MTL - Harue Kagetsu-Chapter 89
Luoshen took a bite of the cake, but heard a slight rustling sound near his side.
She turned her head sharply and looked at the pile of hay.
During the day, because she didn't want to always see Murong's blood-stained face, she cut grass and covered his head, face and body to cover it.
The rustling sound just now seemed to come from the pile of grass covering his body.
Luo Shen's whole body was tense. Holding the dagger in one hand, picking up a branch in the other, leaning over cautiously, using the branch to push away the grass covering his head and face, he saw the blood on his head and face solidified, his face like a piece of golden paper, and a dead man There is no difference, but at this moment, he frowned, his face was painful, and his eyelids moved slightly.
He's not dead yet!
Luoshen was taken aback, and hurriedly brushed away the weeds on his body, seeing that his hands and feet were still well bound, he was a little relieved.
She stared at the person on the ground, holding the dagger tightly, her heart was suffering, should she bite the bullet and stab him a few more times, she suddenly heard him moan in a low voice, "Auntie...it's cold...please Please don't leave me..."
Luoshen was startled, seeing that his eyes were still closed, but his limbs were slowly curled up, his body was tightly curled into a ball, his expression was painful, his teeth were twitching, as if he was in a cold world of ice and snow, the whole person was going through a huge torment.
Luo Shen's heart was pounding, and the hand holding the dagger was unable to stab it for a while.
After a while, Murong Di, who was on the ground, seemed to finally wake up completely.
He opened his eyes slowly, turned his head, which was full of coagulated blood, with difficulty. Looking at his own Luoshen, he looked at her for a moment, pursed his chapped lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are so smart, you can come up with this method, tell your lord, you are here..."
Just saying this sentence, it seems that all his physical strength has been exhausted.
He gasped, closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then opened them again.
"I know that your husband will definitely see the fireworks you set and find them... When he comes, he will kill me..."
"I'm not afraid of death...but I don't want to die at the hands of others...I'd rather die at the hands of others than at the hands of others. You just kill me...I don't blame you...it's me deserved it..."
He spoke intermittently.
Luoshen gritted his teeth, and the hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly.
"Really... My only purpose in living to this day is revenge, and I have no interest in living. If I can die in your hands like this, it will be a relief for me..."
His purple eyes stared fixedly at Luoshen, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"My uncle is known as the No. 1 general in the north, and he is an unparalleled hero. I know he fell in love with your mother at first sight when he was young, and he still doesn't forget it. I used to laugh secretly, but why is it so affectionate. When I meet you, I know that in the world There really is a beautiful woman, willing to call moths to the fire, and never regret it..."
"Shut up!" Luo Shen yelled at him.
"I'm about to die, whether you listen to it or not, just say what's in your heart, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future..."
He didn't seem to hear it.
"Do you still remember that on the day of Qu Shui Liujing, I killed Xu Yue, accidentally bumped into you, and forced you to keep a secret for me? I'm really not human, I always treat you like that..."
He looked in pain and coughed a few times.
"Afterwards, although you left Jiankang, I was always worried that you would break your promise, tell your parents my secret, and cause me trouble, thinking that if this happens, I must take precautions. One day, I will In the name of an old friend, I went to visit your mother. After I tested it, I realized that you really made a promise. Even if you hate me, you have done what you promised. How can I be busy with calculations all day long, villain Qiqi, Save others by yourself…”
"Since that day, I've been very grateful to you... What's more, now you have saved me..."
"I'm jealous of Li Mu. He's just a poor martial artist, how can he win your heart like this..."
"You know why I didn't run away quietly after I was injured? Because I can't bear you... I can be by your side, even if I fan you every day, it's a blessing for me... As for dying in your hands, it's even more so. Willingly, without complaint..."
"Shut up for me!"
Luoshen still held the dagger in one hand, grabbed a piece of mud on the ground with the other, and blocked his mouth.
At this moment, Murong suddenly lifted his legs, which were tied by ropes, and kicked towards Luoshen. The toes were impartial and kicked on her wrist holding the dagger.
