Northern River Sword

Days of hunting finally came to fruition.There were nearly a hundred people crowded in the dark at the foot of the mountain, and they formed a big circle, holding torches in their hands and shouting loudly, celebrating that the villain had finally been caught.

Qin Xiao was captured by Qiu Guangcheng. He was wounded by a sword, and the wound on his chest was still bleeding.Qiu Guangcheng pressed his neck, trying to make him kneel down.He has a very hard temper, and would rather die than kneel.

Xie Beihan yelled: "The brat dares to be a hero at this time! Uncle Qiu is about to break his leg to see if he can stand up!"

Everyone then shouted: "That's right! Break his legs and make him kneel down!"

Qiu Yuhua pushed aside the crowd and squeezed to the front. When he saw Qin Xiao's appearance, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart suddenly.Qin Xiao raised her head and saw Qiu Yuhua, she seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Someone came forward with a three-foot-long wooden stick, Qiu Guangcheng took it in his hand, and beat Qin Xiao hard on the back.Qiu Yuhua watched helplessly as Qin Xiao was beaten and staggered, with a mouthful of blood spitting out of his mouth, yet he managed to stand still.Her tears fell suddenly, Qiu Guangcheng's second stick fell, Qiu Yuhua couldn't care about anything, and said loudly: "Stop!...Father, please stop!"

She wanted to go forward, but Xue Hongliu grabbed her and reminded: "Don't you suspect that he lied to you? Why do you want to help him fight against your father?"

Qiu Yuhua could no longer hear other people's words. Now that Qin Xiao was standing in front of her, she felt that nothing was important.She couldn't see him suffer, her heart ached so badly, her tears flowed like rain.

Everyone was looking at her, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.Qin Xiao knew that she would die, and she didn't want to hurt her, so she said loudly: "Little girl surnamed Qiu, I don't need you to take pity on me, go away quickly."

He said to Qiu Guangcheng: "If you want to kill or cut, give me a good time, don't dawdle, do it quickly."

Qiu Guangcheng said coldly, "Are you Meng Shuhe's son?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "So what? I only regret that I didn't kill you to avenge my father. It's a pity, a pity! The blood feud between me and you Qiying League will not end even if I die. I made your knife today Ghosts, ghosts will come to take revenge—Qiu Guangcheng, the bad things you guys did back then must still be fresh in your memory? Don’t you have nightmares all these years?”

Qiu Guangcheng's expression froze, as if he was apprehensive, and then he laughed loudly and said, "There is nothing left after death. I will cut the grass and roots, and it will be over once and for all."

He grabbed Qin Xiao's hair, told him to show his neck, held his sword against his throat, and said loudly: "This villain Qin Xiao killed my fourth brother Xie Biao and sixth brother Hu Tianxing, and dug up my seventh sister Liu Lingyin. He committed a heinous crime. Today, the heavens have eyes and told everyone to catch this villain together, and we will kill him to avenge our brothers!"

The crowd waved torches, the crowd was furious, and shouted: "Good! Good! Good!"

Qiu Guangcheng said: "Today in front of all the heroes, as long as you kowtow to the soul of the person you killed to make amends and sincerely repent, we will give you a good time. Otherwise, everyone will surround you and kill you one by one. It doesn't taste good."

Qin Xiao seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed loudly: "I, Qin Xiao, have never killed anyone or missed a thing in my life. If you want me to kowtow and confess to you, go dreaming!"

Seeing that he was still so rampant when he was about to die, everyone was very angry, and wanted to go forward to punch him or cut him, and they all shouted: "Kill him, kill him!"

Qiu Guangcheng said: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel."

He held the long sword in his hand and was about to goug his face, Qiu Yuhua shouted loudly: "Stop, don't hurt him!"

Everyone immediately looked at Qiu Yuhua, feeling puzzled.Qiu Guangcheng's face darkened, feeling that she had completely disgraced the Qiu family in front of others, and said sharply: "What do you know at such a young age! If you dare to talk nonsense, just wait for the family law to serve you!"

