General Shen once told Ershan that your brother being able to fight one against a hundred was no problem. But right now, he was not alone, with his wife and children by his side, and the dozens of people that came were experts, approaching menacingly with blade and sword, Ling Chaofeng was at a disadvantage, and very quickly got into a disadvantageous position.
Xiaowan only felt that the sky was turning dark as she hugged Little Pei tightly and was being pulled around by her husband. She did not know who it was, but they were being chased all the way and even though they were retreating, they had unknowingly been forced to the edge of the cliff.
During the battle, the opponent had already lost more than ten people, Ling Chaofeng's arm was also injured, he had snatched the sword from the enemy's hands, it's blade was stained with blood, protecting his wife and children behind him, it was filled with killing intent.
"Who sent you?" Ling Chaofeng's gaze was ice-cold, as he understood what was going on in his heart.
"You should understand."
"You want to kill me?"
"Think about it on your way to the Yellow Springs." The person shouted, commanding the rest of the people to charge forward, even if they could not defeat Ling Chaofeng, they had to force them to fall off the cliff and die.
Ling Chaofeng grabbed his wife and son and leapt away, the three of them rolled to the side. Ling Chaofeng's injured arm could not hold up anymore, and accidentally threw Xiaowan onto the ground.
Seeing his son rolling towards the cliff, Xiaowan shouted in shock and rushed forward. Seeing that he was in a situation where his son was about to fall, the people there immediately swung their swords at his back, Ling Chaofeng jumped up and stood behind her, and stabbed his sword into his abdomen.
"Hubby …"
In the distance, the horses were whinniing. Someone was riding their horses over, kicking up their hooves and kicking some of the men away. The tall figure jumped off the horses and began to fight with them.
"Zephyr, zephyr …" Xiaowan knelt beside Ling Chaofeng. There was a big hole in his stomach, and fresh blood continued to flow out. She took off her clothes crazily to cover it, but the clothes were quickly soaked in fresh blood.
"Don't let anything happen to you, Ling Chaofeng. Don't let anything happen to you." Xiaowan raised his blood-stained hands to wipe her tears. She was afraid that her tears were blurry, causing his to be unable to see his husband's face. Ling Chaofeng laid on the ground, blood flowing from his abdomen to his mouth.
"Who can save my husband? Who can save him …" Xiaowan cried loudly. He suddenly quivered and pulled his son over, using all his strength to pinch his butt. He forced his son to cry, forced his son to cry in order to save his father.
Little Pei cried in pain, his tears flowing as they fell, just like the Jade Ring s that did not test Ling Chaofeng's abilities previously. His son's tears could heal Xiaowan's wounds, but they were unable to stop Ling Chaofeng's blood.
After exchanging a dozen or so rounds, the remaining people seemed to have recognized Wei Tengfei, they looked at each other and quickly retreated.
Wei Tengfei originally wanted to chase after him, but when he heard the heart-wrenching wails of the Xiaowan, he rushed back.
Ling Chaofeng was lying on the ground, his entire body covered in blood. Wei Tengfei seemed to have understood something and clenched his fists tightly, to the point that his bones were about to shatter.
"Late …" Ling Chaofeng struggled to raise his hand and hold onto his wife's blood-stained face. He knew that he had reached his end and that was his last sentence.
"Husband, I'll go find a doctor. I'll go find a doctor to save you …" Xiaowan sobbed as she tightly blocked Ling Chaofeng's wound, but the blood could not be stopped.
"Late at night. In my next life, you have to wait for me by the river." Ling Chaofeng spat out a mouthful of blood and spoke with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, but I will be leaving first in this life."
"Don't leave, don't get off me, Zhaofeng, don't leave me behind …" Xiaowan did not care about blocking her husband's wound, and shakily picked him up, "I can't leave you alone, Chao Feng, don't leave me behind … …"
"I don't like you crying. Late at night, don't cry …" Ling Chaofeng looked up and saw Wei Tengfei standing there. His body was also stained with blood.
Ling Chaofeng was powerless to pursue the matter. Whether it was the people Wei Tengfei brought here, or the people who followed Wei Tengfei here, he knew that this man would take care of his wife in his place.
"Husband, don't die." Xiaowan held his face, she could not see anyone else in front of her.
"Late at night. In your next life, remember to wait by the river …"
"Hubby!" "Hubby!"
Ling Chaofeng's hands slowly fell and he closed his eyes, never opening them.
"Chao Feng, Ling Chaofeng, wake up, don't leave me behind …"
Xiaowan's crying echoed in the mountains. Even the birds and beasts in the mountains seemed to be shaken, and the spring air around them suddenly dimmed, as if the sky had fallen.
