true identity

Chapter61【Modify】

In the dark night, the roaring river opened its mouth wide like a glutton and swallowed all the lives that stepped into it.The moonlight shining on the river is like ice and snow on a winter night, and the sparkling light is as sharp as a silver needle.

Wrapped in the warm fox fur, Xiao Ze raised a triumphant smile, his brows were gloomy and gloomy, as if his long-awaited wish had finally come to fruition: "Go to the underworld and be rampant." He laughed arrogantly.Surrounded by Gu Yuehantian's soldiers, his laughter was abrupt and sinister, and no one dared to echo him.

Lin Dajin got off his horse and approached, looked at the rolling river for a while, then turned his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that the little prince's archery skills are so good, they will definitely have no way out now." If you step down at night, half your life will be lost, not to mention the whole person will be buried under the river.

Xiao Ze swept away his tiredness before, and turned his horse's head energetically: "Let's go, attack the mountain tonight!" With such vigor as a tiger, he will take over the old lair of Hanfeng Mountain tonight, so that those who look down on him can see his ability.

Without waiting for Lin Dajin's command, he took the lead and drove away.A few accompanying servants chased after him too quickly.

Lin Dajin's men asked Lin Xiaowei what to do.

Lin Dajin exhaled a hot breath.The breath condensed into fog in the cold air, spreading in front of his eyes as if it could cover the clouds and avoid the moon, he shouted: "Damn it, maybe I can really succeed with the little prince." .

He spit on the palm of his hand, his face blurred from the heat, and then he punched his brothers and shouted loudly: "Destroy the rebels!" The rough voice resounded through the wilderness and was inspiring.

"Destroy the rebels!"

"Destroy the rebels!"

The brothers were excited, there was meat to eat, money to earn, and officials to take whoever did not do it and whoever was an idiot. They followed Lin Dajin and rushed to the top of Hanfeng Mountain with swords, guns and arrows.

The icy water covered the top of their heads, and there was a bottomless sky in front of them, and the biting cold enveloped them from all directions from the outside to the inside.Their feet could not touch the stable ground, and they fell into the cold and suffocating abyss. The rushing water turned into tender monsters, rolling their legs, silently and unstoppably pulling them down. fall.

Jiang Yanyi's white clothes reflected the moonlight in the dark river, as if dyed with the light of fireflies, scorchingly attracted Zhao Ci's attention.Holding his breath, he struggled to shake Jiang Yanyi's hand.

The horse rushed down the water, and while raising its head and neighing, it paddled its four hooves unyieldingly, and the flurry of dancing hooves hit Zhao Ci's forehead so hard that he couldn't die.

The height he had finally ascended was easily knocked down, and the force was as swift and rapid as Mount Tai pressing down on the top, which made him lose consciousness instantly before he was startled.

No matter how hard he struggled, he would appear humble and insignificant under the turbulent and ruthless waves, and the horse was washed down by the rushing water.The two people in the river were like falling autumn leaves. Without the support of the vines, they followed the current in a daze, and any jagged boulder could easily kill them.

His drowsy eyes were half-opened, and the shadow of the white dress in his eyes was getting further and further away.Zhao Ci opened his mouth in a daze, and the air bubbles in his mouth rolled up to the surface of the river one by one. When he couldn't spit out any more air bubbles from his throat, he and the river water were completely integrated.

It was quiet in the Hall of No Names.

Smoke curled up from the incense cauldron in front of the tablet.

Zhao Yan knelt on the futon upright, folded her hands and closed her eyes devoutly in prayer.Feeling restless, even her hands couldn't help trembling, she opened her eyes suddenly, and among the many empty and nameless tablets, only those two sides captured people's attention.The name of the person on it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Zhao Yan's impression of them was only in black and white. Everyone told her that they were her closest relatives, but she didn't have this feeling.

One of her closest relatives is on the mountain and the other is down the mountain.

After a long time, she still chose to let Zhao Ci go down the mountain.It doesn't matter even if she feeds a tiger with her body, after all, she owes him a lot.

When she first found out that Zhao Cifei was her own brother, she was astonished as if in a dream.But then he put the matter behind him, because the secret was irrelevant, and the brother-sister relationship between him and her continued to burn.However, as time went on, she understood more and more that this relationship was a bondage to him.It was as if a bundle of ropes with fangs bound his hands and feet heavily, preventing him from being free.He can only stay on the mountain to protect himself and everyone else, and run around doing things under the name of "Brother" Zhao.

