Under the fierce offensive of Xiang Ju'an's army, the Guyi army in the main city was quickly defeated. Some people took advantage of the chaos to evacuate, while others were unable to escape and were still trying desperately to resist and fight against the trapped beasts.
Jiang Yingnian held the bow tightly, his knuckles turning white. He looked at the departing brother and sister Qu Mo Quyin, took a deep breath, and said softly: "I'm sorry."
He didn't hesitate anymore. This time he raised the long bow in his hand, nocked the arrow and pulled the string, aimed and released the arrow, all in one movement.
The arrow from the string, carrying his firm hatred, stabbed steadily into Qu Mo's back.
Guan Jiyu witnessed with his own eyes how the arrow flew out of Jiang Yingnian's hand. It rushed towards Qumo at high speed, and finally shot him through the heart from behind.
She didn't dare to blink during the whole process.
All the sounds in her ears seemed to disappear. Guan Jiyu also saw Qu Yin who was running away with her brother. Because of this unexpected arrow, she stopped and looked at her brother with blood in his mouth, and then slowly turned her head.
, looking at Jiang Yingnian in disbelief.
Jiang Yingnian held the bow high in his hand before he even had time to put it down, but his eyes were so firm, fearless, and without a trace of shame.
Guan Jiyu stared at all this blankly.
A very strange thought flashed through her mind: Qu Yin must be in despair at this moment, right? Qu Yin was clearly trying to pull his brother with all his strength, trying to escape from this hell-like place, and she was clearly looking at Jiang Ying
Nian has put down the weapons in her hands, but why did it give her hope and bring her despair?
Guan Jiyu felt a chill on her face, and she stretched out her hand to wipe it.
Those were tears. The last time she shed tears was when the eldest son had just passed away.
This world can be cruel sometimes, just like when she watched Jiang Qing fall to the ground, she didn't even have a chance to help him.
Who is worse off? Qu Yin or herself?
Guan Jiyu didn't know. She thought she would be ecstatic at the moment when Qu Mo, the king of Guyi, died. She would want to shout to everyone: Revenge is finally done! But when she really saw Qu Yin's confused expression
At this time, she suddenly realized that this world is really cruel.
Guan Jiyu saw Jiang Yingnian slowly put down the bow in his hand. He intended to kill Qu Mo and had no intention of attacking Qu Yin again.
"Why?" Qu Yin seemed to have not recovered yet. She squatted down and covered Qu Mo's wound tightly with both hands, as if this would prevent him from bleeding.
She covered it and then suddenly realized the location of her brother's wound, which was in his heart.
Qu Mo moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out and he died.
"Why? Jiang Yingnian!" Qu Yin cried loudly. She was like a child who had been deceived, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. She was still holding Qu Mo's hand tightly.
Even though it was full of blood, she refused to let go.
Guan Jiyu turned his head away and no longer looked at the scene in front of him.
For a long time, Jiang Yingnian just said softly: "I never wanted the Yanjiang Corridor. That is a matter in the army. From the beginning to the end, I just want my eldest brother back."
He lowered his eyes, but still said frankly: "Qu Yin, I won't kill you, but I can't just let your brother go. His life can only be left here."
Xiang Ju'an led the soldiers all the way into the center of the main city. Originally, this city carried all of Guyi's troops. At this moment, except for the dead Guyi soldiers lying on the ground, no one of them could be seen.
Seeing that Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian had already killed Commander Guyi, Xiang Ju'an got off his horse, walked to the side of Qu Mo who had breathed his last, and fell silent.
There was no joy on his expression, he just let out a long sigh of relief.
Some people have a wonderful life, and some people have a dull life.
Xiang Juan has always believed that he is the latter.
When he was just a young man, he came to guard the Beizhong border gate for more than ten years. All his young years were spent in the confrontation between the border gate and the Guyi country, witnessing two generations of the Guyi country.
The leadership changed, and two generations of kings ruled the Xuli country.
Everything has changed over the years, but his situation has not changed. As the saying goes, "One emperor, one courtier", but Xiang Ju'an seems to have no choice but to stay here forever. He is still who he is, and his body is imprisoned here.
Imprisoning his soul.
Guyiluo is still Guyi's army. They harassed without restraint. Xiang Ju'an thought about it many times, so he simply took the risk and attacked Guyi country directly! However, due to the obstruction of the powerful forces in Xuli's court, he could only
Swallow this breath alive.
Xiang Ju'an himself couldn't believe that this moment had arrived so quickly. He even walked to Qu Mo's body and checked it carefully.
After confirming that Qu Mo was dead, Xiang Ju'an made no secret of the joy in his heart and raised the corners of his lips wantonly.
This is the era that belongs to him, Xiang Juan!
When everyone returned to Zeyun Pass, Chen Zhang had prepared a celebration banquet early and was waiting at the door. After receiving them, Chen Zhang couldn't help but be ecstatic!
"General, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I look forward to your return!"
As Xiang Ju'an walked inside, he smiled boldly and said: "I will reward the three armies tonight. You will not come back until you are drunk!"
