Chapter 379: Besieged at the Foot of the Mountain
She didn't seem to be fulfilling a vow, but rather making a wish, and the wish was... very specific?
Wen Wan was stumped by his question.
She had been stalling for time. She and Shen Yu had agreed to escape here, but she didn't have time to elaborate on the specific method.
I don’t know if Shen Yu is ready or what his plan is.
At this moment, the Guanyin Temple was so quiet that there was no sign of an ambush.
That's why she kept muttering to herself to delay time.
Wen Wan looked around but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Meng Jin frowned at her strange behavior, "Xiao Wan, you..."
He had just said two words when suddenly there was a loud roar.
As the roar sounded, the earth shook.
"The earth dragon turned over?" Meng Jin exclaimed subconsciously.
Wen Wan knew that the ancients called earthquakes "earth dragons turning over." When Meng Jin shouted this, Wen Wan was also stunned for a moment.
The entire temple was shaking, and dust was falling from the beams, which really looked like an earthquake.
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and muttered softly, "No way, I just made an unreliable wish, could it be that this has pissed off Goddess Guanyin?"
Is the psychological quality of gods so poor?
Wen Wan has been carefree for a long time. When her body felt empty and she was falling, she was still thinking about the psychological quality of the gods.
Then, along with choking dust, darkness came.
*
Wen Wan felt like she was on a slide, her body sliding down continuously. When she came to her senses, she rushed out of a cave and the sky suddenly became bright.
"ah!"
She exclaimed, and the next moment she fell into a warm and familiar embrace.
The mountain breeze blew, accompanied by cool water vapor.
When Wen Wan raised her head, she met Chen Yu's deep eyes.
"Hold on tight."
Shen Yu lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, then galloped away on horseback with her.
He kisses all the time, and this guy has embodied the essence of the male protagonist in romance novels.
Wen Wan sat in front of him and looked back at the hill in the distance. Halfway up the hill, she could still see rolling dust. The Guanyin Temple that was once visible had now become a ruin.
She gasped, "Chen Yu, did you blow up the Guanyin Temple?"
"Explode?" Shen Yu didn't quite understand what she meant, but he guessed her confusion and explained, "We just set up some traps to cause the Guanyin Temple to collapse."
"Oh." Wen Wan responded, then took a deep breath, "No, that's the temple of Goddess Guanyin. If you destroyed it, it would be disrespectful to the gods..."
"Do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Shen Yu asked with his head down.
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment. She didn't believe it before, but now she has experienced time travel. Even if she didn't believe it before, she now believes it a little bit.
She told the truth, "I believe it a little bit."
Chen Yu said calmly, "Even if ghosts and gods really do exist, think about it. For someone like Meng Jin who has done so many evil things, if the temple collapses and crushes him to death, it can be considered as eliminating harm for the people and a good deed. The gods will also be pleased with this."
Wen Wan was easily persuaded by him, but after a moment, she frowned again.
"But didn't we agree to use Madam Wen's death to sow discord between He Qingqing and Meng Jin? Are you changing your plan now? Are you going to just kill him?"
As the horse galloped, only Shen Yu's sinister reply could be heard.
"It would be great if we could just kill Meng Jin, but... he probably won't die. The guards following him are experts that He Qingqing found for him. They won't let him die so easily."
*
Facts have proved that the saying that evil can last for a thousand years is indeed true.
Not only was Meng Jin not crushed to death, he also caught up.
As soon as Shen Yu and Wen Wan arrived at the foot of the mountain, Meng Jin caught up with them with his guards.
Meng Jin originally had seven or eight guards, but now only four or five are left. He is covered in dust and there is an inch-long wound on his forehead. Although the bleeding has stopped, his face is dirty and he looks very embarrassed.
He stared fiercely at the man and woman on horseback, his eyes gleaming with a sinister coldness.
"Chen Yu, you really came!"
Meng Jin and his guards surrounded Shen Yu and the other man.
Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat. Meng Jin came too quickly, which was very abnormal.
She looked at Meng Jin in shock, "You...you deliberately used me as bait to trick him into coming here?"
Meng Jin tightened the reins and sneered, "Actually, I'm not sure if I can lure him over. If he can come, that's better, but if he can't, I don't seem to have lost anything. In life, you always have to try your best."
Coming from an ordinary family, he would not have gotten to where he is today without the courage to give it a try.
Meng Jin was very proud of having trapped the two of them. "I know you tried to be nice to me a few days ago, but it was all just empty talk. With your character, you wouldn't be so humble. Otherwise, you would have been content to be his concubine."
It has to be said that Meng Jin still understands her a little bit.
Wen Wan's face darkened and she suddenly remembered something.
She sniffed the clothes on her body and suddenly realized what was going on.
"I was wondering why they asked me to burn incense and bathe before leaving the house. It turns out they stained my clothes with tracking spices."
Meng Jin did not deny it and said with a smile: "It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning."
The best way to show off is to be humble. As expected of a hypocrite like Meng, he really knows this well.
After Meng Jin finished showing off, he looked at Shen Yu and said, "It seems that General Shen's eyes have recovered. I'm sure the Empress Dowager will be happy for General Shen if she knows about it."
Shen Yu was too lazy to waste words with him. He glanced at the guards around him, frowned slightly, but calmly drew the long sword at his waist.
"Okay, let's go together."
“It has come to this, and you are still so arrogant, Shen Yu, you are really disgusting!”
Meng Jin gritted his teeth in anger and waved his hand to order the guards to attack together.
Each of his guards were carefully selected and had excellent skills. If they were ordinary people, they would have been chopped down if they attacked together.
But Shen Yu was Shen Yu after all, and after a fierce fight, he did not lose the upper hand.
When Meng Jin saw this scene, he became so angry that his expression twisted.
"Chen Yu, do you think you can escape today?"
Perhaps to confirm Meng Jin's words, a dense crowd of people appeared on the mountain road in the distance. All of them were wearing armor. First they were cavalrymen, then archers and infantrymen.
It turned out that a regular army had arrived?
Wen Wan took a deep breath and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She was careless and shouldn't have taken the risk of setting up a trap, but Meng Jin took advantage of her and she fell into his trap!
Shen Yu felt her trembling and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, someone will come to pick you up soon, and I will definitely rush out with you."
She believed him, but there were too many people coming.
No matter how capable he is, can he still fight his way out with her as a burden?
Wen Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Or, you can just..."
"Xiao Wan, who are you looking down on?" Chen Yu interrupted her and sneered, "I, Chen Yu, am I a coward in your eyes? Would I abandon my woman just to save my own life?"
He won't.
Therefore, she didn't need to say anything after that.
