Chapter 218: The night is deep
Zhi Lan's aggressive posture intensified, her eyes kept narrow, and she still refused to trust the words of the person in front of her, because except for Sui Jing, the desperate Zhi Lan could no longer find any hope of finding the Son of Heaven. If it was really the person in front of her, Zhilan would probably resent Sui Jing, but at least it was better than having no clue.
In the face of her repeated questioning and unwavering suspicion, Sui Jing's anger also exploded.
"Zhilan, you are unreasonable! You like the new and hate the old, I just think that you are a woman with watery flowers, I didn't think that you would blame me for Yin Jun's disappearance today, is it that Yin Jun will be hurt sporadically in the future, and you will also question me? If you doubt me, you will show evidence, and if I really killed Yin Jun, what will I do when I come to see you at this time? If you think that the purpose of my meeting with you is to exchange your promise for Yin Jun's life, then I can find out in the morning. But I'm sorry to tell you, Zhilan, now you don't have that much temptation in my eyes, if the opportunity to kill Yin Jun really falls into my hands, I would rather you hate me for the rest of your life, and if you don't see me, I will kill him without hesitation. ”
Sui Jing's logic is clear, and for a while, the person in front of him can't find half of the flaws, and his cold words to Zhilan undoubtedly show that the relationship between the two will only deteriorate further. Zhilan cares about Yi's trip, and Sui Jing cares about ambition, and the two should not bother each other and forget about each other. However, somehow, when Zhi Lan heard the last firm words of the person in front of her, she felt a tingling feeling in her heart. Fortunately, this tingling sensation was fleeting, so Zhilan was able to quickly come out of her lonely mood.
The next moment, she reverted to her original solemn posture, but her suspicion was much less than at the beginning.
"Really?"
"It's true, why should I lie to you?"
The man was particularly determined, and his frowning brow was even mixed with a resentment that he had been wronged.
In the end, Zhilan couldn't help but feel that the situation was getting more and more difficult.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? If it weren't for you, what was your purpose here? ”
"Naturally, I'm looking for you." The man replied without thinking, and then a chuckle appeared on his grim countenance. "However, now it seems that there is no need, you already know what Yin Jun wants, and I don't need to be involved between the two of you."
Sui Jing's smile was undoubtedly self-deprecating, he regretted that he had made this choice, and he laughed at the fact that he still had unrealistic illusions about Zhilan until now.
"No one is going to wait for me, and I know I shouldn't have been here."
The man turned sideways, his lonely eyes hidden in the darkness, and Zhilan could only see his upright figure, but he couldn't understand Sui Jing's true grief.
"Sui Jing...... I...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you...... I'm emotional......"
"I don't care, anyway, you've shown your heart with your words and deeds...... But I still want to ask you one last time, Zhilan, are you willing to return to Xun Kingdom with me? I can give you glory, give you status, and I can give you what Yin Jun can give you. ”
Although he was full of shame and kept troubled in his heart, even if there was a little bit of longing in the eyes of the person in front of him who moved back at this time, Zhi Lan's heart still couldn't leave Yi Zhixing behind. At least in the three years that Zhilan has been gone, the people who often appear by her side are easy to do, not ambitious people in front of her.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Zhilan finally said the truth.
"I'm sorry, Sui Jing, I won't go back to Xun again, I'm already familiar with everything here, I don't want to start over, I just want to stick to one place. The most important thing is that during your absence, I did have feelings for Yi Zhixing, and there is no way I can leave him, especially at such a juncture, I can't satisfy you. ”
Although the woman's answer was deliberated for a moment, it seemed so determined and unquestionable when she spoke, that Sui Jing's pupils flickered violently in her eye sockets uncontrollably, but after a moment, the flickering momentum gradually slowed down, and the man in front of her actually showed a sly smile. This shallow smile was not expected by Zhi Lan, she didn't understand the deep meaning in it.
"That being the case, even if I come for nothing, I hope that in the future, you can fulfill your heart's wish, love each other with Yin Jun, and grow old together."
Zhi Lan looked at him, feeling more and more strange to Sui Jing, his words and deeds, everything was so secret, Zhi Lan even wondered if the person in front of her was the gentle son in her memory, or if Sui Jing actually died early in the morning, and the surviving person was just living in his place.
"I'm going to look for someone first."
In the end, the woman only said this, and after these words, she turned away resolutely, leaving no tenderness or farewell to this long-lost old man.
Looking at her figure, Sui Jing's gaze gradually became gloomy, which not only contained resentment and hatred, but also unexpected real emotions from the side.
Soon after this, Zhi Lan met Yan Qi and the others again in the dark mountains.
"Miss Zhilan, do you have a clue?"
"Although there is no clue, I found Sui Jing."
"What? Where is he now? Where is Your Majesty? ”
Yan Qi was very excited, and the hands that grabbed Zhi Lan's arms used his vicious strength, and Zhi Lan only felt that her arms were in pain.
"Yan Qi, don't get excited, although I found him, all this has nothing to do with Sui Jing."