Qiu Yuhua fell to her knees with a plop, tears streaming down her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, please, don't kill him. Daughter, please!" She knew that Qin Xiao was the enemy of the Qiying League, and she was in full view of everyone. It's very wrong to speak for him, and it greatly embarrasses the Qiu family.She knew she was wrong, so she could only beg bitterly.

Everyone was in an uproar, and Xie Beihan said loudly: "Well, I'll just say that this little girl betrayed the Qiyingmeng. She wanted to elope with this kid surnamed Qin, so how could she bear to see him die in front of her. Uncle Qiu, people It is said that righteousness destroys relatives, and the good daughter you raised is openly going against the righteous people in the world, you can't just sit idly by!"

Everyone was talking about it, and those who were not on good terms with the Qiu family took the opportunity to watch a good show, but to see how Qiu Guangcheng got down to this level today.There were also people who thought that Qiu Yuhua was young and ignorant, and being deceived was not unforgivable, all he had to do was give him a heavy beating.But no matter what, the Qiu family must disown Qin Xiao. If he is charged with such a crime of colluding with the devil, he will not be able to hold his head up when he walks in the rivers and lakes.

The discussion among the crowd gradually subsided, and everyone looked at Qiu Guangcheng, waiting for him to make a statement.

Qiu Guangcheng was extremely angry, strode forward, slapped Qiu Yuhua on the face, and said angrily: "You ignorant little bastard, don't get out of here, don't embarrass yourself here!"

Qiu Yuhua's fair face immediately swelled up. She was held in the palm of her father's hand since she was a child, and she had never been beaten like this before, so she was stunned for a moment.Qiu Guangcheng hit his daughter, his hands were still hot, and he already felt a little regretful.

The father and daughter looked at each other for a moment, and Qiu Yuhua said in a low voice, "I won't go back. If I leave, he will die."

Qiu Guangcheng was so angry that his arms were shaking, he said, "What did you say?"

Qiu Yuhua wiped away tears, and said, "Father, please spare his life. If you must kill someone, Xie Sishu and Hu Liushu's lives, I will take his place."

Qin Xiao heard it all, and struggled: "Nonsense, what does it have to do with you when I kill people, why do you take my life for me!"

Xie Beihan laughed loudly and said: "What a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate! Uncle Qiu, it seems that your daughter has a very close friendship with him, and she is willing to pay for his life! The two of them have been facing each other in the cave for several days , Lonely men and widows, fighting firewood, must have done things... tsk tsk tsk, it is really immoral and shameless! Sigh, I advise you to fulfill this pair of lovers. By this time next year, you may even have a grandson. "

Xue Hongliao felt that this person was full of obscenities, which were unbearable to the ear, and said sharply: "Young Master Xie, the matter has not been clarified yet, so you should say less!"

After hearing Xie Beihan's words, everyone was skeptical, at least they believed in the collusion between Qiu Yuhua and Qin Xiao.

Qiu Guangcheng thought that the governor must let his daughter draw a clear line with Qin Xiao, otherwise her innocent reputation would be ruined, and even the Qiu family would lose face in the arena.

He said loudly: "Yuhua, you are young and ignorant, and you have been bewitched by the rhetoric of this evil cult demon, and what you do is not from your heart, and everyone can understand it. Today, as long as you kill him with your own hands under the witness of everyone , we will give you a chance to reform yourself."

Everyone shouted loudly: "Kill him, kill him!"

Qiu Yuhua raised his head and looked around.The torches rose and fell, and the high emotions of the crowd were like flames, trying to burn the enemy.Qiu Yuhua's eyes were full of people, and everyone had a hideous and distorted expression on their faces.The flames were floating, and the moonlight was misty, she shuddered, knowing that the matter had come to this point, there must be an end.

She stood up slowly, as if making up her mind.Seeing her sleepwalking, Qiu Guangcheng asked again: "Do you agree?"

Qiu Yuhua glanced at Qin Xiao, who was also looking at her.He has already taken life and death lightly, with an indifferent smile on his face, and there is no one else in his eyes, only her figure is reflected.He has always been conceited and takes nothing seriously, but now his eyes are full of nostalgia for her.Qiu Yuhua took the long sword and said softly: "Okay, then I will kill him with my own hands."

