Chapter 22 is here. Time passes quietly, the sun is high in the sky,...
Time passed quietly, the high sun showed a round white point in the distance, and things on the ground were no longer hidden in the twilight, but had a hazy shape.
The footsteps sounded like autumn silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves, making a rustling sound, and the fabric was brushing across the grass. The sound came from far away and was getting closer and closer, not far ahead.
With pursuers behind and an ambush in front, we are really in a dilemma.
The man in black was chasing him relentlessly. Without time to think, Lu Zhifeng said directly, "Keep going forward."
What if it wasn’t an enemy ambush?
The night was drawing to a close, but not yet over. The grass was already stained with a speck of moisture. A group of people stumbled across the grass, their soaked undergarments blending with the mottled wounds. The intense movement caused the wounds to repeatedly crack, clump, scab, and crack again. Nothing was soaked; it was sweat and morning dew.
Their robes were soaked in the morning mist, adding a slight obstacle to their escape. This wasn't the worst part. The transition between day and night, the night's coolness intersecting with the morning sun, gradually increased the temperature, causing the mist to rise. It wasn't just the bottoms of their clothes that were soaked, but their entire bodies were drenched in moisture. The occasional breeze felt like icy needles, pricking their wounds.
The water mist condensed into particles, coupled with the sweat from the intense exercise, it hurt like salt was sprinkled directly on the wound. The pain seemed to penetrate the wound on the arm and hit the bones under the flesh and blood. Lu Zhifeng really felt like it was being drilled into his bones and was unbearable.
The falling weight and the unharmed person in his arms made Lu Zhifeng feel it was worth it. At least his life was still there.
etc! ?
【Where are the followers? 】
"Here I come."
"His Majesty."
In the system space, Song Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes, and he slowly uttered two words. His voice was low and powerful, with an affirmation that could not be questioned.
"What's wrong? Give me some permissions." Song Heng said those two words, and the oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared. The system was curious about the reason, but seeing Song Heng's eyes, which hadn't moved away from the screen, it concluded that the reason was there, and regardless of the previous grievance, it continued to stick to Song Heng, hoping that he would grant it permissions.
Of course, the little black ball didn't notice it himself.
Everything was under control. Song Heng was happy. The moment he heard the system request, he opened the system permissions.
"?" The screen immediately showed Lu Zhifeng and his group standing there in a panic. The system tilted its head in confusion.
Song Heng was very interested.
"Your Majesty." The voice that came at the same time as Song Heng's voice came from He Yuanming.
"I'm late." He Yuanming apologized as soon as he arrived.
"General He, please stand up first. Why are you here?" Lu Zhifeng looked at the dark mass of soldiers behind He Yuanming, and felt much more relaxed. He asked the question in his mind.
"Your Majesty sent for me," He Yuanming replied, "but I am still late."
Lu Zhifeng: "It's not too late. Let's deal with the people behind first."
Now we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. Most of the pursuing men in black were surrounded and killed by the soldiers led by He Yuanming.
A small number were captured alive.
He Yuanming: "The people have been almost cleared out."
Lu Zhifeng: "Let's go to the carriage first and see if there are any surviving followers. His Majesty is unconscious now and needs a carriage to return to the palace quickly."
"..." He Yuanming hesitated to speak, but did not mention it. "The situation is urgent, let's go there quickly."
"Okay. Miss Su, you guys come with us. Please take another look at His Majesty's condition." Song Heng's identity had been revealed, and Lu Zhifeng no longer hid it.
"Okay." The journey was full of dangers, and if they wanted to enter the capital, it would obviously be safer to travel together. Su Keke agreed immediately.
"Swish" Lu Zhifeng got another new wound on his arm, which was so deep that it was obvious.
A seriously injured man in black suddenly jumped up, with a clear target, and stabbed Song Heng directly in the vital point with a knife.
Acting faster than thinking, Lu Zhifeng blocked the sword with his palm, and the sword pierced through his hand bones, only glancing at the skin on Song Heng's neck.
The first attack failed, and the man in black wanted to attack again.
With a "bang", the body exploded and shattered into pieces.
"He must have taken medicine." Su Keke came to this conclusion after seeing this scene.
"Your Majesty, leave it to me." He Yuanming saw Lu Zhifeng's bleeding palm and wanted to help share the burden.
"No need, we're just ahead." Lu Zhifeng didn't agree, but handed the blood knife to He Yuanming and changed his hand to hold the person.
As he moved his hands alternately, blood gushed out from his palms. When Lu Zhifeng checked the wound, the blood meandered and flowed to the corner of Song Heng's mouth.
Their eyes met.
"Your Majesty, you are awake." After checking the wound on Song Heng's neck, his eyes moved upwards, and his figure was projected into the ink-black eyes.
Song Heng tried to control his body, but in vain, not wanting to forget Lu Zhifeng's continued worry. His eyelids blinked slightly under his long, feather-like eyelashes, like two fluttering butterflies.
Fragile and beautiful.
Lu Zhifeng continued, "Your Majesty, let's return to the carriage first."
I received another two flutters of butterflies. That was my answer.
Seeing this, Lu Zhifeng said no more and walked quickly.
After Song Heng replied to Lu Zhifeng, he began to think about why he suddenly came back.
I was originally in the system space, but a suction force came and I suddenly returned to my body.
