After being reborn, being alone as a queen

"You must remember the benevolence of the doctor. No matter what you have experienced, when and where you meet, you must reach out to help someone who can help."

"Your teacher's mother is the former princess of Beiyan. If you are in danger, you can go back to Beiyan for help, but you must never expose the existence of the longevity medicine, even if you die—"

The words of the patriarch and his wife rang in Rong Yunhe's mind all night, echoing back and forth, causing his eye sockets to turn blue.

Early in the morning, he secretly carried Rong Qi who was still asleep on his back to the stone gate, and Rong Yunhe stopped

The patriarch's wife has long been crying in her husband's arms

Rong Yunhe's eyes swept across the smiling faces of the villagers one by one, and then carefully looked at Mr. Rong's face.

Finally, he turned his head to the humanity on his back and said, "Look at your parents again, from now on... you won't be able to see them again."

The patriarch urged softly: "Go in quickly, you can't come out no matter what."

Rong Yunhe's heart thumped, and he turned and entered the grotto.

The heavy stone gate slid down in front of his eyes, gradually extinguishing the last ray of light.

Rong Yunhe put down Rong Qi, and sat in the grotto blankly, holding the bottle of elixir in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot.

Not long after, it was still the same man as three days ago, but this time there was one more person accompanying him.

The man was dressed in a black brocade robe, embroidered with inconspicuous dragon patterns, his appearance was sharp and handsome, he was wearing a black crown, and the beads collided with each other and crackled.

People around him didn't even dare to look at him, and they didn't even dare to straighten their backs, full of fear.

Except for the emperor, don't think about two people.

Everyone no longer had to worry about the future, and behaved much calmer than three days ago, with clear determination in their eyes.

Emperor Cheng An frowned, he didn't like the eyes of everyone here, these people didn't have the slightest fear of him, they were all desperate and determined.

Any king who is independent, decisive, authoritarian, and acting will not like this look.

Like a big mountain, he said with deterrence: "Have you thought about everything?"

The patriarch said neither humble nor overbearing: "The grass people burned incense and prayed and asked the ancestors that the elixir of life cannot be sold. Please forgive me."

With his words, the people under Emperor Cheng'an suddenly fell into dead silence.

No one expected that this group of villagers living in the mountains would be so desperate to refuse the request of the king of a country.

Emperor Cheng'an's brows were full of hostility: "Are you really looking for death?"

The leader of the black-armored guards also scolded angrily: "You mountain peasants, as the people of Southern Chu and blessed by His Majesty, are so ignorant of good and evil!"

The patriarch led the crowd to kneel on the ground, and still said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Cheng'an laughed back angrily: "Okay, if that's the case, then let me level this place, and dig three feet into the ground to find the elixir of life."

Rong Yan, who was imprisoned in the crowd, became anxious: "Your Majesty! The villain has something to say!"

Emperor Cheng'an didn't look back: "I don't want to hear it."

Before the soldier covered his mouth, Rong Yan said loudly: "It's about the whereabouts of the elixir of life!"

Emperor Cheng'an raised his hand, and the soldier let go.

Aunt Shiba was so angry that she had a cerebral hemorrhage, and roared, "Rong Yan, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Emperor Cheng'an ignored her, turned around, looked at Rong Yan with dark eyes and said: "If you can't say anything useful, I will take you first."

Rong Yan's face turned pale with fright, but he still insisted: "Yes, yes, but... But the villain wants to ask His Majesty for a favor."

Emperor Cheng'an raised his hand: "Say."

Rong Yan said: "I told the whereabouts of the elixir, please let my mother and sister go!"

Emperor Cheng'an raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled into a sarcasm: "I agree, who is your sister or mother?"

Rong Yan pointed to Aunt Shiba and Rong Zhi.

Emperor Cheng'an gave him a wink, and two black-armored soldiers stepped forward and dragged them out.

The patriarch's eyebrows gradually darkened, and a not-so-good idea came to his mind, he said slowly: "Rong Yan, the news about the elixir...did you spread it out?"

Aunt Shiba and Rong Zhi's expressions changed instantly.

Rong Zhi asked incredulously, "Brother?"

Rong Yan's expression froze, his eyes wandered: "I..."

The patriarch's expression became more and more certain, his eyes were filled with disappointment, and he persisted, "Is it you?"

Rong Yan was also aroused by his eyes the resentment accumulated in his heart for many years, and said angrily: "It's me! It's me! Who made all of you only see Rong Yunhe and Rong Qi, two idiots? I Mother likes them, and my younger sister likes Rong Yunhe too, okay! The whole clan likes them both! I am useless in the whole world! Rong Qi practiced the elixir of life! Patriarch, you personally accepted Rong Yunhe As an apprentice! Oh, you are obviously unkind, but now you come to blame me for being unrighteous?"

Everyone was stunned, speechless

Almost everyone's voice was, why would this child's heart be so dark when he grew up in the same environment.

