My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Chapter 295: The Will to Die

Seeing Du Zhe ordering his men to draw their bows and arrows again, the arrows were pointing at Bai Xiuyun's throat.

"Duzhe! You dare!" With a roar, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

call out--!

The flying arrow seemed to have cut through the air, carrying some air currents with it. Zong Yanli's heart suddenly froze at this moment, and he watched the arrow flying towards Bai Xiuyun. At this critical moment, two sharp arrows flew diagonally and brushed past the arrow at a moment that no one had expected.

The arrows collided and fell one after another. When everyone turned their heads to look to the other side, they saw that Bai Xiuyun, who was originally dying, had somehow broken the rope hanging on his hand and jumped down from the high platform. The sharp blade in his hand fiercely cut the throat of the guarding soldier.

He grabbed the knife with his backhand, and the moment he held it in his hand, he did not retreat but advanced!

Zong Yan's scalp exploded instantly, and he reacted in an instant. He threw the long sword in his hand, wanting to help Bai Xiuyun break the enemy's formation and lend him a helping hand.

But he didn't expect to see Bai Xiujun advancing instead of retreating, and diving into the rear of the enemy. The glance he gave him was filled with such bravery and fearlessness, and the determination to risk his life!

He knew the current situation too well, and knew exactly what he had to do. He used the weapons snatched from the Wuhuan soldiers. What should have been an ordinary sword seemed to have become his perfect weapon.

He has always been like this. When he was fighting on the battlefield, he would always pick up a sword and replace it with another one when it was broken, or replace it with another one when the blade was bent...

That's why, even though he is holding an ordinary sword at this moment, he can still exert 100% of his offensive power!

Bai Xiujun had never been as firm in his belief as he was today. The bright red blood exploded before his eyes, and the blade that pierced his body did not stop him from rushing to the back.

His target is - Duzhe!

The chaos of the battle caught everyone off guard. Du Zhe never expected that Bai Xiuyun, who should have been at the mercy of others, could burst out with such great power even when he was on the verge of death. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of him.

Du Zhe's personal soldiers and guards surrounded and attacked. Bai Xiuyun, who was not wearing any armor and only had a sword, seemed to have burned all the blood in his chest. As the blades flew, blood spread.

Zong Yanli threw a knife to help but seeing Bai Xiuyun in such a state, his eyes were shocked and he stepped forward to rush past Kan Shi.

The sword blocked Zong Yanli's way. The blade passed in front of Zong Yanli and blocked her steps. Zong Yanli turned her eyes and saw the eyes staring at Kan Shi, deep and terrifying.

"Kill them!" Zong Yanli couldn't get close, so he retreated immediately, turned around and shouted to raise troops, but was blocked by the Lu army.

"Bu Gaoxuan! Why don't you help him!!!" Zong Yanli saw with his own eyes that Bai Xiuyun was trapped in the Wuhuan army formation, fighting bloody battles with Du Zhe's personal soldiers, and saw the cold sword piercing his body. He almost roared in anger.

After shooting arrows one after another, Baines finally locked onto Bu Gaoxuan's location, and he was actually in his own army!

Bai Xiujun only felt that the pressure in front of him suddenly eased for a moment, and he was waiting for this moment of opportunity.

Bu Gaoxuan seized the last opportunity, drew his bow and shot the last arrow!

Clang——!

The arrow was aimed at Duzhe, but was blocked by Duzhe with a swing of his sword. The tip of the arrow hit the blade and fell to the ground. In the gap where the arrow fell to the ground, there seemed to be a faint sound of flesh being pierced.

Du Zhe's eyes moved down as the arrow fell to the ground, and he saw the blade that pierced from the back to the chest. Blood was oozing from the tip of the sharp blade. His body shook, and he staggered around with some disbelief.

Behind him, he saw Bai Xiuyun, who was also pierced through the body. He looked like a demon crawling out of hell, covered in blood and looking at him with his head tilted.

The moving lips uttered: "I will live and die with the general... You are not worthy."

The punctured heart twitched suddenly, and large mouthfuls of dirty blood instantly gushed out of Du Zhe's throat. He staggered back and tried his best to steady his body. The roar in his ears seemed to recall the oath he and Zong Yanli made when they raised their glasses to swear an oath.

"From now on, you are my sworn brother. I am willing to live and die with you!"

'Live and die together.'

Duzhe spat out blood with a wow sound, and his vision suddenly blurred. He heard Zong Yanli's roar behind him, the panicked shouts of his personal soldiers beside him, and...

I heard that gentle and intimate voice: "Husband."

