Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 563
Chapter 563 Regenerative Variable
The sound of the horse rustling on the leaves was getting closer and closer …
Yun Xiao was constantly calculating in her heart that Zhou Jingyan would arrive in front of her in a few steps, getting closer …
As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, Yun Xiao’s heart calmed down instead. She placed her hand on the small bottle of poison and waited for Zhou Jingyan to come over.
At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly heard a guard shouting not far away, “Your Highness, this way!”
Immediately after, the sound of horse hooves stopped.
Yun Xiao inevitably let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, someone lightly tapped on his shoulder, and Yun Xiao realized that his body could no longer move.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and cry out, he smelled the familiar fragrance of the Magnolia Flower. At this moment, his heart actually calmed down. He raised his head and looked at Rong Jin in front of him. There was already some strange emotion in Yun Xiao’s Gujing Wubo’s eyes.
Their eyes met. Neither of them spoke. Rong Jin reached out to hug Yun Xiao’s waist and hugged her in his arms. With the big tree’s wide body, Rong Jin lightly tapped Yun Xiao on the ground and quickly climbed up the tree. With the luxuriant leaves, the two of them entered the top layer of the tree leaves and borrowed strength from the branches. Not long later, they were already a distance away from Zhou Jingyan.
On the other side, Zhou Jingyan was shouted by the guards. He turned around and looked back. Who knew that the guards would only shoot an arrow at a rabbit?
A dangerous arc appeared in his eyes. He turned around again and drove the horse forward. However, after circling the tree, there was still nothing. Zhou Jingyan’s face revealed a cold light. At that moment, he seemed to have seen a person here. Furthermore, that person felt a little familiar. If what he had guessed was correct, it must be Yun Xiao. But now, there was nothing behind the tree.
Could it be that he had seen wrongly?
Zhou Jingyan didn’t want to believe it. He immediately got off his horse and swept away all the leaves beside the tree roots. As expected, there were two deep footprints beneath the leaves.
This footprint fully showed that there was indeed someone here just now. Furthermore, judging from the size of this footprint, it was clearly similar to the footprints on the open space before.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyan was sure that Yun Xiao had indeed been here, but he didn’t know where she was going.
A dense killing intent flashed through his eyes. He turned around and looked at the guard who had just exclaimed out loud. He sternly said, “Someone, drag him out and kill him!”
The guard naturally didn’t dare to object. Even if someone wanted to pull the guard, the guard didn’t know what he had done wrong. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. However, Zhou Jingyan was very irritated. When he heard the begging, he was even angrier. Seeing that the guard was only trying to drag people along, no one took the initiative to step forward and coldly snorted, “What are you still waiting for?” Are you waiting for me to personally take action? ”
When the guard saw this, he understood that Zhou Jingyan had really made such a decision. He didn’t dare to disobey. He directly covered the man who was begging for mercy on the knees and dragged him away. However, the man’s strength was also very great. He was stalled by others and constantly struggled.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingyan immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and walked over quickly. He raised it high up and when he landed, the sword was stained with blood. The man’s head had already rolled on the ground a few times.
The scene happened so quickly that many people did not react
At this moment, they saw the blood on Zhou Jingyan’s sword and revealed a look of horror. However, after all, they had stayed by Zhou Jingyan’s side for a very long time. Very quickly, they concealed the emotions in their hearts.
Among them, one of them said to the stunned crowd, “What are you all still standing there for? This person has committed an offence below him, has no law in his eyes, and even regards His Highness’ words as nothing. His Highness killed him as his luck. Shouldn’t we quickly deal with him? Wait for His Highness to personally take action?”
The reprimanded guard naturally didn’t dare to say anything. He immediately respectfully agreed. In the blink of an eye, the corpse of the dead guard was naturally cleaned up.
If there wasn’t a pool of blood left on the ground, no one would have known that a person had just died here.
Zhou Jingyan felt very comfortable when he saw all the guards daring to be angry but not to say anything.
He had always been observing the expressions of the Jin Emperor, the Empress, the concubines, the Crown Prince, and other powerful princes who had the support of their mother’s clan. But now, all the people who wanted to see their faces had been killed by him, and he had also become the target of everyone’s flattery.
Everyone even needed to look at his face and act.
This made Zhou Jingyan feel very comfortable, both physically and mentally.
Seeing that everyone was more obedient to him, Zhou Jingyan’s mood finally improved. “Quickly search for Yun Xiao and the Swallow King of West Vietnam. They are nearby!”
‘”Your Highness, don’t worry, this subordinate will definitely do everything in his power.”
Zhou Jingyan waved his hand and everyone rushed towards the surroundings.
