Three days ago, Rongguo went to the palace in Kyoto.
A carriage plunged into the woods and finally stopped outside the palace. Jinyun City flew out of the carriage, went straight up from the foot of the mountain along the broken palace wall, and finally jumped in by hooking the eaves.
The palace roads have long been covered with rotten leaves and are filled with dirt. Everywhere is filled with desolation and dilapidation. Only a crooked coral tower in the harem still retains some of the old glory of the royal family.
It's a pity that time has passed and everything no longer exists.
Jinyun Cheng took off his bamboo hat and looked up at the Coral Tower, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Do you still remember the deepest scene in your mind? Is it similar to this place?" The sudden voice became clearer and brighter as the man turned out of the coral tower, "Everyone has his own past, Jinyun City
, where is your past?”
Jin Yuncheng's eyes were sharp, and the sword in his hand was ready to be unsheathed at any time, "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be Qiluo!" She took two steps towards her, "You invited me here, what do you want to say?"
"I have been with Liang Luan for so many years, and now I have gone to Mo Mansion. This is the place with the most secrets in Quan Ruoshui... I know your past..."
Before she finished speaking, the white shadow appeared in front of Liang Qiluo like a bolt of lightning and stuck her throat, "What does it have to do with you?"
Liang Qiluo looked at her disdainfully, with the corner of her mouth tilted and a weird smile: "Jinyun City, a native of Linguo, is a dead soldier! You also have a younger sister named Mo Xuan, who is the number one in Yunlai Pavilion..."
"Absurd!" Jinyuncheng's hand became even more forceful.
"But that's not what I want to tell you. What I want to tell you is that your identity is not just a dead soldier!" Liang Qiluo stretched out her hand with difficulty, and a palm-long bamboo sign hung on her index finger.
Colored in vermilion, there is a line of writing.
Chu, Wei Jin. On the other side, it is her name: Yuncheng.
She recognized that this style of bamboo sign was the life and death sign compiled by Mo Fei, and Wei was the surname of the King of Chu.
Chu State?
Jinyuncheng's mind was confused for a moment, and Liang Qiluo took the opportunity to break away, retreating continuously to keep a safe distance from her.
"You were born in the palace of the King of Chu, and you are the first daughter of the King of Chu. One day in the middle of winter, there was a heavy snowfall, and you were sent out of the palace by your wet nurse and sent to Linguo."
"How did you learn this?!"
"I said, I live next to two people who have the most secrets. One of them has no defense against me, and the other... Heh, do you think Murphy accepted me as his adopted daughter out of conscience? It's just that I hold him in his arms.
There are just too many secrets!" She threw the bamboo sign at her feet, "That wet nurse is from Mo Fei, and she collects baby girls from various places for him. Some of these baby girls were sent to Rong Guo, and some were sent to Rong Guo.
Linguo. You, Jinyuncheng, are the batch of baby girls sent to Linguo! Your former master was actually in cahoots with Mo Fei. Mo Xuan killed the general and thought he would be able to escape the sea of suffering. Unexpectedly, he came to Rongguo.
Stepped into hell again!"
The situation in Jinyuncheng's eyes was changing, and she staggered down, almost unable to hold herself up. On the bamboo sign lying flat at her feet, the red name seemed like a needle piercing her heart. She had been a dead soldier for many years, and the knife edge was licking blood.
, she had escaped death countless times, and she had forgotten what it was like to be carefree. But at this moment, someone said to her, you are the royal family, and your enemy is actually the master you have worked for for many years!
What an irony!
"Is what you said true?" Jinyuncheng tried to catch some deception in her eyes, but what he saw was her determined gaze. Jinyuncheng instantly felt as if he had been thrown into an ice pool, and his whole body was chilled.
The package and every inch of the skin were covered with frost.
As the sun set, the sound of Mi Mi seemed to be coming from the old palace. She followed the sound and passed through the afterglow and dust, as if she could really see inside the palace, where the King of Chu and the officials were drinking, having fun, laughing and chatting.
But no matter how true the illusion is, it is still an illusion. Jinyun City has killed countless people and escaped from the enemy's traps countless times. This trick can still be seen through. She sneered, "Miss Liang took this risk to leak the secret, it seems like
You really want to help me, but I have never interacted with you, so why do you have a kind heart to help me now?"
Liang Qiluo said: "Of course I don't have the kindness to help you, but Mr. Su needs you!"
"Su Yan?" Jin Yuncheng recalled that Mo Fei told her to wait for news from Liangshan before leaving for the Kingdom of Zhao. Liangshan was the place where Mo Fei privately forged weapons, and Su Yan and Xi Lou suddenly went to the Kingdom of Chu and had to pass through Liangshan County! Could it be that
…
"Didn't Su Yan and Xilou go to Chu State, but also to Liangshan?" Jinyun City suddenly realized: "They went to investigate Mo Fei?"
