Chapter 70: Nothingness
The night breeze was breezy, with the coldness of the Huangshui River in the distance, which made the market town sleeping under the moonlight a little more chilly.
This should have been a bustling population gathering place, but the wind passing through the streets carried endless sadness.
Yan Yun came out of Fenglindu, and before he had time to change into clean clothes, he rushed to his only home now, Taiping County Ya.
There was not the slightest joy in his eyes after killing Li Ao, only an anxiety and expectation rolled repeatedly in his heart.
After absorbing all the domesticated souls in Li Ao's blood-colored soul banner, his Nether Soul Banner was upgraded again, and his ability to drive the Nether Mist was unmatched compared to before.
In just half an hour, he rushed from Fenglindu to the gate of the county office, staring at the silent gate of the county office.
He really wanted to go to the backyard of the county government to see Zoe and his parents-in-law, uncle and others as soon as possible, but he was timid.
He was weak and afraid, and after experiencing the death of his father and brother and the beheading of General Wuwei's mansion, he realized that he was so afraid of losing.
Finally, he swept up lightly, climbed over the county yamen building that was a little high, and stood on the eaves at the junction of the front hall and the back yard.
He looked around condescendingly, and after a few months of absence, he felt a strangeness to the courtyard, where he had only briefly stayed.
But he still recognized the small courtyard behind the green trees, and the warmth of the newlywed was vivid, and this courtyard left a deep imprint of him and Zoe holding hands on the snow and appreciating the plums.
The small courtyard in front of the partial house is full of fallen leaves, and it has obviously not been cleaned for a long time.
The door was opened a crack, and there was no light inside, which was obviously abnormal, how could a woman who lived alone sleep without closing the door?
Before returning home, Yan Yun still retained a hope in his heart, and this situation made him feel cold all over his body.
He pushed open the door and walked in, lighting the oil lamp with the fire on the table.
The living room was full of dust, and the fallen leaves on the floor tiles were foggy in the night breeze.
He walked towards his bedroom with the oil lamp, and the moment the door opened, a festive atmosphere filled his face.
The red bedding and pillowcases, as well as the chairs and tables, were covered with red cloth, exactly like the wedding room before he left.
The door of the cupboard was open, and several men's clothes and children's jackets fell to the floor, as if the mistress of the room was busy with her work, but she was so frightened that she had not time to pick them up.
In the cabinet are more children's clothes, covering the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, including several pairs of tiger head shoes.
Is Zoe pregnant?
Yan Yun's heart shook wildly, and an irrepulsible sadness filled his eyes, and even moistened and blurred......
"Zoe...... Madame ......" Yan Yun held a tiger head shoe and shouted loudly, her voice trembling.
Like crazy, he rushed out of the room and went straight to the main courtyard of his father-in-law, Zuo Gao.
While he was still outside the door, he saw by the moonlight that there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the floor of the hall where the banquet was being held inside the door......
In despair, he walked up the steps, stepped through the door, and found several figures he was familiar with.
There are Mr. and Mrs. Sataka, Mr. and Mrs. Sako, children, maids, and maids......
They have been dead for a long time, unrecognizable, and if not judging by their clothing, it is even difficult to identify them......
There was also a man wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes, and the hem of the skirt was close to the abdomen with a blur of flesh......
Li Ao didn't give the Zuo family any chance to live, and judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it had been at least a month.
Zoe's blood-stained abdomen revealed that she was pregnant and pregnant with Yanyun's child.
Therefore, in the days of waiting for her husband's return, she sewed clothes, shoes and socks for him, and prepared a full set of clothes for the little life in her womb.
"Zoe, parents-in-law, ......"
Yan Yun knelt straight on the ground, bowed his head, his forehead collided with the ground, and the muffled bang was endless, like beating a drum......
Soon, blood and tears blinded his red eyes......
A thin quilt wrapped around Zoe's once soft body, and Yan Yun hugged her tightly to her chest.
In the partial room, the candles in the cave room that night are still vivid, but they are no longer human!
He folded the quilt, hugged Zoe's body and lay down, and finally cried.
However, this woman who brought him the first beautiful thing in his life can never wake up.
No one could understand his remorse and bitterness at the moment...... Apathy......
What is the king side by side, what Zhenguo Gong, what Wuwei general, these so-called titles are meaningless in the face of life and death.
What is Huagai life, what is the seven killings, and what is a natural monk?
He was at a loss in his heart, was this person himself, and he couldn't imagine that Yu Zhenzi would become a prophecy.
Along the palm prints, imprinted with fate!
Three days later, on the highest mountain in Taiping County, Yan Yun knelt in front of the simple tombstones standing one by one, offering wine and food.
He buried his relatives here that night, and worshiped them every day with wine and meat, and accompanied him day and night.
Unconsciously, on the treetops of the moon, he raised his head to gaze at the moon that was about to disappear into the clouds, just like he had been a teenager.
He was waiting, the anger in his heart had long since cooled, but an irrepressible cruelty and bloodlust were spreading endlessly in his mind.
Murder pays for life, blood debt and blood pay!
Finally, three horsemen and horses galloped towards the pass of this mountain, and the sound of horses' hooves frightened away the night owl, and also lifted the spirit of Yan Yun in contemplation.
