Chapter 182 You are a general
Qin Yunxuan also cooperated by pushing the sword forward a little. Rong Heqing had no choice but to raise her head. Before the sharp sword energy touched her skin, she felt a slight stinging pain.
If this sword really cut her throat, how painful would it be?
Even at such a critical moment, Rong Heqing still had the leisure to laugh at himself.
Jirik raised his voice and said, "Did you hear that? Didn't they say that Prince Duan and the Princess had a very good relationship? Now it seems that it's just like that."
"You can continue to attack. You can see whether your arrow is faster or the military advisor's sword is faster!"
"It's a good opportunity to let the soldiers of Dajing see how cold-blooded and heartless a man is who can even kill his own wife. You risk your lives for him, but who knows if he won't abandon you in the same way in the future?"
"Shut up!" An Shicheng was furious. It was obvious that Jirike was trying to sow discord and shake their military morale.
If Prince Duan did not choose a princess, he would spread the word that Prince Duan was heartless and disloyal.
If Prince Duan chose the princess, he could say that Prince Duan only cared about his children's personal affairs, had no sense of family and country, and ignored the common people!
No matter what he chooses, it's a losing game.
What happened today will surely become a thorn in the hearts of the people and the emperor, and the future of the Queen will be completely ruined in the future!
An Shicheng was so anxious that he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Yunxian's expression.
Maybe it was because he was extremely angry, but Qin Yunxian had no expression on his face, not even a hint of emotion.
He just stared at Jirike and Rong Heqing beside him.
An Shicheng followed his gaze and saw Rong Heqing smile.
There was an uproar on the city wall, and the soldiers were whispering to each other, all caught in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, our current military strength is no less than Jirik's. Let's just charge in and take the princess back!"
"How did you rob her? You angered Jirik. Before the soldiers rushed out, Qin Yunxuan's sword had already cut the princess' neck!"
"What should we do? Do we really have to ask the prince and General An to surrender? What about the people?"
"What we're most afraid of is that after we surrender, they change their minds, kill the prince, princess, and General An, and then rush back into the city. Then we'll really be criminals!"
Everyone started arguing, but no conclusion was reached.
But in fact, everyone knew that the best way was to kill the princess, and then they would fight their way out and fight Jirik head-on.
But no one dared to say this idea out loud. Everyone looked at each other with a worried look on their faces.
But Jirik's people were still shouting, "Why haven't you chosen yet? What is Prince Duan hesitating about? Don't you have the courage to be a real man?"
Chu Suifeng gritted his teeth, snatched the arrow from the soldier next to him, and pointed it at the person who spoke.
Qin Yunxian held his arm and pressed down his hand.
Chu Suifeng suddenly turned around, "My Lord!"
Qin Yunxian seemed expressionless, but if you got closer, you would find that his jawline was tense and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. "Don't act rashly."
Chu Suifeng's heart moved and he slowly put down the bow and arrow.
"Ji Ri Ke, why should I trust you?"
Qin Yunxian finally spoke.
Rong Heqing's eyes fixed.
Jirik said proudly: "Do you have any other choice but to believe me now? Either you believe me, or -"
He gave Qin Yunxuan a look, and Qin Yunxuan moved his sword closer.
"hiss--"
Rong Heqing felt pain, and a thin line of blood immediately appeared on his neck, and the blood slowly slid down his sword.
Qin Yunxian's face suddenly darkened, "He Qing——"
"Your Majesty!" Rong Heqing did not retreat but advanced, looking up at Qin Yunxian, "I originally wanted to say a lot more to you, but it's too late."
The implication of these words made Qin Yunxian feel cold in his heart, "No——"
"I never thought that one day, Rong and Qing would become bargaining chips on the battlefield for others to choose from."
Her voice was clear and loud, instantly drowning out Qin Yunxian's words.
"I was born into a military family. My father was a great general who guarded a region. Now that I am married, my husband is also a commander who gallops on the battlefield. They are born fearless and have a clear conscience."
"And you, a bunch of scoundrels, resort to these inferior methods when you can't win. How ridiculous! In the history books of the future, you will be infamous for eternity."
Jirik's face turned pale, "Shut up—"
Rong Heqing glanced at him contemptuously, then looked back at Qin Yunxian. His eyes suddenly softened, reluctant, yet very determined.
"You are a general and a prince. You should not go against your conscience and abandon your responsibilities for anyone. Behind you is Dajing and tens of thousands of innocent people."
"From the beginning to the end today, there was no so-called choice."
"This situation should not be broken by you."
"In this world, one should live as a hero and die as a ghost hero. I have no regrets. Prince, remember to avenge me!"
The vision in front of him gradually became blurred. Rong Heqing closed his eyes, and with lightning speed, he grabbed Qin Yunxuan's sword and slashed it across his neck!
Qin Yunxuan was shocked and wanted to take the sword back, but Rong Heqing held it tightly and refused to let go even when his palm was cut and bloody. The sharp blade cut his throat, and the moment was so fast that Rong Heqing did not feel any pain, just a little cold.
Then it became hot again, and something rushed out. She realized belatedly that it was her blood.
She was full of passion to serve her country, but she never expected that she would become a hero one day.
The severe pain came like a wave, and Rong Heqing's eyes suddenly went dark. She wanted to say something, but no sound came out. The blood was flowing back, and her breathing became more and more difficult.
She lost her strength and support and slowly slid off the horse.
Both armies were shocked, heaven and earth were solemn, no one spoke, no one expected Ronghe Qingzhen to be so resolute and brave!
In the dead silence, Qin Yunxian's heart-wrenching cry resounded through the heavens and the earth, "He Qing!!!"
This cry brought everyone back to life, and Chu Suifeng and the others cried out in pain.
"princess--"
"Princess!"
"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Kill! The princess has made the choice for us. In today's battle, we can only win and not lose!" An Shicheng's eyes turned red, he clenched his knife, turned around and rushed out.
Qin Yunxuan stared blankly at the sword in his hand. The blood-red color on it was dazzling. His head was buzzing. He subconsciously reached out to grab Rong Heqing, but his fingers missed. He watched Rong Heqing fall off his horse. At the moment before his death, Rong Heqing looked at him with a smile, his lips trembling, and said silently: You lose.
Jirik cursed, "Fuck! Damn it!"
"Go, go, go!"
He gave the order and was about to rush over. Qin Yunxuan beside him suddenly raised his head. His hands were shaking violently, veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot. He looked very scary, but no one noticed him at the moment.
Jirik's soldiers hesitated, feeling a little uncomfortable as they looked at Rong Heqing lying on the ground.
Jirike turned his head and was about to say something when he saw a flash of silver light in front of his eyes and his neck suddenly felt cold.
He looked up in disbelief and met Qin Yunxuan's ferocious eyes.
The next moment, his eyes became angry again.
He held his right hand with his left hand, as if his body was out of control.