"Mr. Jin must have affection for Mr. Su. Now Mr. Su and the boss may be in a life-or-death situation. Please help."
Jinyun City was in trouble. When Su Yan was in danger, it must be Mo Fei's plan. How could she help? She took out her sword from its sheath and stuck it hard on the ground, "As you can see, I am a dead man, but I kill
Without Mo Fei, no one knows how many dead soldiers are hiding in the dark around him, not to mention that he is far away in Zhao State, and Su Yan is trapped in Liangshan. If Mo Fei really captures her, no one knows where he is hiding.
, how to save?”
"I don't need you to kill him, I just need you to do one thing for me."
Jin Yuncheng frowned: "What's the matter?"
"The purpose of Mo Fei's visit to the Kingdom of Zhao was not to find any weapons records, but to prepare for rebellion. Leaving you and Ge Yiyan in Kyoto is nothing more than passing on news and cooperating with others. Now I want you to pass on false news to confuse him and create time for us!"
rebellion?
Jinyun City suddenly became vigilant. What Liang Qiluo said did not seem to be false, but... Mo Fei never mentioned that he wanted to rebel! How did they conclude?
"How did you know that he was going to rebel? Why did Su Yan suddenly go to Liangshan? You...you had a plan?"
"In a word, do you agree or not?"
Looking at the yellow-haired girl in front of him, Jin Yuncheng felt ridiculous. He had crawled out of the dead after all and had killed countless people, but now he was being held by her nose. He felt a little unhappy for a moment and said to her: "You said so.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not, so I might as well go and verify it with Zuo Qing myself!”
"There's no need to trouble Miss Yuncheng to make this trip. I've been waiting here for a long time."
Seeing Zuo Qing walking out of the hidden place in the corridor, Jinyun Cheng was a little surprised, "Since the Master is here, why are you hiding in the dark?"
"About you, Qiluo risked her life to find it from Mo Fei's darkroom. Since it is her credit, it is natural for her to contact you." Zuo Qing stood in the beam of light, smiling slightly, as usual.
The indifference is very different.
"Mo Fei asked me to keep an eye on you. It seems that I guessed right. You really have different intentions, but why did you betray him? You can only get to where you are today because of Mo Fei's support." Jinyun Cheng slowly surpassed him.
As she got closer, she was always curious about what was going on in Zuo Qing's mind. What he was doing was always unpredictable, not only about Mo Fei, but also about Su Yan.
"Are you really looking for something for the prince?" Jin Yuncheng could only think of this answer.
The corners of Zuo Qing's mouth rose, a hint of disdain evident on his face.
"It seems not!"
"Miss Yuncheng, there is no need to guess. In short, I came to you today because I really need your help. Su Yan is very close to you, so you must be willing to save her life, right?"
"Of course I respect Su Yan, but what can I do?"
"Help us pass on false news and hold him back. Whether it's to save Su Yan or if he really wants to rebel, he must contact you, and your false news will definitely help us squeeze out time. As long as we have time
, I have a chance to turn the situation around!"
Jinyun Cheng looked at him solemnly: "Mo Fei, do you really want to rebel?"
"Yes or no, you wait for his news. When the time comes, all the truth will be revealed." Zuo Qing hesitated for a moment and then said, "It seems that Mo Fei has never revealed his plan to you from beginning to end, but you do this."
It’s really not worth it for him to sacrifice his life!”
"Aren't you the same?" Jinyuncheng refused to give in, with a slight anger on his face.
Zuo Qing laughed at himself: "It seems that we have all been fooled by him, but I have been fooled by him for many years, and it is worth it!"
As the sun set, the palace gradually faded into darkness, and the coral tower gradually lost its luster. Before Jinyun City left, he still asked a question that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.
"Do you really not regret Su Yan?"
Zuo Qing just looked up at the dark red afterglow and smiled bitterly.
Liangshan.
After waiting for an unknown number of days and nights, Su Yan almost ran out of energy and sat in the corner, staring at the movement outside. Xilou handed her a piece of cake, but she ignored it.
"You have to eat enough before you have the strength to escape. When the time comes, you'll be beaten or scolded. It's up to you."
"I'm worried. It's been so long and there's still no movement from the Chugou. I'm afraid that he will retreat. Then we will really die from this!"
Xilou looked outside the cell. He was bent over, pounding the iron block with a hammer. His face was red, and he hadn't changed his posture for a long time.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the other end, followed by a series of explosions. Suddenly, rocks flew everywhere and flames shot into the sky.
"The stove is exploding, everyone, run for your lives!"
