Yao Xue was escorted by several attendants and locked in a separate military tent.

Ji Xi seemed to be worried that he would escape, so he specially dispatched a team of elites to guard the tent.

Yao Xue's hands and feet were tied up, and she couldn't move for a while.Hearing the voices of people in the barracks outside his tent, he thought to himself a little mockingly, but in just over a month, how could he have fallen to this point?He lost his subordinates, turned against his relatives and friends, and was also possessed by a strange Gu. Fortunately, even his mother country doesn't want him anymore.

Qiu Chen hated him for killing Mr. Qiu and his wife, and Ji Xi also blamed him for killing Bai Yu.There were so many people who blamed him, and so many trumped-up charges were placed on him.

He could have stayed in his hometown for the rest of his life, but it was Emperor Ningyuan who wanted to promote him and reuse him so that he could become a general of hussars at a young age. , bleeding, he never felt anything, but in the end, his head turned out to be a bargaining chip for others to seal ten thousand households.

Yao Xue thought of the way Ji Xi looked at him just now.

That look, full of hatred, is somewhat similar to Qiu Chen.

Looking at the flickering candles in the tent, he suddenly remembered that Ji Xi and Bai Yu had always had a good relationship.

When Ji Xi didn't go out with Yao Xue, Bai Yu would most likely accompany him.

Every time he goes to a place, no matter what the local customs are, he always brings back some small things to give to Ji Xi.

Once, they passed by a city. There was nothing special in the city, but it was rich in rouge and gouache from the girl's house.Yao Xue was not interested in such things, but Bai Yu went to the store to buy a box with great interest.

Yao Xue asked him a little surprised: "Is there a girl you like?"

Bai Yu didn't answer, but put the box of lip balm into his sleeve with some embarrassment, and said, "There is someone I want to give it to."

Later, Yao Xue also saw a box of lip balm at Ji Xi's place.At the time, he couldn't understand why his two lieutenants had such a soft spot for mouth fat, so he asked Ji Xi in confusion, "What new fashion is popular in Yanyang City recently?"

Ji Xi was a little surprised and said, "What is the general talking about?"

Yao Xue pointed to the box of lip balm: "Why do you and Bai Yu both like to buy lip balm?" He thought for a while, and then said: "Bai Yu went to the shop that day and said that the person who was going to give it as a gift had fair skin. Pick a brighter color."

Yao Xue became more and more puzzled, and asked Ji Xi: "Which fair-skinned girl has he gotten close to recently, do you know?"

Hearing Yao Xue's words, Ji Xi's face turned red and then pale. After a long time, he curled his lips in disgust, and said in a low voice, "I don't know him." Put it carefully into the sleeves, got up and left.

It happened that Bai Yu came in from the door, and Ji Xi rushed out of the door in a hurry, and the two almost bumped into each other.Bai Yu quickly helped Ji Xi's waist, smiled at him, and was about to say something, but Ji Xi shook his hand away from embarrassment and ran away.

Bai Yu looked at his back and asked in confusion, "What's going on here?"

……

Thinking of this, Yao Xue couldn't help curling her lips slightly, but she quickly lowered her eyes again.

In the past, when he saw Bai Yu and Ji Xi, he would always silently envy them in his heart.He watched the two of them fight, as if he was looking at something he once had, but that thing could never be found again.

But now, the many past events that happened in Yanyang are like the wind, and finally drift away without a trace.

He always felt in his heart that he was very sorry for Bai Yu and Qin Luo, and let down his army.They respected him, loved him, and trusted him, but they failed to give them a good home after all.

As for Qiu Chen, he couldn't say anything.Whether it's Qiu Chen's bright appearance before or his flirtatious appearance now, they are always lingering in his mind.What the other party said to him and what he did to him, whether it was joy or pain, always hit his heart like a flood, in the dead of night, making him toss and turn, restless, and autumn The bloody feud behind Chen is always pressed in his heart and cannot be dissipated for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yao Xue sighed and slowly closed her eyes.

No matter what, after the three-day antidote is over, he will be devoured by the "two inseparable" Gu worms, and die of heart failure.Everything ends here.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, Yao Xue was in a daze, and he didn't know the time. He vaguely heard the guards chatting outside the military tent, saying that the Yong State's army seemed to have attacked several times, and they were all stationed in Wuling. The army blocked it.

Ji Xi is still very young, and his battlefield experience is not very rich. This time he became the main general, Yao Xue can see that he is actually a little bit powerless, and the soldiers in the barracks are not convinced by him.He has a long friendship with Ji Xi, so he knows in his heart that Ji Xi is very heroic in fighting the enemy, but he is not a person who is good at strategizing.

