Assassin 3 Wind and Live

Chapter 25 The Dead

Murong Li saw the strangest scene in his life, and he recognized that the place he was in was still Yuzhao Mountain, which was the place where the two armies fought.However, there is no Yaoguang army, no Zhongkunyi and Tianshu's old troops, no Zidui and Xingshi, and no reinforcements from Xunsu.But this place is not empty, there are many "people" around, they seem to be dying of serious illness, their faces are pale, their eye sockets are black, the hatred in their eyes is almost dripping blood, wandering in the mountains like walking corpses.Most of them were dressed in white robes, a style Murong Li had never seen before, with intricate totems embroidered on the necklines, several of them had totems that he had seen on Feng Xi's outer robes.Murong Li has never seen the legendary ghosts and gods with his own eyes, but he is sure that he has seen them, and these are the ones in front of him.Murong Li was even sure that they were the alchemists mentioned by Feng Hui who died in vain hundreds of years ago.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Murong Li's shoulder and turned him around.

"General Qi?" Murong Li was very surprised, the person in front of him was actually Qi Zhikan, but at this time Qi Zhikan was no longer the stiff and sluggish walking corpse before.

"Murong..." Qi Zhikan paused, then smiled heartily, "Should I call you Lord Murong now?"

"General Qi... sorry, I..."

"It's okay." Qi Zhikan bowed his hands and said, "I want to thank you, it's better to be a wandering ghost than to be trapped in that decayed body and be driven by others."

"What does General Qi mean? After your... body was destroyed by me, why didn't you die?"

Qi Zhikan's face became serious, and he replied: "There is something wrong with these swords. The people in front of you are all people who died in vain because of these swords. After the corpses were destroyed by Xing Ming, they got freedom just like me, but... I Like them, I can only stay here, I don't know how to die..."

"General Qi doesn't know the truth about the legend of Liuren?"

"Now I know, it seems to be related to my ancestors, but what my father passed on to me is nothing but sword casting." Qi Zhikan looked at Murong Li and said: "Master Murong, most of Zhongyuan must have been in your pocket now The thing in the middle, if you want to be your country lord in peace and stability, you must try to get rid of these grievances, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

"Have you... seen Zhi Ming?" Murong Li suddenly asked.

"The Lord of Heavenly Power? He's dead too?" Qi Zhikan's eyes on Murong Li suddenly changed.

Murong Li didn't care about it, and replied: "Yes, he is wearing black clothes, and there is a Xuanwu totem on his outer robe."

Qi Zhikan thought for a while, looked around, and shook his head.

"Then have you ever met Gongsun?" Murong Li asked.

Qi Zhikan suddenly looked behind Murong Li and said, "It seems that you should go back..."

Murong Li turned his head following Qi Zhikan's gaze, and suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him was Fang Ye with a surprised face.

"Your Majesty! You... are awake?" Fang Ye's face was full of disbelief.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"Just a moment..."

Murong Li raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, he was surprised that the blood was still not dry.Suddenly, Murong Li's face changed, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he immediately asked Fang Ye to help him to Zhi Ming's side.

Zidui had disappeared, and Tuliu Zhiming was lying alone on the cold ground.

Murong Li rushed to Zhi Ming's side, carefully pulled out Xing Ming and put it aside, leaned over and put his ear against his chest.At this moment, Murong Li's mind was full of thoughts: Xingming is a magic weapon with spirituality, it will never accidentally hurt innocent people, and it is very protective of the master, it will never hurt the master.Murong Li doesn't know who told him this, but at this moment he is convinced of it, he believes that Zhi Ming is not dead, and Qi Zhikan also said that he has never seen Zhi Ming's soul, right?

Xiao Ran came to Murong Li's side and reported: "Your Majesty, General Wu learned that the Lord Zhiming was dead, so he sent people to bring back the body of the Lord, and brought the rest of the army back to the Tianquan King City. Our Everyone was sent back..."

"Tell General Wu that the battle is urgent, and there is fear of injury. The remains of the Emperor Zhiming..." Murong Li's voice was choked, he took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down, and continued: "This king will arrange it properly. The king will personally send him home."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to express my condolences." Seeing Murong Li's expression on Xiao Ran's face, Xiao Ran was very worried, any words of comfort at this moment were useless.He had no choice but to take his orders and go. At this time, Tianquan must not let Tianquan bear his grudge against Zhiming, who died at the hands of the king. If Tianquan rebelled, Yaoguang would die.

There was constant sound of weapons clashing around, and Murong Li couldn't hear the slightest heartbeat.Could he be wrong?Xing Ming hurt his master?

