Chapter 69: The Meaning of Life III

The man who greeted them was not Kang Hyun, who was in his thirties, his brother's black hair was combed into a braid at the back of his head, and he was braided into multiple braids on the top of his head, densely intertwined, with no long hair at the back of his head, with a wide and protruding forehead like his brother, no beard, and a slender and strong body.

"In Xia Kangying, he is the younger brother of Kang Xian, the city lord of Saltwater City, and his brother has not returned from the war against the nomadic tide, and now he is acting as the city lord. My civil officer came to report that Madame and the third prince did not come with you?"

Kang Hyun, Kang Young, this name is reminiscent of Hyun Wang Long Hui and Ying Wang Long Mi. Fortunately, no one in the Kang family is called Kang Sheng, and God knows if they will miss the pious king Long Yumin and the benevolent king dragon Xingtian......

"The guardian of the Wolf Tooth Fortress, Ping Xiu, was ordered to escort two carriages. Dai Lan replied.

Kang Ying's lukewarm attitude gave Yu Jian a bad premonition, which was similar to how he felt when he was in the Wolf's Tooth Fortress. And Kang Ying's next words were just as surprising.

"Out of habit, I should continue to call you young lady. Now, though, things have changed a little. After Kang Ying beckoned them to sit down, he said with a relaxed face: "The young master has sent a quick letter stating that he has dissolved his marriage with you. I still call you young lady, also out of respect for you. ”

These words exploded in Jian's ears. He pinched his arm in disbelief, and it hurt. He remembered the nightmare he had before, Dai Lan was pierced through the chest by a spear, and the spear bearer was faintly Qin Ming's appearance. In another dream afterward, Dailan was lying in a coffin. Every nightmare these days seems to prove how real they are. How could Dai Lan withstand such a blow?

After saying this, Kang Ying looked at Dai Lan carefully, as if trying to find the reaction he expected from her face. But her face was expressionless, and her tone was calm: "Can you show me the quick letter?"

"Of course. Kang Ying took out a bundle of parchment wrapped in a yellow ribbon from his body and handed it over. "This was delivered not long ago, and it was written by the young master himself. You have come sooner or later, at the right time. ”

Dai Lan pulled the ribbon open, spread out the letter, and looked at it carefully.

Yu Jian was catching her reaction, but the surprise quickly overpowered the worry, and she read the letter from beginning to end, but there was no reaction. She was so calm and at ease, as if the wife of the young master of the Golden Castle was someone else, and what was written in the letter had nothing to do with her. This most likely disappointed Kang Ying, and the acting city lord shrugged his brows, "Young master, no, we should be called the King of the Golden Horse, since you understand his decision, you know that he will not see you again, and you will be forbidden to enter the Golden Castle......"

Dai Lan interrupted him: "But out of the former husband and wife relationship, he allowed me to leave Jinju Province safely. It's all written, I know, my lord, you don't have to repeat it to me. ”

Her husband refused to see her, disowned her, or tolerate her, but ordered her to be expelled. A huge province of Jinju, the place she called home, now has no place for her.

And she still has his child in her womb.

"My lord, as you wish, I will do as the king of the golden horse wills, and will not cause you any trouble. Thank you for your reception. She stood up and turned gracefully.

"My lord civil officer, send our former young lady and prepare her with sufficient supplies to meet any reasonable request she makes. Kang Ying's smug voice followed her.

Yu Jian followed closely behind Dai Lan, ready to support her at any time. She is noble and generous, and she looks strong on the outside, but she is actually very fragile and could faint at any moment. The courage she showed in front of Kang Hyun was extraordinary, but he knew what kind of torment and torture she was going through inside.

There has never been a more devastating blow in the world. One by one, her relatives died, her aunts and uncles abandoned her, and now her only pillar no longer exists. Xianglong's land is large, but she is a king without land. There was no land, no army, and no subordination. There was only one sinner, an angry and helpless sinner who was still going to follow her and protect her. But can he really protect him? He may be able to withstand the flying arrows, the frontal attack, but he can't protect her from the trauma.

If he is still a legitimate Dragon Monarch Guard, he is also a useless Dragon Monarch Guard. If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect the king?

