Su Xiaoliu suddenly turned to look at Gu Rongxue. He was gradually disappearing from her sight. The magnificent purple robe was just a back view as he quietly walked up to the Alliance Leader.
The Alliance Leader looked at him and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Execute him."
Su Xiaoliu's almond eyes widened in horror as she stared at Gu Rongxue. She tried to run forward but was pulled back by Jiang Li.
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Jiang Li blankly. Jiang Li shook his head and said, "Don't go. Our current goal is to protect the Rebirth Fruit." If a fight broke out, there would surely be more casualties.
Gu Rongxue curved his lips, and there was only a quiet smile on his extremely beautiful face.
Behind the Alliance Leader, a guard on horseback picked up a bow and arrow, aiming at Gu Rongxue's chest. In the sandstorm, he released the bowstring with a "swish". The arrow pierced straight into Gu Rongxue's chest, right through his heart...
"Don't!" Su Xiaoliu shouted, but could only watch helplessly as the merciless arrow went through Gu Rongxue's body.
Blood dripped from the tip of the arrow, staining the magnificent purple robe an even more vivid color. The slowly flowing blood dropped onto the yellow sand. The figure swaying in the wind could no longer bear the weight and slowly fell.
Su Xiaoliu stared blankly as his eyes slowly closed. His long eyelashes, like a cattail fan, drooped. On his almost transparently beautiful face, his flesh - colored lips curled slightly without a trace of sadness. His jet - black hair was casually scattered, looking like a celestial being untouched by the mortal world. Finally, he disappeared...
It seemed that the warmth from his fingertips still remained on her hand, but at this moment, he was really gone.
Jiang Li and the others all clenched their fists tightly, their eyes filled with hatred.
The Alliance Leader glanced at a guard beside him expressionlessly and threw a porcelain bottle over, saying, "Feed it to him."
The guard took the porcelain bottle, poured out a black pill from it, and in front of everyone, squatted down and fed it into Gu Rongxue's mouth.
Su Xiaoliu watched as his face gradually turned green. Her fingernails dug deeply into her flesh without her even noticing the blood. She understood what that black pill was...
Cruel, truly cruel! Not leaving a single glimmer of hope!
Su Xiaoliu suddenly laughed. Zhong Fengyue glanced at her, pursed his lips, and picked her up.
Mo Xin pulled the carriage over and said to Jiang Li and the others, "Hurry up!"
Everyone got into the carriage. At the same time, Chang He pushed off with his feet and engaged in a fight with several guards in front of the Alliance Leader.
Su Xiaoliu stared blankly at Gu Rongxue lying in the yellow sand, not even having the strength to call out his name...
A strong wind swept in. Chu Weixin whipped the horse and turned it around, then quickly drove forward.
Wanyan Menghu gave Chang He a look, then looked at the Alliance Leader and the others. Rarely without a smile, she moved her lips, turned around and sat on the back of the white tiger, shouting, "Go!"
The white tiger's big copper - bell eyes looked ahead, lifted its four paws, and ran away quickly...
The strong wind passed by, kicking up yellow sand all over the place and covering the sky. The bright sun was blocked by the overwhelming flying sand, and the sky instantly darkened.
Suddenly, the strong wind formed quicksand in the desert. Chang He and the guards fighting were suddenly dragged by the quicksand. The legs of several horses were also grabbed by the quicksand, and then the quicksand mercilessly swallowed everything...
The scene immediately became chaotic. Everything was disrupted by the overwhelming yellow sand.
The carriage jolted. At the moment when Su Xiaoliu saw Chang He being swallowed by the quicksand, her almond eyes trembled. She then looked at Gu Rongxue lying on the ground and suddenly realized that the person who had given her the most warmth was really and completely gone from her life this time.
The Rebirth Fruit, the Rebirth Fruit...
Why could everyone just watch him die for the sake of a Rebirth Fruit? Why couldn't they just be firm - hearted and stop him?
The camel bells rang and the strong wind blew, shattering Su Xiaoliu's last bit of strength. She stared blankly at Gu Rongxue's figure gradually being buried by the yellow sand, and her almond eyes gradually lost focus...
The peach - blossom courtyard was deep, with falling petals everywhere.
The writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were gently placed in front of the open window. The willow branches caressed the pink walls and black tiles. The peach blossoms fluttered, bringing a wisp of fragrance.
In the courtyard, there was a blurry figure lying in front of the window. The courtyard was light - colored, half of the courtyard wall was covered by the pink peach blossoms shrouded in white mist, and the newly sprouted willow branches also hung down on the surface of the small pond.
The person in front of the window seemed to have something on her mind. There were two blushes on her face. Her eyebrows were beautiful. She gently propped her head up with her hand, her intelligent almond eyes slightly open. The brocade sleeve embroidered with green flower patterns accidentally slipped down, revealing a section of fair arm.
"Like wisps of tobacco over the river, catkins flying all over the town, and the continuous rain during the plum - ripening season..."
Her almond eyes blinked gently, and her small diamond - shaped lips curved.
A delicate embroidered ball rolled into view. The delicate girl was startled. In the courtyard, a slender hand picked up the embroidered ball. Following the hand with her eyes, a woman in a light apricot - colored silk dress was holding the ball with both hands. Sensing the girl's gaze, she turned to look at her. Her long black hair was gently pulled up, with a white feather obliquely inserted. She blinked her eyes, her willow - leaf eyebrows curving, with a faint smile on her face.
"Xiaoliu, are you reciting poems again?" The woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress walked towards her with the embroidered ball in her hand, a gentle smile on her somewhat similar face.
The delicate girl gave a bright smile, stood up, and looked at the woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress through the window. She said, "Elder sister, are you back?"
The woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress stretched out her slender finger and put it in front of her lips, whispering, "Shh." She walked to the window, put down the embroidered ball, and smiled sweetly. "Father doesn't know I'm back yet. We mustn't let him know, or he'll surely confine me."
The delicate girl quickly nodded and said with a smile, "Elder sister went to see elder brother - in - law secretly again? Are you going to marry him?"
The woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress half - lowered her almond eyes, and her fair cheeks gradually turned pink. She whispered, "Yes. He doesn't know I want to marry him yet."
"Is elder brother - in - law good to you?" The delicate girl blinked her almond eyes and asked excitedly.
The woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress looked up at her and nodded, saying, "Yes. I'll bring him to meet my Xiaoliu when I get the chance."
The delicate girl happily said "Okay". The woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress stretched out her slender finger and tucked back the girl's loose hair, her almond eyes full of affection.
The delicate girl looked at the woman in the light apricot - colored silk dress and curved her lips into a smile.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the peach blossoms fell. A petal floated into the small pond. The figures of the two gradually blurred and finally turned into two faint silhouettes...
Su Xiaoliu opened her eyes and quietly looked at the curtain. Her almond eyes were full of sorrow.
She lowered her head, picked up the green silk dress beside her and put it on. Then she bent down to put on her embroidered shoes, walked to the small window, and reached out to push it open.
In the distance, the cloud - shrouded mountains were barren, and there was also dead wood and stubborn stones nearby. It was a desolate and deserted scene.
