Chapter Seventy-Six: The Seven-Day Covenant
The clear night sky, the restlessness of the squirrel. Julong slept on the marble slab, surrounded by worried Huaxu people. Everyone probed their heads and looked at Mr. Singing for His Majesty Long.
"What's wrong? Is Your Majesty seriously injured? A middle-aged woman asked with concern.
Mr. Singer stood up slowly, grimacing. He said slowly, "You take a few steps back. Your Majesty needs fresh air. ”
Everyone hurriedly retreated, and Houtu whispered in Mr. Song's ear: "What is your majesty?" ”
"It's fine."
"What about Gaoyang Wang Ji?" Houtu glanced around, "I haven't found her since there was something wrong with the barrier. ”
"She's fine!" Mr. Singer said impatiently, "I will give your majesty an explanation." You don't have to worry. Take them back first. I will wake up here while Your Majesty wakes up. ”
"No!" A young man suddenly jumped out, "We're definitely not going to go first!" If you have to wait, we will wait for Your Majesty to wake up together! Do you think so? ”
"Yes!" There was a chorus of responses from the crowd.
Houtu also said very understandingly: "Everyone is worried about Your Majesty, and if they let them go back, they will only feel uneasy." ”
Mr. Song insisted on letting Houtu take them away first, but everyone insisted on staying here. At this moment, Julong began to move and gradually woke up.
"Your Majesty?" Mr. Singer asked urgently, "Do you feel better?" ”
Julong sat up while covering his head, looked around, and suddenly said, "What happened?" ”
"In accordance with His Majesty's instructions when he left, I led people to be stationed in all directions of the bird country. No one was seen attacking them. I thought it was a false alarm, but I saw the old gentleman come back with his seriously injured majesty. We were stunned. Houtu replied.
Julong fell his eyes on the old gentleman who sang the song, and suddenly remembered the picture of seeing Yi Yu being taken away by the colorful phoenix army before he passed out. He jumped up straight, grabbed the placket of the old gentleman who sang the song, and shouted, "Old man! What about rumors? ”
"The old man doesn't know what His Majesty is talking about."
"Less nonsense! You don't know what I'm talking about? If it weren't for you, I would have rescued Yi Yu from the Colorful Phoenix Army by now! ”
"Colorful Phoenix Army?" The crowd suddenly exploded, and everyone began to talk about it. They never thought that the Yellow Emperor would actually reappear in the rivers and lakes, and also sent his most elite colorful phoenix army. But Julong didn't care what they were thinking at all, he just glared at the old gentleman who sang the song viciously, and it was impossible for Houtu to separate the two of them.
"Say!" Julong roared angrily, and the surrounding thousand-year-old trees suddenly swayed wildly.
The old gentleman who sang the song said without humility or arrogance: "If it wasn't for the old man taking you away at that time, not to mention whether you could rescue her, I am afraid that she would be taken away by the Colorful Phoenix Army with her!" ”
Julong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Even if I am taken away, I am willing!" Compared to now, I don't know if the rumor is alive or dead! Even if I am taken away, I will be with Yiyu and protect her! I'm being brought back by you alone, how can you make me feel at ease? ”
"If you go with her, you will only die tragically at the hands of the Yellow Emperor!" Mr. Singer accentuated his tone, "Have you ever thought about us? Have you ever thought about these Huaxu subjects who are waiting by your side, insisting on waiting for you to wake up before you can feel at ease? If you follow Gaoyang Wang Ji away, you will be relieved, but what about us? Who can reassure these people who worry about you day and night? Julong, you are our lord! ”
Julong gradually let go of his hand, looking at the people who were surrounded by him, all with cramped and uneasy faces, and the bottomless pit of emptiness in his heart was getting bigger and deeper. It seems like an abyss that never ends. Julong said apologetically, "I'm sorry. ”
"Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, you are our good Majesty!" The young man shouted, and the crowd began to echo the chorus. Julong smiled bitterly.
Another middle-aged farmer said, "Your Majesty, we know that it is not easy for you, and we also know that everything you do is for our good. We don't want to see Your Majesty frowning, in fact, Your Majesty, as long as you say a word, we will know what to do! Although we are just ordinary people and don't understand your heaven and earth, we also have hands and feet, and we can still afford hoes and sickles! It doesn't matter if he is from the Yellow Emperor, or from Emperor Yan and Emperor Yan, we will see one kill one, and see two kill a pair! Whoever dares to bully us, we will let him go and never return! ”
"That's right! Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about us! ”
"We Terrans also have ways for our Terrans to defend themselves!"
"Your Majesty, we are not afraid of death!"
"For Your Majesty, for Hua Xu, for our family, we are dead!"