The civil magistrate led them to the stables, and the kind fat man, unlike his lord, had a genuine sympathy on his face. "I have something to say to you. If you don't mind, I'm happy to call you young lady in private. ”

She was still able to smile and respond with a smile to kindness: "Don't mind." "Young lady, are you going to stay here for a few days, I can arrange for you a place that is quiet enough that no one else knows. After what has happened to you, you need to take a good rest. The civil officer's tone was sincere.

"No, I was about to leave. She said with ease.

"I'm sad about what happened. Our Lord died suddenly, let us ...... How to put it, I think something bad has happened, and the situation is a bit chaotic now, especially even Madame...... In short, everything is very different from when my lord was alive, and the death of my wife has made the situation worse. ”

"My lord, did you hear anything special?"

The civil magistrate carefully looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, and then lowered his voice and said, "I have heard that some adults oppose the young master, and the young master may not have the support of everyone. Powerful adults are divided into two factions, with some believing that you are ...... Unclean, it is you who have brought calamity to the province of Jinju, especially after the day of the dragon's face, the rumor that the dragon god punished the family of the former king has become more and more violent. I personally don't believe in those, but that's what some powerful adults say, and so do my masters...... It may not be okay for one person to say that, but if a hundred people say that...... Therefore, the young master may have been affected. I think there are still many people who, like me, believe that you are innocent, that you have not committed those rumored crimes, and that what you did in the Golden Castle will not be forgotten by an upright Golden Horseman. I hope you can wait for the young master to find out the facts, and if he finds out that he has made a mistake, he will correct it and give you justice. That's all I can say, young lady. ”

"You are such a good person, thank you, Ryujin will see your generosity and bravery. She was barely holding her composure. Behind her calm face and words was a stormy sea.

The kind civil magistrate loaded their mule carts with enough supplies, and when they were met by Kang Ying, the civil magistrate also arranged for their mules to be tended to, their manes cleaned, their bellies fed to their heart's content, and their hooves padded with new cushions.

"Do you have any plans?" asked the civil magistrate before Dai Lan got into the mule cart.

"Not yet. She replied honestly.

"I suggest you go to the Northern Desert to find Lord Luo Xun, he can help you. You are a noble person, and there will be more people in the Northern Desert who will see it this way. ”

"Thank you. I will seriously consider your suggestion. She got into the carriage and opened the window to say goodbye.

Come calmly, go calmly. She didn't show any frustration in Saltwater, and the man who abandoned her would hear about her trembling and uneasiness from Ping Xiu, but he wouldn't hear any more descriptions of her lost soul from Kang Young. The descendants of the Holy King may still have a vulnerable side, but there is no lack of pride in their noble bloodline. She wants to fight back against that ruthless man with such pride.

It is an unforgivable sin to abandon a wife and children. If Dailan has any strengths and weaknesses, I'll let you know what it means to repay. Not even God can stop me.

The mule cart headed south, and soon they left Saltwater City and returned to the Virtuous King's Way.

At the intersection of the Path of the Virtuous King and the Road of the Northerners, he held the reins, where could he go?, "Are you going to Longfence?" he knocked on the carriage, the speed of which slowed down, and the horses and mules were almost walking leisurely, their hooves trampling in the snow, forming pit after pit.

There was silence in the carriage.

He sighed, since they left the royal capital, the dragon god would test her one after another, and each hurt her more deeply than the other. He couldn't imagine anything worse than everything she had already encountered.

He wasn't a good talker, and he didn't know how to comfort her at this moment. He habitually touched his waist, and whenever he touched the solidity of the dragon mark, he felt some relief. It was not only a sword, but also a symbol, and now it is one of his spiritual sustenance.

However, the waist was empty.

He was taken aback, then reacted immediately. He jumped out of the seat with lightning speed, opened the car door, and saw that she was holding the dragon mark, the sword was unsheathed, and she was looking at the lines on the sword in a daze.

With a loud cry, he rushed into the carriage, grabbed her wrist, and with a little force, snatched the scabbard down, and the sound of the unsheathed sword falling back into the sheath was crisp and cold, and he was frightened.

"What are you doing?" his voice trembled.

The woman, tormented by her wounds, stared straight ahead with vacant eyes, and was dumbfounded.

He had been anxious, watching her reaction, and he hated himself for being so careless that he didn't notice when she had taken the dragon marks.

"Don't do stupid things. I know you're in a lot of pain right now, but I beg you not to do anything stupid. You didn't do anything wrong, and you didn't feel sorry for anyone......"

