Back when the villain boy [Rebirth]
Chapter 62
It was raining all over the sky, the river was soaring, and electric snakes were winding in the air.
A series of tortures were applied to Jiang Xun's body, blood dripped from his clothes, and traces of red blood rushed into the nearby reeds along the rain.
Shang Yi stood in the stormy sky, her robe fluttering frequently, and the cold rain from ten years ago penetrated her body like nothing.Her eyes were bloodshot, staring at the dark corner where Jiang Wanzhao was hiding, her teeth were about to pierce the back of her hand, and the blood flowed profusely.She stared wide-eyed, watching Jiang Xun being tortured with her own eyes.
The Winged Snake Guards used a variety of methods, such as flogging, sticks, cutting, bins... This guard who only obeyed the emperor's order became famous by torture and interrogation. How many corrupt officials have been killed, and the blood of loyal ministers and good generals has also been soaked.Time was running out, Zheng Jiang lost his patience, and his attacks became more aggressive. In the end, Jiang Xun's body was covered with cuts and bruises, his knee bones were gouged out, and he lay limp on the ground like a puddle of blood, not human, but his chin was still raised, refusing to bow his head.
Jiang Wanzhao opened her eyes wide in horror, and tears fell one drop after another.She didn't dare to leak her voice, so she could only bite her hands tightly, and she didn't notice that the blood stained her sleeves.She had never experienced such despair and torment in her life. She hid in the dark reeds, half-immersed in the icy river water, and watched as her father, who regarded him as a god, was tortured like death.
She couldn't help but wanted to cry out, but she knew that if someone heard her, she would lose her life and her father would be affected, so she bit her hand harder, and the blood dripped more and more, dripping into the river water, and the blood spread all over the place. Muddy mess.
The wind blew up, the river boiled, and the water level kept rising.
Zheng Jiang glanced at the soaked soles, frowned, and was very depressed. It was expected that Jiang Xun would not speak, so in the end he didn't waste any time. .
"Father!" Jiang Wanzhao's eyes widened in despair, no matter how hard she was to restrain herself, she couldn't help running towards the falling figure.But she was hugged tightly, covered her eyes, and pulled back into the darkness, Lou Yiqiao's trembling voice was next to her ear, "Don't look, evening photo, don't look."
With the sound of wind and rain, Lou Yiqiao held onto Jiang Wanzhao to run away in the wind and rain. The river water had reached the girl's waist, and they were in danger of being washed into the river at any time.
Jiang Wanzhao turned her head frequently, and when she couldn't see the swaying fire in the wind and rain, she couldn't help calling out: "Daddy." The voice was so sad that Lou Yiqiao's tears fell instantly, "Wanzhao, don't look back, don't want."
The slight disturbance in the reeds has already attracted Zheng Jiang's attention.He picked up the longbow beside him, and the arrow pierced the sky like a shooting star.Lou Yiqiao heard the sound of breaking through the air, knowing that he couldn't dodge it, hugged the child tightly and jumped into the water, the blood color spread in the dark river.
The river was swift and turbulent, and the two were ups and downs in the water, ready to be swallowed by the dark current at any moment.
Zheng Jiang looked at Changhe quietly and remained silent.
"My lord?" Winged Serpent Guard asked.
Zheng Jiang seemed to come back to his senses, "Don't worry about it, I can't live anymore."
The winged snake guard lowered his head, muttering in his heart that the lord has always been cautious, how could he be so negligent today.This kind of thing is not something that a pawn like him can meddle in, so he kept silent and listened to Zheng Jiang's order to clean up the mess.
The arrow did not show mercy, piercing through the bodies of the two people.
Lou Yiqiao tried her best to swim to the shore, but her eyes were so dark that she could hardly see anything.The wound was already numb and bleeding profusely, and he couldn't even lift his hand up.She touched the girl's cold face, and the voice in her throat was so low that she could hardly hear it, "Sunset, wake up."
But the girl closed her eyes tightly, and even her body was slightly stiff.
Lou Yiqiao reluctantly pulled out the arrow, and had no time to care about his own wounds. He hugged Jiang Wanzhao in his arms and murmured: "Wake up, please, wake up!"
Jiang Wanzhao's face was as white as a sheet of paper, her fan-like eyelashes lay quietly, no matter how much she shouted, she did not respond.
