MLIAM Chapter 42
by VolareYu Shuli curled his lip. Facing Lü Fang’s intimidation, he wasn’t afraid at all, and even smiled: “Threatening me? Lü Fang, I’m not afraid of death, I’m not a coward like you.”
His dagger flew in his sleeve, saying words of wanting to die, but in reality, he was ready to take advantage of the unpreparedness, and kill Lü Fang with one strike.
In the winter, the cold wind was icy, and the exhaled hot air condensed into a white mist, entangled on the city tower.
Lü Fang’s hand clenched tighter and tighter. “Negotiate! I want to negotiate!”
Yu Shuli’s eyes rolled back from being strangled, and everything in front of him began to blur. He held his breath and stabbed towards Lü Fang.
With a “Puff” sound, the sharp blade entered the flesh, but Lü Fang seemed completely unaware.
Yu Shuli pulled out the dagger, ready to stab again.
The blood on Lü Fang’s chest immediately stained Yu Shuli’s clothes, congealing into blood clots, sticking to his hands, and cooling into a piece.
Lü Fang’s hand on his neck also tightened, he did not dodge or evade the blade, desperately wanting to strangle the neck in his hand, unexpectedly wanting to die together with Yu Shuli. “Since your Da Liang wants to sacrifice you, then you will accompany me to hell!”
The Xizhao army on the city tower also rushed over, making the final dying struggle.
Dai Meng’s expression changed. He took out the sleeve arrow from his hand again. He aimed at Lü Fang’s neck and was about to shoot it out when he found the right time.
The heavy breathing, entangled with the white mist of hot air, could not tell whether it came from Lü Fang or Yu Shuli.
The Da Liang army fought with the remaining Xizhao soldiers under the city tower, wanting to rush over to save Yu Shuli.
The rapid sense of suffocation penetrated the nasal cavity and reached the brain. Yu Shuli’s dagger finally couldn’t hold it, and it fell to the ground with a “clang” before he could stab the second knife.
Maybe it was a flash before death.
He suddenly remembered that Wei Yan seemed to be waiting for him in Quzhou.
It seems like he lied to him.
There were two more clear and cold frosts on his face for some reason, and Lü Fang’s face gradually blurred in his vision.
“Negotiate? Are you worthy?”
Along with the cold voice falling, a sharp blade sound cut through the cold air and came through the air.
The person who did it was bold and skillful, daring to shoot arrows when Yu Shuli and Lü Fang were fighting and struggling, and the arrow happened to go straight to Lü Fang’s heart.
Not a single bit off.
The strength on Yu Shuli’s neck suddenly disappeared.
He coughed a few times, squatted on the ground, Lü Fang fell straight down in front of him, his eyes wide open unwillingly, with a feathered arrow stuck in his back.
It was stuck in the position of the heart.
Yu Shuli didn’t remember that there was such a highly skilled archer in his army, who could aim at the timing without procrastination and kill with one blow.
He supported his discomfort and stood up, and in the sky full of frost, he met the deep and focused gaze.
The hair of the person who came was messy, and his face was pale from the cold wind. The cloak was draped over his shoulders, looking broad and reliable.
He stepped through thousands of winds and snows, returned to his side again, and rescued him from danger.
Yu Shuli murmured: “Wei Yan…”
Snowflakes flew, like petals scattered down, his pupils were fixed at the moment when the two looked at each other, as if he had lost consciousness, and only this person not far away was left in front of him.
The pain on his body seemed to disappear in an instant.
Yu Shuli leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were unconsciously a little wet, and various complex emotions flooded into his heart.
Before he could react to what it was, Wei Yan raised his hand and made a gesture to him under the city gate, signaling him to squat down.
Yu Shuli was not pretentious, and when he understood, he pulled the soldiers around him and suddenly lay down.
Wei Yan said loudly: “Archers ready, attack the city!”
Behind him, thousands of archers shot arrows together, and the Xizhao army in the city tower, including the archers who didn’t come out, were shot into sieves one by one.
When Yu Shuli looked up, the entire city tower had fallen into silence.
The blood and chaotic emotions all over his body finally solidified at this moment.
The uneasiness disappeared.
Maybe it was a moment of relaxation, and at this time he felt a sharp pain in his throat, as if thousands of needles were piercing at the same time, and the dizziness not only did not dissipate, but intensified.
He stood up, stepped over the bloody corpses, wanting to walk down the city, but his body finally broke through the load and suddenly fell down.