I don't know who started shouting, and everyone immediately rushed out of the door and fled in all directions. The guards swarmed up, and the dead soldiers also jumped from the wooden bridge, but no matter how high their martial arts skills were, they could not withstand the frantic and resisting coolies.
Zhu Gou'er ran over from the crowd and cut off the door lock with an axe. Xilou also hurriedly helped Su Yan up and ran away.
While running away in a panic, Su Yan saw the coolies falling into a pool of blood one by one, but more people rushed up, some wielding hammers, some wielding iron that had not yet been refined, but the coolies who had been deprived of nutrition for a long time,
How can you resist a dead warrior with great martial arts skills!
Su Yan let go of Xilou's hand and stepped back step by step, "We agreed to leave together, how can we escape alone?" After saying that, he picked up the broken weapons that had been knocked down from the ground, turned around and joined the resistance team.
Xilou had never wanted to save these people. In his eyes, Su Yan was the most important. But now he realized that he was going further and further down the wrong road, and so was Su Yan.
There were only more than 20 dead soldiers and only a dozen guards, and nearly half of them had died in the random killings. Su Yan was naturally more than capable of dealing with the guards, but it was becoming more and more difficult for her to deal with the dead soldiers who had been trained for decades.
.
A gust of cold wind passed over the top of the head, and the folding fan painted with ink and ink swept across the dead man's body like a black shadow, and fell instantly. However, as soon as the wave was extinguished, at least 10 more people flew down from the dozens of holes above the head.
Thirty or fifty of them came down like rain, wearing masks and with murderous eyes. They seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the group just now. The coolies were so frightened that they all gathered in a pile and hid behind Su Yan.
On the edge of that abyss.
"Hurry, everyone jump down!" Chugou'er waved his hands and shouted behind the crowd, gesturing for everyone to follow him and jump into the abyss.
We have reached such a desperate situation. Even if we have never seen the true face of the abyss and do not know whether it is a pool or a pile of rocks below, we are at the end of the road and have to jump. Although the nearest few coolies were trembling with fear, they still
He closed his eyes and jumped straight down.
After a while, there were a few sounds of falling into the water, and then large numbers of coolies jumped in.
Listening to the sound that came back, Su Yan felt uneasy. She estimated that the underground river below was several feet above the ground. If it were the mountain wall behind Kuai Feng Town, she could climb it, but
Now there is a river...but she doesn't know how to swim.
The dead soldiers came out in droves and surrounded them densely.
Xilou roughly counted the heads and already had a plan in mind. Protecting Su Yan behind him, he waved his folding fan. The wind from the fan was like the wind of a sword, whirling away like a broken bamboo. Before the dead soldiers could react, several of them fell straight up.
Next. Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued the enemy and kicked out the flying rocks with his toes, hitting several dead soldiers who were about to kill them. The remaining few avoided the flying rocks and had already raised their swords to kill the generals. The west building quickly pushed the stove on one side.
He kicked them and killed several of them.
Back and forth, he was able to take advantage of the situation and save the day every time.
Wave after wave of sieges took place, and Xilou tried to take advantage of them. After half a stick of incense, only Su Yan and Xilou were left in the cave, and the dead soldiers were scattered all over the place.
The door of the corridor slowly rose, and then a voice came: "The master is so good at martial arts, he actually killed these well-trained warriors without leaving any trace of them. It's amazing!"
It was Ye Zhongyuan and Yang Quan.
Behind them, there were more than ten strong black-clothed and masked men. Looking at them from a distance, Xilou knew that they were completely different from those lying on the ground. At least, these could be regarded as real dead soldiers.
Ye Zhongyuan raised his hand and waved it down hard. The black-clothed and masked man suddenly rose from the ground and rushed forward. He didn't know when he had two swords in his hands. The speed was so fast that it left an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed and masked man
Xilou appeared in front of him with his sword raised. The light of the sword passed by, and it was blindingly white. He felt a chill on his neck. Xilou reached out to touch it, and his hand felt sticky.
"No, there's a big fight!" Xilou said, taking Su Yan's hand and retreating. The black-clothed and masked man also pressed forward step by step.
"Chief, this is the meeting gift that Lord Mo left for you, enjoy it!" Ye Zhongyuan said, laughing and getting into the corridor.
Such a master can no longer be used. There are more than ten of them. No matter how strong Xilou's martial arts is, he can't resist so many well-trained people. He held Su Yan's hand tightly and stepped back step by step.
, until there is no retreat...
The cave was roasted as red as on fire by dozens of stoves, the heat was suffocating, and there were heat waves everywhere. Su Yan's face was burned red, and her face was soaked with sweat. Xilou held her tightly
His hand was pressed against his chest. For the first time, he felt that the woman in front of him was so important to him.
"Ayan, don't be afraid, just hold your breath, I won't let you be in any more danger!"
