Chapter 152: The Ending (I)
i^%&*";
The noise in the palace is getting louder and louder. From time to time, a few panicked wails can be heard. Liu Guiren followed me closely and ran to the vicinity of Kunning Gate.
My homely outfit and Fleur didn't attract attention. Easily evaded countless bandits. My heart is getting more and more relaxed. There was even some euphoria.
As long as it's out of the palace. We can reunite with Cong Mian and Mian Mian as a family. Forever away from the rights and wrongs of the people in the palace.
"Stop." A man's voice came from behind him.
I was shocked. Listen to this tone and know that he is a bandit. The three of us obediently turned around. He looked at the man with the knife in amazement.
There was a smug smile on his swarthy face. Eyes looked back and forth between me and Liu Guiren. I touched my chin." Yo. I'm so lucky. You're both stunning."
Fleur subconsciously protected me in front of me. Sharply said: "You dare. Unless your head doesn't want it anymore."
A hint of surprise crossed the bandit's face. Soon he calmed down. smiled: "Just look at the appearance of this little girl, you know that your identity is a master. That's going to be easy."
I hear this. I don't know it's good. whispered in Fu's ear: "If I count to three, you will pull Liu Guiren and run quickly."
Fluff was slightly stunned. Nodded suspiciously.
I smiled and said, "This big brother. You and I don't know each other. We're just maids in the palace. You let us live."
There seemed to be a hint of emotion on the bandit's face. I act when I see the opportunity. He whispered, "One. Two. Three. Run."
Fleur gritted her teeth. Grabbed Liu Guiren's hand and ran desperately. And I followed Fluff and chose another path to run separately. I told Fluff. Once run away. Meet in the gazebo outside the palace.
I lifted my skirt and ran fast. It also seems to have bumped into people who panicked back and forth. The footsteps behind him are getting closer and closer. I was panting heavily from fear.
Finally. The man behind me grabbed me all at once. A knife was put against my neck. The man said in a joking tone, "Listen. I know you should be the master of this house. You should know where the Emperor's Treasury is. Take me there."
I nodded obediently. Moving footsteps. He followed in my footsteps for a while. I suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the crowd. He was nervously searching for the figure.
It's Cong Mian...... How did he get into the palace?
Cong Mian saw my eyes in the panicked crowd. Stopped. He stared at me blankly. There is a surprise in the eyes. It's a lost surprise.
Across the crowd. I smile like a flower. Lips move slightly. But he didn't say anything. Because I felt the coldness of the knife behind me. Don't dare to move. Cong Mian also saw the bright knife. The smile on his face suddenly turned cold.
"Hurry up. Stunned to do something." The man let out a low roar.
I lifted my feet slightly and took two steps. Don't look away and glance at him. Desperate to run in the direction of Cong Mian. I had only run two steps before I fell in a hurry. The moment I fell, I saw that Cong Mian had moved to my side.
He almost pounced on me. An unprecedented warmth welled up in my heart. Through the crook of Cong Mian's arm, I saw the silver sword shadow stuck in Cong Mian's back.
He blocked a knife for me.
I almost cried out loud and wailed, "What's wrong with you. You're all right."
He shook his head with a wry smile. Moved a body. I was able to get up. Crying and holding him in his arms." Brother Lu. I'll save you..."
He stroked my face with his bloodied hand. In a low voice, "It's okay. I'm going to take you out of the palace. Let's go. This time. I'll definitely take you away."
I wiped away my tears. Glancing at the wounds on his body. Firmly helped him up: "Let's go. Mian Xi is still waiting for us outside the palace......"
Cong Mian nodded weakly. The look in his eyes gradually dimmed. Blood from the wound dripped down his clothes. The bluestone bricks are full of bright flowers on the ground.
"You'll be fine. You said you were going to take care of me for the rest of my life. You can't break your word." I choked up. Hands caressing his face. I was so distressed that I could barely breathe.
"I suddenly miss the time we rode outside the city......" his voice became quieter. The arm suddenly drooped. The eyes closed slowly.
"Brother Lu." I groaned. His body was shaking in his hands. You can't die. You don't want to die. How can you die without my permission? We'll be reunited as a family soon.
I wish you could take me out of town for horseback riding. Smell the aroma of flowers and plants. Gently lie in the crook of your warm arms and sleep quietly...
The bandit stayed there for a moment. He didn't expect the man who rushed over to block the knife for me. He gradually revealed a fierce gaze. stopped in front of me: "What a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks."
"Kill me too." I snapped. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He was slightly stunned. He drew his sword. My eyes closed slowly. Cong Mian. We're going to die together.
I could almost feel the wind whistling through the tip of the knife. The corners of my mouth go up. Hold Cong Mian's hand tightly. Brother Lu. You won't be alone. I'm coming...
"Bang". This was followed by the sound of swords falling to the ground. I opened my eyes in surprise. The bandit fell to the ground with a look of astonishment. On the chest is a hole in blood the size of a coin.
After the bandit was in the end, I saw Mianning behind him. A puff of white smoke came out of the fire gun in his hand. He was followed by the well-armed Praetorian Guards of the palace.
"You're all right." Mianning asked in a concerned tone.
I laughed with tears on my face, "Kill me. Kill me......"
Mianning glanced at Cong Mian in my arms. It seems to understand something." Now there are a lot of people in the palace of the Heavenly Doctrine. You're not safe here. I'll send you out of the palace."
I pushed his arm away. Straight and struggling, he carried Cong Mian behind him. He said dumbly, "Let's go home, Brother Lu."
I struggled every step of the way. The blood on Cong Mian's body fell on the road drop by drop. Carry him tightly. I'm afraid he's falling off my back.
Mianning nervously followed behind me. He whispered, "You put him down. He's dead."
"What nonsense are you talking about. He didn't die. He's alive and well. He just fell asleep." I yelled hoarsely. The blood in my heart dripped down little by little.
It's dark in front of my eyes. I fell to the ground. I was also relieved......
That year. Meet on the street. This is where the fate of you and me begins. It's been eleven years. Eleven years of ups and downs have washed away my unruliness. I was immersed in the peach orchard spring dream I had woven and refused to wake up.
There is nothing more powerful than the blood of the person you love splashing in front of you. It came miserably. Maybe life is supposed to be poignant.
Spring is still as promised. The watery years have taken away the beauty of flowers. Those unspoken loves are buried in this ruin.
