The man who was hit hard on the ground choked out a mouthful of blood. As soon as he tried to sit up, the woman soldier who followed him drew a sword and pointed it at his throat.
"...Don't, don't kill me!" The man's face turned pale, he trembled and retreated, lying on the ground and kowtowing to beg for mercy.
Chang Suining knelt down in front of Wu Jue and supported one of his arms.
But Wujue still put his hands on the ground, but instead of looking up at the sky, he changed his head to bowing his head silently, closing his eyes tightly. His thin figure was hunched and kneeling there, and the blood on his forehead was mixed with the dirt on his face.
Mud almost made him unable to recognize the original description.
The only movement he made at this moment was the silent trembling that ran through his body.
"Wu Jue?" Chang Suining simply knelt down, lowered his head, and shook him nervously, while quickly exploring his body for possible injuries.
Hearing this voice, Wujue finally regained his thoughts. He raised his eyes in shock, and the moment he saw the person in front of him clearly, his eyes trembled slightly, and then suddenly large tears welled up.
The hand holding his arm was small but powerful, seeming to isolate him from the huge impact of the endless malice.
Wu Jue opened his mouth tremblingly in disbelief, trying to make a sound, but couldn't several times, and could only cry continuously.
But Chang Suining knew that he was calling "Your Highness", so she nodded repeatedly: "It's me, I'm here."
"What's wrong with you? Are there any other injuries besides trauma?" Chang Suining asked, his eyes falling on his hands on the ground, and he immediately asked: "Where are the fingers?!"
That's right, Wujue's current situation is more like mental trauma and damage than physical pain and discomfort... it must be because of the finger-wrenching!
Chang Suining turned back to look at the man who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, his eyes and voice were cold: "Hand it over!"
"It's all...it's all there!" The man quickly pointed to the baggage that fell to the ground: "I didn't move anything!"
Facing those cold pool-like eyes, he hurriedly said: "By the way...and this, this!"
The man panicked and took out the ring from his arms. Regardless of the pain in his arms, he held the ring in both hands and said, "...Here! Give it all to you!"
The Detachment of Women kicked him hard. The man immediately understood and begged for mercy. He knelt and moved forward, holding the ring finger in front of Chang Sui Ning.
The woman soldier kicked him again, pulled him up, threw him under a big tree, and continued to point his sword at him.
Chang Sui Ning took the ring and quickly put it on Wu Jue.
The rain was still falling, and Chang Suining was still half-kneeling. She used her hands to wipe away the mud and blood from the corners of Wu Jue's eyes that blocked his vision, and said to him: "I'm late, let's go home right now."
Turning his fingers back on his body, Wujue was gradually able to distinguish between fantasy and reality. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him with tears in his eyes. For a moment, his torn and dry lips moved. Only the two of them could express themselves in this wind and rain.
Before hearing the choked whisper, he forced a smile: "Your Highness, why did you come to this remote place in person..."
His innocent and flattering smile was something he had practiced over and over again while facing the river water.
This smile appeared on this extremely embarrassed face, like a long needle, silently piercing Chang Suining's heart and hurting her eyes.
"Who taught you to laugh like this... It's not like you, you are not allowed to laugh like this." As Chang Suining spoke, he took off his cloak, tied it for him first, and then put the hood on him to block the blows on him.
of wind and rain.
Wu Jue looked at her movements in disbelief. His thoughts came back to him and he asked with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness...don't you think this subordinate is annoying to you?"
Looking at each other, the half-kneeling girl in a green robe with her hair disheveled shook her head seriously at him: "No."
He gave her a chance to be reborn, a sound body, and left all this glory and majesty to her, but he himself was covered in mud, hiding in a muddy corner, being reviled, despised, and killed by the world...
He is the most loyal subordinate, the elder who sacrifices himself the most for her, and the most admirable instigator of the salvation situation. How could she, how could she hate him?
Wujue couldn't believe it, he just thought she was suppressing her emotions out of consideration for past friendships...His Highness had always missed old friendships the most.
"Have you forgotten?" Chang Suining explained to him softly: "I am not in this world. I am just a wandering soul from another world that you exchanged for your life. The order of this world cannot control me.
, naturally it won’t affect me at all.”
Wujue was stunned when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he realized...it actually made sense!
In the rain, the girl's dark eyebrows and thick eyelashes were covered with rain and mist, but the firm look in her eyes was not blurred at all——
"I, like this flying stone from the sky left by your respected master, are both foreign objects. From now on, I will be your second ring finger." Chang Sui Ning promised: "In the future, just stay by my side with peace of mind.
I have come to ward off disasters for you. No matter what troubles, disasters or evil spirits, I will kill them all for you."
"As for how long you can live, it depends on where I can go." She said: "From now on, wherever I go, you will live."
