Chapter 98: My Heart Is Ashes
Luoxia Mountain
At dusk, the sky is filled with glow.
For miles around, there are few people.
Not far away, a man and woman were walking gracefully, followed by a black horse.
The sunset reflected the soft light on Ling Hanjing's profile, which made Yiye Guhong's heart drop. "Why aren't you talking? You can go home soon, you should be happy."
Ling Hanjing didn't answer and asked instead: "Yiye Guhong, it's too late to regret now."
Yiye Guhong knew what she was talking about, so he snorted and said, "Regret? I, Yiye Guhong, never regret anything I do."
Ling Hanjing said calmly: "I know you won't give up so easily. If everything goes as you want and you really take revenge, what are your plans in the future?"
The brilliance of Yiye Guhong's dark pupils was annihilated, and he was particularly sad. When he raised his eyes, his bright and clear eyes were covered with a layer of confusion.
His eyes fell on Ling Hanjing's face, then he smiled and said casually: "Maybe I can wander around the world, maybe, I can marry a little lady like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman's evasive eyes, and realized that it was a bit abrupt, so he clarified: "I'm sorry, I was joking, let's go!"
The two of them walked quietly for a while. At this time, many officers, soldiers and archers were ambushed on the hilltop.
"Sir, Yiye Guhong has appeared." The soldier came to report.
Gu Fan followed Gu Yan's gaze and looked over. When he saw a man and a woman talking and laughing at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but smile scornfully and said sarcastically:
"Brother, look at the woman you have been thinking about, talking and laughing with the robbers, looking back and forth, and there is no hint of a captive... I'm afraid it's not... Ha!" Gu Fan sneered coldly and stopped continuing.
It couldn't be more obvious.
Compared with the cynicism of his relatives, the dazzling scene of a man and a woman walking side by side at the foot of the mountain made his heart a hundred times more heartbreaking. In just a few days, she was already talking and laughing with the thief? It was in vain that he had worked hard to save her for many days.
Running around.
At this time, Yiye Guhong's cold gaze swept across the top of the mountain. He instantly sensed the approaching danger, and he shouted coldly:
"Gu Changwu, I know you have ambushed a heavy army. This is just a personal grudge between you and me. If you are a man, don't involve innocent people and come out to fight me to the death."
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter echoed in the mountain, "Hahaha... Yiye Guhong, I didn't expect you to be so stupid and throw yourself into a trap. Are you too confident in yourself, or do you think of us too simply?"
If you want to fight to the death with me, are you worthy?"
Immediately, he waved his hand, and two rows of archers who were ready to attack appeared behind him. They moved forward together, stood on the top of the mountain, and aimed at Yiye Guhong at the bottom of the mountain.
When Gu Yan saw this, he was filled with worry. How could he save Han Jing's life under the random arrows? This is a risky thing for dad!
Gu Yan took two steps forward, grabbed Gu Changwu's arm, and said urgently: "Dad, no... Han Jing is still down there."
"Woman's kindness! Get out!" Gu Changwu glanced coldly, shook off his hand, and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Following Gu Changwu's order, the sharp arrows in their hands left their strings, and the arrows flew together, whistling towards Yiye Guhong and Ling Hanjing...
"Swish swish"
The sudden attack made Yiye Guhong feel anxious and shouted at Ling Hanjing: "Be careful!"
Immediately, Yiye Guhong drew out the scimitar from his waist, blocked the arrows left and right, and deflected all the arrows. However, before he could put away the sword, a second wave of arrows came towards them like a gust of wind and rain.
Among the random arrows, an arrow as fast as the wind was shot towards Ling Hanjing. Ling Hanjing was already frightened out of her mind and froze in place, unable to move.
At the critical moment, Yiye Guhong stepped lightly on the ground and jumped. He spun around in the air and blocked Ling Hanjing's body. The sharp sword in front of him was wiped from his chest.
