Chapter Twenty-Four: Yunfan Breaks the Song
Tao Xuanju caught up with the carriage, but when he saw that the car was empty, he knew that he had fallen into a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. had to hurry back to Muhua Palace to ask to see the state lord, Wang Miao had just sent Wei Yun away, and was impatiently waiting for Tao Xuanju's news.
Seeing his dejected appearance, he knew a thing or two in his heart, and said angrily: "Tao Xuanju! You're so stupid! You tell me, now that people have run away, what should I do? What should I do with Jinyun City? What to do in Shuzhou? ”
Tao Xuanju immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The state lord, the subordinates are not doing things well, please punish the state lord." But today is really unexpected, I don't know when they colluded and acted so carefully, they must have been prepared in advance, waiting to invite you into the urn. ”
Wang Miao suppressed his anger and asked, "You should tell the truth about tonight's events first, as for how to punish you, I have my own plans, don't think you can escape." ”
Today, her subordinates followed Qingke to the outskirts of the city, and everything was originally the same as she said, but after entering the ruined temple, she realized that she had already laid an ambush. When I fought them, I found that one of them used Holly's tricks, but his body did not resemble a man, and I guessed that Holly had joined forces with them. There is also a person who seems to have robbed the master in the first place, and although the swordsmanship of the envoy today is something I have never seen, the number of moves is very similar to that of the person of that day. They are a group of four, and it is estimated that three of them are women and one is a man, unlike what Qingke said, they are scattered, but some go hand in hand, and they are in perfect harmony. Otherwise, he would not have made such a meticulous plan in a short period of time, and he would have cooperated with one step without a bad step, which can be called seamless. ”
Wang Miao let out a meaningful "oh" and immediately ordered: "You immediately notify the guards in the city, and say that if there is a prisoner who has escaped from prison, it is necessary to block the city gate, search from house to house, and focus on interrogating many female dependents in the family." I don't believe it, Qingke is seriously injured and has not recovered, and he is still delusional to seek revenge on me, maybe they can escape overnight? You send another guard to search around Jinyun City to see if it will hide in the vicinity. ”
Tao Xuanju retreated to do errands, Wang Miao sat on pins and needles in the dormitory, and thought: "That Yudu has long been eyeing the unification of the Central Plains, if this group falls into his hands again, I am afraid it will be even more powerful." When the time comes, not only will Shuzhou be captured, but it will also be a dead hand to me, and the century-old foundation of the Wang family will be interrupted in my hands. No, I can't let that happen! At that time, my grandfather did not want to be a mermaid, and would rather have the two countries go around than bow down, so that he could enjoy all the glory and wealth in this pure land and die a righteous death. If I hand over Shuzhou to someone today, someone else will definitely take it over, and I will either be a prisoner waiting to be killed, or a bereaved dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, how sad......"
At this time, a large-scale search began to be carried out everywhere in Jinyun City, and the people were all frightened in their sleep, and Yuhuatai was no exception.
The officers and soldiers summoned all the envoys to the front of the hall and questioned them in turn where they were tonight and whether there were any suspicious people. Jiang Ning saw Shi Jingyou's frowns, presumably worried that he had sneaked home and was exposed, so he replied first: "Shi Jingyou and I have been resting in the room since work, and we haven't taken half a step out of the door. "I was able to get away with it.
Back in the room, she still couldn't hide her sadness, Jiang Ning asked, "What's wrong?" I see that you were distraught just now, why are you still restless after this interrogation? ”
She looked up, quickly concealed her apprehension, and replied, "I've never seen anything like this before, and I'm just a little frightened." ”
Jiang Ning pondered for a while, "Don't talk about you, I was born in Jinyun City since I was a child, and I have never seen such a scene, presumably this criminal who escaped from prison is extraordinary." Don't think about it, sleep, you have to work tomorrow. With that, Jiang Ning fell asleep.
She was worried, although she had expected that after the rescue was successful, Wang Miao would definitely not stop there, and would definitely search for the whole city, so she sent Qingke to Wen Yeting's residence for treatment at the beginning, but seeing such a stirring of teachers, she still couldn't help but worry about whether they would be able to hide from the world.
At the Furong Inn here, Yu Ming was treating Qingke in Wei Yun's room, but she didn't expect that the knife of the shadow guard was coated with poison, and Qingke's back was already ulcerating, and the blood scabs stuck to her clothes.
Seeing this tragic situation, Chao Yan on the side had tears in his eyes, and his throat was hoarse from being stabbed by the anger, but he didn't want to cry and cry to annoy people, so he held back and had to silently pass the object for Yuming on the side.
Xiyan was watching the wind at the door, and when she saw Wei Yun and Wen Yeting hurrying up from downstairs, Wei Yun walked up to her and whispered: "You go to Brother Wen's room next door first, the investigation is here, don't worry, we will try to hide." ”
Wen Yeting led Xiyan over, Xiyan turned around and gave Chaoyan a look, and then went to Wen Yeting's room. Chao Yan pulled the curtain next to the bed and hid Qingke inside, while he and Yuming hid at the screen at the end of the bed. When Wei Yun saw that they were all hidden, he went into the house and took off his coat, pretending to be woken up.
