Chapter 18: Mountains and Rivers
The carriage swayed in the harsh sunlight was like a walking coffin, and the carriage was even more breathless. In the carriage, the long-term shaking made Yan Yue fall asleep. It's just that the terrifying scene in the dream reappeared, which deeply grabbed Yan Yue's heart and oppressed Yan Yue to breathe. General Sikong on the hospital bed had dilated pupils, a slow heartbeat, weak breathing, and convulsions, and his life was in danger. These symptoms indicate that his brain trauma has caused severe intracranial hemorrhage, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, which is a fatal symptom that can be used to push the brain tissue downwards if it is not lowered quickly, causing brain tissue damage, shock, and finally death.
"I can save him, I will definitely save him!" Yan Yue told herself loudly, but there was no confidence in that voice. Even Yan Yue felt the deep fear from her heart, and the silver needle in her hand was raised several times, but it didn't pierce General Sikong's body for a long time.
"I can't imagine that a general of the dignified Rong Dynasty died like this, and he couldn't even see what the murderer was like when he died." Wan Yan Xiao's cold sarcastic voice echoed in his ears, the five guards had all died, but General Sikong still had a trace of breath, just because General Sikong's heart was different from normal, so the knife in the chest did not become a fatal injury, but the most dangerous thing now was the brain trauma.
"Yan Yue, if you hadn't given General Sikong sleeping pills, General Sikong wouldn't have died, and the five guards wouldn't have died! Yan Yue, you return my Sikong general! Murong Yan's clear and cold face appeared in front of Yan Yue's eyes, but the voice made Yan Yue feel that her heart was tightly imprisoned together, and she felt even more breathless.
"Niangniang, we are innocent, return our lives!" The five guards suddenly stood up from different directions and gathered around Yan Yue. Blood was bubbling from their chests, and blood was flowing from the corners of their eyes, noses, and mouths, and the bloody feeling once again made Yan Yuekou unable to speak and unable to move.
"It's me, it's me who is sorry for you! It was me who was wrong! I am willing to fight with my life......" Yan Yue woke up with a loud scream, and his eyes seemed to flash the head of General Sikong who was pierced with silver needles one by one, and his breathing was weak, Yan Yue could clearly see that when the long silver needles were pulled out of his nose, the black blood flowed down the silver needles and fell to the ground, filling the entire room with a strong smell of blood
"General......" Yan Yue's voice was just shouted, and the scattered eyes in his eyes slowly condensed under someone's vigorous shaking. This time, under those gentle and concerned eyes, Yan Yue slowly sobered up. It's been three days since he left Muyang City, but the same dream appeared in Yan Yue's dream for three days in a row.
"Miss Yan, you're having nightmares again. When the king heard your voice, he was a little uneasy, so he came and took a look. Wan Yan Xiao first asked Yan Yue stiffly, and hurriedly explained his appearance in the carriage. Now Wan Yan Xiao already knows Yan Yue's real name and past identity. During the three-day trip, Yan Xiao and Yan Yue were one horse and one cart respectively, fully abiding by the traditional etiquette, and truly did not see, hear, speak, and listen to incivility.
"Miss Yan, we will go to the Changwei Mountain in front, and now when the party is over, why don't the girls get out of the car and take a walk?" After Yan Xiao asked, he casually handed over a handkerchief, and Yan Yue realized that he was already sweating all over his body. It's been three days since she left Muyang City, Yan Yue still can't get out of the bloody shadow, and her self-blame and remorse have made Yan Yue lose a lot of weight in a short period of time.
It's been three days, and from what happened in Linyang City to the negotiation between the two of them, Wan Yan Xiao found that the current Yan Yue and Yan Yue, who had just arrived in Muyang City, were almost like two people. Yan Yue in those days was cheerful, confident, and sunny...... But Yan Yue was depressed, confused, and hazy in the past three days...... It is like the lost child, wandering, restless day and night.
On the way to Yingxue City after leaving Namuyang, almost everywhere she went was the official mansion to welcome and send her, although this was the most basic etiquette, but Wan Yan Xiao knew that she didn't need such a etiquette Yan Yue, and she couldn't stand it, the rest she needed now was tranquility. So today's road is the direction of Wan Yan Xiao's temporary change, not only there is a quiet environment here, which can make people completely change their state of mind, but more importantly, Wan Yan Xiao himself also hopes to be quiet.
The accident of General Sikong and his guards is not only a matter of Yan Yue's personal blame, but more importantly, who is behind the black hand and what their purpose is. If it is done by the enemy, it is fine, but if it is done by a third party who deliberately provokes the incident between the two countries and wants to profit from it, then there should be many, many more things to come. But who is the third party? Is there a Cangmu country outside the Yingxue country and the Darong country, or is there a civil strife in the Yingxue country? This is a very real thing, and it could involve the lives of millions of people. And the incident was under Wan Yanxiao's nose, and it was the time when the minister was there, and this responsibility could not be shirked if he wanted to.
