The woman stepped on the steps, and the three thousand armored soldiers retreated in unison. Every time she took a step, the three thousand armored soldiers had to take a step back.
Everyone was silent in front of her, she was clearly a lonely person, but she called these thousands of armored soldiers like a great enemy.
She leaned her head back, the green silk scattered all over her body, her eyes cold, her robe stained with blood, and the blade of her sword hanging down to the ground.
At his feet were several corpses, the top of his head was a piercing red silk, and he was surrounded by three thousand armored soldiers.
The groom looked up and greeted him: "Rong Hua, this corpse mountain and blood sea, is it a congratulatory gift you sent me?" ”
"Are you worthy?"
"Why are you here?"
"Debt collection."
Rong Hua raised his sword slightly, and the sword qi struck the threshold, the red silk was broken inch by inch, and the word "囍" was scattered on the ground.
"Rong Hua." Zi Wang grinned, barely pulled out a smile, and his eyes were dull, "I really hope that you are here to rob the kiss." ”
The guests in the audience were all panicked and shrunken.
Rong Hua suddenly asked, "Why are you so afraid of me?" ”
No one answered her, but Rong Hua saw another person's shadow in their eyes.
Rong Hua smiled, "Yes, it is not me that you are afraid of, it is the person who has passed on my martial arts." Seeing me reminds you of him? ”
She laughed so arrogantly that she didn't pay any attention to the thousand-man armored soldier at all, as if she were still the arrogant young general.

A year ago, the border of Liangguo.
The wind is cold and the night is dark.
The lights in the military tent were bright, and Rong Hua knelt on the ground and looked up at Xie Chen, his eyes full of stubbornness: "The last general is guilty, please punish the commander." ”
Xie Chen sat high on the podium and closed his eyes.
Rong Hua thought that Xie Chen should hate her.
It was she who brought Back Ziwang, despite Xie Chen's persuasion to let Ziwang be her deputy general, so that Ziwang had the opportunity to steal the deployment map of liangguo military aircraft, so that Xie Chen ate the first defeat in his life.
The complaining people outside the military tent were angry and the voice was harsh.
Some people said that the Yongguo general in this confrontation was General Rong Hua's lover, who deliberately released water, and some people said that Xie Shuai did not want to defend the good country for a long time, and wished that the Yongguo people would come in early. How hard it is to swear.
Anger instantly surged into Rong Hua's heart.
She could tolerate others slandering her, slandering her, and insulting her, but she could not tolerate these people slandering Xie Chen so much.
She has been with Xie Chen since she was a child, knowing what Xie Chen has done to protect this broken mountain and river, Xie Chen joined the army at an early age, and used his thin back to prop up a piece of peace for the people of liangguo in the chaotic world.
Today, these people, who are carefully protected by Xie Chen, have reduced his sincerity to nothing.
But Rong Hua couldn't do anything.
It was she who threw Xie Chen's dignity and pride to the ground.
Rong Hua slammed down heavily, her forehead touched the cold and hard ground, and she made a muffled sound, and she shouted loudly: "This matter is all caused by the mistake of the last general to believe in people, and the last general is willing to bear it with all his might, but ask the commander for mercy, so that the last general will die on the battlefield." ”
Xie Chen looked at her coldly: "The emperor's orders cannot be violated." ”
The Holy Father has issued an edict that Rong Hua will return to Beijing and behead him to show the public as an example.

Rong Hua did not expect that Xie Chen personally escorted her.
RongHua nene asked: "How did you come, does it matter if the war is going on?" ”
Xie Chen said, "There will be no war for a month." I came to send you, I can still talk on the road, and it is also a friendship of so many years. ”
Rong Hua no longer spoke.
To this day, what can be said?
The Liangguo dynasty was corrupt and had always been rampant in banditry, but he did not want to be rampant to Xie Shuai now.
Xie Chen and his party went to the pine forest, and a large number of bandits rushed down from the mountains and quickly surrounded them.
