Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Chapter 40: Passing

Ye Ziyu suddenly lowered her head to look at Cheng Wanning in her arms, and Cheng Wanning also looked at her with her neck up, the two looked at each other for a long time, tears welled up in Cheng Wanning's eyelashes, she clearly He could clearly see that her little Yu looked at her with puzzlement and worry, but no disgust or killing intent.

Ye Ziyu sighed, "Ah Ning, are they from your side? Then... it won't hurt you, right?"

Cheng Wanning buried her head in Ye Ziyu's neck, not wanting to meet her gaze, she nodded and then shook her head when she heard the words, at this time the people behind her were already approaching, and Ye Ziyu had no way to retreat.

The leaves fluttered down on one side of the forest, followed by An Shen and Ye Yi who had been in the dark all the time, seeing this situation, they guarded Ye Ziyu behind their backs, and the two faced each other.

Ye Ziyu turned around and looked down the cliff, the depth was unfathomable, the cold air was overwhelming, even with Ye Ziyu's martial arts, if he jumped down like this, there would be no bones left.

An Shen Yeyi and the other two fought each other, but they could only drag on. They were not opponents at all. Ye Ziyu had no intention of helping each other, but looked down at Ah Ning, and sighed, "What should I do? Ah Ning, I still...don't want to let go."

Cheng Wanning replied softly, "Xiao Yu, let's jump down."

Ye Ziyu raised Cheng Wanning's chin and looked into her eyes, although there was sadness, but no intention of death.Then she hugged Ah Ning's hand tightly, "I believe in you." After speaking, he jumped up without hesitation.

The speed of the fall was very fast, Ye Ziyu tried his best to insert the sword between the cliffs to slow down the fall of the two, his arm was numb from the friction between the sword and the cliff, the sword body was embedded in the stone wall, and a long mark was drawn, Ye Ziyu The tiger's mouth was also cracked and bleeding, dripping in Cheng Wanning's hair, and slipping through the corners of her eyes, like weeping blood.

Cheng Wanning looked up at Ye Ziyu, "Xiao Yu, let go, we won't die."

Although it was only for a moment, Ye Ziyu's hand was still tightly held, and he let go of the sword with great difficulty and fell with Cheng Wanning. The feeling of the wind blowing through her hair and fingertips was very clear. Thought that the two would fall like this forever, without end, but they could embrace each other forever.

But the reality is that it took only a moment, and the two of them could already see the situation on the ground. Wrapped directly, and was not injured by the falling force.The branch curled up and the two of them were about to retract. At this moment, Cheng Wanning pulled out the sleeve knife from her sleeve and cut the sachet at her waist. A burst of fresh fragrance came out, and the branch let go of the two of them one after another. , but only two or three meters from the ground.Ye Ziyu directly brought the person to the ground safely with light work.

Standing firmly on the ground, Ye Ziyu heaved a sigh of relief, looked up and couldn't see the head at all, and the tree growing on the cliff was quiet like an ordinary tree at this moment.

"That tree is called ignorance, and it can prey. There are ignorance trees everywhere at the bottom of the cliff. It is afraid of the fragrance of needles, which are white needles that have not been made into tea." Although she explained, she did not say why she If she knew there was such a tree at the bottom of the cliff, Ye Ziyu would not ask if she didn't tell.

Cheng Wanning lowered her head, held Ye Ziyu's bleeding hand in front of her eyes, took out her handkerchief and carefully bandaged it, "Xiao Yu, we need to go around the cliff and return to the official road, it seems that we will have to delay it for a few days before rendezvous with the army gone."

The relationship between the two seems to be the same as in the past, Ye Ziyu always leaves the best for Cheng Wanning.The most delicious part of the hunting food after grilling belongs to Ah Ning, and the safest and dry place during rest is also Ah Ning’s. No matter what the environment is, whatever Ye Ziyu can give is what she can get inside the best.

But... they all knew that there was a gap between the two of them.Even though they were still hugging each other intimately and joking, the atmosphere was obviously different. They knew each other well, but they still tried their best to maintain the joy on their faces.

Until the day when he was about to leave the mountains, Ye Ziyu hunted a pheasant as usual, and made a fire to barbecue, but Cheng Wanning, who was sitting beside him in a daze, suddenly said, "Xiao Yu, I want to drink water, you go to the stream and make a pot Water, I'll bake."

Ye Ziyu took a deep look at her, Cheng Wan condensed in Ye Ziyu's gaze, and looked away, but her words were still coquettish, "Are you okay?" Ye Ziyu patted her head with a smile, " Then be careful, don't burn it. I'll fetch water."

Cheng Wanning nodded, watching Ye Ziyu take the kettle and turn away a little bit, until the figure was covered by trees, then turned to look at the pheasant erected, her delicate face reflected the firelight, and her downcast eyes cast There was a shadow, and every thread was dead.

Ye Ziyu still sliced ​​off the most delicious part of the chicken and handed it to Cheng Wanning in a leaf, while he directly took the remaining chicken and gnawed it, as if the food baked by Ah Ning was especially delicious.

After eating, the remains were buried with soil, Ye Ziyu leaned on Cheng Wanning's legs and looked up at the starlight in the sky, his clear and cold voice sounded tender at this moment, "Ah Ning, if we stay here forever, only us It would be nice for two people to go from youth to twilight, from white hair to white hair."

