Chapter 51: An Unexpected Encounter
When she went outside the city, she saw that everyone in Chaoyan was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that Tao Xuanju really ran for his life?
Holly's predecessors took Wen Yeting's personal soldiers to pursue Tao Xuanju's traces, so as not to make him a fish that slipped through the net.
Chao Yan saw her return safely, and she couldn't hide her joy, and couldn't wait to ask: "Huajian, Wang Miao is already dead?" ”
She nodded, and when the rest of the people saw her like this, they were all so happy that they couldn't help themselves.
She turned to Yuming, "Auntie, princess, she's still alive." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Ming's eyes filled with tears, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of the joy of revenge or the surprise of being shocked by the news.
"And where is she now?" Yu Ming's voice was also a little trembling, as if it was not easy to spit out these words.
"Rest at the Imperial Flower Terrace, and I'll pick her up at dawn, and we'll leave here together."
"It turned out that the princess was still alive, I thought that Jinyun City was as usual because Wang Miao used the princess's ashes as nourishment, but I didn't expect that she was still devouring her blood." After speaking, Yuming paused, and instructed them, "You all go and rest, and you stay among the flowers." ”
Hearing this, she couldn't help but be nervous, she didn't seem to be able to hear the voice of the flowers anymore, if Yuming asked something, what should she do.
Yuming beckoned her to sit down, made her a cup of tea, and handed it to her with one hand.
As she had always been taught, she took it with both hands and took a sip.
The water had not yet entered his throat, and only the sonorous voice of Yu Ming could be heard.
"Who the hell are you?"
Her hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and she pretended to look at Yuming in disbelief, "Auntie, why can't I understand what you're talking about......"
Yu Ming looked at her eyes firmly, and replied to herself without saying a word: "I brought up Huajian single-handedly, and no one knows her character better than me." When you first came to Jinyun City, although there were still some shadows in your words and deeds, I always felt that something was wrong. Later, when we returned to our hometown to settle the clansmen, Granny Hua told me that in order to save Wen Yeting, Huajian begged her to use the technique of exchanging blood and returning the soul. I thought it was probably because of this that you were a little stranger. Unexpectedly, when I returned to Jinyun City and had more contact with you, I would be a little more suspicious of you. ”
Speaking of which, Yuming deliberately stopped to observe her reaction. She only lowered her head to look at the teacup in her hand, and the tea trembled, as if she couldn't calm her heart.
"Flowers, should I say?" She was distraught and tried to wake Hanama again.
But in vain, she could only hear her own heartbeat in the whole room.
Seeing that she was silent, Yuming stood up, paced to her and squatted down in front of her, holding her hand tightly with both hands, and continued: "Girl, I beg you, tell me what happened. ”
She first gently put the teacup on the table, picked up the jade tea at her feet, and sighed.
"Auntie, you get up first......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the sound of chaos outside the door, and she motioned for Yuming to silence. Then he immediately hid sideways behind the door, drew his Hidden Blade, and observed the movement outside through the gap.
The person who came was Tao Xuanju, who they hadn't tracked, and in addition to the shadow guards, there were also some officers and soldiers around him.
Now that Wang Miao is dead, it seems that this Tao Xuanju has other plans.
Seeing that Tao Xuanju was about to move, he tried to surround them.
"It's not good, Chaoyan and Xiyan are still in the middle room." Thinking of this, she looked back at Yu Ming on the side again, "It's too late." ”
She thought about it, she had to find a way to get them out first.
"Is there a back door or a secret passage?" She calmly inquired towards Yu Ming, then looked around, picking up the developed poisonous smoke from a corner of the room.
Yuming was also frightened at this time, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, there is a door behind the right side of the courtyard." ”
"Okay, I'll let Chaoyan and the others take you away while there's chaos, and I'll drag Tao Xuanju back."
Yuming was about to refute her, but she had already rushed out, leaving only a decisive figure in her eyes. She broke out of the door, and before she could set up a formation, she threw down a few poisonous cigarettes, and the soldiers in front of her fell to the ground one after another.
In an instant, a thick fog rose, and Yuming took the opportunity to escape from the room.
She pushed open the door of Chaoyan's room, only to see that the two of them were also ready for battle and wanted to advance and retreat with her.
"You take your aunt first, and I'll take care of the aftermath here." She didn't have time to say anything more, but as she spoke, she split open the door of the courtyard and pushed them out.
Chao Yan took her hand, "I'll stay with you." ”
She brushed aside Chao Yan's hand, "I'm better alone to find a chance to escape, if you don't want me to die, hurry up and find rescuers." ”
Seeing that they had already run away, she hid behind the house, lit the spark, and threw the fire into the mist while the smoke had not yet dissipated. In an instant, the sound of lightning and explosions burst into flames, and the ears were endless.
She was also knocked to the ground by the violent air wave, and the air in her ears surged, and some of the voices could not be heard clearly. She lay behind the crumbling but not yet collapsed wall, her body unable to move as if she had been weighed down by a thousand pounds.
The scattered debris cut the back of her hand, pulling out a long gash that made her clench her teeth in pain.
She struggled to pull her Hidden Blade from her side and propped herself to her feet, squirming her legs, blood dripping from the back of her hand.
She struggled to her feet, strands of hair on her forehead uncontrollably on her face, still stained with a little dirt.
But she promised the flowers, she couldn't lose.