Zhao Yan is not like Zhao Jingshu, she loves everyone, but her heart is not as big as Zhao Jingshu's, she can hide everyone, she only hopes that the people around her can be happy, what does the restoration of the Zhao family do to her?She only wishes to be with Aunt Xiang and Zhao Ci forever.

She is greedy for her brother's love, but she doesn't want Zhao Ciru to be tied up like a puppet.

The wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Zhao Ci and Gongsun Ming go down the mountain, they will be happy.

But by mistake - it's a pity and a pity.

Now that the building is about to collapse, only this step in front of him can keep Zhao Ci safe and sound.

But the lessons learned from the past made her feel uneasy, and her heart was pounding, and she was shocked one after another.

The eyelashes fluttered slightly, Zhao Yan's red lips squirmed slightly, and the uneasiness spread to her lips, she didn't know how to pray to God.

There were clear footsteps behind him.

Gongsun Ming's voice came clear: "You are indeed here." It is not supposed to carry a sword when entering the ancestral hall, but the matter is urgent, he can enter the ancestral hall as an outsider, let alone a sword.He looked up, and the monuments like mountains and mountains were arranged in front of him in a vast and shocking way. The unique smell of incense sticks made this small room full of mystery.

Zhao Yan opened her eyes, and her voice was erratic: "Although I know I shouldn't, but I just can't calm down, as if something is about to happen. The last time I was so restless was the wedding night." She turned her head, Gongsun Ming pursed his lips and remained silent.

He is also uneasy.It was as if there was a tumultuous hand in the chest that disturbed the heartstrings, attracting thunder and scorching the earth for thousands of miles.He thought it was the pain of parting from Zhao Ci, but when he tasted it quietly, it didn't look like bitterness or remorse, but anxiety and restlessness.

Gongsun Ming's expression made Zhao Yan feel sorry for her: "Could it be that my brother is in trouble?" She straightened up quickly.

At this moment, many tablets in the hall suddenly shook, and the unwarranted vibration caused them to fall one after another. The overwhelming momentum made it too late to react.In the end, only one tablet remained on it, on which the three characters "Zhao Jingshu" flowed with golden light.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Yan was supported by Gongsun Ming to block behind her, and she stared at the movement in front of her in shock.

Gongsun Ming's expression moved.

"I saw the phoenix move." Zhao Ci's voice suddenly flashed in his mind.

The golden light flashed, and the speed was so fast that people could mistake it for an illusion.

But in the next instant, the golden light rushed into the eyes of the phoenix on the white wall.

The meaning of the finishing touch should be like this, once the light falls into the picture, it will burst open as if it has life.The full-blooming brightness instantly made people unable to keep their eyes open. Gongsun Ming squinted his eyes and stared at the phoenix slowly spreading its wings through the gap between his hands.Bright rays of light flowed from its eyes all over its body. In the end, the rays of light were no longer pure gold, but also like silver mixed with moonlight, but in the next moment it was like a rainbow of rosy rays.

The phoenix flew from the wall to the ground, and its graceful posture was like a god.

The inexplicable sense of closeness made Zhao Yan walk out from behind Gongsun Ming by mistake.

"Should I know you?" She stepped forward and stretched out her hand like a dream.

Phoenix nodded slightly, pecking at the back of Zhao Yan's hand with his beak.The light was fleeting in Zhao Yan's hands.

In just one click, Zhao Yan understood everything.

Turbulent tears rolled out of Zhao Yan's eyes in an instant: "Grandmother." The light extended from the wings of the phoenix, like a fairy ribbon gently surrounding it.

The light pierced Gongsun Ming so hard that he could no longer see the slightest bit. Seeing that it did not threaten Zhao Yan, he simply closed his eyes and listened carefully.

"Save brother."

But he could only hear this sentence.The light was instantly reduced.When he opened his eyes, the phoenix was gone, and the pictures on the wall were blank.

"She is Zhao Jingshu?" Gongsun Ming asked strangely.

Zhao Yan clenched her fists tightly, her hands trembling in front of her chest uncontrollably, this movement was so strong that even her body couldn't help shaking, as if she was enduring some torment.

Her weird behavior made Gongsun Ming take a step forward subconsciously: "Zhao Yan?"

Zhao Yan raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red as if she had cried, and her decisive tone was completely different from her expression: "Han Fengshan is in great trouble."

As soon as the words fell, a panicked and noisy voice came from a distance.

"Attack! Night attack!"

