Chapter 1: The Imperial Capital Falls and Walks Together
In the 26th year of the Chu Dynasty, heavy snow closed the city, foreign invaders invaded, and the imperial capital fell.
A fire burned all night, and the magnificent palace, beauties and treasures were instantly reduced to a pile of dust.
The lively imperial capital suddenly turned into a besieged city where everyone was in danger, unable to get out or enter.
However, Xiangyi Building, which was originally favored by dignitaries, is still crowded with people. Every day, different women can be seen transforming into souls and being carried out of it.
The people in this besieged city look up at the ancient building that still looks like a lantern at the beginning of the day, imagining whether they can live like them without starving or panic, but they are familiar with the people in this building, but they are looking forward to it every day.
Leave as soon as possible. Even if you are alive, the emperor who looked out of the window at the past has changed, and the so-called guests are beasts that choose people to eat. Only then do you realize that living is also a kind of pain.
On the carved pear wood table, there were scattered bronze mirrors and exquisite hairpins. A woman in plain clothes opened the only window that could let in the sunlight, but was dazzled by the sunlight for a moment and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover it.
Keep your eyes open.
After the smell of alcohol in the room dissipated, the woman let out a long breath. Even though her beautiful eyebrows relaxed, she still couldn't hide the pain that had crept up unknowingly. Her slender and white fingers gently touched and clenched.
The smooth surface of the knife in her hand reflected the woman's tearful eyes. Her hands trembled slightly, as if due to some unknown emotion, the knife was not dropped, but was placed on the table.
"Sister Wanqing, Sister Qin Yi...Sister Qin Yi is about to die..." The panicked shouts followed a woman who suddenly opened the wooden door, bringing with it a gust of cold wind. The woman hurriedly put the knife back into her sleeve and raised her eyes to look at the person.
.
Before Wan Qing could ask, the woman in a goose-yellow cotton coat gasped and pulled Wan Qing over and ran out.
The white scenery passed by quickly, and before arriving at the bamboo house, one could hear the uncontrollable coughing sound. The sound was heartbreaking and the sound was crying blood.
The goose-yellow woman pushed open the bamboo door as if she were knocking open the door of Wan Qing's room, and rushed to the bed with Wan Qing.
When the two of them stood still, they looked up and saw the beautiful woman on the couch who was pale and coughing blood. Wan Qing took a slight breath and shouted to the yellow-haired woman in a stern voice, "Su Ling, go and close the door!"
Qin Yi and Wan Qing's eyes finally met, and both of them had sad expressions on their faces.
"I didn't expect that after Lin Yun left, I would leave with her so soon..." Qin Yi weakly pulled Wan Qing's cold hand, with a dark look between his brows that would not go away.
This Xiangyi Building was originally supported by Lin Yun, but he suddenly contracted a serious illness a few days ago and passed away before Su Ling could treat him. So the heavy burden fell on Qin Yi, and now he was weak
Qin Yi could not hold on any longer. The Xiangyi Building finally came to an end.
Wan Qing's tears finally burst out uncontrollably, and she slowly knelt beside the woman.
Qin Yi patted Wan Qing's hand as if to comfort her, but her eyes gradually dimmed, "Don't cry."
Wan Qing's silent tears finally affected Su Ling, and Su Ling, who had never been able to restrain her emotions, burst into tears, attracting Qin Yi's attention.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Qin Yi raised his finger with great difficulty and pointed at the yellow-haired woman who was already crying into tears, and whispered to Wan Qing, "Send Ling'er... away..."
Due to lack of energy, Qin Yi's words were extremely difficult to decipher. Wan Qing carefully identified what Qin Yi wanted to say. After understanding, she immediately nodded vigorously, held back the tears that were about to come out, and whispered to the woman behind her.
, let her go out of the house and wait.
Seeing Su Ling go out, Wan Qing said a few words to Qin Yi, walked out quickly with Qin Yi's eyes wide open, and closed the bamboo door.
Su Ling was still crying silently, while Wan Qing gritted his teeth and pulled her to run.
Out of trust in Wan Qing, Su Ling did not resist, but allowed Wan Qing to lead her and run forward.
The two of them walked around the winding corridors and ran towards the unknown location of the tunnel. Wan Qing gasped and opened the mechanism and quickly pushed Su Ling into the dark passage, "Remember! No matter what you hear, don't look back.
!Run! The further you run, the better!” After the instruction, without waiting for Su Ling to reply, she quickly closed the door and lifted the stone to destroy the mechanism.
Ignoring Su Ling's hoarse yelling and crying behind her, Wan Qing suppressed her sobs and hurried back to the bamboo house. She was even in such a hurry that she accidentally fell and knocked over the flowers on the side.
pot.
The pale pink petals were mixed with soil and scattered on the ground. They were messy but exuded a cruel beauty, just like the almost empty Xiangyi Building.
Without enough time to think about it, Wan Qing quickly got up and rushed away.
At this time, Qin Yi had regained his consciousness. Although he could barely stop coughing up blood, his entire complexion had turned ashen.
Wan Qing held Qin Yi's cold hands tremblingly, and the tears she held back finally found an outlet, "Sister Qin Yi, if there is an afterlife, Wan Qing will do her best to save Xiangyi Lou and cure your strange disease. But now, Wan Qing
, I can only fight with them to the death. I can buy some time for Su Ling. What's more, you and I are the only sisters left. You have the right to treat me as a younger sister, and I have the right to be a younger sister if I act willfully in the end.
Accompanying my sister for the last time."
"Why bother to come back! Why bother!" Qin Yi thought about what he said before sending Su Ling away, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "You are such a smart person, why can't you think about it!"
Wan Qing didn't say a word, but used her right hand to calm Qin Yi's breath. Wan Qing fumbled and took out the prepared knife out of Qin Yi's sight.
As if even God was not willing to grant Wan Qing's wish, a group of tough men in foreign costumes broke open the door that Wan Qing had locked. Two of them dragged Qin Yi out with brute force, and the leader
The other man suddenly picked up Wan Qing and threw her onto the couch.
In a panic, Wan Qing stabbed the knife in his hand without hesitation. When the big man found out, he slapped him away with a powerful slap.
An extremely bloodthirsty smile appeared on the scarred face, and he clamped Wan Qing's chin with a ferocious smile, forcing her to look outside the door.
Several big men spoke a language that Wan Qing did not understand, and their eyes suddenly exuded a smile similar to that of the big man. After a brief silence, under the nod of the man on top of him, he drew out the sharp long knife.
The long knife dazzled Wan Qing's eyes in the sunlight, making it impossible for her to see clearly, but she still tried hard to make various sounds to stop them, but she still watched helplessly as the long knife pierced Qin Yi's chest.
Bringing out a touch of coquettish blood color.
She watched the person who had cared for her in every possible way turn into nothingness in a world of ice and snow. There was no tomb, and no one would remember her except herself...and she was afraid that she would soon follow her.
