Chapter 220: The Prince Returns to the Dynasty
The battle between the two parties is becoming more and more intense, and the consciousness of Yi Zhixing is gradually becoming blurred, this time the Yin people are outnumbered, and the confrontation situation has long been biased to one side, and I believe that the winner will be able to be divided soon.
"Easy trip, you hold on to ......"
Zhi Lan held the hand of the Son of Heaven tightly, and the Son of Heaven held her back, but now Yi Zhixing could only respond to Zhi Lan's words with the temperature of his palm, and his weak body could no longer utter a word.
Looking at this, Zhi Lan felt anxious, seeing that the Yin people were gradually slaughtered by this group of Xun soldiers, and the belief in her heart that she was bound to protect Yi Zhixing became more and more firm.
At this time, both Yan Qi and the remnants of the defeated soldiers next to Yin Guo were all wounded, and the injuries all over their bodies were particularly severe. Zhi Lan once wanted to participate in the battle, but Yi Zhixing lost consciousness, and she could only guard him by his side to prevent the blade from flying.
In the end, the Yin people were defeated, and most of the Xun army, which had been prepared for a long time, remained.
On the other side, Yan Qi supported his dying body with the blade in his hand, and Sui Jing, who galloped on the field almost all day long, looked so relaxed and indifferent. He gradually walked towards Yin Jun's loyal henchman, his lips dyed with a smile, and when he saw this, Zhi Lan stopped him.
"Enough! What are you going to do, Suijing! ”
When the words fell, the cunning in Sui Jing's eyes suddenly hit Zhi Lan, at this time Zhi Lan tightly protected Yi Zhixing in his arms, this scene made Sui Jing have mixed feelings, but his face always revealed the usual ferocity.
"Zhilan, don't you know what I'm going to do? I am a general, but also a Xun person, don't stand on the territory of the Yin people and accuse me, you remember, you have the blood of the Xun people in your bones. Kill this group of Yin people today, especially the Yin Jun in your arms, the Yin Kingdom will be in chaos, because the Yin Dynasty and the opposition can no longer find any suitable person who can inherit the unification. If you want to blame Yin Jun, you can only blame Yin Jun, not only killed his siblings, but even had no heirs for a few years, won't it be true as the rumors say, Yin Jun is sick, right? Sui Jing let out a sneer, then his eyes lit up, and then said: "Zhilan, I will give you another chance, if you return to the territory of Xun State, instead of continuing to be their lackey of Yin Kingdom and protect the safety of Yin Jun, I can give you everything you want, whether it is wealth or status, I can give you ......"
Before the man could speak, Zhi Landen interrupted.
"I don't need to! I am a Xun person, even if I live in the territory of the Yin Kingdom, but I am also a Xun person through and through! But I won't give you my life! I will swear to protect him to the death, and if you want to kill him, you will not be able to step over my corpse!" ”
As the words fell, Sui Jing's eyes began to become fierce, and he was completely dissatisfied with Zhilan's actions, and even stared at her with contempt. Yan Qi, who heard Zhi Lanyan's words, immediately snorted angrily, and his gritted teeth were mixed with extremely complex emotions.
"Okay, since you want to be Yin Jun's lackey, then you can do it. Come on, do it, whether it's a man or a woman, don't worry about killing! ”
Sui Jing was obviously angry, so he didn't care about Zhi Lan's life, Zhi Lan instantly picked up the blade in his hand and prepared to resist, but Yan Qi, who was almost fainting, took the lead in front of these two people and blocked all the danger for them.
"Yan Qi, I can deal with it myself! Now that you're seriously injured, it's not fit to fight! ”
"Shut up! It's not for you, Miss Zhilan, it's just to protect Your Majesty's safety! ”
At this point, the remnants of the defeated army of the Yin State and half of the personnel of the Xun State fought again, and the scene of flesh and blood was unbearable to look at, and Zhilan and Yi Zhixing were once again protected by the group.
Sui Jing tried to get close to the two of them several times, but these attempts were blocked by Yan Qi's struggle, and after watching the entourage fall one by one, Yan Qi suddenly said something in Zhi Lan's ear.
"I'll escort you, you guys go quickly, you must escort Your Majesty back to the palace safely, please!"
"So what are you going to do?"
"It's not your business! Our mission is to protect the Son of Heaven, and so is yours! If you refuse to let go of Yibo now, none of us can escape today! I also hope that Miss Zhilan knows how to weigh the pros and cons and know the priorities of things. ”
Yan Qi's voice implied a plea, he knew that there was no longer any delay now, whether it was the battle situation or the physical condition of the Son of Heaven.
In the end, Zhilan agreed. She gradually got up, and used brute force to carry Yi Zhixing on her body, and she didn't know why she could have so much strength now, maybe people could burst out of their body's potential at a critical moment.
Under the protection and delay of Yan Qi and others, Zhi Lan approached the entrance of the cave step by step with the body of the Son of Heaven, she had never been so nervous in her life, as if Yi Zhixing's life was in her hands, whether the two could escape smoothly was only in her thoughts, and only Zhi Lan's own ability depended on the critical moment.
The next moment, Zhi Lan, who broke away from the encirclement, fled out of the cave with Yi Zhixing, and the Xun army, who noticed the intention of the Yin people, immediately drew their swords and attacked, and Yan Qi, who was quick in his eyes, blocked the entrance of the cave with his own flesh and blood, trying to buy time for Zhi Lan and the others to escape.
"Miss Zhilan! Your Majesty will rely on you from now on! I hope you don't let me down! ”
Yan Qi's voice echoed in the valley, and Zhi Lan, who struggled to escape, didn't even have time to look back, she knew that the work that Yan Qi had earned for herself was all that he had earned with his life, and she couldn't delay a single penny, so she could only run forward with the heavy objects on her body.
