Chapter 259 I jumped over the wall, why are you joining in the fun?
A large number of spectators quickly gathered under the city wall.
The city walls towered into the clouds. The villagers tried their best to raise their heads, their necks aching, as they looked up at Ye Xiaoman.
It was too far away and I could only see a small white figure.
She was wearing a veil, so even the monks couldn't see her face clearly.
"who is she?"
"What is she going to do?"
"I heard that standing on a high place helps a monk comprehend the great Dao. If he were to dissipate, he would be nothing more than a boring person."
Some people also realized that Ye Xiaoman might want to commit suicide and persuaded her to come down.
"Girl, life is precious, please don't do anything stupid."
Ye Xiaoman turned a deaf ear to all the comments below.
Ji Wenyi hadn't arrived yet, so she took some time to play with the communication magic weapon.
Xiao Chujing finally contacted her and felt relieved. He had been almost anxious to death for the past two or three days.
[Junior sister, how come you disappeared without a sound? ]
Ye Xiaoman then realized that the sword spirit's substitute technique was ineffective.
But she had her story ready.
[I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xiao. I joined the slave liberation organization in the Divine Realm a while ago.]
[As you know, the Divine Realm, relying on its immense power, has captured many civilians from other continents and brought them here to serve as slaves. Like the mermaid slaves we've seen before, they toil tirelessly for their masters year after year, yet in the end receive no wages and are often murdered without cause.]
[According to the laws of the dynasty, if a slave harms his master, he will be sentenced to death. If a master kills a slave, he only needs to pay compensation of five spirit coins.]
I am deeply indignant about this.
[I haven't contacted you these past few days because the organization I joined has set up a shielding array at its base to avoid detection by the authorities, so my messages can't be sent out.]
Xiao Chujing: [You didn't even bring your life sword.]
Ye Xiaoman: [I was afraid of exposing my identity. My passion left me no time to think about anything else, so I just left everything behind and left.]
The reasons Ye Xiaoman gave were not false.
Recently, many mermaids and untouchables in the dynasty have taken the opportunity to revolt and escape from the control of their masters. Several small-scale wars have broken out inside and outside the imperial capital.
The Prince's Mansion where Ye Xiaoman stayed did indeed have a shielding magic circle.
Otherwise, with Xiao Chujing's various tracking spells and Sikong Qing's love insect sensing ability, they would have tracked her down long ago.
Objectively speaking, the fact that the slaves of the Divine Realm were able to launch an uprising was indeed due to Ye Xiaoman's help. Many members of the resistance organization were secretly grateful to Queen Ji Tuibao.
Xiao Chujing believed it.
He never doubted Ye Xiaoman's concern for the world, especially Sikong Qing.
Sikong Qing snatched the magic weapon from Xiao Chujing's hand: [Where are you? We're coming to find you.]
Ye Xiaoman also wanted to contact her fellow disciples: "I'm in Dingya City. You and your brothers and sisters can come find me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's time for us to go home."
After she finished speaking, she heard Sikong Qing proudly say to Xiao Chujing: [I said she was here.]
Sikong Qing asked her for the specific address: [I am also in Dingya City, let's meet.]
Ye Xiaoman: [Huh?]
Her scalp tightened and she suddenly realized her blind spot.
She was in the Prince's Mansion and they couldn't find her.
That also means that as soon as she leaves the Prince's Mansion, all their methods of tracking her will be effective.
Xiao Chujing thought things through thoroughly: "The most conspicuous building in the city is the northern wall. If your organization's base is inconvenient for us to meet, I'm near the wall. I'll wait for you to come."
Ye Xiaoman, standing on top of the northern city wall, said: [……]
Sikong Qing: [There are so many people gathered here, I'm afraid she won't be able to find us when she gets here.]
Xiao Chujing: [It seems like someone is about to jump over the city wall.]
Ye Xiaoman frantically scanned the vast crowd below. After a few glances, she realized she had to quickly turn her back to the crowd: "I'm at the south wall. Come see me quickly."
Xiao Chujing: [I can't leave for now. The army from the Divine Realm suddenly appeared and sealed off the entire area.]
"Abao."
Ye Xiaoman was considering whether to cancel the operation when Ji Wenyi suddenly called her from behind.
While she was engrossed in chatting, Ji Wenyi, led by the city lord, rushed to the city wall in a dusty state. Seeing Ye Xiaoman attempting suicide, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul and rushed to the city wall.
Ye Xiaoman turned and looked at Ji Wenyi: "Ah?"
The current situation is that she is standing on the edge of the city wall. If she loses her balance, she will fall into the poisonous river below that even monks cannot resist.
Ji Wenyi was about ten steps away from her, standing on the top of the city wall, panicking but trying to remain calm. He approached Ye Xiaoman step by step, making sure not to scare her.
The people of the Divine Realm in the city suddenly saw Ji Wenyi appear, and they knelt down in large numbers, "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor."
With so many people kneeling, the few foreigners standing stood out.
Ye Xiaoman couldn't help but sneak a peek at the audience below.
I could vaguely see a hint of light green and red clothing on the outer edge.
Ye Xiaoman covered her face with her hands and turned her face away stealthily.
"Abao."
Ji Wenyi called her softly again, his voice breaking. He opened his arms towards Ye Xiaoman and said, "Come into my arms."
Ye Xiaoman had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue acting according to the script.
"Don't come over here."
She faced the shimmering water with her back to Ji Wenyi.
All the sorrows in the world seemed to be concentrated on her alone, bending her weak back.
She looked at the reeds and water birds on the opposite bank, a longing, trance-like smile creeping up at the corners of her eyes, as if she was also fantasizing that she could be as free as they were.
"Ji Wenyi, when I came out this time, I heard many people scolding me. They said I was a beauty who brought disaster, and that wars were raging in the world because of me."
Ji Wenyi quickly coaxed her: "They are just repeating what others say. If you don't like it, I will order that anyone who dares to criticize you will be killed."
Ye Xiaoman shook her head: "I don't want to see anyone die because of me again."
Ji Wenyi heard the death determination in her words and pleaded, "Abao, look at me, what do you want me to do?"
…
Ye Xiaoman and Ji Wenyi were talking on a high place, and the monks below could hear their conversation with their ears.
Ji Wenyi's entire heart and soul was on Ye Xiaoman. With his people kneeling on the ground below him, he even forgot to raise his hand to ask them to stand up without any formalities.
The melon eaters had no choice but to continue kneeling on the ground, but this did not affect their mood of eating melons at all.
Thanks to Ji Wenyi, they finally realized that the woman above was none other than the Queen Ji Tuibao who had been making a big splash in the Divine Realm recently!
Ordinary people would never see the emperor once in their lifetime. How could they have the honor to encounter the emperor and empress performing a sentimental story in front of them?
My friends, this is a glorious story that can be written into the family tree and boasted about for the rest of your life!
They were at the front line to eat the melons, and their excitement was beyond words.
Keep your ears open and don't miss a single line.
The golden rule of not making noise in front of the royal family could not stop them from whispering and discussing.
"I'm late, tell me what happened."
"The Queen ran away from home, and the Emperor chased her across thousands of miles! Then the Queen fell in love with someone and refused to go back. The Emperor kept forcing her, and now the Queen is so angry she's about to jump off the city wall!"
