ghost city

Zi quietly sat on the side of the couch, her eyes were lowered, and her black pupils were dim. She took a piece of soaked silk cloth and gently wiped it on the man's chapped lips. The water on the silk cloth was squeezed. It came out and flowed into the man's mouth along the gap.

Wei Ling closed his eyes tightly, lying on the couch, his ice-jade face was a little flushed, as if two balls of dancing flames were about to burn his face open.

Since that day when he passed out in Youwang City, his body has been deteriorating, sometimes comatose, sometimes sober, it has been a whole month.

Youwang City has almost become an empty city. Since the foundation of the Palace of Winged Souls—the Jade of Kunshan was destroyed by Wei Ling, all the ghost soldiers and ghost attendants in the city were completely released from their shackles and re-entered the cycle of reincarnation.Eight hundred boys and girls were also rescued.Now only Sima Shang, Meng Yao, Wang Liao and others were left by Wei Ling's side, refusing to leave.

In just one month, earth-shaking changes took place in the empire: Yingzheng died, the prince Huhai inherited the rule, and the eldest son Fusu committed suicide.At the same time, Zhao Gao was promoted to the rank of doctor because of his meritorious service in assisting the second generation; the national teacher Xinghun was awarded the title of emperor's teacher because of his breakthrough in Youwang City.

At this point, everyone knows that Xinghun has always been Hu Hai's inner teacher, and the two have a deep relationship.

But no one knows that Youwang City was destroyed by civil strife, and Xinghun didn't mobilize a single soldier, but just used a young girl to disrupt the situation, and reaped the benefits.

However, Donghuang Taiyi and Moon God of the Yinyang family resigned from office before the second Hu Hai returned to the imperial capital, faded out of the government and the public, and disappeared.For what reason, no one knows.

The Haunting Soul Palace has been destroyed, and the Youwang City has been destroyed. Those soul-stirring secrets will be buried under the ruins forever, and will never be known to the world.

During this period, Sima Shang and others took Wei Ling to Daliang City, and at the same time secretly searched for Taoist disciples who were proficient in secret arts. But after seeing Wei Ling's injuries, they just shook their heads helplessly. The technique—Fire Seal, they couldn't break it either.

************************

The red mark on the chest was slowly spreading to other parts, and Kunshan Zhiyu could barely suppress the mark of knotting fire, and Wei Ling's body was still deteriorating day by day.He has been unconscious more and more recently.

Sitting on the edge of the couch, Ziyou wiped Wei Ling's dry lips and hot chest over and over again.The scorching brilliance of galloping across the six kingdoms in the past is gone forever, and now the young master Ling Ling is sick and dying.

At this moment, the cold face seemed to be able to emit a trace of heat, and the dry skin was almost cracked like the long-drought earth.His eyelids drooped heavily, covering his eyes feebly, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

No one can untangle the fire seal except the Yin Yang family.But who could she turn to?Should we just let Wei Ling wait to die?

The empty heart was occupied by sudden grief, the girl couldn't help covering her chest, her lips tightly pressed together.She was unwilling to accept such a result.Who is Wei Ling - he is a well-known foreign general in Youwang City!How could he die like this?Even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield, under the blade!

Although Yingzheng is dead, Qin State is still here, his great cause has not been completed, and the restoration of the country has not been accomplished, how can he die like this?

No, you can't!At least she doesn't allow it!Wei Ling once killed her with his own hands, so he owes her life. Only she can take Wei Ling's life.No one else can!

The man in a coma kept his eyes tightly closed, wiped his face with a silk cloth, and wiped his lips, but he didn't respond at all.The girl stared at his face, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes again, drop by drop, dripping onto his chest.

Don't you want to kill him for revenge?Now that he is in such a situation, why is he so desperate and sad?Did she forgive him long ago?Or did she never really hate?

Why?She had refused blindly before, but when she planned to regain this relationship, there was no return.

She had no way of knowing when her mind began to change, she no longer cared, and now she just wanted him to live.

She would never let Wei Ling die like this.She doesn't allow it.

At some point, the silk cloth in her hand had dried out, Zi You withdrew her thoughts this time, got up hurriedly, picked up the water bottle to soak the silk cloth.

Her mind was in a trance, her hands and feet were not agile, her hands trembled, and the water accidentally spilled on the ground.

She hurriedly went to clean up the mess, but there was a rustle behind her. She was startled, and the kettle in her hand fell to the ground, and it was broken into pieces.

Trembling, she went to clean up the debris on the ground, and when the icy water flowing on the ground flowed through her fingers, she suddenly couldn't hold back her tears.

