A brilliant and peerless image of his generation was reborn on the day of his title.
"It's a pity to be an official with such a beautiful appearance."
In his previous life, because of these words, Fu Yong had cut off Du Beichen's path as Crown Prince in a fit of rage, and both of them hated each other to death.
This time, his eyes were gloomy, and he only smiled: "Does Your Highness want to introduce yourself as a pillow?"
Ning Yunkang blocked Ye Jinsu's path. His face was flushed red from the extreme speed and he said unsteadily, "What are you doing!"
"I'll go find him." Ye Jinsu looked at him, her voice calm but firm.
Her eyes were very calm. It was not because she was impulsive towards her vital energy and blood, nor was it because she had made a decision while her mind was still muddled.
She really had to do this.
Ning Yunquan tightened his grip on the reins, turned his head, and let out a heavy sigh. He couldn't help but shout at her, "It's been two months. Just accept the truth. Sixteenth Brother won't be able to come back!"
"So I'm going to bring him back." Ye Jinsu looked at him with a layer of frost covering her face. She drew the sword from her waist and pointed it at the person in front of her. "I'm going to bring his corpse back."
Ning Yunquan's expression suddenly turned painful. He lowered his head and fiercely cursed in his heart.
"Don't stop me. Even if I can't find him, I can still come back." Ye Jinsu looked at her and began to lead the horse around Ning Yunquan.
Ning Yunhai stood in place without moving. Instead, he tightly clenched his fists.
Ye Jinsu looked at the road in front of her and sped up.
Lady Shu rushed to the city gates and saw a scene like this. Ning Yun Kuangzheng was riding on a horse alone, but Ye Jinsu was already nowhere to be seen.
A month's journey was not as long as he had expected. When Ye Jinsu arrived at Huaiping, he hadn't felt like a month had passed. She had been traveling for a month, either on the road or planning her route.
He had seen the mountains and rivers along the way. He had seen quite a few families.
He only felt that his heart was empty.
Occasionally, when she thought of Ning Yunyin, she felt that time passed exceptionally quickly. Occasionally, she thought that he really was already dead, but she also felt that time passed especially slowly.
Fortunately, it was best if he managed to safely arrive at Huaiping.
This place had just gone through a war and was in a state of disrepair.
Ye Jinsu found an inn to stay at. The waiter could tell with a glance that Ye Jinsu was an outsider. However, in their crappy place, they had just finished the battle and everyone was in a hurry to leave. They did not expect that there would be outsiders.
"Is this little brother here to look for relatives?" The second brother saw that Ye Jinsu's clothes were out of the ordinary, so he tried to get close to her and chat with her.
Ye Jinshu had changed into a man's outfit. He looked like a scholar with a white face, which was quite eye-catching in this small shop where even a sparrow could be seen.
Ye Jinsu did not answer, but instead asked, "Which way do we go during the battle at Huai Ping?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He estimated that they had only fought for a few months, but someone wanted to make a trip to that place?
Could it be that a family member was on the battlefield, searching for his corpse?
The waiter looked at Ye Jinsu's pale and red lips and advised with some hesitation, "Customer, you don't know about this. The battle did not last long, and all the corpses were lying on the ground.
"Guest, you shouldn't go."
The place was littered with bodies that had been rotting and reeking for months. Someone had set it up to burn once, but with such a large area and the corpses of hundreds of thousands of people, where could it be cleaned up cleanly?
It was still littered with broken limbs and rotten internal organs.
No one wanted to go there.
"It's fine. Just tell me which way to go." Ye Jinxiu didn't say much, but her expression didn't change much. She only repeated the same question.
The waiter had no choice but to point out a path for him. "Walk straight over a mountain and you'll reach the location of the battle."
Ye Jinsu nodded and placed a few coins on the table before heading in that direction.
She could finally see the place where he had fought.
