Chapter 206: The Dust Settles (Part II Finale)
She looked at the whole garden and sneered: "You dog men and women are happy and happy, and you don't invite me, an old man, to come over for a wedding drink, then I can only come uninvited." β
Beiyu Jinchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold murderous aura permeated from his body.
"Last time I was lucky enough to let you escape, today is your death, if you have anything to say, leave it to the underworld to talk to your Zhang family." Jibei deliberately blocked in front of Xiying, and Xiying's gaze softened by three points when he looked at him.
Xu was poked in the sore spot, she gasped for two quick breaths, and quickly adjusted, walking leisurely.
"How much better can Liu Sujin be than me? It's a joke that all of his relatives died at the hands of his loved ones, he was deceived for half his life, and he was obsessed with joining hands for a lifetime. β
Familiar images flashed back to my mind, blood-drenched dreams.
Attacking the heart, she is smart.
"You are the real joke, if it weren't for your obsession to marry the prince, your Zhang family would not have been wiped out." The red sleeves' timbre suddenly turned cold, and he didn't have his usual gentle appearance at all.
A dart with a red strap flew out of her sleeve, but fortunately Red Sleeve did some work, but narrowly scratched her sideburns.
The guards behind her scattered on all sides, fighting each other, and the sound of iron grinding was very clear in the night.
The rough sound of the sword piercing through our clothes, the subtle sound of its insertion into the abdominal cavity, we only brought five or six guards with us on this trip, and they were nearly thirty men.
I ripped the white veil off my head, looked clearly, and picked up the sword that had fallen from the sacrificial guard.
He grabbed my wrist, his eyes as gentle as ever, yet firm. "Don't be afraid, no matter what, I will protect you."
I reached out and wiped the blood off his face, the dark blood on top of his fair complexion, as if it was a special tattoo with a strong aura.
Raising his wrist and turning his arm, he struck sideways, and the tip of the sword pierced the heart of the dark guard behind him, and in the dark guard's hand was a sharp cold knife that was only an inch away from his back heart.
He smiled slightly, and the corners of his lips were stained with blood. "It seems that I underestimated you."
"When these people are finished, I will compete with you, and you may not win me." As he spoke, he took me into his arms, dodging the bloody meniscus knife in Su Rong's hand, but his wrist had already been cut to block the knife.
Without the slightest pity, his long sword passed by his side, slicing through the cold air and bringing a swishing sword wind.
She struggled to dodge, and a few strands of hair were cut off by the sword qi and fell into the snow, and even her right cheek had a finger-long wound, and blood flowed out.
Su Rong stroked the right side of her face with some distraction, and said with a wry smile: "You have never felt any pity for me. β
He hugged me tighter, his voice not just cold, but with an endless murderous aura. "I can't wait to kill it."
Suddenly, his eyebrows hurt, and a lot of voices appeared in his head, including Su Rong and many familiar people.
I inhaled like a drowning man. The memories that rushed in rushed in stirred up the pain in all the limbs.
"Jin'er?" He sensed that my body was too weak to support, and he panicked.
In the blur, I saw her fierce eyes, and the knife went straight to his neck.
I don't know where the strength came from, I pushed him away, and I didn't see it clearly, and stabbed with all my might.
I heard a whimper in my throat, gurgling, I don't know if I was hallucinating or not, I just felt the scarlet liquid flowing from her end down the body of the sword into my palm, scorching, fishy.
As my eyes cleared, she was right in front of me, with a sword stuck in the center of her throat.
She looked at me in disbelief, and I was startled and let go of my hand and took a few steps back, my hand still shaking slightly.
He took my hand, blood staining his hands red.
He frowned and asked me, "Did it hurt you?" β
I still looked at her, but she suddenly smiled, with tears in her eyes, and her gaze was not on me, but on him.
The moonlight and candlelight soften the night, and the eyes of the beauty in red gradually widen their pupils.
I didn't understand the meaning of her smile, which seemed to be relieved, like self-deprecation, and like resentment.
When she fell to the ground, her eyes were still open, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye into her hair and disappeared.
He hadn't looked at her the whole time.
There was silence all around, and the sound of wheezing was unusually clear.
Except for Jibei, Xiying, and the injured Ruofei, there were only four or five men and women of the Luyao clan left, as well as two children, and all the guards we brought from the palace were almost wiped out.
But those masked guards were all casualties.
