452: Afraid of death
"Father, it seems that after so many years, you are still full of thoughts about your brother. When someone mentions that, you don't care about anything. Jin Yuming finally glanced at the letter, then threw it away, and said: "But the facts have been decided, my brother has been gone for so many years, hasn't our family lived very well over the years?" Why is my father so suspicious and asking for troubles in vain? β
After saying that, he changed an unusually serious look, looked at Jin Qingyun and said, "Father, you are now the only son of mine." β
Jin Qingyun pursed his pale lips tightly.
"If you wronged your son because of misbelieving the words of others, then our Jin family will really have no successor, and you will really be a loner by thenββ"
Jin Qingyun even had some difficulty breathing.
Jin Yuming retracted his gaze with a smile, looked at the few drops of blood stained on his hands, and said softly: "Father, son should send you home." β
What is the difference between knowing and not knowing?
Insist on finding the truth, but the truth often hurts.
It's better to not know anything from the beginning.
Jin Qingyun stood in place, his body trembling constantly, and gradually even his lips trembled.
He has been calculating all his life, but he didn't expect to be calculated by his loved ones in the end.
Thinking of the eldest son who has been deceased for many years, his voice and appearance seem to be as clear as yesterday, and his mind keeps coming to mind that he is dressed in a moon-white robe, with a high wind and a moon-like posture, and his eyebrows are like him eight or nine times out of ten, holding a new ink painting, or a unique insightful strategy. came to him and asked him to judge the appearance of a high-spirited young man-
Trembling, his eyes were filled with cloudy tears.
He has been strong and forbearant all his life, but at this moment he wants to cry on the ground.
Only now did he know what a miserable life he had become!
He is the head of the Jin family and holds supreme authority in his hands, but who would have imagined that he would be forced into such a situation by his own son tonight...... It's a ridiculous thing to say!
Jin Yuming looked at the old man who was forced to endure the pain, his heart was like a knife but he couldn't help himself, but there was a burst of joy in his heart.
He even wanted to laugh out loud!
He really wanted to tell him the so-called truth now, in every detail. Then take a good look at how his father will react.
It should be completely crushed, right?
It's heart-warming to think about.
But he could only say, "Father." You really should go back-"
Jin Qingyun still stood in place and did not move.
"Looks like my father still wants to know." Jin Yuming seemed to sigh with a helpless smile, and said, "Compromised": "It's better to be like this, my father will have a good life and recuperate for a while, and then think about it carefully." Do you want to know if you want to hear it? My son will tell you more about it. What do you think? β
At this point, there was nothing left to doubt about him.
It is also accurate to calculate that Jin Qingyun can't really do anything to him for the sake of the past that has already settled.
Because he's not just a father. He is also the head of the Jin family.
In this position, do you still want to enjoy the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and happiness of normal people?
Jin Qingyun raised his right hand again, clenched his loose teeth, and wanted to slap him again, but his arm was weak for a while, and after a while, it fell down abruptly.
The figure also fell into decline.
Jin Yuming smiled silently and ordered: "Send the master back to the house." β
Jin Qingyun was supported by the servant, and turned around stiffly and sluggishly.
β¦β¦
If you knew it was like this, it was better not to come.
The carriage moved slowly, turning back along the route it had come.
Jin Qingyun sat in the dim carriage, his body trembling like a withered leaf in the autumn wind.
The sound of the wheels was moving, but there seemed to be all kinds of mixed sounds in his ears, which came with the past situation, and for a moment he was powerless.
At this moment, he only hated his so-called high identity, and it was this identity that made him not even have the courage to verify the truth about his son's death......
"My husband holds a jade medal, don't say that you and other little soldiers, even the current emperor, are not qualified to stop each other! Get out of the way, don't cause trouble! β
Before the carriage approached the palace gate, suddenly there was a loud shout of anger, Jin Qingyun forcibly suppressed all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, and asked through a curtain: "What is the situation ahead?" β
"Back to the old man...... It seems that the soldiers defending the palace gate clashed with the Kong clansmen. β
Jin Qingyun's face changed.
The Kong clan, who has never set foot in the palace, how could they come over at such a juncture?
"Sir, do you want to park?" The old servant who was driving the car slowed down and asked in a low voice.
