Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 349
Chapter 349 Put One’s Life on the Line
It was getting darker and darker. After Rong Jin tied up the last thread of the golden cicada silk, he felt his eyelids beat faster and faster. It was as if something had escaped his control and was far away from his life.
His heart also gradually became a little more unstable.
Rong Jin turned his head and looked in the direction he had come from. However, where was the figure that made his soul dream? There was only a clean patch of land.
The moment he didn’t see the slender figure, Rong Jin’s heart was also beating faster. A sense of panic swept through Rong Jin. Ever since the incident when he was a child, he had never felt this panic before.
Rong Jin didn’t have time to think about it. He just wanted to go back early. Seeing that petite figure, how could she disappear?
Her foot was badly injured, so she couldn’t walk around freely. Otherwise, her foot would be crippled. Perhaps she was just going to pick up something and would be back soon!
Rong Jin kept convincing himself like this, then turned around and flew towards the place where he came from. It was useless to leave.
He was eager to see that little woman!
However, in the place where he had originally put Yun Xiao down, apart from a small bottle of medicine, there were no traces of Yun Xiao.
Rong Jin felt a faint pain in his heart. He squatted down and picked up the bottle. Only then did he realize that there was a few words written beside the bottle, “I’m leaving.”
Seeing these three words, Rong Jin felt dazzled in front of him. He knew every single word, but when they were together, he didn’t seem to understand the meaning of these three words.
Why? Why are you leaving?
I’ve clearly said that I won’t leave you behind. Why did you leave me behind?
Yun Xiao? Yun Xiao! Am I so untrustworthy to you?
Rong Jin clenched his hands tightly, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.
He suddenly sat up from the ground, his expression calm! However, in the depths of his eyes, there was a surge of fury!
When she saw this small bottle, Yun Xiao already understood Yun Xiao’s true intentions!
She was afraid of dragging herself down, so she left alone!
Rong Jin’s lips curled into a faint smile. That woman was too wise and firm. Why couldn’t she accept her kindness? He was not afraid that she would drag him down at all! On the contrary, he was happy!
Moreover, he was the one who brought her to such a dangerous place!
Rong Jin looked in the direction where Yun Xiao left. Because there was a faint trace of blood on the ground, he put the bottle in his arms first. If he couldn’t find Yun Xiao, he wouldn’t take the antidote!
Rong Jin chased after Yun Xiao along the way, destroying the traces left behind by Yun Xiao.
Not long after they left, they saw that the cavalry was about to chase after them. As the horse was running forward, it suddenly felt that something had sharply cut off its legs. Then, it fell forward, causing the people on the horse to fall off. Because of the pain, it looked up at the trombone.
Because the first group of people and horses fell, the horse behind them could not stop for a while because they were traveling too fast. Then, they followed closely and also crashed into the horse, then fell to the ground.
Batch after batch of horses fell down one after another. The people on the horses rolled a few times on the ground and fell to the ground. For a moment, the horses were thrown upside down, and the scene was chaotic.
Rong Jin glanced back. He finally lived up to Yun Xiao’s intentions and intercepted all of the horses. Afterwards, he no longer paid attention to the pursuers behind him and quickly followed Yun Xiao in the direction she left.
However, what made Rong Jin angry was that not long after he left, there were no traces of Yun Xiao. Even if he wanted to find Yun Xiao, he couldn’t find a way.
Her expression was extremely embarrassing. Why was it like this? Yunxiao, did you know that I would look for you, so you deliberately destroyed all traces!
You, how could you be like this!
Rong Jin had no other choice. He only knew that Yun Xiao had gone up the mountain and followed without any scruples!
The cavalry who had been thrown off their horses had never felt so embarrassed before. They had actually destroyed so many good horses in one go. This vengeance must be avenged!
Therefore, these people immediately abandoned their horses and ran quickly. They continued to chase after them. The pursuers that followed closely also followed them. When they saw Rong Jin ascend the mountain, they surrounded the entire mountain!
However, this mountain was extremely steep, and the other side just happened to be a cliff, so they only needed to surround three sides. They surrounded the third floor below the mountain, while the rest went up the mountain to search for Rong Jin and Yun Xiao’s whereabouts.
Yun Xiao dragged her injured foot. Every step she took was like walking on an ice blade. The pain was severe, but she did not regret it!
She didn’t want to be a weak and incompetent person who needed to rely on others to survive! She didn’t want to hand her life over to anyone else, especially Rong Jin. She owed him a lot. She didn’t want to drag him down. As long as she left, with Rong Jin’s ability, she would definitely be able to leave the Imperial Mausoleum alive!
Most importantly, she was afraid that because of Rong Jin’s gentleness, she would truly like Rong Jin. She was even more afraid that because of Rong Jin’s tenderness today, her entire heart would fall on Rong Jin.
