Chapter 16: The One and Only Thing
The sword light rushed into the gap in the black monster's chest like a galactic influx.
The black monster's body shook at that moment, and the blade he pressed on Xu Han's sword began to tremble, and the force that fell on it gradually faded.
His blood-red eyes glistened with fear and disbelief, and his head slowly lowered to look at his chest.
There was a huge hole blasted by the sword light, and a viscous liquid like magma poured out of it, down his body, and finally fell to the ground, this time the magma did not turn into scorpions again, but as if it had been watered with cold water, it gradually extinguished and turned into black things, solidifying together.
"How?" the black monster muttered to himself, but before he could finish his words, the blood light in his eyes suddenly went out, and his entire body turned into a pitch-black sculpture at that moment, and there was no more life.
"This..."Xu Han didn't expect this monster that couldn't be killed no matter what, and he was defeated like this, which was somewhat unexpected by him.
But the next moment, the black monster that had turned into a statue suddenly let out a loud noise, and his black body exploded at that moment. His body turned into a black stone and was torn apart, Xuan'er was quick and dodged with a dodge, but Xu Han was not so lucky, there was a wolf king who had lost his mobility behind him, he had to grit his teeth and summon the sword intent in his body, and shatter all the flying stones, so that he could escape this catastrophe.
Xu Han put away his sword and returned it to the sheath with palpitations, he looked at the rubble scattered around him, this was really relieved, and he was about to get up to check the appreciation of the wolf king behind him.
"Meow!" Xuan'er, who had turned into an ordinary size, let out a shout and jumped into his arms.
"It's okay. Xu Han comforted Xuan'er, but suddenly found that Xuan'er was holding a red stone in his mouth.
"What is this?" Xu Han took out the stone from Xuan'er's mouth and put it in front of him to take a closer look, but found that this so-called stone, the whole body was crystal clear, shining with a strange light under the morning sun, and it seemed to reveal a faint energy fluctuation.
"Did you find it from that monster?" asked Xu Han.
"Meow?" Xuan'er tilted her head, not knowing why.
......
Jinling City of Chenguo.
After months of fierce fighting, the Xia soldiers finally retreated.
The people of Chen State, who had spent half a year worriedly, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the people praised the Meng Wangye, today is the day of Meng Ke's return to the dynasty, and the people in Jinling City spontaneously set up a team at the city gate early, ready to welcome the Meng Wangye who saved the people from fire and water.
"Why don't you give up?" The purple-eyed girl sitting next to the tea stall looked at the Fang Ziyu who was drinking tea with her head down, and asked angrily.
She didn't like Jianling, and she didn't like the guy named Meng Liang. But in the bottom of his heart, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for that idiot, in order to save Fang Ziyu, that guy left no room for anything, not only agreed to go to the Southern Wilderness to guard the mausoleum, but also made her not say a word about this matter, just because she didn't want Fang Ziyu to feel guilty.
"Hey, this place in Jianling, why are they such stupid people. Thinking of this, the purple-eyed girl couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Fang Ziyu finally raised his head when he heard this, "Today, Meng Ke returns to the court, Chen Xuanji will definitely come out to greet him, I have to ask him personally, otherwise I can't be reconciled." β
"Everyone has a queen, and you are the king of a country, how can you fall in love with you?" Maybe it's because of Meng Liang, or maybe it's because the purple-eyed girl has always been like this, and the tone of her words at this moment is somewhat scathing.
Hearing this, Fang Ziyu's pretty face couldn't help but have a hint of loneliness.
Her head lowered again, but her fingers gripped the teacup in front of her, and she muttered, "I don't believe he would do this to me, I don't believe it..."
"Hmph, my mind is full of Chen Xuanji, what about Meng Liang, why did you forget?" Seeing her like this, the purple-eyed girl suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in her heart, and couldn't help but speak.
"Didn't the surnamed Meng recuperate from his injuries in the Sword Tomb?" Fang Ziyu looked at the purple-eyed girl a little strangely, quite puzzled.
"Hmph, recuperate, that place in the Sword Tomb..."The purple-eyed girl sneered, and was about to say something.
Smack!
But at that time, there was a burst of firecrackers at the head of the city, accompanied by the people shouting like a tsunami: "Welcome to the triumph of the prince!"
"Hello to the prince!"
"Thank you, Lord Meng!"
The purple-eyed girl's words were interrupted, and Fang Ziyu also looked sideways in the direction of the city gate at that time, only to see a group of soldiers in armor walking into the bustling Jinling City from the direction of the city gate. The leader sat on a red horse, about forty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the outline of his face was like a knife, and it was vaguely visible that he was a little similar to Meng Liang.
Without thinking about it, Fang Ziyu also guessed that this person was the Chen King Master Meng Ke who had been rumored to be miraculous by the people of Jinling City recently!
From the sincere smiles on the faces of these people at this moment, as well as the various foods they served, it is not difficult to see how this Meng Wang Ye won the hearts of the people in Chen State.
