Chapter 390: We Can Never Go Back to the Past
Chu Qianxue endured the pain in her body and struggled hard, but how could she resist a desperate mother? She rolled her eyes as Mrs. Cui pinched her.
Xiao Chenze kicked with such force that Mrs. Cui lost her breath.
Suddenly, a striking flower exploded in the sky. Xiao Chenze recognized it as the Chu family's signal arrow.
Fang Yao turned around and walked out.
Xiao Chenze hurriedly called out to him, "General, please stay. I'm not saving her."
He pointed at Chu Qianxue and said, "I want to bring her to Li'er's tombstone and then kill her to comfort Li'er's spirit in heaven."
"No need," Fang Yao said coldly, "Li'er is lying there, her soul hasn't left yet. If you really want to comfort her, kill her now, don't dither and make so many excuses. You want to kill her in front of Li'er's tombstone, and I think she's defiled Li'er's quiet path. What? You don't want to kill her, Gu Mu?"
Gu Mu immediately responded, "Yes."
"Kill her."
"Yes."
Gu Mu drew his sword without a word, and Xiao Chenze quickly reached out to stop him, "I'll do it."
His voice was very sad. "I will come in person."
Gu Mu glared at him and said bluntly, "Don't try to play tricks on me. After you kill me, I will stab you twice more. Come on, do it."
Chu Qianxue retreated again and again with horror on her face.
"Cousin, I don't dare anymore. I never dare anymore. Cousin, are you really going to kill me? Have you forgotten that I jumped into the ice water to save you? Have you forgotten, woooo, woooo, my brother saved you from the mouth of a wolf and almost had one of your legs bitten off? Woooo, woooo, cousin, I don't dare anymore. I never dare anymore. I..."
She lowered her eyes and looked at the sword stuck in her chest.
Xiao Chenze held the sword in his hand, and the reflection of the accumulated snow was dazzling.
A fishy and sweet taste rushed up her throat and she spat out a mouthful of blood, followed by another mouthful, and another.
Her gaze towards Xiao Chenze gradually became dull, and her eyes slowly lost their luster.
Xiao Chenze drew out his sword, took the cloth handed to him by Xu Yang, wiped it clean, and inserted the sword into the scabbard.
The sound of crows came from the sky. He looked up and looked for a long time without saying anything.
Suddenly, dazzling sparks exploded in the air. It was the Fang family's signal arrow.
Fang Yao's expression instantly turned serious when he saw this, and he said directly to Gu Mu, "Go, stab her a couple more times, lest she's not dead yet."
Gu Mu responded and left.
Xiao Chenze didn't look back, but just said softly, "Leave her body intact."
The sound of a sharp sword piercing flesh and bone came from behind. Chu Qianxue was no longer moving. Beside her, the blood spurting out of the Cui family girl's neck dyed the white snow red, large patches after large patches.
Shen Li sat quietly in the space, looking down through the clouds.
The blood on the snow was like large petals, making the entire Merlin dazzling and breathtaking.
A secret guard flew in hurriedly from outside. It was Gu Shu.
As soon as he landed, Gu Shu knelt on one knee and said, "General, the Chu family has been surrounded. When our people went in to capture the Duke's wife, the Chu family soldiers fought desperately to protect her. They have already engaged us, and both sides have suffered casualties. Someone in the Chu Mansion fired a signal arrow, and I heard that the Chu family army was already heading here. They must have seen the signal arrow and came to reinforce. Zhu Yi also fired our signal arrow, and reinforcements will also come. He ordered his subordinates to come and report to the general. If a fight breaks out soon, the important area of the capital will be implicated, and the general may be hurt."
"Don't be afraid, beat me hard," Fang Yao said without hesitation, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Whoever dares to stop me will be beaten to death. My niece was killed by them, and I'm afraid of being implicated by my daughter. After this, I will go to the emperor to apologize. I don't want to be a general anymore. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. But if I don't avenge my niece, I'm not a human being!"
The big black mastiff walked up to "Shen Li", sniffed her, and then walked away.
Xiao Chenze squatted down and stroked the cloak covering "Shen Li", his heart withered.
He no longer had the ability to react to Fang Yao's words.
The wolf came over, lowered its head and sniffed "Shen Li" on the ground, then returned to him and rubbed his head against him.
Mrs. Chu, who had walked a long way away, suddenly changed her expression after hearing Fang Yao's words.
Daring to fight in the capital's important area is tantamount to rebellion.
The old lady immediately turned around and walked back on the snow.
"General Fang," Madam Chu said to him solemnly, "You can't fight. I will go back to the mansion and tie up Cui. Can you ask your people to wait first? As long as I go back, I can restrain the Chu family. Please trust me."
"This was done by the Chu family's evildoer. I am not biased, as you just saw. I think the same as you. No one involved in this will be spared. Fang Yao, calm down. My evildoer has already paid for Miss Shen's life. She couldn't have done so much alone. She couldn't mobilize those three guards alone. Her mother, Cui, must have helped her in this matter. I am being so frank because I want to share my concerns with you, General. I hope you can believe that my original intention was never to antagonize the Fang family. Our two families have been friends for generations, and we must not let this rare friendship be ruined by Cui's mother and daughter."
"Fang Yao, the Chu family is just a duke's mansion, not a palace of an enemy nation. It's not worth sending troops to attack. I'll go back now. If you're worried, I'll have someone open the main gate and invite you in to supervise. Our two families are very important to the court. If we really fall out, won't all the good situation that Miss Shen has worked so hard to build be in vain?"
"General, please listen to my advice and wait patiently for a moment while I return to personally execute that foolish woman. Only if I do it myself will my two grandsons stop blaming someone else for their mother's murder. If they want to hate someone, they should hate me, their grandmother, and no one else."
Fang Yao, who was originally furious, stood in the snow for a long time without moving after hearing her words.
After a while, he slowly turned around and came to the corpse of "Shen Li". The moment he lowered his head, his eyes were red and moist.
"Madam, I have a bad temper, but I'm not unreasonable. It's because I'm reasonable with you that..."
His voice choked. "As a result, your granddaughter was given a second chance to kill Li'er. It's my fault as an uncle. Such a good child died because of my tolerance. I don't deserve to be her uncle. I don't deserve it."
He looked up at the sky, snowflakes flying on his face, the coldness made him numb for a moment, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, "Old Madam, the Fang family and the Chu family will never go back to the past. If I didn't know the character of you and the old Duke, I would have killed my entire family today and fought the Chu family to the death. I want to personally see Cui's life and death. If you really kill her, I can show mercy and order my men to withdraw. Otherwise..."
He paused for a moment, "If not, Madam, go back and make the arrangements. We will meet in battle and see who can wipe out the other's entire family."
