Chapter 110 Ending the Countdown 3
"For something I didn't want at all, I fought for more than ten years. I failed you, I also failed myself, and I also implicated everyone in the end. Come with me..."
"Master, it's time to go." In front of the car, A Li pulled the wooden bar of the parking lot, the carriage and horses swayed slightly, the horses sprayed, and the car followed and took half a step forward.
Yan Shuning refused to let go, so Xie Lu yanked towards him desperately, leaned out half of his body from the carriage, and hugged him tightly.
"Zhaoming, in the past...we have also been separated many times."
"Every time... I don't know when we will meet each other, but I was really too stingy at that time, and I didn't even...not say goodbye to you properly once. I regret many things... very regretful. But it was too late Oh, Zhaoming, we're...too late."
Hot tears fell onto Xie Lu's shoulders and neck, Yan Shuning seemed to have exhausted all his strength under A Li's helpless urging in a low voice, and was finally willing to push him away and straighten up.
"Today...you will see me off instead."
"After this farewell, separated by mountains and seas, I don't know if there will be a day of reunion in this life. It shows that you... you must take care of yourself in the future, you must take care of yourself!"
"I will...live well, no matter where I am. So Zhaoming, you must promise me too! You must also be well...definitely...well..."
The carriage and horse moved forward again, and Yan Shuning started to hold his hand, but was unwilling to let go of his sleeve, until he was sobbing and weeping alone in the carriage.
The heavy rain quickly covered up the traces of the chariots and horses leaving.Even the surrounding lush trees can't be seen clearly.
Sadly, the past ten years have been like rain falling on Xie Lv who was standing there blankly.
Drinking and drinking, composing poems and adding wine, laughing at Yan Yan's youth, or being alone under the cold long smoke and bright moon, fantasizing about the lovesickness that Yan Shuning will one day ascend to the sky, and the days are hard.
However, whether it is to see the world together, or to pave the way for him with blood, what Xie Lu never imagined in the past ten years is the ending that is so far apart in front of him.
The fate of fate is unpredictable.Wealth and splendor are nothing but vanity.
Worldly fame and fame covered by clouds are far worse than listening to a cup of tea in the Snow Palace, or a touch of warm sunshine in Lingyue City.
It's even worse than being kicked by A Zhibai with a glance, and the sweetness in my heart.
But this kind of thing...
If it weren't for the floating clouds and thousands of sails, if it wasn't for the ups and downs of the world.
If it wasn't for indulging in love and misery, staying together and abandoning each other, how could you know it unforgettable?
……
It's useless to think about the past.
Staying in the moment is the top priority!Go back at once, go back to the city!Dismiss the servants, embrace Zhaozhao, hold Ah Zhi's hand, and go——!
Take him away, roam the world, not afraid of anything, and don't want anything.
In fact... Originally... he wanted to wait for the emperor to let him go willingly. Xie Lv originally thought that only in this way could he completely relieve his worries.Yan Yuliang has already agreed, maybe one or two years later, maybe three to five years later, then he will no longer force others to be difficult.
But Ah Zhi is a fool, why do you want to save King Ning without telling yourself?
If he told himself, at least, at least...
But... there is no way to blame him.
Ah Zhi would do that, after all, for whom?Is it not for you, or to make you feel at ease?
He rode his horse and galloped to the gate of the city, suddenly a few golden and red lights flashed like fireworks in the dark sky, and after a closer look, it was actually a burst of fire from the sky, flying down into the city like a pop.
This rare celestial phenomenon, which was rare in his life, made Xie Lu's black pupils constrict, and many people in the city were frightened by the strange celestial phenomenon, screaming and rushing out of the city.
"Xiao Luo! Ling Guoer!"
With sharp eyes, Xie Lv saw the two of them in the crowd at a glance.
Those two people looked very strange - they were still in good quality silk, but they were dressed as strange village men and women with messy headscarves around them, and Ling Guoer was still holding Zhao Zhao in his hands.