"Xiaowan, Xiaowan." Wei Tengfei walked over, touched Ling Chaofeng's nose, and sorrowfully told her, "He's dead."
Xiaowan's face was covered in blood. She carried her husband in a daze, staring at Wei Tengfei blankly. She coldly spat out a few words: "General Wei, is it you who brought him here?"
Wei Tengfei was startled. "No, Xiaowan, I came alone."
It was at this moment that seven to eight soldiers who were following Wei Tengfei had caught up.
Xiaowan looked at them mournfully, then looked at Wei Tengfei again: "General Wei, you can kill me too."
Wei Tengfei shook his head: "Xiaowan, it's not me, it's not someone I brought."
Xiaowan cried. "Wei Tengfei, kill me too!"
Suddenly, a strong gale arose, causing sand and rocks to fly in all directions. The sky and ground to turn dark, making it hard for one to open one's eyes.
Without further ado, Wei Tengfei carried Xiaowan and her son and ordered his subordinates to carry Ling Chaofeng's corpse. This place was close to a cliff and was extremely dangerous, he was really afraid that Xiaowan would leap down the next moment.
At the same time, in the capital a thousand miles away, the Empress was feeding the fishes while hugging her daughter. It was unknown if it was because of the sand that entered her eyes or some other reason, but Siyan was crying for no reason.
Her heart was in pain, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable. She slowly began to sob, and the daughter in her arms, seeing her crying, also cried with her. She hugged the baby, unable to stop her tears as she coaxed her daughter to not cry.
"Empress, what's wrong?" The wet nurse and the Palace Maid were all very worried as they surrounded him.
"I don't know either." Siyan wiped her tears and said helplessly, "I suddenly want to cry."
Palace Maid at the side said, "Empress, the Emperor has come."
Siyan hurriedly wiped away her tears. When the emperor walked closer, he could still see her reddened eyes and face that were covered with makeup. He naturally asked: "Why are you crying?"
"I don't know." Siyan shook her head, "I suddenly feel like crying, my heart is especially sad, I don't know why I feel so sad."
As she spoke, she shed tears again.
Xiang Run helplessly embraced her and said, "Did you miss your brother? Did you miss your hometown? We have already sent someone to pick up Wei Tengfei, and he will be coming to see you very soon. "
Wei Siyan laid on his chest. Although she was comforted in her heart, she understood that she was not missing her brother, nor was she missing her hometown.
Ling Chaofeng brought Xiaowan and Little Pei out, but he didn't come back even if it was this late. Although Ling Chaofeng had confirmed that the imperial court did not send any arrest warrant to hunt him down, she had always warned them to be careful when they went out.
"He's coming." The Uncle Biao said as he pointed to the small boat floating slowly towards them.
But, wherever the small boat went, the clear water would be dyed in red, and when they got closer, they saw that Xiaowan was covered in blood, Little Pei was seated at the side, and Ling Chaofeng was lying on the boat without moving.
"What happened?" Aunt Zhang's entire body tensed up, and she forcefully grabbed her husband's hand.
Behind Xiaowan, there was a boat with four to five people on it. The leader stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, staring at the Xiaowan who narrowed his eyes and said, "General Wei?"
Seeing Ling Chaofeng covered in blood and lying lifelessly in the boat, while the Xiaowan's eyes were gloomy, as if she couldn't see them at all. She only dragged her husband and said, "Hubby, we're home."
"Zephyr!" Aunt Zhang cried. She already understood that this child was dead.
She had personally witnessed the death of the child of a man who had grown up to be an indomitable man.
"Morning Wind …"
Sobbing and crying echoed within the gorge. Just a few days ago, this place was still a paradise, and it was still filled with cheers and laughter. In the blink of an eye, the sky and earth shattered.
Wei Tengfei, who had followed him, was not welcomed by anyone. He wanted his subordinates to clean up for Ling Chaofeng and was forced out the door with a broom. She closed the door and did not let anyone in, nor did he want to see anyone.
The crying Aunt Zhang gradually calmed down and walked towards Wei Tengfei. The elder's sharp eyes forced Wei Tengfei to feel weak, and he said: "He is not one of the people I brought."
Aunt Zhang asked: If it wasn't you, then who was it?
Wei Tengfei's men had already gone to check on the assassins that were killed, but they couldn't find any mark of someone that was subordinate to them.
The world might not know it, but Wei Tengfei was still a soldier. He understood very clearly that from the Great Emperor to the current emperor, he had a secret organization that was formed from a top tier assassins.
They came and went without a trace, slaughtering people without a care for right or wrong, and only killed the people the Emperor wanted them to kill.
At this moment, the Aunt Zhang asked with a hoarse voice, "Is it the Emperor?"