There are many strange rocks in the river. Fortunately, the river water has been impacted for years, and no matter how sharp the edges are, they can be smoothed.Zhao Ci slammed his arm against the stone, and the pain woke him up from his deep sleep.His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and he looked around.

In the dark environment, they were washed up and down by the river. Zhao Ci subconsciously grasped the river grass that was passing by in front of him. As soon as he held it tightly, he found that the river grass turned into smoke, and the fog rushed in front of him. His frozen nose smelled a star. Iron smell.

Blood……

Blood! ?

The smell of blood startled him suddenly, following the smell of blood, he found Jiang Yanyi in less than a moment.The latter was completely unresponsive as if he was asleep with his eyes closed, but luckily his mouth was also tightly closed.Zhao Ci floated on the water at the age of three, and his swimming skills are definitely not blown. Taking advantage of his last breath, he caught Jiang Yanyi and quickly floated to the surface.

The lungs were finally shuffled by fresh air before exploding. Zhao Ci didn't want to experience the hearty pain and luck again.The turbulent water broke off at the low and gentle cliff, and they were washed into the vast lake. Fortunately, the water was not deep, and Zhao Ci was just barely chest high enough to float.

He hugged Jiang Yanyi with difficulty and leaned towards the shore while floating and walking.

This river comes from the waterfall on the top of the mountain. Taking advantage of the mountain's drop, the water flow is extremely turbulent and turbulent. Thanks to the rapid speed, Zhao Ci was washed to the gentle river surface in one breath.The river bank is knee-deep, and the stones on the river bed have been scoured for many years to create a slippery surface, and you will not feel any pain when you step on them with bare feet.

Zhao Ci was gradually exposed to the air from the river, and he was frozen like a sieve when the cold wind blew.

The big black horse passed out by the river, its hooves still struggling and cramping.

The river bank was paved with dry stones, and inside were layers of forests. The tall trees blocked most of the cold wind. Zhao Ci gasped for breath, and carried Jiang Yanyi on his back to touch the bank.He put Jiang Yanyi flat on the ground, and patted his cheek: "Jiang Yanyi, Jiang Yanyi?" He believed that Jiang Yanyi should understand the principle of submerging in water and holding his breath, and there should be no coughing and suffocation.

It's one thing to be reasonable, but another to get flustered if you don't get a response.

He stretched out his hand to test his mouth and nose. The gap between the tree branches was too large, and it was impossible to detect whether he was breathing or not in the air-leakage environment.Zhao Ci touched his face and hands, which were as cold as frost.But the temperature in the palm of my hand is not much better.He also wanted to learn the rescue action of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but he was not even an amateur, and he didn't even know where the carotid artery was.

No matter, just press the chest directly.

"The choking water should also be pressed out." He brushed his wet hair back, straightened his body and folded his hands to touch his chest.

He froze.

A bad thought flashed through his mind.

With a jolt, he rolled over Jiang Yanyi's body.The broken arrow stood on his back, the blood from the wound drenched his clothes, mixed with cold water and stained his entire back.

The long clouds chase the moon and move slowly, and the light shines into this small world.

Jiang Yanyi's eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was peaceful as if he was in deep sleep, but his complexion was as white as a piece of paper.

Whiter than snow, colder than ice.

Are you kidding me?

He was still talking to him before he fell into the water, why did he get shot by an arrow all of a sudden, when did this happen! ?

The heartbeat missed the beat, and Zhao Ci, who had vowed to celebrate his return to life before, was suddenly black and then bright, his head was heavy as if he had been filled with river water, and he was light as if he had lost consciousness, and his chest was painful. Like the words, it was like being punched by a strongman with his housekeeping skills, and even a little bit of fishy sweetness came out of his throat. He had no doubt that he could vomit blood just by opening his mouth.

Just kidding!

He always likes to tease people, and it must be the same this time, so he is definitely not dead, all of this is just pretending, right! ?But Jiang Yanyi still lay quietly on the ground, no matter how much Zhao Ci slapped him, he didn't respond, and he was all silent when he called him.The moonlight shone obliquely on his face, the straight nose was reflected in the sideways face, and the tightly closed lips seemed to be holding back a smile.

