Chapter: 5827

The Qing army excelled at mounted archery and had a special skill of applying cadaveric fluid to the arrowheads, carrying a large amount of bacteria and viruses. Wu Feiyun's wound was already septic, with pus oozing out constantly, causing her great pain and weakness with every tremor.

Luckily, Lin Zhuchi held onto her hand tightly, exerting all his strength to pull her along, just preventing her from being caught by the enemy.

Wu Feiyun knew that the Qing army's arrows were extremely poisonous. Even if she didn't die immediately, the wound would still cause systemic necrosis and eventually take her life within a few days.

So, at this moment, Wu Feiyun also knew that she was running out of time.

Looking at Lin Zhuchi who was slowing down to save her, she couldn't help but choke back tears: "Zhuchi-gege, give me a good death and hurry up and escape yourself. I'm already doomed, you'll only be dragged down by me if you stay with me..."

Lin Zhuchi's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I promised your older brother to protect you completely. Even if I die in battle, I'll die alongside you. Otherwise, I'll have no face to show my father when I return. But now, it seems that we have no escape route left."

Wu Feiyun cried and said, "Older brother Lin, the Qing army is merciless, slaughtering countless people of the Ming dynasty. If we fall into their hands, it would be better than being born. You should give me a quick death, rather than letting me fall into their hands and suffer at their mercy!"

Lin Zhuchi gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Don't worry, Feiyun. Even if we have no way out, I'll give you a quick death and fight to the death against those Qing dogs alongside you. I won't let them take you captive!"

At this moment, Nurhaci brought his men closer, saw Wu Feiyun's black bloodstains, and coldly laughed, "Since you two didn't drink wine or take revenge, don't blame me for being ruthless! When the two of you fall into our brothers' hands, my brothers will let that little beauty have a good time and revel in it!"

Wu Feiyun was shocked and enraged, screaming loudly, "I won't let those Qing dogs off the hook, even if I become a ghost! One day, the Ming dynasty will annihilate you all and chase your dog emperor out of the country!"

Nurhaci spoke coldly, "The Ming dynasty? The Ming dynasty is almost being completely destroyed by us now! In the future, this will be our Manchu empire's territory! All Han people like you who refuse to surrender to me will be killed to the last one."

At this moment, a loud and clear voice asked, "What about killing old men too?"

As they spoke, an old man in a blue robe dropped down from the treetops above, holding a silver long sword with an air of solemn dignity. This was Meng Changsheng.

Nurhaci didn't expect that this old man would drop down from ten or so feet high without even showing any signs of injury, and for a moment, he looked at him warily and asked, "Who are you?"

Meng Changsheng said coldly, "A group of barbarians, what qualifications do you have to ask about my name? You're disturbing my meditation and making a big fuss. Why don't you just stay here today and leave your life behind as atonement?"

Goltu sneered coldly, "You old man must be tired of living! Come on, kill him for me!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a group of Qing soldiers drew their bows and aimed their arrows at Meng Changsheng.

Meng Changsheng looked down his nose and ridiculed, "What's the point of using arrows in front of me? Give me death!"

After he said this, he suddenly shook his long sword, and in an instant, dozens of whirling sword lights appeared, heading towards hundreds of Qing soldiers who were shouting in terror.

These Qing soldiers didn't have time to figure out what was going on before they were all decapitated without leaving a single living one.

Not far away, Lin Zhichuan and Wu Feiyun looked at each other with their eyes wide open, thinking that they had encountered a divine being.

At this moment, Meng Changsheng put away his long sword and approached them, asking, "What's the relationship between the two of you and a group of barbarian soldiers?"

Lin Zhichuan regained his composure quickly and said hastily, "I am Lin Zhichuan, late-coming to pay respects to the old divine being for saving my life! My sister and I are resisting the Qing together, but our abilities are not up to par. We were chased by the Qing army all the way here, and it was only thanks to your timely intervention that we might be able to survive today..."

Meng Changsheng furrowed his brows and asked, "Barbarians don't usually operate in the north, do they? This place is already close to the southern border of the Tang Dynasty. How did barbarians end up here?"

"The Tang Dynasty?" Lin Zhichuan exclaimed. "The old divine being, it's already been many years since the Tang Dynasty. Currently, the court is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming has unified China for over two hundred years. However, that traitor Wu Sangui allowed the Qing army to enter the pass, and now the Qing has already occupied most of our land..." JrNovels.com
