Sima Jue turned back to look at me, his eyes sparkling with inquiry. It seemed like there was a heavy stone pressing down on my heart. I had thousands of words but could not say them out. I could only say in a cautious voice: "You, be careful!"
The corners of his pursed lips raised upwards, he nodded vigorously to me, and walked away.
"Miss, it's cold outside, go back." Naya was standing beside me, shaking her body.
I hid in my room all day and found a piece of cloth to wrap some valuable things. I never had any silver with me, so I had to pick out a few valuable things and wrap them up. I couldn't take the big ones, because it would be more inconvenient to take them out.
Yang Zhong and Liang Hu were always guarding the gate of the yard. Even when I went to the plum garden, they followed me. However, I still saw that on the plum tree I marked in the plum garden, there was a small section next to the branch I broke. The red line was almost invisible unless you looked closely. I returned to the yard with confidence.
I sat and lay restlessly in my room, waiting for it to get dark.
It was just getting dark, so I randomly ate some cold snacks on the table, hid in the room and waited while holding my packed baggage.
I wanted to tell Naya to rest early and not to disturb me. Then I realized that I haven’t seen her since lunch. This girl is really lazy. The master doesn’t call me and doesn’t come over to ask me. Hot, hungry and full, this is really not as good as Cailing Niu. I really miss her. I don’t know how she is. The figure of Sima Jue when he left appeared in my mind again. He leaned over and whispered "Wait for me", which made me think My heart trembles every time.
When I was thinking wildly, I heard a noise in the yard. I wondered, wasn't it scheduled for the third watch? Then the action started at the second watch. I quietly looked out from the window, and only heard the sound coming from the front yard. The harsh sound of swords clashing together.
I took my baggage and quietly went to the yard. After a while, I heard the footsteps of Yang Zhong and Liang Hu running to the front yard from the door. As soon as I walked towards the wall, I saw a man jumping down from the wall. When I saw who it was, I felt a sudden chill on my neck, and a knife was placed across my neck.
"Go in!" the person behind me whispered, pushing me into the house.
When I got inside the house, I saw clearly the person behind me, it was Naya.
She had a cold look, completely different from her usual look of lowered eyebrows and eyes. She pushed me to the ground.
I sneered and said: "Naya! So you are just pretending all this? You pretended not to understand the Central Plains dialect and deceived the prince of Yue that your parents were killed by the Shiguo people and you were left alone and helpless just to enter the palace and kill me? Why? ?I have no enmity or enmity with you!"
Naya scowled, snorted coldly, spoke fluently in Central Plains dialect, and said bitterly: "Yes, I did this just to take revenge in the palace. It is true that my parents were killed, but they were not killed by people from the Stone Kingdom. But it’s Sima Jue, this damned devil. He slaughtered our tribe and even killed our leader a few days ago, all because of you, you damn bitch.”
She said that as soon as she put a little force on the knife in her hand, I immediately felt pain in my neck, and a stream of warm liquid flowed down. I panicked under the pressure and couldn't let her kill her. Judging from Naya's flexible figure, she must be good at kung fu. Not weak, I was really too careless before, I actually believed her, thinking that what Sima Jue found was safe. It turned out that he also had a kind side.
Na Ya then gritted her teeth and said: "If I can't kill Sima Jue, then I will use his princess to sacrifice my people and my lord. Let's see if he can save you this time!"
"Wait!" I said hurriedly, "Naya, why did you come with me? I'm not mean to you, so listen to me first." I tried to delay as much time as possible, that would be helpful.
"When death is imminent, you can't even think of playing tricks!"
"It seems that you leaked all the news in the mansion?" I asked, "Did you also create the chaos in the front yard?"
"Yes, but it's a pity that you understood too late, go to hell!" Naya said and was about to take action, but I smiled at her and said, "Are you sure it's me who dies?"
Naya was stunned, but before she could understand, the tip of a black sword had been exposed from her chest.