As long as she has a breath, she will hold the sword tightly and continue to move forward.
"Your Highness, you..." Wujue was shocked when he heard this: "You know everything?"
"You should have told me earlier." Chang Suining helped him up and said, "If I had known earlier, why would you have had to 'travel' like this?"
"But this is unfair to you..." Wujue burst into tears: "I didn't know about Master's arrangement before. If I knew..."
Chang Suining put one of his hands on her shoulders and asked softly: "What? If you knew, you wouldn't have brought me back?"
Wu Jue showed a crying and laughing expression, but that was not possible. No matter what, he wanted to save His Highness, but...
"My subordinate knows that you never like to be coerced into making deals." Wujue's voice was extremely hoarse and choked with sobs as he slowly said: "My subordinate also doesn't want to see you being trapped by anyone or anything again..."
Others cannot trap His Highness, and neither can he, nor should he.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I don't like being coerced into making deals..." Chang Suining helped him to take shelter from the rain under a big tree, let him sit down, and checked for him
The wound on his leg, he said: "But this is a deal with God. It sounds so majestic. How many people have had such an adventure throughout the ages."
"Besides, this is what I want to do myself, and there is no coercion."
Maybe this is the reason "why it's her", everything has been predestined for a long time.
"So making deals with God is just a casual thing."
Her tone was particularly calm and calm.
"So you don't have to feel the burden of guilt. If you really talk about guilt, I owe you a lot."
Wujue shed tears and was about to shake his head and speak when he was interrupted by Chang Suining: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Fortunately, the injury on your leg is not serious and no bones are broken. Now I will take you for treatment."
Wujue raised his hand to wipe his tears and nodded obediently.
It's great that he can listen to His Highness again.
Only at this moment did he truly understand what "a glimmer of hope" His Highness could bring him. His Highness could not only extend his life with his own achievements and let him live, but also allow him to live like a normal person.
.
If a person is rejected by all things in the world while he is alive, he is no different from a walking corpse.
But His Highness never abandoned him, so he was still truly alive.
As Wujue wiped his tears, he looked at the ring on his hand. Should he say it or not, the master had done some human work...
Chang Sui Ning was about to help Wu Jue onto the donkey cart when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of people approaching.
The sound of the horse's hooves was not too urgent. Chang Sui Ning supported Wu Jue with one hand and held the sun down silently with the other. Through the rain and the green and yellow weeds, he looked warily at the source of the sound.
She was ready to ask her subordinates to take Wujue away from behind when the situation went wrong, but she didn't expect that the person coming was actually...
As soon as the carriage stopped, a figure stepped down. He was wearing a sapphire blue round-neck robe with sleeves and a jade crown. His temperament was between a boy and a young man, but his whole body already had the look of an official.
Gaseous state.
The person who came was none other than Yun Hui.
He asked people in the village to inquire before he found this place. At this moment, his eyes caught Chang Sui Ning, and he immediately took the umbrella handed by the driver, opened it and ran towards her quickly.
Chang Suining then helped Wu Jue get up with confidence.
"Ms. Chang, are you okay?" Yun Hui looked a little worried, and when he came up he asked repeatedly: "Has the person been found? Is he in serious trouble?"
There were no greetings or salutes, just the impetuous demeanor of a young man that he rarely showed in front of others in the past.
Chang Sui Ning did not exchange more greetings with him. He shook his head and asked, "Why is Erlang Yun here?"
"I'll do it..." Yun Hui originally wanted to say how he went about his errands, but then he thought about it. As the governor of a state, he couldn't pass through this country road on errands...
He didn't lie after all: "I'm here to find you."
"The magistrate of Nanhe County told me..." He explained: "I heard that you came to Hezhou to look for someone, so I thought maybe I could help... I went to Nanhe County and found out that you left early in the morning.
After asking around all the way, I arrived here."
Chang Suining nodded and looked back at the man who was being escorted towards him: "There happened to be a person here who attempted robbery and attempted robbery, so he was handed over to Governor Yun and will be severely punished by the Guizhou government in accordance with the law."
Yun Hui frowned and looked over. He had made a rough judgment in his mind and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will have people investigate this matter strictly."
At Chang Suining's signal, the woman soldier handed the man over to Yun Hui's attendants.
Seeing many villagers coming towards this place, the man immediately shouted: "...I didn't do anything, I just thought he was a thief, I was just catching a thief!"
"Why are you arresting me!"
"Li Zheng, mother! Help me quickly!"
But he soon discovered that even though he was facing straight, he could not get close to the place and all the villagers were stopped.
What stopped them was Yun Hui's close entourage. The knives in their hands were not unsheathed, but they were enough of a deterrent to these villagers.
The leader of the entourage showed the token of Hezhou Governor's Office.
