"What nonsense are you talking about…"
The soldier hurriedly took off his outer robe and put it on his wife. He sobbed and said,
"What kind of hero am I? I can't even protect my own family. What kind of hero am I…"
"Husband."
The woman smiled bitterly and looked at the soldier with infatuation. She said gently,"I'm going to look for Second Baby. If there's a next life, let's be husband and wife again, okay?”
"Hong Niang, you…" The soldier's expression changed drastically.
The woman quickly pulled out the soldier's broken blade and stabbed it into her stomach.
"Puchi…"
The sound was clear and fresh blood spurted out.
"Matchmaker…" The soldiers howled in panic, trying to cover their bleeding wounds with their hands.
However, it was useless.
The woman fell into the soldier's arms and tried her best to smile."Husband, forget about the matchmaker and Second Baby. Find a good family, get married, and have children.”
"I don't want it, I don't want it…Why did you do this? Why didn't you stay with me…" The soldier sobbed.
"Husband... Jun, I... She really wasn't worthy anymore, forget... I forgot about the matchmaker…"
There was a trace of longing in the matchmaker's eyes, as if she was reluctant to part with her husband.
However, her body was already dirty and her heart was dead.
She had no face to live in this world anymore.
She smiled sadly and left the last of her gentleness to the man she loved deeply.
The last glimmer of light was extinguished from his eyes.
Her arm slipped silently.
"Matchmaker…"
A sorrowful roar resounded through the clouds!
The soldiers were sobbing and trembling. They hugged the bodies of Second Baby and the matchmaker and wailed.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
"I've let you down. I didn't protect you well. I'm sorry..."
"Hong Niang, why, why…I don't despise you, I don't despise you…Why are you doing this…Ah... Damn heavens, I risked my life to protect Feng An City and Great Qin. Why are you doing this to me? Why…"
"Matchmaker, Second Baby…"
Hugging the corpse, the soldier fell into a deep self-reproach, unable to extricate himself.
"Second Baby, matchmaker, walk slowly. I'm coming to accompany you.”
"Our family of three will reunite in the Yellow Spring…"
Raising his head, the soldier's eyes were bloodshot and filled with determination.
"Chi…"
He slowly pulled out the blade from the matchmaker's stomach, as if he was afraid that if he pulled it out too quickly, it would cause the matchmaker pain.
Even though he knew that the matchmaker would not feel any pain.
but... His heart ached!
He drew his long saber and placed it on his neck. The soldier looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
"Feng An City has been defended. It was a young general who led his men to turn the tide.”
"Matchmaker, Second Baby, I'm here…"
The soldier closed his eyes and exerted strength in his arms, wanting to slash his throat with the blade.
However, he did not get his wish.
A powerful palm grabbed his arm, as if it had a thousand pounds of strength, making it difficult for him to move.
The soldier suddenly opened his eyes and looked sideways. He was slightly stunned."Will... General?"
"You don't deserve to die." Ying Yu said.
At this moment, although Ying Yu looked calm, he was actually filled with sadness and hatred.
And all of this was because of the Xiongnu.
Behind him, Wang Zhen and the soldiers were also filled with grief.
They had seen everything that had happened just now, but they did not dare to disturb him.
"I don't deserve to die?"
The soldier murmured in a daze, his face lonely and his eyes dull. He looked at Ying Yu with his bloodshot eyes and said,
"If I don't deserve to die, who should? To Second Baby, I'm not worthy of being his father. To Xiu Niang, I'm not worthy of being his husband. If I don't deserve to die, who should?”
Ying Yu's heart was heavy. He knew that this scene would be a huge blow to the soldiers. He took a deep breath and slowly said,
"Even if you deserve to die, you shouldn't die now.”
"When was that?"
The soldier asked. His arm was still being held by Ying Yu's seemingly small but heavy hand.
"You're a soldier. At this moment, the war has yet to end. Your life should stay on the battlefield to kill the enemy and comfort their souls in heaven.”
Ying Yu stared into the soldier's eyes and said each word clearly. The burning flames in his eyes were clearly seen by the soldier.
Of course, if the soldiers were determined to die, Ying Yu wouldn't stop them.
Slowly letting go of the soldier's arm, Ying Yu looked at the soldier and said,"
"At this moment, whether you die, reunite with your family, or live, it's all up to you.”
He was looking at the soldiers, and Wang Zhen and the others were also looking at the soldiers, waiting for the soldiers to make their choice.
The soldier raised his head and laughed at himself."But I'm just an ordinary soldier. How about..."
His gaze swept over the silent white-robed soldiers. His eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped talking.
"General."
The soldier looked at Ying Yu, knelt down abruptly, and said in a pleading and eager tone,""General, please take me in. Li Lin is willing to follow you to the death.”
"Have you thought it through?" Ying Yu asked calmly.
"Yes, I have." Li Lin's gaze was firm.
"Alright."
Ying Yu nodded, turned around, and walked away, saying,"Bury your family for the time being. After that, you will be under my command.”
He didn't want to stay here for long. Every time he saw Xiu Niang and her son's corpses, Ying Yu's heart would ache.
Great Qin's people should not be like this.
