Chapter 164: Recovering the Body
The body wearing the bright yellow dragon robe fell to the ground in a slump of time, and blood gushed out from the broken cavity, soaking the rocks and plants.
Sheng Guixin picked up the head on the ground and put it in a cloth bag.
The morning sun rises, and the dew condensed on the yellowed leaves of the dead grass reflects the glow.
Sheng Guixin took two steps forward, looked at Zhang Yuqing who had reunited after a long absence, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Zhang Yuqing's cheek.
Zhang Yuqing looked at his cautious appearance, his heart was extremely sour, his eyelashes blinked slightly, and two crystal tears fell to the ground.
The once cheerful and smiling boy was forced by fate to look like he had experienced vicissitudes and was depressed.
"Yueming, I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Sheng Guixin said with a smile.
According to their plan, he wanted to return to the mountains where they had lived for more than ten years, and burn the head of Emperor Taichang in front of the tomb of Shengdao Pavilion to pay tribute to their deceased father.
Zhang Yuqing pulled out a smile and said softly: "Everything is precious, brother." ”
Sheng Guixin tied the cloth bag to the saddle, turned over on the horse with a steel gun, and finally took a deep look at Zhang Yuqing, grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, ran into the depths of the mountain, and disappeared on the winding mountain road.
Life does not meet, but if you participate in business.
When they complete their revenge plan and send the people on the revenge list to the underworld one by one, that will be the day when he and Yueming will really reunite.
"Let's go." Zhang Yuqing suppressed all the surging emotions in her heart and said to the people who accompanied her.
As she was about to descend the mountain, she took one last look at the headless corpse of Emperor Taichang on the ground, her eyes full of disgust and hatred.
The crowd descended the trail.
The riots that had lasted all night in Nanyang City had been calmed down under Jin Yongxiu's iron-blooded suppression, and Nanyang City was still a quiet city when viewed from the mountain.
Zhang Yuqing and others, under the leadership of the local guide, turned around and returned to the place where the tripping rope was set up, and Jin Yongkang was still unconscious on the ground.
The guards crackled and slapped a few times, and Jin Yongkang finally woke up, almost unable to open his eyes because of the dazzling morning sun.
"Where is this?" Jin Yongkang asked blankly, holding on to the blood on his head and the slap prints on his face that had dried up on his head.
Zhang Yuqing squatted in front of him and asked, "Master Jin, why are you here?" What about the emperor? Didn't you escort the emperor out of the city? ”
Jin Yongkang reacted at this time, and when he looked around, only Zhang Yuqing and her guards, as well as a few of the guards they brought out from Nanyang City, all had knife wounds on their chests, and they were cold.
He jumped up from the ground in shock and shouted in fear: "What about the emperor? What about the emperor? ”
"Before I left Nanyang City, I was separated from you, if it weren't for these guards to protect me, I wouldn't have been able to get out!" Zhang Yuqing shook his head and sighed, "I thought you followed the emperor to a safe place!" ”
Jin Yongkang had completely remembered what happened last night, he fell down in this place on horseback, the emperor and the others ran away, and hurriedly explained to Zhang Yuqing last night's incident in a trembling manner.
Zhang Yuqing slapped her thigh excitedly, "Lord Jin, you are really blessed!" ”
"How?" Jin Yongkang has been so frightened that he has lost his mind, did he lie in a group of corpses all night yesterday!
Zhang Yuqing pointed to the guards who were killed by a knife, "It must be that Lord Jin hit the tree and shed so much blood, and those gangsters thought that Lord Jin had suffered an accident, so they didn't make up for it, otherwise it would be ......."
Jin Yongkang was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he couldn't imagine that if he had been injured a little less last night, he hadn't fainted, and he would have made any breathing sounds, he would have been slaughtered with a knife like these guards!
"How is Nanyang City now?" Jin Yongkang was pulled up by Zhang Yuqing's guards, stood against the guards, and asked tremblingly.
Zhang Yuqing shook her head, also with a look of fear, "It was like that last night, but fortunately I escaped thanks to the escort of these brothers, we are not familiar with Nanyang's life, and we can't see anything in the dark lights at night, all the way like a headless fly, I haven't met you until now!" It's not time to save you! As for what happened to Nanyang City, I really don't know. ”
Jin Yongkang didn't expect Zhang Yuqing to know any information about a woman who fled for her life like him, thinking that Zhang Yuqing was separated last night, he was still happy to be less burdensome, and if Zhang Yuqing hadn't come to save him today, he would still be lying in the mud, maybe he would have been eaten by wild beasts, Rao is Jin Yongkang is despicable and shameless, and he also feels that he is too much at this moment.
"Mrs. Lu, don't worry, I have written down your life-saving grace!" Jin Yongkang said solemnly.
Zhang Yuqing waved her hand boldly, "Little things, how can you worry about it, Lord Jin!" We've come all the way here, and we've already had a fateful friendship! ”
Jin Yongkang looked around the grove, the air was still filled with blood, and said: "The current plan is to find the emperor quickly." ”
"That's what I thought too." Zhang Yuqing nodded sincerely, "The emperor is a true dragon emperor, and he is covered by dragon energy, and the place where he is must be safe!" ”
Jin Yongkang nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!" If you find the emperor, we will be safe! ”
He doesn't evaluate whether the dragon is angry or not, after the chaos, there must be a large number of military horses mobilized to protect the emperor's safety, and the emperor must be the safest.
