The situation in Beishan was worse than everyone expected, the hole a few feet wide had long been covered by huge stones, and the wooden frame that had been used to hold ore had been smashed to pieces.

Yu Zhiyan stood at the tuyere, and the cold wind mixed with the torrential rain blew on her body, almost blowing her thin body away.

Feng Huang took the umbrella and slowly walked behind her, shielding her from the wind and rain.

Yu Zhiyan was not moved by his hospitality, but just watched with a pale face as the soldiers moved the stones away.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the stones and dirt from the mountain were constantly washed down and thrown at the guards.

The place where Yu Zhiyan was standing gradually loosened, and Feng Huang hurriedly said: "You better stay away, you still have your child in your belly now." ”

Yu Zhiyan turned his head to look at her, his bloodshot eyes looked a little hideous, "It's not your child, why are you so worried." ”

Feng Huang's eyes gradually showed a little coolness because of her questioning.

And at this moment, the shouts of soldiers were heard in the distance, "Dig, dig—"

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan's empty chest seemed to regain its beating in an instant.

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly walked over, but her feet slipped and she almost fell over, if it weren't for Feng Huang holding her slender waist behind, she was afraid that she would have to fall and bleed.

He said worriedly, "Slow down." ”

But Yu Zhiyan was full of worries about Gu Jue, where could he hear his words, he only stepped on the kneeless mud and walked to the entrance of the cave.

And the people inside were still alive, and they only called out over and over again, and when the guards had pulled them up with ropes, they all sat on the ground and wept with joy or wept aloud.

Yu Zhiyan couldn't wait for Gu Jue, so she called his name over and over again in her throat, but the wind and rain were too strong, and the sound she almost tried her best to make was drowned out.

The last person to be rescued was Er Niu, who leaned against the top of the mountain and gasped for breath, his face full of joy that he had escaped death.

Yu Zhiyan ran to his side, grabbed his arm, and then said urgently: "Have you seen Donglang?" ”

Seeing that it was her, Erniu hurriedly said with a sad face, "He is at the bottom, but he refuses to come out." ”

Yu Zhiyan's hand clutched at the stone, and the nails on his hand hurt heartbreakingly, "Why, why?" Is he still bent on dying? ”

Erniu was dressed in a rough manner, and said loudly, "He also asked me to bring you a message, saying that when he got married, he made a heavy oath that he would never write a letter of divorce to you in this life, and he asked you to remarry as a widow." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan seemed to have been struck by lightning, and she shouted miserably, "Bastard, this bastard." ”

Her voice quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they couldn't help but look at her one by one. In the eyes of everyone, she looked like she was crazy, and if her aunt saw it, she was afraid that she would have to blame him for being unseemly.

After Yu Zhiyan said this, he walked straight to the entrance of the cave, and then said, "Get out of the way, I want to go down." ”

Feng Huang had been following behind her, and he had heard what he had just said clearly, and he hurriedly said, "I'll send someone down to get him up." ”

Yu Zhiyan shook off his hand suddenly, and then said coldly: "Since he is looking for death, I will go down to accompany him, and everyone will go together, wouldn't it be happy." ”

Feng Huang saw her say such decisive words, there was a trace of emotion in his eyes, he hurriedly reached out to pull her, but unexpectedly, his feet were too slippery, and the corners of her wet clothes crossed between his fingers.

Feng Huang saw her thin body burrowing into the hole that was several feet wide, so he just wanted to follow her in.

And at this moment, Wu Tongshan hurriedly knelt on the ground and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "My lord, this can't be helped, if you have three long and two short, Weichen's sin will be great." ”

Feng Huang was about to kick Wu Tongshan who was in the way, but saw that there were big stones mixed with yellow mud rolling down the mountain, the entrance of the cave was sealed again, and the soldier was also injured several people.

His face changed suddenly, and then he ordered, "Continue to clean the hole." ”

A soldier who had just been almost smashed came over and saluted, and said hurriedly: "Lord Ning, look at this rain is getting heavier and heavier, if you stay here any longer, we will be buried here for a while." ”

Feng Huang's face turned pale, and he only reached out and pulled out the knife of the guard next to him, and cut off the man's head at once.

The soldiers next to him were frightened when they saw the bloody man's head rolling down the mountain, and the snow that flowed out was washed away by the heavy rain

Hurriedly took the shovel and continued to dig.

Wu Tongshan originally wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw him kill the soldiers on the spot, he was so frightened that he almost fell, and only viciously ordered those soldiers: "Dig me well, if you dare to slack off, this will be the end." ”

As soon as Yu Zhiyan got into the hole, it was pitch black behind him, and he was afraid that the entrance to the cave would be blocked again.