"How do you know that none of this has anything to do with him? If you have found him, why don't you keep him? Why notify me immediately! By doing so, you'll only buy the enemy more time to harm Your Majesty's safety! What the hell did you two talk about? Where is he now? ”
Needless to say, Yan Qi's anxiety and fear must be boundless, and this boundless anxiety is naturally dissatisfied with Zhi Lan's private affairs and his laissez-faire behavior towards suspicious people.
"I ...... I trust him, at least he will not deceive me in this regard, and there is no reason to deceive me, if he had murdered Yi Zhixing, he would have fled a long time ago, so why should he still meet me? ”
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! You have no proof, and you believe this man by his words? Then where have you put your Majesty's good intentions for you these days? If you don't care about Your Majesty, please stay away from Your Majesty in the future, Miss Zhilan! Nothing good will happen where you are! I really doubt you're in the same league as that Suijing! ”
"Yan Qi, I am no less worried about Yi Zhixing's safety than you, and now that I have let this person go, what is the point of you and I arguing here? It's better to go and find someone quickly, I believe that all this must have nothing to do with Sui Jing. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's good! Do you have a third eye? Did you see what was happening? If not, then shut your mouth and do not judge the truth of the matter! Your Majesty really misjudged you in the first place! You unconscionable woman! ”
Not only was his words passionate, Yan Qi was even about to be injured with a sharp blade, but fortunately, the surrounding secret guards stopped him in time, otherwise Zhi Lan's life would not be guaranteed at this time.
"That's it! This matter has nothing to do with you anymore! You go back to your Qingwu Building, this is a matter in the palace, and it has nothing to do with you, an ordinary person, from now on! But I warn you, if you leak the slightest rumor, I'll make you the first to land!" ”
After saying this, Yan Qi immediately took the people beside him and continued to embark on the road to find the person, leaving Zhilan alone with a cold wind blowing in the dark valley.
Zhi Lan was a little lonely, and suddenly felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, but the disappearance of the Son of Heaven always tied her heart, even if she felt helpless and indignant at Yan Qi's actions, but Zhi Lan did not intend to give up the idea of finding Yi Zhixing.
Soon after, Zhi Lan followed closely, and at this moment, she suddenly heard a shouting sound from the entrance of the cave not far away.
"Yan Guard! The Son of Heaven is here! ”
No one had the hope that they could find the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven by fighting this, but at such a juncture, Yi Zhixing's figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It's just that the Son of Heaven is no longer a high emperor, but an extremely weak and disabled person.
Especially his legs, which were covered with blood that had long since dried up, and the Son of Heaven could not even move a step by his own subjective consciousness.
After hearing the sound, Yan Qi ran away, and Zhilan also ran to the cave. Yi Zhixing's miserable face was expected by the two of them, but once they really looked at this face, they inevitably felt a touch of shock and regret in their hearts.
"Your Majesty! You okay? ”
Yan Qi squatted down to look at Yi Zhixing's injury, but Yi Zhixing's subtle actions like opening his eyes were enough to consume half of his life's energy. At this time, Dan saw that his eyes were half-open, and his gaze seemed to be searching for a specific figure in the crowd.
Just as Zhilan pushed through the crowd and got in front of everyone.
"Yi Zhixing, are you okay? Who is it that hurts you......"
The woman tried to hold the hand of the person in front of her, but her actions were blocked in mid-air by Yan Qi's outstretched hand.
"Didn't I tell you to leave! Can't you understand people? Do I have to use force? Get lost! You don't deserve to be here! ”
Yan Qi's excitement has continued to this day, which is undoubtedly beyond imagination. The next moment, Zhi Lan suddenly broke free from his restraints and shouted angrily, "What time is it now? What else are you messing with? If I stay here, you'll be able to kill me!" ”
The momentum of the two was tense, but Yan Qi really pulled out the blade and pointed it at Zhi Lan.
"Yan Qi...... Yan Qi! ”
The weakened Yi Zhixing almost spent the only remaining energy to speak, but this sound seemed to be coming out with blood, and when this sound landed, the Son of Heaven coughed violently, and the blood he coughed out was terrifying.
"Your Majesty, are you okay, it's all your subordinates who are not good, and your subordinates shouldn't be ...... at that time"
"Swallow...... Yan Qi, you are not allowed to hurt her......"
The trembling voice rose and fell, and Zhi Lan pushed it away despite Yan Qi's obstruction, and immediately held the hand of the person in front of him tightly.
"Yi Zhixing, don't worry, no one can hurt me, I won't be hurt by anyone! Now don't talk in vain, we'll take you back to the palace, you must hold on......"
With that, Zhilan suddenly gave orders to the guards beside her.
"What are you still doing? Help me lift His Majesty up and bring him back to the palace immediately! ”
"Yes!"
At this time, Zhilan is like a queen, and the secret guards of the Son of Heaven are also inexplicably obedient to her, but that Yan Qi is unwilling to do what Zhilan does, and her eyes are always resentful.
It's a pity that Yi Zhixing's way back to the palace doesn't seem to be so simple, and the already dark entrance to the cave seems to be covered by something dark again.