"What's going on? What are you doing here!? What about Azhi?!"
"General, general! During the day, my subordinates and Miss Lingguo took Master Zhaozhao to the street to buy candy, and suddenly there was a storm. When we were hiding from the rain, we saw a large group of people from the imperial forest army surrounding the general's mansion! I heard that it was the general. Helped King Ning escape from prison. I, I saw that something was wrong, so I ran out with Lingguo. General, you, you are actually innocent, right? You, you go back and tell them!"
Xie Lv only felt his mind buzzing.The emperor... unexpectedly surrounded the general's mansion during the heavy rain?
know everything...
Yan Yuliang, he is sure... he knew everything a long time ago!
"Then Ah Zhi...is he still at home? Did you see Ah Zhi come out?"
"My lord...he didn't see it, maybe he's still in the mansion!" Ling Guoer said anxiously, "General, what should we do now?"
"You two are holding Zhaozhao, take a boat to Jiangnan, and go to Qingcheng next to Luoshui to wait for us! There is a small Huajiang River in the city, and there is a courtyard planted with apricot trees in the most prosperous part of the Huajiang River. The door lock key Here, you take it, go there and wait for us! Here! Take all the valuable bank notes!"
Xie Lv threw out the key, and rummaged through all the valuables in his body. Except for the broken banknotes, he even took off the jade pendant around his waist and stuffed them to Xiao Luo: "If you can't wait for us, you will bring up Zhaozhao, This money is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life!"
Ling Guo'er burst into tears in fright, Xie Lu held her down, "Don't cry! Hurry up! Go by the water, don't delay!"
"General, woo...you must bring the young master back! Definitely! Definitely! We'll be waiting for you!"
"Well, let's go."
……
There were a lot of panicked people on the street, bustling and trampling, Xie Lu's horse stumbled all the way, and managed to reach the east of the city with difficulty.From a distance, the general's mansion can be seen in flames.
"It's him—it's General Xie!"
The entire general's mansion in front of him was completely submerged in the raging flames. Xie Lu got off his horse in front of the mansion, and was about to charge in, when a knife flashed in front of him, and the silver spear of the Imperial Forest Army Dutong was thrown across.
"The guilty minister, Xie Lu, colluded with King Ning's remaining party to rebel, why don't you kneel down and punish him?!"
"I'm a guilty minister, aren't you an idiot?" Xie Lv sneered, and squinted at his deadly enemy for more than ten years, "Qin Si, you used to follow Cheng Wang for so many years, but now you see the wind and turn the steering wheel, and mix with the Imperial Forest Army Commander-in-Chief." , you dare to be arrogant to me?"
"Come on, take him down for me!"
Several silver guns on the left and right came forward, and Xie Lu drew his sword and cut them off in an instant: "You dare! I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately today, but who wants to court death?!"
Everyone in the capital didn't know that Xie Lv was superb in martial arts, even if it was the Imperial Forest Army, under his roar, there was a stalemate for a while and no one dared to move.
A voice from the crowd behind him came from far and near with a fragrant breeze: "Get out of the way! Hey, do you know who I am? Get out of the way~ Yes! Your Majesty ordered you to arrest him, yes, Your Majesty ordered you to stop me Is it already? Then let’s get out of the way! You don’t have long eyes!”
"Xun Lingjun." Qin Si, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, bowed and cupped his hands when he saw the visitor.
Xun Chang let out a "hmm", frowned and looked at the blazing flames: "Hey, Xie, you are in big trouble now. And what's going on with your house? Why is it burning so badly?"
"Xun Lingjun, this fire is very strange," Qin Yudao, "After our imperial army surrounded the general's mansion, we were just about to rush in when the fire fell from the sky, and it just burned around the house! Stopped, the soldiers tried to put out the fire, but—”
"Ah Zhi, he...he must still be inside."
Xie Lu murmured.After all, apart from that person, who else could attract such a fire from the sky?
