Chapter 102: No Regrets
I feel like the recent updates are quite fat for me, can I ask for a monthly pass?
Happy Tanabata.
β¦β¦
------Off topic------
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
"Let's go. Go back to the tortoiseshell, go back to Heishui, go back to your ancestral land of the Long family, you can go anywhere, don't care about the rights and wrongs of this great wilderness, whether it is the Mongolian country, the emperor song, whether it is asking for help, or rejecting it, we don't have to bear these burdens. I'm tired, tired, and tired of seeing sacrifice and death, and I'm even more afraid of the sacrifice and death of the people around me. β
"Hmmm......"
"Gong Yin."
ββ¦β¦ I promise. β
ββ¦β¦ I won't ask anymore, but you promise me that for Nan Jin, in order to live up to her sacrifice, no matter what, you have to live well. β
"Hengbo, for Nan Jin's sake, don't ask again."
"Then why ......"
"Hmm."
"All right?"
"Alright."
"Are you really okay?"
A soft, faint conversation gradually sounded in the darkness.
The two sat on the ground in each other's arms, snuggling up in the moonlight.
In this life, after all, I owe her.
Gong Yin gently stroked her hair, there was still a faint bloody smell in the room, he thought that he was desperate to stop Nan Jin, he did not hesitate to hug her tightly and restrain her shoulder, but she was so stubborn, she would use that way to ask for a solution that had to be done......
Jing Hengbo silently leaned on his shoulder, feeling his slightly hot body temperature, at this moment his heart was desolate and grateful, so he could only silently hug his shoulder.
As the oil burned out, someone walked in softly and put their arms around her a moment before darkness was about to come.
Jing Hengbo sat quietly on the ground, watching the children of the Long family carry Nan Jin out, they would cremate her first, and the ashes would be buried in the Long family cemetery.
When he closed the pen, a tear fell on Nan Jin's cheek, and it flowed like pearl under the lamp.
The eyebrows are blue, the red lips are gorgeous, and the last stroke traces the flying corners of the eyes, but the eyes like pearls can no longer be depicted.
She should have grown freely in the countryside, dyed her nails with impatiens in spring, made fragrant powder with plum blossoms in winter, dressed up in her own hut, dreamed of all cardamom girls, and finally grew into a little girl like a delicate pearl, maybe poor, maybe simple, but she could enjoy the most free life in the best years, and marry the most suitable person at the most age.
The light of the oil lamp was miserable, and she carefully traced the outline of the woman under her fingers, covering up the miserable whiteness, and Fu Fan dyed it beautifully, and she didn't realize until today that Nan Jin had the same delicate facial features.
In the hut next door, Jing Hengbo took out all the cosmetics he had brought with him, and for the first time in his life, he put on makeup for the deceased.
The people of the Long family silently carried the body out, Jing Hengbo struggled to stand up, she wanted to send Nan Jin on the last ride, she wanted Nan Jin to go clean and beautiful, the woman who even had to be washed by the heavenly wind before she was willing to enter, she must not want to walk uncleanly.
Jing Hengbo didn't understand what this meant for the Long family, but she didn't want to care, Nan Jin kept her intact Gong Yin, nothing more important than this, even if it was a name.
No one has any objections to this decision, Nan Jin will be the only person with a foreign surname who is not married to the head of the family, but is buried in the ancestral grave of the Long family.
Gong Yin paused and said, "Okay." β
"Bury her in your dragon family's cemetery......" she muttered.
At the end of the end, she may have no regrets for Gong Yin's dedication, but she also regretted her existence and arrival, and would rather not have this life?
It's just, is there really no regrets? Such a life?
If you have no regrets, you will live for others in this life, suffer for others, and die for others, and you will have no regrets after all.
Gong Yin also changed her movements, patted her on the back, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, her last words are no regrets." β
A pair of hands held her shoulders, Gong Yin was gently pulling her into his arms, Jing Hengbo struggled to break free, at least at this moment, she couldn't be in front of Nan Jin, immediately threw herself into Gong Yin's arms, and immediately enjoyed the warmth of her lover that this woman exchanged for her life.
Jing Hengbo slowly leaned on the wooden couch and covered his face with his hands...... This is her debt, it is the debt of her and Gong Yin's life, how to compensate for it...... How to compensate!
That strange woman who only eats rice and water and washes food with the wind of heaven, she has not enjoyed the blessings of the world in her life, but she has suffered greatly in the world, how can fate give her such a tragic ending again?