I don't know whether it is to mourn for Yan Qi's fate, or to be sad because of nervousness and haste talent, now Zhi Lan is sobbing while running, the cool breeze of the night calls on her face, every moment seems to be holding the pain of the bones, Zhi Lan is really worried that there will be a first-class arrow flying behind her, but what she is worried about is actually true in the next moment.
But seeing the countless stray arrows suddenly attacking, Zhi Lan didn't dare to look back and take a closer look, so she could only fly through the valley with the body of the Son of Heaven, but she knew that Yan Qi was probably more than lucky......
Finally, because of the hurry, and because the path of the night was so dark that people couldn't find the way under their feet, Zhilan and Yi Zhixing lost their footing and rolled down the hillside together.
At this point, Zhi Lan, who was still in good health, was completely injured, and when she reached the foot of the mountain, the feeling of fainting continued to hit her mind, and Zhi Lan frequently wanted to gag, and the injuries all over her body were even more miserable. In the process of rolling down, Zhilan always protected Yi Zhixing, so the injuries that fell from the body of the Son of Heaven seemed to be much lighter than Zhilan.
Zhi Lan, whose eyes were full of tears, didn't dare to make a sound, she was afraid that her movements would be known by the group of Xun people, and everything she had done before would be in vain. She didn't want to live up to Yan Qi, who risked her life, and she didn't want Yi Zhixing's safety to be exposed to the enemy's eyes again.
That's right, after tonight's danger, Zhi Lan's subconscious has regarded his compatriots and the son he loved deeply as enemies, everything is because of them, if they didn't have them, Yan Qi would not have died, if they hadn't come to Yin Land with a dangerous heart, he and Yi Zhixing would not have fallen into the wilderness, full of injuries.
The woman who used to be afraid of pain in the past didn't seem to feel the pain in her body now, and after a long time, there was no movement from above. Zhi Lan carried Yi Zhixing on her back with her thin body, staggering in the wind, she walked out of the wild forest without hesitation, and then walked to the Yin Palace, and her firm belief was always engraved in her heart. The pain, despair, and grief were all dispelled away by the strong belief that we wanted to save the Son of Heaven. No one knows how this weak woman with no power to carry the body of an adult man on her back, and no one knows how Zhi Lan relied on her own determination and carried the Son of Heaven back to Yin Palace step by step from the mountains and forests when she was seriously injured, this road is really long, but the pain of the whole process seems to have been completely abandoned by Zhi Lan, and there is only one belief that lingers in her mind from beginning to end, that is, it is necessary to let Yi Zhixing get timely diagnosis and treatment.
In the end, Zhilan successfully fulfilled her wish, but when she arrived at the Son of Heaven's bedroom, the pain accumulated along the way finally came together, and Zhilan immediately fainted on the ground, no longer having any strength.
The news of the disappearance of the Son of Heaven and the heavy injuries soon spread all over the country, not only that, but the good name of Qingwulou's mother Zhi who relied on the power of one person to carry back the Son of Heaven was also praised by the world, and a good story was once again spread in Yindi.
However, the rumored two people were in a coma all the time, and there was no sign of awakening, which made the courtiers of the Yin State anxious, and they were all worried about who should hand over the throne under Yi Zhixing, who had no heirs. If you want the Yin Dynasty to be stable, you must choose the orthodox person who will succeed you as soon as possible, after all, the life and death of Yi Zhixing is still uncertain, and Yin Chen has to think of a way for the future of the Yin Kingdom.
Therefore, during the days when the Son of Heaven was unconscious, Yi Zhixu actually returned to the court under the eagerness of the ministers.
To say that this Yi Zhixu is the person who has the most nothing to do with the emperor's throne, he has no ink, he is simple-minded, and he is so weak that when he fights for the throne, no prince has even been ruthless to him, if it weren't for the fact that there is no successor to the throne now, he would not have been repatriated.
"Ten princes, you can be regarded as returning, now the stability of the Yin Dynasty depends on you, Your Majesty has not woken up for a long time, as soon as you return now, the hearts of the people and ministers can also settle down."
"Naturally, don't worry, I will take charge of government affairs on behalf of the emperor."
Just like everyone thinks, Yi Zhixu also thinks that it will be difficult for Yi Zhixing to wake up again, so now he can bring a lot of people and henchmen, as if he wants to inherit the unification.
Although Yi Zhixing never woke up for a long time, Zhilan, who was in sympathy with him, woke up first. In the first moment of awakening, the only thing she wanted to see was the Son of Heaven.
Dragging a sick body, Zhi Lan hurried from the Jingwan Palace to the Son of Heaven, at this time, Yi Zhixing's face was still pale, except that he was a little neater, and his weak breath seemed to be no different from that time.
"How is Your Majesty's body? How long has it been since this happened, and why haven't you woken up yet? ”
"It's been more than half a month, and even the ten princes have rushed to the palace from the border, but ...... But Your Majesty, he still hasn't woken up......"
The palace maid on the side replied in a snort.
"Ten princes? Who are the Ten Princes? Why did the prince return to the court? ”
Zhi Lan was suspicious for a while, because Yan Qi was not there, it was really necessary for her to take on the responsibility of protecting the power of the Son of Heaven for Yan Qi. Whoever tries to get close to Yi Zhixing's belongings, Zhilan has an obligation to eradicate the scourge for him.
"I heard...... I heard that it was for the succession of the great unification...... Everyone said that His Majesty might not be able to wake up...... Therefore, he also invited the ten princes, who were the least favored at the beginning, to return to the court......"
After that, Zhi Lan completely fell into a long thought, although she was only worried about Yi Zhixing's life and safety all along, but worrying was always in vain, before he woke up, Zhi Lan must not let any villain who wanted to take advantage of the situation succeed.