She shouted to Gu Jue slowly, and the answer to her was always a clear echo, and she felt the wall and walked slowly, because of the collapse, the stones under her feet had cut her shoes.

In a trance, she seemed to kick the candle, and only leaned down to touch it, and she was taking it into her hands for a long time.

She was glad that she had found even the fire fold, and when she lit the short candle, there was finally a glimmer of light in the cave where she couldn't see her fingers.

The candle was very short, and the wax oil kept falling on her hand, burning her skin.

In a trance, she didn't know where she went, but a familiar voice came from a distance, "What are you doing?" ”

Gu Jue's voice was stunned, but then he said in a cold voice: "You can go and stay with Feng Huang now, why bother pretending here, do you still want to leave the reputation of a chaste martyr, do you still want to set up an archway in the future." ”

Yu Zhiyan's enthusiasm for seeing him full of chest was all extinguished at once, her heart was so dry that she couldn't even hold back tears, "I asked you to write a letter of resignation, I'm afraid that I will die in the future and become a ghost of your Gu family." ”

In the dark, I couldn't see Gu Jue's expression clearly, "I have fulfilled you with my life, and you still force me like this." ”

The empty heart seems to be constantly being beaten by someone, and even the traces of burns on the hands don't hurt anymore.

"It turns out that you are such a coward, but I underestimated you before, so I asked you to write a letter of resignation to me personally." Yu Zhiyan said in an angry tone: "It seems that I actually saw the wrong person and married a useless person like you." ”

Yu Zhiyan was really the person who knew Gu Jue best, and this sentence deeply stimulated him, and he said in a cold and ruthless voice: "Yes, why should I die here and let you see the joke in vain." ”

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly walked to the corner where he was sitting, wanting to pass his hand over, but he dodged it.

He stood up and walked straight forward, ignoring the smoke behind him.

But Yu Zheshuang knew that he was waiting for her on purpose, and only took her on the road to a better place. Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, it turned out that at this moment, he still valued her life so much.

Soon the two of them reached the entrance of the cave, but they saw a dappled light shining on the walls from a distance, and the rustling of rain.

Yu Zhiyan didn't think about it, only shouted: "Feng Huang, put down the soft ladder and come down." ”

Gu Jue in front of him heard her call out the name, with a cold look on his face, and a mocking smile outlined at the corner of his lips.

Soon the soft ladder was put down, and Yu Zhiyan blew out the candle in his hand that could not be shorter, and only said: "You go up first, I see that the stone on it is a little loose, but I am afraid that it will fall down." ”

"Okay, you're just here to watch." After he finished speaking, he grabbed the soft ladder and stepped on it and went up.

Yu Zhiyan was relieved at this time, but Feng Huang's nervous voice soon came from above, "Zhenyan, hurry up, the entrance to the cave will be blocked again in a while." ”

When Yu Zhiyan was dragged up, she immediately found Gu Jue's shadow in the heavy rain, but unexpectedly, the torrential rain covered everything, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Feng Huang ordered someone to bring the robe over and wanted to put it on for her, but Yu Zhiyan asked in a nervous voice, "What about him?" ”

Feng Huang, who was wearing a cloak for her, paused slightly, and said in a difficult voice: "He left when he saved you just now, but I'm afraid that he has already gone back." You're all wet, you come back to Taishou Mansion with me—"

Yu Zhiyan didn't listen to his words, but just chased out on the way down the mountain, and in the rainstorm, her thin body looked stubborn and embarrassed.

After she left, Feng Huang murmured slowly: "Your infatuation is really disgusting. ”

But his voice was too low, and the inner blow was scattered in the cold rain, and even Wu Tongshan in front of him couldn't hear it clearly.

When Yu Zhiyan returned home, there was really a light in the house, and when she pushed the door in happily, she saw that in the wet house, Gu Jue was writing something at the table.

Yu Zhiyan walked over, and when she saw the words "Xiushu", she only felt a piercing pain all over her body, she reached out and snatched the piece of paper and tore it apart.

"Didn't you always want this thing, and I will fulfill you today." He stood up and squeezed her shoulders fiercely, shaking her thin body constantly. "Today I will fulfill your family of four, what do you want?"

"Actually, the child in my womb—" Before Yu Zhiyan's words could be finished, he was disrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Soon there was a rush knock on the door, and Gu Jue frowned and went to open the door. The wet wooden door was opened, and a man was seen dressed in a robe

The man stood in front of his house, not like a person from this village.

