MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 70v4 One moment away, one moment far away
"Bury you all with me! Bury with me!" Ge Shao was twirling and rolling by the underground cauldron, laughing wildly, pointing at the void, pointing at the enemies who were here or not, "Ge Shao Lian! Your Majesty! The Queen! And you! You people who follow the power, climb high and trample on the low, are you comfortable in this majestic palace? I want you to be buried here immediately. Ten thousand people trample on it, okay hahaha..."
Jing Hengbo circled the cauldron furnace, looking for the gaps, and gave her a hard look. All the dying people are lunatics. She must have been driven crazy by Ge Lian. She kept saying that she couldn't forget Ge Lian. right.
She has known for a long time that this pair of sisters who are greedy for profit and deep in the city, seem to be as good as wearing a pair of pants, but in fact, as long as there is a conflict of interest, sooner or later they will fall apart and kill each other.
The so-called deep love between sisters, but self-anesthesia, wouldn't it be fireproof, anti-theft, and girlfriends?
She suddenly focused her eyes, and found that there was a damper, which was not closed tightly, and a corner was slightly raised. The fire inside has been weakened, and more of it is roasting on a low fire so that the smoke can be emitted upwards.
She stared at the door, looked at Ge Shao, and gritted her teeth violently.
Ge Shao was still laughing and cursing, her voice gradually hoarse, when suddenly she felt the wind passing by, and Jing Hengbo had already grabbed her arm.
Ge Shao stared at her, unable to shake her off, lowered her head to bite her, but Jing Hengbo pulled her head up by her hair, and couldn't help her to speak, and dragged her towards the cauldron. Ge Shao struggled, flailing Jing Hengbo's clothes with his hands, but his scalp was in severe pain from being pulled, and he screamed.
Jing Hengbo dragged her all the way to the not-closed damper, grabbed her hand, lifted her up, and suddenly grabbed the edge of the damper.
"Ahhhhhhh..." Ge Shao's screams were piercing, and a smell of burnt flesh came to his nostrils. Jing Hengbo, who was taller than her, grabbed her hand on tiptoe and pulled the damper hard. At the same time, Jing Hengbo turned his face and hid to the side of the giant cauldron. The heat wave from the damper rushed over, and Ge Shao's hair and eyebrows suddenly disappeared, and hot black ash rushed all over his face. , she opened her mouth, wanting to scream, but sucked in a lot of ashes, she tremblingly raised her hand and wanted to cover her nose, but when she raised her hand, it turned into white bones, and the flesh was scalded and fell off in pieces.
Jing Hengbo gritted his teeth, what she had done was cruel, and what she was going to do was even more cruel, but she had to do it.
The lives of countless people are always more important than this humble life of this woman.
As soon as the damper was opened, a heat wave rolled in, and the temperature in the whole room suddenly rose by more than ten degrees. Some debris and soot flew out, and the air was unbearably dirty. Yeluqi was knocking on the door anxiously outside, asking her to open the door, how could Jing Hengbo dare to open the door to let him in, the situation here is so bad, Yeluqi has been deeply poisoned, and it cannot be worse.
With a wave of her hand, Kongkong grabbed Ge Shao who was lying on the ground and couldn't stop trembling, and shoved it into the damper like lightning!
There was a muffled howl that didn't sound like a human voice in the cauldron.
There was only half a howl, and then it stopped abruptly.
The temperature inside is too high, it will kill you if you touch it!
Those who wish to be buried in the mud of the royal palace are the first to die under the mud of the royal palace.
Ge Shao was not too thin, his huge body tightly blocked the hearth, even blocked the damper. The dark fire in the hearth was instantly suppressed.
The gurgling sound became much quieter immediately, and Jing Hengbo looked up at the pipe. She didn't know what the gas was or how much the gas had escaped, but time counted and there was still time.
I hope Gong Yin and the others can find out sooner.
Surrounded by gray, she managed to flash out of the basement by memory.
Yeluqi, who looked anxious and pale, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her, and then he was shocked again, "On you..."
Jing Hengbo looked at himself, his body was covered with black, black, yellow and yellow dust and smoke, and he was in a mess. The moment the damper opened just now, although she avoided her face, she had to stay very close to the cauldron furnace, and the dust in those cauldron furnaces inevitably covered her face and body.
