Chapter 20 Ending

Tuoba Yuan has completely revealed her fierce appearance, while leading an army of [-] tigers and wolves, driving straight in from north to south.Another group of people was ordered to cut off the food transportation route, and another group of people went around to the flanks to prepare for a surprise attack on Jingzhou.

Chu Xi didn't say that he came with the determination to die.

"If there's another messenger coming, just throw it out!" Chu Xi frowned and roared, then kicked the table angrily.

He hated himself, hated himself for being shaken for a moment.

Why doesn't he know that this battle can't be won, but can he surrender, can he back down?He is a member of the Chu family, who has been loyal to the monarch and the country for generations. Ever since he was born in the womb of his mother, he never thought about the day of treason.He was born as a general of the Southern Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Southern Dynasty, so he should be returned in a shroud of horse leather.But, why, a trace of fear and hesitation spread from the bottom of my heart.

He couldn't help thinking about his mother, about Xu Zhenqing.

I will always be by my side, these are his own words.He hates that he can't do anything, he hates that the only thing he can do is to fight and gamble with his life.

He wants the war to stop and the world to go back to the peaceful and prosperous time when he was a child.

What is he going to do?

Food and grass have been cut off, and Jingzhou is the last line of defense in the capital.Chu Yuanzhi refused the courtiers' request to move the capital, stubbornly watched the blood gradually flow like him, and stubbornly listened to the shouts of killing gradually piercing his eardrums.

Doom has entered the countdown.

In the middle of the night, an oil lamp was still burning in the military tent.Xu Zhenqing was leaning on the bed, holding a wine glass.The wine glass contained the peach blossom wine Chu Xi had prepared for him.This wine does not taste like burning a knife in the throat, but has a hint of sweetness, which can warm up the body when it is cold.Chu Xi silently sat beside him and put her arms around his shoulders.Xu Zhenqing threw the wine glass aside, nestled into his arms, silently stared at his chin, and hugged his waist.For a while, the two were silent.Chu Xi felt a soreness in her heart, and couldn't help reaching out to stroke his chin.They have been fighting for several years, Xu Zhenqing is a little out of shape, the more Chu Xi caresses, the more sour she feels.The sound of burning oil lamps mixed with the aroma of wine quietly filled the air.

"Tomorrow I will go to the battlefield with you." Xu Zhenqing said.

"No, you are not a general." Chu Xi said.

"I want to be with you." Xu Zhenqing said softly and stubbornly.

Chu Xi sighed, lowered her head and pressed her forehead against his, and the aroma of peach blossom wine diffused from Zhenqing's nose. "You can plan a strategy and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away."

Xu Zhenqing looked away: "You still remember."

Chu Xi laughed and said, "You were sick at that time, your cheeks were flushed from the heat, and your eyes were watery. I felt guilty and wanted to hug you, and I scratched my heart. How could I forget?"

"You know how to deceive me." Xu Zhenqing raised her eyes and glared at him.

Chu Xi smiled smugly, and kissed Zhenqing's chin.Zhen Qing with a rough beard was a little uncomfortable, but Zhen Qing went up to him and gently sucked his lips.Chu Xi took a heavy breath, and the gentle kiss immediately became intense.Zhenqing was pressed down on the bed all of a sudden, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Chu Xi, and closed his eyes.It would be great if it could stay overnight forever, Zhenqing thought.

Chu Xi's expression gradually became firm and clear in the blurred light.

The last night before the war.

overwhelming advantage.

It would be a disastrous defeat to face the battle, and retreat—there is no way out.

Even if the strategy is as good as Xu Zhenqing's, he knows that this is a battle that must be lost.But no one said anything.

The fierce sound of horseshoes pierced the night sky!

The Xijiang soldiers guarding the gate followed the sound.I saw a black figure coming on a horse, holding a long sword, and the starlight on the sword was shining.

Like a demon rushing out of the night.

Chu Xi's face sank like water, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!"

The two Xijiang soldiers subconsciously took a step back.

A cold light flashed, and the two corpses fell down.

All the moves in the past were spinning in her head, and Chu Xi rushed straight to the tent where Tuoba Yuan was staying like a rainbow.

Even if the situation is so desperate, there is still a ray of hope.

Chu Xi staggered the incoming ax with a sword, bent down, and stabbed the enemy's waist with the long sword like lightning.Blood spurted out.