Although Ji Xi is no longer his lieutenant general, Yao Xue is still a little worried.

He had a hunch that a big battle was imminent.

That night.

Unable to escape from left and right, Yao Xue was looking at the ground boredly with lowered eyes, but suddenly heard a noisy shout outside, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps and the sound of fighting.

Yao Xue shouted twice, but no one answered him, and the guards outside the tent were also missing.

Yao Xue thought, this is a night attack by the Liang army.

Sure enough, after a while, the tent caught fire.Yao Xue was tied to a wooden post before, but now the wooden post caught fire and burned the rope on Yao Xue's body.

Yao Xue pushed aside the ropes, quickly rolled on the ground to extinguish the fire on her body, and fled outside the tent.The tent immediately collapsed behind him.

There was a sea of ​​flames outside the tent, and many soldiers of Yong Kingdom were lying on the ground, but Ji Xi was nowhere to be found.

Yao Xue keenly noticed that there were some tiny worms on the soldiers' corpses, which looked extremely familiar, or in other words, very similar to the Gu worms he saw on the Baicheng battlefield before.

Yao Xue understood in an instant.In the past two days, the Liang army was only cultivating and preparing for Gu worms. Today's night attack is the highlight.

Then Qiuchen should be nearby.Thinking of this, Yao Xue had a faint expectation in his heart, but seeing the corpses on the ground and the scorched earth, he felt very resentful in his heart.Complicated emotions surged in his heart for a while, making him even more at a loss.

There was a dead silence, save for the crackling of the fire on the wood.Yao Xue found a sword from the ground, looked around while walking, and suddenly saw several figures in front of her.

He held his breath and rushed forward, only to see several wounded soldiers walking forward supporting each other.

One of them was seriously injured, and he fell down within a few steps. Yao Xue quickly helped him up, and the soldiers turned their heads and noticed him.The person who was being lifted turned his head to look at Yao Xue with dull eyes, and didn't react, but the person next to him suddenly shouted: "He's... quick! Grab him!"

Before Yao Xue could react, a soldier rushed up and stabbed her in the shoulder.Several other people also rushed towards him with teeth and claws. Yao Xue waved her sword in fear, and all the people were knocked to the ground by the sword wind. Among them, the seriously injured fell silent.

Yao Xue looked at the sergeants who fell on the ground, her eyes trembling and she staggered back a few steps.They didn't seem to feel the pain anymore, they just muttered "Wan Huhou" and struggled to climb forward like walking corpses.

Yao Xue was shocked when she heard this word.He stared at the ugliness of this group of people in disbelief, and finally turned around abruptly, and ran away without looking back.

The sky has been very cloudy, and now it is finally pouring rain.

Yao Xue ran for a long time until she was exhausted and finally woke up. For a moment, she felt distraught and sat down on the spot.

He was running like a drum, and at the same time, there seemed to be a voice repeating in his ear, what Ji Xi said was true, and Emperor Ningyuan used Wan Huhou as a condition to hunt him down and offer rewards everywhere, all of this was true.

It took a while before he recovered from the severe tinnitus, and heard what seemed to be a dispute not far away.

It was raining heavily, and the fog it brought was blocking the view.Yao Xue looked far away, and vaguely saw Ji Xi kneeling on the ground, and a person was standing behind him, putting a knife on his neck.

At that moment, Yao Xue only felt a "hum" in his brain. He picked up the sword that fell on the ground, shouted "Stop", and ran towards the two of them.

The person holding the knife was taken aback when he heard the sound, and the knife barely stopped.Only when Yao Xue ran close did she realize that the person standing behind Ji Xi was none other than Gu Xing.

Gu Xing's surroundings were full of Liang troops, and when he saw this, he rushed forward and surrounded Yao Xue.

Gu Xing cast a disdainful glance at Yao Xue, and taunted, "Where did the mouse come from? Take him down." As he spoke, he raised his knife again, as if to kill Ji Xi.

While Yao Xue was struggling to kill, she saw that Gu Xing's knife was about to fall on Ji Xi's neck.Ji Xi's body was covered in blood, and he looked at Yao Xue with a complicated expression, his eyes were full of unwillingness and a little surprise at the same time.

Yao Xue only felt that the blood in his whole body was going to flow back at that moment, so he grabbed the dagger from a soldier's hand and threw it at Gu Xing quickly.

The dagger stabbed Gu Xing's hand at once, and Gu Xing was in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

He looked at the injured hand, finally stopped, turned his head to stare at Yao Xue, and said ruthlessly: "Everyone back down. I will finish him myself."