After Jin Qingyun hesitated for a moment, he frowned fiercely and said, "Stop-"
As long as he still has the honor and disgrace of the Jin family on his shoulders, he can't leave it alone.
No matter why the Kong clan came tonight, they can't let them enter the palace to learn the truth easily!
β¦β¦
In the secret passage, Jiang Ying let Yunli knock out Yin Zhitong, who was struggling and crying, and had just walked less than a hundred steps, but he was in danger again.
Approaching the end of Weiyang Palace, there were also bursts of footsteps.
"Girl......" Yun Li weakened her legs in fright, and grabbed one of Jiang Ying's arms with a panicked expression.
But she was very self-loathing, because she prides herself on being stable on weekdays, and at such a critical moment, she can't help the girl without saying anything, and she even clings to the girl in turn, and has no idea!
"Go back quickly." Jiang Ying immediately looked at her and said, "Didn't you just find a place where you can hide-they can't check it so carefully, you should quickly go and hide it, and hold your breath and don't make a movement when they pass by!" β
Yun Li's eyes widened in astonishment, and she couldn't stop shaking her head.
When he returned, he did find a hole on the left side of the secret passage, which was tortuous inside, and the entrance was extremely narrow and not easy to be discovered, but at most it could barely accommodate one person!
The girl's meaning is to give her this chance to live?!
Yunli was already in tears in an instant. Choked up and said, "The slave can't say anything!" The slave and maid are just a lonely person, there are no relatives alive, there is nothing to worry about, and they are dead! But the girl is different from the slave, the girl is at a good time, there are so many dear people waiting for the girl to go back alive! β
"But ......"
"The girl is very gracious, the slave and the maid keep it in mind, but there is no blessing to lose! I only wish to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and then serve the girl! β
Jiang Ying sighed again and again when she heard this.
At this critical juncture of life and death, what can still be so pushed must not be a coy gesture. This is indeed a good girl.
But Yunli didn't want to live. How could she be willing?
The choice of Fang Cai is completely different from the current situation.
If she is allowed to monopolize this chance to live, and sees Yunli lose her life, she is afraid that she will not be able to go in this life.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" She asked.
"Is the girl afraid?"
"Of course I'm afraid."
"Uh......" Yunli obviously didn't expect Jiang Ying to have such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance. What came out was such a somewhat intimidating sentence. However, he still smiled resolutely. Shaking his head, he said, "...... Slaves and maids are not afraid. β
So, let's let the girl live.
"In that case, leave this opportunity to the little prince." Jiang Ying said.
"Girl......" Yunli's eyes widened.
However, I saw that Jiang Ying had turned around quickly. Holding Yin Zhitong in his arms, he turned back to the hiding place he had just discovered.
Everyone has the right to choose their own fate, she and Yunli are their own choices, but Yin Zhitong is not, and they are not qualified to make such a decision as risking death for him!
Yun Li followed behind her, so shocked that she forgot to cry, and wanted to persuade Jiang Ying, but she didn't know what to say.
She could choose to give up her own life, but this child's ......
Since she can think like this, then the girl's thoughts must be the same, right?
Seeing that Jiang Ying carefully hid the unconscious Yin Zhitong in the cave, Yunli finally lost the idea of opening her mouth to persuade and stopped crying.
The footsteps behind him seemed to be getting closer.
Faintly you can still hear the terrifying shouts and the shaking of weapons.
"Girl, what shall we do now?"
Jiang Ying listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, pursed her lips, and said, "The queen doesn't know what happened to them, if according to what she just said, the target of these people is only her, it must be ......."
Yunli trembled slightly.
There are few people and few people, and the possibility of surviving is very small.
If her identity had been confirmed, there was a good chance that those people would have already been evacuated.
So...... Now they can only flee in the direction of the north gate of the Imperial Garden along this secret passage, and fight for the last hand.
"Does the girl still have the strength?" Yun Li forced herself to bite her trembling teeth and asked Jiang Ying.
"There must be the strength to run for your life." Jiang Ying's heart sank slightly, wiped the cold sweat sticky on the corner of her forehead, glanced at Yun Li, and said, "Just run later, don't look back-"
Yunli nodded heavily.
