MTL - Disaster For the Country · Return Journey-Chapter 27 sin (1)

"Yishu is different from Yifei. Yifei only hates King Cheng, not Luwan. On the contrary, this is his hometown, and what he thinks about day and night is how to change it and make it a lovable place. But for Yishu, Luwan witnessed her humiliation in the first half of her life, and her pain was branded in many places. She hates this place. She hopes to leave here. Or, she hopes to destroy this place.” In the teahouse , Xue Cai and Pin Congmu also quickly guessed some truths, and you started to speculate with a glance.

"So, blowing up the left and right gates and trapping the palace is only the first step."

"Everyone knows that prophecy. At this moment, their attention is all on the earthquake on the left and right gates, and they will ignore other things. For example - the gate of Luwan is closed at this moment."

***

The main east gate of Luwan City, where Yang Hui and Yang Shuo's father and son confronted each other, was staged yesterday, and it is now tightly closed. The divine cavalry stationed outside the city did not move, because they didn't need to move at all. They did not enter the city, but sealed the city gates, using martial law as an excuse to prevent the people from entering the city again. The same is true for the other three city gates.

In Luwan City, everyone flocked to the left and right gates, busy to save people from their difficulties.

In the palace, the Habayashi Army caught off guard and the Banner Army who was abandoned were actively trying to save themselves and try to get out of trouble.

Not far from the coastline, the 500 acres of elevated alfalfa fields that had been polluted suddenly collapsed.

The Dingling banner buried under the southwest sea area exploded at the same time. The sea water poured against the current again, rushing towards Luwan with the momentum of thunder.

The originally sunny day suddenly darkened.

***

The thread on Yuan Su's neck also ceased to shine in an instant, and the sky was covered with thick clouds, and the wind howled, making his and her clothes and hair flutter like claws and claws.

A smile finally appeared on his calm face: "It's started."

Qiu Jiang looked past him and landed on Luwan City under the pagoda. The imperial palace was on fire. Under the gloomy sky, the giant snake came back to life again, with two red pupils jumping and burning, trying to devour everything.

"Why don't you go?" Qiu Jiang couldn't help asking, "The Queen deserves your burial for her crazy plan?"

If Yishu's plan is to destroy the entire Luwan, why is Yuan Su, her favorite subject, still in the city at this moment? Of course, if he also followed, Yi Fei and the others would be vigilant and would not enter the palace according to the original plan.

"Your Majesty treats me like a national soldier, and I will repay it to the death. People like you don't understand."

Qiu Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "What kind of person am I? What kind of person am I?"

"You are a monster carefully cultivated by Ruyimen. You have wiped out all people's hearts, leaving only greed, cruelty, and unscrupulousness..."

Qiu Jiang was supposed to be angry, but every time Yuan Su said something, her eyes deepened. In the end, she laughed and said slowly, "So... you were waiting for me."

Yuan Su's gaze flickered, and he suddenly turned his face away: "No."

"You have a grudge against me?"

"No."

"You don't hesitate to help the queen kill 30,000 people, and your hands are covered with blood, and you insist on staying here to witness everything with your own eyes at the last moment. Is it because of me?"

Yuan Su said in a deep voice: "If you keep talking nonsense, your friends will really die."

The palace is still burning, and I don't know what happened to the people inside.

But Qiu Jiang didn't look at it at all, just stared at Yuan Su and said, "The sea water is pouring back, how to solve it?"

Yuan Su said indifferently: "There is no solution."

"Any array has an eye, destroying it can break the array."

"Even if you break the formation, it's too late. Borrowing the momentum of the sea, the sea is coming, and it is beyond human power to stop it." Yuan Su said here, pointing to the city gate in the southwest direction, vaguely seeing the tsunami as a giant ever-expanding The monsters rushed over in waves, and each time they charged, their stature became bigger and bigger, and they could also see the black crowd fleeing like ants. However, their speed is as slow as ants, and sooner or later they will be overtaken by the tsunami.

