The official road can no longer be walked. The prince wearing a bamboo hat drove a thin horse chariot and took me in disguise on the wild road back to Jiang. The frame was bumpy, the wheels swayed, and I lay flat on the carriage, my whole body slumped, as if someone had sucked my muscles and bones out of my body. The half-man-tall thatch beside the wild road was swept into the wheels beside me, and the white velvet of the thatch fluttered above me in the sunlight and breeze.

For a while, I was overwhelmed by countless memories. Gongshixi's cheering became softer and farther away, and I closed my eyes and lingered on the border between dreams and memories.

Is it firelight, or is it sunlight?

"Girl, run!" The heart-rending roar of Gong Shixi woke me up from my dream.

I opened my eyes and a halberd was waving at me.

I turned to dodge it, and Gong Shixi jumped up and grabbed the man by the back of the heart and pulled him off the carriage: "Girl, go-"

Gong Shixi jumped into the carriage, his face was already splattered with blood, and I didn't have time to see how many assassins were behind him, so I got up and grabbed the reins and drank the whip.

Did Zhi Yao find me, it's the assassin from Zhifu?

The mountain road was rugged, and the people behind him were in hot pursuit, and Gong Shixi suddenly jumped out of the carriage with a shout.

"Official—" I shouted.

"Let's go—" He stopped the swarming Assassins with one man and one sword.

The blood-stained white thatch confused my eyes, I whipped all the way forward, the rugged mountain road kept shaking in front of me, I wanted to see the road ahead, but the gray in front of me, the white for a while, finally I saw it, but everything was spinning.

"Turn around—be careful—" Gong Shixi's angry roar drifted in the distance.

Flying, it turned out to be such a painful experience.

I watched the skinny foaming horse struggle to fall down the cliff, and I watched the heavens and the earth spin upside down before my eyes. There was no time to scream, no time to think about what had happened, a suffocating pain had hit her back.

Green pine needles scraped across my face, and a piercing crack sounded.

This time, I screamed.

The silk robe was torn, and my body leaned straight down, and I reached out and grabbed a thick branch, but my feet suddenly hung in the air. There was a hundred-foot cliff above my head, an abyss at my feet, and the fierce mountain wind blew past me, making me shake and tremble involuntarily.

The wind blew away my screams, and I was in pain*, and the palms, elbows, shoulder blades, and joints of my hands seemed to be torn off at any moment.

"Gongshi—" I was hanging from a pine branch when a fireball suddenly fell from the top of the cliff. Then I saw Gong Shixi's face burned by the fire.

He died, burning and falling off a cliff. The cliff was so deep that I didn't even hear the echo of him landing.

A desperate roar rushed down my throat, tears rolling down the corners of my eyes.

I want to live, and I want to see my daughter! I want to see the shirtless!

I was dying, a crimson sunset hanging over the sky, looking at me indifferently, watching my stiff fingers leave the pine branches one by one.

"No—"

"Don't thank me."

I widened my eyes, and someone with a vine tied around my waist took my hand with a smile: "Look, no matter where you are, I can always find you." ”

---------------------------------------------------------

There is no such thing as a forget-you-no-go grass, nor is there a pot of wine that can be forgotten. When you are young, what you can't forget, what you don't want to forget, the long years will be erased for you little by little.

I hadn't dreamed of them for many years, but last night I saw the dead Gong Shixi in my dreams again, his body on fire and falling from in front of me in an extremely distorted posture. I hung on the cliff, and in the distance was the bloody sunset. I thought I had experienced despair, but it wasn't until the moment my fingers left the pine branches that I understood what true despair was. There is no circuit, there is no way, only death awaits me.

If it weren't for that ancient pine, without innocence, I would have fallen into the cliff with the dead Gongshixi, and became a pile of broken bones in the abyss at the bottom of the cliff. If it weren't for the sudden heavy rain on the outskirts of the royal capital, and without the passing Bian Que who was collecting medicine, I would have been lying in the heartless tree and sleeping in the ground.

The promises of the first half of my life dissipated with my "death". Only those who promised two people came true. I was sick for two years and made myself a medicine jar. Two years later, Wuxie, who left home after giving up the country, accompanied me to Yunmengze to meet the old man. When everyone thought I was dead, Chen Yi took my little bud and waited for me by Yunmengze for two years and three months.