I slackened and let out a long breath.
"I want to go home."
He helped me wipe the blood from my forehead and eyebrows, and replied softly, "Okay." β
"Mother, I have a bug on me." One of the children opened his mouth timidly, with a crying voice.
Sure enough, there was a flying insect with a brown shell on his body, and the strange insect was flashing red all over.
Beiyu Jinchen's face froze, "Don't move it!" It's a poisonous Gu! β
He quickly got up and wanted to drive away with the sword wind, but the child seemed to be enchanted, and did not listen to the dissuasion, and touched it with his hand.
In an instant, it began to turn black from the fingertips, spread to the whole body, and the insects also turned into powder.
Before he could get over, the child had already turned into a straight corpse.
I've never seen it so poisonous, cold sweat coming out of my palms and slippering between my fingers.
"What is this......" muttered, but there was a chill on my neck, and I couldn't turn back, but I could feel a sharp knife or dagger against me.
"Shouldn't you be familiar with it? Girl. β
This voice caused a thousand ripples in my mind, and all kinds of memories surfaced.
His throat was already dry and hoarse, and he asked tentatively, "Xiao Ling?" β
The blade pressed closer to the ground, and a slight pain came. If I remember correctly, Xiao Ling should have been a more beautiful and bewitching man than a woman, but I saw that it was not Xiao Ling's white and slender fingers that grabbed my shoulders, but like dry tree bark, covered with meridians.
Beiyu Jinchen wanted to come over, but the force on Xiao Ling's hand increased by one point, as a warning to him to keep his distance, and I, completely restrained, couldn't move.
"Regent, this dagger in my hand is highly poisonous, and if you get any closer, she will die here tonight."
"Xiao Ling?" Beiyu Jinchen also hesitated a little, and didn't seem to dare to confirm it.
I turned my head slightly, and saw a terrified side face, the skin on the face seemed to have been scalded by boiling water, all twisted together, the eye sockets protruded, and the eyes were cloudy and bloodshot.
How did he become like this......
"What? Surprised by my looks? His voice was as deep as ever, completely out of touch with the face.
"You put Jin'er, whatever you want, I can exchange it with you."
"Swap? I want my Yu'er back, can you get it? Xiao Ling was almost hysterical.
"Yu'er's death has nothing to do with her, it was caused by me, you want to take revenge on me and let her go."
Bang - he threw the sword in his hand to the ground, the last time I saw him in such a panic, it seemed that it was when I accidentally fell into the water in Nanjing.
I don't want to be his burden and weakness, the more he cares about me, I know, and Xiao Ling will not let me go.
"Neither of you can escape the relationship!" Xiao Ling roared angrily, a delirious madman.
I smiled and said, "You ask yourself, can you be innocent?" Even if she died, it would be better than spending the rest of her life with you against your will. β
"Shut up!" His hand grabbing my shoulder almost crushed my bones, I didn't dare to show pain, I was afraid that Beiyu Jinchen would rush up desperately, and both would lose when the time came.
"If you let Jin'er go, I will treat today's incident as if it never happened, and your Buyun Palace can be safe." He tried to get close to me, but he was afraid that Xiao Ling would hurt me, so he was at a stalemate.
"Hahahaha." Xiao Ling smiled, her voice hoarse. "Buyun Palace has long been dead, I have taken everything in for today, I want Liu Sujin to pay for his blood debt!"
A golden insect came out of his cuff, and I could only purse my lips as I watched it crawl to my lips.
"This little thing has been raised with my blood for a year, and once it gets into a person's mouth, it is a stone medicine without a cure. You will gradually lose your hearing, your senses of touch, your sense of taste, your sight, and by the dawn of tomorrow, when the first rays of light rise, you will be reduced to ashes, and there will be no corpse left. He was triumphant, and the flying insect had crawled to my lips.
"Wait." Beiyu Jinchen's voice calmed down a lot. He said, "Don't you want her to suffer, I'll eat for her." β
I froze and looked at him, but he stopped looking at me.
"Great idea! She cares about you so much, and if you die, then she will be in pain a thousand, ten thousand times,"
In an instant, the flying insects had left my lips and teeth and flew into his hands.
"Nope! Beiyu Jinchen, I beg you. β
My whole body was shaking, and I tried to rush over, but I was pinned down and couldn't move at all.
I can't just watch like that...... I can't......
