Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Is he also reborn?
After bidding farewell to his father, Yin Jinglong rode away on his horse without looking back. Along the way, he recalled his childhood.
In fact, he was once loved by his father, but his father at that time had high hopes for his elder brother and often ignored him, which created a gap between father and son. Over time, the relationship between father and son became more and more distant, and the misunderstanding became deeper and deeper.
When he returned to the dilapidated temple, Hanyu was squatting in front of the temple gate waiting for his return. She hugged herself tightly and leaned against the tattered bronze door. She was obviously too sleepy to open her eyes, but she still forced her eyelids open and waited for him half asleep and half awake.
Yin Jinglong walked up to her and gently picked her up. She was not sleeping deeply and woke up at the slightest touch. She was extremely alert, thinking it was a bad guy and was about to take out a dagger to defend herself.
She opened her sleepy eyes and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yin Jinglong's face clearly.
Seeing a fast horse behind him, she couldn't help but applaud and said, "You are quite capable. You even managed to get a horse from the enemy. But now their troops are everywhere. Where can we escape to?"
Yin Jinglong learned from his father that his brother had issued an imperial decree to massacre the tomb-guarding clan, and his troops were already heading towards Yulong Snow Mountain.
He didn't dare tell Hanyu the news, but just told her not to worry for the time being, to have a good rest tonight, and to continue her journey tomorrow morning.
That night, Hanyu dreamed of the scene from her previous life again, but this time she saw that the person who raised the sword and chopped off her father's head was Ajiang. Hanyu was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and woke up from the dream screaming.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in Yin Jinglong's arms. No wonder she felt warm while sleeping in such a cold day.
He opened his sleepy eyes, looked down at the startled person in his arms, and murmured, "Are you having a nightmare again?"
Hanyu nodded and said that she dreamed that her father's head was chopped off, but she did not mention that the person holding the sword in the dream this time was Ajiang.
Yin Jinglong hugged her tighter, his face pressed against her hair, and he softly comforted her, "Dreams are all fake. Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to your father or the people in your tribe."
"Do you believe in past lives?"
Hanyu looked up, and her pair of affectionate almond-shaped eyes happened to meet his eyes full of amorous glances.
She thought Yin Jinglong would definitely laugh at her naivety and ridicule her stupidity.
But he nodded and said, "I believe it, so I won't let the tragedy of my previous life happen again. I won't let Yin Jingheng use my identity to slaughter your people and then kill your father in front of you. I also won't let you bear a grudge against me because of a misunderstanding in your previous life, and finally commit suicide because you mistakenly think you killed the wrong person."
Hanyu was stunned for a long while. When their eyes met, she seemed to understand everything. She understood why Yin Jinglong in this life was different from the one in her memory of her previous life, and she also understood why things did not develop like last time.
It turns out that she is not the only one who has been reborn.
"You too? When did you come back?"
She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of her, wanting to know from him when he was reborn? And when did he know about her rebirth?
Yin Jinglong sighed, "Since the day we first met in the snowy mountains, I have returned and recognized you."
"Since you remember all the memories of your past life, why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?"
"Because from the day I came back, everything changed. It no longer follows the trajectory of my previous life. So I began to be unsure of what would happen in the future, and even more unsure whether you would forgive me!"
Hanyu smiled bitterly and muttered to herself, "Yes! Everything has indeed changed. From the day she came back, she began to face an unknown future and a strange husband. Now she can no longer see the people around her clearly."
What was the truth? What was the reality? She couldn't tell.
Yin Jinglong told her that perhaps they were not the only two coming back.
Hanyu's eyes were filled with shock. She and Yin Jinglong were surprisingly thinking the same thing. Could it be that Ah Jiang had also been reborn? And what did he mean by 'mistakenly thinking he'd killed the wrong person'?
Yin Jinglong didn't want to mention the grudges of his previous life, but Hanyu's questioning made him fall into the memories of his previous life again.
He asked, "Don't you think the man who massacred your people in the snowy mountains in your previous life is different from me?"
The first time he met Hanyu in his previous life was the day when he led his army to climb the Yulong Snow Mountain. He never expected to meet Yin Jingheng, who had been missing for three years, at the foot of the mountain.
At that time, Yin Jingheng was wearing a red wedding dress and was rushing down the mountain in a hurry. He happened to run into the army going up the mountain.
"Why is my brother here?"
Before Yin Jingheng could answer a word, he suddenly fainted in the snow. Yin Jinglong had no choice but to set up camp on the spot and settle his unconscious brother in the tent.
At that time, Li Yu checked his breath and found that his whole body was cold and his breath was weak. He didn't know whether he was injured.
Yin Jinglong had a worried look on his face, and looked at his brother who had suddenly appeared at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and the red wedding dress he was wearing, in confusion.
"Who is my brother marrying? Why did he run away on his wedding night and then faint in the snow?"
He stayed with his brother all night with doubts in his mind, and fell asleep without knowing when. He slept extremely deeply that night, so when he woke up the next day, there was no one inside or outside the tent, only him lying in the tent. And he didn't know why he had changed into his brother's red wedding dress?