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian were sitting next to each other. While everyone was noisy and drinking, she leaned towards him and said, "The general said that he will go back to the pilgrimage tomorrow, and he asked us to go too."
Jiang Yingnian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then naturally said: "Just go."
He Lanlan heard their conversation from the side and couldn't help but interjected: "Going to meet the saint is to accept the reward. If you want the reward, be more active." He stretched out lazily and said: "Anyway, gold, silver and jade are among the best.
I don’t want that kind of thing, but if you give me some beauties or something, I’ll gladly accept it.”
"I have grown up so long, except for visiting the capital during competitions, I have never had a serious time in the capital!" Guan Jiyu held his chin, tapping the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes full of longing for the capital.
Zhe Shu, who was sitting behind him, also yelled: "That's right. In the past, when I went to the capital, I had the eldest son following me. How dare I run around and look around."
Jiang Yingnian didn't take it seriously and said: "I have been studying in the capital for several years, but I don't think there is anything interesting. It is not as good as Nanqin, and the food is not as delicious as Nanqin!"
He Lanlan is a native of the capital. He does not judge whether the capital is good or bad. He just said leisurely: "If you want to spend a few days in the capital, you can stay in my Helan Mansion for a few days. But at home,
Since the old man is here, I advise you not to go. I am planning to buy a house on the outskirts of Beijing so that I can hide in peace and quiet."
"A house in the capital must not be cheap, right?! How much money will it cost..." Guan Jiyu couldn't help but marveled when he heard that He Lanlan was going to buy a new house.
She remembered a person whose house was also in the capital.
He said that it was because of his military exploits and was rewarded to him by Emperor Shu.
Jiang Yingnian saw the longing look on her face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you ask? Do you also want to buy a house in the capital?"
"You care about me?!" Guan Jiyu quickly turned away his expression and glared at him warily, saying: "You can't care about me now. I can buy a house wherever I want. It has nothing to do with you."
"I don't want to care about you, I just want to remind you in a friendly way -" Jiang Yingnian threw a peanut into his mouth and said: "Is it possible for you to buy a house in the capital if you want? You might as well ask
Brother Helan, he knows the land prices in the capital best."
When He Lanlan heard this, he became interested.
"Oh? Guan Xiaomei plans to buy a house in the capital, so why not come together? It would be nice for us to be neighbors."
Guan Jiyu really didn't have much money in his pocket, and he didn't have the confidence to continue this topic with He Lanlan at this moment, so he had to deny it: "No, it was just a casual question."
Jiang Yingnian saw her embarrassment, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious, and he joked: "Oh, if you really want to buy it, then buy it. What you want, our Jiang family can still say that we can't afford it."
?”
He leaned close to Guan Jiyu's ear and whispered: "Third Young Master, it's best to make money. Why don't you follow me and do odd jobs for me when you have nothing to do? Third Young Master, I guarantee that you can easily buy a luxury house in the capital!"
Guan Jiyu glanced at him and said coldly: "No need!"
The next day Xiang Ju'an's team rushed to the capital in a mighty manner. When passing by the Beizhong concentration camp, Guan Jiyu asked and found out that Xiang Lincheng was no longer here.
He has returned to his residence in the capital.
Guan Jiyu felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, and he was in a good mood all the way back.
Except for Xiang Ju'an who wore court uniforms, those who returned to the court to receive awards were all newcomers to the military camp. Guan Jiyu wore the green competition uniform from his time in Qingzi Camp.
This time, Xiang Juan mainly reported on the situation at the border and the details of the war. Jiang Yingnian listened absentmindedly, and He Lanlan also looked unaccustomed to such an occasion. Guan Jiyu accidentally caught a glimpse of the two of them.
, couldn't help but chuckle. It wasn't until she saw Emperor Shu's eyes falling on her that she quickly put away her smile.
"Guan Xianfeng, you are really a woman. I have long heard that the training camp of Nanqin Family is full of masters. When I saw it today, I was really impressed." Emperor Shu was very interested and kept praising him: "
And Jiang Xianfeng, with such courage at such a young age, the two of you have a bright future!"
Helanlan's praises were nothing more than those words. Helanlan just wanted to yawn when he heard them. He didn't even bother to take a look at the silver and jade as a reward.
Guan Jiyu looked at He Lanlan's unmoved appearance by money, and thought to himself: He really is a son of a rich family, but this can't impress him? It's better to give him a few beauties as he said.
He might be happy!
After finally waiting until the palace banquet was over, He Lanlan couldn't wait to sneak away. He even threw his share of the reward to Guan Jiyu and said kindly: "Guan Xiaomei, this is my contribution to your purchase of a house.
We’ll talk about it later, I still have to take a step forward!”
Guan Jiyu continued stupidly, but before he realized it, he had already disappeared.
Jiang Yingnian sneered and said: "During this period in the army, he was really depressed!" He then said to Guan Jiyu: "What about you, where do you plan to go? I know you are free now, I
I have no right to control you anymore."
There was only sincerity in his eyes, and with a bit of rare seriousness, he said: "It's just that the New Year is approaching, why don't we go home together and take a look?"
