without me

Like my persuasion, Jiang Ci quickly packed his bags, and the problem turned to me.

Those big guys followed Jiang Youwei's instructions well. Although the subordinates could obviously feel the stagnation and intolerance, they could only do it peacefully.

The two legs, under their kindness, kept one without major problems, and after a period of rest, they can walk as before——

That is impossible.

The other leg was completely sacrificed, so it passed Jiang Youwei's inspection, and my feelings for him became more obscure and bottomless.

"...Leave me alone, I will find a way."

And Jiang Ci stubbornly thinks that this is not a drag, even if I have to be supported now to walk a short distance smoothly.

Having said that, the situation is not what it wants.

It can be regarded as a temptation, I asked him to help me to go across the street for a walk, but at the door, a few servants and strong men who took turns to replace him stopped me, saying nothing, and Jiang Ci was also blocking me within the range.

I looked at the other party with an expected expression, both helpless and ironic.

And the fear that I'd slipped to this level?Jiang Wenru was still outside recently, so he had no other choice. Even the prison cage was prepared for me, and he still refused to let Jiang Ci go.

If it was easy to escape before, it has become cumbersome now.

"You go first," I patted Jiang Ci on the shoulder, "When the time comes, take one step at a time."

I saw the other party opened his mouth, and he hesitated to respond to me.

"I... probably can dig it out, or maybe not."

In the end, I just said that I was going to see the arrangement in the mansion first, but the result shocked me.The entire Jiang Mansion was strictly guarded by many servants from the inside. I don't know what Jiang Youwei ordered. When he saw me, he looked like he saw a death row prisoner who had fled for many years. He was afraid and hoped that I would be brought to justice.

Jiang Ci couldn't help frowning, biting his thumb subconsciously.

"Now, He Huang's letter can't be delivered either."

I'm afraid so.

Since it is so strict, are the wives also trapped in the mansion?I dragged my limp and asked around with difficulty, and the answer became clear.

That's right, they were also restrained, but Mrs. Dong was a character who liked to play everywhere, and she definitely couldn't be locked up, so she was allowed to go out after lunch, and she couldn't leave the palace, and she had to keep her mouth shut.Of course, my mother needless to say, but Chen Ju only nervously cared a few words, and only asked the scroll to remain as usual, so that she could stay in the room without doing anything.

Does this mean we should just die?

I thought there was no need to be like this, and I didn't figure it out until I got in touch with them these few days.

The wives already knew that I was crippled, and Jiang Youwei forcibly kept their mouths shut.

By controlling me and all the people who are close and unplanned, can no one know their actions and purposes?

What a fantastic job, constantly relying on deprivation to keep us within our reach.

Are there any well-informed fools in the mansion who think that they are protected by iron walls?I can see clearly how he regards everyone as abandoned sons.

After staying for a while, probably those guys have gradually slack off this task due to the passage of time. I was admiring the dying flowers in the yard—actually helping Jiang Ci to keep an eye on them so as not to leak anything, while he tiptoed around flipped out of the corner.

But this time it was just an attempt, except for the scar-faced cook who went out to prepare the ingredients, the news in the mansion had been blocked for a long time and urgently needed to be circulated.

Just in case, Jiang Ci took away some things first, and made the final steps after returning.Under my strong persuasion, he finally agreed to help me out temporarily and the day after tomorrow.

At this time, Jiang Wenru also ended the communication outside, and went back to rest in his room, looking in a good mood.

There is a saying that I deeply understand, "Time waits for no one".

For some reason, Jiang Ci anxiously dragged me over the wall, much earlier than the previously negotiated time.

You can probably think of it if you use your brain, there is some bad news.

Except for the two days when I was helping to keep an eye on and take advantage of the loopholes, as a foreshadowing, I stayed behind closed doors all day, and only asked the little maid to put the food outside the door during the three meals, and I rarely saw anyone.In this way, even if it disappeared suddenly, it would be too late to find out.

But Jiang Ci is different. He needs to walk around the mansion more to observe the situation. If he disappears suddenly, he will be noticed that something is wrong soon, and he may be chased back.

"Ah, by the way," Jiang Ci turned around suddenly, "Sister, wait for me for a while."

Not long after, he handed a wooden hairpin to my eyes.

"Take this."

I frowned, not understanding what the other person meant.

Jiang Ci snorted and stuffed it into my palm, "You take it first, take it!"

With such an attitude, it is absolutely not easy to refuse. I can only restrain my doubts and stuff the things into the pockets inside the sleeves.

besides.I quietly took away the long stick that Jiang Youwei always used to punish me, and used it as a crutch to support my body to barely walk. Fortunately, I have almost gotten used to it during this time, and fully accepted the fact that I am disabled.

