Chapter 144: I Didn't Save You

Zimo looked at the woman in front of him, and he felt that how could a kind-hearted woman who was so dusty be a female killer hiding beside Hou Ye.

He could never accept this reality, because from the eyes of Linglong's loving healer, everything about her was so real and unadulterated.

"I don't need to explain anything to you?" Linglong is a little anxious, if it goes on like this, not to mention that today's plan will fail, even she can't protect herself.

"No, I can't watch you go wrong." Zimo grabbed Linglong's hand and didn't let her go back to the banquet.

"You don't have to worry about my business!" Linglong tried all her strength, but she just couldn't break free.

Linglong really hates his nosy at the moment, but in Zimo's heart, he can't accept that such a kind woman will be so wrong.

Because that night, Linglong saved him, and in his heart, the image of Linglong's kind doctor had long been engraved in his heart.

"Miss, Miss...... Where are you? This voice is Cui'er's voice.

I guess I haven't seen Linglong for so long, and I'm looking for her everywhere.

When Zimo heard the voice, he hurriedly pulled Linglong behind the wall in the backyard to the west and covered Linglong's mouth with his hand.

Cui'er walked here and looked around, and saw that it was remote and there were no people, so she walked back.

Zimo watched the maid leave before letting go of his hand.

Linglong gasped slightly, probably because she had just covered her mouth, and she had some difficulty breathing.

"Tell me, why did you do this?" Zimo was asking her, asking her this question very seriously.

"You misunderstood, I didn't actually plan to kill Hou Ye, otherwise, he would have died a long time ago, how could he wait until today." Linglong actually replied like this.

"Then how do you explain what happened to the man in black just now?" Zimo didn't understand a little, looking at the person just now, he was definitely not a good person.

"They asked me to kill Hou Ye, but I am not a cold-blooded person, during these days, Hou Ye treated me very well, and I will not harm him." What Linglong said was also the truth in her heart.

In fact, during this time in the Imperial Capital Mansion and the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye's concern for Linglong was really like his father. It's a pity that Linglong feels that she doesn't have this blessing.

"So what are you going to do next?" Zimo asked her.

"The reason why I can become a pawn is because I have the ability to become their pawn, if I have more important chips here than killing Hou Ye, I think, they don't dare to do anything to me for the time being?"

"Need my help?" Zimo asked with concern.

"No, the more people get involved, the more distracted I am." Linglong said.

"Then what will you do when you go back now?" Zimo is still not at ease.

"I'm going to tell Hou Ye the truth, I think it's better for me to say some things myself." What Linglong said, even she didn't know if it was true or false?

She hated herself a little for such lies, and when did she begin to learn to lie.

Zimo didn't think much about it, it was because in his heart, he would rather choose to believe in her, and in his heart, he always believed in her.

……

After the singing and dancing, around the end of the evening, the Hou Ye was a little tired and went back to the palace of Yishui Pavilion to rest for a while.

When Linglong saw it, she walked over. Because she knew that now was the perfect opportunity, kill him, and the mission would be over.

"Hou Ye is a little unwell, you step down first, and I will diagnose Hou Ye's pulse." Linglong withdrew the maid beside Hou Ye at this time.

Hou Ye's illness has always been taken care of by Linglong, and they are used to it, so they didn't think much about it and withdrew.

Linglong sat and checked Hou Ye's pulse, and after diagnosing the pulse, she gave Hou Ye a pill, and after Hou Ye ate it, he began to feel drowsy.

Linglong remembered the letter she had received two days ago: "When this is done, escape from the path to the east, where our men will meet you."

It was a letter from the general, and now was the time to do it......

Linglong took out a dagger from her cuff, and she held the dagger in her right hand and aimed it at the position of Hou Ye's heart.

As long as this knife continues, the mission is over, and she can go to find her relatives.

But now what Hou Ye said to her suddenly appeared in her mind:

Linglong, this is the only book with the longest history stored in the palace of the Southern Shang Kingdom today, which records the rhythm, fingering, tune, system and other relevant records of the previous qin music. You have always been a good piano, and I think you will love this score, which is a special reward from the king.

She suddenly remembered these things, and the hand holding the dagger suddenly froze.

People are not cold-blooded, these days, Hou Ye is really like his biological father, and his delicate hands are trembling.

But if you don't kill him today, then you will have to die, and Jinniang will also die, thinking of this, there was a determined look in her eyes.

I'm sorry......

Linglong held the dagger in both hands, as if the thing in her hand weighed tens of millions of catties, and she used all her strength to stab it hard.

Blood suddenly overflowed from the position of Hou Ye's heart, and the blood of blood stimulated Linglong's perspective.

Her hands were trembling, and at this time, a person suddenly broke through the door, Linglong was startled, she turned her head to look, and that person turned out to be Jinniang......

Since the last time Jin Niang sent herself to the Imperial Capital City, she has not seen her again. It was very surprising to see her here today, but one thing that surprised Linglong even more was that Jin Niang was seriously injured, and she stumbled in holding her wounds.

