Chapter 119 Chapter 119 The most beautiful wind...
Zhang Jingxian was even more confused.
Her soul seemed to fly out of her body, looking down at the bright red blood splattering on her hands, face and the earlobe that had been kissed.
It was very hot, but she was completely unconscious.
She also lost her hearing, and all the noisy sounds left her at that moment. Why did Xie Yun say that she could live a good life from now on?
Her fingertips trembled, and she easily broke free from his restraints. A large area of red and the long sword piercing his chest came into view, and Zhang Jingxian's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xie Yun was still smiling, as if afraid of scaring her, and he nonchalantly drew out the sword. The next moment, he used all his terrifying strength to throw the assassin who was rushing towards him to the ground and pierced him with the sword.
"Shichiro!"
The sound from the distance should be Gong Chengyue's shouting, which shook the flying soul back into the body.
The heavy mountain fell down, and a red jade hairpin shattered in Zhang Jingxian's field of vision. She reached out in panic and caught the robe soaked with blood.
"Xie Yun?" She called his name softly.
No one answered her anymore. The mountains fell heavily on her. Xie Yun stared at her motionlessly with his deep black eyes, and deathly aura spread.
A cold feeling spread throughout Zhang Jingxian's body. She was on the verge of suffocation. She seemed to have just reacted, her eyes staring straight at the place where blood was still flowing.
It is the position of the heart.
A bloody hole appeared across Xie Yun's heart.
"Don't cry... You can't cry anymore, Wangbuliuxing... My dear, I have Wangbuliuxing." Tears as hot as blood fell one by one, and Zhang Jingxian seemed to be back to that desperate rainy day.
But she was free and still had strength, so she desperately searched for the medicine powder on her body, but it was useless. All the powder was poured on her body and instantly disappeared in her blood.
It couldn't be stopped, it couldn't be stopped at all, the red blood seemed to have to flow out before it would stop.
Zhang Jingxian finally broke down. Her shrill "no" and tears on her face startled Gong Chengyue who came to check. He had never seen this peasant girl so hysterical.
Most of the time, she is calm and composed.
But now, she trembled and carefully kissed the pair of black eyes that had not yet closed. The despair and sorrow on her face could even touch Gong Chengyue. She looked like she was about to break apart.
"No, don't die. Your life belongs to me. I want to take you back to Xishan Village. You have to go back with me. I can't go back alone. Xie Yun, I can't go back!"
This is a deep obsession. The peasant girl who cannot return to the mountains will still die silently along the old path of her previous life.
So, if he died, she would not be able to live well.
Xie Yun understood. He looked at this peasant girl who was so simple and clumsy even in expressing her love, and touched the small mole on the tip of her nose with his cold fingertips.
The black eyes slowly closed.
………
Beneath the Star-Picking Terrace, in a quiet house, a huge gilded copper furnace was burning with bluish-white smoke.
Hundreds of statues of gods and goddesses were hung behind Zhang Jingxian. She half lowered her head and indifferently hugged the man covered in blood. It was extremely strange that she vaguely matched one of the statues.
When Master Zhang saw this scene, his scalp went numb and the whisk in his hand fell to the ground again.
But what frightened him even more was the five thousand soldiers surrounding the Zhaixing Terrace. All five thousand of them were elite soldiers. If something really happened to Envoy Xie... it would be enough to start a massacre and massacre the entire Jiankang City!
"Prime Minister, please be clear-headed. Those who assassinated the envoy have nothing to do with us!"
Master Zhang looked away with difficulty and apologized to Prime Minister Xie and others on the other side of the room.
Xie Li, Xie Fujun, Shu Jian and others rushed over upon hearing the news, bringing with them almost all the doctors in the city. Several famous doctors took turns to diagnose Xie Yun's pulse and injuries, but the results were not satisfactory.
Although the long sword was blocked by something when it stabbed towards Envoy Xie's heart and did not penetrate his heart meridian, and fortunately, the holy medicine of Vaccaria was used in time to stop the bleeding, Envoy Xie was severely injured both physically and mentally, and whether he could wake up still depended on God's will.
Master Zhang came in when several famous doctors shook their heads in embarrassment. If medicine was not enough, there was still the mysterious way. The more Gong Cheng thought of him, the more he immediately ordered people to call him over.
"Stop talking nonsense, Master Zhang. Use all your life-saving methods. If Qilang dies today, do you and your hundreds of disciples think you can escape?"
Gong Chengyue threatened directly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Xie Li listened quietly without saying a word, and it was obvious that he meant the same thing.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhang glanced at the unconscious Xie Yun, and his gaze finally fell on Zhang Jingxian with scrutiny.
Zhang Jingxian was still wearing the Taoist robe he was familiar with. There were bloodstains on her face and eyelids, and her hair was scattered messily on her cheeks. At first glance, she looked very strange.