Zhao Ci only felt goosebumps all over his body, he bent down unwillingly, put his hands on his shoulders, leaned face to face into Jiang Yanyi's ear and shouted: "Stop making trouble, I will forgive you when you wake up , I also forgive you for the bad things you did in Zhujian Villa before, and for those few sticks that beat me in Han County. As long as you wake up, I promise you all your plots and tricks. You are cured of the poison, I also fled down the mountain, we both have nothing to do, you really don't want to make trouble." The fragmented sentences mixed with faint sobs seemed extraordinarily desperate in the deserted desert.

They have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, experienced narrow escapes, and crossed the dangers of high mountains. Now they are finally able to fly together, but they will never see each other again.

"Jiang Yanyi, don't scare me anymore. I'm cowardly and I can't stand your torment." Once the tears fell, they couldn't stop. Zhao Ci cried without dignity, and a lot of snot and tears fell down.At first, the crying was suppressed, and the choked voice was aggrieved and sad, but as he talked, counting the past laughter and laughter, Zhao Ci felt even more desperate at this moment.

How many times did he think that yin and yang were separated, and it was a thrilling event in the end? Why did he fall into the abyss of despair after giving him great hope this time?

Not getting a response, as if complaining to the air.

He pressed his face against Zhao Jiang Yanyi's forehead and cheeks, and put his hands into the inner part of his clothes, hoping to warm his skin with his body temperature.As soon as he put his hand into his underwear, the wet and sticky feeling made him quickly withdraw his hand. Looking at it under the moonlight, his entire palm was bright red.Zhao Ci's head buzzed, and he finally realized that Jiang Yanyi had really left.

The palm attached to Jiang Yanyi's back gradually warmed up, but the person in her arms was still as cold as iron, which was cruel indifference.

"You obviously have the ability to dodge, why don't you dodge!" Zhao Ci cried and patted Jiang Yanyi's arm in grief, resentment emerged spontaneously after the pain of crying.He didn't want him to die, even if he died, Jiang Yanyi would not allow him to die.But he just took everything and let him leave safely.

Zhao Ci didn't appreciate Jiang Yanyi at all, and even wanted to beat him up.But no matter how he shook him or called him, the bastard was sleeping tightly on the ground, and nothing troubled him.

How should he beat him?He even wanted to punch himself.

Excessive sadness made Zhao Ci feel like he was dreaming, and he suddenly slapped himself again: "Am I still dreaming, all of this is a dream, I didn't actually time travel, and you are also at home as a small village owner. "He hit hard, as if he was not hitting himself, but his enemy.With three or four chins, the cheeks on both sides will be swollen with a large handprint.

"But I can't wake up, I really can't wake up..."

Reality crushed him, he knelt down on the ground, his head resting heavily on Jiang Yanyi's arm, his whole back bent into an unbearable arch bridge.Indeed, in the next moment, his whole body fell to the ground.

Jiang Yanyi's side profile was beautiful, and it was even more beautiful under the moonlight.In fact, the most attractive thing about him is not the seductive mouth, nor the straight bridge of the nose, but the pair of talking eyebrows.Anger and laughter have their own styles, raised eyebrows are the precursor of a storm, long eyebrows are bent lily of the valley in spring, raised eyebrows are silent butterflies passing among flowers.

Perhaps, he was attracted by these ever-changing eyes, and gradually fell in love with this Master Jiang.

But those eyes would never open to smile at him again.

Zhao Ci, who was lying on his side, bowed like a shrimp, buried his head in Jiang Yanyi's arms, weeping silently, revealing a trace of breath, sadly discovered the breach, and ran out of Zhao Ci's mouth one after another.The crying became louder and louder, from the pattering rain to the torrential rain, but the grief in his heart did not diminish at all, the pain was torn into holes, and his heart was full of holes.

Intense noise came from the direction of the village gate, and the sound of clashing swords and swords was mixed with arrogant laughter, adding a thick ink of horror to this doomed restless night.Qin Ke's black-clothed guards poured out from the forest in the house, and rushed to the clearing where the flames were burning in order.

Gongsun Ming guarded the panicked Zhao Yan, like two single carps, he went upstream to look for Gongsun Xiang.

There is a big clock on the watchtower of the gate of the village. Someone knocked on the bell at the moment of the attack. The heavy buzzing sound affected the silver bells on the gateposts of all the houses.

Qin Ke, Gongsun Xiang and his party came forward immediately.

After bumping into Gongsun Ming, Qin Ke hurriedly glanced at Zhao Yan, nodded slightly with Gongsun Xiang, and rushed to the front with the black-clothed guards.Gongsun Xiang hugged the weeping Zhao Yan: "Don't be afraid, Yan'er, I will let Tao Tao take you away first."

