Chapter 694 Knowing something you shouldn’t know

 Yang Yunhui sent her a letter before going to Dongzhou?

I looked at Yang Jinqiao in surprise: "What was written in the letter?"

Yang Jinqiao's face looked a little gloomy. Although it was still calm, it gave people a dangerous aura that a storm was about to come. She said slowly: "The letter said that he just came out of Xichuan because the emperor summoned him."

, we have to rush to Dongzhou."

"..." There is nothing wrong with this.

"He told me that he would come back immediately after the incident in Dongzhou is over."

"..."

"Abandon all responsibilities on his hands and come back."

"...!"

My heart skipped a beat.

I had previously heard about Yang Jinqiao's death, and also heard that Yang Yunhui had resigned as commander of the Imperial Guard and left the capital. I also found it strange. After all, he was Pei Yuanhao's best friend. His master had become famous, so it was really strange for him to leave just like that. But later I also found out

, he did not really leave, but was transferred to Xichuan by Pei Yuanhao to investigate some matters.

Thinking about it now, a large part of what they do as "brother and sister" is indeed for the two of them to stay together, but Yang Yunhui is a man after all and has his own ambitions, so he will continue to be used by Pei Yuanhao. Later, he worked in Yangzhou Huangtian

The appearance of Ba's residence also confirms this, that is to say, even if he has a family and a career, he still has the ambition of a good man to rule the country and bring peace to the world.

However, in that letter, he said that he would put down all responsibilities and go back.

Even if the war in Dongzhou was settled, it did not mean that the world was settled. There were thugs in the south and many swordsmen in Xishu. That was the time to employ people, and it was also the time for people like him to show their ambitions, but he had to put down his responsibilities and leave.

His leaving like this feels more like an escape to me.

However, he was a step too late.

The matter in Dongzhou is not over yet, but he has stayed in Shengjing forever.

At this time, I suddenly recalled that day, when he and I were still locked in the dungeon of Shengjing Palace. Later, he was suddenly taken away and left for a long time. When he came back, he told me

, it’s Huang Tianba who wants to see him.

I still don't know what they talked about when they met, but when he came back that time, he became very strange. He looked outside in uncharacteristic silence. Then, he entrusted me with the golden hairpin and told me many things.

At that time, I felt that he was entrusting me with him on his deathbed.

Now that I think about it, he knew it all along.

His death seemed to have been expected by him. The only difference was whose hands he died in. Huang Tianba killed him because he wanted to use his own life to save hundreds of captives. That was Huang Tianba's death.

Tianba had no choice but to make a choice, and Yang Yunhui would die without hesitation because he already knew that he was going to die!

Even if you don’t die in Shengjing, you can’t return to the Central Plains!

Therefore, he told me that he did not expect that he himself would also be counted.

Thinking of this, my expression suddenly changed.

Yang Jinqiao kept looking at me, and when he saw my face slowly turning pale and cold, he immediately said: "Do you know something? Tell me quickly!"

"..."

"Did he say anything to you before he died? What happened?"

The wind blowing from the center of the lake brought an increasing chill, penetrating my thin clothes. I clutched the corners of my skirt tightly, my fingers still spasming uncontrollably.

Did Yang Yunhui know something that he shouldn't know, so someone wants to silence him?

Recalling that letter, he passed it to Yang Jinqiao just after leaving Xichuan...

I shivered.

Yang Jinqiao's face showed an anxious look, and he grabbed my wrist hard: "What on earth did you think of? Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly!"

"..." I suddenly came back to my senses, looked at the eager look on her face, and said with a slight trembling: "I, I remembered what he said to me before he died."

"What words?!"

"He said, if I can leave Dongzhou and see you, I must tell you - not to avenge him."

Yang Jinqiao lost her voice and said: "What?!"

She stood up suddenly, with a gust of wind blowing the white gauze next to her even more messy. I don't know if it was because of her confusion, but the people around her also gradually moved. Several guards standing on the outermost edge moved forward in unison.

Go.

The wind is blowing faster and faster.

I stood up slowly, looked into Yang Jinqiao's angry eyes, and said calmly: "This is the last thing he said to me."

"..."

"He walked very quickly, but he didn't suffer much pain. The only thing he cared about before he died was you."

"..."

"He said that I must tell you not to avenge him... but to forget him."

"..."

"This is his last wish."