Luoshen's wrist was sore, and the dagger flew out.
She was startled and hurried to grab it, saying that it was too late, it was too soon, and Murong, who was dying just now, rolled over and rushed over, grabbed in front of her, and was crushed on the dagger.
As soon as he succeeded, he opened his mouth quickly, grabbed the dagger, raised his wrist and leaned over, and cut the rope tied in a few seconds.
The ropes burst open and landed from his wrist.
Seeing him pick up the dagger and cut the ropes on his feet, Luoshen finally reacted, turned his head sharply, ran towards the horse tied to the stone, ran to him, untied the reins, stepped on the stirrups. , climbed on horseback.
As soon as she got into the saddle, she grasped the reins on both sides tightly, her legs clamped around the horse's belly, and the horse immediately moved forward.
In her entire life, her actions have never been so neat as this moment.
In fact, Murong Ti had already woken up, but he had lost too much blood, and her hands and feet were tightly bound by her. He tried in secret, but he couldn't break free. The spirit began to deal with her.
Finally succeeded, as soon as he cut off the rope on his foot, he chased after him, but how could he catch up for a while?
I never imagined that, in the end, she would escape like this again, and her anger attacked her heart, and because she was not physically strong, she only managed to run a few steps, then she felt dizzy, gritted her teeth, and chased after a few more steps, her body swayed, and her head turned away. fell to the ground.
Luoshen had never learned to ride a horse before, but he was held by Murong for many days. He had been bumped on this horse for many days. He was used to the bumps and jumps when running. , and finally ran out smoothly.
She heard Murong Ti's angry shouts behind her, and did not dare to look back. She was even more afraid that she would be overturned by the running horses. Open the belly and slow down.
The horse stopped. She turned her head and saw the grass and twilight behind her, and she could no longer see Murong Ti's figure, her hands softened, and the man lay on the horse's back, breathing heavily.
The sky started to get dark.
Luoshen dismounted, suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked around, trying to find a suitable hiding place first. Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint sound of horses' hooves running in his ears.
Her heart beat faster, and she followed the sound.
She heard it right.
In the distance, dozens of moving black spots gradually appeared, and dozens of people and horses came.
Luoshen's first reaction was that Li Mu saw that he had burned the smoke during the day, and finally caught up at this moment.
At this moment, she was so ecstatic that she almost burst into tears. Just as he was about to run towards the group of people in the distance, he suddenly stopped abruptly.
Today is a sunny day, she remembers, the setting sun is on her left.
These days, although Murong Ti was constantly changing his direction and path, compared to Yi Cheng, he must have headed north. This is certain.
That is to say, if Li Mu is chasing after her, at this moment, he should be from the south or southwest direction behind her.
Instead of coming from her front like these people.
Luoshen didn't have time to think about it, he quickly drove the horse away, turned around, ran towards a hill covered with weeds in the distance behind him, climbed up, and got in.
That group of people swept past the grass and galloped away in the direction of the smoke rising during the day. Gradually approaching the pile of fire, he didn't seem to dare to move forward rashly, and stopped after a stone's throw away.
On the back of the horse, a person came down, tentatively, walking slowly forward, finally walking to the stream, and found Murong Ti who was dazed on the ground, overjoyed, and loudly called in Xianbei: "Princess! Yes! King Lingzhi! King Lingzhi has been found!"
A horse came galloping, and immediately came down a beautiful young woman, Murong Zhe, Murong Zhe's sister.
That day, she let go of Murong, and she also got off the carriage early. After disguising, she absconded back to Jiangbei.
The Northern Xia Emperor was extremely angry at the assassination and collective betrayal of the Murong people. Almost every city is covered with arrest notices, and rewards are offered with large sums of money. Knowing that people from the Murong Clan can change their faces, the guards have to check their faces when they meet people with a matching body or abnormal eyes like Murong Tai.
Murong Zhe did not dare to take this risk, and finally told her to finally come up with a plan. After disguising, he mixed into the military prostitute camp, followed the army sent by Beixia to Chang'an to fight against Xijin, successfully arrived in Longxi, and then escaped. Worrying about Murong Ti's injury, lest it would affect his escape, he gathered dozens of old men, turned around on the way he might pass, and searched for his traces, and gradually came to this area.