"What's going on? Given my previous condition, I shouldn't be able to return to my body so quickly." Song Heng asked the system in his mind, "What's the reason? System, do you know?"
"Did anything happen before the host returned?" The system didn't know either and could only analyze it.
"No. It just came out suddenly." Song Heng didn't notice anything unusual.
"Then 002 doesn't know either." The little black ball pointed at his finger.
After Lu Zhifeng ran for a while, Song Heng was able to completely control his body.
"Put me down, I'm fine." A weak voice came from Song Heng's mouth. There was no response. Song Heng pulled Lu Zhifeng's sleeve.
He felt a tugging sensation at his cuffs, and Lu Zhifeng stopped and lowered his head slightly.
"Put me down, I'll be on the carriage soon. I want to move around." Song Heng spoke immediately when he saw people looking at him.
After a long time of not reacting, Lu Zhifeng was stunned for a moment before gently putting the person in his arms down.
My arms feel empty, I'm not used to it.
As soon as Song Heng touched the ground, he tried to walk, but it was like he had a brain stem missing. His hands weren't hands, and his feet weren't feet. He walked crookedly.
"Hey." Song Heng suddenly fell forward in an uncoordinated manner.
He hugged Lu Zhifeng again.
"Let me support Your Majesty."
"good."
*
By daybreak, a large number of followers had collapsed around the carriage. Most of them lay flat on their backs, free of wounds, while a few had footprints or wounds on their black clothes.
Song Heng: "Miss Su, could you please take a look at what's wrong with them?"
Su Keke checked their pulses and then used two fingers to pry open their eyelids. "They should be taking Chinese medicine."
Song Heng: "Is it serious?"
Su Keke: "He overdosed on drugs. He should be able to wake up in a few hours."
Lu Zhifeng thought thoughtfully, maybe that incident in childhood was not entirely bad.
"Fortunately, we have special physiques, otherwise we would have been knocked down as well." Chen Yeran sighed.
Song Heng: "General He, please take care of this. Miss Su, please help Lord Lu check his wound."
"This is medicine. Change it three times a day. Don't let the wound get wet." After Su Keke gave the instructions, she took out the gauze and planned to bandage Lu Zhifeng.
"I'll do it myself. There are still injured people outside, please go and take a look, Miss Su." Lu Zhifeng said and took the gauze.
Slide three times around the circle.
"Give it to me. I'll bandage you." Song Heng couldn't stand this clumsiness.
Lu Zhifeng's eyebrows curved, "Okay. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Heng bandaged the wound carefully. The wound on the arm was just a deep mark, but the wound on the palm was so deep that the white bones were visible even after applying medicine. The hair in both places had turned white because they had not been treated for too long and were soaked in rain and fog.
Song Heng felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly, and a sour feeling welled up in his stomach.
“How do I catch it with my hands?”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's you who's going to get hurt." Lu Zhifeng stared at Song Heng and said this. He lowered his gaze to the large bow on his palm, feeling strange and said, "Your Majesty, I'm honored to help you bandage this."
"Are you not afraid of not being able to hold a knife in the future? Don't you yearn for freedom?"
"Miss Su said it's all right. If there's any problem, it's my choice." Lu Zhifeng answered the first half of the sentence, then looked up at Song Heng with a hint of surprise, "How did your Majesty know?"
"That day, the couplet on the bamboo pavilion pillar was blurred, but I could still vaguely make out some of it."
Lu Zhifeng said with a hint of embarrassment, "It was written when I was a child and didn't know any better."
"Maybe that's what's in your heart." Song Heng looked directly at Lu Zhifeng.
"Maybe..." Lu Zhifeng turned his head, avoiding Song Heng's direct gaze.
"Your Majesty informed General He in advance. Why? Have they already taken action?" Lu Zhifeng said in a firm tone. Thinking of his escape last night, he felt a little more relieved that he had survived the disaster.
"That's right." Song Heng didn't shy away from the fact that he was going to catch them all in one fell swoop this time. "Those old guys have recovered their vitality and are now doing things in the dark and now they are doing it in the open."
"The capital is in danger."
"It doesn't matter. This time I'll go back and wipe them out. They're all the trouble caused by the old man."
*
"General He, can everyone be present?"
"Your Majesty, everyone is here."
"Those old guys have been lying in wait for a long time. I think they were ready to make a move during the epidemic."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Those in the capital have already taken control of the government with the concubine's son."
"What's the reason?"
He Yuanming pursed his lips and thought for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty has been away from court for a long time. They say you died of insanity."
Song Heng didn't feel anything after hearing this and changed the subject, "Have you dealt with the border issue? Those old guys not only embezzled money for me, but also formed a clique with the foreign enemy for personal gain."
"When the Shanzhai group found out about this, we had already intercepted their communication channels. Now we are controlling this line. We left people at the border and gave the enemy false information that we were still at the border. They won't come back to attack for a while."
"Okay, let's get this sorted quickly. Just in case."
"Yes, sir." He Yuanming left the carriage and went out to prepare.
at night.
The enemy was at the gates of the city, and the city gates were tightly shut. A heavy, deadly atmosphere filled the air. The number of soldiers guarding the gates had obviously increased significantly.
The army was unstoppable and the enemy was defeated step by step.
Soon they arrived at the Golden Palace.
"Your Majesty, here we are."