Yang Jinqiao's face, which was originally red with anger, became a little pale at this moment, but the corners of his eyes slowly turned red, and there was a flash of light in his eyes that was almost blown away by the biting wind. This is the first time I have seen,

This woman who spoke uprightly for me in Shangyang Palace, pointed out the way forward, and showed such a fragile side. I stepped forward, held her cold hands, and said seriously: "I know that what I said actually means nothing."

It's useless. You can't let it go after so many years. So you won't be able to listen to the idea that the dead are dead and the living are like this. But what I want to tell you is - this matter is not as simple as you think.



"..."

"You have arranged people in the palace, and you still have the guardsmen he left for you, but they are not enough. They are not enough."

Yang Jinqiao said nothing, but looked at me with red eyes.

The wind blew for a while and then stopped. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, but that kind of quietness seemed a bit uneasy in such a valley. None of the people who had just walked out seemed to have come back. The guards whispered a few words in a low voice,

A few more people walked towards the trail outside the valley.

"He doesn't want you to avenge him. That's not what he wants. Even-" I took a deep breath and gritted my teeth and said, "When Huang Tianba killed him, he was very calm."

Yang Jinqiao looked at me with wide eyes.

"He already knows many things. I don't know if he regrets it, but whether it's worth it or not, when a person dies, everything returns to zero."

"..."

"He even wants you to forget about him, which means you have to start over."

"..."

"You——"

Before I finished speaking, several guards around me who seemed to be of higher rank suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Madam, something is wrong."

Yang Jinqiao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "What?"

"It seems like - we have to leave."

Yang Jinqiao looked around, and I looked around too. They should have found this place temporarily to accommodate me. I guess it's not too far from the official road. In order to facilitate her asking me, but now here all of a sudden

It became quiet, not only did the wind stop, but it seemed that even the birds in the mountains disappeared, leaving only an uneasy calm.

Yang Jinqiao looked up and seemed to be sensitive to something. He subconsciously took a step back, suddenly looked at me again, and stretched out his hand towards me: "You and I -"

Before I finished speaking, I heard the wind blowing!

At the other end of the valley, dozens of bows and arrows were flying towards us. Before I even had time to turn my head to look, I felt a cold light flash in front of my eyes, and an arrow flew past Yang Jinqiao's wrist.

, plunged into the soil next to it!

Someone is going to hunt us down!

Suddenly, the surrounding guards all turned around and ran towards this side, shouting loudly as they ran: "Protect Madam!"

"Protect Madam quickly!"

Amidst the shouting, more bows and arrows flew down, and they were pierced on several wooden pillars around me. I was so frightened that my face turned pale, and I quickly turned around and retreated. Yang Jinqiao was already protected by several close guards.

He stood back and said loudly to me: "Yue Qingying, come here!"

"..."

At this moment, I was in the rain of arrows, my eyes were red, but I saw those people protecting her and retreating safely, and there were already people running towards here from the other side of the valley.

I gritted my teeth, turned around and ran to the other side.

Yang Jinqiao's voice sounded loudly behind him: "Come back, don't—!"

I didn't listen to her. My ears were filled with the sound of bows and arrows whizzing by. Several of them missed my heels and shot down. At this moment, I completely lost the room to think. I only had one thought - run!

Get out of here and don't get caught by anyone!

My destination is not a place anyone wants to take me to. There is only one place I want to go, and that is by Li'er's side!

Thinking of Li'er, a surge of strength surged out of my weak and uncomfortable body. I gritted my teeth and ran forward desperately. The mess behind me had become a mess and I couldn't control it at all. When I saw that I had passed a mound, something appeared in front of me.

I was so happy to see the dense woods, I gritted my teeth and rushed with all my strength, and plunged into the woods.

My rapid breathing was accompanied by a dull pain in my chest, and my heartbeat was pounding in my ears. I no longer remember how long I had been running, but the chaotic sounds were far behind me, but I still felt like a frightened rabbit.

, running non-stop.

I don’t know how long I ran, but my physical strength became weaker and weaker. I felt that my feet gave out and I fell down immediately.

I fell to the ground and was thrown far away. My eyes were so painful that I felt like all the bones in my body were about to break. Even though I gritted my teeth, I couldn't help but moan.

It was very quiet in the woods, and the thick grass leaves under me gave me some thoughts of resting. I lay on the ground and looked at my hands that were bruised and bruised. Maybe because of the pain, my vision was a little blurry.

Get up.

No, I can't pass out!

I must get up as soon as possible, enter Yangzhou as soon as possible, and find Li'er as soon as possible.

Just when I wanted to push myself up and get up, the world started spinning again. I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and fainted.
