Chapter 71: The dead are gone, the living are like this.
As the sun sets over the western mountains, all the coffins and coffins are buried.
Lu Xing led Wei Ying to Xin Yi's tomb and stopped for a long time.
"Will we see him again?" Wei Ying raised her eyebrows, her eyes were red, and she cried again.
The tombstone is simple. On the stone is engraved the word "Xin Yi", and then his birth and death date.
Lu Xing held Wei Ying's hand tightly and comforted: "Yes, at least we still remember."
"Okay," Wei Ying nodded, looking at the tombstone with some sadness in her eyes, "Xin Yi left no heirs and has no relatives, so I will be his relative and I will come to see him."
"Do you know? When my husband died, I also thought about committing suicide. I was afraid of the pain, but I didn't commit suicide." Wei Ying's eyes were downcast, as if she was remembering bits and pieces of the past.
"Sometimes, people have little hope in life. By the way," Wei Ying's eyes flickered, as if she thought of something, she turned her head to look at Lu Xing and asked: "Didn't you say you left a surprise for me? What is it?
?”
"Okay," Lu Xing nodded and pulled Wei Ying in another direction. As he walked, he said, "It's a bit far from here. If we walk for a while, you may recognize this road. It's not a surprise, I just hope.
When you leave with me, really don't bring too much sadness with you."
Wei Ying said nothing and let Lu Xing hold her hand. The warmth in his palm made her cheeks blush. She was no longer a little girl, but she was very happy about "cooking plums for an outing". Just like what she said at first, Lu Xing
Give her peace of mind.
The road became more and more rugged, and I suddenly felt that I had entered a mountain forest, where pine, cypress, and bamboo forests were all gathered together. In the inhabited forest, even the types of trees were confused.
There were weeds in front of them, but Lu Xing swept them away with his sword energy and broke the trees on one side, thus creating a road.
"This is..." Wei Ying's eyes flashed slightly. She knew this road. She hadn't been there for two or three years, but she still recognized it because it was unforgettable. No woman could let go of her husband's death on the wedding bed.
"Wait a minute," Wei Ying bent her right palm and grabbed Lu Xing's finger. She stopped and said quickly, "Lu Xing doesn't have to be like this. Since I'm willing to go with you, I'm letting you go."
"Girl, what are you thinking about?" A spring breeze blows into your nostrils, and the shoulders in white clothes are broad, and you can smell the incense when you are close.
Lu Xing was seen holding her waist, and their bodies were close to each other. Wei Yingqiang swallowed her saliva and said timidly: "Young Master shouldn't call me girl. Ying is a woman. In terms of age, she is the same as Young Master."
The big one is already old and yellow."
"I can carry a sedan chair, and the matchmaker is marrying you." Their heads were touching, and Lu Xing spoke the most touching words of love in her ears.
Wei Ying blushed with embarrassment and retracted her left hand into her sleeve. She avoided her eyes and felt very uncomfortable. "If the young master marries a woman, others will laugh at him."
Lu Xing did not answer Wei Ying's words, but half-armed her shoulders and warned: "Listen to what I say next and don't ask any questions."
"You didn't kill your husband. He was a scholar in the realm of a gentleman. How could he die so easily? He was killed by someone."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Ying's pupils shrank, and her fingers made of mutton-fat jade were placed in front of her mouth. She suddenly remembered Lu Xing's previous instructions, bit her lips lightly, and remained silent.
"I have avenged him. The person who killed your husband is dead. Don't worry, they are evil people and they did not kill him wrongly."
Wei Ying nodded obediently, her nose was sore, and tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Now, you and I are going to pay homage to your husband. Then I will take you away. It will be difficult for you to see him again."
After Lu Xing finished speaking, he held Wei Ying's hand tightly again and led her forward slowly through the thorns and obstacles.
After a while, the two came to a tombstone. The tombstone was built very high and faced the sun all day long.
There is a lot of new soil in front of the tomb, and the weeds around it seem to have been trampled down.
The tombstone simply has two big characters "Shan Yang" written on it, and small characters on one side are the date of birth and death.
"You..." Wei Ying hesitated for a while. She had not pronounced these two words for several years, and then said for a long time: "Shan Yang, the young master and I are here to see you today."
"Young master said that he avenged you. I believe him and hope you can live a better life down there."
"Don't say I'm heartless. I've been a widow for six years, first I paid homage to you for three years, and then I didn't see you for three years. You should know how I feel."
"Young master said that you were not killed by me. I feel better. I will never come to see you in the future."
"In the past six years, Ying has been very tired..."
"..." Lu Xing stood silently, looking at Wei Ying who kept nagging, his eyes soft.
"Shan Yang, judging by his name, he should be a very gentle person, so that Ying'er would be willing to keep his mourning for three years. But from now on, I will take Ying'er away." Lu Xing thought to himself, he felt that these words should be spoken to the deceased.
Clearly, no one owes anyone anything.
Wei Ying closed her eyes in mourning for a while, then finally opened her eyes and said to Lu Xing, "Okay, sir, let's go."
"Let's go," Lu Xing wiped his waist with his right hand and wiped off the jade handle stopper of the sword gourd. The ancient temple flew out from it and lay in front of the two of them.
Lu Xing jumped onto the sword ridge of the ancient temple, stretched out his hand to Wei Ying, and said, "Hold my hand, and I will take you down the mountain with the sword."
Wei Ying held Lu Xing's hand tightly and was led to the sword by him, stepping on the sword's spine. She was a little overwhelmed. In panic, Wei Ying stretched out Lu Xing's waist tightly, for fear of falling.
