Following the incoming arrow rain, Ling Shu unleashed his sword in the cabin, and cast it out in all directions in an airtight manner. Where the sword energy was vertical and horizontal, the feathered arrows were chopped off and flew in all directions. It's a pity that the space in this cabin is too small, he can't use his body skills after all, he is recovering from a serious illness, his hands are weak, although he has tried his best, but there are some omissions, two of the arrows are powerful, he can't block them, One grazed his ribs, and the other shot on his left arm, causing a sharp pain in an instant.
He didn't have time to think about it, he picked up a case in front of him with his toes, and there was a blocking object first. Then Nian Wei screamed outside the cabin: "Yun Qi, what are you doing?"
I heard Bei Chenqing's voice: "I am following His Highness's will. I will leave at the end of the year, please get out of the way."
Then there was Zhong Lizhen's voice: "No, Yun Qi, Master Hou had an explanation when he left, let us take care of Lord Ling, no matter what you want to do, you have to wait for him to come back." Bei Chenqing ordered the three Ma family brothers to stop him and Nian Wei by surprise, and then fired random arrows in. Ling Shu inside didn't know if he was still safe at this time, maybe he had turned into a hedgehog.
Bei Chenqing was also very helpless, with bitterness in his heart: "I was also forced to come here. His Highness repeatedly reminded the little wolf to send Ling Shu to the road, but he still refused to do it. If I wait for him to come back, I don't need to do anything, just wait to be punished and scolded." So he just ignored the two of them, and Hengdao broke into the cabin. But there was a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the cold wind rushed towards him with sword energy.
Bei Chenqing hangs his right hand by his neck, and uses the saber in his left hand, still responding swiftly, with the saber in his backhand, the sword collides with his back. Shu Jian walked lightly, and passed a few moves like lightning and flint. The guards outside had already heard that Ling Shu was not dead, so they swarmed in, and began to beat him with weapons.
In this cabin, I couldn't turn around. In a blink of an eye, the case turned upside down several times. It was a mess. Ling Shu was injured again in the midst of his illness. How could he be the opponent of these many people? Suddenly, he missed and the long sword was blown away by Wei Linxian with the back of the knife. Going out, Wei Linxian himself was staggered by the shock and fell far away. Another guard took the opportunity to slap his palm heavily on the back of his heart, and he was beaten staggeringly and fell under the window, with blood dripping from the corners of his lips. Two guards took advantage of the gap to enter and put the long knife on his neck.
After the incident, Ling Shu did not show any panic, but supported the bulkhead with his hands, stood up slowly, stretched out his sleeves and slowly wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, looked up at Bei Chenqing, his expression still awe-inspiring.
Bei Chenqing said: "I will follow His Royal Highness Zhao Wang's order and come here to invite Lord Ling to go on the road."
Hearing the words, Nian Wei and Zhong Lizhen struggled to get to the cabin door, but were stopped by Ma Tianbao and others. Bai Tingbi was timid, just trembling against the side of the boat, not daring to come over to persuade him.
At the end of the year, seeing that Ling Shu was almost unable to stand still, he was so anxious that he burst into tears, and shouted: "Yun Qi, how can I explain to Lord Hou that you killed him like this? I don't have to live anymore, you even killed me Come on!"
Zhong Lizhen also said: "Yun Qi, for the sake of the young master, you can let him go."
The guards grew up together, Bei Chenqing couldn't bear to see the two of them begging him constantly, but he could only force himself to ignore them, and ordered Wei Linxian to say: "Seal their acupoints, and even Together with dumb acupoints." Wei Linxian acted according to his words, the acupoints of the two people were sealed, and they were thrown outside the cabin unable to move, but they still stared fiercely at this side, but they were powerless after all.
Seeing Ling Shu acting like this, he didn't have much to say, and he had nothing to say at this time. Seeing his embarrassment, Bei Chenqing felt pity for him, and said, "Master Ling, it's not that I will not give you a way out. Our Royal Highness Zhao Wang once issued an edict that anyone who hurt the former emperor will be severely punished and will not be spared. But you killed him. Not to mention why you killed the first emperor, but he did die in your hands. We have to explain to everyone in the world."
At this point, Ling Shu finally couldn't help but sneered, and said lightly: "I was chased and killed thousands of miles along with the so-called late emperor in your mouth, and I was forced to go nowhere, but who brought us to this situation? Yes. , I killed the first emperor by mistake, but you group of rebels who bullied the emperor, now use me as a shield to seal the mouths of the world, don't you feel that you want to cover up your shamelessness? If I deserve to die, then You should be hacked into pieces, but what face do you have to teach me?"
Bei Chenqing once quarreled with him in Fengyuguan Fengyun Inn. When talking about skill, Ling Shu spoke harshly and directly. Bei Chenqing was not his opponent, so he was speechless again at this time. He glanced slowly over Ling Shu, and saw that he was wearing the cloak that Yang Ye usually wore, and it was beaten to pieces in several places.
His heart moved slightly, and he said: "It's useless to talk now, I hope you don't resent us, especially the little wolf, he doesn't know about this matter. Last time in Hanoi, it wasn't him who shot you, it was me. His bow and arrow skills are not good. Well, he really likes you, we can all see that. But I think you treat him only mediocrely, and you don't like him very much, but you let him down Love is broken."