Naya opened her eyes wide and struggled and turned her head in disbelief. Lou Yang pulled out his sword and a column of blood spurted out in all directions. The smell of blood filled the air.
I suppressed my shock and nausea, and looked at Naya with her eyes wide open and her mouth bleeding. Her body suddenly fell to the side, and she tried to struggle towards me, but she threw the candle on the ground.
The fire immediately ignited on the curtain and spread quickly around.
"You're injured." Lou Yang said anxiously when he saw my neck was bleeding.
"It's okay, let's go quickly." I casually wiped the blood on my neck. The fire in the room became stronger. I was choking and coughing and crying. Lou Yang helped me up and ran towards the courtyard. There were already footsteps coming towards me in the front yard.
Running over, Lou Yang couldn't help but put his arms around my waist and pinched me. He jumped to a roof beam outside the courtyard and stopped. The two of us coughed and gasped.
I lay on the roof beam and looked at the yard of the Dudu's Mansion not far away. Standing high and looking far away, I could see the burning yard at a glance. The biting cold wind in winter was howling, and the fire started to burn quickly with the wind. Soon I
The house where I lived was in a thick smoke, and the guards were already shouting in panic to put out the fire.
Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure, rushing like an arrow towards the burned-out house where I lived.
It's Sima Jue! He's back! As the familiar figure rushed into the sea of fire, my heart also tightened, and my body involuntarily leaned forward from the roof beam. Lou Yang was busy pulling me aside, "Be careful.
!”
I ignored it completely and stared intently at the familiar figure in the fire scene. The figure that rushed into the sea of fire was quickly dragged out by many guards. No matter how he struggled, how he beat and scolded the guards to show their loyalty, he would not let go.
Open him.
Finally, with the sound of crackling fire as the roof completely collapsed, Sima Jue suddenly stopped struggling, and the guards let him go.
I saw him stand up slowly, look at the collapsed house, and suddenly let out a heart-rending cry of "Sirou!" This voice came to my ears as clearly as my ears. It was instantly in my mind.
The only thing left was Sima Jue's shout. This shout was like an extremely bright lightning in the sky, a long rainbow piercing the sun, passing through the thick clouds, breaking through the blazing flames, and hitting my heart directly.
above.
Then I saw him spurting out a mouthful of blood. The red color stung my eyes under the light of the fire.
I opened my eyes wide and stared blankly at the sea of fire, watching the familiar tall body fall straight backwards.
As he fell, my body suddenly shook. Suddenly my heart seemed to be hit into pieces and scattered around. I suddenly felt a suffocating pain in my chest, like being stabbed by a needle. This pain made me move.
I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe smoothly, my throat felt as if something was blocked, my teeth were chattering up and down, I wanted to shout but couldn't, and I wanted to cry, but it was choked from my throat to my nose, making me unable to breathe, and my brain went blank for a moment.
I forgot everything around me, only the scenery around me was swaying rapidly in front of my eyes. Even the sea of fire jumping wantonly not far away gradually blurred in front of my eyes, and eventually merged into the vast black, and my body fell softly.
Get tired...
"Sirou...!"
…
It has been five days since we left Bogulujun Town. Lou Yang and I have been walking in the direction of Nanqi. I want to appear in front of my parents in Nanqi and let them know that I am still alive, so I don’t want to fight with Sima Jue.
We met each other. Although Sima Jue analyzed various unfavorable situations that would arise, I still wanted to act according to the situation and help him.
Lou Yang didn't express any opinions and just stayed with me silently.
I feel that there is such a friend who I can trust my back to, and I will have no regrets in this life!
It's just that my spirit is really poor and depressed. No matter how much I try to heal it, I can't cover up the crack in my heart.
I know that I can't let go of Sima Jue, and I think he must think that I have perished in the sea of fire.
His falling figure appeared in front of me from time to time in the firelight, and every time it appeared, my eye sockets burned.