Everyone quieted down and opened their eyes excitedly, waiting for Qin Xiao's blood to splash on the spot.

Qiu Yuhua stepped forward, raised his long sword, and trembled uncontrollably.Qin Xiao said: "Do it."

Qiu Yuhua said: "Okay!" As she spoke, the long sword in her hand slashed down, and suddenly cut off the tendons that bound Qin Xiao's hands and feet.She cast a strike of thunder in the Zidian sword technique, drawing an arc with the sword, and the murderous aura overflowed everywhere, forcing the crowd back a few steps abruptly.

Everyone didn't expect that she was born with a soft and weak appearance, but she dared to do such a rebellious act openly, and the crowd was in an uproar.Qiu Yuhua stood in front of Qin Xiao, with his long sword across his neck, and said in a low voice, "Take me and leave!"

Qin Xiao didn't expect that there would be such a change in the twists and turns, and said in surprise, "You...why are you doing this!"

Qiu Yuhua shouted: "Quick!"

Qin Xiao took the long sword and placed it in front of Qiu Yuhua's neck, and said loudly: "Stay away, or I will kill her!"

Qiu Guangcheng didn't expect his daughter to be so obsessed with ghosts, and he was disappointed and angry at the same time.After all, he felt sorry for his daughter. Seeing that someone in the crowd was eager to fight Qin Xiao regardless of the safety of the hostages, he quickly shouted: "Don't hurt my daughter!... Back off, don't act rashly!"

He Ruying did not speak until now, but at this moment he shouted loudly: "Zhang Gong! This man has committed many crimes, and he must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!" He brought a group of He family children who had been prepared, and pulled off the strong bow on their backs, and opened the bow like a full moon. , the arrows were all pointing at Qin Xiao.

Xue Hongliu was also in a hurry, and said loudly: "Stop, Yuhua girl is still in his hand, you can't shoot the arrow!"

Everyone looked at Xue Hongliu, hesitating for a moment.He Ruying said sharply: "Qin Xiao must not be let go today, Qiu Yuhua betrayed the Qiying League and committed the same crime as Qin Xiao, so don't show mercy!"

Qiu Guangcheng became anxious, and said to He Ruying, "Brother, what did you say?"

He Ruying said: "I've already given her a chance, but she didn't cherish it herself. So many people saw her betrayal with their own eyes today, you still want to speak for her?"

Qiu Guangcheng said loudly: "She was cheated by that kid! Daughter, come back and kowtow to your Uncle He to make amends, and we can spare you! Did you hear that!"

Seeing his father's anxious look, Qiu Yuhua's heart ached, tears came down, and he choked up and said, "Father, my daughter can't watch him die. It's because I'm unfilial. Just pretend you never gave birth to me. Listen up, everyone, today's day What I have done has nothing to do with my father, I... I am not worthy of the surname Qiu, if you want to hate, you can only hate me."

He Ruying insisted on shooting arrows, Qiu Guangcheng loved his daughter dearly, and at the command, the Zhuang Ding from Qiujiazhuang quickly dispersed, defending one by one, staring at He's family's bows and arrows.Xue Hongliao seemed to be mediating, but in reality it was towards the Qiu family.

He Ruying saw everyone united to deal with him, and said with a sneer: "A strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake, third brother, today in your Qiujiazhuang's territory, even my elder brother can't be the master. It's just that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The story of you covering up your daughter's collusion with the enemy will sooner or later spread throughout the rivers and lakes, and even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it away. The establishment of the Qiu family's foundation is not easy, and it's up to you whether you want to ruin your reputation or kill your relatives righteously. "

Qiu Guangcheng and He Ruying were in a stalemate and did not move for a while.Qin Xiao paid attention to the movement around her, pulled Qiu Yuhua back slowly, and walked to the side of the road outside the crowd.Someone tied a horse to a tree, Qin Xiao tore off the rope, got on the horse, and went to pull Qiu Yuhua back on the horse.

