Does that mean there's no solution?
Zheng Quchi was at a loss for what to do.
Wang Zebang acted decisively. He knew that Gan Xin could not buy them much time, so he grabbed Zheng Quchi and retreated into the woods with the soldiers.
Zheng Quchi couldn't break free from Wang Zebang's strength at all, and she had no choice but to run with him. Even when they were far apart, she still turned around and looked back, just in time to meet Yuwen Sheng's gaze. She saw that his eyes were bloodshot, devoid of any emotion, and even lacking the intelligence that a human should have. He was like a machine, existing only to destroy any target he had his eye on.
The words Le Tai once said involuntarily came to mind: "He was infected with the Phoenix Tear, and in the end he will either go mad or die"...
Just as Wang Zebang had predicted, Gan Xin tried his best to restrain Yuwen Sheng's actions, but in the end he was unable to resist. He had both arms broken, crashed into the rocks, vomited blood, and fainted.
Yuwen Sheng was no ordinary opponent. Although he had the upper hand in his battle with Gan Xin, he also suffered serious internal injuries. However, he seemed to be unaware of any pain and chased after the direction in which they disappeared.
Wang Zebang kept glancing behind him, his heart pounding with anxiety: "No, if so many of us run together, we'll easily be caught. Let's split up."
"Split up?" Zheng Quchi's heart jumped: "I... I agreed beforehand that I'm strong, but I can't actually withstand one of his palm strikes."
Seeing her talking about this so seriously, Wang Zebang didn't know whether to laugh or say she was mentally strong: "Madam, the general probably won't chase after you, just be careful."
"oh oh."
"I'll send the Xuanjia Army..."
"No need, I can handle it alone. You all take that Kezhu tribe leader and find a safe place to hide quickly. Make sure Yuwen Sheng doesn't catch him."
Before Wang Zebang could say anything more, Zheng Quchi turned around and ran in the other direction.
"lady……"
Wang Zebang seemed to shout something behind him, but Zheng Quchi was too preoccupied to listen.
She had no martial arts skills, and although her physical strength was not bad, she was definitely different from these specially trained soldiers. In order not to slow them down, she decided to find a place to hide.
She was unfamiliar with the terrain of this forest and could easily get lost, so she decided to climb higher up to the top of the mountain.
She struggled to climb uphill, worrying about whether Wang Zebang would be caught, wondering if Le Qi could turn Yuwen Sheng back to normal, concerned about Gan Xin, and wondering what would happen if Yuwen Sheng didn't regain his senses...
Finally reaching the summit, she was exhausted and out of breath. The trees on the summit were sparse, and looking down, she saw that everyone else looked small. Looking up, at the moment of sunrise, the eastern sky was ablaze with rosy light, bright, vibrant, and dazzling.
The night passed just like that...
She plopped down on a rock, waiting for her heartbeat to calm down, while also admiring the magnificent scene before her in a daze.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard a rustling sound. Her sharp ears caught the sound, and she turned around abruptly to see a figure strolling leisurely through the woods. She froze in shock.
Until he stood before her, a cruel and illusory smile on his face, with a "whoosh," the tip of his sword was already at her throat. With a cry of surprise, Zheng Quchi quickly shut her mouth again.
After a long moment of breakdown, she finally managed to squeeze out, "You promised you wouldn't pursue me..."
What should I do?
In short, don't give up yet, try to see if you can awaken his memory.
"Yuwen Sheng, I am Zheng Quchi, your wife who shared your hardships. Do you...do you still recognize me?"
She could have accepted the marriage to save her life.
But clearly, Yuwen Sheng didn't even remember who he was at this point, let alone her. In his eyes, she might just be prey like a rabbit or a silly roe deer.
He slightly withdrew his stance, and just as the sword was about to strike, Zheng Quchi closed his eyes in fright, and the words slipped out: "Don't kill me, I'll sing you a song."
She remembered that he used to sometimes hum a tune for no reason. Although he didn't hum it often anymore, who knows if there was always a musician living inside him?
Besides, isn't music supposed to bring people psychological pleasure? Who knows, maybe he'll be so happy that he won't kill anyone to entertain him?
"Take my heart away, hide it in your bag, take it with you to wander the world, to the distant places you yearn for... The more you crave, the more you lose... Don't let it be broken and then pieced back together... I think I no longer need to wander, nor do I need to pretend to be strong..."
The sword pine, it's loose?
It seems that singing really does have a therapeutic effect!
Let's change to another one... Damn, if you don't like it, just say so. Why are you arguing like that? Okay, okay, let's go back to the previous one.
However, she doesn't know many songs. Besides the few school songs that we have to learn in school, she can only hum a few pop songs. Of course, she can't sing a whole song in one go, as the lyrics are missing in various ways, and she can only barely remember the melody.
She had been singing on repeat for over ten times... She really wanted to stop and rest, but then she saw him glance at her, and the murderous intent that was resurfacing made Zheng Quchi's skin crawl. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue singing...
After repeating this cycle more than ten times, she was exhausted, truly exhausted. But if she stopped, she would die. In the end, she could only erase the lyrics and hum the tune.
It was already broad daylight, and no one knew whether an hour or two had passed since Yuwen Sheng captured her. In any case, no one had yet discovered that this pitiful little girl was confronting the great demon.
She felt that in the end she would either die singing or be killed by him; either way, she would die.
Enough time has been wasted.
"Brother, if you want to kill me, then kill me..."
A hoarse, weak voice rang out.
I can't squeeze out any more words...