I have to say that there is no better place than the Star Observation Tower if you want to see the ultimate tragedy in this world.

Qiu Jiang pulled the wire tighter: "Let me ask again, where is the eye?"

Yuan Su's eyes fell on the iron wire, staring at it, as if staring at the love of his life, his gaze was gentle. Then, moving a little bit along the wire, looked at Qiu Jiang.

"Madam Ruyi." He said, "Do you want to save these 30,000 people? People like you want to save people?"

Qiu Jiang thought for a while and replied, "Only by saving them can we save ourselves."

"That's right." Yuan Su nodded, and then said, "Kill me."

Qiu Jiang's eyes tightened.

Yuan Su's expression returned to calm again, calmly without any waves: "Luwan will sink. And you will die."

He really wants to die by my hands, no, or rather, his purpose is to lure me here, to watch me die with my own eyes.

Why?

who is he? Why do you hate me so much?

***

"Sir, the gate of the city is indeed sealed, you can't get out!" the waiter came back to report.

Pin Congmu frowned.

The waiter took out a book from his bosom and said, "Besides, there are only so many records about Qiulu Pavilion."

Meng Changqi stared at the book, his expression changed slightly.

Pin Congmu picked up the book, with the words "Qiu Lu Guan" written on the cover, and began to flip through it. After Xue Cai turned his head to look at it for a few times, he glanced at Meng Changqi: "The Qiulu Pavilion collapsed last time, it seems that you are responsible for it."

Meng Changqi was startled.

"It says that you were recommended by Li Chen to Gongshuwa...Li Chen, this name sounds familiar." Xue Cai pondered.

Meng Changqi's face twitched uncontrollably, hoping that Xue Cai would not remember, but unfortunately, Xue Cai still remembered, and very quickly: "Ah, it's Xie Liu's fiancé who died of illness."

Pin Congmu raised his eyes from the book, stared at Meng Changqi and said, "You stole the gunpowder formula from Qiulu Hall, and presented it to the Queen through Yuan Su's hands, so that the Queen can blow up the Katydid Mountain?"

Xue Cai looked at Pin Congmu: "Didn't you and Yishu co-plan the bombing of Katydid Mountain?"

"She will deal with the gunpowder, and Yishu didn't want to go into details. Although I sent someone to keep an eye on it, I didn't find it so detailed." And at that time, he was still in a hurry to go to Yujing to deal with another Qinchun plan.

Xue Cai stopped studying and continued to speculate: "After passing through the Katydite Mountain incident, Yishu trusted Yuan Su more and more, so he entrusted today's situation to him to arrange."

"So Yuan Su had actually known Yishu long before he entered the city, and the Jushui formation was their own directing and acting, which laid the groundwork for today's events."

"The hot springs are sealed off on the surface, but the digging continues. The farmland is filled on the surface, but the foundation is shaken. The white flags are set on the surface, but the gunpowder is actually buried..." Xue Cai clenched his fists, looking out the window at the crowd who did not know the disaster had come, his eyes flickering Mie, "Damn it!"

Pin Congmu said decisively: "You leave here quickly!"

"And you?"

"I can't go yet."

Meng Changqi suddenly laughed loudly: "I can't leave! No one can leave! You will all die! You will all be buried with me and Jianjian!"

"Yuan Su really wants to meet you?" Xue Cai asked suddenly.

Meng Changqi immediately shut his mouth. But it was too late, Xue Cai looked at Pin Congmu and said: "Bring the documents of Li Chen's family."

"Don't look, you go! Ride on my horse, take your people, go!" Pin Congmu grabbed Xue Cai's hand and walked out.

Xue Cai stared straight at him: "What about you?"

"They are in a hurry, and one year is too short. Although they can destroy the leylines and attract seawater, it is not a real natural disaster after all. The seawater seems to be turbulent, but there is no power to follow. If you deal with it properly, you can have a chance of survival." The crowd outside the street took a look and smiled slightly, "I stay here, and I will live as long as I can."

This smile is like a pearl and beautiful jade, shining brightly.