Xie Beihan hated Qiu Guangcheng for killing his father, and always wanted revenge.He didn't dare to go against Qiu Guangcheng openly. Now that Qiu Yuhua had caused such a big incident, he was very excited. He wished he could add fuel to the flames and make the situation even worse until it got out of hand.

Seeing that Qin Xiao was about to hijack Qiu Yuhua and escape, he scratched his head anxiously.The He family was watched closely by Qiu Guangcheng's people, and no one dared to act rashly. The situation reached a stalemate.

Seeing that Qiu Yuhua was about to escape, he remembered his father's tragic death, and his heart was burning with anger.He grabbed a bow, stretched it to the full and shot at her.Xue Hongliao heard the sound of pulling the string, subconsciously turned her head, and the arrow had already left the string.Xue Hongliao's actions were faster than his consciousness, and he jumped to catch the arrow, but it was half a minute too late.

Qiu Yuhua held Qin Xiao's hand, just as he got on the horse, he felt a sudden pain in the back of his heart.The long arrow pierced through her chest and came out from her heart.

Qiu Yuhua fell into Qin Xiao's arms, with blood foaming from his mouth.Qin Xiao saw the arrow on her chest, and the blood all over her body turned cold.Blood poured out from Qiu Yuhua's heart, Qin Xiao was at a loss what to do, stretched out his hand to cover her wound, his hand was stained with her blood.He hugged her, his arms trembling uncontrollably, and tears fell down suddenly.

Qiu Yuhua was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she was very calm, as if she had predicted her own end long ago.From the moment she made up her mind to save him, she put life and death aside.

Qin Xiao's tears flowed down, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't die. I want to marry you, and I have long wanted to marry you as my wife. I haven't brought you back to Dali yet, I will take you to see the snow in Cangshan Mountain , the moon in the Erhai Lake, we also want to see the camellias together..."

After hearing his words, Qiu Yuhua seemed a little shy but also very happy.She smiled and said softly, "Okay."

Qiu Guangcheng turned around and saw his daughter covered in blood.He seemed to have lost the ability to think and was motionless.

He Ruying shouted loudly: "Take him down!"

Qiu Yuhua took a deep look at Qin Xiao for the last time, and said, "Come on, you have to be good... Live for me well..."

She raised her hand with all her strength and pushed him away.She fell off the horse and closed her eyes.

The crowd shouted and surrounded him, Qin Xiao couldn't help crying, he gritted his teeth, beat his horse and galloped away.

He Ruying ordered people to shoot arrows, and the arrows flew around like locusts, and the scene was in chaos.Xue Hongliao drove away the crowd, held Qiu Yuhua in his arms, and said loudly: "Get out of the way, it's important to save people first!"

Qiu Guangcheng caught up and took Qiu Yuhua.He reached out to touch her breath, her breathing was already very weak.Qiu Guangcheng touched several acupoints on her to stop the bleeding, and he couldn't help shaking. His daughter was his life, and he couldn't lose her.

Su Ti rushed over, Qiu Guangcheng said: "Elder Su, save my daughter!" Su Ti took out the golden sore medicine, and sprinkled a lot of powder on the wound, but the blood still couldn't stop flowing out.

Qiu Yuhua had suffered internal injuries and was very weak.This time, an arrow was shot in the heart, and a large amount of blood gushed out and blocked the heart veins. It seemed impossible to save him.Su Ti stopped applying the medicine, frowning, with a regretful expression.

Xue Hongliu said anxiously: "Don't give up, save her!"

Su Ti said: "She has no heartbeat."

Xue Hongliao reached out to feel her breath and pulse, but this time there was nothing.Qiu Yuhua's body gradually cooled down.

Xue Hongliao's eyes were red. Although she and Qiu Yuhua had known each other not long ago, they had similar temperaments and were like sisters.She died, Xue Hongliao felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart, bloody pain.

Furious, she stood up and strode towards Xie Beihan, shouting: "My surname is Xie, you are despicable and shameless for stabbing people in the back. You stand up and compete with me in an upright manner. Either you die today, or I die!"