Although Yeluqi helped her cover her head and face with cloth, there were gaps in the cloth.
Jing Hengbo let out an "um" and suddenly fell down limply.
Yeluqi quickly caught her and was about to pat the ashes on her body. Jing Hengbo pushed his hand away with great effort, "...don't pat...I saw all kinds of clothing fragments and human and mouse bones on the top of the cauldron just now...don't touch... Find water to rinse..."
Yeluqi was struck by lightning.
Of course he understood what the phrase "clothing fragments and human and mouse bones" meant.
The bones and clothes hidden deep in the ground will definitely not be the bones and clothes of normal people, they must be the corpses of the victims of the epidemic. The cauldron is baked in a special way to disperse the epidemic gas.
This is the poison of the plague that everyone is talking about, and there is almost no cure!
Jing Hengbo also understood at this moment, and couldn't help but smile wryly. No wonder Ge Shao dared to say that everyone should be buried with him. If this thing spreads, it is not impossible to kill the entire Luoyun City in this era!
At this moment, her body was hot and cold, dizzy, her strength seemed to be drained from her body suddenly, and she knew that she was not good. Reluctantly pulling away Yeluqi's hand, he said with a smile: "...wrap it tightly...it won't be...I'm a little tired, let's rest here first, you go first."
Yeluqi half-kneeled in front of her, staring at her, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged her.
Jing Hengbo was startled, and immediately struggled, "Don't touch me! Let go! Or I'll call you!"
Yeluqi didn't seem to hear, but hugged her tightly.
His voice was soft and soft, but every word was clear in her ears.
"If you can't do it, don't say it. Just as you can't do it and save me, I can't do it and leave you at this time."
As soon as he hugged him, the dust on Jing Hengbo's body immediately covered him, Jing Hengbo changed color and brushed away, but his hand was grabbed by him again.
"I can teleport..." Jing Hengbo pushed him reluctantly with a smile, "Faster than you. It's just that I'm a little tired for a while, can I take a rest?"
"Let's go out and rest." Yeluqi turned around and carried her on his back. What Jing Hengbo wanted to say, he suddenly laughed, "I have also been deeply poisoned, and I don't know if I can live. Hengbo, your life is only Will leave it to Gong Yin, now, leave this short period of time, and give me this dying person, won't it work?"
Jing Hengbo lowered his eyelashes, and the thousands of persuasion he was about to say turned into a sigh in his heart.
Yeluqi has never been tough, but he always has a way to hit her where she is most vulnerable.
He didn't fall in love with her at first sight, but he gradually looked back on her in the following time. This turning around was his whole life and nothing.
Because of her, he lost his honor, family, stable and honorable life, and even his current health. Before meeting her, he was still the master of Zuo Guoshi, who is powerful, long-sleeved, and good at dancing. He could have been so glamorous and calm. He had the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos when Gong Yin was about to retire, and seize the supreme power of the Great Wilderness with one hand. Let go, let go, forget her.
However, at this moment, in this dark and dirty underground, he reunited after a long absence, with a pale face, and only asked for the last time to be together.
She could only answer in silence.
so be it.
She may have contracted a fatal disease, and it is impossible for Yeluqi to leave her behind. In the end, she can only drag him down.
Suddenly he vaguely heard the sound shaking inside, and the ground also seemed to be trembling slightly, Jing Hengbo murmured: "Isn't it going to explode..."
Although the design of the cauldron was weird, it didn't seem to have a mechanism, so it didn't make sense to explode.
"No matter what, let's go!" Yeluqi carried her on his back and ran forward.
The vibration behind her was getting stronger and stronger, Yeluqi was running with her on his back, and he didn't know where the strength came from. The cracking sound was ear-piercing and sharp. When Jing Hengbo turned his head, he saw that at some point, the closed iron door had been deformed by the impact, and a long piece protruded. The shape seemed to be given by a huge pipe. poked out.
She was puzzled for a moment, the cauldron exploded if it was going to explode, how could the pipe fly out and smash the iron door?
But there was no time to think about it at this time, if the cauldron exploded and caused a collapse, the two of them would be buried alive in the ground.
