More than one explosion rang out, one after another, coming from the direction of the main hall.
Qi Nuan could almost feel the earth trembling.
Her heart trembled violently.
Qi Nuan was shocked. Without even paying attention to Ye Sheng beside her, she flew towards the square where Jiang Yu was.
Qi Nuan felt as if she had stopped breathing, and rushed towards Jiang Yu at the fastest speed she had ever been.
What met the eye was dust and sand flying everywhere.
Qi Nuan couldn't see anything, so she could only rely on her memory to find Jiang Yu's location.
Ye Sheng then caught up.
She stared blankly at the white mist rising into the air, her face streaked with tears. She had buried many explosives beneath the square; she had been preparing for this for a long time.
No one can escape it.
The same goes for Gu Yucheng.
Qi Nuan asked her how to deal with the attacks from Shangjun and Shu Han, didn't she? This is the answer. And everyone in Langya who is dissatisfied with her, except for her own people, will perish in this explosion.
However, neither she nor Qi Nuan noticed that the entire palace seemed unusually quiet.
Logically, such a loud explosion should have already caused panic among others.
But now, apart from the two of them, there is no one else in sight.
Neither of them, caught up in their own emotions, realized this.
Qi Nuan felt as if she had entered a fog and could see nothing.
She could only shout their names loudly, from Jiang Yu, Jiang Ming... to Zhang Liao, she had called out all of their names.
But the only sound in the air was her voice.
The sound echoed repeatedly in the sky.
High in the sky, Gu Yucheng and Jiang Yu faced each other.
Their gazes also fell upon the two women on the ground.
Ye Sheng collapsed to the ground, seemingly oblivious to the coldness of the earth, staring blankly at the layers of mist before her, while Qi Nuan's voice echoed from within the fog.
She just stared blankly, no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
Qi Nuan was still searching for Jiang Yu's figure in the mist when she tripped over some rocks and cut her hand with sharp stones, causing it to bleed profusely. However, this did not stop her from continuing her journey.
The two people in the air seemed oblivious to everything.
I don't know how much time passed.
Jiang Yu said calmly to the person opposite her, "You caused this, so what are you going to do about it?"
Gu Yucheng looked at the people behind him. What else could he do? If they all died here, they would leave easily.
However, he didn't know why Jiang Yu saved them. They were just ordinary people, and it was enough that he had fulfilled his lifelong love with Ye Sheng.
Although he knew he was wrong, he was just going with the flow.
It wasn't his doing, so aside from his initial guilty conscience, he's quite calm now.
Now that Jiang Yu has asked him what he wants, he will naturally follow his decision.
"Naturally, we will obey the God's decision."
Jiang Yu looked at everything below and thought, "It's all for the best."
These people shouldn't have died, so naturally he wouldn't just stand by and watch them die.
And Qi Nuan.
He looked at the people still searching for him in the mist.
Their fate ended here.
He slightly raised his hand.
Qi Nuan and Ye Sheng below both fell into a coma.
When Qi Nuan woke up, she found herself already outside.
"Ayu, Ayu..."
Her voice was terribly hoarse, and Yang Liuer quickly stepped forward to catch Qi Nuan.
"Where is the Prefect? I need to see him."
Qi Nuan asked Yang Liuer.
Yang Liuer did not answer, her face filled with sorrow, "Lord... Ah Nuan, please accept my condolences..."
What? What do you mean by "please accept my condolences"? She couldn't understand a word Yang Liuer was saying.
Qi Nuan struggled to get up.
They walked outside.
White sails were hung all over the city.
Only then did she notice that everyone was wearing white mourning cloths.
What is this being done?
Who died?
Why are they all looking at her with such worried expressions?
"Where is A-Yu?"
Qi Nuan stared blankly at Jiang Ming in front of her. Upon hearing her voice, two tears welled up in Jiang Ming's red eyes.
"Fu Jun, Fu Jun..."
He choked up, unable to finish his sentence.
“Take me to see him.”
Qi Nuan ignored their worried looks and calmly spoke to Jiang Ming.
Yan Gong sighed and nodded to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao then led Qi Nuan to the mourning hall.
Qi Nuan looked at the coffin in the mourning hall and at the grieving crowd in Shangjun, and felt a sense of unreality.
How could that be? How could Jiang Yu be dead?
She held her head, her head throbbing terribly, and wondered why she had no recollection of anything.
How could he have died?
"Open the coffin."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts aching at the sight of Qi Nuan, realizing she was simply overwhelmed with grief.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life, Ah Nuan..."
Seeing that Yan Gong was about to say something, Qi Nuan interrupted them.
"I said open the coffin."
Her voice was icy cold, her eyes were fixed on the coffin, and her face was devoid of any emotion.
"I told you to open it..."
Left with no other choice, Lord Yan had to order the coffin to be opened.
Qi Nuan just stared at the coffin.
Until the coffin was opened, the person inside was gradually revealed to Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuan stepped forward and stroked the person in the coffin, continuously channeling spiritual energy into the corpse.
"Impossible, how could this be A-Yu?" Her tears fell like beans onto Jiang Yu's face.
How could Ah Yu possibly abandon her?
Seeing her like this, everyone felt a pang of sadness.
Unable to bear watching any longer, I quietly left.
Only Amu and Xiao stayed by her side.
After a long while, Qi Nuan withdrew her hand, her voice hollow.
"Can you tell me what happened that day? Why can't I remember anything about it?"
Xiao looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then told her what had happened that day.
Their group traveled from Shangjun to Langya, and within a few days, heavy snow began to fall, piling up like mountains in just one day and one night.
Amidst a blizzard, they had no choice but to seek shelter in a temple.
Just then, they encountered the Shu Han generals who had come to visit.
A conflict broke out between the two sides.
They fought them fiercely, and each of them was seriously injured.
At that moment, the smell of blood on them attracted wild wolves that appeared out of nowhere.
They could only fight the wolves; they had to face not only enemy attacks but also the wolves' sharp claws and teeth.
It's unclear how long it took them to drive the wolves away.
Only then did they realize that they had become separated from the magistrate and his entourage.
They didn't know exactly what had happened until the next day when they found Jiang Yu and Qi Nuan in the snow.
Both Jiang Yu and Qi Nuan were covered in blood.
Qi Nuan remained unconscious, and Jiang Yu also stopped breathing shortly after their arrival.
"So he was alive when you found him?"
Qi Nuan asked.