And they came!
The three horsemen on the official road, dressed in the costumes of the Dayu Palace, were the three eunuchs who had surrounded Yanyun.
They have been patrolling the river in Fenglindu for the past three days, trying to find Li Ao's figure, but the more they look, the more frightened they become, and the more they look, the more frightened they become.
For three days, Li Ao has not shown up, and he is obviously more than lucky.
They could only return to the royal city and report to their master, Li Du, and it was hard to imagine how they would face Li Du's thunderous wrath.
They also thought about escaping, but where could they go?
Although the world is big, it is all the territory of Dayu, and Li Du is the one who has mastered the royal order.
If they don't go back, they will face the risk of being exterminated by the Nine Clans, which is not a consequence that they dare to bear.
At this moment, a vague figure landed in the middle of the official road, and looked at them with the same gaze as if it were a dead person.
"It's him!" A eunuch exclaimed.
"Catch him!" Another eunuch shouted.
The three soul flags were held in their hands, and there were about two hundred souls in each soul flag, and this one was suddenly released, and suddenly the wind gusted, and the green trees and grass froze, like the seasons suddenly rotated, and the clouds fell under the Yanyun cover.
As soon as Yan Yun flicked the sleeves of his robe, the souls of the dead were like carps crossing the river, swarming out of the sleeves of his robe, covering the top of Yan Yun's head in the blink of an eye.
The souls suddenly dispersed again, condensing a layer of glittering ice from under his feet, and more than 2,000 souls were pressing towards the three of them!
Ice collides with ice, revenant souls hedge with revenant souls, the state of superiority and disadvantage, suddenly see the difference!
More than 600 revenant souls were powerless in front of more than 2,000 revenant souls, and with just one face, they retracted into the soul banners of the three eunuchs in a languishing manner.
Probably because a new ghost king was born in Yan Yun's soul flag, and the soul flag made by the eunuchs belonged to a different ghost king system, although the soul flag summoned by the three eunuchs was not a single ghost, it did not merge with the soul flag held by Yan Yun.
At this time, the three eunuchs were already colorless, and they wanted to run but it was too late, they were imprisoned by the huge force and could not move.
Cold sweat seeped from their sideburns, teeth touched against each other, and even breathing didn't seem so smooth.
However, they saw Yan Yun's face calm, walking slowly on the ice.
One step at a time, as if death was near.
"General Yan, spare ...... life"
"General Yan, we are just acting on orders, not trying to be the enemy of the general......"
"The general's wife, children and relatives were all done by Li Ao, and they have nothing to do with us......"
Yan Yun said indifferently: "The souls in your banner, each one represents a life, when you first heard them beg for mercy, did you have any compassion?" ”
"General, we are forced, and it is all done by the Li father and son."
The three eunuchs only remembered to beg for mercy when they were in great trouble, but it was too late to say anything, and Yan Yun no longer had any mercy in his heart.
Yan Yun dragged the three eunuchs off their horses one by one, and at the same time grabbed the three soul flags in his hands, and included more than 600 dead souls in his soul flags.
The Wraith Soul Banner sent a message to Yan Yun's mind that the capacity of the Soul Banner was about to reach its upper limit.
How to continue to upgrade and expand the Soul Flag, Yan Yun didn't know, and he didn't care at the moment.
The three eunuchs had been liberated from their confinement at this time, their hearts were weak, their legs and stomachs were weak, and they still struggled to run towards the three forests.
But they don't have the protection of the soul flag, they are ordinary mortals, in front of a fierce general like Yan Yun, like a young child is more adult.
Yan Yun was disdainful of the three of them running away like soft-footed shrimps, and instead took out the chain hammer from the soul flag and looked at a strong tree on the side of the road where the three of them hugged together.
He leapt to his feet and slammed his hammer at it, and the branches of the tree that stretched down the road were bare, leaving only a few mottled and powerful branches.
Then, Yan Yun suddenly got up and grabbed the back of a running eunuch.
Three miserable howls came from the three bloody people hanging on the branches, and the blood seeped down their gorgeous clothes, and the blood sprinkled on the official road like a spring.
All three of them were pierced through the abdomen by the branches, like chickens and ducks drying in the air, and they couldn't die for a while, screaming and struggling in horror and pain!
Yan Yun was standing under the tree, his eyes were so cold that he couldn't see a trace of emotional fluctuations, and even looked a little wooden and nervous.
After a long time, Yan Yun looked up blankly, and at this time, the screaming had already stopped, and the heads of the three eunuchs were drooping, lifeless.
Afterwards, Yan Yun put the souls of the three into the soul flag, jumped on horseback, and went straight to the direction of Fenglindu.
After running for about three miles, he came to his senses again, and the speed of the horses was too slow for him to be necessary.
He gazed at the hill at night again, and the situation of Zoe's family sending him to the royal city came back to his mind.
"General, come back early......"
At that time, Zoe held her head high, smiling and reluctant to part.
"Yes, this is my home."
At that time, he responded to the gentle Zoe like this.
He saw a group of people beckoning to him in the sun, and when he tried to raise his hand in response, his eyes were dark, and only the moonlight was like water, shining on the extreme loneliness in his heart.
It turns out that what this world has left to the world is nothingness!