A group of soldiers quickly retreated to the side and formed a circle spontaneously, enclosing the two of them inside.

Yao Xue backhanded a sword flower, swung the sword in her hand downward, and the blood on the sword splashed all over the ground: "I am willing to accompany you."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his sword and slashed at Gu Xing.

Gu Xing caught the blow, turned the blade sideways and pushed towards Yao Xue.

Yao Xue was injured in the siege just now, and now she feels a little bit strenuous.He lowered his center of gravity and made a clever effort to deflect Gu Xing's blade away.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, and it was hard to tell the winner. The movements of the two were extremely fast, which made people a little dazzled.

Gu Xing gradually felt powerless, he was forced by Yao Xue to take a step back, his gaze froze, and he held up the knife again, slashing fiercely at Yao Xue's face.

Yao Xue's reaction was extremely fast. He lowered his body slightly, avoiding Gu Xing's sharp blade, and stretched out his legs in a sweeping sweep. Gu Xing's offensive was too fierce, and he didn't expect Yao Xue's movement. down.

After all, Gu Xing is a cool person, and his martial arts are still based on strength, which seems a bit drastic.Yao Xue was about the same size as him, but she was much more dexterous. Although he had suffered serious injuries before, he still had the upper hand at the moment.

Yao Xue calmed down a bit, raised her eyebrows and looked into Gu Xing's eyes with some complacency.His eyebrows and eyes are very handsome, and he looks even more radiant when fighting.The more he pushed the opponent tighter, Gu Xing gradually became overwhelmed, and retreated one after another.

Seeing this, Yao Xue raised her sword high, and was about to give Gu Xing a final blow, when she raised her hand halfway, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the meridians on her wrist.

Not only the wrist, but the meridians all over his body were in pain at this moment, as if being burned, which made him relax all of a sudden.

Gu Xing saw that Yao Xue had an opening, so he quickly attacked again.

While Yao Xue tried her best to resist, she felt puzzled in her heart.Logically speaking, the effect of the antidote should not have passed, so why did he feel so uncomfortable?

Could it be that Qiu Chen is hiding in the dark at this moment, what did he do to the Gu worms?

He secretly scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision, but did not see Qiu Chen's figure.

At this time, Gu Xing stabbed him in the abdomen, Yao Xue suffered from pain, and finally half-kneeled on the ground.

Gu Xing sneered, put the saber on his neck, and looked down at him condescendingly: "If you dare to be distracted during the battle, this will be your end."

The restlessness of the Gu insects became more and more frenzied.Yao Xue was tortured so that the veins in his hands popped out. He covered the bleeding wound on his abdomen with his hands, but he didn't care about anything else. He raised his head and asked Gu Xing in a trembling voice: "Qiu... Where is your national teacher?" ? Why didn't you see him?"

Gu Xing paused holding the knife, and looked into Yao Xue's eyes playfully: "It's already this time, why do you still think about him?"

Yao Xue felt more and more strange in her heart, but she just stared at Gu Xing and asked again: "Where is he?"

The smile on Gu Xing's face got deeper and deeper, and after a while, he said calmly: "You will never see him again."

Yao Xue froze when she heard the words, and stared fiercely at Gu Xing: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Xing just said indifferently: "He is already dead."

Yao Xue only felt that her mind went blank, and said almost hysterically, "What the hell are you..." He was halfway through speaking, but suddenly froze.Because he suddenly remembered that Qiu Chen once said that unless he died, the Gu on Yao Xue would have no solution.If he dies, the Gu worms will be restless and crawl all over the meridians of the person who was infected by the Gu, making him feel so much pain that he would not want to live.

This symptom is exactly the same as my current state.

Thinking of this, Yao Xue suddenly felt a boundless cold that penetrated from head to toe, making his hairs stand on end, and almost fell down.

His eyes were red, and his hand directly grabbed the blade on the side of his neck. Blood flowed down his hand and covered the blade, but Yao Xue seemed to feel no pain. He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xing. It was a monstrous rage: "I'll ask you one last time, where is he?"

The pain spread from the heart to all the limbs, Yao Xue clenched her teeth so hard that blood flowed from her lips.

Gu Xing stared at him with great satisfaction for a while, as if he remembered something, he reached out and took out something from his cuff, and threw it towards Yao Xue.

Yao Xue dodged to the side subconsciously, and the thing finally landed at his feet.

He lowered his head to take a closer look, but suddenly froze.

What fell to the ground was a ribbon stained red with blood.
