The Words of the Number One - Chapter 73

When we fled in the carriage, Ji Yu’s condition was already not very good, he vomited blood several times, and his mind was a little blurred. Bi Lu hastily checked his pulse, but felt that he was weak but couldn’t find out the reason.

Ji Yu was leaning on my shoulder, his shirt was covered with blood, he waved his hands weakly, and said, “It’s the formation that backfires… I don’t have any medicine to support myself.”

I asked him in a low voice, “Why?”

When the formation was activated, I wanted to ask him what he sacrificed, but he hissed me not to ask. I never thought that he would sacrifice himself. So selfish and smart people, people who make fun of the princes and nobles from all walks of life, people who are used to taking advantage of others, how could they think of sacrificing themselves?

Ji Yu laughed softly, and said lightly: “Since I want to retire, I can’t… go back to the old way. I’m… very serious.”

Hearing this, I clenched his hand tightly, and he buried his head in my shoulder and said slowly: “The antidote is in your jade pendant, and there is an empty space in the middle… there is a note on it.”

The jade pendant around my waist is glowing with warmth, and I’ve been wearing it all this time. This is the first gift Jiyu gave me in Fanguo. I used to be a money changer and was redeemed by him.

…he gave me the antidote from the very beginning?

I was suddenly a little confused, Ji Yu’s good and evil seemed to be contradictory, yet blurred into one.

He hugged my shoulders weakly, and the voice buried in my neck was muffled, only the two of us could hear it clearly.

“I can guess this situation… Do you still remember when I said that I never thought about what I would do after my revenge… because my original idea was to die with the emperor. I have already become a villain like him for revenge… Then Why should he want to destroy the country and die, but I can be safe and sound?”

“I know that I have always been attached to you. If you can live well without me, you would be very happy if you married Shen Baiwu back then. If I can’t make it through, you…”

He couldn’t continue talking, because I pushed him away and slapped him, Mo Xiao almost jumped up and was pulled down by Xia Wan.

Ji Yu looked at me in a daze, I grabbed Ji Yu’s blood-stained skirt and said in a trembling voice: “You asked me to believe you, you can’t lie to me.”

“you…”

“I’ll protect you, so you have to get through.”

I saw my tears falling on his clothes, spreading into dark flowers along with the blood.

Ji Yu blinked, the sunlight fell on his face through the uncovered window of the carriage, it was just a vertical light, his amber eyes were like shallow Huadiao wine in the light.

He whispered: “You tell the truth, can you live well without me?”

Everything, all the days of escaping and entanglement without him came one after another. There were so many times when I tried to leave my life without him, but he dragged me back abruptly.

But I shook my head and said, “No.”

I know I’m telling the truth.

Ji Yu spat out another mouthful of blood, and before his eyes lost sight, he hugged me and said—OK, then I will live for you.

A month later, in a border town at the junction of Song and Fan countries.

I folded the quilt and pushed open the door to walk down the steps in the corridor. A passing boy saluted me with a water basin. I lived in this inn for three days, and the boy had already become familiar with me. When he saw that I wanted to go downstairs, he pulled me over and said softly: “Mrs. Ye, don’t go down. You weirdo, go down and get in trouble.”

I showed a surprised look and said, “Miaojiang weirdo? What do you do?”

The young man raised his palms to his mouth and said mysteriously: “The corpse hunters are eerie. These things in Miaojiang are the most evil, and the patrolling officers and soldiers walked around them. Oh, look at those officers and soldiers before It’s Search City, and now it’s patrolling outside, when will they catch the person they want to arrest?”

I turned my head and smiled slightly: “That’s right.”

Even though the servant kindly reminded me that I still have to go downstairs to have breakfast, as soon as I arrived in the lobby, I saw five or six people wearing bamboo hats, black veils and all in black standing in front of the counter and bargaining with the shopkeeper. The bid was high, and the greedy shopkeeper finally agreed to let them stay for one night, but only for one night.

I took a look at these people, and then ate my breakfast carefully.

When everyone fell asleep in the middle of the night, someone knocked on my room in the silence. When I opened the door, I saw the man in black from Miaojiang. He was born extremely tall and strong, walked into the room without saying a word, and untied the veil hat he was wearing, and then took off his loose robe. It turned out that he was actually a thin man, and the reason why he looked tall was because he had a thick shoulder on his back. carrying a man.

He untied the man tied to his body and laid it on my bed, I thanked him in a low voice.

The Miaojiang man laughed and said, “Sure enough, the officers and soldiers only took a quick glance and found nothing wrong. Madam, you don’t need to thank me. We were saved because of your help before. It’s a trivial matter.”

He explained that they were going back to Miaojiang tomorrow, and said goodbye to me in advance. I agreed, thank you again and again.

The man quietly went back to his room, and I sat by the bed and looked at the pale and handsome man who was unconscious. It was Ji Yu who had been in a coma for a month.

Not long after we fled Songdu that day, Ji Yu vomited blood due to the backlash of the formation and finally fainted. Bi Lu said that he didn’t know how long it would take for him to wake up.

