Chapter 140: Saving the Blackened Tyrant 3

Seeing the little eunuch in front of him who looked like a black coal ball suddenly burst into tears, Xiao Jiyun frowned. The tears in Xing Jian's eyes rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground. Before Xing Jian could speak, someone from the group of eunuchs and palace maids standing behind Xiao Jiyun spoke.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is a young eunuch who used to serve in the Eastern Palace. One winter day, the Crown Princess made him jump into the lake to retrieve a kite. He caught a cold and ran a high fever for several days, becoming an idiot. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Xing Jian looked at the eunuch who suddenly appeared. That person was the old eunuch who said he wanted to take off his cotton coat when he just woke up that day.

Unexpectedly, someone would show up to help him. For a moment, Xing Jian could only follow the old eunuch's words, pretend to be a fool, wipe the tears from his face, and start to smile foolishly again.

He laughed twice, then ran towards the small hole he had just crawled into. Seeing Xiao Jiyun following him, he stood in the same place and pointed at the small hole with his dark finger.

Although the fool's behavior was stupid, Xiao Jiyun understood that the fool was telling him that he had just crawled in through the hole in front of him.

Looking at the extremely familiar small hole in front of him, Xiao Jiyun bent down and touched the small hole with some marks. With his current height, he could no longer get out of this small hole.

He still remembered the countless nights when they had crawled through the small hole, holding stolen red plums in their hands. He could not remember what the red plums looked like, but he remembered that the person holding the red plums had a face as warm as the red plums.

"Okay, since he is a fool, I will not punish him. I will ask someone to teach this little fool some palace etiquette. If he can't learn it, he will be beaten to death and sent to a mass grave." Xiao Jiyun didn't look at the little eunuch at all. He stared at the small hole in front of him in a daze.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will teach little Xingzi well." The old eunuch pinched Xingjian secretly. Xingjian's tears welled up again and she knelt on the ground like the old eunuch.

"Little Xingzi?" Xiao Jiyun looked at Xingjian with scrutiny after hearing the old eunuch's words. "Raise your head."

The latter sentence was said to Xingjian. Since he was pretending to be stupid, Xingjian pretended to be stupid thoroughly. He was pinched by the old eunuch again. Xingjian raised his head slowly. His face was already covered with dust from drilling the hole, and the blood of the palace maid just dripped onto his face.

At this moment, Xingjian's face was black and red, and because of the tears, it was mixed into a mess, making it difficult to tell what he looked like.

Looking at Xing Jian's dirty face, Xiao Jiyun felt that he was simply crazy. He actually wanted to find the shadow of Xiao Xing in this fool. He waved his sleeves and turned around, no longer paying attention to the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and left the imperial garden with some palace maids and eunuchs.

For a long time, Xingjian did not raise his head again, until their voices completely disappeared. The old eunuch muttered in his ear for a long time, and Xingjian raised his head, tears streaming down his face.

This time, Xingjian did not crawl out of the small hole. He walked all the way with tears in his eyes. The palace maids and eunuchs passing by hid far away when they saw Xingjian's appearance. It was not that they disliked him, but Xingjian's appearance was really too scary.

After returning to the small courtyard, Xing Jian lay beside the basin and looked at the black and red spots on his face. He felt a little disgusted. He quickly drew well water and washed it several times before his original appearance was revealed.

Xing Jian knew that after he was possessed, the appearance of this little eunuch would gradually become more and more like his original appearance. Now his appearance was already three-quarters similar to his original appearance. If he had revealed his true appearance in the imperial garden just now, he might have died at the hands of Xiao Jiyun.

Looking at Xingjian's swollen eyes, 004 quietly walked out, his voice full of self-blame: "Master Xingjian blames me. If I hadn't provided false information, you wouldn't have died and could have recognized the villain."

Perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long, 004 burst into tears after he finished speaking. It was the first time that Xingjian saw 004 lose control. He hugged 004 in his arms like coaxing a child, "Little 4, this is not your fault. I was too careless. But now that we are back, there must be a way to complete the mission."

In this ancient small world, this is the eighteenth year that Xingjian has entered. Unlike the previous small world missions, this time when Xingjian traveled through, he was still a baby in swaddling clothes. From a tiny baby to gradually growing up and then to death, Xingjian has lived his entire life.

A short but brilliant life.

He and Xiao Jiyun knew each other when they were young. They promised to retire to the mountains with him and give up all the glory and wealth after the prince ascended the throne.

But later he broke his promise. What he brought back from the northwest frontier was only Xingjian's body, but not the person he had promised.

Xing Jian was ordered by the late emperor to suppress the rebellion of the Hu people in the northwest. Xiao Jiyun hid among the soldiers and went with him. There were many princes in the palace, and the sudden disappearance of an inconspicuous prince like Xiao Jiyun would not attract anyone's attention. They gained true freedom in the northwest.

They did all kinds of ridiculous things on horseback, in the wilderness, and in the tent. Xingjian still remembered Xiao Jiyun's charming eyes under the flickering candlelight. Those blue eyes almost sucked his soul in, making him not want to leave him again.

He remembered how sweet they were in the month before he left. Only on that day, the day when the accident happened, he and Xiao Jiyun had a big fight. Xingjian was a little confused about what they were fighting about. He remembered that he wanted to attack the Hu tribe camp directly but was stopped by Xiao Jiyun, who said he was too reckless.

Xing Jian was so angry that he rode his horse out to relax. He didn't see the emotions surging in Xiao Jiyun's blue eyes.

But this time, Xingjian had an accident.

He just wanted to go out for a horse ride to relax, and he didn't even wear armor. He saw a woman washing clothes with her child by the river. Suddenly, the child fell into the water. Xingjian got off his horse without thinking and jumped into the water to pull the child out.

The moment he handed the child to the woman, he saw a silver light suddenly piercing towards him. In a trance, Xingjian saw that the woman also had a pair of blue eyes.

The river water was particularly cold in winter, and Xing Jian's blood was constantly washed away by the river water, staining the entire area red.

Xing Jian never thought that he would leave this world so early. They had clearly agreed that after this battle, they would retire to the mountains together after the prince ascended the throne. Before his consciousness completely dissipated, the only thing left in Xing Jian's mind was Xiao Jiyun's face.

Xingjian had been riding for a whole day and had not returned. Everyone was in a panic. Xiao Jiyun's heart was beating particularly fast. He rode his horse and followed the places where Xingjian liked to take a walk, but he still didn't see the familiar figure.