She suddenly felt cold, shivering in a pool of blood. The bright stains of blood were like mirrors, and she saw her own twist and pale in them.
Nan Jin saved Gong Yin for her, and she pushed her into the abyss of death.
It was she who listened to Long Zhai's words and knew that there was no choice this time, Gong Yin's situation was not as good as before, and Nan Jin would only sacrifice herself in vain, which made her unacceptable, unable to see, so she had to avoid it from afar, but she didn't think about asking Nan Jin, what did she want to do, she didn't think about helping Nan Jin, and threw the love and life and death troubles in the world in front of her.
Or, keep the purest feelings in the woman's heart.
Nan Jin had an experience before that she would rather sacrifice than get together, and she should have thought that Nan Jin would still choose to die this time to keep her and Gong Yin's dignity.
Her evasion, in the name of letting go, is actually pushing the most difficult life and death decision to Nan Jin.
In the face of this woman's silent but resolute death, she suddenly realized her selfishness.
Jing Hengbo held on to the wooden couch and stood up blankly, her eyes wandering around the room, but she couldn't fall on Nan Jin's corpse.
Jing Hengbo looked at Nan Jin's face in a daze, her face was calm until death, the lines at the corners of her lips were very relaxed, but there was a sad and resolute look in her eyes, at the moment of death, she must have made a tragic and relieved decision.
Chunshui wailed and pounced, covering a piece of clothing over her body.
Nan Jin's body slowly retreated, like a bloody leaf covering the ground, and it was not until this time that Jing Hengbo saw that she had exploded from her heart to her abdomen, and it looked like her body had imploded, and her death was unbearable.
"Then why is this ......?"
"No," Long Zhai's painful voice came, "She can't pass on her skills this time, and the head of the family can't stand it." Only...... There is only one way to ...... together"
How could it be passed on like this? Did it succeed in this way?
But she didn't expect the consequences to be so tragic.
Nan Jin is a self-respecting woman, she never wants to climb into his bed when Gong Yin's heart belongs, it is an insult to him and to her. Jing Hengbo remembered that last time she would rather sacrifice herself to pass on her skills than have a spring breeze with Gong Yin.
She asked coldly, "Why is this happening?" She...... Does she want to pass on the gong to you like last time......"
Jing Hengbo's eyes slowly turned down, he didn't want to see it, he couldn't help but see it, half of the wooden couch was dripping with blood, Nan Jin's body had been leaning against the wooden couch, under the cover of the wooden planks over there, what kind of shocking would it be.
There seemed to be someone behind her who was crying, someone was pleading, someone was pulling Dr. Sun forward desperately, and she clearly heard Dr. Sun's sigh, "...... Her chest and lungs have exploded, and her lungs are gone, how can she save it! β
She watched as the divine light gradually dissipated in those pearl-like eyes.
It turned out that this pale and stiff woman also had a pair of shining eyes, but before, she didn't care, no one cared.
Jing Hengbo didn't know until today that Nan Jin's eyes were so big, and at this time, the divine light in those eyes was about to disperse, but the pupils were extremely black and deep, staring at her with such a black light, and in a trance, she even thought of the word Mingzhu.
On the other side of the bed, on Gong Yin's knee, Nan Jin and her were lying on the edge of the couch in one position, looking at her with their eyes wide open.
Jing Hengbo's tears swelled up, but she instantly forced back, she heard the tiredness and desolation in Gong Yin's voice, the ecstasy that wanted to pounce at the moment, was frozen by this Xiao Suo tone, and at the same time smelled the rich bloody breath at the end of her nose, she was blank for a while, gritted her teeth and slowly turned her head.
Suddenly, a slightly cool hand grabbed her chin and gently rubbed her. Gong Yin's faint voice sounded above his head, "Hengbo, I'm fine, don't be afraid." β
She was so shocked that she forgot that she could teleport, ran too fast and stumbled under the threshold and slammed this fall directly to the edge of the bed, her chin slammed heavily on the edge of the bed, she was so pained that she burst into tears, but she grabbed the white belt hanging down from the side of the bed, and was so frightened that she wanted to look up and didn't dare to look up.
Jing Hengbo had a "buzz" in his head, an "ah" scream, and rushed over to lift Long Zhai away, and forcibly overturned Long Zhai and rushed into the house.
The amount of health ......
He blocked the narrow door, and Jing Hengbo couldn't see what was in the dark room, only saw that near the door, there was a thick crimson liquid, which gathered silently, forming a dazzling bright red under the threshold.