In the past, in an instant, traces of blood flowed from the chest.
Immediately afterwards, he moved quickly and protected Ling Hanjing in his arms. Several arrows shot at her all missed and were nailed to the ground.
Just like that, Yiye Guhong and Ling Hanjing flickered, turned, soared, and leaped, and all the arrows fell to the ground, and none of them hit the two of them.
When Gu Changwu saw this, he was furious. Then he raised his big hand and a third wave of arrows struck alternately.
"Dad... you can't..."
When Gu Yan saw this, his eyes suddenly widened in shock. Under the random arrows, was Han Jing still alive? It was already too late to stop him.
Several arrows roared towards Ling Hanjing with cold light, and he saw two arrows speeding towards Ling Hanjing's chest...
When Yiye Guhong saw this, his heart tightened. Suddenly, he grabbed two arrows from the air with his bare hands.
This scene fell into Ling Hanjing's eyes with shock, sadness, and disbelief. Her dull and frightened eyes overlapped with Yiye Guhong's nervous eyes. For a moment, she felt panicked and uneasy in her heart.
Just when the two people's eyes met, several more arrows came towards the two of them...
Yiye Guhong's eyes flashed, he turned over with Ling Hanjing in his arms and rolled down the hillside, barely dodging dozens of arrows.
Gu Yan looked down the mountain with cold eyes. The sight of Yiye Guhong protecting Ling Hanjing regardless of his own safety suddenly caused an evil fire to burst out of his heart, and then it raged in his body uncontrollably.
When Gu Fan saw this on the top of the mountain, he shouted at his officers and soldiers: "Kill them."
Accompanied by the shouts of charging, dozens of officers and soldiers armed with spears came menacingly. For a time, hand-to-hand combat resounded throughout the valley.
Yiye Guhong fought hard to kill the enemy, while also protecting Ling Hanjing who was too frightened in the chaos.
Looking from afar, dozens of officers and soldiers besieged a man and woman. Yiye Guhong held Ling Hanjing with his left hand and protected her behind him. He waved a slender scimitar with his right hand, blocking the attack of seven or eight people.
Come down.
However, an officer and soldier who did not know whether to live or die suddenly appeared behind Yiye Guhong.
Yiye Guhong glanced sideways, and spun up with Ling Hanjing. The scimitar in his hand struck out instantly, and immediately penetrated the officer and soldier's head. A blood flower flew by in an instant, making Ling Hanjing cover her eyes in shock.
He raised his head and screamed in surprise.
"ah……"
After dozens of rounds of "ding ding ding", the number of officers and soldiers increased. Because Yiye Guhong had to concentrate on protecting Ling Hanjing beside him, his movements were inconvenient. He gradually began to lose the enemy and fell into a disadvantage.
Yiye Guhong's situation began to become dangerous.
He led Ling Hanjing back again and again, unable to resist. Suddenly, an officer and soldier suddenly appeared in front of the two of them with a long knife. The big knife flashed with dazzling light and slashed at the intertwined hands of Yiye Guhong and Ling Hanjing.
When Ling Hanjing saw this, she was extremely frightened and shook off Yiye Guhong's big hand, but she didn't want to lose her footing and fell down the towering hill.
At the critical moment, Yiye Guhong flew up, his black robe spinning in a perfect arc in the air, and his powerful hands instantly caught Ling Hanjing's waist steadily.
Immediately, Yiye Guhong looked at the horse not far away, gave a short and circuitous whistle, and galloped towards the two of them along with the horse's neighing.
Just at this moment, the scene of the two embracing each other happened to fall into Gu Yan's eyes. At this time, he was already furious.
It was as if there was a fire burning fiercely in my heart, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and it could sweep through the world at any time. It was obvious that the two people were deeply in love when their eyes met.
At this time, Gu Fan fanned the flames in his ear, "It seems that the woman is attracted to the robber."