Here, Wen Yeting also entered the house, and said to Xiyan in a low voice: "Xiyan girl, I'm sorry, please go to the bed and cover the quilt, I will take off my coat later, and go to deal with the officers and soldiers, don't be surprised." Xiyan nodded, and lay on his side on the bed, not daring to look back at him again.
Wen Yeting put his coat on the screen, carefully extinguished the candle, and sat on the bed, waiting for the knock.
The room was suddenly silent, Xiyan couldn't help but take advantage of the darkness to turn her head, and saw Wen Yeting sitting upright with her back to her, as if she was shrouded in moonlight, the craggy spine was visible through the light underwear, and the broad shoulders of the majestic shore complemented each other with her slender waist, which made Xiyan's heart surge, and she didn't dare to look at it again, so she held her breath with her face against the wall, but her heart was beating wildly.
Finally, someone knocked on Wen Yeting's door, and he shouted impatiently: "Who? It's the middle of the night. While deliberately wearing his shoes crookedly, he patted the edge of the bed and signaled Xiyan not to act rashly.
He walked to the door with his coat on, and opened the door sleepily, and when the officer and soldier saw that he was a man, he said: "Routine inspection, who else is in your room?" ”
Wen Yeting pretended to be flattering and replied: "Official, I came out to look for joy behind my mother's back, and I would like to ask you to make it convenient." So saying, he took a piece of silver out of his coat purse and gave it to the man.
When the officer and soldier saw that the money was open, he quickly took the silver and stuffed it into his arms, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Okay, this house is fine!" And he went on to question.
Wen Yeting closed the door, dressed neatly, stood at the door, turned his back to the inside, and said, "Miss Xiyan, get up, it's okay." ”
Xiyan got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Wen Yeting at the door.
After a while, Wei Yun knocked on the door and whispered, "Miss Xiyan, come here." So Xiyan went to Wei Yun's room, and Wei Yun stayed in Wen Yeting's room, when the sky was already dawning, and the two were able to take a rest.
Yuming continued to debride and heal Qingke, only to find that the poison on the knife had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and even if it was detoxified now, it was a lack of surgery, she was stunned, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Chao Yan also saw it clearly on the side, she raised her head and looked at Yu Ming, at this time, although Yu Ming lowered her head, she could vaguely see the tears in her eyes, and Chao Yan was also silent.
Qing Ke saw that the two of them had been silent, and said: "You don't have to be like this, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and I still have a good idea of my body, I am afraid that time is running out...... Wang Miao also threatened me at the beginning, if I refused to tell your whereabouts, the poison on my body would be deeper, and it was in this way that I could deceive him because of my desire to survive. ”
After that, he raised his hand and wanted to touch Yu Ming, but Yu Ming dropped the plaster in his hand in a panic, and said to Chao Yan with a crying voice: "Chao Yan, please take the rest of the medicine." ”
After saying that, Yu Ming got up and walked out of the door, Xi Yan looked at Yu Ming who was in tears with a stunned face, knowing that the situation was not good, she reached out and patted Yu Ming's shoulder, trying to comfort her, but her eyes were gradually blurred by tears, so she had to turn her head away and not let Yu Ming see it.
"Oh, what's wrong with you guys? Aren't we mentally prepared before we come out? For me, this is a matter of time, it is expected to come early and late, I can accept it, but it is a pity that I can't see the day Wang Miao dies, I am unwilling. Qingke tried his best and said loudly, trying to behave as chic as possible.
After hearing this, Yuming thought that she couldn't whimper like this anymore, and it was Qingke himself who was even more painful at the moment, how could she show weakness in front of her? quickly wiped the tears from his face, held back the tears, and returned to Qingke's side, helped her get dressed, and then helped her lie down.
Qingke quickly fell asleep, she was so tired that she even struggled to lift her eyelids.
These days are locked in a dark dungeon, and time is like quicksand, sliding over her, but not leaving a trace.
In that boundless darkness, she didn't seem to feel the existence of everything in the world, and she couldn't even remember who she was occasionally, at that time, there was only one thought in her heart, revenge, revenge!
However, before he could do anything, he was about to die.
What was left behind was endless regret, and what was left behind was the fear of the unknown, and I didn't know what the princess was thinking when she died. Will she, like me, regret every step she has taken? Will she be like me, wanting to leave this dark world, but worrying that she will be very weak and weak when she leaves?
But if I had been given a chance to choose again, I would still have saved the beggar without hesitation, and I would still have become what I am now because of the mercy I deserve. What's wrong with me? yes, what could I be wrong!
I just want to cut a hole in the dark sky, so that the obscured light can reappear in the world; I just want to do my best to take every step of the way, so that if I remember the beginning in the future, I won't sigh; I was born as humble as duckweed, and my ambition was as thousand miles as the wind, but I was not strong enough to turn the clouds and rain......
I hope that our hearts are like rocks, the eight winds can't blow, and the clouds can break the song.