Li Zheng was shocked, and he knelt down with a plop. Several young and middle-aged villagers beside him were unaware of the situation, but when they saw Li Zheng kneel down, they all followed suit in panic.
The man became even more frightened when he saw this. Why did Li Zheng kneel down? Is he an official? They and Zhou didn't have such a young official! No, except...
Could it be Governor Yun?!
The man looked at Yun Hui and was shaking like a sieve for a moment. He also wanted to kneel down, but was controlled by the follower and couldn't move at all. He could only beg for mercy with trembling lips and tears: "...Sir, please forgive me!
"
He looked at the group of children who had followed the adults and said loudly: "It's them! It was those children who told me that a thief had stolen something! That's when I misunderstood!"
Among the crowd, an old woman with a rag in her hand knelt down with trembling hands and feet in fear: "My son... my son is a good man! He is going to join the army soon... Dear nobles, please don't be unjust.
Him!"
The old woman cried and bowed down in panic and fear, and said somewhat incoherently: "There must be some misunderstanding here... Please show mercy, adults!"
The group of children were so frightened that they cried under the adults' questioning. The crowd was in chaos, and several people of the same race knelt down to beg for mercy.
"I have nothing to do with you, otherwise let's forget it..." Wujue, who was supported by Chang Suining, looked at the villagers begging for mercy and the old woman, with blank compassion in his eyes, and his voice
Very low, as if saying to oneself: "All living beings are suffering..."
Yun Hui led people forward to stabilize the situation, and there were only him and Chang Sui Ning under the tree at the moment.
"Just now, my subordinates realized the truth in a trance and thought of those Buddhist teachings of self-sacrifice..."
"All this happened today because of me. If I had never been here, this evil thought would not have happened..."
Listening patiently to the intermittent whispers, Chang Sui Ning finally said: "Wrong."
She said: "Even if his evil thoughts were aroused by you, they were not born of you. Even if you are despised by all things in the world, you are only despised. Otherwise, you would not have come here alive. But he just now is
It’s not your fault that I want to kill you for money—”
"His evil lies in himself. Even if you are not there today, if a weak person with wealth appears in the future, it will also arouse his desire to kill."
Wujue's eyes were still a bit blank: "This subordinate, along the way, has always thought that maybe all these encounters are tests..."
He himself was not sure what was right. He was just worried: "Since it is a world-saving plan, maybe every step His Highness takes is crucial, or maybe everything is a test."
"Is it a test to become a Buddha?" Chang Sui Ning raised his head slightly and looked at the gloomy sky through the gaps in the branches: "But becoming a Buddha cannot save this world. If a Buddha appears at this time, he will only be affected by the evil thoughts of this world.
Greed swallows them all up.”
"If the world wants to save this world, it must use the methods of the world, not the methods of the Buddha."
She cannot become a Buddha, and she has no intention of becoming a Buddha, so why should she do what a Buddha should do?
She didn't know if it was true as Wujue's induction said. All this might be a test of God's will. She only knew one thing -
"Since you want me to save you, then I should have the final say on what this world should be like."
The girl raised her head under the camphor tree, as if talking to heaven and earth: "I want evildoers in this world to be punished, and those who suffer injustice to be heard. Those who make a living for themselves as common people must not let them drown in the hearts of the people.
The sea of hell of evil thoughts.”
She wants this world to be a world she feels is worthy of.
If not, how can we save it, why should we save it, and what is the point of saving it?
Wujue looked at the girl's raised profile with some confusion, and the fog in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate with her bright eyes.
"There is more than one path in this world, but I only follow the path I want to follow. I believe it is right, and it is right." Chang Suining turned to look at him: "You don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to
Forgive sins that should not be forgiven, you have given enough mercy to this world."
She said: "In the future, the most compassionate thing you should learn is how to treat yourself well."
Wu Jue's eyes turned red silently.
Chang Suining finally said to him: "If it's fate, you chose me and recommended yourself to me in the first place, then you have to believe in me."
Wujue's eyes were full of tears, but he finally showed a relieved smile: "Yes... Your Majesty, Your Highness Xin."
Chang Suining helped him out from under the tree.
Yun Hui walked over quickly and raised the umbrella in his hand above Chang Suining's head.
Because Wu Jue was injured, Yun Hui suggested that Chang Sui Ning take Wu Jue into his carriage.
The man was put into a donkey cart by Yun Hui's followers and sent to the government office for interrogation and punishment.
"...After verification, I will also have people properly discipline and educate those children involved."
After getting on the carriage, Yun Hui's apologetic eyes fell on Wu Jue, who was wrapped in a cloak and huddled next to Chang Sui Ning like a frightened poor creature: "It's because of my mistakes in governing that evil people can easily appear and hurt people.
Act of."
He was really ashamed, especially when this happened to Chang Suining and the person she was looking for.