As long as I kill Tuoba Yuan, I can win this battle and defend the Southern Dynasty.

The alarmed soldiers swarmed up, swords and spears came from all directions.

Chu Xi couldn't dodge in time, was slashed on the back with a knife, and immediately gasped.The severe pain turned into determination, which stimulated the spirit in his blood.

Chu Xi's face is so green, a man should learn martial arts!Defend the country!Megatron the world!

Chu Shudao, dying on the battlefield is the glory of a general!

Chu Xi yelled, and miraculously rushed out of the encirclement.

It is only a hundred meters away from Tuoba Yuan.

Even if I die here, I am worth it.

Thinking of this, Chu Xi rushed over, got off the horse, and opened the door curtain with a sword.

Tuoba Yuan stood in the military tent, with a long scimitar in his hand, his eyes were burning with red flames.How dare you make such a risky move!Good guts.good!great!

The soldiers behind rushed up.

Tuoba Yuan immediately raised her hand to restrain her, "Back off!"

"Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Yuan smiled wickedly, her eyes flashed slyly. "If he has the guts to come with thousands of troops, I have the guts to single-handedly kill him!"

This amber color made Chu Xi suddenly think of Zhen Qing.The ten-foot soft mortal brushed lightly on the tip of his heart, and Chu Xi's heart ached and tightened. He took a breath, and clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.

With one step, Tuoba Yuan rushed straight up and slashed down with a knife!

With Chu Xi's dodge, the long saber followed like a shadow to attack the vital points.It was obviously a long knife, but it was as nimble as a poisonous snake, and it was still close after dozens of moves.

"Does your military adviser know that you are coming?" Tuoba Yuan smiled in his ear, and pressed Chu Xi's long sword while talking about the long sword.

Chu Xi barely resisted the long knife pressing on his head in an extremely twisted posture, his hands trembling. "nonsense!"

Tuoba Yuan suddenly withdrew the long saber, and slashed back at Chu Xi's leg.

The long knife with a sharply curved edge made a deep and long cut.Chu Xi swayed, and the veins protruded from her neck one by one.

Tuoba Yuan let out an apologetic "Yeah", shook the long knife, and the blood flowed down the blade, dropping drop by drop on the ground.

Chu Xi stared at Tuoba Yuan's eyes with resentment, the long sword was like a white rainbow piercing the sun, Tuoba Yuan didn't hide but bumped into it with a clang, the long sword slid down, Chu Xi's red eyes left the sword The tip was getting closer and closer, and just as Tuoba Yuan felt something was wrong, the knife in his hand was provoked by a subtle angle and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Sending the long sword forward, Tuoba Yuan stepped on Chu Xi's knife edge to turn back with strength, rolled to the side and grabbed the bow and arrow that was put aside.Chu Xi was in pain, and Tuoba Yuan seized the opportunity to dodge the sword tip in an instant, and when she stabilized again, an arrow brushed past her ear!

Tuoba Yuan draws an arrow to the bow and releases the arrow again almost without waiting for aim!

Chu Xi rolled over quickly, the wound opened suddenly, and blood was splashed.Chu Xi was covered in blood, only her eyes were frighteningly bright. With a sword in one hand, she stood up again.

Tuoba Yuan held her bow like a full moon, and stared at him with a soft smile: "Chu Xi, I don't really understand, why are you giving up your life for Chu Yuanzhi?"

Chu Xi spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "It's not for him, but for Heshan!"

Tuoba Yuan burst out laughing, "No, you are still for him."

No one said it clearly, but they still understood that "he" had changed at this moment.

Chu Xi suddenly smiled softly.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside, Tuoba Yuan was taken aback, and Chu Xi rushed forward immediately!

The arrow feathers and the long sword brushed past each other, each sinking into the flesh and blood.

Tuoba Yuan snorted, covered the wound on his shoulder, and stared at Chu Xi who had an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

At this point, the outcome is actually decided.

The arrow shot by Laman almost pierced Chuxi's shoulder, and although Chuxi's sword with all his strength hurt Tuoba Yuan, it didn't reach the critical point.Not to mention the bruises on his back and legs that were gushing blood.

Chu Xi's painful lips trembled.

Since you dare to come, you are ready to die here.

Tuoba Yuan's right shoulder was injured and she could no longer draw the bow, so she had to pick up the knife from the ground while Chu Xi couldn't recover.