Xi Lou's voice still echoed in his ears. Su Yan was already protected in his arms and was forced to follow his steps and jump into the air. The air above the abyss was still for just a moment, and as they plunged head down into the abyss, people around them
The sound of the wind suddenly became fierce. In addition to the wind that made her dizzy, what was whistling by was the images that flashed rapidly in her mind. When the master taught her how to swim in the water, there was Wei Zhen playing with her in the water.
At that moment, she remembered that she was supposed to be able to dive into the water, but because Wei Zhen deliberately scared her, she still dared not dive into the water...
Su Yan turned his head and stared at Xilou, looking at his outline and his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt strange and familiar at the same time.
The feeling of being plunged into the water was not good. The cold and biting water hit every inch of her skin, causing her to exhale most of the breath she had just held. Xilou held her tightly and swam towards the light, while behind him
, and countless pursuers jumped down.
The water flow was very fast, which saved them a lot of energy. However, Su Yan gradually couldn't hold on anymore. Her throat seemed to be pinched, no air entered, and her heart was about to explode! She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Xilou held her tight.
Being restrained, she could only desperately tell herself to hold on for a while, she was about to go out!
Hold it a little longer!
As the light in front of her became more and more abundant, and the realization became more and more vast, Su Yan's consciousness finally slowly disappeared. She only saw a lot of people floating on the water, a lot of blood, and someone pushed the blood aside to let her
Saw Zuo Qing...
As soon as Xilou left the water, he hurriedly pushed Su Yan up, and the pursuers behind him had already followed, breaking through the water and heading towards him. Xilou grabbed hold of the soil and spread it over, which temporarily relieved him, and then immediately dragged him away.
Follow Su Yan and retreat.
Dead men kept breaking through the water, and more and more of them were approaching him with long knives in their hands.
The situation was completely out of control. Xilou had no choice but to break branches to fight against them. However, how could a mere branch stand against hundreds of swords and guns? After several rounds, Xilou had no weapons in his hands, and the folding fan on his body was
It was also lost during the escape.
Just when there was nothing to do, a burst of arrows were heard behind him, and everything in front of him was pitch black, falling to the ground. The rain of arrows stopped, and all the pursuers were killed.
Xilou's hanging heart relaxed a little, but then he thought about it again. He hurriedly looked at Su Yan, but when he turned around, he saw Zuo Qing rushing out from behind the orderly array of archers in front of him, and picked him up first.
Su Yan pried open his mouth to breathe, once, twice...
Xilou wanted to stop him, but there was a very familiar voice next to his ear: "Master Fang has made a great contribution this time. When I return, I will explain everything to my father."
Xilou looked in shock and saw that it was the prince, and he quickly knelt down.
"It's all a matter within my duties!"
Wei Zixu looked at him with a half-smile, thinking that it was not easy for Zuo Qing to catch up with him this time, but you can't interfere and ruin his plan again!
Su Yan squirted out a mouthful of water and then slowly woke up. Looking at a familiar face that was no longer familiar, her heart felt cold. She thought she was dead, otherwise how could she see Zuo Qing? He was clearly far away
In Ruoshui, how could he come to save her? But this is good. I can finally take a good look at his face at such a close distance. I no longer have as many twists and turns as before when I was alive, and I don’t have to carry Xilou on my back.
With the burden of telling the truth, there was no need to think about whether Zuo Qing had liked her, or whether there would be a result between them. All external concerns were unimportant at this moment.
Su Yan gently held his face, just like when they first met in Kuai Feng Town, she looked at him carefully while he was asleep, and saw every contour of his face. She still
She still remembers that there was a very shallow scar on Zuo Qing's forehead. She wanted to remember it forever!
Even if she is reincarnated, she must remember it!
Zuo Qing couldn't help but hold her hand, put it close to his face, and struggled to say the words he had hidden in his heart for a long time.
"Ayan, I don't want anything anymore. I just want you. Let's leave."
Su Yan nodded with a charming smile.
She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but she didn't expect to hear it when she was dying. Thinking about it, she was somewhat regretful.
Su Yan threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. She was afraid that this sweet dream would fly away and she would never be able to hold on to it again. Zuo Qing patted her back gently and whispered in her ear: "Go to sleep."
, have a good sleep, I will still be by your side when you wake up."
Perhaps he was exhausted and his brain was suffocated by the water. Su Yan slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
All this was a dream in Su Yan's eyes, but it was a real reality in Xilou's eyes. The smile on Su Yan's lips and the emotion in his eyes made him feel miserable! In the past few months of getting along with Su Yan,
I have never had such feelings for him, but I have no reservations about Zuo Qing.
Xilou closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he failed in the end and was completely defeated.
Even when Zuo Qing passed by him with Su Yan in his arms, he didn't have the courage to look at them.