In order to cover up this kind of heartache and seek comfort from time to time, he could marry Tang Lingyi with peace of mind in order to have a "big tree of support", or he could take Coba Meisi as his concubine in order to appease the foreign race, or he could give her to the persistent
I confessed to Rong Jinglan that I loved him dearly, but I was of no use except causing him trouble.
Maybe, as he said, I was in vain for the title of "Reincarnated Ice Queen". This title can only bring trouble to him, but not benefit to him. Cooperating with me is also an expedient measure for him.
Bar.
Even if I think like this, my heart will still feel inexplicable cramps. I don't know who will cure me from this pain, who will soothe me, and who can make my heart heal.
Today is New Year's Eve, and we have arrived at "Sanliu Town" again. The town is very lively and people are full of joy. No matter what age or how chaotic the world is, it will never stop people from yearning for a better life.
Probably because of the festival, the inns on the street were not open. I remembered the inn where I was, discussed it with Lou Yang, and after wandering around, I found the inn called "Youfang" again. I tried to knock
After waiting for a long time, the door finally opened, and it turned out to be the boss.
When the boss saw it was Lou Yang and me, his face clearly flashed with surprise, and he quickly let us into the inn with enthusiasm, still saying, "We have a room, we have a room, please come in!" The wife of the boss was also stunned when she saw it.
He still greeted me and kept talking enthusiastically.
Lou Yang and I are the only two guests staying in the entire inn, so it really fits the name of "you room".
On New Year's Eve, we had New Year's Eve dinner with the boss and his wife. I thought again of what Sima Jue said to me the night before I left. He took me to see aliens celebrating the New Year. I wonder how he is doing now?
Lou Yang picked up the wine and said to the boss and his wife: "Today is New Year's Eve. Last time we were robbed by gangsters. Although we lost our belongings, we were lucky enough to survive. It was God's blessing. I thought we would never see the boss and his family again."
Oh, God has opened his eyes and allowed us to meet again. Those who survived the disaster will have good fortune in the future. I respect you both."
The boss was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his glass and said: "Meeting is fate. In the last encounter, the old man and Zhuo Jing were lucky enough to hide under the bed and avoid being killed. It is really a great blessing among misfortunes! It is really an eye-opener from God." The boss.
Sighing, he and Lou Yang drank wine, and then sighed: "After the New Year, my wife and I have to leave here."
The landlady responded: "There's going to be a war here. The world is not peaceful anymore. It's really hard for people to make a living."
"Who's hitting whom?" I asked.
The boss sighed and said: "Prince Yue and Liu Dingsheng, the Governor of Shafangzhijie, are about to take action." I was surprised, Liu Dingsheng was indeed forced to rebel by Sima Jue!
Lou Yang wondered at the side: "Both parties are stationed governors of the Northern Jin Dynasty. Do you know why they want to take action?"
The boss said: "I heard that Liu Dingsheng was forced to rebel by his two lieutenants. The two lieutenants had been at odds for a long time. Liu Dingsheng originally tried to persuade them to make peace, but the two of them had deep grudges and privately resented Liu Dingsheng for favoring the other. This was not the case some time ago.
They disagreed and led their troops to fight. Liu Dingsheng dealt with the two in military law and wanted to suppress the matter. It happened that the Yue Prince came to borrow troops. One of the lieutenants became resentful and took the opportunity to defect to the Yue Prince and accused Liu Dingsheng of treason.
Prince Yue did not believe what he said. Unexpectedly, another deputy general also joined Prince Yue and accused Liu Dingsheng of treason. In order to verify the evidence, Prince Yue asked people to watch the two lieutenants. Liu Dingsheng was already angry with the two lieutenants.
Instead of lending troops to Prince Yue, a conflict broke out. He actually had a different intention and imprisoned Prince Yue. He also sent troops to attack Bogulu Military Town, and I'm afraid they will arrive here in a few days."
"What happened to Prince Yue?" I stood up suddenly in shock.
