Chapter 103 Why are you crying? "Will I die in such an ugly way?" ...
The mountains and forests in the early morning were filled with an lingering mist, and an austere atmosphere was everywhere.
Lei Yuanjie asked her to go to the meeting alone. Luo Wanwan had already experienced this man's methods in her previous life.
He has never been a man who cares about the moral code of the martial arts world, otherwise he would not use poison in a competition.
Luo Wan couldn't be so naive as to come here alone, as the assassins from Tingyu Tower were hiding not far away.
The dead leaves made a crisp crackling sound under my feet, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent forest.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed past from behind Luo Wan. Before he could leave, Luo Wan quickly caught up with him, and the two exchanged several moves while chasing each other.
The palms collided and exploded with a "bang", and both of them took a few steps back.
Luo Wan recognized that the tall, bearded man was Lei Yuanjie.
Lei Yuanjie glanced down at his palm and gave a meaningful smile: "The new owner of Tingyu Tower is truly extraordinary."
Even if her internal strength was only 80% of what it was at its peak, Luo Wan still had an 80% chance of winning against Lei Yuanjie in a one-on-one duel. What's more, she had already taken the pill and was not afraid of Lei Yuanjie using the same trick again.
Luo Wan sarcastically said, "From the day you ascended to the position of Tower Master, you should have known that sooner or later you would be replaced. This is the rule of Tingyu Tower. When Sha Yan was alive, you didn't plan a way out for her. Now that she's dead, you're pretending to be deeply affectionate."
Lei Yuanjie said in a playful tone: "You actually know all this."
"You and Sha Yan have been at odds on the surface, fighting openly and covertly for years. Even if you were evenly matched, there should be a winner, but there's still no conclusion. Are you addicted to pretending to be enemies?"
Luo Wan crossed his arms. "But I understand. In the martial arts world, a pair of enemies is always safer than a pair of lovers. Isn't that what you're afraid of?"
The Jianghu is full of factions, and while many heroes can coexist, if the existence of two leaders colluding would become known, the other factions would be wary. To prevent one from becoming dominant, they would unite to eliminate it.
This is the fundamental reason why Sha Yan and Lei Yuanjie dare not make their relationship public.
To be honest, neither of them is willing to give up their respected position for the other; to be hypocritical, Lei Yuanjie will avenge Sha Yan.
The smile on Lei Yuanjie's lips gradually fell. He was very dissatisfied with the filthiness of his heart being exposed. He said coldly: "You know too much."
After saying that, he swung his fist and rushed towards Luo Wan.
In this life, this was the first time that Lei Yuanjie fought with her, but in Luo Wan's memory, it was not the first time she fought with Lei Yuanjie.
Soon, Luo Wan gained the upper hand, kicked him in the shoulder, and kicked him hard against the tree trunk.
Lei Yuanjie's eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape, his back hit the tree heavily, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"What great skills!" Bei Ye Ji walked out from the depths of the forest pulling an iron chain, with the other end of the chain tightly bound to Jiang Yuanan's hands.
Luo Wan frowned imperceptibly.
"Chi Wanwan, you're quite loyal. You actually showed up." Bei Yeji smiled sinisterly. "Oh no, I should have called you Luo Wan. But why didn't your lover come with you?"
Luo Wan smiled faintly: "Which one are you referring to?"
"Of course it's the one who stood up for you and single-handedly challenged over a hundred of my masters..." Bei Yeji saw the smile in her eyes fade, and suddenly said, "You must know, right? Jiang Cichen killed people that day and shed blood like a river. He was so majestic."
Bei Yeji grabbed Jiang Yuanan's chin, forcing her to face Luo Wan. "I also want to thank my good concubine, your good sister. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known so easily that you were by Jiang Cichen's side. Infecting you with the plague was just one of his moves to force him to fight. It's a pity that he actually had a backup plan. Even Gu Zhuohan died under his sword. Thinking about it now, it hurts."
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Wan suddenly remembered the plague in Yangzhou. When she woke up, she saw Jiang Cichen guarding her bedside. She thought he had just temporarily withdrawn from the war with the Northern Kingdom.