Gu Yan was so aroused by Gu Yan and saw the clues that he was furious. He immediately drew his bow and arrow, pointed it at the man and woman at the bottom of the mountain, with a fierce look in his eyes, and immediately shot without hesitation.
At the same time, when Yiye Guhong got on the horse, he grabbed Ling Hanjing's wrist and put him on the horse's back. Unexpectedly, in the flash of lightning, the arrow shot straight into Ling Hanjing's chest.
The pain caused her to scream in surprise and fall down on his generous back.
Yiye Guhong looked back and was extremely frightened. Immediately afterwards, a large number of officers and soldiers swarmed in and blocked Yiye Guhong's way.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in mid-air, and the man slapped a palm, knocking back seven or eight officers and soldiers.
Then, the man floated down like a swallow.
Then, another man in black also ran over.
Two masked men in black suddenly appeared. Gu Changwu, Gu Yan and others on the mountain suddenly turned out to be accomplices?
Yiye Guhong thought that he would definitely die today, but he did not expect that a savior would come from the sky. Moreover, it seemed that the person had extremely high martial arts skills and seemed to be a woman.
Before Gu Changwu, Gu Yan and others could see clearly what was happening, their pupils shrank violently, and dozens of officers and soldiers fell to the ground dead.
"Take Ling Hanjing and leave first." The man in black glanced at Ling Hanjing, who had been hit by an arrow, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
Yiye Guhong and the man in black looked at each other, nodded, glanced at Ling Hanjing who was lying on his back, and said, "Sit tight."
Accompanied by the roar of the horse in the sky, Yiye Guhong rode his horse and rushed out of the siege.
He was now very worried about Ling Hanjing's injuries, and he had no time to care about what kind of hero the man in black was, and why he helped him? He just wanted to escape as soon as possible and treat Ling Hanjing's injuries.
Seeing the arrow shot towards Ling Hanjing, Gu Yan's expression changed drastically, as if he had lost his soul, and he froze in place.
The bow and arrow in his hand also fell to the ground. He had just shot and wounded his fiancée?! He stared in despair as Yiye Guhong took Ling Hanjing away, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, Gu Fan looked at all this with cold eyes, and a sneer flashed across his lips.
The men in black used the strength of one against ten, causing the officers and soldiers to retreat step by step, causing heavy casualties. Seeing the officers and soldiers bending down, you looked at me, I looked at you, not daring to step forward, so the man in black pulled the man next to him.
The accomplice flew away in the air.
"Walk."
Seeing Yiye Guhong running away, although Gu Changwu was unwilling to do so, he had to give the order: "Don't chase the poor bandit."
Gu Fan withdrew his troops, and several of them looked at Yiye Guhong who had broken out of the encirclement, feeling unwilling to do so.
In a remote farmhouse, Ling Hanjing was lying weakly on the bedside, staring at the pulled out arrow with her beautiful eyes, her heart in a daze of despair.
The seal character "琰" that suddenly appeared at the end made her almost breathless, and a line of clear tears slid down her pale cheeks.
She couldn't believe that Gu Yan would be so ruthless to her, how could it be him?!
Seeing how sad she was, Yiye Guhong stretched out his hand to take the arrow and put it away, "It's Gu Yan's arrow. I didn't expect that the Gu family was so cruel that they would even do this to their closest relatives.
"
Ling Hanjing lowered her eyes and said with a hint of sobs in her voice: "I never thought that he could be so heartless and not even care about my life."
"Don't be too sad. It's a good thing to discover his true identity as soon as possible."
Yiye Guhong sat in front of the bed, brought the decoction to her, and comforted her: "Don't think so much. You have been poisoned by an arrow and need to have a good rest. It is not conducive to recovery from illness."
Yiye Guhong put down the soup bowl, walked to the doctor, and asked anxiously: "How is Han Jing's injury?"
The doctor said, "Don't worry! The poison in his body has been eliminated. He should be fine after taking the medicine I prescribed."