"Late photo..." Lou Yiqiao leaned against her cold face, pouring spiritual energy into her lifeless body.
But the child only closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep, and would never wake up.
Lou Yiqiao put her flat on the ground, put her up to the tip of her nose, and felt that she was not breathing.With a chill in her heart, she leaned over the girl's chest and listened carefully. After waiting for a long time, she finally heard a faint heartbeat.
Not dead yet, still breathing.
But now there are no medical clinics and no medicinal herbs around. She watched Jiang Wanzhao's life die bit by bit with her own eyes, and she gritted her teeth suddenly, and made a decision.
There is another way of life extension in this world, she once performed it on animals - Yanshu.
As long as there is still one breath left, he can always be rescued again. Is it still the original person who is rescued?Lou Yiqiao was also not sure, but she had no choice.
At this moment, she has reached a dead end, and there is no room for change.If Yanshu is used on living things, even if it is successful, the lifespan will be at most a few years, but if you use that spiritual core, everything may be different.
She took out the spirit core with trembling hands, and the slightly damaged spirit stone gave off a faint halo in the darkness.
She sewed flesh and bones, set up organs, her movements were skillful and stiff, and she shed tears again when she picked up the spiritual core, thinking of the time when she learned from the palace that the sea and the moon are shining, and the peaches and plums are spring breeze.Before coming to Kunwu, they were so high-spirited, drinking together in Xianrenmian, and even Tongjiu, who never participated in their small fights, also came.
She drank too much, and jumped onto the flower tree outside the window, the petals flew up one after another, and the spring light melted and fell.
Tong Jiu was a little worried that she would fall drunk, so he stood under the tree and was always ready to catch her.
Lou Yiqiao laughed loudly and shouted: "Don't worry, I won't fall, I will take good care of you and protect your heart."
Everyone was so drunk that they didn't understand this sentence, only Qi Meiyi turned his head to look at them.Tongjiu stood under the flower tree, raised his head, the sky was filled with flowers flying like snow, and the girl's eyes were flowing, shining like stars.She couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, revealing a faint smile.
"Sorry, I broke my promise." Lou Yiqiao whispered.
It was agreed to have a glass of wine with Tao Li Chunfeng, but unfortunately in the future even ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes, it will not be possible.
Shang Yi stood aside, covered her chest, and half-kneeled on the ground.
It turns out that the spiritual core is...
The crueler truth than that of Changhe's bloody war was revealed before her eyes. Her face was as pale as death, and her heart was throbbing.
Why did it happen to be Zhou Zhou? Why did all of this happen to Zhou Zhou.
How did the rebellious Hou take those steps, how did he walk from the flames of war to the temple?
When she was facing the emperor, when she was facing herself, what was in her mind?How many secret pains are hidden in those always dark and gloomy eyes?
Shang Yi didn't know anything, and Ni Minghou was right in questioning that day, she didn't know anything.
Just relying on his own identity, relying on Jiang Zhou's old love, living in the city wall without wind and rain.
What big roc soars up to [-] miles, unless someone is the wind that sends you to Qingyun. Back then, even Shen Fengjie saw the infatuation and forbearance of Ni Minghou, so he said this sentence.But she was at a loss, maybe it wasn't that she didn't understand, but she just understood but couldn't let go.
She lost Zhouzhou, the second time.
Shang Yi's headache was about to split, and all the memories of her childhood were like auspicious feathers, floating in front of her eyes.She seemed to remember the cause of the serious illness when she was a child. At that time, she waited for Jiang Xun and Wan Zhao to come back with joy, but what she waited for was the news of their death.
All said they were dead and would not be coming back.Only Shang Yi refused to believe it, so she sneaked out and stood on Qunyu Mountain to wait.
A moon is cold and white in the sky, thousands of mountains are covered with snow, and the fragrance of plum blossoms floats faintly in the moonlight.
Standing in the snow holding the little wood-carved fox, she couldn't figure it out why Wanzhao said she would come back earlier, why hasn't she come back yet?She didn't return until her birthday, and the little fox she carved couldn't be given away.
Those people said that Wanzhao died, how could it be possible, Wanzhao said she would come back, how could she lie to herself?
Shang Yi sneaked out, wearing only thin clothes, sitting on the cold bluestone, hugging her knees, with an old plum tree behind her.Snowflakes drifted into her neck, she shrank her neck, hugged herself tighter, and waited hopefully for someone who would not come back.
