In the woods, Yuan Qi walked slowly behind Yuan Wen, looking at the generous back, a trace of fluorescence flashed in his eyes.
When her mother was about to die, she came into contact with the truth and learned that Yuan Ji was not her biological father.
From her mother's description, Yuan Qi had imagined Yuan Wen's appearance for countless times, and could even think of every expression on his face, and knew every stupid thing he and his mother had done. But now that her biological father was right in front of her, she felt that way.
strangeness.
Although she had thought her biological father had passed away all these years, when Yuan Ji told her a few days ago that when Yuan Wen came back, she didn't feel much better. Instead, she felt a bit resentful because of her mother's affairs.
Until what I saw today, I realized how deeply he loved his mother, just as her mother loved him. All of this seemed to be relieved again.
Yuan Qi caressed her face, which was somewhat stained with the traces of time, like a woman in her early forties. But her father, who was only in his thirties, was in his prime, and he couldn't help but feel a little mixed.
List.
Yuan Wen paused and suddenly asked: "How was your mother's life during those years?"
Yuan Wen heard the sadness in the words and the cautiousness that was almost fearful. He lowered his head silently, not knowing how to speak.
The wind blew in the woods and the leaves rustled, but no one wanted to break the silence.
"No...it's not very good. I always feel that she is a little sad. Maybe she is thinking about you." Yuan Qi said.
Yuan Wen's body trembled slightly, his brows furrowed, he paused for a while, and then said: "It's my fault. If I hadn't been reckless back then, I probably wouldn't have let you mother and daughter fall into this situation."
Yuan Qi pursed her lips and did not respond.
The silence lasted for a long time, and then Yuan Wen got down to business. "Where is your mother's tomb?"
"On Xinyun Mountain, there is no mausoleum, only a small tomb."
"Okay, let's go to worship her together, and then you can leave Yunji and go as far as possible."
Yuan Qi's pupils shrank and she said anxiously: "What about you?"
Only then did Yuan Wen turn around. The sadness on his face disappeared and was replaced by determination. "As the crown prince of Yunji, I naturally have to shoulder my mission."
"You're the only one? What's the difference between that and dying?"
"The blood of the Yuan family can be killed but not surrendered. This is the ancestral motto. Besides, the descendants of my subordinates are still trapped in the imperial capital, waiting for me to rescue them."
Yuan Qi shook her head, with a cry in her tone. "Father is right, you are too reckless and arrogant. Wasn't the pain you caused enough? Why can't you think more about others!"
Yuan Wen lowered his face and said coldly: "I am your biological father, not that..."
"Then where were you when my mother and I were bullied and assassinated all these years? Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father for a day?" Yuan Qi roared, tears streaming down his face.
Yuan Wen was silent, and suddenly shrank when he made eye contact with Yuan Qi, "I...but I am the king of a country."
Yuan Qi wiped away her tears and smiled softly. "Okay, then you can be the king of your country!"
Yuan Wen looked at Yuan Qi's leaving back and was completely panicked. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold her. "Qier!"
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to do with me?" Yuan Qi responded coldly.
"Qier, don't be like this..." Yuan Wen looked at the person in front of him with a painful expression, his voice trembling slightly.
"I know I'm sorry for you mother and daughter. But, if I survive, how should I face those soldiers who died fighting for Yunji and to protect me? How should I face the ancestors of the Yuan family? How should I face them?
To your mother!"
"Then you want to despise your own life?" Yuan Qi asked sternly, and then slowly became depressed, "I obviously just found my biological father..."
Yuan Wen frowned and wanted to hold the daughter in front of him into his arms. But she seemed to suddenly appear in his life without any precautions.
He was very frightened in his heart, fearing that he would really fall because of this. But the hatred of the country was at the forefront, and he could not abandon everyone for the sake of a small family.
Not only was Yun Ji dead, the Yuan family was also dead, his Yun Meng suffered a hellish nightmare and died of depression even before he came back!
Thinking of all this, Yuan Wen couldn't bear to sigh.
Yuan Qi sighed softly, put down the hand on his shoulder, lowered his head and walked forward. "I will leave and find a quiet place to live a good life. You can take care of yourself."
Looking at the retreating figure, Yuan Wen frowned again, slowly clenched his fists, and his heart seemed to be split.
"Qier," he called to Yuan Qi who was about to walk out of the woods, and asked almost pleadingly: "As a father, can I give you a hug?"
The defense line built up in Yuan Qi's heart collapsed instantly. Unable to control the bursting tears any longer, she turned around and rushed into Yuan Wen's arms.
Feeling the man's slightly trembling body, she understood why her mother had been so frowning for so many years.
Until those hands hugged her, the missing piece in her heart was finally filled, and at the same time, her mother's longing was conveyed.
"Mom, she has missed you all these years. Although she only told me of your existence when she was about to die, she always believed that you would come back!"
Hearing the choked words in his arms, Yuan Wen couldn't help but blush. The man shed tears easily, but he didn't feel sad.
Even the staunch king of a country couldn't help but shed a tear at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Yuan Wen was talking to Yuan Qi, and also to the dead princess. However, after regretting it, he could only move on.
