Yue Chen Yin Chapter 8 Part2

Akiha: ? Prepare for some ride here

"Hmph!" A red horse comes out of the right formation. A Field Grade Officer with a long face and buff arms raises his huge sword and points it towards above the tower, "Brute Bai, don't you think to use all those decorative words! The act of you Yong Country raiding Jing Country under the reason of unsatisfied tributes, ignoring the lives of the people of both countries - this is an act of being inhuman; after losing to our General for countless times, and now having powerless people like the Mistress and Young Lady over as hostages in front of the military - this is an act having no conscience. Our General is someone that stands straight and does things rightly, how will he even be on the same group as people as inhuman and has no conscience as you lots!"

"General!" "General!" A number of Field Grade Officers come out with their horses and looks at father nervously.

That silver glaive made of pure steel is raised high up, the red crown on it floats along with the wind. Father tightens the rein, his body appears to be strong as he stands straight and he proudly sits on top of Wu Ya;

"I, Han Bai Qing, when alive, am the State General of You Country; and when I die, I will be the loyal ghost of You Country!"

The powerful voice echoes through the autumn wind, the power and strength within it resounds through the air. Feeling the raising of brother's chest, I extend my hand and hug his right hand that is holding the spear: We are proud of our father and we hold him in glory!

The people on the battlement moves slightly. Bai Zi Qi blanks out for a little and nods his head as he backs off. The Ming King with his golden crown tying his hair up appears on the battlement with red robe on him. He lowers his head and squints as he looks at father coldly: "Did the General not think about how the Madam and Young Lady that's supposed to be deep within the palace ends up at this Qian State, which is the border of three countries? Did the General not think about why did the news of Madam and Young Lady ever reach the front line?"

After saying this, father's brows slightly crease and he stares at the battlement. The army of the Three Militaries that was shouting strongly suddenly becomes quiet. I feel brother's chest moves rapidly and the panting above me becomes more and more heavy. "Father!" Brother shouts angrily and the hand holding the spear whitens with his grip, standing halfway. Father raises his left hand and brother humph lightly, slowly sitting back on his horse. When I raise my head, I see he has a face of dissatisfaction and his lips are pursed, clearly showing his jaw line, as if he is gnas.h.i.+ng.

"After this battle, Bai Qing will go and investigate later, the concern of the Ming King is unnecessary!" Father decisively replies. His voice feels as still as steel and iron, containing no hesitation.

"If that's so, then This King don't need to concern about Madam!" The gaze of the Ming King turns cruel and he swings his sleeve as he leaves, "Zi Qi, I will leave Madam Han to you. Do not disappoint This King!"

"Yes!" The brute with Bai in his name replies excitedly. He opens his fan and appears to be carefree, "Qian Qiao, Madam Han is to be rewarded to the brothers!"

Father bends his body to pick up the white feathered bow. He places the arrow onto it and the bow that is pulled looks like the autumn moon, the arrow that is released flies over like a shooting star. A yell of pain then can be heard on the tower. Bai Zi Qi covers his ear and limply falls down.

"No! No!" The scream of mother can be heard vividly.

"Jin Se!" Father shouts furiously and swings his glaive, "Pa.s.sing my order over, wash the Qian City down with blood!"

"Yes!" The Three Militaries reply at the same time, their anger sounds through the clouds.

Brother's chest is moving so rapidly as if it's going to explode soon, he shouts madly with a hoa.r.s.e voice: "Mother!"

My tears drops like rain, with sobbing voice that makes my words unclear: "Mother… Mother… Mother!"

The soldiers do not care about the arrow that rains down from the tower. They push the ladders over, supporting the war chariot, and with huge swords in their hands, they step over the corpse of those in front of them and keep on rus.h.i.+ng to the tower gate. The catapults at the back strongly settle down and a number of rocks fly over the corner of the tower, wails can be heard from the tower.

When the voices of those that kills and being killed sounded through the air, when the smell of blood shoots up the air, a slender figure suddenly appears on the parapet. "Bai Qing!" Mother has messy hair and looks unkempt, her fingers tightly grip onto the wall bricks and blood can be seen on the corner of her lips

"Jin Se!" Father pulls his bow and four arrows flies over, shooting precisely onto the soldiers behind her with muddled eyes. Countless soldiers rush onto her and they catch hold of mother's slender arm. They are about to drag mother away from the parapet.

"Bai Qing, hurry and shoot me! Shoot me!" Mother screams with all her strength.

Father lowers his bow and his cheeks are trembling. "Ha!" Brother kicks on the spur and rushes up. I grab onto the horse mane and tears fall from my eyes nonstop. My heart is so painful it feels like being cut up by countless blades. "Father! Careful!" Brother swings his spear and helps father to block off the arrows.

"Bai Qing! Bai Qing!" Mother grabs firmly onto the wall, her nails are breaking off slowly, just like flower petals that fall down along with the wind, so devastatingly bewitching.

"Bai Qing! Kill me!"

Father suddenly raises his bow and a gold arrow is placed on it.

"Father!" Me and brother shout at the same time.

"For the dignity of your mother!" Father clenches his jaw, his cheeks appear to be stiff his gaze is trembling and tears flow down on his strong and firm face. A sound can be heard as the bow breaks. That golden arrow pierces through strongly and flies across the sky as it lets out a cold light, it then lands precisely on mother's chest. The soldiers behind her are shocked and they let go of their hand blankly. Mother's hand touches the golden arrow that pierces through her chest and with a gentle and sweet smile, she looks at father affectionately. Her red lips open slightly, as if she is saying her final words of love

"Jin Se!" Father appears as if a wounded beast and he shouts, "Jin Se!"

Mother's eyes slowly become unfocused and she crookedly leans on the wall. A smile that looks like a b.l.o.o.d.y flower appears on her lips. She extends her arms and with her final strength, she flips over the wall. Her clothes fly along with the wind as she drops down the tower. Like the final blossom of Rubius Coronarius on the end of summer, quietly falling onto the b.l.o.o.d.y war ground.

"Jin Se!" Father uses the stick part of the glaive to hit the Wu Ya and flies off to the front.

My eyes which are blurred out by my tears suddenly see a number of crossbows are set up on the parapet. Can't care about the tears that are flowing down, I scream: "Father! Be careful!"
