Chapter 42
A cruel and strange smile appeared on Zhang Xianzhong's face, and he snarled at the executioner standing behind the stake.The executioner stepped forward and lifted the mask covering the victim's head, revealing the once handsome face.
Tian Lie's eyes widened, and he felt that his guts were torn apart, the blood all over his body pooled at the top of his head, and his eyes were bright red.Just now since the ancient animal husband revealed the truth, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but the one he guessed down might be too unacceptable, so he subconsciously didn't want to think about it.But at this moment, he realized how wrong he was.
Qian Zhu was bound there tightly by iron chains, there was no good skin and flesh all over her body, only bones could be seen, even the throbbing blood vessels and viscera were exposed under her ribs.The reason why he didn't utter a sound while being tortured was because there was a wound across his neck, which severed his vocal cords, and blood was still gushing out of the tear from the crack with the vibration of breathing.What was even more frightening was that under such extreme punishment, Qian Zhu was actually awake.His eyes were wide open and he didn't even turn around, as if he couldn't feel any pain.Just like that, calmly and sluggishly, as if staring at something in midair that doesn't exist.
"Ah----!!!" There was a heart-piercing roar from the side of the ink pool, like a wounded beast, extremely painful.Before people could react, Tian Lie had already pulled out his waist knife, and quickly rushed towards the figure on the wooden post.
"Quick, stop him—"
Swish Swish Swish -!The swords and swords of the two sides came out together, and there was a melee in an instant, and the lights of the swords were all around, and blood spattered everywhere.Naturally, there were the most monsters and bandits who went to attack and intercept Tian Lie, but he rushed left and right like crazy, dancing wildly with knives, beheading dozens of heads all the way, and rushed to Qian Zhu just like that.After cutting off the iron chain, the body with almost no flesh left fell down and was pulled into Tian Lie's arms. The general's silver armor was completely stained red by the scholar's blood.
Tian Lie pushed back Qian Zhu's messy hair, revealing a pale face, but saw that his younger brother closed his eyes as if he didn't want to see him.The bright red liquid dripped and sticky between the fingers, and after only staying in place for a short while, it pooled on the ground.I don't understand how such a thin and thin body can bleed so much blood.
Tian Lie didn't know what to do for a while, no matter where he touched, his body in his arms trembled, so he could only take off his cloak to wrap his younger brother, and called him anxiously: "Azhu... Azhu, you Wake up——!”
"I'm sorry... my brother is a bastard, my brother is a complete big bastard - you wake up, open your eyes - brother, my brother will take you out... Get out of here, I'll find someone to help you heal your injuries..."
"You'll be fine, you'll be fine... At that time, if you hate me, you can kill me—Azhu——Azhu, open your eyes—don't fall asleep..."
At the end, there was a choked cry in his voice.He just saw that the execution started, he should have stopped it, he should have stopped it! !What the fuck is the big picture! !It was himself, stupid and hopeless, who watched his younger brother being cut off with a knife, and finally lost his human form.He is really the one who deserves to die! !
Qianzhu seemed to hear it, and really opened her eyes.The broken light in the pupils slowly focused on Tianlie, and he became more energetic.Suddenly, it was like when they first met, the scholar fell to the ground, raised his head from the stagnant stick in mid-air, and looked silently.But now, right in front of Tian Lie's eyes, those obsidian-like eyes that used to be jet black, turned into bright blood color little by little, full of strong resentment and hatred.
The monsters came up again, Tian Lie held Qian Zhu in his arms with one hand, and fought them resolutely with the knife in the other.However, there were too many enemies, and the subordinates who came with him fell down one by one. Gradually, only dozens of soldiers were left gathered by the pool, making the final resistance with difficulty.
"Why..." Seeing that the ancient beastman stepped forward and pierced one of his soldiers through the chest with a long knife, Tian Lie asked in a trembling voice, "You and I have been in the same robe for seven years, our life-threatening friendship, why..."
