For several years, Yi Chenjing would always be awakened by nightmares at night.
The beginning of the dream is very beautiful. It is often him, Hung Hom, and Xiao Yingge playing and running by the Zhaoguo River. Gradually, fog begins to form on the shore. When he stops and looks around blankly, he can no longer see the two little girls.
From the child's figure, only disembodied whispers could be heard.
Take me away with Xiao Yingge. The three of us will be together forever, okay?
Well, as long as I can marry you, I don't care about anything.
That was a promise made by Hong Xiao in his arms many, many years ago, and the two of them had a half-day of leisure. It seemed casual but was made seriously. Every word is still in my heart. Where is Hong Xiao? Where has she gone? No.
Did she long ago agree to wait for him and marry her when he becomes a general that no one dares to bully? Why didn't she show up? He did it! He cut off the heads of countless enemies and trampled through many city-states to listen to the defeated.
Weeping, he stands above thousands of people in red clothes and iron armor, only pretending to surrender to his old and dying father, why can't he marry Hong Hao?
"Because..." The faint voice sounded like it was coming from underground, and a red figure walked slowly through the mist, its face changed from blurry to clear, and its smile seemed like it was from another world, "Because I am already dead..."
In an instant, Princess Yue Rong's red gauze was so beautiful that it eclipsed the moonlight. Her stunningly beautiful face was covered with dazzling blood, and it was cold and terrifying.
The dream would end abruptly with heavy breathing. For almost four years, this nightmare has been chasing Yi Chenjing endlessly, and her heart has slowly become stiff and cold. I thought it would be a lifetime of torture.
But I don’t know when it disappeared unknowingly. Occasionally, when I recall it, there is no hatred anymore, only conflicts and entanglements.
Hong Xiao and Bai Qi Ge were both women destined by God to be imprinted in his life.
After putting on a ruthless mask and forcing Bai Qige away, Yi Chenjing has been in a busy and depressed state. The Iron Yan Formation is a difficult problem before the soldiers. It is so difficult that he can only watch the soldiers' anger rising but does not dare to easily challenge it.
The more anxious you are, the harder it is to calm down. Maybe it has something to do with Bai Qige not being around.
Xiao Baishan and Qiao Erhe were dispatched one after another but came back without any news. Yi Chenjing's gradually panicked mood made it impossible to sit in the camp. She had to go outside every few hours to take a look. Perhaps she understood his distress and was calm that day.
When Face walked to the west entrance, hurried horse hooves and inaudible curses entered his eyes, and then a figure appeared that made his depression disappear in an instant.
"Qi Ge?!" The fierce horse's four hooves are like the wind, its thin body is proud and straight, and its thin lips and pursed cheeks are just like what he is most familiar with, resolute and unwilling to admit defeat.
At that moment, Yi Chenjing was full of joy. He had never thought that he would be so depressed and irritable because of Bai Qige's departure. Although he kept convincing himself that everything he did was for her good, he deliberately let it go in order not to be taken advantage of by Yi Chenxuan.
She fled in despair, but she felt empty and lost in the end, and even had a trace of regret that she tried to hide. Because of this, when Bai Qige unexpectedly reappeared in front of him, his first reaction was to run towards that stubborn woman.
, no matter what.
He missed her, really missed her.
No matter how fast a person's steps are, there are many things that cannot be faster than the passage of time, such as the beauty and old age, and such as an arrow leaving the string.
When the sharp arrow came close to her vest, Bai Qige, who had abandoned her vigilance, did not notice it at all. She almost forgot how dangerous she was in, nor did she remember that besides the two teams trapped in the trap, there were twenty people watching with eagerness. She even heard someone behind her.
Only after a sharp roar cut through the wind did he realize that this little life was not out of danger yet.
Countless things can happen in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, millions of lives are born and many souls disappear in the world. When Bai Qige rushed towards the camp and forgot to be vigilant and defended, she suddenly realized that someone was attacking her with cold arrows from behind. However, when she secretly thought that it was terrible and cold,
, an unexpected turning point comes again.
The fatal feather arrow failed to hit the thin back accurately. There was a slight crisp sound. The moment Bai Qige tried her best to bend her body to the ground and steer the horse to the side, three long arrows fell to the ground - no, it shouldn't be said to be three, in fact.
There were only two arrows, but one of them was broken.
The cold arrow was shot from behind Bai Qige, so Yi Chenjing didn't see it. It wasn't until Bai Qige turned pale and fell from the horse that she realized someone was attacking her.
Taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time, Yi Chenjing rushed to Bai Qige's side. Yi Chenjing almost reflexively covered her with his broad body, fearing that the arrow was not the end and more attacks would come from behind. She watched.
With the broken arrow lying quietly on the ground, Bai Qige immediately realized that she had been rescued again. If someone hadn't been lucky enough to shoot off the arrow, then there must have been an unimaginable master secretly helping her.
After taking a long breath and pushing Yi Chenjing, who was hugging her closely, Bai Qige said in a low voice, "Get up, you're crushing me."
Yi Chenjing also saw Broken Arrow, but he was not as relieved as Bai Qige. He wrapped her up tightly because he was wearing iron armor and was not easily injured, just like a defenseless baby in his arms. He raised his head and shouted angrily.
, dozens of soldiers hurriedly rushed to the outside of the camp and stood behind the two, completely cutting off the possibility of being attacked by another sneak attack. Yi Chenjing relaxed slightly and his face softened slightly: "Go to the camp, it's not safe outside."
