Chapter 573 – Slaughterhouse
In the carriage, An Zheng and Zhuang Feifei sat facing each other. Between the two of them was Zhuang Feifei’s husband’s coffin.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you already find a way? ”
“He committed suicide.”
“Huh?”
An Zheng was stunned. After looking at Zhuang Feifei’s eyes for a second time, she did not dare to look back. Those eyes were filled with sorrow and despair. Red in color, it was unknown how long it had been since she had last slept. Her complexion was exceptionally pale, causing people to worry that her blood might have flowed away with his tears.
“Yeah, he committed suicide and left irresponsibly just like that.”
Zhuang Feifei lowered her head, her hair falling down and covering half of her face.
“All these years, I’ve spent so much effort and thought of all sorts of ways to save her, and I even did some things that went against my conscience. ‘Tired, really tired … ‘ But when I finally found a way to make him recover, even if he could walk and eat like a normal person, he chose to leave. Was it funny? All my efforts in the past few years have all gone down the drain. With so many things and so many tears, I can’t even compare to his share of guilt. ”
“Guilt?”
An Zheng asked.
Zhuang Feifei said: “A few days ago, he was already able to walk by herself, and could even walk around the courtyard. Although recovering his cultivation is still an impossible task for him, I can see that he is really happy. Told me many times that even walking is so free and happy. As for the Cultivation Power, he has even forgotten or did not care about it, or rather, no longer wished to cultivate it. ”
“He said he’s tired and doesn’t want to cultivate anymore.” As long as he feels good, I will follow his wishes. ”
“Then why did he commit suicide?”
“Because... He knows the truth. ”
Zhuang Feifei lifted her head and looked at An Zheng. Her eyes were filled with regret and self-blame, “Blame me … It’s not easy for me to hang on all these years, and I don’t have many people around me to talk to. And there were many things that could not be said even to Xiao Luan. So I don’t know when, I developed a habit of recording my life. To write down your experiences and thoughts is like talking to someone who knows you. ”
An Zheng suddenly understood: “He saw it?”
Zhuang Feifei nodded, “Blame me … He could walk, his appetite had improved, and she said she wanted to eat the lion’s head out in the open. I’m afraid I’ll send someone to buy it. I don’t know what his taste and preferences are, but he never eats ginger. I went myself, and I did not expect him to come to my room. He knows me well enough to know where I like to put important things. ”
When Zhuang Feifei said these words, her voice was extremely soft, causing one’s heart to ache.
“He thought it was a battle to protect the family and protect the country.”
Her voice began to tremble, “The person who found him swore to him that Da Xi felt that the King was no longer suitable to be king of the State of Yan. He needed to cultivate a new puppet. Of those cultivators that participated in the siege that day, half of those that came from the State of Yan were deceived like this. Even though it was impossible for them to hurt you, and the people who surrounded you were mainly those powerful people from the Da Xi Empire, there is no doubt about it. ”
“He saw my notes and then he understood what was going on.”
Zhuang Feifei lowered her head even more, “Blame me …”
Pa!! An Zheng’s hand struck the coffin, and the sound startled him.
“Blame you?”
An Zheng pointed to the coffin and said: “A man irresponsible to this extent, you actually still blame yourself? Damn him, he’s dead now. You don’t deserve to die, do you? ”
An Zheng said: “I know that these words are disrespectful to a dead person, but what he did was not worth it. I can forgive him, not just for you, but for being a victim. But I won’t forgive him for committing suicide because he feels guilty. That’s a coward. That’s right, it’s all your fault, if you hadn’t searched so hard for a way to save him and made him lie on the ground half-dead, at least he’s still alive right? ”
Zhuang Feifei was stupefied. She looked at An Zheng in a daze, and did not know what to say.
An Zheng looked at Zhuang Feifei’s pair of red eyes and said, “You, he, actually, what happened between you two has nothing to do with me. How deep your relationship with him is? Your willingness to die for him has nothing to do with me. But I’m responsible for someone I care about, for you. ”
“You... Who cares? ”
An Zheng nodded his head: “When Brother Jin passed away, you stood in the mourning hall and said that you would send him off as my big sister, and at the beginning, you were the person I cared about.”
Zhuang Feifei gave a light hum, and despair was finally no longer in her eyes.
An Zheng let out a long sigh, “It’s not easy for anyone to live through it, it’s easy for anyone to die if they want to. You’ve been the one to hold out for him all this time, and he chose not to. You can be sad, you can be sad, but you can’t blame yourself. ”
At this moment, the troops outside suddenly stopped. Not long after, there was a wave of noise in front of them.
An Zheng glanced at Zhuang Feifei: “Don’t come down, I’ll go take a look.”
An Zheng opened the curtain on the carriage and walked over, but before he could see who was in front, he heard someone shouting.
“Get Zhuang Feifei down here!”
The person who spoke was a man who was filled with vigor. It was likely that his cultivation wasn’t weak.