Saiya's face was particularly clear at this moment. He would always remember the last time Saiya looked at him. The woman sitting on the couch looked at him so calmly, as if she could see through all his thoughts. There was no dissuasion, no pleading, and no struggle at all.

"Duzhe, as you wish." Saiya finally said this to Duzhe and walked into the black water. It was the water of decay and death. Living people could drown in it and would not decay after being soaked in the water for three years. The high priest said that the price of an incorruptible body was eternal damnation.

He never betrayed Wuhuan, and he loved her as always.

She loves him too, doesn't she?

Why wouldn't he be willing to achieve his hegemony in this way?

She must be willing.

she……

Duzhe's knees went weak and he fell to the ground. He felt his vitality slipping away, and tears welled up in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of Saiya's last words, but he no longer had the chance to go on.

Bleeding profusely, his life force faded away, Du Zhe fell on the platform with his eyes open, and died at Bai Xiuyun's feet.

"The enemy general is dead--!"

"kill--!"

A deafening cry of killing rang out, and Baines stood up straight at once, looking at the Wuhuan who were in chaos at the moment, like a group of leaderless dragons. His face changed drastically, and he turned around and looked at Yue Yuqi, and withdrew his troops without any hesitation, cutting off their reinforcements.

Zong Yanli's troops tore through the Wuhuan army formation, stepped on the corpses on the ground, and she finally walked in front of Bai Xiuyun.

Bai Xiuyun, whose body was pierced by the long spears, had already stopped breathing. The two long spears pierced into his ribs on both sides from the back, holding up his entire body in a cross shape, which resulted in Bai Xiuyun dying while standing.

Put yourself in a desperate situation and die together with the enemy's general.

How familiar...

Zong Yanli stood in front of Bai Xiuyun, slowly stretched out his hand to straighten his tilted head, moved his fingers little by little to wipe the dirty blood stains on his face, and called him softly: "Xiaobai."

Bai Xiujun closed her eyes tightly and was silent. Zong Yanli finally felt the emotions that swept over her like a storm. It was so heartbreaking. The skinny boy in the same tent in the former recruit camp was the first person she saw when she opened her eyes after her rebirth.

now……

Zong Yanli took a step forward, held Bai Xiuyun's head with both hands, lowered his head and rested his forehead against his head, as if gradually feeling the residual warmth in his body slowly disappearing.

"Chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!" Zong Yanli stood up, lowered his eyes and stared at Du Zhe who died at Bai Xiuyun's feet. His words were cold and full of anger.

"Take Xiaobai back." Zong Yanli turned around and looked at the battle in front of him. He picked up his sword and jumped into the battlefield. Monkie wanted to speak but was stopped by Pei Liang. He shook his head at him and let Zong Yanli go into the battlefield to fight.

This war ended with the complete annihilation of the Wuhuan army.

Zong Yanli personally closed the coffin for Bai Xiuyun in the end. She understood too well that in the battle situation at that time, if Bai Xiuyun broke free from his restraints and tried to escape instead of dying together, then Zong Yanli would definitely be injured by Kan Shi in order to pick him up, and might even die.

If someone must die.

Bai Xiujun chose himself without hesitation.

He went there to seek death, and also to kill Du Zhe, exchanging one life for another. He believed that Zong Yanli would definitely help him when he saw his desire to die.

Zong Yanli learned from Bu Gaoxuan that Bai Xiujun was in collaboration with him and was waiting for this opportunity to escape. However, Bu Gaoxuan did not know that Bai Xiujun's escape was not to escape danger, but to risk his life. With such a resolute attitude, he turned around and charged into the enemy's formation and killed Du Zhe.

Die together with the enemy's general.

Bai Xiujun at this moment overlapped with Bai Xiujun who had also rushed into the battle in his previous life. He had never been weak, and his greatness was no less than anyone else.

"General, the mess has been cleaned up." Long Feiguang opened the tent and went inside. He looked at Zong Yanli and pursed his lips and said, "We haven't found any trace of Yue Yuqi. I think he has already escaped back to the Lu army."

"Okay." Zong Yanli lowered his eyes and suppressed the emotions in his eyes. He stood up and said, "Send a message back to Wuhuan and make public what Duzhe did and the death of Princess Sai Ya."

"Order the Wuhuan to surrender immediately. If they dare to establish a new king..." Zong Yanli's eyes seemed to be filled with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "This general will send troops immediately and will not turn back until all the Wuhuan are slaughtered!"

Long Feiguang immediately bowed his head and agreed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he stopped and said, "General Bai's body has been transported back to his hometown. He has no relatives at home, so he was entrusted to the elders in the village to bury him and hide him with his grandmother. It can be considered a reunion."

Zong Yanli opened his mouth and responded in a hoarse voice: "Okay."