The bandit didn't say a word, and came up with a knife and slashed.
Most of the bandits gathered on Xie Chen's side, and Xie Chen struggled to cope with it, and he also had to protect Rong Hua's prison car, and he lacked skills. After a while, they broke up with the large army and were forced to the edge of the cliff.
Rong Hua said urgently, "Xie Chen, you will let me out!" ”
Xie Chen gritted his teeth, the sword blade cut through the chains of the prison car, Rong Hua was just free, a large knife slashed at the front door, Rong Hua retreated backwards, but his feet stepped on the air, and his body fell rapidly.
Rong Hua was shocked, and a large palm grabbed her wrist. Xie Chen crawled on the ground, dragging her to death.
Rong Hua roared, "Let go! ”
Xie Chen suddenly smiled, and his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.
His body fell with Rong Hua.
During the fall, Rong Hua felt that Xie Chen had wrapped his arms around her and reached out to protect the top of her head.
Xie Chen said, "Don't be afraid. ”
The tip of Rong Hua's nose was sour, and he almost shed tears.
In front of the old house, she stole a few steamed buns and was beaten badly, and when she saw this teenager who was like a spring breeze, he said: "Don't be afraid, brother will take you home." ”

"Girl, you're awake."
Rong Hua woke up again, in front of a strange face, she subconsciously guarded, the soreness of her body struck, she "hissed" and fell back on the bed.
"The girl should rest well and must not move." The eldest lady reprimanded her with a straight face, but her eyes looked in the other direction: "How to talk to a virtue of that bed." ”
Rong Hua followed her gaze, and Xie Chen lay on the bed, looking at her, his face a little helpless.
"That prince was so badly injured than you, and you landed on the beach, just in time to be saved by the mouth of my family." It's not the eldest lady who says you, what can't you think of when you're young, you have to be martyred! ”
Rong Hua's small face was blushing with shame.
After resting for ten days, Rong Hua could get out of bed. Xie Chen was still seriously injured.
Xie Chen would be so hurt so badly in order to protect her. Rong Hua felt guilty in his heart and took good care of Xie Chen.
The small village is peaceful and peaceful, and the bloody rain and wind outside, the soldiers and horses are chaotic, all have nothing to do with here.
It's just that Rong Hua is suffering from his sins, and he always has to leave this side of the world and go to the battlefield to atone for his sins.
Until Xie Chen was well, it had already passed a month.
As the war began approaching, Rong Hua was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Xie Chen several times when he would return.
Xie Chen did not answer, and each time he picked some other topics to skim over.
Rong Hua couldn't help but wonder, is Xie Chenmo coveting the beauty of this place, and wants to pick a son and not do it?
But she was wrong.
On this day, Ronghua woke up and found herself tied to a stool, Xie Chen stood in front of her, her face was endlessly lonely, and her eyes were tight and gentle: "I have discussed with the eldest lady, wait for this war to pass, and then let you go, these days, wronged you." ”
Rong Hua understood everything in an instant.
She struggled fiercely, but her body was soft and weak.
Rong Hua stared at Xie Chen deadly, and the blood in his eyes surged: "You arranged the bandits, and the fall off the cliff was also designed by you, Xie Chen... I should have damned it, why are you? ”
Xie Chen just looked at her tenderly and did not speak.
The anger gradually extinguished, leaving only the embers full of sorrow.
Teardrops slid down his cheeks, and Rong Hua stared at Xie Chen, almost pleading: "Let's run away, everywhere is fine, don't care about liangguo." I beg you to thank you, you are selfish for yourself, okay? ”
Xie Chen stroked the top of Rong Hua's hair with a big palm and issued a soft sigh: "I was born as a general of liangguo, and I died as a heroic martyr of liangguo, and I have to go on this trip." You are not a good countryman, as soon as this battle is over, you will leave, go to see the outside world, and stop being bound to this square world. ”
He was so lonely that he left his only obstacle in the paradise.