Zhou Jingyan threw the sword in his hand to the general guarding the city beside him and said coldly, “Wipe it clean.”
The general respectfully took the sword in Zhou Jingyan’s hand and wiped it with his clothes. Then, he took out his handkerchief and wiped it clean before handing it over to Zhou Jingyan.
Zhou Jingyan accepted the longsword with satisfaction. His pair of sharp eyes swept through the depths of the forest, and then he sat down in the temporary room that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao had built.
…
Rong Jin hugged Yun Xiao and stopped half a kilometer away from Zhou Jingyan.
After removing the acupoints on Yun Xiao’s body, the two of them sat on a tree trunk. From this angle, they could see all the scenes of the simple house they had built earlier.
Of course, Yun Xiao was able to clearly see how Zhou Jingyan killed the guards. Although Rong Jin wanted to hold her in his arms and not let her see her, Rong Jin refused.
She had experienced even worse scenes than this, let alone these scenes.
Her eyes were burning as she stared at the complacency on Zhou Jingyan’s face when he was respected by the crowd. Gu Jingbo’s calm eyes were filled with disdain and disdain.
He had only just obtained the throne when he couldn’t wait to swear his rights.
Such a person, she was actually able to truly recognize his true face at the end of her life.
Hate only hate oneself is a person is not clear, the last life was more emotional blurred mind, simply did not see the true face of Zhou Jingyan.
Such a selfish person, how could he think about others? Back then, he was even more important, but now, he would probably be cleared away bit by bit from his side, right? In this way, they wouldn’t let anyone know his true colors, and they would even hide their humble feelings from him back then and help him.
Yun Xiao could already see what was going to happen in the near future.
However, now that the war between Country of Xiyue and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was imminent, Zhou Jingyan would most likely delay dealing with those people. Now, he was only using the guards beside him to open his saber to achieve his true appearance of intimidating the crowd.
Yun Xiao looked at the guards and hidden guards around Zhou Jingyan with a faint worry in her eyes.
Rong Jin naturally knew the true face of Zhou Jingyan clearly. Looking at Yun Xiao’s expression, he understood what Yun Xiao was thinking. A large hand with distinct joints landed on Qing Ge’s small hand, conveying his current concern.
Yun Xiao raised her eyes to look at Rong Jin beside her, her heart warming slightly. In this life, she could finally draw a clear line between herself and Zhou Jingyan.
She stared tentatively into Rong Jin’s eyes and whispered, “If, I said, I have a grudge against Zhou Jingyan, do you believe me?”
Rong Jin stared into Yun Xiao’s eyes. He didn’t say anything for a long time, but no one knew. At this moment, his heart was in a state of turmoil, and there was a trace of faint shock in his black eyes.
If it was really like what Yun Xiao had just said, and she had a sworn grudge against Zhou Jingyan, then everything could be explained clearly. Why did Yun Xiao always gritted her teeth every time something related to Zhou Jingyan happened?
Seeing that Rong Jin hadn’t spoken for a long time, Yun Xiao thought that he didn’t believe in her and laughed self-mockingly. No one would believe such a mysterious thing. Why would she force Rong Jin?
Just as he was about to say that he didn’t need Rong Jin to answer, he heard Rong Jin whisper, “I believe you. However, I’m a little curious as to why you have a grudge with Zhou Jingyan.”
Yun Xiao did not expect Rong Jin to say that. She smiled and said softly, “There are some things that I wanted to tell you, but I don’t know how to tell you.”
“Then there’s no hurry. I just hope that you don’t hide anything from me. The most important thing between husband and wife is to be honest.” Rong Jin pretended to be indifferent and said. Seeing that there was dew dripping onto Yun Xiao’s body, he stretched out his hand and lightly flicked it.
At this moment, an apology arose in Yun Xiao’s heart. Rong Jin had now revealed everything about him in front of him. However, she was still hiding everything from him. She knew that he had doubts, but the higher-ups had never told him.
Yun Xiao was slightly shaken, wanting to tell Rong Jin everything about herself. However, at this moment, she smelled a burnt smell from her nose.
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, “In this dense forest, it just rained, how could it have the smell of burning?”
Rong Jin furrowed his brows and looked around. He saw that all the dead trees in the northwest corner of the forest were on fire, and the raging fire was rushing towards him bit by bit.
As Rong Jin looked over, Yun Xiao also saw the big fire burning. Her expression was a little peculiar, “How could there be a fire over there? Didn’t it just rain?”
“Look over there,” Rong Jin pointed in a direction with an embarrassed expression. “There are always some dead trees piled up over there. Even if it rains, it’s easy to ignite them.”
Yun Xiao’s mind was buzzing. She could not hear what Rong Jin had said. Instead, she stared in the other direction.
