In a dilapidated temple outside Qingzhou City, Li Yu had a high fever for three days.

In a daze, she dreamed of her childhood.

Her mother always combed her hair gently, and her father taught her how to draw the bow and shoot arrows.

But when Meng woke up, there was only a pile of cold ashes and a few equally miserable wounded soldiers around him.

"General, I heard a piece of news."

Old Zhou limped in, holding a piece of stick.

He whispered in Li Yu's ear:

"Your mother...is still alive and lives in Maple Leaf Lane in the south of the city."

Li Yu raised his head suddenly, and his cracked lips trembled slightly.

"……take me!"

-

At the deepest part of Maple Leaf Alley, in front of a low thatched house.

Li Yu stood here for a long time.

She should have been a majestic female general of the Northern Frontier, but at this moment, she was a stray dog.

My palms are sticky and full of sweat.

"General, you're not going in?"

Lao Zhou stood not far away and looked around vigilantly.

Then he urged in a low voice.

Li Yu took a deep breath.

Finally, he raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Who?"

An old voice came from inside the house.

Shuffling footsteps could be heard inside.

After a while, the door opened.

A white-haired old woman stood at the door, staring at her with cloudy eyes.

After a while, she stretched out her hand tremblingly:

"Fish, fish?"

Li Yu's eyes were filled with tears; he hadn't heard this familiar voice for a long time.

She knelt down suddenly: "Mother, my daughter is back!"

When the old woman heard this, she rushed forward and hugged her, crying heartbreakingly:

"My son, I thought you died on the battlefield!"

Li Yu hugged her thin body back.

The feeling of self-blame overwhelmed her.

-

This night was the most sound sleep Li Yu had had in the past six months.

A warm bed and hot soup brought by my mother.

Li Yu looked at his mother's face. She had aged a lot.

The originally clear eyes also became much more cloudy.

The more I watch, the sadder I feel.

The old woman kept on talking about what had happened over the years.

My father died of illness.

The family property was taken over by relatives.

She makes a living by weaving alone.

As Li Yu listened, he felt more and more sad.

She was defending her country abroad, but she couldn't even bow to her closest relatives.

However, listening to her mother's arguments made her feel inexplicably at peace.

At least, her mother was still alive, so she still had a home.

-

On the evening of the third day, as it was about to get dark, Li Yu was chopping wood in the backyard.

Mother brought a bowl of chicken soup.

"Fish, drink it while it's hot."

As she said this, the old woman also had a kind smile on her face.

Li Yu took the bowl and paused slightly.

When I lowered my head, I saw my own distorted reflection in the turbid soup.

And the cold light of a dagger.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

"boom!"

She crushed the bowl to pieces, and the boiling soup splashed all over the floor.

In the old woman's sleeve, a poisoned hairpin had already pierced three inches in front of her throat.

Li Yu reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist.

Bloodshot eyes, hoarseness:

"……Why?"

The kindness on the old woman's face completely disappeared, leaving only coldness:

"Someone is offering a hundred ounces of gold to buy your life."

When Li Yu heard this, he suddenly felt relieved for some reason.

But he raised his heart again.

"You...are not my mother!"

She stared at the old woman.

But in the past few days she never allowed herself to doubt, proving that she must have had contact with her mother before.

"Where is my mother?"

Li Yu's tone suddenly turned cold, and his eyes became much sharper than before.

The old woman grinned, revealing her broken yellow teeth, but her tone was particularly vicious:

"Your mother died a long time ago, her bones are almost rotten!"

-

boom--

As soon as these words came out, Li Yu saw a blood-red color in front of his eyes.

With a sudden force, he broke the old woman's wrist.

The poison hairpin fell to the ground with a clang.

The old woman screamed, but she was still laughing:

"You think... I'm the only one who wants to kill you?"

After saying this, he laughed a few more times:

"The entire Qingzhou is your burial place. Once you come in, don't even think about leaving alive!"

People from Beijin want to kill her, and people from the imperial court also want to kill her!

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of dense footsteps outside the dilapidated thatched house.

‘Swish swish’

The arrow pierced through the window paper and nailed into the wooden bench she had just sat on.

Li Yu rolled over suddenly to avoid it, walked quickly into the kitchen, pulled out a wooden stick from the stove, and smashed it towards the hut with his backhand.

'boom'

The flames instantly jumped up to the thatched roof and the dry thatch was instantly ignited.

Burns very fast.

Amid the billowing smoke, Li Yu pulled out the axe from the wooden stake, kicked down the back wall, and leaped into the night.

-

The night in Qingzhou City is bitterly cold.

Li Yu was holding a notched axe and moving back and forth in the narrow alley.

The torches of the pursuers behind him were approaching like poisonous snakes.

"The rebel general Li Yu is here!"

"A bounty of 100 taels will be offered to anyone who kills her!"

The sound seemed to echo throughout the entire Qingzhou City.

Coming from all directions were not only soldiers, but also assassins and gangsters...

Even... there are some veterans who once served under her.

Just as he ran into an alley, a scarred Chinese man blocked the entrance.

"Chen San?"

Li Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and his tone was incredulous:

"You want to kill me too?"

Chen San's eyes flickered, but he still raised the knife firmly:

"General, I'm sorry...my mother at home is waiting for money for her medical treatment."

Li Yu smiled, and his smile was colder than the wind in northern Xinjiang!

"it is good!"

She spoke softly, and then raised her hand suddenly.

The axe flashed and blood splattered three feet away.

She picked up Chen San's knife on the ground and closed her eyes slightly.

Step away quickly.

-

She fought her way from the south to the north of the city.

I replaced three knives with rolled blades.

The more he killed, the more tireless he became, as if his entire body had been immersed in a pool of blood.

There were long trails of blood on the bluestone road, some from the enemy and some from her.

The arrow wound on his left shoulder burst open, and warm blood flowed down his tightly-fitting clothes.

Every step feels like walking on the edge of a knife.

"Cough cough!"

She spat out a mouthful of blood foam on the ground and gasped while leaning on the knife.

The city gate in front was closed, and the city wall was filled with defenders with bows and arrows drawn.

This scene was a dead end for anyone who saw it.

Li Yu looked up at the gray sky. It was almost dawn.

She thought of the snow at Yugu Pass and the poisonous soup her 'mother' had brought her.

Thinking of those old subordinates who drew their swords against each other for the bounty, I felt confused.

What is real in this world?

She was loyal to the king, but he wanted her dead.

Be filial to your parents, even if both parents are dead.

Comrades? But they turned their swords against each other.

"Ah……"

Li Yu wiped the blood off his face, but his tentacles felt slippery.

She suddenly burst into laughter, and her laughter scared away the crows on the dead tree.

It also frightened the pursuers behind him.

"come!"

The bloody knife was pointed at the crowd.

"Isn't it going to kill me?"

-

None of the people in Qingzhou dared to sleep that night.

The brave ones hid in the dark and witnessed the whole process.

The female general was like a dying wolf, tearing the hunter's net with her teeth.

She climbed up the city wall by stepping on the pile of corpses.

When the arrow pierced her calf, she threw the knife with her backhand, and the powerful force directly nailed the captain who was commanding the arrows to the wall.

The moment she jumped off the city wall, the rockets shot by the pursuers set the hem of her clothes on fire.

But she turned around and grinned.

That smile was like an evil spirit from hell, making the people chasing after him stop where they were, not daring to move forward.

Soon, Li Yu fell into the ice hole in the moat and sank to the dark bottom of the river in the blink of an eye.
