Rebirth of the Phoenix

The unforgivable traitor

It's already dark.

After a busy day, both of them were exhausted, but could not calm down. Looking at the unconscious Ye Jiu, they kept praying in their hearts that the general would be alright.

Finally returning to Hongzhuang's hut, Hongren burst into tears for the first time when she saw Ye Jiu and Hongzhuang turned out like this. After being persuaded by the mute and One Eye for a long time, she calmed down and insisted on keeping vigil.

After the three people fed Yejiu and Hongzhuang soup and gruel, Mute and One Eye were really tired, so they spread their mats on the ground and fell asleep on the spot.

Hong Ren stayed by Hong Zhuang's bed and didn't sleep.

One night passed.

It was still dark, so Hongzhuang slowly opened her eyes. It took a long time before she remembered what had happened.

She propped herself up and sat up, and saw Mute and One-Eye lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, and Hong Ren lying on the table and falling asleep. The candles on the table had just burned out, and the morning light from outside came in, making the room dim and dim.

On a small bed next to her, Ye Jiu was lying motionless, like a corpse.

She lifted the thin quilt, struggled to get out of bed, and sat beside Ye Jiu's bed.

His skin, which was originally so white that it was almost transparent, is now bluish-yellow, and his right arm is still swollen in a large circle. His body is covered with wounds the size of needle holes, and there are beads of blood, and those bloodshots are purple-black.

She stretched out her fingers and touched his cheek. It was stiff and cold. If his pulse hadn't been beating, she would have thought he was going to die.

Thinking of him being poisoned like that, her eyes fell down and landed on Ye Jiu's face.

Ye Jiu's body was still numb and stiff, and he couldn't actually feel the touch of tears falling on his skin. However, as if he had a premonition, he struggled to open his eyes a little, opened his mouth slightly, and shouted, "

"Red Makeup".

In fact, he couldn't make a sound, but Hongzhuang thought she heard his cry.

"I'm here, I'm here..." She held his hand tightly, put it to her lips, pressed against the back of his hand, and whispered, "You have to be well, be well with me, and don't let anything happen...

"

"Hongzhuang...Hongzhuang...Hongzhuang..." Ye Jiu kept calling her name, with tears in her eyes.

Dreaming again.

He dreamed of Hongzhuang again.

Her face and figure were still so blurry, but they exuded a soft, warm light that made him feel at ease and happy.

Hongzhuang lowered her head, kissed the tears off his face, and murmured in his ear: "You must survive, otherwise I will hate you, you must survive..."

"Don't go..." Ye Jiu said.

"If you survive, I will not leave, never leave..."

"Okay, I will live, don't leave..."

Ye Jiu's voice was low, hoarse and vague, like chaotic breathing, but Hongzhuang understood what he was saying.

"Well, let's live together and live well." She said to him.

Ye Jiu tried hard to open his eyes wide and see her clearly, but his eyelids were as heavy as mountains and he just couldn't open his eyes and see her clearly.

What's wrong with him? Why is his body so stiff and heavy that he can't even move?

Is he dying again?

It seemed that every time he was about to die, he would dream about Hongzhuang.

Will he survive this time? He doesn't know.

Because, after his eyelids moved a few times, he was so tired that he had to close his eyes and indulge in her reassuring fragrance.

The poison he was poisoned was incurable, You Mang said so a long time ago.

Ye Yingxian successfully got rid of Youmang, but he was not happy at all. He stayed up all night and looked at Youmang alone until dawn.

His mind was always fixed on the moment of Ye Jiu's death.

The shade of trees is everywhere, the greenery is thick, and the grass and trees are showing off their vitality, but Ye Jiu, the man with a face exactly like Qing Ge, is lying there, lifeless, and he is still thinking about himself

Dead.

Why is that man so stupid? He finally escaped, finally had everything he has now, and has a bright future, but why did he sacrifice his life for him?

Is it because he was saved by him before? So Ye Jiu wants to repay his kindness? At the risk of his own life?

In his life, he hated traitors the most. However, this traitor risked his own life to save him. What an irony!

And why does his heart keep hurting because of this?

There was a knock on the door outside.

It took him a long time before he answered: "Come in."

Xi Xian ran in and whispered: "Phantom is back and is looking for Youmang everywhere."

Yesterday, the "Phantom" lying in the woods pretending to be dead was an impostor disguised by Hua Lian, in order to deceive You Mang and lower You Mang's vigilance.

Youmang is an experienced top master, and Phantom is his companion who has been with him through life and death. How easy is it to deceive him?

Long before the prince set out to Gucheng, people from Qianmen were entrusted by the prince to secretly send the disguise master Hua Lian and several other masters to lurk in Gucheng to secretly meet and help the prince.

After the prince arrived in Gucheng, Hua Lian disguised himself as Dong Xian, lived in the general's mansion, and secretly observed the phantom's words and deeds, while the real Dong Xian got out and secretly arranged the things that the prince had told him, phantom and Youmang.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that the prince had laid out the plan so early.