Finally today, she saw the fireworks in this direction from a distance, so she led a team to come to see what happened.
I didn't even have high expectations. Unexpectedly, she had nowhere to look after stepping through the iron shoes, and she was so called to find someone.
She hurried to the front, and saw her brother lying on the ground, the blood on his head and face solidified, his face was like golden paper, and he was slowly opening his eyes. He seemed to have just woken up, and he couldn't help but be angry. , treated him, and asked, "Brother, who hurt you like this? Tell me, I'm going to tear him to pieces!"
Murong closed his eyes for a moment, then Fang opened his eyes with a gloomy face, stood up, and said, "Follow me to catch someone."
As the sun went down, the light in the wilderness became more and more dim.
The wild wind blew so fast that the grass swayed from side to side, making bursts of rustling noises.
Luoshen hid in the grass, and through the gap between the weeds, from a distance, he saw the silhouettes of the group of people appearing in sight, moving towards his direction and slowly wrapping them up.
Although the current person is still shadowy and can't see clearly, but based on the feeling, it should be Murong Ti, there is nothing wrong.
At this moment, she was extremely regretful.
She only thought that Li Mu might be chasing her way, so she lit the beacon and wanted to give him directions.
She didn't think that Li Mu might see it, and others might see it too.
She shouldn't be soft-hearted, she is in such a situation, and she still holds the heart of luck and can't kill people.
Yesterday, she should have made a few more cuts while this Xianbei person passed out. Not to mention, another missed opportunity.
But regret it, it's too late.
Murong Ti and his group of accomplices attracted by the fireworks were getting closer.
Luoshen could already hear their shouts in Xianbei language, and saw Murong Ti's gloomy face covered in blood.
She suppressed the regret in her heart, turned around, and was about to flee into the depths of the grass, when suddenly, the sound of horses neighed in the wind.
This neighing sound...
She seemed familiar.
Her heartbeat quickened again, as if beating a small drum, thump thump, thump, almost burst her chest.
She turned her head sharply, ripped open the grass, opened her eyes wide, and stared at the direction of the voice without blinking.
it is true. Not her hallucinations.
Not far away, on the horizon at the top of the hilltop, in the last twilight of the horizon, without warning, a group of dozens of people suddenly appeared.
They rode their horses and galloped in this direction.
gradually approached. Luoshen also saw the appearance of the rider in front.
A horse is a dwarf.
The person on the horse is Li Mu.
Her husband, at this moment, finally arrived.
The moment she recognized his face, her emotions collapsed, and tears poured out of her eyes like a lake that suddenly burst its banks.
She raised her hand and kept wiping away her tears, lest her eyes blurred by the tears would lose sight of Lang Jun, who came over to her.
She got up from the ground, and was about to get out of the grass and run towards him, when suddenly, her body froze again, and she stopped in place, motionless.
…
Li Mu has been searching hard for many days in this wilderness.
He took a few spirit dogs borrowed from Hou Li, accompanied by Hou Li, who was familiar with canine nature, and carried clothes that retained her breath, and embarked on the long road of pursuit.
Every so often, let him find some residual traces after someone stopped, and the next moment, these traces disappeared without a trace.
It's going very poorly. Even the group of spirit dogs, whom Hou Li was most proud of, had trouble moving forward and made mistakes several times.
Li Mu had to divide the people who were brought out into several parts, and follow the general direction of the north, in all places that Murongdi might pass by, and start a carpet-like recourse. At the same time, three beacon smokes were lit, and those who saw it passed on and sent messages.
For many days, he has never seen Fengyan, and he has not made great progress here.
It is farther and farther away from Yicheng, and further forward, it is the boundary of Longxi.
Once Murong Tei entered Longxi, the population was dense, and the traces would be even more difficult to find.
He knew that Murong Wei would not easily hurt her life. But as long as she thinks of the horror and despair she may be suffering these days, Li Mu's anger, fear, and self-blame will expand a bit.