Xiao Ling pinched my chin and smiled: "Take a good look and see clearly, how he died for you." β
He swallowed it like that, without hesitation, and never looked at me.
Until he swallowed the Gu worm, Xiao Ling let go of his hand with a smile, and then fell to his knees and never got up again.
I couldn't move, my blood was frozen in one place, and his hair turned into silver in that instant, and he was dressed in white, with only reddish lips.
Fluttering snow fell between his brows, eyelashes.
He came over and rubbed my hair as usual, and he said, "Jin'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." β
I tried to suppress my crying and smiled and said to him, "You didn't eat it, did you?" Are you hiding in your sleeve, are you not swallowing, are you ......?"
He hugged me and didn't say another word.
"What about Xiuxiu, what about Xiuxiu, let's go back quickly, can we call Xiuxiu?" I pulled him to leave, and I saw the warblers again, and they were in tears.
"What are you crying about? There must be a way. β
It turned out that my voice was no longer sounding.
"Jin'er." He pressed my shoulders and forced me to look him in the face. "Jibei will take you back to Daiguo, the Holy Intention is ......in the hands of Miss Xiu," he said, but his eyes lost focus, and I reached out and shook it, but there was no response.
Tears overflowed my eyes, and I didn't dare to cry, I didn't dare to let him hear them.
His brocade can't cry......
I hugged him tightly, my head resting on his heart, and the sound of my heart beating became weaker and weaker.
His voice stopped, and after a long sigh, he took off his coat, and because he could not see it, he could only fumble and cover my back. "Is it cold or not?"
"We haven't worshiped heaven and earth yet." His voice was thick and nasal, and although he knew he couldn't see it, he still tried to laugh, even if the tears flowed into his mouth, he didn't dare to taste the bitterness in it.
"Okay."
The white candle was replaced by a red candle, and Ji Bei shouted: "Worship heaven and earth-"
"The Second Worship Hallβ"
"Husband and wife worship each otherβ"
I drank a glass of wine and wiped away my tears. Cleared his throat and took his hand.
"One wishes Langjun is a thousand years old, and the second wishes that the concubine is always in ......"
He smiled and replied: "The three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, and they will see each other every year......
See you year after year......
The snow was getting heavier and heavier outside, and he was in my arms, his body temperature getting lower and lower.
I babbled and told him: "You used to say that you wanted a daughter, so let's have two in the future, the son follows you to learn martial arts, and the daughter follows me to learn dance, and we don't go anywhere, just build a house in the mountains......"
He held my hand much harder, and when I called his name, he didn't answer.
He couldn't hear me anymore......
I wiped my tears and tried to continue, but he spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Jin'er...... Take care of yourself and don't worry me. β
I couldn't hold back the cry anymore, I knew he couldn't hear it, I couldn't see it, but I couldn't make him worry.
It turned out that the fortune teller said that I was destined to be a lone star. It's true, none of the people who are close to me end well.
This is true for my mother, this is true for my mother, and it is also like this for my husband.
"Jinchen, Red Sleeves told me that you like Yuntang the most, she said, the first time you saw me, it was because I was eating Yuntang, so you like to eat Yuntang the most. When I go back tomorrow, I'll make it for you, okay? Well? β
"I also took in a little female cat in Nanyidian, and there will be a litter of kittens in a few months, will you take care of them with me?"
"You haven't shown me the portraits you have drawn, do you remember what you said you were going to show me?"
"You said you would always be with my ......"
"What am I going to do...... What should I do without you, I don't know anyone, Daiguo is so big, I'll get lost. When it thunders and rains, no one accompanies me......"
I don't know how long I talked until I couldn't make a sound.
Light from outside the window is refracted in......
It's dawn......
I was holding his hand, but there was nothing, not even the ashes.
Everything disappeared as if he didn't exist at all.
There was a silver bell locket on the ground, exactly like the one I wore around my waist, something that was supposed to be buried deep in the morning after the exchange.
I picked it up and opened it.
The familiar handwriting is written in a small line: "May my wife be a hundred years old and worry-free." β
May my wife be 100 years old and worry-free......
If you don't have you, how can you worry?
I fell to the ground, feeling the only little bit of warmth.
"Sujin ......"
It seems like the warbler is calling me?
"Shhhhh
I closed my eyes, and in a trance, I saw his handsome face again, smiled slightly, and said, "Jin'er, I'll take you home." β
Okay, let's go home.
