Mountains and rivers hand in hand, smile for you

Shang Ji came to Jiangnan alone, and it was still the other courtyard, but things have changed.

Shang Ji was in a daze in the yard, looking at the recliner where Jing Huan had slept in the day before he left, his eyes blurred unknowingly.

The sound behind him awakened Shang Ji, who stabilized his mind and turned around.

"Who?" Standing in front of him were four people dressed in black. With Shang Ji's many years of skill, these four people's martial arts were unfathomable.

All four of them knelt down on their knees and shouted in unison: "I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Shang Ji was taken aback: "Who are you?"

When he saw the familiar signs hanging on the waists of the four of them, Shang Ji was in a daze: "Are you from Jing Huan?"

Shang Ji recognized them as the four people in the southeast, north and west that Jing Huan had mentioned.

"Yes, may I ask the emperor, where is Mr. Jing?"

All four of them completed the task very well, but when they came back to report, they only saw the emperor alone, and there was no sign of Jing Huan around. Where did Lord Jing go?

Jing Huan he...

"He's in the palace, what's the matter with you, tell me."

"But..." The four hesitated.

"Jing Huan called me here."

The four of them were all shocked, Lord Jing could still let the emperor wait obediently here, this Lord Jing really has a lot of face.

"Back to the emperor, please be sure to tell Mr. Jing that we have done everything he asked us to do, so he can rest assured." Dong Gongshou said.

"Speak carefully."

"Yes, Yan Ling lives well in Baili City, and her life is not in danger." The four of them tacitly ignored Jing Huan's request for them to find Yan Chu.

Shang Ji nodded slowly.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what orders does Master Jing have?" Dong asked.

"He...he asked you to leave and live a good life."

The four of them were taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly.

"Then please tell Lord Jing that we will pledge our allegiance to the death and never leave."

Shang Ji was taken aback, why was everyone around Jing Huan like this, but he was the only one who kept hurting him?

The four of them left without saying anything. They are not enough now, not enough to rescue Yan Chu, not enough to protect Jing Huan.

In a secret dungeon, Yan Chu's limbs were bound, his hair was disheveled, and his face was pale.

Shang Ji looked at the man in front of him coldly.

"Shang Ji, what are you doing here? To see if I'm dead?" Yan Chu sneered, "Don't worry, I won't die until the day you die."

"Come here!" Shang Ji ordered coldly, "Let him go!"

Yan Chu was taken aback, and let the guards around him untie him.

"You go."

"Why did you let me go suddenly?" Yan Chu's heart skipped a beat, "Did something happen to Jing Huan?!"

Shang Ji was taken aback, why did even Yan Chu know Jing Huan so well?

"He's fine."

"All right? Where is he then? I want to see him!"

"Chu Yanchu, you don't want to toast or eat fine wine." Shang Ji said coldly.

"Hmph!" Yan Chu sneered, "Even if it's poison, I can still eat wine. I want to see Jing Huan."

"I won't let you see him!" Shang Ji turned around and wanted to leave.

"Shang Ji!" Yan Chu stopped him, "Jing Huan, is he alright?"

Shang Ji was startled, his body stiffened instantly.

Yan Chu had never seen Shang Ji in such a state of despair, and the uneasiness in his heart intensified.

"What happened to Jing Huan?"

"He... had an accident."

The uneasiness in his heart became a reality, and Yan Chu was a little dazed.

"What's wrong? What happened to him!" Yan Chu excitedly grabbed Shang Ji's clothes and asked fiercely.

Shang Ji let him grab his clothes and didn't shake them off, he said in a daze, "He's dead, disappeared, disappeared."

"You said, he's dead?" Yan Chu shook his body, let go of Shang Ji and sat on the ground, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"How did he die?" Yan Chu asked in a daze.

"I killed him."

"It's you again? It's always you who hurt Jing Huan! Why did you kill him!" Yan Chu grabbed Shang Ji's clothes like a beast and punched him.

The guards around were trying to execute Yan Chu on the spot, but were stopped by Shang Ji.

"Let him fight! It's my fault."

"Hit you? Hitting you can solve everything? Do you know? I really want to kill you!" Yan Chu said with red eyes.

"I will accompany him."

This time, Yan Chu was stunned. Did Shang Ji mean that he wanted to accompany Jing Huan to die?Seeing Shang Ji's unprecedented pale face, Yan Chu became quiet.

"He won't want you dead." Yan Chu said coldly, "You are the one he wants to protect with all his might."

Shang Ji was stunned, his eyes were glazed, and the feeling of heartache was overwhelming, Jing Huan, Jing Huan, Huan'er...

How can you protect me without you?

"Shang Ji, live well, you should spend your whole life paying homage to Jing Huan!" You should be in pain for the rest of your life.

Yan Chu walked around the stiff Shang Ji in front of him, and walked out of the dungeon without looking back.
