Chapter 514: The Dusty Past
The rain was still very heavy, and the pouring rain hit the ground, and the muddy water splashed Ye Xiaoyu all over his body.
"Why don't you think I ran away at the docks?"
Spat out a mouthful of blood, she sneered.
"Huh?! Can you still fly?! ”
Another person known as the "Savage Head" came over and gave Ye Xiaoyu a kick directly.
"Feitian won't, but if I die, none of you will survive......"
Ye Xiaoyu began to laugh.
"Big brother, stop listening to her nonsense, just give her a knife to solve the problem!"
The men behind him shouted.
"Hmph?!! We can't live either? Then I'm going to see how we can't survive? ”
The leader also walked to Ye Xiaoyu's side, and as he spoke, he gave Ye Xiaoyu a few kicks in a row.
"Toast without eating and drinking, since your mouth is so hard, I'll let you taste the taste of a hard mouth first!"
The whole body was tied up with five flowers, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't move, so he had to let him punch and kick, the whole person rolled in the muddy water, and the blood flowed from the cracked wound.
"Come, everyone come here, treat this slut well!"
The man in the lead turned and shouted.
A large crowd of villains gathered around.
The pouring rain and dense fists all smashed on Ye Xiaoyu's body, and her consciousness gradually began to drift a little.
This time it's really going to die.
Rumble.
There was a muffled thunder in the sky.
Ye Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, it was autumn now, how could there be thunder? But she was too tired. I don't have the energy to think about this either.
Rustle.
It's like a gale of wind sweeping through the leaves.
Before Ye Xiaoyu could react, the fists and feet that smashed on her suddenly disappeared all at once, and in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so people all fell beside her.
Turning her head with her swollen eyes, she didn't find anything unusual on those people's bodies, they were all fine, and there was no sign of injury at all.
No injuries, no accidents, how could these people fall unconscious to the ground for no reason, or even already dead? It stands to reason that she should be happy. But now there is some hopelessness. Because thinking of this is probably another hallucination of myself.
The huge raindrops hit the face, seeping into the broken wounds, and there were bursts of pain, like tearing the lungs. It's like there's an infinite number of ants gnawing on it.
Ye Xiaoyu tried to move. But she was tragically unable to move. She was still tied with rope, her hands were tied behind her back, and her left foot appeared to be broken. Like a half-broken branch, it hung on her body. Rain and tears mixed with the blood of the wound pooled on her face, then down her cheeks, winding all the way and finally dripping into the dirt beneath her.
The hand tied to the back was numb, and he didn't feel it at all. Ye Xiaoyu originally wanted to try to struggle to untie the rope tied to her body, but unfortunately, after a round of punches and kicks, she now has no other place to move except for her brain and eyes.
"Is there anybody? ——”
Ye Xiaoyu shouted desperately and hard.
Even if it was her own hallucination, she couldn't stay trapped in such a terrible hallucination.
The wind carried the rain and blew up the dead leaves in the forest.
The surroundings were very quiet, if it weren't for those evil men still lying motionless on the ground, Ye Xiaoyu thought that he had traveled to another space. Her whole body began to chill, and almost all the wounds on her body were oozing blood, and even if it wasn't a vision, she would have died from blood loss.
Suddenly, there was a very light footstep, and then a person stood beside Ye Xiaoyu, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't move, and could only catch a glimpse of a pair of black boots in the corner of his eyes.
The black boots moved, and someone squatted down, helped Ye Xiaoyu up from the ground, and reached out to help her untie the rope on her body.
Her eyes were misty and blurry, but when this face came into her eyes, she recognized it without hesitation, and then froze for a moment.
- Clear?
"...... you?"
Strange to say, the name that was imprinted in my heart could not be called at all at this time.
In fact, there is no need to worry about whether to call it out or not, it is estimated that this is another hallucination of hers, anyone can appear here, but this person is definitely not sunny.
"Don't move."
The people around him said in a low voice while quickly helping Ye Xiaoyu untie the rope.
The voice was low, but it was loud enough for her to hear.
This reminded Ye Xiaoyu of the scene when the two of them were caught by bandits when they first came to Rongzhou many years ago. That time they were thrown into the pit of the cave, and Sunny untied the ropes around her body as she did now.
The days of the past were like a flood that burst its banks, pouring out all its brains.
Ye Xiaoyu suddenly wanted to cry.
At that time, she had nothing, and stayed up late every day for a little livelihood, but she was not lonely, because there was always sunny sky silently helping her; And now, her business is getting bigger and bigger, spanning the three largest state capitals in the south of Daye Country, but she is suffering from unprecedented loneliness, just like in her previous life, loneliness is like her shadow, no matter where she goes, she can't sway.
In a trance, all the ropes on his body have been untied.