The downtown area is crowded and messy, and he is not afraid of being discovered, so he was chosen as the place to meet He Huang.

Looking at the silhouette of him leading the way, I couldn't help sighing.

"Why does that kid trust you so much?" I've never seen Jiang Ci give so many orders to the servants in the mansion.

He Huang intends to joke, "This is called fate, and it will take some years for you, Mr. Jiang, to experience it... Oh no, you already knew it, didn't you?"

Although it is to mediate the atmosphere, after all, the nature of this time can be regarded as fleeing for life.It's just that there were muscles on his face that barely supported the sides of his face, and he squeezed out an unnatural and ugly smile.

I deliberated and exhaled, as if I was sighing helplessly, "...what happened."

He walked around the alley, "The army has been transferred back, what do you think?"

So fast?

...It's because life is muddled, it's not too fast, it's been a long time since the beginning, and it's even suspected that the Holy One is "showing mercy".

"It would be humiliating just to ask for it..."

He Huang vaguely heard the muttering, and replied flatly: "It's just an entrustment. In this business, you can't always hang around a single employer... I only keep Jiang Ci as a regular customer, and I don't want him to disappear like this."

You have to run some long distances to reach the place where you temporarily rest and hide. The location is definitely relatively remote and not easy to be found.

The way out made people feel obviously far away. If it weren't for his usual quality, if Jiang Ci walked such a long distance, he would probably be panting and trembling.

Jiang Ci yelled at me so suddenly that the departure time was neither very early nor late at night, which was really not a good time.Coupled with that hurried appearance, I am very worried whether he can go to Huguo Temple to meet Zhuiyan safely... Bah, bah, don't be such a crow's mouth.

It's just that the thought that exists in a moment is fleeting, but I don't want to let me throw it out of the good room, and there are noisy movements that are getting closer and closer to my ears.It changed from a blur at the beginning to a dull and piercing, huge sound of hooves, which quickly made people shudder and frightened.

I quickly looked to the people around me for confirmation, thinking that I was just entering the city, and I could probably delay it for a few more days.

But He Huang had an unexpected terrified face, his eyes widened, and after seeing clearly what the approaching person was holding in his hand, he grabbed the long stick, held my arm and hurriedly turned to another street. .

My footsteps were fast and I refused to relax. I, a cripple, had to use up all my strength to cooperate, but things became more and more wrong.

I endured my curiosity to ask what I saw, and became so anxious and flustered that I seemed to be on my way, but now I was undoubtedly on my way to escape.

He seemed to be thinking about something at the same time, but his body still couldn't support it and move quickly at the same time.

"……Feel sorry."

Amid my doubts, I saw He Huang's determined and slightly guilty expression on his face, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Immediately before I got a response, I felt a strange pain on the back of my neck, and dizziness spread to my mind.

Until the last trace of consciousness has not left, I understand that the bumps at this moment are He Huang who put me on his shoulders like a butcher fighting a dead pig.Fortunately, there was no more discomfort or nausea. I passed out quickly, and the other party whispered nervously and calmly in my ear.

"Go to the beggar Yu first, and go to Jiang Ci immediately after the arrangement is complete..."

"..."

The sound of chanting bursts into the ears, and Jiang Zhuiyan experienced unprecedented tranquility and peace.The monks sat cross-legged on the futons, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes and spoke words that she could not understand.

Even if she couldn't understand, she just sat outside in a daze, giving birth to an illusion of being isolated from the world.

The calmness in the mind that was quickly established was soon turbulent by the rapid knock on the temple door.

The little novice novice flipped the slightly cumbersome sleeves on his arms, exposing his fair arms, and gently opened the door.

Unexpectedly, a group of well-armored and well-built people stood outside the door, and behind them was a sedan chair that seemed ordinary at first glance.

Before the little novice could speak, the group of people blocked the door to prevent it from being closed again, and looked up at the abbot who was walking towards him and the quiet and elegant nun beside him.

They called Abbot Wenren cleanly, and then without any hesitation, "I was ordered to arrest people. Jiang Youwei is an accomplice of the rebels. The evidence is solid. Is his daughter Jiang Zhuiyan in the temple?"

Considering their identities and locations, this group of people didn't tear their skins and said some nasty things before they came up.

Before the words fell, Wen Ren still looked straight at the other party with a straight body, and there was a voice from the sedan chair that was low but clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Abbot... monks don't tell lies."