Xue Cai stared at his face and suddenly thought, if the young master had not died, he must have looked like this man when he was old.

This thought softened and changed his heart for a moment. He stopped suddenly, held Pin Congmu's hand instead and said, "I'll stay and help you."

"Don't be stupid."

"You and Ji Hu are both here. If the young master knows in heaven, he must hope that I will stay and help you."

"When did you miss your short-lived son so much?"

Xue Cai's eyes darkened for a moment, and the weak emotions could not be controlled, and she poured out: "Maybe it's because I'm in Luwan." The moonlight here is very annoying. Whenever he is photographed, it reminds him of Ji Ying.

I think of what Ji Ying said, "Under the moonlight, there should be someone you care about".

I think of what Ji Ying said, "In the vast world, among all living beings, there is always one person who is different from you."

Pin Cong looked at him, and suddenly reached out to touch his head.

Xue Cai subconsciously wanted to knock off that hand, but in the end she didn't move, letting the hand land on his hair and stroking it lightly.

This was the first time someone touched Ji Ying's head after his death.

Touch the head of a nine-year-old.

***

In the imperial palace, the water tank filled with water was quickly emptied, but the fire did not stop, and with the strong wind, it gradually became more and more intense.

Yi Fei fought the fire with all the soldiers, seeing that they were dying, many of them gave up exhaustedly.

He was angry, and kicked a lazy guy who fell on the ground: "Get up, continue!"

"What are you going on? The water is gone! How can we put out the fire without water?"

"If you want me to say, let's burn it. After the burning is over, everyone can go out. Fortunately, the palace is large and there are many open spaces. If we squeeze together, no one will be burned."

"Yes, yes, it will be fine once the house burns down."

"Look at the strong wind, maybe it will rain later, and it won't burn if it rains..."

Seeing that everyone was chattering more and more depressed, Yi Fei secretly sighed, and turned to look for the commander of the Yulin Army: "Why hasn't the cloud flute appeared yet?"

The commander of the Habayashi Army said impatiently: "Who knows! Maybe I left with the Queen."

Yifei's heart skipped a beat—a lot of details that he hadn't thought of were linked together at this moment: Why did the Ma family and the Zhou family chase after Yundi every day to have a son? How did the news get out? Why did the Ma family and the Zhou family frequently make trouble in front of Yishu, but Yishu didn't deal with it? Why did the cloud flute not appear today?

All of this was discussed between him and Yishu!

He deliberately released news to make the Ma family and Zhou family confirm that his son was in his hands, and then instigated the two families to make trouble in front of his house, making it look like he was forced to go out. In fact, he made secret preparations, ostensibly handed over part of the Habayashi Army to Yi Fei, but actually left with Yi Shu with the real army.

When Yifei thought he could enter the palace smoothly with his help, he actually stepped into the trap set by him and Yishu and kept him in the palace clearly!

Why did Yundi insist on Yun Xingshan to participate in the selection of Wang Husband?

To make Yi Fei feel at ease—you see, my younger brother will enter the palace with you at that time, so rest assured.

Why does Yundi want to indulge Yun Shining everywhere?

In order to let Yi Fei think that he loves this younger brother very much. Even if I don't save you, I will save my brother. How can I sacrifice him?

But the truth of the matter is: Yun Xingshan is just Yundi's abandoned son.

The person who can betray the first time can betray the second and third times... and there is only one object of Yundi's allegiance: Yishu.

Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, Yi Fei felt a chill in his heart. After a while, he laughed self-deprecatingly—

Forget it, the skills are not as good as others, and the defeat is convincing.

However, losing does not mean death. It's not that easy to want me to die, Yishu.

Thinking of this, Yi Fei leaped forward and ran towards a certain place.

***

Pin Congmu put his hand on Xue Cai's hair, and there was a lot of love in his eyes, but a little sadness.

Then, Xue Cai's body suddenly softened.

Pin Congmu caught him softly. Xue Cai looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief, but only had time to take a look, then closed his eyes and passed out.