After glancing at each other in the darkness, the master and servant lifted their skirts and galloped forward.
"Quick! There's someone ahead! β
"Those who can appear in this secret passage must not be ordinary palace people, chase me quickly! Don't leave a single mouth alive! β
Yun Li's face turned pale for a while, and she only quickened her pace.
In the dark, she couldn't even tell if Jiang Ying was in front or behind.
All she could hear was the footsteps behind her getting heavier and faster, as if they were about to catch up with them in the next moment!
A cluster of light suddenly jumped in front of him, and with the increasing firelight, the road ahead became clear, but there was still no end in sight.
The voices behind him also became noisy.
or shouting and killing, or yelling at them to stand still and not run.
In the huge fear, Jiang Ying was not as afraid as Fang Cai, and even wanted to reply to them loudly, "Fools don't run, there is a kind of you don't chase'!"
But in order to save energy, this somewhat neurotic idea was not put into practice......
As the sound of getting closer and closer behind him, in the chaos, Jiang Ying's feet were suddenly tripped by the raised stones, and her body suddenly stumbled forward!
"Tom!"
Jiang Ying's whole body fell to the cold and uneven secret passage, because of the extremely fast running, inertia played a great role, and she felt that her internal organs seemed to be shocked out of the problem.
And because of the sudden stop under the wild running, the heartbeat was disordered, and it was very difficult to breathe.
She felt that she was really a model of a chain that fell at a critical moment.
Lost in her senses, she looked up and saw that the shadow of the cloud glass was gone.
This girl ran so fast that she really didn't look back......
"Girl...... Let's go! Yunli shouted sharply.
Belch?
Jiang Ying lay on the ground and turned her head away.
I saw that Yun Li had been firmly grasped by the other party's arms, but she was still struggling.
"Leave no one alive!"
The armored soldier at the head said loudly.
A cold light that drew the knife suddenly flashed in front of Jiang Ying's eyes, and it was raised high in the direction of Yunli.
It's really straightforward!
"Wait!" Jiang Ying's pupils shrank and shouted loudly.
"Don't be in a hurry, it'll be your turn soon!" A sneer tugged at the corner of the leader's mouth.
But I saw that the little girl who fell to the ground stood up slowly with her hands on the ground, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Is your purpose to kill people or to find someone!" β
The other party's eyes tightened when he heard this.
"You were ordered to search for traces of the queen's mother, but you killed everyone you wanted, and you didn't even ask, are you so sure that we don't know anything?"
Jiang Ying was gambling that they didn't know that the companion in front of them had already discovered the queen mother first.
Otherwise, there would be no such front and back formation.
"Do you know where she is?"
"Of course I do!" Jiang Ying saw that the other party took the bait, and immediately said: "It's just that this Tibetan place is extremely secret, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." But as long as you promise to spare both of us after you find the queen, I can take you thereβ"
"Girl......" Yunli looked at her in shock.
In an instant, she understood Jiang Ying's intentions.
Naturally, such a request is just a cover to confuse them.
But even if they agreed, how could they take them to find any queen mother?
Whether the queen is alive or dead now, they don't know!
Delay time and run away?
This is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Good! I promise you! After only a little thought, the other party agreed very happily.
Because for them, Jiang Ying and Yun Li are just two insignificant ants, they can be crushed to death at any time, there is no need to rush this time, and if they can really lead them to find the queen, then what awaits them back is an extremely rich reward.
If they find out that this is just their trick, they will slash their necks with a knife.
No matter how this deal is calculated, they will not suffer, so there is no reason not to give it a try.
There is no way that they will leave alive.
"Where is the Queen?"
"It's hidden in Weiyang Palace." I've been lying so much lately that I don't need to think about it at all.
After hearing this, the leader raised his hand to signal, and immediately two soldiers stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and set up Jiang Ying's arms.
Yes, after a few laps, I'm going to go around again.
Jiang Ying's purpose was to accumulate some strength, so she simply borrowed all their strength, and did not use any strength herself. Therefore, they came and went, and they were almost dragged forward by the two.
When the two soldiers noticed her almost scoundrel behavior, they looked at her with disdain, but there was nothing else they could do.
I only secretly thought that when I did it later, I would definitely give her two more knives. (To be continued.) )