The man dressed like an ordinary noble stepped down steadily on his feet, his tone calm and not like a warning.

That doesn't mean it's not a warning.

Wen Ren remained unaffected, "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person."

At this time, Zhuiyan happened to be hiding beside Gudeng, his whole body was blocked by the wall, and he didn't dare to show up for fear of being discovered.

The other party smiled, "Then call it out, even sitting down is unavoidable."

"If I let it go..." He secretly glanced at Gu Deng, "What did the late emperor say?"

"Oh yes, I remembered now—'If you missed someone, what kind of copycats are you? Are there people who will listen to what you say in the future? Is there anyone who is afraid?'"

"'Take all of them back without leaving any one behind. Don't think about being a fish that slipped through the net. This is a deterrent.'"

Gu Deng just lowered his eyes and said nothing, at this time Wen Ren took a step forward, folded his palms together and said: "I see that she has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, and intends to stay... I also hope that the Holy One will make it happen."

"Complete?"

His eyes rolled slightly, "Okay, yes, it can be done—"

"Unless the Jiang family is ordained, we will see you at the execution ground. If there is any resistance, I will at least drag her to a place far from the Huguo Temple and chop off her head."

Jiang Zhuiyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he covered his mouth tightly with his hands, almost exclaiming.

Seeing that Wenren didn't speak, the other party went on to say: "I will be the abbot and agree, then I will come to check tomorrow, before that..."

"The army and the county government have their portraits. If she leaves this Huguo Temple, she will cut it off when she sees it."

Then the man said something to Gu Deng in a low voice, but Jiang Zhuiyan was too nervous to hear clearly.He turned around and waved his hands, and those people in armor followed him neatly. Seeing that the other party was firmly seated in the sedan chair, the bearer also picked up his things and stepped on the soil under his feet, and the group left.

The little novice closed the gate of the temple again, and Jiang Zhuiyan slumped down against the wall, fell to the ground, breathed in the air, but didn't count or do anything.

Wen Ren touched the top of the other party's head kindly, and left slowly, leaving only the lonely lamp standing still.

After a while, she still clearly felt her own fear, but it was more of worry.

Brother, what should they do...do they really have time to come and walk together...

They will also be...

Gu Deng's hand outstretched in mid-air paused, and it still landed on Jiang Zhuiyan's head just like Wen Ren did just now.

"..."

Jiang Zhuiyan raised her head in a daze, but the other party couldn't say any comforting words for a while.She muttered to herself: "Brother... Can I still see them?"

"All living beings and all things are caused by cause and effect." Gu Deng retracted his slender arms and remained silent for a moment.

Really unable to bear the erosion of fear, Jiang Zhuiyan knew that it would be very rude to ask questions, but at this time, it seemed that there was nothing in the world that made him sadder than losing his life.

"Master Gudeng," she tried her best to hide her choking, "Just now, Holy... What did His Majesty tell you?"

Gu Deng was stunned for a moment, but thought for a moment that it wasn't a big deal, maybe many people knew it, so it didn't hurt to tell this little girl.She smiled lovingly and replied, "Well, the Holy Majesty said..."

"'Mother, look at my wrinkles, I look as old as you now.'"

Amidst Jiang Zhuiyan's great surprise, she kept the expected feedback in her eyes and continued.

"'How come your face hasn't changed a little after you've been away for so many years? You don't even have any face towards me, as if you're a stranger.'"

And Gu Deng didn't refute him anything, just told the other party lightly.

"Well, you have indeed become exactly like your father."

"It's all the same, I can't keep any of them..."

……

Returning to He Huang at the corner of the street again, all the people watching the excitement were as far as his eyes could see. He could only see the army on high horses and the people from the county government in the underground, following the plan from a distance in a hurry. Spread out.

He moved his body without leaving any trace as if he was watching, and it took him a long time to reach Jiang's residence.

"..."

Then, a few clear and sweet bird calls came from the top of the wall, and Jiang Ci avoided the boy and quickly climbed up to the top of the wall.

"how is it going?"

There was no big reaction. I don't know if Master Jiang has received the news.

This time, the Son of Heaven's method has deceived almost everyone, and the biggest possibility is that he was caught off guard.

The timing of the attack was about the same as that of King Guangxian's faction, but it was still one step ahead of them.

Seeing that there was already a team speeding towards this side in the distance, He Huang frowned anxiously, "Quick, let's go."

Before the words were finished, I saw that team rushing towards another direction in the distance, but in the blind corner of my sight, someone had already opened the door of Jiang's Mansion.

"Catch them all, and kill those who want to escape on the spot."