"Who is she?" Master Zhang swallowed and asked abruptly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Fujun immediately spoke up, "Master, she is Qilang's wife. She has the same surname as you, and her name is Ah Xian."
When she heard her own name, Zhang Jingxian did not react and still kept her head half lowered.
Immortal Master Zhang's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene he had witnessed on the steps. He paused, then steeled himself and made up a story, "Marriage is a destiny, and this lady should go back. If you survive, then Envoy Xie has a chance of survival."
The sooner they left Jiankang, the more likely they would be to blame him even if something unexpected happened.
As she was about to finish her words, Zhang Jingxian slowly raised her head. Her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, but her pair of red eyes were surprisingly bright.
Master Zhang didn't dare to look her in the eye, and took the opportunity to bend down and pick up the fallen whisk. There was no such thing as mysterious and profound. If the gods enshrined in the Star-Picking Platform were useful, he would have achieved enlightenment long ago.
"That's all I have to say. I, the old Taoist, have no other options."
"...Okay, let's go back together."
Zhang Jingxian lowered her head again and hugged the tall man tightly, her falling hair gently brushing against his sharp features.
Master Zhang and most of the doctors then left.
Xie Fujun looked at her seriously injured and unconscious brother, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness. She whispered to Gong Chengyue whether he had tracked down the person who assassinated Xie Yun.
Gong Chengyue nodded slightly and said frankly in front of Prime Minister Xie, "Their origins have been investigated. They are the assassins raised by the King of Donghai."
Xie Fujun couldn't help but get angry, gritting his teeth and saying, "It's him again, haunting us!"
The previous discord between brothers Xie Yun and Xie Ping was caused by the instigation of King Donghai, and she has always held a grudge against him.
"Uncle, Qilang is now seriously injured..." Xie Fujun raised his eyes to look at Prime Minister Xie, but was interrupted by him in the middle of his words.
"The King of Donghai will pay the price for this, but not now." Xie Li's face was calm as he explained lightly that Qilang had already violated a taboo by bringing 5,000 soldiers into Jiankang City. If he killed the King of Donghai openly, Jiankang City would inevitably be in chaos.
It would be better to wait until the storm is over and then quietly let the King of the East Sea "die suddenly" at home.
"No, Prime Minister," the woman who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke, "I don't care whether Jiankang City is in chaos or not, but I want the person who assassinated Xie Yun to die, and die immediately!"
The bluish-white smoke rose straight up, and the expression on half of her face was difficult to discern, but it clearly conveyed a fact to everyone.
She is Xie Yun's wife and the person most qualified to make the decision.
Xie Li was rarely speechless, and the anxious and angry Xie Fujun was also silent.
"Yes, you can command these five thousand soldiers." Xie Li looked at the ethereal smoke and smiled suddenly. "Go ahead. I was just obsessed."
He did his best to maintain the stability of the dynasty and guide the future of the Xie family, but he really had no right to ask a woman to give up revenge for her husband.
Xie Yun is not only his nephew, but also more than just a member of the Xie family.
Zhang Jingxian hummed, holding a few pieces of broken red jade in her palm, and her tone was cold.
That night, the Donghai Palace was tightly surrounded, and the entire Jiankang City was shaken, with no one daring to speak out.
Because a commoner who has never been involved with aristocratic families and royal families really doesn't care about these upper-class people. They only have one life and one head. In Zhang Jingxian's eyes, they are no different from wild boars and jackals.
When she stepped into the Palace of the Prince of Donghai, she was even dressed in a shabby commoner's outfit, and her shoes left blood marks on her feet.
Until his death, King Xiao Chongdao of the East China Sea never thought that his life would end at the hands of a lowly commoner, but he was smiling after drinking enough wine.
Successfully taking Xie Yun's life, he felt as if he had fulfilled a long-cherished wish and felt relaxed all over.
When Zhang Jingxian pulled the bowstring and aimed it at his throat, Xiao Chongdao's laughter became even more unbridled. He seemed to think that Xie Yun's short life was not much better than his.
"Ha, he looked down on me, but he died before me, and in the end, he had to have a lowly, lowly bastard seek revenge for him."
Xiao Chongdao's excitement was hard to suppress, and the strong smell of alcohol rushed straight to Zhang Jingxian's face.
She remained indifferent to the humiliation and only asked the noble King of Donghai a question in a low voice, "Do you know Ban Jiang?"
Ban Jiang, the former dancer, is said to have been trained by Xiao Chongdao.
After leaving Ying County, no one knew where she went, but it was likely that she lived a peaceful and prosperous life. She took away a lot of gold, silver and jade.
Xiao Chongdao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a vague figure gradually became clear with the name Ban Jiang. She was graceful and beautiful... She was someone he liked a little bit. He sneered, "A dancer, a little clever."
