Journey to the Rose

For a moment, Lu Zhenghe's eyes were still the same as before.

But this illusion lasted only a few seconds, just a trance, and his eyes made Ruan Xi feel strange again.

Before Ruan Xi could speak, Lu Zhenghe spoke first, "I thought you would kill me."

After listening, Ruan Xi immediately drew his sword, "I will fulfill you now."

But Lu Zhenghe was unmoved.

Ruan Xi was angered by the prospect of his victory.

Ruan Xi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, "You want to die by my hands so much?"

"You want to run away? Don't you want to get married?" Lu Zhenghe asked.

get married, get married—

Marriage again!

And this word that was supposed to represent happiness came out of the ex-boyfriend's mouth.

Hearing the two most annoying words, Ruan Xi's brows frowned slightly, and she didn't give her a good face. "It has something to do with you? You..."

You didn't come to pick me up and fly away!

Forget it, what's the use of talking.It's better not to say it!

Now that Lu Zhenghe's hands and feet are bound, there is no possibility of escape.After thinking for a while, Ruan Xisi turned the car key, stepped on the accelerator, and started the car engine.

"Ok?"

The first ignition was unsuccessful.

Looking into Lu Zhenghe's eyes, Ruan Xi couldn't help asking, "Is there any problem with your car?"

Lu Zhenghe just said, "Sure enough, the people who are written on the first page of the tragedy will never believe that the disaster is coming."

"What do you mean?" Ruan Xi frowned.

"I reminded you that the prophecy has come. The prophecy says that starting from this year, the land will sink from the southern tip, and the first city-state to sink will be the city of Abze." Lu Zhenghe said.

"..." Ruan Xi looked at him like a fool.

I haven't seen him for so many years, why is Lu Zhenghe still superstitious?

"I have indeed heard it," Ruan Xi nodded, without thinking about the matter at all, "So the reason why I can't turn on the fire is because the air is too humid?"

"When you get married, the whole city celebrates for seven days. Most people have forgotten such a prophecy." Lu Zhenghe stated, "And the day in the prophecy is today."

Hearing this, Ruan Xi was shocked.

"Prophecy" is something that will be mentioned between the various city-states on the land, but most of the time the chances of these prophecies being realized are not high, so most of them are sealed in the wine cellar of history as an eternal treasure. fuse.

There have indeed been such prophecies popping up again recently, but no one has taken them seriously.

Ruan Xi remembered that before the day Song Shumian jumped off the building, it had been raining for a long time in Abze City, the coastline had risen a lot, and there was more water flowing in the drainage channel of Ruan's house than in previous years.

In recent days, the drummer who participated in his pre-marriage band also complained about the rainy weather, including the usual unremarkable back garden, which had the same strange shape. The grass in the past was just grass, not formed when groundwater surged up. Pieces of muddy land...

"That's just a prophecy." Ruan Xi didn't believe in evil, and stepped on the gas pedal again.

With the movement of the hand, the off-road vehicle roared, and the huge headlights illuminated the wide and deserted road ahead.

Let's go.

Regardless of whether the person around you still loves you or not, you can't be reduced to a situation where your family arranges a marriage.

Ruan Xi couldn't imagine that she could love others in the rest of her life, but she really didn't want to marry a stranger she didn't know.That's no different from being chained all your life.

And he was the target of the 26 city-states, because the damn prophets and prophecies had spread rumors among the city-states, saying that the only son of the Ruan family would be the most precious gift in the entire land.

A thousand people have a thousand mouths, and the rumors spread more and more outrageous.

After Ruan Xi became an adult, his existence was like some underwater treasure waiting to be mined, and the Ruan family also began to restrict Ruan Xi's going out.

Over the years, he has never had the opportunity to go out alone to find his missing lover.Ruan Xi thought that she could wait for that person to come back, but unexpectedly, she only waited for a marriage contract.

Everyone expects him to be an alha who can stay in the altar all the time, but no one knows that he has already chosen to be an oga in the year of adult differentiation.