In Gong Yin's room, the door was open, and Long Zhai was standing against the door frame at the door, and the old man with his back like a javelin was trembling slightly at this time, and he was as old as an ancient man.
Then she froze at the door.
What Jing Hengbo was about to say suddenly forgot about it, his figure flashed, and he had already rushed into the small courtyard.
After the muffled sound, there was silence for a moment, followed by a man's wail, only half a voice, and then it was desperately suppressed.
She froze for a moment, and said, "I seem to have forgotten something......" Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a muffled sound in the small courtyard.
Confused, she didn't know what to choose, and she wanted to turn around and run away again. If you don't see, hear, or hear, it's better to know nothing than to be hurt in person.
She was even more afraid that Gong Yin would not accept Nan Jin, so she chose some decisive ways.
She was afraid that Nan Jin would appear in front of her, and she was shy and timid.
She was afraid that Gong Yin and Nan Jin were already ...... at this time
She was scared.
All the way back to the Zhao family's courtyard in the west of the city, for safety, the Long family had already wrapped up the entire courtyard, and drove the shopkeeper Zhao family boss out, Jing Hengbo's footsteps were originally very fast, but far away, across half of the alley, when he saw the blackened half of the wooden door of the courtyard, he suddenly felt like a "hometown timidity", and his pace suddenly slowed down.
Looking at this style, Jing Hengbo first determined the so-called Montenegrin army who avenged the king, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink. In addition, the royal family that Dr. Sun is loyal to seems to have lost strong control over part of the army, so it is no wonder that the king of Mongolia actually did the opposite, thinking of asking her, a famous terminator of the royal family, to help.
This mountain is on the east side of Puyang City, and the slum is in the west of the city, and there is no problem in passing through the city in the middle of the night last night. When I walked again during the day, I found that the city was full of troops, five steps, one sentry, ten steps, one card, the atmosphere was tense, but the checks on people and others were not strict, and Dr. Sun took a group of them, and when they passed through the checkpoint, as long as they stuffed money, they passed all the way.
Dr. Sun had a request for the queen at this moment, seeing her virtue in her face, and knowing that she was in a bad mood, he immediately agreed, and the group rushed to the slums.
When his own people came, Jing Hengbo's heart was also decided, and he laughed and laughed with Dr. Sun, asking him to fulfill his promise first and perform the blood exchange technique for the children of the Long family.
At this time, Yelu Qi Pei Shu and others rushed over, Jing Hengbo asked the rest of the people, Yelu Qi replied that they were all nearby, and they were afraid that there would be many people last night, so only he and Pei Shu came over.
It's not good, it's not a good thing!
As for the messenger who ordered the king of Mengguo, he was the one who was really uneasy and kind, and wanted to take her life while the chaos was taking place. After killing someone, he pushed Meng Guo on the head, so that Pei Shuai's anger burned Meng Guo, killing two birds with one stone, which was very good.
Jing Hengbo smiled, many things can already be figured out at this time, such as that Hei Sanye can have such a big power and open such a forbidden field, there must be a royal nobleman covering, the purple cloak he accompanied before should be the representative of the royal nobles, it is very likely to be His Royal Highness; For example, the masked man who came out of the silver alley before faintly represents the interests of the royal family, but he is not with the purple cloak all the way, and he is still a eunuch, so he can only come from the Mongolian court and the king's side. The throne of the king of Mongolia was threatened, and he happened to hear that his evil star had arrived in Mongolia, which was a snake ...... Oh don't lead the phoenix out of the hole, on the one hand, I picked medicine for myself, and on the other hand, I found someone.
Dr. Sun showed a surprised expression, "You are also a roundworm".
Jing Hengbo was stunned for a while, and said lightly: "Your king is seriously ill, but his son is not intimate, and he may even be empty, he heard that I was coming, asked for my help, and wanted to solve his son, right?" β
"In any case," said Doctor Sun, "the king of my family has no ill will towards His Majesty, but has something important to ask for His Majesty's help." β
Jing Hengbo snorted coldly, "He's a roundworm in my stomach." β
"The mysterious man said in the letter that as long as I propose that I will exchange blood, you will definitely agree."
"How can you be sure I'm going to take the bait?"
"Collecting medicine is a real thing." Doctor Sun said sincerely, "The king is dying, and the empty flower is indeed an extremely important elixir in the prescription, and he has been suffering from nothing. We also vaguely knew that Her Majesty had a special ability, but we couldn't be sure, until we received a message from the mysterious man that you were in the slums west of the city, and we used this method. β
"Is it fake to help collect medicine, is it true that your king wants to meet me?"
