Volume 1 In the Human World 029 - The Fallen Sacred Tree
Ying Tianjiao's face was ugly.
Yun Luochen, who he had been chasing all night, was standing in front of him at this time, but he couldn't move him a bit.
Yun Luochen's face was also ugly, he finally rescued Gao Fei, who knew that it had only been a while, and the person was gone.
The sword he was holding in his hand was now stuck in the scabbard behind his back, replaced by a short blade less than four inches, which was now against Nangong Yue's throat.
"Take a woman as a shield, what kind of hero are you, you still looked righteous and awe-inspiring just now, and now you haven't done such a thing?"
"Don't talk nonsense, where is my third brother?" Yun Luochen ignored Ying Tiancalypse at all, he firmly believed that Gao Fei must have been captured and hidden by Yingtian Tribulation, maybe worse, maybe he had already been poisoned.
Ying Tianqi was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "What did you say?"
"You don't pretend to be garlic!" Gao Fei shouted angrily, "If you don't hand over my third brother again, I'll kill her!"
He deliberately put the knife on Nangong Yue's throat and shook it lightly a few times, "Do what I say!"
Ying Tianjiao's expression immediately became flustered, "Don't mess around! I chased you all the way here, and I didn't see Gao Fei!"
"Gao Fei, what are you talking about?" Nangong Yue was already stunned, but when she heard the conversation between the two people, she couldn't help but ask.
She only saw Ying Tianjiao with the cavalry following the team when the family sending team left, after getting into the carriage, she never saw this team of people again, but now she saw Ying Tianjiao with the cavalry coming from the opposite direction, it is not difficult to guess that these people must have secretly left the family sending team halfway.
What are they going to do after being gone for so long?
Although she didn't know why Bai Yunluochen suddenly hijacked her, she looked at him with a fierce look, and it didn't look like a joke, and she had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Princess, it seems that you still don't know what this Marquis Yingling, who has always been in love with you, did behind your back. ”
Yun Luochen glanced at Ying Tiancao, and sneered: "He really can do anything for you, and he actually dares to privately mobilize troops to plot to assassinate Gao Fei, the monarch of Southern Chu, and sabotage the marriage between the two countries." Princess, don't forget, Ying Linghou has an inseparable relationship with you for committing such crimes, should you also be responsible for this matter and bear part of the guilt for him?"
Ying Tianjiao was really anxious, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!
Nangong Yue listened to Yun Luochen's words, and then she fully understood, and at this time, she couldn't care that she still had a sharp knife around her neck, and said angrily: "Ying Tianjiao, you are so bold!
Ying Tianjiao suddenly shook his head sadly, looked at Nangong Yue bitterly and said: "Yue'er, we grew up together since childhood, don't you know what kind of person I am? Do you really think that I will be willing to be such a villain? Without the instructions of others, how can I use such indiscriminate means to kill people?"
Hearing this, Yun Luochen and Nangong Yue's faces changed, and they said in unison: "What did you say?"
Ying Tianjiao snorted coldly, looked at Yun Luochen and said: "Yes, I do want to kill Gao Fei, but if I want to kill him myself, I will never use this method, as a noble marquis, I will compete with him openly!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Nangong Yue again, "Yue'er, think about it, without your father's secret order, can I mobilize the most elite Saint Silver Iron Cavalry of Qingqiu Country to carry out this kind of assassination mission?"
Nangong Yue was stunned, and almost subconsciously retorted: "Impossible! Father won't do this, he won't ...... me like this" But perhaps because of her weak heart, her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she was almost inaudible.
Although Yun Luochen was shocked in his heart, he thought about the ins and outs of the matter carefully, and found that what Ying Tianjiao said was indeed the most likely situation.
Now Yun Luochen finally understands that what Nangong Yu really wants is Gao Fei's life!
No wonder he would send himself as an envoy to Lingqiu City, no wonder he agreed to the request of Ying Tiancao's escort in the court that day, all of this was premeditated!
Yun Luochen only felt a burst of anger surging in his heart, what a descendant of the Yun family, you are just a pawn to use me, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
The knife in his hand against Nangong Yue's throat couldn't help but tighten, and the blade had almost pierced into Nangong Yue's snow-white skin.
Nangong Yue let out a painful groan.
With this call, Yun Luochen's hand immediately loosened, he didn't want to really hurt Nangong Yue, although he hated Nangong Yu to the bone at this time, but it was really not a gentleman's act to vent his anger by hurting someone's defenseless daughter.
Ying Tianjiao couldn't observe these details on this dark and rainy night, he only heard Nangong Yue's cry of pain, and immediately scolded: "Yun Luochen, you vicious villain!
"Yun Luochen, let me tell you, you obstruct the king's plan, and dare to kidnap the princess, you are the real traitor! If you are obsessed and hurt the princess, the king will use the power of the country to hunt you down, and when the time comes, there will be no place for you to stand anywhere in the Southern Chu Kingdom and Qingqiu Kingdom!"
Yun Luochen listened to the threat of Ying Tiancao, knowing that the other party was already upset, and at this time he still didn't admit Gao Fei's whereabouts, maybe he really didn't know where Gao Fei went.
Thinking of this, Yun Luochen didn't want to entangle himself here, but now he was a tiger, and it was an unforgivable sin to kidnap the princess of a country no matter what it was.