Rong Yan's face was distorted with hatred, and he said: "You have nothing to say? Then quickly offer the elixir of life. If you are going to die, don't drag my mother and sister to be buried with you!"

Emperor Cheng'an stroked his palm lightly, and said with a sneer, "You're right."

He turned his head and said to everyone: "A young man understands the truth, don't you understand? As long as someone tells me where the elixir of life is, he will not have to die."

Everyone is silent, no one wavers

A cold light flashed in Emperor Cheng'an's eyes, and he looked at Rong Yan suddenly: "My patience has reached its limit."

Rong Yan only felt that his calves were shaking, and hurriedly said: "There are two people missing here! Rong Yunhe and Rong Qi are not here! Rong Qi is the son of the patriarch, he also practiced the elixir of life, the medicine must be on him Your Majesty can get the medicine as long as you find Rong Qi!"

He pointed to the old Rong who was too old and said: "Rong Yunhe has always had the best relationship with Rong Qi, this old man is Rong Yunhe's grandfather! If you kill him, Rong Yunhe will definitely come out!"

Emperor Cheng'an waved his hand full of hostility, and two soldiers stepped forward and held Rong Lao

"Old Rong!"

The patriarch's face changed, and he was about to get up

Elder Rong said: "Master Patriarch, please be safe... I am old and my life is worthless. I don't deserve it."

A soldier kicked Lao Rong's leg and cursed: "Your Majesty dares to speak nonsense in front of you! Old man!"

People who are close seem to hear the sound of bone cracking

Rong Lao fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, his hands without crutches stretched tremblingly in the air, his voice was like an old bellows that had been used for many years

"With a king like this, Southern Chu will perish—"

"presumptuous."

Emperor Cheng'an was so angry that the soldiers were afraid of the king's anger, so they stabbed Rong Lao's heart with his backhand, the sword pierced into the flesh, and blood spattered everywhere.

At this time, Rong Yunhe who closed his eyes and rested in the grotto suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the stone wall and put his ears close.

Tried to hear something, but couldn't hear anything.

Emperor Cheng'an's eyes as deep as a black pool did not startle a single wave, he was as indifferent as a statue made of ice, looking down on this group of humble ants.

The patriarch lost his voice: "Old Rong—"

The patriarch's wife stood up suddenly: "You are so unkind, don't your majesty feel ashamed of the world?"

The patriarch grabbed her hand: "Ma'am."

Emperor Cheng'an took two steps forward, and the patriarch wanted to stand in front of his wife, but unexpectedly, his wife held him firmly behind him.

Emperor Cheng'an looked at the man protected by the woman behind him, and asked with an unpredictable expression: "What's your name?"

"It's a mere name, I'm afraid it will stain His Majesty's ears." She said neither humble nor overbearing.

Emperor Cheng'an pinched the woman's chin, his eyes flashed with amazement, and he said: "You are very courageous, I will leave you as a dead body."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly withdrew his hand and announced like dominating the world:

"Kill and leave none."

Time passed by every minute and every second, and I don't know how much time has passed in the cave

"Uh--"

Rong Qi woke up leisurely, sat up with his head in severe pain, and subconsciously cursed: "Daddy, give me the poison again!"

But when he realized the environment he was in, his heart sank suddenly, and there was only one candle burning quietly in the dim grotto.

He stared at the elixir on the stone table: "Where is this?"

Rong Yunhe was physically and mentally exhausted, he didn't want to say a word, and sat cross-legged on the stone.

Rong Qi rushed over and grabbed his hand: "Yunhe! Where is this? Where are my parents?"

Rong Yunhe looked at him with lifeless eyes, and said word by word: "It's gone, it's gone."

Rong Qi lost his strength, sat down on the ground, and said: "What did you say..."

After a while, Rong Qi rushed over again, begging in his eyes: "My father must have told you how to get out! Right? Tell me! I can't live without my parents!"

Rong Yunhe's eyes moved slightly, he held his hand and said, "I promised Master and Master, so I won't tell you."

Rong Qi shook his head: "You..."

Rong Yunhe stood up, grabbed the elixir and stuffed him into Rong Qi's hands: "But you are right, Master told me how to get out, as long as you are alive, my mission will be completed."

Rong Qi didn't understand what he meant

Rong Yunhe smiled suddenly: "Ah Qi, you must live well with my share and the expectations of all of us for you. You must remember that you must not die. Your life is ours. It cost hundreds of lives."

"If you don't listen to me, don't be my brother forever, and don't come looking for me in hell, I don't know you."

After finishing speaking, he got up and stumbled towards Shimen

Rong Qi froze in place

In a blink of an eye, the stone gate opened and closed again.

Rong Qi hurriedly got up and followed, but before he had time, he saw the man's back disappearing into the backlight.

Rong Yunhe left the cave, but it was too late

Everywhere he looked, there was blood.

The medicine field was trampled to the ground, and the corpses of former relatives and grandpa were lying all around.

