Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 454: Sacrifice (eight)

"Why, why..." Liu Liuyao pressed his left hand to a wound on his leg, blood stained his white dance clothes, and his eyes were full of complex emotions staring at Zhou Xian. Anger, hatred, regret... The most are doubts and puzzles.

Zhou Xian's innocent and charming face was almost distorted at this time, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

Yes, what she did is really unreasonable. As a co-conspirator in this operation, she is also the Queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the enemy is clear! Even if she is delicate, even if she can't make the move, she doesn't have the ability to do assassin; but at a critical moment, she suddenly turns back and warns the enemy. What does it mean? !

She doesn't even understand it herself.

The surrounding scenes have become empty and void, and even the screams of the women have become lonely and monotonous, and she has turned a deaf ear to the noisy shouts. She felt her soul had been taken away. The soldiers yelled and cursed angrily, swaying the sword in their hands, but Zhou Xian was not even scared at all.

Responsibility, as a queen should be the responsibility of loyalty to the country; concern, concern for sisters and relatives in Jiangning Mansion; loyalty, a womanhood that should be guarded by women... Numerous pressures and endless cocoons have already wrapped her up , She has no other choice, only one way...

Maybe given enough time for Zhou Xian to think and weigh, she will eventually succumb to the cocoon of the world, because the consequences are predictable and the pros and cons are obvious; just like when she was in Tokyo, she still left and returned to Southern Tang.

However, this time she was not given a chance to weigh the pros and cons. Only in the rush, she saw the dazzling murder weapon and smelled the murderous intent in the air. Liu Liuyao's swordsmanship is quite good. Zhou Xian thinks that she is very likely to succeed within a few steps of Guo Shao. At that moment, Zhou Xian really felt that Guo Shao would be stabbed to death if she was not prepared enough!

So she obeyed her heart, couldn't control herself, and shouted that sentence: General Guo, that man is an assassin! Behind this sentence, how much pressure she has endured and how much courage she has gathered, I am afraid that only she can understand.

She is not a courageous person, she is the same inside and outside, very weak. But she really couldn't bear the result of Guo Shao being stabbed to death, especially if she could avoid it; in that case, death and death would not be enough, and she felt that she would be ruined with her soul.

Living in this world, she has only felt pain and emptiness in recent years. It was this man, he used his warm eyes to soothe her scars, his eyes were like clean sunshine, and he awakened her nostalgia for life with a sincere heart. It was this man who made her no longer numb. The price may be a bit high for the short-term affection, but she can't control it...

Zhou Xian turned his head to look at his superior position. There were two martial artists in front of him blocking him. From the gap between the two martial artists, he could faintly see Guo Shao lowering his head, but he said nothing.

The people in the big tent looked different and messed up. Only Guo Shao sat in that chair from beginning to end, not moving a bit, including when Liu Liuyao attacked, he was still there. He is like a centering pole in a pot of boiling water. Now he didn't respond either, as if he hadn't seen and heard all this.

Although he is already behind, he still has an aura, deterring the whole scene and condensing the order in this chaotic situation.

Zhou Xian could see that this young man had gradually become a magnificent man, and he was no longer just the kind of simple martial artist from the bottom of the speculation.

Zhou Xian looked at him in silence, tears finally slipped from his cheeks:

I will die, my ruin will be overwhelmed, and I will sacrifice myself as a pious tribute, offering my soul to sacrifice this love. And you should live well; I believe you are worth living, and your life is more useful to the world.

I remember your domineering eyes looking at the wind and sail from the river, your ambition will definitely become a reality! You have the grandeur and the qualifications to be a hero or even a hero, and you have the strength to hold a tiger and wolf teacher based on the vast land and mountains. Even if I can't see it, I can imagine your majestic hegemony that one day achieves unprecedented success.

I believe that you have a heart that loves the world as a child, and you have achieved a hegemony, which will bring light and fire to the world. The righteousness you have said will definitely be done. It will not let down the life and soul I have dedicated to you today, and will make everything valuable...

"Let down! Throw away the sword!" Zhou Xian was awakened by a warrior's anger.

Zhou Xian's face was full of tears, and his face was blank. He lowered his head and glanced at the sword he was holding in his hand, the sword used for dancing, but it could also be used as a weapon. She didn't put it down, but slowly lifted it up.

Her actions immediately aroused the alert of the soldiers. The crossbow that had been facing the ground was raised again, and someone shouted: "What do you want to do?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Stop! Don't hurt her!"

Guo Shao's voice was anxious and concerned. Zhou Xian's cheeks became hot again, and new tears came out, but a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, smiling at Guo Shao who stood up nervously.