The face as big as a palm, once the eyes are closed and everything beyond age is restrained, it becomes a real child's face.

Pin Congmu looked at the child in his arms, and smiled with his lips curled up: "Your future is long, it's not worth betting here."

He snapped his fingers, and immediately four Jinmen soldiers appeared: "Escort him away. If he can live, you can live too."

The dead warriors looked at each other, knelt down and kowtowed together, then hurried away with Xue Cai on their backs.

Pin Congmu snapped his fingers again, and more Jinmen soldiers in black appeared. He looked around at these well-trained young people who were always living in the dark, and smiled: "You have received many missions, killing people, cheating people... Today, try to save people?"

At this time, the first wave broke through all obstacles, and finally rushed to the west city gate, crashing into the city wall more than ten feet high with a bang, adding thunder to the capital city that was still shocked by the fire at the left and right gates.

***

Yi Fei plundered into Qiongchi Palace.

At this moment, there was no one in the hall, only the half-torn golden silk curtain kept swinging with the wind, waiting helplessly for the fate of being finally swallowed by the fire.

Yi Fei rushed to the phoenix couch of the chief seat, groped on it, and suddenly felt something, and pressed it down.

After a few clicks, a secret door appeared on the north wall.

Yi Fei's heart stabilized a little - this was one of the many secret passages that his father had pruned in the palace back then, to meet privately with people from Ruyimen. He happened to know a few of them. When it was confirmed that Yishu would choose her husband to have a banquet here, he thought that there was a secret passage leading to Ningshu Palace—and Ningshu Palace was the residence of Princess Yishu in the palace.

From today's point of view, Yishu actually appeared, such as the shot she threw—that marksmanship was definitely not something a stand-in could accomplish. It's just that after she finished throwing the gun, she left through this secret passage. So, how did she leave the palace? Follow the secret path and you should be able to find something.

Yi Fei was about to enter the secret passage when he stepped on a piece of paper signed "Feng Xiaoya" on the lower left corner. He froze for a moment, raised his foot to pick it up, and found that there were three sentences written on it——

"There are many people who have gained in this life, my father is the most."

"There are many people who are lost in this life, but my wife is the most important."

"If you come back to this life again, I hope that the father will not be the father, and the wife will not be the wife. Forget about each other, and live in peace and happiness."

Yi Fei raised his eyebrows, but he didn't throw it away, he put it in his arms casually, then bent down and entered the secret passage.

The secret passage was very long, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground. Yishu probably didn't expect that when the palace was in chaos, someone would still be able to find this secret passage and follow her trail, so he let the footprints on it without any cover.

At the beginning, she was alone, but at a certain corner halfway, it joined another pair of footprints. Yi Fei's eyes suddenly turned hot—the seven-inch-seven feet belonged to Yundi.

The two footprints moved forward quickly one after the other, and finally stopped at a branch.

Yi Fei tried, but couldn't find the mechanism. When he was anxious, he remembered the thin sword on his waist, and pulled it out immediately. The stone wall was cut into a square like tofu by the sword, and then kicked, it immediately shattered, revealing the room on the other side of the stone wall.

Yi Fei climbed out, but the outside was not Ningshu Palace, but a clean room, used to store toilets.

Yi Fei covered his nose, looked around, and sighed, "You're really open, Yishu."

After the toilets in the palace were cleaned up, the excrement trucks pulled the feces outside the city for disposal. And Yishu and Yundi used this to leave the palace without anyone noticing. After all, who would have thought that the dignified queen and the great general would be nestled in the dung truck.

Yi Fei walked out of the hut and saw that the fire was about to spread, so everyone fled.

Looking at the huge wall on one side, and looking at the hundreds of toilets piled up in the yard, Yi Fei murmured: "Even the queen can escape by using a dung cart, and it doesn't count if I escape by using a dung bucket." What's the matter." As he said, he kicked the toilet bowls towards the wall one by one, so that they were stacked one on top of the other, forming a rickety bucket ladder.

