"Let's go, if you don't go, the fire will burn here."
Qiao Yan suddenly whispered in her ear.
Ming Lanruo didn't struggle any more and just nodded. Only then did Qiao Yan let go of his hand.
She understood Yueniang's choice.
As a lover, I couldn't keep my beloved boy, and even in the hope of revenge, my innocence was taken away by another man.
As a mother, you can only watch your children turn into beasts.
As a red-blooded assassin, he was powerless to prevent his colleagues from falling.
Therefore, she lived in the "coffin" Liumu made for herself for more than twenty years, paying homage to her deceased comrades, paying homage to her desperate love, and burying her heart.
From this hell on earth that has been tortured for twenty years, death is the only escape.
She went into the underworld alone...to find her young general.
She walked forward in a trance along the dark corridor, and the blood in Yueniang's throat almost seemed to splash on her face.
Is it like the immortal Yueniang who walked across the Naihe Bridge? It's her who thinks of many old things in her previous life...
Qiao Yan watched her expressionless and staggering ahead, and sighed secretly.
The young empress was probably shocked by this scene, and she didn't know what she thought of, but she looked so lost.
Please comfort her later.
The exit of the secret passage was by a huge toon tree, a hidden place. Ming Lanruo walked out and looked at the burning small building in the distance with some confusion.
"Qiao Yan...why can life be so difficult and miserable in this life? If we hadn't come to the village, would Yueniang have died?"
In her previous life, she was not recognized by the Red Blood Legion and had never met anyone in the army, so... could Yue Niang still be alive if she had never met her?
Did she change Yueniang's fate?
"Her heart died more than 20 years ago. Your appearance is an opportunity for her liberation and the fulfillment of her mission." Qiao Yan said calmly.
Yeah?
Ming Lanruo looked at the dark sky, with dark clouds covering the sun and no stars.
"On the other side of the Naihe Bridge...is there anyone still waiting for Yueniang? Will Uncle Guanyun still be there waiting for his sister? Will they have an afterlife?"
She suddenly asked Cang Qiao in a low voice.
He looked at the blazing fire in the distance and said calmly: "Maybe it's just that the next life is so empty."
The smell of burning wood wafted in the air, and sparks crackled.
Ming Lanruo closed her eyes, and suddenly reached out and gently wiped her face. There seemed to be hot, red blood splashed on it.
It belongs to Yueniang, no, it belongs to Cang Qiao...
It was from the hideous, bloody wound on his throat in his previous life...
Ming Lanruo turned around, raised her eyes, and looked deeply at the person standing behind her.
This was not the first time she had seen the beautiful yet cruel scene of sacrifice in the fire.
She suddenly reached out and touched his throat.
At this position, the sharp arrow pierced his throat, tearing open his beautiful and fragile throat.
She trembled slightly, tears sliding down her cheeks silently: "Cang Qiao... Cang Qiao..."
Are you in pain? It must have been very painful when you died... Your blood is so hot...
He looked at the girl in his arms quietly, what was she looking at through him?
Why is his little empress so sad?
The sadness was so heartbreaking that it even made him question whether his previous arrangements for Yueniang were too cruel.
He sighed lowly, stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms: "Don't be like this..."
Ming Lanruo held his face with her slender white hands and suddenly said: "I love you..."
He was stunned, his eyes locked tightly on her slender waist, and he whispered hoarsely: "Ruoruo..."
Is it the regret of Yueniang and Major General Guanyun that they didn't have time to say they love you that makes his little girl so sad?
But she grabbed the back of his head, pulled him down, looked up at his deep and surprised eyes, raised her head and kissed his lips deeply.
She trembled between his thin lips and said: "The most profound love is that it lasts forever, and the most rare thing is to be together... For the rest of my life, I only wish to be with you day and night, and stay... together."
Fortunately, I still have the opportunity to say these words.
Fortunately, I have never been late in this life, nor have I missed you.
How lucky we are that this life is our past life and our next life!
Regardless of the past or the future, I only hope that you and I can love the present and fulfill the misses and regrets of our previous lives.
…
There was a fire in the city, and the small inn in the north of the city was also on fire.
In the light of the fire, there were constant sounds of fighting.
"Be careful not to let the spy get away!"
"Don't let them go!"
"Ahhhh..."
Gu Bijun sat indifferently in his wheelchair, watching his people surround the small building and fight with the people inside.
But not long after, I suddenly heard someone screaming.
Then, he saw his guard captain covering his injured shoulder in embarrassment and coming over to report: "Miss, two people got away. The rest of the guards will either surrender or be killed by us during the resistance!"
Gu Bijun raised an eyebrow: "Which two escaped? Are there those named Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao?"
The guard captain hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "The other two escaped. I heard they have a good relationship with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao."
Gu Bijun's face changed slightly, and she said gloomily: "Li Feng, go immediately and check if the guards in the small building are Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!"
Uncle Tang had someone send her a message today, saying that he suspected there was something wrong with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and that it was probably someone from Dongchang who was hiding around him in disguise.