As long as she doesn't return for a day, he will pursue her. Even if he chased after the Murong Clan's old nest, Longcheng, he would not stop.
Just two days ago, the spirit dog finally took him to this area with the traces of feces left by the horses on the road.
However, after a short period of excitement, the spirit dog quickly stopped before a stream and lost its direction.
But Li Mu knew that not long ago, she was very likely to appear here.
It is with such a thought that for the past two days, he has not slept and pursued, until today, just as the day is about to disappear again, in the endless detours and twists, in the alternation of hope and disappointment again and again. Under the torture, suddenly, at the end of the wilderness, in the sky in the distance, there seems to be a plume of smoke rising.
Not the signal he and his subordinates agreed to.
At that moment, he didn't even think about it, that was the message she sent him.
But why didn't he take a closer look?
Just like that, he took these dozens of followers and arrived here when the plume of smoke completely dissipated.
At a glance, he saw Murong Ti and the group of Xianbei warriors beside him.
And for his sudden appearance, the other party was obviously caught off guard.
After a brief exchange of eyes, with an order from Murong Zhe, the Xianbei warriors quickly gathered back and blocked Murong in the middle.
The worries of day and night, and the pitiful sleep, called Li Mu's eyes, which were already bloodshot.
At this moment, his eyes were even more bulging, as evil as a canthus.
Without a half-sentence of superfluous words, his eyes shot a fierce light, and he pulled out the knife on his waist that was stained with the blood of the enemy that had not been washed away. The human wall in front of Murong moved towards Murong in the middle.
Murong Zhe was shocked by what he saw.
She had never seen such fierce force and terrifying suffocation in a person.
She knew that my brother, despite his femininity in appearance, was quite powerful in force. He was only ten years old, and he had already started commanding the army, attacking cities and territories for Dayan, and he was a warrior among warriors.
But with just one glance, she understood.
Not to mention that Brother A is injured at the moment, even if he is not injured, he is definitely not the opponent of the man in front of him.
"Brother! Go!"
With a sharp whistle, she summoned the Murong Clan's dead men to surround them again, and used her life to trap the enemy. She got on the horse, drove the other one, rushed to Murong Ti's side like lightning, and dragged him onto the horse's back. to flee into the wilderness.
Li Mu slashed the block in front of him with a knife, stood up from the saddle, stepped on the saddle, shouted violently, kicked his feet, and the whole person flew up from Wu's back, like an eagle, pounced on Murong in front of him.
The two tumbled to the ground from their horses.
Murong Zhe turned around, pale in shock, and watched Li Mu grab his brother from the ground and hold it in his hands.
"My wife, where is she?" He stared at Murong Ti and asked word by word.
Murong Wei's long hair was messy, his forehead was covered with dry blood, and he was embarrassed.
He looked at Li Mu, but said nothing.
"Li Mu! Your woman is in our hands! It's hidden in a place no one can find at the moment! If you dare to hurt my brother, you won't want to see her again!"
Murong Zhe stopped his horse, turned around, and shouted sharply at the back in front of him.
The corners of Li Mu's eyes twitched slightly.
"Crack" sound.
Accompanied by a crisp bone cracking sound, he twisted one of Murong Ti's arms.
Murong Zhe was startled, screamed and opened his eyes suddenly.
Murong shrugged one shoulder abruptly, and the completely abolished arm hung down weakly, like a broken branch that would fall at any moment.
"I ask you again, my lady, where is she?"
Li Mu's steely five fingers pinched on his other arm again, looking at him gloomily.
Murong's face was pale, and cold sweat rolled down from his forehead in an instant, but he tightly closed his lips and remained silent.
Li Mu slowly tightened his fingers.
Blue veins on the back of the hand, a sudden erection.
Murong Zhe knew that he was going to abolish Murong Ti's other arm again, his heart was cold, he shouted "stop", got off the horse, almost rolled and crawled, jumped at the man's feet, and caught him. one of his feet.
"Please, let my brother go! Your wife, we don't know where she is at the moment! She beat my brother like this and ran away! We were looking for her just before you came! She should Won't run far! Nearby!"
