Chapter 548: A Promise in This Life

Gently brushing aside the hair covering Luo'er's forehead with his hand, he stared at her sleeping delicate face, and his starry eyes were full of endless pity and love.

"Luo'er, Sister Xiangjun said that as long as Xiao Feng brings back the herbs she needs from Miao Jiang, she will be able to prepare an antidote that completely removes the residual poison in your body and will wake you up. It's just a pity that I'm leaving tomorrow, and I can't wait to see the moment you wake up-"

He held one of Luo'er's small hands in his slender palm and rubbed it gently, "If you wake up and I'm not by your side, Luo'er, will you blame me?"

In fact, at every time I parted, I swore to myself that if I could return to you, I would never be separated from you again. But each time, I failed to keep that promise.

And this time, I didn't even dare to say that promise again. Because I...... I really don't know if I can come back.

Luo'er, if I really can't come back, you're going to be very sad. But after being sad, I still hope that you can be happy. You know that the way you laugh has always been one of the best memories in my heart......"

As he spoke, he slowly leaned down and left a deep kiss on Lorle's tender lips.

Reluctantly let go of Luo'er's hand, and he stared at her silently for a long time before quietly withdrawing.

When he came to the courtyard outside, he found Hua Xiangjun standing there alone, quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sister Xiangjunβ€”"

He called softly, and hurriedly untied the black coat he was wearing outside, and draped it on Hua Xiangjun, who was only wearing a thin shirt and skirt.

Hua Xiangjun turned his head to look at him, his clear eyes full of worry and sadness.

"Daddy said you're leaving tomorrow, aren't you?"

A look of guilt flashed over his cold face, and he nodded silently.

"The reason why you want to hide it from me is because I'm afraid I'll stop you, right?"

Han Bing nodded silently again.

Hua Xiangjun's pretty face sank slightly, and he said with reproach: "Only Daddy and I know that with your current physical condition, you have only recovered thirty percent of your original internal strength.

But Daddy, he hadn't seen Duxiao Qiong, and he didn't know that the former Chiyang Sect Master could rely on his wedding clothes to continuously absorb the internal strength of others to improve his own skills.

So Daddy didn't know that this time you went to face off against Duxiaoqiong, which was tantamount to sending him to death!"

"Sister Xiangjun!"

Seeing that Hua Xiangjun's expression was wrong, Han Bing immediately knew that something was wrong, and couldn't help but defend himself with some trepidation, "Although my internal strength is not as good as before, it has been recovering rapidly.

And since the last time Duxiaoqiong absorbed too much internal force at once, so that he almost went mad, he shouldn't dare to take any more risks and absorb the internal force of others at will.

Besides, although he is also in Jinmen Pass, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the Yurong and Yurong countries in the middle, and I may not have a chance to go head-to-head with this former Chiyang Sect Master.

And Sister Xiangjun, you also know that there is a peerless master of Duxiao Qiong on the sidelines, which will pose a mortal threat to the generals of my Dayu army at all times.

Therefore, the main purpose of my visit there this time is to protect the personal safety of those generals so that the situation of the war will not change.

In addition, today I also got a very unfavorable news from that Zheng Yong's former confidant Jin Ming-

At the beginning, after Zheng Yong escaped from Jingyang, it turned out that he had been hiding in Yongzhou for a long time. During this period, he once sent people to survey a mountain pass adjacent to Beijung, seemingly looking for a legendary gorge. And it is said that the Beijung people are also looking for this gorge. ”

Listening, listening, Hua Xiangjun's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slowly, and he suddenly asked, "Is this Jin Ming's words credible? Why have I never heard anything about the Gorge Road from the Empress Dowager Yin or Yu Wengang?"

"Jin Ming was because his sister was controlled by Zheng Yong, so he had to obey the orders of that traitorous eunuch. Later, in Jishi Temple, he once helped me smash Zheng Yong's conspiracy to kill people and burn the temple, and I promised to find his sister for him.

I entrusted this matter to Uncle Qing, so he forced Zheng Yong, who had taken the Endless Pill, to ask about the whereabouts of Jin Ming's sister.

Not long ago, Jin Ming and his sister were finally reunited, so he sent someone to bring me a letter to express his gratitude. And in this epistle, he also mentions the Gorge.

So I think Jin Ming's message should be reliable. As for my sister, you haven't heard the relevant news from the Empress Dowager Yin and Yu Wengang, presumably because this matter is too secret, and none of them want to mention it in front of people easily.

It can be imagined that if this gorge really exists, then the Beijung people can use it to go around the back of our army and carry out a sneak attack. In this way, it is enough to completely change the tide of the battle, so that the Jinmen Pass is lost, and the Beirong Iron Cavalry can drive straight into and quickly occupy the northern border. ”

Hearing Han Bing's words, Hua Xiangjun also felt that the situation was serious.

She lowered her eyebrows and pondered for a moment before asking, "Since Zheng Yong knows about the Gorge Road, can you further ask him for more details?"

Han Bing shook his head helplessly, and said, "That traitor is not a hard bone! After only two nights of suffering, he could no longer endure the torture of the Endless Pill, and found an opportunity to commit suicide by hitting the wall." ”

When Hua Xiangjun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, "No matter how vicious people are, when retribution is on the horizon, they can't help but be afraid, and they dare not face the cruel methods they once ruthlessly inflicted on others!"

Han Bing knew that she thought of the Empress Dowager Yin who was entangled with her because of this, and was afraid that she would be depressed because of this, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Regarding the matter of the Gorge Road, I have sent a message to the Lord of the Snow Alliance. She is currently in Yongzhou, and she is leading the people of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance to fight against the Rong army together with the Northern Border Army.

I think with the manpower and strength of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, it should not be difficult to find that gorge and let the conspiracy of the Beirong people fall through!"

Hua Xiangjun nodded slowly, and looked at the cold ice silently for a long time before he said faintly: "I know that your mind has been decided, and no one can stop you from going to Jinmen Pass, let alone stopping you from going to Duxiao Dome."

I just hope that you don't forget the promise you made with me at the beginning - every spring, you will give me a willow branch that you have broken with your own hands!"

Han Bing suddenly grinned and said, "Sister, don't worry! Although this is an agreement we made when we were children, but the willow branches broken by Yu'er, my sister will definitely receive it every year!"

Speaking of this, his smile couldn't help but shrink slightly, and there was a little more solemnity in his voice, "But my sister also promised me that no matter what happens, you will not live away from the world and stay away from the red dust." ”

Hua Xiangjun smiled noncommittally, and said in a deep voice word by word: "If you keep the contract, I will keep my word." If you break your promise, I will break my word. ”

As she spoke, she took off the black coat she was wearing and draped it over her cold shoulders again.

Han Bing didn't speak, a pair of bright starry eyes drooped slightly, and silently watched Hua Xiangjun gently lift his toes and tie the big belt carefully for himself.

He suddenly grinned and said, "Okay, Sister Xiangjun, I promise you that you will make a promise in this life, and you will fulfill it in this life!"
