Chapter 289 The Grudge is Settled
How could the defeated 3,000 troops be a match for the elite Mo Yun Cavalry? The defeated soldiers, who had no intention of fighting, were chased and fled everywhere. Those who could not escape simply dismounted, threw down their weapons and surrendered. Civil war was something that every soldier disliked, and the elite Mo Yun Cavalry let them kneel on the spot with their heads in their hands instead of killing them, and continued to chase the enemy leader.
After escaping to the foot of a mountain, Pan Mei looked back and saw that there were only about twenty of his personal soldiers following him. He could not help but sigh to the sky again, "I used to be a famous general who had made countless military achievements for the country, but because of a single thought, I became a traitor!
That’s it! There is no way to escape today, so just dismount and surrender!”
The soldiers were filled with grief and indignation, and their faces were filled with sorrow. "Marshal, we will follow you till death, and will not live in vain."
Thinking of his wife, children and elders at home, Pan Mei gave a sad smile, dismounted, threw down the long sword in his hand, looked at the pursuers in black armor who were getting closer and closer, and waited to be captured.
When enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy. Hong Gu galloped forward, looking at the figure she hated, threw off the stirrups, jumped off the horse, and stabbed Pan Mei, who was standing upright, with the snow-white iron sword in her hand.
She was killed even after surrendering? Was this female general crazy?
The personal soldiers cursed in their hearts while stepping forward to protect their leader.
More than 20 highly skilled personal soldiers surrounded Hong Gu and protected the marshal behind them. Mo Wen, who had followed, waved his hand, and the elite Mo Yun cavalry rode forward, knocked the more than 20 personal soldiers to the ground, and tied them up.
Pan Mei, who was standing alone, watched Hong Gu approaching step by step, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there any deep hatred between you and me?"
Hong Gu's eyes were filled with hatred and she approached her enemy step by step, "Marshal Pan, do you remember your deputy general Fan Lei? He is my late husband."
Pan Mei's eyes showed surprise, and then he smiled bitterly, "So you are Fan Lei's widow. Well, the most uneasy thing I have done in my life is to kill Deputy General Fan in front of the battle. It can be regarded as retribution for my death in your hands today."
"Do you still feel wronged? Back then, my husband Fan Lei was angry because you killed innocent people to take credit for your crimes. He was so angry that he failed to stop you and wrote a letter to the emperor for a verdict. Unexpectedly, you killed him on the battlefield in the name of cowardice and disobedience. Pan Mei, you deserve to die!"
Pan Mei opened his eyes and smiled calmly, "When we suppressed the rebellion in the southern barbarian land, the barbarian people were ordinary people who worked hard to farm, hunt and collect herbs. After the army withdrew, the barbarian people became soldiers. They were the main source of soldiers for the leaders of all sizes to kill the court officials and garrisons.
I was ordered to suppress the rebellion. I won several battles and withdrew my troops, but the court officials were killed by those people right after. I slaughtered the adult men in those villages to cut off the root of the rebellion. This was a helpless move that I had requested in the memorial.
Therefore, beheading Deputy General Fan who disobeyed orders in front of the battlefield was also a helpless act. "
"You...you are talking nonsense! You are full of lies. It's no use trying to get away with it!" Hong Gu was in tears. She placed the sword in her hand against Pan Mei's chest, but the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
Pan Mei smiled and said, "I am also a famous general who has fought for many years and made countless contributions. Although I am a bit utilitarian, I have never done anything evil. Future generations will judge my merits and demerits. Do I need to deceive a woman like you to clear my name?"
After saying this, he closed his eyes again and accepted death calmly.
Hong Gu had already believed Pan Mei's words to some extent, because her husband Fan Lei was also the son of a small village owner from a barbarian land. Relying on his martial arts and having studied a few days, he joined the imperial army and was promoted to the sixth rank military general due to his military merits. When the enemy came to his hometown, how could he not pity the lives of his fellow citizens? He tried his best to persuade and stop, but disobeyed orders, which was in line with his loyal and stubborn character.