…
Jiang Ningyue gave Xuan Ye good medicine and wrapped him in gauze. His whole body was wrapped like a rice dumpling, which looked extremely funny.
Fortunately, they were all flesh injuries. Xuan Ye took the Purple Heart Pill and with the help of the demon blood, he should be able to recover in two or three days. However, during this period, he was somewhat inconvenient to move.
After a while, Yuan Wen came back. When he saw Xuan Ye's appearance, he immediately started to pull off the gauze on his body.
"What are you doing? It took so much trouble to wrap it up!" Jiang Ningyue complained.
"If you don't want him to die, don't pack these things." Yuan Wen's voice was cold, but it was much better than usual.
He looked around and said solemnly: "Boy, don't you want me to help you nourish the demon fire? Now is a good opportunity, but you have to be able to bear the pain."
"What do you want me to do?" Xuan Ye asked.
"Now that the weather is just right, find a place where the Yang Fire is extremely strong to stimulate the demonic fire in you, and also to remove the soul power from your body."
Xuan Ye was naturally not afraid and shrugged, "Then go."
Yuan Wen smiled with a malicious look on his face: "Don't regret it."
Xuan Ye had never seen Yuan Wen smile before. This always cold king seemed to be a little different? Before he could find out more, he was supported by spiritual power and flew towards the distant mountains.
In less than a stick of incense, Yuan Wen found a suitable place. A cliff facing west.
After placing Xuan Ye on the ground, he motioned for everyone to move away, pinched the magic formula with both hands, and let the floating spiritual pen draw a magic circle around him. Then he summoned the demon fire and tapped it lightly on the magic circle.
Before Xuan Ye could figure out when it happened, the magic circle suddenly burst into flames. The sunlight passed through the magic circle, and the light became extremely dazzling. At the same time, the demonic fire attached to the magic circle seemed to be projected down.
An extremely violent heat fell on the body surface, and the charred skin and flesh kept shrinking, making a "sizzling" sound from being roasted.
He screamed immediately, but his mouth was quickly blocked. His whole body hurt as if thousands of needles were pricking it, and blood kept splattering out.
At the same time, an unknown flame was ignited in the body, running rapidly around the meridians, as if responding to the scorching heat from the outside world.
The two waves of heat collided, making Xuan Ye feel painful and itchy, but he could not move because his hands and feet had already been firmly nailed to the ground by Yuan Wen.
This feeling of being itchy but unable to scratch and painful but unable to scream is really despairing.
If he had a choice, he would choose to faint immediately. But his consciousness was so clear that he could even clearly feel the charred black surface of his body being slowly baked into charcoal and cracking.
Then, the scorching heat fell on the flesh and blood through the crack, and the pain intensified again. The superficial flesh quickly condensed, and the blood was burned hot.
At this time, the heat flowing through the meridians enters the heart, just like entering a hotbed, where it glows and heats up.
After a while, the heat became higher and higher. Xuan Ye also inspected clearly. It seemed to be wisps of red flames, but because they were too small, they looked like sparkling fluorescence.
After staying for a while, these fluorescent lights were continuously transported out with the beating of the heart, and the heat of the meridians became higher and higher.
And another local snake in the body, the demon blood, also started rioting at this moment. It seemed to be extremely happy with these fluorescent lights, chasing after them and devouring them.
Although this reduced some of the heat, Xuan Ye felt that his meridians were extremely swollen, and the demon blood was like a shepherd dog, driving away the fluorescence.
When it flows into the dantian, it traps them in place. As more and more fluorescence flows in, the energy in the dantian slowly swirls. Mixed with little bits of fluorescence, it looks as gorgeous as a nebula.
Xuan Ye didn't care about so much, he just felt that the Dantian was like a furnace, and the heat was completely different from the heat on the body surface. It was like there were two fires burning inside the body and outside the body.
This discomfort lasted for a while after burning incense, before the demon blood drove the subsequent fluorescence into the meridians and circulated throughout the heavens.
The fluorescence that resides in the Dantian is also constantly shining, until a wisp of fire heart grows, and then it suddenly condenses.
At that moment, Xuan Ye almost fainted from comfort, and the heat in his body quickly subsided and turned into coolness.
At the same time, the black charcoal on the body surface also fell off, and the shrunken flesh and blood slowly relaxed. Under the healing of the demon blood, scabs formed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that it was almost done, Yuan Wen dispersed the magic circle, wrapped up the unconscious Xuan Ye with his spiritual power, and flew towards Xinyun Mountain.
Xinyun Mountain is not far from Lintian City. The mountains are vast and comparable to the Diming Mountains in Dongzhou, but the mountains are not as steep.
Several low peaks on the periphery are surrounded by clouds and mist all day long, so the scenery is beautiful. There are no monsters or monsters around, so it is a popular place for dignitaries to travel.
As soon as Yuan Wen set foot on one of the short peaks, he remembered the scene when he first met Yun Meng. Old memories were lingering in his mind. After putting Xuan Ye down, he gave Jiang Ning Yue a few words and took Yuan Qi deeper.
