[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 98 [English]
byChapter 96 Collapse
The sky is gloomy and a storm is coming.
Xiao Chiye unloaded his Langshou knife at the entrance of the palace and stepped into the dark and long corridor.The eunuchs kneeling on both sides were silent, and there was no sound inside and outside Mingli Hall.Fuman quickly led Xiao Chiye to the door and opened the curtain.The curtains in the dormitory were not drawn up, and it was hot and stuffy inside, mixed with the smell of blood.
Fuman sobbed and whispered: “Your Majesty, look, the Marquis is here!”
Li Jianheng inside grunted and said, “You tell them all to leave. I want to have a few words with the Marquis. Don’t disturb me until I get here.”
Fuman quietly retreated with his people.
“Ce’an,” Li Jianheng seemed to move his body and said, “Open the curtain.”
Xiao Chiye raised his hand and opened the curtain.The bed was stained with blood, and Li Jianheng seemed to be soaked in a dirty color. His chest was rising and falling, and his breathing was somewhat difficult.
“Brother,” Li Jianheng’s pale face was covered with tears and sweat. He wiped the sweat with his trembling hands, but wiped the blood on his face, “Why did you go? I’m so worried.”
Mu Ru was lying sideways next to Li Jianheng, already dead.
Xiao Chiye suddenly felt a little lonely, and he went to this invitation that he knew was from the Bureau, just to give Li Jianheng an explanation for his “brother”.Their young and frivolous brotherhood had long been shattered under the crushing power of power, but it seemed to be glued back together in an instant.he seemed to have returned to the past, hung up the curtains, and said in a hoarse voice: “The wind is strong on the road, and there are many people on Shenwu Street, so it is not easy to run a horse.”
Li Jianheng raised the hand covering the wound, looked at the place where he was stabbed, and said, “You are a good brother. You knew that this trip was dangerous, but you still came. I, Li Jianheng, can befriend you. It’s not a loss.”
Xiao Chiye dragged the chair and sat down.He looked at Li Jianheng, his throat rolled several times, and said, “I told you before, she is not your good match.”
“But I just like her,” Li Jianheng stared blankly, rubbing the blood between his fingers, “I thought she liked me too. Damn… he was hit by a knife, it hurts so much.”
Xiao Chiye rubbed his face, propped up his knees, and said, “You called me, what do you want to say?”
Li Jianheng rolled his eyes, laughed at Xiao Chiye through tears, and then cried with tears in his eyes. He choked and said, “I asked you to come, so you come. You have a sick brain, Xiao Ce’an. Do you know that there are people outside…all waiting for you with knives?”
Xiao Chiye nodded calmly and said, “I know,” as if he had solved problems for him in the past.
Li Jianheng cried muffled in his throat and said, “If you don’t come, I don’t have to say I’m sorry.”
Xiao Chiye’s eyes turned red and he said, “You are the emperor, and the emperor does not need to apologize.”
Li Jianheng covered his wound, shook his head and cried uncontrollably, he sobbed: “I…brother…I really…want to be a good emperor. I memorized the book a few days ago. If you go out, tell Mr. Ge for me.”
Xiao Chiye said: “You are the emperor, you can speak for yourself.”
Li Jianheng gasped and cried hoarsely, saying: “No, I am the emperor, I can’t go by myself, I will lose face. He is a loyal minister, why do you think I am so stupid? I really want to call him Yafu. I am afraid that after I die, you will ask others to stab you.”
Xiao Chiye replied in a hoarse voice: “Why are you so timid?”
Li Jianheng gestured and said, “Brother Huang is waiting for me. I’m afraid that he will scold me again. I’m sorry for him.”
Xiao Chiye sneered and said, “Why do you only have so much success?”
“I…” Li Jianheng’s breathing became more and more rapid, and he pursed his dry lips again and again, and said, “I’m sorry for you too, for not being righteous enough. You and I can’t help ourselves, and I really… really hate it. Ce’an, let’s go. Just leave when you are out, get on your horse, and go home. I have nothing to give you, but if I don’t give it to you, I won’t be able to show off.”