A pair of hands reached out to hold him steady.
Yu Shuli looked up and only vaguely saw a shadow. “Wei Yan, I want to take the soldiers back…”
“I know…don’t worry.”
The person who came hugged him horizontally, blocking all the wind and frost, his voice had both a heavy coldness and an unconcealable heartache: “Sleep if you are tired.”
Yu Shuli felt endless warmth in his heart, as if the surrounding air had become soft together, and he closed his eyes with peace of mind.
*
When he woke up again, Yu Shuli found himself nestled in warm brocade quilts, and the air was filled with the lingering smell of sleeping incense.
He frowned, opened his eyes, and a person next to him immediately walked over, “Awake?”
The man’s mouth was tightly pursed, forming a cold arc, and there was no smile on his face.
The tenderness that Yu Shuli touched before fainting seemed to be just an illusion.
Yu Shuli turned his head, just about to say something, but found that his neck was cool, as if he had been applied medicine.
He opened his mouth, and only then did he realize that his throat was terribly hot.
Wei Yan handed over a cup of hot medicine, his voice still cold: “Drink it.”
Yu Shuli took it, glanced at Wei Yan’s face, and silently drank the medicine.
After a bowl of medicine, his throat felt much better, but the voice he opened was still hoarse: “Wei Yan, why did you come to Rongcheng?”
“If you have the mind to care about me, it’s better to care about yourself.” Wei Yan’s words were sharp and mean: “General Yu, teach me, who gave you the courage to recklessly mix into their Xizhao barracks?”
“But I took their lair…”
Yu Shuli only said a few words, Wei Yan turned his head and walked out.
Yu Shuli, who was originally confident, pursed his lips, looking at the room that instantly fell into silence, he only felt full of grievances and loss.
After a while, Wei Yan came in carrying a food table, with a bowl of hot porridge and a little side dish on the table.
“You haven’t eaten for a long time, and you have injured your throat, so you can only drink some porridge these days. Let’s talk about big fish and meat when you are all better.”
Yu Shuli gave him a sullen look, somewhat dissatisfied with his cold attitude, but still took the bowl and slowly drank it.
Wei Yan silently watched him finish drinking, took the bowl and prepared to go out again.
Yu Shuli finally couldn’t stand his attitude, grabbed his wrist, and when he had just vaguely touched a piece of heat, he was Throw away by Wei Yan.
Yu Shuli’s eyes were red: “Wei Yan… why are you like this?”
Wei Yan turned his head, not daring to look at him, but there seemed to be a storm flashing in his eyes. “How do you want me to be?”
Yu Shuli was stunned. When he touched his hand just now, Wei Yan’s hand seemed to be shaking.
Is he also afraid?
Zhong Nian knocked on the door and came in: “Little General…” He looked up and saw a person in the room, “Ah” he exclaimed: “Prime Minister, haven’t you gone to rest yet? You still have a fever…”
Yu Shuli looked at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan sighed and explained, “I’m fine, I’ll go to rest in a while.”
“You’re sick again?” Yu Shuli asked.
Zhong Nian explained: “The Prime Minister hurried back when he was halfway there. He was already sick when he was caught in the rain earlier, and it became more serious on the road.”
Yu Shuli looked at Wei Yan with a straight face: “Who told you to turn back?”
“If I don’t turn back, should I wait for your death?” Wei Yan almost gritted his teeth, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white because of the force, and in his fierce and angry eyes, he vaguely revealed endless helplessness and panic.
Yu Shuli didn’t have the right to be reasonable on this matter, and besides, he looked at Wei Yan like this, and he was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply changed the subject: “Have you taken your medicine?”
“I took it.” Zhong Nian replied, “How can I support taking care of you if I don’t take medicine?”
“Did I ask you?” Yu Shuli glanced at him.
Zhong Nian quickly covered his mouth: “Okay, you talk.” He ran away faster than a rabbit, completely leaving the room to the awkward Yu Shuli and Wei Yan.
“Wei Yan.” Yu Shuli tugged at Wei Yan’s arm, trying to pull him closer.
“Little General, just say it if you have something to say.”
Yu Shuli’s fingers propped on the edge of the bed, trying to look at him: “How many days has it been since I fainted until now?”
“Three days.”
“It’s been three days…” He rubbed his head, “Then the follow-up of Rongcheng…”
“It’s been resolved long ago.” Wei Yan lowered his eyes: “Is there only Rongcheng in your eyes?”