She didn't pause, twisted her upper body slightly, and quickly raised the sword to lean against her neck. At this moment, a palm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the sword's edge straight... Blood immediately appeared from the gap between the fingers that held the sword's edge. Zhou Xian was startled, she was a little dizzy, she was not afraid of death, and she felt weak in her hands and feet when she saw the blood. When I looked up, I saw a young brawny man standing in front of him. The young general Zhou Xian had seen, who was often next to Guo Shao, seemed to be named Lu Chengyong.

Lu Chengyong didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and said blankly: "The lord doesn't allow you to die, you can't die."

At this time, Guo Shao walked over quickly. He was the core of the Chinese Army's Great Account, and when something changed, everyone's eyes were on him, and people looked at him curiously and surprised.

Liu Liuyao suddenly sneered, "I finally know..."

When Zhou Xian heard this rather teasing remark, it was obviously ironic that she was shameless and unruly. Her heart was surging, all emotions intertwined, she raised her head and looked at Guo Shao with pleading eyes: "General Guo, you can let me go. I live more than die."

Guo Shao's face was blue and white, and he said categorically, "If I can't protect even a woman, what kind of husband?"

The generals and singers all turned their eyes. He took a sigh of relief and said, "Remember what I said? When I met for the first time yesterday, I told you, don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Zhou Xian did remember this sentence, but she didn't think much about it at the time.

Guo Shao's voice said again: "But you don't listen. Now I say it again, can you believe me, just believe it once... You promise me now, don't rush to death, otherwise I can't forgive myself."

When Zhou Xian heard this, his body softened slightly, and his excitement a little bit eased. She has an indescribable obsession with being cared for, valued, and treated with care.

She really didn't want to die, she was very nostalgic for life at this time, and she was reluctant to feel this way.

At this moment, the envoy of Nantang suddenly fell to the ground with a plop, and everyone turned to look over. The envoy looked pale: "Who sent this assassin? He is trying to trap me in the South of Tang Dynasty! General Guo, the next official swears to heaven that our court has no knowledge of this matter..."

... Zuo You said coldly: "Who has the courage, who picked these singing girls? Of course it is your country's lord who does this kind of thing."

"General Guo... calm down your anger," the envoy hurriedly said.

Guo Shao looked angry and couldn't stop. He had been alert to the assassin from all signs, but before the woman really did it, he wasn't sure...what he really thought, he couldn't figure out why Li Yu did such things, or where he had the courage. Li Yu is a monarch after all.

There is a feeling of anger and anger. This is because I think Laozi is a soft eggplant, and I am not afraid of my revenge?

Guo Shao finally restrained his inner anger and chaotic thoughts. He exhaled, looked back at the left and right, and looked at the officials on the ground, coldly said: "The envoy of the Southern Tang State, I should have reminded you that you must understand that what the assassin did tonight will cause very serious consequences. as a result of."

The envoy was already pale and bloodless. As a bureaucrat familiar with government affairs, he should understand.

Zuo You heard Guo Shao's words and immediately stood up and said loudly: "The Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs are not righteous, Jiangning Mansion is tyrannical | The political power! They even used such despicable means to plot against Guo Shao, generals, who can bear it? Which is unbearable!"

Dong Zunhao was the most angry, punching his fist as if he was about to hit someone, and shouted: "The army has trampled on Jiangning Mansion and razed the capital city of Southern Tang to the ground! We want revenge, and the entire family of Li Yu can only be angered!"

The generals were very angry, because they supported Guo Shao so much, they immediately shouted and screamed in the big tent, and the atmosphere of violence filled with violence.

Zuo You turned to look at Guo Shao. Guo Shao had been silent for a while, and then felt Zuo You's gaze, and then turned his head and glanced at him. Guo Shao understood what he meant, and said at the right moment: "The war is imminent, and you have brave hearts, I am very relieved. My Da Zhou army is just right, and I will fight invincible and invincible!"

Everyone yelled angrily after hearing this: "Invincible ~ www.readwn.com~ Invincible..."

Amid the noise, Guo Shao paid attention to Zhou Xian's appearance, she looked haggard and tangled. Lu Chengyong was still standing beside him, his injured hand squeezed into a fist to stop the bleeding, and Guo Shao looked at his injured hand with a questioning look. Lu Chengyong clasped his fists and said: "It's just a skin injury, and it will be fine in the end."

Guo Shao nodded, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Look at the woman who hurt you, and send her back to my account later."

"Understand." Lu Chengyong said.

Guo Shao glanced at the remaining Southern Tang state envoys and singing girls, and said: "All are in custody, waiting for the conviction of the Secretary. No one should be let go, nor should they be allowed to leak."

The two generals replied in a salute: "Here."

He looked at Zhou Xian again, but did not act too obvious, and left here with her. Now take the lead to walk out of the Chinese army's big tent.