When Jiang Cichen told her about Gu Zhuohan's death, his expression was indifferent. Luo Wan didn't care how Gu Zhuohan died, so she just passed the matter by.
She never expected that such a thing would happen.
Luo Wan looked at Jiang Yuanan: "Did you tell Bei Yeji?"
Jiang Yuanan shook his head frantically, his cheeks reddened from being pinched, tears streaming down his cheeks. He trembled and said, "I didn't mean it! My brother said that Jiang Cichen refused the marriage because of a woman from Jianghu. When I'm with him, I can only think of you. I just want to know, is it you..."
"It's her, who else could it be?" Bei Yeji's smile widened, with a hint of madness. "She probably never told you that Jiang Cichen had a brief affair with her when he was in the capital. Back then, your sister Luo killed her clan members in the capital, and it was Jiang Cichen who let her go out of personal favor."
Luo Wan said calmly, "Yuan'an, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the truth is not what Bei Yeji said. Jiang Cichen and I didn't have a close relationship in the capital, and the rumors of a fleeting romance are nonsense."
"He blocked the sword for you because we weren't close friends? He let you go out of favoritism because we weren't close friends? You stood on his side because we weren't close friends?" Bei Yeji sneered, "Do you dare to say that Jiang Cichen doesn't love you, or that you don't love Jiang Cichen?"
Luo Wan's eyes darkened.
During the days when she was a concubine in the imperial palace in the capital, Jiang Yuanan was brainwashed by Bei Yeji all the time. Now that Luo Wan remained silent, she tacitly accepted the matter in her heart.
Jiang Yuanan's voice trembled: "Sister Luo, you clearly know that I like him."
Bei Yeji leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yuan'an, since you can't win Jiang Cichen's heart, you can't force others to win it, right? He will never love you in this life anyway. He only has Luo Wan in his heart. Maybe when he dies, you can stay with his corpse forever."
Luo Wan frowned. Bei Yeji was getting more and more crazy as he spoke.
"If you want to use me to lure Jiang Cichen out, forget it." Luo Wan said coldly, "He and I parted ways a long time ago. Otherwise, it shouldn't be me who's here now, but the Yun Kingdom Yulin Army."
Bei Yeji raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "If he catches you, he will appear naturally."
Lei Yuanjie leaped forward to attack, and Luo Wan blocked it with his wrist. Seeing this, Bei Yeji tied Jiang Yuanan to a tree and then joined the battle.
Although Beiye Ji's martial arts skills were not considered top-notch in the capital, he was not a coward either. However, if compared with the ruthless martial artists, he was far behind, and he was soon forced out of the fight.
Beiye Ji gasped: "Where are your people?!"
Lei Yuanjie untied his moves with his right hand, and a bamboo whistle slipped out from his left sleeve. Just as he was about to blow it, a feather arrow flew through the air and pierced his left shoulder with precision. Lei Yuanjie let go of the whistle in pain, and it fell to the ground.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in black standing on a treetop in the distance. The morning light filtered through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on his body, making his handsome face look even more dignified and lazy.
Bei Yeji gnashed his teeth and said word by word: "Jiang Cichen!"
A whistle drew everyone's attention to the other side. Before they saw anyone, an arrow shot straight into Beiye Ji's chest from that side.
Yes, thank you.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Yuanjie endured the severe pain and went to pick up the bamboo whistle. Jiang Cichen drew his bow and arrow, and the arrow accurately pierced the back of his hand.
He seemed not to feel the pain. He bent down and stretched out his other hand to pick it up again, but Luo Wan kicked him hard in the chin, and he fell backwards to the ground.
Xie Yan jumped down from the tree, picked up the bamboo whistle, put it to his lips and blew it. Immediately, a shrill whistle pierced through the mountains and forests.
“…”
Nothing happened.
Xie Yan teased, "I thought it had some kind of magic. It's a life-or-death situation, and you're still whistling for fun?"
As he said this, he threw the bamboo whistle back in front of Lei Yuanjie.
Beiye Ji reacted immediately, and all the people they arranged were dealt with quietly.