The fog was about to clear, and there was a faint sound of footsteps, and she staggered forward, trying to hide in the dense forest.
She clutched the back of her hand tightly, but she couldn't stop the blood that was flowing all the way.
Tao Xuanju followed her bloodstains and quickly found her hiding place, at this moment her lips were pale, her eyes began to blur, and coarse sweat oozed from her forehead, sliding down her fair and soft face.
Fortunately, the people brought by Tao Xuanju have already lost a lot, and there are only three or five people beside him at the moment. But Tao Xuanju's body was covered with bloodstains, presumably because he used his body as a meat pad during the explosion.
"It's a big deal, just fight with them." She thought to herself, clenched the Hidden Blade in her hand, and didn't dare to come out, only silently waiting for them to approach.
When the shadow guards around Tao Xuanju scattered, she flew out of the dense forest, and with a blow of her long sword, Tao Xuanju held her sword with both hands and retreated.
The other shadow guards reacted and stepped forward one after another. She shook off Tao Xuanju, turned around and fought hard, and cleanly got rid of those subordinates.
Tao Xuanju took the opportunity to go straight into the long knife and stabbed her in the back.
She felt the coercion from behind and dodged sideways, but the hair around her ears was shaved off and scattered to the ground.
Now she can't take care of it so much, anyway, her identity has been exposed, so she began to use the tricks taught by Holly's predecessors to fight against Tao Xuanju.
"Her breath has changed." Tao Xuanju thought to himself, he couldn't really see what tricks she was playing, but he felt that suddenly, the woman opposite exuded a sense of coldness.
Her eyes were full of a shuddering state of battle, as if her gaze had turned into the tip of a knife, and she was looking down on the world condescendingly.
Tao Xuanju actually felt as if he had fallen behind at this moment, and he brandished a long knife, the blade pointed directly at her throat. The knife face also exuded a faint cold aura in the shallow moonlight, stabbing the eyes.
Her slightly dark red eyes were also awe-inspiring cold in the gloomy night. With a swing of her strength, she pushed Tao Xuanju's long knife away, and her strength was so crazy that Tao Xuanju couldn't parry it, and her feet stretched out a step back, resisting her sword.
The two confronted each other, and suddenly heard a rush and complicated footsteps behind them. Tao Xuanju saw that the person who came was not his own, so he tried his best to shake off her hidden blade and fled into the depths of the dense forest.
She still wanted to continue the pursuit, but her feet were too heavy to take a step, and when she turned around, she saw Wen Yeting jumping up from her horse, as if she wanted to catch her.
Her eyes darkened, and she stretched out her hand to hold Wen Yeting's hand, but she fainted unconsciously, and the Hidden Blade in her hand also fell to the ground.
"Cai Cai, Cai Cai ......" Wen Yeting's frightened call sounded in her ears, but she only felt that this person's embrace was very warm, so warm that she wanted to never wake up like this.
I don't know how long it took, but she seemed to hear the voice of the flowers in her sleep, and she wanted to open her mouth to answer, but she couldn't speak.
"Miss Shi, are you alright?"
She opened her eyes in her sleep, but there were living flowers in front of her, and she looked up at her palm, as if she had come to life.
The two looked at each other, as if they had known each other for a long time, and as if they were meeting for the first time.
"It turns out that Miss Shi, you look like this." Hanama laughed and teased.
She saw that Hanama was a little kind, and she thought that Hanama had disappeared, so she also laughed with Hanama. Then he asked, "What's going on?" ”
"After you killed Wang Miao, I talked to you, but you didn't answer me, and I can't hear your voice anymore. I think...... It may be time. It's just that I didn't expect Wen Yeting's few calls to pull me back again. ”
"Looks like your soul still has remnants." She muttered, "But now that your wish is half fulfilled, as long as you help Wen Yeting ascend to the throne again, I can return my body to you." ”
"No, Miss Shi, you don't have to fight for my wishes anymore. I figured it out, my wish is that you can be reincarnated, and you've done enough. Although I couldn't communicate with you just now, I saw what you did, and you fought for your life to protect my people. Who am I to ask of you again? ”
She felt that her heart was light, and she could finally be reincarnated, and showed her rare and fresh smile to the flowers.
Then he remembered something and asked, "But if I am reincarnated, you are ......."
Hanama smiled and shook her head, with crystal tears in her eyes, "Miss Shi doesn't have to worry, no matter what the result is, I will admit it." Even if Wen Yeting will be sad and forget, it will be good for me to always remember him. ”
Will Wen Yeting be sad?
When she thought of this, she somehow felt heartache, didn't she want Wen Yeting to be sad?
Therefore, her reincarnation may cause the eternal disappearance of the flowers, may make the people around the flowers face loss, and most importantly, it may bring Wen Yeting a lifetime of suffering.
Staying in this strange and inappropriate world, as time goes by, she will be reluctant to give up, and she will not bear it.
She clenched her wrists, but it was a little difficult to choose at this moment. She seemed to have a memory of the world, but she couldn't figure out what she was remembering.
Hanama saw that she was a little worried, and stepped forward to gently spread her palm and hugged her.
"Stone girl, if I am lucky enough to be resurrected, I will tell them that you have been here. If I don't wake up, it's my life. Maybe the two of us will be reincarnated together, and we will meet again in the next life. And, thank you. ”
She relaxed, bowed her head slightly, and replied softly: "Hanama, thank you." ”
