The mighty black velvet flag fluttered in the wind. Directly under the flag was Major General Rock with a resolute expression.
He had never been so helpless and confused since leaving his hometown. Although all his men were gathered behind him, and although every soldier was fully equipped and full of energy, the anxiety in his heart could not be calmed down - because Cohen did not
Give him any order!
As a senior general of the Royal Guards, Rock has always regarded obeying the emperor's orders as the only form of loyalty. Moreover, the attributes of this Guards are very unique - they are Cohen's personal dagger, and Cohen is their
The object of protection is also their only and most direct commander, so the hierarchy between the upper and lower levels is simple, and there is no staff department in the organization. Without clear orders, their tyrannical strength cannot be exerted at all.
In fact, even if Cohen does not issue any orders, the Guards can still complete the mission of protecting Cohen on a general level. But for Cohen, Sibia soldiers, especially soldiers who have grown up with a series of wars
, in addition to enough thoughts of loyalty, they also have strong feelings in their minds, feelings that cannot be described by any oath. Naturally, what they want to protect is not only Cohen's safety, but also more things, although
That's not their mission.
No one, including Rock, understood what happened, but the experience accumulated from serving the emperor for a long time could tell that something big must have happened to Cohen!
Therefore, in the first moment, Yan Shi used the privileges of the Guards general, mobilized his men, intelligence, and supplies, and pursued him while sleeping in the open air. He also received a tip from Bai Ying on the road, and finally met Cohen here.
In this pleasant wilderness, a strange scene took place - the entourage of the first princess surrounded the carriage of the princess, the security troops surrounded the entourage, and the guards surrounded the security troops on the outside. Except for the rocks
The rest of the Guards led by him were kneeling on the ground. The so-called "it is difficult to perform a courtesy because of the armor" cannot be said in front of Emperor Sibia.
The people closest to the imperial concubine's carriage were her entourage. Previously, a black whirlwind penetrated the carriage, scaring everyone into a cold sweat. Later they found out that it was His Majesty Cohen, but the frightened feeling did not disappear...
Three agonizing hours passed, and the pale-faced Cohen Keda got off the carriage. He silently tore off a pair of ladies' side saddles from a certain horse and mounted it on his mount.
Then, Cohen got back into the car and took the first princess out. The princess's body was wrapped in a thin blanket, with only a strand of long hair hanging down from the edge of the blanket... Seeing this scene, those who were still paying attention
He immediately lowered his gaze, not daring to look again.
The emperor's mount has never been so well-behaved. It leaned down and let its tired-looking owner settle everything before slowly standing up. Then, with a slight hiss, it slowly raised its hooves and headed towards the Guards flag - including
Inside the rock, thousands of Guardsmen adjusted their positions in a tacit understanding, splitting their formation to both sides to make way for a wide passage.
The speed of the little crow slowly increased, but it moved extremely smoothly. Cohen was not distracted and walked through the Guards without saying a word, holding Feilin in his arms.
Rock made a few gestures and ordered dozens of teams of rangers to follow Cohen from a distance. The elf magician took off and the large army slowly turned around. The troops he belonged to were the elite of the Guards. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, without even a trace.
There was no confusion at all - it was not until these thousands of troops disappeared into the horizon that the entourage of the First Princess realized what was going on and hurriedly conveyed the news to the Holy Capital.
Shi Yan was very hesitant about whether to report to the Holy Capital. From a job perspective, he was not obligated to report to anyone, but this matter was obviously getting more and more serious...
After much thought, and finally under the guidance of a certain great elf, Rock sent messengers to the other three imperial concubines, the general liaison officer, and the general staff officer. As for the others, the imperial concubine's entourage would notify them themselves.
Although there is a certain degree of development in the areas close to Xindu, they are relatively concentrated around Xindu. Not far from the road are virgin forests and wilderness. In the past, there were only a few villages of the Thirty-Six Tribes, but now they are even more sparsely populated.
For ordinary troops, this kind of terrain is quite troublesome, and even the elite Guardsmen are troubled. Fortunately, Cohen is not fast, and Bai Ying secretly helps, otherwise the rock would have lost him long ago.
Already.
The very nervous Rock also knew this time that Cohen was in a bad mood, so of course he did not dare to send anyone to contact him. He just dispersed some people out of Cohen's sight for protection, and the large force occupied the support positions in different directions, and then sent more people.
Someone with quick hands and feet and a quick mind should take care of the emperor and his wife... The so-called care means preparing a tent with water, food, and everything Cohen needs in a location suitable for rest and camping, and then fleeing far away.