Yi Fei sprinted, stepping on the toilet and jumping up the fence, just about to climb over the wall and jump off, when he saw several rows of bows and arrows outside, aimed at him in unison.

Yi Fei was shocked.

Unexpectedly, at such a time, Yundi still kept a hand and arranged a group of Habayashi Army archers to ambush here.

Seeing that he was about to be shot into a hedgehog, Yi Fei quickly patted his guard's clothes and said, "Wait a minute, we are a family!"

A leading archer said coldly: "We are ordered by the general to guard here, and we will not let anyone come out."

Yi Fei said angrily: "It's unreasonable! The left and right gates are blown up, and the palace is on fire everywhere. It's fine if you don't go to put out the fire, but you still have to make trouble to prevent people from escaping?"

The archers looked at each other. Naturally, they also heard the loud noise, but the leader forbade them to move rashly, so they all waited here for a long time in aggrieved manner. They didn't know how long they would have to wait. They were already full of suspicion, but now that Yi Feiyi said it, they were immediately shaken. up.

"Are you the leader? Come on, come on, I have a token too, let's see which of us has the highest ranking..." Yi Fei took out something from his bosom as he spoke, and walked towards the lead archer. Hello, brothers Put it on the man's shoulders.

The man's attention was all on what he took out, so he didn't refuse. But in the next moment, he saw clearly what was in Yifei's hand. It was not a token at all, but a piece of paper. Just as he was about to speak, he found that his body could not move, and then he rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Did you see? I'm an officer higher than you, you have to listen to my brother! Now, hurry up and put out the fire, that's a great contribution, what are you waiting for!" Yi Fei continued to half hug and half push the leader forward.

Seeing this, the other archers also put down their bows and arrows one after another, and immediately started to act after hearing about putting out the fire.

Yi Fei took advantage of the chaos to hold the leader and walked forward, thinking about how to find an opportunity to throw him out of the way, when he heard an archer scream.

When he turned his head, he saw a wave rising in the far horizon.

For a moment, I thought my eyes were wrong.

How could it be possible to see the waves in the imperial city? Although it can be seen from the map that Luwan is facing the sea, it can be put into reality, but the city wall is tens of miles away from the nearest sea!

Immediately afterwards, the wave hit and swallowed a row of houses. And behind that wave, there are layers upon layers of endless waves.

Small houses, livestock, and fences were instantly washed away and drifted like rootless duckweed.

Yifei figured out Yishu's situation in an instant—

Yishu wants the whole of Luwan to die with him.

***

The white mist is like smoke.

Xue Cai thought, oh, it's Luwan again.

Only in the morning in Luwan can there be such a heavy fog. He once saw a manjusawa flower in the foggy princess mansion, and then someone came up to him and asked him, "What kind of flower is this?"

Some kind of soft emotion rose in his heart, and he was ready to explain it patiently to others. But when he was about to speak, there was a sudden click, and he woke up—that thing had already happened. What has happened cannot happen again. So, now it's...dream?

When he thought of this, he woke up.

He opened his eyes and found himself on someone's back.

There were four people traveling together, one was carrying him, and three were protecting him in three directions.

Xue Cai's gaze paused on their clothes—the Golden Gate disciples of Ruyimen.

Xue Cai said, "Stop."

The four of them didn't stop. The man behind his back said: "Sir, I must send you to a safe place!"

"Do you know where it's safe?"

The footsteps of the four froze for a moment, and the man behind his back said: "It's always right to run to Feng County." Feng County is on the west side of Luwan, surrounded by mountains, it is indeed safe.

However, Xue Cai shook her head and said, "In Cheng Guo now, there is only one safest place—the place where Yishu is." And there is only one way to completely solve everything in front of him—to catch Yishu.

Who knows if there are any more crazy plans behind her, after all, if this person becomes crazy, he can even kill the emperor, maybe even Cheng Guo, and everything will be bombed and sunk—although it is difficult in practice. But Xue Cai didn't forget that Yuan Su still put up five strange masks in various parts of Chengguo.