When An Zheng walked to the front, he saw a group of warriors riding horses. This group of people looked extremely valiant, and the bald man standing at the very front stood out, exuding a valiant aura. There were quite a lot of cavalrymen on the opposite side, and they had already completely blocked off the road ahead.
“What’s going on?”
An Zheng asked.
Xiao Luan, who was standing in front of the crowd, was angered to the point of turning pale: “This group of people are from the Yan Shan and Lian Yun Sect. Our boss was originally the Great Master of the Lian Yun Sect. That person is called Shi Xiao, the Second Leader of the Lian Yun Sect. When he heard that the Great Master passed away, he brought the rest of his men from the Swallow Mountain to kill the First Mr. ”
An Zheng walked to the front of the crowd and stood there looking at Shi Xiao. When he saw a man come out of the funeral procession to look at him, he became even angrier. “Who the hell are you? Isn’t that Zhuang Feifei, that vixen pretty boy?! ”
An Zheng asked with a calm expression: “What are you guys doing here?”
“Avenge the Great Master!”
“Revenge?”
An Zheng looked at Shi Xiao and said coldly: “After your Master was heavily injured, who has been trying to find a way to save him? It’s you? Now that your boss is gone and you guys are here to cause trouble, why can’t I see you guys coming over to help when he’s here? ”
“Who the fuck are you?”
Shi Xiao pointed his spear at An Zheng: “Zhuang Feifei is the boss’s woman, what she does is what he should be doing, even if he is tired to death, she should still be doing it. If it wasn’t for her, the Great Master wouldn’t have gone down to the Swallow Mountain and submitted to the dogshit of the imperial court. How good would it be to bring us brothers and enjoy ourselves on the Swallow Mountain? Now that we have been killed by this fox spirit, of course we have to come here to take revenge! ”
An Zheng frowned slightly. Anyone who knew him well would know that when he frowned, he was either lost in thought or truly angry.
“What are you going to do?”
“Let Zhuang Feifei, that fox spirit, accompany the boss in death!”
The group of people behind Shi Xiao shouted, “Let her die with us!”
“Let her commit suicide to accompany our boss in death!”
Shi Xiao pointed at An Zheng and said, “If you are unrelated, then scram quickly. I’m so angry right now that I don’t mind killing another person. None of the people from Zaocang were good enough to deserve death. Today, I will not let a single one of the Zaocang’s people off. All of them will die together with the Great Master. Zhuang Feifei is the boss’s woman. Without the boss, she has no right to continue living. ”
An Zheng asked: “Are women not human?”
Shi Xiao said loudly, “Women are people, but men are the heavens! The husband was dead, but the wife still had the face to live? I heard that the Great Master had turned better in the past few days, and now that he suddenly died, I think that it was Zhuang Feifei, that bitch who killed most of the people. You saw you protecting that bitch everywhere, could it be that because of your affair, the boss got better and killed him the moment he got better? ”
An Zheng: “You are a man, you should be responsible for every single word you say.”
Shi Xiao said, “Of course I’m f * cking responsible! Let me tell you, that vixen Zhuang Feifei doesn’t seem to be anything good. At that time, the Great Master had been bewitched by her and left Yan Shan in a daze. Had there been any good days in the past few years? How dare you speak in front of me with that adulterous look of yours, I’ll be the first to kill you. When I saw you getting off from the spirit carriage, I was afraid that you and Zhuang Feifei would not be able to do anything good beside my big brother’s coffin! ”
The more An Zheng got angry, the calmer his expression became: “Don’t you feel like you’re insulting your big brother as well?”
“You’ve insulted my big brother!”
Shi Xiao shouted in anger, “You two bitches actually do such a shameful thing next to my brother’s coffin. You even say it’s us insulting the boss.” “If I let you leave this place alive today, my brothers from the Yan Shan and the Cloud Stronghold would no longer have the face to set up their feet in the martial arts world.”
An Zheng nodded his head, “Our thoughts are a little similar. If I let you leave this place alive, I would be sorry even to myself.”
Shi Xiao laughed maniacally, “I guessed right!”
He pointed his spear at An Zheng and shouted, “Brothers, look carefully! This person is Zhuang Feifei that bitch’s adulterer, it was the two of them conspiring to kill our big brother. When big brother was alive, he was the most loyal, and all of you have received kindness from big brother. If you do not kill this person, will you not have to face Big Brother’s spirit in heaven?! ”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Shi Xiao shouted loudly, “Today, the brothers of the Lian Yun Sect are going to massacre the Fanggu. Initially, I had planned to kill only the people from Zaocang to accompany the boss in death, but now I regret it. Not a single person in Fanggu should be let off today. I, Lian Yun Zhai’s cavalry, will turn this place into a dead city! Kill everyone, then, everyone follow me to Fringe City and kill that bastard King of State of Yan! ”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Thousands of soldiers on the Steel Cavalry shouted out in madness. That scene was simply too terrifying. These people never took killing seriously. They were great thieves that swept across the grasslands and the northern borders of State of Yan. Once they were murderous, it was more than just talk. Countless sabers lit up and countless crossbows were ready to shoot.