Fortunately, Cohen did not stop Rock from doing this, which made Rock's worries a little calmer, but in fact, on Cohen's side...
Cohen is in a lot of trouble right now, his whole body and mind are like this. He has no time to pay attention to these sneaky subordinates. Frankly speaking, even if the demon coalition forces come now and Sibia is about to perish, Cohen will have no time to be distracted.
Emotionally, Cohen is still angry, and even more resentful of Feline's decisive approach. His words "I hate you too" came from the bottom of his heart. But in the final analysis, Feline's situation today has a lot to do with him, and it has a lot to do with him.
Although Feilin could not be said to be in perfect harmony with each other, he could not imagine life without her...
To put it bluntly, he couldn't let Feilin die. It had nothing to do with other things, other people, or even the names of each other as husband and wife...
He only had one very simple and direct idea left: Feilin cannot be allowed to die! You can ignore other things, bloodline, power, get the hell out of here!
However, compared to emotions that can be simplified or even temporarily suppressed, Feline's situation caused Cohen greater physical troubles.
It is a tradition that every royal family has drugs and equipment used to end their own lives, and Cohen used various methods as early as when Feline became ill, either restricting the tools or substituting drugs, just to prevent
What if she couldn't think of something stupid... But she didn't expect that this level of arrangement still failed to prevent things from happening.
In terms of effects, what Feilin took was the best among the poisons. It was extremely violent and there was absolutely no time for treatment. However, Feilin had been suffering from illness and had been taking various precious medicines for a long time. Countless people lined up every day to take them.
The most direct way to infuse her with vitality. Although these methods did not help much with her chronic illness, they made her entire body stronger than ordinary people. As soon as the poison was taken into her mouth, it was neutralized and resolved by other drugs in Feilin's body.
Otherwise, Sibia should have prepared for a state funeral long ago.
When he hugged Feilin, Cohen didn't know this, and he didn't have time to analyze it. He just relied on instinct to feel that the life in Feilin's body was draining rapidly. Except for a few low-level healing magics, he didn't know any other first aid.
Method - When simply pouring water and pressing the stomach to induce vomiting had no effect, Cohen could only take risks.
He first poured himself a lot of medicine, and when the medicine was gone, he used a curse to take away Feline's physical abilities.
Then, he understood how expensive this poison was - it was specially made for a certain group of people with a special status. Only one part of the drug was poison, and the other nine parts were auxiliary ingredients for anesthesia and hallucination.
The purpose is of course to make people unable to notice the pain. But this is a highly effective poison that takes effect very quickly, and the anesthesia and psychedelic ingredients do not take too long to take effect. Therefore, what Felin did not taste,
The pain that was worse than life fell entirely on Cohen.
Moreover, Feilin was not only poisonous, but also had side effects from the last time the ultimate healing magic was used on him. When this side effect appeared on Feilin as a component of magic, it was restricted by magic - withering from the bottom up.
——And Cohen himself is not a user of this magic, so this side effect is strangely shared by his entire body.
The skin all over his body seemed to have been torn apart by hands, then rolled up one by one, and then the flesh underneath was set on fire. Even the marrow of every bone in his body seemed to be filled with bloodthirsty ants... but there was no trace of blood in his body.
Not a single nerve was under his control, let alone screaming, he couldn't even breathe heavily.
During those three hours, Cohen spent most of the time lying on his back, quietly and soberly enjoying the endless pain, and in the end he almost choked to death from the blood congestion between his mouth and nose.
In a short period of time, the pain he experienced was the total pain of his life. When he recovered a little, the first thing he did was to divide the power in his body into two areas and inject the relatively pure vitality back into it.
Into Feline's body.
He has learned this trick a long time ago. In principle, it is swallowing and splitting. But in the past, it used pure energy methods, but now, everyone is made of flesh and blood. Regardless of other things, it is just to extract life energy from the body.
Divorce is not a pain that mortals can endure...
The situation is critical and he can't care about anything else, but Cohen is confident that his body is strong and can withstand the devastation of most poisons. His ability is unique. Since the body of the red dragon elder can withstand it, as long as he controls the amount of input, Fei
Lin can bear it, at least she won't be rejected by her body... As for her own physical pain, it's called self-inflicted pain.
After three hours passed, Feline still had the breath of life, which was why Cohen had not yet collapsed; her signs of life were weak, and her heartbeat and breathing rate were one-thirtieth of normal people, which was why Cohen was about to collapse.
Frankly speaking, when Cohen got off the carriage of the princess, he had become an ordinary person. Physically, seven or eight warriors could knock him down; mentally, he was even more panicked. He didn't even know how to lift Feline onto the horse.