"What I said is true! You have abolished my brother's hand, please, let him go! He didn't hurt your wife a single hair!"
Murong Zhe hugged his feet tightly and looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
Li Mu looked away from the flowery face that was looking up at him with tears under his feet. With blood dripping from his eyes, he looked around the surrounding fields, and suddenly shouted: "Ami, where are you? Can you hear?"
"I am your prince Li Mu!"
The sound of calling, along with the evening wild wind, scattered into the four fields.
Luo Shenren was in Cao Dang, and he had seen Li Mu long ago, but he could only watch helplessly, not to mention running out at this moment, he didn't even dare to take a breath.
A moment ago, when she was about to run towards Li Mu, she suddenly saw a white tiger lying on a haystack just a few meters away from her.
This is a little white tiger that looks underage, with snow-white body and black hair on the neck, as if wearing a necklace.
It's not as big as an adult tiger, but it doesn't look small either. Standing up, it is estimated that at least Luoshen's waist is high, and his claws are sharp and his teeth are sharp.
It seems to have noticed Luoshen long ago, but perhaps it was full and did not rush over immediately, but kept lying there, tilting its head and sticking out its pink barbed tongue, licking lazily. Claws, while opening its two round tiger eyes, staring at Luoshen.
Just now, she got up from the ground and was about to come out, when the white tiger seemed to have sensed her intentions, and followed suit, propping up its front paws, straightening its upper body, baring its teeth, as if it was about to pounce on her. Come.
Seeing that Luoshen was still and motionless, it seemed to relax, and slowly lay back, continuing to tilt its neck, licking its paws, and staring at her.
The air in Cao Dangli was sultry, Luoshen and the white tiger were stalemate, hot and afraid, sweating profusely, his legs were trembling, and he couldn't hold it any longer. When he felt like he was about to faint, suddenly, he heard Li Mu calling out to him. The voice of , followed the wild wind, and the sound of the swaying grass blades swaying in the depths of the grass.
"Lang Jun, I'm here—"
Luoshen was in her heart, she didn't know how many times she had called, but she didn't dare to speak or move.
A drop of hot sweat dripped down her delicate red nose.
The little white tiger seemed to be irritated by this abnormal sound, and suddenly stood up from the haystack, raised the tiger's neck, and let out a thick and majestic tiger roar, as if it was a response to his provocation, and then took a step forward. , walking towards Luoshen.
Luoshen's scalp was numb in an instant, rushed out of the grass, exhausted his strength to suckle, and screamed: "Langjun, I'm here! Help me—"
She spread her legs and rushed forward desperately. She tripped her feet and fell to the ground. How could she recover her posture and rolled down the grassy **** like a ball.
Li Mu turned his head, his eyes suddenly shot a strange light, a flying body, on the back of Wuxian, Wuxian galloped towards the front like a bolt of lightning.
In the distance, he saw the figure of a woman rolling down the hillside in front of the grass.
Behind her, a white tiger was chasing.
With a roar, he quickly bent over and took out a bow and arrow from a bag hanging on Wu's side.
Wu Wei was still moving forward at full speed. He drew a bow and an arrow, and was about to send out an arrow of thunder in his hand, but the white tiger suddenly stopped chasing and stood at the head of the slope, staring at Luoshen who was screaming and rolling down in front of him, crooked. Holding his head, there seemed to be a curious and puzzled look in his eyes.
"Censor Li, be merciful! It doesn't mean to hurt anyone, I can see it—"
Hou Li, who was just attracted by the sound of the tiger's roar, saw it, his eyes lit up, he desperately chased after him, and shouted loudly.
Hearing the sound, the little white tiger raised his head and stared at Hou Li, who was running towards him, his eyes instantly turned fierce, and a few low-pitched roars sounded like a threat in his throat, turned around, and jumped quickly, and his figure disappeared in the grass. .
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief, and rode his horse to the foot of Gangpo, flew down, and rushed towards the woman who was still rolling, stretched out his arms, and pulled her into his arms.