The Wuhuan army was completely wiped out and the State of Lu had no more help. Zong Yanli did not have much time to grieve for his brothers who died in the battle. He immediately had to continue to prepare for the war.

The old fox, Baines, acted cautiously. Seeing that Zong Yanli was gaining momentum, he retreated to Xitong Pass to avoid the battle. It was obvious that he was planning to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

Winter came quietly, and the Wuhuan sent a letter of surrender on the day when heavy snow fell. Along with it, they also sent a pair of heads. They were the heads of Saiya and Duzhe, the only remaining royal bloodline of the Wuhuan.

In order to protect themselves, these old servants arrogantly killed the young master and presented his head to Zong Yanli as a token of their loyalty.

"Kill them all!" Zong Yanli only took one look at the bloody head and couldn't look at it any more. She didn't know how to express her feelings. She felt sorry for Saiya, felt it was not worth it for her, and felt ridiculous for the entire Wuhuan.

Zong Yanli suddenly thought, if she had told him that she was also a woman, might it have made him more determined to become emperor?

If that were the case, would she not have ended up in this situation today?

It was too late for Zong Yanli to say anything. She killed the treacherous ministers who murdered the young master and threw their heads back along with the letter of surrender. She spoke of her friendship with Queen Sai Ya and ordered Wuhuan to bury her son with honor.

She was telling everyone that although the Wuhuan had surrendered, the name of Wuhuan Princess Saiya would definitely exist in history books.

Zong Yanli's actions shocked the Wuhuan and were praised by the whole world.

The falling snow was like white flags swaying in the wind, and the north wind sounded like a sob filled with sobs.

The war was temporarily suspended, and the Wuhuan sent another letter of surrender, along with countless food, fodder and weapons, begging for the emperor to calm Zong Yanli's anger and forgive their ignorant people.

Zong Yanli finally accepted the letter of surrender and ordered someone to deliver it to Daqian. Daqian would soon send envoys to take over Wuhuan, and Zong Yanli also welcomed another New Year. In the year when she turned 35, the only country left in the world was Lu!

She joined the army at the age of fifteen and fought for twenty years without stopping.

"General, please have a bowl of noodles." Gao Feilin came in with a bowl of noodles and whispered to Zong Yanli, "Lu will be hard to conquer for the time being. General, please take care of your health."

"The preparations for this year's New Year are simple. I will transfer some money from my private treasury to distribute to the soldiers later." Zong Yanli raised his head from a pile of military books, rubbed his sore eyes and said in a low voice.

"The soldiers have no complaints. We should keep things simple when facing a powerful enemy." Gao Feilin pursed his lips and looked at Zong Yanli and said, "Don't always think about the army. Think about yourself..."

Zong Yanli raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled helplessly: "I know, I know, are your injuries healed now?"

Gao Feilin nodded and responded: "It's been a long time since I got it."

Zong Yanli reached out and picked up the bowl of noodles and said, "Okay, let Bu Gaoxuan come to see me later."

"Yes." Gao Feilin felt relieved when he saw Zong Yanli had eaten. He nodded his head and went out.

When Bu Gaoxuan came over after hearing the news, Zong Yanli had just finished eating. Looking at the tall and thin man in front of him, he slightly raised his hand to motion him to sit down and talk. However, Bu Gaoxuan did not dare to sit down easily, but stood where he was.

Zong Yanli did not force him to ask. He looked up at him and said, "I keep my word. Since you have made meritorious contributions, you will be my Zong Yanli from now on. If you have any requests, please tell me."

Bu Gaoxuan glanced at Zong Yanli, as if he was measuring the weight of her words. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not a general who can lead an army, and I don't want to be condescending to others. If you want what I ask, I am willing to be the general's personal soldier, and in the future I will only protect the general and obey his orders."

"Oh? You don't want to lead the army?" Zong Yanli glanced at Bu Gaoxuan and said, "You know that leading an army will earn you a lot of military merits. If you serve as my personal guard, you may not earn much military merits."

"I know." Bu Gaoxuan was confident, and he raised his voice and said, "If I want to gain military merit, with my archery skills, I can easily take the general's head, and I won't have to worry about not getting military merit."

"..."

How arrogant.

Zong Yanli glanced at Bu Gaoxuan twice, then smiled and said, "Since you have decided, then I will do as you say."

Zong Yanli waved his hand and let Bu Gaoxuan go to Gao Feilin to learn from him, and they would live in the same tent in the future.

After the matter here was settled, Zong Yanli continued to write military reports. Pei Liang and his companions were so busy that they could not be seen. It was said that Zhao Zhangbu had cried and begged him to go and help count the military supplies.