Because before Lu Zhenghe left without saying goodbye, he had already become alha.

Ruan Xi is willing to be the person who is absolutely compatible with his true love, but when he looks back, there is no one waiting for him behind him.

"Boom—"

There was a sudden burst of buildings collapsing in the distance, as if some giant beast was roaring and rushing towards the vicinity.

"Look at the rearview mirror," Lu Zhenghe interrupted his wandering thoughts, "and then look under the car tires."

After hearing his words, Ruan Xi turned her head instantly.

In the rearview mirror, the open space not far outside the Ruan's Manor was covered by ankle-high water, and the sound of the ground collapsing could be heard faintly from a distance, and it was completely unclear what was going on.

In a blink of an eye, Ruan Xi was surprised to find that the rope that originally bound Lu Zhenghe's hands and feet had been untied.

Ruan Xi was wearing a seat belt in front of him, so he couldn't get over the gear lever of the center console to stop him, so he had to pull out the Xiaoyan Lingdao again.

"Don't be too aggressive. Losing your temper is not good for your health."

Lu Zhenghe reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, and pinched Ruan Xi's wrist to prevent him from moving.

"you……"

Ruan Xi was speechless for a while, and found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't compare to Alha's naturally strong wrist strength, and the flexibility she trained since childhood was nothing compared to Alha's absolute strength.

Obviously, Ruan Xi's too fierce resistance angered Lu Zhenghe.

"This knife is not bad," Lu Zhenghe questioned his Little Yanling knife, "Why not use ostrich skin?"

"I have trypophobia." Ruan Xi didn't want to answer this question.

"I warned you, don't move again. You play with a knife and I play with a gun. You should know which one is faster to kill." Lu Zhenghe pursed his lips flatly, and his tone was emotionless, "This is Carbein 4, there is The holographic inner red dot sight, the clip is full, can hang a grenade launcher, has a kac muffler, and also has night vision goggles."

"so what?"

Ruan Xi only felt that his side waist held up by the seat belt was pressed against a hard tube, the caliber was not small, and it was not cold, on the contrary, it seemed that he had been shot not long ago.

"Can you feel it?"

Passing the center shift lever, Lu Zhenghe knelt on the leather seat on one knee, leaned forward, and whispered questions behind Ruan Xi's ear.

The sound of water outside became louder and louder.

The surface of the water quietly rises and flows visible to the naked eye, and it doesn't know how long it will take to submerge the body and even the roof of the car.

Ruan Xi was held up by Lu Zhenghe and pressed his face against the open car window, and was once again so shocked by the scene outside the window that he couldn't move his eyes.

The terrain of the city is low, and most of it is below sea level. After the sea water has risen in recent years, low mountains and hills have become rare places to stand.

Now, the hillsides where shadows could be seen near Ruan's Manor are all gone, and the night wind on the other side of the mountain has turned into huge waves, flying straight down from the only remaining high place.

Between heaven and earth, crumbling.

The sleeping city of Abze didn't notice any danger coming, it was still lying in the silent night, not aware of the movement before the disaster.

The sea is a landscape of Abze City, and it has been relatively stable for many years. There has been no tsunami since Ruan Xi was born.

In the ocean, waves are less than a meter high, but can rapidly increase to unforeseen heights as they approach the shore.

According to the prophecy, the land surface will collapse, indicating that the sea water will stagger and sink, and then turn back into the boundless blue waves.

The already sharply rising sea level and falling land surface will cause the sea to form long waves and huge waves, thus turning the land into a vast ocean.

"Is the prophecy true?" Ruan Xi was so shocked that he forgot to resist, and let Lu Zhenghe tie his hands and feet with hemp rope.

After the silence, Lu Zhenghe only gave an ambiguous answer, "Probably."

"Let me get out of the car, I can't leave my city in this situation," Ruan Xi cut her hands behind her back, her wrists were so painful, "You don't have to go with me."

Lu Zhenghe rejected him, "I have to take you back."