It's just that Wan Yan Xiao is not afraid, things are coming, no matter whether it is good or bad, Wan Yan Xiao wants to face it positively. On the other hand, the little woman, for three days, just because she has been feeling guilty, she has tortured herself to the point of losing her shape. Thinking of the people in the royal family, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, not only the person who is in a high position, but also wants to gain a firm foothold in it, which person does not have a few lives in his hands, and the little woman in front of him is just an unintentional mistake and blames herself so much, it is really too pure-hearted.
It is rumored that this woman is very demonic, and she charms the kings of the two countries for her to ignore the country, Murong Yan of the Darong Dynasty because of the war provoked, and Ling Yuechen, the lord of Cangmu State, lost the throne because of it; It is rumored that this female doctor has a double cultivation of poison, and she can take hundreds of people's lives between her hands, which can make people obey their lives, and can also bring people back to life at any time; It is even rumored that this woman is not happy with men, and there are always countless beautiful men around her......
After the medical skills, Yan Xiao has seen it, it can really bring people back from the dead, and the rumors are true! After the poison technique, Yan Xiao also saw a little, it was just a pill, and he wanted the general to sleep for a few days, and the rumors were even more true! As for the two aspects of this female demon and no man, Wan Yan Xiao has not had a chance to see it, but subconsciously Wan Yan Xiao feels that Yan Yue is not this kind of person! The demon queen of the country of woe, Wan Yan Xiao felt ridiculous when he thought about this title, that little woman was not only not as terrible as the legend, on the contrary, but full of cuteness.
And before Wan Yan Xiao knew it, the two had walked to the foot of the mountain. The wind blows the scent of flowers, and what catches your eye is the blooming flowers and the large expanse of green. Not far away, there was the sound of spring water Ding Dong, and Yan Yue seemed to be aware of the sound of the spring. Not far away, there was a spring flowing down from top to bottom, forming a flowing stream in this mountain stream, which was wet and clear. Yan Yue's depressed heart seemed to be suddenly injected with a breath of freshener, and she squatted down involuntarily, slowly picking up a handful of cold water and pouring it on her hot face, and her mind seemed to be no longer hot.
With white clouds above her head and the murmuring of water under her feet, Yan Yue suddenly longed to lie down in such a deep mountain and old forest, no longer calculated, no longer strife, and how good it would be to live a leisurely life every day. I carefully picked the best stone and sat down, leaning comfortably against the rock behind me. Taking off her shoes and socks without care, Yan Yue soaked her feet in the cool stream, and soaked her feet on the rocks with her eyes closed, leaving behind the worldly distractions for a while, and her heart suddenly became peaceful.
Wan Yan Xiao's heart beat violently countless times, and his eyes fell on the porcelain white skin, the slender and wonderful calves, and then moved to the impeccable little feet without blinking. Soft and boneless, like spring bamboo shoots, snow-white without a single blemish, under the sunlight, the skin seemed to reflect a faint luster, Wan Yan Xiao only felt a wave in his heart, and his breathing suddenly became short.
Suddenly there was a sound of birds singing in the trees, and Wan Yan Xiao woke up suddenly, and his eyes left in a hurry. With great speed, he picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the bird that was about to sing. The poor bird lost his life just because he sang the wrong song. Fortunately, that Yan Yue had been leaning on the rock and closing her eyes to recuperate, and she was not aware of the changes in this moment of Wan Yan Xiao. Wan Yan Xiao didn't dare to look at the shocking little feet anymore, turned around and found a flat grass to sit down, closed his eyes and condensed, and it took a long time for his breath to slowly stabilize.
Yan Yue didn't open her eyes and leave the spring water until she felt a chill on her body. There was silence all around, and when I stood up, I found that there was a person sitting on the ground with his back to him, even in this blue sky, the majestic mountains were still as burly and heroic. Yan Yue couldn't help laughing, this man's situation at this time may be even worse than his own, but the strange thing is that he is so calm and refreshed every day.
Yan Yue slowly got up and walked towards him, but there was a gentle and clear flute sound, at the foot of this silent mountain, the music with a touch of sadness, lingering infinite reverie and thoughts, like a silent spiritual scroll, like the gurgling spring that tightly held Yan Yue's heartstrings. The flute stopped for a long time before Yan Yue heard the deep voice asking, "Is it good?" ”
I heard the sound of the flute, and I felt that Yan Xiao's voice at this time was as beautiful as the cello. Yan Yue couldn't help but smile, and replied without hesitation: "It's good, it's good." Yan Yue didn't realize that this was the first time in three days that Yan Yue laughed heartily.
"Of course, this king's playing is good, this king has a lot of skills, and you will have a long experience when you have the opportunity." Wan Yan Xiao praised narcissistically, stood up and turned around and walked towards the mountain. Yan Yue behind her couldn't help but pout, the man in front of her is not young? How can you give a little sunshine so bright, and praise him so complacently!
Man, it's better to boast less!