Gu Jue frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "I am a miscellaneous worker in the Qinglou, and I have met with my master a few times, but it was Mama who asked me to come to you, saying that the girl had to see you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jue's face suddenly changed greatly, "What's wrong with her?" ”

The little guy shook his head, it was enough to say it all.

Yu Zhiyan heard the words of the two of them clearly, she didn't know that the girl in his mouth was Bao Xiao'er, she only thought that she was the person he was good with in the Qinglou.

Seeing that Gu Jue was leaving, she hurriedly said, "I don't allow you to go, Donglang." ”

Gu Jue's footsteps paused slightly, but he still raised his steps and walked outside, his clothes that were originally dripping with water were wet again, and his hair was also wet and sticking to his cheeks, looking so embarrassed.

When the sound of his footsteps completely disappeared into the heavy rain, Yu Zhiyan looked at the small candle flame on the table with tears in his eyes, and the jumping flames became darker and darker, until the darkness completely enveloped Yu Zhiyan.

When Dong Lang braved the torrential rain and rushed to the Qinglou overnight, he saw that the old bustard was coming out of Bao Xiao'er's house, covering his nose with his hands, and his eyes were red.

When he saw Gu Jue, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ye is really a person who values love and righteousness, no wonder this girl has always refused to swallow this breath, just waiting for you to come over." ”

Gu Jue's voice was cold, "Didn't I give you money to treat her, why is she so sick." ”

The old bustard was frightened by his voice, and hurriedly explained: "I took the silver to ask her for a doctor, but this girl refused to be treated, she is bent on death, what can I do." ”

He ignored her, but walked straight into the room, only to see a thin woman lying on the bed in the futon, her little face almost white and transparent.

Gu Jue walked in front of her and held her hand tightly with a cold hand, "Xiao'er, I'm here." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, the tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and there was finally a trace of vitality in the bottom of the eyes, "Young Master, I finally waited for you." ”

He saw that she had already shown the state of her dying, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for a few moments, and he couldn't help but feel like a knife, "Why are you so stupid, I said I would take you out of here." ”

Bao Xiao'er shook her head, "How can such a dirty body serve the young master in the future, and now it's my life." ”

After all, she is the one who has served Gu Jie since she was a child, Gu Jie has always been mean, and she is even harsher to those servants of the Chengguo Mansion, but she is only very kind to Bao Xiao'er, and in private, Gu Jie regards her as her own sister.

Bao Xiao'er saw that his face was full of grief, and she only felt that she was going to die immediately, and she had no regrets in this life.

She stretched out her withered hand under her pillow, then took out a belly pocket and slowly handed it to Gu Jue's hand.

"Young master, the old lady once told the slave maid that she would be your aunt and serve you for the rest of her life." She said bitterly: "But although you treat me well, but there is no love between men and women, you can keep this thing, just take it as a thought, or I have a relationship with the old lady under Jiuquan."

Generation. ”

Gu Jue couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he only slowly tucked the belly pocket into his cuffs.

When he looked at Bao Xiao'er's face again, he saw that her eyes were barren like sand dunes, and she didn't know when she had lost her breath, but the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling like nothing, as if she was content to leave.

Gu Jue put his cold hand on her eyes and slowly closed her eyes, the best maid in the world actually went like this.

The old bustard also came in at this time, and when he saw the woman on the bed who had lost her fragrance, he sighed: "This breath was finally swallowed, and it lasted for a whole day and a night." My coffin has been prepared, and I will use the gold you have given you, although it is not excellent, it can be regarded as a proper way for her to go. ”

*****************

Because of the heavy rain, it was almost impossible to know day and night, and Yu Zhiyan sat in the wet house, only the hungry little tiger was spinning in circles.

Yu Zhiyan thought of countless words, even curses, and even shrewd words to scold the street, but the moment she saw Gu Jue, who was full of wetness, came back, she seemed to choke on a stone in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

The grief in his eyes clearly fell on Yu Zhiyan's eyes, and she only said lightly: "I will give you that clean clothes, you can change them on." ”

Gu Jue's empty eyes did not have a trace of brilliance, and he took off his clothes numbly.

Before Yu Zhiyan took out a set of clean clothes from the cabinet, and before he could walk over and hand it to him, he fell on the wet floor.

She actually saw a woman's belly pocket fall from his cuffs, which was embroidered with a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water, which almost made her feel the despair of being betrayed.

Without thinking about it, she walked over, reached out and picked up the belly pocket, and casually held it in front of the candle, and the dark red flame "stabbed" and rose very high.

The belly pocket, which had been originally satin, was very easy to ignite, and in a moment the room suddenly became bright.

Gu Jue saw that the belly pocket was ignited, and in a hurry, he pushed her away, and then snatched the half-burned belly pocket, and then stepped on it.

