Aware of the danger they were facing at this moment, they glanced around with dreamy eyes, only to find that the shadow guards who were supposed to be guarding Sima Luo City were nowhere to be seen. They looked sideways at the tower with lights in the distance, and were about to
When she opened her mouth to call for help, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sima Luocheng beside her shaking his head towards her. Just when she was wondering if her eyesight was wrong, she heard the woman in black in front of her suddenly speak.
"I am Ying'er, Chu Ying'er! I wonder if your Majesty still remembers my miserable sister Ye'er. She was originally named Chu! But after arriving at the Jin Mansion, everyone just called her Ye'er.
No one remembers her last name anymore." She specially emphasized the pronunciation of the word 'Chu', as if just to attract Sima Luocheng's attention.
Sure enough, when Sima Luocheng heard her say her name was Chu Ying'er, his always indifferent expression was finally shocked for a moment. He raised his hand to brush away Xi Meng who was blocking his side, and met Chu Ying'er's pair of eyes full of hatred.
With his eyes wide open, he slowly said: "Who are you, Yun Niang?"
Yun Niang was confused and wanted to step forward, but Luo Cheng raised his hand slightly to indicate that she didn't have to do this. She had to stay on one side and listened quietly to Chu Ying'er talking about the long-lasting story.
past events.
It turns out that Yun Niang was once the personal maid of Sima Luocheng's mother, Mrs. Ying. After Mrs. Ying's death, she was given to Chu Ming, the captain of the Ministry of War, as her concubine. She gave birth to a daughter named Ying'er, but because of her low status, she was not favored by Chu Ming.
like.
After that, for some unknown reason, she was kicked out by Chu Ming, but Ying'er stayed in Chu Mansion.
Soon, Yun Niang became the wet nurse of the third son Luo Xi. Because of her meticulous care of Luo Xi, she won the queen's heart.
But then he suddenly suffered from hysteria and pushed the third son into the lake, which led to the queen's death and Luo Xi's illness that lingered on her bed for the rest of her life.
"No one knows who recommended her to become Young Master Luo Xi's wet nurse. No one knows why she suffered a sudden hysteria and hurt the Young Master and the Queen. Even my father doesn't know. I only remember that he often looked at her.
He sighed in the direction of Chaoyang Palace, but said nothing. When I was three years old, he married Ye'er's mother, and he never mentioned my mother again. Since having Ye'er, my father has been more and more towards me.
She became more and more indifferent, until later she simply treated me as a maid to serve Ye'er. Until my father and Ye'er's mother passed away one after another, I had completely become Ye'er's maid. Although she called me sister in private, outsiders did not
I know that there is another Chu Ying'er. The same goes for the old General Jin who my father has always been with. He only regarded me as Ye'er's maid and brought me back to the Jin Mansion..."
When Chu Ying'er talked about this, the look on her face was not as cold as before. Especially when she talked about Ye'er, there was even a touch of tenderness in her eyes.
But when she talked about Jinfu, a coldness suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she almost gritted her teeth, "Why did you do that to Ye'er? Do you know that she is my only relative in this world? Do you know that she thinks you are
Brother, what about you? You actually used her as a target? Do you know how painful it was when she died? If your arrow had missed one more point, she would have survived. But you are the son of Luo Cheng who can shoot through the Yangtze at every step, how could you let her?
Is there any chance of survival?" As she spoke, she suddenly raised her right hand, Xi Meng felt a light flash in front of her eyes, and when she looked again, there was a long sword on Luo Cheng's neck.
Before she could think about Chu Ying'er's words, Xi Meng was about to take action, but saw Sima Luocheng's wide sleeves raised slightly, still signaling that she didn't need to step forward.
"We have practiced martial arts together for many years. In order to improve our riding and shooting skills, General Jin proposed to use living animals as targets. Although I didn't want to, I didn't object. But..." Sima Luocheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickering.
"But I never knew that the person in the dense forest that day was Ye'er, let alone that she..."
Hearing this, Xi Meng was surprised. He actually used living people as targets to practice riding and shooting? He thought it was just Chu Ying'er looking for a reason to kill him, but she didn't want him to really do it...
"Don't try to shirk! If you hadn't nodded, how would old thief Jin dare to use my sister as a target for you? Take your life, Sima Luocheng!" Chu Ying'er shouted sharply, her face suddenly turned cold, and the murderous intent in her eyes immediately appeared.
It was three points heavier, and the sword on his neck was already close to his still bleeding wound. Sima Luocheng only heard a low groan, Shi Meng hurriedly came to his senses, gathered spiritual power in his palm and moved forward.
Swinging, Chu Ying'er felt pain, her hand loosened, and the sword clattered to the ground.
However, Sima Luocheng remained on the spot, not evading. Chu Ying'er ignored the severe pain in her arm. When she was about to strike down with a palm, he raised his sleeve to block it, quickly drew out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed Chu Ying'er.
Ying'er's waist and abdomen would never have been injured by him due to her skill.
It's just that his sword thrust was very fast and accurate, and there was a dream on the side to help him with spiritual power. When Chu Ying'er wanted to dodge, she already noticed a sharp pain in her waist that went straight into her heart and lungs, and her movements were sluggish, accompanied by
My body also started to become unstable.
Although Xi Meng felt some sympathy for Chu Ying'er, if he couldn't capture her now, he was afraid that once she escaped, there would be no chance to catch her.
So he hurriedly shouted in the distance, "Here comes someone! There are assassins, there are assassins!"
Someone in the distance seemed to have heard her call, and someone was approaching quickly with a torch. Shi Meng was about to activate the illusion again to trap Chu Ying'er.
But even though Chu Ying'er was seriously injured, her expression remained unchanged, and she didn't care about her actions. She even had some contempt and disdain, "It's just that you used your little trick on me once!"
Chu Ying'er's words made Xi Meng's heart freeze, and her hands that performed the technique were trembling a little. She was originally a half-full in terms of technique, but now after hearing Chu Ying'er's words, her heart became more and more uncertain.
At this moment of hesitation, she heard Chu Ying'er say to Sima Luocheng: "I said I would watch you step into despair until your country is ruined and your family is destroyed. Now the fun has just begun! Haha.
!" Her laughter was like a ghost in the quiet night, which was disturbing.
She finished speaking, and her figure had disappeared into the boundless darkness, as if she had never appeared.
Only the unpleasant smell of blood in the air reminded Shi Meng that she had indeed been here.
She was obviously seriously injured, but she managed to escape like nothing happened. While Shi Meng marveled at her high level of Qing Gong, she couldn't help but blush at her own incompetent skills.
When Xi Meng was looking in the direction where Chu Ying'er disappeared, the sound of messy footsteps could be heard behind her, and they were finally here.
Originally, for the sake of safety, her tent was the only one within ten feet of the central military tent in Sima Luo City, while the military tents of the left and right lieutenants and others were far away. Now these guards must have heard her call for help.
The sound just came.
Before the guards could approach, she had already supported Sima Luocheng and walked into the tent. She turned around and shouted at the guards who were rushing towards her: "Quickly send the military doctor to enter the tent. Chang Yi and Xu Rong will stay, and the rest will come."
People are strictly guarded everywhere and are not allowed to leave their posts without permission!"