A sword pierced his heart, his white hair was disheveled like withered grass, stained with mud.

Rong Yunhe's pupils shrunk again and again, and finally shrunk to the size of a pinhead. He stumbled towards Rong Lao's body, his lips moved: "Grandpa..."

There were scars all over the patriarch's body. Obviously, he had a fierce battle with the guards. He interlocked his fingers with the body of the patriarch's wife. Blood poured out from the wound on his waist and abdomen, staining the ground red.

Rong Yunhe knelt on the ground, covered his head, and roared like a wounded beast: "Ah——"

After shouting, he drooped his head, as if all thoughts were lost.

The memory played back in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern, and his heart ached like being dug out alive and stabbed, as if he was enduring the torture of being late.

There seems to be a faint human voice not far away

Rong Yunhe raised her head suddenly, got up and rushed over, Rong Zhi was lying in a pool of blood, her face was pale due to excessive blood loss, she uttered the words with great difficulty: "Brother Yunhe...brother, let me say for...uh brother— — Say yes, yes, yes"

After speaking, I tilted my head and lost my breath.

Rong Yunhe's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched so loudly that there was still something he didn't understand.

Master, my disciple listens to you, but if you can't take revenge, what's the use of living in this world?

He gritted his teeth, searched around, and finally stopped on a kind of grass

He staggered and crawled over, squeezed the soil and stuffed it directly into his mouth. This kind of grass is rarely used as medicine, but more used as poison.

Rong Yunhe took one last look at the grotto where Rong Qi was hiding, and fell to the ground in relief, with the corners of his lips curled up softly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Senior brother..."

He never thought that he did not die, and when he opened his eyes again, everything was different.

The sky above was already dark, and there was not a single star in the pitch-black sky, it was so dull that it seemed to be suppressed, and Rong Yunhe, who was sleeping in the distance, seemed to feel the scorching heat wave.

Rong Yunhe sat up slowly, looked around in confusion

Why is he still alive?

The sound of crackling and burning wood resounded in this quiet world, Rong Yunhe suddenly turned his head, and the firelight lit up his eyes full of terror

The house is burning, the fire is huge

And the corpses that had been lying beside him were gone, lying in disorder at the door of each house.

A thin figure stood quietly in front of the fire, his white clothes were stained with mottled blood, and the wind blowing from nowhere blew his white hair loose behind him.

The scorching air waves hit his cheeks, and the faces of his parents were vaguely in front of his eyes. A drop of crystal liquid seemed to glow in the firelight, and finally dripped silently to the soil under his feet.

That back figure is too familiar to Rong Yunhe

He opened his mouth and shouted: "Ah Qi..."

Only then did he realize that his voice was like that of a 70-year-old man, old and hoarse.

Rong Qi turned around and said, "You took the poisonous weed, I was a bit late in rescuing it, although the poison was removed, the vocal cords were damaged, and it will take time to recover."

Rong Yunhe opened his mouth but did not speak, because Rong Qi's face was still stained with wet tears.

Rong Yunhe silently walked forward and knelt down beside him, kowtowed three times towards the sea of ​​fire, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, master, master... I am incompetent."

Rong Qi suddenly said: "Rong Yunhe, I regret it."

As the house was burned and the traces of childhood were erased bit by bit by the fire, Rong Yunhe stood up and said with a heavy heart: "What do you regret?"

The corners of Rong Qi's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes anymore.

He said: "I gave you the elixir of life."

Rong Yunhe's eyes were about to burst: "What did you say? Are you crazy?"

Rong Qi said: "You said that my life was bought by hundreds of lives, and your life is the same now. If you die, I will let the whole world be buried with you, how about it?"

He looked at the indifferent young man in front of him, his eyes were crazy and bloody, and the corners of his eyes and brows seemed to be covered with frost and snow that could not be melted.

His senior brother has changed.

Rong Qi took a last look at the parents snuggling together in the sea of ​​flames, Rong Yin and Zhai Yuwan's corpses, and their interlocking hands never let go until the last moment.

he turned away

Rong Yunhe panicked: "Where are you going?"

Rong Qi didn't look back, just said: "Revenge."

Rong Yunhe's throat hurt like tearing, and he roared: "Rong Qi! Master won't agree!"

Rong Qi paused, and sneered: "You are your good apprentice, but I, apart from being an apprentice, I am still his son."

"..."

Rong Yunhe was speechless.

Rong Qi went on to say: "Since we are not all the way, you and I will part ways in the future. In this life... I don't want to see you again."

Here, born, not, think, see again, come, you...

Rong Yunhe froze in place, unable to tell what it was like in his heart

I just feel that the pain of thousands of arrows piercing the heart is nothing more than that.

After finishing speaking, Rong Qi's footsteps didn't stop any longer, and he seemed to be walking at a constant speed, but in fact he was extremely fast.

In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the corridor that was so dark that no one could be seen.