He asked her to arrest the person first today.
She knew that Uncle Tang must be hiding something, but it didn't matter.
She was so excited that she didn't even go to have dinner with her mother.
As soon as she heard that Xiao Qiao had a problem, she knew that her opportunity had come. She could not only catch Xiao Qiao to vent her anger, but also let her father see what she was capable of!
But looking at the arrest situation today, it doesn’t look good!
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Li Feng turned around and reported to Gu Bijun with an ugly face: "Miss, there are no Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao among those guards."
Gu Bijun frowned and was about to order the entire city to search for people.
But someone came hurriedly, with a pale face, trembling and kneeling on the ground, reporting to Gu Bijun: "Miss, it's not good! The boss, Mrs. Yue, Magistrate Tang, and the second young master... they are all in trouble.
Got it!"
"What?" Gu Bijun looked at the person kneeling on the ground in disbelief.
For a moment, she couldn't understand what the other party meant: "What happened to them?"
What do you mean something happened to her parents, second brother, and Uncle Tang?
But looking at the look of the person who came to report, she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
The man was his father's personal bodyguard. He fell to the ground crying instantly: "There was a fire suddenly in Madam's yard. The head of the family, Madam Yue, the second young master, and Magistrate Tang all died in the fire."
Gu Bijun's vision went dark for an instant, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, how is that possible! I don't believe it, take me there right away!"
Standing on a big tree not far away, Jing He and Chen Ning watched with cold eyes as Gu Bijun was hurriedly walked into the city surrounded by a large group of people.
"Sure enough, Mr. Qiantose said that the bastard named Tang will definitely deal with us tonight, and it's true!" Jing He sneered.
Chen Ning frowned slightly: "But how did that man know that the man named Tang would take action tonight?"
They all know what the fat man named Tang has planned——
It was nothing more than using Mr. Gu to fight them, acting like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind, reaping the benefits.
But why did Chitose master the timing so accurately?
Jinghe was silent for a moment, that was because Master Qiantose had gone to see Mrs. Yue.
I'm afraid that Mrs. Yue will die calmly tonight, and even hold a Hongmen Banquet, summoning Gu Daji, Tang Zhifu, Gu Er, Gu Bijun and others to the small building to catch them all. This idea was all the idea of Master Qiansui.
But the only thing that man didn't expect was that Magistrate Tang did not use his own people to take action, but asked Gu Bijun to take action for him.
In order to be greedy for power and capture the eldest lady, Gu Bijun did not go to Mrs. Yue's Hongmen Banquet and escaped.
Master Qiantose told her about this, but she didn't want to tell Chen Ning. This man was already a little prejudiced against Master Qiantose.
If Chen Ning knew about it, he might think that Master Qiantose is too cold and ruthless, and go and say something bad about him to the people at the Red Blood Headquarters, that would be bad.
Whether Chitose is good or bad, only the eldest lady is qualified to judge and decide.
She waved her hand lazily: "No matter why, let's go find the eldest lady and Mr. Qiantose first. I'm afraid it won't just stop like this tonight!"
Not only will it not stop, maybe these two days will be the key to capturing Gujiazhai!
…
When Gu Bijun rushed to Mrs. Yue's yard in the city, she looked at the blazing fire in front of her, and her whole face was pale in the firelight.
"Mother! Father!! Second brother!!!"
She suddenly stood up from the wheelchair, couldn't help but stumble a few steps, and screamed miserably while trembling all over.
Gu Da had already received the news and rushed from the tower. He couldn't help but wanted to rush into the fire crazily!
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire! Why, why do these things happen? What do you guys do for a living!"
Everyone stepped forward to hold him back, urging him to show mercy and surrender. Some people close to Mr. Gu told what they thought was the "truth"——
The Tang magistrate coveted his wife and tried to deceive her tonight, but the lady told the boss about it, and the Tang magistrate's conspiracy was exposed and he was caught.
The incident involved his wife, and Gu Dagu drove everyone away. As a result, the small building suddenly caught fire due to unknown manipulations by Magistrate Tang.
"So... they died in the fire. The man named Tang was too cruel!"
Gu Bijun felt dizzy and her eyes were red. She always felt that something was wrong!
Everything about tonight was so unusual and wrong!
While he was talking, he suddenly heard a muffled sound outside the city gate, as if there were thousands of troops galloping.
Then the sentries on duty in the city sounded their horns and shouted back and forth - "Night attack! Night attack! The enemy is attacking at night!"
Gu Bijun's eyes sharpened. Sure enough, the death of his parents and younger brother was not a simple matter! It must be the conspiracy of King Qin and Concubine Ming!
Otherwise, how could the imperial army know that there would be chaos in the city tonight? How could they know that tonight they would lose their father as their spiritual support!
She put away her grief in an instant and gave a stern order to Gu Da: "Brother, lead people to defend the city immediately. Father is gone, and we are the pillars of the Gu family village!"
