Chapter 68: Return to the Kingdom of Jin
"Don't ......" I couldn't help but shout at the moment when I watched the phoenix fall.
"There's someone on the roof!"
An arrow came at me, and I dodged and jumped up the palace wall.
A rain of arrows came at me, and I couldn't dodge, and I was hit by several arrows. I endured severe pain, jumped off the roof, and fled all the way along the palace wall.
"Chase!" Someone shouted in the distance.
Over the years, I have been extremely familiar with this Afang Palace, and of course I know where to flee.
The north side of the palace wall, overgrown with weeds, has fallen into disrepair and has a hidden hole. From time to time, some cats and dogs from outside the palace came in from there.
When I was almost there, the hole was a few dozen meters away from me. I heard the sound of whizzing arrows in my ears, and instinctively, I dodged. The moment I turned, a sharp arrow plunged into my left chest. My heart felt like someone was suddenly clutching me, and I fell to the ground in pain, but my survival instinct pushed me forward.
"Search, it's definitely around here." The shouts of soldiers could be heard in the distance.
I crawled forward with all my strength, and it was raining heavily. I crawled forward in the rain. "I can't be caught by them, I'd rather die of serious injuries than be tortured to death by them." I thought to myself.
I'm really tired, and I feel like I'm running out of energy. The weeds on the ground scratched my body, and my face hurt hotly. The rain washed over my wounds, and the blood that flowed was washed away.
The wounds on my body gradually became numb, and all my strength seemed to drain from me little by little......
I still remember that year, when I was in high spirits, I mixed into the captives of the Jie people in order to save those girls; I still remember that in those years, I followed Ran Min to fight in the south and the north, and we were born and died; I still remember that year, I was captured by Murong Xue in Zhongnan Mountain, and since then I have lost my freedom and fallen into purgatory on earth......
Decades have passed, and I have nothing left. Now even the phoenix has gone west, in this era of smoke, no matter how noble your background is like Murong Chong; Even if you are as brave as Ran Min and as majestic as Fu Jian, you will not escape the fate of becoming a king and defeating you.
The moment I climbed out of the palace, I also used all the strength of my life. In the heavy rain, I lay on the ground, looked into the distance, and muttered: I am free......
When I woke up, it was Liu Yu standing next to the bed.
It turned out that there was civil strife in Chang'an, and Afang Palace was on fire. Liu Yu, who had been promoted to join the army, learned the information and led the Beifu army to take advantage of the chaos to invade Chang'an.
After Han Yan killed Murong Chong, he supported Duan Sui as the emperor, and due to the invasion of the Jin army, Duan Sui was defeated by Liu Yu and led his troops to return to his homeland.
After invading Afang Palace, Liu Yu searched all over the palace, but he didn't find me. But he still didn't give up, searched the palace within a radius of ten miles, and finally found me dying outside the palace walls in the northeast and brought me back to the Jin Kingdom.
I subconsciously touched my neck and found that the bloodstone pendant that had been hanging around my neck was missing: "Where's my pendant?" ”
"Someone, bring it in!" I saw that Liu Yu ordered someone to present an arrow, and the arrow passed through the center of the bloodstone. It turned out that this bloodstone actually saved my life. The arrow pierced through the bloodstone and into my left chest, just a millimeter away from my heart.
The relics of indulgence actually saved my life. Even in heaven, he is watching over me. I took the bloodstone and held it tightly, and I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Qing'er, you have been living abroad for more than ten years, and now you are finally back. Don't cry, everything will be fine in the future. All the suffering is over! "Liu Yu thought I had escaped, so he cried.
"Brother Yu, how do you know that I am in Chang'an?" I asked him.
"Back then, we were attacked by Li Nong in Taihang Mountain and fell into the cliff, but fortunately we were rescued by Ding You and escaped from the mountains."
"Li Nong?"
"That's right, it's Li Nong!" I remember that Li Nong was executed by Ran Min shortly after for rebellion, and now it seems that he died innocently.
"We had a bumpy journey back to the Jin Kingdom. When I returned, I asked around for news from you, but I didn't hear from you. Until ......"
"Until what?
"Until...... Until my spies unexpectedly saw you in Pingyang City. I just knew that you have been by the side of King Nanyang of Yan Kingdom all these years. ”
"Yes, I and I were taken captive into the Yan Palace by the Murong sisters and brothers, and we were in a level for several years, until the Yan Kingdom was broken by the Qin State. It's a pity that the indulger died in a foreign country and didn't get a good death......" I said regretfully.
"Indulgence ......"
"What's wrong with him?" I asked.
"Nothing! Qing'er, you just came back, have a good rest! Now that it's back, everything is fine! ”
"Good!"