"Why?" The Metamorphosis Demon sneered, "If you had been robbed of the Yuan Fate Disk and experienced the torture that would make life worse than death, you wouldn't ask. Now that your situation is over, if you are smarter, you will obediently offer Yuan Yuan to you." If the fate plate works for General Luohu, there may be a way out."
"The general trend is over?!" Tianlie grasped the key point of his words, and was even more horrified in his heart, "What do you mean?!"
"What do you mean? Now that the two defenders of the main city are here to waste time, if the Youdu army takes this opportunity to attack the city and happens to have a clear view of the city's defenses, what do you think the chances of winning are?!"
——It turns out that everything is for today's event, a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
"You——!" Tian Lie was extremely angry, and led his subordinates to swing their knives again, desperately trying to break out of the siege and go back to defend the city, but in a short while, several people were slaughtered, including himself. Several cuts.
At this moment, a few strange laughs suddenly sounded in the field, as if someone was mourning and crying, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.Tianlie was shocked, and realized that the voice came from his arms.Qian Zhu was originally soft, but now she slowly straightened her waist and stood up by herself, her blood-colored eyes were extremely bright.
"Azhu..."
Qian Zhu turned to look at him.
The scholar used to have a good voice, not only knew the elegant music, but also could grasp all the folk songs and slang in the ordinary world.If I learned a new little song from a nearby farmer, I would sing it to my brother when I was happy.But now he can no longer answer, the wound on his neck has opened a little more, and he is wheezing, making broken breath sounds with his breathing.
The voice that seemed to be crying and laughing sounded again, extremely hated, extremely bent, it actually came from the abdominal cavity.
"what--"
Once the tragic howl started, it couldn't stop.
"what--"
"what--"
At that time, he was bound and tortured. He couldn't struggle or scream. The pain was so painful that he wished he could grab the ground with his head, and he would die immediately to be freed.However, when he was in a daze, he saw that when he was in extreme pain, his brother was actually sitting a short distance away, drinking and chatting with others.
——It hurts so much... I hurt so much, brother, you know.
——You, and you, why are you all so happy?
——You guys are all laughing...
——You guys are all laughing...
—I hate you, I hate you, I hate you so much—
Resentment was churning in the bottom of my heart, but my consciousness gradually dissipated, and I suddenly felt an extremely strong hatred for the face in front of me.He was still gripping the sharp piece of broken porcelain tightly, cutting his palm to the point of dripping with blood, and he didn't feel the pain for a long time.With his greatest strength, he pressed the sharpest end of the tile against the back of his brother's hand, cutting a deep wound.
Tianlie didn't realize it, but kept screaming: "Azhu! Azhu!! What's wrong with you!! Don't move anymore—you'll bleed..."
- Let go.
——I...don't want you to save me.
——When I was most embarrassed, it was you who extended a helping hand.You saved me and my mother, I am very grateful, but now... I have paid off this kindness.
——I don't owe you anything.
——Since then, in the sky and on the earth, we will never see each other again.
—Farewell, brother.
A demon attacked, Tian Lie raised his hand and split it in half, at the same time, the bloody body he held in his arms broke away.Tian Lie turned his head quickly, and Qian Zhu stood staggeringly by the ink pool, and seemed to smile at him, but that smile looked weird and terrifying on his blood-stained face.The next moment, the man leaned back, and sank into the ink pool like falling fine snow. The water surface moved slightly, making several circles of ripples, and disappeared.
"Azhu——!!!"

"...You basically know what happened later." You Huang said, his tone was calm, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, "Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Shuzhou City to hold its own. It also implicated the lives of Sikong and the others. In the end, Qisha Luanwenqu, Guimo slaughtered the city..."
Chief nodded, silent.He suddenly understood why the person in front of him often had so many contradictory expressions.
Usually he is vigilant and flexible in his actions, able to bend and stretch, but he is uncharacteristically uncharacteristic when he is trapped in the animal prison, insisting on not handing over his natal chart, and would rather die than become a metamorphosis demon.