"Ah Ning, I thought that everything was restarted to make up for it. I thought I knew everything and could grasp the overall situation...but I was wrong. If the restart is to let me see what I couldn't see before, then I would rather From the very beginning, I took you away and flew away without asking for anything..."

Cheng Wanning just listened quietly, playing with Ye Ziyu's hand in front of her, until Ye Ziyu's voice became smaller and smaller, Cheng Wanning heard Ye Ziyu's helpless voice for the first time, "Ah Ning, it hurts..." She pulled out her hand from Cheng Wanning's hand, and covered her stomach tightly, her words became weaker, her face was still pale even under the firelight, and the clothes on her abdomen were twisted by Ye Ziyu's grip. Together, still calling, "A Ning...A Ning..."

Cheng Wanning didn't look at Ye Ziyu at first, and picked up the dirt on the ground with her hand hanging by her side. Her usually white nails were filled with mud and stained with dust. Finally, she heard Ye Ziyu's call, and finally answered. Turning her head, she bent down to touch Ye Ziyu's face, and responded, "Xiao Yu, I'm here." With this opening, the suppressed crying sound in her throat was fully exposed, and in an instant, tears dripped down Ye Ziyu's face , Looking from a distance, I can't tell who is crying.

The fire was ignited little by little, and the night darkened little by little. Ye Ziyu, lying in Cheng Wanning's arms, closed her eyes and remained silent.Cheng Wanning kissed the pale lips of the person in her arms, and looked towards the sky, her eyes were hollow, as if she had lost her soul.

The blazing phoenix army has been waiting for their general for a long time, but no one came, and there was no news. The irritable Baihang couldn't sit still.Sitting in the tent, he was discussing with the army division to go to meet him, but the tent was opened by a panicked soldier.

Before Bai Hang had time to reprimand him, the soldier plopped down on his knees at Bai Hang's feet, "General... The general is dead!"

Bai Hang was stunned for a moment, his mind was blank, and he couldn't understand what it meant. The military adviser Zhu Xun on the side was more calm, "Speak clearly! General? Is it General Ye? What's wrong with him!" Turning red, he whimpered, "The general's wife has returned with General Ye's body!" Hearing this, Zhu Xun, who was barely calm, suddenly softened his legs and knelt on the ground, as if his whole body strength had been taken away.

Bai Hang didn't believe it. When he came back to his senses, he opened the tent and shouted to kill the rumor-mongers, but he saw Cheng Wanning, who was dressed in white, dragging a cart with a cold ice coffin on it. Wan Ning's eyes were red and swollen, and the fundus was bloodshot, and the hatred was clearly written on her face.

Bai Hang stiffly raised his legs and walked to the side of the ice coffin. Although he couldn't see clearly through the thick ice, the outline of his face at that time was correct.An iron-blooded man just knelt beside the ice coffin, full of mourning, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "General!"

That night, the entire battalion of Chifeng's army hung up white flags and changed into mourning clothes. From time to time, suppressed cries could be heard. The main tent was set up as a mourning hall, and Cheng Wanning knelt in front of the ice coffin and wept silently.Her black hair was draped behind her back, and her face without makeup was bluish-white, like a ghost.

A few generals were also guarding the side, looking sad, Bai Hang asked in a hoarse voice, "Who killed the general?"

Cheng Wanning ignored no one, just stared at the ice coffin without saying a word.

Bai Hang's eyes were bloodshot, and his sentences were full of murderous intent, "Is it Zhuo An? It must be Zhuo An! What happened to the general in Pingxi, who else can hurt the general except King Pingxi?!"

Bai Hang turned and walked out, drew out the sword beside him, "I'm going to kill that thing to avenge the general!"

Zhu Xun tugged at Bai Hang, "Calm down!"

Bai Hang turned his head to stare at Zhu Xun, and shouted, "Calm down? The general is lying here, you tell me to calm down?!"

Zhu Xun, who has always been gentle and gentle, also lost his composure, "If you don't calm down, I will send you to my death now! If you can't avenge yourself, if you go to accompany the general, the general will think you will be ashamed!"

The two stared at each other, both red eyes filled with sorrow and anger, at this moment, there was a slight sound outside, Xiao Ning lifted the curtain, only to see a man in black lying on the ground with injuries all over his body, it was dull.

Seeing Xiao Ning, he raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Ning's hem, "General, where's the general?"

Xiao Ning moved away without saying a word, allowing An Shen to see clearly inside the tent.

All of a sudden, all the luck was gone.It turns out...the whole army is plain, something happened to the real general...

"The general had an accident outside Furong Town. The general was chased by a group of robbers, but the martial arts of those robbers were not what ordinary robbers might have. Madame together...jumped off a cliff."

At this time, Cheng Wanning seemed to have just recovered, she stared blankly at the blood-covered darkness, "It's all for me... Xiao Yu is all for me, she put herself underneath... She did it to protect her. It's all my fault, I'm dragging her down." His eyes were wide open, clear to the bottom, as if he couldn't cry anymore, but the guilt and sadness in it seemed to be able to overwhelm people.

As if she couldn't hold on anymore, she fell to the ground and passed out.