"Hahaha," Lu Xing laughed, turned his wrist, pointed forward, and walked with his sword.
The sword streaked across the sky like a stream of light and landed on the north wall of Jia City.
A total of ten families were willing to follow them back to the north. Feng Liangping took care of them. Each family had a carriage and hired more than ten horsemen.
Lu Xing did not go to take care of them one by one. He came to his carriage. Jin Dafu quickly followed him, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please, let me drive the carriage for you."
There were more than ten carriages in front and behind, and they started off, heading straight to Kua'e Pass.
However, the peace and tranquility of this journey can only be found at this moment. The sun has not yet set. At dusk, the team is walking on the plain when they suddenly feel the terrain shaking and the earth and rocks shaking.
There is a touch of red in the plain to the east, and the billowing smoke and dust are like overturned mountains.
"That's the red-armored cavalry, wuwuwu..." someone from the rear of the convoy exclaimed, and before he spoke, he choked, "Could it be that - could it be that the red armor has returned? It's over...
"Of course they are afraid of Hongjia. Hongjia destroyed Zhaonanxuan and they could only watch their loved ones die. Even now they know that Lu Xing is holding them back, but the fear in their hearts will not diminish at all.
Wei Ying lifted the curtain of the car window and looked eastward. Her palms tightened. She would be lying if she said she was not panicked.
She frowned and said, "Young Master, please be careful, Prince Ran is a hundred times more vicious than his son."
"It's okay," Lu Xing patted Wei Ying's back and said to Jin Dafu who was driving the car in the front room: "Dafu, stop the car, we will meet this red-armored cavalry."
The carriage stopped, and Jin Dafu felt helpless. The carriage carrying people and things must not be able to outrun the cavalry.
Lu Xing told Wei Ying to stay on the carriage and get off alone. He came to the front of the crowd and stood like a javelin, and the panicked discussion stopped.
The cavalry approached, and the red-armored cavalry surrounded the carriage, and then Qi Ran walked out on horseback.
Qi Ran looked down at Lu Xing and said with a smile: "Lu Xing, I really didn't expect that you could come back and take the initiative to step out of the protection without even taking Chu Chu with you. Why do you have it?"
"Still you think my sword can't kill you?" Qi Ran pulled out his sword and pointed it at Lu Xing.
"I heard that your swordsmanship is good. I'll give you face. If you die by my sword, I won't kill these people behind you."
The people beside the carriage were all trembling and did not dare to speak. They looked at the red armor around them and looked timid.
Lu Xing raised his head and chuckled: "Why should I compete with you today? If you want to kill me in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Your Majesty will not agree to it."
"Ha, haha..." Qi Ran seemed to have heard a huge joke. The horses' hooves trampled on the spot, and the sound of iron and stone was menacing. "Can the Great Zhou tolerate you in the North? Are you just daydreaming? The Emperor must not take back control of the North as soon as possible. You
It was a happy event for him to die with just one sword!"
"Hey, so," Lu Xing shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Your son is much smarter than you, or Bai Di is your good friend. I remember that he is a good chess player."
"What do you mean?" Qi Ran said angrily: "You are just a dying person, why are you playing riddles with me!"
Lu Xing smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know about the battle between Qi Mu and me. I can die. You lead your troops to the North to ambush me outside Kua'e Pass. The North has already left Youzhou. Your Majesty has reason not to stop him. But.
, I am entering the customs in a dignified manner at this moment, in compliance with His Majesty’s order.”
"In other words, even His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of the Northern Metro Riders. I can die, but I cannot arouse the anger of the people in the Northern Territory."
"So, today, you can't kill me. Definitely!" Lu Xing said resolutely. Facing the edge of the sword, his expression was calm and unafraid.
"You can try it. What happened after the sword fell?"
"You!" Qi Ran suddenly realized something and opened his eyes. Sure enough, he could see many soldiers gathered in the direction of Jiacheng. Their eyes were green. And there was a murderous aura on the city wall. It was Zhang Jiugong who was drawing his bow to shoot.
"Haha," Lu Xing Anran laughed and explained, "You still have eight thousand red armors. Yes, the blood evil formation is indeed powerful. Eight thousand red armors can defeat half a Confucian saint."
"However, you must not forget that a half-class Confucian sage is stationed in Kyoto. If your Majesty wants to capture Dongran again, he will not retreat again."
"Eight thousand red armor, after the first battle, they are nothing more than withered bones..."
Qi Ran jerked the horse's reins in surprise, and the horse raised its front legs and leaped high into the sky, facing the setting sun.
"Hey," he put his long sword into its sheath, reined in his horse and left, leaving only one word behind.
"You, Lu Xing, are great. My son died unjustly. You are the hero of the world, and you are the leader."
"My son is unjust. I became someone else's chess piece and bumped into you." Qi Ran looked back sadly, his back was haggard, his horse's butt was lumpy, and he left facing the sunset.
Eight thousand red-armored cavalry retreated like a tide. The red-armored troops had strict orders. The generals opened their eyes and gritted their teeth, but they finally took a breath.
Lu Xing raised his right hand high, shook it from side to side, and shouted: "King Ran, why should you be depressed? Qi Mu has already gambled with his own life. It is difficult to find anyone with such determination in the world."
From the direction of Jiacheng, groups of green-armored cavalry were rushing towards this place. Zhang Jiugong took the lead and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. Zhang Jiugong is leading eight thousand green-armored cavalry to protect them."