However, he hadn't even climbed over the mountain yet. Ye Jinxiu was only standing on the mountain peak, yet she could already see the ruins of a great wall at the foot of the mountain. Banners and swords were scattered all over the place, the ground was soaked in fresh blood, and for the past three months, they had not faded at all.
Countless corpses of different kinds of clothes were stacked on top of each other, each of them was filled with rotten maggots. Large swathes of corpse flies were hovering in the air.
Skulls could be seen everywhere, and eyeballs rolled everywhere.
A rancid smell rose into the sky.
Desperate and devastated.
Ye Jinsu grasped the reins tightly and suddenly squatted down, trembling all over. Despair was like the cold and harsh wind of autumn, blowing into one of her bones and wantonly flowing through her body.
Ye Jinxiu suddenly covered her mouth and silently began to cry.
After a long while, Ye Jinsu stood up from the ground and wiped away the cold tears on her face. She held onto Lingshuang as they traversed the crimson battlefield, looking for the cliff that Ning Yunyin was rumored to have fallen over.
From here, the bottom couldn't be seen.
Ye Jinsu grabbed the reins and went straight to the bottom of the cliff. It was the same plain below him. He could see everything with a single glance. There was no need to search for it.
Surrounding him was a dense forest.
As Ye Jinsu stood at the bottom of the cliff, she once again felt despair. Without him, it was as if there was no one else in the world, disappearing without a trace.
Ye Jinxiu reached out her hand to touch Lingshuang, who was standing beside her, and asked in a choked voice, "Where do you think he is?"
Lingshuang did not answer, only rubbing her face against him time and time again.
After a long while, Ye Jinsu sniffed and said, "If his corpse isn't here, it means that he might have been saved, right?"
Naturally, Lingshuang did not reply.
However, Ye Jinsu knew that there would be worse results.
It was not impossible for a person to fall from such a high height and be taken away after fainting in the jaws of a wild wolf.
But Ye Jinsu didn't believe it.
She did not believe that Ning Yunxiao would end up in such a miserable state.
He has the ambition of the whole world.
Unknowingly, the night had turned darker.
Ye Jinsu looked at the sky and felt that it might not be safe if she continued to stay here. It was just that in the deep darkness of the night, a few low and deep cries could be heard in the forest.
If he wanted to return to the top of the cliff, he would have to pass through the forest in front of him.
However, in the forest, there was clearly something dangerous waiting for Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jin Sura held onto the reins, vigilantly staring at the front. The flexible sword at his waist had already been unsheathed.
From the sound of it, there was only one wolf. It seemed that it had already discovered Ye Jinsu, but it didn't call for its companion.
This was the best time. He could not sit still and wait for death.
Ye Jinsu dismounted from her horse, tied Lingshuang to a rock, and silently entered the woods with her sword in hand. The forest was even darker, and he could barely make out anything.
Ye Jinxiu held her breath and walked step by step towards the wolf.
The sharp blade in his hand emitted a cold light, and Ye Jinsu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
When the atmosphere had reached its peak, Ye Jinsu suddenly squinted and stabbed forward with the dagger in her hand. Unexpectedly, the wolf didn't choose to pounce and instead ran towards Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jinxiu's sword hit nothing but air as she dodged his claw and turned around to strike again.
Fast, accurate, ruthless.
A sharp scream rang out.
Ye Jinxiu suddenly frowned, because the scream was not made by a wolf, but a woman's voice. The sound echoed through the forest, lingering for a long time.
Ye Jinxiu turned her head and saw a girl who looked like she was in her fifties running towards the wolf.
"Be careful!" Ye Jinsu's face tightened and was about to stop her.
And in the next second, the girl pounced on the wolf and asked with a sorrowful and worried expression, "Little Black... "Little Black, what's wrong with you …"
Ye Jinxiu: "?"
"Little Black, are you alright?" The girl looked at the wound on the wolf's claw and immediately tore off the fabric from her dress and began to bandage it.
The originally vicious wolf was now like a large dog, lying motionless on the ground.
A meek, pitiful appearance.
Ye Jinxiu: "?"
