Chapter 63: Death 2
Her heart suddenly ached uncontrollably, as if it had been slowly cut by a thin blade. Why did he do this? Was the long-planned plan so simply abandoned because she said "I don't want to marry you", or was it just a bitter ploy?
It's been half a year, she hasn't looked back, perhaps, she won't look back for the rest of her life, so doesn't he care?
As night fell, the soldiers of Xijon who were escorting the carriage stopped all their carriages and rested at the foot of a nearby mountain. In the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out, stretching for several miles, the convoy overturned on their horses, the people in the carriage scattered in all directions, and when the soldiers were about to capture the fleeing doctor, several rockets fell on the carriage with precision, and the carriage suddenly caught fire.
Mei Ziyan took advantage of the chaos to hide behind a big hugging tree, saw an opportunity to run to a black horse with a loud nose, took out the dagger in her arms and cut the rope of the horse was about to get on the horse, a cold wind hit from behind, she looked back and saw that a Xijon soldier was holding a scimitar to cut her, and the knife was dazzling.
She had no choice but to close her eyes.
At this moment, she remembered the scene when she saw Mu Cheng for the first time outside Yuanjue Temple, the green shirt was as upright as a green bamboo facing the wind, so it appeared beside her without a trace of carving, and asked her:
"What's so nice about a few clothed monks?"
On that day, I couldn't wait for the beauty to come into view, but I waited for someone who couldn't let go of me.
She opened her eyes in surprise, and there was a slowly falling headless corpse, and the person behind the corpse held a black scimitar, and the gems on the scimitar were like reddish eyes, red as if blood was flowing. Before she could come back to her senses, the mute slave took her on the horse with one hand, and when she looked back, there were men in black not far away who were fighting with the soldiers of Xijon, and there was chaos everywhere.
The black horse galloped away, and he hugged her tightly and held her in his arms, and the empty heart was filled at this time. When he and Kuan Ulan finally managed to escape Elba's pursuit and find Tasom's mother, he froze when he heard that she had been taken to Pan. Kuan and Ulan Bu wanted to chase them immediately, but he calmly stopped them.
He found Su Wen, and with Su Wen was the old man Sangri.
He did not hesitate to retrieve the broken army.
"You can let her go to Pancheng, and I will let people follow her, and I won't put her life in danger. Su Wen said, "Then we spread the news, and Mu Cheng will definitely come to Pancheng......
The dumb slave looked at her coldly, his eyes were as cold as ice, and she was immediately silenced, his lips moved, and he said silently:
"I won't let Mu Cheng know the slightest bit of news about her. I have my own way of bringing him in. ”
A trace of jealousy and resentment flashed in Su Wen's eyes, and it was fleeting. She then sent someone to track down the chariots and horses that were escorted to Pancheng, and set a fire while they were resting and sleeping, and the Flame Cult entangled the soldiers, and the dumb slave was able to take Mei Ziyan away smoothly.
He knew what price he had paid, but he didn't want to live the tormented days of fear of losing her before.
He was going to lock her firmly, firmly to himself.
He took her to a small village at the foot of the mountain, tied her horse to a stake behind the house, and knocked on the door of the farmer's house, saying that the brother and sister were lost and wanted to spend the night.
The mute slave fetched a basin of water, tore off one of his garments, and carefully wiped the blood from her face. Her expression was extremely tired, her eyes were a little hollow, and the dumb slave felt a pain in her heart, and she gestured and said:
"Have you suffered a lot in the past two days? It's all my fault, I won't leave you alone in the future......"
She smiled weakly with relief, and whispered, "Didn't you come to save me......?" By the way, Mom Tasom, are they okay?"
He nodded and gestured, "Don't worry, they've arrived at a safe place." ”
"Dumb slave, Xijon is not very peaceful, why don't we go back. After a long silence, she said suddenly.
The dumb slave was stunned, "Go back, where are you going back?"
She lowered her head, and her voice was almost inaudible: "I want to go back to Tiandu." ”
The cloth in his hand fell into the basin, he looked at her fixedly, his indifferent face was covered with a thick layer of frost and snow, and his black eyes seemed to have a sword and sword shadow passing by, and he killed the tenderness just now in a moment.
"I know I'm stupid," she said, "I want to go back when I'm gone, but I'm still worried, I want to know what happened after I'm gone." Shall we go back and take a look, shall we just want to know if he is okay now......" Her shoulder ached, and the dumb slave's hands pressed on her shoulders like iron tongs, and she frowned, and her body was already leaning back against the wall, and he asked her silently with his lips:
"If he's having a bad time, are you going to stay with him?"