Yishu has proven that all her actions are planned. Those five covers must also have a purpose.

The Golden Gate disciples wondered: "We don't know where the Queen is now."

"I know." Xue Cai jumped off the man's back and said with a sneer, "How could she not be willing to watch such a big show with her own eyes? So, she must be at a very high place where she can see the whole Luwan sinking .”

He took a few steps and pointed somewhere: "It's there."

***

There is a sparrow mountain more than ten miles south of Luwan City. There is an abandoned ancient pagoda on the mountain. It is said that it was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm many years ago, and the monk died. The desolation of taking office, as time goes by, few people come.

But at this moment, on the roof of the scorched black ruined building, one person was sitting and the other was standing.

The person sitting was drinking while looking at Luwan in the distance. The one standing guarded the surroundings and occasionally poured wine for her.

Of course Yishu is sitting, and Yundi is standing.

"Good brother, don't be nervous, sit down. This place is so high that anyone who comes here can see it first." Yishu smiled and patted the open space beside him.

Yundi shook his head, stared in the direction of Luwan City and did not speak. Seen from here, Luwan City is like a piece of rice paper, which is rapidly permeated by water and becomes blurred.

"Are you sorry?"

Yundi chuckled: "I will never regret it for the queen. But the queen, do you regret it?"

Yishu laughed loudly: "In my life, there are too many facts that outsiders may regret, but they don't know, I just feel happy! How many people in this world can appreciate such a carefree and insane experience? Can it be realized? Can it be tolerated? Only I!” After speaking, he suddenly stood up proudly, raised his glass to the world, and said, “Only I! King Zhou is nothing but cannonballs, Wei Xuangong is nothing more than adultery, Qin Shihuang is nothing more than cheating Confucianism, and Liu Ziye is nothing but killing Clan... And I have done everything they have done, and I have done what they have not done. Irrigated the sea, sank the capital of the emperor, killed 30,000 people, and flooded 100,000 fields. Violence? Violence? No virtue Huh? So what—”

The sea wind roared, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, roaring like the wrath of the sky.

And she stood facing the wind, smiling at the destruction of the common people, and remained indifferent.

Yundi watched from the side, feeling a little dazed, a little terrified, but uncontrollably excited. He suddenly stepped forward and put his arms around Yishu's waist, and kissed him deeply.

There was a moment of rage in Yishu's eyes, but he naturally put his arms around his neck and said with a light smile, "Good brother, what do you want to do?"

Yundi whispered something in her ear, and Yishu smiled more and more charmingly: "That's right. Such a once-in-a-lifetime moment..." At the end, the voice gradually became inaudible.

At the same time, the tsunami broke down the walls of the embankment, Liangtian, the official road, and rushed into the city frantically...

***

Cracks appeared in the middle of a good street. People could point to the cracks and exclaim at first, but when the cracks got bigger and bigger and several people fell in, they thought of fleeing.

The dwarfs fled to higher places. But the tall buildings are swaying.

The rich and the nobles hitched up their carriages, and as soon as they drove out of the courtyard, the wheels were swallowed by the cemented ground, and they could no longer move.

People grabbed all kinds of things they could grasp in a panic, hoping that the shaking would stop, but they didn't know that the tide was coming in the direction of the southwestern city wall...

Yifei stood in front of the palace wall, staring blankly at everything in front of him. For some reason, he remembered the nightmare he had repeated countless times. In the dream, he promised his mother that one day, sooner or later, he would be able to take her ashore.

Now, ironically, the dream has come true in reality.

But when this scene actually happened in front of his eyes, it was like wiping away the fog on the mirror with a hand, allowing him to finally see his true heart.

The homeland is like a heart, how can it be destroyed, and the people are like children, how can it bear its death?

Yi Fei clenched his teeth, turned around and rushed over to wake up the archer leader he threw aside: "Wake up! Wake up!"

The man woke up in a daze, not knowing what happened.