Xiao Chiye rubbed his face again.
Li Jianheng raised his finger, pointed at the wall, and said vaguely: “That…that bow, you helped me get it from the emperor brother, but damn it, I, I can’t pull it open…you take it away. The wolf cub needs to stay in the grass…the grassland, your thumb should be rusty.”
Xiao Chiye said ruthlessly: “I don’t want it, that’s your Overlord Bow.”
“You are the overlord…” Li Jianheng’s voice was already very soft, and he looked at the bow, “In the next life…don’t…let me come again…I want to be the Yan of Zhou Dynasty…live under the roof of wealth…”
He looked at Overlord Bow quietly and did not move again.
The wind blew the curtains in the dormitory, and Xiao Chiye sat, listening to the muffled thunder and a heavy rain.
Han Cheng finished his last sip of tea and walked out with the tea bowl. Looking at the sergeants of the Eighth Battalion who were waiting for him, he threw the tea bowl on the ground and said loudly: “There are only 8,000 people in the imperial army in Qudu. If there is no news from Fengshan Campus, there will be no way to come to support. Xiao Chiye is already a caged beast. Today, we must capture him!”
Heavy rain rumbled, and dense footsteps surrounded the palace.The scabbard rubbed against the armor, and the Eighth Battalion formed a tight siege outside the dormitory.Fuman couldn’t stand up after hearing the sound. The eunuchs huddled in the corners, fearing that they would be sacrificed.
Xiao Chiye finally stood up, and in the interplay of light and shadow, he lowered the curtain for Li Jianheng, then turned around and took off the hundred-jin Overlord Bow.The palace door had already been opened. Xiao Chiye pushed aside the fluttering curtains and walked into the heavy rain without looking back.
Han Cheng and his men drew out their swords. He had nothing to say, because they had already won.They want to change the world in this heavy rain and make Xiao Chiye kneel down again.
Xiao Chiye looked at the swarming heads, stepped out and walked down the long steps.He didn’t have a knife. When the rain wiped away his indifference, he had already collided with the crowd.The Overlord blocked the blade with his bow, and pushed back against the human wall, suppressing the roar of the rainstorm with his indomitable momentum.
Shen Zechuan rode his horse across the street. The imperial guards and imperial guards behind him were like red snakes, smashing through the palace door in the flash of sword light and running straight in.
The entire palace was surrounded by armor, and the sound of fighting filled the sky.The influx of horses accelerated the fighting speed. Lang Taoxuejin ignored the sea of people and headed straight for Xiao Chiye.Xiao Chiye got on his horse in this momentary gap and caught the wolf knife thrown by Shen Zechuan.
Xiao Chiye suddenly drew his sword and said, “Quandu is not my dream country. I want to go home today. Whoever dares to stop me – kill him!”
After saying that, he clamped the horse and swung the knife to see blood.
With the rain hitting his face, Xiao Chiye forced his way out.The battlefield retreated from the palace to the street. Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Cheng quickly shouted: “Guard the city gate to the letter, and we must not let this evil obstacle to kill you and rebel against you tonight escape!”
The Eighth Battalion was no match for the Forbidden Army. Even if there were many people, they were afraid of death and were forced to retreat step by step by this wolf-tiger army.The city gate was already closed. Shen Zechuan climbed onto the city wall first with his knife, kicked down the obstacles, and asked someone to open the city gate.The closed door was lifted with a roar, and outside the rain curtain was the home that Xiao Chiye had longed for for the past six years.
Han Cheng turned around and shouted: “Go and pick someone up quickly!”
Xiao Chi Ye Ye had already left the city, and he raised his hand to signal Ding Tao to lead people to the Fengshan Campus, taking the 20,000 forbidden troops with him.He turned around in the crowd, opened his arms to Shen Zechuan on the city wall, and said in a deep voice: “Lan Zhou, follow me!”
But the Jinyi guards stood motionless. Shen Zechuan was holding on to the wall in the heavy rain, looking at Xiao Chiye, as if he wanted to see clearly.
