216. 213: Shattered Picture
The next day, Lu Jiang prepared a boat and some food for Nangong Jue, and before Nangong Jue got on the boat, he repeatedly told him not to go south, which led to the sea, in case he accidentally entered the sea, it would be difficult to return the same way.
Nangong Jue stood at the bow of the boat, while Lu Mengyao looked at him sullenly on the shore, and when he saw Nangong despairing towards him, he looked away again, pretending to ignore him.
When Nangong Jue saw Lu Mengyao like that, he suddenly wanted to laugh, it was the kind of laughter from the heart, I don't know why, I felt very familiar when I saw this expression, as if someone had done this to him before.
At the moment when the boat started, Lu Mengyao couldn't help but shout: "Be careful on the road, come back early!" ”
Nangong Jue nodded, although Lu Mengyao couldn't see such subtle movements at all.
The boat was not big, but it was easy to steer, and he followed what Lu Jiang said, don't go south, just go in any other direction, so he went directly to the opposite side of the river.
The wide river surface is a slight cool breeze, Nangong Jue looked at the magnificent river, and remembered what Lu Jiang said, he picked him up next to the beach, he was already unconscious and seriously injured at that time, Nangong Jue was a little hard to believe at this time, if he floated from the river, how long would he need to float on such a wide river? And it's really surprising that it didn't die inside.
The boat slowly approached a shore at dusk, Nangong Jue looked at the dense forest by the river, and the bare rocks, and suddenly felt a pain in his eyes, as if something had pierced it, he covered his eyes with his hands, and the pain gradually disappeared after a long time, and he looked up and continued to look at the riverbank.
"Hahahaha............" A burst of laughter like a magic sound drilled into Nangong Jue's head, and the laughter was full of madness: "Nangong Jue, look at who else will save you...... Haha......"
"You've always been forced by me to run away!"
"Hiss~~~"
Some fragmentary pictures kept churning in Nangong Jue's mind, he seemed to see a man covered in blood, standing on the shore and laughing wildly at him, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but an inexplicable anger ignited in his chest, he was going to kill that man!
"Nangong Jue!" But as soon as the picture turned, the man turned into a woman again, his figure and appearance were still blurred, and his voice was very crisp, shouting at him: "Nangong Jue!! Be careful!! ”
Nangong Jue was shocked in his heart, and immediately turned around to look at the back of the boat, but there was nothing, only the calm river flowing quietly at dusk, and when he turned his head to look at the river again, it suddenly got dark!!
In the darkness, a palace appeared on the riverbank, and there was a great fire, and the screams and wailings resounded through the sky, making him almost unsteady on his feet, and he drew his sword and propped himself on the plank, and his heart was like a fire that was burning his heart, and the pain and hatred made his eyes bloodshot.
Outside the palace, there were several men and women standing, Nangong Jue tried hard to see their faces clearly, but he couldn't see them clearly, he only felt that they were very indifferent and indifferent, looking at the fire and being indifferent, Nangong Jue was trembling all over, he was so stimulated by those pictures that he couldn't control his emotions at all.
"Ahh Nangong screamed in pain, threw the sword away, and collapsed to the ground holding his head, his head felt like it was about to be torn apart, who were those people?
A wave hit, the hull of the boat shook violently, Nangong Jue's mind was shocked by the impact, and suddenly sobered up a lot, he reluctantly sat up from the ground, and looked outside the boat, the night just now was completely gone, it was still that quiet dusk, and there was only a bare beach and rocks on the river bank, and a little farther woods.
The boat got closer and closer to the riverbank, and Nangong Jue found that the closer he got there, the easier it was for his mind to get out of control, and his head hurt so much that it was unbearable, he used his last strength to turn the direction of the boat away from there and go in the other direction.
"Nangong Jue!" Nangong Jue suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, it was a woman's voice, full of worry and loss, he couldn't help but look back, only to see the vague woman he saw just now, standing on the riverbank, although he couldn't see her face clearly, Nangong Jue could clearly feel the waiting and disappointment in her eyes.
At that moment, Nangong Jue actually had an urge to go back, he seemed to want to hug the woman and comfort her loss, but the remaining reason told him that it was just an illusory picture and could not be passed.
About in the middle of the night, the boat arrived at another shore port, Nangong Jue was all collapsed, some blackened lips turned pale at this time, the whole person looked a little ghostly, he moored the boat at the shore entrance, fixed it with a rope, and then lay down in the canopy, wanting to rest for a while.
The shore mouth in the middle of the night was silent, only the sound of frogs chirping in the reeds, but Nangong Jue's mind couldn't be quiet, his head was full of the sentence "Nangong Jue" he heard when he left the river bank, who was that woman? Why did her call make Nangong Jue feel very uncomfortable.
"Do you think I want to report the fact that the commander has returned?" A voice was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that someone was coming towards the shore mouth, Nangong Jue quickly got up and hid the boat in the tall reeds next to it.
"You haven't said it yet?" Another voice rang out.