"Call your brothers and follow me!"

"Why?"

Pointing at the scene of the shaking of the building in front of him, Yi Fei tore off the fake beard and other disguises, revealing his true colors: "Because of this catastrophe is imminent. Because of my surname Cheng. Because of my...it's Yi Fei!"

The leader looked at his face, his eyes turned from blankness to surprise, and then to even greater panic.

***

Qiu Jiang stared at Yuan Su, convinced that she had never seen this person before, but time was running out, so she decided to cut the mess quickly.

"Look at this." With a slight twist of the wrist, there was a pill in the finger, vermilion like blood, "Do you know what this is?"

Yuan Su frowned.

"This is Zhuxin Pill. Among the hundred kills, the heart is the most punishing. After taking this medicine, you will recall the memories you least want to recall in your life, repeat the most painful experience in your life, and your heart will always ache..."

Yuan Su interrupted her: "It's okay."

Qiu Jiang choked.

Yuan Su glanced at the sea water raging in the city below. It seemed that the speed was not fast, but wherever it went, it devoured everything. "In half an hour, the sea will flood here, and you and I will both die. Even if you want to torture me, it will take half an hour at most."

Qiu Jiang sighed, put the pill back into his bosom, and when he stretched out his finger again, it turned into a green pill: "That's all. Since we are going to die together, let's do something happy before we die."

Looking at the medicine, Yuan Su's expression finally changed.

This time it is Qiu Jiang's turn to smile: "You know this one, right? This is the ecstasy pill specially refined for your good queen, it is used as an aphrodisiac. Your good queen treats you like a national scholar, so she probably didn't invite you to share it." Come on, come on, let's have a carnival before we die, and we can sleep together, how about it?"

Yuan Su's eyes widened. He really wanted to keep calm, but the medicine got closer and closer to his mouth, and he couldn't control his trembling anymore: "Shameless, shameless!"

"You already knew I was this kind of person." Qiu Jiang said, grabbing his chin, pinching his fingers, Yuan Su's mouth opened involuntarily, the pill slipped into his throat, and he almost lost his mind.

Qiu Jiang let go, looked at the pale Yuan Su, and blinked: "Yuan Lang, how do you like to play?"

Yuan Su stared at her tremblingly, a layer of water appeared in his eyes.

Qiu Jiang smiled and stretched out his hand to untie his robe. Yuan Su finally broke down and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you...see you."

"What?" Qiu Jiang didn't stop, and took off his robe deftly in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you!"

Qiu Jiang's fingers finally stopped. She raised her head and stared straight into the other's eyes. After a while, she staggered back half a step.

Yuan Su's eyes fell on the pins on his neck, and he said in a low voice: "Twelve years ago, you pretended to be Xie Liu and cheated my family of the formula of Xie Liu. Three years later, you faked your death by getting married. Father thought you were really Died. He vomited blood and died violently when he heard the news. My mother was forced by the tribe to ask about the whereabouts of the formula. She couldn’t hand it in, so she committed suicide and apologized. I was seven years old, and I was kicked out by the tribe and begged for a living. I thought everything was just bad luck. Until one day , I saw you on the road."

Qiu Jiang staggered back half a step.

"You have changed a lot, but I still recognize you, but I can't believe it. I tried to follow you from a distance, but someone stopped me. The man told me that's right, everything about you is fake. You It was a poison carefully prepared by Ruyimen for my Xie family, which caused our family to be ruined and lost everything."

Qiu Jiang listened silently, without any expression on Su Bai's face.

"That person told me that if you want revenge, you have to live a good life. Only by living longer than you and walking higher than you can you have a chance to bring you down."

Qiu Jiang said in a deep voice, "Who is that person?"

"You have already killed that person. Oh no, it was the original Mrs. Ruyi who killed her."

"Ruby?"

"She told me her name was Onyx."

Qiu Jiang let out a long sigh. She remembered Hongyu's words before she died, the phrase "a steady stream of enemies are coming to you to avenge you" turned out not to be aimless, but waiting here.