The shouting and killing outside became more and more intense. It was the sound of two armies fighting.

Chu Xi was startled, she didn't think about it, and attacked Tuoba Yuan again.

There was a rush of hoofbeats, and a figure rushed in.

Tuoba Yuan glanced at a ray of sword light from the corner of her eye, and hastily swung her sword horizontally, and stepped back while blocking it.

Zhenqing was dressed in unlined clothing, with disheveled long hair and a shivering chill.Obviously, as soon as he found out that Chu Xi was not there, and he didn't even have time to wear thick clothes, he immediately brought someone to kill him.

Tuoba Yuan frowned, put away the knife, straightened her clothes, and said to Zhenqing very intimately and tenderly: "Oh, why are you here, I am very sorry for letting you see such a bloody scene, why don't you stay, Shall I make amends for you?"

Chu Xi froze.

Zhenqing also put down his sword, and bowed to Tuoba Yuan, "Your Majesty is a master of martial arts, more than capable of defeating my general. But although I'm not very useful, I don't hesitate to die, so I can protect him logically."

Obviously in a desperate posture, Zhenqing spoke slowly.

Tuoba Yuan waved his hand helplessly.

Zhenqing immediately dragged Chuxi out.

"withdraw!"

With one order, five thousand private soldiers of the Chu family cleared the way back and forth, and the group of people disappeared in the night.

When I came, I came alone, and when I left, the sky was full of dust.

Chu Xi was bouncing on the horse's back, the pain was indistinct.Zhenqing gave him the back of her head with flying long hair.

Chu Xi didn't know whether to ask him how he knew what he was doing in the middle of the night, or to ask for mercy first.

He was full of chatter and chatter, and just about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Zhenqing's red eyes, and he couldn't speak at once.

For a moment, thousands of thoughts turned into sharp knives and sank into the hearts of the two of them.

After rushing to the base camp, Zhenqing changed him to a wooden cart for transporting the wounded, and pulled out the camp overnight.Abandon the city and go.

After walking for an hour, Tuoba Yuan arrived with an army.

When Xu Zhenqing pulled the pale-faced Chu Xi to settle down, Tuoba Yuan had already entered the capital.

Everything fell apart.

He stayed aside with fifty thousand soldiers.

The courtiers scattered and left, some stayed to serve the new emperor, including Liu Cheng.

The war stopped and a dynasty ended.

Chuxi's shoulder blade and thigh were badly injured and she couldn't stand up.

When he was struggling to ask the commander-in-chief to lead the army, Zhenqing's expression darkened.

He said: "Chuxi, open your eyes and see, the Southern Dynasty is over. If you raise troops again, you will start a war. The officials are corrupt and the court is chaotic. How long do you want to maintain such a court? Are you loyal to the country? The imperial court? The people have been consumed by wars and natural disasters for too long, so let it go."

Chu Xi remained silent.

In the end, there was no sound.

Yonghe two years.The Southern Dynasties officially perished.

Chu Yuanzhi hanged himself and died. Tuoba Yuan, the eldest son of Xijiang, proclaimed himself emperor and named the country Xi.

Most of the courtiers surrendered, and Shangshu Wang Lang hanged himself to die for the country.

Chu Princess Ye Shangzhu died of a sudden illness.

The former general Chu Xi dismissed the army and disappeared.The new emperor searched for three months but failed.

A thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, and the new emperor vigorously reforms and respects laws and regulations.

Another three years, the world has been settled.

The fog filled the air, and the fishing boats in the distance were indistinct, and only gray shadows could be seen through the fog.

I didn't expect that one day I would be able to do this kind of thing. Zhenqing leaned against the window, looking at the white river.He smiled very faintly, but the smile was extremely sincere. It can be seen that he was not a person who knew how to laugh, but he had been made to laugh so many times.

It turns out that love is such a heartbreaking thing, he has always had difficulty understanding his mother's true love for Xu Mo, until today he understood a little bit.

The light boat has passed the tens of thousands of mountains.

Zhenqing straightened her clothes and stepped off the boat.

There were people coming and going at the pier, and one hand quietly held his thin wrist.

Chu Xi leaned on her crutches and leaned into his ear and said, "Wait for me."

"I won't leave you behind." The corners of Zhenqing's raised mouth were hidden in the dense mist in the south of the Yangtze River.
