Chapter 1107 I'm Afraid I'll Forget Them
The Destruction in Luo Qinghan's hand was still dripping blood.
The bright red blood drop hit the ground, forming a small blood flower.
He stared at the white-haired Taoist priest not far away and asked coldly.
"Where is my concubine?"
Taoist Tian Yan deliberately spoke slowly in his usual kind and gentle tone.
"Haven't you seen her hand?
I have clearly asked someone to remind you not to act recklessly.
You refused to listen to my advice, and now you are in trouble.
The city gate was broken, but His Majesty's favorite concubine was also gone.
You won the kingdom, but lost the woman you loved most forever.
Are you satisfied? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qinghan rushed over with sword in hand!
The warriors protecting Master Tianyan immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
The swords collided and sparks flew.
In the end, Silence was more powerful, and a gap was directly cut on the blade in the assassin's hand.
Seeing this, the assassins retreated in a hurry.
Luo Qinghan ignored those assassins, stared at Master Tian Yan with his black eyes, and attacked him desperately.
Taoist Tianyan obviously didn't expect that this man would go crazy and risk his life.
He hurriedly threw the child in his arms to the assassin beside him, drew out the silver whisk from his waist, and started fighting with Luo Qinghan.
The assassins assisted Master Tianyan.
Dozens of them surrounded Luo Qinghan alone.
But Luo Qinghan not only did not fall into a disadvantage, but instead left several wounds on Master Tianyan.
Taoist Tianyan's gray and white Taoist robe was stained red with blood, and his already pale face became even gloomier and uglier.
Luo Longzhao was still crying loudly, and the sound of his crying and the collision of weapons occurred one after another.
The guards who were searching for the emperor heard the sound and immediately rushed over.
When Master Tianyan saw the enemy reinforcements coming, he knew he could not delay any longer, otherwise he would never be able to leave here safely today.
He immediately swung his whisk, grabbed the baby in the assassin's arms, and threw it towards Luo Qinghan's direction.
Seeing a crying baby flying towards him, Luo Qinghan could neither dodge nor continue attacking. He could only stop his sword moves and catch the baby steadily with his other hand.
Zhenren Tianyan seized this moment of opportunity, turned around and ran out quickly.
Luo Qinghan casually threw the baby to a guard and chased after him with a sword in hand.
Zhenren Tianyan was injured and his speed was much slower than usual. Seeing that Luo Qinghan was about to catch up, Zhenren Tianyan gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted at Luo Qinghan.
"Your concubine is not dead! She and Yu Jiu are trapped in the back garden. I had someone set a fire in the garden. If you don't save her, she will really die!"
Luo Qinghan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He turned his head and looked towards where the smoke was rising.
Where is Xixi?
Master Tianyan originally thought that Luo Qinghan would hesitate.
Which is more important, saving a woman or killing a rebel leader?
I believe that any emperor with a normal mind would choose the latter.
Even if that woman was very important to Luo Qinghan, he should at least hesitate.
However, Luo Qinghan didn't even think about it and ran towards the place where the smoke was rising.
He just let Master Tianyan run away.
While Master Tianyan was secretly thankful that he had escaped the disaster, he also felt contempt for Luo Qinghan's foolish behavior of choosing beauty over the kingdom.
He knew that the city was already full of people from the imperial court, and even if he ran away, he would be caught by the imperial court.
Also, he had previously ordered the rebels to capture innocent civilians as hostages, causing all the people in the city to hate him to the core.
If he were caught by the imperial court, at most he would be beaten and imprisoned.
But if he were caught by the people in the city, he would definitely be skinned and dismembered on the spot.
So he could never run away from the county government like this.
Master Tianyan found an ancient well in the backyard that had been abandoned for many years with ease.
He moved the stone covering the ancient well, lifted up the hem of his clothes and tucked them into his belt, then used his lightness skills to jump into the well.
There was no water at the bottom of the well any longer, only dry soil.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed it back and forth on the stone wall. When he touched a metal ring, he was delighted. He found it!
Pull the metal ring outwards with force.
Along with the subtle sound of stones rubbing against each other, a heavy stone door was slowly opened by him.
A stone cave half a person's height appeared in front of him.
This was one of the several secret passages he had people dig in advance.
He was the only one who knew about this secret passage. Even Luo Da, whom he trusted the most, did not know about the existence of this secret passage.
As long as we can crawl out of this secret passage, we can leave Youmen County smoothly.
Taoist Tian Yan turned around and closed the stone door to prevent the secret passage from being discovered by the pursuers, and then crawled forward for a distance along the secret passage in the dark.
When the secret passage gradually became wider, he stood up and took out the fire starter he carried with him.
He continued to move forward by the faint light of the fire.
Although this time the life-changing technique and the plan to start a rebellion failed.
But he is still alive.
As long as he is alive, he will make a comeback one day!
…
The entire back garden has been reduced to a sea of fire.
The Taihu stone became hot under the scorching flames.
Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu, who were hiding in the rockery cave, were already sweating profusely. Due to severe lack of oxygen, their heads were already dizzy, their throats were burning with pain, and breathing became more and more difficult.
Xiao Xixi was very sad.
She curled up into a ball, muttering names under her breath.
From Ah-han to Master, then to the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother, the youngest junior brother, Bao-qin...
She repeated all the names she could remember.
When she got to the end, she really couldn't remember the names of the people, so she just started reading the names of the dishes.
Braised fish, braised pork, scallion-roasted chicken, braised duck, braised pork elbow, braised pig's trotter...
Yu Jiu forced himself to stay alert and asked hoarsely.
"How come you still remember to eat when you are about to die?"
Xiao Xixi took a breath of the smoke-filled air and was choked and started coughing violently.
She coughed so hard that tears came out.
Yu Jiu raised his hand with difficulty and patted her back gently to help her calm down.
Xiao Xixi spoke in a hoarse and incoherent voice.
"I'm afraid I will forget them. I'm afraid I won't be a human in my next life, but an animal. Then I won't be able to eat so many delicious foods. I have to remember them."
Yu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be an animal with you in the next life."
Xiao Xixi raised her red eyes and said, "We are all dying, why aren't you sad?"
Yu Jiu looked at her steadily and murmured.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be sad?"
Facing his impending death, he really wasn't sad at all.
Deep down in his heart, he even felt a little bit of relief and joy.
He was all alone when he was alive, but now that he is about to die, he feels good to have someone by his side.
No matter what happened in the past, at least he was no longer alone after his death.
He leaned closer to Xiao Xixi and whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice.
"Let's walk together on the Naihe Bridge."
