Chapter 720: Peony's Confession
Of the six Heavenly Venerables, four have already agreed, and the remaining two naturally agreed. No one was doubting whether the Night Curtain Heavenly Venerable was killed by Ning Yue, and even if it wasn't, it had to be! After getting everyone's consent, a smile appeared on the Dharma King's face. Although others couldn't see it, His Holiness was in a better mood.
"In that case, all of you should go down the mountain, and when Allah's troops assemble and set out for the battle, clear the scouts of the Great Zhou, and ensure that Allah's army will come to the Sheep's Head without the Great Zhou God knowing.
We went to war, but the fighters were dominated by Allah. We are only martial artists, fighting or Allah is more professional than us. Whatever Allah has sent, you must observe and do not excuse it for any reason. Now that we have joined the war, we must be wholehearted, and today's Great Zhou is far stronger than we imagined. If the war drags on for a long time, it will be very bad for us. ”
"Yes!"
The vast grass swayed slightly in the breeze, and the grass was mixed with bright flowers. A group of carefree children, running and chasing in the grass. Looking at their smiling faces, a smile appeared on Peony's face as well.
Peony left the Orizuki tribe, and she walked the grasslands as a physician. In the grasslands, a place with a high mortality rate, physicians are undoubtedly a respected profession. What's more, the medical skills of peony are so superb that even in the Central Plains, it can be called a miracle doctor, and it will naturally become a myth when it comes to the grassland.
Gradually, the fame of peony also spread in the west. When they were seriously ill, they used to carry it to death, and people who couldn't bear it and waited for death began to have no such strong fear of disease. For none of them who have been healed by the peony have died. Because of this, peony has also received the title of the flower of life.
"Ahh Peony, who was looking for herbs in the grass, hurriedly threw down the medicine basket, and her figure flashed like lightning and shot away at the place where the sound came from.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl ran screaming with her ears covered, and because her eyes were closed, she hit Peony's body straight away.
"Aido, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?"
Hearing the gentle voice of the peony, Aiduo opened his eyes hesitantly, "Dead people, there are dead people, a dead man floated down from the upper reaches of the Ame River......"
It is located near the headwaters of the River Aim, and further west it is beyond the boundaries of the steppe. To the south is the endless desert, and in this remote area, no one thought that there would be such a beautiful ideal township.
The people who live here have never experienced war or suffering, so the little girl of Adoror was frightened when she saw a dead man floating in the river. If you are a child in the war zone, let alone twelve or thirteen years old, even if you are only seven or eight years old, you can treat it as if you don't see a dead person.
"Where?" asked Peony subconsciously.
"Over there, on the riverbank over there—"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of Peony had disappeared. This is a tributary of the River Ame, so the current is not fast and the water is not deep. On the bank of the river, with a flicker, a figure has appeared.
Peony's eyes searched casually, and sure enough, she saw the dead man in Aiduo's mouth for the first time. This is supposed to have been washed down from the upper reaches of the Ame River, lying on the bank of the river with no visible face. Peony's figure flashed, came to the side of the figure, carefully bent down, and gently turned him open.
The eyes that were originally indifferent were instantly rounded. The pupils in the orbits suddenly contracted violently. The person in front of him, how many times did he appear in Peony's dreams, and how many times did Peony make Peony shy in the morning.
But why...... Why is the goodbye scene so cruel. At that moment, Peony's mind went blank, and at that moment, Peony only felt that her soul had left her body. At that moment, the peony suddenly trembled, as pitiful as a bird frozen in the wind.
"Childe, Ning Gongzi...... How could this be? How could it be ......" Peony's eyes were dilated, her lips trembled, and she couldn't even say a word. The appearance of panic and helplessness, where is there still the slightest appearance of being a miracle doctor.
Peony stretched out her fingers tremblingly, gently stroking Ning Yue's pulse, and after a long time, tears instantly burst out of her eyes like a river bursting from the embankment. No pulse, no breathing, dead...... Her Ning Gongzi died......
But why? Why is this happening? Peony can't accept it, can't accept that Jiangnan will say goodbye to them forever. For herself, in order to find herself, Ning Yue traveled thousands of miles from Jiangnan to the grassland.
What did he come for? Not to find himself, not to take him home. However, he avoided it because of his anger and willfulness. Now I see him, but I can no longer see his gentle smile like sunshine. Now that I saw it, I couldn't hear Ning Yue's laughter indifferently as if she had seen through the red dust.
There was the sound of footsteps behind them, and the children hesitated and walked over. But no one dared to speak, and they watched from such a distance, suspiciously, as their peony sister lay on the dead man's chest and wept sadly. It's like a child being robbed of his favorite toy, sad and desperate.