Have you never thought that someone would worry about you?
“Of course not…” Yu Shuli sighed, his voice low: “But I promised them… to take them home…”
His fingers trembled, grabbed the quilt, and asked, “In the end… how many survived?”
“Dai Meng said that there were a total of five wounded soldiers you placed in the cave, all alive, and the thirteen soldiers who entered the city with you…” Wei Yan paused: “Eight died.”
Yu Shuli closed his eyes, “They sacrificed for me… If it wasn’t for me…”
Wei Yan interrupted him: “Everyone on the battlefield has long been ready to fight and die. They used their lives to protect you and protect the military veins of Da Liang. This is the most correct choice they think.”
Yu Shuli’s expression was a little blank: “But… am I worth it?”
“Of course it’s worth it.” Wei Yan suddenly asked, “Yu Shuli, are you still willing to marry me?”
Asking questions so straightforwardly and seriously is completely different from his previous subtle appearance.
Yu Shuli was stunned by the question, he suddenly opened his eyes wide: “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
“Wei Yan, didn’t we say yes? I’ll go to war, and after it’s over, I’ll give you an answer… Although Rongcheng has been broken, Xizhao has not given up attacking and surrendering. Now we should take advantage of the victory to pursue.” He avoided talking about the topic: “Right now, I just want to avenge my brothers.”
“I have already reported the marriage certificate to the Emperor, and he has approved it.” Wei Yan leaned over and approached, meeting Yu Shuli’s gaze: “The betrothal, asking the name, acceptance of auspicious omens, acceptance of betrothal gifts, and asking for the date have all ended, and now there is only the last step left.”
Yu Shuli’s face sank: “Wei Yan, are you acting first and reporting later?”
“So what?” Wei Yan pressed him on the couch, with an unquestionable expression between his eyebrows: “On the twelfth day of the first month, we will get married.”
The twelfth day of the first month? Isn’t that the day after tomorrow?
“Are you sick? How can it be too late on the twelfth day of the first month?” Yu Shuli glared at him.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yan said, “It’s the same if it’s done in Rongcheng.”
“I don’t agree.” Yu Shuli was too lazy to pay attention to him, pushed his body away: “I don’t have that time.”
“I will prepare everything, and you just need to participate…” Wei Yan was still talking, and Yu Shuli slapped him in the face.
This slap was not a joke, it was really used with some force.
Wei Yan was stunned. He gently stroked the palm print on his face with his fingers, and then the corners of his lips curled up, and he actually smiled.
Seeing that he was not angry but happy, Yu Shuli was a little worried: “Wei Yan, what’s wrong with you?”
“Ji An.” Wei Yan suddenly called him.
Yu Shuli sighed: “Hmm?”
“You owe me another life.” Wei Yan looked at him directly: “Including the last time, it’s already twice. Don’t you have to repay your gratitude?”
“I have no other requirements, only one, you marry me.”
Yu Shuli frowned and looked up, glaring at him. “If I don’t agree, you will take advantage of your gratitude and take advantage of others?”
“You can’t No tolerance refuse.” Wei Yan’s eyes darkened, and he finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He pressed the back of Yu Shuli’s head with his fingers,Detain his body and dragged him over, and his hot lips attacked.
Wei Yan’s lips and teeth crushed and rolled, and his tongue roamed and invaded Yu Shuli’s mouth, making Yu Shuli tense all over and dizzy.
He pushed Wei Yan away with extremely strong self-control, his face flushed red, and his eyelashes trembled Keep going: “You… you are too Too much bullying!”
Wei Yan “Hmm” paused and suddenly turned around, “I am originally a despicable person, now you know?”
“That day… I watched them convergence the bodies of the Da Liang army, saying that they wanted to send the heroic spirits home for their comrades.” Wei Yan Murmur said: “Thirteen said that the families of these soldiers would take over the corpses and convergence them. From beginning to end, the only people who can see them one last time, besides their comrades, are their families.”
Wei Yan’s eyes were stunned, and he smiled bitterly: “But I… I’m nothing.”
“I can’t be there when something happens to you. I keep thinking, what if you die, what should I do? I don’t even have the qualification to see you for the last time…”
“Later, I figured it out.” Wei Yan turned his head back, as if he had finally woken up, but the words he said were shocking and be terrified. “If you die, I will go with you.”
He turned his head back, his voice gentle: “Yu Shuli, if I can’t get a title while I’m alive, then how about I Sacrifice for love for you?”
