Chapter 267 Death of Yuwen Chenglian
As he spoke, a sonic boom could be heard.
Xiao Ruyue peeked her head out to look. Under the dark sky, a few black clothed men jumped down from the roof from various directions.
Only then did she realize that they had been taken to a canyon.
This place was surrounded by mountains, and there was only one opening that people could pass through. It was a place that was easy to defend, but hard to attack.
The dozen or so men in black had obviously been lying in ambush here.
The leader must have been bribed long before he left the capital. His actions along the way were all just for show.
Xiao Ruyue was not confident, but she was exceptionally worried.
"You dare to betray This King!" Yuwen Chenglian was furious, he pulled out his blade and slashed at him.
The leader's figure flashed, and quickly dodged Yuwen Chenglian's attack. With a flip of his hand, he gave Yuwen Chenglian a palm, and casually pulled out his blade to stab at him.
Perhaps Yuwen Chenglian was a practitioner back then, but he had neglected training for so many years, his body had long been hollowed out, he was completely different from his previous self.
The two of them were fighting, and the rest of the people, seeing the chaos, surrounded the carriage.
Xiao Ruyue quickly retreated back into the carriage.
Wenshansu also retreated, "Esteemed Empress, the situation is urgent, we should think of a way to escape."
Xiao Ruyue laughed bitterly: I want to as well, but how do I escape?
The Wenshansu had a dark face. Yuwen Chenglian was still making his last struggle as he fought the people surrounding the carriage. Screams and cries of pain could be heard incessantly.
Suddenly, someone jumped onto the horse carriage. With a whip, the horse carriage started running.
In the carriage, both Xiao Ruyue and the Wenshansu were caught off guard and fiercely crashed into each other. Slightly sitting down, Wenshansu stuck his head out, only to see that the driver was Yuwen Chenglian.
There were torches on the carriage, the torches lit up Yuwen Chenglian's body, he was impressively injured and had a blade stabbed into his abdomen.
The horse steps gradually drew closer, but the carriage slowed down.
Xiao Ruyue did not know how to describe her feelings anymore. She slowly closed his eyes and saw that there was a stone wall in front of him. Just as the carriage was about to crash into it, she suddenly opened his eyes and pulled on the reins.
But he had also completely used up all his strength at this moment. He looked back at Xiao Ruyue, and fresh blood continuously flowed out of his mouth, "Women are all virtuous beings.
Where are you from?
Xiao Ruyue wanted to say this, but when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back.
At this moment, her emotions were indescribably complicated.
When she was reborn, her heart was filled with anger and resentment, wanting to cut Yuwen Chenglian into a thousand pieces and execute him at any time. But now that he was dying in front of her, she didn't feel as good as she had thought.
Was it because times had changed, or was her heart was currently stuffed with only Yuwen He, so she didn't even have any hatred towards him anymore.
"Stop talking, there's no comparison between you two."
Yuwen Chenglian laughed miserably, "You wouldn't lie even when one is about to die, coax me!"
Wenshansu grabbed him, but he did not fall off the carriage.
The anger in Yuwen Chenglian's eyes slowly faded, he did not know where he got the strength from, but he tightly held onto Xiao Ruyue's hand, "Yan Jue, Yuwen!"
Before he finished speaking, a blade pierced through the air and whizzed through Yuwen Chenglian's flesh like a gust of wind.
His eyes stared like bells, and he closed them.
Xiao Ruyue was stunned. She had thought of many different situations in which she would allow this person to die, whether it was her blood blade or his punishment by the country's laws, but she had never thought that he would die like this in front of her.
Xiao Ruyue felt dizzy, the smell of blood was spreading in the air, and her entire body was starting to feel uncomfortable.
Wenshansu immediately dragged Xiao Ruyue back into the carriage.
He stuck his head out of the carriage, but in the blink of an eye, the carriage was once again surrounded.
Under the lead of the leader in black, the group of black-clothed men kicked Yuwen Chenglian's corpse off the horse carriage and stepped on Yuwen Chenglian's corpse.
Saying that, he stared straight at Wenshansu, "Old thing, hand over the woman inside. You have to be good. "
Both his words and his words revealed his filthiness and filthiness.
"How dare you!" In the end, Wenshansu was a person who had served as the Minister of Rites before, and he paid the most attention to etiquette.
"The empress has a noble phoenix body, how can you be blasphemous!"
"Isn't she just some empress with a noble phoenix body? A woman used by the emperor can't be touched by others, right?"
"How dare you!" Wenshansu's eyes almost split open.