The Eighth Battalion has surged up again and is about to chase them out of the city gate.The high-hanging city gate let out an unbearable groan, the iron chain reverberated quickly, and the city gate crashed down.
“Ce’an,” Shen Zechuan raised his voice and said softly through the heavy rain, “go home.”
Xiao Chiye felt as if his heart had been poured with cold water. He tightened the reins and rode back.The city gate slammed to the ground, blocking all the pursuers of the Eighth Battalion behind the door, and completely blocking Xiao Chiye from the door.
Xiao Chiye shouted hoarsely, like an enraged beast: “Shen Lanzhou!”
Shen Zechuan no longer looked at Xiao Chiye, but turned back to look at Han Cheng and the densely packed Eighth Battalion soldiers.
Han Cheng tilted his head, spat, and said ferociously: “Shen Zechuan, you ruined my good deeds!”
“You are worthy of calling yourself Jinyiwei,” Shen Zechuan said coldly, looking down at him.”Jinyiwei has been a hero with a clear conscience since Ji Wufan. Today you set up a trap to murder the emperor. Han Cheng, it is only natural that I kill you!”
Han Cheng raised his head and laughed, saying, “Who are you? A remnant of the Shen family! I treated you well and helped you many times, and this is how you repay me? Come on! Bring me up and let Shen Tongzhi take a look!”
Qi Huilian was dragged out, his hair and disheveled face fell into the rain, and he cursed: “The dog thief is treacherous!”
Han Cheng grabbed the chain and rode forward, dragging Qi Huilian along the street.He pointed at Qi Huilian and said to Shen Zechuan: “Have you been looking for it for a long time? Here it is! Shen Zechuan, come and pick him up quickly!”
“Dog thief, dog thief!” Qi Huilian was furious and was dragged with mud on his face.
Han Cheng looked at Shen Zechuan’s pale face, then looked at Shen Zechuan’s gloomy eyes, and said, “Your eldest brother is the prince of Jianxing. I remember that he was dragged to death by the Biansha cavalry, but you have no feelings, so you don’t feel any pain at all. It’s your turn today, sir, do you feel any pain?”
“Han Cheng!” Shen Zechuan said these two words between his teeth, “You went through all the trouble to hide Mr. in your hands. What do you want?”
“Originally it was of great use!” Han Cheng also suddenly changed his face, “But you let Xiao Chiye go and ruined my situation. You are no longer useful, and he is useless! If you still want his life, come down and kowtow to me and admit your mistake! Kneel down and shout daddy three times, and I will spare his life and yours!”
Shen Zechuan stepped forward and said, “Deal!”
“Fart!” Qi Huilian raised his head from the muddy water, wiped off the dirt, got up, and stared at Shen Zechuan, “I teach you poetry and calligraphy, not to let you be humiliated! I, Qi Huilian, don’t even kneel to heaven and earth, how can you kneel to he, a humble person?!”
The chains clattered.
Qi Huilian staggered and shouted loudly in the rain: “A hundred years are like a butterfly in a dream, I can come and go freely! In this life of my life, I have experienced glory, wealth, fame and wealth, I -” heHe laughed crazily and tugged on the chain around his neck, “I laugh at all the heroes in the world, and the sages in the world are not as good as me! Who can compete with me, Qi Huilian? I have been famous all over the world since I came out of Yuzhou three times! When I talk and laugh in front of the emperor, and point out the country, Han Cheng, where are you? You are still the rat in the gutter!”
Qi Hui was constantly drenched in the rain, as if she was drunk.
“You rats are not even worthy of carrying my shoes! The aristocratic family, such as Shen Xi in the world, told Hai Liangyi that Da Zhou was terminally ill. HeYou and I are helpless!” Qi Huilian turned around arrogantly and spat at Han Cheng, saying, “But I will not give up.I will only be the emperor’s teacher in this life!Lan Zhou! The cage is broken and troubles will arise.I have already taught you everything I can in this world…”
Qi Huilian turned his back to Shen Zechuan and suddenly choked up.The heavy rain drenched his body, but it could not extinguish the passion that had been burning for several years.He used to always call Prince, but at this moment, he couldn’t bear to look back at Shen Zechuan.