If tears can save everything, then Peony would rather let her tears flow backwards. If regret can change everything, Peony is willing to eat all the bitter fruits of regret. However, neither, it cannot be changed if it has already happened, and those who have died cannot be resurrected.
Peony is a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor of the flesh and bones of the living dead, but no matter how powerful the miracle doctor is, he can't do two limits, immortality and resurrection.
The crying gradually put away, because Peony knew that it was useless to cry. She lay quietly on Ning Yue's chest, just like she had dreamed of countless nights. She wanted to have a good talk with Ning Yue, and say everything she could and couldn't say.
"Young Master Ning, Peony shouldn't go...... Peony is wrong, Peony shouldn't have returned to the grassland so willfully. Peony grew up in the Central Plains, and should stay in the Central Plains even if she is a lady's maid for a lifetime, even if she calls you uncle for the rest of her life.
Back then, Peony didn't die, but Peony remembered what she had forgotten before. Peony's parents, clansmen, and sister are all dead, but Peony has forgotten them all for ten years. Peony wanted to worship them when she remembered it, really, Peony didn't mean to leave......
After worshipping the family, the peony should actually return to the Central Plains, return to Guiyue Palace, and return to you. How much Peony loves you, maybe you don't know...... However, after Peony left Jiangnan for the first time, she already regarded you as my husband.
Miss once said that she completed the marriage contract with you in order to understand the knot in her heart and cut off the red dust. When Hongchen is completely cut off, she will break off the marriage contract with you. This is what she said to Peony herself, and Peony has always believed in it......
Miss is so amazing, she shouldn't belong to the world, and she shouldn't have a bond with mortal people. Peony has never doubted it, so Peony has been waiting, and after the young lady and the son dissolve the marriage, Peony will marry you without hesitation......
We opened a pharmacy in Jiangnan together, and we lived a plain and happy life together. Ning Gongzi, do you say that this kind of life will be very happy? Peony even thought that we would have four children, two girls and two boys......
But...... Childe, why are you ...... Why are you working so hard? Why...... Why is it so good? even if it's a little worse, even if it's just a little worse...... The young lady begins to pay attention to you, to pay attention to you, to be curious about you...... I know...... I know that my Ning Gongzi will soon no longer belong to me......
She sent us down the mountain to help you take the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I knew that in the bottom of Miss's heart, you were no longer the same. I know you're working so hard, and you're working hard for Miss, in order to be worthy of Miss. However, didn't you see the way the peony looked at you, and didn't you see the sadness in the peony's eyes?
Peony doesn't want you to be a hero, Peony wants you to be an ordinary man, a man who is gentle and good to Peony. But...... Why do you only have a young lady in your eyes...... Why......
Miss's light is too dazzling...... So both me and Shiya Hongxia have become ugly girls. Shiya is crazy, she killed Hongxia, this is her own fault, but I am jealous, I am afraid of becoming the second Shiya, so I have been hesitating, I have been hesitating whether to come back.
But why did you fall in love with Miss so quickly, so quickly? Didn't Miss say that it was just to cut off the red dust? Why? Why is the whole world spreading about your marriage to Miss?
Peony didn't dare to go back, didn't dare to go to you, Peony was afraid, afraid that she couldn't help but say things to you that shouldn't be said. Peony is afraid of being rejected by you, afraid that you will look down on Peony. However, the peony is so useless, I don't have the courage to fight, I don't have the courage to fight with the young lady.
Ning Gongzi, do you know...... The days leading up to your wedding are the days when Peony wants to come back to you the most. Peony really wants to say to you that I like you, Peony wants you not to marry Miss, Peony really wants the bride who married you is me......
However, the peony could not do anything...... I can only secretly give you a handful of hair. Ning Gongzi, isn't Peony naïve? Maybe...... Maybe you didn't know that the gold box had peony hair in it, did you?"
Muttering to herself, Peony's head is already a mess, she doesn't know what to say, and she doesn't know what she said. Tightly pressed against Ning Yue's chest, just to keep her mouth from stopping. I was afraid that as soon as I stopped, Ning Yue's soul would float away.
Suddenly, the broken words suddenly stopped, and Peony's slightly closed eyes suddenly widened, and there was a trace of doubt, stunned, and thick disbelief in the round eyes.
Lying on Ning Yue's chest again, this time, Peony held her breath, her round eyes full of prayer. After a long time, Peony raised her head in shock. Suddenly, Peony smiled, but the tears in the corners of her eyes burst out again uncontrollably.
"Young Master Ning, I will save you...... I will definitely save you......" Peony muttered a promise, as if she was saying it to Ning Yue, and it was like saying it to herself.