"The saint has arrived!" At this time, a treacherous voice suddenly sounded behind him, and the crowd of people who surrounded Meng Liang and congratulated him loudly pushed away one after another, and Fang Ziyu's body was also shocked, and he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
The purple-eyed girl has been taking her to Jinling City for several months, but now Chen Xuanji is no longer the senior brother of the Linglong Pavilion back then, how can the emperor who lives in the Changle Palace be able to see what she Fang Ziyu wants?
After several months of Panheng, she finally waited for the opportunity for Meng Ke to return to the dynasty and Chen Xuanji personally greeted her.
She thought that she should be very happy at this time, and finally be able to meet the stupid man surnamed Chen, but in fact, at this time, she had a fear in her heart, a fear of wanting to turn her head and leave.
Linglong Pavilion has long been unable to go back, and the news that came a few days ago that Xu Han has also died, and even Meng Liang has disappeared.
She didn't know where she could go or where she should go.
If Chen Xuanji doesn't want her, if all this is not his trouble, then how should she live.
This is not because Fang Ziyu is cowardly.
It's just that the first half of her life was really too comfortable, and no matter what the situation, there are always people who are willing to shelter her from the wind and rain.
And now that these people are gone, she can't help but feel uncomfortable and confused.
It's a necessary throes of growth, and it's true for everyone.
Only by tearing apart the paradise that some people have constructed for you and seeing the cruelty of the world will you have the courage to face the real world.
Therefore, Fang Ziyu did not run away after all, she stood up and straightened her waist, she wanted him to be able to see her at the first time, give her a hug, or a loud slap.
In this way, she was able to wake up from the sweet dreams of these years.
......
In the distance, the emperor's procession finally approached slowly.
The guards of hundreds of people, the gilded carriages, and the flags made of splendid embroidery all showed the majesty of the monarch of Chen State.
If it were in the past, Fang Ziyu would have to raise his head and say: "The stupid guy with my surname Chen is amazing." β
But now, she couldn't say such a thing.
Because above the dragon royal palace, there is not only Chen Xuanji, who she misses, but also a woman who is as beautiful as a flower, wearing a phoenix crown and a feather robe. The demeanor of the two is intimate, and their eyebrows are affectionate, which can be described as envious of others.
Fang Ziyu's body began to tremble.
Of course, she expected such a scene, but when it appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but tremble.
According to the plan, she should shout at this time to let him see her and let him tell himself why this is happening.
But at this moment, she lost the last bit of courage.
She watched in a daze as the carriage carrying the two of them passed by her, but her throat seemed to be filled with molten iron, and she couldn't make a sound.
At that time, Chen Xuanji, who was enjoying the cheers of the people, suddenly turned his head, he waved to the people with a smile, but his eyes inadvertently saw Fang Ziyu in the crowd.
"Chen..."The long-lost look at each other made Fang Ziyu have some courage, and she opened her mouth to say something to the other party.
But Chen Xuanji's gaze only paused on her body for less than a breath, and the next moment he turned his head and continued to wave to the crowd, with a bright smile on his face, as if he had never seen Fang Ziyu.
But Fang Ziyu knew that he did see her.
"Your Majesty, who is that?"
"I don't know, it's just ordinary people. And the conversation in the carriage from afar confirms this.
Fang Ziyu's head roared, and she stood in place.
"How is it? are you satisfied?" The purple-eyed girl who witnessed all this stepped forward and said quietly.
The purple-eyed girl who promised Meng Liang to accompany Fang Ziyu didn't like this girl too much, in her eyes, Fang Ziyu was really too cowardly and naΓ―ve.
She thought that Fang Ziyu's temperament should be crying at this moment, but what she didn't want was that after Fang Ziyu heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Thank you for staying with me for so long. Fang Ziyu said this, his head turned at that time, and he looked at the purple-eyed girl.
I don't know if her reaction was unexpected by the purple-eyed girl, or if her tone was too sincere, the purple-eyed girl was stunned at that time and didn't respond to her immediately.
"Senior, are you willing to do me another favor?" Fang Ziyu didn't pay attention to the purple-eyed girl's strange appearance and asked again.
"What?"
"I want to be strong. β
"Huh?"
"I want to be strong and protect everyone, not be protected by them again and again. β
"I want to revive the Linglong Pavilion, I want to avenge the surname Xu, and I want to go and get the surname Meng out of the Sword Tomb..."
"This is what I owe them. The girl looked straight at the purple-eyed girl and said word by word.
The purple-eyed girl was stunned again, she suddenly woke up, maybe the girl in front of her understood everything Meng Liang had done for her, and she also knew some clues about what happened in Chang'an.
She just didn't want to face it.
And now, the world is finally clearly presented in front of her, and she has no way to retreat, but to move forward alone.
"It's difficult, you need to be conscious. β
"That's the only thing I have right now. β