The blood on Murong Li's face receded layer by layer, he couldn't believe that he killed Zhi Ming with his own hands?

"Zhiming?" He pushed Zhiming, but he didn't get any response: "No, no..."

Murong Li caught Zhi Ming's pulse with a trembling hand, and pressed his ear against Zhi Ming's chest again.

Long time, no pulse... no heartbeat...

"Your Majesty..." Fang Ye at the side swung his sword back a few miscellaneous soldiers and rushed forward, but he couldn't bear to look directly at Murong Li's face.

"Fang Ye, drive those people away, it's too noisy, I can't hear..."

No one noticed that Zidui approached quietly when the crowd was fighting, and while Fang Ye had no time to fight with others, he shot an arrow at Murong Li. Murong Li vaguely heard the sound of piercing through the air, but he was empty-handed and unable to defend, let alone avoid it. Let alone whether he can run faster than the flying arrow, if he escapes, the arrow will land on Zhi Ming.Before he could think too much, the arrow pierced Murong Li's left shoulder, and the wound that had just healed was pierced again, the pain pierced his heart, and the bright red blood gradually splashed on Zhi Ming's face, making him even paler.

"Your Majesty, you take... the Lord Zhiming and retreat to the back first, the sword has no eyes, what if you get hurt?"

Murong Li slumped on the ground, carefully wiped off the blood on Zhi Ming's face, buried his head in his arms, grabbed his lapel tightly, and said with a sad smile: "Yes, swords have no eyes...but I want to rely on one Jian...to bet on his life...Zhi Ming..."

After an unknown amount of time, a hand touched the back of his head and patted his head lightly.

Murong Li's body trembled, and he raised his head in shock, Zhi Ming's face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were half-opened, the eyeballs rolled around and landed on Murong Li's body, his lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Zhi Ming?" Murong Li couldn't believe that Zhi Ming really came back to life, and burst into tears instantly.However, Zhi Ming didn't wake up for a long time, Murong Li only felt his hands sink, and he passed out again, as if the brief waking up was just to tell him that he was safe and sound.

Murong Li suppressed his surprise and doubts, pulled Zhi Ming's skirt, wiped away the blood on his chest with his sleeve, revealing his intact skin, the sword wound has completely disappeared!No scars left.

The sharp whistle sounded across the battlefield, and the sound of horseshoes approached from far to near, stopping beside Murong Li.

One person got off the horse, and it turned out to be Geng Chen who hadn't seen him for many years. He helped a man in white from the horse. The man wore a fence that reached the ground on his head. When he landed, his body shook, and he rested on Geng Chen's shoulder for a while. Yes, step up to Murong Li's side.

"Geng Chen?" Murong Li was a little surprised, his letter hadn't been sent out, why did Geng Chen bring people here?

"Your Majesty." Geng Chen bowed to Murong Li, didn't say much, and stepped aside.

The man in white nodded to Murong Li across the fence, and walked over him towards Tianshu Army.Murong Li was worried about his safety, so he asked Geng Chen to bring a few people with him for protection.

Zhong Kunyi in the distance also noticed the person who broke in suddenly. This person seemed incompatible with the battlefield full of corpses, and he seemed to be in poor health.A gust of wind blew by, and the man stopped, clutched his chest and coughed for a while, slowed down, and continued to walk forward.Zhong Kunyi watched the man in white come to General Wu, took out something from his arms and handed it to General Wu, and then General Wu knelt at the man's feet as if struck by lightning.Zhong Kunyi seemed to have expected something, and immediately rushed towards the man, but the fierce fighting between the two armies on his side made it difficult for him to move an inch.

The man in white seemed to have noticed Zhong Kunyi, he handed the object in his hand to General Wu, and returned to Murong Li.Geng Chen bid farewell to Murong Li, and took his men on the horse and left Jue Chen.

The horn of truce suddenly sounded in the Tianshu army, and the Tianshu army who was fighting with Yaoguang Xunsu didn't know why, but they still obeyed the military order and retreated.Only then did Zhong Kunyi find a way to reach General Wu, but the man had disappeared. He pulled up General Wu who was kneeling on the ground, and found that his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

"General Wu! Where is that man?"

"Sir..." General Wu wiped his face with his hand, and handed the object in his hand to Zhong Kunyi. It was a round jade pendant made of black jade the size of a thumb.

Zhong Kunyi tremblingly took it from General Wu's hand and stroked it lightly. He had seen this thing before, with a dragon totem carved on one side and King Mengzhang's private seal on the other side. He was still alive...