Wei Tengfei clenched his fists tightly: "If it's the emperor, I can only say that it's Ling Chaofeng's fault for knowing too much of the imperial government's secrets."
The Aunt Zhang scoffed, "He really is a good emperor … What did the two of them give birth to? "
Wei Tengfei did not know of the feud between the Aunt Zhang and her wife, so he had naturally heard these strange words. At the moment, he cared more about the Xiaowan, worrying that the Xiaowan would follow after him.
There were occasional sounds in the room, but no crying. He watched her with concern and murmured, "Could she be upset?"
The sky slowly darkened. In the house, Xiaowan had already cleaned up Ling Chaofeng's clothes and helped him put on his clothes. She had also finished packing up, she did not want Hubby to see her in such a sorry state.
Xiaowan sat on the bedside and used a comb to comb her husband's hair. Tears flowed unknowingly, but her expression looked very calm.
She said: "Ershan has not been promoted to the top scholar yet, has not become a high official, and has not married Miss Meng. The child in Susu's stomach has not been born yet, if it's a daughter, then she'll be our daughter-in-law. Young master, when we left, there were some debts that had not been settled yet, right? Others owe us, forget it, we will definitely repay the debts that we paid elsewhere. "
After combing Ling Chaofeng's hair, she laid his head down lightly on her husband's chest. Under the teardrops, she forced a smile, "My husband's body feels warm, it's so comfortable."
The pain of tens of thousands of arrows piercing his heart, pain that was worse than death, pain that could not be compared with the pain of skin and flesh. Mu Xiaowan felt that she no longer had any meaning to live, and her sky had collapsed.
"Late, late, late …"
Ling Chaofeng gasped in shock, then suddenly opened his eyes. Smoke rose in spirals, and a light muslin fluttered about.
He sat up. There was a white jade bed underneath him and everything around him was carved in jade.
Ling Chaofeng saw a woman slowly walking over with a bottle in her hands. Their gazes met, and Ling Chaofeng's mind was in a whirl as he experienced life and death in the process. His heart suddenly trembled, and he blurted out, "Muhou?"
"Chaofeng, you're awake?" The woman had a head full of black hair, and her face was pretty. However, the last time Ling Chaofeng had seen her, her hair was completely white, and she begged the evil tyrant to let go of her daughter-in-law.
"Muhou, so it was you who gave the Xiaowan the Jade Ring?" Ling Chaofeng stood up and rushed towards his mother, "It's you?"
Just as he finished speaking, several men rushed in from outside. Seeing that he had woken up, they all said: "You're finally awake. Your soul is actually wrapped around a lover. No matter what, you won't be able to call it back."
The other said, "Third brother, for you, we were forced to run around for you by the Queen Mother, but you still couldn't escape your fate. This is over, go obediently and squat in the great hall. We'll pick you up a thousand years later. "
The woman said angrily: "Shut up, all of you step back. I have something to say to Chaofeng."
Everyone shrugged, walked up and patted Ling Chaofeng's back, then disappeared into the wind.
He followed his brothers to the front door. Seeing the smoke rising from the fairyland, all of Ling Chaofeng's memories came back to life.
The nine sons of the dragon, the prisoner Niu, Ya Ming, Feng Ji, Pu Prison, Suan Ni, Bibi, Bi'an, Xie Bi, and Jiao Qing, he was Xing San's scoffing wind, and was one of the most respected princes of the dragon clan.
However, 500 years ago, when he was chasing down the demons, he accidentally injured a mortal and was demoted to the cycle of reincarnation. He had to do all sorts of good deeds for the world to be able to return to the Heaven Realm.
This life was none other than his ninth life. If he achieved great completion, he would be able to return to the throne.
The woman was Ling Chaofeng's mother, the Dragon Queen of Dragon Clan. She had calculated that in this life, her son would not be able to achieve perfection, would commit murder again, and in the end, wouldn't be able to return to his position. He would be sent to the emperor's palace to be a guardian beast of the mortal world.
"I turned the scale on my chest into a Jade Ring and gave it to Mu Xiaowan. I had originally wanted to turn all your hostility towards her." Dragon mother helplessly smiled and brought her son to the mirror.
In the mirror, he could see that Xiaowan was igniting a raging fire to cremate her dead husband.
Dragon Mother said, "Every wish she made was made by your brothers who ran off for you, but in the end, she still screwed it up. She's your sinner. "Son, tomorrow, you must go to the palace in the mortal world and guard the palace as the ruler of the world. You will only be able to return after a thousand years."
Ling Chaofeng looked at the Heaven Mirror and looked at Xiaowan. She seemed to be within reach, but she was thousands of miles away.