"Thanks! If you dare to step out of the village, I will hate you to death! You stand still... Brother..."
Rong Hua cried bitterly, and the tears burned his cheeks.
Xie Chen did not look back.
The sun shadow gilded him with a layer of golden glow, and the birds chirped, as if they were singing a magnificent song.
During the recuperation, they analyzed the situation, and after this battle, the good country will perish.
He was going to die.

Seven days had passed since Xie Chen left to when the eldest lady untied the rope for Rong Hua.
Seven days later, the battlefield was only the smoke and wasteland and the corpses on the ground, and Rong Hua rummaged like crazy, rising from the rising sun to the west of the sun. She was covered in blood and too tired to stand up.
That's it. Rong Hua thought, maybe Xie Chen is not dead.
Dust flies, horseshoes sound from far and near.
Zi Wang sat on horseback and stopped in front of her, behind her was a group of elite guards.
Rong Hua's pupils shrank sharply, his heart clenched, and he could hardly breathe.
She saw... Thanks... corpse. His eyes were closed, his armor was shattered, and his face was still dripping with undried blood.
Zi Wang turned over and dismounted, carrying the corpse and falling in front of Rong Hua, he crouched down and stared at the embarrassed woman in front of him: "I heard from my subordinates that you are coming, and I specially brought him to see you, Rong Hua, are you moved?" ”
Rong Hua grabbed Zi Wang's hem: "You... Can you, put him... Give me. ”
The voice was hoarse and hardly like his own.
Zi Wang smiled playfully: "Yes, you beg me." ”
Rong Hua seemed to see the light. She lowered her spine: "I begged you to look at him, you took him... Give it back. ”
The once humble body is now humble to dust.
Zi Wang suddenly became furious, pulled away Rong Hua's hand that was pulling at the hem of his clothes, and got up and retreated.
"Are you really begging me for him?!"
The sword blade came out of its sheath, Rong Hua saw a cold glow in front of her, and Xie Chen's head rolled in front of her.
Rong Hua's eyes widened in horror, his breathing stopped for a few seconds, and then he cried out in a broken voice: "Bastard! How dare you! How dare you! ”
She rushed to ziwang like a madman.
Old wounds were on his body, and Rong Hua was restrained by the guards before he could get close.
Zi Wang turned indifferently and slowly wiped the blood on the blade of his sword.
"Hang Xie Shuai's head on the city wall to show the public, and take her to prison, without ben's permission, no one else is allowed to visit."
Rong Hua felt that he was dead.
In a trance, she also heard Zi Wang say, "I know that he is your hero, and you want him to die with dignity, so I will not give him dignity." ”

On December days, it was always colder in prison than elsewhere.
Rong Hua was chained to the torture rack, and his heart had frozen into ice.
She was deposed from martial arts.
"Bar-hmm"...
Footsteps sounded, and the golden thread boots reflected in Rong Hua's eyes, even if she didn't look up, she knew who was coming.
"Rong Hua." Tonight's ziwang had a mild face, and he actually recalled the past, "Do you remember how we met?" ”
Rong Hua sneered, "How can you not remember?" At that time, you first showed the art of Qimen Dunjia, your identity was doubted, you knelt on the ground and listened to the fall, and I vouched for you to take you back to the barracks. I had no eyes, and I thought I had found a pure and intelligent military master, but I didn't expect it to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. ”
She said so hatefully, but Zi Wang didn't care.
He chuckled softly, and with one hand he squeezed Rong Hua's jaw, forcing her to look at himself: "At that time, you only had Xie Chen in your eyes, and now that Xie Chen is gone, you can only see me." ”
"So what? You have a face comparable to his. Rong Hua sneered, "A despicable villain who relies on intrigue and trickery." Do you deserve it too? ”
Rong Hua's eyes were empty, and she looked at him, but she couldn't see him.