Dr. Sun bowed again.
"Looking for the Queen?"
Dr. Sun bowed.
Jing Hengbo looked at him silently for a long time, hugged his chest and smiled: "Finally sure I'm the queen?" β
"Her Majesty." Doctor Sun stepped forward and met her smiling eyes, "Medical officer under the throne of the Mongolian Kingdom, meet Your Majesty." I would like to convey my respect and greetings to Your Majesty on behalf of our Great King. The king thanked His Majesty for his help, and sincerely invited His Majesty to go to Mengcheng for his visit. β
Jing Hengbo stopped, and the corners of his lips hookedβthings got interesting.
Doctor Sun stopped her steps, suddenly bowed deeply, and bowed in unison, along with all the big men behind him.
"Then each of them will fulfill his promise." She said excitedly.
Another clue was broken, and Jing Hengbo sighed again without surprise.
Doctor Sun's expression changed, and he only understood a little at this time, and said in surprise: "Someone did provide me with information, saying that there is a person who can help me pick empty flowers, and he has arrived nearby, so let me find a way to find someone." And described your appearance and abilities, but I didn't see this man, he was a flying arrow. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper, and sure enough, it was the same as he said, the handwriting on the paper was crooked, and it was still written with his left hand.
"But just because you don't have bad intentions doesn't mean that others don't." Jing Hengbo said, "Let me ask you, who gave you the information I can help you?" β
Jing Hengbo looked at the position and nodded, those people were scattered among the cliffs, if she stumbled, they could indeed catch her together, but their position could not kill her.
"Girl, look," Doctor Sun pointed to these people, "if the old man really has the intention of harming you, these people are enough to cause you trouble. But if you look at their position, you can see that the old man arranged for them to be there to try his best to keep you safe. β
These people either climbed the rocks or tied ropes, and kept coming out from between the cliffs here, silently standing behind Dr. Sun.
Doctor Sun sighed, suddenly took out a whistle and blew it, a sharp whistle came out, and after a while, many figures appeared among the cliffs.
Anyone who is always so unlucky will not be in a good mood.
"There is only one person in the world who meets your conditions, and you are here for me." Jing Hengbo touched his neck, looking annoyed.
Dr. Sun was speechless.
The children of the Long family wanted to scold, Jing Hengbo waved his hand and said, "The old gentleman really doesn't need to hurt me, because if it is a trap you set, why should you trap yourself." But the old gentleman can't get rid of it, can you deny that you were looking for me from the beginning? β
Doctor Sun had a bitter face, and muttered for a long time: "...... The old man really has no intention of harming the girl, and the old man still has to ask for the girl's ......"
"!" A disciple of the Long family shouted angrily, "It's you old thing, you deceived people to collect medicine, except for you, who else knows that everything on this cliff can be arranged in advance?" β
Doctor Sun was trapped in the center, hugged the jade box tightly, and said with a look of wrongedness: "It's not the old man!" It's not an old man! Seeing Jing Hengbo coming down the mountain, he hurriedly shouted: "Girl, it's not the old man who harms you!" The old man didn't know that there were assassins in ambush above! β
Jing Hengbo sighed, beckoned to the opposite side, and motioned to go down the mountain. After going down the mountain, I saw that the children of the Long family had already surrounded Dr. Sun, and their eyes were dangerous, like a group of wolves approaching their prey.
Like all the secret hands he has met before, the other party has done it neatly, leaving no clues and no way to speculate.
The clothes that the man was wearing were the same as Jing Hengbo guessed, the iron was black and hard, and it felt exactly the same as a rock, and even his face was an iron mask, only a small hole to breathe and check, Jing Hengbo lifted the mask, and inside it was indeed a featureless and unfamiliar face, rummaging all over the body, without any mark.
The man was indeed tied under the cliff by a rope made of strong net rattan, which protruded that the two sides of the cliff were nailed in advance, and the rattan rope passed through the ring and fixed a person.
The man had a knife wound on his body, but it was only in the thigh, it could not cause death, and the cause of death was poisoning, Jing Hengbo knew that it was no wonder that the knife was poked like this and did not move, and it turned out that he committed suicide after failing the mission.
At this time, she talked to the children of the Long family about the assassin hiding under the cliff, and the children of the Long family were shocked, and immediately someone slowly touched the cliff, and sure enough, he touched a person, cut the rattan rope and brought it up, but the person was already dead.
This is a bit different from him, but Jing Hengbo knows what's going on, the kiss last night was really embarrassing, and Pei Shu must have complicated feelings in his heart.
