It was night and there was a strong wind outside the tent.
The officers and soldiers were so exhausted after a busy day that they lay huddled together under the tent and slept in their wet clothes.
Xiao Yinhan was lying alone in the tent. The shrill wind whistled in the tent, but he couldn't sleep.
To be precise, he has lost the ability to sleep since that person was gone.
Never fall asleep unless you are extremely tired.
He just didn't expect that this painful disease would save his life tonight.
The moment the curtain was opened by the thin blade, Xiao Yinhan's muscles tensed up and he became alert.
In the blink of an eye, several men in black flashed into his tent, and several long knives with cold light slashed at the bed at the same time, but - it was all empty!
Where are people?
However, just when the men in black missed the target and were shocked, a cold light from behind struck down with a heavy coldness, and one of them was killed on the spot.
The men in black came to their senses and faced him with swords raised.
For a moment, swords and lights were intertwined in the tent, and Xiao Yinhan was fighting with several assassins.
Normally, the guards and soldiers around him should have rushed in due to such a noise, but they didn't.
It wasn't until Xiao Yinhan found that his hands and feet were weak and almost unable to hold the sword that he realized he had been drugged!
He was furious, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into reality: "Who sent you here?"
At this critical moment of emergency rescue and disaster relief, he dared to drug the officers and soldiers in order to kill him. No matter who it was, he would never let it go!
With resentment in his heart, the movements in his hands became more and more fierce, and he quickly killed all these people before the potion took full effect.
The wind and rain roared together, and when the last man in black was killed, Xiao Yinhan finally took effect and let himself fall to his knees on the ground.
At this moment, a strong wind from behind struck his neck with fatal force.
They actually have a backup plan!
But even though he knew it, he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
Knowing that he could not escape this disaster, Xiao Yinhan felt a surge of sadness in his heart. If he had known this, he should have gone to see her at all costs.
Tangtang……
There was a crisp sound of "clang", half of the blade fell in front of him, and the sound of fighting came from behind.
Xiao Yinhan was shocked and turned around with great effort, only to see a thin figure moving ghostly among the assassins. Wherever it passed, there were drops of blood like threads.
As if aware of his gaze, the man looked back at him before leaving.
At this moment, lightning flashed in the night sky, allowing him to clearly see the coldness in the other person's eyes...disgust?
"Who are you……"
What answered him was the man's back floating away like the wind.
I don't know how much time passed like this, but when Xiao Yinhan's eyelids were so heavy that he was about to pass out, there was a loud "bang" outside, which made people's hearts tremble like the earth was shattering.
The officers and soldiers who were originally "sleeping" were awakened one by one.
"Xiao Yinhan, are you okay?"
The tent was pushed open from the outside with great force. As soon as Cui Shuwang and his men came in, they almost tripped over the corpses scattered on the ground.
Seeing this scene, he paused for breath.
It wasn't until he pulled out the man with his eyes open from the pile of corpses that he regained his composure.
But his brows quickly furrowed again: "Something happened outside! There was a loud explosion from nowhere, and a sinkhole was created on the ground. The people were frightened. I will take you out first..."
Cui Shuwang and the guards held Xiao Yinhan up and walked out. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice:
"It's the flood caused by King Rong! He is the lone star of evil spirits descending to earth! Wherever he is, God will send down punishment!"
What the hell?
Uncle Cui's face darkened: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and catch this guy who is deceiving others with his lies!"
If he hadn't been holding on to someone else, I would have really wanted to catch him myself.
As the officers and soldiers approached, the man shouted louder:
"This disaster was caused by King Rong. When he came to Huai'an, God brought floods! As long as King Rong is here, the punishment from heaven will not stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly turned around and jumped into the water. At the same time, there was another loud bang in the distance, and the people fell to the ground in fear and begged for mercy:
"God have mercy! God have mercy! It's none of our business! It's none of our business..."
The heavy rain was still pouring down, soaking everyone's clothes.
Cui Shuwang was stunned by this scene. After he came to his senses, he said loudly: "Don't listen to his nonsense! King Rong is obviously here to save you! If he hadn't brought the officers and soldiers, no one here would have survived! Yours
Are you all blind? Don’t you know how to see? You..."
The person he was supporting suddenly let go and fell to the ground.
Before falling into coma, Xiao Yinhan's lips curled up into a sneer that was almost nonchalant:
See, this is the result.
No matter what a person like him does, he will end up like this -
All the people have rebelled against their relatives, and all the people have spurned them.
-
"It can't really be..."
"It just...it started to rain after we arrived."
"It would have been fine if he hadn't come. My son and my husband wouldn't have died either..."
Uncle Cui walked past the camp with a cold face. His good temper had been combustible and explosive in the past few days.
Although occasionally there are a few "fair words", such as: "King Rong clearly came to Huai'an for disaster relief. He and his people saved the people here. You can't say such unconscionable words!"
Or: "That person is uneasy and kind-hearted at first glance. If what he said is true, he should stay and confront him! Instead of jumping to death without any evidence, those who believe him are fools!"
But it's not enough to calm him down. Just wait, he will definitely find out the person behind it and crush him into ashes!
It is extremely vicious to use this kind of tactics to slander people!
Cui Shuwang stopped in front of the tent, which was guarded by soldiers. After the accident that night, Xiao Yinhan changed to a new tent and arranged guards.
"Is the prince inside?"
The soldiers looked at each other: "Come back to Zhonglang General, the prince has gone to the hillside."
Cui Shuwang frowned: "Where is he going and what is he doing?"
Almost all the victims in this area have been "fished out". In the past few days, the main thing is to wait for the rain to stop. There are very few people going to the hillside.
Xiao Yinhan stood alone on the hillside, the silky rain had wet his clothes, but he didn't notice it at all.
Watching the corpses of people and domestic animals floating down from the turbid river, they were as small as ants.
Compared with Cui Shuwang's anger and irritability, he actually didn't feel much about the fearful glances he cast from time to time.
He just suddenly felt that it was meaningless. This world was meaningless, and people were meaningless. He didn't know what the purpose of living was.
It was as if the body and limbs clearly belonged to him, but he had no desire to move.
Just standing here makes me feel inexplicably tired.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his ears were immediately filled with endless curses and curses that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Two hundred and thirty-one days...
If he jumped from here, would all the pain and confusion end?
"What is the prince looking at?"
A faint and ethereal voice came from behind with a hint of curiosity.
Xiao Yinhan was shocked. This voice, this voice was...
He turned around with an awkward and stiff movement, and saw the girl holding a red umbrella standing not far away and smiling at him, as if a bright flower suddenly bloomed in the gray world.
In an instant, his whole world collapsed and turned around, and all he could see was her...