"No, I won't go." Zhao Yan pulled away from her embrace, and before Gongsun Xiang got angry, he choked up and said, "The other party has a lot of people, and we are afraid that we will lose. How can I leave you and live alone?"

"Nonsense." Gongsun Xiang reprimanded: "You didn't go to the front, how do you know that there are many people on the other side? You are the only one here who needs protection, and staying here will only hinder you." She sent Zhao Yan to Tao Tao who was at a loss in time .

Zhao Yan grabbed Gongsun Xiang's hand and said, "I saw grandma."

"Princess?"

Gongsun Ming gave a rough account of the wonders and visions he saw in the Wuming Hall.

Under everyone's astonished and disbelieving gazes, Zhao Yan added: "Grandmother told me that Xiao Ze's troops are far from what we can match. Tonight will definitely be a fierce battle, and the casualties are immeasurable."

"She just told you this?" Gongsun Xiang was surprised.

Tao Tao interrupted anxiously: "Then is there any solution?"

"Grandmother told me that she is a demigod, and because she has a contract with her brother, she cannot cast more spells to help us." Having said that, looking at their disappointed eyes, Zhao Yan felt sad as if she owed her money. Everyone, but what makes her more worried and resentful is another thing: "My brother is on the verge of life and death at this time, and the culprit is Xiao Ze."

Hearing the "contract", Gongsun Ming instantly understood something.Just as he suddenly realized, when he heard that Zhao Ci was in trouble, he wished he could fly down the mountain immediately.

But Gongsun Xiang suddenly said: "I see." She looked up solemnly, staring at the raging anger in front of her.The sky was as dark as an abyss, and rockets flew in the night sky like meteors flashing by. The sudden fire light was beautiful and dangerous, and the black clothes shrouded under it were illuminated red, and the painful wailing came and went, and her eyes were sparkling with sparks.

Many years ago, Zhao Jingshu asked her to take Zhao Ci up the mountain in a dream, saying that he was the only one who could save the descendants of the Zhao family.

She subconsciously believed that Zhao Ci could follow in Zhao Yue's footsteps and lead everyone to successfully regain the imperial power from Xiao Tingchuan.Today, she finally understands that this is a tragedy doomed from beginning to end.

Zhao Ci is in trouble, Zhao Jingshu will go to help him.When he is safe, Gongsun Xiang believes that he will definitely go up the mountain.

Until then--

Gongsun Xiang lowered his head and caressed Zhao Yan's face. The chubby cheeks of a young girl have diminished with the passage of time. Sooner or later, she will grow into a beautiful woman. She must be as beautiful as Zhao Yue at that time, and I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see her again.

Tears flashed, and after only a moment, Gongsun Xiang returned to his glamorous appearance again. Gongsun Xiang said decisively: "Tao Tao, escort Zhao Yan down the mountain, and take good care of her."

"No! I don't!" Zhao Yan struggled out of Tao Tao's hands, threw herself on Gongsun Xiang, and tightly wrapped her arms around her waist.

Tao Tao was stunned: "Where do you go down the mountain?"

Zhao Yan wanted to defend herself, but Gongsun Xiang slashed at the back of her neck with his hands.

Tao Tao opened his eyes wide and watched Zhao Yan faint in Gongsun Xiang's arms.

Gongsun Xiang turned around resolutely and quickly and entrusted Zhao Yan to Liu Lin: "Be sure..." She couldn't say a word, her eyes were deeply glued to Zhao Yan's face.

"Yes." Liu Lin narrowed her eyes and picked up the unconscious Zhao Yan, then took a few steps back and quickly sank into the night scene.

Tao Tao and Zhao Yan are the same sisters, she is impetuous and has no opinion, Zhao Yan will be easily persuaded by her when she wakes up.Liu Lin is clever and knows how to be flexible, and puts the overall situation first in everything, and is capable enough to protect Zhao Yan in case of danger.The task of sending Zhao Yan down the mountain can only be entrusted to Liu Lin.

Xiao Ze and the others entered the depths of the village like a broken bamboo, and Qin Ke's figure among the resisting black-clothed guards was particularly eye-catching.

The screams rose and fell one after another, the sound of the sword hitting the ears, the big bell hummed like a howl, and the doorbell rang heavily.

Gongsun Xiang drew out his sword: "Life and death come at a time." The flames lit up her eyes, and she was no longer the girl who followed Zhao Yue. Years had passed, and she only wished she hadn't turned back in time.