The original Wei Ling was so proud and stern, with a sharp edge that made people dare not look directly at it, like a sharp blade, although it was sharp and hurt people, but the peerless elegance made people feel heartbroken.Today, his glory is gone, like a pile of dry wood that is about to burn out, his life may end at any time.

She slowly covered her face with her hands, and tears flowed down her cheeks and between her fingers. Although she tried her best to suppress it, there were still small sobbing sounds, like a wounded little animal.

Wei Ling woke up at some point, struggling to stand up and leaning on the couch wearily.He silently looked at the girl who was crying softly, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

She actually cried?Is she crying for herself?

There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head: It should be like this, even if it's deceiving himself or others.If Zi You cared a little bit about him, he would be content.

But, did she really let go of her hatred?

Zi Yousheng held back her tears and began to clean up the debris on the ground.

For some reason, since I met Wei Ling again two years ago, my temperament has become more and more unstable, my thoughts have also fluctuated from time to time, and my emotions are almost uncontrollable.

The silk cloth was soaked again, she had just turned around, but she froze in place: Wei Ling was leaning on the couch, looking at her quietly.

Wei Ling beckoned, motioning for her to come over.Ziyou hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat by the couch.

She avoided the scorching eyes, just lowered her eyes, picked up a silk cloth and slowly wiped his face.

Wei Ling looked down at her, and suddenly spread his arms, hugged the girl into his arms, put his chin on the girl's black hair, and stroked it gently.

That embrace was no longer cold, there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, and Zi You's face was pressed against his chest, almost being scalded by the scorching heat.

"Don't hate me anymore?" A deep and hoarse voice sounded from the top of his head, not as cold as before, only revealing endless fatigue and powerlessness.

He didn't hear a response, but felt the girl in his arms tremble.

He sighed, stopped talking, but hugged her even tighter: unexpectedly, the girl who had always been surly and withdrawn was lying in his arms very quietly at this moment.He couldn't help but wonder if this was a hallucination.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.He knew that his fate was not long, but he was content to enjoy this quietness and tranquility.

Ziyou was lying quietly in his arms, the person she once hated deeply was hugging her.She was so repulsive and loathing once, but now she is only attached to his warmth.

The two of them remained silent for a long time.

Wei Ling's arms gradually drooped, and his chest began to rise and fall sharply. He tried his best to suppress it, but there seemed to be a fireball running wildly in his body, and almost everything he passed was burned to ashes.

He bit his lower lip tightly and didn't groan in pain, but his body still trembled uncontrollably.

"Wei Ling!" The girl sensed his abnormality, couldn't help losing her voice, and broke free from his embrace.

Wei Ling's breathing was a little disordered, his face was tense, he panted rapidly, and the hot breath sprayed on the girl's face.

Zi You knew in his heart that Jiehuoyin had occurred again, so he hurriedly used silk cloth to moisten his lips, but it didn't work at all.

Wei Ling firmly pressed against the wall, his body trembling more and more, he gasped violently, his eyes stared blankly ahead, his green eyes were like the cold sky, hollow and scary.

Zi You hurriedly took a pot of cold water, poured it in her hands, and patted his face, chest, and back over and over again.But Wei Ling's body was still burning hot.

Her heart was in turmoil, but she didn't know what to do, so she sat down on the side of the couch.

Wei Ling held her hand with great difficulty.With her palms burning, she turned her head suddenly, only to see that Wei Ling's body was leaning against the wall, his face was twisted by the pain, but his eyes were fixed on her, with a faint smile on his mouth.

He was laughing!He can still laugh at this time.He usually never smiles.

Ziyou looked at him, and was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously clenched his hand tightly.

After a long time, she felt that the hand holding her was gradually relaxing. She raised her eyes and saw that Wei Ling had calmed down a lot. He was still leaning against the wall, and his complexion had returned to normal.It's just that the eyes are a little empty.

"Wei Ling." She called out choked up, tears streaming down her face.

Looking at her face, Wei Ling couldn't help trembling in his heart. He pushed his hands against the wall and sat up straight again.

"Xiaoyou." He murmured, his eyes filled with peace.

The girl raised her head upon hearing the sound, but she met those green eyes.His eyes no longer had the sharp and compelling light of the past, they were as quiet as a lake of clear water, with a gentle expression in them.This kind of him is strange.

Seeing his expression, Zi You couldn't help being stunned, but she didn't know that at this moment her face was covered with tears.