Yeluqi also knew the advantages and disadvantages, his figure flashed like lightning, the corridor was completely dark at this moment, the two ran for a while, suddenly felt that this path seemed to be longer than before, when looking back, it seemed that this path was no longer the previous one.
Going off in the dark?
The two looked at each other.
After all, Yeluqi was not healed from his serious injury, and he relied on those medicines for support for a while, but when he stopped at this moment, he couldn't continue. Jing Hengbo heard his suppressed panting, and hurriedly took out the medicines he had put away from his bosom, and said: "Take a break, it's so far away, even if it explodes, it won't hurt us."
Yeluqi was also polite, and took half of the fleece-flower root from her hand. Fortunately, Jing Hengbo collected it tightly, and the medicine was wrapped in cloth, so there was no pollution at all.
He tore off his underwear, wiped the Polygonum multiflorum, wrapped his hand and divided it in two, and handed half to her lips.
Jing Hengbo also ate. Although he decided to drag him down, it would be better if he could drag him down less.
The two of them leaned against the damp soil wall, recovering their strength, when they suddenly heard footsteps.
…
Time returned to the gate of the palace a moment ago.
The blood of the officials in front of the palace gate stained the white marble steps all over.
With just one break, Luoyun will die in the court, half of the country will collapse, and even if it is cleaned up again, it will definitely hurt its vitality.
The general who led the army on the horse looked at the stumped limbs and arms, and vaguely noticed that it was not good, but Ge Lian was beside him and said sinisterly: "Right or wrong, is this the right time? Is it right or wrong now? Wrong, if it is really wrong, will there be a good end?"
The generals were stunned, thinking that the matter had come to an end, if it was really a heavy official who had stepped on the ground, this crime would affect the whole family, and it would be unforgivable. The entire army has been driven to a dead end. If they don't fight, even if they put down their weapons at this moment, their families will be ruined and their lives will be destroyed.
It's better to cover your head and rush in. At this time, if you have a large number of people, you have a better chance of winning. If you win, you will have the merits of opening a new dynasty, and if you lose, there will be no worse ending-it's just a dead word.
At this moment, the soldiers didn't understand, and the generals finally woke up, but even though they hated Ge Lian at this moment, they could only grit their teeth without saying a word, and rushed into the palace gate.
The gate of the palace had been knocked open at this time, and the gatekeeper saw that the officials below were being trampled, and fearing that he would be responsible for not opening the gate, he made a serious mistake and hurriedly opened the gate, which directly caused the rebels to swarm in.
At this time, Ge Shen had led his people to rush to the front of the palace gate. Seeing this situation, his face changed drastically, and the leader of the palace guard hurriedly ordered to retreat and form an array to protect the king.
At this time, Pei Shu and the others had also rushed out of the palace, just as the troops from both sides collided, Pei Shu was anxious to find Jing Hengbo, and had no intention of fighting, so he only formed his own group into a battle group to protect Concubine Li while fighting and leaving , looking for the exit Li Fei said.
Fang Cheng, who would be hopeful, also saw the corpses strewn all over the gate of the palace at this moment, and he was so shocked that he burst into tears—it was not the officials of the death festival who were crying, but his own ability was not wrong.
At this time, Ge Shen was inexplicably sad and angry. Through the palace gate and the army, he saw his important ministers died in a single battle, saw his daughter waving troops at each other, and kept saying, "Your Majesty is being kidnapped by the rebels, let me rescue you!", seeing his own The army threatened each other with swords, demanding to "hand over the king", and their own palace guards were outnumbered and retreated steadily.
Ge Shen was in tears.
Feeling sorry for this important minister, many people have followed him for more than ten years, if they hadn't blocked the palace gate with their bodies against the iron hooves for a moment tonight, maybe before he gathered the palace guards here to fight, the rebel army would have rushed into the palace to burn, kill and loot.
The daughter who loves her dearly draws her sword to face her, knowing that she has a deep heart and great ambitions, and has guarded against her for more than ten years. In the end, she still saw the white lotus flower like a **** rakshasa, and smiled grimly before the battle.