By the time he realized that his identity had been swapped, his brother had already disguised himself as him and led his men into the Snow Mountain Tomb Guarding Tribe.
He smelled a faint herbal scent on the wedding dress. When he got closer to it, he felt dizzy and tired again. He realized that there was a drug on the clothes, so he quickly took it off.
The reunion at the foot of the snowy mountain, the fainting in the snow, and the red wedding dress, he understood that all of this was a conspiracy by his brother, all to use him to exchange identities, so that he could lead the troops to massacre the tomb-guarding clan and seize the statue.
He sighed, thinking that after not seeing his brother for three years, his brother seemed to have become even more cruel than before. He shouldn't have been so careless against him just because he was his brother, which gave him the opportunity to drug him.
Just before his brother came down the mountain after slaughtering the tomb-guarding tribe, Yin Jinglong set a trap in advance to lure his brother into the game.
He first pretended to be unconscious, and when his brother returned to the tent, he took the opportunity to knock him unconscious, and their identities were reversed.
After the body transformation, Yin Jinglong ordered Li Yu to tie up his unconscious brother and bring him back to the capital.
Li Yu was puzzled at the time, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just said, "Your Majesty, I seem to smell blood on General Heng. Could he be injured? Should we treat his injuries before returning to the capital?"
"No need. I've already examined him. It's just a minor wound. Brother has fought on the battlefield for many years, so this minor injury won't be a problem. Now that we have the statue, let's return to the capital as planned."
"But, my lord, what are you going to do with the woman you brought back?"
What woman?
When Yin Jinglong walked out of the tent, he saw a fainted Snow Mountain woman tied to the horse's back. She was also wearing a red wedding dress that matched her brother's.
He guessed that the woman's identity was most likely the one who married his brother on the snowy mountain. In that case, shouldn't he respectfully call her "sister-in-law"?
At this time, the brother in the tent had woken up, but his limbs were tied up and he was lying in the tent unable to move.
When he saw Yin Jinglong coming, there was no regret in his bloodshot eyes, and he didn't even think about explaining anything.
"Brother, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Now that things have come to this, I have no need to say anything more. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."
His brother's fearless look made him really unhappy, and made Yin Jinglong feel as if he was the instigator of all this?
He was clearly a victim, and was inexplicably drugged and had his identity changed. Now he was charged with the crime of murder and slaughtering an entire clan. His brother owed him an explanation, but now it seemed as if his brother was forced to do this?
He repeatedly questioned his brother why he did this. If he wanted to slaughter all the tomb-guarding people, why did he spare the life of the woman on horseback?
"That woman from the snowy mountains is your brother's new wife, right? I wonder if she will still be willing to be with you after she wakes up and discovers her people have been slaughtered by her beloved husband?"
Yin Jingheng just sneered and remained silent. He simply closed his eyes and pretended to know nothing, waiting for Hanyu to come in and identify the criminal.
Sure enough, after Hanyu woke up, her first reaction was to find a knife to kill Yin Jinglong.
Yin Jinglong looked displeased. Although he had no connection with this woman and it would be easy to kill her, he was not a person who killed innocent people after all. Killing Hanyu would be meaningless to him and might even play into his brother's hands.
"You devil, return my husband to me! Return the lives of my father and my people! I want revenge for my father and my people!"
Hanyu picked up a broken sword from somewhere and stabbed Yin Jinglong.
Yin Jinglong dodged her attack by simply turning sideways, but she seemed to be greatly shocked, crying and chasing him like a madman.
He had no choice but to let Li Yu continue to knock her out and take her back to the palace to lock her up.
On the way back to the palace, Hanyu woke up several times. Every time she woke up, her first words were "Give Ajiang back to me!"
Yin Jinglong sneered, "Your A Jiang is the murderer who massacred your people. Do you still want to see her? I'm afraid your life will be destroyed by her one day."
"You are slandering me! You kidnapped A Jiang and killed my people, and now you want to put the blame on others? You cruel dog prince, I will kill you one day!"
A weak woman kept talking about killing him for revenge. She couldn't even recognize her own lover, and she still wanted to kill him for revenge? It was ridiculous.
After returning to the palace in the capital, Yin Jinglong imprisoned Hanyu in the dungeon of the palace. On the way back to Beijing, his brother Yin Jingheng fell into a coma again for some reason. This time he was not pretending to be unconscious, but was really unconscious.
He asked the imperial physician to take his pulse. The imperial physician said that his brother's meridians were damaged and his martial arts skills were all lost. The reason he committed murder was probably because he could not accept that he had become disabled and had gone insane.
Yin Jinglong didn't believe that his brother killed people because he was crazy. Judging from the fact that he had carefully planned to exchange identities after the reunion, he was not crazy, but even more scheming and cunning than before.
So he ordered someone to make an ice coffin tailor-made for his brother, and then let Hanyu watch with her own eyes as he put her beloved husband into the ice coffin.
Hanyu has always regarded him as the murderer of her clan. In her previous life, she was imprisoned in a dungeon by Yin Jinglong and suffered. Her hatred for Yin Jinglong grew deeper and deeper.