After that, where should I go...
Feilin chose to commit suicide. She left everything behind. In addition to her own reasons, she must also hate many people and many things in this world... So, where is this seemingly magnificent world and vast sea of people?
Is this the safe place for you and Feilin?
Looking at the face in the blanket, Cohen calmed down and thought about it, but he was so upset that he could only put it all aside and focus on saving Feline's life first.
Thinking of this, Cohen's thoughts suddenly became clear. He turned around and locked his sharp eyes on the location of the sleeping place - If you can't cure Feilin, I will tear down your nest!
Once the hooliganism started to set in, Cohen couldn't care so much anymore and just rode away, not caring about the imperial family.
In fact, Cohen didn't mean to take Feilin on the road alone, but under the current situation, he really couldn't let go.
Feilin's breathing and heartbeat are quite weak and may stop at any time. Cohen must always pay attention to her physical condition and dare not slack off at all. Not to mention the disorder of the heartbeat, even if it is happening according to the rules, the middle
The pauses are as long as... if you hold me tightly like this, you will be scared out of your wits. Do you dare to let go?
Another thing, since Cohen was saving Feline's life with his own hands, he had a strong sense of rejection towards other people in this matter. Although that matter will not be mentioned for the time being, it did not happen. Old genius
Knowing how dirty this world is, Cohen will never let anyone get close to Feline except himself - to Feline, they are all potential threats!
So everything, no matter how trivial it is, is done by Cohen himself.
In any case, part of Cohen's consciousness remained in Feilin's body through a hand in direct contact with her, always paying attention to her condition, and only using the other hand to feed Feilin water and wipe away sweat.
Cohen has gone through a lot of hardships, but when has he ever done anything like waiting on others? When has he ever done housework? Let alone doing two things with one hand.
Traveling across the continent, the ability to take life and death is of no use here. He overturned the water bag, tore the sweat towel, and every seemingly simple little thing went wrong. Cohen was angry and anxious, wishing he could have three heads and six arms. But this
That's not the most difficult part - because of this fragile life in his hands, he has to work hard to suppress his violent temper, and he has to endure and endure even big things.
Every time after a moment of trance, Cohen felt that Feline's heartbeat seemed to be getting weaker, and he quickly followed the established procedure to give first aid. On the first day alone, he swallowed and re-entered ten times. It was not that he had already treated the patient.
The pain is numb, but after each first aid, Feilin's heartbeat is relatively stable, and the guilt and fear in Cohen's heart will decrease a little...
Only in the short period of time after each emergency treatment, Cohen could eat a little bit of food. With a big stroke of his hand, whether it was half-cooked or burnt, he stuffed it all into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and then swallowed it!
Feilin was in a coma. Apart from her heartbeat and breathing, which could disappear at any time, the only evidence that she was still alive was that the medicine she was forced to drink would be mixed with blood and vomited out. After a few times, Cohen could only reduce the medicine and rely more on the only one.
method, but this only method caused great damage to Cohen's body.
Physically he was restless, and mentally he did not dare to relax at all. After three days of this, Cohen was already haggard, with stubble all over his face and stains all over his body. Instead of being an emperor, he was clearly a tramp.
On the morning of the fourth day, when the sun rose, Cohen's first aid had just ended. His bloodshot eyes were staring at Feilin, staring at the face that had shown no improvement despite repeated attempts. Bit by bit in the past, nothing had stopped.
It keeps flowing out from the bottom of my heart.
All this time, he didn't understand what kind of feelings he had for Feilin, and now, he still doesn't understand. From the time he met Feilin, there were too few sweet things and too many times of confusion. In other words, he and Feilin had no idea.
Lindu has never been truly honest with each other, and they both keep the biggest secret between them... But why? Why? With this slowly recalling memory, true grief tightly wrapped around her whole body,
No more gaps?
Despair also spreads bit by bit in my heart.
The overly tight string in my heart suddenly showed signs of breaking.
"No! You have to breathe, breathe!" Cohen yelled: "Do you want to use this most cowardly way to achieve any sinister purpose? Tell you, you are dreaming!"
"You won't get what you want! Come to life - come to life!"
Madness finally turned Cohen into an out-and-out tyrant.
"If you die, I will kill all the maids around you! Are you afraid?"
"I'm going to kill Steve Lorenzo's family! Are you afraid?"
"I'm going to burn all the records and belongings of the Xia Mai family! I'm going to dig up your Xia Mai family's ancestral graves! I'm going to drag out your Xia Mai family's ancestors one by one! Are you afraid?"
However, unknowingly, Cohen burst into tears. (To be continued)