Feeling sorry for myself for a momentary loss, unexpectedly causing Luoyun to suffer catastrophe. At this moment, I feel regretful, and I don't need to think about it. There must be a reason for the Queen. Such a huge change overnight, who is this pusher, is naturally the man in white who claimed to "clean up the injustice" yesterday. He, the great king sitting on the throne, is also facing the most critical moment in his life at this moment, precarious.
At this time, in the chaos, I was still confused and couldn't help but think over and over again, who is that, who is that?
The figure in white flashed through my mind over and over again, tall, slender, straight, with a distant and steady gait...
Suddenly, a figure flashed from memory like electricity.
On the grand ceremony, between the red carpet, a white figure slowly walked up the steps, calmly climbing up the steps in front of everyone's eyes, with a detached and steady posture, occasionally Qing Lingling's eyes glanced, and everyone in the audience was suffocated, as if their hearts were down for a while ice and snow.
Standing on one side of the stage, he could only see the profile of the man who looked like a sculpture of a god, with a high collar and pale gold pearls shining on the collar.
The two figures slowly overlapped... He was shocked and let out a long breath.
It turned out to be him!
It turned out to be him!
After thinking about it, I feel even more heartbroken.
The familiarity in memory was originally a kind reminder of fate, but he was impetuous and missed it.
Ge Shen raised his head suddenly and looked around, but he didn't find the queen and Gong Yin.
But he still screamed desperately.
"Your Majesty! National Teacher! It is Ge Shen who has no eyes and no eyes, and offends the nobleman! I beg you to see that you are both in the same lineage of the Great Wilderness, because Luoyun is also a loyal subject of Dige, and because Luoyun Ruoluan, the hurt is after all. For the sake of my peace in the wilderness, forgive me once and help me once!"
"Please, forgive me! Help me!"
Ge Shen's shout made the soldiers look at each other in blank dismay, worried that the king could not bear the stimulation and went mad.
Ge Lian on the opposite side was startled, Your Majesty, she knew who it was, but the national teacher?
She was only taken aback for a moment, and then she reacted, her face changed, and she said urgently, "Come on!"
There are still variables in this battle, so we can't delay any longer!
"That's the king!" The Jingwei general changed color.
"If I win and ascend the throne today, you will be prime ministers and deputy prime ministers tomorrow. I swear with my life that your family's prosperity will last forever!"
After gritting his teeth for a moment, the attack order sounded, the drums beat three times, and the palace gates fought once.
There was a deep smile in Ge Lian's eyes, the place behind the palace gate was narrow, relying on the large number of people, a few charges could break through the formation of palace guards and kill the king.
The horse's hoof rolled forward, and there was a sound of breaking when it stepped on the bluestone slab. Ge Shen's shout continued, sounding sad and firm amidst the chaos.
Everyone thought that he was too stimulated at the moment, lost his mind and went crazy, no matter what he said, they all said anxiously, "Don't shout, my lord! I will protect you and escape first! If you leave the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood!"
"Master of the State!" Ge Shen shouted desperately as he retreated into the palace under the embrace of the guards, "If Shen Shen can get you to protect this body today and eradicate the rebellion, I will swear to the death that Luo Yun will be Her Majesty's loyal minister forever and ever Belonging to Luoyun, half of the army’s minerals will be dedicated to the queen. Luoyun’s succession for generations of kings requires the consent of the queen and her descendants. If I break this oath, I will die from Luoyun, and the Ge family will be slaves and prostitutes for generations !"
The cry was shrill, echoing in front of the chaotic two armies.
Outside the palace gate, beside the square, in front of a necessary road, a figure in white stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, the whole street was covered with ice and snow in this midsummer weather, and it was smooth and hard.
On the ice and snow, a group of troops are trekking hard. Their leather boots are very slippery on such hard ice. They walk two steps and slip one step at a time. The thin armored weapons on their bodies jingle on the ice. , are often frozen.
A large group of Long family children happily looked on with their chins in their hands, satisfied with the ice street they had jointly built.
The army that rushed over was the Imperial Guard Battalion, the garrison of Wangcheng, who had had time to intercept Ge Lian, but inexplicably encountered a slippery ice street in midsummer weather.
Ge Shen's shout came faintly.
Gong Yin was silent until he heard Ge Shen's last oath, and suddenly said: "Remove the ice."