"Yes, she was very smart. Thanks to the red jade lotus hairpin she gave me, I was able to block it." Zhang Jingxian took out a piece of red jade, smiled, and told Xiao Chong word by word, "Xie Yun didn't die. He was able to escape the forest fire that time, and this time, the gods are secretly protecting him."
"King of the East Sea, tell me, is this God's will?"
God would not let Xie Yun die. Even if he sent assassins to kill him, another cause and effect from his life would protect Xie Yun from the disaster.
If he had not instigated Xie Yun's brother before and sent Ban Jiang to Ying County, he would probably have been able to truly pierce Xie Yun's heart this time.
After a lot of twists and turns, the spear and shield appeared in the hands of the King of Donghai at the same time.
Xiao Chongdao's heart was beating violently, and when he realized what Zhang Jingxian said, his face darkened even more.
The courtyard was completely silent. After a moment, he waved his hand fiercely at Zhang Jingxian with a distorted expression. In mid-air, a drunken body in gorgeous robes fell backwards.
Zhang Jingxian shot him to death with her own hands, and walked calmly in the blood.
On the same night, news of the death of the King of Donghai was received. The already old Grand Marshal Chao Liang fell ill on the bed due to a cold wind caused by drinking too much, and was unable to get up.
There were rumors that the King of Donghai had already placed people around the Grand Marshal.
With the death of the King of Donghai and illness of the Grand Marshal, the situation in Jiankang City was turbulent. Prime Minister Xie had to convene an emergency court meeting to stabilize the situation.
Fortunately, under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, the 5,000 terrified Northern Army began to withdraw from Jiankang City.
Four thousand were taken back to Changling by Gong Chengyue, and the remaining one thousand elite soldiers escorted Zhang Jingxian back to her hometown.
Zhang Rushan, Zheng Qi and others were naturally among the thousand people. Because they killed many Di people, they were rewarded and looked much more majestic than they did half a year ago.
But on the way back home, no one smiled. They couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the slowly moving carriage.
"Axian, the scenery here is great, let's get off and take a walk." When more than a thousand people arrived at a beautiful place, Zhang Rushan approached the carriage and said.
The carriage was followed by a maid and an attendant on both sides. They were A Luo, sent by Xie Yun's mother, Mrs. Ruan, and A Mao, who was beside Xie Li.
Hearing the sound, they all looked towards the carriage.
After a few moments, a car window was fully opened. Without their help, the slender woman forcefully placed the man, who was much taller than her, on a sedan chair.
It is said that it was made by a craftsman named Gongshu. The lady thought it was destroyed, but Mr. Gongcheng said that it was just thrown into a corner.
It is very suitable for you to sit on.
…
Zhang Jingxian pushed the sedan chair, carefully feeling the breeze and the fragrance of flowers. After walking for a while, she whispered, "Liar."
"You lied to me again. No wonder you chose to stop me at night. I couldn't see clearly."
No one answered her, but she didn't get angry. She felt a little distant from her cousins and kept muttering to herself.
"Because you refuted Prime Minister Xie and offended the emperor, the leaders in Jiankang City also dislike me. You must wake up soon, otherwise if they come to kill me, I will kill more people."
Zhang Jingxian's life changed completely. It became very common for her to talk about murder. Everyone said that Xie Yun was a lunatic, and she was not far behind.
She shot the Queen of Donghai to death with her own hands. If her reason had not awakened her, she would have almost committed more murders with 5,000 soldiers.
The Chao family, the Xiao family, the Xie family... If they hadn't been fighting with each other, Xie Yun would have grown up to be a true gentleman.
"Actually, I like you the way you are now, even the cruel and cold you... As long as you wake up, I'm willing to take back what I said."
After walking for a while, Zhang Jingxian stopped and spoke in a low voice.
On the sedan chair, Xie Yun's fingers moved slightly.
Half a month later, they approached the Yangshan Mountains.
Early that morning, when Zhang Jingxian stepped out of the carriage, she felt very different, as if there were several eyes in the dark watching her every move.
She asked her cousin and A Luo and others, and they all said there was nothing unusual.
But Zhang Jingxian's feelings became more and more obvious, so she put the chariot behind herself and silently gripped the bow and arrow.
Suddenly, a squeaking sound was heard.
A Luo and the others also became alert and stared at the place where the scream came from. In contrast, Zhang Jingxian seemed to remember something and her clear eyes widened.
Out of the dense grass jumped a black mountain cat, a red fox, and a yellow bird flew above their heads.
Zhang Jingxian's eyes welled up and she waved happily to her good friends.
Looking up another tree, a much-grown little monkey was nervously covering his furry butt.
She seemed to realize something and turned her head stiffly.
"Ah Xian, we are all back."
Xie Yun was looking at her with a smile on his face, and every thing he saw was the most beautiful scenery he had.
