Chapter 241: The Balance of Three
Chu Zhongyue originally had a full chance of winning, but he had no chance of winning now.
Therefore, after more than a dozen rounds, when he watched the short knife in Ye Jinyi's hand stabbing straight towards his throat, he didn't dodge, but swung the big knife in his hand.
Wow β
Chu Zhongyue's knife flew past Ye Jinyi's sideburns, shooting rapidly behind her.
Behind her, the rope that tied the lives of two people.
Ye Jinyi's nerves tightened, and before her brain could react, her body took a step backwards, and she caught the handle of the knife before the blade cut the rope.
"Sister, be careful!"
The moment her hand grasped the hilt of the knife, a heavy slap also hit her in the back.
"Sister!"
The same moment she grasped the hilt, she quickly swirled the large knife in her hand, stabbing through the gap between her upper arm and her body.
Whewββ
"Poof-" Ye Jinyi was slapped by this slap and lay on the front of the iron ring, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the rusty giant ring covered with iron teeth. She tried her best to turn over, propped herself up with her elbows, and looked at Chu Zhongyue, who had been pierced through the abdomen by a big knife.
Chu Zhongyue's big knife was inserted into his right abdomen, he knelt on the ground, looked down at his knife, looked at his own reflection on the knife, and suddenly laughed twice: "What if you kill me? You still can't save them." β
Ye Jinyi didn't speak to him, but struggled to get up, walked to the left side of the hoop, and wrapped the rope on the left side of the hoop around his waist.
The rope on the left is tied to Ren Ziyu.
The rope in the center of the ring broke more due to the violent friction, and only the last small strand of rope was left to support the weight of Ji Ling.
"In the end, you can only save one. The corners of Chu Zhongyue's mouth were dripping with blood, although his life had come to an end, he still didn't forget to sarcastically mock Ye Jinyi.
If it was before, when Ye Jinyi was not injured, she might be able to hold two people at the same time with a rope in one hand.
But now it is absolutely impossible for the seriously injured Ye Jinyi to hold two men at the same time, if the rope is broken, she will replace Ji Ling at most to balance the weight of Ren Ziyu's side, and Ji Ling will definitely die.
Ye Jinyi didn't speak, but cut his belt with a short knife, and used his belt to tie the left rope around his waist in a dead knot.
In this way, Ren Ziyu's life is no longer restricted by the rope in the iron ring, because the rope that tied his life is now firmly tied to the waist of Ye Jinyi.
Ye Jinyi didn't stop, she took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the rope on the right side of the hoop, and hooked her foot on the hoop.
The sweat on her forehead kept dripping, but she didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, she was afraid that the moment she raised her hand, the rope would break, and Ji Ling would die.
Ren Ziyu and Ji Ling couldn't help but hold their breath, they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that a little noise would distract Ye Jinyi.
Smack-
The rope broke.
The force on Ye Jinyi's hands increased suddenly, and the strength in her hands was not enough, so the moment the rope was broken, the rope slid rapidly in her hands, and Ji Ling also fell a foot down.
But it's only this one foot.
"Ahh
Ye Jinyi held the rope that tied Ji Ling tightly, pulled it hard, and pulled Ji Ling up three feet, and in her hand, there was also an extra three feet of rope.
She tied the extra three feet of rope around her waist as well.
In this way, the rope that tied Ji Ling's life was also firmly tied around her waist.
There are iron hoops that can be used to make her barely be pulled into the air by the weight of two people. But she didn't stop there, she didn't think it was safe to hook the hoop with her foot, so she bent down, grasped the huge ring full of iron teeth tightly with her hand, and slowly released her foot.
Then, her whole body stood upside down in the pull of the rope and the iron ring.
In this way, it seemed as if her hand had replaced the middle rope, maintaining the balance between the three of them.
"You won't last long, sooner or later your hands will loosen. Chu Zhongyue looked at Ye Jinyi's bloody hand and said softly.
He didn't want to talk to Ye Jinyi so weakly, but the only strength he had now was being used to hang his life.
He was unwilling to die, he wanted to watch Ye Jinyi let go.
Ye Jinyi closed his eyes and said softly: "Although you are dying, your heart doesn't seem to be dead." β
She didn't want to speak weakly like this, but all her strength now was used to hold the iron ring, she could die, but her hand couldn't let go.
As a result, their conversation was like a whisper, and no one could hear them except the two of them.
"You hated Xie Qingge and killed her hatefully, because you thought she was unfaithful to you and gave birth to someone else's child. Ye Jinyi opened her eyes, looked at the reflection of Chu Zhongyue on the other side, and said softly.
Chu Zhongyue suddenly chuckled a few times, but he laughed intermittently, and then, he lowered his voice and said fiercely: "I hate her, I am so good to her, I give her everything, but she ......"