With one command and one movement, the white shadows flickered one after another, and after a while, ice chips flew, and two deep trenches that were no longer ice-free appeared on the ground. The soldiers hurriedly stepped into the trenches and rushed to the square.
As soon as this army arrived, the guards of Ge Shen, who had been watching from the heights, had already seen it. After the emergency report, Ge Shen was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the flag to be set off and fireworks, calling the army to "rescue the king, and eradicate the Jingwei rebels who besieged the palace gate." .”
Ge Lian felt the commotion in the rear, and when she saw that army suddenly appearing, her face turned pale.
What an unfortunate time!
Our side has not captured the king yet, has not occupied the palace, half of the palace gates and half of the palace gates, now the palace is confronted with the king's personal guards, and outside the palace is met with the imperial guard camp, attacking back and forth!
Who, timing is like playing a qin, from succession to succession, every step is in the palm of his hand!
"Gather together! Join the army! Attack the palace first, the most important thing is to take down the king!" She shouted sharply, with sweat dripping down her face.
Several white shadows passed by her side, after Gong Yin gave up trying to stop her, he went straight to the palace gate, passed the chaotic Luoyun army fighting, and met Li Fei and the others who were still anxiously looking.
At this time, Pei Shu and the others were wandering around a screen wall on the west side of the palace gate. Concubine Li was sweating profusely, wandering around, constantly muttering, "Where are you... Where are you... It's been so long that I can't remember." Cleared up..."
"Hurry up!" Pei Shu urged impatiently, if Concubine Li wasn't a woman, he would have whipped her already.
"What's down there?" Tian Qi asked.
"I don't know." Concubine Li wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I just vaguely heard that the king said that the house is an important place and no one is allowed to enter. The king is very taboo about this. Once I asked him about it while he was drunk. He said that there is absolutely no place to touch, it is not a place to hide and escape, but it will be opened in case the Luoyun Department encounters extremely difficult and difficult situations. He also said that the Floating Water Department dares to play tricks, and it will not hesitate to burn everything and die together He was drunk that night and took me on a night tour of the palace. He pointed to this direction and told me in this direction, saying that the opening is at the gate of the palace. I will always guard the gate of Luoyun Palace... At that time, it was far away, and I vaguely remembered that there was a bunch of peonies there, where are the flowers now..."
Yongxue suddenly stepped forward, searched in all directions silently, pointed to a cluster of flowers and trees behind the screen wall, near a pool, and said: "Here."
Li Fei went to look, but did not see Shaoyao, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said happily: "Like! It should be."
"How did you find out?" Tian Qi asked.
Yongxue poked the grass under the tree with her toes, where there were faint traces of transplanting, and there were still some broken roots and branches of peonies.
Everyone hurriedly started digging, they were all masters, they were working with astonishing speed, a hole appeared in a short while, Li Fei leaned over to have a look, said: "There seems to be a pipe..." Then she said in surprise, "It's so hot !"
She backed up abruptly, and when she backed away, everyone saw her face was black, yellow and yellow, and at the same time, there was a strange smell coming from the entrance of the cave, an indescribably rancid stench, Pei Shu was close to the entrance of the cave, and his expression changed when he smelled the smell Changing, Pishou pushed Yongxue aside who had come to watch, and everyone retreated one after another. Si Si, who is the most skilled in medicine among the Seven Kills, and Si Rongming, the little doctor, said in surprise at the same time: "This taste is not right!"
"Bang." With a sound, everyone turned their heads and saw Concubine Li had fallen to the ground, her face ashen.
"Back! Back!" Si Rongming shouted, "This may be the smoke from the burning of the epidemic..."
No one backed away, everyone cheered and surrounded him, Pei Shu tore off his clothes, covered his mouth and nose, and was about to jump into the pipe.
Bai Ying rushed over and pulled him away. Pei Shu turned his head and saw who was coming, his eyes turned red instantly, "You!"
Gong Yin shook his hand and threw him aside.
Pei Shu rushed over, "Jing Hengbo is below!"
"I know." Gong Yin ignored him and stretched out his hand to summon his own children.
"This is not asking for credit and selling it! You have to grab it to save someone!" Pei Shu was furious, and the veins on his neck were twitching.