He gritted his teeth, pulled out the arrow from his chest, and pulled Jiang Yuanan in front of him, with the tip of the arrow pointing directly at her throat.
They came here to kill Beiye Ji, but now they are faced with the situation where Beiye Ji is holding Jiang Yuanan hostage.
Luo Wan subconsciously turned around to look at the person in the distance and met his gaze. Jiang Ci Chen's eyes were on her. He seemed not to expect her to turn around suddenly. He paused and looked at Bei Ye Ji as if nothing had happened.
Luo Wan didn't want to get involved in their feud with Bei Yeji any more, so he tied up Lei Yuanjie with the hemp rope he brought with him and said, "I'll take Lei Yuanjie away, Bei Yeji, you can do whatever you want."
Just after taking a few steps, I felt a gust of wind passing by. Behind me, I heard the sound of Jiang Cichen landing on the ground, and his cynical tone: "A Yan, what do you think is the best way for them to die together?"
Luo Wan paused.
Xie Yan touched his chin and said, "Just do it as cruelly as you can!"
"Fry them in a frying pan, then hang them on the gates of the capital to dry?"
"You have to fry it alive, so that it will look unique."
Luo Wan couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted them: "No matter how you deal with Bei Yeji, he deserves it. Although Jiang Yuanan is his concubine, she has never done anything to harm you. Even if she dies, it shouldn't be like this."
When she entered the capital city yesterday, she heard that Jiang Cichen had burned down Princess Kunyi's mansion. Kunyi had killed his parents and ended up like this. She thought Jiang Cichen would release Jiang Yuanan, but he and Xie Yan were discussing how to put him in a frying pan.
However, the most panicked person at the moment was Bei Ye Ji. His hand holding the arrow was shaking slightly. He expected that he could easily capture Luo Wan, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ci Chen would find out his whereabouts so quickly and get rid of all his remaining subordinates.
He almost whispered into Jiang Yuanan's ear: "Did you hear that? The person you're obsessed with wants to kill you. This is your last chance."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Xie Yan reached out and pushed Bei Yeji's head away. "What are you doing? What are you doing? In broad daylight!"
Jiang Yuanan's eyes were red and he looked at Jiang Cichen in disbelief.
Jiang Cichen was not moved by her pitiful appearance. He said to Luo Wan leisurely, "Then what do you think should be done, Miss Luo?"
Luo Wan was speechless for a moment. If she was forced to arrange an ending for Jiang Yuanan, she couldn't do it.
She had no right to persuade Jiang Cichen to release Jiang Yuanan. It was an indisputable fact that Jiang Yuanan and Bei Yeji conspired to cause the plague in Yangzhou.
Just at this moment, the shadows of the trees high above moved, and two figures suddenly fell from between the branches and leaves.
Luo Wan looked closely and saw Qingyun and a strange man.
Before he had time to think about why Qingyun was here, the strange man suddenly turned to Luo Wan and three silver needles flew out of the air.
The silver needle came slowly, and Luo Wan could easily avoid it, which showed that the man's martial arts skills were mediocre.
Suddenly, a figure stood in front of Luo Wan. From this angle, she could only see his well-defined jaw.
Jiang Cichen put his arm around her waist and led her to avoid the silver needles.
"See..." Beiye Ji raised his hands with Jiang Yuanan, "It's now."
Just as Luo Wan and Jiang Cichen landed on the ground, a short arrow shot towards Jiang Cichen without warning!
Xie Yan didn't expect Jiang Yuanan to attack Jiang Cichen, and hurriedly kicked Jiang Yuanan's wrist, but the short arrow had already been shot out.
Jiang Ci Chen frowned and stopped the short arrow with his hand, and blood immediately gushed out from his palm.
Bei Ye Ji laughed out loud and turned to escape, but was hit in the knee by a short arrow thrown back by Jiang Ci Chen. He staggered to the ground and was unable to get up.
Bright red blood beads kept dripping from between Jiang Cichen's fingers, drop after drop falling on the dead leaves.
Luo Wan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly pried open his palm to check, only to see that the area around the wound had turned black.