"I know," Bai Qige did not panic, but remained calm and collected, "First send people to arrest the people outside who are pretending to be patrolling soldiers. There are about thirty people, and they were the ones who secretly attacked us."
The important area behind the camp was actually tightly surrounded by thirty unknown pretenders. What if something happened? Yi Chenjing took a breath and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to arrest those people quickly, and then ignored the public gaze.
How many people lowered their heads to discuss, picked up Bai Qige and hurriedly walked into the Yaojun camp.
No one saw it. A hundred feet away, deep in the grass, a beautiful man in plain clothes smiled slightly and seemed to be satisfied with his masterpiece. In his green eyes, he could see the sneak attacker holding his blood-stained wrist and wailing.
At the scene, he casually threw a wooden bow into the grass nest. Not far away were the nine people who were besieged by Bai Qige's design. However, they were all unconscious at this time. There was a low cry of a horse, and the people escorting him silently
The foreign man looked at the bushes and hesitated for a moment, then rode away.
"Are you injured?"
"No."
"real?"
"What did I lie to you about?" Bai Qige rolled her eyes and laughed angrily, "Do you look like I'm hurt?"
Yi Chenjing shook his head: "No, it's more ferocious than a jackal."
With a defense line of thirty people, how could he comment on how an unarmed female prostitute had just barged in? If it were him, he would have to think carefully and be forced into a desperate situation before he would make such a move. He carried Bai Qige back to the general's camp.
Yi Chenjing calmly ordered no one to reveal the news that she had returned. Of course, he also understood that this matter could not be hidden for long - with Su Jinyan here, what could be hidden from the cunning Yi Chenxuan?
After confirming that Bai Qige was fine, Yi Chenjing's face turned even colder, with deep anger: "I will make him pay tens of millions of times the price."
"Who?" Bai Qige was stunned, and then she thought of who he was talking about. She shook her head lightly and said, "Those people were not sent by Yi Chenxuan. If I am not mistaken, there is a third party involved in this overt and covert struggle."
The thunders came one after another, which was a bit difficult for Yi Chenjing to digest. Her two eyebrows were twisted into a ball, which made Bai Qige feel distressed.
"Don't think about this for now. The most important thing now is to suppress the arrogance of the Holohe Khanate. If this continues, the soldiers will definitely not be able to help but cause trouble. General Xiao said that none of you have ever come into contact with the Iron Swallow Formation. Even the recorded
I didn’t bring any book on the art of war, but fortunately I still remember most of it, but I need to draw the formation diagram first——"
"Why are you back?" Bai Qige said anxiously, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Yi Chenjing. His handsome face changed from the worried look before to an expression of indifference, "We finally escaped, so you are not afraid that I won't be able to catch Bai Haoyu."
Do you take the blame? You know very well how much I hate those who hurt Hung Hom."
Bai Qige smiled bitterly.
Naturally, she knows best. It was Yi Chenjing who carefully planned to turn her into a treasonous citizen in the past. It was he who allowed Yun Zhongjin and his men to humiliate her in every possible way. It was also he who deliberately planned to force her to marry into the distant country.
Devastation, if she hadn't gritted her teeth and carried it, there would have been only a handful of loess and a pile of bones today. Now the truth has come to light, she is indeed the culprit who killed Princess Hongxiao. It is natural for him to want revenge, even if
It would not be an exaggeration to kill her, but she believed that Yi Chenjing would not do this.
"If you want to avenge Princess Hongxiao, why do you need to create an opportunity for me to take Xiaoyu away? And General Xiao, Qiao Erhe, do you dare to say that they did not accept your order to protect me? I was confused, and at first I actually
I really believed in the play you acted, and I thought that no matter how much you sacrificed, it would never be enough to equal the status of Princess Hongxiao in your heart. Fortunately, there is always some God who does not want you to lie to people again and again." He stretched out his hand and held Cangjin's hand.
Holding her hands, Bai Qige looked into those deep eyes, with a light smile on her lips, "Thank you for always thinking about me."
Yi Chenjing turned away and stopped talking, staring at the ground with complex eyes.
Does she believe him so much? If he tells her that he is still not sure who is more important between her and Hong Xiao, will the relationship between the two be cracked again?
That was the Hung Hom, a gentle woman whom he had admired since childhood and swore to marry her and protect her for the rest of his life. She was the culprit who killed Hung Hom. If she abandoned her old vows and made a lifelong promise to her enemy, God would really do it.
Forgive him?
Will Hung Hom forgive his betrayal?
The warm fingers were suddenly removed, and Bai Qige could feel that Yi Chenjing was deliberately avoiding her.
"Why are you the only one coming back? Where are General Xiao and Qiao Erhe?"
The thin cheeks were slightly sad, and the smile was a little stiff: "General Xiao was seriously injured and is currently recuperating in Lingyun City. I almost forgot about Qiao Erhe. He was also injured, but it was not serious. I hid him.
He's in the bushes at the west entrance, it's time to send someone trustworthy to bring him back."
"I will send someone to do this. You should rest for a while and eat something first, and then draw the formation of the Iron Yan Formation." Yi Chenjing turned around, with a calm expression that surprised Bai Qige.
"The formation diagram is easy to draw, but it only takes a stick of incense to complete. But...does it need to be in such a hurry?"
Yi Chenjing did not answer, but opened the curtain and put one hand behind his back. His fingertips were trembling hardly visible to the naked eye.
Say it, even if it hurts her heart, you have to say it eventually.
"When you finish drawing the formation diagram, leave as far away as possible - never come back again."