The cold rain hit her face, making Ye Xiaoyu feel a little sleepy inexplicably. She didn't want to fall asleep at all now, for fear that when she woke up, Sunny would disappear in an instant, like all the dreams she had had before. Even though it was a hallucination, she wanted it to last a little longer.
So she tried to keep her eyes open, trying to engrave the face in front of her in her mind again. Because maybe, after closing her eyes this time, she will never wake up again.
But in the end, she closed her eyes, in the raging wind and rain, in the deserted wilderness, in the arms of "Sunny"......

"You're two days later than scheduled."
In the Juyi Hall, Goatee looked at Zou Youheng and said.
"Something happened."
Zou Youheng moved his lips.
It's only been two days, and his eyes seem to have aged by more than ten years in an instant.
"I know, you're young, but you've been through a lot."
Goatee glanced at him, then said pointedly.
Juyitang's eyeliner was all over Rongzhou, how could he not know that such a big thing happened in Zou Mansion two days ago?
In the past, such a thing would never have happened, but now, Zou Yu has left it alone, and the so-called prefect's mansion is just an empty shell, and there is not even a decent subordinate in it.
"Heh......"
Zou Youheng laughed dryly, but there was still no light in his eyes.
"I've checked what you want, but-"
Goatee stared at Zou Youheng, the next thing was clear to both parties, Zou Youheng wanted to exchange his life for this information.
"Don't worry. Since I promised you, I won't go back, but I need to look at those things first. ”
Zou Youheng said calmly.
"Well, take it and see it yourself."
Goatee said and casually threw a worn-out booklet to Zou Youheng.
This booklet is the original hidden in the basement of the Yamen, although Juyitang has a lot of eyeliner and a network of connections all over Rongzhou City, but in order to get this thing, it still took him a lot of manpower and material resources.
Zou Youheng took the yellowed booklet with his backhand, leaned against a pillar in the lobby, and began to read-
In the fifth year of the reign of Daye, that is, more than 30 years ago, the Southern Barbarians were in civil strife, the Nanban King was killed, and the leader of the civil strife, Lu Mu Abei, led the traitors to invade the north. The southern states could not resist, and the news of the defeat frequently reached the Beijing Division. At that time, the reigning emperor Ling Yan led tens of thousands of soldiers to personally go to the south to quell the rebels.
However, the people of the Southern Barbarians were good at using poison and all kinds of witchcraft, and the army of the Great Cause Kingdom had just been stationed at the junction of the Southern Barbarians and the Great Cause Kingdom, when they were subjected to a strange surprise attack - white smoke suddenly appeared around the military camp, and many soldiers suddenly fell to the ground unconscious and fell into a coma. As a result of this raid, the army in the north was defeated before fighting.
This situation lasted for more than a month, and the army led by Ling Yan was frequently defeated, and due to the endless use of Gu poison and raids by the Nanban relying on strange terrain to carry out surprise attacks, the number of the army also plummeted from tens of thousands to more than 1,000, and the reinforcements who came were ambushed in Qingzhou. Ling Yan was almost at the end of his ammunition.
One day, Ling Yan led his troops into the mountains to check the terrain, and suddenly encountered the Southern Barbarian army, the two sides started a fierce battle, and the guards around him died in order to protect Ling Yan, but he did not escape, just when he was cornered, he was rescued by a green-shirted woman who fell from the sky.
Ling Yan was covered with injuries at the time, and the woman in the green shirt took him to the cave and began to treat him carefully. The two spent more than ten days alone in the process of Ling Yan being dazed, falling asleep and waking up. Talented men and women, coupled with life-saving grace, it is inevitable to fall in love over time.
The war with the Nanban continued, although the army of Daye Kingdom was defeated continuously, but it did not retreat half a point, and the border between Daye Kingdom and Nanban remained the same, and the two armies were deadlocked on the border.
More than a year has passed in a blink of an eye, although the imperial court has continuously sent troops to support during this period, it still suffers heavy losses, and the continuous fiascos have even made the treasury of the Great Cause Kingdom empty for a while.
In winter, the green-shirted woman gave birth to a son for Ling Yan, but before Ling Yan had time to be happy, Lu Mu Abbe conveniently used the terrain to launch a more fierce offensive, as if he wanted to defeat the army of the Great Cause Kingdom in one fell swoop. The stalemate is too long, and even if the winner wins, the huge amount of manpower and material resources consumed is unbearable.
Heavy snow in the depths of winter blocked the road, and reinforcements from the north were besieged halfway and could not move south. Standing on the sentry post, Ling Yan looked at the few soldiers left in the barracks, and suddenly felt full of despair. This night, he asked the woman in the green shirt to be sent away, what was about to happen was definitely a vicious battle, and it was a fierce battle that was very unfavorable to Daye Country, and he couldn't let his wife and children be implicated.
The woman in the green shirt left obediently, sent her newborn son to an acquaintance, and then she returned to her village. (To be continued......)