Ling Shu supported the bulkhead, and when he heard him mention the old things in Hanoi, his whole body was shocked, his face changed a few times, and finally he snorted coldly: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't want to see him?"
Bei Chenqing was stunned, seeing his expression slowly turning desolate, and when he mentioned Yang Ye, he seemed to have a feeling of nostalgia, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and said, "Then even if you have affection for him, it's not in vain for him." Lovesickness. If you feel wronged, go to the underworld to file a complaint and put all these messy accounts on my head. If there is any retribution, just come to me."
Ling Shu said in a low voice: "Then I..." He wanted to ask if I could see him again, but he didn't say it after all, he just said it after thinking about it. Well, he would never do such a thing of begging for mercy.
He involuntarily looked out of the window, wanting to see if Yang Ye was on the boat that he was in right now. It's a pity that the two ships are far away, and they are not driving side by side. How can they be seen?
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Bei Chenqing understood in his heart, and sighed: "Don't look, he won't come. This is the end of the matter, seeing each other is better than not seeing each other. But you can leave a letter for him." Following him With those words, a guard presented the Four Treasures of the Study.
Ling Shu didn't want to write at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally took the pen and wrote down the numbers for chat: "The old acquaintances in Luoyang and the old ways in Chang'an are just the past. Older, younger, farewell from now on, don't miss love again, love makes people grow old." Afterwards, without inscription or name, he threw the paper away and said, "Let's do it."
The guards remembered Yang Ye's temper, but none of them dared to do anything, for fear of being stained with his blood. If Yang Ye knew the inside story, he might not be able to wash it off in this lifetime.
Bei Chenqing gritted his teeth and asked, "Sir, can you swim?"
Ling Shudao: "If you want to kill, kill it, why are you rambling?"
Bei Chenqing said: "According to the information about you collected by Xiaobai in the past, your lord doesn't go out of Dali Temple often, so you should know how to swim, right?"
Ling Shu raised his dark eyes, glanced at him, and finally said, "Yes, I can't swim."
Bei Chenqing said: "Then the window behind you is open, you can jump down." The water here is very fast, it is winter, the river is freezing cold, Ling Shu can't swim, and he was seriously injured, if he jumps like this, That's totally insane.
A group of people stared at him intently, finally saw him nod his head, and said, "Okay, I'll jump."
As soon as he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Bei Chenqing said: "Lord Ling always does what he says, withdraw the sword."
The two guards withdrew their knives as promised, Ling Shu fumbled to pick up his Pillow Bingjian, and looked back at Bei Chenqing, his eyes were cold, with a bit of disdain and contempt. This gaze was so familiar, Bei Chenqing suddenly remembered that more than two years ago, in the Fengyun Inn, Ling Shu first scolded himself for his servility, and then looked at him with such eyes, indifferent and transparent, as if passing through thousands of miles of clouds and smoke, I don't know where I saw it. At that time, he was an important official in the court carrying the imperial decree, but now, he is a desolate prisoner, but this contemptuous and indifferent look, this lonely and indifferent aura never seems to have changed in the slightest.
Bei Chenqing sighed in his heart: "I am slavish, and I will never change it in my life. If you look down on me, it's up to you."
Ling Shu turned his eyes away, turned his head resolutely, took a deep breath, turned around and went out through the window, and threw himself into the river with a soft squeak.
As expected, everyone still couldn't help being shocked. Bei Chenqing involuntarily took a few steps forward, looked out the window, but could only see his hair like a handful of black algae blooming a flower in the water, and then flashed a few times with the waves, and was soon swept away by the river water. Swallowed up, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Bei Chenqing turned around and picked up the piece of paper, sighed softly, looked up at the feather arrows nailed everywhere on the bulkhead, and said solemnly to the guards: "This matter ends here, just assume that Master Ling does not want to follow King Zhao and Marquis, kill yourself. I will evacuate to another boat and burn this boat." He turned his head to look at Zhonglizhen and Nianwei, and said softly, "Of course, if Nianwei and Zhongli are going to tell Little Wolf , I will not stop it. Just say that I forced him to die, just let me kill him, don't implicate others."
Suddenly a big fire ignited on this boat, even though it was in the river, even though it was snowing, it couldn't resist the raging fire.
On the other boat, the drunk Yang Ye suddenly came to his senses for some reason. He only felt throbbing pains in his chest. He ignored Yang Xi's obstruction and rushed out of the cabin. There are a few broken planks, still billowing green smoke.
Nian Wei and Zhong Lizhen knelt on the side of the boat to plead guilty, and Nian Wei handed over the paper tremblingly: "Master Ling set fire to the boat, and then committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. His subordinates are incompetent and powerless to stop him, please punish him."
Yang Ye leaned on the side of the boat, feeling heartbroken at this moment, before he could speak for a while: "Okay, very good, I only agreed to it yesterday, and today I will give me a head-on blow! It turns out that you are lying to me, you You have been lying to me! You can’t die by jumping over the wall, so you just jump into the river! But did I really make you hate this? In order to leave me, in such a cold day, you actually jumped into the water. Isn’t the water cold? ?” He looked up at the rolling river, desperate in the cold north wind: “Farewell from now on, don’t miss each other again! Ling Shu, Ling Shu, since you treat me like this, then I will obey you! Go to hell, You are dead! I will never miss you again, I will never miss you again!"