In the courtyard full of birdcages in Mingyi, I finally met my daughter. In the sun, she was piling up the lake mud on Mingyi's bare feet. Mingyi stepped out of the pit where she "sown", she pulled the hem of his clothes, and called in a milky voice: "Mingyi, Mingyi......"

She doesn't know me, but her voice is my natural voice.

Spring goes to autumn, day and night, and when she finally opened her mouth to call me A-Niang, we left the Daze where Yunmeng grows. Southern Chu, Yanbei, Yuedong, Western Shu...... I've traveled all over the world with my family. The world is beautiful, and there are many places that are more beautiful than this valley in front of me, but I want to be closer to that person, closer to him.

I didn't do what I promised him when we separated. In order to seize the land, he killed the king, and Bo Yingmo Lu stabbed himself to death. I went to see him secretly in the middle of my illness, and he sat alone in Berlu's room and wept. He has no relatives, none left. From that moment on, I knew that no matter how far and beautiful I went after that, I would always come back here, back to Jinguo.

Over the years, the Zhi clan has been in full swing, and Zhi Yao has dominated the government and called him an uncle. Cutting down Zhongshan, destroying revenge, attacking Qi, and invading Zheng, the war in the Central Plains is not extinguished. Wuxian tried his best, he endured what ordinary people couldn't bear, and he couldn't bear ordinary people, he saved the Zhao family, but the day of our reunion is still far away.

If I had known that, I shouldn't have stolen the old stuff and left the new knot. Let him think I'm dead, but it won't hurt for a while. After enduring more than ten years of oppression and carrying more than ten years of expectations, I made him more tired and painful.

"Why are you blowing the wind here?" Innocence appeared behind me.

I let go of my fingertips, and the bitter mountain wind swept away a single gray hair from my fingertips.

"That kid named Wang Xu is here again, and he's trapped in the 'ecstasy tent' you planted again. It's getting dark, do you want to save him again? ”

"Didn't he know that evil spirits dwelt in the valley of ghosts? I have to come in and die. I turned and stood, leaving the sunset sinking in the sea of clouds.

He said that he only knew that there was a sage in the valley of ghosts who he wanted to apprentice to, and he had never seen any evil ghosts or mountain ghosts. He wasn't afraid of quinoa, and quinoa liked him a lot. ”

"Forget it, let Xiao Ya'er bring him in!"

“…… The little guy stunned me and Quinoa last night, and left a book alone to go out of the valley. ”

"Did you go to Yunmengze to find Mingyi again?"

"No, yes...... Go to Jinyang. Innocent looked at me sideways.

"Jinyang." I muttered those two words and stopped. Wuxian has been trapped in Jinyang for more than a year, I can bear it, but our daughter can't help it. In order to weaken Sanqing, Zhiyao forced Sanqing to sacrifice a large city of 10,000 households in the name of the Marquis of Jin, and even specified that the Zhao family ceded Cai Di and Gao Wolf. These two cities are the important land of the Zhao family, and the number of households far exceeds 10,000, and Zhi Yao's move is to cut off the unsympathetic siblings in one go. Han and Wei Ershi were forced to sacrifice the city by Zhi's obscenity, but Wuxian changed his forbearance and categorically refused. Judging the situation and gaining insight, he always knows when to endure it and when he must not bear it! Zhi Yao was furious, sent troops to attack Zhao, and led the army to retreat to Jinyang. Jinyang is a city built by us with a load of soil and a load of stone. Jinyang has Yin Duo, and Yin Duo has the hearts of the people. I was relieved, since he could refuse Zhiyao, he always thought of a way to deal with it. But when he entered the valley the month before, he told me that Zhiyao had built a dam upstream of Fenshui......

"Innocent, you said I went, would he be angry? Last time, I borrowed the hand of the Weiguo Nan clan to prevent Zhiyao from attacking and defending twice, and he deliberately sent people to search for 'Emperor Xiumu' in all the countries. Emperor Xiu, Huang Hua and Heishi, are not angry. At that time, he was angry with me for a long time. ”

"It doesn't matter if he is angry or not, if Jinyang City is broken and he dies, the dead will definitely not be angry." Innocent took the grass and weaved a fluffy grass ring and put it on my head, "Ah Shi, what are we going to eat at night?" ”

"Let's go!" I sighed.

"Going to cook?"

"Go to Jinyang and bring Xiao Ya'er back."

"Oh, the child in the ecstasy?"

"Take him with you."

"Okay, then let's go to Jinyang together to laugh at Zhao Wuxian!"