Wei Ling held her face in his hands, slowly pulled her closer, then lowered his head, and gently kissed away the tears on her face, Zi You only felt her face was burning all the way, and her body trembled slightly.

Seeing the blush creeping up on her face, Wei Ling smiled lightly, placed a light kiss on her lips, and left.

The girl was shocked all over, and suddenly hugged him fiercely.

Wei Ling could feel the despair in her body, so he just patted her on the back lightly and said in a low voice, "I'm fine."

He patted her on the back and murmured repeatedly: "I'm fine." He didn't know whether he was comforting the girl or lying to himself.

After a while, Ziyou let go of him, helped him to lie down, and covered his forehead with the soaked silk cloth.

"Call General Sima for me." Wei Ling said in a low voice.

************************

Wei Ling lay down with eyes closed, but did not fall asleep.The scorching feeling in the body has not disappeared for a moment, but the mind is very clear.

Ying Zheng died, but he couldn't feel the slightest joy.Ying Zheng didn't die by his hands, he just became a complete bystander.

Why is there no relief in my heart?Isn't this the result he had been expecting?He fled to Youwang City by himself, lived willingly under others, fought bloody battles with Guo Kai, Han Cang, etc. for more than ten years, and tried his best to trick him, wasn't it for this moment?Why didn't he feel a little joy, but fell into deeper confusion.

Looking back on his experience over the past ten years, he only felt that fate had played a huge joke on him.More than ten years ago, he led [-] elite soldiers from the Wei Dynasty to Youwang City. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the city lord, and later he was promoted to foreign general, holding the highest military power.But the city lord didn't trust him, and kept quietly weakening his military power.The soldiers under him had just grown up, but they were incorporated into the City Guard Army, and the [-] infantry who followed him were still the same.

Soon, he accepted Sima Shang and got his wholehearted support, and the two loved each other like brothers.Since then, he has become even more invincible on the battlefield.

Later, he was tricked by Guo Kai and Han Cang, and he had no choice but to kill Zi You, the person Sima Shang cherished the most.

Sima Shang also turned against him because of this.

Since then, he has fallen into a nightmare that he will never be able to escape: the mocking and mocking expression on the girl's dying face has become a shadow that he cannot shake off.He has no sleep every night, and only on the battlefield can he temporarily forget her.

Three years later, when she met him again, they were already strangers.She is a loyal servant of the Empire - a Shadow Phantom.

For the common purpose, they overthrew Guo Kai and set up an ambush in Bolangsha, but they fell short. Later, they fled to Yanmen to subdue the ghost army of the Xiongnu.There, he and she nearly died, and then he returned to Youwan City.

When he wanted to plan to get rid of Han Cang, he was one step too late: he was imprisoned by Yun Zhongjun.

It was only later that he realized that his coming to Youxuan City was a pre-arranged game, and he was just a pawn at the mercy of others, every move he made was involuntary.

Fate made another joke with him: Youwang City, which has always been opposed to the Yin-Yang family, is actually the tool that the Yin-Yang family relies on to restore the country.And he was the reincarnation of King Zhou Nan!The value of my own existence is just to give those people a legitimate reason to raise troops and restore the country, and I am just a tool to control the ghost army.

A group of obsessed people even want to revive the distant dynasty, but at the cost of subverting the world.It's ridiculous!Let him sacrifice himself in exchange for the world, how can he be willing?

In the end, he and Yun Zhongjun had a fight to the death.Jun Yunzhong died, and he also received the Fire Seal of Ending.He personally destroyed the jade of Kunshan and sent the ghost army of Youwang City into reincarnation.It is only to prevent the ghost army in Youwang City from being enslaved forever and causing a catastrophe.

Now, he is alone, and his life is not long.

How ridiculous!After working in vain for more than ten years, in the end it was empty-handed.He worked hard and endured to survive, but got nothing.Not even the enemy can be cut.

Fate really played a huge joke on him!How could he be fooled so far?

He was not reconciled to such an ending.

But he never regrets his hard work.Although he has been pursuing hard and suffering hardships, even though he has found nothing in the end, he has no regrets.Do human affairs first, then God's will.Such an effort he did.Even if it is in vain, even if there is no hope of restoring the country, he will not regret it.

Not everyone is destined to pursue success, there are always people who will be losers.He finally got such a result, but also helpless.It turned out that the fate was doomed early on, and he had the power to reverse the fate, but the price was too high.He can't help but give up.

Since it is a choice made by oneself, what regrets do you have?

It turns out that no matter how strong the inner obsession is, it is still no match for fate.

He sighed softly, not wanting to think about it.
