From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 715

"Every one of us is willing to be a hero."

Cai Ni's voice was full of firm belief. She focused all the light on herself. At this moment, she almost symbolized the hope of Shuixi.

An Fuman looked at all this, narrowed his eyes slightly, and laughed coldly: "Okay, okay, you ants dared to betray me."

"Do you think you are more important to me than Zhou Yuan!"

"With Zhou Yuan, I can take Sichuan smoothly, I can ask the Jin court for countless silver and money, and I can even get cannons."

"Isn't that more valuable than your cheap lives!"

He roared and shouted: "Come on! Capture Zhou Yuan alive! Who dares to stop! Kill on the spot!"

Five thousand soldiers rushed over in an instant.

Zhou Yuan knew that his goal had been achieved and it was time to evacuate.

He shouted: "Go! Old Bear and Old Wang, retreat quickly!"

He rushed into the crowd without hesitation, carried Guan Caixi on his back, and ran directly to the back mountain.

Xiaoying, Xiong Kuohai and Lao Wang followed closely behind.

After running a long way, Zhou Yuan felt something was wrong and suddenly turned back and said, "Cai Ni! Let's go!"

Cai Ni gritted her teeth and finally ran towards Zhou Yuan.

She whispered, "I... I can't bear to leave them!"

Ye Qingying said coldly, "If you stay, it will be disadvantageous to them, because they need to sacrifice their lives to protect you."

"That's right."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "As long as we escape, An Fuman doesn't need to attack Shuixi. That's meaningless."

They ran towards the back mountain, and Xiong Kuohai shouted in an unbelievable voice, "What are they doing!"

Everyone looked back and saw countless Shuixi people roaring with earth-shaking roars, using their flesh and blood to forcibly block the impact of 5,000 officers and soldiers.

Zhou Yuan's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but yelled: "No! Don't stop them! They can't catch up with us!"

Wang Ang said anxiously: "It's bad! These people in Shuixi don't know that we prepared the boat in advance! They want to buy time for us!"

Countless people, they came to participate in the festival, this is the most beautiful festival, but at this moment they met the soldiers with bare hands, their bodies were cut by knives, their chests were pierced, and their bodies were covered with blood.

"Protect our Cai Ni Amei!"

"No one wants to hurt our Yang Asha!"

"Fight with them!"

Countless people roared, one after another fell in a pool of blood, but one after another rushed up, one after another, without hesitation.

Men fell, women rushed up.

Young people fell, and old people rushed up.

The flowers on Xiangshui Beach were crushed and stained with blood.

A beautiful festival became a bloody tragedy.

"Run! Run, Cai Ni!"

"Don't be afraid, we've stopped them!"

Shi Hai climbed up the flower pole and shouted, "Every one of us wants to be a hero!"

"Protect our Cai Ni!"

Blood flowed, more people fell, the soldiers became more anxious, and killed more fiercely.

Seeing this scene, Cai Ni completely collapsed and cried out, "No! No! Don't kill them!"

She turned around and ran back, regardless of everything.

Zhou Yuan grabbed her and said anxiously, "Go! Only if we go, they will go."

"I won't!"

Cai Ni burst into tears and cried hoarsely, "I want to protect them, I can't let them die in vain."

"Grandma! Grandma! Grandpa! Go!"

She struggled hard, her hair was messy, her clothes were torn, and she just wanted to use all her strength to move forward.

"Cai Ni!"

Zhou Yuan hugged her and yelled, "Don't waste time! This is hurting them! We will come back! We will definitely come back!"

Cai Ni was stunned, then hugged Zhou Yuan and cried bitterly: "Wuwu Master, why wuwu! Why are they so good, but they have to be so miserable!"

"Why are they so kind, but they are killed like pigs and dogs."

"Why! Ah! Why!"

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and slashed Cai Ni's neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious.

Then he picked up Cai Ni, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! Don't delay!"

They quickly went up the mountain and went down to the west, not daring to look back.

All the way to the shore, dozens of Jinyiwei had prepared the boat.

Everyone hurriedly got on the boat and quickly moved away along the Xiangshui River.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark.

The moon was high in the sky, and it was also reflected in the clear water.

There were many wild flowers growing on both sides of the river, and among the lush green grass, there seemed to be small animals making low sounds.

Everyone sat on the boat, and no one spoke., the atmosphere was very depressing.

I don’t know how long it took before Xiong Kuohai sighed and said helplessly: "Alas, this is the first time I see Miss Cai Ni so sad. We relied on her to break the situation, but we failed to take care of her emotions. We are sorry for her."

Wang Ang whispered: "These Miao and Yi people are strong and simple. Once they have decided on something, they will definitely protect it."

"They didn't have to die, but... they just wanted to stand up for Miss Cai Ni. It's really touching."

Guan Caixi didn't say anything, just looked at the clear Xiangshui River, with tears in her eyes.

Zhou Yuan hugged Cai Ni and gently wiped the tears from her face.

He felt very heavy.

Because his plan was to evacuate directly after the people of Shuixi were fully awakened.

He thought that except for Guan Caixi, the other members had martial arts skills, and it would be impossible to catch up with them on the other side of the mountain.

Once they left, the officers and soldiers would no longer have to kill the people of Shuixi.

But he... miscalculated.

He didn't expect that the people here would really use their flesh and blood to resist the soldiers for Cai Ni.

He didn't expect that these simple people would rather die than buy time for Cai Ni.

They slapped Zhou Yuan's calculations in the face with a heroic attitude, making Zhou Yuan blame himself and Cai Ni heartbroken.

Ye Qingying saw that he was in a heavy mood and couldn't help saying: "Junior brother, there is no perfect calculation in the world. This kind of unexpected thing is not something you can control at all. Why do you blame yourself?"

"Resisting the soldiers is their choice. They are willing to do this for Cai Ni. It's meaningless for us to blame ourselves. We can only ask ourselves to come back earlier and help them live a better life."

"You should understand this truth."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "I understand, but I still feel guilty. After all, so many lives, after all, they are for "We died because of our kindness."

Xiong Kuohai said: "Lord Zhou, kindness is not good for the army. The reason why we went deep into the Miao village is to reduce the number of deaths here."

"If we hadn't come, it would not be as simple as a few hundred people dying here, I'm afraid it would be tens of thousands of people dying."

"You can't ask yourself to achieve your goal perfectly, without causing any casualties or paying any price, right? We are not gods."

Wang Ang patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Let's come back early and avenge them."

"Let's be heroes, heroes of Shuixi."