What's more, if what Ying Tianjiao just said is the truth, it means that Nangong Yu can't be on his side, and being an enemy of the monarch means that he is an enemy of the entire country.
At this time, Yun Luochen could only go to the dark by one way, he grabbed Nangong Yuefei on the horse, turned the horse's head and ran towards the north, and dropped a sentence before leaving:
"If I die, she will die too! If you don't believe me, just catch up and try!"
Now that the Southern Chu Kingdom and the Qingqiu Kingdom can't stay, the only place he can think of is the nearest Wuxian Country.
He even had a trace of illusion in his heart, because there was a highly respected sword saint Ling Yuan in Wuxian Kingdom, who was once Gao Fei's old friend, and if Gao Fei left by himself, he might also go to Wu Xianguo to find him.
But what he didn't know was that the arrow of the Ying Heavenly Tribulation had blinded Gao Fei forever, and he couldn't discern the direction at all, let alone flee alone.
Boundless darkness.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, a narrow bolt of lightning struck from the sky, almost illuminating the dim rainy night as bright as day.
But in Goofy's eyes, it was still pitch black.
He staggered through the night of the pouring rain, and the deafening thunder and thunder after the lightning just now sounded in his ears, and he suddenly remembered that a few months ago, the killing night in Yunding City was exactly the same thunderstorm as tonight.
"Is this retribution?" Goofy smiled bitterly in his heart.
He walked with difficulty, aimlessly. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know where he could go.
The only thing he wanted to do was to run, and the farther away he could, the better.
He could feel that the left half of his face was no longer perceptible, and even if he survived, that half of his face would be necrotic and rotten, not to mention, he had become a useless blind man.
With such a high flying, what face does he have to see people, and how can he face his former old friends, relatives and friends? He is the king of the Southern Chu Kingdom, a king, how can he be like this?
He is a genius boy who has been famous all over the world since he was a teenager, and now he has ended up like this, what face does he have to face the world again, and how can he survive in the world?
He had no choice but to escape. Far away from his brothers, comrades-in-arms, and the girl who has cared about him all his life.
"Qianyuan, I'm sorry, this time, I'm afraid we'll never see each other again......"
The rain kept falling, and he didn't know how long he walked forward, until there was no way out in front of him, and he felt that his life had come to an end.
Finally, he stepped into the air and plunged into an icy lake.
He got into it, and never got up again.
So be it, he thought, so that they would never find him again, and no one would see his miserable death.
He stretched out his hand and grasped the arrow, the arrow had already sunk deep into his eye socket, and Yun Luochen did not dare to pull it out at first, for fear of tearing the wound, but causing him to bleed to death, and he himself was seriously injured, and his internal force was scattered, and he had no strength to pull it out.
But now he suddenly felt stronger.
"Perhaps, this is the return to the light. He thought to himself.
He felt that he should pull out the arrow, and he didn't want this thing that had ruined his life to follow him to the underworld.
With almost no force, he actually pulled the arrow out, as if it could sense his inner thoughts and leave his body.
Although the arrow left his body, he felt like he was one with the arrow.
He could even feel the arrow pull out of his eye socket and tear a piece of flesh from his face, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, he could only feel his empty eye socket as if it were a bottomless hole, and the lake kept pouring into it.
He thought that before he died, the experience of this life would come to his mind, but at this time, there was nothing in his mind except a figure.
This figure is graceful and elegant, she has a perfect face and a pair of charming eyes.
What a beautiful pair of eyes they were, and he couldn't forget them ever since he saw them for the first time in the Demon Forest. The eyes were dreamy and misty, as if they were speaking to him those things that he had just said not long ago:
"It's not too early, it's time for me to go, my dad is still looking forward to my coming home." ”
"Would you like to sit a little longer, just a little longer. ”
"Okay, why do you look like a big girl who squirms, I know that you are about to win the battle, and when you come back to Diyun City, don't we still have a lot of time?"
"Yes, we still have a lot of time. Then go home quickly, and don't let your dad worry too much. ”
"Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm not in a hurry, I want to watch you go. ”
"It's okay, I watched you go last time, and this time it's time for you to see me go. ”
"Yes, that's fair. ”
"Then I'm leaving. ”
"Go ahead. ”
She's gone.
......
"Why is it foggy this morning, or I'll be able to see her a few more times......
He thought regretfully, and at last, an infinite amount of weariness came over him, engulfing him along with the dim waters of the lake.
A huge lightning bolt once again swept through the sky, like a long knife of a god, cutting the dim and boundless night sky in half, and not only that, but it also fell on a towering tree on the border of the Southern Chu State, bordering the Ba Snake Tribe.
It was one of the three immortal pen trees that were worshiped as a sacred tree by the people of Southern Chu State.
Thunder roared across the land.
The blazing fire sank into the ground from the treetops, this tree that had existed for hundreds of years and was considered by the people to be the sacred tree that blessed the Southern Chu Kingdom, so it was divided into two and fell to the ground with a bang.
In an inn in Diyun City, Lin Qianyuan, who was still asleep, was suddenly awakened by this thunder that shook the heavens and the earth, she sat up suddenly, holding her heart with both hands, for some reason, she suddenly felt a terrible heartache.