The leader sneered: "I am not here to discuss with you. "Have you thought about it? If you push me away, I can still let you live. If you don't let me die, hmph!" Your father will move your head! "
Wenshansu was so angry that his face was flushed red, the leader led the black-clothed men to surround the general, but he did not seem to be willing to let go, "If you have the ability, kill me with one slash. Even your masters do not have the guts to take my life. I would like to see how you explain this to your masters if you bring a dead me back! "
It was similarly difficult for Xiao Ruyue to stay in the carriage, her stomach throbbed in pain, her vision became even more blurry, almost to the point of being drowned by darkness, her stomach churning violently.
Her left hand tightened on the front of her shirt, refusing to pass out. Her right hand clenched into a fist, her nails digging into her flesh.
She bit down hard on her index finger. It was a very small wound, and soon she saw something that looked like an arch beneath it. The entire piece of skin had swelled up.
"Kid, it's your turn to fight." Xiao Ruyue forced out a weak smile.
It wasn't clear if it was because of what she had said, but as soon as she said it, a little bit of white emerged from the wound on her fingertip, then like a silkworm spitting silk, bit by bit, the white color was squeezed out.
Extremely thin and long.
After a while, the pile of white color extended from her fingertips all the way to her palm. Xiao Ruyue felt a bit of pain and groaned.
It was the protective Gu worm that Big Sister Ya Yin gave her back then — the Jade Silkworm Gu.
Xiao Ruyue gently shook her hand, and the insect jumped out from the palm of her hand.
"Old thing, don't be so shameless!" The leader's heart was hit hard as he ferociously grabbed Wenshansu by the collar. With the blade in his hand, he swung down.
However, his hand remained frozen in midair, and his expression suddenly changed. He then screamed out, "What is this thing biting me about?!"
And then he fell down.
The surrounding people looked at each other, then another person screamed, "What's that!"
Screams came one after another. Wenshansu was stunned for a moment as he thought of something. He reached his hand into the carriage to check on Xiao Ruyue's condition.
Xiao Ruyue was sweating profusely and her face was even paler than paper. Her hands were stained with blood and she looked terrible.
"Esteemed Empress, you …"
"Jussi, quickly leave."
Miserable screams sounded continuously from outside. When Wenshansu saw that, they had actually started killing each other, and started cutting at each other with their swords. It was indeed a good time to escape, but the situation in front of him was such that he could not leave.
The Wenshansu tried his best to help Xiao Ruyue sit down. Since he didn't know how to drive, he mustered his courage and pulled on the reins to turn around. However, right at this moment, an arrow pierced through the sky.
With a "sou", one of the arrows pierced through the carriage, causing Xiao Ruyue to be on the verge of collapsing. With the quiver of the arrow, she was no longer able to hold on, and her vision turned black as she fainted …
Without realizing it, dawn had arrived.
Yuwen He and the rest spent the entire night on the public road.
Initially, they had chased him along the official road. Afterwards, they had gone far in the middle of the night, but they did not see any trace of Yuwen Chenglian fleeing in panic. Only then did they realize that something was amiss.
They followed the tracks and finally found the canyon.
"Too late!" Yuwen He angrily threw his horse whip out, "Damn it!"
Yin Lin looked at the floor full of corpses, feeling lost. Emmie lowered its head and began to whimper.
Yuwen He was the first to jump down from the horse, Chong Yang and the rest followed.
At least twenty people had died on the ground, and more than ten of them were covered in black. Seven or eight of them were dressed in the clothes of ordinary retainers, and some of them had died from knife wounds, while some had died of something unknown.
There were also traces of blood on the ground.
Yuwen He suddenly saw something, and looked closer, only to find an arrow on the dead man's body. He pulled it out with all his might.
"Yuwen He, I smelled the Queen's scent!" Tang Jingzhi shouted excitedly.
Yuwen He was staring at the arrow, his expression was gloomy and people could not even look straight into his eyes, let alone see what he was thinking.
Chong Yang and Thirteen took a bold look, but discovered that the thing in Yuwen He's hand looked extremely familiar, and they both spoke at the same time, "This arrow …"
The veins on Yuwen He's forehead popped out, and without caring about turning around, he climbed onto the horse and shouted: "Let's go!"
"Your Majesty, we ran all night and were tired. Even if we don't rest, we still have to rest." Yin Lin anxiously said.
Yuwen He coldly glared at her, changed his direction, and walked away.
Yin Lin's neck shrunk as she felt chills down her spine. However, she still got on the horse with the green robe.
The others did not dare to delay any further and hurriedly mounted their horses to chase after him.
The darkness was boundless.
Xiao Ruyue was in a daze for a long time.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain that caused her to open her eyes.
Yuwen He!
The face that caught her eye first flashed before her eyes, and she almost cried out.
But when she saw it, she realized something was wrong.
No, this person was not Yuwen He.
Although Yuwen He was a scoundrel like him occasionally, he wouldn't make people think that he looked so weird.
"Hello sister-in-law." The man that looked extremely similar to Yuwen He smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