Ji Yang has already announced to the world the origins of the Han clan’s extermination of the clan and Ji Yu. Most of the Han family who have mastered Ji Yu’s secret birth are as angry as Ling Chang. His eyeliners who once turned into enemies in an instant. Hidden production cannot go to the bright side of the industry will definitely be investigated, now Ji Yu can be said to be fat on the chopping board, any country wants to share the knife, we can only flee secretly.

It would be fine if it fell into the hands of another king. Li Yan is cruel and knows Ji Yu’s ability well. If he captures Ji Yu to prevent him from escaping, he will probably make Ji Yu “lose the ability to escape” politely. That’s why Ji Yu left in such a costly way.

But for now, it seems that the price is on my shoulders.

I wiped the face of the pale man on the bed with a wet towel, leaned over and whispered in his ear, “It’s been a month, you should wake up.”

He closed his eyes silently, the dim light of the candlelight dancing on his face. Ji Yu was always in high spirits, and even when she was sick, she was domineering. How could she fall asleep so peacefully and weakly, as if she would shatter with a little force.

After washing, I lay on the bed, moved to him and held his hand, looking at his peaceful sleeping face and slowly talking about what happened recently.

Ji Yang used the territory of the original Yan State as a bait to attract countries to pursue Ji Yu, and at the same time, it also made Song State afraid to attack Zhou for the time being to avoid incurring hostility from other countries. Now that Ji Yu has been missing for a month, I asked Nan Su to sneak into the palace to find Qi Qi, and let Qi Qi persuade Li Yan to attack Zhou as soon as possible to prevent other countries from capturing Ji Yu. The situation is complicated.

On the other hand, I asked Xia Wan to go to Xin Ran, and let Xin Ran spread the word that Ji Yu had actually been captured by Emperor Zhou, and that it was a lie that Emperor Zhou offered such a generous reward to prevent Song from attacking him. Xin Ran’s natal family is in Luoyi, so her words are still very reliable.

In the end, I asked Lai Ying to go to Chang Le, who was married to King Zhao, and ask her to incite King Zhao to take advantage of the chaos to encroach on Zhou’s territory from behind.

Originally, I and Mo Xiao fled with Ji Yu, but a few days ago, I met Mo Xiao, who was inspecting the officers and soldiers, and separated from us. I helped them with those Miao people, and they agreed to help me bring Ji Yu into the city.

“This month is really not peaceful, but as far as the letters from all sides are concerned, the situation has already begun to become chaotic. As long as no one can catch you in the next month, there must be a country that can’t help but attack Zhou, and Ji Yang can’t defend Living in the land cannot fulfill its promise, and the contradiction will resolve itself.”

I lightly rubbed Ji Yu’s fingers, and said all the business matters that should be reported. After thinking about it carefully, I didn’t miss anything.

The moon is slowly setting, and bright colors are slowly appearing in the sky, insects and birds are singing, and the sun is about to rise. I stared fixedly at Ji Yu and whispered, “I have protected you well, so you have to live well.”

In the most difficult time, I couldn’t help but wonder if the kindness he treated me before was just to trick me into protecting him with all my strength at this time.

But when I think about it again, even if he doesn’t treat me that well, don’t say he likes me, I will do my best to protect him.

What can I do? I have always been helpless with Ji Yu. If he wants to lie to me, there is no room for me to fight back-isn’t this the reason why I refused to admit that I like him before.

“You said you were a **** villain, and I think so too. If you leave this situation to me, I should strangle you to death.” I said softly and plainly, and he naturally lay silently and didn’t answer. .

I looked at him for a while, sighed and kissed his cheek.

“Wake up and let me scold you. I’ve never scolded anyone before, Bo Yan.”

Life in this town is very stable, because there are many people coming and going at the junction of Song State and Fan State. Everyone is used to strangers like me. Before I came, the officers and soldiers had searched this town and continued to the next one. , the most wanted portrait is only Ji Yu’s. Naturally, an ordinary-looking woman like me is rarely suspected.

I hid Ji Yu in my room and waited for him to wake up while observing the wind direction of the officer and army. Bi Lu said that he should talk to him from time to time, maybe he can wake up soon, so I always talk to him when I have something to do.

I never knew I could talk like that.

“I was wondering, do you think that even if I like you very much with my character, I can live a peaceful life without you?”

The street was very quiet during the lunch break, and I lay beside him thinking about what the topic of the day would be. After much deliberation, he thought that before he fainted, he said that I could live a good life without him.

“I used to think so too. I didn’t realize it until you asked me last time. It’s not.”

That “life” is like a bubble, enveloping the air of nothingness.

This world is full of people I don’t care about and things I don’t care about. In order to protect myself from harm, I keep a distance from this world, so this world keeps a distance from me. I couldn’t be as mundanely happy as those people I met, blending in the day-to-day happiness.

After puncturing this bubble, I realized that the dripping water droplets are all from you.

It used to be A Yao, who I missed, and then Ji Yu, who I loved deeply. Only you are my connection to this world.

I spoke softly, then curled up and leaned against his arms, slowly said: “You wake up, I won’t be able to hold on anymore.”

The heartbeat in his chest, which had always been steady, suddenly became a little confused.