What did she seem to say to Linglong?

Jin Niang walked to Linglong's side with difficulty, and just as she was about to speak, she fell down, and that look made people very frightened.

Jin Niang, her expression before she died was so frightened......

And what does all this mean?

Linglong probed Jinniang's pulse with her hand and found that she was dead, and Linglong suddenly felt a chill in her heart. I don't know what message Jin Niang's eyes wanted to tell me before she died?

At this time, more than a dozen arrows shot in, Linglong lowered her head, and found that at this time, Hou Ye ...... Hou Ye...... he

He...... There was still a trace of breath, Linglong squatted beside Hou Ye, and saw him spit out a few words softly: "Hurry up...... Fast...... Come on!!! ”

Linglong's heart suddenly ached, why? Why is that?

Hou Ye knew that he was the one who assassinated him, so why did he care about a female assassin again???

Linglong suddenly felt regretful, she regretted killing Hou Ye by herself. So she pulled out the dagger, and the blood splattered out, and the bright red blood sprayed onto Linglong's green dress, staining a large piece of red, and her hands were covered with blood......

Pain...... I've never hurt like this......

Linglong felt like she was running out of breath at the moment, and she looked at her bloodied hands.

"Am I wrong, am I doing wrong?" Linglong crouched there and wept bitterly, tears blurring her eyes.

The sound outside the door caught Linglong even more off guard.

"You have surrounded me with the whole temple." The people outside shouted.

It was Mu Zijiang's voice, and Linglong was very familiar with his voice. At this time, Linglong woke up from the grief of the scene just now.

Her sane mind told her that she had to get out of here quickly, or else she would ......

Linglong threw the dagger on the ground and fled through the back door of the temple in the direction of the east. She didn't dare to look back, she had never fled for her life like she did today, she thought that she had come here to carry out a mission, and she had long been ready to expose her sacrifice at any time.

But when Linglong remembered the white jade pendant, she realized that she still had infinite attachment to life.

Finding relatives is the most important thing in her life, for more than ten years, she is alive like a walking corpse, and she has never had any feelings, relatives......

The only loved one in this world......

Linglong ran to the east side of the palace, this is very close to crossing the river, if he is not wrong, this will be the place where the general has arranged in advance to let him escape for his life.

Linglong was only slightly relieved when she fled here, and as she was about to walk forward from a wall behind the palace, a terrible sight discouraged her.

General, general he is giving instructions.

Two teams of men and horses stood in front of the general, and saw him give an order, and his eyes were full of coldness: "Kill, leave no one!" ”

Linglong finally understood the look in Jinniang's eyes before she died, that look was actually that Jinniang wanted to tell herself that the general would not let them live, no matter whether they completed the task or not, the only outcome was the same - death!

Only the mouth of a dead man does not speak!

Linglong didn't recognize the reality until this moment, and she felt ridiculous.

But she wouldn't just let them be slaughtered, so Linglong turned around and ran back, how sharp the general's men were, the news of the escape had already alarmed them.

Linglong kept running forward, and Mu Zijiang's men and horses also chased after her, and the target of a person's escape was one, so they could easily know her movements.

When Linglong kept running and ran to the top of the Yishui Pavilion, she finally didn't have to run anymore, because there was an abyss in front of her.

Several teams of men and horses are ready to go, each holding bows and arrows aimed at Linglong - this female killer!

Yishui Pavilion made such a big move, Zimo already knew it, he didn't believe that all this was done by Linglong, how could a person who could live a life like a poem be the murderer of Hou Ye.

He couldn't watch Linglong being killed by random arrows like this, so he drew his sword and prepared to save her.

"Zimo, this woman is not worth saving."

Zimo turned around, and the person who spoke turned out to be a senior brother.

"The purpose of our coming here this time is to protect Hou Ye, and now that Hou Ye is dead, if you save her again, it will be unkind!" Although Zi Ye didn't know why Zimo wanted to save this woman, he wouldn't watch his junior brother save such a person.

"But ......" Zimo still can't ignore it.

"You still have to think about how to explain to the master." Ziye was reminding him that now that Master Hou is dead, how should the master explain.

……

Cliff side.

"You don't have to run anymore, because you can't run today." Mu Zijiang said to Linglong.

And standing not far away, Linglong saw the general's action, and he was ordering his subordinates to kill him.

The steep cliff seemed so abrupt in the darkness that she suddenly turned her head, a tear fell, and with a poignant smile on her face, she looked at the group in front of her, and then jumped off the cliff resolutely.

In that moment, it was as if all time stood still......

This may be his fate, and in the end he ended up with the same ending as Miss Rulan.

At this moment, it seems that all the earthly grievances in my life have disappeared......

Zimo stood not far away, watching all this happen, and when he saw Linglong jump off the cliff, his heart hurt......

When night fell, darkness came, and everything here was calm again, and when everyone had left, there was only one figure, still standing quietly on the edge of the cliff......
