Chapter 88: Death to Apologise
Chapter 88 Death to Atone
Since Sima Wei was seriously ill, the court became a battlefield between Sima Ze and Sima Xi, and arranged for the original brother and others, and after learning of Lin Jingyuan's death, Xu Mengmeng planned to leave the dispute temporarily, so he pretended to be sick and planned to secretly go to the north.
One is because Lin Jingyuan is General Bai's old friend after all, and when the Bai Mansion has not been beheaded by the full house, Lin Jingyuan still took good care of the original body when he was in the north, so she should go and see it; The second is that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Lin Jingyuan's death cannot be concealed for long, so she must control the soldiers and horses in the north before the news breaks.
Before dawn, Xu Mengmeng took Jinchen and Qiye out of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, dressed up in disguise and rode towards Jizhou in the north. Due to the rush of the trip, Xu Mengmeng didn't pay attention to anything else since he set off, so naturally he didn't notice the fact that he was being followed.
"General, be careful!" The three of them rode out of the capital until it was dark, and suddenly a strong wind shot from the side, but fortunately, Qiye reacted quickly enough and drew his sword in time to block it.
"Ding~" A sharp arrow fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, but Xu Mengmeng and the others changed their faces in an instant.
"Huh~" The three of them grabbed the reins of their horses at the same time and stopped, turned over and dismounted, held their swords and looked around with a wary face, and soon dozens of people in black came out to surround them.
"Who sent you? How did you know our whereabouts? Xu Mengmeng looked at the leader of the black-clothed people with a cold face.
"You'll know this when you go to hell! Give it to me! The leader didn't plan to talk nonsense anymore, so he waved his hand and slashed at Xu Mengmeng with his sword.
In fact, even if he didn't say that Xu Mengmeng knew that these people were either Sima Ze or Sima Xi, she was just curious about how these people knew their whereabouts.
Xu Mengmeng was puzzled in her heart, but Jinchen beside her guessed almost instantly that Zhao Yuling was intentional last night, she didn't really want to let herself go to the door to propose, her real purpose was to find out the whereabouts of the young lady, at this time, he couldn't tell whether he was more sad or blamed himself.
"Be careful~ When is it, why are you still distracted?" Seeing that Jinchen beside him was a little absent-minded, Xu Mengmeng yelled anxiously at him while blocking a sneak attack for him.
"I was wrong, General!" Brought back to his senses by Xu Mengmeng's voice, Jinchen quickly adjusted his emotions and concentrated on fighting the enemy.
The two sides came and went, surrounded by swords and swords, shadows and blood splashes, more and more people in black fell to the ground, Xu Mengmeng and the three of them had more and more scars, and their physical strength was rapidly consumed, Xu Mengmeng knew that he was afraid that he would be in a catastrophe today, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"Miss, you've been sitting like this for two hours since breakfast, and I'll help you in to rest, right?" Caiyun saw that her young lady had been sitting at the stone table in the courtyard in a daze after breakfast, and couldn't help but suggest.
"Did you think I did something wrong?" Yu Ling's gaze stayed on the blooming peach blossoms, and a soft murmur overflowed from the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether she was asking Caiyun or herself.
"What?" Caiyun looked at her inexplicably, and at this moment she inexplicably had the illusion that the person in front of her was not the second lady but the eldest lady.
"It's nothing, you go down!" Zhao Yuling waved her hand, and only after Caiyun left did she carefully take out a white silk handkerchief from her clothes and unfold it, and the crystal clear emerald green hosta came into view, blocking her chest in one breath, making her eyes slightly red.
The battle in the dark night became more and more tragic, both sides tried their best to leave each other, and the other party was outnumbered, so Xu Mengmeng and the three of them could usually fight five or ten enemies, and at this time they gradually revealed their invincibility.
Jinchen's heart became more and more anxious, it didn't matter if he couldn't recognize people and die, but he couldn't let the young lady lose his life because of his mistake, so at this critical juncture, he quickly made a decision.
"General, don't blame her!" Ignoring the long sword attacking from behind, Jinchen pushed Xu Mengmeng and Qiye out of the encirclement with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Qiye, take the general away!" ”
Qiye obviously also understood the meaning of Jinchen's desire to atone for his sins, and dragged Xu Mengmeng, who wanted to rush in again, ran to the horse that he had abandoned before and turned over, and slapped his palm on the horse's back.
After riding away from the battle circle, Qiye relied on his strong night vision to look back, and saw the scene of several swords stabbing into Jinchen's body, and an indescribable complex feeling surged in his heart.
"General, why are you back? Ambushed? What about Jinchen? When the two of them rode back to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the sky was already about to start to brighten, and they did not alarm everyone, but they were bumped into by Lixing, who always got up early.
In the face of Lixing's inquiry, Xu Mengmeng's mood at this moment was very complicated, her lips were pursed, the faint sadness in her eyes was removed, and she turned back to her camp.
"Jinchen He revealed our actions to Miss Zhao Er, we were besieged by a group of men in black on the way, he pushed us out in order to let us survive, but he himself ...... It's a death to apologize! Nanaya shook his head and sighed.
Although he promised Jinchen not to blame Zhao Yuling, Xu Mengmeng still couldn't forgive Zhao Yuling's behavior of using Jinchen deep down. In her opinion, although the White Ghost Twelve Horsemen are not good-looking and do not have a strong family background, they are all very good, and they are worthy of any excellent woman in this world.
"Lixing, in a while, you can arrange for a few silver guards to bring Jinchen's corpse back and bury it with Qingli and them! In addition, tonight, someone will be sent to take Zhao Yuling to the cemetery, and I will wait for her there!" "Presumably she is also the last person Jinchen wants to see! Moreover, she owes him an apology!
Love is so strange, when you fall in love with someone, even though he leaves you with a lot of holes, you can't avoid the fact that the last person you want to see is still him.
The news that Jinchen protected Ning Jun with his life was transmitted back to Zhao Mansion Zhao Yuling knew it, and she couldn't tell the complexity in her heart. She knew that Ning Jun would not let her go, and she did not intend to resist, so after the candle flame was extinguished, she sent Caiyun away, and she sat at the table and waited quietly.
When the men sent by Lixing broke in, she consciously followed them, as if she had no idea what kind of challenge she was about to face.
"Miss Zhao Er, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to harm!" Xu Mengmeng, who was standing in front of Jinchen's tomb, heard the faint footsteps behind him, and turned to look at her with deep eyes.
Zhao Yuling silently took a few steps forward and squatted down, took the yellow paper in Xu Mengmeng's hand, and threw them into the burning ashes one by one, the faint firelight blocked her tearful delicate face, and the crystal clear teardrops silently smashed into the grass in front of her.
Xu Mengmeng turned around and stared at her slightly trembling body condescendingly, and then walked away for a moment.