"I don't mind watching you burn to death, but I'm afraid she will disgust her when she comes up." Gong Yin replied without turning his head.
Pei Shu was stunned, and looked with his head, only to notice that the pipe was slightly red, and it was obviously scalded before it was close to a heat wave. .
He blinked, a little unacceptable—Unknowingly, owed Gong Yin for saving his life?
Gong Yin squatted beside the pipe, felt it silently for a while, and said with a long breath: "She's not below...but it shouldn't be far away." Then he called his disciples, and stood by the hole holding his breath, "Ice, at the same time, a , two, three!"
The white light was like electricity, and the temperature was suddenly cold. The palms of the Long family children flew ice and snow, and shot at the pipe in groups.
A cloud of ice and snow first blocked the exit of the pipe, preventing the smoke and dust that could spread the disease from escaping. Immediately, the ice and snow extended downwards, and the heat and cold clashed. The pipes continued to creak and crack, and there was a constant vibration. Jumping, stepping back unsteadily, I heard Gong Yin say: "The pipe is broken."
Immediately, the children of the Long family all started to pull out the upper half of the remaining pipe from the ground, carefully avoiding the crowd and putting it aside. Everyone saw that the pipe was full of ice and snow, wrapped in **** of black and yellow things, and then looked back. Seeing Li Fei who had been sprayed all over her face, her face was blue and her breathing was weak, she seemed to be dying.
Everyone's hearts were cold and extremely anxious—Jing Hengbo might be down there!
Pei Shu couldn't bear it anymore, he was the first to jump down, and then gasped for air.
He saw the whole basement, which was covered with crushed ice and snow at the moment, also wrapped in **** of black and yellow things. The pipe hit the big iron gate and rolled to the side. Connected to the half-cut pipe, the entire basement exudes a disgusting smell.
Pei Shu was stunned, first he was glad that Jing Hengbo was not here, and then he was glad that it was Gong Yin who came. If it weren't for his family's ice and snow internal skills, it would be difficult for the rest of the martial arts to cool down quickly, break the pipes, and wrap and isolate the toxic substances. Using ice to kill viruses will soon make this place safe. No matter how good their martial arts are, they can't restrain the high temperature and isolate the poison. They can only block the exit, or jump down to be contaminated by these poisons.
As soon as the cool air around him rose, Gong Yin had already landed. He scanned the room with a glance, walked to the side of the cauldron, bent down suddenly, and picked up a piece of cloth.
Pei Shu suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was a few degrees colder.
Not wanting to talk to Gong Yin, he still couldn't help asking: "Why?"
Gong Yin didn't answer, and threw away the piece of cloth in his hand suddenly, and walked towards the iron gate quickly.
Seeing that his face was extremely ugly, Pei Shu rushed to grab the piece of cloth, recognized at a glance that it was Jing Hengbo's clothes, and gasped again.
She has been here!
when did she come Was there any smoke coming out of the cauldron when we came here?
The damper on the side of the cauldron was open, just in the direction of Gong Yin, he didn't pay attention just now, when he turned his head at this moment, he suddenly saw a human foot protruding from the edge of the damper.
It is said that the feet are no longer like feet, they are just claw-shaped coke, and only a demon king like Pei Shu who has killed countless people can recognize them. He moved to the damper and looked inside, only to feel a "buzz" in his head.
Then he turned around abruptly and shouted: "Hengbo!"
"Wow." With a sound, Gong Yin had already opened the iron gate, and walked out quickly. In front of him was a simple corridor, which was dark and without lights.
The sound of Gong Yin's footsteps echoed in the corridor.
This was the sound of footsteps that Jing Hengbo heard.
The sound she heard earlier thought it was the huge shock of the cauldron explosion, but it was actually the sound of the pipe hitting the iron door after it broke due to the blow of cold and heat.
The sound of footsteps echoed in my ears, fast and steady, but slightly stiff.
Jing Hengbo listened quietly in the dark, his beating heart gradually returned to tranquility.
This is Gong Yin, Gong Yin is here.
My heart gradually calmed down, but it gradually sank, because the heat on my body slowly came up.
His footsteps gradually approached.
She blinked, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
…