After Hua Lian observed Phantom thoroughly, the prince finally activated the trap to kill You Mang.

The general's mansion was full of people from Phantom and Youmang. It was impossible to kill these two people in the general's mansion. Therefore, the prince first lured Phantom out. Phantom followed the prince around and did not return to the general's mansion for two days.

Youmang felt something was wrong, so he took people to find Phantom, and found the woods.

A trap had been set up in the woods long ago. Hua Lian disguised himself as a phantom and lay there pretending to be dead. Finally, he successfully deceived You Mang. Therefore, You Mang did not guard against Hua Lian. Hua Lian took advantage of his archery skills to deal with the prince.

He was stabbed from behind.

Youmang died like this.

The real phantom has been following Dongxian and doesn't know what happened in the woods.

This morning, Phantom came back and heard that Youmang had brought someone to look for him yesterday. He felt something was wrong and searched everywhere for Youmang's whereabouts.

After hearing this, Ye Yingxian said calmly: "Let him find it, and we will proceed as planned."

He has buried all the corpses of You Mang and his men so deep that there is probably no chance of them being dug out for the rest of their lives. Phantom will never find them no matter how hard they look.

Without Youmang and the disabled right arm, the Phantom will be much easier to deal with.

And he will let people secretly release some rumors to confuse the phantom and confuse the phantom's judgment.

Phantom searched for three whole days without finding Youmang, but heard the news that Yejiu had sent people to sneak into Gucheng.

Originally, he suspected that King Xiaoyao was secretly responsible for setting up Youmang, but after hearing the news, he began to think that it was probably Yejiu's people who secretly dealt with Youmang.

He began to send a large number of people to secretly spy and investigate Yejiu's people in the city.

Finally, he heard a shocking news: Liang Hongye, Yejiu's accomplice, had sneaked into Gucheng in order to assassinate him and Youmang!

In this way, Youmang's disappearance can be explained.

That Liang Hongye was not a believer. He and You Mang had fallen into her trap as early as when they were in Tiandu. Now, this woman had come prepared and it was not very possible for You Mang to fall into her poisonous hands.

So, on the one hand, he asked people to investigate the women and strangers who entered the city from Wei Shaanxi Pass within a month, and on the other hand, he sent people to Wei Shaanxi Pass to find Ying Wuhen, and obtained a complete entry list from the Ying Family Army.

All people entering and exiting Dashun from Weishan Pass must fill in a form when entering and exiting, including the number of people, name, age, place of origin, destination, reason for entry and exit, etc. Basically, no one will fill in the real information.

, However, the most basic information such as number of people, age, gender, etc. will not be wrong. From this list, you can get more or less clues.

After studying the thick list for a long time, Phantom made a long list of suspicious characters and asked his men to check them one by one.

The entire Gucheng is under his control, and he has plenty of manpower. If he continues the investigation like this, he is not afraid of finding any clues about Liang Hongye.

His actions were all under Ye Yingxian's surveillance.

The news that Liang Hongye was in Gucheng was leaked by Ye Yingxian. Ye Yingxian did this to divert Phantom's suspicion of himself and to make Liang Hongye and Phantom kill each other, from which he benefited.

He believed that Liang Hongye did not come alone.

Ye Jiu is already the Lieutenant General of Xiliang Kingdom, and the Silhouette Army is guarding the dangerous Shaanxi Pass not far away. How could he come alone?

Ye Jiu must have brought many capable men into Gucheng. Ye Jiu is dead. Liang Hongye and those people are a force that cannot be underestimated, enough to make Phantom suffer a lot.

If Phantom died in Liang Hongye's hands, it would save him a lot of trouble.

If Liang Hongye dies in the hands of Phantom, then he can be regarded as eliminating a scourge for Dashun.

Liang Hongye's fight with Phantom was originally a good thing for him, but Ye Yingxian was not at all happy.

He put his hands behind his hands and stood under the eaves, watching the rain hitting the flowers, his heart full of sadness.

During this time, he thought about what happened five years ago countless times. Thinking back to the time when he met Luo Hongzhuang, Liang Hongye, and Ye Jiu, if he could, he really didn't want to look at the people he had helped and saved.

Died because of his plan.

However, he has no choice or mercy for traitors.

Why did she and Ye Jiu choose the path of no return of treason?

If they didn't choose this path, he wouldn't be able to do this.

No matter how capable Liang Hongye is, as long as he stays in this solid city, he will be found by the Phantom sooner or later. In this sense, he is the one who sent Liang Hongye to his death.

Ye Jiu died trying to save him, and Liang Hongye originally came to help him. The information she provided helped him a lot, but in the end, she died because of him.

Luo Hongzhuang... He recited this name silently. If you were still alive, would you blame me?

Blame me for not avenging you, blame me for killing a good sister who wanted to avenge you?
