with tears again.
The two of them were speechless, only Man Yong's slight sobs could be heard.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the carriage.
"who?"
Although Duan Tong was still very tired at this time, he had eaten something and finally had some strength, so he asked sharply.
Man Yong also touched the car door, ready to rush out and fight at any time.
"Can Mr. Wu Dining be in the car? We were sent by Prime Minister Zhou to pick up Mr. Wu Ding."
Hearing the shouting outside, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Now that the response person is here, it's time for me to leave." Duan Tong said, turning around to pack the little food in the carriage.
Yi Xiaodao and Manyong will not be hungry anymore, and he can take all the food away by himself.
"Snapped!"
Man Yong struck Duan Tong on the back of the neck with his knife. Duan Tong groaned and fell limply to the ground.
"If you leave with this injury, I'm afraid you won't survive for long. Let's go back together..."