"Yes, I don't dare to say, when the commander came back, he told me not to tell anyone anything, I don't know if the general is not included, but now I see that there is chaos in the capital, the emperor has no news, and the general is attacked by strange people, should I tell the general the news, so that he can have a helper?"
"Then I don't know what the commander's words mean, have you ever told anyone about this?"
"How is that possible! I don't even dare to say it, but I dare to tell others? It's only you, don't hurt me! ”
"Don't worry, but what are we doing on the shore? And I have to guard the gates! ”
"I'm just panicking in my heart, and I want to find you to come out and help me come up with ideas!"
"I'm not a general, what's the idea-" Before the latter could finish his words, he suddenly felt his body tilt, as if someone was pulling his trouser leg under the water, and he fell into the water before he could shout.
The other man was frightened and shouted, "What's wrong with you? ”
The man in the water seemed speechless, and could only struggle in pain, slowly sinking into the water......
"Who!!" The man on the shore turned his head in horror to look around and shouted: "Come out for me, who's underwater, who's next to it!!" As soon as he finished speaking, he repeated the man's mistake and fell into the water, but his throat could not make a sound.
Nangong Jue fished up the two people, and made sure that they still had a breath, so he threw the two of them in the canopy, Nangong Jue looked at the clothes of the two people, it should be a guard or something, he checked the bodies of the two people, they were very healthy, which was very beneficial for testing the medicine.
Nangong Jue originally planned to return to Lu Jiang, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and it didn't take any effort at all, but thinking of Lu Mengyao, who complained a lot about him, Nangong Jue hesitated, he rummaged through the clothes of the two guards, found some silver taels, and then went into the capital in their mouths to see if there was anything to buy back.
After all, his life was saved by Lu Jiang, and Lu Mengyao treated him very well.
Nangong Jue fixed the boat in the reeds, and after making sure that others could not see it, he walked to the bow of the boat, jumped to the shore, turned his head to look at the sparkling water in the moonlight, and then walked towards the city gate.
Listening to Lu Jiang say that the world is in chaos today, the emperor is missing, and the capital must also be heavily defended, Nangong has not yet approached the city gate, and he found a row of guards standing at the city gate, which is similar to the clothes he caught just now.
Nangong Jue took a look at the city wall, it was thick and tall, and there were guards guarding the city wall, but for him, it was not a problem.
Several guards guarding the city wall felt a strange wind blowing, several people looked at each other, cautiously checked the surroundings, there was no abnormality, it was the gust of wind just now, something strange.
Nangong Jue had already appeared in the capital when the guards were stunned, he turned to look at the guards on the city wall who were still checking around for abnormalities, and evoked a somewhat arrogant smile, that group of people actually wanted to prevent people who wanted to enter the city by relying on this, presumably there were other people like him, who chose to take this shortcut.
"Tsk." Nangong Jue couldn't help but sigh lightly when he saw the desolate scene on the street, the prosperity of the capital, even in the middle of the night, it is impossible to fall to such a point, there are only guards everywhere patrolling the night, as for the people, I didn't see a few, and I saw some homeless people, who were sleeping on the side of the street, probably those abandoned yards locked up and they couldn't get in.
The current capital is able to get in and out, so those guards are relatively loose on patrol at night, chatting together in groups of three or five, or they don't know where to get some wine to drink, Nangong is absolutely walking on the street, which is equivalent to unimpeded.
It's impossible to buy things at night, so you can only find a place to rest for the night, and then see if there are any interesting things to take back to Lu Mengyao tomorrow morning, Nangong Jue didn't immediately find a place to rest, but wanted to go around, he felt that he was a little unexpectedly familiar with the route of the capital.
The moon and stars are scarce, and a bright moon hangs there in the sky, secretly peeking at everything in the world.
Tang Li and Baili Wuyang spent some hours digging a grave in the woods, Tang Li was covered in mud, tired and sweating, but Baili was much better, although he was also very tired, but he still looked clean, and the white hair was even more bewitching under the faint moonlight.
Leng Yi's body was quietly placed next to him, Tang Li didn't dare to look at it, and he felt worried once he saw it, but the grave had been dug up, and Leng Yi had to be put in it and then buried.
"I'll just come." Seeing that Tang Li's face was not good, Baili Wuyang understood in his heart that she couldn't bear it, this woman looked very aggressive, but in fact, her feelings were the most delicate, and he saw all these in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'll give him one last ride." Tang Li bent down to hold Leng Yi's head and said to Baili Wuyang: "Let's lift it together." ”
Baili Wuyang sighed inaudibly, and also bent down to lift Leng Yi's leg, suddenly, Tang Li felt her heart skip a beat, and her hand almost let go and threw Leng Yi to the ground.
Baili Wuyang discovered Tang Li's abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Li's heart began to beat violently after the sharp jump just now, as if there was a particularly strong premonition stirring wantonly, she endured the speed of her heartbeat, and said, "It's nothing, let's bury the cold wings quickly." ”