"You are outside, why is he still inside?" Xun Chang was puzzled, "Uh, it couldn't be...you let King Ning go private, isn't your little lover happy?"
Xie Lv ignored him, just rushed in with his head sullen, Qin Si blocked him again with his silver spear, Xie Lv swung his knife at his face, but was stopped by Xun Changhu with embarrassment.
"You two! Do you really have to fight to the death? Qin Dutong, let's get out of the way! There is such a big fire, if he insists on going in, he will probably never return."
***
"Ah Zhi—Ah Zhi—cough, cough, cough..."
Not here, not here.
The vestibule has been burned into an endless sea of flames. After searching every corner, Xie Lv thought to himself that he was really patient. He rushed in through the endless sea of flames of several rooms like that, and his body was not burnt anywhere?
Taking a closer look, even the clothes and boots are still in good condition!
This...is not reasonable.
Indeed, I ran all the way in and went back and forth from the fire several times, but I never felt very hot.But when I was outside the house before, I could feel the heat wave from such a distance, why did I come in instead...
Don't be afraid of fire after becoming a corpse?
Impossible, Mingming Wei Sanyi said that being burned to ashes is the only way for them to die.
Looking down, Xie Lu realized that there were several charms stuck to his chest.
Avoid, avoid fire talisman?
When fighting against the Fire Clan in Miaojiang, Ye Pu gave each of them multiple pieces of this fire-avoiding talisman.Of course Xie Lu didn't like to use the things Ye Pu gave him, he saved a lot and put them away, but Xun Changquan begged for them all.
Thinking about it this way, when he was about to enter the fire scene just now, Xun Chang seemed to pat him on the chest a few times during the pushing...
But what do I, what do I want this troublesome child for?
Xie Lv gritted his teeth, what's the point of avoiding fire if he can't find Ah Zhi——
The entire mansion was searched, but Ah Zhi was not found. Where would he be?Why do you want to trap yourself with fire from the sky, why are you so stupid?
... Ah Zhi, when he said it, was he really that stupid?
Could it be... that he had already escaped?
……
Xie Lu was standing in a sea of flames in a daze - who was stupid? !
Ruo Azhi had already left first, and deliberately set fire to the General's Mansion so that he would not turn back stupidly, but he ran into the fire and killed himself...
Doesn't it mean that if he does this, he will be chaotic if he cares about it, and he has completely failed the other party's deep meaning?
Will, will it be like this?
Ah Zhi, he has already escaped?
That's really the case, isn't it... that I'm being ridiculous?
no, don't care-
Xie Li shook his head.If Ah Zhi is really outside, it is probably safe.But if he really foolishly trapped himself in this sea of flames, then I have to find him!
Running past the woodshed, the ashes-filled bedroom, and the plum garden, to the bookstore on the water in the deepest part of the backyard, Xie Lu was out of breath, and suddenly saw the man sitting in the window reading a book.
He simply thought that he had read it wrong, rubbed his hands, it must be an illusion produced by impatience, right?
The fire outside the house is so dangerous, how could he be in the small pavilion in the water with a relaxed face——
"A paper!"
Breaking through the door, snatching the broken book he was reading, until he really grabbed the other's Weiliang's wrist, Xie Lv finally determined that all this was not because he was sleepwalking because of burnt out.
However, this is simply more absurd than a dream——
This book pavilion was built on the pond, it was the Liushang Qushui Pavilion of King Ning a long time ago, surrounded by water, although the fire could not burn out for a while, but looking around the courtyard on all sides, it was already full of flames.
So, Azhi, what are you... are you still doing slowly here?
Although this place is surrounded by water, it can only last for a while at most.If I don't come back, what will you do alone? !
"It's just...you're so stupid!"
Pulling him into his arms, Xie Lv only felt scared.
Fortunately, I made up my mind just now not to let go of a corner, otherwise, what if I thought that he had gone out safely by mistake, but left him here alone, what should I do? !
"You...really came back."