Absolute Crow.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuanan smiled slowly, turned the sleeve arrow around and aimed it at his throat. The mechanism made a slight sound, and the short arrow sank into his throat, and blood gushed out!
Luo Wan had no time to care about anyone. She only knew that Jiang Cichen was going to die. Moisture quickly filled her eyes and a tear fell unexpectedly.
This was the first time Jiang Cichen saw her cry. He smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you crying?"
"Don't die... Don't die..." Luo Wan's voice and fingertips were trembling, "Please don't die, okay?"
She could accept being separated from each other, but she could never accept Jiang Cichen leaving her in this way.
Jiang Cichen shouldn't have ended up like this.
Xie Yan picked up the paralyzed Bei Yeji and threw him in front of Jiang Cichen, shouting, "Where's the antidote?!"
All the short arrows penetrated Beiye Ji's knees, and he was poisoned even more deeply. He was now in a state of convulsions and could not utter a word.
"The poison of the Jue Ya is incurable." Lei Yuanjie said with a sinister smile, "Let me show you how it feels to lose someone you love!"
Xie Yan kicked Lei Yuanjie hard in the face and cursed, "Bullshit!"
The strange man had already been subdued by Qingyun and was tied up with Lei Yuanjie back to back.
Xie Yan kicked both of them to the ground at the same time.
Jiang Cichen stared at Luo Wan, ignoring the fact that he had no antidote, and confirmed with her: "He said I am your beloved."
"I do love you..." Luo Wan admitted with a choked sob, "and I only like you. You are the only one who has always stood firmly by my side."
He showed favoritism for her, fought alone for her, and disobeyed the emperor's orders for her.
Jiang Cichen felt a little aggrieved: "You love me, why do you want to leave me?"
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'm so self-righteous. I never asked for your opinion or your choice. I always force my ideas on you, which is very unfair to you. I also... always regret it along the way of trial and error."
Jiang Cichen wiped away her tears, glanced at the twitching Bei Yeji, and said dissatisfiedly: "Will I die so ugly?"
Luo Wan held his face and told him firmly, "No, you won't die."
Jiang Cichen rested his forehead against hers and said softly, "If the poison takes effect, don't look at me. It will be very ugly."
Hearing the word "poison attack", Luo Wan suddenly came back to his senses: "Qingyun! Qingyun!"
Qingyun came over immediately: "Owner."
Luo Wan tightly grasped his sleeve and lowered his head: "Save him, save him..."
The process of waiting for death is far more despairing than death itself.
She didn't want Jiang Cichen to die.
Between the grudge between her and Lei Yuanjie, and the entanglement between Qingyun and her junior brother, Jiang Cichen is the most innocent.
He shouldn't have ended up like this.
Qingyun took out a white jade medicine bottle, uncorked it, poured out a brown pill, and fed it into Jiang Cichen's mouth.
"This medicine can delay the onset of the poison." Qingyun said in a deep voice, "But OP, I've said before that there's no antidote for this poison."
At this moment, the bound stranger suddenly sneered, "Brother, your medical skills are unworthy of inheriting Master's legacy. You can't even detoxify the poison I concocted. The old man must be senile and confused to have passed on all his life's knowledge to you alone."
"My talent is not as good as yours." Qingyun looked at him calmly, "But after all these years, you still don't understand that there is a huge gap between medical skills and poison skills. What Master wanted to pass on was always only medical skills."
"So it was you who made the poison." Xie Yan stepped on the man's face and crushed it several times. "I don't care about the grudges between you two brothers. Since you think your brother's talent is inferior to yours, where is your antidote?"
The man at Xie Yan's feet chuckled vaguely, "Didn't you hear what my senior brother said? This poison has no antidote. You're just testing potions for me and my senior brother to spar with... Senior brother, even if you hid in Tingyu Tower, you still lost to me!"
Xie Yan squeezed out the words one by one: "I will kill you right now, believe it or not?!"
Luo Wan slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "There is an antidote in Miaojiang."
Qingyun suddenly realized something and said, "Medicine can't cure it, but Gu can. OP, the Miaojiang Mother and Child Gu can cure all poisons."