When I met the Yunlu female disciple asking for help in the guest room of Yeming City, I could clearly see that her behavior and speech were extremely suspicious, but I was still willing to believe her to help her, just because I couldn't accept the "one in ten thousand possibility" misunderstanding.
Obviously, he wanted to return to the mortal world safely, but he would feel the deep affection between Di Rongyuxin's brother and sister, so he took the initiative to lend a helping hand, not caring that he was also risking his life.
Every time he makes a move, in addition to saving others, what he wants to save is actually himself.
This person is really kind-hearted in his bones. At the end, he hastily ended his life just to prevent himself from becoming a burden and implicating others.Even though he hated his brother so much, he still sacrificed himself to let him escape safely.
Outside the Maoting, the rain was much lighter, but it was still swaying, and it wouldn't stop for a while.You Huang stared at the gray rain curtain, then looked at the wooden barrel at his feet for a while, and said with a smile: "...I'm sorry for my mother. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have died."
The chief took a deep breath and said comfortingly: "...the deceased has passed away." After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Why did you tell me these things?"
You Huang smiled, and replied calmly: "You seem to have always wanted to know."
Chief shook his head, feeling somewhat regretful for his curiosity.Knowing that there is a deep wound in the other party's heart, he still wants to dig it out. Now both of them are uncomfortable: "Why force it? If you don't want to say it, I will never force you."
You Huang thought for a while, and his expression gradually became serious: "...Because I like you. I won't hide from you what you want to know. It's just..." When he thought of something, he suddenly became a little cautious, and his tone changed Unsteady, "It's just... the things I encountered, um, it's too bad... If you think I... you think I-eh, I, I have self-knowledge, and I will definitely not pester you anymore gone."
The chief looked him up and down with wide eyes.That young Ghost Mo clearly said that it doesn't matter if you despise me, but the expression on his face clearly says that I will be very sad if you despise me.
The combination of helplessness and pity in the bottom of his heart made him feel sore.Chief reached out to touch You Huang's face. For a moment, he was afraid that he would accidentally touch a piece of meat, but he didn't.That face was as soft and cold as ever, and it felt like every time it was squeezed hard.So Chief was ruthless, and with a little more strength, he pulled that face in front of him.
"Hey, what are you doing, it hurts—" You Huang suddenly opened his eyes wide before he finished speaking.The soft touch on his lips made him react for a while before he realized that it was the chief's lips, but the other party just touched it, and quickly withdrew it.
"you you you……"
Mohou in white looked at him sideways: "...what are you?"
"Why, why did you suddenly kiss me..."
"My pleasure."
"Eh?!"
Looking at You Huang's blank face, Yi sighed, and then said seriously: "This Marquis suddenly realizes that I seem to have a crush on you."
"...!!" You Huang was startled, "Really?"
"real."
But You Huang still seemed a little unbelievable, he carefully looked up and down the chief, hesitantly said, "Actually... I am very strong and can stand anything. So if you just sympathize with me, don't use This way... you don't have to—"
The cold face was pinched hard again, You Huang yelled in pain, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to cover it.But seeing Chieftain looking at him with a pair of red eyes with a little annoyance, he said angrily, "When did this Marquis seem to be overflowing with sympathy?"
"No, no, no! What you lack the most is sympathy!!"
I don't know if it sounds like a blame or an excuse, but I always feel very funny.Chief really laughed shamelessly, and said, "Didn't you say you liked me just now? So, how about expressing it?"
You Huang rubbed his sore cheeks, and touched his nose habitually, with a nervous expression on his face, as if what he was going to do next would risk his life.Chief watched and waited leisurely, and then the ghost in black came up and kissed him with his own lips.
※"Farewell, brother." At the last moment, Yu Xin said goodbye to Di Rong with these words.Qianzhu also used this phrase to bid farewell to Tianlie.They both died to protect each other, but the situations and mentalities of the two parties were quite different.