Why?Who are you?

Ruan Xi said, "You let me go back, my family needs me."

Lu Zhenghe responded calmly, "It won't do anything if you go back, and it's too late to do anything now."

"Lu Zhenghe, one day I will blow your head off with your cock." Ruan Xi really didn't want to understand where this man who can push himself out three or four times an hour came from.

"Aren't you going to escape marriage?" Lu Zhenghe ignored his threat again, "You have to leave here first."

If he can predict what will happen four years later, and give Ruan Xi another chance, he believes that he will never choose to be an oga again. What's the use of what bullshit fits? You have to ask the opponent for a three-pointer.

Ruan Xi gave him a cold look, "I can do it myself, I don't need others to help me."

Lu Zhenghe said, "Do you know that apart from the Wei family, people from the other 24 city-states are trying to kill you?"

"My life?" Ruan Xi estimated that the gun on his side would go off at any moment.

"If you can't get it, destroy it," Lu Zhenghe laughed, his maturity gave Ruan Xi a feeling of unreality, "I am also like this."

Knowing that she couldn't fight, Ruan Xi stopped fighting with him.

What does it mean to lure a wolf into a house?

This is called.

He had to think of any other way to escape.This matter is of great importance, and he cannot leave Abze City behind at this time.

After binding Ruan Xi firmly, Lu Zhenghe got out of the car from the co-pilot with peace of mind.

The soles of the military boots on his feet were not thick, but the straps were tied to the calf. Now that he stepped on the ground, there was a clear feeling of sinking, and the ground underneath seemed to be empty in the next second.

This was also the case when he was training for the Northern Alliance in the swamp. The climate there was extremely humid, and there was a possibility that vines could control his hands and feet at any time.

It seems that Abze City can't stay any longer.

Supporting the hood of the car with both arms, Lu Zhenghe raised his legs and stepped on it, rolled over from the driver's side and got out of the car, then opened the car door, and hugged the immobile Ruan Xi in his arms.

Taking the opportunity to get closer and smell it, Ruan Xi really smelled the smell of roses again, and couldn't help breathing quickly.

As if he didn't notice him, Lu Zhenghe opened the back seat door with one hand, smiled at him and said, "Because you are disobedient, I can only wrong you to stay in the back seat."

Ruan Xi looked at the back seat, which was already packed to the brim, and unexpectedly saw the luggage that she had no chance to pick up before leaving.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Zhenghe replied calmly, "It's none of my business, it's your burden."

"You are shameless!" How could this person lie without blushing?

Forcibly suppressing the swear words that jumped into her throat, Ruan Xi was thrown sideways on the back seat of the off-road vehicle by Lu Zhenghe before she had time to think of something more lethal to say back.

After the car door was closed, Ruan Xicai struggled to get up from the back seat out of breath.

He had never been bullied like this before, but he could only blame himself for tying someone up first, so he was completely speechless.

At this moment, he kind of missed those subordinates who would follow behind him, at least someone could help him untie the hemp rope if something happened.

As soon as the car started, Lu Zhenghe slammed on the brakes and slammed the steering wheel, making Ruan Xi dizzy in the back seat.

After 1 minute, the off-road vehicle rushed into a flat road.

The headlights of the car were turned on brightly, and I could see no oncoming cars hundreds of meters away.

Tied up like this bird, with no tools at the moment, Ruan Xi temporarily died and wanted to jump off the car.

He was silent for a while, then asked, "Where are we going?"

"Elope." Lu Zhenghe replied without blushing.

Oh.

Please don't tease me with words.

Don't you know whether alha and oga are relatives or not?

Looking up at the rearview mirror above the center console, Ruan Xi found that Lu Zhenghe was looking at him from the corner of his eyes from time to time, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, like a deep pool with no bottom.

"What do you think I am doing?" Ruan Xi was tired of tossing.

Lu Zhenghe replied, "It looks good."

Ruan Xi "..."

close your eyes!

Ablaze·6 starts a new journey.