"I want to die. ”

When she said these three words, she actually smiled. In an instant, she burst out laughing maniacally, tears welling up at the same time. Laughter and bitter weeping alternated for long periods of time, dark death and gray life dancing around her. The road ahead is vast, the way back is gone, and looking back is full of blood and pain. He held her arms tightly to keep her from falling, and for a moment his heart beat he even feared that she would go crazy.

"You let me die. She seemed to come to her senses, and looked at him with wide eyes, burning with a blazing light of despair. "I command you, give me the dragon marks. ”

"Don't do that...... Dailan, I beg you, cheer up. ”

"I command you! Do you hear that you keep saying that I am your king, but you do not obey my commands? that you will lie to me?!" she screamed, and threw herself at him, trying to break free of his arms.

He didn't know what to say, he just held her tightly and restrained her intense movements. At the moment she completely forgot that there was still a child in her belly.

"It's all deception! You're all liars!" she looked at him angrily, "What the hell have I done, you want to do this to me? I just want to live quietly, and I don't want anything, but you don't allow it! I just want to go home, go back to my home, but you don't allow it! I want to die now, there is no point in living, but you don't allow it!"

"It's not like this, it's not like this, Delan. I didn't deceive you, how could I deceive you. He stretched out his arms, desperately held her tightly in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "And me, you have nothing, you still have me! I am by your side, I will always be by your side, protect you!"

He recklessly let the feelings in his heart burst and pour out, and he was no longer under any control. "No matter who wants to hurt you, I will protect you, and I will be there wherever you go. As long as you allow it, as long as you want, I can do anything for you. ”

"I want you to kill Yuan Yiping, did you do it? I want you to let me die, did you do it?" Dai Lan pushed him away, tilted her head and laughed. "You have your faith, you have your vows, I don't, I have nothing now. You tell me, why do I have to live?"

"You still have your children. ”

The words "child......" made her tremble a little, but she screamed again: "He didn't think it was his child! He didn't believe me! He didn't even want to see me again! I didn't even have a chance to explain! You know what? You don't know anything!"

"I know...... At least I know that this is your child, you don't have nothing, you still have a child, and for him, you have to live. ”

"He has no grandparents, no grandparents, and his father doesn't recognize him, even if he is born into this world, he is destined to be an unfortunate child, why should I let my child suffer this kind of suffering?" she yelled at Yu Jian.

Forgive me, O God, my beloved, forgive me!

He retorted with a roar, "But he will survive! If he is born into this world, he will have a mother." I will also protect him and do what I can. You can't take away all the chances of his life!"

She glared at him and stopped talking.

"Dailan, this is his fate. He was destined to be born in suffering. You're going to give him a chance, let him come into this world, let him change all that!"

"Will he?"

"If you don't give him a chance to live, then he never will. He put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "So you have to live well and never have that kind of stupid thought again." Your children are the reason you live. ”

She fell silent. Yu Jian didn't know if she was tired of continuing to make noise, or if she accepted his statement, so he asked her again, "Shall we go to Long Fence City?"

She asked twice before she replied, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Jian thought for a while and said, "Maybe we can wait, Qin Ming will change his mind." ”

"He won't. We're just going to stay there?"

"There is no harm in waiting for a few days, Lord Mo Feng may know the answer to the question, and he will come back. ”

She shook her head resolutely: "No answer. The answer is already clear. If I go to Long Fence City, I will only become a burden to Mo Feng and cause him trouble. ”

They are all fugitives now, and anyone who takes them in will be enemies of the dragon. Or maybe a Golden Castle.

"If you wish, I'll take you back to my hometown, where I have a cousin, and she's a very nice person, and we need to stay quietly for half a year. "In six months' time, the child will be born, and you will have the motivation to survive.

"Then they will find your cousin and kill her. ”

"I don't know what Qin Ming's handwritten letter is, but if he wanted us to fall into the hands of the royal court, he should have done so a long time ago. We are now going west, and I remember that there was a small village not far away, and I forgot what it was called. We take a break there before deciding where to go. ”

"Niubei Village. She responded numbly, like a shell of a soul drained.

"Then let's go to Niubei Village. ”

He thrust the dragon mark back into his waist, returned to the driver's seat, and turned the car to the west. He was very tired now, and as he drove the car, he silently prayed to the dragon god that no more accidents would happen, and if he got into any more trouble, he wondered if he would be able to hold on.