"Dumb slave - what's wrong with you?" she almost burst into tears in pain, the dumb slave's face was blue at the moment, and there was a storm brewing in his eyes, he didn't expect that he risked his life for a day and a night without closing his eyes just to catch up with the convoy escorted to Pancheng, and when she was rescued, she actually said that she wanted to return to that person!
"I won't let you go back!" he stared at her, heartbroken, and longed to open her heart to see if it was made of stone!
Mei Ziyan looked at him, a bright light flashed in her mind, and her body trembled suddenly, "You, you already knew that something happened to Mu Cheng, right?!"
"He's none of your business anymore!" he hugged her tightly into his arms, rubbing his face against her sideburns and his hands rubbing his hands against her back.
Yan'er, don't go, I brought you and I'm not going to let you go back to him!
She lay passively in his arms and could barely breathe, and the mute slave suddenly stiffened, and he let go of her with a look of disbelief. Several acupuncture points on the back of his neck were pierced with gold needles, and for a while, half of his body was numb and couldn't move. Mei Ziyan sighed, moved him to the wall and sat down, she also sat beside him tiredly, leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, and whispered:
"Dumb slave, I'm not blind, I know, you like me. ”
His heart jumped, and he heard her say again: "I also thought about living like you all the time, and I was very happy when I was plain and bland." However, I don't know why, when I think of him, my heart will be disturbed for no reason, and I began to think that it was because the time I had left was too short to forget him, but half a year has passed, and the past is still vivid, you tell me, why is this happening?"
The mute slave's face turned a little whiter, and the sadness in his eyes flashed.
"When I was young, my father started a war that involved me because my mother made a mistake on the spur of the moment. He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him, and Mu Cheng lost his father and mother died early since he was a child. At the beginning, even I thought that if I was willing to marry Mu Cheng one day, it must be to pay off this debt for my father......"
Paying off debts? Is it just to repay debts? His eyes shook, he took a deep breath and tried to break through the acupuncture points where the golden needle was sealed.
"But I don't want to marry him," she smiled wryly, "because I want to get more from him than just forgiveness, but other luxuries, you know?"
His eyes gradually covered with a faint layer of ice and snow, and his heart felt like he had fallen into an abyss.
She was confessing to him about her so-called love for another man.
"He's a lot like me, sometimes. For example, I have been infatuated with someone like him, and sometimes looking at his lonely figure is like seeing myself, so I feel related...... Pity is not love, but I can't let go of my shadow...... So, I'm going to go back and see how he's doing, you know?"
"You don't want to go back with me, I don't force you. But dumb slave, my aunt didn't think of abandoning you the day she picked you up from the ghost gate. I don't want to see the loneliness in your eyes because I want you to call me 'Auntie', I don't want to see the loneliness in your eyes, but I don't know how to respond to your liking for me so that you won't be hurt, maybe in two years, when we grow up dumb slaves and meet other good girls, we forget about me......"
He looked at her, his eyes darkened. The heart was almost suffocated by the invisible hand. This woman, is she usually too spoiled by her and gives her freedom too much, she really thinks of herself as an ignorant and ignorant boy at the age of seventeen or eighteen?!
"You have to take good care of yourself after I leave, just let the uncle just now pull out this golden needle for you. I really miss my aunt, so I'll go to Dongting Qinglin Mountain to wait for me, do you know?" she reached out and brushed the loose black hair on his forehead, and her fingers inadvertently brushed his thick black eyebrows, and said reluctantly:
"I'm leaving, the sunset over the grassland in Xijon is beautiful, but unfortunately, it's not my concern. ”
He watched her walk out of the firewood room, listening to the neighing of horses, the sound of horses' hooves falling on his heart, but it was like being trampled into mud, he couldn't tell whether his current mood was anger or sadness, he only knew that the person he had always put on the tip of his heart left him without hesitation and ran to the person she cared about.
He closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra to let the true qi in his body run slowly for a week, and three quarters of an hour later, several golden needles on his neck were shot out by the true qi and shot into the mud wall opposite. He opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but be angry when he looked at the hidden chaimen.
He pushed the door open, and Su Wen came out of the shadows under the hazy moon, and said:
"She's gone. Do you want to chase?"
The mute slave shook his head, "She is penniless and will definitely not be able to go far, you let people follow her, and you must not let her leave Xirong." ”
Su Wen's slightly drooping eyes showed a hint of surprise, and the dumb slave's lips moved, "You let someone else do this." You take me to the Agni Sect Altar, I want to retreat and practice, and you protect the Dharma for me. Tomorrow afternoon, I should remove the golden cicada Gu in my body, as soon as the golden cicada Gu dies, Mu Cheng will crawl, and he will also crawl to Xirong!"
Su Wen was overjoyed, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, the dumb slave turned his back to her, no one could see the loneliness and loneliness in his eyes, and the decisive killing intent that gradually gathered between his eyebrows!