She was happy in her heart and waved her hand to the other side, Yeluqi waved in response, but Pei Shu turned his back.
People who have been in battles for a long time choose extremely accurately, far surpassing the inexperienced children of the Long family. Previously, as long as she was on this cliff, whether it was on the cliff or under the cliff, there was nothing she could do to save her.
When she was hoisted up and dangled in the air, only those who broke through the clouds and rushed over at the same height as the cliff could accurately capture her position.
The cliff was too straight and too dark to settle down, and because they didn't know where the trap was, Yeluqi and Pei Shu did not choose to appear, but quietly ambushed on the opposite cliff, one was responsible for controlling the rope, and the other was tied to the waist, ready to swing over to save people at any time.
Yes, it's them.
Then she raised her head again, and on the opposite side, on the cliff three zhang away, Yeluqi was untying the rope, Pei Shu turned over the cliff and untied the rope on his waist.
The day dawned suddenly, and the darkness was instantly retreated, and under the bright daylight, the darkness and death for a moment were like a dream, Jing Hengbo reached out to the bottom of the cliff with his hand and touched the blood on his hand, only to be sure that what happened just now was true.
It's dawn.
Jing Hengbo gasped for a long time, Huo Ran felt that her eyes were bright, she opened her eyes, and was facing a blazing light, she sat up, turned her head, and saw the sea of clouds retreating, the darkness converged, and the white of the fish belly in the sky was gradually smeared.
The disciples of the Long family, whose eyes were on the top of their heads, glanced at each other, and they all sighed in unison.
The children of the Long family crawled over and checked her neck, and saw that the strangulation marks were deep purple, and they could be sure that as long as it was worse, Jing Hengbo would die.
After stabbing her a few times, it was estimated that she could not cause more damage, so Jing Hengbo asked the children of the Long family to pull her back to the cliff and lay on the ground panting.
The children of the Long family were stunned and watched Jing Hengbo hang upside down under the cliff with half of his body, slashing at the places they couldn't see, thinking that she had escaped death, and he was crazy with joy.
This is the sound of a knife entering the flesh, Jing Hengbo was overjoyed, and stabbed in that direction, the knife entered the flesh, and the person at the bottom was really patient, and he never said a word.
The tip of the knife first hit the cliff with a loud sound, and after a few knives, there was a "poof".
Since she is tied up, and she is in that position, she can't get out of trouble by herself, so wait for her revenge!
This thought flashed, and then she drew her knife without hesitation, taking advantage of the fact that she was under the cliff with half of her body at the moment, and poked her backhand at the cliff in her memory!
No wonder I always felt that there were people before, thinking of being busy under the cliff just now, and a person was looking at each other above her head, and her hairs exploded.
When she was unsteady on her feet and slipped forward, the net vine she grabbed to support her body was the rope that tied the person, and it was ridiculous that when she grabbed the rope, it was equivalent to tying the only hand she could use. After that, this assassin with extremely good hidden skills only needs to choose a moment when it is inconvenient for his hands and feet to strike.
Some people tied themselves under the protruding cliff in advance, wore wet and cold clothes, and tied themselves with rattan net ropes of the same color as the cliff stones.
The net vine is tied to a person!
That net vine!
She was lying on her back on the cliff face, and the cold, slippery rocks beneath her were so slippery that her body was still slowly sliding. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she knew how the killer had done it to her.
A group of Long family disciples on the cliff immediately rushed over, and fell to the ground one by one, the first one, before she was about to fall off the cliff again, pounced on her knee.
It was flying upward, so the rope around her neck suddenly loosened, and this flight went directly over the cliff, and there was a "boom" above her head, and as soon as the taut rope was loosened, she fell down.
The sound of breaking the air was sharp, alarming the will to die, the wind around her suddenly seemed to gather into a bundle, and it seemed that the universe had cracked into a black hole, she felt a strong force crashing from the opposite side, and the next moment there was a "bang", it seemed that the human body slammed into her, and she leaned towards the cliff, and then the soles of her feet were hit hard by someone's knee, and she was knocked into the air.
"Huh."
In the chaotic consciousness, there is not much unwillingness, Gong Yin has slept with others, and she seems to have a lot less energy to live, the only regret is that she doesn't know how the murderer did it until she dies, it's really embarrassing......
She knew that she was only going to confess for a moment and a half, and at this moment the people below were screaming wildly, and the people above were fishing, but she was in the air without touching the sky or the ground, and people couldn't even see her clearly, and no one could save her.