The impassioned voice in the crowd echoed in Julong's ears and Julong's heart for a long time. This is his subjects, this is his responsibility. Can he really let go of everything here and follow the rumors? Is he willing? Julong looked at them, there were old women who were over half a hundred years old, young orphans who lost their fathers and mothers, widows who were old and young, and those soldiers who once saved their lives on the battlefield but were mutilated...... How do these people protect themselves, and how do they compete with the Yellow Emperor and Zhuan?
"Open your eyes and feel the feelings. Could it be that in your eyes, in your heart, there is only Gao Yang Yiyu, that girl? ”
"In short, no matter what, I will not leave the people of Huaxu and ignore them. You are my family, an integral part of my life force. Without you, there would be no me. I'm sorry for my attitude towards you all these years! If it's not me, you don't have to hide here. I can't see the light of day, and I can't go back to my home. Even the wife ...... separated."
Julong humbly bowed and said, "At the same time, I can't give up on my beloved. If he can't even protect the people he loves, how can he protect a country? I'm not such a person, and I'm sure you don't want to see my Julong look cowardly! I won't. So I can't give up on rumors! In my hardest and darkest days, she never gave up on me, brought me laughter and laughter, and I had to watch her be safe and happy!
"Even in the end, her happiness is something I can't give. But I will also dedicate my life to making it happen! Therefore, I ask you to ......" Julong said and suddenly fell to his knees, so shocked that everyone followed and knelt down. Ju Long held his head high and said, "Please give me the last seven days. Seven days for me to rescue Yiyu and take her home. Let me protect you and our home without any worries! ”
"Your Majesty!" The old gentleman who sang the song was still unwilling to persuade hard, "Your Majesty can't kneel down and beg for that girl in Gaoyang!" Not who you are. Gao Yang is not worthy of the rumors! Your Majesty, how can you forget that you are your father-killing enemy! It was Zhuan Xuan who killed Shao Hao! ”
"Old gentleman." Julong looked at the old gentleman who sang the song resolutely, "I can't forget, and Shao Hao is the father-killing enemy of how many people here?" Is it yours? Yours...... I can't forget that it was Shaohao who made them homeless, and it was Shaohao's hands that were stained with the blood of the innocent people here. Now that he has killed Shao Hao, he is avenging our Hua Xu! If there are still people who feel that the hatred in their hearts cannot be eliminated because of this, I, as the son of Shao Hao, will be at your disposal! ”
"Old man...... That's not what the old man meant......"
"Your Majesty!" Houtu clasped his hands into fists and said, "For seven days, we are here waiting for your return." ”
"Wait for His Majesty to return!" The surrounding people knocked on the prime minister's words one after another.
Julong burst into tears and kowtowed to them three times in succession.
Seeing that he couldn't resist everyone, the old gentleman had to sigh and say, "Your Majesty...... Everything, your safety first......"
Julong helped the old gentleman who sang the song and motioned for everyone to get up. "Thank you for taking care of them for me." Ju Long smiled and patted the old gentleman on the shoulder, turned around and was about to leave. The old gentleman who sang the song suddenly stopped Julong again, "There are some things that the old man wants to advise." ”
Julong looked at the old gentleman singing in confusion, but the old gentleman motioned for Julong to come to a quieter place on the side.
"Anything else?"
"Regarding what happened just now, the old man feels that he has an obligation to return to His Majesty."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Since His Majesty left to inspect the barrier, Gao Yang suddenly received a paper kite. After reading it, he flashed and left. The old man suddenly felt that there was a deception, so he followed away. It turns out that Gao Yang is secretly meeting with a mysterious person according to rumors. The old man fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually the leader of the witch clan in the great wilderness, the king of demon Qi. ”
Julong frowned and looked at the old gentleman, and Mr. Song continued to say to himself, "The old man saw that the two of them behaved ambiguously and spoke frivolously. I really couldn't see it, so I took action and fought against the Demon Qi King. Gao Yang rumored that the old man had seen through her true face and asked the Demon Qi King to kill the old man. also blamed the old man for underestimating Gao Yang's ability and being injured. Fortunately, His Majesty suddenly appeared and let the old man out of danger. ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old man's words are not to prevent His Majesty from going to rescue Gao Yangyi. I just want Your Majesty to know what kind of person Gao Yang Yiyu is! Don't be taken advantage of anymore. ”
Julong raised his hand to stop the old gentleman's words. In my mind, I couldn't help but remember that I arrived at that time, and I saw Langya hugging and clinging to the rumors. Yi Yu also clung to his arms. Julong forced himself to shake off the unbelievable picture in his mind, and went straight out of the enchantment to summon Haruki.
According to the rumors and Langya, Julong has not thought about it. However, it is only one-sided Langya in hot pursuit. The heart of the rumor is always towards itself. "It should be Bai Yiling who is making trouble! Unexpectedly, Shennong Ding's blow couldn't disperse her vitality, and she still had the power to dominate the rumors. Julong urged Haruki to speed up. But no matter what, the rumor is her own rumor, and no one can bring her the happiest happiness except for him!