“This is a rotten world, it’s better to turn it over and make your own world. Lan Zhou, let’s go, don’t look back, sir, I will carry those 40,000 innocent souls for you, don’t be afraid, you -” he fell to the ground in the rain, looking at the sky, muttering: “Don’t be afraid…”
There was a thunderous thunderstorm, and Shen Zechuan fell to his knees in silence.He stared blankly, despite the heavy rain, and in that long silence, the disguise was torn to pieces, and finally let out the first roar of despair in the past six years.There was no sense in his red eyes. He held Yang Shanxue and suddenly drew his sword.
“Han Cheng——!”
He hates this world and hates these faces so much.
Shen Zechuan stood up from the ground, and the snow on the mountains cut through the raindrops, throwing away blood in the tight siege.He kills one, then another, he steps over the corpses, but he looks like an abandoned beast.The knife passed through the throat, as fast as mercury flowing, and blood sprayed on half of Shen Zechuan’s face.
He was devastated, and the blood flowed down his cheeks like tears.
Han Cheng retreated again and again, shouting: “Kill him!”
Raindrops burst in the wind, and a long arrow arrived in front of Han Cheng in the blink of an eye.Xiao Chiye jumped down from the city wall along the iron chain, kicked the person down, turned over and drew his sword and stabbed the person through.He held the body like this and hit the light of the knife with a quick step. When he drew the knife, his hands were soaked with blood.
Xiao Chiye dragged Shen Zechuan back with one arm and whistled.He spread his wings and flew sideways, pecking Han Cheng’s right eye in the chaos.Han Cheng hid his face in a hurry and heard the sound of horse hooves outside the city. Ding Tao had already led people to come quickly.
“Break open the door!” Ding Tao shouted hoarsely.
The Forbidden Army surged forward, but before they could move, they heard the city gate make a dull noise again and was slowly lifted up.
Fei Sheng dragged the chain, gasped a few times, and retreated hard with the Jin Yiwei.He cursed: “Fuck your ancestors! It’s so heavy, what a shame! Master Hou——! Get on your horse and run!”
Lang Tao Xuejin rushed in from the gap, and the killing cry buried the capital.
Bianjun, who was also shouting loudly, was also fighting to the death. Lu Guangbai could hardly lift his gun. As he retreated, he shouted: “Where are the reinforcements?!”
The deputy general was stabbed several times and said, “No…he didn’t come.”
With the sound of rain, Lu Guangbai looked back and looked in the direction of the camp.
Xiao Chiye had already mounted his horse, holding Shen Zechuan in front of him, and rushed towards the city gate through the heavy rain.
There was lightning and thunder, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and the rain fell to the ground.
Lu Guangbai tore off his old cloak and nailed the gun to his feet.He said in the wind and rain: “We can’t fight anymore.”
The lieutenant lay on the edge of the sandy slope and looked at him.
“Destiny wants me to stay here all my life, but this is not the path I chose.” Lu Guangbai took off his armor with the mark of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wiped the wind and frost on his face, his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life, and said slightly to himself, “The yellow sand has submerged my limbs, and I don’t want to surrender to a futile fate anymore. The imperial edict can’t save my soldiers, and the court can’t feed my horses.”
Xiao Chiye had already rushed out of the capital, with countless soldiers chasing him behind him.They rushed forward, as if tearing through the dark rainy sky.
“I don’t want to die for this again.”
Lu Guangbai closed his eyes, blood dripping into the yellow sand along his fingers.He slid in his throat, and finally opened his eyes with depression.
The blood on Shen Zechuan’s cheeks was washed away, and a sorrowful sob escaped his throat. In this embarrassing run, he had abandoned the obedience that once obeyed his orders. They were like a sharp sword, breaking through the heavy rain.
Lu Guangbai washed his hands in the rain and held the spear again.
They are all prisoners chased by fate, and they were once willing to be shackled.But the heavy rain washed away the building, and the collapse came like a flood.
Forward, forward!
“I’m going to climb that mountain.”
“I will fight for myself!”