Ye Jinyi said word by word: "But she has never betrayed you." β
Chu Zhongyue's eyes suddenly became frightened, he wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up, so he could only hurriedly say, "Impossible." β
Ye Jinyi then said softly: "Chu Xiu is not her child either. β
Chu Zhongyue shook his head and said, "No, it is absolutely impossible. β
Ye Jinyi said again: "Zhao Li hates you, he hates your child so much that he wants your father and son to kill each other." β
The look of despair in Chu Zhongyue's eyes was even heavier, he just kept shaking his head, but he didn't have the strength, and the so-called shaking his head looked more like trembling.
"Because of suspicion, you killed your own wife and your brother, and in the end you didn't even know who your son was. Chu Zhongyue, have you been too much of a failure in your life. β
After hearing this, Chu Zhongyue suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then, his head fell down and never got up again.
Ye Jinyi looked at Chu Zhongyue, who seemed to be sitting upside down in his eyes, and finally a touch of sadness and sympathy finally flowed out of his eyes.
"Ah Ling, Ziyu, you must listen carefully to what I say next. She closed her eyes and raised her voice as best she could.
Smack-
It seemed that he had been sitting for too long, and the anxiety of waiting gradually turned into uneasiness, Wei Qingxiao wanted to stand up to relieve the uneasiness and anxiety that haunted his heart.
But before he could stand up, something on his body slipped from his waist and fell to the ground. When he saw the white fragments on the ground, the whole person froze in place.
It was the jade jue that Ye Jinyi gave him, and the jade jue engraved with the word "Linlang" was now broken in half and lying quietly on the ground.
Wei Qingxiao squatted down a little sluggishly, he picked up the pieces of Yu Jue, and put them together in a bit of a panic.
Hearing that the snow fell on the broken jade, he observed it for a long time, and then said, "That jade, there seems to be a gap." β
The originally extremely rounded arc-shaped edge of the jade jue was missing a small piece for some reason, and it looked like it was accidentally knocked off by something hard.
Wei Qingxiao rubbed his fingers on the gap for a long time, without saying a word.
He remembered that after Chu Zhongyue and Chu Yuntang escaped at the Martial Arts Conference, he had been led by Chu Yuntang to the secret passage of Shi Xing's room.
This jade was broken at that time.
At that time, he didn't know why he felt that he couldn't bear to kill Chu Zhongyue.
Maybe it's because he doesn't want Ye Jinyi to lose his fighting spirit because of Chu Zhongyue's death, or maybe there are other reasons.
So, he arranged for Chu Zhongyue and Chu Yuntang to dress up in disguise and escape from the besieged Songshan in the team that returned to Tokyo from the Boundless Mountain Villa.
Now that I think about it, it seems that everything was predestined.
The misfortune seems to have been planted by his own hands at that time.
Seeing that Wei Qing was smiling and not speaking, he said to himself: "I have always felt that the relationship between the three of you is very delicate, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a slightly more appropriate analogy." β
"What?" Wei Qingxiao still looked at the jade in his hand.
Through the jade, he seemed to see the clumsy self of Mu Ne thirteen years ago, and saw the well-behaved and kind night brocade clothes thirteen years ago.
At that time, Ye Jinyi was not called Ye Jinyi, she was called Yu Zhanyan.
At that time, she obviously preferred begonias, but she still had to compete and say that she liked red plums.
Wen Ren Luoxue said: "The two of them were trapped on the cliff together, and Ye Jinyi grabbed the rope you threw down. As long as you pull her up, she will be saved. β
Wei Qing smiled and clenched the broken jade, and looked sideways at Wenren Falling Snow.
Didn't he keep pulling her up, but why wasn't she saved?
Hearing that people were falling into the snow, he seemed to see through Wei Qing's idea of laughing, and he continued: "But she was reluctant to leave Chu Xiu Fei alone in danger, so she pulled Chu Xiu Fei with her other hand. She thought it would last long, but she forgot that your strength can't hold two people at the same time. Once your strength is exhausted, then the last person to fall off the cliff is three people. β
Everything in front of Ye Jinyi's eyes was already very blurry, she didn't know how much time had passed, she only knew that she could barely feel the presence of her hands and body.
Ji Ling and Ren Ziyu had been calling her loudly, their voices trembling violently, full of fear and worry. What they fear is not that she will let go, what they fear is that she will close her eyes forever.
However, the sound faded to her ears, and she could only hear the incessant roar, which made her head dizzy and drowsy.
Squeak β
The door to Ren's Pavilion opened again.
"Show your face!"
The familiar voice came into Ye Jinyi's ears, like a sudden deafening piano whistle in the chaotic noise, which made her gradually weakened nerves return to clarity little by little.
She struggled to open her eyes, and saw a familiar figure running towards her against the light, step by step, getting closer and closer.
I don't know why, Ye Jinyi's eyes suddenly flashed in front of his eyes the book he liked to read when he was young, and there was a hero in armor with a sword in hand, and that hero would always appear in the most dangerous moments, saving people from fire and water.
Eleven years ago, she thought that Chu Xiu Fei would be that hero, but she was wrong.
But eleven years later, at this moment, Ye Jinyi seems to have seen the shadow of the hero he admired when he was young on this figure that is getting closer and closer.
He might be late, but he'll come.
That's enough, Ye Jinyi thought.