Yu Zhiyan, who was pushed away, instinctively protected his lower abdomen with his hands, but his head hit the corner of the table, and he was suddenly dizzy and couldn't stand up for a long time.

Gu Jue hurriedly helped her up, carefully examined the wounds on her body, and hurriedly asked, "I didn't mean to, where did you hurt?" ”

Yu Zhiyan sneered, "This belly pocket is so important to you, I don't know which woman gave you the love thing, I advise you to put it away in the future, so as not to be seen by me." ”

Her voice was full of disdain for this belly pocket, but when she thought of Bao Xiao'er who died, his voice became more and more cold, "What can you do if you see it, a lowly person like you is also worthy of jealousy." ”

It's just a gamble, which almost became the last straw that crushed Yu Zhiyan's reason.

She didn't argue a word, she just stood up and wrapped her things in the cloth, which were nothing more than a few torn shirts.

Gu Jue saw her like this, but she didn't stop her, and when she packed up and wanted to leave, she said in an indifferent voice, "You should have left with him a long time ago, and it's not too late to learn smart." ”

Yu Zhiyan seemed to weigh a thousand pounds while holding the thing in his hand, "Yes, I was really stupid before." ”

***********

Feng Huang returned to the Taishou Mansion, but received a message from a flying pigeon from thousands of miles, and after reading it, his expression became more and more nervous.

It turned out that since he left, the ministers in Beijing had not seen the queen mother and the little emperor for half a month, and even the government was not controlled every day.

And Gu Yinglian only knows how to enjoy luxury, singing and dancing in the harem every day, and does not pay attention to the suffering of those people.

Feng Huang knew that this world was about to change hands, and all the people who were attached to him persuaded him to get rid of Gu Jue immediately.

He also knew that Gu Jue would be able to return to Beijing soon, and he would eventually bring obstacles to himself, but he really wanted to be with this former god of war.

When he was still the prince of Nan'an, he knew that this man was the pride of heaven who was both civil and military, and everyone often compared the two, but only he knew that the first person in the Celestial Empire was only given to him by the emperor for the respect of the royal family.

That Wu Tongshan knew that he was going back to Beijing, so he hurriedly brought a large number of treasures over, and when he saw that the rainstorm outside had stopped, he was busy saying auspicious words, "Wang."

Look, I heard that you have returned to Beijing, and this day the princess knows that he is beautiful. ”

Feng Huang didn't want to pay attention to his boasting, only looked at those jewels indifferently, and only said: "I never like these things outside the body, you only give them back to those people who are hard." ”

Wu Tongshan hurriedly smiled: "The prince is really kind-hearted, and his subordinates admire him very much." ”

However, at this moment, Feng Huang's guards came in, and then said respectfully: "Lord Ning, Mrs. Yu has come over and asked to see you. ”

Hearing this, Wu Tongshan hurriedly got up to say goodbye and left with a smile.

After Yu Zhiyan came in, Feng Huang looked at her pale face, and said, "I'm going to leave in a while, if you have anything in the future, just tell Wu Tongshan." ”

"Are you leaving?" Yu Zhiyan's voice was flat, "I'll leave here with you." ”

When Feng Huang heard this, his face was no longer calm, but he walked in front of her all of a sudden, then grabbed her arm tightly, and said with joy on his face: "You are really willing to leave with me." ”

Yu Zhiyan said half angrily and half desperately, "Since you have a good life to live, why do you have to suffer in this shabby place, it's just that I was originally an exile, and if I lose it, it will cause a big mess?" ”

Feng Huang's hand gradually had a trace of warmth, and he smiled gently, "You stupid girl, this is the most shady place, what is one less person?"

Soon, Wu Tongshan prepared the carriage, and very diligently found a set of good clothes for Yu Zhiyan for her to change into, and then personally took it

The group of them was sent out of the house.

When Yu Zhiyan got into the carriage, she seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, and when she turned around and looked around, there were no ordinary people on the empty roadside.

She even hoped at that moment that Gu Jue would stop her with anger on her face, or scold her, or hold her and not let him leave, but everything was just her wishful thinking, and it seemed that he was completely disappointed in himself.

Yu Zhiyan sat in the carriage, and soon Feng Huang also came up, the two of them were so close that she could almost smell the faint scent of ink on his body.

The carriage soon walked up, gurgling through the mud and struggling, Yu Zhiyan looked at the more and more familiar scenery, and couldn't help but feel a little red in his eyes.

Feng Huang casually pulled down the curtain in front of her, and then said with a smile: "In such a place, what is there to be nostalgic for, a prosperous place like the capital belongs to you." ”