"Yes!"

Immediately, screams and cries came from everywhere in Jiang's mansion, big and small, regardless of gender, and from time to time mixed with the movement of a knife cutting through flesh and blood, it was ear-piercing and terrifying.

He Huang took the package thrown by the other party, and saw Jiang Ci suddenly stopped, jumped off the wall - and returned to the mansion!

"you……!"

A voice pretending to be calm came from the other side of the wall.

"I forgot something, please wait a moment, please."

Before the progress of the group of people reached here, He Huang heard the heavy panting, and calculated in his heart that the army was about to reach this point.

Jiang Ci quickly ran to the empty wing room, took out a package of things that were not too heavy, and didn't dare to slow down and run back.

At this time, she heard someone calling herself, Jiang Yiqiong tied her dress around her waist in spite of herself, revealing the long underpants inside.

"Go, let's go!"

He returned to the corner along the original road, acquiescing to the other party leaving with him.

"Be careful!" Seeing something being thrown from the wall, He Huang leaned forward and stretched his arms, trying to catch it as safely as possible.

Holding things a little soft is more of an unknown source of temperature.

Under constant urging, Jiang Ci was about to turn around.

Don't come here, don't come here.

Holding the protruding brick on the wall tightly with his hands, when he was stepping halfway up, he shouted: "There is a man!"

Hurry up, now I can only hope that my movements can be faster, there is no other way.

"Whoosh-!"

"Whizzing--!"

The voice repeated so many times, Jiang Ci knew that the group of people had already aimed at his back, and his hands were still climbing, but his mind was blank.

The expected stinging pain did not come immediately, he still rushed to the wall unwillingly, the sound of piercing the wind was repeated again and again, and the muffled and painful shouts were heard in his ears.

Not caring so much anymore, Jiang Ci put his palms on the wall, and his legs were stepping towards a higher place on the wall.

"Whoosh-!"

An arrow finally pointed directly at Jiang Ci's back, and blood scorched from the wound, dripping onto the ground drop by drop.

The heart-piercing pain was reflected to every inch of his body, he opened his clenched teeth and let out a weak moan, his eyes gradually became cloudy.

Climbing has become an unconscious movement, and all the unwillingness and pursuit support the limbs like a gecko and refuse to give up.

Until a different voice went straight to the back from not far away.

"Whoosh-!"

First, the same arrow hit a similar position as before, and then a larger sharp blade pierced coldly through the chest from the back, stained with scorching blood, and nailed the person ruthlessly to the wall.

He Huang listened to the voice on the other end, his hands and feet stopped trembling.

how……

what happened?

He relied on the muscle memory he had survived for many years to react, and he didn't dare to delay for a second to disappear by the wall with the things in his arms.

At this moment, there was a scar from the knife point stabbing in the wall, and Jiang Ci's fingertips gradually stopped shaking, and finally no longer moved.

The knife finally broke away from the wall overwhelmed, and his body fell heavily to a warm and soft place.

The soldiers were ordered to pull apart the two corpses and pull out the knife and arrow from Jiang Ci's body.Then there was the female corpse, with five arrows standing high on the front chest, piercing deeply into the body.

With the movement of the arrow on the female corpse, several blood-stained bright red petals were pulled out.

A withered Clivia branch fell from the folded and tightly wrapped dress, drooping on the bright red ground that was constantly flowing.

Those were the last words that Jiang Yiqiong remembered when she subconsciously tried to block the flying arrows.

Someone picked off a Clivia, and handed it to him lightly but solemnly.

"This is my strength of character, my ambition, and I promise you a lifetime promise."

"So humble and uplifting, tenacious for a lifetime, and my wife... you can be proud of me for the rest of your life."

We haven't seen each other for a long time, my...

Oh...

He Huang didn't know how far he had run, and a weak and suppressed gasp was ripped apart from his throat.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his arms move.

"..."

Not out of curiosity, but mostly just to confirm the situation, He Huang wiped away the sweat-like traces on his face, and carefully opened along the joint from the colorful swaddle.

I saw a small and round finger first raised to my eyes, and then a plump face was revealed, sucking the thumb of the other little hand.

For some reason, after staring at He Huang's face for a while, the little guy suddenly started crying.

Unable to hide his panic, he reached out and touched it, judging the current weather, it is not enough to just wrap it up outside.

He Huang thought about it, biting his mouth, pulled out a piece of clothing from Jiang Ci's luggage, and covered the baby in an orderly manner.

"Well..."

After a while, the crying gradually subsided, as if she felt a familiar breath, she entered a warm dream.
