Chapter 188 What’s Your Name (5)
On the day when the Xirong people attacked the city, the sky suddenly became overcast and it started to rain heavily.
Soon it started to rain heavily again, like a vast sea of waves rolling up to the sky and pouring down to the earth. The strong wind and heavy rain seemed to destroy the entire county beyond recognition, and the whole city seemed to be tottering in the heavy rain.
A sudden change in the weather is an ominous sign.
The Earl was totally unprepared and the city was easily breached by that group of people. Outside the city, the sounds of bows and arrows, swords and spears continued. The city guards rushed to the front line to protect their people but still suffered countless casualties. There was a row of archers on the city defense arrow tower who shot arrows quickly, but the arrows were not only buried in the wind and rain, but also buried in the enemy's shield wall!
They could not stop the Xirong people's surging momentum like a rainstorm and a violent wind!
There was even more blood and gore in the city. Countless Xirong people rode past on fierce horses, trampling over corpses. The howling wind and rain could not cover the cheers of those people who raised their whips to plunder treasures and women. How cruel!
"Help! Ugh—!"
"Dad, Mom... don't die, wuwuwu!"
"Child, run...ah!"
In the chaos, there were countless screams and cries, as well as the sound of swords piercing flesh. Blood mixed with rain water flowed in all directions on the street, and iron hooves trampled as they passed, splashing dirty mud.
Mixed in with the cries of pain were the sounds of the invaders' hearty laughter.
In the area near the royal court of the Earl State, countless invaders gathered into a small team as the vanguard. They killed anyone they saw. The powerless civilians fell in a pool of blood before they could even react to the enemy attacking the city.
The court guards shouted angrily and rushed forward to fight with the foreign enemies. In the battle, the sound of children crying could be heard.
At this time, a crying woman with red eyes ran over from a distance. She picked up a sword from the ground and rushed towards the enemy without hesitation: "I will kill you!!!"
"Princess! No!" someone shouted from behind.
At this moment, Emperor Ning, who was far away in the sky, suddenly felt his heart twitch violently. He, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly lost his mind. He picked up the sword in the room and rushed out like a madman. The eunuch chief steward beside him turned pale with fear and knelt on the ground to hold him back: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong? Go, go and get the imperial physician!"
As soon as the eunuch finished calling out, Emperor Ning seemed to have calmed down again. He stood at the door with a pale face and was stunned for a while. I just had a palpitation, and I always felt that Lan Qin was dead, but... was she alive?
He clearly knew that the Xirong people were going to attack Boguo, and he could clearly use countless methods to protect her, even if he just tied her up and took her to Ningguo, and imprisoned her in this harem! It would be better than...
At that moment of fear, his body controlled his brain and he wanted to rush out desperately and kill all those Xirong people with one sword!
It's too late, it's still too late.
He threw away the sword and looked up at the sky with lifeless eyes. The rolling dark clouds covered the four directions, making people feel depressed and frightened...
……
Afterwards, someone reported to the Witch Queen that Emperor Ning had been deeply worried in recent days, even mumbling "Qin'er" in his sleep in the middle of the night. Today he even planned to go to the battlefield of Bo State with a sword and kill himself.
After hearing this, the witch queen sneered with disdain: "It's already this time, why are you still pretending to be affectionate? If you have the guts, fly to the Earldom to save him."
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and dared not speak, wondering how dare the queen say such things about the emperor...
After saying this, the witch queen herself realized that after so many years, obedience had become just a habit, and love had long since disappeared with the wind.
……
On that day, soldiers in the Imperial Square were fighting bloody battles and desperately struggling with foreign enemies. Princess Lanqin suddenly jumped into the battlefield with a sword in her hand in a rage and stabbed the nearest enemy hard!
But the man sensed the murderous intent behind him, and turned around very quickly and kicked Lan Qin. Lan Qin was kicked so high that she fell to the ground. Her internal organs were almost ruptured and the pain was excruciating.
At this time, her friends, fellow troupe members and even ordinary people all rushed over when they saw her, stood in front of her, stretched their necks, spread their arms, and looked as if they were ready to be killed.
"She is the princess, okay! Take her away!" The man in front of her gave an evil smile and stared at Lan Qin.
One of his companions quickly stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Don't be so rude to the princess! You beasts..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stabbed in the chest. He stood upright in front of Lan Qin with his eyes wide open, but he fell to the ground after a moment and died with his eyes open.
"A Xuan!!!" Lan Qin screamed in pain. That was her junior fellow apprentice in the troupe, who had always protected her until the moment his life ended.
"What a troublesome thing!" After killing one person, the man continued walking forward nonchalantly.
But other companions and civilians continued to take A Xuan's place and protected Lan Qin with their own flesh and blood.
Lan Qin, lying on the ground, cried heartbreakingly. She screamed in pain in the mud and blood: "Hide! Hide quickly! Leave me alone! I will kill them all! No one will be spared!"
One of the common people was clearly trembling all over, but he refused to leave. He just stared with a pair of red eyes and said, "They have planned this for a long time. Even if my country is defeated today, please Princess, make sure our descendants will not forget this day! If there is an afterlife, I will take revenge!"
Another person also said excitedly: "Princess, I just saw an army among them. Although they are disguised, they are still using their usual weapons. I saw the symbol of the Ningguo army on their sword handles!!!"
In an instant, Lan Qin felt as if someone was strangling her throat, making it impossible to breathe. Anger surged in her chest, and she spurted out a mouthful of hot blood. Before she could come to her senses, the two civilians in front of her were killed with two swords by that man.
Lan Qin gnashed her teeth and trembled all over. The huge anger made her crazy. So, she forgot the pain in her body and picked up the broken sword beside her. Before the beast could kill all her people, she rushed over and shouted angrily: "How can you treat my people and my country like this... If they die, I will never live alone! I will kill you!!!"
At that moment, she was determined to die and be buried on the same day as her country and people.
A blade stained with the blood of her people pierced straight into her heart. She opened her eyes, but did not look at the face of her enemy. At the moment of death, she used the last bit of time to look around. Her people were lying in a pool of blood on the ground. The guards didn't even have time to save her. When they pounced on her, they were pierced by the enemy's spear. The guard fell to the ground, staring, gritting his teeth, and stretching his hand to reach her, but he still died after a few short breaths.
The devastated and ruined Bo State is no longer the place it once was, with people singing and dancing and smiling faces everywhere.
I don’t know if it was the fault of the centenary banquet or the fault of falling in love at first sight.