Jin Yongkang's leg was broken and he couldn't walk, so the guards cut down a small tree for him and cut off the branches and leaves to use as a crutch.
Zhang Yuqing smiled and watched Jin Yongkang limp forward, and a group of people slowly followed Jin Yongkang on the country road, until a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded behind everyone.
The leader was Jin Yongxiu, who was dressed in armor and had an ugly face.
He galloped in front of Jin Yongkang and asked with an ugly face, "What about the emperor?" ”
Jin Yongkang asked almost at the same time as him, "How is Nanyang City?" ”
"Nanyang City has always been safe and sound." Jin Yongxiu said coldly, "What about the emperor? ”
Jin Yongkang's face was also ugly, Nanyang City was fine, he escaped from the emperor and was lonely, "I followed the emperor out last night, and I was attacked and fell off my horse on the way, and I was separated from the emperor." ”
"Humph!" Jin Yongxiu sneered sarcastically, feeling that Jin Yongkang was also capable of this, and turned his head to face Zhang Yuqing, "What about Mrs. Lu?" ”
Jin Yongkang thought in his heart that Zhang Yuqing had saved her, and hurriedly said: "Before leaving the city gate last night, Mrs. Lu was separated from us, and she just met her, and she didn't know where the emperor was. ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Jin Yongxiu turned his horse's head and continued to chase forward.
"Since Nanyang City is safe, why don't we go back, and when General Jin finds the emperor, he will definitely welcome the emperor back, besides, Lord Jin's injury can't be delayed!" Zhang Yuqing said.
She didn't have the time to accompany Jin Yongkang, a cripple, to hang out here.
Jin Yongkang thought about it, although he was in a hurry to go to the emperor to show his merits, but he walked slowly on crutches, it was impossible to find the emperor before Jin Yongxiu, it was better to go to Nanyang City to find a doctor to treat his broken leg, in case he was lame, he would lose a lot!
Everyone turned back and returned to Nanyang City.
Jin Yongkang entered the city, hurriedly found a doctor, and put a splint and bandage on his broken leg.
The soldiers of Nanyang City were called out to look for the emperor in waves, but everyone waited until the afternoon until Jin Yongxiu returned with the soldiers and Zhang Yuqian, who was covered in blood, surrounded by a car.
I don't know what was on the car, and it was covered with two cloaks.
"What about the emperor?" Jin Yongkang shouted on crutches.
Jin Yongxiu's face was extremely ugly, and the whole person was gloomy as if it was about to rain heavily in June.
Zhang Yuqing hid in the crowd and looked at him, and suddenly felt that after this blow to the young soldier, his spirit had changed. The original ruthlessness of climbing up by all means is gone, replaced by endless depression and panic.
Jin Yongkang saw that Jin Yongxiu ignored him, and asked Zhang Yuqian again, "What about the emperor?" ”
Zhang Yuqian hadn't eaten water and rice for a day, and he had been hit by a crossbow arrow in his leg, so he stretched out his hand haggard and weakly and pointed to the cart surrounded by the soldiers.
Jin Yongkang looked at the cart, panicked all of a sudden, trembled and stretched out his hand to untie his cloak, and what caught his eye was a headless corpse, so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? Mr. Kim, what's in the car? Zhang Yuqing asked.
No one around them paid attention to them, and everyone was like a mourner, lifeless, as if they had been sentenced to death by fate.
Jin Yongkang trembled and got up, and at the moment he couldn't care about the severe pain in his body, and uncovered the cloak on the cart again.
The clothes worn by the headless corpses on the cart were revealed, and it was the bright yellow dragon robe they were extremely familiar with, soaked with blood in many places, only the dragon on its chest was still showing its teeth and claws.
Zhang Yuqing screamed, covered her eyes and took a few steps back.
Jin Yongkang believed in his eyes at this time, as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, his mind was blank, and only one voice repeatedly chanted: "It's over, it's over, it's completely over!" ”
"It doesn't have to be the emperor." Jin Yongxiu spoke in a hoarse voice.
There are chamberlains and women in Nanyang City who are serving the emperor closely, and they have to be asked to identify whether this headless corpse is Emperor Taichang or not.
Jin Yongkang was so frightened that he no longer had any ability to think, and mechanically echoed: "Yes, yes, it doesn't have to be the emperor!" The emperor is him, and he is a ...... of the heavens."
Jin Yongxiu originally wanted to beat Jin Yongkang, and even had the heart to kill him, if it weren't for this idiot who kept instigating the emperor to abandon Nanyang City and flee, how could the emperor be killed, and even be beheaded by a thief!
The fate of the dignified monarch of the kingdom and the royal conquest of his relatives, none of them can escape the ending of being liquidated by the heir to the throne!
The chamberlains and the women who were brought into Nanyang by the emperor were all called out and asked to identify the corpses, and all the moles and marks on the corpses were completely consistent with Emperor Taichang.
This result made Kim Yongkang and them dash even the last shred of hope.
"What to do? What to do? Jin Yongkang covered his ears and screamed in fear.
When it came to the end, Jin Yongxiu was very calm, he stared at Jin Yongkang, Zhang Yuqian and Zhang Yuqing with gloomy eyes, and said slowly: "The three of you are the ones who escorted the emperor out of Nanyang, and now that the emperor has died, what else do you three have to say?" ”
Sweetheart Theatre:
Night Rain: Oh my God, why are you on crutches?
Jin Yongkang: I was fooled and lame by Zhang Yuqing.
