Chapter 117 Please Wait
Yun Chen was shocked and stood there, his mind went blank.
She saw Xiaoliu curled up in the wine jar in a strange and twisted posture.
His limbs were twisted together with his torso like a pretzel, leaving only an extremely terrifying face facing upwards.
His eyes were bursting with blood, and his mouth was wide open, making it seem as if one could hear his desperate screams.
His entire body was immersed in thick, warm grease, and his skin was completely shattered into a red and white appearance, presenting the horror of "cooked meat".
No one in the Huo Gang knew what was going on. They only saw Yun Chen stiffly closing the lid of the wine jar and slowly walking back with the jar in his arms.
The moment she turned around, Huo Gannian saw that her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and her expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
Ye Yan and Hua Jue naturally noticed it as well, quickly exchanged glances, stepped forward to greet Yun Chen, and held the wine jar for her.
Unexpectedly, even though the two of them tried their best, Yun Chen's hands seemed to be attached to the wine jar and he couldn't move it at all.
The best situation would be if both sides did not fight. The Yu family was insidious and cunning, so it was not advisable to stay here for long. Ye Yan gestured to the guards of the Huo Gang to retreat, and everyone protected Huo Gannian and slowly retreated towards the gate.
As they were about to leave the gate, Yu Yangji called out maliciously:
"After the peace talks, there are still many letters of agreement to be exchanged. Please ask Guard Yunchen to come and see us off!"
Almost in an instant, everyone clearly saw Huo Gannian's expression suddenly change. Above his gloomy face, his eyes flashed with murderous intent like knives.
If looks could kill, Yu Yangji would have been turned into a sieve by now.
The members of the Huo Gang guarded Huo Gannian and returned to the Huo Mansion vigilantly.
Ye Yan suddenly slapped his head in frustration, then remembered that he hadn't done something important, and shouted:
"Where's Xiaoliu? How could you forget about Xiaoliu?"
Hua Jue also shouted "Oh no, oh no" and quickly got up and walked out, as if he wanted to go to the Yu family again to pick up Xiaoliu.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, he heard a loud "crack" and the wine jar in Yun Chen's hand finally fell heavily and shattered on the ground.
Among the countless sharp fragments, there was only one object covered with grease lying on the ground.
The tall and strong Xiaoliu has now turned into a stiff "human ball" and will never move again.
Time seemed to stand still.
A hopeless silence fell all around.
Hua Jue walked forward blankly, unable to believe his eyes. With a trembling voice, he called out tentatively:
"Little...Six?"
After seeing Xiaoliu's face clearly and confirming that it was really Xiaoliu, Hua Jue's legs softened and he fell to his knees, letting out a sharp, piercing wail:
"Xiaoliu!!!"
This sound seemed to finally wake Yun Chen up. She stared with bloodshot eyes and rushed out the door.
Almost at the same time, Huo Gannian shouted anxiously:
"Hold Yunchen! Quickly!"
Four or five guards rushed forward to stop him, but they were unable to stop Yun Chen who was almost going crazy.
She rushed out recklessly, punching everything in front of her without any reason, and screaming:
“Get out of the way!! Get out of the way!!!”
Ye Yan didn't care about being sad at all. He rushed forward and took away Yun Chen's Hidden Moon Sword. He and several guards worked together to pin Yun Chen to the ground.
Yun Chen struggled and kicked with all his might, his strength so great that it was difficult for the three of them to control it.
Her face was pressed tightly against the ground, and her tears had turned the dust on her face into mud.
She stared at the door, her face and neck were full of veins and red as if bleeding.
Bu Yan, who was hiding in the dark, also rushed out and used his hands and feet to hold Yun Chen's back, but was afraid of hurting her, so he could only hug her shoulders from behind and cried:
"Achen! You can't go! We've already negotiated! If you go to the Yu family now, you'll only die!"
His limbs and body were suppressed and unable to move. Yun Chen finally gave up struggling and burst into tears.
She wanted to shout Xiaoliu's name, but the only words that came out were the ones that tore through her throat:
"ah--"
"ah--"
The wails and cries of blood were each more heartbreaking than the last.
Seeing that Yun Chen stopped struggling, Ye Yan and Buyan lay on top of her and cried together.
I still hear Xiaoliu's bold words:
"Those who do well will be rich and powerful! They will build a great career!"
"I'm Xiaoliu's personal guard! Please respect me!"
"Just wait and see me come back with a great achievement!"
"Brother Yun, I'll be twenty next month and can get married!"
Everything seems to be still in front of my eyes, but nothing is there.
Xiaoliu wore the ill-fitting clothes, the old royal guard uniform that he had only worn for one day, and he was forever stuck at the age of nineteen.
Xun Xun's longevity lock failed to protect Xiaoliu after all.
…
…
Xiaoliu's death caused outrage among Nanlijun and his subordinates.
It's not just because Xiaoliu's death was too tragic and horrific, it's hard to imagine how long he cried and screamed in that small and confined wine jar, and how he watched the boiling hot oil pouring down on him.
Moreover, Xiaoliu's death was like a slap in the face to Nanlijun and all the big merchants.
But Yu Yangji has signed the peace agreement.
Everyone could only grit their teeth and swallow the blood.
Only Yun Chen couldn't swallow it.
She was like a wild beast that had lost its mind. She didn't eat, drink or sleep. She just stared with her scarlet eyes, trying desperately to rush out of the house again and again. Her mind was filled with only one thing: revenge for Xiaoliu.
Until all the guards who were guarding her were exhausted, Ye Yan, Hua Jue and Buyan stayed with her and cried with her night after night.
Until Huo Gannian held her face, pressed his forehead against hers, and said to her:
"One day, we will send Yu Yangji to hell, Chen'er, please wait a little longer..."
She finally lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground like mud, her face covered with new and old tear marks.