He could only warn himself from the bottom of his heart that Rong Jin was a member of the royal family.
She definitely couldn’t fall in love with a royal person! He definitely couldn’t allow himself to fall into the miserable state of his previous life! We absolutely cannot let the Yun Clan die together!
In her previous life, she had relied on Zhou Jingyan to destroy the Yun Clan family, trampling her own biological child to death in front of her own father. She had been forcefully beaten to dozens of times. Marrying someone from the royal family to receive such a lesson was already enough!
She definitely couldn’t repeat the mistakes of the past!
In the end, she was still afraid!
She was afraid that Rong Jin would fall in love with her only for a moment, and would fall in love with other women like she did now. At that time, she would entrust a single pill with her heart, but she would not be able to take it back, and she would walk on the path of another lifetime.
The imperial family was so heartless, this sentence was something that had always been said since ancient times.
Even the widely circulated Emperor Cheng Zong relied on the support of his Yue Clan to obtain the throne. At that time, Emperor Cheng Zong was just a poor young man, but he was favored to marry him by the daughter of the first wife of an important official of the Imperial Court. Emperor Cheng Zong even spent ten years sleeping in the open with his wife!
Ten years later, after he sat down on the throne with the support of the Yue Clan, he personally issued a decree to kill his wife, who had worked hard with him for ten years, and even beheaded the Yue Clan in public!
Like it? Love? What was true? What she earned in return was the destruction of her family. In her previous life, she would never believe such a thing. However, after experiencing her previous life, Zhou Jingyan had already trampled all of her true heart and crushed all of her yearning for love!
She didn’t dare to entrust her life to him.
Furthermore, he didn’t dare to let a man who truly liked a power center end up with the same fate as in his previous life!
However, the days she spent with Rong Jin made her miss him and her uncertain heart slowly drew closer to him.
She would pay attention to Rong Jin’s every move from time to time. She would pay attention to Rong Jin from time to time. She would be moved by Rong Jin’s words that he would never abandon her. She would also be touched by Rong Jin giving his life to her.
She did not dare to continue to get along with Rong Jin. She was afraid that she would really lose all her heart to Rong Jin.
Now, she wanted to personally cut off all of her different feelings towards Rong Jin!
From now on, you are still Rong Jin, the eldest prince of Country of Xiyue, the future Yue Emperor! I am still Yun Xiao, the fourth young lady of Yun Clan, the biggest imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
This was enough!
However, why was there still a faint pain in his heart?
Yun Xiao looked at the sky. The stars in the sky weaved into the most beautiful flower scroll in the black night sky, making people yearn for it, making people miss it!
She couldn’t help but turn her head and whisper, “Rong Jin, aren’t those stars very beautiful?”
After saying those words, she suddenly woke up. She had already abandoned Rong Jin! Right now, she was the only one!
Yun Xiao regained her senses and walked forward step by step. She was very tired. She was almost powerless, and her feet were so painful that she did not dare to touch the ground.
However, she did not regret it. She bit her lips and teeth, and Yun Xiao tentatively placed her foot on the ground. The pain in her heart made Yun Xiao’s palm-sized face wrinkle!
However, she still gritted her teeth and walked forward bit by bit. Every time he walked for a while, he would not have the strength to rest for a while, and then bury all the traces he left behind.
After two hours, Yun Xiao finally reached the top of the mountain. She stood at the highest point of the mountain and could see an abyss that was bottomless.
She smiled, her smile carrying a trace of relief.
She opened her arms and allowed the night wind to blow on her body. The bone-piercing cold wind made Yun Xiao involuntarily tremble for a moment, but she did not regret it.
Gently closing his eyes, he was about to jump down.
However, a voice suddenly came from behind, “Xiaoxiao, don’t!”
Yun Xiao looked sideways and saw a moon-white figure not far away. His gentle face was filled with unconcealable anxiety. However, Yun Xiao smiled faintly, “Why are you here?” She had clearly erased all traces, but why did he still come?
Why did he chase after her even though she had returned the antidote to him? A little throbbing in her heart caused Yun Xiao’s expression to stiffen for an instant.
No, she can’t let her heart continue to sink!
Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao’s posture of stretching out his hand to jump down. He wanted to capture Yun Xiao back, but he didn’t dare to walk over. He was afraid that Yun Xiao would immediately jump down. “Hurry up and get down. I said I would take you away from here, so I will definitely take you away!”
Yun Xiao turned around, “Rong Jin, I know you promised me a lot of money, but I can’t die here with you so selfishly. Without me, you can definitely escape. You have your own way out, and I also have my own way out. However, my method is too dangerous. Don’t worry, I won’t die, I will live! I’ll see you in the capital! ”
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Rong Jin, closed her eyes, slid her foot down, and jumped down.