Zi Wang's heart suddenly felt a wave of sorrow, and he slammed open Rong Hua's jaw and strode out of the prison.
When he saw Zi Wang again, Rong Hua couldn't remember how long it had been.
Zi Wang did not enter, but just stood at the entrance of the cell staring at her from a distance.
"I'm getting married." Zi Wang said.
Rong Hua smiled, "Yes, that girl is really unlucky." ”
Rong Hua waited for Zi Wang's next anger and irritability, but there was nothing, Zi Wang just took a deep look at her and turned away.
Sent away Zi Wang, and welcomed another guest.
Rong Hua did not recognize the girl in front of him, but he remembered this face.
This girl always went to the prison after Ziwang left, hiding in the doorway and looking at Rong Hua, with burning hatred in her eyes.
"I am princess of Yongguo. Tomorrow, I will marry my son. She opened the door, "I can let you out." ”
Rong Hua was not impressed. She has lost her country, lost her martial arts, and has long been reduced to a waste, what can she do when she goes out?
The princess held the Dan Pill in her right hand and handed it to Rong Hua, "This is a thousand dans, and eating it can allow you to restore all your martial arts, but you can only live for two more hours." Eat it, you can go to the son to seek revenge, eat or not eat, you choose. ”
Rong Hua's dim eyes instantly brightened.
She asked the princess in a dumb voice, "Why are you helping me?" ”
The princess said, "I hate him." I love him so much, but he only has you in his eyes, do you know why he married me? Because the day of your execution is approaching, he and my brother have agreed that if you marry me, you will be able to save your life. It was he who trampled on my heart, and he deserved to die. ”

Blood paved the front steps, Rong Hua slowly stepped onto the last step, three thousand armor soldiers moved in unison, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Rong Hua.
Zi Wang scolded, "All back off!" ”
The corners of Rong Hua's lips slowly spilled dark red blood.
Zi Wang's eyes were full of sorrow, and he lost his voice and choked: "You have taken a thousand dans." ”
"Why? There are a hundred and ten ways to restore martial arts, why do you want to exchange a thousand for Dan? Rong Hua, don't you want to live? ”
Rong Hua smiled: "Live or not, I have the final say." ”
He forced her to be so cruel that she had to choose such a tragic way to end.
Three thousand armored soldiers no longer obeyed the order, and burst into harmony with each other, killing and pouring in.
Rong Hua did not retreat but advanced, and the blood-colored figure merged into the sonorous silver armor, like a red plum in the snow.
She held her sword in both hands, and everywhere she went, there were rivers of blood, and she was full of eyes and only wanted revenge.
Zi Wang called out to her, "Today you come to ask for your life, and I will give it to you." I am satisfied to die with you. ”
The remaining armor soldiers finally stopped pouring up, and Rong Hua raised his sword to Zi Wang's body and slapped it on Zi Wang's heart.
She said softly, "You think beautifully." ”
Zi Wang's heart pulse was broken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zi Wang held out his hand, but he didn't even catch the corner of Rong Hua's clothes.
Rong Hua turned her back on him and went away, she had exhausted her warmth in this life, and even her back was cold.
The elite guards hiding in the shadows were waiting for the opportunity to move, and the princess under the hijab shouted, "Don't move!" Let her go! ”
The princess lifted the hijab and crouched down in front of Zi Wang, she looked at Zi Wang, and the love and hatred in her eyes were intertwined: "She only has two hours of life left, and she is angry to kill here, and she still has to leave with a strong breath." Zi Wang, you see, she doesn't even want to die with you. ”
Zi Wang covered his heart and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Rong Hua didn't know where she was going, the vitality passed little by little, and she finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
The slanting sun fell, and the man seemed to be standing in it, his face full of warm smiles like a spring breeze, just like then.
Rong Hua held out his hand and slowly reached the afterimage.
"Brother, here I am."