"How do you know that Shen Agate is dead?"

"Do you think the queen wants to find someone in Cheng territory, and Pin Congmu will be her helper, so she won't be able to find her?"

"That is to say..."

"Of course I know where Mrs. Ruyi is, and I know that she is dying and dare not come out. I keep her just to wait for you. Although many people say that you are dead. But, I don't believe it. How could you not die with me? hands?" The strong wind blew Yuan Su's face, and his calm eyebrows and eyes no longer showed the appearance of Xie Jian, the young son of the Xie family.

Moreover, when Qiu Jiang pretended to be Xie Liu, he was not close to this younger brother, so after many years, he failed to recognize him.

But what was a game to her was an earth-shattering turning point in his life.

Yuan Su stared at her and said word by word: "If you take other people's things, you have to return them. Madam Ruyi. And today's disaster in Luwan, where 30,000 people died, it's not the Queen's fault, it's you! It's you! Ruyimen's...sin!"

A tear slipped out of Qiu Jiang's left eye and was quickly blown away by the wind.

She thought lightly in her heart: I really don't even have the right to cry.

The people in Luwan City turned their backs on their backs, and everyone was like a chicken without a head. I only know that the earthquake is strong, but I don't know that the sea is coming from the other side.

Some of them started to flee, and some of them were still packing up the messy things at home.

Until the Habayashi army rode past outside the gate, shouting: "The tsunami is coming! Flee to a higher place! Flee to the east gate!"

Fleeing chaos is another scene.

Someone stood upstairs in his house and exclaimed: "Wow, wow! Awesome!"

You walked **** the dirt road with your old mother on your back, and the mother cried: "Let me go, son, run away by yourself, please!"

There is a case of wrapping a child in a wooden barrel and crying.

More stumbling and helping forward...

"Escape! Escape to a high place! Escape to the east gate!" became their only hope.

However, when some people finally came to the east gate, they found that the gate was locked from the outside!

In the panic, countless people were trampled to death and injured. Everyone slammed into the city gate desperately, trying to escape, but Shen Daqianjin's city gate remained motionless.

At this moment, a group of Habayashi soldiers rushed over and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, let us come!"

The common people became more and more flustered, like a pot of boiling gruel, they couldn't make a complete passage.

The leader, Yi Fei, jumped up from his horse, holding a huge flag in his hand, and galloped over the crowd's heads. He unfurled the flag in front of the east gate. It is still shining: "Waste! A group of waste! Isn't it water? What are we? We are the country of dragons! Everyone can swim! Can ride a boat! Generations have experienced countless tsunami storms. Isn't it just the backflow of sea water , what are you afraid of? What are you panicking?!"

Everyone was shaken by the flag first, then yelled at by Yi Fei, and they immediately fell silent.

"Continue if you want to die, and listen to my orders if you don't want to die!"

"Who are you?" someone in the crowd yelled.

Yi Fei's gaze shot straight at his face like an arrow. He didn't say anything, but just pulled out a chain from his neck. Although the lovebird on the chain was small, it was more dazzling than the golden silk totem on the flag. .

Those who were close could see it clearly, and a man suddenly exclaimed: "Manman! He, he is the Third Highness!"

"It's really the Third Highness! The Third Highness is back! The Third Highness is back!"

"The Third Highness is back—"

Cheers of surprise came out one after another. Some people have already started to kneel down.

The Third Prince Cheng has only been away from the country for a year. A year is not a long time, at least the people of Luwan haven't completely forgotten him. At least, at this time of crisis, when he appeared in front of everyone again, what he symbolized was not disaster, but power—the light called hope.

Pin Congmu helped an old man to the top floor of the library. This is the tallest building in Santiao Street. It is four stories high and occupies a large area. Now it has accommodated more than 200 people.

The old man looked at him with tears in his eyes: "I'm getting old, let's give up my position to those children."

"They will come, and you must stay."

"But can it be guaranteed to be safe here?"

"No. But this is the safest place you can get