However, the man opposite is the enemy who killed my husband. How can I be worthy of my husband Fan Lei if I don’t kill him?
Hong Gu gritted her teeth and stabbed the sword in her hand into Pan Mei's chest! ...
Seeing the blood flowing down the sword, Hong Gu burst into tears. "Husband! This sword is my revenge for you!"
He drew out his sword, turned around, mounted his horse, and looked down at Pan Mei, whose chest was bleeding. He said, "Marshal Pan, the feud between you and me is over. Your life or death has nothing to do with me." After saying that, he rode away.
Pan Mei covered the bleeding wound on his chest and smiled bitterly, "There are so many hatreds in this world, and how difficult it is to resolve them. Vice General Fan's widow is a wonderful woman who is infatuated and open-minded."
The Mo Yun cavalry soldiers tied Pan Mei and more than 20 personal soldiers to their horses and took them back to the military camp.
Mo Wenke didn't care about all these anymore. He chased after Hong Gu's back and rode his horse to catch up.
Hong Gu galloped on her horse and after running for dozens of miles, she arrived at the foot of a mountain, jumped off her horse, and used her lightness skills to rush straight to the top of the mountain.
Mo Wen, who had caught up, scratched his head, dismounted, tied the two horses to a tree stump, and used his lightness skills to catch up.
I saw Hong Gu sitting alone on a rock, looking towards the south.
Mo Wen felt a pain in his heart. He walked over quietly and sat silently beside Hong Gu, looking towards the sky to the south and the endless layers of mountains in the distance.
Two stone statue-like figures sat quietly on the rock, from the time when the sun was high in the south to the time when the sun gradually set.
Hong Gu slowly turned her head and looked at Mo Wen who had his mouth tightly shut. Suddenly she smiled and said, "Big Mouth Mo, how come you can hold it back so much today? You haven't said a word for more than two hours?"
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Hong Gu's pretty face, revealing every detail. The fine hairs are all glowing with soft warm colors, and her bright eyes are filled with a warm smile.
Mo Wen was stunned! He kept mumbling but couldn't utter a complete word.
Hong Gu chuckled, moved closer to Mo Wen, and leaned her delicate body on his shoulder.
Mo Wen was stunned! His mind went blank. …
After a long while, Mo Wen finally heard his own frantic heartbeat. He slowly stretched out his arms and carefully embraced Hong Gu's slender waist. His mouth, which usually kept chattering, was still moving but could not utter a single word.
"Mo Wen, I know how you feel about me." Hong Gu's voice was soft and sweet, and her pretty face was also flushed softly. "The lady has said several times that you are a good man who is worthy of entrusting your life to."
"But, until my husband's great vengeance is avenged, I cannot accommodate anyone else in my heart."
Mo Wen swallowed hard, and his blocked throat became unblocked. "Now that you have avenged your great vengeance and untied your knot, can you put me in your heart?"
Hong Gu sat up straight, raised her hand and hit him, "Idiot! If I didn't take you into my heart, would I be so close to you? I'm not the kind of woman who is promiscuous!"
Mo Wen quickly hugged Hong Gu, smiled and said nice things to her, coaxing her with sweet words: "Hong Gu, don't be angry! I was just stunned by the happiness and sweetness that suddenly fell from the sky, and my brain was stupid for a while.
Hong Gu, I have admired you for a long time, I like you, and your face and figure are in my mind every day and night. In this life, I will love you and my daughter Ping'er well, protect you, pamper you, treat you as my treasures, and make you happy..."
Hong Gu was so happy with these endless sweet words that she felt sweet in her heart, but she scolded him in annoyance, "Enough! You never stop talking once you open your mouth. Can you please be quiet for a while?"
Mo Wen quickly shut his mouth tightly and expressed his love with actions. He picked up Hong Gu's delicate body and galloped towards the warhorse at the foot of the mountain.
Hong Gu's "chuckle" sounded like a silver bell, echoing in the mountains and forests...