At this time, she would not know that many years later, in this place, she would wait for the same person with the same mood.
Fate made a huge joke for them, going round and round, meeting each other, meeting again and saying goodbye, there seems to be some connection in the dark, making the two of them rush to each other through years and years, thousands of mountains and rivers, and ruthless destiny. And staggered towards parting.
After several nights of snow, she was found lying in the snow, unconscious, and then fell seriously ill, waking up and forgetting many old things.
I still remember Yunmengze, but I forgot the girl named Jiang Wanzhao, and I also forgot the singing of Chudi that year.From now on, there is only Mr. Guanghan in Kunwu, and no Shang Yunshu.
……
The past was crushed vigorously, and every part of Shang Yi's body was aching, as if returning to that snowy night, her whole body was cold, and her heart was numb from the pain.
The phantom in front of her had a new change, she managed to raise her head, at this time Lou Yiqiao had rescued Jiang Wanzhao, let the child rest on her lap, and looked at the river in front of her with a blank expression.
There was a blood hole in Lou Yiqiao's right chest, just now he was in a hurry to save Wan Zhao, and had no time to deal with his own wound.But at the moment, she was just sitting in the rain, staring at the river that caused so many killings, blood, and disputes. After watching it for a while, she suddenly smiled in relief.
Seeing this smile, Shang Yi understood that Lou Yiqiao had no desire to survive.
How honored it is for her to be able to fall into a long sleep on this river.
It's a pity that it deviates from expectations.
When she came to Kunwu, she was so high-spirited, thinking that she could stop the war and save thousands of people by herself. Now that I think about it, she is so naive and ignorant that she can't even understand the worries in Jiang Xun's eyes.
The 20 lives were ultimately her responsibility.If she hadn't insisted on persuading Jiang Xun, maybe the emperor would find an opportunity to deal with this accomplished general in the future, but the ending might not be so tragic.
Who would have thought that the sharpest blades do not come from the enemy, but from the back that they risk their lives to protect.
It's ridiculous.
She sneered a few times, covered her face, and tears flowed from between her fingers.
There is nothing left. This dynasty is already rotten. It would be better if the Beirong cavalry went south and killed all the national thieves in Kunwu.But...she let go of her hand, her eyes fell on the child, and suddenly became soft.
"Wan Zhao, let's live this life normally in the future, don't take revenge, and don't be a big hero like your father. Revenge, too tired, be a hero," she smiled miserably, "It's too bitter. Just be an ordinary person Well, if you don’t stand up, someone else will stand up and defend the frontier for you, and shed blood and sweat for you. At most, everyone will die together, ha, let’s die.”
When Jiang Wanzhao woke up, she had severe pain in her right abdomen and her mind was dizzy.It was already dawn, and the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the rain was pouring.
She was cold and aching, and when she thought about what happened that night, she thought it was just a nightmare, but when she looked up, she saw the bloodless face that went upstairs leaning on the bridge.
"Take a picture," Lou Yiqiao's hatred last night was real, but when facing the girl's innocent and ignorant face, her voice became gentle as usual, "Let's go, don't go back to Kunwu, be an ordinary person, forget Forget what happened last night, don't take revenge."
Jiang Wanzhao was confused, and said, "Sister, where is my father? I had a nightmare, it was so scary."
Lou Yiqiao smiled sadly, patted her on the shoulder, "Be obedient, find a home along the long river."
"What family? Sister, where are you and daddy?"
Lou Yiqiao said weakly: "Us? The general and I can't walk anymore. I can't walk anymore, my sister is so tired, let me sleep. If you are really, really hard in the future, go to the East China Sea, Wu Ya, there is a group of poles Nice guy, but don't talk about me, please. I'll go home shameless."
A series of tortures were applied to Jiang Xun's body, blood dripped from his clothes, and traces of red blood rushed into the nearby reeds along the rain.
Shang Yi stood in the stormy sky, her robe fluttering frequently, and the cold rain from ten years ago penetrated her body like nothing.Her eyes were bloodshot, staring at the dark corner where Jiang Wanzhao was hiding, her teeth were about to pierce the back of her hand, and the blood flowed profusely.She stared wide-eyed, watching Jiang Xun being tortured with her own eyes.
